Give me liberation rework. PLEASE

#

Ig now with velvet this makes an "independent" wind team too that could be decent in SR neutral ?

thorny mason
glossy portal
#

Neutral SR teams should be dead by the mid of this year

quaint bay
#

Never kgun

thorny mason
quaint bay
#

it's all I have to look forward to aside from main story updates and anni events

normal verge
#

I think wind gonna be.. Maids/Sbs/lib,, Siren/crown/helm/velvet.. Nayuta/miranda?.. some team with asuka/rei and then shotgun team with bunnies.. A new wind unit could change all that tho i guess

#

no wind unit got favorite item kinda sucks

quaint bay
#

Siren/Crown/Wasuka/Rei/Velvet unless next feature has better synergy somehow

#

No point having Helm there

normal verge
#

more damage if velvet is bursting

umbral widget
#

u can see siren/nayuta priority drop pretty harshly when neutral

#

with regards to how much ur worried about their dmg

O_o

wooden compass

instead of Crown

rain heart
#

tried a team 5 against Blacksmith
Xlud Siren Nayuta Mihara

#

last slot Red Hood vs Velvet

#

Velvet clapped Red by 400m

#

damn

guess in short she was like chime to siren?

yeah, fair

#

like trina to scarlet, but siren is already good without her, now she got mega buffed

@wooden compass i was told my snake to ping you BlancStare

We know Siren Nayuta SBS Lib Velvet is best for outside SR

#

im talking about SR

#

MirandaTr Nayuta Maxwell XDiesel take one slot

#

Siren Velvet will take one

#

SG will take one with Blanc

#

SBS Lib Maids

#

and T5 with AsukaW

#

RRH Crown SWHA AsukaW Ada

#

or BAde variant

#

or RRH BAde AsukaW ReiTN Ada

prisma talon
#

i assume her bunny costume will be in a pass

wraith lance
glossy portal
#

Go watch that video above

quartz dragon
#

for those curious, manual Velvet with optimal 4x CS is roughly equivalent to having 5 MGs supporting Siren during full burst (assuming Velvet isn't bursting, obviously)

prisma talon
#

thats rubbish move, oh well

hot axle
quartz dragon
#

if you allow her to auto with that much CS, she instead equivalent to around 4.3 MGs

quartz dragon
#

4.2 MGs no CS w/ manual play
3.6 MGs no CS on auto

hot axle
#

so tldr is to look for ele attack cs max ammo?

short marlin
#

for budget, cs and few max ammo is enough? thonk

quartz dragon
#

this is also comparing against MGs at 60 fps, her ratio will be higher at 30 fps (co-op)

hot axle
quartz dragon
#

as even with MFRA, MGs only shoot 54 rps at 30 fps

quartz dragon
#

her attack buff isn't that huge, and if you're using her to support siren then her personal damage goes down the toilet

short marlin
#

yeah, i need to save my resource, especially with big update incoming

quartz dragon
#

more doll levels would be marginally more attack and survivability

hot axle
quartz dragon
#

no clue what her ideal is

glossy portal
#

From the video above

Red = On burst DPS
Green = off-burst support (siren treasure)

quartz dragon
#

she a bit of an oddball in that she has 2 potential build paths

short marlin
#

next update beside of 4 new treasure, there's likely going to be 2 new alt lmaocry

quartz dragon
#

you can build her as a standard dps and have her burst, which would have no need for CS

#

or you can have her support siren, which is a completely different build path

wooden compass
rain heart
#

at least they cook something interesting this year

short marlin
rain heart
#

instead of huge dmg mech

short marlin
#

it's first half of the year after all

hot axle
rain heart
#

even Label looks interesting too but the shield has 0 def

#

which is sad

hot axle
#

I'd want it to be in June

rain heart
#

it should share dmg reduction and def of Label

short marlin
rain heart
#

which makes her SS tier DPS in PVP pepek

short marlin
#

then march

wooden compass
#

Siren Velvet HelmTr B3 Crown/Label(Burst)/RH B1 is the best still.

short marlin
#

or may

hot axle
# short marlin or may

that would be right after half anni, or at the very least after the event after half anni

wooden compass
short marlin
#

either way, next update is going to be the big one, so i try not to carelessly spend my resource atm

wooden compass
#

That's why I wanted PrivatyTr + Crown at first.

rain heart
wooden compass
#

Max reload speed.

rain heart
#

7/7/7

wooden compass
#

Can go 4 ELE, 4 ATK, 4 CS.

rain heart
#

not like you lose much lol

wooden compass
#

Go wham.

#

We will see PrivatyTr's kit first.

hot axle
unreal iris
#

Sooo is velvet worth pulling? Or is it a waifu pull

glossy portal
#

Only need 11% cs

wooden compass
#

Also can do XLud instead of Privy, and it's not that bad to reload for a bit.

glossy portal
#

So 1 of those can be max ammo

hot axle
#

everything else is minmax stat or waifu

wooden compass
glossy portal
#

I will personally go for 3x cs x1 ammo

wooden compass
#

I mean sure.

#

If you have max reload speed, that ammo isn't necessary, though.

#

You don't spam her outside FB.

#

You shouldn't.

#

S1 disincentivizes that.

#

Looks small but this contributes.

hot axle
wooden compass
#

And u cycle in <2.5-3s.

rain heart
#

we have OC like 5 seasons now

wooden compass
#

1/10/1 if Support.

rain heart
#

just go 7/10/4

glossy portal
#

4 is literally free nowadays PepeLaugh

wooden compass
#

Why is the 7

#

for Skill 1

#

Is there a breakpoint

rain heart
#

no, it's too cheap I don't even care

hot axle
wooden compass
#

just go dps then

#

7 10 7 or something

rain heart
#

tried, dmg looks eh

glossy portal
#

Just go 10/10/10 then

rain heart
#

okay

wooden compass
#

might as well

#

7 10 10 is fine

rain heart
#

7/10/7 here actually

wooden compass
#

no

#

u need 10

rain heart
#

her burst is not bad

rain heart
#

but the problem is there are better B2

#

sadly

wooden compass
#

Just get 4 ELE 4 ATK 4 CS

hot axle
#

let's just hope there isn't a collab anytime soon

wooden compass
#

and pair her with reload speed buffers

#

easy peasy

rain heart
#

like in Wind weak, you burst Mast maid/Anchor maid
Nayuta
Crown

#

and without Siren, bursting her looks kek

wooden compass
#

dont go support mode for wind-weak SR

#

(its good for Tetra tower but there's no Siren there)

#

just build DPS path

short marlin
wooden compass
#

ok support path is better for outside SR

hot axle
wooden compass
#

CS doesnt matter if there is no Siren

#

lol

rain heart
#

her problem is on burst, she's kinda mid tier DPS (think of Grave)

wooden compass
#

wdym Grave

hot axle
rain heart
#

she needs Siren in B1 to really make the most out of it (7 MG speed)

glossy portal
#

PrivatyT might fix that

rain heart
#

DPS

wooden compass
#

its slightly below Nayuta level

glossy portal
#

But until we get her kit

rain heart
#

I mean Grave's level of DPS

glossy portal
#

I am not coping

rain heart
#

not slightly, it's like 75% of Nayuta

wooden compass
#

Depends on comp

rain heart
#

and Nayuta is not known to be "high DPS" compared to elemental B3 either

hot axle
#

@rain heart would velvet have fit better as a 40s b3 instead of what her kit is now?

wooden compass
#

Is this Grave on what team and with what OL

#

4x crit dmg?

#

no one's getting that unless ur name is DON

wooden compass
#

actually

#

it doesnt matter

#

lmao

#

if she can B3 dps

#

shed be meta

rain heart
#

As B3 indeed

wooden compass
#

they tone her down by making her B2

rain heart
#

value will be bigger too

wooden compass
#

so u now have to work around with not having buffer B2

rain heart
#

and her value as off burst DPS is also insane

wooden compass
#

which is possible by using support B3

#

thing is

#

Velvet bursting is buffing Siren

#

so Siren doesnt lose anything

#

just use support B3

#

so u dont lose anything from not using buffer B2

#

this is da way

rain heart
#

interesting B2 for now, just keep her mid ranking until next treasure batch

wooden compass
#

that means no Susuka

rain heart
wooden compass
#

no ReiT

rain heart
#

I want a treasure that converts all dmg dealt to true dmg

wooden compass
#

She is S tier at least already right now

rain heart
#

so Frima the goat B1

wooden compass
#

im upping Maxwell

indigo prism

indigo prism
#

Whenever it's Wind content, I see Altros

quartz dragon
#

when Velvet bursts she's becomes the equivalent of roughly 2.8 MGs

rain heart
#

huh why 2.8

#

her burst is 30 shot per sec?

quartz dragon
#

40 rps is her weapons fire rate

rain heart
#

oh

wooden compass
#

oh we got scammed

quartz dragon
#

and it takes 50 shots to proc the 300 spend

rain heart
#

so although it said 60 fire rate, it's actually 40?

short marlin
wooden compass
#

is this from demo vid or release gameplay

#

the 40/s

#

I heard its 60/s somewhere

#

heh

quartz dragon
#

I might be recalling 30 fps testing, I'll need to double check that at 60 fps but I'm at work atm

wooden compass
#

40 + 40/50 * 300 = 280 shots per sec though
60 + 60/50 * 300 = 420 shots per sec

#

thats NOT 2.8 MG though

quartz dragon
#

if it is 60 rps then it's 4.2 MGs

#

which is also achievable not bursting, and not bursting can go over that

wooden compass
#

that's 4.67MG and 7 MG

#

which is higher than not bursting

#

where is 2.8 MG from?

indigo prism
#

Does this one from Velvet stack with basic MGs

#

Siren + MGs + Velvet tgt work ?

wooden compass
#

yes

quartz dragon
#

oh wait you are right, I divided wrong

#

so yes, it's more either way

wooden compass
#

bro divided by 100

rain heart
#

lemme test it really quick

#

3300 ammo spent

wooden compass
#

so 60/s

#

most likely

quartz dragon
#

yea, I was thinking of the 30 fps test

#

which for some reason brings her down to 40

wooden compass
#

so she cant hit the 12th trigger

#

only 11 triggers

#

sad

#

so its not 7 MG

#

its more like 60 * 10 + 300 * 11

#

3900

rain heart
#

yeah, only 2700 doable

wooden compass
#

3900/10 = 390/60 = 6.5MG

#

thats twice off burst Velvet

#

yeah so Siren "doesn't lose anything" from Velvet bursting

#

maybe she gets more

#

but the B3 will lose something

#

so time to send out them HelmTr (for crit buff why not)

quartz dragon
#

or just off burst crown with wasuka and wrei

wooden compass
#

that deals less damage

#

than Siren Velvet HelmTr XLud Crown

#

wait

#

no

#

yeah it did

rain heart
#

turn off all effect and numbers

#

still 2700

#

it's tover

wooden compass
#

10.42B

wooden compass
#

That's 1B difference

#

Siren becomes hyper DPS there

#

we've got XDiesel + Mihara funnel comps in Fire

#

now we've got Nayuta + Siren funnel comps in Wind

#

whats next

indigo prism
#

Release a new unit to buff 0.5 year old Pilgrim is crazy

#

Waiting for treasure

#

Also I love the way all Iron treasures for now are mostly useless/PvP

wooden compass
#

u want DeltaNT treasure?

#

already?

indigo prism
#

I mean upcoming treasure

wooden compass
#

Privaty will eat good

#

I bet

#

I feel like shes made for this team specifically

shell dew
#

is there a cn version of her?

wooden compass
#

we'll see

shell dew
#

if so she might get cucked

wooden compass
#

Privaty is one of the most popular B3

#

Helm was too

#

and was treated well

#

surely Privaty will too

shell dew
#

I hope moran gets a huge buff

#

and be playable in pve

rain heart
shell dew
#

same level of cope

rain heart
#

cd 40s => 20s

#

now you can use her in PVE as a protector now

wooden compass
#

@indigo prism Sorry to bother you but do u have DPS Velvet and built Label

indigo prism
#

i dont

#

No way I invest on Wind

#

Label is just 1/10/1 no OL

wooden compass
#

Me trying to find someone with both Velvet and Label:

quartz dragon
# wooden compass yeah it did

mm, looks like that matches my experience but at the same time my Velvet has like 30% ED and 14% atk, she's a 4x CS build so it's going to skew much more heavily towards support role vs dps role in my case so I assumed it was just due to that

rain heart
#

I mean, pulling her is not that hard

shell dew
#

my wasuka is bad but man ppl's wasuka's are worse

shell dew
rain heart
shell dew
#

make her buff attack based on her max hp

rain heart
#

like 60% ATK buff over 10s?

wooden compass
#

Velvet Comps

  • Wind-weak UR, Wind-weak Singular Team
    Siren Nayuta SBS Lib Velvet

  • Wind-weak SR
    Siren Velvet(Burst) HelmTr B3/XLud/PrivTr? Crown/Label(Burst)/RH B1/PrivTr?
    Siren Crown AsukaW ReiT Velvet -> if you don't have DPS Velvet, but this might cost you a lot of damage (we don't know yet)

#

Liter doesn't work because no caster's ATK buff (lmao).

#

Privaty's ammo cut can be harsh so be mindful.

upper citrus
#

Bursting Velvet only for wind weak sr?

wooden compass
obtuse comet
# rain heart I mean, pulling her is not that hard

She came right after pilgrim banner, so people who already blew their saving miss her, and people who do pull for her right after pilgrim won't have any left for velvet. As for those with crap ton of saving, they will likely skip on her

#

So yeah, people with both are.....quite rare

sinful tendon
#

I have both

#

One x10 pull each

#

I am low on skill books though

#

So Velvet is 4/7/4 right now

obtuse comet
#

He stole all my luck

charred needle
#

I spent 120 on label, no label.
Got broke.
Spent another 70-80 on velvet
Nothing.
Finally had to skip past a bunch of bond stories for 20 more pulls,
1 velvet

#

some people have it too easy and then there are suckers like me

rain heart
#

100 pulls + 200 golden tix for Velvet here

glossy portal

People are just not humble

#

rain heart
#

when will she have Treasure

charred needle
#

You’re ready for her treasure

rain heart

#

after eos

rain heart
#

Treasure is a system to make low pick rate char great again

#

Moran

#

Centi?

#

100% pick rate in PVP I don't even know how to say

mighty bone
#

Maybe its time to apologize to velvet

glossy portal
#

Make privaty great

#

And then give her a bunny skin

#

🤝

mighty bone
#

What could they realistically give privaty

#

Will they focus more on her support abilities or her offensive abilities

glossy portal
#

They will add something to her burst ig

mighty bone
#

A support b3 is kinda unique but we do have noir i suppose

#

Someone suggested cdr

#

Would that even make sense to give to a b3

charred needle
young bluff
mighty bone
#

Yeah but Helm is SU CEO's Wife

young bluff
#

you can get "qol" like tove that does do a bit more than that, barely anything/effectively nothing for others, or get helm

#

if it happened once i will not count it out from happening twice, especially with how popular privaty is

mighty bone
#

I said the same thing

#

And then unkind maid came out and she was dogshit

young bluff
#

...what

#

bad alone sure but many units exist that are fine with enablers, even though having something enable you means you need others to work

#

when she was released yeah ig she wasn't great, and then stuff came out to make her a real thing, until she got pushed out entirely. going from meh to good to unused isn't unique

mighty bone
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I just hope the treasure makes her relevant again and she doesnt end up like Milk or something

glossy portal
#

Milk was DoA

fading umbra
#

Only 3 Elemental lines on siren

glossy portal
#

3 Ele with low values on mine. Maybe I will fix her once the next wind SR comes around

swift flint
#

Velvet still mostly skip, or shift in thought?

glossy portal
#

She isn't doing anything outside of Wind Union and Solo Raids

mighty bone
#

Considering campaign is mostly solved at this point, only other content is essentially raid. She's a strong pick for such content so you might as well pull

normal verge
#

Privaty is like helm/drake in that they were all decent units.. they just got powercrept over time.. so its easy to buff them and make them relevant

On the other hand SU track record of turning straight up bad units into relevant meta units is pretty fkin awful..

Its why i was hoping nikke like dolla/sugar would get favorite items

sturdy trout
#

The whole treasure thing is just a plot to give good old designs a real kit so they can give it a gacha skin later

#

Nobody will buy a gacha skin for crow if she's trash but if she got a good enough treasure they might

shell dew
#

if treasure crow is the first SSSS tier nikke

#

she would sit lvl1 with no investemnt for me

bright crow
#

How fast does velvet charges burst with siren? Since she triggers her ammo spent skills

shell dew
golden knoll
#

1/10/1 sr5 no ol

less than 500m difff

#

Is she solid for Tetra tower? I don't have any tetra beside Milk properly invested.
What is the current best team for Tetra?
I wasn't hoping new year Anis will help with my tetra progress kekw

golden knoll
#

atleast no shitty counting to 3

a lot of shitty ol's are running around idk what to trust wahahaha

The 212 combo gets me every time

Or the 213

i pref to play one handed or 0 handed

#

turn brain off 2

random badger
shell dew
#

ok, she is just cheaper mmast for ur

#

and good for sr then

random badger
#

With that bullet pouch mechanic, would Velvet become some kind of pseudo MG when bursting?

shell dew
#

she already is

random badger
#

If that's the case, she could gain a major spot in tetra tower as a desperately needed MG Nikke.

shell dew
#

as a dps?

#

nah

random badger
#

Just burst with her when you need MG dps (i.e. in case of Glasses)

primal egret
#

just blanc glasses

random badger
#

What about her?

primal egret
#

glasses shield is effectively a damage reduction

#

guess what blanc's burst does

random badger
#

Increase damage taken.

primal egret
#

exactly

#

now you do more damage to glasses

Looks like Velvet does activate siren's bubbles

#

Her consuming her bullet pouch counts lol

#

Velvet actually a must pull for wind kekw

quaint bay
#

For top players, yeah. She's only a bit of an upgrade from Delta/M Mast, so not a must pull if anyone else already has those units invested delugiggle

dusty abyss
#

so just the usual 4/ele/att/ammo/cs ? ya?

quaint bay
dusty abyss
#

true

mighty bone
#

And mast can be used elsewhere

quaint bay
#

My point is that Velvet doesn't fulfill a unique role that can't be accomplished otherwise

#

Calling her a must pull is basically saying pull until you get her and use mileage if you still don't get her by 200. That's ridiculous kek

#

By that logic, Delta NT was a must pull since she was also better than M Mast delugiggle

#

M Mast is already used with Libby/SBS in SR anyway, so she's replacing Delta/Helm in that regard

#

It's only for UR where she's replacing Crown/M Mast, and that's assuming someone actually hits wind (and has a union that's either competitive enough or weak enough for that difference in hit strength to make a difference)

coarse kayak
#

150 and get 1 copy

#

Dog banner

quaint bay
#

Definitely an upgrade

#

Sadly this account didn't have the luck to get Delta, so can't test with her

#

Though I'd do that with Crown comp, anyway (which I'll test next)

quaint bay
#

That's an SR5 7/10/X Velvet. We're not supposed to burst with her, right?

bronze socket
#

what altros said earier u want cs lines and to manual her

#

to boost siren damage even more

quaint bay
quaint bay
#

She wants to full charge, no?

#

My runs were FA, so keep that in mind, I guess. At least, with FA, looks like Delta > Velvet for Crown comp in SR

bronze socket
#

if u ever manual helm vs auto

#

there is a noticable difference

quaint bay
#

Fair

bronze socket
#

look at pins

quaint bay
#

I fell like, depending on the boss, not manualling Siren would cause enough damage loss to make it go even

bronze socket
#

good thing this wind ur boss is auto friendly

quaint bay
#

Indeed YesNod

#

I'll hop on main in a bit and test vs Delta for SR NGE2 comp, though my main's wind units in general don't compare to my alt's

quaint bay
#

It wasn't way later mainwot

#

Treasure was in Jan 2025, and skin was in Feb 2025

#

Specifically January 13th for the treasure (Arcana event), and February 20th for the gacha skin (NGE2 event), with the seamaids event sandwiched between

hybrid elm
#

Viper got both at the same time

quaint bay
#

Yeah, Viper got both at same time because her treasure came out of nowhere KEKL

📑 Translated from Japanese

Velvet is amazing The ammo consumption from the Bullet Pouch becomes the trigger for "Siren's Ammo Consumption Skill," so Siren's skill activates at a frequency higher than MG Just placing her as a decoration makes Siren's skill activate at the frequency of 4 MGs during burst 😱 #NIKKE #ニケ

ohh.. it was alr sent here.

mb then

quaint bay
#

No problem delul

wooden compass
wooden compass
#

the damage difference from not building Velvet >>> DeltaT

#

DeltaT had Naga as alternative as it lined up with boss with core

#

So it was optional. she was not good anywhere else

#

Velvet can be used in Tetra Tower

#

has better future potential (if SU releases chg dmg units or we do 2+ funnel comps)

#

and is guaranteed to bring a lot of dmg in wind-weak assuming DPS built

#

if u build her as support = optional

#

if u build her as DPS (which u shud) = must for Wind weak

#

that optional only has DeltaT as replacement, which costs the same investment wise except Delta no need OL

#

with that Delta is down to B tier

hybrid elm
#

Give Missilis better tower option plz

wooden compass
#

What rank should Velvet be? A or S?
Should Maxwell be moved to S seeing her increasing use due to XDiesel + double funnel comps?

sturdy trout
#

delta needs crown to live

#

so if there's ever a team 1 that doesn't use crown you still go back go mmast if you only have delta

quaint bay
#

Use increasing? Maxwell's use (in SR, at least), hasn't seen a particular rise

quaint bay
#

Nor have I seen evidence of Velvet being good as a DPS unit yet

#

Looks like a bad unit who only has a spark of hope due to her mechanic luckily being usable by Siren

quaint bay
#

Yes, I'm the one who manages the SR usage spreadsheet for top 50 based on enikk.app numbers kek

wooden compass
#

its increasing

#

i use enikk

#

show trend separated by element

#

if u have the sheet

If you use world top 50, Viper looks like a better unit in water raids

these three are the leaders

Should anyone heavily invest in her as a result? No

wooden compass
#

barely compromise

quaint bay
#

That's basically useless information

wooden compass
#

its useful

quaint bay
#

For who?

#

People who already understand the deep meta of the game?

wooden compass
#

why follow someone who compromises?

quaint bay
#

If you want to make a sheet that only states the obvious, go for it kek

#

Not that hard to figure out which units will make the best paper math

#

My objective is to aid people in economically investing, so having top 50 from all servers is superior data

#

Bready had 100% usage in world top 50, but her usage drops to 87% in the all servers top 50 because Bready's edge over SBS isn't significant enough to warrant heavy investment in her for the majority of players

#

Better to invest heavily in SBS for wind raids and just wait for Bready to get powercrept by Pilgrims heh

#

Velvet is same story. She'll probably end up mandatory for top players but a waste of gems, skill mats, doll mats, and gear exp for most

#

That's also my basis for comparing her to Delta NT. She seems just as easily replaceable akkoShrug

wooden compass
#

When everyone skips Velvet, build Velvet because it's easier to rank.

#

So, it's the reverse.

#

DeltaNT is way more replaceable.

#

Velvet will stay for a long time.

wooden compass
#

If the person can infer well, sure, but there is also more noise due to compromise.

quaint bay
#

Let's use NGE2 as the hypothetical for the strength level of the upcoming collab. Would you rather invest in Wasuka or Velvet first?

wooden compass
#

Skip the element instead

signal cape
normal verge
#

She's like 5th or 6th best wind dps and buffs/works well with a unit which will be a staple in Wind teams/SR until game EOS.. easy pull if you give a shit about wind SR.. not like wind has a huge pool of units to draw from either.. especially as SBS/LIB are forced together

#

oh and dear god i hope that collab wont have wind units.. almost as mid as Resi Evil.. actually that's unfair to revil.. its far better

wooden compass
#

@quartz dragon what are her breakpoints

sturdy trout
quaint bay
#

She doesn't seem to be competing with Siren, Nayuta, SBS, Liberalio, or Wasuka, so that checks out

#

Looked like she was ReiTN tier if you actually stuff rocks into her

golden knoll
#

Who has leftover rocks

sturdy trout
#

you'd probably rather run neutral when your team 4 option is this or mana/ssakura

it's like water before water got a year of actually good units

the "least-cost" CS lines to get maximum possible charge time reduction is 1x T13, 2x T14, 1x T15, but I highly doubt anyone is going to minmax her CS to that extent

11 of it, so optimal manual can bring the delay from 24 > 13

I thought it was 0.3s delay

when did it turn to 0.4

quartz dragon
#

it used to be 11 frames each

#

idk when it changed to 12

#

but I verified the cover timings are now 200 ms each now, I had to use reload speed buffs of all things to do it ICANT

quartz dragon
#

yea, I guess to be exact the timing is now somewhere between like 190~195ms

#

but either way that pushes it up to 12 frames at 60 fps

unless of course that was a mistake and its been reverted since I found that a few months ago keknuke

#

I'll have to retest it to confirm it since SU loves to just randomly change low level things without saying anything

those numbers were 60 fps

Pull at end of banner after we've seen the LycoReco kits KEKL

#

You're probably not running siren SBS lib velvet in SR since Eva2 exists

#

She's great in UR but who cares about UR

quaint bay
#

Yeah, the only runs I saw of Velvet with the actual Siren/Crown comp had her losing damage overall sip

sturdy trout
#

Siren crown Eva velvet?

#

Siren SBS velvet should be at least even unless your siren is a poo

#

But obviously you have no team 2 if you do that

quaint bay
#

I didn't try bursting with Velvet and Crown off-burst, which is what I saw people doing in here to get "high" personal damage on Velvet. The total damage dropped tho

#

Though considering it took me 120-170 pulls to get Velvet on all five accounts, I'm also just pretty salty kek

#

If people can lucksacc her in like 30 pulls, sure, she's worth it

#

but I'm willing to bet top 200 outside of JP/KR is possible without her hup

#

and who knows, next wind-weak SR could be 2027

dusty abyss
#

as lucksacc yea she worth

#

but she really is zzz

primal egret
#

if you use mmast on wind hits yes

#

if you don't then no

it depends on your own units

SBS does slightly less but siren gets a big increase

if off burst OL seems pretty minimal

In shooting range, I went from 23 bil to 25 bil

sturdy trout
#

might be SR meta in a year if wind gets enough units to put siren in a team with charge units without bricking your eva2 team

#

i'm probably just running delta in eva team

#

so she has no place

#

she might be good as b2 dps for team 4 to break qte if you 10/10/10 12/12 her but why not just run a neutral

#

especially with miranda sw and sg basically being free in terms of team building

wooden compass
#

Ur as support, sr as dps with siren (but not EVA 2)

#

Look for pics around

#

They hypercarry beat EVA 2

#

Considerably

#

Siren Velvet HelmTr XLud Crown is 10% stronger than Siren Velvet EVA2 Crown, both invested. Crown Burst variant is worse for both.

#

RH B1 variant is around 6-10% worse, Label B1 should be less maybe 4-5%

quartz dragon
#

yea, only issue I have with that is that helm treasure/x lud are also among the supportive B3s that would go with miranda/nayuta comp, though not everyone will invest nayuta to the point of running that comp

#

I think Velvet is a unit that will ultimately be meta in wind-weak SR as well, I think we just don't have all the units that will be part of that actual team yet

sturdy trout
#

thats what i said

#

if you give velvet siren helm xlud crown she's probably great but then what do you give to your eva2

wooden compass
#

Dont forget

#

That team doesn't need heal anw alr got Nayu

wooden compass
#

Privtr probably fixes this

#

Rrh crown Asuka w reit/swha ada was my thought

#

Bade also works

#

I think swha better here

#

But on wind sr we will get new DPS anw

#

Takina chisato could be wind

#

Shotgun team will be gone

#

It has no wind dps

#

Unless takina chisato count as shotguns

#

It's probably AR

#

Hmm

#

Swha could go with Miran Nayuta too but I wont comment on this

#

HelmTr Maxwell < XDiesel Maxwell for Nayuta imo, at least from overall team dmg.

#

27% atk dmg 2 rots, vs 25% dmg taken one rot

#

Xdiesel gives more dmg, Nayuta loses dmg I think

imagine both LycoReco units are handguns and Jill-tier

velvet 0 OL 7-10-7 vs mmast 10-10-10 full OL?

this is union raid only setup

she's off burst, but yes frees up mast

for any other team

primal egret
#

very good synergy with siren and nayuta like tollkage said and buffs lib more but SBS does do less compared to using MMast

sturdy trout
#

she doesn't buff allies when she bursts RougeStare

#

you have to choose one

shell dew
primal egret
#

oh right weapon change but still a good dps if on burst

#

pretty flexible unit though and in terms of being a support minimal investment type it's as cheap as you can get

shell dew
#

on burst she is 7? mg I think

#

so more dps for siren too

primal egret
#

yeah just no charge damage buff

shell dew
#

no caster att too

sturdy trout
shell dew
#

can you elaborate ?

#

I don't get it

sturdy trout
# shell dew I don't get it

off burst version is good with siren nayuta sbs lib because she buffs all of them pretty well but you're not running that team in SR

#

on burst at least works with siren + eva2 but you need to build her properly

shell dew
#

in neut maybe she is cooked because no way you use wind dps b2

#

if we get a miranda wind dps

#

that frees the nayuta, you can nayuta/siren/velvet for a free wind team

#

with neut b3's as the worse case

sturdy trout
#

Yeah it's a wind DPS situation

#

You really want siren, nayuta and SBS+lib to be in three separate teams but velvet wants them all together

shell dew
#

velvet can ignore sbs lib

sturdy trout
shell dew
#

probably we still use maids

#

in sr

sturdy trout
#

In SR sure

shell dew
#

are we talking about hitting wind twice in ur

#

I'm confused

sturdy trout
#

She's very good in UR begs you can run all 5 wind DPS together

shell dew
#

kinda tired so I might have missed some points

#

but sbs is married to maids for total damage

#

so velvet can still join any siren team for flex

sturdy trout
#

The best velvet siren team seems to be with Eva 2 but that requires her to burst and that's expensive

shell dew
#

why would it

sturdy trout
#

I'm sure you can let crown burst and have her off burst and not lose too much damage I guess

#

People are saying off burst crown with burst velvet does better damage than the other way around

shell dew
#

"velvet" does more

#

and nukes wasuka's dps

sturdy trout
#

I'm sure the difference isn't big so you can go either way

shell dew
#

also her dps is still decent with s1 because burs also loses s1 buffs

sturdy trout
#

But if you're running her off burst and she only buffs siren it seems kind of a waste

#

Her attack share is poo

shell dew
#

flex slot 1.3 mg for burstgen and like 10-20% ish siren dps buff

sturdy trout
#

Especially since you're throwing helm crown away for this

#

Obviously freeing helm for team 3 has some value too

shell dew
#

on an ideal world you run helm and a new b3 on miranda but thats kinda ScarletCopium

sturdy trout
#

Also that team runs her with crown which means delta is an option

#

And delta actually helps wasuka

shell dew
#

if we had someone who invested on dsp velvet and delta

#

snake asked but we found no one

sturdy trout
shell dew
#

tbh if we get a b2 that buffs mg's or winds

#

crown can be freed

sturdy trout
#

Even if she beats delta version it's probably not by a lot and I'm not sure you want to pull and build a unit just to marginally improve team 2

shell dew
#

at that point its delta level of investment

#

1/10/1 vs 10/1/1

#

maybe if you wanna use some more wit 7/10 and 1-2 lines

#

because we know your siren should be good

sturdy trout
#

Yeah but if you already have a built delta you're probably also book broke from 2 wind 10/10/10 units in a row + 10/10/10 pilgrim right after

shell dew
#

tbh we still lacked delta teams on last sr

#

so I can say at least half of the high score's didn't

#

yeah just above half

sturdy trout
#

I'm not sure if water raid inflates or deflates delta stats

shell dew
#

thats wind

sturdy trout

fallow delta

Well that’s cool too

#

Since I wanted to put velvet in my team this is perfect

But now I gotta build her

primal egret
#

if you don't want to manual Velvet difference was about 1.8b afking on Siren instead

fallow delta
#

Yeah I’m lazy I’m just gonna auto🤣

primal egret
#

if you plan to use her off burst then you can stick to 1/10/1

#

honestly velvet is great for how cheap she is to run

quartz dragon
#

it's worth noting that off-burst Velvet might not always be better than maid mast

#

in my testing, she is roughly parity to, if not worse than, maid mast if the boss has no core

#

which makes sense, the units she benefits the most in the mono-wind team is Siren and Nayuta, whose charge damage bonus would be scaled by core being present, if there is no core than the crit bonus from maid mast starts to overtake it as she also benefits siren

wooden compass
#

Offburst Velvet = Support
Onburst Velvet = Support for Siren only + DPS

#

Siren gains more dmg from Onburst Velvet than offburst

#

Auto is 3.6, auto burst is 6.5, so 2.9mg difference from 9mg current best comp. That is around 34% tdm (from S2, excl. Basic attack)

#

Ig if u use BAde, Siren still deals more there with 2 MG but...

umbral widget
#

is on burst or offburst Dorosex better tho

#

what has highest jps

umbral widget
#

gotta get them stats up

glossy portal
#

Don't even bother using velvet as an On-burst DPS with no atk or ele

acoustic wing
quartz dragon
#

the cheapest optimal cs spread for Velvet is 1x 5.51%, 2x 5.80%, 1x 6.09%. You can have at most 1x 5.51% and at most 2x 5.80%, any more of either of those lines and you will be rounding down. But chasing the maximum possible charge time reduction on Velvet is kind of silly when it's possible that she only meaningfully beats out maid mast if there is core available.

acoustic wing

im wind main and would love to see all the more dmg siren gets thats why i got curious to maximum potential 😉

thx btw, got one 6,09 atm

fallow delta

Lmao velvet not even s tier on prydwen

heady wigeon

She's good, but for wind
She's meta for wind actually

#

Must pull if you have to hit wind in UR, or have to play wind SR

#

Otherwise skippable

fallow delta
#

Just figured she’d be higher since she’s like BiS 5th slot for the wind team

#

But understandable I guess

heady wigeon
#

We put a cap on element-specific units at A tier

fallow delta
#

That makes sense

heady wigeon
#

A tier isn't bad at all, as far as we are concerned moving forwards

glossy portal
#

People need to stop thinking that just because they are not S they are bad

#

If a new player were to ask me if they should build velvet I would certainly say no

quaint bay
#

S and higher is for units that can realistically do the entire game for you (minus PvP)

#

That's crazy good

#

A is still fine, just not worth investing until you have a strong core

#

New players shoudn't being wasting rocks on her, but vets in competitive unions basically NEED her

A stands for average right Kappa

heady wigeon

Uni told me B is average sadge

heady wigeon
#

So not necessarily

#

For me at least

#

Also velvet doesn't necessarily work either

#

You need a good siren

Nayuta helps as well

Cuz for a badly invested siren, pretty sure MMast is better

#

Can confirm. I have a poorly built Siren myself and Velvet helped me reach stage 7 in Kraken 5-6 seconds slower than using Mast.

opaque flicker
#

isnt she legit just a wind code boss character

#

aka fire weak

quaint bay
#

She's stronger than Crown/Grave in fire, and her burst is still good, even outside of fire-weak thonk

#

and in fire-weak, she can be slotted in any comp as long as B1 takes care of CDR

#

Meanwhile Velvet has to be with Siren basically

#

Velvet has seriously prospects to become stronger, but the current roster works against her

#

Particularly, as long as NG2 sticks with Crown, Velvet causes problems. If SU gives us new charge-based wind DPS units that can match/surpass Wasuka/Rei, they'll get kicked to a lower comp and Velvet will probably deserve a tier-up to S

#

TL;DR: Brid is good no matter your roster, while Velvet is a skip if you don't have Siren delul

#

(at least, that's my interpretation; I cannot speak for any of the main tier lists, as I am not involved with their creation delutehe )

opaque flicker
#

yeah that was the logic i came up with as well, she may be someone whos fire only but shes the best at it no matter what whereas velvet might not be depending

#

the thing with that as well is wouldnt u wanna rate a character at top preformance kinda like an alice

#

shes kinda mid if not used manual

#

but yeah i dont know all the ins and outs of it so lol

Isabel is good but she breaks the shotgun team by taking tove

Wind is in a nice spot so i pray SU doesn't force the new colalb units to be bad/wind units..
