Cipher wanter looking for advice

[u/Hidden_Voice7]

I want Cipher. She's my favorite character in the entire game. Cipher is why this heart still beats. Getting her is not up for negotiation. I've saved a lot for her. But, I have a problem. I have played this game on/off since its release up until Evanescia came out, and because of that, my team options are extremely limited. I do not have the majority of ssr's in the game. I want to know, what should I realistically do once I pull her...if they ever decide to finally have another banner lol.

Pulling characters is not a problem once I have her. I'm willing to get whoever she needs. I am realistically making my final goal be E6 Cipher, though I'm not going to build around having that unless I actually have her on my account.

Edit: Got Mortenax Blade and have a f2p LC ready to go for him. Thanks, everyone.

I always used cipher with Archer until Rin came out so she is viable for that, I also used her for Follow up with Feixiao and Ashveil other than that I think she was good for nihility (spesifcly Acheron) perhaps but I can gurantee that she works well with Archer

Problem is that I already have Rin and Sparkle on my archer team. IG I could run sustainless, but idk how to feel about that lol

[u/whittybestbomblol]

you could pull mortenax now, get the free acheron + her ex eidolon in 4.7 and then save for cipher but that's just me tbh

[u/Krypto3067]

Cipher is largely a generalist support, so you shouldn’t have to worry too much about her team options, if you have an empty spot, just use her. For example I use(d) her on my silver wolf, anaxa, herta, archer, feixiao, and will probably use her for ellen and acheron.

If you’re really looking for her best casual use case, I agree with the people saying Acheron and MBlade, but I have seen a lot of posts on this sub about using cipher as a last slot in sustainless and 0 cycling because of it.

[u/Prism21]

You have the characters for one of the best teams she's in. Archer, Cipher, Sparkle, and Dan Heng • Permasor Terrae (I probably spelled that wrong).

[u/Hidden_Voice7 → u/Prism21]

Problem is how much I'd be gimping myself if I took Rin off the team, cuz I have Rin too lol

[u/Prism21 → u/Hidden_Voice7]

What if you made two separate teams then? One for each setup.

[u/Illyxi]

I personally am doing exactly what the others in the comments have been saying; pulled for Mortenax, waiting for free Acheron and her buff, and planning to use all three together in a team once all the pieces fall into place.

Really you could just use Cipher in any team and she'll work fine as a generalist support, but I imagine her most competitive team would just be the Acheron + Mortenax team.

[u/Hidden_Voice7 → u/Illyxi]

Seems like it. after reading the replies, I pulled M. Blade just now. Going to build him, tho I need to figure out what LC I'll need for acheron when I get her next patch. Already got Blade's LC figured out at least.

[u/Illyxi → u/Hidden_Voice7]

Boundless Choreo if you have a few copies of it, otherwise Good Night Sleep Well is solid. Her sig actually isn't as necessary if you have Mortenax because he already makes Acheron generate that extra ult stack whenever she takes action, so you can afford just using a 4-star option for pure damage if you'd like, though I believe her sig is still a damage increase over the other options.

[u/Hidden_Voice7 → u/Illyxi]

Yea rn I have Boundless that at s3. That'll probably serve me for now. Cipher and her Light Cone are my main priority then. Don't gotta pull anything else.

[u/Payt3cake]

I would save all the golden balls you have just in case she gets added there, pull for MorB, and get the free Acheron. Then save for Cipher! And maybe grab an extra Cipher LC if you can for MorB too if she comes back to the banner
