2. ⚡ Jing Yuan: Not Recommended Unless You Love the Character
- ❌ Jing Yuan was powerful at the beginning of his release, but is now difficult to recommend due to his outdated kit and low damage.
- ❌ The breakthrough effects are not good either, so the value of additional investment is low.
- ⚠️ We are waiting for the Nova Flare buff, but there is a possibility that it will not be included in the next buff target.
02:59 - 04:47
3. 🐉 Dan Heng·Imbibitor Lunae: Powerful E2, but generally difficult to recommend
- ❌ Dan Heng·Imbibitor Lunae is also an outdated character and is less competitive in the current meta.
- ✅ With E2 breakthrough, fun play is possible, but it is a choice for fun rather than performance improvement.
- ⚠️ Sparkle's Nova Flare buff indirectly affects Dan Heng·Imbibitor Lunae, but the overall value is low.
04:50 - 05:54
4. ❄️ Jingliu: Still Usable, but Other Options Are Better
- ⚠️ Jingliu can still clear end-game content, but is not powerful enough to recommend.
- ❌ The breakthrough effect is also mediocre and does not significantly change the play style.
- ⚠️ Unless you choose it out of affection, it is better to choose another DPS character.
05:55 - 08:09
5. 💜 Acheron: Glory of the Past, Now Worth Investing In
- ✅ Acheron was very powerful at the time of release, but now, with the passage of time, it does not show the same power as before.
- ✅ It is more useful for clearing end-game content than other outdated DPS characters, and can be used in various content.
- ✅ Thanks to the Nova Flare buff of Signia and Silver Wolf, which were recently released, it is worth additional investment.
- ✅ In particular, E2 breakthrough increases Acheron's flexibility and can be a good choice.

6. 🛡️ Aventurine: Great, but Free Trailblazer is Better
- ⚠️ Aventurine provides stable sustain, but tends to be pushed back by the free Trailblazer.
- ⚠️ The Trailblazer provides more powerful shields and buffs than Aventurine.
- ⚠️ It is recommended to hold out with the free Trailblazer and 4-star characters until a new sustain character is released.
09:31 - 12:04
7. ✨ Sparkle: The Main Character of This Selection Event, Choose Her No Matter What!
- ⭐ Sparkle has been reborn as the strongest damage amplification character in the game through the Nova Flare buff.
- ⭐ Provides huge buffs such as 30% Weakness, 90~100% Crit DMG, 45% ATK, and 10% Penetration.
- ⭐ Provides various utilities such as action gauge increase and skill point generation.
- ⭐ The reliance on a dedicated Light Cone is low, so it is powerful enough even with a 4-star Light Cone.
- ⭐ Especially powerful in parties that consume a lot of skill points, such as Acheron and Sparkle.
- ⭐ E1 breakthrough is also a good choice and is more valuable than most characters.
12:05 - 13:50
8. 🖤 Kafka: The Best Choice If You Want a Dealer, But There Are Conditions
- ✅ Kafka is a key character in the Damage over Time (DOT) party and has consistently maintained good performance.
- ✅ In particular, the combination with Black Swan is very powerful, and this selection event is a good opportunity to build a DOT party.
- ⚠️ It is difficult to use in various parties like Sparkle.
- ✅ If you are willing to invest in DOT characters such as Guinaifen and Black Swan, choose Kafka.
- ✅ E1 breakthrough is also a good choice if you invest in a DOT party.
13:51 - 14:30
9. ⭐ Final Conclusion: Sparkle or Kafka, the Rest Are for Love!
- ✅ Sparkle is a versatile supporter, and Kafka is a DOT party dealer, so choose according to your account situation and preferred play style.
- ⚠️ It is better to choose the remaining characters out of affection.
- ✅ This selection event is a great opportunity to get Sparkle or Kafka.
