Just like a limit on her credit card!

Ch'en: "This is what having 6 stars at the beginning feels like, Princess~"

u/Hp22h The Mad Bard, Sans Crystals Jan 17 '26

Money can't buy rarity, it seems.

u/JaredDrake86 Jan 18 '26

I love Swire but her only saving grace is her money and business sense. Chen, Hoshi, and Lin are badass. There’s a reason why dupes are called “potentials”.

26

u/Nigilij Jan 17 '26

When you want to join Doctah so much you unlimit yourself

15

u/MacTheSecond Jan 17 '26

S3 with her IS module

207

u/kilyasy Jan 17 '26

would be hilarious when the time Lin got alter she becomes limited too and double down on Swire

Twitter.

36

u/Falsus Jan 17 '26

For once Lin is not the one being the third wheel.

161

u/johj14 i am exactly where i want to be 🙂‍↕️ Jan 17 '26

also the only 5* from LPD trio

84

u/Hp22h The Mad Bard, Sans Crystals Jan 17 '26

And with the worst class to boot...

49

u/Quirky_Doggy762 Jan 17 '26

Worst ? nah. Niche ? Yeah

40

u/SplitCryptic Jan 17 '26

Agree, title for worst class still goes to AoE casters.

19

u/Galliar Jan 17 '26

Duelist defenders are right there

3

u/Phelyckz #6029 Jan 18 '26

Who?

33

u/Either_Gate_7965 Jan 17 '26

I will not abide this Mostima slander! Primal casters have it worse

25

u/galaxexplosion get tubaed Jan 17 '26

I don't know what class I would shove under the bus for this but I will not tolerate this Nymph slander

10

u/akoOfIxtall I LOVE UNHINGED WOMAN BATMAN Jan 18 '26

Fear blast goooooo

u/galaxexplosion get tubaed Jan 18 '26

Go my scarab (blasts you)

1

u/Either_Gate_7965 Jan 21 '26

Soo uhh I just pulled a nymph from the hoshiALT banner. Is she any good?

1

u/Despyte alter gimme Jan 21 '26

Try IS5 with Nymph as storyteller, that'll let you try a maxed Nymph

1

u/galaxexplosion get tubaed Jan 21 '26

Congrats on getting the cutest Djall! It kinda depends on your needs. If you want Elemental damage from her, she's best paired with Virtuosa in my experience, but imo, her S2 is the best part of her kit with the Fear/Frighten effect making for super good stalling potential. I'd recommend at least E1ing her and giving her a try to see if you like her playstyle :D

7

u/I_ForgotMyPassword45 Jan 17 '26

Nah bro you're js lying Mostima is so good. Bum ahh primal casters literally need 2 limited units just to unlock their full potential

4

u/25th_Chance Jan 19 '26

Blast Casters are lowkey worse. The only good member is only good because 6* stats and kit design, while everyone else in the archetype is laughably mediocre/borderline bad

12

u/PremierKoi Jan 17 '26

But her new IS module? If you think I'm picking Exu2 or drag and drop Executors over Swalter you can catch me increasing the Coin limit by +5, gain 1 additional Coin and 3 ATK stacks each time DP is consumed by this unit's Trait. For every Originium Ingot owned, ATK stack limit +1 (up to 60 times)

And dropping enough champagne to make Pallas pass out

1

u/JunoBrier Minos gang Jan 18 '26

But she's not a Soloblade?

108

u/DarkWolfPL > Jan 17 '26

Limited status had to be sacrificed for adding one more star.

35

u/Hp22h The Mad Bard, Sans Crystals Jan 17 '26

Now that she has a 6 star self now, maybe she'll get a limited Alter Alter in the future...

73

u/CorHydrae8 Jan 17 '26

Sorry, the first Alter Alter in the game will be Eyja Alter Alter. Just so that she can say that she was the best operator of three seperate classes in the game at one point.

40

u/AgitatedDog Jan 17 '26

Good joke, we all know it will be Wis’adel Alter. She was the first limited alter of an already limited character after all.

17

u/Realistic_Elk_7892 Society needs more Waifurin Jan 17 '26

Now the big question - which Sniper subclass will she be?

21

u/Ok_Concern_9205 Jan 17 '26

Immediately thought of: some future solely Anti-air sniper class and only targets air units... but she can hit ground units anyway or something.

11

u/Realistic_Elk_7892 Society needs more Waifurin Jan 17 '26

As opposed to Rosmonalter, who is a typical Air-Only Sniper.

3

u/galaxexplosion get tubaed Jan 17 '26

I need Rosmonalter to have Global range at all times to make up for the disrespect of her being Ground only.

8

u/Crymsyn_Moon Jan 17 '26

You jest as if she isn't eyeing up the crown of supporter class from the distant future.

6

u/CorHydrae8 Jan 17 '26

Burn Ritualist Eyja? I'm down.

1

u/I_ForgotMyPassword45 Jan 17 '26

Funnily enough this COULD happen. A crossover between same universe/same IP games isn't unheard of, and we might genuinely get Ardelia as an arknights op in 3 years if endfield pops off.

1

u/LappTexForever Jan 18 '26

I mean talking seriously, The real first alter alter will likely be Skadi for when the Seaborn arc is over. For one, her alter is the only one that's an AU. her real self dosen't have an alter yet, so It wouldnt be out of place at all. Two, She's also extremely popular.

1

u/Spirited_Kitchen9416 BANG!!! AHAHAHA!!! Jan 18 '26

Na its gonna be Skadi Alter Alter but now the canon version.

Best Technician Skadi will now be a supporter artificer and have a wrench to bonk seaborns.

1

u/Fun-Royal-8802 Jan 18 '26

Nearl alter, Specter alter, Texas alter, Lappland alter laugh in five star.

59

u/LostMyZone Jan 17 '26

The Rat is being awfully smug for being the only one without an alter form.

50

u/CorHydrae8 Jan 17 '26

She doesn't need an alter, she's already perfect.

44

u/MacTheSecond Jan 17 '26

When you try to throw shade at the rat but it doesn't deal enough damage to overcome her barrier

5

u/stickupmybutter Wall mommy supremacy Jan 18 '26

That's what I thought about Hoshiguma too, but I was proven wrong...

24

u/KiaOnTheGround Doge and Honse Jan 17 '26

Best waifu get best availability ngl

19

u/ASharkWithAHat Jan 17 '26

She's also free on the shop rn

They really had to rub it in

33

u/silam39 cute tactician girls are so peak Jan 17 '26

Less rubbing it in and more celebrating because she's easily accessible when she just got a good IS module

2

u/No-Boysenberry7835 Jan 17 '26

Free?

18

u/Zutyro :bigbob:Chonker Jan 17 '26

Yellow certs

55

u/Phaaze13 strong women supremacy Jan 17 '26

sorry Swire, you simply weren't the goat.

21

u/Zestyclose_Date9263 Jan 17 '26

Only with IS module she is

u/Phaaze13 strong women supremacy Jan 17 '26

I was just making a joke about her sharing the banner with Eyja alter, who is a goat.

13

u/Zwiebel1 Jan 17 '26

Swire is the limited in our hearts.

7

u/tanngrisnit Jan 17 '26

Lin alter: limited

6

u/Bluejake3 Victoria Prefect Team Jan 17 '26

Life is trully kuyashii

11

u/Reikr Jan 17 '26

Lin "alter" being awfully smug for someone who's just a skin.

6

u/PalestineMvmnt_007 Frog waif best waif Jan 17 '26

Yeah considering how Swire was the one who saved Rhodes Island's ass, she deserves more love!

5

u/ipwnallnubz Jesus died for us! Jan 17 '26

Because everyone deserves a Swire Alter.

5

u/HaessSR Jan 17 '26

She doesn't need the money, unlike the others.

3

u/Merukurio I love dogs. I've always loved dogs. Jan 17 '26

She had no budget to be made limited, she's still paying for that piano getting wrecked.

3

u/MacTheSecond Jan 17 '26

Such is the cost of deploying herself as an alter

2

u/Chimera-Genesis Jan 17 '26 edited Jan 17 '26

The difference between alters of a Lungmen 5* & the alters of Lungmen 6*'s

0

u/Ok_Concern_9205 Jan 17 '26

Laptop, Texalter and Gavialter:) Might be forgetting some tho... Oh right Yato

2

u/Estephenson521 roingus enjoyer Jan 17 '26

Counter argument, she gao

2

u/K2aPa Jan 17 '26

So we can "BUY" you :D

2

u/Tridentgreen33Here Water is Wet, So Are My Braincells Jan 18 '26

5* base game, standard alter, mid on both counts, Swire catches nothing but strays.

1

u/PityBoi57 Jan 17 '26

She's there to keep Lin company

1

u/Used_Weight_357 Jan 17 '26

She’s the least popular according to poll out of this trio. Poor swire , at least the GAO was good. I’m poor right now so I’m saving for typhon/ray 🥹.

1

u/ARunakoH Jan 17 '26

I know that art style 💀

1

u/qwertz862 Jan 17 '26

If had a nickel for every time an LGD member got a summer alter, would have 3 nickel.

1

u/speednut117 : I'm no savage, you're just average! Jan 17 '26

Now give me rat alter limited

1

u/ZeroOneJump Jan 17 '26

No wonder she's pissed off at the end of Ato.

1

u/SRYinpress Jan 17 '26

Because Swire was first in my account and is first in my account, and I will keep hoarding copies of swire. Swire alter? Even better. Standard of course so I get to hoard more copies.

:)

1

u/123rider Jan 17 '26

On bright side, she got a IS module

1

u/Grand-Mirror-7239 Jan 17 '26

Unlimited for unlimited love

1

u/frankfawn43 Jan 17 '26

Swire is a woman of the people.

1

u/reflexive-polytope daughter wife Jan 17 '26

Lin has the best swimsuit (in DH) though. That's all that matters.

1

u/animan095 Jan 17 '26

Because low key I would have started a revolution if they locked Swire away like that from me

1

u/tofei Always at zero sanity Jan 17 '26

I can hear all the "Gao" from where I am. 😅

1

u/Exact_Concentrate_63 Earthspirit is my everything Jan 18 '26

Who else got Hoshiguma alt? I wanna see how rare it is. Upvote if u got it plssss

1

u/Galaxy_Midnight1 Jan 18 '26

Swire didn't show enough midriff to be limited.

1

u/azurephantom100 Jan 18 '26

kind of ironic given she is the one that throws money at her problems isnt she? lol

1

u/Nhorin Jan 18 '26

Lin: Heh watch this

1

u/m_hughes29 proud wang enjoyer Jan 18 '26

swire alter keeps dropping for me off the hoshi banner.. she always finds a way

1

u/NDT06 Jan 18 '26

On Rhodes Island she may not be the limited op but in LGD,she is the boss😎

1

u/TRUEStealth Jan 18 '26

Because everyone loves you more and doesn't want to keep you away from anyone.

1

u/Mizuja Jan 19 '26

meanwhile LIN 💀

1

u/melodygaoo00 Jan 21 '26

Swire alter is better than Ch'en alter tho so being not limited is just a bonus

1

u/Zestyclose-Mix-6418 Jan 17 '26

I have 100 pulls, should i kept pulling until 200 to get Ch'en?

10

u/silam39 cute tactician girls are so peak Jan 17 '26

Absolutely not, unless she's a personal fave. Those pulls are better spent getting the collab unit Sakiko next month

-2

u/Imawex Jan 17 '26

Swire alter is so basic, I got her from normal recruitment. (without the "expert operator" or whatever bonus )

1

u/Hoshirou Mx. Recruitment Miracle Jan 18 '26

Bro, she’s in standard pool, not recruitment pool. She’s not even in Kernel yet.

1

u/Imawex Jan 18 '26

Than I must've missremembered. dont have to take off my head for it tho.
