It's better to do everything on your main account. You will end up needing multiple teams and as long as you keep up with the free resources it shouldn't be too hard to play what you want.

Rossi looks like she slots into physical teams as well. May have to switch Wulfgard from Laevatains team and replace him with Antal so Wulfgard can go with Rossi, Gilberta and maybe Endmin.
Yeah... we'll see how it goes but it takes so long to max out a character, much less a team. If someone just wants to do be able to do the content, just leveling to 80 is fine. But I'd like to max out multiple characters and see how fast I can annihilate the harder modes.

The truth is the game is fun enough to do it twice, but i could definitely see myself abandoning this account in the future when the amount of daily activity increases or my main account starts getting more maxed out characters over time.

Rather than do that I'm just trying to play each Gacha game in turn. Started with Genshin, did ZZZ, didn't like it and dropped it, did Endfield, did Wuwa, currently playing through that story. Star Rail sometime in the future and NTE when it comes out.

I don't know how much gacha game experience you have but you're never going to be able to max everything nor should you try. There are always going to be good characters and bad characters and resources spent on bad characters is a waste. Even with your main team you need to spend resources where they're most efficient. You never have as much as you want.

My Laevatain for example is max everything. Including talents, which costs a lot in this game compared to other games. My Ardellia is 90 with a few maxed talents and a 90 weapon.

My Akekuri and Wulfgard however are both level 80 with level 80 weapons and only level 9 talents because more than that would be a waste of resources I could put into a better operator. I consider this team "complete" even though it isn't maxed.

The returns for maxing Akekuri and Wulfgard wouldn't even count for a second faster on top level content.

If you are desperate for more resources though, the paid battle pass gives a shitload. Far far more than other equivalent games.

This guy has to be a brainrotted gooner to think the design is anything but a way to harpoon pervert whales. I just started integrating Ember in my physical team and my CPU's utilization is increasing just to calculate her boob physics in her barely on corset.

I wish there were clothing options just to cover these poor girls up.

Really like? In the genre? Or just in EF?

In the genre, none really as it is mostly Genshin Impact flowery dress shit. In that vein, I would say I "like" characters like Jean / Eula from Genshin Impact.

In EF itself, none really. Passable characters would be Perlica, Chen, Arclight, Snowshine. Honorable mention would be Avywenna, but her outfit is too busy.

Edit: I guess an overall TLDR would be that I like "sleek-n-sexy" over "disney princesses".

Hmmm.... so you like EULA



but EF has too many disney princesses?

I dunno, the characters in this genre all seem very busy, including EULA.

These characters are designed to be harpoons for whales. I think whales like the busy designs. Saying they "look like shit" is being more dramatic than Ember's costume design.

I'm surprised there isn't customization options for the characters, it feels like just a few small choices would increase sales dramatically. I think the designs for this entire genre are way too busy, but Endfield seems like it fits right in. I'd instantly remove Laevatain's dumbass demon detector ring and Ember's weird leg shield things.

My favourite design in Endfield is probably Laevatain but only if you get rid of the silly iron half-circle she wears. Most of the characters are hot though and that's really what matters in games like this.

Don't worry, outfits are probably coming. Paid of course.

We got Eula drunk in the latest Genshin Impact quest. A thousand fanfics were born.

for Genshin characters I like these designs the best:

I could do this all day. No surprise the good Genshin characters are the recent ones.

Haven't seen any Wuwa ones I'm crazy for yet. ZZZ was also pretty barren of great character design other than Jane Doe.

If you think Endfield is Gooner bait you should check out ZZZ.

Pretty much anything that isn't a disney princess-esque dress style.

I dislike all the character styles that Chysamere Chysamere posted, with the cat girl being a possible exception.

I made a long rant in one of the Survey's about how bad I thought most of the EF characters looked compared to the gameworld itself. All the 6* star characters look out of place within the game world. Look at all the default Endfield Industry characters, they all have a similar design that actually fits the world, Endmin included. Out of all those 6*, I would say only Gilberta and Lifeng "fit" the style of a futuristic world and possibly Pog. Though with Pog its like he is wearing a dress uniform used for ceremonies, rather than a battle uniform. Ember would look ok IF they either removed all the extraneous doodads from her outfit or had them be part of her combat kit (like the stupid iron ring with Laeva).

Chysamere Chysamere mentioned ZZZ, and imo, that game has a stacked character list in regards to design, lots of top tier characters. I consider it Mihoyo's best game, I hope they get out of their China Pride phase eventually though. Sucks that I don't play my favorite team well enough to stomp all content.
