[mortal iron]

it's not that much in the grand scheme of things

[slow raft]

Ig fire damage is not a huge % of the dps you do then

[mortal iron]

for benny, it's just, get his burst as high as possible, c1 is the only con that reaaaally matters for him

[slow raft]

Well then clearly i need to get the consellation that increases his bursts level

[mortal iron]

yeah, still not thaaat important, he still does crazy buffs

it's nice, but c1 is the only one that matters and even then c0 benny is still one of the best supports

[slow raft]

I dont even have that so it doesnt really matter rn

[mortal iron]

kek

just dont worry about his cons

[slow raft]

Oh but i will

Im simply like that, i fear

I prolly wont really play the game after i get arle anyways

(Technically, depending on how fast i get her ill try to get the weapon or dupes of her)

[long tree]

Guy when he sees a mentally maladjusted person (they will be added to his collection)

[glossy latch]

62 rolls, still no weapon 😔

[late canopy]

😔

Going full pity

[slow raft]

Im rolling in arknights later today aswell, collecting them like infinity stones

Oh right, limbus players
Dont forget that tomorrow is* the day of the double weekly
(*probably)

[glossy latch]

Sure looks that way 🙃

At least I have 5 rolls tomorrow

[mystic python]

It's additive to all the other % damage bonuses; using Arlecchino as an example she also gets:
46.6% damage bonus from goblet, 40% from her no healing passive, 36% from her sig weapon, 35% from 4p Gladiator's Finale

So C6 Bennett takes the damage bonus from 157.6% to 172.6%, making the damage gain 2.726/2.576 - 1 = ~5.8%

tl;dr the value depends but it's usually a lot lower than 15% gain, in this case 5.8% gain

[slow raft]

Ah, its additive

That explains it

[honest pawn]

"limbus players"

thanks for the heads up though

I'm gonna need lunacy to pull for philipclair and outis if they put her on rate-up too

[slow raft]

Hey, technically jot also plays limbus

[honest pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-no-there-is-another-star-wars-gif-23332632

[glossy latch]

Fucking finally

64 rolls

Aaand I cant level it because I dont have the material lmao

[slow raft]

When does soft pity start in genshin btw?

[dull bridge]

same as hsr

[slow raft]

Isnt hsr like

70 ish

[dull bridge]

75 and up

[glossy latch]

Weapon banners is lower but yeah 75 for characters 60 for weapon

[slow raft]

Ah

[dull bridge]

from reddit

sorry

76*

[slow raft]

Yeah ive only ever gotten one character before 80 rolls so i was about to say

[glossy latch]

Ok now I can just level Arle

And try her in the next abyss

Err, gear

@runic ether you level Arles attack first right?

[summer hornet]

Peak

[mortal iron]

yeah her NA is the priority

skill is also fine but focus all your energy on NA first

her burst can be skipped, her burst mostly there to heal her and isnt that relevant damage wise till like...c6?

[glossy latch]

Gotcha

[slow raft]

[runic ether]

yep to 10

[glossy latch]

Gotcha

Gonna level the weapon tomorrow since the domain is not open today (why is that a thing)

And then I probably farm the new artifact set?

[dull bridge]

glad is so good on her tjo

idk

from the numbers i think at equal stats glads is only a 5% dps loss

and you prob have a good glad set already

🤷‍♂️

[glossy latch]

Ehhh

[runic ether]

old design

but also yeah

level her to 80/90 then normals to 10 then weapon

[glossy latch]

Shes at 80 already I just need to get some pyro gems for the ascension

[runic ether]

ah nice

[glossy latch]

Now I guess Ill save rolls for Clorindes banner in hopes Chevreuse is on it

I want some Chev constellations

C6 would be nice but that aint happening lmao

Id use the non-Lynney bow on Fischl right?

[runic ether]

or the lyney bow

either works

[glossy latch]

I assume the other one is better?

Since you dont really use her charge attacks

[runic ether]

iirc lyney bow is just a ton of raw stats either way

at 2x pyro 2x electro

yeah okay so

harp is a decent crit rate and cdmg but mostly an irrelevant passive

fgm is 66% cdmg and 32% atk bonus

the speed is nice but an overworld ability

id use the stats u need most

so if u are struggling to hit specific crit ratios, harp can pull ahead

if your fischl is more comfortable, fgm

[glossy latch]

I dont really have her geared yet

I assume its the same set as Xiangling?

[runic ether]

nope

fischl's bis is the same as furina

[glossy latch]

Golden troupe?

[runic ether]

yup

fischl rotations are so easy tol

[glossy latch]

Gotcha

[runic ether]

*too

[glossy latch]

And Chevreuse is what

[runic ether]

u swap in, click e, leave

chev technically is noblesse

but if u run her with bennett

u will do 2pc 2pc

hp% 2x or maybe er or maybe healing bonus

if you are gonna run mono pyro chevreuse, id probably do noblessr

*noblesse

and then xiangling over bennett so long as u funnel energy well

the alternative is 2nd electro

in which beidou does well

slight shield and ir, good aoe damage, also uses emblem

it means farming artis on your account can go all in on marechausse hunter and arle's domain and then strongbox everything bad into emblem

[glossy latch]

Eh Ill probably go Arle/Chev/Benny/Fischl

Fuck safety

[runic ether]

fischl likely wants harp there and also building a lil bit of er to make sure u have 100% oz uptime

bennett on noblesse

chev on 2pc 2pc

so long as she hits 40k hp

fischl of course on golden troupe

and arle on whimsey

[glossy latch]

Thats the new set?

[runic ether]

idr the full name

but yes

4pc glad and 2pc 2pc atk% also works

at least until you get a better set

[runic ether]

https://vxtwitter.com/kunniho/status/1623860217527009284

[slow raft]

tf they doing over here

[runic ether]

hand holding and other gay sex activities

[mortal iron]

it's a beam clash on who gets custody of the kids

[runic ether]

yeah

like actually thats kind of what it is

lol

[old galleon]

had some time to kill so i went back and refought all the dual spirits superbosses from the final part of volume 2 with just the iphi/claude es/myunfa alter/aldo setup

the only fights that went more than 2 turns were the ogre rancorem/yasuzume fight bc yasuzume has a stopper and ogre rancorem drains all your af at the start

and the kodama/moonfire fight bc moonfire is completely immune to all of aldo's attacks except sb boosted starwyrm slash

everything else either finished in turn 1 if they didn't have stoppers, or turn 2 if they did

if nothing else it was kinda funny watching how modern supports and stellar awakening destroyed older endgame content lol

then again the hp values on these things top out at around 360m or so

which just isn't a lot in the current game

that actually gives me another idea

oh wait nvm

i wnet into the kudang fight thinking it had a lot more hp than it actually does

When Kudang is reduced to 0 HP before you've defeated 5 Shackled Demons, it will unleash a party-wide nuke that inflicts 15,000 fixed damage as a last-ditch attack.
party wide my ass, it just hit aldo for 36k and no one else

(tbf this is bc of iphi, i just find it funny that the nuke doesn't ignore it)

[slow raft]

Chat, it is time

[idle grove]

[old galleon]

good luck

[slow raft]

AGAIN?

IM ON POT 5 NOW

[old galleon]

sona based

awful spook tho

[slow raft]

oh, hes rolling on the kazimierz banner? he must want the operator that regi likes

thats enough rolls for today methinks, ill wait for a few of the daylies

[idle grove]

how many def helmets do you want? yes.

[slow raft]

arknights players, dont forget to log in to get your free pull + 0.5-1 extra pulls per day

oh you know I'm logging in for nearl's wife

[old galleon]

today's freebies gave me chloe

[slow raft]

im getting my gachas mixed up bro, i thought "how did you get the fgo welfare when pulling on an arknights banner"

[old galleon]

lmao

this chloe

[slow raft]

yea ik

[old galleon]

her ca is named "girlboss everyday"
never change

[long tree]

Her final skill is called "that's why your the goat" or something right?

[idle grove]

ik she applies the "GOATed" status

[old galleon]

that's my GOAT!

https://gbf.wiki/Chloe_(SSR)

[idle grove]

I love that they just went all in on her

[slow raft]

huge lowain energy in this character

[old galleon]

meanwhile in earth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX94pHoGE30

[long tree]

The fact she does supplemental even as a sub ally makes them a good get imo

[old galleon]

that's mainly useful in earth skill comps already, in which case you should be running her in the front

that passive working in the back is more icing than anything, since crest passives like that tend to work in the back

also earth omega as usual is suffering

if only omega could have some world ender equivalents : ^)

[copper steppe]

well hot specter not what i was looking for but

good enough

[summer hornet]

Time for the long haul

GBF rolls got me an Ewiyar dupe, too

[slow raft]

[idle grove]

regi if it helps

we both had the exact same 10 roll

[old galleon]

not even grand ewiyar kek

[summer hornet]

Not even the unit

Just the summon

I’ve already uncapped it twice, now it’s three times

Any more and it’s actively detrimental

[old galleon]

lmao

well congrats on your mlb ewiyar

[long tree]

Reminder tomorrow is monthly shop updates

[old galleon]

2-ish hours for fgo

[slow raft]

oh right fgo has both the 4 star exchange ticket and the rate up on ce exp rn

should probbaly get on that

[summer hornet]

Plus extra CE EXP cards in the FP pool

I have to have SOME good peices right

[long tree]

[dull bridge]

fuck off

omg

[runic ether]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-emoji-rage-gif-2922587064166244739

that might be one of the best pieces ive seem holy

[slow raft]

decent improvement id say

[runic ether]

significant

[dull bridge]

is there a website

that shows uhm artis on ur chaacters

[idle grove]

god gives his strongest soldiers his biggest crits

[dull bridge]

wel there is one I remember

i forget the name

[runic ether]

hoyolab

[dull bridge]

this is my only kinda good arti

everything else is shit

[slow raft]

this is the entirety of my cdmg on blade rn

:icant:

really gotta get some better relics on the other slots

[summer hornet]

It'll happen eventually

Just take it slow, a dozen runs at a time

[slow raft]

thats the plan

i am also farming for traces tho

[runic ether]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/1ch2j1i/clorinde_attacks_with_sfx_via_dimbreath/

shes so cool gaw

[mortal iron]

Hopefully i can sack her when shes out

Coz...im still going for arle's scythe

Lord have mercy

[dull bridge]

shes so cool

[mortal iron]

Why they gotta make release 2 back to back units i want pain

[glossy latch]

Tomorrow I get to level Arles weapon and actually play the unit Ive saved up for

How good do the artifacts need to be to solo Abyss?

[mortal iron]

I think a solid 4 glad can do it

[runic ether]

this did it

near 200 cv

[glossy latch]

Oh thats 2pc/2pc?

[runic ether]

yup

[glossy latch]

Hmm

Maybe

I admit I kinda wanna do the actual bis slot but I also dunno how much better it is

[runic ether]

it is

quite a bit better

[glossy latch]

Do we have the math?

[runic ether]

im looking

realistically, if you can get 2pc 2pc with good subs, that carry you for a long time

since for your account, i imagine you wanna farm marechausse and golden troupe more

[dull bridge]

from the math I saw it was like 5% better than 4pc glad

[glossy latch]

Eh, not sure

I have a good Furina set iirc and Wrios stats now are decent

[runic ether]

this is incorrect

it should be better

[dull bridge]

ok

[runic ether]

a lot better

[dull bridge]

yeah I thouht so aswell

[runic ether]

dont u still have a fischl to farm?

furina + fischl and then perfecting wrio while strongboxing emblem can work out better i imagine

since unless u are going in on pulling clorinde or siegewinne, the new set wont matter

though i guess maybe u want to have the burnmelt wrio option?

even then

the other domains to farm would be emblem + shime or gilded + deepwood

[glossy latch]

I do have Dehya

And I want a team to use her in eventually™️

[runic ether]

oh then for sure

cant be bad to farm arle set then

[glossy latch]

I have a shitton of resins to use too

But Ill focus on the linear upgrades first

[runic ether]

i wouldnt go all-in on it

yeah

[glossy latch]

Aka weapon upgrade and talent upgrade

[runic ether]

make sure things are up to date and up to snuff before the artifact farming begins

mhm

[glossy latch]

Then try to ascend to 6

[runic ether]

talents and levels will save you a lot of effort compared to artifacts

[glossy latch]

Yeah

I do wanna get her to 90 but man I hate farming for ascension 6

Takes forever

[runic ether]

yeah

i had a reserve 8 resin to spare to just get her to 90

since i buy the bp to get to 30 again

i stay at 30 resin

why? just in case

[glossy latch]

Rn priority is maxing out weapon, talents, ascension 6 then relics

[runic ether]

ye

90, 10/x/x, lvl 90 weap

and then you can farm artis

[glossy latch]

How much does the skill need to be levelled?

I assume burst doesnt matter

[runic ether]

actually

it depends on if you want to run solos

[glossy latch]

Maybe

Just as a fun challenge eventually

[runic ether]

arle has so much damage in her kit

that it is worth triple crowning

normals take priority of course

but since her dmg bonuses and her motion values are all really really good

she actually takes a ton of advantage of having all her talents maxed

[glossy latch]

Neat

[runic ether]

like now that its been a week

we have tangible evidence that she is just him (her)

only neuv is better and not from raw damage

but from comfort in teams

and only haitham matches her in dps

[glossy latch]

Hey Im not gonna complain

Plus hey, solo who can sustain themselves but still needs to play well (I assume) is up my alley

[runic ether]

yes

solo arle requires some skill in the same way solo haitham does

"some"

it requires a lot of understanding of your cooldowns

and timings

solo neuv too

and again she is a ton of fun to play especially shieldless

it tests your knowledge of enemy ai and attacks and timings on their own shields and such

[glossy latch]

Neat

[slow raft]

i have now visited every statue of the seven

[runic ether]

im glad im not the only one that went and did that the second i started

lmao

[glossy latch]

I didnt

I like to keep the statues of the seven seperate to always have a rough idea of where I havent been

Because this game not having a function for that is miiiildly frustrating

[old galleon]

now go beat lb6

do it for her

[glossy latch]

Also funny enough

Arles voice is not what I expected

And somehow I managed to avoid hearing it until recently

[runic ether]

its really good

[glossy latch]

It is but its, hm

More ... soft-spoken than I imagined?

[runic ether]

mhm

its refined

[glossy latch]

Its controlled above all else

[runic ether]

it lines up perfectly as the father figure

[glossy latch]

She betrays little emotion, and what emotion she does reveal feels ... precise

Like a planted hint to be discovered

[runic ether]

are u listening to her voicelines?

[glossy latch]

A few yeah

[runic ether]

or did u finally start fontaine story

ah

yeah

[glossy latch]

Some from idling

[runic ether]

i like her idle line where shes like "i wonder what the children are up to"

[glossy latch]

I mean I know some of her story from the trailers

I assume shes a foil to the previous knave

Stern and intense on the outside but rather kind on the inside, vs the other way around for crucabena

[runic ether]

her voice direction in all languages cooks though

[glossy latch]

Hmm

Genshin doesnt really have a ... trickster character, does it?

[runic ether]

like a sampo-type?

not really

heizouh a little bit?

ayato in a way

though hes more of a schemer

[glossy latch]

Sampo is a specific subtype, but yeah

Like Yae Miko sorta has the vibe (comes with being a Kitsune I suppose) but shes not doing much trickery

[runic ether]

yea shes

[glossy latch]

Itto would have the vibe if he wasnt a himbo

[runic ether]

she is a bit of a trickster but she is more defined by her love letter she has in her signature weapon towards raiden

[glossy latch]

Ayato is kind of a subtype I suppose but a very restrained one

[dull bridge]

Ayato is super cool

imo

[glossy latch]

I wonder why

[runic ether]

well ayato is the head of the kamisato household

he has to be more refined

oh u know what

ehhh actually

not super close

but yelan

[glossy latch]

Venti would be if he like

[runic ether]

yelan kinda fits the trickster role

[glossy latch]

Wasnt a fucking slacker

[runic ether]

venti too

yelan moreso

[glossy latch]

I can see Yelan maybe

[runic ether]

with the gambling aesthetic and her being a spy-type

[glossy latch]

Oh yeah that reminds me

Wtf is the underground of the chasm

[runic ether]

:]

[glossy latch]

Have they ever explained that

[dull bridge]

there was this whole story i remember doing

[glossy latch]

Its an Aranara?

[dull bridge]

I lied I forgot doing it

but i did it

[runic ether]

lol

did u run into the mushroom

cus that is somewhat of a theory for it

but also there are a lot of theories

but not a lot of answers yet

we know celestia dropped the nuke on it just like they did with dragonspine

its very likely there was more civilizations akin to khaenri'ah that got wiped ages before they did

it also has some implications to zhongli's story and why he remains so quiet

and, ||why he was so willing to hand over the gnosis once he confirmed his people were strong enough to support themselves||

||he very likely wants out of the system that is celestia but isnt willing or able to take direct action most definitely due to a contract. and i imagine it has something to do with the civilization that was around in the chasm or above ground at the time.||

[glossy latch]

||Right but even if there was civilisation, it feels like the chasm itself was alive, and Im not sure how to interpret that||

||It doesnt appear to be related to the Abyss||

[runic ether]

ah that

||yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it is very much... alive||

||did you do the melusine quests in fontaine?||

[glossy latch]

Some?

||I know Elynas is the corpse of a beast from the abyss||

||Thats ... mostly it||

||Oh and the melusines came from him||

||Used to hear his voice now most dont||

[runic ether]

||yeah. that. elynas. we actually know that there wasnt just an elynas.||

||actually, dragonspine has the bodies of another abyssal beast. it was a dragon that fought dvalin and venti during the cataclysm||

||but yeah we assume that the chasm is/was the body of some abyssal beast too||

||we also know that the way they saw the world was completely warped||

||they wouldnt see the atrocities they did back then as that. elynas will elaborate on that later on too||

[long tree]

Which character has the story quest that is in the chasm btw

[runic ether]

yelan, xiao, kuki, yanfei, and itto

[glossy latch]

Thats the interlude

[long tree]

Oh do they just all share it?

Ah

[glossy latch]

Yeah its an interlude chapter

[long tree]

That sucked ass lmao

[glossy latch]

I kinda enjoyed it actually

Granted Im not sure why Itto was there

[long tree]

Xiao was the highlight

[glossy latch]

Comic relief I suppose

[runic ether]

they didnt want you to get too tensed up

[glossy latch]

Then again Im not sure how Itto fits in the story at all other than comic relief

[runic ether]

itto has some interesting implications

moreso through the lore of the oni

[glossy latch]

He doesnt seem to have any actual relevance in the story as a whole, hes just a himbo who seems to make friends very easily

[runic ether]

and the weapons

[long tree]

I'm mainly just not a fan of stories like that because it all just felt like a waste of time but I'll let it slide for giving xiao a badass moment

[glossy latch]

I can see where youre coming from

But to me it fits the spirit of Genshin

[runic ether]

chiori's weapon was originally wielded by itto's ancestor

[glossy latch]

A lot of it is just adventuring

[runic ether]

for instance

[glossy latch]

Exploration for its own sake

[runic ether]

mhm

[long tree]

I think it also annoyed me cause it was stopping me from doing the sumeru quest and took a while

[runic ether]

there needs to be a bit of a lighter tone for genshin

[long tree]

And a lot of it is just "what are we gonna dooooooo???"

[glossy latch]

Thats fair

[runic ether]

its a lot of trying out different ways to get out

• also what the heck it was that they got caught in

[glossy latch]

Im more surprised they drop you in with 5 characters that have had minimal story relevance and you barely know

Yelan makes sense

I can see Yanfei

[runic ether]

kuki and itto are the weird ones

[glossy latch]

Yeah

Theyre just kinda ... there

[runic ether]

xiao actually has had a lot of story relevance in events up until that point

its the biggest shame

xiao and albedo are the 2 most affected

[long tree]

I think what annoyed me most is I knew all the characters there were going to be worthless at helping out save for stating the obvious

[runic ether]

?

[long tree]

I struggle to remember what any of them but xiao did

[runic ether]

they did all contribute in the end to find the way out

it was yelan's inherited magic that allowed them to escape alongside xiao and itto's recklessness

kuki and yanfei helped put the dots together entirely

it wasnt the deepest story line

but it was fun

and simple

with some solid lore implications

[long tree]

Actually no I take it back the worst part was the trauma dump room

[runic ether]

wait really?

[long tree]

Like god damn there has to be a better way to communicate a characters feels that "here is a box that relays your trauma"

[runic ether]

that was good

[long tree]

That's like kids book writing tier

It's a legit plot point in power rangers

[runic ether]

it adds to the intrigue of what was down there. also do remember the rating and age group for genshin overall.

[long tree]

Eh I know but when they can be so heavy handed with a lot of dark concepts it makes the really light and silly ones just kinda miss for me, maybe that's cause I'm growing fatigued of the genshin cycle which thankfully Fontaine was more of a break from and I'm happy nahida actively tries to help

Maybe I just need to step back for a bit and then hop in again at another point

I'm just hoping the fire region actually feels like a step forward instead of dainslief carrying everything

[runic ether]

dain will forever carry the darker aspects of the story's tone

though of course as a whole the story is getting darker

[long tree]

I don't just mean like the darker tone I meant more so like... The plot doesn't progress much unless dains on screen

[runic ether]

the story continues to progress overall

remember, this game's story has been plotted out 7 years in advance

we are in year 4

[long tree]

Like even when the archons want to help they can't because they're not allowed to progress the plot as that'd mean we have a different story goal than get all the gym badges so you can fight the elite four

[glossy latch]

I can sorta get what Jot means yeah

Sumeru is better about it but even then Sumerus plot is largely self-contained up until now

I assume Irminsul is gonna be the big plot thing but yeah

Its just a formula Im perfectly fine with

[long tree]

The lore is neat, the regions are neat, but if I was aether/lumine I'd be going god damn nuclear at this point

[runic ether]

yeah they are just drip-feeding a bit of important plot points

mondstat is just an intro of course but introduces a lot of concepts

liyue introduces the fact that the archons dont particularly care for celestia

inazuma introduces the fact that there are/were other major gods and forces

sumeru introduces irminsul

fontaine ||introduces the primordial sea and the destructions of a throne of heaven||

natlan will be a nation of rebirth

[glossy latch]

I think the trouble is that gachas dont really do overarching stories very well because of how much time is between them

[runic ether]

that will surely come up a lot

[glossy latch]

And the individual plots have not all been good

Inazuma was incredibly whatever

[long tree]

I mean I'd go on record to say there was exactly one moment of inazuma I liked and that was the kazuha parry

[runic ether]

inazuma's story hard carried by the confrontation with signora

and raiden's 2nd story quest

[glossy latch]

I guess it doesnt help that the individual plots are also all pretty short

[long tree]

Raidens second story quest was fine imo, happy she's cleaning up her mess but eh

[glossy latch]

And have to be cut into pieces

[runic ether]

mhm

[glossy latch]

Its the weakness of the gacha format

[runic ether]

that is a weakness in playing it as a live-service game

[glossy latch]

Or that, yes

Like to give an example yes its Kiseki

[runic ether]

we get some insane lore bombs and then have to wait 6-12 weeks for more?

[long tree]

I will say since sumeru there hasn't been a 5 star character focused story segment I've considered truly bad

[glossy latch]

Kiseki has a large overarching plot and a bunch of smaller plots

But since its a normal JRPG series the smaller plots get to actually breathe for their full length

[runic ether]

this is also true

[glossy latch]

So you get a plot for each game that is in itself a good plot

[runic ether]

haitham story quest, dehya story quest, cyno story quest, tighnari story quest

[glossy latch]

And then bits pieces moving towards a grander plot

[runic ether]

all the hangouts from sumeru onward

[glossy latch]

Which works well in a JRPG setting, less well outside of one

[runic ether]

arle story quest is top 5 tbh

[long tree]

Nilous is kinda a miss but that's not really her fault

She's just not in it much

[glossy latch]

I wonder if any gacha actually does writing around live service stuff well

[runic ether]

genshin would have loved to have been a non-gacha rpg but i also know it would likely have not made nearly as much money as it has and it would have been way way shorter

[glossy latch]

Yeah, gachas are stupid profitable

And its hard to break into the genre as a relatively unknown studio

[runic ether]

tbf on hoyo's part

[long tree]

I have exactly one gachas lore downloaded into my brain and that's dragalia lost

[runic ether]

they also really really like the soulsborne story writing style

[glossy latch]

... actually yeah, what if you wrote a gacha story like its Kamen Rider or Sentai or any other kind of weekly show

[long tree]

And I will happily say most of dragalias writing is bad lmao

[runic ether]

where a lot of it is told to you through item descriptions and such

[glossy latch]

Yknow have a steady release of bits and pieces moving towards arcs

[runic ether]

genshin somewhat feels like that rn?

[glossy latch]

I cant judge, have not gotten to Fontaine yet

[runic ether]

with story quests and hangouts and such

while the archon quest drives the rest forward

[long tree]

I was gonna say I'd like a tournament arc but we already had that and it was not great

Thankfully I could just look at my boy kazoo

TBF to that arc it was incredibly short and not really that important

[runic ether]

natlan will be the real tournament arc

[long tree]

If itto doesn't show up saying he got lost when visiting Liyue cause he held the map upside down

[glossy latch]

I admit, I dont like the story quests as a way to deliver lore

[runic ether]

im a fan bc itd be hell trying to shoehorn in every character in the main story

[glossy latch]

I have no idea when theyre set in the timeline and the layout doesnt really ... work all that well

Its probably a presentation thing

[runic ether]

it also a way to make characters that arent relevant

fleshes out the world

like yoimiya

she doesnt really matter

shes just the funny fireworks girl

and thats fine

or nilou

her brain is completely smooth

and itd be weird if she mattered a lot more

[long tree]

Yoimiya I swear to god I am sooner going to tides beckon your grandfather than rescue him leave me alone

[summer hornet]

Given my DHIL’s current stats, should I bother making this gear change?

[runic ether]

worse subs on the 2nd but you are way overcapped on crit rate

[glossy latch]

Partially depends on if you have any of the units that give crit rate

[summer hornet]

I like my 100% crits lol

[runic ether]

yeah but you are giving up a lot of damage

[glossy latch]

Crit damage is % bonus damage on a crit right?

[runic ether]

yep

its good to crit

[glossy latch]

Or is it bonus to a base amount

[runic ether]

but if your cdmg isnt big, its not gonna actually do much

[summer hornet]

My current team comp for DHIL is Bronya/Sparkle/Aventurine

[glossy latch]

With the left one you do 97.3% bonus damage always

With the right one you would do ...

[runic ether]

with bronya and sparkle? u are missing out on some fat dps too

u should find a better cdmg piece

[glossy latch]

162% damage 72% of the time

About 16% more damage

Oh actually

Sparkle gives crit damage doesnt she?

[summer hornet]

If I could I would

[dull bridge]

yes

[glossy latch]

That might actually make the left one better?

[dull bridge]

and bronya

[runic ether]

yes but you dont build her with cdmg

if u land some

its fine

[dull bridge]

i would never go for 100% cr honestly

[runic ether]

but speed is more important on sparkle

[dull bridge]

you want like 1:2

if u can get that 1 to be 70

[runic ether]

yes but not for that reason

[glossy latch]

I know but she gives like 45% flat

Which is uh

[runic ether]

its better bc the one on the left has real substats

the atk% is so much more relevant than the other stats

either way its not by a ton

[glossy latch]

Left one is 142% crit damage always with sparkles buff

Right one is 70% of the time you get 207% damage

[runic ether]

i would chase a better cdmg body with good crit rate and atk% rolls

[glossy latch]

Right one barely wins out

By like 5%

[summer hornet]

Ughhhhhhhh

[glossy latch]

But left one is reliable

And on DHIL Id stick with the left for now for sure

[dull bridge]

there is diminishing returns with cr rihgt

or am i going crazy

once u hit like 70-80

[runic ether]

no

?

the cap is 100

once u hit 100 thats that

u cant be more reliable than 100

[dull bridge]

ok

i worded that really badly

ignore me

[glossy latch]

This isnt warframe

[runic ether]

theres no dimishing returns

[dull bridge]

I meant like

[glossy latch]

Also Aventurine gives bonus crit damage

Left one for sure for now

[summer hornet]

I do have a few pieces with like 6% CR

[dull bridge]

idk

[glossy latch]

If you can get a crit damage body with crit rate substat

Id try that

[runic ether]

if you have a cdmg body with like 6-10% crit rate

[glossy latch]

The maths not hard

[summer hornet]

So if I find something that has better CD stats in exchange for crit rate on them I’ll swap it

[runic ether]

that will be the best

[summer hornet]

Gotcha

We’ve got like 4 more days of the 3x bonus drops, right?

[runic ether]

2

bro is physically incapable of catching a break

[old galleon]

specifically a brass instrument as opposed to a guitar or something

reminder for gbf people that maintenance will be sometime in the afternoon tomorrow, iirc

after that should be dark and fire m3

but do your free rolls before then

[mental acorn]

ok this one's actually a bit of a spoiler (zt-5) ||i apologize, i wasn't really familiar with your game||

[old galleon]

wait is this the lessing event?

guess i actually should go take that one a little seriously lol

[old galleon]

tales of arcarum rerun is apparently also giving 4* uncaps for wilhelm militis and bow of sigurd militis

nice little gift before water m3 i guess

also adding glacial staff militis to the event shop

home sweet moon will be added to side stories apparently on the 17th

(this was the 2021 anni event continuing the society storyline)

exo diablo announced for may 22-29

if previous exo events are any indication, this will be worth running at least some

since this is after dark m3 though, how much will remain to be seen

new tier iv class being added, "shieldsworn" (not to be confused with paladin)

requires spartan and cavalier at level 20, will not immediately have ultimate mastery, and like paladin, can equip shields

incidentally it can mh axes or guns

bc apparently shieldsworn is metal as fuck

also they're apparently inspired by fe gba generals bc their artwork features their weapons attached to their shields by a chain

new art was posted for the dark and fire omega summons, but i can't immediately grab it

also petra will be getting a 5* uncap, in case her appearance in one of the recent events wasn't a big enough clue

apparently replicard sandbox is getting some sort of update intended to make stacking sephira bonuses easier

they're also adding weekly skyscope missions for sandbox, which will reward ideans and rp

and batch adding/removing for emps

cerrine is 255 light but i think she should be fine at 120 since that's where she gets 2 badge slots

helena is 50 shadow, galliard is 26, so neither of them are even at the 80 needed to fully clear their stellar boards

feinne's doesn't matter since she doesn't have sa to start with and is only there to be a secondary revive

that she uses staves and can bear for helena is icing

(probably just use mariel as if you're not going full non gacha)

Twitter · May 1, 2024, 10:01 PM

gulp

[torn harbor]

Is topaz's gun an energy pistol or a repurposed barcode reader?

[old galleon]

Dark M3

• Celeste Dagger Ater (Precocity 2, Garrison 2)
• Celeste Grace Ater (Exalto, Might 3, Vivification) (also it's a fucking fist)
• Celeste Saber Ater (Tempering 3, Verity) (also it's a fucking katana)

Fire M3

• Colossus Buster Ira (Healing 3, Grace) (also it's a fucking saber)
• Colossus Bomber Ira (Tempering 3, Might) (also it's a fucking axe) (also also fire m3 saved omega skill comps)
• Colossus Cane Ira (Exalto, Might 3, Vivification)

so preliminarily, fire m3 will want 3-5 canes, 2 axes, and probably some sabers for harder content

dark m3 will want 3-5 fists, 2 not!sabers, and idek how many daggers

i forget what precocity even does

oh it has crit and heal cap

also on the fire sword, grace is hp+debuff res

anyway the fire exalto being a staff lets you pitch your m1 canes now and forever lmao

also dark doesn't get bloodshed in m3 so you have to commit to forbidden agastia for that

[old galleon]

day 1 of dark m3: just as bad as day 1 of light m3

i can count on no hands the amount of times i've gotten full rotation in pubs

[long tree]

It's amazing to me the difference between gbf raid lobby's and dragalias, mainly because dragalias were so brutal

[glossy latch]

Hm, now that I think about it, Genshin doesnt really have like

Genuinely hard combat?

[old galleon]

not sure what you mean by brutal but gbf pubs can be absolute hell

they fill up in like 2 seconds and you aren't in japan so you have ping disadvantage and then by the time you get through like 3 buttons the fight's already done

[long tree]

As in raids simply would not fire if the people in the lobby did not like your set up

Not doing the new cheese strat? Don't have the newest op unit? We will wait until you leave

[idle grove]

I think you only don't get that bc you can't see someone's party and grid etc when they join

[old galleon]

that's true in gbf co-op as well

[long tree]

With gbf leeching exists which is like the counter point to that

[old galleon]

but you don't have to do co-op to do raids

[idle grove]

oh yeah I hate coop

[old galleon]

you can just find some random pubs and go hit those instead

[idle grove]

shoutouts to doing the coop huanglong and qilin farm

[old galleon]

unless you're doing actual co-op content like astaroth, but astaroth isn't hard

[idle grove]

not tedious at all

[old galleon]

hlql pubs are the worst in the game lmao

[long tree]

I think dragalia also had it bad because different people in the lobby had different roles to fill, and if you died it's basically a full wipe

[old galleon]

you can always do trains for those, and people actively encourage that

i've never done one but ia lso have most of my hlql needs met right now

but goddamn

[idle grove]

Dont rush to do them

[old galleon]

if you've ever tried to do hlql pubs you would probably come to hate this game pretty quickly

[idle grove]

everyone needs to ready up, you need to have those primo speeds so you dont join the raid and then it's already dead

if you don't ready up quick enough you just get booted

[long tree]

I've already seen my hells I do not need to see it again with genshin

[idle grove]

surely you'd want hard and engaging content in a 3d action game

[long tree]

https://tenor.com/view/dragalia-lost-video-game-fight-gif-16074509

Actually this time I won't have to do coop

So sure I will personally allow genshin to have hard content because I am the one to decide such things (my dad works for microtendo)

[long tree]

It's not why people play genshin so we don't get this type of content, iirc they tried doing some difficult events early but there was a decent amount of backlash because people were struggling

[idle grove]

what.. do people play genshin for then?

[long tree]

Story and world exploration

And their favourite characters

[idle grove]

I assumed it was the open world and the combat not being the same turn based/top down etc as everything else

characters is a bingo free space

[runic ether]

combat can get hard in some challenge events but its not the main appeal for the broader demographic

[idle grove]

[glossy latch]

Figured as much

[long tree]

Abyss 12 is there for the people who want it and I think that's as far as they want to go

Even then it's not like it's hard it's just pre existing enemy's with big health bars

[idle grove]

arle has almost made me want to give genshin one last go but I just know I'll end up doing the same thing as the last times I tried with it

[long tree]

Which I assume was getting the character you wanted doing a bit of story then dipping?

[idle grove]

no part of my genshin experience involved getting characters I wanted

but running around, while nice felt kind of tedious early, feels like you just go through some big empty spaces per story, and it just took a little too long for me to get anywhere

and early game combat felt like wet noodle fights

also early story is the same issue every gacha seems to have early which is just it wasn't that gripping

[long tree]

That's fair

[idle grove]

I just know I'll scrounge up enough for some rolls, get nothing and then get bored while playing again and uninstall

[long tree]

Also fair

[dull bridge]

I wanna play genshin again but my computer

ahhhh

Wait I just realised

@runic ether Arle isnt Fontainian right?

[runic ether]

she is not

[glossy latch]

Because she doesnt have pneuma

[runic ether]

she is descended from khaenri'ah

same as kaeya

[long tree]

Can arle do the dolphin leap though?

[glossy latch]

I can test in a sec

[runic ether]

no

she cannot

[glossy latch]

Nope

Funny that they actually did the lore thing there

[long tree]

Didn't she grow up in Fontain though? Did she just not learn how to swim there?

[glossy latch]

Hmmm

Whats Arles optimal rotation anyway

Do you cancel N5 into a charge attack?

[runic ether]

n3

dash

or

n5 dahs

*dash

rotation start

e -> swap

do your off-fielder's stuff

set up vv vapes, or set up optimal bennett circles or just get your shit in

whatever

[glossy latch]

Its a dash? Huh

[runic ether]

then back into arle

charge attack -> n3 or n5 dash

[glossy latch]

Dash felt slow

[runic ether]

dont hold dash

also

its not a hard req

her damage is cracked

so often times, you may find that just doing n2 dodge n1 dodge n3 dodge will clear without sticking to a hard rotation

[long tree]

Just saw a honkai sibling dynamic meme thing and ||for aventurine they just put a sad face over a picture of him that's foul 💀||

the celeste m3 experience part 2

you can see clearly that was at 2/18 when i tried to open it

i've gotten into one raid in the last 5 mins or so, out of at least 10 attempts

also in every raid i have gotten in, i'm hit by some damage mitigation i don't really understand so i never get blue chest anyway

yeah i'm probably just gonna give this a few days

it's fucking hopeless right now

like i have a 90% fail rate of getting into the raids in the first place

it's insane

[old galleon]

https://i.imgur.com/15DVjmT.png

lavog delta is dead

and this took me a while to figureout

i either wasn't doing enough damage in the first half or doing too much and killing the adds in the second half

that makes 2 of the not!lavos fuckers

lavog beta is also dead, same strat

3 of 5

lavog alpha is dead, same strat

4 of 5

lavog epsilon, unfortunately, is gonna take some more planning

bc it does some fuckery

anyway, stellar awakening is a fair and balanced mechanic

just getting free actions with no penalty, and even boosting the damage further

all for the low, low cost of building up enough gauge to use stellar burst

which is trivial

[honest pawn]

THIS MIRROR DUNGEON IS FUCKING DOGSHIT

fucking hell Poise sucks ass

they give you the worst possible Poise gifts starting out so you can't even build

[old galleon]

lavog epsilon is dead

so all 5 of the lavos wannabes are dead

unfortunately, i'm not done with lavog yet

gotta go beat up its giant form in my gundam

[honest pawn]

YOOOOOOO LET'S GOOOOOOOO

[slow raft]

only took me 50 rolls

60 for wingbeat

[honest pawn]

ENTER

I'm so happy I got him, now I can just do Sinking MD runs for Magic Hag

[slow raft]

casual 5 times reuse

[honest pawn]

you think both the EGO's are worth rolling for?

[slow raft]

well, sanguine dsire is good in bleed teams and only there

and how good it is depends on the id its paired with

as for wingbeat

ill have to test it out a bit before i know

[honest pawn]

shame, I'm not too interested in bleed

right now the teams I've got are a poise team and a sinking team

and I'm working on a burn team so philipclair helps a lot

[slow raft]

well poise is pretty broken so thats a good team to have

same for sinking

burns is uhh

carriesd of the back of 2 walpurgisnacht units

also i just noticed that phillipclair has special sanity conditions that might completely egate his sanity loss as long as youre winning

[honest pawn]

bruh

also yeah by "burn" I just mean I really like Magic Bullet Outis and I wanna use her in something

so Philip goes in the grinder too

[slow raft]

wingbeat might be the new potentialman tho, 52 coinpower should be quite good

[honest pawn]

yeah idk it's just kinda crazy that a unit has two separate conditions on a skill 3 to deal up to 120% bonus damage each

and they stack

[old galleon]

big lavog feels actually impossible

like, harder than getting into celeste m3 impossible

with the change to null attacks, it really fucked over the regular strat in this fight

so now it feels like you're forced to bring the gun and the sword

...except then you don't have a shield and damage mitigation becomes impossible

but if you bring a shield, you aren't doing damage nearly fast enough

it feels like the devs, in trying to bring proper balance to one part of the game, completely forgot about their gundam battles

so now i get to figure that out

[honest pawn]

wow there are

only 6 usable burn ID's lmao

and these are 5 of them

[slow raft]

And only 4 good ones!

Its dire out here

[honest pawn]

is it ryoshu or hong lu you're throwing under the bus

oh it's both of them

[slow raft]

Both

Hong lu is lore useful as a passive tbh

[honest pawn]

true

well, when it doubt, whip him out

[slow raft]

So you go dawnclair, liu rodion, ish and meur, magic bullet outis and then either liu ryoshu or a non burn id

[honest pawn]

meursault feels so bad to use

[slow raft]

Eh, he has 2 really good wrath egos

Technically you can also swap in liu gregor for either of the two stars

But that boy aint winning any clashes

[honest pawn]
