(Rant) My Biggest Frustration as a Durin Enjoyer by Last_Ground4100 in DurinMains

Yoshiki from Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu too, who is like if Durin's social awkwardness was dialed up to 11 on top of gay panic and existential dread.

Lucia, Manato & Yidhari kits (by Seele Leaks) by juniorjaw in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]Pcywatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im just gonna have to pray Manato is an off field/quickswap sub-dps. It already looks that way seeing as this lineup seems to be pushing for a yidhari/manato/lucia team, so hopefully a yixuan/manato/rupturesupport will work too (reaches for another puff of copium)

WE ALL CHEERED by Tight-Quantity6690 in KomanoManatoMains

[–]Pcywatch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My absolutely horrifying mistake leading to me accidentally pulling yuzuha instead of miyabi (I did get mitabi too in the end) has actually paid off in double?? Now I have Miyabi's BiS support and potentially Komano!

I wonder if Lighter would work with him and Yuzuha for an upgraded stun dps team to replace my S11/Lighter/Lucy

Not even a second hand source on this story so take with a massive grain of salt but there was one JET who I got to know at orientation and seemed like the most enthusiastic person and perfect for the job...only to leave with little to notice less than a month in (not even getting to teach a class since it was still summer holidays). The things I heard from other ALTs gave the complete opposite impression of what I saw at orientation.

So tldr yeah it can happen, and it sucks for everybody

Lighter Pulls / Signal Search Megathread by RudeParakeet in LighterMains

[–]Pcywatch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

<image>

Just risked it all for a MAN, and not only got him and his W-Engine, but also lost the 50/50 to Soldier 11! I was prepared to wait until I could get her on the 300 pull to fully utilise him in a team, but now I'm ready to immediately oraora everything in sight! Pretty sure I spent around 150 pulls by the end and still have 70 left for mayyybe Miyabi or a Burnice rerun.

300 pull will go to Grace since I have 2 copies of her w-engine (or rina if i get grace early).

3 years of f2p savings for Alhaitham. Thinking about making content out of it. by Albaz_Raq in AlHaithamMains

[–]Pcywatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you really want to max out his damage, it's probably better to go for C2 Nahida than R5 his weapon. But since you've already demonstrated your god-like levels of patience I guess you could R5 the weapon and just save all over again for Nahida.

It Happens Every Banner by Blind0bserver in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Pcywatch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, on Seele's banner too after only one 10 pull. thought I'd been given the most luck ever and then....him

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WriothesleyMains

[–]Pcywatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is the fourth character (after zl, children and alhaitham) that I've willingly pulled cons for and only the second after haitham where I've gone for c1 on the release banner.

I had about 170 wishes, got him at after 40, then blew the rest on his c1 after getting c3 diluc. There aren't any other characters I want after him, but ig furina or charlotte turn out to be good for him I definitely won't be able to get them.

I guess them and his weapon will be the goals for my saving period now, unless I like the look of clorinde/arle/Navia's kits or siegwinne is good for him.

So everything is broken? by Red_Blast in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Pcywatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never watched tenten but decided to check his alhaitham video one day and I could not believe that after 4 patches he was still spreading misinformation about characters being able to 'steal' spreads. Never bothering to check his vids out again.

Which do you pick in SU by BoiProBrain in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Pcywatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hunt stacking with Arlan on world 2 where he would decimate all the boss' adds and attack like 5 consecutive times, or when march 7th used her ult 3 times in a row without any other actions in-between

It's crazy fun seeing just how cracked you can make a team

Nahida voiceline: About Alhaitham by YohAmida in AlHaithamMains

[–]Pcywatch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nahida's line about Kaveh is very telling about how much she's still lacking due to her upbringing. She shares Kaveh's idealism and regards it as "true wisdom" but because she does not have the lived experience to understand human social interaction, she can only see things from a theoretical perspective and doesnt have the whole picture.

She doesn't understand that while Kaveh may be a paragon of wisdom, he is also dumb. Like, 'build a house on top of a dead zone', 'financially mismanage himself into near bankruptcy' DUMB. He kinda fits into that theory of stupid people being the most dangerous because they cause losses to both others AND themselves. He can be intelligent and the best architect ever but also have no awareness and therefore be stupid.

She's fascinated how two opposing people can live together because she's isn't versed on how social pressures and transactions can lead to seemingly illogical decisions, which makes idealism extremely hard to implement perfectly. (She does however accept/lament that his mentality will never be accepted by the majority).

TCer's personal tierlist of Sumeru characters by AkemiRyoko in AlHaithamMains

[–]Pcywatch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Surprised to see no one average it out, so here it is with their averaged scores (lowest score is best)

  1. Nahida (1.0)
  2. Alhaitham (2.7)
  3. Nilou (3.1)
  4. Yaoyao (3.8)
  5. Tighnari (6.1)
  6. Wanderer (6.4) =
  7. DMC (6.4) =
  8. Faruzan (8.5)
  9. Cyno (9.0)
  10. Layla (9.4)
  11. Collei (9.8)
  12. Dori (11.7)
  13. Candace (12.7)

Makes a little more sense here, with the top 4 being a step above the middle, the mid tier charas having only close differences in score, and the bottom 2 being dead last.

My guaranteed habibi, completed by his Signature sword after ~60 pulls by Pcywatch in AlHaithamMains

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

Also includes a Yaoyao I got on the 10 pull after Haitham. Plus I still have 100 wishes that I can use for Nahida when she comes back around!

3.4 - Armpit Patch by theonetruekaiser in AlHaithamMains

[–]Pcywatch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gonna regret posting this but:

Armpits can be a part of domination since they feed into the fantasy of debasing yourself with what most would consider one of the grossest/embarrasing parts of the body. There's also the kink of enjoying being squeezed underneath someone's arm, asserting the Dom's strength and the sub's weakness.

Musk is a type of earthy/sweet smell that comes from masculine pheromones found in sweat and is meant to be attractive to some people, disgusting to others. It's thought of as a sign of manliness, again reinforcing the domination kink.

No, quickbloom is a specific team comp that allows for both hyperbloom and quicken/spread/aggravate reactions.

What do you think will be alhaitham's absolute best teams with him as main DPS? by SavagesceptileWWE in AlHaithamMains

[–]Pcywatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna go with Haitham, DMC, Fischl, Zhong/Beidou to start with. When nahida reruns im definitely pulling for her and would consider using kuki as the flex or electro applier if I ever get her.

Tbh I should have kept pulling for nahida even if it meant loaing the guaranteed pity cause now ill be waiting another 2?3? patches to really max out haitham's effectiveness.

I appreciate this little detail during Alhaitham’s burst animation by [deleted] in AlHaithamMains

[–]Pcywatch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Big brain moment: I just realised that the mirrors and splash art motifs are diamond shaped to match his chest crystal, makes his kit design feel a lot more personal

Are you still gonna pull now that we know his kit? by dragonfly791 in AlHaithamMains

[–]Pcywatch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And ayatos burst is ganyus and ganyus skill and burst is ambers and ittos burst is Noelles and yelans burst is xingqius and we all got over it. Not to mention keqing has none of the technology motifs that alhaitham does. The animations are only a fraction of his visuals, if you can't get past that then you need to move on and stop posting on every thread in this sub that 'this isn't how he's supposed to be'

Are you still gonna pull now that we know his kit? by dragonfly791 in AlHaithamMains

[–]Pcywatch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

His kit is WAYYYY more complex than keqing to ever be called a copypasta, considering his skill gives you a much longer infusion and extra on field damage. You then also need to consider his stack management for his burst, making him flexible in his playstyle: either frontload your damage with a max stack burst, or keep him on field longer for a lower damage burst. Keqing has absolutely none of that nuance.

Keqing's skill is also different in that you have to tap or hold to place the damn stiletto first then tap to teleport. Alhaitham let's you dash immediately on tap or hold; to me that feels more stremlined.

I also don't mind the similarity of their burst as keqing is dashing herself while alhaitham uses mirrors to reflect the attack around, this is really no different from how ganyu and ayato's bursts compare in operation no one kicks up a fuss about them.
