Hello Great Video, quick question please, I have E1S1 Ruan Mei, Should I go E2 Ruan Mei or E0S0 Firefly with S5 Fall of an Aeon? My main teams are DOT and Acheron. I almost have the Full IPC team except Topaz and Robin, so can’t play FUA.

[@zmm1337]

E1 RM is great already. I'd recommend saving or if you want firefly, then pull for e0 firefly!

[@iTrivyum]

How come a little holographic Firefly comms screen with her face pops up when you're choosing between skill and ultimate? mine never has that.

[@rsg_magfire]

The 4pc eagle addiction is real!

[@seekeyace]

i cant believe he still use it for the creator exp showcase

[@pink7522]

defo more of these types of videos, it validated a lot of assumptions I had for my pull priority, very informative and helpful especially for people who haven't obsessed about how to build their firefly for a week straight

[@reo5001]

This type of video is so informative. It’s great to see how each investment point changes her performance. I look forward to seeing more of this type of video in the future!

[@andrewphillips2520]

loved the comparison building up like this. keep it up!

Boothill bringing the "america" part in the 4pc eagle iykyk😂

[@ryukusa-vtuberclip7828]

It would be perfect if you make final conclusion with all the comp difference at the end for a lazy person like me, great video

[@thomasnguyen4427]

agree, the final results for each point only appears very briefly. Condensing them all together at the very end, and leaving it onscreen for an extensive period of time would be a lot more digestible. And easily findable by scrolling the timebar

[@TerraTheWise]

“Admits to being lazy and expects someone to do extra work for them.”

[@jeans.406]

Most people would appreciate a side-by-side infographic comparison summary at the end rather than personally pulling out pen and paper to note at every single segment. It's of course going to be extra work for better content. ​@@TerraTheWise

[@Zoulgm268]

I have a question guys I can't beat the Moc 5 even with my first team : Jingliu, Bronya, tingyun, lynx (most of them are well build or at least okay, jingliu with 200% crdmg) anf my second team is Acheron, pela, welt and fire mc (I cznt clear easily it's just my first team) should i try to upgrade my jingliu team and save for sparkle or jiaoqiu or pull firefly?

[@AjSunburst]

@@Zoulgm268 im in the same boat rn. Tbh ive been trying to run a FUA team w/ clara, adventruine, dr ratio and its doing just aswell as my DHIL A1 and JingluA0. I would start investing into break teams, the hyper carries are falling off bad :/

[@dovedub]

this was a very cool video! i appreciate your comparisons and looking forward to any future ones you decide to make!

[@mooffalo]

Amazing and informative video! Thank you!

[@Marro74]

This type of showcasing is very good, thank you, Zmm

[@adamaunya]

I love your new guide format!

[@MrNnaie]

This format is awesome! Most informative video out there and with no fluff.

[@mattc2626]

Great video, it’s exactly what I needed to know.

[@ikatsuwu]

That Boothill x FF was my favorite 🦅🔥 good video my friend and 50k subs 👀 amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@hafidhdharmawan8646]

This is the content im looking for, so much effort. Thank you!!

[@user-er2hf9cp4g]

love the video format, Hope you keep on making this format

[@TheFancypants510]

I like this format! I didn't even think about E1 alone not making that much of a change due to the ideal team already being SP positive. Keep it up 4pc Eagle man! :D

[@vincentlaurensius8714]

this video format's absolutely superb. plz keep making these!

[@ayushadiga480]

Please continue to make this content! It's so helpful for me and others!

[@miceo]

great format! awesome video. i will definitely go for e0 s1 (i just like the matching pic on light cone)

[@Readund]

Thank you so much for the extensive testing.

[@HalfMoon28]

This vid was amazing, good job

[@FoxImpactZero]

AMAZING content!!! Tks for made this video.

[@tokyovampire1]

This was extremely helpful thanks for making this

[@dacarei]

definitely the best firefly teams showcase video ive seen as I don't have ruan mei as of yet and don't plan on getting her lightcone, so showcasing the 3 star light cone on her and still seeing a massive difference is reassuring

[@TheDanteNero98]

Very informative guide! Please keep this series coming 🧨

[@tornado2308]

insanely comprehensive breakdown awesome

[@Elreid]

Damn, well done, subbed

[@nobody-mo1jr]

Firefly is just BROKEN 💀

[@ouillaflik]

Literally

[@romander8088]

Does she need e1 or e2 for comfort play?

[@skalamss]

​@@romander8088 no

[@akiaintit]

​@@romander8088e1 is great for comfort if you don't like to think about skill point usage, e2 is just broken

[@genshingamer1629]

​@@romander8088 not really, her best team (Ruan Mei, Harmony TB, Gallagher) don't use a ton of skill points, you might have a slight hiccup if u need to emergency heal, but ye she doesn't "need" E1 and E2, tho E1 does guarantee comfy gameplay skill point wise anyway.

[@mohd.salman9]

This is wild. So much science-ing. 10/10!

[@tintam9244]

Good format, I like it👍

[@Awquaaa]

Keep up the good work man

[@benjeff2817]

bro so good keep up the good videos

[@Mr3w]

thank you so much for testing! i'll stick with E0S0 firefly with herta's LC!

[@TheRickJF]

nice video keep it goin

[@Far-Reez]

Thanks for the video❤ I still have about 82 pulls that I want to spend on. But knowing I can clear MoC with Ruan Mei and FF E0S0 only, you make me save my precious jades for Lingsha or future fire-harmony-break character😂❤🎉

[@dankwolf442]

Excellent video. I pulled an single E0 Firefly so I could bring Ruan Mei from E0 up to E2 since she will benefit all team comps, not just one character. I was on the fence if I should upgrade Firefly to E1, but your video helped me decide to wait until Yunli comes out to cover physical class. I also have all of the feature 4-stars (Gallagher, Misha & Xueyi) at E6 so there isn't much incentive to keep pulling. Using a fully built Firefly as the auto-level character in divergent universe with E2 Ruan Mei is just insane. INSANE!!!

[@sabot7]

amazing video man, different investment showcases like this help f2p players a lot. i was gonna get eidolons or her lightcone but i hit hard pity 4 times trying to get her and ruan mei, and i lost my 50/50 twice as well ;-; glad i found this video though👍

[@cringe_magistr]

4:45 FOUR PIECE EAGLE MENTIONED 🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🔥🔥🗣️🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥

[@benpork8533]

9 different team comps. wow. very hard work.

[@ruderonin]

Appreciate it ❤❤

[@jonathanhh3728]

Really good stuff! One minor thing - def ignore is not the same as def shred. Pela ult is def shred

[@khairuddin7985]

Nice analysis about which team is the best with firefly also mc trailblazer will also by her side just to perfect

[@Kuraika1]

That boothill cheese was insane, very fun video

[@TheCrustiCroc]

Oh sheet, are you gonna do the same for Jade and Yunli too? This is incredible content.

[@kennethtristan1644]

love the new format keep it up!

[@s.if.4297]

Great video, lots of great info. I got firefly like 5 seconds in to the patch and im wondering if i should save or try to get Ruan Meis LC, How much of a difference does it have from Memories of the past in relation to firefly's DMG?

[@emman936]

This is a great content and reference for us trying to pull for her 🙆

[@bjornnilsson2941]

LOLed at the end. I was thinking isn't 4 pc. Eagle worthless on Firefly since she literally has 100% action advance on ult?? It's like building eagle on Sushang or Robin. At least you told us at the end 🤣

[@AdrasAdraki]

Isnt there any difference in how many skills hmc gets to use with e1 ff? Obviously this eidolon enables bronya which is the biggest upgrade but i was curious if it would mean more hmc dmg too.

[@blueblazedemon]

People can't be saying midfly now

[@Sam_0108]

this guide is fire

[@gyamfid.k5070]

Very good content

[@hotwheee1s]

stg you made the 4pc eagle my favorite set, i laughed when you busted it out again

[@_yet_8457]

Please do continue doing these investment videos

[@steffanocornejo6129]

This helped me a lot bc I struggled on deciding to get Ruan Mei lc or firefly lc

[@invertbrid]

6:55 if only 1% difference with E1 vs S1, then shouldn't E1 be better? Coz SP saving can make her potentially be used in PF alongside himeko without SP issues, also enable her in dual dps break team in the future perhaps. While S1 mainly just DMG.

[@Cody-ve1gk]

Yeah Prolly and e1 also brings u closer to her e2 which is really good

[@itsmesoru]

this type of content is perfect, it's easy to say "oh, this lightcone/this eidolon is an x% increase" but seeing it in a more practical "but does it really matter?" sense with the comparisons in clear score is exactly the perspective people need

[@GVS2001]

tysm

[@mugurel1357]

i have a question, if i play Firefly main team (Ruan Mei, FireFly, Galigar, MC) on AUTO, what's the difference between E0 vs E1 ?

[@moza1793]

I love this new format 🔥 Can you also do this with older chara as well? I personally would love to see jingliu, himeko, ratio, or even seele for their performance in current stage. Btw, lost 50 50 to himeko. Now I have e2 himeko and I don't know what to do...

[@Shiroeel]

Does attack buff worth for ff ? I hear that atk of ff can change into BE how about he getting buff atk and does it work?

[@Yenrei]

4:44 ah yes, NOW its a zeto video

[@elegyselunes9356]

i managed to get E2s1 SAM with about 230 pulls. She's do going crazy in the new MOC.

[@themitchell1188]

Lucky!! I used 320 pulls so far and only got E1S1. When I pulled Acheron I got her E2S1 in under 100 pulls so I'd imagine I used my luck for the year.🤷

[@Kindi001]

dang mine 145 ish E1 S1 too. and lose to Himeko kinda early. tho i might able to get my last Firefly for E2 if i really squize my resource

[@iremori]

I got E1S1 too in 100 pulls. Imma keep pulling for E2 though.

[@Harkz0r]

I got very similar results, maybe 10 or 20 more pulls. She is nuts tho, near effortless 0 cycle on both sides of MoC, 3700-3800+ pts in AS, and I even got 37k points in a Pure Fiction run on her team using DDD Asta. The E2 secret sauce is for sure on the level of Acheron and DHIL in how much it elevates her kit. She's like Destruction Break Seele, only downside is the cooldown on the passive but she gets so many turns...

[@Sol_Laviathan]

​@@themitchell1188I got E1S1 with 160 pull should I push my luck and get E2 😅

[@handlerone5172]

Honestly helped me decide. I lost my second 50\50 so now I'm guaranteed Jade but was thinking of pushing to E1. Acheron is the only character I have every got eidolons for but Firefly has met my expectations at E0. If anything, I will grab her lightcone because she deserves it.

[@faizr597]

i have e1s1 firefly rn and no ruan mei, is it better go for ruan mei or e2 firefly?

[@elionaballa2818]

id say ruan mei, you can always save in the future for firefly or if you get somehow lucky may get her before the banner ends

[@kazekori9593]

Why'd you mention bronya being good with e1 firefly then refuse to test it???

[@thornszk]

At eO, that will struggle with SP I assume.

[@jomama2642]

I was able to get 3 fireflies, ruan mei, and ruan mei’s lightcone all in around 210 pulls and it is so insane

[@Dreoni_]

What about rm s1, is it worth it on the team?

[@bryanjason7202]

Nice video, I just have a question for my account. If I use pela with def shred lc instead of Ruan mei and have e1 ff adding more defense shred, would that make up for not having Ruan Mei?

[@hxrukun]

ruan mei gives break eff. and dmg boost, with res pen, which is a lot more valuable than def shred. if you don't have ruan mei, pela is ABSOLUTELY amazing for the team, and is good either way for a substitution of ruan mei

[@hxrukun]

please note that ff e1 is def ignore, not def shred.

[@mantapbro5871]

Can you try hyperspeed bronya with e2 firefly?

[@Kasaiiix]

finally got her e2 after suffering from the clara spook, should i pull for firefly or ruan mei lc next?

[@mraihanmaulaakbar6369]

3:37 but isnt the 0 cycle only require you 200.1 speed to get 3 turn in that cycle, so isnt 141 already enough? (you get 10 from RM and 60 from her ult)

[@cyberjeeb]

very helpfull. I still need e2 galliger so I'm building pity on raunmeis e1 instead

[@bruhmuch4116]

I could not find her relic set. Is it because I’m behind in story?

[@someguy6736]

im still a bit confused why i should pull ruan mei lc instead of firefly lc?

[@piccion_napuletan1885]

What do yall recommend, should i pull for ruan mei (i dont have her) or for fireflys light cone or her E1?

[@elionaballa2818]

Is this even a question? ofc go for ruan mei. She is broken for firefly and if you wanna see your firefly shine ruan mei is the answer(and harmony mc). Which is funny cause ruan mei is trying to make a copy of a bug that destroyed fireflies friends and killed them all but it izzz what it izz

[@pc9358]

I have her E1S1 at the moment, and I have enough to try the 50/50 again for her E2, should I go for it or just save my jades? Do note I won both 50/50's for her E0 and E1 and I doubt I'll win again.

[@hxrukun]

you shouldve gone for her e2 since it is a significant dmg increase for her, but you can stay at e1s1, since its already amazing for her, but if you wanna try your luck, you can try to get e2 since you'll get extra turns, in short, better dmg, so try, and if you lose your 50/50's, at least you still can pull for other chars.

[@yereem]

Not sure to understand so if someone goes, E2 they should go 4pc eagle ?

[@Rayichiban]

How much BE exactly do I need for Firefly? (for s0 anf s1)?

[@hxrukun]

For E0S1 Ff, try getting 2,200-2,500 atk, and 240%~ BE out of combat

[@HazZzel-]

If you haven't done it yet, would you consider doing a Boothill version? I'm uncertain if I want ruan mei, but I want him to do his best

[@loqztv]

Awesome video! Can you try optimizing FF for PureFiction and see if she could get 40k? Like maybe a team with Himeko in it would be a good start!

[@iTrivyum]

How come a little holographic Firefly comms screen with her face pops up when you're choosing between skill and ultimate? mine never has that.

[@chaosgameryt5018]

What if sparkle is used instead of bronya in the low investment? Or maybe tingyun ?

[@S4K4Moto]

boy do I enjoy this Boothill video 🗿🍷

[@Beesiess]

god tier video to watch while i eat my breakfast

[@user-ux2hs8bb7o]

What about Misha light cone? In comparison with fall of aeon

[@arcanith]

can anyone tell me more about why should we E2+F2P LC more than E1S1? im already at E1 rn cuz of luck and been pulling LC for now

[@arcogames3434]

Good Guide

[@JJennerUK]

FF is crazy, mine with level 5 traces, No Planar set and the new set with only 5% Break Effect was hitting 150k on three targets. My fully built Jingliu hits for that. That's crazy to me

[@kuhaku9635]

you didnt try e1s0 with bronya instead of galla?

[@hassantariq266]

Yeehaw build got me rollin'

[@TropicalYtmario4life]

Would robin work if I don’t have ruan mei?

[@Mr3w]

Guys so I kinda have a small issue for the MC, I have memory of the past LC S0 while Dance Dance Dance S3, Which one is more viable to use?

[@hxrukun]

MotP is good on hmc, but since its at e0 i wouldn't really recommend it, but still, you should look at your BE stat, if you can reach 200~% BE on hmc w/o MotP you can use DDD, but do note that MotP gives energy per basic.

[@hxrukun]

don't forget to use vonwacq if u can to get 105% err or and err rope with 180-200+% BE

[@Hxpnoticghost]

I got Clara 3 fireflies 1 lc and ruan mei in 170 wishes but it was my birthday so maybe birthday luck

[@10640404]

I’ve gotta finish building my imaginary trailblazer. I’ve been using others people’s so far and they are pretty good with her.

[@eh1165]

A quick question: I have e0s0 Firefly and E1S0 RM. Should i get RM's lc? I already have s5 MOTP and another s4 MOTP i use on HMC so idk if it'd be that big of a difference. But i do love both dot and break teams which could benefit from it Update: I got E2S1 Firefly in the end 😭 her LC is kinda useless but I use aeon on my e2 dhil so lemme cope

[@hxrukun]

MotP is amazing for ruan mei and hmc, and if you have extra pulls, pull her sig, but otherwise, no. MotP is a good alternative for her sig, and theyre similar anyways, so you can choose to save your jades if u want.

[@eh1165]

@@hxrukun Yeah, I decided I need to skip her LC because I want a lot of the upcoming characters 😔

[@elionaballa2818]

I wanted gallagher and got him and e1 firefly, yep there goes my luck for the rest of the year

[@placeholder7213]

im running a sam rm hmc bronya comp and it generally works way better than the same comp with gallagher i am at e2 and bronya is slower than sam by a bit but so far its been running extremely well
