on one hand that would suck so bad but on the other hand at least we'd have rossi supports
considering they're meant to be on-par, id assume they use the same artificing catalysts, but who knows
We kinda know who's in 1.2
we just wait and see
- i know, ive said that good numbers can save her like 3 times. this does not change the fact that if we are comparing a physical team which has buffs for physical damage, and we look at one skill that does physical damage and one that does arts damage, it should hopefully be rather obvious that assuming ridiculously overtuned numbers the former is going to deal more damage
- that was a separate discussion not my fault you assumed it was related
- i mean unless you expect us to get cdr gear as a third line (???) then the only factor is uge% which is something that has been discussed here regarding rossi several times
we should be getting info in a weeks time? I hope
They didnt even say if its 70 or 80 or 90 gears
no harm in saving artificing catalysts beforehand as a precaution
i mean the new gear is gear being crafted w wuling materials so it would make some sense if the wuling catalysts would apply (not like theyre called xiranite catalysts rn), but thats mostly copium/speculation
not like we're being held back by non-max artificed gold gear
Fair but who knows right xd
it's like show and tell but without the tell and just yap
like you can yap but don't be vague af
shows you gear
refuses to elaborate
ends video
thank you hg so based
we're not getting a new sub pac right?
we're getting a new subpac in 1.2 allegedly
We do not know 👍
I still think mono phys Rossi is like sticking a square in a circle hole


surely we'll get dedicated supports and rossi comps will be meta defining
thankfully (or not) the circle hole is an entire bucket and you can put any shape in it and clear
Obviously. It's entirely non-synergistic with her kit.
i mightve just not watched carefully enough but iirc they said in 1.2 we're getting a new outpost = subpac so i doubt they release one in 1.1 too (especially since its story tied) without giving information about it
- I'm not afraid to admit the odds are pitted against her, but you repeatedly claim, confidently so, that rossi will do shit in a phys team, which is based on assumptions that her numbers will support your opinion
- The topic of the discussion is not the matter, you're avoiding the point
- How is CDR gear related at all? I'm talking about her numbers now because YOU brought it up, looking at any op's "suggested gear" in their preview on banners will tell you that the devs aren't the greatest players to ever exist, and wont always have the most optimal gear for every situation when creating said previews
Just give me a support that can buff crush please ffs
please dont release an art intens support 😭
doesn't practically every phys unit buff crush enough?
i believe they stated that we're getting one in the wuling expansion but i could be misremembering
also u know the future "auto collect" Qols they mentioned them in a previous patch but now we have to wait till 1.2 or even 1.3 
tbf they just said they were "working on it"
it's coming soon™
if that was true they could've shown it like that ain't hard to do
gibby holds some potential as a partner that would allow you to force her into the circle hole, but whether or not it will perform is unknown
also depends on the intricacies of how her cs1 and cs2 actually
- trigger
- activate
- apply vuln

ask HG not me lmao
lemme re-skim the video
Its not enough!! Chen can be replaced so endmin can go hyper
Physical support that can directly crush buff with vuln stacking kits would be nice
Ps. its just me yapping
the issue with this is what we know gilb's stats and using a dedicated slot to increase the arts sus she applies by like 5% is beyond stupid
ok nevermind they were talking about future wuling expansions, 1.1 will NOT have an outpost
Only one map expansion within wuling a small one which is qingbo stockade
her dedicated slot use is purely to fuel rossi's rotation (and buff her ult if its any worthwhile)
at the end of the day it was just a throwaway thought and I was just curious about a potential quick-cycling rossi vuln rotation
So just extra way of getting bills
I mean Gilbert works if you're building the team around Rossi, but the former doesn't do anything to mono phys 
Not another subpac xd
actually did they even mention expanding the wuling stock redistribution?
I do want another sub pac 
tc is hyperbolic in nature, that's just the general atmosphere when you're trying to minmax stuff. I can admit it might be offputting for newcomers but anyone (from the server or not) that is invested in tc (and hence the channel) is generally clued into that nuance. it is exhausting to include huge disclaimers each and every time. ive routinely said if you want to go backsearch and not cherrypick about how it's all relative, and that rossi comps can still clear, but that defeats the purpose of TC and the channel exisitng as a whole
we dont need numbers to make assessments of a kit however, if this isn't intuitive to you as to why I can try to explain it a bit better if you explain what you don't understand but the idea that we require numbers to theorycraft is a bit absurd and pointless.
granted I could always be wrong, as always. I certainly don't have anywhere near a perfect track record, but at the same time there's a lot I've been right about. the whole point of tc is to have opposed opinons and discussions as a result, to avoid an echo chamber
if you have reason to refute things I say then say them, but you don't need to get pissy, angry or insulting about it if you dont agree, I certainly dont think I was until it was in return
i dont know what you mean numbers wise if you're not talking about combo skill cooldowns and ult costs, so you'll have to elaborate
wow holy yap
someone get this guy outta here
yeah she lowkey doesn't, she applies vuln on cs but it will be very difficult to trigger without utilizing both rossi and gibby's ults back to back
Yes coz they mentioned upgrades on the levels of the picture thingy in wuling
The stock red
Depot
I'm not reading that, but yes. You can do mechanical TC without numbers.
the thing is that rossi wants to be a pure dps on an arts team (she only provides 5% arts sus basically and consumes a stack for it), which isnt good
we dont have numbers on her dps rn, but i doubt (speculation) it will be that good because she has some supportive capabilities for phys
thats not what i'm opposed to, what i'm discouraging is making factual claims using that tc which is fundamentally based on educated guesses
dont mention the word speculation to theacc
nothing said here is ever factual
then dont act like it is
this is true
bar the obvious stuff like 'rossi is a physical guard'
im not bringing this up again
the purpose of this channel is to get as close to factual as possible
because a "best" team will probably never be discovered
Yeah, that's just called being a dumbass.
call it out each and every time then
dont cherrypick it
oh hell no it's calculus limits again
You forgot to say this:
"This information is based on currently known information. It is speculative and based on my own opinion and might change as more information is released, we get numerical values and actual testing is done. Some comments might be hyperbolic due to the way I talk and do not necessarily reflect objective truth. Some comments may be presented as fact even if they are opinion." 
my bad
the buff icon with 2 crossed Swords is usually ATK or DMG% right?

i can assure you trying to call it out every time will very quickly get exhausting
again, my interest wasn't even rooted in her damage to begin with, purely in her utility
because of the way people just naturally talk
her damage would only be a bonus, but i'm avert to trying to guess her numbers so i chose to ignore it
she has negative utility because she needs an arts infliction
It's very exhausting yeah 
please stat this is opinion
? its one of my few times here and it was because i wanted to have a good faith tc regarding rossi's kit, something i initially tried to do in #team-build only to be driven away by exactly what i'm opposed to right now
What you should said was like: "she has negative utility because I think she needs an arts infliction"

again, we dont know until we can get our hands on her and test how her cs functions
i mean the issue is (from the inside perspective) is that you're policing the way people talk because you don't like the way they communicate
rossi is a character with endfield
Can i say now that yvonne can solo?
woah u think as well
it's just a hostile stance to take
how am i supposed to take anyone here seriously when every sentence is dripping with sarcasm and petty to no end
it's responsive to your attitude
bugs in the big 2026
im not saying its a good thing
i made a criticism and was met with a whole lot of bad faith arguments
but if you initiated more calmly then this would not have happened
Yvonne solo clear
This discussion has devolved into stupidity
^^
its barely a discussion
So you pulling?
again
im offering a discussion if you want it
but you dont seem to for whatever reason

I think I am not pulling her because I think Tangtang might be good in Last Rite team
so i will be the adult and disengage
Not like you aren't part of the problem but eh, I'll see myself out now.
i will be pulling potential woman
See what I mean
thats exactly why i was agreeing

Ohh
p5r5
i was very calm at first, i asked you some questions for clarification and we were talking about whether or not she would be sp locked, then suddenly—i dont even know how—the convo sidetracked into an ult damage discussion and then factually comparing her to chen when we dont know her numbers yet
i feel like it's obviously implied that people are talking about the hypothetical that the details of her kit was shown was most of what's relevant and assuming reasonable numbers, and that obviously if something was hidden that would change everything, anything we say would be invalidated. I don't think it needs to pointed out
We'll have to see what the new gear set (frontier) will do for Last Rite 
Swordmancer with arts intensity
mb not new i mean the red ones


red gear in the big 2026 💔
red gears will probably be higher numbers instead of a whole different effect right?
a ton of new body pieces means there's a lot of potential for a better off piece to drop, rather than the current 4 viable options
Im coping hard for my endmin
Yep
equal stats, different stats, same sets
oh btw if anyone wants to have some good faith tc later about whether tangtang will be good w yvonne or not ping me
we need all the colors 
that's what i said
should be unless the numbers are genuinely terrible
i meant same set skills
there's some very rough timelining going on for yvonne tangtang gilberta xaihi
and alesh xaihi
which looks pretty good
Tangtang will fix Yvonne but not entirely 
so like, it depends how long her ult is active for
since we want to get her talent 2 as much as possible
I can admit fault to not reading the room properly, I definitely could have not notice the nuance in the discussion, but when i criticize it and am met with assumptions about my stance and snide comments regarding the game being "easy enough to do whatever" for some odd reason, then I'm going to get irritated. I dont think that's unreasonable to expect
yeah it depends on that
we might do the gilberta thing where we only activate it near the end of yvonne ult
so that we can still plunge post yvonne ult
for the next rotation
cope that the buff Tangtang gives to the entire team after she hits final attack on an enemy with cryo is an attack buff
gay gear 🔥
Can tangtang solidfy right away?
tangtang doesnt have any solidification in kit
tangtang is all cryo inflict
only natural reactions
Oh sadge
so even later than now? people use gilb ult when she does some flipx I'm no Yvonne main but that's what I have seen

whatever, its beating a dead horse, what could have been solved by a simple clarification on both ends devolved into a petty slap fight; my goal was never to derail and thats not what i'll do
depends on the length the ult is active for but yeah could be later than gilbs
tangtang ult doesnt buff by itself anyway, so there's not much lost by waiting on it, unless something like one of her weapon choices requires ult cast
yeah just for cryo teams possibly LR
its there for utility in the timestop esque effect
in that scope tangtang doesnt solve as many of yvonnes issues
unless the ult has a super long uptime
I mean hope that she does good in LR team
there's a debuff applied that seems to have it at 5-7s
might even run alesh on lr
which is pretty dire
Stanza Perlica who don't use SP is yk hard to beat
isnt the debuff after you do dive attack
Alesh getting his screen time huh

the issue i have with tangtang and yvonne is that last rite seems to just be better tangtangs timings are weird since she wants to be used after most of ur inflictions are applied
do you have the rough timelines you could share?
as far as I could tell from the demonstration, her weapon does things when she applies cryo(she gains Cryo DMG Buff) and when she hit her final strike on an enemy with cryo(gives entire team a offensive buff)
doesnt appear to be because they showcase it during yvonne ult
let me see if there's any screenshots I can grab
in the ult showcase thats what it seems like
which depending on how long the arts sus lasts, im not sure works well w yvonne who has setup that she needs to do after her active skill
its a private discord so they might not want to share
4 weeks until rossi....
Think so
it's definitely after sanity discount event
Play endfield


March 12th for 1.1
March 29th for Rossi Banner
~April 15th or so for 1.2
there's no game in my game
Just lose the 5050 to Rossi 
hell no

do dps ardelia
next patch It will be even better
will tangtang do well with last rite? i dont wanna pull for yvonne tbh but i really like tangtang
Trueeeee
More uptime for ginseng runs
time to get my 10m rhod clear or whateva
should yes, outside of speedrunning where tangtang might be too slow
general clears, trims (esp longer bosses) tangtang should be more comfy

Would tangtang replace arde in current LR team that has perlica
She's the same class as Perlica so either replacement or side by side.
If she's ice ver of Perlica then that's not good for LR team
Unless her combat skill is a bit diff
I mean Perlica don't need to spam BS she's only there for electrification and stanza buff
arde is there for arts susceptibility
Tangtang kit got arts susceptibility

its a no go on direct screenshots but uh
basically there's a couple assumptions that affect how we plan to timeline
if the whirlpools can last enough for multiple tangtang combo skills then we want to stack them up which is where gilb should end up better performing
if we have to combo > skill every time or lose the whirlpools it should favour funnyman alesh gaming
ult should be safe-ish to use purely for stacking in precharged ult content since we can get it back before we loop the cycle (can differ per true ult cost, but a couple of the vague guesses align enough)
we might be running like er% yvonne stuff to compensate for the sp return since it can somewhat misalign ult a bit, but also it is kinda a non issue because we can get more stacks in the same time period. one of those things to consider and look into more when we do get numbers
depends on numbers
Depends on tangtang's battle voiceline 
alright so nothing groundbreaking really but that does reinforce most of what ive already thought, thanks for sharing
she just seems so much better for lr than yvonne i feel theres actually just no point in theorycrafting for yvonne
Yeah because I think arde arts susc is just 15-20%(lv 9 to M3)
And her wep gives 16% arts damage taken at P0 I hope Tangtang does it better 
assuming consistent gameplay optimisations against typical content yvonne is pretty close to lr
Right now?
and tangtang definitely seems to help yvonne more than lr
so it's not impossible to see the scales tip
This was always intended.
and yvonne becomes the better cryo carry
that could happen yeah
last rite has the benefit of being more skill proofed right now
which wont change
They probably had it planned out right from the Yvonne beta changes.
I feel like against bosses last rite wins?
but with tangtang freezing bosses for Yvonne might change

odds are in optimised gameplay you never see much use out of boss freezing other than as an interrupt
its uptime seems pretty poor
and you want to proc talent 2 as much as possible
Oh
Would be funny if giving tang's wep to flourite makes flourite the best yvone team

Rossi composition thoughts thusfar:
Rossi is a bridge between arts inflictors are vulnerability consumers. She has particular synergy with gilberta because Gilberta applies both of the requiremebnts for her combo skill. This synergy is somewhat held back by the need for a teammate which can enable gilberta's combo skill for free. Such teammates would include, Wulfguard, Perlica, Ardelia. She also (theoretically) requires a consumer of vulnerability stacks to justify her conversion/application. Because the team damage composition is mostly split, I postulate that crush would be favored over breach in this case. It is of note that Rossi's ultimate is arts damage and should align with Gilberta's ultimate (at full vuln stacks) to maximize the burst window, afterward the vulnerability stacks can be cleared and the rotation started anew.
As for teams not involving Gilberta, there is some level of greater flexibility as forced arts reactions are not required. In this case, operators that efficiently apply arts inflictions such as Wulfguard would be desired. An operator to consume the vulnerability stacks (likely crush preferred) will also be required. In this configuration there is one possible flex slot that should probably be reserved for amplification/vulnerability of some kind.
A lot of her usage will depend on the damage output of clawmark relative to her ultimate... and until we get a character that has some other use for vulnerability stacks, she will align better with multiple damage sources on a team.
So Endmin Gilberta and Wulfgard/perlica
its very likely that rossi is a unit ran just because you want to, not because it optimises or improves an existing team
That was my thought.
rossi hypercarry dreams found dead behind 7/11
most of the hoops you jump through to make her kit work tend to look a lot more inefficient than existing options or in the rare cases they are more efficient, the trade off is usually relevant personal/team damage/buffs
Hm I forgot how perlica cs triggers
I wouldn't even look at her in terms of existing teams. There will be teams that can only exist because of her. She has a unique function.
Final strike just one
Does the enemy have to have no arts infliction
when i say existing teams that's comparing say crush payoff dps rossi to crush physical teams, since they are somewhat directly comparable
Nope
Her ult is easy to fill because that's all you really need.
Very insightful thanks for sharing
the general philosophy kind of has to be that 'i want to run rossi, so im going to try make the best team i can that uses rossi' as opposed to 'im going to use rossi to make a team that is equal to or better than [alternative]'
which is fine
Yeah you pull rossi and u make the best team u can
it kinda sucks that my goat is suboptimal but again that's just how it goes in gacha games
as ive said numerous times i do like rossi kit and i think we should have more kits like hers, as opposed to powercreep or same-ish sorts of kits
A big thing to remember; her Combo skill scales off of how many Afflictions she consumes while dealing Phys damage.
Another thing is that a misconception I'm seeing going around (At least on YT) is that you have to time her SEQ2 combo skill perfectly to get the 2nd hit; which isn't true. The perfect timing is just for the additional Vuln stack which you can skip if you dont need the 2nd stack from her combo skill
its just that when trying to tc and minmax there's not a ton going for her relative to existing teams doing the same sort of stuff
true and real, not every limited units has to powercreep existing ones, unlike some other gacha next door
Ult Energy required for her ult + motion values will determine wether she'll better fit Phys or Heat 
Rossi doesn’t seem to improve standard phys kit support wise due to the support units she wants to work with taking up space of really synergistic units
Rossi might gap shatter possibly but that’s because shatter is sad as a comp in terms out output
we have a decent guess at her ult cost
Well... one of those we can kind of poke at right now. The other one we need hard numbers to determine.
since they show us how much combos and skills generate
both need numbers
really
That's why I said poke at.
there's like a ton of rossi hypothetical teams already
some look worse than others
rossi might actually be the new potential woman and dethrone yvonne

yvonnes not even potential woman after tangtang releases tbh
she's still a little bit potential woman
Ember 🤝 Rossi
Heat/ Phys and Phys/ Heat
In theory she beats shatter phys entirely given that her+wolfguard essentially fulfils the role of Estella + Alesh + Chen (LOTS of asymmetries aside)

So our current roster for Guards include Estella, Lifeng, Chen, and the everloved Endmin.
Endmin's ult is 80 energy
Lifeng's is 90
Chen's is 70
Estella's is 70.
.....
I feel like Rossi's ult will likely be on the higher end of the spectrum; being 90-100 energy considering it's where a good chunk of her damage will come from.
So we have split scaling DPS where is our split scaling support 
Suzuran
Phys and arts sus
ard
uhhh ardelia?

Ardelia
Oh wait YEAH
rossi has additional energy gain stuff so it's higher than the others

Rossi Meta Truther 🤣
Where does she have additional energy gained?
wait what
Now make one that works with Rossi
I will be farming standard character signature weapon essence . I believe last rite's sig is her bis and worth getting right? Other than that is there any standard weapon that worth getting?
ard again
her extra hits are additional energy
Who’s crossing out Shuo it’s real

lmao
Her talent 2? Thats just damage and healing.
Seg2 of battle skill increases Rossi’s energy gauge
you can go watch the video
As a seperate chunk of energy than seg1
its extra energy for not extra sp
In a few patches trust
so that's more energy than average battle/combo skill?
shouldnt be, per precedent
could always be wrong but that would make her
alone in it
really good
i wouldnt say that
wait which extra hits are we talking about? battle or combo? both?
better for sure
both have extra energy on the conditionals iirc
So let me cope with this as part of her potential woman portfolio ok lmao
count me in
the fact that the enemy alr has to have vuln to trigger bs sq2 kinda pisses me off
We already have several hybrid physical/arts chcaracters... It's not exactly a crazy thought that we'll get more.
Just gotta use your crusher to crush for the vuln I guess
the gilberta in the room:
ion have gilb and ion care
I have Gilb and will be pitying for Rossi
Selling the solution to a problem that doens't exist yet.

SEQ1 has minimal energy gen on her battle skill; SEQ2 makes it look more like everyone else.
Combo is the same deal. Minimal ult energy on SEQ1 and normal amount after SEQ2 hits
the seq1 should be the normal 6.5 per 100 sp
so it's actually average like every other operator skills?
the seq 2's should be additional energy for meeting the conditions
Does Ultimate Energy really matter
akin to laev, last rite, yvonne, etc.
Source on these energy numbers?
visual cue from the showcase
...i think?
We don't know the ult gain though.
LOL
video shows the energy gained
we know how much default skills or combo skills give > can make educated guesses for the min and max
yeah we all feelcrafting here
If thats 6.5 then her ult is like 120
Theorycrafting at its finest
which sounds about right yes
Visually confirmation from the video yeah
basically we're just bored
https://game8.co/games/Arknights-Endfield/archives/574943 This site has small clips for each part of her kit if you dont want to go through the entire dev log
We know the weapon stats from data la mine
No ER on it so
Unless the devs do a fucky wucky and add er gear it should be fine
even if you assume er gear
it just makes the hypothetical max roughly double
(which would make the units very bad, fwiw)
250 cost rossi ult 
we are still pulling 🗣️

You never know what they have them equipped with in the showcase. It doesn't necessarily reflect their actual set.
game too ez anyway might as well make it a challenge
Could be naked
most likely it's either hot works or naked tbh
did they show rossi main/secondary stat?
again even if we assume max uge (209%) it just roughly doubles the ultimate cost
They did not but considering her design it's likely either Agi/Str or Agi/Int
pretty sure her sig is agi/cr/frac

I also kinda hope the new MI Security gear comes with a line of Crit Damage instead of Crit rate or some other form of DMG%
more dopamine for crits please
what about the BP sword
I personally dont know. I havent seen any leaks on it
just in case i didn't get her sig
more crit rate 100% cr
.leaks
imagine if Rossi's talent 2 could crit-
.leak2
.leak
Get to 100% CR. Dont care about other stats, and just watch the crits pile up on eachother 
I believe someone told me tangtang comes after Rossi
free stacks would be huge
And now I read its other way around
It is tang tang first
tangtang first
Tang tang first
It's literally on the banner images
damn
tang tang is after Yvonne's banner, then half way through 1.1 we get rossi
you can confirm by checking their weapon arsenal release dates
march 29th is rossi's
I haven’t seen a roadmap yet
Ok ty
I mean leakers also said Rossi was a nature striker 
it doesn't help that they wrote down "before/after version update" instead of an actual date like a normal person
There's no roadmap so you have to piece the info by yourself from the video
Tbf it was discredited before the vid released
There was also a real leak before the vid that called Cyro striker Tangtang and ember hybrid Rossi
those aint leakers, just some guy spouting nonsense, zero source
Fair enough
Same fanfiction writers were saying we are getting sussuro and suzuran expy
people are so obsessed with leaks some took advantage of it and made some profit

And the profit is being known as a liar

I'm surprised there's still leaks considering HG's stance on them
I mean there was one saying Tangtang is cryo caster and Rossi is heat/phys so

Guessing luck?
Part of human nature to fight the fomo kek
Thorned Yazhen/Fluffed Jinciao are actually the best ROI on healing items right?
Just grab some and grind down to powders to snort and that’s it?
It isn’t that hard to say Rossi is phys heat
Like if we still had Gilberta banner now I would be very tempted honestly
It’s literally shown in the valley 4 story
Heat? No. Phys? Ehh
To whoever asked about floofy jincao, yes
Tbf I thought she was pure heat
But idt it's worth it
can't wait to run some bullshit like rossi/wulf/endmin/ard
Just use jincao drink and dodge more 
prob with more operators available it would be more feasible to spec rossi into a phys team or a heat team, but with our current available units she's kinda just a homeless bum
I mean you run into them daily while running around Wuling
theres like one situation where she might be useful but its reliant on how her cs works
Rossi Arde Gilbert Pog

where crusher 💔
we've got abysmal dogshit 🔥
I didn't set up an automated factory production line to go and MANUALLY pick up herbs smh my head
I’ve had a 100 stack of Fluffed Jincao powder since the start of Wuling and I haven’t even used them up fully
some of the more promising looking rossi teams just ignore consuming the vuln
and just using it to buff gilb ult
let it sit at 4 stacks
shuo ion have gilb 💔
Really speculative though
Yes because no content actually needs such potent healing
im not posting it again
Idk if her ult is even pure heat, they hid the damage numbers
You underestimated my lack of hands
this is what we call a cope moment
yeah yeah I got it lmao I’m not poking at you
it's ok being optimal is not necessary in this game
rossi
The only hard content (relative) is umbral monument agony mode (which you can't use healing) or re-crisis (which doesn't hit that hard unless you get chain slapped by marble mommy) 
so i can rossi hypercarry as much as i want
its funny that rossi teams can proc perlica's talent too
(unless you get chain slapped by marble mommy)
Yeah that’s the issue right there
My hands are shite
more of a gilb thing in general for proc'ing it but gilbless rossi teams can do it
i unironically have thoughts on rossi gibby pog da pan/endmin but its reliant on some niche cs conditional bullshit that we dont know yet
biggest issue would be sp so maybe da pan instead of endmin would be favorable
then again if my assumption isn't true it all falls apart and she's just a homeless bum again, unless her ult numbers are so nutty she just one shots shit
Skill issue af
minor dps gain for the double electric stuff
Mono phys and just beat it up like it's a stagger check
if it makes u happier u can assume some random arbitrary mv ratio for heat vs phys and see what it sheets out ig

:scp939:
worst case scenario you run her in the shatter wheelchair comp
Oh no, the ult itself is pure heat im sure
Im just not sure what the damage share of ultimate vs talent 2 is
pretend she's helping
No imo she replaces the shatter team entirely
So Tangtang replaces the Perlica slot in cryo teams right?
Yvonne/LR, Xaihi, Tangtang, Gilb?
i was referring to total mv per rotation
For just wukfguard and Rossi, you can basically do the job of Estella Alesh Chen (with caviats)
didn't the livestream (cba to call it a video) say it was a "flurry of slashes that deal damage" (ambiguous) "and a final strike that deals heat dmg"
Tbf I was not expecting tangtang to literally be called daughter of the river and be like a water cat or something 
the elephant:
So cryo really is unexpected
do not address him
then again if they can justify the final slash being heat dmg whos to say the flurry also can't be heat
elephant operator when
but it’s trueeeee
idt we have an elephant race in OG AK so unlikely
the joke is that the caveats are so numerous that unless rossi is somehow outdps'ing 2 units
its 
rossi ult has a 2000% multiplier
trust
it's ok guys rossi's numbers wil be huge
I run shatter phys
and like okay
The bar to do that is NOT high
Pog probably comes to mind first as a thermite holder tbf
how are you stacking vuln during wulfgard downtime
rossi bs 💔
trust rossi bs dot will be crazy...
People forgetting clawmark inceases physical and heat damage taken.
Kinda just… don’t really, pog wouldn’t even be breaching which is wacky
which is where we end up at
of her doing the same job, but just kinda worse
Let me reverse the question, how does shatter phys stack vuln outside of the shatter Estella combos?

Chen to provide the remaining two and to go on cooldown right
shatter phys vuln is fully carried by estella having 200% ult eff and a 70 63cost ult
chen bs, chen combo
estella ult, combo
Yep that’s 4 every 18~ seconds or so, standard
both
her element is physical though
both, but likely mid at both

potentially a good vuln applier or maybe heat debuffer? but her kit is kinda contradictory with our current roster of operators
excluding them giving her overtuned values she is not going to be better then existing setups because of what you have to drop from the team to add her
so the question is basically what's the least bad rossi setup
i mean current physical is pretty loaded
kinda just lack of synergies, pretty important when youre mixing shit together into a kit
one way you could avoid this issue is just jacking her numbers up to high hell
U think I should pull Yvonne for tangtang or is last rite good enuff
most of her damage will be heat but she puts vulnerability for her physical teammates
current guess is that for something like umbral monument she can replace arclight
Lowk frying me that tang tang is a cryo gilberta
on electric
wait is the assumption not just rossi wulf gil +1 rn
why wulf and gil?
it might be a better link target than perlica ult
No avywenna?
gets dropped in umbral monument situationally

avy is still better outside of umbral, and in some umbral stages
the aforementioned team would work outside of umbral too
but that's getting more back to 'play what you want the game is easy' territory
chen
wtf
makes it worse but that's a trend
gil for cskill + stacks
wulf cus im assuming rossi isnt selfish dmg rn

fair, thats possible
there's maybe some angles where rossi stacks better than chen in shatter but average over time chen should win
we're deep in the hole here
3 people i know have just given up on rossi
tc wise
Rossi's ultimate also applies heat infliction, making her somewhat positive.
this unit is so fucking funny
rossi's stupid fucking ult when it consumes the arts infliction she needs to use cs
we have reached bedrock 🥀

you can actually kind of make a real timeline with rossi yvonne gilb endmin
what a fucking joke
solidify
being just as weird as rossi
I cant wait for this unit to come out man
dfq Yvonne doing there
I thought Yvonne was bad lol
she's fine
yvonne is very playable
and she actually works
the yvonne tangtang stuff is kinda neat
unlike cbt yvonne
Icic
So for 200~ SP
Alesh to solidify and Chen to do 1 for the team gets you to 4 stacks every 18 seconds. Reality of the team is slightly different depending on the boss you are fighting and how much SP you can mooch off final striking and how much crippling UGI debt is on Alesh
A theoretical Wulf Endmin Rossi core does
Wulf BS +CS + Ult + CS
Rossi/Endmin BS
Rossi BS + CS + Ult
But every cycle after has the leftover heat infliction from Rossi ult to work with (her combo skill will come back faster than infliction will fall off)
Leading to
Rossi/Endmin BS
Rossi Bs + CS
To be 4 vuln
It may look cope but it’s similar in structure to how phys shatter gets its vulns
i dont rly find there to be large gaps between teams with loopable rotations yet
yvonne tangtang stuff?
tbh
you should try rossi gibby pog endmin trust
cbt yvonne was a fucking horror
like you'd think tangtang causes the same issues that lr does thanks to sp refund
but because you get more inflictions
it solves itself
ultibot tang2
So does this mean she isn't ass
you know what
And I get to play wulfgard
she does
If you ask me
mifu heat support trust
her gauntlets had fire
She is comparable to the most ass competent team we have lmao
So idk man
i mean yeah the main cope is that
Im almost certain that's going to be the case
rossi numbers are giga overtuned
I would much rather her be good though
Brah 😞
if they are then you just kinda force it
weirdo teams are good, actually
tbf yvonne was dead on arrival
maybe the 1.1 patch chars have synergies surely
We're all just gonna get tang tang I guess
the kit is fun
1.1 characters needing futurecrafting is normal
goofy
based on what they r doin with the kits
clearly in 1.2 we are getting a character then synergizes perfectly with rossi
in cbt or global release
with rossi
Hmm that low huh but i rarelt use endmin ult ngl lol
Everyone making quantitative assessments of Rossi's power at this point is having a fever dream. Best you can do is try to TC teams.
mifu will be elec+phys hybrid
on god
bruh dats too early to make an alter
Yah tbf we dont have numbers so maybe her dmg will compensate for weird util
never say never type shii

youre funny
the timeline doesnt look that bad
Hell no
just release rossi alter atp, self-synergy tech
i don't think that's real
Fck no
but it also does
hypercarry rossi please save endfield
sparkle and sparxie
is this some hsr shit i dont know about
accurate
sloprail mentioned
4 rossi team
p2 gilb unbricks every arts dps
i recognize the name sparkle because of fortnite, unironically
anyway, we only get cuprium n its waste on aic part isnt
whats her p2
double bonus on ult per vuln stack, counts as 1 additional vuln stack
what's theory crafting?
so just
crafting theories
its when u r a nerd and u yap
TRUEEE
Yappin' mostly
3 vuln makes her ult 54% susceptibility
p2 gib and rossi is good to go ez
cuz I don't understand what's mostly being said here that relates to theory crafting
surely p5r5 will save rossi
you guys mean building chars?
just p5p5 rossi and gib
its like when you dont know something for sure so you do math or timeline it or educated guess speculate to try and figure it out
usually for new shit
no thats #team-build
so yall are still torn about rossi
alr missed gilb but i plan on p5p5 rossi
How about you contribe? Please contribute.
rossi wulf stacks up 4 heat > you make 4 corrosion
rossi gilb stacks up 3/4 vuln > you get 24% susc
I was just in there asking for team comps and shi
and then the buffs are just so big you can make any arts dps work
theory crafting is for test teams and builds that then are given to the world as these are the good teams and builds
rossi + wulf personal damage + any flex you want
being torn is for cowards, real gamers achieve zen and wait for three weeks 🧘♂️
4 weeks actually
i'm just glad i got my p5/p5 LR waiting for TangTang to come home
theorycrafting is the testing and well theorizing side of any game
nah this is determining wot current/new units contribute to the meta in a qualitative/quantitative manner
fuck i forgot how early we are into yvonne's stupid banner
can she piss off already
type shii
i mean yeah
shouldnt we have her numbers from datamine when the patch actually arrives on the 12th?
rossi gilb wulf ardelia
idk how this server handles datamines so idk
i swear to god if you say you can make anyone a dps but the question is are they good
can chunk a decent amount off ardelia
we only have 9 days on yvonne banner
Probably
also datamines lowkey kinda dedge no?
ardelia helps keep the corrosion up
or is it just public leak announcements
so its better tha nit looks
will this cook
who would you replace gilb with unironically bc ion have gilb
(say i'm fucked)
ive got it, i finally have info on how long the reception room takes to generate clues
visual numbers recorded from the game
220% (3 random ops) 11hours 6mins 39s (39,999 seconds)
353% (ardelia+estella+akekuri) 6hrs 56mins 39s (24,999 seconds)
observation: there appears to be a roughly 2 second delay from when the timer hits 00:00 to when the timer starts up again to collect a new clue
after doing math using these 2 data points
the base rate for clues was calculated to be either 87996.48 or 87997.8 seconds for 1 clue which is off, they should yield the same number
considering the 2 second delay and possible integer round offs
a new calculation was made with the assumption of 40,000 seconds and 25,000 seconds instead
both yielded to a base rate of 88,000 seconds to collect 1 clue
conclusion
at 100%, generating 1 clue takes 88,000 seconds exactly
the visuals seem to round down or are off by 1 second
there is a 1 second delay between collecting clues (2 seconds by visuals)
~let me know if u find something off with the calculation
Spoiler tag all of it, never ask or tell where to or how to datamine, only stuff that’s on the publicly available client ok to talk about
Otherwise all good
gib applies vuln somehow right?
wtf cluetc
holy shit 
w8, corro maxing?
tbh I suck at math
vuln on ult hooray
you can maybe do like
rossi antal perlica ardelia for rossi hyper if her ult number is good enough
or you just put her in the wheelchair and look at the pretty animations
da heck
so you basically just want
ult off cooldown
holdup
it uses rossi
gib and ardelia
interesting, much more lenient than ako then 
these comps are reliant on rossi ult being like
tbf i'm sure p5p5 will fix her somehow
@bronze plume
oh yeah i mean
i'm not sure how but it'll definitely fix her somehow
wtf would wolf be running there
wait since youre into nerd testing shit like this, have you tried your hand at figuring out exactly how many valley stock bills you need to sell to someone through elastic goods to get 60/60 credits? my limited testing tells me you need at least 141,000 and at most 143,000
is he still a ult bot merchant
p5p5 could be dog rn if shes actually meant to synergize with 1.2+
wulf is there for heat app
depends on the new gear
He honestly doesn’t have to be in theory
oh hell no
what the fuck
wait
but you want his ult to line up with Rossi if possible for burn
that could work
its
dps wulf is crit gambling
better than it sounds
therefore bad
wulf ult -> rossi ult -> wulf bs to consume combustion once that finishes or some shit
wulf dps finally viable??
kind of yes kind of no
"to sell someone through elastic goods to get 60/60 credits"? im not sure what ur referring to
all wulf needed was his little sister to carry his ass
he has to gamble for an at best 30% cr big multiplier hit
Psychotic behaviour fr fr
elaborate
surely new sets save this
SURELY
can we rewind time so i can pull for gilb 
wulf dps is tied to enhanced skill which is kinda a mid ass multiplier so you want to crit it to compensate
but you dont technically have to
Imagine if Rossi signature gives party wide crit chance on crit lmfao
on crit gives entire team more crit type shit
yvonne rossi goes brr fr
rossi gives the team +100 cd +50 cr
like 4 stack corrosion, 4 stack vuln
gilb ult > rossi ult > wulf enhanced skill
add on the 4th units dps
it kinds slaps
yvonne overcaps instantly
in your case its like
Just looking at skill efficiency, Rossi is MUCH higher than the average unit. The only struggles are composition and damage type distribution.
ardelia ult
Wouldnt really make sense tbh
If anything it'd give Heat DMG% buff when she crits
and you also have ardelia buff/debuff
idk why i can't see the button rn but its usually up here, when people sell goods to you, you earn credits (likely at an exponential ratio) relative to how much stock they earn from selling to you
Check footage to see if Rossi gives any buffs to the team
actually; it's fracture. What other Fracture weapons do we have?
u mean the ulti cancel to get 2 cs?
artzy
just that
fracture is crit stuff
fracture means its conditional is on crit
wait theres a fracture weapon that isnt artzy
From arcane knowledge, her weapon type is ||fracture: a critical set||
I'm just talking about SP per battle effect.
the onyl values i know right now are ~10k for 10 credits, ~40k for 20 credits, and 141k-143k for 60 credits
So yeah. Crit from something gives Heat DMG% 
I honestly made the guess without knowing that lol
Is what it is
it's a sad day to be a gilbless rossi fan
i'm just excited for TangTang to take over for Wulf in Sky King Flats construction site
Thats sucks. Parties w/ P2 Gil
there's a solid chance p5p5 just raw whale gaps the need to have gilb
probably tbh lmao
500 dollars to remove the need for gilb 🔥
oh is it this one?
sorry i dont have any numbers on that, everytime i check it, it's either full 60/60 with a bunch of people or no one at all
and i dont test player-to-player interactions using an alt account so i dont have any data points either
P5p5 makes content pretty explode
its funny because if yvonne and gilb banners were flipped then you could have offrated gilb while pulling rossi
every hit turns into a crit hit for 5s after a crit 
How much does p5p5 even have over p0p0
max essence already makes content explode rn
if only
we dont now potentials info and weapon info isnt out
Yo is 28590oro good enough if im gonna pull for rossi or fangyi?
You would have seen Rossi kit before gilb banner went away
Fomo is cruel

For existing units how much is is worth then?
yup that, i just know its between 141k and 143k, idk the exact number
p5p5 is what? Like 40% over baseline?
differs per unit
nah, the banner clearly mean to bait players whale hard on yvonne
It doesn’t feel like potentials and weapon dupes do much at all
For most they really dont
the number forgeborn
less in comparison to other games but it's very significant and anyone who tells you otherwise is just lying to you
how much origeometry do you have? do you plan on buying monthly or t3 pass? how many AIC quotas do you have? what's your current 6* pity counter at?
fuck i can;t spekk today
i can tell you your chances if you can answer those questions but thats about it
welp, time for me to save that number for future reference XD
whatever you know what i meant
My only line of comparison is other games when you realise these things can cost thousands of dollars
can't wait for 2.0 to drop and powercreep every existing unit
feel free to ping me if you have any updates from testing 
Ok on the other hand
Looks like we aren’t getting hit with immediate powercreep
Tang2 and Rossi feel like sidegrades or completely different teams and don’t outright replace operators 1:1
I lowkey didn't pull for yvonne since i dont have a team for her, i have 36 origom and no aic qouta i spent it all when i was pulling for laevatain
cough cough sloprail cough cough
Wait for rossi, gib, wulf, ard what tf we doing about sp
how many operators do you own then? we'll get an AIC quota boost from that
you think it doesnt cost four digits in this game?
also lmk if youre buying monthly/t3 pass
? Wasn’t my sentence saying exactly that it costs thousands of dollars
What
Wulfgard ult prestacked makes it pretty cheap
Not prestacked wulf ult bricks the team
Since its a 1rot nuke thing
will let u know if i find something out, maybe if i can get a friend to test it with me when wee're both free, but i typically dont prioritize mechanics that rely on other players to do something since it isnt guaranteed
but shuo the real shit is that like
Idk man my sentence is pretty straight forward
so basically trim-only comp
I guess there's a chance than it is Pog that ends up being the vulnerability consumer depending on her battle skill numbers... not arts intensity pog, though. Maybe one of the new sets.
🔥
whale gap aside gilb is very useful bc she applies vuln on ult and cs lmao
Oh... so you have to already hace his ult
wtf do you do for vuln without gilb
All Total or just 6 star? If 6 star only i have lae, prograr, gilberta, ardelia, last rite and lifeng
i mean thats fair, i'm just doing it so i can skimp out on like 2-3k valley stock per day while minmaxxing credits which is hella bum 
ok so my only conclusion is that rossi is made for double carry lineups
If you're doing arts based rossi, why do you care about vuln if not for gilb
don't say rossi bs i might crash out
all total, and i really need to know if you plan on buying monthly/t3 pass
bruh, someone thought that invisible rodhagn is intended phase
rossi bs conditional
But yea if let’s say we compare using Laev
How much does p5p5 have over p0p0?
💔
I dont lol it wont let me
Its arts based rossi you're not too fussed about her physical damage stuff
i'm pretty sure that was /s
damn, how many total ops then
rossi maindps or something?
Ult nuke stuff
i hope rossi is a main dps
Lemme check
it's looking pretty bleak
hg make rossi a competent hypercarry and my life is yours
well so far yvonne was released without proper support but still works when built properly and you know what you are doing
i'm thinking Rossi is gonna be the same
Everything works
we will probably have to wait it out for her other pieces
Game is easy
can't wait for rossi dedicated support
works properly is an interesting descriptor to use
21 total
she like only kinda works sometimes
alr one second
like a ran through charger that you have to hold a certain way
Idk if rossi can work as a main dps/hyper carry cus she needs someone to consume the vuln stacks she generates
just pogra
you mean in a perfect evironment that you can set up pretty much 90-100% of the time
like every other giga dmg video out there
can't wait for a hypercarry that doesn't rely on ult to do damage
we're not 100% when fangyi is coming, do you plan on pulling for both or just one or the other?
catcher 6*
I am a bit sick of every single limited unit having so much of their kits power gated to ult
Riiight?
Hoping 1.2+ gives variety in that aspect
If her battle skill damage is very high relative to her ultimate damage, then yes, you will use Pog for the boost and sp return. I don't think that is a super likely outcome, but it is a possible one.
laevatain BS nuke
I messed up my oro lol its 29095. And if fangy will take a whilw to release then ill js get rossi
btw, do we have any news bout bird enemies on umbral 3? is it same as beta one?
we have so many new gear pieces to work with as well that those alone might end up enabling some characters more into a main dps realm
fangyi is likely 1.2 or 1.3
tang squared 😭
still an ult gated unit
Her ult is her main source of inflictions and suscept for free, utility to help yvonne and lr combo, qol for like xaihi, etc
everyone is an ult merchant
Decent chunk of her damage it looks like too
bs does more damage in ult and ult normals are also a huge chunk of damage
play LR cs spam
alr your chances on just rossi are over 50% if that makes you feel good lmao
roughly 70%-ish but no guarantees, it will be higher if you plan on farming all of the one-time expansion resources
do you think
rossi, gib, ardelia, pog/ake
could work?
with TangTang coming its a real possibility
oh it looks more like stacking combo skills into battle skill
Tbh thats good enough
maybe i just can't see
Why run pog
is ake just there as a link bot
@dawn smelt i think if you 100% the new content before rossi actually, you'll get enough pulls to gaurantee her
idk i just want a vanguard
LR CS really does bonkers dmg
Run ake then
me like sp
Can someone explain why the expected number of rolls for a rate up is 81 when I clearly spent 120 
rossi/wulf/ake/ard am i cooking
because averages
how are you getting vuln
or are you just not
the 81 figure is over a long-term average
nvm that's just laev team but with rossi put in, pack it up
some earlies, some hardpities
That's one team I'm considering for Rossi. it might work, but idk.
Tldr expected value isnt 80
I'm half joking about the 120 part but I'm not sure how the 50/50 plays into the 81 number
Ive been lowkey saving up for the past week i finished all mission and chest only thing left is aurelyn
i'm assuming you play for ult dmg with hypercarry rossi in which case vuln just doesn't matter
or wait no
Yvonne Tangtang Xaihi Gilb looks like the new team but then do you sacrifice Stanza if no Perlica
or do you put it on Gilb sacrificing her sig
you still need to apply clawmark
It sucks that we prob wont get any numbers until the patch releases
yea if you are a grinder then you'll be 100% fine, dont worry

put rossi in a double carry team. problem solved
having to play around just not using a part of a characters kit in a team
Bet. Thanks
just feels so ass
That's probably only team I can think of that can work (Ake over Pog).
Like it's hard ti justify running Rossi as part of any other team except the one that she is main dps
^
hard pitied laeva, still have this much +10 chartered
there are more than enough resources rn
Watch Rossi having classic
350%
300%
1100%

Honestly that would be good if talent 2 was 100% on crit
