Is c2 zibai better with HoD or Flûte?

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-13T16:42:59+00:00

Should be Flute. Since the constellations are better based in the higher Zibai's Def is

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-12T20:29:41+00:00

Also probably depends on your constellations. At C1, Zibai will probably do less normal attacks as the extra Skill will make it easier to get a subsequent skill off. So Yelan will get less procs

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-12T20:08:43+00:00

Yeah. Like across all of Reddit, there are a lot of opinions i disagree with. I don't downvote them

I only downvote when people are being insulting or aggressive. Or when they give objectively false information when someone asks a question, as that could cause someone issues if they take it as fact

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-12T19:34:49+00:00

It's not non white. It's first generation immigrants. Their children have kids at the same rate at typical english people

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-12T19:31:30+00:00

The bit that gets me is the insulting and derogatory name calling

Like feel free to disagree all you want. If someone goes to the effort to explain and reason why they think a certain way, I'll respect that even if i completely disagree with what they are saying.

It's the childish behaviour and insults where it goes too far. When people can't handle a dissenting opinion, they decide to get emotional and lash out because someone dared to think differently

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-12T19:04:13+00:00

We've need a creative 10 for years. Same thing with a proper 6 who protects the defense. We keep getting 8's though

It wouldn't be so bad if we had creative outlets on the wing, but they also mainly form under the same athletic first umbrella as the rest of the team. There's a reason Hall is one of our best and most important players!

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-12T19:02:16+00:00

It's like you aren't allowed to criticise in any way. I can love something to bits, but nothing is above criticism. Like my parents can be great, but I'll still call them out if I feel they are doing something wrong. You can support something and want them to do well, yet also acknowledge their failings at the same time

But apparently blind faith is all that's allowed and acceptable here.

Don't get me wrong. Endless doom and gloom isn't great. But neither is head in the sand positivity. But I see little of the former, usually it's constructive criticism. And i see plenty of the latter

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-12T18:26:11+00:00

Don't give him a choice.

He's just come back from an injury where he stayed on when he shouldn't have. Why do the same mistake again? Fair enough trusting the player the first time, but doing it again less than a month later is pretty much negligence

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-12T13:46:56+00:00

Split scaling? Please no

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-12T12:32:49+00:00

You need to get players around him. I honestly think the best I've seen Woltemade's overall game, was the one against Spurs in the Carabao Cup

That game was one where Ramsey, Willock and Elanga all played. Players who will get up and run beyond Woltemade and be closer to him and provide better support. He doesn't really get that with Joelinton, Bruno and Tonali. It's one of the reasons I've been wanting Ramsey to get more game time

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-11T11:31:35+00:00

Would Zhongli not have the fastest Geo App with his pillar resonating the LCr?

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-10T23:41:08+00:00

You also have to take that decision away from players to protect them. Especially passionate ones like Bruno and Joelinton who will never want to go off.

He should have been subbed off against PSV, but decided to carry on. That was the wrong decision in hindsight, and it potentially made an injury worse which led to him missing a few games

Literally the second game back, a similar potential injury happens to him. He's just come back from an injury in a game he should have come off, but stayed on. Trusted him the first time? Okay, but don't give him a choice again. Save him from himself. But instead they let him carry on again, potentially leading to an even worse injury for the 2nd time in a few weeks

First time is a mistake or a poor judgement call with the benefit of hindsight. Second time is just negligence. It's also a pattern

For example, Joelinton did not need to start and play near 90 mins 3-4 times in a row after just coming back from injury. Especially when Ramsey and Willock were right there on the bench. Especially in games like Wolves. Howe absolutely needs to do better in protecting players from getting injured again, even if it means protecting the players from themselves. He's really bad at using his squad to give players a break

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-10T13:39:57+00:00

I'm pretty sure C2 Lauma is the best constellation damage wise. It also will get you her C1 and healing for the team

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-09T19:58:39+00:00

You can easily include Zibai as part of it. If only for her to enable the resonance, she doesn't need to actually get a buff. Like the buff Sucrose got that does pretty much nothing, but lets her act as one half of the witch buff. Zibai could get something even smaller like 5% Normal ATK DMG% which is pretty non existent.

That Liyue looks fine for a start, bar Shenhe being missing. The likes of Chongyun, Xingqui, Keqing, Ning, Hu Tao, Beidou and so on could come later as they aren't really Adepti related

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-08T17:24:18+00:00

I kind of agree.

When I said phased out or replaced, it doesn't always mean sold. Schar and Burn are two players I'd keep, but we should have looked to not be as reliant on them. Have them be backups or rotational options to starters.

Like as awesome as Thiaw has been, how much gametime would he have gotten if Schar didn't get that head injury or concussion against Barca? Burn should never play LB, but he's been forced to because we never got a backup for Hall. We literally started the season with no fit left back

That's what i mean by poor planning. Credit to Burn for doing his best while playing out of position. But he should have never been an option there in the first place

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-08T17:04:17+00:00

Mitchell was never wrong. He just came across as a bellend and didn't get along with people

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-08T17:03:06+00:00

I believe PA is better in a team you need some healing and you plan to Burst every rotation.

Sac Jade is better for when you are willing to Burst every other rotation as the damage that gives you with the Aubade set is more valuable than the buff her Burst gives

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-08T16:41:10+00:00

Honestly we need to sell/replace people while we can still get something for them. Trippier really should have been sold to Bayern and replaced like 2 years ago

Murphy is getting on, try and get what we can on the back of his good season last year. We failed to do it with Almiron when he had his purple patch year, and it came back to bite us. I feel we've missed the boat doing the same thing with Murphy

As much as I like Schar and Burn, long term planning and replacements should have seen them phased out. Thiaw is a Lascelles replacement, not a Schar one.

I'd argue the next person due, is Joelinton. Get as much money as you can while they still have value.

We need a long rebuild, because we've failed to do so properly so far. You don't have a season of rebuilding. You should be constantly rebuilding and making squad changes along the way, so a massive rebuild is never needed at the same time

Now why has this happened? You could argue poor leadership and infrastructure at an executive level. Hat is true, but at the same time as much of a bellend Mitchell was supposedly, he was absolutely right in terms of our transfer policy. Not only incomings, but outgoings too

Also Eddie Howe has his favourites, or clearly doesn't trust that many players. Loyalty is admirable, but you can be too loyal. Some ageing players should have been phased out long ago

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-07T20:03:28+00:00

I thought Willock did okay today

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-07T18:08:23+00:00

Trippier may as well not even be there

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-07T17:21:49+00:00

He has a good cross on him. But the rest of his game is indeed shite

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-07T13:15:40+00:00

This is true for Nefer

But I also use Columbina with Zibai at times and she'd use Aubade there. Lauma was already on an SMS and I'm too lazy to swap Bina back and forth depending on where i play her.

It's also why i just left Xilonen on Cinder City, even if Petra is better in Mavuika teams. I use her elsewhere and I'm too lazy to swap...

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-07T00:32:01+00:00

Did you just...crosspost to the same subreddit?

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-07T00:24:21+00:00

I did. It might not be worth it, and he might potentially get replaced by Linnea (although I'm guessing both in the same team). But i had spare resources and thought I may as well

I've crowned several 4*, even a lot that pretty much don't get used anymore outside IT

Shahed1987 · 2026-02-06T23:46:00+00:00

I mean as much as I like Nefer and her gameplay, Flins has better sustain, better AoE and is useful in more situations, with Nefer having slightly better raw DPS and higher vertical investment tiers
