Begin 10-14 days before launch for optimal efficiency:
- Daily regen: 240 Power (180 natural + 60 daily training)
- 10-14 day total: 2,400-3,360 Power
- Covers RNG variance + 2 weekly resets
Priority Order
Week 1 (Days 1-7):
- Weekly boss materials (time-gated)
- Stagnant Shadow materials
- Overworld enemy materials
Week 2 (Days 8-14):
- Crimson Calyx materials
- Remaining Stagnant Shadow runs

Signature Light Cone Analysis
Aglaea: Time Woven Into Gold
- SPD boost: +12 to +20 (S1-S5)
- CRIT DMG stacks: +9-15% per stack, max 6 stacks (+54-90% total)
- Basic ATK DMG: +9-15%
Performance: 18-22% DPS gain over best 4-star at S1, 25-28% at S5. Eases SPD breakpoint requirements (134/135+ or 160/161).
Sunday: A Grounded Ascent
- Energy regen: 6-8 per activation
- Hymn stacks: +15-24% DMG per stack, max 3 stacks (+45-72% total)
Performance: 12-15% team DPS gain at S1. Enables faster Ultimate rotations (15-20% more frequent).
Signature vs Eidolon
Aglaea E1: +25% DEF ignore (2 stacks) = 18-22% damage boost. Matches signature value, but signature eases relic requirements via SPD substats.
Sunday: Signature likely exceeds E1 value for most teams. Support Eidolons provide less individual value than DPS Eidolons.
Pull Strategy by Spending Tier
F2P ($0-15/month)
Income: 4,000-5,000 Jades/patch
Priority:
- Secure featured character (14,400 avg, 28,800 max)
- Save for future meta
Pull signature only if:
- Won 50/50 early
- Character is main DPS
- Low Superimposition 4-star alternatives
Dolphin ($50-200/patch)
Can afford one character + signature with planning.
Approach:
- Secure character first
- Evaluate signature vs upcoming banners
- Pull if next 2-3 patches lack must-pulls
HSR Oneiric Shards recharge via BitTopup maximizes monthly budget value.
Whale (Unlimited)
Standard: E2-E6 + S1 signature
- Always get S1 for limited 5-stars
- Prioritize Eidolons after signature
- Target E2 breakpoints (largest DPS spike)
Account Progression
Early game (TL 1-40): Character roster only, skip signatures Mid game (TL 41-60): Consider signatures for main DPS Late game (TL 61+): Signatures become optimization priority

Common Mistakes
Prefarming before confirming pulls: Wait until you have guaranteed Jades (28,800 character, 41,600 character+LC). Exception: weekly bosses (time-gated, convertible).
Neglecting Credits/XP: Reserve 2-3 days Power for Golden Calyx and Bud of Memories. Need 3,308,000 Credits + 400-450 XP books per character.
Ignoring material overlap: Aglaea and Sunday share zero materials. Map overlaps before farming multiple characters.
Poor Power management: Allocate 100% Power to prefarm during 10-14 day window. Pause relic farming and unnecessary activities.
Late weekly boss start: Begin immediately when planning pulls. 12 materials = 4-6 weeks. Use Dream Ticker conversions to accelerate.
Team Compositions
Aglaea Teams
Core: Aglaea + Sunday + Harmony (Sparkle/Bronya/Tingyun) + Sustain (Aventurine/Luocha/Gallagher)
Material notes:
- Sunday uses different Calyx (Harmony vs Remembrance)
- Tingyun (Phase 3 rate-up) shares no materials
- Aventurine uses Penacony materials (no overlap)
Alternatives:
- Hypercarry: Aglaea + Sunday + Sparkle + sustain
- Dual DPS: Aglaea + secondary DPS + Sunday + sustain
Sunday Teams
Optimal partners:
- Aglaea (primary synergy)
- Future Remembrance characters
- Jing Yuan (existing summon DPS)
Priority: Build Sunday before other supports—his summon buffs (+50% vs +30%) are irreplaceable for Remembrance teams.
Multi-Character Farming
Efficient schedule:
- Mon-Wed: Aglaea Stagnant Shadow + Calyx
- Thu-Sat: Sunday Stagnant Shadow + Calyx
- Sun: Weekly bosses
- Daily: Overworld materials
