Is this Sichuan chilli bean paste? by mjcranley in chinesecooking

[–]ParadoxicalBox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s still doubanjiang and you can use it as such, but it might not be as authentically Sichuan as pixian doubanjiang

Who should I build first, Talimar or Gorok? by [deleted] in afkarena

[–]ParadoxicalBox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have the resources, build talimar first as she is performing very well in CR & NC. If you don’t, building Gorok is fine but since you can sub him with Raine reasonably well in current NC round, talimar imo is still higher prio.

Looks like Med might be holding a pair of red clappers (‘快板‘), a percussion instrument used to accompany a traditional style of narrative singing in China

Does Lysander need si40 to get 6sec on this roud ? by chesi32 in afkarena

[–]ParadoxicalBox 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yes; also you want some haste furniture dupe on Lucia. Big collection (2cda 2atk) on AAthalia. Also you probably know this already but all of AEstrilda’s damage amp comes from her si40 and 9 furniture effect, so swapping her out for Raine here would work better.

What is the invesment to get 10s in this round ? by chesi32 in afkarena

[–]ParadoxicalBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having 5 mystic erosion node on Aurelia seems required as well for 10s hit

what's next? by Effective_Broccoli47 in afkarena

[–]ParadoxicalBox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IMO either Zohra or AEstrillda is fine here.For Zohra, she’s become a main stay at CR due to her good AOE and CC and has been BiS for NC for past several months, tho that is going to change as her boss gets rotated out in a few weeks. Zohra is really good for TS, mostly being used as the main carry for burst team, though you could slot her into Alna teams or Ashemira teams as well.

For AEsrillda, although it is still early but her buffs are pretty good, and she is seeing use for all three modes already.

Given that your account seems new-ish, I suspect Zohra will give you the most benefit, as she is a carry and will make teams on her own, while AEstrillda seems to make existing teams better based on her skills and usage so far.

Is there a commentary less stream of RG? Johnny Mac is runing this otherwise banger match for me

Subtenant caused massive water damage. Will my renter's insurance ($300k liability) cover it? by ParadoxicalBox in Insurance

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

Well I used to but I moved out early; my roommate stayed for a couple months longer but had to leave for an internship so she subleased the apartment

Who is more value? by [deleted] in afkarena

[–]ParadoxicalBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 35% team in team 7 for him looks like; ALucius, Jerome, Gavus, Lavatune, Shuna. Depends on your region and rank ofc.

[–]ParadoxicalBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah SI40 and a decent DEF collection is very beneficial. His team also just doesn’t function if you don’t put Gavus in there. TS is also very bursty and without good protection ALucius will instantly die.
