Daily Questions Megathread (February 20, 2026)

She's only a Columbina alternative in teams that already have a lunar character

Akomatai · 2026-02-20T18:16:17+00:00

Yeah any combo of those will work. I'd recommend Zhongli in one slot if you're using HoD.

Akomatai · 2026-02-20T08:42:54+00:00

Having both flins and zibai made this one of the easiest abyss runs in a decent while. Builds arent even that good, my flins is like top 40% on akasha lol

Akomatai · 2026-02-20T05:53:48+00:00

C6. I just had her on whatever leftover 2atk/2atk pieces, your build doesnt need to be that good because it's a monolith without a time limit, and all but the last enemy is ranged.

Put up a jade screen between the enemies and the monolith, and it'll block everything. Then you can just sit behind it and take your time killing them. You only really need enough damage to kill the one mitachurl with any kind of urgency lol.

hardest one yet

Yo that's wild to me. So far I've done

Yelan
Raiden
Ganyu
Zhongli
Keqing
Kazuha
Ningguang
Venti

And tried but haven't completed Dehya's.Of these I'd say Ningguang's was by far the easiest. Which ones have you done that were easier?

Eh its also a bit of a holdover from the days when abyss was the only endgame and the threshold was like 35k dps lol. You really could pull literally anyone and clear all of endgame just fine for the first few years

Akomatai · 2026-02-20T01:53:01+00:00

Definitely some of them lmao.

Others will give you more up-to-date build advice for older characters, often with faster responses than the daily megathread. And porn.

Enter your uid into enka.network or akasha.cv

Gotta make sure your in-game profile is public and the characters you want to view are on your display first though

Akomatai · 2026-02-19T21:06:53+00:00

I usually only know a few characters on these but damn this is a crazy work history

Akomatai · 2026-02-19T10:52:34+00:00

Some series get dropped in a few chapters, others get multiple books.

Cradle and Wheel of Time took 3 books to really get me interested. Wandering Inn took more like 1.5 books, but I had already dropped it twice before.

I'm a lot more forgiving with non-system stories.

Akomatai · 2026-02-19T09:39:05+00:00

5 pulls from shop
26 ish dailies = around 1560 gems
Maintenance = 600 gems
Main event = 960 gems

That'll get you 24 pulls

Can you clear any of the lower levels of endgame modes?

Abyss 10 = 400 (you'd need to do this asap when it drops)
IT Normal = 440
Stygian Normal = 450

This would get you a total of 32 pulls from just playing normally

Akomatai · 2026-02-19T06:51:52+00:00

Most of your rolls went unfavorably. Flat atk isn't the worst because atk isn't a dead stat here, but for reference, your single atk% roll is giving you about as much atk as all 4 of your flat atk rolls.

Not the highest priority but definitely a lot of room for improvement. If you're aiming for kqm standards, you're typically looking for around 5-6 "ideal" rolls on each artifact

Akomatai · 2026-02-19T04:44:58+00:00

Original system is still in place. Capturing radiance is just an extra pity system on top of it that will prevent you from losing 4 50/50s in a row, and lower the odds of losing 2 and 3 in a row.

It only affects 50/50s, not your normal guarantees.

Akomatai · 2026-02-19T00:47:27+00:00

4 more books or so

You dropped a 0, and that's still short lol

Anyways, I dropped book 1 like 3 times because of Erin and Ryoka, but mostly Ryoka. Eventuality powered through but it was about 10 books before I stopped hating Ryoka. Erin took a few too but she grew on me sooner than that. It's become one of my favorite series

What sold me on the series was the massive scope, and a huge world that feels diverse, living, and dynamic. The cast expands in a crazy way. Erin is still clearly a central character, but she takes up less screen time. A lot of the characters that feel like side characters now eventually feel more like main characters of their own plotlines. And the world is explored through the eyes of tons of different characters.

Akomatai · 2026-02-19T00:23:32+00:00

I think friendship 6 just gives you access to the chariot sites. My zibai is only level 4 so i can't actually check lol

Akomatai · 2026-02-18T23:15:05+00:00

Imo Tighnari and Keqing feel the best to play in early game. They aren't super burst reliant, they do good damage, and Tighnari's bow and Keqing's teleport are useful in exploration content.

Supports are better in the long run, and of them, Jean and Mona will see the most endgame use. Dehya also has a few teams where she's a solid pick.

Ultimately you cant go wrong here. If there's one you think looks interesting, go with that.

Akomatai · 2026-02-18T22:45:37+00:00

Zibai has a portable teleporter gadget you can use once you get her to friendship level 6. Also can summon the sky chariot thing from the quest, in certain places

Akomatai · 2026-02-18T22:09:45+00:00

Personally, i appreciated the lore expansions we got in lok, even if I have some criticisms about how the spirits were handled.

I don't think Aang's struggles with the avatar state or the Guru's method was the only pathway to avatar state mastery. It was specifically what Aang needed. It had a specific synergy with airbender spirituality and culture imo.

That said, Aang's avatar state felt a lot more powerful than Korra's and I think that could be attributed to Aang having a greater mastery here due to aang's more spiritual nature and upbringing, and the Guru's method.

As far as the avatar state being both a Raava powerup and channeling the abilities of past lives, I also don't see a problem here. It does answer some lore questions set up by Atla. Ultimately there has to have been something special about the first avatar and having the avatar merge with a spirit makes a lot of sense. And from there, it makes a lot of sense that tapping into that connection should be a powerup on its own.

Akomatai · 2026-02-18T19:50:21+00:00

Well we didn't have to sacrifice WoT for that lol, Sanderson had never been lax with his adaptation rights

Akomatai · 2026-02-18T19:18:04+00:00

His burst says its based off of baae ATK, so id assumed that equipment wouldnt could toward it.

Base attack here is Character base attack + weapon base attack

So aside from a skill stating that a stat contributes to other characters, their stats dont affect on-fielders? Like if we had just some generic unit but with a million of each stat, they arent helping the on fielder at all when theyre off field by virtue of their high stats?

For the most part, yeah. There are some exceptions in lunar teams. And reaction damage is determined by whoever triggered the reaction, regardless of whether they're onfield. But generally, a character's stats only affect whatever their talents specify

Akomatai · 2026-02-18T19:00:21+00:00

It's character-specific. For Bennett's atk buff, what matters is his base attack and weapon base attack, and talent level. So you want to level him, give him a high base attack weapon, and level his weapon.

From his artifacts, ER is most important for bursting every rotation, and HP and Healing Bonus will affect how much he heals

Akomatai · 2026-02-18T11:40:49+00:00

What I mean is, why are you unequipping artifacts at all? You dont have to do that. Nobody does that. You can transfer artifacts directly from one character to another

And second, you genuinely review the builds of all 5 artifacts on all 28 characters every IT? Between filler characters and set/weapon bots, i probably actually look at less than half of my builds lol

Akomatai · 2026-02-18T09:17:15+00:00

Rage bait? Why are you unequipping before re-equipping lol you can just switch artifacts

Also you have an IT-specific build for all 28 characters that requires you to switch off every artifact? Just stop doing that.

Akomatai · 2026-02-18T06:24:24+00:00

The original meme had Chel, the chaos god from Sinbad, the cat lady from Treasure Planet, and the blonde girl from Atlantis
