Absolutely! 86 is such a masterpiece. It honestly deserves more recognition then it already has. So any reference or stuff like this makes me really happy.
@@michaelpowers6551 I think it was great all the way through, there was maybe a bit of a dip during the Christmas (?) episodes. Doesn't matter much since the season ending is one of the most satisfying moments in any anime I've seen.
I got firefly first 10 pull and then ruan mei 20 pulls later plus firefly light cone 50 pull later now saving for ruanmei lightcone f2p luck is real I been saving for 3 patches
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate all of your content, and I’m super glad that you showed up in my recommendations back when I was first looking for Star Rail content. Your guides have consistently been some of the most informative, concise, realistic and just plain funny that I’ve seen. Firefly in particular is probably the character that I am going to put the most effort into building, so I’m glad to have this guide to help me.
*NOBODY IS GONNA READ THIS BUT IN CASE YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE COMMENTS:* - I HAD PUT ASTA AS A TOP F2P PICK IF YOU DONT HAVE RUAN MEI - EASY CHARGES DUE TO FIRE WEAKNESS IMPLANT, ATK (THUS BREAK) AND SPD BUFF, PLUS SHE BREAKS FIRE A TON IT WAS ACCIDENTALLY CUT IN EDITING I DID NOT FORGET I WAS FRAMED TO LOOK LIKE BRAXOFRAUD BUT I AM ACTUALLY BRAXOPHONE
@@Robin_hsr12 I have read somewhere that atk buff from Robin don't work and FF doesn't get more BE from it, but i don't remember why. (I think that's why no one talks about Robin in guides...)
@@mediumsurmoon6283 Yes. The reason Robin's doesn't work is because Robin doesn't buff attack. She buffs the damage you do directly proportional to her own attack.
Finally i’ve found the unit that I actually want to main. Her fire weakness implant and ability to remove toughness bar of adjacent targets regardless of element allows her to be used against ANY enemy in the future
I've been playing for a year but Firefly is the first character I'm trying to fully build by myself. Thank you so much for the video, it's very informative and easy to understand :] (usually I ask a friend to build a chara for me, but this'll be the first I try doing everything by myself lol)
"your bronya is not going to be able to go 210 speed while your firefly goes 211. Thats just not going to happen, right?" Mr. Pokke probably: nah i'd win
Firefly go BRRRRRRR! Also it's just mean to run her with Ruan Mei. Don't forget the emanator bug she made... "Oopsie, just reviving the Swarm over here, no big deal, look at my cute cats!"
I like it how all of her first 5 eidlons do not increase her damage at all, rather give her more chances to do the damage, because her damage is already insane
I love 86, one of the most underrated mecha animes. I hope for a continuation into the light novel series. Won 50/50 on Firefly and got Ruan Mei LC in 20 pulls!

Well, this guide was very helpful!😍 Also, I've tried firefly with hanya which makes a GREAT HARMONY SUPPORT, Hanya can give a huge atk bonus, and flat spd (28 at lvl6), making it easier to scale up her spd, and atk as well... Resulting in more break effect reliability. Although yes, some of her dmg buffs don't give break dmg bonus, she still has the best output as compared to other chars(except bronya and ruan mei... They are in different leagues💀). Other suggestion i can give after me experimenting alot is that using fire dmg is not recommended as its utility declines because firefly scales on super break dmg mainly and she cannot get more dmg with fire dmg bonus sphere. It's a placeholder for those who've yet to get an atk sphere. I hope this may help someone!
Something I was curious about, the speed you recommended for Firefly was 150. However (if you have Ruan Mei) Ruan Mei’s talent increases everyone’s speed by up to 10%. So I was wondering, was the 150 speed recommendation put up there with or without Ruan Mei’s talent?
Asking the same question myself. Given she adds herself 60 SPD or 66 SPD at E5, you just need to have 150 SPD total prior transformation, so if you wear forge planar set and a SPD boot you would have enough SPD to reach the breakpoint if Ruan is in the party. I kinda wanna go crazy and go full BE!
got her in 20 pulls (65 pity), and her LC in just 10 pulls (30 pity). Already had Ruan Mei, but I really wanted to give the LC she was holding to trailblazer so pulled for her LC. got that in 20 pulls (20 pity). Hoyo has been super generous today.
6:20 I don't know if it's been tested already, but this set could also be the best set for break dps characters in general even if they aren't fire characters- since it only specifies fire weakness and not fire damage So hypothetically any break based DPS could benefit from this set- as long as the enemy you're facing already has fire weakness and a weakness to the element said character has
Putting Firefly and Ruan Mei at the same time as a welkin / occasionally BP player i was thinking there was no way I was gonna be able to get both + weapons. I somehow managed and got extremely lucky with my pulls, so now im rockin the firefly/ruan mei combo. Good thing this team uses two 4 stars so its lower investment than some other teams. Though I'm getting WRECKED in the relic farming atm lol.
This is Firefly support group for those who lost 50/50. I’ll share mine first: 90 pulls saved just to have Himeko at pity 85. Now I’m at pity 50 and still no Firefly in sight. This is absolutely the first time I’m this unlucky
The one problem with having both SAM and Boothill is now, which supports to use on both teams? cuz both gets better with Ruan mei, but we do need 2 teams.
Got my guaranteed Firefly (77 pity), and Im halfway through getting another 5 star. Hoping that I get her E1, but even at E0, she performs INCREDIBLY well. I managed to get full stars in MoC and Apocalyptic Shadow easily on autobattle. Absolutely worth pulling her!
I played with a friend's level 80 Firefly and was left flabbergasted shocked bewildered and broken 💀💀 Her special kills bro, being able to play again after killing an enemy is fr crazy
I appreciate you mention the Eula treatment when it comes to dps since apparently the only things that matter is big pp damage and not how hard to go there.
if you dont have a Ruin Me you could use substitute such as Asta for her speed buff and her being a fire character helps for faster breaks since FF applies fire weakness on enemies
Braxophone: MC and Firefly are basically married at this point Me: Dude...there is an achivement called "Seeing Summer" that literally says 'Win a battle with Firefly and MC'. Thats it. Thats all you need to do. You get an achivement just for having them together. The Fanbase: LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Most likely this choice is obvious but during the banners I was able to pull Sunday, Fugue, and Firefly and her lightcone. I am currently build a team of Firefly, Fugue, and Lingsha. For the 4th slot, since I already have Fugue for Super Break, would Sunday (without his signature light cone, I have Robins signature lightcone but not sure how well it would match with Sunday) be a viable choice instead of Harmony MC? I try to just play for fun with characters I like like all of the above ones but still be able to clear content.
6:51 Now, I'm gonna play it straight here: I spent way too many relic shards on the body part because I was getting upset farming it: half in part because that shit was just *not dropping,* but also becuase I genuinely thought that it could roll Break Effect. I was thinking of Effect Hit. In other words, I did the same thing with the Sphere but for Fire Damage (which is not as good because FF should just have MOAR ATK)
In a firefly team, should Ruan Mei use Vonwacq/Penacony for the planar ornament? I keep seeing conflicting advice. Some people say the energy is necessary and the most important thing for her relics, and some people say it's not needed and running Talia or any other set that doesn't have 5% energy. I'm going to use a self modeling resin for an ERR rope, so I wanna know which set to use to not waste it.
If you have s3+ memories of the past you can 3 turn ult anyways so no need for the 5% err. If this is the case I would recommend broken keel or the new speed set.

The Fanbase: LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Most likely this choice is obvious but during the banners I was able to pull Sunday, Fugue, and Firefly and her lightcone. I am currently build a team of Firefly, Fugue, and Lingsha. For the 4th slot, since I already have Fugue for Super Break, would Sunday (without his signature light cone, I have Robins signature lightcone but not sure how well it would match with Sunday) be a viable choice instead of Harmony MC? I try to just play for fun with characters I like like all of the above ones but still be able to clear content.
6:51 Now, I'm gonna play it straight here: I spent way too many relic shards on the body part because I was getting upset farming it: half in part because that shit was just *not dropping,* but also becuase I genuinely thought that it could roll Break Effect. I was thinking of Effect Hit.
In other words, I did the same thing with the Sphere but for Fire Damage (which is not as good because FF should just have MOAR ATK)
