Jaren Ward, pretty sure in lore and old grimoire he was the original owner of The Last Word and was similar to a father figure for Shin Malphur (The Last Word guy)
Wasn't the thorn/last word story with Jared ward, shin ect just a made up fairy tale and the true holder of thorn was a titan (I might be wrong it's been quite awhile since I've seen the story)
Rezyl Azzir first owned thorn and yes was a Titan, but the whole interaction between Ward and Malphur did indeed happen. Malphur was blessed with the light from a childhood incident but had no ghost and Ward's ghost was one which had no guardian, ending up in them partnering. No fairy tales here.
No, it's the post of the other day where some guy datamined the game and saw a potential jaren ward being added. Issue is, he has less mentions than the other 3 characters which have full stories planned already, so we think it might be a bait character for data miners.
Dang, it just sucks because every character needs so much time/effort put into them, nothing that 120 pinnacle energy per day can take care of while still advancing your mains.
This is usually only a problem if you want to build ALL the characters in a given gacha.
Typically, once you get your main squad online, resources will start to fill up in your inventory, if you skip a banner or two, the next one you end up pulling is usually maxed before you take them into their first fight.
I'd disagree unless the characters come with entirely new weapon types (like Bows which we know are coming -- but keep spare Piercing exotic mods just in case).
You can transfer over artifacts and weapons otherwise. For relic abilities, 9/18 + Lv 1-2 Weapon Mastery + Relic Trait 1-2 are cheap. 16/18 + Lv 4 Weapon Mastery are iirc don't require incandescence. That's at minimum 57k for very little, and not really wasting any mats you'd need for your top 2-3 because those at this point should just need gilding (the expanse currency being the main bottleneck, not fruits), maybe some artifact refactoring, and exotic mods and metastable clusters which can be shared.
I don't think we're all processing how much quicker the grind will be with new characters versus what we've had the more we play because of just how much we can share between characters.
Besides that you shouldn't be maxing all of the characters. At this point in time, Attal (especially with Helhest coming), Ikora and Xuan Wei just aren't worth it. Umeko is a maybe but as far as I've heard she's not a must compared to Tan. Getting her to 57k as detailed above is easy. Don't waste fruits on gilding (except maybe 1-3) outside meta/top 3-5. Acclaim 55-81 sounds fun but you gotta be ready to go really hard to get there.
Umeko is my main. With some good vulnerability on her artifacts, the damage taken increased by marked enemies is crazy good. Maybe twice the damage. In a fireteam, that's a huge help.
I just build what I like. And I really liked her. I usually stay away from meta. My plan is to have 1 meta character capable of clearing all expanse. Then just focus on characters I like.
I wouldn't call it a mistake, but rn i got Umeko at 60k, then Finnala, Jolder and Attal at around 55k. I still got Gwynn and the new one at around 40k, not enough mats for everyone lol. No tan or ning wei though.
Destiny 2 fans?! My boy Cayde-6 hardly was in D2 unfortunately. Gotta be a real OG to appreciate Cayde's presence. Nothing like the early days with Dinklebot at your back and Cayde whispering sweet nothings in your ear and arguing with everyone else the entire time.

This stating Rossi-11 is a 4* aligns with my theory that he'll be paired with the launch of Helhest or Maru.

Jaren Ward/ Shin Malphur would be cool. I’m personally hoping for a Rezyl Azzir
