Although I'm honestly more concerned about the HP and DEF since Break Effect is the only thing Blade cares about
I'd rather he just not die
Took him out for a test run and I was thinking about going back to double sustain because he just took half his health in one hit
Hopefully the lightcone switch is enough though

Does Boothill have Atk% to BE% like Xueyi and Firefly?
I can't remember
Wait, my bad
Xueyi has BE% to damage boost

I’m having the same issue w Boothill survivability. Aven is busy on his follow up team so I usually keep Luocha on Boothill babysitting duty and it’s just not enough
finite mason
So it's not just me...
They told me the only thing he cares about is break effect
I think you still need perfect HP/DEF substats for him to even live
oak hollow
It's going to sound absolutely crazy.
But because Boothil does scale with BE, you can run HP/Def orb if survivability is an issue.

It's going to sound absolutely crazy.

You'll definitely want speed, so the speed boots must say

Bro I swear artifact/relic farming is bad by design so people keep playing on a daily basis because their builds are never finished
oak hollow
I literally have the most optimal solution to this problem, two actually
- Hoyoverse removes the time gating for the relic set farming and allows us to do it as many times as runs we can do in a day.
- Let us use our golden relic materials to influence our stat upgrades directly. If they're really feeling insecure about it, they can make the material limit something crazy like 10,000 relic points. Nine times out of ten, people will always favor not dealing with RNG over something just taking a really long time. Most 5 star relics end up trash after some bad upgrades, anyway.
finite mason
1. Hoyoverse removes the time gating for the relic set farming and allows us to ...
That first one can't be done, I think it's against Chinese law to not have some form of stamina system in a gacha game
But the second one sure
oak hollow
Wait wtf
Is that actually a law?
That has got to be the most random law I've ever heard of.
finite mason
I have to actually faq check it, but I know China has some pretty strict laws about the amount of time people under a certain age are allowed to play video games
oak hollow
Huh
That is...
Unfortunate
I still hope they give us a way of trading in our materials to choose stats to upgrade
It'd be a lifesaver
finite mason
Ok it's unrelated, stamina systems have existed longer than the laws surrounding playtime and they're mainly to milk players out of money to play longer
But they do still have strict regulations in China on how long and how much you can spend on video games for minors
oak hollow
Geez
Oh well then
I have one good solution to the problem
But it is still leagues better than what we have now

As a geologist who made my job part of my personality
I’m so crazy interested in their choices
Like how Pearl is the only cornerstone that isn’t technically a stone, but Pearl isn’t an technically organic being, which is what the Pearl is
I was talking to my friends about how Obsidian will probably be a destruction unit because Obsidian is glass historically used in weaponry
And also don’t get me started on my “Sunday is Sapphire” crack theory
I know the major theories are now he’s going to become a trailblazer but MAN it would be incredibly good writing to have him join the IPC. The only Order needed, the Preservation!!

I wonder if you could make this a genuinely viable team using destruction path in SU and also throw Arlan in there?
I never tested if the HP drain for some attacks and shared HP blessing counts for everyone or not
If it does, Blade could probably spam his FUA
pure whale
Ultimate silliness
Destruction path and Blade always feels like a gamble, since getting Aven I’ve been avoiding it since RNG can ruin a perfectly good run in an instant
oak hollow
Why so?
Is it because the self-healing passive from one of the blessings is too weak?
Oh wait
Probably because Blade's health drops so much
pure whale
I’ve just had a lot of unfortunate timing of Blade getting focused while waiting for Luocha heal refresh

Ah

Aye, a long time.
Don't even know what they would do for it. Since it's Stay/Night, it's the recognizable cast, but by far some of the most boring to use relative to more derivative Fate works. Not that they would ever use anyone other than ones that would bring in money

(Aventurine flashback)
high geode
oak hollow
Workplace injuries are nothing to be concerned about!
oak hollow
I don't know where I'm squeezing out one more cycle.
I'm thinking maybe running the threads light cone on Aventurine but idk if it'll be enough of a difference.
Also, I just realized that I didn't take a screenshot of the team I tried using.
Team one was HTB, Himeko, Gallagher, Ruan Mei
Team two was Ratio, Aventurine, Sparkle, Topaz (I tried Tingyun and Pela before in Sparkle's place but it did not work in the slightest.)
I tried the Acheron brute force team on the second half with Huohuo SW and Pela but it's too skill point heavy, plus I think one of them actually resists lightning.
Whatever it was, it didn't work in the slightest
high geode
That Acheron team is too skill point heavy? I find that surprising. Res'ing lightening doesn't really matter since it's not a break based MoC, and if you really needed it there is SW there anyway. I would have used Aventurine instead of Huohuo with universal market LC, but I don't have and have never played Acheron.
I wouldn't be too surprised though if a non optimized Acheron team loses out to what is basically RRAT.
idk, Acheron is broken. Not as broken as Sam, but still very broken.
oak hollow
Tbh, it could just be heavily unoptimized play on my end.
I usually run the Acheron team with Gallagher for an extra debuff and two free skill points to use more skills. He just doesn't have the AOE cleanse that Huohuo has and I originally thought Aventurine couldn't handle it.
I was wrong, as it turns out. His shield actually can handle the DOT. I might have to try it again just to see if it's any better.
languid jackal
Def try with Aventurine and trend
You shouldn't have to worry about SP and will generate more stacks
high geode
Aventurine can also apply an additional debuff with ult. That puts him at two possible stacks up on Huohuo
I thought path two of 12 was against Argenti? What are the two fights?
oak hollow
It is Argenti.
The first fight is against the punishment witch and the dot boss from the past present and future
high geode
All I remember was I 1 cycled the first path with break team because they absolutely destroy the past/present/future trio, and then did path 2 with hyper energy Jing Liu
oak hollow
The one cycle used Firefly?
I just replaced her with Himeko because I didn't feel like building her lmao
Actually, now I have to try this again with Aventurine in the Acheron team.
I really didn't think this through.
high geode
Aye, Firefly break team is the single strongest team in the game right now, but not a small amount.
It’s also incredibly easy to build her. Break Effect > Atk > Speed, unless you want 4 attacks in ult then you need… 144 speed or something
But you honestly don’t need to do that to still 0-2 cycle pretty much every fight in the game right now.
oak hollow
Wow... I didn't realize it was stronger by THAT much.
I only used that team in DU where the numbers are always ridiculous.
high geode
Actually I think the speed requirement for the one extra attack on ult is 151
Regardless, the difference between my two teams was like 6 full cycles. It just doesn’t matter because break team kills things so fast I can afford to waste 7 cycles path 2 and still 3 star.
Iirc FF requirements are at least 2600 attack, 360 break in combat (very easy to hit), and then the speed breakpoints depending on how much you were a whale for her
oak hollow
6 cycles is a big difference, wow...
Tbh though, break team in general is really strong. I've gotten 1-3 cycle clears for most of this MOC with a break team and Himeko.
It's even better that break teams tend to be way faster than hypercarry too, since attack stats are NOT needed.
oak hollow
Iirc FF requirements are at least 2600 attack, 360 break in combat (very easy to...
Isn't it every 100 atk gets converted into 10% BE?
When does that start?
high geode
Every 10 attack past 1800 becomes .8%
oak hollow
Every 10 does?
That's...
Kinda broken.
So 100 attack is converted to 8% BE.
high geode
The conversion rate was much higher right before release. One of the last things they nerfed iirc.
oak hollow
If the breakpoint is 2500 atk, she gets about 56% BE? from that alone.
high geode
Essentially a leveled rope from a trace
oak hollow
Yeah, that's a LOT of BE.
Getting that for free is crazy
You can somewhat easily hit around 200%, that's what HTB has for my set right now.
Then she gets 56 for free.
Working to get that last hundred is where most of her build comes from, seems like.
That or specing into speed
But who needs speed when Asta exists?
high geode
No room for Asta in the regular team.
The team is FF/HMC/Ruan/Sustain (usually Gallagher)
oak hollow
Ah.
Yeah, I forgot about the sustain
It's a shame that characters going down in MOC ruins your score
high geode
Aye
oak hollow
In the later levels, there's no room for going all in with damage
The bosses are too beefy

I am now questioning how I managed a 4-cycle in phase 1 lmao
I have no idea what I was cooking at 3 in the morning.

After testing it again, I can confirm that the Acheron brute force team is not ideal for this MOC.
It did significantly worse than the FUA team

Idk if lightning DMG boost is better than this though
Her attack drops down to about 3300 without it
languid jackal
Idk if lightning DMG boost is better than this though
They're about the same, use the one with better substats
oak hollow
Hm
That's surprising, considering we've got this stat in the stat pool.
You'd think it'd be more powerful
languid jackal
I think the explanation was that Acheron already gets a lot of Lightning DMG bonus in her kit as it is
So ATK is slightly more valuable
oak hollow
Interesting
I can't remember how much DMG boost comes from her traces
But I guess that means ATK scales harder past a certain threshold
high geode
Consensus is better substats. Probably the only unit in the game that it's even a question which should have told Hoyo something.
Not having her LC is big sad though.
It's literally a 25% damage diff
oak hollow
No surprise there
Sigh light comes tend to be the best for the character they're made for
Excluding JY because why not

There is best for them though, and there is 25%

Would you not expect that kind of damage difference from a signature lightcone?
finite mason
Twitter
high geode
Would you not expect that kind of damage difference from a signature lightcone?
Not usually. That used to kind of be an erudition only thing because the none pull erudition LCs were and are (outside of the special circumstances of pure fiction) by far the worst ones in the game. Even if you count store whale dust cones
Assuming optimal usage of each LC, the only other character, I'm hesitant to say taht matters because he really doesnt, with a 25% difference between their signature and other Lightcones is Blade, because Blade just doesn't function like everyone else. On average everyone else not using their signature is only around 10% less, with many only being like 8%.
oak hollow
Ah
I see the problem now
The lightcone makes Acheron essentially twice as effective
I wonder if that's just from being about to build stacks twice as quickly or not?
I'd have to look at the lightcone description again
It does make me wonder what happened to Boundless Choreography though
I thought that lightcone was a 4* version of Acheron's signature
oak hollow
I completely forgot that once you get the no death star in MOC, that star is permanent.
You can just ignore the 'no downed characters' rule after you completed a first run that fulfilled it
I got my last star once Hunt March got thrown into the team
I had one extra cycle to work with and just let Topaz die on the second half to maximize my DPS with Ratio
I wish I kept his old 2pc imaginary 2pc duke set because his FUA damage was actually way higher with that than the debuff set

Iirc, they did try to give Clara shoes
At least, the children of Belobog did
But Clara actively refused to learn how to walk in them
Therefore, she remains barefooted
finite mason
Wtf how hard is it to walk in like sandals?
oak hollow
Super hard for her, apparently
I don't remember if it was in a story quest or lightcone, but one of them stated that Clara couldn't keep her balance when wearing the shoes
finite mason
Oh you know what it probably was?
They probably gave her high heels
Anime girl fighters have to wear heels, that’s the law of the land
For some reason
finite mason
She's older than Hook isn't she?
oak hollow
Idk
high geode
Yes
And I’ll be honest there almost certainly is a lore reason as to why they don’t wear shoes, but it’s the same case as Yunli
Nonsense. They just wanted someone with bare feet. Clara is just an additional sin because it’s PERMANENTLY WINTER
oak hollow
?????
That is certainly a reason
Come to think of it though, I don't know why Yunli doesn't wear shoess
At least they tried to explain it for Clara
oak hollow
Nope, that's totally true.
Firefly.
I don't have to say anything else lmao.
I think she got like six trailers
But they absolutely tried their hardest to sell her.
high geode
I won't say why I know this, but it's very clear that they are feeling a ton of pressure with releases right now because, even though it's what they wanted, Firefly was too successful.
oak hollow
Too successful?
high geode
They're very scared Firefly pullers won't be pulling on anyone this version, because there really isn't a reason to besides a team 2.
high geode
For... a certain someone they're seemingly trying to fix that with absurd numbers, but they didn't have time to do that with Yunli so

Unless you're missing a sustain (Huohuo)

To each their own, not my place. And honestly it's at best speculation on my part.

I don't think so. I haven't looked into it since the middle of penacony, and at that time it was just people asking why on Reddit.
high geode
But since all of a sudden new VA and it's all fixed? Probably a spat with the previous one they couldn't get sorted in time with the tight schedule they run.
pure whale
From what I understand, it is a lot of union/contract issues with Huohuo/Argenti's VAs.
high geode
If Hoyo was keeping quiet on why, I wouldn't be surprised they're skimping out somehow.
pure whale
I feel like a lot of issues occuring on the english dub has to do with the studio handling Honkai's dub. But then again the studio handling genshin's dub had all of those allegations about not paying actors on time last year so
I know then Hoyo had said "woah hey no we paid the studio this ain't us this time"
The english VA scene is in such a weird spot these days. Especially now with the strike. I feel like they have a harder time with parasocial relationships and PR than other language and I could write an essay on it by this point. But then again I am unfamiliar with the foreign VA market
oak hollow
Apoc has only had one update so far and it's already WAY harder than MOC 12.
I have absolutely zero idea how to 3 star stage four anymore
I only clutched stage 3 out the last time because break team is so strong (using Hunt March as Break DPS in the second half).
But now I have no idea how to complete it.
I thought FUA team against phase 1 was my best bet but the builds I've been using so far are suddenly not even remotely close to enough (which I plan to fix with some better builds later, whenever I get around to it).
The spike in difficulty for this Apoc 3-4 is way higher than last update though, for certain.
high geode
Most people have done break team route 1, Argenti route 2
I got close to it, but I don’t have Pela built to consistently try and do route 2 with Argenti. He can do it though.
oak hollow
Not having Argenti really coming back for me this time around
high geode
I mean, no one expected Aregenti to ever be good outside of PF. It just so happens that Doomsday has all physical weakness in route 2 letting him weakness break them for the increased damage. If even a single part didnt' have physical weakness he wouldn't be able to do it.

Jokes aside, really sucks that they keep doing that
I get it's a marketing strategy but like
Can it be every other patch that they cater to the five star or something
high geode
I mean, even with it clearly being tailored to Yunli, they don't all have perma phys weakness in route 1, otherwise Argenti would be used on that side instead since he naturally wants to be paired with Huohuo and you want Huohuo against Kafka
oak hollow
Honestly, true
Although, this Kafka doesn't seem to have her normal damage ramp up like she does in her boss and SU
Instead, she becomes incredibly annoying by freezing you even more than Cocolia
high geode
Can't freeze you if she's dead.

True!
However, consider this:
My FUA builds suck and I can't do that fast enough
Yeah, I just need to rebuild everyone.

Indeed, and it’s a strict upgrade.

It depends on the character
I don't actually think Fei will suffer as much without her sig, if you have like, Topaz's instead. Maybe Ratio's but I'd have to reread it.
oak hollow
Oh?
Maybe I need to look into eidolons instead then
I just know that people tend to find the lightcone more valuable
high geode
Usually it is, also more efficient. But Fei's lightcone is so generic in its effects that for both good and bad it doesn't seem that hard to find another useable lightcone.

oak hollow
It can be done!
Just very difficult.
Erudition path is pretty good if you can battery Herta.
Not to mention that March can act as a ST Firefly now that she's out
Laurel Crown and the Rupert curios make you a lot of progress
Getting Ruan Mei Occurrences is another way.
I usually try to go through as many wealth/reward domains as I can.
Occurrence otherwise.
At those higher difficulties, Combat domains are practically useless and don't benefit you at all (you can save money and buy blessings from every single store).
The Wish Upon A Star curio is especially good, and should be your only exception to not using Combat domains. You can't get the double credits if you don't complete five battles before the final domain
There was another curio as well that made you lose 400 credits but gain 600 after it breaks, iirc.
You essentially want to run a mini Company Time run within DU and it shouldn't be too bad.
If you don't have a good start by the second plane, I'd honestly just suggest starting over.

So I just decided to try out the Apoc for this patch
... And I'm already done
I hardly struggled at all with it
Also, for the first time, I didn't clear an endgame mode using the Acheron team
Did they make this one easier than usual?
I've been seen some people taking advantage of the insane 55% bonus ice damage
high geode
I’ll have to see when I get home.
high geode
I would say it’s a pretty easy Apoc yeah. About 800 points above what’s necessary to 3 star final stage.
oak hollow
800 points above is honestly not crazy this time around
I wonder why it's so much easier this time?
high geode
Because they made it a mix of both follow-up and break being good in this.
Follow-up teams are easy to scrounge up, everyone and their mother has follow-up damage somewhere.
And Break Team doesnt' even need help to be good in Apoc, so literally any bonuses to them lets them crush it.
If I had to guess, anyway.

I built Moze and really impressed by his numbers on my Aven FUA team. I’ve been swapping Ratio and Moze for elemental needs and he’s keeping pace damage wise
Crazy he’s only E2 and a four star. I got a little lucky with the build and have him on Final Victor
high geode
Moze is very strong.
He pairs exceptionally well with follow up main DPS as a side grade to Topaz
His job is basically the same as hers. To the point Topaz’s LC is unironically his BIS.
pure whale
Yeah running him with Aven, Topaz, Robin. Pretty impressed that Star Rail is giving us some pretty useful 4 stars lately. (This message is about Gallagher sorry Misha)
oak hollow
Gallagher being better than Luocha is honestly pretty crazy
He's just insane
Gallagher is the embodiment of the
Archetype of characters
high geode
I would say sidegrade rather than strictly better, but yeah
pure whale
My Luocha still outperforms Gallagher on my Blade team
high geode
Luocha definitely better on follow-up teams since it's a teamwide proc every hit regardless of hit strength
Gallagher kinda does it too, but its individual

Waiting for Lingsha banner. I do need to play the game again though, Persona has just been consuming me

but friend of mine has their account on another server and I watched them do the new MoC
If you do not interrupt Hoolay's Blood Moon in phase 2 he will unironically go 3 times in a row or more, and he takes two turns a go like every boss, soooo
He has 424 speed or something in phase 2 blood rage.
high geode
He doesn't do a lot of damage, so if you have like Adventurine, you're good

I saw the ridiculous buff Sunday gave Jing Yuan
Literally just letting the lightning lord have more turns is all he needed
That and anti-cc

He still won’t be worth it over literally any other summon based DPS unit but I don’t really care.
I want Jing Yuan to be good for more than a single patch.
oak hollow
He should be, though?
Unless it's the classic case of him immediately falling off because the devs gave him that much of a buff just to show how good Sunday is
Or catering him to everyone
*everything
high geode
I think Juan is simply too old. Yes Sunday is a massive buff to him, no doubt, but he's competing with Feixiao, Acheron, and Firefly teams. He simply doesn't have the numbers. Or the sixteen passives for existing like new characters.

Probably because Sunday is borderline insane to begin with. Honestly would make for a great horror villain in terms of a "you're about to die speech." That and he contrasts heavily with Robin's personality, which in the case of this last image would DEFINITELY creep me out.
Imagine actually running into younger versions of these two in the hall.
oak hollow
I can now confirm that the Unknowable Domain sucks
I don't know what exactly is wrong with it, but it isn't what I expected.
Maybe it's the fact that your characters are basically irrelevant
This is one of the only game modes I can think about where your characters straight up don't matter.
The other game mode was the event with the Trash cans, because it also only mattered if one character in your party met the condition for the trash can, which is still significantly better than whatever is going on here. Plus, the health pool in that event wasn't so overturned that your characters are basically useless. But you definitely couldn't beat the strict cycle limit with them alone. Felt like you needed to use the right kind of team to support your main DPS (character in slot one and the associated Trash summon)
Doesn't matter how well they're built at all.
It only matters if they meet the condition for the Scepters and Components
That is surprisingly not fun
Galactic Baseballer, which is the event this game mode is based on, was like this too but it wasn't super irritating.
A run (at least below difficulty 5) still takes about 30 minutes, so that's also not a problem.
Maybe I'm playing the game wrong or something.
The descriptions of every item is so long that it's become a major chore to read, even in comparison to some blessings / the equations in DU.
analog venture
What exactly does Sunday do?
high geode
You’re not doing something wrong, that is exactly how unknowable from sun works and a lot of people aren’t fans.
And a very tldr of Sunday is he action advances both a character and their summon. Think a supped up Bronya
analog venture
Oh okay
That only helps like 3 people rn. King Yuan, Lingsha, and Topaz (arguably)
high geode
He won’t be good with Topaz, she’s hard locked to follow up teams and advances Numby enough. Better off just doing a normal break team with Lingsha, Juan desperately needs this level of help, since lightning Lord’s speed is his biggest weakness.
The problem is Sunday is clearly meant to be the Robin for summon teams, the Ruan Mei of break teams. Which means he’ll be the best support for every summon based DPS until they make a stronger him.
oak hollow
You’re not doing something wrong, that is exactly how unknowable from sun works ...
Just saw videos of that earlier today with people complaining about it
Guess it's true then
We peaked with Gold and Gears, I have no idea what the heck is going on after that
DU is supposed to be the replacement for the original Simulated Universe, I guess?
By the way, I find it really cool that it is technically possible to beat Simulated Universe (original) without any useful blessings.
Very difficult, yes, but not impossible if your characters are built well
That obviously doesn't apply to the others but 
Cool aspect anyway
oak hollow
This weekly version of DU giving you free reward domains every single option you get is truly peak in terms of power scaling.
I managed to get seven max out equations, including two gold ones
The boss never stood a chance 
I still think G&G is the best though, in terms of variety. Haven't tried the Dissociation strat yet but the others are really fun.
Gotta love Nihility, one of my favorite phone-melting methods.
high geode
I think DU is the best in terms of overall. Swarm Disaster and especially G&G suffer hardcore at higher difficulties. In the sense of it isnt' actual difficulty it's "if you kill a boss's phase at the wrong time you instantly lose because they turn reset into super move into turn reset which one shots your entire team through everything." aka the problem everyone has with Hoolay.
I did a test of max difficulty G&G, just to see one time. Even wtih max speed investment, ulting firefly, if I killed phase 1 of the double robots boss at the 'wrong' time, they would go a combined 12 times in a row before my next action. If at any point one of those actions was the ground slam super attack, it would 100-0 everyone on my team through max hp shield except for firefly. Who would then just die to the next thing.
oak hollow
That boss in specific in notorious for being absolutely terrible to fight
The condition of beating them both at the same time is so strict that it's almost unfair, no arguments there
I think that's why people use the remembrance path so much for those ones
Freeze cheese is borderline unstoppable there
Actually, come to think about it, that's a major problem in general for high level G&G
The enemies hit so hard that the goal is literally just to never let them have a turn (or die)
I need to check and see if a preservation run can even tank that level of damage

No problem 
high geode
yes the F is Fei, since she's basically a strict upgrade to Ratio
high geode
You... could, but the support for the second would be questionable since it can't be Robin.
high geode
Not for dual carries. Your only other option right now is, like, Mei
oak hollow
high geode
I honestly think debuffing is dead at this point, outside of the obvious comps. They just throw on so much pen onto every carry and buffer.
oak hollow
Is def down and vulnerability not good anymore or something?
Res pen is that much stronger?
high geode
Not that it's that much stronger, it's just that the current supports are waaaay stronger than Pela and SW, combined with basically every E1 on the last 8 units being some combination of free pen or crit something.
SW existing only to drop one units def by 50% loses a lot of value when Fei gives herself 28% while her support is boosting everyones damage by 40%, giving them 20% pen, AND boosting weakness efficiency or damage even further.
oak hollow
Actually, Fei's def down is doubled, iirc
But that doesn't exactly help my argument
Also yeah, Ruan Mei is broken
I still think it's totally doable to use the 'weaker' debuffing units though
high geode
Yeah it's up to two stacks of 27% at S1
oak hollow
52%
high geode
It is absolutley doable, yes
I just question why would you unless you don't possess any of the other teams right now. We're not exactly starved for choice, Break, Acheron, Fei Follow up, weird counter teams, the PF slaughterers like Jade, Himeko/Herta, Argenti, even Boothill has a place to shine in APOC.
oak hollow
Oh, I was just listing the possibility of doing it
It sounds like fun to run two follow up teams
Ngl, break is boring af
high geode
It's certainly doable, and it wouldn't even be bad.
Topaz/Robin for one, Moze/Mei for the other
I just always pose the question of why would I pull Mei for that when I can just... Sam.
Because balanced design.
Oh right gatcha game I should say use instead of pull
oak hollow
Topaz/Robin for one, Moze/Mei for the other
FUA dmg% up is better than having a standard buffer?
I see this kind of stuff all the time
Moze/Topaz is always picked over the other supporting characters (except maybe March thanks to the crit buff)
I never tested myself but it seems weird.
high geode
With Moze you can maybe make the argument, but with Topaz its no question, even less of a question if you have Topaz's LC and E1.
Think of who you pair them with, either Ratio or Fei
Both Topaz and Moze are a decent damage source, buff the primaries damage by at least as much as any other support would, and most importantly give somethign the primary DPS needs, either a debuff for Ratio or a lot of ult stack generation for Fei
oak hollow
Can't argue against that one, actually
high geode
If you have E1 S1 Topaz she is giving: 30% follow up damage (which since it isn't just damage up you won't get diminishing returns because of stacking), 24% crit damage on follow ups, a quickly stacked Duran's, 50% additional crit damage on follow ups, and uuuh
oak hollow
high geode
I think that's it
oak hollow
Yeah that's uh
Really fast
So I guess the DMG% and the type DMG% buffs stack differently
high geode
Moze obviously is not as strong, but he's the same general idea, especially since you can just give him Topaz's LC too
Yeah they are counted independent
oak hollow
Half as effective, unless E6
high geode
So you don't lose any value on Topaz's/Moze's follow up damage% when stacked with Robin's damage up%
For whatever reason.
oak hollow
This is
That feels wrong
At least they didn't make Robin's talent per hit, as opposed to per action
Except for ultimates for some reason because
high geode
The best thing I can think of for how Star Rail has developed is
Being strong or whatever on your own isn’t enough. DHIL is what I think of. In a vacuum he is still very, very powerful
But the game is so unit to unit synergy based that it doesn’t matter. He doesn’t have a Robin, a Ruan Mei or Harmony TB, or a Topaz
He’s stuck with generics that are fairly good for him.
King Yuan might go from one of the worst 5 stars to viable simply because of Sunday
I say simply, Sunday is going to be very good, but the idea is there.
oak hollow
Sparkle would be the closest direct buff he has
But only because he eats SP like it's nothing
Also yeah, all the hypercarry DPS suffer from that
They literally only buff themselves and don't share buffs with anyone else
FUA was the first real archetype (unless you want to consider DOT), where that actually started to change.
And now, with Sunday and Jing, the summon-type characters are going to get more use
Well, that's the example but you get the point
I've seen leaks for Hertas upcoming kit, seems like the AOE/FUA characters are going to pair with her.
She scales vertically with hits per action, so even someone like Jing Yuan would be good on her teams
It's just a shame that it's only the newer DPS that have this
high geode
I’ve seen her kit, she’s supposed to scale like Acheron, ie a multiple erudition team
Aka
Herta with Herta
oak hollow
I'm starting to think that all of the confirmed emanators are going to start doing that now
Pairing incredibly well with units of the same type
Also yes, Herta is a prime example of a good unit to pair with Herta
But also Jade
FUA aren't specific to a single path, but Feixiao pairs incredibly well with any unit that consistently performs FUA (mostly hunt by this point)
So it isn't unreasonable to think we'll get there.
I'm waiting for the emanator of Destruction
high geode
We know the names of most of them, just haven’t seen them besides Phanty
high geode
I still don’t understand what decides how powerful an emanator is.
oak hollow
I
Also don't know
I thought they were supposed to be somewhat equal in strength but I guess not?
I guess they're all equally powerul in different ways
i.e., Emanator of Erudition being one of the most powerful in terms of intelligence
high geode
I’m not sure that’s true, but we have little to go off of at the moment.
oak hollow
Hm
high geode
Hoolay is a powerful emanator of abundance, for example
oak hollow
Makes it kind of hard to tell when the characters act like most emanators should be on the same level
Yeah
high geode
But he was clearly going to get clapped by any of the generals
oak hollow
To be fair
He was locked in the Shackling Prison for 1000+ years
And apparently poisoned
high geode
Yes, but with abundance it makes it seem like he recovers unnaturally quickly and is more or less never really in a weakened state
Since that’s kinda the whole point
high geode
Does that mean propagation emenators are weaker because they kinda just
oak hollow
We actually saw that happen in game with Blade
oak hollow
Yeah actually
Propagation is one of the strongest paths just because they reproduced so rapidly
That's what the Swarm disaster was
The aeons literally banned together just to try and stop it.
high geode
Blade has the body of an emenator, literally, but I’m not convinced he has the power of one.
oak hollow
He was 'cursed with the abundance'
Not sure if that's the same as being an emanator though?
Apparently not
high geode
The flesh he was cursed with was literally that of an emanator of abundance. I don’t remember his name, but that’s what the plan to bring back their dead friend with the previous Imbibitor L
oak hollow
Yingxing?
That was his previous incarnation, iirc
If that's what you're referring to

Whatever his name was yeah. Previous DHIL and pre-cursed Blade tried to revive the foxian pilot of the high cloud quartet that died
Yada yada it went bad, created a monster, blade got cursed, DHIL gets forcefully reincarnated
oak hollow
Dan Feng
I guess being an Emanator of Abundance doesn't allow you to bring back the dead?
high geode
Or they just did it wrong. Dunno
But that’s why Blade potentially can’t die at all. They’re not sure throwing him into a star will even do it.
oak hollow
Supposedly, Acheron can
Because the Nihility just does not care
And is more powerful than all the other paths by default for some reason
Except HooH
I just realized the dilemma here
There kind of isn't a standard at all
Stuff just happens
high geode
I suppose that’s the point of SU’s purpose as well
oak hollow
Herta also wants to figure this stuff out
high geode
I doubt they’ll ever really get into it though. At least not anytime soon
oak hollow
They're definitely going to play out the long game, no doubt.
Although, they did drop quite a bit of lore already.
There's so much stuff to keep track of that you genuinely need to take notes to piece together anything coherent
high geode
Because they just drop faction and term names without explaining any of them all the time. They did that hardcore in Penacony ands it’s half the reason I didn’t like it.
Ah yes the equilibrium chasers that created the dreamweaving flux of harmonies dove central with help from the fictionologists chased out of sigonia by the annihilation gang. Like bruh just because I know what that means now doesn’t make it a good thing to do constantly.
high geode
Yes I’m being hyperbolic, but it’s a big criticism I have of star rail as whole. They’re going overboard with it in unknowable domain
high geode
It is satire that isn’t real. Some of the terms are, some aren’t.
high geode
First half besides dreamweaving flux that is a thing. Most of the terms I used are stuff but they’re not related like that. Annihilation Gang was uuuh, Duke Infernos. Sigonia is Aventurines home. Fictionoligsts be Gallagher and we don’t know anyone else

It's confirmed memokeepers are emenators? I didn't think they are.
If they are they are weak as hell
pure whale
I actually have been doing research on them for a fic I’m writing lmao
Dad was the one that said it (from wiki):
After telling the truth to Welt about the Messenger, he states, "Seems like the rumors are true. The Emanators of the Remembrance don't have a physical body and only those they allow can see them." Welt is not suggesting there is a rumor about the Memokeepers being Emanators, rather that there's rumors about their powers. As Welt's statement is not debunked by any recent information about Memokeepers, it can be taken as fact — however as he could be incorrect about his sources, it could still be seen as ambiguous.
So more than likely they are Emanators, but it is possible misunderstanding happened
high geode
Hmm. I don't know if I buy it. Not unless this is like a ten stonehearts thing where they're being lent it and so are drastically weaker. But I'll take it as fact until proven otherwise
oak hollow
I actually have been doing research on them for a fic I’m writing lmao
Dad was...
Welt was right about saying that rumor.
Whoever it is that lets you get to the Forgotten Hall on the Astral Express (forgot her name) is from the Garden of Recollection and only visible to the Trailblazer.
Not sure if she's an Emanator of Remembrance or not but it does imply that they are at least capable enough for that.

I can certainly see why it would be, but SAM team with Huohuo LC on Gallagher cleared it pretty easy for me. It was dicey on the phase reset, but outside of that
I disliked... was it 11? More. Please stop using Boss Aventurine in cycle based gameplay. He's bad for it.
high geode
It wasn't even hard, I was under no threat of not clearing it because bless Ruan Mei ult resetting weakness breaks, but I could tell it would have taken way longer otherwise and that brings me no small amount of annoyance.
oak hollow
Hm
high geode
Stop. Using him. Or rework gamba party. You cannot have a mechanic that wastes half a cycle and use that boss in cycle based modes.
high geode
If RM ult isn't up, he's a nightmare, because he's so fast that you can't kill him in one weakness break
but if RM ult is up, you can kill him before he gets back up.
I only had to get through one gamba, for instance.
Not even going to mention I'm snoozing over here at it being another break based turbulence.

One day, we'll go back to the interesting ones

Super Break team is surprisingly effective against everything, because implanting weaknesses is balanced. Back in my day that was a niche, with only a percent chance of it happening. Had to actually build effect hit rate on SW.
Who could use some donations she’s been out of a job for months.
oak hollow
I'm so tempted to build hybrid DPS SW
Just so she can def down and do some solid damage
high geode
I’ve tried it. It’s ok? She really held back by needing effect hit rate to guarantee implant, since that’s the whole reason to use her
high geode
There was a calc for it when she came out, I have no idea what it is now.
oak hollow
Can't ditch the EHR chest piece, unless I go for it in subs

It that’s why her event LC was actually ‘better’ than her signature

It gives a fixed 8 energy when hitting a debuffed enemy
