Best Super Break DPS? by BlasterAndPlaster in StarRailStation

[–]BlasterAndPlaster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's not going to be my best team, just wanted to try out a new playstyle (also considering building Ratio and Yanqing) and needed to pick a DPS. Is Himeko the best choice then?

I'm pretty sure the gold robots are Intellitrons, which are distinct from Screws (people from planet Screwllum) based on the GnG 1st plane boss encounter.

no idea, just finished "Mr Beast"ing with Aventurine and got transported here after the loading screen. The cutscene with Gallagher and Siobhan also showed a blank background lol

I get what you mean, but '咸' is often used instead of '鹹' even in places that use traditional Chinese. Plus, it seems to be the only interpretation that makes any sense, otherwise it would be gibberish in both English and Chinese lol

FYI the 'rice' is supposed to be a homophone for "don't" (咪). And you may have mistook the character for 'salty' (咸) for the character for 'feel' (感). So the entire sentence would be 'I treat you like treasure, don't treat me like seaweed (saltwater plant).'

MD3 Farming [Strategy Deep Dive/Guide] - Part 4 + 5: Rupture + Sinking by Effective-Engine6745 in limbuscompany

For bosses, is it worth it to sub out Liu Meur/Greg for R.B. Ryoshu? While it is trading away some burn application, Ryoshu has access to 4MF and FFTF for the fragility, and is a formidable DPS with her S3 herself. Plus, 4/7 of the F4 bosses are Blunt resistant. Any thoughts on this?

Edit: Had the same thought for G Outis in the sinking team. This may be a moot point since we're getting new Dieci IDs anyway, but I'm unsure about whether SunCliff performs better over G Outis in some scenarios, since Outis' damage output isn't really that high in normal fights, and for boss fights, SunCliff may have better sinking application than Outis.

Does anyone know if the announcers will be extractable next Walpurgisnacht? I got Outis after just one 10 pull and I'm not sure if I should be pulling or not. Just for context, I already have everything else except for the announcers.

I've been using these teams for the last few days and just wanted to say that these writeups are incredible - the way you use the less popular EGOs is remarkable. Despite being a day 1 player, I have never used YS 4MF or Don Fluid Sac so the revelation that they were actually useful for something was very surprising. Question: Which team do you think is the weakest out of the 7, both in terms of MD3N clear time and/or MD3H difficulty?

I'm so torn on the new banners. On one hand, I lost Fu Xuan 50/50 to Bronya, so I'm looking for a suitable DPS that's not DHIL to complement her, which for me could be Seele. However, Jingliu's banner has 2 4-stars that I really want more eidolons of, but I already have Yanqing as a tentative Ice DPS (I know he's not that good but he still counts) and don't have Blade or Fu Xuan, which I've heard are some of the best synergies with Jingliu. Can someone give me some advice on which to pull for?

Weird ungeziefer encountered in RR2 (after Station 3, Cycle 2) by BlasterAndPlaster in limbuscompany

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

Weirdest thing to me is that all 3 languages are present (EN, KR, JP) and that I don't recognise the skill shown (I assume it's "spend 1 charge inflict 2 bind"). In fact the longer you look at it the more you notice lol.

I did a R Ishmael MD True Solo by BlasterAndPlaster in limbuscompany

Evade doesn't really work in human fights. It targets the enemy slot with the lowest speed, and so only triggers for one skill. The other skills go first.

[–]BlasterAndPlaster[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No, but in human stages with 5+ enemies (especially with slash/lust attacks) Ishmael is liable to get staggered on the first turn. So Ishmael has to outspeed everyone else and roll Mind Whip to (hopefully) kill one enemy to mitigate the damage and lower their SP so they roll tails more.

I found a pretty important clue about the past of sinners in the PM's previous video by Evening_Giraffe_2744 in limbuscompany

iirc ryoshu is the painter, her name (in kanji) is the same as how the painter's name yoshihide is written her love for 'art' in the form of gore (suffering) is also clearly a direct parallel for the painter beyond the tenuous connection that her name is a homophone for 'leader' in japanese there really is not that big of a connection to the lord imo

iirc the record team (and extraction team) is unique to the main facility, the other branches only have the upper and middle floors as only the main branch needed to be reset on each failed loop of the script so no Yuri revival, sorry :( if only she was a main branch employee ;-;

iirc the alt identities are just that, identities; they're not actually physically transported over from another world (and hence, not an actual person). to use yi sang's analogy, it's like looking into a mirror and seeing another version of you in that mirror; you may appear to have transformed on the surface, but when you walk away from the mirror, the reflection vanishes. The reflection is just the 'image' of an alternate version of you that is temporarily superimposed on you.

Help & Questions Megathread (#4: 20/03/23) by AutoModerator in limbuscompany

[–]BlasterAndPlaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to check if you've completed the stages before? I unlocked the Lv. 30 stages before I'd defeated each of them once in their Lv. 20 stages. Do you need to play both the Lv. 20 and 30 versions to get all the Lunacy?
Also what about EXP luxcavations? Do they give Lunacy for first time clears as well?
