Also you can just wait a patch and pick up Phainon instead, who looks to be more all-purpose than either

Serval is an adequate second Erudition unit for her if you build the 3* cone Passkey you can skil + Ult every turn to build lots of stacks for Herta.

I mean, it works, but The Herta already eats up a ton of SP. Outside of a few bosses, mini-Herta is going to be a better bet

Aglea's power hinges heavily on not-dropping her Ult state, which is very difficult to achieve without Sundays + Huo Huo and her E1.

...I can manage it without Huohuo or any eidolons. She is kinda hard to play, and I think she needs a few kills to pull it off, but it's not some whale-only strat. But, still, Aglaea is absolutely not worth investing in for a new player

Also if you pick Herta as a main dps, consider hunting for her LC which solves her aforementioned SP issues. It's likely to remain very good for other Erudition units down the line too.

[1] well that’s unfortunate, because of those 3 units, huohuo is the only one i have

herta it is

and as for [2] i’ll keep that in mind next time rappa gets a rerun (if she ever does) and try to acquire her, too

Haven't really been able to listen much, but Caelus/Stelle have sadly been recast. At least Stelle still sounds pretty good from the story recap thing, but it'll be a while before I have time for the story and hear more. For now the old voices are still in, presumably next patch is when the redubbing is done for them.

Won my 50:50 and got Hyazine's LC. I'm empty now but I got enough pity for one more 5* pull.

Guess after this I will start saving for Tribie's re-run to get her E1.

I suppose it would be in poor taste to make a joke about Mydei getting rammed from behind by Phainon's thick sword

Galactic Baseballer event is still fantastic. Honestly, they could remake this every two patches and I don't think I would grow bored, it's just so much fun.

[up][up] His kit is super wordy but it seems that he is more or less made to be played with 3 buffers to prep him up and then unleash his ult which puts him alone on the field, which eliminates the need for a sustain.

So apparently for a free unit, Archer isn't currently very F2P friendly. Word on the street is that he absolutely needs Sparkle as a support.

[up] Sorta, it's like they designed him to synergize perfectly with Sparkle. He is an SP burner like QQ or DHIL, his skill costs 2 SP per cast, can be cast multiple times per turn and each b2b-cast doubles the dmg of the next arrow. He himself has a passive that increases the SP cap by +1, this stacks with Sparkle's +2 so you can reach 8 SP max which lets you shoot a second +200% arrow if you were maxed.

Kinda amused Sparkle got designated the Archer support and his kit designed around her being around on the basis she's the closest to visually resemble Rin. can't wait for the Harmony ginger guy in blue/white who super buffs Saber in a future 3.X update

Hylarn (Don’t ask)
#3647: May 23rd 2025 at 5:32:32 AM

Based on what I know about Phainon's kit, I think he is also going to really want Sparkle. So she's probably going to rerun soon

[up][up][up][up] if he’s going to be a SP-hungry F 2 P unit, who are F 2 P players supposed to use as supports? would it be ideal to use hunt march 7th, since she’s the basic attack spammer who only needs to use her skill once?

Buffs for older characters (from the beta)

Blade: Now scales entirely off of HP
His FUA regenerates energy
His skill gives him a taunt
E1 now also affects enhaced attack

Jingliu: Also scales entirely with HP
Teammates losing HP gives her a stack of Crit DMG buff
Gains an extra stack of Syzygy when entering powered up state
E1 now lets her deal extra damage to the main target
E4 is changed entirely, is just a flat buff to Crit DMG now
E6 now also gives Ice resistance penetration

Kafka: Skill DOT trigger now affects all targets
Her Passives are reworked entirely: "Torture" is retooled entirely, it's old effects are now just built into her Ultimate, and it now buffs DOT damage if an ally has enough effect hit rate
"Thorns" now lets her FUA detonate DOTs, it can also activate more times
E1 now activates off basic attack instead of FUA
E2 now buffs Kafka attack for 3 turns when she uses a FUA, can stack up to twice

Silver Wolf: Ultimate is now AOE
Skill will prioritize adding weakness types of your party, chance of adding weaknesses incresed
When an enemy dies, Wolf's debuffs (including new weaknesses) will be transferred to a different enemy
Regens energy at the beginning of each turn
Higher effect hit rate will also increase her attack
E2 now increases damage taken, and will implant a Bug whenever an ally attack an enemy affected by it

Word on the street is that Kafka is the big winner here, she is now a solid DOT support who can deal out huge damage alongside that
