welcome to the bottom of the barrel

fossil pendant
#

spoke it into existence

#

keep the mouth closed next time OMEGADANCE

drifting quest
#

ironically it was a redeemer chest for me too

smoky quarry
daring dove
#

40 successful attempts at raising Artificing progress congrats Klee_Derp

smoky quarry
#

Physparty is so fucked on this umbral

drifting quest
#

its workable

#

you can stagger the 3rd fight a lot more often

#

which compensates a lot for the dr

#

in a few days you can also slap rossi on the team

#

and actually have it work

fossil pendant
#

yeah this felt like it was handmade for rossi

#

even for laevatain it's a little funky because you can't absorb stacks with 4mf and the paused sp regen can prevent you from spending any

smoky quarry
drifting quest
#

wouldnt call it free

smoky quarry
#

heat infliction appears out of nowhere (and apparently this triggers wulf combo, lol)

drifting quest
#

easier than other teams for sure

#

but not free

#

no natural sp regen is pretty rough for laev for one

fossil pendant
#

I didn't even use wulfgard's bs lol

drifting quest
#

and the boss can anim cancel laev too

fossil pendant
#

just wait for each enrage cycle to eat all the natural stacks the boss generates

smoky quarry
#

I wonder why it's even there

fossil pendant
#

I would say it's there to punish you for playing like a monkey but the character is kind of designed for you to play like a monkey otherwise so idk lol

quasi quarry
#

is Lifeng P1 considered good because it has substantial change to rotation or because of the increase in Physical Susceptibillity, if it's the first can you give any examples

drifting quest
#

the obvious answer is the right one

#

aka its both

fossil pendant
#

idk about substantial but it does let you extend the effective duration of your susc because you don't have to open each subcycle with it

smoky quarry
drifting quest
#

putting you closer to p2 and p3 is relevant too

tight haven
#

yeah that was free as fuck

#

laev dumpstered every single stage

quasi quarry
tight haven
#

fun though

tight haven
#

not applying susc = not accessing cskill on lifeng = less lifeng ults (slower cycles), less links

quasi quarry
#

so this is a QoL thing and not an optimisation thing?

fossil pendant
#

well if there's breach on the team you still get it but

drifting quest
#

Its both

tight haven
#

it is practically an optimization thing

fossil pendant
#

like

#

losing 12% susc is kind of a pretty major deal

tight haven
#

no enemy is going to stand still and let you play your rotation out

drifting quest
#

It lets you save combos between crush/breaches

#

I.e. if you chen skill for the 4th vuln

#

You can crush/breach then pop the combo

#

Without 'wasting' it

#

Sometimes you would let it expire anyway but its a bunch of things like that

#

Which lifeng p1 lets you now do

fossil pendant
#

it feels much more relevant in UM

#

because sometimes shit just happens

#

as opposed to more or less being able to just striking dummy all the bosses in the game rn

tight haven
#

yeah recrisis is fake ass content atp

#

except ruan yi to an extent

#

which kind of makes sense its supposed to be a farming stage

drifting quest
#

Im so hyped for future umbral now

tight haven
#

same

#

those stages were creative

drifting quest
#

Yeah they cooked

quasi quarry
tight haven
#

laev is unfortunately just the fucking best to ever do it

tight haven
#

god-fucking-damn that survivability passive is nuts

drifting quest
#

Laev kinda dumpsters all 3

#

But im fine with that

#

I tried other teams as well

tight haven
#

yeah she probably should be able to anyway

quasi quarry
tight haven
#

her dr+heal passive is just so good

fossil pendant
#

all this UM made me do is want more parry operators lol

drifting quest
#

If we get more umbral like this then

#

Defenders upscale

tight haven
#

and we're back to full 200%

#

i appreciate that they made trust so much easier to accumulate in endfield

#

as opposed to "leave your op in a cold room for 5 weeks"

fossil pendant
#

what do you even get at 200

#

I don't think I've bothered going past 100 yet besides the control room ops that get it naturally

tight haven
#

more voice lines

quasi quarry
tight haven
#

past 100% is just "if you like them"

#

but like its so piss easy to get 200% so why not

drifting quest
#

which is also nice

fossil pendant
#

yea I have to uncap my 30mil v4 stock bills somehow I guess

#

lol

drifting quest
quartz horizon
quasi quarry
#

hm alr

#

I'll probably keep the selector still

#

hope I get it through pulls

sudden lichen
#

Finally said goodbye to my last rite team, umbral agony was unclearable

tight haven
#

raising trust in og ak is just

#

miserable

tight haven
#

still is imo

sudden lichen
#

enemy erases cryo stacks every 5 seconds or so

quartz horizon
#

why? whats the mech

fossil pendant
#

I can't imagine it's fun on third stage yah

quartz horizon
#

oh

fossil pendant
#

lol

quartz horizon
#

just cryo?

fossil pendant
#

it generates heat stacks on itself over time

tight haven
#

isnt it just "use tt bskill whenever stacks are high"

sudden lichen
#

I switched to yvonne team and it became way easier, free solid

tight haven
#

for lr teams

sudden lichen
tight haven
quasi quarry
drifting quest
#

yeah cryo is pretty rough for the 3rd stage but not unplayable

quasi quarry
tight haven
quartz horizon
#

so i shouldnt worry?

tight haven
#

funny af

tight haven
#

tt solves the stage

fresh trench
#

i sleep now nini everyone

drifting quest
#

just dont treat it like typical lr content where you have to burst asap

#

and you're fine

quasi quarry
#

I was so excited when I saw it cause I had completely forgotten its addition in cn and I tried it in real time, but it's ridiculously slow

quartz horizon
tight haven
#

and theyre still not 200%

#

theyre absolutely useless

fossil pendant
#

UM is just asking you to break the mindset of every other gacha game time trial

#

its not a dps check so who cares if you play slow, just interact with the mechanic

#

which is nice

tight haven
#

mind you those ops were like 50-100%

drifting quest
#

its so good

#

genuinely cannot hype this umbral up enough

#

best endgame in the genre, imo

quasi quarry
#

regardless it's crap

tight haven
#

theyre just more places to decorate

#

i guess

dense widget
#

Some1 give me yvonne's skill priority please

#

Finally got enough for everything

quasi quarry
fossil pendant
#

yea we got how many standard ticket this patch

#

like 10 lmao

#

I'm still 178 away from standard selector

dense widget
tight haven
dense widget
#

(Spent 160 pulls on it)

dense widget
#

Isnt it like 15s cd too?

drifting quest
#

id expect it'll be a slow improvement to standard pull income

tight haven
#

its 19 at lv9

drifting quest
#

but 10/patch isnt too unreasonable

tight haven
#

18 at m3

#

if you care

dense widget
#

I'll think of it, thanks anyway

tight haven
#

ult >>>> anything else though

#

you can leave her bskill and cskill at lv9

quasi quarry
drifting quest
#

almost as high prio as ult

tight haven
#

what the fu

drifting quest
#

idk why i say apparently

smoky quarry
tight haven
#

@maygi

#

oh right

drifting quest
tight haven
#

fvck

quasi quarry
#

I hope we get more standard pulls from content for bigger patches

smoky quarry
drifting quest
#

yes

#

this is just from

#

basic spam + finisher

drifting quest
smoky quarry
#

there is no point to m3 batk, cause lava can't even use finisher half of the time

drifting quest
#

this is yvonne

#

no

tight haven
#

okay lemme watch her vid on it

#

that sounds pretty fucking funny if it actually does constitute that high of a ratio of her damage

smoky quarry
#

This is filler patch, next one will be better PerliCopium

#

1.1 isn't doing any good reputation for endfield though

quasi quarry
#

holy shit dude

fossil pendant
#

idt 1.1 is like

#

BAD

tight haven
#

yeah im almost done with the bp

fossil pendant
#

not spectacular though

#

same I'm 55 lol

smoky quarry
tight haven
#

i actually dgaf abt any updates until we get proper repeatable endgame a la cc/is

fossil pendant
#

I just wish there were more reasons to interact with factory beyond setting it up once per patch

tight haven
#

endfield is fun and any more of it i will welcome

fossil pendant
#

I genuinely enjoy it more than the combat lol

tight haven
#

same

daring dove
# drifting quest

Do you think it's optimal to play Yvonne over Tangtang outside her burst window though. I wonder who does more to control when not ulting Yvonne ultly.

drifting quest
#

should still be better yes

#

thanks to yvonne talent

#

id be shocked if it wasnt the case

daring dove
#

I maybe need to try it more on boss fights. I'm too used to using Tangtang all the time as she's way better for general content.

#

But in a boss fight Yvonne likely is the way then.

smoky quarry
#

How do I get solidifed 10 times?

inner garnet
#

Make a team with 1 operator, hang around the water enemies in wuling and intentionally get hit. Easiest is the big dudes at the end of the wuling city essence fight.

drifting quest
#

and proc it a ton

fossil pendant
#

solidified on self for the achievement I think

#

which yeah just get hit by the big blob enemies

smoky quarry
#

cryo status expires faster than dude can stack it

#

enemies are ultrapassive

drifting quest
#

oh

#

assumed they meant the bp mission

#

you can do it on the wuling city

#

essence farm

#

when there's the 2 of them at the end of it

smoky quarry
#

A lot of dailies today PerliDerp

#

Now I can finally dive into hell after 90 minutes break

daring dove
#

I'm upto 1.8m Tcreds now, maybe I went a little overboard prefarming for Rossi.

smoky quarry
#

does he know?

quasi quarry
#

man I dont mind the first umbral stage but it really emphasises how dogshit the game's lock on system is

drifting quest
#

i forgot that even existed

#

ive never used it

quasi quarry
daring dove
#

On PC it really doesn't bother me at all as I simply don't use it period.

#

Maybe on mobile it's more required.

near robin
#

It can be handy at times. My Yvonne CS keep prioritizing frozen enemies instead of what I'm facing in front

drifting quest
#

i can see why itd be useful

#

maybe ill rebind it to an easier button and try it

daring dove
#

Starting to approach 6500 ATK on Tangtang without slab. Still a bit more artificing to do as well. 108_yaehmm

#

Wonder if having an extra 700 ATK is worth the 60 BS damage bonus.

golden rapids
#

for who do I make gears first? LR? and what gears they use

daring dove
golden rapids
#

great, what gears lr use ?

daring dove
drifting quest
#

there's 2 ways to build lr

#

i dont care for lr so i dont know a ton

#

but its uge vs no uge

#

basically

outer ermine
#

i fuckin hate this mino ICANT its a moveset grind

drifting quest
#

which is better depends on the 4th slot of the team, but both builds work anyway

golden rapids
drifting quest
#

you can give iana's doc a read through

daring dove
#

This was her old best setup which I'm still using. However if not P4 I think you need ult gain on chest.

drifting quest
#

it alone would give more info than I know

golden rapids
drifting quest
#

it should be 1.1 updated

golden rapids
#

in pins here i found 1.0 version

drifting quest
#

links to the right version to me

#

did you change page to the last rite one

#

or just view the home page

golden rapids
#

let me check on pc

quasi quarry
#

why do the arsonists on the second stage take so long to stagger

#

my pog's breach runs out before I can get it

#

ok im gonna use smth else phys is ass for this

fossil pendant
#

thinking about picking up khrav and building ice bc I'm bored

#

how much of tangtang's improvement to the team is literally just because she does tangible personal damage

drifting quest
#

its a combination of personal damage, buff and qol

#

fast stack access, for example

glass birch
daring dove
#

Also Tangtang's "tangible personal damage" kinda undersells it a little considering she's argubly the best DPS in the game rn & she's supposed to be a support. 091_Run

fossil pendant
#

I mean yes but that is specifically something I don't care about

#

nothing in the game wants damage, I just want to not get cancer playing a character

glass birch
fossil pendant
#

I may pick her up without the sig, maybe

quasi quarry
daring dove
#

For a buff prospective it's ok, from an uptime prospective it's top tier.

#

Gilberta for example gives a much bigger buff, but it's uptime leaves a lot to be desired. Although in nuke rotations it's still pretty serviceable.

glass birch
#

True gil has a 25% uptime (5s duration/20s cooldown)

#

Ardelia's is 100% kekzu

fossil pendant
#

are you actually meant to use tangtang's bs to apply cryo beyond the stack you get for pulling in her whirlpools normally or is it just a you have the option to do this instead of waiting for another FS proc for rite's bs LookUp

daring dove
#

Tangtang's applies immedately in pretty much all content.

#

That's why I think it's one of the better buffs in the game rn.

glass birch
#

Why we talking about LR in mobbing content though? 3sChiakiHmm

#

Lr's pretty ass in mobbing content regardless. If you're comparing TT to ardelia for mobbing TT just takes care of mobbing anyways because of her sheer amount of aoe dmg

daring dove
#

I'm not simply point out that a buff that applies for literally everything & has borderline no trigger conditions is a lot better than a buff that has a laundry list of them. So yeah the values maybe lower but the amount of time you make use of it is 20x higher. 108_yaehmm

#

Hence why she's one of the better buffers rn.

glass birch
#

I dont think any buff/debuff atm has a laundry list to procc. Outside maybe Rossi's CS buff since she needs both vuln and affliction to get it. Outside that everyone else's buffs/debuffs have just a single requirement

#

But yeah

#

Up-time wise it's solid since its 100 SP to consume whirlpools; requires 200 SP to set it up though (baseline not accounting return), its decent imo

daring dove
#

I mean coming from Genshin where tapping E is all I needed to trigger a characters full buffing capabilities. For me most of the characters in the game rn have pretty horrible buffing requirements. But I kind of accepted that as a reality for early character value. I think as the game progresses things will get easier to trigger & buff value increases.

fossil pendant
#

I think the nature of how buffs work in the game right now makes it a lot more interesting to play ngl

#

like carrying endmin's crystal atk% increase into the next combo window

daring dove
#

I suppose so, I just put a lot of value in QoL so the less hoops I have to jump through to trigger characters buffing conditions the better for me.

fossil pendant
#

now I have no arsenal tickets OMEGALUL

#

oh is that a thing

#

mb

daring dove
#

All good, I think it's a bit ott personally but I don't make the rules.

shut cobalt
#

how much charge rate does xaihi and tangtang need?

drifting quest
#

depends on team and rot

shut cobalt
#

and im using this one as the rot since the pinned guide doesnt have it

drifting quest
#

i dont have the time right now to watch the video

#

but if the rot is typical which i cannot guarantee

#

er reqs will match those of the gear in iana doc

#

you'll need someone else to verify if the rot in the video is a typical one or a bad one

shut cobalt
#

hopefully its a good rotation?

daring dove
#

Hows everyone feeling about character buIlding resources now, as we're getting into the middle of 1.1 I'm starting to feel a lot less constained than at the start. Especially if you purchase battle pass.

#

It felt bad in 1.0, now resources are starting to feel ok, maybe a lot of that is the insane amount of sanity they have been giving out though.

solemn sandal
#

Guys I have question regarding Pog's ult

#

All it says was "Summons 4 Shield guards and 5 Steel Oath pts, and AFTER dealing status or pog cs, consumes 1 steel oath point to damage and recover SP"

If this is the case, isn't it better to;

Pog Ult, Lifeng ult, Lifeng&Chen BS, (4 status now, Decisive Assault activates, DA DOES NOT consume status), Pog BS, Lifeng CS, Chen Ult?

lyric latch
solemn sandal
#

I really enjoyed the Sanity Discount event

solemn sandal
drifting quest
#
  1. Are you P1 Lifeng because the rot doesnt work otherwise
  2. Better than what
solemn sandal
drifting quest
#

takes too long for what

solemn sandal
#

Can't I like do it with just one burst

drifting quest
#

i mean if its like protocol space farming sure

#

but you can kinda just dump w/e there

#

gilberta sig should be pretty skippable right Susge

#

considering stanza exists

#

I pulled to 60 for the dossier and she jumped me

#

not that I'm complaining

dense widget
#

😭

#

nvm you're just rich in everything

drifting quest
#

gilb sig is nice to have but its a premium buy

fossil pendant
#

it's between that and tt sig

daring dove
fossil pendant
#

I did not expect

#

that to happen

#

lol

daring dove
#

She doesn't have a good alternative. Gilberta does.

drifting quest
#

Tangtang sig is like the best sig in the game right now, in terms of gains

shut cobalt
honest hill
daring dove
honest hill
#

Ice team is basically complete w tt

#

i think

drifting quest
#

depends on definitions

daring dove
drifting quest
#

a premium vanguard option is missing, plus arguably a 'better' buffer than xaihi to finish it

honest hill
#

then it's 99% there

#

xaihi is alr so good

lyric latch
#

I am also awaiting a Cryo Vanguard

fossil pendant
#

I feel like there has to be a generalist vanguard not named akekuri in the works somewhere

honest hill
#

i don't think so

drifting quest
#

i wouldnt expect a generalist anytime soon but i would welcome it regardless

honest hill
#

every 6* vanguard that will come will prob be specific to a certain element or something

#

like how pog is for phys

shut cobalt
drifting quest
#

looks to be a rhodagn sandbagging rot

shut cobalt
drifting quest
#

does iana doc not have one for the tangtang team

honest hill
drifting quest
#

i thought there was one

drifting quest
shut cobalt
drifting quest
#

the rot should be very similar if not identical

#

just replacing perlica stuff for typical gilb stuff

shut cobalt
#

this is perlica's

drifting quest
#

looks more realistic at a glance

#

but again i dont care about last rite so i dont look at last rite tc

shut cobalt
#

but it shouldn't be the same as xaihi's gear is very different from gilberta to perlica

honest hill
#

for other teams

#

phys team cooks umbral stage 2 so easy

#

other teams struggle

drifting quest
#

perlica cannot

fossil pendant
#

cc has been infinitely more valuable than damage

drifting quest
#

so you have xaihi on xiranite when perlica

fossil pendant
#

in the current state of the game

honest hill
shut cobalt
drifting quest
#

on xiranite?

shut cobalt
honest hill
#

I hate how u really need CC for it

#

for that stage

daring dove
#

I wonder if Ice remains the strongest team in 1.2 or if the dynamic switches up towards a different element. I mean if Rossi has some silly modifier values on her skills it may not end up the strongest team in 1.1. But Rossi for me is still a complete unknowable if she'll be good or bad rn. I hope she's good just because we don't need another "potential" character we need another sure hit like Tangtang ideally. 108_yaehmm

#

Going to be interesting how things evolve.

drifting quest
#

either gilb stuff assumes precharged ult 1 rot

#

or the rot is different

#

again i dont look at lr tc

honest hill
shut cobalt
drifting quest
#

couldnt name anyone who has deep dived off the top of my head

shut cobalt
#

or maybe ping iana himself idk, since hes the one that made the guide

there's a bunch of lr speedrunners but they speedrun

i don't have gilberta tho 🙁

she cna solo trim medals tho

the enraged moveset is nice actually

didnt know it exist

low viper

cant dodge that i tried xD

and he spams it like 5 times in a row at the end

imo he is the hardest boss- for solo

low viper

yeah annoying af

also the shockwave kills teammate

shut cobalt

why does tangtang have to do final strike instead of last rite?

pure spoke

i guess thats all we can ask for

i picked up ZZZ to hold me off until next big content update

gonna try to do that one all F2P

honest hill
#

these devs need help

#

they don't even look at feedback

drifting quest
#

im a big fan of new umbral

#

i will continue to say this

#

they cooked good

#

hoping its a trend

#

but knowing the average player it will get toned down sadly

#

actually engaging mechanics that stop you from playing rotation simulator with your brain off

#

decent hp amounts that arent bloated

#

actually threatening enemy attacks

lyric latch
drifting quest
#

ive done all 3 with laev, mono phys and tangtang main dps

#

didnt change it up

#

but i do like that it does encourage alternative teambuilding

#

i also like that you are not required to

fossil pendant
#

tbh I think it's healthy for phys specifically to have to play to counter stuff

#

considering that usually it just ignores shit via stagger

drifting quest
#

thats all i did this umbral

lyric latch
quasi quarry
#

did any of you actually have a comfortable time with phys on the second stage the arsonists take like 10 years to stagger

drifting quest
#

i think i was at about 3m

#

but i have no hands

#

can go faster for sure

edgy crater
fossil pendant
#

idk if you can realistically call it comfortable because the whole point of the stage is that you can't perfect dodge

#

but it was fine

fossil pendant
#

it could use more adversarial design

#

I did it with lae first on my phone then phys when I got home

potent hornet
#

yea i just went through with Xai, LR, Yvonne, and TangTang. last set was a bit more challenging i think

summer flicker
#

since it only give the one who do final strike

drifting quest
#

im such a huge fan of this umbrals gimmicks

#

they're genuinely so well designed

#

whoever it is on hypergryphs team working on it

#

master chefs

fossil pendant
#

very much a breath of fresh air being asked to play the game more like a sentient person and less like a rotation macro

#

in this genre as a whole

drifting quest
#

yeah

#

i would happily call current umbral monument the best endgame of any gacha in the genre

#

in my opinion, naturally

does anyone have the history of arsenal exchange buyable 6* weapons? is this correct:

grand vision

clannibal

former finery
eminent repute
rapid ascent
clannibal

drifting quest
#

full until start of 1.2

#

spoiler tagged for ones not yet in rotation

(they came from datamines, validated by the same datamines being correct for rapid ascent and clannibal)

#

thanks, was hoping chivalric would come but saw clannibal again :/ i have like no good support weapons

drifting quest
#

3 reruns this patch sadly

#

quite a few weapons missing a first appearance

idle eagle
#

n valiants shit

drifting quest
#

lifengs second bis for now

#

id expect there's some metagaming to be had with potentially the male sankta being a physical support who also uses a polearm, to share valiant with

#

but that's ultimately pretty baseless speculation

#

after all Tangtang and Yvonne don't particularly share weapon choices, Rossi and Chen feels like more of a coincidence

fast ledge
#

Is the basic/standar hh will change ? Or add more operator *6 ?

drifting quest
#

3 in a row arsenal tickets today from credit shop PerliFumo

ocean turret
#

Perlithonk rossi, ember, akekuri, pogRossiCopium

drifting quest
#

certainly a team

bronze plume
drifting quest
#

i suppose

bronze plume
#

twitter is even funnier saw the post showing rossi from endfield official top comment was who does she replace in physical top awnser was chen

drifting quest
#

i mean yeah its either chen or lifeng

ocean turret
drifting quest
#

if you insist on using her

#

there's maybe an argument for lifeng these days

fierce nest
#

chen is forever, the only one who will replace chen is chen alter RossiCopium

bronze plume
#

the arguement is she has 2 arms lifeng doesnt shes clearly better

twilit quail
#

theyre gonna fuck up the numbers somehow

#

and playing into her mechanics is gonna not be worth it

edgy crater
twilit quail
#

is my read

edgy crater
#

inflated number?

drifting quest
#

yeah thats on par with other people

ocean turret
#

rossi have the same vul applier as chen. she just convert arts into 1 vuln.

#

chen is still better, since she doesnt need so many requirements

drifting quest
#

her vuln application should be worse than chens

ocean turret
#

true

drifting quest
#

on average

ocean turret
#

cause u need atleast 2 people to make reach her full potential

drifting quest
#

its just sp issues yes

edgy crater
drifting quest
#

we also dont know if rossi combo procs as soon as its cooldown ends, afaik

bronze plume
#

she needs

ocean turret
#

ange??

bronze plume
#

someone better in the heat category for her

#

therefore

drifting quest
#

or if it only procs when you apply

edgy crater
#

gilberat

bronze plume
#

wulfgard alter 1.3

ocean turret
#

yeah but gilberta still needs another operator to active her cs

twilit quail
#

gil shifts structure and lets you take another unit that is like

#

half a support basically

#

on top of being able to hit rossi conditionals

#

but it doesnt like free up the slot completely

ocean turret
#

true, and susceptibility

twilit quail
#

the one like really complete core

#

is rossi gil wulf

#

and then vuln spender in last slot

#

but I think they will just fuck up the numbers tuning

#

and something weird is going to be optimal

ocean turret
#

sp hungryRossiCopium

twilit quail
#

it's just da pan

#

in the last slot I think

fierce nest
#

pog RossiCopium

drifting quest
#

a lot of people seem to think its just not gonna be worth having a consumer

#

because the damage is so gimped

bronze plume
ocean turret
#

akekuri, pog will fix thatRossiCopium

twilit quail
#

it's just da pan

drifting quest
#

dapan is 0 sp spending

twilit quail
#

he spends 0

drifting quest
#

combo ult only

twilit quail
#

and if you give him 1 sp

#

he can do 2 crush per rotation

drifting quest
#

its just a case of if his damage share beats another buffer and trying to buff rossi arts damage more

twilit quail
#

but pog might be better

bronze plume
#

would it just be rossi spending sp in that team?

twilit quail
#

if giving rossi 52% atk is more worth

drifting quest
#

there's also like rossi shatter

twilit quail
#

rossi is like 35/65 phys/magic

drifting quest
#

but it looks a lot like tangtang shatter

bronze plume
#

magic

twilit quail
#

and it's honestly

drifting quest
#

in that you can just run chen

#

and do it better

drifting berry
#

Also how does Gilberta even fit on Rossi teams, like Gil can buff Rossi's damage but wouldn't all the arts susceptibility go to waste for the other operators? unless I got it wrong, idk

twilit quail
#

not impossible for ard to be usable

drifting quest
#

i think its not unrealistic to see gilb dropped too yeah

#

rossi ard wulf crusher

twilit quail
#

gil and wulf can hit all rossi conditionals

#

with 2 bars spent

#

it's not perfect compatibility

#

partially because rossi fire stack is only applied at end of ult which is cancer

#

but oh well

bronze plume
#

shes so cooked

twilit quail
#

is indicative of a lack of understanding

bronze plume
#

5morbillion% dmg numbers rossi plz

twilit quail
#

of what the unit is even doing

drifting berry
#

Never used physical

twilit quail
#

this unit isnt physical

drifting quest
#

there's a good chance that rossi being physical is cosmetic

#

and her arts damage share is most of her damage profile

gritty briar
#

okay just got home and did the umbrals

fresh trench
#

i heard second or third one is bad

gritty briar
#

i think i'm not doing the first or second stage with 4 stars, but they were pretty reasonable with a more normal team

ocean turret
drifting quest
#

its a skill check

#

if you can dodge

#

big fan of it

fresh trench
#

i heard something about solidification

drifting quest
#

actually engaging stages

gritty briar
#

3rd stage i did first try and then did it again with 4 star only on my second run

bronze plume
#

oh theres new umbrals

twilit quail
#

I think the new stages would be good if we like had more units in the game but we dont

drifting quest
#

im really hyped for future umbrals

#

following this one

edgy crater
twilit quail
#

well ember is just a physical unit

drifting quest
#

ember is cosmetic heat unit

#

yeah

#

rossi could be cosmetic physical in the same sense

#

i dont think it will be that extreme

fresh trench
twilit quail
#

physical share of dmg is considerable

#

for rossi

drifting quest
#

ember is a heat unit

#

who has like no heat interaction at all

gritty briar
#

fake heat character

twilit quail
#

so it's not insane at all for the team damage split

#

to actually be 50/50

#

or even more in physical favour

fresh trench
twilit quail
#

but if anyone is benched in the core

#

it would be wulf

drifting quest
#

all we have to go off is the devs saying ult is her biggest damage share

edgy crater
#

so dual dps setup for rossi?

ocean turret
drifting quest
#

which is very ambiguous as to what exactly it means

twilit quail
#

depends on number tuning

fresh trench
#

physical heat team when

drifting quest
#

there's dual dps in rossi + crusher
and there's dual dps in rossi + perlica

twilit quail
#

ember being heat at all is basically purely detrimental

bronze plume
#

when rossi is out but itll just be worth then a full heat or physical team

twilit quail
#

if she applied fire stack + vuln everyone would be soyjaking

#

but she doesnt

bronze plume
#

unl;ess they give rossi crack for her numbers

ocean turret
twilit quail
#

they have to

bronze plume
#

tbf with how much hype rossi had

#

she could be shit and still sell well

drifting quest
#

id prefer if rossi is mid and they continue to make kits like it

#

we dont need tangtang style powercreep every unit

fresh trench
#

chat im tired,now i finish my purpose i think i will make other silly build like chen ult gain cause she is only like what 70 energy with 15% discount 😭

#

but all ult gain come with int stats

#

she will explode

bronze plume
#

the only reason rossi has physical at all is so they can release 1 physical character each patch

ocean turret
#

rossi has so many team comps, you stop thinking whats the best teammates for her at this point

bronze plume
#

get consumed by the phys

ocean turret
#

i can even use rossi, chen, ake, pog

#

oh w8Perlithonk i dunno how to activate chen's cs without using her bs

#

scrap itRossiCopium

bronze plume
#

she has so many potential team comps

ocean turret
#

ember it is

bronze plume
#

doesnt make them all good

ocean turret
#

true

drifting quest
#

once you stop caring about what's optimal any team works

#

because of that tc has no reason to exist

bronze plume
#

well

#

obviously

drifting quest
#

hence why we mostly tend to look at just what is optimal

ocean turret
#

fortmaker better for akekuri or obj edge of ightess?

drifting quest
#

obj for heat or electric teams mostly
fortmaker for any other teams and some niche rotations for laev

#

ideally you grab thermite whenever it comes in shop, 1.2+

ocean turret
#

ohh okee

#

oke oke

fierce nest
#

what foodbuff to use? ginseng or kunst tube?

drifting quest
#

ginseng is almost always better than kunst

#

but ginseng vs jakubs is more contested

main nova
#

PerliWheeze Laev stuck with her heat mechanic, on other hand her mechanic is really effective with her current cheap team, befitting to 1.0 character.

#

Yvonne is more flexible tbh

#

cryo kinda have more variation currently

#

physical, still trying their best to say the least

drifting quest
#

2 of the 3 'meta' cryo teams basically do the same thing with different main dps units

#

and then 3 of the 4 slots are always the same in any optimal team, only the last is flex and the flex options while theoretically varied are practically narrow when considering optimal setups

#

not sure id call it more flexible than laev who is in a very similar slot

bronze plume
#

tldr there isnt actually much variation for any teams

#

simply due to lack of units

main nova
#

true

bronze plume
#

me when 1.1 of a gacha

ocean turret
#

We need more rossi-like teams. But i hope they don't all end up having gilberta as recommended teammate RossiCopium

drifting quest
#

id certainly be all for more kits like rossi's

#

but it depends on how she sells, most likely

#

if she flops financially then we likely just end up with kits aligned with the ones that do sell

ocean turret
#

Many people will definitely use her because of versatility

bronze plume
#

the problem with her versatility is shes just worse then pure heat or phys

#

unit and if we get units better suited to doing both while also doing stuff for rossis kit

#

therefore

I doubt they will introduce new 6* that can replace xiahi

summer flicker

or maybe they will

drifting quest

i mean yvonne would happily drop gilb for something like a premium vanguard or another cryo buffer

and xaihi is more replaceable than you think

frozen tide

#

Stone this man

drifting quest
#

i do rag on her a lot to be fair

compact bridge
#

I do agree gilb is replaceable on yvonne team, mainly because of her nature stack

manic mountain
#

I currently have a P4 Sundersteel for Chen, and I still have 1 Dark Tide weapon selector to get Glorious memory and only take it to P4, is this worth doing this or is the damage inc very negligible?

drifting quest
#

damage increase if you play into it is decently notable
but if you dont need the dps increase why bother

frozen tide
#

Gm is significant increase

compact bridge
#

But replacing gilberta is not as urgent as replacing akekuri or wulfgard for laeva lol

frozen tide
#

Tho for general use

#

Ss is fine

glass birch
#

You could build a pretty normal Heat Carry team for Rossi and be fine. Actually might end up being the go-to depending on modifiers for her phys damage.
Rossi pairs extremely well with Gilberta and wulf. Could throw in Perlica maybe as that last slot or Akekuri (Electrification vs. Link)

Another way to go about it is focusing on combo damage and use operators like Endmin/Dapan, ardelia, and pog like a psuedo phys team 3sChiakiHmm

frozen tide
#

Gm is ult loading

drifting quest
#

there's a lot of rossi stuff to test

#

since we get no numbers early

glass birch
#

yeah still kinda pissy we havent gotten any numbers yet

drifting quest
#

alas i am forced to skip her because i pulled tangtang

#

so i gotta bug other people to test it all

frozen tide
#

Against stuff you don't chen ult ss is probably a little better

I know Rossi doesn't need a healer since she can heal on her critPerlithonk
