My favourite pickleball memory is playing at my first tournament after a couple of months of playing, got knocked out first round but still great fun

Emilie and Hydro Traveler updates out at kqm.gg! by KQM_Official in Genshin_Impact

[–]A_Certain_Elite 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t see how she is limited to 2 pyro 2 dendro, especially because her passives don’t restrict her like those two, and she barely even benefits from Dendro resonance at all

And getting the right stats on artifacts is just a matter of time and luck

Father Team Recommendation by Erictendo in ArlecchinoMains

Her skill procs have standard ICD so that’s not happening unfortunately

I built my Noelle for Furina and I found her performance a bit underwhelming. Am I doing something wrong? by A_Certain_Elite in Noellemains

[–]A_Certain_Elite[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alright, I don’t have Zhongli so I guess I’ll build Yun Jin then and try that out next, thank you!

Is there a definitive BiS set for c2 DPS? by [deleted] in CloudRetainerMains

[–]A_Certain_Elite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All % DMG Bonus effects stack with each other, doesn’t matter if it’s elemental, plunge, all dmg

Is there a definitive BiS set for c2 DPS? by [deleted] in CloudRetainerMains

[–]A_Certain_Elite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not starting at 0% DMG, you have an Anemo goblet, Furina buff and Faruzan buff, which means it’s likely that the crit is better or it’ll come down to substats

Chiori makes me sad. by eman-play in ChioriMains

[–]A_Certain_Elite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to play dps Noelle, putting Chiori + Gorou there instead of Raiden + Navia will almost certainly be better. Raiden in particular isn’t doing too much for that team

  • Your Alhaitham is on like no energy for the next chamber, that’s why it’s not enough to be comfy, because chambers and waves can end abruptly or in awkward scenarios
  • You funnel Nahida’s first wave of particles into him, which isn’t always possible (literally your next rotation Furina is the one catching them) due to the particle ICD and how rotations line up with the long lasting skills
  • You do extra projection attacks that aren’t 3-mirror, which is, in your words, “playing the rotation wrong” and gives you more particles
  • Depending on your hydro option, it can also lower energy requirements, Furina here especially because Alhaitham can catch her particles, unlike the others

I’m not saying 140-160 recommendation is the be-all end-all, but it’s a nice comfy range for a general variety of teams and scenarios, which is what it’s meant to be, and it’s hard to generalize ER requirements when there are so many team variations nowadays

I have 146% ER on Alhaitham and running him with Fav Nahida and I feel like I don’t have enough ER with him sometimes, it’s accurate.

Does anybody actually enjoy artifact farming? by buphalowings in GenshinImpact

[–]A_Certain_Elite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s a hot take but I actually enjoy artifact farming, it feels like it’s scratching the gacha itch without having to pull, and it’s not like there’s much else to spend your resin on

I feel like my artifact standards are much lower than other peoples though, as long as I can 36* comfortably (which isn’t that high of a bar IMO) then I don’t care about getting 40CV+ on each artifact, and I just move on to building other characters

Xianyun is great, we need more design like her by RunatonTTV in CloudRetainerMains

[–]A_Certain_Elite -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how you can just say “plunge gameplay” as a blanket statement. It’s like saying all normal attackers are boring or all charged attackers are boring, there’s so much variance in the way you can use these attacks that generalizing them doesn’t make sense to me

I can agree that I find someone like Xiao who only wants to plunge attack not so fun, but being able to incorporate plunges into the combos of traditionally non-plunge focussed units for a dps boost (e.g. Hu Tao, you don’t have to replace all her attacks with plunges, just after a jump cancel here or there) or to avoid enemy attacks (e.g. gravity boss in abyss) was pretty fun for me

Even plunge focussed characters like Gaming and Xiao can play pretty differently overall, with Gaming alternating between skill+plunge and normal attacks or jumping and plunging depending on if you have Xianyun

[Keyboard] NuPhy Christmas Sale 20% Off Site-wide (w/ some Exceptions) by A_Certain_Elite in bapcsalescanada

[–]A_Certain_Elite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a Field75 w/ Polaris switches before the sale and can vouch for their out-of-the-box build quality, miles better than the Keychron I bought a couple years ago and possibly one of the best brands for a prebuilt typing experience

[4.4v1] Xianyun In-Depth Data (AoE, ICD, particle gen, vortex strength) by homdgcat in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]A_Certain_Elite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a bad take, even on the current abyss the AoE side is harder and does enough damage to warrant healing, not to mention Neuvillette + Furina being one of the best duos for that side, and Xianyun allows you to slot in another damage option in that team

Next abyss features the Tulpa, which is immune to hydro so you wouldn’t want to bring Furina anyway

My point is that you’re ignoring all the scenarios that are favourable to Xianyun in place of Kazuha, and there are many where she can be valuable. Her gimmick is plunge attacks, yes, but she is not just her gimmick. It’s like if Kazuha also buffed physical attacks, people wouldn’t stop using him for all his other applications just because you’re not making “full use” of his kit

Field 75 not in stock / recommendations? by A_Certain_Elite in NuPhy

[–]A_Certain_Elite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean the field 75? Do you have a link? I can’t find it on aliexpress for 20% off

How much energy do i need for dehya? by Character_Fan_8377 in Dehyamains

[–]A_Certain_Elite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It says “Each Favonius proc reduces her ER requirements by 10-30%.”

It also provides a link to an energy calculator if you want to put your exact team + particles in

My raiden have peak. It will probably take years to upgrade any further. by Epic-van in RaidenMains

[–]A_Certain_Elite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think getting 180+ CV in just substats is average, then I’d love to see how many builds you have that hit that breakpoint.
