I was a bit sceptical about jumping on the elation train, but here we are. I've run out of jades but I managed to get her E6 in around 600 pulls so I'm quite elated 🎭 .
I lost 50/50 to her normal version (E3), blade (E3) and himeko who I didn't have yet after playing for 3 years lol.
I'll start saving now for YG rerun and future supports.
Hello everyone ! : )
I originally planned to skip elation because I wasn't really a fan of the AHA instant animations spam, but after seeing evanescia and SW999 designs/animations and how powerful their vertical investment apparently is I'm considering building a new elation team.
I can clear all the endgame modes for the jade rewards, except for plight mode, so the goal is to be able to do so consistently from now on.
My current best teams:
- DoT: Kafka E4S1, Hysilens E1S1, Black Swan E1S1 + flex ( Ruan Mei E1S1/DHPT E0S1/Hyacine E0S1)
- Acheron: Acheron E6S5, SW E2S5 (tutorial), tribbie E1S5 (DDD), Hyacine E0S1.
- Remembrance: Castorice E2S1, Evernight E1S0, Cyrene E0S0, Hyacine E0S1.
*The rest of my teams are not up to the current standards anymore including break, for which I have RuanMei E1S1, FF, Rappa and Fugue E0S1. I could pull dahlia but I'm not sure if it's worth it at this point.
I also have 5 golden companion spirits to exchange characters at the shop available and enough to S5 one of the redeemable lightcones too.
Including my savings I could top up and buy the x2 bonus packs to reach 800 pulls. So that means I could E6 evanescia or SW999 and pull next patch for yaoguang/sparxie.
Purely from a meta standpoint, what would be the most optimal way to spend my pulls?
Should I continue to strengthen one of the teams I already have? Or go for a new elation team? And in that case, who do you think will be the best option long-term to clear Plight consistently: E6 SW999 or E6 Evanescia?
Lastly, I'd like to add that I don't fully understand how powerful elation is as an archetype because of all these new terms (punchline, CB, merrymake etc) so it's hard for me to gauge their strength yet.
Thanks a lot for your help! : )
