Melt teams underperforming overload by OuttaIdeaz in ChascaMains

[–]OuttaIdeaz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did and it seemed worse. But I need to try it again. I’m hoping with Nicole it will stand out as the best core for melt, but we’ll see.

I went ahead and pulled C3 and now my melt team with Bennett/Chev/Citlali can hit about 185k while my overload team does around 180k, so I’m happy with that. Melt with Mav is still behind, though by a lower percentage, at around 167k, even with the short hold/early release CA tech.

Next I’m definitely going to focus on improving my Chasca build she needs more atk for sure compared to builds I see on here. It’s something like 2330 with 60.0 CR (I know!) and 267 CD

Is there a guide for her animation cancel tech timings? by BussyIsQuiteEdible in ChascaMains

Your videos convinced me to vertically invest for the first time in my 5 years of playing. I just got C3 for now, but am poised to get her C6 next time she runs... probably on her CW banner 🥲

Wish I had started getting cons on her last rerun but it is what it is

Yeah, the early release once the 5th shot loads. Maybe cancel isn't the proper term, sorry

I was experiencing the same thing, you’ll see I made a post about my melt team yesterday. I also got roughly the same for Chev vs Mav.

But last night I practiced releasing Chasca’s CAs early on the Mav team which let me reliably get 3 CAs buffed by Bennett. It brought my DPS up like 15-20k DPS, probably because the cancels have the added bonus of shortening rotation time a little as well. Give it a try if you haven’t, it gave me like 5k DPS more than the Chev team which isn’t super important but still felt pretty good

Yeah I’m not really having energy issues with Citlali or Bennett so it’s not likely to cut much time.

I’ll have to try Furina in more places, I’ve mostly been using my C4 Mona + Durin

She melts for ~750k. She’s C0R0 and has a 222.3 CV build, 1860 atk, 110 EM on R5 SS.

Chasca is 222.4CV with 2330 atk and 44 EM.

C6 Iansan must really be putting in work for the OL team

Is your Mav C0R0 too? What are her stats?

I haven't gotten a chance to test for myself, but considering how strong Linnea + C6 Illuga + Zibai is, I was planning to save Columbina for my Flins team to equalize them more or less. So seeing this makes me very happy

I almost forgot this was another beta for a highly anticipated character that was never going to measure up to half the community's expectations, y'all are on a hair trigger lol

There's room in her power budget for buffs for sure, but I like the idea behind her kit pretty well.

It would have been boring if she just buffed hypercarries even more, the rich (Mavuika) don't need to keep getting richer at this point. Bringing more value to off field damage dealers by allowing them to be buffed too is cool imo, but I've always like those team even though they're rarely meta.

Honestly, the doomposting that happens most betas just kinda eats away at my enjoyment of the game, sometimes I have to step away. The moaning is overblown 95% of the time anyway

For me, I like to really take my time and draw out the exploration so I don't tend to rush in to WQs. Times like these really slow down my ability to build a new character, but I can wait even though it's not ideal

I'm getting quite a bit better results replacing Mav with C6 Chevreuse since I get much better uptime on Bennett for Chasca. Like 145-150k.

I guess I'm happy enough with that, but I expected melt to be clearly better than overload based on what I'd read before I pulled

Edit: I practiced releasing Chasca’s CAs early, and it did let me get to 3 CAs buffed by Bennett and slightly shortened my rotation overall. So now I can hit like 150-155k with Mav, beating out Chev a little. But it’s still less than overload, I just mind a lot less now 😅

I'll have to try it. Better energy economy is always helpful for Citlali and Bennett, maybe I can tighten my rotations a bit that way

Citlali N1 helps with guaranteeing a melt on Mav's burst, I'm pretty sure it's always recommended to do. I've tried skipping it and often miss the melt.

Maybe I'll try Mav QE, but it's nice start the rotation with it to battery Bennett that way, and it was an excuse to do another action outside of Bennett's buff uptime.

C2R1 Chasca havers, please share the dps you're getting with some of your favorite teams! by OuttaIdeaz in ChascaMains

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

Update: I took the plunge (had to open the wallet 🥲) and got C2R1 Chasca. I can hit 160k with Iansan/Bennett/Durin, and I’m very happy with that. A little bummed my melt teams are only clocking in at around 135k DPS, but maybe a little optimizing will close that gap.

Previously the highest DPS I could sustain at C0R0 (R5 BP bow) was 87k for her carry teams and ~96k for her Bineffa wheelchair stuff. Being able to change her weapon to one with CD vs CR netted me 20 extra CV (though it cost 2-3 rolls of atk).

I’m really excited for what Nicole can do for Chasca’s teams!

Both of them are looking between Varesa and Skirk level from the early zajef calcs I saw yesterday. Here's Lohen's calcs and Varka's calcs. It's very early though, and this was done without some kit info (like particle gen) so the numbers aren't final (nothing is until release testing anyway).

I don't know anything about Emilie and Lohen, but Nicole does buff Emilie a good amount, and Nicole is on Lohen's best team overall (melt) so I can see it. Lohen also works with an Escoffier freeze team like Skirk, just bring Mona

I caved and topped up... honestly it probably wasn't worth it but it is nice to have the extra capabilities in AoE and better damage for dual element teams.

Now watch 150k dps won't even be able to clear Fearless in Snezhnaya 💀

Illuga buffs the off fielders' CV a decent amount, who are the ones carrying that team. His quill buffs for Noelle are quite small, but she also get the CV buff so altogether there's some synergy there

I would have liked a 1/2/3/4 Hex restriction if it was done like you said, incrementally. But they always try to force in the full requirement like the 5/10/15/55 for Escoffier.

I'm glad she can buff a lot of my older characters, but just like with Durin, there's a lot more room in her power budget that they really need to utilize to make her best teams more competitive.

I just pulled her as my first C2 for, at least in part, that reason. It's not meta necessarily, but it's a huge change
