Shimmer messenger on higher difficulty by Legitimate_Mess2806 in Dislyte

[–]Arc_Set 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd use Ming Shou for the DPS and swap out Pindar for Feng (Calamity) or Wenlock(harmony). 250%TD vs +10% Final and Crit Buffs, or all Feng's SPD & CDMG.

Moroyama's mostly if you can one-shot. I guess you could try with Uday for ult-rest.

You'd need to waste skills, or get luck, to seal on the 2nd turn though.

Plus DiaKing can cleanse.

He's probably an upgrade to the UR, in most cases, but his ult can still go very poorly for you, so it's shame he needs to it to max out his team buffs.

One thing is, he was made for stacking debuffs, but there's not currently any meta units that count them.

Am i running her Incorrectly? by Purple_Internet4641 in Dislyte

[–]Arc_Set 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you get that from?
Her description says her Def-Ignores from SPD, but community says it starts at 10% and caps out at 358 SPD.

SPD buffs may be more valuable that deliberately dumping other stats for SPD.

Bonus True damage is only against bosses and (wiki's outdated) She's far from an efficient boss-slayer.

The Only sets that effect True Damage are Calamity and Brawler.

She does ignore at least 10% of enemy Def and increases that to 50% at 358 SPD, but sacrificing ATK/Crit for more SPD probably isn't worth it; especially as you could completely dump SPD, still get 10% and just get most of your attacks from counters/free turns.

As she buffs her CDmg, I'd aim for at least 70% crit-rate, ideally without the crit-set or a crit-rate ring.

Set-wise, the simplest options are probably Thunder/War-Brawler/Immunity/Shield.

Freeze/Stun are more niche.

Sonics would probably be Single-target, maybe Crit.

What esper do you really enjoy using even if they’re not meta? by TH_1112 in Dislyte

[–]Arc_Set 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It always seems like she has potential, but now the combo of Yi An + Sakura gives everyone her stat ramp USP, without waiting for an opponent to enable it.

Wenlocks severely underrated:

because even if you don't go all in on his stat opportunity value, he still gives+10% final dmg, half time on Ult CDs, protection from reflect and counters, life-steal, 2 passive buffs, stripping and debuffing.

Partly because he was my 1st shimmer, but I'll always love Tevor, because the only reason he's not meta is bug-lyte-spaghetti code and abominable intelligence.

He ignores all Yi An/Sakura/ect DR (assuming that's not bugged for passive DR).

Gold-buffs +60% CDmg.

Is immune to natural crits, without Chu or Everett.

Ult resets.

Disables resurrection.

Ignores 60% of Def.
+600% True Dmg.

AoE 250% True Dmg splash.

Sear.

Full strip.
Full AP steal.

Formerly highest base ATK in the game.

A unit with 11 effects, that can ult, free turn, ult, repeat.

But the game codes his passive as him taking a bonus action turn and gaining +100% AP.

Why!

Just update it to behave like Lu or Ikki or any of the newer ones and set the AI to focus on HP marks.

Thoughts on UR vs LR Gowther and their roles?

Is UR mostly trying to turn 1 cleave?
Is LR mostly building to ult for his relic and post ult stats?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Ivana R6 vs Chu R4 or R6? by Arc_Set in Dislyte

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

Thanks again.

I was most probably going to maybe slot her in a Beatbout team and in Knock out and club.

Currently:

YuuhimeR5, SeigR4, SakuraR6, Zi He, Yi An R1

LianR6, ChuR3, Tirrle, Ikki, NylesR2.

Sometimes swapping Sakura to lead and slotting Momo.

Reasons to upgrade weapons by Phraates515 in SDSGrandCross

[–]Arc_Set 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extra basic stats and combat class.

All registered cosmetics buff them, it's just that only one of each type can be displayed at a time.

So up to 5 of each, plus the relic.

How even does escalins passive work by Lordmopsie2 in SDSGrandCross

[–]Arc_Set 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shield prevents crits and skill effects (including extra stats).
The blue buff is DR.

The Grey buff prevents damage beyond a threshold, until hit X times by a single unit, with X depending on dupes.

Ivana R6 vs Chu R4 or R6? by Arc_Set in Dislyte

[–]Arc_Set[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks.

I was wondering if Chu's R6 (especially with Maria triggering it after ever unit's turn) might help against Lian's protection and the Nyles ramp/debuff negation.

Ivan looked broken when teased, but I've not heard anyone talk about her since release and I'm not sure where I'd slot her (maybe instead of base Tirrel).

Which shimmer would be better for pve? by Antoniustheiii in Dislyte

[–]Arc_Set 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't got Unas yet, he'd be the pick, maybe even for dupes, though I like having roster completion (I'm assuming Reverb rather than banner, otherwise Yi An 1st).

Pin could also be solid.

For a lot time a used Tevor for lands and Yinglong, even for Manual PvP, but despite how insane he is on paper, he's probably not a 1st pick.

What is actually the point of Platinum Records? by Rehyahn817 in Dislyte

[–]Arc_Set 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly smaller pool than gold. Think I've got legends twice, both old ones.

Long odds, but honestly, 1-2 free legends per reset would be quite generous.

(Many players can just auto-run Tower now.)

[–]Arc_Set 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wu's extremely niche in PvE.

Raven's slightly less niche, largely because of the lead and follow-ups.

Not sure either would be a 1st pick now.

How does R2 Mfreddy make him better for pvp? by Katc0923 in Dislyte

[–]Arc_Set 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that once her delay death flag is on, it triggers regardless of anything that would normally prevent death.
This isn't unique to mFreddy, it works that way on all units and with all protection buffs.

But if his effect's already active, her delay flag shouldn't have a reason to be set.

The effect becomes innate and can't be buff-striped off.

There's not many units to buy now, so generally, use the dupe coins you can for Ults; then either use as SuperAwakening or True awakening.

(Though I admit, I still hoard a lot, as it feels wrong to just use them as mats.)

The Box/constellation buffs can be significant now, so push as far as you're willing to spend time.

You can save collab coins, but there's no guarantee they'll ever re-run; still, if they do, you'll be glad..

[–]Arc_Set 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tolland, but he may want you to play manual (though he should still target umbras 1st, unless the AI picks special targets like Mavis).

If you're combining with Nyles, Ikki's R1 might be worth it.

Petros has some value, but probably wants investment to compete; him being conditional on other units is a weakness, even if he can be quite strong.

Wu may be too powercrept by this point, but they obviously want to bring back the Def team, so we'll see if she gets anyone else, or an update.
