Well either way it's fixed now, at least that one was actually misleading

Maybe in a rerun if i get lucky i can cop it

you will have many more units you'll want by then

Im gonna try to stay loyal to lr or atleast cryo

i like collecting p0r1 units anyways

Maybe there won't be that many that fits such criteria

Hope they pump out more gear and interesting char fast, i want to cook some cursed shit

#

Which set you can even use for AGI/INT correctly?

#

Cause it looks dire when to comes to this pairing of stats

tranquil burrow
#

M1 security

frozen tide
#

You don't have to worry about secondary attribute matching

summer flower
frozen tide
#

If main attribute is first line

summer flower
#

They don't really have that pairing at all

frozen tide
#

Its very close to optimal

tranquil burrow
#

I could've sworn it was agi/int

#

What is it then?

frozen tide
#

Secondary attribute second line contributes very little

summer flower
summer flower
frozen tide
#

Lets say your character is agility main attribute int secondary

frozen tide
#

And a gear piece has agility first line will second line

gritty olive
#

0.5% contribution vs 0.2% contribution

#

for main and sub

frozen tide
#

Ur not missing out much from second line not matching

tranquil burrow
frozen tide
#

Its very minimal increase from second line matching secondary attribute

summer flower
tranquil burrow

#

It's INT/AGI

tranquil burrow
#

more sets next patch then

#

since 1.1 comes with new region

#

and we'll probably get those boxes we grab on map

rare zodiac
#

Frontier

summer flower
#

Okay, so what set for doing arts Burts then?

rare zodiac
#

Have Agi/Int

frozen tide
#

What im saying in short is if its agility first line its good enough as far as attribute lines go

summer flower
frozen tide
#

And sometimes the third line out weighs attribute match anyways

summer flower
#

Ohh wait right, CD on combo

#

I'm using that

#

But not sure it's that good

tranquil burrow
summer flower
#

Yea but that's single set matching

tranquil burrow
#

interesting set effect too

summer flower
#

While AGI/str have options

#

I just dunno if getting every X seconds shaved out of cooldown for single nature infliction is that impactful

rare zodiac
#

Is this for Flou subdps build?

#

I would prefer efficiency to CS ult CS ult alternately

Detonation unit or Stanza for support Perlica? Peeking at the numbers It'd say Detonation gives more DPS even if full team is of diff element

drifting quest
#

pots? team?

summer flower
drifting quest
#

perlica doesnt proc deto to begin with outside of electric

#

and stanza does not work on electric

#

idk why i asked for more info

versed oak
#

Wulfgard, Akekuri, Perlica, Gilberta, I wanna make the best of this comp

drifting quest
#

its going to be stanza still

#

even with thermite ake

#

oblivion maybe an angle

neon zephyr
#

Using 200 sp for detonation unit is def not worth it

versed oak
#

Ah, I see, then I'll keep stanza, I'm using edge of lighting on Ake though

drifting quest
#

makes stanza even better

versed oak
#

Seems better with heat and lightning than thermita

atomic kraken
#

what should i farm chat, i feel like i should farm resources for characters but all my characters that i used already built

drifting quest
neon zephyr
#

Idk for wulfgard but on laev, I calced that even with stanza use, thermite is better than obj

oak vigil
#

Detonation unit is kinda semi-stuck currently to just Antal (either for electric, either for fire teams) and Xaihi

#

Since Antal is basically free combo and Xaihi is also that with arts burst to that, while others need to use SP/have way better weapon buffs to use (Perlica as an example)

versed oak
#

I see then I'll get Thermite thanks. I don't have Laev and I just like this team c:

drifting quest
#

obj is just

#

really mediocre

#

on akekuri

#

she caps at 2 stacks at best, usually 1

#

thermite gives more for the same uptime

sleek nova
#

whats breakpoint for gilberta ult charge%? has 200% and I wonder if it's too high

neon zephyr
#

Yeah, thermite usually gives 100% uptime after first combo, even on leav teams that have half the stagger of usual teams. But even if obj had 100% uptime, thermite’s buff is almost twice as good.

oak vigil
#

I wanted to make an objection, but then I re-checked their passive and thermite is literally an upgrade

#

I was upgrading OBJ all this time oh my loooooord, I don’t have mats for thermite now, ouuuuugh

neon zephyr
#

You have to calc gilberta ult regen yourself depending on your rotation. Arclight teams can get away with one gilberta combo and a lot of skills. Last rite need two gilberta combos.

What is the best gear for laevatain? There are so many different build guide

proud vector
#

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of SP. I try to play Last Rite. My SP bottlenecks my rotation. I try to play shatter phys. My SP bottlenecks my rotation. I want to play Laev, Phys. They both need SP. It grabs me by the throat. I run vanguards for it. I keep normal string uptime for it. Its not satisfied. I use Akekuri ult. "Combo skill cooldowns run during ultimate flash dumbass" it tells me. "You still don't have enough SP in time for next rotation". It grabs my resources "Imagine rotations, just 1 cycle nuke things". I can't afford to max the team, I don't have enough sanity. It grabs my inventory, there is no stamina refills left. "Guess this is the end". It grabs rock cancer (50 sp refund). It says "Crystalize!". There is no hint of sadness in its eyes. Nothing but pure malice. What a cruel world.

Anyone know why sometimes when I use Laev battle skills at max flames it doesn’t trigger the special effect?

Do I need a heat stack on the enemy or smth

ancient drift
#

Did I manage to hit Corrosion Level 4, or is it just the crit not showing glitch that’s messing with me?

My ult damage was the same as always — I’m starting to think this whole Corrosion Level 4 thing with this combo might be a myth.

drifting quest
#

are you cancelling it via a dodge or something

#

or not hitting an enemy with part 1

cinder oxide
#

I thought it was a set and done

#

Lmao ok tks

proud vector
#

the visuals of the cyro stacks don't dissapear for half a second after last rite hits combo skill, but you can't seem to ever react with it

#

so it might just be a delay in the visual and the cyro is long gone

ancient drift
#

Yep, the word corrosion don’t appear either

#

And if I do a bit earlier will just consume the cyro and mess with the stacks

@twilit quail i remember you mentioning that p4 lifeng changes things in regards to his gearing and potentially the team setup cause he may or may not outdps endmin?
i have p4 lifeng+mb now but the sheet doesnt say anything on this so im not sure if thats still the case and how i should gear lifeng now.

peak void
#

does treatment efficiency bonus affect tacticals

cinder oxide
#

Calc which gear u can remove based of how long it takes u to get ult

tight haven
#

you can forgo any ult gear

#

because its -15%

#

idr the exact best gear for lifeng though

#

it might be swordmancer gloves, double lynx slab and unsure which chest

drifting quest
#

frontiers t3, swordmancer/mi, yinglung
should all work

#

couldnt say which is the absolute best of the 3

unreal light
#

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Lift. I try to stack aspirant. My lift doesn’t stack. I try to play Sundering. My Lift does not stack. I want to lift up an enemy. My lift is not lifted. It grabs me by the throat. I run chens for it. It’s not satisfied. "You still have not applied lifted". It grabs my sanity "Read up my description in Chinese". I can't read the description, I don't know Chinese. It drives me insane, there is no single phys reaction dealt. "Guess this is the end". It knocks me down. It says "You are not knocked down!". There is no hint of localizing in its eyes. Nothing but pure malice. What a cruel world.

i m getting a lot of mixed answers in #help and they sent me here, what affect crush damage? atk, art intensity... does phys damage increase affect crush damage?

proud vector
proud vector
#

You coulda started with that

hasty grail
proud vector
# low oyster nope

TLDR crush is basically a normal attack but its skill multiplier is determined by level modifier * arts intensity * basecrushmod

low oyster
proud vector
#

Oh it does

hasty grail
#

it does because that's phys damage

proud vector
#

Grand vision is entirely hilarious

low oyster
#

oh wait, i can t read, phys damage increase crush, skill damage doesn t

proud vector
#

Anyways go through the damage formula, most things scale crush damage

cinder oxide
#

GV also has arts intensity which scales crush to the moon

low oyster
#

good, i m running a max art build with grand vision on endmin, so i expect big crush damage cathope

proud vector
#

PerliDerp ehhhh

#

You want good ATK and normal damage up stuff

#

Those scale crush damage too

#

Have you been introduced to the idea of saturation?

low oyster
#

i have no idea what that is, it s my first time here Naruhodo

cinder oxide
#

Ok but 200 arts intensity is funny

proud vector
#

Basically the simple version is you have 4 points

sterile patrol
proud vector
#

You can do 2x2 or 1x3

sterile patrol
#

on crush

proud vector
#

But notice that 2x2 is 4 and 1x3 is 3

#

Ie multiplication is funny

#

And spreading stats out evenly multiplies better

#

Rather than hyperstacking one stat

low oyster
proud vector
#

The biggest crush comes from good ATK, good phys damage bonus, good intensity, good buffs from supports

#

That is saturation

cinder oxide
#

That said hyper stacking on supports is the way

#

250 more AI for Pog

#

Get that Breach to max efficiency

proud vector
#

PerliStareYou so a build that is well rounded will outcrush an arts intensity hyper stack build

#

Maffs

low oyster
tight haven
proud vector
#

PerliStare it’s pretty good yeah, grand vision is solid, but don’t neglect agility (since that scales multiplicativly too)

tight haven
#

id go frontiers armor t3

proud vector
#

And set bonuses I guess

low oyster
proud vector
#

PerliStareYou Dayum

#

Maybe that works

#

But maybe it do more if one piece have phys%

#

Test it yourself tbh

sterile patrol
#

aether set passive aware

#

There is no damage variance in this game so shouldn’t be hard

cinder oxide
#

Aether set passive is fineeeee

digital scroll
# tight haven yeah just pump atk

oh dear. we goin all out then. alright. do we artifice at all? probably no need cuz on content ig Shruge and better save stuff for when we actually need it. endmin stays in the team for now too i suppose. and then just spam lifeng skill Shruge oh also mb worth etching then

# tight haven yeah i swap off of him

oooh so you auto on him and swap for every skill? since hes technically our carry now you wont be using chen skill at all im assuming so do you have time to auto on him if hes 2xskilling every rot?. do you still run a crusher?

tight haven
#

again i only really do this because i like lifeng

tight haven
#

my phys team isnt fully raised (endmin and chen are still lv60) so im playing it as you typically would with crushes

#

lifeng is fully raised so it might be worth thinking about how to make him a full-fledged main dps

# tight haven again i only really do this because i like lifeng

i would pref pog onfield tbh cause he has the smoothest autos (chen wins but sundering ugly so go die) but lifeng autos are high value i can try to do swapping between him and pog during their respective skill anims. oh for sm gloves you went ult dmg or phys dmg glove?

Extra DMG on enemies with that

#

This kind of stuff

gritty briar

because corrosion actually has a use even if no one in your team has any interactions with it

combustion kinda dog on its own

some are like blocked afaik

neat snow

Refresh is just getting things faster is all

kindred sorrel
#

mullvad and proton both work

#

it also could just be site cookies or something

drifting quest
#

yeah i have mullvad

tranquil burrow
#

I use Proton VPN personally, cuz I use their entire suite of products

#

It's quite nice

midnight stirrup
#

Esp with no endgame content

drifting quest
#

i need to buy op to refresh

neat snow
#

I don't disagree

drifting quest
#

to build yvonne

#

for testing

neat snow
#

But I like getting things faster

tranquil burrow
#

Are you turning around

#

Did her menu animation get to you

drifting quest
#

no i still think she's terrible

midnight stirrup
kindred sorrel
#

i think im actually skipping yvonne tbh

#

i got her off banner on laeva banner

drifting quest
#

but im not one to let bias get in the way of fair testing

midnight stirrup
#

I might get her just bc I got the free 10 pull

#

But uh

#

Skipping otherwise

tranquil burrow
drifting quest
#

gilb going in (nearly) every other comp

tranquil burrow
#

Nah

midnight stirrup
#

Yes

kindred sorrel
#

im at p4 gilberta but i think it'll be enough and she's probably going to fit other comps

tranquil burrow
#

I don't care about forcing her in

#

I don't have an electric team

midnight stirrup
#

Its not even forcing

kindred sorrel
#

so i dont really care for yvonne team

midnight stirrup
#

If anything ur forcing urself to pull Yvonne

tranquil burrow
#

Yeah

midnight stirrup
#

To get the 'ideal' Gilb comp

tranquil burrow
#

Yeah

midnight stirrup
#

When nature dps is next patch

#

Lmao

tranquil burrow
#

Who knows

#

I will be pulling Rossi & Tangtang regardless

twilit quail
#

gilb isnt support for any element it's support for certain play patterns

midnight stirrup
#

So why gimp urself with Yvonne

kindred sorrel
#

hope she works with zhuang fangyi prayge

midnight stirrup
#

Unless u like her

tranquil burrow
twilit quail
#

if you are burst, good

drifting quest
#

gilb is a support for any dps with specific short burst windows

tranquil burrow
#

and applies vuln stacks while at it

kindred sorrel
#

skipping yvonne for zhuang fangyi, but if tangtang is a strong endmin/da pan replacement for phys teams, i might go for her too

twilit quail
#

if you dont actively use affliction stacks

#

even better

sinful peak
#

Rossi is nature?

tranquil burrow
#

Maybe

twilit quail
#

I love kuro games

#

purple fire

kindred sorrel
#

according to possibly fake leaks, maybe

twilit quail
#

nature

tranquil burrow
#

Heat vanguard agenda found dead in a ditch so far

twilit quail
#

lightning? you guessed it

midnight stirrup
#

Rossi is physical or heat

twilit quail
#

also nature

midnight stirrup
#

Miss me with that nature

drifting quest
#

i love how one person will post a 'leak' and then all critical thinking skills vanish

tranquil burrow
#

So hopefully heat vanguard

kindred sorrel
#

its very likely all fake leaks tbh

tranquil burrow
#

It's a 50/50. Either they're right or they're wrong.

kindred sorrel
#

tangtang being a pistol user is probably the only thing that is almost 100% true

drifting quest
#

never forget tangtang has been 'leaked' to be:
fire
physical
ice
nature
electric

tranquil burrow
#

We don't have any basis to assume either far as I'm aware.

midnight stirrup
#

Oh im not leaking

tranquil burrow
midnight stirrup
#

Its just very unlikely shes nature

#

I dont buy it

tranquil burrow
#

Rossi I was hoping would be heat vanguard so I still hope the current "guess" is wrong

kindred sorrel
#

i hope not

#

i dont want to pull for rossi

tranquil burrow
#

Man I don't need more strikers

midnight stirrup
#

Heat is very unlikely for the solo reason we just got Surtr

tranquil burrow
#

I need more premium units for the teams I have

midnight stirrup
#

Only reason I see it happening is Wulf synergy but no dev cared about that before

tranquil burrow
#

it'll only help

midnight stirrup
#

Only if shes a subdps

kindred sorrel
#

if rossi was a support for laeva teams all the rossi 😭 fans would get pissed off probably

midnight stirrup
#

True

kindred sorrel
#

and i personally dont want to pull for her for my laeva team

midnight stirrup
#

I personally think shes physical

kindred sorrel
#

because i intend on skipping her

midnight stirrup
#

Physical lacks a proper dps, electric does and nature does

#

Why add a 2nd fire dps

tranquil burrow
#

Literally no one is guessing she's heat striker

midnight stirrup
#

Speak for urself

tranquil burrow
#

It was heat vanguard and now nature dps

is sundered prince or exemplar better on da pan? (when controlled)
sundered has the crit and more str, while exemplar has the phys% and more atk%
but already a lot of phys% from aethertech so idk

drifting quest
#

Shuo is Chongyue

river scroll
#

why I never see Snowshine being used on LR team yet? she seems to be very useful for cryo infliction, and you can do your AA uninterrupted (no dodge), as such reach finisher faster. her battle skill give sp back too. you can literally do LR Combo skill spam with her.

#

only realized this because I'm raising my Dijang worker for nexus

#

by spamming Alluviums

#

it's seems consistent and the sp back actually alot. i think you can fit Xaihi too.

LR, Snowshine, Xaihi, filler

#

Snowshine can inflict like 2 cryo infliction in short amount of time btw

drifting quest
midnight stirrup
#

Its also just completely unnecessary to gimp yourself so much for faster cryo infliction, when properly learning to play LR with Xaihi stacks fast enough

#

That team hits like a noodle

#

Also why Ember

river scroll
river scroll
midnight stirrup
#

Youll see how big the damage falloff is

#

And last time I checked you didnt run ult Laev unless fullfilling specific conditions

I see... PerliStare

Ultspam laev is preference content team etc

river scroll
#

ok, but I'm too poor now... maybe next patch

drifting quest
#

As to value

midnight stirrup
#

Building LR team?

#

Ur chars are lvl 48

river scroll
#

no resource

midnight stirrup
river scroll
#

yes PerliWaaaaa

midnight stirrup
#

Thats nothing

river scroll
#

no wait

midnight stirrup
#

You have plenty of resources

river scroll
#

it's 41 actually

midnight stirrup
#

Use LR Xaihi Perlica Ardelia

river scroll
#

i have no Sanity

river scroll
midnight stirrup
#

Good, then dont bother with Snowshine, Ember Fluorite

river scroll
#

oh... wait

river scroll
#

for dijang

#

the mood boost on nexus

midnight stirrup
#

I mean you can still use them while theyre on Dijang

#

Oh wait

river scroll
#

yeah but you need to level them to unlock the dijang mood buff skill

midnight stirrup
#

I cant read

#

Anyway

#

Use the team I mentioned as ur main LR thing

#

Can swap Ardelia for Gilberta depending

#

Akekuri works also

potent hornet
#

alrighty, no need for engraved tickets for me anymore

#

got perfects for all the current usable 6* weapons

#

now i just need to pull for the actual weapons i don't have yet

vague rampart
#

corrosion description said "gradually losing res against all elements"

#

is there any graph showing how much they lost per sec?

river scroll
#

actually i also want to know does the effect instantly lost if the corrosion get consumed?

ancient drift
#

Whats the benefit of using Perlica instead of going with Ardelia+Gilb on LR team, the dmg u end up losing on LR’s CS is totally Compensated on the DMG u gain on her Ult, or am I missing something?

From my tests Ardelia+Gilb always gave me the best dmg output overall… Maybe depends on which armor u are using? If its combo skill % dmg for LR P3+ or Ult dmg% for LR P0-P2 idk…

potent hornet
#

i can't find it tho

#

my brain says up to 12% at max

#

for just straight corrosion

vague rampart
#

hmm, 4 stacks?

#

quite a lot

potent hornet
#

yea

#

don't quote me on that tho

vague rampart
#

dw at least i got the base value

#

thanks

ancient drift
#

So for LR P0-P2 - Xaihi- Gilb - Ardelia would be the best team, and the Ult Dmg % Armor.

For LR P3+ - Xaihi - Perlica - Ardelia, with the Combo skill % dmg armor. Would be the best teams

potent hornet
#

12-24% 1-4stacks

#

yea ok its on the wiki atm

#

thought i had it saved somewhere

oak vigil
potent hornet
#

its one of the reasons i want a dot team

ancient drift
oak vigil
#

Yeah if just one cycle - fair

#

👍

gritty briar
#

Hey does anyone happen to know if the attack that triggers a stagger also benefits from the stagger damage increase? I assumed yes but just making sure

ancient drift
#

Having that gilb ult on last phase of Ballista & Axe makes all the difference

#

Since I will have to ult without any stacks

#

My time is 1:35sec on them

oak vigil
gritty briar
#

aw

ancient drift
drifting quest
#

once you have a level 4 corrosion going you can use level 1 corrosions to refresh the countdown but keep the level 4 effect

ancient drift
#

Is there a way to effectively use that in our favor, on LR or Laev team?

gritty briar
#

Like trigger level 4 electrification once and then just sustain it with perlica combo and never need to stack electrification manually again

rare zodiac
gritty briar
#

oh

gritty briar
#

does it not just use the 30 second duration from the 4 stack electrification?

#

it just uses perlica's duration?

#

okay nvm that sucks

oak vigil
river scroll
#

does corrosion effect last when the debuff mark gone? or no? like when it got consumed

river scroll
#

ok thx

oak vigil
#

By like 75%? I’ll go re-read the passive from copies, one second

rare zodiac
#

75%

gritty briar
#

for some reason i was thinking it would just reset the duration to the max duration of 4stack reaction but i guess only extending by her skill's effect makes more sense

oak vigil
drifting quest
oak vigil
#

But yeah, going back to the topic, is there really a reason to up-time arts reactions? I feel like by just doing cycles per usual you can refresh it without micro-managing between them

#

I mean it is doable, but didn’t see anyone doing that

drifting quest
#

other than 4 stack corrosion which you maintain most teams do not care

#

solidification exists to be consumed or expire
combustion is just sneak in some damage, proc combos
ardelia forced corrosion is to be consumed via skill or marginal damage
perlica forced electrification is to amp damage for a bit

#

i suppose breach as a reaction has its uptime maintained

midnight stirrup
#

I compared buffing ults during casting LR combo and before casting combo. Before casting combo made the damage increase.

#

So I assume all multi-hits that hit a staggered enemy that got staggered by the first hit of the multi-hit, all count as non staggered damage

oak vigil
#

Huh, good to know

summer flower
#

Hmm

summer flower
#

Because first case is stats buffering

#

And it's operator side

#

While stagger is on enemy side

midnight stirrup
#

Feel free to test

#

Im not bothering with multihit specifics

summer flower
#

50/50

#

Either it is or it's not like that

midnight stirrup
#

Again

#

Feel free to test and disprove it

#

Feelscrafting doesnt get us far

Why this stupid team works so well together? (I think with food buffs I can get like 1 minute with it lmao, especially if I actually crit on my Finishers)

drifting quest
#

why does a wheelchair comp do wheelchair comp things?

unreal light
drifting quest
#

better effect
l1 can reset duration of l4
better units to do it with

oak vigil
unreal light
#

It starts with 7.2% debuff

wanton notch
midnight stirrup
#

We need a mode that instantly gives ults upon entering. I wanna test out if theres a frame window where u can consume 4 cryo and apply corrosion

unreal light
#

While electrification is always at the corrosion maximum

oak vigil
drifting quest
#

they're identical just at different brackets

#

technically elec lasts longer but

#

you're maintaining uptime

midnight stirrup
#

Too much effort

unreal light
#

Corrosion starts with small debuff

drifting quest
unreal light
#

And becomes as strong as electrification only near its end

drifting quest
#

unless your argument is purely the few seconds elec is larger for

#

which is silly

unreal light
#

No

#

It’s literally what I am saying

#

Corrosion gradually increases over time

drifting quest
#

and once it is at max

#

it remains at max

unreal light
#

To the level of electro

drifting quest
#

future corrosions do not reset it to a lower amount

unreal light
#

Ahh smart

drifting quest
#

it remains at the 24% base

oak vigil
unreal light
#

But that means I have to prepare 4 non-nature stacks each 30 secs

#

Right?

drifting quest
#

no

#

a level 1 corrosion will not overwrite a level 4 corrosion

#

when you apply the level 1 corrosion you retain the level 4 corrosion but use the level 1 corrosion timer

unreal light
#

But does it add 30 more seconds

unreal light
drifting quest
#

because the timer is the same?

unreal light
#

I genuinely don’t get that part

unreal light
#

It increases

drifting quest
#

only electrification increases its timer per level

#

or breach does too

#

but outside the current discussion

unreal light
#

Oh wait

#

It’s not electrification

#

True

#

Wait that’s so true

drifting quest
#

solidification/shatter, corrosion, combustion have fixed timers

unreal light
#

Thank you

#

I preemptively assumed all the timers are the same as electrification

twilit quail
#

vs most enemies in the game rn electrification and corrosion are going to be functionally the same because they have no resistance and hence the resistance zone, if corrosion is reducing res by 20, will be (100+20)/100=120%

#

which is no different from applying 20% dmg increase

#

however if the enemy has 20 resistance

#

you will go from (100-20)/100 = 80% to (100-20+20)/100 = 100%

#

which is actually a 25% increase in dmg dealt

unreal light
#

Huh interesting

twilit quail
#

it's just that using it rn is really awkward

#

and not many chars can do it

wanton notch
unreal light
#

And what’s the time I have to wait for corrosion to be at its maximum debuff percent

twilit quail
#

uh for example

#

lv1 corrosion starts at 3.6

#

then increases by 0.84 every second

#

until it reaches the cap at 10s

#

then scale that up with your status lvl + intensity

unreal light
#

10 seconds I see

#

And I do want to have my chara lvl 90 cause it further improves the corrosion character level scale

Higher lvl actually makes your reactions strongest

I mean the biggest part is the scaling for reactions

You already clear everything super fast so it just makes it so you interact less with game mechanics and its not like there’s that much either

I do it for the love of the game

Solo Da Pan runs
