HSR 4.6 - AS Starward - E2S1 Firefly, E1S1 Evanescia, E0S1 Castorice - 11654 pts 1st clear

Early endgame reset, how fun. I wish we had weekly resets in general. This AS felt easier than the previous one even though my score wasnt exactly higher. I think the teams are pretty interchangeable for this one but I feel like I picked the optimal setup from the start, based on buffs and previous experience. Firefly stomps Kafka and gets the best clear of the bunch ignoring all mechanics. Kafka is really showing her age as a boss, even with the added mechanics from AS she just cant keep up with more modern bosses and is too easy to faceroll. The Ichor Memosprite on the other hand is pretty annoying because it forces you go through the filler phase at the start and then the boss itself has a huge toughness bar that just takes a while to break. But Evanescia does well all things considered and the elation buff here is very strong since it per instance so it can stack multiple times if you have more characters that can debuff enemies. Hoolay I knew monorem would be good at because hes been here before. Its funny how you can almost deplete his whole hp bar before he even goes into the 1v1 mode, if only I had E2 Castorice. This one feels like it has the most room for optimization but even on first clear I thought it was still pretty good. Oh and yeah, I pulled E2 Pearl, took me a total of 210 pulls for 3 Pearl copies, which is better than average. Im currently very tempted to also go for E2 Evanescia while her banner is still on but I should probably wait for Aha V3.
