Already did that

If I was hunting for the A signature wengines, are those only in the standard pool?

digital marlin
#

Belion +3 Snap and Agent guilver are who i have right now

rapid bough
wispy goblet
#

hmm
guess I'm gonna have to pull on the w-engine banners one of these days

#

Tryna get The Vault for Nicole

rapid bough
#

definitely don't pull on them for A rank wengines lol

#

weapon banners are already of questionable value to begin with even when pulling for S rank sigs

#

they're definitely not worth for hunting A ranks

digital marlin
#

yeah save the W engine pulling for when you have a devloped rooster and what have any issues with pull for it

#

dont make the same mistake i did

rapid bough
#

moccus is also decent for teams that can field 2x calydon agents (usually burnice+lucy)

wispy goblet
#

I got three characters to Level 60
I am now out of character leveling mats

rapid bough
#

sounds about right

digital marlin
#

i dont have burnice as part of my plans to pull in the future

wispy goblet
#

They're gonna make me grind leveling mats at the VR store

#

Leveling mats

digital marlin
#

as it is right now outside of who i told about before the other character i have intrest in pulling is Trigger

rapid bough
#

based

#

but yeah bangboo are pretty minor team contributors so i wouldn't stress about having the perfect ones for every team

#

you shouldn't be using their chain attacks so most of their strength is decided by their active skills

wispy goblet
#

are their chain attacks that bad

rapid bough
#

and because the vast majority of damage is being done by your agents, active skills that buff agents are best

wispy goblet
#

Literally bonus contributions

rapid bough
#

some of them have good chain attacks, usually the ones with high multipliers and a fast animation (moccus is one of them)

#

but two issues

digital marlin
#

guessing one has to do with the limited time span of stuns

rapid bough
#
  1. most teams with attack agents would rather set up a double chain attack with their main DPS (eve, zhu, s11, etc) -- doing this means losing access to bangboo chain attack to begin with
#
  1. stun windows only last so long, and the animations of a chain attack eat into that time. time spent waiting for your bangboo to do its chain attack animation is time you could be spending blasting with your agent
#

for (2), even the most optimal rotations struggle to fit everything they want into an average stun window

#

bangboo chains make that even harder

#

so unfortunately it's not just a "bonus", since you are actually trading away time in the stun window you could spend on your agents

#

i honestly kinda wish they'd change it so that the stun timer doesn't decrease during bangboo chain attacks to make them actually worthwhile

#

but it's been that way since the game's release and now we're a year in

#

something tells me they don't care enough

well, since it's an iron weak raid and i should probably get this team up and running sooner or later, it's time to get miranda's favorite item to enable snow white memes

that was a cute favorite item story

the temp VA they got for her kinda doesn't fit though

Did you, by any chance, reroll your account recently

Ye

slow raft

I already sent knvites but since thats no longer new i did it again

rapid bough
#

this is actually a pretty fun boss

#

shift up kinda cooked

#

need to proactively take cover at times, destroy certain parts quickly, etc. and doing so rewards you with stuns on the boss and whatnot

#

nikke raid bosses are usually either a snoozefest or supremely bullshit if you don't have very particular team comps

#

this one's the right balance of "fun to play correctly and punishing enough if you don't" (i died a few times before learning to take cover at certain times lol)

old galleon
#

i got to like 4.something b

#

2.something of that was with rapi comp bc of course it was

#

incidentally my red hood comp got 100something m and died early and solo raid was loading super fucking slowly for me at the time so i just left it

#

on the upside, my numbers are slowly creeping up with every raid

#

on the downside, it's still nowhere near enough to get the highest frame awards

rapid bough
#

holy shit raven

#

this boss is basically perfect for her tbf but damn

#

also feels good to have a reason to use s.rosanna

#

she is a genuinely good unit but so few bosses have regular parts to destroy

old galleon
#

oh right i say red hood team but that one had my raven in it lmao

#

my rapi team was what you'd expect, siren/crown/rapi core with eve and helm

idle grove
rapid bough
#

i had to restart this due to bad RNG on maxwell getting targeted over and over but...

#

feels good to finally have snow white dumpstering bosses

#

preparing for this solo raid only cost me almost all my banked doll maintenance mats and skill leveling materials lol

#

but tbf i'd been saving them up for way too long

#

Damn ive had rice shower for two days and if anything happened to make her slightly upset i will kill

holy prydwen doesn't let you search zzz agents by faction

They should not be allowed to pack this much anxiety in a single horse

Bro this horse is making me cry she cannot be this pathetically adorable

#

Bah thats it making rice shower sad is now a criminal offence

silver osprey

If only she wasn't a pain to train

mortal iron

watch this to see if this makes her more sad

This is the most pathetic and spineless thing ive seen in my life

Its mandatory

mortal iron

she walks back to her home still being tied up

she really is so harmless

Guaranteed this was goldships idea too

Not cheering her up but the kidnapping

kidnapping is always her idea

she invented kidnapping

My reroll couldnt get the card fully uncapped but its got 2 uncaps on it so that fine probably

mortal iron

she so smol and harmless im crying

wispy goblet
#

okay
time to prep for solo challenge

old galleon
#

apparently the final pr8 ship was revealed last night

#

italian destroyer named vittorio cuniberti

#

sadly that name, combined with her design, is gonna draw in the weirdos

#

gonna purposely choose to ignore that bc it's definitely not intentional on the devs' part and instead think about the order i'll go for them in

#

so the three golds are: italian vanguard, russian vanguard, american main

#

and the two rainbows are: dutch vanguard, german main

#

no idea what factions gouden leeuw will need

#

since there are all of two total dutch ships in the game right now

#

the others are at least predictable

#

there's her design btw

#

innocent of itself but you know how people get

#

oh wait they did say what we'll need for leeuw

#

iron blood/sardegna

#

so german/italian

#

considering the netherlands was occupied in wwii, i guess that makes sense

long tree
old galleon
#

how's bache the first example that comes to mind for that?

long tree
#

First one i remembered

old galleon
#

fair enough

#

gold 283 mm ca gun in pr8 gear research

#

german pocket battleships going ballistic

#

potentially freed from teh tyranny of 283 purple

rapid bough
#

like usual i doubt this will stay above 3% but i think this is the highest i've gotten

#

sadly the snow white team couldn't live through the whole fight

#

prolly would've done 3m+ if it had healing but even with dodging preventable damage my HP was too low to live through the latter half of the fight

#

MVP of each team: rapihood (duh), bunny soda (normally it's drake but ele advantage too strong), cindy (duh), raven, and snow white

#

in all cases the MVP did half or more of the team's total damage

#

well it's canon that daiyan is perfect wife material

wispy goblet
#

pretty disappointing outcome
I feel like I could have played it so much better but the pattern felt so unnatural and I couldn't pass a few key chokepoints

@runic ether do you know how much of a damageloss running Phainon with a sustain is?

runic ether
#

depends on the sustain

#

but it is generally around 15%+?

#

give or take

#

okay if its not huohuo

#

the dps loss is over 22%

#

if its gallagher its "only" 22%

glossy latch

That ... should be fine

Sustainless just isnt working for me, the supports take too much damage and die too early

Can't believe how many of those challange bpcs I missed

glossy latch
#

Somehow frustrating that I can't 0-cycle even with Sparkle and E1 RM

runic ether
#

well his lc is like 35% increase from fall of an aeon

#

so its probable that you're just missing the 0 cycle off that

glossy latch
#

Yeah but if you cant 0-cycle going sustainless is kinda rough

Because once he leaves his transformation your supports are vulnerable again

runic ether

who is your 3rd in sustainless?

glossy latch

Sparkle, Bronya, RM

Maybe RMC would be better since their technique seems to delay enemies or advance your team

They do have skip summary now

And you get RMC in the first patch of Amphoreus story

rmc is great because u get e6 for free

and thats probably ovven's concern

can he get rmc now? yeah

can he get it before moc cycle ends?

that requires more exploration into amphoreus than i assume ovven would have time for rn

glossy latch

Yeah

Realistically I want to just do it with the characters I have, and its odd because my Sparkle is also E1 (her E1 isnt that good tbf) and fully maxed out

But she isnt really managing

He really does slot perfectly with Sparkle, which should make side 1 easier

#

how many s11 dupes do you have

runic ether
#

m2

#

m2p1

rapid bough
#

yeah that'd prolly do it, her m2 especially is really good

#

i dream of getting eve's wengine and one stunning shiyu bosses forevermore

runic ether
#

1:44 specifically

rapid bough
#

yeah i got 1:40 exactly

#

so i am still better okbuddy

#

(i am using the better agent)

runic ether
#

eve is just really strong yea

#

though eve's mindscapes are just okay overall

#

11's are about equal

rapid bough
#

i was lamenting the other day that eve's mindscapes are actually kinda mid

runic ether
#

eve's wengine should be a big boost to 11

rapid bough
#

her base kit and sig are so strong that i guess they played it safe with her mindscapes

runic ether
#

like it is p crazy that her wengine beats her mindscapes

#

havent seen that since like

#

genshin 1.x patches

rapid bough
#

i mean eve's sig is just insane for any fire attacker

#

obviously we only have two rn but i wouldn't be surprised if eve's sig is just second best for any future fire attack char (behind their sig, probably)

runic ether
#

yeah true

rapid bough
#

s11 only have a standard banner sig means she got less power budget so hers is even worse than eve's

runic ether
#

yeah even then brimstone is pretty crazy

#

get 8 normals ult is so much fucking damage on res pen

digital marlin
#

she was my first 5*

rapid bough
#

oh

#

but you don't have lighter right

digital marlin
#

nope

rapid bough
#

he's another equally important piece to the eve dream team so that's still a big difference

digital marlin
#

going to focus on getting Yanagi and Miyabi team up and running before i considering doing more pulls for my existing teams

#

Koleda is going to hold base until them

rapid bough
#

koleda definitely gets the job done, i also used her before i got lighter

#

but no question lighter is a night and day difference for that team (and really any team that can use him--he's arguably the best support in the game for the teams that can make use of his buffs)

runic ether
#

yep

#

ellen, hugo, eve, 11, even miyabi

#

oh right the nikke summer livestream is around 7 hours away, i will be asleep but at least it'll be fun to wake up to the details

my body is not ready for summer elegg (that has to be why she's the new free episode viewing)

wispy goblet
#

I have spent two hours picking out disks for Nicole
(her two piece set will have minimal impact on her output)

#

I have made the difficult decision to skip Caesar this run
because we are trying to save pulls for an Eve run

rapid bough
#

2pc set bonuses can actually make a world of difference if they get you to a stat threshold or something

#

in nicole's case the energy regen from (presumably) swing jazz 2pc is surprisingly important

#

that said, the set bonuses are most of what you're after

wispy goblet
#

Swing Jazz is her 4pc
hence all the difficulty lol

rapid bough
#

the actual disk stats are secondary in most cases

#

(on supports, that is)

#

well, i guess it's really A rank supports that's true for

#

the S rank supports/stunners have stat breakpoints to hit that make good disk stats important

wispy goblet
#

do I want anomaly proficiency or mastery on supportive pieces

rapid bough
#

well the only piece you'd get AM% on is disk 6 which should have energy regen instead

wispy goblet
#

I mean for the 2pc set bonus

rapid bough
#

oh

#

if her ether buildup is actually important to you for triggering corruption then AM% will be better than AP

wispy goblet
#

I'm still not sure I follow all the stats

  • Ether DMG affects the damage dealt to the HP bar through Ether sources (which can include basic attacks and abilities)
  • Anomaly Mastery affects the rate at which the anomaly bar fills up
  • Anomaly Proficiency increases the damage dealt through the full bar proc (and extra effects?)
#

is that right?

rapid bough
#

correct

wispy goblet
#

Does Ether's DoT trigger on full bar proc only?

rapid bough
#

all elemental types only trigger their anomaly effects when the bar fills up (you'll also usually see big text over the enemy saying "shock!" or "corruption!" or whatever)

#

before the anomaly gauge fills up, it doesn't do anything

wispy goblet
#

gotcha

#

what can crit
just basic attacks, or any source of damage (outside of anomaly effects)?

rapid bough
#

any source of damage other than anomaly effects (though sometimes anomalies can crit too if agent mechanics allow it, jane for instance can get assault crits)

wispy goblet
#

I see
so that's why the spreadsheet guide says atk% and crit rate substats are possible chase stats for Nicole

#

does attack affect all (non-anomaly) damage sources too?

runic ether
#

for most characters yeah

rapid bough
#

for most agents thus far, yes. rupture class agents (currently only yixuan) will likely be an exception to that since they have sheer force

runic ether
#

though yixuan gets way better rupture conversion off hp

#

its hp% > flat hp > atk% > def% > flat atk > flat def

rapid bough
#

also to be clear, anomaly damage does scale off ATK as well

#

it just also scales off a bunch of other shit too

#

specifically AP is a multiplier which is why it's more important for maximizing anomaly damage

#

but if you had 1000 AP and 1 ATK your anomalies would hit like a wet noodle

#

so ATK does matter

wispy goblet
#

Got it. So ATK is a chase stat in general for almost everyone.

rapid bough
#

idk if i'd call it a chase stat

#

it is a good stat for everyone though

#

no character thus far is unhappy with an ATK roll, but there might be better ones depending on thresholds they want to hit or their own agent mechanics (e.g. miyabi converting up to 80% crit into anomaly buildup rate)

#

the general rule is:

attack agents: balance of ATK and CR% + CDMG%, with the latter two preferably in a 1:2 ratio (i.e., 75% CR is best paired with ~150% CDMG)
anomaly agents: AP without sacrificing too much ATK, only exception thus far is miyabi who wants more crit and ATK stats and largely ignores AP (tbh miyabi is more of an attack agent in terms of her damage profile anyway)
stun characters: impact is most important, followed by crit stats (especially getting to 50% CR for king of the summit disk set)
support/defense: extremely case by case, some want tons of ATK (astra), some want a balance of ATK and crit (lucy), others honestly don't have super important stat thresholds and rely more on buffs/debuffs they apply (nicole)

#

usually it's pretty easy to tell if an agent has some special consideration for their stat priority by reading their core skill

#

unique scalings or thresholds are almost always in agent core skills

#

that's where yixuan's HP->sheer force conversion is, jane's assault crits, miyabi's CR% -> anomaly buildup, astra's and lucy's ATK thresholds to apply their full buffs, etc

#

and if an agent has some fancy scaling off a particular stat, it's a safe bet they want to focus on that stat up to a certain point

wispy goblet
#

Are there any good signs a disk can be safely dismantled? Cleaning out my storage and tryna recoup some resources.

rapid bough
#

well for a start, any disk less than S rank is fodder from the jump unless you're using it as a bridge piece to get a set bonus (which you might be early in the game, but endgame only ever uses S rank disks)

#

disks 4, 5, and 6 are easy culprits since you can narrow them down to particular ideal stat combinations and rule out the rest

  • any disk in these slots with HP% or DEF% as a main stat is dismantle fodder (except yunkui disks)
  • for disk sets primarily used on DPS agents, impact and energy regen disk 6s are dismantle fodder, as is AM% for any disk set not used on anomaly agent
  • disk 5s with element% damage of an element that disk wouldn't ever be used on are dismantle fodder (e.g. thunder metal with a phys% roll is useless)

disks 1/2/3 are harder to weed out since they always have the same main stats. my only real policy outside of going through them individually is to dismantle disks that rolled with 2 defensive substats (HP%, HP, DEF%, DEF--except for yunkui where HP stats can be good), but that's mostly late game optimization, you're not far enough along where you can just pass up disks that are suboptimal

wispy goblet
#

Gotcha. Grazie.

rapid bough
#

optimizing disks is very much the infinite grind of the endgame though so don't sweat having to run super janky sets or suboptimal stats, especially at the start when you're just gearing up characters

#

and in your case where your roster isn't even fully leveled so you have to burn battery on agent leveling mats that's even more true

#

burning battery on routine cleanup for disks is definitely a luxury "i don't have anything else to do" activity

#

with an incomplete roster you'll always get more out of just leveling another agent than you will optimizing the disks of your existing agents

#

just use the music shop to roll for disks when you need to get an agent's equipment up and running initially

@timber sigil @idle grove GFL2 DEVS DELIVER, PULLS IN DORITO SHOP STARTING JULY 24 + 10 FREE TARGETED ACCESS PERMS

#

i have saved since release (except for buying QJ's sig) waiting for this day

#

i think they're totally covering their asses by saying they basically forgot to mention it during the preview program tho

#

people just complained so much that they caved and decided to add it sooner than planned lol

#

which tbf is still based, means that they listened

rapid bough
#

@runic ether you mentioned the other day that yuzuha 4pc is freedom blues, but i assume that's only her BIS for physical anomaly teams

assuming no phys anomaly (e.g. using with yanagi), i'm seeing a mix of astral voice, proto punk, and swing jazz suggested, do you have any idea which of those is best for general use

#

i'm kinda thinking swing jazz because more energy means more EXes which means more of her aftershocks

#

she doesn't QA enough on her own to maintain astral, and i honestly kind of hate proto punk because it's so reliant on bosses playing nice and setting up well-timed defensive assists

runic ether
#

oh no yeah thats freedom blues for jane/alice

#

if not, i think u can go with astral, swing, or proto tbh

#

astral is more generic

#

just depends on her team

#

we really need loadouts

rapid bough
#

i might go with astral even if slightly suboptimal simply because farming swing/proto fucking sucks

#

actually i guess proto isn't too bad, chaos jazz is an alright set to get extra pieces of

#

no worse than blade&branch anyway

#

hmmm

#

proto's 2pc is literally useless tho

#

at least astral gives extra ATK

#

ugh i hate it when characters don't get disk sets made for them lmao

runic ether
#

yeah lol but also

#

imo

#

it makes builds more interesting

#

fact that theres good arguments for different sets is good imo

rapid bough
#

while i do agree i think that's only valid if and when we get disk loadouts

runic ether
#

it'll be a when

rapid bough
#

because until then, swapping between multiple situational sets blows chunks

runic ether
#

but yea

#

genshin introduced loadouts and my complaints of the game vanished more or less

#

actually

#

there is just one

#

cant repeat weekly bosses yet

#

cant grind whatever talent for skills any time

rapid bough
#

jesus ZZZ added that in like the second major patch lol

#

also fuck it i'm farming swing jazz

#

it's used in too many places

runic ether
#

the character models are def like

#

good but

#

you see phainon in hsr

on a serious note, akane ns 5* is the first one to happen for a 3/4 star who got their as form first

#

wtf

rapid bough
#

devs were on copious amounts of drugs when making mecklenburg

#

539 FP???? wtf????????

old galleon
#

gouden leeuw aa nuke

#

also datamine isn't fully fleshed out yet, augments are old

rapid bough
#

i'm mostly curious about the PR8 stuff which seems to be up to date

#

i really dunno shit about azur lane meta and stat spreads and whatnot

#

but idk how mecklenburg doesn't instantly become the best BB in the game

#

was nice knowing you lion

#

her only drawback seems to be low RLD but she gives herself a +15% buff with another KMS in the fleet (z23 anyone)

#

the current highest FP in the game is musashi with 479, 15 more than #2 (rafaello)

#

mecklenburg has 539, literally 60 more

#

that is an absolutely bonkers increase

#

and her skills give a bunch of +%damage for the whole fleet and -5 main gun spread to herself

old galleon
#

what's lion's fp?

rapid bough
#

463

#

it's to the point where i feel like this datamine is either incorrect or the devs messed up

#

439 would make way more sense, that's still more than vanguard and leaves room for her support skills

old galleon
#

oh cool gouden leeuw can equip any cb gun by default

#

she's basically a cb in all but name

#

(if she equips a ca gun she ignores shields)

#

(should still equip a cb gun for the othe reffects and that cb guns arc over shields anyway iirc)

rapid bough
#

if 539 FP is legit and she also has:

    • 15% FP and ACC to self, and if a KMS is in the fleet also +15% RLD for self
  • -5 main gun spread for self
    • 15% damage for self against heavy
    • debuffs to apply up to seemingly +18% more damage from your whole fleet to enemies
    • 10% CR/20% CDMG to enemies she marks
#

not to mention she has two barrages

#

there's just no way she doesn't powercreep every BB in the game

#

to a degree that ECTL might need to make a new tier just for her lmao

old galleon
#

i think that's probably overhyping it

#

do we even know what the numbers on her barrage are?

rapid bough
#

i mean like

old galleon
#

bc if her barrage is mediocre, then that makes her quite a bit worse than advertised

rapid bough
#

though bad barrages haven't stopped other BBs from still being really good by weight of other buffs

#

looking at vanguard here

old galleon
#

lol kansas actively wants a slow gun

rapid bough
#

mecklenburg meanwhile has over +100 FP on vanguard and around equal buffs to her fleet

#

so her barrage would have to be REALLY bad to not outdamage everything under the sun

old galleon
#

okay so i actually looked at mecklenburg

#

gonna need to double check numbers

#

but 63 acc looks backbreaking

wispy goblet
rapid bough
#

which is in line with most other URs

old galleon
#

what is 15% of 63?

#

bc it's certainly not 15

rapid bough
#

oh 15% not 15 i misread

old galleon
#

closer to 10

rapid bough
#

73 ACC is still not awful

#

i think musashi has 74

old galleon
#

you kinda have to patch up the accuracy with auxes, which, while you're probably doing that anyway, does make it harder to use black shell

rapid bough
#

i can't remember the last time i used black shell tbh

old galleon
#

anyway, s anis rerun mentioned

rapid bough
#

always white shell + fire control

rapid bough
#

gonna MLB s.mary

#

useless for gameplay but SSSSSS tier for lobby meta

#

also about damn time we get x.anne and x.rupee reruns

#

solo raid museum is a neat game mode

#

not sure who was asking for it but seems fun and gives room to experiment with comps which is cool

wispy goblet
#

other stuff from the twitter thread
September QOL changes include:

  • auto tribe tower
  • lower buff chain requirements
  • base Synchro Machine slots from 5 to 25
  • removal of cooldown
  • batch upgrades when lower than Level 200
  • auto use consumable items for Synchro level up
  • free level reset
  • weapon tutorial improvement
  • new mold called Type Mold found in tribe tower, has guaranteed SSR, "as an additional reward while retaining the current Tribe Tower rewards" (dev team thinking about how to reward molds for already-cleared floors)
rapid bough
#

all the synchro device QoL is ULTRA blessed

old galleon
#

hello, based department?

rapid bough
#

sure looks like those changes + the new type mold are heavily inspired by (if not entirely ripped from) the CN QoL stuff people were malding over

wispy goblet
#

upgrades targeted "within the year" include

  • lock consumables to prevent accidental use
  • pin/favorite nikke system
  • new "story difficulty" option for campaign
  • story order guide (to help identify when to play through side content)
  • limit break/core enhance batch feature
  • character expression viewer
old galleon
#

anyway, mecklenburg obv looks very good but i'm still going elf mom first

#

and tbh, you probably should get her done eventually if you want to do plane hells

rapid bough
#

yeah i should obviously say that no matter how good mecklenburg is, it'll be quite a while til she's usable lol

old galleon
#

gouden leeuw looks a lot like guam with higher numbers in some places and lower numbers elsewhere

#

and guam is already close to mandatory for chapter 15 qol (not actually mandatory to clear but she def helps)

wispy goblet
#

hold on
are they gonna run six rerun banners in September
alongside whatever new nikkes are running

rapid bough
#

sure sounds like it

#

i wonder about their "special rerun recruitment" phrasing, like what's special?

#

this nier collab rerun has me thinking they'll hand out special recruit tickets only usable for the reruns

#

which would let them give out a ton of free pulls specifically for the reruns, but those pulls can't be saved to use on future banners

wispy goblet
#

Frima's the gimme

lots of these are teasers for existing nikkes which are obviously gonna rerun

wispy goblet
#

is that pepper and not mary?

#

oh different hat

rapid bough
#

there's both, pepper's is on the left on the table

#

what i'm noticing though is the orange two-piece swimsuit which i'm pretty sure is new, and the single triangle of what looks like a yellow bikini right next to it

#

the swimsuit elegg agenda has never been stronger

#

it's time

#

man this nikke dev note is blessed

#

shift up had a ton of fumbles during the first half of the year

#

but starting with the stellar blade collab and onward to the second half of the year, if it goes as planned, and if they stick the landing for 3rd anni, they could fully redeem themselves by year's end

  • CATCHMEIFYOUCAN717 CD key to redeem
  • new unit: elegg: boom and shock
  • new unit: dorothy: serendipity
  • reruns for last year's summer sakura and rosanna
  • new costumes: rapi red hood (swimsuit, gacha), tove, julia
  • summer frima, yan, pepper skin reruns
  • new favorite items: poli, julia, bay, tove
  • solo raid museum (this was mentioned in the latest dev note)

new unit: dorothy: serendipity
@old galleon it was foretold

#

limited pilgrim alt

#

they didn't mention in the livestream how it will be handled (1% or 2%)

#

however, the screenshot they shared on twitter says "limited pick-up recruit"

#

which would be 2%, since pilgrims normally have pilgrim recruit

wispy goblet

I love Yan but I might have to skip the summer skin rerun
too many things tryna snag mi walleta

also the RRH gacha skin looks peak but i'm so conflicted because she also won the popularity poll

the flash peek is so peak

rapid bough

i've already lost

wispy goblet
rapid bough
#

they're definitely playing with our hearts and wallets by releasing this rapihood gacha skin before any hint as to what what her popularity poll costume might be

#

so long as we get details before the end of her gacha costume running though, i'll be content

#

i will hold out at least until we know what the poll options are

#

because as peak as this skin is, if it's a choice between $60 for it or waiting for a free alternative that's just as good or better, i must resist

#

understated aspect of her design is the red hood wolf ears hair clip with the ponytail

#

the ponytail is stunlocking me, between this and the recent moran pass skin i'm discovering i am a sucker for a good ponytail with bangs design

#

judging from the fact that nearly every post on the nikke sub is about the rapihood gacha skin and its animation previews... i'm thinking shift up just activated the money printer

rapid bough
#

for point of comparison

#

this is how they announced her banner, "limited pick up recruit"

#

and this was what they do for pilgrims, e.g. little mermaid here -- "pilgrim pick up recruit"

#

so i'm thinking despite being a pilgrim, she will be a 2% banner

wispy goblet
#

huh

#

Curious

rapid bough
#

of course, this is the first limited pilgrim so we have no actual precedent

#

but i think they would've said it was a "limited pilgrim pick up recruit" if they intended to make it 1%

wispy goblet
#

Plausible

#

Inb4 it's 0.5%

rapid bough
#

hmmm

#

alternatively they both do have the pilgrim icon between "pick" and "up"

long tree
#

Woe, 0.1% upon ye

rapid bough
wispy goblet
#

Hmmmmm

rapid bough
#

sigh

#

guess we'll wait and see

#

i am coping for 2%

old galleon
#

not dorothy specifically, but seasonal pilgrim

rapid bough
#

see my above cope for 2%

#

if it's a 2% banner then it doesn't really mean much of anything

old galleon
#

i'm 100% expecting it to be 1%

#

2% is cope, sadly

also gacha skins are a scam, so that rapi skin is pure evil

Finally got a good Tokai Teio and proceeded to 3-0 Spe in the event

#

oh cool, this flaming asshole of a fight is back

#

you'd think a boss weak to all elements would be trivial, but it's pretty mechanically annoying

#

and the shadow version made it an hp sponge lol

#

gonna have to run it sometime tho

#

this one's a lot easier but showcases how good kid is

#

my own clear will probably use aldo somewhere in here instead; akane is sadly required

be me, long time another eden player
see whispers of time (free roll event) is live

#

so yeah shanie's the first old character with an sa that i've managed to sa through pulls instead of buying her starcharts

#

3* MoC nyaruhodo

#

All it took is for Tingyun to be sacrificed

#

(She tanked too many Hoolay hits)

old galleon
#

for reference, if you have a character who gets an sa while already in the game at 5 star, you get one starchart for them (you need 3)

if you pull them at 5 star in other banners, you get one of their starcharts

#

in short i've pulled her at 5 star twice since her stellar awakening, off rate up bc she's an old character

#

idfk anymore

#

not complaining; while shanie sa is not the greatest character, she's workable

i thought of this earlier and forgot to mention, but i'm pretty sure this nikke summer event is the first where the timeline is far enough along that we get RRH instead of base rapi

old galleon
#

you would be correct

rapid bough
#

well, other than footstep walk run itself but that was sort of a necessity lol

old galleon
#

i was excluding her introductory event for obvious reasons

rapid bough
#

just saw s.doro's uncensored shooting pose

#

yeah this is absolutely a 1% banner

wispy goblet
#

It slipped my mind that event is framed in the context of Rapi explaining her transformation after the big battle

long tree
#

KEKW they want that money huh

old galleon
#

they gave rapi an incredible skin in the costume gacha

#

that alone should tell you they want that money

rapid bough
#

yeah judging from the community reaction to that rapi skin

#

they've successfully rolled out the money printer

wispy goblet
#

they know they're competing against their own free skin

old galleon
#

now i hope her freebie skin can match up

rapid bough
#

i really hope we at least get an inkling of what the options are before this summer event runs out

#

it'd be diabolical if they delay the poll until after the gacha skin runs

#

pretty sure the red hood skin poll was already done by this time last year

wispy goblet
#

to be fair
they've clearly had a bunch of delays in their flow

rapid bough
#

between getting nikke CN launched, then the backlash of that likely causing them to scramble to port some of the CN features to global, and then getting the stellar blade collab out the door (which they definitely spared no expense on, but it was a major hit so time well spent), and then having to get summer stuff ready

#

yeah they've had quite a crazy last few months

#

oh and ofc 2.5 anni was right before all of that too lol

slow raft
rapid bough
#

which, looking back, was on the weaker side for their anni events

#

though it's really hard to top old tales, red ash, and overzone

#

last kingdom and unbreakable sphere aren't bad but they weren't peak like those 3 either

wispy goblet
#

can't wait for that pinne depresso in my sexy bikini women game

idle grove
#

is the hsr fsn collab tomorrow

rapid bough
#

no tears, only doro

wispy goblet
#

I have to wonder

#

is this the event where Doro overcomes her trauma

#

surely it's too early

rapid bough
#

definitely not, they're cooking up way too much with her in the main story atm

#

she's not gonna overcome her trauma in a random offshoot summer event ft. spooky ghosts and then on a dime return to the main story as a reformed hero lol

#

would be some major whiplash

#

however i'm sure there will be some trauma processing

#

these events seem to be 80% fanservice and 20% character development which is fun since the main conceit is just getting hot women in bikinis, leave it to nikke to turn that into character dev

#

last year had development for sakura, viper, and rosanna

#

the year before was helm and pepper/mary-focused

#

guess this event will be doro and tbh probably rapi if she's getting as bold as her skin implies

wispy goblet
#

you just reminded me

rapid bough
wispy goblet
#

doro reaction to RRH... existing

rapid bough
#

oh true

wispy goblet
#

and RH being gone-gone
until SU write a way to bring her back at the eleventh hour

rapid bough
#

bet on it, since latest story spoilers ||ziz and levi found her old two-core body that got left behind when she was decapitated by grave digger in an early chapter||

old galleon
#

ez

#

as promised, used aldo instead of senya in the fight

#

wanted to use shigure instead of milla but the stupid turtle had 150% resistances instead of 100%

#

i'm just now reading the PR8 ship skills since ofc the datamine was MTL'd and spruced up a bit, but the game has the official translations now

#

unsurprisingly mecklenburg's damage buffs are not as free as the initial datamine implied they were, 8% of it only applies to her and 5% only applies if the enemy is being succed (by a bzwei-like effect i assume)

#

i actually think kansas's barrage ability is very interesting and i wish more ships did novel things like that (in kansas's case, buffing slow gun usage)

#

unfortunately syncing main fleet attacks with one another is too important so gimmicks like that end up not working

#

does make me wonder how hard kansas can go with yamato gun though lmao

#

i wonder what the details on leeuw's bombing raids are, her skill just says they "periodically become available" lol

#

also affects how useful she is for AA, since her stacking AA buffs only apply on her 2nd and 3rd bombing raids, so if they take too long then they might not be as useful for late campaign mobbing

slow raft
rapid bough
#

cuniberti and donskoi seem kinda whatever, cuniberti seems she might be nutty for TRP spam comps but idk, and donskoi doesn't jump out at me in any way other than her defensive skill seems like it'd be really good for pvp

old galleon
#

since it's battle sim, idk if the cooldown is accurate

rapid bough
#

oh right battle sims are a thing

#

i always forget that feature lol

old galleon
#

it's never representative, particularly for backliners, bc they make the cooldown much faster

#

but it's there

#

anyway, rapi gacha skin is gonna be the death of me

#

but i'll probably have to pass

rapid bough
#

it will be the test of a lifetime for me

old galleon
#

her free skin better hold up to it

rapid bough
#

if i didn't know a free skin of hopefully similar quality was on the horizon, it'd be an autobuy

#

my decision about whether to buy it will probably be based on the details they release about the poll skin between now and when this gacha skin ends, in a few weeks

#

hopefully they give us any details between now and then, since like i said, it'd be diabolical to keep the poll skin details under wraps to sell more of the gacha skin in the meantime

old galleon
#

oh yeah also the +20 base synchro slots is blessed

#

just remembered that was a thing they're eventually adding

#

but i def need them

#

man why does like every gouden leeuw art have to be so lewd i would feel awkward posting it here

#

(it's mainly her clothes i think)

rapid bough
#

uhh yeah it's because her base design is that lewd lmao

old galleon
#

wouldn't have been out of place as a skin imo

#

aaaanyway

#

kansas is apparently our first mgm+3 bb

#

but at only 115% efficiency to compensate

#

also if the spreadsheet is any indication, leeuw has a hidden effect that gives her 700 avi at mlb, tho idk how much it'll help her airstrike damage

#

anyway, she looks pretty reasonably tanky, can use some cb guns (presumably just the 283s), and has planes

#

man i hope she's good
