lol

#

i have an asia alt, thought about entering there but decided not to XD

lucid sable
#

Shoulda entered with my AR like 5 eu account

#

But I dunno if AR 5 can even TCG-

brisk bloom
#

you need like AR 20 something to get to TCG

faint flare
#

you need like ar 34 or something to tcg

brisk bloom
#

OH ITS THAT HIGH?

faint flare
#

i think so

bold widget
#

Number 2 on EU is 20-0 though, nothing to scoff at

faint flare
brisk bloom
#

oh that is horrible

faint flare
#

also ayaya and yoi are locked behind raiden story quest

#

aka ar 40

twilit steppe

faint flare
#

and my alt is seriously behind on all the quests

bold widget
#

Maybe it was to prevent alts from getting too good, since ayamiya was the previous meta

faint flare
#

nah its bc they didnt wanna spoil the ayaya wet socks scene /j

brisk bloom
lucid sable
#

no

faint flare
#

collei isnt locked behind any quest

lucid sable
#

naur not gonna get my little bitty alt that high

faint flare
#

and we meet collei in the main story line after ayaya/yoi

bold widget
brisk bloom
#

she's probably an exception since you get her for free

bold widget
#

Collei is willing to become your friend as soon as you mention amber

faint flare
#

how about cyno then

brisk bloom
#

he's a TCG addict he doesn't care who the hell he's playing with

faint flare
#

though he is locked

#

but behind player lvl

brisk bloom
#

he's locked behind player lvl because that's the only thing he cares about

#

not racist

bold widget
#

He only wants to play against good people

faint flare
#

a lot of char dont appear in the main story now that i think about it

twilit steppe
faint flare
#

especially mond ones

#

mona, fish, sucrose, etc

bold widget
#

Razor

brisk bloom
#

Razor was there wasn't he?

#

during the quest where you unlock the wolf boss

bold widget
#

That was his story quest

brisk bloom
#

oh my mistake

faint flare
#

razor's quest is a mandatory quest i think

#

to unlock the next archon quests

bold widget
#

Also even if you haven't invited a character, can't any of them show up as one of your 4 weekly duels? So maybe you just met them playing tcg lmao

brisk bloom
#

now that you mention it, what the hell is Ningguang doing traveling to Mond just to play GITCG in a tavern?

bold widget
#

"Sorry I haven't saved your country yet but I will later. ggwp"

brisk bloom
#

isn't she like busy with yknow being the Qixing

twilit steppe
brisk bloom
#

ok but like on her own?

#

and isn't Ganyu like very busy with work? Mond is pretty far from Liyue

bold widget
#

There's always time for a game of tcg haha

brisk bloom
#

just by being here instead of Sumeru, Cyno is also neglecting his duty as mahamatra

#

like you should go over there to play with him

#

Traveler should have some more consideration for people's responsibilities

#

Xiangling duels her dad sometimes, that's pretty wholesome

brisk bloom

ok so when Xiangling duels her dad, that's nice, but when my father duels my mother it's "domestic abuse"?

Game feels weird today... can't leave coop

neat parrot
#

If 2 people have the same score, is the higher rank the person with the higher or lower EXP?

wary heron
#

higher exp

neat parrot
#

Shouldn't it be the opposite?

wary heron
#

ye, idk

#

im at 23 exp 61 points so im lower than the 61 points at like 35 exp or something

strange peak
#

More matches = more active = more contribution to the tournment I guess

neat parrot
#

but less EXP means higher winrate.

wary heron
#

yeah

#

and higher winrate means your better at the game not just grinding for the sake of grinding

twilit steppe
#

IMHO next time they could consider win rate into equation for ranking.. Honestly seeing myself with atrocious win rate at second is kind of ridiculous in a way haha😭

wary heron
#

i dont have much time to play daily so i try to maximize winrate

neat parrot
wary heron
#

paimon just pinged me

#

no queue AGAIN

#

im giving up

wary heron
neat parrot
#

positive ratio to incentivize participation, but more balanced for positive winrate

I'm unironically 69 nice :^)

well leaderboard rank doesnt really matter anyway right? as long as you're in there you qualify for knockouts anyway

im on like 90% winrate

i thought u had no dice or sth

I had 5 cryo dice XD

It was a good match

See how many times you got frozen?

#

Like... 0

fast veldt
#

wait were u trynna freeze me kek

#

i thought u wanted to trigger EC or superconduct kek

strange peak
#

Nope... because it was a piercing deck all along mwahahahaha

#

Ganyu was the decoy

#

I refuse to freeze at the prelims

#

Knockouts are going to be a different story

#

Maybe half of the people will be using freeze

lethal spruce
#

Knockouts are gonna be scary...

fast veldt
#

i would rather peep use freeze SignoraCope

#

my og swirl deck kinda pepega

strange peak
#

Swirl is badass

#

But I still can't figure out a decent deck... plus, ping pong deck with Jean and Sucrose I would feel the need to include Maguu

strange peak
edgy orbit
brisk bloom
#

hey I also run Klee >.>

edgy orbit
#

the pretty boys and their younger sister

brisk bloom
#

god I want Albedo to come out so badly and I want him to be decent with Klee I want to get the siblings

edgy orbit
#

thatd be so cute

#

for now .. just settle for kaeya and klee .. i suppose

brisk bloom
#

also the art for Caxl's Arts or whatever that one's called has Mona, Klee, and Albedo and I wanna recreate it

edgy orbit
#

🙄

brisk bloom
#

like they'd be such good adventure buddies

#

and Mona is more of a tired babysitter

edgy orbit
#

yk they would

brisk bloom
#

like I know it's stupid but I just don't want to run a deck when I feel the characters would just not get along

#

I'd kinda feel bad for them

edgy orbit
#

thats fair. yea.

strange peak
brisk bloom
#

imagine double geo Klee and it's like they're her bodyguards that sounds adorable I would love to try making her a hypercarry and just spam the crystallize shields hoping she doesn't die

strange peak
#

I love imagining how character cards would be

brisk bloom
#

just one hit is a bit eh, not sure about the balance though

#

could maybe just get rid of the normal attack damage boost and keep the geo hit

strange peak
#

well... 3 dice for 3 dmg is fair, plus auto reaction in case their normal attack is elemental

brisk bloom
#

would love for them to actually incorporate his EM buff on the burst though, though it would definitely be buffed by the flower like Ningguang's is

strange peak
#

that would turn into a 4 dmg + reaction effect

#

I just thought it out of your love to pair up with Klee

brisk bloom
#

I would love experimenting with that so much

#

I really do hope they go along that route

#

god there's so many characters they can do so many fun things with

#

I am so excited for more card releases

#

like rn Kokomi feels like she's going to actually make Kaeya stall pretty good and I'm all for that

#

I'm really excited to see what they'll do with Nahida because I honestly do not have the faintest idea how they would incorporate her skill and burst

strange peak
#

archons as characters would be pretty awesome

brisk bloom
#

like maybe a 3 cost version for the tap effect and 5 cost for the hold, with tap being single target and hold connecting them all?

#

guess it could be like Sidewinder and do like 1 dendro damage on reaction trigger

#

maybe at base it could be like once per round and do one damage, but the her burst buffs each of those depending on your team?

#

just a lot of ways to take that

strange peak
#

Nahida E: Deal 1 dendro dmg and mark the target. Until the end of the round, any reaction to that target will deal an additional +1 dendro dmg / Ult: all reactions will deal +1 dmg until the end of the round

brisk bloom
#

Any reaction to the target feels really strong, should probably put some kinda cap on that

strange peak
#

or maybe +2 dmg is too op

#

probably +1

brisk bloom
#

yeah that seems more fair

#

I'd love for her ult to interact with her skill like in-game though, so far like every card they've added just feels really accurate to the game and I love that

#

it's like an exact 1 to 1

#

it's really impressive

#

the designers for this are just great

strange peak
#

how would CC work? like Zhongs Petrification and Venti's Grand Ode?

#

I would really like if they could change freeze to last only 1 turn... not the entire round

brisk bloom
#

I pray not like freeze, but probably something along the lines of just a version of it that ends when you swap out ;-;

#

I'm guessing Venti E would be the same as Jean/Sucrose

strange peak
#

randomly rearranges the oppnent's team XD

#

like, change all their order and their active char at random

#

cause order matters

brisk bloom
#

that sounds chaotic and I love him

#

he would

#

imagine if they gave Zhongli's pillars like the geo construct syngergy

#

like with Albedo and Itto

#

that would be so cool, like an end of turn do 1 geo damage for each one

strange peak
brisk bloom
#

I am terrified of how they'll do his shield

#

because it's totally going to be a start of round gain 2 shield or something like that and I am not ready for that

strange peak
#

5 dice would probably be equivalent to Ganyu's Frostflake dmg ratio... so maybe 3 geo dmg + 3 shield along with the pillar?

#

maybe less dmg

brisk bloom
#

like 2 geo damage and 3 shield on cast with the pillar having something like "End of turn: Do 1 geo damage / Start of turn: Grant active character 3 shield" and last two turns?

strange peak
brisk bloom
#

wait that would actually be so cool

#

and then they add C1 as his talent card so you make him a main DPS >:)

strange peak
#

hmm... E: +2 anemo dmg and +1 to normal attacks / Ult: 4 anemo dmg and rearranges opponent's team order and active char at random

Sounds nice

#

chaotic

#

I'd hate him

brisk bloom
#

chaotic, but it sounds fun

strange peak
#

cause all my decks were planned in case I got swooshed by Jean or overload

brisk bloom
#

would mess up so many combo decks, actually meta defining that's hilarious

#

now I really want them to do that

strange peak
#

now I'm too afraid they'd do that Monaha

brisk bloom
#

they're probably not gonna bring the archons for a while

#

but when they do, hope it's all of them at once

#

or at least two at a time

#

Raiden would be so chaotic

#

like her skill would be the "after any attack do 1 electro damage once per round" and would buff burst damage

#

then she has a counter for each burst allies have cast that empowers hers

strange peak
#

+2 dmg per burst cast

brisk bloom
#

like just having one of those follow up attacks on a skill is kinda nutty

#

would probably last 2 rounds too

strange peak
#

also get electro infusion

#

hmm

#

kinky

brisk bloom
#

I hope that she works with Razor so his talent card gets like a meta use

strange peak
#

I'm having a hard time using electro characters other than Fischl

#

Beidou is kinda clunky

#

Keq is too hard to setup

brisk bloom
#

like Keqing has her very niche uses, Beidou is just weird, and Razor feels mediocre

#

it's a real shame because he does have potential, but his burst costing 3 ends up making him feel like a worse Cyno

strange peak
#

Cyno is a late bloomer... but I like him

brisk bloom
#

it does have its own uses, like if you use Chongyun field and Razor burst you can superconduct on every hit, which isn't bad

#

but it's just too much setup because you need that 3 cost burst

strange peak
#

but costy ults are troublesome

brisk bloom
#

Cyno is a lot more versatile, feels like you can tack him onto some decks as a separate win condition later into the game

strange peak
#

plus, you won't have enough dice to hit many times after that

brisk bloom
#

yeah exactly, just not much you can do with Razor sadly

#

and it's such a shame because if it just cost 2 energy and it did like 1 electro damage on follow-up instead of 2 I feel like it would be a lot better but still balanced

strange peak
#

I still like to have the electro res, but sometimes it just feels too useless

brisk bloom
#

I use him on Kaeya-Keqing-Cyno as like a later DPS for when Keqing dies

brisk bloom
#

really depends on when you get it

#

if it comes early it's great, later, not so much most of the time

#

like it's a pretty good card to hold in hand for when you have like 2 energy on Keqing or Fischl but if you get it after you've burst with your main characters it's a big do-nothing

strange peak
#

maybe could work better with Yoi's Ult overload... but somehow I'm not much of a fan of overloading

#

means free swap for the opponent

#

overload could've been a randon swap

brisk bloom
#

overload is one of those reactions where there's a lot of counterplay but it's still pretty effective since in a lot of cases you force the opponent to pay a dice and spend a turn to swap characters so that your overload will swap them to the one they need

strange peak
#

great... now I want to try a Yoi/Fischl/Cyno deck

brisk bloom
#

I feel like it would be worse if the direction was random because then you, the one using it, wouldn't be able to plan around it

strange peak
#

but it's also too predictable for the opponent as well.

#

that's how I ordered my characters in all my decks

brisk bloom
strange peak
#

like... cool Ayaka applied cryo... oh I got swooshed into Bennet... PYRO RES MELT 1TK

brisk bloom
#

yeah but in a lot of decks it can also disrupt really well

#

like the same way Jean/Sucrose do

strange peak
#

THAT PING PONG DECK... OMG

#

I still haven't had a win against it

brisk bloom
#

they have the added benefit of swirling constantly and depending on the character doing the swirling they choose the direction it goes, but overload having half of that utility as a reaction is really good

brisk bloom
#

definitely one of the most annoying matchups in the game

#

that and freeze make me so incredibly thankful for the existence of Leave It To Me

#

can't make a deck anymore without running two of them just in case

strange peak
#

ShenHe's card is also great

brisk bloom
#

yeah it's good for comboing, but can't really get out of freeze with that one

strange peak
#

maybe they'll come with another card that switches to the previous character

#

I like some switching around without risking my attacker

#

have you seen the next heated mode?

#

-2 cost for 1st card played

#

then -1 for the other rounds

brisk bloom
brisk bloom
strange peak
#

but only works for him, and now that he's been nerfed to the ground, I kinda dislike using his talent card now

brisk bloom
#

what even was the use for his talent? It always felt clunky to me

strange peak
#

used to be great after summoning the cryo shadow after dealing the dmg, then auto switching to Jean/Sucrose afterwards

brisk bloom
#

that sounds like a nightmare I hate it

#

that ping pong deck is just so annoying ;-;

strange peak
#

Geo stall used to be on the top of my hate list, but Ping Pong is worse

brisk bloom
#

I just really hate having my gameplan crushed to bits in front of my eyes as my characters get bounced around

strange peak
#

I definitly need to plan for a counter deck for those

#

also how to deal with Duck's chicken decks

brisk bloom
#

like I can make it out eventually since Mona can quickswap, but if I don't get bounced to Mona I just keep getting moved along ;-;

#

for some reason seeing chicken decks being meta makes me really happy

twilit steppe
strange peak
#

we need moar dendro characters

brisk bloom
#

because like when it came out, everyone kept talking about how horrible it was so like it becoming meta is really cool to me

brisk bloom
strange peak
#

it's nice, but I wish they could increase the cap number for dendro reaction thingies

twilit steppe
brisk bloom
#

like until Nilou comes out the only viable way to build it is gonna be with electro and I really wish there was some more variety in that department

strange peak
#

oh wow... imagine Nilou card

brisk bloom
brisk bloom
# strange peak oh wow... imagine Nilou card

I really want her to have unique blooms but I'm not sure if modifying elemental reactions to that state is something they could get away with because that's just a game mechanic, really hope they do though

strange peak
#

the bloom dmg already deals 2 dmg but needs electro/pyro to trigger... with the passive, it would deal whooping +3 dmg...

#

maybe too much?

#

or just triggers immediatly

#

+2 insta dmg is still good, without the need of pyro or electro

brisk bloom
#

maybe could work kinda like Klee's burst instead that it just blows up after some time and does dendro damage?

#

because the whole point of the bountiful bloom is that you want it to blow up naturally right?

#

idk I don't have Nilou

strange peak
brisk bloom
#

god there's so many fun mechanics they can do

strange peak
#

limiting decks to only Nilou + Hydro/Dendro could be fun

brisk bloom
#

yeah reading her passive rn and bountiful cores only happen with dendro/hydro on the team

#

so she wouldn't be able to do that without them

#

really only other thing that has potential for dendro resonance besides aggravate

#

because burning just isn't too great, applies pyro constantly, but not exactly something you can make much of a deck out of

strange peak
#

sometimes people forget that cleansing dendro with auto hydro gives the opponent a dendro core

brisk bloom
#

and rn putting in a hydro with dendro res would kinda yknow, be useless

strange peak
#

so somehow, dendro would be a counter against XingQiu

brisk bloom
#

that is a mistake you only make once

strange peak
#

yeah... Chicken + Pyro res decks are nasty

#

I should build one kek

brisk bloom
#

it's really awesome how simple the game mechanics are and still leave so much room for deckbuilding potential

strange peak
#

GAWD we need like +5 slots

brisk bloom
#

OH PLEASE

#

IVE HAD TO DELETE SO MANY DECKS

strange peak
#

I'm at my limit, only leaving the last one empty in case some of these ideas come up

#

the day we get like 3 new characters per patch, we will need a bigger deck box

brisk bloom
#

I'd love to leave my last one empty but Im always having terrible ideas for decks and trying them

#

like I cannot stick to a single deck when playing casually for more than three matches before I have another terrible idea

brisk bloom
#

we have confirmation of Eula/Kokomi/Sara coming next patch right?

strange peak
#

yes... Kokomi good, Sara weird, Eula wut

brisk bloom
#

god I am so excited for Kokomi

#

constant hydro application is already incredible but it even comes with healing?

#

insane

strange peak
#

tag XiangLing's Ult together

brisk bloom
#

really interested in seeing what kind of things you can do with her burst

#

like yeah Xiangling

#

could work pretty well in a Pokemon deck, just slot out Oceanid for her

strange peak
#

also, she is so underrated... she is like a Pyro XingQiu... sure, her Ult is a little bit costy, but works with every skill

#

but guess freeze decks are all the rage now

#

and Guoba is killer

brisk bloom
#

she has a lot of potential, but I just don't feel like she's the best in the current meta

#

and without her talent card, Guoba feels really underwhelming

strange peak
#

I'll make her shine someday

#

gonna make a theme deck with her and Mao

brisk bloom
#

hopefully with Kokomi burst

brisk bloom
strange peak
#

and call it Hell's Kitchen

brisk bloom
#

that joke is atrocious, I love it

#

make it, be the change you want to see in the world

strange peak
#

and that I shall

#

Also I need to go to bed... 3 am here W_LOLTaoA

brisk bloom
#

goodness, go to sleep

#

get like at least a good seven hours

strange peak
#

good night good sir, one more prelim to go tomorrow

brisk bloom
#

I'd hardly say there's one more at this point

strange peak
#

and see if my suffering ends

brisk bloom
#

in whatever like two matches you find that time, I hope for the best

#

rest well

Should I risk it?

should i try for 1-2 more wins to get from 10th to 6th?

Does higher placing matter? Like, would they set the knockouts as 1st faces 16th, then 2nd takes on 15th and so on?

I don't think so...

It'll probably be randomized

<@&1056929664649670656> hi everyone (asia & europe server as well!)! congratulations on getting this far!

as you play your matches, please feel free to share anything you would like with me about your experiences so far. what decks have you seen the most in the prelims? have you been having fun? what decks are you using in your matches now? were there any highlights of your experience up until now, or even video clips you've taken or memes/inside jokes you've made?

also, if you would be interested in participating in any kind of interview on VC, please react to my comment here! although there are no guarantees someone will be invited for one, i am on the lookout just in case 👀

(note - this isn't a call for formal feedback and there will be a place for that later, i'm just doing some light research into our current KO players sussynahida)

less matches were played later because once you secured top 8, there was basically no way you fell out of top 16 if you just didn't do anything for 2 days

attack point? you mean energy?
