Notes:

• M4W2 Pyrois + M0W1 Norma (Hellfire Gears, not Chief's Sidekick) + M6W1 Nicole
• I would have used Nicole's Ultimate the first time she's brought in if the option was available, but that's not the case for Notorious Hunt. This would have made it so the first stun window Chain Attack would have hit even harder and saved a split second on using Nicole's last EX Special (because I would have the Energy for it already).
• Ideally, I would have brought the Daze closer to 100% before going for Pyrois' Upper Branch, so to get more of the Heavy Attack damage inside the stun window. In fact, I did so in tests, but it made the first Heavy Attack hit so hard that I killed the boss before I had the chance of finishing with the Right Branch (in other words, it made for a bad showcase).

With those considerations in mind, how did I perform, and what would you do differently?

New player here (less than one month in).

So... Pyrois is amazing.

Great damage potential, completely free, can be used alongside Nicole with both activating each other's additional ability (since I somehow got her to M6, might as well use it).

But now comes the tricky part: Who should I slot in to give poor little Anby some rest?

(I mean, does she even get any significantly good with Mindscapes like her sister or nah? And even if she does, I'm not supposed to rely on getting Mindscapes of A-ranks on the short term, am I?)

Is Norma worth? Or is Sunna a better option?

Or should I wait for a Ju Fufu rerun ("Exclusive Rescreening" thing AND a possible Potential Vision drop)? Dyalin rerun? Astra Yao rerun (she already appeared three times, so I doubt it will happen again any time soon)?

I'm completely lost here. Send help.

P.S: The images... Totally flexing my luck.

Orphie came in with 15 pulls, then Velina 38, Ye Shunguang 72. I still have like... 8k Polychrome and I have barely touched most of the permanent content.

I just wish I had started playing a little bit earlier to go for Promeia instead of Orphie and maybe even earlier so I would have gotten Zhao for free.

(On that matter, what am I supposed to do to cover the suspiciously-rabbit-shaped gap on Shungus' team? Is Zhao the only real good free support and ZZZ's 2nd fox lady is done for without 2 premium pulls, which I assume, for the sake of my sanity, don't include Zhao?)
