Side stories slowing me down

old galleon
#

the entire point of aes is to be used in a grid that gets to 100% crit, which i think you need 4 of

#

you can check your grid crit chance by clicking the i button next to the estimated damage on the bottom right

#

make sure you do so with the right support summon

#

crimson scale is probably better than garnet broadaxe in your grid, but removing it is one less piece for voltage mod, which may or may not matter too much depending

summer hornet
#

Ahhh... Yeah, that's 68% Crit chance

Granblue Fantasy Wiki

Advanced Grids is a comprehensive guide for experienced players looking to optimize their weapon grids for various content.
Early game players should start with Basic Grids and Sierokarte's Knickknack Academy to build a foundational grids before exploring this page. Players are assumed to be at least rank 151 and above.

#

you can also check that page

#

there's a grid templates section that has some cores you can consider, if you have the pieces

#

basic staff grid, aes, etc

#

crimson scale slots fine in any of them

#

lemme get in game and see if i can whip up something for ya

summer hornet
#

Man it's been a while

#

Still mostly the same, but it seems people have finished scaling the new omega iii weapons

old galleon
#

omega 3 is an eventual goal for you, yes

#

fire and water in particular benefited greatly

#

so this with 2x colo (take the highest starred support you can, ideally fully transcended since it has 170% mod)

#

would form the core of an aes grid

#

you get guaranteed crits, enmity for longer fights where you know you'll be taking damage

#

but i wouldn't say it's suitable for bursting if you have better options

#

crimson scale is still totally fine here

#

really, outside of like, dedicated ca grids, you can probably put it in everything and be fine

summer hornet
#

Supplemental damage is supplemental damage

#

Are those aes fully uncapped?

old galleon
#

yes but it's fine since you get a bunch from siero academy

summer hornet
#

It really does come back to siero academy...

#

I'll read through the side stories soon then

old galleon
#

for aes specifically you'll want stage 5 of fire

#

there are a bunch of missions that drop one each

#

for a total of four

Wait the ||Castorice|| global passive thing in HSR isnt a bug???

Finally got a 20k in deadly assault

so its a passive currently working for the base game not the end game content and there isnt a way to test if it works for moc/pf/as

#

finally got koleda for evelyn and i'm glad i did

#

desperately needed the stunner to finish the evelyn comp w/ astra

#

shame i don't have lighter but koleda ain't bad

#

managed to get 20k on pompey this rotation with astra/evelyn/koleda

#

and that was with, as usual, poor rotations because it was my very first time using the team lol

#

i know it's her whole niche but the fact that koleda hits EX special and deadass does like 50% or more of a boss's daze bar is kinda wild

#

Wow I'm surprised Jingliu's and Dan Heng's quests were not part of the main story. They were pretty good yet optional?

summer hornet
#

Missteps of Luofu

#

Really should've covered that in the main quest before Dan Heng turned Imbibitor Lunae, but at least we got it

#

And it WAS well done

rigid pilot
#

I assume this was released through a couple of patches because it doesn't make sense to have it so... fragmented? But it doesn't quite make a lot of sense to me why it seems like they stopped and moved on to the next world.

#

Though I like full clearing my quest logs before hitting the next main quest so I'll be back

also hes fucking dr ratio??

#

yeah this is jordan haro's voice

#

fuckk

#

i need him carnally

#

oh his kit is quite interesting

#

tldr on gimmick: he ends the stun window early cashing in on the damage all at once and then reapplies some daze. has off field damage and app to work with stunners

#

depending on the numbers this could be a little op lol

#

lighter and lycaon are already quite good

#

lighter in particular wants a lot of field time

#

which hugo gladly gives to pay off the stun very fast

#

and as predicted, she is the jane sub dps basically

#

though reading her a bit, she will want some field time kind of like burnice so she fits yanagi better

Tbh it is weird that its barely even visible

But also her umbrella is so long its basically a spear anyway

runic ether

yeah she thrusts with it like it is one

glossy latch

Yeah, and its handle is unusually long

Normally an umbrella is like maybe 20 cm below the parts that you fold out, hers is like a good meter past that

I'm finishing up the last (I assume?) Belobog case with Topaz and the IPC and geeeez Aventurine at the end his voice is extremely homosexual I get it.

Also yeahhhh The Family does not inspire any sort of confidence of being a good organization lol

#

Also I liked the symbolizm that Topaz had at the end. Early on, she had said how "such a species had likely gone extinct" at the museum, then she tells Bronya the IPC helped her world bring back extinct species, and at the very end, the same extinct species was back.

#

can they also give me 90k crystals so i can spark basara

#

anyway, this banner will change over to something else before the next roulette roll

#

so you can use them now or hold until tomorrow morning

#

also note that maintenance starts in a little over 8 hours, expected to run for 5 hours

#

so if you want to roll on this banner for whatever reason, do that before tonight

#

oh they finally made pg hammers buyable

#

about fucking time

#

i expect this to drop post-maintenance ofc

#

i think ultimately im gonna pick the anomaly w engine from the battlepass, idt im in need of any of the others for a while

runic ether

anomaly difference

#

yeah i went ahead and got the pass after the convo we had last time cus i am going to get jane + vivian and i sure as hell dont have enough anomaly engines otherwise

rapid bough
#

yeah i have 4 of the anomaly BP engine lol

#

i'm prolly gonna stop buying the BP now

#

it's not awful value but it's most helpful for getting agent leveling mats

#

in terms of pull value it's basically the same as just buying monochrome straight up

#

(which isn't great value)

#

if you need the leveling mats or the wengine too it's prolly worth, but i don't anymore lol

#

cause ive been sitting here for 4 hours without getting a new fish

and theres no pity!

rapid bough
#

this post written by a resident evelyn stan without her wengine

#

i did 3* pompey with astra/evelyn/koleda tho

rapid bough
#

so its rewards will be permanent as well

glossy latch
#

... I do have Lighter though

rapid bough
#

probably an even give/take there tbh

#

what you lose in astra you gain in lighter, probably

glossy latch
#

Iirc Astra adds more to Evelynn specifically

#

Also man was Lighter a good investment

rapid bough
#

but with only one or the other i figure they probably add about the same amount

rapid bough
#

if forced to weigh lighter vs miyabi, the latter is clearly the better get

glossy latch
#

I believe Astra is still better since you generate more burning embers

glossy latch
#

It's also because he might be Hugos BiS stunner

#

Also you call it "luck-sacked", I call it optimised gambling

rapid bough
#

you luck sacked lol

rigid pilot
#

HOOK!?

#

I was half expecting Kafka or Himeko or Asta

rapid bough
#

almost all your damage is done in the stun window anyway

#

and you should be going into that with enough embers to do your gorillion chain attacks anyway

glossy latch
#

Eh, a majority yes, but with the current stunner options Evelyn is gonna take a lot of field time

#

So it does matter

#

Even moreso with Koleda who takes basically no field time

#

And even moreso in DA where you actually get to the post-ult rotation that's way faster

rapid bough
#

even if astra alone comes out on top it's just because her buffs are more generic and strong, not because you get slightly more burning embers from perfect assists

glossy latch
#

I mean it's a factor

#

... I do wonder if I'll use Lighter for Hugo or Lycaon

runic ether
#

both

#

atm, his most optimal team on v1 calcs should be both lycaon and lighter

glossy latch
#

... que? You don't use a support?

rapid bough
glossy latch
#

Oh in that regard probably

#

Lighter just enables more future characters

#

Which I value more

runic ether
#

lighter and lycaon would support hugo better than any current support we have

#

you can make an argument for astra

#

hugo/lighter/astra

#

but lycaon and lighter will give you the best shred and support and stun for hugo's damage

rapid bough
#

imo miyabi enables characters too by merit of the fact that she's basically a crutch that comfortably clears content enough that you get some leeway in experimenting elsewhere in multi-phase content like shiyu in DA lol

#

it's more indirect but it really can't be overstated how cracked miyabi is and what that does to an account

glossy latch
#

Wild

rapid bough
#

i've gotten away with some truly awful shiyu desperation comps because miyabi steamrolled one half of it

glossy latch
#

Does mean running Hugo is kinda hard if the other side is fire weak

#

Although Vivian should buff Jane

runic ether
#

vivian is solid for jane but she's going to be better for yanagi atm

#

though of course gotta keep an eye on it during this beta

#

but its looking like hugo is going to gap vivian by a lot

#

he's looking at miyabi-esque damage

rapid bough
#

wat

glossy latch
#

I mean yeah but it's mostly about ensuring I can cover just about any weakness

#

OK to be fair

#

That's probably after they beefed Vivian's core passive by 90%

#

Nerfed

runic ether
# rapid bough wat

hugo's damage window being so short means with a well built lighter and lycaon, your damage burst is going to be huge

glossy latch
#

Because the OG one was turbobroken lmao

runic ether
#

he is essentially doing miyabi full charge attacks per stun

#

with (atm) comparable damage to her normals

#

and between lighter and lycaon, you'll get that stun

rapid bough
#

but surely miyabi spams the shit out of her charge attacks faster than stuns happen

runic ether
#

2x stun should get you there

#
  • the shreds
#

also he uses horomone punk extremely well but has no personal disc set yet

glossy latch
#

That's a lot of stun very quickly

#

And he basically skips the being stunned part

runic ether
#

vivian on the otherhand enhances jane and yanagi a hell of a lot (and of course miyabi) but not to an insane degree like how hugo boosts those 2 stunners

#

^

glossy latch
#

So you can reapply immediately

runic ether
#

hugo gets to frontload all the stun window damage, and then you swap out again to stun just as fast again

rapid bough
#

when a miyabi/nagi/astra comp gets rolling i've literally fired off like 3 of her charge attacks in like 5 or 6 seconds

glossy latch
#

Plus his damage on a stunned target is genuinely ludicrous

runic ether
#

i will say

rapid bough
#

i find it very hard to believe they stun that fast

glossy latch
#

It's like what

runic ether
#

i heavily doubt he makes it out of the beta with the numbers current and/or full kit like this

glossy latch
#

5000% multiplier further increased by stun duration?

runic ether
#

plus the shreds

glossy latch
#

Probably not sadly

rapid bough
#

there's no shot they powercreep their void hunter waifu with a rando aura farmer lol

runic ether
#

he wont overpower miyabi

glossy latch
#

Vivian did get nerfed already

#

She uh

runic ether
#

because it is a very specific team comp

#

and if you cant break, you're out of luck

#

miyabi can brute force

glossy latch
#

Originally synergised way too well with shock

runic ether
#

even if there is an ice resist

runic ether
rapid bough
#

i mean miyabi realistically needs specific team comps at c0 (which most people are) to feel like not shit

runic ether
#

but yeah

#

that was fucked lol

runic ether
rapid bough
#

well that's what i'm saying

runic ether
#

he needs 1 limited 5 star and another 5 star from standard

rapid bough
runic ether
#

its overall a similar level of investment requirements

rapid bough
#

i still remember the first time i used miyabi/nagi/astra in DA

runic ether
#

another downside to hugo, he doesnt really work as well with qingyi or anby

#

let alone pulchra or trigger

rapid bough
#

i was having trouble doing 20k to butcher with miyabi/nagi/caesar

runic ether
#

so he is a lot more specific

glossy latch
#

Imagine doing 8 times standard shock damage in addition to the normal shock damage on every attack lmao

rapid bough
#

i pulled astra and swapped caesar to her

#

next attempt i did 50k

#

it was legitimately absurd

runic ether
#

viv was also not gonna keep that

#

it seems it was a bug

glossy latch
#

Tbh I'm getting both either way

#

Vivian for Jane Doe since I don't have burnice

runic ether
#

im going to shoot for the moon

glossy latch
#

And Hugo just has cool animations

runic ether
#

im getting vivian, jane, hugo, and lighter if he is the rumored rerun

rapid bough
#

god i need a lighter rerun

#

if lighter reruns in the same patch i'm cooked

#

at least i don't need jane

runic ether
#

i will simply pull all of them in a single pull

rapid bough
#

gah fucking s.anby is first next patch too, i won't know whether to save for a hugo/vivian/lighter patch in time

runic ether
#

im skipping all of 1.6 for this

rapid bough
#

i need an electric dps that isn't harumasa/nagi so bad lol

#

i gotta go for s.anby

glossy latch
#

Yeah I'm skipping 1.6 too

rapid bough
#

but if i knew for sure that next next patch had hugo/vivian/lighter i might still skip her

runic ether
#

i really like anby but i need to not spend like 200 in 1.7

glossy latch
#

Harumasa will have to do

#

But also I have Yanagi

runic ether
#

yeah im just gonna get good at harumasa

#

im already pretty good at him

#

and his performance vs sanby is not too different

rapid bough
#

my harumasa is some ripe ass

#

both in terms of gear and my ability to play him

glossy latch
#

And tbh despite S0 Anby being the S rank

#

I think base Anby has the better design

runic ether
#

i kind of agree

#

i do like her new outfit (its very kiana-like) but the green just fits

rapid bough
#

i'm kinda whatever on both their designs but s.anby's combat animations clear by miles

glossy latch
#

I mostly just dislike her weapon

runic ether
#

thats the one thing i really like the most lol

glossy latch
#

Her base weapon just looks cooler to me

rapid bough
#

s.anby's ult is sick, base anby's ult has one of the best cutscenes and then it's literally just her ex special with more lightning

#

so sad

glossy latch
#

True

#

Anyway yeah, hopefully Vivian is Jane's BiS or at least comparable to burnice

rapid bough
#

what are the odds jane's team becomes jane/burnice/vivian lol

#

doesn't vivian do wack shit with all anomaly types

glossy latch
#

Sort of

#

The problem is disorder

#

Having three Anomaly units would clash

runic ether
#

yea you would rather take seth or rina in that slot to balance it out a bit

rapid bough
#

doesn't that mean more disorder which is a good thing

runic ether
#

yes and no

rapid bough
#

esp since phys anomaly isn't really fancy, just beeg number

runic ether
#

its like probably a good enough team just cus everyone's personal damage are good

#

but you wanna max out on jane's assault damage in that team

#

ie: vivian's great damage on her own, boosting jane's excellent damage on assault, boosted further with seth/rina

#

seth is probs best here

#

just for the small utility

rapid bough
#

haven't used seth since getting caesar lol

runic ether
#

oh right caesar also would be better than burnice generally

#

again, it'd most likely work anyways just cus all 3 characters would be contributing a fair bunch of damage but

#

you can end up interrupting yourself and/or not maxing out on the reason to play jane

#

of course, this is v1 ramblings

#

we'll see if during v5 we say the same thing

rapid bough
#

i think if lighter reruns in that patch he might be my priority even above vivian which hurts to say

#

we shall see

#

the possibility of hugo/vivian/lighter being in one patch has me strongly considering skipping s.anby

#

hugo is the least important of that trio to me, but if i can just get all 3 at once...

#

ugh

#

i might be skipping 1.6 too...

runic ether
#

the way i see it rn: vivian is enabling an existing team comp(s) that generally has pieces to it already anyways

#

hugo is a brand new dps overall since we havent had a dps do what he does yet

#

we have burst dps characters

#

but he blows his load (so to speak) immediately in a way that gets very comparable damage to miyabi

#

i think overall, unless you really like hugo, you can def skip him especially if you have miyabi

rapid bough
#

i play this game primarily for the waifus so the first casualty in any hard pull decision will always be the husbandos (see: skipping lighter when miyabi was next)

runic ether
#

and also, the fortunate part is that the beta will be running moreso before sanby's run ends

rapid bough
#

that said, targeting lighter without getting hugo if his best comp may very well end up as lighter+lycaon kinda feels like a waste

#

i already have lycaon so that doesn't worry me

runic ether
#

yea and while it isnt guaranteed that we'll see that be his best team comp

#

at least not post-v5

#

i have a feeling that the big reason they want to sell lighter is hugo and miyabi

#

and if you have any interest in either/both, you'll most likely want lighter

rapid bough
#

i actually want lighter almost entirely for evelyn lol

#

because astra/evelyn/lighter is lowkey kinda cracked

#

not miyabi tier but it still slaps some major ass

#

lighter benefitting miyabi and hugo in potentially major ways would be a welcome bonus tho

runic ether
#

yeah could very well give a plug and play team comp around lighter

rapid bough
#

stupid sexy lighter

#

hmm

#

guess i'll wait til s.anby's banner is almost done and see what we know then

#

gonna be tough resisting the temptation

#

since i do like s.anby

#

but i have substitutes for her, which wouldn't be necessarily true of lighter and hugo/vivian if i end up short of pulling them

#

damn no s.anby pulls means no shot at pulchra c6 either huh

runic ether
#

pulchra kinda got wrecked in v4

#

so its like

#

fine

rapid bough
#

rip

runic ether
#

(same with trigger tbh)

#

they were really scared of off-field stunners this patch

rapid bough
#

yeah i heard they nerfed both into the ground but wasn't familiar with the numbers

runic ether
#

they are far from bad

#

but they were really really good albeit imo, niche

rapid bough
runic ether
#

i think the fear is that they'd make a dps like sanby eve or 11 stand out significantly above harumasa/billy/zhu yuan

#

idk

#

cus sanby kind of escaped almost unscathed

rapid bough
#

yeah but sanby isn't putting out potential miyabi-tier damage is she

but of course, her numbers were always a bit above/below harumsasa

#

trigger could have enabled sanby/11/eve to go pretty far above the other dps characters consistently

#

pulchra too at a certain extent

#

especially with mindscapes

#

now, they do offer incredible options for these field time eaters

#

but they dont wreck the burst dps characters

runic ether
#

not like miyabi

#

miyabi can be ignorant in clicking her buttons

#

hugo needs you to understand stun windows and maxing those out with lighter and/or lycaon

im sure you can very likely get super technical with hugo to get his numbers looking insane

what the fuck are you cooking genshin

also pulchra pv

ah its like that

the sheet leaked with her background/backstory info implies that she was at one point, always alone as a person and cutthroat just like pulchra until some ppl sacrificed themselves for her during a job after which she had joined the sons of calydon hoping to bring them cheer the same way others did for her at that point too. idr the exact wording but it was also a sad backstory but masked deeply by her bubbly personality

did the step up spark in gbf, rolls only gave me one new character (golden knight)

spark choice was obvious

orologia wasn't even selectable so it was only a choice between zeta and cosmos

and while i like cosmos, zeta is more of a favorite

"a collection system without numerical attributes" makes me think either

  1. gacha system rolling for things (idk what) but with no publically available gacha rates (doubt, pretty sure this is illegal most places)
  2. a gacha system that has no impact on character power, is instead rolling for something else
#

cosmetics would be an easy target for (2), obviously we already have a costume gacha but that's for one specific costume, imagine if there was a banner for costumes lol

it's 500, 1500, 3000 mobacoin for a total of 5000

Oh pensivecowboybread

old galleon

which as of about an hour ago was about 37 bucks

Yeah that's a little too much for me right now lol

Haven't spent money on GBF since that one time two years ago or so, and not planning on it now

#

Just lemme know when gala starts

old galleon
#

sure thing

#

fwiw if you have enough to do the first step, that's 100 pulls for what should be a little under 4 dollars

#

it's the 200 and 300th pulls that get significantly pricier

#

but obv no pressure to do that

i just wanted zeta

so i grabbed that and the anni ticket but nothing else (i'm not doing grand scam this year)

#

you can see this in normal stages too sometimes, as raptures move toward the center of the field there's a sizeable area along the edges of the screen where nikkes won't auto shoot at them

#

you need to be in full burst and aiming manually to override their janky logic that prevents them from shooting at enemies on the edge of the screen

i assume ||it's some hugo/vivian scheme and he's not actually serious, but being ostensibly moments away from killing the protag isn't a good look even as an act||

||considering he'll have a trust story with events and shit they're gonna really have to turn that look on its head somehow lol||

#

||hoyo gets a lot of hate for not having more morally grey characters and honestly im all for zzz having some more of them like if hugo actually tries to kill us over something then sucks up to us after clearing it up im perfectly okay with that||

rapid bough
#

||"hey remember that time i threatened to kill you at knife point? that was fun. how bout a movie"||

#

||shoutout lycaon for absolutely obliterating hugo tho, dude punched THROUGH him||

#

||again, i feel like given the type of character hugo is that it's all some sort of scheme going to plan (vivian included since she's notably not really helping him in the leaked story images, she could be playing double agent)||

#

||but hard to conceive of a good plan that involves getting your shit kicked in by lycaon||

#

||like, i couldn't help but notice that in the images, after hugo takes belle hostage, vivian is the one who hands over the gem he seems to be looking for--that's sus given we know vivian is aligned with mockingbird/hugo||

#

||then hugo gets his clock cleaned by lycaon and "drops" the gem, but we know from astra's event that hugo is an expert at sleight of hand switcheroos since he did that to one of the disks in astra's staff||

#

||so this is screaming "set up to get the gem (whatever it is), then be apparently stopped/'defeated' but still actually make off with the gem", which incidentally supports the idea that hurting the proxy isn't actually his hugo's goal, he's just setting things up to appear like the villain and then lose so he can leave with the gem without suspicion ||

#

||we don't even see hugo's face as lycaon is dumpstering him which is a pretty sure sign to me that he's not "surprised" since i feel like they'd have shown it if he were||

one of my friends is saying the high ponytail is the best part about her new design

I'm very much inclined to agree

jesus christ how do you even have enough affinity gifts for that

#

mine is like level 12 or 13 lmao

timber sigil
#

ive been getting them from the boss stage fights and stuff

#

as part of the weekly mats

rapid bough
#

as far as i know i've been buying all available affinity mats every week

#

granted i have quite a bit currently unspent but no shot in hell i get anywhere close to your affinity levels even if i spend them all

#

i see you also have that daiyan covenant though so that's probably helping your total rank a lot

timber sigil
#

yeah as soon as she got covenant I pumped every affinity mat into her

rapid bough
#

the fact you somehow had enough to get her to affinity 8 and the rest of your dolls to a mix of 4s and 5s is still ridiculous though lol

#

i could never

#

this is where i'm at right now lol

#

i have more 5s than you but very few 4s

timber sigil
#

ahh I see

#

yeah I spread out my ones across everyone

#

as in each time I got 1 affinity level on someone I'd move to the next unit

rapid bough
#

i'm gonna spend all mine now and see where i end up

#

maybe i've been underestimating the amount of affinity i have banked

timber sigil
#

i probably also got a lot from buying the rolls each banner

#

also I just noticed that the colour of the covenant ring on Daiyan changed from blue to gold

rapid bough
#

yeah this is what i ended up with after spending everything, still way far off yours

#

no clue where you got so many extra affinity mats from

timber sigil

probably from the bundles of limited tickets from the store

i think some of them have like 10x 100 affinity tokens

how many of those damn things did you buy lol

anyways moving on

#

I've been playing through the games of this series since like 2018 and the 1 constant is that the CEO of Mica (the game dev company for GFL) is based as fuck

#

most of the reason GFL1 stayed up despite being the lowest selling of all the other gachas is largely because the world/story is his passion project

#

through GFL1/GFL2/Reverse Collapse Codename Bakery

#

iirc the art team for GFL1 also convinced him to design a character

#

which ended up being 6P-62 who also becomes his avatar for livestreams when he's presenting the new changes + fixes

#

also part of the reason why the DPS test dummy is of 6P-62 so in a way you're DPS testing on the Mica CEO

#

I started doing the War Dance quest in HSR and turns out it is supposed to come after Penacony and I was spoiled that The Family was the villains who could have possibly guessed!

#

Also I don't like Yunli so far. I'm hoping there's more to her? I'm at least a little impressed that I managed to like most if not all characters until her.

runic ether
runic ether
#

her gameplay is like clara but without svarog and her lore and character are undercooked overall imo

#

she suffers from not being feixiao or yanqing in 2.4 and 2.5

#

baaically 007:
0 on screen feats
0 battles won
7 times being obnoxious to everyone else

#

and like, she is supposed to be young and cocky buut it only worked for yanqing cus we promptly got to see him eat shit and then he grew from there

#

yunli loses and she makes excuses and is rarely if ever punished for them

#

she really should have been introduced earlier overall

#

would have been a world's difference if we had known her from the 1st time in the luofu or during the multiple events there prior

#

i think a notable case too is how they try and tell us yanqing and her were pretty even when he had gone up against like

#

4 of the most powerful fighters we had known at the time and only got his ass beat hard by jingliu

#

overall we are still waiting for yunli to be a relevant character peeposhrug

#

but it is kinda hard for her there too

#

unrelated but

#

good lord

#

thats a lot of changes

#

mostly wording but also buffs/nerfs

#

the passive is untouched

#

but she is now easier to enable but weaker

#

which is good tbh

#

some calcs were requiring some intense reqs to make her even function at all

#

this should make other healers more relevant for her

#

cant believe hes gonna end up a silver wolf sidegrade atp

#

trina kit was released and apparently she's looking great in pvp

#

and maybe bossing

#

tldr she has buffs for electric assault rifle nikkes, one of which is a 2 second invuln skill

#

this of course means she's a scarlet buffer

#

(can also be used for moran)

#

the complete list of options as of right now is

#

scarlet
moran
sin
x rupee
soldier eg

rapid bough
#

holy shit it's actually hilarious how much her kit is built around supporting scarlet

#

i know there are technically other electric rifle units but none of them are meta like scarlet is in pvp

#

this is shift up deadass releasing a unit balanced for pvp use right before champ arena is supposed to debut, wild

#

incidentally her buffs are so nuts that it may make base scarlet meta in raid content too lol (esp electric weak)

#

guess this means we're getting a scarlet gacha skin for 2.5 anni KEKW

old galleon
#

so we move from helm favoritism to scarlet favoritism

#

inb4 they randomly drop a favorite item for her too

rapid bough
#

that would be diabolical considering she's already pvp meta and on the borderline of raid meta

rapid bough
#

she actually WAS my favorite in terms of design and voice when i first started

#

nowadays a few (rapi, cindy, anis, helm) have supplanted her but her design is still goated

as is her voice, i hope we get ratana back from the VA strike soon

#

(yet)

old galleon
#

first attempt got to like 677m

#

awful

#

no one squad got above 170m either

#

674m

#

not sure how much of a difference crown would make either

#

also top rankers are only getting like 13 or 14b right now

#

i say "only" but that's compared to the last couple or so solo raids

#

top damage on behemoth was also in the 14b range, but from there, we had

#

white ice dragon (electric weak) at 17b, modernia (fire weak) at 19b, and material h (water weak) at 22b

#

idk how much of it is wind not being particularly great (which really shouldn't be the case) and how much of it is this specific boss being an ass

#

it's got multiple annoying snipes and a big nuke you can't do a lot to stop, and its fail trigger is honestly kinda annoying

#

anyway i'm done malding about solo raid

#

unlike with material h i don't think i can do too much to improve my score

#

at least not to any meaningful degree

Okay Yunli called him a weirdo. She's not wrong but this cements her as my least favorite character in the game.

slow raft
#

yunli is a strange case for me because while shes like 12 or whatever so its ok that she acts like a child, i just dont know for whom the character is made
like who looks at her and goes "wow shes so cool, i want to spend money on a character like this"

rigid pilot

Yeah fr

Also Yanqing is also her age but while he's cocky he just... idk acts better?

This is what gets me

he has manners

Yunli: I'm sorry... I'm sorry but I have to-

Why do those defense systems have the Khaenriah cubes

runic ether
#

khaenriah and desheret are neighbors

#

geographically

#

sumeru + the desert civ were khaenriah's border mates they nestle the entrance to khaenriah so they got a lot of cultural exchange

#

its why the giant khaenrian mechs were there to defend the desert when the cataclysm broke out and why sumeru has a ton of their mechs left over

#

iirc capitano's squad were originally posted at the border of the desert + khaenriah when they got news it was all over and its why they retreated towards natlan and not fontaine

glossy latch
#

Yeah but

#

Arent those cubes what Khaenriah was destroyed by?

runic ether
#

i believe it was actually the flow of forbidden knowledge which did destroy them

#

the cubes are forbidden knowledge to what we know

#

which does make the sustainer using them uhh

#

yeah

#

not a good sign for celestia

#

which given what we know now after fontaine's story and natlan's story, probs isnt a good sign for celestia

also the new web event may be giving us a new answer to the moon(s)

Once again I am asking “wtf is the strat” for the boss fight in an Arknights event

rapid bough
#

i have 3 teams that can definitely make it to the end:

  1. liter / maid mast / maid anchor / SBS / alice
  2. cindy / rouge / s.anis / blanc / scarlet
  3. crown / doro / helm / s.sakura / base privaty

working on 4th and 5th teams but god wind is such a broke archetype

#

i'm sure new asuka/rei are great eventually but they're brand new so plebs like me without ungodly savings can't gear/upgrade them enough to be usable

#

and this boss needs so much healing

old galleon
#

yeah being so undergeared i didn't bother trying to optimize it, i just took a run and dipped

#

thing hits way too hard and i can't make all 5 comps remotely capable of surviving

rapid bough
#

i wonder if new rei really needs to burst, i kinda wanna try crown/rrh/helm/new asuka/new rei for team 3 so i can save s.sakura for another team

#

time to find out

#

i need helm to burst in that comp for her nutty healing lol, otherwise i just die

#

new rei is full hp with crown shield and gets one-shot by the boss's big AoE
well ok then

#

new asuka lived but that's the doll diff

#

i got unbelievably unlucky upgrading dolls for asuka/rei

#

like 500 blue mats and i only got asuka to level 15 blue doll lol

#

not too shabby on a full run tbh

#

this is probably one of the most well-rounded team damage profiles i've ever seen lol

#

now i kinda wanna know how it does with privaty instead of rei tho

crown doing as much damage as rei here isn't a good look

I can't even change regions cause it's through play store

The hardest part aboit making this image was generating a good fit for the text

rapid bough
#

ok i think i solved the solo raid's core mechanic and the damage my party is taking has dropped dramatically

slow raft
#

I had to distort it enough to read as distorted but not so much that it would be unreadable

rapid bough
#

put that nikke into cover so she doesn't get hit by the laser

#

this one trick has reduced my party damage by about a billion percent

#

because if the laser hits, it gives the boss a buff that increases the damage done by its party AoE attack (which usually follows its laser attack)

#

and the AoE attack hits like a truck with that buff, but is honestly quite manageable without

#

and if the laser doesn't hit, it won't have that buff

slow raft
#

Oh thats what the laser does

rapid bough
#

the laser also does a shitton of damage if it hits so best to dodge regardless

slow raft
#

I tanked that shit cause it looked like it dealt no damage

rapid bough
#

but it does basically no cover damage

#

if you just get into cover it won't do shit, and it'll prevent the boss from getting its buff

#

So that's how that works

#

Unfortunately my girls are still almost dying to the AoE

rapid bough
#

my nikkes without leveled dolls went from nearly dying to taking like 1/2 their HP at most once i started dodging the laser

rapid bough
#

this is around when i tried dodging the laser

#

then i noticed rei wasn't getting anywhere near death from the AoE anymore

#

unknown flash is the big AoE, and the "massive additional damage" is what you want to avoid

#

you can only avoid it if it doesn't have the force field shit up

#

which you can only manage if that laser isn't hitting your nikkes

wispy goblet
#

To be fair I'm also at a way lower level than you

#

In challenge the level is fixed

rapid bough
#

oh i figured you were on the challenge stage

wispy goblet
#

I gotta do it tonight

#

I fell asleep after work
Just woke up
Gotta do my dailies

slow raft
#

you want to avoid taking "massive additional damage"

rapid bough
#

hard-hitting analysis

wispy goblet
#

shit

#

I never got the chance to replay the old nikke story

#

guess I could try to turbo through it tonight

rapid bough
#

sbs does a bit of carrying

rapid bough
#

no surprise, no shot at 3%+

#

don't have nearly enough good wind DPS

wispy goblet
#

I am gonna do a lot worse on this one

rapid bough
#

if i had a nickel for every time i closed nikke and then absentmindedly hit "launch" again when the launcher came up afterward, i would have enough money to whale out on all my gacha games and still have disposable cash left over

#

lycaon being recast is tragic

#

his EN VA was amazing

runic ether
#

his new va sounds almost the same

#

tho apparently the studio did not tell lycaon's old va he was replaced

#

but his own story of events is quite... weird

#

some rumors had circulated he didnt voice in 1.4 bc he was on tour

#

then he himself clarified he wasnt, and it was just scheduling issues

#

and so did hoyo this patch, but he himself later said hes been available since october for recordings

#

we'll have to wait and see he may just have never responded to the studio over being available or just couldnt reprise the role in time blowing through deadlines for work

#

it is hard to believe this is the studio's fault since sound cadence is owned by voice actors primarily so they know the work

summer hornet
#

Is there any way to speed up the Ruin Serpent fight in Genshin?

runic ether
#

its one of the four horsemen of time wasting bosses

rapid bough
#

but yeah his new voice sounds fine

#

still, hope we get some clarity on why it was changed

runic ether
#

timing was likely an issue

#

since they record way in advance

#

and another va swap but for jp

summer hornet
#

Wasn't the CN VA for Tribbie or Aglaea missing too?

wispy goblet
#

okay
time to put the pieces together
and do my challenge run

runic ether
summer hornet
#

Neither do I, I just remembered seeing it in the announcements

#

slowing is good if pacifist route

#

dorothy ascalon etc

#

she is also bindable

summer hornet
#

....I just got Dorothy lmao

mental acorn
#

hell yeah jerboa gaming

summer hornet
#

Also you have to be FAST with those kills don't you

#

Because some of the originum slugs for the first round leave practically as soon as it starts

mental acorn
#

yeah I was having trouble getting that to work out too

#

so I just went for the violence route

summer hornet
#

Lmfao

#

Yeah, I think that'll be my strat for the run ngl

#

Hit the berry slug that spawns at the start, then slow/delay/destroy the boss by filling the pot

old galleon
digital marlin
#

Same and I don't even touch the game

wispy goblet
#

holy
I cannot beat the interruption segment

#

whew

#

#

#

oh well
guess I won't do the original EVA event

#

too tired and still got my ZZZ dailies to do

wispy goblet
#

runic ether
#

timber sigil
rapid bough
#

i'm tempted to do 30 more just to not put the pity to waste, but my cubes are way too low now and implac is next

#

but she's finally home, sheesh

#

hoping the ~40 buld tickets on implac rerun will come in clutch

#

i'm down to 230 cubes now which is uncomfortably low
