well yeah i did interpolate it 💀
i wanna uncap but i dont feel like getting exploded by ac
ok after refamiliarising myself with this my conclusions are
you are probably right about this specific comp
clearly the answer
but ardelia is too sp demanding
you know
because I am an ake user in the slot
Is there an optimal rotation for this team? I do a 4 stack breach followed by a 4 stack crush, It might be better if there is already equipment
so who knows
ake imo is better with ultimate energy start
but her buffs are objectively worse
if you're killing so fast the damage doesn't matter though then

but as standard you're just gated by combo cd/sp recovery
yeah
that sus gain is huuuuuge though
plus being able to use her sig for arts dmg taken which should be a diff modifier
granted thermite is broki
and frontiers too
useless for monument stew meeting akekuri is like giga premium on sp
but the fact her link buff doesn't apply to lae is just doom
you get to do literally whatever you want sp wise
nah trust the process itll be good 🗣️
something like 3 ults in a minute
it's literally just carried by thermite
I got a 75s tri with charge
cause I can see that function well with p4 because of the ult energy diff
ardelia fraud unit gg
but akekuri only gives SP on stagger node
and the actual stagger itself without ult
her ult is 100 (god bless cbt2)
110s without
120
so you're still taking long to build up to her if you start from 0
I couldnt get below 2 mins with ard no charge start
and my marble time is liek 20s better with ake 0 energy too
like maybe it's just pot diff but I think this is so much better
but yeah, that's a lot of ult energy to build
when starting from 0
even if you bskill only on her for stacks
but Ive sold antal ake wulf to a lot of friends
with marble ake does very though that's for sure
its uh
I think ardelia is better but you need to have good execution/timing on your route
like I guess my perspective is cooked but it has results for p0 too
like the one I had showcased earlier
for marble the extra stagger nodes do make ake more competitive
and tide/ake startup is unbelievably good
triaggelos is a pain in the ass, ake actually does crazy good for phase 2
even with 0 energy start
and about 400 int
that doesnt sound right
I think the ceiling is way higher too
because ardelia plays by really strict timings
the most you can do is let corrosion tick
yeah
and ake uptime on thermite is actually insane
I mean it's free
in some fights
unless you're taking ages to stagger
I think it's way better
or the enemy has no stagger node
atp you alt f4 by default
I think this unit is getting shelved SO fast
hm I feel speedrunning with a properly optimised ardelia rotation is wild simply because of the raw damage she pumps
proper optimised speedrunning
is going to be ange lmao
sorry
GILBERTA
for fuck's sake

I need to lab her more
so I can't comment honestly
her buff values seem honestly really middling
5s only is doomed
but she's way easier to work around
also very cute so w/e I'll make an excuse to run her
she prints ults its hilarious
the 43% arts dmg increase
for whole team
and actually good personal damage
was very promising back then as well
if got a boss that like
had more HP
and didnt either die instantly to maxed out chars
or fuck off to a phase transition
36%
with correct timeline
you can get double qte in
and two satcks of phys debuff
and then another 40 or some shit from weapon isnt it
though it's not a big difference either way
the bigger is the 43.4% from weapon
that lasts 15s
if the bosses didnt instantly die to one enhanced skill she would have a spot there
so dmg dealt multi instead of taken or sus
40 p5 bleh
then 5.6% per enemy lifted
basically 25
the description is misleading
so 1 stack for bosses but giga loaded on aoe
the text is misleading in chinese too
lovely
like no ardelia but antal there?
if the enemies already have a stack of phys debuff
it will count as 0

idk if it is fixed
bruh
because "lift" and "lift that gets turned into stack" are different entities internally
the fuck are we playing a pmoon game
I HOPE it's fixed
anyway
oh yes the uptime is fantastic
50% ult gain on weapon alone
the ult being short is a shame but even so
90 cost
man that waepon is crazy
just fuckin send it atp
there was a cursed
if she can like
80 ult energy
ult x2 per burst rotation
double ult in 20s timeline
it'd be pretty nuts
gilb sig
for max pot ange
delivery guaranteed
oh
it fits into det unit, thermite, stanza, all of that
wait, Laevatein P1 1.2x battle skill is a multiplier, not an additive +20% to the skill damage right?
her personal damage there is legitimately crazy
i got my weapon currency ready for it
yeah
so it scales with everything
atk, dmg%, etc.
my beloved
so that means more battle skill pieces benefit it extra hard then?
Are you guys talking about Gilberta?
yeah
yeah but in a deranged speedrunning context
it does ye, but I haven't done the math on pieces it does make x2 hot work pyrometer very competitive
ok lol
tbh I've seen people talking about
even in general use gilb seems pretty solid
dont use this unit in single target boss if you dont know exactly what youre doing
cursed gilberta dmg builds
the grouping is just so fuckin nice
yeah you stacked stat
she used 2x slab
because primary is right
and you go to the moon with atk buffs
with buffs and food she could get almost 10k atk stat

why lynx set gotta be a fuckin healer set 
it's excellent unit for almost everything you will do in this game
cool now fund me
endfield is amazing for content 
it'll be sub dps ofc
i finally got to fucking around with her since im not in poverty mode from maxing out laev
but like
anyone is main dps with ginseng
high uptime xiranite if you build for it
snd yeah shes fantastic
dude arclight damage is fucking 0
outside of alesh meme team

BUT alesh in electric can trim all 3 bosses now
so you know
maybe it's not so bad
support slave gilb build is xira gloves tide chest right
I've seen it pegged as pretty high for mono elec team
idk about others
i hope to god gilbs banner has thermite as an offrate
i want pots on it
ok whel
same
dude imagine det and thermite on that shit
only banner rn that has thermite is what
oooh I would be bouncing on it

ardelia's weapon?
im legit gonna p5 her weapon if true
so I wouldn't be surprised if they put it in gil's
bruh
I think last rite's has it?
this fucking whel
idr
yea
but i lowkey am not pulling on that shit
go become 5+5 rite player
hell no

det unit is there
well has det unit
but yeah det unit is there
nvm i think its uhh
so
lifeng?
xdddddd
nobody else has it
go pull
fun thing is that
trust
that's the one that has both btw
fuck thats a good ass lineup
maybe the play is to just not pull pog sig anymore
it IS
ardelia makes me want to throw up though
it's actually being bodied by both thermite AND fortmaker
nty
tru
is it actually
i got pog sig
or just in general value better
pog sig on pog is really strong no?
but thermite is way more flex
akekuri, arclight
nothing is set in stone yet but sig is looking worse and worse
its phy dmg dealt i wouldnt doubt it
the only reason is that it has less buff for the team
his personal dmg becomes nothing
in current optimised phys
damage dealt isnt that saturated in phys is it
35% teamwide at max stacks
it's less than 10%
I've seen people building him with dmg instead of frontiers
with mathematically correct set
both dmg and frontiers are mathematically incorrect
hes legit just a qte bot in tricked out phys afaik
nah hes intensity breach gaming now
he is intensity bot
nah like a day ago
is that why phys is the mines
but I only got around to doing the maths earlier
no no it's very good
the damage is incredible
even in cbt2 im pretty sure most people gave up on him
damn
we just have to assign pog to vuln application slave
still do
I wont go into the details but basically
how many more sets do we need to go through till pog has done them all?
yea
crit pog next??
TRUE
die
is there a tldr of the Slab vs Tide debate? i see people saying its technically 2% better at endgame with everything maxed but i also see sentiment that Tide is just better at all points
we worked out charge thresholds and timelines so that every phys team member can ult at the same point during the rotation
pog > yvonne you heard it here first folks
whats the complete team?
basiclaly, we can always give 2/3 of the damaging ults in the team Link from lifeng
we give up till umbral drops then die from cringe because we just use antal akekuri wulfgard there anyway
with max intensity(no artifice) pog eating the stacks applies like a 48% vuln
so those big damaging hits are being multiplied by 1.48, then multiplied by 1.2
and it is infinitely better than using them on dogshit crush or whatever
id do math but the scaling makes 0 sense
lifeng gets better by the day
is all I can say
everything would fall apart without him
just use hot work tide fall
and he can even apply xiranite here which
oohhh my goodness
holy shit
fortmaker lets pog run alternative gear sets because of its charge rate, and it also has intensity on it
and is looking very promising
Paper Pin for Tide vs LYNX:
- LYNX is always more damage even with x2 Battle Skill in an Ultimate, and a fair bit more if only x1.
- Tide is always more damage unless you have max Trust and etched Essences.
- On Ardelia team, Tide does not meaningfully change your rotation, so LYNX is objectively the better pick for single target enemies (e.g. Rhod).
- On other teams (e.g. Akekuri) Tide can allow for earlier Ultimate cycling, which makes it more competitive and has it potentially pull out ahead.
- Depending on the fight (e.g. Triaggelos, Marble Aggelo) where you can transition between phases with more SP, Tide Fall can meaningfully condense rotations to the point it can play better, but you do need to route around it.
- Tide is more comfortable and recommended for most players, LYNX is more suitable for Ardelia comp speedruns.
- For Umbral, which is likely to be AoE, Tide is predicted to outperform due to the higher count of Battle Skills and Ultimate Thresholds on multiple enemies, but if it has tanky single enemies, then Ardelia LYNX would pull out ahead.
All in all it's flex. Swap the pieces depending on content.
even if it is not better it is an amazing f2p option
and is better than p0 6*
it rotates through the shop and stuff, too, so you can guaranteed get it max dupe eventually
lifeng is still on sig right
realistically they will announce tangtang in 2 or 3 weeks and it might all go down the shitter LMAO
watch her be fucking nature
if tangtang is phys
i swear to god
cant wait for everything to go out the window when we play antal akekuri umbral
yea i have a feeling that these units are gonna be outshined REALLY quickly
lifeng is on sig but valiant is still quite good
ok
chen and whos 4th
it would be top 1 unit
Umbral tide is almost certain to be better tbh
cause it'll be AoE city
tangtang is physical on vibes alone
da pan for actual efficiency
what weapon
endmin if youre already overkilling
they could always swap her
x2000000 bskills per ult 
alright still the same setup as i remember
fortmaker iirc
but id expect the feixiao at home and/or sankta man are cryo
just testing out gear sets huh
but yeah intensity breach
is looking like the way to go currently
it is absolutely nefarious
i see, thanks that makes it really easy to understand
and you have to run some weird gear to facilitate it
aethertech da pan is real, gentlemen
sure, we need electric dps
fuck me i guess
nice website
ikr
are we getting livestreams for future patches
there's something very cursed about aethertech da pan that I cant quite name
it doesnt feel right
charge set is optimal for some fights
and 100% optimal for daily stuff
it's definitely good
how it will hold up over time hard to say
victory royale
ok 176 intensity with charge gloves
ok i do wanna try out this comp
so like uh
idk fuckin effect scaling
208
fk that's so far
so I cant
unless youre whel with p4
Which you know I am
then 75 or something and go heat gloves
76.5
77
3 stew meeting charge set laev can ult like 3 times in a minute

it's damaging to the game environment
banned out of umbral
dont farm 1000 slug meat per day? not allowed to play the game
since no tacticals

is stew the fuckin
I guess
20% ult energy
bruh
yes it's unbelievable
i didnt pay attention but im pretty sure
Does it even noticibly change 1 cycle?
also
just leave ult with 4 stacks
this dumb fuck
oh

does this trigger as soon as you enter a fight
FOUR LAEVATEIN ULTIMATES IN A MINUTE
it has 4 use upgrade as well iirc
oh does it
I really
how much atk% does main stat give again
don't want to try and route speedruns around tacticals man 
infinite tactical mats when
0.5% per stat
thx boss
0.2% for secondary
hi yes
bruh
might as well afk it while i do some work
HE grenade turrets my beloved
hub works
most normal umbral clear
4 waves of slug
just fucking ult% food
speedrunning entry bar: 1000x stew meeting in inventory

i would laugh so much
was umbral no tacticals?
yeah
on comsumption activate the units ultimate
god I want to press it so bad
ult gain +300%, ultimate ability is activated randomly
im 60 gel off my last tap
for laev essence
or 50
2 runs or 1 double run
either way

THIOS IS THE CORRECT ONEW RIGHT SHOULD I USE ALL MY GOLDFEN TO MAX IT UP
how do i get more golden even what should i farm for to get emb as side product
Wut
if you have thermite cutter you can farm for its essence
ic
starry essence probably a decent one too
so exxcept that should i use all golden ones hopefully they dont match someone in future
planning around stuff not in the game is just a headache but double check there's nothing good for genericly good weapons and fodder the rest
or fodder it all
what should be great once like what stats i shouldnt scrap
You can prefarm gilb sig if youre going for it and it lines up
surely there is a document in english
But that's it
i dont have therm because im a dumbass
does frontiers gear effect mean any skill will work?
Wut
Doc probably not
fk it I could do it it would take like 15 minutes
8000 Youtube videos yes
so i should just fodder em
only reason i said sheet is so you can have a drop down box to sort
makes it easier to find
what’s the best antal weapon? i been running obj but idk
link
Last rite signature worth it?
its pretty good if you like last rite
should be a fair bit ahead than any of her other options
dont even touch her w/o it 
the calcs I've seen for it
sites like prydwen are similar with her sig at 100% and 80% on prince
Which one for alderia sig essence and thermal essencee
I mean which domain
Is there a way to check drops talent
it's a lot worse than 20% loss
with buffs up
it's like almost 40% sometimes
it's really, really bad
Akekuri is 10% damage loss over ardelia its so over 😔
How does akekuri p3 even work tho isnt ult like 2 seconds
12 slug meat, 6 energized aggagrit, 6 citrome powder, 7 fillet, 1 ginseng, 6 citromix, 6 buckflower powder, 3 amethyst bottles
cost per run for speedrunning laev hyper
expensive

for ardelia which weapons are good? can ı just use stanza for a while
8 ginseng 4 meat, 1 meat 1 buckflower powder 1 powdered grass seed
1 energized aggagrit 1 pungent jerky 1 reed eye if ginseng is overkill
We have spreadsheeters now?
have for a while
Chem of Endfield where
pp alluvium is such a fraud btw
You can use stanza on her until you get her sig for sure
question, is this setup right for the most mats? (this is the best chars i have atm)
or do i have to change smth
Does anyone know a better version of Ascension Planner? Perlicamoe, endfieldgg, and endfieldtoolsdev are all not counting correctly.
as long as everyone there has corresponding boosts for the cabins yep
theres no standouts you should be having in dijiang 24/7 like mlynar or proviso in og ak
We don't need cr cd here on chars?
but i see on the control nexus they give mood regen, right?
but since everyone is at full, wont that buff just get wasted once theyre tired? (since the control nexus ones will be tired too)
crit dmg is practically nonexistent
it is not worth building into crit for anybody rn except yvonne
It's intentional or a messed up thing
intentional

the regen offsets their consumption per hour
they will stay longer
Btw any updates on lae best gear which worked best at maxed level
ohh, so theres no issue at all staying like that?
hot work + tide fall remains the best gesr for laev unless you're speedrunning
no
alr, thanks!
dijiang is quite a ways smarter than riic in ak
it will automatically cycle out tired ops
It does takes insane amount of exp from 80-90 to level up char

they wont be replaced by a ready op but they will automatically go back to working when their mood is high again
you can micromanage it but imho its not worth the effort
ik, but i was just wondering if the mood regen on the control nexus buff wont get wasted since all of them would've been tired by the same time
oh fairs
afaict the nexus just does not have any inefficiencies like that
it will globally apply the mood regen so it's always applying to your ops whether they're resting or working
i c i c, thanks
tf is that supposed to mean
press v
eh
Type 50 or pulser gloves for avywenna? I feel like the -100 attack might be worth the elec damage
go to non-set
miner a gear pack?
ok here
for takeaway version
I think this is good enough no? do we really need an online document or something people can sort on
uhh so i craft everything i see
mmmm
why is this in #theorycrafting
okai dun
i have no idea
they ignore me ;-;
not an excuse
yeah
Anyone?
when we get more rss then can move to document 
hmm
lmao
yeah i have a 50/50 in the chamber for gilb p1
if i whiff her as long as its not p6 laev im chill
actually
i wouldnt hate p6 laev
Bro
just need another 6* max dupe to pick a perm sig
Isn't P2 Gilberta just a physical bot
Doesn't only physical apply vulnerability
or am I dumb
Wait a damn minute
combo combo ult(x2)
I think shes cute
But uh
LR main
and I already changed my pfp to finally LR art, so im less tempted.
Bro istg if Gilberta turns out to be trash after 2 patches
gilb p2 in phys sounds funny af though
it applies vuln as if the enemy had 1 more
the ult doesnt apply extra stack
though it would be awesome if it did
Oh right
still 3 vuln in a non-sp consuming cycle is kinda nutty
wonder if phys will want to do anything with that
it's not "Why is it only 5 seconds" it should be "No wonder it's 5 seconds"
resourceless 48% vuln
hilarious shit
💔
you can do it in open world smile
hey its still most of the content tbf
gonna have to interact with it whether you like it or not
might as well be able to do it comfier
killing overworld mobs way ebtter does indeed improve player experience significantly
Id care more for it if enemies actually dropped mats that were required for building
it's more than 90% of the game
But in this game, you can essentially always ignore mobs
Cause they drop nothing of value
oh dude if you want to make good food you have to kill hella mobs
I'm no food user
meat is in insanely high demand
lab grown meat WHERE
i did testing and osp is shit
Can u bring food buffs into endgame
Wait, we dont have endgame
you can take it into crisis
smile
Hmm
just eat it before you go in
no more tactical in hardmode now
Ill think about it when it matters
(it wont make much difference)
For now im chillin
wtf
yeah ig its not a big deal
but still 💔
unironically a yvonne nerf LOL
she likes crit food sm
Food wheelchaired
L O L
Its kinda crazy how easily you can max potential characters in this game. Especially with the dupe not resetting.
i get like 2 per run on alluvium 
the dupe doesnt reset?
im just ziplining fuck that
Nah, I got Laev on a 10 pull where the dupe happened, and still got the dupe extra.
yvonne shrivelling into a pile of dust as ginseng soup is taken away from her
Yeah, 240
Yes
OH
THATS WHAT YOU MEANT
You can get 4 Laevs before the 240, and still get the 240.
okay yeah i was like "so i can get a gilb token for free???"
Sundered Prince for Last Rite or Thermite fot Pog and Ake
the token lmao
i didnt realize you meant. the token doesnt reset the guarantee lol
thermite
Yea no that shit doesnt proceed to the next banner
thermite is the better choice
Thermite has more general value. Youre gonna end up going to pull for LR sig anyway, cause Sundered is like 20-30% worse than sig.
Also Last Rite the only one using Sundered rn.
yea get lr sig asap if you plan to play her
da pan can use it but it sucks
sundered is a huge handicap
I have no regrets giving sundered prince to my ember lol
true
I hard pitied LAeva sig unfortunately so my Arsenal situation is sad asf
True, but like youre gonna end up with Excalibur sooner than later
Which is his BiS rn
i feel u
somehow i still dont have p5 fortmaker
i have p5 of like 80% of 5* weaps now
I dont think I have any but ill check again
Bruh I need to get into factory for gold gear, but I refuse to copy blueprints, headache material.
me with blue gear
how many pulls have you done
Same twin
cant afford Khravenger 💔 need to save everything til Fangyi
Fangyi lowkey overrated


I have like 100 pulls now
potential woman in 1.1 trust
fangyi overrated mid ass unit purely because i cant afford to pull for her
i am so fucking scared bruh
tangtang mifu fangyi is a stacked lineup
no skips 💔
yuri duo and not!shu 💔
essence chart is now pinned in #help and #team-build so you can now say look at pins for that too
if you guys are ever in there for whatever accursed reason
I like it here, its nice and cozy
skipping Tangtang unfortunately, hope shes 5*
Thanks for the hard work opal and everyone involved
help gives me epileptic seizures
oh I did nothing
I just clicked pin
Its okay
working class hero
Your presence counts for 80% of the work
waiting for #general-guides-archive to open so every single question ever conceived can be solved by telling people to learn how to search
this is true
These other channels feel like being thrown in a lion's pit
Full of savages causing chaos
Respectfully
pin it here too pls
every time i say ill make a general faq resource i know immediately after it will become useless as such a forum is innundated with repeat information
yea
Fangyi and Rossi 2 my most wanted rn
Tbf the people here will see more use out of it than the other channels
is there a reason i cant see pins here
oh
i swear to god opal pinned ianas sheet
what gear do i get for last rite?
Yeah, in #team-build
OH
When will we have Chem of Endfield
I just dont like pinning same thing in 3 channels
wuwa spreadsheeter
it'd be easier to have it pinned here but if we're pinning stuff might as well pin 1 doc that has links to every resource
surely I can just swap Avywenna with Fangyi since shes 6* electric dps trust no need Mi Fu 
its a pretty tedious undertaking ig
I do think there are advantages to just having the image you can yoink though
yeah people tend toward the path of least resistance or w/e
ask a question get gestured to pins look at pins see google docs links and just close discord and do something else
i assumed if we were gonna include it we'd just upload the image to a third party hosting site
then people can download
looking back at the cutscene mi fu could also be fire
yeah
graphic design is my passion
maybe not imgur because im Br*tish and vpn'ing is annoying for something like that
das crazy
anything but phys plsette, we have like 3 6* Phys already lmfao
save the 6* main dps for later
I wonder how good is P5 ENdmin eventually
I could care less about the potentials, mostly curious to see if hell get other elements.
which laev spread
morbikas
Thought I was big brain for a second, thinking you could get 5 stacks of vuln with Berta
oh wait
But potential specifies max 4 stacks. L.
ugh yeah idk would have to ask
yep
well theyre not done with it yet either
tbf
i dont think its quite that useful to share given how hard it is to parse the info it gives you
i was gonna eventually categorize
does anybody know anyone who's got access to game assets
like images
for icons and shit
ig theyre on talos wiki huh
talos wiki should
I was going to use the nice transparent images from ingame rips at one point
but then I decided it wasnt worth the trouble
good-quality images will just lag mobile devices anyway
"guys I cant find this gear in my list"
given that people ask where to find gold gear then send a screenshot with the gear in it
im not sure it matters much
do i link prydwen
hm
do it to be nice
what abt interactive map
I used endfieldtools tbh
need to grab that one yeah
great interactive map imo
I never used that lmao
