I finally managed to hit 160 speed on Sparkle! 🥲 I had to sacrifice some otherwise good relics (including her Broken Keel set), but it's worth it for the satisfaction of seeing that 160+ number.
Other roster progress:
On the one hand I'm very frustrated that I'm still using off-set relics for Acheron after nearly 2 months of spending the vast majority of my stamina farming the Pioneer cavern, and using all of my SU tokens on Izumo planars... but on the other hand I have her at S+ so I can't be
too unhappy.
I've managed to get Qingque to S+ as well. She's my 2nd best DPS outside of Pure Fiction (thanks to Sparkle). I played around with sacrificing some CR for more CDMG, but I'm keeping the higher CR because it feels SO BAD when you miss a crit with her. I've switched her LC from Breakfast to Cosmos to give her more in-battle CDMG at least.
I've finally gotten around to giving Tingyun better gear; idk why I'd been neglecting her relics for so long when she's been one of my most used characters from the very beginning. That 155 speed is painful, especially considering I came within 1 roll of hitting 160. At least Sparkle got there today.
I was surprised to see a S+ rating for my Harmony TB, considering how little effort I've put into him. Prydwen recommends 150-250 Break Effect, so I figured my 182 BE would land him on a lower tier. Meshing Cogs is giving me nothing on the BE front, but I only have a S1 Memories of the Past, so I figured S5 Cogs > S1 Memories? I dunno, but anyway I'm not gonna put too much effort into HTB until I have an actual team to use him in. I'm not pulling Boothill or Firefly and my Xueyi is only E1, so I really don't know what to do with him.
Well, that's enough relic farming for now. I need a break so I'm gonna farm Erudition traces to finally build up Herta for Pure Fiction.
