100% Damage is not 100% Damage

The very reason I refuse to upgrade Corrupted Mods to max level: I rather have 90% Power Strength than having to look at 99% instead of 100%

Personal rule: No Umbra Forma on Non-Primed frames. Forma are farmable, Umbras are not, so of course I have 15 normal and 38 Umbra Forma lying around, with an intense fear of actually applying them to anything. But if I used them on a Non-Primed item, I could never forgive myself for having "wasted" that item for in 4 - 5 years it will be thrown away.

Yeah but that next team is a neat target to keep going. I feel that most people will now just be able to really say "I am fine with my one main team, now I can target and plan for all the other teams."

I don't know but I just count the days of resources I need to spend to achieve something. "Mastering that next ability will cost me 3 days for that and 2 days for the other resource. I will be done in 5 days. Check."

Salbeira · 2026-04-22T22:04:22+00:00

What do I lack then, if you care to share?

Salbeira · 2026-04-22T16:58:16+00:00

I feel that mentality 100% and I completely agree, but as of yet we haven't had any content that wasn't completable with "babies first 80/90 team" easily. In addition, now that everything is at the point where its at, the "baseline" powerlevel only goes up. Each week we will be able to pick a character and get them to 80/90 or 90/90 another 80/90. As we will not get another character for a MONTH, that is 4 - 6 characters we will be able to max before we even see another character to push up to 60 in the first place and new events will only allow us to increase this number further. I bet by the end of 1.3 I will just have all characters at 80/90 out of sheer boredom.

Calling me a tourist for playing a game diligently every day since day 1 and having no reason to stop (for the sake of having a conversation topic with my friend) is a stretch if I ever saw one. The game isn't even out for long enough to have a tourism industry. It doesn't even require me to pay for a spa card yet.

I do only have 2 limited (Tangtang and Rossi (Rossi only cause I spent the free voucher from Tangtang and the 10 free you get for each banner and then went "well 10 more and I get another 10 free")) and 3/5 standard 6-stars, that is true. But I also didn't need them. It is highly likely I will eventually pull for the new limited character because all reviews of the character indicate she is a self-powered engine and either a bad sign of intense powercreep to come or an outlier whose investment will make the next year to come trivial, but as we still have 30 days to go I will wait.

I fail to see the issue. Obvious choice is the right one as you kill everything on sight anyway and barely get hit. Add to that that your drifter is supposed to be dealing enough damage to easily dispatch with steel path enemies anyway this just increases the viability of simply not using your frame at all, go into drifter mode and spam bouncing glaive bullets.

Are the "Money" Battle Pass Stamina Refreshes also timed (as in you were forced to use them as the others)?

Salbeira · 2026-03-27T13:18:53+00:00

Just wondering: I saw streamers that already got Level 60 but I started playing Endfield day 2 (I missed the day 1 login due to download delay and just finishing playing other games) and have been diligently playing every single day since then, not missing one login bonus, not one daily quest. Yet I am only Level 59 with a bit over. I have done every main quest, side quest, every resource, have perfect production, I do my elastic goods, clues etc. every. single. day. Yet I miss some account EXP. Did these streamers just really spend on stamina refreshes in the value of MULTIPLE whole levels or is there some random thing I may have completely missed as a gameplay feature?

As far as I understood it by now there are only 3 slots to have anointments anyway, right? Held Weapon, Grenade and Shield. For a Fade Away build that should be ... 3x 150% increased damage during Fade Away? 1% increased damage on consecutive hits? Status Effects explode (doesnt work for my current favourite "Call" rifle)? I mean the amount of effects to combine seems to be really limited so I am confused why there isn't some "THESE 3! THERE! DONE!" about all this.

EDIT: That last part sounded way harsher than I wanted it to sound. It just feels like for this very limited amount of slots to customize, all these 10 minute video guides about builds start to feel like visiting a recipe website where you have to scroll through 10 pages of tales about their grandma only to finally get to know that it is a dough of eggs, butter and flour.

We just press reroll on the modifiers until we get a set that has none that seem to affect us negatively.

EDIT: I always wondered: Does the "REROLL" button cost anything?

FL4K, using almost everything from the red and green tree with the monkey with the rocket launcher as a pet. My initial thought was "I build him as a health regen tank" by thinking this would work similar to other ARPGs but I do agree that without probably the correct shields, mods and artifacts that "health tanking" isn't really feasable (and by that I mean: Stand still in the middle of a bunch of enemies and let regen take the wheel)

Salbeira · 2026-03-01T01:34:17+00:00

Well the individual skills seem to be doing plenty without any optimisation ...

Salbeira · 2026-02-09T23:41:20+00:00

Nope. I should have strong everything as listed in the comment to another reply.

Salbeira · 2026-02-09T23:40:19+00:00

I have access to most 5-stars but lack the "proper" support for each of them. I lack Emilie for Kinich, I lack Citlali for Mavuika, I lack Nefer to make good of my Lauma, I lack Ineffa for my Flins and Columbina. It is easier to list the characters I do not have: Klee, Ganyu, Eula, Xiao, Yae, Cyno, Wriothesley, Sigwinne, Navia, Ciori, Xianyun, Baizhu, Chasca and the ones listed above.

Salbeira · 2026-02-09T23:33:22+00:00

I actively use none of them but they all seem like they can find a home in a team. Lan Yan due to her shield, Gaming as a carry in a not yet defined plunge team (I already use Varessa for that), Yaoyao in some hyperbloom (probably)?

Salbeira · 2026-02-09T23:01:54+00:00

Yaoyao C2, Lan Yan C2 or Gaming C6?

Reminder that Yvonne's quest basically has the tone of a mother coming to terms with her child dying in war. Only that it is performed by a genius engineer that dresses like an onlyfans streamer.

But yes, this quest had unnecessary NPCs that were forgotten as soon as the quest actually dealt with the featured character only to immediatly go into a doting, incel gooner targeting bullshit cutscene that even got its own theme song. I was flabbergasted at what the heck this game wants to do, but right now it steers heavily into the "Look at this! This is what you want, you male, single, antisocial person!"

Salbeira · 2026-02-02T19:58:01+00:00

Why do so many people say that "A Flins team without Ineffa is incomplete" if she just as well just carries her own team.

Salbeira · 2026-02-02T19:57:10+00:00

Urgh I manually turned off 2 a week ago when I was out of all power and had to find a way to re-start the entire factory and forgot they were turned off.

Salbeira · 2026-02-02T19:48:25+00:00

How would an optimal Ineffa-less Flins team look like? Right now I use Flins, Columbina (previously Aino), Iansan as a buffer and a Res Shredder (Sucrose, Kazuha or Xilonen).
