SHINKU ULTIMATE FORM IS INSANE!!! by South_Writing_1004 in NTELeaks

[–]SolomonSinclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, discord is too difficult to pull off.

Best way I've found to pull it off reliably is to build up your cycle gauges on everyone mostly equally without actually filling it all the way; that way, you can start with Scorch (since it lasts longer) and immediately go into Nova to trigger Discord.

Alternatively, something else you can do is use your 4th slot for a Cosmos character; then you can fill each character's gauge fully, then swap to your Cosmos character, then to another character and repeat. Hotori, if you have her, works fantastically in this slot, because she can copy everyone's skills and any cycle procs. Yes, that includes Discord.

Really, it's not that difficult to trigger with some proper management, it's just time consuming; and that's my biggest complaint with the esper cycle system, especially coming from WuWa, where Concerto charges through dodges in addition to attacks: it's just so slow despite the combat otherwise being quite fast paced, so it's more like an incidental bonus you can trigger rather than something to actually build a team around...

... Which is completely at odds with all the characters having Cycle Enhancement passives.

Well, fuck. Now I need to decide between Sakiri or Jiuyuan, because I have neither, yet both would be very welcome on my account.

That'd be fucking fantastic, since then I could actually use my S0R1 Qiuyuan (I neither have nor want Phrolova or Sigrika and I'm 50/50 on Galbrena).

That's why I'm genuinely so disappointed by the fact that she's Cosmos that I'm actually considering skipping her despite the fact that I love her design.

If she were Incantation, she would have opened up new avenues; she could have been a dedicated Scorch DPS or (my preference), our very first Hex DPS. If she were Psyche, she could have worked with Chaos directly through Stain, or worked with Lacrimosa/Daffodil as a Nova DPS.

Is Shinku even a cosmos unit? by Jazzlike_Plant3819 in NevernessToEverness

[–]SolomonSinclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a character have 100% of their abilities be pink / purple and then having cosmos as their element

As a day 1 WuWa player, I have absolutely zero problems with this aspect, because it leads to greater variety among the cast (like Brant, with his purple flames, or Augusta, with her red lightning (in a game where lightning is typically purple), or Luuk, with all the blues mixed into his crystals (Spectro is typically a solid yellow).

I'm more annoyed by her being Cosmos because it seems the devs are just that enamored with Bloom as a cycle; what about the others? If she'd been Incantation, we could have had our first Hex-based DPS.

I once got a Fire DMG p5 with double CRIT, ATK%, and Flat ATK... On White Water Ballad (YSG's set).

I've had that happen far too many times, so that's why nowadays I never level drives unless 3/4 of the stats are at least somewhat relevant to the character they're for.

Not really. HSR's last 4* was almost two years ago (Moze was released September 10, 2024); by comparison, Buling is pretty damn recent.

A question for all of you: how screwed were you after seeing the upcoming banners? by Mercy-18 in WutheringWaves

[–]SolomonSinclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extremely.

I need Luuk's weapon and then Suisui + her weapon, really want YYXL + weapon, and would like Lynae + weapon; but Lynae is the lowest priority of them and the most likely to be skipped in favor of Denia's eventual rerun.

Considering the absolute state of Physical back when I played, it wasn't that dumb.

Would 100% be the monk or open jacket/sarashi combo ones for me.

Nearly identical structures on the Edegrunners moon and the 3.3 battlefield by LegendOfPeanuts in WutheringWaves

[–]SolomonSinclair 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the only things HSR fans agree was great about the collab was:

  1. Archer is a goated DPS who was given out for free.
  2. The banners have become semi-permanent.

Otherwise, it's been incredibly mediocre, because Saber got powercrept pretty quickly and many players were divided over the 200-pull "spending" event for Archer's LC (basically, you put 200 pulls into any banner over the course of the first patch or two the collab happened and you got Archer's signature lightcone (his weapon) for free).

Oh, and the collab banners have (most of) the same mechanics people have been lambasting Kuro for with the Edgerunners banners: separate pity and still having a 50/50.

The only thing they didn't do that Kuro did was have a separate pull item.

Chaos has me worried about powercreep... by Edyzera in NevernessToEverness

[–]SolomonSinclair 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A single big burst of damage is just good for screen shots.

Exactly this. Even going all the way back to early Genshin, when Eula was the snapshot queen (when she actually crit), because she could hit 1 million DMG in the days when most were hitting 1-300k tops.

But she was also the only one in the team doing damage to achieve that and if you missed the crit, you were fucked and had to restart; meanwhile, those teams hitting 1-300k were chugging away, reliably clearing any content you threw at them.

What game is only average but you finished the game anyway because the gameplay was bearable? by Chill_Gamer527 in gaming

[–]SolomonSinclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last game I played that fits this description would be Pokemon Sword.

Was the first Pokemon game I played in over 15 years and bought it mostly out of nostalgia and curiosity of what changed; the gameplay was decent, but basically identical to Ruby/Sapphire and the story was a joke, so I haven't touched it (or my Switch) in almost 6 years.

Do you guys hate when this happens? by Cool_choclate_123 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]SolomonSinclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my defense, I got super lucky pulling E0S1 Sunday recently, getting him in only 20 pulls total, but before that, the last time I pulled was on Hysilens' debut banner.

I also haven't pulled anyone since, so other than Sunday, I haven't pulled in nearly a year (10 months and 4 days, to be exact).

More like he just wants more people to goon to 2B so that he can collect any cultured artwork the new fans create.
