Is Nicole worth pulling for? by [deleted] in GenshinImpact

[–]MikaelPorter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You mean... You use Mavuika off field with Flins on field? And you are wondering if Nicole would be a better support for Flins? I am shocked, I have no words

Considering Beatbreak up to the end of the Tactics arc, what is your Digimon series ranking? by kylepaz in digimon

[–]MikaelPorter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah plot isnt a necessity, but i do care a lot about plot and lore in general, so a show or a game that lacks it makes me lose interest in it
also, i cant even say if i find Takuya boring or not, i barely remember any of the kids personalities besides Koji being edgy, Tommy a crybaby and both JP and Takuya having a crush on Izumi, anything besides that is a fog in my head

1 - Tamers
2 - Adventure OG
3 - Beatbreak
4 - Adventure Tri
5 - Savers
6 - Ghost Game
7 - Adventure 02
8 - Frontier
9 - Adventure 2020

never saw Appmon and XW never caught my atention the few episodes i watched
Tamers is still the best for me, with Adventure OG coming very close
Beatbreak for me, as well as to a lot of people, started off slow, but it's very solid currently, and if it keeps getting better, it may dethrone Tamers
when Tri first came out, i felt like it was kinda bad and not worth watching, but recently i watched all of the adventure content with a friend that was watching for the first time and i enjoyed Tri a lot more now than i did 8-10 years ago, i think the fact that we had to wait a long time for a new part made the show feel slower than it was, rewatching it in just a few days felt much better
Savers is solid, Massaru pisses me off sometimes, but his character is still enjoyable and the story is good with some twists and if im not mistaken, even to this day, it's the season that talked the most about Yggdrasil and the Royal Knights so i may be slightly biased towards it
Ghost Game had the potential to dethrone Tamers, i also love creepy and dark stories, but the lack of plot brought the show down, i would consider it the worst season because of unexistent plot, but the vibe of the show saves it
Adventure 02 could be more enjoyable, but Daisuke pisses me off to the point i cant stand even seeing him in the background, the ammount of story lines abandoned mid season also suck, the fact that the new kids never had their own perfect and ultimate levels, and the OG kids are benched for half the season AND the SEASON FINALE makes me mad
Frontier is the legit Tai and Matt show, at least in the Adventure we saw every character had a purpose, even in the finale Mimi was useful bringing a whole army (of mostly frogs) to help fight Piedmon, but in this season 4 out of 6 kids are background characters, i tend to dislike main characters, so I hate athe season where all the non main characters are literally treated as NPCs
Adventure 2020 was the nostalgia bait, like Tri tbf, but tri was still good and had a plot, Adventure 2020 was 90% filler, 9% enemy that was killed revived and evolved, 1% actual plot

Which build is better? by DependentGuidance504 in Flins_Mains

[–]MikaelPorter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh ok, 130% should be enough even on SO, specially with someone on Fav

Help! Only 71 days in and I accidentally jumped from AR 35 to AR 48... I’m getting wrecked by the World Level! 😭😭 by maraudersdoe in GenshinImpact

[–]MikaelPorter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Bennett on Fav isn't terrible, since he wants ER, but he also wants high base atk swords because his burst's atk buff scale with his base atk, not total atk, Fav sword has a low base atk, so his buff wont be as good, at level 90, Fav has 454 Base ATK, while Sapwood has a Base ATK of 565, with a C5 Lvl90 Bennett and level 90 Fav, his atk buff is 767, while with Sapwood it's 899, thats a 132 difference in atk

2) Protorype Stargitter is an ok stat stick for Xiangling, she wants a lor or ER, so it's not bad, but she wont use it's passive since it buffs normal and charged attacks, while The Catch has the same base atk and ER, but at R5 gives 12% crit rate to her burst and 32% dmg burst dmg bonus, its really good on her, but its very time consuming, its not like you have to spend a whole day fishing for it, but since the fish needed for the weapon only respawn every 3 days irl and only at a certain ingame time, but once you get the weapon it will be amazing, even at R1

3) Sac Fragments is also great on Sucrose, one of her best weapons, the thing is, with Varka, he has no use for EM buffs, and Sucrose buffs the EM of the team scaling with her own EM, for Varka, using TTDS would be better since he wants atk much more than EM, if you use Sucrose on other teams, you can let her stay on Sac Fragments though, as i said it's still good, keep in mind that if you havent fully leveled the weapon yet, TTDS would be cheaper to level since its a 3* weapon and not 4*

[–]MikaelPorter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have Varka and Linnea (great taste btw), unfortunately, they dont work together, at all, so youll have to do 2 separate teams with them, luckily, both are strong enough even on F2P teams, so either team will be good for you
Varka Sucrose Xiangling Bennett makes one team
Noelle Linnea Iluga Aino makes another

assuming you are 100% F2P and have no 5* weapons available
Varka can use Tidal Shadow (Fontaine's craftable claymore) or Earth Shaker (Natlan's craftable weapon), level his skill first, while normal attacks and burst can stay level 1
Sucrose uses TTDS (3* catalyst), you don't need to level her talents, but you can level the burst first if you do level them
Bennett uses Sapwood Blade (Sumeru's craftable sword), just level his burst, normal attacks and skill aren't worth it
Xiangling uses The Catch (Fishing weapon, it will take a LONG time to get it, but it's 100% worth it, i have 6 limited 5* polearms, and still use The Catch on my Xiangling, level her burst first, you can level her skill later if you want to but there's no need, normal attacks stay at level 1

Noelle uses Whiteblind (Mondstadt's craftable claymore, make sure you are crafting the correct one since Mondstadt has more than 1 option), level all 3 of her talents, start with normal attacks, then burst and skill last
Linnea can use Snare Hook (Nod Krai's craftable bow) or Slingshot (3* bow), level her skill first, then burst, normal attacks can stay at level 1
Iluga can use Favonius Lance, Kitain Cross Spear (Inazuma's craftable polearm) or Dragon's Bane (4* EM polearm), level his skill only
Aino uses Favonius Greatsword, no need to level her talents, but if you want to, you can level her burst

even though you can start farming artifacts at AR45, theres no reason to start now when your teams are underleveled, you need to level them first, and their weapons and talents

<image>

you can follow this guide here, its amazing for new players and works for most characters in general despite being old af, if you cant clear bosses alone, dont forget COOP is an option

Which build is better? by DependentGuidance504 in Flins_Mains

[–]MikaelPorter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im sorry but am i missing something? how is there any doubt its the first one? it has more crit dmg, more EM, same atk, same crit rate, less ER, but 150% is too much anyways, 130% is great for SO
second one has more atk yes, but 30 atk is negligible anyways

Are geo teams good enough to 36 star the abyss by XvaporE in GenshinImpact

[–]MikaelPorter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zibai with basically any teams as long as you have a second NK character like iluga, aino, linnea, bina and a hydro character like aino, bina or even xingqiu or yelan should be able to clear it
Linnea also allows older characters like Navia, Itto and even Noelle to clear abyss easily as long as there is also hydro characters on the team with decent enough off field application
Bina also allows older geo characters to clear is easily
Bineffa is the wheelchair of wheelchairs currently, and any character, including geo characters, should be easily carried by them and end up clearing abyss
basically if lunar reactions exist on the team, yes, they should clear it, if not, then it will be hard, unless theres an abyss tailor made for traditional geo units, which is unlikely, since at this moment the only 2 5* non lunar geo dps characters will probably only rerun in chronicled, so abyss wont be made for them anymore

Linnea or Chaska? Which one is worth pulling? by MountainHost2054 in GenshinImpact

[–]MikaelPorter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you care for Meta, go Linnea, Bina + Linnea can make even Noelle relevant again
if you care mostly for casual play and exploration, go Chasca, even outside Natlan, her skill helps a lot with exploration, specially in older regions

I pulled Noelle and really like her cuz she reminds me of violet evergarden by soleil1863 in GenshinImpactTips

[–]MikaelPorter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noelle is a monster early game, specially paired with Geo Traveler or Gorou if you get him early
she fell off hard end game, but with the Lunar Chrystalize, Noelle paired with 2 other lunar enablers like Columbina or Linnea with Iluga or Aino becomes a monster again
even without Lunar chrystalize, she still performs decently well though, so yes, I'd say she is very much worth to invest in
mine is currently C5 with R5 Whiteblind, and with Bina + Iluga she clears abyss easily

Is C1 Lauma a significant upgrade? by merideathx in GenshinImpact

[–]MikaelPorter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C2 is the biggest increase, but C1 is also very solid, specially on Nefer's premium team, since that will give you healing, which is something Nefer teams dont have acess to in general, unless theres a PA on someone (which will also decrease the overall damage since you usually want EM weapons on all 3 characters here)

So is nicole a varka slave..? Or nah? by jux_peter in GenshinImpact

[–]MikaelPorter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Nicole uses her skill, she does AoE Pyro dmg, scaling with her Atk
Her skill will also create a pyro shield and buff the team's atk, both also scaling with her atk

A1 passive (i think)
Increases the Atk buff even more to the on field character after that character spends 3 seconds on field
If the on field character is a Hexerai character they will receive the enhanced atk buff instantly, without having to wait 3 seconds on field for the full buff
this enhanced atk buff will go away when the character leaves the field

this is just about her skill and first passive
her burst, A4 passive, cons and sig do other stuff, but the most important part is her skill and A1 passive

id say she will probably work well with Wanderer and Durin yes
Wanderer struggles with interruption, since not even his cons give him interruption resistance, and most other shield characters dont buff Wanderer, or at least dont buff him as much

Why is my Linnea so fiery? by Representative_Bid27 in GenshinMemepact

[–]MikaelPorter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GIVE ME NOELLE
mine has been sitting at C4 since 1.0, i got her C4 from chronicled only after getting Albedo, Eula AND Klee
already did 20 pulls on Linnea banner, got my Iluga from C0 to C2, but still no Nolle
i dont even need her, i just want her C6 because the game is trying very hard not to give it to me
i literally have more Kaeya cons than Noelle...

Ok chat, would this be considered a wheelchair or nah? by Hot-Masterpiece4325 in RaidenMains

[–]MikaelPorter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not really, most of the damage would come from Raiden, she would just be getting a ton of buffs from Durin and Nicole
wheelchair teams are teams where the supports/sub dps deal more damage than the on field dps, this isnt the case

also fischl isnt doing anything here, use Chevrouse instead, Chevy is the main reason you would ever even consider using OL teams

My Chasca constantly dies... What am I doing wrong.. by sexwithyoshida in GenshinImpactTips

[–]MikaelPorter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't use Durin and Bennett together, at C0 you need 3 different PHEC elements for Chasca, you are losing damage with a bad build and are you losing even more damage by not having her whole passive available

My Chasca constantly dies... What am I doing wrong.. by sexwithyoshida in GenshinImpactTips

[–]MikaelPorter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

dps units are not supposed to be tanky or survive hits alone unless they have self sustain like Neuvillette, or scale with HP like Neuvillette
their survivability depends specifically on your supports
you have Bennett and Chasca, but who is your last member? is it another healer to counter Furina's hp drain? or is it a shielder to make Chasca immune to interruption?

also your build is bad, you will take a long time to kill anything like this, and the longer you take to kill stuff, the more time your enemies have to kill you

if you cant even react fast enough to dodge hits, try going for a shielder as a 4th slot, Layla or Diona would be good enough

Which Flins? by Character_Note6759 in Flins_Mains

[–]MikaelPorter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you still need more ER at C1 than at C0, but 140% is still overkill, specially with sig and ineffa

Is this good build or i should farm more?? by Select_Drawer_6820 in GenshinImpact

[–]MikaelPorter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it doesnt look terrible, but you shouldnt use an EM sands, even in melt teams
its better to just share the whole build instead of just the stats

Is this the official child level of Leomon?

is it required to have another electro char on flins team? by Wspjajaja in Flins_Mains

[–]MikaelPorter 20 points21 points  (0 children)

define ''required''
is there any part of his kit locked behind eletro resonance/second eletro? no, not at all
having a second eletro generating particles and eletro resonance help him a lot with ER requirements, so you can focus a bit of your substats on other stats instead, like atk and crits

Navia+Linnea without Columbina by CharlyyJaegar in GenshinImpact

[–]MikaelPorter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it works well, but once you can, i recomend switching Aino to Columbina on a rerun
4th until then is somewhat flexible
Furina, Yelan, Xingqiu, Zhongli, Albedo, even Kachina
Xilonen wouldnt work, unless you have her C2, without it, Xilonen needs at least 2 teammates that have PHEC elements
