    I think you forget to go over the concept of combat atk. Brimstone and Starlight engine provide combat atk, which is multiplicative to your total atk on the stat page before battle. That is why they are incredibly strong, with brimstone on par with zhu sig wpn for her.
    Also regarding fusion compiler, I am not sure how Jane Doe gonna keep up the 3 stacks for AP, especially when the stack duration is calculated separately. She does not seem like the one that spams special like Grace. Pen ratio is also not that great until you get a lot of it.

      Factoring in the lost currency by not pulling and then spending again you lose say 40 pulls in total, but that's 40 pulls for a S w-engine of your choice! You don't build pity but its essentially pulling on the w-engine banner and then 'losing' the 75/25 to the w-engine you wanted from the standard pool. It's a solid deal. I main dps Koleda so I'll be definitely buying her w-engine for the visuals and then Lycaon's for the damage.

      Genshin's case isn't even the same, lol. You can't get Royal and Blackcliff weapons from any banners, and you can't purchase any 5 star weapon. Idk why you're so keen on comparing Genshin of all games to ZZZ. Why not compare a game that ACTUALLY has a similar store? Aka, HSR. In the case of Star Rail, there are actually good weapons (Light Cones) you can obtain from the shop, namely Bronya's LC and Sleep Like The Dead. For ZZZ, some weapons are actually extremely competitive to even signatures, and you can guarantee it for less pulls. Each player has their own reasons to purchase W Engines, and it's not a no-brainer decision like what you're saying. @@GerriFuryman

      Grace: Great. Around a 10~20% increase over A-ranks without downsides and scales well with more PEN%. Although the battle pass one is slightly better at s5, that requires $50 and five months. Her signature pulls ahead again with any copies too. Decent for other characters.
      Koleda: Decent. You trade some daze for energy, the extra EX specials make up for the lost daze uptime. Marginally better than A-ranks at s0. Good for other characters.
      Lycaon: Bad. It has a ramp-up daze and no utility. The idea isn't terrible, but A-ranks are almost equal in every regard. It's still Lycaon's bis, he can stack it almost immediately and the numbers are high enough. Bad for other characters.
      Nekomata: Great. Unsurprisingly, it meshes seamlessly with her gameplay. Better than any A rank by a good number. Decent for other physical attackers.
      Soldier 11: Great. Same as above. Basically, an improved version of A rank options without their downsides. No crit rate or additional effects hurt it a bit. Universally strong for any attacker.
      Rina: Good~Great. It's really hard to evaluate. There are very few alternatives for support and all feel pretty restrictive. While Rina suffers the least from this, I expect something like Nekomata's signature; a seamless upgrade without downside. A support without their signature feels awful. Only Rina and Lucy can use this consistently.

    I think we should mention how Honkai Star Rail Standard Lightcone shop was so tempting initially too especially since Genshin never had those. However after sometime, most of those lightcones are bad and most of the time never best in slot. Most 4 stars and even some 3 stars have more usage than the standard Lightcones. Never really worth the 30 pulls, but fine if you get them at the standard free wishes.

  • @chinnithy7156

    I think out of all of them the only one that’s really worth buying is the Brimstone. Some calc has shown that it is straight up comparable to Zhuyuan’s signature weapon’s dmg, of course with caveat where you have to build up stacks. Also being that it gives attack so in the future, in this game where you’re encouraged to have different elemental DPS, as long they scale with atk you can just use this.
    As for your thought on Fusion core, you’ve said that Pen ratio is universal, while I don’t disagree but why not ATK% substat instead since that’s the stat that is used for both anomaly and crit dps like you’ve also said? Atk would straight up benefits your DPS right away and same with HSR where for pen ratio to really outshine is when you stack enough.
    As for weeping cradle, Rina’s sig, I think it’s funny that Lucy can proc the passive and maintain full stack quite easily since her boar is pretty much on field all the time. imo support’s buff in this game is just too darn short. Outside of Soukaku at 22s and Lucy’s 10s. The rest are 3s without cinemas.

      The one exception is Rina, who can give some of her pen ratio to the on-field character due to her core passive.

After getting that (soon!) I'll spend all future signals on pulls. Only exception might be if Nicole shows up in the shop and I have enough to get her (M5 right now, and it bugs me). She could also show up in any given 10 pull which is always the risk with buying mindscapes.
