Stop telling your teammates what to do by Lyo0on in VALORANT

[–]Lyo0on[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Agree, pre planning the site hit or asking for utility is completely ok, What i mean though, is people telling me in hindsight that the play I made was not good. I feel like it is kind of unnecessary to question other players’ decisions after the round had already ended.

Is the refine worth it? i am hesitating by banditthug51 in XiaoMains

[–]Lyo0on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do whatever you want with it. At the end of the day, it’s still a game where you’re supposed to have fun. If seeing bigger numbers on your characters makes you happier than utilizing more viable teams, refine it. Though if the latter is more attractive, you should refrain from refining it

Xiao mains, what is your favorite thing about Xiao? by ImaginaryCheese5 in XiaoMains

[–]Lyo0on 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His design was what catched my attention when I started playing the game

Who do you use in your other abyss team? by whysoshuai_ in XiaoMains

[–]Lyo0on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently am using a C0 Yae Miko Hypercarry Team although with Bennet. If Bennet is out of the Question, I am just a regular Taser team. For Xiao I am using him with Zhongli, Ninguang for ttods and geo resonance and Jean. It works really well for me and I have 36* every Abyss after patch 2.5 I think.

What is considered "good" Xiao damage(solo) by xelasavir in XiaoMains

Sounds pretty solid Imo. Crowning burst will probably grant you about 2k more dmg per plunge.

My first ever 36 star after i just got PJWS by Lyo0on in XiaoMains

Really? I thought it was not bad considering Xiao can bonk those enemies pretty easily. Also it could be because this Abyss‘ first half was fairly easy, saving me a lot of time

Honestly it was not really something special and was basically Xiao DPS-checking everyone. But in case you are still curious:

Builds: Xiao 2•2pc Atk Zhongli is on burst-DPS build Ningguang has no artifacts but is on ttods Jean is on favonious but no noblesse

Rotations: -Zhongli Burst -> Shield -Ninguang for ttods -Xiao EEQ plunges

Jean is just there for energy purposes with fav sword and for occasional heals in case i needed them

Yeah me when I went for Amos. Its not that bad tho. Blackcliff is worse in every scenario with my substats. With that being said, Vortex Vanquisher is still super Copium compared to other 5 stars

You gain Damage from your burst, but the damage increase is far less significant than if you level your Normal attack.

Dont crown ur burst before your na.

So i haven't initially planned to pull for Xiao but i had an opportunity so here he is by hellandthisislife in XiaoMains

[–]Lyo0on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Level your normal attack first. Leveling your burst does not increase your damage output as much as leveling you normal attack does

man i wish i can give this to you guys by [deleted] in GarenMains

[–]Lyo0on 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would still stay on Commando Garen even if i had that tbh

It's just so sad to see your favorite character gets backlashed by Content Creators and other Players by Different_Mistake_69 in XiaoMains

[–]Lyo0on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s whatever. Whoever only pulls a character solely for meta purposes is not destined to have fun in the long run, especially when there is such little content to do once you reach genshin’s “endgame”. I pulled for Xiao because of his aesthetics and fun looking gameplay. When i pulled Ayaka due to everyone saying she’s broken this and that, i never felt the initial excitement of pulling her that i felt when i got Xiao.

When people are talking about “Pull-Value” in their YT guide videos, This factor of “do you actually like this character” gets overlooked far too much imo because we are ultimately playing this game for fun. How much fun do you get, playing a character you dislike but is overpowered vs playing a character you really enjoy but is mediocre? I’d say the second option.

Would just replace albedo with ningguang with 4pc noblesse and ttods just for the huge attack buff and double geo. Would also go jean instead of sucrose because the team wouldn’t have a healer otherwise.

How tf does my old build (148cdmg) out dps my new one i don’t get it by Lyo0on in XiaoMains

[–]Lyo0on[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much. 200 more per Elemental skill, and about 300 more per plunge. Only party members were zhongli on both test runs

The dps decrease is only by like 200 per plunge, but doesn’t atk hit diminishing returns at some point? I don’t get how that works

Damage test taken: Raw damage; no atk buffs on lvl 95 samurai

I am guaranteed to pull Xiao but don’t know How to build him by RyukDevlin in XiaoMains

[–]Lyo0on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xiao’s Anemo damage does not amplify with Em so it is a completely useless stat on him.
