the crazy thing is endfield feels a lot less drippy than og arknights
2d > 3d issues
okay that's fair
if lee becomes a reconvener my life belongs to gryphline
3D takes so much more time and effort than 2D
translating 2d techwear is really hard
2D is just the chibi + splash arts
we're not wearing 100 layers of towels, yet
is reconveners the same as resonators in wuwa
name for chars?
give the man 5000 belts that he doesn't wear on his waist
oh
No it's an originium code copy of an operator
was surtr reincarnated tho
yeah
whenever a character gets infected with oripathy their data is stored within originium
there was like a whole event quest about that man
or whatever
can we get amaia back 
laeva is a reconvener
at some point the data is brought out of originium to create reconveners
they retain all the memories of the past life but are their own new person
huh interesting
most follow the same trend in life due to recieving knowledge and memories of their role
i thought she just like nuked her memories for jokes
no surtr had no memories either
Reconveners are data copies so when they are "born" they are embedded with the memories of their source code
surtr's weird because her memory was passed on but she never had any
You mean this thing?
so it was like her lack of memory was passed on
i doubt it happens
Supposedly Endmin is also a reconvener
No thats her skill lol
we dont know enough
Endfield Industries is a subsidiary of Rhodes Island
All we know is that RI beame reclusive
hg pls
i know EI was helped to be set up by RI alongside other agencies
but i thought they went independent pretty quick
@daring dove
Ehh where is it?
boi
Boi?
@dry kindle can u give me the billibilli link of the character effects
so these two can see for themselves
at p5
Got it,
I'm too lazy to give you all the lore texts but the way oripathy prevention and treatment has improved is linked to RI being the parent company of EI
yea, her tail tip is black before p5, and those hand cloth things dont glow blue
laevs p5 sucks ass
the two screws on her dress only glow
thats all
they're in collaboration, didn't remember reading they were a direct subsidiary though
especially after RI lost contact with the Terra division
and then Terra maybe goes downhill if Kaltsit skin is canon
Wonder what Ardelia's is like? 
uh idr tbh
Guess I'll find out tomorrow I hope
yvonne gets glowy blue spirals in her hair
man, lava surely does a lot of dmg,but how much more comfy i feel in phys. like you can almost permamently stagger the bosses with it and don't run after the boss and look at it's annoying animations etc
I may be wrong about the nuances. Forgive my insomniac sleep deprived brain.
gilberta her cape thing only becomes a bit brighter at the bottom
pog idr, lifeng idr
I mean i could certainly be wrong, I haven't done a lore deep dive yet
Xaihi provides sustain, amp and infliction
@daring dove https://www.vxbilibili.com/video/BV1ZQzfBFEyy/ found it
I'm doing Gil Flourite for now

yea ardelia is ass
It's like a more watered down version of sig w-engines vfx
theyre all very mediocre
Although much more costly for less
aside from last rite
she has the most changes
weapons usually look better yeah
my sig is p3 rn
๐ญ
Then you gotta get lr p3 to match 
im saying
her weapon hard af to get tho
lucksacked 1, pitied 1, pitied 1 again, got 1 from 2 laev dupes over p5
Thanks Ardelia's looks pretty cool as well, Gilberta I feel like I'm being gaslighted because they're exactly the same. 
Embers it a bit meh
brighter orange
ardelia only her skirt thingies glow
kinda mid
yea ember is trash
laev too
lifeng and pog too tbh
Oof
Do you think they're gonna add any auxiliary glamor effects like an aura or something?
Other than buying from the shop, b how else do I get it?
lifeng profile theme tho damn
I Hope not
What is this?
a png
Where is this from?
the internet
Gotta wait till his side story quest then
assuming he gets one next patch
but well see
i was surprised that wulf got one
Very helpful
I get new LR art from p3
the full
I forgot
Youre welcome
what the helly
when was pulse pog found
Amazing honestly. I geniuently do not mind getting three copies of him if it means being closer to this masterpiece.


free Last Rite with new update based based based
its just hot work but more intensity
Then imma throw her in the trash
fairs
im never artificing pog
just use both
honestly as much as the advice is simply to wait
Watch them both be st cryo dps
i trust you all to be smart people
what;s last rite?
its unlikely future stuff will change anything
as long as you're fine with how it feels to play
artifice whatever
One question, What is the theoriycrafting chat for? I don't quite understand it yet.
meanwhile i'm throwing everything at perlica's gear cause that one stays on her for sure
yeah i like lifeng so im just full sending it for him
dmg gear weapons mostly
"To talk about advanced game mechanics like number crunching."
as per the title
sometimes story, and some scrubs come here to boast
Its just general 2
p4 pog is good cause you can run thermite + 3x pulse
Its where people calculate all the game shit to figure out best comps characters etc etc
dude
Like every other tc channel
Im drinking at 7:30 in the morning
But we made it generalcrafting
thermite cutter or OBJ (im not playing pog)
if p4 pog is so good why isnt there a p5 pog

answer me that
Got it. So if I have a crazy build idea do I send i there? or in team building?
I got some banging whisky at the airport duty free
Bruh
Reasonable crashout
though I got buzzed at the tasting booth
๐ฟ
if it's an upgraded build, or one you think to be an upgraded build, with some degree of empirical evidence to back it up then send it here
else prob more for team-build or a general chat
meme builds can be here but its iffy
I got a dm asking how you should build pog main dps
It has 0 empirical use. It is just a game theory. 
Do you all think they'll find a way to make Yvonne better than LR, or is Yvonne just destined to be mid without direct kit buffs?
the latter
realistically no unit can unbrick yvonne that doesnt make last rite better
Range tax
I expect a full suitcase of fangyi merch 
i lowkey thought yvonne was next so i saved up
endfield idk
ill probably just drop it on ange
Yeah maybe a unit that buffs the parties CD, but that seems ultra specific.
i want to collect all the beans merch but shipping prices me out of it
and then half the time they're out of stock
im going to fan con
Wdym you don't wanna drop 150 on shipping
im not even american so the shipping is less
but its still expensive
i was going to buy one of the like
bundles a while back
so it's going to be very economic stuff
but it ended up coming out to like 130 or something
wait we getting selector?
so Im getting fan merch
id love to visit a con
man free slector and then who would i pick?
with the qol yeah
i think i have lifeng's sig
That being said I could see them releasing an accessible 5* that makes CR/CD better, considering how terrible it is as a stat RN. That or you need to fix the values you get from CR/CD on future weapons. No more of this 19.5% BS give a weapon 40% CR even then it's still worse than ATK%.
But it's at least comparable.
CR is convertible to every dmg dealer
actual rice stalk
is that even endifeld?
I would prefer if they keep CR rare and difficult to acquire but massively inflate CD
So once you fully build into it you're met with big numbers
in 4 years trust
dude I was BATTLING on my tiny ass hotel table
no you would have people fishing for crit runs for trimmmed
half of my bed was a workbench for two days
Their suffering is of their own making
and boasting video spam here

what if you just went fishing
or they;ll fish for biggest crit they can do
:alesh:
I'm actually surprised there's no fishing mechanic in the game
Like you're telling me we go to a Chinese region where there's plentiful fresh water and not a single fish in site
Ain't no way the blight doesn't bring an extra layer of flavorful seasoning to piscine
Give LR like 5% CR so she can deal like 1 million damage hit after 400 attempts. 
Fishing so zzzzz tho
id prefer no fishing over a fishing system like stardews though
have you seen fish there?
it's decorative ones
also werent you attacked by alegoai from water on your way there?
is pog sig worth getting? and is upgrading essence for thermite/pog sig a high priority

bruh why does mountain bearer make lifeng thanos
There's already enough time wasting activities to do in the game honestly.Too many an it'll stop feeling like a daily log-in gacha & more like a full time life simulator. 
Agreed, already too much to do
i have finished all quests
what i have to do?
i know i can do farming in wuling
OG Arknights
not playing anymore
Sorry to hear that
mmm not a believer in the perpetual motion machine
Run around every zone collecting rare herbs/minerals
yes
holy
damage% buff vs atk% buff things
Don't be like that Youtuber, you can farm 120 pulls in a day in Enfield "I just played for 27 hours straight". 
well then is it worth etching +flow for thermite essence or do i just keep farming for laeva essence
suspend disbelief
what is that server
ehhh, is there renewable source of pulls that can be done without timegate?
If you use Laeva and you don't have her essence then that is priority 1 for you
i dont think so
i still cant believe i went -80 on pog sig
i did played 12 hour straitght few times
or maybe like 8
?
dunno my sleep schedule is messy
It's not that unlikely. Odds of that happening are ~49%.
no its the fact that i touched it in the first place
?
arsenal system is nice
no more worrying on which one to pull
you have two step system
first you pull chars
then you go and pull weapons
It dramatically lowers cost of limited + sig for spenders
where r u getting the arsenal pulls tho
from regular pulls
I finally completed my clue exchange and then immediately was surprised that I have a surplus of every clue except for 3. This is AK all over again 
- credit store
yeah and what if you get them turbo early
can convert the orange gems to it, or get it from char pulls
are you going to continue for pots just to pull on their weap
sacc
too bad pog sig sucks ass
Except
You fuckin explode if you early pull rate up
why explode?
Bro says LR sig and pog like it's dokkan
everyone calls it that tho
where else do u get the arsenal pulls
I just call them 6*, 5*, etc
Assuming an f2p income of 60 pulls per patch and you purchase monthly + bp, even with the worst possible luck aka you needing 120 char pulls and 80 weapon pulls it only costs $90 to guarantee a limited char + sig every single patch. $90 is a lot but then you have Hoyo where with the worst possible luck you're looking at $150 just to guarantee a character (assuming pull income of 90 there). Throw in another whooping $300 for the weapon. This is all worst possible luck of course. You will need far lower in both cases in reality. But the cost ratio remains, AKE is much cheaper than Hoyo system for medium spenders.
i just told u
no like
ehh
what the fuck do you do from 0
huh
after an early pull
last time i checked i dont explode
3 a year is not real
i just slap different weapon
lucksacking doesnt count
where do u get the 80 pulls
3 a year?
are you going to pull for pots
Which is yeah explode
a 6-star gives 2000
Its ass
a 5-star gives 200
R-9?
and to guarantee we need 80 pulls
what the heck means R-9?
i mean ur not supposed to get them easy as f2p
its a luxury thing
so save up
just like how you need to save up 120 to guarantee a char
ya what if u get the character turbo early
You're more or less screwed if you're f2p. But if you're a spender you can simply purchase weapon pulls for origeometry. For spenders, it's always better to get character as early as possible even if you've 0 weapon pulls saved up and need to go to 80 over going to 120 character pulls and then purchasing the remaining weapon pulls.
imo, chaining up banner worth more rather than fully saving and not pulling anything each banner
chaining up is by pulling until 60
and stop
i did notice
the pity for weapon doesnt reset when u get it early
atleast not after the first pity
yea you probably wanna get 10 pull on next one at least
w.e how much are weap pulls anyway ill just do that
1980 iirc per 10
for op
also what the heck means r9 next to weapon
if u need the calculation tho
https://www.reddit.com/r/ArknightsEndfield/comments/1qw0xvy/daisychaining_gacha_banners/
It'll get better for the big spenders eventually as well. People forget incidents like the Staff of Homelessness in early Genshin when banners where far more predatory.
I don't think 10 pulls are worth losing a spark. Averages and amortized rates are nice but reality is losing consecutive 50/50s is going to suck.
mid
best pog gear?
losing 50/50 doesnt make ur next 6 star guaranteed in this game, so.....
it suck, but from pull perspective, u get more
the weapon system is weird in this game
but i can live with it
only problem is the lack of income for it
fortmaker
i was happy why my 6* that were off banner
Yes but strictly speaking you will win half your 50/50s over the long term. Or even 64/36 if you count the off-rate limiteds as a win.
real
both for weapon and for chars
its ok just hit weap on first 10 pull after the character
Me with P7 laev having only lost 2 5050's. Yes, I agree.
not frontiers?
p7?
fortmaker is the weapon, gear is in pins #team-build
so sorry
inst max pot 6?


holy shit lol
I still think saving for spark is the obvious way to go
Ps
i got 2 laev dupes past her potential 5 to get last rite signature of the aic shop
No you can't use oroberyl
that conversion rate...
ehhh
what gear?
well, in the end its the bonus pull vs 120 guaranteed pull economy
pick ur posion
dude, you aware you get arsnela stuff in credit store?
I mean it would of been cheaper to just buy weapon gacha pulls you know?
brother read
Where's the dumbahh roguelike mode at least it had weapon banner pulls
Game would basically let bp + pass buyers have limited + sig per patch (again, over the long term) worth of currency if they did that lol
nah bc i get 2000 for a 6-star
so 2 weapon 10 pulls, plus a guaranteed last rite sig
w game
even if you wanted to spend you should never do primes for weapon tokens
if i went for weapon pulls, i would not have gotten last rite sig at all
my pity is 140 pulls rn
The 120 spark works in lowering your average cost of limited character over the long term. Average without spark is 106 pulls, average with spark is 84 pulls. Average with spark taking into account the free 10 pulls at 30 is 77 pulls.
pulling for laev dupes also gave me a chance at lr dupes or lifeng
and i got 1 lr dupe
making her p2
so
Me omw to pull 7 9 purple 1 yellows in a row

It's like $160 worse case to get it with weapon gacha pullls. I guess there's not a massive difference if we assume worse case?
What's $160 to get?
im confused
explain to me in detail why pulling from scratch, without the dosier bonus is better than daisy chaining
ok the reaso my 880 arclight wasnt progressing is that im potgated by leizialter p3

so purely just from the free 10 pull from the 30 pull
also i have pog sig its better than fortmaker right?
Should be 8 pulls on the weapon gacha, at least it is in pounds maybe a little more in dollars.
Nah,
Your soft pity starts at 65 increasing by 5% per pull, so you usually dont reach 80 hard pity. 30 ish pulls = 50 bucks. So for 100 bucks I got last rite guaranteed sig, and 2 10 pulls for weapon banner + all currency for 5-stars pulling each 200 weapon currency. Thats better than having to do 140 pulls on weapon banner trying to pity sig. Yea I mightve chanced a LR sig early, but how often does that happen.
Not a lot.
Its 25/75
10 pull on weapon = 20 bucks
Nope 
you also get 6* weapons like a crazy amount though
what is this convetsation about
we need to take into account the free 5 pull from login and 5 from the exchange
4% chance and only 40 hard pity
idk i wasnt tabbed in till now
whels
whaling stuff
theoretical ceiling of max dupes?
we do not need to take that into account
so what build so i use if i have pog sig
doesn't matter in this scenario
I whaled for 2 dupes of laev to get guaranteed LR sig and some weapon pulls over whaling for 140 pulls to get to LR sig pity.
one abt arsenal supply the other abt going 120 or daisy chaining
this is a hypothetical pure spending
the pog sig gets benched
People think second is better.
if fort is like p0-3 sig is probably better
wtf?
unless you lack p5 fortmaker and a thermite cutter
what ?, I was talking about pull from 0 to 120, not the top up one
but if you have thermite you're using that instead yeah
Higher prio to buy Wuling essence tickets or artifice catalysts?
oh are there two different p2w convos going

W theory channel
more or less
edge cases be edge cases
yea
like sig at p5 gives, what
35% phys dmg?
this is roughly on par with 18% atk from therm
how tf is thermite better than sig
dmg% is diluted, atk% is not
opportunity cost to increase attack over damage
everyone and their mom running swordmancer kit which has like 40% phys
Depends, you could get minimal gains from either if your luck is bad. That said I assume you're considering getting Laevatains essence for her sig?
doesnt fort
Roguelike mode save us
fort does
oh thermite

but like sig buff the whole team?

so does thermite
yea get over it
like you can run pog sig if you want
i did too and found out 5m later fort was better
its not like any content is hard enough for it to matter
i'm about to do this shit again when i replace valiant with mountain bearer
playing phy be like
so what set do i use with pog sig
LAST RITE SUPREMACY
same as with thermtie
frontiers ig?
$160 to get 80 pulls on the weapon gacha?
Long-term speaking, you will get ~30 (29.9 iirc) weapon pulls per limited character you pull (avg arsenal tickets per pull come out to be 77, raised massively thanks to 2000 per 6 star). Battlepass gives 12, weeklies give 3. That leads us to 46 pulls. However, average cost of a limited sig is actually 51 pulls, so reality is:
Over the long term, you'll be short 5 weapon pulls aka 6 character banner pulls worth of origeometry to get both limited + sig, putting total cost of limited + sig in this game at a whopping ~84 pulls worth of origeometry only. Can't emphasize enough, but these are averages over the long term. For example, you have a ~50% chance to hit 80 pity on weapon banner anyways, so relying on averages here is a bad idea. But good to know what to expect over a year or two.
can they add another bp tier im stretched thin after building my phys team
did you do the roadmap?
no one else in physical can use frontiers other than pog tho?
๐ญ
the flowchart for selector ?
no
i lost faith in team build channel
no point doing it if im not sending it there
what goes on there


I've been considering 4x refreshing at this point 

is it fluorite and ember
also like frontiers help him recover sp more often no?
if you're a regular in this channel i trust your intelligence enough to understand what's good for your account, or ask if its close
you dont need a flowchart
frontiers doesnt let him fit another combo into the rotation even with p5 cd reduction
and frontiers is nerfed to shit
making it awful compared to befre
this my first gacha im so overwhelmed by all this
I imagine once you get into end-game gear & upgrading its Ulti-gain stat you'll hit the bottleneck either way.
(Unless you're fluorite)
but like why are we playing pog dps?
Its intensity
you didnt read the document


"Gacha players can't read" times 1000%
Insert pnc meme here

i'm so tired of changing pog's gear every 5 seconds bro
i saw swordmancer
please let this be the last
I CBA finding it discord is a piece of shit
nuh uh
Tangtang:
maybe you are thinking of prydwen or something!!
bonekrusha pog, xiranite pog, lynx pog, mi security pog, tide surge pog
Stop using him, problem solved. 
bro
you cant be for real
lol
o
i
assuming we get a genshin character every 78 pulls and endfield every 73 pulls and ir cost of one pull in endfield and genshin is same
for genshin you get a lim character on average assuming always 78 pulls every [78(win) + 78 + 78(lose)]/2 = 117 pulls
117 * 7 = 819 pulls
for enefield assuming i lose the 120, theres flr[(819-120)/73] = nine. you need two more copies for max pot, so 9C2 / 2^9 = 7%
to match a 50% winrate in genshin for max pot, you need ti be 7% winrate in 9 6* pulls
Iana its time to add red arrows
for example how or where do you guys get the important breakpoints for characters from? Is there a list or smth
Public execution
so which one out of the 3
Its the only way
check notes
for pog sig
What do you mean lose the 120
time to add borders
im dyslexic
i even colour coded it
should be there
Breakpoints of what?
fairs
ult? do the math ourselves
i am 'working' on a plug and play er calc but haha that sucks
you need to go 120 for p0
and read that line of text
im trying to brute force it right now
that should be easy enough
"easy"
keep going
clueless
you will see the word sig
oh my god
in red
stats . just any
you dont understand
u got this
so i use bonecrusher?
how much you have to hard code
just copy genshin ERC

i got about 6hrs deep
problem is do you know rot length
You have a 34% chance of needing to go to 120.
manual input
this effect seems kinda bad no?
So I've been using Endmin/Pog/Chen/Ardelia, maybe switch to Fire/Laev?
ok do you see the icon next to the bonecrusher chestpiece
the hourglass
that means that we are using the bonecrusher piece with ult efficiency
Essentially you look take a look at all the equations the game uses to calculate bonuses based on stats and %s from amps, etc. since the game gives you the actual breakdown. From there you can see which gear (and artifices) and essences compliment that unit's stats in relation to their kit. Depending on the role an op has on your team, you change the gear to supplement it.
im running on assumptions so yeah 7% * 34% = 2.34% to lose and go two for nine in 819 pulls
then, we do the same, and find the xiranite hands with will
poncho or heavy armor?
but if you want to assune something else go. its not bad to always crosscheck what other people have surmised
then, we artifice the efficiency on both of those pieces

the one that matches the icon
both matches
Fym both
oh they look too similar
one does not
okok i se
yes
When artificing gear does the chance of success drop between tier 1/2/3 upgrades?
would take me awhole week prolly finding a optial rotation, gear pieces, weapons, what potentials would increase my dmg output the most, etc if I do all the math for that myself. I dont get how you guys do it honestly
so umm which 3 piece effect does that trigger?
we dont use any
neurodivergence
because it doesnt do anything for us
whaa
basically, frontiers is bad and not worth it
we only have two criteria we need to meet
I feel like it does. 1st upgrade always comes fast, but 3rd upgrade is a mirage.
but no 3 pc effect seems to suck 
the explanation as to why is on the same page
if you really wanted to
do you see the set with 2x xiranite
you can take that, and replace one of the kits with xiranite core(with ult efficiency)
and use that
can you proc xiranite 3pc?
it will be a bit lower output but it will be comfortable
no
but you can get the 1k hp
bru
so I have to be neurodivergent to play gachas 
you can go back to set 1
with bonecrusher and xiranite hands
and then artifice the ult efficiency
and leave it there
u can let the people do it for u
so op
and just use it with sig
I know it might be difficult
but physical is going through some rough times currently
No just braindead and stupid because I don't know why we tolerate this genre and monetization that warps even gameplay systems to be worse off
what? play the game?
If your career or education in any way has you doing arithmetic or requires a basic understanding of statistics you can easily do all the numbers crunching
hmm this build will give what?
do the math
like will it change the rotation a lot
whats happening?
this gives a little less than enough efficiency to get ult every full rotation with 2 combos and 6 team skills
the actual threshold is 52.6
but we can be a little bit below it
this is gacha so theres nothing we can do other than pull in a disciplined fashion 
you can read the sheet to find out why
but im dyslexic
we have some charge to help the rotation
this isnt like a PVP centric game where youd see balance changes here and there
you wanna do it? 
what if my team is pog lifeng chen ardelia?
almost all o fyour damage should come after breach
ok first
why do you not have a da pan or endmin
no ill sit here and watch since i have lab in 14 minutes 
i cant do endmin because i cant survive without healer
Exactly. You don't have to engage with the gacha system to do all the PvE content. The system is just a part of the game's overall identity as a way to hook a player to the game for a long time.
So all the number crunching to minmax gear and stats is all for fun
idk im a cs grad and dont find it all that easy
ok well you need one of the two for physical to really do anything so you gotta either cut ardelia or this isnt really going to work out
lab 
i thought pog consumes the vuln stacks
physical needs an outlet for the stacks that deals damage and those are the only two we have
he does it to apply breach yes
Like I said earlier the game gives you the formulas it uses for how stats effect a characters DMG and other outputs, etc. You can just put it all into python and run sims on it pretty easily
It don't
otherwise we're just leaving a ton of stuff on the table
i thought chen does the damage
pog can also do damage right?
cause otherwise we're just sitting there and do nothing with them
pog can be given damage gear but it's not good
his personal dmg is quite low
you want someone to crush the stacks you get after you breach
he can but it can be better to build him for a fully supportive role and offload damage to a crusher (endmin, panda)
building a programm thats simulates rotations you mean?
where do you get stacks after you breach?
crush dmg multi is a crazy n750% on 4stacks
same as usual, lifeng, chen
lifeng skill
chen combo
da pan ult
lifeng ult
Simulates how the swapping gear, etc will affect a characters outputs and then yeah how it affects in a full team rotation
man da pan really does make vuln stacking that much easier huh
all their skills rly
currently i have this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vC6E28yPxMGF0YHkYeDwBqfpICBM8d0W9KgYWp2Ptbg/edit?usp=drivesdk
yeah two stacks for 1 sp once every big rtoation
okay yeah I thought about doing that. mby I should to get a better feeling for things
orr should i kick lifeng and take ember from selector tmr?
and two from ult
wait wiat
wait
ok so like
due to me playing ccb arclight i wasnt able to flesh this out for now
you can do custom rots and gear with it but ehh
you should never really be going out of your way to pick ember at the moment
if they really wanted to
Since the game tells you how a main stat increase a characters DMG you can just extrapolate the raw percentile. The game tells you the cumulative DMG calc equations it uses too so.
but lifeng p1 
and the only thing she is good at is making you not die
if you feel like you need that
I could do the code myself but my brain is fried when I have free time at the end of the day
but like lifeng needs to get kicked if i want healing?
then you certainly could do it
physical cries if it has to kick any of its 4
basically
i cant play the game with 0 sustain
Just dodge 
i mean what content are you having trouble with
overworld enemies cause i accidentally leveled my world lvl too high for the pulls before raising my chars
Is ember really that bad? She is an extra phys vuln stack at worst on combo skill no?
you did this?
lower it or wait for the update
p sure they nerfed overworld enemies
or smt
The endmin/pog/chen is a decent but sp hungey core
so whats the best physical team with sustain?
If that is how you feel about sustain then you could honestly take ember, at least her combo applies stacks
it's better than ard
yes but with all the two million ways of how dmg to a character is determent it gets kinda convoluted
if you really could not play without a healer
then ember is probably the best way to go
the real problem is that phys team uses SO MANY SWORDS
There's a healing item that your supports can give to your main op
Wait what's the cd on it if it has one
The combat heal items? Those are limited more by number you can carry than cooldown
One of these days if my insomnia prevents me from sleeping at all I'll prolly just try to make a neat reference sheet for it all
so bye bye lifeng?
you could also start farming
I mean u can have 12 healing items lol
Do u need more than that in the overworld
and that is significantly better than any factory healing item
i do 3 healing 1 res
๐ญ if underlevelled for a boss refight, it hurts
again, if you really feel like you cant play without a healer your only choice here is going to be ember
just know that it's really not good at all
Humble Ardelia ult
Just dodge
Umbral disables tacticals but it's umbral so ๐ฟ
I hear they enabled it
Surely umbral phase 2 doesn't get soloed by a laev running in circles
dam I have LR and pog already this selector is kinda just existing huh?
lifeng
We pray it gives 2k arsenal tickets as well
God I hope so that would actually be really nice
0.1% chance though
i went searching and couldnt find any reference
so might be bait
I just read it randomly too so dunno
Maybe they enabled for normal mode and disabled for agony
so for the team pog chen endmin ember, do i still go that funny build on pog
with endmin and no lifeng you really want more charge
so take set 1
and replace one of the kits with xiranite core with efficiency
and then just leave it
Time to do phase 1 laev solo with only left and right clicks

yes im sure that will not be hard against stationary enemeis
charge for what?
or will be hard
ultimate
for the sarcasm
i dont think pog ult give stacks tho?
Isn't the last 3 mobs the worms, without tacticals it's going to kick up a storm
Worms
And twins
i thought it gives sp after you do all the skills

it gives you some in the middle and more at the end
but regardless
youre going to get all of the SP
and you want more SP
because endmin is hungry
Worm telegraph in melee always feels fucked
I think I recognize 4 of the 5... Laev, Gilb, Ardelia, Pogranichnik(?)... who is the one in the middle behind Progranichnik?
for example how I imagine it is, that it would be easy to write smth that just gives out the character stats when switching items etc but writing smth that shows you if its worth to swap from gear with higher dmg to ger with lower dmg but therefore some effect that gets applied on the enemy for example isnt since that would maybe then effect the entire rotation or even change the chsracter comp so youd need to write a rotation simulator for that which already sounds a bit harder to do. ykwim? But maybe im just overcomplicating idk this is my first game of this kind that im playing
aurora
or snowshine
Anything telegraph on surtr is fucked i cant see anything
Which leads to the most interesting point in patch notes that we got imo. They're updating tells for enemy attacks.
The red flash for big enemies is OK but for the rest especially with Laev's red vfx spam it's basically invisible
Flamethrower on its way to still be a pain in the ass
do NOT do the red eye flash before every attack
What about blue ๐ฃ๏ธ

customisable flash?!
Colour wheel flash
Ah no the white flash actually has a reason to exist

yes but im already modifying one
this isnt made from the ground up but its my cook
cool stuff
can i replace both kits with effiency
more efficiency wont do anything for you at this point
and will just make his breach not as good
the goal is to do a 4 stack crush while his breach is on the enemy
so long as you have the SP to do that you dont need any more
and you might as well make the breach bigger
so the best build is 3 ult eff + 1 arts?
yeah as I described earlier
that will feel nice for you
with sig
and you wont need to artifice
hmm but which gloves am i using?
xiranite ones with will
theres one with will
You would have to a web-structure pretty much which yes is a bit complex but it would be a fun endeavor
so, since were getting a 6* selector and i can now get lifeng, was thinking of building this, but i have 3 questions...
1: i do have thermite cutter, but its on akekuri for laev, should i remove it and add it there
2: i have 0 of the other 6*s there atm, is it worth it buying of them on the shop when theyre available (i have lots of arsenal pulls)
3: is it worth it based on the other 2 questions
well it's not like we need 2nd team rn
nothing stopping you from just taking
the thermite cutter
want to build a 2nd one, be prepared for it and it seems fun to play
and laev is already finished so, nowhere to go with resources
Like if I'm making a DMG calc then I would first do a breakdown of how much the main stat affects DMG output and skills, then on top of that I would add on the way different gears affect that as well. So you would have baseline (raw) + additive stats and then separately you would have the overall equations (which the game provides for bonuses, etc.) as the net output.
fun? 
i
well what Im saying is you can just take the thermite cutter it's fuckin fine
i'm gonna get lifeng due to having sig
and lifeng really wants one of those 6* weapons
either of them are significantly better than the 5*
do the other 2 want it?
chen with sundering is fine
da pan with canal is fine
you dont need to go out of the way for their weapons
wait not valiant is sig for lifeng?
mountain breaker?
wait not valiant is sig for lifeng?
mountain breaker?
i c, i assume it will pop up in the weekly shop at some point, one of them anyways
but is it worth it to go for it rn? based on what i said
mountain bearer is so cracked
I was a neuroscience researcher. The amount of stats I was doing was a lot but it was fun to do.
rapid ascent is not really worth it
Yea u gotta pull on their banner for sig weapons
(it is his sig)
high dupe sundering
is actually better than p0 rapid ascent
and even if exemplar was in the shop Im not sure I would buy it
is 41+ art intensity bad tho?
it seems really low
i wonder if mountain bearer is the best weapon to have dupes of
you could have more but it's fine
lol
sorry, i meant building the 2nd team
if you wanted more you would have to start artificing
I mean that's what
you were asking about, no?
weapons for phys
if you have canal just put it on da pan and it's fine
But sundering is an ugly sword
exemplar is not THAT much better

mountain bearer only gets really cracked at p3 tho right
just send feedback in survey every patch asking for transmog lmao
alr, thanks!
ill just move valiant to estella when i get p3
gotta wait for weekly refreshes then
whatever ig
estella ๐ฅฒ
i already wasted mats on pog sig
where do i get more
ok so
but the obj razorhorn....
the chest and hands in that set
if you artificed the efficiency on them
you could replace the xiranite kit with another one from hot work
and get some more intensity
but for ember + endmin making sure the cycling is good is very important
neither has support capabilities and i already have etched essence on lvl 80/90 valiant
do you think sundering likes being a boxcutter
how do i artifice
so
think about how sundering feels
do u use xira for lifeng instead of swordmancer in endmin/pog/chen
also how do i cycle with that team im so confused cause you said its for handless people
ic
Let us melt it down into something else
in the nicest way possible, if you are not at a stage where you know what this is, you should stick to the set with more ult efficiency
first get enemy to 4 stacks
you can do this with chen skill and combo
ember combo
then use pog skill to apply breach
once chen combo comes off cooldown do that again
put 4 stacks on the enemy
and use endmin to eat it this time
then start that all over again
you are probably going to be pressing chen skill a lot
if you are in fight where cycling is important probably yeah
lol
it is what it isโฆ
dmg% my behated
my chars are like maxed out
hard to believe
wait skills are m1
for long term then it seems xira would be better? dailies are kinda wtv and i dont wanna artifice two dif sets for him
just look up a video on artificing or something
ok so the thing is
I wouldnt be artificing for physical rn
just last week
we had like 3 massive changes
2 limited weapons or ~40% additional stamina for an entire year. Which would you guys pick?
to gearing
what changes?

I'm praying there's another gear batch in wuling 
but xiranite
is probably a safer bet
just do ult efficiency first
and even if the sets change
The surveys heavily implied they're trying to assess if that's something the players can accept
you'll probably be able to reuse them somewhere
so i just go 3 xiranite + 1 hot work kit?
yeah that will work for you
andn then just go watch a video on artificing or something
wait or do i just not use hot work cause xiranite cape gives art intensity
cause now i lose bonekrusha ult gain
Fuck me 
if i shouldnt be artificing what do i do for pog lol, using thermite or fortmaker both want artificed sets
more gear is better as long as its not a gear tier
I mean, the general tone I got was that they want to move forward with what players like, not as a "can we get away with this"
i use sig
Like if they want more gear farm or less or whatever
dawg i dont have his sig
should i pull on this for phys team + wulfgard? 5 out of the 7 weapons i want
just if its worth it
Artificing will become easier over time as we get more wuling factory
Weapon pulls are extremely valuable, save them for limiteds
like is this a safer bet?
i c, but if mountainbearer or valiant comes in the weekly shop, should i get it for lifeng? (its extremely cheaper that way)
