SS-SSS is fine

A-S is not

the higher it gets the easier

can't you just do if i like the character she's sss otherwise f

alpine ether
spring jay
#

Wait for surface content to force everybody to make a whole new tier list evil

alpine ether
#

And internally, we can never reach an agreement if something is A or S too

spring jay
alpine scroll
#

then work from there, otherwise nothing work

spring jay
#

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

alpine ether
#

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

alpine scroll
#

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

alpine ether
zealous pagoda
#

inb4 vesti doesn't even get auto fire on her instant charge shots

#

filler ass

alpine ether
alpine scroll
#

so you and snake work on tier list and Gaytrix do the reviews ?

alpine ether
#

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

alpine scroll
#

well you guys shouldn't have this debate over how to grade something S/A

#

that should be at least clear

alpine ether
#

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.

alpine ether
#

And there were flaws with the new evaluation system.

#

Which we agreed on.

What's the verdict on these 3 bitches?

Skip + wishlist

sudden cargo
#

I'm still on vesti cope for pvp

crimson gale
#

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?

cerulean eagle
#

i might pull Emma if there's seggs on her bond

crimson gale
#

they did last bond i am pretty sure.. so heres hoping 🙂

dark inlet
#

3 rocks right before Trios. i see what you did nikke.

#

but Vesti is like a while away

paper stump
#

3 rocks

#

How is that even possible

crimson gale

I thought 2 was the max..

idk how long anomaly has come out now

probably first time i seen that

I don’t even get 3 rocks in full burst days

I've hit 3 rocks once

He was talking about 3 rocks in total

EulaFrown 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 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

paper stump

Don’t cope that hard bru

muted river
#

Based on story trailer, Nayuta is probably going to be our god-tier water anni unit

sudden cargo
#

she's gonna be electric

muted river
#

Ah yes

#

Electric bubbles, like the wind liquid metal bubbles of Siren

spring gorge
#

Never forget LITTLE MERMAID (SIREN) - WIND

sudden cargo
#

she'll be anything but the most obvious ele

muted river
#

Never look at the unit

#

Look at the boss YesNod

idle minnow
muted river
#

Oh wait, right, Siren didn't even align with boss element kekwwa

idle minnow
#

mantis equiv btw

muted river
#

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

idle minnow
#

inherit for sure cuz doro specifically keeps coming back

muted river
#

I don't count Doro Riuglare

#

She basically does nothing with Inherit KEKL

#

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? kekwwa ), then we'll see them fairly

#

If there is, then they're probably one-raid wonders delugiggle

idle minnow
#

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

muted river
#

I mean, it could end up a Maid Privaty situation where they just end up like T3

idle minnow
#

i think theyre t4

muted river
#

Or that, yeah

idle minnow
#

4 or 5

muted river
#

I don't think they're beating Crown or Grave/Alice

idle minnow
#

ya its like

muted river
#

Unless w/e boss has no core, then rip Alice

idle minnow
#

rapi
afk mihara
alice eva

muted river
#

but then hello Miranda S Rosanna Mihara

idle minnow
#

sg and this?

muted river
#

Ah yeah, and Drake stonks

paper stump
#

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

muted river
#

I don't mind mid releases

#

I don't like triple releases

idle minnow
#

heres a real question

#

r u going to ele atk ammo vesti

#

for team 4/5

#

im not

#

but she kinda wants all 3

paper stump
#

brother

#

where do i have rocks

#

for one unit

#

let alone 3

sudden cargo
#

0 rock emma and eunhwa, ez

paper stump
#

get bonked in tower

#

ez

#

wait nvm elyshit tower has rapipi

#

won't even use them

sudden cargo
#

tower? yeah

#

0 chance they remotely compete

paper stump
#

good good

#

very nice units

#

unironically

#

we got a month to breathe

ancient quail
#

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.

sudden cargo
#

then rrh getting borderline no buffs

#

maids rapipi going nowhere in tower

ancient quail
#

Maybe Rapi's drill is an explosive projectile. =y

idle minnow
#

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

oak matrix
#

is vesti a besti

placid garnet
#

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

idle minnow
#

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 PepeHands

spring jay
#

What I really want to know is if Laplace's laser beam shots count as projectiles

spring jay
#

Both kinds. The basic shots, and the burst prolonged beam of death

idle minnow
#

Cuz there's no explosion right

paper stump
#

I mean s1 wording does make it sound like it’s an “explosion”

idle minnow
#

And it doesn't affect laser radius

#

Afaik

paper stump
#

Yea you’re right

#

Her burst isn’t an explosion

#

Just “deals true dmg”

grave rose
#

Why did they go back to true damage now

paper stump
#

To give us a break

grave rose
#

Somehow I knew that they would be support support DPS and also not impressive

sudden cargo
#

absolutely mid

signal torrent
#

if you can call a 2% standard impressive in advance that would be good foresight

#

like maids AliceHappy

sour mango
#

Most of the duos got that misjudgment.

toxic dust
#

it's trio without CDR

signal torrent
#

i don't remember what people said about them honestly

gleaming arch
#

bruh

signal torrent
#

yeah this no cdr is like wtf is going on

sour mango
signal torrent
#

2023 nikkes

sour mango
#

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.

signal torrent
#

emma+eunhwa work as a true damage buffer

once they finally lift that cope shit off the ground they can become very good

sour mango
#

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.

spring jay
spring jay
#

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.

sudden cargo
sudden cargo
#

how much generic buff does the duo even give

#

30% dmg taken and 40% caster atk?

spring jay
#

Generic what way?

#

Oh, like any damage type?

#

As in not constrained to true dmg only

sudden cargo
#

yeah

spring jay
sudden cargo
#

ig they're around bunnies tier then for generic dps

grave rose
#

Blanc and Noir, NagaTia, DWife, Rouge, maids and whoever else

#

But these are supporting true damage and that won't really land

sudden cargo
#

in bossing they should be fine even in generic

#

bunny tier

sour mango
#

Unlike Last Bullet that keeps getting undermined and ignored.

grave rose
#

I agree

sudden cargo
#

nayuta true dmg cope

idle minnow
#

as determined as they were sg team

#

tbf

oak matrix
#

is she good for pvp

plain bramble
#

since the two others are true damage buffers
won't it be better to just pair ein with them?

spring jay
#

We just need testing to find out

edgy onyx
#

60% true dmg which costs 2 slots

#

Frima does the same and costs 1 slot

plain bramble
#

wait

#

so what do they give?

edgy onyx
#

true dmg

plain bramble
#

no I meant

#

eul and emma really needs vesti

#

but vesti is eh on paper

edgy onyx
#

together they become 3 Trony

plain bramble
#

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

edgy onyx
#

if we have insane true dmg next, she will go with Frima lol

#

better slot wise

plain bramble
#

don't need to squeeze remaining players with 1% banners when you can just release trios DoroSus

edgy onyx
#

actually 78%

#

for Emma + Eunhwa it's 30.97% x 2

#

so yeah, together they are worse Frima

plain bramble
#

frima heals too

spring gorge
#

sadge ok, i build frima treasure

#

Build 1 unit > building 2 units

plain bramble
#

so we either roll for a trio or roll for vesti+build frimmers

edgy onyx
#

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

plain bramble
#

yeah this ain't it, I can see a squeeze from miles away
not rollin Doro

zealous pagoda
#

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

plain bramble
#

listen to this man, he tells the truth

ancient yew
#

So, SU undercooked?

zealous pagoda
#

Right now they're all mid as hell but this team screams that it's incomplete

plain bramble
#

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

zealous pagoda
#

You can choose your own schizo theory

#

On what shift up is thinking

plain bramble
#

I'm just sayin that shitup saw how successful sg was and said
let's try for episode 2 DoroSus

zealous pagoda
#

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

spring jay
# edgy onyx actually 78%

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 sadge

#

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 TOMstare

#

All without the Frima treasure problems

paper stump
#

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 RavenSmirk

muted river
#

Most people just talk KEKL

muted river
#

I could maybe see the argument for Vesti if one recognizes the concept of oppai loli, but Eunhwa is in no way loli KEKL

formal wigeon
#

Uhuh

#

In this server, loli status is decided by how the majority of artists draw the character

#

kekw sure ig

zealous pagoda
#

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

edgy onyx
#

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

zealous pagoda
#

And manchor doesn't even get to see play with her intended teammate all the time because people would rather run mast crown kekmorbL

edgy onyx
#

yeah, El Macho

zealous pagoda
edgy onyx
#

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

zealous pagoda
#

Build infinite ammo team so you can roll 4x ele atk crit chance on enhua

edgy onyx
#

Vesti burst gen is probably very low

#

may be 65 x 4 x 4 at 2 RL

#

10.4% lmao

muted river
#

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

#

Ignoring that Dorothy barely offers actual support function

zealous pagoda
#

They compared her buffs to crown and went yeah that's a DPS with token buffs

not too bad to be fair

Better than normal rl like noise but less than sg

paper stump

Alright so ok

edgy onyx
#

I assume Vesti will apply true dmg to everyone she hits

#

and shoot 4 shots over 3s

#

10s FB = at least 12 shots

plucky trench
#

damn

edgy onyx
#

each shot deals 266% true dmg x 1.6 (60% bonus True dmg on burst) x 1.5 = 7660.8% ATK

plucky trench
#

I hoped to see some PvE Vesti in this chat

#

Now it's all PvP

edgy onyx
#

=> Unbuffed Vesti will hit each and everyone as much as Helm nuke

plucky trench
edgy onyx
#

and it's true dmg so it will bypass your def which normally equals 20% ATK buff

if you're missing other pvp nukers i guess

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

paper stump
#

welp

edgy onyx
#

but anyway

#

Vesti stock also rises this time

#

I dream that boss will have 360% def buff

#

can't be removed

paper stump
#

So I can safe skip

paper stump
#

That shit ass

edgy onyx
#

we will see

paper stump
edgy onyx
#

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

paper stump
edgy onyx
#

x2 it (100% HP buff, 50% dmg reduction) makes it 5500% ATK

#

and where does 5500% ATK as HP bring you to?

#

to 7150%

paper stump
#

aight

#

I’m sold

edgy onyx
#

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

muted river
edgy onyx
#

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

spring jay
#

That sounds strong

#

Does TU Vesti hit 2 targets before Full Burst?

ancient yew
edgy onyx
#

these days

edgy onyx
#

someone in my dream told me her AoE was big as Emilia

spring jay
#

That’s really difficult pressure on SBS then if it’s Blanc & SBS Indom

edgy onyx
spring jay
#

Because p1, p2, p3 aren’t safe for SBS from a bloodthirsty 80%-100% ele dmg TU Vesti

edgy onyx
#

indeed

#

1 PVP god to ruin them all

#

kneel before God-Emperor Vesti

paper stump
#

Don’t temp me more lmao

#

Imma wait for her actual performance

edgy onyx
#

btw the number is unbuffed

paper stump
#

Final cope frontline

edgy onyx
#

but you will pair her with Blanc anyway

paper stump
#

Bro

edgy onyx
#

so x1.4

paper stump
#

wtf

edgy onyx
#

that's why I said

#

it's impossible to go against her. May be just Rosanna

spring jay
#

I think to make hyper froth and turn rabid, you just have to say TU Vesti in a bunny suit

edgy onyx
#

and duh, even Rosanna is not reliable these days

edgy onyx
#

more dupes on Vesti = can't die from Rosanna burst

#

Core Max probably never dies from Rosie burst

spring jay
#

Just put tempering cube on TU Vesti evil

#

SR15 doll

edgy onyx
#

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

broken flax
edgy onyx
#

112.5% ammo

#

nvm, whatever. Only needs to make sure she shoots 12 during FB

grave rose
edgy onyx
#

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%

grave rose
#

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

edgy onyx
#

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

grave rose
#

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

ebon hare
#

Why build 3 new units when the current one is alrdy super good

grave rose
#

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

edgy onyx
#

with 360% def buff?

#

perhaps

edgy onyx

do you think why they sell a true dmg who deals 1/4 Rapi dmg

  • explosion damage
edgy onyx

this is pevepe

for pve she's a Trony

🚮

alpine ether
#

Around 30.5% explosion damage

#

And around 66% normal attack per shot

edgy onyx
#

10% explosion dmg

#

whatchu means 30%

#

they are like 2%, 3%, 5% lmao

alpine ether
#

Projectile explosion damage

edgy onyx
#

idk, I don't feel like bring Emma and Eunhwa to PVP

alpine ether
#

So normal basic attacks deal 344.52% in PvE per 4 shots.

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

signal torrent
#

we thought they were going to be overspec at first

#

and then they confirmed they would not be

#

i guess it killed them off

grave rose
#

I mean, I heard people saying that when they were announced a few days ago as normal banners

signal torrent
#

how are they showing rapi anything? it just proves rapi's point that leaving them behind was a good choice lol

grave rose
#

That makes no sense, Rapi would be no stronger than them if not for alien double core magic

signal torrent
#

rapi just knew it was a sinking ship and she needed to move on

#

smart girl

grave rose
#

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

ahh okay thanksss

Btw does her basic attack also trigger True DMG if hitting multiple parts (True DMG on each)?

idle minnow
#

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

edgy onyx
#

she should proc per part to break those 4 eyes

idle minnow
#

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

edgy onyx
#

That is the only way to sell her this raid

idle minnow
#

it wont break 4 eyes tho uwucat

#

cuz her normal dmg is pretty weak

#

and s2 on body right

edgy onyx
#

Will be dead afterward

#

S2 on part

idle minnow
#

only burst breaks

idle minnow
#

emi/laplace is on body isnt it?

idle minnow
# edgy onyx .

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 think

#

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

edgy onyx
#

Parts are very tanky, full laplace burst cant even kill one

idle minnow

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)

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.

Cube

  • Resilience (PvE)
  • Bastion (PvP)/Tempering (PvP)

Skill:

  • S2 > Burst >>> S1

Doll:

  • Doesn't really need SR 15, but she's good enough that she deserves one. Also CP boost and Damage Reduction.

Glossary

  • Waste ammo = Waste your remaining ammo, so you can force reload and swap to another char.
  • Force reload = Sitting on the char to prevent her from shooting, forcing her to reload.

zealous pagoda
#

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?

edgy onyx
#

Siren should contribute decent personal dmg

while D is just

polar crown

how would dkw be better

edgy onyx
#

there

polar crown

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

she makes vesti's bar look smaller because her own and other b3's are bigger

spring jay
#

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.

edgy onyx
#

I think they should name it Ignore Def Damage

#

and save True Damage for something else

spring jay
#

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 KEKL

edgy onyx
#

it was old term in Destiny Child

alpine scroll
#

what true dmg should entail ?

edgy onyx
#

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

zealous pagoda
#

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

muted river
zealous pagoda
#

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?

muted river
#

I mean, defence has varied between bosses since the beginning of the game thonk

#

I think that being able to see enemy stats ingame would be useful for sure delugiggle

zealous pagoda
#

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

muted river
#

Pierce is deceptive tho

#

You see "pierce" even if there's nothing to pierce kek

#

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 AnisShrug

#

true damage is visually different too

it's just distributed and sustained damage that don't look different but that's probably because they barely matter half the time

muted river
#

She was our first evidence that true damage is mid unless gimmick boss like MC

zealous pagoda
#

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

and since defense isn't percentage based, you can still beat it with units that have big single nukes

They said "consistently"

Bready dead outside of water raids

#

Not even above 90% top 50 even in water raids KEKL

#

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

zealous pagoda
#

Bready qeq basically

#

There aren't any other distributed damage units

zealous pagoda
#

Bready needs to hit 3 charged shots every 5 seconds or she drops the debuff

#

Her sustained damage isn't sustained at all lmaocry

grave rose
#

I did forget Dorothy, I honestly don't remember if she ever had supports in her team dedicated to boosting distributed damage

muted river
#

"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

cuz distr damage isn't actually much of QeQ's DPS overall delul

@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

formal wigeon
idle minnow
#

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
