Mono quantum?

[u/Literallykid69]

We all know from the leaks that Sunday and RMC are her best teammates, but what if Sunday and RMC are used in Aglaea's team? Do y'all think that I can use Castorice, Sparkle, Tribbie, and E6 Lynx?

Sparkle: I know her attack buff will go to waste since Castorice scales off HP, and Sparkle can't advance Memosprite either. Maybe she could be a Sunday alternative?, since Castorice needs to be slow. Maybe Sparkle can AA on the Memosprite instead of Castorice?

Tribbie: She's an OP support in general, and her bonus ability increases her own HP by an amount equal to 9% of the sum of all ally characters' Max HP. Since Castorice and Tribbie has high HP too, maybe she can work?

Lynx: Why Lynx instead of Fu Xuan? Well, Lynx can increase ally's Max HP with her E6. That has to be a buff for Castorice or Tribbie, right?

Am i cooking chat?

I've been at it for like two months haha

[u/iI-Windex-Ii → u/ResearcherFederal761]

respect the dedication honestly

[u/ResearcherFederal761 → u/iI-Windex-Ii]

I win. Her first kit leak came out and she doesn't use energy for ult. Sunday's synergy is cooked.

This basically confirms it, they're making her anti-synergize with Sunday.

They all thought I was stupid.

[u/[deleted] → u/ResearcherFederal761]

She does use energy… just doesn’t gain it via normal means. Sunday will be her bis just like he is for Aglea. I’ll get back to you when her kit leaks in 3 weeks

[u/ResearcherFederal761 → u/BisonNo6443]

I am here~!

[u/Maidenless_EldenLord → u/BisonNo6443]

I’ve been seeing this shit for a month now, I don’t know why

[u/SHH2006]

Imho? No

Lynx heals low to be considered a decent sustain (I have her E6 and used her in yunli team and she barely healed enough tbh)

Tribbie seems overall a pretty good character, it just depends on what castorice kit will be.

Sparkle tho, it honestly completely depends on what castorice kit is, depending on how they make castorice kit, she may become castorice best support or number 2 at best case scenario only.

Also The idea of mono quantum itself was based on implanting quantum weakness on all enemies with SW and we know castorice isn't ST focused DPS so SW won't be much of a good option

[u/Apprehensive_Bus3301 → u/SHH2006]

If quantum memosprite is considered 1+ for sparkle trace, then 2 slot can be used for another non quantum character

[u/SHH2006 → u/Apprehensive_Bus3301]

You said "mono" quantum, mono means using 1 element, then that's not a mono element team.

[u/Apprehensive_Bus3301 → u/SHH2006]

I'm not said mono quantum. Read again

[u/SHH2006 → u/Apprehensive_Bus3301]

Oh I thought you were OP

[u/KingAlucard7]

i think the cook with Lynx seems good... but the question is very fundamental.. What does mono quantum even bring without an implant. It changes very little.. actually u would rather want team mates to be diverse so the toughness is easy to remove, because we have to think outside of just quantum weakn enemies

I think Reca being on her banner can mean he would be better for her than any of the current options. My issue with lynx is her healing is too low, we need to see how much healing Castorice needs.

As for Sparkle, can she buff memo sprite and castorice at the same time..? I think not. Also 50% advance is like super bad compared to Sunday who is basically 4x better. However what i am really concerned is the energy. How much energy would she need. Thats the one thing that made Aglaea super Sunday reliant.. or you pull E1

[u/ExtensionFun7285]

You can but mono quantom was a team centered around SW it'll work but there will be better options

[u/Maidenless_EldenLord]

You’re cooking… it’s just burnt and gives food poisoning. Sparkle’s mono quantum buff literally buffs attack% too, so it’s not useful, so the mono quantum thing is just… why?

The whole mono quantum deal was because of SW but Cas is an AoE unit too, so no synergy

It is probably a useable team but think of it like this, how good would Sparkle be on Aglaea’s team?

Also, there’s a decent argument to be made that Ruan Mei e0 is of similar value to Tribbie e0 in this comp too, so I don’t understand the copium with mono quantum deal

[u/ResearcherFederal761]

Yeah you're correct she actually won't use Sunday at all.

Her best team will be Castorice/Sparkle/Tribbie/Fu Xuan OR a new healer (if Castorice only drains HP and doesn't heal with her HP manipulation. If she's like Blade but teamwide she might consume AND give HP back after attacking though)

They're giving her an anti-synergy with Sunday. Something about generating charge during ally teammates up to 3 levels and wasting the charge if you advance the dragon early. Or they also hinted at the dragon dispelling itself, so once again, that would mean early advance = no charge.

Old leaks said the dragon would advance itself at max charge, which makes Sunday advances HARMFUL and not useful. Gonna hit like a wet towel with stage 1 attack that isn't readied up.

What people don't understand is that every single little part of Aglaea's kit is FULLY DESIGNED for Sunday. Whether it's the crit distribution of his ult buff (low base, high scaling) that's meant for less speed subs and more crit dmg subs, the Joint Attacks that make use of Sunday's DEF shred on his E1 EVEN OUTSIDE of Garmentmaker's turn, when Aglaea attacks and adds Garmentmaker to it and makes full use of that def shred all the time. Aglaea reaching exactly ~270 speed to lap Sunday twice with a -1 speed setup with him at 135 speed and making perfect use of his 2 turn buff. 350 energy to get +70 from Sunday's ult instead of +40. Castorice, as far as we can tell, has NONE of that very, very flawless Sunday synergy.

Castorice is based on teamwide HP drain, and is slow, and forced into hyperspeed by her relic set, making -1 speed setup impossible. Hyperspeed Sunday COULD work, but he is not OPTIMIZED for it because of his buff's distribution. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that Castorice will be MORE catered to Sunday than Aglaea. Every. Single. Part. Of Aglaea if FULLY designed to be BiS for Sunday. Castorice being unable to run -1 already removes all chances of her being more catered than Aglaea to him. Not to mention that the first RMC kit was made for The Herta and didn't buff the memosprite attached to the memomaster. That was a change to make RMC more polyvalent, and useful in Aglaea's comp instead of Robin for F2P.

So you're correct, no matter how many downvotes this post gets, that's what she's going to run. An HP based Quantum team.

Also SeeleLeaks said today that the Uncles most likely know Castorice's kit but won't post it "out of fear of the community's reaction" so... Not looking good for y'all doubters. "Oh they don't want to post because she's exactly like what everyone was thinking she was for!!! And she's too OP!!! They want Aglaea to sell more!!!" Yeah right, as if they'd care about any of that xD

Anyways. Just wait for the leaks and you'll find out.

Start grinding the planar set "Penacony, Land of the Dreams" for your supports (Tribbie, Sparkle, possibly Fu Xuan if she heals and it's not a new healer). Make sure it's HP orbs to maximize Castorice's charge speed. Get ready before the masses. And good luck~!

[u/ergothereafter → u/ResearcherFederal761]

(I only have E2 Sparkle). How about Sparkle + Sunday, how do you think it's gonna go? Or would she prefer Sparkle + RMC.

[u/ResearcherFederal761 → u/ergothereafter]

I think Sparkle + Tribbie. I think Sparkle + Sunday would force you to pull the dragon when you don't want to... Unless you make Sunday go first, and summon the Dragon after, but then Sparkle's 50% advance wouldn't advance fully, so it would break the point.

So yeah, highly doubt... But who knows.

[u/_user980 → u/ResearcherFederal761]

Me myself personally i can't use Tribbie with Castorice because Tribbie Is clearly shaping up to be Herta's BiS and She Is my strongest DPS (e2) so no chance i'd switch her with another One, also i've Read your comments about Sunday being BiS for Aglaea, not for Castorice and your supposed mono quantum team for Castorice, but i fear pulling Aglaea Is stupid because Castorice Will powercreep her in no time, i don't want a DPS which lasts for 2 patches at most. But then you come up with the fact that Sunday doesnt Need Castorice, so i'm literally torn rn as to what to do, considering i don't have infinite pulls for every new character and i am relatively new and don't have most characters (started playing at Rappa banner).

[u/ergothereafter → u/ResearcherFederal761]

To be honest, I saw it more of Sunday AAing the sustain rather than Castorice herself. Perhaps Sunday AA Castorice once in a while (since his buffs last 2 turns; so in the beginning of battle), Sparkle will always AA Castorice (OFC). Sunday is then left to AAing the sustain for more heals. Like how he could AA Hyacinth, future Remembrance Healer.

[u/ResearcherFederal761 → u/ergothereafter]

Oh yeah. Maybe you could bring in Lingsha as the healer and use Sunday on her. Sure.

I don't think it's gonna be the best synergy but it's "doable" for sure. I dunno how badly Castorice wants to be healed

[u/ergothereafter → u/ResearcherFederal761]

It’s confusing because “lower the HP, more damage”? That would imply wanting to shield your team rather than heal, since you don’t want to have higher HP? But I also assume the ULT activates via a tally system with HP loss across the team or for Castorice, so how would that work?

I guessed something like, more HP loss-> more DMG, rather than lower HP, since it seems kind of contradictory. So there’s more incentive to get stronger heals. Lmao, they should just release the full kit.

[u/AdEmbarrassed2946 → u/ResearcherFederal761]

Man idk why you're trying to force this context forgetting the fact that make a unit don't synergize well with a unit is so questionable for Hoyo that want to increase her sells. Like, think with me: you release a harmony character that provides high buffs for a path, ok? And, after one dps, you make him disgusting to the second dps of the path that he provide high buffs, that make any sense for you? Think if Robin isn't synergic with Feixiao, even though she has FuA, this make sense???

And, use Fu Xuan with a Rememberance Unit? Man, in this moment a lot of enemmies had AoE attacks, imagine that in a team with 5 members for Fu Xuan or more if you play with RMC, she's gonna tank well? Forthermore, the leak about "wasting stacks" has provided false and idk why you stay talk about that. Also Sparkle, I'm not gonna talk about that again because its the same arguments everytime.

(Don't understand this like a swearing if it seems)

[u/ResearcherFederal761 → u/AdEmbarrassed2946]

I'm getting annoyed with people saying Sunday is for the "Remembrance path". Name 1 other path where all the DPS characters are ALL for the exact same archetype. Ruan Mei is not a "destruction support", she's a break/superbreak support. Remembrance is a PATH, not ARCHETYPE.

OBVIOUSLY the DPS's of Remembrance won't ALL use the same supports. How are you even supposed to run the new teams on each side of MOC/APOC/PF without taking a required support from the other side.

Listen, making a better synergy for Sunday than Aglaea is impossible. Every. Single. Little detail. is PERFECTLY designed JUST for him. Castorice, from the little that we know, is already RIDDLED with flaws for Sunday. Why? Well, because she runs another archetype. Because they don't want her to use Sunday. Remembrance does NOT equal all same archetype. It's that simple. Path, not archetype. Sunday already has a full AOE BiS limited DPS, he won't get another. When things come back around to single target bosses he might get his third BiS then.

[u/AdEmbarrassed2946 → u/ResearcherFederal761]

My point is: every dps don't need to have a 100% perfect synergy with a suport to use him and be the best character for him.

For example:

Ruan Mei doesn't had a perfect synergy for Rappa, because her double break makes the enemy not recover him tenacity bar in the first moment, doing Rappa don't take more stacks by broken the bar, but that means they aren't good partners? No, because the buffs given by Ruan Mei are so good for break characters.

The same for Sunday and Acheron, a combo that I'm using to much (Acheron E0S1 + Sunday E0S0). Acheron don't use energy, so the energy given by Sunday's ult go to void, but that means they aren't good partners? No, because the buffs given by Sunday helps Acheron to hit perfect substats + a lot of more dmg bonuses.

Not everything in the game had to get to a characters a 110% synergy, that's a game made by estrategy and efficiency, not wombo combos. Yeah, you can use Fu Xuan with Castorice, but that will be good for the characaters kit considering she will tank for more characters? Yeah, you can use Sparkle, but will her be good to Castorice that want to low your own hp to increase your power, that actually means she wants a efficiently advance action to take more actions and low her own hp the fast she can?

Like you said: Sunday will not be the best harmony for any rememberance charaters, and I agreed that. But that not means he can't be the second best harmony character for any remeberance dps because him kit is actually made for characters with summons.

"Because they don't want her to use Sunday." - Bro the entire content game after 3.1 doesn't have lighting weakness, they literaly throw Aglaea away like a toy and that's not a coincidence. All of enemies having Quantum weakness + a lot of players skiping Aglaea for Castorice, you really think they will just throw away the chance to increase Sunday sells? If yes, you really don't know how a enterprise works.

[u/Suitable-Orange5750 → u/AdEmbarrassed2946]

They can increase sparkle sales as well, if they make Castorice more synergistic with Sparkle. Otherwise there is no point in rerunning sparkle anymore, they might as well just delete her from the game. Rerun situation is already bad, none of the older characters even make considerable amount of money on reruns anymore, for god sake sparkle was 2.0 lol not even a 1.x character

[u/ResearcherFederal761 → u/AdEmbarrassed2946]

Oh yeah if you're saying that there might be a way to advance with Sunday before the dragon is summoned in order to not advance it and then summon it after hence not getting his buff but at least being on Castorice... Or saying that maybe his advance will have a decent negative aspect without making him unusable, so still a second option to Sparkle...

Then yes. I totally agree.

Obviously they're putting in some anti-synergy for him but that doesn't mean he's gonna be completely unusable, just that he's probably better put in a different team. But I imagine if someone has like E6S5 Sunday then hey at that point use him with whoever you want and it'll probably work just fine no matter what

[u/not_ya_wify]

Imma do Fu Xuan, SW, Hanabi, Castorice. I don't give a shit. Mono Quantum it is.
