#

cause u can create a perfect scenario at bro

#

now compare them in all other combat scenarios

#

lr will cook yvonne

daring dove
#

Any comparsion that allows you to pre-cast skills before you attack the boss is irrelevant to me.

#

Timer starts when you start casting skills not when you hit the enemy.

tight haven
#

at low pot

#

like p1-2 iirc

#

again

#

playing PERFECTLY

midnight stirrup
#

both umbral 2?

tight haven
#

all three

midnight stirrup
#

theres three?

tight haven
#

i havent seen low pot lr clears as fast as yvonne low pot clears

midnight stirrup
#

are we referring to stage 2 in both sections

#

or

#

umbral 2 all 3 stages

tight haven
#

its like 20s for 2-1

#

40s for 2-2 and 2-3

drifting quest
#

as much as the yvonne slander was funny

#

she's kinda owning lr in most metrics right now

tight haven
#

is she though

midnight stirrup
#

propaganda

drifting quest
#

yeah

tight haven
#

i have literally only seen low pot yvonne clearing low pot lr

drifting quest
#

faster in basically every stage at equal investments

#

if you compare cost

#

yvonne tends to have more issues

#

since she's higher cost gated thanks to gilb

tight haven
#

i havent seen any p5p5 comparisons

thorn shore
#

the fact were even struggling this hard to possibly call a limited better than a standard is pretty bad for the limited anyway

tight haven
#

to be entirely fair to lr yes yvonne does just

#

stop existing

#

without gilb

viscid crow
#

yvonne's best weapon is her own one right

tight haven
#

yes

midnight stirrup
#

lr also has a lot more team flexibility

#

than yvonne

tight haven
#

she does

edgy crater
#

technically ange her best weap kek

midnight stirrup
#

can use ardelia gilb akekuri

tight haven
#

tbf that doesnt REALLY matter

edgy crater
#

shuo, dat comparison with ange or not?

daring dove
midnight stirrup
drifting quest
#

yvonne is not a unit (within the scope of this comparison) without gilb

tight haven
#

well for this conversation

#

we're assuming absolute optimal invest and play

midnight stirrup
#

lr performs equal/better/worse in a small margin apparently

edgy crater
#

ok make sense lmao

midnight stirrup
#

without needing gilb

#

yvonne needs gilb

tight haven
#

it is not even a comparison if we're talking about like

midnight stirrup
#

ardelia was free

#

akekuri was free

tight haven
#

ease-of-use or practicality

#

yvonne is HILARIOUSLY impractical

#

by every metric

midnight stirrup
#

even if u compare speedruns

drifting quest
#

i mean lr can be pretty clunky as well

midnight stirrup
#

umbral might favor yvonne rn

#

wait till next umbral

#

see whos on top

daring dove
#

Obviously LR's team is more F2P friendly but that's not really the argument.

drifting quest
#

once we get out of optimal timelining and introduce skill issue

tight haven
midnight stirrup
#

LR is gonna have more use cases than yvonne watch

tight haven
#

needing another lim to function, be it tangtang or gilb is an awful look

thorn shore
#

it was hilarious

tight haven
#

no

#

yvonne works fine with just gilb

#

tangtang being un upscale is likely but unconfirmed

drifting quest
#

the tc one of the other group chats were doing

#

had tangtang assumed better than she is

#

so it kinda ruins everything that was going on

#

there's a valid discussion now about tangtang not even being added

tight haven
#

yea

drifting quest
#

lmao

midnight stirrup
#

we should prob wait for tantang regardless to release to decide

#

cause

tight haven
#

tangtang being optimal is not a sure thing

drifting quest
#

yeah i mean

#

its all vibes

tight haven
#

we shouldnt take it as a given

drifting quest
#

we only have some numbers

midnight stirrup
#

the trend of unreleased char getting doomposted then suddenly being good is seeping into akef too

drifting quest
#

cooldowns uptimes/lengths and ult costs

midnight stirrup
#

wdym yvonne was trash and now shes suddenly top contender

tight haven
#

shes not

#

im gonna keep being mean about her

drifting quest
#

its just tangtang went from yeah this unit is kinda cracked to oh this unit might not be as good as assumed and just be a flex pick

tight haven
#

she just controls like shit dude

#

and even then she beats out lr times by like

midnight stirrup
#

i mean u said earlier she beats lr

tight haven
#

matters of seconds

#

she does

midnight stirrup
#

lr is basically the best char in the game prior to that

#

cause laev sucks ass

tight haven
#

but like its not a CRAZY upscale

drifting quest
#

beating lr doesnt make her a top contender

#

because that implies lr is a top contender

tight haven
#

like we excuse laev being objectively shit for clear times because shes undeniably the best dps in the game bar none

daring dove
tight haven
#

with extreme ease-of-use, survivability and dumb scaling

midnight stirrup
#

this chat has been calling her trash constantly

daring dove
midnight stirrup
#

lets not sugarcoat it now

#

lmao

edgy crater
#

she shit when ange doesnt exist

tight haven
#

im really not backing down from it personally every time i use yvonne i just get frustrated

drifting quest
#

yvonne was bad because she was missing a proper timeline for a proper team, gilb comps were not the norm, she didnt have artzy, etc

edgy crater
#

basically if compaaring 1 to 1

drifting quest
#

it has been several tiers of new discoveries and improvements, more tc, etc for yvonne to get her glow up

outer ermine
drifting quest
#

and she still isnt even all that

edgy crater
#

ok shuo, at 1 to 1, lr or yvonne being better

blissful pine

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mOgJmf8nDiI then theres krakens like this guy that whaled so hard that he uses yvonne as a nuke

This is a twisted version of the Yvonne + Lara ceiling.

#

ik but yvonne is doing the nuke

drifting quest
#

unless they just start giga shilling

edgy crater
thorn shore
#

phys might be insane with rossi now no?

tight haven
#

everything works rn so any conversation about "the best" cannot end with the conclusion that certain ops are "unusable"

drifting quest
#

rossi kit is

tight haven
#

thats my only take here

drifting quest
#

not great, if we're minmax tc'ing

edgy crater
#

cause if its solo time/kit wise, lr win for sure

midnight stirrup
tight haven
#

i still think yvonne sucks because she demands so much from you to work

thorn shore
#

oh wow so is rossi not going anywhere other than rossi team

midnight stirrup
#

i mean id wait till she releases

drifting quest
#

most of the rossi teams are built around her as a dps yes

edgy crater
#

nah enion, needing ange already downgrade

midnight stirrup
#

opinions tend to differ prerelease to release

chilly bolt
#

Rossi is having Yvonne situation again

drifting quest
#

rossi phys support
rossi phys carry
rossi arts support
rossi arts carry
rossi arts hypercarry
rossi arts triple dps
rossi shatter wheelchair

#

current list

tight haven
#

yes imo needing gilb is a warning sign

midnight stirrup
#

we dont have full info either anyway

#

on either char

thorn shore
#

please tangtang and rossi be useless so i can save for mi fu and zhuang

#

incredible

midnight stirrup
#

i deleted the game

#

1.1 didnt satisfy me PerliSmile

edgy crater
edgy crater
#

which is obvious yvonne win lol

hollow raptor
midnight stirrup
#

but it feels very filler with how much they added

hollow raptor
#

current cope i see online is that it was recorded 2 weeks into launch or something

outer ermine
#

🤝 hand the acc over for testing shit

midnight stirrup
#

ill think about it

daring dove
drifting quest
midnight stirrup
hollow raptor
#

for me 1.1 was also disappointing, though not enough to drop the game just yet

drifting quest
#

for what was added in 1.1 its a pretty fast turnaround

midnight stirrup
#

im not gonna stick around tho to wait on that tho

#

ill be back when its actually here

drifting quest
#

but there's no reason not to take a break

#

if you dont like it

#

yeah

midnight stirrup
#

doing dailies for 2m everyday in a release window sucks ass and feels like a chore

drifting quest
#

its a game so once it becomes a chore for you its time to tap out

midnight stirrup
#

not like i need to save for anything rn anyway

#

yeah

hollow raptor
#

i've stopped doing everything except transfering depot jobs (takes 1 min), the outpost stuff (takes 1 min) and then burning stamina

midnight stirrup
#

i would play still if my ps5 was at my place

#

but its at my moms now

#

and i cbb doing the daily phone shit

#

phone sucks

thorn shore
#

i do dijiang, stock distribution, burn stam, and trading items for stock bills

#

then log off

#

but now i have 2k+ stam to burn bc the stam discount thing is limited daily

#

so uh

midnight stirrup
#

ive been playing re9

#

been amazing

#

actual cinema game

thorn shore
#

i played some marathon server slam

#

its really fun with a good trio

#

idk if ill buy but its fun

midnight stirrup
#

idk that one

thorn shore
#

its another extraction shooter

#

had an open test period a few days before launch

hollow raptor
daring dove
hollow raptor
#

i'll be honest i still need to look up what genre of games that is

midnight stirrup
thorn shore
midnight stirrup
#

its not just an actual game

#

its one of the best releases over the last few years

#

expedition 33 ahh rating

drifting quest
#

i tried out overwatch again for the first time in nearly a decade and have been having fun

#

but also bl*zzard entertainment

hollow raptor
#

nothing can top e33 for me personally, especially the music

midnight stirrup
#

ow is kinda redeeming itself recently with ow

#

playerbase been reviving

midnight stirrup
hollow raptor
#

i listened to it so much its composer ended up 2nd most listened to on spotify for me and i was so confused who that was until i realized

daring dove
drifting quest
#

feels like a new game so relaunch went pretty well id say

drifting quest
#

but also last time i played it was the original overwatch

midnight stirrup
#

thats always how games worked

#

you go in for the experience

tight haven
#

yeah

midnight stirrup
#

not for replayability

tight haven
#

if i want a replayable game im playing like

#

mewgenics

#

lmao

midnight stirrup
#

ill replay any fromsoft or skyrim

#

but replayable games arent actually replayable bc when u get bored ur bored

thorn shore
#

lots of gamers nowadays not liking story games and caught up in the live service trend not willing to put 40 hours into something

hollow raptor
#

i'll take 40 hours of e33 over 1000 hours of any gacha 10 out of 10 times (99.99% of those were logging in, doing the same circus trick, logging out)

daring dove
# midnight stirrup not for replayability

I mean some games can keep your attention for 1,000's of hours. Live Service games & single player experiences are kind of the difference between a Movie & a TV series.

midnight stirrup
#

getting 2% of the story every 6 weeks

#

based

#

so good

drifting quest
#

its time for your 4th attempt at lobotomy corporation day 50

#

lock in fellas

tight haven
#

i only play Real Games with my partners cuz if any of us dont do it with each other then none of us will play it ever again so this has meant that playing e33 has been a...

#

200 hour journey

midnight stirrup
drifting quest
#

go play peak

midnight stirrup
#

Live service will never ever ever beat actual games

tight haven
#

because im a 100%er and my partners bicker over who gets to do the fights while the others watch

hollow raptor
edgy crater
drifting quest
#

spoiled everything how

tight haven
#

worth every second of it lowkey

midnight stirrup
#

are we rly comparing mediocre story being dripfed, characters you have to gamble for and some 2m combat events

#

to fucking

#

expedition 33

#

resident evil series

#

final fantasy

drifting quest
#

i didnt play lob corp until after canto 8 and I was spoiled on like

midnight stirrup
#

zelda

daring dove
drifting quest
#

barely anything

midnight stirrup
#

monster hunter

#

be fr

drifting quest
edgy crater
midnight stirrup
#

what are u on about

tight haven
#

bruh

#

LMAO

midnight stirrup
#

series have actual progression during each episode

hollow raptor
# drifting quest spoiled everything how

or rather, it's impossible to avoid lobcorp spoilers in general discussion. i know who ayin, carmen are. i know why lobcorp exists. i know what the ending is. it is what it is.

for what it's worth i'm much less spoiled on lor.

midnight stirrup
#

are we rly comparing that to gacha story updates

#

holy brainrot

tight haven
#

ok ok

#

whatever

#

i get it

#

some people just

#

REALLY

thorn shore
# midnight stirrup monster hunter

monster hunter is sort of a middle ground since were basically guaranteed a dlc that turns the game from a 70-80 to a 90-100

and mh does get consistent updates

tight haven
#

like gachas

thorn shore
#

theyre not huge updates but theyre consistent

drifting quest
midnight stirrup
drifting quest
#

ruina is just as peak

midnight stirrup
#

prob the best replayable game out there

#

personally

drifting quest
#

especially post canto 9

tight haven
#

i play em cuz i love gambling and logging in to do menial tasks to watch a number go up

midnight stirrup
#

monster hunter generations ultimate is peak

daring dove
# midnight stirrup Its not even comparable

It's 100% comparable. a TV series is a story that builds over time. Like a live service.... A single player story experience with a 40 hour level is like a movie where you get the whole story in 1 package... E_PoliwhirlConcern

hollow raptor
tight haven
#

imho, as someone w friends who got into pm thru limbus

#

and were FULLY spoiled

midnight stirrup
drifting quest
tight haven
#

lob and lor are still VERY VERY enjoyable games

hollow raptor
#

i hear all the time about people making 1 tiny mistake and restarting for the 1494th time on day 27 or 42 or whatever

tight haven
#

pm's character writing has always been incredible and there are handicap mods for both games

midnight stirrup
#

imagine comparing game of thrones to a gacha story

#

pffttt

tight haven
#

if you just want an easy time

hollow raptor
#

or s7 was it

#

the one that was treated as a dumpster fire

tight haven
#

s8

drifting quest
#

HEEEELP ME RABBIT TEAM HEEEEEEEEEEEELP
I LET QUEENIE BREACH AGAIIN HEEEEEEEEEELP

midnight stirrup
tight haven
#

ive enjoyed a lot of gacha stories but hardly any of them are what i would consider high art

#

like

daring dove
tight haven
#

only r1999 and limbus are in that bracket for me

drifting quest
#

ill shill for base ak and limbus

midnight stirrup
#

striker whales for every character to their maximum potential tho, so it makes sense he favors live service

drifting quest
#

as good story

tight haven
#

arknights, maybe like...

#

lone trail gets in there

midnight stirrup
#

he rly likes live service

tight haven
#

yeah its a preference thing

#

idfk

hollow raptor
#

hot take but arknights (base) story is extremely overrated TO MY SUBJECTIVE eyes. limbus is peak though.

#

by base i mean not enfield

midnight stirrup
hollow raptor
#

endfield is hot garbage, no contest there i think

midnight stirrup
#

its been 6 years into genshin

#

and we only now know varka

tight haven
#

some people just listen to vibecore shit all day and think radiohead is unlistenable garbage because theres no le epic electronica drop

#

its fine

midnight stirrup
#

liyue archon quest was shopping

#

so peak

#

stretched out over 18 weeks

teal pawn
#

"garbage" is an overstatement

#

it's meh at worst

midnight stirrup
#

also

hollow raptor
#

for me personally the issue with genshin's story is less the writing and more the presentation of it. feels like a low budget 2004 game.

daring dove
midnight stirrup
#

who tf said

#

ff and e33 were comparable

#

i wanted to comment but got distracted

tight haven
#

again only bluepoch and project moon seem to have understood the assignment at all

#

most gacha game stories are bad because they are unsatisfying dripfeeds or plainly feel like theyre being written on the fly

midnight stirrup
#

but every gacha sucks ass story wise

hollow raptor
midnight stirrup
#

youre comparing them to e33 earlier

#

a sp story experience of a good game is way better than any gacha could achieve

#

have you played e33

#

ff7

tight haven
midnight stirrup
#

like anything good

hollow raptor
#

less so e33's story per se (but still excellent) and moreso the character writing, that's just phenomenal and ruins everything else for me lol

tight haven
#

but pm fans generally do not give a shit because its fucking fantastic

midnight stirrup
#

like very little

#

and it shows

daring dove
# midnight stirrup but every gacha sucks ass story wise

I don't think you've played or experienced the story of every gacha game to be honest. An are just constantly highlighting the critically acclaimed SP releases in the past few years. I'll admit on average gacha games tend to have fairly bland stories but saying they're all bad is borderline made up.

midnight stirrup
#

how is it borderline made up when its subjective

#

ive seen better to know gacha stories suck ass

#

do i enjoy them sure

#

but theyre ass

hollow raptor
#

gacha games warp player perspectives because too many people are invested into the story over the years. spend long enough and even bland stories become interesting with enough crumbs lol.

midnight stirrup
#

exactly

#

what is genshins peak storywise

#

what is hsr peak storywise

#

what is ak peak storywise

#

even if they had good moments for a agcha

#

it was fed with dialogue slop

#

sp games dont do that

daring dove
midnight stirrup
#

and have more consequences etc

#

Aight Striker

daring dove
midnight stirrup
#

If gacha stories are as good as some of the best single player games

#

tell me a comparison thats equal in writing

tight haven
#

i just dont think this is a productive conversation atp

native flower
#

E33 narrative definitely had its issues. Not sure why you're citing that as some example of peak storywriting

tight haven
#

yall just seem diametrically opposed

daring dove
hollow raptor
daring dove
#

First it all all live serive games are bad.

midnight stirrup
#

use common sense instead of nitpicking my argument

#

i never shat on mmos whatsoever nor were they ever the topic

#

u can make it about them now technically sure

#

but u know damn well it wasnt about those

tight haven
daring dove
#

Point is if Shadowbringers can drop an amazing story in a live service format there's no reason nobody else can.

gritty briar
#

limbus is kinda a fake gacha anyways

#

no one pulls on it

drifting quest
#

i would not be as hyped as I am for 9.5-2 if the BHK meme phase didnt exist pre canto 9

#

my goat is BACK

tight haven
gritty briar
#

just buying the battlepass like it's some mmo subscription and grinding to get the characters instead of pulling

tight haven
#

i dont think i would have gotten that into a number of anime if they were dumped all at once

#

community engagement was part of the medium and i enjoyed it a lot

hollow raptor
drifting quest
#

i went to 65 and then sparked him anyway

#

i have no walp pulls

tight haven
#

same

#

jihoon...

#

20000 lunacy...

drifting quest
#

thankfully the only semi interesting kit to me is FAS ryoshu

hollow raptor
#

i got 130 for walp but this walp looks very underwhelming

drifting quest
#

and i dont mind the 3-4 month wait for her anyway

hollow raptor
#

might skip, but i know i'll pull anyways when it comes to it

gritty briar
#

i have 200 for walp just cause i took a 2 year break and need to catch up on some announcers i missed

#

i have enough shards to get characters anyways

drifting quest
#

i can spark anything i want moving forward, the 3 (i didnt have anything from s1 i wanted) selectors from anniversary get the remaining old ids i want

#

but im going to pull anyway

#

smile

tight haven
#

walp is the only socially acceptable time to pull

drifting quest
#

fuck it we ball

hollow raptor
#

current hongyuan banner is good too if you missed out on s6

edgy crater
#

now, should u p3 rossi for dat p3 pic lol

drifting quest
#

double thumb hos banner? sign me up

#

i prob wont pull for albina or callisto to be fair

#

spark both of them

daring dove
tight haven
#

i didnt prep at all for walp but #idgaf

#

pm can have a lil extra $40 for how good c9 was

hollow raptor
#

holy lvl 125

#

im like not even half that

tight haven
#

i didnt even log into limbus for like

#

a month

#

before riensang

drifting quest
#

i think im at like 90

hollow raptor
#

only thing i truly regret for not starting earlier is missing out on that xichun profile deco

drifting quest
#

probably less

#

late 70's maybe

tight haven
#

one of my friends is lv135 atp

drifting quest
#

i started at the beginning of canto 8

tight haven
#

i think im washed

hollow raptor
#

i need that xichun profile decoration ;-;

#

never to return

#

rip

tight haven
#

which one

drifting quest
#

indicants rodiya ego banner i was rerolling during

tight haven
#

the spring cult?

#

oh the fucking

#

bp one

#

with the chud baby xichun

hollow raptor
#

it just has lots of xichuns

#

and she is cute

daring dove
#

Do you think this game caps at 60, or we'll be able to keep going even without the rewards being released yet? 108_yaehmm

tight haven
#

this one????

honest hill
#

Shuo I have a question for u

hollow raptor
honest hill
tight haven
#

you couldnt go higher

hollow raptor
#

that has a few xichuns and a sinclair

#

or two

tight haven
#

oh yeah the spring cult one

#

itll rerun

#

dw

jagged stump
tight haven
#

when we get spring cultivation bokgak

hollow raptor
#

i asked in the limbus discord and they told me it's not coming back

tight haven
#

bro you got misinformed

daring dove
# tight haven you couldnt go higher

That's a bit meh, Genshin did that too except it took you half a year almost to hit 60 Genshin. In this game it'll take most people under 2 months.

tight haven
#

they might have thought you meant the bp xichun one

honest hill
#

Anyone know how much ult gain does akekuri need if u run thermite cutter

hollow raptor
#

let me find the profile so im sure

honest hill
drifting quest
#

trademark

#

honest hill
#

Ohh

gritty briar
#

i would think it depends on how fast you need her ult to be to match the rotation of her teammates

honest hill
#

In Avy team and Leva team

tight haven
honest hill
#

How much

hollow raptor
honest hill
tight haven
#

you have to calc it separately based on how many bskills and ake cskills you can expect

drifting quest
#

avy teams usually need less

tight haven
drifting quest
#

laev teams usually want more

tight haven
#

def

hollow raptor
drifting quest
#

it wont rerun till like

#

late this year, early next year

daring dove
tight haven
#

yea

#

probably like uhhhh

#

after canto 10

honest hill
drifting quest
#

canto 10 is august

#

bokgak for lcb checkup is like april

#

so it'll be like december 2026

#

when we get spring culti bokgak

tight haven
#

hopefully yea

jagged stump
honest hill
hollow raptor
daring dove
tight haven
#

yeah just calc like this

edgy crater
#

stealth, do u gonna artificing? or just w8 for red gear

tight haven
#

assuming 1 ake cskill and 6 bskills

drifting quest
#

might as well see what 1.1 gear brings

#

before artificing

edgy crater
#

cause yeah

honest hill
tight haven
#

yeah dont spend any artifice catalysts rn imo

#

its not worth it

honest hill
#

I'm saving min 120

drifting quest
#

i doubt there's huge amounts of changes but

#

now that i have said it

#

there will be huge amounts of changes

edgy crater
#

its posible to be obsolete lol

tight haven
#

surprise redeemer set bonus is just thermite/stanza

#

👍

oh shit

outer ermine

#

w8

daring dove
#

It works the same as Ardelia's weapon in an ideal world where it's straight up 28% increased team damage against a ST.

edgy crater

aint dat technically useable on yvonne

daring dove
midnight stirrup
#

Yo Striker

daring dove

Yo

midnight stirrup
#

Apologies for letting it get so heated earlier from my side. I get very passionate about these things and I was hungry waiting on my food

#

Im still cool with you no beef from my side

daring dove
edgy crater
#

kinda forgot, shuo, can yvonne get 54% cr without using navi/wedge/artzy?

drifting quest
edgy crater
#

hmm, so technically u can make yvonne into cr gear then slap clannibal?

drifting quest
#

technically yes

#

its just worse

#

but technically yes

#

maybe its tech for tt

edgy crater
#

worse than navi?

dawn patrol
#

wait how much cr is yvonne hitting with no food buffs and optimal gear

drifting quest
#

yes

edgy crater
#

damn lol

#

but yeah, its possible for tang2 as well

#

assuming we use her as main dps

drifting quest
#

there's edge cases i guess for carry yvonne on clanni but

#

you're prob forcing it atp

honest hill
#

when is wulfgard getting replaced

drifting quest

I dont think we have anyone else who can consume arts reactions w/ handcannons?

Unless we get a Phys handcannon user for shatter

imagine if wulf's ult forced combustion by consuming any active reaction on a target kekzu

jagged stump

glass birch
#

yvonne doesnt consume solidification tho

#

she consumed cryo infliction

#

inflict =/= reaction

hasty grail
#

She does at the end of ult, though not that useful for this

glass birch
#

oh truer

#

I forgot about that

jagged stump

and lae doesnt care about active combust

she just wants to see combust be applied

that's why no notice

its good regardless, only on wulfgard

no one can use itwell

ohh wait

How long does it take to regen 100 sp naturally?

but yea yvonne consumes

drifting quest

if not doing anything but standing there

glass birch

#

To be honest the activation condition for Clannibal largely kills it or at least makes it extremely niche. If it was instead applying a arts infliction, people would be saying it's as good if not better than Thermite Cutter. Sadly in its current state there's very little use case for it. A_DedTao

glass birch
#

ardelia's suscept is a 30s duration, 20s cooldown, and takes like 3s to first be applied through her combo skill (Since it pops after like 3s) so overall you're looking at 30s duration 17s cd. That leaves some room to add in another 100 SP for clannibal's heat dmg taken/15% heat DMG%

#

But man is it tight

jagged stump
#

reason why we just slap a non set gear with all ult gain so he can spam ult as much as you cna

dawn patrol
#

it's good for wulf mdps

#

if you want to do that ig

glass birch
#

Its def worth it though for Rossi kekzu

glass birch
daring dove
glass birch
#

👀

#

what yu talkin' 'bout willis?

#

Oh its 18s cooldown

#

I see what you mean now

#

so ~15s cooldown due to the lag time on corrosion + 30s duration

#

and the corrosion lasts what?

#

7s?

She can almost chain corrosion

At this rate the TC side of this game is gonna have an identity crisis when the game still lets "bad teams" clear everything

keep doing kits like these

stop asking for optimal ass shill slop design

glass birch

I could totally make a funny here

so fucking boring to tc

glass birch

But I wont go that far

drifting quest

rossi team comp has been both

and the most fun tc

timber harness
drifting quest

and if her numbers are good enough she is 'good' anyway

glass birch
tight haven
#

yeah nothing in this game is knock-your-socks-off difficult yet

drifting quest
#

hardest content is people trying to find the dodge key

#

they unbound it or something

jagged stump

lmfao

tight haven

and as long as that difficulty doesnt come in the form of a plain and uninteractive dps check a la MoC then idm

Waiting for a TC for p5p5 Rossi, p5p5 yvon, p5p5 laev, and p5p5 gilb teamcomp.

drifting quest

there needs to be a healthy mix

tight haven

id do it but you couldnt pay me to p5p5 yvonne

glass birch
#

if the buff her Talent 2 gets from combust is small; gonna just consume combust for 10s of +15 Heat DMG% and 15s of 12 Arts DMG% kekzu

drifting quest
#

more stages like inorganic 2 and 3
less like dorito

daring dove
hollow raptor
#

dorito is a fun fight

#

better than rhodagn by 10 grades

drifting quest
#

dorito is only fun when you skip phase 2

outer ermine
#

PerliFumo rhod isnt real

hollow raptor
#

it's just a fun fight throughout unless you're in a speedrunning mindset because then phase 2 feels aggravating

drifting quest
#

you're in a tc channel

#

what do you expect

hollow raptor
#

tc has nothing to do with speedrunning

drifting quest
#

it's always a speedrunning mindset

Second wave of mobs is annoying, but that's what makes it satisfying if you only deal with one wave

daring dove

normal clears are so easy its nothingburger to discuss

glass birch
#

Though you can probably get wulf's ult every 20s or so

jagged stump
hollow raptor
#

i have not seen a single complaint about normal clears tbh

#

at least on reddit & yt

#

idk about other spaces

glass birch
#

Id hope not

#

normal is lv60

drifting quest
#

normal as in typical

jagged stump
#

dodging is not normal for them

hollow raptor
#

the attack cues are really bad in this game

daring dove
hollow raptor
#

but the dodge window is really generous

outer ermine
#

PerliDerp too generous pls fix

daring dove
#

Actually the more I think about it Ardelia / Gilberta / Rossi would be pretty nuts.

glass birch
jagged stump
glass birch
#

Ardelia cant use her combo on a target w/ vulnerability stacks

oak vigil
daring dove
glass birch
#

Yeah

#

either crush or breach

#

pog with breach would be nice for SP generation + extra damage for over half Rossi's kit

#

and it fixes the issue of vuln stacks for ard

daring dove
#

Means we can use Thermite cutter for ATK buffs too

outer ermine
daring dove

Think we cooking here.

#

What no 1.1 does to a mf

oak vigil
#

Thought about the Pogranichnik/Ardelia/Gilby setup, but I keep forgetting Gilby only applies ARTS susceptibility, not phys and arts like Ardelia

tight haven
#

wulf annoyingly is off by less than 1% of being able to 1 cycle ult

glass birch
#

Hmmm
So rossi teams currently;
Rossi-Wulf-Gil-Ake
Rossi-Wulf-Gil-Perlica
Rossi-Pog-Ardelia-Wulf
Rossi-Pog-Ardelia-Gil

glass birch
#

Combo is full phys and BS SEQ1 is phys

daring dove
oak vigil
#

Hmmm fair

edgy crater
daring dove
glass birch
#

so you need P5

#

P4* not 5

tight haven
#

look at the first screenshot

#

this is with fully artificed gear and gilb p3

#

hes VERY slightly off

glass birch
#

OHHH

#

need like 0.7% more

#

I cant math rn

tight haven
#

yeah its pretty annoying

glass birch
#

Maybe 1.1 gear can fix this?

tight haven
#

gilb p3 feels so mathematically calculated to seem good but not actually have any applications

#

maybe

glass birch
#

If we get a piece with more ult gain efficiency like the no set?

daring dove
glass birch
#

If the redeemer pieces comes with ult gain efficiency then it might fix it 3sChiakiHmm

tight haven
#

a gun with ult eff L fixes it too

#

gilb just is allowed to do this

glass birch
#

maybe TT's BP gun?

tight haven
#

1 cycle ult lol

#

actually this is the one case where gilb p3 matters

daring dove
tight haven
#

she can use xiranite and still hit it

#

259.4

#

not 260

daring dove
#

Fair I just got mine over 260 an forgot about her.

#

I look away for like 2 seconds an her ult is back up.

#

Kind of what you want from a support.

tight haven
#

tangtang may or may not care about gilb p3 too depending on rots

daring dove
#

I lowkey think Tangtang might dethrone Ardelia/Gilberta as the best character in the game. It's still too early to tell of course but her kit looks amazing.

dry kindle

🔥

daring dove
#

Hopefully she's not ruined by terrible CD's or Motion values.

tight haven
oak vigil
#

40s combo skill cd 🗣️ 🔥

#

But yeah I think it will be like 20-25s considering the utility

outer ermine
#

PerliChaos 18s

edgy crater
#

cause if its 40s, dats just another fluorite

tight haven
#

her entire kit would be bricked if her cd was that high

#

she just wouldnt function

daring dove
outer ermine
#

yeah ICANT the cd was hella fast in the preview

drifting quest
#

10-12s range

#

most likely

#

15s at the highest end

edgy crater
#

hmm the cd scale with skill level?

normal tangle
#

slowing enemies?

drifting quest
glass birch
oak vigil
# normal tangle what utility

(I just in general say that CS's have their own utility in one way or another)
Slowness and creates waterpools for arts susceptibility setup for BS or ultimate

drifting quest
#

its just extra damage really

#

a little more sp refund

#

but sp refund will make timelining awkward

dry kindle
#

We fucking love sp return

modest thorn
#

has there been a gacha game that has revealed how they deal with soft pity? like what happens to the rates of 5 and 4 star units

drifting quest
#

Several

#

Both arknights do even

#

Endfield included in that

modest thorn
#

how do they deal with it?

daring dove
#

Isn't it 50% for a 6* once you hit soft pity.

#

Seems very rare you go past soft pity much.

hollow raptor
modest thorn
#

thats what im curious about, i've seen ppl handle it differently in simulators where they're either reduced proportionally or 5 star chances stay the same and 4 stars are reduced

honest hill
next helm
#

64+ you get 5% every pull

neon knot
#

how much stronger is P5 Panda with exemplar over Edmin

lyric latch
#

Tangtang

tight haven
#

"they perform about the same and are better than each other depending on the stage" is the best way to put it

#

da pan is generally better for single-target stages and endmin is generaly better when you're up against more than one enemy

neon knot
#

I see... so it's also fair to assume Endmin might pull ahead in the future cause of 3 more potentials

tight haven
#

we do not know

#

da pan could, in that time, receive support that also makes him better

#

in the form of new ops/gear/weaps

neon knot
#

I can't imagine there could be a support kit that only benefits pan but not endmin

tight haven
#

you really wont regret raising either

neon knot
#

unless it explicitly says "doubla panda's damage if he's on the team lmao"

tight haven
#

if your da pan isnt p5 just use endmin

#

realistically this support would come in the way of tightening rotations because da pan teams generally dont have any issues putting up a ton of vuln

#

they only lack ult energy to keep the loop tight

twilit quail
#

da pan cant meet a good multiple of 4 per rotation rn

#

so they just have to eat shit

#

and do extra skills

#

that dont do anything other than give ult energy

neon knot
#

yeah.. i just got exemplar today so i have no clue how it compares now to endmin, i was building endmin cause i got her sig for $.99

twilit quail
#

while vuln stacks overflow

tight haven
#

yeah youre literally spending sp just to ult

#

ime they really just dont perform too much better than the other

#

you can use both and clear things very quickly

#

phys is a very op team

twilit quail
#

so long as you can afford 3 lv90s

tight haven
#

lmao true

twilit quail
#

to be even in performance with lae

#

who has 3 lv60 support bots

#

and it's endmin/da pan's fault

tight haven
#

i really hope we get a better crusher

#

fuck man

#

endmin rots are too slow da pans cskill makes timing fugly

#

tbh ive been having the most fun with da pan basically running lifeng as a dps

#

since you can spam his bskill guilt-free

#

and it prints damage

issue is CD right?

Anybody wanna make a small DM group chat thing to talk about endfields or something every so often, ngl I kinda want like a little group who play to talk to somewhat consistently rather than just randoms who I'll probably never see again or only like 1 person.
