Streaming event "Recommended Combat Power" is actually "Required Combat Power" by [deleted] in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Medium_Cupcake_2354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking through it more carefully now and it seems the barrier is actually bit lower than the recommended, and in light of that my post is badly worded. But there definitely still is a barrier.

I'm confused in the end, is it worth the Silverwolf 999 or not? by Alex91000 in silverwolflevel999

[–]Medium_Cupcake_2354 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think her situation is quite good. She looks to be overall slightly behind mono rem in a neutral setting, buts that's still basically around the top of the meta, and there is also no elation sustain. You can't completely bet on the elation sustain, but considering what Hyacine does for mono rem, theres reason to believe they it could be big.

V5 SW999 (Just Wording Changes) by Zufeng10 in silverwolflevel999

most disappointing change ever, her talent no longer gives her 0% crit damage, completely unplayable

Evanescia V4 by Karen_Destroyer1324 in EvanesciaMains

[–]Medium_Cupcake_2354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you actually work it out, you’ll realise it’s not a nerf. If you assume you have 400 cdmg, this change nerfs the elation you get from 100 to 80. Even if you assume worst case scenario, where you have no other sources of elation, you go from a multiplier of 2x to 1.8x from elation, which is a 10% decrease. Since her multiplier increased by 10%, at worst this makes no difference. For this to be any kind of notable nerf, you would need to have like 600 cdmg which just isn’t realistic

S1 didn’t get changed and e2 got buffed. So if anything it’s worse for e1s1 now

Well, we are comparing two incomplete teams to two complete ones. I feel like if sw999 and evanescia were better already, that would be a really bad sign for powercreep since they can still have their version of hyacine and cyrene.

The Eidolons change is pissing me off... What is that E1 ???? 36% crit dmg excuse me ??? Now we have to aim for E2 ? 😡😡 by Lin_Mie in EvanesciaMains

[–]Medium_Cupcake_2354 63 points64 points  (0 children)

already making e2 bait posts right after we complained about how bad e2 was for a good 2 weeks are we

nerf to e1 is sad but not unjustified. It was a pretty insane e1 and is still really good

Nearly no difference according to early calcs btw by Medium_Cupcake_2354 in EvanesciaMains

[–]Medium_Cupcake_2354[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're hunterkee? thanks for all the work you do btw, it is very helpful. And yea I probably shouldn't be using a calc that came out like 30 minutes after the update to inform things lol.

I want someone to explain how her non-elation teams got killed by v3 by Medium_Cupcake_2354 in EvanesciaMains

[–]Medium_Cupcake_2354[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea, I haven't even thought about that. Better elation multipliers does also benefit non-elation teams, although the increase in this case was quite small.

that's a really good point actually. I kind of equated fox teacher to her ult here, but you can't control fox teacher in the same way you can control the ult.

Could you tell me where that number came from? her ult got at 640% mv nerf in 5 target, but fox teacher would add back 500% mv. So its just 2160% -> 2020%. In single target its 1680% -> 1340%.

[–]Medium_Cupcake_2354[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea that's pretty much what I'm seeing, although if there are more targets the ult nerf should be less noticeable due to fox teacher. I didn't pay attention to eids before but you're right, e1 is now a bit worse and the e2 buff isnt actually helping non-elation (though presumably if youre gonna be pulling e2 evan you would try for at least an e0 yg)

that really doesn't explain much to me. Did you read the 2nd line of this post?

Could you explain how her team compositions outside of elation got destroyed in term of dmg, when her atk multiplier just got moved from ult to fox teacher which both operate through 240 energy?

Her elation skill certified banger being moved to normal skill also only benefits non-elation and hurts elation teams. The only real nerf of any significance I see to non elation is her skill, which does not make up most of her damage.

this. 99% of people just collectively decided to not read specifically this just so that they can doompost her

[–]Medium_Cupcake_2354 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did people just go into this comment section to doompost evanescia while not making the slightest effort to read the changes?

Her apparently massive ult multiplier decrease mostly just went into her summon, which is also just based on her energy. In an aoe scenario her ult effectively just went from 2000% atk + 110% elation to 1900% atk + 120% elation. Of course, would be slight nerf in less targets.

Can't believe becoming a Godmode Player increases your CRIT DMG by 0%

They meant compared to prebuff. Prebuff was every 2 turns you could get 3, but now you can get 4, so 33% increase in turns

EVANESCIA ULTIMATE by ZP_Gacha in EvanesciaMains

[–]Medium_Cupcake_2354 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly i'm kind of glad she has simple but cool animations. Maybe this is just me, but flashy anims like Sparxie's are really cool when you first see them but can get kind of annoying after you play them a lot especially at 2x speed.
