If I currently have E1S0 Archer, E0S0 Dan Heng PT, and E0S0 Sparkle, would it be close between E0S0 Robin Summeretto and E0S0 Rin for the 4th slot or would one notably pull ahead of the other?
Suppose I am using Acheron/Mortenax Blade/Hyacine. Would E0S0 Robin be better than E0S0 Tribbie in this slot?
Suppose I have Castorice E0S1, Evernight E0S1, Cyrene E0S0, Hyacine E0S1.
What is a better 2 cost investment from this point? Specifically, which team will clear faster on average? E2 Castorice or E1 Evernight and E1 Hyacine?
With the release of Mortenax Blade and Robin Summeretto, it seems like Evernight is getting phased out of Castorice's best team. What was the point of Evernight as a support/sub-dps to be so niche and not even be powerful in that niche? Castorice was the only viable team to play Evernight as a support/sub-dps. She should have been like Chevreuse (for those of you who play Genshin) where you are rewarded with massive buffs for meeting her strict team building requirements. Instead, all Evernight provides is crit damage (which is saturated in these teams) and a bit of vulnerability (which isn't even full uptime). Mortenax Blade and Robin have bigger buffs than Evernight while being far more universal too.
Now it seems like Evernight is just a main DPS where she is just outclassed by Castorice because Robin Summeretto buffed Castorice and they'd use the same teammates.
Does it feel like Cyrene is much harder to replace for Aglaea, Anaxa, Mydei, Phainon (at very high investment) compared to Castorice and Evernight? Unironically, even though people claimed the Mono Remembrance characters all have great synergy with one another, since Cyrene's specific Chrysos Heir buffs are so awful for Castorice and Evernight but actually quite good for those other DPS I mentioned (except maybe Phainon at low investment) she ends up being far more irreplaceable for those other DPS.
We have already seen first Mortenax Blade and now Robin Summeretto powercreeping Cyrene in a Castorice team. Cyrene is actually LEAST needed in Mono Rem surprisingly among all Chrysos Heir teams.
With how powerful Robin looks, are Evernight and Cyrene getting kicked out of Castorice's best team for Mortenax Blade and Robin, respectively? Does this mean that Evernight and Cyrene were not that strong to begin with, since they could get replaced so easily?
March has zero relevance in the main story this patch while the Trailblazer hogs all of it. Even though Himeko has known March and the rest of the Astral Express crew far longer than the Trailblazer, the Trailblazer gets the big emotional scene of the patch to themselves while everyone else fades into the background.
Odette feels like the Xilonen of this region. Versatile but far from necessary and quite replaceable in all archetypes. She could end up getting replaced in these archetypes as they add stronger, more specialized supports for these teams.
C6 Cryo MC seems more impactful than her as a support for Stellar Swirl Teams while C6 Alyosha and C1 Yae seem more impactful than her as a support for Stellar Conduct teams.
So much of her balance (her kit mostly buffing her own damage, her signature weapon only buffing her own damage, the new supportive set not being unique to her) is tied to her personal damage even though she is doing a measly 500-600k damage per rotation in these teams or like 18-20% of the team DPS. Her signature weapon is a joke because she is contributing such a small proportion of the team damage.
Her Stellar Reaction dmg buff is not even that good because it is so oversaturated in these teams. C1 Yae and C6 Cryo MC do nearly twice as much damage as Odette in these teams with comparable buffing, while Alyosha C6 does less damage than her but has SUBSTANTIALLY bigger buffs and healing to make up for it.
These Stellar Conduct teams dont even have a resistance shredder yet. As soon as we get one, Odette might get kicked out since she doesn't offer any resistance shred.
Would a team of E0S0 Firefly, E0S0 Dahlia, E0S0 Ruan Mei, and Harmony Trailblazer be strong enough to get full stars in all the endgame content? Would there be an issue with skill point management in this team?
