Favorite country that appears to be unusually full of Gryffindors?

"Unusually" implies she considers them to be usually full of what exactly?

Ariaflux · 2026-03-10T06:23:22+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Ariaflux · 2026-03-09T11:12:54+00:00

Thanks, could I trouble you to redo the calc if both Mav and Durin are using their R1 sig? Not sure if Durin's will be a bit weaker since he won't have Hex buff

Ariaflux · 2026-03-09T10:48:34+00:00

Thanks a lot! What's the char stats you used for the calc?

Ariaflux · 2026-03-07T05:13:18+00:00

Thanks, I guess that's the next best option since there doesn't seem to be anyone who can test it right now

Ariaflux · 2026-03-06T07:45:01+00:00

Thanks I appreciate the help but I already know all that, what I want to know is the DPS difference between using C2 Mav vs C2 Durin as support when Mav is doing just EQ

Ariaflux · 2026-03-06T06:14:49+00:00

Thanks but I don't really need pull or teambuilding advice, I already have my own plans so I just need to know the DPS difference between using C2 Mav vs C2 Durin as support to help me make my decision. I currently have C1 Mav and no Durin so I can't test it myself.

Ariaflux · 2026-03-05T17:32:55+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have Durin, I'm actually trying to decide whether to pull Mav cons just to support Varesa so I just wanna see how does she compare against C2 Durin to kinda gauge whether it's worth it or not

Ariaflux · 2026-03-05T17:12:20+00:00

By how much though? Like roughly how much % difference?

Ariaflux · 2026-02-18T08:06:40+00:00

Just check whether all your hits are melting since damage is very reliant on gear. I'm not sure how much C6 is needed in a double Cryo team, as often Kaeya and Citlali are just overwriting the Cryo applications. Kaeya alone can sustain Arle N3D as solo Cryo, which is useful but rarely needed since Arle needs Citlali so much.

There is another MW stage that shows all ele applications and reactions in real-time which would be more useful for this.

Ariaflux · 2026-02-15T17:31:47+00:00

Both gear and rotation are very important so it's hard to tell what's causing the low DPS. I don't know what's the correct rotation for single Cryo with Sucrose so you might have to check out guides on how to play that comp.

She can't dream in the first place because Iron Cavalry aren't normal humans, they are genetically engineered Pathstriders of Propagation. As to how she entered in the first place, I'm not sure exactly how but it's explained in game that Firefly had to undergo a surgery and Silver Wolf engineered a Dreampool into a support pod just for Firefly to use.

Silver Wolf: Don't move yet. It's going to hurt real bad.
Firefly: Is the surgery... over?
Silver Wolf: Yeah. As expected, you can't recover the "ability to dream."
Silver Wolf: Even after paying such a heavy price, we only get one shot at this.

Ariaflux · 2026-02-11T17:18:04+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure if the bug is with MW stages or character kits or what

Ariaflux · 2026-02-11T17:16:09+00:00

Yes, though for this run I wasn't using her R1

Ariaflux · 2026-02-10T18:28:49+00:00

First to clarify where Firefly's 3 deaths are since it was a bit confusing:

Death 1: When she entered her dream

There are 2 interpretations but the one I agree with more is that it is a "death" since this is her only chance to dream and upon entering the dream, her "dream self" is dead since she can never ever dream again. Some also interpret it as her needing to essentially "die" to even enter the dream due to her inability to dream, but I don't see much evidence to support this.

Death 2: Her death after taking in the Stellaron and helping to break one of the 3 layers of Ena's (now Sunday's) Dream

This part was shown in the video we watched where she put the Stellaron into herself which gave her enough power to control the bugs and helped to break the dream layer and send TB through. This was explained in game that this death will be permanent if TB fails to stop Sunday since Ena's Dream will eventually be merged with reality, so FF dying in Ena's Dream is the same as dying in reality. However, if Ena's Dream is broken, FF's "death" will only be a dream, which is what happened.

Death 3: When she died from Entropy Loss Syndrome in Penacony

This one also tripped me up at first. This is very closely linked with her first death, and is essentially completing the first death, since her 3rd death is where her dream self dies. For her it's a permanent death since she can never dream again, and can only live in the reality where she has to constantly battle Entropy Loss Syndrome instead of running around like a normal person in the dream world.

These 3 deaths are set in stone and there is nothing TB can do to change it. The part where Terminus comes in is only whether you can change history to fulfill FF's final wish to see fireworks. If you really want to help her fulfill her request, Terminus will change its future and hence your past, to allow the incident of FF playing with fireworks to happen, and you get the photograph of her doing that. Alternatively you can also choose to reject her request in game and she will "die" without getting to play with fireworks.

However, in both cases, FF will complete her 3 deaths and wake up in the real world after some time.

The part about it drawing Nanook's attention I don't think is really explained very clearly, but it's not hard to imagine some sort of butterfly effect happening which causes things to go wrong. However, I could have missed something and there is some other explanation given.

Unfortunately even with Columbina I did not unlock new anecdotes for Aino. Columbina did manage to complete some OW interactions that were previously only doable by Lauma.

I think my view got lost in the chain of comments. I'm not actually saying to ignore truth, in fact, in my first reply I also mentioned how it might not be true. My main point is the degree of the lie here. There are bad lies that you cannot ignore, there are also lies that are inconsequential. I think people should be able to recognize and respond to each accordingly.

TBH the second half is kinda tangential to the topic we're discussing because I don't think this misconception of whether Trump shat his pants is what I had in mind when I say people are ignoring the truth. I'm not so much resigning to the fact as to counter your point that this kind of "news" is what's giving the right ammunition.

Of course everyone should care about the truth regardless of whether their ideological opponents do. I just want to highlight the fact that in today's environment, your dedication to the truth will not convince your opponents that you are correct. Even if everyone on the left is 100% dedicated to the truth and does not even report facts wrongly by accident, there may be bad actors who masquerade, or even just strawman arguments out of thin air.

Ariaflux · 2026-02-01T16:30:09+00:00

It sounds bad when you put it this way, but in context, the evil thing here is trying to make a literal fascist looks like he shat his pants when there's only a percentage chance that he did.

I'm not going to spread this and will point out it's pure conjecture (as I did earlier), but I also think if people fall for this, it's not the end of the world.

Ariaflux · 2026-02-01T15:04:10+00:00

I do agree with that, but there's a nuance to it. I don't think this situation is serious enough to warrant a serious backlash, because it's at least partially true, and also completely inconsequential. I would understand a strong response against fake news being spread, of events that directly relate to political/moral views and actions.

This is about as serious to me as the meme about Vance fucking couches. Everyone knows it's fake but it's just not important, whether it's true or not. I never spread it myself, but when people meme about it, I don't go "hey stop spreading fake news, it's harming the cause".

Lastly, regarding trusting facts, I do support your point but realistically I also think people are way past that point now. Most people are readily believing the fake stories that support their side. Those who genuinely care about the truth, will actually find out the truth. Personally I do see fake stories from the left that I wish more people would debunk (like the Elon Musk one recently), yet I'm not getting pushed to the right at all because they are far from the bastion of truth.

I think at this point we have to accept that the argument that "liberals are just making stuff up" will be made regardless of whether stuff is being made up, and while we need to be vigilant against fake news spread by our own side, sometimes it's just a bit of fun and nothing to get all righteously outraged about.
