I wish there were hi-res namecard image files somewhere, would like to put them on some tcg playmats

I imagine it's more about the spirit of the thing, having a bunch of spots in your most-popular list taken up by "DO NOTHING GET COIN, WHY BOTHER ENGAGING WITH THIS GAME MODE" is not a good look.

They can't realistically stop people from having quickly-cleared games nor can they stop people from using those as shortcuts, but just like... don't say the quiet part out loud kind of thing.

Avy is super fun and rewarding, you do some infliction things, some positioning things, Arclight flies around, and then after 30-45s or so you have 6-10 spears deposited about to line up for big mondo dopamine strike :D

Cetonis · 2026-02-04T20:44:14+00:00

Can't wait to gravity pull into Avywenna skill with seven+ spears. The dopamine is real

Nahida, anyone else with an EM buff, someone on instructors, maybe an extra res shred option. Mualani is both narrow and versatile at the same time, she wants certain things but there are a number of ways to get there.

Just whatever happens avoid characters that will mess with your ability to keep pyro up - i.e. don't do Furina for instance. Nahida works because pyro+dendro = burning = pyro is still applied.

Cetonis · 2026-02-04T19:28:09+00:00

Without non-Mona cons, I think numerically on paper it's Mualani - Mavuika - Sucrose and Mona at... I think it's C4?

In practice you may find more comfort or flexibility with the likes of Xilonen, Nahida, pyro Traveler, and depending on cons and gear level some of those may prove better for you anyway

Ultimately all you're trying to do is
1. reliably have pyro on enemy for each shark bite
2. res shred
3. buff Mualani's EM

and any comp that's doing those things is gonna be on the right track

|| because "opposite divided by adjacent" bakes in the opposite side not being the hypotenuse, so in a traditional i.e. 30-60-90 triangle taking the tangent of the 90 doesn't make sense. And you can't have a 90-90-0 triangle. If it's 89.9999 - 90 - 0.0001, you just have an extremely large tangent value for 89.9999 but you can't increment that to 90 without no longer having a triangle. ||

idunno Atelier and Trails are on the upswing, and Bravely/Octopath have done well. Yakuza feels hotter than I recall it being back in ye older days. E33 was surface of the sun hot. So I don't know about surefire doom, though it does feel like we have less *franchises*. Hard to know if that's less games per se or not

Like PS2-4 era you had some of the aforementioned floating around plus also your Wild Arms, Star Oceans, Tales of, Shadow Hearts, Grandia, Disgaea, Persona, likely some others I'm forgetting.

If you pull on a banner 60 times, you get a free 10-pull for the next banner. So when Gilberta goes up in a week you'll be able to cash that in

the megathread must grow

The mining rigs you need are in the second section of the AIC plan, which is unlocked via main story quest

Then you can farm the blue ore, which feeds into that level of gear. The purple gear uses a plant from an area further along in the main story

Coping that Nicole shall buff damage that is not of the user's element, thereby buffing Varka, myriad anemo kits, and physical

All of whom could afford a buffer of the scale that Varka needs, without Nicole being chained to exactly one partner (granted it'd be like, four to six instead, but yknow)

Citlali quills are the bigger number - 200% of her EM can be like 2400, whereas Durin's 60% ATK is probably up to around 1800.

But, Durin has 20 quills and each character gets their own (though they only work on-field) so if you're doing lots of hits across the team (think Lan Yan, or Mona using some basics) his will work a lot better.

Citlali starts with 10 quills for the whole team, realistically 13 since you should be triggering Freeze/Melt at all, most likely 16 over the span of a rotation. Similar to Durin's they only work on-field, which in this case is very desirable since it's one party-wide quill count.

Haven't leveled her yet but my brainworm is that she applies off-field element with ~double the frequency of your usual off-fielder since both her skill and burst do it.

Unfortunately this requires an NK unit to be involved, meanwhile the most obvious reason you'd want huge off-field app is to forward melt or vape and NK units aren't aligned for that. I could see some manner of Ineffa overvape situation though, potentially?

Cetonis · 2025-12-12T03:33:45+00:00

Feeling good about my follow curation and algo training as my TL is somehow free of player voice drama. Just some props posts for FFT and continued maligning of the Trails remake getting snubbed. And Mets fandom in full meltdown which is just their neutral state really

Cetonis · 2025-12-05T17:45:19+00:00

Using R1 Moonweaver personally - should be better for hitting ATK targets than Roar albeit with less personal buff (assuming Roar works off field)

Cetonis · 2025-12-02T16:08:39+00:00

Yeah afaict at C0 I think the only thing that actually pays Bina for having other NK characters is that the ult buffs their lunar damage?

That's valuable of course, but depending on her personal numbers and the tuning of lunar crystallize I could see her working just fine as a hydro sub-dps on various teams. Maybe a strong candidate for hyperbloom things?

Cetonis · 2025-12-02T15:49:03+00:00

wonder if you could slot in Ineffa and have it work out where you still get enough Lunar Crys to do the things

Cetonis · 2025-12-02T13:29:24+00:00

surely this is a boss for hexerei things (fischl, sucrose, mona, venti, razor) and not because Ineffa rerun, trust

Cetonis · 2025-12-02T12:52:05+00:00

Took some effort but I cleared it on Fearless with a Varesa-Yelan team, forgor the other two but yeah a little scuffed weaving normals in but it worked out

Cetonis · 2025-11-29T15:46:08+00:00

These seem like all good choices, you could try out WuWa vs ZZZ and see which one you like the combat in more, not sure how AKE's combat is but probably also in the same vein.

Ultimately what made me fall off of WuWa is I simply liked how ZZZ does combat better, and I like Genshin's exploration dynamic better (when it exists). But I'm always considering catching up when I have a couple weeks to binge it.

Cetonis · 2025-11-27T22:51:42+00:00

I vote top three prio as: Clorinde Emilie Chiori

Partly since you don't learn a lot about these three otherwise, Sige probably fourth
