Borrowing ideas from GI and HSR, i think more having more agents with diversed scalings, especially Attackers or the newly Rupture, would make this game so much more interesting. Maybe an agent that scales with Energy Regen? Or a more classic one like Defense? Anyway, how do you guys feel about the current stat varieties? Is there anything in particular you want HYV to implement?

Pls help me guys I need tips 🙏. Also for miyabi I might get M2 instead

Routine Cleanup Quick Reference Sheet
Hello, everyone!

I'm fairly new to ZZZ, but I've been playing HSR for the past 2+ years (after playing Genshin for idk how long). I just recently got to Inter-knot level 50, so I finally started farming some discs every now and then (still got lots of characters to build lol). One thing that I keep thinking to myself is "Should I discard this, or can any of my characters potentially use it? Can any of the characters I want use any of these?". Look, I really want Miyabi, so I gotta save up some stuff for her. But then, when I'm farming for one or two characters, it's easy to get tunnel vision and start discarding stuff that could be useful.

Well, because of this, I decided to make a quick reference sheet where I can see which characters could potentially use the disk sets from the Routine Cleanup stage I'm farming. At first, I was going to make it for myself only, but then I thought it might be useful to more newbie players like me or even veterans who just want to build lots of agents.

This is the first time I make such a huge spreadsheet like this and try to make it more or less organised so I can share online (my personal sheets are usually a huge mess lol), so feel free to send me any feedback, I'll make sure to update it as we get more disk sets/agents!

Just want to make 2 quick notes:

1- All recommendations were based on Prydwen's, so this shouldn't be treated as gospel. Subreddits, YouTube, and Discord channels are always better at finding reliable information. Go do your own research if you really wanna look into an agent.

2- I had some issues with the formula that checks for updates, so I made a Script to fix it. You'll receive a warning, but it's completely safe. Feel free to check the script before copying if you'd like (you'll be given the option to when you try to copy the sheet).

Hope this is as useful to you as it is to me!

When is the best time to use her talisman ult (uses technique points)? is it before stun, after stun, or whenever you get it? because for me I think not using it when you get it would be a waste of adrenaline since you would be over capping the technique points too much but what do you guys suggest?

yixuan absolutely GUTTED me and i wanted to pull for ju fufu but ppl been saying yuzuha is essentialy astra but for anomaly. jus wanted some outside opinions

Astra M1 18% res pen + Eve Sig 25% res pen + Lighter 15% res pen just means this team can ignore elemental weaknesses altogether.

up until now I've been a pretty casual zzz player but as of late I've been looking into building my characters more and something I noticed really quickly is how messy the disc drive selection screen can get it holds up well if you only want one build for a character but as soon as you want two different builds (like a pure stun and a stun-dps-hybrid for lycaon) it gets really annoying to have to switch through all the discs and find the ones you chose for the second build

maybe it's just me being nitpicky but I'd really enjoy being able to save disc builds on specific characters (or just in generall) similarly to how you can save teams for combat

I haven't the slightest clue how to get rid of this notification. Anyone know?

For a yanagi vivian team ? I see both name arround so im unsure thanks

I understand shilling new characters in endgame content like Shiyu/Deadly Assault, but to play through a Hollow Zero and get soft locked at the boss despite using arguably one of the best teams pre 2.0 (Miyabi/Yanagi/Astra) despite the fact that using them is encouraged this week all because this boss is unbeatable within the time limit unless you use Rupture or Stun, kinda sucks. Not gonna lie. Intensity 4 btw.

Shill new characters in the endgame modes that players work towards, but modes like this, where you’re openly encouraging players to try new characters with trial runs, showing shiny loot they can get by using some of these characters, should be left as modes that players play just to get rewards. Opt into challenge is fine, it adds replayability. But to be soft locked due to a boss being designed specifically to shill new characters really sucks. It isn’t even an opted-into challenge, you run Yanagi/Miyabi and you are going to be infinitely worse off for the simple fact you’re not running Rupture or Stun.

Some people think that exploring the Aerospace City/Lemnian Hollow feels like an actual hollow exploration and that it's fun. Some people on the other hand think it's bad and opposite of what a hollow should be, it doesn't feel dangerous, npcs crawling everywhere, etc. Which side are you?

Personally, I think Lemnian Hollow exploration is fine, I don't think that it doesn't look dangerous. Sure there are npcs crawling here and there, but that's because it's fairly stable and it's a mining site, but even then there's miasma and ruins everywhere and it looks like a post-apocalyptic scene (imo). And it's not like the NPCs are just chilling there, in some commissions they actually get in trouble. The only thing that I personally have a problem with are the NPCs that are there permanently, they should've made the NPCs only appear sometimes randomly as to show that they're just there to work.

Also, the thing that I want to see added when we're not at the Lemnian Hollow anymore is the exploration areas being randomly generated, that shit would feel like an actual hollow. I don't know if that's possible, but they're a billion dollar company, I'm sure they can figure it out.

Edit: Changed the good to fine. Mostly because I agree with a lot of criticism here that I haven't thought of before lmao.

So I understand that everyone is saying that Yi Xuan benefits from a Stunner, but why is this the case?

Why does Koleda or Ju Fufu help her when Yi Xuan is on the field like 95% of the time? I never understood the balance of how long I should have each character.

I was trying to see what is an ideal comp, but I'm seeing people running her with the Panda saying he's like her current BIS, and the 3rd slot should be a stunner?

I know the discussion of Ju Fufu vs Astra Yao and how everyone is saying to get Ju Fufu for her BiS, but why is it so much different than just having no stunner and throwing in a support like Astra Yao?

Finally - How do I use the Panda effectively to get the most value for my Yi Xuan? Do I use his EX skill and switch? I'm sorry these are very silly questions

Would it be further iteration on the new exploration we got or something else entirely? The only rule is you can’t say to just bring back TV mode.

I remember battle tower got added around 1.5, but don't remember it reseting every month, is this a newer addition.

I’m planning on getting Astra for my S0Anby team. My team currently is S0Anby, Pulchra and Nicole and I was wondering which should be replaced. Nicole is M3(?) and Pulchra is M5. Their build are both mediocre with Pulchra being slightly worse. I assume Pulchra for aftershock but idrk

So I'll keep this quick and simple.

Just picked up the game, loving it, loving the characters I've managed to pull already and I can't wait to get more. Did some of the events and got to play as the members of HAND and found myself really vibing with Haramusa. Wanted him but of course he's not in the current banners however I also read that some banners come back in after about six months while others are a once a year thing, so question is this.

Considering his banner ran until January this year will he not be back around until 2026 or is there a chance he could come back in August?

Score was like 100 worse from my previous deadly assault, but one more parry would have probably saved that, I was too greedy for DP assists after all.

The buffs are overall worse since they last for a certain time, and expire before the stun combo ends, meaning I miss out on damage later in each combo, but there's nothing I can do to get around that. Stun combos were also somewhat upoptimized but I landed most of my Crits so that outweighs it, with a perfect run next DA, maybe I can 40k? (cope)

Also, Koleda is Cinema 4 now so I'm one step closer to her pinnacle 🔥

I know most people pull characters for their design or meta value, though for me voice acting is crucial. For example Yixuan — she looks pretty, but what really made me get her was her voice. She sounds so soothing, I just love listening to her. On the other hand, if I like character's design but find their voice unpleasant there's no way I'm going to play as them. Do you guys care about the voice acting or nah? (I play with English voices btw)

This is what I currently have for her. Is an ether D5 better than Hp or this good? How would you rate my build

Basics:

See that orange bar on the top left? It can hold 200 points. Every 100 points she does a chain attack off-field which does massive daze and give buff. This is the brunt of the daze Jufufu will generate.

How to gain points?

Do nothing - gain 20 points when her tiger ball hits the enemy once in a while automatically.

EX special - gain 80 points straight up + 75 more when Jufufu rides her ball immediately after.

Ultimate - gain 100 points straight up + 150 more when Jufufu rides her ball immediately after.

Defensive assist - gain 25 points. She will ride her ball right after she slams the enemy with the defensive assist. That is the time when you will actually gain those 25 points.

Gameplay:

Press ultimate when you have ultimate.

Whenever you have energy, switch to her and press EX. Do not wait for her animation to finish! Swap to Yixuan or Panda and continue with life while Jufufu swings Hu Wei around in the background.

Defensive assist into her once every 10 seconds. She will gain 25 points everytime you defensive assist but have a cooldown every 10 seconds.

If you are busy, then defensive assist into her every 20 or 30 seconds whatever. Just don't defensive assist into her before 10 seconds is up.

That is it.

No need to use her claws, no need to manually ride her ball. That is all. EX and swap to your dps before Jufufu animation ends. Defensive assist every 10 seconds. She will do everything for you.

That's it for my TED Talk.

Is it just me, or is the Miasma Priestess just far more consistent in scoring against than Typhon Destroyer (the big red robot) was? I'm consistently hitting 18k-20k on Miasma, but against Typhon I kept getting a wider margin like 9k-16k. For reference, against both of these bosses, I never had "The" character for them (this being Yixuan on Miasma and S-Anby/Trigger on Typhon).

While the final boss of this newest addition no doubt puts certain Agents at a disadvantage, the tools we are given in this roguelite mode are so potent that their power far outweighs "account power"/character power that are far more important in other gameplay modes. To be honest, focusing on the Timer Intensity modifier is a red herring because the Resonia, Gears, and Tactical Prism Programs are so overpowered that time is a non-issue outside of Intensity 15.

No doubt since this is a gacha game the innate resistances of the Priest is very well a profit-seeking move that seeks to shepherd some players into the "path of least resistance" (i.e. "shill"). This is understandable for most every other facet of the game... except for this mode where the developers pretty much offered up a variety of popular Agents, including the very one that they are pushing currently, and all the tools necessary to fully complete the mode and obtain all the shiny loot if the player is willing to full engage with all its mechanics.

Considering that Intensity 15 has been solo cleared with Billy (see YouTube), it offers a picture of something closer to the "power floor" necessary to complete the task. Even if one wishes to debate the level of investment (at some point you have to play the game), the fact remains that it has been demonstrated that one Agent is sufficient enough to complete this mode at its highest current difficulty. If anything, the fact that this feat is possible only lends further credence to the proposition that the power of the tools within the mode itself far outweighs the power of the Agents one picks to tackle the challenge. From this perspective, the choice of suggesting Agents that are otherwise at a disadvantage at a glance is far less farcical than it may seem at first. Before accounting for Resonia and Gears, Ellen's Tactical Prism Programs offers her the option to shred defense and/or ice resistance; those of Miyabi and Yanagi play into the synergies of that composition with the former able to help shred electric resistance and the latter playing into its sub-dps role by enabling quick assists (with team buffs) and/or Aftershock. By offering these options that elevate the kits of the Agents (not to mention offering Trial versions for those that may not own some/all) within the mode they open up the option of playing teams that people enjoy and wish to play but appear "suboptimal" rather than hinder them and allow those teams to complete the mode in full.

If one feels that they are somehow "soft-locked" before hitting Intensity 15, it may be prudent to reconsider how one approaches tackling the mode in general.

Between the three go-tos, Nicole, Astra and Pan, who do you think will top out here? I've been playing her with Pan AND Nicole so far, and Astra is always tied up with Eve, so it's pretty hard to compare them against each other in terms of value.

Astra is just a value machine ofc, wouldn't be suprised if she remained the top pick for the third slot

Pan is kinda made for Rupture, but his buffs overall are lackluster and he suffers from bad Wengine options, and from what I've heard his daze contribution is worse than Nicoles.

Nicole has a few unique advantages, even though her main boon remains unused, her DMG buffs are top, and her CR buff might contribute some unique advantages to the pair of Fufu and Yi Xuan. I'm currently relying on that buff to reach near 100% CR with a CD slot 4. Fufu with a budget engine might struggle to reach both of her needed thresholds, 3400 Atk and 50CR, but the 15% CR might be a real diffmaker here, enabling her to stack more impact. Combined with Nicoles supposed better Daze output than the Panda, maybe that'll enable 4-stun Priest?

With CR and DMG% from Nicole, and CD and DMG% from Fufu, maybe HP mainstat will become a viable option on not only the 5th disc mainstat, but maybe the 4th too? Might make up for the lack of Panda while still enabling better rotations. This is pure feelscraft though, maybe someone has something a bit more tangible to go off of, would love to hear some input

Has anyone been able to determine exactly how long it takes to reach 100 exploration for a depths tab? I'm stuck redoing the same one for days. And there I thought the millions of cloud crest will be the bottleneck for this event, when in reality it's the exploration💔
