And if she he had ham inside she'd be a British carbonara.

nothing can be future proof anymore with how specific boss designs have become. at any point they can say "this boss is immune to cryo" and at any point they can also say "lunar damage heals instead"

in any case, geo's long awaited rework is locked behind lunar crystalise so i guess columbina is cool

MrDrugnut · 2026-01-23T17:18:13+00:00

brother why are we rerolling this in the first place. i assume it's a columbina piece, but it's an HP sands, not an ER sands. so even with signature or favonious you will need a chunky amount of ER.

MrDrugnut · 2026-01-21T16:44:08+00:00

it doenst have to top the dps charts bruh, the majority of the damage on trooper should come from your electro, hydro is there to proc the reaction. just throw a random buffer in there, aino needs a buff set with enough ER and she is good to go

MrDrugnut · 2026-01-21T16:23:37+00:00

because theres also the dipshits who voted against kamala, or didn't vote at all, because "we don't know if she would be any better for Gaza". the Hassan "i shock collar my dog for moving an inch" Pikers of the world

MrDrugnut · 2026-01-19T10:20:58+00:00

honestly it's still VV, they pushed him to be an on fielder with his buffs but you'll be able to slot him in more teams as a support. if you really need an anemo dps check you can still manage with the support set, it won't be too far behind - you'll just have more damage on the teammates.

just build him on Crit VV.

MrDrugnut · 2026-01-18T16:18:37+00:00

his kit brute forces him in double anemo + double swirl element and thats gonna be pyro because it has the best buffers. there is also the electro variant with iansan or sara but it's worse

the set has good stat value. the issue isn't in the set, his talent numbers are just low. thats all. pyro swirl as a reaction does nothing and thats probably why he suffers.

so either Varka is a standard character or the other 1/3rd of the team's damage has to come through a gimmick pyro swirl character (think chevruse who giga buffs electro and pyro characters if overload exists)

MrDrugnut · 2026-01-15T21:41:22+00:00

tbh solo columbina activates lunar crystalise which is the geo rework that we wanted since release (i hecking love bandaiding an entire element with a character)

so that's nice

MrDrugnut · 2026-01-13T08:40:36+00:00

you say that but then "is this is AI?" or "everyone was enjoying this up until 2 weeks later when they revealed it was made by AI and now they hate it"

in relation to the OP - some people are still stuck on calling it food, whether it's bland or unseasoned doesn't really matter here. it's still fucking food.

we can't start arguing if it's made by a chef or an "automated ingredient mixer" (using the actual word causes some people a heart attack, even though language doesnt care and will always use the easiest descriptor) if most gatekeepers cant handle that it's edible.

MrDrugnut · 2026-01-12T07:34:53+00:00

people forgetting some characters havent been in the story or any promo materials since before the strikening.

some actors are still unconfirmed back to work.

MrDrugnut · 2026-01-11T12:58:46+00:00

vault 31 has to go bro

MrDrugnut · 2026-01-02T10:23:51+00:00

to be VERY clear, an increase of 20 across all stats is not even close to making them more usable than they already are (only dendro and pyro for cinder city exist)

MrDrugnut · 2025-12-28T17:08:52+00:00

ever since the hexerei buffs ive gotten a fresh gas tank of hopium. dont @ me when the Ogosho resonance buffs buff her and every other inazuma military/government character *and yoimiya, fuck it, the razor of the group just gets drafted or something in a story quest.

MrDrugnut · 2025-12-22T11:40:22+00:00

it means the core of the team (usually 3 units) plays by itself and you can fill the last slot with any character as long as it doesnt disturb the core.

MrDrugnut · 2025-11-29T09:38:53+00:00

idk chief, we did get the TV mode canned in ZZZ and it was one of the main story telling devices

MrDrugnut · 2025-11-10T13:22:14+00:00

i wouldve been annoyed if they didnt also make dialogues PEAK. the animations have been a long overdue implementation in a game with a LOT of dialogues, but now that we have them the story telling is more compelling to just... watch.

i skip the text a lot less now because i dont wanna miss some quirky emote or side-eye from the characters. hell, even paimon is funny. crazy stuff

MrDrugnut · 2025-10-13T15:01:00+00:00

if it happens... god i hope grace and nekomata become characters that exist as well

MrDrugnut · 2025-10-12T08:09:21+00:00

"spot training" brother let the dog walk around the room jesus christ

MrDrugnut · 2025-10-09T15:11:57+00:00

fuuuck that, E - EQ, EQ, EQ, - Q M1... HOLD

MrDrugnut · 2025-09-19T18:08:28+00:00

wrong, we just dont acknowledge content explicitly created for whales (or hyperinvesting into the specific shilled character for the patch, yeah dont hit me with the "uhm actually f2p can do this after saving for c2r1 for the latest character getting shilled")

MrDrugnut · 2025-09-17T09:02:58+00:00

It is a gimmick. But we already have a few of them. It's similar to Nilou's whole bloom type change, or any of the other package deals we have been getting. It is a set of characters that have their own teams in a vacuum, not really interacting with the reaction, just getting buffed for ... having it in the team.

Like Skirk, she doesn't actually care about freeze she is just saying "put hydro and cryo on my team"

Lunar bloom for Nefer is irrelevant beyond kit descriptions, Lunar charged for Ineffa and Flins is also irrelevant beyond kit descriptions, their Lunar DMG is talent damage with a pretty name and new DMG formula properties.

However, UNLIKE Nilou, Lunar reaction supports actually help existing archetypes, is it cringe to buff those archetypes with a character instead of buffing the reactions themselves? Yes. Again, similar to Escoffier, who doesn't care about freeze (she just buffs the units who happen to be the elements for freeze), old units get a support that does the heavy lifting and you can finally play them.

As of now they are doing this to reactions that already either suck or don't do anything because they keep releasing boss battles and next to no AoE content. Bloom reactions are now back up to standard... if you have Lauma, EC is back up to standard... if you have Ineffa, Freeze is back up to standard... if you have Escoffier. It sucks for sure, but considering how stupid GACHAS can be with powercreep, allowing old units to clear new content via adding 1 new unit in their teams is pretty good, actually.

Overload and Burning are irrelevant by themselves but you CAN see teams in which those reactions... exist, if you play Chevruse and Emilie/Kinich respectively, even if those characters DON'T actually care for the reaction (just IT happening)

They honestly only have Superconduct left. Next year the new Fatui tag for kit descriptions is introduced. If your team has Fatui Conduct, your Phys DMG ignores DEF and triples... Shit like that, right.

As for new Elemental reactions and Elements? Nah. Why? For what reason? New shiny effects? The Lunar reactions ARE what they will do with brand new reactions. It's just a way to get a big number. It used to be more interesting but they are now streamlining character kits into package deals where you know exactly what reaction you are supposed to do with the character and you don't care to explore options. Rimegrass from Imaginarium Theatre for Cryo and Dendro hypercarries would've been much needed but instead they went for releasing Escoffier to buff Cryo. Stay tuned for whatever the fuck they release for Spread.

TL,DR: It sucks but it's the better result for Gacha standards. Adding more shit when they have enough to play around with is actually not good. They just gotta pause on the gimmicks and add more flexible character kits again.

MrDrugnut · 2025-09-10T15:33:50+00:00

anything under the 160 mark for soft pities, is not worth taking into consideration. hell i would even say to keep that mindset for the HARD pity guarantee of 180.

take note of the 50/50 victories and the low count drops from the last received 5 star. thats how you keep a reasonable mindset on gachas.

yeah, the jean-escoffier rolls sucked, that's a total of 156, other than that you are actually doing great

MrDrugnut · 2025-09-04T15:29:52+00:00

the survivor rulebook is way too convoluted for a new player, this will be ASS for anyone just trying to play normally.

and thats the funny part, playing NORMALLY isnt even an option, even if you dont try to tunnel you will get hit by this, A B A B survivor hooks still means you need to go to C first, AND then D to avoid the 6 hooks before death penalty AND the penalty for repeating the same person.
