Ah yes the Break edition of the Dark Sam fight, with 3 puppets on the first side, with their 3 toughness bars allowed Rappa enough damage to squeeze by a Zero cycle, and the main Optimization I had to do to make Dark Sam as efficient as possible was to let Dark Sam break itself rather then Rappa breaking the toughness, to get his bugs back up quickly. Which allowed Rappa to Brute force through the tanky 20m HP in 3 cycles.

The MOC AA can be nice but you'll need Rappa to act every time before each cycle ends to get the most use of it.

Sparxie with her Evolution of Anaxa's Sub DPS style, but for 4.x, was proven to be fully Copium sub dps for the Silver wolf Elation team. Thanks to the midoff Aven is having with her (As he has a Impossible Uphill battle vs Srobin in Ashblade), and as a way to try and make his uphill battle with Srobin a little less Impossible. He managed to powercreep Sparxie in elation. Also Srobin is So OP, and is also the most synergistic Non elation thing Silver wolf can get, no wonder she's better then Sparxie in Elation.

Also we look at Anaxa, who from the start he was seen as Hypercarry, as he was considered copium in Herta team outside of Scenarios Herta didn't do really well in from the Start. As time went on she done less well in the Anaxa favored scenarios as Hoyo inflated HP in endgame. Also as Jade and Mini Herta were seen as Automatically better then Him in AOE Scenarios. Hoyo saw that and Decided to go through with doubling down on his Main DPS, first with Cerydra giving him 4 skills, and Cyrene with her Ode to reason Bass boosting his Skill damage, and then once again Srobin being mentioned here (Cuz of how OP she is) Kicking Cerydra out of Sustain Anaxa team. As her big buffs give him so Much more Damage with his normal skills, to the point it Out-damages Cerydra's 4 skills + his lower damage skills.

Now that Sparxie is seen as Copium in a Silver wolf Elation team, what do Hoyo do with her going Forward? If we stay consistent by the Anaxa style of Sub DPS, Hoyo is going to purely focus Improve Sparxie's Hypercarry performance, With Future Elation supports purely providing Synergy that helps improve Sparxie Hypercarry. Like how future supports tried to Improve Anaxa's Hypercarry, rather then try to Band aid the broken Synergy between Sparxie and Silver wolf. Will we see Sparxie Hypercarry really become her best purpose as a unit?

Or will my Agenda die in Darkness, If Pearl is no better then E1S0 DHPT, let alone Huohuo in a Sparxie hypercarry team. Plus newer Elations not helping her, to the point Sparxie's fate is really to be seen as the most Bricked unit since Jiaoqiu and Topaz.

I am gonna be frank, I had a lot of fun with DDD spamming both HMC and E2 Fugue, Both Pom Pom and Gepard I got 40k on first try, while Abon Deer took 2, with my first attempt getting 38K.

Love using Rappa wherever I can Sustain or sustainless as I wait for future opportunities to further invest in Rappa rather that be another Dahila rerun for her E2, or shop/Celestial Invitation Additions for her and the other parts of her team.

Got her E2 at 35 pity and her E1 at 66 pity, and Her E2 is absolutely fun to play, through Sparxie Hypercarry, and Sparxie/SW elation team. So fun that I went through the RNG to do SW/Sparxie Elation (Least RNG) and 6 different sustain/sustainless Sparxie Hypercarry comps, and scored sub 200 av with all of them besides Huohuo sustain comp, with SW elation scoring the lowest av at 139 av.

The extra turn is super fun to play around, Hypercarry or even Elation team. Albeit vs Graphia, outside of SW Sparxie elation, and Huohuo sustain, I did go through varying amounts of RNG to get the clears, from Mblade and Tribbie low to medium amounts of RNG, to Rng Resetslop fest with Cipher, EMC, and Ashveil. With a lot of the RNG coming around hit RNG and Graphia's train attack.

Much more RNG then SW999, but a score not too far off from if Sw999 was in his slot. Ashveil did die when Graphia summoned her mobs, but that didn't matter as Graphia was finished off with 234 av consumed.

Investment

E1S1 Sparxie (Working towards her E2 currently)

E6S1 Sparkle

E1S1 Yaoguang

E1S1 Ashveil

Ashveil seriously is quite goated no matter where I put him in, Bro provides a crap ton of amp and versatile damage, and now with Mblade, he has one of the most fun teams in the game. Bro's the peak man of HSR for me.

Did take 6 cycles almost 5 cycles, but Those Toughness bars were Gorgeous, 3-5 Elite enemies, and Graphia respawning those Toughness bars feels crazy good, with the only Downside being Graphia's 40% Img Res.

Chars used

E0S1 Rappa, 35 substats

E2S0 Fugue

E1S1 Dahila

E0S1 (Loucha sig) Lingsha

No HP sap mechanics and actual Healing from Corrosion and Asatfied Graphia's RNG Heal/HP Sap made this super Easy to do Sustainless. Effortless Zero cycle with about 226 av consumed av and aganist the Tankiest AA (Even with Sparxie dying), E0S1 Sparxie Hyper did a 1 cycle of this.

I love Sparxie Skin, absolutely pretty, and I enjoyed playing her with her Skin.

And definitely working towards E2 Sparxie at the moment, which will likely go even Crazier vs this AA

E1S1 Yaoguang

Give me your Sunder, Inversion, and Hemovore, This is Elation powered by E6 Sparkle we are up aganist.

Got 36k with Lingsha rather then HMC, so Pulled out HMC and not only got 40k on side 2 but even the Starward side 3, and attempted a 40k Side 1, but Lygus killed my team at around 38.6k Score.

This Thumbs up Relic thingy baits me a little too much, The thumbs up pops up when the relic has a mere atk stat, maybe with Spd or one Crit, the most dumb part is it Loves to Thumbs up HP boots and HP orbs for Evanescia like this stupid piece.

Building my Evanescia showed me the full brunt of the thumbs up systems random stupidity

Wanted to clear a Knight with Rappa this time around

If not for a certain debuff that starts the team out at 0 energy & -50 er, I would probably 2 cycle even with Lingsha instead of HMC, and the current team would have had a lot easier time 2 cycling.

This feels like one of the better Knights for her besides the Depowered debuff.

My Rappa does have around 35 effective substats, with the effective subs going into 175 spd and 250 BE

Sparxie Hypercarry performed better then SW Elation team with Huo2 (That team 4 cycled almost 3 cycled Swarm king), couldn't do SW999 instead of DHPT as the -500 HP kills my team pretty quickly (Died around second phase of Swarm king's with it having most of it's 20m hp), otherwise that would be my clear rather then Sparxie hyper as the difference between any current Sustain and my E6 Sparkle for Sw999 is basically Astronomical.

Also the Clear was done with both Elation + the 60% Fire res + fire Weakness buff, both landed me at a very similar av in the second cycle, so both are pretty interchangeable, which is nice for Sparxie to get two synergistic buffs rather then the usual elation buff for this AA king

Team

E0S1 Sparxie:

E1S0 Yaoguang: Got her E1 right as her rerun came live (Currently aiming for her sig lc)

E6S1 Sparkle:

E1S0 DHPT

Can't wait to E2 my Sparxie when she does rerun. Which I assume won't be long especially with >!The rumored skin for 3.4!<

Ashveil did the first side in 1 cycle, Rappa did the second side in 3 cycles

Joy Ascendant absolutely made the first half of the second side a lot easier, certainty feels like Indirect Rappa shill, As it's 3 forms gives Rappa a crap ton of Energy, splitting into a total of 7 Elite Toughness bars, and has Low HP to the point that it's easy for it to get pushed into Prelude and FInale states, and because of how crazy it was for Rappa she was able to 0 cycle the first half, (I usually 1 cycle the 1st half with the current HP levels in MOC), and then she went through Pompom in 3 cycles, which was decently better then fighting through Dark Sam 5 cycles, (1 first half 4 second halr)

Rappa and Dahila have their Sigs, Lingsha is using Loucha's Sig, and Fugue has Pearls of sweat.

Had E0S1 Dahila and 2pc Taila beforehand, but Rerolling a ATK orb I got on the Kapigani set when I was doing a Break set Relic Recon, It Originally had 5 SPD and 11.6% BE, but Rerolling it and xing out the 2 rolls in Effect Res got me this (Which is even Better then my Taila 4 roll BE 2 spd). I probably would just need to Minmax her some more to get AEON. ranking

I also got E1 Dahila before her Banner ended (Could've gotten E2 but Lost her E1s 50/50 to E2 Yunli) but whenever Dahila Reruns again her E2 will be mine,
