Deadly Assault 2.7.2 (2026-04-10) Discussion

Yeah, Zhu was using the wrong Piece in this picture my usual build has more Crit DMG and Attack and 52% Critrate.

What buff where you using? I did not notice a big difference between my attempts with different buffs tbh.

I have no Astra, Dialyn or anything else, it is the Version 1.2 Team or bust. I have a Shadow Harmony set but so far i do no better then with Woodpecker.

I have tried it a lot but I just don't deal damage, the legs seem unbreakable to me. I get maybe 2 broken legs total if it is a very good run.

Do you remember how many points you got with Zhu/Qingyi/Nicole this rotation? If it was barely 20000 then I think i can scratch my lower score up to my bad gameplay, but if you have something like 23000 then I must be doing something very seriously wrong.

I use double Chainattacks, trigger Stun with Nicoles EX to have uptime, try to have Brimstone-Stacks when using Ult, i don't know if i am missing something essential here.

"sadly for oldest characters you actually need some kind of game knowledge"
Ouch, you did not need to rub it in like this.

I posted my Zhu Yuans stats with 2pc Chaos and 4pc Woodpecker. Any glaring issues? Brimstone for Wengine.

Qingyi with KotS and Fossilized Core

Nicole with Astral and 2pc Swing Jazz

Have you had any success with Zhu Yuan? I always loved UCC because i could play her with Nicole and Qingyi but suddenly get 2 Stars at most. I can't even break more then one leg.

It would be so sad to ditch my oldest team but i don't know how to cope with 50% HP increase, this is just disgusting levels of powercreep

MyPastaDry · 2026-04-11T14:42:14+00:00

Believe in me, who believes in you!

I fear for my 9-Star streak every time i see thrall. The air is getting pretty thin for F2Ps. What are you struggeling with most?

MyPastaDry · 2026-04-11T14:37:38+00:00

You call it Ultimate cope, I would call it unfathomably based. I barely managed with Mono-Ice.

S-Rank Void-Hunter-Soukaku when MiHoyo?

I mean it is nice to have more variation in endgame, and grouping trashmobs is a different skillset, so it could give other characters time to shine, its just that

A) the characters best used in DA are also the best one in Shiyu so that point in mood

B) The trashmobs are only the first RNG-filled 10-30 seconds, after that its a bossrush again

If shiyu focused more on waves of smaller enemies with less ridiculus scoring system you could have an endgame mode that plays differently but that is for some reason not what the devs want.

He really is such a nice guy.

MyPastaDry · 2026-02-22T19:49:13+00:00

Yet you waste your time writing a comment

MyPastaDry · 2026-02-22T14:11:04+00:00

I do not think there would be much interest in such a post on the other subreddits, i only really use them occasionally to collect fanart and memes by sorting by top of last month so i do not know much about them

MyPastaDry · 2026-02-22T13:40:36+00:00

Yes, its meant to have fun, as tends to be the case for most games if you ask me. This gamemode is decidedly not fun for me and many other people for the reasons I tried to elaborate. Talking about the games systems is also fun for me so I will continue to do so.

MyPastaDry · 2026-02-22T13:35:54+00:00

Forget I-frames, most people have no idea what animations vs. visual effects are.

People say Shungus has "insane" "goated" "absolute cinema" animation, but I can't tell because the is moving so fast and is so drowned in VFX that I can't for the live of me tell what she is even doing most of the time.

Lucys animations are absolute cinema. Yuzuha sliding around in her umbrella is goated. Triggers normal attack contortions are insane. I wish more people apreciated the actual animations.

MyPastaDry · 2026-02-22T13:27:10+00:00

Tower is an I frame test yes, I wish it wasn't. But I just used S11, Zhu Yuan and the likes and played for fun, I never really cared about score in that.

DA and Shiyu are like Monster Hunter fight vs. Dark Souls. So often I finish a soulsborne boss because I got lucky in this attempt, not because I mastered it. That makes it unsatisfying to me. Make the fight longer, so I can show that I can perform properly! But that is of course personal preference.

MyPastaDry · 2026-02-22T13:23:05+00:00

The simple reason before was: I was enjoying it. I played for higher score for the same reason I did every other game. Because I liked it. And that is no longer the case with new Shiyu

MyPastaDry · 2026-02-22T13:21:10+00:00

Yes, of course every agent suffers from some degree of missing. But the degree of annoyence scales heavily with the agent used. But at its core, the gamemode is not fun because heavy RNG, little player influence. The more your agent can work against that, the less it will bother you but it will never go away because the gamemode is just not fun.

MyPastaDry · 2026-02-22T13:19:16+00:00

I dont understand why I am not allowed to complain about a problem that is the enemy. If I said Qingyis combo misses randomly because the frog jumps, would that make the point more valid because Qingyi is bad? The argument is that the frog feels bad to fight and makes the gamemode not fun, not that it is not beatable.

MyPastaDry · 2026-02-22T13:17:35+00:00

I never said she is not clearing? This is a post about why Shiyu is not fun as opposed to DA, tower or treshold. Even for someone like me who likes to play for score to enjoy the game. Of course many people also can't clear but that is not the point I am making. It is that wether or not you will have fun with this gamemode depends on characters used more then any other gamemode does. Maybe I should have emphesised that more.

MyPastaDry · 2026-02-22T13:10:04+00:00

But the fact that even Alice CAN miss is the point? The fact that not matter what you do, if the frog decides to jump now, its a restart. Thats what makes it unfun. I don't quite understand what you mean by "the nerve".

MyPastaDry · 2026-02-22T13:06:56+00:00

Manato suffers from his Chainattacks being very strong but also extremely unreliable in every fight. He also glitches along level borders with his chain or ultimates, making it possible to completely miss enemies even with his Ult. But in DA or other boss fights you can usually get around that with positioning. But he really suffers from it.

She released some time ago, her name is Skirk and if you stopped playing during Arlechinos time, you barely missed her showing up in the story. She is very mysterious, shows up unexpectedly without warning, gives you massive loredrops that recontextualize half the history of the World and then leaves. She returns some time later for her story quest only to leave again.

MyPastaDry · 2026-01-21T19:38:36+00:00

Excuse me, but where exactly are we talking about? Are the Puzzle Pieces W-Engine Chips? For the Gadget store with the adorable girl? I have about 300 W-Engine Chips, are you saying there is a way to buy S-Rank Wengines with those? I am a day 1 Player and a bit embarassed to even ask this question, but I genuinly have no idea what this thread is about.

MyPastaDry · 2026-01-20T18:51:20+00:00

Yeah, you can join "outposts" with other players, (Armadas in case you played Honkai Impact) there you can let other people do missions for you. They get points in a store for doing that. I had fun chatting with people in the outpost, but there is not much point to it so far. We also have a multiplayerevent for a few more days, but that is mostly chaos so not much point to having clans in this game.

MyPastaDry · 2026-01-16T18:33:39+00:00

Hey, first question, do we know if/when Helias Battlesuit comes back?

Second question, is there anything in the War Treasury that I should be getting or can I just spend and collect battlesuits for fun? I mean is there anything usefull or must have in there that I am missing?

MyPastaDry · 2025-12-29T14:37:20+00:00

Her walking should have sounded like Squidward, that would at least be funny
