#[Vesti: Tactical Upgrade] New Unit Megathread
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
the higher it gets the easier
can't you just do if i like the character she's sss otherwise f
I agree but the new tier list is very mixed between A and S, and Im getting endless complaints
Wait for surface content to force everybody to make a whole new tier list 
And internally, we can never reach an agreement if something is A or S too

the only right way is to agree on the criteria
then work from there, otherwise nothing work
You can always try adding a confidence score. The higher it is, the more immovable the character is from their tier.
Then when people want to argue, just show them the character’s weak confidence score
S should be: high impact on ELE, regardless of usage in neutral
A should be: a usable alternative on Neutral but only ideally used with elemental advantage
it gets kinda convoluted once you take into account the nature of the unit (buffer, dps, healer...)
i mean that's what you and gaytrix should work on
No, it's Snake.
This would somewhat solve Dorothy being A.
so you and snake work on tier list and Gaytrix do the reviews ?
Idk Gatrix helps with other stuff
Like old unit reviews
Mostly
Misc guides
I mean everyone is on it with new reviews but he does those stuff more
Unless Im unavailable, in which case Gatrix usually takes over
well you guys shouldn't have this debate over how to grade something S/A
that should be at least clear
S should be: Units in this rank either have very high impact on ELE or strong Neutral usability/niches where they are irreplaceable.
A should be: Only ideally used with elemental advantage and may or may not be usable in Neutral as an alternative/replacement.
We were shortsighted.
And there were flaws with the new evaluation system.
Which we agreed on.
im short sighted
i read too much and now i have myopia
What's the verdict on these 3 bitches?
Skip + wishlist
I'm still on vesti cope for pvp
If i have been slowly setting up electric to be my element (Scarlet/Trina/Isabel/Arcana good rolls) are Emma/Eunwha decent investments for Ein?
they did last bond i am pretty sure.. so heres hoping 🙂
I thought 2 was the max..
Hacker fr fr
I've hit 3 rocks once
He was talking about 3 rocks in total
excuse you
I've had a 7 rock full burst day before without including the pity
ofc none of them resulted in anything useful
the burst animation be like the second coming of smol white
vesti's shooting is like cindy that's going to be -5 burst gen for pvp

The way I organize my tier list for DPS units, personally (entirely focused on SR/UR, as a note), is:
- SSS: Unit has either unique mechanics are a combined list of mechanics that make it irreplaceable now and for the foreseeable future. Mandatory for competitive rankings without any question.
- SS: Apex of its element and able outclass A tiers of other elements in DPS but either requires restrictive comps or relies on sheer numbers for dominance (offers nothing significantly gamechanging).
- S: Core units within their element. Ability to function in neutral either as filler units or via supportive characteristics that still function outside of their element.
- A: The foot soldiers of their element. They do their job well, but they fall out of relevance almost entirely in neutral unless a boss is particularly synergistic mechanically.
- B: Units that aren't yet bad, yet fail to excel well enough to warrant heavy investment until a treasure is provided.
- C: Candidates for mild investment for new, F2P players who don't want to reroll. Purely a stepping stone.
- D: Units that honestly need a non-treasure rework, as their kits are simply poorly designed.
- F: Just don't.
I think absolute is too important to be dead on arrival units so they'll probably get giga buffed by anniversary units
Don’t cope that hard bru
Never forget LITTLE MERMAID (SIREN) - WIND
she'll be anything but the most obvious ele
absolute has been too important lorewise for like 3 years and theyve been in the bin 
Oh wait, right, Siren didn't even align with boss element 
mantis equiv btw
I mean
Absolute had like two scenes in the main story tbh
Pretty sure Exotic and Inherit have more screentime than them

Until now, at least
inherit for sure cuz doro specifically keeps coming back
I don't count Doro 
She basically does nothing with Inherit 
We'll basically know the fate of this trio when we get the boss info
If there's no insane DEF gimmick (Wind-Element Mirror Container?
), then we'll see them fairly
If there is, then they're probably one-raid wonders 
but she is inherit

dw they will sell this trio with sr for sure
imagine if they just dream up mechanics for new units specifically, shift up would never do that
make a shield dmg up and a singular boss with a shield
Or that, yeah
4 or 5
I don't think they're beating Crown or Grave/Alice
ya its like
Unless w/e boss has no core, then rip Alice
rapi
afk mihara
alice eva
but then hello Miranda S Rosanna Mihara
sg and this?
Ah yeah, and Drake stonks
I think it’s good we have mid level releases like this. Gives us a chance to breathe. I like the new trio a lot

heres a real question
r u going to ele atk ammo vesti
for team 4/5

im not
but she kinda wants all 3
0 rock emma and eunhwa, ez
I mean, you wouldn't replace RRH, but if you replaced Helm, Mast, and Anchor...
Hmm, yeah, I'm not so sure that'd improve things.
Maybe Rapi's drill is an explosive projectile. =y
it is
but u dont get more diluted then this
oh wait attachment is more diluted
but yea it is cuz her s2 shows it
is vesti a besti
what does diluted even mean when it's 2 skills in the same characters kit
we're just saying words to say them
when you're mix and matching different units you can use that but you're never separating those out so diluted makes 0 sense
They're talking about using rapi in Emma eunhwa
Cuz theres projectile explosion DMG up
Which rapi already buffs herself
???
That's literally mixing and matching rapi into a team 
What I really want to know is if Laplace's laser beam shots count as projectiles

It might not be
Both kinds. The basic shots, and the burst prolonged beam of death
Cuz there's no explosion right
I mean s1 wording does make it sound like it’s an “explosion”
Her normal wep is an explosion for sure but that also doesn't stack in burst laser iirc?
And it doesn't affect laser radius
Afaik
Why did they go back to true damage now
Somehow I knew that they would be support support DPS and also not impressive
absolutely mid
RLs explosiode
being impressive is reserved for limiteds and 1% for a while now
if you can call a 2% standard impressive in advance that would be good foresight
like maids 
Didn't a lot of people say "skip except for raiders" about both Aegis maids and then immediately regretted skipping her?
Most of the duos got that misjudgment.
it's trio without CDR
i don't remember what people said about them honestly
bruh
yeah this no cdr is like wtf is going on
The thread's not that far down, it's pretty funny to reread.
2023 nikkes
Or things like "bunnies aren't even T5 anymore" and we've used them every raid recently.
I want to see how this no CDR team works as a trio
No idea who else would even get added to their squad.
emma+eunhwa work as a true damage buffer
once they finally lift that cope shit off the ground they can become very good
Maybe some of the currently unused off-burst healers? If Eunwha goes the whole team does.
Honestly might toss on Rapunzel to see how much Eunwha and Emma buff her.
Yep, now the maid pirates are used in campaign, anomaly interception, either in part or in full. Maid Mast, primarily
TU Emma heals the team a lot, it's basically got to be a CDR unit in 5th slot unless the fight is simply winnable without CDR
What we put in the team with the trio depends on how horrible the trio's burst gen is
If it's decent or good enough, then anyone works.
If it's bad, then it has to be somebody that adds good burst gen.
I don't think it's even that much heals
Welcome back Dolla?
yeah
Just take this image and I guess blot out the specific ones? #1402623592188870806 message
ig they're around bunnies tier then for generic dps
You nailed it, the required 2%s have all been supports
Blanc and Noir, NagaTia, DWife, Rouge, maids and whoever else
But these are supporting true damage and that won't really land
Eventually they will get us to care about True Damage. They seem to be determined.
Unlike Last Bullet that keeps getting undermined and ignored.
nayuta true dmg cope
is she good for pvp
since the two others are true damage buffers
won't it be better to just pair ein with them?
We just need testing to find out
true dmg
together they become 3 Trony
this is similar to early shitgun all over again
investing in a bunch of units that doesn't have a clear future
unless they're pushing true damage next, which they should be
don't need to squeeze remaining players with 1% banners when you can just release trios 
actually 78%
for Emma + Eunhwa it's 30.97% x 2
so yeah, together they are worse Frima

so we either roll for a trio or roll for vesti+build frimmers
3.9% dmg taken
10.92% explosion dmg which is RL only
40% ATK buff cd 40s
61.94% true dmg buff
8.16% crit rate
27.97% dmg taken
41.81% charge dmg

so many buffs, except all of them look so small
sure together they are slightly better than Frima in term of edge, but they cost 2 slots while Frima is 1

yeah this ain't it, I can see a squeeze from miles away
not rollin 
All the true damage units are lolis
Bait damage type
They'll never make a meta loli DPS because they can't give her a gacha skin that violently rubs her smelly feet all over your face
Su would never be this based
listen to this man, he tells the truth
So, SU undercooked?
It is unknown
Right now they're all mid as hell but this team screams that it's incomplete
you mean we need to roll for 2+ more girls?
that's genius. It was almost as if a certain archetype in the past was so shit
it needs 5 entirely new chars to save it
I'm just sayin that shitup saw how successful sg was and said
let's try for episode 2 
They could all be filler garbage because absolute is 2 lolis and a cow with canonically toxic milk so it's possible that they're just throwaway
That's meant only to normalize triple banner patches before anniversary
But their buffs are really unique so if the anniversary pilgrim (at least one of 3) is a true damage DPS you'll explode instantly
I'm scarred after skipping maids because you literally do not get to play bready so I'll probably try to at least get Emma enhua
Vesti is probably replaceable by Laplace and she has loli debuff
So 🚮
I guess we'll know if Vesti is meant to be a real unit from how her instant charge works
If it doesn't auto fire or have a reduced cooldown she's probably filler garbage
Frima is unusable in campaign waves, and vs certain bosses her kit is messed up because she must land 6 shots in time to proc the buffs and then burst after having the buffs (so at start of battle, she’s too fast to apply the true dmg buffs)
So for the most part, I view Frima treasure as a thorough failure because ShiftUp didn’t want to let her realize her dream 
And then we have a fundamental problem where if we want true damage comp, TU Eunhwa must be considered because she’s literally firing pure true damage bullets often…
And of course the fact she helps TU Vesti do more 
All without the Frima treasure problems
Again guys remember if vesti and gang were must have meta we’d be in deep shit. So be happy they’re just ok, roll for waifu or collection, otherwise wishlist and save 
A lot of people also said Grave looked underwhelming
Most people just talk 
lolwut
I could maybe see the argument for Vesti if one recognizes the concept of oppai loli, but Eunhwa is in no way loli 

Uhuh
In this server, loli status is decided by how the majority of artists draw the character
sure ig
None of the characters are loli because they're all trained soldiers except maybe Rei and Tia/Naga but shift up has never made characters without massive tits good
And bad characters get huge tits when they get reworked to become good like D
Liter was a mistake they've been trying to kill for years
I'm coping for meta petite or at least flat nikkes too but it's not happening unless it's a bundle with some fat tits hoe like manchor
I'm sure Grave was deemed Mid for her DPS
not her buff
who is even in the right mind to say 40% ATK dmg 40% pierce dmg = mid

And manchor doesn't even get to see play with her intended teammate all the time because people would rather run mast crown 
I think the thing with grave is that people forgot she buffs
anyway
Eunhwa has as much buff as Asuka (may be lower by ATK but whatever)
but she's base SR, Asuka is base AR

so yeah, rip
Eunhwa with 100% CS may do

Basically that
People saw raon's "only a little more DPS than Dorothy" and declared her mid

Ignoring that Dorothy barely offers actual support function
They compared her buffs to crown and went yeah that's a DPS with token buffs
I heard that vesti attack range in pvp is 750?
where'd you hear that from


been trying to ask the eden folks about vesti info for the past 3 and a half hours...
go to RSP

I posted there
Yapden?

kr W
may be I should have asked Lorax how to do this

but I won't be able to do this much since I'm always in office when they do MT
like, literally finished 2h meeting to see nothing fancy

So, low burst gen?
Ah ok safe skip if you have other arena units
definitely has her place in Zombie
A2 laps
Ah a2
ok
Better than normal rl like noise but less than sg
Alright so ok
I assume Vesti will apply true dmg to everyone she hits
and shoot 4 shots over 3s

10s FB = at least 12 shots
damn
each shot deals 266% true dmg x 1.6 (60% bonus True dmg on burst) x 1.5 = 7660.8% ATK
=> Unbuffed Vesti will hit each and everyone as much as Helm nuke

and it's true dmg so it will bypass your def which normally equals 20% ATK buff
Mood 
so pull vesti for pvp?

if you're missing other pvp nukers i guess
nuker is counterable by noah bay
Vesti is counterable by stun her THEN Noah her or Rosanna her

that's way different
remember, THEN, not Or
it means even if she's stun by Siren, or cock block by Noah 3s
she still wipes
but anyway
Vesti stock also rises this time
I dream that boss will have 360% def buff
can't be removed

Let’s hope my arena fuckers don’t hear that
So I can safe skip
We don’t need another mirror container bruh
That shit ass
Stupid question but why isn’t Noah cockblock enough for vesti? True damage skips thru the invul or you’re just thinking in 3rl teams where it’ll take longer than that to kill her so by the time Noah invul is gone she can wipe anyways
Blanc Vesti
she will have 7s left right?
aka 8 shots, roughly
8 x 266% x 1.6 x 1.5 x 1.4 = 7150% ATK
for your reference, a normal Defender HP is 2750% ATK

x2 it (100% HP buff, 50% dmg reduction) makes it 5500% ATK
and where does 5500% ATK as HP bring you to?

to 7150%
wanna be sold even better?

Noah has 2750% ATK as HP
Vesti deals 1280% ATK at 2 RL
so with 80% ele (4 lines normal) + cube + base 10%
Noah will die before you can even burst
or Blanc, SBS

man, I really underrated her dmg yesterday
saw first 4 hits => damn bad
turn out that 4 hits are even stronger than 2 Laplace shot which can almost send Biscuit/Trina to next life
Do most noah just run without biscuit?
these days
3
someone in my dream told me her AoE was big as Emilia
That’s really difficult pressure on SBS then if it’s Blanc & SBS Indom

Because p1, p2, p3 aren’t safe for SBS from a bloodthirsty 80%-100% ele dmg TU Vesti
Man
Don’t temp me more lmao
Imma wait for her actual performance
Final cope frontline
but you will pair her with Blanc anyway
Bro
so x1.4
I think to make hyper froth and turn rabid, you just have to say TU Vesti in a bunny suit
Bro reading my mind
more dupes on Vesti = can't die from Rosanna burst

Core Max probably never dies from Rosie burst
that's a way but you will need 3 - 4 ammo lines on her then
instead of 2 lines (100%) and 1 bastion
8 x 2 = 16 + 3 = 19
may be 17, for 23 shots


Wait how does that math work that 266% true damage * 1.6 * 1.5 = 7660.8% atk
60% true dmg buff on burst
50% full burst Bonus
her S2 is 266% true dmg per hit
so the dmg goes like
266% x (1+0.6) x (1+0.5) per hit
12 hits so x12 = 7660%
Oh, over 12 hits, that makes sense
I've seen so many people on reddit making claims such as these three being used for elysion tower that I needed to double-check myself
I assume she shoots 4 hits/3s
for Ely tower I'm sure D Duo Maids Rapi Helm is just brain dead

some stages you need to tap anchor for burst gen
but whatever afterward
Like, elysion tower is almost perfect as it is, and these three run on a trio, focus on true damage (???) and there's no CDR
I'm honestly curious to see if they'll have any real use rate at all amongst top 50 in SR after this next one
I think they got enough feedback on how ass mirror container raid was

25% rapipi 
23.4 @ 3 RL
Dont forget charge dmg
That's the biggest reason why there are some veterans salivating at skipping this whole month
Enough raid Fire units to get indigestion over

i think the squad looks good i'd like to use them
making these lore important 'important' you know not really but they will get exposition as skips feels bad
I saw so many people saying they would be meta for that reason, but that has never worked
This game has always had nonsensical meta nikkes in comparison to their actual lore strength
we thought they were going to be overspec at first
and then they confirmed they would not be
i guess it killed them off
I mean, I heard people saying that when they were announced a few days ago as normal banners
how are they showing rapi anything? it just proves rapi's point that leaving them behind was a good choice lol
That makes no sense, Rapi would be no stronger than them if not for alien double core magic
That's not what actually happened
But then people start clamoring for them to be super meta or OP, otherwise people will say what you're saying and they'll be forgotten or whatever
if they were super fire niche that would've been a pretty good spot
or super true damage niche
but it appears that they are skips
server online
between the three, which one meta and not?
I just remembered a Fire-weak boss that has high DEF
Indivilia
She's going to be in Museum isn't she 
I forgot what's our first wind/fire weak SR
Oh lol, it's whitesmith
Knowing it's collab SR, will they put it on museum?
Tho, they do skip entire 3-6 for ultra, so it can be anything for next museum boss really
Hehe, Ch 40 boss has spread out parts and is weak to fire

Now all we need is DEF buff and Vesti's ready for the selling 
No need to DEF Buff, these parts have insanely strong Def naturally 
I had enough power to destroy this Boss in Hard Mode, but I couldn't even kill a single one of her parts 
I dealt 1 dmg to it
so, assuming body has 0 buff
Rapi will deal 4x dmg of Vesti
but now we add 4 parts which only Vesti and Laplace somewhat can deal dmg to it
Vesti is now 1.2 Rapi =))
Mihara of course, doesn't give a fk about that
this is just another Gluttony to her
anis tiddy star gonna be true dmg or nah
Prob buffing
She's going to shoot her dirty socks into your mouth
Poison damage
So probably sustained but might be true?
maybe anis default B1 but if team has only 1 B3 then she become B3
flex kit like rapipi B3->B1? 
Anis so fat she's all 3 bursts like red hood
But they all taunt her because they can't hit anything else
She's too wide
we need neon powerup too 
Sneon is already peak performance
Can't get any stronger without ruining the balance
last time she did a water up that didn't go so well
At least her hand became sex
ya emilia 2.0, emilia shows up nihilister 5splash
roll her for she's the God-Emperor of PVPkind
literally never used in water again
only used in pvp
emilia 2.0
but u pull 3 instead of 1

you got pulls left for vesti after the emma shaft?

Pull Vesti first so Emma can't steal your rolls 
imagine having both emma and eunhwa then have nothing left to pull vesti 
Reverse @edgy onyx moment
I have 1300 even I’m not gonna spend em on these. Upcoming schedule got me spooked
Did i miss an announcement? cause people seem to think collab after this? but we already had 2 this year.. last year was rezero and eva (dave diver doesn't count)
dafuq they are truly milking.. hopefully its a dave the diver type thing
Fun times
https://www.getnews.co.kr/news/articleViewAmp.html?idxno=813521 This is the source (it's in KR)
That's good proof. At least, if they didn't change their words, and this sort of thing is long term planning and effort, not a "Okay boys and girls, we need to whip up something for 30 days from now. Let's do a collab!" - oh no, hell no. They probably had the deal worked out six months beforehand.
If not longer... for the negotiations and coordination
What if it's a Chainsaw Man rerun? 
Evangelion Part 3: Electric Boogaloo
You Shall (Not) Copium
You Shall (Not) Complain, more like 
You shall (eat) slop
they could have meant nier rerun tho no?
like not writing it off but technically could be sb+nier

so wtf
the collab gotta be bunny theme right
otherwise wtf
absolute > bunnies > anni > collab > xmas?
no gap?
Collab sandwiched between ani 2+ 1% nikkes and winter 1x 1% nikke (u know its happening) would be something 
3 pilgrim patches
summer/winter patches
2 collab patches
an event with a minigame (bunnies for example)
that's already 8 per year
it's getting into year 3 so they're going into maximum squeezing mode
going public and listed on the stock market means line must go up at any cost now
They literally said we are gonna have another collab
they have some work to do
from going public to now it's a nice decline
I am hoping it was rapi (prob was) that made most of their money this month and not doro
going public and having to deal with shareholders is like one of the leading causes for a company to start plummeting
well trending recent 30 days 
3 gacha skins on anni will save it

1066.4% True Damage to P1, P2, (P3?) in 3 RL
Add TEmma + TEunhwa for moar snipe damage.

Instant 62% True Damage, 100% Charge Damage (from Vesti S1 + Eunhwa), 20% ATK, 3.9% Damage Taken, and some Explosive bonus.
Unprotected Noah sniping is real.
unprotected...noah...
How fast is auto Alice again
1.6 i think
vesti for alteisen coop 
I haven't done it yet but apparently she's meta upcoming raid
yeah i know about the true dmg and Ziz thing
But i dont know about other fire boss
Otherwise on shooting range neutral from paper math vesti will be like 50% of raven
Well it's just what is expected we might be wrong 
ngl I looked at number
I'm hoping we're wrong cuz it's not a good look on SU honestly
i felt disappointed and happy at the same time
if they throw a meatball at Absolute's face
they cant do shit ig?
good absolute is omega copium
true damage has been dead for like a year, there's two true damage b3 in the game and they aren't even the same element so even if buffed vesti ends up doing relevant damage, your second b3 won't and you have no cdr

True damage is a
from shitup feels like
It’s ok since I’ll skip all of em they’ll be meta fo sho

Maybe pull vesti if she’s a PvP demon by herself 
most she's replacing is rei in CA
as in the fire mg
I need two months of skips
meanwhile me sitting on 42 tickets and 72k gems
If I could skip a year, what would happen...
realistically u would be building the prev year's nikkes no?
like will rapi suddenly be not used in 1 year
we have 4-5months left til 1 year old
cindy/ein will prob be used next electric, asukaw/sbs same story ect. maybe not team 1 anymore but definately team 4-5 right
That makes sense and unless ShiftUp goes buck wild on releasing new OP units, it feels like at worst there’d be 1 new elemental team, which means I can still improve 4 out of 5 teams for most raids during the “skip year”
Unfortunately, actually doing a skip year seems like it’d be difficult. Because have to be self-disciplined enough 
And quitting for a year doesn’t count!
Quitting for a year is bricked
Imagine losing a year's worth of gear exp and skill mats
even 1 month is enough to brick you
Yeah, can confirm
Had a union mate take a month long break before deciding to quit
I picked up his account and he'd gone from Challenger 1 undefeated to diamond 5

bro unbrick his mental + wallet, that's a win
arena is truly a never ending arms race, either embrace the autism or accept perma d5
whales can ignore tho 
Vesti's supposed to be good for arena, right?
Who'd she be replacing?

Thinking about finally updating my teams after who knows how long
I think I saw talk of Blanc, so does that mean she's better than Emilia?
Meth says she hits hard and can kill unprotected Noah
Have to see how she is in practice
But I can’t think of where to put her in tbh
I use Emilia as a burst gen battery, Vesti can’t even do that
Either way, she’s gonna see use in chumps arena for sure
im already running zombie sbs, if vesti winds up being even better then... 
Core hits now give the same burst gen as non core-hits. Heh.
When did they fix this?
Maybe Tsukino knows.
it's over
Is that a burst gen nerf?
No, Kisenix just crazy 
He breathed in too much of Emma's "environment" 
oh wait she's going to com tomorrow right
Special vesti banner just for him
Next week
ahh okay thanksss
Btw does her basic attack also trigger True DMG if hitting multiple parts (True DMG on each)?
unknown as of yet
iirc a2 only triggers once,
but will trigger on different units?
i forget laplace iirc the s1 triggers per part and the burst laser triggers per part but 1 is different wording and 2 isnt rl it becomes pierce
emilia triggers per part with this
a2 wording
a2 hits, 2 guns part dmg + body hit + 1 proc
a2 on multi unit as well i guess i may as well post
if vesti doesnt proc on parts shes ogre in my books
she should proc per part to break those 4 eyes
the proc should be on body regardless no?
like u hit part then proc on body
itd be better for her if this was the case overall tbh because then u get higher uptime of s2 even with squishy parts
That is the only way to sell her this raid
only burst breaks
have we ever had a proc on part dmg?
emi/laplace is on body isnt it?
i think the better way to sell her is u let her s2 not hit parts so it stays up -> burst kills parts
because if ur not doing 4 part+body times s2 ur dmg is kinda bad
so u want to have those parts up as long as possible to farm s2 dmg on body
without dying
which is s2 hitting body to not kill them anywhere near quickly 
if i kill part in 1 volley then im only getting 1 volley of extra dmg, if i kill part after 15 volley i have 15 volley of extra dmg
Parts are very tanky, full laplace burst cant even kill one

Eunhwa is the part breaker bro
tell gatrix that not me 
im on the boat of she wants parts alive to hit body instead
I told u B4 that
I Don't think
A2 procs more than once
Vesti will also not proc more than once I think

The wording doesn't suggest more than one proc
i literally have screenshots above 
part procing: a2 1proc regardless of part, emilia multi proc, laplace multi proc?(i think? i forget but vaguely recall this, some1 with treasure go test)
target procing: a2 1 per target, emilia 1 per target, laplace 1 per target (all of these excludes terrain/cover)
Laplace has a part skill
Emilia has an all damage increased skill
condition text is mirrored anyways 
thats why i say unsure, its magic and they didnt give us info
Overload Recs
- 16 Ammo (PvE) → Enough for one FB, force her to reload between FB, so you can swap to TEunhwa/other units for burst gen. More Ammo may prevent you from swapping, and she may be forced to reload in the next FB. I think 12 (9s uptime + 1.67s reload per magazine) is too smol; 16 (12s + 1.67s reload per magazine) is a lil' too much but better. Always reload before her own Full Burst.
- For context, Siren's CDR is 7.48s (12.52s) and DWife's is 7s (13s), which is < than TVesti's 4 sequences, but maybe Burst Delay from clicking button compensates it?
- 16/17/18 Ammo (PvP) → To make sure she never reloads until the end of Full Burst.
- 4× ELE, 4× ATK
- CRT Rate/DMG/ChargeSpeed (PvE), Charge Speed (PvP)
- Useless: CHG DMG/Hit Rate/DEF. More Max Ammo can brick (PvE) because may need manual to waste ammo/force reload.
- Max Ammo non-multiples of 4 = brick (IF not manualed; you must waste ammo/force reload). 4+1 = VERY bricked. 4+2 = VERY bricked. 4+3 = Kinda bricked.

Dafuq now she's good after being mocked for a week 
You should know by now that Snake always mocks new units.
Well, technically the mocking is for Bossing.
She's better on mobbing.
uuh what is there to mob when u clered campaign and tower?

one of the biggest bottlenecks in campaign are also bosses
and some volleyballs stages

Idk not my fault youre rushing

What maximizes TU Vesti pve dmg?
TU Emma, TU Eunhwa, TU Vesti, EVA1 Rei, DWife?
Or use EVA1 Asuka?
is DKW better than Siren if you only care about one team?
i guess DKW has a 1% higher attack damage buff so if you only want vesti's bar to be as fat as possible and only care about making one team because siren's passive damage taken applies to all damage instead of just vesti's?
how would dkw be better
there
dkw gives 5% attack dmg off burst

siren gives 5% dmg taken and has personal dmg

also 4% attack dmg
she’ll also help with burst gen since emma is a mg

DKW gives 1% more attack while Siren gives 5% damage taken, arguably better burst gen and personal damage
HOWEVER
she makes vesti's bar look smaller because her own and other b3's are bigger

True damage is an oxymoron
It's simply damage which ignores defense, hence buffs which causes ATK to exceed enemy DEF by as much as the enemy's DEF... is equivalent to true damage type
Your carry: 10 atk. Enemy: 2 def.
Your team buffs carry by +2 atk. Grats, you changed carry to fake "true" damage - effectively.
So it takes an incredibly high DEF opponent. Like Mirror Container, Indivilia. And I suppose Ziz's eyes, now.
Because then ATK buffs are pretty inefficient answers or the DEF is too sky high.
I think they should name it Ignore Def Damage

and save True Damage for something else
I'm used to Penetration or Armor Penetration being for that. In this situation, it would be 100% Armor (DEF) Penetration
I've also seen it be called Piercing, but that's obviously off limits in Nikke 
it was old term in Destiny Child
what true dmg should entail ?
in DC, all DoT dmg is true dmg
can't be reduced, only blockable by immune
which was the only way to deal with tank in PVP
in PVP, tank had so high def DPS dealt low dmg to them, and there was an OL that healed you everytime you were hit
100% chance to heal 500 hp, which was even higher or roughly the same dmg you received from DPS

impossible to kill lmao
Just call it pierce damage because it pierces defense 
I hate the gimmick damage type thing they're doing
I guess it helps with power creep because they can print the same buffers 5 times before needing to increase values but all standard DPS are one SR units and every new pilgrim shits on everything that came before it anyway
It doesn't help that half of the gimmicks are just conceptually awful
Pierce and distributed have obvious use cases but you can't see enemy defense and if you start doing 1 damage it might be a hit count thing so you won't know when to use true damage units unless someone tells you
And sustained damage requires the boss to go invulnerable often which isn't fun and it is mostly 5-10 second debuffs so it doesn't even guarantee you'll get the damage ticks
Might as well add gun type buffs and boss weaknesses
You can see enemy defence buffs tho
Does that help if they just make stuff with base high defense that doesn't need to defense buff itself like indivilia and ziz balls?
I mean, defence has varied between bosses since the beginning of the game 
I think that being able to see enemy stats ingame would be useful for sure 
with pierce and distributed you get some sort of visual hint to use them
hmmm this boss spawns mobs that need to die, i should probably unzip my sbs
with true damage you basically need to know how much damage your unit is supposed to do
it says pierce because it's the damage type 
true damage is visually different too
Same goes for ATK buffs and DEF down debuffs then 
it's just distributed and sustained damage that don't look different but that's probably because they barely matter half the time

Mast (normal one) has the ability to make everyone deal true damage, technically

Just reduce boss DEF to 0 
me pulling out my sheet of how much the dps units i have on my team do per burst on shooting range naked, adding my buffs and comparing it to the numbers i see on the boss
Not if the boss def is too high
Its ATK buff in disguise
True DMG is variable ATK buff
Shit can go from 0% to infinity
Pretty sure there's no boss in the game with higher DEF than our units 
Mast can't really stack her debuff on ziz balls
unless they somehow inherit it from the body
treasure soon 
She was our first evidence that true damage is mid unless gimmick boss like MC
the issue is that to make true damage viable they need to crank def so high that it cucks everyone else, ideally so much that it becomes worth using it over stronger general buffers or it makes running off element true damage units over element matching
Oh wait, new No Limit bosses get absurd stats, so nvm 
and since defense isn't percentage based, you can still beat it with units that have big single nukes
300k DEF at Step 20 
true damage is just caster's atk but scaling off enemy defense instead of another nikke's atk

true damage will come back when power creep gets to step 20
that's probably how long it'll take them to release a real true damage dps after absolute too 
Has distributed damage ever been used consistently outside of SBS?
I also dislike that most specific buffs are useless in general, but that's because B3 pilgrims dominate the meta in terms of damage
Dorothy 
Forgetting Bready is crazy.
Didn't forget
They said "consistently"

Bready dead outside of water raids
Not even above 90% top 50 even in water raids 
And she was only used mainly as distributed in the first; she was mainly sustained damage vs Kraken
Only people who used her as distributed were those whose sustained damage comps probably couldn't break tentacles fast enough
How do you use sustained Bready on kraken if you spend half the fight shooting tentacles
Bready needs to hit 3 charged shots every 5 seconds or she drops the debuff
Her sustained damage isn't sustained at all 
I did forget Dorothy, I honestly don't remember if she ever had supports in her team dedicated to boosting distributed damage
Hit the shots, ez

No, because her damage was basically just supplementary to the team
"Hi, I'm Dorothy and I deal damage while giving cdr"
Plus, her distributed damage is unaffected by element, which makes it much worse than any other unit's
If you're counting QeQ, then Phantom and 2B as well
cuz distr damage isn't actually much of QeQ's DPS overall 
So it really is just SBS
Imagine running Phantom
If true damage ignored damage loss from red BP, that would be a different thing entirely
Don't worry, that'll be the 2026 feature mechanic 
@idle minnow In light with my previous question, does Skill DMG also damage parts (kill them faster)?
Cindy doesn't.
But does A2 do?
TVesti?
Does explode damage affect her true dmg?
I wonder
no
it doesnt
no
All procs have been on body
Like all procs ever created not just for rl
Emi/a2/laplace r all body iirc
Mod sbs Cindy xlud ect are all body
So unless they decided to do something special like how raven burst affects parts (but this time without mentioning it) expect bpdy
Technically this can be a good thing
Like if u think indi AI her parts r paper af when you actually do DMG to them tbh(shoot them with Alice burst and tell me how fast it breaks)
Keeping her parts alive gives you more damage because of the splash
Because her rocket is a spoon to feed the s2 procs into the boss
So doing DMG to body for hitting parts will preserve the parts for you to feed more damage into body
Under 25 hours to the rise of the Besti
Is besti good yet
Is besti good yet? No
Is besti besti yet? Yes
Jokes aside, we will find out in a few days
Patience
And try not to fall for any initial hypes or rumors
i expect most of whats discussed here to be true tbh, hit gluttony = very mid, 4 part+body splash = good, hitting body with the s2 proc is also a benefit imo, pvp 5 target splash? very good
Will I get smacked if I try to post 5 images somewhere on this server? In a single post
Nvm, I tried it and I survived
Besti Posti
hii guysss
vesti can't kill gluttony
