Exactly, the only identity of remembrance is having a summon, that's it. The possibilities are endless. You could have them focused on DOT where the summon applying a random DOT and the character detonating it like Kafka, or they could be a healer and shielder where the character heals on skill and the summon applies a shield whenever they act.

Fugue is a must pull because she fundamentally changes the flow of combat by being able to double break enemy units, having permanent application of super break, delaying enemy timelines, and giving a DPS rainbow toughness breaking while also doing def down *cries in Silver Wolf* Xueyi + Fugue's rainbow toughness reduction is gonna go fucking absolutely nutty. Super break won't fall off any time soon... the shit I have seen people do to make E6 Arlan work because all you need to do is stack SPD and tank stats for mainstats and all Break Effect...

My thing is this: It's not that I don't WANT to pull for Fugue. It's moreso I CAN'T. I pulled Sunday and trying him out on other teams, he's definitely an improvement for my account. However, I've been waiting for Fugue for a very long time and I fear I won't have enough pulls to even get her. I no longer have guaranteed (Used on Sunday), so if I were to lose the 50/50, I'd be fine with Himeko E1, E2 Welt (IT'S BEEN AGES!!), or a E5 Bronya. I'd crash out if I get an E4 Bailu or an E1 Geppie. Edit: I'd also like to point out that I was a guy that didn't care for Sunday until trying out his kit.

Fugue is being slept on like Ruan Mei early on. She can elevate ALL units. A better version of the best path the MC has taken at present. What is there to lose? Personally, this comment isn’t to persuade anyone to pull. You get the waifu you want. I’m just saying that there isn’t a reason NOT to pull her in term of meta. I got Acheron and Jing Yuan. Another Lightning DPS will not help me whatsoever. My eruditions also got their best in slot teams already. I’m not pulling for Algaea or THE Herta. The desire to save for them will be what helps you get what you want.

[@blackdust7353]

I wouldn't really compare Fugue and Ruan Mei here. People who slept on her for whatever reason are just plain fucking stupid, poor (in-game) or simply missed her, as she was the first full team buffer with multiple buffs happening at once, fitting in almost every single team no problem, even our forgotten DoT team. Fugue is the new super break enabler, meaning her best team and probably most played one, is going to be based around super break. Just in terms of value alone, Ruan Mei still takes the cake here imo, especially since she would replace HMC and people who don't change them into Remembrance still have "budget" Fugue available. (no hate or anything, just my 2 cents about the comparison)

Not sure if it was covered in the video and it went over my head. but ontop of all of this, Fugue, and HMC super break actually stacks. so when you attack a broken enemy, the super break damage triggers twice for every instance. meaning more super break damage, ontop of the initial break damage and exo break. making her pretty insane.

Fugue may not be the top of the top but she have a complete kit for break which fix and enable many units Xueyi can now break anything and get stack faster with exo toughness Himeko is getting even stronger she's arguably the one who benefits the most of Fugue Rappa get a lot stronger too and less dependant of the number of enemies to get stacks Boothill can now get his stacks faster and be less dependant of his ultimate to break May even be able to create an Acheron superbreak.. Fugue feels "future proof" in a way that she does everything you need from a superbreak enabler.. and well it's sure new MC will be broken, even if he wasn't he can't stay harmony forever so he will needs a replacement at some points As for Firefly it's true she may progressively fall off due to her "simplicity" while other breakers can only go up, she have no other synergy than breaking, she already break everything regardless of elements, Fugue doesn't really add anything to her unlike other units

Considering Lingsha is a summoner breaker, a remembrance summoner on dps is going to be insane.

Not to mention Lingsha having a high attack volume, lets her generate stacks fast for Acheron. Then there's Hunt March who is going to just go crazy with Lingsha as a shifu, or Ratio getting a new alt fua team with them. The two of them cover so much for a team, that you can pretty much slot them in anywhere.

Lingsha is where they gotten the IDEA's to make summons :P cause of Fu Xuan being untargetable and never dies..so basically summons were a attempt to trying to nerf Lingsha. then they said why not make summons anyway. then decide nevermind only 40% pulled for Lingsha, so we can hold off the Rerun for indefinetly.

I'm also sure her ability to grant debuff application to all actions taken by other units will definitely never be utilized with characters that love debuff applications.

A Strong synergy that I'm not seeing a lot of people talking about and maybe it's not as strong as i think the numbers look. But they do look really good right next to each other. By pear luck I happen to have an E1S1 Lingsha. My Lingsha has an extra 50% weakness break efficiency and 20% def shred and increases dmg taken by 18% coupled with increasing super break dmg by 25% when enemies are inflicted with befog. If we include Fugue at S1 we are getting 100% uptime on superbreak by her simply existing, 23% def shred, the ability to reduce toughness regardless of weakness type by 50% of the orginal toughness dmg, and increases break dmg by 18%. Between both units u are getting 43% def shred, 36%increase dmg taken, with befog applied that goes up to 61% increase to dmg taken. To me that sounds extremely busted. Add fugue's E1 and Lingsha now has 100% weakness break efficiency. Slot Ruan Mei in, 150% weakness break efficiency. That E1 is looking mighty hard to pass up. And this duo can be slot anywhere since fugue makes every character a superbreak character. This is all caused by the fact that i luck sacked Lingsha's E1 and not everyone has that luck.

Dot is already countering itself with how slow/low the dmg goes even with kafka FUA until now hasn't seen much counter except elemental coverage...(Fexiao fixes it i guess) Hyper had took severe dmg during the past patches but it's recovering slowly Double dps is still on development (im not talking about jingliu/blade) but the only problem is your relics and support cover i guess If i missed something do tell me though 😂

See what I like fugue for is you can make anyone break so you can use your fav dps with her and break any element so that’s lit outside of her break team niche

[@valtir]

Fugue broke any fire weak pure fiction: himeko/fugue/ruan mei/DDD hmc is busted Himeko spamming her pizza cutter because every enemy now has 2 break bars, so it's easy to get 3 fua points with 5 onfield enemies Each break will give hmc 10 energy and we have infinite small enemies with 2 break bars to break/kill Hmc spamming their ultimate with the free energy they get, bringing everyone at the top of the turn list with DDD 👀

[@Masamune-XIII]

I'd consider Fugue as much as a must pull as Ruan Mei was when she first came out. I'm definitely biased for Tingyun though, also I'm sick of using the MC in my FF team, I hate that dancing ult so much. 😅

[@j3kwe]

Everyone does. Lol

[@stormyfac8670]

yeah me too, idk why they are are dancing when in war

[@ESOmike]

the other option I think plays a huge roll (at least for ftp players) is that summoner mc is coming... If you skip Fugue for Aglaea, you still have harmony MC for breaks. OR If you get Fugue and skip Aglaea, you will have summoner MC for Sunday to buff. As long as you get either Fugue or Aglaea you can still have 2 teams alive and kicking and I like being able to have that option.

[@drakehound2244]

that is why I told people to skip Sunday, with Sunday sadly you are locked into that Summoner META.. and they probaly pull for Algaea to warrant their pulling for Sunday. (but my recommendation is skipping Algaea to wait for Castorice) sadly with how they are now doing Algaea it is another Acheron. needs this and need that. while with Fugue you don't need anything. but this is discounting if you LOVE Sunday, then by all means pull Sunday. you hate Fugue, then by all means skip Fugue. never pull a character you HATE, and always pull a character you love. cause you need to slave it out and invest into those character. better do it with somebody you love then somebody you hate.

[@txfffy997]

In your opinion, if you only have enough pulls to guarantee fugue or the herta, which would you suggest pulling for? I already have all the super break members, and I probably plan to keep using hmc, and I really want herta and I think I’m gonna be too low to guarantee her and idk if I wanna risk the 50/50 for herta

[@GachaSmack07]

Honestly that’s a tough one man. I would say herta the emanator is probably gonna be insane because she will elevate the entire erudition path.

[@DrZephyr]

Honestly, if you dont plan on geting aglaea, then just get Big herta and use you HMC for break, but know that you wont be able to use RMC and therefore summon meta (at least withought a copium team) until you either get sunday or fugue. I dont know if you look at leaks so i will not spoil much but big Herta is insanely good.

[@drakehound2244]

If you are truely F2P so NO Montly Express, NO battle Pass, then save for Herta she is also made for F2P and her damage buff recently confirms it, F2P players lack damage. not so much utility. if you are Montly Express Battle Pass payer, then with the Free Jade in 3.0 you will get Herta definetly if you play every day. the extra bonus is garantee to pull Herta. But Fugue and Herta are made for F2P or like Gacha Smack says for casuals. who want to grow, Fugue is made for people who pulled old characters where the DPS didn't had that toughness reduction, Himeko Welt DHIL etc. to remain functioning in future. if you want Algaea cause you pulled Sunday, then you would skip on Fugue and Herta or have to pull out the wallet. one of the Reason I told people skip Sunday, Bronya functions well enough if you pulled her in the free ticket, you could have skipped Sunday.

[@teamalice115]

@@GachaSmack07 that’s kinda what I was thinking.

I Got to disagree with you on this one, she's not a must pull not any character really they can be must pulls in ones own book like hence for me is Aventurine and Fu Xuan, but its ones owns preference. I'll make it easy for yawl. These 3 up and coming characters are definitely getting power crept, I got word that there's 1 S -Tier and 1 S - Tier + long term Meta characters coming somewhere in the 3.0 patches where one will be meta in other patches this can change of course but, it's INSANE! {Aglaea & Herta~ A-Tier Characters} Both and Fugue all three characters are NOT must pulls!. Unless its a must pull in ones own Book of course. :) None of these are leaks there're theory's like everything else when it comes down to it. If I want characters to do better than her well ofc there probably will be characters that will make Fugue look like a pebble although she is an amazing break effect character and my most best team is break and I'm not pulling her... Funny.

[@drakehound2244]

Must Pull are characters that can fit into any team, and brings enough utility to fit any team. doesn't require anybody else. Like Lingsha Fugue and The Herta (does the Herta have any needed team member and boosted DPS already) , Acheron wasn't a must pull at all, why? cause she needed this and that. Fugue E0S0 Lingsha E0S0 and The Herta E0S0 works. not needed. that is what makes it a Must Pull, same as Fei Xiao E0S0. Robin E0S0 Ruan Mei E0S0 ... look at that a list of mustpull that works at a budget cost. all those E0S0 work in any team, are not optimal, but they atleast work. unless you don't want to play this game, then you don't need to pull anybody. and want to waste tons of bricked MATS on shitty 4 star. that get benched fast enough.

Why is sunday a Must Pull? cause of summons then maybe, cause Algaea isn't looking so hot currently with her nerfs and high Energy cost Ultimate, that you need Houhou to make it work. action advance, you can use Bronya, must pull cause you like Sunday, then I agree some characters are must pull for people. cause they like it. nothing to do with meta or not, a character you love is a better then a character you are forced to pull, one you invest time and effort into, the other you play with a grudge cause you wanted the other character.

I think the only problem with Fugue is that people are directly comparing her against Sunday, who is an absolutely disgusting creature that's a powercrept combination of Bronya, Sparkle, and Tingyun all crammed into one while also being THE Remembrance Support character guaranteeing him to be meta relevant, if not meta defining, for the next year or more to come. Meanwhile Fugue's role can still be filled by Harmony TB. She'll be way better, yes, but in a world where every Wish matters I can certainly understand how and why people are convincing themselves that "nah, she's not thaaat good".

[@ArvySan]

From what I experience, Bronya who back then was said to never be powercrept just got done TWICE, which means third time to happen is not impossible. And Fugu experience just like what topaz used to feel, Dps being compared to JingLiu and Vulnerability bring compared to Pela. Fugu being compared with Sunday, an ACTUAL support is kinda nuts 😅 Besides, people say it's a summon meta. Never thought of another summon character with Break kit huh. And MC evolves from time to time, unlike in genshin. I am looking forward to each new path, because soo far it ALWAYS help their player account and each time it's completely broken until the meta shifted, ain't got no time using HMC anymore

@@ArvySan Characters released in the same patch will always be compared against each other because that's how Pull economy works... Also, both Destruction and Preservation MC were pretty bad, I know PMC got some hype because of their Taunt, but they weren't any good at anything.

What's frustrating about Fugue is the fact that she is not the equivalent of Harmony MC. Fugue enables superbreak, but doesn't generate as much superbreak as Harmony MC. She only competes with Harmony MC when she is at E2. If Fugue's role is to enable superbreak, why not just get a new dps like "The Herta"? Superbreak just seems expensive.

[@GodofGoblins]

I don't think that is true. People ran numbers and she is an improvement over hmc for most super break teams except for firefly. Firefly is the sole exception due to the nature of her kit, thus people saying either fugue needs to be E1, or ff needs to be E2 for fugue to really shine with her. So in that perspective that is fair. But for boothill or rappa? No, E0 fugue is an improvement over hmc. We can argue if it's a substantial one or not, but she doesn't require E2 to be above hmc. There are a lot of factors to consider, like ddd or damage amplification etc, which people laid out, and yes. Fugue is an improvement. Just...not a GIGANTIC one, but an improvement nonetheless.
