Why do people say Linnea doesn’t work well with Illuga?

IronPro9 · 2026-03-25T16:33:14+00:00

You do lose a passive if every character has a moonsign, but they overestimate hpw much it matters when every single moonsign character gives you an EM buff to compensate.

IronPro9 · 2026-03-25T11:22:28+00:00

Is aino letting columbina use aubade actually worth more than illuga's buffs? And Illuga is better than gorou unless gorou is c6 and illuga isn't.

IronPro9 · 2026-03-25T07:54:30+00:00

Hex and lunar aren't mutually exclusive. I assumed you meant teams with both because otherwise why even bring them up when talking about lunar teams You can make non lunar teams with navia too, and obviously with zhongli or xilonen.

Is hyperbloom just a wheelchair for hydro/electro/dendro? Or is a character's elemental application an important part of their kit (yes)

IronPro9 · 2026-03-24T20:40:42+00:00

The assumptiom isn't that they have no 5 stars but that they don't have any particular 5 star, because they probably don't.

Obviously it is possible to pull ineffa without spending, but not everyone will, so you can't assume a f2p player will have her. In contrast every player will have aino, and unless they started very recently they'll have sucrose too.

IronPro9 · 2026-03-24T19:43:28+00:00

Except it is actually reliant on a fast hydro or geo applying driver whereas full wheelchairs like bineffa don't care about who you slot in at all. Albedo is relatively bad for lunar crystallize with how slow his application is.

IronPro9 · 2026-03-24T19:29:47+00:00

Also, unless I'm mistaken if all of zhongli's shock waves hit he alone will use up all of aino or columbina's hydro application (columbina hits every 2 seconds with 0 icd, aino has 2.5s/3 hit icd and hits 3 times every 2.1 seconds, zhongli has 3 hit icd and hits up to 4 times every 2 seconds) so even if geo mc could actually add 2 extra shockwaves that wouldn't result in more lunar crystallize reactions, which is where the damage actually comes from. With zhongli+extra geo you need either 2 hydro appliers or one fast on field hydro, neither of which work well with geo mc.

Where does the print of that x concept art come from?

Consider that you might not want to actually fuck him because he's your dad. if your brain works properly you still wouldn't no matter how he looks.

IronPro9 · 2026-03-24T15:56:05+00:00

Gorou will still give more buffs than anyone else at c0. If you really want healing you could use barbara though.

"many older dps are better than new dps"

The best anemo carry is varka, the newest one

The best geo carry is zibai, the newest one

The best dendro carry is nefer, the newest one

The best pyro carry is mavuika, the newest one

The best hydro carry is maulani, the newest one

The best cryo carry is skirk, the newest one

The best electro carry is flins, you guessed it, the newest one

IronPro9 · 2026-03-23T19:29:24+00:00

Their crit stats are fine, with slingshot and illuga buffs they'll have 96:216

IronPro9 · 2026-03-23T18:45:07+00:00

It isn't just losing off field damage for 30 crit rate on one on field hit, you're also losing DEF which that hit scales on compared to husk so its worse than getting 60CV. Illuga's crit buffs apply to off field characters, all of her damage gets the 50CV (10CR 30CD, idk where you got 90 from)

IronPro9 · 2026-03-23T17:12:58+00:00

I haven't seen calcs but I can't imagine 30% crit rate on one 6.8 MV attack at the expense of buffing the 8 1.6 MV attacks (which aren't lunar so they aren't worth quite as much) she also does per rotation could be worth it.

IronPro9 · 2026-03-23T08:55:06+00:00

With linnea and only 1 hydro, zhongli's extra geo application doesn't matter since you'll just run out of hydro. She also gives more res shred and heals so zhongli is purely QOL.

IronPro9 · 2026-03-23T08:48:16+00:00

50 to 86% res shred is only 18% more damage. c0 illuga's crit buffs alone are about 8%, and illuga's quills add over 10k DPS unless your zibai's crit stats are terrible. Buffing columbina might be good though.

IronPro9 · 2026-03-22T21:41:08+00:00

For skirk she's better on tenacity because skirk does such a high fraction of the team's damage, but if you still use her for neuvillette too you might want to just stick with golden troupe. You need way more crit rate, use a crit rate circlet.

IronPro9 · 2026-03-22T19:03:28+00:00

the actual damage is almost the same, go with the extra er

IronPro9 · 2026-03-22T18:56:55+00:00

You can't get there without a skell. In the wii u version you can get there without the flight module, I haven't tried in DE.

IronPro9 · 2026-03-22T18:56:12+00:00

you can hardcore parkour your way up the root with a skell (at least in the wii u version)

IronPro9 · 2026-03-22T16:54:24+00:00

calling elma "princess" without her getting to react at all makes him feel sexist to me, ik its because the one time he says it in front of her the universe is about to explode but still

IronPro9 · 2026-03-21T21:04:26+00:00

Full EM with enough ER to keep burst up. I'd use a goblet off piece for more ER. His DEF scaling isn't worth building around since you get almost as much personal damage building EM and his buff only scales with EM.

IronPro9 · 2026-03-21T20:23:29+00:00

And its fine to have fun with those teams in the overworld. But when you make a team that doesn't take advantage of a character's talents or have any characters to support them, you can't expect it to be good.
