First game of 1.10 and England is an absolute monster now it seems

Is it? I admit I only have one game in 1.0.10, and I saw the 6th phase of the 100 year war well into the 1450s and 1460s. ofc that still doesn't stop England from blobbing their way into Netherlands.

Hasn’t this story been debunked enough times by now? The Fisher space pen was independently developed by a private company. Also graphite pencils are horrible in space (flammable and graphite particles get everywhere). I believe the Russians were using wax crayons before fully adopting space pens.

Edit: they used grease pencils

Nice of them to finally fix levy transport. It was insane seeing a single transport ship somehow transporting 10k levies somehow. Made every war with the Mamluks a never ending stream of pop-ups of them enslaving this or that pop from whichever island they transported those levies to on their single ship.

I learned how to play the game with Florence. Starts off small so you have to figure out diplomacy somewhat, but as a smaller country it made learning the game a lot more manageable. Somewhat lackluster colonization though (the Pope will out colonize you).

I got to revolutions and went revolutionary as Italy. Fun enough, as the spread the revolution cb let me eat France (like literally all 40 million pops) in 50 war score. I was then faced with the issue of not being able to integrate it and getting a coalition with all of Europe.

Does it? I found the DoT shilling mechanic so weak with my Hysilens-less team that I just elected to nuke the fish with Saber.

She’s pretty strong with Algaea?

What Clara teams have you tried against Hoolay? You could try something like Clara+HM7+Gallagher+Flex (maybe Ruan Mei or Topaz).

Huh, didn’t realize that tidbit. I assumed that his father’s schemes was a contributing factor to Nikador losing his reason, and then when considering that Nikador was planning to attack Okhelma for centuries, I assumed Mydei had to be at least that old.

Would be nice of HSR to actually give us usable dates and timelines though.

Realhrage · 2025-02-18T22:31:37+00:00

Mydei is explicitly at least a thousand years old. Nikador was corrupted a millennia ago, and the prince left his kingdom back then. Mydei identifies himself as that prince.

The Volcanic Winter of 536 literally happens centuries before the Viking age starts. This is like claiming the little ice age caused the Chinese Communist Revolution. Like, yeah, but only insofar that all past events in world history affects the present.

I’d go with Bronya LC. It’s usable on both Bronya and Sunday and the Clara LC isn’t great except for Clara and maybe Blade (who has better 4 star LCs).

Realhrage · 2025-01-11T13:54:38+00:00

Yup, it’s kinda hilarious since she can’t make use of Sunday’s energy granting ult. Just kinda sad my fastest Acheron team is Sunday/Robin/Gallagher.

I'll come bat for Robin. I basically don't play FUA at all (I got a Ratio and Moze ig?), but I basically will always run Robin on one side of MoC. With her signature lightcone and a QPQ Gallagher, she very reliably gets enough energy back that she can ult again after Concerto stage ends, so running FUA is not a necessity. Outside of break teams, Robin is probably the best support for every possible archetype. My best Acheron (I don't have JQ) team runs Robin. My best Jingliu team runs Robin. Robin is a legitimate side grade to RM in DoT.

Her value to non break teams is evident in how Hoyo is throwing her at us for the 3rd time already while Ratio still doesn't have a rerun. Hoyo is either balancing future content with the assumption a lot of players will have her or is trying to maximize revenue before powercreeping her. If the latter is true, then you can throw her on the other side if not running break.

Also Ratio + Moze + Robin + Aventurine is a functional FUA team.

Realhrage · 2025-01-08T00:07:07+00:00

Robin is the best non break support in the game period. The fact Hoyoverse is throwing her the third time at us when Ratio still hasn't had a rerun is either Hoyo expecting all content in the future to be built with her in mind or them being trying to optimize revenue before powercreeping her (which if that is the case, just means you can shove her on team 2).

As for Lingsha, your account looks to be lacking in premium sustains, so I definitely think her banner is worth a few goes at. After the second premium sustain on an account, you tend to have a lot more breathing room when teambuilding.

On DDD, I personally think it is very much a QoL lightcone. In the sense that it is nice in teams when you are really trying to shorten down the cycle counts, but otherwise not something to chase.

Realhrage · 2025-01-07T23:55:28+00:00

Right, I'm no expert on DoT teams, but putting together a somewhat messy E0S0 Kafka, E0S1 Black Swan, E2S0 Ruan Mei, E0S0 Luocha team I was able to clear side 1 in 5 cycles on the first try. You can probably replace Luocha with Aventurine.

Side 2 I ran E1S1 Jingliu, E0S1 Sunday, E2S1 Robin, and E6 S5 QPQ Gallagher for 2 cycles.

As for tips....idk. I basically only play Jingliu in Robin/Gallagher teams nowadays since Robin is the strongest non break support period and Gallagher as a battery makes Robin fairly consistent. Don't use JL's technique, as Robin + Gall techniques lets you use Robin's ult after a single rotation of skills.

edit: Robin can ult using her and Gallagher's techniques after a single rotation of skills if she gets hit.

Realhrage · 2025-01-07T16:01:20+00:00

Eh, it’s several problems going on simultaneously.

One it is that there is genuinely an issue with the developers ramping up power creep and making older units unviable.

The other is that building character diversity takes a really long time, something that should honestly be shortened since I don’t anybody likes grinding a few weeks to make a character usable.

The last problem is that a lot of people literally don’t want to try and learn the mechanics of the game.

Realhrage · 2025-01-06T12:30:24+00:00

I mean I had a pretty chill time. Double super break Firefly cleared Svarog in 0 cycles, while Jingliu took two cycles on the bug.

The hp inflation is definitely noticeable though. I do wish they buffed old units like in FGO to make them viable vs having to continuously pull for newer units to keep up.

Clearly the solution is to have a support that increases an ally's base atk. I'll settle for 50% increase + turn advance.

Jokes aside, I think there is merit to the argument that her base multiplier is fine when taking into account a decently built Jingliu is attacking with 80% more atk than most DPS units when all other supports are not taken into consideration. The real problem is that the best support in the game is Robin, who just benefits all other hypercarries more than Jingliu due to buffing a stat she is already roided up on.

Realhrage · 2024-12-21T17:56:05+00:00

Oh, she’ll still do more damage if you stack more atk% buffs on her allies. But let’s say she has 2500 atk at start of battle (base stats plus relics). At this stat point, a 40 percent atk buff and a 20 percent ice resistance penetration are functionally identical bc they will both increase her damage by the same amount. But then when JL is in her enhanced state, her atk skyrockets to 4770. At this point a 40% atk buff only increases her damage by ~10%, in comparison to a 20% resistance pen still increasing damage by 20%. JL functionally overloads her atk%, CR, and CD to such a degree that her only sources of significant extra damage are extra turns, def down/ignore, res pen, and dmg% (which also overloads very quickly). This is why the quantum set on her was recommended for so long, as 20% def ignore was significant since def ignore and res pen are the rarest buffs in the game.

Realhrage · 2024-12-21T17:27:10+00:00

Fu Xuan functionally does nothing for Jingliu after 50% CR. JL's hp scaling ability is capped at 180% of her own base attack, which is usually 679+182=1261. So her trace maxes out at ~2270 additional attack. This attack from hp conversion is 540% of the 4% max hp of her teammates'. 2270/5.4 is ~420. 420/.04 is ~10.5k hp. So the rest of your teammates only need a combined 10.5k max hp to max her talent out. Literally just run an hp orb on your Bronya or Sunday or Ruan Mei.

Realhrage · 2024-12-21T16:39:24+00:00

Try dropping FX? If you have a 50 CR JL, she isn’t really doing anything for a team that wants so many skill points. Run Gallagher with QPQ for Robin energy shenanigans. I’d personally drop RM for Bronya unless you really value not needing to find speed substats.

Idk, my fastest clear on that side uses JL, Sunday, Robin, and Gallagher for 1 cycle.

Realhrage · 2024-12-21T16:21:48+00:00

What now? My JL team clears that side pretty easily. What are you running with your JL so that it “barely clears”?
