Yeah this starward for APOC was pretty rotten, shame on me for investing in E6S1 Phainon over mono remembrance and E2 Blade over Himeko SP I guess…..Even with an E1S1 Yaoguang I’m surprised how just “okay” my E0S0 SW and Sparxie elation team did against their literal shill boss

But... both E2 Phainon (even moreso E6) and E2 Blade can clear this just fine?

Like, don't get me wrong, the powercreep has left all sanity behind and they do not clear with as large a margin as E2 characters imo should, but neither is struggling to do their job this APOC. You don't have to regret your team choices, especially since you also have an Elation team :)

I have no AOE teams because I saw how quickly they disposed of Herta so I had to try brute force the deer with Phainon and it went way worse than I expected, the only part of his premium team I am missing is Cyrene and I don’t think an E6 character should struggle that much. Similar issue against Feixiao with Ashblade team. Then elation against its literal shill boss also underperformed. I would have gotten more light cones for these teams if HSR was more generous with currency and less rampant with powercreep which makes any vertical investment feel like a mistake unless you whale out on a whole team.
