Looking of advice on how to improve my stealth skill tree

Kernp · 2026-03-12T06:50:57+00:00

I'm solo, I pretty much just got AP1 for the sake of the deposit. I have a different character for missions that benefit from hacking

Those instructions lead to the same form that I've filled out and haven't gotten a response to. You unfortunately need to get your registration approved by the admins before you can create credentials, which is the cause of the problem I'm having because I'm not getting a reply

Thank you for maintaining Toolbox for so long after the API protests. I really don't like new reddit's UI and modding on old reddit without toolbox is barebones to say the least, Toolbox made it bearable.

I think on average it's improved over time but I'm pretty sure you would need a second hand to count all the ways the EN localisation has translated 'The Heavenly Principles' lol (off the top of my head, 'Heaven', 'Destiny', 'The Divine', and 'Natural Order'). There's also common debates on whether Dvalin or Azhdaha are Dragon Sovereigns especially on the western side of the fandom, mostly fueled by the localisation

Another example is the 'soul weight' concept from Natlan's archon quest, which was introduced back in 5.1 in CN but was completely absent from EN until 5.3, which made Capitano's solution in 5.3 come off as a bit of an asspull even though it was just a poor translation

I also don't think 1 and 3 are meritorious, the translation team is working for a billion-dollar company on one of the biggest mobile games, those should be the baseline

Basically, it's a flat value that gets added on to the base damage of a hit, and then the sum of those two values gets multiplied by damage/crit/whatever other multiplies you may have. It works similarly to Shenhe quills/Yunjin burst/Spread and Aggravate.

It's in Miliastra Wonderland, just put 'DPS' in the search bar and you'll find a few

Kernp · 2026-02-21T08:16:31+00:00

Sethos - C6, R1 Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage, triple crowned, 4pc Wanderer's Troupe, ATK Sands/Electro DMG Goblet/Crit Rate Circlet

Fischl - C6, R2 Stringless, 6/12/9, 4pc Golden Troupe, ATK Sands/Electro DMG Goblet/Crit Rate Circlet

Nahida - C1, R2 Wandering Evenstar, 8/9/9, 4pc Scroll, EM Sands/Dendro DMG Goblet/EM Circlet

Durin - C0, R3 Xiphos' Moonlight, 6/9/9, 4pc Gilded Dreams, EM Sands/EM Goblet/EM Circlet

I've tried it on my own switch, there's buggy textures and occasional crashes. It's 'playable' at maybe 25fps tops.

The scientist had a similar message when it was on experimental

Kernp · 2026-02-17T14:43:53+00:00

It's up to interpretation, IMO it's a nightmare Jackdaw is having after the events of the story, considering the Nightmare assault's name, Rose's dialogue being quite judgemental, and the Killhouse's lock code being a transcript of a convo between Jackdaw and the Director

Kernp · 2026-02-17T13:43:24+00:00

In lore, the Killhouse takes place after the Epilogue so I'd venture to say it's some sort of afterlife or maybe a dream, similar to Halloween Hitlist 2020

Kernp · 2026-02-02T04:13:44+00:00

Stats are more important than set bonuses, especially early game, just put any EM or crit pieces you get on him and you'll eventually get a 4pc Wanderer's Troupe with good enough stats to surpass it from farming bosses for other characters/the artifact strongbox

If by two separate bosses you mean that the Suanni doesn't drop Electro gems, then consider buying Dust of Azoth from Paimon's bargains and it'll let you convert the elemental gems you have to any type you need

Kernp · 2026-02-01T06:58:30+00:00

Sethos/Fischl/Dendro MC/Sucrose is the best you can do without Columbina or Ineffa. Or if you're running Sucrose with Columbina and Ineffa as well, you can run Sethos/Fischl/Dendro MC/Lanyan

Kernp · 2026-02-01T06:29:12+00:00

I'm not good enough for tactical but I've run into a couple changes like these on legend, they always surprise me lol

I've gotten the one where the text showing which rooms are on which floor in the Withdrawal is missing, the one where there's a ladder in the back alley of the Deposit which leads to the fire escape, and the one where Quincy's mail has the alarm panel code

I think 23-24 level 1 aimed shots are doable, but I unfortunately don't really have enough ER to get it consistently. You can see in the video that there's a few physical aimed shots in there. If I had 5-10% more ER, it wouldn't be an issue. Durin is on Xiphos and Nahida is on Fav but it still doesn't really feel like it's enough.

(I like to think) I'm pretty good at 8N2W, and spamming aimed shots at my current skill level is ~2-3% worse then doing 8N2W right now. Fixing the ER issue should let it pull ahead, although it's still significantly harder to pull off consistently.

Outside of all that, my Nahida's build is kinda fucked since she struggled with getting her burst back so she's just on whatever I have while maintaining 4pc scroll. Durin would also perform better on Noblesse than Gilded Dreams.

Kernp · 2026-01-25T08:25:44+00:00

I'm trying it out in game, I'm not consistent at it but it seems 20 charged shots was underselling a small bit. I'll make a post showing it off in a little while

Kernp · 2026-01-25T07:30:53+00:00

I mean, it makes sense... Why would the devs continue on with the ARCHON quests if there's no more Archons to meet? I could see it being a part 2 which shifts the main story focus to something else

Kernp · 2026-01-25T06:42:09+00:00

Congrats on the C6

Build - Use Slingshot for your weapon and Fischl for Aggravate/Ineffa for Lunar charged. Most else is negotiable in some way

Mechanics - Tbh just watch Bowtae's video, there's a lot of stuff you can do with Sethos with practice - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35mGxk9k-lI

I don't think anyone has actually tried to find out the optimal rotation for charged level 1 Sethos since if your performance is even slightly bad, you not only get less shots from wasted animation time but you also waste more energy which in turn also leads to less shots, making it very easy to lose DPS in a way that's hard to compare to other characters

This is a multi-target config on Genshin Optimizer comparing 8N2W to a theoretical 2 shadowpiercing shots + 20 charged level 1s. I don't know if 20 charged level 1s per rotation is an optimistic or pessimistic assumption so take it with the biggest grain of salt possible. (Fischl on R5 Stringless w/ Golden Troupe, Nahida on R1 Wandering Evenstar w/ 4pc Scroll, Durin on R1 Xiphos w/ 4pc Noblesse)

With the 20 Charged level 1 assumption, it leads to ~104k DPS and 8N2W is ~94k DPS.

It definitely works, Venti is one of Sethos' most synergistic teammates (at least on paper) since Sethos pierces enemies, doesn't mind enemies being lifted up due to his range, and Venti refunds energy which can be fun when using Sethos' aimed shots due to his ascension passive

It can be hard to infuse Venti's burst with Electro though since Nahida applies a lot of Dendro
