@serene python the answer to your FEH question is yes

[serene python]

damn

[humble citrus]

early and mid game is alright

but endgame content is hell

[serene python]

cuz it's...hard??

or??

[humble citrus]

it’s either boring or frustrating

[serene python]

ooh

DFFOO was peak gacha

[humble citrus]

powercreep is a major issue in that game

[serene python]

in FEH?

[humble citrus]

sometimes units get powercrept in 1 month

[humble citrus]

yes

[serene python]

oh

[serene python]

damn, that fast?

[humble citrus]

just compare bst’s from year 1 units to current units and you’ll see

[humble citrus]

not all the time, but somtimes

[serene python]

could've played DFFOO

if it was still alive

[humble citrus]

i switched to dragalia lost and genshin

i dropped genshin and dragalia got canned

so now i play honkai star rail and reverse 1999

[serene python]

is genshin dead?

also, when is ZZZ coming out?

[humble citrus]

No. fontaine is (from what i’ve heard) really good

it still makes a bajillion dollars

guinafen is pretty good

[reef elm]

Welt would be pretty good to have

[humble citrus]

unremovable 21% def down with 3 fire kiss stacks

with her E6 allowing for 4 fire kiss

easy to maintain uptime as well

i may be stupid and didn’t read this

[fiery geyser]

[plain bluff]

I just see a lot of art on twitter

[fiery geyser]

[shrewd plinth]

Ah, damn. Gonna have to wait until Wednesday morning

[reef elm]

I just see a solid block of text weirdly enough

[plain bluff]

I made it that way

[reef elm]

Oh it’s cool you can do that

[plain bluff]

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/210298617-Markdown-Text-101-Chat-Formatting-Bold-Italic-Underline

if you're interested in learning more about it

[plain bluff]

maybe if I get Luocha on my first roll...

[fiery geyser]

[shrewd plinth]

Man, I'm gonna need to pull for Luocha or Aventurine at some point...

As much as I'd like to, I'm not sure how possible it is to do Endgame content with only Natasha and Fire TB as my only sustains

[plain bluff]

you get Lynx for free later on

who's a straight upgrade to Natasha and Bailu

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, true

[reef elm]

I should pull for fu xuan

[knotty latch]

uptied my Cinqclair and Oufi Heathcliff

[shrewd plinth]

Also, random question. I'm about 1/3 of the way to getting my free 5 star from the standard banner and I've been thinking about it.
Should I go for Clara (who I already have the 5 Star Lightcone for), Gepard or Himeko? I already have Bronya and Welt.

[shrewd plinth]

Nice!

[plain bluff]

it really depends on what you need

but you have a long way to go until 300

so you have time to think it over

[plain bluff]

any limited sustain will definitely be better

but Lynx can help a lot

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, I know. But it's good to think about these things early.

[plain bluff]

you eventually want 2 sustains

for end-game content

[knotty latch]

oh

Mirror Dungeon Hard doesn't auto boost your levels

:(

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, I know. My plan is to get Gallagher either from my Acheron pulls or from the 4 star selector, so he'll be a solid addition.

[plain bluff]

ah

nice

[plain bluff]

to actually answer this, Gepard is a solid sustain that's outclassed by limited ones, Clara is a great DPS unit that scales well throughout the game, and Himeko is phenomenal for Pure Fiction (but struggles elsewhere)

[shrewd plinth]

[shrewd plinth]

Unfortunately, nope...You do get account XP for it though!

[fiery geyser]

Welt Yang the goat

[shrewd plinth]

I'm definitely gonna build him a bit more at some point

It's only right, since he's the one I got from the beginner banner

[reef elm]

I want him for the Acheron team

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, that's a good reason as well

I am kinda lacking in Nihility units currently, so I kinda have to use him

[fiery geyser]

thankfully the update is also gonna have a 4 star character selector (not sure if it’s an event or by itself)

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah!

If I get Gallagher in my pulls, I'm probably gonna use it on Pela

Otherwise, Welt & Guin it is!

i have two teams that need pela

[fiery geyser]

[split zenith]

Okay reruns are deffff based on popularity

[plain bluff]

Jing Yuan's wouldn't have been so delayed

then

he's a fan-favorite

[split zenith]

Look at Kafka and blade Dil

9 months

Is crazy

[split zenith]

Yeah but no one wants him

He doesn’t have the nickname Mid yuan for nothing

[plain bluff]

I use him...

[fiery geyser]

[split zenith]

I think he’s a good unit

But like the rest of the community

Will get pitchforks and torches

[plain bluff]

also, he's S-tier on both MoC and PF on Prydwen

so

Mid Yuan is objectively false

[split zenith]

I think he got the nickname because he was powercrept the fastest

[humble citrus]

he used to have problems early in the game's lifespan, but with new units/relics he gets stealth buffed

sustain units with lots of cleanse being released made him much more consistent against crowd control debuffs.

[humble citrus]

I just cleared SU World 5 with an underlevelled Welt and Hanya as my main DPS' purely because I was freakin' immortal

Man, I may have only just found it but, I love the Abundance focus

[fiery geyser]

[reef elm]

Oh yeah I should complete su again

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, it gives a fair amount of jades just by playing and unlocking stuff!

Also, there's gonna be a new world added with the new patch so it's good to clear out as many as you can so you can get to that one

[reef elm]

I got stopped at cocolia once and haven’t tried since lol

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, that's fair

[shrewd plinth]

So, I just did the World 6 Cocolia fight for the first time.
I'd like to repeat my previous statement, that is very fair

||The 1st phase wasn't that bad, but then Bronya came out...||

[reef elm]

||Yeah killing bronya first is good unfortunately bailu can’t quite keep up with cocos damage||

In a few hours Peakacony will arrive

[shrewd plinth]

I'm gonna be asleep when it drops

Only for 2-3 hours after though

[reef elm]

Sad

[fiery geyser]

btw, do you know the trick w/ welt’s ult vs enemies with 2 turns

[shrewd plinth]

No, but I might've accidentally done it a couple times

[fiery geyser]

You can slot in his ult after their first move to stop the second one

[shrewd plinth]

Oh yeah, I've definitely done that by accident a couple times

[fiery geyser]

[shrewd plinth]

Good to know, though!

[fiery geyser]

it’s so useful and makes enemies or bosses like that way less of a hassle

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, I can imagine!

[fiery geyser]

imaginary

do be careful tho, his imprisonment can still be resisted and if that happens, the second move will still go through

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah...

I'm working on building him currently, since he sorta got left behind for a moment. Though that focus will likely shift after my pulls tomorrow

[reef elm]

So close to welt

[plain bluff]

Got Acheron!

[fiery geyser]

[toxic rain]

I got gepard on my luocha banner

[fiery geyser]

[reef elm]

Wait how do we see where how much more pulls is needed to pick the five star?

Oh it’s the bottom right

I’m halfway there

[wicked gazelle]

ach is kinda funny in SU

[fiery geyser]

You can use technique to skip the regular fights, right?

[wicked gazelle]

yeah

[fiery geyser]

[wicked gazelle]

makes it very easy to speed to farming locations

[reef elm]

Does Acheron have bis relic yet?

I do not think this is normal

[fiery geyser]

iirc, her best set is that prisoner one

it’s basically tailor made for her

oops, wrong name

pioneer, not prisoner

[shrewd plinth]

Results of my pulls so far:
No Acheron
E1 Pela
E0 Gallagher
E3 Dan Heng
E5 Qingque (Only got 1 from the banner)
in 60 pulls!

[fiery geyser]

[shrewd plinth]

Did another 10 and got yet another Dan Heng...

[shrewd plinth]

Acquired

And another fuckin' Dan Heng

[reef elm]

You got her yay

Decided to go for the lc

The lc banner is a mystery

But it worked

[shrewd plinth]

Nice!

I'm gonna go for that next since it's a fair bit better than my current options for her

my bad guys I forgot to show

I had 70 pulls I did got hard pity lost the 50/50 to Bronya (I was actually really happy that I lost to her I wanted her) and then get her early

so she came home

was farming for her but might stop because I am tired asf

and yes

for now she is going to be off break effect

hence why I have fermata on her

but we are going to be pulling for her lc

[shrewd plinth]

https://vxtwitter.com/chajiizumaa/status/1772657400610251222

farming was a bit lucky

now she's more built

[fiery geyser]

all of you

congrats

[split zenith]

did you get her?

are you even pulling for her?

oh also

we like bullying Savarog around here

[fiery geyser]

mhm, she’s my first limited 5 star

[fiery geyser]

[reef elm]

Yay

[shrewd plinth]

I just beat the final boss of this part of the story...
All I have to say is, holy fuck I have no idea how I'd defeat it without cheesing it like I did

I'm pretty sure I spent the past 2 or 3 hours on it...

[fiery geyser]

Luofu or penacony?

[shrewd plinth]

Penacony, the story that released today

[fiery geyser]

oh

[humble citrus]

how

damn that was fast

[fiery geyser]

acheron damage and maybe some welt cheese

[shrewd plinth]

My Acheron is built pretty badly as of now sadly

[shrewd plinth]

[reef elm]

Need to level traces

[shrewd plinth]

She's as good as she can be for me though, but I don't have her Ascension Traces yet and won't until next week

[fiery geyser]

[shrewd plinth]

No 60% damage boost for me

[reef elm]

Yeah same only have one built nihility support

[shrewd plinth]

I have Guin and Pela built fortunately, and I plan to level Welt as well

So once I can unlock it, I'm good to go!

it's behind the Ruan Mei sidequest

which you unlock after Jarilo

it is genuinely the worst boss fight in this game

I tried it once

And I thought I had a good jingliu build

The game kinda just laughed at me

[fiery geyser]

that area is actually pretty scary

[reef elm]

Penacony puzzles are something else

The level of perception fuckery is too damn high

Still easy for me though

And my Jingliu hits for like 60K without a buffer so we chillin

My Limbus account is lucky as hell.

Holy hell...

That's some good Outism luck right there!

[humble citrus]

i spent a significant amount of time building up pela and herta just to beat that boss

[shrewd plinth]

I ended up tanking with Fire MC, Natasha and March and just used Ratio to slowly whittle that boss down

[shrewd plinth]

I'm trying to go for Acheron's Lightcone...It's not gone well so far

[reef elm]

Sad

[wicked gazelle]

Should I pull her cone or for e1?

[shrewd plinth]

I think the Lightcone makes for a bigger difference

If you're gonna go for dupes, E2's the one you should aim for due to the amount that it frees up potential for your team comp

[wicked gazelle]

I see ty

[shrewd plinth]

No problem!

[fiery geyser]

Yeah, def LC

you can get 2 stacks on her skill usage instead of 1 so your ult rate goes through the roof

plus the dmg bonuses are big

[fiery geyser]

welt will gladly appreciate it tho

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, for sure!

It'll also allow me to fuse the GNSW cone I have on him currently into the other one I have so I can make it S3

[fiery geyser]

[reef elm]

I need to just spend like an entire day just building Acheron

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah...

It's 100% worth it though

Even though I only have her at level 60 with no ascension traces and with some not-so-great gear, she's still dealing some really good damage!

[reef elm]

I can do 20k on a crit ult

[shrewd plinth]

Hell yeah

[split zenith]

I just went at it with my Jingliu only thing that I would say makes it hard is the red bugs that enrage so I either deal with those or cleanse with Lynx

[split zenith]

rest in pieces

[reef elm]

I wish bailu cleansed

[split zenith]

the only reason why I dont use her

and the RNG healing a bit

[reef elm]

Her burst is pretty so I use her over lynx

Maybe Gallagher will replace tb when I need double sustain

[split zenith]

if you are using Acheron you should def build Gallagher

[fiery geyser]

Lynx rocks

Ayyy, nice!

[reef elm]

Yo nice

It’s a big qol improvement

Almost wish it was a passive

[wicked gazelle]

now i gotta level it up

i feel kinda weak rn cause i have zero nihil built

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, if you're gonna run an Acheron team then you're gonna want to get a couple of those built.
It doesn't really matter until you unlock the ascension trace though, so if you've not done that then you have time

[reef elm]

Yeah I’ve been enjoying stealing peoples black swans

[shrewd plinth]

I'm running Pela/Welt for now and I'm doing some solid damage, and that's without the ascension trace unlocked

[plain bluff]

Pela/Gui are pretty good

for a more F2P-friendly option

and Fire Trailblazer is excellent

(if you have the "Trend of the Universal Market" LC

you can use Acheron's ult almost every turn

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, I know! I did Pela/Guin before I'd built Welt. I'm running him mostly for weakness coverage, since I have Gallagher as my sustain

[plain bluff]

sorry, I wasn't trying to correct you or anything

Welt seems great

[shrewd plinth]

No worries, I didn't think you were

I have created an abomination

But it’s Acheron

I actually got lucky and built her

Pretty normal damage for her but like

It’s wayyyy better when she’s built

But I was still hitting 20k with no relics on so that just shows how busted she is

[shrewd plinth]

2nd times the charm!

[reef elm]

Yay

[shrewd plinth]

To be fair, getting 2 5 star Lightcones in 80 pulls is pretty good I feel

Now to spend the rest of my pulls on the main banner for the off chance of getting Acheron and Gallagher dupes

[fiery geyser]

[reef elm]

Yeah same ima pull on chevron til she’s gone then probably go for fu xuan

[fiery geyser]

I now have E6 Dan Heng solely because of this banner

[split zenith]

yo

I just thanked my friend

bro said "you're going to get Acheron her light cone and luocha"

and I did

I pulled her light cone like 15ish minutes ago and now just got a fucking early on luocha

like 4 or 5 pulls in

I did one single pull

[shrewd plinth]

Holy hell, nice!

[split zenith]

bro

insane

now imma be farming these next few weeks

thank god I don't have a job yet

now we invest

yeah naw her light cone is busted

legit added like 50k more damage

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, it's a super noticable difference

[split zenith]

very noticable haha

the 32% crit damage is insane

[shrewd plinth]

It also causes her Ult to charge twice as fast, since it causes her to apply a debuff on hit which is seperate from the charge she gets from her skill

[split zenith]

thats why I was seeing her ult charge up a bit more

I was like why tf I get two charges off of one skill?

[shrewd plinth]

It's because the skill explicitly states that it just gives 1 charge, which is seperate from the passive

So by applying a debuff with the skill, you get 2!

[split zenith]

also reaction on the Luocha pull

legit it was so early that I fucking skipped the cutscene

I did not expect a five star

had another person in VC with me

we were just chillin on star rail haha

[fiery geyser]

[reef elm]

beeg damage

[split zenith]

shit

im fucking done with this banner

legit have everything on it

Gallagher privilege

Note, this is without any EffRes relics, just with his passive, Lightcone and Ornament Passive

[humble citrus]

I'm assuming this is how he's able to stay lucid while drunk

[shrewd plinth]

Definitely

Now I just need him at E2 so he can not only be immune to debuffs, but also cleanse them off others and make them more resistant

[shrewd plinth]

Interesting, I finished the completion rewards and stopped cos I figured that was all there was. Guess I gotta do some more for the jades

[shrewd plinth]

about time you joined the club

enjoy man

now time to get her light cone

haha

[humble citrus]

i did that too

i’ll post the pic later if you don’t believe me

[wicked gazelle]

you also in sub 20 club for the lc?

[reef elm]

I hear people recommend getting s1 for her lc

[humble citrus]

sub 20 summons? idk

i’ll have to check

[mortal osprey]

managed to get acheron tonight also, we'll see if I can be lucky enough for the LC before banner swaps

[humble citrus]

I am not

[reef elm]

why does pela do so much damage lol

[reef elm]

I thought the ruan mei boss was the hardest

Then I did argentis

[fiery geyser]

💀

[mortal osprey]

Yeah that can be dicey if you don't have good AoE

[shrewd plinth]

I've successfully achieved every one of my goals for this banner! (E2 Acheron, E2 Gallagher, E4 Pela)
Now...I save...

[fiery geyser]

[fiery geyser]

nice!!

[wicked gazelle]

I have gotten 1 gallagher but 7 pela and 7 dan heng

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've gotten close to 10 Dan Heng at this point...

[mortal osprey]

pela is good at least

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, definitely!

[split zenith]

I wish I had gotten more pela and Gallagher

I have gotten like three Gallagher

But when I went to his eidolons

I had none 🥲

I got him more times since then so now I have him E1

[mortal osprey]

I did not expect defeating overworld enemies with acheron technique in SU would still give blessings

this makes su runs so much faster, like holy

[shrewd plinth]

Yup!

You get all the rewards from killing enemies, even the drops they'd give if you kill them in the overworld

So material farming is way faster as well

[mortal osprey]

no wonder this banner broke the seele record

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, she's both a super powerful DPS and a good QoL unit

Plus, she enables a different team comp that uses Nihility Units

[mortal osprey]

yeah for sure

question actually, when using on her ult on say, an elite with nine crimson knot stacks and a couple adds, is it better to only use the last hit on the elite or all 3?

[shrewd plinth]

The first 3 hits are the only ones that benefit from removing Crimson Knot

Since they deal extra damage to all enemies when removed, but the last hit just removes them all with no additional benefit

Rainblade is the first 3 hits, Stygian Resurge is the last big hit

[mortal osprey]

gotcha, thanks. I'd assumed the 3rd hit detonated them somehow.

[shrewd plinth]

To be fair, I had to check to confirm since I wasn't sure myself

So you ain't alone in that

Either way, no problem at all!

[reef elm]

Ohh yes this is great

[plain bluff]

Acheron's last major trace is phenomenal

her ultimate somehow hits even harder than it already did

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah! I'm yet to unlock it since I'm only at TB Level 55, but the damage increase in insane

[wicked gazelle]

I cannot read

[plain bluff]

@wicked gazelle I wish

[wicked gazelle]

I feel you

[plain bluff]

E0S1 is broken enough already

and she only gets better and better with eidolons past 2

[wicked gazelle]

Her 2nd trace is insane

[shrewd plinth]

All of 'em are to be fair

[wicked gazelle]

Like unbuilt and level 50 she's out damaging blade

[plain bluff]

seeing Acheron and Jing Yuan's third traces side by side is an experience

(the latter's only increases his crit rate by 10% for 2t when he uses his skill)

[mortal osprey]

it basically does for her what sparkle's 2nd trace does for quant comps

which is interesting, because it's loaded on the dps rather than the support

[plain bluff]

I think that it's her third trace, but yeah

Acheron's requirement dropping to 1 nihility on E2 is pretty interesting

since it lets her run sparkle or another support in the free slot

though that seems like overkill

[mortal osprey]

kinda, it seems like she benefits more from comps that do a lot of debuffing anyhow

but ig you could just run her in a comp with pela? idk, it seems like slotting her in other nihil comps is just easier

[shrewd plinth]

One thing I figured out earlier is that, at E2, you can run a weird Dual DPS comp with Gallagher, Pela/Guin/SW, Acheron and Dr. Ratio

Since Ratio also scales well with debuffs

[plain bluff]

does Crimson Knot count as a debuff?

[wicked gazelle]

30% sure

[shrewd plinth]

No, but the effect from her Lightcone does

[plain bluff]

outside of Acheron

ah

[wicked gazelle]

Does her 1st trace?

[shrewd plinth]

And while that's only 1 turn, the other units can provide debuffs

[wicked gazelle]

Or is that a buff?

[plain bluff]

fair enough

especially with nihils like sw

who can contribute to Acheron's damage significantly

[shrewd plinth]

The one that gives her 5 ult stacks at the start of battle?

[plain bluff]

that applies Crimson Knot

so it wouldn't be a debuff

for anyone but Acheron

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah

[wicked gazelle]

The 3 stacks she gets over her 9 knots

But I just read it and it doesnt

[mortal osprey]

oh yeah, what is quadrivalent ascendance btw

does it say like, anywhere

[shrewd plinth]

It's basically an overcap on her stacks

[fiery geyser]

Yeah

it’s the purple symbol beneath her HP

[shrewd plinth]

So she can hold 3 extra ult stacks and stock them for the next activation

[fiery geyser]

[mortal osprey]

gotcha

[fiery geyser]

you can inflict 3 debuffs after getting 9 ult stacks and they’ll just load in after you ult

technique start also gives you 1 for free if it doesn’t instant KO

[mortal osprey]

that's convenient for opimising timing without wasting slashed dream gain then

[shrewd plinth]

Yup!

[fiery geyser]

it’s nowhere near the same, but I like that resolution can act like a budget version of her LC lol

[plain bluff]

it's really good on your other nihils

as well

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah. GNSW is better for overall damage though

[fiery geyser]

True

[fiery geyser]

Pela

[plain bluff]

basic attack spam

[fiery geyser]

sounds like it’d be great on Gui as well but I prefer eyes of the prey

[plain bluff]

I like how the e is still gone

[plain bluff]

I use it on my gui, but that's because I run her as a pure support

[fiery geyser]

[plain bluff]

her first trace makes her basic attack already inflict a debuff 80% of the time

so that's more than good enough

assuming your EHR is good

[fiery geyser]

yeah, it’s still really high

nothing hurts more than seeing “effect RES” though

[plain bluff]

Gui's second trace helps

since it decreases enemy effect res by 10% for 2t

[fiery geyser]

and E1

[plain bluff]

when she uses her skill

[fiery geyser]

[plain bluff]

oh, I meant her e1

I think that her second trace action advances

[fiery geyser]

oh yeah

[plain bluff]

one of Pela's traces helps as well

I think that you only need ~45% ehr for most content nvm, I'm not fully sure

[fiery geyser]

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, her 2nd increases all Allies EHR by 10%

[plain bluff]

according to prydwen, you ideally want ~67% for Gui and Pela

including their traces and ehr buffs

[fiery geyser]

grief

[reef elm]

Ikr I hit like 200k with an extremely lucky crit director that trace

[mortal osprey]

A selection of dumb images I like

[fiery geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/qingque-star-rail-always-wins-gif-9696585833514767881

[mortal osprey]

She sure does when I use sparkle ult to allow to her to drain about nine SP for a full house

[humble citrus]

if sampo gets wind shear on all 5 hits of his skill, does that mean acheron gets 5 points towards her ultimate?

[mortal osprey]

She only gets 1 per ally action AFAIK

At least, swan skill defense shred on 3 enemies only gives one

[humble citrus]

damn

would be kinda funny if it were true

sampo > bronya/sparkle > sampo again for instant ults in that scenario

[plain bluff]

you can "bypass" that restriction by using fire mc or another preservation unit with the "Trend of the Universal Market" LC

if enemies happen to attack them and the burn is triggered, Acheron gets a stack

and this extends to every attack on your preservation unit

Fire MC works the best with this strategy since they can taunt enemies (which, in itself, is another debuff)

but any preservation unit works

[humble citrus]

Fire MC being more useful than i thought

[plain bluff]

Fire MC sustain is genuinely great for Acheron

you get to ult almost every turn

if everything goes well

but you also need to kill enemies before they can break through the paper-thin sustain that FMC provides

[humble citrus]

i’m thinking of going with relics that provide health at 50% or lower HP

for better sustain and to keep up taunt active

[plain bluff]

that could help

I personally prefer the full defense set

since it makes the shield slightly better

but it's a matter of preference

[humble citrus]

are they any preservation LC’s that give team wide healing?

[plain bluff]

https://game8.co/games/Honkai-Star-Rail/archives/408463

there's a list here

one example of an LC that heals the team would be Fu Xuan's signature

there are probably more

[fiery geyser]

gambling encouragement

[plain bluff]

you'd probably want to stick to Trend

if you're running fire mc

though

[wicked gazelle]

trend is very good

Yeah, that's fair. I went on a break from Arknights for about 8 months since I wasn't really having fun with it anymore.

And I'm a year 1 player of that game

why is swarm disaster so much harder than gold and gears

I went back to it thinking i'd zoom through and complete some stuff but it's kicking my ass

[shrewd plinth]

payment for vas is really just future gacha in disguise

[shrewd plinth]

Well, I've officially reached the point in HSR where I have almost no side content to do...I'm only TB Level 57 so I'm stuck at a level cap of 70...

So now, we wait

[glad epoch]

how did you managed that

[reef elm]

Oh I have so much content to do lol

Tb level 61 thankfully

[shrewd plinth]

Procrastination + Too much spare time

[glad epoch]

how does procrastination makes you do all the side content

[reef elm]

I basically only do events and main story

[shrewd plinth]

It gives me more spare time :D

[glad epoch]

i still havent done the current main story and half of the character stories

[reef elm]

I should do Acherons and jinglius

[glad epoch]

i need to do all of them to have enough for aventurine

[shrewd plinth]

These are literally the only missions I have left
I do have a couple things to do to finish off events, but I don't feel like doin' those currently since the rewards aren't that great

[reef elm]

How

[shrewd plinth]

As I said, too much spare time

It's kinda a problem...

[glad epoch]

im the opposite
i have very few free time and when i have i procrastinate and dont do anything

[reef elm]

The amount of quests I have in Genshin and star rail I haven’t done is pretty crazy

[glad epoch]

i still havent explored the desert in genshin

thats how much i procrastinate

[foggy cobalt]

guys. why is this game so good

i didnt think stories could be so cool

and i just saw the best trailer for anything ever

sparkles trailer is insane

and acherons is so hype

[reef elm]

Sparkles is so well animated

[foggy cobalt]

ill gladly keep supporting these fucks if it means more quality is gonna be outputted like this

compare this to earlier genshin character trailers

like

night and day

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, they're super good!

[humble citrus]

contrary to what people may say, mihoyo does make good games

they just happen to be gacha a

[glad epoch]

bc gacha is what gives money

waiting for ZZZ to come out later this year

[foggy cobalt]

people only say mihoyo makes bad games because 1. theyre a chinese company and 2. they have a really bad fanbase and reputation with that fanbase

the games r peak tho

[glad epoch]

didnt they moved the main office out of china?

[fiery geyser]

yup, followed by moving to Singapore iirc

[toxic rain]

Yeah or else black swan’s shoulders and back would’ve been covered up 🤣

[glad epoch]

and no belly button
rip shenhe belly

[reef elm]

Didn’t we get it in her new skin

[toxic rain]

Or armpit

[glad epoch]

no idea

[foggy cobalt]

that’s my point

people still claim and use the term chinese in negative connotation with hoyoverse

[glad epoch]

they only see the bad side of genshin community

i dont hear much about the other games

[plain bluff]

how about MoC (or the memory stages you currently have)/PF/SU?

there's a lot of content in those modes

[glad epoch]

lvl 57 would have some hard time beating those contents

[plain bluff]

yep

PF 1/2 and the memory stages

are fairly doable

up to a certain point

SU should be fine (including Swarm Disaster and G&G)

since the higher difficulties are locked

[split zenith]

im TB 66

I spent a bit too much on the game

I should do some side quests though

[reef elm]

$$s?

[split zenith]

eh?

[reef elm]

time or money?

[split zenith]

oh forgot to look back here

I uhhh have alot of time

[reef elm]

i see

[wicked gazelle]

I'm really liking Gallagher with acheron

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, it's a really nice combo!

[humble citrus]

Is his healing good?

[wicked gazelle]

Seems ok

[humble citrus]

i know it's at a flat rate but im not sure how it is in practice

[wicked gazelle]

Any multihit/aoe is a full heal

[reef elm]

I should build him

[wicked gazelle]

He's very fun

I wanna get him to 80 asap for final trace

[shrewd plinth]

The healing on his skill is a flat number, but he has a trace that causes all his healing to scale with Break Effect

So it turns out to be pretty good and, at E2, you basically have a single-target full heal with a clense and 30% EFR buff

Assuming you build him well
