Yesterday got erudition symbol on standard banner pull, got hyped for a second, but it just was her lc, still himekoless till this day..nice run, i tried 0 cycle autorun in moc with fei,march,robin and ruan, they did it on second try, now we don't need play game anymore:)

[@KenRurouni]

Well, at least you have the lc now xD. I still havent get her lightcone, thats why shes not even half built 🤣

[@ThatoneBirdIdk]

I have E1 himeko and I don’t have her sig LC can we trade?

[@greenvega]

@@ThatoneBirdIdk i wish that would be possible, but alas

[@topkekkek2135]

Damn Jiaoqiu is such a game changer for acheron in PF. My e0s1 acheron doesn't even come close to 40k with other nihilities

[@KenRurouni]

@@topkekkek2135 with the herta lc, he get his ultimate really quick. Free stacks for days 🤣

[@bewitted1169]

Have you seen seele 3 cost 0 cycles pf first side on CN using e0s0 seele, march, tingyun, and e1s0 robin? Shit is insane

[@KenRurouni]

I found Acheron’s best team this round to be JQ + Ruan Mei + Himeko which pretty consistently cleared with around 3 cycles left and is pretty auto friendly despite being sustain-less. I suspect Jade over Himeko would be able to keep up but I don’t have her to test. With sustain the best teams I found were Jiaoqiu + Ruan Mei + Aventurine and Jiaoqiu + Himeko + Aventurine, both capable of clearing with ~2 cycles left (though on auto there are some RNG elements that can lead to slower clears). I found that on side 1 Fu Xuan was a pretty good substitute for Aventurine, except in the case when paired with Ruan Mei (who enables Aven FUAs to inflict more debuffs). If you don’t have Jiaoqiu it seems to be better to not use any nihility teammates and just use Ruan Mei to enable FUA characters to inflict more debuffs. Although I don’t have Kafka or Swan so I cannot test DOTcheron. I do have some early vertical but I don't think it’s that impactful, Acheron only gets 1-2 turns here and is putting up much more damage than is needed (for now). I actually think having wind set on her would be ideal, but I don’t have wind set even on JQ so yeah, I suspect my results are not the ceiling. Anyway, Ruan Mei once again impresses me with her ability to be BiS in practice for characters the community usually doesn’t consider her to be a strong support for, to be honest I actually find her to be BiS for Acheron not just in PF but also in DU and against both 2.x weekly bosses, and often in AS as well. The other impression I’m left with is that Acheron still lacks strongly synergistic teammates outside of JQ, and has a lot of room to grow if Hoyo is willing to complete her team like they have for other archetypes. The fact her better teams for these modes uses Break’s harmony and FUA’s sustain and subdps is telling.

I wish I got jiaoqiu now I gotta save up

[@lucasjuliard4929]

If you switch Robin for Harmony TB do you get similar results?

[@Hndlse]

No

[@KenRurouni]

@@lucasjuliard4929 robin is crucial and not replacable for the team. Unless you go for full break on himeko and herta, the team wont really work. If you set it that way, I would say 30k+ is still doable not sure for 40k

[@liddelltae]

who i can put in acheron team instead of jiaoqiu?🥲

[@KenRurouni]

Hmm... I would say a well-built Herta can fit the spot, rely on Herta FuA to apply Ruanmei debuff.

[@AcheronStan]

Herta, Black swan or pela
