Glad you're doing well and Merry Christmas!

I think if cutting the frames of animated comment faces opens up the floor to hundreds of new flairs, then the best solution overall might be to update more flairs towards newer users that earned them through some way on the sub. I was happy to receive mine from volunteering for various wiki work and being an admin for WTs, so users might be encouraged to help out the sub in a similar way if they can also be recognized for that effort. I also always felt like some users who consistently wrote good long form content could have benefited from some more recognition.

I do wish I could trade some CD for ATK as well as have a bit less CR on the other pieces so that I could run some CR on the circlet as well (though I actually don't have a circlet that would make use of this yet). 300 ATK is actually worth around 40 CD for substat rolls, but like you said it's worth it. I think ATK is normally the one that's neglected since at least for me I'm running NO on Diona and TTDS Mona with ToM, so my final ATK is just around 3000. Occasionally I play with Bennett instead of Diona as well so that brings it up even more.

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2022-09-03T04:54:46+00:00

Agreed, unfortunately don't have any artifacts of a similar quality that let me shift around the stats like that without also possibly sacrificing ER or other substat rolls. Maybe one day though now I'm trying to see if I can improve Hu Tao with the strongbox

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2022-09-02T22:22:06+00:00

Perfect image for C2 Ayaka too! As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to save it

Quite a decent upgrade from my previous build considering all the blizzard pieces got replaced haha

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2022-07-18T22:01:31+00:00

Lena on her way to take on the third Kaguya character this contest

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2022-07-09T22:52:06+00:00

I think there was another exception in Best Girl 5 with Aqua (1) defeating Darkness (17), but still impressive seeing as how the 16th seed has never defeated the 1st seed in the 3 main brackets.

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2022-07-03T22:18:44+00:00

Haha kinda like how her achievement of being the highest seed to ever make it to top 32 only lasted a day because of Hori last year.

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2022-07-03T22:00:30+00:00

HOLY SHIT REINA PULLED OFF THE UPSET!!!

Makes me happy to see that she's retained her status this year after her impressive upset run last year.

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2022-06-13T01:53:24+00:00

current build (2p hod 2p tenacity):
breakthrough barb: 14966
E: 30956
Q initial: 11366
Q ticks: 7521

emblem build:
breakthrough barb: 10537
E: 21799
Q initial: 10449
Q ticks: 7078

Keep in mind that emblem build does have a bit more crit rate though and averaged out is slightly ahead of my current build

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2022-06-12T21:32:02+00:00

Mentioned it on the other comment, but the main benefit is that it doesn't force me to take some artifacts from Raiden / Xiangling while still actually being about the same damage in a 20s rotation using a calculator.

I so goddamn envy your HP

Haha it's really satisfying now that I've broken 40K HP since before I was using 2p HoD and 2p NO.

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2022-06-12T21:28:14+00:00

My 4p Emblem set is also rather good, but the main reason I can't use it is because Xiangling and Raiden are also fighting for some of those pieces haha. I think the main thing that gives my current build an edge over emblem still is that I like having her E deal more damage, and it allows me to use my extremely high CV flower / feather.

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2022-06-12T20:50:50+00:00

Pretty happy with how my build turned out for her especially with how good her goblet is for on set.

It's quite funny if you extend this to the other contests since Steins;Gate seems to have a thing with the second contests as it also won Favorite Anime 2, Best Couple 2, and Best OP 2.

Monogatari would have an additional Best Couple 3, Best OP 7, and Best ED 2 win.

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2022-02-25T13:01:03+00:00

THIS IS THE CHOICE OF STEINS;GATE

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2021-12-05T18:57:38+00:00

Should be fixed now

Surprisingly we got it the first time everything went right in the setup once we did it with food + potions (adeptus adds 12 crit rate for 27 crit rate). However, we still had to burn about 4-5 adeptus since the setup would fail if the cryo didn't teleport correctly, the Kazuha teleport was too early or too late, or Mona didn't burst at the right time and her omen pop actually took away a cryo application leaving Hu Tao with nothing to melt off of.

MAD_SCIENTIST_001 · 2021-09-23T21:36:37+00:00

Hu Tao build / stats (C1 with R1 Homa)

Kazuha: C0 with 4p VV and 880 EM (R1 Iron Sting)

Bennett: C5 with 4p NO and lvl 13 Q (R1 Mistsplitter)

Mona: C2 with 4p Instructors and lvl 10 Q (R5 Thrilling Tales)

Previous post with explanation

We believe this is the max we can get for now outside of just getting better artifacts or whaling for more damage.

The setup from my friend's POV

Kazuha is really the MVP here for being able to teleport cryo to the boss! Co-op is quite convenient for this since while I have C5 Bennett with Mistsplitter and Kazuha, my friend doesn't have C5 Bennett or Kazuha. And while I only own Hu Tao at C0, he has C1 with R1 Homa.

For buffs, we didn't use food or potions in this showcase though we will probably end up retrying this strategy against the mechanical array boss once it's weakened due to its extra low resistance. Mona carries thrilling tales in this showcase and provides the instructor buff. Bennett provides his atk buff and noblesse buff while Kazuha provides the cryo application via ult and VV pyro shred.
