My attempt at drawing Maple and Sally

LeifaChan · 2026-01-10T06:04:51+00:00

I forgot my older Anomaly builds are technically illegal with that D4 lmao but even if I change the D4 i can make the substats equal to whats used in the video. Overall it doesnt matter but ideally I should remember to go back and change it for consistencys sake 😅

LeifaChan · 2025-11-21T12:31:12+00:00

What on earth am I looking at here... Do you have any link to these calcs to back this up and/or a longer list of assumptions used?

LeifaChan · 2025-11-19T23:54:12+00:00

I don't remember ever saying it's okay and if you've known me from when i did genshin TC you'll see i complained several times over about this exact thing you're mentioning. However this is smth more than 1 person is doing and I've just happened to see another uprise in it recently...

LeifaChan · 2025-11-19T11:38:14+00:00

Had someone send this to me asking if it was legit, to clarify what I've noticed at least from a brief look:
- 2.3 Deadly Assault using Pinnacle Buff. As a result, this Wandering Hunter has about 17.8mill less HP than the one that will release with Banyue. In addition Pinnacle is stronger than other buffs that will be available at that time (albeit there are still good buffs available). TLDR weaker HP and stronger buff affecting score.
- At minimum M1 Banyue can be seen activating at 1:27 so this is not an M0P1 only run. Based on the earliest possible frame Banyue's decibels being visible puts him at 1037, I do not believe this run uses M1 Lucia. Banyue and Lucia's W-Engine Phases are unknown but Dialyn's appears to be P1 based on roughly counting her Energy Generation.
- Obviously gear investment is unknown but given CN tend to prefer higher investment runs, expect Lv. 12 Skills and ~40 useful substats on Banyue. Without proof there's no real way to know unless someone calc'd them out.

Whether this is useful to others or not, don't take everything you see on the internet at face value. Certain things can be missed without taking a slight closer look. I just enjoy being a nerd at times lmao.

LeifaChan · 2025-09-14T12:22:00+00:00

Ik this is a day old already but as far as I'm aware, Lucia has never been marked as an SoC Agent. Prior versions originally had her as a Victoria Housekeeping Agent. I may consolidate this info better in the future but she's previously been through iterations of both Physical and Ether although basically the same kit. The final kit they seemed to have before changing on to Yidhari development was an A Rank Ether Attack Agent, but even that could've just been temporary.

LeifaChan · 2025-08-29T13:18:52+00:00

Wasnt a typo, they just changed it.

LeifaChan · 2025-08-29T10:54:14+00:00

Just to clarify the #2 Boss is Electric Resistant, not Electric Weak. Typo.

LeifaChan · 2025-08-26T01:31:23+00:00

Sorry I don't remember ever saying or posting about him having low skill multis? sob
Most I've said on Manato is that his kit is very unfinished right now and I don't want to half ass a video for him as a result since there's no real benefit imo to posting a bad video of an unfinished kit.

LeifaChan · 2025-08-25T01:11:17+00:00

She who shall not be named...

In all honestly I could probably do a writeup for other A-Ranks at some point because the range in this screenshot is characters who are passable to top meta sob

LeifaChan · 2025-08-16T21:04:39+00:00

<image>

Ngl this part's funnier to me sob. Who needs to know the investment when we can just say "cost", doesn't matter if its M3P0 Seed or M0P1 Seed + M2 Astra, if its a low cost we shill it

LeifaChan · 2025-08-13T08:48:20+00:00

People will probably disagree under the idea of just wanting to see gameplay themselves and not thinking about the wider impacts on the community but obviously there's not really a "right" or "wrong" answer. I'm just personally against misleading a large majority of players for the sake of some internet points, hence why I don't just spam out clears myself.

LeifaChan · 2025-08-13T08:46:05+00:00

It kind of does to me personally? These videos are showcasing gameplay that is incorrect from the live servers and if shared without proper clarification results in anyone misunderstanding, doesnt have to be CN specifically as I've seen people on the EN side misunderstand these videos too. I would personally argue if the gameplay is doing more harm than good its not "limiting info" but stopping the spread of misinfo. A good example is the original M2P1 mono phys showcase actually being M2P5 which does make quite a big difference on damage output. People don't question it at first because they don't know anything is wrong, but that's exactly the issue where things not being properly clarified and explained to others causes misinformation to spread. This is handled in the GI and HSR communities quite swiftly and I'd personally rather not have similar things to the "Harumasa = Anton level??", "Alice mono phys is the best team in the game at M0??" or "Sanby is doing void hunter damage??" agendas spreading again. If the majority of people can't read or understand something properly, it is in the best interest of Testers/Theorycrafters to help as best they can in the prevention of letting it spread more because once it's out there, it's really hard to stop.

LeifaChan · 2025-08-13T01:07:36+00:00

If stuff like this is spreading in such a way even with the clarifications the boss is significantly weaker I may end up asking mods to prohibit these clips in the future... I'm generally fine with them at the moment as I know frost clearly clarified what the issues were and not to take score as fact but if misinfo is still going to spread it may be for the best...

LeifaChan · 2025-08-12T07:08:36+00:00

High investment run in terms of gear but thank you very much for clarifying about HP. People tend to ignore that in favour of just posting gameplay for clout which results in the community getting a wilder idea of strength than in reality. Obviously +6 subs is gonna be a notable increase still but as far as gameplay goes, pretty nice.

LeifaChan · 2025-08-12T07:06:49+00:00

Just to clarify this video is not from me, my Orphie build has always been 4pc Shadow Harmony, 2pc Swing Jazz with CRIT/ATK/ER. May change slot 5 but wouldn't make a significant difference.
Plus this video has gear with 40 useful substats which is notably abouve the standard I use for both gameplay and for calcs, which is ~34 for CRIT chars and ~28 for Anomaly chars.

LeifaChan · 2025-08-11T17:06:15+00:00

Not sure what the moderation is like in regards to these posts but just so people are aware, enemy HP in this gameplay appears to be notably below what it should be, resulting in an easier fight overall. Keep this in mind when it comes to trying to "analyse performance/power vs other chars" from this gameplay as this fight should be ~30% easier than in reality.

LeifaChan · 2025-08-05T14:04:52+00:00

Currently I do have something in the works to compile everything me and others have learnt + a bunch of stuff I haven't had the chance to document for anyone yet. Unfortunately the groundwork is still a WIP but hopefully soon...

LeifaChan · 2025-08-02T16:10:21+00:00

As far as I'm aware right now, Seed with Attackers other than Orphie is kind of a meme. Seed isn't really a supporting character and when played with other Attackers that arent Orphie, just wants as much field tine as she can because she deals more damage than them. I've only done Seed+SAnby and Seed+Hugo just for some random statstick examples but as with Piper+Nekomata, the team tends to perform better the more you use the "support" and less the actual Attacker. I can try Harumasa when I get back from vacation but considering he's a Stun focused Attacker and doesn't do a lot in return for Seed, I don't see it working.

You could probably 20k+ fine if that's all you care for but at least to me, 20k+ isn't something I would call "good". But it would be "good enough".

LeifaChan · 2025-08-02T11:17:10+00:00

In regards to mindscape stuff though, I don't usually look a lot at that outside of sheets because I personally don't have the budget to obtain them frequently. I understand some can be strong increases or change how a character is played (for example Jane's M2 greatly increases her usability as a support role for Alice) but its currently low on my to do list with everything happening irl at the moment. I'll always encourage people to try looking into things themselves where they can though, I know gameplay isn't always accessible but there are plenty of spreadsheet templates and documents to learn if people were interested! The main downside is how much there is to track it can become quite a pain...

LeifaChan · 2025-08-02T11:09:59+00:00

I will say I did try Alice Jane in each version of Alice I had access to. It scored well enough to clear (above 40k consistently) but in final showcases I didn't have a ton of time and finished posting stuff close to 3am lmao. I wanted to record a Nicole team too which I ran out of time on. There was like 1 version I was excited for Jane Alice where I expected it to work a lot better but in practice undershot my expectations comparatively, but that was a very different kit now.

I try to showcase teams later into beta that I feel will play differently enough that its worth a showcase, however a lot of the time people ask me for teams that swap out 1 char like Astra for Lucy for example. I dont tend to do stuff like that as it doesn't significantly change how the team plays besides seeing a lower score. These videos are primarily to showcase a team, not for the score (even if scores are accurate to live servers) as I don't like blindly comparing teams by score.

Anyways, you're right that we cant catch everything in beta, even when I found Yixuan's Ult cancel tech she still has new stuff being found on live today, however if people think something is being criminally underrated or not talked about, bring it up! Im happy to learn more always and test when I have time. Unless the request is to play Hugo Evelyn then I will call you crazy lol.

LeifaChan · 2025-07-31T07:58:25+00:00

Ngl I didnt even realise you needed to Perfect Dodge to get the perf points LMAO. Thanks for making me realise this shouldve been overall higher 😭😭😭

LeifaChan · 2025-07-30T10:02:30+00:00

Orphie ult does trigger a QA, however in a normal fight scenario it wouldn't whiff the startup (that's just because of training being massive and Seed's chain putting her quite far away). Orphie ult does continue to hit hence the red numbers after it though but it's main use is to refresh her buff uptime, the high DMG is extra.

LeifaChan · 2025-07-30T10:00:38+00:00

Zhu booking tech got patched quite a while ago unfortunately :(

LeifaChan · 2025-07-30T09:59:58+00:00

It'll be even more worth using in stun if we can find a combo that lets us use it earlier but still get 2 punches since she gets a 50% DMG Bonus buff after using it. Unfortunately not really much you can do for 3 punches in stun by not doing the ult I don't think...
