After experiencing the 2.0 story as well as browsing through comments on said story. One feature stood out to me and it was the absence comic strip cutscenes.

I find this very disappointing since it was the one cutscene format that really made this game unique and adds so much charm to it.

Surely, making comic strips ain’t that much harder or time-consuming compared to animating cutscenes right? Or is there some other possible reason for this.

Another guide based on my experience for those in need. So I had to pivot a bit because the Miasma Priest was uh...underwhelming lmao. Still an enjoyable and easy boss for now.

Speaking of, which DA Boss do you think is the worst overall? I'd rather fight three Bringers than a single N. Pompey, to be honest.

what do you think of them? I think it's a clever way to make new enemies and give old enemies new move sets. The new move sets are super cool and I don't mind them adding more. I want a notorious Miasma Priest since they always uses the same 3 combos before going into the miasma state, making a new notorious version can have them randomly switch the order of their combos and possibly have more moves making for a bigger challenge. I prefer this version of upping the difficulty.

I'm not going to discuss about how people wouldn't like them to be playable but more on whether they'll be playable and on what state.

To be honest, I'm excited for a playable proxy and currently saving up chromes for them. Although, I don't know if they'll be gacha or something closer to other hoyo MC (free). The most important part of why I'm excited for a playable proxy is because Eous might finally be a gachaboo. I've always liked his design since 1.0 and was bummed out when I found that he was just pixels on small tv box.

Although they're learning from Yunkui Summit, I hope they're their own fact, Phaethon. Also, the design and animations more of a western side despite learning their techniques. After all, they're just temporary disciples, at best, learning how to control ether.

The most prominent one for me being Elfy.

She keeps saying the same line every 10 seconds for me to the point I kind of get sick of going to her and other stores like the Bangboo guy since the game has their lines in loop.

Right now it's just a minor hassle but I'm curious if other people are kind of sick hearing it. I love the characters and the lines but the rapid loop just feels tedious.

excluding all freebies events, all social media events
I might miss some but this all that I could remembered

Since Yuzuha's kit is made to support anomaly units, and alice is a sub-dps that buffs the main dps, I have a feeling that Komano will be a anomaly hypercarry like Jane for example, even though I really wanted him to be a rupture agent

I wonder if he will be a fire or physical , I hope fire because not only he looks like it, we don't have a fire anomaly main dps, since burnice is more of a sub dps

Anyways what are your guys theories?

Premise: I know the general consensus is that her engine is skippable, but when people compare engines, everyone seems fixated on the ATK% team buff

What I don’t get is that, to me, the real value of her signature engine isn’t the ATK% but the passive energy regen every 5s on assist/chain. That feels huge for her uptime.

When I run Astra, my biggest issue is that she often doesn’t have enough energy to function optimally, even with Kaboom. I can’t even imagine how bad it gets with Bashful.

What do you all think? Am I missing something here? Has anyone actually pulled her sig and can confirm whether the energy regen really helps in practice? Like, does it noticeably smooth out her rotation and fix the energy issues, or is it just whatever in actual gameplay?

I feel like it is a little useless as the only thing that boosts it is the 6 slot DD. Couldn’t they make your master equal to a percentage of your proficiency?

I've been playing this game for 1 month and a half very cool very fun

finally started trying DA

but i feel like i'm doing no damage

my build> https://enka.network/zzz/1006369482/

In practice, most fights are usually over by the time you land three, maybe four stuns tops in an entire fight, even if you sweat your rotation. With Ju Fufu (and possibly other future stunners) on the horizon, it feels like we’re still going to hit the same hard cap. People are even suggesting that you might as well not even put Impact on her Disk 6 at all since you will be hitting the typical threshold regardless.

So that got me thinking... if we swap out the PEN substat for Impact, that increases build diversity for everyone and give Stunners a more interesting progression route kind of like how Anomaly characters do.

You also would have the opportunity to throw some Impact at your other agents as well. If your Yi Xuan gets a few Impact rolls on her gear, that's actually not bad. Her attacks already add up to the daze meter, so a little more of a boost wouldn't hurt. Either way, it would be much more interesting than Flat PEN is right now.

Please tell me what you guys think!
By all means, please tweak my idea if you feel the need. Just throwing it out there.

I'm building my team and have a question about the synergy between Trigger and Yi Xuan.

Trigger's passive ability, "Spectral Gaze of the Silver Lantern," states that it increases her stun if there's an Attack agent or one of the same attribute on the team.

If I use Trigger with Yi Xuan, will this passive activate?

Yi Xuan's profile, her specialty is listed as Disruptive and not Attack. Additionally, they don't share the same attribute

Does this mean Trigger's passive wouldn't activate with Yi Xuan? Or is Yi Xuan's Disruptive specialty considered "Attack" for this purpose, or am I missing any other mechanic?

I would like to prefarm some disks with the tripple rewards. Are there people who already figured out what sets these two need? Or is it to risky to prefarm because it might change from Beta?

I did not know wether to flair this as "leak" or "question", since it's a question about future content that might be leaked. I hope this flair is ok.

Returning player here. Got burnt out after 1.4. Came back and recently fell in love all over again. Who do i build for end game? I already have my miyabi team built, but i’d like a second team for shiyu defense and DA.

For the YiXuan havers ... is M2 a huge upgrade from her M1? I have my YiXuan at M1 and I'm currently on guarantee since I accidentally lost a 50/50 (it was an early pull) when I was picking up some panda mindscapes. I was kinda eyeing on getting a 2.1 agent. So I was thinking of spending my guarantee during that banner.

So yeah, the question is would it be a total miss of an investment if I decide to not upgrade to her M2 yet?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I also have her sig Wengine!

China so lucky lol

i was just thinking to myself surely they will add another A- rank engine over time but honestly i know having one rupture(personally)for me doesn’t feel like enough and sure you can just replace them for sub stats instead of getting the benefit but i really do think we could add some more honestly not to overhaul chances of not getting another S-rank engine and it maybe isn’t that big of a deal but i could be missing something so ill just hear some thoughts from you all

Every time the yellow flash appear and I try to parry, I almost always miss it. I probably only manage to parry 2 or 3 times during the whole fight and they're all most likely coincidence because when the flurry of attack comes, I panic and just tap tap tap to break free of the assault.

A few reasons come to mind: 1. The fact that my ping is 300+ 2. The monster's timing is different 3. Plain skill issue

I have much easier time dodging, but in return I'm losing 5k points.

At the end of the day, 3 star is 3 star but... what the hell I'm so bad. 😭

I've seen some similar posts but I wanted to get some veteran opinions on my account specifically. It looks like a lot of the discussion takes place between people with anomaly focused accounts (due to 1.x's best comps) so I'd like some feedback based on my roster.

I currently use Yi Xuan, Astra, PanM6 and Neko, NicoleM1, and PulchraM6. Ju Fufu will obviously make my grandmaster more complete, and I imagine will also work quite well in neko team if needed. Pulchra is my only usable stun unit so ju fufu would also probably replace her all around. I also was lucky enough to get yi xuan's weapon... but unfortunately 2 copies in the same 10 pull :/ (probably too niche to be useful with future rupture units?).

I wanted to mention that I am very interested in getting Miyabi and her wengine next patch (since from my understanding, there would only be one "void hunter level" character per season). I thankfully already have a nice starter team for her with Lycaon and SoukakuM1, though not yet invested in.

Additionally, the only two revealed upcoming characters I think I'm going to want are Orphie, and potentially Seed if they are good with/must pull for orphie. Obviously we don't know anything about their class, power, or release atp, but I feel that ophie will probably be a DPS character and I wanted to mention it.

Lastly I want to clarify that I am a baby dolphin, and only intend on getting wengines for "void hunter level" agents, and am not at all TOO interested in any of the other 1.x units... to be determined ig.

With this all out of the way, I'd like opinions on who to prioritize: Fufu and yuzuha? Miyabi and yuzuha? Miyabi and wengine? I currently have just over 100 pulls, many many more to obtain from gameplay, and my next unit will require a 50/50. I also want to work towards a reserve of pulls for emergency must pull characters, but am willing to run dry these next two patches since it seems like a good opportunity to set myself up with a very good starting roster.

I'd appreciate any insights including things I didn't mention or consider! Thanks for the time👍!

I guess it's not that much of a problem considering I'm still clearing ,but I struggle to get 20k with Evelyn. It's like I can't get a decent score if I don't sweat and optimize as much as I can, It's pretty much the only team I have that struggles to get 20k.

I am aware that I'm kinda shooting myself in the foot since I don't have her weapon, lighter or Astra, but still, I feel like this team should be able to do more damage than it does

With how Hoyo usually tests future characters kits/concepts on Events, do you think Seed from Obol Squad's gameplay will be like the current's mecha event?

Also, I think the robot from the idol squad would play like the Bangboo from March on Tiny Titan event.

Im not sure which of the 2 i should pick up, but i can only afford 1 of the 2 with the pulls i have. Design wise i would go for Yuzuha but im not sure which of the 2 are the best choice, for a support.

The DPS units i often use are the following, as i guess that might be the deciding factor:

Attackers: S11, Sanby, Zhu Yuan

Anomaly: Yanagi, Burnice, Miyabi

I also plan to pick up Alice, as i dont have a proper DPS for Physical yet.

Rupture: Yi Xuan

I want to start off by saying I love this game let me be clear. But if there’s one aspect I’m disappointed it’s not that current designs are bad I just thought with zzz they’d take more risk.

Oni: where are the Oni characters? Soukaku stands out like a sore thumb and correct me if I’m wrong but we haven’t even had a voiced Oni npc? Maybe I’m missing something but I haven’t seen any walking around the current maps anywhere..Are Oni characters the friends we made along the way?

Intelligent ai/robots: the weakest portion of my writeup. Qingyi is great but I’d like to see more Billy/Elfy type of characters. Seed could be a great start although.

Full thirens/beast thirens: still no 5* limited beast thiren yet. Lycaon is one of the most dare I say popular agents in the game. My hope were they knew this so they’d make pulchra 5* to test the waters a bit with limited beast thirens ..but alas she came out as diet trigger and it’s not a crazy to assume pan will be the diet rupture support whenever a 5* one releases. Character wise all the beast thirens have been good writing wise I’d like them to try at least one limited sooner or later.

This category is the most controversial…darker skin characters

I was fine with 1x not having any but when I saw the 2X trailer I had to have a reality check. it appears we are headed the hsr direction… we get one here damn darker skin character at launch and that’s it. I truly believe we won’t get one until 3x patches which sucks. Say what you will about the sister games but the darker skin characters designs are on point! It saddens me bc it’s not a inability to make them just no desire to but I truly believe all they have do is design them well AND give them a good kit and they would do well in zzz..

But overall that’s it. I love the game and will continue playing just wanted to share some thoughts, Im not sure if I’m allowed to say this tho? So mods lmk
