who knew that the best way to become strong in the Ark is to be an idol
I'm mixed on the fact that collab characters are kinda underpowered in this game
like I get the obvious part that they don't want to make super duper units truly limited but it sucks that most of them are luxury pulls
and once in a while you'll get a Raven
rocky palm
I prefer it tbh because I'm honestly not a fan of collabs in Nikke
I play the game for the story so when there's a collab event that doesn't contribute to that I really don't care that much about it if at all. I pull in them still, but if there were no more collabs I wouldn't mind at all
I do think that having them as totally limited banners is silly though. There should be a permanent abnormal banner or something equivalent
muted tundra
I mean it can't really happen besides Stellar Blade units
which are SU's property from what I know

The stories of the Nier and SB collabs are pretty good though.
I liked SB a lot cause it was in the Nikke universe. I can't say I remember the Nier collab very much
But SB felt less like a collab and more like a real Nikke event
foggy vortex
They've been using some of their own side quest characters to integrate the crossovers just a little bit more into their world and they've done it really well for the SB event.

In summary Gatekeeper creates hollow clones of Raptures and Product 12s to fight each other forever and a few have become self aware and ruminate on this. Like the SB event the Rival character solves the actual problem while protagonists are busy sorting out something else.

I doubt it, but i don't even remember official communication about fate part 2 being announced so 🤷
rocky palm
Apparently the upgrades are not like divine keys
Something else called augment cores, which is moreso similar to what RMC got
wicked gazelle
Saw Some leaks for the fate collab that say ||rin is a teammate for archer and gilgamesh is a teammate for saber||
I kinda doubt it though
rocky palm
it says that they have stuff like ||Cyrene ode to worlds, where buffs are dependent on who's in the team||
wicked gazelle
Not a huge fan of that design tbh
latent blade
Rin being || a teammate for Archer sounds fine to me, Master and Servant and all that jazz, but Gilgamesh being a teammate for Saber? I honestly doubt that from both a thematic stand point and a potential design standpoint ||

speaking of nihilux; ||she’s getting two forms?? one of which will be free?||
rocky palm
hope it's fake
It sounds like it's a wording issue bc of how it works
Augmented cores work by powering up using in-game materials
Which might be all that was meant when they said it cost something
Cause they never actually said it costs money
latent blade
I feel like if it was gonna cost money it'd be some sort of open world combat QoL or it'd cost jades and actually do something beyond animation changes.
Either way, it looks to be a bit of a ways out (Not 4.4 but sometime before the calendar year ends) so very much STC and we can only wait and see.
But 4.4 info should be around when 4.3 goes live right?
humble citrus

I'll have to skip blade
Reminder that she'll be around for minimum of two patches

the problem is that both Blade and Himeko are peak

More likely that the banner lists until mid 5.X

the problem is that both Blade and Himeko are peak
True
I want the cosmetic
I think I'll have to skip Himeno

I'll probably get E0 Blade and try to go for e0s1 himeko
or whatever her best investment ends up being
rocky palm
Even if I skip blade I don't think she's a good choice for me

probably s1 since free erudition lcs are trash

rocky palm
Leaker today tried selling nihilux as mdps
But it just makes no sense
Elation dps at end of 5.X, making the 5th elation dps, and leaving only one support and one sustain for all of them together
Two supports if you count Sparxie as one as well
But I just have no faith in it
plain bluff
time will tell...
I think it'd be pretty weird
but hoyo could do it
is she even confirmed to be an elation unit
rocky palm
If she's not I'll be shocked
She's obviously extremely tied to elation
It's like if Cyrene was abundance
plain bluff
It's like if Cyrene was abundance
it'd be kind of funny if she was
but yeah
there is a chance she's nihility and the true main dps for blade
but that's a long-shot
plain bluff
I thought aven was for ashveil
rocky palm
If he ends up as elation sustain it'll be shocking
rocky palm
I thought aven was for ashveil
Aven Blade Ashveil are all supposed to be a team together
Allegedly
plain bluff
ashveil has pretty poor synergy with blade now
aventurine would have to do some heavy lifting
blade's universal buffs are good but he doesn't really buff fuas anymore
rocky palm
Aven is most likely an elation version of Fei if I had to guess
Converts fuas into punchline and uses them for damage
rocky palm
He'll probably offer fua utility if that ends up being true, but can't really say until 4.4 beta
rocky palm
I think tribbie might be better than blade for ashveil
Blade Ashveil Aven still needs a 4th teammate...

New info on the augmented cores
Apparently they are essentially SPs in themselves
Completely change moves and such to the point that the characters get new animations
So the Acheron SP is likely going to be Acheron getting this augmented core
But you won't have to pull for a new character

are they listed as seperate characters in the index?

But you won't have to pull for a new character

ok so it's like cygames character uncapping
I have a better idea of it now
having both uncapping and novaflares feels weird
humble citrus
feels too good to be true
plain bluff
@rocky palm apparently Ashveil is hard-meta for Acheron?
from what I'm seeing
the current best Acheron team is something along the lines of
Acheron/Ashveil/MBlade/(Hyacine/Welt/Tribbie)
will probably use Welt personally
humble citrus
i mean fua in general if they can inflict debuffs is good
humble citrus
it's why i briefly tried out acheron/hysilens/feixiao
Tons of debuffs so fast ult charge but obviously low dmg
rocky palm
<@425312300610748426> apparently Ashveil is hard-meta for Acheron?
Yes since he attacks so much
With mblade though pretty much anyone works

so feixiao is still on the table

why not speed boots?

I want her to be as fast/act as much as possible to build acheron stacks
ashveil probably does it better but the point is to be an acheron driver alongside blade

issue is how good blade is
he replaces JQ entirely
he is literally JQ + even more stacks + way better buffs
even with a novaflare, JQ cannot contribute MORE stacks than Blade already does
because of how Acheron's talent works

yeah that’s why i’m planning to send JQ to the DoT team

he's most likely getting reworked to be DoT healer yeah

Huohuo or Dante I believe

me neither, no actual sustain issues for me atm, but I do have her on a sustain Planar and her LC, so I might be cheating a tad.
humble citrus
if JQ gets a thing that makes triggering DoT’s heal then that’d be pretty good
rocky palm
it's really nice for refining YG and EMC ult rotations
cause sometimes they can be just barely off without it
humble citrus
otherwise idk how a dot sustain would work
rocky palm
what speed do you have her at
154
plain bluff
oh nice
rocky palm
i have her on the hyacine set which also gives a cd buff to eva
rocky palm
if JQ gets a thing that makes triggering DoT’s heal then that’d be pretty good
this is an old DU blessing that's omega broken
or wait
it's in the scepter domain
it's really really good
i would be a fan if they gave that to him
latent blade
I use Huo2's LC because it gives her more ER, and Warrior Goddess + Rapt Tree (Hyacine Planar to clarify), lets my Huo2 hit 160+ SPD and have decent healing for her dogshit mashed together relics
humble citrus
if i get it i put JQ on the team instead of dante
rocky palm
if JQ turns into DoT sustain I may actually get Kafka and build a dot team
humble citrus
do you have hysilens
rocky palm
One leaker said he would still be a general amplifier but I think that's a lie cause there's no way a rando would know that
no i do not, i'd have to get her
rocky palm
yeah
humble citrus
you could skip kafka theoretically
rocky palm
but cyrene is already pretty spread between my teams
i'd still rather get kafka
also
humble citrus
fair
rocky palm
it's crazy that i've been clearing as well as i have with aglaea
i haven't been watching other character showcases in a while
but man, she is just so much worse than the other amphoreus characters even at eidolon levels
running her with a sustain is so rough for her damage output
humble citrus
even with dante ?
rocky palm
dante is the best option but it still doesn't compare to just running a third support
a reliable leaker said that aglaea would benefit from sunday novaflare + SP robin but again, probably fake
i think it was the uncle naruto who said nihilux was a dps
which i still don't believe
latent blade
Yeah thats weird as hell
I saw a wack leak, probably the same leaker, that just made no sense. At this point, I'm just gonna wait for legit beta kits, beyond an EMC replacement/sidegrade and an Elation sustain I'm just gonna check out on leaks.
humble citrus

how do you all feel about this MoC?
Eva killed Pom Pom first phase at 0 av
Was pretty chill
rocky palm
Killed first wave with her elation skill and entered second phase with double ult
First ult did 63%, second finished it off
latent blade
My Eva 1-cyled Pom Pom, I could absolutely do better, I just don't want to do side 1 again T-T.
plain bluff
I didn't have a good team for either side
rocky palm
Swarm Sam has 15m hp
plain bluff
just brute-forced side 1 with Cas and side 2 with Ash
I'll probably try side 1 again when Blade drops
I feel like Acheron could do really well on it
latent blade
Thats exactly what I did, I wish I had Cyrene for side 1 with my Cas team.
rocky palm
just brute-forced side 1 with Cas and side 2 with Ash
If you use EMC on side 2 you might be able to get a pretty nice clear
rocky palm
Generates punchline pretty well, but a fast basic attacker should perform about as well

lowkey my archer is bugged
97% cr
Missed crits on back to back skills
And it's like the 5th time I've missed a crit today
for the love of fate
in other news though, archer can 0-cycle Swarm Sam so that's pretty sick
Welt is truly so stupidly broken cause I went from a 2-cycle with Archer to a 0-cycle and his ult did 4m
latent blade
Moved my EMC over to Eagle and Vonwacq. Shes at 158 SPD but I should be able to get her to 160 pretty easily if I replace my really awful chest piece. She goes before Yao (Diviner + Lushaka) now but meh, I still sustained 0-cycled King with this so it can't be that bad

Moved my EMC over to Eagle and Vonwacq. Shes at 158 SPD but I should be able to ...
160 is really not that important with eagle. Next important breakpoint that lets you get 3 actions per cycle is 183
So unless you can get to that I'd say don't bother
latent blade
I still gotta replace my chest piece on EMC anyway, it has no SPD, a tiny bit of ATK%, and no Crit DMG but good to know
rocky palm
I've been swapping my EMC between eagle and diviner (despite no stacking buff) and have noticed almost no difference in my clears tbh
EMC does more personal damage with the diviner build cause I have a better crit ratio
Eagle build is not as effective as you might think though bc the ult is so costly and EMC ERR is shit
It's good to make EMC lose CB for Eva still
Not as good as I expected it to be though
Hopefully if they do buff EMC in future they'll either lower their ult cost or give them ERR traces
Cause genuinely what the hell is that ult doing costing 160
latent blade
I still built for it because of my temp build being all kinds of wack. In my case, it at least looks nicer as a build lmao.

Varka does more damage, obviously, but Venti does pretty good damage as well
Though ER is a bit more of a problem, since Venti's DPS is reliant on his Burst being up

Her damage is kinda low off-skill, but she has really good self-sustain against waves of weak enemies

Oh yeah, that stage is evil

Also all the laser drones and high DEF enemies 
Or wait, that might be LS-6
Oh yeah, that's LS-6

My team ain't build for this
shrewd plinth
Ideally you want ~2 Vangaurds with 2 block or good damage to help start the stage
Since once you defeat a few enemies, it's pretty smooth from there
shrewd plinth
I'd recommend levelling a 2 Block vanguard when you can, even if it's just Fang
Since some stages throw enemies at you immediately and don't give you time for your Flagbearers to do their thing

It's to incentivize visiting friends trains in HSR

Even against a boss with 15m hp?

Welt amp + broken Dark SAM + other amp, I think it could kill or at least come pretty damn close.
and the extra Eva bounces too

The answer

I'm optimizing some of my Eva rotations and I'm starting to get consistently 7m+ ults
Feels v nice
Realized that it's pretty okay to overcap on her energy as long as you utilize the actions to get enemies down to single target scenario

Where do you plan to use her?
toxic rain
Where do you plan to use her?
Probably on ameath and chisa or hiyuki I’ve been practicing the quick swap with chisa hiyuki
Another character using string master 🤣
latent blade
Aemeath + Chisa + Denia is most certainly her best team at s0r0 (or r1 w/ Stringmaster).
Very much so on par with Rupture Aemeath now with Denia.
latent blade
Currently Lynae (Or any Liberation DMG Buffer (Jianxin, Changli, YinLin) but Lynae by far is the best) and then Chisa or Mornye (Lynae only). If leaks turn out to be legit the team will end up as || Lucilla (Sub-DPS) and a Glacio Chafe sustain (3.5?) ||
toxic rain
I have S1 mornye so idk how much will it make her more flexible
latent blade
A whole lot more flexible.
You'd still want Lynae for Mornye with Hiyuki (Lynae's Liberation amp and she fufills a condition for Hiyuki's kit) but s1 Mornye helps her 40% DMG team buff be easier to utilize for every team you could use her in 👍

You'll end up building her anyway if you play more of IS6, and Raidian has special passives and encounters in IS6 that make her really powerful in that mode
So even if you don't use her, she's a good unit to have

i think that's specifically with both ashveil and tribbie though
it scales differently depending on teammates
but yeah massive increase
wicked gazelle
Its unlikely ill ever use ashveil unf
It honestly seems like such a bad team comp for acheron
Why not just use ashveil as his own team
rocky palm
he's a stack generator and subdps
battery for both acheron and morty
i'll think about ashveil when i see aven

Yes
I think
yeah he should
cause it's 3 stacks per ult
and then he also does more damage
and buffs both blade and acheron
