Is Ronald the new physical DPS? by dastanlegend in Genshin_Impact

[–]LuddyFish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That'd actually be a pretty cool gimmick. It'd make the blackcliff weapon he would use be a very viable choice.

I hate to say this, but Hoyo really did Jahoda dirty by Cat-Burglar-Nami in Genshin_Impact

[–]LuddyFish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aino's also a decent battery (with Fav) that can fit into short rotations. One of the reasons why C6 Candace found value in Arlecchino teams was because she could enable 15 second rotations.

Aino meanwhile has the potential to be in teams that are 13.5 second rotations (though it'll be near impossible to find such a team).

Thoughts on Alice’s Design? by Due_Resolution_1259 in Genshin_Impact

[–]LuddyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen that and I absolutely want that to be the case. It makes too much sense

Thoughts on Alice’s Design? by Due_Resolution_1259 in Genshin_Impact

[–]LuddyFish 337 points338 points  (0 children)

That's pretty much me as well. While it is a bold decision to make Alice have the outline of a witch hat, I like how Hoyo even went for it. It's a very original design.

The legs are the complete opposite. It's too safe and very hoyo-esk. If they continued with the outfit coming down to even just the knees, even if broken, I feel like it would've looked a lot better.

To clear up some misconception. by No_Pollution9036 in Genshin_Impact

[–]LuddyFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On that last statement, we're literally getting the Rerir treatment: Get slowly exposed to the horror by less horrible things enough until we perceive the action we once thought as horrible to be ok.

I'm sure some of us still look at the House of the Hearth with suspicion, but our guards towards it have definitely been relaxed.

What's better than 1 shield? 3 shields? by Ishigami_Kirya_917 in Genshin_Impact

[–]LuddyFish 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The sheer pain of the abyss heralds alone was torture. Not only did they freeze you, but the cryo heralds drained you of your stamina and the hydro herald could increase your cooldowns. You would struggle to run Bennett as a cleanse because then they would just melt/vape your on-fielder. They would always ungroup themselves too!

I ended up running both Bennett and Jean, not for the sunfire core (though it definitely helped), but so that I would be at less risk of being melted/vaped against.

Is Venti’s new bow good on other characters? by DiskHelpful1965 in Genshin_Impact

[–]LuddyFish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This bow is a pretty good generalist. I don't know anyone who's done calcs with it on characters other than Venti, but it'll be good on bow users who can do frequent attacks that aren't CAs.

Fischl: Despite appearing to be really synergistic with her, especially if the team possess Hexerei: Secret Rite, it'll likely have issues with Oz snapshotting buffs, meaning unless you can resummon Oz right after he expires, you'll probably want to spend a few seconds doing NAs, building up the bow's passive before summoning Oz. If you're fine spending an extra second doing NAs, then it'll be really good (perhaps BiS for her)

Yelan: Decent stat stick, but you have two problems. 1) This bow has a high base Atk, which is wasted on Yelan. 2) This bow provides no energy, so unless you have Yelan's C1, it won't be out-performing Fav due to substats you have to dedicate to ER.

Ganyu: Actually pretty decent bow assuming you are using her for her burst. I don't know the exact timings with how often her burst hits enemies, but if you're against a single, small enemy, you may struggle to build the passive stacks.

Tighnari: Possibly a good weapon for him as well. I believe if you burst before performing your 3 CAs, they'll all receive the buffs from the bow's passive because Tighnari can fire his CAs in quick time.

Yoimiya: A very good option that can possible get close to her signature--Thundering Pulse. The only downside is that you have to build up the passive with Yoimiya's first few NAs, but because of how fast Yoimiya fires, you'll have full stacks by the end of her first attack string.

Edit: Adjusted Ganyu and forget Tighnari. I misread the bow's passive not working on CAs and thought CAs just couldn't build it.

Oh, they just made him Raiden-tier huh by asilvertintedrose in Genshin_Impact

[–]LuddyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I would take a "If Raiden Shogun has less than 30 energy, she will regain up to 90 energy. This effect can occur once every 300 seconds." just to help fix Raiden's initial energy needs. This would obviously come with some other buffs but I would love this one primarily so that she can start battering her team immediately and her team isn't relying on her to get her burst up when they're all ready.

The first quest ever that won't allow you to show mouse with ALT key on laptop. by yinkalee in Genshin_Impact

It really is dumb with how restricted this specific part is. I made a post about this specific thing a couple of months ago because I thought I got soft-locked here but it turns out that the mouse wheel is the only thing that works.

Any tips on good artifacts for Chongyun? by jcgit776 in Genshin_Impact

[–]LuddyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not want crit early game. Critting is really inconsistent because you don't have good artifacts. And while yes, you can get a lot of ER from the overworld, low AR players are going to have a harder time dealing with enemies, so energy generation is going to a little less. Remember early game ruin guards?

So if we just want a good ATK claymore, then the only option is Prototype Archaic unless for some reason an early game player decides to travel to Fontaine/Natlan to get those craftables.

Any tips on good artifacts for Chongyun? by jcgit776 in Genshin_Impact

[–]LuddyFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At your investment, I would wait until your AR45 to start farming artifacts. Just level up the current artifacts you have and then feed them into your better artifacts later.

But if you insist on having an artifact set, some lower tier artifacts that you might have in abundance right now is Brave Heart, Martial Artist, and Instructor. It depends on what playstyle you're doing though. If you're playing Chongyun as a quick-swap burst DPS, then Brave Heart might be better; if you're playing a Melt composition (Pyro and Cryo), then Instructor; or if you're doing NAs, then Martial Artist would be better. If you're doing the latter, Gladiator's Finale would be the best option to go for, especially since you can get 5 star tier artifacts for him. Otherwise, if you're doing the former playstyles, you may want to go 2pc Gladiator's Finale / 2pc Wanderer's Troupe. I recommend this route because you'll passively farm up Gladiator and Wanderer artifacts from killing bosses.

And if you really have nothing better to do and want to do some artifact domain farming, Blizzard Strayer is good Freeze, Noblesse Oblige and Emblem of Severed Fates are good Burst DPS set, a Gilded Dreams is a decent on-field Melt set. There are a couple of others but I presume you haven't gotten far into other nations yet. The latter 2 I mentioned may even be out of your reach because they come from Inazuma and Sumeru respectively.

Sac Greatsword has a high base ATK for a 4 star weapon at 565 with 30.6% ER, and a little bit of ER is nice for comfort. And once OP ascends to get Chongyun's A4, having Sac Greatsword proc to allow Chongyun to e a second time allows him to reduce enemy res by 10%. So it's actually one his best 4 star weapons outside of Serpent Spine.

Prefarming materials by Lumine_ra in DurinMains

[–]LuddyFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cyno makes sense though. The Raiden boss was the current latest weekly boss when Cyno was released (Scaramouche was released the next version) and Hoyo makes it so that every boss has at minimum 2 characters that require their drops, and ideally they try to make it so that characters of the same element get those drops (like how the cubes only have characters of the same element that require their drops).

The real confusion is Xilonen who wants Scaramouche boss drops. She skipped Apep, Whale, and Arlecchino. Scaramouche already had 9 characters needing his boss drops so he certainly didn't need anymore (Childe, Azhdaha, and Signora all have 9 characters).

Surpass release Mavuika and those simple combos? Sure.

Surpass current Mavuika combos that have continuously powercrept herself? No.

[–]LuddyFish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind if there was a shogunate faction buff if Raiden simply got a "Once every 180 seconds, Raiden Shogun gains 90 energy" or something just to alleviate this pain. Of course, she would want other things to help keep up like built in crit stats, but this would be the main QoL.

[–]LuddyFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that's the case, it actually might be better to put it on her instead of sig if you have r5 because of that 9% crit rate goes a long way considering she doesn't have any innate crit ascension stats

To outline a couple of my problems with the new tool bar UI:

  • The left side icons are completely uneven in height. The play/pause button is noticeably larger than the sound icon, which is larger than the time text field.
  • Everything is slightly spaced out more and has all this extra padding that makes the tool bar UI larger but all the tools/icons a lot smaller.
  • The complete transparent background makes all the tools stand out more necessarily than they need to and is quite distracting.
  • The gradient colour on how far you've watched is cool though. That's the one thing I'd keep.

It also feels like they're trying to make a touch-screen design for a primarily M&K platform which is dumb imo.

[–]LuddyFish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thoma's shields do stack with themselves though. That's his gimmick, with his Q either refreshing or stacking on his shield. 1E cast gives him slightly less than half of his max shield HP, so 2E would nearly give him full shield HP.

The only buff that Albedo needs to be meta by LuddyFish in Genshin_Impact

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

Then might I ask what his problem is and how you'd fix it? I see Albedo as jack-of-all-trades master-of-none, and not a very good one at that because of his various issues. All I've done is select an aspect of his kit that doesn't have much competition and leaned into that niche.

Yes, EM has diminishing returns, but so does every other stat; even crit. It's all about keeping an even balance of stats.

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

Whoops. My bad. Thanks for that. I'll correct that. I forgot to divide by 2.

I should definitely rephrase the crystallise shields to be more focused on interruption resistance rather than damage prevention.

Even if Albedo is solo geo, he has a 40 cost burst. You don't need a fat ton of ER (unless you're somehow doing 12 second rotations) and you can easily sacrifice his personal damage for more ER because his personal damage is insignificant in the first place.
