would we say it's worth going for e6 cyrene for Mydei? currently have her e2s1. I also have e1 tribbie/e1 cerydra, e1 hyacine, and e6s1 mydei.

i already copped mblade e2, unsure if i feel like going for himenova at all, but i do have ashveil for the mblade. but i dont have a whole lot saved, just stuff i haven't done yet like unknowable domain, swarm disaster, g&g, and like... all story 4.0 onwards. is it worth trying to go for an e6 cyrene if i cant guarantee i can get anything past like e4? at least, generally speaking, i know this'll depend on my account and pull plans to some extent, but if any more cyrene cons will benefit my mydei team i'm for sure interested

i've officially lost 40 pounds over the course of around six months now. on 12/20 i was 210, now i'm down to 170 :-)

for reference, i'm 5'4", and have been strength training, loosely tracking cals, and doing my best to squeeze in more general activity. i started lifting 3x a week because i heard that it would help more with my pcos than pure cardio would, but i genuinely looked forward to doing it so much that i ended up switching to 5x a week, tho i dont have easy access to a gym so i set up my own at home-- started with dumbbells only but acquired some budget equipment like a bench and barbell, plates, and a cable machine, everything i want to do i can rig with all of those.

ive been a picky eater all my life, genuinely had to be on supplements as a kid bc diagnosed autism and i straight up would not eat a lot of things. and i really like to eat my favorite foods which arent the healthiest generally, so food was a challenge. especially because i have a heavy focus on protein (more filling, less food noise) and stuff like greek yogurt or anything else both super high protein and super low calories i just cant tolerate. but i've worked around this by bumping up activity where i can (definitely not 10k steps a day yet but usually 30-45 minutes of walking interspersed throughout my day) and making substitutes with things i cant tell the difference of, like fairlife milk instead of normal milk or lower calorie versions of sauces, diet sodas (diet baja blast legit tastes the same, same with sunkist orange), etc., and eating meats (steak sometimes, or meals with chicken or lean ground beef) a lot. outside of that ive still managed to make room for what i like to eat, esp. since i focus on weekly calories more than daily calories, so while i could be more aggressive on the day to day, i can have a few days of eating heavier things i look forward to.

obviously protein shakes are a big help, because protein + filling but most of them taste like straight doo doo butt and the oens that dont are expensive, so i just make my own.
go to is 3 scoops of protein powder (i use premier, its eh but its what i have), 1 cup milk, 4 ice cubes, 1-2 tsp of peanut butter, and a scoop of breyers carb smart mint fudge cookie ice cream. comes out to 60g protein and 400 calories and tastes so fucking good like for real real no clickbait. i had a big greasy thousand calorie mcdonalds meal today and hit 130g protein with 1400 calories while still eating "fun" things lol. not that i endorse daily mcdonalds for general health reasons but i like to treat myself

i still have more to go, but i've been feeling better than ever. i used to hate the thought of having to significantly change my life and always had the mindset that i probably wouldnt stick to it anyway, or that nothing would change because nothing ever happens, but i managed it anyway and slid in enough of this over time to come this far without having to make myself unhappy and give up things i enjoy. feeling great today and i hope any of this can help or motivate someone else :-)

Anyone know the priorities for investing further in an already stacked Mydei team?

Currently I have:
- E6S1 Mydei
- E2S1 Cyrene
- E1S1 Hyacine
- Flex slot between E1(DDD) Tribbie, E6S5 Herta cone RMC, and E1(DDD) Cerydra.

What would the next priorities be? I'd assume not Hyacine because she's kind of just there to be a Cyrene battery (unless E2 + high speed Cyrene means I could squeeze more effectiveness out of someone else, but feven aster charging is king, no?). Cyrene E6 might be worth for the AA and maybe more damage out of her but in a Mydei team comp idrk how much she can do, esp. w/ being on 2pc/2pc/vonwacq. What priorities would more eidolons/sig copies be? Is S5 particularly worth? I might want to keep further cone copies that seem immediately useful like Hyacine or Cyrene's but I wouldn't lose sleep over S5ing Mydei's LC.

I know this is already like 17 cost and clears everything (I sure hope it would) but I'm just greedy and always looking for ways to improve this team.

UID is 602577734 for anyone wanting to try E6dei, my Cyrene, or Phainon (who is also E2S1)!
