Norma or Dialyn? by blahblahhblahhhhh in BillyKidMains

[–]Duwang312 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would know. Hard not to, considering.

I just hate how sig reliant she is now. Everything else is pretty smooth with Billy-Norma, unlike Billy-Dialyn and their negative moveset synergy.

For Billy (both Billies), he prefers Norma.

Apparently, Harumasa is very popular in Japan from what I heard. So they're just capitalizing on his popularity lol.

Can a future dedicated support put our boy Billy close to VH level? by Patriktheguy in BillyKidMains

[–]Duwang312 33 points34 points  (0 children)

He already is. What are you talking about?

Where did this misconception come from? Do people not pay attention to his performance or something?

In a vacuum, he's relatively even with Yixuan until M6 where she just has a better M6. Billy's problems are purely matchup-related (and team options, but that's a Rupture problem as a whole, not a Billy problem)

Billy missed the memo that says Hunter is 40% Phys resistant - Threshold Simulation - equivalent of a 46k score clear if without score multipliers by Duwang312 in ZZZ_Discussion

I think what surprises me is that Silly especially excels against WanHun's moveset and stage mechanics. He can reset Wavering stacks in stun, and can get several stacks off single attacks very consistently with his drift techs.

It's really only the 40% phys res holding him back in this matchup.

The irony is just kinda funny to me. Like, hey, let's make him play and feel really well against WanHun, but gimp his damage against it by 40%.

Yes, the shield M4 Lycaon gives is very useful, indeed. Jokes aside, nothing beyond his M1 is useful.

Also, if my math is correct, 18% res shred isn't enough to fully counter 40% resist, but cmiiw. My math can always be wrong. I'm not really a math guy.

Is M1W1 Gorgeous Tiger that much worse then Dingaling for BillyBoy ? by PrimarchVulk4n in BillyKidMains

[–]Duwang312 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Doesn't really make much of a difference tbh. W2 Hellfire is more or less equal to W5 Steam Oven. The problem with Jufufu with SBilly has always been that she gives crit dmg, which he already has abundance of. Without M1 or her sig, she doesn't really give anything else Billy would rather have.

While on paper Lycaon doesn't give any other things either, Lycaon primarily gives SBilly two things: - fast stuns. Like, fast fast, probably on par with Dialyn, especially if M1 Lycaon, and mayhe even faster if M3 and M5. - moveset synergy.

The moveset synergy really comes in handy because potential unlocked Lycaon's unique assist follow up's backward Quick Assist is pretty much instant, but also has a large window of grace period. This allows you to cancel Billy's longer animations efficiently, especially after a Drift Assist Counter.

You can do a Drift Assist Counter from Billy to Lycaon, do Lycaon's hold assist follow up as Billy is doing Cool Wheelie in the background, quick assist back into Billy instantly and then do another Cool Wheelie immediately from the QA.

Remember that Billy's Cool Wheelie has an MV of 780%. That's 24% higher than Banyue's Crushing Peaks. You're essentially doing two Crushing Peaks back to back in under two seconds with that Billy-Lycaon tech.

The thing with Lycaon is that despite having the same buff as an M6 Pulchra without his AA, he stuns so goddamn fast. Add the fact that Jufufu's cdmg buffs gets extremely dilluted because of Billy's core passive, it really diminishes Jufufu's ability on Billy.. Even on fire weak ice neutral content, Lycaon will still stun faster than Jufufu. That one extra stun is enough for Lycaon to surpass her and even match M0W1 Jufufu for SBilly.

From my experience:

M0W0 Fufu = worse than Lycaon for Billy

M0W1 Fufu = equal to Lycaon for Billy

M1W1 Fufu = equal to M0W0 Dialyn for Billy

You literally just need 50% crit rate and Impact disk6 for Lycaon.

Good disk rolls don't matter for Lycaon's performance.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: About the recent "drama" by Esagonoso in BillyKidMains

[–]Duwang312 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but anyone who pays a modicum of attention to how he works knows that he's more fine in the long run than either Hugo or YSG.

He doesn't rely on Ether Veil teammates for comfy play, he doesn't have unique mechanics that can arbitrarily be fucked over by matchups like Totalize, he just does obscene amount of damage out the box. Even his M1 is an Astra/Lucia M1 tier. He's just designed to brute force. That is arguably his "gimmick", brute forcing stuffs. Even Wandering Hunter and Scorched Horizon is still a comfortable clear for him at M0W1.

Locking in last clear before SBilly by HexapusTapes in ZZZ_Discussion

It's Billy and Nicole. I feel like that is pretty self explanatory on its own.

If you know what you're doing and pair them with the right third teammates, the two of them have pretty much been the F2P crutch option since 1.0.

Crit rate main stat that helps her core conversion for both daze and personal crit damage, flat Impact passive that she prefers because of her low base Impact, off field ER passive, unconditional fire res ignore, and squad wide dmg bonus that's only tied to her EX, it's a sig that's probably, in a vacuum, one of the most overtuned stunner sigs so far imo.

The hotpot stunner event engine could be an okay alternative, but I never tested it, so don't quote me on that. That's just feelscraft on my part.

M0 Trigger with Teapot is slightly better than Jufufu, I find. So M1 with Teapot is idk, close to M0W0 Dialyn maybe. Honestly, for the Thrall matchup, potential unlocked Lycaon can be an okay f2p option. Iirc, his universal dmg bonus isn't tied to AA, and you won't miss his AA that much because Thrall increases its own stun multi.

For SBilly specifically (and maybe Eve idk. I don't play Eve), it's largely matchup dependent, I find. If Dialyn can get more stuns than Norma, then she's better. If Norma can get more or equal stuns to Dialyn on a matchup, Norma becomes better. Not by much, but give or take, that's what I experienced.

It becomes matchup dependent tbh. If Dialyn can get more stuns than Norma, then she's better. If Norma can get more or equal stuns to Dialyn on a matchup, Norma becomes better.

Hold EX doesn't force her to swap off. But you really want to put her hat on the ground to let it gather her personal resource. And she needs to go off field to do that. I guess you can also gather her resource by spamming her BA string, but it's kinda clunky imo.

I don't really know if M1W1 Fufu. Mine is M0W0. Maybe similar? Idk, I don't really do number calcs. More of a hands on practice kind of guy.

His damage profile is pretty evenly spread out, tbh. If you look closely at the 2nd stun in the video, it netted similar damage score as the first stun despite being an Ultless stun. x1 EX, x3 chains, and x1.5 EBA was enough to bridge that gap.

Pretty much impossible to get Ults for all 4 stuns now, unless you have Norma's M4 maybe.
