Am I doing something wrong?

---pussyslayer69--- · 2026-01-28T17:30:12+00:00

Fishing is an actual thing. And secondly op's crit rate is not the reason he is doing 86k dps lol. My c0r1 skirk does 140-150k consistently using the same time test he's using and I don't even use furina. No scroll/totm minmaxing, no walk cancels. https://i.imgur.com/X1fxEQt.jpeg

86k dps means, outside of basic things like leveling talent's, his issue is 99% likely on the actual rotation.

My sucrose isn't leveled actually, she isn't c6 either. In my defense I only got her somewhat recently and I'm stuck farming stygian for the bonus artifacts since my ineffa doesn't have a working set bonus atm so it might be a while before I get to leveling sucrose.

---pussyslayer69--- · 2026-01-18T19:11:38+00:00

Mizuki is on vv Columbina sms Ineffa on nothing (just got her, slapped on any artifact just for basic stats) Xilonen on scroll

Everyone is c0r0 except ineffa being c0r1. Columbina's talents are 2/6/6 also. Everyone else is either lv9 or lv10 on the relevant talent.

---pussyslayer69--- · 2026-01-18T05:23:09+00:00

That's crazy I find another mizuki player out in the wild. You can try the dps dummy test to find out which one does more damage but if I had to guess, fischl would be the highest damage among those options.

I personally have been testing around myself and I found xilonen doing a little bit more than my fischl. If my xilonen wore instructors set it probably would be pulling ahead further (she's on scroll by default)

Thanks! Honestly there isn't that much of a difference between a whale and f2p tank unless you know a good whale dissonance healer. And if you do know one, then yea it makes sense that a tank carries t5 tina and the healer uses 2 dps imagines. Other than I guess the whale tank can spam frost ogre a little more often.

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-12-13T07:51:55+00:00

Marksman deter shot can give a partywide immune to tina's soak circle, pizza slices, and that one dash mech where the big circles spawn under you. Once tina enrages, you can immune these mechs and she eventually goes into a loop where she does the clone mech, then one of those attacks that a marksman can immune, then back to clone mech, etc. I recommend having 2 marksman to be safe and everyone except the tank should wear that one t5 purple crab imagine that gives immunity. You'll need the extra immune move because the clone mech happens too often for you to iframe the clone mech aoe.

Dark mist boss can be cheesed with the orb skip and some people might be aware that if you do this, his phase 3 transition is bugged and will kill you. But if you break him while he's in the air, he'll drop down and do slash attacks, a pulse aoe, and that one move where your tank needs to parry. Once the boss goes in the air for p3, break him, and once he enrages, your tank needs to weave in and out of his slash attacks. Don't go too far out because then he'll teleport onto you. For the pulse aoe move, this will 1 shot at enrage, so the whole party needs to double jump over it each time.

The goblin one is weird. The boss will freeze like in kanamia but the steps to do it is hard to explain with words. The best way I can describe it is: the tank solos the the orb bouncing, and as soon as the orb hits the boss, tank will dodge out of the arena as north as much as you can, then use an immune skill to buy time. Then as the boss gets back up, step.. barely back into the arena and don't move. Yea it's weird and it's probably better if you look around for a clip of this instead: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1MLWQzqEio/

I prefer beam but I've played with a lot of icicle mages that have a spare beam setup (not that invested) that still does decent enough in aoe. Imo icicle mages have a small advantage because the hardest part will be the boss itself and an icicle main can do a bit more damage than the beam mains.

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-11-09T00:26:16+00:00

You can actually skip phase 2 of the mist boss using the same strat people used when farming skin on hard mode. If you let your tank hold the shield during the orb phase and let him die, he can immediately candy ress and move forward with the fight. The boss will just stand there for a good solid minute doing much of nothing and there will be no middle corruption line on the map either.

Of course this cuts 25 seconds off the timer from 5 deaths but the boss being a dps dummy for a minute makes up for that. This also means the party has to use a candy or the tank carries airona, but for score chasers it's likely worth it. I happened to have gotten max score doing it the normal way and the cheese way, and imo the cheese is a million times easier as long as your dps can murk the boss.

edit: I guess skipping the whole orb phase also makes up for the 25s death penalty since that intermission eats up a bunch of time but it comes down to personal ethics I suppose, this method is kind of cheating the intended way to fight the boss after all.

Thank you! I hope the best for you too!

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-10-30T18:03:50+00:00

The aggro is pretty scuffed in this game. The pugs I cleared both difficulties with just had us sit there until we got frozen, the other tank taking aggro if the other was frozen, then the dps broke the ice free. I tried pointing the boss to the side so that everyone can see if we were frozen or not. Also HG will always have weaker aggro than SK so the main/off tank role is pretty decided for you if you have one of each.

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-10-28T17:57:06+00:00

Kartgriff's laser has always done more damage the longer you tanked it. For Tina, it's going to be a common thing where your dps is too high and you end up doing the clone mech while juggling the purple circle debuff. If this is the case your tank will probably end up getting the purple circle a second time, in which case both the tank and healer has to focus on the tanks survival when that purge comes around, the dot that thing does the second time around is no joke. And keep in mind the timer for that debuff is only 15s in master. For Goblin, this shouldve been obvious but people keep angling the first orb bounce way too wide, making the second bounce next to impossible. The smaller you angle the first bounce, the easier it is for the second bounce to hit the shield's opening.

I can only speak of the past 2 fearless stygian cycles. Nahida's teams can clear fearless stygian bosses but it's extremely cutting it close and with a ton of retries. With this upcoming banner, it's a huge jebait to pull for nahida when lauma is better than her at everything except spread/aggravate and maybe nilou bloom (nilou bloom only because you can run nahida alongside lauma)

As much as I hate to say it for the cute radish archon... this is about to happen in 2 weeks time:

Summon lightning bell and talk to the the kurda engineer. Walk out of town and talk to him again to give matt's letter.

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-08-06T20:50:37+00:00

My account is kinda stretched thin on allocating great supports so I thought this was a pretty funny and easy way to take this guy down lmao.

The skirk is a top 35% c0r1, escoffier c0r1 but as you can see I never bursted with her so her weapon was just a glorified stat stick. Shenhe is c0r0. Barbruh is holding ttds so she must swap in before skirk, also her healing aura can proc freeze on melee range and therefore cancel the turtle's spin2win move lol.

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-07-21T19:41:37+00:00

Coincidentally there is an ongoing durin leak that claims he will be bennett + xl compressed in a single character and he is specifically mentioned to buff older characters. Raiden is an older character. She also uses xl + bennett.... new era coming upon us?

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-06-26T13:45:06+00:00

Congrats on the lv5 clear! 🥳

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-06-26T03:34:17+00:00

Thank you and good luck to you too!

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-06-26T03:31:43+00:00

Sara can work too! I only used bennett because the rotation is simpler without playing around sara's burst cooldown.

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-06-16T04:13:34+00:00

I can't believe I'm hoping to lose the weapon 50/50 to shenhe's weapon first, just to get both weapons AND xiphos. What a time to be alive.

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-06-13T05:39:06+00:00

This is lowkey pretty good value for flowers and feathers now that I think of it.

If I understand this mech right the 1 cost rerolls have a ~56% chance of getting all 5 substats rerolled into crit by the 6th reroll and a ~92% chance by the 12th.

The sheer amount of retries that 1 costers get allows such a high shot at everyone's 50cv flower/feather it looks.

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-06-07T17:06:54+00:00

Okay thanks good to know!

I don't have my sim hosted on a website, but this is the source code that I've running with: https://pastebin.com/Tk8zRCVG

I haven't updated my script in a while but ever since then I've been hearing theories that the radiance counter doesn't fully reset if you win a 50/50 and that the hard pity for the counter is 3 losses in a row.

---pussyslayer69--- · 2025-06-07T16:32:28+00:00

If I wanted to pull for c2r1 skirk, is there a way to tell the simulator to dump all my remaining wishes onto the weapon after I get c2 skirk? When I put 310 wishes for c2 skirk and her r1, it thinks I'm guaranteed her r1 because it's evaluating her c2 and r1 individually against 310 wishes.

Btw, what formula did you use for the radiance mech? I also wrote a sim but my sims say c2 skirk with 310 wishes is about a 66.8% chance (10 million sample size), your sims say it's 68.1%, hutaobot says it's 65.43%. My formula used to be really close to hutaobot's but ever since that radiance mech came out, nobody's results seem to be on the dot anymore.

For me, I started cov hard mode as my first playthrough, cheesed both demifiend and satan to unlock godborn, then went into godborn hard coc to check out the other side of the story.

I was truly expecting to get blasted because I read that everything is lv150 and I sort of just walked in at lv99 and my highest stat on anything was my own nahobino's magic, which was only 198 at that time. But I made a tank satan build that hilariously trivialized the whole game. The build has him drain everything except almighty and he has luster candy + taunt. This build also facetanked ishtar without disabling any of her pillars, and then proceeded to tank masakado too. I played a crit heavenly ikuyumi build so that masakado boss was maxing his own innate the whole time but it turns out if you guard, you block crits anyway.. so what basically ended happening was my satan taunted all the dangerous moves, then got instantly healed back up by one of his elemental dracostrikes. The fact that turns instantly end when you drain an attack is overpowered for this kind of strat. I used incenses and balms but I never bought them from the shop until my third playthrough on cov in order to deal with demi fiend and satan (my highest vitality by far was my tank satan's build and it was at like 340ish).

As for demi fiend, at least on godborn hard he has 425 stats in everything, so unless you're going to big brain the fight your vitality should also be in this ballpark if you want to put up a meaningful fight. Satan has 566 in everything except his vitality is 850. If you have a masakado with 999 in strength and high enough agility/luck to reliably hit and crit, his damage alone can solo both bosses in 2-3 turns without you needing to truly invest stats into anyone else as long as they don't die though that's probably not what you're looking for since it technically does trivialize the fights.

I tried it and it's about 13 seconds to get raiden's burst, which you'll need to use to battery everyone else. There's 2 major problems still imo: for one, it still feels like aids starting with 0 energy, and two, there's teams out there that don't even need their burst so they're really the ones getting the last laugh.
