If I'm going to stop playing any gacha to make a room for a new one (or just reduce the amount of gachas I'm playing),... it's going to be WuWa.
I've dumped all my luggage except for 2 games - these are WuWa and Infinity Nikki, so I'm absolutely free, my next Gatcha game will most likely be either Azur Promilia or Arknights: Endfield, depending on what comes out on PS5 faster.

It's Arknights for me if it's going to be released this year. Basically the game launches and if I like it after playing for at least 6-7hrs, I'll stop playing WuWa.

Based on the last time I did it with WuWa after 1.0, I can catch up with the story and stuff just fine if I'll decide to come back to it for whatever reason. It's not that I dislike WuWa a lot, but Kuro is sure not making it a hard decision to make for me and characters alone won't make me stay, it needs to be way more than that.
 
Speaking of dropping gacha games, I just dropped HBR yesterday so I can pick up P5X next month.

I'm also thinking about dropping Genshin after I get Raiden Shogun (and hopefully Citlali too). I'll probably return when they release the next nation. Until then, I might just log in during the anniversary to see what's going on.

Out of the remaining ones, I'll be keeping WuWa and HSR as my primary gachas, and ZZZ and P5X as side ones (2 turn based, 1 open world and 1 hub/instanced based = perfectly balanced).

I'm not convinced that Enfield will release this year, but I'll give that one a shot whenever it releases on PS5. The same goes for NTE and Azur Promilia.

There's also Ananata, but who knows when that one releases since we didn't get any gameplay. Good chance GTA 6 will release before Ananta, lol.
 
Good luck to Ananta devs fighting for people's time and wallets if they'll launch the game after GTA 6, and everything points to it since there's no reliable info telling us otherwise, devs are quiet af and half a year already gone.

Honestly, I feel that way in regards to any game that will be released in 2026, we might even see an unusual food of broken / semi-broken releases (or a huge number of delays) just to get the games out (and fix later) before GTA 6.

Regarding Arknights, I am still relatively cautious about this game, I myself was not able to get into the beta. But I have friends who were able to play, they of course seemed to have made a lot of changes after the reviews and the beta (We'll see), but the reviews of the game after the beta were very cool, and the gameplay of the game was criticized quite heavily. But after they confirmed the release on PS5, I don't see any particular reason not to try it.

I don't have any plans to quit Wuwa yet, unless a game comes out that has a better and more interesting combat system, there are no games like that yet. And I haven't seen any announcements yet either, too many games now make their main audience casual players, too little emphasis is placed on people who want to learn the mechanics and get better.

You lasted longer in the game than I did, I lasted exactly two weeks. Interesting change, as I already said I'm not going to play, but I hope you like it, the beginning of the game evokes quite pleasant feelings.

I don't really care about release dates, they'll come out when they come out. I've wanted to reduce the number of Gatcha games as much as possible for a long time now, and free up that time for regular games. That's why I'm in no hurry. :messenger_smiling_with_eyes:

There is no universe where I can touch the product that NetEase releases, so I wish them good luck, but I won't even try it.
Silver palace - caught my attention, but this game definitely won't be released for the next two years.
 
So I just hit Trailblaze level 60 in HSR and finished the ascension quest. The first thing I did afterward was, ofc, to level up my Acheron. 😅 Still have to get her skill, ult, and talent to level 10 (need the weekly boss mats for that), but other than that, I'm happy with where her stats are right now.

I've also got enough F2P pulls to guarantee The Herta the moment her banner drops (hopefully I won't lose another 50/50 so I can try for her LC as well). If I get unlucky again, then I'll have to settle for E0S0 and start saving ASAP for the Nihility speedster catgirl.

Good Acheron, I wish you luck in your plans. :messenger_bicep:
P.S. - but I can't help but troll you with love - Lord, so much effort and the group's effectiveness will still be many times worse than the Aglaea group :messenger_tears_of_joy::messenger_heart:
 


Star Savior PV

The animations and designs are nice and characters are holding weapons… but then they just go play volleyball ? wtf Iol
Then they showed what looks to be bursts/ultimates but just the animations, like they aren't hitting anything. No enemies in sight.

It looks nice enough that I'll keep my eyes on it, but they are going to have to show a lot more, and not just some volleyball game mode

Thanks, my man! :messenger_sunglasses:

Don't care about Uglyaea, tbh. :P

Anyways, in about a month or so I'll have 3 good teams to start progressing some of the end game stuff (one for Acheron, one for Castorice, and one for The Herta). 😏
 
My Acheron team is still far from ideal since I'm missing a 2nd Nihility teammate. Bronya and Pela are still level 70, and I still need to get +2 lvls on Acheron's traces, but I can already deal reasonable damage with her ultimate.

A lot will depend on how the drama ends with the test server (so far everything is bad). If roughly speaking, try to pull out everything you can from Acheron. The only way to accelerate DPS is to take her E2 (how reasonable it is now considering the power creep, is a good question...). The problem is that the scheme with two Nihility does not give DPS acceleration, because there are no damage buffers among them, plus if we are talking about Nihility characters who use DOT, DOT in this game cannot crit (which also affects DPS). E2 simply gives the opportunity to throw one Nihility character out of the group - we can Jiaoqiu, and take one of the Harmony characters for DPS acceleration - here she has to choose from Sunday or Sparkle, both significantly increase Crit damage, from a meta perspective Sunday will be better, he does a lot of things that Sparkle can't. And then with the addition of Harmony her DPS can be accelerated. From a DPS perspective, the branch through 2 Nihility is a dead end. (Even if you max out her DPS through Harmony, she still will lose to Aglaea in DPS.)

But after they confirmed the release on PS5, I don't see any particular reason not to try it.
The game was announced 3 years ago, which means they had at least 1,5-2 years of R&D and prep before that, so it's 4,5-5 years of dev cycle so far. If they were able to drastically chagne things in the game in a short span of time means that they're very good, flexible and can course-correc fast. I've watched a few previews from the last beta, people have some criticisms of course but overal they were positive. The latest CBT ended recently, hopefully they'll finally finish development this year, launch one more CBT and launch the game before the end of the year🤞

And I haven't seen any announcements yet either, too many games now make their main audience casual players, too little emphasis is placed on people who want to learn the mechanics and get better.
Just to clarify, I'm not actively (let alone despereatly) looking for reason to quit WuWa. I like what people behind story and characters are doing, stamina BS aside the combat is good if not amazing depending on the character you're playing, the whole art department is insanly good, but the end game people, people behind dailies and weeklies, the suits and decision makers are doing everything they can to make me stop playing, cuz they're trying to be miHoYo and at the same time be worse, more stingy and restrictive than miHoYo and there's no signs of big changes in regards to all negatives on the horizon👎

You make some good points, my man. I'll probably go for her E2 once her banner reruns so I don't kneecap her team by not having a proper damage buffer. In the meantime, the current setup with Bronya as the main damage amplifier works quite well. Speaking of Bronya, here's a fresh MMD of her. :P

 
Looks like Silver Palace already hit a million pre-registrations a week into the announcement, even with no approximate release date. Pretty incredible for a relatively unknown developer on a brand new IP.

The ball's in their court now, they can have a hit on their hands or fumble it as we've seen too many companies do. Hope it does well, I really like the setting and characters that we've seen so far.
I've dumped all my luggage except for 2 games - these are WuWa and Infinity Nikki, so I'm absolutely free, my next Gatcha game will most likely be either Azur Promilia or Arknights: Endfield, depending on what comes out on PS5 faster.
Promilia and (maybe?) Silver Palace are my most hyped for now. I'm not sold on the open world city stuff of Ananta or NTE, but keeping an eye on them regardless. It's too far from release from all 4 of them to say anything definitive. I'm kinda worried that Promilia is going to get hit by Nintendo like Palworld was.

My first "drop" game if I like any of the 4 above is definitely Star Rail. I barely am hanging on right now anyways. I have a laundry list of complaints about the game, but I do wanna at least see the Amphorius saga play out before dumping it. I'm also hopeful that Kakfa's rumored buffs turn out good. I have very little hope in Jingliu's buffs since I read the leaks. Sounds dreadful, and that sucks because I like her design and lore, and already have her geared pretty well.
 
Looks like Lost Sword is getting a global release. The announcement should tell you everything you need to know lol. Ages 7+ btw.

It looks like both EN VAs for Stelle and Caelus have been recast in HSR.




Only heard this for the recap storytelling thing when you first log in after the update, but Caelus seems fine. He talks a little slow and dramatically considering his character's usually a schizo in the story, but he sounds similar enough to the old VA that it's not distracting.

Got a nice little surprise this time:

Congrats on the double Hyacine drop, Pejo Pejo ! 🔥

I managed to snag The Herta as well in 40 pulls after winning the 50/50 (still can't really believe I did that, lol). I think I'll go for her LC since I'll have enough pulls when Cipher's banner drops.

Congrats! Nice results there on your side too.

I'd maybe reconsider the LC, since Erudition have the best F2P options, but if she's a favorite anyways, go for it.

Thanks man! Yeah, she's def a favorite of mine, so I think I'll go for her LC. It adds some pretty good QoL to her kit, including better SP management, which helps a fair bit since she's quite SP hungry.

She honestly doesn't really need her lightcon, what's in the game from the free to play ones works well on her. She actually has the same problem as Acheron, she needs you to have 2 characters of the Erudition path in your group, counting her (I put Jade as an assistant so that you could test her normally - read her passive - Message From Beyond the Veil). Therefore, it would be good for you to think about who you will take with her as a second character.

P.S - If you have - Today Is Another Peaceful Day 4*LC from battle pass, it's completely broken on her.
If you plan to continue playing Castorice, I would pull Hyacine, you will thank me later. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I'll use doll Herta as the 2nd erudition character (have her at E6), and will also use Trailblazer Remembrance, but I have to unlock the path first. As for the last spot for Herta's team, I'm not sure, but maybe a healer (waiting for some suggestions from you as well)?

For the LC, I don't have the one you mentioned, as I picked this BP one from the screenshot below for Castorice. I'm going to buy the BP later today after work though, and maybe I'll consider that LC. Although as I mentioned to Pejo, I really like The Herta, so I want her to have her LC. If I lose the 75/25, I'll keep the guarantee for Cipher.

She doesn't work very well with the doll, since you can't activate the doll's passive normally on her. The best options for her now are Anaxa, Argenti, Jade. Depending on what element the enemies are vulnerable to, each of them is suitable in their own way, in terms of damage, Anaxa is the best option, Jade is the best option in terms of versatility at the moment, since she is not only Erudition but her skill also buffs the character.

As for lightcons in this game, if you're playing casually purely for the story, 99% of the time they're never worth pulling unless you're trying to complete Apocalypse or Abyss with all the stars in 0-3 rotations. In most cases, adding another character to your account to create a group with perfect synergy will always be better than LS. It also gives you more choice and flexibility when creating groups on your account.

But this is your account and it's up to you to decide what to do next. :messenger_smiling_with_eyes:

Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure if I want to prioritize Castorice yet by pulling premium characters for her team... I want to focus on the 2 best girls I have on my account, Acheron and The Herta.

That said, I'll take into consideration what you said about the LC for The Herta, and then decide later today what option I'll go with for her LC (BP vs Signature).

Anyone who plays miHoYo games knows very well that, unfortunately, the "These are my favorite characters" approach doesn't work in their games, or to be more precise, they punish for it very strongly and painfully, in all their games. Usually they have two favorite tactics, the game goes in waves (They change the meta, changing enemies and mechanics so that it contributes to new characters, now for example, the game is very inclined to the characters of Remembrance and Erudition, since there are constant battles with a large number of enemies, plus bosses call for support and other mechanics. But this does not mean that it will always be like this, they can again return to battles with 1-2 enemies, and all these characters will begin to suffer. The second favorite method, they constantly increase the HP and stats of enemies with each update, which reduces the DPS of characters). Enjoy characters that are available now, while you have time, most of the characters will lose their relevance with the release of 4.0, as they will again change the direction of the game.

I use her with the doll and it's pretty strong. I've never had problems doing endgame stuff with that comp.

In this game, problems in the endgame can only be experienced by people who do not understand the mechanics at all or have never played turn-based RPGs. The only variable that something depends on is how strong your group is, this simply affects the speed of passing this content, and naturally, the stronger your group, the more mistakes you can make during combat and you will not be punished for it.

Probably Gallagher for some AoE and healing, if you have him. My Therta team is Herta/Jade/Tribbie/Lingsha, but that's ultra premium. Boy does it demolish waves though. If you have Fu Xuan or *spits* Aventurine, you can forego a healer entirely. Fu Xuan also gives everyone a HP and crit% buff (and you can give her the relics to give everyone CDMG buffs too). Keep in mind that Therta pretty much increased the viability of Serval too, if you'd rather use her than the doll for some elemental coverage as an Ult spam bot.

I'm running the BP one for her, but "Geniuses' Repose" is great if you got it pulling for a different character (4* gacha cone). Then you have Himeko's Signature which is also good if you lost a 75/25 to it, or even the Herta shop 5* cone from Simulated/Divergent Universe. They're all really strong options for her unlike more specific characters because she just wants damage however she can get it. That said, like you mentioned, the signature gives some skill points, but putting a skill point positive character in the team (Gallagher/Jade) will solve that problem mostly.

At the end of the day she'll probably be powercrept in a few patches like everyone else because this train don't stop - so don't worry about it too much. The art is nice on her sig but I don't know that you should pay the premium price for a .png. You also have the fact that it'll probably eventually end up in that new light cone shop someday, if you're not in a rush.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! Unfortunately, I lack many premium units since I started playing seriously only a month and a half ago. The only premium units I had prior to this were Bronya which I've obtained via the free 5* selector from a few months before I decided to include HSR in my main gacha rotation, and Dr. Ratio which was a free reward from the TGA 2023 win. Thankfully, I do have E6 Gallagher, E6 Pela, E6 Doll Herta, and I think my Serval is E3 right now, so I'll probably go with Herta, Doll, Gallagher, and Remembrance Trailblazer once the path is unlocked and I get all her eidolons.

I also have one golden token left from the anniversary spending event, which I could use to get Luocha, as I heard he's a strong healer. However, if he isn't really needed, I'd rather save it for whenever they add new characters to the poll.

Thanks here as well for the LC recommendations. I'm starting to lean more heavily toward just going with the BP LC for Therta (I should be unlocking it next week, I think). I don't have Himeko's LC yet, but here are all the Erudition LCs I've obtained so far:

tgqgeKS.png


About the power creep, Mayar pointed this out as well, and I've looked into it a bit, and yeah, you guys are right. I guess in the end, with Therta, she's not as dependent on her LC as for example, Acheron is on hers, so maybe it's better to save the pulls and get more premium units instead of gambling on her LC.

Sounds like a very reasonable team. Herta's a beast, so she'll carry easily.

I'd hold for now, with how rare those things probably are. They're updating that shop every 2 patches, so leaks towards the end of this patch should tell us who will be in there next. We also don't know if they're gonna swap them out or just keep adding more characters. Luocha is good. He's SP positive, has an AOE dispel on his Ult, and off turn healing, so he's not a bad pick, but no harm in waiting unless you're really stuck needing a healer. I have him and currently don't really need him in any team. I tried to cope with him in Castorice's team but it just didn't synergize, thus the Hyacine pulls (despite me not really caring for her much).

That LC you have equipped to Himeko currently is one of Therta's best, so you could just swap to that one. Himeko can use the Herta shop LC just fine.

Yea, unfortunately vertical investment in most characters in Star Rail is a fool's game. EVERYBODY in the beginning of the game said it was impossible to powercreep Bronya/Silverwolf/Kafka etc and look where we are just a year and some months later lol. It was something the devs directly addressed, and then just continued powercreeping with the likes of Castorice/Anaxa anyways, so don't trust them.
 
Hello, I'm new in this community. Currently focusing only on WuWa but I plan to get back to HSR and ZZZ as I haven't finished their main story quests.

Not a gacha player whatsoever but those 3 games especially WuWa are the ones I REALLY like
 
Sounds like a very reasonable team. Herta's a beast, so she'll carry easily.

I'd hold for now, with how rare those things probably are. They're updating that shop every 2 patches, so leaks towards the end of this patch should tell us who will be in there next. We also don't know if they're gonna swap them out or just keep adding more characters. Luocha is good. He's SP positive, has an AOE dispel on his Ult, and off turn healing, so he's not a bad pick, but no harm in waiting unless you're really stuck needing a healer. I have him and currently don't really need him in any team. I tried to cope with him in Castorice's team but it just didn't synergize, thus the Hyacine pulls (despite me not really caring for her much).

That LC you have equipped to Himeko currently is one of Therta's best, so you could just swap to that one. Himeko can use the Herta shop LC just fine.

Thanks, man! I really appreciate the pointers you've given me. I've decided to go with the BP Light Cone (going to grab it next week once I reach BP lvl 30).

However, I'll admit that the png of Therta's Light Cone does look pretty... Still going to pass on it since I need the units more. But this also brings me to say that the HSR artists have done a banger job with the artwork on almost all the 4 and 5-star LCs. It makes obtaining and collecting them so much more fun, IMO.

About time we had some Nikke drama. This time the CN version just launched with a bunch of highly requested QoL updates, no word on bringing any of them to global. The CN version is highly censored (of course), but they pre-baked in a decensor localization file to make the game the same as Global. People are pissssssed.

 
It seems the devs behind this new JP gacha have poured all their budget into this PV. No gameplay has been released so far, but apparently it's turn-based.



Edit: Here are Saber's animations from HSR version 3.4 beta

I like how Emiya makes a copy of TB's bat in his idle. Nice detail.

The quality of this animation is crazy, but I'm super hesitant about any more JP gachas after T9. I'm at least willing to watch an eventual gameplay trailer.

*edit*

Yea, I wasn't going to for Phainon either, but damn...

Meanwhile in Azur Lane:


I like when developers clearly understand what content is really important in gatcha games... :messenger_tears_of_joy:
 


I've been seeing splash pages for this game Crystal of Atlan on PSN recently, coming out soon? Might try it.

I've seen it as well, but I'm not sure if I'll give it a try because I'm waiting for P5X to release next month.

Anyways, if you decide to give the game a shot, come back to this thread and share your impressions.

Once again I know nothing about it lol, these games are coming out of the woodwork lately.
It's free so I'll probably download it and see what's up at the very least.


Edit.

Seems Crystal of Atlan is an action MMO

I like that I got so many buffs that even my Pela manages to one shot the divergent universe boss in its 3rd phase. 😅

This weekly roguelike mode in HSR seems way more bonkers than the equivalent one in ZZZ.



Edit: My Therta build is up to a good start. 👀

ShiftUp "kinda" responded to the drama finally, but they did a big post about nothing and basically said "suck it up, buttercup". They're getting torn up in the replies already (rightfully so).

 
Lmao, Phainon is straight up powercreep in every single way. Even powercreeping Acheron's technique that instantly kills an enemy with no battle.

 
Jeez that Phainon technique powercrept tf out of my Acheron. 😳 Must pull unit for sure!

Mayar Mayar You were right about Uglyea, my man! I'm currently playing through the new event, and she fucking wrecks everything. And yeah, although I don't have her BiS support Sunday like in this trial team, I'll be keeping an eye out for her when her banner reruns. Depending on what pulls I'll have saved up I might try to get her.
