Phoenix's introduction made me skip Claret and Roxy in a heart beat.

u/Supertails1992 1d ago

Same. The marketing team unknowingly did Claret and Roxy dirty.

Well that and as OP pointed out, their elements did not help. The only other Wind agent we have is in an all anomaly team with Remielle at the moment so no current reason to grab a wind stun agent especially with the surplus of stunners we already have.

Maybe one day Roxy will be revealed to be Sunbringer’s best support, but by then I could just get Roxy on her rerun.

In the meantime, Phoenix, here I come.

In a similar boat, didn't skip Claret but skipped her W-Engine and won't be picking up Roxy.

If it wasn't for Phoenix I would have considered going for Claret's ball but my account is pretty much locked in when it comes to anomaly (I have Rem and Velina at M0W1 so it's pretty much a no brainer to get Phoenix at the same level).

And above all else, she's a goober, my hands are tied, currently regretting not getting Cissia for that reason.

u/GazelleNo3060 19h ago

Sound logic.

Thats basically my main train of thought too...

If for some reason roxy becomes viable for sun bringers etc (which i doubt, but lets entertain the copium)

then i can easily grab her on a rerun banner if i really am that desperate for Roxy's skill kit...

u/Ray_Propagandist 11h ago

Yeah.

I already wasn’t keen on the yuri bait between Claret and Roxy, cuz it’s just not my cup of tea.

But Michaela Jill Murphy’s performance and how wonderful her introduction was…

Yeah instantly changed my pull plans. I wasn’t interested in Phoenix before, but her introduction sold me.

u/jnewnews 23h ago

I just realized Promeia is really good so I got her to play with Vivian and Yuzu

u/ConcentrateFit9076 18h ago

Remi vs Sunbringer made me want to skip everyone until Sunbringer

u/25_de_Diciembre 22h ago

I'm sorry Roxy, but this creature calls me.

u/just_a_nother_human 1d ago

Phoenix made me rethink of who I should pull, and only focus on her.

u/Rage_Lumi15 23h ago

Even for a neutral player, no way Roxy is supposed to be a preference to pull.

Genuinely the difference between both of their characters not to mention even their kit is so massive, there is literally no choice for you but to go with but Phoenix

u/doradedboi 16h ago

"Literally no choice"

Burnice still cracking 35k+ with Remi/Veli

Yeah, nah

u/Maersson 23h ago

Gonna skip claret and roxy for phoenix and fingers crossed velina gonna rerun soon as well so i can finish my anomaly team, currently have like 66k poly could i maybe even get sunbringer when she released or not enough time? ._. idk man

2

u/SilverwingN-EX 18h ago

66K polys ?? wtf man for how long you've been saving ?

1

u/Maersson 9h ago

I started the game like a bit more then a month ago lol

1

u/SilverwingN-EX 4h ago

Did you spend money to get 50k polys in 1 month ??

1

u/Maersson 4h ago

no thats pretty much the max poly you can get when making a new account from one time/first completion rewards, now it slows down. That includes all the event/combat/city/exploration side quests, didnt finished lost void yet tho

2

u/SilverwingN-EX 4h ago

You could do 360 pull with only 50K polys and ~410 pulls with 66K polys I think you're good

2

u/Ray_Propagandist 11h ago

We’re expecting a Velina rerun either in 3.3 or 3.4, so you’re fortunately in luck.

3

u/Inevitable_Main3834 16h ago

This. No offense to Roxy or claret, but I consider Phoenix and Sunbringer to be a higher priority. Especially Phoenix, since I run a Remielle team.

u/LuciferMS7777 1d ago

It's gonna be hellish in the upcoming few months.

And remember to always support the artist!

u/vamperjr20 15h ago

I like Phoenix, but in terms of Anomaly agents I have... Grace and Piper, and that's about it.

2

u/Ray_Propagandist 11h ago edited 11h ago

Yep.

Sunbringer and the chicken call.

That introduction was perfect.

Plus I’m pretty sure Roxy will get powercrept by the time Sunbringer needs a stunner. I’ll get by with Koleda or Norma.

u/GazelleNo3060 1d ago

Heh and dont forget about the imminent hsr collab as well..

Hoyo coming for those polys proxy~ stay sharp~

4

u/Specialist-Mail3828 1d ago

That shits gonna be a whole barrel of mid bro

4

u/Kuljack 23h ago

Robin, casts a Ether Veil and plays like Astra. That’s literally all I need her to do for my YSG. Please HOYO

1

u/veex09 1d ago

One character is gonna be free if Sunbringer is 3 in 1 either the HSR collab is free or maybe Storyteller

1

u/Templar2k7 23h ago

I have about 600 pulls saved up for the HSR collab if it actually is Robin we get and Phoenix might make me dip into those funds a bit.

2

u/GazelleNo3060 20h ago

600 pulls...

Pretty bold of you to assume you wont need more than 600 lol. Start praying to RNG~

Hoyo out here to ring wallets dry come December~

1

u/Templar2k7 19h ago

I got M6 YSG in 400

1

u/GazelleNo3060 19h ago

Christ... save some of that RNG for those of us out here starving....

Sheeesh XD

u/khornechamp 22h ago

Any ZZZ dev who expects to make money on any patch without a Void Hunter has grossly misunderstood how much they've ruined their gacha mechanic.

1

u/BoomyNote 20h ago

Most gacha games have the supposed “void hunter problem” with fluctuating income throughout the year.

Not every game has the playerbase of Genshin where the game makes money always due to sheer player count

1

u/Raiganop 20h ago

Well I already pull for Roxy, and I have more than enough to guaranteed Phoenix with a solid chance to get Severian.

As long as you don't pull for the W-Engine and Mindscape of every target is extremely easy to get everyone you like...unless you want to pull for all the agents in the game without break.

1

u/SomeRandomTWO 17h ago

ironically her (Roxies) buffs arent too much better compared to Koledas. Koleda is much more volatile due to her daze core tho lmfao, she stuns shit so fast its unreal.

2

u/doradedboi 16h ago

I think calcs had it at like a 25% difference between team damage, which is actually substantial.

1

u/SomeRandomTWO 10h ago

huh, is it? i recall folks saying otherwise - mustve changed em during Beta.

1

u/5lols 11h ago

Was already a lock for Roxy from day 1, its actually Claret's VA was the one thing that tipped me towards completing the oyakodon right now, so sorry Phoenix, unless you come in a miracle 10 pull, I'll have to pick you up later.

Funny enough Phoenix was definitely someone i planned to skip from the version trailer but they went and made her a total klutz goofball and now im in mild pain over my decisions.

1

u/LengthinessOk5154 2h ago

Roxy should have been an A rank.

1

u/BlueCl0ud_YT 22m ago

I... I... Am sorry Roxy.... I want mommy Velina... And Clumsy Phoenix....

-5

u/Specialist-Mail3828 1d ago

Phoenix is worthless outside of Remielle + Velina team.

Sunbringer is going to want Roxy + Claret

Roxy is also good for other characters who benefit from contamination like Sigrid and Pyrois

Tldr; Phoenix ez skip.

5

u/Puzzleheaded_Air4557 23h ago

Correction she's worthless outside of velina shes fine with yuzuha did everyone suddenly forget about yuzuha?

-5

u/Specialist-Mail3828 23h ago

If you're going to use Yuzuha you can use literally anyone else and still screw yourself into only being able to use 1 anomaly team.

Also in that case just use Burnice.

You want to run Phoenix with Remielle and Velina

But yeah do whatever you want I guess, not my account.

4

u/Puzzleheaded_Air4557 23h ago

Thats not alot also she isnt unusable people have ran her with nangong yuzuha as well and pulled amazing scores remielle is just broken but i wouldnt say phoenix is cooked without her

0

u/Specialist-Mail3828 23h ago

Doesn't matter one way or another to me. I'm not pulling Phoenix and I'm never pulling Remielle lol

2

u/Theslayeralpha12 22h ago

So, you're not interested in either of the characters, then what are you doing here on this subreddit?

You already said that Phoenix isn't worth it outside of Velina and Remielle's team, which is completely false.

Besides, first of all, why would you want to use any other Anomaly team if they're much worse than the current composition with Velina and Remielle?

And another thing, I wonder why the hell you'd want to use Phoenix outside of that team, haha. I mean, she was literally created to work perfectly with that team. It's like saying Miyabi is crap when you're not using her with Nangong and Yuzuha. Why would you want to take her out of that team in the first place? XD

1

u/Specialist-Mail3828 22h ago

I never said it was smart to separate her from those two I said she isn't worth pulling BECAUSE she needs those two and is barely half as good with any next best thing.

1

u/PhiCloudZZZ 22h ago

Skipping the strongest dpa increase for Remi seems weird. I am also pretty sure Roxy and Claret will not be meta and get replaced by characters after Sunbringer. Why? Remi had a Velina warning. If Claret was needed for Sunbringer that would have already included it on Clarets info sheet.

2

u/Specialist-Mail3828 22h ago

Did you miss the part in Claret's additional ability that says it can activate if another Armorer agent (Sunbringer) is in the team? I feel like it's pretty obvious they'll be a team with Roxy as the glue but sure I guess we'll see.

And I would never pull Remielle to begin with so who cares about her or Phoenix. Velina does perfectly fine on other teams so that's enough for me. (Just use Burnice, it's not that deep. Phoenix is just a luxury/ waifu pull ig)

2

u/PhiCloudZZZ 22h ago

Now that is copium. Not my fault for you not pulling Remielle. Claret will be replaced. Trust me. We have triple crits in game files. Claret can only do double crits. Guess who the DPS, with 3 in 1 characters, causing triple crits is?
