go for it
runic ether
shop cones are good yes
torn harbor
it was 6 i didnt get lol
glossy latch
Damn I am actually hitting hard pity wtf
runic ether
but not insanely breaking
glossy latch
Ive got a fucking E6 Hook >.>
glossy latch
Im sure she is but she doesnt super fit any teamcomp I have lmao
glossy latch
Dont have Fu Xuan 
glossy latch
I do get one more 10-pull on sunday
runic ether
yeah me neither
glossy latch
Good news at least is
I can save up for a few months after that
I can probably get Screwllums E1 even
runic ether
i did phantylia with a level 60 welt thanks to her
i also have managed to speed tune her to be faster than my qq
while both hitting 134 benchmark
torn harbor
the only time ive seen her die is due to a like 15 danger level, level 5 difficulty, swarm battle
runic ether
oh yeah i have heard that in such situations she can get dicey if u didnt grab enough err
runic ether
true
just bring lynx tho should solve it
it strays into the realm of hard stall teams
torn harbor
(the problem is being one shot at that level if you dont kill them quick enough)
runic ether
yeah. lynx can alleviate it but it can be dicey
glossy latch
Either way, hoping I can get Fu Xuan within the next 10 rolls, and then Ill just wait and see
Also based on the March quest ||she totally is Fuli isnt she||
runic ether
||or is/was an eminator of fuli||
torn harbor
||what if she is actually just the kiana of this world||
runic ether
||im we will know once we see raiden and if she reacts to march at all||
runic ether
||Would her past really be that painful if thats all it was?||
||it could very well be that it pertains to a particular secret of fuli that the galaxy at large shouldnt know about||
torn harbor
there could be any number of stuff which could make it that ||raiden doesnt react, like seele doesn't know bronya too much until after we come in||
runic ether
||thats true too. plus according to some leaks its very possible we have 2 different raidens in hsr||
runic ether
||it also comes up to my crazy theory that akevili faked his death. pom pom is akevili and fuli sent an eminator to help akevili out in their infancy as they trailblaze again once the express was started up again||
torn harbor
||look im all for crack theories but at this point the trailblazer is more like akevili than pom pom XD||
glossy latch
||it also comes up to my crazy theory that akevili faked his death. pom pom is a...
That one doesnt quite work
||March joined the crew fairly late||
runic ether
||nah trailblazer is def related to the stellaron hunters. blade himself says he remembers us. we used to run with kafka and no one had survived as long as we had with her.||
glossy latch
||If anything Himeko would be more likely to be an emanator by that logic||
runic ether
||March joined the crew fairly late||
||yeah thats what i mean. once the express took off again when repaired, fuli sent someone. that being march. i know it doesnt line up perfectly but thats why its just a crazy theory of mine. no solid evidence of anything yet.||
torn harbor
||nah trailblazer is def related to the stellaron hunters. blade himself says he...
||my point was there is no world i see where pom pom is akevili||
glossy latch
Oh actually
There is something that suggests that ||March being an emanator|| is true
runic ether
||oh lol. i wouldnt doubt it. pom pom is of mysterious origins, no one knows where they came from, just that pom pom appeared after himeko fixed the express. and pom pom is stuck to the express.||
glossy latch
||The rating pistol only gives an invalid rating on 4 characters||
||And 1 of those is an emanator||
torn harbor
||this is like if people were to claim ai-chan was a herrscher||
glossy latch
||Jing Yuan is an emanator, Luocha looks likely to be one, and Sampo is ... well its Sampo||
Only issue is that ||Herta is an emanator|| and the rating pistol doesnt give an invalid rating
||But the Herta we play is only one of her puppets, so that might explain that||
torn harbor
||at this point we can be practically certain that sampo is one too lol||
runic ether
||yeah herta is just a puppet. we havent met the actual herta.||
torn harbor
||also yeah it might be cause we are playing a puppet||
glossy latch
We will probably be able to test this theory once we get ||Screwllum||
||Since all members of the genius society are emanators||
runic ether
||that curio could also be more capable of properly rating emanators from the genius society since it knows them well?||
||other aeons are tougher as a result due to lack of exposure||
glossy latch
||Well its moreso rating invalid, which suggests it can rate them, but they violate the rating framework||
But thats speculation
runic ether
thinking about furina's kit... yaoyao's stock has gone up a ton. especially on-fielder
my 1st team with furina im gonna try will be yaoyao candace furina raiden i think
glossy latch
Wriothesley is this patch ye?
Wonder how many rolls I can farm up if I play through the story
runic ether
at least 2 10 pulls if not more
also i will say, every single fontaine character has been great and has made me wanna pull for em. but i have resisted for furina
this includes wriothsley
runic ether
like fischl but hydro
glossy latch
So basically you mostly want to swap out of her?
runic ether
her skill summons 3 creatures to attack
30 second duration on a 20 second cooldown
they drain hp of the entire party to boost their damage
she can stance change to then have a healer
her burst creates fanfare to boost more damage
shes an off-field dps and buffer/healer
she really wants to be played with a dedicated healer that heals the party and she enables everyone to use the maruchesse set which gives insane crit value
runic ether
basically tho, shes hydro
glossy latch
Im thinking of trying my hand at Wriothesley and then Arlecchino
runic ether
and hydro is the best element in the game
runic ether
xingqiu
runic ether
xq is the best character in the game
glossy latch
Got a 4* bow called ... stringless?
runic ether
stringless is great
glossy latch
Huh, thats something
runic ether
really good at higher refinements on fischl and tighnari and amber
at r4-5 its competitive with 5 star weapons
glossy latch
Neat
But yeah Im debating on whether to pull on the current banner for xingque more
Or just save it to not risk getting Neuvilette early over Wriothesley
runic ether
xq is still in the starglitter shop rn
if you have 34 currency u can trade in for xq
and yeah its tricky
cus if u do get wriothsley, xq and yelan will be some of his best teammates
glossy latch
Uhh
I am gonna say no but Ill check
And I doubt I can get enough starglitter in time
runic ether
hey u never know. if not i would consider building pity in neuv or hu tao
neuv doesnt work great with xq but he works well enough with diona and fischl
glossy latch
Oh yeah that makes more sense
Thatd be in line with star rails
Ive got 4, so thats a no lmao
runic ether
tough
glossy latch
Wait thats odd, I got like 4 4*s tho
long tree
Wait thats odd, I got like 4 4*s tho
runic ether
id def consider going for either banner. cus either character will be great for u. neuv more than tao but either is good
glossy latch
Oh wait
runic ether
and all 3 4 stars are good
glossy latch
You dont get starglitter from the first time you get a 4* in genshin?
runic ether
oh that explains. no u dont. i forgot about that
glossy latch
Huh, thats odd
Yeah no way I can get to 34 in time
Ill probably wait and see how much I can get, but first I wanna actually play through some of my backlog
glossy latch
Genshin is kinda fun now, but Sea of Stars is still the game I wanna play more
runic ether
top tier 4 stars
glossy latch
Ye so Ive heard, I just dont vibe with Neuvilettes gameplay
Wriothesley is more up my alley
runic ether
i saw someone clear spiral abyss floor 12 with solo neuvillette on a level 20 personal weapon
runic ether
Wriothesley is more up my alley
yea thats fair
if its any help, both neuvillette and furina will be decent teammates for wriothsley if u do end up getting him
also u could lose the 50/50
and guarantee wriothsley
runic ether
yup
glossy latch
I do enjoy the exploration, though I wonder if you ever get more movement options?
Because man stamina sucks
runic ether
you do in other regions
they realized that quicky after liyue that just running and climbing isnt enough for heights or crossing bodies if water
in inazuma, you get access to the waverider. a boat. and electro totems i forget their name
but they let characters infused with electro teleport to them quickly
in sumeru, u get mushrooms to hop onto which can be buffed for bigger jumps and the grapple thing thats like the electro ones but require no infusion
and in fontaine we get proper underwater exploration and these water launchers. and blimps
glossy latch
Neat
I do like grapples
Do you know off the top of your head how long the story quests are in total?
runic ether
where are u at
i know inazuma is decently long but not too bad
sumeru's could have been its own game for the full story
but bare minimum story could be shorter
runic ether
ah
glossy latch
But Im on the last step I think
runic ether
you are looking at about 40 hours to catch up to the story if u skip some stuff
maybe if u skip dialogue too u could cut it down
summer hornet
old galleon
wrong cc season : ^)
old galleon
fair enough
versed pawn
i know inazuma is decently long but not too bad
i swear like 1 chapter of sumerus archons quest is almost as long as the entire archon quest from inazuma
runic ether
yeah actually just about
chapter 1 sumeru i think has more word count than all of mondstat
not mondstat's archon quest
all of mondstat
runic ether
it was fanastic storytelling
idk how they could have shortened that part though
maybe if u had guessed the plot right the 1st time?
versed pawn
i played like 10 or so hours to complete the sumeru archon quest
runic ether
part 2 included?
oh i guess it doesnt count as a part 2
since its tied to nahida's story quest
versed pawn
i dont think so i just do main and sidequest in sumeru and go straight to fontaine once donw
versed pawn
everything is long
i realised because the primogem income got slower
because the quest go so slow LUL

I heard people were trying this so I went and did the thing
Laser beam man strong
versed pawn
And here iam waiting for punchy boi
old galleon
threw a ten roll at fu xuan, didn't get her, but did get lynx
so i'm content
the landau sisters are united
still missing gepard tho
now i have 3 healers to work with; of the three, only nat has eidolons
debating on continuing with her and going either bailu/lynx, or just dropping nat and going both bailu and lynx
i think lynx makes it safer to drop nat, but her debuff cleanse is on her ult instead of her skill, so it's a little trickier
oh also lynx seems to have natural synergy with preservation tanks so i can run her with mc to decent effect
also obv synergy with clara if i wanted to go that route
versed pawn
Lynx is decent with stuff like Clara, blade or tanks
Tho I don't think she slots well in hypercarry teams since healing anyone with the skill increases their aggro which is a downside
So in that case u can just keep nat in
old galleon
aggro only increases for preservation and destruction characters afaik
versed pawn
Oh than anyway I guess
Still like nat a bit more right now due the consistent cleansing ability
Wish bailu could get a 4* lc that cleanses on skill 
old galleon
also her basic scaling with max hp off the rip is neat, compared to nat needing e6 for it
versed pawn
The hp scaling Inst to Interesting
In either scenario dmg is to low for supports to matter on average
old galleon
i mean she's not gonna set the world on fire, but having somewhat competent damage is better than not
versed pawn
I just compare it to the main dmg dealers in my team which hit for like 200k-300k on set ups
The 2k dmg Autos don't make much a difference there
old galleon
if i know i'm gonna be using their basics anyway, i prefer that their basics have something that makes them distinct from regular basics
i'm not advocating for lynx or co as one's main damage dealer (though i wouldn't be surprised if someone tried it out for the content), but i think having the extra damage is nice, even in a world where you can hit a lot of damage with a carry
anyway, granblue just got a new version of siegfried
take a guess whether he's grand or not
ebon quartz
Damn okay
10 levels under leveled, shitty gear, and barely leveled traces and Fu Xuan nearly carried me through simulated universe.

i, for one, applaud sampo for finding something constructive to do with his life
old galleon

As it says- when Nearl returns, so will I
Gonna finish leveling this guy, and get both Fiametta and Ifrit to E2
But after that I’m taking a break from Arknights for a bit
I’ll probably try to put Star Rail on hiatus after this too
Bring my gacha count down to just FGO, in hopes of being able to properly commit to it better and complete the non-gacha games that’ve been piling up
long tree
@old galleon your the octopath cotc player here right? Do you know if there's a good banner up rn?
old galleon
full disclosure, i'm not as experienced at cotc as i am in the other games i play, so take my opinions accordingly
ignore the individual roland/frederica rate ups, those cost paid rubies
the banner where they're both on it can be rolled with regular rubies
and both look pretty good; they got buffed in global compared to jp
but you may want to hold anyway, since we might be getting a particularly good banner a bit afterward
long tree
Okay, I got Roland so I'm pretty cool with that, got some more 5 star capable units to fill out the team with for now, no healers though sadly
old galleon
use a 4* cleric, should be fine
long tree
What I'm using rn
long tree
I have zero clue if they're good but they have stars on them so I'm gonna assume yes
old galleon
I have zero clue if they're good but they have stars on them so I'm gonna assume...
serenoa is the best pure free character in teh game (of which there are only currently 2 in global lmao), but he's gonna want his 5* upgrade obv, and that's probably gonna be a bit (mine is still only 3* too)
similarly, all of your 4.5* are gonna want to be 5* eventually
idk if you have any other 5* to work with right now
long tree
I'm gonna work on Lars first probably, he's cool af
old galleon
given that enemy weakness vary pretty wildly, it's not a bad idea to diversify your comp a bit
long tree
idk if you have any other 5* to work with right now
Sadly not
old galleon
later in the game you'll be able to get items that upgrade your units rarity
it, like other things in this game, is inspired by another eden's script system which let you trade in scripts/treatises/etc to upgrade or sidegrade characters
in cotc they're seals and there are a few different ways to get them, but that'll be a bit later on for you

but that arnara quest went forever

Oh apparently Sampo Koski accidentally created Belobogs equivalent of the bigfoot myth
torn harbor
Nice
glossy latch
No Lynx though
Might actually do 1 more 10 pull for Lynx if I can save enough before the banner ends
runic ether
its not worth it
pulling 4 stars is super tough in hoyo games
what would u need lynx for with fu xuan at this point? blade? jingliu?
glossy latch
Oh can Fu Xuan handle healing on her own?
Also standard tickets
Im like super close to getting the 300 rolls reward on the standard banner
Though realistically thats still like
A few months away?
runic ether
Oh can Fu Xuan handle healing on her own?
100%
maybe needs a tiny bit of help with some paths in swarm disaster
but u have nat right? that should be enough
glossy latch
I mean everyone has nat no?
Im pretty sure the story unlocks her
Sadly mine doesnt have a lot of eidolons tho
glossy latch
Oh, that, yeah
I use her in the DoT team
Physical healer is actually quite nice
Btw how many AR do I need before I can do Spiral Abyss up to and including floor 4?
mystic python
You can prob do it at AR30
Have been playing an alt account a bit and it was easy at AR30, but ofc I've played the game for ages
But even if you can't there's no rush tbh, you can gain AR super fast and just do floor 4 later
glossy latch
Is Diona any good?
torn harbor
Oh can Fu Xuan handle healing on her own?
Yeah fu xuan can solo sustain easily
runic ether
Is Diona any good?
yeah shes quite decent
not the best but shes a solid mix of things so she gets relevant in various situtations
she is both healer and shielder. but neither of which are particularly the best
but she has both
she is also a really good battery
since her hold e skill gives a ton of energy particles
so if shes using favonious or sacrifical bows, she can really give a ton of energy to a cryo unit you have like kaeya or rosaria
if you plan to go for wriothsley, he may appreciate diona's healing and shielding so that his attacks dont get interrupted
also her healing would help enable the maruchesse hunter set
which would already be really good on him
like based on leaks, some early teams for wriothsely (freeze) would be wriothsely/xq/diona or rosaria or neuvillette or kaeya or yelan/kazuha or sucrose or heizou or jean
oh another option would be mono-cryo but idk how that will go quite yet
but mono-cryo for wriothsley would very much require kazuha and shenhe
hm
i think diona would be pretty good even in reverse melt
tho idk if wrio will be great for rev melt. i mean probs but

I can NOT beat the swarm lord on difficulty III for some reason. I keep getting to phase 3 with different paths.
Might just need to level up Fu Xuan and Welt a bit more and find a different secondary dps.

I recommend Nihility if you have Kafka
ebon quartz
I do!
Kafka is my back up damage dealer just because she's my other other person besides Bladie who is maxed out.
glossy latch
Ye in that case go for Nihility 
Nihility should beat difficulty 3 pretty well
Something like
Kafka, Sampo, Serval and Natasha?
(Depending on Eidolons maybe switch out Serval or Sampo, could add a preservation unit in there as well)
ebon quartz
Nihility should beat difficulty 3 pretty well

runic ether

late canopy
The scariest part is that the "only using 5% of his power" joke kind of applies here
Since he misses out on dmg from his teammates, hydro reso, and/or his reaction dependent passive
Even on his own he's already going at a very comfortable pace
With the hardest part not being lack of dmg but accidentally dying in case he gets caught without droplets to heal off of when he needs to

glossy latch
Do we know what 4* are on Wriothesleys banner?
glossy latch
Any good?
runic ether
ehh
the banners should be wriothsley and venti
with the 4 stars being chongyun (p decent but not for wrio), dori (a character who still has no home in any team), and thoma (great character but mostly in burgeon or if c6 great for hu tao)
chongyun is cryo claymore that infuses your character's normal attacks with cryo
glossy latch
I see
runic ether
dori is an electro claymore battery/healer
thoma is a pyro polearm shielder and pyro applier
glossy latch
So basically, roll a bit on Neuvilette for the 4* and build pity and try to get Wriothesley fast
runic ether
yes
the 4 stars in banners are usually a lot better for the characters they run with
like
neuvillette will want fischl
hu tao wants xingqiu and diona is good for either character
wrio banner really just thoma is good for him somewhat
dori is probably the worst character in genshin
no fault of her own
glossy latch
Damn
runic ether
shes just outclassed
her healing isnt as good as kuki's
her electro application isnt as good as fischl
so she falls in an awkward spot
runic ether
she is supposed to be like
heals + particle generation to make sure your electro/non-electro characters get a ton of energy to burst consistently
problem: fischl does the battery as well
glossy latch
Oh thats what those are
runic ether
if we add 5 stars in the mix, yae miko and raiden also produce a ton of energy if built to do so
but unlike either of them, dori can't be an on-field dps
so her most accurate comparison is kuki
kuki is also a 4 star electro healer
but kuki's healing is solid and her particle and electro application are top tier
these things used to be useless before dendro came out
but now that it is, then yeah dori just kinda doesnt do much
the baffling part of dori is that she came out during sumeru and dendro so they had ample time to make sure she had a niche compared to kuki or fischl
glossy latch
Huh
Alright, 2 weeks left on Neuvilette
Guess Ill have to consider farming up some rolls in that time
runic ether
btw if u do get thoma i think hed be a solid addition to your account. you only have noelle as a shielder right?
glossy latch
... wait why do I randomly have an active teleporter near Fontaine?
runic ether
hm
glossy latch
Isnt uh
runic ether
can u show where?
glossy latch
The ice catgirl a shielder?
glossy latch
Realm of Farakhert apparently
runic ether
i havent used diona's actual shield in ages since i have used her entirely to funnel energy into ayaka
oh
thats a sumeru area
can you teleport to it?
glossy latch
Yep
runic ether
might be for ease of access to get to fontaine and do the fontaine events rn
only one i can think of you can do is the underwater tidalga collecting event
maybe it was available for the free bennett in 4.0
glossy latch
Yeah probably that
glossy latch
Apparently I can do Radivant Harvest?
runic ether
yeah thats fine
its free stuff
tho make sure to get fontaine's statue
cus if u dont u will drown in fontaine
glossy latch
The event requires that anyway lmao
runic ether
okay that makes sense
just making sure cus itd be really funny if it didnt tell u that
runic ether
The ice catgirl a shielder?
anyways
on to this
thoma's shield is actually good
diona's shield is relatively weak
she makes up for it by having healing and battery
thoma's shield is actually fat
iirc 3rd best shield in the entire game
thoma can also stack his shield
its what makes him great for applying pyro and generating pyro particles
most teams doesnt particularly care about this
but hu tao, arguably wriosthley, and burgeon teams care
wriothsley will be weird
he will be really good for sure
but im still not sure what to make of his teams yet
freeze is easy and obvious
xingqiu is great, diona can provide energy and the slight shield + xq rainswords should be enough to make sure you arent interrupted
last teammate can be anemo or fischl for even more energy for the team?
could do weird vape-melt with thoma but then thoma has energy issues and you have a ton of redundancy
with a full account wriothsley's teammates become obvious
wrio/shenhe/xq/kazuha
or could do mono-cryo with wrio/shenhe/diona or layla/kazuha
could do ganyu in place of any shielding or healing
in any case, this will be a problem for future me to figure out. im not pullling for wrio this time around. and maybe not until after i get shenhe whenever she inevitably comes around
glossy latch
Shenhe?
runic ether
hm
basically
a 5 star bennett but exclusive to cryo
she can make diona a cryo dps that can do absurd damage
but she only buffs cryo
cryo also gets its resonance bonus giving bonus crit rate
and cryo also gets one of the most powerful artifact sets in blizzard strayer
so like wriothsley is in good hands for a developed account
in freeze/mono-cryo, he could build like 20 crit rate and still land every crit due to blizzard strayer, cryo resonance, and shenhe
outside of these teams, wriothsley can use marechuesse hunter insanely well and that gives 36% crit rate
thanks to cryo resonance, thats net 51%
so even if he doesnt care about freezing or mono-cryo, shenhe would still allow him to do absurd damage
as for her character, shes ganyu's adopted sister, maybe chongyun's aunt, and by lore shes ridiculously strong physically
her outfit is ridiculous but then again so is ganyu and the person who raised them both is basically bayonetta so the outfits then make a bit of sense
still ridiculous
glossy latch
Alright, did the event as much as was unlocked (yet)
Any idea roughly how many rolls you get from the story?
runic ether
u get a lot more from opening treasure chests and completing statues of the seven and the sigil shops/sinks
runic ether
yup
from inazuma onward
the sigils wont be redeemed in the souvenir shop until you finish the region's important sigil sink
in inazuma its the sacred sakura which gives u a ton of stuff
in sumeru its the onion idr the name
in fontaine its the fountain in front of the opera epiclese
it has wishes
runic ether
20 standard pulls
10 limited wish pulls
for maxing out the sacred sakura
the same for the others iirc
tho we cant complete fontaine's yet
glossy latch
Got it
versed pawn
in sumeru its the onion idr the name
No matter what it is f that and everything that is tied to that quest
runic ether
wtf
the aranara are cute
also 4/5 weapons that u can get the craft recipe for from them are insanely good
only the bow kinda sucks
runic ether
seems furina's hydro app is about as fast as kokomi
that being said, she enables any on-fielder to use marechausse
i got the team
tao + furina + xq + protoype amber sucrose
mystic python
Not sure if that's gonna be the play, Furina eats ~37% of everyone's HP per 20s, which Proto Amber can't really cover, and her drain which fuels the dmg% buff only takes from chars with 50% or more HP
runic ether
jean time
wait
wait
jean is actually who im looking for to pair with furina and tao
no fucking shot
also this abyss is really not friendly to candace on either side
i gave up and did my usual carry teams and cleared in seconds but candace will need to be brainstormed
guessing for jean i go around 180 er
fav sword?
er/anemo/crit rate
late canopy
I haven't looked into Jean but I have added quick build guides for every character in this channels pinned comment, which is something I like to look at real quick if building someone I've never looked into before
runic ether
oh nice
i mean i do just check keqingmains for builds and such
but nice to have another source
also i was mostly thinking to go the stock build cus that should be good for her dmg since im not gonna do sunfire
old galleon
I haven't looked into Jean but I have added quick build guides for every charact...
reminded me i needed to add hsr's equivalent to my pin lol
mystic python
Poor fish was made to facetank the gravity machine and the icewind dancers
runic ether
i played haitham hb so i just dont doge
*dodge
its more damage this way to face tank and have kuki heal it off
my raiden only peaked about 100k damage this abyss tho since i messed up her artis trying to clear with candace
oh neat my xq is now top 2%
mystic python
Ah I didn't use non-EM Raiden this abyss, she's usually top damage for me as well
Think the Ganyu hit was just on a random pyro slime since I usually always play freeze, not melt
mystic python
Also o no you have discovered Akasha I'm guessing
o the defeats are enemies killed
runic ether
i have discovered it ages ago
ah okay i was confused
cus i was p sure candace died more times than xq
mystic python
I didn't even use Yae in floor 12 so no way she died
runic ether
should really say most enemies defeated or something
mystic python
Fischl gonna be replaced with Furina when she comes around
Mono hydro is very fun because of how little thinking is required
mystic python
Can always rely on hyperbloom and insert national variant here
runic ether
yup lol
i had a super scuffed yelan cus shes on a specialed double hydro build
im using first great magic on her
as a single hydro
and sub 160% er
mystic python
Reverse of my situation lol, mine's built as solo hydro but I don't bother changing anything even if she's with other hydro users
runic ether
c1 is the only reason she worked
mystic python
That one does fix the ER issues pretty handily
runic ether
and luckily i had tossed fav on nahida so i didnt have energy issues
it is weird tho i wonder what happened cus im really used to yelan or xq being the highest damage characters in abyss runs
i think my dps peak so far was yelan hitting for 150k in a single hit or so
mystic python
Could use her on the Raiden side and set up a double E vape
runic ether
i think it was a vape that caused that
but yeah in either case my next abyss clear will be candace
i just gotta figure out how and where
runic ether
i was trying mono hydro 2nd half and it just didnt really have the oomph needed
tried 1st half and she just fell behind on time
may need to actually invest in her artis to clear this with her
mystic python
Or hyperbloom tbh; I always do at least 1 cycle of each abyss with Ganyu and was considering just sticking her in hyperbloom
runic ether
i think burnmelt could be decent this abyss
might try that
i did it floor 10
oh i think i know how im clearing 2nd half with candace
mystic python
Mayhaps; would actually make use of the Wanderer's Troupe stuff I farmed so long for even tho I almost never play melt
runic ether
gonna have candace bennett duo
surely
surely it clears
dps em bennett sharing field time with candace on fav just to be sure on er needs
ah fuck but the dogs
hmmm it may still be enough
mystic python
I have 0 ability to estimate Candace damage but maybe she can just kill them fast enough
The DPS checks are a bit big on second half
runic ether
might have to be a trio so that sucrose can em share
late canopy
Spawning on opposite ends of the room kind of nasty
runic ether
ah the abyss mages were fine
just go to an edge and they tp to u and candace burst wins
but idt bennett and candace with sucrose dps check the dancers
coppelia
late canopy
Oh I thought you were talking about the fatui girls instead of that dancer
runic ether
least not with my investments/levels
oh nah the fatui agents
i think i could beat them?
runic ether
might take this to 1st half

Apparently there is an Ereshkigal banner for FGO NA
...i know what I'm going to do today
copper steppe
thank god i already have her
astral drift
The bait got me good
summer hornet
NO REGRETS
But for real, I've spent a lot more than 1000 SQ on her between banners
Long overdue
ebon quartz
Soon™️ I'll have Fu Xuan maxed.
Then gonna work on Lynx and I'll have 2 and a half teams ready to go.
summer hornet
Eyyyyyy
old galleon
i only recently got to eq4 so i still have a long way to go
still debating between lynx/natasha/bailu for my 2 healers
i'm pretty sure i'll be taking lynx as one of them tho, she's great even at e0
old galleon
returning to this exp farming comp
iirc it works against everything except assassins
summer hornet
Didn't want to use the lores? Or just don't have any available rn?
Also lmao did you roll for Eresh too
old galleon
Didn't want to use the lores? Or just don't have any available rn?
all of habetrot's relevant skills are 10
so her battery and her mana loading
old galleon
Also lmao did you roll for Eresh too
the actual reason i posted the screen was to flex her, so
i got her within 90 effective quartz so it didn't hit too hard
summer hornet
lol you could've just posted it, no need to go the long way around for a roll result
I'm impressed, mind
but still
old galleon
lol you could've just posted it, no need to go the long way around for a roll re...
but that's no fun
it's more amusing to me when i'm subtle about it and someone picks up on it
ebon quartz
So I'm thinking for team 1
Bladie
Bronya (if I ever get her!)/flex dps
Welt/Pela as debuffer
Lynx
Team 2
Fireblazer
March 7th
Flex dps
Fu Xuan
Team 3
Kafka
Sampo
Luka
Fu Xuan or Nat
glossy latch
This is where I would put my Bronya
If I had one
Team 2 looks to me like it has too many tanks tbh?
runic ether
team 2 def has too many tanks
fu xuan and fireblazer do a great job together
march is overkill
ebon quartz
Well the idea is Fireblazer puts shield and March counter attacks everything like a mini Clara ult.
I think the idea is sound?
Especially with maybe Clara to just keep chaining counter attacks?
And Nat for spot healing?
runic ether
u would want a dps there still
fu xuan heals on ult
fireblazer and fu xuan is already overkill sustain
march would then not do enough damage like svarog does
especially if shes unbuffed
old galleon
march can also shield herself so even if you're wanting to do march dps, fmc seems redundant
copper steppe
i use fire trailblazer and gepard to get 1 morbillion shield
glossy latch
Well the idea is Fireblazer puts shield and March counter attacks everything lik...
Even with the E4 she doesnt do that much damage
Id even consider March, Clara, Tingyun and Fu Xuan over that
(Fu Xuan is a bit iffy since she is preservation tbh)
runic ether
if ur running clara u would wanna do fu xuan and lynx since lynx can boost the target towards clara and fu xuan will actually keep tingyun alive
glossy latch
You think Lynx is better than March in that scenario?
... I guess Lynx has lower natural aggro huh
Plus E4 is really good for Clara
Damn I really need Lynx >.>
old galleon
lynx is a better clara support than march imo
runic ether
and unfort, shes not gonna be a free character option from the upcoming belobog event
that will be pela, serval, luka, and sampo iirc
glossy latch
Huh, I only have one option I dont have E6 of yet lmao
old galleon
i'll take my free serval eidolon then
glossy latch
Really annoys me that I cant get Lynx >.>
runic ether
she will be given for free eventually
glossy latch
Tbh Im not sure E0 Lynx is better than E4 march anyway
Plus my plan for Clara eventually makes March better since she has a followup attack
runic ether
e1 lynx is where its almost strictly better
glossy latch
What does E1 do again
glossy latch
Likewise
runic ether
e2 gives u additional debuff resist
glossy latch
I see
glossy latch
... another Pela >.>
Im not even sure I can scrounge together 10 rolls by the time the banner ends
... ok so I got mad and cashed in the 10 rolls from stardust
... 1 more Pela and 1 more Hook >.>
I literally E6d both of them before I got 1 Lynx
I am mad
runic ether
rolling 4 stars is something in hoyo games
long tree
Heart goes out to that one guy who C6'd the banners 5 star without getting kaveh
runic ether
i know genshin streamer and content creator zy0x c6'ed kazuha before getting c6 heizou or some other 4 star
glossy latch
At least Ive got an E6 support now ig
Even though idk how much Pelas E6 matters for her support build
runic ether
both pela and hook have good e6's at least and having e6 means its a p strong investment into them
glossy latch
I know its not the worst thing
But I have an E1 Clara
I could really use Lynx >.>
Ill probably do single rolls until the banner ends just trying to get a Lynx
ebon quartz
huh if I get Luka to e6 I can use him as a debuffer.
ebon quartz
oh huh I thought it was his e6 for some reason.
summer hornet
I see him as more DoT damage?
ebon quartz
It's just a trace, huh?
summer hornet
I didn't even know he had debuffs
runic ether
well some of the furina leaks are showing that her c2 isnt really all that insane for her to be an on-fielder

i just found out that in fsr chiemon is voice acted by nobuhiko okamoto

Well shit ig I'm going back to genshin

Good for him
old galleon
genshin returning to its otome game roots : ^)
late canopy
Not inaccurate considering this whole patch is men patch
runic ether
its been men after men for the past patch
late canopy
I've been mostly active in a genshin friend group server consisting mostly of girls for a long time
runic ether
ah
late canopy
Being around them has influenced me so much that I'm getting more hyped for the men these days in Genshin more than waifus
runic ether
lol
old galleon
waifus are nice, but most of the gachas are oversaturated with them
so of course men are hype
runic ether
i can imagine how they were when haitham was revealed
late canopy
Yes
glossy latch
I mean looking in from the outside Genshin seems to have more husbandos than waifus
glossy latch
... I guess star rail does too huh
runic ether
~~I mean looking in from the outside Genshin seems to have more husbandos than w...
men are outnumbered still in genshin
late canopy
Ya iirc they've only just achieved 1:1
Or very close to it
Thanks to the men influx recently
summer hornet
waifus are nice, but most of the gachas are oversaturated with them
This so much
late canopy
I think besides Alhaitham the one I've seen them lose their minds over the most is Wanderer
Everyone ADORES him
late canopy
runic ether
varkas?
late canopy
If they ever decide to go there
old galleon
we already have traveler and wanderer, so now we clearly need adventurer and explorer
runic ether
i thought he was cryo but idk how
late canopy
Feels like a matter of time for him
old galleon
tall anemo male could be one of those : ^)
late canopy
There have been so many people
runic ether
wanderer thirst is big
late canopy
Trying their best to name him some variation of "Baby Boy"
runic ether
i was gonna name him scarabussy but i was told bussy is banned
old galleon
a gacha character whose name you can change?
glossy latch
Again, bit surprised his design doesnt look that special
runic ether
so i just named him the amogus symbol
glossy latch
And he looks kinda young
runic ether
hes an adult dw
old galleon
what is his design anyway?
late canopy
I like him but honestly don't quite understand it myself to those high high hype levels
runic ether
I like him but honestly don't quite understand it myself to those high high hype...
its the cocky asshole type
hes also very much not your friend
glossy latch
I mean I assumed he was of age
late canopy
He's like the guy who's "I attone for what I've done but I'm still an asshole"
runic ether
very different to other characters who will warm up to u whereas he will remain an ass the entire time
glossy latch
Just that he looks young
runic ether
ya
there are actual children in genshin so i get the confusion
iirc tho none of the boys even the short male models are underage
old galleon
bennett's of age?
runic ether
yep
late canopy
Ya the models make genshin characters a bit restrictive
Like
When Itto was revealed
Everyone was super hyped for actual beefcake finally
runic ether
late canopy
But then he just looks like reagular male with slightly more muscle
And drawn on abs
runic ether
dw there will be an actual huge male madel
*model
coming down the line
but not yet
late canopy
That would be nice
runic ether
p sure varkas capitano and pierro will use it
glossy latch
Ah, I see Genshin has the same issue as Star Rail
runic ether
its the uh
glossy latch
Except Star Rail does have Svarog techncially~
runic ether
the asian beauty standard
late canopy
Bishonen
runic ether
yea thats the term i have heard
haitham was also a character that should have been way bigger based on his art
runic ether
oh yeah same
late canopy
I buy Al Haitham being the "slender musclely" type
Itto definitely seemed like he was supposed to be much bigger
runic ether
i went ahead and got lofi by accident when nabbing him
and hes the 5 star i had the easiest time getting
so much so i got him c1 in one pull
not that his c1 is insane but its like
cool
runic ether
guess i main u now
late canopy
My luck in this game has always been insane
I've gotten double 5* pulls three times now
runic ether
im on 2 times now
late canopy
runic ether
happened with haitham
runic ether
and then i got yelan and dehya back to back so i got her c1
hm thinking about it
im surprised that more girls dont thirst over ayato
runic ether
yea for sure
