I was seriously thinking that I just wouldn’t be getting this quest series anytime soon because my RNG kept giving me the same 4 or 5 dailies. I’ve been SAVED!!!
There’s no actual point to this post beyond me celebrating that the game finally took pity on me. Here’s proof to those of you who have been waiting as long as I have for the quests to drop for you.
I just wanted to share this because A) this subreddit is really kind to me and gives me a place to actually engage with the fandom, and B) it’s my first time managing to get everything done before a character releases! I would have done it for other characters, but I only started having consistent activity this spring (despite starting 2 days after release). I also tend to wait for male characters, so there wasn’t much opportunity for me to go all out like this.
I’m so, so excited for him. Really hoping I win my 50/50. Hope everyone else’s farming is going/has gone well!
I’m the kinda guy that only pulls characters I like in terms of personality rather than meta (and also I like men). So my only real “OP” DPS is Luuk (I have a couple others but they’re 1.X and struggle to keep up). So I’m really excited for Jingran.
I missed both Qiuyuan and Brant (partially due to inactivity) so I will be grabbing them whenever they rerun, but I have prefarmed everything for Jingran save for a couple weeks’ worth of skill boss mats.
I started playing WuWa 2 days after release but wasn’t active for much of 2025. It was a BIG adjustment coming back.
I’m just excited to have another guy character capable of keeping up with endgame content. Kuro did him dirty in terms of actual story relevance but I simply adore him. Lucilla is the only “new” character I’ve pulled since coming back (I pulled for Luuk and Jiyan’s S1s and Sigs, and I also have S1 Lucy (got her S1 thru the free reward thing though)). She’s homeless too because I don’t have Hiyuki LOL
It also means Brant and Lupa (who I both want) will have a DPS to buff instead of just being here because I like them.
Dunno the point of this post. Just feels nice to actually have the cards line up nicely for once.
Godspeed everyone, may we all survive this final week o7
Let me preface this by saying I pull for my favorite characters, not for meta teams. I’ve been playing since May 24, 2024, but I was inactive for a good chunk of 2025.
Here is the current state of my account.
I have only put about $60 into the game. $20 for a premium Pioneer Broadcast (I wanted the Exostrider sigil), $30 for 6 months’ worth of the daily login astrites, and $10 on one of the small bundles with a few weapon pulls.
I am a Rover main. When I was still F2P, I spent a lot of my pulls on acquiring an R5 Emerald of Genesis for him. I have builds for every element, and all of his Forte circuits are 10/10/10/10/10. Most of the builds are DPS based. Because of this, I’m still working on getting my other characters’ circuits opened up.
As for my other characters, here’s what’s going on:
• ALL 4-stars are S6; Sanhua, Mortefi, Aalto, and Baizhi are level 90 and have weapons/echoes, but still need work done on their Forte circuits. I plan to level all of them at some point but have not done it yet.
• Lv90 S0 Yinlin + Cosmic Ripples
• Lv90 S0 Xiangli Yao + Abyssal Surges (I do have Pulsation Bracer fully leveled and available now, but I do not know if it’s any good for him since its effects are proc’d by things from more recent teams)
• Lv90 S0 Verina + Call of the Abyss
• Lv90 S3 Calcharo + Radiance Cleaver (for crit; I do have Lustrous Razor I could give him once I get better echoes for him)
• Lv90 S1 Jiyan + Autumn Trace (currently pulling for his sig)
• Lv90 S1 Lucy + Phasic Homogenizer
• Lv90 S0 Lynae + Sig
• Lv90 S1 Luuk + Sig
• Lv90 S0 Mornye + Discord
• Lv90 S0 Lucilla + Sig
• Below level 90 are Rebecca, Jianxin, Encore, and Lingyang. I believe Jianxin is S1 and Encore is S2 or S3. Of these, Rebecca is the only one I currently plan to build.
My only established team is Luuk + Lynae + Mornye. Other than that I like to run Havoc Rover + Sanhua + Verina or Jiyan + Aalto/Mortefi + Verina.
The characters I currently plan on pulling for are Jingran, Brant, Lupa, and Qiuyuan.
I am not asking whether these characters/teams are viable. I already know that I will not be able to reliably clear endgame content (I can only ever get 18-19 stars in ToA and the first two rewards in WhiWa). I’m just asking what would be the best setups to maximize the benefits from my account.
Thanks so much in advance for anyone who takes the time to read/reply.
Hey y’all, this is my first post in this subreddit but I’ve known about my aphantasia for years. Long enough that I’m way past the point of being shocked by how differently I didn’t realize I’d been experiencing things.
I have what I assume is called “full” aphantasia. I have absolutely no images in my mind, not even colors. I can’t picture the color red, or the shape of a square. My memories are concepts, not images or “animations”. I do not know if this is a separate thing from aphantasia, but I also do not have the ability to imagine any kind of sound. My inner monologue doesn’t exist in the traditional sense. I think in words, but there is no inner voice and no visual representation of those words. As most people with aphantasia understand, it can make expressing myself and connecting with others quite difficult because it is harder for me to articulate my thoughts and emotions.
I’m also extremely creative. I love writing and have been told by my friends and family (who are all blessed with the ability to properly imagine things) that I capture emotion quite well and can paint a vivid scene. I also enjoy drawing but it can be extremely difficult for me because I cannot visualize scale or perspective.
Unrelated to this post, but my father (who can visualize very vividly) has hypothesized that the reason his words are less vivid than mine is because he (and presumably others without aphantasia) can glean the sensory information from fewer words, whereas I feel the need to be incredibly specific to ensure that my exact thoughts are being communicated. Just something fun to think about.
Anyway—my point with all that is that I use my brain for a lot of things, just differently than most. However, one thing I haven’t been able to overcome is the issue with memorizing formulas academically. I’m not like, genius level smart, but I have a decent GPA and am on track to obtain my Bachelor’s of Arts in Biology. Additionally, I’ve always enjoyed math, especially algebra because my brain enjoys things that are consistent and can make sense if I can put the pieces together.
However.
I have attempted to take calculus (or pre-calculus) and simply cannot. My brain cannot retain all of the formulas; I can understand and apply said formulas if I have them on hand, but I can’t say “the formula for x thing is this” if randomly asked on an exam. I had to drop calculus because of it. It’s incredibly frustrating because I can properly apply the formula if it is provided but when I tried to recall them during one of my exams, all I could remember was the lecture wherein we talked about the formulas. I didn’t remember the formulas themselves.
And I’m running into that issue occasionally with biology, especially with things like ecology where there are a lot of formulas for predicting population fluctuations. I’m not really looking for solutions, I just want to know—does anyone else experience this? I don’t know many people with aphantasia and the ones I do know only have partial aphantasia and still retain an inner monologue. So I was just curious if anyone else whose mind is as barren as mine has the same issues.
