old galleon
technically no, but it's still good to have done since there is small story stuff in there and one of the rewards interacts with the grand system
if you wanted to clear it multiple times tho, then yes, there is a time limit for that
after a certain amount of time it won't be replayable
there are no rewards for doing it more than once, so at that point it's an exercise in testing out different comps for the different waves

||What do you mean the traveler has a spaceship that's currently on the moon??||
thats not a leak exactly
5.7's quest tells us outright
not the location
but it does tell us that
specifically
||the plot around 5.7 is about how the traveler finds the key to their sleep pod||
glossy latch
... what
runic ether
||and that the abyss twin had no idea we were even awake until they found a discrepency in the timeline||
||where they find their sibling out and about when the twin was supposed to be asleep and unable to wake up after finding a woman with the traveler's key||
||the reason the abyss twin chickened out from fighting for khaenriah was a result of this bc they wanted to ensure our safety and then suddenly, we were out and about just fine||
||the whole quest is about the traveler causing this issue in the first place||
glossy latch
This feels very out of left field.
runic ether
i wont lie, ||i do like that they came in a spaceship as a part of the plot point.||
||it does help make the travelers feel more alien to teyvat||
glossy latch
I guess but like
||They were never shown to be particularly adept at using technology||
runic ether
tbf, ||teyvat hasnt really given them a lot to work with. there is also a level of disconnect that can happen with technological gaps.||
||ie its very unlikely ppl would know how tech from the 1600s or 1700s nowdays would properly function due to how modern our world tech is now||
||the travelers can pilot a spaceship but something like a fontaine automaton would feel basic/alien to them bc its too primitive to what they are used to||
glossy latch
Hmmm
runic ether
not to mention, ||a good part of the tech in teyvat is powered by its elemental system too.||

||most likely a branch on the imaginary tree of the wider hoyo verse||
||though it has been deliberately closed off/semi-hidden away it feels much like how earth and the moon were in hi3rd||

runic ether

That was not nearly as hard as I thought it'd be
It wasn't easy, but it was definitely more of an account flex lol
Particularly in the CEs department; I'd forgotten I had some of those 50% battery event CEs lying around
old galleon
That was not nearly as hard as I thought it'd be
flare marie is def the easiest of the four
aqua marie (the next one) is also easy if you don't care strictly about kills
if you care about kills, it's the second hardest one
hardest one should be grand marie (the third one) at her highest difficulty; lowest difficulty should be manageable
stellar marie is just a rehash of flare marie with some more gimmicks and a different party rotation system, but it looks manageable
thing about aqua marie is that unlike with flare marie where most of the waves have one enemy, most of the waves instead have at least 6 enemies, some up to 18
if you don't care about kills, then you can really just stall out the turn limit per wave
but remember that enemy kills give you badges that let you use the special mystic code during that gauntlet
so caring about kills to be able to use those skills makes it quite a bit harder
summer hornet
Ooh, so you have to balance survival and DPS
Because there is kind of a limited amount of supports for AOE looping
old galleon
that and some of the waves even stagger
so like they'll start with 3 enemies and add a few per, with a cap of 6 on the field at a time
the rider wave in particular has a nasty gimmick where some of them have multiple guts stacks so if youw ant to max kill, you need to bring shit that can do dots
but there are three waves (not counting bathwater lady) that are single target, so those can be easily one turned
good news for us is that aqua marie wont' drop until sometime after id
so there's still a lot of time
summer hornet
Oh yeah that's a solid 6+ months away
I'll set that to the side and focus on other stuff for now
old galleon
ye, you finished flare marie so gauntlet stuff isn't a huge priority
but i'm not surprised you had enough options
you've been playing for like 7 years now, you would have stacked up a lot of servants and ces for it (even ones that didn't seem immediately useful)
summer hornet
Pretty much, yeah
There was a random gacha ce that gave 60% np damage if used by a berserker
summer hornet
BB Summer is immune to burn lol
old galleon
you're not wrong but the burn doesn't matter if you kill them fast enough : ^)
summer hornet
Also true XD
old galleon
i'm gonna go screenshot the ces i used; the team screens i posted were from the end of the fight
will be a few mins
summer hornet
Honestly I just didn't think of her first- and I really needed her on wave 4 in the end; my first attempt used Tametomo and Zhang Jue instead of Merlin and Arc
old galleon
understandable
i know you didn't go for min turns but that dumbass saber wave really benefits from one turning it
if you were gonna try to min turn anything, it should be that one
summer hornet
Yeah, in retrospect I could've shifted Oberon to that wave instead
But Arc's defense down plus NP2 damage was enough to get me a 2-turn kill anyways
old galleon
ye, as long as it worked
there's what i used with the ces this time
in wave 4, pretender elly is probably better than helena if the batteries and whatnot work out but i managed
notable gacha servant np levels
wave 2: aesc is np2 and gil is np3
wave 3: scathach is np3
wave 4: ishtar is np3 and tlaloc is np5
wave 5: eresh is np5
wave 6: carmilla is np5
wave 7: siegfried is np2
wave 9: kuku and enkidu are both np2
wave 10: kama is np4
summer hornet
Ofc you used Habetrot lol; that do be a double caster node on wave 1
old galleon
anything i didn't mention is either a welfare, np1, or didn't use their np at all
or okki who is np2 but would be just as fine at np1 here
summer hornet
wave 5: eresh is np5
I keep forgetting you have that
old galleon
yeah that's why i brought an aoe servant to a one enemy fight : ^)
wanted to see if she could pull it off with anti-trait and she did
so i'm satisfied
old galleon
Ofc you used Habetrot lol; that do be a double caster node on wave 1
and ye, habetrot is good here
chunks the two casters quite well
would have been even better with a higher np drake but mine's only np1 so the damage was a tad sketchy
the original goal was to use s ibuki there too but
np1 wasn't enough to kill the avenger
but since drake and habetrot combined dealt with the casters i just put s jalter there instead

I don't see how Black Swan improves the DoT team.
Maybe I just don't have her but who does she replace?
summer hornet
She's moreso extra damage
She has a strong DoT (and defense down), but that's about it
glossy latch
I don't see how Black Swan improves the DoT team.
You run triple DoT
Plus she applies DEF down which means you can use tutorial mission on Kafka to get more detonates
You can use a regular support but its usually a little weaker and it uses up ... well a support
Whereas BS has no other team youd want to use her in
Usually youll just run Hysilens/Kafka/Black Swan/Gallagher
runic ether
huohuo is miles and away the better sustain for dot especially triple
also bs nowdays only pulls ahead if she is e1
robin/tribbie are just much stronger than what she provides
glossy latch
Huohuo suffers from also using SP
So youve got 4 SP consumers at that point lmao
3.5 I suppose
glossy latch
also bs nowdays only pulls ahead if she is e1
Really? Last I saw the general consensus was that Robin only pulls ahead at E1
runic ether
robin pulls even iirc at e0 but the added turn to kafka and hysilens will often pull ahead
bs is not bad but shes at best horizontal investment into dot nowdays and any amount of eidolons/lightcones on the supports will push black swan down hard
glossy latch
It depends on how many supports you have I suppose, because BS frees you up from using any other support
But I wouldnt pull for her that if you dont already have 2 supports anyway
runic ether
yeah the logic is also that u would rather pull a support > bs anyways
rigid pilot
I see. I already feel like I have supports to spare. Tribbie, Sunday, Bronya, Ruan Mei. I probably don't go for Black Swan unless she's added to the shop lol.

We can still not mute Robins song, can we?

apparently they alluded to sanby buffs a la ellen
which is notable and probably why she's not rerunning yet if so
but it wasn't explicitly stated, just some phrasing that's very reminiscent of when they said a buff to ellen was planned

also i hate those specials missions that want u to run specific races
that no character has so u u have specifically find a character that doesnt happen to have that race fall on his goal race day on top so u dont accidently just spent 30 tp for nothing
would be neat if they could maybe point u towards a character that would be suited for the missions

these polls are always popularity-based anyway so HSR prolly gonna win

the bar is pretty low given lots of collabs are phoned in but they cooked big time for stellar blade (surprise since it's their IP)

what I'm wondering is
Is Manato the S for 2.3 part II
or is he an A that releases with Lucia so you have someone she can support if you don't have Yixuan
rapid bough
i feel like i'd use trigger in exactly one spot (mono-electric comp) which i don't even really have complete? i guess yuzu/yanagi/trigger would work
then again i'd use alice in exactly one spot (physical weak) so
THEN AGAIN if they're buffing sanby then trigger is probably just always gonna be her BIS stunner
so trigger may scale better in the future

pretty easy round of DA overall though
typhon is legitimately such free real estate

summer hornet
wispy goblet
apparently he was kicking my ass less than expected
here's my mostly-baseless prediction
Lucia's buffs will revolve around some form of defense reduction, be it PEN or DEF shred
her unique gimmick will be that she allows Rupture agents to benefit from those buffs, basically causing the enemies to have negative defense in the damage formula
but her all-purpose defense reduction mechanics will still be useful for other DPS of all kinds

it will be very funny if she just gives a phat stack of Sheer Force and nothing else

that's part of why I'm predicting def reduction buffs
also people predicting the ||2.3 second half agent is Yidhara, mentioned in Lucia's drip||
rapid bough
all units in the same faction don't necessarily need to have synergy with each other
zhu yuan and qingyi have basically no synergy with jane or seth for instance
spook shack could easily be the same
yuzu and alice have synergy, komano and lucia have synergy, very limited overlap
wispy goblet
zhu yuan and qingyi have basically no synergy with jane or seth for instance
clearly you've never played Zhu Yuan-Jane-Ju Fufu
(it is not a good team)
rapid bough
wouldn't be the first time a unit in a faction just works best with units outside that faction
lighter's prolly the best example of that
honestly feels like they haven't really focused on faction synergy, their real focus is that the two new banners in a patch are almost always complementary
and those banners have almost always been the same faction, but ofc not the entire faction
so it's pretty to easy to end up with two halves of a faction that have synergy among each half but not with the other half
astral drift
It's time
rapid bough
honestly feels like they haven't really focused on faction synergy, their real f...
looking at the banner history, yeah this has been the trend since 1.5
1.0 - ellen and zhu yuan (different factions, no synergy)
1.1 - qingyi and jane (same faction, no synergy, but qingyi is meant for zhu yuan from the previous patch)
1.2 - caesar and burnice (same faction, limited synergy but caesar is generically good)
1.3 - yanagi and lighter (different factions, no synergy)
1.4 - miyabi and harumasa (same faction, no synergy, but yanagi and lighter from the previous patch work very well with miyabi)
from here on out it's all double faction, and almost always full synergy with one exception
1.5 - astra and eve
1.6 - sanby and trigger
1.7 - vivian and hugo (the exception, same faction but no synergy)
2.0 - yixuan and ju fufu
2.1 - yuzu and alice
and it's worth noting that faction synergy in a lot of cases is only limited to a small subset of characters (zhu yuan+qingyi and jane+seth for instance, harumasa left out to dry in HSO6, sons of calydon are a mess and operate as generic boosts for other squads and not really themselves, etc)

||Ult does damage and has a healing field||
||immensely targeted buffs for Yixuan||

but her EX special gives a big "penetration" buff
idk if that's flat pen, or if it's the chinese word for sheer force
i assume the latter
wispy goblet
According to the site a guy I'm watching stream is using
they think it's sheer force
Max HP buffs are interesting
I wonder if all Ruptures are going to be designed to scale off Max HP

It's in her core passive

runic ether
hp buffer before genshin is crazy
rapid bough
it's a 5% buff which doesn't seem particularly significant
but i guess it's there so yay?
runic ether
honestly feels like shes kind of weak tbh
wispy goblet
She has way less generic applicability compared to Astra or Yuzuha
rapid bough
i feel like this kit's focus on aftershocks and scaling her own damage with her health might be setting her up to be a high damage support on top of the rupture buffs
but idk
runic ether
oh i was expecting the manato crashout but i was not expecting the nun lucia fans to also be joining in the chorus
wispy goblet
runic ether
aftershock may be an... afterthought
rapid bough
seems like that'll be a must-get wengine
rapid bough
i mean i think basically every agent that isn't a main on-fielder is just gonna have aftershock in their kits now
runic ether
probably
rapid bough
might not be super impactful but it's a good system and the devs have said they want you to feel like you're actually using a squad
wispy goblet
looks like Yidhari has pay health and self-healing mechanics
rapid bough
lucia's m1 adds a 15% sheer damage buff, m2 is another 10% max HP buff
runic ether
at least this means i can safely save till lucia to get manato and mindscapes on him
wispy goblet
Also she has an alternative way to cash out at max decibels
Doesn't look like she can double ult like Yixuan
runic ether
that doesnt read octopi to me at all
yeah super not feeling yidhari
shame
cus i work with an octopi almost daily and i love them
i can overlook ice if the kit seems fitting/unique hopefully the anims would save her? hard skip for me
at least atm
wispy goblet
Manato is Soldier 11
This is a joke, but only because it has truth to it
His kit appears to be
hit them with basic attacks
and you can also hit them with special attacks and ult
runic ether
his kit is incomplete tbh we'll see if he has more
his core passive def needs a rework tho
cant even use lucia with him alone would need to slot in a fire or rupture which makes him awk

mortal iron
funny enough they got another nomination elsewhere
What they hey is the dark legion
rapid bough
so i'm thinking lucia is autopull and it's likely her wengine will be one without a good f2p alternative so it's worth getting too
she's more niche than astra/yuzu since she's obviously targeted toward rupture agents
but the fact she's that niche means she's likely to not be powercrept any time soon too lol
so now i'm sitting here trying to plan my pulls
i'm really struggling with whether i want to actually pull trigger because i'm not sure where i'd actually use her, she'd be ok in mono-shock but i feel like mono-shock is suboptimal to begin with since yanagi is better in disorder teams anyway
i've honestly half a mind to pull for seed because she apparently enables a bunch of 2 attacker comps which is interesting
wispy goblet
Yeah that's Seed's big gimmick
She buffs her partner attacker on EX, and has a mechanic through which attackers buff her when they use EX
And if both buffs are active, both characters get a second buff on top
So you want to run double attack and switch between them
She's clearly designed to achieve max value with Orphie's Aftershock EX Special mechanics
But there may be interesting alternatives
rapid bough
"and they were roommates"
wispy goblet
I may end up skipping Seed
The Attackers I have/want are Zhu Yuan, Evelyn, and Harumasa
Zhu Yuan and Evelyn's damage is explicitly tied to the stun window
And I'm not sure how good the Seed-Haru combo is
rapid bough
yeah i'm having a rough time placing most current or upcoming characters in a team that would be a noticeable improvement over an existing one i have
alice - would go to mono-phys, but only becomes a strict upgrade over jane/yuzu/vivi with dupes
trigger - would go to mono-electric and any future team with sanby, but TBD on how good those even are relative to disorder options and pre-sanby buffs
seed - enables 2 attacker comps, but my main attacker right now is eve who already has her BIS team
orphie - would be for seed but i don't really want her
lucia is the only upcoming character who's a clear and immediate improvement over what i already have (replacing pan in yixuan's team)
and along the way i want eve's wengine
but deciding between alice, seed, or trigger+wengine is giving me a big hmmmmst
interesting change to lucia's wengine, gets energy regen but the RES shred was nearly halved
wispy goblet
I'm thinking about potential Orphie teams
She's less demanding
Just needs a support or stunner for her bonus passive
And an onfielder for her to support
Trigger would slot into my Zhu Yuan-Nicole pair
Keeps Ju Fufu 100% free for Yixuan
Or maybe I could do it the other way around too
rapid bough
trigger for zhu/nicole and fufu for yixuan is definitely a better distribution
trigger doesn't get her bonus ability in yixuan's team so her daze buildup suffers a fair bit
and if you get her sig, it has no benefit for yixuan since DEF shred is useless for rupture
anyway i think i talked myself into trigger (that's what i was planning anyway but i've been struggling with it ever since alice released)
she may not be an immediate benefit, but i'm assuming i will want to pull for sanby the next time she reruns (presumably with buffs)
and trigger will 100% slot into sanby's team, which would be a brand new team i want access to
so trigger+wengine is the best future investment for me i think
kind of awkward since seed/orphie also work really well with sanby but idt they're as necessary as trigger
digital marlin
i have no clue who i would put Trigger with in my case but im still pulling regardless. dont think i will pull for SAnby so chances are i would probably have to wait for a new character i like to pull for them
rapid bough
yeah trigger was always top of my list as a waifu pull anyway
though i ended up really liking alice so passing up on her kinda hurts

Speaking of

The only part that could be interesting about Yidarha, the tails, feel tacked on

she's really out there looking like a mage/ethereal summoner
