I'm not 100% sure on the numbers, but I know they're somewhere around there

the difference comes in the form of weapon banners, character banners are the same

Bennett on another character banner…

💀

[rocky palm]

I didn't realize this before

But even if JQ's ult runs out and no enemies have stacks of ashen roast anymore, they'll still get saddled with all 5 when he ults as long as there were 5 on some enemy prior

[reef elm]

yo blade in this event kinda fire

[fiery geyser]

[fiery geyser]

so each ult can be worth 6 stacks (technically)?

or not really

[rocky palm]

they can be but that's nothing new

he has a 3 turn ult, but enemies frequently aren't fast enough to use up all 6 stacks unless it's PF

it's moreso interesting to me that even when ashen roast is completely gone, his ult will put all 5 back on enemies

as long as at some point before that, an enemy had 5 on them

[reef elm]

I can't wait to get all the stuff from exploration so I can give it all to Xilonen

[fiery geyser]

the mobile reward stuff is also being deployed rn

free 1000 primos

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah!

I only have like, 8 pulls and 30 pity currently, but with all the anniversary rewards plus the stuff from exploration and events, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to guarantee at least one copy of her!

[fiery geyser]

shop reset is also in the upcoming days

I think 6 (?)

[shrewd plinth]

Sounds about right

It's between 4 and 6

And since Xilonen is in 5.1, there's gonna be two shop resets between now and then

[fiery geyser]

||what was the last version you saw ||

[wicked gazelle]

||1.0?||

[fiery geyser]

||v1? she’s changed a fair bit since v5||

||unfortunately she got some nerfs — reduced speed and one of her speed traces got replaced with def
— looks like ult is capped at 6 stacks, versus before where 6 was the minimum but it would just continue after that||

||on the upside tho, her stack generation at e0 is a lot better compared to v1
they made it to where her skill will always lead into her FuA afterwards||

[reef elm]

Seems that might just be a thing with galaxy rangers going forward

[jaunty badger]

why does it say penacony

is it going back

already?

[shrewd plinth]

Likely because she was summoned by Boothill's Galaxy Ranger signal on Penacony

Not sure if this means we're going back story-wise though

Either way, she looks cool! I'm interested to see what she's like

[rocky palm]

i imagine we might be going back similarly to how we've gone back to the Xianzhou

We're still in epilogue town until 3.0 drops

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, for sure

There's speculation that we'll be going back to Jarilo based on what ||Sparkle says to Sampo at the end of her story quest||, but I can see us going back to Penacony for a quick check up

what do you guys use to learn which characters are gonna be released next

[mortal osprey]

reddit

[humble citrus]

it could happen, maybe if ||they die and have a funeral service in the main quest first||

[muted tundra]

are the reveals official?

[humble citrus]

wdym by official

[mortal osprey]

if you don't look at leak subreddits, yeah

[humble citrus]

we usually know the characters bc the next patch has beta testing which is where the leaks come from

and sometimes earlier than that depending on who’s leaking

[shrewd plinth]

The devs usually make posts on all their official social media platforms revealing characters a patch early, which is known as 'drip marketing'

For ZZZ they look something like this:
https://vxtwitter.com/ZZZ_EN/status/1822845597537436105

At least that's how to can learn which characters are coming out without looking at unofficial leaks

It's because of these posts that we know that Ceasar King and Burnice are the characters coming in version 1.2 for ZZZ

If you want to know stuff about a character's kit however, you either need to wait until around a week before the character releases or look at unofficial leaks from beta testers

[reef elm]

Just a few more hours

[shrewd plinth]

[fiery geyser]

for natlan? I thought it was tomorrow

[reef elm]

Oh I didn’t think to check but aren’t they always out on Tuesdays

[shrewd plinth]

It goes up at reset

So it's tomorrow, but also still less than 24 hours

[reef elm]

Pwetty

[shrewd plinth]

Really cool, honestly!

While I don't think the first couple chapters of the Archon quest hold up to the first couple Chapters of Fontaine, they're definitely getting into the meat of it quicker so I'm really looking forward to where it goes

Plus, the exploration is actually really neat!

[reef elm]

im stuck

[toxic rain]

Sick

[reef elm]

I got that achievement though

[rocky palm]

Don't think I ever posted this piece anywhere

Remembered that I had it chilling on Herta tonight

[wicked gazelle]

seri tells me i need more speed and less crit damage

[lilac spire]

seri sounds wrong

[shrewd plinth]

If this is for Hyperspeed Sparkle, then yeah. Ideally you'd be aiming for 160 speed and ~200 Crit Damage

The Speed ultimately takes priority, since it's more of a DPS increase to give your main DPS more turns rather than a small Crit Damage Buff

[rocky palm]

He's right

I talked with Demon about this a while back, but a big change in cd causes a very minor difference in what Sparkle actually gives you

[shrewd plinth]

[plain bluff]

:(

[plain bluff]

[rocky palm]

Her calc is 24% + 45 flat

so going from 230 to 200 results in a change of around 7% for your dps

which is basically nothing

[lilac spire]

who needs speed when you are the isekai truck

[rocky palm]

200 to 170 is another 7% change, and now you've lost 14% cd and can do so much more with speed

[rocky palm]

many characters, acheron included, have more valuable turns than others

e0s1 acheron can give herself 2 stacks, where other characters can usually only give her 1

so action advance is far more important for acheron than just high cd

also also

Clara my goat fr fr

Though Herta is generally the carry in these I won't lie

[wicked gazelle]

||i know more speed is better, but im not getting any good speed substats||

[wicked gazelle]

more number more bigger

[rocky palm]

shrimply get lucky

oh actually I should ask

@wicked gazelle are you going rainbow set on her

[wicked gazelle]

2pc speed set and rainbow the rest

[reef elm]

I got lucky in a Genshin artifact today as well

[rocky palm]

ong go rainbow planars as well if it gets you more speed

forget 2pc speed too if you have > 6 speed on the relics you replace them with

Normally I have a rope (shocking I know) with a high speed substat. It's not vonwacq

one of the other relics here is also wrong cause she's normally at 160 speed

[plain bluff]

just do the best you can

it's very hard to get perfect relics

[wicked gazelle]

178 speed in combat btw

i really want to get feixiao and have 200+ spd in combat

[rocky palm]

not possible lol

oh you might not have seen

her speed got nerfed

quite heavily

[wicked gazelle]

huh

no

what why

[rocky palm]

she went from 125 to 107 iirc

including her speed traces

[wicked gazelle]

this is stupid

[rocky palm]

i think most of her changes have been quite questionable tbh

[wicked gazelle]

i wanted to jade + bronya

ok ok

107+25 speed + jade skill + e2 bronya is around 210

[rocky palm]

also correction

||she went from 125 to 112, but also lost her speed traces||

so still lost ~18 speed

[wicked gazelle]

200+ is still doable

[rocky palm]

yeah

[wicked gazelle]

but no attack boots

[rocky palm]

unfortunately for your plans...

||Robin is her best harmony by a fucking mile||

[wicked gazelle]

does the game hate me

oh ok

i thought you were gonna say

[rocky palm]

||It's like a 40% difference between Robin and the next best||

[wicked gazelle]

the game caps at 170 speed for pcs

[rocky palm]

nah

200 speed firefly is very possible

i think there's some insane run with 250 speed FF out there somewhere

but adding on

||It seems like she's a Ratio upgrade, and wants to be in the same team as him ideally||

I've been farming for about a month and have pulled a single lightning in that time

[rocky palm]

i shit you not, the last 8 izumos i've pulled have had nothing but flat stats and hp%/def% substats

genuinely not one of them usable for anything

[wicked gazelle]

I just spent 480 en for an atk rope and have gotten none

[wicked gazelle]

Me to. Or if they have any crit it's hp or def main

[rocky palm]

i have to assume they've coded this one to drop fewer atk ropes

cause i've had the same issue

i've pulled two attack ropes from it naturally, both garbage

This is the best I could get

[fiery geyser]

tankcheron 🗣️

I’m sorry

[reef elm]

Yay I can get my friend into this game

Robin got a rerun before Acheron

[shrewd plinth]

And Topaz got her 2nd rerun before Dr. Ratio got his 1st

The fact that they're putting 3 reruns the 1st half is pretty big though, and will help a lot for sure

[reef elm]

Yeah

Welp longer to save for Acheron I guess

[jaunty badger]

is feixaoi gonna be good?

[plain bluff]

||about as good as Ratio||

[jaunty badger]

better or just the same

[plain bluff]

about as viable

maybe slightly better

but not a big difference

[jaunty badger]

im not sure if i want to pull her

i wanna keep my fua team that i have and replace my break team

so ill wait until someone else

[reef elm]

What your fua team

[jaunty badger]

topaz, robin, aventurine, ratio

[reef elm]

Ah yeah it probably wouldn’t improve much with her

[jaunty badger]

yeah so waste of jades a bit

they're bringing back topaz already

but i was hoping for aventurine

oh feixiao is dropping with robin, kafka, and black swan

[reef elm]

I can’t wait to craft a crit rate mainstat with the Genshin thingy

[rocky palm]

The leaks were right...

I won't lie, I was becoming very skeptical lol

[reef elm]

Black swan rerun is cool

[fiery geyser]

spoiler tag

[rocky palm]

but it's been officially announced

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

[jaunty badger]

who are you all rolling for

[fiery geyser]

wait oops

[humble citrus]

kafka, then feixiao

I also want linghsa but i'll get her on the rerun

[lilac spire]

i still have no idea what a cat cake is

can i eat it

[fiery geyser]

Yes (?)

[jaunty badger]

its alive so yeah

i think at most ill roll for robin

maybe lingsha will be the secret best character though

[plain bluff]

Feixiao and Topaz LC

if I have extra funds

Feixiao LC

[shrewd plinth]

Lingsha, all the way

I watched the stream earlier, and the animations only convinced me more

[jaunty badger]

the lightcone looks good but i have no characters to really use it for

[plain bluff]

yeah

[plain bluff]

it's good on Feixiao

so that's who I'll use it on

if I go for it

[jaunty badger]

do you think shell be good

[shrewd plinth]

I'm not sure on her exact numbers, but she looks solid

[plain bluff]

leaks: ||not really||

||she has a niche, but Gallagher is good enough for most things||

||especially considering the cost of getting Lingsha vs Gallagher||

[jaunty badger]

I really wish i had ruan mei

i didn't have enough jades at the time though so now Im stuck with 60 rolls but no characters to roll for

also robin again is weird

and topaz

didn't they just release

[shrewd plinth]

Robin released in 2.2 along with Topaz' first rerun

Which makes Dr. Ratio the only character released in 1.X to not have a rerun yet

[rocky palm]

||Gallagher is also better than her in a number of ways||

||iirc Lingsha doesn't provide any bonus break damage?||

||Also Gallagher way more sp friendly than Lingsha||

[rocky palm]

Very tempted to go for Robin e1

I think I'm over the "pull for every dps" hype

Alternatively I save for one of the upcoming characters who I'm super stoked for

[jaunty badger]

acheron 2

[rocky palm]

perhaps...

Though people thought that was going to be Feixiao tbh

[plain bluff]

E1S1 is so good for her

[rocky palm]

e1 looks broken af lol

[plain bluff]

😔

[rocky palm]

but ideally i want e2

cause the extra energy gen would be so good

[jaunty badger]

if she wasn't single target she would be great

[rocky palm]

this

literally this

[jaunty badger]

they had to do that

[plain bluff]

st characters aren't the worst rn

they're much better than they used to be

[jaunty badger]

or else acheron wouldn't be as wanted anymore

[plain bluff]

it's not purely detrimental

[jaunty badger]

and then people wouldn't spend as much on her rerun

[plain bluff]

as seen with Boothill and Ratio

[rocky palm]

single target sucks in this game (compared to all other damage types) unless you do as much damage as boothill and can oneshot every character you target

Ratio/Feixiao still work cause they aren't hypercarry

[jaunty badger]

i dont' think i would use ratio outside of the fua team

[rocky palm]

But I don't think there will ever be a single target dps that's top of the line except Boothill

Cause his kit is fundamentally broken

There are technically hypercarry Ratio teams

I don't recall their comp off the top of my head rn

Feixiao seems very hard to make work with hypercarry though

Has her kit been revealed yet?

[shrewd plinth]

She had her overview on the Stream, but no exact numbers are officially known yet

So we know what she does, but not how well she does it

[jaunty badger]

maybe the numbers were buffed from the leaks

[rocky palm]

it's possible

are all her mechanics known at least though?

cause that's what i'm about to talk about and don't want to spoil anything

[shrewd plinth]

You can check through the part of the stream where they go over her kit to be sure, but I'm pretty sure yeah

[rocky palm]

okay cool

so basically she gets .5 stacks every time an ally attacks

including fua's

for this reason it's a lot harder to make her a hypercarry instead of ratio imo, since she's (assumedly) more reliant on her ult than he is

i might go for her on her rerun cause I love her design, but in terms of kit I'm not a big fan so i'll most likely skip

[jaunty badger]

do you think her lightcone would be good on ratio

actually i didn't check if you can even use it on him

[plain bluff]

yes

def ignore is very powerful

[rocky palm]

I do really want Moze

[plain bluff]

but you still need an extra debuff

if you're using the IPC ratio team

Moze does well

in that regard

you can replace Topaz with him

since he provides 2 debuffs in his base kit

[rocky palm]

Moze provides 2 debuffs right

okay yeah

[plain bluff]

you can also go for Topaz's LC, but that's a lot more expensive

[jaunty badger]

robin e1 seems ok and topaz e1 is also ok

what about kafkas and black swans lightcones

[rocky palm]

robin e1 pretty busted from what i've heard

20% res pen is acheron ult res pen

[plain bluff]

remember the old E1?

lol

that was truly broken

it's what her E6 currently is

[jaunty badger]

robin lightcone time

[plain bluff]

Robin's LC isn't that mandatory

the event lc is fine

[rocky palm]

I don't remember her e6

[jaunty badger]

i got nothing else to go for

[rocky palm]

what's the event lc

[plain bluff]

she does a lot more damage

[plain bluff]

the one that came with robin

I don't remember the name

[rocky palm]

[plain bluff]

but it's the best f2p LC for her

outside of meshing cogs

it boosts attack by 42% and gives a 30% damage buff on ult

or something like that

[rocky palm]

For tomorrow's journey?

[plain bluff]

yes

thank you

[jaunty badger]

For Tomorrow's Journey

[plain bluff]

oh

32

not 42

[shrewd plinth]

Kafka's a solid lightcone for both Utility and Damage, but it's a relatively small increase compared to S5 GNSW
Black Swan's on the other hand is pretty big since it gives DoT's DEF Ignore which is significant.

[rocky palm]

As an e0s1 robin haver, I will say that the lc helps ult consistency tremendously

[humble citrus]

All DoT's or just black swan's?

[plain bluff]

the only problem is the price

of getting it

[rocky palm]

yeah

[plain bluff]

it's definitely amazing

but is it worth it?

[rocky palm]

it's a gigantic stat stick and gives bonus attack + ERR though

15% ERR on a lc is a fucking lmao moment

[jaunty badger]

it would be good but i don't got any good nihility characters to really make use of it

[plain bluff]

it's so good

[shrewd plinth]

I'd assume it only effects hers, based on the wording. Though it's a little unclear.

[plain bluff]

Robin's ult cycling without it

is painful

and it stacks well with other err boosts

[rocky palm]

I've got 139% ERR on Robin rn

Including her lc buff ofc

[shrewd plinth]

Well, then there's not much point in getting them...

[rocky palm]

Did they announce any new relics?

[shrewd plinth]

Just a new set of Planars, but it wasn't mentioned what they do

[rocky palm]

I know what they do

I will be furiously farming one of them, I'll leave it at that

[shrewd plinth]

Either way, with Creator Server stuff likely releasing early next week, we'll likely know soon enough

[rocky palm]

oh yeah

the main buff of robin's lc isn't even the bonus ERR tho

it's the +48% attack she gets while in ult

[plain bluff]

just wish it didn't have that one condition...

but I guess it's a balancing factor

Robin's E1 might be better than her LC

maybe

[rocky palm]

makes her stronger but less consistent

lc improves her by less but makes her strong more frequently

[rocky palm]

honestly i think it's fine

||it's a hypercarry set and not much else||

||gonna be busted on Robin though||

wasn't really a spoiler but added that jic

[plain bluff]

yeah

[rocky palm]

if i'm right, wearing fleet improves Robin's attack buff by only 2%

but also buffs allies' by an additional 8%

||whereas the new set buffs one ally's by 16%||

[plain bluff]

||it also gives err||

[rocky palm]

||so robin would have to have 8x the attack of the one unit in order for fleet to be better than it||

[rocky palm]

this is the main reason

[humble citrus]

@rocky palm what's feixiao's relic set?

[rocky palm]

the one that's already out

dauntless or something

[plain bluff]

the other one in the firefly cavern

[rocky palm]

valorous

[humble citrus]

[rocky palm]

it was confirmed hers from the get go though

[humble citrus]

thought that was gonna be a jade only set

[rocky palm]

the lore makes it v obviously made for feixiao

[rocky palm]

it's also yunli's bis iirc

[rocky palm]

is a perfect score in AS 8k?

[fiery geyser]

Yeah

[lilac spire]

oh no i just saw a clip of an adorable character from genshin

except i cant tell what animal she is

bear or squirrel

[fiery geyser]

the one with the drill?

[lilac spire]

oh maybe a mouse

think its a drill, looks more like a top

dont see it drilling anything

[fiery geyser]

Oh yeah, she just hops on it lol

[shrewd plinth]

She's assumed to be a Pika

Mainly because of her ears, and the origin of her name sharing a location with these little guys

[lilac spire]

thats just pikachu

[shrewd plinth]

[shrewd plinth]

Man, I don't know what it is but I've gotten a surprising amount of the characters I like the most from the Standard Banner
First it was Kirara, then Tighnari then Kaveh and now Diona

[reef elm]

[shrewd plinth]

No, I literally just got her

[reef elm]

oh cool

dionas useful

i just did the new artifact mechanic

got nothing

[fiery geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/everything-gif-18150693

[reef elm]

the past four days

looking back i should have made a goblet istead of circlet

so that i get double chances of cv

[fiery geyser]

tbf the goblet one is really expensive

it needs 4 of the elixirs iirc

[fiery geyser]

maybe the first one?
once you get 4pc she’ll get 40% CR by default, plus she has it as an ascension stat iirc
so slightly more crit DMG would help for bigger numbers (plus you got some bonus EM and HP)

[reef elm]

yeah

[jaunty badger]

I got 50 rolls right now

I’m debating on if I should get feixaoi or maybe make a new team

[fiery geyser]

IT theatre reset

there’s also the new hard mode which needs 22 characters

[fiery geyser]

ok wow, the way they revamped the blessings/boons is insane

they’re actually worth taking now

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, they're really solid!

[fiery geyser]

they carried some of my runs so hard 💀

you did a full playthrough already?

[shrewd plinth]

Only on Medium, since that's all I have characters for currently

For Acheron?

[rocky palm]

yeah

[reef elm]

ah darn my account has a new highest record for damage

mualani beat eula

i need eula cons

[fiery geyser]

or furina c1/c2

[reef elm]

what does tha tdo

[fiery geyser]

C1 increases fanfare limit and burst immediately starts you with 100 stacks

C2 makes you get fanfare crazy fast and any leftover stacks that pass the limit will increase Furina’s HP instead, so her pets start doing way more damage

[reef elm]

That’s quite good

[fiery geyser]

MoC reset tomorrow

[rocky palm]

i stg bruh

take these fucking puppets away

i don't want to fight these dumbasses anymore

there are like a billion bosses in this game

why tf are they sticking with the puppets

[plain bluff]

would you rather fight aventurine?

[rocky palm]

yes

at least aventurine would be new

[plain bluff]

fair

[rocky palm]

New MoC is interesting?

Not sure who the mechanic is supposed to be for

[shrewd plinth]

Feixiao probably, since it rewards FUA and attacking as much as possible

[fiery geyser]

Aventurine boss is

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, I almost didn't get my 3rd star because he stalled for so damn long...

Also he almost killed Ruan Mei

[fiery geyser]

It’s so cool getting your energy stolen before dice

[shrewd plinth]

Yep

[fiery geyser]

[fiery geyser]

you also used FF against him?

[shrewd plinth]

Yup

[fiery geyser]

good ol superbreak

[shrewd plinth]

[rocky palm]

Boothill massacred him as expected

His toughness bar was weaker than I expected it to be ngl

[fiery geyser]

did you kill him before playing the gamble?

[rocky palm]

Might try it again with HMC instead of Bronya tomorrow cause I can already break it in two shots

Uhh

Yeah actually

[fiery geyser]

💀

[rocky palm]

It took longer to kill him once he was broken than to break him in the first place which was surprising

[fiery geyser]

lol

doing another run rn but

my yunli team got their side faster than FF 💀

[rocky palm]

you did acheron on kafka side i'm guessing?

[fiery geyser]

Aven/Robin/Yunli/Pela vs. Kafka side
FF superbreak vs Aven

but I think it’s just a bad matchup

switched sides and FF team cleared much faster vs kafka

ok yeah, much faster

25 cycles left vs. 27

Based on this part of the flavour text

It makes sense as well, since you get 1 per tribe and there'll end up being 6 tribes when the full Natlan map is revealed in 5.2/5.3

[reef elm]

ah yeah

[rocky palm]

Why can't I have two robin's...

[lilac spire]

cuz a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush

wait that doesnt sound right

[humble citrus]

if/when sunday is playable do you think he’ll also have 100% AA

bc that’s how you get 2 robins

or the closest thing to it

[rocky palm]

It's certainly possible that they have the kits mirror each other

I think most people expect him to be Harmony but I could see them doing something weird like Nihility for him

[jaunty badger]

how many days till the new banners for sr

[mortal osprey]

erudition would make a certain amount of sense

but then the paths characters go for aren't that often their actual lore path so who knows tbh

[fiery geyser]

I hope they nerf robin tbh

[rocky palm]

Wtflipping fuck

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

Why would you say this

[fiery geyser]

because

[rocky palm]

Seth has become an agent of chaos

I must bonk him to restore order

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

A kiss to heal the damaging effects of le bonk

[jaunty badger]

i only noticed the ai tag after seeing all the boob ones

[reef elm]

Oh her arm is missing

You could chalk it up to camera angle though

[jaunty badger]

it has an #ai generated as a tag

the rest of their work doesn't look ai though

[shrewd plinth]

ah fuck

[fiery geyser]

[shrewd plinth]

Normally that tag is right at the beginning and highlighted, so I didn't notice

Isn’t Jane doe a blessing fellas?

She the type of women you’d go to war for and have a photo of her so you remember what you’re fight for type shit

[reef elm]

Cri so is cool

[humble citrus]

Only 20 pulls needed, damn i'm lucky

i have about 70 for next patch

[reef elm]

I’m close to doing the Liyue moc

Wonder if Acherons set is any good on jingliu

I should also figure who to use for her second support

Or dps

[reef elm]

Who should I use on jingliu team

[shrewd plinth]

Tingyun, Sparkle and a Sustain is my first thought

[reef elm]

I usually run Gallagher with jingliu

He deals almost as much damage as her lol

[humble citrus]

fu xuan has the crit boost that jingliu enjoys

and she’s a good sustain in her own right

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, I'd recommend you run Fu Xuan with Jingliu

And Gallagher with Acheron
