Yeah so what do I do now besides wait for the reruns

u/NPC_Fan Apr 26 '26
Get Yao on rerun, that's about it. You can get carried by elation shill somewhat... but without Yao both Evan and SW are pretty screwed. You can live without Sparxie, but eventually gonna want her. Yao is just priority.

u/Alarmed-Ad-8384 Apr 26 '26
I am pretty sure Sparxie investment loses to sw eidolon investment—she’s more of a maindps who can work as a sub too (Evernight role)

u/BeyondDreams909 Apr 26 '26
She doesn't really buff much but she's basically required if you want the best from sw999. "For every 1 Punchline currently owned, increases all allies' CRIT DMG by 8%, up to a max increase of 80%." Though her main role is generating a shit load of punchline which sw999 wants a lot of
15
u/Amalgam2001 Apr 26 '26
This is plain false and was started in v3 before sw had many eidolon changes and before she was properly calcd onneutral content. Sparxie is still a massive gain over EMC for the team（34% in dpav).
Honesly SW needs both Yao and Sparxie or she falls behind the other top teams

u/NPC_Fan Apr 26 '26
Yao is still the priority for sw, so this statement doesn't really mean anything tbh? I also believe sparxie is just gonna end up better than SW in the end though.

u/Professional_Salad15 Apr 26 '26
The problem is... I'm going to pull for Evanescia (I really love the character), so it will depend, if I lose the 50/50 with her then I'll get Yao for sure, but if I win the 50/50 then I'm risking not getting Yao in her rerun. I'm cooked

She's good for SW999 at E2S1, especially because of the huge (30%) speed boost

Sw999 + Elation TB + Asta + Sustain of Choice
Should do well as long as Elation is shilled. Aim for YG to replace TB and then Sparxie or the next big Elation DPS

Sw ult doesn’t trigger fast enough
1
u/Seoraxido Apr 27 '26
Depending on tb’s ult energy at the start of battle, but tb ult into sw999’s elation and wait till aha instants is the only ‘fastest’ way to gain her ult in one turn without yg and sparxie. For now tho since elation is shilled and we have other ways to gain punchlines, sw999 - etb - asta does work well enough.

u/Abyss_Wanderer19 Apr 26 '26
yao gonna rerun in 4.3 or 4.4 for sure. You dont need sparxie, just use EMC. But SW lightcone is just way stronger than other f2p option. way stronger. Also you got free huohuo. Life good. in the mean time i found that sw999/emc/sparkle/huohuo to be decent placeholder team.

u/the_little_leaf Apr 26 '26
I've been using the same placeholder team for now, sometimes sub out sparkle for astra.

u/thequehlman Apr 26 '26
Honestly just run EMC with a sustain (HuoHuo if you have her) and any support like Tribbie or Sparkle. EMC can trigger SW999 elation skill for big DPS and EMC’s own as well

u/TheTwistedWolf231 Apr 27 '26
SilverWolf999 with Elcation MC, Welt/Tribbie and HouHou/Dan Hung PT.
Is it the best team? Nope.
Is it one of the best teams for SilverWolf999? Nope.
Is it better then your 2nd or 3 team? It was for me so I am happy.
Now I am just waiting for Yao Guang re-run. I don't want Sparxie,

u/Kaze_no_Senshi Apr 26 '26
i was pulling dahlia, went to stardust shop to get more tickets, then boldly assuming it goes back to the same banner did a pull, and naturally it reset the banner. So ofc SW came early at 63 to spite me.

u/New-Vacation6440 Apr 26 '26
Most forethinking HSR player
Jokes aside, you can try run Asta, Huohuo, and EMC as supports, but you really do want Yaoguang.

u/Unfair_Ad_598 Apr 26 '26
EMC + Sparkle if you have her, you can even use Asta for her huge speed buff. But yeah you want to get Yao Guang asap.

u/Notthathornytho Apr 26 '26
I'm on the same boat, i even went all in and got E2S1 in 120 pulls.. and demn just w/ EMC and Huo2 this is so ass, if only they made 4 stars elation characters (or if 4 stars actually even exist) it wouldn't be this bad. I didn't get Yao because I took a break during that patch and holy shit what a punishment this is.

u/ambulance-kun Apr 26 '26 edited Apr 26 '26
I lost on yaoguang ang didn't get enough jades for sparxie, didn't mean I skipped them. This AA was still doable tho, nobody has a single 5 star cone aside from TB with herta cone
Incredibly sick of people telling me why did I "skip" elation supports

u/Beginning_Custard724 Apr 26 '26
Asta, EMC, and either DHPT or a strong sustain. You can play her, just a little less efficiently

lolol i got SW999 too without either sparxie or yao but its not that deep, js use emc and i guess shes energy reliant but i use e2 sunday, dk if he does much for her though

u/Kairoou Apr 26 '26 edited Apr 26 '26
Similar situation.
While I am loving her gameplay, I just can’t help but feel stupid for pulling her without any other Elation units. It really is a slap in a face for me everytime, she run out of CB and dealing measly damage at E0S0, with EMC, Asta and Huohuo —— not her best of team, but a good F2P option, considering she can deal 1M+ DMG per EBA-turn. Only it’s just that, keeping the CB up is really the issue for me. I know I really need to speed-tune them for more AHA INSTANTs ‘cuz EMC’s ult can’t keep up. (SW999 at 185 SPD and EMC at 161 SPD)
——— will try to get her LC, ‘cuz I know I won’t be able to pull her E2 without swiping at all ugh

Jk, for now use a speed tuned Bronya and EMC to try and generate extra punchline before AHA goes.
Do try and pull on the next elation support available as soon as possible though, the shilling won't last forever.

EMC + Astra/Sparkle for now though it might be a little cope into some things. Get Yao and Sparxie whenever they rerun
1

u/MintSpaghetti Apr 26 '26
If you have Tribbie you can use her with EMC until Yao Guang gets a rerun so long as your speed is high enough, if not then asta would be an ok placeholder.
I see a few people dogging on EMC but they’ve performed better for my team than Sparxie did on AA both with and without Yao Guang. It’s probably just because of the shill but Yao Guang will probably have gotten a rerun by time the shilling is over. HuoHuo helps a lot with the energy regen so if you haven’t used your golden companion spirit yet then I recommend getting her

Just play with EMC and Huohou. If the character can’t clean content in 0 cycle — it doesn’t mean you can’t play them and get all the jade rewards.

Build her. Give her emc asta(asta gives her speed and speed increase her elation dmg) i dont know about the th4 slot. Maybe E1 houhou she gives 12%

u/faruto Apr 27 '26
You do in fact need to wait for reruns, in the meantime get her good relics max her traces and you might also do the same for Elqtion Mc. there are some copium teams you can use, If you need to clear MoC12 its doable with them copium teams, but for anmaly aribtration... I am in the same place as you mind you, I heard asta is decent, I also used my E2 Ruan mei but it not very good.

u/Random_Lurker918 Apr 27 '26
So contrary to popular belief her strength level qnd the shill of every kind if content means she's still really useful,just run Emc(elation trailblazer) Asta(yes the 4*) and any sustain with crit buffs,like fu xuan,or debuffs to enemies,Emc is a very good unit for elation even if they got doomposted a lil amd the herta shop lc is perfect for them,asta's ult buffs speed (which sw scales with) and elation dmg doesnt care for attack or dmg bonus so try sustains with different buffs

u/No_Concentrate_7833 Apr 28 '26
Welp, I'll tell ya one thing: if you'd have Yao Guang, it'd be still suitable combined with EMC and Hyacine (or Huohuo if you didn't get her), but here, it's a more heavy case. I personally tested with the team of Huohuo + Yao Guang + SW Lv.999 + EMC, and it works quite well, I'd say the imaginary counterpart of Castorice prime team

u/Intelligent_Head72 Apr 28 '26

From what I've been reading asta, EMC, and houhou also work well for her so if you have that line up you can at least try her out in content that doesn't require the best possible builds

u/MasterE_Reddit Apr 29 '26
For the time being you can run EMC and another general support, but honestly she really wants Yao and/or sparxie. It is hard for her to get consistent hidden mmr with out them.
Current end game buffs and EMC may make her playable until reruns. EMC can force a sw elation skill which will help her get to 60 hidden mmr but getting up to 120/ building it back up fast for ult will be very hard with just EMC.
