i do still wish hoyo would fix yixuan's arms

and caesar's too while they're at it

[wispy goblet]

unfortunately because I do not actively play I am just never grinding currency

and I don't know who's coming up so I'm never prepared to pull

[long tree]

Male authors: she breasted boobily towards the camera

[runic ether]

let em hang

[rapid bough]

bras were lost and forgotten technology in new eridu when the ZZZ apocalypse happened

[long tree]

You don't get that kinda lift without some sort of support my dude

Boobs are just made of jello in zzz

[runic ether]

back pain in 10 years wont matter when the hollow disasters will end you in that timeframe anyways

[rapid bough]

low gravity environment fr fr

not just boobs tbf

backside jiggle is immense too

where's the evelyn parry gif

[runic ether]

lighter jiggles too

[long tree]

Lighter penor jiggle

[runic ether]

eve is my biggest regret skipping

some other time

[wispy goblet]

y'all gotta tell me a month or two out before the eve rerun

[long tree]

I redownloaded the game for eve

[rapid bough]

eve remains the hottest character in the game for me so far but i think yixuan comes close

yixuan however will probably also be OP as shit so that'll be fun

[runic ether]

hp scaler

so she will be

also flat hp is almost as good as atk% for her

[rapid bough]

rip all those HP disks i've been disassembling

[runic ether]

wonder how future rupture and other characters will scale

likely off def too

[rapid bough]

i honestly should probably skip lighter and hugo to save for yixuan

but because i love eve so much i want to optimize her

and lighter is necessary to do that

[runic ether]

yeah thats lighter for sure

[rapid bough]

so i'll be getting lighter and his wengine assuming i don't get turbofucked by hoyo rates

and we'll see how things fall with yixuan

[runic ether]

the thing about hugo rn tho is that u may have to commit to ju fufu too for his team to skyrocket up further than is reasonable but who knows

we'll see once fufu nears the end of beta

[wispy goblet]

how far out is Yi Xuan

[runic ether]

month-ish

[rapid bough]

about a month

[wispy goblet]

hmmmm

they tempt me once again

[rapid bough]

and yeah i want hugo but i can't justify it with yixuan on the horizon

i've said this before but it's really funny that both of the limited male characters so far have had their banners right before very OP/hyped female banners

lighter's 2/2 on that because he was before miyabi and now he's getting rerun before yixuan lol

poor husbandos

[runic ether]

he still sold pretty well but yeah

[rapid bough]

i still need to play through the new ZZZ story but i've heard it's kinda controversial, i'm worried it'll sour me on hugo

[wispy goblet]

I'll sleep on it
and if I still want to go for it
I'll buy the pass tomorrow and start the daily grind again

[runic ether]

i heard mostly points against vivi but i was committed to her for jane and miyabi anyways

[rapid bough]

you prolly don't need me to tell you this but if you're not gonna really play the game you probably don't need to bother spending money on it lol

i can sympathize with catching waifus like pokemon i guess

[wispy goblet]

ehh spending $5 for the thrill of the gamble is fine

[rapid bough]

based

https://tenor.com/sKBHoQVvSbR.gif

it does help that hoyo game monthly passes are insanely good value for money

[wispy goblet]

and yeah
that'll probably be the extent of my engagement with ZZZ
find waifu
bank currency for a month
pull for her

[rapid bough]

that's the one thing about their monetization that is actually acceptable (relatively speaking anyway)

of course it's mostly justified by the awful rates so there's a give and take there

[runic ether]

bp is great value for building characters faster. their monthly pass is also crazy good

[rapid bough]

i stopped buying the BPs since i have like 4 copies of the anomaly wengine and infinite character mats at this point

but monthly pass still getting refreshed every month

[runic ether]

ye im basically done w the bp myself too just off 3 anomaly wengine

[rapid bough]

too much value to ignore, especially in a game where pulls are harder to come by and more are necessary on average to pull characters

[runic ether]

yeah in terms of relativel value of the pull

sure its like 90~ per patch

but thats one 5 star

if you are unlucky, not enough for the one you want

[rapid bough]

90 pulls
one 5-star

i wish

granted i did win the 50 for vivian but that was my first won 50 in four banners lol

i was averaging like 160 pulls per limited character for several months there

[runic ether]

you do get the 5 star in the 80-90 pull range

doesnt mean u win the 50/50

[rapid bough]

true but who cares about a lost 50 lol

[runic ether]

me who is still missing nekomata and want 11 mindscapes

[rapid bough]

i'll trade you my neko c3

us nekobros will be feasting when she gets major buffs from them revisiting characters

[runic ether]

she'll get aftershock

[rapid bough]

tbh they should turn her into an aftershock character

you ninja'd me

i feel like they're just gonna be slapping various levels of aftershock on everything though

haven't they publicly stated they want squad members to provide more visual support even when not on the field

so you get the feeling of actually being in a team

[runic ether]

yep

i feel like this may incidentally buff the fuck out of nicole

another 10 nicole buffs

[rapid bough]

nicole forever and forever a hundred years nicole forever a hundred times

(i am fine with this, nicole was my gateway drug into ZZZ)

[runic ether]

she's so far been the gateway drug for all other factions so far

cant wait for nicole to bring us to meet the rest of yunkai summit

[old galleon]

got morpeah

(also got her weapon lol)

(or i guess it's an accessory piece)

compared to nikke i've definitely taken bd2 a lot slower, but here's what i'm working with for now

https://i.imgur.com/TCou183.jpeg

in addition to what's on screen, i have the second costumes for a few of the 4* including kry

and i also got spooked by dark knight lathel at some point

but for now i've mainly focused on a sort of duct-taped-together physical comp

but is there anything i can make better out of that?

https://i.imgur.com/5d13fJC.png

shoudl be all the costumes i have if that helps

(ignore the order, i def haven't optimized last night in a while)

[rapid bough]

optimizing at your level isn't worth much anyway lol

[old galleon]

true

[rapid bough]

your physical comp is fine, the only thing i can think of is that if you're having SP issues or not one-shotting things, samay can be useful as a cheap ATK buff

also lathel's DPS costumes are strong, my story comps were carried by him/justia/kry for quite a while

[old galleon]

right now wiggle's the one carrying me for the most part

which i eventually expect to change

[wispy goblet]

poggers finally did co-op on Day 1

[rapid bough]

co-op with an early guaranteed fail condition! extreme pog

[rapid bough]

code LABORDAY for gfl2 bros

this is for darkwinter, there's a different one (same rewards) for haoplay

[timber sigil]

Lost 1/2 Vector 50/50s but I got my QJ to v5 out of it so I'm pretty happy

[rapid bough]

i also lost one of the 50s but got vepley out of it

i also also lost the 75/25 for vector's weapon and ended up getting a dupe of mosin's weapon

so vector ended up bleeding me dry, good thing i had tons of savings

think i'm in savings mode again until springfield or andoris, whoever comes next

[timber sigil]

you're in luck next 2 banners are Yoohee and Zhaohui

so you got time to save

[runic ether]

finished canto 1. pretty interesting story. good set up for opposing factions. overall solid.

i think i'll stop story here though since i do wanna finish up library of runia first

@slow raft btw i see that its doable to grab whatever ego or id. is there anything specific that would be kind of "must have" or good to get when possible? similar question, how is the banner/gacha system?

do ittttttttt

[honest pawn]

there are some nice ID's to have early, R. Corp Heathcliff, Zwei Ishmael, Grip Sinclair, Cinq Sinclair, W. Corp Don, Captain ishmael depending on the units you got

[timber sigil]

heh

it's funny because Saori Hayami voices both Vector and Yor

[timber sigil]

oh shit the GFL1 Division collab is canon now

[slow raft]

Fausts fluidsac is the best ego in the game and i would say the only ego you could make a case for that its a mudt have

For identitities ring, pointilist yi sang is the strongest, but you focus more on team synergy than individual units usually

As for the banner system, with every pull you get a resouce 200 of that resource can be used to grab any one rate up thing.
Realistically tho everyone saves all their pulls for the limited banners and just grabs everything else from the shop

[old galleon]

in news that should surprise no one, mihara asmr

looks like there's an interview with nikke's director and team leader translated

reading through it now

they mention that noah being on silver mileage was a mistake lol

Actually… Noah is on it by mistake. Originally, no Pilgrim was supposed to be on the list, and other Nikes should have been on it. We probably launched the list with Noah mistakenly included on the Nike list during CBT. Anyway, Pilgrim, the Pilgrim that we didn’t intend was on the Silver Ticket, right? So we decided, "Let's not take this out." I don't know what the users will think, but we already acknowledge that this part is part of the service, even if it was a mistake when using the game. We decided that it would be right to structure it so that commanders can take Noah with Silver Tickets.

is this mtl? the constant spelling of "nikke" as the real world variant "nike" is a flag

[long tree]

Honestly probably a good idea to make Noah available with silver tickets given her PvP usefulness

[old galleon]

it definitely wasn't their intent; they just rolled with it after they added her by accident

but yeah, as far as that goes, there were worse pilgrims they could have added

[wispy goblet]

Another key thing is (story spoilers) ||the new Absolute and Matis forms are not Overspec||

[old galleon]

i was literally just about to post that

still going through the posts

but ye, which means ||when they inevitably act like overspecs in the gacha anyway, people are gonna be pissed||

Q. Furthermore, it seems that defense is not being used well among other stats.

Director Yoo Hyeong-seok = The problem is not that defense stats are not being used, but that Nikes based on the stat called 'defense' are not being used. I said that I would tell the story of strengthening Nikes with less use cases through favorite items, but I feel that there is not enough opportunity for balancing if we just wait for favorite items. That is why we are discussing rebalancing starting with a few characters. I think that it is necessary to create some room for Nikes that have not had the opportunity to use defense stats until now, even if they are not Tier 1. I think we'll be able to reveal specific plans through developer notes soon.

get those pvp tanks and diesels ready : ^)

[rapid bough]

||i wouldn't be so sure about that, primarily because giving them the same gacha mechanics as actual overspecs means a massive backlog of pilgrim-tier characters with only 3 events per year to release them||

||if they're committed to them not being overspecs in terms of both lore and gameplay, they might just end up being alts||

[wispy goblet]

||so this is how they will justify running a triple banner||

[old galleon]

||that would be the way that makes sense||

||but it wouldn't be the way that makes the most money : ^) ||

[rapid bough]

||the comment made in the second question you posted re: favorite items not being enough is interesting in this context. crackpot theory: what if they give us a new system (reworked liberation mode anyone?) that upgrades base matis/absolute/cafe sweety (one day ofc) to their alt forms||

||ofc that would be the path of least money made so it's unlikely, but i also think making them alts when their upgraded designs are so (purposely) similar to base is a bit weird too||

tbh why are we using spoiler text

anyway, another problem with having alts is that already two of the upgrade candidates--drake and laplace--have favorite items already

having a base form with favorite items and an alt upgraded form that presumably plays similarly to base but in superjuiced form, almost like a post-favorite item base but without the actual item, would feel really awkward to me

also kind of a waste of the favorite item concept if the favorite item nikkes are immediately superseded by an upgraded alt form that doesn't need the item lol

if i'm being realistic i think just regular alts is the most likely outcome, but i wanna cope for a different upgrade path that keeps the base form of the nikke relevant

[old galleon]

so in azur lane, there's this process you might be familiar with, called research

it's part of a world of warships collab

which is to say, nikke collab with some other property that justifies their own research upgrades : ^)

[slow raft]

ok after maid privaty i got cocoa, biscuit and vesti

i get the feeling this game doesnt want me to get the banner units

[old galleon]

at least biscuit is pvp usable

[slow raft]

oh and poli

atleast now i have dupes for a few weeks

[old galleon]

https://i.imgur.com/2GjJf0c.jpeg

second new 5* off a whisper of salt after philo as a week ago

unfortunately, she's kinda bad

(i value pizzica ns general usability, even if singing is an outdated mechanic at the top end, over pizzica as focus on pierce in the current state of the game)

[old galleon]

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

i had forgotten about this, in part bc i actively tried to

and this quest just forcefully reminded me of it 😐

parts 3 and 4 of 3000 realm ark were a convoluted mess

didn't help that there was increasingly annoying harpoon fishing gates

[old galleon]

hm

kind of a long shot, but when oc free quests release, any of you have a douman you can put in your supports with bella lisa? would probably end up using it for the new qp quest and i'm doumanless

there is a comp that uses 2x koyan and nitocris, but i don't think many people put bella lisa on their koyans

[runic ether]

alright genshin

[mortal iron]

Fuck you congrats

[old galleon]

grabbed liatris from the pub, and she's made an immediate impact

makes the game feel a bit less bad to play when mobs are dense

[old galleon]

supposedly chrono trigger remake/remaster/whatever is real

so i guess we know what one of the future ae collabs will be

(hopefully in the process they extend the chrono cross collab too)

ofc it's all in italian 😐

[rapid bough]

yeah lia was my hard carry for a very long time, she's very good

and i still use her as my main fire dps for fire weak content

[old galleon]

indeed

i've swapped her in to my event comp so i can full clear without relying on wiggle (since him blowing himself up fails the keep everyone alive missions)

[long tree]

Ez

I got the gauntlets for zani

[glossy latch]

Imagine not trusting in pulling the signature

[versed pawn]

ah

probably just would tried to pull her sig tbh

and just get sword of weapon

i guess

[astral drift]

In dire need of flame cups

[glossy latch]

I know Himeko is good, but I really wanted to get more Clara Eidolons so I can aim for E6 😔

I guess E3 Himeko is fine though

[slow raft]

i wanted to ask chat about good buster supports except koyan and oberon and i click on this channel and see ovven talk himeko and for a second i thought he misspelled the fgo servant

[copper steppe]

lol i guess its easy to mistake it

i once mistook castorice as castoria

[slow raft]

ok chat, i did the math and if i want to buy the skins i like this event (virtuosa, texalter, muelsye, skalter, gladiia, robin, lavalter)
i only need a humble 147 originium

which should be no problem, seeing as i already have 20

[old galleon]

sounds like a job for your credit card

[runic ether]

yeah okay lucy

i know what you are

lighter calling her out

no wonder hes so good for eve-astra. he has experience with lesbians

[slow raft]

And its just that easy

Only 130 pulls

[old galleon]

if suzuran is our light, is vulpisfoglia our sun?

[glossy latch]

He's a professional third wheel

[honest pawn]

oh, I see

mirror dungeons are good again

[honest pawn]

WHAT IS MY LUCK

I JUST WANT MY REINDEER DUDE

oh there he is

[runic ether]

honestly been enjoying the sinner so far but yeah maybe i do like hong lu a lot. though i think ryoshu, ishmael, faust, and yi sang are very cool. gregor im a bit torn on though i want more.

still need to see more of mersault and for the thing to click with heathcliff. i can see how he would be a great character.

[slow raft]

how many of the books for the sinners have you read btw?

[runic ether]

the cantos?

just the 1st so far

[slow raft]

nah i mean

[runic ether]

oh the

the irl books

lol

[slow raft]

all 13 sinners based on a book

yea

[runic ether]

i've read moby dick, dante's inferno, faust all the way through

im vaguely aware of the rest to varying degrees

oh

and don quixote

[slow raft]

[honest pawn]

if I speak

[slow raft]

personally meursault is probably my favourite among the sinners rn but i will admit it didnt start like that

[runic ether]

undestandable

i feel like hes just kind of there

when everyone else has showcased their levels of autism quite clearly

[honest pawn]

here's the ones I've read

I'm working on dream of the red chamber rn

[slow raft]

i think youll find that him not saying anything unless asked to is him showcaseing him autism powerevel

[runic ether]

okay ur right actually lol

[slow raft]

ryoshu was a high contender from the start since she is really funny

[runic ether]

oh fuck duh the metamorphosis is gregor lol

okay so add that to my list of books

[honest pawn]

I can only speak through tier lists gomenasai

[runic ether]

i own wuthering heights, crime and punishment, the stranger, and demian but i havent read them all

i feel u on faust in the : ) tier

shes very : )

but yeah ryoshu is quite funny so far

also i feel like i'll end up liking heathcliff a lot more

[honest pawn]

ryoshu in canto 1 is very funny but she gets even better right after

every sinner goes through pretty good character development

I still like the librarians from ruina more though

[runic ether]

i wouldnt get spoiled by continuing right?

on library

or at least nothing major?

[honest pawn]

nope

[slow raft]

uhhhh

[honest pawn]

well

[slow raft]

after canto 4 theres a spoiler

[runic ether]

how bad is it

[honest pawn]

you'd get spoiled on some things which you could consider a spoiler but it's only the result and not the journey that takes you there in ruina

I caught up to canto 6 before I beat ruina and it didn't impede my enjoyment of it

[runic ether]

thats more or less what i wanted to know. if it would like, significantly impact how i'd look at runia's story

[honest pawn]

don't play canto 6 before beating ruina though, it'll blow your fucking mind if you do it after

[runic ether]

[slow raft]

Explain this then

[runic ether]

also i got manager of la manchaland for don. im still unsure on teambuilding in this game but damn the outfit is fire.

[long tree]

Rotate her mouth 90 degrees clockwise

She is still 🙂

[slow raft]

basically most teams either focus on a status effect, a damage type or a sin affinity

la manchaland don thrives in bleed teams for example

[runic ether]

my instincts werent too far off then

[honest pawn]

the sillies have been complete

teambuilding in limbus is pretty fun at a high level, more than like HSR I'd say

[runic ether]

i could see it yeah

also would i be able to save progress between mobile and pc? idk if theres a pc client

[slow raft]

theres a steam version and you can sync them up yea

[runic ether]

oh cool

so then also my understanding on banners: kinda just pull whoever you want? craft the egos and ids u want to support/build around?

[slow raft]

ok so

every few months theres a limited banner

where you can only craft the units from said banner the next time a limited banner comes around

so usually everyone just saves up for that and just gets everything else from the shop

[runic ether]

ahh okay

[slow raft]

theoretically if you dont care about meta and optimal stuff you can just go ham and miss it no big deal

[runic ether]

thats what those locked ones that say you cant craft is for

[slow raft]

personally i just have enough to get everything with left over so i do that

[honest pawn]

it's more economically efficient to use your currency to refill your stamina twice and craft that stamina down to currency every reset and farm mirror dungeons to spark for units than actually using the currency to pull

[slow raft]

(but dont actually do that its way to much time)

[honest pawn]

yeah just save for the walpurgis event (the next one should be coming out later this year after the new season drops) and do weeklies when you can

[runic ether]

theres no pvp right? whats the end game?

[honest pawn]

a good weekly run can get you to roughly a third of the way to sparking for a unit or ego and you get some good rewards for the pass too so there's no reason not to do it

[runic ether]

ah right is the bp worth it then?

[slow raft]

triples the currency you get for getting ids from the shop

[honest pawn]

I'd say so but play the game first before dropping money just to see if you vibe with the writing because what sold me on the BP was Canto 4's writing and it generally only keeps getting better with every story chapter

[slow raft]

also this bp ends in like less than 2 weeks so

[runic ether]

[honest pawn]

there's not much "end-game" content to do outside of two game modes, mirror dungeons and refraction railway

[slow raft]

refraction railway is the real endgame and its basically a bossgauntlet you try to min turn for fancy bragging rights

[honest pawn]

but they did say they're working on adding more so

[slow raft]

oh speaking of bragging rights

my proffile card

i have everthing in the game and basically everything worhtwhile at max so if you want to try anything out i can set it on support

[runic ether]

[honest pawn]

I don't have everything Guy does but I'm homosexual and I like men so I have a very nice collection

I'll need to get around to farming xp tickets to level up my goobers to 50 though

[runic ether]

is it worth it to level the base sinners to 50?

[slow raft]

not at all

atleast as of rn

we dont know if theyll get updates later on

but as is they really do not keep up

[honest pawn]

out of the base sinners, the ones that are best for getting you through the earlier cantos if you have nothing else are base outis and base heathcliff probably

[slow raft]

(you can also just borrow a maxed out unit and solo basically all content till like canto 5)

[runic ether]

nice lol

[slow raft]

oh right, in case you ahvent done it yet, you should have access to a beginners banner

[runic ether]

ye thats how i got manager of la manchaland

[slow raft]

yknow, posting my profile card reminded me that i still have to do the newest railway

guess i know what im doign tmrw

[honest pawn]

I should get on the railway before it gets replaced

lots of juicy rewards that are mine for the taking

[slow raft]

40 pulls, unclaimed

just like my bones!

i did already do the first section and that was piss easy so i assume the rest will surely go just as well

[glossy latch]

@runic ether wait is Snzehnaya no longer the 6.x region?

[runic ether]

it got moved to 7.x

well

nod krai is technically a part of

[glossy latch]

So 6.x is Nod Krai then? Do we know anything about what that entails?

[runic ether]

yeah a lot of vague loreposting

[rapid bough]

||lol. lmao even. you gotta know they rope us in with happiness only to make the depression hit harder||

||levi and hansel/gretel are being sorta forgotten by the current ending, in the sort of disappointing "if you forgot about it then it must not have been important" kind of way||

||i'd be surprised if the epilogue doesn't at least address some of them, and of course then you have jien's lunacy still hanging over mihara/yuni/mori like a storm cloud||

[old galleon]

||daily reminder that mihara has all but literally sold her soul to the devil||

||i fear greatly for her future||

||at least the devil, generally speaking, tends to abide strictly by contracts||

||so mori should be safe-ish (for now)||

||yuni is still in doubt since she's still in that shell||

[rapid bough]

||on the subject of yuni, with that recent interview emphasizing that overspec = combination of ark + foreign tech, i'm quite sure she's due an overspec, likely whenever she is "released" (which i'm sure will be preceded by significantly more depression and jien shenanigans)||

[old galleon]

||yeah yuni overspec is all but inevitable||

||matis/absolute not being overspecs in lore doesn't mean they won't do gacha fuckery and treat them as overspecs to make them chase pulls anyway||

||we can hope they don't pull anything like that, but we won't know until it happens||

[rapid bough]

||agree, but imo they're caught between a rock and a hard place there, where using overspec gacha mechanics they have an ungodly backlog and no way to chip away at it without releasing them outside of anni/new year's, and doing that just dooms them to being subpar imo||

||meanwhile releasing them as just basic alts presents its own concerns about performance relative to their base forms, favorite items, etc||

[old galleon]

||i don't think being a non-celebration nikke dooms one to being subpar||

[rapid bough]

||imo there's a very slim chance a non-"major event" overspec/pilgrim will be as good as ones released for celebrations||

[old galleon]

||aegis maid duo for example||

||not being as good as the celebration nikkes doesn't mean you're subpar automatically||

[rapid bough]

||also the fact they're trio squad members and all currently operating together... are we destined for a triple banner???||

[old galleon]

||careful not to let the very tippy top of the meta define what is and is not "average"||

[old galleon]

||this wouldn't surprise me tho||

[rapid bough]

||well when we're talking about pilgrim/overspec releases, they're basically expected to be the very tippy top of meta||

||so falling short of that would disappoint a lot of people||

[old galleon]

||collab, special though it may be, set a precedent with first eva collab||

[rapid bough]

||remember how people were malding when they thought mermaid would be mid lol||

[old galleon]

||people who thought mermaid with that kit was gonna be average have something wrong with them||

||my doubt was always whether she'd be the best b1, or the second or third best||

||not "is she gonna be good or average"||

||her kit even at a glance was too good for the "mermid" talk to be anything but dumb, imo||

||and i'm not even that good at this game||

I'm gonna be overstocked on daily supply again

[rapid bough]

someone didn't get the co op memo, they're dead to me

[wispy goblet]

can any of them burst as B1

[old galleon]

yeah, there should be 0 rapi in co-op for originality's sake : ^)

[rapid bough]

they're all b1

we have no b2

(or b3 for that matter, but that's irrelevant without a b2)

[wispy goblet]

well-known non-B3
Maxwell

[rapid bough]

true

in my head i was still thinking of that one time in coop during rrh event where i actually did find myself in a team of all rrhs

[wispy goblet]

but that's interesting that all of them are B1
I wonderd if the remaining ones would become B3 after the first B1

[rapid bough]

turning harvester into a constellation

[rapid bough]

rrh doesn't actually "become" b1 when her skill to switch gets triggered

[old galleon]

read too much omniscient reader's viewpoint a while back and suddenly harvester is god

[rapid bough]

she still counts as b3

the temptation to get mermaid's gacha skin has only grown stronger after the end of the event

her smile is precious

[old galleon]

fall not into temptation

[rapid bough]

regardless i won't try until i actually get her, either off pulls or pity

so we'll see if the temptation wanes with time

i'm also tempted to MLB mihara so i can get her burst ani for my lobby

but two problems

1. that might break the bank
2. I NEED MORE LOBBY SLOTS SHIFT UP PLEASE

[rapid bough]

the frame of this with rapunzel going nuts made me lose it

Penacony themed event too

Likely outfits to fit the verse

Makes sense, servants are based in part on people's perception so in the honkai universe their looks would change to be similar to that universes

so is this canon to HSR

if saber doesnt get her armor i swaer to god

welp im collab immune

but agree lack of armor right now

[runic ether]

is that aventurine behind saber?

i think i see old outi

also the collab lasts from july 11th (3.4 p sure) until the end of 3.6

thats 123 days

okay not too worried about getting saber now

yeah okay idt i know the very far left figure behind her but

old outi, boothill, aventurine, robin, and jade behind saber

now i wanna see aventurine as saber's master though given his hand position and stance

yeah i see the plot line: penacony starts its first hgw. we get archer from the express. tb as the master. the other 6 behind saber are also masters.

someone thinks the guy on the far left is skott

Still a chance for an armor costume

But it's a nice redesign of her casual outfit imo

Woe, mediocre kit upon ye

As a bonus though, he's our first quantum male character

[runic ether]

boothill and feixiao say hi

[runic ether]

honestly it really should be

[long tree]

Archer kit spoilers
||dan hengcher||

[glossy latch]

I mean

[runic ether]

unfortuntately for her, s1 sunday clears

[glossy latch]

Ill take a ||Seele replacement|| for mono-quantum

[runic ether]

might be hard to fully replace seele

she still charts very well in single target scenarios

[glossy latch]

wait really?

[runic ether]

yeah seele is unironically an apoc shadow farmer

easy to meme that shes been powercrept for ages but the reason they arent too quick to buff her is that she performs really well in apoc shadow

[glossy latch]

Huh

Well, either way, I have another option for mono-quantum

Especially with SW getting buffed soon-ish

At which point you probably dont need to be mono-quantum anymore

[runic ether]

if there was ever a unit that needed the buff its probs silver wolf lol

her whole wig was snatched since 2.x

[glossy latch]

Yeah turns out characters that need elemental weaknesses have them built-in

And its hard to make reliable

[digital marlin]

dam looks like my luck comes to end here

had to go to full pity for phoebe

that being said Central plains completed

my god it feels like such a slog to go through

[glossy latch]

Speaking of slog

How am I getting 0 crit rate 4-costs for Zani

[mortal iron]

Oh my god finally

i dunno how else you supposed to beat it right now without EX Strike freedom yeesh

[copper steppe]

not a big fan of short skirt saber but oh well

[runic ether]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/1kdsyiu/blade_in_new_upcoming_pokémonlike_honkai_game/

blade lol

i love blade doing mundane things like playing pokemon vs kiana

[long tree]

Blade didn't even catch that wolf

He was just attracted to him so they could aura farm together

[copper steppe]

still archer i liked it

he got that belts advent children cloud style lol

[glossy latch]

God farming Capitaneus is a pain

Poor Zani is still on the bench 😔

[digital marlin]

I got really lucky with mine

went and beat all the the overworld captianus in a day and got like 11 spectros

changed all of them to spectro main stats with the modifer only to get double crit and atk bonus on the first one

[glossy latch]

:[

[glossy latch]

Damn, decent rolls too

I still need to upgrade all her skills too

So much stuff I have to do

[digital marlin]

need to work on skills too and the rest of her echos. i managed to get a main stat crit damage with double crit but after checking on it I REALLY need the crit rate main stat

really wish they can just modify enhanced echos

also need to work on the skills of mine too but i also have phoebe that will need skills worked on too

sadly got no credits either

[glossy latch]

Still no Capitaneus 😔

Also yeah, I think you need a CR mainstat 4-cost

And its annoyingly hard to get

I just wanna use Zani but my Phoebe is still way better rn

[digital marlin]

and two more pulls got me phoebe

@versed pawn between phoebes and zanis main weapon which one should i go for

[honest pawn]

wow these designs suck ass

[versed pawn]

Zani

[versed pawn]

Defo zani

[digital marlin]

Thanls

[versed pawn]

Has a 20% higher spectro frazzle Amp then phoebe

[long tree]

Charge attack and outro skill go brrrrr

[versed pawn]

still no double crit aix

[glossy latch]

Well that and uh

My Phoebes stats are kinda cracked

Plus I have her maxed out

Meanwhile Zani still needs a 4-cost and a Capitaneus >:[

Granted I also dont have a lot of content right now for Zani since I maxed out WiWa and Tower

So its not a rush technically

[long tree]

I got a new phone just to play wuwa

[digital marlin]

oof

playing wuwa on a phone is its on hell

[glossy latch]

Finally got a crit rate 4-cost at least

Capitaneus however I have to wait for the respawn

Also god Echo materials are so easy to run out of

[versed pawn]

literally kept middle tower until zani was out

also wish they add another weekly mode

[glossy latch]

Something like a weekly hologram would be cool

[idle grove]

@timber sigil question about the formations, can I just now use the same attachments between formations, ie I have QJ in formation 1 and Tololo in formation 2, can they have the exact same gun with the exact same attachments on now as long as I use the formations?

[glossy latch]

Oh the one crit rate 4-cost I got rolled crit rate crit damage

Im just missing Capitaneus now

And materials for skills and the weapons last upgrade ig

[long tree]

Got my two teams up to level 70 but gonna have to wait to do their skills cause weekly bosses

[digital marlin]

we do get boss supplies from that one Anniversary shop

dam shame most of the currency for it is limited to pulls

[slow raft]

ok, managed an 18 turn section 2 which is on par with what i expected

now i need to think about what team to use for section 3

[glossy latch]

Well its a bad Capitaneus

But it has crit rate crit damage

Ill take it

[long tree]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-emoji-rage-gif-17640294432761192580

[glossy latch]

Ok but why though

[long tree]

C2 is really good and I like zani

[glossy latch]

Eh fair

[long tree]

Plus it was early

[glossy latch]

So much for "she isnt really doing it for me" nyehehehehe

[long tree]

Voice I'm still a bit ehh on but

Damm she pretty

What i might do for now is team 1 zani team 2 phoebe, there will be a dps loss but it's worth it to have two great dps'

The only issue is if there's an enemy immune to spectro

[glossy latch]

Just gotta luck out on Carlotta too

Realistically Im not sure how you can do Zani and Phoebe at the same time

Since both would need SRover

You kinda need Ciaccona if you want them as two teams

[timber sigil]

Haven't fiddled with it too much but I believe so

[glossy latch]

God you need so many credits to max out characters, I kinda forgot

[idle grove]

poggers

I can finally set up my fire and corrosion teams with good attachments each

[slow raft]

finally

30MONTHSTOGETHER

[rapid bough]

finished the new ZZZ story chapter, ||kinda disappointed tbh. it was fine overall but part 1 was definitely the better half||

[runic ether]

ye

for sure

||it wasnt bad, it just felt like they needed to conclude this now before 2.0||

||we could have used a part c to flesh it out more basically||

[rapid bough]

||this part felt like it was trying to do way too many things at once and everything sort of suffered for it. the lycaon/hugo parts were the best, no surprise since those were the highlights of part 1 too, but even those struggled. the "inner demon" part was a bit too on those nose for my taste, and i don't appreciate that they basically completely whitewash hugo into quite literally doing nothing wrong ||

||i liked that he was being built up to a charming morally grey guy but the twists that he didn't actually kill his sister, or his father, or any of the innocents in a vengeance-induced mania was sort of a disappointing end to the setup of part 1||

[runic ether]

||i personally dont trust the mayor getting ahold of the sacrifice core.||

[rapid bough]

||yeah that's an obvious bit of setup for betrayal or at the very least fuckery. the "mayor ex machina" plot point in general has worn a bit thin, there's no way they don't turn that on its head soon||

[runic ether]

||as for hugo, i think its fine-ish. would have liked if at least he was the one responsible for his father's death more directly but it was pretty clear he never was.||

||especially with seemingly an ability to offset/reverse etheric corruption from the proxies. i have a big feeling vivian's vision is still going to come true in the next season||

[rapid bough]

||agree, a third part specifically for the dina resolution would've done that section wonders. as it stands, i had no sympathy for dina, very little for camille, and that also makes vivian's struggles fall flat too. dina is the stupidest bitch alive and i'm glad she's dead, and it felt like the story was trying to say "you can redeem yourself and live a normal life!!!" -- like no bitch the fuck you cannot lmao||

[runic ether]

||my current theory though, especially with the hollows being somewhat disconnected from time/space, is that one of the proxies is actually the founder of the exaltists and/or professor arche||

[rapid bough]

||if that was given more time in the oven to cook it could've been better, but it ended up third fiddle to the hugo/lycaon and sacrifice/ravenlock storylines||

[runic ether]

||yeah it would have been nice to give them this story patch entirely for them. not to redeem them. since it was pretty clear that they had taken their sides here. i was half-expecting dina to have come out of the hollows with us or try to do so.||

||but she did get offed too fast for my liking||

[rapid bough]

||yeah there's no shot the events of this chapter were the subject of vivian's vision||

[runic ether]

||also, personally, i find it curious that sara has yet to present herself to the proxies at all. i have a feeling she's carole.||

[rapid bough]

||this would be absolutely bonkers and i'm not sure i like it||

[runic ether]

||at the very least, they have some relation to professor arche. i wouldnt be surprised if they were his creations/children||

[rapid bough]

||idk, she hasn't really presented herself to anyone yet. she only showed herself to miyabi to release tailless... she's basically exclusively operated from the shadows thus far||

[runic ether]

||my theory on one of the proxies being turned into the leader of the exaltists is mostly bc the exaltists seem to know where things are going ahead of time. and when to lay low. it could be explained by having a ton of eyes everywhere. but i also can see it as a case of the leader already living through these events.||

[rapid bough]

||so why are they being stopped left and right? it's really hard to write around timey wimey "they know everything that's gonna happen" shit without it being unfulfilling||

[runic ether]

||i believe its intentional. i can see it being a case where that one scene we saw of the hollow zero event and the siblings staring at each other being the part.||

||the exaltists wanting to "save people" to be able to live in the hollows seems to me that its possible that they figure eventually, they actually have no choice, fail their goals, and hollow zero envelops new eridu||

||i think that would mean that going backwards, to try and get even better results per loop, could be the goal||

||and it could very well be a case where they just arent getting the results in either direction. either as truly evolving humanity through the hollows in the exaltists as we saw with how often and much they fail to get this to work (it kind of worked on bringer though), nor preventing the hollow zero eruption again||

||but i am definitely expecting that the exaltists wont be the true villains in zzz. just from themes they like touching upon in their other games and stories. how well they pull it out is kind of up in the air though||

[rapid bough]

||with how things have been presented thus far, exaltists not being the bad guys would be a tough sell. every single one of them has been fucking insane and irredeemable||

[runic ether]

||they wont be exactly "good" per say, but the goal will not be in as direct opposition to the proxies||

[rapid bough]

||idk, i'll be real, ZZZ so far hasn't really been good at portraying moral greyness. hugo is the best recent example (and they almost entirely whitewashed him this chapter because he's also playable), but every story villain thus far has looked and been treated as pretty unambiguously evil||

||as a rule, the narrative's attempts at trying to get me to sympathize with some of the villains have fallen pretty flat, since some of them do some truly unforgivable shit||

||if that trend continues, i can't see myself being invested in an "exaltists really have our best interest at heart!" storyline||

[runic ether]

||it'll be done similar to the fatui in genshin or kevin in hi3 where they are still "our antagonists" but we can see behind the scenes that they are trying to do it for "the greater good" or actually did it for the greater good no matter the sacrifice. though i expect zzz to not take as harsh an approach at it. maybe they will just still be the bad guys.||

[rapid bough]

||maybe a better way to phrase my objection isn't that i think it's impossible they'll go that way, but that i don't see myself buying into any attempt to make them sympathetic. they may well be fighting for some "greater good" that could even benefit humanity, but their methods thus far have been so plainly evil that i can't see any outcome where they aren't strictly misguided bad guys that still need to be stopped||

[wispy goblet]

yeah only after i finished did i realise the thing said that any unit with heat recovery applied to them gets a 20% dmg buff

if u have centaureissi you're chilling

[rapid bough]

even with reissi it's still kinda jank since you want to save her ult for the cleanse to get the DEF ignore buff

so you can't have the whole squad running heat recovery all the time

[timber sigil]

right but she gives it to the unit she's applying her support attack to

[long tree]

Oh details on the saber banner for hsr released, it's pity isn't the same as a regular featured banners pity so it'll start and 0 and not transfer

[rapid bough]

which is basically only sharkry and vector since QJ is ulting every turn and klukai doesn't trigger reissi supports

it's not nothing but those are the two least useful dolls to apply it to lol

I want to see what the new attachments give them but I just can't

[rapid bough]

i wanted to make sure my makiatto was at 100% crit after i messed with her attachments/keys

ended up having to go into refitting room and give her the same kit to make sure lol

i also wish you could calibrate attachments from the formation screen

it's like almost perfect

in gunsmoke i just use support v6 klukai as a 5th lol

no one's gonna beat her damage

Klook stronk

[rapid bough]

it's awkward since she doesn't trigger QJ supports but she's so OP it doesn't matter

[rapid bough]

see here where she was still over half my team's damage

really would like reissi's mod key for burn team tbh

kinda missed opportunity not releasing hers alongside vector patch

not that i'm arguing with getting QJ/makiatto's keys since those are really good too

probably not in the exact way you describe, but bluestacks is kinda unwieldy for me, which is a big reason i don't get on azur lane as much

[rapid bough]

i've been using bluestacks ever since starting the game nearly a year ago now and this is the first time i've had this issue

[old galleon]

i do remember some times where it'd have random disconnects but it wasn't like a plague

[rapid bough]

and google/discord servers don't seem to imply anyone else is experiencing this

[old galleon]

just to check, did you do an update on bluestacks or your pc at some point recently?

[rapid bough]

idk about bluestacks but windows is still updating diligently every few weeks

[old galleon]

check if you're missing a bluestacks update, run it if you are, then try again; that sometimes worked to fix miscellaneous problems i had

[rapid bough]

yeah i just checked and had a bluestacks update that i installed

fingers crossed

nope lmao

[old galleon]

resetting your internet didn't work either?

[rapid bough]

nope

and i came here and posted that immediately when i saw it

so my internet was fine

couldn't actually reconnect to azur lane for like another minute

[old galleon]

hmm

[rapid bough]

gonna do an in-game asset repair just to see

but i'm pretty close to reinstalling

[old galleon]

maybe clear cache first?

[rapid bough]

did that earlier

[old galleon]

idk if it'll help tho

hm

idk if the asset repair woudl help either, but you can try it

[rapid bough]

repair found no issues

uuuuuuuugh

[old galleon]

check firewall or dns settings?

idk if you might have changed something there before this all started

[rapid bough]

i didn't, but yeah i'm doing DNS tinkering rn

[rapid bough]

nothing appears wrong with my DNS, but i did add an "alternative" DNS to backup if my primary is randomly going in and out for some unknown reason

we'll see if that improves anything

if it does then i guess my primary is unstable, which is a shame since it's also my fastest. would have to investigate that more closely

I can't keep doing this boss

[rapid bough]

after all my standard pull woes with some ridiculously low rate i forget (like 1 SSR in 130 pulls), i had enough to do a 10 pull today for the weekly and things are coming up khaios

[old galleon]

need to summon king midas to turn all those purple miharas into gold

[rapid bough]

funny enough my free daily pull on mihara's banner was... mihara

just not the mihara i wanted

[old galleon]

ye

at least you got an sbs dupe out of it

can't complain too much unless she's already c7

[rapid bough]

marciana MLB too

[old galleon]

do you even have room for her burst skill animation

[rapid bough]

i don't, and i also have her gacha skin

but i'll still take it, marciana's one of my favorites

i had her wishlisted specifically to MLB her and now i got what i wanted

[old galleon]

wishlist is a fickle mistress sometimes

(point threshold is 785m, which is incredibly high for astral archive challenge, but mimi is weak to slash)

[rapid bough]

got my third planeta off standard banner

means i lost the QJ 50 but it was only like 30 pulls so i guess we still take those

and i do feel like i can never have enough planetas

[mental acorn]

oh shit trading in a fated encounter relic in lost&found gives you one of the others

that's fucked up

lemme just lamp into the kings shit then swap it for talons yeah

[rapid bough]

damn astra/vivian/miyabi kinda slaps biblically hard

[digital marlin]

Finally got my last piece for Zani

[rapid bough]

free doubloons for a milestone i couldn't give less of a shit about, nice

that's a nontrivial amount of premium currency too, several dollars worth

most free sources of gems in AL give like 50 max

[rapid bough]

also with a sample size of 1.5 days since doing this, my AL experience has been much more stable. not perfect, i had one network error, but before this change i'd have gotten several by now. overall significantly better than it has been

so it likely was my DNS, dunno why tho

Almost done

[old galleon]

goblin slayer and high elf archer kits were revealed

priestess also got her kit's specifics shown

[rapid bough]

priestess looks solid, good synergy with one of levia's costumes (and levia is a very good fire DPS so we'll see how that pans out)

archer and goblin slayer look ultra meh

[timber sigil]

@rapid bough Vector does hella more dmg than I thought

[rapid bough]

yeah that's around what she was doing for me as well

percentage wise anyway

idk what the buffs are today but also you have v5 QJ which is a pretty significant difference too

[timber sigil]

realised the play on this boss is to have your units grouped up together as much as possible then Centaureissi cleanse as many units to get the 25% def ignore buff

[timber sigil]

this run I used Chained Spark

[rapid bough]

figured it had a good burn buff lol

the previous two days didn't and i could only manage around 4k with burn team

[timber sigil]

also I can't think of anything else but that 1 Mosin screencap with her smug face with 'Intense Penetration' when I see that buff lmao

[rapid bough]

ofc, caveat that with klukai v6, all teams are really "klukai ft. some other dolls"

she truly is all we need

Free blonde man @lusty egret

I dunno why episode 5 and not episode 2

No wait I think ep2 came before the game

[lusty egret]

Owo

[slow raft]

looking good

i think the only one of these i really tryharded in was line 1

they made it more and more difficult to perfect a run as time went on and also i have responsibilities so i cant spend hours resetting a single fight anymore

[lusty egret]

Def type eh? Is this because GQX RX-78 also def type?

[mortal iron]

Yes

Also works out for the GQX units
GQX is attacker
Red gundam is support attacker
White gundam is defender

[lusty egret]

I see i see

I havent been using Shuji lately because Suletta outperform him in every way

But GQX RX still have some use for debuffing opponent

Now I just need to replacr Sleggar with Char

[mortal iron]

Yeah I don't really use red gundam

I maxed him out coz his event gave alot of exp

[lusty egret]

Damn I was still weak during Red Gundam event

Kinda crazy that it was the first event and its already oppressive

Astray event feels more my pace

[mortal iron]

I heard red gundam is gonna rerun again very soon so it's fine

Like mid may from what I got told (not totally sure if it's real)

[lusty egret]

Oshit lv 45 Char got twice block

Oh we have leaks for next Genshin patch

||Skirk looks to be busted beyond belief but she also kinda sounds boring as hell tbh?||

[mortal iron]

Do I have to pull the French chef

Or can I ignore her for skirk

[glossy latch]

Well

She is gonna be BiS by a ridiculous margin

[runic ether]

escoffier will be bis for ayaka, ganyu, wrio, ayato, neuvillette, and skirk

by such a wide margin

its kind of fucked

but yeah skirk's kit is probably not the most interesting

[mortal iron]

What does she do exactly

[versed pawn]

any news on a citali rerun

want that c2

[mortal iron]

Is she like a on fielder damage akin to raiden or mavuika

Or a quick swap like tighnari

[glossy latch]

Looks to be a basic attacker mostly

[mortal iron]

So like arlecchino

Like a cryo infused punch punch sword whatever

[versed pawn]

the important part is that escofier applies cryo shred without the need of applying a cryo related reaction

actually a fix for cryo character being donkey into boss floors

makes her pretty important fro cryo teams tho

irreplacable i guess even

[mortal iron]

So like for ayaka teams it'll be like what

Ayaka, escofier, shenhe, kokomi?

both are perfect in their own ways

[slow raft]

400 rolls in and i have neither

its looking like another grave situation

[idle grove]

18 rolls until pity

do a 10 pull get QJ to break my pity

that's enough gfl2 today

[runic ether]

my money is on aven winning

also if saber's splash art really is indicative, he'll be an interesting master for saber.

shirou was very idealistic and selfless, rin for the brief period was probably "ideal", kiritsugu was way too jarring for her, but aven is quite unique

wonder how saber would deal with his self-destructive/suicidal tendencies and pushing himself to the absolute brink type of person he is

[idle grove]

I would just watch f/z for that

[slow raft]

i mean saber has some experience with people that have self destructive tendencies at this point

[runic ether]

kiritsugu and aventurine have very different vibes though

[runic ether]

i mean yes lol. but shirou and aven are also just very different in their approach there.

[rigid pilot]

Is Nasu the writer for the story?

[slow raft]

hes the supervisor iirc ie he looked over it and checked if everythings ok

[runic ether]

p sure

[idle grove]

nothing is okay when Nasu is involved

and that's just how we like it

[rigid pilot]

Do we think they'll kill off characters again here for the Grail War or will they use the Penacony dream as an excuse not to have actual deaths lol

It'll be interesting at least, to see what they have cooking up

[idle grove]

probably the latter

[runic ether]

i expect the masters to die and wake up and then one of them will "not actually wake up" and we go back in to find the problem

[summer hornet]

Oh wait

[summer hornet]

Did you finish Penacony?

[digital marlin]

the way the event was described made it sound like it was going to be a fate version of that one pokemon event we had before

[rigid pilot]

I believe so. I'm on the big ship in Penacony where Sparkle is causing problems.

I guess I still have to play through the chapter where Sunday joins us because we beat his ass pretty bad Idk how he's converted lol

[summer hornet]

Yeah, that's basically the bowtie on top lol

[runic ether]

sunday turns over a new leaf with the astral express after 3 hours of uninterrupted gay sex

[summer hornet]

Real, I was the gay

But seriously lemme know when you finish the ship story

[rigid pilot]

Chicken wing boy wasn't a slur it was just queer on queer violence I see

[rapid bough]

corrosion team cooked more than burn team sheesh

well, corrosion + makiatto, since her expansion key + the heavy ammo ignores 50% DEF buff make wawa go hard too

[wispy goblet]

AUGH I MISSED A DAY OF CO OP

actually I missed two days

[runic ether]

let her cook

[rapid bough]

i just merced notorious ballet in 17 seconds with this comp wtf

and i've recently realized that my miyabi isn't even close to optimal

i know notorious hunt is just a punching bag at this point and not real endgame content but that's by far the fastest i've killed a notorious boss

[glossy latch]

I have 0 rolls for Escoffier lmao

[runic ether]

i have 7k primos leftover for skirk

maybe

idk if i really want her but i also dont wanna invest in my ayaka anymore

plus escoffier is so strong that u can argue that really, you are investing in her, and not skirk, would be better longterm for any hydro/cryo

in the same way that a lot of vertical mauvika/neuv/arle investment is citlali cons

plug and play like

navia

navia/geo/furina/escoffier is a good team in and of itself bc of how good escoffier is

though icedcoffee is also not a con-hungry character by any means especially for navia

went and got a much better set of disks (left is before, right is after)

pretty content this is the best i'll get without squeezing out that insane last bit of disk optimization

i have her sig so my crit damage is actually ~170%, still think it's kinda silly they don't display the flat +50% CDMG on the stat screen

[summer hornet]

Literally the first ten-pull

You can’t make it up lol

[runic ether]

guess you're a neuvillette main now

or ayato

also u can now wheelchair navia

with escoffier/furina/hydro or cryo

[summer hornet]

Oh yeah that’s nasty isn’t it

[runic ether]

well like

literally everyone can fit into that trio

if pyro/hydro, add citlali

if not: add a 2nd hydro or cryo

xingqiu, yelan are the 2 clear ones that are quite broken to add in hydro

for cryo, its rosaria or kaeya

finally, yoimiya can be considered "good" again

and its furina esco citlali

[summer hornet]

I guess they’ve kneecapped pyro and cryo for a while, huh

I imagine freeze stunlock was a lot harder to do before now

[runic ether]

freeze is still pretty shit

escoffier is just broken

[summer hornet]

Lmao

[runic ether]

less that freeze has become good (again), more than escoffier (and furina) are quite good

[summer hornet]

[runic ether]

like the big issue with her really is just her damage is just stupid good

and she aoe heals

and she shreds hydro/cryo

and she buffs

like okay

[summer hornet]

Everything including the kitchen sink, then

…i actually haven’t read her kit yet lol

[runic ether]

yeah for comparison: her damage is comparable to fischl

[summer hornet]

I usually do that before rolling

[runic ether]

she does off field cryo and heals

thats her primary kit

her talents give her better aoe healing for the team (best furina healer)

well not best raw

jean technically beats her

and shreds too

but jean does has even close to her damage

and vv shredding is more skill intensive

but also she does a lot of damage too (esco)

[summer hornet]

Oh I didn’t think about the Furina HP side of things

Jfc yeah no wonder

[runic ether]

so yeah combo of big aoe heals, really good off field personal damage, and she shreds cryo/hydro

her scaling is so funny too

cus its like

1 cryo/hydro is like 5%

2 is 10

3 is 15

4 is 55%

[summer hornet]

W

Well I guess they really wanted to reward that team comp huh
