@timber sigil should we turn off applications for the platoon? idk if it's just that the gfl2 playerbase has leveled out/dropped so there aren't a whole lot of new platoon members or because they just flock to no-app platoons--probably a combo of the two--but we kinda aren't getting any new members
granted we clear gunsmoke with our current folks, but only barely. like "last day clear" situation lol
on that note as well, pretty sure springfield is set to rerun alongside jiangyu based on the trend of dolls getting a first rerun 3 patches after their release
strongly considering going for v6
both because she is my wife and because we don't have one for the platoon yet
i have about 620 pulls saved and i'm prepared to go all-in for 5 dupes
and ofc i'll have more pulls by the time she reruns, still got like 12 days (so all the resets between now and then) and all the minigame/story rewards to claim
probably gonna have another 50 or so pulls by her banner

snowbreak apparently bringing back EN voiceover for its upcoming patch
now i'm big curious
i'm getting sucked into the void again
runic ether
do i have a fell for it again award somewhere
rapid bough
i wanna at least hear the voices, a good EN voiceover adds a lot to my enjoyment of a game
snowbreak has an interesting history on this front
slow raft
rapid bough
it launched with an EN voiceover that i'll generously describe as mid
back before it went full goon
when the game started failing and changed course to be ML super fanservice, the EN and KR VAs were a mix of fired and quit because they didn't sign up to VA a goon game
but the change in direction has saved the game and now it's doing quite well, so i guess they felt comfortable spending the money to bring in other language VAs again

timber sigil
<@202677609094578177> should we turn off applications for the platoon? idk if it...
Yeah I reckon that's probably for the best for apps to be disabled
I'm gonna be out for the entire day so if you're able to do it the go ahead
As for me next banner I'm gonna be trying to v6 Jiangyu

okay true

Thinking about it, whats the weakest waw?
Its gotta be crown or one of the king in binds, right?
runic ether
automatically disqualifies everlasting and crushbound
i think its gotta be binds
one of the two
i think... outis reads weaker to me?
slow raft
Everlasting, crushbound, mircalla, blind obsession, sunshower are all good
And totb is goated also

both tears are great yeah
indicant's trial is kind of okay
sanguine desire is also okay

blind obsession has never failed to hit like a truck with that weight

my second celestial weapon finished (for now, pending 5* uncaps going live) after the sword
slow raft
Ok floor and basically the same ceiling
Hes decently consistent but his skill 1 sucks and he has no safeguards to stop him from corroding
slow raft
runic ether
isnt spiral of contempt kind of related to the one who grips?
slow raft
Nah not at all
Tho i think ill have to comission an artist to draw kromer in spiral of contempt gear now
runic ether
only reason i figured tho is bc of spiral of contempt's skill names
and also maybe its why they had access to the abnormality in n corp
to extract its gear
slow raft
If there is a relation, it wasnt mentioned in game yet
runic ether
contempt ryoshu mentions the director. he told something to the computer obsessed to get her on board with something.
which btw casual lore drop. hermann gregor id when
slow raft
Possibly the abno kromer saw when she went with sinclair but its more likely that its nothing there
slow raft
The name and appearance kinda give it away lol
You know what nothing theres ego gift looks like
runic ether
its the sword? or is that different
slow raft
I meant ego gear but yeah the sword is what you know
runic ether
i only know the sword and the abno itself and its sound effects
runic ether
hmm i was gonna say it also had the armor but i remembered that gebura said thats her ego
pastel bear
mmm gebura ego
pastel bear
shame that she's kinda become the defacto meme character next to roland because both are two of my favorite characters in the franchise
runic ether
she is just cool
slow raft
Fortunately my favourite characters shall never be mischaracterized by the community because i like outis and binah
runic ether
pastel bear
I like geb/kali and binah because of how they happen to be some of the strongest people in The City but are also the chillest
slow raft
Honestly tho, i dont know if i could even decide on my most liked characters, aside from binah being the number 1. Theres just way to many to choose from
runic ether
agreed
heathcliff is still my goat but theres a lot of competition especially adding ruina
i actually really like chesed
pastel bear
while geb hasn't convinced me to start smoking I have started to drink black tea
slow raft
I like geb/kali and binah because of how they happen to be some of the strongest...
Gebura after being ragebaited by chesed or binah for 5 seconds:

well geb less so but ||idk there's something about kali's backstory and her never taking a job for herself that was really sweet||

also speaking of dead partners... ||roland healthcliff id when||

I think Project Moon needs to do the sensible thing and partner up with ArcSys for a PM fighting game
runic ether
Clearly that id is for outis <:nyaruhodo:873056991973634078>
when the yuri is doomed...
pastel bear
I think dragon installing as binah would be cool
pastel bear
binah would be the high-damage bullshit fucking top tier that never gets nerfed
runic ether
arcsys fighting game would be insane
runic ether
okay but faust should get a binah id. if theres a sinner that i feel would easily mirror her rage baiting it'd be faust
pastel bear
kim really likes board games and he had the PM team play a bunch of old tabletops while they were working on Ruina so I have full faith that Kim would not settle for the fighting game being anything less than BBCF
runic ether
also faust with black hair please...
slow raft
Outis is the most arbiter coded i fear
pastel bear
guy I have a reach for outis
runic ether
ur right... but she doesnt has the same aura/feel as binah
plus i feel the sinners are still a bit far off from the higher tiers
pastel bear
it's the most obvious Gregor ID but (lategame ruina spoilers) ||what if we got Baral Outis||
runic ether
is that late late game or if im (halfway?) through star of the city i can click

God I really need a better stunner for Harumasa
And by that I mean specifically Qingyi

getting trigger wouldnt be too bad if u can get her wengine too for haru
its just a very different team ultimately and haru having more field time can make woodpecker overtake other options

played through seed's agent story
got me crying in the club
but more importantly
seed is actually super fun to play and this is problematic for my pull plans

seed is actually super fun to play and this is problematic for my pull plans

idk man i just don't think i can afford her
i still need eve's wengine next half, and then lucia next patch
and god help me if sanby actually does rerun next patch too
which i still think is unlikely since we haven't seen shit about any buffs in the beta
but who knows

seed is actually super fun to play and this is problematic for my pull plans
I have the same issue

i do still kinda need a third member for sanby team for when astra is being used elsewhere

at least I was able to pull together some old Hormone Punk and Woodpecker discs
so I (hopefully) don't have to invest too many resources into disking up Evelyn
rapid bough
i am momentarily resisting the urge to pull for seed but we'll see how that lasts
one thing that's frustrating is that yes she was fun, but she was fun in team comps i can't currently field lol
with sanby and orphie
rapid bough
the more i read, the more i think i'll stick with my script of saving for eve wengine and then lucia next patch, then sanby rerun whenever she comes
orphie currently looks to be seed's best teammate by far and i won't be getting her
after that, sanby and eve work well but eve is locked to another comp and i don't have sanby, and even when i do she still works in sanby/trigger/astra
so seed sorta wouldn't fit anywhere for a while unless i pull orphie which... i won't be doing
prolly just gonna wait for a rerun
wispy goblet
did the calcs
Seed W-Engine is worse than Brimstone for my current disc set
the pressure to pull for it has drastically dropped
rapid bough
i'm quite sure even if it were better it would've only been marginally so
wispy goblet
actually Zhu's own Sig is worse than Brim for my current disk set too
...lamo?
rapid bough
zhu sig is a casualty of early design when sig wengines weren't broken
they've learned their lesson now and make every damage agent's sig like 20-30% better than any other option
thankfully supports so far still have very viable f2p options
lucia's wengine was looking to break that trend but changes on beta have revived the dream that she won't be railroaded into needing her sig either
wispy goblet
I wonder if you just craft Transmorpher for her for the %HP mainstat
rapid bough
more likely you use an ER% wengine and then an HP% disk 6
maybe one day i'll get fucking kaboom but until then i guess i'll be a game ball gamer

likke i coud do ratio topaz aven moze
but meh
i wanted to try out the newer characters
dull bridge
wait lol u have aglaea and u like evernight
would that work
so i just pull evernight?
runic ether
you'd only really be missing hyacine
runic ether
but u can pull evernight for aglaea if thats the case
dull bridge
isnt the hyacnie a sustain or whatever
i havent gotten to use fu xuazn in so long
i pulled for her but she just feels bad now
runic ether
hyacine is like lingsha in that she both does a ton of damage and heals a lot

tbf i still havent unlocked rmc
runic ether
so quadruple memosprites
dull bridge
am going throuhg story rn
so i havent played with the new shit at all
but we will see
runic ether
like the only reason evernight isnt amazing is bc tribbie is just that fucking goated
but if u dont have tribbie, she isnt bad
dull bridge
ok
its new characters anyways
so we will get alega rn up high
is fu xuan fine for now
or is like a healer better
lynx or smt
runic ether
healer
dull bridge
ok
runic ether
evernight drains hp

and while the others can heal their memosprites u dont wanna be skill spamming if possible

did you already use your free character?

did you already use your free character?

we got a free 5 star selector

this was before u could use on rm and luiocha?

You could use it on them from the start

wait a sec
dull bridge
wow
i just didnt
like be smart
i just picked himeko
lmao
im stupid
wait no i didnt use it
so luocha?
runic ether
if you arent gonna use ruan mei, because evernight kinda fills her role for the team you'd run
and acheron and jingliu dont use her well
dull bridge
if you arent gonna use ruan mei, because evernight kinda fills her role for the ...
is lynx that much worse then luocha?
runic ether
gallagher is the best but luocha has a particular niche still and pulls ahead at times

welp time to see if i can build 3 characters
or is it 4

Crit rate doesnt exist on false sovereign
i just used modifers at this point
glossy latch
I hate farming this boss he never gives me crit rate
I also did
I didnt get any good enough echoes
glossy latch
8 or so?
digital marlin
oh
glossy latch
Right now Im using an echo that doesnt have a crit damage roll just because its crit rate roll is maxed out and it has ATK% and ER%
Thats the best I got so far
I got one now that has a shot if the last two rolls are good (they probably arent)
Im like
At 80% CR and 210% CD before the echo set
Which is a little low
glossy latch
Yeah but its with really good other 4 echoes
Granted I think Id be happy losing a couple % crit rate for a CD roll
Lemme check what my attack is at
glossy latch
But yeah fingers crossed I get a good 4-cost echo finally so I can fully devote myself to pre-farming Galbrena
digital marlin
dont be me and run out of tuners
glossy latch
And hope I get her early enough so I can also get Qiu Yuan since hes apparently her BiS (and seems neat)
Oh I did
But I then crafted my 4-cost tuners into 5-cost tuners
Err 4-star
IF you havent, check those
digital marlin
i did already
glossy latch
That can be like several hundred tuners
RIP
But yeah my main issue is that my Augusta has worse stats than my Xiangli Yao lmao (even if he probably has worse damage still)
Lemme check his stats actually
89 over 254
... granted thats with his signature
So maybe that makes up for it, idk
Whatever, Ive got Augusta at least built, Ill try to perfect echo 4, and then Ill focus on getting Galbrena and Qiu Yuan
I am also very tempted to just do 1 single pull on Iunos banner and hope I randomly get ultra-lucky
glossy latch
Hey its only 1 pull
I gotta get Galbrena and her BiS support 😔
Unfortunately Qiu Yuan isnt only her best teammate

Tried to get lauma
Got dilucd
And here I thought maybe a 2nd dendro character for my roster would be nice
wispy goblet
building pity is stupid
w-engine doesn't even benefit Rupture agents
just use her with ur Ruptures
wispy goblet
sounds like the SAnby buffs have hit the beta servers
the faucets are leaking
little more blood in the water with the ||Vivian and SAnby|| 2.3 rerun predictions
EDIT: Less blood in the water about ||Vivian rerun; swimsuit gone||
also also
HP deflation for DA bosses in the leaks
runic ether
chain and ult being aftershock is quite nice
wispy goblet
also you get use out of a mark even if the guy dies before you trigger it

so sanby in 2.3 as well... guess i really can't pull for seed now
looks like a fair bit of QoL for sanby which is good, and the ult/chain aftershock + squad aftershock charging her mark will def help her damage. the white thunder execute is new too and seems good, kinda hard to tell just from the description what's up there tho
she didn't need absolutely massive buffs to be relevant so these seem like they're down the right track
i'm conflicted about the lucia changes
more QAs good, and the change to her sheer force buff is good since it maxes out at 22k instead of 24k HP now, which you can get much closer to without sig (24k was impossible without sig, 22k i think is theoretically possible with perfect disk rolls but you can get damn close without that)
however, the buff to her sig's ER and specifically the 12% combat HP for her party seem huge
feel like those are gonna push her into "must get sig" territory in a way that previous supports really haven't been
wispy goblet
ye they're pushing me to pull for her sig
although
If you use an ER W-Engine you can run HP 456 instead
less demanding than finding another ER 6

@runic ether sorry for ping but i hvae a genshin question, i know main story is ez but can my rly poorly oldly build eula clear whatever happened after fontaine? i would love to just play genshin for a bit and only catch up with story as i heard new area is coming that is good for story
like idk wtf i was doing but this is my eula
runic ether
things it seems
dull bridge
bad things 😭
i wanna play genshin but it requires so muhc effort
and i cant play too many games
gotta focus on college
runic ether
then dont
dull bridge
but i do wanna play thru story
so she should clear it?
i have fischl rosaria benny mika for sup for her
rapid bough
If you use an ER W-Engine you can run HP 456 instead
less demanding than finding another ER 6
yeah i mentioned this the other day
my worry is that they buffed the ER on her sig and added the party-wide +12% HP which is massive for rupture agents
on top of already having the +20% damage which is basically equal to or better than any f2p option you'd be running (e.g. kaboom)
so her sig has:
- equal or better ER than f2p options
- equal or better damage boost than f2p options
- HP% main stat which frees up disk 6 options
- +12% squad HP which is a sizeable boost to damage for both rupture agents and lucia herself (since iirc her main damage source scales off HP too)
oh and it's an S rank wengine compared to the best f2p being A rank, so like 60 more base ATK
this will pretty clearly be a "wait for calcs" situation but i wouldn't be surprised if this is the first (non-standard) support sig wengine we get that's a 20-30% boost over f2p options
the 12% squad HP buff is kinda cracked tbh
like my yixuan has 18k HP
12% extra is 2160 HP which is 216 sheer force lol
runic ether
so she should clear it?
idk if she actually can
glossy latch
Well its not perfect, but I got to 73 over 230 on Augusta @digital marlin
100 less ATK tho
summer hornet
Once again, an MOC version of a story boss has proven 10 times tougher than the original
Also tried it with Saber; it went even worse than Archer and Phainon
The corrupted axe enemy that retaliates when you kill its allies does a fixed amount of damage, I’ve discovered- it’s moderate damage against a normal team, but almost oneshots Phainon in his ultimate form
slow raft
i dont even know this guy lol
good thing i dont do memory of chaos
summer hornet
Oh mb lmao; I’ll spoiler it
slow raft
dwai i dont care about spoilers
im just saying that i gavent done his mechanics in the "easy version" so i wouldnt know how do do them in hard mode
summer hornet
His mechanics were honestly easy af in the story; easier than Nikador and SAM
I originally just ignored them to one shot with Archer
dull bridge
nikador is from that new place im just getting to
i havent had any issues with story tbf
wait thats wrong
aven pre nerf
😭
summer hornet
dull bridge
that shit actually traumatized me
summer hornet
Ah, good times
dull bridge
did u fight him pre or post nerf
slow raft
pre
summer hornet
perhaps the least fun boss in hsr so far
That would go to Feixiao, for me
digital marlin
His mechanics just suck
slow raft
very one note bossfight
dull bridge
That would go to Feixiao, for me
uhm actually that would go to the devestator beast
that u fight on the space station
🤓
slow raft
nah that ones fine
summer hornet
The way corrupted Feixiao/shadow Feixiao forces you into Break battles by design is Not Fun
dull bridge
ngl coolia was so fucking fire
that fight was ngl better then some of the more recent bosses
summer hornet
The star destroyer Doomsday Beast is hilariously outclassed by every post-2.0 DPS, it’s amazing
dull bridge
oh actuallt my most favorite boss in recent times ngl was ||sunday|| i was most invested in story after burnt out from 1.0 and coming back and it was just a really good bossfight with good music and good vibes
digital marlin
Not sure what I would consider my favorite it feels like most boss fights tend to either not be impactful enough to me gameplay wise or have some mechanic I don't vibe with
summer hornet
I’d give it to Sunday or Cocolia too tbh
3.3 was great but by that point my roster was so developed that the story version wasn’t really a challenge anymore
Nikador was just kinda frustrating, same with Feixiao
SAM was a neat idea but so so in execution
glossy latch
Obviously Hoolay is the best boss

everything after that i had a competetnt team

its even better in genshin bc i just need to make sure i get the substats right
then the game now lets u guarantee the rolls u want into them

Ok this MoC is actually tough wtf
glossy latch
Yeah I was trying THerta as well
But I dont have Tribbie and he needs to be defeated ASAP
So he kept oneshotting my team with his phase change
I'm gonna try an alternate team
rigid pilot
It would have gone faster with Anaxa which I'm getting this coming patch
rigid pilot
So he kept oneshotting my team with his phase change
Oh Hyacine trivializes this
She just face tanks the phase change and the ult drain.
glossy latch
I dont have Hyacine 😔
glossy latch
I had to skip for ... someone?
Phainon I think
Right now Im gonna try a team with Jade and Lingsha over Anaxa
Just to spam Hertas ult as much as possible
And if that doesnt work out, eh
Its like 80 jades
slow raft
I had to skip for ... someone?
i think hyacine mightve been before anaxa
rigid pilot
Hyacine was after Anaxa. She was with Cipher.
glossy latch
Ye
I think right before Phainon
But yeah I guess Ill see
Yeah I just lack the damage without Tribbie
E1 RM just doesnt make up for it
Yeah no I dont think I can beat him as is
Ill do a quick Phainon try and see if archer can do it, then Ill just call it for now
old galleon
Well then
so of my m3 fire weapons, i now am very nearly done with both of the axes i need
just need one more axe drop
meanwhile i've gotten one exalto staff lifetime
so total drops needed are
1 axe, 5 sword, 11 staff
fuck me
for perspective, drops needed before starting were
8 axe, 8 sword, 12 staff
glossy latch
Ok so DoT second half also doesnt work great because of that damn axe unit
summer hornet
So he kept oneshotting my team with his phase change
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING

Oh Hyacine trivializes this

does lygus have any bullshit mechanic in the moc or something
runic ether
no its just the fight + the moc buffs you get
also of course, the moc scaling
so hes actually significantly more powerful than the story version
copper steppe
well i guess its bullshit depending on who you ask
runic ether
Oh that reminds me
this entire part of the story was one of my favorite sequences in canto 4
||shows how heath began caring about the rest in his own way when they took the explosion and he asked to get don restored first||

It’s been great, even if I am losing track of factions again. I didn’t think Yi Sang could have that many hidden depths, and I’m pleasantly surprised to be wrong

True and real
||in this house we stan heathcliff||

He got done so dirty in 3.5, but on the other hand he has been notably more open since then lol
runic ether
i went into the game liking heathcliff and faust the most but each and every canto and intervallo has made me like each sinner a significant amount more than before
despite it all, heathcliff remains my favorite sinner
glossy latch
<:fistcurl:496545736901656588>
I kinda hate how you need specific units for MoC sometimes
summer hornet
In a weird way, I feel like Cerydra being an extension of Phainon has made them raise the bar for the amount of Phainon investment necessary to clear
I still got through floor 11 with e0s1, but. I dunno

Probably heathcliff and meursault for me

dull bridge
memory's curtain never falls on aglaea (herta shop lc), victory in a blink on rm...
oh i can do the herta one
i have a shitton of saved herta stuff i rarely use
runic ether
the awkward part is that while aglaea appreciates the speed from it, the increased damage is kind of useless for the team
unless you are using hyacine/tribbie though in this case it'd be evernight/rmc/hyacine
dull bridge
which relics
since im on more remembrnace
do i do thje arcadia?
i qwould love to be able to farm for a set and hopefuly use for 2/4 characters Ineed
i should have speed stuff left over for whoever needs speed
and i hvae stuff for luocha
runic ether
hero of triumphant song is her best set and its not particularly close
and same for bananamusement park
best orb
not close
dull bridge
ok
runic ether
idk why prydwen makes it seem closer? ig rutilant in theory can be solid
same with glamoth
dull bridge
ok
runic ether
but its too much worse
dull bridge
so i can put my speed shit on rmc?
runic ether
also aglaea will want a lot of speed too
dull bridge
and then for luocha i see theres a new fucking set 😭
runic ether
especially without sunday
luocha will also go spd/spd/spd in that team?
i think u can get away with both heal sets
runic ether
its the best in slot for all healers yeah
though passerby is fine
i'd use passerby if you have it until you can get warrior goddess
dull bridge
i have 2 peice speed with 2 piece disciple and spd boots
on my lynx
can i just give him that for now
i know he scales off atk
runic ether
yeah you'll want to grind out a set of warrior goddess if that's all you have
its notable too that you should use quid pro quo on him
at least for this team
and if possible, 2pc speed on all possible slots for luocha will pull ahead for him
because of quid pro quo
runic ether
if you can get to 170+ that'd be best
dull bridge
170 jeep
runic ether
164 is a good stop point

if you end up with solid-good warrior goddess 4pc
go for that
even if he ends at like 150~

this team will be very dedicated to speed

rmc will want as much as possible

but ill start working on it
