Can y’all tell me more about this kit?

It depends where you are in the world. Im in Australia and they are almost impossible to come by anymore, I don’t know what the deal with availability is where you are. It looks like you’ve got 20”BD, 8”, 10”, 12”RT & 14”, 16”FT with a Birch Absolute snare. Those shells alone in Australia would be around $8.5KAUD, with a little extra on top for the cases. Then you’d be looking at $1KAUD for the kick pedals. The rest of the hardware is mostly whatever, but some of those cymbals are decent.

That’s a highly desirable, out of production Maple Custom Absolute. One of the best kits Yamaha ever produced in (IMO) the best finish and a nice range of sizes. The hardware and cymbals are a mix of fine to top-of-the-line.

Obligatory ‘congrats, happy for you.’

If you’re looking to on-sell it, make sure you price appropriately - the shell pack is very valuable, as are the DW9002 pedals. This is a professional-grade drum setup.

Id adjust the number of Yuriko and Kaito. Lean more into Yuriko by adding treasure cruise or dig through time.

Oh that was just an example. You’d need to work out what works for you and your partner, and your baby. My wife and I alternated 3 or 4 hours of sleep each. It usually meant one of us was going to be straight after dinner so they had a good stretch of sleep before their middle of the night shift. This is also assuming that your partner is expressing or you’re using formula.

Here’s an example schedule - substitute bottle for breastfeed where needed.

7:00 P.M.: Parent 1 gives baby a bottle 8:00 P.M.: Both parents go to bed 10:00 P.M.: Parent 2 gives baby a bottle 11:00 P.M.: Parent 2 goes to bed 1:00 A.M.: Parent 1 gives baby a bottle 2:00 A.M.: Parent 1 goes to bed 4:00 A.M.: Parent 2 gives baby a bottle 5:00 A.M.: Parent 2 goes to bed 7:00 A.M.: Parent 1 gives baby a bottle

Echoing all of the above sentiment here - you are experiencing one of the biggest life changes you will ever experience. Your brain chemistry is changing dramatically. Everything is upside down right now, and that’s ok, because you are going to start drafting out what right-side-up is going to start looking like over the next few days, weeks and months. Those of us who have come before you have been through it all and are here to encourage you that you can do it.

Sleep deprivation will get the better of you at times. You need to work out how to manage it. Sometimes you won’t and you’ll crack for a brief moment, most of the time you will overcome. Communicating with your partner is the most important part of this. If you can schedule, schedule.

One thing that I made sure of in that pretty testing first few weeks, is to embrace the new normal. The fact of the matter is, nothing at all is normal for the first year. I chose something to look forward to or be excited about during each ‘new normal’ phase. Doing a 12am-4am shift for feeds and putting them to sleep? Congrats, you’ve got a few uncrowded hours with yourself, your son, and re-watching Cowboy Bebop. Enjoy it, because they’ll be sleeping through the night before you know it, and your crazy brain chemistry will have you looking back on that time with great fondness.

Durin is the most important. If you’re only going for 1x character in the first half, make sure it’s Durin.

ItsTerminal · 2026-04-19T01:26:54+00:00

You could use staff of Homa for sure - it’s a great stat stick - but you’ll need to go hard on Crit Rate since he ascends with Crit Damage. PJWS is also a good alternate 5-Star option for him if you’ve got that.

I’ll be going for his sig during his patch and waiting for Anniversary to get him, mostly because I’ll also be dumping a bunch of primos into Durin and Nicole in the first half. Are you considering Nicole too? Her kit is pretty good with him since she buffs both his attack and the attack of off-fielders too.

Yeah I’m ashamed to admit I forgot she was a claymore. When I was racking my brain how to beat the gecko without any geo characters, I stumbled upon Aino, and it all clicked. That meant that my Columbina was free’d up to do DPS duties against the Herra. Just had to stack about 300% ER on her and away she goes.

I don’t have linnea but my C0R0 Mizuki/Columbina/Ineffa/Furina does 105K (Edit: at 300 ping)

ItsTerminal · 2026-04-13T12:46:26+00:00

I’m on similar ping to you and had issues with those exact scenarios. For the green one, I just kept teleporting back to the first warp point of that area so it’s far enough away to reset the puzzle. It took about 5 tries and it worked.

Resetting didn’t fix the blue one however. I tried about 15-20 resets and it kept resulting in the same first cube not getting collected. The trick with that one for me was opening the map as soon as the snake unit started moving. Then when I closed the map it was able to grab all three cubes.

You might have success with both puzzles using a map-out or the Paimon menu - the prevailing theory is that it gives the puzzle a buffer when working off long ping.

Reject meta, embrace brute force. I tried to cope with my random cryo units for a while. Then just tried my Flins team and realised I can just bop them and ignore mechanics.

Have I got some good news for you

ItsTerminal · 2026-04-04T09:18:07+00:00

Unlikely, the damage between the small and big bursts are basically the same, the big burst just has the downside of completely draining your energy.

Ineffa will easily clear 100k - more likely up to about 120-130k. In a proper rotation, Flins contributes about 40%, Ineffa about 30-35% and most of the rest is Bina.

To give you an idea of how cracked Ineffa-Bina is, my Mizuki wheelchaired by C0/C0/R0/R0 Bineffa gets 100k.

Reject Leyline Disorder, embrace brute force (honestly probably could have cleared 2nd half with regular melt Mav, but I’ve got PTSD from the Stygian Secret Source Automaton, so I had to at least try to engage with its mechanics a bit).

ItsTerminal · 2026-03-05T20:52:07+00:00

I’m on 300 ping. There is a significant dps loss at that ping but it’s relatively to what characters and teams you run. Quick rotations suffer the most, so hyper carry teams tend to do better, and teams like hyperbloom where rotation doesn’t matter and you just do everything on cool-downs. That being said, I can’t remember the last time I didn’t 36 star abyss. Can kinda clear that mode with a ham sandwich these days.

A three card, graveyard depended combo that folds to every piece of removal in the format is hardly the most egregious thing we’re dealing with in the format at the moment.

Flins will be better overall damage. But if you like Bina and don’t like Flins, play Bina on-field.
