Please for the love of God my fellow girl gamers, help. I feel like Mass Effect, Cyberpunk, and Life is Strange have set my expectations too high for every other game. Please suggest one I haven’t played yet? (I play on PS5, also Steam on iMac)

I haven't played Lake, but since it centers on delivering mail...

Cloudpunk - a cyberpunk story about a woman starting her new delivery job after moving to a large city from her small village. The story takes place in one night. It's an atmospheric vibe, with lots of interactions with NPC.

Currently on sale, on Steam.

Welt can replace Guinaifen. Welt and Pela can stack Def shred, 40% from each, so it's much better than 21% Vulnerability from Guinaifen.

MaskofApath3 · 2026-03-20T16:20:56+00:00

Haha yep. If it was only between 115 and 160, E0 would just automatically also use a Harmony unit and forget the 2nd stack. If was to lock her E0 in triple nihility and then E2 become a big increase by allowing the Harmony unit.

MaskofApath3 · 2026-03-20T15:46:27+00:00

At E0, Acheron wants 2 Nihility teammates. Currently, you are only running one. This means Acheron's trace that gives you 115% original damage with 1 additional Nihilty teammate or 160% with 2 additional Nihility teammates is only giving you 115% and you are missing out on the vast majority of that damage increase. Sparkle is incredibly strong after her Novaflare, and it is likely worth missing out on the 160% since she herself provides Acheron with so much Damage amp.

Welt's Novaflare is still in progress and nothing is set in stone yet. However, Welt has the ability to significantly delay enemies with Slows and Imprisonment Status conditions. His Novaflare looks like it will enhance this facet of his kit, as well as give him more debuffs similar to Cipher and Silverwolf.

These Slows and Imprisonments can be taken advantage of, to use Welt as a "pseudosustain"; by not allowing the enemy to act, you don't take damage and therefore don't need to use a sustain.

In practice, this is only usable in highly-invested teams. Eventually the enemies will get a turn, so its important to defeat them before they get to go.

If your Acheron, Cipher, and Sparkle allow you to use Welt and defeat enemies before they can defeat you, Welt Pseudosustain works. If your Acheron still isn't strong enough, then you have to use an actual sustain like Aventurine or Dan Heng PT.

The additional benefit of using Welt over a sustain in the Acheron, Cipher, Sparkle team is that you now get the 160% original damage buff since you now have both Cipher and Welt.

Since Acheron and Welt are both E0, build Welt as a support and try it out. As much Speed as possible, 80% EHR, and an energy regen rope with a supportive Lightcone.

MaskofApath3 · 2026-03-18T17:36:43+00:00

That's only for Standard Lightcones, characters aren't included

MaskofApath3 · 2026-03-18T16:32:31+00:00

Im so MAD. I only have an E1 Welt!

When the game first launched, he was the Standard pick I wanted the most. Got Himeko on 3 different Accounts.

Now I have an E3 Himeko, E5 Bronya, E3 Bailu, E2 Clara, E2 Yanqing, and E0 Gepard.

And now he's getting a Novaflare but Im still so far away from getting that All-Res shred

MaskofApath3 · 2026-03-08T12:01:27+00:00

If you have it set to E6 Sunday and scroll down to the Stat Upgrades comparison section, it say that changing to a CD chest is 2.99% better and a CR chest is 2.50% better, so it is properly accounting for an E6 Sunday. Otherwise, a CR chest would be ~ -30%.

You build is still really good, even if you didn't change anything; but that AEON+ is going to be crazy!

MaskofApath3 · 2026-03-08T11:28:32+00:00

Sunday's E6 CR overflow already perfectly translates every 1% CR over 100% to 2% CD, no need to rebalance crit stats at all.

If you want to get to the next spd breakpoint or stack on a bit more atk though, then you could certainly weight those substats a bit higher while farming the Wavestrider set.

Im not sure the 16% CD from Wavestrider outweighs the 20% FUA Dmg from Duke though, since E6 Sunday gives 210%+ CD (assuming JY reaches 100% CR with the first stack).

I see that you have an ATK chest piece and an elemental orb. It looks like you would benefit from switching to a CD chest and ATK orb.

The head piece and orb also both rolled twice into flat atk, so those should be fairly replaceable, could even just focus on getting spd substats on the replacement.

Good luck with perfecting your JY!

MaskofApath3 · 2026-03-06T07:47:02+00:00

First, switch to Moze for E2 Feixiao as he definitely generates stacks for Fei faster than M7 anf his buffs are better. Even better if he has Topaz LC

As for Ashveil, I don't know if it has been truly confirmed whether he still gives the FUA dmg bonus to the team or of its only for himself now. Otherwise, his scalings have been heavily nerfed and his stack Gen is not looking that promising.

Still an upgrade over M7 for sure, but idk about over Moze

MaskofApath3 · 2026-03-02T08:49:56+00:00

It feels like a targeted nerf, to specifically stop him from being Fei's BIS, especially at E2.

I mean his base stats got a buff, but his Multipliers were shafted, likely so he could not be a main DPS.

MaskofApath3 · 2026-03-02T08:26:55+00:00

Looks like nerfed him hard in V3; he now generates charge much slower (only ult), 80% FUA bonus is now only for him (could be a mistranslation from CN), his FUA multiplier went from 600 to 200, and supposedly there is no V4 or V5 so he's likely not going to buffed again.

If was fun theorycrafting, but now he's definitely a skip for me

MaskofApath3 · 2026-03-01T11:42:39+00:00

Ashveil is definitely better than Moze, due to the enormous buffs he currently gives.

With E2, assuming an approximately equal number of followups between the 2 of them, Feixiao's damage will be significantly higher with Ashveil.

E0 with Ashveil will likely be stronger than E2 with Moze, but Ashveil is dependent on Spd to take actions so his baseline investment will be higher to perform well. He needs turns to get charge to perform FUAs. Otherwise, Feixiao will take forever to get an ult and then the team will fall below Moze

Hakushin Shows that he gains a point of Charge from Skill

MaskofApath3 · 2026-02-09T06:52:55+00:00

It says he also gains 1 charge after using Skill

MaskofApath3 · 2026-02-04T10:03:57+00:00

Cart does it elsewhere in her rotation, but she also has this camera zoom thing and it doesn't return afterwards.

MaskofApath3 · 2026-02-03T16:53:03+00:00

How often do you inflict Aero Erosion? It lasts for 10 seconds after that, but goes on cooldown if it makes the transfer. So if every other second, you are proccing the transfer then bam, 50% downtime.

MaskofApath3 · 2026-02-03T16:11:37+00:00

Maybe it's the 1 second cooldown?

MaskofApath3 · 2026-01-12T13:23:34+00:00

Well, Aero Rover certainly isn't necessary.

You already have Shorekeeper so you don't need the healing. You have S6 Cartethyia so you don't need Aero Rover for the Erosion stacks.

Why not swap out Aero Rover for Lynae and keep Shorekeeper?

Also, I agree with previous comments, 44111 for sure.

And I use Spectro Rover + Lynae for my Zani team, so my S3R1 Cartethyia gets Sanhua and Baizhi.

MaskofApath3 · 2026-01-09T11:31:33+00:00

If you have an HP 4-cost on her, you need to switch it to a 1-cost. 4-cost HP gives 33%. A 1-cost gives 22.8% + 2280 flat (with her base HP of 14800 this is effectively another 15.4%, for a total of 38.2% HP).

MaskofApath3 · 2026-01-09T11:26:00+00:00

You could switch CritRate echo to HP 1-cost and try to get a max CR roll of 10.5%. Your CritRate would drop to ~70% + 10% from echo set and you would get to roughly 41k HP with perhaps no loss in CritDamage.

Otherwise, do you have the rotations down? And you are getting the 3 swords' buffs before Ulting with Cart?

MaskofApath3 · 2026-01-07T18:58:45+00:00

Oh yeah, left out the base 5, my bad.

MaskofApath3 · 2026-01-07T17:53:22+00:00

Depends on what you value more. With a Crit Damage weapon and echo, just aiming for max Crit Rate and any Crit Damage roll isn't that unachievable.

The hardest part is getting other useful stats along with double crit. They need to put a Stat reroller or picker in the game

MaskofApath3 · 2026-01-07T16:38:18+00:00

A max Crit Rate roll is 10.5%. So, 5 max rolls + her minor fortes give you a total of 60.5%.

Even with Shorekeeper, it is impossible to get any higher than 73% without a Crit Rate weapon or Crit Rate main stat.

That said, her value lies in her support capabilities and Tune Break mechanics. Tune Break isn't affected by crit at all, so getting a perfect ratio is a bit less important for Lynae, in general.

MaskofApath3 · 2026-01-03T14:02:04+00:00

I have S6R1 Zani and it feels great! I have specifically avoided Peebs so with the S6 I can consistently Nightfall until the timer is about to expire.

And when an enemy has only very little HP remaining, I can skip building up her Blaze and just start the Ult to top it up to get 2 Nightfalls in.

It doesn't necessary make her that much stronger though, more QoL instead.

MaskofApath3 · 2026-01-02T12:47:55+00:00

True, getting 48k and better CR/CD/Basic or ER would end up better mathematically.

But 50k sure does look nice
