Man things get extremely grindy after 40. Fair warning to everyone, this is pretty ridiculous. The drop rate doesnt increase by a huge amount from EL2->3 but you need so much of them. I guess I'll need to burn a lot of my fuel because I don't see how else I'm supposed to deal, the trace materials are such a bitch. On the plus side, I'm starting to get 5* relics for other slots.

I've got one day to clear the higher SU levels and some more mirror to try and get Seele, wish me luck

There's a small tutorial area, one full major area, and a second area that's incomplete - maybe half as big as the first at the moment.

So far the Herta stuff has been easy to auto outside of the bosses.

Honestly I appreciate so much that you're being given legit content you have to pay attention to right off the bat. When I was playing Tales of Crestoria is took dozens of hours before you ever got to anything that wasn't a guaranteed win without auto battle, even in raid content.

Got Welt for my guaranteed Starter 5*. Wasn't high on my list, but at least he fills out a missing type!

I heard that you're guaranteed at least one 5* in a repeating cycle of 70 normal ticket pulls, is that correct?

It's closer to 80 pulls but yes. Basically, at 74 your chance to get a 5* increases dramatically until 90 pulls where you are guaranteed, but it almost always hits by the low 80s.

Btw this also applies to the limited character banners, and when the banner changes it remembers what pull number you're on (as well as the 50/50), so it's never worth spending your gems on the normal banner.

Mihoyo's games are definitely for the bisexuals, sure you can save gems by speccing into one gender but they're known to throw out overpowered husbandos on occasion and there's always grumbling from the waifu pullers (and vice versa of course).

If you're still pulling on the special banner it's because it's like a 5% chance to get a character that isn't one of the featured 3. But if that's also true for your standard pulls, that's pretty bad luck.

Serval is pretty good in the simulated universe as an aoe damage dealer if you don't have a 5* one, lots of stuff weak to lightning in there.

Gepard/fMC/Bronya/Yanqing, Bronya at 50 and the rest at 60, traces shoddily upgraded.

Barely beat SU6 with Preservation build plus the one blessing that lets Ultimates implant Ice weak. There were some untimely deaths, I think Gepard and fMC had to do the last 24% themselves. The Preservation thing can do a TON of damage.

I ended up beating that one with Himeko/Welt/FMC/Natasha, using the Abundance blessing. Welt is huge there because the boss's big add is weak to Imaginary, but also one of the Abundance paths clears debuffs and gives a debuff shield which is absolutely massive. I got some of the blessings that buff your team on heal, and I didn't really miss the damage nuke the other paths give.

Also did the second difficulty of SU3. For that one I had PMC and Gepard instead of Himeko but the main thing there is that I chose Rememberance and got two path blessings, one that removed resistance and one that extends the debuffs. Had a lot of permafreeze shenanigans and dots going on.

And so now I FINALLY pulled Seele although I had to go to pity twice. I'm gonna have to get real lucky if I want Silver Wolf but I'm not holding my breath.

What team are you using? Doing that one at EL2 is tricky but doable. It helps to have a support with a multi-hit that can really shred her resistances. I bet Sampo is really good here. A cleanser and/or some blessings that help with status also feel mandatory.

The closest I've been getting is Phys MC/Seele/Gepard/Tingyun and just spamming shields with the cleanse on shield blessing. I have Natasha but don't have her trait that gives the cleanse yet so I haven't been trying her...do you think she's essential? And who would i cut, Tingyun or seele? Seele is just raw damage but she helps when Tingyun and Gepard are doing so little, I don't think I'd survive with Natasha over her but also Tingyun is so important for keeping shields up with Gepard

If you aren't already doing so it's worth investing in Dan Heng, even if you already have Seele but especially if you don't. He's the best source of wind damage we're going to have for a while and really useful for SU4 and 5.

I was avoiding going back to level him because for some reason I thought that free unit you get from Rememberance Lv3 was Wind.

Alas. I started now, but I need level up materials! Plenty of ascension but bone dry on level ups. Gotta let those 60 points regenerate for the grind.

Nat is super good (though I'm biased since I have her at E6), and especially during that fight because her phys normals will chip away at the weakness bar too. I'd say she's essential right now if you don't have any other healers or cleansers since there's very few in the game. Honestly, cut Gepard, Nat's healing and defensive blessings should keep you alive. For wind weakness and single target DPS, Dan Heng has been carrying my ass, I'd say he's worth investing in if you have no other options and he maybe outperforms Seele if he has type advantage.

Since mirror needs two teams starting at 10 or 11 it's not really a waste of resources to invest in multiple units of the same role either. I've found splitting up Nat and Gepard is super good defensively.

I finally did it, I used my last echo of war to upgrade Natashas cleanse and used her over Tingyun and then went with the same preservation shielding strategy. The guaranteed cleanse was the difference maker I think because I was able to beat it with all units alive. Also when you're playing a shield team I think the blessing that makes it so damage is split among your whole team is absolutely essential. You basically just can't ever die because there's no way that she can do damage quick enough to actually kill anybody. Also my preservation ultimate was critting for 50k. lmao

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/2/7/AAUYpeAAEfET.jpg

This one was also essential just to have enough shielding. It basically makes you immortal after a point

So if I'm understanding the terminology correctly, you did 7 pulls and waited? Just making sure I have the specifics straight.

If you get a 5* within those 7 pulls I assume it resets the counter?

By default, you have a tiny chance to roll a 5*. The chance of getting a 5* starts to increase substantially at 75 pulls on a banner, and is guaranteed by 90. When you get your first 5*, it has a 50/50 chance to be the featured character, and the counter resets to zero. If you didn't get the featured character as your first 5*, you're guaranteed to get the featured character as your next 5*, which may be up to another 90 pulls. After you get the featured character, you return to the original state, where your next 5* has a 50/50 chance of being the featured character. The state carries over between featured-character banners.

I had pulled on Seele's banner 80 times with no 5*, and I have another single-target DPS, so I figured I should wait. Given that the chance of getting a 5* is so much higher at "80 pity", I pulled once (instead of doing a 10-pull) to avoid "overspending".

I think that's a fully accurate description, but let me know if that doesn't make sense.
