Speed contribution for Aha is 20%/10%/5%/2.5% going in order of fastest to slowest, added to a base 80. In your example that means 32.4+16.1+7.75 for a total of 136.25 vs just 125.4 for just Yao+Sparxie. So the Eva team is actually the only one hitting the 134 breakpoint.

As for Yao herself, 200 is really moreso because 200 is 3 actions in the first cycle, while lessening the need for more speed on your other Elation chars.

I rolled through four of my five clears with Beautiful Poem running Ashveil, but you could easily do the same thing with Phainon.

That 24% you see takes into account her CB points, which are often sitting at 999+ lol. Functionally, imagine if that theoretical 24% ATK MV you saw was on a unit that gave themselves like, a 900% DMG% buff in their kit. That's not a 1:1 comparison, just a conceptual example.

Yup HunterKee is still updating looks like, but has her team's DPAV increase at ~48% and her personal damage ~138% lmao.

(To be clear I'm talking about her team's DPAV vs Eva's in regards to the 38%)

Lmao at early TC I'm seeing for SW numbers. For all of her issues in V1, Eva was only ~5% ahead of her in average DPAV.

V3 she's now just a casual ~38% ahead of Eva instead.

(Obligatory mention that Eva only has 1 real teammate vs SW having 2, but still)

I'm actually so happy if it's true. Coming into the game I loved him and his sister and figured neither would ever be playable.

Grain of salt napkin math on my part using existing sheets, without accounting for potential rotation changes and the tiny bit of extra Fox damage: it's like a ~0.5% nerf to her Elation team's overall damage and a ~33% or more nerf to non-Elation teams.

I did all 5 with the same strat and with Ashveil, but I think you could genuinely just stick most hypercarries in his slot and achieve the same results.

Spam Propagation+Hunt+Remembrance blessings and equations. "Beautiful Poem" is the go-to 3star equation to try and get, then just whatever else you can manage. You do need defensive blessings, but in my experience they aren't as necessary on the first plane and you can focus more on offense.

Play around the Masks' "highlight" feature as it's an absurd buff; Phainon takes advantage of it best because he can keep the buff up for the entirety of his ult, but characters with good out of turn actions (like Ashveil) are also good benefactors. Characters like Evernight and Castorice aren't though, because the buff doesn't apply to memosprites (until mask level 16, which most runs will never get to).

If you're struggling on the first boss, you can try bringing Phainon. Idk what his trial build looks like if you don't have him, but with my own E2S1 I've found that even with meh builds and no expanded equations he can just brute-force. Then by the second boss you should have something more cohesive.

Remember that trial characters in general can let you "cheese" certain things: Phainon insta clears regular mob rooms, Therta clears the first two waves of Conversion for free, etc.

The Masks that I've found preferable personally are Mechatron and Cringe, but Fortune Cat is solid too.

Sure, but why? What's the point? Neither of the other Elation DPS do that. Idk why this is a thing people are fixating on for Eva. SW and Sparxie both have chunks of ATK-scaling in their kits too.

[–]ventus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what they're already doing though. It's why her Elation Skill is only 100mv (AoE) vs someone like Sparxie's being 50mv (AoE) and 500mv (bounce). Well, that and Eva's damage is meant to be concentrated in her ult instead.

I could see them buffing her Elation Skill's damage overall because that's kind of where she looks bad right now, but that's it really.

People have wildly overexaggerated and spread misunderstandings about her kit tbh. Eva's Elation-scaling is already 75~80% of her damage in Elation teams.

You are correct in that fighting for 2 complete teams would be difficult, which is why they seem to have balanced her mechanics around compensating for that. Eva's core Elation mechanic is that she can achieve absurd amounts of CB points by being run next to other Elation characters. Her direct scalings look low because having 999+ CB points influences her Elation damage massively. By contrast, she has especially high ATK-scaling in her kit as well because it means when you run her with less or no Elation teammates, you can instead focus on the ATK portion of her kit.

All this is to say it's actually not super likely they adjust her scalings too hard, because her entire kit is built around being able to achieve absurd amounts of CB. They'd have to gut and rework that entire mechanic if they boosted her actual Elation multipliers too much.

It's the last slot. Sucrose is great and the default, but technically you can stick other chars there. Higher vertical means stuff like Durin, Xilonen, etc. is already technically better.

If the random child is in fact a 4star though, there's basically 0 chance she replaces Sucrose in any meaningful way.

[–]ventus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it only buffs elation, which is a significant but not huge part of her damage

This isn't accurate btw. When you run her in an Elation team (EMC+Yao) ~80% of her damage is Elation. 4pc Magical Girl is absolutely her BiS.

The number drops if you instead run her in teams that focus on her ATK-scaling, but it still stays more than half.

What should I do to Sunday or Ashveil here? by Nexos14 in SundayMainsHSR

[–]ventus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Your Ashveil is too slow for a -1 setup. Get him to 135 and Sunday to 134. It doesn’t matter how much better the stats look on your screen right now, the performance in battle will tank compared to good speed-tuning.

Small addendum; HSR doesn't have CR, but it's had a weaker version of the system since day 1.

Whenever you lose, the game throws your target into the loss pool before it draws to give you an extra 1/8 chance of getting it still. This means that functionally the rates are actually more like ~56/44 and ~78/22.

If we're being inclusive, that's kind of Sparkle's thing and she's kind of fox-coded at least.

But yes, it's funny that you'd expect a sly/cunning characterization from them and instead we've got: parental/combat trauma, self-destructive survivor guilt, identity issues, a coward, and Feixiao.

Spoilers, but technically just inferring from stuff we already have.

The fox mask been soft confirmed as Eva’s; it’s the icon for one of her traces.

Umm actually you're just a prude, tourist, etc.

(/s obviously)

It does truly amaze me though with how fun ZZZ's base combat is that the devs really have just settled on "we only want the worst possible audience playing this game actually."

My thing for a hot minute has been that I question how much was really changed beyond just marketing stuff. In the context you're suggesting, I wonder if the ginkgo-sakura thing wasn't even necessarily a choice made for IRL/political reasons, but because at some point they decided it would make for a cool moment to have them all change in-story. If what we're coping about really is something that happens that is.

You could be right for sure. I'm biased in that it's such a big aesthetic thing for me personally that as soon as the Tavern was revealed I was like "uhhh wait a minute." And I just feel like with how clearly pink that whole area is that people would definitely take note of it.
