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
I wonder what comes next after reaching the Aurora crown
Also heya been I while when I last come back here
does fangyi get more energy based on the electrification level which makes her places more spears?
from what I can tell the energy is when a sword deals damage, so it indirectly does scale on elec (2 max)
so it seems you may need the higher levels to accelrate it huh.
yes
her ult cost will probably be pretty high :/
that it will
endfield players when a striker has striker mechanics
honestly, the only thing that's probably is going to make pull her is if perlica's p4 that i spammed throughout the chat
Prime theorycrafting image
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
the @GRYPHLINE is genuinely worse than a reddit watermark
I honestly at a lost about Contingency Contract
Like what do they expect from us with like 30 operator
I honestly at a lost about Contigency Contract
Why would I do it if it rewards nothing of value?
It’s just gonna be abyssal monument but the modifiers are optional and stack
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!!
It will probably be easy to medium difficulty with rewards
And high difficulty for self imposed challenges and bragging rights
Maybe new medals as well, which would be nice
my gaming edge
For the really difficult stuff
More medals! Must flex on the people that find my profile via the friends list randomly!
Roughly around 200 ult energy cost. It's likely the base 10 per skill and additional 5 per shock since you get nearly 25% of her ult energy on cast when she has max swords down (9)
Contingency Contract have hype moment and aura
Haven't folks already mapped out that its 300 cost?
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
Its a bit meh, but im happy they listen to player feedback
We got a lot nice QoL and stuff coming
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
I don't really have a problem with that tbh
Although I only have 4 essence at 663 so far for main units
not everyone needs a 6/6/3 though
I don’t log in daily, like I skipped from maybe a couple of days into Yvonne banner to a couple of days before Rossi banner
So now I’m miles behind in sanity
majority only needs like 1/1/3 or 6/1/3 or somewhere in-between
Yeah like support units
What do i need perfect Thermite essence for
With units like Akekuri
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
I have Lae (which luckily doubles for Stanza), LR, TT and Fangyi prepared
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
Be thankful, other games have infinite sanity grind for their gear
Any theorycrafters thought about zhuang teams?
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.
why not arclight?
i don't think we'll find a better options
there's quite a lot of potential options
we're simply waiting for proper kit info to sort through them and see
fangyi perlica frontier bot stanza bot 
I didnt mean perlica on stanza
tangtang xaihi fangyi viberot
that gives fangyi the skill
buff
entirely speculative, unlikely to be good
you get the idea
Yeah
people are so desperate to viberot and feelscraft before release
but what to do with sp gen?
so we have garbage like this
nothing to do
we dont even know if she has sp issues yet
active BS spam, ofc has
we dont know if she has sp refund, if you have reason not to bskill as often, if natural gen is sufficient
etc etc
i think one of the next chars will be vang
at the very least if sp gen is required arclight certainly isnt the first one to go to fix it
Yknow, lr bs spam too and she has no sp issue
lr it's last rite?
yeah
but she doesn't have direct active spam in all rotations.
we don't know what her issues are if any
any speculation is purely that
and historically trying to speculate has been unproductive
yeah ofc, but some people make guesses based on showcase
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
Last Right doesn't always spam her skill, and she also has SP return. (Tangtang too)
pretc moment
Which is shuo's point
i loathe to call it tc because there's no actual tc being done
its prefeelscraft
Am just giving u example of chara that self sustain even tho she spam bs
true
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
well, maybe
anyway we'll see at release
Pretty much my entire point
just wait for numbers and go from there
first glances dont mean much
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.
I understand, I just want to keep myself busy.
I was told a while back its l2 by a dataminer
It could have changed or they could be wrong
Either waiting for one I asked recently to confirm or patch to go live to test
Vampire = blood
Blood comes from body
Body has fist
Fist is physical
New physical crusher
Blood is water too, so cryo
tangtang already covered that
omg new shatter unit
Then blood is red, so fire
vampire shatter premium
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
Cool keep all the husbando's on PHY teams so I don't have to even consider pulling them. 
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 🥀
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?
% first I think
today's survival training was nice to solo ember, finishers one shot
I'm lowkey a bit worried about Fangyi if I'm honest. She seems stuck to a mono-electric team & can't even enable herself like Leavatain can.
She better have some seriously high damage to make up for those shortfalls.
Do we have any thoughts on teams for her outside of the 2 shown in the reveal?
no
we are missing large amounts of her kit
so we cannot make any actually useful conclusions
We didn't see what any of her passives were did we? I just remember the BA, BS, CS and Ult
no passives, no additional skill/combo/ult effects, no weapon passive, no potentials, no ult cost, no combo cooldown, no multipliers, etc.
I felt like we got more for TangTang and Rossi when they were revealed.
Pure speculation would say the team I'm most confident in rn would be Fangyi / Pelica / Ardelia / Akekuri, but like Shuo said there's too much unknown about her right now. My general conclusion for the moment is she's in dire need of an electric version of Tangtang releasing. 
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
Yvonne and TangTang were made for each other lol.
why Akekuri?
i would not bat an eyelid if mifu is 1.3 and solves all of fangyi's issues
I'm guessing sp battery and link
link, thermite holder, potentially frontiers holder, sp chunk
Least terrible SP support in a team that needs a lot of SP.
too early to say if its seals ake or frontier ake, if ake is even run
this guy is still doomposting the same thing over and over again word for word
I was hoping for a team to finally use Arclight
do you have nothing better to do than engagement bait a discord server lmfao
you can only spend link on 1 skill
yes
otherwise i agree
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
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
i mean it’s pointless but what else are you gonna do lol
something productive
gryph insists on giving us absolutely nothing to talk about and hint at nothing
there is no other topic to discuss
Time to discuss AK
i mean that's a product of this server not tc itself
Whos rolling for Silverash
other tc communities are active without discussing fangyi
its just there are no theorycrafters in this server lol
other tc communities don’t have an orwellian off topic policy
Honeslty for some reason I'm getting Imbutator Lunae Dan Heng(the OG one) vibes from her.
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
150 pulls day 1 and a cope
hopefully i finish early, but if I have to go deep i spark skalter at least
I hope I get some units Im missing
I didnt actually count the number of pulls i have
best case i off rate wisadel so i can finally stop doing wisadel starts in is6
However much this is I hope this is enough to get me something nice
you've got way more than me lmao
I’ve never spent those Origeos outside of skins
im at like 40k orundum, 120 or so OP and then cert buyout for the 38 or so regularp ulls
I might now tho
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
a lot of nice skins this patch, ill consider grabbing a few if I get sash and pram early
the normal advice, yes
give it several days, if not a week or two and check in
you have 35 whole days for tc to settle
If we say the longer you delay the better
Best to pull on the rerun banners xd
I got TangTang really early and I skipped Rossi so I have like 47k obs.
Highest pull efficiency
not if the rerun banners are as terrible as this one lmao
Best advice would be to not even pull for her until we see what characters are revealed in 1.3. But lets be honest most of us including myself will anyway. 
It’s not terrible at all
it steals an arsenal pull from u
She doesnt really have an issue enabling herself outside not being able to self-proc her CS outside of ult. Her BS still generates 1 sword when it doesnt consume electrification
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
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
No it doesn’t?
You know selectors give arsenals right
we dont know if it does or doesnt
the free selector we got for a standard unit didnt give any arsenal tokens
this one might
the selector we have does not give arsenal
we dont know
Huh
idk why it would be any different
That’s news to me
id like to assume this one will
Anyways average pull per target 6 star is way cheaper than normal banner
but we dont know because it isnt out
Why are people talking about selectors are we getting another one. 
Like way way cheaper
rerun banner spark is a selector
From the rerun banners
120 will be a selector
Instead of a pity
Ah, so we can pick any of the 4 at that point?
A selector is better than a pity any day
yeah
basically paying 120 pull for 1 selector
its contingent on not having bad luck
its worse for chasing a specific rate up
before the endless debates of backpulling
laev p1 is good anyway so you can cope
Let’s just say you’re not gonna want to win the 50/50 at like 110 pulls
if you miss you still hit
i’m happy with anyone but pog if i fail
his potentials blow
Back pulling is a lot less relevant right now when these units really just released not that long ago
i won the 5050 at 112 pulls on laeva banner
That's a nice system indeed, considering the only potential I'm missing in the entire game right now is 1 Pog potential that could definitely tempt me to hit that banner up if Fangyi banner doesn't deliver him. 
naturally but there is still argument for backpulling being bad
see the huge amounts of people insistent on comparing fangyi to laev
Now imagine if you have a selector at 120 instead to pick Gilberta
It’s just better than the normal banner by a mile
or i could just pick at the start and get the bond quota and tokens anyway
Pick at the start?
like other games
Huh
choose an op to get the 50% rate up
You mean a normal rerun banners
Nah man that would just mean the normal banner coming back
And the pity system
I’ll take the spark
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
coping for the 1% ig
the main issue is that people will take an arguably niche situation and make it seem like the banner is amazing as a result
It is not 1%
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. 
It is not niche either
for example?
private subservers
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
this guy shuo is in like 7 diff tc servers bro
a lot of the ones im in specifically dont invite new people
i join a random server and he’s in there chatting
im in this one, guobas, maygis and prydwen
for public spaces
i dont know if more exist
Did OG Ark knights have a standard banner like this game btw?
then there's i think 8 or 9 group chat subservers im in
no
you’ve gotta get tired of it bruh
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
sadly
mb mrpokke
pulling 60 pull on a single op just to be spook on the next banner 
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
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. 
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
My opinion is that all gacha banners are baits so I choose the ones that can give me the best ones
a valid take
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
not a single person is pulling on that banner for laev
It’s not a marginal improvement and it’s actually quite massive
you have electric laev running alongside her
Sure but now I have the option of chilling and rolling for Rossi and Fangyi at the same time
Instead of rolling for Fangyi
I want laev 😭
Problem with this game is there's literally no way of knowing which characters will be the good ones ahead of time. Even on release we're largely speculating on future potential. Only characters I'd say are close to safe pickups right now are Tangtang & Gilberta. 
Rolling on reroll banners is the best way to only roll on good banners too yes
Power of hindsight is OP
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
Yea that will be the risk
If enough people complain that the rerun banner is trash they might just not do it again
thatd be funni
Even though statistically it’s probably one of the more insane ways to do reruns
it’s better if you want multiple sure
Normies will dictate whether something feels bad or not and that’s all that matters
ive already seen a ton of people advising people to skip banners and only pull on JO from now on
actually insane take
but they pit one good op with a not good op and everyone only ever wants one of them
Congrats you have the power of free will
What is JO?
If a banner isn’t good for you don’t pull
Joint Op
name of the similar (but not the same) banner type in original arknights
Combined banners are called Joint Ops in Arknights
They only allow certain operators to be pulled
No spooks
Ah fair, I'm guessing they where only ever re-run characters as well?
example standard and kernel banners too while im at it
You had to take 50/50 life first time around?
My hope is they just run it by sequence
So the next one is possibly Yvonne TangTang and maybe Lastrite as standard unit
Which is also an insane banner
And then Rossi Fangyi
They run them alongside harder endgame modes and usually (but not always) have more meta units in them
or well, no sanity cost combat events i should say
The full Cryo squad Joint op banners would be hilarious for new players
current one is a coop event
Roll 1 banner for full meta Cryo team
and then hool is not a good unit
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
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
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...
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
my conspiracy theory for JO banners is they choose the ops to make it 50/50 for as many players as possible
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
there's been JO in the past that are generally speaking 4/4 hits
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.
maybe I'm unlucky lol
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
just w8 for selection on kernel n buy her lol
Yeah, the other side of the argument is when a character first releasses they're usually the strongest they'll ever be within a given meta. An their value usually always diminishes over time. Well outside of them getting their planned support / extension units.
backpulling is historically not great for these type of gacha
you'd hope endfield is different in that respect
but you never know
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
CC could easily be single target
if its base + rotating sites too then it'd be both
The single target CCs will probably be considered the easy ones
i agree that single target chars are not good but i don’t think cc is part of this
As in easy/hard CCs as a whole
I mean, she's pretty flexible. So she'll find her way into a lot of teams. I don't think she'll age horribly to be honest. I do think she's not as safe as characters like Tangtang & Gilberta of course. 
single target is already pretty much trim-exclusive
Like CC1 being piss easy cus Nefa is the boss
you’ll never see last rite in the open world
But for a character you can throw into any team Rossi is pretty good.
And then CC2 having like 5 worms
would be really funny if rhodagn is cc boss
i think her bridge between arts and phys gives her some longevity idk
Pretty good at dealing damage to a single target
That’s all she has
Laev will probably age better than Rossi
I dunno about that one, that's certainly a hot take. 
Not that I mind people having them.
just you wait until 2.8 when ardashir comes out and he’s heat phys
I dont think either will age well because the new units they want to sell will take over
Powercreep comes for everyone
Aging well can very well be relevant in getting risk 18
supports have a better chance of aging than anyone else i think
Rossi might be a case of this unit can’t even be used for risk 18 because you need to focus on AoE
We have 1 support and she's not set up to age amazingly
inb4 r18 solo catcher
So hard to say
wym
Gilb has a ton of issues that just arent real issues this early on
I mean I think the power creep we've seen so far as been faster than I seen in the early versions of Genshin to be honest. Nowhere near as bad as the later version though. 
That said it could of just been early 1.0 stuff lacking.
I havent seen any powercreep in ef yet myself so idk
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
such as?
This still assumes aoe will become a hard requirement
is it the nature inflictions? the vuln?
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
Tangtang felt really overtuned in my prospective & Rossi felt like a better less restricted Yvonne to me. But being better than Yvonne wasn't exactly a high bar. Gilberta is a similar level to Rossi / Tangtang though. 
She certainly wont be falling off anytime soon
Dps isn’t all there is if we’re going to be looking at risk tags
Ultimately this is just fangyi discussions mark 2
Speculating on stuff we havent seen
Good for ragebaiting not much else
not yet, wheres the rissk list
Speculating on what is possible is nice I would argue
Situations where units can shine and won’t shine
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
There’s nothing wrong with speculating on possible risk tags and trying to value units beforehand to prepare for it
Even CC1 risk tags won’t be the same as CC2
I mean you don't really need to control Rossi either, I usually play Tangtang in Rossi team to resolve the problem. But that isn't an option for all her teams granted.
A) encourages poor practice
B) mostly starts pointless arguments
C) makes actual tc harder to do when we are pushed down rabbit holes that go nowhere, delaying actually relevant tc on launch
D) promotes a vibe of feelscrafting that just brings the state of the channel down
im not stopping anyone who wants to
TangTang is probably one of the strongest units to me
Rossi ain’t up there beside her though
doesnt mean i dont like it, nor do many others who tc
(part of the reason they all left)
quite
Devalue from what else are we actually doing here
There has never been real tc for a day I’ve lurked
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
there’s real tc when content drops
and then we finish the content and that’s it
2 days of real shit before whatever else happens
there's a saying i forget
something about refusing to clean because it's already dirty
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
Anyways I stand on the side of speculating on possible scenarios where units can and won’t shine being important
there's plenty to do
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
idk where you get the idea that there's nothing to tc from
its the culture that speculation fosters
what else is there
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
there's some people working on super extended rot stuff
One shot Rhodagn faster
and then there's the usual speedrun optimising stuff
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
active mods are for sure not the issue
But yea speculating about scenarios where a unit can and won’t shine is basically TCing pull value 
lack of mods is a huge issue
maybe if a tcer was mod but otherwise it’d be even worse
but also like i would not expect anything to change
TC doesn’t even necessarily need to be about combat
What if I went into the math about pulling on the rerun banner
its beaurcracy stuff from hg thats the main issue, from what i know
in terms of moderation
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.
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
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
People who are against speculation are in essence anti-theorycrafting in my opinion.
if a tc channel gets a mod it needs to be a tcer
I think that also counts at TC
an outsider modding a tc channel is terrible
yeah i was only listing purely combat stuff but dijiang, factory and a ton of other misc stuff is all also tc
too bad the only people who tc and wanted to mod applied and got rejected
dijiang and factory bros are having a good time in #aic-factory still yeah
I also even had that stat for Arsenal ticket income from credit shop
because there’s real stuff to optimize there
Which was 1200 per month
Assuming you min max everything
On avg ofc
Then they also buffed Oros from credit shop recently
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
life
bully hg to release it early
yeah, need to know the risk list 
Any idea if new char is good?
no
i mean, she’s zhuang fangyi so probably
but we only have half a kit and no numbers
so no further details
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
Who actually wants to mod. 
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 
yeah lmao
By telling you they already breached their NDA
Time for HG to track em down
Gg
Anyway they should just give me mod powers so I can ban Levi 
does anyone know the stats of the Xiranflow piece they showed in the Special Program?
only the kit
I didn’t realise we already got info on anything
in the gear qol section
we do get a glimpse of it
they show off one of the kits and the set effect
will int + bs up
its in chinese but easily translated
was there presets
What’s the set effect
id have to find the post for the exact wording
Share with the class please 
I'll ban @outer ermine as well if anyone is ever stupid enough to give me mod powers. 
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
thatd be nice i can stop being lazy to find a good dc
From this guy
not a great post for tc but a convenient graphic
My guess is she will want 3pc of this plus Slab
Cus she has will main stat
And it’s Slab

depends on uge req
Yep
and if other pieces have uge
But my fears always come true so it’s gonna be slab
Even if they drop the set
And go double slab

Double slab and uge chest and gloves if need be
xiranflow set + slab 

most likely
If xiranflow set can’t use slab then we will drop xiranflow set and use slabs
wow is that xiranite butterfly knife from cs2???
It was that or Oblivion gaming
Secondary effect is pretty mid, +15% DMG per art reaction consumed. 10% ATK is nice though. 
Oblivion should still be decent
i still think oblivion will be her top 3 pick
Considering all the arts dmg buffs
Yh. So it's a big loss in atk
But u have big multipliers from the middle stat and skill
Also slab
okay were talking a very low bar then
Can maybe make up for it
For top3
the competition is sig, bp, oblivion right? what else could be good lol
Monaihe as a stat stick
There’s no competition
It’s like winning a race with 3 people by coming 3rd
If it’s worse than BP p0 there’s just zero reason to use Oblivion on her
Fangyi is very likely to be a slab character I guess. 
The Slab merchant
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. 
Need to math how much attack she will have with 2 slabs

Why is everything slab
Do we know her secondary attribute?
Int
I'mma try an just max her for the most part on day one. Although I'll only have 102 artificing materials on-hand. 
this is known or speculation?
Seeing how the xiranflow set is basically hers
Has will main stat, int sub stat
Its safe to say shes int secondary
There could be more set pieces
How do you know?
They showed it?
live stream

You mean that's all they showed
People dont watch shit
will int is clearly for ardelia wym 
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
int secondary for lore reasons ✌️
Wdym show up in the gear menu?
🤔
They showed ziranfloe set has only 3 pieces;
Chest, gloves, kit
But only kit stats were shown
This
Show up but crossed
If there were more
Maybe there will in fiture
But no on release
I won 
Where are your discs 
Thats not mine
I stole a random pic off of internet..
Don't you have a redeemer seal?

So close to greatness sigh
What
I'm on essence 50 of no zfy match 
isnt that for the bp one?
Still no luck hu, just keep saving up hopefully it drops before she releases an you can just dump all the essences into it then. 
BP one should have electric or smth
Instead of attack
oh ic
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
dang, dedicated
Yeah I have been saving my selector in-case I ever get massively unlucky myself. Hoping to have my essence 5/6/3 tomorrow. 
But yea people said the selector was useless
Turns out edge case scenarios are indeed edge case
And do happen

I used the selector suboptimally for TT for my own morale
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
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. 
valley crate still gives wuling essences lol
there’s no exclusives
need to hold on to the completionist demo
you can get laeva sig from it or whatever
38x6=228
I’m currently 228 essences deep in trying to find Will Attack Suppression 1/1/1
You can't get Leavatain's essence in Valley 4
Oh yea imagine getting into this scenario but using WuLing tickets
It’ll be hilarious
The selector is so important to have on hand 
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. 
this can't be right..(1-1/24)^228 ??
?
is there 24 possibilities?
1/3 attribute 1/8 3rd stat no?
0.06% chance
oh yeah there are 8 3rd stats, huh
just think of it like you pulled an early char in genshin
probability of missing 228 times is (1-p)^228
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
and we have the item that gives a perfect essence for free
It’s just a good place to farm up essences right now too
because essence is always useful
I spam farm essences to get fodder to level other weapons in the future
it's the JO agenda
wtf else are you gonna use sanity for
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. 
farming an essence you want vro
Right now you have to be really careful with wulling stock bills.
I already have essences for every weapon I want
eh even with a badly build aic you can buy all artificing mats
Except Fangyis
level your thermite or whatever in hopes of future actually useful damaging vanguard
W investment
Meanwhile i spend over 600 sanity and only got 6 will stat essences. And none of them were for any of her weapons 
just pray thermite doesn’t get powercrept by then
I have about 25 perfect essences all for 6* weapons. I haven't bothered with 5* stuff.
you have 25 663 essences?
Naw pefect match I have about 5 - 6/6/3.
An quite a few close to that.
600 sanity is cute @hardy rose
💀
Oof
Just damn
Perfect essence for me is 3/3 match, maxed out essence is 6/6/3 
3/3 matches are way too plentiful and common to be called perfect

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)
don’t use selector until you at least fully farmed fodder
never know what can happen
Icba
I’m not sure what other weapon I’m gonna level right now
It's there for reason. If i don't use it, I'll horde it
bro ur gonna have to farm it anyway 
deto unit maybe? oblivion? jet? idk
isn't that an argument to never use the selector
That's what happened with all the weapon selector chests they gave us
any of the main attribute things are probably good
I didn't use em until recently
well don’t use it if you don’t need it
levi might need it
don’t be like levi
Given the choice I’d rather use it on a WuLing essence or a future region essence
To save on the region currency

convincing arknights players to not hoard is probably a losing battle 
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
well i guess no reason to use it until you actually have fangyi and her wep
It’s when there are no other essences to farm for when it feels boring
Cus you’re just grinding
only essence grind worth doing is getting 1000 of them
speculatively farm for one of every essence
That’s why I wanted to farm essence of every single weapon
Oh i don't play ak. But i hoard in games regardless

Is it time to shill Arknights
I love ak, but no lol
Imagine downloading a single player game with 7 years of content for free which you can play at your own convenience with very in depth world building 
I say this as someone who quit for 4 years and went back and have an infinite backlog
Cus they release content faster than I finish them
Lvl78 2020 gamer
(This is considered low investment for a lot of people but I think I sunk hundreds of hours)
Maybe thousands idk actually
hundreds more likely
i dont think i even have 1000 hours in the game yet and im level 120
still shook by level 78
yeah was gonna say, surprised it ain't 120 yet
My DBD has 1000 hours so that shocked me
did they ever uncap that
120's been the cap since I started
I uh
Just don’t play as much as some I guess
I haven’t been around for 4 years
Wasn’t lying
I redownloaded AK once I saw M3
M3 is in ak as well?
Yep
also day1 player, played for 4 years, then 2 month hiatus, played another 6 months, then haven't returned in 2ish years
m3 ak design >>> m3 endfield design

We have no idea why it’s even different to begin with
There’s so much to learn
Me hoping for a fiona 4* or 5* this year 
kalcification
It might not even be the same person for all we know shrug
Maybe M3 has sacophoclonejustsu
Huh?
arknights lore stuff, don't worry about it lol
Ok
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. 
I have no problem with 3 6* in one patch
ofc not
I only think they did triple 6* was because of the gacha system losing to two other char
what if they continue to have only 1 6* every patch from now on tho
no they'll alternate between 2 and 1
like every other gacha has done
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.
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
if the gacha system wasn't losing to 2 limited char then we wouldn't have triple 6* patch
1.0 characters always fell off tho
Even compared to Leavatain & Gilberta Yvonne feels lacking. But like I said small sample size so doesn't mean much.
idk i dont have yv
Yvonne is mid
no one likes to say it
but she gets wheelchaired by her teammates
she can't do anything by herself
maybe it is hg fault cause
Some main dps can inflict something to tricker their own kit which feel better than operator who dont
agendaposting will continue until morale improves
they showed it on stream
oh yeah did u see xiranflow set
my message failed to send
it seems made for arclight
and maybe wulgard
wulf
What's wrong with Yvonne?
a few small issues but nothing particularly huge
noo
I think it's this
"grant 10% attack. Upon consuming a reaction, gain a stack for 25s, each stack grant 15% bonus dmg"
Ok👍🏾
To themselves?
think it's for the team
This changes everything
it should be a self buff
they showed it on the stream but it was in chinese
its tailor made for her
rip arclight and wulfgard
If it self buff then nothing change much
ye rip
hm maybe arclight good w her ult she can give multiple enemies electrification which zhuang will consume

but single target meh
Dead chat 

tc is always either dead or feelscrafting
find another server if it bothers you i guess

the cope is that they only ever want to do mod recruitments in batches or something and once current trainees are promoted or whatnot they take on new trainees who are invested in tc
but cope is cope
Brb feelcrafting alesh zfy
Is prob real
F2P comp
don't think we will get new mods we got plenty of em!
Arclight my fraud
the cope remains
Where'd opal even go anyway
Yeah sadly
i was already planning to quit if 1.2 was rough so i dont lose much to dip out anyway
give it a few more days to a week i guess

That's fair
product of the environment fostered
there's not much reason to interact with tc as the average user
game is certainly not hard
quality here is especially down too and other servers seem to be getting more active
so alternatives exist now


We fuckin love gambling
do it 
I'm basically guaranteed to get dossier because zhuang
Fund me 
Whel
I hope you 10 pull zfy
i wish i were rich enough
wow ty
Weapon banner
no 
Yeah i forgot ur so poor hmph
Yes
Ok whel
Ok whel

wrong server and channel brotein shake
Wrong fuckin year but anyway 
i have p3 shu so cant be salted 
no
Yes

It begins, i guess
so i am really hoping the new CC mode won't just be the "hope you pulled the new character!" mode
wgat is that
the beginning duh
CR doc
so true
replacement for iana's now that they're probably done with endfield
what does cr mean other than crit rate
community resource
oh
wow that didn't last long
aren’t you also done with endfield bro
Damn so cooked
So iana is done w endfield?
if fangyi looked near impossible to tc for without owning and then there was another unit as well i would have quit tc
but neither are the case
no clue, havent seen them in a while
Maybe busy
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
there's a cc server
Oh
rip
im also not a cc
probably yes
rip
there's like morbika and the person they tc with a bit
and thats about it
but morbika got muted again
damn
so hard to say if they'll be around in future either
ProbablyTM

they posted that liduke art
ehh, i forsee the leavers coming back once the main story is actually complete
none of the people who quit have come back
they all just stick to subservers lol
main story certainly wouldnt change that

so many ppl on my friendlist quit
They can be lv 60
Then just stop playing

oh i thought we were still talking about the people who tc
i mean, the fact that there is only one doc pinned for the last 2 months in the TC channel was never a good sign
Yeah
no mods
and yet, people get banned
Is there another place I can go to see active theorycrafting or is this pretty much what we got
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
