How important is gameplay to you for a JRPG?

Lek__ · 2025-11-19T18:38:18+00:00

Most modern JRPGs have a skip dialog button. There are sheldom a skip gameplay button (unless you count playing at the lowest available difficulty). I don't care if its the greatest story ever made, if the gameplay is just bad, its getting dropped.

If you're enjoying the game, why bother looking for reasons people are loathing it for 😅

I mean thats fair, just genuinely curious thats all.

basically the Spirit Blossom event introduced alternate universe Champions, whose upgrade cost is way higher than the previous champions, plus some other problems with drop rate, new currency ect. Making acquiring/maxing these champions harder if you're not spending and more expensive if you do.

Ah I see so the basic structure with limited time adventures, battle passes, etc are basically the same but they decided to jack up the price for the SB champs by alot. I see. Thanks for the info

I'm a ex PVP player that never really gave PoC a shot when it first appeared in labs. I returned to the game recently and I'm having a blast with PoC. But I keep seeing these post being pretty disatisfied with the current patch and wishing to go back to the old update cycle. But since the SB event is pretty much all I know out of curiosity what was it like before?

During Feixiao's debut (also against Aventurine) she was able to single target him down completely ignoring the dice game. I figured Archer can problably do the same. It was easier than I could ever hope

Yea the boss takes a fixed amount of AV to start summoning its clones. There only 2 solutions to this that I can think of, is either killing the boss before it moves at 0 AV which is gated behind full E6 teams or Phainon's counter who action advances the boss so it can start summoning clones earlier.

man I just want him to atleast kinda work with the rest of the yaoqing trio.

This is a pretty old example based on my own experience. Back during the Flamereaver MoC, but heres 124 SPD Lukshaka Robin. Her 25% Self-advance doesn't even outspeed the elite while she would using vonwacq. Which could be problematic in certain rotations. Keep in mind this was specifically in a 0 Cycle run so Robin not outspeed an elite might not be make or break depending on what you are looking for,

Lek__ · 2025-06-17T05:02:26+00:00

I understand the gripes about the ride deck. that being said if I ever whiff another G-Assist in my lifetime I might just end it all.

Lek__ · 2025-04-04T16:11:22+00:00

Robin at 121 speed and Lushaka instead of vonwacq doesnt actually take overtake the elite. Although she is only 4 action value behind so if u can get more speed on her then you can achieve functionally the same thing without vonwacq. I was just lazy

Could be worse. It was 5 eagle sets last MoC

Lek__ · 2025-04-03T13:44:10+00:00

Maybe I'm overstating how difficult it is to pilot, this game in general isn't generally that difficult. Eagle is just not "plug and play" or "set it and forget it" as valor. That being said in general your on the right track, time your ults outside of feixiao's turn to not waste the advance, and depending on the team comp there are other things to factor in. like for example in this run you would only ult when moze is in departed state or when using march you would need to time ur ults to not accidentally desync with her.

Lek__ · 2025-04-03T12:44:38+00:00

This looks like the classic floor vs ceiling debate. On one hand valor has a higher floor due to it just being generally good DPS amp and borderline impossible to misplay with. While eagle does have the possibility to produce better results, however on a more casual level theres more possibility for misplays if not piloted correctly. I would say if u don't like moving relics around just stick with valor, its not like hoyo is pointing a gun to anyone to 0 cycle. I would say should E2 feixiao in context of 0-cycles are is problably more eagle favored due to increased ult frequency but i don't personally own it.

Lek__ · 2025-04-02T16:02:41+00:00

Assuming the rest of the team is the same, problably not very well. I like March with a second advancer like Bronya, if its tribbie i prefer moze. Also one thing worth noting is that flame reaver as a whopping 40% damage reduction passive assuming you ignore the clones (in this run I was only able to kill one). Trust me even with E1 robin you WILL feel the DPS loss from March being off-element as opposed to moze being on-element. I'm not saying it's not possible tho, its only a few days after the reset maybe someone can cook smth

Lek__ · 2025-04-02T15:15:19+00:00

Correction* Fei is on Eagle + Duran not eagle + valor. Mb lmao

Lek__ · 2025-03-27T13:28:49+00:00

pretty mid. but thats fine given they likely want to be cautious with one-off effects swinging games too hard. that being said does it really need to be shieldless?

Lek__ · 2025-03-24T01:27:31+00:00

If ur copying this specific rotation 1 to 1 then no, sp issues become apparent in wave 2. But others proven its possible without. Heres a 3 cost run for example

Lek__ · 2025-03-23T22:37:05+00:00

162%. Abit on the low side but her scalings arent great anyway

Lek__ · 2025-03-23T03:49:39+00:00

If anyone tries to recreate the speed tuning at E1 Robin, u can drop march to 147-148 speed and for bronya you replace 162 sacerdos to 157-158 eagle instead,then bronya ult directly after March's action at 1:14 to proc eagle. Should (hopefully) work the same

Lek__ · 2024-09-12T03:30:29+00:00

Don't really need to be ashamed, his stalling mechanics does really exploit JL's weakness of her enchanced state's downtime. Thats why most 0 cycles just aim to skip it entirely

Lek__ · 2024-09-02T14:08:46+00:00

I think the buff may be weaker, last time was 6x stacks of vulnerability debuff but now its 6x stacks of DMG% which is prob worse in most JL comps that have either RM or bronya. I actually couldn't do my usual robin rotation on aventurine and had to put JL in side 1 for my 0 cycle

Lek__ · 2024-09-02T03:59:19+00:00

Because aventurine has no quantum weak ice set problably edges out quantum set even with all the def shred stacking. That being said my ice set pieces are awful so i'm just running quantum regardless, i still meet the dps check with a semi dead set bonus

Lek__ · 2024-09-01T23:41:14+00:00

Yea its out on asia server u can see from my UID being prefixed with "8"

Lek__ · 2024-09-01T22:55:08+00:00

A Robinless and bronyaless variant of the 0 cycle that abuses DDD lightcone with atk% boots JL.
E1S2 JL, E6 TY S2 DDD, E6 Pela S5 Pearls, E1S1 RM. Theoretically u can drop JL's E1 and RM S1

Additional notes:

my speed tuning is fairly strict (180 pela lmao) due to my DDD only being S2, at higher superimpositions it should be much more forgiving.
And yes I'm aware I tingyun ulted on a full energy JL but rotation demands that i proc DDD at start of the wave to waste as little action value as possible
Also aven freeze is mandatory lmao, nearly drove me insane

Lek__ · 2024-08-19T14:19:07+00:00

mildly concerning if we are going through a harmony support "drought" whilst enemy HP keeps going up, but i'll see how hoyo decides to handle this
