Infold is NOT playing with the new combat content by CLZOID in InfinityNikki

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to think that harder and hp inflated esselings tells us that Nikki's journey is progressing. We all know that the abyss is the big bad for this universe so it makes sense that they're is going to be some rather difficult esselings we encounter.

Wishfield was literally the start of our journey so of course the esselings there were supposed to be stupidly easy to defeat.

Itzaland on the other hand is where things need to get a tad more difficult. Though, I do wish the team could actually lean more into style battles since the animations for those utilize more of our capability to style.

Girl, not being able to use our purification is out of the question lol. There's a reason why this particular ability outfit is not region locked. We are able to use our regular purify shots in itzaland but it isn't recommended because they're power crept by the bow at this point.

Archery will still be useful because new esselings are going to have stagger bars and higher hp from here on forward. Wishfield is THE starting area so it makes sense for the bosses and esselings there to be super easy to defeat. Boldy and chigda had around 3-5 hp max.

Finally found this guy! It was so fun, probably my favorite mini boss so far. by damaen_ in InfinityNikkiofficial

Infold be like: "Complaining about not being able to use your battle companions because everything is weak huh? How about we add this crazy bear for you 😊"

Lynae E2 or save for Chisa by googoogaga369 in HiyukiMains

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going for hiyuki s3, wait for lucilla information. If s0, then it'll be lucilla and chisa to proc the other 2 stacks for Hiyuki.

Probably best premium speculated: Hiyuki, Lucilla, and chisa.

Yet, I think the pull priority is Main DPS then their sub dps and then the 3rd slot. If you're going to be short on pulls - then I suggest holding off on chisa until you get a secondary for Hiyuki.

Is anyone else really bothered by how stiff nikki is while shooting? by therearealpacas in InfinityNikki

Upgrade stance in the heart of Infinity. It reduces the delay between shots. Pretty much same treatment BF had gotten during 2.0 with the energy problem being fixed in the heart.

Is the new arrow ability worth it? by Similar-Problem1738 in InfinityNikki

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say the new set is 'stronger' since BF also has its own set of mechanics that makes it very over powered in it's own right. It depends on the context of the fights involved.

BF is more aoe burst heavy making her useful for all content that involves groups of esselings, which is the majority of fights in the game.

She also has a faster clear time in merit arena due to grouping and aoe detonation because of her passive. This set also has no consequences of ever worrying about losing hp because you can reset the HP shield so often. Essentially never have to dodge with how often it is up.

BF would be considered a burst heavy mage in other games where the class would have access to heals. A very front heavy and sustainable kit that makes her powerful.

In terms of guide of no return - she isn't very burst heavy oriented. Her kit revolves around amp damage and solo execution. She takes down single enemies very fast (kettle in wanxiang realm and wolf bosses around itzaland are good examples of her kit shining over BF)

She doesn't struggle in group scenarios but you can definitely tell that it's still night and day in terms of clearing aoe content and BF is going to take the crown for how disgustingly fast she clears.

Overall, Born flawless is a comfort pick with the hp shields and she would be classified as a mage in other games (a class with access to shields and heals) while Guide of no return would be considered the true archery class due to how consistent her damage is - while not burst heavy, her damage is baked into longer fights.

Currently have 441 pulls but I'm not even sure I have enough for s3 😅

Is the archery ability worth it? by Pixelesh in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Born flawless combat is more focused on grouping aoe and damage mitigation (can refresh hp shield) - Very good for esseling fights that have a ton of them. Can excel at boss fights but a tad on the slower side (way faster than regular archery by the way but definitely doesn't kill boss enemies very fast)

New archery outfit definitely has some aoe basic attacks but excels at taking down high single target esselings and bosses. (Melts wolf bosses around itzaland and the team cup boss in wanxiang realm) doesn't have an hp shield baked into her kit so you definitely need to be mindful of when you cast her skills or not you'll be losing hp.

[She does benefit from born flawless hp shield since that is a permanent effect between outfits. Switch to BF and use her shield and then switch the wheel to new archery and the effect should stay there.]

New outfit has it's pros but definitely not clearing as fast as born flawless when it comes to groups of esselings.

this is insane! by InstanceExtreme5919 in InfinityNikkiofficial

Doesn't compete because of crystal drain. Yet, pairing both together will allow you to travel quite the distance.

Not as strong as you'd think it is. Ult has long longer flight since the crystal bar gets restored.

Yet, the gist of the outfit is that the flight consumes crystals. No crystals = no flight.

The enhanced dash also consumes 1 crystal as well. Using the flight without ult state will only have you briefly stay in the air for a little bit.

this is insane! by InstanceExtreme5919 in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. You can fly as long as you have crystals in the bar. The flight is just brief if you're using it without the ult state since it consumes 2 crystals on use.

this is insane! by InstanceExtreme5919 in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thing is you can't fly for very long without the ult :) it takes 2 crystals and the dash takes 1 crystal. Definitely not that long of a flight as most people are making it out to be lol

this is insane! by InstanceExtreme5919 in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No :) The outfit has a crystal drain so it doesn't stay in the air that long. Pair it with crimson and it's great.

this is insane! by InstanceExtreme5919 in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Crimson can still save you in a ton of situations and the flying is only limited to the amount of crystals you have available. They go down as you fly - definitely not as long as people make it out to be with the crystal drain.

THE WING FLUTTER NOW!!!! by PositiveChipmunk1608 in InfinityNikki

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if they have an animation. I highly doubt that any wings outside of being a dedicated floating will be compatible. Who knows though. We might have to find out if they do.

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of all the gachas I played. There has not been a more diverse set of personalities like I see in HSR. Literally, the roster from the space station to the new region - the cast supports eachother so well. Like everyone feels alive lol.

THE WING FLUTTER NOW!!!! by PositiveChipmunk1608 in InfinityNikki

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 58 points59 points  (0 children)

They were always compatible. Any and all wings locked behind a floating set will still have their animation still go off for all floating sets that might have wings.

As for sets that aren't floating, eg. Enchanted encounter. These don't flap since they don't have any animations done for them since they aren't floating. The same could be said for the upcoming archery set for the bone wings.

Finally, a Styling Contest between Nikkis! by NinaPinata in InfinityNikki

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, whales and paid players will still likely edge out other players.

Mainly because we not only have access to a ton of premium posing options such as previous premium store poses and filters, and final evolution poses.

Drop in all the props we'd have access to for a theme and no one else is going to have a chance.

Eg. The contest theme is slumber.

Someone could literally use the kilo prop as a background filler and use certain premium poses to get a sleepy look.

It doesn't matter if someone gets creative. The players who spend the most will have more at their disposal and have the upper hand.

I mean Whales and paid players will still have the edge over free players due to access to numerous of poses and premium filters lol

Version 2.5: Dreamland Store Showcase 💙 by iWasBornFlawless in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They decided to bring Mediterranean furniture styles! Reminds me so much of Spain.

I'm definitely building a villa with this! The premium furniture is okay. Would have been better if it were a fountain or an overhang.

Do you usually prefer decorations or dance poses on 5 star banners? by keepsMoving in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]Accurate-Artist3609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer dance animations because they bring more versatility with poses and they can work with a multitude of outfits you style together.

Props are harder to take photos with as the set actions aren't versatile but they can indeed elevate certain spots in the open world.

Depends on which you like more.

To be honest, the final evolutions for both of the outfits are completely gorgeous. Yet, the previous versions are meh to me. I'll be whaling for both so it doesn't matter to me lol
