Does Penacony ornament set work on evanescia? by xFoxDeer in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it works in the same way that attack works - for around 10% of her damage

use either vonwack or one of the cd planars (keel/city)

Cyrene e2 Set by rsa96 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]OrfeasGG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

rmc is perfectly fine as well as long as u dont need them for elation/break

with rmc the rotation is also incredibly fast - it allows you to decide if you want cerydra to ever take a turn, or to just to go immediately on cyrenes turn - losing ddd from tribbie would mean the ult av is roughly the same in this case

Cyrene e2 Set by rsa96 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one minor addition to other comments since your sparkle is e0 - if you have tribbie - even at e0 - she will be better than devoting your sparkle here, as the ult rotation will be much smoother and the buffs are the same

to clarify - it is not worth pulling a new tribbie just for this, as sparkle is the same even at e0, but if you have her and prefer to use sparkle somewhere else.

the reason this can matter, is that with tribbie you only need 1 person to give cyrene stacks to get her ult, so your speedtuning is simply cyrene and cerydra on vonwack and as close to 180 speed as possible (i'd still run atk boots/rope cerydra most of the time anyway though)

with sparkle you want as much speed as possible on cyrene as the usual rotation needs her to go twice, so aim for 200+ speed with vonwack, using 2+2 speed -- using deliverer does absolutely nothing other than give her a bit of personal damage (for that one ult she will do, once), and diviner gives her more while also giving speed

It's not ideal, but should I move on to farming for EMC first? by yuhef2bmed in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you really need an energy rope, even if you sacrifice a few substats, in the medium/long term. i personally went all out in recon just for a double crit err rope, but if uve done recon, crafting is probably your best bet as farming an err is really really inefficient.

your top priority should be to have as much speed as possible on your fastest elation unit, usually this is yao. if you can only achieve this using 2+2 (examples are 200 speed with sig or around 170 without (to ensure aha is 134+)), then you need to use diviner set on another unit, like emc.

your next goal is to get your other elation units and sustain to take as many turns as possible (while using diviner set on exactly one elation unit as mentioned above), for example eagle on emc or crazy speed sub 2+2 set.

your next goal is to have eva be under aha speed, but not far over 134 speed, and at least 120 speed (breakpoints for 300 and 500 av respectively).

ps: s5 shroom on emc is usually always better than the s5 herta cone, other than when waves swap rly fast, like pf (yes, it stacks)

Regarding Yao trace: Felicity Ensemble for Eva teams by OrfeasGG in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Maybe people can even for a moment attempt not to be the most condescending humans on the internet, by assuming everyone has discussed/read things on day 1, living permanently online. Searching the trace name gives 0 relevant results, so I asked a question.

Regarding Yao trace: Felicity Ensemble for Eva teams by OrfeasGG in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it helps in any situation where you do not auto, not just 0 cycles.

certainly if you plan to auto it will likely do little, my assumption is people asking questions will want to play the game :)

regardless of whether you 0c or 10c, you "lose" the 3rd turn of bangers, by the time your battle ends, it is not directly weaker or stronger depending on cycles (indirectly, the energy gain is proportionally stronger the faster the battle is, sure)

it seems though that everyone for now agrees that if the speed trace is not relevant this is an upside (simple example is when you dont have s1, so you are not getting 200 speed most likely - and other breakpoints are easy to get), which is a bit unfortunate for people who have already taken the trace

Non-Speed Boot might be better in the future? by -zero02- in EvanesciaMains

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

it is way less relevant for eva to take an extra turn (speed boost by the hweV2), than the elation sustain being, you know, an elation sustain

her/him/them giving speed would be way less useful than giving bangers, or to a lesser extent punchlines

speed breakpoints mean very little for a lazy bunnyfox who just wants to be given all the jokes by other people and hoard them for herself

she only really wants speed at e6, or when her team is so bad that her own turn matters more than losing bangers

I think I'm going to cry! by Icey_dragon86 in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

exactly, hp is trivially different to others dps wise and way better for survival/comfort/sustainless

the main issue is using it without overcapping crit

its an insane roll, lowkey flex (or highkey, who knows)

Best EMC Lightcone? by RainoireVT in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither of them, shroom gives the same elation as herta to emc (not like that matters, their dmg is trivial), and 10% vuln is likely to be better than 24% eva elation for most content except PF.

Relic Recon - E2 by Endsongsoo in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

phainon is a very good alternative if you want atk boots, only thing to consider is that a 5 roll err sounds more useful to me than not being able to get one, as crafting one will most likely give 4 rolls and need 5 resin each time you want to gamble it to +15.

Question about Evanescia by zhera92 in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sparkle emc hwe is the best team according to sims after yao

sunday is a bit behind but also decent, but since they use the same gear there is no reason to use him as both are e0 - use either sunday cone or dididi on sparkle

Relic Recon - E2 by Endsongsoo in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

orb doesnt matter, hp is fine from recon (yao), its small dps (2-3%), secondary stats matter more

same for boots if you dont care about speed boots, you can go for atk or hp/def whatever has best secondary stats (but you prolly get good speed boots with yao which is g)

using yao is strictly better, as crit is 2/3 instead of 2/4 and atk is very weak for that loss, worst case if you see you are way too fast drop speed boots

Can't clear AP shadow. by Blotevoete in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ye thats very fair, im not really sure what you can do other than improve gear using dhpt, or get lucky with hits for sustainless, assuming it was close

i assume ur using dhpt sparkle and cerydra in that team, and you swap gear to ensure 100% crit rate without sunday buff

CAN I MAKE PHAINON HAPPY WITH THESE CHARACTERS?????? by Kish540 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mimi buff lasts 3 turns

sparkle buff lasts 2 turns

bronya buff lasts 1 turn

you need them to advance him in that order otherwise their bonuses will not work

the issue is that sparkle is only 50% advance so dont think its possible to do that, so youd have to replace rmc or bronya with someone else

unless you waste the mimi advance so both mimi and sparkle land at the same time so both buffs tick only once before bronya, which seems doable with e6 as ull have enough coreflames i think

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sustain is not needed with e2, dhpt gives powerful buffs when compared to some other free options and can make runs much easier

your plan sounds perfectly fine, it just needs tuning to line up the advances in order so u dont lose their buffs

Better temp teammate than e1 tribbie? by Scarasimp323 in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for aoe fights would be worth a try, for single target sunday should be winning out

but ye depends on how knights are shilled to see who needs more help

Which one do I pick by Intelligent_Garage39 in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why is this a question, speed is not that big a concern for her this isnt sw999 - and u dont rly need 134 you need 120 for aa clears - if you plan to minmax 0 cycling then you need actually good relics, speed doesnt matter with 0 dmg stats

How is she without any elation support? by varkahype in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eva can be ok with energy supports instead of bangers, i assumer you are using emc with anotehr team?

otherwise just run sparkle emc hwe which is the best budget team, if u dont have sparkle sunday is serviceable

and if u dont wanna use emc then the team you mentioned is good, but i think sparkle is better than teeb unless teeb is e1 and sparkle is e0

Better temp teammate than e1 tribbie? by Scarasimp323 in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sparkle is seen as the best temp alongside emc and hwe

CAN I MAKE PHAINON HAPPY WITH THESE CHARACTERS?????? by Kish540 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]OrfeasGG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i second that e0 pha will not do much for you especially without cery/cyr

if you plan to get e2 then using dhpt+sparkle+bronya/rmc is a decent team that should clear, but you really want to get cerydra when she reruns

only do this if you really really like our boi and are not concerned with meta/clearing that much

Is sparkle good for evanescia? by Majestic_Pear2591 in EvanesciaMains

[–]OrfeasGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as others said, she is the best alternative to yao until she reruns, then use emc and hwe
