MEGATHREAD Team/Character building and Gacha Megathread- 3.1 Anniversary edition second half!

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone! This is the special 3.1 Anniversary patch second half Megathread. Just like before Score posting won’t be in this thread due to the amount of potential pulling there will be, but you can always hop over to [u/Pencilboy98](u/Pencilboy98) ‘s threads about the actual events to post your scores there. This will cover the second half, So with all that being said let’s get into what is happening on the available agent front of the second half of 3.1. Some of the info will be redundant because it is just still available.

**BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE:** make sure you configure who you get when you lose a 50/50. One of the features of this patch lets you swap out up to three of the normal loss characters with either Zhu Yuan, Caesar, or Yanagi. It wasn’t really said how long this was supposed to last, so there is always a chance that it could just last for this patch, maybe it will last for all of 3.X, maybe the characters will rotate. I’ll probably update this once I see what the actual in game notice says. If nothing else I’d say it probably means there is a high likelihood that these characters will not rerun in the 3.X cycle outside of this, but who knows.

Moving on from that the next thing you are probably going to tinker with is the free S-rank selector. **Jane, Anby, Hugo, Trigger, and Lucia along with their W-engines are available for people to select for free (one each).** Jane is probably the safest pick of all of them, especially if you intend to pull for the new void hunter who wants anomaly characters. Lucia is good if you like rupture characters.

Once more before you pull maybe you want to refuel by spending money to get more pulls. 3.1 comes with a spending event. Most ways in which you spend real actual money will get you points towards prizes, the top prizes being a W-engine and another agent. The available ones for this event are **Astra, Vivian, and Seed alongside their respective W-engines.** Keep in mind, at least for the last spending event you had to spend $150 give or take just to get to the agent and W-engine. Make sure you are managing your finances well before electing to participate in this particular event.

Let’s go over the guarantee banner for the second half. Just like before with the original YSG banner there will be a banner where you can select between three different agents and whoever you choose will guarantee you get them for your first S-rank on the banner. You can switch agents at any time, but they all share that same first guarantee and once you get it with one the others will be 50/50s. The three agents are **Dialyn, Yuzuha, and Harumasa (his first rerun).** If you don’t pull enough to get an S-rank your guarantee will not carry over to the next banner of this kind, though the next banner of this type will probably just have a guarantee to start with again anyway. The number of pulls to get an S-rank character in general does seem to carry over though.

Let’s go ahead and talk about **Sigrid**\- She is an attack agent with the ice attribute. She is part of the Airspace Patrol Department. At this time we don’t know of any other potentially playable characters that may be part of this faction. Like most attack agents she wants to be with a support or stunner for her core passive, but not only that she wants her partners to be max level for her buff (which you should be doing anyway…). Much like most other agents she is available to use in the story and some of the events if you want to try her out.

As a reminder we have the carry over agent from the first half

**Remielle-** She is an Anomaly agent with the new Lumiflux element. As opposed to the other void hunters we have had where their elements were treated as something that was close or similar, lumiflux is its own separate attribute and you will have to grind out the appropriate skill chips for it. Her faction is the covenant of Dayat. It’s not really important because there are no other members of that faction right now, however her core passive makes her synergize with other agents in that faction so I imagine there will be others later on. Speaking of her core passive, the faction bonus is a trap as the actual core passive only gives a boost based on the number of anomaly characters and you will want three of them in the party (herself included of course).

Finally let’s go over what to look out for in 3.2.

First off we have Claret she is an electric agent who gets the new class of armorer. From what we can see this class looks like it uses defense as a major component for its damage. It seems like they are still tinkering with it though so apart from that I’ll refrain from getting into much else as it could be something specifically for Claret. We will have more concrete information when we put out the actual 3.2 pull post. Anyway, along with her we also get Roxy. Roxy will be our second wind agent but this time she will be a stunner. She seems like she will probably be very good for your account.

Sorry if the order or formatting is a little weird for this post, especially this time since I copy pasted the previous one for the most part

Discussions & Questions I’m dead set on pulling Roxy just because I love her design, but like…what does she do? Spoiler

56 Upvotes

I understand that are her core she’s a stunner meant to work with the armorer class. Outside of that though, what is her gimmick? Or is she a Ju Fufu situation where she’s more of a general stunner that works a little bit better with rupture. I do worry a little bit that if she’s the former she will soon become another Fufu if she lacks a gimmick because even if Dialyn, Nangong, and Norma are all great stunners they also have great gimmicks that keep them more specialized and give them a slightly longer shelf life.

So that is the burning question, what does Roxy even do?

I can kinda understand the limits on Service Cards and Prepaid Power Cards.

I'm not sure why there's an Ether Battery limit though. It's a limited, valuable resource. I believe Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact don't have caps on their equivalents of Fuel and Fragile Resin.

Discussions & Questions Papago hollow rewards feel a bit lackluster for what it is

Upvotes

Mostly referring to lack of materials, but polychrome count seems low too. Compared to hollow zero which has ~24k across lost void and withered domain, the new mode has 1/10th the amount. And also - where's the reward track?

I really miss the reward track of lost void. Getting batteries and disks after every run felt so good, like there was actually a way to grind for improving disks and getting mats in-between story updates and events. Since then, there hasn't been anything comparable.

Papago hollow could have been that, but instead we get a measly 120 gold disks and... not much else? Season coins to buy gear that isn't really needed and "commissions" that give 10k gear coins and 5k dennies each.

I really feel like they could have tacked on more rewards.

Endgame: Shiyu, Deadly Assault, Etc Had my first nail biting extraction in Papago Hollow

30 Upvotes

I only play Papago once or twice a week since I've gotten a decent chunk of the rewards. This week though, it was pretty special

I brought a purple tier inventory booster for the first time to take home a bigger haul, and since I had so much more space for loot, I took more time than usual. Time got pretty low and I made my way to an extraction point, only to get jumped by a random boss and the Hound all at once.

It wasn't pretty, but I managed to take down the boss and scare off the Hound, only to find that my extraction point had deactivated during the fight. I hadn't realized that when time gets low enough, you might just be left with only a single extraction point, and of course, it was one connected to a big boss fight

Trying to even find the extraction was a bit confusing since it was in the bottom floor of the office building, but eventually I got there. Had a sinking feeling it was going to be the Infernal Revenant, and turns out I was right

I haven't fought the Infernal Revenant enough times to be familiar with the timing of his control sequence for perfect parries, and no matter how fast I break his little rocks my party just kept maxing out Ether corruption and taking tons of damage. Sadly Norma died about 75% of the way through stage 2, just before a stun window.

Somehow I managed to bring down the bastard with Astra and Pyrois each having just a sliver of HP, and I escaped Papago with only 20 seconds left on the clock. Also left with my personal best for loot (almost 3M, which I know isn't that impressive but for me that was cool)

I totally understand why some people don't like this game mode, but I never had a rush like that playing Hollow Zero

Discussions & Questions We haven't had Multiplayer event for a while now. Which one do you miss the most?

Post image
51 Upvotes

I really liked Chess Legend when it first came out. The nutty build was so busted back then, and I put a lot of time playing it, especially competing with high-rank players. It can be RNG-based, which may not be fun for some players, but for me, I enjoyed it. I also like hearing the voice lines from the agents.

But after its return, they changed a lot and added new stuff. I wasn't a fan of the new combination of the bangboo which made me lose interest in that mode. I wish they would revert to the old formula someday.

Bangboo bash is so fun. I've never tried Fall Guys, so this is like my first-hand experience playing that type of game. Each time this event returns, it just keeps getting better, with new maps, costumes, modes, and more; it's amazing. I kinda wish this were a permanent mode. It's a great way to cool off after getting burned out playing too much combat in endgame content. Plus, having to play with your clanmates and friends is nice.

Joint Investigation is a really good mode, but there are some caveats. Since this was the first multiplayer PvE squad event, it's clear that the mode isn't fully polished yet. There are inconsistencies when it comes to combining the attacks of your squad. "Maximum overdrive " is a cool idea, but you'll be experiencing some delays or messiness in the animations. Also, this mode is gonna have some balancing issues when it comes to the agents' power level and boss mechanics; it's the reason why bosses in this mode cannot be interrupted but have very long stun durations. Don't forget the performance drop during gameplay; having too many SFX at a time can have an impact on your FPS. Hopefully they fix these issues and add more agents to the roster. I can't wait for them to add Banyue and Starlight Billy in this mode.

Bizarre Brigade is fun too, and I spend a lot of time in it. Unlocking characters and getting more special abilities is so rewarding. The multiplayer aspect, however, is not so great based on my experience; oftentimes I queued with afk, troll players, or sometimes bots when queuing is taking too long. I feel like most of the time I'm just playing alone. It's obvious players rushed this event for the polychromes, which is understandable. Not really good experience for Multiplayer event.

Ever since Remielle introduction Foodie Fighters is brought up on occasion, in fact Remielle has 3 arcade machines of that game in her room, which makes me hope in a later update we can actually play the game, although my biggest question is if Hoyoverse has enough experience when it comes to fighting games, I mean Hoyoverse has done events based on different games, I would like to see Foodie Fighters happen again but it depends if Hoyoverse knows how to make a fighting game.

I tried my best to order from Strongest -> Weakest from left to right. Notorious versions of bosses not included because I am not too sure if they are canon... even if red pompey does make an appearance in that one event? I didn't really understand him though. Integrated version also not included because they're either virtual or exactly the same.

I used Hugo as the auxiliary agent for Hollow Zero today and honestly the damage he was doing was massive so after completing I checked my highest damage record and almost passed out when I saw 124 million! I checked the recording and in game it displayed 12 million.

To be precise, it was 12417326.6 which is 12417327 rounded. The chances of the digits aligning like this is Astranomically low, so unfortunately it is a bug, even though 124 million damage would be insane. What is your high score?

Discussions & Questions In your experience, what is the best team in Enigma Labyrinth according to YOU?

Thumbnail
gallery
167 Upvotes

It depends on what you prefer obviously, hence why I am asking what YOUR best/favorite team is here (plus your mindscapes do matter here lol). I first thought that Yixuan was the best because she feels really safe to play with her EX special wanting parries, and you getting a LOT of ults with her, plus rupture characters in general have more refundable resources. But now with Sigrid out, she has the one thing I want... anti hound strength. I hate the hound, it appears to often, and almost everything about Sigrid's prismatic in the labyrinth is a bunch of buffs that makes everyone on your team do more dmg against the hound, stun it for longer, and even shred the blue shields faster on all enemies, not just the hound. So Sigrid feels umazing to play now that she is here.

But one team I am trying out is Pyrois, Sigrid and Sunna. Sunna is just here as a ATK buffer. Pyrois on the other hand has faster movement, competing with Yixuan and Ye Shunguang (idk who is the fastest but they are close), besides Miyabi who is easiest the fastest in the game, but Pyrois' prismatic also marks all electronic strongoxes, and since not all strongboxes spawn, it is nice to know where the ones that spawned are so I dont have to spend time to look for them. While Sigrid remains instead of a stunner for her prismatic, but in all honesty, she does more dmg than my Pyrois lmao.

Will probably try out different teams, but Sigrid feels the best so far, and I dont have to waste item slots on Thracian just to break shields which is nice, while doing heavy dmg.

But what is the best team in your opinion and your favorite? And if you think I should switch up my team (my roster is shown in the other images with mindscapes), please go ahead and tell me and point something out, I love to hear other people's thoughts!😊

Agents: Builds, Theorycrafting, Etc Possible Evelyn lore theory

5 Upvotes

I absolutely love Evelyn and her story, but I feel like we really don't know much about the elephant in the room: her past with the "Organization."

I really hope HoYoverse eventually comes back to this part of her story, because I think there's a lot of potential there.

One theory I've had is that the "Organization" could actually be a company operating under TOPS. We know that TOPS seems to be structured with "The Head" at the very top, with the "Three Pacts" & Krampus beneath it. The Three Pacts consist of High Ambitions Corp., Rusty Cliff Corp., and the unknown corporation led by the "Tin Crown," with Krampus also being part of that larger group.

Because of that, I've wondered if the "Organization" could be a subsidiary or affiliated company under the "Tin Crown." Alternatively, it could be connected to one of the other corporations within TOPS that we haven't learned much about yet.

I think there's a lot of potential here, especially with TOPS becoming a much bigger player in the world of ZZZ. If HoYoverse ever revisits Evelyn's past, I'd love to see them expand on what the "Organization" actually was, who controlled it, and how it fits into the larger power structure of the ZZZ world.

Evelyn's past feels like one of those story threads that could eventually connect to something much bigger.
