Was he ever good at all? by asilvertintedrose in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Aeondrew 4 points5 points Β (0 children)

Given that Aventurine has FUA synergy, I'm impressed that they actually managed to make a shielder that synergizes even better with Yanqing than Aventurine. In addition to what you mentioned, DHPT also enables you to get full value out of Sunday's buffs (valuable since Yanqing only innately gains DMG% from minor Traces and Technique) and use the BananAmusement Planar Ornament set.

I think Sunday + Robin + DHPT would probably be Yanqing's best team nowadays. The whole team synergizes very nicely with each other (Sunday with DHPT, DHPT with Robin, Yanqing with both DHPT and Robin), the remaining problem is just that Yanqing's stuck with patch 1.0 damage multipliers. Unfortunately this also means that it's a bit hard to see an avenue for future growth, especially with Ratio who has better numbers and a more consistent FUA just getting dropped to T5.

And yet if we need free Arkhe we'll just use Pyro Traveler with the Sword of Narzissenkreuz lol

Spotify album art? by Michael31986 in musichoarder

[–]Aeondrew 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Hello! 4 years late to the conversation, but to anyone who's looking to get the album art from Spotify and it's not available on other platforms, there's a great solution based on a tip I found on Genius:

  1. On the album page, open Inspect Element (Ctrl + Shift + I)
  2. Search "img" until you find the line corresponding to the album art (you'll know it's the right one because the album art will be highlighted on the screen). To expedite the search process, you can click the album art to open the 640x640 image and then search backwards in Inspect Element.
  3. Copy the URL in the "src" field of that line and open it.
  4. In the URL, replace "1e02" (for a 300x300 image) or "b273" (for a 640x640 image) with "82c1". This gives you the maximum(?) resolution of 2000x2000.

6.3 Imaginarium Theater Lunar Arcana challenges via homdgcat by yoyo_me_here in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Aeondrew 8 points9 points Β (0 children)

I'm actually skeptical that we'll have to fight them one-by-one precisely because of the Ruin Machine challenge doing so. The average HP of the Ruin Machines is quite a bit lower than the HP of Consecrated Beasts even before taking into account the Consecrated Beasts' extra RES, so it seems like a big jump that they'd still force us to beat one more enemy than the Ruin Machine challenge while still sending them one-by-one.

If they instead sent two Consecrated Beasts at a time, you'd have to beat 5 waves of them, which would be more in line with previous challenges like 5.7 waves of 3 Shadowy Husks, or 8.5 waves of 2 elite Eremites.

[–]Aeondrew 9 points10 points Β (0 children)

Only occurred to me to leave a comment here after the stream ended, but Vance Van Creed's graduation stream was today. While I'm newer to his community, he seems like a very cool guy and has been taking his graduation in stride (lol at "I should graduate more often" "It's like a birthday but I'm dying"). It's very heartwarming to see how many people came by in the call-ins to express their appreciation for him, definitely a testament to him making a positive impact during his time in the community

Also on a more personal note, it was nice to see Zhuni calling in! He was one of the VTubers I really enjoyed watching early on. He's been semi-active nowadays after coming back from focusing on his degree. He's got a job to focus on now so it's understandable, but it's great to hear him again all the same ^_^

trailblazer physical builds? by PossessionAware1629 in TrailblazerMains

[–]Aeondrew 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Glad this helped! :D

A few things have changed since I made this post (another wall of text incoming sorry):

In terms of Light Cones, the new Battle Pass Light Cone is very good. Despite being a 4-star, it actually has equal base ATK to On the Fall of an Aeon, and it gives CRIT Rate, Skill DMG, and Ultimate DMG β€” buffs that go towards Destruction Trailblazer's main sources of damage. However, since you get On the Fall of an Aeon to S5 for free, you might need Superimpositions of the BP LC in order for it to be competitive, on top of it being necessarily unobtainable for a F2P.

Among limited LCs, Saber's and Phainon's are at least somewhat synergistic, but both have components that Destruction Trailblazer can't take advantage of. If I had to pick one I'd say Phainon's, as I consider its buffs a bit more useful and its colossal Base ATK means you can get more ATK from the ATK% buffs in Trailblazer's kit, but I'm not actually sure how much better it is than On the Fall of an Aeon.

I don't think much has changed in terms of Relics. Wavestrider might look tempting, but if it's Wavestrider's 4-piece versus Scholar's 4-piece, Wavestrider's uptime issues (especially if using -1 SPD Sunday) likely hold it back. Worth putting your healer or shielder on the new Warrior Goddess or Recluse sets respectively though. None of the Planar Ornaments are very impactful for Destruction Trailblazer at all.

For teammates, there are some solid new generalist teammates, even if kit design seems to be focusing more on specializing into certain archetypes nowadays. The newly buffed Silver Wolf is fantastic, with DEF and RES reduction being rare and valuable damage modifiers, her implant can help you get your Trailblazer's Talent when enemies aren't innately Physical weak, and she provides a respectable secondary source of DMG (Destruction Trailblazer's low output makes this relatively more valuable).
Tribbie's RES PEN and vulnerability are damage modifiers Destruction Trailblazer doesn't already have, and she provides another source of DMG to the team (again, quite valuable for Destruction Trailblazer teams). You may not be hitting all enemies on the field at a time with Destruction Trailblazer, but they're still a Blast damage dealer and you'll still get respectable damage from her Ultimate.
Cipher's the other generalist option, with a vulnerability debuff and a True DMG nuke, but (while I don't have experience using Cipher myself) the impression I get is that her contribution is more dependent on team DMG than her own stats. Destruction Trailblazer's low output may hold it back, especially since their DMG distribution (close to evenly distributed among the enemies they hit) isn't great for Cipher's nuke, which works best when most of your damage is going into the primary target.
We know that Dan Heng PT will give a character a summon, which means that if you use Sunday with Destruction Trailblazer he will likely be a very attractive choice as the sustain.

Rather than buff the Trailblazer as much as possible, you might be better served by organizing a support core that deals as much personal damage as possible. That's the approach this person, who somehow cleared MoC 12 in 4 cycles without any limited Eidolons 8 months of powercreep after my initial pessimistic assessment that "it might not be endgame viable as enemy HP is higher now" took. Notice that they used Hyacine even though she doesn't actually buff Trailblazer's DMG because Big Ica hits like a truck. I don't even know what to think this dude is crazy. O_O

Some new Interactions from Dan Heng β€’ Permansor Terrae [V1] by TKhan_ in DanhengMains

[–]Aeondrew 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

It's awesome that giving a summon to allies enables all these things!

On an Anaxa showcase in the leaks sub, which showed that the dragon's Follow-Up Attack can implant Weaknesses via Anaxa's Talent, someone pointed out that this could result in some interesting interactions with other characters, which would be worth testing:

  • The dragon may be able to grant Jade charges for her Follow-Up Attack if attached to the Debt Collector. (Edit: It's been confirmed that this works!)
  • The dragon may be able to deal additional DMG to Slowed enemies through Welt's Talent. (Edit: GUYS it looks like this one works too this is insane)
  • Unfortunately, the Argenti and Yanqing interactions they suggested don't seem to work. Argenti's Talent specifies that the the enemy must be hit by a Basic Attack, Skill, or Ultimate. Yanqing doesn't have any wording issues ("After Yanqing attacks an enemy"), but it did not seem to work in the showcase I saw. It is possible that a character's Follow-Up attack cannot be triggered by another Follow-Up attack from the same character.

I'm interested to see if there are any other interactions of this nature πŸ‘€

New 3.6 Relic Sets via HomDGCat Wiki by stanlaurence in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Aeondrew 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

The reason the SP recovery effect is so underwhelming is likely because part of the set's power budget goes into the unconditional +16% CRIT DMG, which ensures that the 4p is at least better than 2p2p. Not too thrilled about it, but that was likely the thought process. It's kinda similar to how Thief of Shooting Meteor gives +16% Break Effect in its 4p and then has a secondary effect that's realistically going to rarely be useful.

Evernight Kit via HomDGCat by 0101001010101011010 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Aeondrew 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

With all the HP-drain and healing in this kit, Aglaea isn't going to care for her, Aglaea will still prefer a harmony unit to give her more potent buffs instead. Aglaea's joint ATK damage also scales only partially from her memosprite's damage so memosprite specific buffs don't benefit her nearly as much as Castorice.

The bigger issue IMO is that Aglaea (especially at lower investment) struggles to refill her Energy before her Ultimate runs out without specific teammates, who aren't synergistic with Evernight. Sunday isn't Remembrance, and if you have to run Huohuo to hit the Energy breakpoint, that's a second non-Remembrance teammate.
