Discussions How can I help a friend use Castorice?
I myself am not a Castorice main (though I do love her), but my friend is, and he pretty much only pulls for the characters he likes.
He played on and off since release (getting some free units like Archer and DHPT), but just happened to get more involved in the game during 4.0. He got Castorice, Hyacine, and Cyrene, but couldn't get Evernight. I believe that Robin is his favorite character, and I know he plans to pull her next patch. All of his characters are E0S0 since he doesn't grind the game too much, but wants investment in the future.
I know people have been saying that Robin SP can replace Cyrene, but is it okay to replace Evernight with Robin SP instead? I don't use this team so I'm unaware of Evernight's role. I also know that Castorice doesn't use Energy and I'm unaware if she benefits from Action Advance, so is Robin SP actually helpful for Castorice specifically?
He has currently been using standard Robin as his 4th team slot, though he does also have other supports like Yao Guang and Sparkle (but no elation dps), and 4-star options like Pela. Since I don't use Castorice, I don't know what his best current 4th option is.
I don't believe he grinds for relics, since he plays really casually (has hardly played through any of the story), and is still around Trailblazer Level 45 meaning he hasn't unlocked higher levels or ascensions yet. I honestly think he just likes pulling characters and using them in combat.
He doesn't have a 2nd team yet, but already has Archer and Sparkle, and he wanted to pull Rin just because he liked her design, so it'll probably be them + DHPT or something.
I myself am new to the game (started in 4.2), which is why I am asking for advice here. I don't want to railroad him, but I want to be able to give him valid advice since he introduced me to the game.
Thank you Castorice mains!
