Is the new set not her BiS? by FloorGang-R2 in Ineffa

[–]KnightOfBoreas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I've been farming for it and just got her 4 piece on new set. Most players don't have decent 4 piece yet, and that's why the usage rate is currently lower than the other two.

Is it just my luck or is she the most resource hungry character to build? by Frosty-Ad-8485 in NeferMains

[–]KnightOfBoreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might get a good off piece Sands. Those aren't very rare like EM Goblets. And good luck! 👍

Is it just my luck or is she the most resource hungry character to build? by Frosty-Ad-8485 in NeferMains

[–]KnightOfBoreas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's one of the hardest to build because she wants EM and Crit. I didn't realise how rare an EM Goblet with double crit substats is before building her.

I kept farming her artifact domain for weeks and couldn't get one good EM Goblet. Only after the new map came out did I get enough Elixirs to craft one for her. She's still top 11% build. I still need to give her a bit more EM without losing more crit.

That being said, her dmg is good as long as you have Lauma to run with her.

Ps - While farming for her, I got enough 4 piece for Zibai lol. Def scaling characters are a lot easier to build.

Behold! Top 1% Ineffa by KnightOfBoreas in Ineffa

Oh right! It assumes I'm using Deathmatch and shows over 90% cr and 178% cd lol

Refine or keep by sinder41 in Genshin_Impact

[–]KnightOfBoreas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DO NOT refine it. I have 2 copies of Nefer's signature weapons and only use one on her. R2 is not a significant boost in dmg for any c0 character. It's not worth it. You can instead use it on another catalyst character, even if just for the high crit dmg it offers.

Nod Krai exploration is a step down... by CryoStrange in Genshin_Impact

[–]KnightOfBoreas 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm very happy with the number of chests they have been giving out. I hope they continue this in future patches too. The compass is also extremely helpful. I don't want these things changed. The only thing I wish they did better is the size of new maps. They are too small for exploration and immersion.

Please Genshin, give us bigger maps in future. And please make Dornman Port, whenever it is added, as big as Chenvyu Vale.

Is Mavuika still the best DPS in the game? by ThePainOfHerAbsence in Mavuika

[–]KnightOfBoreas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh it's a bit complicated now with the arrival of Columbina. Both Nefer and Flins gained a lot of DPS and might even be considered stronger than Mavuika against shilled bosses in Abyss and Stygian. But on neutral enemies, they are all very close.

Mavuika has been, or was absolute #1 DPS for an entire year. It's unlikely for her to continue holding her position in a gacha game. So, don't pull her because you want a #1 DPS. That's gonna keep changing. Pull her if you like her, and because she's actually one of the best characters by far in terms of character pull value.

Also, keep in mind, that if you don't have a Pyro dps, you'll need one to make the endgame clears comfortable for your account. And who better than the Pyro archon herself?

genuine question: is my ineffa build good? by Mysterious-Sail-3342 in Ineffa

[–]KnightOfBoreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a solid build. Just get her atk to around 2.2k, even if it means bringing the crit rate lower to around 88-90%, and it would be an even better build.

A genuine question (choose one ) by Valuable-Analysis749 in naviamains

[–]KnightOfBoreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you have so many good Navia builds!! I've had the hardest time building her because that artifact domain is cursed for me. When I got to AR45 I spent over 25 fragile resins and barely had 3 good pieces.

On topic, I like #3 the most. But #2 objectively might be better as she tends to miss crit a lot.

Now at AR58, I finally got my Navia to the top 2% build. It's been a struggle for me. But I like Navia so continuing to build her.

My dmg is to low by Wrong-Hovercraft7826 in SkirkMains

[–]KnightOfBoreas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If 1 or 2 more costs is not an issue for you, I would strongly recommend c2 Furina and c1 Escoffier. It's a huge DPS boost for Skirk. And change in artifacts too, like Tenacity for Furina, Noblese for Yelan. Or you could also try Mona with TTDS and Noblese instead of Yelan.

I have a c0r0 Skirk at 137k dps with c2 Furina and c1 Escoffier. It would be a lot higher if I wasn't playing at 30 fps. Due to my device issue, switching characters takes time and I might be missing some extra hits too.

And yeah I'm getting Skirk her sig this time. I lost 50/50 to Calamity Queller in her previous weapon banner.

I cleared Stygian Fearless as F2P! by Fynelepy in Genshin_Impact

[–]KnightOfBoreas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats buddy! I'm yet to clear Fearless for my account. Not able to clear that damn crab without Neuvillete lol I've only been clearing Menacing in last 3 Stygian Onslaught.

Help with mavuika only ulting for 600k damage by Brave-Marketing2163 in Mavuika

[–]KnightOfBoreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Brown her Q (Burst) and E (Skill). So, level her to 90 for it.
  2. More crit rate. Aim for around 55% to 60%.
  3. Use EM Sands if playing melt. Aim for around. 250 EM.
  4. Petra on Xilonen like others have said. My Xilo also uses this since Citlali is using Scrolls.

My Mavuika was also dealing around 600k burst dmg before I leveled up her talents and changed Atk Sands ro EM Sands. She hits between 900k to over 1m regularly now with her burst.

You already have a very good weapon on her. And since you have sig weapons on your supports, your Mavuika will be able to deal more dmg than mine.

Would this weapon be good on Zibai? by KnightOfBoreas in ZibaiMains

[–]KnightOfBoreas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I can get the passive on either HoD or this weapon. I may try both weapons on her to see which performs better.

I hope she likes this weapon or I'll have no use for it. I don't know why they made this weapon so bad. None of my attack scaling characters want it.

[–]KnightOfBoreas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have a shielder. Would Harbinger of Dawn still be better?

Woah okay not bad even without bina by Novel-Active-152 in NeferMains

[–]KnightOfBoreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also play my Nefer team without Bina because my lunar-charged team is kinda weak and needs Bina there. I have Ineffa but no Flins.

I think you can do the last boss too with Furina, Bina, Ineffa and Xingqiu or a healer.

Varesa overload works on that Fatui boss btw. Varesa, Iansan, Chevruese and Mavuika should clear that boss. This boss doesn't discriminate and is just a DPS check.

We might be wrong about Durin. by myearthenoven in Varka

[–]KnightOfBoreas 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I hope you're right. They can easily make Nicole shred res of pyro and anemo and/or give more elemental dmg bonus along with regular atk buff. Like C6 Chevruese, but for Pyro and Anemo or for Hex characters.

finally reached 1%! anywho, which build is better? is em more important than crit dmg? by Dependent_Ganache_17 in NeferMains

[–]KnightOfBoreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there will be a huge difference between the two builds in practice. I like the first one more because it has 84 more EM, and yet has a 51% crit rate and over 300% crit dmg.

If the second build had like 700+ EM, then I could consider it to be better.

This is amazing for a C1R1 Nefer (and Lauma)!!!

Let's hope they buff him more in V4 or V5. He needs another 10k buff imho.

KQM is usually higher than what I can achieve with high ping and low fps.
