RIP BOZO

drifting quest
#

ITS TOO EARLY

solemn pasture
#

i have been told there is a 2 and a half min last rite clip here anyone seen it

drifting quest
#

IM NOT READY

#

I NEEDED THE EXTRA PULLS TO GUARANTEE

chilly dagger
#

u get 5 from def not sry

twilit quail
#

god this is so much text on physical already

#

but I havent explained things enough

drifting quest
#

honestly might just need to give pog an entire page

#

atp

twilit quail
#

reformatting catdespair

drifting quest
#

it lets you also write a bit more about chen / lifeng / dapan / endmin on the main page

kindred sorrel
#

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

rugged vale
#

Pot5 yato 💳

kindred sorrel
#

then theres a bunch of smaller crossovers that were mostly just skins for arknights characters

daring dove
twilit quail
#

that might be the way go to cause

#

god there is so much

kindred sorrel
#

like this is a skin for surtr that is technically a collab skin with I.T (hong kong fashion company)

twilit quail
#

fuck me

kindred sorrel
#

im sure endfield will eventually do collabs

kindred sorrel
#

didnt know they were a hong kong company tbh, but i saw quite a few of their stores in mainland china

twilit quail
#

I will also be leaving for china in a few days

#

so I hope there arent any significant developments while Im not home

#

btw, i assume the links in the google spreadsheet need to be opened via chrome or something

solemn pasture
#

there are too many people who don't know how spreadsheets work

kindred sorrel
#

because they dont work in firefox xdd

solemn pasture
#

if its firefox you're having issues, it might be because its not chromium? xD

kindred sorrel
#

probably

#

i just dont want to use a chromium browser pensivewobble

solemn pasture
#

real

bronze plume
#

hello

solemn pasture
#

every browser and their mother is a chromium offshoot

#

except firefox it seems

twilit quail
#

man I use firefox

#

what the fuck

bronze plume
#

thats somewhat accurate

rugged kiln
twilit quail
#

it's always been fine for me

bronze plume
#

besides the firefox offshoots

kindred sorrel
#

might just be something on my end then

solemn pasture
#

oof

bronze plume
#

i use librewolf

drifting quest
#

i really dont know what the issue is

kindred sorrel
#

for example, clicking this just opens a new tab with the same page

drifting quest
#

it just does not like some people

twilit quail
#

so when people told me about this I was flabbergasted

kindred sorrel
#

ye idk, it doesnt seem to work in edge either xdd

#

and i dont have chrome installed so i cant check there

bronze plume
#

the sheet just doesnt work properly have the time

#

doesnt work in librewolf with those links

kindred sorrel
#

but i assume it works on iana's side?

bronze plume
#

doesnt work on chrome either

#

i wonder if its a device thing rather then a web browser thing

kindred sorrel
#

maybe its just google permissions being a bit wonky for viewers

drifting quest
#

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

kindred sorrel
#

managed to 4 tap my gloves strength line using higher strength gloves as materials prayge

bronze plume
#

jump

#

i mean

#

thats cool good job

drifting quest
#

i did the ult charge on my laev build in about 30 total

bronze plume
#

oh its feb 1st

drifting quest
#

pretty happy with it

kindred sorrel
#

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 xdd

#

Which boss am I supposed to face to get ATK boost + Twilight?

#

This one has Twilight but no ATK boost is possible.

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 🥺🥺🥹🥹🥹🥹

drifting quest
#

there was a long discussion about it earlier

#

you can search it up

could not find the 150s clip :(

tide chest vs lynx slab

daring dove
rugged kiln
manic blade
#

Hmm 🤔 I mean I’ve alr artificed hella into hot work kits /:

twilit quail
#

I wonder how many people are slab gaming

#

It has to be a pretty significant portion

twilit quail
#

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

kindred sorrel
pliant basalt
#

does anyone have lae gilb rotations

manic blade
#

Like at p4 how much of my combo would I have to miss to not get 2 cycle ult with no energy gain

twilit quail
#

there isn't a rotation as much as there is a

#

vague idea of how you should oneshot things

manic blade
#

Is it tight enough where it’s worth to just run tidefall anyways

twilit quail
#

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

drifting quest
twilit quail
#

that's an idea

#

it's just that

#

god all of the problems

#

are just caused by physical

drifting quest
#

i was going to include some sample rotations in the faq doc i have going

twilit quail
#

Ive had like 5 people ask today

#

why aethertech dapan

#

and so on

drifting quest
#

so you could just take a section there too if you want rotations written

twilit quail
#

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

drifting quest
#

she should be 1st banner next patch

#

its just if a) shes actually phys

#

b) isnt a chen replacement instead

twilit quail
#

little chen...

#

it would genuinely be insane to replace her though

drifting quest
#

id doubt it is a chen replacement but im not here to jinx it

twilit quail
#

we need to accumulate some like

#

virtual karma for her

#

so she doesnt suddenly lose her job

tight haven
#

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"

drifting quest
#

no they're just there as samples

#

usually opening rots

tight haven
#

yeah i would write about openers and about what each action does

twilit quail
#

ok physical also has

tight haven
#

idk what ianas doing

twilit quail
#

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!

tight haven
#

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

twilit quail
#

if I ever do it I will make an infographic or two

#

I think I'll do them vertically

tight haven
#

yea lowkey id just make a video atp

#

LOL

twilit quail

I mean i could but like

alright

it's happened on youtube it's happened on discord it's happened in video games

tight haven
#

wait

#

YEAH

#

I REMEMBER LMAOOO

fuckin

twilit quail
#

and as much as a video would be good at communicating things

tight haven
#

on the neural cloud discord

twilit quail
#

I am not sure if I want to attract that same audience again

#

and so out of concern for my personal safety

tight haven
#

crazy memory to dig up

twilit quail
#

you know

tight haven
#

fair fair

twilit quail
#

that might not be the best idea

drifting quest
#

time to pull out the bilibili text to speech

tight haven
#

yeah and editing is a lot of work

twilit quail
#

I am a semi-competent editor but setting things up

#

and recording proper footage again

#

pain in the ass

twilit quail
#

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

tight haven

yeah it aint

astral walrus
#

Anyone know difference between rapid ascent or max dupe sundering steel on Chen?

twilit quail
#

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

astral walrus
#

Ok, so I already have a lvl 90 steel and 3/3 engraving for it by dumb luck so sticking with that

#

Thx

manic blade
#

Where is laeva ult gain calcs?

#

numbers rlly

solemn pasture
#

yeesh though

manic blade
#

300 ult cost 255 with p4 enhanced skills are what like 76

#

I can’t find the #s I had ):

solemn pasture
#

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

keen venture
#

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.

solemn pasture
rugged kiln
#

I do see the potential there

#

Might be wrong too so who knows

keen venture
#

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

solemn pasture
#

which is what his combo does

keen venture
#

ahh so even if it copies someone else infiction it still counts

#

cheers

solemn pasture
#

yep

solemn pasture
keen venture
#

its hard to see what buffs they got so its hard to figure it out

solemn pasture
#

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

keen venture
#

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.

manic blade
#

It’s honestly a mess rn 🥲

bronze plume
#

just use

#

the guide in the team build pins

#

if you care so much to not figure it out yoself ez

keen venture
manic blade
#

^ it is one of the better options there is just so much slop builds with no thought out there rn 😭

bronze plume
#

i mean yeah

#

thats kinda how it happens for any games with builds and websites existing

#

knowing the dogshit websites is half the battle

manic blade
#

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…

rugged kiln

drifting quest
#

there was a huge debate in this channel

#

did you read it all and not get info

kind ferry
#

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

manic blade
#

Disc a bit annoying only found pieces I didn’t see much

kind ferry
drifting quest
#

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

midnight stirrup
#

Is that a Tera profile picture

drifting quest
#

if you're low invest so no arts intensity and not p5 pan then sure can probably chen skill

midnight stirrup
#

Bro just slapped me in the face with nostalgia

kind ferry
ornate rapids
#

do i need to change anything

drifting quest
#

as soon as da pan has more arts intensity than chen swap over to him stacking

kind ferry
#

ok i see, so panda it is

Lol there is neither pot option for Firebuckle and Umbraline

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

hollow stream
dry mason
midnight stirrup

LR and Perlica stagger pretty fast

fluid frost
#

lizard gaming 🗣️

hollow stream
#

could u technically make a staggerbot build for units that want stagger really fast?

fluid frost
#

true hmm

solemn pasture
#

from what i hear from one dude who did some calcs before snowshine staggers the fastest

#

ake is 2nd fastest

bronze plume
#

accurate

hollow stream
#

snowshine in ard out make snowshine a stagger bothuaji

solemn pasture
#

i think her stagger comes from her final strike and parry

hollow stream
#

O damn

solemn pasture
#

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

signal thistle
#

which is the priority to buy in wuling shop, engraving permits or artificing catalysts?

fluid frost
#

laevatain and dapan could prob hit that no problem

bronze plume
#

there are now

#

only 2 areas im missing all chests

#

hahahahaha

solemn pasture
bronze plume

basically if need essence from wuling for weapons then engraving if not catalysts

wait wtf discord changed where it sources its gifs from

bronze plume
#

theres gotta be a website for these right

gritty olive
#

who tf is this

drifting quest
#

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

s1 is not useful in is5 so i didnt

#

however for the other two people m9 is probably good

drifting quest
#

i was going to say s1 scales better at like middlish amounts of aspd but its is5

#

lampge

gritty olive
#

s2 is her "main skill" although s3 sees use in some select maps

signal thistle
#

i should use these stats for laevatain weapon pre engrave ?

gritty olive
#

who am i to know i just play three men and i "consistently" win

bronze plume
#

that setting does in fact have 2/3 of her essence selected

gritty olive
#

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

bronze plume
#

subpac?

#

why would subpac level matter

gritty olive
#

i dont see any proper goods in wuling

fluid frost
bronze plume
#

its the stock redistribution that handles what you can buy within regions

gritty olive
#

thanks

vagrant sparrow
#

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

daring dove
#

If only it was this simple to make end game gold gear. sadcat

bronze plume
#

i mean gold gear is very simple tbf

stoic dragon
#

does skill damage bonus affect crush? or is it only art intensity that affects it?

bronze plume
#

that is

#

very simple

daring dove
bronze plume
#

dont for a second think you can tell me the carbon is complicated

#

that mf is just like 6 planter units

eternal sluice
#

does anyone know what gear would count as "good match" vs "standard match" when artificing gear

bronze plume
#

if the gear unupgraded base has more then what you are trying to upgrade its a good match

eternal sluice
#

so it depends on the substat im upgrading

bronze plume
#

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

eternal sluice
#

which piece is that?

bronze plume
#

hot works kit piece

eternal sluice
#

ah okay

safe sand
#

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

it's pretty decent filler if nothing else

fluid frost
turbid ore
#

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

Gold gears and other supports only?

pretty much, the stagger mechanic really helps but yea

i have this team on

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?

ripe parrot
#

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

Has someone tested swordmancer set?

tight haven

so is there some kind of daily cap to enemy drops?

Yeah

tight haven

just ran into it for the first time ig

oh well like 100 meat today

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

😔

ripe parrot
#

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

ornate rapids
#

lwk the best essence for thermal cutter right?

twilit quail
#

doesnt have 3rd ability so it is unusable

ripe parrot
#

you use cutter for the last part mainly

tight haven
#

nah you want flow

ripe parrot
#

that's more important than anything else

tight haven
#

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

ornate rapids
#

oh wait i have 1 with flow

tight haven
#

ideally its flow+3

ornate rapids
#

I have 1 with attack and flow

#

useable?

tight haven
#

okay it seems enemy drop limit is like, tied to enemy spawns?

#

like alluvium stopped dropping mats because i spammed it too much

ornate rapids
#

or will is more important then attack?

tight haven
#

i just farmed rakerbeast for fur rn

#

ill come back to pp alluvium in an hour and see if its dropping stuff again

turbid ore
ornate rapids
#

and which is better for clanniable arts boost or infliction?

tight haven
#

that said attributes are really only notable on supports if they scale off of them like xaihi, alesh and akekuri with intellect

tight haven
twilit quail
#

only user of this weapon where will is relevant is pog

turbid ore
#

yeah, they're guranteed drop

tight haven
#

it might legit just be to stop players from spamming alluvium and getting 100 meat every 30 mins lol

twilit quail
#

and there's a good chance it's actually bis on pog

turbid ore
#

from the ones without levels

tight haven
#

no no sorry

#

i meant the bonekrusher hyenas

ornate rapids
turbid ore
#

o

tight haven
#

the ripptusks or whatever

ornate rapids
#

thinking of build a team for him

twilit quail
#

then you might want a 3/3

#

cause pog primary is will

tight haven
#

yea you'd want will/flow then

twilit quail
#

(his personal damage wont be good anyway)

tight haven
#

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

Does someone have a swordmancer set? I wanna check somewhere

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

Every enemy has 0.5x you can't interact with

how is the calculation for enchant effects on breach and others?

whats better for chen? aspirant or grand vision?

please do not waste your resources on etching this

What's new

i see, i have sunder but only at pot1

cerulean wigeon
# woeful timber

i think this is the only website ive seen saying sundering steel is bis

#

LOL

woeful timber
dry kindle
#

Its a shit reference point as well

woeful timber
#

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.

dry kindle
#

No one using prydwen can read

woeful timber
#

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

urban ferry
#

@dry kindle do you know which gear piece im supposed to artifice first

glove gives +6 stat
chest gives +5
kit gives +3

ember stag
#

How is wulfgard damage contribution towards laeva team? i kinda make him as applicator slave rn

urban ferry
dry kindle
urban ferry
#

but, kit is the only one that has any "good match"

dry kindle
#

Just go by stats

dry kindle
urban ferry
#

Right

My glove has no option for good match, only standard

BUUUUUUUT it does give the highest stat increase per success

woeful timber
# dry kindle >accurate >vision at 109% solo Yeah uh sure

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.

tight haven
bronze plume
#

prydwen shouldnt even be used as a reference point tbf

tight haven
#

do you happen to have sundering steel

proud vector
#

How does ultimate energy work? (Sorry I meant the base mechanic haha)

bronze plume
#

more ult gain = more ult gain

proud vector
#

16~ per skill used?

bronze plume
#

it just increases the amount of ult gained via things that give you ult by a % amount

proud vector
#

No I’m trying to understand how much base ult charge things give

#

So I can calculate the final value after applying that multiplier

plucky warren
proud vector
#

The base values aren’t really listed anywhere so

bronze plume
#

i mean most things just tell you how much ult it gives

plucky warren
#

But idk if numbers are even right

proud vector
#

They do??

bronze plume
woeful timber
# bronze plume prydwen shouldnt even be used as a reference point tbf

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.

proud vector
#

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?

bronze plume
woeful timber
proud vector
#

It definitely gives ultimate energy teamwide when I use skills but

tight haven
bronze plume
proud vector
#

I can’t seem to track down a set number

tight haven
#

returned sp doesnt generate ult energy mind you

proud vector
#

Gah terminology

#

I meant battle skill from ardelia

woeful timber
tight haven
#

combo skills give ONLY the op who used that combo skill an amount of ult energy that i legit cannot remember

bronze plume
#

i hate new leafs

tight haven
#

it might just be 25 as well

proud vector
#

So using 4 skills should give full ult charge to characters with 100 ultimate energy requirements?

bronze plume
#

i mean you might just be able to eye ball it

tight haven
#

but some bskills and some cskills also give additional amounts of ult energy

plucky warren
#

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

bronze plume
#

if it does 25 or not

proud vector
#

That doesn’t sound right

#

It looks less than 25

tight haven
#

sorry cbt brain is taking over i think

#

those are cbt1 numbers from me

#

it is probably the 6.5/10 figure

bronze plume
#

bro wym cbt brain we wernt in cbt1

proud vector
#

So it’s what, 14??? Battle skill before ulti?

tight haven
#

beef ive been fuckin chatting for weeks abt cbt1 during cbt2

proud vector
#

That doesn’t sound right at all tbh

tight haven
#

trying to understand what went so wrong

dry kindle
#

6.5/100 real sp consumed

#

Combo fuck knows

#

Probably 10

bronze plume
dry kindle
#

But fluorite with 10 who knows

proud vector
#

Real sp consumed? So like the refund skills give less energy??PerliWheeze

tight haven
#

but yeah if a skill lists additional ult energy gain then also add that

tight haven
#

sp return is always specifically referred to as such

proud vector
#

Ohhh thanks

plucky warren
#

Return sp is stuff like Pog p1

tight haven
#

if a skill generates sp but doesnt say its returned then its not returned

bronze plume
#

like this

#

returns is underlined

#

letting you know it uses the sp return terminology

tight haven
#

laev has additional ult energy gain on her enhanced bskill and cskill for example

proud vector
#

Yes I see it

#

PerliWheeze damn I can’t LR to turbo ult for everyone else

tight haven
#

no sadly

bronze plume
#

i might be cooked

#

i have no more important quests

fluid frost
#

fluorite doesnt cause any arts reaction right? or does it still trigger as long as its over 4

proud vector
#

The factory could always be more optimal

steel apex
#

Can anyone with a phys team send footage of them actually getting rhe free hit from swordmancer set?

bronze plume
#

naur it couldnt be

tight haven
proud vector
#

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

fluid frost
#

so if i theoretically wanted to make her a dps, wedge doesnt work?

proud vector
#

Well no, but you would have to use battle skill instead

fluid frost
#

😔

proud vector
#

That said I do love her battle skill

tight haven
# fluid frost

she can, you would just have to apply a non-nature infliction first

bronze plume
#

actually i wonder

tight haven
#

then fluorites bskill

fluid frost
#

im on a mission to make all 4* a dps, even catcher

bronze plume
#

her battle skill applies nature infliction

proud vector
#

Can chuck that shit out and just regen sp since it doesn’t aggro

bronze plume
#

so her battle skill could do a arts reaction'

steel hedge
#

if i use dps endmin in physical team. should i crush all the vulnerability? or consume them with pog?

proud vector
#

Consume the most stacks with pog for SP efficiency I think?

proud vector
#

Yeah you can do it with battle skill

tight haven
tight haven
#

yeah

steel hedge
#

ohh okiee noted, ty guys

bronze plume
#

ya go breach crush breach crush

#

as you breach the skull of the enemies

proud vector
#

You’d want higher stacks on the breach triggers for more SP for poggers, but otherwise yeah just stack and go brr

bronze plume
#

thats why lifeng is so good

#

bro is a stack printer

tight haven
#

yeah lifeng and pog are your vuln bots

#

well lifeng is a lot of things honestly

#

just dont use him as a controlled op

steel hedge
plucky warren
#

speaking of Endmin dps should you always eat crystal with battle skill or burst it with ult w/ buffs when you can

bronze plume
#

hell take my last rite lifeng and pog for 3 ardelia

steel hedge
proud vector
#

Dayum so vanguards being SP recovery and not SP return like defenders and LR is actually pretty important to the ultimate charge economy

bronze plume
#

i hate this game

tight haven
#

this is why phys is able to shit out ults

manic blade
viscid crow
#

what would the best team for awywenna be? im usung awy archlight perlica andal rn

proud vector
#

PerliStare I still feel like 6.5 ultimate charge per 100 is a bit lower than I thought it would be

#

Hmm

bronze plume
#

avy, arclight, perlica, gilberta/ardelia/antal

proud vector
#

Avy arclight perlica core yeah

#

The three play into each other well

tight haven
#

gilb ideally as 4th

dry kindle
#

30sp final strike go brr

bronze plume
#

yeah gilberta is the ideal 4th

tight haven
#

her grouping is insane for avy

#

and also having the highest susc application through ult

proud vector
#

PerliWheeze what is this, fckin venti?!

bronze plume
#

ardelia is only at 149% trust

manic blade
#

What is a vanguard again…

proud vector
#

The nostalgia

bronze plume
#

venti if he was in a good game

tight haven
bronze plume
#

and not a loser of a "god"

proud vector
#

You’d still take what 14 battle skills to get ult for everyone

#

That seems a lot longer than I’d thought tbh

dry kindle
#

Throw hands better

bronze plume
#

i dont think its possibe to throw hands at someone

#

unless you remove someone elses hands to then throw their hands

dry kindle
tight haven
proud vector
#

Yeah 10 solo

#

But yeah not looking good for our gal Flourite and her 40s combo cooldown LOL

tight haven
#

add ult eff into the mix and it's easy to see how rotations can become quite short

#

yeah

#

uh

#

haha.

fringe dirge
#

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

proud vector
#

PerliWheeze why tf is it 40 AAAAA

bronze plume
#

one make enemy go up other make enemy go down

fringe dirge
#

How much stagger do they do?

#

It just says it deals stagger

bronze plume
#

no idea on the amount of base stagger

tight haven
#

knock down and lift just do the same thing

bronze plume
#

the nerd go you

#

no

#

ONE IS UP ONE IS DOWN :(

tight haven
#

the only time lift does something different is with gilberta ult

#

okay man.

#

one is up.

bronze plume
#

UP DOWN UP DOWN

tight haven
#

one is down.

#

okay.

bronze plume
#

WE TEACH THEM THIS IN THE MILITARY

#

UP DOWN UP DOWN

fringe dirge
#

Kinda wish knockdown had an effect if you used it on a lifted enemy like in Xenoblade

bronze plume
#

anyway

tight haven
#

it's really fucking funny

bronze plume
#

it should do extra on a already lifted enemy and vice versa i agree

fringe dirge
#

Also which set is better on Da Pan?
Yingling or Swordmancer?

proud vector
#

PerliDerp 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

tight haven
bronze plume
#

like if im just chilling and get knockdown that hurts
but if im in the air and then get knockdown im getting a concussion

tight haven
#

and use the strength xiranite core on him for ult eff, and make the ult eff +1 (+29.7%) so he has comfier rotations

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

bronze plume
#

hes not a trap

#

reading his kit and then the 2 cryo dps kits

#

will let you know he just doesnt work with them

swift tundra
#

his sp recovery feels nonexistent unless you're playing him to only use combo + ult.

fringe dirge
#

Alesh is great on physical team with Estella

#

Estalla battle skill, Alesh Battle skill, Estella combo, Alesh combo

swift tundra
#

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.

valid zealot

#

Alesh has really good personal damage too

dry mason

Look at the multiplier on his skill

Admittedly though Alesh needs some potentials to really shine

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?

bronze plume

arknights never really had elements

fringe dirge
#

Arknights doesn't have elements

sterile herald

i feel like unless they add some new mechanics theres gonna be a lack of team variety

#

or even character variety in general

fringe dirge

I'm surprised water isn't an element especially since Wuling the water region is the second one

swift tundra
sterile herald
#

yeah im saying

fringe dirge
#

Physical seems really like a wasted opportunity

sterile herald
#

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

fringe dirge
#

It seems inspired by the Xenoblade physical damage cycle, but it just ends up being build stack spend stack

tight haven
#

adding more elements is one way

bronze plume
#

hopefully they cook

tight haven
#

they shouldn't bottle themselves into existing elements only

dry kindle
swift tundra
#

every team feels like i'm playing zani+pheobe. XD

dry kindle
tight haven
#

especially when they cater a fair amount to experimentation

sterile herald
#

well ive got my fingers crossed

#

i like this game

#

id like to see it do well

fringe dirge
#

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

swift tundra
#

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.

tight haven
#

it's tricky

#

some teams can absolutely just spam skills almost nonstop

#

sp as it exists is not very good though, agreed

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
