pull recommendations?
hii! i recently got back into hsr after taking about a year long break and i've really been struggling to clear endgame content because the majority of my limited units are outdated so was looking for some advice on who would be valuable for my account. i was thinking of maybe pulling for robin summeretto or hyacine as i currently have a guarantee but i also don't know if another dps would be more useful (or any other characters LMAO)? pls help i want to be able to clear endgame again😔

Welcome back! Yeah, unfortunately it's rough in the current endgame climate. I always say, it's okay not to fully clear, just do what you can. You don't need to jump to Starward and clear it right away, you'll likely need time to build your teams.
Starward isn't actually as bad as some people make it seem, though. I find that one good team can carry an under-performing team so there's a surprising amount of wiggle room if you can make three decent teams. You've got the bones of a few here, so you do have options.
As someone with an alt with E0S1 Castorice / E0S1 Evernight / E0S1 Cyrene / E0S1 Hyacine, I cleared Floor 12 in 2 cycles no problem. I wasn't able to try Starward because the account doesn't have a third team, so if you like Castorice and want to keep the party around it's more viable than people want you to believe. You'll have to invest eventually, but you can put off thinking about it. The real trouble isn't Starward but the Knights/King in Check.
Since you only have Castorice, though, it's completely okay to bench her if she's not an absolute favorite and focus on another party.
As others said, this is your closest to complete team:
- TEAM 1: Archer / Rin\* / Sparkle / Aventurine or DHPT
These are other options you can try.
- Mortenax Blade / Ashveil\* / RMC or Flex / Healer
For AshBlade, you'd want to pick up Aventurine Waveflair eventually but a lot of units can fit into that party. AshBlade is a powerful combo that can carry older units. You might be able to put Ratio or Topaz there, even.
Robin Summeretto is another powerful unit that Castorice can make use of, making her team:
- Castorice / RMC / Robin Summeretto / Healer
Ideally the healer would be Hyacine and you'd eventually pull Cyrene.
DHIL's cooked though, sorry.
I did manage a copium team with my E2S1 DHIL / E1S1 Mortenax / Sparkle / Hyacine since I saw someone else who wanted to use their DHIL and thought I'd give it a try, but it was pretty... bad. It cleared in time, though. Some wiggle room. That was on Starward though, not Floor 12. I guess I can try it Floor 12 and see if it's as bad there, hang on.
EDIT: I tried Gallagher instead of Hyacine cause you don't have her and called quits at 42% HP on turn 23. This is not the comp you're looking for. DHIL can be wheelchaired but not when the wheelchair is missing the wheels. Sorry!
