True, but the characters with non-playable Paths ended up in a mostly unrelated paths anyways.
Harmony isn't an unrelated path, it's one he was explicitly disillusioned with in the story. Not every characters paths match their in story ones but I also think it would be strange for him and his sister to both end up in harmony

Would love a male harmony unit sometime this century though so that I can stop feeling salty about skipping every new busted support

Would also love another dark skinned unit, preferably one that's not shit but this is Mihoyo so...
Not a Harmony unit but rumors saying a male support will be released after 2.3 the earliest, and he will be the best support for
leaks
Also Caelus is male Harmony, tho if you chose Stelle at the start of the game then you're out of luck. For those who has him tho, Super Break is like Hyperbloom in genshin. Great floor, decent ceiling, and can work with a lot of underdog units such as Welt due to his skill bounces just like Harmony MC's skill. Bonus for male team when the current best Super Break sustain is Gallagher. The only problem is obviously Ruan Mei being their other best support.
1. I know of that rumoured character though I'm still waiting for his design to finally get leaked properly
2. It goes without saying but I picked Stelle and I do not count player characters in this discussion in the first place

Lighting makes it ambiguous but I'm intrigued. Still need to see on the not shit part but if the main boss was worse than his Stone hearts that would be an achievement in and of itself
I'm sure every Emanator is supposed to be as strong as Acheron, with their own unique ultimate mechanism related to their Path. Maybe it would be like one of these Simulated Universe quake mechanism where the amount of shield you have can add to damage or something.
Since we are talking team comps, is there any advice you guys can give me?
I have fully build: Dan Heng IL, Blade, Argenti, Luocha, Jing Yuan, Kafka, Acheron and Aventurine.
I'm working on (their traces and/or relics need lvl up): Caelusx3, Himeko, Jingliu, Black Swan, Welt and Ratio.
I also have but not touching: Clara + all 4*
And I have my eye on: Boothill (husbando), SW and Firefly (Stellaron Hunters) and Sparkle (Skill points + she's deranged)
I'm not looking to build the most meta team ever, but any advice on who should I prioritize for easier times on harder content and such is welcome.
Acheron doesn't use any of the Nihility SU mechanism tho, rather she uses the Erudition path mechanism (ult piercing resistance) for her ult. She's a unique case since an Emanator of Nihility isn't supposed to ever exist in the first place, and you achieve it not by faithfully follow IX but actively resisting THEM, aiming to kill the Aeon ultimately. That's why her gameplay design doesn't involve her debuffing enemies or applying DoTs but rather feeding on such mechanics. She is Nihility but functions as a Hunt, Destruction, Erudition all at once. So the only thing I can see using her as an example is that Emanators can be a release every anniversary, like the Archons in genshin. But now Genshin also have ancient Dragons hype, so I can see the Dragon High Elders of other Xianzhou ships having special treatment too (DHIL was the first ever powercreep we've gotten afterall). Stellaron Hunters are hyped too but after Firefly there's only Elio left and they seem to be like the Fatui in Genshin.
Due to lore reasons I doubt we will see playable Emanators of all Paths. You can go from being an immortal living planet like Rahu to Herta who prefers spending her time on puppet body (5 star Herta when???). And I think the chance of having a playable Lord Ravager is quite low, they scream boss-only materials. Septimus was Harmony Emanator before Sunday usurped it using Order power and well it's dead. Diamond could be playable if they want to but so far his role is still a mastermind behind the scene so we will have to wait and see, Taravan is described to be a fat dude so his chance to be playable is zero. But if Sampo being Aha Emanator is true he might get a 5 star version eventually.
We don't have full confirmation of Xianzhou generals being Emanators of Lan, but rather they have Emanator's powers via their Stands. So the most likely next playable Emanator that is hyped to heavens I believe will be Marshal Hua. I've seen a theory that the generals got their Stands from Hua just like the Stonehearts obtained Cornerstones from Diamond. As the Boss of all 6 Xianzhou generals, who is most likely based on Fu Hua, if there are any char who can get the same treatment like Raiden Mei it would be her. I expect her to do game breaking single target dmg without needing to break or anything that makes Boothill cry because she is One Punch woman in all other games. They can even make her immortal like HI3rd where she has a passive that casually says: this character cannot be killed, she will revive whenever her HP drops to 0, no limit usage.
Kafka, Black Swan, Acheron and Aventurine is enough for 99% of content. That's one side of MoC and PF done. For the second team I think Jingliu, Blade, Tingyun (you should really raise her), and Luocha should work for MoC/PF second side. For easier time you should try to get a Bronya or Ruan Mei.
Just looking at your built roster, you have more than enough characters to clear, except for one problem being that you lack Limited Harmony supports, ESPECIALLY Ruan Mei. But even if you don't plan to get her, you can still clear everything right now.
Acheron teams will be your best and easiest investment overall since Trinihility (Black Swan, Kafka, Acheron) is the most versatile comp atm that can tackle all modes. In fact the team is so strong you can throw Ruan Mei/Robin/Sparkle/Bronya in the last slot and yolo with no sustain. But normally just give the team Aventurine (equip him with Trend of Universal Market LC) then you can clear both MoC and PF.
The best part is, you can even split Kafka Swan DoT onto one team (replace Acheron with Asta and throw Luocha in) then Acheron hypercarry for the other team (pair her with the new rumored male support + Pela + Aventurine using Trend LC) and there you have two powerful comps, with the least amount of investment required, capable to destroying most contents.
I think right now you should raise Black Swan, then roll the mythical Acheron male support. It's better to have a focus on a strong set of chars than building a bunch of chars that end up going nowhere IMO. Once you could blaze through MoC you can just roll for your favs down the line.
For PF you can use Trinihility on one side and Argenti hypercarry on the other (raise Tingyun), can switch with Himeko + Herta during FUA season.
Next patch is the next Simulated Universe DLC release right? Will there be any new blessing Path?
Only the Divergence Universe that will help you farm things faster. There is no new blessing Paths but there will be a lot of new Curios, path blessing combos and occurances to spice things up. The path expansion is currently being planned to release with either Screwllum or Stephen afaik.
There are a few interesting new mechanics they are testing that we can see being used later, such as a curio that allows DoT to crit. Perhaps a sign of them releasing a new DoT support later to free Kafka Swan from Ruan Mei. One of the reasons DoT was unpopular in CN is because it has lowest ceiling out of the current archetypes (crit and break), so allowing it to crit (like Nahida in Genshin) is a great idea.

Another interesting thing in the code is that they removed the cap of 5 enemies on the field. This might be a sign of them putting more enemies on the field, which will allow aoe chars to keep being relevant.
This gotta be the breeziest Pure Fiction in quite a while. Could've 8k it if I finished building my Guinafen and Sampo.
Thank you both for the advices. I'll get to work on my supports on a couple days once my reserved TP refills enough.
Regarding Ruan Mei, I'll consider her on her next rerun, depending on who else is coming out too by then (can't remember if it was leak already or not).
Reruns are removed from beta to stop leakers so all are speculations at this point. But she has very high chance for a rerun in 2.3 because of Firefly. She is one key component of Super Break and I doubt they would miss the chance. Tho if she is in, I wonder if she will rerun with Firefly or Jade.
Oh, if she reruns with Jade I may try my luck then.
Yeah, nah this is cancer, I'm done with Trend LC Gepard RNG for Acheron .

SP positive Preservation unit with full time 100% chance taunt when
That's why I use Fire MC instead of Gepard. They are not SP positive and their team protection is mid, but they have guaranteed taunt (if u give them some EHR) lol.
I doubt they will release more sustains soon tho since those chars don't sell as good as dps and supports.
Aventurine is pretty SP positive but no taunt
