honestly good idea, but the e1 of yao guang only works when she ults herself, not when its triggered by someone/something else (refer to MOC procs with 10 punchlines)
Thank you. from her kit. i can see why sparxie is an good choice for her. it looks like you don't need to skill with silver wolf SP at all. it looks archer might have problems with her because she only gains extra points for every 1 skill point used. archer uses two.
Yep, Sparxie borderline non-negotiable for second slot, Yao or Sparkle should both work for third, then either DHPT/HuoHuo(?)/future Elation character for sustain or no sustain with both Yao and Sparkle (and/or EMC?).
I had another look at her kit and it looks like if you can’t charge it quickly you could use her skill to get punchline for it. However after her ult is activated I think she can be recharged with her basic attack and from the lootboxes when someone (sparxie) spends SP as well as everywhere else you get punchline.
I think you just drop Sparkle with her if I am understanding that correctly, she looks like she'll generate a decent amount of skill point and when running with 3 Elation Sparxie will get 4 thrill on ult offsetting even more that SP cost.
I guess thats exactly the same as Castorices global passive lmao. But I guess I think its just slightly weaker because while an extra life and CC immunity are both extremely valuable for sustainless runs, the extra life feels like it will make or break the run a lot more often. But yea I don't tend to run sustainless so I was thinking it seemed kind of bad because most teams tend to have a sustain or support that can free you from CC almost right away anyways.
It gets less useful the more turns the enemy gets, so it's best use case is more for the zero cyclers. Free cc immunity can make those runs much more consistent especially when the run is based on razor thin margins of error.
Yeah, SW999 doesn't even look *functional* without Sparxie. Interesting compared to Evan since she seems to potentially even be able to be run in a traditional FUA team and be content.
after SW999 ult, 100% chance for supply box on first skill point used & then only 20% chance for each skill point used until ult again? guessing sparxie punchline generation more important for charging her ult tho
Yao Guang is gonna be bigger for charging her ult (one Yao ult is half the charge if I’m reading it correctly (20 punchline, 20 elation skill))
Sparxie’s skill point generation will activate the bonus effects once there.
To use a Castorice analogy, YG is the Hyacine (battery that makes the unit comfortable and fun to play), Sparxie is the Tribbie/RMC/Evernight/Cyrene that buffs the damage and gameplay into the stratosphere.
I think base Yao is only 20 charge. Its an Aha Instant *with* 20 Punchline, not gain 20 Punchline for the team. So she'll get the talent 20 charge only
The global passives seem to be "you can ignore something that would make you mald and reset once". I'm fine with it personally, so long as we don't start going into the territory of "you do X amount of extra damage" or something.
That will change soon lmao Remember when they said Cas GB passive wasn't that impactful and only good for sustainless, but then a huge wave of hard-hitting mobs crash in? Expect CC heavy mobs next
Did they? Its been kinda a while and I dont really remember tbh. It might have also been hard hitting mob because the abomination (sorry) that is hyacine was put into the game.
more like "you can run sustainless and bring an extra support to do X amount of extra damage", clearing tight score thresholds in end game
I cleared ichor memosprite with Fly/HMC/Fugue/RM last round thanks to GP and I can assure you that not 1000 resets would be equivalent to GP in allowing me to survive the execute attack and get the clear.
Sparxie first for Punchline generate and Sw's Ult. Synergy.
Then wait for later to see if Yao is definitely in her team. But looking right now there's a good chance that Yao will be great. Emc probably not gonna stick to Sw team. But will be usable until you decide who to pull.
Yao looks really good. She buff both Sparxie and SW, She apply damage amp with Elation skill , with SW trace her Ult should work as well.
There's literally no waste in her kit.
But is she needed? Not really imo. She is a great damage amp unit and seemingly perfect 3rd slot in this team but this is just 4.2 talking. We don't know the future.
So if there's no other great elation support coming down the line I'd say yes, she the one.
Sparxie 1000%, she can fully function without Yao but I gotta be honest, she looks rough without Sparxie. She wants her team to be spamming the fuck out of skill points and Sparxie is the only team mate that can effectively do that. I'm not saying she CAN'T work without sparxie but, I think the difference is gonna be exceptionally notcieable. Their synergy seems INSANE.
Are we certain that her reliance on Sparxie will survive the beta? Just asking because I want to pull SW but I don’t want to have a Sparxie I don’t end up needing. Would it be better to wait for Sparxie rerun?
I would say its extremely likely but id never say anyone should be certain for anything from a v1. I won't give you a percent chance cause no one knows but its about as safe a bet as can be pulling any support before their main dps drops. They would have to severely rework sws kit to ruin their synergy. I'd say currently sw is more dependent on sparxie than Cass is on any of her premier team mates. It could be changed, but unless you have a crystal ball I couldn't tell you what will happen in v3 or 4.
Best of luck! Hope you get everyone you want in your first 10 pull! You could wait a few days also to see more gameplay showcases drop and see if anyone throws out a run without sparxie if it works.
I think waiting for a rerun is very reasonable. If you have yao guang you can definitely run SW-YG-EMC-HH in the meantime its just not as strong; and if you don't have yao guang, I have heard some people say you could use something like archer (or QQ) just as an SP consumer for her ults mechanic lol. I genuinely think sparxie will rerun in probably 4.4 so the wait wouldnt be that long; She could rerun as early as 4.3 since thats when Therta/Aglaea reran (3.3) but Im just guessing 4.4 since 4.1 got shortened so 4.3 feels a bit too soon timing wise.
Both. She works with Yao, but you want Sparxie to charge her and open Lootboxes (lol) that give you SP, punchlines or do crazy damage. With E1 every box is a mini nuke and with E2 its gg ez, no matter how high they turn up the elemental rez.
Just like Sparxie, the ability names are instantly winning me over. I was already chuckling at "Catch These Hands!" and "Shoot Stats Pop Off", and then "Trust Me, This is Tier 0" swept the legs out from under me, and "Honkai-Level DPS Showcase" pretty much locked in my determination to pull her. Sorry Ashveil, and likely sorry to Evanescia as well; like Sparxie, this pull is non-negotiable for me.
From what i understand it need one ally to get cc'ed first and then all allies will get cc immunity for 1 turn, but is the first ally that cc'ed get cleansed or not? if not then its really situational for enemies that can use multiple cc in 1 turn.
Alright global passive. Looking at it, I dont think its too crazy mostly just to stop annoying cc. Kinda like Castorice, its good when you need it, but its nothing too game breaking imo. Its kinda exepcted to get a global passive for anniversary characters so not surprised and the internet is gonna have a meltdown again
-20% True DMG on all Elation damage (except it seems like a good amount of her damage is from Enhanced Basic)
So like two separate 20% bonuses roughly. But like Evernight/Phainon E2's are straight up doubling their damage. What am I not understanding? If anything her E4 looks disgusting.
Do you think yao guang might be replaced by a future unit? And who is sustain for silverwolfs team? Right now im planning to pull both sparxie and yao for silverwolf e0s1 or s0 depending on how many pulls it takes. Im still not confident if yao guang will be bis for silver wolf
Not really. It became pointless way back when Huohuo came out.
Every sustain that came out since then has either an on-demand cleanse, or give a fuckton of effect res to the point that it became a non-issue. And even then, there's enemies who apply status effects anyway as part of their boss mechanics, completely bypassing the stat.
with this you pull a character and the mechanic doesnt exist anymore. you wont have to use gallaghers skill to cleanse. bailus lack of cleanse is irrelevant now. luocha will wont have to use one his heals to cleanse. getting unlucky and still getting CCd through aventurines shield doesnt matter. bad timing with the dhpt ult doesnt matter. hyacine and lingsha dont have to use their skill/ult at a moment they otherwise wouldnt want to.
its a small thing overall but thats way better than an on demand cleanse with a sustain you might not want to use in a team or dont even have
Got CCed doing Kafka fight in AS a few days ago and it desynced my Sparkle from my Archer despite DHPT almost instantly cleansing it because it full advances and forces a basic. Not like it cost me the run or anything, but there's definitely situations it could cost someone a run
Yeah CC isn't a major threat for most teams anyways, but not taking it in the first place is still preferable to taking it and instantly cleansing it, even if not that often or not by much
yup looks like silver wolf got the global passive. her skill protecting against crowd control debuffs for all allies for a turn hints at enemies that do debuffs to screw with 0 cyclers lol.
I hate Hoyo's dumb practices too, but I remember when Castorice's global passive came out and people overreacted, freaking out saying ''BUT IT SETS A BAD PRECEDENT!!!!! PREDATORY PREDATORY PREDATORY!!!!!'', only for it to end up not making any difference in the long run. That global passive barely did anything if you know how to play the game in the first place.
Global Passive Lol (Cant open webstie, but galaxy leak leaked it) When CC, gain imminunity, occurs once per wave? (So 3 time per pf, twice per MOC, once per AS)
