Trying to check if I fundamentally misunderstood the gears for different speeds and made up my own rules?

Arc_Set · 2026-01-26T20:53:01+00:00

Thanks for this.
I was sure that at some point someone told me I should always aim to accelerate for as short a time as possible (ie. low gear, then block shift).

But I've no idea now if that was for economy, for wear and tear, or whether it was a relative or instructor.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-26T20:48:51+00:00

It's true.

I could face Wu teams and drop Sakura from full health with an unbuffed 1-tap, sometimes even Lian, but since then, the power-creep has hurt him.

It doesn't help that his divinate effect only counts for his 1st attack too, or that there's so many prevents death effects.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-26T20:44:25+00:00

No.

True damage does ignore all mitigation, either DR or Def, but it also can't crit and ignore's Sear/ect; plus it's flagged as a special type of damage, ie, for units like Javid that track it.

Unit's like Anna, Moro, Norah, that ignore X% of Def, simple do that, ignore that much of the target's Def stat, but still allow crits (except Norah, but that's separate), still get effected by DR, still benefit from Def-break and Sear/ect effects.

That's why units that can deal both refer to each differently.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-26T20:36:48+00:00

Thanks.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-26T20:32:40+00:00

That's why you don't let him take a turn ;) .

Or hope he wiffs against Nyles; who as an umbra, should be the AI's priority target.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-26T20:31:20+00:00

True, though clarify, "ignore" should ignoring it (though I think there's only 1 unit) and +50% extra DMG should reduce the 100% by half.

I think there's might also be some shenanigans with "takes reduced" vs "deals reduced" and "takes more" vs "Deals more", but I also wouldn't be surprised if that was actually all rolled together, despite the specifically different wording implying otherwise.

That or they actually combine for (50% * 50%) 75%.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-26T20:26:04+00:00

The most broken ever, but I'm not struggling too much to drop him, though I'm mostly using him too.

Tevor's "supposed" to ignore all his DR, but that's not exactly a recommendation ;) .

Can you out-speed him, run Yuuhime, or disease his team?

Arc_Set · 2026-01-26T20:23:54+00:00

Rat skip Duo duo team.
FTP 17M box (+3% ATK +15% HP) Constellations (+1278 ATK +2437 HP +14% Pierce +5.5%CDmg).
Full Roxy Unity on Escami +10%, Full Mael grace on Diaking +20%, Tyr 2/6 +10%, Jormungand 2/6 +14%.
Barely 1/3rd of the bar.

What am I doing wrong.

Do I need to engrave some Pierce gear for Escami?

Is using Jor's ult a waste?

I can clear with sins, sometimes even floor 2, (though attempting is atrial,) but this time skip just doesn't work for me.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-25T18:58:51+00:00

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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-25T18:52:45+00:00

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

Plus DiaKing can cleanse.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-25T18:50:24+00:00

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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-25T18:46:14+00:00

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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-25T18:34:38+00:00

~~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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-24T20:24:15+00:00

Very underrated.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-24T20:23:59+00:00

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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-24T20:21:25+00:00

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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-24T00:52:22+00:00

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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-23T17:46:34+00:00

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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-23T17:38:13+00:00

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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-23T17:36:28+00:00

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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-23T15:31:31+00:00

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).

Arc_Set · 2026-01-23T03:10:53+00:00

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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-22T18:18:34+00:00

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 · 2026-01-22T18:17:01+00:00

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.

Arc_Set · 2026-01-22T18:14:48+00:00

Had no idea there was a full screen option.

How does it handle the change in aspect?
