#[Velvet] New Unit Megathread
1 messages · Page 3 of 1
Yes
Give me liberation rework. PLEASE
Yes
Ig now with velvet this makes an "independent" wind team too that could be decent in SR neutral ?
🤤🤤🤤🤤
Neutral SR teams should be dead by the mid of this year
Never 
Not everyone has the invest to have good ele on all specific units for each ele
it's all I have to look forward to aside from main story updates and anni events
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
Siren/Crown/Wasuka/Rei/Velvet unless next feature has better synergy somehow
No point having Helm there
more damage if velvet is bursting
neutral is kinda bad unless ur missing units
u can see siren/nayuta priority drop pretty harshly when neutral
with regards to how much ur worried about their dmg
As f2p is hard to be competitive on all ele anyways
Even for whales
I mean, element advantage trump mlb
im back
stronger than asukaw comp lol
do u have Label invested?
no i skipped
O_o
tried a team 5 against Blacksmith
Xlud Siren Nayuta Mihara
last slot Red Hood vs Velvet
Velvet clapped Red by 400m

damn
Hugs
guess in short she was like chime to siren?
Siren Treasure
セイレーンのトリガーにできるとは…聞いてない…!
久しぶりの日付変更後の投稿
前回のレーベルもそうでしたが想定外の仕様があると動画を作る時間が一気に増えてしまって…
日付変更前には上げたかったんですがかなり強いってこともあってこの時間...
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 
Wat is this
It is this pretty much translated
I only need this
How to decipher this even
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
Already announced it is
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)
thats rubbish move, oh well
so uh now we have to manual her so that auto don't do the whole retract animation?
if you allow her to auto with that much CS, she instead equivalent to around 4.3 MGs
wat about with no CS? 3 MGs?
4.2 MGs no CS w/ manual play
3.6 MGs no CS on auto
so tldr is to look for ele attack cs max ammo?
for budget, cs and few max ammo is enough? 
this is also comparing against MGs at 60 fps, her ratio will be higher at 30 fps (co-op)
also is SR5 doll enough? I went and burned most of my stash on centi and privaty
as even with MFRA, MGs only shoot 54 rps at 30 fps
Yes
her attack buff isn't that huge, and if you're using her to support siren then her personal damage goes down the toilet
yeah, i need to save my resource, especially with big update incoming
more doll levels would be marginally more attack and survivability
Ideal is 4 ele 4 cs 3 attack 1 max ammo?
no clue what her ideal is
From the video above
Red = On burst DPS
Green = off-burst support (siren treasure)
she a bit of an oddball in that she has 2 potential build paths
next update beside of 4 new treasure, there's likely going to be 2 new alt 
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
or 2 new limited collab?
Velvet didnt burst there
at least they cook something interesting this year
i don't think so, i bet collab is like on april or something
it's first half of the year after all
you do realize half anni is at the end of that month
I'd want it to be in June
it should share dmg reduction and def of Label
i forgot actually 
which makes her SS tier DPS in PVP 
then march
Siren Velvet HelmTr B3 Crown/Label(Burst)/RH B1 is the best still.
or may
that would be right after half anni, or at the very least after the event after half anni
Not fully correct because she's likely used as DPS in Wind-weak, where you'd support Siren anyway.
And you can work around low ammo with reload speed.
either way, next update is going to be the big one, so i try not to carelessly spend my resource atm
That's why I wanted PrivatyTr + Crown at first.

Max reload speed.
7/7/7
Can go 4 ELE, 4 ATK, 4 CS.
not like you lose much lol
and if we're lucky, 1 max ammo on privaty in full burst
Sooo is velvet worth pulling? Or is it a waifu pull
Only need 11% cs
Also can do XLud instead of Privy, and it's not that bad to reload for a bit.
So 1 of those can be max ammo
is worth 1 copy
everything else is minmax stat or waifu
Breakpoints are for guaranteed targets with perfect manual.
I will personally go for 3x cs x1 ammo
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.
maybe like 7/10/x?
And u cycle in <2.5-3s.
we have OC like 5 seasons now
4 is literally free nowadays 
avoids using level 3 skill materials
tried, dmg looks eh
Just go 10/10/10 then
okay
7/10/7 here actually
her burst is not bad
Just get 4 ELE 4 ATK 4 CS
let's just hope there isn't a collab anytime soon
like in Wind weak, you burst Mast maid/Anchor maid
Nayuta
Crown
and without Siren, bursting her looks kek
dont go support mode for wind-weak SR
(its good for Tetra tower but there's no Siren there)
just build DPS path

ok support path is better for outside SR
but muh Alice and BMilk
her problem is on burst, she's kinda mid tier DPS (think of Grave)
wdym Grave
Grave still gives team buff
she needs Siren in B1 to really make the most out of it (7 MG speed)
PrivatyT might fix that
DPS
its slightly below Nayuta level
But until we get her kit
I mean Grave's level of DPS
I am not coping
sure ig
not slightly, it's like 75% of Nayuta
Depends on comp
and Nayuta is not known to be "high DPS" compared to elemental B3 either
@rain heart would velvet have fit better as a 40s b3 instead of what her kit is now?
She is higher than Grave
Is this Grave on what team and with what OL
4x crit dmg?
no one's getting that unless ur name is DON
No
actually
it doesnt matter
lmao
if she can B3 dps
shed be meta
they tone her down by making her B2
value will be bigger too
so u now have to work around with not having buffer B2
and her value as off burst DPS is also insane
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
interesting B2 for now, just keep her mid ranking until next treasure batch
that means no Susuka

no ReiT
She is S tier at least already right now
im upping Maxwell

she still buffs siren but it's a reduced amount compared to not bursting
Whenever it's Wind content, I see Altros
when Velvet bursts she's becomes the equivalent of roughly 2.8 MGs
Bursting buffs more
40 rps is her weapons fire rate
oh
oh we got scammed
and it takes 50 shots to proc the 300 spend

is this from demo vid or release gameplay
the 40/s
I heard its 60/s somewhere
heh
I might be recalling 30 fps testing, I'll need to double check that at 60 fps but I'm at work atm
40 + 40/50 * 300 = 280 shots per sec though
60 + 60/50 * 300 = 420 shots per sec
thats NOT 2.8 MG though
if it is 60 rps then it's 4.2 MGs
which is also achievable not bursting, and not bursting can go over that
yes
bro divided by 100
yea, I was thinking of the 30 fps test
which for some reason brings her down to 40
so she cant hit the 12th trigger
only 11 triggers
sad
so its not 7 MG
its more like 60 * 10 + 300 * 11
3900
yeah, only 2700 doable
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)
or just off burst crown with wasuka and wrei
Siren Velvet Wasuka WRei Crown?
that deals less damage
than Siren Velvet HelmTr XLud Crown

wait
no
yeah it did
10.42B
11.32 B
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
DeltaT powercreep
second fastest after Rem

Waiting for treasure
Also I love the way all Iron treasures for now are mostly useless/PvP
is there a cn version of her?
we'll see
if so she might get cucked
Privaty is one of the most popular B3
Helm was too
and was treated well
surely Privaty will too

same level of cope
@indigo prism Sorry to bother you but do u have DPS Velvet and built Label
Me trying to find someone with both Velvet and Label:
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
unicorn hunt
my wasuka is bad but man ppl's wasuka's are worse
more like crown level buffs from b1 

make her buff attack based on her max hp
Ada
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.
Bursting Velvet only for wind weak sr?
why wud u burst with her outside
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
I have both
One x10 pull each
I am low on skill books though
So Velvet is 4/7/4 right now
Mods! Arrest this guy for cheating
He stole all my luck
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
I was on a 130 streak without a single ssr since label
People are just not humble
Hurts just thinking about it
first 30 pulls I max Epinel
Congrats
when will she have Treasure
You’re ready for her treasure

after eos
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
Maybe its time to apologize to velvet
What could they realistically give privaty
Will they focus more on her support abilities or her offensive abilities
They will add something to her burst ig
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
"realistic" isn't the word to use when helm exists
Yeah but Helm is SU CEO's Wife
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
...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
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I just hope the treasure makes her relevant again and she doesnt end up like Milk or something
Milk was DoA
3 Ele with low values on mine. Maybe I will fix her once the next wind SR comes around
Velvet still mostly skip, or shift in thought?
If you dont care about wind skip
She isn't doing anything outside of Wind Union and Solo Raids
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
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
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
if treasure crow is the first SSSS tier nikke
she would sit lvl1 with no investemnt for me
How fast does velvet charges burst with siren? Since she triggers her ammo spent skills
she is 1.3 mg, can't solo feed the burst gen
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 
atleast no shitty counting to 3
are your b3's cracked or is it a mid siren
a lot of shitty ol's are running around idk what to trust 
Would you rather count to 3 or break ur brain with rouge+ rhb1
The 212 combo gets me every time
Or the 213
Really, all the tetra team needs is a MG Nikke to complete it.

With that bullet pouch mechanic, would Velvet become some kind of pseudo MG when bursting?
she already is
If that's the case, she could gain a major spot in tetra tower as a desperately needed MG Nikke.
Just burst with her when you need MG dps (i.e. in case of Glasses)
just blanc glasses
What about her?
Increase damage taken.
Where is my Alice treasure sir
Follow your heart
tried in UR boss, also <500m diff, velvet is now oled tho
siren no dmg diff

33.1 vs 32.8

1 hand gameplay tho

Looks like Velvet does activate siren's bubbles
Her consuming her bullet pouch counts lol
Velvet actually a must pull for wind 
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 
so just the usual 4/ele/att/ammo/cs ? ya?

true
Nah, you always need 5 teams
And mast can be used elsewhere
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 
By that logic, Delta NT was a must pull since she was also better than M Mast 
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)
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)
yeah don't burst with her in that hyper wind team
what altros said earier u want cs lines and to manual her
to boost siren damage even more
Manual? 
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
yes but auto delays full charging
if u ever manual helm vs auto
there is a noticable difference
Fair
look at pins
I fell like, depending on the boss, not manualling Siren would cause enough damage loss to make it go even

Indeed 
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
She already has a gacha skin so never ever
Helm
shes not getting one cause were gonna get overspec alice
Helm got a gacha skin after her treasure 
So......that means you have 200 mileage

Wasn't it like same patch
It wasn't way later 
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
Viper got both at the same time
Yeah, Viper got both at same time because her treasure came out of nowhere 
https://fixupx.com/arcana0993/status/2016804169626304520/en some experiment from JP bro
📑 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

No problem 
Bros late
Now thats different
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
Give Missilis better tower option plz
What rank should Velvet be? A or S?
Should Maxwell be moved to S seeing her increasing use due to XDiesel + double funnel comps?
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
Use increasing? Maxwell's use (in SR, at least), hasn't seen a particular rise
Yeah, and so far the only evidence I've seen of Velvet being good is in a comp that won't even be used in SR

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
You sure
Yes, I'm the one who manages the SR usage spreadsheet for top 50 based on enikk.app numbers 
its increasing
i use enikk
show trend separated by element
if u have the sheet
I don't have it set up to split by element atm (that's a good idea tho, so I'll add that)
world top 50
I do top 50 by all servers for wider sample
Water Fire Wind Electric Iron
Recent is how many
5
Depends on the objective
If you use world top 50, Viper looks like a better unit in water raids
Should anyone heavily invest in her as a result? No
barely compromise
its useful
why follow someone who compromises?
If you want to make a sheet that only states the obvious, go for it 
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 
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 
I disagree with this.
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.
Some units benefit from this but some don't.
If the person can infer well, sure, but there is also more noise due to compromise.
Then you just get rekt next raid because you don't have the mats (or potentially even the pulls) for the actual raid features

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

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
@quartz dragon what are her breakpoints
What do you mean 5th or 6th best wind DPS
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
i mean that's more of a absolute state thing
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
I mean, she doesn't really have breakpoints unless we want to set arbitrary goals
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
I mean that's what she is? also she buffs one of winds better damage dealers ontop of it..
I am not gonna min max rei but i doubt that
guaranteed 11 shots within 10s
regardless of precharging
if with precharging whats the minimum for auto
ok not 11 shots
more like
wait how fast is her interval
on auto it's her charging frames + 24 frames at 60 fps
charging frames with just CS from OLs will range from 45 to 59 (0 CS lines)
manual can skip this 24?
not fully ofc
11 of it, so optimal manual can bring the delay from 24 > 13
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 
Auto nerf
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 
I'll have to retest it to confirm it since SU loves to just randomly change low level things without saying anything
btw just to confirm are the numbers I pinned from your messages correct still at 60FPS
those numbers were 60 fps
my fumble with 60 fps was for specifically when she's bursting as I forgot she wasn't also 40 rps at 60 fps 
ah
and then dividing by 100 instead of 60 for her bursting calculations 
I can haz this Korean Link plz?
No sheet?
So is velvet worth pulling?
If you have Siren, yes
I still think she's bait
Pull at end of banner after we've seen the LycoReco kits 
You're probably not running siren SBS lib velvet in SR since Eva2 exists
She's great in UR but who cares about UR
Yeah, the only runs I saw of Velvet with the actual Siren/Crown comp had her losing damage overall 
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
Yup, my quick testing put Velvet barely above Helm as off-burst, which means Delta would actually achieve higher numbers
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 
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 
and who knows, next wind-weak SR could be 2027
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
siren fraud
Most ppl i have seen a few bills but i only got less than 500m

1/10/1 sr5 no ol velvet
Not everyone has asuka 🤦♂️
Velvet hotter anyway
In shooting range, I went from 23 bil to 25 bil
she's UR meta
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
UR and sr meta
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%
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
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
Xdiesel maxwell
Dont forget
That team doesn't need heal anw alr got Nayu
A team 5 with crown or if no crown is fine
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
Drama
velvet 0 OL 7-10-7 vs mmast 10-10-10 full OL?
which unit should i use for wind UR?
7/10/X off-burst Velvet will outperform M Mast easily
Somehow I got 3 charge speed lines on the 3rd line already
The game wants me to go full siren support 
Can someone Tl;dr wtf this units does?
I'm too smooth brained for this shit
I can only understand units like liter
she contributes to siren's passive damage, also buffing nayuta with charge dmg buff
So maids are free now?
this is union raid only setup
she's off burst, but yes frees up mast
for any other team
Offburst = big DPS support for Siren and charge damage units
On burst = good DPS + above shit
very good synergy with siren and nayuta like tollkage said and buffs lib more but SBS does do less compared to using MMast
I chose 1/10/1 for saved books Pog
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
yeah just no charge damage buff
no caster att too
that's fine but it kinda cooks her SR
?
can you elaborate ?
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
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
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
velvet can ignore sbs lib

In SR sure
you said sr huh
are we talking about hitting wind twice in ur
I'm confused
She's very good in UR begs you can run all 5 wind DPS together
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
The best velvet siren team seems to be with Eva 2 but that requires her to burst and that's expensive
why would it
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
nah I saw them
"velvet" does more
and nukes wasuka's dps
I'm sure the difference isn't big so you can go either way
also her dps is still decent with s1 because burs also loses s1 buffs
But if you're running her off burst and she only buffs siren it seems kind of a waste
Her attack share is poo
flex slot 1.3 mg for burstgen and like 10-20% ish siren dps buff
Especially since you're throwing helm crown away for this
Obviously freeing helm for team 3 has some value too
on an ideal world you run helm and a new b3 on miranda but thats kinda 
Also that team runs her with crown which means delta is an option
And delta actually helps wasuka
if we had someone who invested on dsp velvet and delta
snake asked but we found no one

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

Delta is not overloadwd but skill is max
27,985m vs 26,630m for me on fingers
Is she better than MMast on kraken team?
Oh I could just look right above
Looks like she might be better since team is almost doing the same damage at lower investment
manual velvet don't be lazy
I did 
anyways to add to this
MMast vs manual Velvet was a 2.8b difference
Damn so MMast still better?
I’m assuming for kraken team
other way around
on UR Hard level 3 Fingers
Well that’s cool too
Since I wanted to put velvet in my team this is perfect
But now I gotta build her
if you don't want to manual Velvet difference was about 1.8b afking on Siren instead
Yeah I’m lazy I’m just gonna auto🤣
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
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
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...
onburst velvet really has to account for her own dmg tho
gotta get them stats up
Around how much CS% if i may ask? Because i only remember/ heard about 11% cs + which way of manual is ideal?
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.
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
Lmao velvet not even s tier on prydwen
That does not mean she's bad
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
Just figured she’d be higher since she’s like BiS 5th slot for the wind team
But understandable I guess
We put a cap on element-specific units at A tier
That makes sense
A tier isn't bad at all, as far as we are concerned moving forwards
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
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 
Uni told me B is average 
Next month I think only half the union will be hitting wind 
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
Whats ideal play style for velvet?
True. Unfortunately, I always give my B1s a lot of love, so I have no weaj Sirens to test 
same as manual helm
well just full charge always tho
don't need to spam at all
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.
then how come brid is in S?
isnt she legit just a wind code boss character
aka fire weak
She's stronger than Crown/Grave in fire, and her burst is still good, even outside of fire-weak 
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 
(at least, that's my interpretation; I cannot speak for any of the main tier lists, as I am not involved with their creation
)
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
all good
I'm a compulsive sorter, so I actually use separate tier lists based on core and element, so I grade units entirely differently than the all-in-one style tier lists

I think this is a good description I will use thanks
Since I don't think beginners shud invest in SAnis and Maiden
time to drop them to A

Maxwell though is also late game niche meta across 3 elements hmm
No problem.
I actually have very specific criteria for how I select tiers, as I don't like to bother with moving units that much
Can share more in DMs if you're interested (lmk if so, as I need to get motivated about updating them anyway
), but I'll spare everyone that here since it'll end up off-topic 
Kigitsune, the ever reliable yapper
I usually don't talk a lot, but I know my hyperfixations 
Velvet kinda trash to roll?
If you're a casual player only interested in top 3% at best, you can skip without stressing
If you're competitive, grab a copy as long as it's not breaking your bank
(although, if you're competitive and haven't pulled yet, UR is already over, so just wait until we get the collab banner kits to verify if they're Jill-tier or Wasuka-tier and pull on last day based on that) 
Good characters that may never come back > character that can spook you anytime 
Especially if LycoReco girls aren't wind 
Wind is tied for least number of (SSR) collab units 
this req diesel or just mihara rapi?
I haven't found a combination where she doesn't win out

And that's compared to this Grave
For UR, my best damage comp was Rapi/X Brid/Rei/X Diesel/Mihara 
(obviously for SR she's in SG comp)
she beat my grave too, except core/pierce buff in museum
Ah yeah, if pierce is viable, then I could see Grave winning 
And of course, Crown provides better defence than both
Yeah but they got the good ones
Waters strongest Collab unit is rem
w
ter
Water got jorked for a year
It's not poo anymore
Also it got the hottest girl in the game
Well maybe second
Liberalio ass and feet still solos
found 1, but i think dmg gap cuz my mihara has low ammo
but in 1 1 3 line up, crown always lose
did uni have SSS grade tho
when are unis going to catch up with the times
and just measure how good ur grade is by how many S u get

C was average at my uni 
Man, if I had a classmate with Konomi Kohara's voice, I would've proposed on the spot 
wait moron is there too

Just wait until favorite item 
maybe time for new electric wave soon
electro is kind of garbage propped up by cinderella so it would be really funny if it becomes the new collab check element after wind finally got some competent units beyond sbs
electric is in a very wierd/bad spot.. probably the worse.. garbage collab units.. Cindy is still good but power kinda waning compared to SW, Rapi.. Then you have units like Isabel/Scarlet that need a personal support that does nothing outside of that.. Scarlet last electric raid wasn't even good either.. 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.. Doesn't have a ton of units.. but between SBS, Lib, Nayuta, Siren, Asuka, Rei, Velvet its pretty solid.. can maybe add bunnies in there.. Stuff like mana/sakura are so whatever i am not sure if u even need them invested
I still break out my invested mana whenever I can 
i think she got used last raid.. don't think Sakura did tho.. but my memory is bad so could be wrong
more like isabel IS the SG team
breaks shotgun team by taking tove as a shotgun 
How are you gonna run doro
Mana 88% top 50 world, 72.7% all servers
S Sakura 52% top 50 world, 40.7% all servers
S Sakura was used in the Nayuta comp, while Mana was in Cindy comp
Helm was the main substitute for S Sakura, hence her lower %
Wysi
Mana is like the fifth best wind B3 dps
Her only having 88% use rate in the giga whale bracket is not very good

9th best 
Liberalio SBS
Siren Nayuta
Wasuka ReiTN
S Sakura Velvet
Mana
Used to be
Mana is better than SSakura sometimes
And whats Velvet doing in 8th
Shes better than Wasooka or better than ReiTN
Until I see testing that proves that, I'm not believing it 
Seems at best equal to ReiTN
Nowhere close to Wasuka
Least sure, but they have quite a number of nuclear bombs
So, anyone got her to 4x atk 4x ele already?
no but I've seen the numbers from someone that does
Not 4 attack but close

some dark mode extension
Lol

















better tho
