||Ranged Kalpass is SW's next boss||

[rich yacht]

ok i have to lock in then

[native vine]

time to SSS SW then

[fair talon]

me run

probably shows most uses on that boss

HoC has better examples on how to do higher hitcounts

[rich yacht]

what rank in ur sw?

[fair talon]

SSS+3

[rich yacht]

oh of course

[fair talon]

team is S0+1

[rich yacht]

[fair talon]

SSS BY

i kinda went hard for the first time this patch

[rich yacht]

[fair talon]

i swear it was just for da bronya

[fossil sun]

At least it's just a whale

And not a golden whale

[fair talon]

and no i'm not backpulling weapon syncs

[fossil sun]

Like the other dude I meant last month who spent 4k usd

met**

[fair talon]

i wish i had that money

would buy a hit on some RAM scalper

[elfin yacht]

[fossil sun]

Too little money for a hit

But that would be enough to locate the scalper and "lean" his ram storage

loan**

[fair talon]

for legal reasons this is a joke

[native vine]

i feel like this could be 800

[copper tundra]

Me if I could pull HoRb syncs

[native vine]

tho im no expert

[paper lance]

For legal reasons too, they never get grabbed

[oak schooner]

yuna stop slacking abyss

[elfin yacht]

[fair talon]

you're right, this run can be better by a lot

[hearty crypt]

That's an interesting way to clear it ngl

[fair talon]

credit asaphie

i got it from his ref

raven struggled with dk sync 1, not enough damage to do it this way

[fossil sun]

Damn

[fair talon]

bro is playing a women only game

[native vine]

kek

[copper tundra]

I probably could have gotten a better score at the time but was using S3 SW

[native vine]

dude hieu got 809 with p1 supports on SW lead with DS

how you get that with lower dist

[fair talon]

yes but did you actually look at how kira stomped transition?

[copper tundra]

I had issues with Transition

[native vine]

tbh when i saw kira i was like wtf

she still relevant

kek

[native vine]

ik im just jk

[copper tundra]

[native vine]

i couldn't even mald cuz power went out

[primal aurora]

I skipped Kira gears for HRB

And that decision is STILL biting me in the ass

[fair talon]

she was just the original hp loss shill

[fossil sun]

[native vine]

[fair talon]

and on SSS it's a significant boost in hp loss

[copper tundra]

If only one of the other Valks in my team had HP loss besides the fooking leader

[native vine]

my favorite outfit for bronya is still the default

its just perfect

[fair talon]

vita is playable but i still dont like her

[native vine]

[native vine]

same

[fossil sun]

[copper tundra]

No Bita though

[primal aurora]

Vita mech still running on Windows 7

[fair talon]

i'm saying this with s1 vita

she's a struggle to get going

[copper tundra]

[fair talon]

slow ass

[copper tundra]

Hope she gets a replacement

[fair talon]

past the first SO at least

[fossil sun]

At least you have S1

[primal aurora]

[fossil sun]

[fair talon]

the top-up event is not worth the stamps

trust me

[copper tundra]

[fair talon]

i did it for other plans

[primal aurora]

I was kinda stoked to get S1 Vita

Until I saw I needed to top up 6400 Bchips, to which I promptly said “fuck no”

[fair talon]

i honestly always feel kinda scammed going for top-up bonuses

[fossil sun]

It's not, I'd need to get at least 5 stamps to get her to a functional state

(Aka. S2)

[copper tundra]

The stamps do nothing for me

[fair talon]

that makes her functional for MA

[fossil sun]

In terms of xtals, there is no xtals

[fair talon]

s1 is the breach buffs on support

[fossil sun]

[copper tundra]

Youyun ate all of mine

[wet fiber]

why is mining in the event is so addicting

[fossil sun]

It could, but I want to try Hot Yandere Woman + Vita S2+ Elysia remake

[copper tundra]

Should be fun right?

[fossil sun]

Something like this:

What can go wrong, not like I can go down to A3 right?

[copper tundra]

[fair talon]

s2 really doesn't do too much for that

it's just dps buffs and time fracture

[fossil sun]

Could try Coralie I guess

[copper tundra]

@unique scarab quite late but congrats on getting in T50

[fossil sun]

Although I suspect it would be the same pizzle

[fair talon]

you mean for next abyss?

no, stay with thelema

huodou has 2* ice weakness

[copper tundra]

Isn’t houdou fire resistant?

[fossil sun]

I was talking about Vita

[fair talon]

he's not resistant

[harsh cargo]

My vita ss3

[copper tundra]

Thought he was but alright

Or am I thinking of hellmaru

[fair talon]

no matter which coralie you mean, she doesn't fit into that team

nor on that boss

only way i can think you mean is vita dps but then again, ice weakness

you're forced to use ice and it's a type counter weather, so MECH is recommended

[copper tundra]

Gonna use XDC

My Thel S0

[fossil sun]

Havent read sht about next abyss so I was kinda guessing lol

[fair talon]

would attempt s0 either way

[fossil sun]

In any case, I need to look for a way to get that Vita S2

[copper tundra]

Even if low attack?

[fair talon]

well now you know

[fair talon]

it's her boss still

[fossil sun]

[fair talon]

actually, maybe HLE lead could perform better

[copper tundra]

XDC FWS HLE?

[fair talon]

hle lead

again, medium ice weakness

so 66% more damage from ice

[copper tundra]

HLE FDD XDC?

[fair talon]

yeah

you're still playing into huodou's type counter

should be alright to do that team

[copper tundra]

Thelema is now at 1462

[copper tundra]

Equal to XDC

[fair talon]

eh, what can you do

[copper tundra]

Not much

[fair talon]

one of my affixes on sw is also still trash

despite all the ways i've tried to get more locks

[copper tundra]

Ig I'll try thel
If that doesn't work then HLE or XDC lead

[fair talon]

i can already tell you, thel will need more effort to work but it's not impossible that she is still better

[copper tundra]

Thelema Rita HLE

[fair talon]

yeah

solid team

[fossil sun]

Anybody have stigmata recomendation for red seele?

[fair talon]

for what exactly?

[fossil sun]

Wanted to get her Ana but I am not really quite sure

[fair talon]

is it for trials?

[fossil sun]

Have her be DPS

[fair talon]

in Abyss?

[fossil sun]

I use her for everything, perhaps except MA and Abyss

[fair talon]

okay i almost got scared

[fossil sun]

While this may sound as an extinct player, I do manual SIM Battles, adventure tasks and sometimes manual resources too

[fair talon]

ah shit i forgot

new story out

[fossil sun]

Go

[copper tundra]

I haven't started it yet either

[fair talon]

manual sim battle is respectable

[fossil sun]

For thee shall enjoy the story hopefully

[fair talon]

everything else needs no efforts though

although there is no SIM battle where you use Nyx

[fossil sun]

In my imagination there is

I replace Himeko with red seele using the last braincell I have alive

[fair talon]

[copper tundra]

[fossil sun]

[fair talon]

low poly seele looks like she has eyebags

[copper tundra]

I think she just has those cause HoRb looks like she has them

[fossil sun]

I aspire to be like this player when I grow up

[plain raven]

Get this girl to a bed ASAP

[copper tundra]

[fair talon]

1 and 3 are farmable, horb however.. good luck

[fossil sun]

Should also get her to a bed too

Probably

[fair talon]

maybe someday in WT

[plain raven]

That one is intentional, Seele's isn't (the point)

[copper tundra]

Probably just blush, but looks like her eye bags got worst

[fair talon]

totally hiding her eye bags

[copper tundra]

Kek

[plain raven]

Caked on makeup to look fashionable (she hasn't seen a pillow in 3 days)

[fair talon]

it's like she absorbs all the tiredness from bronya

[brisk quail]

I mean

[fair talon]

doesn't fix her eyes however

[fossil sun]

You sure about that?

[brisk quail]

Doctors are always tired

[fossil sun]

I am pretty sure I see some eyebags there

[fair talon]

the Zaychik family doesn't sleep

not even project bunny

[plain raven]

She is the CEO of the company, no time to ever sleep

[fossil sun]

TruE~

[copper tundra]

This one definitely does get sleep

[fair talon]

sleeps so she can tear shit up once awake

literally

[copper tundra]

Don't question the scythe she's holding

[fossil sun]

Let's not ignore that eye though

[fair talon]

if you know veliona's origin, it's not that surprising

[fossil sun]

I guess that eye should get some sleep, right?

[fair talon]

cursed

[fossil sun]

What bloody attrocity I am witnessing

[fair talon]

(i do the same)

[copper tundra]

I don't have hers kek

[fair talon]

yeah same, dks are the modern copium

although i cleared her trials with less...

[fossil sun]

Thou shall not sin, for the lord will bestow punishment upon your actions

[copper tundra]

Rate the HoRb

[terse spruce]

Bad/bad

[fair talon]

for anyone curious, did it with this and Ana

[fossil sun]

I declare she needs some Russian Magic Water*

[copper tundra]

[copper tundra]

Bleed scythe

[fair talon]

it's the best 3* scythe atk-wise

sadly still limited, but time capsule happened

[fossil sun]

Man I really hope there would be a happy ending between ||Ana & Owl|| anywhere in the hoyoverse

[fair talon]

i dont even know if those exist outside hi3

[fossil sun]

It's depressing witnessing the same tragedy and be powerless to do anything

[fair talon]

okay fine, i know ONE game where at least one exists

but not both

[copper tundra]

HSR?

[fair talon]

you could say, some things are destined to happen no matter what

[fair talon]

yes ||Cocolia incident and all||

[copper tundra]

Tbh that's a combination of two characters

[fair talon]

mhm

not the first time

nor the last

[copper tundra]

True

[fair talon]

it was all so clear to me after i learned about hi3

[fossil sun]

No brother, I will let this self-excusing lies cloud my judgment and fantasize about an ending... that never happened nor will happen.

[fair talon]

it's like THE crossroads between old and new

[fossil sun]

Just like ||Otto x Kallen|| didn't happen here

[copper tundra]

[fair talon]

into the fanfiction corner you go

[fossil sun]

Not even in facfiction they're happy bro

[copper tundra]

Kek

[fossil sun]

I feel like captain trying to save Kongming

Except that we remove the part where ||he managed to do it||

[copper tundra]

Jesus

[fossil sun]

Does somebody have sparkle here? lol

[fair talon]

yes hello

[copper tundra]

Many do

[fossil sun]

Send it over

[fair talon]

no

[fossil sun]

[copper tundra]

I don't cause I started the game after her banner was gone

[plain raven]

Thel lead vs SW lead

[fair talon]

wait the latter is SW

okay that makes sense

i just didnt think the point difference is that high

[plain raven]

This is the SW team used

And my F2P team

[fair talon]

wait so SW IS the first team

wtf

[plain raven]

Huh?

[vocal swan]

Rate my line up 😎

[plain raven]

Ram

SW is 597, I'm 831

Cmon man

[copper tundra]

The SW team is the 597 lol

[paper lance]

That is a sad time to not have Sena and Rita

[copper tundra]

Almost 500 days

[fair talon]

yeah okay, got confused because your nickname hovered the Thel account in both screenshots

my bad

[copper tundra]

[plain raven]

[paper lance]

How much for Mei ?

[plain raven]

I have performed the silly

[fair talon]

is it even profitable anymore atp

[plain raven]

👑

[fossil sun]

Just 98 days for 1200 Days

[paper lance]

Queen

[copper tundra]

Gonna be using:
S0+1 Thelema, Rita, HLE SS Youyun
S0+1 HLE XDC S2+1 FDD SS Chenxue
S0+1 XDC FWS HLE SS Chenxue
This cycle to see what scores the best

[fair talon]

i mean i got the ss1 but after that?

[paper lance]

HLE lead in a type weather ?

[copper tundra]

Ice weakness

[paper lance]

Still

[fair talon]

my suggestion, in case thel s0 with low atk sucks too much

[copper tundra]

My Thel and XDC have equal attack

[fair talon]

she shouldn't, but still a thing to try if things dont work out

[copper tundra]

[paper lance]

Wouldn't XDC just be better at this point ?

With HLE in support

[fair talon]

medium ice weakness

no, xdc does not work better

i dont believe that tbh

type counter 50% yes, but getting the weakness in is also a factor to consider

if it was only light weakness, sure go xdc for type countering

[fossil sun]

Man I miss that top up event where you got discount for using VISA

[copper tundra]

I'm also in Nirv

[fossil sun]

What the hell there is a dude called Pro Ely Simp fr

[copper tundra]

Probably doesn't change much though

[fossil sun]

lol

[fair talon]

me with mastercard

[plain raven]

LMFAO nevermind 831

[paper lance]

Yes

[copper tundra]

[fossil sun]

I own Mastercard, Visa, AMEX and Discover so I only see benefits lol

[copper tundra]

I own no debit card

[plain raven]

I got Thel from S->SS3, from Battlepass, topup rewards and supply shop

Never pulled dupes

[copper tundra]

Mine might stay S0

[fair talon]

same with ss1

[fossil sun]

I see this as a challenge, I shall pass thou gorgeous Thelema

Eventually

[fair talon]

i caved into the bp character deal after all

[plain raven]

Good lad

[fair talon]

all i didnt pick up was weapon syncs

[plain raven]

The Thelema should never be a Dilemma

[sly swift]

Just whel bro

[fair talon]

her being a weaponless dilemma for me in the beginning was enough

[plain raven]

SynIII also not from pulling weapon dupes

SS3+3 without dupes. We balled

[fossil sun]

Bloody hell, such attrocities

[fair talon]

1 Euro store senadina

[fossil sun]

You dont have to whale to have her like that

Let me show you;

[fair talon]

wait, you went for syn 2 on that free syn box?

[ivory gazelle]

cap for thel at s3+1 is 842

[plain raven]

Yuh, and then Sync3 from BP

[fair talon]

i see

well, i've had to pick dks

no syncs for me

[sly swift]

I wish it wasn't 20 balls the weapon

[fossil sun]

And soon, I shall have Thelema SSS and S3

[copper tundra]

It'll eventually be 10

[sly swift]

Next year

[paper lance]

HLE brings literally a breach bonus for XDC though ? In addition of Rime Trauma ?

[copper tundra]

Once they're in reserve

[plain raven]

Oh right, hit this back on May 9th

[copper tundra]

Wrong passive bro

[paper lance]

[fair talon]

there is nothing extra to breach aside from base resistances

that every enemy has

[paper lance]

Rip

[sly swift]

Not fossil enough

[fair talon]

huodou has no resistances if he stays the same as last time

not that huodou at least

[fossil sun]

Wait, there is an emoji of Bronya drinking magic russian water?

[paper lance]

Lacking 30 frags for SS1

[plain raven]

[copper tundra]

Would have thought Houdou had fire resistance for reasons but guess not

[plain raven]

Im sorry

[ivory gazelle]

thel ranks aren't really meaningful in rl for this cycle, if you're not super high setup, ur gated by ult cd, so 842

[stoic dagger]

houdo, use Mei S0 or thelema S2 guys??

[ivory gazelle]

mei

[plain raven]

Birthday in 2 days

My IRL fossilisation continues

[stoic dagger]

okey

[paper lance]

True

[copper tundra]

Guessing I use Mei too since both are S0

[fossil sun]

[copper tundra]

Cabbaged

[fossil sun]

Alright, Room 1 is as business as usual

Oh well, time for me to join too

[sly swift]

Pushing 37

[paper lance]

Bro will turn 37 damn boi

[sly swift]

Glitch? What glitch?

[paper lance]

The Qween char

[coarse kiln]

Hp wouldn't go down after the part 2 coagulation phase until people restarted the game

[wet fiber]

hi Luna

[native vine]

2 rocks in one day less gooooo

[coarse kiln]

hihi~

[coarse kiln]

lucky, i've been hitting like 3/4ths pity on like all of them xD

[native vine]

ooof

now i suffer with 2%-1%

[coarse kiln]

mhmm thats the one im on right now too and im not expecting to get out of it for a week lol

[native vine]

same ig

[unique scarab]

yeah same

only at 11% rn

[meager torrent]

[chrome ocean]

Finally order from mihoyo Shop
Bought in february, I can't wait for luna ring

[copper tundra]

Finality Ring and Origin Ring

[native vine]

see you in a year for the next rock

i know i can 800 but i'm having skill issue

[tribal owl]

f2p question -- does it makes sense to grind SSS white comet / standard valks and focus spending to optimize their weapons/stigmatas or a good S valk will just completely outplay them in terms of overall usefulness for mid-late game content?

been thinking a lot about how to spend the early we receive as new players and from story mode

[copper tundra]

White comet is garbo

The usual advice is pull the newest release

[unique scarab]

Grinding old valks is nice to do in the long run because if you already have an A rank at SSS when you pull them on the gacha, you get extra stardust

but this is fairly minor

[pliant anchor]

a good s valk crushes any sss white comet or other battlesuit , i got sss shadow dash myself and i just did that for the outfit . so its only good for getting those outfits , rather than that a good s tier valk like herrschers can definitely dominate those

[unique scarab]

so you absolutely shouldn't rush

and no need for gear

[pulsar jolt]

if you are f2p you should never spend xtals on anything that isnt on the launcher image (i.e. newest valk)

[copper tundra]

I mean ranking Valks also good for dorm level but it's only base a ranks and s ranks

[tribal owl]

so i probably should finish all story and then spend 30k crystals to garantee a newest valk because it'll probably outplay those valks you get from expeditions etc.?

[pulsar jolt]

the current patch has no new valk tho there is silverwings dkey, it might be worthwhile to grab

rule of thumb to keep in mind anything you can get for free / farm without spending crystals is completely outdated garbage

[copper tundra]

Think we suggest a person starting the game in 8.8 to pull on one of the starter banners since they won't have SW immediately

[unique scarab]

For beginners advice is to either pull Badum from starter banner or save

fdd from starter banner also okay

[coarse kiln]

In general the newest valk performs better than valks even a couple of years ago and absolutely performs better than anything from 10 years ago. Dont get too fooled by the whole SSS thing since that isnt a direct representation of their capabilities

[pulsar jolt]

definitely save lol

pulling badum is cooked atp

[unique scarab]

spending weeks with 0 valks is rlly rough and starters without gacha valks are gonna have to skip dkey anyway

[pulsar jolt]

silverwing dkey is much better pull target for its very cheap

[copper tundra]

We're already in week 3 so yeah

[unique scarab]

better badum you can use than a brick

[pulsar jolt]

brick where

[unique scarab]

if you started last patch yeah SW dkey good

but if u start this patch u aint gettign SW

[copper tundra]

Yeah they won't have her immediately

[unique scarab]

because AL income before breaking through is like

0

and breaking through with no gacha valks is also bricked

[copper tundra]

The DKey is really just a +10 attack before they get SW

[pulsar jolt]

ok..?

[thick cedar]

The 10 atk will carry trust

[copper tundra]

[unique scarab]

SW dkey is a much worse pull than badum then

[pulsar jolt]

absolute trolling to recommend badum or fdd though

[pulsar jolt]

im gonna disagree on that

[unique scarab]

now obviously ideally you'd reroll ofc. But it's not even close

SW dkey is just spendign crystals for nothing

Pulling on starter banner is spending crystals inneficiently for immediate performance, pulling dkey is spending crystals for no benefit

[pulsar jolt]

ok im gonna stop here before i say something so rude that will get me temp banned

[proper plank]

why not perma?

[thick cedar]

Sw is mid ss youyun shil anyways

Just skip regardless

[proper plank]

you need to be more ambitious paulao

[copper tundra]

[copper tundra]

[tribal owl]

At least its clear that the white comet SSS is a terrible idea; newer valks outplay the old ones, so to complete end game content, they'll perform better thus make life easier. Thanks everyone for their contribution

[copper tundra]

[fair talon]

the newer, the longer the lifespan in the meta they usually have

while support usually outlasts their dps use by a lot

[copper tundra]

Flipping Badum

[pulsar jolt]

i dont have the skills for that

i should learn from my friend he got permabanned from LoL like 7 times already always shouting some slurs

[sick talon]

chill daddy chill🤣

[crisp briar]

daddy???

[thick cedar]

Why are you friends with someone who shouts slurs?

[copper tundra]

[sick talon]

he helps me so much that hes literally a father figure now

[pulsar jolt]

because if i cut every friendship over some singular flaw soon i wouldnt have any friends

[proper plank]

https://tenor.com/view/daddy-chill-gif-4825138080902567122

you were surely referencing this xddddd

[sick talon]

xD

[proper plank]

ask ches he knows

[fair talon]

But I also see your opinion being valid with skipping starter banner entirely as usual. Me personally I think FDD is good to have for more teams compared to SW (You're not covering anything on SW in GoI while FDD remains the BiS in many cases) and this is why I think starter banner is the play. But aside AR attributes, SW will have a longer lifespan and who knows when FDD is getting axed atp

as for FWS, i used to go towards her for her fast WS usage but she kinda fell off for that and got many replacements

[pulsar jolt]

sure fdd is near the top of list if you go whaling and backpulling but i dont think f2p can afford her

[fair talon]

they can afford at least 1 valk + weapon from their beginner bonuses as a f2p. but yes, not pulling at all in your first patch is also a good way to learn the game first and then you still have crystals when you're wiser

if that's your suggestion

[unique scarab]

You can also in general afford someone if you're skipping a patch and newbies probably ought to skip this one

[copper tundra]

Aop not a good pull for them

[unique scarab]

but yeah the other suggestion is try and cope with sena vbm vbs while waiting for next patch

[fair talon]

this is sadly what new people will pull towards, because Youyun is literally the patch mascot

if they dont have any outside guidance

[copper tundra]

They'll think she's the Valkyrie yeah

[fair talon]

i actually dont know that, does astralop supply unlock before lvl 30?

[pulsar jolt]

sure silverwing dkey doesnt immediately solve the problem of "I dont have anything" but i do think it might be a good value pull for the future even if you dont get the valk immediately

especially cause you can farm her from the WT

[fair talon]

yeah i totally go with your idea here

[pulsar jolt]

as opposed to something like horb dkey on the rerun right now? you dont have horb? lol, lmao even

[fair talon]

it's a valid option

[copper tundra]

No free option to get HoRb

[night narwhal]

i remember elfs at level 50

[fair talon]

the valk being farmable and not relying on shit like buying the starter manual bchips deal or (even worse, LTO deals) is great

[fair talon]

this changed to lvl 30

[proper plank]

why can't f2p new players afford fdd?

[fair talon]

with astralop

[night narwhal]

oh dang

interesting

[fair talon]

game gets cracked open entirely on lvl 30 with their chapters too

at this point the handholding stops

[proper plank]

oh wait idt u meant new players nvm

xd

[copper tundra]

I don't think Badum gonna get reruns after this patch

[fair talon]

oh thank god

you can't pull her before unlocking astralops

[copper tundra]

Well that's a good thing

[fair talon]

doesn't solve the misleading message entirely but yeah

[copper tundra]

[pulsar jolt]

as a new player i would rather keep the beginner crystals as variance buffer to ensure that i do not have to skip anything for like a year or two

[night narwhal]

still gonna be tempting for newbies that still don't know lol

even ppl that breakthrough can still not know anything

[crisp briar]

another day of resisting the urge to pull yy

[fair talon]

you're a patient and rational person though who knows the game. There's a lot of newcomers who are impulsive and pull because pretty and cute

[copper tundra]

[fair talon]

then they later realize they want into meta but their account is already kinda ruined on their headstart

(this is how i started btw)

[copper tundra]

Same

[night narwhal]

||think about the shiny new seele that can deal with qua too ykykyk
look at that spending rewards cmon||

[terse spruce]

No need to resist if u dont have any crystal

[pulsar jolt]

fdds value is questionable right now too seems we are in the world star era (that fdd can not support properly) and who knows what kind of new gigamega support they introduce when they shift to either LoA or new ring after

[copper tundra]

Well kinda I thought HoRb was meta still

[crisp briar]

||and i just have to brackets where everyone and their mom has yy||

[pulsar jolt]

"shift to LoA" ill take my coat and head out

[night narwhal]

||and then you have bracket with new seele and qua to deal with ||

[crisp briar]

what about FWS

[night narwhal]

honestly i think fws is a nice choice for newbies
at least as a reroll target

[pulsar jolt]

reroll sure

[copper tundra]

Hoyo wanting to revive WS right now

[pulsar jolt]

though rerolling both valk and wep is

[night narwhal]

fdd does have the upper advantage of having good slot right away though

[pulsar jolt]

low odds

[night narwhal]

honestly idk if newbies should breakthrough this patch
nor do i think getting sena's weap from reserve is gonna help em much

[crisp briar]

they gotta breakthrough anyway

[night narwhal]

now sw right on the slot though

and even in q mani they can struggle with getting the gacha valk

[pulsar jolt]

not breaking through is crazy talk

[night narwhal]

what are they gonna do in superstring though

[pulsar jolt]

same thing they do in masters

[crisp briar]

just do

[copper tundra]

Die?

[fair talon]

i agree with paul, the fear is unjustified if it's coming from someone who wants to go meta

[night narwhal]

yeah exactly

weapless sena aint gonna help

weapless starter valk won't either

[crisp briar]

first they bounce A3-RL until they can retain RL properly

[fair talon]

but otherwise, a casual will enjoy q-manifold more probably

[night narwhal]

i don't think going to sinful is meaningful either

[fair talon]

if they do not care about max potential on their valks and just want to play

the namesake "breakthrough" kinda speaks for itself

[pulsar jolt]

but they are probably already sinful in masters anyway

[night narwhal]

people as is complain about agony when theyre still new to breakthrough and even for a long while until their acc is developed enough

[copper tundra]

Me when I broke through

[crisp briar]

ngl you gotta make terrible pull decisions if you breakthrough into sinful

[night narwhal]

i vaguely remember that the crystal value is better if they can maintain q mani easily but if they can't they'll have a worse time on superstring for the cost of slightly less xtals because they can't perform

usually they would be send to agony otherwise

[night narwhal]

that's fair though

[crisp briar]

isn't A3 around the same regards as q-mani RL?

[copper tundra]

Yeah

[night narwhal]

yeah

[pulsar jolt]

the income should be roughly equivalent when you breakthrough like if you are maintaining rl in manifold then you should be fine in a3 superstring etc.

[proper plank]

yeah fair long term it's prob better but earlygame is such a fucking slog now because you literally have no team infrastructure for like a year, I can't imagine it's fun to constantly have no compatible supports when there's one singular copium option (coralie)

[night narwhal]

the thing is
one u just need to clear
the other u need to compete
and ppl there will have the gear
even if they're skill issued

[paper lance]

Me waiting for 8.9

[night narwhal]

honestly even for ppl that broke through with one gacha valk, being stuck with one valk with a halfassed team is tiring

[fair talon]

i probably only coped through because i like coralie

[crisp briar]

i mean just deal with it

[night narwhal]

wouldve felt better if goi or loa wasn't so stricted on having the right ring or we had another vbm

[crisp briar]

it is what it is

[fair talon]

and used her everywhere anyway

[night narwhal]

they can't lmao

that's like throwing a child into fire

[pulsar jolt]

unironically free sena this patch helps a lot with this especially considering the whole rest of the year will be just world star shill

sol if you start next patch tho

[night narwhal]

the only good thing is the free sena yeah
and game going through its ws phase

[copper tundra]

Again

[pulsar jolt]

also good reason to consider bronyas dkey, its just ~50 pulls (xtal wise) for a complete valk

[crisp briar]

tbf WS was the only right that didn't get 3 valks back to back

[night narwhal]

this is a lot better than some p1 valk who might get a dkey patches later lmao

[pulsar jolt]

its ok we doing that now

[copper tundra]

They were very spread

[crisp briar]

[copper tundra]

Well Spork and Teri are almost back to back

Vita in between them

[night narwhal]

ig it makes sense bc 7.3 gave you a team already
it's not like wod that started with an incomplete team
but at the same time maybe they were just testing the waters

also funny that vbs and sena are the only ws that have their own resonance system lmao

[night narwhal]

god to think about this lmao

puting qua in there is such a joke

[crisp briar]

it did start with an incomplete team tho

7.4 was Thel Sena VBm

[night narwhal]

yeah i know

i said that

[crisp briar]

i can't read sarcasm

[night narwhal]

at least thel was made to work in that sense

[pulsar jolt]

beta valks pls understand

[night narwhal]

[night narwhal]

there's no sarcasm

[crisp briar]

it's not like

[pulsar jolt]

and for the sin of these two valks they have to add additional skill to every new ws valk forever

[copper tundra]

Lantern then proceeded to replace VBm

[night narwhal]

gotta love when you see hoyo's thought process on live

[copper tundra]

What was the Sena team in 7.4?

[fair talon]

this assumes you started in lantern patch

[pulsar jolt]

every. ws. valk.

[fair talon]

or have her at all

[night narwhal]

sena vbs thel

[copper tundra]

[copper tundra]

Meant for Thel's team back then

[fair talon]

yeah it's not optimal. they could change how WS works entirely with the new system

[night narwhal]

type for type smh /s

[fair talon]

and leave the text out for good

the thing with reso mark devouring can also be shortened

make it something like "excessive reso trigger dmg"

[night narwhal]

literally means sena started with a complete team, thel didn't
read the "wod that started with an incomplete team)

[crisp briar]

im a gacha player

[night narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/no-disappointed-smh-shake-my-head-oh-brother-gif-6826525774079143920

[crisp briar]

i can't read (im blind)

[pulsar jolt]

that depends on your definition of complete team, i mean we have rita and surplus now for her

[fair talon]

thel got sena and vbm, this is 2/3

on her release

[pulsar jolt]

its 3/3 leader skill and the second ghost was never needed to maintain rondo for her whole ult so

[proper plank]

yeah true but she's not particularly great for ws lol they decided after her time they they all just detonate the shit out of one resonance mark

[pulsar jolt]

adding lantern was arguably not that useful other than generally being better valk than vbm

[proper plank]

but better than helia

[night narwhal]

i mean by her release patch though
sena got vbm and vbs to have one part 2 team
thel did introduce us the use of OS since with sena we didn't get to test that

unless you mean something else

[fair talon]

but no phantom damage on rondo trigger for vbm

so the order of using either mattered

[pulsar jolt]

sure but it was just a minor dmg loss

[night narwhal]

that's why thel was designed like that
which is good to hear

[pulsar jolt]

nothing like lmao you dont have heavenly shift tag in loa team

[fair talon]

okay true

loa is where things went downhill with the copium

[night narwhal]

loa and goi requirement is awful
literally could've just gave us a weak version that can deal with those rings or something 😭

[copper tundra]

LoA and GoI both

[night narwhal]

the only cheap equivalent are the dkeys but the issue of needing the dkey and the valk to be free

[fair talon]

people skipped lantern over this weaker version

[copper tundra]

Give us A ranks with Symbiosis and Heavenly Shift hoyo!

[night narwhal]

at least lamp got this emoji
god bless her

[fair talon]

she deserves better

[pulsar jolt]

genuinely would be nice for new players

[copper tundra]

Yes

[fair talon]

make vbs a goi valk and give youyun a ws valk

[night narwhal]

give its to vbs

helia slander was insane back then

[copper tundra]

She'd have a use now at least

[night narwhal]

thank you paws for clearing your name

[night narwhal]

as the throwaway valk but slightly useful because dr

[fair talon]

the slander was so hard, i feel like her character development arc was affected by it

[night narwhal]

at least ||seele being lighting does help tho, but still a throwaway valk compared to early p2||

[night narwhal]

real

[fair cedar]

"Omg shes so slow..."

[night narwhal]

also funny for me to remember when sena vbs sci being a team but only lasted one patch thx vita and hofi

[copper tundra]

Kek

[pulsar jolt]

good old helibad

[night narwhal]

[copper tundra]

PAWS beats those allegations now

[pulsar jolt]

did we ever use paws support for anything else than fdd

[copper tundra]

HLE in symphony

[pulsar jolt]

[copper tundra]

SW

Oh no-

Wait*

Furir ydhrfughigig

I did not sleep at all

[night narwhal]

she did have decent uses for MA too
still does but oversaturated by other valks

[crisp briar]

HLE in symphony

PS with lantern

[copper tundra]

Before Rita existed

[unique scarab]

PS also used her in general at release

obv

but we had like 6 shift valks and half of them were awful

[night narwhal]

i don't know the time of paws ps fws felt better than literally the patch after when she got fdd

[crisp briar]

ME feels slow in LoA to me somehow

maybe im just using her wrong

[unique scarab]

she's slow if u do her full reset

so it's sometimes an awkward rot

[copper tundra]

You just qte WA the switch out most of the time

[unique scarab]

but usually it's possible to skip the second set

and her timing is reasonable

[copper tundra]

Or evade WA

[crisp briar]

switch CD:

[unique scarab]

you use the other supp to reset it

[crisp briar]

what if i used the other support already

[ivory gazelle]

its slow but sometimes u can make use of her wa for ari

[unique scarab]

like I said sometimes makes the rot awkward

[ivory gazelle]

her combo was very helpful for my apo cope run back then

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1087728190539169892/1502147713565855744/5d6034a85edf8db10e3bda7c4f23dd54564e7495.gif

[coarse kiln]

gosh this took too long to find but, here you go

[copper tundra]

All I know is ME has pretty good Phys buffs

[night narwhal]

the insta core in a rs team is nice too

even if mse dmg is doodoo in such boss

[copper tundra]

Lightning down yeah

[coarse kiln]

I think every time I copy this the resolution gets worse xD

[night narwhal]

i didn't even like p2 back then until sq arc

[night narwhal]

more, reduce it to one square

[copper tundra]

I didn't know part 2 existed when I started playing

[fair talon]

opposite for me, i used it as a piggyback to get into hi3 story, no strings attached

with the promise of not needing knowledge of all of part 1 for what was already out

[night narwhal]

i didn't read through the early p2 even when i wanted to try because of the yap lmao

glad i went back to it through yt though

otherwise i wouldn't understand shit

[fair talon]

hsr penacony and it's own ER mode (Simulated Universe) lore texts conditioned me to understand the yap

[pulsar jolt]

How far did u get in P1 story after your start last time

[fair talon]

a couple chapters before himeko's last appearance

also sakura samsara

[fair talon]

apho 1 i also played a bit

[crisp briar]

hoyo players when a character explains something: yap

[fair talon]

not ever being done with part 1 is entirely on me however, i was done with part 2 very early since 7.4

[crisp briar]

atp the mere act of talking is yap

[night narwhal]

hours worth of talking mind you
for someone who barely got to do part of part 1 and needed to do part 2 because of rewards

[night narwhal]

yes, more!

[unique scarab]

I got into story via fanfic so on one hand I already cared about the charavters but otoh I had spoilers for literally everything

[fair talon]

i see yap as many new concepts and ideas thrown at you without prior knowledge or very little context

but that was all of hi3 for me anyway

and i was prepared or that experience

[night narwhal]

also didn't help that i had bad influence and ppl confused me about it needing p1 knowledge or not

especially like the very that that shows teri and hofi

[crisp briar]

needing is a huge stretch

[fair talon]

oh yeah, people stopped saying the p1 knowledge thing after p1 stuff actually seeped into p2

[night narwhal]

helia and coralie were talking about herrschers too

[fair talon]

the whole twist in the 3rd chapter was a shock for everyone really

in many different ways

[night narwhal]

worse thing about being told that part 2 means nothing to part 1 but that got proven wrong around chapter 4 because yeah

[night narwhal]

mhm

i do think that's around the time i started to pay attention to part 2 story

[meager torrent]

I forgot what twist

[crisp briar]

based friend ngl

[meager torrent]

[copper tundra]

I will reference this lol

[fair talon]

||mars being a simulation||

[night narwhal]

best decision

[copper tundra]

I did not start playing Hi3 at all for any character

[meager torrent]

[fair talon]

or rather ||mars being all digital lifeforms atp of earth's time||

[crisp briar]

i technically started HI3 for HoRb

[meager torrent]

I started paying attention when we were done with shoes

[night narwhal]

i played hi3 because i had one friend that did and i was asking what to play
i did play gi alongside hi3 tho, also gi collab helped in that

[crisp briar]

but stayed for the game itself

[copper tundra]

I stayed cause of her

[coarse kiln]

What color would this singular pixel be?

[copper tundra]

White and black

[night narwhal]

[night narwhal]

shout-out for fischl for helping my sorry ass during beginner phase fr fr
pew pew is fun

[copper tundra]

HoRb carried me

[coarse kiln]

Fun fact about that, they actually did say that they were going to integrate the old cast into the new story, but I think most people missed that part or forgor or something

I would like more p2 character side stories though

[night narwhal]

oh

[fair talon]

i've had two major nudges from others

• chrismas time 2021/22, met old classmates and one of them needed to sell her old phone. was into hi3 and recommended it to me
• march/april 2023, apprenticeship friend started trying it in breaks, looked at it and asked what the game was and got back to my old classmate's suggestion

apprenticeship friend was one of the friends who started hsr on launch day, along with me

[night narwhal]

ooo

[night narwhal]

sadly my friend quit hi3 forever ago even when i returned, i went back to em to ask for advice but they could barely help because they didn't keep up with the news anymore

[copper tundra]

Started the game just to play it
Stayed for HoRb

[night narwhal]

also they didn't know anything about p2

[fair talon]

funny enough, i don't like bronya rand as much as zaychik in hi3

i was more a fan of silver wolf

[copper tundra]

Silver Wolf is more closer to Zaychik

[fair talon]

and i loved qingque for some odd reason

sadly no counterpart in hi3

[copper tundra]

[night narwhal]

i dunno if i had a fav character back then
i guess i liked sushang a bit
i don't hate her but i have no form of connection to her

i remember getting Sena just for the jk skin lmao

[copper tundra]

I didn't either technically?
Might have been any Kiana Herrscher battlesuit but that of course changed

[night narwhal]

funny how i didn't like part 2 but didn't mind helia

[fair talon]

same experience with the apprenticeship friend but more short-lived. they literally only tried the game for a week at best

[night narwhal]

helia goat fr (unbiased trust)

[coarse kiln]

granted I will give everyone a pass because it was definintely not like front and center in the presentations, but i could have sword it was mentioned somewhere

[fair talon]

i've told people how much i like hi3 but nobody was eager to jump onto it with me

[night narwhal]

awh

[fair talon]

and that old classmate is a lost contact atp

[copper tundra]

I believe I felt neutral towards Part 2 besides on how the maps lagged my phone

[night narwhal]

i haven't talked about hi3 to irls or anything tbh

[fair talon]

she was still playing around badums release though when i met her again

[night narwhal]

even to my other online friends i don't tend to talk that much about it and just send to specific chats lmao

i believe my friend quit the game in 2023

[fair talon]

i like to think we interacted in room 1 someday and neither knew who was who

[indigo tangle]

is it just me or is solo xdc the fastest way to clear the bio mob stages

[night narwhal]

i do technically have contact with them but they're too busy touching grass rn

[copper tundra]

The friend that told me to play Hi3 over GI doesn't play the game much other

[night narwhal]

oh fun fact my friend was a bronya and himeko enjoyer

[copper tundra]

My friend was a trio and Elysia enjoyer
Probably also some others

[fair talon]

not just you, there's nothing faster than instakill

[copper tundra]

This

[night narwhal]

it is faster than being concerned about retriggering support buffs

and being able to execute when its up

[cobalt oar]

[tired hazel]

shes as beautiful as the day i first saw her

[waxen comet]

this is bullying at this point...

[plain raven]

[native vine]

what if i dun have rita?

[waxen comet]

cope with xdc?

i mean.. why not\

[night narwhal]

can someone suggest me a funny setup for xdc side stage

[night narwhal]

(dont suggest proper teams btw)

[waxen comet]

just xdc

with lv 1 weapon

[night narwhal]

alr did that many times now 😔

[waxen comet]

er.. hare with full team?

[copper tundra]

[waxen comet]

or mobius

[night narwhal]

dont have hare or proper p1 teams sadly
it does need xdc lead tho

idc about stigs or weap

[copper tundra]

XDC Rita Thelema

[night narwhal]

oh? whats the catch?

[night narwhal]

like i did one with kiana and mei event stigs only

[copper tundra]

Use Seewe event stigs

[waxen comet]

bruh

i just go without any stig at all

[night narwhal]

i did full mei too

[copper tundra]

[night narwhal]

also xdc b rank mei and kiana

[plain raven]

[night narwhal]

i dont use em for dmg lmao

[waxen comet]

at this point.. just go with all B rank valk

and stay alive

[night narwhal]

thats eazy

[copper tundra]

[night narwhal]

[plain raven]

All B-ranks, no stigs, 2* weapon

Piece of cake™

[fair talon]

use unleveled proto blade for extra low atk flex

[plain raven]

[fair talon]

worse than stock katana

[night narwhal]

can i downgrade xdc or pretend she isnt s

[waxen comet]

[night narwhal]

this is my default

[waxen comet]

we need dev to make something that can downgrade valk for us

[night narwhal]

banger -2!

[waxen comet]

the sidestage were joke for xdc

[night narwhal]

i love it

[waxen comet]

they should add 1 phys crab there

for extra suffering

[night narwhal]

okay i maybe cooking (they have no gear)

[rich yacht]

thats way too evil

[plain raven]

Qua Crab

[rich yacht]

they saw everyone soloing the side stages with xdc so they add one psy mob

[waxen comet]

btw.. i already did send a rot..

[night narwhal]

[waxen comet]

tho.. no need sena to comeout

[rich yacht]

dont worry

[plain raven]

Sena slows me down

[waxen comet]

never see a sun again rot

[rich yacht]

i will only do abyss on sunday

[plain raven]

Idk what that says

But Sena BADGE

[rich yacht]

sena bullying is not tolerated here, please Leave

[waxen comet]

[plain raven]

She is cool otherwise, she makes my Thel do 400K ticks in her ult

ME does ~375K

Damage mogged frfr

[waxen comet]

the heck that alot

[rich yacht]

[night narwhal]

||is this a reference for the suspiciously looking sena thats coming out next patch||

[plain raven]

||For legal purposes, I plead the fifth ||

[waxen comet]

my poor sena just S3

[night narwhal]

surely this is that mei kiana elysia team people are talking about /s

[waxen comet]

[plain raven]

Mine's S2

[night narwhal]

mine's s0

[narrow lake]

I'm actually so glad, that Vita have one true friend, which actually care about her( )

[brittle plume]

Wrong mei

[night narwhal]

cant change sadly

[proper plank]

Level ur tuna sword wtf

[night narwhal]

[bright galleon]

A little late but. Absolutely excelent

You can check the schedule in #💁gameplay-help pins

Next patch's schedule is in #🔮cn-gameplay-discussion pins

[tropic stump]

guys be frfr now

would this have aura?

with lights and all

[hearty crypt]

Yes, it would be so powerful that anyone seeing it would immediately run

[tropic stump]

i think i would have tremendous aura

[tropic stump]

e-even the cute barista ive been talking too?

-# i infact do not talk to a barista right now

[night narwhal]

gad damn, locking them and all, at leave give them food or somethingy

[tropic stump]

[night narwhal]

i mean..

[brittle plume]

Oh neooo

[tropic stump]

there

proof i treat them right

[fair talon]

whats mei's pizza?

[tropic stump]

i think mei mei got a chicken one with hollondaise

[night narwhal]

where's the noodles and endless pile of snacks behind kiana?

[fallen zinc]

Wow insain to see domino's they stoped selling in my country

[fair talon]

eh, the prices suck anyway compared to their pizza sizes

[fallen zinc]

I use to love em when I was younger

[tropic stump]

well mei mei and i organized them in a nice big billy shelf

[fallen zinc]

Ill never know the taste again

[tropic stump]

pat pat

[tropic stump]

im sure a neighboring country has a dominos

[night narwhal]

hmm alright

[tropic stump]

u dont believe do ya?

[fallen zinc]

Smuggling domonos across borders

[night narwhal]

me have em here but nothing beats home cooking 😋

[night narwhal]

no no its alright

[fair talon]

home-made is still best

[fallen zinc]

Wow global actually got a crystal compensation

[fair talon]

yes, apparently last abyss cycle had an hp bug

[fallen zinc]

Theres small places that make wood fire pizzas but they so far away they so yummy

[fair talon]

invincible clock in phase 2, full conditions idk

i've heard it was a SEA only bug due to higher disturbance numbers but i don't fully buy that

[night narwhal]

i didnt see mail idk if i got it but its covered by other mail tho

[fallen zinc]

It only got sent now i got it in the mail

[night narwhal]

im in story ill check later

[sick talon]

It might only affect people with lower dmg, struggling to clear that phase. Never happened to me

[fallen zinc]

Too tired for the story now ill do it tommr

[fair talon]

how low exactly
