Gacha hell

[wicked gazelle]

[rocky palm]

Her e2 is also nuts

I undervalued it at first

But it pushes character speeds so far

Depending on how Anaxa ends up though

He might be worth it over e1 ||if his kit will work like leaked, and he is a nihility version of Robin||

[reef elm]

I think I might just go for Robin next patch

[plain bluff]

she's incredible

even at E0S0

[plain bluff]

Herta is another easy and solid investment

tbh

like Robin, she really doesn't require much to be good

and she's perfectly suited for upcoming content

she also excels at every endgame gamemode

but, as a dps, she is more prone to powercreep than someone like Robin

[rocky palm]

Since her kit should be going live soon

[plain bluff]

oh

oops

[rocky palm]

I'll say that I think she's absurd

[plain bluff]

sorry for the spoilers

[rocky palm]

And should've been nerfed

Multiple times

[rocky palm]

Since demon quit I don't think anyone cares anymore

It's not like you said much of anything though

[plain bluff]

I guess

all I really said

is that she's busted

[rocky palm]

Yeah

I genuinely don't get how they buffed her 💀

[plain bluff]

honestly

both characters that patch

are absurd

[rocky palm]

Aglaea getting nerfed while Herta was buffed was also kinda weird

[plain bluff]

it really does seem like they're trying to bring the game to a whole new level of power

with 3.X

[rocky palm]

But yeah they're both crazy

Imo Feixiao might struggle to keep up

Acheron will be fine most likely

[plain bluff]

she felt kind of weak this MoC

but it wasn't made for her

I'm just worried about content featuring more enemies

[rocky palm]

I genuinely think Boothill may be the least powercreepable character since Fugue's release

Since he scales off of enemy health and toughness

[fiery geyser]

this moc is not it for feixiao

[rocky palm]

His kit is literally anti-powercreep lol

[fiery geyser]

[plain bluff]

he'll always excel at AS

at the very least

[plain bluff]

especially with Topaz...

since she encourages focusing down a single target

which isn't great

if you're trying to kill trotters

[reef elm]

It’s the stupid dog emote but bird

[rocky palm]

Feixiao's issue rn is that she doesn't have a BiS

[fiery geyser]

Ironic

[rocky palm]

Imo

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

Jiaoqiu gives acheron mad stacks

[plain bluff]

BiS?

[fiery geyser]

[plain bluff]

I think her current team

is as good as it gets

[wicked gazelle]

gotta get those jade stacks

[rocky palm]

No one really gives Feixiao mad stacks

[plain bluff]

Topaz does

and she also amps her damage

significantly

[reef elm]

Isn’t march amazing for her

[plain bluff]

if Topaz gets powercrept, Feixiao would become even more absurd

march is great

[rocky palm]

She does, but not in the same sense as JQ with Acheron

Though that can also be explained with JQ being too synergistic with Acheron

The devs shot him 5 times, and he still got up again...

[wicked gazelle]

just like in the story

[plain bluff]

||why did he live||

[rocky palm]

Cause he's ebic

Oh yeah miyabi will be gone by the time we get them

[wicked gazelle]

do i get bronya e5 or clara e2

[rocky palm]

Lober le duck

or himeko e2

[rocky palm]

I'd say clara e2

Anything past bronya e2 seems unnecessary

Idk himeko e2

[wicked gazelle]

trick question

ill never build clara

[rocky palm]

[fiery geyser]

slightly meme’ing but bronya e4 is nice for feixiao if you play them together

and e6 does make her buff not last only one turn (which is huge, even if getting to that point is )

[wicked gazelle]

i could do sustainless FX

but i think i dont have the speed

[fiery geyser]

[muted tundra]

the gender ratio discourse from WuWa has hit the PGR sub

[shrewd plinth]

Oh god, it's happening with Wuthering Waves as well?

[muted tundra]

I think Wuwa had their own independent discourse from Mihoyo games and that immediately sprinkled into PGR

because I also saw the gender ratio discourse in Mihoyo games for months now

but it hadn't affected the PGR sub until recently

it also doesn't help that they did the CN anniversary stream and there were advertisements for like 5 different units/skins which all of them were female

the only 2 male ones were Dante and Vergil iirc

no video either, just screenshots

[shrewd plinth]

Oh, yikes

[muted tundra]

but hey, they've showed off a wedding skin for the main character of the game

[shrewd plinth]

Oh...yikes...

Admittedly I don't know much about PGR, but I wouldn't have expected it to go in that direction...

[muted tundra]

its kinda of a bummer because they can totally make cool ass male characters

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah...

[muted tundra]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECNVDsBv3uc&ab_channel=VanguardSoundStudio

his patch was up when I was hopping onto the game and he played a huge role for me sticking to the game

[shrewd plinth]

[muted tundra]

like, I don't mind fanservice of female characters but I appreciate it when a game gives me more variety

its like when a mall has really good groceries everyday but after a while it forgoes getting fresh groceries and brings more snack related stuff in a city where there's already good places to buy snacks already but not many for groceries

PGR appeals to a very specific niche(3D brawler) and the other game that propped up the niche has famously have a female only cast

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, for sure

hsr also does that doesnt it

considering they're not giving us fucking anything for an entire month of a bugged aven

on top of everything else

more reason for me to hate aventurine

this is awesome

[reef elm]

True

[robust inlet]

im glad zzz came out and saved me from star rail

that game isnt as good

actually building your characters and levelling and grinding is way more necessary and its annoying

zenless just gives you trial characters all the time and its awesome

the combat is actually fun unlike hsr too

[plain bluff]

actually so ???

and he's just the most popular bugged char

there's also Luocha and Herta

who had debilitating bugs

for over a month

im still on an emotional high from getting miyabi two days ago ngl

it was such an annoying grind im so glad its over

[crisp birch]

This isn’t new, they’ve done 800 primo giveaways

but i want them to fix the VA for 2.7 main story

[rocky palm]

i have hopes that cn might do something

but that seems unlikely

at least the crazy situation on the aven subreddit got resolved lol

[plain bluff]

what happened?

[rocky palm]

it was a mod takeover

mods from a second, less-popular aven subreddit got control and apparently started changing a lot of rules right away

community said "nuh uh" and a couple weeks of war went on with people trying to get the mods outta there

finally worked out based on what i've seen recently

[plain bluff]

I see

interesting

seems like there was more than one issue with aventurine...

[rocky palm]

Reminder for people: DDD is on Aglaea lc banner

last i checked anyways

so if you want to get an s5 or a second copy, save those jades

imma reroll this, wish me luck

[plain bluff]

it's on every LC banner on that side

so, if you roll on Robin's LC banner, you can get two great harmony LCs on one banner

[fiery geyser]

Oh yeah, that damn plant

wonder if they’ll introduce the regular-sized shapeshifters at one point

[shrewd plinth]

They 100% will eventually, and I dread that day

The regular mimiflora aren't even that difficult to deal with, they're just really tanky

[fiery geyser]

💀

[reef elm]

I still tear out my hair against the water Fontaine droplets

I got close with arle but after five tries I gave up

[shrewd plinth]

Oh yeah, those guys are really annoying

They hit like a truck and have a crap load of HP for some reason, even if you use their innate Hydro against them

And what's worse is that you can't freeze them, since that just makes them stronger

[reef elm]

And their attacks are super hard to dodge

[shrewd plinth]

Yep...

[reef elm]

How close

[shrewd plinth]

After the next reset

[rocky palm]

christ

day one of the patch and there are already 2-3 quests that make me go

[fiery geyser]

for their content or because of how they’re made

[rocky palm]

[fiery geyser]

Tomorrow/the next day (wherever you are)

[rocky palm]

okay

i'll spoil this just in case but it's not really spoilers

||rn amphoreus kind of feels like a retelling of Izumo||

[mortal osprey]

this was insane

they sold him bugged and kept him that way for a month

thank you The Herta for carrying me through difficulty 6 of DU lmao

got Swarm as the final boss, so i had 3 AoE attacks to chip toughness bar with.

[fiery geyser]

that’s the best boss you could’ve gotten lol

[humble citrus]

i know, right?

though what really made the run was the preservation weighted curio

the one that sacrifices HP to keep shield

[rocky palm]

yeah, it's really good

8 -> 52 tickets in 2 days

wait

one day

[reef elm]

you use them or nah

[rocky palm]

nah

saving for aglaea

e1s1, her lc enables a unique interaction with Sunday and her e1 is mega broken

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

||with her lc you can get 2x sunday's speed, which lets her act twice before being advanced by sunday and the cycle repeating||

||and then her e1 which is insane nutso bonkers cause she can get like 60 energy per turn||

[lilac spire]

are you an aglaea simp cuz its almost spells algae which fish like to eat

[reef elm]

ima go for herta lc

[robust inlet]

they try to make everyone hot (except children (sometimes)) its a hoyo game

[rocky palm]

that second set of paranthesis...

actually

i saw the tribbie comments

nev mind

[robust inlet]

im just saying

some of those characters are too young for how they are designed

like i think fischl is supposed to be 16

[rocky palm]

tbh that's a big thing in anime too

[robust inlet]

yeah

[rocky palm]

you see hot anime girl and the context of the show is that she's a 14 year old 💀

[robust inlet]

as much as people would defend it with "but the age of consent is lower in japan" or stupid stuff like that, its so weird and shouldnt be a thing

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

i don't even think it is anymore

didn't they raise it a couple years ago

holy fuck

age of consent was 13, raised to 16 in 2023

[robust inlet]

yeah its not

[rocky palm]

💀 💀 💀

[robust inlet]

its a bad argument no matter what

[robust inlet]

i think thats nationwide and the different provinces or whatever all have it as 18

so no matter where you go its 18 anyways

[rocky palm]

[robust inlet]

i dont actually know ift hats right

ive heard it somewhere tho

i just dont wanna go research the age of consent in japan

[rocky palm]

fair fair

[robust inlet]

not the best look on your search history imo

[rocky palm]

y'all ready to hear something absolutely insane

3.0 > penacony

[reef elm]

Erm

2.0 was peak

[rocky palm]

i don't disagree with that

the first half of 3.0 is p good

but the second half

is so crazy good

[shrewd plinth]

I already hate the new abyss...

[fiery geyser]

Putting the Suanni up there and then the cryo wayob on the same half is so mean

and the papilla brought some friends

[shrewd plinth]

Yup...

[fiery geyser]

Also this is the first time they’re adding specific buffs on each half

[shrewd plinth]

It's the first time since version 1.4 apparently

[fiery geyser]

I forgot the order but one is broken if you’re a pyro NA and the other is broken if you’re a natlan dps

[fiery geyser]

💀

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, 75% Pyro DMG on the 1st side and 75% Nightsoul DMG on the 2nd side

[reef elm]

Oho

So I might be able to do this

If I get past floor 11

[shrewd plinth]

Floor 11's not too bad, though there's a couple annoying chambers

Like 2 Mimiflora on the first side of chamber 2, and two of the big water guys on the 2nd side of chamber 3

[reef elm]

I’ve met aglaea

Banger ost

[reef elm]

Ohhhh thanks for reminding me I can use her in this mode

[rocky palm]

got to try herta in the story

she seems like she has crazy energy problems if you aren't consistently killing enemies

although her kit seems to enable that p damn well

[reef elm]

We boiling cheese with this one

[shrewd plinth]

This is...Not a great start...

Man, not having Kinich or Chasca in these past couple Abyss' has been really annoying

Here's hoping either Iansan or Varesa are good at dealing with Papilla shields, because I'm kinda screwed if not

[west meteor]

https://vxreddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/1i2gxw2/side_global_announces_collaboration_with/

[shrewd plinth]

They've previously worked with a bunch of big-name titles in the past like Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy 16 and the Witcher 3

[plain bluff]

simply consistently kill enemies

[shrewd plinth]

So it looks like they're in good hands

[fiery geyser]

[reef elm]

Sweet

[rocky palm]

against all odds, you can get e6 RMC in a single patch

boss's theme is a banger too

[fiery geyser]

Damn, can’t use Nilou this abyss either

[shrewd plinth]

It's Nilover

[fiery geyser]

Actually, the top might be possible

[reef elm]

Wonder if they would add Kafka to standard banner

[fiery geyser]

Ok yeah, nvm

Can’t kill the suanni with enough time for the other side

Finally done

was able to use Wrio for the top side surprisingly

Can’t tell if this one is worse than the last one tbh

[muted tundra]

Feh CYL is coming up, wonder if I should vote to ruin the games' meta for the coming June

[mortal osprey]

How it feels to skip Therta for aglaea

[mortal osprey]

It's no coincidence that 90% of the time the good animes are the ones not set in high school/with a mostly adult cast lol

Weird obsession with high school/schoolers in that industry

[humble citrus]

children yearn for Male B!Byleth to powercreep every 2024 CYL unit

[rocky palm]

Tbh tho

Big Herta doesn't interest me very much

She's not funny like little herta but they still tried to make her goofy

Imo the end result is a bit confusing identity wise

If I didn't have Acheron I probably would've been more tempted bc of emanator status though

ALSO

She messes up the rating pistol emanator theory

Can't tell if it's a joke by the devs or an outright dismissal of the theory

[crisp birch]

Average hoyoverse theory

[mortal osprey]

The what

[rocky palm]

It's a curio in herta space station

It gives your current character a score of some variety when you inspect it

There are around 4-5 characters that are pronounced "unscorable" however, and those characters have all been theorized to be emanators

The list rn is something like Acheron, Sampo (hence people saying 5* Sampo), Feixiao, JY, Luocha, March 7

So we've got 3 confirmed emanators with Acheron, JY, Feixiao

But Herta messes it up bc the pistol says "4" for her, and then changes the score to rating invalid like the others (out of fear for itself ig)

So not sure if it's a joke by devs or they're deconfirming the theory or what

[mortal osprey]

I see

[rocky palm]

Personally I will continue coping for 5* Sampo

My goat will get his day eventually

[mortal osprey]

true

has he randomly shown up in amphoreus yet

[rocky palm]

I haven't seen him yet

I would be extremely surprised if he did

Amphoreus is not a place you can just get to, even if you're a masked fool/sampo

If he did it should definitely be a red flag for the AE that "hey, this silly guy ain't just a silly guy"

I'd like to believe he's an ally though, as opposed to Sparkle's more antagonistic/neutral party or Giovanni's true neutral

Around 65-70 pity

[shrewd plinth]

Nice!

[reef elm]

I think I’ll build her before I do abyss

[shrewd plinth]

Sounds like a solid idea, she'll definitely help out against the Papilla on the 2nd side

And on the first side as well, against the Suanni

[fiery geyser]

She can also stun the cryo witch

[shrewd plinth]

Oh yeah, that too!

[reef elm]

Should I use arle or mavuika against the hydro guys

[shrewd plinth]

The ones on floor 11?
Either should work well enough, I'd go with whichever one that's better built

[reef elm]

Honestly I hope citlali makes that floor a breeze

Her shield will be useful

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, problem is that the Hydro guys get stronger if you Freeze them so you've gotta be careful of that

[reef elm]

Oh…

I keep forgetting to farm this set

Hope it gets a strongbox soon

[shrewd plinth]

It likely will when the next set of artifacts is released, so either in 5.4 or 5.5

[shrewd plinth]

Yup

That is great to know, no wonder it was a pain to kill sometimes

[fiery geyser]

Yeah, the local legend versions will stay in that form forever until they die (where they look more like a humanoid than the blob)

[reef elm]

Oh my

With freeze you can control when it gets enhanced though

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, but ideally you'd kill it before that happens

Also, if your team relies on Freeze then it's useless after it becomes enhanced since it becomes immune to freeze afterward

[reef elm]

Would be cool if melt or freeze ended it

But alas

[shrewd plinth]

Gameplay wise, it's like if you crossed Factorio/Satisfactory with (insert open world RPG here), then added a bit of Xenoblade-like combat on top for good measure

At least those are the most common comparisons I've seen, though the first closed beta test literally just went live yesterday so not many details are known

[reef elm]

Apparently the pity system is kinda bad

[shrewd plinth]

I've not seen much about the gacha system, but since it's the beta it's still possible for it to change

oh wait for sparkle

but i have sunday and i will be taking it so

AND ALMOST 3

it took all of my effort and like 6 long nights just to get one miyabi

[rocky palm]

alrighty

73 tickies

that's up 65 since tuesday

i've got 40 pity in lc banner

guarantee for character

e1s1 aglaea is obtainable

but it will require luck

if i lose on lc banner i may krill myself

[reef elm]

But also same

[rocky palm]

you going for aglaea too?

[wicked gazelle]

why not for both

[rocky palm]

also true

idk how but even with sunday being slow i keep getting him too fast just by throwing relics on him

had to swap to def boots on one of my other builds 😭

[reef elm]

The herta lc

[robust inlet]

i cant believe you guys actually go for weapons

[reef elm]

12% cr is pretty nice

[robust inlet]

not as nice as a new 5 star

[rocky palm]

i go for the ones that significantly help energy/ult rotations most of the time

[robust inlet]

but you could use those pulls for a new character

[rocky palm]

i've accidentally pulled 3-4 lc's though lol

[robust inlet]

im sure the thing is just that we have enitrely different goals with the game

[rocky palm]

i could use them for a new char, but i prefer having strong versions of the ones i like :3

[robust inlet]

i dont care about building characters at ALL, i just want more new characters

i might as well be playing pokemon with how i just want to collect them all

[rocky palm]

lol

fair enough

[robust inlet]

but then theres specific characters that i dont want at all and other characters that i really want

[rocky palm]

i don't get v interested in a good deal of the characters

so i just skip

and then have enough for lc stuff

or i get them cause they really benefit one of my teams

like Fugue

[wicked gazelle]

i am 6 speed away from 162 speed on sparkle

[rocky palm]

as a character i don't particularly "like" her (don't hate her, but we don't really know that much about her)

but she's busted for boot, and i said why not to her e1

which ended up being insanely good for me cause i got fugue e1 into yanqing in the same 10 pull

[rocky palm]

could sacrifice sacerdos for double speed set

[wicked gazelle]

...

im using double speed set

[robust inlet]

i hate yanqing and i refuse to use him

[rocky palm]

oh i don't mean i'll use yanqing

but it got me the guarantee for aglaea

[robust inlet]

i see

same thing happened to me in zenless

i lost the 50/50 before yanagi so i had a guaranteed yanagi

[rocky palm]

oof

[robust inlet]

the oof part is that my miyabi was not guaranteed

and i lost the first 50/50 so i had to grind a lot to try and get her

[rocky palm]

i need y'all to finish the story asap

i need to talk about it with someone 😭

[lilac spire]

theres plenty of fish in the sea to talk to

[reef elm]

I’ll probably have it fonished by tomorrow

Wish I know my works wifi password so I could play it there lol

[mortal osprey]

1 guarantee, 2 lucky

[reef elm]

I’m hoping I win 4 50/60 in zzz second half

For qingyi and Evelyn

Gonna guarantee those two tho

[rocky palm]

also also

i forgot to mention this earlier

i'm specifically going for aglaea's lc cause a) there aren't really any remembrance lc's yet and b) hers has a very unique effect

[humble citrus]

I won 2 50/50's back to back and that's how i got E2 acheron. anything's possible.

[mortal osprey]

oh?

[rocky palm]

the effect is ||it increases her base speed||

||which makes all speed % bonuses, like sacerdos and hackerspace, more effective||

her e1 is significantly better though so i'll be going for that first

[mortal osprey]

Oooh that's strong

[rocky palm]

With it she can ||reach 280 speed lol||

[fiery geyser]

||with her e1, right?||

[reef elm]
