120 saber is nice
keen cradle
old galleon
yeah your roster looks pretty good overall
that's a good chunk of the ssrs in the game too lol
keen cradle
I max the skills on ones i regularly use
And i always switch up my team
If theyre not max skill that means either they dont need it or i don't use em
old galleon
yeah that sounds about right
i find myself using pretty standard farming comps for easy nodes these days
challenging stuff at least lets me switch things up a bit
keen cradle
Im usually full
I prefer adding people I know or people who are super decked out
old galleon
my roster, as good as it is for an almost pure f2p, isn't as stacked as yours lol
but i have most of the core supports in castoria/koyan/oberon
i'm missing skadi
keen cradle
Thats cus im not f2p i spent a bit too
I try not to spend too much
I mean i do have a job
keen cradle
but i have most of the core supports in castoria/koyan/oberon
Koyan took me a pity
But worth cus i use her like every single fight
copper steppe
ibuki is musashi but better right
copper steppe
summer skadi is also something i should get since i don’t have a quick support as of now
old galleon
there's my supports, could probably do to change some of them up a bit but should give an idea what i've got
anyway i'm saving for s castoria bc i like castoria
next summer is gonna be hell tho lol
i also rate bazett in particular quite highly and she's in a few months
astral drift
is it time to post supports
old galleon
it is indeed support o'clock

it has been a while

anyway i'm saving for s castoria bc i like castoria

i NEED more nitos
keen cradle
Aite
old galleon
i NEED more nitos

rare to see someone who max skills
old galleon
i don't see oberon in there but he's probably the least necessary to have 2 of in a comp, so it's not a problem
keen cradle
Oberon is there wym
old galleon
oh he's in your all nvm
i'm just blind to the all slot sometimes, don't worry about it
keen cradle
Funny how oberon is the only one nice to me in lb6 banner spree
Everyone else took so much
old galleon
iirc all of morgan/koyan/oberon were kind to me
keen cradle
old galleon
but i failed to get melusine at all
keen cradle
Oberon is also my favorite in lb6
idle grove
still only me and len on jp sadge
old galleon
typhon in fgo2, take it or leave it : ^)
keen cradle
still only me and len on jp sadge
I have jp with good amount of strong ssrs but i barely play it
idle grove
I've been off most gachas for a little bit now myself
not had time to play really
also the lb7 raids got me mighty stuck
old galleon
yeah that one looks lik ea roster check more than anything
keen cradle
I have everyone leveled up so
old galleon
i've had fun planning for it tho
idle grove
my roster isn't too fleshed out so I'll probably just be doing that for a little while
old galleon
i'd probably recommend just soloing as necessary; you should have enough to do that, i would think
idle grove
oh yeah probably
astral drift
my jp acc's master level is almost catching up on na's
idle grove
not me looking at all my 3*s at level 1
old galleon
ushi?
idle grove
that's not true actually I have a bunch leveled
old galleon
she can solo a caster bar
idle grove
yeah I didn't do the last event cause I just didn't have the time or energy
Been working some later shifts recently and it really makes me not want to spend time on gachas when I get home
keen cradle
Yea when you do couple lotto you just literally end up maxing everyone
Whether you mean to or not
idle grove
I need to move the game onto my pc at some point really
or at least find a good android to pc mirroring software that isn't total ass
copper steppe
im just waiting for tunguska
old galleon
don't forget to do this event and christmas in the process
late canopy
or at least find a good android to pc mirroring software that isn't total ass
I found this one a while back
old galleon
ranmaru is still decent and santa martha is great
copper steppe
and hear the fire an extra life with anyone she wants remix🔥
late canopy
Best find I've ever gotten
Basically turns my android phone into a flawless PC program
It's wired which was one of the main things I was looking for
So no lag
idle grove
ty I'll look at that tomorrow
old galleon
this one's gonna come a bit out of left field, but would that allow me to bypass the need for wifi on my computer?
i judge debate and i've been having wifi issues the last several tournaments on my computer (my phone connects just fine)
late canopy
I believe you can run it without wifi
You do need to turn on usb debugging though
In developer options
old galleon
no what i mean is, if it's a true screen copying thing, then even if my computer isn't on wifi, would inputs there apply to my phone properly?
late canopy
Yes
old galleon
so say i need to input information for a competitor's ballot
i can do that much faster on my computer, so i do so on my computer
that would then go to my phone?
late canopy
You can click around on it on your PC with it mirroring to the phone
old galleon
and would my computer be able to access the sites without wifi in the first place?
late canopy
I think keyboard too but I don't think I've tried typing much on it
I think? As long as it's the phone trying to access it
late canopy
Lemme actually try accessing things with my computer internet turned off actually
This is me with my computer internet completely disabled and I just sent this message just now via typing on my keyboard
old galleon
interesting
late canopy
This is me with my computer internet completely disabled and I just sent this me...
I sent that message with internet completely off
Turned it back on to send the screenshot
Cuz I did that from the computer discord

haitham died at the end but we dont talk about it
yo apparently ppl didnt learn how to group pyro lectors
and this was a hard abyss for them
to anyone who doesnt has 3+ hydros leveled for this abyss
late canopy
I zapped them fast enough to be lazy with even bothering to group them and worked on them almost one at a time lol
runic ether
pyro lectors when they have to fight yelan and xingqiu
i hated them before. then i leveled a 3rd (and now 5th) hydro and i have never struggled vs them while running enough hydros for my teams
also my decorative baizhu has been doing insane amount of work
hes still level 70 and can barely keep up the heals and its why haitham died
but having haitham + em raiden allows me to click q and still delete things on raiden
late canopy
Pyro Lectors are indeed pretty demanding on the heals
If I needed it I usually actually go to Barbara to help with them previously
runic ether
ah nah i didnt struggle with healing vs the lectors
it was coppelia that decided she was gonna spin to win and clip haitha from about 8k health to 0
glossy latch
Btw what's the advantage of mono hydro teams?
mystic python
Energy particles of the same element give 3x as much energy as other element particles to characters of that element, so it makes ER requirements lower. Hydro resonance is also pretty strong for HP scalers
runic ether
yep
mono-element lets u run extremely low energy recharge requirements
u can funnel the spare er into dmg stats
anyways bear witness
torn harbor

runic ether
it only leveled crit rate and cdmg

when does maou nobu banner drop?
old galleon
dragon steak solo accomplished
took a little longer than i'd have liked, in part bc computer not cooperating and in part bc supports not cooperating
i wanted to bring 2x habetrot but i had to settle for level 1 george instead
i played the latter part of the fight a bit slower as well, this can go as fast as 8 turns or so
honest pawn
everytime I wanna commit to saving for a servant a certain moon princess pops into my head
old galleon
arc based
honest pawn
she's based but nobu does more damage
and like
idk maybe I shouldn't be caring about damage too much
old galleon
nobu has an upgraded np
arc has a 100% battery but it's on a 7 turn cooldown, so she mandates different comps than the usual 2x koyan and oberon
honest pawn
nobu got an np buff?
also fwiw I think archetype earth can still roll with double koyan chloe oberon
old galleon
no, i guess i'm just a dingaling
arc's highest damage comp that isn't reliant on enemy formation would look like 2x oberon and koyan
honest pawn
guess I'll just drop some sq for her if I have some left over

Riyo really do be one of my favourite artists, man
old galleon
then you're in luck, since next year there'll be a collab with learning with manga
there's no 4* welfare for it, but it does add mary anning to the fp pool for the event, and has a couple new servants to roll for, on top of having one of the best freebie 5* ces in the game
the servants are all drawn by riyo, of course
old galleon
super bunyan is the event 5*, fwiw
i haven't heard good things about her characterization, but it's also not out in english yet, so i can't say for sure

@runic ether Kuki Shinobu is pretty important for Alhaitham right?
glossy latch
Damn thats a nice steak
runic ether
<@480437470870110209> Kuki Shinobu is pretty important for Alhaitham right?
not necessarily
fischl, yae, raiden and beidou can all work with him
it just depends on your other 2 characters
ie: haitham fischl kokomi flex works
haitham beidou fischl hydro works (preferably kokomi here)
haitham yae hydro + dendro or hydro + fischl works so long as u get a healer or shielder
glossy latch
I see
Mostly debating whether to pull on a banner from this patch or next patch
Since next patch iirc leaked that Kuki, Xiangling and Kirara are on the banner
runic ether
yeah next patch's 4 star line ups are gonna be nice
runic ether
yea
not 4.3
4.3 has chevreuse with navia p sure
or they may toss her with raiden/yoimiya
in any case yeah next banner cycle has some really nice 4 stars
all 3 are really good
xiangling likes her c4
kuki is great in hyperbloom
kirara is great in quickswap aggra/spread or hyperbloom
haitham is one of the most customizable characters in terms of who he can play with
his teams are all the same archetype but he can kinda run with every single hydro electro and other dendro
it just depends on who u have
atm im running him with raiden furina baizhu
if i didnt have baizhu id run him with yaoyao or kuki
ive ran him with double hydro
haitham/xq/yelan/kuki
ive ran him double dendro hydro electro
double electro
quicken with double electro
quicken with just kuki + anemo
he just works
runic ether
i would go for ayato over cyno
in that case
since ayato can work as the off-field hydro for haitham
haitham/ayato/kuki/dendro or electro or hydro is a real team comp
since ayato is ayato
he can do on-field or off-field well
cyno has no synergy with haitham
and he is a strict on-fielder
glossy latch
Yeah but I doubt I have a lack of hydro units 
runic ether
if ur plan is to get haitham at some point, ayato > cyno
no but also u can never go wrong with more hydro
alternatively, u can wait and try for raiden in 4.3
raiden is another solid on-field and off-fielder
glossy latch
Mmh
runic ether
like if u could, i would say go ayato -> raiden -> haitham
thats a team in and of itself
kuki or yaoyao or kirara can sustain that team
even barbara or kokomi
glossy latch
Doubt I can reliably pull all 3, and I do wanna keep enough to get Arlecchino ideally
runic ether
yeah
so ultimately, i would save for who u are more interested in
ayato or raiden
i wouldnt go for cyno unless u end up really liking him

that's why I said it's time for it
I'm starting
just gotta wait until the archer training grounds go up lol
I will chronicle my journey
old galleon
don't push training grounds too much; we're getting a lottery next month
honest pawn
oh right
I'll check what mats I can get from then but I wanna grind Emiya's 3rd skill to max anyways
for the koyan loops
old galleon
30% charge on 6t or less cooldown makes him compatible with 2x koyan and oberon
you wouldn't run castoria at taht point unless you had no choice
or wanted to use bg or something
(and no i'm not a big fan of the koyan/arctic bg comp)
honest pawn
yeah it shafts castoria comps over but honestly if you consider arts to be shirou's canon card type ala muramasa then you could make a case for EMIYA having control over arts and buster card types and opting into buster more often because of his and shirou's different views on their shared dream
it works thematically at least
old galleon
if you consider arts to be his canon card type, then the card switch should last 3 turns instead of 1
but here we are
honest pawn

Why is Enkanomiya greek?
Japan was historically founded on the ruins of greece
But if you want an actual answer err... "Teyvat has its own laws"
runic ether
Why is Enkanomiya greek?
it was a kingdom before inazuma even existed and iirc it wasnt even located near inazuma originally. it was sunk underwater there though
glossy latch
I see
Hmmm
Arent the Goetian names of the Archons greek?
No wait
Doesnt work with Raiden
runic ether
barbatos, morax, baal and beelzebul, buer, focalors. they arent greek iirc
its the uh

Ars Goetia
runic ether
yes
but im trying to see if the root words were greek or not actually
at least the modernized names
glossy latch
Barbatos yes
runic ether
paimon too
runic ether
forgot paimon is an ars goetian name
runic ether
astaroth is greek iirc
glossy latch
Paimon should be persian
runic ether
i cant recall but i think it is persian
glossy latch
Astaroth is phoenician actually
Well derived from phoenician
I think the phonetics are greek
But Baal and Beelzebul are both definitely not greek
Iirc Baal is Canaanite
runic ether
i believe it is canaanite
glossy latch
Beelzebul might be either Canaanite or a corrupted form derived from Canaanite in early hebrew
Hmmm
Actually what if Enkanomiya was one of several kingdoms
And the names of the Archons are from seperate kingdoms?
runic ether
i believe they demon names are their real names
the name presented is their chosen name after the fact
we dont know why they go by a different name for most cases
glossy latch
I do mean the demon names
runic ether
zhongli its obvious
hes stepped down

But yeah I know that ||apparently Furina is not an Archon?||

lesser lord kusanali

runic ether
and her sages are known as the sage of buer

yea its an oversight

Yeah the game does just spoiler some things for you on level up
runic ether
they normally do a much better job of keeping info like that from players
long tree
Iirc nevu has the same thing
runic ether
nah they hid his shit well
then again they arent really hiding that hes the hydro dragon sovereign
they do hide some other additional post-story content though
its in the game files but arent viewable until after you complete 4.2
glossy latch
Ill get to it eventually
runic ether
they just forgot to do that for all furina's story stuff
long tree
Enkanomiya is a decent time
glossy latch
I do enjoy it
long tree
Some good puzzles there
runic ether
my favorite enkanomiya theory is that the reason paimon is found out in the sea is bc she was ishtaroth and was revived around the same time the traveler wakes up
since ishtaroth was widely worshipped in mondstat and enkanomiya, it also gives merit that the temple of time in mondstat is around where enkanomiya was originally located
this theory mostly stems from the fact that venti and istaroth were good friends and paimon instinctively finished a quote of venti's in this year's lantern rites without thinking
and in wrio's story quest having paimon mention that touching that one crystal made her recall some awful memories
long tree
I mainly want to know what's up with Kiara, she seems to be in her hercherr of the void form but the personality is off, maybe just different circumstances made a new Kiara ig

Wtf are Domains canonically?

I think they're just things you can explore
The repeating aspect is probably just gameplay?

I think the fact you go into one with Bennett in his hangout and explore it makes it seem like they're just old dungeons you can explore

runic ether
Wtf are Domains canonically?
echoes of the past connected through irminsul
do raiden story quest 2
glossy latch
Oh yeah, Yggdrasil but with a different name
runic ether
it explains the reason domains work being that ur using the resin to revive the branches and claim rewards from the past
not exactly the resin part but the fact that the leylines + branches of irminsul carry memories
mystic python
Oh yeah, Yggdrasil but with a different name
Dw about the bit where King Irmin has 1 eye as well

As I said, Norse
Irmin is a germanic equivalent of Odin
Or like an aspect of Wotan who himself is Odin

I do generally enjoy Genshin worldbuilding I have to admit
Even if it is fairly obviously self-indulgent
runic ether
indeed
they def cared a lot to put it together and make it quite cohesive
with some small blips here and there but i do think its inevitable with a game as big
granted they keep releasing lore that further explains more of it as time goes on
like with the namedrop of surtalogi
giving us a glimpse of yet another possible faction independent of the archons, celestia, the abyss, the fatui, or the hexenzirkle

The point is you got them because we have no idea when we could get a rerun if ever

Oh huh if I get Silver Wolf I can do the mono quantum meme team.
versed pawn
If u have 3 other quantum units yes?
simple wind
Apparently they're dogshit
I only got double HMS princess so you got luckier
glossy latch
Hm
I am starting to realise an issue I have with Genshin
It feels lik there is a disconnect between the core gameplay of exploration, and progression
simple wind
Tbh I only even rolled on princess punt for unit collection since there’s no guarantee it ever comes back
ebon quartz
If u have 3 other quantum units yes?
I have Fu Xuan, Lynx, and an e1 Seele.
I can do the meme team.
runic ether
It feels lik there is a disconnect between the core gameplay of exploration, and...
in the sense that there isnt a lot of required exploration to progress in the story?
there is a fair bit of story-locked areas that gate exploration but not much of the inverse is true
glossy latch
in the sense that there isnt a lot of required exploration to progress in the st...
Moreso in the sense that getting stronger mostly involves doing domains and worldbosses over and over
Like the only thing you get from exploring that helps you get stronger is (typically) EXP
runic ether
ah yea
that part can be a bit jarring
u dont explore to progress
u hit domains to do so
exploration is for primos and weapons basically
its certainly a decision
i dont mind it myself
cus it largely means that exploring is rather casual
especially when i think of how the alternative would be which would involve heavy rng on finding stuff
late canopy
If I'm being honest exploring in Genshin to me has always felt like it's own reward
Even if the chests were replaced with "Found x out of y chests" with absolutely no other reward I probably wouldn't change how much I did it
The primos and the sigils are more at the back of my mind when it comes to exploring compared to the exploring itself
runic ether
Maybe like 4* weapons
there are a few throughout various story quests and such
my bigger gripe is that a fair few quests give u unique items but they dont give u a use for them (yet)
some probs wont but it is cool to have the secret thing
glossy latch
Oh like the materials you get from defeating the story bosses?
runic ether
nah some quests have unique weapons tied to them. not many but some do ie: kazuha's story quest has a unique 4 star sword
a recent fontaine quest has a unique sword as well
runic ether
pretty solid options
the new sword is really useful in fontiane and vs fontaine enemies
glossy latch
Huh, neat
Wish it was less quests and more just stuff you could find though
Iirc there is one in Dragonspire like that
runic ether
yep and in liyue
glossy latch
Theres one in Liyue?
runic ether
not a 4 star weapon but a 3 star weapon not tied to any quests or anything
theres also a sword not tied to quests found thru an npc in liyue harbor
theres an artifact set in the chasm area
glossy latch
Also why is there no weapon transmog
versed pawn
I pulled for furina weapon 
I usually only test waters on weapon banner with a 20 and leave but I got double donut at 20 
So I went in

Pardon me, is it really true that Rate Up is a lie?
void cargo
Pardon me, is it really true that Rate Up is a lie?
it is a lie that the Rate up is true
orchid elbow
Eh?
torn harbor
Eh?
Rate up exists
People like to joke that it's a lie cause just cause there is a rate up doesn't mean you're guaranteed it lol
orchid elbow
Yeah. I assume if the normal rate was 1%, it becomes 1.01%?
long tree
That and for some games the rates are less than 1% so people often just hit pity
old galleon
Pardon me, is it really true that Rate Up is a lie?
It's a meme since rate up on its own doesn't guarantee anything
If they were lying about rate ups or rates in general, that would get them in hot water

Dokkan moment
long tree
My UI Goku looks funny
late canopy
Oh ye isn't dokkan having something big going on right now?
DB Legends also just announced their Legends Festival things
copper steppe
we like to think rate up is a lie to cope with the gacha salt
late canopy
If I was still playing I would cream my pants for that Goku and Vegeta pair
Also current widespread guess is later in the festival Ultra SSJ4 Gogeta will be coming
old galleon
second pull on the banner and i'm already in the saved 8k currency club
still missing the other two golds
turbid olive
Bruh. I got literally 0 SSRs from all 40 pulls. 😦
My Gacha luck truly has faded for this banner.
All I got was the dark skinned girl that's a Purple ship.
Oh, right. And a ton of submarine ships.
old galleon
rip
my advice would be to set a budget and not to go past it by any means, since we'll be getting a ur event of some kind next month
the collab ships look like they range from decent to good, but none of them should be as good as the next ur, since that's how powerscaling in this game works
turbid olive
old galleon
the banner golds are asuka, fubuki, yumi, and ikaruga (who's also the shop welfare)
glossy latch
Do any bosses actually drop the golden gemstone material for ascension?
runic ether
traveler ascension mats are given by adventurer rank
glossy latch
Oh no I mean like
Shivada Jade Gemstone
It says Regisvines drop it but I havent seen it happen yet
runic ether
ah no yes they do drop them its rare but it happens after ar45
each boss has a certain chance to drop gemstones in general
of all kinds
shivada are dropped by ice bosses
also at any alchemy lab u can craft smaller bits into the bigger thing
glossy latch
I know but the exchange rate is murder and I need 6 of the bloody thing
runic ether
3 slivers -> 1 fragment
3 fragments -> 1 chunk
3 chunks -> 1 gemstone
each character will need 1 sliver, 9 fragment, 9 chunks, 6 gemstones
in any case it is up to luck in the end
i have like 4 vajrada amethysts
but i have never seen a varunada or agnidus gestone ever
glossy latch
Damn
glossy latch
Thats the plan, but it sure takes ages
runic ether
ye;
*ye
it takes about 2~ weeks to max out a character from scratch
more if ur still or new to the game
glossy latch
Sure is a pain
runic ether
shit idr when it was but my 1st character to hit level 90 took me like 2 months
tbf
i wasnt playing genshin that that much
max 30 mins a day at 1st
nowdays im playing about an hour of genshin a day
runic ether
Sure is a pain
honestly
i kind of enjoy it
im actually a p big fan of the system since it further encourages not playing a lot at once and rather spreading it out over time
glossy latch
Idk, I just dont like grinding bosses I find boring for the sake of upgrading my character
Im not a huge fan of grind in general
runic ether
oh yea dont get me wrong i get it
i do wish we had a harder difficulty setting for bosses just to make it more interesting but on the otherhand, i understand genshin has to be developed for mobile as well
glossy latch
Guess Ill continue the chasm quest once we get a new banner to have something to directly work towards
Btw do you need fishing unlocked for the new quest?
Err
Event
glossy latch
Also apparently people are down horrendously for Wrio
runic ether
no yes ppl are down so bad for most genshin characters as a whole
glossy latch
Yes but most of them are kinda whatever tbh
late canopy
If you have the spare stardust from pulling, you can also exchange for the dust material in paimons bargains which will let you turn one color of gemstone into another
Very helpful for focusing on the character you actually want to build at the moment
runic ether
guess im a clara main now
tbf idt e2 is huge but its very fucking nice to have
she came home after a random 1 pull in standard
glossy latch
Does it stack additively or multiplicatively?
If additive its alright, but probably still her second-best constellation tbh
Once you get her E6 tho, hoo boy
old galleon
ironically, the vh difficulty ended up being a harder clear than the stella difficulty
anyway, my boi has his glow-up now
also, players who went into the update blind are finding out how many exp scrolls you need to go from 80 to 100 and it's not pretty
80-90 took like 300-something
so about a 10th of the total
(for comparison, 60-80 only takes like 75, with 1-60 not being worth using scrolls on)

If any char deserves to be treated nice it's Furina tbf

flame ruler defeated blind on master
i uhh wasn't expecting it not to have a stopper, but just like sesta, awakened aldo is braindead
anyway, i'm going through the new episode on master the entire time, since there's actual incentive to mobbing on it too
runic ether
I have a problem
how many donuts did u get caught up on
versed pawn
I only pulled for it because I got 2 donuts in 20 
sharp badger
If she comes out i am C6 R5 her
runic ether
ill c6 arlecchino if her cons are all good
but im still waiting on her leaks and shit

oh shit fr?
dont think I'm in a crew tho
no way i'm kept in after being afk for like 6 months lmao
old galleon
i mean i'm not playing it right now either
in the first place my water is ass
doubly so since i didn't roll for gabriel
summer hornet
The meta’s probably evolved a ton too
👌
Dilemmaaaaaaaaa
On one hand Lumen's is 
On the other, I don't really use him lol
Irene is the one who I use every so often for fun shenanigans
runic ether
what now
runic ether
true
versed pawn
XP is now converted into credits instead
It's like I think 1:150 or so if I'm not mistaken
Nah probably 15
Like almost 40k per day seems more reasonable than 400k
runic ether
yea actually
runic ether
zeneless zone zero looks kinda fire
but damn i thought hsr was horny this game looks incredibly horny
ebon quartz
Is Hanya actually better for skill point generation than Tingyun?
runic ether
nope
shes equal
some team comps can go a bit more into hanya's ability to generate but its more or less the same
ebon quartz
Hmm, got it.
Not really liking Tingyun with Blade and Jinglu sadly.
runic ether
shes not built for either no
asta is better for them
as is yukong
and of course bronya
hanya is also not built for them really
sparkle will be built for them
ebon quartz
What about using Gui for firekiss stacks?
ebon quartz
I'll probably use Gui then.
I hate Pelas design and I'm trying to get more sp.
runic ether
though in most cases, u will wanna do fu xuan/luocha + blade + bronya + wolf/pela/gui
or the broken sustains + jingliu + bronya + wolf/pela/gui
jingliu will do better with bronya, blade will do better with sparkle
astral drift
but damn i thought hsr was horny this game looks incredibly horny
real?
ebon quartz
Yeah I really want to stick with Jinglu + Blade though because triggering Shusus gift more and more is so nice.
runic ether
dual carry? if this is for simulated universe and/or swarm disaster, ur best bet might actually be a 2nd sustainer
fu xuan + lynx for instance
if its for memory of chaos, i think ur better off separating them for 2 different teams unless u have a built qingque or other carry
old galleon
did ayako kawasumi voice anyone relevant in gudaguda or is this new character preview?

Ready for Silver Wolf rerun.

Blimey

Yeah lmao.
I have the $5 monthly thing and log in every day so the jade adds up.

long tree
Fellas, alhathim or kazoohoo
old galleon
yes lol
the higher level the better but should? be able to do it at 80 if you haven't grailed her
copper steppe
fantastic
runic ether
Fellas, alhathim or kazoohoo
what is this question
it depends entirely on what u want/need
haitham is an on-field dendro carry
kazuha is supporting anemo grouper
long tree
It's mainly I like both and don't know which to pull on, I would like kazoo for grouping but I'd also like haitham because I like his gameplay
runic ether
fortunately for u, neither are on rate up
long tree
This is true, if I'm lucky they'll be spaced further apart next time
long tree
Both were featured at the same time last time, and it's only been 6 months
long tree
I would expect them to rerun sooner rather than later as they do make fair money when they show up
I doubt it's going to be a eula situation
glossy latch
I mean for now Im planning to pull a bit on Cyno next patch, mostly for the 4*, then aim for Arlecchino
long tree
Don't blame you for going for arlecchino, she's got style
glossy latch
I do vibe with her design
Its got a bit of an eldritch vibe going on
I just hope shes a fun on-field DPS
runic ether
yea im hoping shes an on-fielder
glossy latch
I find off-fielders are a bit unfortunate since you basically dont even see them most of the time
runic ether
nah u usually see them enough
with some exceptions
xingqiu and fischl are nice bc u can basically never need to see them
glossy latch
Like yeah they pop in, do their burst and maybe skill but thats about it
You dont even really attack with em most of the time
Which is just a bit of a shame
glossy latch
Do they?
runic ether
yes
anyone who is using a favonious weapon will wanna weave normals
any team that has normal attack triggers on burst/skill will wanna do them too
glossy latch
Wait do Favonius weapons do something on attack?
I just vaguely remember they help with energy
runic ether
yes thats their whole passive
whenever you hit an enemy, u have a 50%+ chance to generate extra energy particles
glossy latch
I see
runic ether
it depends on character but if ur on fav
u wanna normal about 3-4 times
gives u good chance to trigger fav passive
if ur running xq, even if u have fav, u do 2 normals per rotation per character expect the on-fielder who will do more
glossy latch
Oh lmao
I gathered the materials for upgrading Wrio
I forgor you need to be AR 50 for that
old galleon
was barely within my cube budget but i got all the gacha collab ships

i can't believe it's already been almost a year since dragalia EOS
less unbelievably i haven't picked up a single new gacha since
