Every single banner we see this from TangTang to Rossi

rugged vale
#

im not saying shes weak

#

shes probs op

icy remnant
#

Means she can stand to get hugely better over time

#

Same as Laev ig

#

Probably a good place to be for main dps units

#

Since they can pretty much be future proofed via future op releases

harsh slate
#

I wonder what comes next after reaching the Aurora crown

#

Also heya been I while when I last come back here

leaden mantle
#

does fangyi get more energy based on the electrification level which makes her places more spears?

drifting quest
#

from what I can tell the energy is when a sword deals damage, so it indirectly does scale on elec (2 max)

leaden mantle
drifting quest
#

yes

leaden mantle
drifting quest
#

that it will

normal tangle

endfield players when a striker has striker mechanics

#

if perlica's CS on her p4 can give her this, it would be decent qol for fangyi ult gain/sp recovery when the combo skill is off cooldown. Considering its so easy to trigger.

#

but i think i'm coping at this point

smoky quarry
thick terrace
#

I honestly at a lost about Contingency Contract

Like what do they expect from us with like 30 operator

smoky quarry
thorn shore
#

Or at least that’s the gist of it I’ve gotten from hearing OG arknights players talk abt it

#

So now instead of only having no perfect dodge or SP doesn’t naturally regen, you got both!!

urban plaza
#

Maybe new medals as well, which would be nice

smoky quarry
#

my gaming edge

urban plaza
#

For the really difficult stuff

thorn shore
#

More medals! Must flex on the people that find my profile via the friends list randomly!

glass birch
thick terrace
urban plaza
#

Haven't folks already mapped out that its 300 cost?

thorn shore
#

The only thing I hate abt it is they’re teasing us with one of the things that’s needed the most

#

And it’s not coming in 1.2

#

What the frick

urban plaza
#

Its a bit meh, but im happy they listen to player feedback

#

We got a lot nice QoL and stuff coming

thorn shore
#

Besides endgame only thing I really want them to look at is essence and t-cred grind

#

It’s what 5k sanity per 663 essence

#

Insane

urban plaza
#

I don't really have a problem with that tbh

Although I only have 4 essence at 663 so far for main units

glass birch
thorn shore
#

So now I’m miles behind in sanity

glass birch
#

majority only needs like 1/1/3 or 6/1/3 or somewhere in-between

urban plaza
#

Yeah like support units
What do i need perfect Thermite essence for
With units like Akekuri

thorn shore
#

Feels bad trying to get rossi and tangtang essence max

#

And eventually hopefully Yvonne’s

#

All I got rn is Laev max

#

And soon I’ll have fangyi’s

#

Pain in my bum

urban plaza
#

I have Lae (which luckily doubles for Stanza), LR, TT and Fangyi prepared

thorn shore
#

Yeah LR I’ll probably have to do too whenever I feel like playing her

#

Ember too she’s on my bucket list but very low priority

#

Just cause she’s hot

urban plaza
#

And so far thats enough for 2 good teams

#

Will see what units end up with Fangyi

compact bridge
torn pilot
#

Any theorycrafters thought about zhuang teams?

drifting quest
#

no because it all depends on her numbers

#

only stuff as far as perlica seems good, arclight does not, gilberta probably isnt, etc

#

could very easily change when we see her talents, weapon, other gear pieces, uge req, dam numbers, missing parts of kit, etc.

uncut schooner
#

why not arclight?

drifting quest
#

bunch of fundamental kit issues with arclight

#

and some anti synergy

uncut schooner
#

i don't think we'll find a better options

drifting quest
#

there's quite a lot of potential options

#

we're simply waiting for proper kit info to sort through them and see

rugged vale
#

fangyi perlica frontier bot stanza bot PerliFumo

torn pilot
#

Stanza won’t work with fangyi

#

Assuming she’s electro

rugged vale
#

I didnt mean perlica on stanza

drifting quest
#

ardelia, gilberta, xaihi etc

#

can still hold it

uncut schooner
#

xaihi?

#

for arts amp?

echo cove
#

Xaihi prolly not

drifting quest
#

tangtang xaihi fangyi viberot

#

that gives fangyi the skill

#

buff

#

entirely speculative, unlikely to be good

#

you get the idea

echo cove
#

Yeah

drifting quest
#

people are so desperate to viberot and feelscraft before release

uncut schooner
#

but what to do with sp gen?

drifting quest
#

so we have garbage like this

rugged vale
#

nothing to do

drifting quest
uncut schooner
#

active BS spam, ofc has

drifting quest
#

we dont know if she has sp refund, if you have reason not to bskill as often, if natural gen is sufficient

#

etc etc

uncut schooner
#

i think one of the next chars will be vang

drifting quest
#

at the very least if sp gen is required arclight certainly isnt the first one to go to fix it

echo cove
uncut schooner
#

lr it's last rite?

echo cove
#

Yep

#

U don't see any vanguard in lr team

uncut schooner
#

yeah

drifting quest
#

the main point is that

#

we do not know fangyi's entire kit

uncut schooner
drifting quest
#

we don't know what her issues are if any

#

any speculation is purely that

#

and historically trying to speculate has been unproductive

uncut schooner
drifting quest
#

yes, this always happens

#

it will continue to happen

#

the issue is that the one time people are right they will use it to validate their future bad takes, ignoring every time it has been wrong

#

you also get (dumb) people who will look at prerelease and take it as gospel and go waste resources on units who end up not being good

#

see all the various rossi teams, even tangtang stuff

uncut schooner
# echo cove Wut?

Last Right doesn't always spam her skill, and she also has SP return. (Tangtang too)

outer ermine
#

GilbSleep pretc moment

echo cove
#

Am talking abt the old lr pre tt

#

U almost always spam her bs

drifting quest
#

its prefeelscraft

echo cove
#

Am just giving u example of chara that self sustain even tho she spam bs

outer ermine
#

ICANT true

drifting quest
#

i still remember the pretc tt incident

#

hundreds of man hours into frame analysis, pixel analysis, etc into tt video

#

was like 0/8 of the guesses

#

might have been 1/8

uncut schooner
#

anyway we'll see at release

drifting quest
#

Pretty much my entire point

#

just wait for numbers and go from there

#

first glances dont mean much

uncut schooner
#

Oh, btw, question about Perlica's P4.
Is that the effect buff x1.33?
I just saw an opinion that it's specifically the second level of electrification.

uncut schooner
drifting quest
#

Either waiting for one I asked recently to confirm or patch to go live to test

normal tangle
#

enough feelscrafting fangyi, lets start tcing vampire guy

#

vibecrafting promax

drifting quest
normal tangle
#

no way

#

i should start going all in on phys team right now just for him

drifting quest
#

tangtang already covered that

echo cove
#

Phy cryo hybrid!?

normal tangle
#

omg new shatter unit

echo cove
#

Then blood is red, so fire

normal tangle
#

vampire shatter premium

echo cove
#

Fire mdps seem to have lifesteal too for sum reason

#

So

normal tangle
#

wait but he has dragon wings or whatever

#

so he will be essential for overworld mobility due to his special double dash being a flight

#

am i cooking lmk

echo cove
#

Atp, just let him be aether

daring dove
fossil pendant
#

anyone know if it's better to artifice the secondary% lines on xaihi first or the actual int stats on chest and whatnot

#

too lazy to do the math rn

#

I did the math it's the secondary lines 🥀

glass birch
#

PerliDerp I still find it funny how people thinking Fangyi will make Arclight usable. When they both fight over wanting to consume Electrification. Lol

#

Ake would still be a better choice overall for more sp on demand over gaining what? Like 20 SP every 200 SP spent?

warped sinew
#

today's survival training was nice to solo ember, finishers one shotPerliFumo

daring dove
#

She better have some seriously high damage to make up for those shortfalls.

night jackal
#

Do we have any thoughts on teams for her outside of the 2 shown in the reveal?

drifting quest
#

no

#

we are missing large amounts of her kit

#

so we cannot make any actually useful conclusions

night jackal
#

We didn't see what any of her passives were did we? I just remember the BA, BS, CS and Ult

drifting quest
#

no passives, no additional skill/combo/ult effects, no weapon passive, no potentials, no ult cost, no combo cooldown, no multipliers, etc.

night jackal
#

I felt like we got more for TangTang and Rossi when they were revealed.

daring dove
drifting quest
#

ive said it a bunch but her kit does scream of creating a problem to sell a solution

#

yvonne reeked of it and then tangtang came along

night jackal
#

Yvonne and TangTang were made for each other lol.

drifting quest
#

i would not bat an eyelid if mifu is 1.3 and solves all of fangyi's issues

night jackal
drifting quest
daring dove
drifting quest
#

too early to say if its seals ake or frontier ake, if ake is even run

normal tangle
night jackal
#

I was hoping for a team to finally use Arclight

normal tangle
#

do you have nothing better to do than engagement bait a discord server lmfao

drifting quest
#

its possible

#

im not a believer but it could happen

uncut schooner
drifting quest
#

yes

uncut schooner
#

otherwise i agree

night jackal
#

Like you guys have said though there are still many holes in her kit that we know nothing about so maybe just maybe she will work with more units than what we are thinking

drifting quest
#

if her 9 sword bskill damage is sufficient then link is very good
if its not then link is a minor bonus
if sp is needed earlier in the rot then it naturally becomes a lot more wasted

there's also the idea that if someone like rossi ends up on the team as a 4th slot that you can link off onto rossi ult or something

#

its pointless to speculate on all this so early, however

normal tangle
#

i mean it’s pointless but what else are you gonna do lol

drifting quest
#

something productive

normal tangle
#

gryph insists on giving us absolutely nothing to talk about and hint at nothing

#

there is no other topic to discuss

icy remnant
#

Time to discuss AK

drifting quest
#

i mean that's a product of this server not tc itself

icy remnant
#

Whos rolling for Silverash

drifting quest
#

other tc communities are active without discussing fangyi

#

its just there are no theorycrafters in this server lol

normal tangle
#

other tc communities don’t have an orwellian off topic policy

night jackal
#

Honeslty for some reason I'm getting Imbutator Lunae Dan Heng(the OG one) vibes from her.

icy remnant
#

There’s nothing much to even TC for anyways
Just wait till the CC risks come out and then we can actually try to min max risk

drifting quest
#

hopefully i finish early, but if I have to go deep i spark skalter at least

icy remnant
#

I hope I get some units Im missing

#

I didnt actually count the number of pulls i have

drifting quest
#

best case i off rate wisadel so i can finally stop doing wisadel starts in is6

icy remnant
#

However much this is I hope this is enough to get me something nice

drifting quest
#

you've got way more than me lmao

icy remnant
#

I’ve never spent those Origeos outside of skins

drifting quest
#

im at like 40k orundum, 120 or so OP and then cert buyout for the 38 or so regularp ulls

icy remnant
#

I might now tho

night jackal
#

At this point I'm just gonna wait till she is released to see if she is worth pulling for. My Avywenna team is built and performs fine. Was hoping for a good 6* electric dps though. Next I want a nature DPS

drifting quest
#

a lot of nice skins this patch, ill consider grabbing a few if I get sash and pram early

drifting quest
#

give it several days, if not a week or two and check in

normal tangle
#

you have 35 whole days for tc to settle

outer ermine
#

so sadge i miss the halloween skins w taya PerliWaaaaa

#

was gonna buy all of em

icy remnant
#

If we say the longer you delay the better
Best to pull on the rerun banners xd

night jackal
#

I got TangTang really early and I skipped Rossi so I have like 47k obs.

icy remnant
#

Highest pull efficiency

normal tangle
daring dove
icy remnant
normal tangle
#

it steals an arsenal pull from u

glass birch
drifting quest
#

i dont think there's a huge amount of skins i dont own that i really want, but there's definitely some

a lot of skins for limited units i dont own that i skipped for obvious reasons thatd be nice

icy remnant
#

Math it out yourself and you’ll realise it’s actually better than the normal banner in terms of average rolls per target 6 star assuming you want both limited units

icy remnant
#

You know selectors give arsenals right

drifting quest
normal tangle
#

?

#

no they don’t

drifting quest
#

the free selector we got for a standard unit didnt give any arsenal tokens

#

this one might

normal tangle
#

the selector we have does not give arsenal

drifting quest
#

we dont know

icy remnant
#

Huh

normal tangle
#

idk why it would be any different

icy remnant
#

That’s news to me

glass birch
#

Selectors give arsenal?

drifting quest
#

id like to assume this one will

icy remnant
#

Anyways average pull per target 6 star is way cheaper than normal banner

drifting quest
#

but we dont know because it isnt out

daring dove
#

Why are people talking about selectors are we getting another one. 108_yaehmm

icy remnant
#

Like way way cheaper

normal tangle
#

rerun banner spark is a selector

icy remnant
#

120 will be a selector

#

Instead of a pity

daring dove
icy remnant
#

A selector is better than a pity any day

normal tangle
#

yeah

edgy crater
#

basically paying 120 pull for 1 selector

drifting quest
#

its contingent on not having bad luck

#

its worse for chasing a specific rate up

#

before the endless debates of backpulling

normal tangle
#

laev p1 is good anyway so you can cope

icy remnant
#

Let’s just say you’re not gonna want to win the 50/50 at like 110 pulls

normal tangle
#

if you miss you still hit

#

i’m happy with anyone but pog if i fail

#

his potentials blow

icy remnant
normal tangle
daring dove
drifting quest
#

see the huge amounts of people insistent on comparing fangyi to laev

icy remnant
#

It’s just better than the normal banner by a mile

normal tangle
#

or i could just pick at the start and get the bond quota and tokens anyway

icy remnant
#

Pick at the start?

normal tangle
#

like other games

icy remnant
#

Huh

normal tangle
#

choose an op to get the 50% rate up

icy remnant
#

You mean a normal rerun banners

normal tangle
#

instead of choosing at the spark

#

yeah

icy remnant
#

Nah man that would just mean the normal banner coming back

#

And the pity system

#

I’ll take the spark

drifting quest
#

the argument is that if you lose to the unit you want at like 110 you can still get another at 120

#

its contingent on you losing to the unit you want, losing that deep and wanting multiple units

normal tangle
#

coping for the 1% ig

drifting quest
#

the main issue is that people will take an arguably niche situation and make it seem like the banner is amazing as a result

icy remnant
#

It is not 1%

daring dove
#

That's pretty cool though, giving Gilberta skippers a second chance at 100% Gilberta. Although I'd of preferred they suffer until version 1.6 at least. A_HuOmegaLOL

icy remnant
#

It is not niche either

normal tangle
#

i’d still rather get the bond quota and arsenal tokens

#

but whatever

uncut schooner
drifting quest
#

public tc got pushed away pretty early on

#

now its either know the right people to get in or deal with a public server like this

normal tangle
#

this guy shuo is in like 7 diff tc servers bro

drifting quest
#

a lot of the ones im in specifically dont invite new people

normal tangle
#

i join a random server and he’s in there chatting

drifting quest
#

im in this one, guobas, maygis and prydwen

#

for public spaces

#

i dont know if more exist

daring dove
#

Did OG Ark knights have a standard banner like this game btw?

drifting quest
#

then there's i think 8 or 9 group chat subservers im in

normal tangle
#

you’ve gotta get tired of it bruh

drifting quest
#

there's standard and limited pools
any new unit that isnt limited joins the standard pool

#

standard banner is 2 semi random units from the standard pool, rotating every 2 weeks

uncut schooner
edgy crater
#

pulling 60 pull on a single op just to be spook on the next banner ICANT

drifting quest
#

i bought bagpipe with certs way back when i started

#

and then off rated her

#

a week later

#

im still not p5

#

im like p4

daring dove
# drifting quest no

Ah shame I was hoping to get an idea if there's going to be a point of me saving me standard banner pulls once I get all standard banner characters P5. I guess the safe option is just to save because it might be like Genshin where new standard characters get added over time. 108_yaehmm

icy remnant
#

You know I’m kind of tired of trying to explain why a spark is better than a pity especially when you can play around with soft pity and do single rolls

#

You are free to feel that the reroll banner is trash

drifting quest
#

i dont think its trash

#

but i do think its bait

#

👍

icy remnant
#

My opinion is that all gacha banners are baits so I choose the ones that can give me the best ones

drifting quest
#

a valid take

icy remnant
#

Best rates to get most targetted 6 star units will be joint op banners with 2 6 stars you want

#

And it’s a lot better than pulling on initial banners In terms of pulls per average targetted 6 star

normal tangle
#

not a single person is pulling on that banner for laev

icy remnant
#

It’s not a marginal improvement and it’s actually quite massive

normal tangle
#

you have electric laev running alongside her

icy remnant
#

Sure but now I have the option of chilling and rolling for Rossi and Fangyi at the same time

#

Instead of rolling for Fangyi

vapid flame
daring dove
icy remnant
drifting quest
#

its going to be amusing seeing people skip current or future banners assuming we'll get a JO for them later and then JO never comes

icy remnant
#

Yea that will be the risk

#

If enough people complain that the rerun banner is trash they might just not do it again

outer ermine
#

thatd be funni

icy remnant
#

Even though statistically it’s probably one of the more insane ways to do reruns

normal tangle
#

it’s better if you want multiple sure

icy remnant
#

Normies will dictate whether something feels bad or not and that’s all that matters

drifting quest
#

ive already seen a ton of people advising people to skip banners and only pull on JO from now on

#

actually insane take

normal tangle
#

but they pit one good op with a not good op and everyone only ever wants one of them

icy remnant
daring dove
#

What is JO?

icy remnant
#

If a banner isn’t good for you don’t pull

drifting quest
#

Joint Op
name of the similar (but not the same) banner type in original arknights

icy remnant
#

They only allow certain operators to be pulled

#

No spooks

drifting quest
daring dove
#

Ah fair, I'm guessing they where only ever re-run characters as well?

drifting quest
#

example standard and kernel banners too while im at it

daring dove
#

You had to take 50/50 life first time around?

icy remnant
drifting quest
#

or well, no sanity cost combat events i should say

icy remnant
#

The full Cryo squad Joint op banners would be hilarious for new players

drifting quest
#

current one is a coop event

icy remnant
#

Roll 1 banner for full meta Cryo team

drifting quest
#

and then hool is not a good unit

icy remnant
#

But yea I am personally in the camp of being open to just rolling in joint ops if they say it’s gonna be a perma feature

#

And they give it some form of consistency

drifting quest
#

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Headhunting/Banners/2025

Gives a good idea of the various types of banner in AK and what might be ported to Endfield in time

Arknights Terra Wiki

A list of headhunting banners in the Global server of Arknights that were released from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.
Limited Operators of the primary rate-up are denoted by red borders, while those of the secondary rate-up are denoted by orange borders.
Operators available in the Store as part...

icy remnant
#

Like rerun in sequence

#

And its not like I can’t roll on normal banners anyways if I want a unit way more than anything else

vapid flame
#

my conspiracy theory for JO banners is they choose the ops to make it 50/50 for as many players as possible

icy remnant
#

If anything it gives me the option to save pulls for double banners to maximise target rate ups if I choose to do so

#

Overall it’s only a net positive

drifting quest
#

there's been JO in the past that are generally speaking 4/4 hits

daring dove
#

I mean I suppose it's like most gacha games the first time a character runs is usually the worse time to pick them up from a value prospective.

vapid flame
drifting quest
#

not always and if you own units then that goes down

#

but like this one is 4/4 hits really

#

maybe not at peak meta shill stuff

icy remnant
#

I’ll be waiting for Ines to come to cert shop

#

I give up on bagpipe

drifting quest
#

she's been and gone

#

prob a while before she's back

edgy crater
#

just w8 for selection on kernel n buy her lol

daring dove
drifting quest
#

backpulling is historically not great for these type of gacha

#

you'd hope endfield is different in that respect

#

but you never know

icy remnant
#

The worst thing you can do is rolling something that turns out to be trash

#

Like right now I’m betting Rossi ages horribly

#

Focusing on single target in a game which has CC coming soon

drifting quest
#

CC could easily be single target

icy remnant
#

Sure some

#

The harder ones will probably not be

drifting quest
#

if its base + rotating sites too then it'd be both

icy remnant
#

The single target CCs will probably be considered the easy ones

normal tangle
drifting quest
#

If I were betting id expect nefarith is the main site

#

Single target

icy remnant
#

As in easy/hard CCs as a whole

daring dove
normal tangle
#

single target is already pretty much trim-exclusive

icy remnant
#

Like CC1 being piss easy cus Nefa is the boss

normal tangle
#

you’ll never see last rite in the open world

daring dove
#

But for a character you can throw into any team Rossi is pretty good.

icy remnant
#

And then CC2 having like 5 worms

vapid flame
#

would be really funny if rhodagn is cc boss

normal tangle
icy remnant
#

That’s all she has

normal tangle
#

like any hybrid phys arts unit would like her

#

in theory

icy remnant
#

Laev will probably age better than Rossi

daring dove
#

Not that I mind people having them.

normal tangle
#

just you wait until 2.8 when ardashir comes out and he’s heat phys

icy remnant
#

Well assuming she can get uge

#

If she can’t Ult then gg

drifting quest
#

I dont think either will age well because the new units they want to sell will take over

#

Powercreep comes for everyone

icy remnant
#

Aging well can very well be relevant in getting risk 18

normal tangle
#

supports have a better chance of aging than anyone else i think

icy remnant
#

Rossi might be a case of this unit can’t even be used for risk 18 because you need to focus on AoE

drifting quest
#

We have 1 support and she's not set up to age amazingly

outer ermine
#

inb4 r18 solo catcher

drifting quest
#

So hard to say

normal tangle
#

wym

drifting quest
#

Gilb has a ton of issues that just arent real issues this early on

daring dove
#

That said it could of just been early 1.0 stuff lacking.

drifting quest
icy remnant
#

Like for risk 18 it’s fairly possible Laev can still be relevant by dodging uge tags even if it’s single target focused

#

But you can’t just make Rossi deal AoE damage

drifting quest
#

This still assumes aoe will become a hard requirement

normal tangle
#

is it the nature inflictions? the vuln?

drifting quest
# normal tangle such as?

Low uptime to higher downtime
Nature inflictions
Do nothing unit for a while in 0 ult start content
Pretty weak sig with a reliance on uge line
Slow anims for weaving in bskill or combo

daring dove
icy remnant
#

Yvonne’s benefit of being ranged

#

Will matter

drifting quest
#

She certainly wont be falling off anytime soon

icy remnant
#

Dps isn’t all there is if we’re going to be looking at risk tags

drifting quest
#

Ultimately this is just fangyi discussions mark 2

#

Speculating on stuff we havent seen

#

Good for ragebaiting not much else

edgy crater
icy remnant
#

Speculating on what is possible is nice I would argue
Situations where units can shine and won’t shine

normal tangle
#

i still don’t understand the issue you have with everything speculative

#

this version is over and hg gives us nothing about future versions

#

there is nothing else to do twin

icy remnant
#

There’s nothing wrong with speculating on possible risk tags and trying to value units beforehand to prepare for it

normal tangle
#

what do you want us to do? tc more shitty shatter teams?

#

combustion dps?

icy remnant
#

Even CC1 risk tags won’t be the same as CC2

daring dove
drifting quest
#

im not stopping anyone who wants to

icy remnant
drifting quest
#

doesnt mean i dont like it, nor do many others who tc

#

(part of the reason they all left)

tight haven
#

its fake tc

#

its fine to do here

#

but i think it devalues this channel

drifting quest
#

quite

icy remnant
#

Devalue from what else are we actually doing here

#

There has never been real tc for a day I’ve lurked

drifting quest
#

what minor amounts of tc still happen

#

but again most people who did it quit so if you take it from that approach who cares

normal tangle
#

and then we finish the content and that’s it

#

2 days of real shit before whatever else happens

drifting quest
#

there's a saying i forget

#

something about refusing to clean because it's already dirty

normal tangle
#

that is not what we’re doing though

#

you’re a gardener insisting on watering a very dead plant in soil with no nutrients

#

there is NOTHING to tc bro

icy remnant
#

Anyways I stand on the side of speculating on possible scenarios where units can and won’t shine being important

drifting quest
#

there's plenty to do

tight haven
#

yeah its fine but then dont be shocked when people dont engage in actual tc in this channel and just argue endlessly abt minutiae instead of testing things out

drifting quest
#

idk where you get the idea that there's nothing to tc from

tight haven
#

its the culture that speculation fosters

normal tangle
drifting quest
#

ive been testing new physical gear setups this past week personally

#

there's a ton of rossi stuff to do still

#

tangtang has a decent chunk still

#

yvonne and lr stuff is still being optimised

#

laev has new stuff to mess around with but that to a degree overlaps with rossi

#

i could rattle off another 10 if you want

normal tangle
#

optimize for what though

#

trims?

drifting quest
#

there's some people working on super extended rot stuff

icy remnant
#

One shot Rhodagn faster

drifting quest
#

and then there's the usual speedrun optimising stuff

vapid flame
#

even if there were consensus on what tc should be, no new pins or active mods makes it hard for good info to win..seems kinda doomed

normal tangle
#

active mods are for sure not the issue

icy remnant
#

But yea speculating about scenarios where a unit can and won’t shine is basically TCing pull value PerliStare

drifting quest
#

lack of mods is a huge issue

normal tangle
#

maybe if a tcer was mod but otherwise it’d be even worse

drifting quest
#

but also like i would not expect anything to change

icy remnant
#

TC doesn’t even necessarily need to be about combat
What if I went into the math about pulling on the rerun banner

drifting quest
#

its beaurcracy stuff from hg thats the main issue, from what i know

#

in terms of moderation

daring dove
#

I mean speculation is the foundation of theory crafting. If all we ever worked off where confirmed concepts & calcs other people had already done you'd get nowhere in making new discoveries. Sometimes it takes people to put forth new ideas to actually make progress. I think sometimes people like the "sheeting" which isn't really what theory crafting is. That's just an extension that helps finalise an argument. Can't see the forest for the trees when it comes to discovering good rotations & strong team concepts.

normal tangle
#

these mods have no idea what nuance is, they’ll see someone spewing bs in a tc channel, a tcer gets mad and corrects them, and the tcer will get warned for aggression

icy remnant
#

Or the other time I was talking about Arsenal ticket income with 65% op to weapon ratio and being patched up w BP and credit shop to near 1:1 if rolled every 2 banners

daring dove
#

People who are against speculation are in essence anti-theorycrafting in my opinion.

normal tangle
#

if a tc channel gets a mod it needs to be a tcer

icy remnant
#

I think that also counts at TC

normal tangle
#

an outsider modding a tc channel is terrible

drifting quest
drifting quest
normal tangle
#

dijiang and factory bros are having a good time in #aic-factory still yeah

icy remnant
#

I also even had that stat for Arsenal ticket income from credit shop

normal tangle
#

because there’s real stuff to optimize there

icy remnant
#

Which was 1200 per month

#

Assuming you min max everything

#

On avg ofc

#

Then they also buffed Oros from credit shop recently

drifting quest
#

1200 a month they say as i do my 4th reroll of the day and get 0 orundum 0 arsenal tickets for the 3rd day in a row

#

#

Any idea if new char is good?

drifting quest
#

no

normal tangle
#

i mean, she’s zhuang fangyi so probably

#

but we only have half a kit and no numbers

#

so no further details

icy remnant
#

Anyways I have something against the fact that we very highly overrate single target dps right now without knowing if AoE content will be prevalent

So I value units that can deal with both ST and AoE easily

#

That pretty much sums up what I feel about Rossi

#

And why I think Laev and TangTang will age pretty well cus they can handle both

daring dove
drifting quest
#

no spoilers

#

just in case hg gets back to them weeks to month(s) after their application lmao

#

(i doubt it happens)

#

but ndas are involved so im not going to get anyone into potential trouble

by namedropping

if they want to say it they can

Sign an NDA to work for free 091_Run

drifting quest

yeah lmao

icy remnant
#

Time for HG to track em down

#

Gg

daring dove
#

Anyway they should just give me mod powers so I can ban Levi W_HuHyperYAY

drifting quest
#

i mean they've all heard nothing from hg

#

no nda to sign

lyric latch
#

does anyone know the stats of the Xiranflow piece they showed in the Special Program?

drifting quest
#

only the kit

icy remnant
#

I didn’t realise we already got info on anything

drifting quest
#

in the gear qol section

edgy crater
#

we do get a glimpse of it

drifting quest
#

they show off one of the kits and the set effect

edgy crater
#

will int + bs up

drifting quest
#

its in chinese but easily translated

outer ermine

was there presets

icy remnant
#

What’s the set effect

drifting quest
#

id have to find the post for the exact wording

hardy rose

#

I'll ban @outer ermine as well if anyone is ever stupid enough to give me mod powers. A_HuOmegaLOL

10% atk
When wielder consumes arts reaction, gain 15% arts dmg for 25s, stacking 3 times

For a simple short

Basicaly, zhaungs set

That’s super specific wth

outer ermine
#

PerliWheeze thatd be nice i can stop being lazy to find a good dc

swift onyx
drifting quest
#

not a great post for tc but a convenient graphic

icy remnant
#

My guess is she will want 3pc of this plus Slab

#

Cus she has will main stat

#

And it’s Slab

drifting quest
#

depends on uge req

icy remnant
#

Yep

drifting quest
#

and if other pieces have uge

icy remnant
#

But my fears always come true so it’s gonna be slab

#

Even if they drop the set

#

And go double slab

vapid flame
icy remnant
#

Double slab and uge chest and gloves if need be

edgy crater
swift onyx
icy remnant
#

All I know is slab will be there

#

It’s like Thanos

edgy crater
#

most likely

icy remnant
#

If xiranflow set can’t use slab then we will drop xiranflow set and use slabs

edgy crater
#

u can

#

unless we got shitty xiranflow glove

swift onyx
#

Fuck slabs

#

They should remove them

icy remnant
#

I can’t believe they actually made a dps with Will main stat

#

With Slab in the game

smoky quarry

icy remnant
#

I thought it was gonna be Oblivion gaming

#

Sadge

#

But no we get Slab gaming

daring dove
# drifting quest

Secondary effect is pretty mid, +15% DMG per art reaction consumed. 10% ATK is nice though. 108_yaehmm

hardy rose
#

Oblivion should still be decent

smoky quarry
#

i still think oblivion will be her top 3 pick

hardy rose
#

Considering all the arts dmg buffs

icy remnant
#

Isn’t Oblivion Int main stat

#

Mm

hardy rose
#

Yh. So it's a big loss in atk

#

But u have big multipliers from the middle stat and skill

#

Also slab

icy remnant
#

okay were talking a very low bar then

hardy rose
#

Can maybe make up for it

icy remnant
#

For top3

vapid flame
#

the competition is sig, bp, oblivion right? what else could be good lol

hardy rose
#

Monaihe as a stat stick

icy remnant
#

There’s no competition
It’s like winning a race with 3 people by coming 3rd

hardy rose
#

Gives uge too and more will

#

4 people. But fair point

icy remnant
#

If it’s worse than BP p0 there’s just zero reason to use Oblivion on her

daring dove
#

Fangyi is very likely to be a slab character I guess. 108_yaehmm

icy remnant
#

Maybe we will see a double slab character

#

wtf is a set effect

daring dove
#

I reckon she'll hit over 7k ATK once fully artifced if she's getting 49% ATK from set effect + weapon & 1 slab. So she should have the basics to hit hard provided her kit isn't bad. 091_Run

icy remnant
swift onyx
#

Why is everything slabPerliWaaaaa

hardy rose
#

Do we know her secondary attribute?

swift onyx
#

Int

daring dove
vapid flame
swift onyx
#

Seeing how the xiranflow set is basically hers
Has will main stat, int sub stat
Its safe to say shes int secondary

hardy rose
#

There could be more set pieces

swift onyx
#

Theres not lol

#

Its that 1 kit, chest and gloves

hardy rose

How do you know?

swift onyx

You mean that's all they showed

hardy rose

There could be more

I watched the livestream

normal tangle

will int is clearly for ardelia wym goog

swift onyx

There isnt more
Do yk why?
If there was, it would still show up in the gear menu but crossed out like before
But it wasnt
I wonder why

vapid flame
#

int secondary for lore reasons ✌️

hardy rose
#

🤔

swift onyx
#

They showed ziranfloe set has only 3 pieces;
Chest, gloves, kit
But only kit stats were shown

swift onyx

If there were more

Maybe there will in fiture
But no on release

oh ic

icy remnant

I’m not worried about getting the 1/1/1

#

They gave us the selector for a reason

#

I’ll use it if I have to

#

I’m probably 200+ essences deep though

#

In trying to find one

vapid flame
#

dang, dedicated

daring dove
#

Yeah I have been saving my selector in-case I ever get massively unlucky myself. Hoping to have my essence 5/6/3 tomorrow. 108_yaehmm

icy remnant
#

But yea people said the selector was useless

#

Turns out edge case scenarios are indeed edge case

#

And do happen

vapid flame
#

I used the selector suboptimally for TT for my own morale

normal tangle
#

i hope progression event thingy gives coolant gel or whatever

#

something for the essences please

#

they keep giving us a bunch of progression stuff but essences are still by far the hardest thing to get

daring dove
#

For me I'm more concerned if I ever have to farm an essence I can only get in Wulling. I really don't want to be spending Wulling stock bills on essence tickets. E_PoliwhirlConcern

there’s no exclusives

you can get laeva sig from it or whatever

It’ll be hilarious

#

The selector is so important to have on hand PerliWheeze

daring dove
# normal tangle the selector

Ah that's cool, yeah I'll save it for the next wulling exclusive character then. Although by that time wulling stock bills may no longer be valuable we'll see. 108_yaehmm

is there 24 possibilities?

1/3 attribute 1/8 3rd stat no?

oh yeah there are 8 3rd stats, huh

normal tangle
vapid flame
#

probability of missing 228 times is (1-p)^228

icy remnant
#

I mean it’s not that big of a deal since there’s still time

#

I don’t even know if I’ll end up rolling Fangyi this banner

rugged vale
#

and we have the item that gives a perfect essence for free

icy remnant
#

It’s just a good place to farm up essences right now too

normal tangle
#

bro what 😭

#

why are we farming essence if we don’t plan to pull char

rugged vale
#

because essence is always useful

icy remnant
#

I spam farm essences to get fodder to level other weapons in the future

vapid flame
#

it's the JO agenda

rugged vale
#

wtf else are you gonna use sanity for

daring dove
#

I'm hoping 1.2 goes a long way to making Wulling stock bills more accessible. It'll be nice if we can increase artifice tokens to 100 a week as well. 091_Run

normal tangle
daring dove
#

Right now you have to be really careful with wulling stock bills.

icy remnant
#

I already have essences for every weapon I want

rugged vale

eh even with a badly build aic you can buy all artificing mats

icy remnant

Except Fangyis

level your thermite or whatever in hopes of future actually useful damaging vanguard

you have 25 663 essences?

An quite a few close to that.

icy remnant

oh so you have 5 perfect essences

daring dove
normal tangle
#

3/3 matches are way too plentiful and common to be called perfect

icy remnant
hardy rose
#

I've already deicded I'm using the selector for her weapon

#

I still wanna try and grab a perfect essence for monaihe and flickers in the mist (bp)

normal tangle
#

don’t use selector until you at least fully farmed fodder

#

never know what can happen

hardy rose
#

Icba

icy remnant
#

I’m not sure what other weapon I’m gonna level right now

hardy rose
#

It's there for reason. If i don't use it, I'll horde it

normal tangle
#

bro ur gonna have to farm it anyway bugsmoke

normal tangle
vapid flame
#

isn't that an argument to never use the selector

hardy rose
#

That's what happened with all the weapon selector chests they gave us

normal tangle
#

any of the main attribute things are probably good

hardy rose
#

I didn't use em until recently

normal tangle
#

levi might need it

#

don’t be like levi

icy remnant
#

Given the choice I’d rather use it on a WuLing essence or a future region essence

#

To save on the region currency

hardy rose
normal tangle
#

idk that seems kinda pointless to me

#

if you have use for it, use it

vapid flame
#

convincing arknights players to not hoard is probably a losing battle ChenCute

icy remnant
#

I like finding value in things I want to do
Like even when farming essences
Having a goal for an essence to farm for feels good

normal tangle
#

well i guess no reason to use it until you actually have fangyi and her wep

icy remnant
#

It’s when there are no other essences to farm for when it feels boring

#

Cus you’re just grinding

rugged vale
#

only essence grind worth doing is getting 1000 of them

vapid flame
#

speculatively farm for one of every essence

icy remnant

That’s why I wanted to farm essence of every single weapon

did they ever uncap that

120's been the cap since I started

Just don’t play as much as some I guess

Does anyone actually want another triple 6* patch btw, I'm personally hoping that was just a 1.0 thing. Hoping 1.3 is two 6*'s an a 5 star. 108_yaehmm

warped sorrel
honest hill
#

I only think they did triple 6* was because of the gacha system losing to two other char

warped sorrel
#

i heard an echo

honest hill
#

I misclicked

warped sorrel
#

what if they continue to have only 1 6* every patch from now on tho

honest hill
#

like every other gacha has done

daring dove
# warped sorrel I have no problem with 3 6* in one patch

I personally feel like there isn't enough focus on making the characters 6* characters as good as they could be when they're releasing 3 per patch. Yvonne really seems to fall off compared to the two earlier characters. Although I admit it's a very small sample size.

#

But yeah 2 per patch at max I think would be best.

warped sorrel
#

I suspect that they give us a full patch time to pull her
Just because a lot more people can have her eventually
So they can make hardcore content center around her

#

Which i would be fuck

honest hill
#

if the gacha system wasn't losing to 2 limited char then we wouldn't have triple 6* patch

warped sorrel
daring dove
warped sorrel

idk i dont have yv

What's wrong with Yvonne?

drifting quest
#

a few small issues but nothing particularly huge

warped sorrel
#

If that is the case
I can finally let my ake to rest

#

I will kill her

honest hill

I think it's this
"grant 10% attack. Upon consuming a reaction, gain a stack for 25s, each stack grant 15% bonus dmg"

for zhuang

its tailor made for her

if fangyi looked near impossible to tc for without owning and then there was another unit as well i would have quit tc

they had mentioned potentially quitting before so waiting to see if they come back

if they do depends if they plan to stay tc'ing and if they are if they if they plan to continue the doc

Maygi's server is the most active for theorycrafting stuff

it would also help when we have content to actually theory craft over. As is the game can almost be played blindfolded
