Upcoming Hubbies/Male Characters
Here is the list of investment recommendation for upcoming male characters. I can make in-depth post for each dude too. FYI, Freda, Elpis and Long are too broken, so even if you want to pair any of them into any of the hubby/male char team comps, they will work just fine (:
Solbyrd (D1/D3 + MT): Corrosion main dps who requires his D1 not to remain clunky. At Dupe 3 he can be sub-dps for any team comp (but better pair him with another corrosion char, preferably Lorelle). High priority for his MT (too breathtaking)
Midas (D0/D1 + MT): Physical + summon main and sub dps, can be paired with Luke, Cenying and Tong before Lionel arrives. Not reliant on Dupes at all but Dupe 1 allows him to leash out higher damage. Top priority for his MT (core MT for physical team)
Lynn (D0/D1 + MT): Fire sub dps and tank, paired with Cyros, Bailitusu and Thea. Not reliant on Dupes at all but his Dupe 1 allows him to maintain buff time + higher damage. Top priority for his MT (one of the most universal DEF MT in CN)
Lionel (D0/D1/D3 + MT): The goat anniversary physical dps...His dmg output is 20% higher than Long He (a broken fire dps in CN). His mechanic is extremely unique, can be paired with Midas, Luke, Cenying etc. His Dupe 1 and 3 are terrifying but selfish (cuz purely for his dmg output, unlike Solbyrd and other subdps). High priority for his MT (allows him to increase values for every aspect, e.g. DEF, MST, ATK, etc.)
Mamoru (D1 + MT): Wind dps, paired with Shiratori Azusa. Highly recommend to get his D1 as Mamoru feels incomplete at D0 (very slow at bursting etc.). Many CN players have criticised this. High priority for his MT
Wen Liu (D0/D1): Physical sub dps and tank, paired with Midas, Lionel, Luke, Tong, Cenying etc. He can be slotted into any team comps that need a vanguard. Dupe 1 allows him to unleash seed skills faster and increase his own output. Medium priority for his MT (if u love his story with Qing He, then go ahead <3)
Labolas (D1): Ice sub dps and support (the counterpart of Elpis that has greater buffs [i.e. DR reduction and dmg vulnerability at D1] but without the heals). He can be paired with any water and ice teammates, followed by fire teammates. Dupe 1 is highly recommended as he feels incomplete without it (according to CN). Low priority for his MT cuz nothing impressive (if u love his yandere side, go ahead. I might still pull for that regardless)
Si Yang (tbc): Electro/Lightning dps. The first ever character that can create electro/lightning zone.....The rest is tbc (:
ps: All the male chars listed here are valuable in meta so just go ahead with whoever you want to pull, even with just Dupe 0. However, Solbyrd > Mamoru = Labolas really appreciate that D1 lol. Also, Lionel is one of the very few broken anniversary dps across gatcha games so feel free to go for his D1/D3.
