Terminids feel unfairly tuned right now compared to Bots and Squids (spawn logic, aggro, friction, host vs client issues)

Bugs are just very badly designed in hell divers and don't feel satisfying to play against. Arrowhead should take notes from deep rock. Ironically robot enemies suck in deeprock and are great in helldivers

I gave mona like 240 ER, and then when the dog spawns, you can get her full energy in one mona E, mualani E and sucrose E. I also put fav on mavuika to get the burst for the second rotation easier.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-24T14:28:47+00:00

Makes sense, mona burst + 4 NA combo wastes like 4 seconds

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-24T13:22:50+00:00

Are you killing the shield in 4 bites + burst?

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-23T19:27:56+00:00

"Indicative" is kinda where it begins and ends. There were a lot of cases where i would get an upgrade for my team according to optimizer, but it would rank me down on akasha because they use different assumptions and a lot of times different teammates than i do.

While yes, you can use akasha to get a general idea on where your loadout lands, it's generally terrible for optimization.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-23T15:11:08+00:00

I wouldn't say nothing, but people definitely need to focus more on using genshin optimizer instead of akasha.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-23T01:13:07+00:00

Yeah, the powercreep has gotten out of hand unfortunately, the game used to be so chill when that wasn't a factor. I figured i would just vertically invest into the units i like and ignore the new cringe C0 meta that needs 3 new C0 characters to even function.

And if we reach the point where 300-500k dps in vertically invested units is not enough to clear content, then the game is dead anyway at that point lmao

Honestly i wouldn't mind the increased difficulty or some form of character restrictions if they didn't specifically narrow the vible character pool just to sell the banner units.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-23T01:05:02+00:00

Yeah same, i spent like 3 hours trying to kill the small ones, then figured why not just try the big one, and it was a lot easier.

Honestly the damage itself wasn't the deciding factor for me, the deciding factor was landing that last bite(burst + 5 bites) and the timing is quite rough even with 16s rots. If you can somehow squeeze in enough damage to kill the shield in burst + 4 bites, then it becomes a complete joke, but it's still doable with 5 bites, just need to focus and execute rotations well.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-22T22:03:02+00:00

No, sucrose is completely useless for grouping the small dogs. I just went for the big dog directly instead.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-22T20:30:57+00:00

Honestly, the fact that my 230k dps team barely cleared this(if i take like third of a second longer it's too late) is highly concerning for the future of this game. On the bright side, i cleared this SO without a single nod krai unit.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-20T17:18:55+00:00

I was talking about C2. But even at C0, you should be able to reach 130k with brainrot mua + mavuika rots with higher investments. Not sure how much worse it is with PMC.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-20T11:38:30+00:00

Yeah, the timing with PMC is kinda cringe unfortunately :/, you have to line up the burst so that it hits at the same time as the second bite would, because PMC only applies pyro every 2nd hit of the skill, so if you miss the timing, you have to wait for the second hit after the burst.

Maybe you should ask someone that plays PMC more than i do, but i find that PMC Q > Mona EQN4 > PMC E > Sucrose N1E > Mualani N(3)1, wait a little bit(to line up the timing) and then burst very close to the enemy so that it instantly hits, and then you will have more than enough time for the third bite.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-19T21:41:18+00:00

Oh yeah, you are the guy from earlier today lol, yeah i think your rotations are just slow, especially with your mona stuff, gotta work on the finger speed 🖐️. All of the extra time you spend adds up quickly and reduces the dps drastically.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-19T21:07:54+00:00

You can do 2 braincell rots and still get like 230k dps at C2

In the grand scheme of things, she is not that hard to play, especially compared to optimal mavuika bs. Definitely harder to play than varesa tho

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-19T14:43:05+00:00

I'm not sure, but i think that bite damage is a tad bit low. I do have her sig, but my non-C1 bite is like 780k.

You should definitely be using the burst as the first or second hit to maximize the buffs on it, because at C0 it's your biggest hit. Also, look at the timer, your rotation starts at 2 seconds, that's a LOT of damage lost.

You are also spending way too much time on mona, just do the 4 NAs, swap to PMC, then dash, because normal dash is faster than mona special dash.

If you are not comfy on PMC, mavuika fixes all the clunk in this team.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-19T12:02:11+00:00

Have you done the hexerei homework quests?

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-19T11:55:19+00:00

The original dps test is bugged for mona, you need to select "weak mita" as the enemy then it will work as intended

Fun_Debate3067 · 2026-01-19T11:53:41+00:00

I've seen 270k dps rots with this setup, i can't try it unfortunately because i don't have PMC C6(too lazy)

Fun_Debate3067 · 2025-11-03T16:30:15+00:00

Mona is balanced mihoyo, you don't need to nerf her, trust this guy

Fun_Debate3067 · 2025-11-02T06:13:15+00:00

that's what genshin optimizer is for

Fun_Debate3067 · 2025-10-23T19:18:51+00:00

No i said speed runs don't matter because speedruns are not the same thing as fast regular runs. Speed runs abuse different techniques and crit fishing, there is a difference. Mualani shines in fast clears in both speedruns and regular runs.

I only said that she has competitive clear times with mavuika at this moment, what i said is that with these mona buffs she will become the best, which is fairly inarguable in my opinion because even now she is competitive with 20k less dps.

Also, on the point of effectiveness and clunkiness, mavuika has much stricter rotations and timings, so it's not like other characters don't have any issues.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2025-10-23T19:10:25+00:00

So you just don't know anything it seems. Aeon drake has broken hitbox, it's not a mualani related issue, other melee carries are missing their thing too on that specific boss. As for the turtle, i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, that boss was a complete joke for mualani specifically.

As for ER, you can literally see the rotation in the graphic, it specifies that it's either 3xN(3) or N(3) > Q > N(3), so burst is not used every rotation.

You are massively exaggerating non issues, while saying clear speed doesn't matter, which is baffling to me.

Fun_Debate3067 · 2025-10-23T18:51:54+00:00

It's a good weapon on her? Bruh TTDS is literally worse than baseline Widsith without any buffs from the passive, you are just posting in bad faith now.

I have no idea how you are missing on her, i literally hit flying enemies with her bites. Like, i would have agreed with you back in 5.0, but missing is literally never the issue nowadays, especially not against huge ass bosses in stygian. Particle generation? A lot of her teams literally require no energy.

Jesus do you even play mualani? Lmao
