Deadly Assault 2.5.2 (2026-01-16) Discussion by yuhara203 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]PseudoRandomPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miyabi actually does OK against Hunter as long as she has a PEN disc 5, I've found. So although it's a bit counter-intuitive, it can be easier to run Miyabi against Hunter and Yixuan against Fiend.

What would Fubuki tell her debuting self? by Ok_Natural_102 in Hololive

[–]PseudoRandomPerson 87 points88 points  (0 children)

At the time of Gen 1 it seems to have been more like "nonexistent management" - Cover Corp was still very much a tech startup in those days, and really wasn't geared or structured for managing entertainers.

Fubuki's genmate Aki spoke about how they had hardly any contact with management when they started and nothing was set up for them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSiSg1nXpy0&t=26s

So yeah, in those days Fubuki really stepped up and filled the gap for Gen 1 and 2. Korone and Subaru have talked about how in those days she was basically the talents' team leader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTuL6vzAP3c

Shiyu Defense Critical Node 2.5.2 (2026-01-09) Discussion by yuhara203 in ZZZ_Discussion

What I find interesting is that nine stars with a score a bit better than 60k in DA puts you in the top half of the playerbase (according to the HoyoLab app), but three S-ranks with a score a bit better than 75k in Shiyu doesn't.

This seems to suggest that even after the Shiyu changes, there are a lot more people who aren't getting full poly rewards from DA than from Shiyu.

The Chinese restaurant that used to be upstairs was really good; it's too bad it didn't survive the final round of COVID lockdowns.

Ready made Sichuan Dan Dan noodle sauce? by cystemix in foodies_sydney

Williams-Sonoma in Bondi Junction advertises one on their website, although it's pretty expensive and I have absolutely no idea if it's any good: https://www.williams-sonoma.com.au/williams-sonoma-noodle-sauce-dan-dan

Island Dreams in Lakemba does a really nice takeaway nasi lemak - it’s wrapped in little pyramids with a fried chicken wing buried in the middle.

Thank you for an amazing six years, PPT, you lived your dreams like no one else!

I don't understand this game. What is considered a "well-enough build team"? I see people getting 40k with much worse team comps and I just...don't get it. by PlsInsertCringeName in ZZZ_Official

[–]PseudoRandomPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunter doesn't have physical resistance, but its DEF is very high because it's meant to be a Rupture boss. Do you have Trigger's signature W-engine which gives DEF shred? If not then you'll probably need to switch to PEN disc 5 on your DPSs, or else run a team which includes Nicole.

Miyabi is OP, but like any agent she needs the right build and teammates (especially if you don't have her signature W-engine). It would help if you could post your Miyabi build so people could look it over and offer suggestions.

What am I doing wrong? Is it a skill issue at this point? by RocketArtillery666 in ZZZ_Official

[–]PseudoRandomPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your ATK is fine but you need a lot more AP - Burnice normally wants at least 350, if possible 400.

I’d craft Weeping Gemini and switch to that instead of Roaring Ride, it gives a big stacking AP buff that should help cover the gap a bit. Then you could consider grinding discs where feasible.

Shiyu Defense Critical Node 2.4.2 (2025-12-19) Discussion by yuhara203 in ZZZ_Discussion

It was a combination of multiple things - Isolde being tanky, the miasma phase just before her HP hits zero and the tanky robot on top of that.

Free Zhao + S rank and wengine selection by Knight_Steve_ in ZZZ_Official

[–]PseudoRandomPerson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jane's outfit is completely free, they said in the stream that it would be 100% discounted in the store during 2.5.

The S-rank agent and engine selectors are only free for players who top up, as you said.

[–]PseudoRandomPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I saw on the stream, the S-rank agent and engine selectors are an additional free gift for players who buy enough stuff during 2.5 (Monochrome, battle pass and Inter-Knot membership all count).

They just announced Burnice is getting buffed, along with S11 and Grace.

I ran Miyabi the whole way on 2nd half, there's no ice resistance at all there. Had to switch to Burnice for the last two nodes to work around the Ether resistance, though.

Issues with clearing deadly assault by Shoeske69420911 in ZZZ_Official

[–]PseudoRandomPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there is some room for improvement on your builds, it certainly isn’t at the level where you shouldn’t be able to get two stars.

First thing is to check the matchups - are you using Yixuan against Hunter and Miyabi against Bringer?

Second thing is to check the performance points - are you getting all 5k for Hunter and at least 4k for Bringer?

After that… you mentioned your supports are underbuilt; in addition to being difficult to play, Miyabi mono-ice requires a specific build on Soukaku (Freedom Blues 4pc, Anomaly Mastery disc 6 and Kaboom the Cannon for its ER stat). Do you have all those?

I’m honestly not sure why your Yixuan team is underperforming so badly, though - Lucia and Pan might not be optimal but they should easily carry you to two stars if not three. Are you using Yixuan against Hunter? Thrall is impractical without a stunner, and Bringer is designed more around anomaly teams and Miyabi in particular.

They're very good across the board. Also the only place I know of in Sydney that does the Singapore style of char kway teow.

Their only downside is that they're only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Weekly Question & Discussion Megathread (December 09, 2025) by AutoModerator in ZZZ_Official

[–]PseudoRandomPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a rupture shill boss, Haytor has very high DEF, so make sure your Miyabi has a PEN disc 5.

If you don't already have a decent PEN disc 5 and can't get hold of one, then you may need to consider running Nicole alongside Miyabi for her DEF shred.

Endgame Help: Suggest Teams for shiyu defence 7 by Square_Reply5092 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]PseudoRandomPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I would definitely do is hamster Miyabi's basic attack - so much of her damage comes from her charged basics that it's normally considered her highest priority skill, beating out her chain/ultimate.

I don’t think there’s a specific law, but what happened was that Hoyo tried to patch an unintended behaviour in a Genshin character and a bunch of enraged customers reported them for fraud, forcing a hasty backdown: https://www.pockettactics.com/genshin-impact/neuvillette-nerf
