WuWa Talk: Tactical Hologram Day

Yeah, probably best to avoid WuWa subreddit for now...

2.3 Preview Livestream

Overall I enjoyed it. Loved the music performance interludes... including the orchestra performance at the end ♥! 

I've seen a glimpse of the chat during the stream so I already know there are going to be players complaining. I don't play a lot of gacha games but I know to always keep low expectations so anything extra (like a free Xiangli Yao) is just a bonus. This time I only look forward to what events we'll be getting & how it will affect my Rover, and I'm happy with what I see. So I'm one of those rare ones that can say "My expectations are met ♥"

Some random, happy thoughts about it:

• Carlotta handing maracas to Calcharo
  
  
  
  
• Zani's gameplay looks so cool! Unfortunately, I won't be pulling for her in my main account. Maybe only for my RuRu account since that one has Phoebe.
• Also looking forward to her companion quest. Looks like we'll be in a new area...?
• Honestly Ciaccona's gameplay seems like it has the potential to be annoying (during intense fights) for some reason XD... But I want her! She sounds like someone I want to have in my Aero Rover team :P (yeah, it's always because of Rover for me~)
• New phantom echoes! Including a red Crownless! Been obsessed with them since I got phantom Dreamless. Also, there's chance to get the ones from limited-time events.
• Anniversary sigils (I love my unique sigils)
  
  
  
  
• Birthday stuff!
  
  

  
  
  
• Resounding Waves - Anniversary in Numbers
  

  

  I think this is like WuWa's version of Spotify Wrapped???
  Definitely wanna see mine!

  
  
• Chance to get Yinlin & Changli's signature weapons again... not sure if I will pull but I'll keep it in mind.

Honestly though... some comments I saw on Reddit were acting very much like the Malay proverb "Diberi betis hendak paha" [literally: "Given the calf, want thigh", basically.. once you're given the calf, now you want the thigh. The meaning is "You get a bit of something and now you want more". I guess the English proverb equivalent would be "Give someone an inch and they'll take a mile")... but "calf and thigh" seem more appropriate given the attitude I saw during Cantarella's banner 😒]  

The general stats stuff though... these caught my attention:

Because there are so many Fusion resonators XD.. the standard ones alone already include three: Encore, Chixia & Mortefi. I remember worrying about it when I was still getting 2-3 boss materials per fight.

Oh hello my eternal(?) enemy from when my Rover is still Level 80~ Oh well, main account suffered so that I can defeat you "easily" in my other accounts XD

LOLLLLL because there was a time where Rovers been buying at max amount from Mahe's shop. Seen so many Reddit posts about it haha. I love how he was even called the richest person in Jinzhou in that one event...

Tactical Hologram Progress

Anyway, I'm tired of seeing the community complaining so today I decided to attempt some hologram fights (while I wait for my waveplates get to 60 haha).

Well... partly it's also because of the new combat event. I realised the bosses are their hologram version selves (I think?) so I kinda feel "left out" (because I'm not familiar with their attack patterns).

...and surprisingly, it has been a great day for me lol

Completed all Difficulty 6 for Huanglong's!

The last time I shared my progress, I only completed Difficulty 6 for Impermanence Heron & Mourning Aix. Then another day after that, I got Tempest Mephis' done. And I attempted again after having my Aero Rover & Changli built (with decent damage; Rover is using Sierra Gale set for now). Yeah, Brant was a great help for those three... unfortunately I couldn't use him for Inferno Rider. Today I decided to use Spectro Rover on him lol. I've seen people use her for solo fights with Inferno so I figured it should be fine. And I was right! It was very comfortable fighting using her! I also use food/potion buffs and revive when needed (like, why would you not??? It's not like you can spam-use them in one fight, there's cooldown time duh). I'm grateful that I don't need to restart so many times like what I've seen of others who attempted it.

My progress for Phantom Pain ones are this:

Triple healers team, let's go~! 😂

Only Sentry Construct is done for today... again, I'm thankful that I didn't need to attempt too many times like the horror I've seen on Youtube. Might try fighting Fallacy again later. Hecate and the dragon will need to wait until I get someone that can best use the echo buffs (Hecate and Lorelei, respectively) or ones with good stats.

Honestly, I'm not really a fan of Tactical Hologram fights because I'm scared of them XD (probably trauma from fighting Impermanence Heron for the first time *sigh*). Like, every time they announce new holograms I flinch in fear while cursing "F*ck" lol... but I guess I am skilled enough & able to fight them. It also looks like a good way to test how much I've familiarised with each resonators fighting styles so I should think of it as such... for study purposes.
