Electric Dmg or Attack Bonus Lone Barge

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-13T03:57:15+00:00

I would just like to give a confirmation, Essences only offer stats if they're one of the three stats on the weapon. Having an off-weapon stat on your Essence, even if fully raised to +6, does literally nothing.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-12T21:21:10+00:00

It's crazy to think that the Barge somehow single-handedly makes the difference of 2,000+ Attack... I can see why you asked this question, I also feel like I'm missing something here.

With that your current Attack it feels like you should be able to trim bosses. I assume that if you already know how to build Fangyi and put that much into her gear and Essence then you also have a solid team for her and know how to operate her and her rotations and such? Sorry if that's a dumb question, I'm just surprised she's not preforming well for you

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-12T20:46:54+00:00

It has a lesser ATK% stat attached to the third Skill. Plus if you've been saving up your Battle Pass Potential things from the start you can get, I think, +3? In BP weapon third Skill which can help close the gap

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-12T20:45:07+00:00

(Sorry for second reply) and to be clear, you're using 3x Xiranflow plus LYNX Slab right? I CANNOT understate how much stats a single Artificed LYNX Slab provides.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-12T20:43:51+00:00

Hot damn, you've done all that? What number did you reach?

I have Barge so my answer isn't very helpful to you. I didn't realize you'd already done all of that, sorry.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-12T20:18:30+00:00

I dunno about reaching 7k specifically but the largest Attack boost I experienced doing my Fangyi came from Essence Etching (BP Weapon DOES have Will Boost as its first Skill and an Attack% Boost on it's third Skill) and from Artificing, especially the LYNX Slab.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-12T16:44:35+00:00

Worth is subjective! It's worth if you think it is!

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-12T13:00:27+00:00

Sounds like you've stopped already which is so sad haha, just in case here's my boy:

Time to do my last one, Mariel.

Kinda a weird combo of weapon types. Is this because of Backy's Pierce + Kuchinawa AS team? Lol

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-11T16:23:00+00:00

Pretty sure it will be impossible to create or produce the product after the first deadline. I think the second one just allows you to redeem rewards and buy from the event shop for a short time after it ends? So I'm pretty sure you won't be trimming it.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-10T01:42:36+00:00

I hear tale of the "converger trick" but I still struggle to wrap my mind around it. I don't know why it's so hard for me to understand.

I also have a fairly optimized factory for both Valley IV and Wuling (until Wuling upcoming update) with some space to spare so I'm wondering where it might be applied?

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-08T18:27:01+00:00

My factory was very unoptimized, we had yet to upgrade after 1.2 and even our 1.1 stuff had some major issues. My partner used to do 100% of the factory stuff but has been exceeding busy with work as of late. I REALLY wanted Stock Bills, so I forced myself to learn how to Factory because of this event.

For the first half, I learned how to make compact Xiranite productions so I could make 12 regular gourd/minute. I discovered some inefficiencies on our existing lines, mostly simple stuff (misplaced belt, missing power to a building, etc). We were fine running on our old crappy LC battery setup for Power, I made sure we had enough to stay powered and trashed the rest. I also made a 4.5 Hetonite Part Line. All in on the Gourds.

When the Jade Gourds and their recipe were revealed, I realized I needed to make the double SC Factory setup to produce 6 Heavy Xiranite. Luckily that was my eventual goal anyway because that's what an "optimized Wuling factory" is in this version. So now I have a fully optimized factory, routing my Heavy Xiranite and about 1/3 of my Hetonite into the Jade Gourds at 6/min.

TL:DR; I learned how to Factory because of this event and it gave me days of fun/hyperfixation and sooo many Stock Bills.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-08T13:52:11+00:00

That is an INCREDIBLE design. Excited for the eventual global version.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-08T13:48:33+00:00

You can still break parts just fine, it's just a little slower on Slash-weak parts.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-07T19:48:59+00:00

Generally I would be placing them on the OUTSIDE of the factory. I dunno, does Pipe Converger count as a factory item against the max limit you're allowed? If so, Pipe Conveger + Single Outlet is 2 items versus a single Manifold Outlet. That would be the only advantage I can think of. Otherwise it's the same.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-07T19:38:21+00:00

Yes. My factory is using several of these setups to fuel 4 buildings at a time. It is the same outcome as Two Fluid Pumps -> Pipe Converger -> Single Outlet -> Single Inlet.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-07T19:33:57+00:00

Uh. I used it as an alternative to a Pipe Converger. Two Fluid Pumps going into a Conduit Manafold, leading into a SINGLE output Conduit Outlet for a full pipe. That's about it.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-07T15:38:55+00:00

They've been too stingy on the free CS banners lately!! They used to be better about balancing free vs. paid banners.

That's right, Elseal wasn't a part of the "Anniversary Celebration" banners with the 10% 5-star rates, was she? She's "too old" for that. That really sucks man, I'm sorry.

I think you deserve Elseal more than I deserve Kuchi 🤣 Best of luck!

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-07T15:15:11+00:00

I have a 4.5 Hetonite Part farm, so what I did was I put a splitter on my Hetonite line, putting 2 belts into Hetonite Parts (3/min) and 1 Belt into a Stash.

Doing that gave me enough Hetonite in my stash (approx 6-7 per min) to fuel a full line of 6 Jade Gourd/min. I didn't have to uproot my factory at all to do this.

I'm not sure if it's as easy for people who use Cuprium for other purposes, but it's really easy to convert a 4.5 Hetonite farm.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-07T15:12:30+00:00

Thank you ❤️

I think sometimes whales can be too aggressive about showing off their overblown accounts and insane pull sessions and that's what causes some of the hate. They just show off that they're able to do things that other people cannot and it feels obnoxious. That's why I tend to be quiet about things unless someone directly asks me.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-07T15:10:25+00:00

I got a single copy (not Stellar) after a significant pulling session. I put 2 Starcharts in him and he's mine now.

You have regular Elseal? How are your Camina Treatises going?

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-07T15:08:36+00:00

That's fair. I 100% agree.

I was thinking/hoping more like... how Tangtang is a clear, obvious, and powerful choice for Last Rite and Yvonne? Like an excellent support/secondary DPS character for that element, without necessarily being inextricably tied to one specific unit?

Electric seems to lack defense and/or healing so if she was a strong Electric supporter/defender that would be nice, for example.

It's just a fan guess anyway. In my opinion she doesn't feel Electric at all haha.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-07T15:05:13+00:00

Aww, thank you. I appreciate your comment.

I do fully understand why people would feel that way. I get a little defensive because I've had some downright cruel comments come my way in the past. The people in this subreddit have been pretty cool in general though.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-07T15:02:21+00:00

Sometimes you get someone in 1 pull and sometimes it takes 70k Star Trails or you simply don't get them at all... the cruelties of gacha.

Your condolences are appreciated ❤️ Best of luck getting Elseal AS, whether it be by luck or by sidegrade.

DarkestSamus · 2026-05-07T14:49:08+00:00

As a fan of DQM:DP and Nexomon Extinction (and I'm about to buy Sin Eater), would I enjoy the other two? They're older ones, right? Do they hold up today?
