i think they got scared after hu tao more or less
#Gacha Chat
runic ether
hu tao has some relatively tight combo windows to optimize her dps
and there is a community perception that shes bad as a result
even tho shes probably one of the only strict on-fielders to remain relevant bc her damage is just that high
glossy latch
I mean it doesnt even have to be super technical, Id just like a bit more variety
runic ether
xianyun tao is a really really technical team to know how to do normals charge attack jump cancel short plunge to get max vapes from charge and plunges
and its really really broken
but it requires good amount of skill and finesse and ppl dont really like that
at least
average genshin players dont really like that
runic ether
the reason ppl think neuvillette is broken is for a similar part
glossy latch
Helps it have a bigger appeal
runic ether
the amount of damage u get from neuvillette isnt really higher than other carries
like haitham or tao or childe or cyno or whatnot
but hes just so easy
both to build and play
u cannot mess up playing and building neuvillette
so ppl get much more success with him and thus they think hes broken
nice as neuvillette is hes just never gonna hit proper tao or haitham combo damages
but these 2 characters are harder to play so perception on them falls off
wrio is similar actually. his output is about as good as neuvillette but ppl dont see wrio as "broken and absurd" because getting that damage requires more effort than neuvillette
runic ether
Helps it have a bigger appeal
and yea ultimately its in hoyo's interest to only sprinkle a haitham or tao every once in a while
bc constant complicated character rotations and timings required to get good dps will just make the very casual playerbase to get frustrated
no surprise than xianyun's more popular teams are her more simple ones even tho their dps output can end up lower
glossy latch
Which is unfortunate if you want a bit more depth but oh well
I do enjoy the exploration quite a lot at least
runic ether
yeah honestly chenyu vale and fontaine exploring have been quite good
sumeru exploring too and past regions were p good as well
mystic python
like haitham or tao or childe or cyno or whatnot
Lol who invited Cyno here
runic ether
but they have stepped it up
runic ether
Lol who invited Cyno here
cyno is pretty good dont sleep on cyno

I kinda wish we had more universal traversal mechanics tho
mystic python
Neuv is still one of the fastest chars for speedrunning, alongside Hu Tao, Alhaitham and national variants yea
glossy latch
Give us a grappling hook
mystic python
Cyno is nowhere near as good as that tier tho
runic ether
ehhh i guess. it can depend on abyss
runic ether
similar to xiao where abyss with bulky aoe he just wrecks but otherwise u need to brute force
runic ether
Fontaine has only had 1 hydro character hasnt it
2
glossy latch
Mmh
mystic python
Xiao also has a bit of an aoe drop off now when paired with Xianyun/Furina
runic ether
they realized grappling hooks are good and added them to inazuma but they were clunky then
so sumeru just gives u an easy grapple and fontaine and chenyu vale do improve on it in some capacity
glossy latch
Fontaine has grappling hooks?
runic ether
Xiao also has a bit of an aoe drop off now when paired with Xianyun/Furina
still probs his best team xiao furina xianyun and c6 faruzan
runic ether
Fontaine has grappling hooks?
kinda
more like
cannons and launchers that shoot u around
glossy latch
Oh you meant those
mystic python
Yeah, just mean that his peak damage isn't dealt in aoe anymore
glossy latch
Also no Dainsleif story for Fontaine?
runic ether
not yet
runic ether
probably 4.6 since apparently we are filling the void between sumeru liyue and fontaine (but not all of it)
glossy latch
Oh yeah thatd make sense
runic ether
that area is supposed to have the entrace to khaenri'ah
mystic python
Iirc the current entrance kinda points in that direction
runic ether
it does tho since khaenri'ah is entirely underground its full entrance isnt really easy to grasp
or at least its full size
mystic python
Forgot how annoying the entrance is to get to but yea
Me facing the door directly on the left
runic ether
yeah iirc the leaks say it will be from the top of the jungle and the west of liyue and southeast of fontaine so there will still be some unfilled void
nearer to the desert
glossy latch
I doubt well get the full Khaenri'ah before the relevant story chapter
mystic python
Ye we might get another entrance or 2 and scattered notes like the current one

the version of Sinclair you have there is legitimately one of the most broken units in the game if you use him right
the version of Ishmael you have there is kinda comically bad but it's fine since you have Sinclair
slow raft
I have zero clue whos good here
Sloshmael and bl outis are famously the worst units in the game (tho bl outis now serves the important role of being the 6th bl id you bring)
Dieci yi sang is a decent tank.
Lccb rodion is a niche unit thats ok to bring in blunt heavy squads.
Lccb ryoshu is actually p good.
W meursault is a decent debuffer but i use him more for his support passive than anything else
And as roast already said, nclair used to be the best unit in the game, and is still p high up that list

In limbus do I keep pulling to get more outfits or do I save?
slow raft
Ok so
Since you can get any identity you want by just buying it with shards
Usually what you do is save up pulls for pity
More specifically for pity in the walpurgisnacht events, which are the "limited" banners
However
Since youre just starting out, youre not very likely to have many shards so technically, if the season wasnt ending soon, id reccomend just rolling a bit
Generally my streatgy is to do a 10pull when the new banner is out to grab the 2 star id and then save the rest
long tree
Are the new banner units good?
slow raft
I cant how good the faust onenis, but she read p good
Meurs id is absurdely powerful, but works best when you have 5 other bl units in the team
long tree
Would it be worth rerolling untill I get both of them?
honest pawn
nclair is a good boy, savor him, but assuming you're at canto 1 bc of your level I think you could get a lot of currency to pull with
the team I've been using is bl kim, bl faust, bl yi sang, pequod ish, and pequod heath and sometimes just lining up blue/pride is more than enough for most content
honest pawn
well see pride is the type of sin that blur wgen the line up of in the ocmmand li e it of out resonance and increa se coni pweor and clash better granblue fantasy
slow raft
Would it be worth rerolling untill I get both of them?
personally i wouldnt because i think rerolling is a huge hassle
bl meur rolls higher on skill 1 and 2 with his conditions fulfilled, but nclair is both simpler to use and you can stick him in a lot of comps
and also nlcair is one of the few units that actually gains like no power from uptie 4 which saves a lot of resources
i can see the reroll angle if you want more than one good unit or maybe an EGO but honestly i think you can run with just just nclair and a bunch of fodder until like
canto 4
honest pawn
nclair + 4 meatshields and 7 different support passives works pretty well

oh right, you can only use 5 units in the earlier chapters

If this is a genuine question gameplay path =/= lore path
Gameplay path just indicates how they are meant to be played and what LCs they can use

people gonna learn
it's also a gold gun, so cheaper to +13
oh wait soyuz/kearsarge/yorktown 2 is a very real comp
soyuz buffs herself if there are at least 2 bb/bc/bbv in the fleet and kear buffs yt2 just for existing
When the battle starts, if there is another Eagle Union ship in your Main Fleet: while this ship is afloat, your CVs and CVLs deal 5% (15%) more airstrike DMG (does not stack with the skill "Air Raid Assistance").
soyuz/kearsarge/yt2/guam or anchorage or helena etc...

true tho in that particular case, qq takes better advantage of that passive over seele
anyways i have a little break during work so time to pull sparkle

How's Acheron looking in the leaks, she good?
runic ether
shes fine
she will require some specific teams and set ups
worse than jingliu
actually atm shes definitely worse than qq and dan heng too
runic ether
it wouldnt be a bad time right now
sparkle's banner having qingque and hanya up means u can get some really really powerful characters in a single banner
glossy latch
true tho in that particular case, qq takes better advantage of that passive over...
Dont have E4
runic ether
qq is still really really strong pre-e4
she will just lack the potential 600k nukes
have to settle for 300k nukes

Imagine being a being made of pure anti matter, able to blip through the universe when called, losing to a gremlin because she got a good Mahjong hand

qq mono quantum is somehow even more powerful than i expected

sparkle's banner having qingque and hanya up means u can get some really really ...

I suppose I need to anyway though

Apparently you can level Sparkle mostly without the story

why dont u just roll 2 sparkles in a row?

You and your on command pulls
torn harbor
I got sparkle
digital marlin
Why can't I have that power
digital marlin
Still at work so can't pull
versed pawn
got me sparkle and lightcone but im still at 152 speed but i dont have 0 speed dmg dealers anyway
runic ether
You and your on command pulls
it wasnt on command
lol
i had 30k jades and 10 tickets
and about 40 pity
won my 1st 50/50
digital marlin
That e1 felt very on demand
runic ether
2nd sparkle took more jades and a lost 50/50 to himeko but i wanted her e1
digital marlin
Oh
versed pawn
dunno if she works better with my jing
digital marlin
"Simple as"
To losing pity
versed pawn
i lost my e1 pity to himeko aswell
long tree
I like how losing pity to himeko went from an L to a W purely because of pure fiction
runic ether
casual 200k without hitting weakness (the 80k was the fua)
digital marlin
monke deals a ton of dmg
Just kill the monkey first
long tree
Oh damn next reset I hit standard banner pity

I like how losing pity to himeko went from an L to a W purely because of pure fi...
losing pity to himeko would be a w bc himeko is good civ anyway

Agreed Argor

I'm gonna get the yangqing light cone again let's goooo
versed pawn
but i got clara ligthcone from standart
runic ether
surely
long tree
(have 3 of the damn things)
runic ether
surely nothing will go wrong
versed pawn
so i have all standart banner lightcones now
runic ether
hey nothing did
hello 600k damage
i feel like i have made a mistake. im kind of blowing past things way too fast now in star rail lol
on one hand this is good
on the otherhand, i think im gonna get bored real fast lol
versed pawn
bre i could auto since months i just refuse to do so so i actually get to play
runic ether
im gonna see how things look against sam
versed pawn
maybe i try arround sparkle a bit with xueyi
i dont really have other dmg dealer build except jing and blade
long tree
I wish I had more xueyi eidolons her animations are so good
glossy latch
Im still debating if I should get Claras LC
Or just save for potential rolls in the future
I think Ill slam it after Firefly if I get her early
runic ether
yeah i would wait
i think about it like this: what if sam numbers on his f2p light cone just are as good?
would u then use clara + herta shop + the penacony destruction cone?
glossy latch
Oh I mean Id get it for Clara
But tbh its just a case of "can I get enough rolls without having to dip into it"
Because itd help using solo clara in PF
glossy latch
My Serval is pretty good already
runic ether
are u struggling vs pf a ton then?
glossy latch
Dont you want her to click e a million times?
runic ether
yea
but sam actively kills u for doing so
missed out on qq's own buffs because she had to roll perfect in her first e but she still hit 300k total
because of course she got lucky and hit her e4 on a single roll

idk why but Tonelico might be my favourite version of the big hat + robes wizard design
runic ether
oh thats good
old galleon
aesc is great, yes
all three forms
default is great wizard, second is "what if castoria were more mature", third is morgan in a swimsuit
what's not to like
long tree
Everyone knows the bigger the hat the more powerful the wizard
Just ask big hat "big hat" logan
old galleon
aesc is one of the best servants in the game so that tracks
her problem is being a premium version of a servant archetype that is exceedingly easy to access f2p, between sieg, chen gong, and even caster cu, so gameplay-wise people might not find as much use in her for looping
but she can facilitate multi attacker setups outside of that
her other problem is being released so close to some amazing summer banners
old galleon
unfathomably based

Everyone knows the bigger the hat the more powerful the wizard

old galleon
you have all of castoria/skadi/koyan/oberon
so you're pretty well set
you also have caren so you can quick loop
5* roma can buster loop
not to mention arjuna alter
morgan and ibuki are also good

Mmmm garlic language

hmmm with e5 sampo and e2 guinaifen i think i can run some fun dot teams
sparkle really did help jing yuan a lot wow
long tree
sparkle really did help jing yuan a lot wow
Just saw a video on jingyuan on the Reddit, hitting a 170k aoe and then immediately getting imprisoned before 10 stack LL hits
runic ether
lmfao
versed pawn
Happens
runic ether
i have been pretty impressed with jing yuan damage
but
i cant say for certain if its normal
since the only jing yuan i have access to is e6
long tree
Iirc his e4 and e6 are very good
runic ether
oh i did also get e6 hanya
versed pawn
Lightning lord just does have really high mult and at e1 he hits just a lot more
On aoe it's just people confuse his actual raw dmg on single target vs aoe dmg
long tree
His single target isn't even bad
It's just he's got to make sure he's CC clean or he cries
versed pawn
It's like the early dang peeps going crazy on 100k on 3 targets not understanding that the single target here was 50k and 25k each for the blast dmg
Yes Jing single target ult deals a lot of dmg
runic ether
i do think ppl misunderstand the heck out of him too
versed pawn
He has very high mult on lightning lord
runic ether
i say it as a meme when i say acheron powercreeps him in pure fiction but in general jing yuan is still gonna be insanely good in pf thanks to sparkle
honest pawn
sinclair, consider yourself gripped
versed pawn
E1 just increases dmg a lot Esspecially on 2 targets bosses
versed pawn
Hitting main target for 10 makes side target take like 5
It splits up decently
It just get wonky on 3 targets
But usually you clear side targets with ult + skill
runic ether
yeah far from bad
versed pawn
And good build teams have Jing go like at least 2 times before ll
runic ether
sure other dps released recently/after have gotten more efficient
but jing yuan is still pretty goated
versed pawn
Yeah but u can say that for every dps or support released
versed pawn
Who knows in 3 months new harmony absolutely our damaging sparkle comes etc etc
runic ether
bronya will remain queen
sparkle and bronya are powercreep-proof though
unless they just make their kits again but better
versed pawn
I've heard that so many times in so many games
versed pawn
And powercreep dictates that
runic ether
idt it will be the case tho bc from what we see in genshin hoyo has gotten good at balance generally
versed pawn
Ye it just doesn't matter
runic ether
hsr has had some powercreep but i feel it was powercreep from lack of options
versed pawn
As long u can clear hall full stars it doesn't really matter
runic ether
mhm
genuinely tho the concept of powercreep and such doesnt apply a ton to hsr fortunately
versed pawn
But that doesn't mean they can make a harmony character that may not have the push but makes dmg numbers so high it may make u switch a slot for bronya or sparkle
Anyway archeron waiting room
Have 600 tears and last week sparkle banner should be double mat drop
runic ether
acheron but shes mid until u hit e2s1
versed pawn
u think I will not
versed pawn
Well currently on like 85% cr and like 220 cmdg
runic ether
im on 64 + 147 without an orb or rope
versed pawn
Nvm with the current kit actually at 88-230/240
I just have some free rutilant Arena sets lying arround I can use in the meanwhile
Im only 130 speed tho
runic ether
eh i mean 130 should be okayge
e2s1 can run her with just 1 nihility so u can do ruan mei to speed her up
runic ether
fair
versed pawn
My bronya is 136 and the 2 speed piece removed puts her to 133
runic ether
i dont think ill try her with bronya tbh tho since i am much more interested in e2s1 with double nihility and gallagher
versed pawn
Stupid decimals
runic ether
ahhh the worst
runic ether
oh true actually sparkle would probably be better
versed pawn
And from testing with sparkle arround for now even at 152 speed I have like 100 uptime right now on ult tho may be because of huo huo didn't pay attention
runic ether
at that point just pursue tue last 12 crit rate
*the
100-200 ratio on acheron will be hot
actually would feel like 2nd jingliu
versed pawn
Sparkle lightcone gives 10% and if I get the new set from SU I could overcap my 2%
Anyway with sparkle right now I would be like 2% off
versed pawn
I just like the lightcone
runic ether
fair
versed pawn
Missed the e1 for himeko
runic ether
its a comfy lc for speedrunning ig
ah
i didnt miss the e1
but i did get e1 himeko
but yeah id have gone for e1 before lc (literally what i did)
versed pawn
Like I could get 1 but I'm probably out of stuff pulls after that so I take guaranteed archeron
versed pawn
I did get E0s1 in 40 pulls 
runic ether
im willing to spend money on e2s1 acheron in my case
versed pawn
Punished for greed
versed pawn
I will too spend on e2s1 I just don't want to spend extra extra I alway scan get eidolon on reruns
versed pawn
Didn't pay attention since I just wanted lc
runic ether
goodnight sleep well rerun when
versed pawn
Because I whaled on e6s5 blade and e6 Ruan Mei i have too so many
runic ether
if gn sw reruns with acheron ill be happy if i get it s5 but lose her lc
some math has shown its honestly going to be better in some situations unless u get s2 or s3+ idr
versed pawn
Because of e6 Ruan Mei my pela has a higher kill ratio on PF than my jingliu
runic ether
pela moment
versed pawn
Because anything non boss just pop on a break
versed pawn
Tank pela
Yeah she crazy good
The true blessing was the silverwolf lightcone tho from the event
runic ether
wym tank. shes supposed to run hp/def body and hp/def orb
exactly
my 1st team for acheron will be pela wolf
tbh i have used pela wolf to clear so much content id be surprised if they arent my most used characters besides bronya who is my #1 most used
versed pawn
I have that option too but I have e0 sw
versed pawn
And sw energy regen without e1 is kinda
versed pawn
She's just has the luxury along Ruan Mei to have instant ult on combat entry
runic ether
thats just ruan mei in general
all type res shred goes so hard
big reason i do want e2s1 is that i do wanna do a ruan mei acheron team too
i have a feeling it will go very hard
versed pawn
Nihility healer with debuffs soon
runic ether
gallagher
versed pawn
But he abundance
runic ether
yeah hes a healer
has small buffs and inflicts a lot of debuffs with his ult + normal
versed pawn
I could see a nihility healer that brings like a powered up version of the SU blessing
So your teammates hela every time u attack a debuffers or a enemy takes dot dmg or something like that
runic ether
like a vampire
inflict bleed -> when dot regen hp
actually wasnt there a character concept leak like that?
though iirc it was a hunt character not nihility
versed pawn
Epic7 has like diffrent concepts on what a certain class can do
Like healing teammate with lowest hp on your team with a Standart attack while actually being a dmg dealer

It'd be cool if they went to a world and it's western high fantasy based
Cause we've had western low fantasy, eastern modern fantasy, and now western sci fi

Epic7 take on dots is diffrent to much counterplay they started to give units a ability called detonate to just instantly procc them

have they creeped the queen of PvP yet in e7?
versed pawn
Which one

Spectre something
versed pawn
Specter still see plays but that makes sense she's she is single target immune until being the last one on field
But usually it looks like this
PoV you are about to be cleaved
versed pawn
It's a 121 pity u can reach in 4-6 weeks of saving
versed pawn
Yeah but moonlight was always like this
long tree
Light and dark banners in games is a plague
Why tf are they in separate pools you already have limited units
versed pawn
I got most of my ML 5s from Standart banner
long tree
I think my only light/dark 5 star was from a standard banner free pull
versed pawn
Moonlight Summons are a scam ignore them u save mystics and get more from Standart
I probably have over 400 ml summon and like 3 ml5s from there
Probably 10 from Standart
And the remaining from mystic
I got candy tho and candy is also a very strong pvp queen
They Powercreeped Dark Corvus
versed pawn
They Powercreeped Dark Corvus <:Hahaa:642861303387521034>
And they made a shizo version of yufine I want
runic ether
what were u trying teams wise?
this abyss can be a bit tricky
mostly cus 2nd half semi-requires a bow character
glossy latch
Uhh
Wrio Furina Jean the nun
And Navia xianling bennett xingque
I stumbled on the first one tho
Just straight up lacked the damage
honest pawn
before the season's over I'm gonna try to grind mirror dungeon to get as much crates as possible
wanna try to get Bunny Heathcliff just to round out damage dealers
runic ether
Just straight up lacked the damage
i dont think u do actually
freeze is pretty good 1st half but 2nd half actually has some important requirements
it applies to all 3 bosses
ruin shithead has a point where its spinning that u need a bow character to shoot it out of the animation
wenut needs to have the air balls explode which is best done by a bow character
and the ruin drake's wings can be shot down for a huge damage window
tldr bow
runic ether
its much more consistent with a bow
glossy latch
My Wrios gear needs to be fixed up a bit
glossy latch
And I think I might need to fix up some of Navias stuff too
runic ether
sadly no navia
glossy latch
Maybe get her on her signature relic set
runic ether
funnily enough
xiangling bennett xingque fischl
a very very classic team comp
but fischl works insanely well against all 3 bosses and oz has a chance to shoot them in just the right way to get it done even faster
1st half adjustments... nah i cant think of any. maybe some upgrades in wrio
glossy latch
Eh its fine Ill just get them up to snuff when I can
For now its not a lot of gems Im missing
And Ive got 10k + 18 rolls saved up rn
runic ether
arlecchino funds?
going for weapon too?
cus 4.5 will have a decent amount of primos and rewards to give
runic ether
current leaks say that weapon will be super niche to her
glossy latch
If I get the 50/50 Ill see
runic ether
so yeah skip
unless u do get the 50/50
tho if her weapon is super personalized, c1 may be better depending on her kit
which i believe we will know next week inshallah
runic ether
havent wanted a character in genshin since raiden basically
so i know im pulling no matter what
but i sure hope shes good
glossy latch
No way theyre gonna mess her up
