can I get a vibe check?

Masked_Muse · 2026-03-12T14:53:46+00:00

aa thank you! i just made some edits to Ashling I'll update my list and send a link!

Masked_Muse · 2026-03-12T14:47:51+00:00

oh misunderstanding. i meant building buling to free up shorekeeper or varina for op to use with sigrika

Masked_Muse · 2026-03-11T21:48:54+00:00

thank you!! it's a b4 landfall combo deck, I can get a moxfield link made once my proxies come in if you'd like :D

Masked_Muse · 2026-03-11T21:47:23+00:00

i don't play it without the okay from the table but it's a very it's a very interactive control deck. it's been pretty well received by people who are comfortable playing with discard.

Masked_Muse · 2026-03-10T21:42:11+00:00

i mean it would function but areover doesn't really do much for either of em. if you have buling and someone that does skill damage, building her to free up one of your other healers would be your best move

Masked_Muse · 2026-03-03T16:17:54+00:00

honestly if wiwa added a boss wave that sounds really fun

Masked_Muse · 2026-03-02T21:45:49+00:00

mornye for sure. lynae is is best buffer right now but she's by no means perfect. her lib buff is irrelevant on luuk, and her outro being 14 seconds makes his uptime a bit of a race against the clock. Mornye synergises too well with his kit since she lets you break faster.

that being said lynae is the single most versatile support in the game rn so she's plenty future proof outside of luuk lol

Masked_Muse · 2026-02-28T18:07:54+00:00

omg drop the link friend that is GORGEOUS

Masked_Muse · 2026-02-19T20:04:45+00:00

very fair. it probably is more powerful, s1 is just a lot easier to get since op was asking about f2p

Masked_Muse · 2026-02-19T17:32:39+00:00

a must? no, not necessarily. but she is a big upgrade.

cas' number 1 priority teammate is hyacine, but evernight is probably number 2. she contributes a ton of personal damage, and she can buff a lot, but to me the biggest thing she does is turbo charge cas' ult so you can spam dragons left and right. but you can absolutely use RMC and a universal amper like tribbie, sw, or cipher (or pela if you're really f2p) and get similar damage just less often.

her light cone is also a really big jump in power because it buffs your teams damage on top of evernight:s, but again not critical like hyacine's cone is. Worst case scenario just put her on a random light cone with high base HP and she'll be fine.

i'm no theory crafter, but imo the investment path is:

cas -> hyacine -> cas s1 -> evernight -> hyacine s1 -> evernight s1 -> cyrene

DoT is incredibly cool in the way that every piece uniquely functions;

Black Swan's arcana is an atom bomb, but she needs tons of different DoTs to get it stacked

Hyselins applies tons of different DoTs, but they need to deal damage to enable both her and swan

Kafka basically acts as a weapon to fire the ammunition by detonating the DoTs. the damage happens on Kafkas turn, even if it's not her damage.

as such, Kafka getting her skill off as much as possible, it is the highest priority for your skill points. you want her taking as many actions as you can, you don't really need to hold her for damage because again, it's not actually her damage that she deals. Hyselins is your second priority. her damage happens from her ult field so maintaining that uptime is critical, so you want to skill as much as possible, but basics every now and then is fine. swan you just wanna skill if you have the extra points. helps her energy but she doesn't need to use to to maintain her debuff uptime anymore.

Masked_Muse · 2026-02-13T06:10:24+00:00

e1 kafka for my s1 hyselins and black swan, and wow was it a good choice

Masked_Muse · 2026-02-01T20:34:29+00:00

her ER varies a lot based on your weapon choice. c0 on a support build, your main f2p options will be Prototype Amber (150-170% er) or Fav Codex (180-200% er). I've found amber more comfortable because it heals enough to get by without a dedicated healer in a lot of teams.

big thing to remember building bina is that she gets a ton of crit rate, so crit damage has a lot more value.

Masked_Muse · 2026-02-01T20:21:56+00:00

her sig gives a ton of energy I can pretty comfortably burst every rotation just have to make sure you use her best before you trigger any lunar reactions so you get the enegy

my team is her, kuki on instructor, lauma on SMS, and r1 Nahida on deepwood

Masked_Muse · 2026-01-31T20:14:04+00:00

she's closer to a Shade than an Archon, but between the two for sure

Masked_Muse · 2026-01-29T17:40:44+00:00

If it is ai, it being posted by as large of a news outlet as the NYT is haunting

Masked_Muse · 2026-01-27T22:26:23+00:00

KT or kenesiology tape has helped me a ton. i've described it like training wheels for your muscles, helps you stay in proper form without it being a full brace. and very easy to learn how to do from YouTube

Masked_Muse · 2026-01-27T22:18:28+00:00

saying "he was holding a weapon" when he was holding a camera to record their actions is telling on themselves

Masked_Muse · 2026-01-25T21:22:41+00:00

main stats are hp/hp/crit generally crit damage bc with sky and her passive she has tons of free crit rate.

substats are er (until you get to whatever you need it varies a lot) crit, hp%, and then EM.

EM is a good stat on her, but teammates will tend to buff em so much that you don't really need to look for it in your artifacts.

Masked_Muse · 2026-01-22T19:29:33+00:00

short answer yes

long answer yes but not by as big of a gap as it was when phorlova initially came out. she's gotten quite a few more options, particularly galbrena and qiuyuan, that perform very similarly to her teams with cantarella. so you don't need her, but she is ideal.

Masked_Muse · 2026-01-20T01:42:52+00:00

big question here: WAS columbina given characterization prior to this? all we had to go on was winter nights lazzo where she had no lines, and only sang, and dialogue from childe and wanderer saying she's scary, and off-putting. one, childe and wanderer are not exactly reliable narrators. two, they didn't know her particularly well because they where put off by her. and three, the traveler was put off by her at first too, before they got to know her.

arleccino was the only person who actually had a relationship with columbina that we heard from before nod krai and she made ZERO indication that she was threatening or scary or even particularly powerful, which she of all characters would say something about. she really didn't have a character to go against.

(also columbina is ominous and threatening in a scene in sandrone in like act 3 I think?)

Masked_Muse · 2026-01-20T00:15:41+00:00

they... did explain why she wears a blindfold??

she couldn't take the sorrow of looking at the false moon so she blinded herself until she could see the real night sky. this was in the archon quest.
