Dunno what i was expecting

Hello, im f2p and I haven't been playing very consistently but I plan on farming quite a bit after this week to gather some pulls and ideally unbrick my account. I have E0S0 phainon cause I had planned to pull for cerydra on the rerun however that did not go as planned and now my phainon is very much cerydraless and i don't think she's coming back anytime soon. I run him with Sunday, sparkle/RMC/ruan mei and dhpt but lately he hasn't been doing so good.

My pull plans for upcoming banners have been so:

Himeko Nova in hopes she's f2p friendly and will help me clear endgame without much investment. Plus i already have welt and Sunday and from the looks of it they synergise well

Rin Tohsaka for my archer team since i already have him at e1 and even have sparkle but no 3B. He's still really solid so I want to invest into that

Lastly this one is a bit of hopium, my FuA team. Its currently E0S1 feixiao with ashveil and mblade and i have basically no complaint with it, i don't care about 0 cycles so the team performs just fine and i get to use Feixiao again. However, I have heard rumours about a new FuA Main DPS which I won't talk about. Im not too excited about them but if they replace Feixiao in my current FuA team, i probably will pull for them too since feixiao won't last too long without a novaflare and I want to keep using the team.

Now, i had given up on phainon. I mean I don't have his signature, no E2, no cerydra so I'd thought there's not really any point.... But I really don't want to stop using him. He needs that vertical investment and something tells me he should be viable even in the future with it. Cerydra might get a rerun in a year or sometime in the future. Every other charcter I've mentioned here, will probably get a rerun much sooner (-_-;) Rin will most likely and hopefully will be available long term so archer can wait he's still fine. Himeko will be here in like a month so maybe i can still grab her and if not then I'll get her on the rerun im not that crazy about her. And we don't even know much about the alleged FuA Main DPS so they should still be fairly far off into the future. So, can I, should I, in the meantime, grab e2 phainon? (-_-;) Will he work fine even without cerydra? I don't think I'll be able to get his S1 if I go for E2 so is he still good with just Aeon S5?

Or am i a fool who has his sights set up too high and i should give up on my hopes and aspirations and let my phainon rest, bricked, alongside my DoT team with no blackswan and my anaxa with no cerydra

This thought has kept me up all night.

TLDR; is e2 phainon still a viable option going into the future, WITHOUT S1 AND CERYDRA and i mean anywhere comparable to archer team with rin and Himeko astral express team?

Hello! New player here, this is my current team im rolling with. I don't have any w engines for lycaon, does pulchra's W5 work on him? And what Bangboo should I pull for

Also I'm still trying to pull for billy's W engine but i think i might have to settle for Manato's sig at this rate, i currently have him on a puzzle sphere

Is this okay? Im using her with mblade and ashveil. What relic set do I give to ashveil and what should be stats i need to aim for?

And no I don't have her e2 :(

I've been farming the prisoner set for so long until recently i see eagle being used? Is there that much of a difference?

The team i use is Kafka e0s1, hysilens e0s0 (the sampo lightcone s5), Ruan mei e0s0 with the break effect lightcone idk what else she should use maybe DDD? And Dan Heng Partial Therapy E0s0

I don't have black swan and i know she's needed for DoT premium but i hope the team can still clear some endgame content with the right relics and lightcones, im not here for 0 cycles or anything

I need some serious guidance on which relics to farm here and what stats to aim for, even for ruan mei she's just kinda there rn im ngl

I also have sampo e6, gui e4, huohuo e0s0 so if they or any other unit work better in any scenario, let me know

Thank you so much 🙂‍↕️

I started playing a few weeks ago, im f2p.

Saw billy and knew he's gonna be my first pull. I did pull for lucia but had bad luck so i saved up for billy instead. Got him early but i just hit hard pity on his w-engine and lost the 50/50.

Im still gonna keep trying to pull for it but incase I don't get it, what are my options realistically? I got manato's stupid w engine to max, twice, so is that something? Im currently using a puzzle sphere tho I've heard it's bad. Oh and what about teams? Im using pulchra and pan. I heard lycaon's pretty good stunner for him, is he better than a m0 pulchra? I don't have a w engine thats appropriate for him, tho pulchra's is maxed.

I would also appreciate some general tips like what to look out for in game 🙂‍↕️
