Chat derailment time
yall can still theorycraft around my message smh
How did Bozo become widespread
Bro is losing it
goddamn Technoblade?
ive been awake for 19 hours maybe thats it
Probably
i blame my cats and wife
Nothing coffee cant fix
I still got some fix u want
keep us in chat kthree. throw some theories so we can craft
Kthree still on about offtopic
Do we actually know how much ultimate charge stew gives
Its a lost cause kthree
well shit
Because that’s probably something you have to factor in now don’t you
do we ever expect anything good from kthree
you just made me realize i can test between ult charge food & pure dmg food
Hes nice
Ill give him that
i might even be able to put TWO slabs on my lavacake
this is on the same level as saying someone reminded you to eat food
Me being terrible in here has the side effect of me becoming less terrible at the game through osmosis

funny enough i forgot to eat dinner today so imma go do that
they call me dinner
How do you forget dinner
get it cuz im Beef
Im eating all day
they call me all day
they call me some king
And you dont have a command bozo
ok ill stop now
.mommy
Where tf is your eyja command
Beef
Peppercat
U prefer og ardelia or akef ardelia
Eyjaberry
Fair enough
What about gilb
just eyjaberry overall
Her 1st skin is better
Her idle sprite in her summer is funnier
minus maybe laev
Akef has some decent art yea
cuz that mf has no lore in ak
granted her lore in ef is that fact she doesnt remember the lore of her old self
Amogus
Her story quest was kinda dookie
Thought wulf and yvonne were better
Havent finished gilb
Wtf
personally gilbertas was the worst
Almost all recoveners have summer skins
Is it
Except hellagay and snowshine
Oof
i mean its just personal preference
Both have “winter” skins instead
i just didnt like how the whole start was just us being uber
not uber
posting service
like yeah i get what she does for endfield
but bro i aint her
True
i also dont like it when you get to do a trial version of a character
and then youre locked to a terrible team and you cant really try them
like yeah i get they have the trial stages for when there banners eixst
and that story wise it makes sense its just endmin and gilberta
but god damn
Genshin does this too tbh
said nobody ever
yeah cuz they know that if it isnt at a high dupe level
they feel like trash at least 50% of the time
weird way to spell ardelia
oh not that goat 
Citrome hf isn't bad either
ive been growing tired of buck capsule A, also wanted to stop wasting them so i can sell more
whats the formula for it? havent unlocked it yet
if it needs bottles, i cant use those
Highest tier for citrome
all my ore is used for buck capsule and batteries
meanwhile this thing is just plant and powder
Which plant does that powder come from again
Lemme login on mobile to show the recipe
Yazhen
i set a planter-seeder-shredder up last night
already have 40k powder
the bottleneck is just amber rice 
as much as id like to make more, the other half of my wuling farm is making ginseng
Citromix [Rf.] is a consumable item in Arknights: Endfield.
Item descriptionA blended mix made with simple filling. This one offers larger dosage and better ingredients compared to its basic counterpart.
Sorry it's citromix rf
It's not cheap but it's good for a mass producible
bottles huh, yeah nah
i mean yea its good healable, but it takes bottles which eats ore
When I ult with Endmin and break the crystal, there's 3 damage numbers that pop up. But when I ult without crystal, there's only 1 damage number. What is this other damage? Where does it come from?! 
Ult, Breaking the crystal, Ult follow up for breaking the crystal
Oh so the follow-up damage is not the crystal breaking. Guess that's what I was confused about. Thanks. lol
Chubby lungs
multiply by three
No


Bean
havent even hit a mil talm bout sum graduation smh
121% fake fan
i only stuff her w/ 3 gifts a day 
gz for p5 tho 
thanks king, i bit the bullet the last 12 hrs when i highrolled her p3
slab redeemer
just wanted p4 but lucksacc’d again
💀
its about 2.7% off the standard breakpoint so u shuffle the rotation saving combo for post ult > into rotation which hits the breakpoint
someone had a good suggestion w/ ult charge food. gonna try see if i can fit another slab & see if thats higher dmg compared to single
There’s no way Slab is better than hot work gloves no?
why would hotwork be better when ulti basic alr 230%?
is 12% arts amp and 12% arts susceptibility the same thing
Do you think he’ll be playable?
buff vs debuff, different catergory
would it result in the same dmg?
amp and susceptibility should be additive to each other so yes
I know for sure that he gotta be gay
That’s not my question man
the bl fans gonna go crazy
okay slab is mostly a meme but i feel like its just correct if youre p5/p5
theres no reason to run hot work instead if youre just spamming ult and ebatks
Shouldn’t it multiply? One is on self on on enemy
you have a literal 210% dmg+ buff
do yk if bosses have built in defense/resistance? wonder if thats a thing where susc can shred that
yeah its under explored for p5/p5 which is why earlier I was looking for other lavacakes to test with. she literally only needs to ba the entire time & use the free sp to debuff w/ clannibal + ardelia
so far my fastest clear on marble agge is sub2 but i’m wondering if it can hit 130
my sups only 60s & not fully arti’d
idgaf abt speedrunning but its literally just better for daily content over double redeemer ime
consistently higher damage hits and you regen ult immediately anyway
i dont like bskill in gilb bc it kills stacks and laevs swings are big enough to just hit everything anyway
maybe i should since im p3 on her
idk
if you run kuri & wulf
hopefully they will release his banner so that i can skip and save up for more waifu banners, if they take the wuthering waves route by spamming waifu banners im gonna quit
you can get full stacks post gilb skill since it groups
ik but thats sloooooow
i need to run over to that group of jobbers right after :(
that'll take like 3 seconds dontcha know :(
well tbf if you gilb skill, wulf skill, wulf combo, it applies combustion(corrosion if you dont time it right), which combo lavacake hits all the mobs
which gives u a ton of ulti charge
I hope too, he’ll drop some lore in voice lines 
considering how many husbandos they released off the rip, i’m sure they’ll have husbando releases
go see wuthering waves banner, all waifu banner, i might as well play Nikke or uma musume
unironically i do think ardashir will be very popular
ardashir has 0 reason to be playabke anytime soon
yeah im talking about this game not those
as much as i love him he should stay in npc jail for a while
we alr have more male characters on this than any of them had day1
yeah fs, not till s3-5 probably
only reason im still playing is cuz the sanity refills is super long, takes about 40hrs+ to refill unlike wuthering waves and genshin impact
when we become buddies & fight the bigger bad
walterer
double u becomes single u
w -> u
ngl i kinda like that sanity is really hard to overcap
awesome so i assume arknights balances out waifu and husbando banner?
same
currently the last two limiteds here in arknighrs were men
but maybe that half sanity event really alleviates this
hopefully they give more sanity pots to makeup for it
one is fucking strong, first limited vanguard
ontop of monthly ye
not the worst
good, means waifu collectors in that game gets to save 2 period of banners
the other one is a "lets see what wang can do"
the og wolfdaddy
its not as bad as others imo
(psuedo) limiteds here dont operate like in genshin if you havent known yet
not as good as og ak either
we have banner downtimes sometimes
majority of gachas cater to the gooners after all
one week is unheard of in something like genshin ever
so safe to assume bosses dont have defense #s? just hp eh
yeah
did we have pen stat ?
sakiko sakiko sakiko
we got thorns death scene in 2 days
or is it the suscept things
defense pen? not yet afaik
mhmm so if thats the case i wonder if theyll introduce a pen stat or if arts susc is the pen stat
we dont have DEFENSE pen
yeah
we have resistance reduction however
or maybe itll be specifically “reduce defense” on a future debuffer
resistance reduction ?
corrosion yes
so just a damage bypassing the armor ?
(elemental) resistance
oh
yep
specific ones
not defense
usually element is already omitted
corrosion is a universal resistance reduction
currently can assume all enemies have 0 resistance, so they receive 100% damage from abilities
I'm actually surprised this game doesn't have a daily stamina login thingymajig
it does
For free?
your daily activity lol
we got 1 stamina booster
yes
it does on monthly too
you get 40 san free a day
Oh I have never noticed wtf
arknights doesnt
genshin doesnt
blue archive does
honkai star rail doesnt
limbus doesnt
Dude I'm so out of it
is the calculation similar to pen in other games
for now yes
I mean, is there a different pen calculation tho
can see that being why arts susc is additive rather than multi
1 - RESENEMY + RESIGNORE
i havent tested it yet so i might be misinfo
theres a damage calc doc here sent so you migjt want to refer to that
hard to test w/o a dummy so dont blame u
Most recent gacha I played till endfield was CZN and it had a +80 stamina refill or condensed +60 up to 4 days max
「Endfield Damage Documentation」 Credit: 666bj Original Document Translated: sten Hi it’s sten, not everything in this list is 100% accurately translated and may contain some content that is not mentioned in the game (yet). The main importance of this document is to understand how much damage th...
blue archive has
100 energy on login(50 back then)
50 energy on library(daily)
920 energy daily from cafe
disregarding energy potions from sora's shop
so its not a customary thing to do
I honestly wouldn't mind a way for us to synthesize sanity in Dijiang
true damage ?
eh
is it the one in my mind rn
again funny af that they let us grow rare gatherables in dijiang
true damage is just a damage that ignore any def right
like buddy lmao those are NEVER going to be what limits you
literally applied to the hp directly
I've been playing gachas for a loooong time. It definitely was a much customary thing with 2D gachas back in the day and then the mihoyofication occured
until we know for sure, just assume true damage bypasses resistance formula and is set to 100%
they should imo
they would
It is crazy tho that the gold and purples drop x3 per individual slot in a node in Wuling tho
lets not be confused here 
i remember true damage get affected if theres a "reduced damage from all source"
Sure it takes 3 days for a node to fully grow but that's not too bad
those are cuz you need so msny of them
for the skill mats
i mean, each games implement it kinda different
Yeah but they could have been more evil about it if they wanted to be
oh like internal damage reduction type shit?
pls no
yeah, some games has that
but usually
it bypasses it
yeah like in arknighrs it bypasses it with the theredis boss fight
The only real limiting things I've had are Protoprism and the purple variants (up until I was getting level 12 stuff)
That and class exp
Yeah true DMG ignores all def, res or anything else that would normally reduce dmg
oh, then it "should" work the same then
Yeah it feels like they made the cost for upgrading skills arbitrarily high
But eh it is what it is
I guess it's their way of ensuring you come back for crumbs to build more than one team
im fine with money and exp, but im not fine when it needs 2 different things to promote op and promote weapon

the box cast thing
and the triangle thing
for weap and op
it is what it is

credits store is kinda in refresh until red rocks or arsenal tickets only mode though
and 60 to 90
for gilberta i just need to upgrade her ults right?
yeah
and dijiang skills
its the best one atm
for weap exp production
cause her heal is base on intelect
Heh,I like reading iana’s docs
See new page,first sentence:
what the fuck is physical
zhuang fangyi
Who?
so freaking close to 650 strength hnnng
jie, fifth suibling
is xaihi amp capped at 30% limit or base cryo amp + 30% limit
I can't find the combat related post in game feedback
Did it get renamed?
I was going to post saying that I now find combat to be boring
Can only do the same thing so many times before it's whatever
19+30
so r9m3 can give 60% cryo amp?
If you have 1200 int 
Is there a current best dps ?
I need the new endgame content NOW
Just play different teams.
I'm not artificing or doing essences until I've built like... 3 teams.
Is using LR as a support weird? I mean 70sp for 1 infliction and a good dmg ult, cs that can froze enemy for a second seem pretty good no?
I heard she is used for support with Yvonne.
i need yvonee team the best one at that?
yvonne xaihie gilberta whos 4th?kakekuri/ardelia/perlicia/flourite??
I do that, but it doesn’t seem like other do it as well so i am asking if i am an odd one out
You like Yvonne?
You need to use her combo skill in order to build up her ultimate with any speed at all
if your team can do that with her as a support dps, great! If not, no combo skill and ultimate for you outside of maybe the first one you farm out before the fight
(240 cost ultimate, cannot gain charge from other skills. Battle skill gives 16, combo skill is 45 +15 for every cyro infliction consumed)
Can, Yvonne BS consume infliction at 0.17s after cast, you can trigger Yvonne BS and LR CS at the same time ans Yvon still get the infliction
Mhm, that works. No cyro resistance shred sadly but it at least gives you a more reasonable amount of energy
With 4 stack, pot 1 and 31% ult efficiency, Yvon can get 0 to 220 with 1 BS 1 CS
Dayum that’s a lot of energy gain in her kit huh
A bit difficult to pull of this rotation but basically pre cast Xaihi/LR BS basic combo fs to get 1 infliction, cast LR BS again and basic combo to fs to get 2 infliction, which also trigger Xaihi CS (3 stack) and Flou CS (4 stack), Yvon BS and LR CS at the same time, yvon eat 4 stack, LR CS no stack (only for energy and cc) 1 FS from Yvon to trigger her CS, CS yvon and ult right away
These abbreviations
You're abbreviating last rite as LR?
BS is battle skill?
Just type it out
CS is combo skill
Combo "fs"?
final strike to be exact
FS final strike
Final strike 
Just type it out jesus
for complex rotations that takes a lot of time
i mean combo is kinda wrong in the context of this game since theres combo skill
some people calling combo skill just combo
Just calling it combo is better than CS
asking for a lot to someone whose alr helping explain the rotation. just learn the notations
He's also saying "basic combo to fs"
Just say final strike
or save themselves the time & energy when fs can easily be interpreter as final strike
I was afraid that people may don’t understand
doesnt take a rocket science degree to get what hes saying
Its not a "basic combo"
Its reg attack
ba/na/ba/na1234
I was tempted to call them BA but don’t know if they understand that is full combo string to FS
On the tooltips on gear im pretty sure they term it "NORMAL attack" right?
Basic works too
fs is pretty obvious referring to final strike if explaining a rotation. so is BS, CS can also easily be interpret as combo skill
Not Basic Attack? I need to recheck it 
I dont remember, basic works though
i use ba for attack sequence tho
If you just say final att ppl will know what u mean
Would i be easier to look at the timeline graph ?
ba & fs especially when explaining lavacake rotations
thats typing 5 extra words when FS covers it alr
Is this a camera picture of your screen
It looks bad bro
quit being picky when someones helping u w/ rotations. just learn the abbreviations 
It’s fine, that not really picky at all
Stop acting choosey as person assisting human alongside circles. Simply comprehend a shortened version
ur too nice raizer
why do that when less word do same thing?
They dont abbreviate tooltips in game for a reason, its confusing
Maybe i should reduce it to one rot for easier comprehension purposes
This may look too detailed
What tool are you using by the way
gl typing it all out for mr cant understand basic abbreviations
is umbral not out yet
All their names changed so
Do u mean umbral torch
LET ME IN LET ME INNNNNNNNN
The wep?
go finish RR & ch9 first
the game also uses final strike in skill tips and is inside skill desc
i think final strike is alrd explain itself what it mean
umbral monument
i'll do it later
No not yet
rr1 is so ass anyway
beta people says it easy but we wouldnt know until it comes
Itll be something for us to grind, so i approve
yeah theres no way theyll release what it was like in beta. at least im sure most ppl hope so. hard to call that an end game when its just a glorified wave simulator
if my laev team can't clear umbral it's either really difficult or maybe i'm actually just garbage at the game
we will see
your laev team will surely clear it since its waves
Open wallet
i don't even have all the trimmed medals 

you just havent tried thats all
waiting for stupid ginseng stew to get the other two
you can do it w lvl 90laev & hotworks set
and maybe giving a reason for people to pull gil
since she succ good
bruh 
tru gils value will skyrocket when umbral come out
what is the dif between wedge and artzy damage wise?
LIke 15 percent?
you can definitely trim if you do your rotations right. i trimmed w/ p1 laev & ab the same attack as yours. with kunst vial
what the hell is a rotation 🗣️🔥
20 something
In your case, ult spam
if you havent got the 2nd boss trim either, good strat is saving wulfgard ulti for p2 when they sum mobs. wulfgards aoe will combust all the mobs & you just finish off w/ lavacake combo. then ulti kill p2 into p3
i should stream my attempts so people can shit on me for being bad at the game
if ur looking for genuine advice ppl will give u that
Clip and post mp4 instead
there will always be haters so u just drown em out
no bc geting hated on irt feels better
how about now? easier to look at?
donquiote feeding on hate 
something something major arcana slave
cant beat those negative coins
Yeah, screenshot WAY easier to zoom in and read than a mobile pic of a screen lol
Gj
i'll record once i have stupid ginseng stew
and then it turns out i don't know how to play this game 💔
u rly dont need the ginseng.. but ye whenever ill give u some tips
its okay a lot of ppl dont
what matters is youll learn
just give me the tower defense game back cro

i say as if og is gonna eos soon
I like the raids too, particularly the ones you can assist with
The ones you cant help towers with are meh
Its fun fighting stuff with towers helping
Itd be fun to have more content like it
Cc 
But this Yvon rot need pot 1, i just can’t do a rot with pot 0 that is not scuff
i hope they add a boss raid stuff, be it single or multi, with tower shenanigans in it
they should add multiplayer raids 
Funny how a char can’t function smoothly without pot exist, her pot 1 energy gain should have been talent
While i like a challenge, the issue i have with "difficult" content is if they make the dps checks so high you're basically required to whale to get it done, thats how tower of fantasy was.
I like that this games content is EZ.
They should keep making content that rewards SKILL not whaling.
The quest timers or dps checks should be ez to make, SURVIVING the encounter long enough to complete it should be the focus instead.
If we lucky they copy arknights endgame
If not

Don't ask how cc would even work here
If i cant complete something because of stupid timers and dps checks, ill just play something else
They should make missions that have timer counting down and the challemge is to survive long enough
Not kill fast enough
Because that will just be a paywall problem
Potentials, particularly on weapons, make a Massive difference
But operatives potentials help dps too
And team comps, which can be another paywall problem for ppl who didnt get lucky
(Especially with signature weapons)
Dps check is ass, survival check in the other hand…..
Right? That can be really fun
Imagine if the challenge is to SURVIVE long enough with big cats and stuff trying to kill u
Waves of enemies you have to survive against, not dps check timer BS
i'm actually so bad at this game
so what's BIS gear for p5p5 laev 
@calm gazelle it's bleak
is my hot works set cooked
Just give 10 min timer and a insanely strong enemy, change the dps check to “can you survive this shit long enough to kill him?”
Right? Honestly itd be really fun AND it motivates the use of different character to gear up also
Instead of just a DPS meta
You can save the glove 
Let me see if Lae pot 5 can ditch Hot glove for slap
No one outside of texas knows what this means
it's tc chat bro ppl are well versed
lynx slab
How much gain does Redeemer give at max artifice again?
Is this an engine or do you have to like put everything
Does it caculate the best trigger time
33.4%
there's also talk abt just double slab
prolly hot work gloves and idk what armor tbh
MI security int / base atk or smth
Slap work, but double slap is troll pick, not enough gain to 1CS 1EBS 0 to 255
You can Tide armor/Xiranite glove and 1 Redemmer 1 slap
At p5p5
cuz u can hold enhanced skill for after ult for half ult charge and essentially a one cycle following
Give just enough energy to ult
Still need 1 BS and 2 CS to ult if x2 slap
So need at least 9s from end of ult 1 to get ult2
I'm jus savin catylysts for now tbh it's not like hot works is bad I'll wait for calcs to be cross checked and shi
problem is there isn't shi for p5p5 LOL
You're blocked.
LOL
Of all the names ive been called "lynx slab" is the most bizzare shite ive ever been called
Bizzare as heck texas slang
Her normal attacks, and ultimate at the very least will help
Assuming youre triggering her combo by sometimes applying arts reactions, like corrosion, combustion, electrocute, etc her combo skill should be leveled
If youre using her battle skill, you should level it too
im playing last rite with her
who would be the controlled op there anyways
Tbh, who you control is of less importance than who's battle arts youre using
i mean yeah, personal damage is nice
You should control whoever you want to spam final attacks with, or spam ult with in the case of operative like laeviatin who dont just drop something when they ult
id rather prioritize other ops skills if her personal damage doesnt matter as much
How much damage does your team do automatically attacking stuff? The full amount? Reduced?
They do no stagger and regen no SP but
Isn’t the raw damage still there
They dont proc combos with their final attacks tho
Yes, but they also do stupid AI things instead of attacking too
Seriously tho
you actually had quite a few good moments there, especially during p2 you were dodging aggeys attack sequences which is good. you have a good grasp of dodging. the main mistakes I saw were messing up some of your rotations, using ex too early & missing bc they moved, & not canceling lavacakes combo. as soon as she stabs the ground w/ her sword you dash cancel it. lavacake has a good chunk of animations you can cancel like her ulti final strike(dont cancel too early tho bc it has 2 strikes at the end). some of your kuri ults were also poorly timed, you generally want to use it behind ex special as well as prior to lava ult. other things to consider is your ardelia debuff uptime, during your biggest burst periods you didnt consume corrosion so you lost dmg out there. overall you definitely have the mechanics to trim, just need to polish rotations & be bit more patient in unloading key moves like ex special.
tents phase also need a bit of work
nah you’re doing great
idrk when to use what and especially wrt combos i see button and monkey brain says click
you’ll be surprised how those small adjustments can make a big diff in your clear
if youre determined to clear it practice it w/ kunst vial rather than stew & work on animation canceling every lava combo
be mindful of ardelia debuff when youre going into your stagger turn
i'm mismanaging my sp too i think bc i never have enough sp for ardelia skill when i have laev ult/stagger
yeah
thats alright youll figure out the timing as long as you stay patient w/ yourself
if your wolf is p5 remember you alr get x3 stacks with his ult + x2 nade & ardelia combo into lavacake combo for the 4th
he is p5 but uhhh
so can save that sp you usually use for ardelia
i'll need to see how to use him properly LOL
do you have clannibal on him?
yeah
i got it from the stupid scathe box
had to do one million pulls for a second copy
@manic blade thank you, for you delay skill recomendation of 200% Lae, i can cook up some good shit that now i have been enlight
Lae now is in Ult mode 24/7 with delay BS and CS
I can’t tell if this is irony 😭 it’s a gear piece in endfield LMAO
Been experimenting with a DPS Fluorite team and it's been a lot of fun. The run could totally be optimized more, like starting up a final strike right at the start or skipping the cutscene sooner. I'll probably come back to this once my whole team is fully built and see how fast I can clear it
Shoutout to u/ofAFallingEmpire for coming up with t...
Nah ain't no way
😭
Mfs did dps Fluorite
With p5 and multi target (and animation cancel second sequence) you can actually get an enhanced skill and another to save post ult its cracked
You can make any character do respectable damage in this game, even Perlica
u sure she ain't paired with awy
i am testing on ST situation, but you can set up for double EBS in a single ult and still have gas to EBS CS to ult
i’m p sure I mentioned that earlier when someone was flaming my p5/p5 slab/redeemer set but its actually perma ult using that delayed cs bs strat. dont need 2 seals for it
Ts has me dead just gonna insult people by calling them lynx slabs now 
Slab cult is back?
4/4 slab build hidden meta

im not bored enough for this
can you inf farm pure essence(purple tier)
or is there a limit
im sick and tired farming 3/3 flawless for supports
i just wanna get a x/x/3 purple and be done with
oh lord this open up sp because Lae is perma ult there is no need for Ake to BS
except youre not using bs in ult now
yap
this even open up for Wulf Bonekrusha that can EBS everytime Lae EBS and apply his Clan debuff
bonecrusher 
pretty much, ontop of kuri ult for sp regen if needing to fill heat. some ppl spend more time reading & theorycrafting instead of actually playing the game & testing these things like i am lmao 
my time in Endaxis and Excel is x10 the time i spare for Endfield 
is thermite or obj edge of lightness better on Arclight in Avywenna team?
youre applying it well, at some point youll just have to test it for yourself or have someone else do it
does artificing ultimate regen on hot work + Tide Fall chest do anything for laevatain
i doubt it improves rotations outside of AOE
wait only 1 ebs ewwwwwwwwwwww
the standard build 3p hot 1 tide chest?, no, it doesn't change anything
running p5/p5 ebs doesnt have as much value w/o hotworks
1s all you need & you ba the rest
you mean? isn't 1 EBS per ult good enough if you perma ult state?
ya p much
dont get hotworks buff or have high enough heat buff to outdmg the 230ba dmg boost
me when p5 sig
couldnt be me

you need 1 EBS and 1 CS to quickly get back to ult state, so you have to delay 1 EBS, if you greed for 2 EBS then you wouldn't have enough for rot after
p much
nah not sp problem heat stack problem
as you can see the sp is pretty good even that i use Wulf EBS every time Lae EBS
now i am more interested in potential of sub dps Wulf

now you lost me there
id rather call double slab p0 good
if EBS every Lae EBS, that is bonus 1000% dmg, what can i cook with this
does wulf have the stats to make use of that? 😭
1000% dmg x 0 is still 0
im jp but keep cooking king
who knows u might unlock something new
i need to find a suitable gear set
era of 237% ER Wulf is dead with Lae p5 perma ult

goodluck
cant wait to see what u cook up w/ that tomorrow
i can actually try test it if u want
there is no good str/agi piece wtf
is there a difference between "DMG Dealt Bonus" and "DMG Bonus"? the wording makes it seem like the way theyre calculated is different
The Calculation Hierarchy
1. DMG Bonus (Attribute/Type Specific)
This usually refers to bonuses tied to a specific element (e.g., Flame DMG Bonus) or attack type (e.g., Basic Attack DMG Bonus).
How it works: These are typically additive with other bonuses of the same category. If you have two gear pieces giving +10% Flame DMG, you get a total of +20% Flame DMG.
Formula Position: It modifies the base damage stat before most external multipliers are applied.
2. DMG Dealt Bonus (Final Multipliers)
This is often a "Global" or "Final" modifier. It usually appears in talent descriptions like "Increases DMG dealt to enemies by X%."
How it works: In many modern Action-RPGs (which Endfield draws inspiration from), "DMG Dealt" acts as a separate multiplier at the very end of the calculation.
The Math: If you have 100 base damage and a +50% DMG Bonus, you deal 150. If you then add a +10% "DMG Dealt" bonus, it takes that 150 and multiplies it by 1.1, resulting in 165.
The short answer, yes theyre calculated separarely meaning you can have multiplicative gains combining them rather than additive gains
But in this game the biggest gains come from debuffs on enenies multiplicatively interacting with all your buffed damages of various kinds
You can get your additive multipliers such as +combo DMG, or +Ult DMG quite high
When those big modifiers hit enemies that are debuffed, the interaction is multiplicative not just additive so you end up with huge gains

DMG Bonus (The "Additive Pile")
This category includes Elemental DMG (Flame, Ice, etc.) and Ability DMG (Battle Skill, Combo Skill, Ultimate).
The Rule: All bonuses within this bracket are additive with each other.
Example: If you have +20% Ice DMG and +20% Battle Skill DMG, and you use an Ice Battle Skill, your total multiplier for this bracket is 1 + 0.20 + 0.20 = 1.40 (a 40% increase).
But dmg dealt is a multiplier
Here
That image should make it clearer
dmg dealt and dmg bonus usually means like same stuff, different way of telling
thanks for the in-depth explanation, really appreciate it
unless endfield has it differently
It does in fact
can i see raw damage calculation that its indeed rhat
this shit just making it more confusing
That image is the formula lol
I know its a formula, but can i see actual calculations
Like this should be additive to alr existing dmg
ill test
This article explains the mechanics of damage calculation in Arknights: Endfield.
i know how to calculate damage, but thanks regardless for the initiative to help 
So what's your question?
No, same bonus. Additive
You can check your character sheet after activating ultimate.
Rank 9 has 117% scaling
I have 5293 attack
Enemy has 0.5 def mult
I have 25.6% dmg%
1.17 * 5293 * 0.5 * (1 + 0.256 + 1.2) = 7604.77068
Why + before ( ?
1.17 * 5293 * 0.5 plus??? (1 + 0.256 + 1.2) = 7604.77068
I thought that the ians’s “it does” refers to “that” being dmg% = dmg dealt, instead of it being different
Oh it should be mult
defense
The way it was written, the math didn't match the damage formula.

Oopsies
I said 3 + 2 = 6
Which would be correct if it were 3 *2 which was my intention to begin with
anyhow
I keep getting conflicting ideas from dif people
so how STRONG is the wedge on yvonne?
Since many have stated that prydwen's calc is flawed
will you take our word for it though
The "Strength" by the Numbers (Max Level/Potential)
If you have a high-potential Wedge, the numbers are massive because they stay active for 15 seconds, easily covering Yvonne's entire Ultimate burst window:
Passive: +33.6% Arts DMG Dealt
On Battle Skill: +22.4% Arts DMG Dealt
On Arts Reaction: +44.8% Arts DMG Dealt
TOTAL: +100.8% Arts DMG Dealt
The Verdict: Because this +100% is a multiplier and not an additive bonus, it effectively doubles all the damage Yvonne is already doing with her base stats and gear.
These numbers i used AI to pull so take with a grain of suspicion, probably accurate though
What do u think rossi’s element would be im betting with my friend i bet for nature and he bet for fire icl i might be cook but i wanna cope that arknights dont release another fire character as soon
As Cel linked earlier from the wiki, you can see there are a LOT of different effects you can use to get multipliers stacking, so the fact that its "dealt" instead of additive, isnt THAT big of a deal, but it is in fact good
I expect rossi to be phys
Damn so my gilberta would be useless until fangyi comes out
Gilberra isnt useless at all
But tangtang would be phys right
I hope that she is Phys, but it's sort of unsubstantiated, so hope it is
Aint no way they releasing 2 phys characters
She's quite good but you have to play her a certain way when combining her with different operatives
I mean i have a team wit avy with their bis including the supports but still not a 6 star
For example if you pair her with ardelia, you should not use gilbertas battle art.
Ardeliaa (and perlicas) combo skills proc gilbertas combo skill.
But if you use gilbertas battle skill, you cant proc ardelias combo to begin with
ohh i see
but still kinda useless to upgrade her currently cos i alr have my lae team
hopefully we get use of 2nd teams soon
So itll be worthwhile upgrading
Gilbertas combo will proc whenever an arts reaction occurs on any enemy.
Whether you did it by combining 2 different arts inflictions, or by "forcing" an arts reaction like combustion or electricute or corrosion to happen
Gilberta can work with lae, she applies combustion
But theres operatives that help lae more
is lae better with ardelia or gilberta
Ardelias buffs to team, heals, corrosion and suscept on enemies, overall i think helps lae a lot more than gil does
The squirrel girl is practically a requirement for lae too i think
Squirrel girl with cutter means sp regen, link damage, and buff from weapon
Link damage is another separate multiplicative effect btw
That's a Shiba Inu mate
Ain't no squirrels here
Shes a squirrel i dont care
It's a Shiba inu
I dont use her or lae lol
Ake? That a dog bro 
But yes she's crazy good for a low rarity operative
Shiba Inu
Don’t disrespect my red doggo
it seems like pure essence either doesnt have a limit or limit is extremely high
faming ts every day now ig
I typed squirrel girl arknights endfield into google look what popped up
Lmfao
Google knows
That's a fucking Shiba inu
Google this, Google that, why don't you go back in time and read a book.
I speed read, ive read many books
I retained it long enough to ace classes
Lomg
Im on mobile i typo a Lot
Mid
I dont like yvonne but when i saw that i laughed
Ardelia and Gilberta are my fav characters, Perlica is one of my fav too
I agree with that statement
Perlica is really good if you max her and oblivion, and stick her in +arts intensity gear.
Electricution buffs damage nicely
For all arts dmg
Its not that big at first till you get a lot of + arts intensity

Im gonna go buzz off and play some more endfield, just explore tf out of it
Finish my valley abberant stuff too
You can get her +ult damage quite high even when she's +arts intensity focused and the interactions between that and ardelias buffs and debuffs are very nice even in early-late game
Theorycrafting?
Maybe
Do you believe that life on earth originated on earth?
Panspermia theory says no
You know what I give up
Life on Talos II didn't originate on Talos II either
Well no shit sherlock
Oh
Sounds nice
Yes
if I'm using Gilb as Laev support (+ Ake Wulf) is this better than Stanza
My theory is @fallen breach stfu I can actually rest and chill
Mayhaps
Tiny microscopic organisms are what all life on earth is made of, including us humans.
We're a collective, each of us.
And the organisms that comprise us can live in Space, survive on the moon, etc.
Lmao
True story
Is Laeva/Wulf/Antal/Ardelia not good or smth?
I'm reading the sheets and I thought the set that he and Ardelia use don't stack? Should I be placing a different set?
No rest and chill for u
You still spelt shit wrong
I edit it and fix
it's good but most ppl favor Akekuri over Antal
Laev isn't a burst type so rotation > numbers
I'm just exploring every option is all 😅
Your fine
That's my current one rn yes
The link damage modifier is a big deal when it happens
Antal is fine but usually you want Arde to hold the Xiranite set so you give Antal sth else
Crits are also a different modifier btw, +50% base, the problem is the rate they occur isnt really high enough to justify focusing on it usually theres better options
Currently my main team is Laev, Wulfgard, Akekuri and Ardelia
But i'm building my Ember team as my fav team
I can see the situations where Gilb is preferred over Arde
Some situations yeah I guess.
Me with my Pot 2 Arde
👍
Im pot 4 Ardelia and free2play lol
Better than nothing I suppose
Who tf asked

You possibly might make me more angry than damn bosses in elden ring
And none of them made me angry
The game gave me nothing except Ardelia this whole time thus far,
But when gilberta came up i used all my free stuff, got her and last rite now
Cause she's the GOAT
I really am glad, i love Ardelia
Fangyi is probably gonna be the first electro 6* right?
Prob
Good chance actually
I like last rite too but i cant really make a good team with her yet so she's just chillin in my spaceship
Sarkaz Hater
- she has originium cancer so
LR Xaihi Perlica Ardelia
there's your LR team

all u need is Xaihi and LR sig
the rest are free
I dont want her to infect my operatives
(note the LR sig part is pretty important)
Save me.
still havent cleared marble?
Yeah i dont have last rites sig wep yet either so
I hope the Ursus government captures you and lists you as a infected
I got it hours ago
deym
I use Gilberta actively, i spam Ardelias battle art, perlica and endmin are there for combo skill spam and ults
Theres my proof Hifumi
ugh
oripathism in the year of our lord Talos-170
instead of doing anything productive
ive worked out that
if you want to do pog main dps for some reason
his best option
is critset
with 1 slab
isnt that insane?
Last rite wears a wig she lost all her hair treating originium cancer
one of us 🤝

Did you just use a whale emote
what
gib math
is it a shock that trying to force a non dps unit into a dps role relies on crit crutch? not really
yinglung is so much worse than I thought
I want to say some words, but for my wellbeing. I am not going to say them.
Nah every character CAN do good dps
and birds can walk, but why would they
how do you proc clannibal with wulfgard?
so just the ult?
...
whenever combustion or corrosion is on the target, use his enhanced skill to consume it
ah
Ostrich, Emu, Southern Cassowary, Northern Cassowary, Dwarf Cassowary, Greater Rhea, Lesser Rhea, North Island Brown Kiwi, Little Spotted Kiwi, Great Spotted Kiwi, Okarito Brown Kiwi, Southern Brown Kiwi, Kakapo, Takahe, Emperor Penguin, King Penguin, Adélie Penguin, Chinstrap Penguin, Gentoo Penguin, Little Blue Penguin, Magellanic Penguin, Galápagos Penguin, African Penguin, Humboldt Penguin, Macaroni Penguin, Royal Penguin, Rockhopper Penguin, Fiordland Penguin, Snares Penguin, Erect-crested Penguin, Yellow-eyed Penguin, Greater Roadrunner, Lesser Roadrunner, Secretary Bird, Kagu, Weka, Guam Rail, Inaccessible Island Rail, Trumpeter, Great Bustard, Kori Bustard, Australian Bustard, Wild Turkey, Common Pheasant, Ring-necked Pheasant, Himalayan Monal, Greater Sage-Grouse, Red Junglefowl, Domestic Chicken.
All of these birds walk more than they fly.
......
it works for main dps wulf
but if you're using him as a support for laev you basically never get to proc it
yeah i was just wondering that cause cant seem to be able to proc it
there are plenty of times you can proc it on laev comps, its just bad to for most of those cases
enhanced skill on wulf does not generate a heat infliction stack
so
one pog, one ake
one thermal cutter, one fortmaker
who holds which
why not therm on both
Ake with cutter
because I don't have two cutters
On pog id use something to boost his individual contribution probably
What do they recommend in build guides for him?
thermite > fortmaker >= sig
Oh yeah fortmaker
also can I just say thermite on pog looks kinda stoopid
we have no content anytime soon that requires locking gear onto one unit
sig obv looks best but at least fortmaker doesn't look out of place
maybe not ever
I heard Pog sig isn't the best for him either from other places
On a phys team you'd use his signature wep i think
why Xaihi combo skill triggers not during first final strike but second one? i use both Last Rite and Xaihi skill during first combo but her combo skill triggers on second final strike am i missing something here ?
Eminent repute?
Do we have a confirmation that both chen are related somehow?
somewhat yes
No idea for me
They're both clones
endfield chen's mother is implied to be the current wielder of chi xiao
Oh, I wonder when we'll be getting Chen alter in endfield if that's how you would call it
We better not
goober chen is a descendant of og chen
Where's my fish team
hard to say if we'll get alters or not since its a different genre
Where's the damn proof
Prob not
Implied ain't the same
at the very least, endfield chen is absolutely not a reconvener
because she has a family and all that
Until we get solid damn proof I ain't believing this
also doesnt really look like og ch'en
chen alter alter hawt af
I agree
chen5
I want damn eblana
i want ines reconvener and og shu in endfield 
@drifting quest You have a build for Wulf dps?, i need inspiration
no
WE NEED SHU
So I can make the enemies shoo shoo
Wulf is mostly self sufficient.
surely shu is still the same in endfield 
...
You should augment wulf with Ardelia, Perlica (arts intensity gear), and squirrel girl
So i am looking for how other play Wulf to get some inspiration
SHIBA INU
Squirrel girl
AINT NO SQUIRREL
Red Doggo
AKEKURI IS A SHIBA INU
since she's a fragment of a feranmut she's basically immortal right? 
Maybe...
last time this happened we were mistaking a non dog for a dog, not a dog for a non dog
Akekuri is a Shiba inu
pseudo
👍
You mean these peeps?
@rare zodiac see what works in spreadsheets with
Wulfguard+Ardelia+Perlica(arts intensity)+Akekikusquirrelgirl
the stat check team
Yes
poor andreana
Nearly impossible to kill with that 35% dmg reduction plus 5% HP regen per sec
You motherfu
You mean God Hand lowlight?
Ulpian alone has like what 15k HP?
bro can tank everything and not break a sweat
everyone in that team is a raid boss
Yeah with everyone Module
Still damn meta to me
well except maybe gladiia since she's kinda utility-type
she's there for pulls and interrupts
shes there for ulp
