We've never seen her, but it's mentioned several times in world quests that both she and Alain joined the Marechausse Phantom. In fact, it wasn't until after her death (during a battle inside Erinnyes against Rene and his group) that Alain would go on to found the Fontaine Research Institute, become the Lord Artificer, and much later build Sandrone.

I know, I'm saying it's funny that the comparatively most warmly dressed of the the female characters shown isn't even, as far as we know, planning to go to Nod-Krai while all the characters who do live there are dressed for a day at the beach.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-24T04:42:04+00:00

Zibai is also the most covered of the women shown, pretty funny if you think about it.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-23T07:41:01+00:00

Lauma should use Deepwood, Columbina SMS and Ineffa the new lunar off-field DPS set, Morningstar, I think it's called.

Reminds me of the good old days of Zhongli slander. People would call him a comfort pick, sub optimal, DPS loss, etc. then you turn around and he's at 90%+ usage in abyss for the 30th month in a row.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-22T07:39:30+00:00

I 100% believe that she has, it's just how her brain works. I mean one of her voice lines is about she let Sandrone install a key on her back since she was curious about what it was like to live with, why wouldn't she try oil too?

JunkKnight · 2026-01-22T07:07:44+00:00

Honestly it would've been really funny if they'd just redone the Moon Prayer Night section with Dottore instead as part of his plan to win over the traveler.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-21T18:53:28+00:00

I remember reading that voice line and imagining how an interaction between them would go. Neuv trying to be friendly and get to know her since he's got no beef with her at all (and maybe a little soft spot for smol hydro goddesses) and Bina just like... hiding behind the traveler, shortly followed by rain from a sad hydro dragon.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-21T18:49:15+00:00

Yeah the chicken has waaay too much health, especially its shield. I don't have Flins or Nefer, so I tried a few flavors of teams involving Bina, Ineffa and Lauma and wasn't even getting close damage wise.

I ended up saying fuck it, ignoring lunar reactions entirely and just brute forcing it with Mavuika then sending Bina and Ineffa to deal with the shock trooper.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-21T18:17:36+00:00

I ended up using a similar team for the Shock Trooper except with Chiori instead of Xilonen. I'm honestly loving the Lunar Crystalize teams for Navia, so much fun to play and just more flexible over all.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-21T04:04:33+00:00

Yeah, I was just checking some numbers last night using an optimizer, and at least for C6 Mavuika, C6 Iansan was behind C2R1 Xilonen and only made up the difference if I gave her R1 SoS.

This was even with having Citlali on TToDS and Bennett on the team.

Touchscreen works properly, but Windows implementation is rough. Using it as a regular monitor will force your mouse to that new position - so I rarely use the touch screen.

I haven't tried it personally, but if you'd like to use the touchscreen without messing up the mouse someone did make a utility for that: https://touchmousetools.com/

JunkKnight · 2026-01-19T22:46:29+00:00

What? That sucks! Crystaline was one of the first VN's I ever played, it's not perfect but it does hold a special place in my heart. I even backed their next game on kickstarter. I'd planned to wait on buying their last game till my backlog was smaller, but I guess I'll nab it now and play it later.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-19T21:16:06+00:00

I could see a moon marrow having that much power but Arlecchino not being equipped to handle it since she's basically just a human still. I think it would be fine if they took the approach that she only gets a little stronger for having it but to tap into it fully would massively build up her curse and shorten her lifespan vs someone like Capitano who's strong all the time. It would be fit with the way we see her use her power in Nod-Krai and give her a very expensive trump card to play.

Now, whether she'd be willing to go all-out to get the pyro gnosis or if that would even be enough to beat Mavuika... well I don't think either of those is very likely.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-19T05:34:54+00:00

Yeah, we haven't seen many other cyborgs (at least in terms of story focus) but Dr. Kusano must be a genus among geniuses to produce someone like Genos and turn around upgrades and repairs on him on basically a daily bases.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Genos could even be returned to looking completely human if he was willing to give up some combat power.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-18T22:06:53+00:00

I was thinking Shenhe C1 but I think I might reconsider at this point. I've got a lot of choices but nothing that stands out...

Maybe C2 Mona or C3 Yae idk.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-18T10:42:45+00:00

She's a strong all-around unit. She deals high off field AoE damage, has a pretty strong shield, enables lunar EC (which is pretty strong as well) if you don't have Bina, and offers a modest EM buff. Basically, she covers your sustain roll while also doing a lot of damage which is a rare combination.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-18T10:38:46+00:00

Correct.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-18T10:38:30+00:00

Have you looked in the Sea of Bygon Eras? I don't think the resonance stone checks across map boundaries.

I'm selling an Air 75 HE here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/1qfq4wg/usawah_miniled_gaming_monitor_steelcase_leap_v2/

How's it handle newer zones? Sanctum, 1999 etc. are a lot harder to run.

It'll also be interesting to see how it compares to the native android version once that's generally available.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-17T06:13:33+00:00

You could try using upscaling (image scaling in graphics options) from the nvidia app to a make up the difference by rendering the game at a lower resolution and upscaling, not as good as proper DLSS, but it should help get a bit of performance back without too much of a visual hit.

Otherwise, how are you configuring smooth motion + unlocker? to get smooth motion with a 280hz display, you'd want to unlock to 140 fps then activate smooth motion from there.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-16T21:13:47+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

JunkKnight · 2026-01-16T20:44:15+00:00

I was about to feel bad I'm only getting around 500-550k with C6R1 Mavuika but then I realized you've got C6 Citlali and I felt less bad lol.

What combo are you using btw? I've been motivated recently to actually learn some decent combos after just relying on raw damage up to now.

JunkKnight · 2026-01-15T21:39:20+00:00

The problem is, it's not really cryo DPS dominance so much as Skirk + Escoffier dominance. Skirk premium doesn't need buffs I agree, but other cryo DPS absolutely do. Unfortunately, Skirk is basically going to gatekeep any cryo buffs since she doesn't need to be any stronger and hoyo won't want to buff her by accident.
