ITS TOO EARLY
i have been told there is a 2 and a half min last rite clip here anyone seen it
u get 5 from def not sry
reformatting catdespair
it lets you also write a bit more about chen / lifeng / dapan / endmin on the main page
these are the 6 stars from those collab events. ash/ela/marcille are characters from their respective media, yato is an arknights character but wearing the kirin set from monster hunter
Pot5 yato 💳
then theres a bunch of smaller crossovers that were mostly just skins for arknights characters
Ah fair then, so maybe we will get some cool collab characters in the future.
I could definitely just whip up another subpage
that might be the way go to cause
god there is so much
like this is a skin for surtr that is technically a collab skin with I.T (hong kong fashion company)
fuck me
im sure endfield will eventually do collabs
hong kong mentioned 🔥
didnt know they were a hong kong company tbh, but i saw quite a few of their stores in mainland china
I will also be leaving for china in a few days
so I hope there arent any significant developments while Im not home
copium
the only downside is that now you have to deal with people who wont read the subpage because its on a subpage
^
btw, i assume the links in the google spreadsheet need to be opened via chrome or something
there are too many people who don't know how spreadsheets work
because they dont work in firefox 
if its firefox you're having issues, it might be because its not chromium? xD
real
hello
thats somewhat accurate
I love reading
it's always been fine for me
besides the firefox offshoots
might just be something on my end then
oof
i use librewolf
i really dont know what the issue is
for example, clicking this just opens a new tab with the same page
it just does not like some people
Ive never encountered this issue before in any sheet Ive used
so when people told me about this I was flabbergasted
ye idk, it doesnt seem to work in edge either 
and i dont have chrome installed so i cant check there
the sheet just doesnt work properly have the time
doesnt work in librewolf with those links
but i assume it works on iana's side?
doesnt work on chrome either
i wonder if its a device thing rather then a web browser thing
maybe its just google permissions being a bit wonky for viewers
honestly ive considered making a subpar google doc port of all the information
so that people who cant read the sheet can read the doc
managed to 4 tap my gloves strength line using higher strength gloves as materials 
i did the ult charge on my laev build in about 30 total
oh its feb 1st
pretty happy with it
ye ive finished all the ult charge lines to the breakpoint
so im working on int lines
my redeemer seals are only at +1 int lines each 
Which boss am I supposed to face to get ATK boost + Twilight?
This one has Twilight but no ATK boost is possible.
Sorry this is more of a help question I guess.
wuling
Do we know alternative for tidefall if u don’t need tidefall yet 🥺
Or have one cycle vs 2 cycle hot works calcs 🥺🥺🥺
One day I’ll find out 🥺🥺🥹🥹🥹🥹
could not find the 150s clip :(
One cycle two cycle or p4 armor alts?
tide chest vs lynx slab
Got it cheers,
did you artifice the ult gain set too?
Hmm 🤔 I mean I’ve alr artificed hella into hot work kits /:
the thing is this makes me want to like
also write about the rotation
cause it's important to undersatnd why the gearing is th way ti is
and that is
I dont know if I want to
cause then people are gonna go oh where is rotatino for x or y
probably the people that follow random youtubers
does anyone have lae gilb rotations
Like at p4 how much of my combo would I have to miss to not get 2 cycle ult with no energy gain
there isn't a rotation as much as there is a
vague idea of how you should oneshot things
Is it tight enough where it’s worth to just run tidefall anyways
it's an open world thing mostly and you shouldnt think of it as a
rotation
as much as a set sequence to 100-0 the boss
because there isnt really a rotation to actually be done efficiently
could ask some people to coauthor rotation guides for other teams i guess
that's an idea
it's just that
god all of the problems
are just caused by physical
i was going to include some sample rotations in the faq doc i have going
so you could just take a section there too if you want rotations written
no matter what I dont think there's any way around
the elephant that must be addressed
which is the sheer mass of what we could run on pog
maybe leaving it for now and just waiting for the dust to settle
is the smartest thing to do
I'm going to colour code some stuff and try to make it a bit more heuristically readable
please tangtang end my suffering
please come out first thing next patch and get this shit over with
surely right
she should be 1st banner next patch
its just if a) shes actually phys
b) isnt a chen replacement instead
id doubt it is a chen replacement but im not here to jinx it
we need to accumulate some like
virtual karma for her
so she doesnt suddenly lose her job
i feel like rotations are something you ought not write out as a strict thing
mostly because it encourages people to be really stupid ime
like they fail to perform a rotation and the immediate conclusion is "oh this is unplayable"
yeah i would write about openers and about what each action does
ok physical also has
idk what ianas doing
really fucked up stuff in this regard
cause there are
delayed openers
re-openers
situations where cutting your rotation in half is good
situations where you WANT TO WHIFF AUTOS
physical is to blame!
it's all physical's fault!

but id do smth like "ebskill on lifeng triggers xiranite" or "you dont need to wait for 4 stacks of vuln for pog breach on mobs, you should just kill"
pointers and openers rather than writing out full rots
Work
do we have the numbers on etching chance? What are the chances for low and very low?
thirsting after my voice
LMAO?
corpse husband reconvener
it's happened on youtube it's happened on discord it's happened in video games
and as much as a video would be good at communicating things
on the neural cloud discord
I am not sure if I want to attract that same audience again
and so out of concern for my personal safety
crazy memory to dig up
you know
fair fair
time to pull out the bilibili text to speech
yeah and editing is a lot of work
I am a semi-competent editor but setting things up
and recording proper footage again
pain in the ass
it's been like 3 years
do you know
i still get requests to access the fucking pnc sheet sometimes?
I would love to have storytime but this really isnt the place
yeah it aint
Anyone know difference between rapid ascent or max dupe sundering steel on Chen?
in shatter steel is better
in premium phys uhhhh
I think ascent is slightly better with no dupe
very very small difference because ascent was nerfed going into live
Ok, so I already have a lvl 90 steel and 3/3 engraving for it by dumb luck so sticking with that
Thx
sounds like a wild ass couple stories
yeesh though
300 ult cost 255 with p4 enhanced skills are what like 76
I can’t find the #s I had ):
oh yeah what is the point of AI operators rn, like I get we can use their skills, combos and ults but what the hell else do they do
i see them schwacking other enemies but sometimes it feels like they do kiddie damage
maybe that's because I'm doing a LR team and that's why it feels that way but
y'k
Anyone knows if antal detonation weapon effect triggers in any way in Leviathan team or should i just switch to stanza. All guides say to use this weapon even in leviathan team and it makes no sense to me.
he can +1 heat infliction with combo i believe, which meets the arts burst requirement for det unit's arts susceptibility
I think it's a system that they will build on with future operators
I do see the potential there
Might be wrong too so who knows
Didnt arts inflictions need 2 of the same effects like electricity followed by electricity or does hes effect trigger of other characters arts infliction ?
I mean arts burst
After the wielder applies an Arts Burst, target enemy suffers Arts DMG taken +14.4% for 15s. Effects of the same name cannot stack.
description for detaonation weapon
its suppose to be bis weapon for him
arts burst is when you add 1 more of the same arts infliction on top of the current one
which is what his combo does
yep
from what i saw of somebody's calc snowshine has the highest stagger rate of the whole cast, 2nd being akekuri
its hard to see what buffs they got so its hard to figure it out
so if snowshine can actually put that shit to use and if she gets a couple minor buffs I would gladly put her back on my LR team again
Some guides are so off with gear recommendations its scarry sometimes had to go trough everything today and figure how everything works from ground up to fix it all.
It’s honestly a mess rn 🥲
just use
the guide in the team build pins
if you care so much to not figure it out yoself ez
I like to understand things so finally done with everything so taking my time to understand how calculations and everything works in detail
^ it is one of the better options there is just so much slop builds with no thought out there rn 😭
i mean yeah
thats kinda how it happens for any games with builds and websites existing
knowing the dogshit websites is half the battle
Is anyone trying to do calcs on hot works vs one cycle ult energy gain build rn?
Every artifice I question I’m wasting on hot works…
That's like 95% of the stuff that's out there right now lol
any reliable sources for endfield
check the pins in #team-build
in a physical team with pog, ardelia, chen, panda, is there any point in using panda skill instead of chen's? he doesn't get anything out of it afaik
Disc a bit annoying only found pieces I didn’t see much
while chen stacks both her passive and sundering
A) Da Pan usually stacks more arts intensity and hence applies more stagger
B) P5 Da Pan can apply 2 stacks of vuln once every 45s
Holy shit
Is that a Tera profile picture
if you're low invest so no arts intensity and not p5 pan then sure can probably chen skill
Bro just slapped me in the face with nostalgia
yeah, i'm p1, so i wasn't missing anything, ty
as soon as da pan has more arts intensity than chen swap over to him stacking
ok i see, so panda it is
naur
everytime i do essence stage i start feeling like why tf am i doing this i could just be farming credits or something
is all fails
😭
congrats
Lol there is neither pot option for Firebuckle and Umbraline
1.1 then hahahah
No seeds, no pot
that's why you go to wuling and get fluffed jincao
and you can get lucky and get firebuckle/umbraline from using fertilizer on buckflower and citromes
Ok then that one better cause is no rng
Thanks for the information 👌
Antal is my fave character, whats the build im replacing rite

You plant the normal one and get some rarer when harvest them.
there's something wrong with this picture
crit.. 😭
yup
sheeeesh
or instead of arc you can use ake
Why Oblivion on Antal
arclight has a weird setup
aight thanks cant wait for antal to get a skin
dps antal 🗣️
Alr
see the 200k stagger and youll want to build him too 
^^ 
200k stagger damage is nothing at endgame tbh
is there a unit here that can stagger really really fast?
But good to see youre enjoying something unique
yes but lizard gaming

LR and Perlica stagger pretty fast
lizard gaming 🗣️
could u technically make a staggerbot build for units that want stagger really fast?
true hmm
from what i hear from one dude who did some calcs before snowshine staggers the fastest
ake is 2nd fastest
accurate
snowshine in ard out make snowshine a stagger bot
i think her stagger comes from her final strike and parry
O damn
can't rly remember tho so factcheck me
i do remember she does big enough stagger that even akekuri with her faster staggers can't keep up
which is the priority to buy in wuling shop, engraving permits or artificing catalysts?
its kinda hard to hit with antal 😔
laevatain and dapan could prob hit that no problem
depends. there are some essences for weapons you can only get in wuling
basically if need essence from wuling for weapons then engraving if not catalysts
I will make a full defender team one day for staggermaxxing
good luck wit dat
clearly the 4th defender is shu

If we’re going by the state of defenders in the OG AK
yeah it is 😛
guardification of defenders 
only shu and yu are recently the only defender defenders
i have a team where i paired snowshine and ember together
wait wtf discord changed where it sources its gifs from
theres gotta be a website for these right
who tf is this
vanguards are just cheap guards who give sp
defenders are just tanky guards who dont deal as much damage
snipers are just ranged guards
casters are just magic ranged guards
medics are just anti guards
supporters are just guards with helpful bonuses
specialists are just niche guards
not yet lol, i'm also struggling with those
mines fine
what about the third member of the polycule
only m6
s1 is not useful in is5 so i didnt
however for the other two people m9 is probably good
i was going to say s1 scales better at like middlish amounts of aspd but its is5
lampge
s2 is her "main skill" although s3 sees use in some select maps
who am i to know i just play three men and i "consistently" win
that setting does in fact have 2/3 of her essence selected
i can only get engraving with lvl 3 or lvl 4 subpac?
mine still barren so i can get it to work sooner if thats the case
i dont see any proper goods in wuling

its the stock redistribution that handles what you can buy within regions
so now that i have the laevatain essence who do i try to get essence for
in her team
🤔
i need fodder to upgrade her essence so might as well farm someone else
If only it was this simple to make end game gold gear. 
i mean gold gear is very simple tbf
does skill damage bonus affect crush? or is it only art intensity that affects it?

Where's the construction for this or does it come magically. 

dont for a second think you can tell me the carbon is complicated
that mf is just like 6 planter units
does anyone know what gear would count as "good match" vs "standard match" when artificing gear
if the gear unupgraded base has more then what you are trying to upgrade its a good match
so it depends on the substat im upgrading
yes
tho there are some pieces that no matter what will always be good match
like this kit piece because it only has 2 stats and not 3
it will always have higher base int or battle skill dmg bonus then any 3 stat piece
so if you are every trying to upgrade the int or battle skill dmg bonus on a kit that isnt this kit itself
it will always be a good match
which piece is that?
hot works kit piece
ah okay
has anyone seen dps perlica w/ oblivion shenanignas
am well aware that it's objectively bad am just wondering if anyone's even done it
not to the endgame extent but I keep oblivion on her for my main acc cuz it's the best weapon I've got for her rn
it's pretty decent filler if nothing else
kk
I mainly keep it on her cuz I'm running a weirdcomp with 3 elements lol
so the freebie 5* from node rewards doesn't cover everything
i got him to hit 323k with food buff

239k was the highest i hit without
yippie
arclight's buff is too good
lizard gaming
you could say the lizard scales well? 😏


been having a LOT of fun playing around with various skill cycles with my endmin/perlica/chen/gilberta team lol
the combo skill synergy there is ridiculous
it's also silly how forcing a lift state on an enemy mob = you can extend it via regular lift
How do you get nukes on a support?
Gold gears and other supports only?
Minmaxed antal
Is swordmancer set bugged or something?
How exactly does the effect work? Cause when I pop my endmin skill it just does 1 tick of damage
Shouldn't it be 2?
agh I think I can do level 90 rhod with a level 20 team but i need to figure out a way for the non main operators to stop dying ot random things
maybe I just hold everything for stagger every time
You dont

Time to solo bud
Has someone tested swordmancer set?
Yeah
lvl 40 and they can prob live
my other operatorss are only 60
but theyre e3 with gold gear
well if it's technically possible to do it with e0 i'm gonna not upgrade
but sadly it'll be a grind
😔
i wish we could lower operator elite levels for challenges
but it's not gonna happen since they don't do that with the og arknights either
lwk the best essence for thermal cutter right?
doesnt have 3rd ability so it is unusable
you use cutter for the last part mainly
nah you want flow
that's more important than anything else
you only use thermite for flow
literally only for flow
youre giving it to an op that will do like 1% of your teams damage
oh wait i have 1 with flow
ideally its flow+3
okay it seems enemy drop limit is like, tied to enemy spawns?
like alluvium stopped dropping mats because i spammed it too much
or will is more important then attack?
i just farmed rakerbeast for fur rn
ill come back to pp alluvium in an hour and see if its dropping stuff again
have you checked whether the un-domesticated hyenas count towards this for the fillets?
and which is better for clanniable arts boost or infliction?
thermite is a weapon youre only giving to a support so their damage is not notable. because of this will is generally more valuable since it technically helps them stay alive more
that said attributes are really only notable on supports if they scale off of them like xaihi, alesh and akekuri with intellect
i did just rn and OTHER hyenas not from alluvium are dropping fillets
only user of this weapon where will is relevant is pog
yeah, they're guranteed drop
it might legit just be to stop players from spamming alluvium and getting 100 meat every 30 mins lol
and there's a good chance it's actually bis on pog
from the ones without levels
i do have pog P2
o
the ripptusks or whatever
thinking of build a team for him
yea you'd want will/flow then
(his personal damage wont be good anyway)
goddamn why is ginseng stew so expensive
8 meat 💔
oh nvm its 4 meat i just made 2 by accident
speaking of pog, I hate how his normal combo pushes superlight/flying enemies back far enough his final strike misses entirely LOL
You actually gave me a decent idea to improve on that 
good job i guess
Seeing the wasted Sandleaf powder makes me sadge 🥀
Has actually someone tested swordmancer cause I can't seem to get the extra hit
Arts boost or infliction for Clannibale
infliction
assuming youre using it on wulf, which you should be, then he also doesnt do respectable damage
well. compared to laev
Does someone have a swordmancer set? I wanna check somewhere
which off piece for awywenne is best in your guys opinion
for gloves running 3 bonekrusha
pulser gloves
Simply vuln doesn't count, has to be lift, knockdown, crush, or breach. Also once it procs it has a 15s CD before it procs again.
oh thank you
Ok but my endmin skill is crush and it doesn't proc shit
I've tried it with chen too
finally getting units lvl 80+.
are there 3 ranks of Mastery per skill with a max of lvl 12?
do Mastery upgrades scale differently than previous skill upgrades or is it just standard improvement?
is this a good team
i dunno what cryo teams r good
yvonne needs gilberta to be able to be considered good
dang it
Ok but shouldn't it be able to proc on the first use of the skill even if the enemy has no vulnerability stack?
who could i run with alesh?
nobody
No, vuln itself isn't a physical status proc
It's a bit misleading
I think alesh and estella fit better in shatter team
how hard is it to get Alesh to 600 Intellect?
prob not hard if i can get antal to 600 intellect
but then again this is like
uhh
wow, the weapon contribute more than I thought
yea 😭 😭
9/9 
its a wasted essence, i just upgraded it because i couldnt get all 3 and gave up

Ok but crush is a physical status and endmin's battle skill is specifically crush
Unless it only specifically procs when crushing vuln stacks which is dumb
And doesn't also explain why my chen doesn't also get the free strike
In the case of lift, shouldn't swordmancer proc on chen's battle skill and even her combo skill?
Btw do we have damage calcs? Cause my battle skill doesn't seem to be doing as much damage as it says
maybe because the enemy has resistance
It's the same across normal landbreaker and rho
Every enemy has 0.5x you can't interact with
I see so that makes sense why my battle skill does 2x multiplier instead of 2.5x
Ok now that I understand, what I don't get is where is my swordmancer proc
how is the calculation for enchant effects on breach and others?
Is chen's battle skill 2 hits or just 1?
Multiplier
1
Giving up on trying to get one with all 3 for now, which would be better between these 2? Int or atk?
whats better for chen? aspirant or grand vision?
Neither
Get a 3/3
Sundering Steel if you have it at max dupes, the 5 star. For 6 stars she wants Grand Vision> Eminent repute > rapid ascent
But the 5 star is better for her and more accessible
rapid ascent
Also Endmin wants Grand Vision more I’m pre sure
is bis
The fuck is chen doing with vision
^
get one with all three
please do not waste your resources on etching this
but if youre just gonna settle on one for now, atk% is better
i see, i have sunder but only at pot1
i think this is the only website ive seen saying sundering steel is bis
LOL
The differences are so minimal it’s supposed to be used as a reference point, not a bible.
Its a shit reference point as well
It clearly shows what all the weapons do and groups everything together to easily compare. If you can’t read for yourself and come to your own conclusion then that’s on you.
No one using prydwen can read
Says the dude who’s too illiterate to see the accurate information in front of him and thinks spewing “Prydwen bad” makes him seem edgy
@dry kindle do you know which gear piece im supposed to artifice first
glove gives +6 stat
chest gives +5
kit gives +3
How is wulfgard damage contribution towards laeva team? i kinda make him as applicator slave rn

accurate
vision at 109% solo
Yeah uh sure
but, kit is the only one that has any "good match"
Just go by stats
Higher stat on upgrade fodder than target gear = good match
Right
My glove has no option for good match, only standard
BUUUUUUUT it does give the highest stat increase per success
Again, those numbers are references the actual weapons stats are all posted together I just didn’t open up the tabs so you could see all the weapons instead. If you can’t read and compare things on your own and rely on the % numbers Prydwen makes up then that’s just proves your incompetence and nothing else.
It’s a reference point, not a holy bible to base all your decisions off of.
id really not use either, aspirant isnt good and grand vision is literally just a stat stick
prydwen shouldnt even be used as a reference point tbf
do you happen to have sundering steel
How does ultimate energy work? (Sorry I meant the base mechanic haha)
more ult gain = more ult gain
16~ per skill used?
it just increases the amount of ult gained via things that give you ult by a % amount
No I’m trying to understand how much base ult charge things give
So I can calculate the final value after applying that multiplier
They compare numbers to Rapid Ascent which is supposed to be her signature
The base values aren’t really listed anywhere so
i mean most things just tell you how much ult it gives
But idk if numbers are even right
They do??
So you’d rather go through all the weapons 1 by 1 in game and screenshot them so you can compare the stats side by side rather than going to a website that does all that for you? Seems like a waste of time but whatever floats your boat.
You don’t use Prydwen for the tier lists, you use it as a site that gathers all the information you need and puts it onto a single page so you can easily compare and make a decision for yourself.
Yes but that’s with an ultimate energy gain mechanic
What about just a basic skill from say ardelia
That’s not listed is it?
id rather use a site that has actually reliable
Like?
It definitely gives ultimate energy teamwide when I use skills but
battle skills give every op in the team 25 ult energy iirc (assuming it consumes 100 sp)
i dont think finisher attacks are listed anywhere tbf
I can’t seem to track down a set number
returned sp doesnt generate ult energy mind you
Also define “reliable” because all tier lists are just biased bs and none of them are reliable. Please do elaborate how copy and pasted weapon and skill descriptions from the game are “unreliable”.
combo skills give ONLY the op who used that combo skill an amount of ult energy that i legit cannot remember
i hate new leafs
it might just be 25 as well
So using 4 skills should give full ult charge to characters with 100 ultimate energy requirements?
i mean you might just be able to eye ball it
but some bskills and some cskills also give additional amounts of ult energy
Base numbers I saw in a video are 6.5 to all ops per battle and 10 to user for combo but that sounds low if your numbers are anything to go by
if it does 25 or not
oh wait this sounds more accurate
sorry cbt brain is taking over i think
those are cbt1 numbers from me
it is probably the 6.5/10 figure
bro wym cbt brain we wernt in cbt1
So it’s what, 14??? Battle skill before ulti?
beef ive been fuckin chatting for weeks abt cbt1 during cbt2
That doesn’t sound right at all tbh
trying to understand what went so wrong
i didnt need to know gang
But fluorite with 10 who knows
Real sp consumed? So like the refund skills give less energy??
but yeah if a skill lists additional ult energy gain then also add that
yes
sp return is always specifically referred to as such
Ohhh thanks
Return sp is stuff like Pog p1
if a skill generates sp but doesnt say its returned then its not returned
like this
returns is underlined
letting you know it uses the sp return terminology
laev has additional ult energy gain on her enhanced bskill and cskill for example
no sadly
fluorite doesnt cause any arts reaction right? or does it still trigger as long as its over 4
The factory could always be more optimal
Can anyone with a phys team send footage of them actually getting rhe free hit from swordmancer set?
naur it couldnt be
she doesnt force-apply any arts reactions
Flourite doesn’t naturally cause reactions she only applies what is already there….
It’s on final hit too so no timing shenadigans to trick it
Well no, but you would have to use battle skill instead
😔
That said I do love her battle skill
she can, you would just have to apply a non-nature infliction first
actually i wonder
then fluorites bskill
im on a mission to make all 4* a dps, even catcher
her battle skill applies nature infliction
Can chuck that shit out and just regen sp since it doesn’t aggro
so her battle skill could do a arts reaction'
if i use dps endmin in physical team. should i crush all the vulnerability? or consume them with pog?
Consume the most stacks with pog for SP efficiency I think?
ohh, 👁️
Yeah you can do it with battle skill
breach with pog then stack up again and crush with endmin
Alternate breach and crush
yeah
ohh okiee noted, ty guys
You’d want higher stacks on the breach triggers for more SP for poggers, but otherwise yeah just stack and go brr
yeah lifeng and pog are your vuln bots
well lifeng is a lot of things honestly
just dont use him as a controlled op
i dont have him sadly so my rotations gonna be so long
speaking of Endmin dps should you always eat crystal with battle skill or burst it with ult w/ buffs when you can
give me a ardelia and ill give you a lifeng
hell take my last rite lifeng and pog for 3 ardelia
i have 3 dupe of her 
Dayum so vanguards being SP recovery and not SP return like defenders and LR is actually pretty important to the ultimate charge economy
i hate this game
yes
this is why phys is able to shit out ults
Wuling is hurting my head trying to optimize
what would the best team for awywenna be? im usung awy archlight perlica andal rn
I still feel like 6.5 ultimate charge per 100 is a bit lower than I thought it would be
Hmm
avy, arclight, perlica, gilberta/ardelia/antal
gilb ideally as 4th
Rite is basically a vanguard
30sp final strike go brr
yeah gilberta is the ideal 4th
her grouping is insane for avy
and also having the highest susc application through ult
what is this, fckin venti?!
ardelia is only at 149% trust
What is a vanguard again…
The nostalgia
Its to everyone
venti if he was in a good game
sp printer class
and not a loser of a "god"
Sp is still a shared resource I suppose
You’d still take what 14 battle skills to get ult for everyone
That seems a lot longer than I’d thought tbh
i dont think its possibe to throw hands at someone
unless you remove someone elses hands to then throw their hands
mind you combos account for a large portion of ult gen
Yeah 10 solo
But yeah not looking good for our gal Flourite and her 40s combo cooldown LOL
add ult eff into the mix and it's easy to see how rotations can become quite short
yeah
uh
haha.
What's the difference between lift and knockdown?
They both apply vulnerable, add another stack of vulnerable if they are already vulnerable, and CC vulnerable enemies
why tf is it 40 AAAAA
one make enemy go up other make enemy go down
no idea on the amount of base stagger
10
knock down and lift just do the same thing
the only time lift does something different is with gilberta ult
okay man.
one is up.
UP DOWN UP DOWN
Kinda wish knockdown had an effect if you used it on a lifted enemy like in Xenoblade
anyway
gilb's ult forces weaker, liftable enemies to levitate for 5 seconds
it's really fucking funny
it should do extra on a already lifted enemy and vice versa i agree
Also which set is better on Da Pan?
Yingling or Swordmancer?
so like a standard Xali LR combo is 240 real sp spent… 2x is 480, which is 31.2 global energy from battle skills….
gulp
Man LR gets her ult really quick quickly doesn’t she from her unique ult charge mechanics, she can quite literally get to ult in 2 rotations
neither. aethertech
like if im just chilling and get knockdown that hurts
but if im in the air and then get knockdown im getting a concussion
and use the strength xiranite core on him for ult eff, and make the ult eff +1 (+29.7%) so he has comfier rotations
ive gotten a feel of stuff
Oh damn aethertech does seem better
they call me stuff
@tight haven do you want me to try p5 temporarily
how temporarily
also what do you want me to do
Man I looked at a guide online and they recommended Yinglung or Swordmancer
ill do cranked stats
im good now
Can Ember trigger her combo skill to herself?
yeah a lot of this stuff is annoyingly super outdated
ill add extra intellect, extra 15% dmg @tight haven
phys is a team thats being constantly iterated upon but da pan is comfortably always going to use 3pcs aethertech with one ult eff kit
but not energy
NO. im already done with video recording
oh
how important are Akekuri's skills?
the utility of skills only improves on Ult upgrades aye?
Da Pan's ult giving faster combo skill cooldown makes the rotation super fast I absolutely love it
some poor soul did it for me. im now trying to sim a p5 surtr if you want
this is what i have currently
disregarding her combustion damage
i want death
Swordmancer though seems specifically built for Chen am I right?
And I'm currently running Yinglung on Estella
@valid zealot
sometimes i forget people have wallets
I just redo 3 Trimmed medal without food buff
iwtl wp rankings
😭

Also, what's the difference between "all skills dmg dealt bonus" and "physical dmg bonus"?
only like 25ish is money
really? i didnt even think there were that many availible for f2p
phys dmg% buffs phys dmg
skill dmg% buffs skill dmg
theyre additive to each other if your skill deals phys damage
If all my skills do physical damage anyways, are they basically the same stat?
im AL54 i have 5 missions left only 2 areas in the game have chests left and i only have 2 more aurylene upgrades for valley 4 left
if you deal phys, +50%
if you skill. + 30%
if you do phys skill, +80%
@bronze plume for sidequests, all of them are listed in the map right
i need these stupid shits
ok yeah a bit ahead of me makes sense
Gotcha, so they're not multiplicative with eachother
the blue triangle thingies
uhhh
im only 52 and i think 4 areas have chests and aurylene left
i think so
what if they just never add a 2 team mode ever
I kinda wish I didn't waste all my mats building Last Rite to 90
then i have a 2nd team for whenever i wanna swap it up
playing the same team forever sounds boring af
@bronze plume did you spend alr
i have spent some money yes
if you are to spend get the bp
Buy me bp 
sure
ahh
i will during yvonnes banner if you can remind me
if you can have the patience to wait until yvonnes banner and have the bp maxed by then
ill get you it Sworce
hold that thought im malding war zone in pgr
unless you do something that makes me not like you
where are these dumb intel gathering spots
i swear we had a website for all of them in cbt2
i mean i just have a gambling addiction
joke
nothing. im just gonna yoink the numbers rn for a p5 laev later
i just see at as anything else people spend money on their hobbies
games are one of my hobbies
maybe change tidefall to something that gives more damage
p0 yeah, not sure if p1 affecrs it
ill ask help channel if theres a website for it surely they wont air me again
How long does ardelia's phys susceptibility last?
Fr?
Oh it does
Goddamn that's so much more vuln than my Estella provides 😭 and hers is 6 second duration
2 ebs 2 combo with
2 ebs 3 combo without
Enhanced battle skill
id show you if i had the game open on my pc rn
Alesh feels like a trap. Akekuri mogs him completely. You want solidification? Heat from Akekuri's skill + any Ice gives you that solidification too. Lmao
hes not a trap
reading his kit and then the 2 cryo dps kits
will let you know he just doesnt work with them
his sp recovery feels nonexistent unless you're playing him to only use combo + ult.
Alesh is great on physical team with Estella
Estalla battle skill, Alesh Battle skill, Estella combo, Alesh combo
feels like akekuri is better even for Estella phys team. Heat+ice gives you solidification. And akekuri ult + link is way too good for amping burst.
Wow bravo boss.
Alesh has really good personal damage too

Look at the multiplier on his skill
Admittedly though Alesh needs some potentials to really shine
Can Ember and Snowshine trigger their combo skill to herself?
Like pot 3 which gives teamwide atk% buff
are there any other good masteries on phys team other than pog skill/ult
A lot of investment to do decent damage. Not sure if the cost is worth it for a 5* that will eventually be replaced.
at endgame looking for teams to experiment with.
are there really only 5 elements atm?
did OG arkknights have more? what we expect for 6th+ elements?
arknights never really had elements
Arknights doesn't have elements
i feel like unless they add some new mechanics theres gonna be a lack of team variety
or even character variety in general
I'm surprised water isn't an element especially since Wuling the water region is the second one
every team besides electro having that build stack, spend stack playstyle does that.
yeah im saying
Physical seems really like a wasted opportunity
like for new characters with the current mechanics all i can really think of is "x character but now they gen sp" "y character but the numbers are bigger" "z character but an extra stack" etc
im really unsure how they can spice it up
It seems inspired by the Xenoblade physical damage cycle, but it just ends up being build stack spend stack
adding more elements is one way
hopefully they cook
they shouldn't bottle themselves into existing elements only
We have necrosis
every team feels like i'm playing zani+pheobe. XD

especially when they cater a fair amount to experimentation
I think physical would have been more interesting if lift and knockdown actually interacted
And maybe you can't just do lift to get the first vulnerable, maybe you have to crush first
So you'd at least go crush > lift > knockdown > crush
Honestly crush is what I thought knockdown would be
main issue is SP cost. Most of your gameplay is holding normal attack until you generate enough SP to do the same optimal rotation. Would be easier if SP cost was a bit less, which is why the next SP gen unit they release would probably be the most important key unit if the numbers are high enough.
it's tricky
some teams can absolutely just spam skills almost nonstop
sp as it exists is not very good though, agreed
Game just needs Myrtle
Going from playing a Cryo team using Fluorite to playing a physical team where every cooldown is no longer than 20 seconds is a crazy difference
Why is fluorites cooldown 40 seconds
Because antal and akekuri took all the 4* power budget
someone's probably already done this, i bet there's a whole wiki about it, but i'm doing it on my own
the shit i do to make the factory grow istg
ATK% boost will be more impactful to your damage by far.
Has someone written down how long every character's basic attack sequence is?
I know the slower ones deal more stagger to compensate for how they take longer, but I wonder if they should generate more SP
I've been onfielding Greatsword characters for the entire game 😭
does anyone have a real definitive answer to lynx slab vs tide fall yet
oh that would 100% be the play once they release vanguards with better multipliers unless they can change the playstyle completely.
just use tide fall
the tested damage difference per rotation heavily goes in tide fall's favour
They do
where can i see this
Oh I thought they all generate the same SP
i’m hearing people say “slab better at high int / finished build”
slab is 0.8% better even given this
Rhodagn is a pain in the ass
ah.
while it also massively slows your rotation speed
wtf…
Why isn't the training room aboard the Dijang an actual training room
theres no fight that's just long enough that slab is straight better
das what im sayin
And I'm not testing arts intensity ardelia to find out if that works
treat it
test
or else
wouldn’t arts intensity ardelia boost her corrosion
i feel like that could be good
true
but what if it’s good
what if it’s great
what if you never have to hit ardelia skill again
P3 fraud
Is arts intensity better on Da Pan than physical damage gear? Especially if I'm running Exemplar which already gives physical damage
Has anyone worked out the actual best Yvonne team yet? I've seen like half a dozen different teams thrown about lol
not mine, but was posted in another server I'm in.
Not using yvonne
Just saw the video that's from, it's good but they do mention stuff like how they don't have Alesh so he wasn't considered
Dual dps with Last Rite, Xaihe, Ardelia. Or replace last rite with Alesh. Every speed runner on CN uses those 2 comps.
Standard rite comp kills faster anyway
nah wtf am i reading

You have no way to proc alesh combo in that team though
You need estelle or gilberta for alesh to work
alesh just doesnt work
Also no shot navigator is that close
yvonne needs gilberta to be a good unit
But idfk what yvonne ult timeline is
He's better SP gen than akekuri if you've got gilberta
I've got both, still not sure who to actually bring for the last two lol
True. Fastest one I seen was a 35 second Rhodagn kill with Last Rite vs 38 second with Yvonne. Whale setup.
Whale rite?
Pretty happy with that ngl, I thought Yvonne would just instantly make Last Rite irrelevant
Whale rite has 20s kill
