good night
This anime opening
op shithead mc

fr im so tired of the insta strong characters
or generally of the isekai trope
everything after tensura is ruined imo
this one was such a bullshit bait and switch too
yea
I'm waiting for Jujutsu Kaisen 
the only thing i somewhat liked after all of that good isekais that was kinda nice Kenja no Mago
and thats bcs in that they had romance
like actual romance in isekai

My favourite isekai
I mean they totally could have gone with exactly what they said they were going to, and actually made a good anime, but they had to go with the 'oh it's actually stronk it's all just a conspiracy'
Kumo desu ga
Still a trashsekai, but one mc this season enters another world because the father and his sect threw him off a cliff
yeah
Kenja no mago one of the best
I'm still waiting for a non-guro themed isekai where the protagonist actually has to struggle to become strong enough to survive.
Have they fixed auto input for mobile?
It's an android issue, not a paimon issue
So we can't?
I mean, Arifureta is pretty close, but it's method is a bit too simple and he doesn't struggle very long.
- Tensura
- Mushoku Tensei
- Tate no Yuusha
- Re:Zero
- Overlord ( if it would be the LN its like higher but the anime is top 6* imo.)
- Youjo Senki
- Kumo Desu Ga
- KonoSuba
- Arifureta (WN)
- No Game No Life (Manga / LN)
I hate re:Zero
nah its the most realistic if you would be a normal ass average dude
personal opinion mind, it's not a bad anime, I just can't like it.
Thx
spawned with latent revive powers in a world you cannot fathom to understand
and the LN is just
Are they all isekai?
coom
Where is slime
yeah it's way to far down the guro side for me to enjoy though.
Tensura
If only ngnl got another season
is the short version of Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
Yes
yes
its top 1
its literally no1
?
xD
i read the wn and ln
the manga and the anime
I couldn't read lol
i got merch
Nicee
Same
I also don't like Overlord, but I do not care for manga in general.
dude
the LN IS BUSSIN
I got a milim figure with rimuru
wait
you too?
i wanted the galaxy resin slime form
but that shit was 110€ for 30cm figure (statue?)
Merch is costly here
Which one?
wait lemme search for u rl
The relax time one
I don't like villain tropes anyway, so it already starts with a negative mark, and I feel like he gets way to dismissive of human life, without any real introspection about it.
Cool
it was limited dude
I understand that he's become undead, and the emotions he should have about it are muted or non-existent, but I expect his rational mind to at least note the fact.
bro i love villain tropes
i most times root for the villains
everyone's got their own thing. XD
as they most often have the rational thoughts and Overlord just straight up spits on the friendship and talk no jutsu trope
xDD
true
I still watch the show, I just don't particularly care for it
Give someone the funds and they could prob make a close approximation nowadays
in the ln he is quite how should we say
torn up between his undead mind and his human one
and then he gets all shy and bound up by the stupid romantic arc. 😛
i honestly dont know where to start to get someone to do it for me
P
yeah sadly the japanese studios aint that advanced with story telling anymore
i remember when i watched neon genesis evangelion
maybe the anime just sucks at actually providing that bit
shit mate my head hurt with the whole plot
or that
Only 381k 
hey, I'm happy that I finally broke 300k. Mind, I don't use meta teams, I don't build my characters for maximum output, and I don't crit fish so...
well, the biggest issues are
- getting a mold for the figure.
- getting the resin and glitter for it
- not messing up the curing process
- final touch-up and adding the linework
printing the mask with a 3d printer is prob the easiest of the bunch
I also don't use Bennett.
I don't like meta
sounds like a huge hassle
Kinda boring
do you think someone would be doing that shit for 300€ max?

Dead Mount Death Play seems promising
I really liked Death march to the parallel world: Rhapsody, but I am beginning to lose hope that they'll get a second season.
with a name as cringe as that, it can only go in two directions, but the og behind it is the same as durarara and baccano
I liked it as well but the issue is
most likely they wont get a s2
and there was one with a dude being born into a low class and being involved into a princess kidnapping plot
gets tortured and then basically as a sorry gets thrown into a academy for spirits
spirits chronicles was it yea?
then again, they gave a second season to 'In another world with my smartphone' so anything is possible I guess.
dude
sorry for the autor but
that smartphone isekai got a new season
is blasphemy
Dc gw kenapa sih
lol
that they even got a season in the first place was a blasphemy
btw i loved Isekai Nonbiri Nouka
nah, blasphemy was the fruit of evolution
Oh yeah
that one too

and the 8th son are you kidding me? was good as well
iirc
that one was pretty amusing
out of morbid curiosity, I checked in on the second episode. he got the second isle by projecting his sight underneath the loli robot's skirt. she was going full commando
I'm wondering if they're going to continue the mom one, considering they just put out my one hit kill sister 😛
ah yeah and he needed to know what panty color it was right?
also one that kinda is on my back mind was
yep
healer?
yeah
and isekai harem was just basically a eroge
I'd rather have a second season of redo of a healer than smartphone isekai and his 5 brides
BRO
AHHAHAHAHAHAH
yes
agreed
i wanted to look into the s2
so i rewatched s1 till ep 2
i quit
idk how i could watch that shit when i was a teen
do you watch uncle from another world? XD
you mean smapho?
was funny
but honestly
mabel deserves better
did you mean smapho isekai?
fr fr
yes
Suzailgillazegallnelbuzegillreagranzelga Elga "Elf" was the best tsun elf in isekai
change my mind
I mean that's why everyone thinks he's an orc.
to be fair, I forgot all about season 1 from that bs
despite this being the first mc to actually propose to a girl
sure, he proposes to 4 at once, but eh
the only thing i remember being kinda cool was like the battlefield in japan or smth
where he just kills everybody like a drone strike from air
yeah wisemans grandchild proposes as well tho
Farming Life in Another World
is so good as well btw
like the ln and manga are mighty fine
like you see the LI and his interaction with his wife || its actually wives|| and interaction with his child || its actually multiple children but yes ||
though I would really like to see a character that is not a goddamn oblivious moron that isn't either absurdly pervy, or squeamish about anything related to the fairer sex.
I wish we got anime like clannad nowadays, instead of 4 harem and 17 ecchi per season
Biggest issue of Isekai is that most of them are just copy pasta dragon quest or dungeons and dragons vanilla fantasy setting + gimmick, that's entertainment for like 2 episodes and then it's lost it's novelty 
Youjo Senki was a MAD banger
destroyed the trope upon entry
Youjo senki is nice, I love the black humor
for some reason, japanese love their pseudo-european medieval setting.
the death from above
they assume germany just has blond haired blue eyed fckers or same with the russians
its mad funny
actually now that I think about it, Chillin' in my 30's is probably the most normal human male reaction in anime.
But still there always must be a token samurai character 
lmao
true
yea
And Nippon steel katana always the strongest blade
Re:Zero, Farming Life in Another World + Chilllin in my 30's are quite natural reactions to a new world
Except wooden katana, that's at the very top of ATK power
re:zero? o.o dude is obsessive and gets quite stupid around any attractive woman and dies several times because of it. 😛
I find it funny that Katana are revered in the anime pop culture as godtier unmatched swords
even though they are made for soft targets / light armor (most times even leather armor) esque type of situations
and they rust so fast
yes a pathetic fuck in another world
quite realistic
as there are pathetic fucks like him in this world as well
big picture smort
There's an Isekai manga that's kinda similar where the mc can stop time and just cheats his way from one quest to the next, while undressing every female he meets to check their goods
eh, he's more of a trope than realistic, sure tropes are based on some types, but I don't consider that realistic, just stereotypical.
Dark souls Isekai, learning by dying 
I quite like Heavenly Delusion and Hell's Paradise this season
Dead Mount Death Play is the only isekai-esque anime I watch this season. though best to describe it as reverse-isekai
and if we count reincarnation, Oshi no Ko is a great one
obv, watch dr. stone and ancient magus' bride if you watched the other seasons
idk why anime likes to have the sexual harassment, rape'ish tope so acceptable most times even almost regarded as funny
Cause Japan is extremely sexist 
Idk if i would want to watch Oshi no ko, its about idol pop culture no?
they like cheating (ntr) as well
they see those topics the same way american television sees murder. it's just something to add into a scene to spice things up
Probably won't have a female PM this century
I mean while I'm sure someone would probably do this, and maybe it tells a good story(?) I don't really consider that a natural reaction, either. 😛
or mind control type of shit
I find it mega disgusting honestly
or the leech dumb mc or the shonen mc type of ways blind to romantic advances
Buying slaves in Isekai because of trust issues
or literally brain dead retarded shit
I am not defending it, I just told you why it's so common
is something i despise so hard
i know
i never stated otherwise
just stated my opinion
agreed
wasn't there a season with 5 isekai, all of which bought slaves? lol
yes
speaking of harem, this season has another trash one.
which one?
i will just straight up blacklist it
i cannot bother with trash isekais anymore
goddesses of terrace cafe or some shit like that?
it's not an isekai, but trash harem
It's pretty common at this point, I read a funny manga a while ago where the genders were reversed though, a pretty helpless female poitionmaker mc buys an oni slave to fight for her, but she didnt know about his species high sex drive so he masturbate is every night and now she tries to abandon him, but just can't do it for real
think "boy moves into an all-girls dorm" setting, but everyone is legal
that`s the best description I can give you
bruh
oh, and all are as useless as your drunkard dad
one thing i remember that was a trope that died off somewhat is the
The plot of Infinite stratos 
male in a female only school
so basically Negima
hah ye
infinite stratos at least had a somewhat interesting story compared to that
What a world we live in, where infinite Stratos ain't the worst premise anymore 
Hundred - Infinite Stratos - Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut
are the mecha
dude in female only school trope
I rather liked Negima, that said, harems do tend to work under a lower bar than other anime. Some actually end up good... but most...
Never watched it
:/
The funny part about negima is, at about the half point of the manga it becomes a classic battle shonen Manga instead of the school romance stuff 
^
And the fights toward the end become really epic
Negima is pretty decent, but it's also an older anime before everyone and their grandmother was trying to fill in every possible trope imaginable

ken akamatsu was known before that for love hina anyway
The background of that happing is also quite interesting, as the mangaka ken akamatsu was basically forced to continue making harem romance stuff after AI love you and love Hina by his publisher, bit sneaky bastard just switched genre midway through negima 
also, just to warn you guys: don't touch kamukatsu, ever
I mean, harem anime definitely aren't new. They're just easy.
like, this is in episode one. a face not even a mother could love.
Kamikatsu?
Urusei yatsura was for harem what Dragonball is for shonen manga
gto

what is scp-682 doing here
?
Grenadier is a bizarre anime based on guns and tits that is amazing XD
one anime thats in the back of my mind was Kämpfer
ranma?
Nowadays the easiest way to make money with little creativity is combine every popular genre and get a good characterdesigner to draw some bishoujo, like kage no jitsuryokusha, Isekai, harem, highschool, shonen battle
the scp foundation is trying to kill it with 3d cgi cringe
yeah Ranma genderbending since the 80s
damn
then i missed that completely
:/
urusei yatsura's author
rumiko takahashi
there was a lot of good older manga anyway
Boing boob revolver reload, never forget
ayakashi triangle had a genderbent mc thanks to a yaokai, but that one got put on hiatus due to time crunch not working
vampire hunter d
Earth in 20 years, when feminists and red pill incels start a real war that's not just online anymore
HAHAHAHA
full 3d is fine. it's an issue when everything else is flatter than a pancake
and you have seen the scp that escaped into this anime
Only decent CG anime I've seen so far is houseki no Kuni
I've seen some stylized 2d/3d cgi that was quite interesting... but probably not the route most will go.
also, for artistic reasons, Bunraku. It's not anime, but it's amazing. XD
Some things work with CG and some don't like berserk🙈
Berserk hurts my brain
land of the lustrous and knights of sidonia are the only 3d anime I enjoyed
okay, I must sleep.
Yeah, quite unexpected, tsutomu nihei was not known for cheap happy endings before that
yea but htis one was like
"ok either the author lost interest completely"
"or his magazine told him to end serialising"
all the plot behind the gauna unresolved

I still find blame to be one of the most interesting manga of all time storytelling wise, it's basically circular
the sidonia 3d design was amazing though

heavy mass cannon
I remember when they wanted to make a third season, but then it turned into a movie
a massive 10 story tall chunk of metal
Heavy object still the most ridiculous premise ever for a series
Currently finally got around to watch fire force while farming, that anime has some smooth fighting animation, David production has really come a long way, since the first season of Jojo
speaking of, I should get the oasis to 100%
i love the sounds especially in fire force
their fcking sfx is insane
Anime/Fire force
(first season)
HEADPHONE WARNING U WILL NUT
Can you get to the other side of the barrier in the current version and if yes, from where ?
I haven't found anything yet, so I'm guessing we can't go there.
is there a world lvl 9, or is 8 max?
8 is max.
what's the highst base atk bow with er subs that isn't a 5*
it has the prettiest visuals
Prob fading twilight but it's an event bow
300+ /srs

I think I've got an upgrade for my scara
sorta
old one:
new one:
won 3 points in crit value
Welp I broke the game by exploring the beach line in the new area and got stuck behind a rock and now paimon is on a loop

gotta hate paimon spamming we should explore this area later
Depends on Cons too, but anywhere between 280-300 (for non-C6) 
c1

C2 in 10 days 

Ayo is it a common glitch to hold skill with sorush and then have her stuck in that place and no longer following you lol
...that's the intended use of her hold skill
Wait why would you need that
it literally tells you several times?
to keep some passages open or these annoying flowers in the swamp up, for example
Oh maybe I just haven't seen those mechanics yet
It's not a bug, it's a feature 
Oof need a break from gaming but so far, really enjoying the puzzles and mechanics this update 👍
The connecting currents in the underground facilities had some real ratchet and clank vibes 
ok got a question
if i get yaotao
yaoyao*
is it better than going koko for kuki hyperbloom
rn going kuki nahida yelan koko
hi i cleared my cached data & didn't realize it would make me lose all my wish history, is there a way to retrieve it or is everything past the last 6 months gone forever?
Why a second healer if you already have Kuki
None is particularly good there, would be if you were doing Raiden instead of Kuki for hyperbloom trigger but otherwise you'd be better off bringing an offensive unit
Could be Xingqiu, Kazuha (to amp Yelan's damage), Fischl, Haitham, Ayato are all better options @hearty mason
Gone unless you had a backup
:-( thank you
no
make backups smh
Even Zhongli if you really need more defence, since at least he brings the shred
Hi! So i just get Nilou earlier and i wonder how much is the minimum HP i can expect to have without her signature weapon? I am using Jade Cutter atm for the bonus HP%
I have 61k right now. But i haven't using the new hp% artefact on her
eh i'm using 2 milelith 2 +80 em
you wanna use 2pc Tenacity of the Millelith + 2pc Vourukasha's Glow badly
assuming you run hydro resonance, pjc, triple hp
though 61k without key is quite good
key would be the difference to 71k
Yes! I just started to farm the the new Vourukasha artefact. Haven't got an HP% stats so far
would prefer better subs on the flower and feather, but for now I am quite satisfied
your nilou would prob look like this with key
but f2p people can't afford this weapon banner
Hey, will Kaveh be added to the Character Calculator soon?
Soon™️
hope so
@odd lance has leveled up to LEVEL 1 
i keep using nahida as my base lmao
Oh hell, these guys in 12-3 next update FUCK THAT SHIT
Hoyo is doing the funny 
Honestly as along as you have a fully built hyperbloom team than the right side ain't bad enemy wise
Left side however 💀💀
Specially with the third chamber. Good luck not getting burning
anyone wanna run new domain w me?
ez clap
Yes I will easily get clapped
Also wtf is supposed to be 12-1-2??? Am I supposed to run a burgeon team 💀💀
Haitham nahida fischl bennett
Quicken/hyper team
Fischl can snapshot Bennett for pogging
No haitham
Well if the speculation is true
😏
But yeah haitham would slam first half
Or second half
Really any content
He do be the best carry (by a huge margin) for a reason
yeah im not being sarcastic or facetious or anything
its just true
No I agree with you
Ignore my atk sands but fr hes my booboo keys
i guess i just relentless use "real..." to be sarcastic
i see 
I do need an em sands though the domain is unkind to me😔
i ended up skipping his initial run because the nerfs were really offputting and yelan was up next
but i almost ended up pulling for him anyways because i have a BALLER artifact set to use on him
so now im just waiting

You should’ve pulled he goes crazy in a hyperbloom team
i got 2 yelan copies so no regrets
Im so serious hes so fucking good even at c0
100% yes
he is a complete, versatile, and powerful unit at c0
5* weapons not even needed hit his r1 is damn good for him
Genuinely like he doesnt even need cons to be good
Like the most I’d consider going for is c2 but bro
You don’t even need it
🤲🏻 I love him hes so silly
im planning on c0r1 and then running this build
his stats with only gilded, dendro resonance, and nahida a1
Do I have to finish the sorush quest before I gain access to the new boss?
The abyss boss? Or the weekly?
Abyss
abyss is totally disconnected
Whenever u want lol
abyss is only locked behind ur dps
well, u hav to get to the island physically first i guess xd
???? I meant that triple element thingy in the new region
Wandered around from the teleport point and can't find it 😭
Lmao
Well matariel said abyss or weekly 😭
Where even is the arena 😭
undergroun
thers a huge flat stone platform and light shining from above
u cant miss it
- misses it *
it looks like any other boss arena lol
Oh it's underground. I was searching on surface. Haven't gotten that underground teleport unlocked yet

Why y'all acting like everyone should be speedrunning 😒
So I can enjoy the scenery
As u wish. 
awwww 
[Reply to:](#💭・general message) we think of abyss
done
I've been trying to build quicken yae alt ever since I get alt, but god damn, hyperbloom kuki alt still better
since what
too many alts that no longer make sense
Is the current blessing giid
do u wanna try writing that sentence again
what a great day to have a built xiao then 💪
Die with honor.
I don’t know what that means 😔
the electro that's actually hitting the Dendro Cores
Raiden's really good for it because of her insane skill uptime, and as a bonus, she can often hit multiple of the wenut's anemo orbs to knock it out of the air
Swag🫡 (alhaitham died on 12-1)
I gave up on floor 11-2 ( I got lazy )
Too much HP pool this abyss 😬

Hyperbloom x Punch
(Yes, I realize I should probably have Yelan and Sucrose/Kazuha)
anyone wann run domains?
Sucrose/Kazuha won't be doing much in that team though
Sucrose at least has EM share
You already have Kuki as the trigger, so the scenario where you want anemo, specially Sucrose but Heizou can work almost as good as her, is not happening here. You'd only want Sucrose/Heizou if you want to run something like DMC/Fischl/hydro so you swirl electro and trigger hyperbloom with the anemo, but ime it's not as smooth (harder to guarantee you'll consistently swirl electro).
Not mentioning Nahida because she will make it even harder to swirl electro
They would be doing more, but are they as fun as Heizou? Debatable.

Basically I just wanted to punch things, and I was thinking about how best to punch things. It's always best to get some sort of Swirl, and Nilou's persistent Hydro application will let me Swirl every time. And then I realized that Hydro application would go beautifully with Nahida and Kuki for Hyperbloom
True lmao, I did build an EM Heizou for hyperbloom in my Asia account as well, even if he is not ideal
But that's the very reason why I know that hyperbloom with anemo as the trigger ain't particularly smooth lmao
It's just, at least ime, hard to swirl electro consistently, and hard to swirl anything at all if running Nahida unless you have enough hydro to overtake her high dendro app
But come to think of it, does Nilou apply enough Hydro to both trigger Blooms and let Heizou Swirl?
Definitely not
She'll trigger some blooms yeah, but you ain't swirling much in that comp
A comp to maximise seed* generation would be Nahida, XQ and Yelan
Heizou is very hungry for elemental application. Not a ton of stuff can keep up with him if he wants to swirl everything.
"Top" hyperbloom team would be Raiden, but most run Kuki which is almost the same just that she includes healing
Forget about that, Nahida will keep a dendro aura at all times xD
Considering that all Nilou does with that version of her skill is apply Wet, it could theoretically overpower Nahida's Dendro
Nope
Because making Blooms consumes a lot of Dendro gauge
Nahida's dendro app is 1.5u
Petition to make dendro swirlable so it just outright breaks the game. Pls and thank you, HYV.
Nilou hydro is nowhere near as close as Yelan/XQ
And hydro is the weaker in the interaction between hydro and dendro
Aka hydro consumes 0.5x dendro while dendro on hydro consumes 2x hydro
Aka you'll generally be left with a dendro aura when applying hydro onto dendro, but if you apply dendro onto hydro you'll generally be left with no aura
I've had times where I've eaten the entire Dendro gauge with Quicken and Bloom
That's, well, quicken and bloom
If you don't believe me though, here
https://keqingmains.com/misc/dendro/#Dendro_Gauge_Mechanics
More specifically
welp no swirls for me I guess
Add to that that Nahida has higher dendro app than most dendro units, with an unique gauge of 1.5 instead of the usual 1
oh well. Not like I built Heizou with EM anyway
Either case, you already have Kuki which I assume is built on EM, it's just that Heizou ain't doing much on that team (and his personal damage will also be on the lower side since there is no one buffing him there), but alas, I assume it was a team for fun to begin with so xD
You do want to replace Nilou eventually if you are "serious" about a good hyperbloom team, and, ofc, Heizou but yeah xD
A team for fun has no rules tbh
This team was meant to be punching with hyperbloom on the side
Not hyperbloom with punching on the side
nahida 2 stronk
But yeah, DMC would allow Heizou to swirl something
Fixed it
Curious about the Mika choice ngl xD
If I were to recommend something, I'd say Bennett, you can do sunfire and buff Heizou
But then again Nilou has no use there, and I assume you want Nilou there because you like her
This Bennett?
Well, I'd recommend building him lmao
no, Nilou is there for hydro application. Her skill ticks 4x/s, so any new enemy in range is going to have a Hydro aura when punched
But then again, if it's a team for fun, my recommendations hold no value
Now if you intend to tackle abyss with that, you'll have a rather hard time xD
No XQ?
xingqiu exists just to press Q and switch out, which is so incredibly boring
His skill is terribly designed
His skill can be a pretty nice nuke though
I wouldn't say he has a bad design, but seems more like you don't like quickswap chars
He is very quickswap to put it in a way
But, tbf, vast majority of chars are, and being off field is often pretty valuable in the game
ah yes a "quick"swap character whose skill feels like it takes 2 years to cast, and needs to be cast twice to make sure he has enough energy for the next burst...
I run Fav XQ on one account, PJC on another, so no double skill
And it's a fairly quick skill too, idk what do you mean by that
Yae on the other hand takes much longer to cast her 3 turrets
yae's turrets actually do something
as opposed to those silly rain swords which effectively do nothing
Damage, and particle generation
the rain swords from xingqiu's skill do neither
only the initial cast does damage and particle generation
Regardless, I'm not here to convince you to use XQ. xD He is one of the best units of the game, but if you don't want to use him, it doesn't matter because it's a single player game
Also they do
no, they don't
Valuable resistance to stagger, constant hydro app and heal when broken/burst is done
if I wanted stagger resistance I'd just use a shield
The swords are the reason why XQ > Yelan as solo hydro for Tao
He makes it so you don't need a shield aka an extra char
But again, ultimately I'm not here to make you use XQ xD
the hydro application is pointless, because the burst does so much more
He is objectively one of the best units, but alas, you're not obligated to use him
It still makes a difference for someone like Tao though
Yelan is Xingqiu but actually designed well
Either way, again, a team for fun has no rules so you can run pretty wacky stuff and get away with it. I've run awful comps for friendship and still suffices so. xD
Also, Yelan and XQ just offer different things. XQ offers defensive options plus more hydro app while Yelan is more offensive and has the damage buff. That's about it.
Also, jiggle physics
Xingqiu's defensive options are literally pointless, though
You choose one over the other according to what you need. For many people XQ's healing can be enough so no need to bring a purely defensive unit, I've ran this myself.
tiny HP% heal when he can't afford to build HP
and minor interrupt resist when you could just be using a shield
Which is enough if you don't need more than that xD
Again, he makes it so you don't need to bring a shield if you can play well enough
If you can play well enough, you don't need Xingqiu either
Often, but not always, bringing a shield unit will mean sacrificing offensive
thus making the defense even more pointless
it literally never means that
Dude, I get it, you don't like him, but it's still a fact that he is one of the top units xD
It does
because Zhongli shield gives massive res shred and the ability to completely ignore enemy attacks and not break your attack chain
20% ain't massive, it's good ofc but it's not massive
And, I said, often, not always
Some teams want a shield, usually specifically ZL (which not everyone has btw)
Mostly melt Ganyu
Cyno will soon have Baizhu which is better
Yoi can run Thoma pretty well as well
There is not a single situation in which you need a defensive feature that's weaker than a shield
Thoma is also better for Tao if you can play well enough for pyro swirl, specially the double swirl rotation with 4p Instructor's on Thoma
There are several though
EC was a very popular example before Kuki was a thing
You can run hyperbloom teams with XQ as the sole defensive unit as well
Harder, but it's higher damage
Double pyro double hydro, aka XL/XQ/Yelan/Tao is also a very popular team, and the only sources of healing are Tao's self healing and XQ
I do think that the strongest core in the game rn is probably XQ/Yelan
But then, again, I'm not here to make you use XQ xD you can just not use him if you don't want to, same with Bennett. They are 2 of the strongest units in the game, and that is a hard fact, but the game won't force you to use them.
I do think it's good to take into account that, while wacky teams for fun can work fine for overworld stuff, most of them you can't expect to clear abyss, at least not easily and without a ton of investment
Specially niche units used outside of their niche
But again, idk what you intend to do with the teams you showed earlier xD as I said, there are no rules for teams for fun so we're all free to run teams without synergy
Do you know how many times I've been stuck without a reasonable way to do damage when using a Hu Tao team after her skill runs out? Xingqiu's damage is an absolute joke without his burst, and Hu Tao can't do damage without her skill (and I don't want to pop her skill again because Shime). Yelan, however, can actually do damage
That sounds like a rotation/ER issue tbh
I run Tao/XQ/Thoma/Sucrose, SR on Tao, with no issues whatsoever
it's not an ER issue. It's an issue with the damage window of the team not matching the task I have to do
no amount of ER will let you regain Xingqiu's burst off 1 or 2 enemies
XQ ain't meant to do damage without his burst (though his skill, as I said, can do pretty hefty damage), just as Tao ain't meant to do damage outside her E
Investment issue then?
Mate, idk if you're trolling at this point but XQ's kit does damage, applies hydro, offers healing and resistance stagger, not just damage
But yeah, you can* do back to back rotations with enough ER
you really have no idea how genshin works, do you? Late spawns, bad enemy grouping, etc
I've literally explained how the stagger resist is literally worthless and the healing is literally a joke
@lucid fulcrum has leveled up to LEVEL 13 
I've been playing since 1.6 and been 36* abyss for quite a while, I do know how it works lmao
but you just handwave it away
Dude, he is not considered one of the best units in the game for no reason at all
abyss isn't genshin
there is game outside of abyss, and xingqiu is trash for that game
I've been using XQ on overworld with no issues whatsoever for a long time, but yeah xD
most genshin players don't even do abyss
It's okay to not like him, it really is, but that doesn't mean he's bad
You just don't like his kit
It's okay
and most enemy spawns don't offer enough energy to regain an 80-cost burst
xingqiu's kit is designed for abyss, and that's not how genshin works
Not sure what you mean by that though
Enough ER and, specially, Sac Sword usually solve his energy issues entirely
99.9% of genshin isn't abyss, and xingqiu is literally unusable for it
Now you said you don't like using Sac Sword on him, which again, it's fine, but the option is there xD
Dude, I've been using him basically everywhere with no issues
No, I have sac sword on him, plus 257% ER, and he still can't just freecast on camps
That sounds very odd, considering camps also drop quite a ton of white particles which refund even more energy
Idk, I've never had the issue of not regaining his burst back, but then again, most mobs camps I don't even get to use bursts because they're dead with just skills, including XQ's skill
the white particles are only like 5 energy per individual enemy
and when xinqiu isn't on field, he gets a third of that
Which are also affected by ER
But still, it's the same reason why Fav weapons are so valued
comes out to like 42 enemies before ER, and about 16 after ER.
White particles do make a difference, but ofc, elemental particles of the matching element will always be better
Idk, again, seems odd considering I can refill his burst easily even against a boss but yeah xD
Again though
Idc if you use XQ
I'm not here to make you use XQ
You can just not use him
you say that, but then you keep pushing him
That won't change the fact that he is a very strong unit and thus used in quite a lot of meta teams
But again
screw off with the xingqiu simping
You don't need to use meta teams
the guy is unusable outside abyss or maybe bosses, and I can't fathom why anyone would want to use him
Mate, I'm not trying to make you use him, if anything I'm just arguing that most of what you're saying about him, namely reasons why he "is garbage", are factually wrong, but you don't need to use him
The game is easy enough to run random teams, at least outside abyss which I assume you don't do (and that's fine)
It's not factually wrong
It's factually correct that the burst costs 80 freaking energy
Like half the other chars though
it's factually correct that you can't regain that from a single group of overworld spawns
it's factually correct that 24% max hp healing on a freaking 21s cd is useless
It's not, you can run plenty of teams with that as the sole healing and do fine
if that's your sole source of healing, you didn't need healing in the first place
It has made a difference for me in the past though
Also forgot to mention he also reduces damage taken, not only stagger resistance
or you could just take 0 damage with a shield
Or do more damage without having to use a shield
or do more damage because of the shield
Not necessarily, I'd argue ZL's buff generally won't outdamage a decently invested XQ but again, idk why you're so set on talking about XQ xD
there's not a single comp with a shield in which xingqiu can replace the shield to do more damage
He's good, if he wasn't he wouldn't be in most of the meta teams, but again, you don't need to use meta teams
Hyperbloom
XQ/Yelan/Nahida/Raiden
hyperbloom doesn't have a shield
Most people will run ZL instead of XQ on that comp
Which is also a good team, XQ will just bring more damage overall plus the very strong core of XQ/Yelan, which allow both to run less ER and focus more on offensive stats, and they just work very well together
and who's onfield for this, Nahida?
if you opt for zhongli shield, she doesn't have to dodge
Xingqiu is nowhere near enough sustain to let Nahida facetank anything
Yep, Nahida
and the dps loss from dodging is more than the damage provided by xingqiu
That's not true though
not to mention the fact that zhongli shield has res shred
As I said, XQ and Yelan battery each other so more damage from both, and Nahida doesn't even need to do much on field, aka her normals aren't doing much damage
which stacks with the res shred from DM
but her NAs are what's causing Yelan to do damage
Do remember that shred loses value as it is halved once it goes under 0%
You don't need to be not interrupted to trigger Yelan and XQ though, as they do have a cooldown for the triggers
So it doesn't really ruin anything
As I said, ZL variation is still a very good team, XQ variation is just higher damage but requires you to play a bit better
Now, another example: XQ/Yelan/Tao/XL
now that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard
It's also a team that can run ZL, but XQ version is significantly higher damage, because apart from all the things XQ brings by himself, you get hydro resonance which is very good for both Yelan and Tao
xiangling eats hu tao's vapes
It's one of the highest DPS teams though
JH would like to have a word with you, he loves that team lmao
why the heck would you not have zhongli instead of xiangling?
You can look it up as funerational if you don't believe me, though I don't like that name*
Because it's higher damage, that's why
or, if you want a pyro, freaking THOMA
it's not higher damage because xiangling eats Hu Tao's vapes
I literally have that team. Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Yelan, Zhongli. Hu Tao needs all of the hydro application
Homa Tao is finally here!! Pulls:
Decided not to go for C1 tho, so y'all have to suffer a bit more looking at my stamina bar XD

There you go
Again though, it works and it works well enough that it's one rather popular meta team
I don't like the name as I don't think it qualifies as a national variation, and I'm personally not particularly a fan of the team (I prefer pyro VV Tao with 4p Instructor's Thoma), but it is a thing, a very powerful thing xD
ZL/XQ/Yelan/Tao is indeed one pretty good team, but you'll just get more damage with XL instead of ZL
It has a pyro aura. Hu Tao's vape just got eaten.
Yeah, it can happen, it also happens with Thoma, but specially on double hydro, hydro aura will come back pretty fast due to the very very high hydro app
Thing is, even if it happens, it's still a very high damage team that has a high place in meta (admittedly lower now that hyperbloom and other dendro based teams are a thing, but it shifted the entirety of meta, and now honestly all Tao teams are slightly less "valuable", not worse but now we have other cheaper ways to get very high damage, via hyperbloom)
Hu Tao is hitting for about 100k on vape crit, and 45k on non-vape crit. that is such an insane damage loss it's not even funny
In the big picture, if you consider the full team damage over a rotation, it isn't that much
The only good thing about that is Xiangling making up for Hu Tao's lack of AoE
This team doesn't focus completely on Tao, the damage is more distributed on the full team vs say double pyro VV, where I'd say around 75%-80% of the damage is on Tao
I just watched this man "JHgamer" panic ult with Kokomi right when Raiden's skill expired, losing out on every last Hyperbloom, and he thinks this is good enough for upload? Bruh, if you're gonna bragpost, at least have the decency to do it right
Not sure what it has to do with the XL/Tao/XQ/Yelan part but chill man, everyone makes mistakes XD mistakes tend to cost the 3* for many people on abyss though
lol
a clear is a clear
Iirc you do tend to do 12 runs only, no?
floor 12 runs?
For the first clear I mean, iirc you do tend to run several teams afterwards but might be misremembering xD
Yeah
yea
consider: a lack of zhongli
Yeah, I'm usually between 12-16 runs for the first clear because I do mess up from time to time, though sometimes I get trolled with random Kazuha deaths I guess lmao
first clear I'm usually using my good teams, so much fewer retries than the rest of the teams that I'm not so used to
and yes, that was the first time I used that hbloom team
My current motivation, ig lmao
Got nahida already
Lupus long time no see
It's me, seenu
She is fun to play
god damn i fucking hate this abyss
I hate.
I like her numbers lmao
I personally liked the wolflord abyss less than this one, but the cryo lawachurls can be annoying
I like how unlike yae miko, she has ultimate superarmour while using E
i hate the forcing of elements
you're basically required to run electro on 1h
because of the invisible cunt
I don't mind that
Ahhhh abyss just changed, forgot
Well, technically you can do it without electro, but yeah xD
Mfers are tanky and powerful
triple kinky is a question of aoe
I do prefer to run electro and dendro, but then again, I've been doing hyperbloom lately anyways
once u get them grouped it becomes ajoke with bloom
Easily best comp
Eas build
Big dmg
Haitham shenanigans
this time I got 15 battles fought
I really don't know what I will do though
one time I had enough time, but wanted to try again
i tied quite a bit on triple kinky
JH long time no see
kenki were nice to ayaka this time
This is actually the most explicit "cyno abyss" they've ever released
Chaos completely obliterates top half it's not even funny
I think Hu Tao first half and Ganyu second half will be good enough.
step 1: get Hu tao
step 2: get Ganyu
you're gonna have issues with ht on the invisible cunt
I've murdered him before with Hu Tao.
Just unga bunga brute force it.
ASIMON has been in 12-3 like two or three times since he came out.
You mean this as a joke right? Feels overly hostile
I assumed he was being sarcastic.
Oh shush. You just don't like him because you were wrong arguing.

nahida, kinda useless in non reactive dendro team
her skill only proc when there's elemental reaction, it give energy and damage
Quick question.
Why would you run dendro without any reactions.
Because dendro is good because of the reactions.
Nahida, Xingqiu, Kuki. You don't even need a fourth. lmao
Wish I had more yaoyao cons
I got C6 yaoyao before c0 alhaitham 💀
yes but no
what
idk why character has more significant figures than standard
maybe cuz people care less about standard
It only changed after i added a few wishes today
IT was 0.1 before so idk why its doing that
probably when it was coded they added one more significant figure? In the end it's the same in terms of percentage
What
Oh it could be cus they made it more specific before if u were top 0.12% then it would've rounded to 2 significant figures but now since there is 3 s.f. it shows those small changes?
What
we're just guessing
not a big fan of triple kinky
my next clear will probably be with nilou
except, yknow, that shes the best dendro battery by a huge margin
and even on those non reactive teams, haitham scales off of EM

but you really should just throw a fischl in there and itll 1.7x your damage or something
can I use dehya like tanker ?
eeh
she only use E and off-field
the issue with dehya defense is that you still usually need a second defense
so you can
but its a struggle
oki thanks
Huh. Turns out that double consecrated beasts are pretty tanky.
Wait for them to put all 5 of them at once in like half a years time
Calm down, Satan.
this is bloom abyss
use it and both explode
Don't have Nilou, so that isn't happening.
Yeah, thats kinda the point, to be silly but work sorta
Just raw 3 element, that deal damage
don't think dendro is designed to scale off raw dmg
simply doesn't have the supports for it
it is mostly about quicken or bloom, yeah
yea obviously
she only generates particles when dendro reactions occur
solar pearl nahida?
r1
half a min clear 
imagine if my cards werent hp% (only useful for yelan) and burst damage (only useful for yelan)

i took healing on the second chamber
yeah, had some decent luck
yelan was c2 as well?
yeah, had some decent luck
c0r1
threw a 50/50 at him and got him so i went for the weapon
this team is quite vertically invested even though i havent "vertically invested into it"
just happens to be a very favorable abyss for cyno
u can frontload yelan's particles by quickly doing double E Q
she still catches all the particle
ye, just not very important here because asimon produces a strangely large amount of energy
just makes things like .5s quicker
for lower investment or a higher damage comp (chaos cyno), you can actually double forward vap yelan's e's
which is absolutely massive
like, both
with nahida's a1 EM
chaos cyno? who is the pyro
thoma
ah right
127k vape 
chaos has higher quicken uptime because the burning shields the quicken/dendro aura from some of the hydro app
it works like fridge if youre familiar
but like, not using a dead cryo slot?
lol
not a problem for c1 yelan 😞
her hydro app is slow enough to preserve the quicken/dendro
a plus in many ways
Lol, I didn't even think of using cyno for this abyss 
doesny the pyro consume some of the dendro to begin the burning aura though
Nahida double hydro hyperbloom just destroys first half
it consumes some, but it shields more
also it enables the occasional overload from cyno and forward vap from yelan
like the burning never exists for more than 1s out of every 3s
why does discord always start vids more crusted than a meme from last millenium 💀
real
so i did like 10 more attempts unable to beat the 30s time, then i just started doing clears in order to actually beat the abyss (im doing second half healerless), and i managed to get a 28s clear while just doing a random clear 
that looks pretty fun
such is the rng of crit
for asimon the rng is actually more about getting it to stay still
when it goes invis to teleport, you have a split second where you can proc quicken in order to down it in-place
and i only get that ~20% of the time
is it nothing to do with those spinner things on the floor
do they just vanish when u stun it
you can break them to stun it aswell, but thats actually because they have innate dendro aura or something?
ill be honest im not certain of all the mechanics
i just know that sometimes, it tries to TP away and instantly downs
and that you down it by proc'ing quicken
whats icd?
icdeeznuts

meh im not able to 36 this abyss at it seems
