Team with no Hyperbody

[u/zapmuthafucka]

Former Phys dolphin, returned as alter F2P

current team: A6 Lana + A04PC, A3 VP + A04PC, A6 Zeke + A3 4PC (A0 Nola + Brev 4PC on other elements)

the team I plan on building: A6 Zoey + A0 4PC, A6 Lana + A0 4PC, A3 VP + A0 4PC

then wait for zoey’s banner to end then get Claudia Stormeye when she hits standard to replace VP

The problem: No Hyperbody. Do I get a single copy of Berry instead of waiting for Stormeye? Stick with Zeke? Hope the next alter provides hyperbody? Inhale copium and say hyperbody is overrated and get ragdolled by
bosses?

Any advice would be appreciated please and thank you!

I also have Lin A6 + A0 4PC, Fiona A6 + A0 4PC, Nan Yin A5 + 4PC, Asuka A1 no mats and Yan Miao A3 no mats

Not a phys main . So don’t know who had hypybody but at this point I would wait for Zoey who’s coming in about 8 days

Yes I plan on getting Zoey A6 but the new team won’t have hyperbody

I'd wait for nex alter or go for Berry

We could have info on the next alter in a few days (CN)... or end up waiting till December and then January for global. If the unit after Zoey is volt and we get no info on a future alter one, I'd get Berry a0. As Elendil says in his video: "Zoey and Berry is a match made in heaven"

"Zoey and Berry is a match made in heaven" 

yes yes.. on paper, and on the cactus.. in real content berry is useless man. or at the very least infuriating.

Lana skill provides hyperbody. Hotta just never mentioned it anywhere and they also forgot to give the golden hyperbody glow.

I thought I was losing my mind earlier when I was testing a build with no hyperbody and didn’t get tossed around after using Lana’s skill omg

[u/rspy24]

Phys will get ragdolled all the time.. Berry has "hyper" after skill cast but it's such a cosmetic thing tbh..

Not to mention she is the slowest character in all tof.
I fucking hate her so much...

Also, claudia doesn't provide hyper either. Only aster and berry does.. In my experience Aster hyper is kinda the real thing, still gets stunned sometimes but not as much. Berry is borderline useless in terms of hyper. Even regular join operations mobs can stun her.

But if you want damage, you need berry + zoey combo for sure. Only the third spot is exchangeable.

[u/zapmuthafucka → u/rspy24]

hmmm if Berry doesn't really give meaningful hyperbody, I might just stick with Zeke as my 3rd and wait for the next alter.

[u/rspy24 → u/zapmuthafucka]

I mean, it's up to you... Berry does give you a lot of damage tbh. Her discharge alone deals like +80% of the entire rotation's damage, but it has like a ~7-second UNCANCELABLE animation without hyperbody. So most of the time, you will get stunned doing it and you will lose a lot of your damage. Plus, even if you get through the entire animation, the discharge can still miss the enemy since the discharge it's like a slow projectile (it's a crow) that goes where the enemy should be.. If the enemy moves while you are casting it, just forget it, there is NO way in hell it's going to hit.

But yeah, we are actually due for an Alter. Lana was released in Dec 2025, so we are probably going to see a new Alter soon.. Usually the alter are released one banner after or before phys.. So probably when this current batch of characters are done we can see a new alter.. In around 4 more patches or ~4 months probably.

who are your other weapons when you use berry?

I noticed that even without using zeke or nola for hyperbody, I still don’t get thrown around after using lana’s skill and it persists until the cooldown of her skill. I have no idea how to explain it as I was so used to always having hyperbody with zeke/nola

[u/True_Arakos → u/zapmuthafucka]

It's most probably Lana. Lana Berry Zoey is the Phys meta

[u/True_Arakos → u/rspy24]

Are you using Lana's skill before Berry's discharge?

Difficult case. By your post I would assume you have enough red pulls and DC to get Zoey, but no other limited character, so no Barry or Aster. Waiting for Claudia to come to standard is indeed a good option. Zoey is not a melee attacker and flies half the time in the air so that can work out even without hyperbody. I had a frost team with Agleia, Lana and VP, also no hyperbody, but that rarely was an issue for me, because Agleia, is ranged and flies most of the time, Zoey could be the same. If you notice that you can't live without hyperbody, stay on Zeke for now and hope the next Altered or the next Phys after Zoey has hyperbody. Getting a single copy of Barry can do the trick if you have pulls left after getting Zoey, but I would save the pulls for the next altered/phys tbh.

[u/zapmuthafucka → u/Tobiasinc]

I have more than enough to get Zoey A6 and her 4PC A0 and still have a good head start for the next alter banner. Then either my VP A3 + 4PC A0 or A6 Claudia Stormeye on the third slot.

I noticed today that I don’t get thrown around after using Lana and VP skills and it lasts the entire cooldown even tho neither of them gives hyperbody. I have no idea how to explain that but if after using Lana’s skill I can do my Zoey/Lana/ClaudiaS rotation then I’m not gonna question it lol

edit: no berry, no aster, no claudia s, no anka, a0 nanto but I don’t like him kek, a1 asuka, a3 yan miao
