put jade on lingsha

hyperspeed lingsha with break/atk/speed

[glossy latch]

I need to build Lingsha before I can do that

[runic ether]

time to build lingsha

i'd recommend asta for that team

[glossy latch]

Well that is the plan

[runic ether]

asta buffs everyone

[glossy latch]

I mean, Ruan Mei does too

[runic ether]

and all of them do significant dmg

[glossy latch]

And is arguably better at that no?

[runic ether]

oh sure rm works

if you arent using her 1st half

[glossy latch]

Tbh I have no idea what Id use first half then

Little Herta/Himeko?

[runic ether]

i wrecked it with acheron but idt u have e2 acheron

[glossy latch]

I dont have Acheron at all in fact

[runic ether]

[glossy latch]

Didnt want to have to pull for her weapon

Since her f2p selection is ... dire

Also I have Kafka for lightning weak enemies

Yeah I cant get past 58000

Ill just try doing that then

Actually Ill just try swapping teams first

[runic ether]

yeah idr what the 1st half actually has

but i know the herta does much better 2nd half

also build lingsha

and in that team, 0 speed herta + hyperspeed lingsha with jade buff gets her ult up infinitely faster

[glossy latch]

Tis the plan

Also why 0 speed herta if youre putting the speed on Lingsha?

Ah this is not going to work, the first wave sucks for Yunli/Clara

[runic ether]

cus lingsha will take all the turns and herta ult speeds her up

[glossy latch]

God why is Firefly doing poorly in this first half too

[runic ether]

what are the enemy weaknesses of 1st half?

also did you get fugue?

[glossy latch]

I did, and all over the place

[runic ether]

himeko fugue time

[glossy latch]

Lightning is the most common I suppose

... wait can Himeko chain into herself?

[runic ether]

with a little help from hyperspeed serval but otherwise

yes

[glossy latch]

Thats fucked up

I might try that yeah

Would probably work better if I had a break Himeko set

Actually no it wouldnt, that doesnt improve break efficiency

I just need Ruan Mei as well (?)

[runic ether]

yeah no need for break himeko enitrely

*entirely

[glossy latch]

Better but not quite

Stumbles on the second wave

Hm

(On the first half)

I'm ... gonna try something weird

Nvm that doesnt work

SR mold overperforming
not meta
but

[glossy latch]

... why did the resin selector default to 4 of them at once?

I guess Im gearing Lingsha now since I have to use up this energy

[glossy latch]

... ok what makes Lingsha good?

Because I feel like Im missing something

[mystic python]

Good healing, cleanse is very nice, does ok damage in superbreak since she scales off break effect

[rapid bough]

patch notes confirm they're implementing this after maintenance

we are WINNING gfl2 bros

[versed pawn]

Well I finally get to use Nicole

[versed pawn]

She does stupid dmg for being a healer since u can pretty much give her break stats and just deal dmg with her if u have a character like fugue in team super Ez since she does aoe break

[runic ether]

constantly click e and get a lot of aoe, cleanse, and healing

Ok got 3* on it finally

Just barely

The trick was The Herta on the first half, and RM + Fugue + Lingsha + little Herta on the second

[rapid bough]

grats

[rapid bough]

but WIFE, i understand

[timber sigil]

You finally get to mass open your stockpiled boxes lol

[rapid bough]

i've been waiting basically since release to do so lol

i think i opened the first 5-10 i bought but none after that, i prolly have like 40 of each type stockpiled

[glossy latch]

Ok also got Apocalyptic Shadow maxed out

This shit is harder than it should be lmao

And not worth the 3 hours I spent on it, oops

They’re streamlining a bunch of the puzzles and making some of the loredump exposition optional, which will make the story faster and stronger imo - even the voice actors were getting worn out by the end

And they’re BUFFING CHARACTERS

[timber sigil]

was this an intentional Pekora reference

@rapid bough but also these story logs pertaining to Peritya and Krolik so far do give a lot more information on their backstories and to the overall story as well

iunno if you've read em yet

[rapid bough]

i have not

i really haven't read any of the optional elmo logs

[timber sigil]

if you have the time I'd recommend giving them a read

[old galleon]

it's a term of endearment

[timber sigil]

peak

[timber sigil]

heh

[old galleon]

looks like endearment to me

[timber sigil]

even the dialogue dunking on Mayling lmao

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Bodom

[old galleon]

wouldn't have taken suomi for a cob fan but based

[rapid bough]

isn't she supposed to be a big metal fan? typical scandinavian

[old galleon]

sure but she doesn't give me cob vibes specifically

[rapid bough]

finnish death metal
nuff said

[old galleon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77kTMdl5zrQ

[timber sigil]

yeah 1 part of her side story involves Mayling mentioning to Suomi that she's kept up at night by weird noises which turns out to be Suomi's death metal music that's heard through a faulty air vent

[old galleon]

this is the track she mentioned

[timber sigil]

I think there was also another part in a seperate story where she mentions finding a copy of Nirvana's Nevermind in the wasteland

[old galleon]

sounds like suomi needs to invest in some earphones

[timber sigil]

in the past she had a scuffle with Papasha about her playing her music so loud

[old galleon]

don't deprive mayling of even more sleep 😦

[rapid bough]

also, went back and read the patch notes, it appears they're still not adding purchasable access perms in the redundant piece shop (the one that currently only sells sig weapons for the standard banner dolls)

i spent 900 pieces to get qiongjiu's sig (worth imo) but i've still got 1100 of these pieces burning a hole in my wallet

and that's gonna increase by a lot when the new patch comes out and i pull for dushevnaya and spend the 70+ standard pulls i've been saving for the rate-up feature

[timber sigil]

yeah I've been slowly upgrading Mosin's signature

atm have it at C4

[rapid bough]

i'm definitely not spending pieces on dupes, and i already pulled tololo's sig off a banner at some point which is the only other gun i'd drop 900 pieces on

in CN you can buy access perms for 30 pieces in that shop, so each sig is 30 pulls worth of pieces

[timber sigil]

yeah I'll probably save once I get a few sigs to suitable levels

[rapid bough]

weapon dupes aren't important enough for me to target them over just saving imo

i'd rather organically let dupes come in as i pull for dolls

like for mosin's sig which i already got a dupe for

[timber sigil]

I'll probably focus my standard banner on Mosin too

since I have her at V3 now

until I get her V4 that is

man everyone loves throwing around the word 'dork' huh

[rapid bough]

i'm absolutely focusing standard on qiongjiu until at least v3

then probably tololo until i get her since i don't have her yet

then idk

[timber sigil]

Vepley supposedly good for bossing idk haven't started investing into her yet

Peritya gets better w/Klukai and Mechty/G11

[rapid bough]

it's pretty funny how dupes + corrosion chars move peritya from bottom-tier awful to actually quite good

but we're a long way from that

[timber sigil]

Ullrid gap moe lmao

oh my god it's one of these LMAAAAAO

[rapid bough]

i don't think i'm anywhere close from investing in vepley, her debuffs might be good for bossing but i feel like i'd rather just put another higher DPS option in a team

and daiyan powercrept her only other niche which is mobility

[timber sigil]

Yeah Daiyan is a beast

[rapid bough]

idk if i'd call her a beast but i've definitely been happy i have her

[timber sigil]

at least with mine she insta shreds 10 stability points from a target

so she's been amazing for boss fights

[rapid bough]

didn't you pull to v6 though lol

[timber sigil]

I gave up at v4

[rapid bough]

rip

still a pretty significant power difference

[timber sigil]

because I realised it'd be more sensible to stop

after reading the v5/v6 perks

altho the v6 perk sounds broken

1 stack of perma tuning each time an enemy is killed on the map

[rapid bough]

i reference https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ai2dsn6Sn6oFb2zsddcH_rlSvMmi6Fp39LpWxs98QeA/edit?gid=1628756254#gid=1628756254 pretty often to get an idea of a roadmap for important dolls/upgrades/sigs/etc.

and according to this, daiyan v4 is her biggest powerspike

so

you stopped at a good point lol

[old galleon]

anchor banner is in a few hours right?

[rapid bough]

makes sense too, since v4 buffs her counterattack by a ton

[timber sigil]

whenever her rerun rolls around I'll pull for v6 b/c wife

[rapid bough]

in 45 mins i think

[rapid bough]

based

i might pull for suomi's sig if i get lucky on dushevnaya pulls

she's a broken enough character that i feel comfortable "optimizing" her, and her sig is pretty good

[rapid bough]

also just realized the name of this doc got updated to say it's dead with no further updates, rip

wonder if someone made a dupe that is getting updated

[old galleon]

would be weird if it dropped right before daily reset

as opposed to after

[rapid bough]

yeah my mistake for trusting google, i asked it to convert 5am UTC+9 to EST and it gave me noon but that doesn't make sense. it should be 3pm since UTC+9 is 14 hours ahead of EST

so yes anchor drops at daily reset time

heh, anchor drops

[timber sigil]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1DogyU3K7ZXw2qbhP1EhRXIAw5nCyIV5G5e-QWviBZME/htmlview?gid=1359821455&pli=1#

there's this one that i've been using

[rapid bough]

this is definitely far more organized lol

[timber sigil]

I'm a firm believer of there being no bad units at least in this game just characters with different niches

[rapid bough]

i think that's true of basically all gacha games, since 95%+ of content in gacha games is purposely piss-easy so it's grindable and therefore can be completed with basically any character(s) you want

[old galleon]

it's definitely possible for gachas to have simply bad units

[rapid bough]

it's that top ~5%-ish of gameplay like boss battles where having optimal teams/powerful characters really helps

[old galleon]

doesn't necessarily mean you can't clear content with bad units, though

that said, it's harder for them to be outright bad in a game like gfl2

[rapid bough]

like i definitely could not have already finished gfl2 boss battles or PVAs without makiatto/suomi/qiongjiu carrying the shit out of my team damage and survivability

though shoutout lotta for being a goated AoE DPS that we got v6 for free

[old galleon]

gfl2 does rarity mostly correctly, where despite the purples not being the highest rarity, they still get basic features that help them keep up

[timber sigil]

I kinda wish we'd get more purple units as well for a cheaper option instead of constant golds

[old galleon]

then you have a game like feh or another eden, where not being the highest rarity actively kneecaps you (tho at least those games give you a way to promote most characters to 5*)

[rapid bough]

when was the last time gfl2 released a purple unit in CN?

[timber sigil]

Lotta

[rapid bough]

was lotta the first? (since suomi event was an anni event for them iirc)

[timber sigil]

at half anniv

1st anniv was Klukai

[old galleon]

if there's a silver lining there, that should theoretically make it easier to v6 all the purples over time

[rapid bough]

so is lotta the only purple they've released post-launch? lol

at least she's good!

(and could be v6'd for free just by playing her event)

nikke has definitely thrown off my sense of purple vs gold units since purples are borderline useless and golds are so oversaturated that there's an even mix of OP vs alright vs awful ones

azur lane too to a lesser extent, since rainbows threw everything outta whack there. new golds are still generally quite good though, purples not so much

[timber sigil]

ah Dushev is very cultured

[rapid bough]

LMAO

that had to have been the localization team taking some liberties in how they translated that

i can't imagine her original CN dialogue legitimately referenced mulan

[old galleon]

and this is why direct translation purists can be safely ignored : ^)

[rapid bough]

speaking of azur lane, we grow closer and closer to implacable rerun

at long last the OP horny nun/CV will be mine

[old galleon]

you say that as if you didn't buy her asmr

[timber sigil]

context of this btw is that Lotta's trying to make a short film to capture the essence of what it means to be a hero for their community, Suomi and Dushev volunteer to act in said film but can't get into character

[rapid bough]

i know you're joking but i'm actually not into the whole ASMR thing so no i did not buy hers or anyone else's

i haven't even watched rapi's ASMR, i just thought it was super based that kayli mills did it

[old galleon]

you're missing out

tho i know it's not for everyone

(the rapi one is def much more wholesome than lewd)

(the implac one is def much more lewd than wholesome)

[rapid bough]

yeah i know lol

[timber sigil]

I love these illustrated scenes they're so good

[runic ether]

oh i was just kidding i didnt mean to get her it was just building pity

[digital marlin]

Not bringing up FGO?

Wait replayed to rong message but right person

FGO has some notorious bad units in it but can still be used to clear content

[old galleon]

i don't have to bring up fgo every time this topic comes up, i think everyone knows low rarities in fgo are quite good too

but ye

[digital marlin]

Got rep
😤

[old galleon]

and at least phantom is no longer in competition for worst servant in the game lol

[digital marlin]

Got to give prompt to FGO for buffing old units

[slow raft]

just a fraction of your luck please 🙏

[digital marlin]

Feel like FGO is the one that goes.back and buff older units the most out of othe gachas

Others usually have it as a one and done where as FGO you have some year ones that got buff 3-4 times
Like Emiya

[slow raft]

fwiw arknights regularly does batch buffs for entrie archetypes and that usually benefits the low stars quite a lot

but theres only like 2 units who are actively bad so its not like buffs are needed all that much

[old galleon]

arknights module system is pretty neat yeah

ofc it also sometimes results in units who really don't need an upgrade getting one

which was always funny to me

[slow raft]

thorns really needed more damage for sure

[slow raft]

fuck, silverwolf is also on rateup
ig i need to wait another rerun cause i for sure am not scrounding together 320 pulls in 20 days

[glossy latch]

... ah fuck I forgor Boothill reruns now

I kinda want him too >.>

also reminder that this event's 90++ really wants you to use rulers

[versed pawn]

her ult is very chuuni

[old galleon]

okay, it almost got into crisis territory but i did pull anchor

and have mileage to spare

also was able to grab hq mold but ofc i got scammed again

so the only particularly good things out of my rolls are anchor and an ein dupe

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

if i'm an apprentice maid, don't call me master

also why

[old galleon]

tetra team consists entirely of fantastic units
hard walled in tower anyway

idk lol

this is legit the first day i may not be able to do all 3 floors

[old galleon]

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

some people might say "only" 70%

[old galleon]

yeah anyway tetra 125 isn't happening today

stage demands powerful aoe and i have exactly none of that, between noir's burst being low multiplier and alice not being in god mode due to still being new

and bunny soda having no meaningful investment of her own

[rapid bough]

10-pull for luck...

nothing, rip

[old galleon]

next one will give you anchor

trust

[rapid bough]

i've decided to just do a single 10 pull for lulz on all new banners where i'm otherwise just gonna wait til they end up in the standard pool to get wishlisted

though maybe i should just take the plunge and get both anchor+mast since they're a duo and counting on the wishlist/molds for that might be annoying

god knows i have enough pulls banked to not really care

but naaaaaaaaaah

[old galleon]

i don't have enough gear banked for them so i have them sitting on the bench right now anyway

but i'll be using them in elysion tower for sure

[rapid bough]

yeah they'd spend forever on the bench anyway if i got them now so i'm in no rush

i have the gear but no dolls (well, no doll upgrade mats)

helm bled me dry

[wispy goblet]

Allegedly they're a duo stronger than Naga-Tia if I'm remembering the review I saw right

[rapid bough]

for pure damage i'm not surprised since that's what they're catered to

[slow raft]

did one 10 pull and i got yuni

[rapid bough]

but naga/tia have shields and healing which can be very important depending on content

[slow raft]

mesage received

[old galleon]

they're theoretically stronger off core but no one's had them long enough to test them in game

would take any early reviews with the usual salt

i do expect them being theoretical best with sbs to hold up tho

[rapid bough]

we'll see. using them with SBS makes using mana impossible since anchor will steal her charge time buff

so especially on wind-weak bosses it might be best to keep SBS with mana

or maybe SBS is still just tied to alice despite mana being basically perfect for her lol

mast/anchor benefit other nikkes too at least, like alt quency

[old galleon]

correct

i also still think they'll be generally useful in tower

your b1 of choice between dkw and rrh (i prefer b3 rrh in tower), the horny maids, then your b3s of choice

seems like a generally good squad unless you need something specific

[rapid bough]

they'll almost certainly be used in elysion tower (when geared to the point they're not tanking your combat power lol)

they're elysion's first duo after all

[old galleon]

well "lucky" for me my highest power b2 is marciana, who's not super highly invested, so it's not a super high bar for me

[rapid bough]

i think "optimal" elysion tower will end up as dkw/maid mast/maid anchor/rrh/treasure helm

maybe switching helm out for AoE like maid privaty if the stage calls for it

[old galleon]

still need 90 more of her favorite item mats

[rapid bough]

i'm 100 away

more importantly her doll refuses to give me super success in the final stretch

stuck at level 12 lol

completely out of mats

solo raid starts up in 5 or so hours though, hopefully that'll get me the rest of the mats i need before it's done

[rapid bough]

time to go back and do like 10 chapters worth of nikke sidequests and EX stages that i've been postponing for god knows how long lol

wonder how many gems i have banked in these

[glossy latch]

I am a fool, but I am not insane

i swear to god hoyo writers have to be paid by the word

my eyes routinely glaze over reading through new text events after like 2 or 3 text bubbles that are each a paragraph long

and then there's like 10 more text bubbles before things actually happen

[summer hornet]

I was saying that elsewhere, yeah- I do think that the complaint about "black screen white text" is overrated, but at the same time HSR has a habit of being overly verbose when there's no reason to be sometimes

[old galleon]

meanwhile the horny ones feel like they last forever (until they don't)

horny is timeless

there will always be another

When you tell the fgo writers to not write more than the bible on their depression simulator

https://tenor.com/view/glorp-glorpshit-mad-gif-12826934952903770254

[glossy latch]

At this point the only way I start a new gacha is if we get a Kamen Rider gacha that isnt aimed at Fujoshis

[slow raft]

Not gonna happen

[summer hornet]

that isn't aimed at fujoshis

Even I know that's a pipe dream

[slow raft]

Gachas need a delusional fanbases that spend qbsurd amounts of money for no good reason so unless youre willing to spend hundreds of dollars on santa poppy, youre shit out of luck

Alternatively, the monkey paw curls and you get a shitty low quality web based pay to win gacha that will eos in 4 months

[long tree]

...make it a base building game

Its where franchises that cant stand on their own in the mobile market go to die

(Naruto)

[honest pawn]

Limbus' 2nd anniversary is coming up

[summer hornet]

"I can see your screen, why tf you laughing"

"Mad disrespectful"

[honest pawn]

lots of cool rewards

[old galleon]

somehow i figured it'd been around at least another year on top of that

guess my sense of time is going

[glossy latch]

Limbus' gameplay didnt inspire me

[old galleon]

i never got around to trying it

had way too many other games on my plate (arguably still do)

[runic ether]

and it all ranges from abysmal dogshit to insane peak

[rapid bough]

same, i didn't realize limbus was (relatively) recent

[runic ether]

genshin will have unvoiced world quests with massive lore drops and implications and another about a man and his sea slug wife trying to get by

[slow raft]

Limbus does have an existing base to build of of so thats understandable

[rapid bough]

guess i'll never experience the peak portions for the most part because i skip almost all non-voice acted dialogue now

[old galleon]

based if the sea slug one is voiced

[runic ether]

neither is voiced

[slow raft]

Just not fucking with mechanics or something else?

[old galleon]

rip

[honest pawn]

I would say Library of Ruina's gameplay is far superior to Limbus' but it's still good

[rapid bough]

i can appreciate the amount of world- and character-building they can do with all that dialogue but i just don't care about 95% of it lol

[slow raft]

Truth nuke

[glossy latch]

Mostly mechanics yeah

[runic ether]

yeah it can be hard to care if unvoiced

[slow raft]

Did you get to rocused encounters or did you just do the chaining?

[runic ether]

especially with modern gaming standards

[glossy latch]

I mean I mostly just watched some gameplay lmao

[slow raft]

This is so true, i often find myself skipping sim uni dialogue even if i dont want to

[old galleon]

tbf for me at least, fgo story is still quite good despite almost none of it being voiced

tho in a game with both voiced and unvoiced i can understand

[runic ether]

but i imagine its a combo of not wanting to make each va as rich as nepal is off one patch and also the file size going up in size the same way the grinch's heart did

[rapid bough]

it's not a lack of voiceover that's inherently problematic, plenty of unvoiced nikke events are fantastic for instance

[old galleon]

i'd agree, i'm just saying i can see why people might be less engaged by unvoiced stuff

[slow raft]

So you dont even understand the mecahnics

[runic ether]

word dumps dont help yes

[rapid bough]

it's a lack of voiceover apparently being accompanied by the editors being on strike and not willing to trim down the writing to normal levels

[runic ether]

this isnt the case for hoyo

they actually write all that text down

they do trim it

💀

[rapid bough]

nah the trimmed portions are what they use for the voice acted segments

[runic ether]

english text is trimmed down from chinese iirc

[glossy latch]

I mean yeah

[rapid bough]

for unvoiced portions they just write as much as they want because they're probably paid by the word and don't need to worry about getting a VA to record lines for five centuries

[slow raft]

Nasu when he writes more words than the bible for a single chapter because of his arthurian myth hyperfixation again

[glossy latch]

Im not gonna invest time if I dont think Ill like it

[slow raft]

Fair

[old galleon]

nasu when he writes a big enough stack to cover a corner of the library of alexandria

[rapid bough]

i swear there have been single unvoiced dialogue interactions in ZZZ with more text than like 5 nikke event chapters on their own

[glossy latch]

Especially since my backlog is eternal as is

Again, havent even finished LaL

And Trails through Daybreak 2 is coming out in a week

[idle grove]

and it's all pure cinema

[old galleon]

also fgo, also arknights

[rapid bough]

if it's all story relevant text then even then i can get through it

[runic ether]

this is the hoyo way

[slow raft]

True

[rapid bough]

but so much of that text is repetitive and/or pointless

[runic ether]

(its about someone's dog in a hollow)

(it'll be relevant to hugo and vivian)

[idle grove]

somehow FGO writes so much and then it doesn't feel like it's overstayed its welcome

[slow raft]

If theres two things that nasu loves its arthurian myth and giant women

[idle grove]

I wish avalon would get a 25 episode anime adaptation

it really needs minimal fgo knowledge because it is just its own story

[runic ether]

thats 2 things i have in common with nasu

[slow raft]

I feel like unironically it would feel rushed with only 25

[idle grove]

yeah probably

but when does modern anime do more than 25

give me back my 50 episode mecha animes

[rapid bough]

speaking of random side story lore dumps, nikke coming in hot with unexpected ingrid lore (tacticaltitac is ingrid's burner account lol)

[old galleon]

where's this from?

[wispy goblet]

Ingrid confirmed had a dad

[slow raft]

Cutting it less close than usual

[rapid bough]

text exchange after a sidequest in chapter 25

[summer hornet]

best we can do is 4 12-episode cours spread across 6 years

[glossy latch]

But how would you describe Limbus' gameplay Guy?

[idle grove]

[slow raft]

Gambling

[old galleon]

sao isn't a mecha anime : ^)

[rapid bough]

no but AoT is

[slow raft]

Idk its a bit difficult to describe
Def turn based strategy

[runic ether]

i think every limbus company character i've seen is right up my alley i just havent gotten around to delving into project moon shit yet

[slow raft]

You do have to adapt to bad luck from time to time but its mostly teambuilding and counteracting what your opponents do

[long tree]

Just hear the thonk of the chain and then hit auto

[slow raft]

You can also do index gaming

In fact, if you come into the game nowadays and pull/borrow one or two modern units you can probably winrate your way all the way till 4-48

[summer hornet]

it seemed sort of like FGO? Each unit gets 2 cards per turn, with the chance to get more based on special effects and gauges and whatnot? But the actual 1v1 combat confused me

[honest pawn]

guy do you think misty would be a ||xiao|| stan or an ||angelica|| stan

[slow raft]

Each unit gets a slot where 2 cards are drawn from at the start

You can swap the bottom of them out for defense or ego skills, and when you use a card it gets replaced by the next

There are certain scenarios whwre you can get more slots

(Eg solos)

Two types of encounter, focused and not

In focused you can have to target enemy slots yourself, in not focused you dont have the choice

[slow raft]

||Angelica|| 100%

[runic ether]

superficially i'd swing towards either

[slow raft]

does the knowledge that angelica does ||essentially dante combos|| change that in some way?

[runic ether]

somewhat

which style

[honest pawn]

yes

[wispy goblet]

Missilis Defender gear
only Missilis Defenders I have are Centi and Ether

It's time

[glossy latch]

Why is this Shiyu also suddenly way harder?

I am s truggling with the sixth one, nvm the seventh

I missed out on A-rank even

[glossy latch]

Ok did it by switching Yanagi around

Somehow Harumasa still feels weak, and idk why

[rapid bough]

are you big braining his burst rotation to get like 14 slashes or w/e the number is

[glossy latch]

Well I am doing some optimisation, but not perfect optimisation

That shouldnt be the difference between an S- and a B-rank tho

Idk, it really feels like mine is weaker than he should be, and I cant quite figure out why

Eh, Ill revisit it at some point

Ok looking at it my ATK might be low, tho idk why

Still, did get an S-rank by using Yanagi on the electric half and Piper as the Miyabi engine

[wispy goblet]

FIRST TEN PULL LET'S GOOOOO
I'd like to thank everyone else for lending me their luck spirit bomb-style

[glossy latch]

Actually, I am starting to think that pairing Yanagi and Miyabi might like

Not be good?

[wispy goblet]

ALSO BUILT-IN DUPE IN THE FIRST TEN PULL LET'S GOOOOOOO

[glossy latch]

Like Yanagi wants to be on-field as much as possible, and while Miyabi can be used just for burst windows, she feels stronger as an on-field too?

Granted maybe my Miyabi is just not strong enough yet

[rapid bough]

you'd be wrong lol

yanagi can work just fine without 100% field time since miyabi buffs anomaly buildup rate and sets up free disorders by the dozen

in fact disorder spam is basically yanagi's purpose when used with miyabi

[old galleon]

patrick star sends his regards

also congrats

[rapid bough]

miyabi feels strong as an on-fielder because she's OP

but she's awkward as a solo carry without dupes

[glossy latch]

Yeah no I get all that

It just feels like Yanagi is stronger as a second team?

[wispy goblet]

solo raid time
how far can we go this event

[glossy latch]

Like playing an undergeared piper felt worse, but not so much worse that it wasnt worth it

[rapid bough]

well there are a lot of teams miyabi works fine with, mostly on account of her being OP as shit

[glossy latch]

But also Harumasa just felt so bad on the first half, and I really dunno why lmao

[old galleon]

water weak?

[wispy goblet]

ye
Material H

[old galleon]

i have exactly zero water dps built up lol

i don't expect to full clear

[wispy goblet]

first three I should be able to two
last time it was stages 4 and 5 I was struggling with

[rapid bough]

ludmommy gonna have to carry me to the promised land

[wispy goblet]

I have Quency EQ, Ice Ludmilla, and Ice Guillotine

[old galleon]

my ludmilla's as close to it as i can i guess, but only 1 or 2 pieces

[wispy goblet]

gotta remember to split them across different teams for the harder difficulties

[old galleon]

helm lacks her favorite item so her damage falls off a cliff comparatively

[rapid bough]

i'm high enough level that i can easily auto all but the final challenge stage tho

[old galleon]

(must be nice)

[rapid bough]

even with suboptimal teams

base privaty gonna come in clutch for these attempts

[wispy goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/blahaj-gif-27048745

[runic ether]

19

[old galleon]

i will not condone this incineroar on kyogre violence

[wispy goblet]

got an SMG doll at least
might throw that on Quency EQ

[runic ether]

its 19 slashes

results in big pp damage

[rapid bough]

19? jfc how

[runic ether]

animation cancels

or u pulled c1

whichever

c0 can do it but its strict

[rapid bough]

i might have to pull silver anby for a braindead electric DPS so i don't have to worry about 500 apm harumasa play lol

[glossy latch]

Ok I see a way to up his damage, but I need to get some very specific discs

[runic ether]

https://youtu.be/pNJFzk4R_PU?feature=shared

[glossy latch]

Ok he does like

60+k per dash attack

And I know Qingyi adds a fair bit of damage, but somehow Im closer to 20k

[runic ether]

have you maxed his relevant skills?

[slow raft]

No, he needed to get perfect disks first, obvs

[rapid bough]

classic ovven

[runic ether]

[glossy latch]

I have actually

His dash attack is maxed out, his core skill is one short

[runic ether]

max core

[glossy latch]

Mostly because the CR boost would overcap and the 6% crit damage core gives is not that much

[runic ether]

its his biggest skill then dash then normal and ult

[glossy latch]

So I've been focusing on other core skills

[slow raft]

Speaking of disks, i have started relic/disk farming again and i sure do love dumping an entire days worth of energy without getting anything useable from it

[glossy latch]

I think my goal now is gonna be to try and max out some of his skills

[runic ether]

the strongest of us are those who go into the mines for literal yesrs to get a 2% increase

[glossy latch]

And then try to switch woodpecker to branch and blade song

Mostly because I have a maxed out 5 piece thats way better than his current one

[slow raft]

Reminds me of the time i spend two weeks farming for firefly gear and its still ass

[rapid bough]

[glossy latch]

But also I can un-overcap

And replace it with a ton of crit damage

The annoying part is I need a specific disc 4 tho >.>

[rapid bough]

alright time for a gfl2 standard banner pulling frenzy, i got 73 standard tickets

[runic ether]

honestly 2pc/2pc/2pc is not bad in haru

[rapid bough]

first 10-pull after selecting qiongjiu as rate up, it is simply that easy folks

[glossy latch]

Not with the amount of ATK I have as is lmao

[slow raft]

Atleast hsr has a feature where it highlights the good substats now, that makes sifting through hundreds of relics to find a useable one much more bearable

[rapid bough]

just hit the 260 guarantee too, picked up tololo

[slow raft]

Could not be me

[rapid bough]

last 10-pull got me a second qiongjiu

so 70 pulls got me 2 qiongjiu and a tololo, blessed

[slow raft]

Also could not be me

[rapid bough]

unfortunately qiongjiu's first two fortification nodes aren't that good

her v3 is a massive powerspike though, i want that shit

[slow raft]

Tho atleast in this game i have already won a coinflip and even got a unit before pity

Massive Ws

[glossy latch]

Still idk, its kinda weird, my Harumasa isnt perfect but he should be good enough at least

Also the more I play the game the more I wonder

Wtf is the point of the defense class?

[runic ether]

its the jack of all trades

minor buffs, minor stun, minor dps

[rapid bough]

supposed to be a support/stun hybrid but the best ones can be used almost entirely off-field so it's kinda awkward

[slow raft]

Then maybe its time to apply a classic german proverb "Der fehler befindet sich zwischen der tastatur und dem stuhl"

[runic ether]

does it all

[rapid bough]

god leveling dolls and weapons from 50->60 costs so many fucking XP mats

[glossy latch]

Actually defense is the only class where everyone is clearly an adult

[runic ether]

zzz thankfully has made it clear everyone playable so far is an adult

[glossy latch]

Anby is an adult?

I thought she was like 15 or 16

[runic ether]

she is probably among the older of the cast

soukaku is actually at most 16

[rapid bough]

i want this so bad for ZZZ btw, trawling through 100 bad disks to find the 3 good ones is diabolical

[runic ether]

but shes not a little girl

[slow raft]

Btw, how good is astra? Generally i am under the impression that pulling for supports in hoyo games is worth it but i kinda feel like skipping her for evelyn

[rapid bough]

she's cracked

[runic ether]

shes good

there is teams where she is very good and others where she is insane in

and others where she is a sidegrade tbh

[rapid bough]

very easy to use + promotes fun as hell gameplay + works basically anywhere

[runic ether]

if you have caesar ez skip

[rapid bough]

i have caesar and got her and regret nothing

[runic ether]

yeah same but if support i pull

[rapid bough]

she takes yanagi/miyabi comp to insane levels

[glossy latch]

Wait really?

I thought Anby was basically a child soldier

[runic ether]

depending on how things play out, she was the original of the line of soldiers that obol squad produced

[glossy latch]

Like I know Piper's gimmick is that shes actually like 40 and just looks young, but Anby always struck me as actually being young

[runic ether]

so shes like easily in her late 20s

[slow raft]

[runic ether]

shes older than nicole m

[slow raft]

Well maybe if i can get together a shitload of pulls

[glossy latch]

Wack

Lucy is also like 18 from what I remember

[runic ether]

around 18-20

bit younger than nicole

[glossy latch]

Ok yeah idk what it is, but my Harumasa's dash attacks do like a third of other peoples dash attacks

[versed pawn]

Astra miyabi Nicole

[slow raft]

W engine diff?

[runic ether]

maybe

[versed pawn]

Got Astra weapon today

[runic ether]

are you on stralight replica?

[versed pawn]

Welp I guess I have to rebuild again

[runic ether]

event wengine?

[rapid bough]

now share with the class how many miyabi dupes you have lol

[versed pawn]

Because I overcap atk now

I have m1 miyabi

M2 got spooked by grace

[runic ether]

i thought about going for m1

but m0 cleaned everything and anything so i just didnt

[slow raft]

I got m0 and got the greedkest ive ever been and pulled for the w engine

[rapid bough]

same guy, based

[slow raft]

Hopefully the last time i feel compelled to pull weapons ever, but likely not

[versed pawn]

Now I probably try Nicole's dps even with Astra in team instead of AP because that 1200 atk buff helps

[rapid bough]

imo the only reason to go for more (m2 mainly) is if you want to make miyabi smoother as a solo carry

[versed pawn]

M1 actually helps that alot since u get your stacks faster because frost fire is removed faster from enemy m2 just makes u start with 6 stacks and 15% cr

[rapid bough]

doesn't m2 also give you a stack at the end of your basic chain

[runic ether]

m1 is the one that frees up her comps more

[versed pawn]

Not to sure but I know m1 removes frost fire and u can a stack when u apply frost fire usually u can't reapply it while it's on the enemy

M1 I'd also 6% def shred per stack

Tho not sure if I go ap Nicole

Or just crit now

[glossy latch]

Event, same as the showcases I checked

[runic ether]

okay good though idk where you are slacking then

[versed pawn]

But my Astra could run crit % on 4 now since I overcap atk now with her weapon

[slow raft]

Maybe posta screenshot of numbers and skill levels?

Also you should really not be awake at this hour

[glossy latch]

Pot meet kettle

I am going to bed in a second

[versed pawn]

I'm still at work

[slow raft]

You work nightshifts or smth?

[versed pawn]

Ye

Always

[slow raft]

Well then its not unusual

Ovven and i dont have that excuse

[versed pawn]

I want to be in bed so bad tho I have a cold

[runic ether]

the excuse is mastering harumasamasa combos

[glossy latch]

No the excuse I have is depression and a fucked up sleep cycle

Anyway Im gonna go sleep now in fact

Maybe Ill figure out Harumasa tomorrow

[runic ether]

[slow raft]

Sadly staying up late is just gonna lead to PEKAC situations

Also

[glossy latch]

... que?

[slow raft]

Problem exists between keyboard and computer

[glossy latch]

Oh

[slow raft]

Skill issue in other words

[rapid bough]

evelyn only a week away and i'm realistically only gonna have like 60 pulls banked by the time she drops

60 pulls and a dream

(obviously i can get quite a few more while her banner is running, realistically i'm pretty confident i can at least get to pity... but that means i am at 50/50's mercy)

[runic ether]

godspeed

[rapid bough]

apparently gfl2 KR dataminers did their thing again and cracked future gacha data

2/27 (Centa, Ullrid)

3/20 (Klukai Machiatto)

4/10 (mechty Daiyan)

centaureissi after dushevnaya, then klukai, then mechty

we'll see how true this ends up being, iirc the leaks last time had makiatto and daiyan right but then had centaureissi next and it ended up being dushevnaya

klukai in 1.5 months would be wild and much earlier than expected

[timber sigil]

Oh fuck Klukai this early?

[simple wind]

Oh new battle cats update is out for JP that has the valkyrie and Bahamut talents

valk getting well designed talents like cost down, stat ups, berserk

Bahamut getting the new blast attack talent effectively DOUBLING it’s already insane damage output

[timber sigil]

70 of the standard pulls got me 1 Mosin and 1 Qiongjiu so pretty happy about that

[timber sigil]

2 more gold stage runs per day yay

[idle grove]

is Dushev today

[timber sigil]

yeah

https://i.imgur.com/toOMswt.jpeg

they did wordplay lol

[rapid bough]

i did, but astra does so much more for my account (on top of also being cute as hell) and if she's the one that cost me my evelyn guarantee i can live with that

astra has waifu + meta going for her, evelyn i'd only be pulling for turbo-waifu (which is a fair reason)

[dull bridge]

bro this shit was good

rmb when everyone was like

silver wolf is a must have for the rest of the game

or whatevrr

[versed pawn]

didt get dush

but got 2 qj

[runic ether]

as a stellaron hunter, shes actually one of the most likely to be buffed to high heaven given the popularity of the group

[torn shadow]

I'd rather get E1 on Boothill than pull for Silver Wolf

[dull bridge]

i want e2? sw

whcihever one reduces effevt res by a million

i should play hsr again

is there a lot of nee ahit

nee shit

who should i build or what

like a team or smt

i think the teams i had was acheron hyper

and some fup team

what the fuck

who the hell is this

she looks cool as shit

i want her

or him?

or them?

or it?

[runic ether]

you see her massive tits and ask her gender this is totally fair to do but lol

[dull bridge]

well tbf

it was more the things around her

i didnt know if it was like an it

[runic ether]

garmentmaker

[dull bridge]

with it being multiple things

oh cool

wait rememberance

[runic ether]

the voice of garmentmaker was feminine

yes

new path

[dull bridge]

WAIT WHAT

holyyyy

[runic ether]

garmentmaker is a summon she calls on with her skill

[dull bridge]

whats its thing

[runic ether]

and her skill after its summoned either resummons

[dull bridge]

i thought rememberence was all like freze or something

[runic ether]

or heals and advances the action of it

[dull bridge]

sick

ill pull her

[runic ether]

rememberance is characterized by summons

[dull bridge]

she looks cool enough

[runic ether]

before you pull

do you have sunday

[dull bridge]

i prob should pull robin cause shes insane but like

oh is sunday required

nvm

[runic ether]

robin works too

no

he isnt required

[dull bridge]

robin pull time

[runic ether]

but aglaea will heavily appreciate having sunday

[dull bridge]

yeah thats fine

ill pull robin

[runic ether]

it'd be like acheron without jiaoqiu or firefly without ruan mei basically

[dull bridge]

shes just so good

well

i dont have juaoqiu

i really wajt him

did i miss his rerun again

right thats what I was doing

saving for jiaoqiu

[long tree]

Aglaea getting hated for preferring to have Sunday

Meanwhile every break effect character when they're deprived Ruan mei

[runic ether]

no he hasnt rerun yet

[dull bridge]

ok

ill keep saving

[runic ether]

aglaea may be the best dps in the game rn with her full set up for any content

some more testing is required but

she is kind of fucked

[dull bridge]

aww is acheron not insane anymore

[runic ether]

she is

[dull bridge]

and that fox girl

[long tree]

It's hsr if the new DPS isn't best in the game anymore they go in the bin of no return

[runic ether]

but aglaea may be stronger because of how the summons work

[dull bridge]

the single target nuke

or whatever

[runic ether]

since garmentmaker takes very unique advantage of things

[dull bridge]

whos like a fox but also the other thing

[runic ether]

with garmentmaker during aglaea's ult

[dull bridge]

the enemies of fox

[runic ether]

feixiao

but yeah garmentmaker and aglaea both individually trigger robin

they both individually trigger some other effects

even though aglaea does her normal

if garmentmaker does her own thing at the same time during ult, she benefits from the buff(s)

even if its a single target effect

doubling up on this, is as you can probably expect, kind of cracked

though a big thing holding her back is her energy and speed needs

since i have hyperspeed sunday, im incentivized to build hyperspeed aglaea

which is harder without her sig or her e1

[dull bridge]

ahhh

this is less of like raw numbers are higher

[runic ether]

yeah no

[dull bridge]

but more like not conceptual

[runic ether]

boothill still has the highest raw single target numbers off a single strike

[dull bridge]

but like

[runic ether]

and the herta has the highest aoe

[dull bridge]

diffirent way to do shit

[runic ether]

but aglaea has good numbers but often times doubled up

[dull bridge]

wait is there a new trailblaze mission?

[runic ether]

in a similar way to how feixiao will outdamage boothill in single target scenarios because she can strike twice then thrice then again and do it quicker

[runic ether]

there is a whole new planet bro

[patent swift]

What would a good aglaea team even be

[runic ether]

optimal is sunday/robin/huohuo

robin can be rememberance mc

[patent swift]

No robin bc I have her on my FUA team with hmarch & feixiao

Oh ok

Genuine question what does RMC even do

[runic ether]

mem

[patent swift]

What does mem do

Like I've finished 3.0 and I've used rmc but I have no clue what they actually do

[dull bridge]

ok cool but misty what the fuck

no way

i never thought they would do this

[slow raft]

????

[dull bridge]

sorry my images arent loadi ngl

[slow raft]

oh

[dull bridge]

the new stuff

thiss

is insane to me

[slow raft]

i thought you didnt think theyd ever go to a new planet lmao

[dull bridge]

nah

so if im getting this correct

the firs tthing

allows me to put 4 stats in crit

to get max value crit artis?

and second one basically lets me choose 2/4 secondary stats for relics

like the other thing

the resin

can both be used at same time

when creating artifact?

[glossy latch]

I mean Fugue is an option now

[slow raft]

Wow i have 0 out of 3 of these

Gonna pull for anyways

And in the process of getting pulls ill get the new tb so not all is lost

[runic ether]

tingyun/rmc/gallagher works

its

weird

aglaea's f2p team is quite potent

oh lol

i meant to reply to u guy

[slow raft]

I figured

I wont be able to use my firefly team along side this anyways since id need rb foe it so i guess gallagher is fair

[runic ether]

gallager specifically is on quid pro quo

tingyun speed tuning will have to be quite extreme

maybe eagle set

and rmc is fine with a more baseline fast kit

but quid pro quo is important

aglaea's energy needs are kind of crazy at e0

[dull bridge]

i love this new sunday attire it looks so comfy and cool

[runic ether]

unless you are fine having some downtime

[slow raft]

Alternatively i can jjst not use her till i eventually pull for some of the other characters

[runic ether]

true

[slow raft]

Becazse i feel like id rather off myself before i actually try speedtuning

[runic ether]

though i feel like that'd be somewhat a waste

a team of aglaea/tingyun/rmc/gallagher can *possibly speed run

but its less viable for farming

should be more than fine for general gameplay

[slow raft]

I mean ive done a large part of the game with blade, i think im fine with not being optimal

[runic ether]

yeah aglaea's clunkyness only really comes up in moc and apoc shadow

[slow raft]

Even firefly was already blowing my mind with how fast you can win battles

[runic ether]

clunky at e0 without her best team

oh ig she can be clunky in pure fiction too

[versed pawn]

Nope it just reroll them so if u have a +4 item it will redistribute those +4 randomly again

Helps rerolling good gear pieces too but not guaranteed to be a upgrade

[dull bridge]

ohhh

i see

[versed pawn]

Keep them for good 4 starters

With at least 3 good stats

Preferably all 4 good

[digital marlin]

what about e1

[runic ether]

e1 solves her energy for the most part

can let you get away with a support that doesnt grant energy (like if you have no sunday or can't use tingyun)

or let you get away with a sustain that grants no energy (like if you dont have huohuo or quid pro quo gallager)

[digital marlin]

going to hope for e1 after i g4et her LC

[runic ether]

hm

lc may be of less importance

depends on your roster

[digital marlin]

i do no have Huohou or Sunday

[runic ether]

do you have an action advancer?

like sparkle or bronya?

[digital marlin]

Yes

[runic ether]

do you have a fully built quid pro quo gallagher?

cus the reason for aglaea lc is mostly for her hyperspeed builds and her better speed tuning options with say

160 speed bronya

161 speed aglaea

but her energy needs will still be pretty high

so it puts an emphasis on her e1 being more comfortable

to be clear

2 trains of thought

give up on her speed, let her ult and garmentmaker carry it and max out damage during her ult

or focus on her having insane speeds to abuse her time during her ult

doable at e0 and s0

quite hard to get right

[digital marlin]

SPEED

[idle grove]

good lord

[old galleon]

only 16k? rookie numbers

[rapid bough]

haters will say it's photoshopped

[old galleon]

this also describes 99% of drake's other "acts of villainy"

[rapid bough]

(it's also not photoshopped, this is real dialogue from SKK in her bond story i think)

[wispy goblet]

okay
gotta get my three new meta-ish nikkes up in skills....

[old galleon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bulV2flyndw

should be starting soon

[astral drift]

append skill 4/5???

[old galleon]

maybe if you give lady yu chocolate to make her happy, they'll give us early appends

stream's over

tldr the pope kills with smiles and lilim harlot got teased

pretty much it

[astral drift]

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-gif-18148683

[summer hornet]

Lmao

Do we have a date for Ordeal Call?

[old galleon]

should be april but i don't remember if it was shown in that roadmap or not

[rapid bough]

gfl2 update allows farming hard mode stages before finishing the story too

this gfl2 patch is an absolute banger

so many QoL changes

[old galleon]

actually unironically based

give me the qol change that makes it less annoying to run on my device and i'll get back into it more

[rapid bough]

think that one might just need a new device lol

[old galleon]

tbf i managed to get nikke working on it decently enough, load in time aside

[rapid bough]

nikke's issues are all related to their goddamn anticheat

[old galleon]

and that has more moving parts

the anticheat that doesn't even dissuade people from using macros bc their alice gameplay is just that bad?

[rapid bough]

fun fact actually, they once made the anticheat too sensitive to that and it started nuking people's accounts just for spam-shotting on RLs and SRs in general, no macros

[old galleon]

quality

[rapid bough]

anyway anticheat being a blight upon whatever game it's added to, what else is new

[wispy goblet]

putting together solo mode teams

[old galleon]

speaking of, this one's a pain in the ass

the minions feel like they have hit based hp

[rapid bough]

they do

[old galleon]

so gotta account for that
