Help with Hex team rotation

Hey y'all. So I remembered that I have Mualani sitting in my account together with C1 Mona, so I decided to start using her again because I like her a lot. I don't have mavuika, so I'm using PMC with mona and sucrose. The thing is, the rotations are so clunky to me, and I can't get it to feel easy to do. I was using the celestial hex set that gives elemental dmg on Mona but saw the instructor is easier to play with on some showcases. Def pulling for Mavuika on her rerun to replace PMC.

For the rotation, I go something like this:

PMC Q, Mona Q N3, Sucrose E, PMC e, Mualani E N1 Q N1. Mualani is c0r1, Mona is c1 on instructor, c6 PMC scrolls, and c3 sucrose on VV. (For clarification, the N1 on Mualani is her big DMG attack.)

With the celestial set, my highest dmg was around 780k, I believe, while on instructor, it was 100k less. I feel like all the buffs are very short, so I'm short on time. VV and the instructor buffs are only 8 seconds, so I feel like I'm butchering the rotations and messing up frequently. Feel free to let me know what I am doing wrong, what I can improve, and if I should switch back on the celestial set.

(Fingers crossed she gets added in the "to temper thyself and journey far.")

Perfect run ruined by high-speed Graphia...

https://preview.redd.it/t7rnh1utz7gh1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=3fa1c902b528185bb2e4e703e4981c37dd34a9dd

Everything was going good until the last boss. Idk how Graphia was so fast to the point she acted like 6 times in a row, couldn't attack her at all and unfortunately got a B rating. From 100 squad HP to 34... 60% speed is really something. This was at WC46; now I'm at WC47.

First time getting this prismatic strategy and could've had better builds, but it was hilarious seeing the mini Hertas spinning infinitely. Definitely recommend anyone to try it if you happen to get it

I made a signature disk drive set for Hugo. I would like to hear your thoughts about it!

Hey y'all! Since Hugo doesn't have a true dedicated signature Drive Disc set yet, I wanted to share a concept I came up with. Let me know if you would change anything. The wording might be clunky but I didn't know how else to write it :)

Name: Conspirator’s Requiem

Design Intent

This Drive Disc set is designed to make Hugo feel like a true stun window DPS. The goal is to give him a fun payoff for setting up a perfect rotation with his team. Instead of just giving him a boring, flat stat buff, this set lets Hugo build up power from his teammates before delivering a massive blow.

Drive Disc Effects

  • 2-Piece Effect: Ice DMG +16%.
  • 4-Piece Effect: While an enemy is in the Stunned state, when Hugo Vlad or an ally damages the target, Hugo gains 1 stack of Phantom Feast (max 3 stacks, 1 stack per unique ally). Each stack increases ATK by 8%. All Phantom Feast Stacks are removed when the enemy recovers from the stunned state. While Hugo is at maximum Phantom Feast stacks, hitting an enemy with an Ultimate or EX Special Attack applies Condemned to the target for 6 seconds. Enemies affected by Condemned take 20% increased Totalize DMG from Hugo Vlad. Repeated applications refresh the duration.

Core Gameplay identity

The thematic idea is simple: the team prepares the stage, and Hugo "executes." 

  • Stun the enemy.
  • Build Phantom Feast stacks through team coordination.
  • Reach maximum stacks.
  • Apply Condemned.
  • “Execute” the enemy.

The Damage Multiplier. Because Condemned makes enemies take more damage, it acts as a completely separate multiplier. It won't get diluted by other ATK or elemental buffs, giving a true 20% damage spike. I kept it at 20% so it doesn't completely overpower him, especially since high-investment Hugos already hit hard.

Future “Totalize” Character Considerations

To stop this set from becoming broken in the future for other characters, the debuff is strictly tied to him, as I mentioned it already: “Enemies affected by Condemned take increased Totalize DMG from Hugo Vlad." This guarantees the Drive Disc remains his personal, signature set.

Note: The Condemned effect applies to the enemy as soon as Hugo uses his EX Special Attack or Ultimate. I made it refresh the effect because I wouldn't want M2 hugo havers to feel like they are short on time since they can trigger totalize multiple times. This is my first-ever concept design for a signature set, so I hope the opinions/critics aren't that harsh.

How bad is m0w1 Hugo currently?

Hey yall. Im sure yall have seen a lot more people here since he is given out for free. Initially i didnt like hugo, thought he this some edgy guy and paid no attention to him, until i played him in one of the events. Since then, i began to like his playstyle and him in general but i never got a chance to pull him since i needed other characters, but i digress.

I have 2 rupture units (yixuan m0w1 and yidhari m0w0 and lucia m0w0). Would it be very unwise/stupid to skip m1w1 lucia for hugo? If im gonna skip him, i plan on saving until his next banner which will probably gonna take a while, and then i can m2w1 him. But i will have to save a lot more polychromes for that rather than grabbing him now and skip lucia's broken m1 and w1

Sorry if i went off topic a bit but i couldnt find anyone explaining his current state in the game so i wanted to ask here. Everyone is saying he is bricked, useless etc. but people still clear endgame with him at m0. Oh and for stunners i have m0w1 norma, m1w5 (A rank engine) lycaon, and getting dialyn in the next patch. Let me know your thoughts!

What artifact set do I use with the CMC?

I'm planning on using mizuki, odette, CMC, and sucrose, and I'm not sure what set to use on CMC. The driver/support set doesn't stack, and i will be using it on odette. Noblesse oblige on traveler for some atk%?

Need some advice about pulling for Odette

I saw that Odette is a sub-DPS that allows triggering Stellar Swirl and Stellar Conduct, but I'm not sure how important she is/will be for future units, so idk if I should pull for Odette or skip her. I'm planning to get Valeriy, but i heard that Vodyanitsa might be Skirk's 4th best in-slot hydro unit, which i would like to get so i can upgrade my Skirk's team, as she is one of my favorites.
