[past ibex]

Your break teams look pretty good at least

[lavish coral]

i think investing into more support lcs would have been more useful

[past ibex]

Feixiao needs a bit more cr, she gets a lot of cdmg in battle

[past ibex]

My Robin Ruan mei and Sunday all have no lcs

Sunday's one is the only one worth pulling ngl

[lavish coral]

robin would help my teams a lot

so im gettign her]

[past ibex]

And even then you already have bronya lc

[lavish coral]

im talking mostly abot ruan mei

its in every cracked video i watched

[flat galleon]

Got an early for the herta lfg

[past ibex]

Motp s3 oof yeah

Ruan mei lc is pretty good but her e1 is probably better

[lavish coral]

appaerntly 20% of my fei and boothill damage is missing from lightcones sooo 😭

[past ibex]

Feixiao lc is pretty darn good for her

I think boothill and feixiao lcs would've been better than grabbing firefly's

Her lc is mainly a nice be buff

But her e1 is a lot better and e2 even better

The herta lc is pretty good on her already

[past ibex]

Grats

[lavish coral]

I dont even like her 😭

WHY

oh i remember

[past ibex]

Why did you pull then for the lc

[lavish coral]

I pulled boothill and he was absoluetly bonkers without his lc until powercreep

[past ibex]

Honestly just having one BE dps is more than enough, if you liked boothill a lot he would've been enough

[lavish coral]

so I was like fuck it lets get the next best char and her lc

[past ibex]

I'd say now with fugue they're pretty much in the same tier

But she is better with less investments

But yeah I think your acheron and feixiao could use some more work

How much cr do you have in battle for acheron?

I assume you use fuxuan

[lavish coral]

ye

like 70 something

[past ibex]

With izumo as well?

Around 80 should be good enough

[lavish coral]

i forgot

maybe close to 80

[past ibex]

Most acheron lc users I've seen have around like 220 cd

Like I don't have her lc and mines at like 206

[lavish coral]

thats crazy

[past ibex]

Considering you have her lc and cdmg body

It's actually not too hard

Mine I got lucky

I think picking up Robin is definitely the play, your feixiao will be so much stronger, probably even more important than her sig

And then improving relics

You definitely have the units and lcs to clear

Probably better than mine

[lavish coral]

what should i do w fei

[past ibex]

She needs closer to like 90 cr

Cause she gets a buncha cdmg in battle

[lavish coral]

got it

[past ibex]

My feixiao ratios are like 96/134

[lavish coral]

ty for th etips

im prob gonna pull robin, get boothill's lc and team maxx

what am I going to do abt my fav character mydei

idk

i want him bad

[past ibex]

Rmc should be decent with him

Then other slot harmony ig

[lavish coral]

3.x is insane

actually so many cool characters

😭

[past ibex]

Yeah amphoreus character designs and kits have be insanely excited

[lavish coral]

they're predatorizing my f2p status

they saw my clears

😔

[hazy seal]

In conclusion, I will pull more e0s1

Gonna grab the herta pack using oneiric shard

[past ibex]

Not to mention fate collab after that 😭

If I lose on Herta maybe I just go all in to build my castorice team

[long tapir]

just earned a 10 pull my first 3 hours of playing

kinda rich rn (i spent it all on lingsha and got nothing)

[lavish coral]

im cooked

[hazy seal]

Bro

I will win them all

Trust

[past ibex]

I'm happy for you but I have lost all trust in myself

Can't remember the last time I got anything early

[lavish coral]

I will win all my 50/50's like i did in penacony (I am on a 2 loss streak)

[hazy seal]

Early herta

[past ibex]

I picked up the express pass, it's like $5 for 2700 jades over 30 days

[hazy seal]

Current lose streak is jade hehe

[past ibex]

Cheap investment

Traded the price of one meal for 10 pulls

[hazy seal]

I have been esp player from like kafka onwards

[past ibex]

It seems pretty value for money

Idk why I never bought it before

[lavish coral]

one meal for $5...in what world do u live at

[hazy seal]

Because you aren't a whale

[lavish coral]

lemme get some

[past ibex]

I did a rough conversion from my currency

[long tapir]

hes not in america

thats why

[lavish coral]

ik im trolling

😭

[past ibex]

Can $5 really not get you anything over there

[long tapir]

not really, unless its some deal going on and even then its hard

maybe something from mcdonalds 💀

[past ibex]

Gah bless

[lavish coral]

a small drink 💀

[long tapir]

in your city maybe 😭

mines is a little better

bro a big mac meal here is $15 USD

its so

crazy

[past ibex]

????

Wtf

Daylight robbery

[long tapir]

ngl a lot of sit down places are becoming cheaper and better quality

fast food is fianlly falling in the US

still expensive but theyre coming up with pretty good deals

[past ibex]

I guess Singapore is the most comparable place I can think of in currency, but like five guys was around $9

For mcd that'd be crazy

That's like as cheap as fast food gets here

[long tapir]

Actually it's not bad

$8 for a meal tho

kinda 😬

when i can pay 1.5x more and get wayyyyy better quality

[past ibex]

Gotta take what we can get in this cruel world 😭

Yeah I rarely eat mcd nowadays

Not only is it not cheap anymore but it isn't fast either

[long tapir]

mcd is only good at night when you get the craving and overeat and have the next day free to recover from the fast food coma

or youre going through a rough time and cry while eating fries in the parking lot after picking it up in the drive through

not speaking from exp 😭

[past ibex]

Damn bro 😭

Yeah I usually just grab the ice cream or fries for a night out with the boys

[hazy seal]

Bro have you heard that the grass in the park are free?

[past ibex]

Gamers are allergic to grass

[long tapir]

another wet cat allegation against castorice

[past ibex]

Somehow I've managed to dodge any story spoilers on social media

[long tapir]

its v good

i can say that for sure

a bit tedious at times cause puzzles gatekeep u but the story is good

[past ibex]

How long was it?

Might try to get some time tonight

[long tapir]

im still doing it

😭

and i started 5 hours ago

its truly the elysian realm of star rail

the first instance of not wet cat looking castorice 🤩

also the boss battle was really hard ngl

even with my e4 acheron team i had trouble

(it was purely cause of my sustains (luocha))

hearing mem's voice in jp makes me miss elysia so much 😔

[past ibex]

Holy crap

I guess I'll have to do it part by part gah bless

[hazy seal]

I'll take my time too

[long tapir]

it would probably be longer too if i hadnt used acheron technique for every mob that i saw

i went through uhhhhh

40-50 trick snacks

[hazy seal]

Acheron powercreep

[flat galleon]

Need to flex a once in a lifetime luck for me in character banner Can try to get herta lc or just save for 3.1

[long tapir]

gg

[past ibex]

If you want to invest in herta it goes e1 > e2 > s1

I think the play is to save

Tribbie seems like she'll be good for mydei/castorice and herta

Her f2p lcs are good enough

[long tapir]

i lowkey got scammed pulling sunday thinking he was good fro castorice

😔

[past ibex]

I mean he should be still

She's summon

It's probably a dual harmony setup

[long tapir]

[opal drum]

[past ibex]

How's the yap

I don't mind long as long it's for a good reason

[long tapir]

uhh its a lot of info dump

cause the titans and their lore are very foreign to the star rail universe

i found it interesting but i can see how itd be tedious to work through

and ngl it felt really tedious at times with the yapping

e4 rmc though

[past ibex]

[flat galleon]

3.0, new year, new me

when i do story next month - gonna actually pay attention to story

[past ibex]

Anything is possible

[flat galleon]

or will i be screwed if i don't know shit about penacony?

[long tapir]

uhh not really

only that sunday is part of crew now

and so is black swan

nvm e5 rmc

[opal drum]

Damn BS too

[hazy seal]

Why am I using her to clear my old map's chest instead of playing new content

[flat galleon]

21922 relic remains

[past ibex]

What the hell

[flat galleon]

yeah when I said I hoard and kept a lot of levelled relics

this is what I meant

still got about 500 locked and some levelled stuff too

i feel like rerolling substat rolls but my best built characters don't really need them

not gonna take the risk from 3/5 good rolls to break even or even go lower

[hazy seal]

Well well well

What do I craft

[past ibex]

I lost at 80 pity i fucking hate my life

[hazy seal]

Well... only wuwa is playable for you rn

[past ibex]

I've lost my last two 50/50s for wuwa 🤡

lost fugue now lost herta

and then in zzz i lost burnice yanagi and miyabi

time to see in 1 week if i lose to astra

[hazy seal]

Losing every 50/50 you don't pull

Where are the events so I can grab trace mats as rewards

I am beyond broke

[past ibex]

have everything prefarmed, relics and traces

only missing the most important thing

[hazy seal]

Meanwhile I prefarm for a week and both chars uses the same mats

Time to rely on the 2x event

Whenever it drops

Nevermind, that's next month

[dreamy trout]

[shrewd orbit]

sheesh

i stopped farming for miyabi set as soon as I had a mid 4pc set

been prepping evelyn and her team for most of the patch

[past ibex]

it helps that miyabi's set comes with astra's

so i'm just doing them together

[rigid island]

we already know what discs astra will use?

im probably still short on upgrade mats but there's time yet i suppose

[past ibex]

I mean they made it kinda obvious

Sigh maybe I just skip herta

Sucks but I probably want castorice more

[hazy seal]

I took a look at Herta's eidolons

Don't understand a thing

[past ibex]

Basically e1, the target with the most stacks is calculated to have 50% more, and when you cast your enhanced skill, the stacks reset to 15 instead of 1

Pretty op

Then e2 you basically get an extra enhanced skill when you enter battle and use ult

[hazy seal]

To pull or not to pull

[past ibex]

I think it's acheron tier of improvements imo

E2S1 is a good stopping point if you ever want to consider

Though you also might want to consider that tribbie is her bis

[hazy seal]

I knew it om

Then there's also the rumored 5* dot lady

[past ibex]

Think she'll be a bit further down the line

I've learned that vertical investment is the way to this game not horizontal

My friend literally uses dot and acheron to clear everything

[hazy seal]

My super break is pretty vertical

But how vertical is vertical?

Also 6k jade rn

[past ibex]

Like e2s1 firefly type beat

Cause that just makes her super op

E1 fugue is also pretty broken

Funnily enough my friend uses e4s1 acheron but he refuses to pull jiaoqiu cause men

Best timeline

[hazy seal]

Based

My only e1 char are Jingliu and Black Swan

Last time I tried to e1 was Acheron debut and lost

[past ibex]

Same lol

And they were both unintentional

Was pulling for 4 stars

I can't remember the last time my jingliu has used her e1 buff

[hazy seal]

Sadge

Maybe I'll yolo

[past ibex]

You have good luck, yoloing might work

[hazy seal]

[hazy seal]

[past ibex]

I don't think I've ever got that in any gacha game I've played

[hazy seal]

Once in hsr, forgor when, once in wuwa

[nova depot]

i got that in genshin

[viscid elm]

I'm counting this as my first multi 5-star and nobody call tell me otherwise

[buoyant grotto]

still havent unlocked last cdmg trace

[hazy seal]

I have a priority list

Rmc is the last

[long tapir]

[past ibex]

[hazy seal]

w

[buoyant grotto]

i have no one to pair her with tho

changli waiting room

[past ibex]

sanhua

her bis f2p

you can play xiangli yao quickswap with her too

[buoyant grotto]

hmm

[past ibex]

but sanhua is the easiest

[buoyant grotto]

camellya dmg is good but she becomes so boring after longer sessions

so i decided to pull carlotta

[past ibex]

camellya gameplay is a lot simpler

just spin to win

carlotta and changli easily the most fun i've had in wuwa

quickswap is just so much more fun than standard hypercarry

[buoyant grotto]

also her en va is a fucking goat
i love shadowheart
tho im not really va person
if i was id have e6s5 jingyuan XD

[hazy seal]

Idk what she does tbh

On some occasions, I get full resonance gauge while sometimes it bricks

[past ibex]

Wuwa eng va have gotten a lot better

I love both carlottas eng and jp equally

[buoyant grotto]

btw did u guys see endfield gameplay?

it legit looks insane

[past ibex]

Saw fob playing it, looks fun

I'm excited

[buoyant grotto]

they did so much progress

and i was already hyped before

has some flaws here and there but its just first beta

definitely the best animations in all gacha market

i heard they kept dupes being just minor improvement just like its in arknights

tho in arknights dupes are useless on 90% characters if not more tbh

[past ibex]

think hsr still takes the cake for animations for me

[buoyant grotto]

didnt really compare it to hsr but rather to other real time combat games

i still dont know if i want to go for e1 or s1 algaea

most likely wont have pulls for both

[past ibex]

s1 should be pretty easy choice no

the free 4*s aren't good for rememberance dps'

and then there's just 3*s

[past ibex]

oh fair

think it's on par with wuwa

jinhsi calcharo have some of the nuttiest animations

[buoyant grotto]

theres also herta shop one

but idk if its good enough

[past ibex]

Increases the wearer's SPD by 6%. After the wearer uses Skill, increases the DMG dealt by all allies by 8%, lasting for 3 turn(s).
feels kinda bleh

[buoyant grotto]

12% speed and 16% dmg at s5

[past ibex]

they just all seem like more supportive cones

she gets 12 speed 56% cdmg

and then for each excess stack you get addtional 9% basic attk dmg

wtf does that not have a cap

[buoyant grotto]

also it gives 12 BASE speed

[past ibex]

yea

nuts

[buoyant grotto]

and she gets speed boots in kit

[past ibex]

I think for rememberance dps'

the sigs will be pretty much

must haves

just cause no good options

[buoyant grotto]

we only have 2 remembrance dps

and one is super fast

and other is super slow

XD

[past ibex]

probably gonna get a lot more after that

there's like 12 chrysos heirs and we've only seen 5 so far

and then the fate collab

[buoyant grotto]

that multiplies your luck

Golly

[past ibex]

not bad

[buoyant grotto]

i made comment that hmc is not very universal 3 months ago
today i got this answer:

meanhile hmc became even less universal bc ppl realized boothill prefers action advance over hmc

[past ibex]

wdym less universal she's literally only for break comps

[buoyant grotto]

yeah thats why this enitre talk doesnt have sense (and that was the point of my post then)

[past ibex]

I don't think any sane person thought she was universal at least in end game

she's pretty great for new players tho

[past ibex]

idk that superbreak damage is everything

[buoyant grotto]

oh i reread what this universal came from and it was bc someone was comparing hmc to xiangling

[past ibex]

friend cleared moc no sustain with hmc

literally one shotting bug

honestly if there's someone who is universal amongst the trailblazers

it's rememberance

[buoyant grotto]

i mean fire tb is also universal

just bad

[past ibex]

they carried me through the early game i'll never slander

[buoyant grotto]

i feel bad for telling my friend to pick bronya from standard selector bc of rmc release

he had himeko already so it isnt that bad tho

[past ibex]

bronya still good

two sides

[buoyant grotto]

i have e2s1 bronya on my main and i used friends acc with e0s0 bronya for a week
difference is massive

[past ibex]

yeah the sp is for sure big

but for beginners it's pretty good

though i guess you could say bailu

probably a better pull

[buoyant grotto]

id probably say clara tbh

[buoyant grotto]

nah, bud has e4 galla and luocha

small change
but i love it

[past ibex]

oh lol then they're fine

yeah clara good dps

and now it has just completely

melted my brain

it's not that your 1.x dps' suck

they just don't have good supports lol

[buoyant grotto]

it was very fun bc it actually became good discussion

[past ibex]

and for that matter, 2.x dps' would suck without their supports

[past ibex]

yeah pokke's bob adventure has been a good fun ride

but I think people still refuse to listen

so like the point went in one ear and out the other

like just imagine firefly without ruan mei, feixiao without robin, etc.

they're all just not as good

[buoyant grotto]

yeah ppl dont realize

that teams in hsr are

[past ibex]

they think the gap between the new and old dps' are like

astronomical

the real thing is

your supports

create your foundation

if you don't want to pull supports cause you don't like them, fair, but don't complain if you can't clear

[buoyant grotto]

X dps of Y archetype
flex / 2nd support that is 4*/free in 90% cases
X support of Y archetype
sustain - flex

[past ibex]

not to mention 3 of the best characters in this game

are 4*s

gallagher, pela, tingyun

it would be nice if we got more 4s but i think our 4 roster is pretty good

[buoyant grotto]

hsr makes me sad that mc in genshin sucks fucking ass

[past ibex]

at least dendro mc is solid

it got me through a lot of the early to mid stages of genshin

[buoyant grotto]

and theres also hmc for break, rmc and hunt march

[past ibex]

yeah forgot about those

hunt march is op, i kinda and kinda don't regret pulling for topaz

[buoyant grotto]

and all of them were given for free at some point so even the unluckiest person on the planet could get them

[past ibex]

it feels like topaz at e0s0 is very similar to march e6

but i like topaz's character a lot

so screw it i'll cope

[buoyant grotto]

me when i saw e0s0 topaz in t0 on prydwen:

[past ibex]

i mean i think t0 is fine, but you have to bump up march

to t0 too

cause they're basically at similar levels

[buoyant grotto]

e6 moze too imo

like topaz shouldnt be t0 just by fact that she has 2 4*s that are neck to neck with her in most cases

and one of them is literally free

[past ibex]

I've not played e6 moze so idk

[past ibex]

I mean they're all essential for fua

[buoyant grotto]

moze really just needs e2 tbh

[past ibex]

Idm them all being t0

[buoyant grotto]

im wondering why rappa and fugue are still not t0 on pf tier list

and himeko should go to t0,5 too

[past ibex]

Yeah that's just cope take lol

With all the 5 target end game content

Rappa literally the best break dps rn

[buoyant grotto]

how tf did himeko even drop to t1 idk

[past ibex]

No clue fugue made her massively broken

[buoyant grotto]

ppl when rappa released: yeah shes good but she needs enemies with exo toughness
fugue: bet

[past ibex]

yeah fugue literally changed everything

i kept saying no weakness implant just made her really hard to use

then boom

also just wanted to say 3.0 story was great, I get people not happy that there wasn't a lot of variety in the storytelling, but it didn't really ruin my immersion

the worldbuilding and character development was great

as someone who reads a lot i had no problems

feels like people were overly negative and it just feels like the same thing is happening to hsr that happened to genshin

guess the point is everyone just hates mihoyo

[buoyant grotto]

imo there was just too much yapping and hoyo still doesnt understand 1 thing

SHOW

DONT TELL

[past ibex]

i'm not sure how there was too much yapping, there's just that much lore to unpack with this new world

i think people just don't like to read and are in a hurry to finish story quests asap

[buoyant grotto]

i mean i love reading and i loved penacony bc of good story but amph was just too much sometimes

[past ibex]

I do agree that they should convey it in a more interesting way, i.e more cutscenes or cg art

but i personally found all the dialogue interesting

that being said i played it over 3-4 days

and i'm sure there were a lot of people

who crammed everything into one day

[buoyant grotto]

yeah it took me 3 days too

[past ibex]

hsr has always been more of a visual novel to me from the very beginning, only difference is now the stories are longer and on a bigger scale so people are starting to feel it

that said I've read way longer than this so i had no difficulties

I do agree that they should have more cgs but not cutscenes

cutscenes are great when they're sprinkled in at the right moment, too much and it loses its surprise factor

but yes more cg art

usually when people say yap that mean some parts were unnecessary but I really can't think of many parts in amphoreus that were just there for filler/fluff

i get the yapping complaints in penacony cause sunday was talking about the damn charmony dove and freedom every chance he got

but for the most part it was fine

basically could they have delivered the story better? sure, but was it egregious storytelling? no

I just think the problems are exaggerated

feel like it's just piling up and adding more fire to the powercreep complaints just for people to continue to shit on hsr

[buoyant grotto]

for me it was bc it ruined pacing

like are mid fight - wait, 5 mins of yap

[past ibex]

which fight?

[buoyant grotto]

mini boss

[past ibex]

there were like 2 mini bosses

[buoyant grotto]

i dont remember his name

[past ibex]

nikador

[buoyant grotto]

one before mydei one

[past ibex]

you mean like when we first met mydei?

[buoyant grotto]

yeah

[past ibex]

most of the dialogue was cause we just met two new characters in mydei and castorice tho

idk I think fights are better when there's dialogue to build into it

i don't think the dialogue was very long either

[buoyant grotto]

yeah and i think we should fight first and talk after

not talk mid fight

[past ibex]

but why would that happen

two new characters

it would be so weird to just

ignore them and head to the boss zone to fight

meeting them and then having a bit of dialogue builds into eventually heading to the boss fight

it's not like we enter the boss arena and just

talk in front of them

[buoyant grotto]

going straight to fight during active conflict just makes more sense to me

and it would be cool if mydei pointed weapon on us bc he doesnt know us yet and phainon saying "therye with us, we will explain everything later"

then go to fight and talk after

[past ibex]

I mean that's fair, if you'd like the sequence of events to be different, but to dismiss it as yap just feels a bit unfair

like yap = pointless dialogue

and i just didn't really see alot of that

[nova depot]

i did it all in one day...

the story was long but good but idk why herta was there

[buoyant grotto]

well, she has banner, they had to put her there no matter what

at least they did it only in epilogue

[nova depot]

they could have had agalea first herta second and just had that part tied to her

banner time

[buoyant grotto]

but still felt so disconnected

[buoyant grotto]

i agree but im happy it didnt happen bc i have time to save

[past ibex]

I mean i think it's been hinted quite a bit

that she's gonna be involved in the amphoreus story

||hence why sunday and welt were at the herta space station||

[past ibex]

god bless

[nova depot]

i get that part but it felt like it shouldnt have been part of this section

but they added it bc of her banner

[past ibex]

it felt like a teaser as to what was gonna happen after

[nova depot]

if they had her second banner and had that as its own mini section i think it would have been better

[past ibex]

yeah in terms of the story aglaea makes more sense

it's just that

she's an emanator

[buoyant grotto]

I PRAY TO THE ALL GACHA GODS!

e1s1 algaea pls

[nova depot]

i like agalea but ||that scene where she tricked the player genuinely pissed me off lmfao||

i was like bruh you cannot be serious rn

[past ibex]

||I think that made her character a lot more interesting, it was great to see that everyone wasn't buddy buddy with us||

||and just shows how far she was willing to go to protect her people||

[nova depot]

i agree thats how i felt after

[buoyant grotto]

its funny how ppl got used to 🌈 power of friendship 🌈 that now they think algaea is ||morally grey|| XDDDDDDD

[nova depot]

||but i did click the leave amphoreus option afterwards lol||

out of spite

[buoyant grotto]

||i heard black swan is sus when u choose it||

[nova depot]

idr

[past ibex]

||I was too scared to pick the bad options I just went on yt after||

||mommy was too scary||

[nova depot]

o yea

[buoyant grotto]

and this

[buoyant grotto]

me when no cocolia in apoc:

https://tenor.com/view/cool-fun-white-cat-dance-cool-and-fun-times-gif-622658359304748955

[lavish coral]

how u mfs finish in one day

also I’m loving the story btw feels great to grab a snack and watch

also mrpokke is looking into the future of his potential teams w bob im assuming

[past ibex]

Same

[past ibex]

Uh yeah as of now he's just building out his the herta comp

Going for tribbie next

[buoyant grotto]

tribbie seems to be herta only support

sure she can work in dual dps in general

but ig for these robin still should be better

[past ibex]

She's for mydei as well

They're both hp scaling

And I'm assuming castorice too

[buoyant grotto]

wouldnt castorice be sunday?

[past ibex]

You would assume double harmony setup

Or rmc I guess if you don't have one of them

[buoyant grotto]

damn castorice even more expensive than algaea

[past ibex]

I mean that's just my guess

Rmc could also be good enough

We know nothing about her kit besides that she's slow and has hp mechanics

[buoyant grotto]

i did the same run with robin instead rmc with blade

cleared in 5 cycles too

[past ibex]

Hail rmc

[buoyant grotto]

e6 rmc = e1 robin

trust

[past ibex]

Trash can lover

[past ibex]

This one made me laugh

[buoyant grotto]

to be fair

league lootboxes

are purely cosmetics

it can have the shittest rates on the planet

but its still just cosmetics

[past ibex]

Still a product they're selling at the end of the day

Tft also basically has a gacha banner to get the cosmetics

not to even mention like fifa card packs too

[buoyant grotto]

yeah but comparing just cosmetics to actual playable content is just not fair

[past ibex]

think that's probably the scummiest out of the bunch

[past ibex]

why not? at the end of the day they're spending boat loads of money

[buoyant grotto]

yeah i agree fifa is the worst

[buoyant grotto]

its just cosmetics

[past ibex]

you are still spending the money

on the other hand you don't need to spend money to get characters at least

[buoyant grotto]

on sth that doesnt change the game in other ways than just looks

[past ibex]

you're still spending money idk what else to tell you

[buoyant grotto]

well type of the content matters

[past ibex]

it really doesn't if you're spending money lol

at the end of the day the amount of money going out of your bank account is still there

not to mention now riot is even getting rid of the chance to get chests for free

I just realized my black swan traces aren't even maxed

[viscid elm]

Should've put HSR in there because you're never gonna get kangy to defend Genshin

[buoyant grotto]

cosmetics will always be better than playable characters in ANY gacha game
and any game in general

[past ibex]

i'm not gonna go down this route arguing the semantics of it

they're all bad

[rigid island]

nicole skin this week

[buoyant grotto]

COSMETICS TO NOT CHANGE GAMEPLAY
CHARACTERS DO
its just that simple

[past ibex]

money spent

doesn't matter

[buoyant grotto]

???

AND?

CONTENT MATTERS

[past ibex]

there's still the same desire

to get both

who cares if it changes what happens in game

people still drop boat loads of money

to get cosmetics

it's one of the easiest cash grabs

of all time

and will always be

[buoyant grotto]

and its fine bc its just cosmetics?

it doesnt affect gameplay at all

[past ibex]

it still incites the feeling of fomo and gets you to want to spend

you can literally play all these gacha games without spending

and the majority of the playerbase does not give a damn about endgame

so getting an e0 character vs e6

[buoyant grotto]

AND U CAN PLAY LEAGUE WO SPENDING

[past ibex]

changes nothing

[past ibex]

thank you you made my point

they're both the same

[buoyant grotto]

and just to be sure

im not defending riot

fuck riot games

but im defending skins in general

in all games

cosmetics*

[past ibex]

do what you want

i already made my point

[buoyant grotto]

ur point is literally "they both cost money"

yeah they both do

and now compare what u have to pay for

[past ibex]

you literally don't need either

[buoyant grotto]

and?

[past ibex]

so they're the same

[buoyant grotto]

no

in 1

[past ibex]

casuals are not pulling e6 to clear endgame content

they just like the character

[buoyant grotto]

i mean idc what ppl spent their money on but pulling any max dupe in gacha games is just stupid

u literally pay to not play the game

[past ibex]

it's stupid but that's literally what all these people who spend money on the game want to do

that's just how it is bestie

[buoyant grotto]

AND THE SAME GOES TO FUCKING SKINS

[past ibex]

like i said majority of people do not care

about the endgame content

[buoyant grotto]

but one does affect gameplay

and 2nd doesnt

[past ibex]

and?

we're just going in circles bestie

[buoyant grotto]

its about how invasive monetization is

the more u can buy, the more invasive it is (and im not talking about amount of sth but amount of different things u can buy)

[past ibex]

i'm not gonna bother man, i don't care whether one affects gameplay or not, it literally incites the desire and fomo to get you to spend money on the game

[buoyant grotto]

i mean if u have fomo on skins then theres sth wrong with u

and im not saying to u directly, to hypothetical person

[past ibex]

and that's who they target...

why are you acting like all these people spending loads of money are thinking properly

[buoyant grotto]

and its fine

not my problem

doesnt affect gameplay

not invasive

idgaf

[past ibex]

whatever floats your boat

[buoyant grotto]

its the same thing as with onlyfans

just blame guys who buy it

without them

it wouldnt exist

[past ibex]

move on man you're clearly not gonna change your mind and i'm not

[buoyant grotto]

change what mind?

like really ur argumentation doesnt make fucking any sense

[past ibex]

move on.

that's literally the point

you don't get me

i don't get you

nothing's gonna come from discussing it further

[lavish coral]

https://tenor.com/view/my-new-character-chill-guy-oc-idgaf-gif-8231906169721916585

[past ibex]

jesus this apoc

literally how do you clear if you don't have boothill or herta

[lavish coral]

boothill mentioned

his time...has come

[past ibex]

yeah it's the silly bug

[hazy seal]

Yunli

Had to manual the flower lady boss

[past ibex]

I think my firefly should be able to handle it, just need to play it better

Feixiao carried my 2nd half

[past ibex]

I always forget she exists, I only know like you and one of other friends that has her

[hazy seal]

She is that based

[past ibex]

barely cleared with firefly

https://youtu.be/UtY1jxPeKlQ?si=GfnjRmcLhm2i8nFn

[lavish coral]

o fuck

My boothill turned nikador into soup so badly I barely saw any animations

☹️

[past ibex]

the final one?

I think people should purposely play with weaker teams just for the immersion

everyone's teams are built for endgame content lmao

[lavish coral]

oh yeah I missed 2 big attacks

[past ibex]

a pretty epic one too, mydei is like this is an attack that can obliterate worlds

actually just oneshots your team if you don't have aventurine

[lavish coral]

lmao nvm my ass was not surviving with gallagher and half my hp gone

It was literally kill or be killed

[hazy seal]

Idk what I was doing

[nova depot]

lost that once with acheron and immediately switched to be team lmao

[past ibex]

yeah the people who played with acheron vs sunday boss

bro never got to the 7th day

[long tapir]

i still got hit with that 😭

it was break and FUA that broke his shield before 7th day atk

[nova depot]

honestly i was thinking about my acct and i prob wont go herta

just robin rerun into castorice probs

[past ibex]

yeah at this point if it isn't a support, probably not a must pull so just go for what you like

people get pressured to pull the newest dps usually cause the new endgame content is tailor made for them

[long tapir]

ngl just a rainbow coverage is fine 😭

one dps from each element to cover the elements and the rest can be whatever

[nova depot]

robin still good value with my account

cause i can run her with feix and on pf side

[past ibex]

robin is peak value for any comp that's not break

[nova depot]

yeah

i was a little concerned with longevity

but tbh seeing the upcoming supports

im not ... too concerned with that lol

[past ibex]

I think all the supports so far have their niche and even sparkle that people hate on quite a but still has value

[long tapir]

yeah tribbie is more like a hybrid between dps and supp

[past ibex]

Like even in terms of longevity there really isn't a unit that's just unusable today

[nova depot]

silver wolf is kinda suspect

theres not really a good spot to use her these days

[long tapir]

her skill shouldve been bounce ngl

at the very least

[past ibex]

fair she has become a lot more niche

but still great for acheron

[long tapir]

yeah i used her one time when there wasnt a lightning weakness on a boss but there was qua

[hazy seal]

She will be back

We quantum super break

[past ibex]

true

i'd like to hold on to hope that eventually they make supports to bring back old dps' like they did with jingyuan

just waiting on that dot buffer

[hazy seal]

When they buff entangle

[past ibex]

yeah the one thing that's bit disappointing is that the weakness break effects

don't provide too much of a difference

[long tapir]

they should make entangle a DoT so that new amphoeus nihility cat girl will be useful

some people say shes qua nihiliy

but idk how thatll be implemented

[past ibex]

that would be hype

[hazy seal]

Just make ice a dot, then it can proc icefire

[nova depot]

isnt she on like 3.4

[hazy seal]

I'd suggest a fox sword character

[nova depot]

how do people know already

[long tapir]

ice is fine imo

its useful and fits the theme of ice

[past ibex]

we don't really have a timeline past 3.2

[long tapir]

its speculation, but they usually have a rough outline of what theyre doing for all the chars for each region

[past ibex]

at most we know castorice and anaxa will be 3.2

[long tapir]

cause they have to design them and implement them after all

[hazy seal]

Ice anomaly dot nihility

[past ibex]

miyabi expy

[hazy seal]

Trust

The dot can crit

Apparently, rmc true dmg works with Kafka when she hits the dot

[lavish coral]

erm

yeah this apoc top half is fucked

not even trying to hide it

gg

[long tapir]

yeah...

im having to use my pure fiction team for it 💀

its so bad that a single target mode is now aoe based

[long tapir]

yeah its bad

[lavish coral]

yup gonna quit hsr forever

[past ibex]

firefly was good enough to clear it

[lavish coral]

first half?

[past ibex]

yep

i used fei for 2nd

i need to rebuild my dot teams

[long tapir]

i tried to fit into the buffs with pure fiction team, and i forgot i had e4 acheron

needless to say

[past ibex]

[past ibex]

lolol

whenever there's a problem just throw acheron at it

[long tapir]

itll be even better when i get her e6

[lavish coral]

I GOTTA UNBENCH HER AGAIN

[past ibex]

tbf it's always been kinda "aoe based" if you think about it

[lavish coral]

wow shes becoming useful even tho i barely use her

[past ibex]

lmao

[lavish coral]

and shes one of my best sadly

[past ibex]

i think boothill just gets screwed here cause you need to kill the side bugs

but then once you kill them

and you hit the big guy

he spawns more

[lavish coral]

love the creativity in this mode

(there isnt any)

bc it doesnt work

[past ibex]

I think apoc is usually quite varied

[lavish coral]

thankfully i wasnt greedy or stupid and i have backup units

(meme)

[past ibex]

lmao

yeah i think this time around the 1st half is super element locked

[hazy seal]

Jingliu

[past ibex]

sadly the buffs all don't help her

not sure if she's strong enough to brute force it like acheron

[past ibex]

but yeah i went back and the first apoc was like kafka and cocolia, but it was the same mechanic where you had to kill the side dudes (or pillars with cocolia) to kill them

and it's usually always like that

this bug is the first time that's really not the case

[hazy seal]

I'll test out Jingliu and Yunli

[long tapir]

yeah its pretty annoying

acheron moment

[past ibex]

yunli should be pretty good

[hazy seal]

I've never used Feixiao when I see multiple enemies om

[past ibex]

i like feixiao cause she can break the boss toughness super fast

and then once you get the buff

you get all your ult stacks back

[hazy seal]

My WTF build is benched lul

[past ibex]

[long tapir]

hmm try for lingsha or save castorice

[past ibex]

still a lot of time till castorice

[hazy seal]

Any Lingsha glazer in chat

[past ibex]

I think having lingsha/aventurine is pretty good

[hazy seal]

Next remembrance char is healer

Trust

[long tapir]

yeah but aventurine isnt waifu

need waifu that has super shield kit

[past ibex]

aventurine is best boi tho 🥺

bust

[hazy seal]

Elysia

Cycrane

[past ibex]

I think there was a preservation leaked for like

3.4

[long tapir]

ely gonna be rememberance 100%

[past ibex]

so just pray ig

[long tapir]

hmm i see

[hazy seal]

10%

[long tapir]

did 10 pull and nothing 😔

[past ibex]

i'm still at 50 pity for berta

[long tapir]

alr i save for supposed 3.4 preservation then

[hazy seal]

I did the multi

Ehehehe

Nothing

17 pity rn

[past ibex]

yeah this is all we've got

[past ibex]

this brother can't stop pulling

[long tapir]

ooh FUA char

[lavish coral]

fireflip aint working for me chief...

[past ibex]

you have the standard gallagher ruan mei fugue firefly no?

with her sig too

in the 1st phase just keep hitting the big bug

ignore everyone else

2nd phase only hit the small bugs when it makes its toughness untargetable

[lavish coral]

lmao

it CC's one of my chars

and then that person gets fucked

and dies

[past ibex]

your gallagher has to cleanse it

if you just let it go through the bugs will keep hitting the same dude

[rigid island]

hm i have a guaranteed S engine in 24

should i try get miyabi or leave it for astra
