1.6 Special Program:



300 polys code: SOLDIER0ANBY
(that's a zero between Soldier and Anby)

Anby looks so fucking fun/cool. Cannot wait to pull her.

*edit*

Damn all 3 new characters look amazing. Free Pulchra too.

I would have thought that they would slowly improve tutorials and the whole explanation of the game systems, but still nothing.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

The story will probably be done in 1,5 hrs so I don't expect anything remarkable from it. The end game stuff though and some of the events they showed, yeah, this is !THE SHIT!, can't wait to dive deep into all this

Trigger looks pretty cool ngl. Stun character with cool animation and can stun off filed too? I was going to skip but now I'm 50/50, will see also depend what Vivian and Vlad will do. I need a nice buffer character in Jane doe team she great and strong first patch but now my Jane feel like shit compare to my other teams.

I thought it was because there were no physical damage weakened opponents for a long time, but even with that Jane feels weak now.

It's not that Jane is bad (she's amazing and one of the strongest characters in the game), it's just that there's barely anything in the game to use Jane for now. Like, I don't remember the last time I used her in SD and in DA literally never, plus and before 1.6, there's literally no Physical stunners in the game and you had to rely on Koleda to daze the fuck out of enemies (before Lighter came out) cuz enemies weaks to Physical DMG were always paired with enemies weak to Fire DMG. Caesar can do daze shit and act as a support, but she's not a dedicated stunner. The fact that there's a Physical stunner now in the game (we're about to see how good she is) is a clear indication that there'll be more SD and probably DA stuff for Physical characters. Also, I don't think there's anyone here who pulled Jane's W-Engine hence and even as strong as she is without it, there's still ~25-30% of her potential left on the table, so when she'll have rerun and depending on how good (or not) the new characters will be at that time, it's a good idea to finally get her W-Engine and I hope that when they'll launch her rerun, there'll be character story for her as well which she doesn't have. Anyway, what are your plans for pulling' ma dudes?

It's kinda tempting to pull for both but that means W-Engines are out of question, so for now I lean towards pullin' for Trigger and her W-Engine and maybe get Zhu's W-Engine as well. Since we'll get Pulchra for free, I don't need to pull her 5 copies during SAnby banner cuz I bet that I'll get them all anyway sooner or later by just pulling normally and if it'll take more time, I don't care. There's also a question of disc sets. Clearly one of em' is made specifically for Trigger and she clearly needs Crit Rate cuz her W-Engine gives her 24%, so not only do we need to build her around that, but Impact stat as well and it'll be interesting to see which disc set is better cuz Impac set is build around Daze build up from literally anything you do and stunners rely heavily on that. There's also no F2P W-Engines with Crit Rate so it'll be difficult to achieve 80% without her signature... unless you don't care about the buffs and effects beyond just stats that is. Idk for whom the second disc set is made for though and it's not like anyone except Miyabi needs that 112 AM as a baseline. There's literally no Anomaly characters in 1.6 so I guess it's for some future characters we don' know about yet (which is about to change in a week or so).

All in all, I think 1.6 looks great so far and it's good to see that there's more tuning calibrators as rewards but I still think that there must be at least 5-6 per update cuz 3-4 (incl. F2P and BP) is not enough and there must be more ways to farm disc mats for crafting cuz there's no good and sane option for that at all in the game, not to mention that a lot of crafting mats go to waste cuz of BS RNG.

Since I lost Evelyns 50/50. It will be Anby and Trigger.

Yep same, this game is dope hopefully ZZZ won't follow the powercreep route of Honkai star rail

1.6 pulls count:

Looks like I'll have around ~200 pulls for 1.6 all things considreded (not counting pulls I'll get back after pulling dupes of characters), which is not enough for 2 characters and at least 1 W-Engine. Idk about Trigger's W-Engine, will probably wait for calcs to see which F2P one will be OK for her. Anby's W-Engine worked fine with Qingyi and Trigger is not a huge DMG dealer anyway, so I might use Anby's W-Engine.

Also, it's basically confirmed that the girl with umbrella will be Ether Anomaly agent cuz new disc set is basically meant for her. If they'll release her and Hugo in 1.7 then I can finally skip the whole update in terms of pulls and save 140 tapes for much better characters.

If only weapons were guaranteed, I would try them from time to time. But I simply can't waste 160 pulls like this.

Yeah, it's a huge issue WuWa fixed completely. I lost my first 75/25 to Rina's W-Engine and had to waste another ~30 pulls to get Evelyn's signature, feels terrible man.
