It's definitely going to depend on how many pulls I can muster, and indeed how many it takes me to even get E0, which if the others are anything to go by, I'm expecting not less than about 70-80, and that is winning the 50/50 again.

It may be a stretch and I'd probably be better off with E0 and the LC initially, then I could see how things look nearer the end of the banner run and get a better picture of what is coming next as well.

<3 the Nihility team above all else so I'd be interested in new ones for that path.

I am not sure I could stretch for multiple Acheron dupes but you never know, especially if I skip Aventurine. By all accounts E2 Acheron is definitely a boost over E0.

If you can't afford to go all in to get Acheron's E2, it's probably worth to try for her light cone instead if you still want to vertically invest in her.

Yeah I wouldn't recommend getting any eidolons early on as I don't feel they will add as much as getting more limited 5* characters for a more varied roster to cover more bases. Would also second that her light cone would be a better pull than her eidolons. I'm only now thinking of pulling eidolons for the first time as am now relatively comfortable with the variety in my roster. In fact, I wasn't even pulling limited light cones until relatively recently.

I assume you don't pay attention to leaks, but Fugue Tingyun.[/ISPOILER]

Oh wow, thanks for the heads up, you're right I didn't even know there were leaks with further details and just assumed she would be an improved or just waifu version of Jiaoqui heh. Ah man, so she is like Lingsha is to Gallagher... Hmm may make my life easier on deciding to pull for her or not then heh.

On that note @Lordhippos, Gallagher is excellent but too similar to your Lingsha, so if you've already invested in Natasha you might as well invest a bit more to get her strong enough for ongoing regular use before spending even more resources/time farming relics to get Gallagher going, and his ideal set (thief of shooting meteor I think) you will gradually get lots of over time from the Echo of War farming for ascension materials.

 

[Lordhippos]

Yep I think I'm being overly optimistic atm!

I have enough pulls banked to basically get Acheron and her LC I think unless I get super unlucky, but hoping for two more dupes will be a struggle and would likely mean I'm having to buy actual pulls rather than taking advantage of the battle pass.

I'm still levelling things up so also correct that I can't boost everyone, I'm working on getting my 4th LC to 80, but my other 4 main ones are still level 70 for example, just slowly getting the materials in.

 

[Lordhippos]

Still working away, looks like 2.6 lands soon and some new event stuff which will be good!

I've unlocked the ability to upgrade my main 8 character LC's to 80 but a few of them I lack the xp materials to do yet so they're stuck at 70. Same for gear and traces where I'm just slowly working away at things

Looks like Acheron banner is around 22 days away, a week or so beforehand I'll probably look at getting her ascension materials etc gathered so I can boost her to 80 right away, maybe a bit before then we'll see as I'll also need materials and gear for her relics/light cone etc. Maybe I'll make a start on this in about a week.

 

[Lordhippos]

Anyone pulling for Rappa? I'm def skipping building my Acheron war chest as big as I can

New code for 50 stellar jades: EB3KUYQW833P

I re-upped the nameless honour for another month as well, the materials and pulls are very useful, I am not sure I'll renew this every month but I figure a few of these is fine especially if I'm not spending outside of this + the daily jades thing.

I'm probably skipping to save my pulls but I am thinking about it

 

[Lordhippos]

With Sunday and Fugue Tingyun coming though I'm definitely more interested in what they offer vs Rappa for my team comps. I think they're both more support roles but don't think either will be sustain. I like my Nihility squad as well so Tingyun may well be a must pull for me.

I could really use someone better than Natasha to keep my second team alive, Lingsha does this role so well vs Natasha

 

[Vincentdante]

My Argenti ascends.

 

[Lordhippos]

Ah nice, is that one of the new relic sets?

 

[Vincentdante]

Yeah, I honestly can't believe my luck with those two pieces.

 

[Lordhippos]

Yep I've seen how RNG the secondary stats are in particular... getting crit rate/dmg on a high DPS character is pretty tough!

I had no plans too, and absolutely don't need to as I've got Imbibitor Lunae, but.... her design is so cool that I'm very annoyingly being tempted. Probably also just getting pull withdrawal. Must persevere and resist! I'll just play the new story in the hopes that her character is really annoying (a distinct possibility if there is the inevitable poorly executed rapping ).

You may want to consider Aventurine if you have any leftovers from The Acheron banner. Annoying as I find him, I have to concede that he makes your team nigh invincible with no healing being required.

Bloody heck, that's amazing, brings a tear to my eye . This is what I find really irritating about the game, not only do you have spend forever battling rng to get a set with enough good substats, you then have to battle rng all over again in the hopes that you're levelling up with target the best of those stats. For example my go-to Clara from the first year I realized later has a very poor build because despite good substats, as only the useless ones were upgraded when levelling so I'm having to refarm for her all over again...Effing irritating

 

[Lordhippos]

ba na~na~na~na~na

 

[Vincentdante]

Ended up getting Rappa anyway, I was sold by her character trial. Once she is built up I will add her to my character pool for people to play with.

 

[Lordhippos]

Nice one! she seems like a good character but I'm still skipping, more interested in how Fugue/Sunday are I think.

If I pool my various resources I have about 230 pulls now, so I think I can safely get Acheron and her LC and have some left over.

You may want to consider Aventurine if you have any leftovers from The Acheron banner. Annoying as I find him, I have to concede that he makes your team nigh invincible with no healing being required.

I have also been considering this, however it sort of boils down to how many pulls I have when done with Acheron and what the new characters are like. I'll play this one by ear as I have some time to work it out

I get what you mean about pull withdrawal, mine are really stacking up and I feel the urge but I know patience will win, and with my current roster every SSR counts.

 

[Geriatric hedgehog]

Thankfully I was adequately put off by the story so happily resisting Rappa's banner now heh. Still like her overall and her energy regen on her ultimate seems impressive enough to just need to build it up only once it would appear. Hope she's easy to build @Vincentdante and I look forward to borrowing yours.

I don't want to spoil this for anyone who hasn't done the story yet so I will follow the next part in spoiler tags.

I generally don't like chuunibyou things so I'd 100% not pull for Rappa based on her personality/mental state

I'd second that and though I wouldn't mind if it was involving only one aspect, or character, for comic relief, the whole story and everything around it being wrapped in the chuunibyou veil made this arc a damp squib for me. A shame given that the more serious and underlying backstories involving Dr Primitive and the galaxy rangers seem fascinating.

The real question is though who is the Galaxy ranger who found her in the end? A 3rd one enters the arena!

 

[Vincentdante]

Oh FYI my improved Argenti is up as well, he cleans any normal grinding domain almost instantly now. I didn't build speed so I recommend using a Sparkle/Bronya for full domain destruction.
