BRUH
runic ether
okay then its not gonna be super easy to explain
but basically
ellen wants to have full gauge uptime
and you do so by using her charge attack
you there are tricks to do instant charge attacks off her dash
but good ellen play requires 100% uptime of her gauge since it gives at level 60 a massive 80% crit damage bonus to her normals
her special recharges her gauge as well

And its not even a good one >.>
@runic ether is Steel Cushion even better than the starlight replica on billy?
runic ether
steel cushion is really strong
starlight replica can often pull ahead
just bc
theres not actually too much trouble getting crit rate in this game
depends on your set and all
if you have c4 billy, his optimal playstyle will often means he can get consistent 32% crit rate for free
its not easy to play him at that range
but it is doable
the other upside that steel cushion has on billy is that he can very easily trigger the backstab damage
oh actually another big benefit is that unless you somehow get brimstone (soldier 11s signature), starlight replica will be bis on your other dps
and crafting a total of like
10 of them
will be incredibly draining on resources
doable
but steel cushion should be billy's bis as a result of that unless your main dps are corrin + billy
glossy latch
Is Starlight Replica good on Anton?
runic ether
replica is good on everyone
genuinely
since u can refine it to 5 for free, u can easily get its max value
and getting crit rate in this game isnt that hard and
this game doesnt care about high or insane crit rates
because skill can carry you through mediocre substats
and skill also abuses a lot of atk buffs
runic ether
yea
ultimately characters > weapons in this game
even more than other hoyo games
cus every single character in the game is totally unique
even in same role and all
might be worth grabbing piper from the shop if you dont have her

it only gets more efficient to farm it next patch if you are skipping natlan characters

yeah lol i don't ever make it a goal to get 5 copies, just some happy luck when it happens to save bulins
old galleon
i got izumo a couple nights ago so i'm finishing up drake
i oathed scylla a few days ago so i'm using that as an excuse to use her to get to 200 affinity
rapid bough
current wild west town event gives affinity gain boost too so now's the time to farm it
rapid bough
think my izumo XP farm is gonna take ages, i don't have good sakura main fleet ships (really just hiryuu/soryuu) and i'm also powerleveling vanguard since i can MLB her tomorrow when i finish the cruise pass
so 2 slots in my mob fleet backline are uni + vanguard, leaving only one spot for a sakura ship
old galleon
next month will probably have at least one new ijn main fleet ship
and it's not like the game is short on those to start with
rapid bough
yeah that'll be nice
old galleon
even among the lower rarities you can always use fusou/yamashiro/shouhou
rapid bough
i won't be able to use the IJN UR due to being bulin poor but whatever SRs release alongside her will be useful
old galleon
if the ur is a back row ship you can still use her in your pr grind
rapid bough
i hope it's not a BB, now that i have a 3 UR BB fleet i'm hoping to get some variety
rapid bough
mogador's been sitting around burning a hole in my dock for a while since i've prioritized MLBing BBs first
would like to use her ever
summer hornet
old galleon
use her whenever you have to grind for brest or bayard
rapid bough
if the ur is a back row ship you can still use her in your pr grind
true, but my dock is still thin enough that i feel like i should be leveling ships i might otherwise use somewhat soon
like i didn't level vanguard until the last few days because she was nowhere near MLB
old galleon
that's fair, but you said you're low on sakura ships to start with
and you want haku
rapid bough
yeah but then there's always the grim reality of the fact that getting haku doesn't mean she's anywhere close to usable lol
summer hornet
is it only gonna be garcher
They had a brief animated teaser (with JP voices no less) at the end of this commercial
rapid bough
so i've got time to spare on unlocking her
old galleon
not like i can tell you to go back a year in time and get owari
rapid bough
especially since she's got fate sim to worry about too, she's even more expensive than other DRs i might want around this time
summer hornet
They'll probably reveal some mix of Rin, Saber and (Shirou? Gil? Who knows) later on
old galleon
haku is fine without fs
she's obv better with it but even without it it's not like she won't perform
rapid bough
have 308 haku BPs banked, that's like... a bit more than halfway to dev30, let alone fs5 afterward
honest pawn

out of curiosity, if you need to level a ship, what's the lowest level you'll put into a 12-4 fleet? i usually XP book to 70 and MLB and go from there, but occasionally they'll get nuked when they're that low
and on a similar note, is uni locked in your mob fleet? she's obviously amazing for survival but she's a permanent main fleet spot i can't use for non-HMS xp grinds
old galleon
you have 12-4 on safe, right?
rapid bough
ya
old galleon
i think i've gone as low as 70-ish before but i usually start in the 80s or 90s
if i'm not pr grinding backrow i usually just keep unicorn in the fleet if i think there's any risk of death without her, but you can do 12-4 safe without a healer just fine if your ships are decently leveled
rapid bough
yeah i think my issue is that i'm usually combing PR grinds and leveling at the same time since my dock isn't filled out enough and i want to kill two birds with one stone
like earlier when i was grinding iron blood main fleet for agir, i had level ~80-90 avp and fdg, both not even dev30, kicking around soaking XP lol
old galleon
yeah that's fine
the goal is exp, you're not doing anything super hard, so they don't have to be finished for it
rapid bough
it works and clears 12-4, but needs uni for the damage and healing to stay alive
old galleon
when people suggest dev 30/fs5 for pr ships that's for relevant content or as a catch all for new players so they don't fuck up
rapid bough
i couldn't replace uni with some other unleveled ironblood and expect to get through
old galleon
ye
but if they were dev 30 and/or fs5 you could have the two with a third german, all decently leveled, and you'd probably be fine w/o a healer
it's only 6 mob fights
rapid bough
i'm working on getting jervis leveled to try jervis + san francisco in the vanguard to see if i can drop uni and just expect those two to keep me topped up lol
old galleon
and the anti air requirement for 12-4 isn't that bad
rapid bough
that's another thing i have to be wary of since my AA is still garbo
so i need uni to shoot down planes
should probably start crafting some AA from gear lab and enhancing
rapid bough
nope
old galleon
thing with jervis+sf is since sf is a ca, jervis doesn't get her torp damage reduction
old galleon
also iirc their heals only apply once per fight so if your fights go too long you might not be able to keep up the heals
rapid bough
true but san fran is a 10% heal and jervis is 5% so that's a 15% heal 20sec into every fight
i'll be honest this is mostly cope
i was looking for other vanguards to level and jervis caught my eye specifically for this janky reason, but in general i lack decent DDs
old galleon
should probably start crafting some AA from gear lab and enhancing
as for aa you're probably fine with roombas for the most part
stuff like the rainbow aa gun is nice, but is a level of optimization you probably won't need until 13h/15
long tree

old galleon
i was looking for other vanguards to level and jervis caught my eye specifically...
yeah jervis is good
the comp for it is probably a little weak compared to what you can build nowadays but she's usable in 14
rapid bough
at least rainbow AA gun only costs rainbow prints and not ordnance
but only gonna craft them when i get 9 AA prints naturally, the generic prints that you can turn into anything are going into main guns most likely
old galleon
no wyvern or spearfish?
rapid bough
spearfish costs rainbow ordnance which i'd much rather put into the rainbow CA gun
wyvern, idk
old galleon
do you plan on using any ca's with the triple?
rapid bough
almost all of my best ships right now are CAs so yeah definitely lol
and that gun is BIS for them by a mile
old galleon
iirc hindenburg gun is better on heavy
rapid bough
whereas spearfish and the twin BB gun are more situational
old galleon
and unzen gun better on light (but unzen gun is limited)
rapid bough
yeah i just figure the CA gun is the best general use gun of the 3 pieces that cost t3 ordnance
and as for wyvern, i just want to get 3 NJ guns up and running for my BB fleet
old galleon
do you really need 3 nj guns?
rapid bough
since i can at least get that close to something that looks optimal (no plymouth but rip)
i'm still forever away from a good CV fleet
old galleon
the purple 407 is a fine enough substitute and the champagne gun is better on heavy/medium anyway
rapid bough
well i'm getting champy guns simultaneously anyway in proto shop
so it's really a question of what's the best investment of my rainbow BPs for general use, and having 3x NJ gun for the occasional light boss (like current meta) makes me like it more
obviously though if i get 9 aircraft BPs naturally i'll make a wyvern, it's just where i put the general BPs that can be any type
old galleon
the other thing with guns is there's a bunch of desireable rainbow guns from gear lab
even ignoring the nj gun and 457 there's also the rainbow twin 100, which also ain't bad
tho idk how many destroyers/cl's w/dd gun mains you plan to u se
rapid bough
for sure, and i plan on getting twin 100s as and when i get better DDs to use them
but as it stands i have one usable DD (z23, my starter) and she has mog gun
runic ether
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huTDtxqzKgE
archer!?
idle grove
it is
rapid bough
but as it stands i have one usable DD (z23, my starter) and she has mog gun
ok not true i also use kazagumo in my CV fleet but she gets the shitty blue gun for barrage spam
old galleon
some cl's with dd gun mains you might use in the future are san diego and harbin, and if you're into any of the didos, dido herself with augment ain't bad either; sirius isn't as much for her own damage as cv buffing but she exists too
kazagumo uses blue 76, yes
rapid bough
even ignoring the nj gun and 457 there's also the rainbow twin 100, which also a...
457 doesn't cost t3 main gun BPs btw, only NJ gun and twin 100 kai do
so how i spend those is a choice between those two
457 costs ordnance which, as i say, i'd rather put into the CA gun
idk, maybe i'm valuing NJ gun too much
but part of my rationale is that i only should ever need 3 for a full BB fleet against light armor
whereas twin 100 kai is BIS on basically every gun DD and some CLs as you've said
old galleon
nah mog gun is def good competition for that
rapid bough
yeah but limited so rip
old galleon
but mog gun is limited to exactly 1
and you run it on mogador if you're using her in any capacity
rapid bough
depending on what the JP anni UR(s) ends up being, mog is probably my next UR to get MLB'd
would love to use her in my BB fleet with alsace since she makes alsace's debuff permanent
other ships can do that too but none that i own would be as good as mogador so
i also only need 3 UR bulins to MLB mog, since i got her dupe from the shop for a free LB
UR bulin from anni event + 6000 core (i have 2000 atm) next month will give me 3 UR bulins so i can get her MLB'd next month
old galleon
are you also including the ur bulin from cruise pass?
rapid bough
nah that's going into vanguard

glossy latch
Is Anby actually a good unit?
runic ether
yes
the best stunner in terms of raw numbers
she has a bit of a learning curve
her normal string has frames where you can change up the combo
glossy latch
Does it?
runic ether
after her 3rd normal, she can interrupt with her e or ex special
glossy latch
Oh wait you mean where you can hold lmb and it finishes early?
runic ether
and then she does a unique, higher stun 4th normal
runic ether
Oh wait you mean where you can hold lmb and it finishes early?
it finishes early, has higher stun/daze multipliers, and can do a truckload of damage
but, she has less i-frames than other stunners
hence the learning curve
not necessarily of her move pool but rather
enemy attack patterns and when you can animation cancel her own attacks
you have animation cancel frames during certain parts of her special and ex special attack
and during her normal strings
all put together, she can have crazy good stun uptime also because she generates a ton of energy for herself
runic ether
shes actually insane yea
shes super fun and, if you end up collecting enough dupes, she can be your main carry
this is something they did with this game in that a lot of characters turn into a main dps with dupes
glossy latch
Her dupes give her damage?
runic ether
1st gives energy
4th gives even more
2nd and 6th give damage
the best part is just how her gameplay flows
it can sound clunky but she just rewards raw skill with dodges
and i-frames
koleda has the better parry, lycaon has the better buff and i-frames, qingyi has better raw damage at c0, but anby will stun better than the others
there is one thing about the stunners though and thats the fact that besides koleda, they all take up most of the field time
so they can end up being incompatible with some dps characters
or awkward
neko for example
she wants koleda or a stunner like her to not hog field time since neko wants to be the one taking it up
billy to an extent as well
corrin somewhat but she can work well anyways
ellen has to shift her playstyle if you dont have lycaon
zhu yuan and 11 both have great times with stunners since their dps windows are specific
aka u can have their dps windows online the entire time
runic ether
i've been super tempted to pull on standard cus every character in this game is gas but i actually got pretty lucky
im only missing 5 stars
zhu yuan, neko, lycaon, and grace
runic ether
and shes really good too 😔
also her character story was really cute
rina stocks will go up with burnice though
and i guess jane
glossy latch
Do we know the 4* on Janes banner?
runic ether
seth and anby
seth is an electric defender
hes really good too
for the time being, i'll be doing jane, rina, seth
unless i get lucky and get grace
but
then again, if i lose the 50/50 to jane, im going for caesar
theres too many cool team comps i wanna do
billy, caesar, lucy or nicole
lots to think about
hesitant to spend money on zzz bc im about to go back to school very soon
glossy latch
Well I wouldnt mind more Anbys
runic ether
yea
samme
at the very least, out of the hsr/genshin/zzz face trio, anby's my favorite
i dont hate paimon or march but they are kind of annoying
anby at least is just dumb
shes just like me fr
runic ether
i'll trade u for at least one of ur graces if i could
rapid bough
i miss anby, it was hard to drop her in favor of qingyi for my zhu yuan team
qingyi is also super fun though, so many free i-frames/dodges
long tree
why do u hate cats
I just don't use her
rapid bough
i could see anby being better for the majority of enemies that die too quickly for qingyi to stack her stun damage increase
runic ether
optimally? i think unless u have c2? maybe 4 qingyi? anby will be on par or better in some situations for zhu yuan
rapid bough
i find it hard to believe she's better for setting up boss burst tho
runic ether
she is actually
cus anby has higher raw daze and stun
you just have to max out anby's play patterns and dodge counters and such
gotta memorize enemy patterns well
rapid bough
well i'm fucking bad so
rapid bough
qingyi needing to take up so much of the neutral game time also works well with zhu yuan not really needing it
runic ether
yeah
again, qingyi will be great too
but there are arguments that qingyi being very flexible with any attack agent means
u can run her without zhu yuan
rapid bough
currently my only relevant attack agent is zhu yuan anyway
still don't have the materials to dump into bringing neko up
nor a good team for her anyway
rapid bough
from all the videos you've posted of billy it sure seems like i need to have gigabrain MLG pro level play to make him work
rapid bough
also don't you need c6 to really make billy shine
runic ether
nah
c6 makes him insanely good
but hes already great beforehand
c4 is more impactful overall
bc u can be extremely greedy when building gear for him
free 32% crit rate is huge
and his c2 also
gives him a ton of damage uptime
rapid bough
half of billy's mindscape powers seem bonkers
why does he have so many good ones lol
runic ether
its all just good shit thats expanded on his base kit
basically saying
if you were already good at billy
u can become even stronger for free
rapid bough
i dread the day where we get a limited S agent with broken mindscapes
pulling for dupes feels like such shit
runic ether
hoyo doesnt really do that
well
like the thing with it
in genshin, they usually do a bait c1
in hsr, its been the c2
and weapon
its a bait c2 and their lightcone is the actual upgrade generally
in genshin, they have created some absurdly busted c6 characters
but they are intended entirely for solos
they are super overkill
idt theres a single 5 star in hoyo games that feel incomplete at c0
rapid bough
may that continue for zzz since i don't ever want to feel obligated to pull dupes at a 0.6% rate
hell even nikke drives me nuts with that and it's got a 4% rate
and dupes are WAY less important in nikke
runic ether
yeah hoyo's model will generally be to bait u with weapons and for zzz its character vibes
rapid bough
god that's another thing
runic ether
they are doing 3 trailers per characters 1 of them being a mv
they are really trying to get u to pull all of them
rapid bough
hopefully none of the limited W-engines are so important for their character that i feel obligated to pull them
thus far the free options are solid enough
fuck weapon banners
runic ether
with how good the free options are
yea
they arent gonna be needed
theres a new weapon iirc
its for atk agents and its also free and really good
event weapons in genshin are generally good
runic ether
free through the event in 1.1
i think it's 2nd half with jane/
basically though its free at max copies too
