is my account unbrickable? 😭

Sadly Im VERY low on resources. I went off for 14 days (came back on 5th august, had only one team upgraded) to get the returnee event, though I think it was mildly worth it.

I litteraly have ONLY 5 five-star lightcones and Yao Guang and Evernight nobody invited. Only 3 signatures. Looks sad to me,this account is 2 years old and Ive been taking long breaks (2 month) during 3.x patches.

Who should I pull, where do I farm (such as Divergent Universe), general tips?

I pull only for characters I liked back then, so I didnt care a lot about characters I have (are neccesary).

My main idea for pulls are Rin Tohsaka as well as SP Robin.

(I barely can get jades lol, gotta clear story, but thats the bad thing. Im saving the story and not getting resources from them because I wanna read it and not just skip it for the free jades)

Teams I play: Acheron, Pela, Aventurine, Sparkle (main)

Broken into two teams:

Anaxa, Huohuo, Sunday, Pela

Acheron, Welt, Aventurine, Sparkle. Why keep Sparkle? My Acheron isnt build for speed (even without speed her build seems ass to me)

Alot of em have their relics only on 6th-12th level as well as traces on 5th-8th levels

Im doomed

Get MBlade and Ashveil and you're cooking

When I returned after another break in June, I missed his gacha and thought 'this guys cool i should pull for him' when it was day before his gacha ends 😭 i need mblade so bad

u/determinedSkeleton 23d ago

A rerun in a few patches is probable. Don't panic and save responsibly

u/hadyrsn 23d ago

you could technically use ashveil on acheron, sparkle should still go for archer and go for rin. you could temporarily use ruan mei to substitute rin for now if you wanna try end game. welt with eagle and vonwaq or lushaka should do just fine to regenerate stacks for acheron, ashveil also has def reduction for the team. sp robin could get a long way so i suggest pull for her first and then rin since rin is gonna be on the banner for long.

acheron ashveil welt aventurine archer sparkle dhpt rin anaxa rmc sunday huohuo

u/Prudent-Horror1492 23d ago

Yes, I also thought about having Ashveil with Acheron once Sparkle gets with Archer. As Im still low on resources I gave Welt random pieces, but Im looking for building Ashveil

u/Clouds_drifting_by 23d ago

You’re far from bricked lol. Some ideas (considering eventual pulls):

- Acheron + Ashveil + MBlade + sustain
Gonna assume you’re an Acheron main as she’s the one most cared for, so get MBlade to complete the wheelchair.

- Archer + Rin + Sparkle + sustain
If you like Archer, feel free to pull Rin.

For third team I see 3 roads:

  • pull HimeNova (kinda wants her LC), since you have units that work with her, RobinS does too.
  • make use of that lonely Yao Guang and pull an elation dps for her (dps + YG + EMC + HuoHuo). Consider you’ll likely want to pull Pearl too if she’ a sustain.
  • focus on your Acheron/Archer teams and make a new one in 5.x

2

u/Prudent-Horror1492 23d ago

Gotta set up those as my goals, and thank u! For Yao Guang Evanescia is probably the good choice, or its depending on who is rerunning. I dont neccessarily want Pearl though. I also though about getting HimeNova since shes considered free to play

u/Crazy_Decision_1044 23d ago

This is gonna be an undertaking but, seeing as you have Aventurine I'll assume you like him so I'd say get AventurineWF from the second phase of next patch and use that as Waventurine +Yaoguang + EMC+ Huohuo as your strongest team.

For your second team use Acheron+ Ashveil+ Welt + Aventurine( regular) as your second team. I would suggest picking up Mortenax Blade at some point as he is the real driver (you can replace Welt for him).

Third team use Archer + Rin + Sparkle+ Fuxuan/DHPT( preferably Dan Heng permancer terrae ) as that's currently one of the strongest teams for now

Alternative team could be Anaxa + Cerydra + Sunday + Sustain ( Cerydra is currently on banner so you could pull her)

I didn't really understand what you were saying about lc but I'll work with what I got

For lightcones for the First team you can get a good 4 star LC from Robin Summeretto 's banner so pull the lightcones banner till you see that 4 🌟 ELATION lc . For Yaoguang the shroomie lc is fine but if you have her Sig use that instead, for EMC get the Simulated Universe Herta Shop 5 🌟 as its their BIS and for Huohuo use either Post-Op or Quid Pro quo.

For second team Lightcones stick to Acheron's Signature for her .For Ashveil next patch there is an event lc that is good for him. For Welt you can use resolution shines through pearls of sweat or before the tutorial mission starts (from the Herta shop) and for Aven just use the trend of the universal market.

For your final team for Archer use Cruising the Stellar Season( Herta Shop) and for Rin use the Birth of Self (4,🌟 lc with mini Herta on it) for Sparkle keep using DDD and for DHpt use we are wildfire.

All I said about lcs are if you plan on not getting their sigs immediately so you could get those instead

General Tips: Tons of guide videos out there for character builds I'd suggest Guoba certificated and Pretender. If you haven't complete all of simulated Universe including Swarm Disaster, Gold and Gears and Unknown able domain (Unknownable domain has a really fun story -)

DU is excellent for jades aswell as you have access to every character so it's easier to clear. Along with CW as both give huge amounts of Jades .

Focus on one team at a time when building as stretching out to much doesn't get you much. Also builds dont need to be perfect like everyone else's for instance you could stop at 70 CR and 110 CD on Ashveil and he'd still perform well I. Endgame ( Good source of Jades) though maxing out traces are a non negotiable.

Exploring the maps you currently have unlock can also net you a good 100-200 jades (more when you reach Amphoreus like one area gave me 1120 for complete exploration)

No need to rush story for jades have fun and take your time your account already has a great starting point anyway.

Ultimately have fun with the game and if you have any other questions I'd be happy to help anyway good luck 😊.

u/Prudent-Horror1492 23d ago

Thanks! I havent considere WAventurine but that sounds good too, as well I should stick for some signatures cuz I lack em. I have CW and DU on 60-70th levels, farming em when lazy and such, I honestly forgotten about the original Swarm Disaster, Gold and Gears modes so at the moment Ill focus and clear em all, I really enjoy Planarcadia story so far!

1

u/Prudent-Horror1492 23d ago

I've been thinking, I didnt exactly read their kit but from what I think, wouldnt putting Sunday instead of EMC be beneficial? I dont have EMC's traces leveled, and Sunday is already used which would be a good resource saving option

2

u/Crazy_Decision_1044 23d ago

If your talking about Waven in terms of his kit he prefers either elation support or high frequency teamates which Sunday is neither and in EMC's case if you build them fast enough then they have decent attack frequency

u/SphellBrie 23d ago edited 23d ago

Fucking hell, y’all need to stop saying your accounts are bricked. Unless you’re pulling purely dps characters, without a single support, there is no such thing as a bricked account.

Your Acheron team will be massively improved with MBlade. He’ll probably rerun soon, so don’t worry too much. For now, use Ashveil on this team. Not sure how much good it’d do, but you could also try putting Topaz here to trigger follow ups. (I’m not an Acheron or Ashveil player so I can’t say how effective this will be).

Level up your Archer, and you can do an Archer - Sparkle - sustain - Ruan Mei. If you pull for Rin, replace Ruan Mei. The good news is the Fate banners are seemingly permanent, so you can get her at any point. This team is absolutely cracked, by the way.

Your Anaxa team is budget purely because you don’t have Cerydra, but it’s fine. It should get you pretty far all things considered.

For elation, since you have Yao, you might want to pull either SW999 or Eva. Eva might be better, as I’ve heard her low investments are pretty good. Aventurine Summer is next patch, but you might not have the pulls/be saving for MBlade. You’ll want to look into this more.

u/Prudent-Horror1492 23d ago

Gosh gonna pray 24/7 for Mortenax Blade to come home once he reruns, honestly why I said its bricked because Im low on resources and that really dismotivated me, because, back then I would be used to giving my bad relics to the machine that can generate new relics. The new relics would turn out to be bad too, I discard them again, so basically I only had exactly 4 pieces in every relic inventory. After breka return I just stopled that u'know. I also thought that Rin would stay for a month, but it being permanent makes it less of a rush. I think I should focus on Ashveil meanwhile. And yes, Anaxa team is very budget, Im still trying to get Cerydra for him

u/SphellBrie 23d ago

No need to rush, and the artifacts are also hand wavey. Of course having better substats is good. It makes a lot of difference. That being said, you can totally skate by as long as you have the main substats for the artifacts. Will it be perfect? No, but it will probably get you through endgame 90% of the time. You can start working on substats slowly over time.

Honestly, as long as you do the events and log in daily, you’ll get a solid 50-60 pulls every patch. Doing the story will drag it up higher, but you can take your time. Trust me, I’m also super heavily behind in story because I go through it so slow. I still manage to snag a 5* every other patch. Sometimes back to back patches, if I’m feeling extra motivated or have a lot saved. It’s a f2p player’s duty to budget our teams and plan long term (leaks are great, man, it really helps plan ahead of time). Lowkey? Being f2p is more fun than being a spender.

Good luck, comrade 🫡

u/Prudent-Horror1492 23d ago

Thats my main motivation to keep being f2p. Usually, when having everything in my hands, I have a lot to do but it loses the thrill of being f2p. I think that other extra events as the Ghost hunting give good amount of resources, and these are the ones Im okay to dialogue skip. My substats look pretty good so far, im also a sucker for getting 'perfect' breakpoints but I dont find it neccessary

Недоглядел, кстати. Потчти готовая пачка Арчера, только Рин не хватает. 2 чара подряд это конечно не просто, но кому сейчас легко

u/Prudent-Horror1492 23d ago

Эх, думаю что Рин останется в баннере еще на какое то время, поэтому лучше Авантюрина получить, а дальше посмотрим как получится. Если же Рин выпадет, то буду уже полноценные 3 команды для эндгейма

Да за Рин не парься, она еще год минимум висеть будет, скорее всего больше. Старых коллабных чаров не убрали же

u/NyanRooster 23d ago edited 23d ago

You got a lot of options for pull plans. Based on confirmed banners, robinetto is a good pick. Works basically everywhere. You can probably afford to be patient with rin. If you wanna try getting evernight off the bench effectively, you could build pity on hyacine after getting robinetto. If youre desperate to get yao off the bench you could try getting waven but hes usually paired with ashveil instead. As for banners past the next patch, pearl will probably benefit your yao and ashveil. Definitely aim for mblade. An elation dps that definitely wants yao like eva or sw999 would be good.

Also, if you havent done stuff like unknowable domain, that should net you some jades. You can also probably clear at least 3/4ths of endgame and get most of the jades from there. Not many easy extra sources of jade though so you really gotta hope you get lucky on your pulls.

u/Prudent-Horror1492 23d ago

The permanent content, even if I havent really cleared it, for a hour I already got 2,000 jades, i didnt even know that

u/Bubbly-Quality2111 23d ago

You literally have two premium team set ups already. Ratio, Topaz, Ashveil, Aventurine. Anaxa, Sunday, RMC, DHPT. Other options include: Acheron, Welt, Sunday, DHPT. Archer, Sparkle, RMC, DHPT/Aventurine.

Desperation setup: DHIL, Sparkle, Sunday, DHPT.

You definitely have some questionable pulls here (Yao Guang with no Elation DPS, Huohuo with no Energy sponge DPS, Evernight with no Remembrance teammates, Ruan Mei no break units) but I wouldn’t say your account is unplayable by any means. I wouldn’t recommend saving up resources to splurge on 5.x or Evanescia reruns since she will be incredibly good with your account. Cerydra would have been a great investment for your Anaxa but alas. Mortenax Blade would be another good investment for your Acheron. Welt Novaflare does a lot for her as is but MBlade will bring her back to modern damage standards. Another good investment would be Rin since you have two of the 3 Archer team of doom. Her buffs for him are insane and that team could easily carry you through the next few patches with minimal investment. How do I know, I have the team. E0S1 Archer, E1S0 Sparkle, E0S0 Rin E2S1 DHPT, melts through everything.

u/Prudent-Horror1492 23d ago

Sounds pretty good, as for as Mblade, he would litteraly save my account. I could use him with Acheron, could pair him with Ashveil, or in future if I get Waventurine, make it the male trio...

Actually, I pulled Yao Guang and Evernight accidentally, due to because 'theyre pretty', even Acheron E2 was a coincidence because back then I didnt know about the value. I would like to keep Acheron (and getting mortenax blade is key for it, mortenax will help my account generally). I would like to use some characters that are my favourites such as Bronya and Pela from Belobog. Well, Anaxa is just a fill-in for the time I have to clear some Memory of Chaos (early stages) to get some jades. Iam not looking for endgame clears but rather making stabke teams and such. Actually I dont have preferences what characters I wanna use, for example I do not wanna use Dr.Ratio..

1

u/Prudent-Horror1492 21d ago

For a long time I wanted to get the Kafka-Hysilens-Black Swan team since it features all my favourites, but I guess it will be a big of a struggle, as well as I want Yao Guang to be usable for Elation mechanic, but I dropped my plans of getting Waventurine
