Just test out Firefly in Stimulated Universe and.......umm it doesn't look like she can fully benefit from any path beside a few blessing in Nihility path.

Unless I am overlooking something, there is almost nothing that can greatly increase break/super break damage in this mode which make it hard for her team to run Gold&Gear and Swam Disaster.

EDIT: Oh yeah, there are those hunt and destruction blessing too.

[belatkuro]

Hunt for the action advance blessings. Some Hunt blessings delay enemies after break or restore energy after killing enemies.
Destruction can have some protection blessings and ATK blessings for more Break.

Got Firefly and her LC in 250 pulls, losing 50/50 to E2 Bronya.

She tends to have trouble in areas where she can't use her talent to apply Fire weakness at battle start like Calyces, but once fire weakness she just melts everything in front of her. She probably almost equals Acheron in damage output when factoring how many turns she can get during her Ult phase compared to how long it takes Acheron to build her own.

[Tenzen12]

Acheron can fire it's Ult almost twice per cycle though and you can run her with two more DPS...

At least that's how it goes for me.

Edit: Twice in first cycle, not twice per cycle.

[Liddo-kun]

Looks like everyone has started pulling.
Congrats to those who got what they want.

Pulled as well with my meager resources.
Won the 50/50 in 20 pulls. EU server. Mei is being kind.

[Sacredus]

I won 50/50 on Firefly and hear LC but lost to Yanqing when trying to get E1... Well, there is still a lot of time. This is also 1st time when I really want to get eidolons just because character is fun to play.

Without any spoilers: Penacony story was really good but it turned into visual novel in 2.2 and this continued in 2.3. I hope next arc will be more balanced between cut scenes and actual gameplay.

[Liddo-kun]

forgot to ask this, since there's so much excitement on the first days of new banner.

question to those who watched the short animation for Firefly. The one I linked in the previous page...

Spoiler:

when the fight is over, and it looks like the Propagation has won.

when Firefly tear fell on the ground, and plant grew to give her renewed strength.. was that plant from the Abundance? Or is the plant just her own power?

Spoiler for Firefly:

I think the plant is a metaphor Firefly's mind is seeing, about the promises Glamot made to their Iron Calvary, the dreams she had about her restored home after they won the war, and all the lies the Council used along the brainwashing to manipulate those poor children, after all her mind was breaking from being the sole survivor of that carnage.

If any Aeon would've blessed she must be an Emanator but it makes no sense for The Abundance to bless her, she walks the Path of Destruction, if anything it wouldn't surprise me that she is an Emanator of Destruction, she took out what was left of the planet all by herself! There is no way that Magitek armor is that powerful alone, that was all her!.

[Marina2]

I tried Firefly in the team that is said to be her best team. (Firefly, Ruan Mei, HMC, and Gallagher). When all buff are in place, It's pretty satisfying.

Spoiler:

I see... well, that's an acceptable theory.

And I agree that the armor alone does not really have the power to destroy the entire planet.

so she does not need crit rate, crit damage, and also does not need much ATK? Just a lot of Break Effect? If you don't mind me asking.. what is the minimum Break Effect that is acceptable to have?

have not pulled her yet, so not yet seen the traces.

[MeoTwister5]

Speed boots, Atk chest, Atk Sphere, BE rope.

You want minimum 360 BE for maximum Super Break damage and minimum 210 speed so you can have 4 turns during her Ult, when all buffs are calculated. With Speed boots and her ult you can get 210 speed even without substats assuming you have Ruan Mei and use the new Plana set. Without Ruan Mei, you'll need around 10 substats of speed IIRC.

the chibis are back.

ok thanks, I get some of the ideas now on how to tune her stats. Just need to pull Firefly to get started. My dps always wear SPD boots anyway, only one who does not is Qingque, because she's always in a Sparkle team.

edit:

so happy, success again in 50/50.
got Ruan Mei eidolon in Asia server
and got it after talking to her in the train. ^^
I'm now satisfied, have both her light cone and first eidolon in this server.
pulling for Firefly next.

Spoiler for Emanators:

Emanator are functionally immortal demigods, several character have stated that destroying planets is as easy for them as is breathing to us, that is why Acheron, Herta, Otti, Diamond, the Arbiter Generals of the Lafou, and the Lord Ravagers command such a respect and awe. I can't even imagine how powerful Herta will be when we get to play as her true self, the Emanator of Erudition, and not one of her puppets.

[Tenzen12]

There is no implications that Emanators as whole are "functionally immortal". Shuhu, Diamond and Panthilia probably are, but Jing Yuan in other hand is more offensive than defensive. Each Emanator have different amount and different kind of power.

[Sacredus]

Jing Yuan is not emanator. He is just one of generals of fleet. People seems to say this because of his Lightning Lord that was given to fleet generals by Aeon. Thing is they're passed down between generals so if Fu Xuan would become one she would get Lightning Lord for herself but that would not make her emanator.

Just to add something about stats because some traits don't work outside of combat and Firefly's atk to break effect conversion is one of them. Outside of combat with Fall of Aeon LC and without Ruan Mei target is at least 200 break effect and 150 speed to reach desired stats.

[Tenzen12]

Two people called him Emanator. One of them is man himself other is Black Swan whose whole job is knowing stuff. So yes it's confirmed. That also means that if Lady Fu got Lighting Lord, she would became Emanator (assuming she isn't one already because Nous)

Well, the immortal part is up in the air, no idea how old Acheron or Herta actually are, but I think you could consider immortality as part of the package deal of an Emanator. As for the Arbiter Generals, the funny thing is that they are the Emanators of Lang The Hunt but they do not necessarily follow The Path of The Hunt, our man Jing Juan is of Erudition for example, but Lang themself blessed them with their Divine Beasts, that without a doubt makes them their chosen.

[Liddo-kun]

not sure if true.. I heard some people say that the Harmonius Choir summoned by Sunday is an emanator of Harmony - but it is corrupted by the Order.

I read some of the sort on wiki, makes sense to a degree, Sunday was well on his way to either resurrecting Ena or becoming a new Aeon of Order.


Update: Ruan Mei is mine!!!!!!!!!!!! I did it!.
