[runic ether]

u can 100% do wrio furina navia healer

healer can be literally anyone so long as its keeping up the whole team

can be jean even

[glossy latch]

I mean I could, Im just not sure theres much benefit

Id rather have Navia as the DPS of a second team

[runic ether]

this is a team that wouldnt care about reactions but just raw damage

oh of course but genshin is a game where u do wanna keep ur options open

be able to mix things up in regards to content

sometimes, it will be better to run wrio reverse melt with xiangling bennett rosaria

[glossy latch]

Mmh

[runic ether]

other times, u would wanna run wrio in hyperfridge

yaoyao fischl xingqiu wrio in example

i think ultimately u got pretty good luck with your on-fielders of choice since they both really can do whatever the fuck u want

navia actively wants non-geo

i think u can skip raiden unless u really like her character having who u have

hmmmm

i could see picking up nahida, yae miko, kazuha, haitham if they come up for ur account

and then another hydro 5 star either neuvillette or kokomi

though ofc im partial to say that if u see yelan then go for her

[glossy latch]

I mean I did choose them for a reason

And yeah Im skipping Raiden

Rn I just want Arle

Maybe Alhaitham once he reruns

[runic ether]

im kinda shocked we still know so little about arle

at least we know shes a pyro which means she will, unless something is truly weird about her kit, works with double hydro

[glossy latch]

I just hope shes an on-fielder

[runic ether]

yeah if shes an on-fielder

her best team will be, barring strange things, yelan, xingqiu, flex

if shes an off-fielder, her best team will likely be yelan xingqiu on-fielder pyro

[glossy latch]

Plus I just dont have a decent pyro on-fielder

[runic ether]

bennett?

i swear u got bennett

yea u did get bennett

bennett is an on-fielder technically

[glossy latch]

Is he?

[runic ether]

the reason bennett is so broken is bc bennett can 100% be a passive burst skill and leave bot

but hes supposed to be played on-field

his skill cooldown is so short for that

his c6 is meant to further buff the team but mostly bennett to on-field

his c4 as well

its all meant to make bennett a better on-fielder

[versed pawn]

Tbh i hate circle impact

But so many good skills are circles

[runic ether]

bennett and rosaria are the 2 most relevant circles

jean nowdays tbh

but past that, not many circles

[glossy latch]

Oh is that why his C6 isnt good for the thing people use benny for?

[versed pawn]

There so much stuff these days the don't c6 thing is probably outdated but still parroted arround

[runic ether]

ppl still scared of c6ing bennett are weird

its proven to be just better

the only reason someone wouldnt wanna c6 bennett is bc they play him with eula

even though her best team has long abandoned bennett

eula/raiden/baizhu/furina is her best team now and its not really all that close

stubbornly leaving bennett c5 and making him weaker for p much every other team hes a part of and weakening his on-field presence just to buff eula is a level of simping that i cant even process

[glossy latch]

Does the Pyro infusion not interfere with other characters?

[runic ether]

not often

for a lot of characters, that infusion is also something that gets eaten up

ie: raiden national

raiden/xiangling/xingqiu/bennett

raiden burst will override bennett c6

catalyst characters cant get the pyro infusion

if running national, xiangling loves the bonus to pyro and xingqiu an reverse vape his own rainswords

while sucrose/heizou dont care about the c6

navia infusion will beat bennett infusion

candace infusion beats bennett infusion

[versed pawn]

Haven't log in genshin for 2 days

Finished now with simulated grind tho

Hugh conundrum is annoying

Svarog literally spawned 4 hands and made them detonate

[long tree]

Damn that's 2/3rds of a single pull

[versed pawn]

Or argenti beging frozen for 2 phases but on the third he gets a turn and just one shots the entire team

[glossy latch]

Well shit

The MoC 5 boss is kicking my ass

My account matches uniquely poorly against him

Nvm I figured it out

Clara is pretty good turns out

[runic ether]

indeed

[glossy latch]

The relics could use some work though

55% crit chance 97% crit damage seems kinda low

[glossy latch]

I swear I have lost every 50/50 on the 4*

At this point Im really close to just hitting pity

Guess I have to cut my losses

Dont really need Ruan Meis E1 and I dont really want blade tbh

[torn harbor]

i got guam

[versed pawn]

got through conundrum 11 also i hate double robot bosses

Pela had to solo the last phase because she the only one who survived that fatbot dive bomb

[versed pawn]

[long tree]

Today's freebies got me drang konolulu and kaguya

I got no clue if kaguya is good but she’s pretty so I’m happy

[old galleon]

the summon or the character?

[long tree]

The character

[old galleon]

iirc the character is pretty good

her weapon is also probably future core in zephyrus, but not as good in omega

[slow raft]

love this guy

i like how most of the colours are like "yeah im no big deal tehee" while being specifically categorized to be the strongest fixers

[summer hornet]

Even if Zeta don’t got me, I know the Lowain Bros got me

(And Bubs too, I guess?)

[idle grove]

nobody got me unfortunately

[summer hornet]

Aeri… I got you, yo

[old galleon]

bubs is definitely the best pull of that bunch

i guess i can at least respect the dom perignon reference tho

[summer hornet]

Yeah they’re really fun lol

Even the lines for when their rizz skill whiffs

Wish me luck though, I’m gonna spend the next hour or so draining AP and banging my head against the wall that is the final fight of Tunguska Sanctuary

NOT having a good time, for the record

[rigid pilot]

Final fight of Tunguska?

Do you have Barghest or Mélusine?

Both of them can clear rather easily

[old galleon]

i just did support ibuki solo, only took a few attempts bc rng

[summer hornet]

Barg I’ve got NP5, spent yesterday leveling her skills from 6/6/6 to 10/10/10

There’s still so much that can go wrong

I’m going with the Taigong support just to get buff success back from 60 to 90%

[idle grove]

bless barg

[rigid pilot]

My Mélusine cooked Beast IV pretty much solo so I quit to try with a 5/5/5 Barghest and she basically cleared with Mash and would have cleared with Command Spells

Oh I lied

[summer hornet]

B r u h

Okay what was your setup

Clearly I’m doing something wrong

[rigid pilot]

For Mélusine I did double Koyan Merlin and then Oberon Mash

For Barghest I did Koyan Merlin with backup Reines Mash

[summer hornet]

Ahhhh

I’ve been defaulting towards slower setups

Support Taigong/Barg/Castoria, then Merlin/Mash/Tamamo in the backline

[rigid pilot]

Ah okay

[summer hornet]

Both Castoria and Merlin have bond CEs

[rigid pilot]

I get it but this is a fight you can brute force

If I was gonna use an arts team here I'd consider Holmes if you have him

Tamamo Castoria Holmes

[copper steppe]

that buff success debuff is a bitch

[slow raft]

really fucked over my bargh run

and also the fact that i didnt know the mechanics of the fight

[summer hornet]

Nah I’ve got the gamepress page up on my laptop lmao

I’ll finish out this current attempt (not expecting to clear, tbqh) and then I’ll switch to the burst setup

[rigid pilot]

Same LOL

I did end up getting it with Command Codes on Barghest

[summer hornet]

I’m consistently getting to the final bar, at least

That’s worth something

[rigid pilot]

I would try being aggressive

In any case I've now spent about 250 million QP that I grinded from the raids

[summer hornet]

…and how much do you have left

[rigid pilot]

100 million

I didn't grind all that much in the raids unfortunately

[summer hornet]

Still about 100 million more than me, no worries

[summer hornet]

Okay so I’m assuming the buff success rate doesn’t apply unless you start with Taigong, huh

Oh joy it’s only while he’s on the field

Lemme recalculate real quick, then

[old galleon]

welcome to hell

directly in front of you is a 6-titted fur beast who wants to take your fucking head and insists on making it hard to apply buffs

oh and also the random monsters she spawns

to your right and left are nothing useful, and to your rear is the exit that she just cut off

good luck

[summer hornet]

I ask Taigong for help but all he says is “how beautiful…”

[glossy latch]

I had a decent geo goblet, and then all of the fucking upgrades went into EM

Why

[old galleon]

the story fellates taigong the whole time and he doesn't do jack shit most of the story

par the course

[glossy latch]

Literally 4/4 went into EM >.>

[runic ether]

hey

technically

it buffs the crystalize shield

em is actually somewhat relevant for geo

now for navia no but its the thought that counts

actually hmmm

navia is the one geo character that actually uses the em

besides albedo

[summer hornet]

I don’t blame him for the Daji confusion

I DO blame him for the simping

[glossy latch]

I mean from what Ive heard I could just use an atk% goblet on Navia

... or was that a different character

[old galleon]

everyone was simping for him

they needed to take the sage advice from the lowain bros: simper, no simping

would have saved a lot of trouble

[runic ether]

with furina u can do atk% goblet since she already boosts your dmg a lot. its not the most optimal and u lose out on some dmg but its not bad

[glossy latch]

Ah, I see

Btw why does MoC reset so late this time?

[runic ether]

cus of moc 12 i think

[glossy latch]

Even with that, its over a month reset isnt it

[runic ether]

i think so? either way its a nice way to let ppl catch up on moc 12 strats to clear

[glossy latch]

Oh apparently its because of pure fiction

[runic ether]

oh nice either way

[glossy latch]

Aka the gamemode that might make Himeko relevant

[summer hornet]

...finally decided to spend command seals, and the AOE death debuff killed my frontline (AGAIN) on the first NP

so so so so so so done

[old galleon]

pretty sure you need to st the ruler if you know you can't kill with the np

[summer hornet]

I used Koyan before Barghest

and then Barghest died before the NP could go off

[rigid pilot]

Damn

I think it's time Regi

[summer hornet]

...use SQ?

[old galleon]

def don't use sq for this

[versed pawn]

Is it literally a dickcannon

[old galleon]

if all else fails, support ibuki solo is possible

[rigid pilot]

[old galleon]

reminder for gbf players, banner reset will be happening tonight

in roughly 10 hours iirc

if it hadn't already been announced, the unusual timing would indicate the next banner is the premium banner

so you have freedom with how you use today's freebies

want to try for zeta? roll on the current banner

want uriel or payila? wait until the banner changes

[honest pawn]

is zeta good?

[old galleon]

very

[honest pawn]

good to know

[old galleon]

her weapon is unfortunately pseudo-locked to primal, but she herself is great

[honest pawn]

lemme see what comps I can put her in

[old galleon]

her best comp likely involves g percy

who i think you have?

only thing i'd note is that she has something that won't activate on percy's 3, but that's fine

[honest pawn]

I do yeah

[idle grove]

the banner better give me zeta tonight

[honest pawn]

this is basically all the best fires I have

[old galleon]

is your heles not 100?

[honest pawn]

no I just kinda got access to this account again

[old galleon]

fair enough

[long tree]

Are you sure about this or is it just a hunch

[old galleon]

i'm absolutely certain

[long tree]

Awesome will save and hope I pull good fire units

[old galleon]

wilnas, percy, and michael are all on premium

i doubt any of them will be the old rateup grand, but we'll see

[slow raft]

https://vxtwitter.com/Analyst_Gaming_/status/1740967865422123031?s=20

[old galleon]

got 100 freebies today

so if i wanted to, i could discount spark this banner

but methinks i'll hold them for the premium banner

[idle grove]

20 draws + gachapin from filling the gauge

time to pull zeta

[old galleon]

good luck

[idle grove]

🎉

[summer hornet]

Ayyyyyyyy!!

I... Got 2 more Mugen dupes plus a Lowain dupe

And that includes all my actual gems

Tomorrow I should get gachapin frenzy... But that's not today

[versed pawn]

i always tell my self to not do robots at high conundrum just to do robots on high conundrum and then get wiped by them

like no cap they are harder than the other bosses

[summer hornet]

Just to check, what are the usual targets people say to use Sierotickets for?

(half the reason I'm asking is because the new discord mobile UI is TERRIBLE for searching lmao)

[long tree]

Fellas help the icons bugged on me which is which

[idle grove]

the button in the bottom left is "decide later" i think

[long tree]

The icons are permanently bugged

[idle grove]

so if you press that and go back to the main menu you should be able to open it again

oh

normally restarting the mobile app works, it should never be permanently bugged

considering it's a web based game

[summer hornet]

There's two different sets of summon choices, so not sure I could tell you which is which

Maybe try opening it on a different device?

[long tree]

This is seraphic

[summer hornet]

Ah, then lemme see

Is that right?

[long tree]

Life saver ty

[long tree]

Do I go earth, wind or water

[summer hornet]

Definitely get that checked out tho NGL

[long tree]

I'm leaning more earth

[old galleon]

based

[old galleon]

if you don't have any of them, and have no plans to go primal in any of them, take earth; the call is useful in seofon raid : ^)

[long tree]

Which is like, better than the other summon set for their element?

By other summon set I mean like the one with Agni in

[old galleon]

oh wait those are the archangels

uhh

all of them are good in that case

my earth recommendation was predicated on them being the primals

[long tree]

Think I'm gonna go... Wind or earth so coin flip time

[summer hornet]

🙏, Argor

Do you happen to remember

[old galleon]

wouldn't suggest buying a sieroticket anymore

[long tree]

There's those new weapons right?

[old galleon]

yes

well, 'new', but they've been out about a year now

but they cost 150 gold moons and there's no other way to get them

unlike something with a sieroticket, where the actually desireable stuff can still be pulled in the gacha

[summer hornet]

I've been holding onto one for over a year lol

[old galleon]

oh

then in that case, first i'd recommend using it on something unsparkable

something like the 000 summon, if you don't end up getting it in the gala

[summer hornet]

Gaaaaaah

I thought I might be free since I got Bubs

[old galleon]

belial/bubs/yatima/000 are the summons in that category

i don't remember if s belial is also in that mix

(summer only ofc)

[summer hornet]

The bulge makes him special

[long tree]

Oh is S Belial good?

[old galleon]

but for actual characters, someone who's extremely desireable but not sparkable on a gala banner

s belial is great, situationally

[long tree]

One more to go

[old galleon]

like i wouldn't call him as universal as bubs or belial, but he's still extremely useful

for starters, he sets a debuff on your party, which enables katze passive in wind

he also sets a counter on your party, which is great in ex+ 0 ca otk, and also enables s kumbhira without pressing extra buttons

people also use his call to go for rng echoes in certain strats

[mental acorn]

she's just like me fr fr

[versed pawn]

nice when u get ruan mei at the last plane and she just upgraded 50 blessings

[long tree]

Me waiting for the new week so I can unlock my Ruan meis skills

[versed pawn]

same prefarmed everything

[long tree]

I love a casual free permanent 36% damage up

[summer hornet]

Spent an hour getting through the event and doing raid battles to get the last gems I needed for another 10-roll, and still nothing

Not the first time it's happened, but MAN does it still hurt like a trucker

[old galleon]

save for a spark and maybe get her during anni?

like grands at least are available every month of the year

[summer hornet]

Maybe

Not sure how willing I am to return to gbf full time, though

But you've got a point about the consistency

P sure molay is Shub-Niggurath, The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young

[old galleon]

always wondered if lovecraft named her that bc he wanted to say the n word or something

[paper spoke]

I have no idea, just going off what got the Knights Templar excommunicated back then due to some French King’s debt

Which was the alleged devil worship of Baphomet

That iirc Molay confessed to under duress

Also given how much the Black Goat’s actual name sounds like that particular slur I just refer to her by her titles

[slow raft]

I also just noticed that, it sounds alot more like the slur in english than in german

[old galleon]

yeah that's why i don't say it aloud lmao

[slow raft]

People can tell me that his fathrr named the cat all they want, lovecraft is never beating the racism allegations

[paper spoke]

Also that the Fish People from The Shadow Over Innsmouth is apparently based on Lovecraft’s horror at finding out he was part Welsh

[summer hornet]

it wasn't bad when we only had a few bosses and characters imo

but now we've got 4, and multiple characters who need multiple amounts of each

[paper spoke]

Also y’know the image people associate with Lovecraft’s cat

Apparently that’s not the cat

[mental acorn]

mfw The Rats In The Walls

[paper spoke]

I just am glad that Lovecraft’s racism is a big part in discussion of his more popular works

Gotta read Dagon though actually

But now I know that apparently being part Welsh was considered by a dude from the early 20th century to be inspiration for a horror fiction story

At least he wasn’t getting awards from Hitler like Henry Ford ig?

https://i.imgur.com/tXwrWDN.png

speak of the devil, got payila in one

continues my standard zodiac streak

second 10 roll gave me another fediel dupe

third gave me nothing

[long tree]

New summon seems very cool

[old galleon]

fourth gave me a rein dupe

fifth gave me nothing

sixth gave me sylph

seventh gave me nothing

eighth also gave me nothing

ninth gave me 2 gold moons, including a michael dupe

and tenth gave me nothing

so the only new stuff i got were payila and sylph

oh right, michael and reinhardtzar are the other rate up grands

so both fire and earth pact weapons are on rate up on this banner

which makes it a pretty good deal, actually

[summer hornet]

ahhh, paylia is water

i impulse rolled, blew my load, and got a whole lot of nothing

i did say those are unsparkable earlier, yes

but i got it anyway, so i don't have to worry

[summer hornet]

true true

I saw it pop up on the sierotix list, but I didn't check the spark list

Like how to do negative dmg on bosses

Like actually slog fest path

It's like the don't bother if u don't have Daniel path or something because even blade with all enhancement and upgraded hits like a wet noodle

I was about to say "how in the world is propagation useless, Dan Hung loves it" but lmao

Blade is just too addicted to destruction, I guess

I'm sure we'll get more multi-skill point units eventually tho

would be the least surprising development in the history of developments

I should probably see about getting it soon myself, but I still have so so so much backlog lol

[old galleon]

i don't remember it off the top of my head

but i think there are four waves? and one of them was in april

okay the page is saying 3 waves (plus a dlc+bonus item), and the first item is listed for february

must have updated at some point since i remember april being listed

The Season Pass Bonus will be released on the same day as the game. Item 1 is planned to be released before the end of April 2024. Item 2 is planned to be released before the end of July 2024. Item 3 is planned to be released before the end of September 2024.

yeah the nintendo store's where i read that a while back

oh right for anyone who cares, both uriel and payila got 10s on gamewith's tier list

[idle grove]

first dlc is february

https://youtu.be/XWXuxfGqy44?si=LwGGuUmOQo4wpZn2

[old galleon]

i did say that, yes

[astral drift]

I went to roll gssr but only had 5 paid sq

Now I don't feel like rolling

[idle grove]

oh I didn't see

just saw you say april

[honest pawn]

when is GSSR

[digital marlin]

10 and a half hours

[honest pawn]

can't wait to get summer abby

:)

[digital marlin]

ew

cant wait to get an kiara(AE) uso
again

[honest pawn]

(I'm pulling on the Oberon banner)

[void cargo]

takerus np is aoe but the arts down debuff is Single target

[old galleon]

so just target the biggest enemy first

anyway, who are people thinking will be the samurai remnant welfare?

[honest pawn]

it'd be really funny if it was Lancer

does the servant silhouette only cover SSR's?

[old galleon]

usually yes iirc

would be funny if they gave us iori

but i'm thinking since they're already giving us saber, possibly fox rider?

[slow raft]

Rider or assassin

[idle grove]

give us small tamamo

[timber sigil]

[old galleon]

the doujins write themselves

[glossy latch]

Ok I have obtained the sword

Now I just need to do the merusea village quests

[runic ether]

theres a lot of them and they are pretty cute

[glossy latch]

Dang

But yeah just need that for the attack boost

[runic ether]

did u get the ultimate overlord r5?

[glossy latch]

Ye

[runic ether]

nice

[long tree]

The quests are also pretty short once you get to the village

[honest pawn]

we need an odysseus buff now

‼️

[slow raft]

Oddysseus buff aint drop yet
❗ ❗

[honest pawn]

don't worry❗ Fate Samurai Remnant collab drops January 7th❗ Listen‼️

[glossy latch]

Huh, neat

But yeah I guess I got Navia (mostly) built now

Stats suck but I cant be arsed to farm relics

[runic ether]

i would prioritize crit rate cdmg and atk% on navia with the uo sword

[glossy latch]

Yeah thats the idea

But I keep rolling the upgrade on the wrong stats >.>

[runic ether]

it be like that

uhhh quick tip on artifact leveling

flowers and feathers are way easier to level crit and cdgm

[glossy latch]

... wait why?

[runic ether]

its how the math works out since they are the 2 pieces most likely to get crate and cdmg

level feathers and flowers then sands then helms and goblets

goblets and helms can be worse than usual since your flowers feathers sands and crit helms will carry your crit ratios way more

[glossy latch]

I see

Also I need to fix up Wrios stuff too 😔

Hes got like 3% crit rate naturally

So Im relying on the 51% from Marechausse and Cryo resonance

[long tree]

Nothing on my pulls today

[runic ether]

yea thats not bad tho

being cryo fixes a lot for crit rate

so u can focus on cdmg

oh u know, the widsith would be a great weapon to get ahold of for you

wrio likes it a lot

decent base atk, good effects

and cdmg substat

[idle grove]

poggers

[old galleon]

based

[glossy latch]

I do have like

100% crit damage

[runic ether]

more cdmg is nice

[glossy latch]

Is Widsith one of the crafted weapons?

[runic ether]

no

its a gacha catalyst

[glossy latch]

Damn

[old galleon]

got a lucky aes drop from atum of all places, so now that's 3 finished

[slow raft]

https://vxtwitter.com/Staryfate_/status/1741543013279510750?s=20

[summer hornet]

If it wasn't for Uriel my whole gachapin+mukku frenzy would have been a whiff

[slow raft]

https://vxtwitter.com/Boun578/status/1741554869281145085?s=20

[idle grove]

yoo

30sq and 10m? qp, very poggers

[old galleon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUr87WUTuII

yeah 2-san, i enjoyed not killing ivan

anyway, 1 rare prism, 1 crystallized lore, 1 holy grail from login rewards

missions yielding a total of 5 tickets and 6 sq

2x mana prisms from daily quests for a week

start dash and returning player campaigns

social media campaign yielding just over 20m qp and a ce

also 30 sq for logging in on the first three days of the year

gssr mentioned

banners divided by np type, servant class groups

shit we all know

holy grail from doing the gssr

showed samurai remnant saber on accident jk it's just koyan of dark

ny campaign after daily reset, no maintenance, it seems

case files rerun mentioned

[astral drift]

any early qol

[old galleon]

not yet

showed the silhouettes for servants this year

chapter 7 announced

and that seems to be it unless he's baiting

and that's it

no early qol

[astral drift]

🥺

[copper steppe]

we’re rich

[idle grove]

I wonder who they could be

[old galleon]

maybe this is the year we'll finally get ciel

[idle grove]

we can only cope

did another 10 roll and no NY servant, so it's time to engage saving mode again until they release a servant I like

[old galleon]

speaking of cope

||hoping samurai remnant event brings musashi out of data lost hell||

[glossy latch]

Did 1 last roll on the current banner since thats the last time I can roll before hitting soft pity

Got my 7th march 7th >.>

I wish youd just be guaranteed the one you dont have in that scenario

[glossy latch]

Also Im guessing the sacrificial catalyst isnt particularly good right?

[long tree]

Hoyoverse 4 stars can be kinda screwed up in that way

Iirc someone got C6 baizhu before getting a single kaveh

[glossy latch]

... bloody hell

But yeah its just really annoying because like

I wanted Xueyi at E6 ideally

I dont have one

[long tree]

Me neither

🤝

[glossy latch]

On the plus side I guess I have March and Tingyun E6d

If only March wasnt already powercrept

[mystic python]

Has a few usages: Nahida and Sucrose use it generally, and Kokomi in specifically Nilou bloom

[glossy latch]

Oh, guess its Sucroses weapon then

[runic ether]

sucrose and nahida really like it

ye

the best part of sac fragments is the colossal em

so any catalyst user that really wants em will like it in general

[glossy latch]

Sucrose it is

Now ... I just save til Arle, huh

Unless I wanna try getting Nahida

But that seems like a long shot

[honest pawn]

5 mins until GSSR right

[honest pawn]

well

[copper steppe]

rolled for koyan got jack instead

guess im a mom now

[astral drift]

[long tree]

My gssr cooked me but at least it's a new character

Got benienma

[rigid pilot]

Wifey and Misty now pressured me. I now have NP3 Mélusine

Highest NP level on an SSR outside of Jean tied with OG Saber

Unfortunately couldn't get Him in that roll but I'll take Strongest Jet Dragon

[honest pawn]

now that GSSR is over, I'm saving for Oberon

Okitan is a nice pick-up

[copper steppe]

im thinking of rolling gssr

[old galleon]

i'm not sure if i'll roll it

i got my primary target a couple weeks ago

[copper steppe]

three knights buster maybe

i really need a archer

[honest pawn]

anyways since I got the New Year's CE I can finally fulfill my promise

[summer hornet]

AYYYYYYYY

Wait have you been holding off on LB4 all this time??

[honest pawn]

yep

saw the ordeal call 2 announcement and decided to finish it off

working on the final fight rn

I'm... slightly terrified at the sheer damage that my karna's been able to output with (afaik) no story buffs

[summer hornet]

Curry Bros forever strong

I'm gonna do an Argor and let you play spot the difference while I go to bed- once I wake up I'll decide whether or not to do GSSR

[old galleon]

i spy with my little eye a fucking edgelord

[summer hornet]

Lmfao that is a recent change, I think I got him from the last GSSR

[old galleon]

so what's the change? np2 shirou?

[summer hornet]

Close, but one off

[old galleon]

wasn't ishtar already np3?

[summer hornet]

Yep! I just grailed her to 100 lol

[old galleon]

oh oky

gonna np5 her?

[old galleon]

they made an ordeal call 2 announcement?

[summer hornet]

Not unless someone gives me a thousand bucks

Np3 is already enough to buster farm against class advantage half the time

[old galleon]

oh it's in ...... spring

so we do realize this whole thing boils down to a gigantic stall fest

like i'm absolutely confident you could completely cut out ordeal call from the story and it wouldn't change anything meaningful

just let them get back to chaldea and finish up the alien god shit

[honest pawn]

lol

just another swallow genji

it is so weird seeing her in my chaldea

[honest pawn]

well

I did the math and I can save up enough SQ for Oberon pity at the end of the year anyways even if I have 0 SQ right now

so I dropped the rest on koyami

[long tree]

Someone on the honkai Reddit had fun

[versed pawn]

boss about to be frozen into the depths of hell

[copper steppe]

reminds me of the time i froze the bug to death

rememberance trolling

[versed pawn]

like remembrance the best path to get through with those dices

effect hit rate is whatever u need to break with hell is other people to guarantee the freeze on the boss

[copper steppe]

blud didnt get a single turn without being frozen

[versed pawn]

argenti got ultet by pela 13 times in a row

pela unironically best unit for remembrance for the last boss

dodge the robots tho they summon their ads after they attack

but argenti and bug summons free ads to freeze and apply hell is other people to the boss

this was probably also my most chill run with this dice

[copper steppe]

i used welt to virtually negate their tur

[versed pawn]

my xueyi needs 2 more crit chance to trigger arena

[copper steppe]

simulated universe is where i can live my most unhinged dreams

[versed pawn]

jo my run was stacked got the 70 % of transaction domains followed by 150 when go into those + double fragments but no blessings

so i bought them all

low tier curios cost me 25 fragments

[copper steppe]

thats nuts

[versed pawn]

yeah because i got 80 fragments back everytime i bought them

sadly the one cheat code is only good with low ammounts of curios

u can discard and regain meteorite and ruan mais pouch every time

[copper steppe]

you can do that?

[versed pawn]

yeah theres a cheatcode that does that

[copper steppe]

lol

[versed pawn]

so u can technically stack cheatcodes to try permanently regain them

but only really works if u have exactly 3 because the choice is a random set of your curios

[slow raft]

https://vxtwitter.com/HarlequinWheels/status/1741859449747447938?s=20

[torn harbor]

what conundrum?

[versed pawn]

10

allready did 12 just wanna do archievements

[torn harbor]

whats your best run so far? for me it was my run with 102 blessings and 32 curios

[versed pawn]

im always arround 60 blessings but had like 42 curios once

[torn harbor]

oh, normally im at like 80

(well at least with the dice i normally use)

[slow raft]

https://vxtwitter.com/Kamumu18/status/1741603017948897520?s=20

[summer hornet]

This is beautiful

[versed pawn]

weak run but remembrance solos these types

Xueyi kinda good her ult deals some brutal thoughness damage

[slow raft]

belated cause i forgot to post it

[long tree]

Nothing today

[old galleon]

https://i.imgur.com/P80lUft.png

so that makes a second percy spook on a new year premium banner

anyway i got 30 draws today and got that, another michael axe dupe, lu woh summon, a random not-so-great summon, and a gold moon

[idle grove]

spoilered for her art but this is poggers

also damn these bitches gay, good for them

also just got michael very pog

[long tree]

Maybe one day I'll get something good the day it releases

[old galleon]

go check their new years scene

its the last strange dice

[old galleon]

it is time

[versed pawn]

that lets u keep the combat boosts after rerolling them

iprobabyl just ignore the mechanic and go as usual

[old galleon]

i added her to my relic buster/erika/s lucio comp, she's doing okay there so far

[copper steppe]

plugsuit 2

[idle grove]

Yeah I'm thinking like

Vajra Payila and S Lucio?

[honest pawn]

I gotta finish Atlantis and Avalon so I can start grail casting

[old galleon]

this poor guy thinks global has grail casting

[honest pawn]

...what's this then

[old galleon]

oy why is my title screen black and not that nice purple monstery bg

there we go

anyway i never have my dates straight anymore

grail casting is either a tunguska thing or an anni thing, idr which

[honest pawn]

well crap

[old galleon]

and if the game would stop putting me through a million data updates i might be able to figure out which

https://i.imgur.com/KJBF1nj.png

there

[copper steppe]

finally our real enemy
||the grand order||

[old galleon]

that said not being caught up beforehand made you miss out on ranmaru

[astral drift]

ayo we have grail casting?

[old galleon]

yes

[astral drift]

just waiting on 2x great succ now

[old galleon]

https://i.imgur.com/nLbqSqQ.jpg

[summer hornet]

Already done one

[old galleon]

multi attack support acquired

(only took one 11 roll; meanwhile, melu still evades me)

[summer hornet]

🫂

[old galleon]

anyway bc i'm still ostensibly saving for s castoria i'm not gonna try to push koyami to np2

oh also i finally got a rama dupe too

i had np1 rama for like 5 years

[honest pawn]

koyami only has one more rate-up afaik and it's next new year's so I'm gonna save up for Oberon and drop what's left over on her

[summer hornet]

You got her earlier, didn't you?

[honest pawn]

yes

but I wanna NP5 her eventually so

[summer hornet]

Ahh, I'm surrounded by Tamamo disciples

Carry on then

[astral drift]

fox enjoyers

[slow raft]

Ive no plans on rolling and ive also finalmy hit the amount needed for pity

[idle grove]

[slow raft]

Bazett cant come early enough

[old galleon]

based

bazett's my next serious not-scastoria-target

probably won't end up getting her, but would be nice

[copper steppe]

damn no luck with koyan

also dobranya came

[toxic cloud]

Pretty solid gssr result
np2 jannu np(5? umu I'll have to check)

[old galleon]

oh hey gssr brought ren back

[slow raft]

Still need to decide gssr

[toxic cloud]

I've been uh playing a bit again. I really should finish lb6

[slow raft]

blue i already have, red i dont want and black i want

[old galleon]

that and you also missed the tunguska story stuff

it comes back as a main interlude later but i don't think the raids do?

granted no one got the ivan raid bc lasagna failed

[toxic cloud]

yeah it's fine I don't really mind

This account is memed for missing every event ever

pog spook off meme single rolls (6 sq) they really do want me back

[old galleon]

ayo

[copper steppe]

im thinking of rolling for three knights arts or buster 1

astrea is a wild ruler

[toxic cloud]

Big fan of three knights arts, only ||void shiki|| is the bad result no? unless they changed something

[old galleon]

wait a couple years and she gets better, yes

[toxic cloud]

Oh so no bad result if youre willing to wait. I went for it bc of muramasa or meluko np2. Jannu np2 is appreciated

umu bride is decent, squirtoria is bonkers, beni is decent

I don't know how new ryouma plays

[old galleon]

pretty sure he's just an arts looper

[toxic cloud]

Thank you castoria

[old galleon]

who has like a hundred other servants in direct competition with him

[copper steppe]

the insta death effect really screws looping

[toxic cloud]

argor I can technically do buster looping but I cba to pour in resources to do it

arts forever bby

[summer hornet]

wait till you start seeing 90+

[toxic cloud]

also hello regi, I'm back with the milk

[summer hornet]

Welcome back, Ren

[slow raft]

Remnant saber brought renren back

[toxic cloud]

I'll raise the buster supports soon

||why's he so skinny feed my mans||

[old galleon]

i should go beat that game

[toxic cloud]

It's a great time

[old galleon]

got it over the holidays and i'm still on chapter 1

so fgo just casually spoiling saber's identity was kinda annoying

[summer hornet]

LMAO I posted it in another server but even Pako hasn't finished the game yet

He got spoiled just like all the rest of us

[runic ether]

this abyss rotation in genshinw as honestly kind of easy

🤯

[glossy latch]

Shame Ill never play her :)

[slow raft]

Sabers stage 2 asc is very funny if you know who they are

[glossy latch]

Also hey Im approaching soft pity on the standard banner again

[copper steppe]

oh yeah ina didn’t reach at the part saber ||stomps on assassin big snake||

[summer hornet]

This is a pretty good summary of my GSSR plotting; purple is servants I want and black is servants I already have

I’m refusing to consider any buster GSSR banner because I have waaaaay too many of them on every banner lmao

[copper steppe]

extra class quick is also tempting since it has melt and some cool servants

[old galleon]

not gonna try to increase ishtar's np level? you lack dedication

[copper steppe]

melt np2

i am one of the so called melt simps

[summer hornet]

Hello, fellow so-called Melt simp

[summer hornet]

Try competing with a whale for Ishtar rolls and then come back to me

[glossy latch]

I dont think I can get much use out of a pyro driver

@runic ether is skyward blade any good?

[runic ether]

yes

[unkempt orchid]

ok but

its yanfei

🥺

[runic ether]

its got like

55% er

[glossy latch]

Ok second question, is it good on any character I would use

[runic ether]

boosts crit rate by 4%

oh yeah for sure

skyward is one of bennett's best 5 star swords

[glossy latch]

It seems to be for a burst-focused on-fielder but idk that I have any of those

[runic ether]

608 base atk + er + crit rate

kaeya could use it if hes on-fielding

jean can use it as an er stat stick

could use it on xingqiu if ur gonna have him on-fielding a bit

though its not the best on him

amazing on bennett though

[summer hornet]

Okay I’m gonna commit to support 1 GSSR

[glossy latch]

I see

[summer hornet]

What’s the worst that could happen

[glossy latch]

Guess its Bennetts weapon then

[runic ether]

nice

[glossy latch]

I had Favonius marked for him but eh, sure

Is it good on Alhaitham?

[runic ether]

its solid on haitham

bennett uses it a lot better though

[glossy latch]

Good to have for the future then

[runic ether]

since the higher base atk is great on bennett and haitham doesnt care about high base atk

haitham also doesnt care about that much er unless u have no er substats

haitham actually uses fav sword very very well

natural on-fielder so he can feed particles on teammates

already building crit rate

low base atk

fuck ton of er sure

[copper steppe]

[runic ether]

but it has the ability to feed team er which is huge

[slow raft]

Might do the same

[honest pawn]

good luck regi and guy

may you be blessed with miss crane

[copper steppe]

im gonna go travel tomorrow so im probably doing that a bit late than you guys

[toxic cloud]

[slow raft]

Ill do it tomorrow

[toxic cloud]

Do it for remnant saber

[slow raft]

And ideally ill get reines

[honest pawn]

ren is BACK

[copper steppe]

for miso soup

[toxic cloud]

hello my son

[slow raft]

Tho miss crane is my second most wanted

[copper steppe]

and rice

[toxic cloud]

I was busy finishing samurai remnant

I can now harness the power of regend

okita dlc please

[old galleon]

i may have done some more yolos on koyami to see what would happen

[copper steppe]

iori found the samurai remnant tm

[old galleon]

and i may or may not have np2 clay boi now

[toxic cloud]

Good stuff argor. Also koyami is a bit of a meme right

[honest pawn]

just another swallow

[old galleon]

she gets used in some comps

[copper steppe]

i already have enkidu np2 on spooks lol

[old galleon]

and i consider her highly valuable in flare marie gauntlet

soi t's not like i had no incentive at all to get her

[copper steppe]

is there any way to make bond farming more efficient

[old galleon]

||that and floofy fox||

[old galleon]

go degen 6ce comps on bleached earth next year

[honest pawn]

I hope Jalter gets a buff, Roast said for the 5th time, I'd love if my NP2 Jalter could get an NP charge

[glossy latch]

Hm, standard 5* in Genshin feel a touch less exciting now that I think about it

[copper steppe]

oh yeah bleached earth

but thats for ordeal call right

[old galleon]

it's post-south america, anyway

i think the first ones are in like april or so next year

somewhere in that april to june range

https://i.imgur.com/osZKL1g.jpg

so i guess that's incentive to finally level his skills

as if being fucking incredible in certain future content wasn't enough

[slow raft]

Tfw there is a threat to humanity

[copper steppe]

threat to humanity on deathwatch

[old galleon]

floofy in hell sweating

[toxic cloud]

though not a must get right?

[old galleon]

absolutely not

[toxic cloud]

[old galleon]

the closest to a must get in this game is castoria

and you can make do even without her

[toxic cloud]

castoria

I'm still barely in lb6

[old galleon]

lewd

[honest pawn]

honestly I'd put koyanskaya/oberon up there in 2nd for must get

[summer hornet]

Castoria is having Thoughts

[honest pawn]

their skills are more unique

[summer hornet]

Ehhhhhh

[honest pawn]

70% np charge goes hard

[old galleon]

there is no actual 'must get' in this game, in the sense that any content released so far is clearable in multiple ways that don't necessitate one specific servant

[summer hornet]

Oberon is invaluable in cases with ridiculously bloated health pools, but Castoria is kind of universally applicable in every single part of the game

[old galleon]

i classify castoria as closest to 'must get' bc of a combination of factors, largely dealing with the later story fights

but again, you can make do without her

[honest pawn]

right

[copper steppe]

cutest magic arsonist

[summer hornet]

Castoria’s busted offensively and defensively, while Oberon and Koyan are busted (beyond busted in Oberon’s case) offensively but have zero value defensively

[copper steppe]

someone was cooking with oberon’s kit

[old galleon]

tbf, offensive value doubles as defensive value (a dead enemy can't kill you)

inb4 jp anni servant introduces some new support who flips things on their heads

[honest pawn]

jp anni is kojirou in underwear

[old galleon]

👀

[honest pawn]

his increased mobility has given him power

[summer hornet]

[copper steppe]

he can kill more swallows

[summer hornet]

…I got Van Gogh

Truly, life is unpredictable

[old galleon]

life has many roads, reg-boy

[summer hornet]

[old galleon]

tbf i misquoted it : ^)

anyway, van gogh isn't bad

[copper steppe]

it was a gogh joke

gogh inhales curse

and then crits everyone to death

[summer hornet]

True

Definitely seen Guy just kinda confuse half the enemies in LB6 and win with her

[honest pawn]

REGI

I'M CHANGING MY SUPPORT TO KOYAMI

USE THE LESBIANS TOGETHER

[glossy latch]

Van Gogh
Lesbians

... que?

[honest pawn]

Van Gogh's a girl and she works extremely well with Koyanskaya of Darkness

thus, lesbeans

[summer hornet]

The lore is that she's only got Van Gogh's name and powers, to make a long story short

[runic ether]

powers?

i didnt know van gogh was out here shooting kamehameha waves

[summer hornet]

Okay they're not Van Gogh's powers

But I'm trying not to get into the outer gods stuff

[runic ether]

oh its some outer gods shit that makes way more sense

[summer hornet]

Gdi

[runic ether]

no genuinely it makes way more sense than 90% of fate lore

[summer hornet]

I was trying so hard not to bring that up because I felt like it'd make it more complicated, but instead it makes it easier to understand

[runic ether]

outer god possessing historical figure

easy

simple

makes about as much sense as other game media

[honest pawn]

90% of Fate lore doesn't matter anyways, all that's important is Shirou was saved from his Fate/stay night

[runic ether]

is shirou the john dark soul of fate
