HSR gameplay progress
So far, here's my score for the current endgame MoC dungeon, and the results from the last version which just finished when the patch rolled over. Comparing the two, overall cycles have decreased for the same level, so I guess my overall char-builds & team-building have improved.
Also, for the current run, I actually did better for lvl 12 than lvl 11! And 13 cycles is just 3 away from getting all 3 stars (and if I get 3 stars on lvl 12, it will automatically give me the missing stars on lvl 11). So, that's something to work towards...
Next, a couple more "graduated" characters. They're at a stage where their gear and stats are good enough that it's not worth it for me to specifically grind for more.
Of these, Luocha and Fu Xuan are my earliest 5 star sustains, so they've helped me through a lot of tough content. Although Luocha has been severely powercrept by later healers, I can still get by with him, so I haven't pulled for any other 5 star healers (and currently not planning to pull for Lingsha either). Fu Xuan is also not quite fitting the current meta (which is headed in the way of lots high speed mobs). I do plan to pull Aventurine when his rerun comes around, but that's more for the slash factor. :p
Ruan Mei is definitely a linchpin of the current Break meta, and I don't regret pulling her light cone and E1. Tingyun is one of the best 4 stars in the game and has managed to remain relevant all the way since game launch, which is a pretty incredible feat.
As to my currently focused works in progress...
Generally looking to build March up in time to be Fei Xiao's support DPS. There's about a month to go for that, so plenty of time to level the traces and finalize the gear. Her speed is already pretty high, so looking to get some appropriate Firmament set of belt ornaments for her. Once I have her built, I can have the protagonist trio viably on the same team for exploration of the new map! XD
I am still looking to get the Harmony!MC speed to 145 to meet the reqs of her belt ornaments (she's at 144 speed right now >_<)
Jingliu is...almost done? Will need to finish leveling her belt ornaments to max and see if the stats are ok or need any adjusting. But not sure if I want to continue farming EQ pieces for her since my luck on that set is awful.
Asta is at 159 speed, just 1 short of the 160 breakpoint, and that number is driving me nuts. =P Will be on the looking for more speed on her.
Levelling wise, was originally planning to ascend Dr. Ratio to 80 next. But since there's been no leaks on when Aventurine's rerun will be, and the upcoming bosses next patch are not quite friendly to him, I might hold off until his other half comes around. In that case, I will probably level Argenti next, since upcoming bosses are more likely to be weak to physical (due to pushing Yunli banner), and might switch over to farming physical damage gear.
Finally, looking into switching Gallagher from Messenger + Passenger gear to Messenger + break dmg (either Watchmaker or Thief) gear. Especially if I can find a way to push his speed to 160 as well (he's currently at 152). Though since this will require swapping/farming multiple sets, it's gonna be lower in priority.

What I'm getting out of this is: Pull the girls. They'll always stay more relevant than the boys.

Still, there are people complaining about Kafka/Black Swan being no longer as good due to the meta moving away from DoT, and the next patch is probably not going to be the best for Archeron what with the heavy lightning resist and the high speed mobs not able to get debuffs to stick.
More likely, the rule of thumb is to pull whatever representative of the meta Hoyo is pushing at the moment to stay relevant. :p
Currently, that's Firefly, Yunli, and upcoming Feixiao. (Break meta & counter/follow-up meta)

Yes, spend money to stay on top of the meta is always the most optimal. But for long term players who don't want to ditch their old characters... *sob* I just want some hot guys being BL bait, is that so much to ask?

Are there even female-targeted games (RPGs specifically)? This is making me want to take up FF14 again, because at least that game has a lot eye-candy for the female gamer and the outfits are kinda fun. Too bad it's a time-sink MMO tho'...
