Apologies for the random glitches in the video. Will have that fixed in the next one, but again both Astra and Evelyn are great units so pull for who you want! These are just my thoughts and what Im potentially pulling once the patch gets here!
Astra Pros: 1.Very 1st "Agent" Healer (Avacooboo has a friend now?) 2.Element Rarity: Ether is the rarest element in the game only 2 released since Launch. 3. Longevity: Astra's a SUPPORT in 85% of gachas Supports & Utility units = power creep immunity
I actually think her heals will be her undoing when later on we'll get 5 star supports without any heals but with stronger buffs people will throw her in the trash.
I’m getting both! Need all that chain attack and quick assist play style! Also I have no fire team dps so I’m suffering a bit but I’ve been using Koleda/Lucy/Myiabi to get okay clears.
So far I have 131 pulls saved plus 46 pity (177 effective pulls). With the additional polychromes from 1.5 I’m almost guaranteed to get both. Getting their signatures will depend on how lucky my pulls go
First patch where I’m not skipping on either of the new characters! I personally like Astra more, but Evelyn will slot in nicely as my primary fire DPS.
Good supports last years. Good dps typically last less than a year in most gacha meta. Good supports can make mediocre DPS amazing. Pulling for her is like upgrading all of your existing damage dealers. And making them last longer. As much as I love Evelyn's design, I just can't pull for her over an excellent support.
What makes astra yao a fun unit is no because of her healing but her quick assist feature (based on official footage) which makes the quickswap meta more fun. Evelynn's free chain attack trigger makes her fun to play as well. Although I wished the future units can do 100% attribute dmg.
Im trying to get both. I think if I can save up 160-180 pulls (guaranteed character) before the patch starts then I can probably get both. I’d have to be really unlucky to lose 3 5050s late in a row. I lost Miyabi 5050 and it took 170 pulls total to get her. I currently have 141 pulls. If I win astras 5050 or lose/win early then that will be a relief.
To me to if I decide to pull I will pull for Evelyn, I don't find astra is worth it since I have M6 Nicole plus Nicole can group enemies and reduce their Defense. but I may skip whole 1.5 banners and wait for virtual idols or another void hunter specially that mercenary leader with pink hair.
Yeah Nicole is definitely still good to use if you don’t want to get Astra. I never got Caesar personally so Astra’s a great grab for me to help me through things like Tower and stuff
Not quite sure who to choose between Evelyn and Astra. I like Astra but Evelyn is way too cool man. But I already have Soldier 11 and I'm missing a support like Caesar or Astra so I might go for Astra this coming patch.
I love Astra, and I don't like Nicole's playstyle. Evelyn looks & plays cool, but I'm saving for Hugo and Jane mindscapes. I'm not super convinced about Eve. Plus, I kinda want to know more about Soldier 11 first before I powercreep her lmao. I have her built and been playing her with Lighter.
Astra's an obvious pick for me because she'll fit Miyabi teams, Zhu Yuan teams, & Harumasa teams. No matter if ZZZ releases 2 other more broken Supports, Astra will still have a place.
i mean Astra Yao has it all, she can buff and increase team damage and she can also heal, if you pair her with Caesar and Jane the team would be an unkillable comp that can also dish massive damage.
Miyabi and Rhena are my goats. I don’t have another S tier anamoly character that isn’t Grace, and Lyacon is my best stun unit, so I need these characters BADLY
Might just get Qingyi's m1 for phase 2. My S11 is m2 rn and she's doing just fine. I run her w starlight engine which might work well w Astra on team plus with Caesar i dont think she's gonna suffer much lol. I might try my luck on Evelyn if I get an Early but base on my recent luck(this banner) i dont think id get one(tried hitting m2 Miyabi lost both 5050 💀)
Lighter took everything and all he left was Neko's M1. Miya was an easy skip so I've saved up 16K Poly and like 20something records. Now it's down to whether I chance the early guarantee on Astra or just wait for Eve. I'm thinking just wait for Eve. But if you've got no real preference, Astra's just better in general since she's a Support.
But you could get both, it's literally impossible to skip Eve for Astra, Astra's banner comes first. If anything you'd be skipping Eve for whatever comes next. I'mma try to get them both.
Im gonna get both of them 1 i need a healer on tower im already at floor 50 its torture 2 i need evelyn cause soldier 11 fire timing combo is very frustrating to time it
Its only 1.4, I'd rather wait for her rerun to see how she holds up. I dont really "need" a support. However, I need a fire DPS. Also, Evelyn jiggle is unmatched
She was introduced in 1.1. In the first rerun, we'll have Ellen (1.0) and Qingyi (1.1). My hope is that she'll have her rerun in 1.6, maybe with Zhu Yuan, who was introduced in 1.0. But we don't know it yet. Let's hope. I'm also waiting for her. ✋️
Jane was a smart skip as well. These are dps units with easy replacements. Im still pulling Evelyn just because she's cooler but that's on my heart not my brain
Man, this video is so upsetting because it’s got me hyped for a character I know I don’t have the chromes to pull. You said your comparisons were out of left field, but even as an outsider to those genres, I think all of the references really land and build up hype in a fun way. I’m just gonna cope by saying that her jacket’s my favorite part of her model in her animations, so her install removing that, plus my love of Solider 11, means that I don’t need her. But the potential this character has for amazing dynamic skins is something else
@@Kidblaze86 1 jane, and 4 caesars. Evelyn, astra, zhu, ellen, quinji, burnice, the idols, hugo, I dont care about any of em, all will be skipped cause they provide me little value
@@OCEAN-fc9wl Cope is a mechanism used by those who cannot afford to pull…. I don’t think that’s the issue here, but I do need to get Harumasa Engine though 😆
I really dont need anyone else right now... Astra might be a good pick but then again, I already have Nicole, Lucy, Soukkaku and Ceasar for support... Evelyn's a cool ass fire dps, but I already have Zhu Yuan, Miyabi and Ellen...
I always laugh at people making videos about what characters should be skipped. You know damn well these people will not be skipping. As far as Sol is concerned you got soldier11 tattooed on your soul so you ain't fooling me with this video 😂😂😂
Team build with Astra seem to make you to play around with quick assist. I doubt that will give full benefit to the team that focus on only 1 DPS. To be straight to the point, will she make a good team with our S11? S11/-?-/astra, beside Lighter in that slot, who else do you think will fit in for the full benefit?
Since we don’t have any of Soldier’s faction characters yet you basically want any fire character in that slot. Lighter is probably bis but if you don’t have Lighter or want to try someone else you might actually try Ben, maybe on an impact build, since he can do a reasonable impression of a stunner. Trying double support with Lucy might also be interesting as between Lucy and Astra you could be doing some crazy buffing. Burnice’s additional ability wouldn’t be active but if you have her well-built she should still be pretty good and she’s so powerful she might actually be the next best option after Lighter, not sure.
I recently got M6 Miyabi within 2 weeks of grinding polys from a new account(insane luck ik). I could've stopped at M5 but still went for it. Was it dumb for me not to save for Astra Yao? or was M6 worth it? Also bro did you just quote gurren lagann????
Idk that's for you to judge xD I don't think a lot of people M6 her on her first banner run. Wait 1-2 years LOL. But you don't need to M6 for content right now. It's not needed. So objectively, nope
I have to say I disagree with the not power creeping ceasr part. Shes a healer with a biger atk buff that is teamwide and she enables chain attacks which I think are the best decible generators in a charters kit. She does everything ceasar does as good or better and has more. cesar is a dead character now and I struggle to see how any shielder will be relevant in a 3 person team now that a healer is in the game. I wish she had the same kit but with no healing butthats just me.
I mean for starters her healing is in her ulti. Caesar shield is on her EX skill. A shield is preventive while a heal is restorative wich doesnt help for shit if an agent is already down for some reason. Caesar has also an enemy debuff and a pull. On top of being a pseudo stunner Did i forget something? Oh yes, Caesars shield prevents knock backs.
She doesn’t power creep Caesar because their support capabilities cover different things. They provide similar buffs but Caesar Shield lasts an entire encounter while Astra heals are only from her ult. Can’t even really call Astra a healer since it’s not consistent healing is something that honestly is going to happen maybe one time during an encounter. Caesar also allows different team compositions the Astra can’t cover due to their Additional Abilities so Caesar isn’t going anywhere. She will still be a top 2 Support unit in the game.
I really wanted to skip her and just get Evelyn due to still having many agents to build lol but seems like I may have to make a big boy purchase for this patch 😂🥲
Apologies for the random glitches in the video. Will have that fixed in the next one, but again both Astra and Evelyn are great units so pull for who you want! These are just my thoughts and what Im potentially pulling once the patch gets here!

Aye if you can get both, do it!
50/50 can't stop me from getting both. I don't have any interest at the possible future characters coming right after, so I'm going all in this patch!

I thought I was alone in this boat. It's a relief to see another soul
Same here
Lmao SAME WTF😂

@@rickybobby5153
I say 6 months. We probably get a fire void hunter next summer.
Im gonna wait for the update, love the videos ❤
Understandable🫡Going to try and cover both characters on the channel anyway
nice pfp you there tora
@LONE_W0LF24 you too wolf☺️
the problem is i can only fit 3 units in my team, and when i have lighter Caesar qingyi There is no point in having more supports
Not quite sure who to choose between Evelyn and Astra. I like Astra but Evelyn is way too cool man. But I already have Soldier 11 and I'm missing a support like Caesar or Astra so I might go for Astra this coming patch.
i will try for both my polychromes are pretty low at the moment
9:18 Holy shit I was thinking about Annie from AOT and out of nowhere for a completely different reason you talk about the anime...
😂wow that’s actually crazy. I didn’t think anyways mind would think like that too
I’ll get astra in her next re run imma get Evelyn cuz my fire team rn ain’t that good
Kazuha and Ruan Mei was not the first limited support in Genshin and HSR..It was Venti and Silver wolf and MY GOD, THE FALLEN HARD!!!!!
Venti is still the best at what he does, its just that what he does isn't useful anymore.
Aww you’re right. That’s on me and yeah I’ve heard their rein was short lived lol
Saved a lot to get them both. Unless I unluck really hard its basically guaranteed.
Good luck on the pulls🫡
Pulling for both because cool characters are cool ! Got Astra with only one multi, i'm so good for Eve !
my heart and mind says astra yao, but my head says evelyn.
What is your body saying tho?
@SolessSolXS its "hard" man.
I mean who don't want ether Burnice?
I love Astra, and I don't like Nicole's playstyle. Evelyn looks & plays cool, but I'm saving for Hugo and Jane mindscapes. I'm not super convinced about Eve. Plus, I kinda want to know more about Soldier 11 first before I powercreep her lmao. I have her built and been playing her with Lighter.
M2 miyabi with astra is gonna be nuts, infinite frost stacks because quick assist immediately goes near ba5

Pretty based for playing eltnam's theme from under night while discussing about Evelyn. Much respect
Had to do it for the culture

But if you've got no real preference, Astra's just better in general since she's a Support.
So astra is a very good universal support. But with her quick assists i think she may even perform better in dual dps teams right? I may be wrong
Yep Dual DPS meta on the way it seems🔥
If astra is actually:
Support
Good heals
Good damage buffs
Quick assist applier
She will be used over nicole in every team which is 90% of the roster
But you could get both, it's literally impossible to skip Eve for Astra, Astra's banner comes first. If anything you'd be skipping Eve for whatever comes next. I'mma try to get them both.
I just got miyabis w-engine twice, what should I do with the 2nd one?
Give it to any dps who needs more crit
Give it to another DPS that could use it or just save it for one in the future
Getting both but I saved up after getting Miyabi and her weapon early pity
Skipping both. Waiting for bride and virtual idols.
They definitely should be on the way soon
Im gonna get both of them
1 i need a healer on tower im already at floor 50 its torture
2 i need evelyn cause soldier 11 fire timing combo is very frustrating to time it
Both,both,both,both. I NEED THEM, MY TEAMS ARE TRASH!
If you can get them, do it🫡
I have two copies of Rina’s W-Engine. Do you think it will have good value with Astra, or should I pull for her signature?
It possibly could. Would need to test it
My opinion for skipping Evelyn will depend on the next banners for 1.6
Its only 1.4, I'd rather wait for her rerun to see how she holds up. I dont really "need" a support. However, I need a fire DPS. Also, Evelyn jiggle is unmatched
same
Always gets what’s best for your account🫡
If shes a constant rerun character then people are gonna get real strong real fast (c6 if it goes live gives 80% crit when she's in cadenza mode)
im also pulling her cause she looks like she sings the p5 soundtrack LMAO
i only have 10k poly saved up, i really hope i can get both but its unlikely
Same, I'm unfortunetly skipping Evelyn. Getting Astra mostly cause of future imvestment.
Why is Jane not available?

@ thank you for the clarification. Cause I’ve noticed all of the other S-Ranked agents are available to roll for so it was confusing.
i though it was ellen and zhu yuan were coming back not stunner gurl idk her name
I think they switch Zhu Yuan because they didn’t want to have 3 DPS for one patch
But bro Evelyn is so good she is almost like Jane bro I don't under stand
She is. It’s a hard decision man😭If I had the money to spend I would. If they pls me with Astra early tho👀
