[glossy latch]

I have a decent piece already, its just on Herta lmao

[runic ether]

oh pure fiction

lmao

[glossy latch]

My main issue is that Im running out of upgrade materials

[runic ether]

tell me about it

[glossy latch]

Or rather, have ran out

[runic ether]

i have

[glossy latch]

Those are a pain to farm

[runic ether]

23 purples

[glossy latch]

But Ive got a few pieces I can try

[runic ether]

5 blues

and 23 greens

*21 greens

[glossy latch]

I hardly ever get CR/CD rolls on pieces nowadays tho

[runic ether]

and frankly like 7 good relics to show for it

[glossy latch]

Time to try Stage 8 and see if I can clear it easily now

Also man Fu Xuan feels immortal

[runic ether]

she is (usually)

i have had various swarm disaster tortorus difficulty runs hinge on the fact that fx doesnt die

[glossy latch]

Very silly character

[runic ether]

ran into a mutated ape once

and qq died to it

[glossy latch]

Ok yeah this feels good, Seele does bonkers damage

[runic ether]

it was no problem though

fu xuan soloed from there

[glossy latch]

Ok yeah mono-quantum feels insanely good now

And I basically havent built my SW yet

(I keep forgetting)

[digital marlin]

Same

[glossy latch]

Seele just kinda shreds

Wait huh

Apparently Boxing is actually Claras best set?

[runic ether]

if ur looking at prydwen they have been smoking fat ones recently

[old galleon]

i remember boxing being a thing at launch

nowadays? ymmv

[glossy latch]

My only guess is its because of her skill

[runic ether]

boxing isnt bad on clara but it is inconsistent

[glossy latch]

Since Clara does a good chunk of damage in her skill

Hmm

Oh I can just run 2/2

I keep forgetting thats an option

[runic ether]

1 sec i asked some tcers lol

[glossy latch]

Im going 2/2 for now anyway since the substats are slightly better

But Ill replace the two Ash Duke pieces anyway since theyre not ideal

[runic ether]

actually

okay

so

tc brings up boxing set atm

4pc boxer is her bis

but 2pc/2pc is not bad

that being 2pc ash duke 2pc prisoner

or an atk% set

[glossy latch]

Not 2 piece Boxer + Duke?

[runic ether]

if u really care about improving clara, boxing is her bis in most scenarios

u can do boxer duke but its not as amazing as duke prisoner

since atk% is nice

and of course

salsotto is her best planar ornament set

[glossy latch]

That I figured, Im already using it

Ok back to 4 piece boxer

Had one slightly better piece for the headgear

But I guess Ill nee to farm Boxer

[runic ether]

huh tho the graphs prydwen is posting arent great

they are putting boxing at 100%

which cant assume as her default set

[glossy latch]

Ok hold on, I got a crit rate one with crit damage substat (I assume you cant get a substat thats already a main stat right?)

[runic ether]

u cannot

this goes for genshin and hsr

besides flat stats

those except for speed can show up in head and hand pieces

[glossy latch]

Levelled everything but the crit damage, fml

Its still better but that was an awful low roll

[runic ether]

https://tenor.com/view/big-oof-size-small-medium-switch-gif-17355313

[glossy latch]

Especially annoying since this was a resin'd piece

[runic ether]

self modeling resin is a lie

ive never seen a good piece out of it

[glossy latch]

Oh well, guess Ill just farm that relic set for a bit, then farm some other stuff

[runic ether]

just "okay enough" pieces

[glossy latch]

I got one really good one once actually

65.8/109

Itll do I think

Its a lot worse than what Seele has, but oh well

I think I should be fine until like

MoC 11 probably?

I think MoC 11 is gonna be the hard cutoff for me rn

Which is fine, its like less than 60 jades every 2 or so weeks

Also I really should build Ratio at some point

[runic ether]

wait i may have fucking lied about only have 7 good relics

i forget how cracked my silver wolf actually is

[glossy latch]

Oh right I remember why I didnt build Ratio

Hunt lightcones are kinda rough

Your F2P options are scuffed if you want to build multiple Hunt characters

[runic ether]

yup

lol

at least his bis set is pretty much unanimously pioneer

[glossy latch]

Best I have is S2 Only Silence Remains

Wait

Is Swordplay any good on Ratio?

[runic ether]

probably not

only silence remains is really good on him at s5

pre s5 its okayge

[glossy latch]

Hmm

What do the TCers say on Swordplay?

... oh wait

Is it because his FuA is random?

Wait no it isnt

Hm

[runic ether]

ah swordplay isnt as good entirely bc only silence remains boost crit rate

ratio also has a fair bit of natural dmg in his kit

he prefers atk% and crit

[glossy latch]

Ah

I guess if I build him its Only Silence Remains then

[runic ether]

yeah it would be better overall unless swordplay is s5 then it gets abit close

do u have topaz?

[glossy latch]

Nope

[runic ether]

if u have topaz she uses swordplay well though she doesnt care for it a ton either

[glossy latch]

Lost the 50/50 on her 😔

[runic ether]

hunt has awful light cones

[glossy latch]

Hm

[runic ether]

not as bad as nihility for f2p at least

[glossy latch]

Tbh Nihility is actually fine as long as you got the event light cone

[runic ether]

nihility has 2 and every single nihility character not named silver wolf or pela want them

gnsw and eyes of the prey are the 2 best for non-wolf non-pela in most cases

[glossy latch]

You have that + Resolution and then the DoT characters want DoT lightcones anyway

[runic ether]

acheron has no light cone

if u dont pick up s1

and u dont have an s3+ gnsw

she will be doing paper damage

[glossy latch]

Yeah Acheron is the exception

Because shes basically a destruction character in nihility

Which means none of the existing lightcones really work on her

[runic ether]

tbf blade was like that too on his release

not a fan of that tbh

it is making me 2nd guess pulling for acheron

cus it isnt like i need her

i have jingliu and qq

id only be pulling bc i love raiden

but she would be a character that rots in my account for a good while

whereas i could pull huohuo and further improve jingliu

or

pull aventurine

and suddenly my ratio topaz team becomes cracked

[glossy latch]

Its an odd choice for sure

Especially because she isnt very Nihility?

Like shes Nihility lore-wise obviously, but its not like that means she has to be nihility gameplay-wise

Jing Yuan is a Hunt Emanator but his character is erudition

[runic ether]

he isnt a hunt emanator

someone else had mentioned that elsewhere and i went to look it up

and he is blessed by the hunt

but he isnt an emanator of it

[glossy latch]

Really?

I assumed every general is a hunt emanator by default

[runic ether]

i thought so too but nope

[glossy latch]

Huh

[runic ether]

hes not an emanator of the hunt

[glossy latch]

Well we still have Black Swan

[runic ether]

its why fu xuan can inherit the title of general

[glossy latch]

Who is confirmed to be an emanator of Recollection iirc

[runic ether]

even though she was gazed upon by nous

[runic ether]

welll

about that

lol

welt thinks that all the members of the garden

at least all the memokeepers

are emanators

but they arent confirmed yes/no

[glossy latch]

Huh

Weird

[runic ether]

so far our only playable emanator

will be acheron

[glossy latch]

Herta

Herta is an emanator of Nous

Im not sure if all Genius Society members are, but shes confirmed to be

[runic ether]

ah right actually forgor about herta

though we are playing a puppet herta

not herta herself

tbh

i would love a 5 star herta

with her emanator powers

but

i wont accept if she looks like her puppet

[glossy latch]

Im not sure its a meaningful difference

[glossy latch]

She shouldnt

She mentioned it looks similar to how she looked as a child, but shes way older than that

[runic ether]

right but she did age backwards due to her own advancements

she aged normally got old and decided to age backwards due to a development she came up with

[glossy latch]

Oh yeah

Im still surrprised they went with the few paths they went with and still kinda blurred the lines

Like Fu Xuan is also a bit of a harmony unit as is Hu Tao

[runic ether]

huohuo

[glossy latch]

Right

Wrong game

Huohuo

Acheron is Destruction in Nihility

[runic ether]

fu xuan and huohuo have some harmony elements

fu xuan also was gazed upon by nous

by all means could have been someone that followed erudition or possibly even became a genius society member

[glossy latch]

Not quite?

The way she interacted with Nous and the Genius Society do is different

She basically got the third eye from Nous, but Genius Society members simply get an opportunity to ask Nous questions

[runic ether]

yeah

but my point being was that fu xuan's path in lore vs gameplay feels super disconnected

she wants to be a general of the hunt

was gazed upon by the erudition

but she is preservation

and her gameplay has harmony elements

[glossy latch]

It kind of makes sense with her ideals tbh

Her whole thing is about how she wants to protect the Xianzhou moreso than hunt the abundance down

Its a very preservation mindset

[runic ether]

hmmm i guess

[glossy latch]

Like that one I can guess

What I struggle with is half of the nihility characters

[runic ether]

i know some ppl will say "its because ix doesnt care"

[glossy latch]

Thats a very gameplay and lore diverge kinda deal

[runic ether]

but that does feel like a total cop-out

[glossy latch]

Sampo is elation but ok, not a path we have

[runic ether]

and yeah the gameplay

[glossy latch]

Pela is more preservation in her mindset though

[runic ether]

100% doesnt fit the lore

[glossy latch]

Luka doesnt feel Nihility at all

[runic ether]

guinaifen also elation

[glossy latch]

Welt I can see though

[runic ether]

not by path but by lore

just how she acts

she would be a great masked fool

luka feels like they wanted a hunt character

[glossy latch]

Welt is the only one who feels Nihility-appropriate besides Acheron

[runic ether]

but physical hunt 4 star?

already exists

[glossy latch]

Black Swan is recollection

[runic ether]

kafka

cant think of another path for her

tbh

she does have a very "doesnt matter" type of attitude

[glossy latch]

I forgor Kafka

Yeah no shes Nihility

Specifically passive Nihility

[runic ether]

silver wolf somewhat fits nihility

but only in the sense that she never cared exactly what group picked her up

she was clearly the most talented person in punklorde for a moment

says so herself

the galaxy rangers

the ipc

the nameless

whoever had gotten to her 1st to get her off punklorde she would have gone with

in her case it was the stellaron hunters and she just went along

also a somewhat passive type of nihility

though she doesnt fit it super super well

[glossy latch]

Yeah shes more elation really

Her mindset is just "I dont care as long as its fun"

But again, Elation isnt a path we have access to

Which I get why, but its also awkward because a good chunk of the cast is very elation

[runic ether]

wish they had given themselves an avenue to add more paths too

genshin clearly had dendro in the backburner

they just had no dendro characters

dendro enemies appeared and such

[glossy latch]

Tbh with how paths are already blurring

They kinda have that avenue?

[runic ether]

hsr doesnt feel like it can add new paths without having it be weird for older characters

[glossy latch]

Focus on gimmicks over major theme

[runic ether]

cus it affects past and future characters

like if they release an elation path for characters

sampo, sw, and guinfaifen are obvious additions to it but they wont retroactively add them to this path

sparkle as well

and any future elation characters

[glossy latch]

Ironically they have an edge over Genshin here since they have already done "reprints"

[runic ether]

if the focus on it is like sim universe?

follow ups

[glossy latch]

You can just make new Sampo/Sparkle/SW

[runic ether]

oh yea they can do so but

it is still awkward with older characters

[glossy latch]

For sure

Especially since that would be a lot of character slots used up

Sampo has the best shot since hes only a 4* so far and from what we know a popular character

[runic ether]

i fully expect all the stellaron hunters to all get new versions at some point too

[glossy latch]

Hmm

Im not sure on all

Kafka almost certainly

Blade I think is a 50/50

The rest I think are unlikely tho tbh

[runic ether]

itd be pretty free/easy money to make new versions of em

and its not super hard for them

sam can get mech upgrades

[glossy latch]

I mean I think its thematically difficult

IL was Dan Heng accepting his past with all that came with it

But SW is just kinda ... well she SW

There isnt really much thematically that can happen

[runic ether]

silver wolf may be a bit tough but her aether editing technically means

she can kinda do anything

[glossy latch]

Blade just wants to die and I dont think thats gonna change

Sam ... is tough

Depends on what Sams little arc is gonna be

[runic ether]

it will depend on how they go through

yeah

lol

penacony arc

[versed pawn]

Gonna use rutilant on Archeron until I find better pieces of the new set

[glossy latch]

Kafka is the only one where I can easily see it

[versed pawn]

It's gonna be hard

[glossy latch]

Because Kafkas motivation is that she wants to change

[runic ether]

i can see a blade nihility version

[glossy latch]

Though I struggle to imagine what Kafkas reprint would be

[runic ether]

similar for silver wolf i can easily see them do an erudition or hunt silver wolf

actually

harmony would probs be better for wolf?

kafka would probs be hunt

maybe destruction

[glossy latch]

Ironically I was thinking Preservation for Kafka

[runic ether]

that is something i can see both silver wolf or sam do

sam for

penacony spoilers

||firefly's wishes to protect her way of life outside of being sam and wishing to stay alive/the same over time||

and for silver wolf, aether editing can kinda let her do whatever

though she feels like someone who is more aggressive

so maybe not entirely preservation

[glossy latch]

My reasoning is basically that Kafka rn lacks the ability to truly emotionally connect to people and care for them beyond a purely pragmatic "youre more useful to me alive" kinda deal

If she changes, if she can experience fear, its almost certainly fear of losing someone

And the desire to prevent that

Which is very preservation

[runic ether]

hmm i can see that

[glossy latch]

SW I think is just too static a character to get a reprint

Its more likely they make outfits for her

[runic ether]

we will see

[glossy latch]

I dont even remember what Elio offered SW tbh

[runic ether]

i am still a bit upset we dont have that nice dress march used in game

i dont believe we know

for kafka im p sure it was a good time

for blade it was a way to die

for sam its a way to live

[glossy latch]

For Kafka it was fear

He promised to show her fear

I think?

Maybe Im misremembering

[runic ether]

but idt we know what the trailblazer or silver wolf were offered to by elio

[glossy latch]

||Since shes a Devil Hunter||

I mean we also know nothing about TB during their time with the Stellaron Hunters

[runic ether]

i dont think we actually know what elio offered kafka actually

[glossy latch]

Tbh Im not 100% on it

Also, I wonder when well see Elio

||Since his design was leaked he might show up at the end of Penacony?||

[runic ether]

i feel like they should let elio cook for longer

[glossy latch]

I could see them introducing him but leaving things cryptic

Like Sampos monologue at the end of Belobog

Thats a very Trails thing to do

Maybe we even only get his voice

[runic ether]

voice would be fine

i think letting elio's design cook longer does feel important

[glossy latch]

Btw what does Aventurine do kit-wise?

[runic ether]

e makes a massive shield

[glossy latch]

Ive heard hes good but skipped on the details

[runic ether]

ult is single target and inflicts a debuff

anyone hitting that enemy with that debuff does increased cdmg

enemies hitting his shields will tick up a counter

and once the counter hits 7

he does a fua

[glossy latch]

Huh

So kinda Fu Xuan esque?

[runic ether]

yeah though is damage is actually relevant

his basic attack scales off 100% of his def

and he boosts eff res rather than fu xuan's crit rate + eff res immunity 1x

he also gets a ton of raw crit rate from his talent

for every 100 def over 1600

he gets 2% crit rate

up to 48% iirc

[glossy latch]

Huh

[runic ether]

and when a shielded character launches a fua

he gets blind bet as if the ally was hit

triggers max 3 times per aventurine turn

[glossy latch]

So basically really good but even better in a FuA team

[runic ether]

yes

he works by himself

oh right his ult also has a hance to give him 1-7 points of blind bet

bc lol

[glossy latch]

Ill have to pick him up on his rerun then

[runic ether]

if he does trigger a blind bet through his talent he grants a mini shield that does stack

and ascencion 4 is on battle start gives a shield equal to 100% of his own skill's shield strength for 3 turns

ah right and all his shields last 3 turns

he also has base 106 speed

which is quite notable

bc aventurine is actually built like a dps

[glossy latch]

Huh

[runic ether]

focusing a ton of def%

ofc

but u want speed

[glossy latch]

Yeah Ill have to get him on a rerun

But I have to skip for now since I want Firefly

[runic ether]

def%/speed/imaginary/def% is safe

though err can help but i think def% will be better overall i believe

he gets quite a bit of energy from his normals and his fua

[glossy latch]

... wait I just realised is he the Childe of Star Rail

||He even has the transformation in the trailer||

[runic ether]

yeah lmao

the childe comparisons came early before ppl knew of that

but after that transformation in the trailer hes basically childe

yeah hm okay ill give it a shot to pull for acheron. im not inspired to pull for her lc

but if i get acheron, i grab her lc

if not im gonna get aventurine

thatd be the quota of 2 busted sustains

if i can ill pick up huohuo later

cus she is still really good with jingliu

but otherwise im gonna run aventurine topaz ratio ruan mei and that team will be really damn good

and aventurine is acheron's best support atm anyways

since he can run planetary + has a debuff on his own ult

[glossy latch]

Ill probably just pick up characters based on how fun they are now

I do need to get a second sustain some time for the DoT team

But the team does fine as is

[runic ether]

that is tough since p much every character so far has been fun so far lol

only a few 4 stars have been kinda boring?

[glossy latch]

And I dont wanna risk Firefly for Aventurine

[runic ether]

like

oh yeah for sure

go for sam

no matter how recommended it is to pick up a broken sustainer and such

it is better to pick up who u find fun

tho the reason i always recommend picking up a support/sustain is bc they will be universal more or less

a dps comes and goes

but a fu xuan will remain forever

[glossy latch]

Yeah Fu Xuan was a huge pickup

Genuinely insane character

Hm

I should build Lynx probably

Shes better than Natasha isnt she?

[runic ether]

yup

by a lot

do u have any lynx eidolons?

lynx e4 is actually like baby huohuo without the energy gain

but she becomes a very real sustainer

[glossy latch]

E1 only

[runic ether]

shes still better than nat

that is the one thing i will criticize star rail for

only launch 4 star that really is good is qq

everyone else has fallen off or been powercrept outright

[glossy latch]

Tingyun?

Also Pela

Sampo in DoT and Herta in PF

[runic ether]

pela for sure

herta did get better

i forgor about her

[glossy latch]

Idk how Asta is nowadays

[runic ether]

tingyun is amazing but the crazy thing is

that shes absolutely been powercrept by ruan mei

same with asta

asta has been blown out of the water by ruan mei

theres 0 reason to run asta if u have ruan mei

and given what we know of robin

i can see tingyun just not being necessary

[glossy latch]

I mean yeah

Theyre not repeating the Pyro Archon mistake

[runic ether]

https://tenor.com/view/koffa-genshin-impact-bennett-gaming-mondstadt-gif-3906475569225093699

xingqiu is also fucking insane

fischl

beidou

kaya

xiangling

lisa is busted too

noelle has only gotten stronger

what do u call reverse powercreep

where a newer 5 star unit(s) get worse than the older 4 star?

well not worse

but gets powercrept by the f2p option

[glossy latch]

... theres a term for that

For reverse powercreep

I cant recall what it is

[runic ether]

right i feel like i knew there was a term

but idr it

but yeah poor itto

as much good as chiori did for itto, it also further buffed noelle

noelle chiori gorou furina is better than whatever itto cooks

and shes aoe

like it couldnt be more ittover than it is

not that he doesnt has respectable and good damage

[glossy latch]

I think its "powerdip"?

[runic ether]

but noelle is just better

[glossy latch]

Or "Powerseep"

[runic ether]

we see arlecchino coming out and her bis teammates so far?

beidou, xingqiu

bennett

[glossy latch]

Tbh I have no idea what Noelle does

[runic ether]

noelle is a geo hypercarry

[glossy latch]

Isnt Chevreuse pretty good for Arle?

[runic ether]

chev will be great for arle yea

noelle is a def converter like how hu tao is an hp converter

noelle takes her def and adds it to her atk to buff herself

e pops a shield that also grants noelle a period of time where she heals the whole team

and her burst gives her a huge range with geo infusion

she is c6 dependent

but thats just for her damage to skyrocket

[glossy latch]

Also, slightly off-topic but

https://preview.redd.it/hnlfgtik3woc1.jpg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b181254a8847997bb9cfe4599ff2039e85f6d229

[runic ether]

noelle does amazing with crit rate and dmg % buff

[glossy latch]

Rare instance where a fan redesign really is just better tbh

[runic ether]

wow that is so much better

[glossy latch]

Yanfeis outfit just doesnt fit her being a lawyer

[runic ether]

it is a cute outfit

but it doesnt scream lawyer

though she is a legal advisor

[glossy latch]

It looks more like a jester

[runic ether]

means she hasnt passed the bar yet

but yeah noelle basically got like

or has been getting

yun jin which buffs normal attacks which noelle appreciates since her normals have huge range

gorou of course

which buffs def just by existing

and then furina

which gives

dmg % and lets her run marechausse hunter which grants crit rate + buffs normal + charge attacks

buff after buff

and she fully heals the team

so she fully stacks fanfare

[glossy latch]

Wild

[runic ether]

and her aoe is massive

the claymore spin to win attack has tech

if you menu while doing it, u dont have to hold it down and can keep spinning until ur out of stamina

or u an do normals for more controlled damage

but u rarely need it bc her shield is insane

also her ca will guarantee heals

her her teammate flexibility is also just great

she will usually want a 2nd geo for her hypercarry teams

[glossy latch]

@unkempt orchid btw

[runic ether]

chiori to let her focus on better single target + aoe, gorou for raw dps, yun jin for xq/yelan/fischl driving

but then u can do furina + yelan/xq

furina fischl

furina xiangling

furina bennett

furina beidou

furina kaeya

furina rosaria

its basically furina + x

where x is whoever u want/need to shield break

itto struggles with that a lot

[unkempt orchid]

u say rare like every yanfei fandesign isnt instantly better

smh

he's (unfortunately) not too busted and I don't run tremor

so I can safely trade with R Corp Heathcliff now

[slow raft]

will fit well in my tremor team tho

im interesting what other amplitude conversions there will be

also, raising the max level for identities to 45 when im not even done with having all of em at 40 is just cruel

[honest pawn]

true

I need to grind mirror dungeons for the last like hundred egoshards I need

so I can get R Corp and also uptie 4 him

[honest pawn]

btw this is a buff for ahabmael

THE BUFF LIES WITH YOU, ISHMAEL

[slow raft]

how so

also, i see youre done with canto 5 then

[honest pawn]

mayhaps

[honest pawn]

now when I fight level 45 enemies in mirror dungeon she won't lose sanity if she gets killsteal'd

it's a small thing for me but it bugged me

[slow raft]

i think youll find that theyll simply raise the level of the enemies aswell

[honest pawn]

NO

YOU'RE LYING

arle buffs

unlisted change: bond of life consumed every .03s through her normals

[long tree]

How significant are they

[runic ether]

permanent 40% pyro damage in combat

her charge attack is big mobility (maybe?) we have to see how it looks

and her ca as well will just always full heal her unless something is up

bol consumption change also means her normals will for the most part always be pyro infused in your average rotation

but yeah

good changes overall

with a pyro goblet she is at 86.6% pyro damage bonus from the get go

if using bennett with her pyro goblet will be good if not or using furina an atk goblet pulls ahead fast

rotation for arle now heavily benefits going eq -> xq qn1e -> bennett qe -> kazuha hold e p q -> arle normal combos

[glossy latch]

Does this have any combat relevance

Or is this purely exploration

[runic ether]

might have some combat relevance since it travels a bit faster than mona dash

and its on ca

so can help chase some enemies

[glossy latch]

But I assume no cancels into anything?

[runic ether]

should be able to cancel into dash or more normals

maybe e and q if they are generous

adam is actually halfway decent for a suptixable, while g hal mal speak for themselves

everything else is whatever

[idle grove]

my 10 rolls

[old galleon]

is that your second or your third scepter?

[idle grove]

second

[old galleon]

then you're one away from peak dirt lord

(assuming hrunting i guess)

[idle grove]

probably

I have more than enough to buy them

[old galleon]

the idea is hrunting mh in a class like berserker (with ultimate mastery) or glorybringer (again with ultimate mastery) along with 3 landslide scepter and other good stuff for good burst in raids where you want to burst, or hrunting in yamato for harder v2 fights

weapon's just that good, but it is also a huge commitment

[idle grove]

I'll have to look into it more when I plan on playing consistently again

or get my third scepter

[old galleon]

https://gbf.wiki/Advanced_Grids/Titan#Hrunting

plenty of stuff there whenver you get around to it

just note the opportunity cost of 150 gms

[idle grove]

I have 400 I'll be fine

[long tree]

Poggers I'll take it

[old galleon]

good lord

yatima's the obligatory fantastic burst summon whose name isn't beelzebub, and your second harmonia is just an instant slot in basically all light comps but the ones purely dedicated to ca

[old galleon]

it's fair because summoning servants the way they do is its own brand of bullshit that might get mc a sealing designation or some shit if it were ever known to the mage's association : ^)

[long tree]

Mages association: "...what the fuck do you mean you've summoned rulers, multiple grand servants, former beasts of humanity and CURRENT beasts of humanity????"

[old galleon]

yeah the implications of summoning draco are just a little bit dire

no big deal

only sodom's beast, nothing to fear

[rigid pilot]

Pretenders are also super SUS for mage's association

GIVE ME LIBERTY GIVE ME FIRE GIVE ME WORLD ENDER OR I RETIRE

[old galleon]

why do you need world enders?

[long tree]

I just keep getting them

I cannot escape them

What revenant weapon should I get

[copper steppe]

the current plot in jp is in fact alaya being tired of our shit

[old galleon]

which eternal do you want

||revans weapons aren't the same thing||

[old galleon]

good ol' ordeal stall

[long tree]

Oh then which one of those do I get

[old galleon]

with the disclaimer that all of them are pretty bad until you can awaken them

the ones i see most recommended are either schrodinger, fang of the dragonslayer, or forbidden agastia, for different reasons

https://granblue-advisor.tumblr.com/post/744515824015048704/game-tips-10th-birthday-weapon-trades

can check that for more detailed suggestions

extinction blade is also listed as a good pick, but i probably would put it below the three i mentioend for not having an omega mod or other powerful option for non-primal while non-awakened (it's literally just mentioned as a stat stick)

i'll also note that both fang and agastia have downsides if you care about that (the former applies a 5% hp cut every turn that you'll need to outheal for longer content, while the latter has bloodshed, which applies a 20% hp cut at the start of the fight)

as for the two i haven't mentioned yet, sette di spade is a great weapon....when you have dupes

since you don't have copies of it already, getting just the one won't have too much impact

and symmetria is just lmao

garrison and tempering are good weapon skills

the problem is that they're both boosted by zeus, not lumi

extinction blade at least has shit taht'll work in omega

[long tree]

I thought Zeus was good

[old galleon]

zeus is good

but you're not playing zeus

as with any of the other optimus summons, primal is an enormous investment

https://gbf.wiki/Advanced_Grids/Zeus#Transitioning_to_Zeus

[glossy latch]

Man farming for CR/CD sucks

[versed pawn]

It always does

[glossy latch]

Im just trying to upgrade my planar relics at this point for clara

And it still sucks

[copper steppe]

https://vxtwitter.com/R_g_jol/status/1769743222694117863?t=ZsN5BzVT7ZsIJKMyQ1p5nw&s=19

[versed pawn]

I've been trying to get blade upgrades for months on the planar relics

Like he looks good already but he can look better

And New units are in the way

Hence I have to skip to actually get the units where I like them too

[glossy latch]

My Clara is just kinda eh, and I wanna get her up to snuff

Seele meanwhile is already doing mad damage

[summer hornet]

Y'know, I'll take it

[idle grove]

oh cosmos pog

[old galleon]

yeah cosmos redeems that set of pulls

[summer hornet]

Bubs dupe doesn't really do anything right now, I assume

Also I do need to grab the revans siete sword before I forget lol

[glossy latch]

Hm

My DoT team seems to be lagging behind a tad

Oh I didnt max them all out

Duh

[versed pawn]

I have 600 tears and prob farm all archeron mats anyway

Actually mostly done

Probably can chill for a while afterwards

[glossy latch]

Hmmm

I wonder if Ruan Mei is better than Sampo or Luka in DoT

[runic ether]

kafka swan ruan mei sustain is meta

[glossy latch]

Yeah but I dont have Swan

[runic ether]

kafka sampo ruan mei sustain then

its probs more damage

just bc of how broken ruan mei is

[glossy latch]

And I think without Swan you dont get the 3 DoTs as easily for the max boost from prisoner

Hmm

Ill try it some time

[runic ether]

i think u might still be able to get there but yea should try and tune it

ill see if i can ask around

[glossy latch]

Actually

Hold on I think it might work

If her uolt and FuA shock are treated seperately

[old galleon]

if you don't have him at 3* or higher yet then you can save a sunstone by using one of the dupes to uncap your original one

if you have him at 3 or 4* already, just save the dupe

they've done some fuckery regarding dupes with higher order optimus uncaps, there's nothing saying they won't for providence uncaps in the future

[old galleon]

sette di spade is like the second to last one i'd recommend getting from the ticket, after symmetria

[summer hornet]

But beyond Super Saiyan wind grids seem to run like 5-6 copies of the siete sword, from what I've seen, no?

[old galleon]

sure, there are grids that run a bunch of dupes of sette

that's the whole point, you run dupes of them

the ticket only yields one, unawakened at that

if you're still set on getting it, it won't brick your account or anything

but it won't provide as much immediate impact

both fang of the dragonslayer and forbidden agastia have omega mods on them (albeit with some notable drawbacks), schrodinger has ca supp, and even extinction blade has crit supp if you're running crit and don't have 2 crimson scale

in contrast to those four, both of sette's skills scale with how many swords are in grid

which is why you always see sette run with dupes where possible

since those ramp up

thus, the argument i'd make for sette is that it saves you a little grinding later down the road for your sette grids

which is non-unique, since you can make the same argument for any of the other options

[glossy latch]

Ah fuck the Ruan Mei team is really good

[glossy latch]

Oh uh

How does the Sam Bossfight work?

[runic ether]

you attack him until he dies

try not to click skill too many times unless u can nuke him

[glossy latch]

He seems to have a lot of damage res?

[runic ether]

until he pops his flames

[glossy latch]

Hmm

Also I can beat MoC 12, but I cant 3* it

Well maybe I can if I optimise teamcomps

And figure out Sam

But 60 jades aint worth it tbh

Hate how Ruan Mei is better than 3 DoT tho

[versed pawn]

% dmg increases go brrr

Acheron is ||absolutely killer... and DEFINITELY an Emanator of Nihility||

||Duke Inferno is barely even a footnote lmao||

[runic ether]

black swan w riz

rizz

damn she cut inferno's head clean off

[glossy latch]

Good lord this is gay

Huh

||So the Nihility is ... stronger than other Paths?||

[runic ether]

this is a trailer detailing what happens when u hear someone say "i can fix her"

[glossy latch]

||It feels weird that an emanator who barely has control over her own powers would so effortlessly overwhelm one who clearly has been in the game for some time||

[runic ether]

||i have a feeling anyone who becomes an emanator of nihility becomes infinitely stronger than any other emanator because nihility wouldnt care about how much of ix's power they use. ergo she can very likely tap into most of ix's power||

that said

||i do think its very likely that she doesnt use it actively. its just a subconscious thing||

[glossy latch]

||Im actually wondering if she really is nihility||

[runic ether]

||she is. she was mentioned as such. though i can see that its a case where nihility and finality are way more closely related than we thought||

[glossy latch]

Maybe thats what it is

||But this sequence felt way more finality than nihility||

||Like I dont think Nihility would really be terrifying to observe, it would just render you inert. But Finality, the end of things, that feels way more terror-inspiring?||

[runic ether]

||yeah with all that killing that happened once acheron got control of the dance. the birds she killed, the panther killing the gazelle, the bear killing the rabit and such||

[glossy latch]

||It felt more like it symbolised the hunter becoming the hunted||

||But Nihility shouldnt really be hunting?||

[runic ether]

||well yes but thats my point. it didnt feel like a nihility case||

[glossy latch]

||Nihility might destroy whats in its path, but it wouldnt go out of its way, it doesnt care after all||

Hmm

||Maybe she is a double emanator||

||And perhaps thats why she is so odd||

[runic ether]

thatd be wild

[glossy latch]

It would but checking it, I dont think there is anything that would contradict

[runic ether]

nothing in her leaked voice lines or lore stories would imply that

but

||it also very likely could be that ix and terminus are one and the same since terminus is said to move forwards and backwards in time there must have been an origin point for terminus and that point was likely nihility||

||and since acheron is an emanator currently active in an era where ix and terminus both exist she might be drawing 2x power||

[glossy latch]

Huh

That could be it

... oh very wild guess

||What if Finality is Nihility after it absorbed Destruction?||

||Since we know sometimes Aeons can subsume other Aeons||

[runic ether]

ohhh

the thing to see will be

||if terminus has its own emanators or assigns them||

[glossy latch]

||Plus that would possibly also explain Elios whole deal, maybe he wants to avoid a future where that can happen, so we are the wild card in his plan||

[runic ether]

||if its also a case where terminus doesnt care for that since everything will be reaching its end, then itd make more sense in my eyes that terminus is just the future version of ix traveling forward and backward||

[runic ether]

||very true and likely the reason it happens is that elio's prediction has us clashing with nanook. in a potential original timeline, we win but nanook is consumed by ix and they become the finality. elio is looking to instead have us win more decisively or absorb the destruction with another path instead to prevent ix turning into terminus||

||and then in that same vein, terminus wants to guarantee the end and thus moves backwards in time to ensure the true finality of all things||

[glossy latch]

Hold up

Read the description

The description has some wild implications

||We are 100% dealing with something related to Terminus here||

||The fact that the planets, their past and future all got erased at once just screams Finality to me||

||And Acherons sword might be an edict edge, and we see a shot of her in what looks to be a japanese-inspired world in the visions||

[versed pawn]

||She can erase my past and future ||

[runic ether]

oh yeah this is

taken directly from acheron's story lore bits as she ascends iirc

[glossy latch]

Is it?

[versed pawn]

Also with acheron we can finally overworld in a fast way

I will have unlimited stuff

[runic ether]

i believe so

yes

[glossy latch]

Didnt see that yet so I cant say

[runic ether]

hmmmmmm actually no

this is new

[glossy latch]

But it definitely reads to me like ||Acheron might indeed be Finality||

||She is probably from those worlds, and her ascendance destroyed those worlds||

[runic ether]

but it serves as a good prelude to what happens in takama

oh actually u know what

[glossy latch]

||In fact, Im wondering if maybe she isnt just an emanator of Finality, but in fact is the Finality?||

[runic ether]

i was going to get there lol

[glossy latch]

[runic ether]

||we know she had contact with ix due to the travels she had with frebass||

[versed pawn]

Ye LAN used to be kinda normal dude aswell right

[runic ether]

||but what if she was already finality/terminus before that meeting?||

[glossy latch]

All Aeons were someone or something before they became Aeons

Nanook was a survivor of the swarm disaster

Akivili just some guy who liked travelling and messing with things

[glossy latch]

||Could be. Plus it'd line up with the cycle thing||

[runic ether]

"Frebass, are you still going to the depths of IX?" The question comes from her companion who is always carrying a long blade. She is a good companion, but no one knows where she comes from.

The little Nameless hides inside her bulky diving suit. A long pause later, she hands the companion a slightly burnt marshmallow, her eyes narrowed like the silhouette of a fully opened sail:

"Of course — because I will walk on a road deeper and further than Akivili's!"

[glossy latch]

||... wait if she is the Finality, and the Finality is the only thing that experiences every loop, is that maybe why she has the weird comments where its random, and the knowledge that you could've answered differently?||

[runic ether]

so frebass' companion was acheron

acheron's comment on being reminded of someone when we first meet her

she is remembering frebass

no one knows where she came from

[glossy latch]

Because no one remembers ||Izumo||

||Which I am 99% sure shes from||

[runic ether]

yeah she is from there given that we only ever hear about this place from her

Therefore, the little Nameless remembers the smile she gave from the bottom of her heart when the girl with the sword took the marshmallows for the final time.

"I never thought I would meet anyone similar to me. You've walked so much further on this road than me.
Therefore, you will surely walk with me till then end, right?"
"Of course. Our end has already been determined... However, just like you said —
Even though I may turn into a shallow puddle of dead water in the end, there is still a lot I can do on my journey toward that moment. Therefore, no matter what, I have to go try it—
— Because I will walk on a road deeper and further than Akivili's!"

interestingly enough, acheron went with frebass into ix

this doesnt negate any other theory too

||ix could turn into terminus whose origin is acheron||

||given that she went into a black hole with a distorted sense of time/space, she walked out an emanator/aeon||

[glossy latch]

Mmh

||Yeah I am fairly certain were onto something, theres also the "great pitch-black sun" part||

[runic ether]

The vast void looms near the end of the vivid memories, yet she suddenly sees a dash of crimson blinking briefly into existence in the center of the pitch-black world.

[glossy latch]

||Which is 100% a black hole. And the one we see in her ult is not IX||

[runic ether]

this was right before acheron caught up to frebass

acheron was able to cleave her way into ix

to reach frebass

and on frebass

i dont believe frebass is dead

its very likely frebass ||is/was an aeon||

i keep thinking

could frebass ||have been a possible emanator of the trailblaze?||

||its not super relevant if she is or not but its possible as well that frebass was a form of akivili after the disappearance||

without knowing the timeline of takama

and when the pioneer diver of dead waters set takes place in

its hard to get a good idea

[glossy latch]

Yeah, a lot is open

Im guessing we wont get a resolution for ages lmao

[runic ether]

she had heard stories about akivili

akivili is definitely one of the oldest aeons

so that means little

and again its interesting that acheron followed frebass into ix

but she was stated to have appeared by cutting into the center of the black hole

[glossy latch]

Meaning that, for some reason

She couldnt get in normally?

[runic ether]

from what we can assume

||this was the moment that acheron was the emanator powers from ix||

||but its very likely that she was the finality to begin with and the only reason she was able to claim these powers was because ix will become terminus as a result of this encounter in the center of ix||

[glossy latch]

||Im not sure, the crimson flash seems to be her sword, which I beleive was already crimson at that point||

But we also really dont have much to go on

[runic ether]

||yeah it was. the crimson flash is acheron but there is a lot we dont know of this story too because acheron did follow her all the way up until it came to diving into ix||

but from what we know of the pioneer set

only frebass went in

it was only after she had experienced death 14 days and 14 nights

as she finally approached the center of ix

did acheron go to her

[glossy latch]

Mmh

Im definitely confident that Nihility and Finality are linked now though

[runic ether]

if theres anything to say about this its probably because frebass was this universe's kiana

it is also why i dont think frebass is dead

can definitely see it being a case where

acheron ||became/becomes the finality and taps into as the emanator of ix||

and frebass ||possibly becomes one of the aeons maybe xipe or maybe even yaoshi?||

[glossy latch]

Hmm

Im not sure shes an Aeon we already know

||I would in fact wager she might be an Aeon no one yet knows of||

[runic ether]

||could be an upcoming aeon yeah i can see that||

[glossy latch]

||If Acheron is Finality its an inverse from Honkai where she is the Herrscher of Origin and Kiana is the Herrscher of Finality||

||So perhaps shes the Aeon of Origin?||

[runic ether]

||the one thing that we will see about acheron being an actual aeon, is how much she follows through on the whole case about aeons where they must adhere to their path regardless of anything||

if she is truly ||the aeon of finality, so far all her actions have been pretty on-point for her path||

||she has more or less killed p much everyone she has encountered so far||

||in our dream sequence with her, she strikes us down waking us up. in this latest short, she kills multiple aspects of black swan, she killed duke inferno||

in the trailer for 2.1, ||she is about to show aventurine what a real emanator/aeon actually is like||

[glossy latch]

Also damn this almost makes me want to pull for her

But shes such an awkward unit to pull for if youre f2p

[runic ether]

by all means my account would be better if i pulled for aventurine

but

[glossy latch]

You need her lightcone basically, her teamcomps are all gonna be really weird

[runic ether]

if i get her early im going for her lc

if i dont get her early

with this treasure i summon 💳

[glossy latch]

Like whats her basic teamcomp

[runic ether]

on her immediate launch

it will be fu xuan with trends of the universal market

pela

[glossy latch]

Im assuming Pela/SW/maybe Luka for her passive + debuffs

[runic ether]

sw

and her

at e0

if u are e2

[glossy latch]

Trends for the DoT to count as a debuff?

[runic ether]

trends fu xuan/pela or wolf/ruan mei/acheron

and yep

trends to do dot which is a debuff

[glossy latch]

Wild

[runic ether]

the alternative to fu xuan on trends is gallagher

who tbh is a fantastic support for her if u do get e1

[glossy latch]

Im almost wondering if shes gonna make Welt good

[runic ether]

u can do welt

but pela is preferred

and so is wolf

[glossy latch]

I guess it depends on if his skill counts as one debuff or 3

[runic ether]

they apply the most debuffs on average

and the better debuffs

[runic ether]

1

its per time a debuff is applied

so pela ult only applies 1

even if it debuffs an entire group of enemies

welt debuff even if it hits 3 enemies only ticks up once

and wolf has the added benefit of having a chance to apply lightning weakness

so the comp is pela/wolf

u can do swan/kafka

but acheron doesnt care and doesnt do dot

[glossy latch]

Ye I wondered with Welt since its 3 hits

Like sequentially

Rather than at once

Also man Welt feels like he should be a good DPS unit

I wonder whats making him not perform

[runic ether]

its kind of weird

he should be way better

but theres just no real slots he fits into

like

pela has better debuffs

wolf has better debuffs

sure then u dont need to run wolf or pela in every comp

(wolf kinda can)

he doesnt bring dots

so kafka and swan dont care

he just has an awkward spot

[glossy latch]

Yeah a lot of his stuff is more in his damage than debuffs

But he doesnt seem to keep up damage-wise either?

And Im not sure why because its not like his multipliers are bad

[long tree]

I feel like he might be okay in ratio comps but even so pela is right there and her debuffs are crazy

[runic ether]

yeah

u would rather do pela or wolf

i think they put way too much stock into what the imaginary break would be like

[glossy latch]

Hmm

I guess the fact that he basically needs there to be only exactly one enemy hurts him

Since MoCs nowadays always end with duo bosses

[glossy latch]

I think its partially that, and partially that the way the relevant content is set up, speeding up is just way better than slowing down

Since speeding up effectively gives you more turns in the timelimit

He sucks in PF for obvious reasons but he also isnt great in MoC

... yeah that actually makes sense

I think thats it, so unless we get another gamemode that helps him, hes kinda screwed

Which is a shame, I think he has cool aesthetics

[glossy latch]

Oh funny enough

He was actually decent in those

Because he enabled the Imaginary set which is really good

... then we got Diver

[runic ether]

damn welt truly got cooked by a relic set

[glossy latch]

Diver in general powercrept a lot of sets

If youre not exactly a Quantum unit its hard to justify running any other set

Well unless youre FuA with a lot of hits, then its Ash Duke
