Whoa
Soon brother 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨

Holy fuck burnice has some big ass ||pigtails||
The first two will go into Crit Rate and Crit Damage, the rest into Flat Attack
||Very very close||
it's not bad but it's not good compared to my current headpiece
Cowboy actually built diff lmao
My top score on Phanytylia side is 14 higher, I can break 7500 but might not be today
I lied
182 AV Phantylia side is pretty insane


idek what changed cause I only made JQ slower
only by 4 speed so it shouldn't have really affected anything anyways

Yeah, it definitely takes a while in the begining
Once you get a stockpile of stuff gotten from events and quests, it gets a bit easier
would you all recommend doing the quick start function for archon quests
Nah, I wouldn't
While yes, you could get more rewards by completing the quests in the patch they're released, you'll be missing out on a bunch of story context. Assuming you care about the story, that is.
I wish I had mora and books
that 500 primos look really tempting though
how self contained are they
Not very
Natlan's already made references to the Fontaine arc and the Mondstadt Arc
So you'll be missing out on a good bit of context if you don't do those
There are lore videos if you really want to skip the story
is the double rewards for leyline event a common one
Yes
Yeah, the double-reward events are usually once-per-patch
Though they alternate between leylines and domains
that's still fairly common
I was getting anxious because of my low AR keeping me from getting good rewards
maybe i should play faust bc damn im lucky
for who?
feixiao
yeah she's shaping up to be really good
just need the body and boots artifacts
holy shit

this was from the synthesizer too
the head piece i kept on me just in case but the gloves i actually got lucky on
Just got a very similar piece, also from synthesizer
finally a good acheron piece 
that cr one is p insane
Have more clear goals now
Either I get ridiculously lucky on some cr rolls for the 3 relics that still need to be replaced, OR I swap cd chest to cr chest and get lucky cd rolls on the last 3 relics
Goal is firmly 66/250 minimum now though, cause it's 100% attainable with some luck
Luckily planar event is on Monday so I've got a chance to get a good orb/rope then

If I could get this luck with Diver, Acheron would've been done months ago
Good for Herta at least
Can't remember who else has Boothill in here rn, but if you want to take a shot at emulating my run...
what website is this that rates artifacts?
A Honkai Star Rail optimizer, relic scorer, damage calculator, and various other tools for building and showcasing characters.
The real question is if you'll be able to reach 100% with this 
I'm having that issue with Acheron rn where I was aiming for cd chest and cr substats but I keep getting the opposite
if i swap to cr chest i think i get 100% cr but sub 100 cd
if i get lc ill have 95% cr and i think thats ok for now
I think I’ll be near 100% cr once I get c1 of Acheron
I have 59% according to HoYoLAB
ah
salsotto helps
Duran is still her bis but it's not by too much iirc
wind orb is preferable but next to impossible to get without resin so 
v nice build though
i have 2 good relics on her and the rest are pretty meh
thanking every day i got a goated orb for acheron
i gave up on lightning orb ngl
Found it was still giving a negligible damage increase vs atk orb even with Robin ult up
yeah iirc you still want atk%
it's just whichever gives better substats
but lightning orb is way harder to get in the first place
rn i'm hoping to get a cr chest with >20% cd, and then I have to get a decent planar pair
ah see im hoping for a cd chest with 20% cr

tis impossible i'm afraid
max substat you can get should be 18 I think
it's roughly half of the chest equivalent of the stat
34~ish for cd substat, 16~ish for cr
with slightly higher or lower values depending on if you got high or low rolls into the substat
Btw how bad is this
trust
critting once a century 
Always fun hitting 33k lol
JL gets a ton of crit rate
in stance
Ooo
75% from memory
I did not realize it was that much 
oh, it's 50%
JQ got moved up to .5 for MoC 
If there ever comes to be a sustain that can apply def shred...

He's the best rn but he's also too valuable for Feixiao 
yeah 
I'm also wondering if they'll ever release a nihility/debuffer sustain, considering JQ is a canonical healer and still didn't have anything in his kit about that 
obviously there are sustains with debuffs rn, but i mean one that particularly focuses on applying debuffs
Too expensive for me tbh
Especially since I'll still be using him with Feixiao for the most part
Since JQ didn't get the supposed ||"heal on DOT"|| thing, there's a non-zero chance it's being saved for a DOT support in the future
I don't think it'll be too far till we get a debuff focused sustain though, DOT has been aching for a new noteworthy support for a while and sustain is the only role that's not really fulfilled yet
HuoHuo is probably the closest thing
since her buffs are the most applicable for DoT teams
out of all of the sustains
true
Finally
It finally happened
Got this from the double event
P happy with it, doubt I'll get anything better but still need the rope so we'll see

You do have robin/sparkle to help you out
Robins not really on the table anymore
Sadly
She's stuck with Feixiao now
And I get bored way too fast when I use sparkle

would you reckon Grace is getting powercrept now
Finally an electro dps
they've been able to find niches so far, I don't think we're in straight upgrade territory yet
Feesh stealing my relics
give 

no 
I got 2 attack ropes total, out of all 12 double planars

*from izumo set
what's your cr?
32 rn but that's because I'm trolling and maximizing cd for funny
with a cr chest i have 59/238
and boots still need to be replaced
I'm probably going to go for E1/2 next rerun
e2 broken beyond belief, though I won't lie
getting to 95%+ cr on Acheron with decent crit damage is such a pain
without the free 18%
JQ is a better investment than e2 imo
||just need to see how good Sunday is||

||praying for hypercarry support, or break support||
||if the energy thing is true though then he'll be kind of wasted on acheron||
||it'd be kind of interesting if he could store stacks||
||if that ends up being a thing he can do then he's broken for her||
||imagine a literal back to back ult with acheron||
||brain in a vat personified||
||but Acheron's ult is miles better||
||Feixiao's is pretty damn good but yeah in terms of pure nuclear ability acheron's pulls ahead||
||She also doesn't have a "true" team comp yet. JQ is the one support that's made for her, the other two characters don't generally contribute a whole ton||
||So once she gets more characters that synergize well her ult uptime will go through another explosion phase||
||and she was already t0 without JQ||
||tbh I was going to agree with Prydwen moving her down to t.5 before JQ came out||
||it was really just a matter of MoC and AS not really favoring lightning||
||a lot of the MoC buffs weren't benefitting her a whole ton but she was also having a tough time in terms of keeping ult and debuffs up||
||for 2 patches in a row||
true
There are still some people in the acheron subreddit who decry JQ's usefulness and stuff but they undervalue the consistency he provides
people still say that?
even outside of his consistent debuffs
his def shred is very valuable
Pela can cause a greater amount of damage but JQ uptime makes every hit more worthwhile, and increases ult uptime by a ton
Does vulnerability do the same thing as def shred?
Idk all the calcs
they stack on top of each other

If i had pearls i'd probably use pela more
As it is though, I have to use her skill to inflict debuffs
wasn't pearls on this LC banner?
suffering from success
i'd rather just run JQ and wait for a good harmony or sustain
she's really good for 0 cycles
she's good for Boot too but JQ performs about the same or better
JQ was such a good pull for my account because of that
I didn't even realize he would benefit Boothill until I saw a 0 cycle using Acheron and Boot on the same team
💀
i can understand why they did it now
Acheron is causing actual problems in terms of balancing other nihility units now lol
they can't make nihility units too strong bc then acheron gets too much of a buff
and that sucks cause nihility units were already fairly inferior to harmony units in terms of their damage increases
yep
they're probably going to make more DoT characters
or a dedicated support for DoT
imagine a support that can AA enemies or something
that'd allow them to introduce new nihility characters w/o buffing Acheron too much
yeah
still hopeful for nihility healer someday
nihility shielder sounds too far fetched imo
||non-zero chance that Obsidian is a physical abundance debuffer though||
||basing that entirely off her being a vampire unit that causes bleed btw||
||a lifesteal debuff could be interesting||
or something like that
I think that Gallagher already has that
though
it's getting a little tricky in regards to the debuff stuff tbh
cause JQ dominates the enemy turn phase now
so every other support for acheron needs to focus debuff gain on the ally turn section
and idk how they would do that outside of just making another character that inflicts debuffs with basic/skill/ult
if they made a 5* Pela (outside of SW)
that'd really help
but it'd probably also push Acheron over the edge
yeah
I could see them doing something that's kind of interrim of ally and enemy turns
i.e. ally hits enemy and inflicts their own debuffs, which triggers something on the enemy that again applies a debuff
they probably don't want her to fire off ults consistently
what other things do you think they could add?
I can't really come up with anything beyond the stack storing
though they might be hesitant to add that given acheron and feixiao are already able to do that
still v possible though
i figure they'll probably start turning some of the SU blessings into character kits at some point
to a less broken degree though
AA is the most busted thing in the game
I'm not sure that people value it as much as they should
That's one of my big wishes for Boothill
It's unlikely that he ever gets a custom support bc hoyo hates him
but if he does, AA on kill would be such a nice thing
basically a powercrept version of bronya
call me coping but I still don't think Yunli powercrept Clara by that much in terms of performance
Not saying that Yunli is bad, but Clara has a pretty absurd kit for a standard character
Yunli's lc is huge
being able to act on enemy turns is a massive privilege
Makes her get 2 turn ults most of the time, which is exactly what she wants
I really need to finish building her
And preferably get e6 Tingyun as well
I have e3 or something and that has all been on off-banner rolls 💀
all of mine have been from the standard banner
2
foxian privilege
meanwhile, JQ with 98 base speed: 
getting him to 161 and 140% EHR was simultaneously harder and easier than I thought
Had to get 63 speed from substats and boots while also getting ~80% EHR
ooo
had a thought actually
one thing i could see with them increasing acheron stack gain
if they ever make a counter sustain
aventurine kind of does that but also not really
Acheron hits for close to 1.3 mil in the training room now 
That's without max stacks on JQ's ult too
i mean in terms of the writers putting her on that situation, why can’t she just be happy
it would be really funny if she || comes back as a destruction character ||
||”yeah i learned a thing or two it is what it is” ||
but idk what they could do
Okay
So I've been doing some refining using my existing relics
This is going to be my "Robin" build
Speed boots instead of atk boots which lets me get to 143 during Robin's ult, then the ult makes up for the lack of attack
I still have to come up with a non-Robin build, which will require some more fine-tuning
Especially if there's a new hypercarry support I ever want to build around
i can clear AS side 2 but not side 1
you're dying on it?
Or just not clearing it fast enough
dying
what team are you using
what eidolon is your gally?
6!
and healing chest?
maybe aventurine hits really hard, i get to ignore his side cause boothill
is Feixiao able to one shot kill the dice
Yeah, it’s kinda iffy for gally
i did a run with gally instead of aven and came close to dying a couple of times
it's kind of tough with this team
yes to healing chest
i might suggest swapping out bronya for another harmony

youre funny feesh
dang
what speed is your gally at
and what kind of issues are leading to you dying
like is gallagher not getting his ult up at all, is aven hitting too much
do you have speed boots?
yeah
@wicked gazelle do you have hunt march built
n ope
damn
I got a clear with Feixiao Gally HMarch Herta
Obviously there are some differences but I think it's definitely possible
Could you post your Gally stats though? I'm not sure why you'd be dying, I only came close to death once and it was when Feixiao got targeted 3x in a row
I thought that was Dan heng il luminae
a little bad news for you, Aven has a 40% res to quantum
so you'll probably want to spend a little time building HMarch, then replace Jade with her
not imaginary?
surprised they changed that
maybe it's imaginary as well
HMarch isn't there for damage tho
she's there to buff Feixiao + give stacks
fair enough
He has 40% fire, quantum, and imaginary res
I'm also gonna come out and say it
Damn, Feixiao kind of sucks without Robin bruh
she's not terrible with Sparkle
I tried it out the other day
Moze stocks
I'm trying to emulate how Zyx can run it, he's using Sparkle on Acheron
he resists Topaz and March
Moze ain't that good on this side imo
He swaps around too much, uses up sp from time to time
the dice don't have any resistances as well
doesn't get his AA too frequently either
oh cool
This fight does seem made for Boothill the more and more I play with different teams though
He fucks on this stage
March doesn't have a target-lock mechanic, right?
Topaz has Numby and Moze has his skill, but I don't think that March has anything like that
Nope
She attacks whoever Feixiao attacks
that's very convenient
yep
The run I did was 90% damage from Feixiao and the rest in very small increments from HMarch
Still got 3300 tho
Robin is so busted it's unbelievable
it really is
and it only gets better
with E1
the fact that they gave her 24% res pen is genuinely absurd
"what does Robin need in her e1 to make her stronger..."
"what if we gave her Ruan Mei's ult?"
"fantastic idea"
- the devs
they didn’t want dps robin to be that obtainable
oh wow

The flowers do heal you on death so sustain is a little less important
you don't need a sustain at all as long as you can kill the destruction blooms
:grief:
relics i think

https://youtu.be/86hq0DAlJGY?feature=shared
acheron my favorite erudition even though herta did a lot of the work

4:10 was scripted af, I still can’t believe it lol
They could have hit yunli (w/ her aggro) or feixiao, but Gallagher took two hits in a row
Herta Acheron is not a comp I thought would work... I'm gonna have to try this in the future 

It might be a little reliant though on ice weakness + RM ult needs to be up for the petal debuff on hit

The wait for xilonen is long
Fortunately I've got Lingsha to hold me over next week
You’ve got guaranteed, right?
I’ll just be playing magic
No, but I'm close
~70 pulls plus 70 pity for Lingsha

Oh I guess there’s a zzz update today too
The 🐀 is going away 
Beeg
Damage

Wonder how her team will improve tho

?

So sweet
finally
I want lighter

Lighter
"You may not have the skill to defeat me, but could you not bleed so much?"
"I know, fainting at the sight of blood isn't very impressive for 'The Champion.'"

#Lighter
I just recently got every four star in the game
Took me forever to get one Lucy and I got her when she wasn’t even on rate up💀
Yeah she was my last 4 star as well think it was standard
why😭
When yae miko fineass coming back
I want chlorinde
So you’re telling me if I was playing at the time of her banner I could’ve gotten her and her weapon in like 20 pulls instead of Emile and her weapon ain’t that some shit? 🤣
These fucking ambiguous gachas on god


Blade's ult is so sick

yet another mode where Aventurine is top tier
I use 300 charge on exp items
It gets soldier 11 from 55 to 58
This lategane grind might be the worst in Hoyo games as a whole
Everytime I play hsr or zzz as a low level I always farm xp until I can actually build my character
That being said that shit becomes non existent and drained in seconds
its like this meme
It would be interesting to see some modes that don't involve combat
Like building a team for survivial rather than damage
It wouldn't work very well, but could potentially be interesting
As long as it's not that stupid "revive and get 50 energy every time you die" thing again
I upgraded three W engines and I was soo tapped out💀
Then those fucking boss materials wtf
Atleast now they’re unlimited but we get one per refresh after initially using our three free ones idk when that goes live though

Is ZZZZZ any good?
Almost done with the Path to Nowhere story and im considering
Also is it like on steam or smt
Yeah it’s good you play it NOW
MODERATOR COMMANDS U
Let me be cringe 💀
Ok but like whats good about it?
Lets hear the sales pitch
The combat is pretty fun like sure it’s easy but it’s fun
its basically Genshins rotational combat made into its own game
though the combat run way smoother imo
I dont play genshin so idk what that means
you're basically playing with 3 characters that cover certain niches
stunner, buffer, damage dealer etc.
and you control one each time and swap out between the team, so you mostly worry about figuring out the optimal rotations
so like stunner>damage buffing support>DPS
idk how clear cut genshin's combat is but imo it feels like a hack and slash a lot of the time
which isn't bad, but I don't understand anything going on in combat and I can still get wins
I'm gonna go slander ZZZ a bit
I think its too easy a lot of the time
a lot of cool stuff you can do basically have close to no execution barrier
which is desirable for a mobile game but I feel the gameplay is a little shallow for a game you can play in a PC
So y’all are pitching wuwa to this guy
Play Wuthering waves if you want more depth in combat
Ps5 port when I’m waiting 😩😩😩
Tokyo game show tomorrow PLEASSE KURO LOCK IN
tbh you should play a paid hack and slash if you want good combat
Whaat the hell zzz runs on mobile damn
Im hesitant to play a triple A gacha, because thats two strikes
Ill think about it though
I think its fine if you play for an hour or two
Set a timer for 120 minutes and than delete it and never think about it again?
I mean that’s reasonable
per day
Oh I dont play any games for that stretch normally
you can play more casually too, but you should know that gacha games don't really respect your time that much
The others I play are Path to Nowhere and Limbus, and those aren’t too bad in that sense Ig?
Is it worse in ZZZ?
Hitting 913k without HMC is truly a wild thing
as soon as genshin arrives on switch, surely. 
Epic games I think as well
I mean it’s more realistic than that
Imma tag u when it comes out I got you bro
To the new Cauldron Master of the Xianzhou Luofu, everyone has their own unique scent. We invite Master Lingsha on this program to answer a question: How should we become a fine-smelling Intellitron? Her generous answer: "Be charitable and few of vices... But most importantly, shower."
Thank you for tuning in to this special Interastral Peace En...
Also, Genshin 5.1 Livestream is this Friday!
Here is my complete guide to the brand new Lingsha! She is a brand new limited sustain unit coming to Honkai: Star Rail. She is a break / summon oriented Abundance unit with very big quality of life and potential. I go through her kit, eidolons, best build, teams, and more, like a long Gallagher comparison! I think she's awesome :)
This is all o...
Hadn't really looked at her kit that closely, this vid does a good job of explaining it
also ig this is confirmation that the english voice actors are tabled bc of the strikes
it's kind of funny that they showcase lingsha w/ QQ in the first vid, considering Guoba states QQ is one of the worst synergies bc of sp issues lol
She seems p good though
Definitely the JQ equivalent for FF
i might've been tempted to pull for her if running her with Boothill wasn't going to be a nightmare in terms of sp management
even with RM sig I don't think there will be enough to go around
oh aleks lee is lighter
Pretty interesting precedent being set
Seems like these leakers may have been too public with their stuff
But it could potentially scare all hoyo leakers to stop?


Archon story quest ||wasn’t good wasn’t bad paimon talked a bit less I enjoyed it||
Also didn’t feel like I had to do Fontaine to understand it didn’t really ruin the experience and when I do Fontaine with the little things I can just piece together no big deal

nuclear bomb preparation


Soon™️



Lighter from zzz is k' and I might start playing zzz again 
How have you been feeling about the showcases?
I've not seen too many yet, but she's pretty much what expected. Gallagher with more AoE and way more consistant/comfortable healing which is more than enough for me!
While SP may be an issue, I do plan to get E1 Firefly eventually so that'll mitigate it

I've heard conflicting things about her sp
Some people say it's not bad, others say it's v bad, others say she's positive
Beginning to think no one actually knows...
Bare minimum, you need to use her skill whenever her Fu Yuan points are at 1/0
Which roughly results in a Skill/Basic/Basic rotation, making her slightly positive
If you want her to deal max damage though, you want to skill as much as possible
Since it advances Fu Yuan and deals more AoE Toughness Damage
So it's a case-by-case basis
As far as I understand, anyway
Wrong small pink thing with the first name 'Fu' and the last 3 letters of their last name being 'uan'
That’s not confusing at all
So, I finally got round to levelling my relics for Pela
She now has 1000 DEF exactly

Got the same on Boot, plus repeating digits in HP


I need powercreep Bronya to come out soon 
I want to have 250 speed too

I wonder if they'll release upgraded versions of all the standard characters
Aventurine isn't as 1-1 to Gepard as Yunli and Clara but there are some similarities there I think
if aven had increased imprison chance on his ult then he'd be more similar
or a debuff that reduced effect res for welt to inflict more imprison
Shrimply use Robin

I wonder if we'll ever get another character able to do revives
you do have e1 though which works on break
||Tingyun|| will totally be able to /s.
gepard has a self revive
time’s up

anime when
Boothill and Acheron have ridiculuous synergy
Was getting 2 ults a turn practically along with JQ and RM
shes getting there
feixiao-jade? nice 
I want to run the same thing but im getting new artifacts for jade.
Yep! With her she gets to 146 speed without boots and even higher with e2 bronya
Idk if y’all got ayato but I 10/10 recommend he’s satisfying to play
Ah yeah, I've played his trial version in events before and he seems really fun!
Though he's definitely not high on my priority list on reruns to pull on
That’s fair
I have jade cutter on him rn since ayaka doesn’t really need it
It’s not entirely different from the black sword dmg wise but it does give u that extra dps to kill

When y’all think the fire archon coming out
Since there is no 5.2 archon quest probably 5.3
Yeah, I think 5.3 as well
Since Xilonen is the only new 5 star of 5.1, and there's no Archon Quest update in 5.2

Mods get him out of here
What can I say, I'm dedicated

If it's any consolation, the majority of those are from exploration
Since that's basically all I've been doing for about half of the past few weeks
and I may or may not of broken my F2P status to get a Welkin and a Battlepass to get like, 15 more, but that's besides the point
For her, it's worth it
nah but fr tho, those are probably the best things you can get money wise
welkin especially

Yeah, I know. I only spent £15 and I don't intend to spend any more than this, at least at any point in the near future

Welkin is the one month login thing right?
Ah I forgot to login yesterday oops
Yeah, it gives you 90 primos a day for 30 days
It works out to ~15 pulls
actually was considering to purchase that in couple of weeks
I want to see how if I can reliably login to Genshin while attending school first
Sounds like a solid idea!
If you are gonna grab anything, then the Welkin is the best value thing you can get so it's the best thing you can pick up
yeah they want to push people into welkin and the battle pass from what I observe
everything else is pretty bad value
Yup...
Yeah…
is there a chart or something that gives tldrs on characters niches in genshin
I might know something about em
As for the guide thing, afaik not really
I think the closest would probably be keqing mains (or KQM)
there’s usually a summary of what each character does, their pros/cons, builds, etc.
With how versitile some characters are and how many possible archetypes there are, something like that would take forever to put together
And may be a little too confusing
For example, Freminet is a recent 4 star on-field DPS that can be built for Physical Damage, Cryo Damage, focused around the Shatter reaction (don't do this), or fit in the flext slot of a Hyperbloom team
So he'd fit into 4 archetypes/niches all by himself, and the majority of characters are like this as well
please actually, giving up freeze for shatter is like the worst trade possible
@muted tundra what were the 4 stars you had in mind?
one character I was thinking of was Sucrose for example
and was wondering if there was any other chars that do similar things to her
The closest comparison is probably Kazuha
Yup, the main difference between her and Kazuha is that she buffs EM instead of DMG%
And she takes up less field time overall as well
do you want to use her if you have Kazuha
In some teams yeah, specifically teams that value EM over DMG% like Dendro teams and arguably Vaporise teams
Usually it goes like:
Kazuha is so much easier to play
Sucrose can sorta have a higher ceiling sometimes but she’s a little more intricate
like Kazuha skill and burst are just deployed wherever he is so you have complete control over that stuff
Whereas sucrose targeting might make a skill/burst miss from time to time

Plus Sucrose's Crowd Control isn't as good as Kazuha unless you have C1 and/or Sacrifical Fragments so you can use her skill more than once at a time
true

But overall, she's pretty interchangeable and can work anywhere Kazuha could work
is Kazuha worth it if you have Sucrose then?
Yep! Mainly because he's easier to use, provides DMG% which is more widely wanted/needed than EM, and also has a bit of value in the overworld as well
I guess the best way to put it is that he's much more generalised
worst case scenario, you could also use Kazuha on one side and sucrose on the other

I know a lot of limited characters are in "worth it" territory for my account but I'm just trying to figure out the meta of the game for now
I wanna pull for characters I can use somewhat effectively later on
like in couple of months
Archons for sure
Yeah, I kinda do that as well
Kazuha's definitely a safe bet, as he can fit into a bunch of teams
One thing I would do though is figure out what teams you want to/can put together and work towards two specifically.
For example I have Clorinde Quickbloom (Clorinde/Fischl/Furina/Baizhu) and Navia Double Pyro (Navia/Kachina/Bennet/Dehya)
With these teams in mind, it gives me a better idea of what characters benefit my account more than others. For example Xilonen might be able to replace Kachina, someone like Raiden, Yae or Kuki could replace Fischl, etc.
I might need to check some limited characters synergies soon to plan out my account soon
This is super condensed so don’t take it super seriously, but the 5 star meta is probably something like:
DPS — Neuvillette, Arlecchino, Alhaitham, Navia, Lyney, Hu Tao, Xiao (needs some premium investment though), Childe
Support/Buffer/sub DPS — Kazuha, Furina, Nahida, Raiden (well she’s more like a DPS/support hybrid), Baizhu, Kokomi, Yelan, Cloud Retainer
“Niche” teams but very powerful — Emilie, Nilou
I also forgot to mention kinich and mualani for dps, but they kinda have the problem right now with awkward team options
They’ll prolly go hard when the pyro archon comes out though
their synergies probably hasn't released yet
yeah
the game handles powercreep in a pretty interesting manner
it mostly works like photography and art
I'd also like to add Xianyun to the supports list as, while her buffs are niche, she's still a team-wide Anemo healer that can make use of VV. Plus, she enables plunge archetpes for all DPS characters.
Ooh yeah, I forgot about her 
they exist together without replacing one and other most of the time
but strictly main-DPS characters seem to get shafted a lot from what I observe
that’s usually how it goes like in gacha
in my background everything gets powercrept lmao

Genshin also has the plus side of having no competitive modes
you don't get rewards from your clear times or something while getting ranked
Yeah, that helps a lot
Also old 4 stars and dendro are super strong, so F2P teams can still clear stuff in the meantime while waiting for character banners
FEH has multiple competitive modes with its own metas😭
💀
it also makes the game new player friendly for the wrong reasons
Yup!
Something like DMC/Collei/Fichl or Kuki/Barbara and Sucrose/Bennet/Xiangling/Xingqiu are more than capable of 36 starring Abyss
new characters also get like a ton of traits/perks compared to old ones, right
because older units suck and you have to get newer ones regardless lmao

yeah, and sometimes they have exclusive stuff to themselves
one of the most used characters is Felix, and his best stuff is locked to him
no one else can use it?
yeah
you can't give his stuff to your favorite unit
sometimes some characters gets buffs though

which ends them up with their weapon descriptions doubling in length😭
but you have to use unique resources for them as well
you don't buff them with pulls thankfully
resource can only be used to buff them specifically
and you can grind them over time
sometimes they make some lower rarity units legit meta too
but you can't really bank on that, its more reliable to get new limited units
gotcha

this stuff gives me some relief at least
main draws of pulling is mostly your enjoyment of characters instead of game making it so that you actually need them to clear stuff
Yup! Also to make things easier to clear or just more fun/interesting for you
unironically, if nothing is working out
Hyperbloom works like 99% of the time
For example, during the first half of 4.8 both Navia and Nilou were on banner. While Nilou would've been the better long-term choice, I went with Navia since I knew I'd have more fun with her
also does Genshin have to way for you to try out characters
excluding the newest limited at that time
I know ZZZ has it
Sometimes the combat events?
In the event page there's a chance to trial characters that are currently on banner
they’ll give you trial versions of characters outside the current banner
but that’s really it afaik
That too, yeah
sometimes also in a quest, but it’s rare and doesn’t last too long
I think you can use imaginarium theatre for that as well?
ooh yeah
Ah, yeah. There's a handful of characters that you can try out there as well
unironically FGC could never
For example, there's Emilie, Dehya, Mualani, Yaoyao, Xiangling and a couple others I can't remember currently

hold on I think you can use "rental" characters on SF6
but most FGs don't even have that so it still stands
robin and FX LC acquired
Happy for you

lol

bruh jingliu just rocked up as if she wasn't a wanted criminal 💀
blade is chillin in the back too
and Luocha lmao
that’s crazy

why do the dice apply a debuff
💀
also the fact that he was left with 1% lol
when they die and give points it counts as an action, so JQ's ult causes a stack
yeah I was surprised by that, i didn't think the dice wouldn't be able to kill him
I think he was left at 1 health tbh, not even 1% lol
bruh 
does this also work on things like the xianzhou dog, xianzhou revive soldiers, penacony dog, or the gumball machines?
💀
I have not paid enough attention to know
I can check in a bit tho
I don't believe so though
oooooh
wait
it might actually be bc each dice increases amount of damage taken
meaning it wouldn't be JQ's ult
There are some times where the dies don't give stacks, which I assumed was bc JQ's were all used up
But if all enemies are taking max damage already (+100%), then there wouldn't be any additional debuffs
i'm not sure now

okay, the first 4 dice give a stack each but once there are more points than Aventurine's they stop giving stacks
So it's not JQ's ult, it's that the points cause incremental debuffs
regardless, Boothill and Acheron have such good synergy
He's able to give her a minimum of two stacks every turn
And up to four potentially
Plus he fulfills the role of "sub"-dps for her that she really needs
he’s a sustain also
