@Pushsquarian got completely owned on Birth of Imperator first time, realised there was a trick to several stages second time but still died. I might give it a third go, might check a guide but to be honest the rewards aren’t worth it versus the time for me. Just 5 overlord echoes and 40k credits… I’m playing too many live service games that are too time consuming so skip content like this if I can’t get it first or second try. Like higher ToA this often feels more geared towards gods and whales anyway.
@themightyant The trick is to not play HSR on that day. Kidding~ 😁
If you want to play everything yeah of course, have to make these decisions
They've always frontload/balance the rewards in a way to make others not feel discouraged to retry on the last one. But honestly, that just HSR talking for ya there haha~
I've passed by just using trial Carly and Zhezhi with Shorekeeper with my own gameplay observations. However I see it, it's just like any other Tactical Holograms.
How's 3.0? I've heard a number people literally slept in some parts of the story 😄
@Pushsquarian many thanks for the codes 🙏 A rarity in WuWa.
3.0 is great. I really think Kuro games is becoming more confident and the game has got better and better since launch. My only real gripes are
performance is still a mess, even on PS5
they love pyrotechnic moves that fill the screen with effects, which look stunning, but that can make it hard to read enemies sometimes with some characters meaning it’s easier to get hit. This is only really a problem on the toughest content, especially holograms where one hit can mean you are dead.
Talking of holograms after using Carlotta for a bit and improving her rotations I went back to the holograms and beat most of them on lv5. There’s still a few like the heron that has a 1 hit KO homing attack I struggle to avoid but I basically have all the rewards I want so likely won’t push it any further. Lv 6 is again gods and whales territory they get a LOT beefier and more aggressive.
Laughing my ass off at the new quest title and description.
“John Wicktorio, a retired acolyte and accountant of the Order, found his cherished echo brutally killed by some thugs. Determined to settle the scores and avenge his old pal, he’s stepping back into the game to make the culprits pay”.
I also accidentally pulled Roccia, I was just trying to get a couple of 4 star copies with 20 wishes and got her on wish 11 with no pity. I’ll take it! But was really waiting as I already have S6 Sanhua for Camellya.
After playing with Carlotta for several weeks, especially optimising her rotations to maximise damage, I think she is SUPER strong, probably the strongest DPS in the game. BUT like Jinhsi, there is little content that actually survives her full rotation.
What I mean is her biggest damage is back loaded, it is the final attack of her ultimate, but after buffing her with the two other characters and getting around to that final attack everyone is already dead before you fire that final shot. It’s a little frustrating.
I’ve found this on all the normal bosses, tacet fields etc. the only time I can make this final attack hit (assuming I do a full rotation to fully buff it) is endgame content. The alternative is not to fully buff it e.g. only use Zhezhi and not Shorekeeper before, but then what are you building these characters for.
Not the end of the world but I’ll probably go back to Jiyan for open world whose main damage is front loaded. Anyone else have this problem?
Got the Sanhua skin from the event looks pretty cool. Now to invest in her lol.
They have been dishing out a lot of free crystals the last few days which is nice might pull Roccia as she seems to be the best support for Camellya.
The John Wick event was pretty fun, still need to get the 150k and 180k coin rewards. How did you guys do?
@z0d15g0d Nice. Yes thought the skin looked great. Sanhua is brilliant, so little field time and will boost anyone who focuses on Normal attack DMG.
I got Roccia who gives bigger boosts but takes longer on field, lowering DPS a bit, and with Camellya’s long field time it can make it hard to rotate back to Shorekeeper to get her enhanced intro skill. Hence I currently still prefer Sanhua on that team.
Wicktorio was pretty simple I just brute forced it all with Carlotta, Zhezhi & Shorekeeper. Even though they didn’t get additional elemental buffs in many rounds they’re just too strong.
Totally agree on all the free pulls. Even though I got Roccia, and have everyone except Encore, I still have 11k+ crystals and 19 wishes saved. Once I have all the elements sorted I might start skipping a few characters and wishing on their weapons.
@themightyant Yea I used Carlotta, Zhezhi and Verina. Those scampering turtles were pretty annoying. Always running off to different edges of the map. I'm pretty surprised Carlotta can't aim like any of the other gunners it makes no sense unless there's a way to do so I don't know about.
Even though I want Roccia for my Havoc team I think I'll save for a Shorekeeper rerun or the next healer as Verina needs backup.
I'm tempted to build Jianxin for her shield buff but Zani looks like she will be a shield buffer character also.
Currently I'm favouring the Carlotta, Zhezhi combo as I love her ult animations and gunslinger play style. My other faves are Xianli Yao & Yinlin or Calcharo & Yinlin then Changli with Zhezhi or Yinlin.
I'm rebuilding Jinshi and Jiyan at the mo so haven't tested them out with other teams yet. Cameylla is maxed out but she needs a good sub so building Sanhua right now. More incentive to do so with new skin lol.
@z0d15g0d - I haven't used the other gunners outside of their training but Carlotta can map enemies, girl is a full on aimbot without having the precise aim function and she can cover huge distances with her jump normal attacks. Guess they didn't think she needed it.
@Shigurui I agree she doesn't really need it for combat but it's annoying having to swap in another gunner for the moving targets/ box bomb mini-games and also for those bell items in tricky locations.
@z0d15g0d - Ah, having only played since the PS5 launch it never even occurred to me to swap a character for that stuff. I just use the gun on the utility wheel for them.
@Shigurui Lol I thought that only popped up on specific mission events so never bothered to checked if it was a permanent utility. Thanks for the update.
@z0d15g0d - It may well have been a mission specific thing originally but I played a tutorial for it and kept it in the wheel ever since. Perhaps they added it later? Onboarding in these games changes a lot over time.
@themightyant - re: favourite teams, I don't have a great deal to work with so my only team so far is Carlotta, Yangyang/Sanhua and Verina. I got Jinhsi today from a guarantee having lost her 50/50 to a Verina dupe.
Also hit union 45 today so picked the free 5* Claymore for Jinhsi. I have R5 Yuangwu to support her and will need to build Baizhi so a second team is on the horizon and I'm a 10 pull away from getting Encore on that pick whoever you want in 80 pulls banner. Playing catch-up is a pita lol.
@Shigurui@z0d15g0d Also didn't know about the weapon tool. lol. As you said likely was added later.
@Shigurui You have the two strongest DPS in the game imho in Carlotta and Jinhsi, and getting the free 5* weapon will significantly increase their DPS. 2 decent teams.
If you are going to lose the 50:50 Verina's first few Sequences are a pretty good way to do it. S1 adds a nice ongoing healing after outro, which can be useful in end game. S2 adds another of her forte stacks and concerto which again adds to healing and makes her rotations shorter upping total field time for your DPS.
Encore is the only character I don't have but wasn't a big fan of her trial. Seems to mostly work best in Quick Swap teams. Let me know what you think when you get her. Good luck on all the builds.
@themightyant - Yeah Carlotta is really strong and I got her sig weapon seeing as the game was throwing me gems as a brand new account lol, she carried me through the Wick event no problem and I wanted Jinhsi as soon as I played her trial, she just feels great to play.
Got Encore but I'll build my Jinhsi team before I get to her. I enjoyed using her in the Labyrinth tutorial missions and her companion quest. Did a bit of research and she was recommended quite a lot after Verina who I have so opted for her as I didn't like the gauntlet girl or jump boy at all. Encore reminds me of Klee but actually feels decent to play!
So after farming echoes for days I finally got my Jinhsi team kitted out and up and running. Even managed to get her sig weapon too. Happy days! Still need to build Baizi though as I'm switching out Verina over 2 teams lol. Shorekeeper rerun soon please Kuro!
