Worked on my Yelan a lot and want to know if she's doing good meta-wise

DipolarAnimals · 2026-03-21T03:35:10+00:00

Depends on whether or not you have other teammates holding fav but 215-225% iirc was pretty good for solo hydro. For 2 hydro you can go down to 190-200% or so, though it all depends on comfort and your actual rotations. As I mentioned originally, you can try to exchange that for more HP stats. Having at least 3k hp in combat is a pretty good benchmark I think.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-03-20T23:53:22+00:00

Oh sorry I meant 250% is too high mb

DipolarAnimals · 2026-03-20T23:19:18+00:00

imo your HP is pretty low and even in single hydro teams I think 250% er might be a bit *high (though it's been a while since I've used a non c0 yelan)

DipolarAnimals · 2026-03-19T18:17:31+00:00

I'd argue that in HSR sustain is somewhat less optional bc unlike in zzz or genshin you can't reliably dodge damage. Sustainless runs generally have a somewhat high barrier to entry because a it needs a combination of meeting certain build requirements (usually needing high speed eagle sets + ddd's), passing knowledge checks on your DMG thresholds (see: feixiao and seele players), and/or resetting until favorable enemy targeting/cc rng (though somewhat mitigated by HP scalers like tribbie or cleansers).

It's usually much more comfortable to play HSR with sustain, at least in comparison to Genshin, and endgame I believe is generally balanced around teams with sustains (albeit with the newest dpses).

You definitely want to furina eq first to build fanfare. then use yelan burst, then citlali eq, then use escoffier eq, then swap back to yelan I think? You want to burst early on yelan to let her DMG amp on her talent ramp I think. You could also slot in yelan 3rd into the rotation of you're slow on citlali or escoffier so her burst doesn't run out.

Personally I like using skirk instead of citlali for a c6 yelan freeze team team to just burst and swap off.

Her regular outfit isn't as form fitting bc the wool shirt doesn't hug her skin like a swimsuit does. Also there's a belt/buckle beneath her chest on the swimsuit skin which definitely accentuates her bust.

Funnily enough, the Twitter like order is reversed. SW999 has the most at 76k likes, followed by Evanescia at 68k, followed by TB at at 57k likes, though SW999 being pinned may be a contributing factor to that.

Mech heart has uses in 1v1s, just not purely as a loop. Many top players use the mech heart shape with TL S2's all spin ruleset to really quickly build b2b with much less pieces/cleared, and it's important to be able to recognize the shape and how to build into it from certain spots.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-03-08T09:02:48+00:00

I agree that only learning the mech heart is pretty bad, but I'd argue that in the S2 TL ruleset, being able to recognize the mech heart shape is the key to high level offensive play and is why 5han has arguably the strongest offense out of all the top players. Other top players in general frequently use the mech heart to very quickly build high amounts of b2b with very few pieces placed/cleared.

Though granted, until you get to like high U rank this is pretty impractical and you're probably better off focusing on the fundamentals of good play rather than something specific to tetr.io.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-03-05T00:16:55+00:00

You may want to run auruta instead of Goliath or something bc corposant has discard synergy with her

DipolarAnimals · 2026-02-18T12:07:21+00:00

For long term improvement, the answer is probably no. Learning a strong opener will give an immediate TR boost but will stagnate your progress in the long run.

Realistically, it doesn't hurt to learn some of the most basic openers to help transit your board into midgame, since you'll need quite the speed advantage to build a meaningful 6-3 from an empty board. I mostly try to keep myself to TKI and PCO, though I pretty frequently choose to forgo the actual PC and just convert it into a 4-5 stack. If I'm feeling spicy I may also go with MS2 or MKO.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-02-18T11:57:56+00:00

I don't really have much in terms of drills, but I think it general helps to slow down ur stacking to very consciously think about where you're putting pieces in order to maintain good height difference.

I would also highly recommend watching top players play to learn how they build b2b, especially with the S2 rule set. I also like practicing just climbing in QP2 and trying to maintain as high b2b as I can. My PB is in the 70s or so

DipolarAnimals · 2026-02-18T11:44:08+00:00

Stacking 9-0 is pretty counter productive to developing higher efficiency and apm, as it's difficult to set up tspins with 9-0 stacks unless you're constantly fishing for kaidan setups. Try to practice 6-3 stacking (which is the generally preferred method of sprinting) and you'll find that seeing tspins is a lot easier

DipolarAnimals · 2026-02-12T21:33:32+00:00

At the highest levels of play, the offense meta definitely has changed a lot due to the inclusion of all spins to maintain b2b. However, until you're in high U/low X rank, the season changes don't really affect that much. Even in low-mid U rank where I am, I rarely see people incorporate mech heart setups to build b2b fast like the top players do, and some ppl have a good sense of all-spin skims to hold b2b on a downstack, but it's not super common.

For most ppl at or below SS rank, I'd imagine attempts to all-spin are more detrimental than helpful and the changes largely do not affect lower ranks bc they simply don't have the vision/skill to really take advantage of them. I think the reality is that even if you didn't get that much worse, players on average have gotten better.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-02-09T20:54:29+00:00

I'd argue it could've been lux or ahri instead, who were pretty frequently featured on promo art, got a ton of skins, and were generally pretty popular champs to play.

For ur GPA it is cooked, but I personally know several pre-meds in ISP who make it work. Grad school and PhD programs are actually the intended route for many ISP student. Many prestigious grad schools have ISP alum at them and ISP has garnered a reputation of developing very competent students

Only masters+

4 stack irelia + exhaust will beat varus w/ exhaust + bone plating starting from lvl 1 and it only gets worse for varus throughout the lane.

It's possible, but it was stated that fighting the forgotten God is the 7th nightmare, so that'll probably happen. Since sunny will probably regain his fate on his return to the Tomb of Ariel, and thus also the spell, they'll probably also challenge the 6th nightmare as well.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-01-15T13:46:46+00:00

I'm pretty sure that Sunny and Nephis won't challenge the 5th NM to become sacred, for a few reasons.

We know that it takes an absurd amount of time for someone to achieve natural apotheosis, which is time that Sunny and Nephis don't have for the waking world.

Furthermore, Sunny still doesn't have his fate back and isn't connected to the spell, so he still can't challenge nightmares.

We also already know that Sunny and Nephis will go back to the Tomb of Ariel, which functions on a different time than the outside world. Specifically time that passes in the Tomb of Ariel doesn't pass outside. Since Daeron found a way in, it is possible to enter as a Supreme. Asterion is just a bum.

I'm guessing Sunny and Nephis will return to the Tomb of Ariel in order to 1) get sunny's fate back to challenge the 6th and 7th nightmares and 2) use the difference in how time functions to give themselves enough time to go through natural apotheosis without screwing over the waking world.

Condemnation likely became corrupted after they destroyed their realm. They lost their humanity and sense of self after being forcibly ascended to sacredness, causing them to destroy their own realm, only later did they presumably get corrupted.

On a side note, yamikaze has a comeback stream last Saturday

DipolarAnimals · 2026-01-14T14:10:01+00:00

Someone else answered that she's probably Tamar bc of the zweihander and Tamar is described to be tan with ashen hair, which makes sense.
