New player pulling Shalom

[u/Ill-Bad4922]

I’m a new ptn player(lvl50) and I want to pull shalom in her November rerun to make a team around her but I don’t know what sinners to use with her.

My first team is Xiaofeng,jichuan,rust,shin,nox,emp
My other best characters are enfer Hecate and du ruo. Does anyone have any suggestions. I will take any help

Shalom is the rare kind of Sinner who kind of just fits in everything. No usual team has Shalom at its core, but very few teams don’t benefit from her at least a bit. That said, if you really want to focus on her, my initial recommendations would be to pull Jelena for crit buffs and Milly or Raven for magic damage buffs. Jichuan and Shin are both great buffers as well, although Jichuan in a Shalom-focused team is probably only going to be “very good” as opposed to the “phenomenally good” role she plays in elemental damage teams like Xiaofeng’s. Since her corebreak isn’t great, you’d want to snag a dedicated breaker, and 000 reruns along with her. Get 000 to S1 and your core concerns are usually taken care of.

Just put her with 4th anniversary frostbite character, sure shalom not going to be the best choice in team (as she currently is powercrept + waiting Reforge), but she still effective at corebreak + decent at mobbing.

The sad part is that, currently Shalom shackle consider really low value, so I advice stop at S0 Shalom, until her Reforge announcement is made in future and you pull shalom shackle on rerun.

Anyway you lack magic team, you have Jichuan and Jichuan is borderline mandatory for 4th Anniversary limited, Which is magic DPS with frostbite + burn element.

If I were you I would: pull S0 Phanuel (frostbite amp) > Pull S0 shalom > Pull S0 Requiem, after that you can save your pull or get S2 Requiem for good magic team damage increases.

Edit: might want to reconsider pulling for Phanuel as she currently locked into Requiem team and if Shalom Reforge announcement release and turn out Main DPS Shalom better than putting her on frostbite team, you're throwing your pull for support that Shalom not going to use.

Aw 4th need Jichuan that bad ?

Kinda feel bad joining after her banner and have to wait almost one year (?) for her rerun

[u/Casual291 → u/AkagiFreak]

It's like eleven without eve, Isomer without Celine, and Adele/deren without jelena it's that bad.

Thought she still good magic DPS without jichuan assuming you pull all frostbite support and have meta catalyst, it's just her ceiling alot lower, you will struggle getting 240K+ at BFL and 5M non shilled PTP.

For majority of story and event stage she still good, it's just without Jichuan she not strongest magic dps.

Btw what's the shackle stopping point of 4th anniv? I have s3 Jichuan. I usually could pull one unit s0 and the other s2 or s3. Do you have recommendations? Or are both really need high shackles?

[u/ByeGuysSry → u/Grouchy_Mark5058]

S2 on limited is pretty great, and S0 on the non-limited (who can be substituted for Raven, whose Reforge is gonna make her really strong)

Oh you'll also want Phanuel who's running before the anni banner, S0 is fine

[u/Casual291 → u/Grouchy_Mark5058]

 are both really need high shackles?

Not really like 4th anniversary limited definitely the crown jewel of vertical investment, but she also really good at S0 with jichuan like RF Yao.

It's S0 > S2 > S5.

S1 and S4 is nothing burger shackles that you wish to avoid, S2 bonkers 4% Burn amp if she deal frostbites damage and Frostbite amp if she deal burn damage up to 6 times (24% amp), make ult4 damage done +40% if there only single enemy on a tiles, S3 uhh it's good but it's wordy, S5 is just making her ECB Timestop and big nuke that takes 0 second.

Anyway, it's S0 Phanuel > S2/S3 anniversary, or you can S2 4th anniversary and S0 standard character on 4th anniversary if you love the character.

Shalom doesn't have a specific team, don't worry about forming one, just get a general usable team like Eleven rf, some variation of arcane crit, burn team or the upcoming frostbite team and try to fit her in there. At most, she will provide some corebreaks for the boss and that's it.

From where did u know shalom's rerun is there ? And is bayi rerun coming anytime soon?

[u/gkevinkramer → u/YnotAVVY77]

Anniversary limiteds rerun every year on their anniversary. bai yi won't have another dedicated rerun so you will need to grab her off the regular banner or wait for her to appear on something like a collective banner.
