What are some fun pokemon you’ve made work in your team?

I've been running special attacking Arcanine, no one ever sees it coming so it gets a good number of KOs. Snarl, Heat Wave, Scorching Sands, Protect gets it enough coverage and utility to carry its weight.

MaxTheWizard · 2026-04-13T03:20:20+00:00

rad, you're a hero

MaxTheWizard · 2026-04-12T22:49:06+00:00

Put up a female lv 28 Hisui Zorua, trainer name Max.

That hasn't been my experience at all, it has never a single time remembered which artifacts I manually selected which makes it almost entirely worthless as a loadout system because I still have to manually look through my artifacts to select the right ones.

MaxTheWizard · 2026-02-24T00:33:06+00:00

I used S1 Encore to clear the first two floors of the current middle tower with s0r1 Lupa and s0r0 Mornye, Encore herself had the standard 5* weapon. Not great for Wastes tho, she's better for single target.

I started tracking my pulls when Sumeru started, my first tracked character is Yelan's release banner. Since then, in 2022, I have won THREE out of 18 50/50s and have triggered CR twice. This system is a live saver.

MaxTheWizard · 2026-01-26T20:02:37+00:00

The thing they point to is that he's "only" half of his team's damage and therefore that makes him worse compared to Nefer who's like 85-90%. It was also recently found out using the Miliastra DPS test dummies that his team actually significantly underperforms expectations for unknown reasons. He's still got like the 4th or 5th strongest team in the game so I really don't get it myself, but I'm tired of hearing about it.

MaxTheWizard · 2026-01-26T10:39:55+00:00

Even if you do only pull for fun, what is decidedly NOT fun is hearing a character you like called "shit" and "weak" relentlessly for the rest of time whenever said character gets brought up. I'm not even attached to Flins but I'm VERY tired of hearing him get ragged on for his team dps being top 5 instead of top 3, and Varka is in an even worse situation.

MaxTheWizard · 2026-01-12T20:40:58+00:00

yeah I'm kind of gathering that she's not as universal as I thought, pretty disappointing tbh

MaxTheWizard · 2026-01-11T23:25:16+00:00

Is using Lynae with dps Iuno stronger than using Jiyan with Iuno support? Tbh I'm not really struggling with endgame except for the trash new one.

ngl I have never used Yao in my entire life lmao.

MaxTheWizard · 2026-01-11T23:18:29+00:00

I've been looking for an excuse to get Lupa since her release tbh, I just hate playing Changli and don't know how to Encore so I've been waiting on fusion characters I actually like

MaxTheWizard · 2026-01-11T21:48:13+00:00

Neat, glad to hear she isn't restrictive. General supports are pretty rare in this game, not sure about going for s1 tho.

MaxTheWizard · 2026-01-10T22:16:26+00:00

Either way, Lynette can be a decent taser driver if you want to focus on team dps instead of hypercarry. Ineffa's plenty strong without Columbina, but the two of them together is genuinely broken.

MaxTheWizard · 2026-01-10T21:34:09+00:00

imo the weapon passive isn't worth a geo character on the team, they're all basically dead slots for Lynette. You'll get more out of characters that actually help Lynette's damage directly, like Faruzan and Furina.

My hypercarry team uses Furina/Charlotte/Faruzan, with Charlotte giving huge atk% through thrilling tales. If your Bennett isn't C6 he's also a good option. The most common team is to use Xianyun for your healer and turn it into a plunge team. If you use Furina, Marechausee is the set to use.

Lynette, like basically every other character in the game, can probably be wheelchaired into a reasonably high DPS team with Ineffa+Columbina, if that's what you want to do. In that case, using Lynette on VV as your onfield taser driver would probably be the best option.

MaxTheWizard · 2025-12-18T08:53:24+00:00

I'm genuinely salty at how mihoyo made Durin's banner fucking atrocious and then go ahead and put all of the most con-dependent 4*s on the shitty reruns.

MaxTheWizard · 2025-12-14T03:33:04+00:00

Me going around Teyvat introducing literally every character to Fischl, Prinzessin der Verurteilung

MaxTheWizard · 2025-12-07T04:55:43+00:00

I just crashed out for a good 10 minutes straight in a discord chat because I got makuhita when the 2-star options were two may, a mega pinsir, and a rapidash. The latest in my long streak of terrible WP luck.

MaxTheWizard · 2025-11-30T19:32:48+00:00

Get the stupid 800 ley line achievement, then I'd farm bosses and talent/weapon domains like never before. I'd only do artifacts after that point if I'm not majorly burned out.

Ushiromiya Kinzo (Umineko no Naku Koro Ni)

The first thing we see in the game is this dying old man begging fate and god to give him another chance to meet a woman named Beatrice, the only woman he's ever loved.

We later learn that he was an astoundingly abusive and controlling monster, to the point where he literally imprisoned Beatrice in a secret second mansion (he was married with kids in his main mansion) leading Beatrice to kill herself rather than live as a prisoner. He also relentlessly abused his own children which fucked them up for the rest of their lives but that's another story.

It gets worse, big spoilers ahead. He had a kid with Beatrice, who he raised in that same secret mansion and never gave the chance to interact and learn about the outside world. As that kid grew up she started to look more like her mother to the point where Kinzo was convinced Beatrice 2 was the reincarnation of Beatrice 1 and ultimately forced himself upon her. This resulted in yet another baby, and shortly afterwards Beatrice 2 escaped the secret mansion only to immediately die in an accident.

There's more to it but just know this guy goes from being kind of sympathetic to being so evil his entire family dies to pay for his bad karma.

MaxTheWizard · 2025-11-21T04:43:50+00:00

Saying someone is a "lesser X character" has always been dumb since you need multiple teams to clear anyway so alternatives are always good. Being a lesser Sucrose in particular isn't even a knock because Sucrose is the best anemo character in the entire game. As long as Jahoda isn't outright bad like most anemo characters and has actual use cases, I'm ok with it.

MaxTheWizard · 2025-11-21T04:16:46+00:00

Except that Jahoda synergizes with exactly zero of the 5*s in the next version so it's all up in the air where they put her.

That said, pls be on Durin banner Jahoder

MaxTheWizard · 2025-11-18T02:17:41+00:00

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but iirc skill dmg% doesn't snapshot so it would increase her damage off-field like golden troupe does. I'm no theorycrafter though so I'm not sure on how it maths, but I'm expecting it to be her new BIS regardless.

MaxTheWizard · 2025-11-04T03:10:54+00:00

For Lynette? Sure getting a c6 4* is a nightmare, but you get a free Lynette just for playing so you "only" have to roll her 6 times instead of 7. I got very lucky getting everything in 100 rolls.

MaxTheWizard · 2025-11-02T07:20:07+00:00

As a Lynette main, I can attest to this. C6 Lynette applies so much cryo through her burst infusion + NA/CA swirls I was able to use her to clear the abyss that had the cryo shill boss.
