How important is Hyancine lightcone?

I currently have E1S1 castorice E2S1 Cyrene e0s0 hyacine E1 tribbie

If rumors are true about evernight rerun, is e0s1 evernight big upgrade over E1 tribbie? I read evernight needs Hyacine lightcone

speculated kit of future Sustain Elation support (possible spoiler)

Please do not repost nor take this as official

Elevation support 4.6

- prompt own elation skill after using basic attack or skill

- when using elation skill grant shield to allies and generate punchline +3~5

- if ally's hp is lower than 50%, trigger elation skill. Reset every use of ult

- have self crit increasing stats 50% or 80% (might be base on spd)

- if allies have shield, gain immunity to action delay. Also have CC immune similar to Fuxuan but reset after every ult(not sure how it will interact with sw999's firewall)

- if allies have shield, gain spd 20(might changed to elation dmg bonus)

- increases own speed

- extend buffs such as certified banger when aha instant triggers

- 1-2 of the mention ability might be locked on eidolon

Outrageous speculation for another elation character after 4.6, mountain of salt (pure elation)

Copies ultimate, ex: you'll have 2nd sw999 on combat when you copy sw999 ult

How much of an upgrade is E0S0 or s1 Sparxie on my team E2S1 SW999 E1S1 Yao

How much of an upgrade is E0S0 or s1 Sparxie on my team E2S1 SW999 E1S1 Yao

Planning on using RMC on different team

0 cycle pure fiction no elation buff (E2S1 SW999)

I am kind of skeptical about this, it feels like pure fiction is buffing SW999 even when not choosing the elation buff.

Also, do you'll think they will remove furbo on pure fiction in the future?

E2 SW999 with no Sparxie and Yao Guang 150 AV clear AA

I wish Yao Guang has some sort of DDD advance on her kit and self energy Regen when ally hits like Dalia or Fugue.

It feels like déjà vu whenever a new powerful main damage dealer is released, only to have flaws deliberately built into their kit (clearly intended to push us toward pulling for future characters).

So, how confident can we be about SW999’s future BIS supports? Will she end up with a team like Castorice’s, or more like Phainon’s team?

Will they release supports that partially patch her issues without fully fixing them similar to how Cerydra (E1 bait) worked with Phainon followed later by another support like Cyrene, who only becomes tolerable at E2? Or will it be more like Hyacine for Castorice, who solved most problems right at release and was already a strong overall support, with later additions like Evernight and Cyrene (and even Tribbie in certain conditions) being complete without extra eidolons, yet scaling even further with them (ex Evernight’s E1 Finality damage boost and strong E2 as well, or Hyacine’s E1 and E2)?

After spending the past few days with SW999, I’m amazed by her damage output but equally frustrated by these issues:

  1. Weak Toughness Break - Her toughness break is almost nonexistent. The only noticeable toughness break comes from her Elation skill, which is also randomly targets enemies and often misses the boss (like the current Sparxie Boss in AA). watch this video here on this sub to get what I mean
  2. Ultimate Activation Problem - Buffs that trigger ultimates or “Brain in Vat” don’t let SW999 activate her ultimate again after the last EBA. She lacks a reserved ultimate feature like other characters. This is somewhat fixed by her E1, but it still requires much more than to be fully utilized...which is on number 3
  3. Punchline requirements - Fully utilizing her E1 requires reaching 300 MMR before her last EBA ends, to regain 60 MMR and re-activate her ultimate. This creates problems that are “solved” only through external sources like signature lightcones or teammates’ eidolons similar to Phainon’s team Cerydra(e1 bait), E2 Cyrene.
  4. Buff Duration Complexity - Managing her buff uptime feels like rocket science. E2 helps, but not enough. It feels like her kit was rushed, especially with the decision to make her scale on Speed, where current supports can't keep up. please watch this video https://youtu.be/3Frsavdvs_s?si=5J4hTKghMxKrT5Oy
  5. Speed Scaling Limitation - Unlike Aglea’s speed conversion that can infinitely stack attack, SW999’s scaling is capped at 260 spd. Why limit a supposedly god-tier character?
  6. Crowd Control Resistance Failure - Her Global CC resistances don’t work against negative curios or skill points = freeze in currency wars. One of the main reasons I pulled for her was the expectation she could dispel these debuffs. I was disappointed perhaps foolishly for assuming an anniversary character would resolve these long-standing issues in DU and CW runs.

I am sorry for the long post and the personal rants, but thank you for reading.

Ultimately, I hope SW999 ages like Castorice with supports were complete upon release and didn’t require extra eidolons to fix core problems like MMR generation, while still becoming stronger with eidolons (e.g., Evernight’s E1 Finality damage boost).

Due to heavy buffs which is adding punch line every turn, I was able to clear 0 cycle AA.

Will they rerun Yao and Sparxie next patch? and E1 Yao vs her light cone?

Also sorry , I didn't knew that posting lose 50 50 on banner is being deleted by mods due to doom posting on this sub
