<@219319817688186891> supposedly were getting Lynnae rerun next patch
does wuwa seriously do reruns that fast?
rapid bough
guess they want to shill tune break as the new mechanic as much as possible but sheesh
either way, i'm simultaneously happy since i want her and dreading what these next few patches are going to do to my pulls
i'm gonna have to full clear the whole game's permanent content to get enough pulls to fund lynae, cyberpunk collab, then lucilla lol
digital marlin
As long as you dont lose the 50/50 it shouldn't be too bad
rapid bough
i've been very lucky so far so naturally i worry that my luck will run out
digital marlin
Your really going to need multiples team for endgame content which is going to be a pain
rapid bough
the biggest barrier between me and fielding multiple teams is just not having enough materials to invest in all of them, and not enough waveplates to make up the difference lol
it's hard leveling no fewer than 3 characters at once and, for a while, more like 6
this does remind me that i should try to get as far as i can in ToA before reset
obviously no way i full clear it (especially middle tower) but no reason to not claim as many rewards as i can
digital marlin
Its a slow burn process sadly
rapid bough
well it's not perfect since i assume you really want both crit lines for galbrena, but beggars can't be choosers this early on before i can focus farm echoes so i will be laughing straight to the bank with the best echo i've gotten yet
wish i'd realized sooner that i should've been farming her daily nightmare nest
is there any reason to not just clear every nightmare nest daily (besides time investment)? at worst you get a bunch of free discard/upgrade fodder
digital marlin
Very annoyingly most of those sets are specialized to one or two characters so after you get their sets good chance you wont need any more
rapid bough
right, that's why i say at worst they're still discard/upgrade fodder
guess i should use my weekly targeted merges too
digital marlin
I normally get enough echos from.the regular tacet fields plus normal traveling to constantly put my self at full storage and outside of merging which tbh is too rng dependant I really wouldn't unless you have a character you k ow needs the sets
It just ends up making dailies much more of a slog than it needs to be
rapid bough

i know there's still a bunch of time but it's looking like i'll have to mileage takina
but that's fine, i got chisato quickly and painlessly so it's about what i expected
rapid bough
how much mileage do you have total
old galleon
almost 400
rapid bough
damn i expected more but i guess you spent a fair bit on c7 rapi as well as all your pulls huh
old galleon
it's at like 360 or something like that right now, and considering i dont' usually roll regular banners i think i'll be fine for half anni
i got snow with regular pulls so i think i only needed 600 mileage for c7 rapi, instead of having to divert it to snow
remember, i got a ton of rapi spooks over the year after i mlb'd her
so she was c4 going in
old galleon
rip
hell, one of the spooks came after i returned from my hiatus
(that one ended up being significant for above-stated reasons)
but anyway, i'm alright on mileage
and i don't want to be that guy who separated the two of them
rapid bough
also always worth remembering that whatever your pull count is now, and even whatever it'll be by anni, you can add like +100 to it since anni itself hands out pulls like candy lol

IRL friend convinced me to go all in for AGE-2
I have no gems left for anniversary, but I’ve got AGE-2
As long as they don’t reveal 00 season 2 for a while I should be fine lol
I’ve gotten Calibarn, AGE-2 Double Bullet (or at least functionally the same thing), Build Strike, and Full/True Awakened Unicorn (or Green Unicorn, that works too)
Only 00 or Build Fighters could convince me to roll again at this point
toxic cloud
Yoo age is crazy
summer hornet
I have OPINIONS about AGE lol
AGE arc 1 (Flit) is painful
AGE arc 3 (Kio) undid the good will arc 2 generated for me (Zeheart's character derailing has caused me almost physical pain)
But the Asemu-Zeheart-Romary dynamic was captivating
Zeheart foils Asemu so well, and treaded this really fine line
....until they had him bend over backwards and ignore the truth in front of his face and preexisting convictions for a final battle
a very cool final battle but
an unnecessary one
but that's why I wanted AGE-2 Double Bullet
And why I ended up getting the Memory of Eden ver. Gundam Legilis (Gunpla-wise)

Oh you can actually just swap weapons around if they aren't being used in the same team
rapid bough
wait really? it's not like shiyu in ZZZ where once you use a weapon elsewhere it's locked in for that char and can't be used on a different one?
rapid bough
holy based
though given my limited teams, not being able to swap in whiwa is just as annoying
since i'll almost certainly be running mornye/lynae/aemeath and mortefi/lupa/galbrena or smth

Its only in WhiWa and Matrix you cant swap around iirc
thanks i remember in Tower you can do it but then i remember there was somewhere else i couldnt do it but was drawing up a blank

finally did the ZZZ main story (still not the event yet)
yeah that was a good story chapter
||i wasn't super invested in the AoD stuff--it was good, but it didn't really flip my opinion on them as a faction. if anything i like sunna less because her archetype as the whiny one with self-confidence issues just grates on me lol||
||also, if i had a nickel for every idol character in a game i play that's voiced by michelle marie...||
||tbh i think a lot of my enjoyment (and from what i can tell, the community's enjoyment) of that chapter is just that it gave us a bunch of cameos from the old cast again. always nice to see characters we like for the first time in a while||
wispy goblet
||It's so close to Anis. I think sometimes I notice it's a little higher pitched than her usual Anis voice, but it's so close. Honestly 90+% of the reason I'm pulling for Nangong.||
I'm doing pull math again
Yuzuha's engine tempts me once again
rapid bough
||i definitely like what they're building with youkai and TOPS. though coupled with the shiyuan cameos and the two new characters that debuted at the end, the "void hunter weapon" storyline seems to be where they might be going next, though i'm sure it'll have tie-ins to the other storylines, especially TOPS given zhao's superior expressed interest in them, and we know promeia is on her way||
||also cissia was annoying. not a bad character, just not the type that i like. probably skipping, not even horni is swaying me||
wispy goblet
||People love her for her girlfailure, but... she's a snake. Hello?||
rapid bough
||she's definitely playing up the girlfailure stuff and that's part of why i find her annoying. but fundamentally characters that are built to be dishonest or hiding things at every turn (even harmless stuff) just grind my gears really bad||
||it took me a while to warm up to jane for that reason, and she basically gets a pass because she's acting/undercover most of the time and she's actually a precious cinnamon roll beneath it all. cissia's current mannerisms just strike me as way closer to who she actually is lol||
||obviously my opinion may change based on when we finally learn her backstory, but i'm not gonna hold my breath||
||also cecilia's design has me weak, best NPC since isolde. wish she'd be playable but like 0.000000000001% chance of that||
||but most importantly: this chapter had multiple evelyn sightings and even a voiced line from her for the LNY video stuff at the end. i am on constant eve watch so instant 10/10||

idols were def the weakest part of this patch
i actually like aria the most (despite my bias toward nangong because she shares a VA with one of my favorite nikke characters) so i think they made the right decision to lead with her
but overall i'm still just whatever about them
runic ether
im more upset that nangong is looking to be far and away bis anomaly
its nangong/yuzuha/whoever the fuck you want cus this is busted
balance decisions feel very weird to me rn
across hoyo games
rapid bough
nangong has my least favorite design of the 3, and considering i don't really like any of their designs, that's not a good place to be in lol
if i get her it will be for michelle marie, but i don't think that's enough
so if she's BIS anomaly then i guess my account will just have to suffer for a while
versed pawn
Tbh
I've been yearning for a stunner that works specifically well for anomaly for a while
wispy goblet
I think Nangong's design the best of the three
runic ether
I've been yearning for a stunner that works specifically well for anomaly for a ...
this is what bothers me
attack and rupture already care about stun windows
why should anomaly also?
very homogenized
versed pawn
Setting up a stun window with anomaly is such a drag
rapid bough
it was bound to happen eventually tbh
runic ether
maybe so? but i still am not a fan
rapid bough
at least anomaly can do novel things with a stun window that rupture/attack which are just "fit more crit + big numbers in"
wispy goblet
they're also positioning Attack teams to be less stun-reliant with their double Attack compositions
runic ether
also with the fact she's so definitively the best in slot
rapid bough
spamming abloom/disorder/anomaly triggers is at least neuron activation
wispy goblet
and Anomaly hypercarry has always been a thing
the infamous mono-ice
Alice-Trigger-Yuzuha
versed pawn
I don't see a issue with this tbh
runic ether
they're also positioning Attack teams to be less stun-reliant with their double ...
its 2x attack + stun not support generally tho and these teams are also generally pretty mid
versed pawn
Setting up a stun and doing a burst window with a anomaly character is a new one technically
runic ether
yeah but its the same as the others
i feel like rupture itself was already kind of messed up for being attack 2
anomaly being made to push their damage window in the stun like all the others is just kind of lame
versed pawn
I think it's genereally more fun to set up stun windows for big dmg then just spamming off cooldown
wispy goblet
plus I think the design team is moving away from disorder cycling with multiple anomaly attributes on one team as a general principle without heavily dedicated support
so it would make sense they'd try to branch out into a known team archetype that works
runic ether
wish they could do something different with each group
rapid bough
i personally don't really mind stun window focus as a gameplay pattern and don't really care much that it's coming for anomaly too
wispy goblet
for better or worse
damage is already the overwhelmingly dominant heuristic in ZZZ
even as the devs are clearly taking steps to curb it
rapid bough
i just don't like or want to pull for nangong specifically lol
runic ether
i get that
its just lame that if thinking about meta, she is so far away bis
its a bit of the dialyn issue bc shes bis for p much every attacker/rupture that wants to do their big damage during the stun. idk how they release another non-attack/rupture stunner without them looking like total ass in comparison or powercreeping dialyn
rapid bough
idrc if she's looking like broken bullshit BIS in beta rn
still plenty of time for nerfs
wispy goblet
leaks suggest Cissia is going to fit the double Attack archetype as well
runic ether
thats true
runic ether
leaks suggest Cissia is going to fit the double Attack archetype as well
yeah so they can sell seed again for like 3 weeks before forgetting these teams exist again
runic ether
orphie is for sanby
wispy goblet
no I mean the reruns are Orphie and Lucia
versed pawn
I mean
rapid bough
i will pull orphie for my sanby team and not look twice at cissia unless her story makes me do a full 180 on her which is unlikely
versed pawn
Boiling it down much nangong will obviously perform better in anomaly weak content then content with high anomaly resist
runic ether
orphie lucia rerun hmmm yeah that'd track tho idk how u add cissia (current) with orphie
wispy goblet
the DPS classes still have small things that distinguish them
versed pawn
Characters fulfill certain niches betters then others
runic ether
i agree but its definitely being diminished/starting to feel diminished
rapid bough
i think the months of rupture shilling and what they've been doing with boss design (modulating DEF, anomaly, freeze resist etc) has proven they're fine with homogenized gameplay loops and will shill specific types of teams based on boss design and buffs
wispy goblet
Anomaly cares most about Anomaly being active
Rupture has the most HP manipulation and parry mechanics
Attack is the most freeform and has been pushed more as the double-DPS class even over Anomaly recently
versed pawn
And about time we get a anomaly weak boss again with Vesper because we had 4 with resist in a row
Tho does wanderer have anomaly resist
runic ether
i dont think so
versed pawn
At least defile, thrall and primordial does
runic ether
i've used alice into wanderer and cleared 20k
rapid bough
wanderer has dummy high DEF which sucks for the (current) best anomaly teams
wispy goblet
people are up in arms about Vesper because she's classed as Anomaly favored but all the current Anomaly characters are pretty weak into her
runic ether
wanderer is just kind of a weak boss
versed pawn
Yeah all rupture weak bosses do have high defense
Primordial doesn't so rupture actually performs worse there
Tho I still clear primordial with yixuan if I have too
I really need another attacker
Account to anomaly pulled
runic ether
people are up in arms about Vesper because she's classed as Anomaly favored but ...
i do think its a bit concerning that they are quite hostile to their past units to sell a new one so heavy handed already in zzz. not sure i like that trend given with how its looked in genshin
wispy goblet
her regular invul phases make landing full EBAs from Alice and Miyabi a hassle
Ice resist and Fire resist to discourage Miyabi and Burnice
none of the current Anomaly archetypes comfortably slot in Zhao
Sunna's bonus passive won't be active under a normal anomaly composition (although the boss mechanics and ether veil challenge buffs more than compensate)
the boss is really fun to fight though
at least if you ask me
just don't expect to score well without Aria
runic ether
yeah i think shes a p solid boss. good timing reqs and has good damage windows overall
wispy goblet
even Vivian is only doing kinda fine
runic ether
tho still not a fan of how hostile she is to past agents at least in da/shiyu
versed pawn
And coundt bother to Rerun my yixuan side with 49k for those 2 seconds
runic ether
it took genshin what... 6 years? 5 ig, before they have really pulled out a lot of stopgaps and thrown shit at the wall with dps checks that some accounts, even well built just cannot reasonably clear
and like yeah, well built accounts in zzz are still clearing vesper with other anomaly/non-anomaly
but ppl complaining a lot about it... idk
at least for me it wasnt that bad
rapid bough
also tbf if all you care about is rewards (which is most of the playerbase) then you can literally ignore vesper and just 6* the other bosses and laugh straight to the bank lol
runic ether
yeah maybe
rapid bough
it'll definitely happen, the question will just be whether they run multiple of those types of bosses at once
runic ether
yeh
versed pawn
Even I got arround to make manato pan yihu clears on da
runic ether
thats the concern more or less
versed pawn
With fufu as a stunner
runic ether
Even I got arround to make manato pan yihu clears on da
sure
versed pawn
Zzz can just take a bit of practice because the boss gimmicks actually matter
runic ether
but there was a point where ppl were clearing with sethos and gaming in genshin too
now u really cannot use either to comfortably clear without an unreal level of investment
versed pawn
I think gaming still clears in the content for him
runic ether
i dont think gaming can clear comfortably even with the gravity plunge boss not too long ago
even varesa struggled a bit if you dont have her c1 or sig
versed pawn
Tho I only ever build gaming for theater
wispy goblet
I get the sense from the (at least regularly online) ZZZ community
that ZZZ's genre as an action with more obvious moment-to-moment skill expression
combined with the game being easier (even relative to a lower level of skill) and Miyabi's wild overperformance
meant a lot of the (online) ZZZ community wanted the game to heavily reward skill expression to such a degree that the "deckbuilding" part of the game would be much less relevant
rapid bough
expecting that in a format that's designed to sell specific characters was a pipe dream
wispy goblet
but also I see other people complaining the game is too skill-demanding now
so maybe it's a wash
runic ether
too skill-demanding is a fundamental misunderstanding
versed pawn
First they cried to ez now they cry to hard
runic ether
but it is a funny self-callout
versed pawn
Same with AKE
First they cry timer then they cry too long timer
Too much dmg to not threatening enough
U will never make everyone happy
rapid bough
too skill-demanding is a fundamental misunderstanding
yeah i think people are confusing "skill" with "having to pay attention"
ZZZ bosses aren't hard, they've just gotten more mechanically dense and have gimmicks that actually matter and are balanced around navigating properly
versed pawn
Which I think is the entire fun of the game
rapid bough
people that want to go in and button mash for 3 minutes have been in shambles at this change
versed pawn
I legit did 2 Complete holograms in wuwa in like 20 mins
Because I don't care what the boss does don't get hit deal dmg
runic ether
and i think another part of the community that is unhappy is def a side that wanted to be able to skill solution their way past all the gimmicks presented with learning a certain agent/rotation perfectly
but hoyo is p clearly heading away from that
hyper tailoring characters/bosses
with "reasonable" alternatives
as long as we dont get some truly awful experiences like recent genshin stygian it should be fine though
rapid bough
I legit did 2 Complete holograms in wuwa in like 20 mins <:nyaruhodo:87305699197...
tbf, i think wuwa has just chosen a different form of satisfaction, namely the ability to navigate your teams properly with intro/outro skills and stuff
that's why quickswap teams are a thing and the level of adderal play they require is nuts
dealing with boss mechanics is definitely less of a focus in wuwa, in lieu of dealing with the interplay of your team's mechanics
runic ether
this last stygian (basically deadass) was just outright locked from clearing even for some whale accounts if you didnt have at the very least ineffa and a hydro hypercarry/skirk
i pity anyone who skipped on mualani/neuvilette/skirk vs the crab
versed pawn
I had to crab with furina and yelan was terrible
runic ether
like as long as we dont get to this point with zzz where u need 2 somewhat unreasonable teams for deadass
wispy goblet
I think it's clear the boss mechanics are introducing increased variance
both in what the boss does and in how cleanly a player can respond to what's happening
so that hitting your theoretical peak score is harder
but also
uhh accept the reality of a chaotic universe and aim for expected value
I personally am not very sympathetic to people who feel the game should have skill be so determinative of the outcome that the variance disappears
I think it's more fun when you're reacting to the boss moment to moment and not trying to find a perfect route and then have the boss always accomodate said route
versed pawn
Legit need aoe water spam
runic ether
I had to crab with furina and yelan was terrible
mona can do it with a huge asterisk cus then it means if u had a durin team with her u lost her for that team
and then it means u need at least c4 mona?
idr the exact req for mona to comfortably do it
but thats a c4 5 star
lmao
even if she is standard
absolutely psycho stygian
that fucking wolf too
even a well built lunar team will struggle if they dont play well + have good builds

I think it's more fun when you're reacting to the boss moment to moment and not trying to find a perfect route and then have the boss always accomodate said route
i can see both sides here, as someone who sometimes starts neurotically optimizing stuff, having boss mechanics and whatnot be deterministic so you can come up with the perfect sequence to navigate the fight is definitely satisfying, and if you're hoping for that sort of experience then it's very annoying to have to deal with a boss that seemingly does shit randomly
runic ether
i dread to see a stygian some day where its wolf double crab
may actually uninstall mid run
versed pawn
Oh the electro dude was super free with flins ineffa obviously idl didn't even bring Columbina just to be safe if I need her for the crab
rapid bough
to be clear though i don't mind bosses that lean into a bit more RNG and thus aren't fully "solveable" and always require some degree of reactivity during any given attempt
it's just that encountering that type of boss when you've expected the purely deterministic type can be quite rough
versed pawn
But dendro crab was comparable free with lauma nahida and 4 stars
rapid bough
and i've had my share of frustrations with it
versed pawn
The fire crab f that one tho
runic ether
Oh the electro dude was super free with flins ineffa obviously idl didn't even b...
ineffabina wheelchair needs great builds on both to clear. flins absolutely needs to be on the team for the wolf
even lauma/nefer struggle vs it
zibai did well after i had her built but it was p miserable anyways
runic ether
i assume that once linnea comes out, wolf becomes way more managable for zibai

I've heard the sentiment expressed
especially by ZZZ content creators
that before, it felt more like you were being rewarded for getting the shill units, but not punished for not getting them (I guess because you could still clear)
but now, it feels like you're punished for not getting the shill units (I guess because now clearing is much harder without fitting the shapes in the holes)
runic ether
this is how it can be with genshin rn
versed pawn
Tho if it's just for rewards
runic ether
and it is slightly concerning to me in zzz that its already starting to feel that way for ppl without as invested accounts
versed pawn
Like primos that's free af
rapid bough
i honestly think the bigger issue is the DA buffs rather than the bosses themselves
runic ether
yeah same deal in genshin it should be reasonable for primos and shit and polychromes
rapid bough
the buffs shill harder than the bosses lol
versed pawn
Hard mode stygian is probably squishier then overworld bosses
versed pawn
After hard
versed pawn
Menacing and fearless is feathers
runic ether
yeye
versed pawn
U can also coop until menacing I think
runic ether
and in theory, zzz should keep it that way ultimately where 1 single boss is for the shilled unit
however zzz does not have lower difficulties for deadass
rapid bough
i mean it sorta does
versed pawn
2 stars on each boss
rapid bough
since you don't need to 9* to get the full meaningful rewards
6* is a pretty low threshold to hit
runic ether
if they ever release 2 bosses to it that require shilled content from now/before that you may not have or get that will be super frustrating
rapid bough
esp if you do have a shill team for one boss and can secure 3* which leaves room for suboptimal attempts on the other bosses
wispy goblet
the buffs shill harder than the bosses lol
but also
since patching is taboo in gacha, especially nerfing
they don't really have any other way of modulating performance
that said, I get the sense people in gacha communities hate the idea of their units becoming less relevant as time goes by
sometimes I wonder if those people would prefer a stagnant game to one that's changing and asking you to adapt
but also a lot of those "adaptations" can become IRL monetary pressures
versed pawn
Only game I ever played that actually nerfed characters was epic 7
rapid bough
that said, I get the sense people in gacha communities hate the idea of their units becoming less relevant as time goes by
i mean it's an understandable sentiment to have, it's just the reality of how these games are structured though and these people would be delusional to expect this not to happen
versed pawn
But then they refund u entirely the mats and give u a ticket to choose a character
runic ether
i wonder how many ppl become inclined to spend more than they would have because their favorite starts falling behind
when hsr began powercreeping to hell and back like they have recently, i just quit despite spending money into the game bc it was just not fun an experience to try and brute force my favorites
rapid bough
like the next fire attack unit will almost certainly be better than evelyn (or at least more shilled toward the new content)
runic ether
and i also was not gonna spend money to max out my mains either
versed pawn
They nerfed hwayoung so hard that she had broken legs for 2 years ish (she attacks by kicking)
rapid bough
and it's honestly what mindscapes are for, even if i loathe the system
runic ether
unless the mindscapes themselves are kind of shit
thats kind of what happened to hsr
rapid bough
like sure a new fire attacker at m0 beats eve at m0, but if they beat m6 eve while still at m0 then we have a much larger powercreep issue on our hands lol
runic ether
even with dupes... some characters just had the power of a m4 or m6 as base kit and their m1s and m2s were so much better
versed pawn
I mean mindscapes are there if u wanna keep playing the character over a long time otherwise it's just wiser to get anither m0 character eitherway
rapid bough
yeah obviously, it's vertical vs horizontal investment
runic ether
hopefully... that remains true
ik some ppl who had whale accounts in genshin just coming back and were unable to clear dire this stygian
versed pawn
Okay dire is hard
And literally needs u to play mechanics
Was allready malding first stygian on fearless and I cleared with raiden the first 2 stygian
On 4 star supports
runic ether
i dont think its necessarily all that hard
versed pawn
Probably won't do that anymore now
runic ether
the dps check is the issue and even some old c6 characters just dont cut it compared to flins, nefer
zibai, mauvika, skirk
versed pawn
Newer characters are stronger yes
But currently if u pull new characters u stay on curve
runic ether
ehhh for non-dire yes
versed pawn
I skip now Zibai and anything until end version patch
Columbina probably support for snezhaya characters
So I can build on that
runic ether
cant just tell someone to get flins cus without ineffa or bina its not gonna feel great and/or you probs still wont clear dire with him
versed pawn
If I can't clear 1 - 2 sytgians I won't cry over it
I got flins without ineffa but obviously billed them on Rerun
Dottore dies in seconds
runic ether
yeah and sure its fine to miss on one or 2 but like
that still is not very encouraging
telling someone "hey come back to the game you wont be able to clear the hard content like you used to because your c6 characters kinda suck now"
"but if you pull this shiny new team, you'll get there."

Zani reruns next patch
oh no.
cyberpunk, lucilla, apparent lynae rerun was bad enough
zani too? and doesn't she need phoebe to work?
i can't fund this nonsense
rapid bough
digital marlin
Actually you can run her with spectro rover buts its noticeably less smoother.
rapid bough
i'm regretting getting aemeath's weapon tbh, those extra ~70 pulls would be quite nice right about now
glossy latch
Yeah its basically not worth to go for Zani without Phoebe
rapid bough
oh well, the die is cast
glossy latch
i can't fund this nonsense
Well there is a way
rapid bough
(i refuse)
jesus christ i really want 4/5 of the banners next patch lol
lynae, zani, qiuyuan, and phoebe (only for zani really) in that order
i think i'm gonna have to settle for just lynae, sad
digital marlin
also, isn't the 2nd anniversary soon? i seem to remember controversy of wuwa's 1...
Yeah it was pretty meh
glossy latch
Fwiw
Qiuyuan is an easy skip for you because you dont have a team for him I dont think
rapid bough
isn't he in galbrena's premium team?
glossy latch
Like I have him and I still prefer mono-fusion for Galbrena
rapid bough
what's the 3rd fusion you run in that team? mortefi?
glossy latch
Mortefi or Brant
digital marlin
A event based on how much you pull on gacha some extra pulls. And banner selector for most of the limiteds.
glossy latch
I have Brant, but Mortefi has a better buff for Galbrena (at the cost of much lower personal damage)
digital marlin
It also gave us the cubes though
rapid bough
yeah i'd just use mortefi which is fine
glossy latch
Yeah Mortefi is perfectly viable
rapid bough
conveniently he was rate-up on the current banners or aemeath's i think
so i have him m6

After that its maybe getting the supposed Chisa BiS teammate we might get?

chisa is the sort of unit that's probably going to age well even if she's in a weird spot rn
something tells me i'm going to regret not getting her soon
glossy latch
Well there is leaks for a future glacio chafe unit
rapid bough
but i gather she's a popular character and one of the more waifu-coded ones in the game
so she'll probably get another rerun in short order
esp if they give her a shill team member
rapid bough
Well there is leaks for a future glacio chafe unit
it is very funny to me that the last limited glacio unit was carlotta
poor forgotten element

Im skipping next patch. And there is a chance I'm skipping collab

my collector brain basically won't allow me to skip collab units

Glacio really got the short end of the stick
glossy latch
Though tbh elements in wuwa barely matter
rapid bough
Glacio really got the short end of the stick
feels like this meme, the skeleton is glacio and the drowning kid is electro (though iirc lucilla is expected to be electro?)
fusion/aero/spectro/havoc all seem to get similar amounts of love
glossy latch
Lucilla is expected to be electro yeah
rapid bough
though fusion is the only one i know of that has mono premium teams built around specifically the element (thanks to lupa's existence)
glossy latch
Basically
There is a mono-havoc team, but thats more because they all do echo stuff
And even then I think Qiuyuan is now part of it?
rapid bough
but yeah i've noticed even from what little ToA/whiwa i've done that ignoring elements doesn't make a huge difference (unless i run into a fusion prism with mono-fusion in which case i cry)
i'm sure having good teams that can play into elemental weaknesses is helpful, but it doesn't seem nearly as heavily shilled compared to, say, ZZZ

i was not ready for the cubes a few days into playing the game lmao
that mode was pretty surreal, i've never been on an acid trip but i have to imagine it feels a lot like entering the wuwa anni cube mode felt for me

I only care about maybe Lucy if her gameplay revolves around wires

When was it supposed to be anyway, 3.4 or 3.5?
rapid bough
i actually had no idea when it was meant to be, i figured sooner rather than later
if it's 3.4/3.5 then that's months away
maybe my pulls will be less stretched than i think
(i say that but then i lose one 50 and all my savings go up in smoke)
i've been hella lucky to start, it's bound to run out eventually
ripped moryne in 30 pulls, and won the 50s on aemeath and galbrena
i lost the 50 on shorekeeper but then got her like 15 pulls later

something something building pity

here's a concept
build pity by pulling toward characters you want and are actively saving for
so that you confidently have enough to pull them
better attempt with 5k perf points
wispy goblet
build pity by pulling toward characters you want and are actively saving for
but if I miraculously get Sunna in one ten-pull I'll have a whole extra character without significantly impacting my long-term pulling plans

i'm sure i can improve with better navigation of the fight/my character resources but i feel like it'll be like trying to squeeze water from a stone
rapid bough
but if I miraculously get Sunna in one ten-pull I'll have a whole extra characte...
you ain't misty
wispy goblet
i'm sure i can improve with better navigation of the fight/my character resource...
it's a rough fight to close out
because (if you're only getting two stuns like most anomaly-based teams will) the last thirty seconds or so will be Vesper in a semi-invulnerability phase
even when I finally cleared it was down to the wire-wire
I hope I don't have to skip Promeia (or Nangong)
but I'm really concerned they're gonna do a Caesar rerun with SBilly
and I really want Caesar
she was my last really big rerun want before the Angels
rapid bough
cleared 100k with the slight improvement on vesper and a major jump on hunter
i'm content
I hope I don't have to skip Promeia (or Nangong)
but I'm really concerned they're gonna do a Caesar rerun with SBilly
given all of these things -- that you want to pull for nangong, don't want to skip promeia, and are worried about a caesar rerun... you shouldn't even consider pulling for sunna or yuzuha's wengine lol
