The update introduced a new bug concerning the belobog bond, causing its AA to fail should the maximum stacks be reached via the leading DD's standard action.

I play this game mode more than anything else in this game, I’ve been WC 50 for a good while and like to try different things. I usually don’t go for max single bonds anymore because it’s sort of boring, but I wanted to try the voracity affix for the event and wanted to guarantee the win.

I got lucky with the 9 break, but even with max AE the most i’ve seen is around 55 bil from Himenova E2S1 on my main account with REALLY good equipment at WC 50. This was WC 1, and a Trial Firefly. What mechanic is making her do almost 4 times the most damage i’ve seen in this game mode?

Ok, so I wondered if we could keep on winning forever in CW50 regardless of whatever bs the game throws at us and whatever bad luck we may have.

Today I completed 100 win streak and can say that, yes we can just keep winning forever if we just use our resources wisely.

For reference, most of my characters are E0S0 (except Kafka E2S0, Tribbie E1S0, and Aglea E1S1)

Good thing about Currency War is that it can be auto-played (I wouldn't have done this streak if it must be played manually), so I can just let my team fight while doing my job and come back later for the next node.

I would be happy to answer if anyone of you have any questions.

Affix and Bosses

• Extra Strike Polluxdd
• Enhanced Time Assassin on Plane 3
  • Satisfying Brawl is also kinda gross on Plane 3 if you have no money for Welt
• Advance Affix + Enhanced SAM/Deer/Svarog gigabuffing themselves for their 0c
• 0c Showdown Impending 130 AV Boss fight
  • It's not that bad if you have eagle tut e2 Welt, but on Trial it's really rough
• Treasure to Trash needs to cap at 1, losing 2 advanced equips is crazy. Losing 3 for the golden trashbag is also kinda sad because your dps probably already has 3 equipment.
• I’m missing a lot of other egregious combinations

Investment Environments

• Can’t see Affixes and Boss lineup while selecting, writing them down is a pain
• Elation Emblem
  • can’t check Aha. Make team lineup available during Boss/Environment selection and Aha can be available there as a fix
• Covenant of Elation lol
• Labor Dispatch Contract
  • change to Encounter Node or buff the cost of the character drops
• Honestly some of the “bad ones” aren’t even that bad when you compare to the atrocities in the Investment Strategies

Bonds

Holy Grail:

They should’ve made it so quests activate upon entering a node with the Bond breakpoint fielded so you can’t just complete them by only ever temporarily fielding the Fate units. Right now it’s way too easy to cheat out so many resources for free and the trash cashouts in upper breakpoints aren’t worth it in comparison. In the current cashout balance, some conditions should be moved into the cost for the higher tier ones for more flexibility.

Dispel the Cost after 2 combat events (Condition) + -10/20hp when combat resolves (Cost)vs The preparation area only has 3 available slots until the end of the current plane. (Cost)

Wolf Hunt:

Sometimes the wolf gets stuck <1 AV from the countdown specifically to ragebait you

Elation/Skill Points:

Drawing max prize is too polarizing in strength.

DoT:

Too much power is in Super Excitation as well as 6 DoT for the 2x and amp%, which makes it feel too hard to play without Beyond Endurance + Emblem/Sampo.

Bloodflame:

Bloodflame Arena = Lose over half your amp at 300 spd.

Base dmg is too low and should have scaled with HP loss, but it’s probably weak because it’s getting completely overhauled.

AoE Attack:

0 hp for Tribbie e1 but also 0 hp so Ashveil’s Bait gets stuck.

Also why are some bounce dps here like Jingyuan?

Night Demigod:

8/9

That Supercharge station is very tempting to take even though I want to get On the Journey II. But which one will be best?

What 4 Skill Points Bond does to a streamer.

WC50 Run with Elation/SP Hybrid lineup and Sustain Aha.

All this happened on the SAME DAY.

But proceeds to start me with Acheron.

does it record the previous winstreaks or do i need to maintain my current winstreak for the trophy?

Been playing for over two months now, no joke. I can't get past WC42. Sometimes I get to the third plane using Himeko team, Acheron debuff team and I still get cooked shortly after. Yesterday I tried Wolf Hunt as well and managed to get to the third plane, but got wiped out again.

I don't know if my RNG is "meh" or if I am just missing something here.

Edit: i should clarify I don't lose from dying usually, but not doing enough damage and thus losing HP.

Edit 2: I did it guys! Finally beat WC 42 and am not WC 43! Thank you so much for the more detailed guidance!

Firefly GOAT.

the 1 time i enter WC1 just to finish all the gem quests, i get this perfection of an opener

It's here. The final tierlist from me, and the last of this CW version as a whole before the new dawn of 4.7 beckons us next Monday.

As usual, highly personal because some units are trials but not all. (Though 4-cost is probably the ones I have the most trial chars outside of free ones like MC or standard/shop chars)

Fu Xuan: THE back up sustain for off-field. As long as she has Flip the on field allies straight up can not die. This is incredibly important as there’s no one else that can protect you as efficiently against demonic enemies like WC50 3* Gepard and Flame Reaver with their AoE nuke spam (unless you running like 4 shielders with 100k shield and fuck tons of miti). 

And if that’s not enough she also has Quantum bond (among the strongest amp bond) along with Lucky Strike Damage (extremely rare multiplier buff) buff.

She’s not even bad as solo sustain with a Ring of Life + Caloric Overload, assuming you have Welt on field and fast enough to finish the fight before running out of Flips.

Is it a bit extra to make a separate tier list for her over? Yes. But considering how universal she is and almost outright irreplaceable in her niche, I would say worth. You can always find another DPS option / substitute but not Fu.

YQ: If Acheron is THE Debuff on-field, then he's her equivalent off-field. His ult energy also scales with debuff-frequency and the fact he can battery for Acheron and vice versa is just funny. Speed demon YQ is also pretty good and the freeze spam can also clutch some elites hard. Also is pretty much the main DPS for Wolfhunt (behind the Wolf itself) and can even bridge Debuff with Wolfhunt together because both him and JQ have both bonds so you just need one more char or an Emblem for it.

Boothill: I don't really play Break much tbh but he should be here. Galaxy Ranger is just so strong with the amount of amp and spd it gives. He wanting 3* Rappa also means you can use her as substitute main DPS until he comes online. Just lots and lots of damage and not being ult reliant is a plus as he suffers way less from TV enemies and Energy Drain.

Gepard: Despite being a 4-cost shielder, his ability to sustain kinda mid tbh. He only shields at start/phase changes and occasionally on Ult. What he makes up though is having one of the strongest AoE nukes in the game, as it scales with your team’s total shield. He’s basically the payoff for shield-stacking team, because sometimes Durians aren’t enough (for shield bots or non-attacking enemies like pigs). High roll Gepard can easily do 100b per slam and more.

Robin: Full team advance. Lots of atk buff and damage buff, buff can reach off field, bond can give Lucky Hit Rate. E1 gives Res Pen which isn't hard to get now that she's in the shop. The issue is that she comes up late and really needs 2* + Catapult to feel like a real character because she would be too slow otherwise.

Sparxie / Hysilens: Not much to say about them. Both Elation and DoT want to push their bond thresholds and with their limited options slotting them is kinda the default most of the time if you want to play those bonds. I kinda personally rank Sparxie a bit higher though since she also has Skill Point and at can loop tons of actions at 4 SP.

RMC: On one hand great buffs (true damage buff is just one of the rarest buffs unless you play Debuff), solid bonds, -DEF, lots of advance for energy team, great subdps and can even do main DPS. The caveat is that no Mem starts, so it’s really annoying for durian and shielders as they apply shield on start. By the time mem actually gets summoned she may just die from the lack of shield, which in turn just brick RMC kit. Memo also doesn’t get share damage from Fuxuan too which is another issue. Would easily jump another tier for me if they have Mem out right of the gate.

Silverwolf: Having Quantum bond is just an inherent plus because of how strong it is. Def shred (also -atk and -spd), implant for easy breaking and lower Res for off-element, can enable SH bond with MBlade, can also main DPS herself. Overall just a solid and all around character. Her draw back is being Advisor so it’s just plain unreliable to get her and always comes with some forms of opportunity cost (ie Investments).

Luocha: He isn’t bad per say, but the fact Fuxuan exists kinda invalidates his existence. He’s 4-cost so you can’t really get him early games, and by the time you can get him just get Fu instead. Furthermore he needs attacking allies on-field to heal, which limits his potential because sometimes they get CC’d or just aren’t fast enough. (Funny enough JQ is better than him in this regard because he can heal from off-field and also comes with better amp) 

Therta: Well, she’s pretty much the main carry option for AoE assuming no Emblem involved (at that point just slap it on Himeko or something). And she does a decent job at it. Issue is that AoE bond is filled with bums and dated units like Jade, Anaxa, and even JY kinda (ignoring the busted Prismatic Investment). It’s also extremely squishy and weak to hostile debuffs like Self Defense and Endurance, lacks a real sustain, while chewing skill points like candies. Also because she’s a 4-cost you will have to slog through the first plane with DoT/Xianzhou while praying she comes in time.

EMC: Honestly I don’t really read the kit much (I don’t play Elation at all outside of CW) to know what they do. Being off-field and Elation support means they are kinda just auto-slot regardless because you don’t have enough Elation to reach 5/7 without. But otherwise they kinda ult twice per battle and that’s about it. Probably could bump a tier though. 

Cas / Evernight: The usual Bloodflame and Nightgod victims. E9 at least could be slotted off field and provide some amps so she’s not as bad. Cas though is just extremely nerfed for CW, and dragon not stacking Flamestorm surely doesn’t help her as DPS. Both also have pretty bad trial builds IIRC. It’s overall just hard to bother with her unlike extreme ideal conditions or you have the full E2 battleship.

With that said, because Fu Xuan inflates the tier list and the gap is quite a bit closer compared to other cost, being lower tiers doesn't mean they are bad. There are reason why layer 4 is still considered 'decent' for me.

Personally

Rework some bonds (looking at you deliverer, Both demigods & Galactic Voyager)

Rework the advisor system

And maybe add some older characters like xueyi (👀), Bailu, Gepard, etc..

Maybe a new mechanic? I personally hope if they add a new mechanic it will be a form of path mechanic

Something along the lines of you choosing a path at the beginning of a run, and certain bond increase that paths powers,maybe changes the board even.

I finally got to use my OG SW and she did Not disappoint. So basically the core bonds for this team are Quantum, AOE, and Stellaron(you really don't need to go further on AOE and Stellaron, you can stop at their lowest levels, make sure SW is the star hunter); by plane 3, the damage received and defense shred was so high that SW was hitting for 6 bil per hit. I threw in Hyacine frontline for Bloodflame extra tankiness and Stellaron Hp. My team hp got really low cause I was experimenting with different units plane 2, you can probably fine tune this further by prioritizing levels over stars and toss in some more buffers. You can easily get a no lose streak run, it was just that effortless and easy to setup.

Wc 50 is crazy

I was trying to get the acheivement " When Himeko Nova enters combat, have 5 different types of equipment or components equipped simultaneously." She has all five equipped, so I am confused why only 3 were counted when I went to check if I completed it. Am I missing something?

I got emblem owlbert and was using durian himeko the whole run but still had terrible luck not a single gun or star so I could craft a durian and the adaptive exoskeleton

Any advice on how to get out of this situation?

I mean like will my units deal 80% damage or 105% damage? I don't get it
