[runic ether]

or luka in single target

or yukong

or hanya

or tingyun

i would say bronya

bc its funny

but

bronya is better on another team

preferably with blade

but qq an become a nuclear bomb with sparkle bronya double speed up

[slow raft]

i do like the gambler

[runic ether]

shes technically not #1 dps even with that bc jingliu is fucking cracked

[long tree]

It's free jades so no reason not to try

[runic ether]

but double speed up qq with good sp management has the 2nd highest dps ceiling in the game

[old galleon]

yes but i need to go level up some more of my aoes first

[runic ether]

its behind jingliu still and i believe a well built acheron with her e6 will outclass her but thats a 5 star

if a 5 star at e6 didnt outclass a 4 star at e6

[old galleon]

my newest of that batch is himeko

no jing yuan but i should be fine with some combination of himeko/serval/herta

[runic ether]

the other team you have is seele or blade or ratio carry

[slow raft]

ratio i have like no mats invested in

[runic ether]

thats okay. i would consider investing into ratio since hes actually quite good over time. do you plan to pull for acheron or aventurine? or are you waiting for boothill and/or robin in 2.2?

[slow raft]

do you plan to pull archeron
oh im already on it
thats where i got my second bronya

[runic ether]

oh based

[slow raft]

as for the other units

[runic ether]

u have multiple acheron teams

[slow raft]

i have never heard those names

[runic ether]

word of warning for acheron

do u have good night, sleep well?

or are you planning on getting her light cone?

[slow raft]

oh right, lightcones

[runic ether]

her dps will be a bit sussy without either of these

[runic ether]

a unique problem to acheron

[digital marlin]

you should visit us here more often

[runic ether]

you have good night, sleep well

yeah go for acheron

[digital marlin]

sup peeps

[runic ether]

also lc levels will matter

[runic ether]

https://tenor.com/view/boothill-boothill-hsr-boothill-honkai-boothill-honkai-star-rail-bh-hsr-gif-4573338318051169238

this is boothill

physical hunt

[slow raft]

eh

probably not

[runic ether]

https://tenor.com/view/honkai-star-rail-robin-singing-robin-hsr-hsr-gif-2998028231148524321

robin

physical harmony

[slow raft]

oh i remeber why i didnt invest in him
dont have access to one of the mats

[slow raft]

probably not either

[runic ether]

https://tenor.com/view/aventurine-star-rail-i-love-gambling-roulette-gif-15600735931808948001

aventurine

imaginary preservation

[slow raft]

oh hey i do remember this guy

[runic ether]

they have added the option to access all the mats to grind for characters

without needing to jump through too many hoops

its pretty convenient

the issue with going for aventurine is that hes coming in about. 2 weeks so if u go for acheron, you will need to gamble

or pull out the credit card

[long tree]

suffering gambling builds character

[slow raft]

well i do love gambling

ill see whats in the cards

[digital marlin]

Good luck

[runic ether]

real

and fair enough

[digital marlin]

thinking of just saving ruan mei

[slow raft]

currently tells me that i have to complete the trailblaze mission first

whats the way around?

[runic ether]

thats odd

in the menu for the domains, does it not have an early access option?

[slow raft]

whats a domain?
since when did this become jjk?

oh i see what you mean

[runic ether]

the calyx

my bad

its genshin that its domains

[slow raft]

its there forn the other stuff

not for this tho

[runic ether]

ah

i understand

[digital marlin]

oh

[runic ether]

yeah unlocking the weekly boss does require the mission unlocking

its not terribly long for that one

acheron will also require that boss

and aventurine too

so may as well unlock it now

[slow raft]

i imagine it also gives some currency so ill do it sooner or later

[runic ether]

ye

hmmm past that

the only thing that has changes is the new relic sets

[slow raft]

first id like a decent team to use in general content

[runic ether]

id go

lynx/blade/bronya/tingyun

thats a comfy team for all content

but if you get acheron you can kinda ignore all overworld combat

just make sure you have enough trick snacks

[slow raft]

neat, i love skipping gameplay

[long tree]

Simulated universe with Acheron is actually fun

[runic ether]

just click e aggressively and unless its a boss enemy, it will die instantly

agreed

because it lets me hit over 2 million dmg vs bosses

and it takes like 3 seconds to do

[slow raft]

alright, last question, what kinda relics do i want on these characters(ill worry about stats later) and which lightcones

[runic ether]

lynx does any set so long as her speed needs are met (134)

2pc/2pc works

[slow raft]

why that number specifically?

[runic ether]

or even rainbow

134 lets her act twice

per rotation

for blade, his speed doesnt matter

but he wants the uhh

longevous disciple

which is paired with messenger traversing hackerspace

which is a great set for bronya and tingyun and lynx

you dont need 4pc on them but it can help

same case for bronya overall

her theoretical best relic set is eagle of twilight line

but the bonus is minor

[slow raft]

oh 2 pc and 4pc is the set boni as in how many you have of them

[runic ether]

just focus on bronya's speed being 161

yeah 2pc is a set bonus

4pc is the full bonus

u dont need the bonus

its nice but not needed

longevous is nice bc it farms with another good set for supports anyways

for stats

blade runs crit rate/crit damage body, and hp boots

bronya runs crit damage body and speed boots

lynx runs hp body or outgoing healing body and speed boots

tingyun runs hp or defense body and speed boots

as for planar ornaments

kind of a same deal but they are way easier to enable

the general best one is broken keel

since supports care about getting eff res anyways

fleet of the ageless works for supports too

blade will generally like inert salsotto

lynx wants an hp orb and an energy recharge rope

bronya will want hp or def orb and err rope

tingyun will want an atk orb and an err rope

if you find a really good atk% body though, you can make tingyun's orb hp or def

blade will want a wind orb and an hp rope

[slow raft]

something like this?

[runic ether]

yeah

i wouldnt worry about the substats at all yet

[slow raft]

yeah i dont plan to

[runic ether]

that can come later once you get your characters built enough to at least clear

[dull bridge]

not top tier the best imo and in my heart

[runic ether]

ok

[slow raft]

my inner perfectionist wants me to, but i know ill just hinder myself by doing it

[dull bridge]

sorry not super useful i just felt i needed to share that for no reason

[runic ether]

yeah

i sure wouldnt waste all my relic upgrade mats chasing a better ratio

thatd be silly

[dull bridge]

you waste your mats

[slow raft]

btw what about the hands and helmet? the stats not important on them or are they fixed

[dull bridge]

i waste my relics

[runic ether]

hands are fixed stats

same with helm

so u only need to worry about substats

and outside of speed

for supports

they can be kinda whatever

[slow raft]

youknow i coulda just looked that up

[runic ether]

of course, aim for crit rate/crit damage for blade

hp/crit rate/cdmg

and also level the lightcones

[slow raft]

right, should i use the uh
the one that has the asta simp on it for blade?

[runic ether]

ye

bronya's lc is fine

[slow raft]

planetary rendevouz seems neat if blade is my dps

[runic ether]

lynx can use the lc with clara on it and then tingyun can use meshing cogs

the 3 star cone

rendevouz is fine too yeah

[slow raft]

got it

thanks for the help

now to farm some equipment

[runic ether]

yeah np

https://tenor.com/view/lets-go-lets-goo-lest-gooooooooooooooooo-gif-19416648

[slow raft]

related question:
whats the best place to farm money

just the calyxses i assume

[runic ether]

calyxes yeah its quite good

@summer hornet if ur in na east coast servers should be up iirc

[dull bridge]

bro imma cry

where u get this luck

[runic ether]

just the sands needs an upgrade

[long tree]

Ayo that looks cool is this a website you can go on or something

[runic ether]

akasha

[long tree]

Oh nice

[long tree]

My relics are cooked 💀

God damn I just got told all my relics are shit

Most of my units are worse than 80% of other peoples damn

[slow raft]

is there a downside to not doing the equilibrium quest aside from losing out on exp?

[long tree]

Eventually you're going to have to in order to upgrade all your characters to max

[runic ether]

p sure guy is already past that one

since he has some level 80 characters

[slow raft]

yeah i was about to say

i think this is the last one

[runic ether]

but the upside is just way better drop rates for all calyx and bosses

[slow raft]

ah yeah thats prolly a good idea

[runic ether]

u can always go down a stage

[slow raft]

last time i just failed miserably at the fights required multiple times

[runic ether]

yeah though imo, its always best to be at the highest level, cus u can go down

[slow raft]

well i tried and didnt manage to do it

been a few months tho, so surely i can do it now

[runic ether]

surely

[slow raft]

[versed pawn]

Gallagher is not even the best Slot for Archeron team it just has the most Heal Value while providing debuffs but if u somewhat decent Gear Fire Main Character and Gepard with Trend of the Universal Market seem to be the Meta Choice since both debuff and everytime they get attacked the apply another

[runic ether]

gallagher is best for comfort

at e6 gallagher has enough stat dist to build full dps

tho

which can pull ahead of fire mc and geppy/march

[runic ether]

e2 gallagher is very competitive anyways

[slow raft]

me when i get bronya instead of the 5 star i rolled for the second time in a row

[versed pawn]

hes aight if u have very fast clears the 2 debuffs he applies are enough

[runic ether]

bronya is at least the best character to lose a 50/50 to

[versed pawn]

debuff wise the tanks outmatch him

[slow raft]

id rather get the ones i dont have yet tbh

[runic ether]

yeah for extended fights they will

[slow raft]

but bronyas nice ye

[versed pawn]

but bronya e2 is crazy good

[runic ether]

bronya in general is crazy good

[versed pawn]

shes still up to par with sparkle

[slow raft]

i was todl that they dont really matter for the 5 stars?

[runic ether]

all her eidolons just make her incrimentally better

they dont

its like

you have a rocket launcher

it works perfectly fine

[versed pawn]

E2 is like crazy good on bronya

[runic ether]

bronya eidolons are like adding homing

[slow raft]

[runic ether]

unnecessary

but insanely good

its the same for all 5 stars basically

like e2 acheron has bigger dps peaks

but her e0 damage is already fucking ridiculous

[slow raft]

yeah i dont imagine ill ever get any of them that arent the standard ones

[runic ether]

theres no need for her eidolons

this is the same for p much every character. and supports just have super comfy eidolons

bronya's for instance

[versed pawn]

me when e6 waifu

[runic ether]

e6 5 stars are like himeko's orbital cannon destroying a single enemy

u could have done it with a handgun

but u decided it wasnt enough that he died

[versed pawn]

funny numbers are funny

[runic ether]

i dont know if theres a character i'd e6 in hsr

[versed pawn]

smh overcapping by 1.6% crit

[runic ether]

but im working on e6 yelan in genshin

[versed pawn]

tho i will skip the next 3 units now

[runic ether]

i might gamble for aventurine

if i fail, ill just grab huohuo

if i win

well

[versed pawn]

u win both trust

i belive in you

[runic ether]

https://tenor.com/view/aventurine-aventurine-hsr-aventurine-honkai-star-rail-aventurine-leak-aventurine-animation-gif-12120082265688735829

[long tree]

If anyone wants to check out how doodoo my relics are on genshin, user name is User on EU

[runic ether]

if i get aventurine i skip huohuo

if i get huohuo im likely skipping aventurine in the future

my next target will be whatever 5 star support acheron gets and then another wave clearer like argenti

[dull bridge]

i’m just worried

because i like healing

over shielding

[dull bridge]

hot man ||gives us his hat||

[long tree]

Short content Idm shielding but if it's a sim uni run id prefer a healer

[runic ether]

sim universe is short content now too

with acheron

[long tree]

True but those bosses can go through shields sometimes especially if they're either multi attacks per turn or there are a lot of them

[runic ether]

preservation cards

[slow raft]

alright, i have gotten 3 of the lightcones to 70 and one to 80
thats enough for now

is it better to get traces or relics first?

id assume traces since thats more consistent but idk

[runic ether]

traces will be better ye

relics are also pretty static but

u can get away more with bad relic

over no trace

[slow raft]

ill do all the minor traces and then the middle ones till level 7/8 i think, cause they start getting too expensive after that

[runic ether]

yeah make sure to get the major traces

trace levels only on the most important skills which for blade i believe is ult, normal, and talent

and then minor traces

also dps > sustain > buffer >= debuffer to upgrade

[slow raft]

[runic ether]

im now officially at 60 pity exactly

i can guarantee arlecchino + weapon i believe

[slow raft]

im at 10

need only farm a few more

[runic ether]

theres a ton of stellar jades and tickets to obtain for you still

you got it

[glossy latch]

You can guarantee the weapon?

[long tree]

Yeah you get it guaranteed if you pull two 5 stars that aren't it on the weapon banner

[runic ether]

with the pulls i have yes

[mystic python]

Arlecchino waiting room

[glossy latch]

Im more surprised Misty has that many rolls

Ive only got enough to 100% guarantee Arle rn

[runic ether]

?

i had a guarantee when i pulled yae

so i have

26k?

[versed pawn]

My brother got 72k ready

[runic ether]

+60

i also have pity on weapon banner iirc

oh

i think theres also a confusion

im not f2p in genshin

i buy welkin every month by now

[glossy latch]

Ah

[runic ether]

i also have bought 7 battle passes lol

for 1 deathmatch just in case i was unable to get arle weapon

1 for wolf fang cus i have needed a crit rate sword for some greedy builds

and 5 serpent spines for navia and noelle

wait

im on 8

cus i have solar pearl for yae

[dull bridge]

who is the best for speed domain hsr?

to do the runs fast

[runic ether]

the calyx?

its frankly whoever u have that does aoe fastest

for me its usually my acheron or my friend's e6 jing yuan

[dull bridge]

but no one is weak to lightning

i mean messenger/ hp

[runic ether]

oh for that one? you have jingliu

[dull bridge]

yeah but she’s not super fast

[runic ether]

she should be able to 3 turn it

[summer hornet]

Was pulling for Kazuha

No luck lol, but I only had 30 rolls worth saved up anyways so

This is gonna take a while

[runic ether]

eh yeah ur good u still hve a lot to go through and a lot of primos to get

kazuha is great

did u get a xingqiu?

if so gg

best character in the game

[summer hornet]

Nope, just a second copy of Barbara

[runic ether]

damn

id keep pulling to get xq

even if u dont get kazuha

xq is going to be overall better for an account to have

now that u are pulling though

u will eventually run into weapons

and its important to remember that if u get a favonious weapon, its probably the best weapon(s) in the game

which these weapons should come up

unless u have ovven tier luck where u see rainslasher ad nauseam

and theres an ownership of who gets favonious weapons

i imagine your initial teams are likely going to be bennett xiangling, xingqiu

you get a free prototype rancour to toss on bennett which can eventually be upgraded to a free craftable sword called sapwood blade

so if you get a favonious sword, it goes to xingqiu first and foremost

if you get a favonious lance, it will go to xiangling until you can get through the like

2 week-ish mini game to farm for the catch

if you get a favonious codex, it can go on any catalyst character that can support that team which can vary. you can use it on lisa, sucrose if you get ahold of her, charlotte if she comes up in your pulls, or heizhou same deal

you will get a free favonious warbow

itll generally be great on collei but you wont have a great team for collei for a bit

and its very likely u end up getting a better dendro character

and the last one is the favonious greatsword which goes on noelle since shes the one u will always have. but other claymore characters like beidou if u get her will also use it well

things do change if you get kazuha

but only slightly

it basically means if u get kazuha, you just slap a favonious sword on him and call it a day

that shit is basically not leaving kazuha

[old galleon]

https://i.imgur.com/ni0lX9K.png

slowly but surely making progress

with light gw coming up in 4 days i'm focusing a lot more on lumi right now

no sand drops yet

but everything else has been pretty decent

[old galleon]

just got another gun drop, which makes 3 in a row among the m3s

i have 5 i plan to finish eventually but i only really need to get 3 built by the time gw drops

still no sand drops in several hundred runs at this point

so yeah they definitely made those drop rates extremely low

anyway, for lumi m3, the plan is as follows

bolt credo: 3x short term, 5x long term
saber (read: katana) credo: 2x medium term, 3x long term
lance credo: 1x medium term, 2x incidental

for tia m3, i'm thinking something like this

bolt aura: 3x medium term, 5x long term
arc aura: 2x
edge aura: 2x

tia happens once light gw prep is done

both the bow and the dagger are pretty set at 2x for me, esp the bow

since bloodshed only stacks twice

with any luck, i can get tia m3 pre-farmed before dark m3 drops in may

presumably dark gw will be after light so i don't expect wind to happen in the short term

but we'll see

just getting it out of the way early would be great

im late to the part but holy shit

why is it double sending!?

[slow raft]

got it

my team still felt a bit fragile (in both fights, one fo the supports got oneshot) but i imagien thats to do with suboptimal relics/no reliclevels

He's just that guy

😭

[digital marlin]

Your complaining about getting good speed boots here

lmao, i was just doinga different mission where i had to search for the shopkeep and then i speak with thh cage and the shopkeep just appears out of nowehre

i thought it was part of the quest until this popped up

[runic ether]

o lol yeah they placed the pure fiction entrance in such a random spot

[slow raft]

now im outt aleads tho :icant:

[copper steppe]

drunk goddess of war is very cute

and powerful

[slow raft]

is she powerful because she is cute, or is she cute because she is powerful?
Much to think about

[old galleon]

her arts buff got upgraded to 3 turns and got a 20% battery as icing

i'd say she's pretty damn good now

[slow raft]

god, that fuckin 1 turn 30% was so annoying on a personal level

she did carry me alot early on tho

[old galleon]

same

[slow raft]

id even rember what you got as a compensation so it mustve been something shitty

like a 30% crit dmg up?

it was smth with crit

star absorb, no way

[slow raft]

did my mc just dot he fuckin yamcha pose

[long tree]

Yes

[slow raft]

also this whole thing is very creepy, id be off in an instant bro

welcome to gunblue fantasy

[slow raft]

pick up the phone
queerbaiting bronya
they know their audience quite well

[runic ether]

is it really baiting if they kissed in canon

[versed pawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a545Gv3jGzg new GoatFinal

[copper steppe]

idk don’t play other hoyoverse games

play star rail cuz of the turn based combat

[runic ether]

from honkai impact 3rd

the webcomics of the game

this is before china started coming down harder on lgbt content in media

[versed pawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgsbFiOcNNI actually pretty cool A- Ranks have nicer Mechanics than the S-Ranks

[slow raft]

ig that particular scene was more of a queer bait and switch

[copper steppe]

if this is some alternate dimension/time bs i guess you can consider them different characters

by which i mean different people technically

[runic ether]

yea its parodying themselves basically

[runic ether]

yes this would be an alternate universe version of bronya/seele since its their original

but they speedran their relationship in the belobog story too lol

[long tree]

Hoyoverse at least seems to support love across multiverses identities, I think the only example I can think of where a different universe person isn’t in love with their universe equivalent of their partner is yae and ei

[runic ether]

same way that in their previous game before hi3rd they also made bronya + seele a thing

[copper steppe]

honestly belobog story was the weakest from the star rail

[runic ether]

cant say that when the luofu was right there

[copper steppe]

fair

[runic ether]

yae + raiden is different yeah but there is a kiana to the raiden in genshin too

[copper steppe]

penacony (from what i read so far) is much better

[runic ether]

we just dont know how they will interact

penacony is peak for sure

best story so far

[long tree]

But misty it’s really important we beat up yangqing another time

[runic ether]

yes

beat his ass

got in the way of the angsty blade x dan heng

got in the way of our talk with kafka

interrupted the fyxestroll garden story too

last thing yanqing sees

[versed pawn]

haha last thing you see when you pull your 5*

[runic ether]

nah, id win

[versed pawn]

final words before the unavoidable yangqing pull

[runic ether]

i have only lose 2 50/50s in this game ever

lost the 50/50 to bronya when pulling for jing yuan building pity for silver wolf

[long tree]

Trying to play this new Astra game that came out… damn they stole the entire hoyoverse monetisation system

[runic ether]

i then got a 2x 5 star getting s2 sw, and then i lost a true 50/50 to himeko when pulling for sparkle's e1

[long tree]

I’ve lost 2 50/50s (once on sparkle to welt and once on Acheron to a bronya dupe) and 1 75/25 on Kafkas LC banner

[versed pawn]

too many too count

i whale

[long tree]

I usually only spend if it’s an amount less than 30 that pushes me over the pity line

[runic ether]

losing to bronya doesnt really count

losing to himeko also doesnt count anymore

[slow raft]

every loss counts since you didnt get what you want

[versed pawn]

e6s3 acheron get them remaining LC on rerun

[runic ether]

i always want more bronya and himekos

[slow raft]

i imagine most people want limited characters and not have to wait on a rerun tho

[versed pawn]

mhhh

i dont whale on everything like the next 3 releases i dont care about much

[long tree]

My next want isnt until 2.3 and it both isn’t confirmed and doesn’t matter to me that much

[runic ether]

yeah fair

i might try my luck to get f-up exodia pieces

but past that im waiting for any future acheron support

[versed pawn]

yeah i heard one is coming but too early to tell even with the pre information

way to early to tell if thats actually the kit

[runic ether]

yeah if its that one foxian male nihility healer he may be great for acheron but we will see

if i do get aventurine, i will try for robin to assemble f-up exodia

[summer hornet]

This is a bold take

Oh NVM it was immediately addressed right after lol

[old galleon]

alrighty, with maintenance in 6 hours, can i finish my third gun before then?

Oh NVM then XD

[old galleon]

i'll go farm tiamat at some point, but lumi comes first since light gw is in about 3 days

[summer hornet]

Yeah, that makes sense

Maintenance thoughts:

Y'know what it's time for a full Lucio playlist

Lucio Skill 1 (Japanese name): Eve of Seduction

https://t.co/z6QMIrXDI5

Twitter · Apr 4, 2024, 6:42 AM

also the obligatory playlist since all of lucio's kit is symphony x references

https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/117524054

just hanagata being based as usual

anyway i like how eve of seduction is the one that got its name changed for english despite that one being the best song of the old bunch

light up the night gives it competition tho

as for s lucio, best song referenced in his kit is, in a vacuum, revelation, but oculus ex inferni is just the instrumental intro to the actual best song on that album, so it's tougher

would kill to get a unit one of these days with a skill called "set the world on fire" lol

incidentally, iirc shalem (dark) kit is mainly genesis references

s amira i remember being dragonforce

and i'm sure there are others i'm not immediately remembering

AYOOO

[summer hornet]

Don't ask me how long I spent venturing into Dragonspine and Liyue for extra currency; it's not good

But getting Kazuha on the immediate next roll made it well worth it

[long tree]

And xingqui too

[summer hornet]

Yeah he's really good too isn't he

It's him, Bennett and the fire lance cooking lady who are the busted four star trio, right?

[runic ether]

holy shit based

[runic ether]

u basically have the whole team yeah

bennett, xingqiu, xiangling, and kazuha

[summer hornet]

Or at least, I will

Still need to reach floor 3 of the abyss first

[runic ether]

oh fair

yeah bennett and xq are the most important grabs though since they are going to be used practically everywhere

bennett's 1st constellation will make him extra universal too so when he comes up on the monthly shop grab him

xq also has insanely good constellations

[summer hornet]

Already got that from gacha

[runic ether]

xiangling too but her cap is 4th. once you get her 4th u dont have to go for more

[runic ether]

oh ez game

[dull bridge]

bennett 6th constellation will make your account so good it is the best constellation this game has to offer

this is a joke please do not c6 bennett unless rly think really hard about it

[summer hornet]

I lack critical information

[runic ether]

???

areo coming in to lie

outright

bennett c6 is very good

[long tree]

C6 Bennett makes his ult give a pyro infusion (makes normal attacks do fire damage), this can make it so your normal attacks get immuned by enemies that negate pyro damage but iirc that’s not a big deal compared to the buff it gives in general

[runic ether]

it gives the active polearm, sword, or claymore character within his burst pyro infusion and buffs pyro damage by 15%

of note: this infusion can be overwritten

[long tree]

Pyro is one of the lowest priority infusions isn’t it?

[runic ether]

yes

but it is higher than cryo

c6 bennett will cause ayaka's dash infusion to not work

but it will work with chongyun because his cannot be overwritten

candace will also give hydro infusion and if cast after bennett will work

keqing also cannot overcome the pyro infusion

this leaves a grand total of 2 characters affected by bennett's c6

[summer hornet]

Huh

[runic ether]

but

1. ayaka doesnt use bennett

she never has, and never will again

2. keqing also doesnt use bennett

she used to when she had no other options

but she has so many other options now she has no need

the only other character "ruined" by c6 bennett is eula

but theres some problems there

1st, ur playing eula

2nd, she also has better teammates nowdays

it is a leftover old misinformation piece about c6ing bennett or not

ppl would think "account ruined" to c6 him

even though it changed very little or outright was a huge buff to some teams

[summer hornet]

Yeah that's.. overreacting

You don't even have to e6 him, do you?

[runic ether]

yeah u dont

[long tree]

People get annoyed because it gives you a permanent red exclamation mark next to your character list icon

It literally doesn’t matter though

[summer hornet]

Same vibe as people being upset reaching max level in a game because "there's nothing to do"

[runic ether]

its better for accounts to have c6 bennett over not in general

xiangling greatly appreciates it as does yoimiya and arlecchino will too

it creates an entirely new archetype with razor

it allows xianyun to give any sword/claymore/polearm the ability to vape plunge

it makes bennett himself one of the best on-fielders

at some point the benefits heavily outweigh any downsides unless your account is specifically built to support weird ayaka teams and eula

and u are forced to use bennett bc u dont have either of their teams

[summer hornet]

Yeah that sounds incredibly niche

[runic ether]

pulling for eula and ayaka u very likely pulled for or have pulled or will pull for their supports

[summer hornet]

Quick unrelated question: is it possible to traverse the entire map (as in Sumeru, Liyue, Fontaine) before completing Mondstadt or starting Liyue?

[runic ether]

yes everything except i believe

the chasm

enkanomiya

and inazuma

there will be a few areas story locked in sumeru and fontaine

but most of everything else is available

[summer hornet]

Oh Inazuma is a completely separate continent isn't it

[runic ether]

yes

and even if u can get across the ocean through ice bridging

there is a thunderstorm blocking the way in

[dull bridge]

it ruins my eula

[summer hornet]

Phew

[runic ether]

good fuck your eula

[dull bridge]

what

mods

wait ur a mod

shit

[runic ether]

why are u playing bennett with eula

[dull bridge]

im@not

[runic ether]

then why does it matter

[dull bridge]

cause

idk

[runic ether]

[long tree]

Bro go sing Chinese opera (I have zero clue if she’s a good support for Eula)

[dull bridge]

i kinda wanna make a fresh account

cause my accounts so fucked

[runic ether]

she can be

[dull bridge]

the only good character i have is my triple crowned eula

none of my supports are built

:/

[long tree]

I thought you said good character

[runic ether]

eula best team is raiden furina jean/xianyun now

[long tree]

Why’d you mention Eula

[dull bridge]

well i don't have that

[long tree]

[runic ether]

eula isnt that bad

she can clear abyss

[long tree]

It could be worse yeah

[dull bridge]

i run poor man eula

[runic ether]

shes decent 2nd half rn

[long tree]

https://tenor.com/view/dehya-soco-genshin-impact-ult-slime-gif-27618022

[dull bridge]

eula fischl mike and rodaría

[runic ether]

dehya is also not that bad if u use her to support how shes meant to

[dull bridge]

if i'm worried about dying i'll run fiona instead of mike

[runic ether]

who tf is fiona

[dull bridge]

fiona

diona

[runic ether]

diona

got it

wait but mika heals too

hes got way better healing than her

with mika u can run furina

thats now her bis team

and gives her a bis set in marechausse hunter

[dull bridge]

i just wanna play arlecchino

😭

[runic ether]

ur still 3 weeks off

[dull bridge]

i don't like eula anymore

im tired of her ngl

i wanna use elemental reactions

i legitmately have never used an elemental reaction team

i have been eula since the beginning

and only eula

[runic ether]

olay thats fine. im sure u have the teams for it.

at the very least u have bennett xiangling kaeya rosaria

you also have the traveler, fischl, lisa

collei too

[dull bridge]

i have a bunch of characters

i just never play with them

cause my eula clears anything i need to (except for abyss obviously) and i don't play enough to build other people

i really really want to build more characters though

[runic ether]

thats on u then. build them.

[dull bridge]

i just dont know where to start ngl

im thinking supports

[runic ether]

levels first

[dull bridge]

idk which ones tho

[runic ether]

get ppl to 80 or 80/90

if they need dendro reactions 90/90

if they need reactions like dendro talents wont matter

then artifacts

and then weapons to 90

[slow raft]

https://vxtwitter.com/creeper89226749/status/1775572203679162614?s=20

[dull bridge]

this is who i have

[runic ether]

you have more than enough good characters

[dull bridge]

yeah

idk who to build tho

[runic ether]

u dont want to play eula so pick 2 teams

one can be tighnari or keqing

the other can be national

[dull bridge]

isnt keqing like rly bad

or did stuff change

idk

i haven't really been following

[runic ether]

keqing is really good with dendro

[dull bridge]

oh ok!

[runic ether]

aggravate keqing is a top tier team

[dull bridge]

sure

[runic ether]

can instead be spread tighnari with basically the exact same team comp

so theres one team

pick between tighnari or keqing

level them to 90

[dull bridge]

ok

[runic ether]

then weapons and talents and then artifacts

and u have the deepwood and gilded dreams domain for them

[dull bridge]

ok

what weapons for rich ari

tighnari

[runic ether]

keqing wants thundering fury a bit more but dendro domain is really good

slingshot

[dull bridge]

i have like harp?

oh ok

nvm

[runic ether]

the 3 star bow

[dull bridge]

sure

[runic ether]

skyward harp works too

what other weapons do u have

[dull bridge]

idk

let me log in on my ipad rq

[runic ether]

keep leveling the favonius weapons

the skyward harp and spine too

also your character list screenshots arent up to date i feel

i see mika twice

[dull bridge]

yeah prob

i found old stuff

let me grab a new one

but i just pulled kuki?

is she good

[old galleon]

or make a religion out of them instead

Cygames did that once and not only did the followers get the gender of their deity wrong but also every other aspect of them too

[slow raft]

I have done 3 runs of the new sim u (one of them being the tutorial) and i have gained like 15 pulls

I might actually be able to hit pity again

[summer hornet]

[slow raft]

Anyways this game mode is kidna fun, i cant really play on the difficulties above thw 2 lowest ones cause even the stage one bosses oneshot my characters but its good for farming jades still

[summer hornet]

Once you get enough bonuses on the simulated universe skill tree you can punch a good 10 or so levels above your paygrade

It's very nice

[slow raft]

I currently cant even punch 10 levels below mine so thats good to hear

[summer hornet]

So does anyone know what Aventurine's ideal relic set is going to be?

Made solid headway on prefarming the trace mats and ascension mats

[copper steppe]

wasn’t that by the fact that it was purposefully hidden and orchestrated by said divinity

[long tree]

Yes but that doesn't help my narrative

[copper steppe]

fair enough

[runic ether]

def set will be good

[summer hornet]

I mean yeah, focusing on defense since he scales off defense, but I mean- should I go for the same relic set as Gepard? Belobog?

*and Knight of Purity Palace

[runic ether]

knight of purity is the one

[summer hornet]

Gotcha, I'll get back on that soon then

[runic ether]

aventurine is going to be quite good because hes a dps too

scaling off def stats

but he wants actual crit stats too

[summer hornet]

So defense, crit rate, and crit damage

Joyyyy

[runic ether]

and eff res and such

some speed too

that's not even subaha, that's just ub

but no, you don't immediately jump into subaha at 200, your grids definitely aren't enough

[runic ether]

yeah ||cus no boobs and its a common trope for characters that can shapeshift to be coded as trans since its a common trans desire to be able to change shape/form at will||

haven't seen a drop in almost 1k ep, probably

||faust||

[old galleon]

oh that's his bow, ok

looked kinda like a ship at first but i didn't remember this being from stultifera navis

[old galleon]

good news: my light opus is now 5*

bad news: due to some absolutely insane decision making by the devs, i can't actually get it to sl 20 due to the anvils not letting me use ssr fodder when i don't have much sr fodder

found a way around it, we're good

[old galleon]

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

i think this is enough for nm90

i don't actually remember nm90's hp benchmark

but i think it's somewhere around 40m

i guess if nothing else it's nice to have

um chrysaor should be useful for other stuff outside of this too

deuce xiphos is cracked as fuck

anyway, the idea is to use horus 3 and then ca, summons are bubs x luci, and mc needs astrapste slotted

grid could be better but i'm just using 3x credo gun, 2x lumi sword, opus mh, atk awakened harakhte, 5* ultima sword, and 2x harmonia

an easy improvement would be replacing one of the above with a second atk awakened (or a spec awakened) harakhte

oh and it doesn't matter what the aux weapon is, just slot one of the swords or harakhte there

if i had it, i'd probably consider using sunblade militis there, but i don't, so whatever

[summer hornet]

He was too good to live

[summer hornet]

This took way longer than I thought it would, but my first transcendence is done!

And I did some calculations and I got so many cerulean sparks from the failed spark on the first gala this anni that I can trade for enough wind orbs to complete Seofon's last five wind rusted swords

And still have over 1000 cerulean sparks left

So now I just need to get... 12 more rusted swords, give or take, and I can FINALLY transcend Seofon to 110!

[old galleon]

based

[old galleon]

probably wouldn't recommend using too many stones for orbs, though; just go farm angel halo

[summer hornet]

I mean I'm still doing my 3 a day as long as they have it lol

but once it's done I have no qualms with biting the bullet

but jesus fuck that was relatively fast by turn count

for comparison my galleon solos are around 20 turns right now

grid is same as i've been using in my other comps, except i'm actually using the seraphic harp over the ultima sword this time

just for a little more hp

incidentally, for light daggers, same boat; ivory ark also requires bars and nothing else is really worthwhile right now

unless i wanted to....

gulp

use 150 gm on futsunomitama

which would be an egregious misuse of moons when hrunting/eresh/hraes exist

[long tree]

DAMN

I swapped lucio to be first slot and it added 2 mil

[old galleon]

grid?

[old galleon]

if you're able to, i'd suggest starting work on your dark opus weapon

[long tree]

Ye probably will do

But I'm very happy with 1 turn 40 mil

Especially since unlike with Florence cheese I don't have to push a single button

[old galleon]

you pressed 12 of them though

[long tree]

?

This is full auto

[old galleon]

yes, so full auto pressed all your buttons, which according to your screen is 3 skills per active character : ^)

the difference is simply that you exert less physical effort moving your mouse around to press them

[long tree]

Oh, is that what people mean when buttons? I guess it takes a little bit for the skills to fire but

[old galleon]

yeah regardless of manual or full auto, you'll see setups framed sorta like this

0b4c: 0 buttons (skill or summon) pressed, 4 charge attacks
1s0c: 1 summon pressed, 0 charge attacks
2b4c: 2 skills pressed, 4 charge attacks

and so on

the "attack button" isn't considered a "button" in this context since it's always a mandatory press

[long tree]

Feels odd that a game is so optimised that using the main mechanic of characters becomes suboptimal

Dragalia was heading that way so maybe it’s just a cygames thing

[old galleon]

time isn't infinite, so maximizing output for fewer buttons has become the name of the game, for people who care about that kind of thing

but you always want to clear, that is the top priority

so if you need more buttons, you press more buttons

[long tree]

So long as I can full auto it I usually don’t mind

I also don’t refresh spam cause with the delay I might as well wait

[old galleon]

if you don't live in japan, bad ping relative to jp is a fact of life, so lockout is probably less noticeable unless you're doing heavy charge attacking setups and/or your menuing is really tight

[long tree]

For me a refresh can take 10 seconds to 3 minutes and it’s really inconsistent

[old galleon]

what the hell

i know gbf has its bad days sometimes but jesus

i usually just refresh again if it takes more than like 10 seconds to get moving

but usually it's not that bad for me, and i live in the states

[long tree]

Yeah it’s ridiculous sometimes and I don’t even have bad internet, i got really good internet

[old galleon]

go on command prompt as admin and check the ping for game.granbluefantasy.jp

i can't imagine it's the ping but might not be bad to know anyway

[long tree]

I’ll test that out tomorrow as it’s 3 am here

[old galleon]

[old galleon]

i did say to start working on your dark opus if possible, but yeah, where you're at, you'd def want to pub it

also it'd probably be faster to go one punch others' pubs
