It’s sinking in more and more that most of the alters in Arknights are just post-character development forms lmao
long tree
Isn't the exception skadi cause she's like almost a completely different take on the character
summer hornet
Nearl saves her city, Ch’en deals with everything in the main story, Kronos + Lava + Hibiscus all grow up, Texas returns to Siracusa, (Silence presumably takes care of Rhine Labs for good?)
Ngl I still haven’t finished that storyline either lol
idle grove
Isn't the exception skadi cause she's like almost a completely different take on...
I think that's a "well yes but no"
but I can't remember enough to say for sure
summer hornet
Looking on the wiki I think Jot is right
implication seems to be that Skadi Alter is a bad ending character
like some of the fantasy units in Granblue Fantasy

a lot of skins are too tbf

@glossy latch the domain trial for today lets u try out furina mika charlotte with wriothesley
glossy latch
Oh the new event?
runic ether
yep
glossy latch
Isnt 3 Cryo kinda overkill?
runic ether
nah u can choose
from among them including characters u own which can help u decide which to build between mika or charlotte
glossy latch
Ahhh
Tbh I think Mika is less good without C1 since it messes up the timing
At c0 you do N5 N5C usually

Just finished the Narzissenkreuz storyline
the writing since sumeru has only gotten better and better
unkempt orchid
the writing since sumeru has only gotten better and better
I will be real with you! I did NOT ||like the Narzissenkreuz confrontation||!
||The Primordial Sea itself was beautiful, but the way everyone spoke of Narzissenkreuz, only for him to look like Wanderer's gundam and then turn into a stinky water ball, did not match my expectations,,, I thought he'd look like a 'holier' version of Jakob or Enjou's true form but that did not look like someone who reached near-godlike status to me, and the battle itself was extremely underwhelming. I also really disliked the last Jakob fight because it had >default Fontaine battle music and he was a pushover to me, someone who hasn't touched a Domain in like a year||
glossy latch
The what storyline
runic ether
its a fontaine storyline
runic ether
I will be real with you! I did NOT ||like the Narzissenkreuz confrontation||!
||i do agree that part was just kinda whelming||
||though the rest of the story and plot was good||
unkempt orchid
||though the rest of the story and plot was good||
||For sure, also the 'finished' theme of the Narzissenkreuz Ordo w/ Mary-Ann's(?) singing had me tearing up||
runic ether
||it was so good for no reason||
||better than most of the arananara stuff||
i know ||people hate on paimon a lot but my hot take is that paimon is not enough. we need more funny little companions along with us on our journey||
unkempt orchid
||Semi-relatedly it made me check the Narzissenkreuz Ordo page and apparently I missed one of the songs from it?? https://youtu.be/pG8JvfqLq4g?si=UyyuHioLC2hAqO0p I never heard this version, only Dream Through the Looking-Glass which had bells||
unkempt orchid
||better than most of the arananara stuff||
||I never finished it, it burnt me out of the game the first time and I'm too scared to pick it back up||
unkempt orchid
i know ||people hate on paimon a lot but my hot take is that paimon is not enoug...
||Paimon is fine I just remember her being atrocious during Sumeru||
runic ether
||its actually good as a storyline. it just drags on for a long ass time||
unkempt orchid
I'm sure
unkempt orchid
||Paimon is fine I just remember her being atrocious during Sumeru||
To elaborate on this I'm referring to ||when she couldn't memorise like any Sumeru name whatsoever and how she outright refused specific food when eating everything is like her Thing. Apparently it was more of a localisation issue and it didn't sound as harsh in Chinese? But I wouldn't know.||
runic ether
||oh yeah she was annoying then||
||more notably she was just a lot more rude for no reason and didnt have as many mellow/cute moments to balance out||
unkempt orchid
||Yeh||

I love that they gave her the :3 face for no reason at all

@runic etherany mention yet of a Luocha rerun...?
Because I know silverwolf is soon and I kind of have to make a decision soon 
runic ether
none
our current banner order is in 1.5 will br huohuo in an extremely mid banner into 2nd half argenti and silver wolf with really good banners
1.6 will be ruan mei and dr ratio 1st half theorized and screwllum 2nd half theorized
no confirmed rerun for that
ebon quartz
Bleh okay,
runic ether
skipping jing yuan does not give a lot of hope for luocha though since his banner didnt sell very well too
they may do kafka in 1.7 and luocha in about 4 more months
or patches
not months
ebon quartz
So sounds like enough time to save for both... Got it.
runic ether
yeah unless they surprise use out of nowhere with luocha with screwllum or the 1.6 update comes up different
summer hornet
get all the Stellaron Hunters XD
glossy latch
Do we have any indication on Screwllums kit btw?
runic ether
I'll have 3/3 if I do!
u going for sam?
glossy latch
Is Yelan a limited character or standard banner?
unkempt orchid
Is Yelan a limited character or standard banner?
limited
Standard is like
Diluc, Jean, Keqing, uhm.
Qiqi, Dehya, Tighnari, er.
Mona
Yeah that's it
glossy latch
I see
runic ether
Is Yelan a limited character or standard banner?
limited yep
glossy latch
Just looking up some stuff for teamcomps
runic ether
dont get it wrong a lot of standard characters are pretty good
but yelan is xingqiu 2
glossy latch
I think Mona can work for Heizou
runic ether
they aint gonna let her be limited lol
glossy latch
Also man if only they made the threshold for Wrios enhanced CA 70%
I think for now Ill just pull for Arlecchino and wait for Alhaitham
runic ether
based
haitham is really good and hes such a cool character
i still find it kinda wild that hoyo ran an ad for genshin where they outright say that kaveh nags him like a wife
i will give u some bit of advice with haitham though as i have been playing him for
geez almost a year in february
gilded dream is his best artifact set for sure. 2pc gilded and 2pc wanderer's troupe is often more than enough though so dw about that
but
something i run into a lot of times with him is that i really have a lot of times where i actually struggle getting great crit ratios on him
not for a lack of trying
but bc he can stack cdmg well and he wants an em sands
and em sands can be fickle as fuck
i have a decent em sands
also he does want a fair bit of er
glossy latch
You want EM sands?
runic ether
yep
em/dendro/crit
hes a spread/quickbloom on-field carry
he can absolutely be the lone dendro in a team with a higher er requirement
he runs hyperbloom well too
he also does want quite a fair bit of investment into him
at least getting his talents to 8/8/8
since he uses his entire kit
that said, his weapons are very f2p friendly
iron sting is really good on him
in higher er requirements, u can do favonious sword
since he does not care about atk at all, it means utility swords in general can also be good
sapwood blade, iron sting, fav sword all work
important tech: his skill can be held to have him fly towards where he points but if you point it right to an enemy's feet and he will have a brief floating period where he can do a plunge attack from it and that lets his skill for no stamina, get a 3rd mirror
which is important. mirror uptime on haitham is a thing to keep track of since they clear when he leaves the field
if u do get him though i have been studying how to play him well for a while now so if u need help with it hit me up at the time. hes a lot of fun to play and can run a lot of different dendro teams
glossy latch
Gotcha gotcha

old galleon
reminder that izumo's puppet thingy is voiced by mafia kajita
since they're shwoing the free ce now, reminder that it's actually pretty good despite being split stat
50% starting gauge is more or less standard but it has anti-demonic
also a final reminder that this event requires heian-kyo to start
simple wind
THE 4TH TIER FORMS ARE REAAAAAAAAL
battle cats powercreep reaching a whole new level
old galleon
event starts at midnight pacific time on the 13th, so in a few hours (after maintenance presumably)
and yes, they did confirm that the event still requires heian-kyo to start
they're also hinting at a later event that requires avalon to start
||it's tunguska||
albert: some of the story is a bit difficult
understatement of the century
astral drift
i have yet to get the rng needed to 4t furball
old galleon
what are you running?
astral drift
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEfJceYo9nU
this but with black grail and crit command codes
old galleon
i'd probably recommend a 2 attacker setup of some kind if it helps with the rng a bit
astral drift
yeah i should probably just suck it up and do that
old galleon
that last turn seems really tight too
6 stacks with like 30k you need the extra attack to do
astral drift
if you got any 2 core comps with chloe lmk
old galleon
i think a lot of the 2 attacker setups are pretty similar
for first bar the most common ones i see are like scathach/enkidu, sanzang might work at higher np levels too
i ran this with both da vinci ccs on kagetora
my bg is mlb but if your chloe is higher level that might compensate
old galleon
i don't immediately remember if my tamamo survived to turn 4; if oberon can make it that far, then it might be possible, esp if you have bg
oberon should make it easier overall; i did this pre-oberon
astral drift
ogey I'll give this a try when I have time
old galleon
would suggest swapping chloe with scathach and using combat uniform for this kind of setup
the idea is to make sure chloe doesn't get hit with the seal on break and she'll retain the buffs from support castoria through turn 4 since she was in the back for a turn
mata hari is there very specifically as a cheap way to debuff his def
that's a bit rng, sometimes the def drops won't land, but they do help if they do
i'm also not sure i like oberon with the merciless one here
the thing about oberon as opposed to tamamo is that you actually want him to live
since you can't use his 3 except on the last turn of the fight, and if he's dead by then, you get 0 value out of it
as such i'd probably run something like volumen on him
simple wind
just remembered my favorite interaction in dragalia
runic ether
we only know the 5 stars
that being ayato and cyno
weapon banner will be haran and staff of scarlet sands
glossy latch
I see
Im debating if I pull on this banner or not
But I dont really see myself using Collei? And idk on Charlotte rn
runic ether
collei is very usable
glossy latch
Also I got C2 Collei already
runic ether
albeit, she does get a looot stronger with c2
lol
also another powerspike for her is having access to elegy for the end
venti's bow
which is just ok on venti
its actually bis for a ton of other support bow characters
glossy latch
Huh
I might just wait for the next 2 banners
And try Cyno or Ayatos banner
(No idea which one yet)
runic ether
ayato
if u do pull
reason: hes hydro
also lowkey if u do get him, between mona furina ayato and xingqiu, u will basically never need another hydro unit ever
though to be totally fair, i do think next patch's weapon banner is about as free to pull on as it gets
depends on 4 stars of course
but staff of scarlet sands and haran are both really solid generalist weapons
staff is one of the best polearms. haran is a really really good sword
glossy latch
I kinda think Ill skip weapon banners, at least for now
runic ether
yeah for sure. weapons are 100% skippable and are often prone to sucking ass
genshin gives u a ton of good swords f2p
having 5 star weapons is for drip mostly
if u do get ayato: inazuma's craftable sword is his bis from the f2p options
but iron sting is really really good if u are using him to vape
or burgeon i think
yeah for burgeon too
hmmm let me see
glossy latch
Tbh Im not sure Im going for Dendro teams any time soon
runic ether
they are absurdly easy to build once u do though
they require frankly really little investment to get a lot of damage out of them
anyhow
potential 4 stars to show up next patch
kuki shinobu, layla, xinyan, kirara
candace, kaveh, yun jin
maybe yaoyao heizou and xiangling?
glossy latch
Kuki I believe is a really good one for hyperbloom right?
runic ether
these are all 4 stars thave havent ran in a long while
runic ether
kuki is the preferred electro for hyperbloom yes
his cons are okay
mostly his c4 and c6
hard to recommend them when his c0 is more than enough
c4 xiangling is the peak of her power
kuki is also fine at c0
though c2-6 are all solid
xinyan is a different type of thoma
weaker shield but brings her own personal damage
ultimately making her kind of mid
layla is a shielder
the 2nd strongest shield in the entire game
she also brings solid personal damage and solid cryo app
kirara is another shield
but shes dendro
glossy latch
Cant say Im lacking in cryo characters tho lmao
runic ether
she works best when u can do quickswap
glossy latch
Actually lemme check rq
runic ether
i dont think u can do quickswap teams right now
glossy latch
I think Electro is the element I have the least characters for
glossy latch
Lisa and Beidou iirc
runic ether
oh right beidou
ur good
kuki would be nice for hyperbloom
but thats about all the electros u need
glossy latch
Also I realised that actually, I have the least geo characters
But there are also barely any to begin with
runic ether
yup
lol
hey
at least u now have the objective best one for dps now
thanks to furina, its noelle baby all the way
glossy latch
Oh and Dori for electro but that one is bad iirc
Neolle? I figured she was a defensive support
runic ether
dori is a character of all time
noelle is the best geo dps in the game atm
its not particularly close
it hinges on having furina
but if u do its a big gap
glossy latch
Also only 2 Dendros apparently, Yaoyao and Collei
runic ether
geo mc does well as the 4th slot
dendro is relatively rare
but yaoyao and collei are both good so its fine
yaoyao and collei can both help lisa play aggravate
glossy latch
Oh wait, apparently I dont own Sayu?
runic ether
or hyperbloom
glossy latch
Could've sworn I did
glossy latch
3 Anemo, 4 hydro, 4 pyro and 6 Cryo lmao
runic ether
lmao
i think when i 1st started i was swimming in electro and then suddenly i just got a bunch of cryo units back to back
yea iirc
glossy latch
Well helped that Wrio and one of the characters on his banner were both cryo
runic ether
in the noelle banner, i got fischl
glossy latch
Plus you start with a cryo
runic ether
fischl + xiangling + noelle
then, i went and pulled for raiden
i got her and c5 sara kujou
glossy latch
Were not expecting an Alhaitham rerun soon, right?
runic ether
and i think c3 heizou but while going for c1 raiden i got keqing
uhhh no sadly
he basically just ran 3 patches before fontaine
so hes not impossible to run soon-ish
but he did also run 2 times in the span of about 4 months
runic ether
he runs with yaoyao almost every time anyways
glossy latch
Shenhe iirc is good for cryo characters
runic ether
yeah shenhe is good
for wrio
its hard to recommend shenhe sometimes though since like
she is good with just cryo characters
like
u would be pulling for a character just to buff wrio
and kaeya technically
glossy latch
Bet
Hm, otherwise
Raiden Shogun seems interesting enough, Ayaka would be worth thinking about if she wasnt another Cryo
I know Kazuha is busted
runic ether
kazuha is busted but dont let the genshin community hear this
but sucrose and heizou are outright better in plenty of situations
they are equally as busted as he is
glossy latch
Yelan could be useful
runic ether
they just arent as fun for overworld
runic ether
yelan is a 2nd xq
glossy latch
But managing his skill cooldown is weird?
runic ether
which means she is broken
okay like actually speaking full facts
the only character that could remotely be considered "must pull" is nahida
strictly cus her dendro application is unmatched by the f2p options
glossy latch
So Ive heard
runic ether
kazuha has competition between sucrose and heizou
glossy latch
But tbh if Im gonna play a Dendro its probably Alhaitham just because he seems more fun
runic ether
yelan is just a 2nd xq
childe is just another hydro which while broken, means he is replacable by other options
ie: neuvillette or ayato
glossy latch
Cyno ... Im not sure I know anything about him beyond his puns
Hes an electro DPS iirc and has some issues with not lining up well with supports?
runic ether
no he lines up well with a lot
cyno's deal is that he just wants to go into 2 teams
spread
and quickbloom/hyperbloom
thats it
he is not great outside of this
some ppl cope and play him in electro-charged. but if ur doing that, its likely gonna be worse damage than going fischl beidou xq sucrose
glossy latch
Huh, looking over the list, ironically not a lot of characters I want that would fill a new niche
mystic python
no he lines up well with a lot
You basically have to cut him short or else he's just stuck doing only his own damage with noone else contributing for a few secs
runic ether
oh right. actually. cyno does have that issue
glossy latch
Alhaitham, Arlecchino in the future, maybe Ayato
glossy latch
Oh and Arataki Itto if it werent for his requirements
runic ether
that is the limiting factor of the supports he can run with
glossy latch
Iirc he basically needs a full geo team
glossy latch
Damn
Yeah guess Im just waiting for Arle and maybe building pity on Ayatos banner since I wouldnt mind getting him
(Really hope Arlecchino is fun to play)
runic ether
and yeah itto (and geo for the most part outside of noelle, yun jin and zhongli) are all extremely into geo and only geo
mystic python
Another for the Arlecchino waiting room gang
runic ether
arlecchino will definitely be fun to play
all the harbingers so far are pretty fun to play
wanderer with the whole flight thing
childe with the stance swapping
4.6
thats when she drops
glossy latch
Itd be easier if leaks actually told us her kit
runic ether
they refuse to do so
probably bc theres actually quite a bit of confusion in regards
glossy latch
I wanna know ahead of time if I should save up for constellations maybe
runic ether
for a while they were saying she was gonna be off-field
now they are saying on0field?
*on-field
with off-field stuff at c2
mystic python
With her this far out there's usually several concept kits internally, so when we do get kit leaks of characters this far out they usually end up pretty different to what actually comes out
runic ether
yeah thats true
mystic python
Shoutout to Nahida dendro mist field
runic ether
i remember when they were talking about baizhu around when i started genshin and it was all just
nonsense info all over
i actually cant think of the fontaine dps character leaks on their kits
i think i do remember hearing from very early that lyney was gonna be the strictly mono pyro guy
mystic python
Furina both on field and off field at C0 was a leak
runic ether
hey at least u can do on-field furina to fav sword particle funnel
thats what i did in my recent abyss clear lol
needed someone to drive yelan
may as well have been her on fav sword why not
runic ether
i generally did spend a lot of time between the 4 party members on field in the team
mona taking up most field time in the end i think since she got the most mileage out of the vv shred from jean
i did almost skill issue the 1st chamber of 2nd half cus i played with the dogs too long
glossy latch
Im just curious if Arlecchino gets the same stance-switching gimmick from Childe
Or a transformation of some kind
runic ether
well given that she was inspired by lady maria from bloodborne
i am almost certain she will have something along the lines of
my hope is that she dual wields polearms
the only tidbits we know of her kit will be that it does involve some form of resurrection
and of course, hp draining
mystic python
Would love if she goes sicko mode with her claws but idm anything really, actually don't have a pyro dps besides Xiangling so anything works for my account
glossy latch
That ... seems like a given, no?
mystic python
enable the funny c6 button on bennett
The ❗ stays until I learn if Capitano is phys or not
glossy latch
Shes Shneznayan
runic ether
no shes from fontaine
born there
but her vision was obtained in snezhnaya
which lines up with where u get it not where ur from
ie: thoma
hes from mondstat but his vision was obtained after he got to inazuma
so he got an inazuma vision
runic ether
The ❗ stays until I learn if Capitano is phys or not
oh fair
though i doubt it
they dont make those anymore
wait what if he is a phys character but cant use bennett at all
mystic python
There's a chance he's the bloodstained knight from the bloodstained artifact lore
glossy latch
Also isnt every Harbinger so far on-field?
mystic python
2 of 2 yea
mystic python
She's definitely off the field now
mystic python
Her being an off-fielder could be cute synergy with Lyney, but hard to imagine yea
runic ether
on the otherhand, she is definitely a figure that does not act directly often
her own alternate outfit from the story being a fatui pyro agent outfit
on top of the fact that she is well-versed in assassination work
means she may be a passive figure
mystic python
She will have the execute mechanic Ayaka had in beta
runic ether
her strength being above the child of the raiden shogun, the crimson witch of flames, and someone who has a shard of the foul and has his legacy and trained by skirk though? thats gonna be something
glossy latch
Id expect her to be a case of
"Rarely fights, but is devastating when she does"
So as a character that sounds more DPS-y to me?
runic ether
fontaine story spoilers ||she did technically have no qualms moving in to kill furina without reservation and only didnt bc she didnt detect the gnosis||
her level of confidence in that fontaine story spoiler should indicate that shes 100% no slouch
some leaks were saying she was gonna be a support for lyney
but again i dont think it was confirmed
glossy latch
Granted assassination-focused polearm user would overlap with that one nun
runic ether
rosaria
shes a nun only bc varka forced her too lol
basically: u need a job besides being creepy and killing ppl to keep mondstat safe
honestly the children varka rescued dont make sense on why they arent knights of favonious
paper spoke
I see
runic ether
could even just have rosaria be a knight of favonious but undercover
but did he somehow predict bennett's terrible luck? at least i think he was the one who discovered bennett
torn harbor
Decided to continue this
3 more to go
Abundance or propagation which should i do first?
runic ether
oh yeah btw this is the part where i tell u bennett lore is actually deep and interesting and somewhat important
the bad luck is a gag yes
but its got lore to it
runic ether
ah okay the kids we know varka rescues are rosaria and razor
with bennett being a maybe it was him
runic ether
Any of the story quests lmao
its not in his story quest
its mostly in his friendship lore
basically bennett was found as a baby abandoned in mare jivari
its a place near/in natlan where no wind flies. its considered a cursed land but bennett was alive there as a baby. this has led to a ton of theories about bennett and his bad luck
including but not limited to him being the potential pyro archon to being a resurrected phoenix to being a pyro dragon or that his bad luck only applies when he is away from natlan or that bennett is actually someone who isnt from teyvat at all
we can cross him off being the pyro archon since from what we know, its a she unless bennett has transitioned but the other theories are all still up there
the one im a bigger fan of is that bennett is at least of some relation to a descender
him being a descendant of a being not of teyvat makes me think his bad luck is teyvat rejecting him but his ancestry is too powerful to be denied all the way
glossy latch
Does bennetts burst heal off-fielders too?
mystic python
Nop, just who's physically in the circle
glossy latch
So with Furina youd need an additional healer then huh
mystic python
Ye, outside of wacky gameplay where you swap between all 4 characters during the duration of Bennett's burst (meaning you don't have much buff uptime on your on-fielder)

runic ether
apparently 4.3 patches will be navia + ayaka then raiden + yoimiya
and the 4.3 abyss cycle confirms it
holy shit yoimiya how come hoyo lets you have like five reruns
long tree
Surely this time she'll get good sales figures
runic ether
she always gets decent sales and when paired with raiden also boosts her weapon banner sales since engulfing is good on xiangling and raiden and p much any supporting polearm
long tree
when paired with raiden
Wonder why that is
runic ether
my hope tho is that cyno and raiden get to show up in the 4.3 story event since we know ayato ayaka and yoimiya will with navia and chevreuse
glossy latch
Huh, might try pulling Raiden then
glossy latch
Ok I think Ill have 1 more roll for Topaz
Fingers crossed 🙏

Alright, level 80 Wrio
60 subdetection units
Guess he is staying level 80 for a while

I get them to LV 70 and then my brain goes "Ayo that's a big number of upgrade mats" then I give up
I am on the second highest world level

glossy latch
70 was doable
80 was a pain
90 seems ... urgh
Subdetection units are so annoying to gather too
runic ether
the fun fact about characters
is that unless they are dendro/em scaling, u dont have to go to 90
80/90 is fine
80/80 is totally fine for a lot of the cast
glossy latch
What makes Dendro/EM different?
runic ether
they scale a lot higher with level
runic ether

glossy latch
Daily limit kinda sucks tho ngl
runic ether
i think its the worst thing genshin does tbh
i wish it was like
u could pick a resource that wont run out for a day
in exchange for others
but idt that would work
idk how they could fix the system either
the opposite eventually happens btw
there comes a point where u have too many resources and nothing to spend it on
glossy latch
Ye he does
Also progression in Genshin feels weird wrt story quests if you dont have a banner you wanna pull on

Whenever someone mentions the chasm I always imagine the tomska skit video "the hole"
glossy latch
Its in the hole
runic ether
its a relatively easy area and very well done
though i would do enkanomiya before chasm
just bc if u find enkanomiya after like i did it can feel a bit whelming since it came before chasm
glossy latch
Wait how do I unlock Enkanomiya

Inazuma
Gotta speak to koko and she gives you the thing to unlock it after doing... I think archon quest chapter 2?

Basically all regions but monstat have a bonus area (Fontaine still need theirs)
Wait unless that really deep research lab counts

mondstat has dragon spine
liyue has the chasm
inazuma has enkanomiya
sumeru has the desert

Well, Ill see how Ill proceed

@ebon quartz 1.6 will be ruan mei + blade 1st half
2nd half is ratio + kafka
luocha nowhere to be seen
the theory atm is that they will drop in 1.7 with chinese new years in a similar way that genshin saves liyue banners for that patch reruns or otherwise
glossy latch
Damn, no Screwllum
runic ether
xueyi, screwllum, ruan mei, and ratio kits are more or less leaked. we will see that kit barring number changes
xueyi
lvl 9 normal: marasunder awl
130% quantum dmg to single enemy
level 10 skill: obliteration of evil
140% quantum to a single enemy + 70% to adjacent enemies
level 10 ultimate: divine punishment
250% to a single enemy. ignores weakness type and depletes toughness. when the enemy is weakness broken, quantum weakness break is triggered.
the more toughness depleted, the higher the damage dealt for this atk up to 60%
level 10 talent: ten-lord's verdict of karmic attonement
add stacks of "karma" when xueyi's attacks depletes a target's toughness, with more stacks added in relation to the toughness depleted for a max of 8 stacks.
when her allies deplete a target's toughness with an attack, she will gain 1 "karma".
when "karma" reaches maximum stacks, a follow up attack will be inflicted, dealing quantum damage 3 times, each hit of dmg inflicted on a single enemy equal to 90% of xueyi's atk. this fua will not add "karma" stacks
major traces:
loom of omen: increases dmg dealt by this unit by an amount equal to 100% of this unit's break effect. dmg can be increased by to a maximum of 240% via this effect. (think it means increased up to a maximum of 240%, but it said "by to a maximum")
demoralization: when using ultimate, if the enemy's toughness is higher than 50% of their max toughness, xueyi deals 10% more dmg.
observation of the mind: when xueyi's applied karma stacks exceeds the maximums tacks count, every extra stack of karma will convert to 1 stack of sin, for a maximum of 6 stacks. after xueyi's talent is triggered, consume all sin stacks and gain 1 stack of karma for every stack of sin consumed this way.
ruan mei
glossy latch
Ruan Mei looks incredibly good wtf
glossy latch
Huh
Screwllum is basically an erudition unit that does a lot of single-target damage too
Seems to excel in 3-enemies encounters
runic ether
this may save him
also yea i do think ruan mei is strong
but i also dont see how she competes for a slot like bronya or tingyun does. it compliments a different sort of support
which is good
she also doesnt fully creep or go above and beyond asta or yukong
harmony path seems like it will be quite balanced for now
glossy latch
Still sad Screwllum isnt the Followup-buffer he was going to be originally
But this looks strong?
runic ether
its a fair bit of what makes qq strong
albeit we dont think hes as sp efficient or have enough self buffs
glossy latch
Like his skill basically becomes a 310% damage to the boss
Plus potentially another 50% from adjacent ones
Im guessing you run him with consistent debuffers
Maybe Guinaifen or Pela?
runic ether
he should be great in moc yes
glossy latch
SW maybe but I don think you do mono-X with him
Oh actually
Welt + Screwllum + SW + ... Luocha I suppose
runic ether
mono imaginary yes
glossy latch
I forgor about Welt lmao
runic ether
technically worse than dan heng but not as sp intensive as daniel
glossy latch
Kinda frustrating that Luocha is basically neccessary for this camp tho
runic ether
no other abundance or preservation imaginary so yep
glossy latch
I guess you could run Welt, Screwllum, SW and Fu Xuan if the enemy is weak to either quantum or imaginary already
glossy latch
Doesnt apply debuffs tho
Welts ult gives you stacks on every enemy, so you can do a triple followup
Plus his skill is super efficient
runic ether
might be higher overall team damage depending on situations and eidolons for yukonh
glossy latch
Maybe, though Welt increasing damage by 12% after ult matches Yukongs 12% imaginary increase
Either way I am so saving for Screwllum either way
I just hope theres a team for him thats consistently good that doesnt need Luocha
I dont think DoTs count as debuffs right?
ebon quartz
Damn no Luocha 😔
Can the new 4 star solo sustain a team?
Was really wanting Luocha for Blade/Jimglu/Tingyun team.
It's a nice team that can rack up sp when I need to and deals with pretty much everything I've found.
runic ether
Can the new 4 star solo sustain a team?
hanya is harmony
unless u mean lynx?
err
guinaifen?
or do u mean xueyi?
shit theres actually a fair bit new 4 stars lol
summer hornet
Assuming Screwllum’s kit doesn’t change too much (and potentially even if it does), he’ll be a must-roll for me
Follow-up attacks and imaginary resistance down is so nice
all it would take is Luocha to get that mono Imaginary team online with Daniel Hung, RIP
glossy latch
Is that a Freudian slip
summer hornet
Lmao nah
It’s a surprisingly common nickname
“Cooler Daniel”, “Daniel Hung”, “Dan Heng IL”, “Super Daniel”, “SSR Daniel”, “Awakened Daniel”, “Daniel Alter”
Pretty sure I’ve seen each of those at least once
runic ether
not yet
ebon quartz
hanya is harmony
Oh uh I can't remember her name.
The non-child looking new character.
Hanya

hanya is harmony yeah shes a buffer not a sustainer

Hoping she's on dr ratios banner
Though im pretty sure she's on Ruan meis

First half apparently
Second is Dr. Ratio
Which sucks because I'd save the guarantee for dr ratio since he seems more fun

she's aight
pretty decent neutral looper
i prefer iyo overall, but she's not until next year
old galleon
if sen no rikyu was released during iyo's event, yes
my timeline of gacha servants is a bit muddied around that post summer hell period
old galleon
arc, s ibuki, proto merlin, and s skadi all release within a few weeks of each other
it's a mess
the year after ain't much better either
s morgan/||aesc||, s castoria, s melusine and the other faerie knights, s chloe

2024 looks like the year of loopers
i genuinely think 80% of the servants of next year are aoe

not outside of supports correct
thats why jingliu has been the only dps ive pulled

3 turn floofy, 12 turn ||flare marie||, etc
min turn memes aside she's imo one of the best servants released next year

kuku is also a choice for buster but thats 2 years from here lol
old galleon
much closer to 1 year than 2 by now
kuku should be like november or december next year
copper steppe
i’ll say probably december
old galleon
i don't remember exact timing, but it should be in that range
kuku's problem is releasing so close to tezca
creating a sort of mini-hell situation
turbid olive
Shame, I couldn't get the random Epic Ship Umikaze. Oh well, Shimakaze is the highlight, so whatever lol.
old galleon
al has gotten to the point most random purples they release with events are collection tier
if you like them and want to use them, they can do things just fine, most of the game isn't that hard
but you aren't missing much for not having them
glossy latch
not outside of supports correct
Even supports tbh
There's just not much that changes gameplay-wise
old galleon
most of the best purples in the game either retrofit into golds or are early release purples from an earlier point in game design where purples were overall a bit better
the last purple released i remember being decent was natori, and tha'ts more for her barrage nonsense
still replaceable, but not bad
turbid olive
I liked Umikaze's character design. 
old galleon
again
turbid olive
True that. Even though I didn't get her, I'm not gonna cry about it.
Hopefully next event I can get some nice ships.
Is it the Senran Kagura collab event next?
old galleon
if a release date hasn't been announced then i can't answer that with certainty
but if i'm to speculate, november is around the time they've done collabs in past years
turbid olive
old galleon
so it'd be a reasonable conclusion to make that it might be next
turbid olive
I'll pray harder for it then. 
old galleon
just keep in mind we'll probably get a ur event in december
so apportion cubes accordingly
turbid olive
True that.

also im probably gonna throw pulls to get her

dropped 2 10 pulls for huohuo and all i got really was halfway to getting but the battle isnt over
i for sure wont build pity on this banner though
gonna do a single 10 pull for hanya in sw's banner and then building pity on xueyi

Is it the erudition one?

The one with the blonde hunt character on it
runic ether
yanqing
its not useless though
its a free 30% crit dmg stat stick
if u dont crit, get a +36 crit rate boost for a turn
its all upside and generic
its not worth buying for sure but if u get it for free its nice on p much every hunt character
topaz, sushang, daniel, seele can all use it
it will be solid on dr ratio as well
not their best cone but u cant have their bis cone at all times and u only get 1 herta shop cone

Your best choice is bronya

Bronya if you want to be optimal
Only other one Id maybe consider is Welt
But you dont have SW
No wait you do
Uh Welt is a maybe then if you want to pull for Dr. Ratio

Since you dont have Luocha

The only downside to Dr. Ratio is that I dont have Luocha either
So I cant do the funny mono-imaginary team
