True, but if we get another break or fua focused character in the next few patches (not including jade) i’ll actually roll my eyes to the back of my skull.
@@dotalbo8279 We are 100% getting more break characters for awhile. We don't have that many options for break teams at all, so filling out the roster a bit for a new team type would be ideal. Probably at least 1 more 5 star for each role (DPS, Support, Sustain) before 3.0 is my guess. Which to be fair is like 6+ months but still.
I still can't belive that the mc is such an essential pice in this teams, and even if they release a better limited 5* of them, we still got a really good support that can do the job :D
My solution to Boothill's toughness problem. Run him with Acheron. You can laugh but his duel is a debuff and when those stacks are up and shields break thats 2 stacks for Our Lady. "Oh no Acheron is down a stack and my Boothill can't break this elite" get a stack from using the first part of boothill's skill, use acherons ult to lower the shield, do big dummy break numbers with Boothill. Now you got 2 units doing the big numbers. Twice the fun and the interaction is pretty nice.
From what I've heard, Robin's ATK buff doesn't work with Firefly because it scales off of Robin's own ATK. The game has a restriction in place for cases like this to prevent infinite loops of buffs. For example, if we had a character that boosts HP based on their own ATK and another that boosts ATK based on their own HP then they would would be on a loop of 1 buffing the other's ATK which would buff their HP, which would in turn buff the first's ATK also buffing their own HP and so on... For this reason, Firefly can only receive ATK boosts that are flat or that scale based off of Firefly's own ATK and not the buffer's.
Or just make restrictions. Those 2 can't stack. If she gets an ATK buff, it would buff her HP but that additional HP received can't buff her ATK. Idk if this makes sense, but a similar game has implemented this, League of Legends, try reading Vladimir's passive and you will understand what I mean.
@@vengefulspirit4262 That is why LoL is full of bugs... they didn't have universal way to make sure buffs won't stack on each other and they coded specifically for each individual case.
I'm not sure if I'd rather have quid pro quo or multiplication on gallagher, to be honest. I've seen that the sp are pretty tight with the comp, and letting gallagher have more turns sounds pretty enticing.
Reminder that Ruan Mei gives 10% speed not 10 speed. That means that for 165 you need 150 speed (not 155) because 10% of 150 is 15 and 15 +150 = 165. Similarly for 150 you need 137 speed. I mention this because 5 speed can really hurt to try to get. Like force you to farm for weeks to get a good enough equipment piece kind of hurt.
RM's buff is based on the character's base SPD. Firefly's base SPD is 104 iirc, and Ruan Mei's buff gives 10% so ( 104 + 10.4 ( 10% of 104 is 10.4 ) = 114 SPD

13:10 Just an information for someone who wants to do 5 turn firefly ult duration, she needs at the very least 280 spd. (or you can just use watchmaker and DDD on your asta on the third firefly turn to get that 1 extra turn)
Is this 280 a required permanent value? I tried in simulation uni. around 280-300% speed and never found 5-turn due to speed fluctuation while her skill active
My go to content creator for making an in-depth analysis of a character and presents it in a casual way. The dad joke has always been a nice touch too. Great guide, thanks! 😁
Robin's buff doesn't work because it is calculated from Robin's attack, and those ratio-from-another-source buffs do not work for any other conversions (like atk to break for Firefly). Same with Tingyun and one of the hunt blessings from SU (the one that gives atk based on previous active character)
Good thing i have ruan e0s1 that i got on her release tbh i was not expecting to pull on her and yet i pulled since her kit is kinda promising and yeah its worth
Do you think firefly himeko and HTB would work in PF? Firefly technique applies fire weakness every wave allowing for breaks from himeko as well to proc himekos fua, and firefly with HTB can kill bosses
Firefly best suppport be a free E6 is totally a win, is not like my other teams need the trailblazer anyaway, she don't need her light cone is also a W, and Ruan Mei be the only T5 is more f2p than most prime comps
Gonna be pulling for E1 instead of S1 probably. It might be less damage, but we are inevitably going to be getting a dedicated 5 star break sustain soon, and if they end up being SP hungry or even just SP neutral, E0 firefly might struggle. Gallagher does a lot of legwork in making E0 firefly work without much SP problems, and even then you have to dial back on the HMC skill usage. Plus if I decide to pull again on a rerun, E2 firefly is massively more damage than E1S1 firefly.
Asta can work very well with Firefly thanks to her atk buffs that become more break effect on Firefly, and the speed that comes with her ultimate, I'd recommend Dance Dance Dance as the LC for more turns in her enhanced state. Besides buffs, Asta can work very well with Firefly's fire implanted weakness since it can help Asta to keep up her buffs, and use her skill to break enemies.
After watching this vid.. I realized that my actual problem is, my harmony TB, He's not even worthy to be called "decently built". man I'm farming for my Caelus right away.
Great Content! I'd love to see some examples of firefly without the MoC/AS buffs so we can see what her damage would be like without the specific buffs inside the content that as you say is tailor made for her/Boothill this patch
I had been wondering why there was no Fiexiao video, hadn't realised he had stopped months ago. Was it announced somewhere he was dropping the game? view wise it looks like the videos where performing well so I'm kind of surprised.
It is weird that HMC is so incredibly necessary for Firefly, but it's not really a drawback in my opinion. It does mean that you can only have one superbreak team for now though. My money is on the next limited 5* harmony being "HMC that allows you to do superbreak against toughness locked enemies" lol. It's good to see even without Ruan Mei Firefly is still going toe to toe with some of our best DPSs, but with her and Gallagher she basically breaks the game (unless the enemies have toughness lock mechanics), and also isn't constrained to purely fire weak enemies. It's wild to me that a 4 star sustain can deal 100k basic attacks and a free harmony unit hits for double that with her skill. That's already a strong team before you even put Firefly in, who easily deals their damage put together and likely much more than that. 🔥
FF has 2 effects that reduce enemy's stamina bar. The first time is when she flies and slashes and the second time is when she explodes. If you set the speed to x1 you will detect this. And do you know why her damage is sometimes 2-300k and sometimes 5-600k? That's right, that was her explosion. Are you wondering what this means? This means: 1. If you want her damage to be superior, you must calculate it so that when it is her turn to destroy the enemy's stamina bar, her flying and slashing attacks must break the enemy's stamina bar first and the explosion will occur afterward. So she will have 2 times to deal super break damage (not like the video says the 2nd super break damage is from HMC, it is still HER super break damage. Only after the enemy has broken the bar has not been destroyed yet, HMC will grant her a super break effect so that she can cause a super break after breaking because she does not have it ). If you break the enemy's weakness bar with a second stamina-breaking attack (the slashing attack doesn't break the enemy's stamina bar, but the explosive attack does), she won't have superior damage. Take a look at all the 0 cycle videos you will discover this tips 2. This proves that leakers have indirectly prevented her from showing off her full strength + viewers only care about damage without consulting other details so she is not highly rated even though I believe She's probably a lot stronger than that
If anyone really doesn't understand, I'll briefly explain it like this: 1. She has 2 times to break the enemy's durability (1st time: flying and slashing & 2nd time: exploding). You want 5-6-700k damage? Calculate how the 1st break will break the stamina bar first and the 2nd attack with explosive effect will follow and this attack contains a super break. If you let the second attack break, you will only receive damage from only the super break. If you do it right, she will be incredibly strong 2. Leakers play incorrectly and players do not understand the mechanics. Making her not be appreciated for what she really is
Im here bc I didn't even expect to get her I just wanted one gallagher .. But I have her now and honestly her playstyle is so fun I cant wait to have her levelled properly 🥰
I'm not 100% sure but I think that imprisonment cancels RM weakness break delay (or other way around). If that's right, I don't think it would be worth
Honestly I don’t mind characters basically requiring the MC to be good. Players get them guaranteed. It’s kind of a buff to MC too lol. I don’t know how they’d do it, but I’d love to run destruction or preservation MC, but the premium options outshine them SO much.
Some people say Firefly would suck without Ruan Mei because she wouldn't weakness break fast enough. Jokes on them, I used Super Break Guinaifen for a bit (until I got Boothill). Jokes aside. Firefly's toughness reducing damage on enhanced skill (when taking her ult's break efficiency into account) deals 4.5 toughness units. For a quick comparison, Boothill's Enhanced Basic Attack is 5 toughness units with all 3 stacks. But Firefly also deals toughness reducing damage to adjacent enemies (2.25 units if they are weak to fire and 1.2 units if they don't have a fire weakness). Yes, Ruan Mei is definitely useful (like she is for Boothill), and I'd imagine that the res pen, speed and be buffs are all IMMENSELY powerful. But I don't think that means that she's bad without her, just that she's STRONGER with Ruan Mei. But that's just my opinion, you're completely free to disagree with me.
Asta’s atk boost is decent for the break effect convert, and also her breaking capabilities are great especially in single target, but the fire bonus dmg in her kit doest really affect firefly and the ult doesn’t really give that much especially if u have ruan mei and dance dance dance on harmony mc. just my take~ maybe Asta’s good in a 0 cycle run.
My dumb ass not knowing i didn't need speed rolls because i have ruan mei...now i need to look through my relics to see if i can get some more attack rolls 🤔
For what I've seen the reason why Robin's atk buff doesn't work for Firefly's self buff is that Robin's atk buff scales of Robin's own atk whereas other sources of atk buff such as Asta's scales of the allies atk I think that's what it was.
technically, it means I could just leave all her skill levels at 1 and only level her up for major traces since she deals SBreak damage ? For a new account that's insane
When you mention that the game may have enemies that have gimmicks that prevent toughness damage until you meet certain conditions (ie: Gerard's shield or that stupid dinosaur) that's kind of a detriment to all dps characters not just Break ones. Acheron is pretty ineffective against that dinosaur if you want to brute force it or don't have the means to break it asap.
18:25 Robin's ultimate flat attack buff doesnt effect Firefly's because of wording, since Robin's ultimate scales on her attack and NOT SAM's attack. (I think, but i dont know though maybe its just because its flat attack maybe thats why)
1st friend got firefly 2nd friend got E0S1 firefly and a gepard (lost trying to get her eidolon) 3rd friend got E1S1 firefly and Ruan Mei And then there's me who got a bronya and nothing else sitting beside them all (Me, 2nd, and 3rd got roughly the same pulls around 100-130 pulls, we all saved that up, we're all f2p)
i got her and her lightcone with less than 70 pulls this the first time i have gotten this lucky so i am saying this to everyone i dont have anything left for ruan mei though
Robin’s attack buff not effecting firefly’s breakeffect is a huge letdown. I hope they fix this, we need some flexibility in team comps and robin is the closest we get to a RM alternative.
@@djampoucheukap1742 E0S0 already made 0 cycle, in other Moc i'm sure she will do 3 or 4 cycles easyly . That happend with Acheron, was more easy made low cycles in her banner, and now you can do 3 cycles or 2. And i'm speaking for myself with my Acheron E0S1.
So basically ... Boothill escaped with his life from HMC, they slapped him on Firefly ... Its not a good idea when a character cannot do damage on his own. This limits her teams to Firefly, HMC, Gallegher and Ruan Mei. Any change in this team is not allowed.
Quick Note : Farming her artifacts today .... got 4 double crit dmg crit rate artifacts, non of them had break effect sub stats ... then watching you have 30% break effect on one artifact !!!!>_
Unpopular Opinion I'd say if you're e1 Firefly and you are confident you wont die. You replace Galagher with Silver Wolf and be agrresive with her skill and ultimate to break enemy, you get element shred and defense down with her which probably slightly stronger than Galagher's debuffs (?).
Asta with DDD is 75% robin ult which is good, also the atk buff she gives is useful since it scales the BE, but you can also use planetary rendevous and just take atleast 3 substat roll in spd

If you let the second attack break, you will only receive damage from only the super break. If you do it right, she will be incredibly strong
2. Leakers play incorrectly and players do not understand the mechanics. Making her not be appreciated for what she really is
First. Waited too long for your guide😢 ty for your calculations goat
Firefly (with hmc) can do acheron ult damage with just her skill, which is insane
BEHOLD the roll on those relic set gonna be top tier CV roll LULW
Im here bc I didn't even expect to get her I just wanted one gallagher ..
But I have her now and honestly her playstyle is so fun I cant wait to have her levelled properly 🥰
22:28 can't you use *Welt* as another f2p alternative just for prolonging the weekness break 😊
I'm not 100% sure but I think that imprisonment cancels RM weakness break delay (or other way around). If that's right, I don't think it would be worth
@@Vem711what he meant was that Ruan Mei is swapped with Welt on her team
Honestly I don’t mind characters basically requiring the MC to be good. Players get them guaranteed.
It’s kind of a buff to MC too lol.
I don’t know how they’d do it, but I’d love to run destruction or preservation MC, but the premium options outshine them SO much.
Using those CES perks and getting them guides out before anyone else 👍👍👍
Is the phenomenon of so many thumbnails having the similar all-caps, white letters, black/yellow background an example of convergent evolution? lol
Some people say Firefly would suck without Ruan Mei because she wouldn't weakness break fast enough. Jokes on them, I used Super Break Guinaifen for a bit (until I got Boothill).
Jokes aside. Firefly's toughness reducing damage on enhanced skill (when taking her ult's break efficiency into account) deals 4.5 toughness units. For a quick comparison, Boothill's Enhanced Basic Attack is 5 toughness units with all 3 stacks. But Firefly also deals toughness reducing damage to adjacent enemies (2.25 units if they are weak to fire and 1.2 units if they don't have a fire weakness). Yes, Ruan Mei is definitely useful (like she is for Boothill), and I'd imagine that the res pen, speed and be buffs are all IMMENSELY powerful. But I don't think that means that she's bad without her, just that she's STRONGER with Ruan Mei. But that's just my opinion, you're completely free to disagree with me.
How is Asta in this team instead of guinaifen?
Asta’s atk boost is decent for the break effect convert, and also her breaking capabilities are great especially in single target, but the fire bonus dmg in her kit doest really affect firefly and the ult doesn’t really give that much especially if u have ruan mei and dance dance dance on harmony mc. just my take~ maybe Asta’s good in a 0 cycle run.
I've got 20 pulls and a dream let's fucking goooooooo
I LOVE FIREFLY 💯💯💯💯
You can actually consider that Firefly+Harmony MC is one unit and you're only allowed to have 2 other party members with them.
It's interesting to know that e0s1 falls so quickly outside their banner MoC in terms of 0-cycle... 👍🏼
My dumb ass not knowing i didn't need speed rolls because i have ruan mei...now i need to look through my relics to see if i can get some more attack rolls 🤔
For what I've seen the reason why Robin's atk buff doesn't work for Firefly's self buff is that Robin's atk buff scales of Robin's own atk whereas other sources of atk buff such as Asta's scales of the allies atk I think that's what it was.
technically, it means I could just leave all her skill levels at 1 and only level her up for major traces since she deals SBreak damage ? For a new account that's insane
Nah, because her dmg scaling for skills/amount of spd generated by ult.
You atleast want to upgrade skill and ult.
@@Kspice9000 damn, oh at least she's still not expensive to build but I'll remember to get those up
People wine because Firefly's Super Break depends on Harmony MC that is totally FREE and you can ascend to E6 easily.
I noticed you didn't mention Asta as a support option, is that because she isn't great for Firefly or you didn't test it out?
She's good for firefly, she provides spd and atk which firefly likes. Also her break is also good, maybe more good than gui
He probably didn't test it, Asta is her best f2p support if you don't have ruan mei
@@Yaoyue春 Exactly what I was thinking!
her having HP lowest amount of HP because she's sick and highest DEF because she's in armor suit. That's pretty neat
Nice can't wait for her
When you mention that the game may have enemies that have gimmicks that prevent toughness damage until you meet certain conditions (ie: Gerard's shield or that stupid dinosaur) that's kind of a detriment to all dps characters not just Break ones. Acheron is pretty ineffective against that dinosaur if you want to brute force it or don't have the means to break it asap.
Firefly is one of the best waifus in all of gaming and she can carry us with her suit. HMC x Firefly is OTP just like the story.
When will be able to see a jade guide/ build video? I assume there is a date that u need to wait to post
18:25 Robin's ultimate flat attack buff doesnt effect Firefly's because of wording, since Robin's ultimate scales on her attack and NOT SAM's attack. (I think, but i dont know though maybe its just because its flat attack maybe thats why)
Seeing cocolia and gepard in one lane scares me man, can you imagine kafka and argenti or heck even aventurine in one lane
It would be insane
"I SHALL Set The Sea's A BLAZE!!"
9:54 well Firefly herself say her best partner is Trailblazer ( in live 2.3)
And yes this canon
First artifacts on her set was a atk% body woth 5.2 cr and 25cd im gonna cry
1st friend got firefly
2nd friend got E0S1 firefly and a gepard (lost trying to get her eidolon)
3rd friend got E1S1 firefly and Ruan Mei
And then there's me who got a bronya and nothing else sitting beside them all
(Me, 2nd, and 3rd got roughly the same pulls around 100-130 pulls, we all saved that up, we're all f2p)
Quick question:
Does the Penacony planar set work for Gallagher with Firefly?
i got her and her lightcone with less than 70 pulls this the first time i have gotten this lucky so i am saying this to everyone i dont have anything left for ruan mei though
Hoyo needs to release another super break support character asap. My Boothill and Firefly are starting to fight again
Wait you can unlock eidolons in simulated universe temporarily? I didn’t know that if that’s true. Cool. Casual player .
Yes, look for the curio that appears as a crystal wedge of cheese, lol. Increases all eidolon levels by 1.
Robin’s attack buff not effecting firefly’s breakeffect is a huge letdown. I hope they fix this, we need some flexibility in team comps and robin is the closest we get to a RM alternative.
IWTL saying break characters are matchup dependant but not mentioning clara vs that stupid DOT robot thing and trotters
Daymn, that firefly hits harder than my acheron E0S1 ult
I will say Firefly E0S0 hit harder than Acheron E0S0 , with best teams options for each one.
And using 1 sustain.
@@XiasGaming no man it's false and especially with that cheated moc buff who heavily favors FF
@@djampoucheukap1742 E0S0 already made 0 cycle, in other Moc i'm sure she will do 3 or 4 cycles easyly .
That happend with Acheron, was more easy made low cycles in her banner, and now you can do 3 cycles or 2. And i'm speaking for myself with my Acheron E0S1.
any thoughts on asta or tingyun for ruan mei/guin spot? since they give atk and spd, also for tingyun's energy
Asta is a good option, but she doesnt need ty since basically she only need to atk twice to regain the state.
So basically ... Boothill escaped with his life from HMC, they slapped him on Firefly ... Its not a good idea when a character cannot do damage on his own. This limits her teams to Firefly, HMC, Gallegher and Ruan Mei. Any change in this team is not allowed.
Quick Note : Farming her artifacts today .... got 4 double crit dmg crit rate artifacts, non of them had break effect sub stats ... then watching you have 30% break effect on one artifact !!!!>_
E0S0 Firefly > E2S1 Acheron and Dhil
Unpopular Opinion
I'd say if you're e1 Firefly and you are confident you wont die. You replace Galagher with Silver Wolf and be agrresive with her skill and ultimate to break enemy, you get element shred and defense down with her which probably slightly stronger than Galagher's debuffs (?).
We will bring firefly home 🔥
About breakpoints. If we are using her with asta no ruan mei how much base speed you need to go 5 times
Asta with DDD is 75% robin ult which is good, also the atk buff she gives is useful since it scales the BE, but you can also use planetary rendevous and just take atleast 3 substat roll in spd
5 turns in 1 ult needs 280 SPD, which is not possible unless you are using some DDD magic
@@karashuun1083 good to know
Commencing scorching earth operation.....for her majesty
Asta is a decent option as well, she provides atk and spd which firefly likes
There isn't a teamslot for Asta
@@zaheenwaseet2041 there is, she's alternative for RM
Playing break without RMei is... Get help
@@zaheenwaseet2041 she deals decent 300k without RM stop the drama.
