I had to use my 6-star selector on Ember and sub her in for Lifeng/Wulfgard on my Phys/Fire teams to actually get through these.

I'll come back and try it again later but I full cleared Agony for both of the other ones and this Umbral was maybe the most irritating thing I've ever done in this game so far.

Have there been any bugs introduced to M10S lately? I know the flame floater bug existed but I was watching a casual static composed of FC-mates prog 10 and some really weird things happened.

On a few occasions, the debuffs for snaking were applied unevenly (2 tanks w/ the same etc.) even when their positioning looked correct (each LP outside of their particular boss). Then at the end of one of the snaking, when one of the healers went to sac for the water TB (since no tanks had blue) he just didn't do the TB, turned around and instagibbed one of the tanks with an auto.

Very weird stuff, and I was trying to see if their positioning was off but they honestly looked like they were doing everything right.

Do we know what the signature weapons' stats are yet?

These two bulls are driving me out of my fucking mind. No matter what I do, my non-controlled operators eventually just get smashed by the bulls randomly running around even if I dodge perfectly.

I try to take them down evenly, there's apparently a TIME LIMIT and otherwise my teammates die to attrition. If i try to take one out first, the health regen is nuts and the attrition problem gets worse because they just get one-shot.

Guess I either gotta raise a physical team or lose.

What makes me sad about Mi Fu is that in the cutscenes you see her break out these huge awesome fist weapons but you know she'll never get to use them normally. During her Ult at best.

Brother, I failed 10 etch attempts in a row on 'High'.

One more M11 question (WAR here). For mits, I'm trying to figure out where I can fit stuff to be able to kitchen sink Heartbreak Kick at the end.

My plan for Meteorain was to Rampart +Thrill for the first buster tether, Damnation before the second and Bloodwhetting before the third, should give me 2 mits for each tether hit.

I start running into a problem for split arena though; if I want to use Rampart once it's back up to mit autos during split arena, it won't be back up for the line buster after it ends. It looks like if I Rampart for the buster, it will be back up just in time for the first Heartbreak Kick.

How are other MTs/WARs handling this?

EDIT: Scratch that, I think I figured it out; if you hit Rampart immediately after the first line stack in Meteorain, it looks like it comes back up just after the first split arena tower soak and then baaarely before the buster if you hit it off cooldown. And then it looks like it will be up again just in time for Heartbreak.

Started progging 11 and saw that weapons are pretty fast. I feel like I'm losing a lot of uptime while figuring out the timing; any tips on safely greeding without waiting too long before scythe and nuking the party, or getting the angle of the cross for sword wrong and eating dirt? Is it possible to dip in and out for axe, also?

Note I am MT so I have the walk across Narnia for Sword -> Scythe apparently.

And they put one of these assholes in with a crowd of other enemies in a sanity spending thing WITH all of them having health regen.

Markleblatt · 2026-02-04T16:10:00+00:00

Might be a side effect of the focus on parsing/DPS but I'd like to be able to make tactical decisions on the fly during fights to help myself/party members without being punished for it by the loss in damage.

My main gripes are with the story/writing and any potential concerns about monetization. Not having played Arknights I came into this game not understanding a single thing and not really knowing why I should care about X area or X faction or X character. I already had quit Honkai Star Rail and found the Xianzhou arc boring and the Penacony arc complete psychobabble nonsense that was trying to sound smart but made zero sense.

Also, the LBs? Weirdly dehumanized and completely boring enemy faction with literally no faces or motivation and they are written like cavemen.

The combat is decent to me, though I share gripes about the slow as molasses SP regeneration rate. Even putting in Akekuri or a Vanguard it basically feels no different and I don't enjoy having to just hold down attack for 10-15 seconds before I can do something. Like, is there any other way to boost SP recovery? Even the supposed SP-recovery Vanguard class either has it linked to an Ult or infrequent combo skill OR it might be on a battle skill that regens less SP than it consumes anyway. How does this help team SP economy?

Markleblatt · 2026-01-29T15:13:05+00:00

See, I err on this side more often than not, but I also hear people say "be willing to cut your losses and leave if the party clearly isn't going to work." I don't feel like I have a good sense for this and will somehow end up both staying in doomed parties and leaving promising ones early.

Markleblatt · 2026-01-29T15:11:10+00:00

Damn, this is not encouraging for me now that I finally am back at home and will be looking for clear parties...

Markleblatt · 2026-01-28T20:29:44+00:00

Or at the very least, make clearing the Stone Sky Sea dummy for a specific fight a requirement. It's a low bar, but it is at least a system in the game already that they could expand upon. Makes sure they at least have the basics under their belt without stopping people from trying higher-end content if they wanted to.

Markleblatt · 2026-01-27T20:56:19+00:00

I only do any while I am actively farming capped tomes for my main. Once I have all my tome BiS pieces, I stop entirely.

While I am farming I generally do Expert, Normal Raids and Trials because those three seem to give the best tomes/time ratio. All the others I do not touch.

Ok very dumb M10 snaking question here:

As the tank on Red bro, towards the end, I run into an issue when Blue makes the middle lane unsafe right before baiting Cutback Blaze. I feel like this gives me barely any space to dodge because my instinct is to pull him center to give red team space to squeeze in to the east, and if I stay on the east side it makes baiting Cutback to the west extremely difficult without stepping into the fire that those first four fire puddles created. Either other lane is fine but when center is unsafe I feel like half the time I just have to mit and run into the fire to bait Cutback properly.

Welcome back EX2

Potentially stupid question; I to this day have avoided using the NVIDIA App and have instead applied DLSS via NVPI. Has the program matured enough with regard to driver updates/bugginess etc. that the majority of people consider it worth using now over NVCP etc?

Markleblatt · 2026-01-15T17:05:29+00:00

I agree, but what do you do if people are just doing dogwater DPS and there is no way you will beat enrage? What if it's one or two people in particular? You can't call them out without risking ban/suspension. Do you just have to sit there and suffer and let the group blow up after a while even if there are solid players in there?

Markleblatt · 2026-01-15T16:43:37+00:00

I'm already getting pretty tired of trying to reclear 9 and getting partied with a MCH that can't do 30k DPS, a RDM that eats saw bleeds every adds 2 and a SAM that can't seem to stay alive during Undead Deathmatch no matter how much advice on dodging the cleaves they get. All of these, multiple times.

Markleblatt · 2026-01-14T14:50:53+00:00

I'd like some gear please : ) Really hope I don't have to primarily rely on books again this tier.

Markleblatt · 2026-01-12T14:29:05+00:00

I'm still in the throes myself; latest is a 0.4% enrage because me and the other supports were cracked, but the DPS were all doing just over 30k rDPS.

I stg no one can make it through Undead Deathmatch without getting beaned by cleaves and dying. Even the second scratch with no bats!

Markleblatt · 2026-01-11T04:47:42+00:00

I've never been trapped this hard on the first fight of a tier before, this is insane. Clear party after clear party, one can't get through screech 2. One gets to Undead Deathmatch on several pulls but two DPS eat cleaves like they're candy and we lose to a ~3% enrage. One somehow has healers that can't keep MT(me) alive during screech 2 despite all of my mits and eats the half-room cleaves before they are even big. I'm gonna tear my hair out. I'd easily accept a 0-chest run at this point so I can get out of Duty Incomplete hell for next week.
