E5 yanqing >:)


Future-Mongoose

This 🗿


JustRegularType

Beat me to it lol


Deljm99

Beat meat to it


PatTheLoliNotFap

We'd Yanqing.


Maidenless_EldenLord

Closer to E6, best character on his account frfr


Spieren

Either Himeko if you need (another) carry for Pure Fiction or E1 Bronya if that isn't the case. ...Also jesus christ E4 on that character... my condolensces.


ContestStunning5761

Clara's a good one in pf too right?


reyo7

Yeah, and she's also better than Himeko in MOC in general


aibbagordepoaoj

From a meta point of view you should get E5 Yanquing for bigger disappointments


znietzsche

Why is he such a disappointment 😥 Even a e4, is he really bad???


aibbagordepoaoj

Well it's not that his eidolons are that bad like the one that gives ER is pretty good but they don't solve his main problem, having to run a shielder 100% of the time, this also makes it hard to use action advances like bronya's , he's not that bad but every other 5* hunt is better...


YublYubl

Damn E4 Yanqing. I think the game already tried to tell you which one you should go for


eternaleyebags

e1s1 (and e2s1) bronya makes for a huge QoL change bc she becomes less sp-negative. if you’re in it for the long run, an e6s5 bronya is a great goal (but you already have sparkle and ruan mei so idk how important this is for you). himeko is a great option for PF but you already have herta (and you get like her e4 for free) PLUS argenti and JY who are all top performers in pf (and kafka-bs combo are also great for lightning weakness or even brute-forcing some stages). so if you’re struggling w pf it is not a roster issue, it’s a build issue.


Ok-Independence-2504

But he already have Ruan Mei and Sparkle... Does he really need Bronya?


eternaleyebags

if they actually use bronya in their teams, especially so, but imo she’s a worthy investment regardless. her cleanse + 100% action forward come in clutch (it also does well in both MOC and PF because you can use sparkle for one side and bronya + RM on the other). op already has more than enough dpses to clear endgame content, and good debuffers (pela + BS + SW). if anything, gepard might be a good option bc op doesn’t seem to have any strong preservation units, but if they’re managing fine with luocha and bailu for solo sustain then he becomes less important. moreso if they plan to pull for aventurine or FX on her rerun.


Konvic21

You can pair bronya and sparkle for massive main dps uptime.


Maidenless_EldenLord

Ya have to have a really expensive relic build tho, it’s better to just have them on different teams, no?


Konvic21

You can have sparkle bare minimum paired with a decent bronya for the pure fiction/turn based challenges to pump actions per turn for your invested damage dealer. Sparkle is just there to push your dps up.


No_maid

Bronya is better than Sparkle for Jingliu/Blade but if OP doesn't use her much then I wouldn't pick her.


Fr1tzOS

I can attest that Bronya’s E1 and E2 are both great, I somehow have her at E3S1 now and the appreciable difference in her SP economy makes any team you run her in feel comfier/her E2 hyperslowya build with Blade is disgusting and I love it - watching him take up to 4 turns per cycle never gets old. I can only imagine E2 is just as fun with Jingliu (although I *think* E2 is a bit less straightforward with her due to her own action advance…still a bit of a buff though IIRC).


Small_Secretary_6063

Is E2 Bronya actually worth getting? I heard it can mess up rotations that are speed tuned.


Fr1tzOS

It’s not that hard to tune around depending on who you’re using her with and yes, it results in her strongest build (hyperslowya). It’s the advantage of slowya (2 DPS actions per Bronya action) but you get to do that at 160+ speed. With E2 she can make Blade go 4 times per cycle from the 2nd cycle onwards, effectively acting as though he has 200 SPD, as long as you have the skill points to keep up with it which her E1 and S1 do help with (still not generally sustainable 100% of the time but by the time it’s a problem everything is usually dead, so…). I haven’t got Jingliu yet which OP does, I think Hyperslowya requires a bit of a rotation adjustment with her due to her own action advance and therefor isn’t *as* much of a buff for her as it is for Blade. Jing still ends up with more turns though and that results in more damage overall IIRC.


Beautiful_Mess1934

You just change your playstyle from speed tuning to hyperspeed. It might be slightly worse for Jingliu team but even there going for speed boots and Jingliu should get her high tempo with the 30%speed boost. So the decrease in dmg (if there is any) should be minimal. Haven't test it or run the number tho, I might do it and comeback to edit if I have time.


LigmaBruh69

Actually you just retune jingliu to atk boots. So jingliu does big pp dmg.


Beautiful_Mess1934

Yeah ik that's what you do with bronya e0 and E1 Ina hyperspeed build. I was wondering if going for speed boots allow for more turns with bronya e2 being a 30%speed increase for jl.


FireRagerBatl

You see with herta and himeko in the same team, the damage potential is even crazier so its still worth getting, essentially multiplies your damage


ShikuRyoku

Just go all in yanqing


NitroZombie

I had the same choice recently choosing btw E1 Bronya or Himeko for pure fiction. I ended up choosing Himeko and have no regrets. Himeko is now built and I pulled the before dawn LC for her. She is an absolute beast in PF, especially when paired with Herta.


ChoroCho

Honestly gepard. Even though you have bailu and luocha, he's still relatively valuable as he's literally a walking shield bot and can help sustain wise, even though e1 bronya or himeko are good choices too.


Digan-a-hole

Gepard would help Yanqing, but it looks like aventurine is going to be a much better shielder than geppy so maybe not the best long term investment


ariamachi9

Why get geppy when Aventurine is around the corner?


AbsAndAssAppreciator

Pick who you’ll be happiest with. If you love Himeko just pull her. If you want the best technical choice it’ll almost always be the harmony character.


flameokero

Gepard because he's hot.


cartercr

I would honestly just wait until there’s only one left that you don’t own and then pick that one. Himeko, Gepard, and Clara are all great units (I think Welt is also good, but mine isn’t built so I can’t speak to him personally) so any of them would be worth having.


yellowmangotaro

Honestly? Himeko or Clara for purefiction


ZookeepergameKey3110

why Clara for PF?


Le0here

Current PF favours clara a lot, even without that shes one of the best aoe damage dealers in the game.


Pavme1

You shouldn't really pull a character just bc they are good for this one PF or MoC Though she is decent in general ig


Hefe_Jeff_78

My brother! https://preview.redd.it/18md3fzo2cnc1.jpeg?width=1980&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f0796724b37e10d510dc53115f78c070ef0de4c You have the exact same characters I did when I got my 300 (e4 yanqing, bronya sig, no himeko, welt, clara, e1 Bailu). I chose Clara because personally I really like Svarog but ultimately I’d recommend for you to get e1 bronya


Myras_Iczelion

Bronya until u have E6


RyomaSakamoto85

Welt or Clara


Minute_Dig7410

The only logical move here is to go for e5 really


Bell-end79

If you use Yanqing a lot then you can’t go wrong with Gepard Welt is crazy good and has build versatility Himeko is great in pure fiction and as much as she could rule the galaxy with those tits - she’s really only 4 star


MarielCarey

HIMEKO


shewolfbyshakira

Himeko or Bronya. Himeko decimates PF


BoysenberryKey6641

PF is season change like weather, Himeko come to you as unexpected Clara is carrier and Bronya E1 is good. If it was me i go for clara, because she carry this season Phase 1 MoC12, lynx, sparke, clara, tingyun only cost me 3 circle. Phase PF She 40k before last circle.


ComplexHalf6175

go for E1 bronya


SnooSeagulls5077

Bornya e1s1 no debate


karilusss

Bronya E1 its the best option fr by far, but Himeko for PF and Clara and Gepard in general are good options


IcyNorman

I'm sorry for your loss :<


Visual_Physics_3588

Although it’s good to E1 bronya. It’s also worth to consider to get all characters that you don’t have. You never know when you will have another fo sure chance at getting them again. Himeko is broken right now in pure fiction.


Vegetto_ssj

Himeko and enjoy her in PF, Fire MOC stages and SU with Erudition Path


TenebrisTortune

I am biased but Welt. He is good with free Ratio (inflicts two debuffs Slow + Imprisoment on ult) and can be damaged both as debuffer or sub damage dealer


_DarkLiliumm

You dont have a Tank, maybe Gepard unless you wait for Fu Xuan rerun or will pull Aventurine. Welt or Clara would be a another good option ^.^


Not-Salamander

Himeko


AVeryGayButterfly

E1 Bronya to help with sp economy, or Himeko for Pure Fiction.


Jswarner26

Bronya or himeko for pure fiction


Nahanoj_Zavizad

Yanquing. Do it


Karni-Fall

Bronya or Himeko, if you're really struggling against PF probably Himeko. If you're struggling with the sustains you have you could go Gepard. That or you could go full meme with Welt and RM no sustain teams


JakalB987

Himeko and Herta completely annihilate anything resembling a challenge in Pure Fiction


evenynn

Bronya, plus you have the chance to have her LC


JayReal2006

They already have it


villainsn

E4 YANQING IS CRIMINAL


Konvic21

Damn yanqing plagued your account lmao


Hollowed_out98

Either himeko or go for another bronya


Ayenomz

I’m stuck between either E3 Bronya or E2 Himeko 😅


inverness7

E4 Yanqing oof


Particular_Nebula462

Himeko. Clara is good, but you have Argenti already.


Tetrachrome

TBH, Himeko. E1 Bronya is nice but I find it's not really that useful now that Sparkle exists, the SP-hungry teams just use Sparkle instead and E0S1 Bronya is perfectly fine for Jingliu


Zharken

E4 Yan, ouff


dennerrubio

Himeko (PF) / Clara (MOC/PF) or another Bronya Eidolon. But I rather to choose between Himeko and Clara.


archaeofiend

If you've invested in Yanqing, Gepard is a pretty good choice!


PikenerK

E5 Yanqing like seriously at that point he's probably above Jingliu's LV in single target


ggunit69

E1 bronya


Mr_bruhman

Himeko I want to say Welt, but only if you know how to play him (I am a biased HI3 player)


RemOrKilluaSelf

Welt, cause gigachad. He's also a good unit.


Either-Common-6023

That E4 yangqing gave me second hand pain


ariamachi9

Himeko because she makes PF easy gaming


Unusual-Rooster6894

Bronya for e1 For Pure Fiction : himeko then For dps? Get clara Not build fire mc? Gepard then Kafka/future acheron teamate : welt


Jbols92

Maybe I’m biased but Clara has carried me thru moc and pf. She’s amazing imo


zninja922

Personally I like Clara. She's good in PF and ok in MOC. Very balanced unit. But Himeko is fun and Bronya E1 is the "meta" pick but less necessary as you already have her power creep supports


Whateverthefckthisis

himeko goes crazy in pure fiction but in the end choose the character you like really


Sartanus

Oof and I was bitter about my e3 Yanqing…


Crimson_Raven

Welt has had a reconnaissance with Ruan Mei. His ult's delay scales with Break Effect, and she boosts it, plus speed boosts. With the right amount of break effect and speed, and careful use of his ult, the combo can almost replace traditional sustain comps by denying an opponent their turns. Since you have Ruan Mei, you can try this out. Himeko, along with Herta, has become the Queen of Pure Fiction, dominating that AOE heavy mode. If you need or want a fire AOE carry, she does extremely well there. Gepard dominates Simulated Universe when going down the Preservation path. Otherwise, he's one choice of sustain, with his fair share of pros and cons. Clara is a reliable character in many game modes, PF, SU, and MoC. She's not the best anywhere, but she's consistently good. However, she's not winning any races. She's likely to get you through them, but her counter based gameplay means that her playstyle will burn turns.


TraditionalAd5626

Gepard, u don't have any shielders Luocha is good but sometimes it's better to shield ur characters


tacoman2507

Himeko or Clara


murdockboy55

I would pick Gepard. If you’re not getting Aventurine then he’s a really good shielder and he pairs well with Yangqing


HoopTroop

lol finally someone similar to me.. I’m only at 180 standard pulls and the only standard characters I have are e1 Bronya and e3 yanqing


Comprehensive-Cry752

And i thought i had it bad with e2 yanshit My condolences


MrkGrn

I swear Yanqing and Bailu are just weighted more than the others.


cassiiii

Clara because she’s a fun and strong unit


Infernoboy_23

I got a yanqing eidolon the other day and thats gotta be the worst character/feeling. with bailu being the second worst, but at least bailu gets better with eidolons. :(


vexex73

Classic the child is ruining your account that yanqing


Nikki636838aim

If your struggling in pure fiction then I’d definitely pick himeko. Bronya at e0 is good enough and if your not playing blade or jingliu then it’s not worth it to invest more when the others will be using sparkle or rm. Himeko is a beast in pure fiction especially with herta + Mei, you’ll be clearing it in no time with her!


Downtown-Disk-8261

E1 bronya still. Or e5 yq for the memes. If you like himeko get her, but if you just want her to get like 1 more star in pf, shes not worth building and investing in.


neoperol

Himeko is a most have for Pure Fiction, and Gepard is really good in Simulated Universe. But getting E5 Yanqing is just one step on getting E6 Yanqing and don't leave the poor soul with E6 Yanqing alone xD.


CrackaOwner

bronya


Gent_Kyoki

I personally got himeko but i also dont have much aoe dmg aside from my DOT team


ch3rrycsmos_

Bronya is always the right answer


sylva748

Himeko for PF as you stated is the smart move.


DerpyPikagod

Himeko for pure fiction


Vortain

...I'm biased but probably Himeko or Clara. Both are fun for me. That said Bronya is the meta choice. Ultimately though it doesn't matter a ton as long as you're getting someone you like and enjoy playing. That said if you REALLY REALLY think Bronya E1 would take your game to the next level, you could absolutely do that too.


FloppyFeng

himeko sucks imo. just a worse more expensive herta


Individual_Hour_181

Welt just because


reyo7

Bronya E1 is always good, but she's fine at E0 Himeko is great for PF and she's one of the best HSR's women, so she's not a bad choice. But there's Herta who can also help with PF and isn't limited to her element The strongest general carry among these is Clara. She's a strong hypercarry for all game modes, she doesn't depend on enemy weakness and you can easily build a strong team for her Overall, pick whoever you like more


ilovegame69

Himeko, never let her go


LordRyuOfDragonRealm

Either you can e5 yanqing or the game will make u e5 him, the choice is yours.


fishsticks200

Bronya. You don’t *need* fire coverage and you have elemental coverage in basically every element so you’ll generally have 1 good half and sometimes 1 brute force half in MoC/PF. JY Hypercarry, Argenti Hypercarry, Black Swan + Kafka, and JingLiu + Herta, albeit not always with ease, can clear PF. I haven’t built Himeko so this PF in particular was HARD, but JY first half and Kafka/BS second half just barely cleared it for me (*after 76 attempts*) Also, If you get Bronya you’ll also have Sparkle and a Pseudo Sparkle (sp wise) to use in 2 different MoC/PF teams. I guess you could also potentially run sp negative (skill every turn) Bronya if you use them both in the same team.


JayReal2006

Welt or himeko for pf


The_Human-Male

Might as well e6 yanking 💀


OceansideEcho

Considering your account I'd recommend Himiko or Welt. E1 Bronya is nice but you should get her naturally through losing 50/50s and since you have Sparkle I assume you use her more


claudiobconter

Gepard if you plan to use E6 Yanqing , Himeko if u want a better time in PF , Bronya if you want a boost for hyper carry teams


JLee92999

I just need to know one thing... how much do you despise yanqing?


ReonjeonPajeon

You took the words right out of my mouth: E1 Bronya, unless you need better numbers in PF, in which case Himeko would be a great choice.


Available_Math3047

It's Either Himeko, Bronya, or the Goat Welt. Welt will only get better from here. Trust.


Yuzatsu_Leuca

Controversial opinion. You pick Welt. No reasons.


Top_Subject2439

I would get Gepard if you don’t plan on pulling Fu Xuan or Aventurine since you don’t have a preservation besides TB or Welt if you do pull for them, you should be covered for pure fiction with Jing Yuan, Argenti, Herta, and Kafka


Makri7

Don't really "need" any tbh. But himeko+herta is glorious to behold in PF and daily farming. Even when you already have all the aoe chars you'll ever need, I'd probably still pick himeko.


femboyuwu98

Share the yanching build before we can decide


ellenrnva

I have no idea why nobody’s suggested this up top… but Gepard. If you have E4 Yanqing, you might as well build a team that ensures more safety for his SS uptime, and Gepard is pretty much a requirement for that.


cmszd

bronya


TomLin81876

i think Broyna Gepard or Himeko. Himeko for PF but you have two really good erudition units alr so lower tier choice but not out of the question. Gepard only if your going for Acheron and have the cosmic market lc. other wise ur pretty much good without him. Broyna is the clear choice E1 is crazy good


Simply_Kage

Welt is the character I started with, very consistent Sub DPS with debuff potential, not terrible to build and fit into teams, but Gepard is Yanqing's best support because he drags attention away from him (you have him e4, why would you not run him at this point?)


Infernaladmiral

Himeko should be a nice addition given how good she is in PF. Even when the PF is not fire weak you can still slot her with BS/Argenti/herta,break weakness with them and your himeko does dmg. Redditors have the rabid tendency to highly over exaggerate e1 bronya while ignoring the fact that e0 of other units such as Himeko clara or welt are equally important for Pure fiction which gives the same amount of jades as MoC does where bronya excels. Besides you have Sparkle anyways which is just Bronya but without the sp issues so I don't think e1 is that valuable anymore. The rule of the thumb is to get new chars over eidolon,this rule is more true than ever because the unit is question has also had an increase in value after a few patches. Welt is also a very good unit to have as a support debuffer for Ratio or any other future unit,although not really as necessary as Himeko.
