i wonder if AC burst would be better for yanfei

#

lowers down the ER

warm creek
#

why is it 0b

#

wait why is kazuha talents at lvl 9/12/12

cedar zodiac
#

i was pepega when i did that

warm creek
muted grotto
#

If Yanfei needs 166 ER I believe 2 EOSF would be better than 2/2 glad sr wouldn’t it?

cedar zodiac
#

but i lose dmg A_HuCry

#

im already running ER sands

#

to balance out consistency in all rots

muted grotto
#

Oh wait ER sands

#

Ok that makes sense since sands plus 2 liquid subs you pretty much already there

cedar zodiac
#

yeah, thats why i putted 2 18% to make up for it

muted grotto
#

Did you see how oathsworn compares?

cedar zodiac
#

which sucks cause i also rely on dodoco 2nd passive

#

not yet

#

but i believe oathsworn can provide more comfort in terms of stats

muted grotto
#

Actually come to think of it oathsworn might be sus on Yanfei

#

The uptime on the passive won’t be 100% it only lasts 10s after skill right?

#

And iirc Yanfei skill cd is 15s

elder cliff
#

two options, either you manually calculate each particles comes within uptime and which doesn't.
Or jsut average the amount, especially if the particle mainly comes from turret type

#

48% ER right? 10/15 = 66%.
48% ER x 66% = 32% effective ER buff

rugged spire
elder cliff
#

oh 9s

#

A_HuTaoBonk noir

rugged spire
#

so it should be 100% uptime

muted grotto
#

Oh I pepega

#

Idk where I get 15s from

elder cliff
#

burst? A_HuTaoDerp

muted grotto
#

That’s 20

elder cliff
#

I got my Yanfei still at 20/40 (for std wish) so don't blame me A_HuTaoStareIntense

cedar zodiac
#

yanfei cd start at 8 if not including the anim

#

but i dont think people use the E anim cancel using CA spam on E middle anim

#

literally merges the E frames with the CA frames

elder cliff
#

? CA ccl?

#

CA cancel?

cedar zodiac
#

e cancel

#

idk what its called, E cancel or CA cancel

#

basically cancel out the E frames using the CA

elder cliff
#

so E > CA?

cedar zodiac
#

yeah

elder cliff
#

so E cast (CA cancel) if it's on my book

cedar zodiac
#

yep

#

you already have the frames for it?

elder cliff
#

from what I see (not framecount yet) the E cast duration is still normal, just like canceling with N1. But you indeed have quicker CA because you save CA's buffer time

#

so if you have a use case for CA then do use it

#

I'll leave the framecount to you tho, I'm still wrestling with other chars A_HuKek

#

or jrm A_HuThumbsup

cedar zodiac
#

i dont know how C_KEKTao

#

im still waiting on kazuha to properly time this comp but looking at jamie's mono pyro klee with the same chars apart from klee and yanfei, the placing of buffs took 10 seconds. Counting yanfei's frames in the rot

EQC = 2
3N2C = 6
EC = 2

elder cliff
#

that 2 6 2 is second?

cedar zodiac
#

yep

#

from my testing with yanfei combos

#

EC can be 1 second through the cancelling method, i just put 2 for comfortability of usage

elder cliff
#

1s? 1s++ or really sub 1s?

#

I honestly doubt it can do EC sub 1s

#

you know what, I have OBS and premiere already fired up so I'll just take a quick look

cedar zodiac
#

i opened my genshin to check it C_KEKTao

elder cliff
#

82f

#

~1366ms

#

EC Dash cancel

cedar zodiac
#

1.4 seconds?

elder cliff
#

yeah, thing is what are you planning after EC?

#

because dash is usually a faster cancel

cedar zodiac
#

looping the rotation back to bennett

elder cliff
#

so swap

cedar zodiac
#

yeah

elder cliff
#

you know how long's Yanfei's dash duration?

#

eh, nvm, I can check it now

#

20f, it should be 24f but it's something about cancel mech which can be later

#

fine, 82f+20f+SwapLatency

#

there you have it

cedar zodiac
#

still 2 seconds

elder cliff
#

it's quite risky combo, but I can try again I guess. I think I can shave off 10-20f off of it

elder cliff
#

ping me when it's uploaded, we'll check it

cedar zodiac
elder cliff
#

ouch 30fps

cedar zodiac
#

my rig scuffed

elder cliff
#

so I see there are 2 instances of EC, am I looking it right?

#

Yan EC

cedar zodiac
#

yeah i did 2

elder cliff
#

assuming 5f action buffer

#

if it's 2f action buffer (like mine) it should be 85f and 87f ig

cedar zodiac
#

i see

#

thats only E cast?

elder cliff
#

both

#

E C

cedar zodiac
#

ahhh

#

with swap latency falls up to 2 seconds

elder cliff
#

yeah, more and less

cedar zodiac
#

i downloaded kden just to check it as well C_KEKTao

elder cliff
#

wat is kden A_HuTaoDerp

cedar zodiac
#

a video editor iirc

#

kdenlive

elder cliff
#

you can always go the riskier path and do dash cancel and it'll save you like 100ms A_HuKek

#

for the risk of no CA dmg at all while still losing 50 stam A_HuDead

cedar zodiac
#

ill just stand still E_KEKpat

#

i dont want the last CA to be hit or miss when dash cancelling

#

my pepega fingers always spamming dash

elder cliff
#

you know I had to try dozens of tries to get that 78f A_HuTaoDerp

#

the rest were no CA dmg at all it's so risky lol I wouldn't do that too

#

On kqm site there's info about electrocharged removing 3s and 5s per tick. What about 0.4u per tick, was it wrong or just more general assumption? E_think

warm creek
#

Isn't that because gauge unit and decay rate are connected

pine ivy
#

We can get more ec tick with hitlag

#

Or it's only a bug

warm creek
#

idk if it indicated it as a bug

elder cliff
pine ivy
#

So it should be possible to get one more

#

I'm sure I've seen or heard about it

#

I guess..

elder cliff
# pine ivy I mean you can extend aura duration

well if it does extend aura duration, it still consumes 0.4u per EC tick. Probably what they mean is the the tick interval is delayed or smth? BEcause by the gauge it'll still only be 2 ticks per let's say, 1u Elec + 1u Hydro Tho yeah EC is big brain stuff so I wouldn't be surprised if it's another thing I don't know A_HuTaoShrug

pine ivy
#

I thought that if ec tick cd is 60 frames(1s) and you can extend auras by 60 more frames when 2u hydro + 2u electro (with just more time), you can get additional tick in those 60 frames

Is there a shorthand equation to convert x amount of shred to y amount of damage bonus.

outer crow
#

this is the formula i use for my sheets formatted in a way you can read

if X-Enemy Res>0:
Y = 1+(X-Enemy Res)/2

else:
Y = 1-(Enemy Res + X)

where X is shred and Y is the res mod

#

@vale scarab

#

if you want dmg bonus from an enemy with like 10% shred then you take the final dmg mod after you account for shred and divide it by the initial mod without any shred

#

so for example with an enemy at 10% res initially should be at a 1.15 res mod accounting for VV shred so you take that and divide it by the initial res mod for an enemy (0.9)
1.15/0.9 ~= 1.27

#

so i guess if you wanted a final res modifier it'd just be

Y = (1+(X-Enemy Res)/2)/(1-(Enemy Res + X)
where x is the shred and y is the final dmg increase from res

vale scarab
#

Ok this is golden! Im gonna play around with some examples and make sure im wrapping my head around this properly

ok I need help. I'm kinda having difficulty trying to figure out Raiden's Q cast time. Idk but the deviation is higher than I expected and what I commonly encountered (usually deviation would be 2-4 frame, while in Raiden cast it shoots up to 11f deviation)

#

this should be on request board but since this is simple matter, I'll just post it here. I figure it wouldn't take you long to do anyway.

#

Title : Gathering samples for Raiden Q Cast timing
Requirement : Have Raiden. 60fps recorder. Rig capable of 60fps gameplay. Lil of your spare time.
Description : High deviation on Raiden Q Cast duration. I'm trying to figure out whether this is skill issue or something. Need more samples.
Methodology :

  • Do Raiden Q + N1 without Burst camera cutscene, do it as fast as you can. (if you accidently went to N2 or N3, it's okay. Just stop there)
  • Don't do anything else until Raiden's Q state end (the sky turns bright again)
  • Do this at least 3 times (by pausing recording or 3 separate footages, up to you)
    Tips :
  • Go to Abyss Portal and soak your Raiden in the water around it. Try to sprint, if you can't sprint, you're already on the right place

Radahn's = 120, 118, 122

quite stable on your 3 samples but cast time took way longer than mine A_HmmTao

anything above 6f deviation means 100ms deviations and that's a lot

Hmm, a quick question regarding Yelan's breakthrough barb.
Ganyu's CA bloom has an innate travel time of 0.3 secs, which affects slingshot bow and amos bow buff behaviors. For the sake of comparing these kind of weapons for Yelan, I wondered if Yelan's breakthrough barb has an innate travel time separate from the initial shot like Ganyu. Does anybody have info on that?

#

due to slingshot's high critrate, low base attack, and potentially 60% damage increase to a charge attack, I feel like there's big potential there, but the difference in airtime behavior can either make or break this bow

#

if breakthrough barb has an innate travel time, like bloom, then it will trigger slingshot 100% of the time, considering how quickly it blows up

#

if it won't, and it carries over the airtime of the charge attack, then you'll need to trigger it from close range

because it's internal behavior

at least it's not something you really have to have much preparations for

humble tiger
# reef drum i have a question; how one start to theorycraft? which data(s) do a theorycrafte...

there's no degree for this sort of thing. it's really not that deep. it's simply just taking your favourite characters/comps and trying to contribute with tips and/or optimisations for how people can improve.
from that it can break down into rotation guides, character guides, team calcs, combos, weapon calcs etc. but it all starts from simply having something you wish to contribute

#

tc = helping people

#

if you have a team, strat or a thing you wish to share, then simply just find a community and share it. very simple

Hi all. I'm mainly a lurker and occasional poster and I've wanted to sort of get more involved in the tc community past my own perosnal calculation. I'm not sure how many people here pay attention to baseball, but baseball has a statistic called WAR or wins above replacement. I know there are challenges to creating such a thing in genshin with plenty of backlash looming, but I was just curious if anyone else would find any value or like to work with me on my project that looks to create a dynamic replacement value for units.

Let me know if you're interested or would like to help!

elder cliff

#

Sounds interesting

rugged spire
#

idk anything about baseball so A_HuTaoDerp

outer crow
#

Me neither

weak mountain
# elder cliff also what kind of variables you're gonna get for the calc?

I'm on very initial stages of framing this in and I've just recently started working on like a pre outline to box in the parameters as well as set up initial stages on developing the most objective value I can. I just want to ensure I'm being as objective as possible as well as collaborate to get new ideas.

weak mountain
# rugged spire idk anything about baseball so <:A_HuTaoDerp:791552140912492595>

Essentially tldr War, or wins above replacement, exists at multiple levels to examine how much greater or worse a player is at multiple aspects of the game including hitting and fielding (individual values can exist for each) the statistic in essence says if a player has a war of 5.4, they've contributed to the team winning 5.4 more games in the time period in which the stat is calculated versus a replacement level player (war of 0)

elder cliff
#

or more than that?

#

really curious about the parameters you'll gona take into consideration, or any standard/assumptions there

#

my feelscrafting says that it's gonna be uber complicated, but interesting nonetheless

outer crow
#

That sounds like the complicated part

#

Can’t be dmg because subdps aren’t all dmg but typically are integral to a team

weak mountain
#

More essentially, what I'm framing in is an efficiency for content, abyss included, but more so looking at in situations where all is equal, what unit provides the most within its given role with the same set of stats.

I want to keep weapons and indivdual artifacts separate so a baseline of statistics for a character is required. With that being said there has to be levels of variability given the main stat of artifacts. You can't have one number. Rather than establishing what is meta or the right selection subjectively, I'd create a calculator that would make individual numbers for each situations. I know that seems like a lot but once you develop the framework it's just kind of plug and play.

outer crow
#

Same with healers and support bots

outer crow
#

For a particular role specifically

#

Unless you’re still tuning that aspect

#

In which case take your time

humble tiger
#

the big issue i'm seeing is there's no way to keep things neutral and unbiased as everything is variable depending on an account

outer crow
#

The best we can do there is normalize characters

humble tiger
#

also baseball has pvp, genshin doesn't really have a good metric to measure for success

since its a pve game, success is subjective

#

Get the brain juices flowing

weak mountain
elder cliff
#

yeah just 36 star clear, you could even make it 'on the edge' 36* clear

humble tiger
#

just 36 star clear is still subjective, since we could be talking about how easy it is to play, how fast they clear, how much variety of chambers they can clear without adjusting teams, how hard they are

elder cliff
#

but then it's still kinda subjective since survival...

humble tiger
dark forum
#

I think some metric based on 36* clears of x previous abyss rotations would be fairest(because we have some variety across patches now)
all the rest of the content pales in comparison A_HmmTao

humble tiger
#

some golden house people would define it based on how fast they clear. u ask some youtuber they define it by how worth they are primos compared to f2p option C_KEKTao

elder cliff
#

right, I forgot that abys constantly changes

humble tiger
#

if this was a pvp game, u could easily just define it by the best scorers. but that doesnt exist here

#

the teyvat stock exchange failed as a concept for this very reason

weak mountain
#

This isn't meant to define everything lol. It's looking at a specific set of circumstances in a controlled environment and how units stack up. It will not account into ease because that's subjective. I can't measure how easy it is to use one unit.

humble tiger
#

how about this: if you can just give 1 example with a character and how this would look like, no offense but im pretty confident i can break it apart with how subjective it is

#

doesnt have to be perfect but just a rough example

just give 1 character example on how u envision this to look like

The teyvat stock exchange

#

That’s what it was called

#

Tried to quantified a units value according to current abyss

elder cliff
#

man you learn new things everyday

humble tiger
#

it was essentially a kqm tier list but a stock exchange version of it. but it was so subjective and half of the teams weren't being personally tested so it was just going off of what other people say

#

which is fine cause it was an impossible ton of work to maintain but it shows the flaws

knotty patio
#

it was fun project though, right?

weak mountain
knotty patio
#

it failed early on when we had little chars, no we have near 1.4x more so it would be really hard to update

elder cliff
humble tiger
weak mountain
#

That's our point disagreement, which I can respect if you don't agree.

humble tiger
#

here's an example, iwtl and tenten clearly play the game in two different ways. do u think they define unit performance with the same parameters? E_think

weak mountain
#

But how you play the game is subjective. How units perform on a neutral field isn't.

humble tiger
#

they are both inherently linked

weak mountain
#

In my mind there is a progression.

knotty patio
#

wouldn't that just be dps ranking at this point

vale scarab
#

the game isnt an even field though

#

assumptions always have to be made

weak mountain
#

This initial stage is looking to set the framework.

humble tiger
#

the biggest assumption is what metrics a person actually cares about for character performance

#

to elaborate on my previous example
shenhe is a agreed upon to be a direct upgrade for ayaka freeze teams in general content, compared to a rosaria or kaeya.
iwtl will say she is valuable because she is the bis. he is interested in how fast teams can clear
tenten would disagree and say a $200 for a small upgrade is not valuable. he is interested in how much money a f2p player can save

who's definition of performance is right?

weak mountain
#

The entire thing is meant to measure replacement value as a measure of character performance. Lol

#

I think you're taking replacement value the wrong way.

humble tiger
#

i did mention earlier, it would be helpful if you could give an example on what this would look like, with 1 character

weak mountain
#

Yeah once I'm able to get calcs rolling it may be easier for everyone to understand.

humble tiger
#

but what exactly are u calcing?

weak mountain
#

I'll have a writeup with my information and I feel like that point is the best to open up for feedback and criticism where as here I'm barely off the ground 😅

dark forum
humble tiger
#

but if you have some calc method, maybe it can help explain things better

humble tiger
#

a god tier team to him was like sucrose taser or yanfei overvape cause the investment (and skill) required to get someone their first 36* clear seems very low

dark forum
#

That's exactly what I mean. This is how I envision it kinda:
you give your preferences as a number into the function, including skill floor as you said
something like "on a scale of 1 to 5, how much do you value ease of play?"
and you get a array of values for how 'optimal' characters are for your current lineup
of course it would never be perfect, but I'd like to think it would be better than current tier list meta A_HmmTao

humble tiger
#

right, but the issue with that then becomes, who's testing all this. is someone gonna test every team at multiple levels of investments?

#

or are they just gonna take shortcuts and feelscraft how well a team/unit performs

#

because its impossible for someone to have played and tc'd every viable team

dark forum
#

I didn't think about that A_HuSadge

elder cliff
#

well, we haven't even going to the data collection yet. I'm still curious about what variables are in play here

#

DPS/Heal Number/DPR/Staminamanagement/Shield durability/yada yada yada?

humble tiger
#

they said they'll get back with the calcs and parameters at a later point

elder cliff
#

sure, interested in the methodology anyway

humble tiger
#

but like i said, not trying to be an ass but im almost certain it will be subjective stuff and borderline feelscrafting

#

and can therefore be broken apart

elder cliff
#

honestly this project ain't easy feat by the looks of it. It might be alright if he starts it slowly by looking at smaller scale

#

probbably just like... freeze/cryo team

#

by the team or gameplay/playstyle maybe

humble tiger
#

i dont see how theres a calc you can do to assess that

elder cliff
#

me neither, but who knows he might came up with a great idea

humble tiger
#

im guessing it could have been going by avg clear times on the abyss site, but then clear times are relevant to performance for how many people?

#

(ignoring sample size etc)

elder cliff
humble tiger
#

(also ignoring different investments and skill issues)

humble tiger
#

isnt that another measure of performance

elder cliff
humble tiger
#

ok, but how will someone rate teams on those metrics. are they going to test each team?

#

and also does ease mean easy rotations, or does it mean strong shield with lots of healing

elder cliff
#

well, not only easy rotations, probably even factoring in messing up the rotation. somethine like if you made the wrong rotation, how much the impact would be

humble tiger
#

so someone would have to calculate dps dropoff for inprecise rotations?

elder cliff
#

that's gonna be a bummer to try to 'score' it tho, that's why I'm just clueless as you are

humble tiger
#

also what if the person doing this rating does not have access to every unit?

vale scarab
#

i liked the teyvat stock exchange

humble tiger
elder cliff
#

well, there's GCsim, there are also people capable of sheeting, but boy that's gonna take a lot of brainpower and manpower to try all of those combinations

#

it takes a lot to convince them to test that all out

humble tiger
#

what about klee? how many people haven't even played mono pyro but will happily say that she is hard to play

#

how could we trust that unit performance review

elder cliff
#

yeah ease of use is subjective you mean

humble tiger
#

i mean yeah, its almost all subjective lol

#

everything about a "unit performance" is subjective

#

and ultimately, sounds like a ton of work regardless so at the end of the day it might not even happen

#

as u mentioned

elder cliff
#

well, I might want to see the methodology first before saying anything honestly. But before that I can't see myself doing anything before the bases are laid out. That's from me

humble tiger
#

as harsh as this is, ultimately theres a reason people either do dogshit tier lists or they just dont give an opinion at all.
it's impossible to have any noteworthy assessment without it being subjective

elder cliff
#

it's not a small project, even on the smallest scale. But I can see the idea/intention

humble tiger
#

yeah i know, i didnt wanna be harsh but thats why i was pushing for an example of what they were planning

#

to try and find holes in it

#

i dont want to discourage someone new to tc, but also, theres a reason why topics of tier lists or character reviews trigger a lot of ppl on this server.
so much subjectivity and unescapable bias

elder cliff
#

unless they just shitposting then !!bonk is coming their way

#

most of the time the discussion from tierlist triggering actually is quite civil, kinda proud of the community for that

humble tiger
#

yeah its allowed. but doesn't change that this is a pve game with no single goal

elder cliff
#

well it's great that we don't have that leaderboard mech in the game. People can just play whatever the heck they want and set the goal whatever they desire

#

but when the question arise of "I only have this much, but I have this goal, what should I do?" then the comparison gets into play

#

heck, if the goal is to speedrunning artifact runs, I'd put Sayu in S tier A_HuKek

#

it's cool that we don't ahve a definition of 'win' in this game. I mean most people even don't do abyss

spice hound
#

How do you see this rotation?
Beidou EQ
Childe rQ
Sayu E
Fischl E/Q
Sayu Q
Childe E stance (10-12s)
Sayu E
[A_HuTaoDerp ]

I won't be able to test for myself in the next few hours to see if the cool-downs will add up, tried to fit another Beidou E but i don't see space for it. Rn i'm mostly trying to see what the ER needs for this comp would look like (C6 Fischl, C6 Sayu, C1 Childe)

spice hound
#

Update: the rotation is very consistent as it is so probably won't be adding anything else, prioritizing a second Sayu E to have more VV uptime.

hasty wigeon
#

Rq childe there is prob not a good idea

#

Wastes animation tim

#

Just do childe e swap thats 2u, and a common setup for a lot of childe first rot swirls

#

Also youre losing a shitton of bei procs

spice hound
#

Could do Childe E swap instead there and weave in some autos with Childe and Fischl in that part, then do Childe rQ right before the second Sayu E

hasty wigeon
#

Just dont pop so many abilities during beidou's uptime

spice hound
#

Yeah no other than VV, could use Kaz for more damage, or replace Beidou with Sara like in the comp Maxi sheeted with Ayato instead of Childe

but C_HuPepeSmile i'm not really aiming for that kind of damage

elder cliff
#

wellno buff but essentially there're 3 DPSes there

#

all muscle there

spice hound
#

Yeah and thinking about it, Childe doesn't really abuse buffs as much as other units anyway

In terms of versatility and stuff
Shenhe or Kazuha for Ayaka? Because I’m currently maining her and I’m not sure whether shenhe or kazuha bevause if I go for shenhe I’ll miss out on kazoo buff and if I go for KAZUHA I might place him with Tao so it might ahhh

#

Generally these elements benefit more just having 2 of them + probably an anemo buffer. Pyro messes up freeze.
For the amp comps, the vv buff + the extra buff an anemo like Suc/Kaz can give you will outscale the chance of dealing 2x instead of 1.5x damage 30% of the time (on average, 30% is the case for Hu Tao at least).

the only downside is that people who are actually looking for tc for actual tc would probably miss it pretty easily

#

but honestly that's like 1/20 times or something

#

just a suggestion to see if it works rename tc-lounge to ttheorycrafting lounge

#

and see if that helps at all

#

and rename theorycrafting to tc

fading light
#

Maybe change this to "Theorytesting" because for what i can gather out of the questions
is people that used to go to the "old" theorycrafting not knowing it changed A_HmmTaoFlip

outer crow
#

that might work too

#

my theory is that people look for the key word theorycrafting and just go to whatever channel they see has that first to get their questions answered

#

and if they actually bring up a topic that warrants discussion in the actual tc chat in the lounge chat then people will just redirect them to the actual tc chat

#

if this idea is true you could rename the theorycrafting channel to anything and as long as the tc lounge redirects them to the actual tc chat

#

could actually be deez nuts and it wouldnt matter

fading light
#

Depending on the question most would awnser them im tc lounge, unless they asked during a "random talk" and gets buried

Otherwise i feel that keeping redirecting to ghelp instead is the way to go, until the old way of coming to tc to ask questions gets changed on the brains of casual askwrs

Albeit the fact the a lot of the askers do so when the message from the bot its right there infront of them and they still ignore it

Im very excited to see how much intensified will buff electro

#

I was praying for dendro to buff electro and it actually happened aPES_PoggerDance

smoky wedge
#

Yeah

crimson thorn
#

the particle thing is eh tho, I feel like just making a copy pasta of the electro resonance is boring

smoky wedge
#

Overgrown seems good too tbh

crimson thorn
#

yeah its probably gonna be mandatory to use hydro for dendro dps' what do you say fenhqHmm

smoky wedge
#

Probably

crimson thorn
#

I guess ayatos ult value just skyrocketed

smoky wedge
#

Overgrown will scale with em right?

#

I’m guessing stringless childe dendro will be a good combo if that’s the case

tepid pendant
#

Sooo can intensify actually be on par with melt and vapo?
Cuz if not I'm going to be mad
I keep spamming them buff electro dmg reaction on every survey

crimson thorn
#

I wonder tho, is the dendro explosion based on the hydro unit? since the hydro triggers the explosion

smoky wedge
#

But idk tbh

crimson thorn

its what electro needed, its the only element from the 4 base ones that doesnt have a big reaction

steady beacon
#

This is very speculative and kinda copium but I think vape-growth could very much be a thing were icd Pyro application wouldn't matter as much for example:
With a Dendro unit and an Hydro on field like Ayato and and off field Pyro(Thoma might be a good choice since he is so undervalued)here Dendro+Hydro causing overgrowth can be a continuous supply for Dendro which can be further used to drive overgrowth and burning with Pyro from the of field unit which you can forward vape as well
If this will work on or greatly depends on the Dendro and Pyro application from overgrowth and burning as of now this is just a speculation

apply 1u pyro to dendro (probably 1u) then apply 1u hydro, removes pyro aura from burning and reveals dendro aura

The Burning damage will apply 2U Pyro in a small AoE around the Burning object or person.

it doesnt apply to the user

# tranquil burrow I made this for Ayaka

I dont think thats totally fair tho
for a lvl 90 Ayaka + Mistsplitter, 100 ATK its basically 2 average ATK% rolls
but 10% CDMG is less than 2 average CDMG% rolls

tranquil burrow
#

In my opinion Atk and Crit damage has equal values and they should be balanced

#

In most cases 100 atk is somewhat equal to 14% which is more than 2 average cd rolls

#

For example for a build with 2400 atk and 220 crit damage, adding 14% crit damage gives around 24 more damage than 100 atk per tick, almost equal.

#

Another example: for a build with 2000 atk and 270 crit damage, adding 100 atk gives 140~ more damage than 14% cd per tick. Value of attack is more significant here

both my buddy and i have c0 + mist and he runs an atk circlet on his but i have an okay cd circlet on mine, and when i play his ayaka in abyss i swear she just feels better

tranquil burrow
#

Yeah, I think Atk circlets are magical

#

My two best builds for Ayaka are 1- 2462 atk and 262% crit damage (with cd circlet) 2- 2829 atk with 219% crit damage (with atk circlet)

#

And guess what? Atk circlet build with 2800 atk deals more damage (it even has 5 more crit rate)

#

But of course this is because I dont use any Atk% buffs like Ttods, 4p no etc.

#

First build would be better with these kinda buffs

#

Lastly about Shenhe, her buff dmg scales a lot better with crit damage. Atk circlet loses here

# wooden belfry any special assumptions?

Assumptions are a bit of a mess and I need to redo them at somepoint but general gist is melt is fully buffed CAs in XL melt while freeze is 16.5s morgana and 30 icicles but not snapshot cos I forgot and probably too low freeze uptime,but rough idea should be there.

I have a question. When calculating about EC comp, do we have any idea of who will trigger more EC than other character or it's just assumption? Also would distance and speed of the attack proc (Xingqiu rainsword / Beidou burst / Oz / ...) matter?

Does anybody know if this damage calculator has issues?: https://gidmgcalculator.github.io/csb-g7is6/
I cross checked with another user and there seems to be an issue in the way this calc calculates damage% (Hamayumi r5 passive always outdamage Amos R1 5 stacks C_HuSusge ).
Do you guys have another damage calculator you can recommend? B_ZhongHmm

Hello! i want to ask something regarding what Ubatcha leaked about the new elemental reaction intensified

#

i currently cannot access the dendro theorycrafting channel, so i was hoping to get some insight

#

When Ubatcha said Base Damage Increase, what is it?

check the pins there

you can see it

#

I'm working on some Eula teams, and I'm mainly interested in comparing Geo resonance team v.s Raiden.

Mainly because Raiden extends duration, while Albedo takes minimum field time

#

So far, so good

#

Only thing remaining is to calc personal dps of Albedo v.s Raiden,

and gonna see if losing Superconduct and Raiden buff is that significant v.s shortening duration, and having Geo resonance

fair aspen
#

Cryo res might need mapping too with Albedo E in play

#

Its probably not guaranteed on her burst

devout void
#

Wouldn't Rosaria Q be enough to keep up? It ticks faster than Albedo

#

Though you are right, ZL pillar will threaten it as well.

Maybe sacrifice ToM by putting pillar far is safer

oh

pine ivy
#

can you crit on immune hits

modest chasm
#

so if the intensified damage scaled off of the EM of the characters that triggers the reaction we can't have a support with high EM that applies the debuff right?

cold folio
#

its a 3 part reaction

#

aura > trigger > receiver

modest chasm
#

what determines the magnitude of the buff

cold folio
#

receiver EM

modest chasm
#

ah yeah, I just realized I mis-typed my question

#

that's kinda a bummer cause we can't have a specialized buffer with high EM then no?

cold folio
#

dps has to have the EM basically

#

its still very solid with low EM though from what I recall

modest chasm
#

so units that will constantly apply electro/dendro will be good for this reaction?
Is it possible Shinobu is designed with this in mind?

#

although the argument that fischl is still better probably remains

cold folio
#

possibly but we really need to see dendro units before we make any calls

modest chasm
#

Sounds like a more convoluted vape/melt tbh, but if the numbers are there I don't mind it

regal basin
#

Do we know when the dendro x electro boost applies?
Like
If it's before or after the talent multiplier
My guess is that it's after
Which would make chars with a lot of low multiplier talents but a bunch of hits a lot better
But yeah just to make sure

Can you tell if the intensified affects the base dmg like Shenhe's buff. Or does it increases atk like Bennet/Sara?

Hi guys, please explain how exactly the cutting of resists in the genshin works? What does it look like in the damage formula? For example, using an anemone set. It cuts off 40% of resists, how much damage does it actually give a buff? Thanks for the answer

fair aspen
# short steeple Hi guys, please explain how exactly the cutting of resists in the genshin works?...

You can check the damage formula here: https://library.keqingmains.com/damage

As for the resist part specifically, see the picture. It depends on the specific enemy resists to tell say how much damage is increased. Below 0% resistance, it's halved. #・genshin-help can answer this next time!

VV is anywhere from 166% to 127% increase depending on the resistance.

An explanation as to how outgoing damage is calculated.

Lithic spear with xiao would be incredibly good on xiao if there was another anemo liyue character that boosts anemo dmg

Paired with xiangling and qiqi or zhongli, that would make a not so bad team for him

But i don't think they'll be releasing any new liyue units now that sumeru is near
