rossi being really really good is unlikely I think
yes
True there seems to be a bias towards making the opening character of given patch better in my experience.
yea
damn
Rossi has good odds to be good imo
Well, at the very least she is difficult to replace
what's the idea here
Rossi is Rossi
hpmaxxing
rossi depends entirely on her numbers and sig effect
25k HP

What a chad
ember dps 
that's not even ember dps icant
I wonder if we'll constantly get two new 6*'s every update. Or if we'll sometimes start getting 1 new character as we start to get reruns. 
Yes, but endmin has buffing capabilities, and them not being hyperbuffed means they just drop to subdps role. Id assume rossi will have main carry capabilities to make this team work
normal enemies barely scratching her main hp
Like hell, they showcased it as an example. Are the devs really that daft to shaft rossi's numbers on the obvious path they paved
Don't answer that. We know.
Give me anothrr dedicated endmin buffer pls
@sturdy hill how much dmg u do w ember
This is how you build Endmin properly. 

i never understood this gif why does his front light up when the lightning struck behind
I can see it. The potentials they already gave her are quite nifty
shouldn't it be the other way around
It's just visual dramatization. Youre bringing logic to an anime with a flying roided up monkey alien with blonde glowing hair
is thunderberge better than exemplar or sundering prince for her
sundering is for like dps
the guy is HPmaxxing
thunder or finery works
oh
u may wanna ask someone else 
they both share +hp and +str
I do hope they don't follow Genshin's example of making the main character useless.
maybe P5P5 ember is like 30-35k hp
Wdym? The mc is already being used in a meta team. This mc so far is 5000x more performative than aero genshin mc lol
endmin might not be the meta anymore
We're literally at the beginning of the game, mc for Genshin wasn't that bad at the beginning either.
I mean this is pretty early on MC doing fine but may fall off and be replaced by a 6* phys dps
GI mc is the weakest of all mc in every gacha game i ever play
they are borderline useless
This is full on larp because i was present for genshin launch. You were not using aero mc with the very first banner being venti. JEAN as a hypercarry made more sense.
Endmin has a actual logical and functional team you dont have to cope or justify in the way you did to work. It just does.
Aero mc was replaced the moment the servers went live
because everyone had jean and/or venti during genshin 1.0
*p2
An actual good mc on launch from a hoyo game is stelle with preservation, but physical destruction was garbage.
p5 ember is the real curse huh
1.0 with Bennett Xingqiu Fischl Xiangling and you think Aether/Lumine have a chance?
Dude, you don't need to tell me about Genshin launch. Point is their power was closer to meta then than it is now. Where they're in a bottomless abyss. What I'm trying to say is obvious Endmin will need to recieve buffs over time to keep up with characters getting stronger.
Thats the other thing. But comparatively to so many teams even in their own element your first second third and fourth option wouldnt be the mc lol
p2 ember is probably the last key
Their power was never close to meta, but cheers
giving 100hp
I get what youre trying to say but the comparison is bollocks
And there are better comparisons
He will receive buffs, it's called potential
Closer to meta than the are now that's 100% accurate from a pure mathematics standpoint.
Alot closer.
And from a literal standpoint "a lot closer" is they went from the sub sub sub category as a potential option to unusable.
This is like saying snowshine in her current state is "much closer to meta from a mathematical standpoint" than endfield in 4 years.
Like what are we even talking about
Strange hill to die on.
Ok so what I have been saying the entire time is hopefully this games protagonist doesn't get weaker & weaker over time.
You're the one hyper stuck on the specifies which you're still wrong about not me. 
physmc was actually decent in 1.0
fwiw
They were
I was confused by physmin for a moment
Stelle had options thats fair to say
Luckily despite the massive powercreep they even do now
There's a possibility we'll get different elements in the story
If we reuse genshin features, let's just copy everything

If im hyper stuck on it, why are you defending it so hard?
If its so objective, why havent you started making any sense yet?

I ask these questions, then remember what your current fav character is. Then i wonder "does he justify off meta in every game he plays?"
everyone will get weaker over time if new team can't handle power creep
Might be a lisara situation
usually they can't
So i let it be
a what
Youtuber that fights everyone online for off meta takes in every gacha they play
huh? 😭
Makes a drama out of "x meta unit is actually so broken and theory crafters are stupid"
If it's arguing with prydwen they might be correct each time
Like theyd make a video right now saying snowshine is actually so broken look they can trimming this boss
As if everyone cant trimming the fucking boss lol
I AM GONNA REGRET THIS HARD
Healing
@bronze plume
Some time in future you'll have stage somewhere where you going to be glad
ok but how is that picking a fight against everyone online
mr dolly is gonna hit hard
Like man, look at those websites with "meta" posted
You go to their community posts and look at their passive aggressive comments towards people who disagree with them
It's gonna be roasted most of places
i am sad i have no sanity left to upgrade the weapon NO I WONT USE MY FOODS
The MC's of gacha games usually recieve buffsr over time to help defy power creep to some extent. Even Genshin's MC receives them.
You can literally observe it for yourself just by going to see for yourself on their channel. It was a literal statement. They fight with everyone online
i ate it
Using only pots with non infinite shelf life
I know that
imagine if devs just didn't power creeped
i also keep this for funny
Are you rage baited into watching or was that genuine arguments?
they would go broke cause people are not paying 250$ for new chars
Also snowshine was amazing as far as I took her in questline
No i watched because i enjoy people min maxing certain characters as its good to see a character underrepresented present genuine merit
But then they take it 7 steps further into a pissing match
So it ruins their own content
Snowshine is good tho
Who says snowshine is bad?
So far for role it's either snowshine or ember
Are you about to argue with shuo about how snowshine is meta?
Dude, you're lliterally full on hate-wagoning me for saying hopefully this game's MC doesn't get weaker over time. Then spreading bs about me. I dunno what to tell you. 
If not, then there is no problem here.
The conversations been over for a minute. Now youre exaggerating
Just drop it atp
Yes
Best in role
Soon(tm)
depends if 2.0 has a new endmin

Youre kinda proving my lisara point with arguing a point never made just because i didnt slurp up snowshine
Between now and heat death of universe
they could dripfeed pots of year(s) if we only ever have the one endmin
snowshine is only good as a defender but not good overall
Ehh? Best in role so far
Me saying snowshine is "not meta" and will be worse off in the future is not me saying "snowshine is worthless"
defenders just suck
dreamy mentioned 🔥
Sadge im gonna be playing p2 endmin forever?
we dont know
Until you need one for stage

P5P5 one day
That would be the literal worse way to handle an mc
I mean needing a certain role is just bad
Those potentials would have to be severely overtuned if they want it to have longevity
i mean i doubt it happens but we dont know anything, it could happen
I just hope we get them on 1.2
There are ways in which devs can make you unable to outdps stage

Like capping damage
Fair enough but you're the one that made this personal an passive aggresive.
that's just stupid tho
forcing u to use a defender to clear a stage
Im even trying to find leeks about it lmao
that fucking bull that i hate
But man those leeks are bad af
3 of the 4 bosses right now, maybe 4, have dps gates

ruan yi is a middle finger boss for physical team
how so
i don't see any mech that make bull difficult to handle for phys?
I guess lifeng BS can wiff if he jumps around ?
but pog is BIS to pickup the green orbs 
even elec which has x0.8 damage into him clears well
eh, that happens to all skill that not executed at right time
you can't use a long ass skill when he about to go haywire and blame that he dodge it
wait until you get boss that actually initiated dodge to fuk you like PGR does 
isnt that shield for every op ?
you just have to wait like 15sec at the start
not only at the start
If we do then its potentially good news
he occasionally has it up too
Means we are likely to get more mc elements
its just when you fail to 1 cycle p1 right
you can get trim with 2 cycle p1 anyways
Idk why people are adverse to that anyway. Just because their least fav games do it. It just means mc will exist in and out of meta for a long time
I just breach and burst once he goes down xd
No? You can still attack him with ranged attacks
Like when he roars he gets that shield with aoe pushback, ranged is just right out of that range for it to not be pushbacked
WHAT
Ruan Yi has elec and nature res
yeah be he takes like 0 dmg ?
idk never did it with ranged
Combos setup and also some sp heal from finishing strike
oh so he's the first boss to have arts res?
I see
wtf i never knew
Everything essentially
rhodagn marble have no res changes afair
A resist is gonna be -80% damage?
res existing hasn't even registered in my mind because none of it matters and everything falls over regardless of what you play lol
Yeah it is possible to trim him with an electrical team even without corrosion (since I am using the electrical team setup without corrosion, I can confirm that lol)
A what
I assume that D is no resist, C is 0.8
the letter rankings suck
Oh trust me with that 200 seconds limit it’s such pain in the ass
for lae should i use the new hot work exoskeleton for more intellect?
it's x0.8
0.8 is C
It's not consistent?
why do they keep making shitty decisions
same as arknights 
it's from arknights btw
Zero clarity and accuracy
I like how endfield combines some of the WORST features from genshin and arknights
would it still fine to sacriface second attribute for more main attribute?
Like no guarantee carryover
I meeean, this is basically like in most rpg games ever it’s shown this way, no?
Via A-F ranking
I don't know, I don't play MMO's
cause arpg gachas are made by mmo blueprints, not rpg

I wish they would drop it with the creative banner bs & just give us a 50/50, also doing 40+ pulls on Yvonne's weapon banner for 2 copies of the weapon doesn't feel good. But outside of that I can't complain too much.
please never play an mmo if you think endfield is bad
Game has been pretty kind to me.
Mmmmmh different genre of games though? Endfield is more of real time strategy RPGs
Like Final Fantasy 7 Remaster iirc
in response to the comment about arpgs being similar to mmos
Oh okay, fair
I played in MMO's like 10 years ago. Endfield is definitely not close to RPG games that I play in terms generosity
There are some incredible aspects to the game though. Like the ray-traced reflections being so on-point.
people care about game genre? i only play because it has arknights in the name 
idk I just play because chen is cute
sue me
game's just my side bitch while I put another 12000 hours into ffxiv because I have no respect for myself
the woes of 3050 users
funny you say that
I'm guessing that's a laptop GPU?
I feel like endfield is the one gacha that doesn't set my pc on fire nowadays
Seems very hot for a desktop card.
It's one of the most resource-demanding nowadays, is it not?
like character models having double the amount of polygons than usual
the only other I've been playing as of late is wuwa and it runs like shit, but that's my only reference point in the last three years
Has anyone tested the new gear set on other characters? Like making a Dps build using Type 50 Yinglung on Fluorite since there’s now gear stats that matches what she needs?
Endfield story is more like fanfiction to arknights, cause it has completely different team
that has nothing to do with og ak
so true ngl, feeling im playing entirely different game
but rhode island mentioned in surtr story is funny
it have it referenced here and there, so an og AK player will enjoy it more
rhode was mentioned more in beta apparently but a lot of it got cut
I hopped on cause I was interested in ak story, only to find out that it has nothing from og
I ran 3pc yinglung w/ the new pieces on chen earlier and I couldn't tell you if it's actually better but it made my ult damage number go up and that's enough for my addled brain
No drama, no philosophy, no complex worldviews
itll tie with ak story in like a year or 2 
endfield kinda like a what if side game to og ak
yeah you trade the stagger for like 20% more dmg than sundering+swordmancer
It's as if J.K. Rowling had officially canonized a Harry Potter fanfic.
that's how I feel it
I still stagger on time to align with my bursts but I also play sundering ember when I'm on my phone to not have to try so
haven't tried with lifeng yet maybe it gets ugly, idk
What is it you’re testing with Lifeng?
just in terms of how much stagger he generates, if it's enough to comfortably reach gold stagger around the time that I'm in my 2nd or 3rd vuln cycle
even without chen on swordmancer
Btw am I the only one noticing that characters like Tangtang & Gilberta that specialise in growth related ship bonuses have useless ship passives? Which after a month of playing I have more growth materials that I can possibly use? 
yes growth chamber is useless
you can ignore it
Yeah I was coming to the same conclusion.
I do growth chamber cause why not
How important is tang2's sig vs bp compared to like laev? I heard some sig like yvon's arent rlly worth it
depending on how many chars you have you need to put chars that dont have growth skills in dijang
tang2 signature is irreplaceable
due to alternatives being dogshit
same as khrav
like dapan is better in control room and chen in factory
also real ones spent all their bp boxes on glorious memory already anyways
I want to know the % difference to decide
Yeah I still use it but do I really need more of this stuff?
I have like 100/100/300/300 of them
Again though what's the point?
I want to raise a lot of chars
I dont actually have a cryo team rn (lr/yvon), if im not using her as support, just as mdps when im bored with phys is sig still much better than bp? As i understand what bo wep is lacking is in the team support aspect
that's fair, I'm just fairly confident it's equivalent or better and more importantly it doesn't look like a kid's pair of safety scissors
Ok but by the time you get enough T-creds to raise them all you'll have 900 of everything.
See what I'm saying.
i dont have infinite tcreds
i wish i did
dropped some 800 sanity into tcreds today
Consider applying for a second employment, deposit your monthly payment into endfield
when the game will inevitable cease to exist, devs will say you thanks
Either do I, having P5'ed every charactger so far except Pog I'm still massively T-cred starved.
im leveling and investing elite levels into chars just for dijang and I still have ton of tcreds left over 
im actually looking for proper full time work lmao
most of my 'work' is volunteer positions
Literally can't work cause my phone is shattered 
i dont wanna work
And even then, I don't consider donating for orig since devs didn't cared enough to add regional prices
My purchasing power is half that of Europeans in dollar terms, but the prices are the same. It's strange.
even with gainful employment i have a lot to spend on before i consider spending much more on gacha lol
I reckon if I kept P5'ing every character (I likely won't) I'd reach the point where I'm not resource limited by about month 4 or 5. For a battle pass & monthly only purchaser I reckon month 12 you'll no longer be resource constrained.
But they could easily add new sanity abysses for us.
Once that happens, they will start adding new 4-5 stars, trust me
They'll release them in bunches
Those are cheap pull-wise, but boy, do they consume as much resources as others
wait lmao i wasnt even trying
either that or they didnt count the weird no damage phase into the timing
20% electro resist btw
trims arent hard
I wish bosses had agony mode
idk i felt like i lsot a whole bunch of time chasing the stupid orbs

but if that didnt count into the trim timing then i guess its a free trim
well for this boss it isn't at all, they can be hard if ur units are not heavily invested
I have lv80 team no essence no masteries no artificing and its not hard, cant imagine how much easier it is with these investments
do it without food buffs
surely it'll be the same
In which cases ginseng stew is better than jakub's bread?
Seems like bread gives much bigger buff
Nah probs too hard 
Thing that truly hurt my brain was them nerfing overworld levels down to level 60 a week after launch.
Food buff too strong
Than ginseng ?
ik u just trolling saying trim is easy
+22% atk vs flat 160 attack
bread gives 27% atk right?
It's like who looked at the current state of the game an said "this game is too hard lets make it easier". 
I don't remember and I can't check rn
I mean I dont count food buffs as "investment"
It is kind of hard if you don't know how to make teams
Takes 0 sanity to grow ginseng
well obviously
and your strength is very dependant on grindy essenses and artifice
ppl will say trim is easy when they use ginseng/jakub's legacy
Yeah ?
i should time myself on the trim again to see if its a fluke
that did not feel like 200s
does anyone have numbers on glorious memory vs sundering yet?
give me challenge, give me oneshots, give me boss bars
Or I retire
for chen
considering the time loss at the start and the xiranite phase
it's hard without food buffs but most ppl won't do that
but then again my avywenna is 90/90 pot5 m12 weapon maxed sooooo
it forces u to build ur units and learn rotations unlike agony mode u can run around for 10m and clear

literally watched someone spam arde heals for 10m
u want trim to just be low effort like umbral
People have just given ranges of 8-12% dpending on critical luck P5 versus P5 - Memory being stronger.
Time trim is low-effort dps check
still have to learn rotations and have the right team comps
If people need heals to complete umbral, it's their skill issue
Time trim is like 5% harder than umbral
if u use a food buff it's easy asf
I'd say it's worth it to P5 Memory if you're a battle pass purchaser just because all other battle pass sigs have been bad so far.
nice upgrade
thank you
the real upgrade is the aesthetics imo
box cutter ahh weapon
Rossi bp has one upside compared to sundering
It doesn't looks like box cutter
I was sold at this moment
Exactly, the 5* weapon looks like dogs.
good thing memory is better
8-12% if you’re still on swordmancer
can switch to the new yinglung pieces
you just lose the stagger for a bit more damage overall
That's it? 5 to 6 star difference should be bigger
does it depend on the set? I thought she always uses swordmancer
sundering is broken
how many different gacha servers can I run into you in

It's heavenly restriction
It's fugly because it has too good stats
just like smart kids get nerfed with autism
sundering just has an absurd effect
I believe any weapon with second-third line attack can be considered top tier, just because of how much power atk% has
ye the wep looked chopped af
Do we know the rotation of last rite team with tang tang
Sundering steel irl
To be fair her sig still looks the best on her even if it is pretty mid for a 6* weapon. 
ye the wep has right main stat + phys dmg dealt + 56% attack
too broken
rapid ascent? why does it have crit i don't get it
Devs should replace second line of RA with attack (L) and it will become top-tier
Just as it should be
I think the devs are still diluted enough to think CR is a good stat in their game. When in reality even if the weapon gave 39% CR instead it'd still be strictly worse than 39% ATK.
They just haven't properly balanced their stats.
I like how you can blame everything on a new team and it woudn't be disingenuous
could they "fix" it w new gear maybe
Cause they are in fact noobies
Need to start giving weapons CR XXL bonuses.
lmao
if they did make gear to make crit rate weapons to be good as atk% weps that'll be nice
have either option to work with
There's no crit damage. In gachas crit is so powerful cause you can scale crit damage
And people do it like 2,5-3x
so they can make crit damage gear hmm
with 25-50% chance
please don't turn endfield into another crit game 😭
Can we just remove this ts then
Either make it a viable option or forget about it
big fan of my staggerslop ngl
it's nice that only a couple characters can effectively use crit
I want the option to pick from crit maxxing and atk% maxxing they should both be equal
What does stagger issues means?
man... if i already invested into artificing there's no way to "transfer" the levels to a new piece is it?
more like, crit should be more effective on some characters and vice versa
chen having crit on her sig is just dumb
It woudn't matter if raw atk and crit would be equal on chars
yeah that as well through gears
Hypercarry sig is less important than tt sig 
HG smh
they could make a Mi Security version for crit damage gears idk
Can y'all tell what does stagger issues mean? Like you can't get to stagger the boss or something?
tt stagger value is lower
Lowered stagger output
so take longer to stagger
ye
Does p1 lr giving more stagger fixes it lowkey
idk actually
doubt it
Honestly if I where the devs I'd just fix the issue now, before it becomes a bigger problem. An just say look we screwed up on the large CR bonus on weapons it shouldn't of been 19.5% it should of been 39%. That means all characters with CR weapons are getting a buff. Perfect time to do it would be on Rossi release.
how do u think they should buff those characters? through their kits or gears
Also, whys gilberta used instead of ardelia or perlica?
I like how they ignored all character-building feedback on cbt2 and changed nothing
except for nerfing akekuri
bigger amp in a smaller time window
an IQ too high indeed
sp issues
ye why they nerf her?
So I should be using lr gilberta tt and xaihi?
If I was HG, I'd either remove crit or rework it entirely in 1.2
ake was too op op i guess
well yeah I kinda prefer perlica tho
To be honest even 39% CR is still stricktly worse than 39% ATK on pretty much every character except Yvonne I reckon. 
that's because Yvonne kit likes CR
Imagine if HG adds support that adds guaranteed crits to controlled operator or skills
removing it would mean removing yv*nne
Would be interesting

I was using ardelia instead of perlica and it was like 70k increase for combo skill
She's just fine with minor tweak to use raw damage instead
nah
Problem w arde is the sp issues
Problem with arde in my team is that she's doing almost nothing 
ez trim
I don't need her heals and I don't have spare SP for activating susc
Yeah I had to waste fs for sp
ye
it's bad
perli and gilberta are sp free
tho perli can buff cs and ult
gilberta only ult
Perli is support in some teams cause her electrification basically works like arts susc, right?
yeah it's seperate
So can I put her on Xuranite
oh i just realized how to phase 3
no u use pulsar
pls gib me 65s
nah susc and dmg taken is different bracket
Xaihi main that's why Tangtang would of avoided the juggling. Mostly because there's nothing to juggle. 
tt too busy jumping around to be controlled 
i love this boss
good orb = meteor/rcharge, bad orb = stands still/jump
and he body blocks the last orb from time to time
How many 3-3 essence matches does everyone else have for their weapons?
I'm upto 19 so far.
mostly 663 
i have 3/3's for the ones that need 3/3 that i use
so what
full laev hyper, full phys, half of tt dps so far
need to calc out dps perl vs buff slave perl
i dont own a deto or chiv either so gotta calc out how that impacts xaihi vs akekuri
and properly test akekuri link mechanics

I've got 26 for for the majority of weapons i do not own
tho no a single 9/9/3 didnt farm enough, just aimed for efficient for multiple weapons per run
I haven't counted but I think I've got all 6 star weapons essence but maybe 2 or 3.
I switched to farming creds cause I ran out of engrave tickets
I have to stop buying stamina I have too much
"how much battle skill you want fam"
I'm still doing 5 sanity refreshes a day rn, mostly to just keep up with the amount of characters I want to build to reasonable levels.
I'm still doing all 10 although it feels worse not getting xp anymore. That was my dopamine hit. So maybe I'll reduce it
Honestly mathematically it doesn't make sense to go past the 1,1,2,2,2 stage. The amount it costs for the next 5 refreshes is just absurd. You'll still hit the same point where you have enough resources to max every single character around month 3-4.
Only difference is you'll hit it a few weeks earlier doing the last 5.
But cost yourself about 500-600 worth of pulls in the process.
Yeah I should reduce down to 4 maybe. That's just 2 dollars a day.
I'd rather have pulls
I'll pull for tangtang tomorrow
just skip ur meals ye
If I can get her in 480 I'll do another 480 on standard I think
Oh I'm not worried about money lol
But without the xp it is much less attractive to buy stamina
Yeah, an you'll also hit burn out where resources become meaningless much sooner.
So overall there's just not a lot of sense to doing it.
how good is it on p0 compared to p5 sundering?
it only says p5
just fast
Only my main team is 90/90. I just don't want to learn anymore teams lol
So I'm definitely building characters faster than the game can release them.
I have a ton of resources
these 2 pink names smh
wtf 10 refreshes?
But yeah whale shop + stamina refills is just tons of stuff
Welcome
Spending origeometry?
i still have like 7k quota for mats to 90, 7 rn
I am myself currently 4 characters fully 90 lvl and 2 characters 80 lvl iirc
this must be a rich person conversation i'm too poor to understand
i thought the super expensive refreshes at the end only existed to make the first 5 look more appealing
To be fair, you can get 5 sanity refreshes every single day for a month for about $50. It's hardly big money involved some people spend more than that on a gym membership.
Must be nice livin in america
It's $12 a day for all 10 which is about 1/3 the cost of my lunch here in NYC 
p0 bp is a bit worse than p5 sundering, it isn't worth getting unless you'll get pots on it
50$ in sea aside from maybe singapore can cover food for half a month
Yeah lots of money in that city. Just leaving an working in NYC pretty much defaults you to being able to whale in every gacha game like it's nothing.
its just that i also dont have p5 sundering, but i was wondering since its a 5* weapon its easy to get anyways yk?
(its p0)
anyways, thanks!
Yeah definitely just moving here more than doubled my salary
would be so nice if food only cost $3 a day in sg lmao
icesoup special
I'm in the UK btw, but wages here are also pretty good.
Not as good as NYC mind.
Naw I'm a North West lad (Liverpool) but I have a very nice job.
just eat stomach medicine for ur lunch 
Would earn more in London for sure.
I wish this were true
But gota stay close to my family.
Mushy peas 
jmhn cgbv i wasnt recording fuckk
Every job is £25k/yr
maybe? i spent around like 30 sgd per day on meals back when i lived there 
Family numba 1, yep
The lowest salaried person in my building is 29k.
Id earn the same money working in like ASDA as I would as a lab tech in a specialised field that requires a phd
My work starts employees at 100k lol

Yeah NYC is big money.
And they still say it's not enough to live
Demn, these ppl be flexin on seabros
trust me you don't wanna be here
Not a flex when you consider cost of living
Well i suppose

Yeah, my friend is aus also said the same
my uni halls rent in london is actually insane
I'm fortunate with my living situation. My boss owns a lot of houses and rents me one for cheap
tbf
even if you make enough to live in nyc the other qualitative aspects of stuff here are something for sure
living in america as a whole cant be a flex
Ah yeah I definitely don't. I like it where I live an have zero desire to move abroad. Still pointing out that where I live the average wage is only around 30k (40k in US terms). I reckon the average wage in NYC is closer to 80-90k.
The the more u earn, the more u r able to save to the point where going on a vacation to sea countries feels like u r a king 
I think average is like 60k everyone just has 8 roommates
most young people that don't work high paying corporate jobs just room with others yeah
but like money aside
don't get me started on the MTA
What's mta?
our subway system
Ah
do people piss on the seats there too
NYC subway is famous
I have an image from two weeks ago of a homeless guy shitting on the floor of a car
so yes

I was just jokin cos that don't rly exist in sum sea countries

ya we are privileged to have functional public transport at all
but holy shit man
I've only been here since August but haven't taken public transport my boss won't let me LOL im from a town that doesn't even have buses
Sounds nice and not at the same time 
almost walked into an empty cabin on the tube a couple days ago, the seat closest to the door had a massive wet spot 😭
i miss singapore
Tbf i do hear there r alot of bum in nyc these days
Cali worse?
Yeah Cali weather allows for a ton of homeless
by a lot lmao
It's hard being homeless in a place like NYC where the weather will kill you
Oh... U mean as in home destroyed...
Well bum means no home here
How many updates do u all predict it’ll take for gryph to release a proper physical main dps that replaces endmin/dapan in a pogra team?
Yeah it can get pretty cold there at points it's very much like the UK in that respect.

We had the worst winter in like 60 years this year
we actually got so much snow this winter
The year I move here
the most in my memory

Can't say, not enuf data
Yeah the rain turned to frost
We had hail hmm maybe two weeks ago
I had my car windows open and it kept hitting my arm
I wouldn’t say fully “replace”, but as far as every game in existence goes, power creep eventually kicks in. Buuut all operators still will be useful in their own way, even if quote on quote “replacable” option appears in like maybe 4 months or 1 year
Like you can’t exactly just go wrong with simple stuff
Talks like this make me lose faith in the world 
Rossi technically can powercreep Chen, but is more of an alternative
(really hyperbolic example)
Unlikely
tbf thats kinda what rain will do if you have a window open
I reckon somewhere in the range of the next 2 to 467 updates. 
Yeah
I think endmin is gonna stay pretty strong
id be very scared if rossi powercreeps chen
I think they want endmin to be strong for a while yeah
Endmin will have her pots to keep her "sumwhat relevant"
given that a lot of his power budget is in crush which is a flat scaling regardless of character, and crystals can buff nukes from other characters as well
Right, that would not be funny 
3000% ult mv trust
20% damage taken is pretty significant on finisher and chen ult and whatnot
3000% ult mv wouldnt powercreep chen it'd just powercreep laev yvonne lr etc
Probably the only gacha game (I might be wrong though) where main character isn’t power crept after very first patch loool
cough
Go oooon
da pan stocks
Fair point
all they need is for 1.2 to give endmin a good enuf pot
If endmin get powercrept, wouldn't dapan be even worse when it's not as good as endmin currently?
its going to be
fat panda sounds exactly like my uncle
so funny if 1.2 endmin is back

he's just missing the wifebeater
id rather play dapan then generic memory lose mc #19873459 tbf
1.3 new greatsword for dapan or something so dapan wins again
with mysterious stains
1.4 another endmin pot so endmin is better
please let it happen
oh my god it would be so funny
1.5 a new phys unit that makes both mid
real
Then 1.5 a new phy crush chara that powercreep both
id expect 1.2 or 1.3 potentially does that
Fuk we thought of the same thing lol
id be fine without a new phys unit for a while
please
1.6 is gonna be new endmin weapon that synergizes with her p3
based on element dist
we dont need more phys for now
let that mf die

I reckon 1.2 is just nature & lightening. 1.1 is techincally the new "PHY" character.
Nature...
i could see it being 1 nature 2 elec 1 fire
Fire?
heat
pyro
pyro
Yeah ik but who..?
🔥
whatever you wanna call it
liz has somewhat fire vibes i guess
Ardelia the hvit aska
same for the male
Who's liz?
i never remember her name
dat the birb
liberi trailer girl
Hvit aska?
my guest is rossi would be physical


this man didnt play ak
Heat team could legitmately use a buff after Tangtang dropping to be fair. It's definitely lost its spot as the best all-rounder.
I do didn't play ak
Eyja2 is Eyjafjalla the Hvit Aska

Ardelia is Eyja reconvener
to be honest it arguably never was the best all rounder
compared to premium phys
it was the best low cost all rounder team
Ardelia = Eyjafjalla reconvener
Eyjafjalla the Hvit Aska = Limited version of Eyja
True
Imagine if the new unit gonna be lightning/nature hybrid instead
Just like rossi's phy/fire

i just want a nature dps
Amber is just rossi but mark as heat
ahem fluorite
amber

nah you funny

look how beautiful she is (dont ban me somehting about rossi being good tc goesw brr)

Who?
thats Eyjafjalla
thrown away > running 
Ardelia is Eyjafjalla reconvener
yea its literally faster
like how Laevatain is surtr
Right i accidentally trimmed that guy when i was farming for mats to up my perlica
Yeah that part i know already, stuff abt reconvener
I just haven't played og ak 
Oh- I did not think about using the explosive blobs as launchers loool
Meanwhile me just letting them bop me like a pinball:
This is why i bring a ton of healing item

How is Hot Work Exo-rig (the new int one) with LYNX Slab faring with Lavacakes comparing with tidefall armor?
why you like being abused
so this is strikers acc

can u even down it more tho
theres alot downtime on bull stage
n pray u dont get bug where 0 hp but still do full rotation lmao
-1.5s if kill is on combo
and atleast 5s on phase 2 if its really good lineup
4 orbs spawn together on one side
or
5 orbs gather on one side and away from ruan
or
3 orb left side paths to u and u launch immediately to right
yes i fuckin wrote them down so i can reset faster
phase 2 is the decider
orb spawn random isnt?
and pray to god hes prepping to do big jump
no meteors, no rams, no waves
theres 3 orbs that has consistent pathing
but mostly random
does it actually save on a lot of resources to farm a higher base-etched essence?
kindof hard to tell because the success rate for etching low tier essence like this is "Very high"
and the orbs are crazy good at juking
yvonne run is like
slower phase 1
insta oneshot phase 3
lr
oneshot phase 1
cope phase3

for ruan?
Difference is minimal I believe
tysm
yea
wasn't it around 10% more teamwide damage more sig vs bp?
9.6% more team wide damage roughly depending on dilution it could be a little less.
But you get effectively infinite uptime on the debuff.
That's at P0 of course it scales to 16.9% at P5.
hmm, might have to get it eventually then, will have to wait for first 1.2 banner
I think if you also factor in the personal damage benefits for Tangtang you actual team wide damage upgrade over BP weapon would be closer to 12%. But there's too many factors at play to give a definitive number there.
I mainly use her for Yvonne team
What gear for Tangtang?
Thanks
so like
tt gear went back to being ???
slab
mi gloves
yinglung chest
all 3 have
timelines and reasons
potentials impact it too
Yeah we where discussing it earlier, I did think for general use case that above screenshot is recommended though.
Especially when you aren't fully artificing with benefits slab more.
the yinglung chest one is apparently the go to baseline now
for required uge for rots
but im still looking into it because other rots exist
per maygi and her timelines at least
she seems to be getting that bonekrusha gloves are better too so i need to look into that
I mean if you are swapping the chest piece Bonekrusha gloves would indeed be best.
The more I try yvonne the more I dislike it
Otherwise you'd lose set bonus.
even w/o 3p
I assume its not safe to artifice any piece fully yet? are the masks safe to do?
wouldnt artifice anything
👍
damage profile means generic dmg > bskill dmg
i would recommend yinglung armor
Damage profile varied wildly though
cause last rite and herself are doing SP return
Some rots have what 80+% skill dam
generic is always safe at least
I mean in my case I 100% don't need ult gain with P4 & Gilberta P3, but yeah for general P0 players it might be a requirement. 
in the 80+% ones youd run the mi
I suppose it goes hand in hand atp anyway
The rots that need uge are the ones bonekrusha gloves win out at and you then need bk gloves anyway

Mdps tt skews towards slab more rn
So its a more niche case for mi gloves ig
But then prydwen is 4p bonekrusha

Only 3 weapons listed
ya i would recommend yinglung heavy armor t1 base
Bonekrusha gloves allow you to easier swap to slab later as well to be fair. So there's a good argument even if there's a small difference to just artifice those since you can then swap an off-piece to slab down the road.
Would slab even be the play for subdps ever?
yesnt
eh
premium thing with pots
is there a point when home longing beats most other guns ?
clannibal should sheet marginally ahead of p5 HL
so then it beats p0
If I get pots is because I get dupes pulling for 1.2 character number 1 lol
clannibal is close behind home longing
wedge is worse but should still beat p0
but i guess
I just p2
Just use the set I recommended for now then & don't artifice chest or gloves yet.
hl 87%
or so
assuming HL buffs spouts properly
still need to find someone to test that
We need more information on if ult gain matters for normal rotiations.
An if the ult gain is worth the tangtang damage loss.
I'm mean gibel
P0 tang tang
prob different rots yeah
i calced it as better in p1 sub dps rotas with 5 combos

i hate how powerful slab is, it's weird
i cant wait for slab to die forever
Well if she spooks me on my 20 free pulls on Rossi or the first 1.2 character pulls if I’m pulling, I will keep that in mind
I agree it's so annoying that it pops up in character builds that absolutely shouldn't be using it.
Do you think that clannibal is reusable for future characters?
this game just has very open-ended tc in general and its a lot of fun
clannibal is technically
The subs don't even bloody match.
giga generic
but god dang is it a lot of work
fun...

yea..............................
i need to get an eye doctor atp from the sheets
I think half your pain is the fact you have to speedrun it because no early access tbf
it's gonna lead to burn out but ill try my best 
which team is this subdps set being referenced to?
Do you think slab is worth without artificing, for me that seems a tougher call. If you assume max artifice obviously it wins.
things keep changing then looping back
which makes it annoying for guide purposes
but its starting to settle at least
my body is pissed at me for how long im sitting at the desk all day and staring at sheets, ive put in like ~40-50hrs ish since patch drop
🫡
should just max artifice it its busted as heck
yea im unironically investing into a treadmill and standing desk

not a bad idea tbh...
Standing desks are op if you work from home
Yeah I just don't think slab should be the general recommendation just yet. More of a higher investment recommendation once you're pretty advanced in your gear artificing process if you get what I mean.
I think if you're just throwing gear on Tangtang an she isn't your artificing target.
uge vs 0 uge is rot dependent
just artificing for tangtang is already like minmax territory in itself
unless ur tangtang main dps gigachad
(shes really fun main dps tbh)
i need to finish calcing
oblivi dps perlica
vs buff slave
for tt dps
and then ake vs xaihi too
Akekuri?
yeah
For link battleskill?
or ult
I’m still just trying to figure out what rotation I wanna use for Yvonne. I assume it’s setting up a 3 tornado tt skill into pressing all the ult buttons but idk for sure lol
link appears to buff the rogue wave and waterspouts from talent 2
i need to record some myself to triple check
Yeah, I even found ult damage gloves to be pretty good on her for instance dungeons where you start with ultimate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9jOoj9Uh5k
Just a quick video to show how insanely front-loaded Tangtang's damage is once she's fully built.
2 tangtang combo -> skill
2 tangtang combo -> ult
1 stack + 3-4 stack yvonne deto (you only need 3 stack, but with how a rotation may be drawn out by dodging and whatnot you may end up getting 4 stack anyway waiting for tangtang cooldown)

It’s not worth it to get one stack off xaihi cs?
i love tt mdps technically* owning all 4 recrisis speedrun records!
just dont look into why she has all 4
To get the extra whirlpool
u do 2-3 xaihi skills in total
I'm currently at the point where, at least at whale investment Tangtang seems to be the strongest DPS to me rn to be fair.
Oh wait combo I can’t read nvm
An I have them all at really high investment levels.
Ok but that bug was funny
still unpatched btw
I thought Lin-0 said it was patched… he lied…
