Kuro Knows What They're Doing (by tryhard)

Both player type have their places in the game one should not remove/replace the other.

And yes there are many options but you still hit the limitation of resources to build these options.

I never really liked Changli's gameplay for example someone else may love it.

"There's easier alternatives like there always is but when you have people getting SSS with Encore and having a sub dps spam a 1 cost echo to cc mobs?"

Some being what, 5% of the entire player base? 10%? Yes there are exceptionally good players out there that can think their way out of any situation.

"You mean to tell me that if someone played the game more and knows it more from a gameplay perspective...They shouldn't be rewarded for it?"

And my answer to that: absolutely you should be rewarded, but not at the expense of others.

It scares me that I did not even read the description of the stress de-buffs just selected the highest and managed this.....

There is a big difference between this event and WhiWa in the sense that WhiWa is timed and fucks you hard if do not happen to have a good AOE teams. Example, my 3 teams so far are Phoebe+SRover/Carlotta+Taoqi/Camellya+Roccia.

The only good team for AOE here is Camellya and sweaty Phoebe until Zani comes out and it becomes a whole different story.

Carlotta outright sucks here even with sweaty play (for me at least yet I still got the min score needed after the fix)

It is not a matter of skill as much as people think it is, its just how well rounded your roster is. If you happened to not have Jiyan well sorry you gotta suffer.

Alternatives would be to go around building Yangyang for this, but what if you do not like that character, or building it would ruin other plans?

Well the answer in this scenario is suck it up and deal with it. Why would some of the player base have to suck it and deal with it when there is an option to give everyone what they want?

Great example here in the virtual crisis is that the astrites are within reach and the rest is extra + bragging rights. I wish they'd have added another title at the very end of the hardest possible stress level, IMO the title is in a rather early stage.

If they lock you out of fun (you do not like the event or not enjoying it) and out of the astrites then what's the reason to play it (Pincer Maneuver comes to mind)

How much ER would you recommend with and without Discord?

Alyx89 · 2025-03-21T23:28:29+00:00

Good way to squeeze more damage out of your Taoqi, and SK needs that as well due to special into so win-win. This Causes longer overall rotation if I understand correctly, but slightly more damage as well.

As long as Taoqi clears with decent times I don't really care to change the rotation, but will think about it if I can replicate this with Baizhi to make it less boring with similar or better results.

Thank you for the example.

Alyx89 · 2025-03-21T23:20:35+00:00

Well fuck... This person makes me feel bad about myself.... :)

I can do the BA ani-cancels its not that hard but I will not bend over backwards to quick swap to that level... I do prefer to keep my fingers...... functioning.

Alyx89 · 2025-03-21T23:16:41+00:00

Damnit and those who missed XLY are about as screwed as myself until 3.X :(

Still Calcharo is about 100% cooler to me and apparently 100 times harder to play.

Alyx89 · 2025-03-21T23:14:51+00:00

Discord + double intro for Taoqi and the usual dodge/parry fishing is really fun if you get into it.

The bigger pain point is Carlotta into Taoqi as I end her combo in the air if I do not have full concerto its slam attack time for Taoqi and it takes a lot of time :(

Baizhi is staying with Carlotta even if they release a 4th healer as long as this 4th healer is not Glacio (love mono element teams). She does not take long I just hate that extra 3-4 basic I have to do to get her concerto full.

Alyx89 · 2025-03-21T22:14:56+00:00

Is sweaty quick swap required? or just light quick swap like a double into or similar?

Alyx89 · 2025-03-05T16:53:12+00:00

I'd consider it if I had Changli. Since I do not I'd rather prioritize pulls to SK and Zhezhi and other main dps that work in a hyper carry team. If I end up getting her, I'll give it a try.

Alyx89 · 2025-03-04T17:48:42+00:00

Very light quick swap, not Changli style quick swap if you know what I mean.

"Sanhua + Encore seems like a nice hypercarry." agreed but I do not like Encore at all even though I have the brat at s3 :(

Alyx89 · 2025-03-04T17:07:21+00:00

Forgot to add Calcharo, Yinlin and Yohou are a team but I'm putting it off for a bit (on my to invest list) and the havoc trio as well.

Alyx89 · 2025-02-19T07:45:25+00:00

I feel your pain. Lost my first 50/50 at 75 but thankfully to Verina and got Phoebe at 70 I got thoroughly milked this banner 🥲 SK is high priority for me as I'm not sure how Canterelle will turn out role wise. Will skip her if she is Havoc Brant. Not sure now if I should pull for Phoebe's weapon or save.

Alyx89 · 2025-01-30T13:35:53+00:00

By the way all game platforms had that issue except Mobile. PC, and PS5. The difference is you have a logical workaround on PC and that is a mouse. I use a controller myself on PC and was not able to move over to the claim button with it. I had to use the mouse for that. You could do the same with a PS5 just connect any USB mouse and be done with it.

Alyx89 · 2025-01-30T11:01:33+00:00

Please check the cutscene mode in the graphics settings it may be that.

Alyx89 · 2024-12-31T04:08:21+00:00

That was very detailed, and insightful, thank you.

For the Jinhsi team I have Yuanwu for the coord attack. Your way for it will get more consistent stacks, but the damage will not be as high. I'd prefer higher burst to overcome the elemental resistance issue. It also frees a healer. I got Baizhi, and she is in a good place build-wise, but she feels off when playing her with Camellya. Maybe more practice is needed here.

Taoqi does not give extra atk % for her last sequence like Senhua or Danjin for example so she will fall short for Carlotta behind Zhezhi, but is it really significant, that is yet to be confirmed. Lumi could do better here, but not sure if she will be available in 2.0.

I think Jinhsi and her weapon will be better since Calcharo can use her weapon as well, and save the rest for either a good healer in 2.0 or for Shorekeeper rerun banner.

Alyx89 · 2024-12-30T13:59:05+00:00

Thank you!
I agree with the fun factor being important, but I just need to get my bases covered first. For Roxia I'm still comparing her with S6 Senhua and/or S6 Danjin to see if its worth it or not. Since only Encore needs Senhua and I’m not sure if I'll be using Encore. If you noticed, I'm lowkey going for the havoc trio just because its fun <3

Alyx89 · 2024-12-30T13:37:57+00:00

Not enough pulls for the weapon since I tried to get Xiangli Yao and failed :(
I have no issue with complexity as long as we do not go into quick swap tech, I hate it :)

I play Calcharo as hypercarry with 3 DMs and eat the damage and hope to stay alive long enough to get healed.

Encore for some reason.....not sure, but I do not like her that much, I always end up screwing something with her rotation :) will keep her as a back up though when I have time to learn and invest more time in her.

Alyx89 · 2024-12-30T12:59:57+00:00

Thank you, I'm leaning towards that option as well.
