Your e2s1 Castorice could be weaker than e0s1 Castorice of others
Hi trailblazers, I'm writing this post for who want to pull e2s1 Castorice and skip all the other new characters or her potential teammates. First of all, this post is not intended to ppl who pulls e6 and only waifu or husbando pullers. Pull whoever you want. From meta perspective, I would say we have enough experience from previous patches to discuss about it.
Let's start from Acheron. She was anniversary character like Castorice and she was very busted so people even skipped her LC cuz never thought she will be have any problems in near patches. Some players guaranteed themselves LC for both dmg and comfort purposes. 2.1 was insane, 2.2 she dominated, 2.3 was good enough and 2.4 reached to live servers and Jiaoqui released. E0s0 pullers had stack generation issues and they had to pull Jiaoqui for not benching Acheron in near future. E0s1 pullers thought she was good enough and they were blinded by pulling Feixiao for new team, so they skipped fox-lad. No need to predict, Jiaoqui havers had a lot easier time with end-game and had better results than e0s1 Acheron. For 2.5 and even 2.6 patches, data from EN and CN shows, Jiaoqui's avg scores in game modes in general using 95-97% of Acheron+Jiaoqui combo and it is every time better than Acheron e0s1 and even e2s1 performances without it. So e0s0/1 acheron + jiaoqui > e2s1 acheron without jiaoqui.
To sum all the text above, Mydei and Tribbie can make e0s1 Castorice better than e2s1 Castorice alone. We still need to wait for her beta v1 and v3 version for verdict, but don't go blindly for eidolons of Castorice if you want to enjoy her.
PS: I know her eidolons looks juicy and even I being f2p want to take at least one eidolon for her. But for f2p value, from my perspective e0s1 value with pulling good suited characters to her is better than taking eidolons + mid allies.
Thanks for reading allat, good luck on gacha.
