Hmm, I think I messed something up. My Jinglu only has 21% crit rate before her passive kicks in. I was wanting to get it to 50.
ebon quartz
Could be my light cone, I don't have any good destruction ones besides Blades.
runic ether
her personal gives cdmg
idt any destruction cone gives universal crit rate
also 71% crit rate is not bad but yea u can def raise that
late canopy
Go get em
Damn actually reading the thread
It might've just been an edit
Cuz some people say they tried but the boss just teleported back
Guess it makes sense since it was posted to Genshin Memepact
ebon quartz
Yeah I really want to get her as close to 50 as I can, but I ran out of juice for farming lmao.
idle grove
ebon quartz
Hmm, I suppose Yukongs ult can get me the last bit of crit I need. Or close enough to it.

Rad art for the XDU crossover
I’m a little surprised their seemingly using the edgy depressed AU version of Hibiki for it
Maybe not
Yeah nvm it’s prime Hibiki
ebon quartz
oh nevermind
Her skill hit 60k ._.
ebon quartz
WHAT THE FUCK
runic ether
walking down the path of destruction i see
runic ether
*oh nevermind*
Her skill hit 60k ._.
shes absolutely an absurd character
bronya can have her easily hit 100-160k skills vs single target
ebon quartz
Jesus
I'm really enjoying the Jinglu/Blade synergy.
And I have both of their cones.
Until I get Bronya I might just stick with Tingyun because I already have her closer to max, and save up for Luocha rerun whenever that is.
But I fucking LOVE triggering Blades passive more.
runic ether
yea i am honestly gonna be interested to see if we get a dedicated life draining support
quantum and dan heng il are gonna get hanabi/sparkle as dedicated skill point support, pela/sw/bronya/tingyun exist as support for jingliu
blade is somewhat missing someone
bronya and yukong (pela and sw) are the only supports that do work with blade in a sense
ebon quartz
I think Lynx or Luocha is as close as we'll get.
Lynx increasing max hp and aggro, and Luocha offsetting the hp drain.
runic ether
maybe but it would be a shame imo
i guess i can see it being too insane to give blade
jingliu's damage
- a support that buffs hp/life drains
and still has bronya access
ebon quartz
Blade is already the most afk friendly character I think and can 1v5 most things if you're smart and have him geared.
runic ether
oh yeah for sure
blade doesnt has the highest damage of the 5 meta carries but he is immortal
under the right conditions
ebon quartz
And his damage isn't anything to look over imo.
He was my main dps for ages, pretty quickly replacing Seele.
runic ether
ye hes top 5 for a reason
seele has higher peaks in some content
blade has immortality and consistency
his closest comparison is qingque in the top 5 they are both hyperconsistent damage dealers
ebon quartz
I view him as having a bit of damage trade off for sheer unkillability and slipping nicely into both a tank and dps spot similar to maybe Clara but easier to trigger.
And his passive is fucking INSANE.
ebon quartz
I was using a friends Luocha with Blade, Jinglu, and Kafka (because Tingyun isn't 80 yet) for Pantiyla and I had more sp than I knew what to do with.
runic ether
the skill point efficiency of them is what keeps them close to daniel and e4/5 qq
e6 qq becomes efficient like them and consistent (arguably best dps/sub dps atm?) but hanabi/sparkle will fix that and im hoping that it doesnt end up hurting balance
for clarity: hanabi fixes daniel's skill point hunger and buffs his dps extremely well too
oh hm e6 hanya will be the 1st chance to fix that and shes gonna run with silver wolf
welllllll i may actually go for e4 silver wolf
summer hornet
What's Hanabi's deal again?
runic ether
shes silly
summer hornet
No not the character, I mean the kit
runic ether
yea it silly
super tldr
her e is bronya except she buffs hp based on her atk
err
her skill is bronya skill
her ult regenerates a fuck ton of skill points and any that go over 5 are added as temp skill points and applies a joke(?) status on allies
whenever an ally triggers her talent through using sp while they have the status, they gain a damage bonus
when an ally launches an attack and sp is consumed, she buffs their damage
summer hornet
Oh that's beautiful
runic ether
without exact numbers, she is broken in theory
with exact numbers, she has a high chance she is at least as good as bronya
her ult would need to be insanely unreachable to be bad
her skill would need to be 2 sp to be worse than bronya's rather than just as good or if not better in some teams
she is quantum
so she completes mono quantum without needing 2 supports or 2 dps
most importantly, shes ||the masked fool's silliest soldier. fighting the silliest battles||
ebon quartz
sigh
I want to save for Luocha but I really want Guinafei or however you spell it.
I need more fire characters.

I just realized my go to team for the foreseeable future in star rail is going to be 3 undead and a small child who crams sardines down your throat.

The world building, writing and creativeness are there... Except the gameplay is the most generic shit ever

Genshin Livestream postponed from og time of a few hours later
Suspecting cuz of this:

I need to fine tune her better and get that juicy 100% crit rate.
But I almost have her maxed out trace wise.

Skipped over the promotion to dirt and went straight to worm, not bad
summer hornet
Well, what do you know? I was mainly rolling for Guinafen, but I guess I’d done enough rolls between Dan Heng IL and Jingliu to get another 5-star
Any idea what light cones are best for Topaz?
runic ether
the herta shop
also swordplay and dan heng's 4 star cone
dont farm much for her relics
there is a follow up attack relic coming next patch i believe
2 pc fire 2pc messenger or 2pc fire 2 pc wild or 2 pc wild 2 pc messenger or 4 pc messenger are all fine on her for now
summer hornet
Sounds good!
runic ether
shes not really a hypercarry but she does well with another follow up attacker
ie: clara
jing juan
herta and himeko i guess
she can be played solo but lining her and numby up is a bit tough as a hypercarry
summer hornet
Yeah, she seems like she benefits from other follow ups
runic ether
she can be her own follow ups but that requires a ton of speed
summer hornet
Is March a decent teammate, or is she too slow?
glossy latch
Fingers crossed I get the 50/50 on Topaz (once I get enough rolls)
glossy latch
Is March a decent teammate, or is she too slow?
Only if you have Clara Id say
runic ether
Is March a decent teammate, or is she too slow?
u can build her with a lot of speed
also if u do run her with clara shes fine
clara wants lynx now more than march but march is serviceable especially with topaz
long tree
Any reason to roll 10 at a time instead of 1 by 1 in Star Rail?
Time management
glossy latch
I swear Ill hit pity again on Topaz
runic ether
Any reason to roll 10 at a time instead of 1 by 1 in Star Rail?
yes
guaranteed 4 star means u can high roll some
like it can batch a few different pities since the chance for a specific 4 star is also on pity timer
glossy latch
But nothing for 5*?
glossy latch
Gotcha
runic ether
10 rolls to get to pity
singles if you wanna be safe
this is for guarantees though
imo
if you dont have a guarantee, the 10 roll can be p much the same
glossy latch
Im just too lazy to wait lmao
Im trying to get Topaz
Not lazy
Impatient
Partially because I can then get another standard 10 roll
idle grove
all I can think of is the HSR ad with the random streamer going "Oh my god Himiko is so pretty here"
summer hornet
I’m so grateful that I’ve yet to experience HSR ads
They sound absolutely horrendous
glossy latch
I wouldve even taken any of the other 5* I dont have yet
idle grove
They feel AI generated in how basic they are
like one of them is in luofu but talks about the game like it's their first time playing
slow raft
i love the combat, the animations are amazing, this game is awesome
glossy latch
And not only did I get a 5* I already have meaning I cant get more standard tickets
But its also a unit that is both A, bad, and B, doesnt get that much from her E1
summer hornet
Appreciate your Himeko 
glossy latch
No >:[
runic ether
But its also a unit that is both A, bad, and B, doesnt get that much from her E1
hey shes not bad
shes just not hitting the top tier dps picks in all content
glossy latch
Isnt the issue that she is basically all AoE in a game where you dont really need AoE?
runic ether
same deal with herta yea
its not even that u dont really need aoe
its that most of the current hard content isnt tailored to aoe
outside of some swarm disaster modes
old galleon
i would fully expect harder content to tailor to aoe in the future
seems like a natural progression
glossy latch
And for Swarm Disaster Himekos element is not great
Oh well
No idea if I can get Topaz now though unless I get super lucky
runic ether
yea i dont think they will let himeko and herta and the erudition path as a whole feeling mid as fuck for long
only qingque is actually super strong from that path
idle grove
still have mixed feelings on r:1999 after playing it for a day or so
story feels very esoteric and hard to actually involve yourself in, and not a good kind of esoteric either
VA work is great when it is and alright other times
visually though the game is very pleasant to look at, but I don't think that can carry the game. Kind of hope it grabs my interest again soon or it'll just get dropped
runic ether
oh also hoyo so far in genshin does go back and give incidental buffs to older characters
keqing and lisa were not considered great when genshin launched
keqing was just not good and lisa only found a tiny niche as a def shredder that could hold thrilling tales
and then dendro launched and both are now top tier units in various dendro teams
same thing happened with razor though he was waiting for hyperbloom and units like candace to have him be more consistent
geo is about to get a huge buff in navia and chiori being new characters that should do a lot for geo
glossy latch
Debatably thats what Topaz is for Himeko but yknow
I dont have her
At least I got Guinaifen, though only E2
runic ether
thats a bigger buff to your account than topaz
im mostly joking
topaz is solid
but shes not the erudition/follow up savior
thats the follow up attack artifact set coming next patch
glossy latch
... there is one?
runic ether
next patch
runic ether
1.5 is coming with huohuo, wind abundance that heals a character for a lot and then allies around them for a little
and an ult that charges ult on the other party members by a lot with a damage buff and a bit of healing
i believe there will be a free abundance cone in an event in 1st half
2nd half will be argenti, a new solid but still not actually breaking any dps peaks erudition character that will basically be physical jing yuan in terms of damage
along with a silver wolf rerun
and they will run with hanya
a "skill point efficient" support
(they nerfed her)
shes still gonna be good as a physical harmony
with a focus on fucking over one single enemy and speeding up your team + damage
there will be 2 artifact sets next patch too
one will be for fua
here we are
the 2 new sets
dot set and fua set
glossy latch
The DoT set looks really good on at least half the DoT characters
runic ether
its not so far ahead from the physical set but its a significant enough upgrade
glossy latch
Gotcha
Well I guess I now have a guarantee for whichever character I want next I guess
versed pawn
Are the furina banner 4* known?
runic ether
yes
glossy latch
Also I dont know when Guinaifen becomes better than Luka (As in at what Eidolon) so I am kinda just leaving her for now
runic ether
nothing confirmed though iirc
versed pawn
Like I gonna pull probably anyway since next 5* is guaranteed
versed pawn
Just wanna know of there's 4* too look out for
runic ether
i have her guaranteed now unless i somehow manage to go to pity twice
and yeah beidou is super fucking nice
and as u get beidou cons, she becomes better and better
versed pawn
Ye I have a c1 so kinda woundt be bad
runic ether
c2 really helps her pop off
versed pawn
Chance sucrose shows up in next shop rotstio.
runic ether
c3-6 are just straight up upgrades
glossy latch
Ive got Luka at E6 and I do kinda like him
versed pawn
Sadge
runic ether
luka will still be very solid in a lot of situations
and there is bound to be content where u will want luka/gwen/kafka/x
versed pawn
New event is fun but kinda not what expected tho
glossy latch
Either way, I guess now its just a case of "waiting for penacony"
versed pawn
Waiting for huo huo now since I have enough dps chars
runic ether
i am considering huohuo
versed pawn
Probably mainly focus on buffers and healers now
runic ether
but i would also consider luocha if he does end up with a 1.6 rerun
but id be in trouble if 1.6 really will be hanabi
hanabi is bronya 2
glossy latch
I know Luocha is broken but he just seems so boring to me
runic ether
u dont pull him for his gameplay
runic ether
hanabi is better for blade since she buffs hp
but since jingliu likes the quantum set a lot, hanabi slots into mono quantum
the dilema continues
versed pawn
Huo huo Was a energy battery right
runic ether
team wide on ult
and has dmg
huohuo is very good
shes just not as skill efficient as the hahaha man
her dmg is also worse than his
and the pipsqueak
so shes not powercreeping any healing or anything either
besides nat
versed pawn
At the end of the day she's a support don't really care for dmg there
runic ether
but nat is still the only f2p healer
oh yeah of course
support damage isnt super needed
but it can come up
versed pawn
Still using nat tho and she heals just fine I think
runic ether
she does of course
but comparing nat to luocha and bailu even gets silly
and then huohuo now
shes looking sussier and sussier as time goes on
versed pawn
I guess
I actually run 4 PC healer set on her and I really like the set if u reach the 134 speed cap
summer hornet
At least you get her for free
versed pawn
Let's you do diffrent team rotations depending on content
runic ether
no yeah the best part of nat is that she is free
and her cleanse
but huohuo has cleanse on talent and ult
luocha also has cleanse
lynx has cleanse
fu xuan has cc resistance too actually
versed pawn
Maybe I try for Topaz
But sad I can't really build her until next big patch with new set
runic ether
i think topaz is a pretty easy skip unless u havent pulled for daniel, blade, jingliu, or kafka and have either seele or no interest in her
versed pawn
Ye I just random throw into it if I get I get I guess
runic ether
i get that
versed pawn
Still arkward to have the follow up attack set next patch
runic ether
yeaa its such a strange decision i think
like it makes farming for her so pointless
since her best set wont come out until next patch
versed pawn
Yep
Tho u can now farm her trace mats instead I guess
Ooh right i still wanna build break effect silver Wolf

It's such a shame too cause it's being really held back

because it's holding up the artsy look some of the translation is scuffed
also the story is the kind of artsy that tries to draw intrigue but fails

gameplay is fine though and visually it looks great

game play is brain-dead and carbon copy of other games

I can find you 20 gacha games that all have very similar gameplay anyway
I think my issue is it's like 7ds grand cross gameplay but without anything that made grand cross challenging
You can just click any cards and win in reverse 1999

I'm going to say that's a case of it being like 2 days old
You could have said the same about FGO when it was brand new and now there is actually very difficult content in the game
long tree
That's fair, I just don't find there to be any reason to actually play the game though, decent artstyle and settings aside
idle grove
well not every game is going to be for everyone
I wish the translations were a bit better though and the story was more engaging

most of the VAs are fine, it's the MCs I dislike though

I don't personally like them because of the "some voicelines sound good because you can't cringe at stuff you don't understand" line of logic

I think if you were fine with honkais weaker voice actors or played and didn't mind the English VAs for xb2, you'll do fine with English reverse 1999

look at gepard, a freeze immune ice-resistant enemy explode to jingliu

besides cocolia
theres 1 more

Only elites and 2 mobs

she doesnt need kafka
shes basically a 2nd silver wolf
not as strong debuff, but at base has higher natural damage and a different element break
glossy latch
Isnt she more Pela?
runic ether
silver wolf is a better comparison since they are both single target
shes not as strong as wolfie or pela since pela has aoe
and wont have the insane ability wolfie has

and in content where pela wont be amazing or u need the fire break, shes gonna shine

idle grove
this game does not have a friendly relationship with the idea of a coherent translation at times
old galleon
i think it's supposed to read a bit archaically
i don't really have a problem with that line in particular
more modernly it'd read something like "the flames of injustice have yet to burn.." or "the flames of injustice haven't yet burned..." or some other variant thereof
but i've seen 'are yet to...' as a construct before
as for 'on rainy days', that's probably intentional as a form of...i think counterpoint is the term?
on face, it just means "injustice isn't yet at the point that things are irredeemable"
if it's a rainy day and fire is still burning, then what hope is there?
that's probably the kind of meaning they're going for
glossy latch

but nope
glossy latch
Well moreso
His base form uses two weapons right?
... oh wait I guess you could do dagger/double sword
runic ether
mhm
his base form is a hydro bow
his skill turns his bow into 2 swords
and he transforms it into double-bladed sword/polearm
in a few attacks
his ult has different animations based on if he is in sword mode or bow mode but it does the same thing ultimately
a childe: foul legacy would be electro sword base form with foul legacy doing it how raiden does it but in reverse
for a period of time, you get the electro infusion and your sword(s) becomes a polearm and u get foul legacy form for a time
it could 100% work
also, childe's theme is the reason i actually stuck with genshin. the fight to an extent too. mondstat really hadnt grabbed me but i thought it was fun enough to play for a bit. liyue's story was p good overall and when u fought childe it felt like a real climax. especially with under-built characters and without a proper team comp cus u were just using an exploration theme before heading in
glossy latch
I find it very funny that the Fatui you see in the cutscene is an enemy model that doesnt show up in the fight
glossy latch
The stealthy assassin one
runic ether
yeah thats the pyro agent
i think they do show up
but idr if they show up in the post-childe fight
i think that one is just
glossy latch
||Aaaand the jade chamber is gone, wack||
runic ether
the electrohammer vanguards, the anemoboxer vanguards, the cryo and hydrogunner legionnaires
runic ether
oh yeah for sure
with a proper team comp
i can finish the weekly boss in about 1 minute
i do hope they eventually revisit the early boss fights in the game and add a higher difficulty with a revamped attack pattern
glossy latch
I mean Im still using anemo traveler alongside Kaeya, Xingliang and Beidou all at c0
runic ether
yea thats way more proper a team comp than i went into it with lol
i was on an exploration team for that fight
i believe i was on keqing, noelle, barbara, and geo traveler
or yanfei
long tree
Childe modern day be like "the traveller has a dendro user now, I better stay in snezhnaya or I'm finished ❗❗"
runic ether
nah
childe would 100% line up to get his ass whooped if he could continue enjoying the fight
we know from his voicelines that he regularly challenged his master to no avail many times
and even now he doesnt think he stands a chance against her but is willing to go at it again
long tree
He got that dog in him
runic ether
ppl dont like childe bc hes a big brained genius. they like him bc he has at most 5 iq
long tree
I do like childe, I just wish his cooldowns weren't so ass
runic ether
his cooldowns are not ass if you know how to play him
long tree
Oh do you just like rotate him early so his cooldowns are lower?
glossy latch
Im guessing we still dont know what the contracts details were?
runic ether
nope
runic ether
Oh do you just like rotate him early so his cooldowns are lower?
you are on a 6 normal attack timer or a 30s timer
you can weave charge attacks in
and you can end the cooldown early to get the skill back up by the time xiangling and bennett are done doing their rotations with kazuha/sucrose
it also gives you time to swirl hydro and pyro again for the vv shred
and then hes back online
and you just go again
long tree
I see, might pull for him then as I do quite like him
runic ether
if theres any difficulty to childe its playing him shield-less
the math is also already done for people
if your rotation is 19s, you on-field him for 7 seconds and his cd is only 12
if 24, 9 and cd is 15
if 30, 12 and 18
24s is the most comfortable rotation for most players
he also has a built-in clock to count this
his burst has a 15s cd
and his combo lines are simple too
n2c or n3c
if you are using rust, you can do n5c
long tree
I'm gonna have to learn all the optimal stuff for my units cause damn I didn't know people did all the math for it all (though in hindsight why wouldn't they of)
glossy latch
Yknow, for an ancient and wise god, ||Zhongli||sure is a dumbass
runic ether
he spent too long being childe's sugar baby and forgor how to mora
runic ether
Yknow, for an ancient and wise god, ||Zhongli||sure is a dumbass
fun fact: out of the seven archons, only one has double digit brain cells
i mostly kid
but yeah zhongli is not known for having thought ahead in that aspect. buuuut his archon quest kinda goes into it
err
story quest
his 2nd one in particular
spoilers ||hes literally going senile||
glossy latch
fun fact: out of the seven archons, only one has double digit brain cells
... is it Nahida?
runic ether
yes
glossy latch
I know Venti is a drunkard, Zhongli a bit of a dumbass and Furina a girlfailure
No idea on Raiden
runic ether
raiden is warrior female
if theres an enemy it must die
spoilers for her 2nd story quest ||instead of negotiating *with her own child? creation? she spent about 500 years in what amounts to a hyperbolic time chamber fighting her||
glossy latch
Also god, the fucking "Oh this character is involved in another quest" system
Sucks
runic ether
so glad they fixed that in the newer updates
quest suspension should have been retroactively added everywhere

speaking of
||its very trans of ei to have made a twink male puppet as a potential alternate form of hers. im surprised that wasnt revised at all given china.||
late canopy
||To be fair he was an experiment prototype with no intention of actually being used for her||
runic ether
||but also i would have been into it if it was scara as the main puppet and the shogun as the discarded one||
runic ether
||To be fair he was an experiment prototype with no intention of actually being ...
||oh yeah for sure. it was just funny to me that it kinda slipped past censorship or anything. i feel like that one could have been re-written more to not have such... queer subtext i guess? could have easily been more overt she was never going to pick a form like that.||
late canopy
||I think it wasn't thought of too much cuz it was pretty explicit she wasn't considering using him at all. I at least didn't draw the conclusion you did just now untill you brought it up just now. Probably would've been more talked about if she was thinking of him as a very real candidate||
runic ether
||i think its something u see more if ur queer i guess? it looks like it that way to me but it def doesnt look to be intentional. though hoyo isnt one to shy away from such topics from what i see though often its hidden through a lot more subtext.||
||dan heng and march are very like. common trans ppl tropes in and of themselves for instance in hsr.||
idk why i spoilered that one
that one has nothing to do with raiden
runic ether
tldr: march's color scheme is a big part of it but her light cone and her choosing a new name after going clean on her new life is trans coded
for daniel, its a lot more in your face
where he used to be someone else with a different name, but has literally shed that and is living a new life but the ghosts of his past use his dead name and are hunting him for who he was
late canopy
Ohoh I see
runic ether
both of these are very common trans tropes in queer media
not saying either character is trans but they are trans coded
glossy latch
So I was wondering why it felt like my characters are oddly weak
... I have not leveled up any talents yet
glossy latch
Kaeya and Xiangling
runic ether
i can give a brief breakdown on talent leveling
oh lol
level burst
then skill
thats it
save ur mats
their normals dont matter in most teams
and when they do, its bc u have c6 bennett or candace that infuses them with an element
glossy latch
Got it
runic ether
when u level the rizzler
its normal then skill
he actually uses normals
also rizz/kaeya/xiangling/bennett is likely ur team then? at least for later
runic ether
he will come home inshallah
also hes in the shop in november
ik ppl compared tingyun to him when star rail released but hes closer to having bronya in your account
c1 bennett at least is literally bronya in terms of account strength
glossy latch
C1?
runic ether
constellation
runic ether
bennett always buffs and heals
c1 just makes it so he can do both to characters below
90%
glossy latch
I think if I grind stuff out I might get to the 50/50 on Wrios banner
Dunno if I wanna grind Genshin tho
runic ether
L making a +
aint no way
jesus
the rumors are
dr ratio and ruan mei are gonna be 1.6 part 1
glossy latch
I already forgot what Dr ratios kit is lmao
runic ether
part 2 will be screwllum + luocha
glossy latch
... are we on 1.4 or 1.5?
runic ether
1.4
going into 1.5
1.5 will be huohuo
then argenti + silver wolf with hanya
and shes the 4 star in 1.6
im curious about her being a quantum destruction
basically wondering if she will be better than qq in some content
qq is top 5 dps in the game
runic ether
also dr ratio's last kit leak was over 5 months ago
idt its reliable at this point
same for xueyi and ruan mei
last we knew of dr ratio was that he was imaginary erudition
but its clear hes hunt
glossy latch
Also yes we have so many imaginary characters
runic ether
it was the least populated element
so its fair
but they are all 5 stars lol
also 99% male
vs quantum
who has yet to receive a man in the roster
glossy latch
It was but now it feels like every other character is imaginary
Only 1 4* tho
It's also a bit odd since imaginary is a fairly rare weakness so far
No wait I'm wrong
Its not rare
runic ether
it will probably gear up in penacony in any case with imaginary trailblazer
glossy latch
It's just frontloaded
Most of the enemies weak to img are on Herta or Belobog
Hm, what's the least represented element now
It has to be physical right?
1 5*, though 3 4*
glossy latch
You forgot blade
runic ether
i did
glossy latch
It's 3 5 stars and 2 4 stars
runic ether
i was just about to mention it
glossy latch
Which is slightly more I'd say?
glossy latch
I forgot about Argenti
runic ether
hmmm
runic ether
ice has jingliu, gepard, yanqing, march, herta and upcoming ruan mei
glossy latch
Oh wait lightning has 2 at least
runic ether
lightning has tingyun, serval, bailu, jing yuan, kafka
fire has topaz, gwen, himeko, hook, asta
quantum has seele, qingque, fu xuan, wolfie, lynx, and upcoming xueyi and hanabi/sparkle
fire has trailblazer too
i forgot
imaginary has daniel, welt, yukong, luocha, and upcoming screwllum, dr ratio, and trailblazer
also if xueyi's kit survives she will still be worse than qq in a lot of scenarios bc of qq's raw self-buffs
thats somewhat impressive of qq
lowkey, i think qq is a character who can only improve if u have e6
hidden 5 star
hanabi is gonna be a strong upgrade to her and daniel
but for her, she can complete mono quantum
ill def get ahold of xueyi while i toss some rolls towards ruan mei
genshin conditioned me to pull supports
my next dps pull will be raiden
whichever of the 2 raidens
if sam is truly independent of firefly i may go for him but im def less inspired to do so
runic ether
theres a chance hes still cool even if firefly is tied to sam but like
idk
just killed a lot of hype for him
u know what tho
they reference sam as they exclusively
its so joever

that makes a bit more sense then

bronya and the new event
Which stage?
runic ether
last one

Ooo
I used rememberance and got full points on that one
Cause at rememberance blessing +9 the rememberance resonance turns from a freeze button to a kill switch
And anytime the enemy gets frozen they are as good as dead

October gacha revenue!
Looks like drier month for a lot of games with all the red
Reverse 1999 did pretty good for only being out five days or so, especially since I don't think this includes PC revenue

It doesn't help that reverse's best unit isn't on rate up

Still a combined 1+ million at the end of the month is really good

so UC engage being a gundam gacha interested me
but it is also a glorified autobattler
summer hornet
am I, whoo am I
old galleon
why does that look like a game from 2003
summer hornet
when you say autobattler- Arknights, Azur Lane, or something even beyond AL?
old galleon
tbf AL has manual play, it's just not worth in almost all cases
assuming you're running proper fleets/gear, everything except EX can be autoed
and even EX can be cheesed if you're willing to reset, i guess
summer hornet
treu true
I just couldn't think of anything more auto than AL off the top of my head, though I'm sure I've played at least one
long tree
You don't play Al for the gameplay
You play it for the characters personalities and the pre combat prep

i wonder if the ratio will save the hunt
we should be getting their kits and shit after 1.5 or shortly before

Is Hunt in that bad of a spot?
runic ether
the hunt is just seele atm
sus and daniel are okay but not hitting any real insane peaks
top ass is a great clara support
seele is top 5 dps in the game so shes find

everyone else is danIeL, blade, jingliu, and qingque
speaking if qingque, shes the only reason erudition is viable too
