Your attention to detail and teaching others to play the game better is what drew me to your content, like your Yukong big brain video, it taught me how to use her in a smarter way and once I c6ed her it was a game changer for that unit. Please if possible make a guide video on the brand new penacony ftp lightcones and I'd love to know if they're any good and with who. Am wondering if any existing or brand new characters will make good use of them. Otherwise you should make a video and encourage the community to feedback how it's not acceptable to drop the ball on ftp lcs for penacony patch.

Sorry but even if if don't max tune your Sparkle to 0 cycle she is anything but horrible. 160k skill for Seele, 300k ult. 300k enhanced hits for QQ with 200k Ults and 200k follow ups for Dr Ratio. I run a 134 speed Sparkle with 250% crit damage and i run her with attack boots Dr Ratio and i don't speed tune or anything and still managed to 0 cycle purely because of how monstrous he becomes with Sparkles buffs. Which reminds me, if you need to tune so hard to 0 cycle with DHIL idk how he's better than Dr Ratio who does not need said tuning to also 0 cycle. Though to be fair i didn't 0 cycle with Seele or QQ. QQ actually took 2 cycles, 1 per round. Seele managed to get 0 on the second round but sadly the first round cost me one. Probably because i don't use Dance Dance Dance but SW and FX. My teams all involved SW and FX as well as obviously Sparkle and the DPS mentioned.

For DHIL, I try to add tingyun with sparkle and reminds me with Bronya's buff (atk + crit dmg). Tingyun for energy recharge and basic attack buffs while sparkle for buffs damage and sp regeneration. So if you are unlucky (like me) to get DHIL E2, then you may guarantee to win sparkle on her banner. It looks similar like DHIL E2 which is give 3 ss (equal to 3 sp) and advance forward after ultimate. For jingliu, I still like ruan mei. For Blade, I still use Bronya. But qingque and dhil can be even more stronger with sparkle. Finally I can make mono quantum team (sparkle and silver wolf) and rock it (qingque dps or xueyi dps). I can make dual support/sub dps team with harmony and nihility unit in the same team. Also, what I like about Sparkle. Before enter battle use enhance skill to get 4 sp upon enter the battle. That is useful. Combine with tingyun enhancement, DHIL team (under E2) can still be strong. I know he may get powercreep when Acheron release. But rn I only play with sp hungry dps.

@endoleon2765
@endoleon2765 6 месяцев назад
Got a few things to say. I'll try to remember them in the order they popped in the video. First of all, 4:47, I've seen someone say "Y'all have skill issue if you can't manage your skill points tbh" while they were rocking e2 DHIL... peak hypocrisy. And no, it wasn't sarcasm. For the first option you showcased, that seems quite affordable. I have a 162 spd Sparkle with her own sig lc, Ruan Mei with her own sig lc as well, and a Tingyun who's e6. Now, I like how all I need to do here is to just reduce the spd on my Sparkle. I do have DDD S5 as well, so I really can apply this strat in my runs. Only thing that I find a bit troublesome here, although I get this is for the fun of 0 cycling, is for the 2nd team all the current big shots (meaning the best harmony characters in the game) are all in the first team. So the 2nd team, altho I can't imagine it would take it 10 cycles to clear and/or risk getting 2 stars, I'm pretty sure it would be much slower. Other trouble I find here, at least for me, is that I'd be too lazy to swap Sparkle's gear back to higher spd for other kind of content. She'd depend on that 2nd harmony character who has DDD. Also I'm not sure how would this work in content where there are multiple waves, it probably doesn't matter, if we're talking about farming as most people, including myself, could just auto and not care how it plays out. But honestly there isn't much content in this game other than SU (Where it takes long and it's heavily relying on the luck on blessings and bosses you encounter at the end of the stages. Not to mention if you do play your cards right, then even a 4* unbuilt or unleveled character can shine thus making anything you pick pretty much meaningless and underwhelming). So I tend to actually do play it myself when farming materials or relics. For the second option, the fast Sparkle, that seems great too. Although it seems more expensive. Not in the sense that you need to pay for it with money, but rather with time. Gonna need Vonwacq with at least crit dmg or spd, as well as ERR rope. All while keeping her general speed quite high enough to go a second time on her own. For the 2nd cycle yep she will have only 2 turns unless she's getting pushed again up by DDD. I'm not gonna lie, at first I was skeptical as to how the heck would someone get to have 3 turns on the dps on the first cycle while Sparkle is fast. I thought the dps would somehow need to have well over 160+ spd which sounded like griefing. Very nice strategies! I do like the idea of faster Sparkle as this is how I decided to build her before she came out, so the relics were there, ready for her. For the fast Sparkle I like the fact that the dps will have all 3 turns buffed compared to the slow Sparkle where the dps' first turn is unbuffed by Sparkle. There is something to appreciate about the slow Sparkle too, like I said, it's cheaper, but not only that, if her speed is low, then we can focus more on pieces with crit dmg. So essentially we get to 3 turns either way but her buff is stronger. All in all, great video, pointed out 2 ways to run with it so people can choose, and it's nice how in both cases the main star of the show is actually a f2p lc that I'm sure most people have. Thanks for the info!
@SwiftWaif
@SwiftWaif 6 месяцев назад
One thing that I don't see talked about much, is Sparkle making Huohuo better. The extra SP you get lets you skill more on Huohuo to let her get 3T ultimates if you stack tons of ER, which can potentially let Sparkle get 2T ultimates to improve her SP efficiency better. Sparkle, Tingyun, Huohuo just piggyback off of each other's buffs to supercharge your dps like Jing Yuan or Argenti.

Surprised he didn’t cover the Blade, Sparkle, Bronya team. The teams nutty since it lets you go four times while running no speed on blade and instead focus on offensive stats.

@HotMokha
@HotMokha 6 месяцев назад
So, Sparkle + Bronya teams are kind meh for MoC, but I've been seeing a lot of success running a fast Sparkle + Bronya + Tingyun (DDD) + Seele in Pure Fiction (165+ spd). Even in stage 4, many Pure Fiction enemies are weak enough to be one shotted by a Seele basic as long as she has buffs on her, so SP becomes a non-issue. Additionally, because she can afford to basic attack frequently, she is able to continuously stack the action advance from her A4 trace. Combine all of this with the action advance from all three supports and the energy battery from Tingyun she's easily taking 14 or more actions per cycle without any SP issues. The speed tuning I'm running rn is: Tingyun (172 spd) > Sparkle (171 spd) > Bronya (165 spd) > Seele (124 -> 153 spd). The action order allows Sparkle's buffs to stack with Bronya's buffs when Seele ults immediately after Bronya uses her skill, allowing Seele to one-shot pretty much any elite that ever shows up which guarantees resurgence always activates after she takes action. I've been able to 40k both sides with this setup and it's pretty comfortable since you can pretty much clear an entire wave before enemies even act.

@chriscrocker3976
@chriscrocker3976 6 месяцев назад
One thing I think worth mentioning next to "dont pull unless you have these units," is that a harmony units are a lot more future proof, especially the limited ones. So I would say that even if you don't have those units it might be worth considering what else you do or don't have on your account. If you don't have Ruan Mei she might be worth pulling still for a 2nd team support since she's still gonna be very good. Plus when another skill point greedy DPS comes out like DHIL she's just gonna retain that value. (And then you'll run into people saying "don't pull this dps unless you have sparkle.") In gacha games, supports tend to have a lot longer lifespan in the meta than DPS. So in the Sparkle vs Acheron debate i would guess that sparkle will stay relevant longer. Just something worth considering if you're on the fence between the 2, though at the end of the day you can roll for who you want more

Oh well, hopefully I will get her randomly soon.

Just a note Sparkle herself doesn't require speed tuning as much as your other units along with her. Hit 161 and she works in every team. Your dps wont need speed if you are running a sustain or another support with 4 piece hacker space. She won't have issues really keeping them acting next. The only issue I know most of you will have is triggering on skill use the next acting unit gets dmg bonus LC effects. That's only an issue if you're running those LC and no other supports. I personally suggest using Dance Dance Dance or Meshing Cogs. If you guys haven't tried Blade or Argenti with her AND Bronya you should. Argenti will be doing loads of dmg and he won't have issues keeping his ult. I tried this for the current MoC and 3 cycled. (note that I'm F2P and I don't have great relics)

Why u saying just get 161 speed like it’s something easy to do? It had to use all of my best speed relics and I barely managed to hit it, and I’ve been playing since day 1. Someone with bad RNG or newer player can’t hit 161 speed.
@Helperishere
@Helperishere 6 месяцев назад
@@07Lightless that's not true. 161 isn't hard to achieve. You just need 2 rolls into speed on each piece of your musketeer or Hacker Space set. It's easy on Sparkle, Hanya, Tingyun, etc. Bronya isn't easy bc her base speed is way too low. You can easily run tingyun around 134 speed with full hackerspace for the extra 12% speed which will put your less than average Sparkle above 160 speed. I'm entirely F2P with shit luck aswell but I am efficient with my farming and know how to fish for speed substats.

@@Helperishere Can you explain what exactly you mean by how to fish for speed substats please? I have seen so many people act as if people saying that it's difficult to get high speed on characters are delusional - either they have no idea how much luck can actually vary in a gacha game, or I'm missing something obvious about how to get more speed on relics. (Since tone is hard to convey in comments I just want to clarify that this is a genuine question, I'd really like to know if there's some way I can improve.)

@@silla42 for the most part when you're looking for any stat you no matter what keep the relic with the single stat you like. Then you get it to lvl 6 or 9 depending on the substats. If it doesn't roll in that you want than it's usually a dud relic. Always go for speed substats on Hacker Space or Musketeer sets as they give a massive bonus to speed. So what I'll do is if the relic has speed ill lock it. Then roll it. If I get a 4 in speed than it's a good relic. Anything higher than that and it's even better. I think you only need 6 speed on all of your relics to reach 160. You can pseudo 160 if you run just around 140 speed and have the hackerspace 4 piece active or if you use Dance Dance Dance. If you have 4 speed substats on each relic you'll get around 146 speed which is already good enough to get 2 turns per cycle after the first one but that can be fixed with DDD or Wind Set bonus or an ally activating Hacker Space. My Tingyun is 155 for some of my runs and I use her with Meshing Cogs + Wind set to have her ult up very fast while also getting 2 turns or more per cycle. Note that speed is viable for supports on almost any piece. You can even have a quantum dmg orb on your Tingyun as long as it gives good speed. 2 piece Hacker Space plus a rainbow set is great. You can bypass alot of speed substats with an Asta aswell if you have her built. I have 3 supports with speed substats reaching 160. It took me around 2 months of farming but it's worth it. It's honestly harder to get good crit rate relics imo. Speed can make your dmg per cycle go up by a ton. I went from barely beating MoC 11 to 3 cycling each floor in MoC 12 with getting my supports fixed. If you're like me than your adhd brain sometimes gets in the way of efficient farming and you wanna build a new character but trust me once you force yourself to focus on a single character it's so worth it. I believe there are guides on youtuber here that will tell you all about speed break points and how to get pseudo 160 or even 200. Sounds more complicated than it actually is in practice. Edit: also my earlier reply sounds misleading. It's not EASY to get 160. It's just not as hard as people make it out to bed. On someone like Bronya than 10000% it's hard but for someone like Pela it should be just a medium challenge. Rolling one stat is always easier than rolling for 2.

@@HelperishereAs a long time Genshin gamer farming relics like a lunatic is in my blood lol( and I have ridiculously high standards and go for Godly rolls) I started HSR on my PS5 when Jingliu’s banner was out and immediately got her and then only played off and on. I didn’t really start focusing on this game until about January of this year and I love it. There are so many thing I like more than Genshin (the resin system for one) but man I have PTSD from all the farming I’ve done for the past 3 years lmao. Anyway, it’s been tough trying to get the stats I need with the right sets. I kinda messed up and got my priorities out of whack and only focused on my Jingliu team and still don’t have a second team all the way built for MOC (no words). Also I STILL have a PURPLE CD body piece on Jing because I have yet to get an orange one (the game hates me) and I have spent so much time farming for it and now my other supports/units have been neglected. Now I feel lost, like I don’t know what to do, as if I’m a newb to Gatcha games or something. My Ruan Mei is built so nicely. She has over 200 Break Effect. I have Jingliu at 135 speed and Bronya at 134 and I use Huo with that team. To name some other units (so you can see who I have for a second team) I have: Blade/Ratio/DHL E1/Black Swan E1/Bronya E1/Ruan Mei/Huo/ and of course Jing. 4 stars I use most are Ting E6 and Pela (no cons as I FINALLY just got her. I just got Sampo to E4 so I can finally build a dot team for BS (I don’t have Kafka so have to wait for her rerun again) and I also have Guinaifen but only at E3. I have Lynx I can build for a second healer but was waiting for Gallagher to come out to see if he will be a better healer. Sorry so long. You seem very knowledgeable in this game and though I started last year I should have played daily from jump and done things correctly. So now I’m farming bosses and mats to get other units leveled up. I have a 2nd team almost ready consisting of DHL/Ting/Pela/ and I was gonna build Lynx (she is at level 60 I think) and then stopped as to not waste mats in case Gallagher would be better. Relics need help but aren’t terrible. I have SUPER high standards and though I’m “mostly” F2P (I get battle pass but that’s it) I still aim for meta. Help? Haha I have been SUPER lucky on the banners. Omg. I just won 50/50 for the 8th or 9th time in a row but kicked myself in the ass. I got DHIL E1 on accident. I had just gotten him and wanted to build pity (also wanted more Guin cons) so I wished again and got his E1. Well then ONE DAY before Sparkle’s banner I had the same train of thought because surely after winning 50/50 so many damn times I wouldn’t again I wished 1 more rime but on BS’s banner and I f’ing got BS E1. Black Swan users would say I’m very lucky as her E1 is amazing but I cried. I want Sparkle AND Acheron and I messed it up for myself badly. Never try to build pity! Lesson learned. Anyway any input/help would be MUCH appreciated

I ran Sparkle, Dr. Ratio with Silverwolf and lynx. Sparkle taking the spot of my Ruan Mei, and it was instantly higher DMG.

@MajeedBelle 6 месяцев назад
I don't run the King so I can't really help with how to play him in this composition that you are talking about. But if you are having issues making them consistent then I would look up content about how to speed tune. There are a few characters whose value is maximized with speed tuning and if you don't have that aspect of the game down then you may be missing out a little bit and this could very well be the cause of your inconsistency. It's also worth mentioning that speed tuning is very much about min/maxing so keep that in mind

I gotta say, for dr ratio, if you go sustainless with sparkle ting/ruan mei and pela, I think he has the highest ceiling in the game at e0 for damage. Do keep in mind tho that this takes an insane amount of investment on all of your supports and you want speed, DDD and wind set on them. but no other character can scale this much off non eidolon investment I believe

I think seele has the best synergy with sparkle. Not because of skill point, not because of mono quantum, but because sparkle's skill behave almost like a 100% action advance with seele because she can easily outspeed her. That means that she goes 2 times per rotation instead of 1 (just like a 135 speed bronya) exept for the first turn.

Btw guys, you can have 160 SPD Sparkle and still go 2 times in first 2 cycles, because HSR shows you a flat number without showing decimals. And If you run her with SPD boots, SPD boots gives more than just flat 25 SPD, so you have a little bit more than 160.1 SPD that allows you to go twice.
@Helperishere
@Helperishere 6 месяцев назад
Yup. Hitting 160 is still key no matter what though. It's better than slow Sparkle in the majority of teams and easier to work with. There are situations where you can use Wind set and dance dance dance to have her act 3 times on slow sleeps but having 160 will have her acting a bit too fast if you have wind set on her.
