[frigid vector]

I think we'd get more flak if we didn't have arclight over having her

it amounts to saying "this character is worthless and should never be used"

technically fluorite is almost always going to be a bad pick for cryo teams

you always get more value out of another slot than her, but having her somewhere to showcase she can be used has some merit

[inland geyser]

maybe have some indication of her being lower prio than ake

[peak void]

[inland geyser]

that's the best thing I can think of without actually just nuking her

[frigid vector]

not much we can do on the tier list, like I guess we could put ake over arclight? there's been no thought historically to the ordering

[inland geyser]

can't do the icon size thing?

[frigid vector]

but I can suggest for the tier list updates to maybe have it as an unspoken rule of sorts to maybe order it

I'd have to ask

would probably look very weird though, at this point it'd need some kind of

separate UI element to specify "the best team" or something, that'd be what the tier list placement is based on

I don't really do the tier lists tbh I'm more of a writer but

I can float some ideas around and see what thoughts are

[inland geyser]

alright cool

[frigid vector]

it's a bit weird though cause thinking about it

let's say yvonne

perlica mogs alesh in single burst scenarios or 100 ult energy starts

but alesh is way better for extended rotations

so like, both stay big and then snowshine/fluorite stay small? if it's a second line to indicate the ideal team would it still have both?

[dry kindle]

before or after gambling 🗿

[inland geyser]

just win

[frigid vector]

before

every assumption is always p0p0

alesh can still be good at 100 ult energy starts since he enables xaihi talent

that p5 15s rho kill was alesh instead of perlica

but it entirely skipped final strikes because it had so much damage that it didn't need it

unless there's a p0p0 run that's killing without a single final strike use that I haven't seen

oh

you meant rare fin

[dry kindle]

🗿

[inland geyser]

lmao

[dry kindle]

dies

[frigid vector]

too much gambling in this game

[drifting quest]

no rng alesh is kinda still better if its yvonne

[frigid vector]

just generally, since perlica isn't providing any stack build so rotations are really slow

ye

[drifting quest]

turns out yvonne is just that ass that she requires the sp to function

[inland geyser]

even basic attacking is gamba

[frigid vector]

you have time to build x2 thermite stacks and it speeds up rotations massively, both from free cryo and as shuo says SP

[drifting quest]

the rotations get giga cooked without sp regen due to their cost / length

[inland geyser]

I've had avy miss final strike for no reasons way too much

[drifting quest]

700sp yvonne lines

[frigid vector]

perlica is slooooooooooooooow as fuck, but her full arts intensity + stanza burst is pretty nuts

like the fastest kills I've seen of the latest umbral

don't even bother with yvonne ult

just kill with the finisher on stagger

[inland geyser]

LTG Perlica

[frigid vector]

so it depends on rot length

[dry kindle]

when we getting a corrosion support we can shove intensity on

its gonna be so stupid

[drifting quest]

dps perlica is pretty fire

[frigid vector]

gilberta with hot work cartridge and sig clearly

[drifting quest]

the more i see it

[inland geyser]

I'm already shoving intensity on my ange

[drifting quest]

she slots into basically any arts team and can help clear out trash

[frigid vector]

ye

with how low HP things are currently

oblivion perlica not even a meme, esp on elec

[drifting quest]

she drops ult and that's one wave gone

[inland geyser]

I have both oblivion and det unit maxed

[frigid vector]

det unit probably going to be best for most scenarios but if you need that perlica burst

or you're doing stuff like perli/antal on elec

where antal gets det unit

oblivion can be worthwhile

and of course

pure dps perlica is gaming

[inland geyser]

why does she have crit as one of her used stats though, p5 giving crit on ult

[drifting quest]

if its not waves of aoe trash dps perlica value drops a decent chunk

[dry kindle]

the world if fangyi can use oblivion

[inland geyser]

I can't man

[drifting quest]

since most bossing content is looping burst windows

[frigid vector]

I think maygi had some calcs

that even in single target scenarios on elec team with antal

oblivion was competitive with wild wanderer

det unit blows it out of the water but

[dawn patrol]

20 more days of a banner i don't care about it's so over

[drifting quest]

yeah i can imagine it beats ww because ww is

ehh

[inland geyser]

yeah I tested it myself, dmg% is so insanely over saturated wild wanderer didn't actually contribute too much

[dry kindle]

wdym

its a whole

12.8% damage dealt

[drifting quest]

i am curious which set dps perlica is running though

ive seen like 3

[inland geyser]

pulsar 3p

with lynx kit

[drifting quest]

i wanted to do the math on it but its at the bottom of my list

pulser for dps perl seems

[dry kindle]

slab mentioned

[sterile patrol]

always has been

[inland geyser]

the stone that perlica uses on her finisher

[chilly bolt]

int main stat, slab-able

[drifting quest]

i mean i can see it but idk if its winning

[frigid vector]

[inland geyser]

if you actually use her finisher in rotation

[drifting quest]

talos wiki removed the gear tab from the main menu

[sterile patrol]

her damage is sizable in the team

[drifting quest]

im going to crash out

[dry kindle]

L

[drifting quest]

its what

[dry kindle]

what

[chilly bolt]

time to use prydwen

[inland geyser]

khang the prydwen shill

[drifting quest]

tide fall
pulser
mi security
bonekrusha

[frigid vector]

[drifting quest]

the sets ive seen people running on her

[inland geyser]

bone

wtf

[drifting quest]

i dont think the bone ver is very good

fwiw

[inland geyser]

I've only used pulsar + slab

or 4p pulsar

[drifting quest]

idea is bone gives ult gain on chest
has some will and int on some pieces

[trim salmon]

i have a question about essence. are there different gold essence? why am i getting lower max level for yvonne weapon essence while laev weapon has 9 and 9

[drifting quest]

so it lines up with some rot but like

idg why they dont just off piece ult gain

[trim salmon]

does max level matter?

[drifting quest]

until i check math

[inland geyser]

tune level

[drifting quest]

level dictates how many pips are available

[frigid vector]

your weapon uncap/level impacts the maximum essence

[trim salmon]

ah

[dusk isle]

Gun isnt tuned to max

[trim salmon]

so i need weapon at max to get
9
9
3
?

[frigid vector]

ya

[drifting quest]

80/90 works

[dusk isle]

80/90 unlocks max pips
With 663 essence you get 994 weapon

[inland geyser]

you need max tune to get it not max level, big difference

[trim salmon]

so just max cap at 90, but i can still leave it at 80?

80/90?

rgr, thanks

[daring dove]

This but to be fair, if it's a damage dealers main weapon just 90/90 it. there's no reason to mess around scrimping resources on Base ATK.

[trim salmon]

if i have the resource, i would do this

[drifting quest]

if you're poor its fine to sit 80/90

[trim salmon]

but from what i know, the game is gatekeeping us pretty hard

[drifting quest]

HOLY

THE DAILY ROTATION LOOPS

[trim salmon]

and all resource already went to laev team, so i poor now

[dry kindle]

[daring dove]

It takes time, getting a weapon from 80 unlocking it an improving it to 90 is about 3 days worth of sanity I reckon.

[drifting quest]

WE ARE BACK TO MONAIHE ASPIRANT QUENCHER

[trim salmon]

that is if you have enough T-creds

[covert sequoia]

surely this is not a coincidence

I'mma try it at some point, but making Perlica 90 & giving her crowns alongside leveling Oblvion to 90 is fairly low on my priority list.

[drifting quest]

peak formatting

[trim salmon]

have we got any news or leaks about arknights og operator coming?

[drifting quest]

leaks no

datamines into speculation yes

or well

[trim salmon]

what are they?

[drifting quest]

for reconveners no

nothing

[trim salmon]

oh well

pls rosmontis copy come home

what about skins? also no?

[drifting quest]

absolutely nothing

especially considering during a dev blog iirc they said they dont want to do skins

[trim salmon]

they dont want skins???

arknights og are selling them like fresh bread lol

[dawn patrol]

do we have an idea what rossi is gonna be like

[chilly bolt]

making skins in a 3d game vs 2d game

[drifting quest]

entirely different game genre

[chilly bolt]

some type of crit user

[drifting quest]

we can maybe guess but not accurately especially given things could change

[rare zodiac]

2d is miles easier than 3d

[trim salmon]

i mean yeah, it would push their revenue further and making wallets even thinner

[covert sequoia]

totally understandable, xp and skill mats are quite limited for now

[trim salmon]

but true it would be a pain to do so

[dawn patrol]

on my hands and knees for ake powercreep

[inland geyser]

they'll make it paid if they do anyway

[drifting quest]

Rossi Sig Weapon Essence in the 1.0 Files is ||AGI/CRIT/FRACTURE|| but that could change.

This would imply she is ||probably some sort of striker, if we take Yvonne as a precedent. But it actually means nothing because Fracture skill line just means it's effect is proc'd on crit. She could be any class still. We are just guessing she is probably some sort of crit carry akin to Yvonne.||

[inland geyser]

do the weapon skill prefix even have a meaning

[drifting quest]

again it basically means nothing

[trim salmon]

oh i'm pretty sure many won't mind paying

[drifting quest]

yes

the prefix dictates how they work

[dawn patrol]

2nd heat striker would be kinda nutty

[trim salmon]

if i had to guess. prolly fast paced like clorinde from genshin with a child body

based from that one cutscene

or could be something like camellya or carlotta

idk, or could be like lupa, signature weapon is a claymore but she only uses it for plunge atk, the rest with her polearm lmao

[inland geyser]

paid gacha skins

[warped sinew]

my highest single hit with ember so far, cant wait till i finnaly get sundered prince

[drifting quest]

Brutality - On Vulnerability consumption/application
Combatitive - On Physical Status application
Crusher - On Final Strike
Detonate - Weird one. 2 are on Arts Burst, 1 is on Cryo Infliction, 1 is on Infliction Consumption.
Efficacy - Debuffs (Protected, Knocked Down/Weakened, Susceptibility)
Flow - On SP generation
Fracture - On Crit
Infliction - Apply/Consume different reactions/inflictions
Inspiring - Arts Intensity stat stick
Medicant - HP Treatment
Pursuit - Combo Skill Applies [Reaction/Status/Burst]
Suppression - Different Skill Cast/Hit/Applications
Twilight - On Ultimate cast

should be the full list

minus the 3* weapon ones

[inland geyser]

cool

[trim salmon]

i don't mind waiting nor paying for the skins

still having high hopes from playing ark og

[inland geyser]

I hope they just don't release skins

[trim salmon]

plenty of good skins even if they are 2Ds

[drifting quest]

gross

cant even report it

[trim salmon]

as grim as it might sound, inevitably they will release some skins. it's just more revenue generation for them

[inland geyser]

most modern ak skins are whatever quality wise, I'm doubting until they do something good

[sour kestrel]

is there a better sword for Endmin than Grand Vision?

[inland geyser]

no

[sour kestrel]

no to me?

[inland geyser]

yes

[sour kestrel]

ok

thanks

[trim salmon]

sure they could do something about the skins, maybe like how they monetize skins

they did propose a different gacha system, something new unlike other previous gacha games

so we'll see

if they do decide to go down skins route, good. if not, that's okay

[inland geyser]

how it'll happen: paid skins because that's how mhy does it

[drifting quest]

are we still ignoring they said they dont want to do skins

[trim salmon]

true, or they could do worse. like how girls frontline 2 now have skins gacha system

[thick mortar]

chen best essence?

[inland geyser]

yeah and ak didn't want to do too many limited banners

[drifting quest]

the one that's 3/3 for her weapon

[inland geyser]

see how that turned out

[drifting quest]

ok we can come back in 2-4 years

[trim salmon]

i'm not ignoring them. skins are a source of revenue, and unfortunately we live in a world where big companies NEVER stick to their word. they will lie just to make money

[inland geyser]

so many things that aren't a good idea are in this game just because they're copying the modern gacha formula

🛌

[trim salmon]

it's just a matter of when and how much will it cost

they've made tons of money at launch. surely they wanted more

don't believe me, screenshot what i said and we'll come back in a year from now

[drifting quest]

skins are just valuable dev time they wont want to split at this time to go back on something they said so recently

sure maybe it changes in a year, two years, more

[inland geyser]

it also doesn't help that ak models and textures are, kinda insanely detailed

[drifting quest]

but its a pointless conversation atp

[inland geyser]

so that's a lot of investment

[trim salmon]

exactly why i said come back in a year. even if they said they won't do skins. i don't believe them

[drifting quest]

base AK can make so many skins because the artists are externally hired freelancers

[inland geyser]

usually gacha models are much lower quality, even the best ones

[drifting quest]

and because it's 2d not 3d

endfield models are in house

[trim salmon]

exactly, i have made my points here and still stand by it. they will make skins and some of us will find it attractive/adorable/etc and swipe their hard earn cash

too bad lots of people just g00n every bit of skin they see now

[drifting quest]

genshin, hsr, wuwa and zzz skins are mostly poorly recieved on average so I wouldn't be shocked if they dont bother ever

the cheap skins are bad quality, the good quality skins are too expensive

see wuwa and its what $30 skins

[trim salmon]

like i said, they make skins, good. they don't, also good. it's just a matter of waiting game

[inland geyser]

ak skins would probably be even more expensive with how high quality endfield models are compared to the competitions lol

[trim salmon]

and origeometry has to go somewhere, either people convert it to pulls (very not worth it). or they wait it out for skins

[trim salmon]

i agree

[inland geyser]

they just make the skins in packs instead

so

always paid

[sour kestrel]

is this good armor for chen

I went with crit rate but idk if it's good or not

[drifting quest]

can swap to a second swordmancer flint

[sour kestrel]

?

[drifting quest]

oh its the cr mask not the stagger% one

even more reason

get a second flint on there

[sour kestrel]

better?

[drifting quest]

yeah

[sour kestrel]

awesome thanks

[covert sequoia]

uhm this enemy have low eletric res?

[valid zealot]

No. You strong you good.

[covert sequoia]

[hoary anchor]

could it be possible that we get red tier materials later on considering we only have yellow tier in Wuling so far? Meaning the level cap could be raised?

[valid zealot]

[signal sundial]

blud rolls up with 9+ buffs worth of arts damage and electric damage and asks if the boss has low electric res

[covert sequoia]

hmm my essence is pretty ok for now

could be better

[oblique frost]

Don’t whale/dolphin on standard banner it’s suboptimal

[covert sequoia]

i need her p5 now, i want this ult to always crit

[daring dove]

Kinda not in the long run, since once you get them all P5 you can start converting their tokens into signature 6* weapons. Plus it's early game where resources are the most tight. But yeah I'm only 4 potentials away from having everyone maxed. Which means standard banner isn't worth it for me now.

Since I'm going into it with a 60% chance of just getting a weapon token.

I do really want Embers P5 granted, but not enough to go into a banner with only 20% odds of winning.

[feral fractal]

how much have you spent

[daring dove]

Not that much considering, likely around 2k but there are whales who have spent a lot more who have less overall potentials that me. It's just I was really lucky I still haven't pulled a single useless dupe past P5 on a 6* operator yet.

[outer ermine]

[signal sundial]

they know

this one too

[feral fractal]

i expected higher

[daring dove]

Yeah my account is just incredibly lucky when it comes to pulling potentials to be honest. I'm literally missing a few Pog potentials & 1 Ember potential then everyone single operator is maxed.

[feral fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-covering-mouth-stream-scary-speed-scared-gif-3435748839023247479

but yeah 2k on allat is really generous

rate up is real

[rigid yew]

might be for endfield idk, im copping hard

[drifting quest]

the collab that never was

[daring dove]

To be honest the more I think about the resource issues in this game the more I think it's quite easy to fix.

For example they could simply allow us to buy 200k in T-Creds weekly from Valley 4 stock exchange.

[drifting quest]

there are only resource issues if you cause them

[trim salmon]

thank you for single handedly funding the game

[next helm]

Is that the perlica build?

yvonne items -> perlica?

[drifting quest]

unknown if its optimal

or well

same set

different pieces

[rigid yew]

think about the possibility, introducing "pet" system, custom character from the event, gear cosmetics farm from coop raid or dungeon and since destiny 2 is also about traveling to a lot of planets or galaxy, endfield is perfect for that

[drifting quest]

it got cancelled

years ago

[frigid vector]

I actually fuck with aggressive enemies, makes it way less of a "learn rotation, do rotation" game

only problem is stage 2

where it's not just aggression it's movement

having those bastards line up is such a pain in the asss

banging head agains the wall like I'm in some asylum with restarts to get things to align just ain't it

[signal sundial]

actually for that question i genuinely said i have no problems w it

sure getting them to line up is optimal but you also dont need to do that to be able to clear

[frigid vector]

well yeah

[drifting quest]

this is speedrun context

[frigid vector]

but if the metric is just "clearing", endgame becomes a bit pointless

like ok I can clear easily

what do I do with the character I spend $100-300 on

optimising and getting better clears, improving at how I play the team

[signal sundial]

[frigid vector]

that's the end goal

[signal sundial]

i mean that's fair

[frigid vector]

if the game had some kind of scoring system (e.g. zzz DA) then that could be the way to push things, but as it stands speedrunning is the only thing we can do

[next helm]

zzz system without zzz balance

[signal sundial]

oh that i agree with you

i wish our medals showed the clear time on the trim

[drifting quest]

yeah i dont want endgame to become as bad as hoyo or wuwa's

but harder would be neat

[next helm]

I wouldn't mind more battles like battle 2

but this one is literally unplayable for some teams

[glad roost]

sentenced to playing a normal laev team on stage 2 without a parry

[dawn patrol]

laev wasting her entire ult

[next helm]

I did that like 1.5 hour

[signal sundial]

i think if they were programmed to never simultaneously charge you it might be more fair idk

[next helm]

Swapped to lvl 60 phys team

rank 1 skills

[signal sundial]

but then it's pretty trivial to clear i think

[next helm]

first try

[drifting quest]

i like that the stages are unique

i hope the trend continues

really separates the game from the others in the genre

[frigid vector]

yeah this is the biggest draw for me right now

it's not just

"recycled boss/enemy but with a different buff/restriction"

[dry kindle]

ok but

cc when

[frigid vector]

it's the whole stage setup that differs

ballista and axe is pretty genius ngl

[dry kindle]

give us max risk cc mald already

[rigid rover]

And yet there are CC who are calling this umbral " too difficult for 1.0" xD

[drifting quest]

mainstream cc will say whatever farms the most views

[green acorn]

it's hard for any encounter to be too difficult given the 10 minute timer, especially as the only "challenge" can be entirely nullified with a level 20 Snowshine/Catcher 😅

[next helm]

It might seem too hard if you don't know

[rigid rover]

i dont even know if he is mainstream

[frosty crescent]

Is it worth to get p1 yvonne for energy

[next helm]

If I didn't see that catcher/snowshine just trivialize their stuff

[drifting quest]

probably not

[next helm]

I wouldn't have known these are very easy to CC

[rigid rover]

and his excuse is that if he has to time his skills for the burst window during stagger for the 3rd floor crab its too difficult xD

[frosty crescent]

It fixes the 1 energy problem though

[rigid rover]

there are other ways to get around it

[next helm]

teammate that applies cryo in the future will do that too

[rigid rover]

1 energy problem doesnt happen if youre playing to burst after setup in normal cycle even

[gilded garnet]

how many pulls do i need to secure a weapon from weapon banner

[rigid rover]

you need 8 multies

but thats like max pity

[next helm]

Without other sources its like once every 2x 120 pulls

[rigid rover]

ive never gone past 30

[next helm]

wow lucky

[rigid rover]

laev was 1 pity

[signal sundial]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/644075476297449513/1471717718347481259/image.png?ex=69a116ef&is=699fc56f&hm=ae81920aea65cd8c34a2807d795e246176a512c8207325724a30cda282fcfd04&animated=true

[rigid rover]

gilberta was 30 pity but i got 2 more 6 star before that

so 3 6 star in 30

[signal sundial]

when 1 dies the other should get like +2000% attack and 300% hp regen

[rigid rover]

and for yvonne i got 2 6 star in 30

[next helm]

I just expect every character/weapon to be at max

120x / 8x

[frigid vector]

I've only ever got to full pity

how fickle lady luck must be

😔

[dry kindle]

twin knights cc 🔥

[next helm]

The game could use some new enemy designs

[signal sundial]

unfortunately i got really burnt out on cc i think ever since i tried to do day 1 max risk

[rigid rover]

yeah ive not had this kinda luck in any other gacha either

im surprised just as much

[signal sundial]

nah i kid

i have really good luck in arknights

except for like 2 operators

[rigid rover]

it took me 150 pulls including free ones across 3 banners for P0 on all 3

but yeah that also means i dont have standard characters

P1 lifeng and P0 Ember

thats all

[next helm]

The only thing I would not want to see

Is something like Dusks event

That dragon that deletes the whole map if you have 1 color wrong

[peak void]

i kinda wanna see that

maybe itll the game more challenging

Funniest stuff, it's looks like Catcher have easier time to cancel

[gilded garnet]

oh this is the theory channel . Ohh i see

thanks

[summer flower]

I have seen ember cancel that was removing one of basic attacks before final strike

But I wasn't able to do it

[worn loom]

how much damage should enhance basic be doing?

[next helm]

another one?

[worn loom]

i think they got honeypot'd

[lost raft]

has anyone tried a Set-Less 4-piece Energy Recharge on Pog? Does it work?

[drifting quest]

overcaps on ER, reduces buffing value

there are technically lines with more er, but exactly how much you chase is something i dont know off the top of my head

[gritty olive]

this is your skill tho

[worn loom]

oh sorry, i meant enhanced skill lol

[gritty olive]

i have this for enhanced skill with 4 magma and a little corrosion

thats prob incorrect so let me tweak it

[lost raft]

reduces buffing value? what? in what way? he has no skills that need Will to buff the party, no?

[drifting quest]

You stack Arts Intensity, typically

Which buffs his breach

[lost raft]

oh sorry, this is a Combo-Only pog xD

the one consuming Vuls is Panda

[drifting quest]

If you're combo only (which is not good, relative to other builds, fwiw) then frontiers is typically opted for

[lost raft]

why? Panda combo is 20 seconds anyway

and the only one consuming vuls in the team is panda's combo

which is the only way to trigger pogs combo

[drifting quest]

right you're not breaching at all

you're on your own atp

[lost raft]

xDD

[drifting quest]

it's a bad rotation so it's going to be pure feelscraft

er breakpoints will differ

no value from intensity

no value from damage

you can probably just stack ult gain atp but like

just play breach pog

[chilly bolt]

what does this mean

[drifting quest]

whats the original

without MTL

[lost raft]

any good rotations you'd recommend? just out of curiosity

[chilly bolt]

it's in the dmg sheet

[proud vector]

Shuo returrrrns

[next helm]

Its when they transcend their dental hygiene

[drifting quest]

iana's sheet has the precharged ults variant for dapan
ill be eventually setting up stuff for 0 energy starts but it plays roughly similarly

iana's sheet is pinned

has a lot of good info for physical in general

[worn loom]

2:24 clear with bad dodging/rotation, but with full int stacking laev

no clue how this performs vs a basic hotwork build

[drifting quest]

which one

shimo?

[next helm]

992 int laev

[gritty olive]

btw

[chilly bolt]

there are more than 1 sheet?

[drifting quest]

there's the original shimo one and sten's english one

[gritty olive]

since laev ebs does combustion

[dry kindle]

Nice masteries 🔥

[chilly bolt]

oh yes the sten one

[gritty olive]

would the final attack deal more damage via dmg bonus due to HW

[drifting quest]

it could be anything

aether res?

let me check shimo

[dry kindle]

No pre sure

[worn loom]

ah crap i knew i forgot something

[chilly bolt]

hmm could be aether res yeah

[daring dove]

Btw, what's peoples takes on this weapon it seems pretty good to me but I don't see it discussed much?

[worn loom]

the finisher did 120k, more than this lol

[chilly raft]

Imagine calculating 12 dif buffs

[valid zealot]

Only pog uses it, but thermite exists.

Endmin get GV for .99

[drifting quest]

used as a stat stick for no gv endmin

thats about it

[daring dove]

I guess Endmin isn't consuming stacks in a PHY team?

[chilly raft]

Both endmin and chen have better sig

[valid zealot]

They do but GV is less a dollar.

clueless

[daring dove]

Yeah but that isn't giving on average 17.5% ATK to the party right?

Although I guess this is P5

I might end up better than Endmin's weapon if you had say a very strong Lifeng.

[drifting quest]

if you're a whale and have mb lifeng + potentials on him, have a higher pot repute and a lower pot gv it becomes an option yes

[next helm]

They have everything maxed so doesn't matter

[worn loom]

oh man its 8% more damage per mastery it seems, big mistake not upgrading

[gritty olive]

finisher has 900% MV(m3)+ 1.3 mult due to staggwr

[worn loom]

btw does basic attack level matter for ult enhance basic damage?

[daring dove]

I actually don't even own it or most of the PHY weapons. Haven't invested there at all.

[daring dove]

Usually they have their own separate multipliers, Laevatain & Yvonne for example have a different multiplier that goes up by leveling ult.

So not really, depends how much time you spend out of your ult.

[valid zealot]

For Lae no.

[worn loom]

maybe if super min-maxing ig it matters since youre out of ult 66% of the time

yeah probs not worth the investment over just getting more units up

that said im gonna max out her ult and skill i guess

[gritty olive]

i have basics constituing like 30% dmg

[daring dove]

It's more if you're building only one team & you've finished all other priority investments kinda upgrade. As a lot of operators have a 900% multiplier on their final strike Laeavatain included.

[chilly bolt]

i have same question too is it better to M3 basic or combo if im gonna M9 laevatin

[gritty olive]

20 ish rayther

[gritty olive]

id combo

10s -> 9s be peak fr

i still havent seen something that abuses that, so im gonna hold off personally

i did m9 with combo for her

[unreal light]

How often do ai teammates autoattack?

They freaking do the same amount of damage on basic attacks, as if I was playing the character

[worn loom]

im still put to wonder if this int stacking is actually better than just hotwork or ult recharge

[gritty olive]

Hw is more consistent + less “prone” to fuckups

Since most of the damage would be banked during ult and when she skills since you abuse the 110 skill dmg

[daring dove]

Also for a site with so much detail & well formatted information why is this absurd tier list still a thing.

[gritty olive]

Double slab forces you to always hit enemies to utilize more attack

But at hgiher pot, charge set wins

[oak vigil]

Alesh - T1
Acrlight - T2

ight

[gritty olive]

At 5+0 or 4+4

[oak vigil]

What is Perlica with Wulfgrad even doing in T2

[unreal light]

They are journalists, they job is not to play the game, but to make people want to read their articles for their character is tier S

[chilly bolt]

cuz lin-0 doesnt work on that part

[valid zealot]

Gotta keep the traffic coming.

[unreal light]

Thank you VitDaiNhan

[valid zealot]

Nothing hornymonster.

[daring dove]

My favorite is Antal Tier 0, Gilberta & Akekuri tier 1.

[worn loom]

i do wonder if that 110 skill damage is actually worth sacrificing damage on everything else

[oak vigil]

I am like not even pissed off, I am more of genuinely impressed how they are inconsistent with it, like wdym Xaihi is T1, but Antal is T0

they literally almost do the same thing but for different element

[worn loom]

like wouldnt having 7k attack be more consistent?

[gritty olive]

At p4 youd sacrficie one pyrometer to slab

[worn loom]

im still p0 so doesnt apply

[drifting quest]

tier list = generate clicks and views = generate money
the more wrong/misleading it is the more rage revenue

[unreal light]

She was a 5* girl

He was a 4* boy

[proud vector]

Hmm…

This may be senseless feelscrafting… but it’s somewhat interesting to think about

For the standard LR rotation we go with Xaihi BS LR BS LR BS as the blocks to build to a 3 stack LR combo skill (very shortened notation with the usual stuff like Xaihi CS excluded)

This is roughly a 240 SP cost half-rotation

theoretically, and don’t immediately bash me for this, we add in Flourite. This uses 3 ‘half rotations’ consisting of

LR BS > LR BS > Flourite CS > LR CS
Xaihi BS > LR BS > LR BS > LR CS
LR BS > LR BS > Flourite ULT > LR CS

This would reduce the SP per ‘half rotation’ down to an average of 173.333 SP, 28% less SP.

Is this a noticeably faster rotation? Is this worth considering further?

[chilly bolt]

i mean that's the entire point of flourite

an infliction bot

[unreal light]

She does damage

[proud vector]

The consensus seems to shun her tbf

[unreal light]

People don’t know how to play the game

[proud vector]

And used like this, she would need an achievable but crippling ~100% ult gen

[unreal light]

The notorious guiders haven’t even read a kit of some characters to begin with

[chilly bolt]

you basically trade dmg for smoothness

[proud vector]

Speed and smoothness

Yeah

Speed is a damage buff in its own right

[oak vigil]

Tbh as far as my testing goes, Fluorite is an arts infliction (for arts reactions triggers) set-upper and an actually viable DPS if focused on her

Slowness is just… there to buff herself lol

[unreal light]

The faster you deal damage, the more the dps

[proud vector]

Aye

The rotation is viable as far as I can tell from an energy generation standpoint except maybe the Xaihi not being able to ult until the third step

While retaining the int stack we have now

But from what I can tell, LR can go faster since she isn’t constrained by her combo skill cooldown as much as she is by SP

[worn loom]

good read, seems like pure slab is always behind hw, and loses to ult gain at p4

[chilly bolt]

i can go test rn if you need to compare the dmg of 4 stacks with flourite vs 3 stacks with perlica

[worn loom]

is it behind enough for me to regear, also no lol

[proud vector]

Oh I’m not using her to go 4 stack tbh

[daring dove]

I just can't for the life of me figure out why they gave her a 40 second CD combo skill.

[oak vigil]

longer than Antal’s combo cooldown too btw loool

[proud vector]

I’m using her to reduce the SP burn on Xaihi to fuel CS more efficiently

[chilly bolt]

[proud vector]

The damage should be lower by all accounts since we would be down a buffer

But it should yield more combo attacks more often

[chilly bolt]

then uh

perhaps akekuri is better

[proud vector]

It’s hard to test yeah haha

Hmm, not really

Skipping a single Xaihi BS is like returning 100 sp

Flourite is basically providing 200sp worth of returned SP vs Akekuri’s real SP gain of like what 100?

It’s much much rougher on the ultimate energy generation, but it’s simply more when the goal is to shave time off the rotation

Thankfully LR’s energy mechanics are wacky so she should ult quicker lmao

[chilly bolt]

lemme grab blue gears for flourite

[drifting quest]

it only saves time if the buff you would otherwise have in that slot is irrelevant

which it is not right now

for the sub 10s runs

[proud vector]

Yeah that check out

I’m personally an owner of a p0 khravless LR

So this becomes a ton more significant since I can’t come close to 1 cycle lol

Just wanted to double check my reasoning is sound before perusing the calculations further into spreadsheeting and timelining that is all

[drifting quest]

for average clears its event less of a benefit because it only speeds up every other rotation at best, sometimes every third rotation.
and then your buffs can misalign at times so you dont even end up going faster

[proud vector]

Hmm, yes thought of that. I need to see if it is possible to align things such that I can catch 2x CS and an ult in the 15 second window of a Xaihi ult

Theoretically… it’ll be close

That’s why I pinged a lot earlier on how Xaihi ult buff works in terms of snapshotting haha

[wanton notch]

Bro didnt even understood that he is got Staggered phase 2 lmao

[proud vector]

Well since the only points against seems to be the possibility of desync and fight specific issues

[valid zealot]

Still not sub 1 min so washed smh.

[proud vector]

Worth at least spreadsheeting to see the maths

If it really is just a 28% speed increase, it should be interesting to see at least haha

please just release thermite cutter but for guns I beg of thee hyperglyph

[wanton notch]

fcked up phase 1 susceptibility

[proud vector]

Ah nvm Xaihi ult lasts 12 seconds

Now that’s an oofie ouchie, still possible but tight af

[wanton notch]

FCKKK

I fcked up so many cancels

I wanna die irl

[valid zealot]

Don't kill urself.

Life still good.

[chilly bolt]

@proud vectorflourite

perlica

[wanton notch]

Dont think I can go faster than 1:14 without further upgrades for my team

[valid zealot]

Chill man those dawg might go extinct.

[proud vector]

Damn if anything

This game has awesome camerawork

[chilly bolt]

kinda funny the dmg is the same

[proud vector]

Catcher parry is cinematic af

[wanton notch]

OOOH, wait, I have super cinematic catcher parry

[glass birch]

how're you getting more dmg w/ fluorite (who provides no buffs) than w/ perlica + elec?

[proud vector]

4 stack vs 3

[valid zealot]

Don't left me hanging brotherman.

Where is it.

[chilly bolt]

yeah but i didnt use perlica ult which was my mistake

[proud vector]

^^^

[chilly bolt]

stanza buff is huge

[glass birch]

Ohhh true. That'll do it

I didn't notice it was 4 stack vs. 3 stack

[wanton notch]

Had to find a video to get clip from it lmao

[daring dove]

This has to be the worst weapon banner every created.

Let me fix it a bit.

[proud vector]

The 360 lmfao, nice

[chilly bolt]

how much was the difference btw too lazy to calc

looking from the bar it about the same

[proud vector]

Much too little to ever use Flourite just for 4th infliction I reckon

She is just worse

The highest increase to dps I can theoretically get out of that damn girl is with speedier rot

[glass birch]

234k vs. 248k. ~6% difference

[proud vector]

And that like tapdances hard on Xaihi’s toes

[daring dove]

Is this how many husbando's I can fit into one team.

[chilly bolt]

lol no you missed the first part of the dmg

[proud vector]

The initial freeze and stuff yeah

LR combo skill is multi hit which is funny af

[chilly bolt]

290k with perli

280k with flourite

[proud vector]

I need a single extra Xaihi so bad maaaaan

8 pulls is a bit too expensive though argh

[neat snow]

I decided I'm just playing the long con on the standard sigs and I'll pot them with 6 star dupe coins I think

[glass birch]

Perlica; 35.5k, 11.9k(?), 234k
Fluorite; 32.4k, 248k

[chilly bolt]

that 11.9k is arts burst from xaihi btw

[proud vector]

Ack deto unit

[glass birch]

That's what I thought. That's why I put the ? Lol

[proud vector]

why you little

[daring dove]

Yeah same, it's already hard enough to get the limited character sigs. Better to use P5 6* dupes to get the standard ones.

[glass birch]

The total difference is like 6~10%

[chilly bolt]

wait actually im not sure

where tf did that come from

[next helm]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1396872298027417705/1427934925931151446/A0C99YAVH3JRMESW_AJ1.gif?width=160&height=160

[glass birch]

Its a hit from something

[proud vector]

Isn’t it combo skill ice shards

[glass birch]

Xaihi basic?

[glass birch]

That's the 30k hit

Or the 200~ hit

One of the 2 hits is boosted based on cryo inflict. Its a 2 hit combo skill

[proud vector]

Guess it gets bundles together at the end with the slash

[rich widget]

whats wrong with it? O.o

[daring dove]

The first 2 weapons are complete bricks, the last 4 weapons are only situationally useful & usually have a better alternative.

[rich widget]

thunderberge aint bad on an ult/shield build for ember

[chilly bolt]

i just did the run again and this time only 2 dmg instances lol

gotta do another one

[rich widget]

the others have a place too, its just a slightly more niche direction to go given people dont like how not straight forward ember is

[drifting quest]

yeah but it requires using ember and ult/shield ember

a good weapon for a bad utility would still be probably a bad weapon

[daring dove]

I don't think anyone is actually trying to build full sustain Ember, would be the equilviant of trying to build full sustain Qiqi in Genshin to be honest.

[rich widget]

would never build full sustain ember

but she works as a support

[proud vector]

Who knows, with 6* guardians existing maybe an offensive gear set for them will come out

Like massive buffs if hit

[proud vector]

Bahzerkah mode

[chilly bolt]

weirdge

[daring dove]

She works better as a support with a bit of damage dealing with Sundred Prince from what I have seen. Especially with how much stagger she can pump out Sundred prince seems way better than sig.

[rich widget]

i mean, its really alla bout team comp

i have her with prince

[potent hornet]

pretty

[rich widget]

as my main

but ive played around with erh in support and she works well in that role too, you just gotta make good use of her protection

[proud vector]

god, all I need is for one single goddamn detonate unit for gun, god do you hear me?!

[valid zealot]

Best I can do is 6* ult regen.

[proud vector]

Tangtang save me

[daring dove]

Btw check it, not sure when I'll have the resources to getting around to building her though.

Got it today while trying to grab a copy of Yvonne's weapon.

[rich widget]

yes, we know youre a whale, lol

dont need to keep bringing it up

[proud vector]

P5 looks pretty

real funny how this isn’t her sig

Even though it really is

[summer flower]

Ehh, jelly

[daring dove]

Yep way better synergy than her sig with her to be honest.

Especially when you consider you need to really control Ember yourself to get the most out of her regardless.

Since her entire kit revolves around getting hit.

[summer flower]

For heal/shield I don't think you need to control her

[daring dove]

I think her sig actives off the combo trigger with activates off getting hit.

[summer flower]

Yea, knowing how much ember heals when on DPS build

Should be even more doable not having controlled on shield/treatment build

[daring dove]

Sure your operators will take hits regardless in battle, but it's far more consistent to control Ember an get hit when you need to & dodge when you don't.

[summer flower]

I disagree on that

[daring dove]

I mean I'm not sure what's to diagree about the enemys usually target the controlled operator.

[summer flower]

No, I'm disagreeing on healing amount and controlled operator being ember as much important

Unless you got sundered prince

[chilly raft]

Every play main range and 3 sub melee ?

If you are too lazy to dodge

[summer flower]

Without having impact like playing ranged operator

Which would change situation drastically when carry Is ranged

[daring dove]

I mean you could go the entire battle without activing Embers Combo skill if you have sig an she isn't controlled it's all in the hands of RNG at that point. I'm not sure if they've done any additional AI tuning to Ember to make her more likely to take hits when her combo trigger is off cool down.

[rich widget]

yeah, ember works extremely well without being the controlled operator

[daring dove]

But I doubt it.

[rich widget]

since she effectively steps in front of you every time you use her abilities

[deep topaz]

so who is the better carry right now Yvonne or Lae?

[summer flower]

Controlled

Not ember

[drifting quest]

laev

[daring dove]

Ah my bad then.

[oak vigil]

I am curious, does it trigger on main operators which use counter? (Catcher/Snowshine)

[chilly raft]

Dodge give regen
I still prefer close range

[summer flower]

I assume so

[daring dove]

Still, not sure for most operators you'd want to take a hit, but then I guess that plays into the sustain angle.

[oak vigil]

iirc they still do take damage but heavily decreased

can’t test that because I don’t have Ember!!!!

[summer flower]

You going of assumption of no hit run?

Even if that is not triggered on purpose

[chilly raft]

Also AI of close range kinda stupid
They won't atk sometimes

[next helm]

Got the trimmed medal on fatguy

[summer flower]

It's good sustain when it does happen

[next helm]

Had to restart my game for my 5 minutes of no lag

[deep topaz]

@drifting quest yeah I suppose if you're good at dodging melee is arguably a better carry

[summer flower]

It's lost time

[drifting quest]

dodging is just really strong

yvonne has had a decent amount of optimization since her banner came out and more players got her, as you would expect

but her kit issues still exist

[summer flower]

Time spent dodging is time not attacking

[chilly raft]

Be able to Spam skill is really something

[drifting quest]

yeah

[daring dove]

No, just that Ember has the ability to take hits without getting staggered. So it's less disruptive to take hits on her. That said not all enemy hits stagger you anyway. An sometimes you just fail to dodge. The point is it's less controlled.

[drifting quest]

there's (non speedrun) clears on like rhodagn that can use his aoes as sp batteries

[summer flower]

Did you seen how BS on ember behaves when she is in flamethrower?

Everytime hit it stops her movements

Floats mid air xD

Played both controlled and not controlled ember

[daring dove]

That's kinda funny not seen it though.

[deep topaz]

more sp is more skill = more damage no?
better than basic atk trade off of not dodging

[rich widget]

youd otn need to take hits,you jsut need to be attacked, you can still dodge the attack

[summer flower]

Depends on team

[rich widget]

and trigger her combo

[summer flower]

You sure about that?

[rich widget]

yeah

i main ember

[chilly raft]

Its build based
If you main use basic atk you will want to hit more
If their build boost skill, you would want more regen

[rich widget]

and regularly switch between her and perlica

as controlled

[summer flower]

I main ember and I'm sure it's not like that

[daring dove]

I think Ember is the only operator that it makes sense to take hits on to be honest. Considering she gains a lot of ATK from them as well.

[rich widget]

ember still forcibly takes hits when you use her abilities

[drifting quest]

you still generally want to dodge on ember

there are exceptions

[summer flower]

Ohh you mean BS?

[rich widget]

since as i say, she teleports rght inf ront of you

no i mean combo

you can get attacked, dodge it, then use embers combo skill

you dont actually need to take the damage

to trigger the combo

[daring dove]

Her Sig you kind of don't want to control her otherwise she just ends up constantly shielding herself I guess? Which if you just want to make an unkillable character like Qiqi in Genshin go for it I guess?

[summer flower]

Did they changed that? I swear you had to get hit not dodge it

[rich widget]

im doing it right now lol

[summer flower]

Show it

[rich widget]

just do it yourself, lol, im not going to go to the effort of recording stuff

dont need anyone to believe me, lol

[oak vigil]

Tbh Ember would have been fine as the character if she had actual hyper armor maybe like starting from her 2nd click string

Or skill

no no, on skill would work better

[summer flower]

She got 50% protection and anti stagger on combo skill

Anti stagger on BS

[rich widget]

70% with potential 1

[summer flower]

Plus deals more stagger with BS if hit mid doing it

[oak vigil]

Is it only chance based??? Does it even max out at more potentials?

[rich widget]

kind of why i built my team around her battle skill, because not using it kinda defeats the point in controlling her

[summer flower]

It's DMG reduction not chance for DMG reduction

[oak vigil]

No I meant anti-stagger when getting hit

[valid zealot]

No.

[daring dove]

As soon as ember does her 3rd swing you're supposed to dodge out then do her final strike no?

[rich widget]

every time you use either skill, you get 70% damage protection which can linger beyond activation once you potential 1 her

[summer flower]

Combo is dependent on stagger done I think

[valid zealot]

Some hit is more "stagger" than others.

[oak vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/gif-gif-19494541

[valid zealot]

Like bosses big hit.

[summer flower]

I think BS is immunity for stagger

But didn't check against such attacks

[rich widget]

its not complete immunity

just for most

[summer flower]

I would assume strongest staggers will stop combo, and will not stop BS

[rich widget]

some big hits can still interrupt

[deep topaz]

yeah I suppose but ig I will just skip Yvonne since I already have Lae maybe Zhuang Fangyi will be a ranged main DPS

[summer flower]

Tbh, I didn't intentionally fish for research BS on big stagger hits

[rich widget]

ive had her BS interrupted

so i know for sure

since its the main skill of my comp and i spam it alot

ember, perlica, endmin, ardelia

[oak vigil]

Hmmmmmm… actually a really nice team

iirc Electrification also boosts breach’s damage

[rich widget]

perlicas battle skill doesnt really get used and both ardelia and endmin only use theirs to synergize off one another

consuming corruption or consuming vulnerbale stacks just before a last hit to trigger ardelais combo again

[oak vigil]

You can technically do a forced electrification with Ardelia’s BS and then Perlica’s BS with this set-up, but situational I presume

or Ardelia’s ult and then Perlica’s bs

(since faster casting from Ardelia with her ult)

[rich widget]

ardelia cant apply nature infliction

jsut straight up corrosion

hence i dont use perlicas abttle skill really

[pure spoke]

if not might as well enjoy the beauty of the game

although I've been tempted

at using stuff like OnTopReplica or something

to just grab the bits at the edge and superimpose it over the SP bar

[daring dove]

Screen curves around you somewhat so that helps.

[frigid vector]

maybe I'll set it up someday

which one is that, odyssey neo?

[rich widget]

im a ux specialist and would never do that to myself, but it is pretty lol

[frigid vector]

I mean if you're doing ux for phone that's almost 21:9 aspect ratio

maybe not the 57" ultrawide but

[daring dove]

57 Neo G9 got like 2400 mini LED’s. So kind of does a sudo OLED effect.

[frigid vector]

still something 😔

[rich widget]

interesting, didnt think about the phone angle... im almost entirely on pc

not really a phone person beyond arknights

[frigid vector]

since all these games are phone games

they gotta have some 21:9 support

so it ends up being a boon to the ultrawide crowd

[rich widget]

yeah, makes sense

[daring dove]

Would be rubbish for you, with your YouTube recordings to be honest. Anything outside of 16:9 is pretty much a no go?

[frigid vector]

pretty much

[frigid vector]

which is why I only record in 16:9

a bit annoying that i have to force myself to use a smaller res but

it is what it is

maybe one day just as evolved from the square CRTs

[rich widget]

btw

[frigid vector]

ultrawide will take over 😔

(it never will but a man can dream)

[rich widget]

have there been any oni in endlight yet?

hoshiguma was my waifu and really missing having a one horn oni around

[frigid vector]

no oni characters in endfield yet if that's what you mean, but ofc AK universe got them

[rich widget]

thought not...

shame

[daring dove]

To be honest I occasionally record the odd thing for YouTube an the ultrawide is definitely an off-putter for people. Not professionally just when I want to shame stuff with people. Was thinking of swapping to this eventually when it's out as a bit more of a middle ground.

21:9 instead of 32:9 is a bit more YouTube safe.

[frigid vector]

ye

I myself have an old x34p that's taken care of me for a good 5 years at this point

and I'm happy with the 21:9 aspect ratio

I was contemplating getting one of the ROG Swift in 32" for a nice oled experience but

can't justify it when it'd be a side monitor for gaming/content creation at best

maybe if one day content becomes anything more than a side job/hobby and oled burn in concerns ease out 😔

[daring dove]

I mean if you don't mind something a little bigger, you can likely pick up a cheap 42" LG C2, I have one in my bedroom used it as my main gaming monitor for years. I think they're not a lot of money nowa days.

Really nice OLED picture an still 120hz VRR.

[frigid vector]

yeah all unavailable online so might find a used one for cheap, could at least use it as a TV as well

[signal sundial]

yooo x34 gang

Fake screenshot?

[signal sundial]

mines from 2017

[daring dove]

Yeah they're pretty good an a well kept secret to be honest. The pixels per inch on it is pretty much the same as a 34" ultrawide.

[signal sundial]

i hate that there are basically no IPS ultrawides now

[frigid vector]

😭

[heady pine]

Oh lmao

[daring dove]

I wonder how many people actually bought that thing thinking it's a Thermite cutter.

[foggy birch]

what's the best gear set for alesh in a yvonne team comp? Actually is alesh good in a yvonne team comp?

[frigid vector]

if you're doing extended rotations rather than 1 ult kills

running him without a set and just ult energy gain is ideal

exact gear depends on your potential

[signal sundial]

chat i realised why i couldnt clear marble last night

[frigid vector]

so xira gloves + redeemers, then frontiers top and tube assuming you have artificed ult gain at p4

[signal sundial]

😭

[frigid vector]

use a second redeemers if not at p4

[signal sundial]

i put my thermite cutter on arclight, but forgot to put it back

[frigid vector]

and if you're doing 100 ult start speedruns/sub 30s rotations

then you can run frontiers and still have enough ult gain if at p4+

[drifting quest]

is alesh ult gain breakpoints covered already for prydwen

saves me the time

[frigid vector]

it is on his team sections, I got that written

but not on his review as I didn't touch that

[drifting quest]

yeah makes sense then

[drifting quest]

i can move onto whoever is next then

[balmy wasp]

chat, if Im running a leav team, which one would be more optimal in terms of the team, Antal or Akekuri?

Leav Ardelia Wulfguard ________?

[foggy birch]

I seeee, mann i had to read carefully to fully understand lmao, my alesh is at max pot

[drifting quest]

wulf > ardelia > 5 physical units (although if we get 1.1 news and tangtang is phys Ill prob skip them for now) > laev

should be chill

[drifting quest]

akekuri is baseline
if you dont need the sp (short timeline speedruns, preplanned specific rot, etc) then antal is more damage

[balmy wasp]

aight akekuri it is

[drifting berry]

out of 1.5 jail, congrats Yvonne

[daring dove]

I thought you werent building a Yvonne team?

[foggy birch]

Kinda like this yea?

[chilly bolt]

#justiceforyvonne

[daring dove]

Seems odd to make her tier 0.5 during progression & tier 1 in late game it should be the other way around.

Yvonne is argubly the character that cares the most about artificing & making essences.

[drifting berry]

It assumers you have Gilberta and that probably why

[rich widget]

crit perlica benefits a fair bit from 70%ing crit for consistent ults

[gritty briar]

just gamble on 30% instead!

30% is 100% if i reset the run every time i fail and pretend the failures didn't happen

[drifting quest]

im doing stuff to update prydwen

[rich widget]

lol

[drifting quest]

but i also built my yvonne for testing

anyway

[rich widget]

i guess full crit isnt necessary when you have food too... and the attack from crit set only sees full use with good dmg%

[daring dove]

Maybe it's just my personal preferences here

But I doubt most people are running around munching food constantly during normal gameplay.

It's mostly just the speed runners & min-maxers that are using food.

[rich widget]

well, yeah

i barely use it either

just to make some of the higher end content easier

but thats the only real content to min max for anyway

[daring dove]

I'll be glad when this game goes the Genshin root an just bans food from all harder content so we can go back to considering it a zero factor.

In all team building.

[rich widget]

im not sure honestly

[gritty briar]

well agony already bans it

[rich widget]

they already amde a whole bucnh of systems that make the food important

if anything it should be a consistent part of the game and not banned at all

[gritty briar]

idc if other people use foods but I never use food buffs cause i just don't wanna build around it or farm it

[chilly bolt]

They're gonna ban ardelia next

Supporters cannot be deployed

[gritty briar]

it would be a huge pain in the ass to do something like, destroy your ult charge stat and compensate with ult tacticals, and then feel like a cripple every time you don't wanna use it

[honest hill]

is this fr??

[rich widget]

i mean, how often do you need to eprform at peak endgame level?

[signal sundial]

Contingency contract ptsd

[rich widget]

i feel like you can juwt make everything evaporate in seconds for the most part with a single max level operator

[signal sundial]

-50% sp gain
Vanguards cannot be deployed

[chilly bolt]

Wait is it E2

Oh ye

It is

[wanton notch]

And we call this game mode Contingency Contract

[signal sundial]

Guards have triple deployment cost
Brings surtr anyway

[gritty briar]

well it's nice being able to ult every run when farming without needing to use ult food or something

[unreal light]

Does bonus damage affect arts bursts?

[gritty briar]

also unequipping the ult tacticals and farming them is just a hassle

[unreal light]

Can arts burst crit?

[rich widget]

yes
