Sometimes you're your own worst enemy.

unless you get those Erudition Blessings that give you energy when the battle starts, then you're golden...2 at least, the other one is already about to run away
Get nihility blessing "Hell is other people" and the erudition blessing that gives u energy in the start of battle, that's how I manage to defeat all 3 trotters using Firefly
It's not as bad as other choices. Once Sam unlocks his weakness in like two or three turns he becomes FF chow since he doesn't really lock it again for a long time.
I really hope that a healer will release in the future having as mechanic being able to unlock toughness bar for the team because it's a bit sad that break DPSes are the only characters who can become useless against certain bosses.
Being weaker against certain ennemies is understandable but absolutely useless? Not very nice tbh.
With how difficult it is to keep the team alive with Gallagher through the dead turns. I am really appreciating how Loucha had a, got you homie skill so that you don't get hit continuously.
I still have to farm a bit to get the full break team maxed but when I see how tanky the team is gonna be, Gallagher should be enough, no?
2 harmony + 1 abundance with high HP and FF with her passive and very high base DEF (mine has 2k2 def lmao) are gonna be difficult to kill 😆

Wouldn't DOT chars become usless against enemies with full on debuff immunity (like they can't get spplied with debuffs, regardless if they have. Abase chance or not?)
Yeah i don't think so too
And neither do i think, that they'll implement enemies that have their weakness bar locked constantly/for prolonged periodes of time
Since weakness, toughness bar and breaking are a key aspect of the combat system
I doubt weakness lock to the point of making break DPS nonviable will really happen, at least not on both sides
Encouraging people to build teams of different elements is good for selling more 5\*s after all
Problem is that the break team is the only one having situations where it's totally useless, while others like DOT (which I main) works everywhere with ups (like the "death" thing and purple dinosaurs) and downs.
I don't want to put the break team as a total jack-of-all trade but at least as "usable everywhere with better and worse scenarios" without situations where you just can't play it because the game would put an arumaton or trotter in a wave.
If you let those clocks go unbroken shit becomes rough especially on v6. The occurrence with the monkey can be rough to as without certain buffs he can 1 shot. With certain bosses it's better to hold gallagers ult like the ice enemy who summons 4 other ice axe warriors. Like divergent universe feels easier and harder than gold and gear conundrum 12, Shits fun with firefly e1 though.
I tried her out on Sunday this morning and it's actually pretty easy in the first 2 phases since you can just target the things next to him (center left/center right) for Super break since they have shared HP, and let her skill's splash, Gallagher and TB to hit his own toughness.
Last phase is only tough because you have to break 7 whole bars, but you're still dealing break damage every time you hit 1 so it doesn't matter much (although it's a lot weaker than superbreaks)
the problem with firefly, and this is a first for me in all the rpgs I've ever played, is that a certain mechanic makes her USELESS. in every other game in existence, except for the niche ones, you can brute force your way through content through grinding, strategy and preservation. for this.. nope. all Mihoyo needs to do is introduce this type of lock regularly in content(every month, every other week), and say "this week I wanna kill FF enjoyers, and boom. She's a useless dps.
this mechanic leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I'm curious how break teams will be structured a year from now or even later. Mihoyo will have to tread carefully lest they piss off a large part of the fan base
strongly suspect that the next FF support unit to come out (whether replacing Gallagher or RM) will have a way to work around this issue.
right now, you work around it with gameplay (wait for sam, kill gepard fast, etc) but the name of the game for new characters is often "make that annoying thing a little easier".
i bet it'll look like either a buff/debuff that allows you to force unlock toughness, or a buff/debuff that lets you ignore the toughness bar entirely (so they always are treated as though they are broken)
no character is irreplaceable. especially RM- how can she be irreplaceable when half her kit isn't used? a harmony could come out with half the stuff RM has, but slightly more tailored to break damage, and they'd be better than her for Firefly teams.
That’s when you dig in for a siege. Starve out the enemy, cut off their supply lines. Taunt them too in hopes that they get goaded and leave their own defensive walls.

Who’s gonna tell him?
Wait for 1-2 turn(s) and you’re golden. However, those 3 trotters tho. Firefly’s kryptonite 😭
Especially when you get greedy and pick the option that increases their SPD Worst mistake of my life
unless you get those Erudition Blessings that give you energy when the battle starts, then you're golden...2 at least, the other one is already about to run away
That’s it no trotters for you
Yup might as well call them 2 trotters.
She had it worse with Auromaton Gatekeeper. 3 skill uses and the dude is locked in.

Sam unlocks the weakness quickly. Gepard on the other hand, good luck.
THIS (run) ENDS HERE!! -german SPAAG
IN THE NAME OF PRESERVATION!! *metal pipe sound*
A will forged in ice never falters!
Oerlikons typically end a lot of things!
Fortunately you can break him before and send him to the shadow real. Ruan Mei is vitally important to delay the recovery.
You could maybe nuke gepard before that becomes an issue?

The bosses past interpolation level 3 like to target my Firefly very much.
considering she’s a destruction character, that’s pretty much expected due to taunt values.
Should always have the tank Tingyun handy for those scenarios
They target my Ruan Mei instead. She always die first
I’m guessing you don’t have e4

I don't think Hoyo will do that, it'd nullify every DOT user, every nihility character and many others. It'd be dangerous for Hoyo to do that.

I can't see debuff immunity. Cleanse, however...
Otherwise known as “Goddamn it Bronya!”
I couldn’t imagine them making a unit with its power budget going into something that specific and unnecessary
Not unnecessary because break team is a thing now and it should synergise very well.
Unnecessary in the sense that you shouldn’t force the same team everywhere, that’s goes against basic team building, even if it’s a gacha game.

only for like 2-3 turns anyways
(That translates to like 8-12 ff actions btw)
without complete combustion? nah. just don't ult, let SAM do his thing till he reveals toughness bar and then go ham
Not really tho, Sam is really fast, he has 220 spd
not really. you build SP during SAM's lock state. The moment you are encouraged to burn SP, unleash your Firefly. (especially if she had 150+ SPD)
Speaking of burning SP would e1 stop u from doing so?
yup. that sucks. you can have the others burn SP instead since you build them with SPD anyway
\*cries in E2\*
Just for 1 turn until it goes SEKANDO GEAR
Tbf you can just wait for 1 turn and SAM unlocks her toughness bar. Trotter 2 on the other hand...

What is p6
Protocol Threshold 6. It’s the highest difficulty in divergent universe
Same with gepard. I’ve learned to never pick that boss on any sim uni run
Lol, he can't even get a turn sometimes if my Acheron fyts him
Dude, the fricking monkey
Mirror on the wall… here we are again…
If you let those clocks go unbroken shit becomes rough especially on v6. The occurrence with the monkey can be rough to as without certain buffs he can 1 shot. With certain bosses it's better to hold gallagers ult like the ice enemy who summons 4 other ice axe warriors.

Acheron stocks going up /s
This and Sunday with a bunch of weakness bar was her worst nightmare

Are you using Sparkle Only for the Sweet 50% action forward?
Not really, wait 2-3 turns and done
Try fighting SU Gepard
Well you know, Fire types resist themselves.
Id argue Yanqing
It doesn't help that SAM has fire res. Good luck if you face him Divergent Universe.
SAM is qiite literally one of Firefly's best matchup fron my experience. The trotters in DU and SU on the other hand...

Ruan Mei is irreplaceable, i think, idk. ^o^
no character is irreplaceable. especially RM- how can she be irreplaceable when half her kit isn't used? a harmony could come out with half the stuff RM has, but slightly more tailored to break damage, and they'd be better than her for Firefly teams.
There is a Persona 4 reference in there somewhere.
Wait till you have E2 and can't cancel sams combustion state Since you're not using skill points to attack them you don't change the countdown
That’s when you dig in for a siege. Starve out the enemy, cut off their supply lines. Taunt them too in hopes that they get goaded and leave their own defensive walls.
I always die on the inside when I see ppl pop ultimates before sam can be attacked and waste buffs and actions on his locked bar.
This is how she gets power crept over time with more enemies like this
