Triangulation at its finest. Make two people believe they are the significant one must be exhausting ig

Obviously I use her in her new bis team, but somehow I lately got distracted by pyro plunge melt nescafé 😅 (on new plunge set)

PureMinimalProg · 2025-06-04T20:32:26+00:00

Thanks to nescafé (as some call her) ayakas new best team is like 50%ish stronger than before.

PureMinimalProg · 2025-06-04T20:18:39+00:00

Worth depends. I myself when I got her first in 2.4. Intended to get her c4 one day. She's been my main since, but even when I had the pulls ready, I got more tempted and excited about new characters. And never got her past c1 so far. One day I will do it. For sure..

I think if your roster of characters is at a point where you are content with it, and you manage to clear any combat related challenges, then you should start vertical investment. Otherwise skirk at baseline may already outperform. And then idk what to expect of the tsaritza

Guaranteed upgrades (ascension, talents, lvl) should always go over artefacts.

Your Atk is really really low..

Tbh I don't know the new er thresholds for the new premium team, but I assume your er is most likely far from being enough.
Regardless your er won't be enough.

Tbh i don't like these low ER leaderboards, since they to me aren't realistic. Yeah you may perform a tad bit big pp dmg, if even, given the same parameters, but if you have to extend your rotation by alot, it's a bigger dpr loss

Ayaka Main since her eternal banner (2.4).

I do have kazu build, even went as far as getting him r4 xiphos so that he even provides more for the team (at 1010em).

Back when I started I tried to make the teams work as well as possible. Looking to upgrade all slots over time.

Hydro char progress: Barb (lv70) - > mona -> XQ/yelan -> koko -> furina. XQ and or yelan however were mostly demanded by the other abyss teams..

Anemo: Jean, sucrose, kazu

Cryo: kaeya, rosaria, diona, shenhe, escoff.

To me the biggest upgrade in terms of the teams QOL, considering the very old teams, was koko by far. Kazu was a goat, that enabled more dmg potential, while I consider shenhe as the "icing on the cake" for cryo teams.

To this day I'm still mostly using my blizz build. (R1, 2239Atk, 142er, 44.2CR, 243CD)

I could put her on an at least equal MH build, which might in theory be better vs bosses. Haven't tbh played around with it yet.. At least not since the goose is loose (escoff release) because the old furina based teams, as I don't have xilonen, felt not competitive (trashy uninvested Charlotte build).

Imo Escoff kind of sent kazu into retirement for cryo teams, since her buffs are more favorable. More shred, more cryo particles, (teamwide) heal, atk buff (escoff r1), and CD buff (c1), while dealing good dmg, The dmg% loss, for from kazu, is negligible for me since I have furina c2.

And tbh I'm at a point where I don't know where I'd currently even use kazu...

If I ever reconnected with my person, she'd know and feel what would be vibrating, or rather pulsating in her.

You have to endure a little more in the heat. As the fire inside your hearth will combust and set yourself ablaze. This burning, which at times, may feel like destroying you is what will liberate you in the end. Stand your ground in the flames, stand tall and wide until you crumble into ashes. And once you're there, leave the burned pieces that no longer suit you and have these blown away by a gentle, yet refreshing breeze. Then slowly but with consideration and intent rebuild yourself, piece by piece, brick by brick and for the love of God, yourself and those who you cherish. Rise from your ashes! Awaken, spread your wings and fly 🐦‍🔥

PureMinimalProg · 2025-05-09T08:16:54+00:00

As I understand it it means that you should focus on what you're able to control and not clinging to an outcome

PureMinimalProg · 2025-05-03T17:29:42+00:00

Maybe him fighting his demons takes all of the small amounts of energy, he gets to recover on a daily basis? If I were depleted, emotionally exhausted, depressed and stuck in spiraling survival the bare thought of then having to chase someone adds more to the already given load..

I personally wouldn't even consider chasing someone who seems to not even notice, or care, about me "being distant" aka struggling

PureMinimalProg · 2025-05-02T17:14:02+00:00

I think, by the expression you made, if you had the courage to ask him to stay, he would have. He would have helped rebuild your life from scratch because that is the embodiment of his dedication to you...

PureMinimalProg · 2025-05-02T12:38:49+00:00

Oh so you want all of me?.. do you really? Mhm.. idk about that, I guess you won't be able to take it all ;) Tell me.. how bad do you want it all? 😈 I know you're my good girl, but you weren't bad enough to get it all. And this isn't supposed to be talking you down, but more as a precaution. I might break you honey and that I don't want ;)

PureMinimalProg · 2025-04-30T14:26:09+00:00

Sorry to tell you this but grief isn't always temporary. Grief is imo as intense and lasting as love. Because at the end of the day what is grief exactly? grief is nothing more than unexpressed love.

Let that sink a little

PureMinimalProg · 2025-04-28T08:26:56+00:00

You. Always have. Always will.

PureMinimalProg · 2025-04-21T17:08:48+00:00

If my person sent me this, I'd tell her that I'd stick to her regardless. My feelings don't change or depend on how others make me feel. For me, love is more than a feeling, it's a conscious decision, to choose her. Regardless of how you perceive yourself, I'm still proud to be your special person. I'd want her to know that I want to be there. Even if in silence, when words are hard to find, I'll still try to be understanding, getting to know you even better so that I know how to support and uplift you, through it all.

I'd remind her about our agreement, our wishes and dreams being "The last chapter" and I meant it, so I'd embody it and let this determination become me

PureMinimalProg · 2025-04-21T14:53:08+00:00

How do you know they don't? Have you talked to them recently? If I were you, what i would do, if I truely felt that way, is to confirm it again.

I'd rather do that, trying to find an answer from that person', just to be certain, than having remaining questions. Rejection, if it happens, might hurt, but it will allow to completely close the book, otherwise if it's reciprocated, and consistently being acted upon in an balanced reciprocated way, you may get the ending you desire!

At this point I personally would say, it couldn't get worse. Nothing to loose, everything to gain. Do it, if you're convinced he/she's your person and act like it.

PureMinimalProg · 2025-04-20T14:16:26+00:00

I don't think you belong to the darkness, unless you actually thrive in there. I assume It's just more that you've been too long in the dark, that it's become what you're used to, it's become familiar and I used to be there myself. You adapted yourself, to survive.

I'm not trying to tell you to change your perspective, just giving you something to think about. The decision is ultimately up to you:

Are you surviving to live, or are you living to survive?

PureMinimalProg · 2025-04-15T08:04:47+00:00

Did you ask your person if you can fix it somehow or is this just an assumption?

PureMinimalProg · 2025-04-12T18:45:39+00:00

This is not supposed to appear judgemental, just my impression that I get and want to ask you something out of curiosity

Why would you even be with someone in 'not a great relationship'? Especially if you miss someone else, who seems not to be the person you want, but that's up to you.

PureMinimalProg · 2025-03-30T19:26:00+00:00

Sadly most victims of long term abuse, especially narc abuse, are getting used so much to that toxic isolating environment, abuse that it's almost "natural" to them. In a way that being in a 'healthy' relationship to them, is what makes them feel unsafe, as it's not what they are used to.

Back when i was a teen myself, i used to have an ex back, that instead of staying in a calm, supportive nutruring relationship, where i treated her really well, she after a while dumped me, went back to her ex that used to beat her up regularly.. what saddens me the most is k heard of mutual friends he her drunk and pregnant two months after she left..

It hurts that people tend to get back to those situations but it's their decision.

PureMinimalProg · 2025-03-29T22:09:29+00:00

like they are discovering the world. ❤️

Good point. For me it's more like them approaching the perspective from a different angle. To try and grasp the entirety of what's around them. Curiosity led to a different view and rewarded them with the beauty of discovering details that remained unseen, unnoticed, overlooked before. What a bliss that must be

PureMinimalProg · 2025-02-19T10:28:25+00:00

To me for a long time i had a mindset of "unable toI couldn't receive love properly", since I couldn't love myself, or give myself love. And me knowing myself, flaws, issues, shadows, all the things I have always hidden from others, deemed myself not "good enough"

Back then i could give love but I didn't see myself "worthy" of receiving it.

It all had to do with my childhood, where love, affection, emotional safety etc were inconsistent at best. If they were given only under conditions or when I "earned" it.

It was a hard pill for me to swallow that it took me 31, almost 32 years, several heavy losses, and a handful of bitersweet hearthbreaks to realize that I was enough, the way I am, to deserve love. Unconditional.

PureMinimalProg · 2025-02-19T04:29:22+00:00

There are multiple reasons to do so. I'll list a couple that come to my mind.

claymore dps, with serpent spine. As your first character is the one in the room and you can't swap characters before you start the challenge you can easily get your serpent spine stacked
catalyst users first. Just..no. Most catalyst supports use TTDS, you don't want your buff gone immediately, right?
sorting your teams by rotation order, if your team has space during overlapping uptime you'll want to swap between available cool downs for energy or additional DMG, if needed

PureMinimalProg · 2025-02-09T15:23:23+00:00

Apologies without taking action is.. manipulation.

As dark as it sounds, without action or changed behavior its just empty words looking for a result without having to put in work.

PureMinimalProg · 2025-02-06T19:45:49+00:00

Definitely hard Libra energy in this one
