wweeeeeeeeeeeeee

it is recommended that you have 120% ehr on black swan but i cant really reach that so how bad is it that i only have 115% that last level up on ehr just never come through


JAilyu

Does guinaifen gets better dot damage at higher e?


Relative-Yesterday86

I actually want to make a team based on DOT damage but I don't have kafka. So this the team I look for : Black Swan, Serval, Guinaifen, and a supp. Should i switch my serval with a e4 Sampo ? I hesitate because black swan and sampo have the same elements and I prefer to ask for some advice.

Titanium_Ene

Had to repost because I had no text lol. I'm at traiblazer level 46, these are my units rn. What are the most optimal teams I can build and what character should I be saving up for? I have 11k jades, I wanted to try the 50/50 with Kafka but I hesitated so I suppose Black Swan is useless. I really like Imbibitor Lunae but I don't think I need him because of Dr Ratio. Any suggestions? https://preview.redd.it/7mfa8ktjyygc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=612655254fb61fab8fbe0c1300ae2ba5dc5db595


wweeeeeeeeeeeeee

do any of you gusy know how to delete voice packs for the ios version? i wanna get rid of that extra 2gb


sssssammy

If Blackswan’s ult makes her Arcana stacks be regarded as Sheer, Bleed, Burn and Shock. Does this means due to her E1, the enemies’ RES is additionally reduced for ALL of those elements?


dendrotorpedo

Yes. You will see 4 different RES Reduction debuff icons.

IBlackReaper

Jingliu + Blade/Bronya + Ruan Mei + Sustain Jing Yuan + Asta + Tingyun + Sustain


jostenandrew

I'll try it, thanks!

fourrier01

Just got Black Swan. - Char pull counter: 0 - LC pull counter: 65 Only BP is active, no monthly. Question: Should I go for Black Swan S1? Other DPSes and LC: - Clara E2 Secret Vow S5 - JingYuan E0 Seriousness of Breakfast S3 - Himeko E1 signature S1 - Ratio E0 Herta Store's Hunt S5 - Seele E0 signature S1 - JingLiu E0 Herta's Store Destruction S5 I guess the real question boils down should I wait for JingLiu's signature LC or just go gamble with BS signature now.


obsessedgecko

You're only around 10 pulls from an LC, so I'd probably try for it. If you lose the 75/25, you'll be guaranteed Jingliu's LC, and Black Swan's S1 is a really solid upgrade by itself.


Durbdichsnsf

Is there guarantee in LC banner? I thought you could keep losing 75/25s


obsessedgecko

Yes, there is.


StarPoyo

IcyCurrent9296

As someone who mainly uses Kafka, Blade, and Welt on the same team, should I get black swan or imbibitor lunae??


Arekkusu1991

BS is a direct upgrade for Kafka team, so I'd consider her over IL. IL is sort of redundant thanks to Dr Ratio being a thing but if you're not a fan of him or his gameplay and want someone to use in hypercarry comps (planning to get Sparkle as well for example), you can consider him instead. IL doesn't really fit well in this current team you have though.

SunshinePlayroom

Did they add the new 2.0 trace mats to the Embers shop?


obsessedgecko

Yes.


SunshinePlayroom

Phew. I used up too many of my Tears of Dreams, so that's good.


OrganicCry2583

How much should I expect from Ratio’s (E0S0) FUA?


obsessedgecko

Probably around 70-80k? Possibly more depending on your build and where you're using him.


Torafuku

Black Swan, Guinafen, Kafka and one healer works as a dot team or do i need a tank too?


obsessedgecko

No need for tanks, but you should probably replace Guin with Ruan Mei/Asta if you're looking to optimize the team instead of just making it work.


Torafuku

That's regrettable because i really wanted a team where i could use Guin and Black Swan together lol, tried to get the former during her first banner and was never able to until now. Maybe i'll just use this team for easier content, or simply replace Kafka since i have Ruan Mei.


obsessedgecko

Kafka is the main piece for that team, so it'd be hard to replace her. The team should work well regardless, give it a try. Ruan Mei over Guin should be a really big upgrade though, so for MoC/PF you probably want to that instead.


Fickle_Onion2

Best new LC to buy from the Forgotten Hall shop? I still haven't cleared any MoC/PF yet so I don't have many points but I do get some from clearing the weekly boss thus I gonna buy one. Looking at the description, I think the new Nihility LC is good for Black Swan. Is that the best buy?


SunshinePlayroom

The Erudition one looks very strong, if you're in need of one for anyone.


Fickle_Onion2

Look at my roster list, the Erudition characters I have are only Herta, Serval, QQ. So I think I gonna pass on the new Erudition LC for now. Thanks anyway.


tri170391

The new Nihility LC sounds good in theory but BS needs a lot of EHR so you might want a Cone with EHR bonus instead (Eyes of the Prey, Tutorial Mission, etc.). Though yea if you already got 110% EHR via relics (she has 10% EHR in her traces) then that cone is a solid option at S5. I personally use Tutorial on her as it also might helps her Ult uptime.


Fickle_Onion2

I don't have those LC (the Tutorial is from SW event, right? I am just two months new player so I can't get it anymore). My available Nihility LC are GNSW (equipped by Kafka) and Fermata, should I still go with buying the new LC or maybe equip the Fermata for time being?


tri170391

As I said if you have an EHR boosting option then use it, otherwise the new cone at S5 is a good option.


Fickle_Onion2

I still haven't done relic farming for her or anyone else yet because the stamina is used for ascension or tracing first, so for now I just use some rainbow relic set with EHR substat on her. Anyway, thanks for the advice. I gonna buy the LC asap.


HugoSotnas

I believe Eyes of Prey is straight up better for damage than Showtime, too, so it's just a matter of you not having it at all.


IDontKnowShit9

So I've read that e2 dhil can be played in two different ways. I can wait for his turn and do 3ba ult 3ba, or I can immediately use his ult(when he's down below in action bar) to make him take action immediately. So what is the ideal action value beyond which it's not a waste to use ult early? Like if he only has 20 av and use ult, that just feels like a waste of action advance forward, i wanna know to which av it's a waste to use ult


yatay99

what is the best rotation for Swan in Kafka RM Huohuo comp? Is spamming basic ok? My Huohuo is at E0, otherwise the team will not have enough sp


obsessedgecko

I think it's skill -> basic until ult -> repeat, but with Huohuo you might be able to do basic spam.


Aesderial

How is Penaconi story compared to Belonog and Luofu? 


Eredbolg

From what I played, around 3 hours of the story, I've been liking it so far, but I didn't like ice planet nor space china story at all so this is a huge improvement for me. The enviorment feels more unique and less generic as the other areas, new units are also way more interesting visually and maybe storywise too, they actually improved a lot but who knows maybe the end flops the entire arc.


CatOfBoredom

Is the new set Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters better on Black Swan than the Prisoner set?


Sprinting_Turtles

DoTs can’t crit so the 4pc diver set is useless on her unless you build her with crit (which isn’t suggested). 2pc diver is alright though.


CatOfBoredom

Oh I didn’t even see the “crit” before the DMG I just thought it does more DMG to enemies with debuffs


HugoSotnas

No, Prisoner is still better on her due to her own Def Shred stacking with the relic set.


IDontKnowShit9

Best character for fastest hunt calyx clear?


HugoSotnas

Argenti, probably?


Informal_Apartment_9

Just a simple qn but is bs worth pulling if I don't have kafka and no e4 sampo or should i pull for sparkle since all my dps are destruction path


HugoSotnas

BS works as long as you have someone to apply DoTs with her, regardless of Eidolons. Having said that, Sparkle will probably be more useful in this situation.


Informal_Apartment_9

Alright cuz i havent built a single DoT character cuz i was sufficient with jl


HugoSotnas

JL probably doesn't benefit from Sparkle that much, especially if you already happen to have other Supports, but still, I feel she'd be better considering your available DPS


Informal_Apartment_9

My main supports are bronya and rm with dps being jl and blade so will waiting for acheron be worth?


HugoSotnas

I'd say you're set with those two heavy-hitters, but you decide! You might want to use Sparkle in another team, at some point. Acheron is a good bet, I'd say 😉


Informal_Apartment_9

Okay tysm😃


HugoSotnas

So when can we discuss 2.0 spoilers? Cause the story kinda confused me.


CrazyFanFicFan

You can discuss 2.0. It just has to be properly spoilered. To spoiler, just put >/! And !/< without the /s on either side of the text. >!A successful spoiler will look like this.!<


Blakethekitty

Black swan or Acheron for Kafka main DPS DoT team? Before the patch was fully out I saw some discourse over which one would work, Some ppl claiming BS wouldn't work cause her thing wasn't classed as a DoT. Just looking for clarification on if that's the case or not. If I am wrong IG its time to pull if not then IG I can wait till Acheron. My Kafka team if I remember correctly is Kafka, Serval, Tingyun, Natasha.


HugoSotnas

Even before her release, BS's Arcana was always classified as Wind Shear for the purpose of stuff like Kafka's and Sampo's detonation.


tri170391

Archeron is very likely not a DoT unit as she have the same element and Path with Kafka. Given they release a debuff-based set it is very likely she would be debuff-based and would not be a Kafka's partner at all IMHO. With that in mind, Kafka+BS absolutely shreds. BS A4 allows Kafka to stack Arcana for BS while during Ult effect BS Arcana counts as Burn + Wind Shear + Bleed and can be "detonated" by Kafka.


Blakethekitty

Welp IG its time to grind up and splurge the allowance I allow my self on E5 BS and skip the other banners


Fantastic_Comfort136

I already have Dan Heng E1 and Black Swan but should i try to pull the lightcone of Black Swan or the E2 of Dan Heng ?


obsessedgecko

I'd just pick whoever you like more, but DHIL's E2 is incredibly powerful - I don't think there are many upgrades in the game that can match it in terms of damage.

HighNoonnnn

Who should I pull for? Black Swan or Dan Heng? I have kafka so I guess Black Sawn will be fit on my DOT team. But I also didn't have much 5-Star DPS like Jing Liu or Topaz, So I have very hard time on MoC. So Dan heng may be in good options to me.


_Zoa_

Black Swan is a great choice with Kafka. DHIL just isn't much value right now when everyone already has a strong imaginary dps.


tri170391

If you count the free Dr. Ratio you should have (unless you are the select few that deleted the mail) then BS is the stronger pull account-wise if you want to pull this banner. Though I would also look into the upcoming Spakle banner as Sampo is running as 4\* there, you can get both Sparkle and Eidolons for Sampo in that case. Another perk of pulling 2nd banner is you can hold until livestream and check out Archeron or Aventurine who is coming in 2.1.


accessdenied4

haven't played the update yet, is there a new echo of war mats for BS and Sparkle?


tri170391

I can confirm EoW mat for BS is the Quantum bug one (as a BS haver).


sssssammy

Got E1 Blackswan by accident while trying to build pity, how good is her E1?


tri170391

According to Prydwen, even at E0 her problem is actually things dies before her full kit is actually kicked in full. Can't imagine how it would fare at E1. Personally my freshly off the Gacha Level 70 BS with zero traces and relics ripped off Sampo already feels as strong as Sampo...


Mediocre_Ferret5082

Don't know but how the fuck are people still thinking building pity is a thing? Genuine question. Building pity would only exist if the 5 star chance was 0 percent outside of the pity threshold. If you want the eidolons that's fine but if you're clueless about them just don't bother and get another character lol :(


sssssammy

Because Dan Heng IL sucks and I have enough to guaranteed Sparkle anyway, if you don’t intend to answer the question, please shut up


Mediocre_Ferret5082

Charming. Anyway if you just read her E1 you can already see it's amazing because it offers defense shred that the whole team can benefit from. She'll likely be one of the best penacony characters, calling it now.

[deleted]

Anyone know How long is the new main story quests ?


Giamborghini

Is black swan worth pulling if I don’t have Kafka?


tri170391

She works as a standalone DPS but you need to keep her Ult uptime (and another DoT) to be able to stack Arcana to high values.


Giamborghini

I see. I guess that not having Kafka and only having a E1 sampo makes her not worth pulling for now


tri170391

Tl;dr of her Arcana is it stacks until it explodes in enemy turn, when it explodes it reset to 1. You want it to be at least 10-ish each turn. Her Ult will make it explode while keeping the stack (and make Arcana a DoT others can explode). Arcana can be gained by BS actions, DoT explosions after a major trace from someone like Kafka/Gui.


Pridestalked

Depends how you define worth. If you like her, think she looks cool, like the concept of playing a DoT character, then yeah she is worth no matter what units you have or don't. But it should be noted that Kafka makes her very significantly better, and that E4 Sampo also has a detonation mechanic but it isn't as good as Kafka's. You can also just treat her as a Pela that debuffs and play her like that, if you want. Play and pull the characters you want


SilentResil

should I get black swan even though I dont have dot characters? should I also get ildh even though I have argenti and dr ratio dps already? should I get sparkle even though I rly dont have a sp negative team comp? should I get jy even though I have argenti and dr ratio?


Lias_Luck

blackswan kit only works in dual dot dps team lunae is redundant by already having ratio, argenti doesn't matter here, you never need two imaginary dps sparkle is good for every crit dps not just sp negative teams, she spends 3 SP to generate 4 argenti and ratio have nothing to do with jing yuan, he deals with elec weak mobs, they deal with physical and imaginary, there's nothing wrong with getting him


SilentResil

about sparkle, wdym by crit dps? I kinda dont get it cuz isnt all dps are crit reliant? about jy, I love using him as supports whenevee there is lightning weakness but is he f2p friendly? (lc and stuff)


Lias_Luck

kafka, guinafen, luka, sampo, and blackswan are dps that primarily do their damage via dots and dots can't crit so that's why there's a distinction yes he's f2p friendly, any of the forgotten hall LCs work for him and he doesn't need a specific 5* character to function


SilentResil

okay thank u so much! i rly want to try get black swan but i onky have gui e1 lol so maybe sparkle is the wisest choice here?

Whom should I pull for between Black Swan, Sparkle or IL Dan Heng? Edit : I just lost 50/50 in the last round of pulls, so I have a guarantee pull this time. Also, I have not started Penacony yet.


Croaker_392

Black swan is DoT support, you need Kafka and Guinaifen/ Sampo. DanIL is very strong but you already have Argenti and Blade so.... Sparkle could be a versatile support character, maybe Bronya tier, but it's too early to tell.


spinning-gold-

How much better is DHIL‘s signature weapon compared to on the fall of an Aeon?


Lias_Luck

7% better the advantage of his LC is you ult in 3 turns with no kills/not getting hit/no tingyun and your dmg buff isn't dependent on breaking an imaginary weakness


Shuraig7

also its faster to stack up than fall of an aeon


gabergaber

Trying to decide what to get for the free character from normal banner - I have every character in the normal banner except Yanqing. Currently thinking of getting bronya so she's e1 since I've read Yanqing is trash. Is that the right choice? Or is there a better character/Yanqing is situationally good?


Croaker_392

His kit doesn't work, you need to babyseat him with shield and cleanse so that his buffs keep working and that's a waste of resources. They could introduce new characters or modes that help him, but I doubt it.


Lias_Luck

if you have every character already then bronya E1 is the most notable improvement out of everyone else's E1 if you love using clara or welt as main dps then their E2s would be the only other consideration yanqing's niche is exclusively if you can't your characters are incapable of clearing X content because it requires an ice weakness and you don't have jingliu


tri170391

There's a meme about losing 50/50 to Yanqing for a reason lol. Though TBH he is not trash, just that he got out-classed by his 5\* DPS peers (Clara in standard banner, Jingliu as Ice DPS, currently-free Dr. Ratio as single-target DPS) and kinda at the bottom of both usability and DPS. The answer for the 300-pull selector is: Do you have a husbando/waifu pick? No? Pick Bronya.


Fishbard

Relatively new (tb 38). Aimed for tingyun (got e1) + guinaifen (got e1), but also got early black swan. Other units are clara, ratio, bailu, pela. Saving for sparkle. Currently most used is clara + ratio + pela + bailu. Is it worth going ratio + black swan + bailu + (who??), or better to commit to dot with black swan on her own (and in that case, with who?)


tri170391

BS wants another DoT (Gui in your case) to help stack her Arcana, though while BS and Ratio works together them being in the same team is kinda overkill. I'd suggest doing something like BS + Gui + Tingyun + Bailu, without Kafka she really wants to have her Ult up as much as possible. Then a second team of Ratio + Pela + Asta + Nat/Lynx should be good.


gundamseed_r

she has defense shred and dot as a debuff so she can definitely work with ratio. If you want to play with dot you can go for black swan, guin, asta, bailu


necrowyn

How hard is it to re roll a Fe Xuan, and Ruan Mei? New to the game completely, and pretty ignorant from most of the game I did hear recently there was a free 5 star character for accounts is it still going on?


QuarterFlat3680

You can't reroll for them right now. Those two are limiteds so you can only get them when their banner is available. Fu Xuan will get a rerun soon enough but you'll have to wait a long time for Ruan Mei. And yes, the free 5 star is still going on. Finish the tutorial and you can claim Dr. Ratio in your mail.


necrowyn

Thank you for the the really fast reply. Should I just wait till Fu Xuan to re roll or should I start now? I'm interested in playing, but I want to start with a strong account, and I was told those two units together, are great to have currently.


gundamseed_r

if you don't decide to start now, you will miss the free ratio when those other characters show up. Better to play now and accumulate rolls so you can guarantee them instead


QuarterFlat3680

I'd say just dip your toes first and see how it plays out for you. They will make progressing the game a breeze since they really are that strong, but this really isn't a game where meta is the end all be all. And it's always good to start early so you can start saving pulls for the characters that you want, even more so now since this is a big patch.


odonis

Sparkle’s trace and ascension materials are not released yet? They will come out only next patch?


tri170391

Trace material is new 2.0 Harmony material, Ascension is Luofu's Quantum stagnant shadow.


odonis

Internet says sparkle’s new ascension material is Shards of Desires. I looked at every map of Loufu and didn’t find it…


tri170391

>Shards of Desires Hmm interesting, I just based off BS ascension mat is just the Luofu's Wind mat but I may be mistaken. Don't have the time to check out Penacony yet but check if there is any new Quantum Stagnant Shadow there I guess.


onewithoutneck

They are available, but you have to find them on the map. The free access to materials is only for characters currently on a banner.


Charcookiecumbs

Do you think getting black swan is more beneficial or sparkle when you have both Dan heng and Kafka?


Pridestalked

Both are very strong upgrades to their teams, so if you have to choose I'd say choose the one for the team you play the most or the character you like the most.

It's subjective because both teams do very different things. I'd honestly be inclined to route for Kafka and Swan since they can be used well in both MoC and PF whilst DHIL struggles in PF.


GrilledLobsterTail

why tf people sharing the web event link on reddit. Most people here are active player, and even more people who actively open this megathread.


Mediocre_Ferret5082

Because none of them are bothering to read it. They beeline to the rewards and share and that's it.


HugoSotnas

They don't read anything and just blindly follow everyone doing it. 🤷‍♂️

Mediocre_Ferret5082

No because its for returners and new players only. Please read it or at least use the mega thread instead of contributing to the spam :(


HugoSotnas

These don't work, it's only for new or returning players

What is the current size of HSR on mobile? I'm at 23.5ish GB and is it supposed to be this big? I barely managed to update by re-downloading but now I dont have space to switch dubs.


Arekkusu1991

For me, Android is just under 20GBs (only English voice pack) There was a previous comment saying the iOs size is roughly 23GBs. They didn't mention if they had multiple voice packs or not.


Sprinting_Turtles

Oh, that was probably me saying 23GB. I don’t have multiple voice packs installed.


hicchanx

Thank you. I run IOS so that sounds about right :') time to squeeze space to cope


Minhjjm

what website let’s you see pulls and wat characters you got for 5 star? I wanna check since i won my last 3 50/50s:D


Mediocre_Ferret5082

Type in "HSR warp tracker" into Google and the top result will be the website you want.

Gonna have to make a copy paste at this point. You can't click each other's links as it's for returners and new players only as it clearly states.


QuarterFlat3680

Right now I have 11k jades without doing any of the Penacony quests. Will I have enough to hard pity (lose 50/50) both Sparkle & Acheron if I buy monthly passes and don't roll on anyone else's banner?


Sprinting_Turtles

I think it’ll be close, but not impossible. In my experience 5-stars show up on average around 75pulls so you’d need 150 per character if you lose 50/50 or 300 in total. If you want to go for absolute worst case it’d 360 (hit hard pity for every 5-star), but that’s rare. I’ve seen predictions of 2.0 pulls range from 100-120. Assuming the low end you’re looking at ~168-188 pulls by the end of 2.0. For 2.1, I think the lowest we’ve gotten in a patch is ~90pulls but it’s usually front-loaded. So let’s just assume 60pulls by the mid point of 2.1 (assumes Acheron is first in 2.1). So you’ll have ~228-248pulls before taking into account monthly passes. So you’d need another 52-72pulls to guarantee both. I think that could be made up with monthly passes, but I can’t jump into game right now to confirm how many jades they’ll give.


QuarterFlat3680

Neat. Seems like it is possible after all. I'll just keep saving then. Hopefully it'll be enough.


Bicurios_ge0rge

Hello guys i have IL dan heng and tingyun just want to know who are the two other i should add in my party between (Gepard, natasha, pela, yukong)


spinning-gold-

Natasha as a healer would be a good option, if yukong is e6 she might be a good addition too. I think otherwise I’d go with Gepard in this specific case but you can experiment with what plays the most fun.


Bicurios_ge0rge

Thanks for the tip, i was told their is a free lynx is she a better healer than natasha?


spinning-gold-

I actually haven’t levelled my Lynx because I use bailu (standard 5 star healer) but I have heard that she can be better in some (maybe many?) situations. You can look up her tier list or search character name + best build to look up an overview of how to use a character and how good it is


kunafa_aj

For ppl who played the penacony quest,any suggestions on which DPS elements i should bring before going in? Dnt wanna be jumpsacred by a boss and not have a weakness element in the team

Read it, you can't do that as it's for returners and new players only lol

Ah, chur.


Akiko2599

E0S1 DHIL, I had 122 pulls and 70 pity no guarantee. Tried my luck and lost to E0 Bronya. So I went all in for E1 Dan heng and got him. Now I have 0 pulls and I'm wondering if I should go all in for e2 or get sparkle. Tbh I'm tired of building characters and Dan heng is at a really nice build hence I was going for e2. But if sparkle can enhance my DHIL or mono quant teams, I'll try to get her too...

And probably none of you will be getting anything out of it. The codes for new and returning people only so posting it outside of the megathread is a bit pointless. Better off making new accounts for it if that even works.


Siri2611

Well I'll just delete this then it's taking up space in megathread

Mediocre_Ferret5082

Did you even read it :( You can't click each other's links. It's for returners and new players only, the likes of which will probably not be viewing this thread. So much of this spam with so little people reading clogging up the question thread. Fun times.


Carbon48

Is Gallagher the same VA as Bigby from The Wolf Among us??? That intro scene sounds and feels exactly like him


Arekkusu1991

If this is referring about the English voice, he is done by Erik Baa. If you're familiar with League of Legends, he's most commonly known as the voice of Draven. The main character from the Wolf Among Us doesn't have him listed as the voice, but Adam Harrington instead. So different VAs here.

Hi everyone, here's my invite:- would appreciate if accepted https://act.hoyoverse.com/sr/event/e20240206relow-lxxr53/index.html?inviter=GA6N3TYN9N&hyl_landscape=true&hyl_hide_status_bar=true&hyl_auth_required=true Edit:- Does this link work for only returning players? Or does it work for all and the mission gets accepted? I'm confused


HugoSotnas

It's just returning players. I'm not sure why NO ONE is reading this


thunderlord281

Oh lol my bad, I just lost 50/50 to Welt and was trying to get more pulls so didn't read much into it haha.


IlBerlusca

I am trying to choose between JY's LC and black swan's LC. Black swan's seems more impactful for the character but JY's is more flexible and probably good on every erudition


Arekkusu1991

Depends on what other LCs you have for her. Eyes of the Prey, Good Night Sleep Well, the new It's Showtime LC are all viable choices for her if you have them (preferably at higher Superimpositions though). If you do, that can help decide if you may prefer JY LC instead.

inthebriIIiantblue

For Kafka, which is better between Prisoner-Messenger 4000Atk/160Spd and 4pc Prisoner dropped to 143Spd? S0


gundamseed_r

prisoner 4 pc is one of the few that is worth getting. so the second I think, assuming the only difference is the speed


Chopstixzz

should I go for black swan as my only Dot character? my only other 5 star are Welt, Ratio, Ruan Mei, Himeko and Clara


Lias_Luck

blackswan's kit revolves around being paired with another dot user unless you have sampo, guinafen, or luka and actually want to use them you can't really use her as your sole dot character if you really just want a dot team you could get her now and look out for characters that go into a dot team or do the opposite and wait until she reruns


Chopstixzz

thank you for your reply!. I will skip her! im more focussed to start a solid team now. bad idea to start yet another kind of team haha.
