E4 havers, is her E4 noticeable when she's not the main carry?

I'm going from E2 to E6 Cyrene next rerun for my E6 Cas and E2 Hyacine & Evernight, and usually I end up using her ultimate more on giving Hyacine energy because her 6 bounces deal only about ~1M damage while the E1 proc deals 2.4M without stage buffs.

I tried this Plight stage run and it seems that I usually use the shooting star about 5 times in a single battle(for procing Hyacine E1, or clearing mobs with low HP) which is a 30% multiplier buff and that still sounds disappointing. This Eidolon seems impossible to even reach 50% of it's max potential outside of Cyrene hypercarry where RMC helps out a lot too

(I miss the days when it was a 12% multiplier increase up to 12 stacks back in the beta)

So what do we think about Pantalone and Dottore's relationship?

That last chat between Dottore and Pantalone was pretty entertaining to watch, I actually gave my attention in a good while playing the story.

One thing that just catches my mind is that Pantalone has absolutely no regards for his own health, smoking 20 cigarettes a day and Dottore having to replace Pantalone's charred lungs was very shocking, frankly even more than the experiments he had done.

Dottore and Pantalone isn't really 'friends' by the traditional sense, but they have been working for purely for each other's benefit and that was just the right amount of relationship both was in need. It felt like reading noir.

Holding your face

It's sad to see people ignoring Castorice because of Cyrene, I still remember the CaeRice ship getting all the hype at the early days of Amphoreus(also with the drama coming along too lol), she even left behind a ring after the 3.2 quest- she's basically Cyrene's prototype!

I'd say that Castorice got the wife treatment for the first half of Amphoreus and Cyrene being the second half when she got screentime starting from 3.4's side quests!

Blade is eating well this beta cycle 🥳

He's surely the best Nihility unit in the game now

Can't imagine how strong will the new FuA team be when Aventurine releases, right?

Oh how I yearn of Polyxia's playability

https://www.pixiv.net/artworks/137895659

I wish we got more content about Polyxia, the idea of twin sisters being placed in the same team and dominating meta was too good to be true

The biggest tragedy is that the Rememberance flagship team is already complete and all 4 teammates are too peak to be replaced

Add a 5th slot or something idk man

Do you think Phainon will ever need a sustain? (Anomaly Arbitration)

Hoyo released Phainon's dedicated sustain who is DHPT who can give Phainon shields even when off-field, but the only 2 times when Phainon needed a sustain was the first two versions of Anomaly Arbitration(especially Plight mode) which was Lygus and Aquila.(even then, Lygus gave Phainon a free ultimate so dying had lesser stakes)

I've been using E6 Phainon, E2 Cyrene, E2 Cerydra, and E1 Tribbie(E2 Sparkle post 4.0), and after 3.7 AA, the bosses' attacks didn't hurt as much as before and we can see Phainon clearing Plight stages up until this day without a sustain. And because of that, DHPT didn't feel like he's doing his role to the fullest because endgame didn't hurt as much before.

What makes me interested in this topic is that I also tried clearing Plight modes with another team which is Castorice, and while things were doable up until 4.1, starting from 4.2(and 4.3 too), she started getting heavily antishilled with high resistance and mob spawner mechanics that spreads her bounce attacks so that she can't focus on the boss and she couldn't clear anymore starting from 4.2 AA without any further investment.

Compared to the two other main pushes who is Phainon and Cyrene, they both have their attacks performed through extra turns so they bypass the mob spawner mechanics, and long story short, the devs designed the 4.3 AA to let Phainon and Cyrene bypass the stage mechanics again.(Castorice is not having a great time lol)

I thought that Castorice's team is too strong so it's unlikely that she would be unable to clear Plight while others can, but the devs proved that they can control what characters can clear more easily by controlling stage mechanics, and this made me start wondering whether will the devs turn on Phainon one day and force him a sustain so that DHPT will get a chance to actually do his job as Phainon's sustain to clear extremely hard stages like Plight mode.

What do you think? Do you think the devs will force Phainon to use DHPT(or any other sustain) to survive stage mechanics? Was DHPT even designed to sustain Phainon?

Won the 50/50 for the Gongcha collab 👍

The employee definitely knows a Castorice E6 user when he sees one lol, thank God I didn't need to reroll and spend another 8 bucks 🤩

What the hell is this buff 😭

~75% final dmg increase? This is the craziest AA buff I've ever seen 😭

>! (totally not a meme created from a salty Rememberance main constantly getting hyper-countered b2b in recent AA) !<

The hell?

I had my triple Golden Trash Phainon completed before, so I picked the eternal reoccurence Investment Strategy and guess what, I got a golden trash bag at the second plane and everything was a breeze from then.

I think this is theoretically the fastest possible way to get a cracked run

Please buff Evernight

She's the worst slop I've ever seen for a 4-cost chatacter, wdym I can't breeze through the first plane when I have her E2S1 with the night demigods

Castorice is infinitely better for being the same 4-cost night demigod

Her passive needs a buff too, a small amount of crit damage with lucky strike damage is not enough

I had the E2S1 team but seeing that they can't beat this Plight anymore, I decided to get Castorice's final Eidolon for a boost and this changes so much.

People say that breaking enemies are bad because they won't attack to charge Castorice's ultimate, but the 10% damage increase from the weakness broken state and delaying the boss from debuffing the team adds in more space to wiggle in damage

And the fact that the dragon alone massively depletes weakness bars, 60 AoE from the breath, 10 AoE from the enhanced skill, and 45 from the 9 bounces too, she's an honorary break character, if only not for the self-destruct there would definitely be break Castorice builds running out there. I dare to say that she's even better than SW999 when it comes to breaking enemies because of how frequent the dragon spawns, and the difference will get even bigger at AoE when SW999's bounces start to go all over the place

This Anomaly Arbitration by far has been the most hostile against Rememberance, and with the Rememberance anti-shill not seeming to end any soon, I think Hoyo is starting to ask players to have 20 cost teams to beat Plight from now on. The next AA being >! Skaracabaz with Physical, Ice, Imaginary asking for AoE coverage with the spawning bugs !<, I think things might go a bit easier than last time, can't wait to try it out.
