i mean, it didn't before right?
When are we allowed to take shower?
why would that be part of the change
i mean, my buff ordering kinda different on those pic
Bc they didnt replicate the exact old image with buff order
n i lose 120k
all that would matter it additive and multiplicative
so make sure your additive dmg is up then pop multi
Anyway
outside of that it shouldn't matter
even if you do the additive after the multi as long as it is all there when the dmg numbers pop it should be the same
well yeah
What's the deal with lava ult gain again?
the only change would come from not having a buff up you did before
I remember it is unique, but I don't know specifically
or a weaker buff than before
Some clarity in buffs would be nice
Sometimes I have 10 ticking buffs and I have no idea of their origin
It just works
as far as the player side is concerned anyway
enhanced skill hit = 100 extra
combo = replacement based on # of enemies hit, 25 in sgt
Anyone knows what is sanity discount?
should be just half cost
Half cost all protocols?
x claims per day, probably 3
Probably specific ones
Youll still be able to max utilise it bro
Dont even worry lol
120 a day, you got that
Next agony is inorganic constructs, probably aggeloi
I’m losing my sanity over the fact how much mats I need to just lvl up 2 characters skills to 13

I mean u can see the next enemies for agony on the homepage of the event
Two are crossed out, two arent
Huh
Why is bro screaming at me
I can't read
is anyone else experinecing insane lag in umbral
No
Can't wait to upgrade my essense of reading comprehension
now I know where all my Tcreds went
its making the third agony stage a nightmare i enter experience 5 sec of rubberbanding and then instantly die
rubberbanding? network lag?
It is on you. I have lags everywhere, except for protocol space
Cause there's virtually nothing to lag
It is small isolated scene
my ping is fine its like 30ms
I got 600k T creds lmao
I thought you were like me for a second
Baited yo ahh
I had 35 credits at some point
then its not make any sense tho, since rubberbanding is network lag
I cant even force farm essences rn cause I capped out daily originium use
Imagine being poor
umbral gave a decent tcred payout

too bad i have no other mats
True
Mfw everything gives 60-90 xp tickets

i dont have enough tcreds to utilize this
Umbral event rewards are lowkey trash. I can forgive the fact that it doesn't yield pull currency, but being dripfed with evolution materials for such challenges
It is not really nice
and this
I need those I have t-credits to realise it
Bro came into chat completely confused about the context to hate
How tf you got 81?
W fan
Wild accusation
uhhh PP ?
His going to ask BP but when someone told him to check #1461542035617091681 he when full trigger mode
and events ?

well, did u crown some skills ?
It is not like mastery barely increases anything anyway
This server has some interesting people breh
since I only did crowning / mastery 2 times until now
truly the more time i spend here the less i wish to stay
No literally
I have crowned 3 laev skill and ult. crowned 2 ardelia skill and crowned 2 lifeng skill both for stronger sus
u need to see #tech-support more
where all player that has lower than minimum requirements spec
seek support
and keep arguing

I hate it there
How do I build wulfgard into main DPS 
They tarnished theorycrafting too
there's no real other tc server i know of
guoba's seems chill but it's dead a lot
prydwen is prydwen
eh, did I miss smth ?
Yes
The event gives pull currency though, or am I missing something 🤔
Milestones do not repeat
He means a lot of pull currency bro
2.4 pulls
or 1.2 pulls per week
Is this the right channel to ask about rotations?
event last like 27 days so that’s probably the interval idk
5 pulls per month
Finally, endgame we've all been craving
sort of yes sort of no
depends 
just ask away
ah shuo already answered
the channel is help 3 anyway

I thought it is #team-build 2
it's both
Are there rotations in Endfield?
Or is it just random bs go moment
isn't it both
there are rotations yes
Phys 
Depends on the team
they're more varied than you might be used to coming from other arpg gacha
Some teams are strictly cycled
most teams tend to have 3-20 or so
Some teams have action variety
unique rotations i mean
I see
unless you're doing trims in recrisis you can ignore them pretty much
So for example
Does a Physical team with Lifeng, Pog, EdMin and Chem has one?
Agony kinda made me sweat for the first time. Avywenna team isn't exactly best for this mode
2.4 is like half of the thing, so it’s essentially 4.8 pulls every month
Honestly
Gilb is pretty hard to pull f2p if you already got laeva
Oh yeah it's explaining team buildings and all
I think i'm very late because i'm already lvl52 and I haven't even unlocked the Xiranite prod chain
minimal aoe check versus the sgt nuker
Ability cancelling is bullshit
here, avy on agony

It needs to be compensated
you're behind but not enough to matter at all
So honestly idk where to start to build chars above lvl60
bring to u by marisa
I would like to say as someone attempting no hit, the crossbow guy from axe and ballista makes me want to turn dogs into fillets
the only time gated content is umbral monument which is... easy, to say the least
Lemme guess, he uses P5 jet?
so would it be an error to lvl 9 all skills on Gilberta?
yesnt
Should I do that?
She's all lvl6 for now
Umbral is such a joke. I was building up energy to ult on laev and everything is like dead by the time I do it
if you have spare resources then skill, combo and ult are fine
basic is basically always a waste
if you're trying to conserve resources then take ult to sl7 and do nothing else
laev got like 1-2 mins clear on each one, so damn dominating for aoe contents like this tbf
Actually I'll say that I don't have gilb
I still need to donate like 80$ to pull her
check marisa note tho, its just make it kinda easier on stage 2 only
Well she's the first and only character that I E3'd so I have honestly no idea what i'm doing
My mind just goes like "woah she pretty lemme upgrade"
So yes I have spare resources
And yeah 2.4 pulls is a meme. So if we count out all the permanent stuff we got 16 pulls from dailies in 45 days and 4.8 pulls from umbral and the photo event is like 2.9 pulls?
basically for supports like gilberta you want to prioritise levelling skills that increase the buffs/debuffs they provide, while ignoring anything that only increases their damage
Gilberta only has a debuff on her ult, and the multiplier only increases at sl4, sl7 and m1
Why is the Enfield open theme so good makes me want to wait on the loading screen instead of playing the game. 
I just want HG to release the patch that bring more pull source already 
https://endfield.wiki.gg/wiki/Gilberta
you can give the skills a look over and see how the multipliers increase per level
"Hi there! Oh, you have the rosy scent of beautiful memories... like an incomplete letter destined for a special place. I wonder where that might be."Gilberta is a Rhodes Island operator assigned to Endfield Industries under the framework agreement between the two companies. She serves as a Messenger...
I think someone counted 30 pulls/month
Which is on the lower spectrum
Yeah. I feel like er set is really good here
ZZZ got 50 for example
per month calcs suck
Oh I forgot weeklies
per patch is what matters
yeah, sometimes I afk on that screen
we dont know endfield per patch income because 1.0 is an outlier
In the long run, one time sources don't really matter
so about this
where do I start? Do I build one team to lvl 80 (after finishing C2P2)
Monthly adds 12 pulls/month, which is pretty solid for 5$
Whatever the pull economy I will just employ my usual method of just saving all my pulls for the next character I like which usually ends up being the most OP by chance
teams are generally split into one of two types right now:
hypercarry teams, where you invest a ton into your dps and less into the supports
or the rest (mainly physical variants) which need investment into the entire team
depending on what you team is, or what team you plan to use, determines how best to spend resources in the short term
100 wishes per patch would be a nice amount in my opinion. But realistically we'll be lucky if it's much over 75-80.
60 f2p should be the lowest we get, would be insane if they skimped more than that
80-100 mark would be nice
120+ would be very nice
Seems like 5 banner-specific HH tickets from login bonus per banner (spread over 7 days) is to be expected
what is a wish even
Hopium
if we kept going with 3 char per patch, then 120 is sane imo 1/3 of total chartered banner guarantee
Pull
we should* drop down to 2 a patch
then 100 is sane enough
And how many teams should one have invested in (invested in meaning all chars >lvl80)?
80 - 90 ish
Yep, 15 days per character is too fast
One team can clear all content
Focus on one team, when you finish it, start leveling second one
Until they add a multi team thing
you only need 1 for all content in the game, a second is possible but stretching resources thin, assuming day 1 player and got to wuling early
just make sure you build ardelia to trivalise current umbral
the second would just be for fun
its 17 but we also get less pulls if we move to 2 banner
Ardelia is in like most teams by default tbf
Need more teams for variety, cause playing same cycle for month straight is pretty boring
I reckon it'll be 2 characters per patch cycle going forward except anniversaries which will be like launch with 3 characters. But that's purely speculation.
building second team when u dont have commitment is kinda..... not good. Even I dont know how to properly use lae rotation (my 2nd team)
Ok i'm cooked i'm building 3 at the same time rn
With all non-overlapping characters
They're only lvl 60 though
Opps wrong reply.
lvl 60 is fine, just taking them beyond you want to commit
I think it'll be like AK
Ever see a genshin dead patch 👀👀👀
2 chars and third collaboration
21d per banner, 2 banners, 42d patches
common trend, works well
If there's collaboration
oh, btw will AK EF had half anniversaries? iirc OG AK has half anniversaries right ?
54 pulls like 3x last year lol
potentially but prob not

Do you think we are getting alters? Specifically Z7 alters
6 weeks cycle is pretty standard yeah
less likely in a 3d arpg but not impossible
Fangyi will be end of 1.1 so I'm holding strong
Yeah anything more than 24 days with 1 character starts to feel a bit tiresome.
the ayaka incident
Unless they do rossi and then tangtang and save Fangyi for 1.2
💀
Probably. I feel like theyre gonna focus more on around being able to get a 6-star in a patch rather than the guaranteed one. If you want the guarantee, you gotta bridge patches.
Don't remind me 
It is good IMO, more time to get pulls, right?
Ok but what happens when you pull them day 1?
Continue saving?
F2P mentality
80/patch to have a 50/50 chance for one would be like okay
My most anticipated character back in the day and I missed her because I forgot when her banner was and I was busy with exams 😭
2 guarantees every 3 patches
Yea
I dont think theyre gonna give income based on the guarantee
120 is a lot
If you don't have enough arsenal tickets then just burn them till you do
Ok but if you're waiting a month for the next character to come along you can start to lose interest.
Without pity carryover lowkey sounds like ass. Can't even get what you want
you'd have to spend or skip patches yes
thats the point
About teams
In the guide I've seen Yvonne getting trash talked a lot
Is she really bad or smth?
Yes this is typically how gachas work per patch cycle
I started to lose interest when it turned out that there's no gameplay

Performs way worse than other teams and her kit is a coin flip
can she clear content? yes
will it be easy relative to better units? no
is she bad? ehhhhhh she definitely has sone very big, problematic kit issues that are not easily solved
how so? I don't have her
however she also has large assets
21-24 day character releases stops you getting burnt out a bit better as there's always something else not too far away to look forward to / consider.
Just one more 6 star support and she'll shine, trust me 
👀
dude fuck the crossbow guy in umbral
why does his triple shot attack have such little windup
prioritize the crossbow and kite the melee ones
But even as a whale I agree a new character everry 17 days is too much.
solution
in axe and ballista btw
simply do not die
doing no hit
But I'd be fine with it during major celebrations.
the year in 2030
the 60th support for yvonne has been released. they buff specifically yvonne and yvonne only, giving thousands of crit damage, applying infinite amounts of cryo and printing endless sp
last rite is still better
Her combat skill and combo skill can straight up whiff and her sig buffs DMG only if you crit on those skills (combat skill is one but and p0 burst is 3 hits in a small aoe). Her ult is basic attacks and then a big final attack but you are completely immobile and vulnerable while it happens.
have fun
crit is generally not good enough right now, purely because crit gears are not that good and there are no crit supports yet, so yvonne is not gonna be better than LR anytime soon until a crit support comes out
isnt this same as Jing Yuan situation
It just happens that Yvonne supports also support LR

tbf, the new supports were good for him, then they release the version 3.x dps which power crept everything
I pulled Yvonne and built her with LR as support just for shits and giggles because I already had my LR at a high level so LR was just a sub-dps crutch to my Yvonne
I was deadass going to go all in to get Yvonne when her banner becomes available
And I suppose Last Rite doesn't depend on Crit?
And even with LR carrying the constant Yvonne skill whiffs was tilting
he's already expired imo, imo the amphoreus is turning point for HSR which start to go more specific for path mechanics
The only nice thing is the instant solidification
which follow up is kinda..... elation
which is also where i stopped playing
To be fair they could fix CR characters fairly easily, just release a gear set that gives +100% CD. 
me when powercreep and hyper specific teams are required to make characters function
yvonne is the only one using crit rn, everyone else doesn’t
i just wanted to ahve fun with himeko and jade man
LR is a single target nuker
I keep replying to the wrong person.
Her weapon is the only one that can't be optimized in essense farming btw
Which is what Yvonne is supposed to be too but the crit version
She's so unique
oh regarding that
When should one actually farm those
the game is currently easy you can use whoever you want, but future proofing advice if you want to chase meta is to skip yvonne
Essences
nope, i need crit on my ember weapon
just use wedge lol it’s not even worth pulling her sig 
Think of it this way. LR give a stable DMG output that doesn't rely on RNG versus Yvonne who relies on a coin flip for every attack to do any meaningful DMG
After you E4 your operators and weapons
After essences you do 80 > 90
LR is self-sufficient while Yvonne needs someone else to apply cold
They kind of need to release a good CD boosting set. Because right now CR is such a bad stat. Any character that has a CR sub on their weapon is automatically majorly flawed.
you really dont need essences that badly, i just full cleared umbral with only purple essences except for ardelia weapon
and what about essences just for the Node progress rewards?
Fangyi gonna be the Jihnsi of this game trust
Crit DMG ult
crit rate is low and even when crit there’s no crit dmg, crit is so scuffed 
no critslop
I have none
Which is concerning
we are better than the critslop
i like crit finishers
You'll get there eventually. No reason to hassle just for them
You get them from elite enemies and effluvium without spending stamina
at most the "crit" in endfield would be something like ela's second passive
LR Sig?
Yes
yvonne is gonna be decent when we have an equivalent of shorekeeper i guess 
"Attacks have a 30% chance to deal 150% of ATK as Physical damage; The chance is increased to 100% when attacking a target that's affected by a GRZMOT Mine"
I keep rolling Strength/BS/Deto
You mean another wife?
dont play wuwa. what gives

SK heals and also buffs crit DMG
Consumes 100 HP per second and deals 200 True damage per second to enemies that have either attacked or been attacked by this unit. Attack range +1, Max HP +60%, ATK +120%, and each attack restores 5% HP and has a 25% chance to stun targets for 5 seconds
Oh yeah there's no true DMG in this game yet huh
Hoe
And there's no built in vamp either
I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Hoederer. I try to play Kal'tsit. My Hoederer deals more damage. I try to play Ray. My Hoederer deals more damage. I try to play Wisadel. My Hoederer deals more damage. I want to play Sniper/Med. The best team has Hoederer. I want to play Def/Supp, Guard/Vanguard. They both want Hoederer.
He grabs me by the throat. I buy him a laptop. I cook for him. I boot up u-officials stream. He isn't satisfied. I pull Qiubai. "I don't need this much cc" He tells me. "Give me more aspd." He grabs Ulpianus and forces him to throw himself at a Sarkaz Devourer. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more damage with Chalice."
I can't get Chalice, I don't have enough ingots. He grabs my investment savings. It's empty. "Guess this is the end." He grabs Ines. He says "Ines, get them." There is no hint of sadness in his eyes. Nothing but pure, next attack restores 25% hp application. What a cruel world.
I could see Rossi being a berserker with vamp
i miss akdle
Prepare to spend like 20 of them

@redditbot, remind me in 1 year when this game start being critslop just like the others

ill take all your deep cuts
Gambling for odds in a gacha? Inconceivable!
adds crit rate
no crit damage buffs
I think even if we gonna have 3 characters per patch which I doubt we will. And even if we get enough pulls for that like cmon,I can barely gear my second team after I build laev. If the game gave me Gilberta rn I wouldn’t be able to use her. So if in imaginary world I get 3 characters per patch there is no way im investing all of them
Brother
the encrittening


Did u miss the memo
thats kinda...... sucks
all that crit fishing just for what ?
50% more extra damage ?
I spent like 40-50 tickets
Prepare to spend another 50 then
honestly
at least you'll get all upgrades immediately
yvonme doesnt have a nuke right?

like one damage being 100000% scaling
Im about to choke yo ahh
Can you spend between 17-27 more tickets?
its fine for her to have crit ststs if its like thst
Her ult final hit is supposed to be that but it sucks
gib moar sanity plz
sanity less (insane) behaviour
dont worry, we all the same
how about using Oroberries
Yeah I wish we get that 600 sanity pack every day 
Oroberries
i have used everything so far
what do i even do, except for trim boss medals
was that the wrong spelling?
trying to get a perfect essence for LR
Oroberyls
Guess we downloading kingdom hearts since content drought
Wanna know what's funny about Yvonne
even with all that 600 sanity pack, I believe there's atleast 1 person in this channel that will fail (hard pity) all that essence upgrade (etching) 
mb 🙏
Her sig is worse imo compared to navigator
Yvonne got +30% crit rate and +80% crit dmg and she’s still bad, what is even crit

Because with navigator you're guaranteed more crit rate
But artzy only gives DMG inc if you hit a crit on CS or BS
doesnt navigator get its crit from passive though so you cant actually max compared to just having a crit substat?
I want to learn blender animation
So I can do funny stuff with endfield characters
The optimal yvonne build is not having her in ur account

Same with ember
comparing navigator with sig for yvonne when wedge is literally there
nope ember is good and comfy
ember build seems decent enough
You just got baited by her huge ass
"funny"
sus
The passive is +5.6% and then when you apply solidify you get 5.6% DMG + 3.2% CR multipled by 2 if you trigger the solidify
I swear it is not porn. At least some of my ideas
chest not ass
Tail too big imo
they turned up the physics massively on ember
all tail substance should be put into ass and chest for sure
Avywenna personality is inspiring
why do I get rate limited for entering umbral monument too much
Chill with the tails just give everyone bunny/cat ears/wings or horns
Too much fun being had
after enough retries, Endfield hits me with the "This feature is not available"
cmon Endfield, both you and I know that's not true
Hg said go farm
I had no fun on agony
3rd agony stage its fun to play wheres waldo with red attack indicator
I dunno how you farm essences but I used the website to farm similar ones and so far I got essences for: laev signature, endmin signature,thermite cutter,ardelia signature, lr signature, lifeng signature, Chen sundering steel, detonation unit, chivalric virtues. All 3/3 basically everything I ever need and all of these I got while farming for gel for 9/9/4 laev wpn
Bonekrusher ballista more like bonekrusher megagay
What's up with those 2k damage attacks
You farm essences by praying to rngesus
Like i swear i get hit by air in that stage
thats what i have for now
The ballistas are insanely hard to notice fr
Griefing hard i love it
🐳
Omg… I feel painful just by looking at it
Don't show it to that guy who spent 50 tickets already
Lvling imperfect essence
why does ballista dude have no windup for push
why does ballista dude have a half second window for charged crossbow shot
why does ballista dude have almost NO animation for 3x crossbow shot
i believe u can do it ml
i'm saving the juice i get for a perfect oner
Lr too strong so they dont want atk its meta trust
no hit agony stage 3
it's still probably not as bad as no hit triagg but like
cryo application support when, why is last rite the best applier when she’s a literal dps 
phase transitions annoying i guess
Watch him get bonked in hotfix
he's not that bad for regular attempts
another nerf has hit the endfield
I hope not tho
How do I dps with wuldgard?
Cryo is deadge
Every game needs some bs
Usually it is phys teams who catches strays
what website?
its gonna be so fucking funny when people struggling on this umbral have to fight the actually annoying enemies
Building lava team will probably take a month or so
people genuinely struggling on umbral when perfect dodge gives you like 2 years worth of iframes
I’ll dm you it I dunno if we’re allowed to post links here for 3rd party websites
most generous dodge i’ve ever seen
I'm just running around. 10 minutes is pretty generous
No need for haste, unless it is fucking damage mist 
I'm assuming later agony umbrals will be boss rushes
kk
yvonne upscale when 
Her ass is already too big
never big enough
or nerf her assets so she can move during ult
seems like its weight is too much that she has to stand still
Just give her damage immunity so she doesn't gets interrupted
Any predictions when Lae will get powercrept
1.3
That's when fangyi released apparently
buff her so that her assets’ elasticity bounce back every attacks and she’s gonna be good
Fangyi is gonna mog
why dodge when can brute force with healing and shields
But if lae gets better teammates... 
Too bad I'm not pulling her
I want Lycia
She's kinda bad
i got my perfect essence for ember
No need for deadweight when you can just dodge
life is good
lifeng?
Well we all know for sure that limited support could only work for certain team, so if we put that on equation it's pretty hard to tell.
Kinda mid
powercrept in what way
if you mean purely as the best team then she already is
dodging take effort, theres no real time limit
as a fire hypercarry? 6-12mo
can’t be bothered to build ember or investing sufficient amount of resource for supports and healers 
gaming
Horizontal powercreep is too hard for gryphline prob
You need more than copying genshin scheme to succeed
requires more investment than just building will on ardelia
or going lynx set on ember if you really want
i have built her for finsiher/stagger though
Theyll succeed once they remove origeo scaling on refresh
Is there arguably worst team you can build? No synergies, no combos, no procs
that's actually kinda hard if you think about it lmao
We all know dodging will be optional in the future 
Until they can hit 20k hp that shatters barriers and need protection buff to tank it
flourite wolfguard, endmin, avywenna
They need to make content that just straight 1shots u if no dodge
endmin to chen cause endmin can actually deal damage in that team for wtv reason
endmin would technically buff team as well
there is 0 way to proc avywenna combo skill, there is no electric infliction
with p2
chen probably the way since she'd build stacks but there'd be no-one in the team to trigger it
Give LR gears to snowshine, they use the same stats 
Nice, now we need someone to trim marble with this team lol
I know bilibili community can do it
she gets it on ult
returning it iirc
no there is almost 0 way to proc fluorite and actually 0 way to proc avy, i need a better replacement for wulfguard
just mass put a complaint that we can’t clear marble with that team and they will nerf the boss fs 
when you call back the thunderlance ex it should inflict elec
so she could get electrification through with it
how are you building ult
It inflicts only elec susc?
well chen can probably trim marble by herself
Or am I missing something
should be infliction I think? let's see
so you can just do point chen and have everyone else do nothing
its infliction, but you dont build ult cause you cant combo or use battle skill
but I guess that goes against the spirit of the challenge lol
so ye it's infliction
I like how sundering steel surpasses rapid ascent and aspirant while being the ugliest mf to exist
avy to arc
I meant instead of avy
She can prock her kit, kinda
use arclight
With ultimate she gets electrif, combo and battle
full support team is worse than having like 1 dps there who can do some work
would only be through ult as well that she gets it
lk though what does arc do?
I never see her apply electric vulnerability
ok is sustainless physical no longer viable in the new endgame hard mode?
same as avy, but avy literally cant use skill to build ult until she has lance
arc gives sp and electric dmg buff
you can still use bskill without spears
no one in that team doing stuff with arc
She's support slave in avy team. Consumes electrification for execution and sp recover on combo
What stage
Also wildland trekker
gas
I guess avy would be a less synergistic pick simply because couldn't ever trigger any buffs via gear
Can buff electric damage of whole squad by 60% or so
well, ish, I guess ult
the gas damages you over time
But yea ur hard countered by gas
so ember is officially better than lifeng for physical teams?
wulfguard needs replacement, combo is too easy to proc
Akekuri
it's fine i just trimmed with no issues on sustainless phys
This team almost has no stagger
is she mandatory for avy
already? that was fast 
how did you survive the gas?
Idk if 1 stage mechanic makes the entire team shit but whatever makes u happy
i just killed them?
And there's no point in applying heat
akekrui is too general, ult will be good, and procs combo through stagger
Powercrept might be misleading, better to say she never was the best
but i thought the gas wipes your team without a sustain
if you're slow
Not if u kill fast
takes a long time to kill
akekuri before catcher wow
Fair. What about Yvonne on a team?
She's literally useless by herself
then i would need to swap out flourite
Makes sense
fluorite is here because her combo is miserble to proc solo
no need to swap out flourite though, yvonne can’t inflict cryo
is there a general consensus for the best team or is it just like "everyones good but nothing that makes them concretely better"
2 battle skills for 1 combo, true
oh we swap endmin for ember btw
We've got few main teams competing
Lava, LR, Endmin, Avy
Yvonne is out of the picture
ember will make that team survives though, so it will be a stalling team instead of just being useless
Depends on content and what you want to do
Speedrun with prep time? Avywenna
Consistent sgt dpr? Physical
Yada yada yada
time wasting is worse than simply dying
makes sense 
time wasting might help you win but simply dying doesn’t
hmmm
maybe pog angle?
instead of ember
cuase breach will do literally nothing
im assuming sgt dpr = single target dmg per round?
Per rotation
swap wulfguard is fine
wulfguard combo too easy to proc
You mean lorewise?
pog to uh catcher
this gives flourite her combo
Oh, I thought that antal takes only heat and electr
perhaps avy over arclight, but doesnt make much difference
avy needs spears to do damage
she has no spears
hmm
true
wait
why arent we using lava
instead of chen
lava actually does nothing without heat infliction
i don’t think we should consider any dps cause they can somewhat do damage
lava skill can inflict heat herself and at one point it gonna become 4 stacks
and big dmg
still technically work though
but you sac all the teambuffs
that somone like catcher could give
with xiranite
lava and lr are 2 dpses that can operate solo because they can apply inflictions themselves though, so they have to be the first to be out of the conversation tbf
whyre we tryna fix such a team comp with just one char change
dump that shit entirely
a team comp that can’t work
It is actually harder to build than team that somewhat works
Actual theory crafting 
To score 0/100 on exam you need to know all right answers
It doesnt
She just gets magma stacks every skill usage 
Her only inflitctiom is n3 enhanced basic
Same difference though, she's too self-sufficient
4 normal bs + 1 enhanced bs -> combust -> cs, and like 2-3 of this rotations gonna give her ult
not as self-sufficient as lr but still works ig
how much atk am i missing out on by not having strength artificed?
should i at least artifice strength on the chestpiece?
for laev
are you willing to go for ultspam
i have ultspam already
Id artifice strength
alr
If you dont mind wasting the artificers potentially on future units
Man I’ve been thinking,like what’s the point of minmaxing if the content is so trivial. Like even with no artificed gear and maxed essence umbral is still so easy
do you want an integtrated strategies equivalemt

Because the content in a gacha is designed to be easy
yeah no
You minmax because you want to, not because you need to
You've poisoned your expectations from playing to much whale-centric hoyoslop
I like to minmax to enable funny challenges
i max my characters for the screenshot /s
I do enjoy the fact that there's a ton of skill expression in this game, so things like minmaxing just get me to the highest end of that
Skill expression because you can't turn your brain off and mash but yes
there are a lot of minor things you can do
like the difference between someone who semi-optimizes vs doing full optimization is like a crazy range
Istg i think people who whines about gacha game combat being very basic wants to do tekken type of combos
Go play those instead 
It has a good middle ground with a high skill floor and a decently high skill ceiling
ok there is NOT a high skill floor
Is it not? In terms of mechanically-intensive combat, you can get pretty lazy with Endfield.
The leeway to do things and combo and whatnot are generous
you don't really get unc checked that bad in this game
high skill floor means you need to be highly skilled to perform at a base level
Low skill floor
Med to high skill ceiling
i believe high skill floor to “learn” the actual rots
Lets just not use jargons 
For clarity fr
Low knowledge barrier for damage
Potentially high skill expression
Is this additive or multiplicative with other things like attack increases from main/secondary atributes etc ?
Effectively multiplicative
Stat based attack% is multiplicative
Other 'external' attack percent is additive
[baseatk * (1+baseatk%) * (1+conditionalatk%) + flat attack] * [1+attribute attack%]
It goes on the base atk% portion
Thanks, that's what I wanted to know
If we remove flat atk, then all of them are multiplicative to each other, but same buff = additive to each other
I can't believe a game designed to be played on a phone that releases characters often with varied kits doesn't have a complex combo system involving multiple buttons to press.
I gotta double check some calcs tomorrow
More buttons = better combat mfs when they still struggle to do DMG with two buttons
I don’t play hoyo games. The only gacha I played recently was wuwa. I enjoyed quickswapping there but got bored at the end
The problem with that game for me is that I kinda want some of the new characters and build them and play around but I’m so tired of echo grind, the general routine there like dailies,open world exploration and events. It felt good once but now it’s just a chore. Boring and not enjoyable anymore
Managed to max out Det Unit to 6/6 without using cooling gel
Goodge
Can keep it for my LR when I get my essence in a billion years
finally max pot wulfgard
bro this game is wack
the 2 free pulls today
gave me a stupid ass 6 star
but idk if i should be mad or not
who invited you
literally just missing ember now'
holy dodge
account sadly bricked
shes staying lvl 1 icl
no point leveling cuz you dont get standard pulls from promotions unlike 99% of other gacha games
im just working on essence atm
going to max the support of clannibal then full max ards and laevs essence
Been hearing that Ember is now the danjin of arknights
Shes dope I love her. Almost done with the wedge. but im also farming the essence for her BiS weapon that comes out in the next week and a half
congrats i guess
I mean she isn't really thaaat bad herself no? it's just that her teams suck ass and needs more units
i just dont like her its not a matter of her being good or bad
is wedge or sig better for yvonne though, wedge effect is always guaranteed to activate but her sig requires crit on BS or CS which is normally ~60%
Brother. Im really sorry for announcing this horrific truth. But it’s over for you. Account forever bricked. There is no turning back from this
i don't really like her sig tbh
Well yeah that's a different matter
sig is about 20% better
assuming a team of xaihi gil lr iirc
is wedge better then nav for her even?
though i still feel like lr yvonne is bait
no
at p0 vs p0 i believe wedge is SLIGHTLY better
poor bp weapons bro
but since its cheap to p2 nav it just wins
yeah i really do believe akekuri is literally just better idk
or perlica
lr as in last rite?
will we have later operators with rifles instead of handcannons?
probably, is there any new record regarding those team? as the last one i know is 1m ulti lr lmao, while yvonne deal like 800k i think
some1 give me an essence 101
yvonne can definitely reach over 1m
n dat with assumption, lr as subdps
if you cant its an investment issue

oh
yeah
yeah.
lr just trashes yvonne in every use case
its embarrassing for her
from current record, yeah
Theres a site that gives you which essence farm you should farm based on your weap
Or just look at the pins in #team-build

i understand i have to farm for like 3 stats i want , bu what is a pre engrave etc
watch the video I sent, he goes over everything
pre engrave just lets you select the stats you want it to roll into and it will always roll those stats
hi chat
alr will do
but it only allows u to select 3 attribute stats and either 1 secondary stat or skill stat. so its still RNG at the end of the day but with a slightly better chance to get what u need
shiny pokemon odds 
Is Detonation Unit universal or "ok-ish"?
tldr use engraving if going for a 3/3 essence dont use them if you just farming em for etching
i see so i pick a few stats i would like (use the cheat sheet to know what i am looking for) , i have a 1/24 chance to hit, once i hit the jackpot, i dump other shit i nto it till its maxed
ye?
etching will be the death of me
which healer for phys team?
yuh
real
supporter weapons dont really need anything besides the last stat since support ops dmg doesnt really matter
i see and how much typically do u need to spend for upgrades till a maxxed BIS essence?
a lot
yea, and the cool thing is that u can either lock it so it wont be used or mark it as trash so u know whats waste and whats not
ion even have one yet so
probably over 100
so u infuse 100 golds into it roughly ?
at least 4
hitting the 8/9 etch is like a 1% chance
But once you max the essence the weapon will glow 🙂
this one alone I spent about 50 trash essence's and its still not done
50 on just +4 +4 +2 is rough
yea RNG was not on my side 
when you etch do u have to have a matching stat to etch or can it be ANY of same colour
Just gold
any
even at high rate I still failed it like 6 times lmao
ok so its basically the exact same gimmick as artificing but ur stamina locked instead of wuling bill locked
i'm at 4/5/3 on my scathe and it's so soul draining
im finna farm kravenger essence even tho i dont have kravenger 🤣
only need 60 coolant for the 450 tho
you're basically there already
got lucky on the etching and still took me like 15 days worth of essence farming for a 6/6/3 for scathe so it's gonna be worse for other weps
60 is just one double run
that is how math work yes
but before you get rid of all your other essences check to see if u have any other ones that may work for some other weapons. I found like 6 that work for some other 5 / 6 star weapons so i locked them for now
whats ake ult gain breakpoints? worth fort over thermite?\
kk preciate you
and at what point do u use coolant gel, for the final hit on each stat?
i only use it for the final and 8/9
my main 2 are this so far
and w this
why are there some weapons named twice
like there are 2 kravengers with LR on both of them
because theres more then 1 place you can get them
you're farming for ard as well? i only got a +3 inf purple for her and called it a day lol
read my name
oh yea
am i tripping the chart doesnt show drop locations just what the weapon wants

that treatment efficiency must go crazy though
i have no idea if theres a area for the locations i havent used that chart
essence? u can see it ingame
essence doc solely to simplified ur process, but all infor already ingame if u try to read
max on 45% lol
i meant like what is the diff between the 2 circled its the exact same info unless i missed sum
Secondary vs ability
read the damn excel table 🥀
slowly but surely
or dat
per heal? that's like double mine LOL
i do NOT understand
its engraving atk% over detonate
Screw it, you need essense of reading comprehension 😭
8/9 on the treatment eff of her weapon moment
15 min trim 
p3 LR LETS GOOOOO
? theres no colour key, u cannot expect a person who does not know what the definitions are to know what it means
yeah idk
they should've made this harder somehow
phy team and surtr nuke clears
nah, its already 363, but my ardel still e3 60
thatll also happen
mines 785 and level 90 wep and ard

im also using the boneruksha chest piece for the ult gain not xiranite cuz its main stat will
literally 99% of the playerbase perhaps
the m7 ard is actually killing me wdym you m1'd her basic
80% ulti gain? same lol
shes going to be m12 gang
question about phys team gear
im running endmin with sig, lifeng p1 with sig, pog with thermite, and p5 chen with sundering steel. im reading prydwen and its saying all of endmin/chen/lifeng should be on swordmancer, should i do that or does someone want bonekrusha?
prydwen
neat and p5 detonator
J
much wow
okay gas done, duo done, time for immobile to be done
soooo all on swordmancer huh? lol
ts is depressing
Immobile is the most aids one
swordmancer ember feels pretty nice? but i dont feel much of increase from other guys
Incorrect substats
ehh, a lot of stagger
is miserable
I guess if you are going pure stagger
but on rest of team it feels bad
And sacking all damage output
ember does dmg?
Ye
oh yeah i get it
Basic attack and finisher's
Ember is probably the best basic attack user
ember will deal dmg at p5, im half way through 
Every other character kinda wants to skill a decent bit
Ember skill is
Quite bad
Tbh
10% atk gonna carry her dmg or smth
Left click with sundered
Good stagger
Ult is nice
Combo can be nice to force a proc and extra vulnerable stacks
it woudl've been so much better if it was a teamwide buff
teamwide buff would make even more sense considering she fits in the phys team
buffing only the wielder is so weird
yeah
yea, i'm considering crit set
she could be descent with p5 and teamwide buff
with sundered
but i would need a freaking essence to be correct
man, i wonder how to equip ardelia for best healing
the forbidden ardelia lynx set
its because of sundered
Yeah
i took sundered instead of other option
Yep
due to other option occupying same box as jet
Same
I WISH ZFY IS LEAKED SO I CAN THEORYCRAFT
How much crit can you get from security set
fr i wanna pull gilberta if shes good with zhuang but we dont know 😭
how many pulls ya got
And are the substats even usable
170
i pulled e1 with 40 bc i just like gil
i think she'll be great with zhuang
(im coping)
pre sure some not official leaks said she has an aoe ability so grouping will be nice
bc electro and nature dont interfere with each other
i mean a lot of the current ops benefit from grouping
so i think gil will last a long time
and even if i get gil now she will just be collecting dust cuz my only team rn is last rite
gil is rlly good for last rite team tho
u sure?
?
yes
so for perlica + avyenna i could slap two natures?
god damn it took so long but i finally did it
super sloppy though
almost panicked and threw really hard at the end
I think Gilberta doesn't have uses on Last Rite team outside of 1 rotation kill.
If I'm correct because Gilberta ult applies Nature and this messes up with cryo application once you start the next rotation, forcing you to waste an skill just to clear the nature infliction. Still viable probably
replace ardelia, her M1 ultimate has 30% art debuff for 5s
Ardelia doesn't apply nature so she doesn't have this problem
and then her BIS gives you arts dmg bonus up to 40% i think
more like one shot nuke
yea gil is used more for one shot nuke
