Hoyoverse said they wanted more gatcha in their gatcha game and added the equation randomization in threshold protocol lol

[@zaktubitax5029]

[@Random-person-on-the-internet]

I personally dislike the inconsistency. No path bias or any way to “force” a strat you feel like playing. Though removing rerolls is a weird decision to me. It’s still fun though.

[@Yidna9]

Honestly the RNG feel much better IMO in Divergent despite having mroe. Its much less about grabbing every blessing from one path and instead rewards you for getting blessing from other paths that have some synergy and changing your team around slightly as you go through. I think working with and around RNG in divergent feels rewarding and possible as opposed to GnG where you can set up the map and create a path then the map just decides to reroll. I have alot more motivation to clear higher difficulty tiers in this mode where I feel I actually need to think and craft builds as I go through as opposed to GnG where it feels like my run is just straight rng since I can't work with or around it. On a side note "weighted" curios don't feel weighted at all, most runs they offer 3 curios that are useless for my current team.

[@yohaneslay8109]

still no batch blessings upgrading

[@Boshea241]

I dislike how overly random the new mode is. If this gets expanded hopefully we can start getting path weight and banning paths like we do in regular universe. The get 16 blessings unlock is basically impossible without the Ruan Mei event.

[@therranolleo468]

even RM has 3 variants now, so getting one won't mean free wins unlike GnG 1. all blessings of 1 path + 2k money 2. upgrade all blessings on hand + 10 random curios 3. IIRC 3 3* equation + random blessings to complete those equations

[@therranolleo468]

the one thing I disliked the most is them getting rid of the reroll mechanic, getting random blessings that has no use for either your equation or playstle is just annoying, I know you can somewhat "reroll" in the cat bench pre-boss battles but what you're rerolling is still random from ALL available paths, and unlike regular SU you don't have a weighted buff that increases the chance of certain path blessings to show, the only way to get weighted buff is to get the waxes which are also RNG

[@guobacertified]

hoping they add it as a hotfix or at least at the "80 day expansion date"

[@cofume]

Same dude. The amount of timed my equation being 7/8 5/5 in the last boss area is straight up INFURIATING. Even if you try to roll blessing in the cat thingi they are so rng to the point where you could spend 1000 yet still not get the blessing of the path you want.

Spoiler about a particularly new occurrence: Ruan Mei Part 3 appears in reward domains, not occurrence domains I am pretty sure. I've gone through hundreds of occurrence domains and didn't see it, but the first reward domain I entered gave me the ruan mei occurrence. What it does is you can either choose to get all the blessings needed to activate the equations you have in your hand, or you can choose to get a 3-star equation and then all the blessings required to activate that equation in particular. Of course, if you have Ruan Mei, you can have both. Edit: Okay so I actually came across Ruan Mei pt2 in an occurrence domain. So maybe they can appear in both, and I just got insanely lucky.

The new SU blatantly encourages going wide with your roster pulls to make sure you can adjust your lineup to match the buffs you get. It's inverted from the way prior SimUs have worked and makes sense from an incentives perspective for Hoyo.

[@masterplusmargarita]

​​@@tivaen As an SU hater due to exactly the "pick path, take every blessing of that path" meta, you're pretty much exactly right. While I dislike SU this just has the same issue in a different way. Instead of "pick path, get blessings" it's "get equation, change team, get blessings". It doesn't feel different in a meaningful way, and at least in SU I could pop on an Acheron team, build for it, and skip the trash encounters while having an effective team. Now I have to either have this Acheron that does nothing on my team or constantly switch her in and out. The Planar grind being so much easier is very welcome, but I'm honestly expecting to have even less fun doing my weekly SU point grind in DU than I did in SU - if not for the 80 reward track I might just keep doing it in SU.

[@nerox118]

strategy of div un: just roll good

[@spice2688]

I think that on base difficulty it's great. You're able to swap teams depending on the blessing you get, and it's a cool gimmick. However, on levels 1-6 that is just literally not feasible. Enemies have way too much health and damage, to the point where you need specific blessings or equations to do *any* damage. A vast majority of the equations are just straight up terrible. From my experience the only good equations/blessings have been Nihility, sometimes some of the Erudition stuff if you get really lucky, and anything break related. Literally a vast majority of them are bad. If you don't have certain characters for the equations you are getting, then it's just a reset. Often, I just reset at the beginning anyway until I get something that isn't completely useless like an Abundance equation. I wish we could at least pick our starting equation and which random path blessings we get at the start. Ultimately I feel like it is a complete coin toss and your decisions have little to no effect on your run. If you keep getting shitty equations you lose, and that's that. GnG and swarm were like this too imo, except in GnG/Swarm it was "pick a strategy and if bad rng, reset" in DU it's "you're given a strategy and if bad rng, reset". It's effectively the same. It's very frustrating that Hoyo doesn't seem to be able to effectively balance these sim uni game modes, because there is so much potential. I have played a lot of roguelikes, at least in particular Risk Of Rain 2. In RoR2 you are definitely limited by luck to an extent, but you have many means to mitigate and strategize around your luck. You have a shop with a currency that is saved between runs that allows you to purchase very strong items, there is a pickup that allows you to reroll items into another one of the same tier, there are multiple side challenges in each level that give bonus rewards if you can do them. There are item printers that will have a specific item, when you interact with them they take a random item of the same rarity from you and print out that item. You can also find item scrappers that allow you to choose items to turn into scrap that will be consumed on printers first so you don't lose your good items. All of these functions mitigate RNG through strategy or calculated risks, to the point where you can get a very high win rate simply through game knowledge alone. Sim Uni has nothing like this really, the most you get is gambling in some occurence domains. There is no real strategizing or skill ceiling, it's just a complete roll of the dice. You either are dealing no damage and dying, or you insta kill everything and are invincible. There is no in between, and it just doesn't feel good. Feeling like you have no agency, and your personal skills/knowledge have no real meaning, just isn't fun to me.

One thing I greatly dislike is that while the idea of changing characters according to blessings sounds fun, the actual experience of the DU on protocol 5/6 is a random set of blessings that barely synergize (you can’t get the ones you need because the reset function is basically spend fragments to exchange one trash for another trash), 3/4 of equations and weighted relics are so niche they are triggered like once a fight (if you’re lucky), and as a cherry on top the boss you rolled is literally made as a counter to the playstyle you chose. Also the “ideal team” for the stuff you rolled literally doesn’t exist yet. Also SW and RM are needed 100% bc of the break meta. Yes, my rng was awful and now I’m being petty on the Internet. I miss bannable paths and blessing rerolls so much. I also miss the increased chance for blessings of the specific path you choose at the start. Didn’t realize just how impactful those things were until we were robbed of them 😢 On the funny side, my current best team for DU is 1.0 built Yanqing, Gepard, Pela + RM + that one remembrance blessing with ice weakness implant. Firefly who? As of now, I see DU as “great idea, questionable execution”. Going to wait for cheese tactics invented by the community 🤓🤓

[@whole.milk__]

This. I personally have not been able to clear D6 as I don't have Firefly or Aventurine. E2 Dhil has failed me so far because they just can't compare to the Break/Destruction blessings and equations. Also, spending 40 minutes getting a perfect run, getting to the final boss and it being completely counter to your entire setup. Feels painful.

Tbh, I’m glad that they changed the find requirements: instead of having to finding 100% of everything, u just need to find around 80% of them. I personally 97% all the rewards of divergent universe already due to that, (finished the conundrum 6, and 80% of the skill tree.) haven’t yet done the 8+ equation, or the having no lvled equation quests yet, so I’m going to be working on that. Gl to anyone trying conundrum 6! It’s fudging hard, and it took me 30 attempts due to rng, and losing runs due to occurances kill me, (the fudging big stings..) and the equations constantly being bad, and needing cosmic fragments to either reroll, or lvl up blessings. (Which never fudging work ;-; ) Personally, I rec using heat and lvling your 1star blessings, and if possible, choose equation as close to your path, because that could be the make or break. (Lvl some 3 star, especially if they massively buff your team, but 2star and 1 stars are the main MVP due to their commonality.) If your running firefly teams, the 1 star destruction, nihility, erudition, abundance, vesicle from propogation, and the one star preservation, are all good for her, with some like flicker and reflection from destruction possibly being a make or break. and the 3 are hunt (don’t lvl.) are also good to bring up turn action. Gl with the divergent universe, and have a fun time!

As much as I adore Firefly, I just hate how much this relies on rng and break.

I found the gameplay of that very interesting. Great guide since I was confused since I just want to lvl up my Firefly

[@Cr3zant]

No other destruction character besides maybe Blade even got anything from Destruction path anyway. Jingliu could never get the buffs because she only drained ally HP and not her own, Clara can't survive without a healer and so would constantly be jumping between 1 turn of buffs and 2-3 turns of nothing, Daniel has no HP mechanics, Xueyi does everything _except_ HP drain, etc. They were all better off with Hunt.

The most difficult thing for me in this new mode was the mission of "clearing difficulty 4 or above while having 4090 fragments". The Rng is kinda annoying but it's good that you get to reroll blessings. One thing I would say is they need to add more weighted curios, the current ones are way too specific and sometimes useless on some teams. Overall I think it's good (already at lvl 42, cleared all difficulties and got all the rewards from collectables and missions, no I am not addicted at all I swear )

[@coolbath8313]

there are two benchmarks for your team when running V6 Divergent Universe: if you can't overflow the first two bosses' bonus stage, you're probably going to lose to the final boss

[@zaxtonhong3958]

I used to be chill with screwllum Until he made this monstrosity He took away our auspicious star and melancholia He gated our cat’s cradle and hell is other people behind rare curios and only for some paths He gutted our celestial annihilation, macrosegregation, and sanctuary He made elites take like no damage unless broken He made the final boss random. In swarm/regular SU, we plan to fight 1 possible boss. In GnG, we plan to fight 1 or 2 possibilities. In DU, we need to plan to fight 4 possible end bosses

[@guobacertified]

but at least his kit will be awesome when he's out in 2026 :)

[@Horvath_Gabor]

Honestly, the last bit is the only real "dealbreaker". You get way more blessings and other bonuses through a run, even if much of it is RNG-reliant (especially the Weighted Curios, that can make or break a run), but it just feels cheap when you think you have a solid build by the end of the run, only to face a boss that just happens to counter your team, and you have to either restart, or resolve yourself to a half-hour long grind while praying for RNGesus for a break.

[@jurajojo2543]

Lol, thanks for the Guide Guoba, but I already passed V6 before you released this video. just a bit earlier. And I was only at synchronicity level 26 lol, got quite lucky with a certain 3-star curio that both made me deal more damage and have more HP, v6 clear was extremely comfortable, way more than my v4 and v5 clears.

[@Qtoki12]

I don't like how this new DU relies on equations, they do damage not the characters, and it caters more to break team how insanely tanky bosses are without breaking it, it even says they take less dmg while having toughness. I didn't have fun while clearing difficult 6 and will never do that again. Gold and gears is still goated, although i do like that you can swap to any character.

[@DOOMSDAY500]

Very informative video thank you! This actually helped me understand some confusion that I had

[@JJoasty]

I really love how Divergent Uni yolks everyone you have to Lvl 80. I can try anyone I want and it’s fun lol

[@LeftyPencil]

But if you had nice relics but not at maxed to +15, all yours are replaced

[@anyacad021]

My Bronya had +15 broken keel but it gets replaced with fleet of the ageless anyways

[@LeftyPencil]

​@@anyacad021damn, so all builds are at risk (to favor break ofc)

[@stalesock4]

Too much rng for me, I've lost almost every wealth domain or had only nevative effects from my runs. Hopefully there'll be some changes like adding regular blessing rerolls or something.

[@_Johnny_GG]

I can't wait for a house/room in hsr

[@Kagetora-]

Yes, we need housing in HSR so that we can visit other people's houses

[@thornszk]

I think that is the Radiant Fieldspar. Hopefully it get updates in the future like passive trailblaze power or leveling mats purchasable.

[@LeftyPencil]

Husbando Haven wars lol

[@izzme5204]

I thought we finally have something that catered to break dps, but sadly not so much. Sure there equations and blessings(mostly 1 star) that benefit super/break but to get the equation, destruction/nihility/hunt have too much non break beneficial blessings to unlock the equation in the first place. I hope they make a new path entirely fro break dps

[@Dustinisnotavailable]

All the jades I can pour into trying to get my one copy of firefly. Thank goodness, lol.

[@electroneurons]

Ima be honest with you Thanks to the mapping system i can use any character i want and super break teams are very fun and the team that help me beat difficultly 5 now i intend to beat the threshold protocols already done the first one and now currently doing the 2nd one

[@memetic_hazard]

I cleared up to Threshold 4 in about two days before I decided that was enough for the week. Although I tried using some alternative teams, I ended up doing most of those runs with my (E1) Firefly team, and in several cases being one blessing short of completing my 3* equation. E1 Firefly + the two 3* hunt blessings that 100% action advance basically let Firefly chew through most of the boss fights, even with their inflated HP. I anticipate T5 and T6 will be harder, but it's surprising how far the team can go on brute force strength alone. And, of course, for picking up jades on difficulty 4, the team can just rush straight to the end ignoring whatever the blessings, equations, and negative curios are.

[@franyard8783]

Whiplashed thinking this was an early Screwllum guide

[@guobacertified]

:(

[@FakeMaker]

The RNG sometimes annoys me, but the equations are fun and interesting. And the rewards are nice too.

[@razhawrt2086]

thanks guoba, definitely need this one because I can't complete divergent level 6

[@kuro2367]

I've been spamming DU from release day that i finally cleared Protocol Threshold 6. My characters almost died like 10+ times

[@barbdon3148]

another funky thing about the weekly challenge is you can fully ignore it by switching the blessings at the elite boss terminal thingies

[@Stricken-Zero]

I hate this, it’s so much rng and not even the fun kind. Both Swarm and GnG while hard were much more fun. The devs burnt the kitchen with how much bullshit this is with all the rng, no bannable paths, making rerolling blessings more and more expensive. They also fucking gutted the good blessings and made the final boss all rng. Give me back my survival destruction path and just make a new path catered to break ffs Not to mention how there is no way to get path resonance until you get 16 blessings which is frankly impossible. They literally got rid of every good QOL Swarm, GnG had in favor of this mid bullshit the devs made.

[@shirolee]

Thanks for making this guide!

[@MrGshinobi]

Im surprised more people are not talking about the new SU update because its HUGE. It changes how the game mode works entirely and its a very refreshing change. The previous SU got boring because you were only ever encouraged to pick 1 path only and to never stray from that path, but the new SU encourages you to pick multiple paths at once because of how the equations work, its all very well designed and fun.

[@creepyfrostbite7535]

I swear getting a boundary equation is harder than getting 3 3-stars equations 20 runs and still couldn't do it

[@torkip1313]

So glad i invested in Yanqing out of morbid curiosity while waiting for 2.3 and now i can use him fully built anyway HAHHAHA

[@messmass2573]

I already hit sync rank 50 and got all the limited rewards... ...either I may have a problem or having too much fun with it. 😂

[@AcerSense]

Cyclical Extrapolation, to me, is wayy too fun lmao

[@Quantumsaber]

I hate the new mechanic where they force trial characters on you if your relics aren't fully leveled. Like I don't need to level my Pelas arms to 15 and I definitely don't want you to replace her with a terrible DPS set. I had to waste all my upgrade mats on my characters that were perfectly fine just to keep the builds I've worked so hard for

[@Kitagawra]

ofc guobgoat loves the slot machines

[@waitaminute5439]

Honestly once DU gets a expansion mode like SD or GnG it would be really fun. I feel like at the moment it has a lot more strategy to it then normal SU but theres a LOT of rng in it without much way of manipulating it

[@EntropicUsername]

I had not noticed the saves being reset weekly! A shame. I had a sick one with like a dozen equations unlocked including a boundary thanks to a lucky early relic and meeting Ruan Mei, making one sick save file.

[@anheld8726]

The main thing i hate witht his mode, is that the Arithmetic Mapping feature cant be tured off and it will fck up your units builds. Like what were they thinking? Why cant it be turned off?

[@wafirhidayat]

another banger! And close to that 100k woooo!

[@guobacertified]

Very close ! :D so crazy to think about

[@harougemu]

thanks for the guide as always! been enjoying firefly in new divergent universe!!

[@MrFirecam]

Spend 40 minutes inside, gets good stuff, boss is immune to my elements, leave. Just like regular SU.

[@FN-170]

I really dislike this new mode. It is way too rng heavy, I genuinely feel like I have no control over anything in this mode, this is especially detrimental at higher difficulty.

[@relaxtitan]

1:01 i cant get over how stelle stood there like a god of creation at the back Also that save file and instant teleport to boss its a great addition, i dont have to move a finger and ket it run auto lol

[@vei_d]

Really enjoying DU. Already beaten v6 on first try with firefly mapping. Really good strategy is to focus on adventure, reward, store and wealth domains.

[@vexusdesu6272]

I completed the game mode GG!

[@rannieller7690]

1:57 "What do you mean rip regular SimUni? But the planars?" 3:41 *Sees the save file to fight bosses using tokens* Oooooooooohhhhhhh ❤

[@Caron_]

4:50 "Challenge it if you want a challenge" would be nice if there weren't 360 jades locked behind the threshold protocol...

[@niigolover]

Yeah💀💀

[@encapturer]

Eh, for just over two pulls... I'll get to it when I get to it.

[@jeremiahsmith916]

Bro it's just two 3* light cones anyway. Don't sweat it. You will realistically never be in a situation where 2 pulls is crucial to you. Absolute worst case scenario you spend 5 bucks on an immediate top-up. Are hours of your time worth just 5 bucks? Doubt it.

[@zaxtonhong3958]

I think it’s pretty reasonable to do thresholds 1 and 2. Even 3 is approachable for most players, I feel. Threshold 4+ is when things get stupid. So only 180 jades are locked behind the absurd stuff. Just over 1 single pull (AKA 3 days worth of dailies)

[@Cr3zant]

@@zaxtonhong3958 People will realistically lose more pulls from not being able to 3* the last part of MoC or PF due to not having Kafka/Acheron than they will from not doing Thresholds.

[@geminimaxxim]

This new mode is super exciting, but I am not looking forward to higher Thresholds if it's anything like Conundrum before. I'll never understand how people can solo Conundrum 12, when even with the best loadouts I can think of, I can't even beat Conundrum 4. Guoba, can you recommend any creators who have comprehensive and digestible guides for Conundrum in Gold & Gears? I'd love to finally be done with that mode, so I can focus on the new one.

[@luiss428]

wait, you can change your team from the get go? 😭 how did i forget that omfg, i kept looking for the downloader

[@AssailantAttacker]

I just like to say the UI is more persona inspired

[@aktodk4271]

I can't remember the name of it but i got a Curio that randomized my Equations ever time i entered a new domain that pretty much got me all them for the gallery

[@Shikao87]

I really enjoy the new DU and planars extraction is such great QoL! Sadly we have no achievements so far. Firefly is too strong for this 😂 Threshold 4 and no problems till now, good or bad RNG.

[@sparkwarrior3949]

Clearly the best reward from this mode is the new phone wallpaper.

[@StargazingCeres]

I never got used to the dice faces and other stuff about G&G, felt too confusing for my adhd brain to keep track of. Divergent universe is awesome though, I'm having so much more fun with it. Like, to the point of noticeably less sleep this week.

[@alria2133]

Normal Su you pick blessing to fit your team. Dsu you have to pick the team to fit the equation. But despite that, in this moment, dsu very lean on break.

[@Zen-mc6yb]

I already cleared it with just break team, Just need some RNG and getting that trio as last boss will make it easier.

[@GCPlugs]

Any way you can do a guide on swarm and gold&gears too? I just don’t really understand those and because of that, I haven’t really challenged them. I know Im missing tons of rewards from those two alone

[@Triforce9426]

Why does it feel like they try really hard to go out of there way to make these SU things as overly-complicated as possible?

[@yusufkarakaya1281]

nice content mate keep it up ❤

[@2Rice]

Do you know which equation gives the Ultimate = follow up? It's no longer an Elation blessing. I have seen a Crit DMG = follow, but that's the closest i've seen.

[@guobacertified]

There’s a weighted curio with something similar

[@V3ngefulDescendant]

I’m at a bit of a loss in terms of jade. Trying to figure out if it’s feasible to run E1 robin in place of ruan mei on my Firefly break team in the event I don’t manage to pull her

[@lopezclimb]

Its very cool this new mode but i think the moc, purefic and apocalyptic shadows have a lot of time of reset in general, should be one of this modes per week i think (okay with less rewards).
