Gacha hell

[plain bluff]

it's clear that her best team hasn't been found yet

or, if it has, then it needs more testing

[rocky palm]

yeah

One of my early impressions is that they should redistribute some of the damage from the dragon to her attacks

seems faintly like aglaea situation, or maybe even acheron, where she's going to be doing very little damage outside of ult. tough to say exactly how hard it is to stay in ult though

[plain bluff]

yeah

on that note, her animations are amazing

they did a great job

[rocky palm]

part of that might be the new boss mechanics though, it seems to have crazy damage reduction that scales weirdly

[rocky palm]

fr

new boss also looks amazing

[plain bluff]

yep

[rocky palm]

literally elden ring

[plain bluff]

which I still need to play...

but yeah

[rocky palm]

[plain bluff]

I wonder if Tribbie will end up being meta

I've seen teams like Castorice/RMC/Tribbie/Lingsha being thrown around

as her "best" setup

but we'll see

[rocky palm]

Someone was saying Gallagher actually does more healing than Lingsha so he should be better than her, even if he's not the BiS?

I don't actually know how much healing Lingsha gives though and how it compares to Gallagher

Anaxa seems quite good

[plain bluff]

does Gallagher really do more healing than Lingsha?

that seems wrong

[rocky palm]

As a hypercarry anyways

[plain bluff]

yeah

[rocky palm]

I feel like as a support he's kind of mid, except maybe for Therta

I haven't watched her showcases yet

[fiery geyser]

I think so BUT it’s highly dependent on if the team can constantly make use of besotted

[plain bluff]

I see

interesting

Tribbie stocks go up

then

[fiery geyser]

[plain bluff]

since she's really good at taking advantage of it

Sunday not attacking during his skill is such a shame

well, he has no reason to attack at all

which does feel like a bit of a downside

these days

[fiery geyser]

yeah, tribbie basically gives herself full regen with gally

[rocky palm]

basically frequent attackers/aoe attackers -> gallagher does more healing
infrequent -> single target attackers -> lingsha does more healing

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

lingsha also probably wins out in situations where enemies with besotted die quickly

[fiery geyser]

yeah

[plain bluff]

got it

that's interesting

[rocky palm]

whoever decided besotted should heal x amount per enemy hit was a benevolent idol

Tribbie seems built as the Robin side/upgrade for Castorice, and works decently as an energy battery for Therta

Her e1 is a real gamechanger but not worth the investment for me probably, so i do think i'm skipping

anaxa doesn't look great for me either rn so probably skipping the entirety of the next two patches lel

they let him keep weakness implant but got rid of the standard nihility support stuff

[plain bluff]

even Castorice?

[rocky palm]

Yeah

She's super cool looking, don't get me wrong

But I've already got Sunday with Aglaea

And Phainon is coming up soon

Assuming they don't completely fuck him over for being male I expect him to be really really cool

e3 aglaea secured with 22 minutes to go lmao

[fiery geyser]

Really?

[rocky palm]

yeah

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

i'm not very intelligent

[fiery geyser]

give them NOW

[rocky palm]

the gambling gremlin says "you have tickets, USE THEM"

and i, the innocent and illiterate fibsh, say "okay"

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

unless i was committing enigmata...

[fiery geyser]

is this another enigmata trick

[rocky palm]

[fiery geyser]

[rocky palm]

the DDD is real though

I had twenty tickets and decided to just build pity and try to get them

Since I'll doubtlessly be going for Phainon's lc too

I forgot to mention this but I got 6 4*'s in one ten pull yesterday in zenless 💀

[plain bluff]

back foul beast

[plain bluff]

can I have 1 DDD

[rocky palm]

ehrm

yes

you just have to implement trading lc's in hsr's backend

i'm going to wait to superimpose them for now

since technically two DDD's is more AA than one s5

Apparently there is a tab for global passives being added...

If they do this then in a year we're genuinely going to have characters with passives like "when entering MoC, immediately clear the first side with 0-cycle" lmao

[wicked gazelle]

Blade is finally back in t0 as a support

[plain bluff]

this game...

hoyo can sell even more units than ever before

[rocky palm]

on another note, they really need to allow some lc's to bridge paths if they're going to insist on every remembrance character being X path but limited to remembrance lc's

[plain bluff]

this might also be how they buff old chars

[rocky palm]

so essentially only their sig works

[rocky palm]

please no...

[wicked gazelle]

Tribbie is unfortunately cas's bis harmony currently, but I'm pretty confident you can run double harmony + sustain

[rocky palm]

Sunday might actually affect her performance more

Not 100% clear atm

The dragon getting an immediate turn is super important though because of how slow castorice is and how limited her damage is compared to dragon

Dragon has a speed of 140 I think?

Which isn't awful but isn't good

[wicked gazelle]

I think sunday is the better buffer for sure, but tribbie + luocha/lingsha/gallagoat can mean more consistent dragon uptime

Yep 140

[rocky palm]

Kind of an arbitrary value

[wicked gazelle]

There are some crazy people trying to speed tune e2 bronya with it

[rocky palm]

hahahahaha

insane people

now that i've had some time to look at her

[wicked gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-willem-dafoe-duh-duhh-obviously-gif-16794513

[rocky palm]

a) best animations in the game
b) very unique style and hp meta will be interesting, but
c) I think hp meta is going to be like DoT and generally miserable if you don't have an HP meta character
d) her kit is still really unusual. Not in a bad way, though I'm not a fan of it personally

at least HP meta can better enable you to run sustainless

Somewhat ironically, HP meta characters are the only ones that aren't going to be able to run sustainless lol

the boss also having crazy animations + flamereaver animations gives me hope that they're putting a lot more effort into that

and it's not just a bump for anni

[wicked gazelle]

Flamereaver?

[fiery geyser]

The scythe guy

[wicked gazelle]

Gotcha gotcha

[fiery geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/star-rail-flame-reaver-gif-8794227245964486171

I personally run Lycaon Soukaku Miyabi

[toxic rain]

The difference Astra Yao makes is over kill tbh 💀

I ain’t even know why I got her ass

[crisp birch]

Yeah

I really do not like her atm

[rocky palm]

[crisp birch]

She reminds me of Robin in hsr

[rocky palm]

wait what

[rocky palm]

THAT SHOULD BE A GOOD THING

[crisp birch]

Massive overbearing support that just overshadows everyone else by miles and miles

[rocky palm]

ah

[crisp birch]

As a unit

Not as a character

[rocky palm]

i understand that then

[crisp birch]

I love just about everybody’s character in zzz

Astra is very fun as a character

[rocky palm]

she's evelyn's BiS right?

[crisp birch]

I’d assume

[rocky palm]

[reef elm]

[crisp birch]

I’ve found my problem with Evelyn

[rocky palm]

i think I want Rina on my team with Burnice and Lucy eventually (probably also a tiktok team but stop saying it i know i'm bad)

[crisp birch]

After talking with a friend about characters

It’s the texture

On her pants

[rocky palm]

her pants?

[crisp birch]

Yes

[rocky palm]

what do you dislike about it

[reef elm]

Very shiny

[crisp birch]

Skin tight latex pants make no sense for a professional stoic spy/assassin character

[rocky palm]

assassin characters always wear form fitting clothes

[crisp birch]

Yea but her top is a dress shirt and a tie

[rocky palm]

part of it is definitely hoyo just doing sex appeal tho

[crisp birch]

It’s not like she’s in a catwomen-esque bodysuit

[rocky palm]

i would assume the justification is because the majority of her attacks are with her legs

[crisp birch]

I just feel like if it wasn’t shiny latex looking it wouldn’t be a problem

[rocky palm]

having floaty pants would a) be hard to animate and b) look stranger

oh so it's literally just the texture

i can see what you're saying ig

[crisp birch]

Like Zhu Yuan and Cammy in sf6 both were tight pants bc they kick a lot

But they’re not wearing shiny ass latex

[rocky palm]

don't necessarily find it strange though. people would probably be calling her design rather plain if not for the unique texture

cause then she'd just be wearing office clothes

[crisp birch]

Fair ig

Still don’t like it

It’s not horrendously horrible tho

Never was

Just peeve inducing

[rocky palm]

We don't agree with each other, therefore we must fight to the death now

Good thing I am a mod so I will just ban you and win

the best system in mtg

[rocky palm]

going to make a really minor complaint

why tf do the goat puzzles give you purple relics

are the devs really so broke that they can't afford to give gold ones

[humble citrus]

can't be giving too many relic scraps now can we /s.

[humble citrus]

imo it's a leftover design philosophy thing from when you're starting the game and gold relics are hard to find bc you haven't ascended your level yet.

I remember when my Zhu yuan team used to be able to get 1-2 stars in deadly assault

The good old days

[crisp birch]

?

They still do

3 stars

[reef elm]

I think I can get one star when I get better at qingyi her charged attack seems useless against the butcher

[crisp birch]

I got 30K with Qingyi Nicole Zhu

[reef elm]

Oh I did get one star

I think I barely got it

[crisp birch]

Before I used Anby I just recently got Qingyi and she never got below 20k

[reef elm]

I can never find a good dps window against him

[crisp birch]

?

Stun him

[reef elm]

Thinking I need to end my assist chains with Nicole to get more bubble

[crisp birch]

Yeah chain attack should end with support to quick assist into dps

[reef elm]

This is part a skill issue part me complaining about deadly assault getting harder

[crisp birch]

I usually start the chain attack Nicole bubble into Zhu chain

But yeah you should be clearing easily with zhu’s team

[reef elm]

😭

[crisp birch]

Unless your characters are just malnourished or something

[reef elm]

Nicole and Zhu yuan are pretty much fully built qingyi… needs more Dennie’s

I’m still Caesar pilled

[crisp birch]

Ah

Her dodge and ex chain right back into her n3

So you should be dodging a lot and using ex after a charged attack

[reef elm]

For qingyi?

[crisp birch]

Yes

[reef elm]

I see

I attempted to do the spammy attack and that was 1/3 of her health gone

Probably gonna try again tonight see how it goes

[crisp birch]

Yeah that’s her n3, her third normal

Dodging while doing that allows you to go back into that

Once the meter is full you do the charge attack

Ex back into n3

[reef elm]

Oh you can dodge in that

[crisp birch]

Yes

I think even if anaxa is great for Acheron I still won’t pull

I don’t need another husvando on her team

[fiery geyser]

Yeah you do

[rocky palm]

https://youtu.be/D3o_Bsh5N2Y?si=nXRkxTumZQgLmZcv

His stack generation is great... but that's about it

His personal damage is low bc there isn't a harmony unit in the team

He doesn't provide amazing support to Acheron either, since this is his "dps" mode (single erudition)

As such, I think I want to write him off as "okay" unless he gets more debuffs/amplification in the next versions

[reef elm]

Yay

[wicked gazelle]

Can you do sustainless e2s1

Or does another harmony outpace him

[rocky palm]

No idea

Tribbie and Robin together will certainly outpace him, but they're the two most broken characters in the game rn as far as buffs go

Tribbie can supply a single stack with her ult

An AA like sunday can probably beat out Anaxa as well bc it's comparable stack gain and easy sp + damage

[plain bluff]

Anaxa seems like a fun hypercarry

I hope he survives the beta

definitely not all that great for THerta though

[rocky palm]

Yeah he's in a really weird spot

[wicked gazelle]

Thoughts on tribbe for acheron feesh?

[rocky palm]

His entire kit is geared towards being a dps

including his eidolons

[plain bluff]

honestly

I really like it

I hope they keep him like this

don't make him like JQ

[rocky palm]

But then with 2 erudition he's an incredibly mid support

lmao

[plain bluff]

because JQ depends on Acheron

without her

he's bad

[rocky palm]

yeah but that should've been avoided

sadly the devs are idiots

[plain bluff]

exactly

I hope Anaxa doesn't go down that path

because he's super interesting

rn

all he needs is some buffs

for multi-erudition

[wicked gazelle]

E1 jq is really good no?

[rocky palm]

it doesn't seem like they ever intended him to be a support for therta

[plain bluff]

yeah, for acheron

[rocky palm]

changing him to erudition at all seems really stupid

[plain bluff]

I think they want to replace serval

on her team

but yeah

he's definitely not good enough

rn

for that

[rocky palm]

Base JQ is only usable with Acheron really (and somewhat in comps that want vulnerability) but his usefullness vastly increases with his eidolons, for all teams

[plain bluff]

idk

[rocky palm]

e6 JQ is probably the best support in the game with little room for argument

[plain bluff]

but that's e6

[rocky palm]

yeah

[plain bluff]

JQ

at most levels of investment

[wicked gazelle]

I mean

[plain bluff]

is only really good for Acheron

and decent for other teams

[wicked gazelle]

That's only 7 pulls

[rocky palm]

Very strong

[plain bluff]

Anaxa is kind of the opposite

where he's really good as a hypercarry

but only decent

for multi-erudition teams

[rocky palm]

I'm getting results that are around 75% of what e2 Robin gives

[wicked gazelle]

fine ill pull for her

[rocky palm]

With e0s0 tribbie

you don't have to

[plain bluff]

if you're going for castorice

[rocky palm]

Robin is fine

[plain bluff]

you should consider it

is all I'll say

[wicked gazelle]

Shes bis for cas too

[plain bluff]

but that doesn't mean you should

[rocky palm]

But e1 Tribbie is the real meat and potatoes

[plain bluff]

or shouldn't

E0 is fine for cas tbh

[rocky palm]

e1 Tribbie will be way better for Acheron than she is for Castorice if you pursue that investment

[plain bluff]

E1 is definitely better

but E0 does what cas needs

[rocky palm]

Also also, sig is not needed at all

[wicked gazelle]

Sig is really good though

[rocky palm]

Sig increases Tribbie personal damage, the energy is more or less unimportant

[plain bluff]

e1 is better

it's like Robin

[rocky palm]

I haven't had any ult uptime issues with Acheron and s0

[wicked gazelle]

Lowkey considering it for bronya

[plain bluff]

go for Sunday's cone

or something

then

you can get Sunday in the process

not for tribbie

[rocky palm]

Yeah, getting Tribbie lc for Bronya is not something I would advise personally

[plain bluff]

for bronya

[rocky palm]

But if you want it then you can still go for it by all means

[plain bluff]

but you should get sunday and throw bronya in the trash

[wicked gazelle]

But e4 bronya feesh

[rocky palm]

As an investment of stellar jades it doesn't seem the most useful

[rocky palm]

don't make me do the gif

[plain bluff]

E0S1 Sunday >>>>> E6S5 Bronya

[rocky palm]

e4 bronya is still worse than literally any of the harmony units rn (except sparkle )

I don't know if this is true, but I'd like to believe it is

it probably is

[wicked gazelle]

Nuh uh Ruan mei

[plain bluff]

Ruan Mei is fine

just irrelevant for the current meta

she seems okay with Anaxa

there was an interesting break setup for him

using her

[rocky palm]

If you want to make Acheron stronger but don't want to get Tribbie, get JQ lc
If you want to get Castorice BiS team, get Tribbie e0s0
If you want to get Castorice and also make Acheron stronger, get Tribbie e0s0/e1s0

[wicked gazelle]

[rocky palm]

That's about how I'd sum it up

[wicked gazelle]

Feesh

I need jq first

[rocky palm]

oh

umm

https://tenor.com/view/cat-smacking-other-cat-cat-cat-smack-cat-swat-gif-10347810988835752163

[plain bluff]

just get Tribbie if you want cas

she's a general-purpose harmony

[rocky palm]

why did you not pull him in the first place

[plain bluff]

and she probably won't be bad

[rocky palm]

idiot zyx

[plain bluff]

for a while

but if you dislike her

for some reason

then you don't have to pull

[wicked gazelle]

Saving for um

[rocky palm]

imo she's the second coming of robin

[wicked gazelle]

Oh

Lmao jade

[plain bluff]

agreed

especially at E1

[rocky palm]

she does everything robin does

[wicked gazelle]

Fuck me right

[rocky palm]

but better in aoe

[rocky palm]

the only character hoyo hates more than boothill

[wicked gazelle]

Worst trade in the history of trades maybe ever

[rocky palm]

damn

[wicked gazelle]

She makes blade um

Less dogshit

[plain bluff]

the community doesn't seem to like her either

[plain bluff]

cas

[rocky palm]

it's actually an interesting case for her

they made a support for a dps that didn't exist yet

but now they have no incentive to create the dps

[wicked gazelle]

At e1 she's really good for FX

[rocky palm]

so jade is just sitting there like

[plain bluff]

Anaxa could be that dps

[rocky palm]

fuck you want me to do?

[plain bluff]

if he was any good

with multiple eruditions

[rocky palm]

yeah

[wicked gazelle]

And fine for therta

[plain bluff]

they did what they did for topaz

[rocky palm]

they should give him better multipliers imo

[plain bluff]

she was super mediocre

until Ratio

and then became busted

with Feixiao

[rocky palm]

Or double down on the whole dual-kit thing and make all of his stuff have two effects, depending on the team comp

[plain bluff]

honestly

this would be interesting

it'd give him a lot of depth

[wicked gazelle]

Huge cope without luocha imo

[rocky palm]

shrimply get hyacine

[plain bluff]

gallagher + tribbie should be fine

[rocky palm]

give all your money to evil hoyo

speaking of which, if this global passive nonsense goes live

idk what i'm gonna do lol

[wicked gazelle]

Ill pull for tribbe, lose the 50/50 and guarantee cas

Ez

[plain bluff]

that's what I did

[rocky palm]

but you're going for anaxa now?

provided his beta goes well

[plain bluff]

yeah

[wicked gazelle]

Whooo

Peak

[plain bluff]

as of right now

on beta 1

he seems more interesting than cas

I like cas' animations a lot

but her kit just seems really boring

[wicked gazelle]

Feesh please devil dog react seri

[plain bluff]

and she's too reliant on a specific set of teammates

almost all of whom

are new 5*s

given that I don't really spend money on this game, going for her would just be a waste

I wouldn't be able to use her effectively

anyways

that's my reasoning

[wicked gazelle]

🙂 you have luocha

[plain bluff]

Luocha is going to get replaced very soon

is all I'll say

[rocky palm]

mwahahaha

[plain bluff]

he might not even be her bis

tbh

imo gallagher is just as good

[rocky palm]

zyx's words have only condemned him to be demon dog'd

[plain bluff]

especially with tribbie

[wicked gazelle]

Its on record

Feesh has been bent to my will

Soon he will be broken

[rocky palm]

i'm doing a social experiment rn with the video i'm uploading

[rocky palm]

bro i put it on you 😭

[wicked gazelle]

but you still did it

[rocky palm]

[wicked gazelle]

Step 1

Would you kindly and all that

[rocky palm]

step 2

ban zyx

[wicked gazelle]

And free me from my mod prison

[rocky palm]

anyways, if you're for sure going for castorice then wait until her v3

before you decide to get tribbie or not

if you want tribbie to make acheron stronger then you can go for her rn anyways, if you want tribbie to make your account stronger then go for her rn anyways as well

because of therta we will be in erudition meta hell for the next 4-5 patches probably

[wicked gazelle]

that's the plan, but i know I'll lose the 50/50

[rocky palm]

my poor booty boy

[rocky palm]

shrimply lose the 50/50 on someone else first 4head

[wicked gazelle]

single target will be back on the menu in 3.2

Trust

[rocky palm]

[plain bluff]

wait

[rocky palm]

Castorice is AoE and Anaxa is erudition...

[plain bluff]

you're conclave again?

[rocky palm]

I asked grayson to give me the role to do something, can't remember what

it has no bearing on my actual responsibilities, i will never do mod work again

[wicked gazelle]

he raided mod chat

[plain bluff]

got it

[rocky palm]

that does sound like something i would do

[plain bluff]

just noticed it when I saw your roles

now ban me

[rocky palm]

okay

timeout for 60s

[plain bluff]

[rocky palm]

actujally i will not do that

[plain bluff]

you deleted my message

[rocky palm]

but i will delete your message that was mocking me

[plain bluff]

prepare to be banned

[rocky palm]

in fibsh hell...

no one can hear you scream

[plain bluff]

I'm sentencing you to failing pity

[rocky palm]

[plain bluff]

every time you roll on a banner

[rocky palm]

wait

not

that's mega evil

Alright, the social experiment is seeing if an all-caps title gets more views

[plain bluff]

you need to add a bunch of tags

in the description

as well

[rocky palm]

ah fuck

is that the real meta?

[plain bluff]

a bunch of youtubers do it

so I think it's good

[rocky palm]

tags added 🫡

[wicked gazelle]

Tags good

Add a few red arrows to thumbnail

[rocky palm]

too much effort

[wicked gazelle]

I will assist when I am home from magic

[rocky palm]

[wicked gazelle]

Wait feesh

Wats the speed strat with tribbie

[rocky palm]

i'm going 0 speed

to make use of poet

some people are saying fast tribbie better if you're using her with ddd

[wicked gazelle]

I ment for acheron

[rocky palm]

oh

there's no link at all

[wicked gazelle]

It doesn't matter?

[rocky palm]

nope

[wicked gazelle]

You do 0 or 134?

[rocky palm]

all of tribbie's buffs are independent

[reef elm]

https://tenor.com/view/oopie-goopie-tribbie-hsr-tribbie-gif-6192431445115986513

[rocky palm]

afaik yeah

the majority of her energy comes from her trace though

so 134 doesn't realllly seem that useful imo

[wicked gazelle]

I think we're talking past each other

What speed should acheron be with tribbie support

[rocky palm]

oh

I'm keeping my Acheron on speed boots forever tbh

I find the second turn to be useful

[wicked gazelle]

:grief:

[rocky palm]

I also don't have any attack boots rn so

I accidentally recycled the only semi-decent pair I had

[wicked gazelle]

I can't maintain 90% cr and be at 134+ speed rn

Sparkle stays for now

[rocky palm]

even with a cr chest?

[wicked gazelle]

Then I go below 200 cd

[rocky palm]

ah

the age old problem

[wicked gazelle]

Yeah...

No sunday mo problems

[rocky palm]

man, tribbie is way too happy throwing rockets at people

Does this look like the face of a well-adjusted individual?

[wicked gazelle]

....

fuck

[rocky palm]

High or low pity?

[wicked gazelle]

High

60~

But i won the 50/50 so I'm no longer guaranteed cas

Farming time

And blade BiS

[rocky palm]

You weren't guaranteed her before either

Don't think in negatives

Be happy and be positive and be joyful

Tri-be!

[wicked gazelle]

i was because i was at effective 180 pulls

Tribee!

[reef elm]

Thribee

[reef elm]

Simply win 50/50

[fiery geyser]

I couldn’t

[rocky palm]

This is in reference to Anaxa in Acheron teams, for those interested

[wicked gazelle]

I feel like that's not unreasonable

E2s1 does not mean you automatically deal 200k per ultimate

[rocky palm]

I'm going to assume that was meant to say 2m

It's not unreasonable, but Anaxa's personal damage suffers a lot bc he gets no buffers

And Acheron's personal damage, while mitigated by higher ult frequency, also suffers

[wicked gazelle]

for sure

I'm actually gonna go check what mine does with no harmony unit

It's quite appealing ngl

The difference between pre-first ult and post-first ult is crazy

[reef elm]

Yeah I’m very tempted since I’ve got the top up bonus

[shrewd plinth]

So, I'm still trying to get a good on-set Sands or Goblet for my Arlecchino, but I got this flower so that's cool

[crisp birch]

Fire af

[shrewd plinth]

The feather I have on her is 43.6 CV as well

So she's kinda stacked, aside from the last piece

[fiery geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/i-like-that-its-mine-now-gif-11859471

it’s amazing when the subs go into CR

[shrewd plinth]

[rocky palm]

I gambled hard and got Tribbie e1

I am so close to getting a 0-cycle with sustain

This eidolon is so dumb

[rocky palm]

I got it lmao

[wicked gazelle]

[rocky palm]

Wish this showed the teams, you guys will just have to trust that I did it

It's actually bananas though

I deliberately target characters that don't have crimson knot sometimes, so that the ult doesn't kill and I can get an extra turn at the end of a cycle, but Tribbie turns it from a 300k ult to 1.4 million with the final hit

[wicked gazelle]

Tribbie acheron jq and?

[rocky palm]

Aven

[wicked gazelle]

Nice

Who was side 2?

[rocky palm]

Aglaea Sunday Robin Bronya

Aglaea's sustainless teams are so stupid strong

[wicked gazelle]

Bronya sweep 🥳

You have e2?

[rocky palm]

I got jumpscared by her e2 on standard banner a short while ago

Was hoping for a lc but

[wicked gazelle]

Yeeap seems pretty good for algae

[rocky palm]

Haven't done any speed tuning with it atm so it's pretty wacky nonsense atm

[rocky palm]

Bronya actually never uses her skill on Aglaea lol

You use Bronya to advance Sunday

Then Sunday advances Aglaea AND Garment

[wicked gazelle]

You Sunday to get stocks

Yeah i figured

[rocky palm]

It did give me a really crazy speed tuning today though so I'll do a recording of that later

[wicked gazelle]

But Sunday is 134+ right so the e2 is still nice

[rocky palm]

I've got Sunday at 160 rn

I could theoretically drop him back down to 134, which would let me easily use him with Acheron again

[wicked gazelle]

200 speed sunday

I might lowkey pickup e4 and try her with 200+ fx

[rocky palm]

everytime you say fx i think of fu lmao

can't believe you like bronya so much smh smh

[wicked gazelle]

Shes good

Trust

[rocky palm]

I'm super biased against her bc of using her with Boot

Who is already a skill point goblin

[wicked gazelle]

Just get a second Sunday lc

[rocky palm]

this was before sunday or his lc

Boothill truly the hardest and most unloved character in the game

[wicked gazelle]

So real

[rocky palm]

Why does hoyo hate my mans

[wicked gazelle]

They kinda hate all men

[rocky palm]

based?

i mean uhh not based

(it's very frustrating tbh)

[wicked gazelle]

I mean atleast Anaxa looks good

Aven is good

JY is not bad anymore

Sunday is great

[rocky palm]

Gallagher

[wicked gazelle]

Gallagoat

[rocky palm]

Wish his eidolons were better

[wicked gazelle]

They musta fucked up somewhere with him

[rocky palm]

People say "oh his e1 is crazy" but it's really not

it comes out to like a 8% damage increase on memomaster or something

[wicked gazelle]

No way a 4star should be that good in a hoyo game

[rocky palm]

Obviously insane for Castorice though, since her summon does all the damage

[rocky palm]

bennett:

[wicked gazelle]

And everyone says Bennet is a mistake

The worst thing about Bennet is that you can't have 2 bennets

Circle impact

[rocky palm]

Bennett does seem like a mistake from what i hear about him lmao

But Gallagher is mostly just a great character, not necessarily broken imo

[reef elm]

||Soon||

[rocky palm]

He does his job well and also is one of the most sp positive characters in the game

Anyways though

If Hoyo somehow makes Phainon mid

Or powercreeps him

I will be insanely pissed

[wicked gazelle]

I haven't been in the meta trenches of genshin for a while. But bennet was just the best support. He was a harmony unit that healed you and buffed you and was stupid easy to build

[rocky palm]

But I'm betting that he's going to be uber strong given that it's literally the first playable iteration of Kevin

[rocky palm]

I believe he still is

[wicked gazelle]

They'll make him as good as welt

I thought he kinda fell off with mauvika wanting nightsoul stuff

[reef elm]

Bennett fell off a bit in Fontaine when the strongest dps was neuvilette who cared about hp but then arle and mavuika released and he’s meta again

[rocky palm]

That's quite bad...

[wicked gazelle]

No no he's really good

[rocky palm]

Honestly think Welt could potentially be the 2nd worst standard char

[rocky palm]

me when i lie on the internet

[wicked gazelle]

Who's number 1

[rocky palm]

Yanqing

For sure

His kit doesn't work in the current stage of the game

Not that it ever worked tbh

[wicked gazelle]

Welt worse than bailu?

[reef elm]

Bailu gotta be second worse

[rocky palm]

Bailu at least has some gimmicks and is an actual sustain

Welt is in this awkward gray area between sustain, dps, debuffer

[wicked gazelle]

Shes also rumored to be good into cas

[rocky palm]

And doesn't do any of them very well without crazy good investment

[rocky palm]

those rumors were dethroned sadly lmao

[wicked gazelle]

Its big cope

Yeah

[rocky palm]

someone did a showcase with every healer and bailu was the worst iirc

(natasha was not included)

[wicked gazelle]

:grief:

But she's an hp scaler

[rocky palm]

doesn't matter

Gallagher Luocha and Lingsha all provide more constant and steady healing

The way they fucked up with Gallagher was giving him a flat healing stat ngl

[wicked gazelle]

Oh it's so dumb

[rocky palm]

When i first saw that he had a flat stat I knew he was going to be broken as shit

Not to mention that he's basically immortal with his signature, and it's not even his best option

[wicked gazelle]

3* is even good on him

[rocky palm]

I never liked using multiplication v much bc of how much stronger the other options are

QPQ with Gallagher is such an insane synergy

[wicked gazelle]

I don't have 160+ yet

(I'm also running 4pc sac)

[rocky palm]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-smacking-other-cat-cat-cat-smack-cat-swat-gif-10347810988835752163

you fell for the sacerdos gallagher bait...

[wicked gazelle]

Ill have you know i built that before it was popularized

Its not good

[rocky palm]

SO IT WAS YOU THAT DOOMED A THOUSAND INNOCENT PLAYERS

evil zyx... i should've known

there are no good people in this server

only evil

[wicked gazelle]

Mmm

Cd Gallagher

would you recommend qpq on acheron/cas teams

[rocky palm]

see, this is an issue with QPQ

It triggers on character's with 0 meter bc the devs are stupid

So using it on Acheron/Castorice teams is technically worse than all other teams bc there's always a chance for Acheron to steal the energy

However, it's still really good

and is also used in Acheron's best team comp at all eidolons so

well, formerly best team comp

[wicked gazelle]

Another 500 gems to thr moc store

Bailus lc isn't good right

I'm not crazy

[rocky palm]

I don't think so

I certainly would not buy it

[wicked gazelle]

No i just have it

[rocky palm]

Ah

[wicked gazelle]

Stupid standard banner

[rocky palm]

It might be serviceable for some teams then

Sustain lc's tend to be the least important

[wicked gazelle]

I habe it on lynx blade rn

[rocky palm]

Though with how few sustains we get that's a bit of an inconclusive statement

[wicked gazelle]

I think they really messed up with sustains tbh

The good ones are too good

[reef elm]

https://youtu.be/wn8VChoFl4k?si=adjxSyqinAkaZmgO

There we go

[rocky palm]

I think they made Aven too strong

Lingsha is kind of just there outside of break teams, where she really excels

Gallagher has better healing than her (this is what people online say) so he tends to be more universal

He also has attack decrease for enemies which to the best of my knowledge Lingsha does not have

[wicked gazelle]

Aven is definitely too good

I've never died with him on my team even when he was bugged

But even Gallagher it's really hard for people to die

[rocky palm]

The only places I've died with him are in DU and SU lol

[wicked gazelle]

They have to get really really unlucky and get like perma targeted by 2 elites

[rocky palm]

Tbh all they need to do against him is make a boss with really strong single target

However, that would be bad for all sustains besides Fu

so

[wicked gazelle]

Exactly

[rocky palm]

I'll be interested to see what Hyacine does

She's guaranteed to have a memosprite based on the new planar set

[wicked gazelle]

And the new herta lc seems to be good for her

So she might be skill intensive

She might be abundance with memosprite on ult

[reef elm]

I don’t think the game likes you

[toxic rain]

Facts

Ever since hsr

Imagine if I actually won my 50/50s my account would be stacked

But nope lost everything

I’m not really in that much despair though since I can clear everything unlike hsr or else I’d quit

[reef elm]

I finally full cleared shiyu again

[humble citrus]

Which supports are better for aglaea; robin/RMC or robin/Bronya?

[reef elm]

Almost entirely maxed

[rocky palm]

Order is
Sunday
Tribbie
Robin (Worse than Tribbie bc about equal additional damage but Aglaea's attack stat is already bloated)
RMC (Budget replacement for Tribbie/Robin, very strong performance still)
Bronya (Should usually be used alongside Sunday as a means of advancing Sunday to re-advance Aglaea and Garment)

I would not recommend doing Robin Bronya, Bronya's advance and buffs by herself are not remarkable for Aglaea

Robin RMC is really strong bc you can use RMC to advance Robin, Robin enters concerto, then Robin additional damage does true damage as well

And after you have Robin in ult you can use the next one on Aglaea

Sunday is the best in slot by a mile though

I don't know what the performance difference actually comes out to but his QoL on top of everything else he does is insane

[wicked gazelle]

Feesh

Who do i pull

[lilac spire]

not your back

[rocky palm]

V3 Castorice is going to be the determining factor

Can't tell you rn BUT

Given how you've repeatedly invested in Acheron this far, I would strongly advise going for him e0s0

The upgrade he provides Acheron is absolutely the biggest improvement in the game rn I think

[wicked gazelle]

Tribbie is bis slot there too ig huh

[rocky palm]

Only at e1

E0 Tribbie does not outperform Robin for Acheron

Nor Sunday afaik

[reef elm]

For Jq Should go for e1 or lc

[fiery geyser]

specifically Acheron, I think LC gives a bigger boost + easier to hit his EHR requirements

for general use, e1

[reef elm]

Cool

[rocky palm]

Yeah his lc is better utility wise

His e1 is almost as strong though which is why it's really hard to choose between them

I don't think I've ever seen such a divide between e1 and s1

Going for lc also saves you pity on char banner

Whichever dev decided he needed to have the lowest base chance of inflicting a debuff was evil I think

[fiery geyser]

[humble citrus]

i wondered if that was an actual synergy. good to know

[fiery geyser]

true damage is pretty neat in that it works on anything

even DoT (but i don't think running RMC with DoT is recommended often)

[humble citrus]

omw to do BS/Kafka/RMC team (DOT will come back i swear)

[fiery geyser]

[humble citrus]

but wouldn't i want to use mem on aglaea though?

[fiery geyser]

robin’s boosted damage will make up for not RMC’ing aglaea

and ideally, you could still use Mem on aglaea later on in the rotation

[rocky palm]

Not really, but it nonetheless boosts Robin's damage AND gets her into ult faster

For Robin's damage, +24% is like an additional 5000 damage per attack

Closer to +36% ig

For Aglaea, it's 500k + .36 *500k = 680k

So 180k increase

[rocky palm]

With Aglaea e1 it becomes far more worthwhile bc you can recharge Mem extremely quickly

It might not be as viable for e0 Aglaea

To put it in perspective, e0 Aglaea gets 30 energy per eBasic

3 points for Mem

Garment gives 1 point

E1 Aglaea gives 9 points per eBasic, and Garment gives 3

So with e1, Mem's uptime becomes 3x as frequent

[humble citrus]

I guess the robin uptime is worth it.

man, now idk who to pull for.

I want E6 acheron, but i also want sunday for aglaea

and eventually aglaea cons
