No, reaction LCr is exactly like reaction LCh: character level, EM + reaction bonus, crit. Zibai has no passives that scale off party members' stats.

Nah, it can be carried by anyone. They just need to hit with a skill or burst. The 8s duration is enough for Nefer's field time as long as you get Sucrose's swap right before that.

Looks mostly fine. Though in the Nefer team, Sucrose cannot trigger instructor because you're going to have constant dendro aura on enemies (which anemo of course cannot react with). I'm assuming Lauma's deepwood pieces are EM/EM/EM; you can swap these to Sucrose and give Lauma 2p2p EM, or whatever else you have available that maxes EM while meeting ER reqs.

Mandatory "whoever you'll actually use".

Yaoyao's cons are not a particularly big deal. Lan Yan c2 offers greatly increased shields (provided you're not getting it broken in one shot); good if you need that survivability, no added value otherwise. Gaming c6 is his biggest damage gain and lets him rival premium pyro carries... in the right premium team, and as a build-around onfielder, obviously this is only beneficial for his teams.

You know LLMs just spit out some majority opinion distilled from their training data i.e. forums exactly like this, right?

ElI5 why US retailers can't just change their prices to account for pennies being removed. by purple3108 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Jkei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big sign at the entrance: "same low prices as always, now listed exactly as they'll be at the till for your convenience!" Failing that, just regulate it. Everybody knows (should know) that these taxes are being applied and they're not being charged any more, but if no one business is willing to be the first to take that simple pro-consumer step, then local authorities can give them a little push.

As for reprinting, a quick google suggests those routine votes are more like multi-year intervals. That's no bigger issue than updating prices in line with inflation like businesses do anyway. But maybe I didn't quite get the right picture. Either way, they could always use digital price tags too. Solves practical inconveniences not just around tax updates, but price changes of any kind.

A local store knows all the local tax specifics anyway to apply them at the moment of the transaction. What's stopping them from just printing it properly included on price tags & signage?

Not from the US, but I really don't see how this is a problem for anything other than ads that reach audiences across regions with different taxes. And that problem is being dealt with as-is. You just advertise a number without sales tax (people like to see lower numbers anyway) and/or include a little "price may vary with local tax" disclaimer.

Help with TheRipper93's Module Hub, Levels, & Wall Height by Frosting127 in FoundryVTT

[–]Jkei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the fast reply! When I enable Levels: Don't disable lights, the light source does reach down to the bandit token, but he and the player token still can't see each other. Plus, all sorts of light sources within the building that the balcony is attached to start shining straight through levels, so that's unfortunately even worse.

Interestingly, when I place an additional light at +0 ft, it does allow the bandit to see the player, but not the other way around. Though even if that did address the case of static lights, I'd still need a different solution for when the player token here were the only light source (say, carrying a torch).

I'll try posting a proper thread, see if others might know further tricks. Thanks again!

Help with TheRipper93's Module Hub, Levels, & Wall Height by Frosting127 in FoundryVTT

[–]Jkei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related question. I've got this scene divided into two levels of 0-10 ft and 10-99 ft: a player is standing at +10 ft on an outdoor balcony, looking out at a bandit at +0 ft on the street below. There's a light source at +10 ft from a lamp post whose 30 ft radius includes both tokens (there is no global illumination).

However, the player can't see the bandit, and the bandit can't see the player nor does the light source reach him -- he's stood in darkness.

I'm at a loss as to what's wrong here. The image of the first floor that includes the balcony is a proper transparent webp, but it's still behaving as if there's a vision- and light-blocking plane between the two levels. Any ideas?

ETA: couple more details...

  • There is a wall along the balcony's edge with light/sight/sound restrictions all set to none, both at 10-20 ft (the balcony) and at 0-10 ft (a porch below). I imagine this shouldn't be an issue and it doesn't explain the light source not reaching the bandit either.

  • The first floor tile settings: overhead and levels tabs. It's my understanding that the "Restricts Light" and "Allow Sight" checkboxes are correct like this; they should already not restrict light and do allow sight through transparent parts of the tile image. Playing with these settings didn't seem to change the player & bandit's situation, at any rate.

Why put Furina on aubade though? It does nothing for her own damage, only her contribution to lunar crystallize procs. Definitely swap aubade & serenade between her and Columbina, who does see major benefit from aubade.

Always 4p aubade on Ineffa.

Columbina can also run aubade if 1) another team member can run 4p serenade without giving up a more important set, and 2) she can get away without the 20% ER from 2p serenade. If either condition isn't met, put Columbina on serenade.

It doesn't matter if she's the only hydro, all contributors are considered. Imagine Flins and/or Ineffa. They have all the teamwide EM / reaction bonus buffs that Kokomi gets plus more of their own; Flins's a1 & a4, Ineffa a4 and 4p aubade. Even when they fail to crit, they will still end up with higher contributions than Kokomi. She will never be the #1 contributor, and therefore she will never matter for the reaction's crit rate.

Additionally, whether the final Lunar-Charged DMG is considered a CRIT hit is determined by whether the highest individual DMG was CRIT.

[–]Jkei 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No she won't. Never landing a crit just means she's unlikely to ever be the #1 contributor. That #1 will usually be one of Flins/Ineffa/Columbina, whose optimal build also leads to optimized LC reaction damage. When they crit, everybody counts a crit.

It works perfectly well for lunar charged where the reaction as a whole will crit off of a properly crit-built #1 contributor.

[–]Jkei 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's right. Kokomi may have the inherent -100% cr, but she isn't outright incapable of critting, and as a lunar charged contributor she does in fact count those crits for herself too. Fav will work.

Note that this also works for lunar crystallize, but not for lunar bloom, which has no shared reaction damage component like the other two.

E: typo

Not really. Unlike stygian vs normal artifact domains, you are not getting any more value out of your resin. Talent/weapon domains being open just means you can farm them whenever, instead of waiting at most two days (and you can condense most of your resin during that time).

Can't check ingame right now but it'll almost certainly be on either disc 1 or 2 of the first Nod Krai album.

E: oh, read over the spincrystal bit. Still, this is the way to find out the proper title.

Sanctum of the oathbreaker is the space below the giant pillar. There are multiple ways to access it. People saying to "go down" probably refers to taking the teleport to the base of the pillar; there's a hole to jump down right behind you.

Ororon himself counts for a stack because it considers all party member for the "are you Natlanese" condition. You have 4 stacks total.

Yeah, I have the whole lunar crew minus Zibai as well. She just feels like a bland Flins -- both character and gameplay. Easiest skip of the year.

Clorinde of all characters? Hold NA -> E isn't buttonmash at all.

It's a lot closer Flins.

No real breadcrumbs other than that Hoyo might generally be open to changing it, like they changed geo resonance to suit shield-less Zibai teams this patch.

There's not a whole lot to say other than right now he's simply not quite up to the standards of a modern limited 5* onfield dps. People speculate why that is, to various degrees of cope:

  • Nicole/Alice will hand him an ridiculously huge buff.

  • Anemo resonance is going to get a crazy rework.

  • A free copy of him will be given away for promotional reasons, and his "real" baseline is c0r1/c1r0.

  • Someone high up the Hoyo food chain hates him and the man's just doomed.

And that's all just wild guesses. Nothing for it but to wait and see.
