sudden sparrow
#

when something like perlica's combo skill forcibly applies an arts reaction, does it have the same numbers as if it consumed 1 infliction stack?

bitter nebula
#

ahhh i see, I'm slowly learning physical

#

i need lifeng signature tho T-T

lime nacelle
#

No you don't! fastslam

bitter nebula
#

but i don't have any good Spear

summer flower
#

Nothin?

#

Oof

bitter nebula
#

i have

#

uh

#

what is called

valid zealot
#

Valiant?

#

Valiant seems fine

Ohh

Isn't that like ice spear?

@bronze plume
Rough napkin math, take with a pinch of salt

Stanza P5 - 49.92%
3 Lift Sig - 49.66%
Stanza P4 - 47.32%
Stanza P3 - 46.02%
2 Lift Sig - 45.86%
Stanza P2 - 44.23%
Stanza P1 - 43.41%
Stanza P0 - 42.11%
1 Lift Sig - 42.07%
No Sig, No Stanza - 0% (baseline)

Shorter comparison
Stanza P5 - 49.92%
Stanza P0 - 42.11%
1 Lift Sig - 42.07%

YMMV in reality based on difference in potentials on other chars, gear, artificing progress, yada yada

L90 Avy, L90 Jet p0
max artifice, max essence
p5 ww, p0 avy, no buffs other than weapons considered for perlica arclight gilb because im lazy
only calced for skill with 2 spears, 1 ex spear
assumed uptime on all buffs at once including 3p bonekrusha and then naturally assuming 3p bonekrusha + pulser gloves

tldr close enough you can go for either but stanza is ahead marginally

valid zealot
#

Use ult bot Lifeng

bitter nebula
#

?_?

valid zealot
#

The pin build

#

But the off piece also take ult regen.

bronze plume
#

yeah imma just stick with stanza

#

and not use the limited pulls on yvonnes banner

#

w mat hthx

drifting quest
#

odds are stanza is more favoured with more accurate calcs anyway

#

at least for current electric

#

super stc obviously

bitter nebula
valid zealot
#

Yeah

#

I suppose I can learn one thing or two from Avy chugging stew meeting under rhod fatass.

woeful plume
bitter nebula
# valid zealot Yeah

in ur opinion, should i max E4 lv 90 all pg in Leav team before starting with physical?

drifting quest
#

it does but basically impossible to calc for

drifting quest
#

at least not in any amount of time i have to spare

bitter nebula
valid zealot
#

Ehh

#

Don't.

bitter nebula
#

waste?

valid zealot
#

Ake and Arde mastery gain something so prob not "waste" waste.

#

Just not worth atm.

late swallow
ripe parrot
#

I left everyone at 60

#

anything past that is pretty overkill

bitter nebula

#

210 sp ake ult juicy.

#

Not for me tho

Me poor.

Fine.

dapper mason
#

i saw someone m3 every wulf skill after done with lae M3Leak

drifting quest
ripe parrot
dapper mason
#

i want to say something to him but i keep it

ripe parrot
#

if they're your friend you need to say something

#

friends don't let friends level wulf skills

quartz flame
ripe parrot
#

unless he's based and also does wulf dps

dapper mason
#

no its from team build chat

bitter nebula
ripe parrot
#

i thought about wulf main dps for a bit but i ended up with chen because well

#

i think the answer is pretty obvious

#

also chen is probably the most fun to play solo

bitter nebula
#

swords >>> guns

ripe parrot
#

i love playing chen

#

there wasn't much skill expression in wulfgard dps sadly

bitter nebula
quartz flame
#

ember solo is more reactive with the parry-ish mechanic

eternal ruin
#

spend 300 coolant gel to get twilight to 3 or spend 240 to get 1 stage in both int and attack?

quartz flame
#

twilight 3

ripe parrot
#

ember solo is lit

dapper mason
eternal ruin
#

also, should i get essences for my supports or artifice my main dps first?

ripe parrot
#

main dps probably

#

are you phys team

eternal ruin
#

nah laev team

ripe parrot
#

then slap purple cope essences on your other people

#

and never think about them ever again

eternal ruin
#

haha alright

quartz flame
#

physical players suffer in the essence mines

drifting quest
#

artificing and essences can be done at the same time

ripe parrot
#

if you already have a perfect laev essence you can stop using engravings

#

to save on wuling bucks

eternal ruin
#

yeah i have perfect laev essence

ripe parrot
#

if you want to transition to any other team in the future i would consider looking at The Chart(tm) and lock any potential essences you need

eternal ruin
#

umbral monument is 1 team, right?

ripe parrot
#

yes

quartz flame
ripe parrot
#

on the bright side the people who use fortmaker don't really need all 3 stats

#

so 2/3 is good enough

quartz flame
#

true i got an ult+3 purple

eternal ruin
#

RNG was kind to me for laev's essence

ripe parrot
#

after I'm done with M12 chen I might do full DPS pog setup next

#

if only because it's funny

quartz flame
#

pog solo

green cedar
#

I need some factory giga brains for a question. How many machines can 1 pump power and does the 2 unit flow rate of a pipe bottleneck me in any way?

quartz flame
#

do i swap to my inspiring+3 or keep the ult+3 on fortmaker

#

probably swap

ripe parrot
#

not sure what you really mean by pump power

ripe parrot
quartz flame
#

pog

ripe parrot
#

depends on which set you're running with gear probably

quartz flame
#

i swapped

quartz flame
#

208 intensity pog

#

very nice

ripe parrot
dapper mason
warm galleon
#

I wanna try playing the game as tank main PerliWheeze
I'm thinking of ice+physical with snow as main controlled unit with mc as dps.
Who would be the two fillers?

green cedar
dapper mason
river scroll
#

how much dmg increase does link buff actually give?

#

like Akekuri ult

eternal ruin
#

i assume #1 priority for artificing for laevatain is her chestpiece?

#

gives the most stats

#

also ult gain

ripe parrot
#

maybe chen + estella?

#

dunno sounds clunky lol

warm galleon
#

Yah that's what MC will do since the other two limited force swap when ulting

#

I was first thinking of playing as healer main but i notice that

dapper mason
warm galleon
#

Controlled unit usually has the aggro like 90 of the time.

ripe parrot
#

i feel like the proposed team is really sp hungry

river scroll
frigid vector
eternal ruin
#

or should i artifice battle skill or heat damage dealt?

frigid vector
#

depending on link stacks

ripe parrot
#

and was it 20/25 on first lin k stack for ult?

river scroll
drifting quest
#

multiplicative

frigid vector
#

multiplicative, and yeah ult begins at 20 as it's lower

ripe parrot
#

multi i believe

#

it's in its own pool

river scroll
#

wtf that is more OP than i thought

frigid vector
#

it's 20/30/40/50 for ultimate

ripe parrot
#

link is pretty gud

dapper mason
#

gud men

frigid vector
#

insanely busted buff

eternal ruin
#

also someone here said lynx slab isn't good for laevatain even at high investment, is that true?

ripe parrot
#

lifeng be like i have become wrath

frigid vector
#

it's niche, it works on ardelia teams but without her rotations ideally want to make use of tide

#

although I've seen some crazy double lynx tide builds going around I can't speak for them 😔

eternal ruin
#

ok at least i haven't wasted my investment on my tidefall armor

ripe parrot
#

it's just very clunky to use because you're effectively throwing out an entire ult charge cycle for more main stat

eternal ruin
#

which line(s) of her gear should i be artificing first?

drifting quest
#

the double slab ones are no better than single slab

frigid vector
#

tide is a very good pick generally if only for its ult gain efficiency a lot of characters can make use of it

eternal ruin
#

int?

drifting quest
#

super niche, unpractical rots, minor damage gain outside of high pots x2

dapper mason
frigid vector
#

never found the rots to be impractical with slab, just that it's only for ardelia and single target

#

if you end up running gil or you have ake in the team

#

the lack of ult gain ends up being an issue

drifting quest
#

the extra skills/combo just tend to make things get worse with time

eternal ruin
#

some people are saying to artifice int first, some say heat/battle skill dmg

drifting quest
#

each one gets pushed back more and more until you're 3 to 4 ults behind and lost a ton of damage

frigid vector
#

not that big a problem when endgame right now is bossing, but with the 2-phase marble allowing for setup and "true" endgame in umbral being mixed tide just ends up being better

eternal ruin
#

or how about even ult gain artifice

frigid vector
#

ult gain on artifice is worth doing only up until you have breakpoints

#

it doesn't matter how much you have if you're already getting enough from your rotations

eternal ruin
#

okay so what do i artifice then

#

i would do them all at once but i have limited stock bills

frigid vector
#

have you maxed out pyrometer bskill dmg for one?

#

that's used in almost every build other than p4

eternal ruin
#

no i haven't, i'll do that

#

thanks

frigid vector
#

you can also just get a redeemer seal

#

and artifice that since a lot of chars build pure ult gain rate

#

can't go wrong with boosting it

#

honestly it feels a bit early to be pushing for very high artifices

#

watch one of the 1.1 or 1.2 characters bringing across new build opportunities and it all gets flipped on its head anyways

#

still super early days as people are figuring out builds

#

you can't skimp on sanity as you have to spend it but artificing is something you can stock

ripe parrot
#

yeah i'm kind of holding back myself on my main account

#

since i'm still speculating on a lot of things

#

i'm so close to greatness

frigid vector
#

holy

lime nacelle
#

And her weapon?

ripe parrot
#

not going so great

lime nacelle
#

Disaster...

#

Everyone says that's her best weapon.

quartz flame
#

now watch as tangtang is a perfect upgrade from chen

ripe parrot
#

unless she has perfect skill anim cancels she'll never be chen

lime nacelle
#

But this is the sword she likes the most.

ripe parrot
#

🤮

lime nacelle
#

I'm gonna be legit mad if Tangtang ends up being a Chen replacement.

ripe parrot
#

dude censor that image

#

that's disgusting

lime nacelle
#

Nuh uh.

#

This is the weapon for her.

frigid vector
#

use her sig because it looks the best

#

transmog will never come but if only

ripe parrot
#

sig is unironically good for solo clears

#

i kinda envy those with rapid ascent

#

because it would've made rhod a little bit easier

desert spire
#

wolfguard should work with rossi whenever she releases

#

in most games the siblings dont really have synergy

#

so i hope endfield have those

dapper mason
#

lupa gang

ripe parrot
#

maybe one day full pack synergy team

desert spire
#

yas

#

and maybe collabs with other gachas

#

that would be peak

ripe parrot
#

ngl i don't love it when games do collabs because it usually is jarring and takes away from the setting

#

only one i liked was r6 collab with the OG arknights because the story was surprisingly well thought out and good

desert spire
#

for some reason i had this fantasy where hsr and endfield could work together

#

like the astral express could land on talos 2

ripe parrot
#

also dude why am i always out of protohedrons

#

why does it take 50 of them to m3

#

every time

desert spire
#

also i really loved the fact that different faction speak different language

#

i know the og arknight had that but its still cool

ripe parrot
#

it goes pretty hard yeah

#

i love the cultural diversity

desert spire
#

i love the accents

#

even wuwa does the accents

#

and i love it

#

more gacha should integrate cultural diversity

drifting quest
#

it was one of the benefits out of the whole va strike drama

ripe parrot
#

you know i never put two and two together

#

but that's kinda funny to think about

drifting quest
#

companies dont hire american studios as much = get more variety from other studios

dapper mason
quartz flame
drifting quest
#

arknights should get some furniture for it

quartz flame
#

surtr would probably synergize great with laev

drifting quest
#

same way we got some from ex astris

desert spire
ripe parrot
#

so arknights IS going to be on gryphline at some point right?

#

gryphlink, you know what i meant

desert spire
#

wait og isnt by hyperghline?

ripe parrot
#

it is

desert spire
#

og arknight

#

mb

ripe parrot
#

it also is

#

same devs different studio division iirc

desert spire
#

ohh i see

#

also is endfield in theh future of og arknight

#

or a spin off

#

in the future setting

ripe parrot
#

very far future

desert spire
#

so the og arknight mc is long dead

amber vapor
#

The Dijiang definitely should have a recreational center that you can build furniture in

desert spire
#

and nothing is left of them

ripe parrot
#

also

drifting quest
ripe parrot
#

why are the dijiang furniture display things not in the reception room

drifting quest
#

its implied that the endministrator is connected to the doctor (arknights protagonist) but to what degree is unknown

#

some allies from arknights (e.g. warfarin, at least 1 sui sibling, etc) should appear in endfield too

#

mon3tr is also here

#

a current deuteragonist

midnight stirrup
#

Bro

#

Emiya is dead?

amber vapor
#

M3 is a tactical and covert op so I definitely expect to see her in the climax of the Wuling arc

ripe parrot
#

rhodes island has some inherent connection to endmin based off of file lore too

#

are rare growths 24 hours to a full refresh?

midnight stirrup
ripe parrot
#

me waiting for fucking twelve jadeleaves

midnight stirrup
#

Cultivate them in ur ship

#

Still slow

#

But its extra income overall

granite lily
#

Are these worth upgrading or should it have 3?

ripe parrot
#

culivating them is bad for me

#

because they grow in intervals of 3 and i need 12

midnight stirrup
ripe parrot
#

they take like 80 hours to grow

#

so i'm only delaying myself more

midnight stirrup
#

But it pays off over longer periods of time

ripe parrot
#

yes but after this i won't need jadeleaves

#

for the next like month

midnight stirrup
#

Esp since they only regen every 48h

ripe parrot
#

i think they regen faster than 48

daring dove

um, not really?

at least not for me

i went broke on originium going for p5 chen

Was wondering bc the battle pass asks for +9 weapon skill level

ripe parrot

don't rush that it's like 800 exp

#

just get it normally over time

But you need Twilight on it to count or not?

daring dove
#

Also how much ult gain is too much ult gain on Gilberta, I reckon 250% is possible with her. Klee_Derp

ripe parrot
#

i don't really remember properly because i didn't do the calcs but isn't the next breakpoint kinda far for gilb

Best set for wulfguard in lae team?

it's... public?

Probably a personal thing why its not working

Uhuh

midnight stirrup

@magic stream

#

There u go

magic stream
#

Sankyu

daring dove
#

The problem I have now, is I have no idea which support weapon to focus my essence upgrades on. Extra intellect on Ardelia seems kinda pointless. Extra ATK on Akekuri why? Maybe more ultimate gain on Gilberta? That or just stop an start building a second DPS'es Essence instead?

magic stream
next helm
#

You can keep the essences for later

drifting quest

ult gain is the only thing left worth doing for

but idk if it hits a breakpoint

drifting quest

(ult gain efficiency) = charge = energy recharge

#

That

next helm
#

Or drop a kit slot for something else

modest thorn
#

also anyone have the math on obj vs clannibal on wulf?

magic stream
#

Ima just

#

Trust the process

drifting quest
#

max artificing clannibal technically can minmax but you still never get to use its active in any realistic or practical rot so it doesnt matter

#

obj + a cheap essence reduces the artificing requirement

eternal ruin
#

so close but out of stamina for today

midnight stirrup
#

What shuo said

modest thorn
#

finally got her essence today

midnight stirrup
#

But the guide is wip

lynx gloves better stats than xiranite

sorry lifeng the best i can do is unartificed xiranite plus the tutorial artificed security push knife

funny how they forced us to artifice a crit set piece

thats crazy tho lol

i haven't timed them seriously yet

Does running combo dmg on Endmin affect the orig explosion dmg, or just the base hit?

should I commit to artificing laevatain's max charge build? is it her best build or nah

i saw someone post this
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RX2Vj1jNvL9jufxHD0w1mT2u3GS4n7yplb15phZgpVw/edit?tab=t.0

what do yall think? it also runs laeva/antal/akekuri/ardelia over wulf

daring dove
#

Ult gain build makes the most sense once you get a few potentials on the weapon & Laevatain.

neat snow
#

I'm just using 76.5% ult gain and it's quite nice. Being p5p5 I have a ton of damage still.

sinful mesa
#

i havent done any artificing on laev gear yet because i wanna see what the consensus is after a few weeks of laev testing

lunar sleet
#

Does running combo dmg on Endmin affect the orig explosion dmg, or just the base hit? D:

boreal coral
daring dove
#

That said, Ult gain is more fun to play.

#

But it also takes a bigger commiment.

#

Because at P0, you need 107% ult gain.

#

Which means you need to max the ult gain on every single piece except chest.

midnight stirrup
#

Oh my god im so dumb

sinful mesa
#

ok ty, ill commit to it then cuz building laev ult is annoying having to do 2 enhanced skill and i just want laev to be more comfy in overworld then

i thought it was a dps loss

It depends. Never Rest needs the wielder to recover SP multiple times, which only Pog can do. Never Rest can stack up to 5 times, and you need to stack it 4 times to match Thermite Cutter's buff. Akekuri only recovers SP twice with her skill, which means you only end up with 2 stacks.

sullen depot
#

Are there any rotations floating around for phys teams? I see the spreadsheet says it has some coming soon, was wondering if any are already around

lime nacelle
#

Thermite Cutter stacks twice, so it's fully stacked with Akekuri's combo skill.

bitter nebula
lime nacelle
#

You can use Akekuri on physical teams too.

bitter nebula
#

well if you have pog

frozen tide
#

even for pog thermite is better

bitter nebula
#

so dmg% is less valuable than atk%?

lime nacelle
#

For Pog, Never Rest is only SLIGHTLY better in terms of team buffs.

ripe parrot
ripe parrot
#

they're not even in the same realm

bitter nebula
#

why?

#

because of resistance?

frozen tide
#

cause theres way too many sources of dmg percent

daring dove
frozen tide
#

never rest is an acceptable substitute to thermite

ripe parrot
#

no because dmg % is effectively diluted where atk % is almost an increase in the FINAL dmg you do

dapper mason
#

if phys team. who is controlled operators ?

frozen tide
#

thermite gaps tho

bitter nebula
#

oh because increasing the atk increase the damage?

frozen tide
dapper mason
#

chen with pog ?

frozen tide
#

if you wanna be optimal when you chen ult you swap to lif probably

bitter nebula
#

so, atk% buff the total dmg?

frozen tide
#

just for the animation

daring dove
lime nacelle
daring dove
#

Base ATK is the multiplier everything else works off.

bitter nebula
dapper mason
#

i mean phys team with pog in it. who is controlled operators ?

bitter nebula
lime nacelle
#

Though I guess... if you wanna control with Pog...

#

Let's see. 300_pepe_notes

bitter nebula
#

and so ironically more dmg means less dmg than more atk

dapper mason
#

thats probably the answer why thermite is better than never rest. bcs we dont control pog ?

ripe parrot
#

there is a theoretical case in phys teams where you can use any of them

bitter nebula
#

who do u use?

ripe parrot
#

chen is probably the easiest answer assuming equal levels/funding

#

I obviously use chen because she's m11 lmao

#

but i am not the normal user for phys

bitter nebula
#

as active ops?

ripe parrot
#

99% of phys teams do not have a LVL90 M11 chen

bitter nebula
lime nacelle
#

Honestly as long as you're not controlling Lifeng you'll probably be good. Cat_Hanh

ripe parrot
#

even lifeng you swap in for stagger attack

daring dove
# bitter nebula more atk means more dmg

Look at it this way, lets say you have a pool of 400% damage, An that multiples off your base attack. Your base ATK is 1000. That means your final ATK total is 5000. Progs weapon would make your attack pool 460% damage for example meaning your final damage becomes 5600. Thermite cutter says screw the rules I'm going to buff at the source. So instead it makes your base ATK 1280 & then add your 400% damage bonus, meaning you end up with 6400 ATK instead.

#

If that makes sense to you.

lime nacelle
ripe parrot
#

that and lifeng is just crazy because of passive

#

this is more applicable the higher your lifeng is

lime nacelle
#

I'm still not sure if the Swordmancer extra damage happens when you're not controlling character. AShmm

daring dove
#

Thermite cutter is also almost impossible to saturate rn.

#

So it's just massively better than all DMG% weapons.

ripe parrot
daring dove
#

Well not entirely true, Ardelia's weapon works a bit like Thermite cutter as well.

ripe parrot
#

maybe i'm talking out of my ass

lime nacelle
#

I think I know how to test it.

bitter nebula
#

is like

#

uhm

lime nacelle
#

We'll just... eyeball the stun bar a bit.

daring dove
bitter nebula
#

one buffs the amount of something you can have, the other gives you more candies

floral cosmos
bitter nebula
#

and we like candies

#

so more candies = good

amber vapor
ripe parrot
#

Also if we think about it mathematically, assume you have a 15% dmg increase and your current total dmg % is 515. You go from 515 -> 530 which is actually a ~2.9% increase in the gain.

If you like the Phy team I'd say go for it, but I'm also a massive whale. So my funds aren't as limited as most.

lifeng is just really valuable so you can cope with valiant and build xiranite set on him lol

bitter nebula

#

also isn't lifeng's dash the same speed

it's only pog's dash that's actually faster

No.

You honestly don't need sigs, just like you don't need max artifice and essences, to do all the content comfortably

You can still trim without em

Just you'll have a lot less wiggle room

broken shale
#

Essences I'd argue a bit

#

Unless you have everything level 90

#

Then yeah sure I agree

frozen tide
#

i want to kill me from 2 weeks ago who picked valiant instead of thermite from box

ripe parrot
#

you can do a little bit of all of the above and trim easily

broken shale
#

The opposite here

#

I got a thermite copy

I'm coping by giving it to ake

it's only when you''re fully maxing things that it becomes a crazy sink in resources

new operators might send her to the exp ticket mines

#

when you proc pog t2 with like a lift, knock down, etc. does the atk% and arts intensity affect the damage of the thing that proc'd it or is it just damage after the effect?

the next op has to be better than a 2x applier + combust

for that to be the case

#

like if link wasn't so strong akekuri wouldn't even be here

#

120 cost ult is painful

daring dove
#

Naw I'm fairly confident Akekuri remains BiS in Laevatain teams way longer than Wulguard. But she does require a lot more investment than him to work right.

#

For low investment I can see Wulfguard being better.

fast hinge
raven escarp
#

What's the specific knowledge

ripe parrot
#

the knowledge is that wulfgard can literally solo apply for laev at p5

#

so you don't need anyone but him to do rotations

#

gilb is there for literally amp and vortex

woeful plume
#

the specific knowledge is having p5 wulf

daring dove
#

Wulf simply can't compete at high invest

#

At low he will.

ripe parrot
#

akekuri is still really good for current content aka trim

frozen tide
#

gilb is very low uptime

ripe parrot
#

but it starts to taper off meaningfully past rhod where fights do matter past the initial burst

#

but I mean the answer at the moment is: run both lmao

#

I value the consistency of wulf very highly and I don't know if they'll release a heat operator that will apply better than him versus them releasing a better vanguard/sp battery with buffs

#

but that's me just speculating

daring dove
ripe parrot
#

but yes good for speedruns

where 2x application doesn't do much

3x workshops
i'm getting flashbacks to arknights base building meta

but no you can't change them

icy minnow
#

Wulfgard would be even better if Laev teams weren't so sp constrained right now, you could actually use his enhanced battle skill

outer ermine
#

252mr moment

ripe parrot
#

I can easily see the game meta moving to heavier SP gains with future ops

naive lichen

#

but I will also say that this is all just stuff I'm assuming in my head and not what might actually happen

daring dove
#

Wulf's great for low investment.

ripe parrot
#

okay i'll concede that if we're talking like minmax speedrunning, yes

#

the low investment of a 5 star p5

#

F2P players go broke doing that

icy minnow
#

Akekuri is great for bosses where you can actually reach the stagger points, regular stuff dies too fast for her to generate much sp

#

Wish we had an arc light but for fire, her kit is so fun PerlicaNOW

daring dove
#

I hope during 1.1 or 1.2 fire team gets a buff.

Would be great if we got a really strong fire sub DPS that doesn't want to consume heat stacks
