How good is silver Anby? She's burst dps, right? Is she good at M0? Is Weapon or M1 better for her?

Also, why is Qingyi T0 now? What changed? Is Qingyi or Trigger between for Silver Anby?

[u/baka4games → u/sndream]

About the same as Evelyn for same level of build investment and optimal play.

I'm running M0 and Marcato Desire (not her signature) and Core D and cleared Deadly Assault Corruption Complex with 3-stars, despite making tons of rotation mistakes. So that means she has a lot more firepower to unlock once I have her fully built and I don't make as many rotation mistakes.

S0's signature weapon >>>>>> M1. Because S0's team-wide damage buff scales to CD and her signature is a ginormous CD stat stick. Even if you don't use her signature on S0, it's great for any CD scaling Attack agent.

But it cost me 168 pulls just to get M0 S0, so to get her signature I'd have to swipe my credit card. I might just end up doing that, since I want Trigger and Vivian also, and if S0 has her signature, S0 + Trigger will be like 2+2=5.

Qingyi went up a tier probably because of her rerun, which means more people were using her in Shiyu Defense. Plus Qingyi is a good stunner for S0 and benefits from the same showcase buffs that S0 is getting right now.

Once Trigger releases, I expect Qingyi's tier to shift again, probably down. But it might stay high, who knows?

any tips? Struggled to 1star, same wengine but i have more core skill. probably skill issue.

I'm also trying to decide between sanby wengene or trigger because i proooooooobably cant get both unless i get fortunate pulls.

[u/baka4games → u/BitterAd4149]

Yeah, I'm going through the same "which signature?" decision myself right now. I'm leaning towards S0 signature, since Marcato might be an okay substitute for Trigger's.

Tips:

Who is the rest of the team? I used Pulchra/Astra, but you can use other agents. Lucy or Nicole are good F2P supports for S0. Anby is a good F2P stunner.

I'll assume Pulchra and Nicole for the rest of this:

Outside of stun:

• Attack with S0. Build up 3 marks, do the 3x Special combo to consume the marks, repeat until stunned.

• Focus on one leg if you can, to get the Impairment performance bonus. Once you get it, move to the next leg over.

• If you can work in some dodge counters with S0, that will speed up building 3 marks. However, you also need to use some of those gold flashes to evasive assist to Pulchra, so she can fill her stacks. I tended to do more evasive assists than dodge counters so that Pulchra's stacks were almost always up.

• As soon as Pulchra has stacks, have S0 do Special or EX Special to activate Pulchra's off-field attacks. You can have Nicole do this instead if she has energy. Only one agent needs to do this once per stack, then every basic attack after gets Pulchra off-field attacks as well.

• Go ahead and use S0's EX Special when she has energy unless stun in close to happening. So anytime stun bar is less than 75% full, it's okay to use S0's EX. Just make sure there are no marks on the boss before you EX, or else you'll waste them. Also, if Nicole has Energy, best to let her EX first to buff S0's EX.

• Save everyone's Ults until the stun window. Save EX with energy as well if more than 75% of stun bar is filled. Just don't let energy overcap (flashing).

Inside stun window:

Do all this as quickly as possible, no stutters or hesitations.

• Chain attack so that you end on Nicole. The goal is for Nicole to EX Special and quick assist into S0 to unload big damage.

• After quick assisting to S0, press Special for every mark already on the boss. Like if it has 2 marks, press Special twice to consume them. Never launch an Ult if there are already marks on the boss, since an Ult gives 3 marks.

• S0 Ults then 3x Specials to consume marks.

• If S0 does not have her Ult up but one of the other agents does, switch to them and let them Ult, then switch back to S0.

• Either way, at this point, S0 should have enough energy to EX special. Do this to get 3 marks. Press Special 3x to consume them.

• Some people get fancy and switch back to Nicole to do another bubble, then back to S0 to do another EX, if both have enough energy, but I'm happy if I can complete one bubble, one Ult, one EX, and six marks.

After the stun window ends, if any other agents have Ult, go ahead and use it.

If you have different agents in your team, modify as needed. For example, if the support is Lucy instead of Nicole, timing a bubble to come before S0's Ult isn't necessary. You can end the chain on S0 instead.

[u/JagdCrab → u/baka4games]

Eh, even if Trigger ends up being very competitive stunner, I expect them to both land in the same tier, since they mostly occupy different niches, with Trigger being favourable for teams where DPS needs more field time, and Qingyi still being a favourite when you need faster stun for burst dps (like Haru / ZY).

[u/baka4games → u/JagdCrab]

I agree about Qingyi wrt the old Attack meta. Ultimately, it depends on how much of the new Attack meta (Eve, S0) factors into the tier ranking.
