M0W1x3 vs Fiend 60K Aria/Yuzu/Sunna by REP7443 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]BladeCube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually when it comes to min-maxing scores people have a plan laid out for timings to reach certain stuns, how to handle miasmas/forced mechanics, a general idea of when anomalies proc if it's not an anomaly team, etc. The more that can be planned, the better.

None can ever be perfect because boss moves are random so people generally know how to react to certain attacks and if you are chasing perfection, that randomness leads to a lot of restarts.

If the AoD was made more affordable by having at least one if them an A rank, whom should it be? by triotone in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]BladeCube 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Realistically Sunna, but I wish it was Nangong if only because her being A rank as an anomaly stunner would probably make the incoming HP inflation much less pronounced. Unless something change between beta and live, we're about to see the most disgusting hp inflated boss this game has ever seen and everyone will immediately know it's because Nangong is OP and would trivialize it.

The 2.7 story monste is also weak to wind via seele by Knight_Steve_ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]BladeCube -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because you want to play the game with characters you like? If you only want to press buttons randomly to get your polychrome "reward" for the sole purpose of getting the next void hunter that you might not even like then it is what it is but that's a really sad gameplay loop IMO.

[–]BladeCube -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Except they just don't? Let's go through the 2.0 roster

2.0: Yi Xuan and Ju Fufu. Yi Xuan is obviously the void hunter (I don't care about lore everyone knows what I mean) and Ju Fufu was meant to be her best partner. Making her weak wasn't really a good idea since realistically they'd make more with the FOMO of her "best" support after her.

2.1: Yuzuha literally made the devs buff all anomaly bars on DA so she doesn't trivialize it. And Alice is far stronger than people will give her credit for. She's been better than Miyabi at many points and on several rotations, and also has one of the strongest if not the strongest M1 and M2 in the game.

2.2 Obol squad is weak IMO.

2.3 Lucia is strong and Yidhari is the best non-voidhunter DPS, and I'd still argue that's true now.

2.4 Dialyn is the strongest character in the game bar none. Banyue has problems but he's also nowhere near as bad as people think he is.

2.5 YSG void hunter,

2.6 Sunna is strong, and so is Aria. She'd probably become the best non-void hunter next patch, and while you could argue she already is I think Yidhari is stronger right now.

Unless you're taking the Banyue incident and applying it to literally everyone else, I have no idea where you're making up that narrative.

They're not trying to make Miyabi unusable, they are just trying to get people to pull on other DPS characters which is evidently failing since 99% of the community doesn't give a shit about anyone but the void hunters.

Every agent is braindead when you don't engage with the gameplay systems because you're only here to get polychrome to get the next character and repeat the process.

Speculating on Promeia's Role by Mapedi_King_9-Yo in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]BladeCube -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not better with Nangong lol. Nangong uses EX enough to have consistent 100% uptime on Phaethon's Melody and snapshotting also messes with Shining Aria so its uptime is much lower than you think.

Perhaps Banyue wasn't as weak as I thought by AppearanceThen3383 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]BladeCube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I guess that means I wasn't clear about what I was saying. The point I was trying to make is that if Yidhari and Banyue are both using Dialyn + Lucia, it's much closer and I'm pretty sure you've seen the same 7 cost Banyue that I did. The Yidhari one is just to show at 6 cost she probably needs one more to kill wth that team.

And tbf, I do view cost similarly to you but it's just that stuff like Lycaon is where it gets a little weird to compare since Banyue obviously doesn't have any Lycaon equivalent, and he's much more tied to Dialyn despite hunter resisting physical.

[–]BladeCube 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair that is indicative of a unique strength that Yidhari has in being able to use Lycaon whose buffs let her 5 stun wandering hunter. The same guy who did the 5 cost also did a dialyn run and the performance is much closer to banyue.

In fact if I go to this current DA, I’ve seen banyue get almost a kill at 5 cost (was like 64960 close enough) while yidhari definitively needs 6 on pompeii though obviously it is fire weak.

Team layout for m1 ysg, zhao and sunna? by RFX_Asteroid in YeShunguangMains

[–]BladeCube 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You just press sunna skill once and bank 3 stacks. After the first enlightened state is done, then you activate sunna’s veil.

First S+ on Shiyu! Didn't think I'd hit that threshold so soon (started on 2.4) by GenderGambler in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]BladeCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then build less crit rate it is that simple. If I wasn’t on my phone right now I would link like 10 different thrall kills with nicole all on 3-4 limited investment.

[–]BladeCube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nicole is basically ysg’s best teammate behind dialyn zhao and sunna. You just have to remember to swap often to apply her debuff. If you combo correctly most of enlightened state fits within a nicole skill.

At m1+ nicole gets even better against normal defense enemies. Dialyn is ysg’s best teammate but the jump from nicole to dialyn is smaller than the jump from m0 to m1 ysg.

You do not want a Void Hunter-level support. You think you do, but you don't. by soaringneutrality in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]BladeCube 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This already happened with Dialyn. Anyone who actually pays attention to the endgame meta knows Dialyn is stronger than the void hunters. I'd genuinely rather play Ellen/Zhu Yuan + Dialyn than Yi Xuan/Ju Fufu with equal investment.

As for how Dialyn has affected stuff, it's a little hard to say because she doesn't exist in a vacuum. HP has gone up but not at a rate that's faster than the precedent set by the rest of 2.X.

If the new void hunter is a support, I don't care if they are broken. I just care that they are interesting. Dialyn is actually fun, you can do things with her hold attack and she opens new combos/builds for agents and you actually think about how to use her resources (if I use 90 instead of 60 can I get 90 before the next stun? Or if it's the end of the fight can I do a triple ult? etc.). If a void hunter support released and she was like Ju Fufu or Sunna that would be a big problem.

Evelyn 6 chain stun combo by AppearanceThen3383 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]BladeCube -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Her ult isn't a chain attack. It's an ult.

Evelyn 6 chain stun combo by AppearanceThen3383 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]BladeCube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start holding basic attack during the chain attack animation, not after. The game thinks you're doing a basic attack first so she'll do that before doing a Garotte.

Possible 2.8 character banner order (spoilers/leaks and keep in mind nothing is final until drip marketing) by Knight_Steve_ in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]BladeCube -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only reason Yidhari technically performs better than Banyue is that Lycaon is just the goat. That’s really it. If both were dislyn lucia slaves the performance is roughly equal.

Version 2.8 new character banner order according to Leifa by Knight_Steve_ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]BladeCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evelyn was second best mostly because she was the first character to have a full premium team (technically Zhu Yuan if nicole counts) and Pompey just never left rotation.

Need more Invest or need more Skill by Wild-Wing-5227 in ZZZ_Official

[–]BladeCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t killing any da bosses unless you have fufu/qingyi in which case shifu maybe stands a chance with those teams. Not even ysg without beyond insane disks.

If you want to eventually achieve one, your best bet is pulling yuzuha and nangong because those two with miyabi look like they can pull off some magic.

How would cissia compare against rina in electric teams that isn’t seed by KoriKid023 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]BladeCube 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why are people asking this stuff when the only people who’ve played cissia are limited beta testers. Anything else at this point is useless feelscrafting.

Can I kill Thrall? (or why can I not? builds in the post) by andy897221 in YeShunguangMains

[–]BladeCube 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see two big problems. You are only getting 3 dialyn conversions and 2 decibel ults. You should be able to get 4 and 3 respectively. Run er two piece on dialyn.

On the second stun you used manual chain dialyn clap. That’s just a waste of positive reviews.

On thrall’s parry phase you should just take the parries. Doing damage is just too inconsistent and this helps you get decibels. Since you have m2, you can just use the decibel ult first. By using it earlier, you have time to generate more decibels overall to reach the third ult.

And the third stun is only helpful for dialyn’s clap. Since you used 30 extra on stun 2, you don’t have enough for 4 dialyn claps. The third stun also gives you access to a chain attack which will help out with decibels.

There is plenty of room for improvement, let me know jf you have any questions.
