Just some planning for my accounts...
HSR 4.4 rerun leaks are in. Banners are supposedly going to be:
Fate collab part 2: Gilgamesh and Rin
Sparxie, DHPT, Evernight reruns
Anaxa, Aventurine, Jade reruns
Crazy amount of units, all things considered, though some are very throwaway.
On my main, Sparxie, Evernight and Jade are easy skips. I'm also skipping Himenova and collab. Aventurine is... well, realistically he's never getting anything again for this unit. He has nothing unique about his kit that's worth NFing, since DHPT is just him but better on every front, aside from specific enemy matchups. I have E1 already, and while E2 lets him reduce 12% res when hitting with basic, it'll just be annoying to play around and not worth it. His LC is even less worth it, since so much of it is about his personal damage, which doesn't matter now. Skip.
Anaxa... tbh I use him so much that I would like to invest more in him. I just do not have a third team option better than him (and the quadruple skills are so funny). His E2 gives 20% res pen and adds a weakness to enemies when they spawn. I believe with his technique, this will let him double skill immediately. Currently, I often have to just kind of do nothing on his first turn because he doesn't have ult up and his implants aren't ramped up yet. For his LC, it's a toss up between his and Therta's. They both give a very tiny increase over the event LC. His gives 10 energy, same 60% dmg and 12% def shred. Therta's gives 12% crit, same 60% dmg and 1 skill point on ult. Anaxa's def shred situation is kind of headache, and the 12% doesn't neatly match with anything, though it's vaguely useful. I would probably lean toward Therta's just for convenience of building and SP usage, especially if his E2 resolves his ramp up issue.
But I uh pretty obviously won't have pulls after the MBlade circus this patch. And I also want DHPT stuff, since he is pretty likely not coming back for like two years... if ever. We haven't seen Ratio since his singular rerun a year ago.
For DHPT, his sig lets him heal and gives a small buff to the bondmate, his E1 gives res pen and a skill point on ult, and his E2 increases to 4 dragons per ult and increases the dragon damage.
I did get E2 Mblade, and I have 40 pity on LC banner. I guess I will focus on saving until 4.4, and then pull DHPT sig > dupes as far as possible (realistically, S1 but probably not even E1) > pull Anaxa E2 as far as possible on second half.
With the caveat of checking Robin SP's kit. I really like Robin's design tbh, so she might be a pull target depending how solidly she's locked into Himenova or Mono Rem. That said, she'll rerun soon enough, but DHPT? Anaxa? lol. I do also need to prepare for the Ashveil rerun. Thankfully, Aventurine SP can go to hell with Elation.
On my alt, it's also a bit weird because I've more or less made up my mind to reorganize my teams and give up on running Mydei. It just gets on my nerves to use him with Cyrene. And the two options I was considering were Evernight and Himenova. Having them run together is certainly something.
That said, Himenova is not looking too hot. They actually did changes to her in v2, which is not a good sign. Her stance change mechanic seems to not be working out too well, and all the showcases of her are insane sustainless slop with E4 Welt and other such nonsense. Overall, I don't feel very confident in her future. I guess I'll have to wait and see how things go. I definitely won't have any savings regardless, since I'm going for E2 Cyrene and possibly E2 Phainon if I have anything left.
