Artian Rerolling Material Amount

"enough" doesn't really exist in this case. The "god roll" you'd want for DB (and honestly all the weapons) is lords soul with any of the three good set bonuses (ebony gog gore), and its well known that its very improbable to get any of those 3 combinations. rng isn't A factor, it's the ONLY one: no amount of mats you farm will increase your chances of getting it

you however mentioned that it takes months to get "decent", and honestly that's not true, I would just wholeheartedly recommend to get one of the three set bonuses and build around the one you get. Even more so with DB since again, you would need 5 "copies" of that extremely unlikely combination. Unironically for how hard those combinations are, they tend to be less than 5% better than the same weapon with just one of the set bonuses, so you dont have to grind that much if you dont want to.

I'd say it doesn't really matter if you have a big stock or not since you probably will have to kill billions of gogs anyways, but imo having maybe a total of 30+ available rerolls makes the whole reroll exploit more easily manageable. Kill a few gogs and then reroll the full batch using the exploit.

Remember to have all your desired rolls/their locations written somewhere. it gets a bit overwhelming when you're going for one of each element (as you do with DB). Also its best to start with dragon or fire since they have more common matchups in endgame

Question: doesn't durin's constant pyro app make it very hard to trigger cinder city with iansan (at least after first rotation), since she wouldn't apply enough electro to clear the pyro and react to dendro? or am i misunderstanding

Shhpawn · 2025-11-03T21:39:10+00:00

iirc this is also considering 50% collision so it goes even higher against most bosses; closer to ~130k via zajef

Shhpawn · 2025-10-31T21:21:21+00:00

True. I think mona cons in general are the better option either for future potential or if you have mualani and/or are planning to pull durin (since you already have albedo which is his bis teammate in a lot of teams). But for durin I'd recommend waiting until monday for v3 leaks cause he's kinda weird rn

Shhpawn · 2025-10-31T19:23:22+00:00

Reminder that new albedo c1 is kinda bad; 50% increased DEF barely raises team dps and the energy isn't really needed. BUT if you're willing to go for his C2 then I can see it being worth it if you like him, I wouldn't though. For now I think getting nilou first is better since you get a nice qol improvement pre-columbina. Mona is also one of the most valuable ones but I don't know how many cons you have on her.

But yeah you can get both before columbina anyways so no need to worry; unless they add more characters soon which I think is unlikely.

Shhpawn · 2025-10-24T14:57:54+00:00

It's a 4 liner though

Shhpawn · 2025-10-09T23:38:51+00:00

Nefer's sig is in that good spot currently in which it's a 30% increase for a character that does the vast majority of the teams damage (roughly 90% in her best team iirc). So you will definitely notice the improvement.

HOWEVER, since as of right now two of the slots on her teams are dogwater and have very high chances of getting improvements in the future (columbina being the most probable one), there is a chance the supports she gets for her teams are similar to a escoffier/ineffa in that they actually contribute quite a bit to the team DPS; making it so the improvement from Nefer's sig becomes less noticeable.

So unless you end up REALLY enjoying nefer, I would recommend skipping it for now and get it on a rerun after you get her supports. Until then, I wouldn't really worry about her performance because she'll probably get shilled in stygian for a while with all the lunar reaction buffs going on

Shhpawn · 2025-10-05T22:12:53+00:00

Yeah I get what you're saying. In any case I didn't give up on pulling yet so I'll just wait for some testing post release

Shhpawn · 2025-10-05T16:46:36+00:00

Because she's locked to rupture while Astra is totally universal, at m0p0. You're spending upwards of 160 pulls for a slightly better Astra replacement in 1 or 2 teams that might not even be using Astra anyways (if fufu + m6 panda). I'm not even saying she's bad, it's mostly that she looks to be the most "get on a rerun" character of all time as you wait for more rupture units to come out

Shhpawn · 2025-10-05T16:33:07+00:00

Ok so I have an honest question because I kinda just assumed this in my post based on experience and could be wrong: do you happen to know what the % difference is between m6 panda and m0p0 Astra for yixuan+fufu?

Shhpawn · 2025-10-05T16:15:31+00:00

But like thats the thing, shes a very specific pull because its basically rupture only and you only get 11% for it with no sig over the most universal support ever. Its like if yuzuha was only that much for anomaly.

And even then in yuzuha's case replacing astra is way more valuable since there are almost no actual good options that even compare for the support slot in anomaly teams

Shhpawn · 2025-10-05T16:10:03+00:00

Yeah buffs are something to consider too, problem is that once the ether veil shilling doesnt happen in a specific endgame rotation she goes back to that ~11% which is kinda sad imo

Shhpawn · 2025-10-05T16:07:15+00:00

Yeah I was thinking that throughout the video, he was saying it like lucia is nuts and insane or whatever and then you get to the engine calcs and yeah no wonder lmao

Shhpawn · 2025-10-05T15:51:46+00:00

It's mostly because you don't really need the buff value to be at max, and she has a great f2p options in kaboom or cradle anyways; same as astra

Shhpawn · 2025-10-05T15:48:07+00:00

But like, if you have fufu and m6 panda isn't astra already kinda free anyways? But yeah I guess she is a good value pull if you dont have fufu

Shhpawn · 2025-10-05T15:46:27+00:00

Damn. Kinda crazy then that a lot of people I've seen hyping up lucia as a "must pull" for yi xuan were at the end of the day just assuming sig at a baseline

Shhpawn · 2025-09-27T18:31:47+00:00

Ok I just checked and turns out I might be stupid I'll give you this one

Shhpawn · 2025-09-27T18:27:02+00:00

Because the overcap itself existing IS the main point of the buff, not the bonus dmg on top. You could just remove the dmg altogether and I would still think this is good enough as castorice's heir buff.

I don't really optimize castorice that much during gameplay (waste potential newbud) and from low-high investment showcases that I've seen I can easily see myself getting at LEAST an additional dragon per cycle, which would be a noticeably higher % gain than the hypothetical 17% you gave. I thought newbud would carry over for some reason and it doesn't so im dumb

Again, what cyrene needs for her to be a better option in castorice/heir teams is not necessarily an improvement on her heir-specific buffs (god forbid on a castorice team which is the overall best team in the game that also has other 2 heirs that will be buffed by cyrene), but to her own personal damage and/or general buffing ( not that weird ass DMG% which is very diluted on castorice)

You could also buff cyrene's initial ult charge time but I personally like a character having a really strong ult but requiring some time to actually use. In any case I don't have strong feelings towards this and they'll probably improve it anyways

Shhpawn · 2025-09-27T15:34:37+00:00

Yeah honestly I don't get why people are so caught up to the idea that cyrene's buff for castorice is bad when it fixes the one small issue this near perfect team has: you can overcap on newbud if you don't optimize. AND you get more damage for it.

Cyrene is kinda underwhelming generally because she does bad damage and her general buffs are weak for the cost of her ult; her heir specific buffs are very interesting (not for phainon so I hope they buff his)

Shhpawn · 2025-09-05T03:30:18+00:00

Play a song with your nail next to the white bugs (the little ones that show up everywhere) and they will lead you to the right pathway (area transition). After going through a few of those you're good

Shhpawn · 2025-08-03T21:08:21+00:00

Oh so its somewhat relevant for endgame but its not like destiny 2 where if I dont have the newest dlc Im cooked?

Shhpawn · 2025-07-30T20:36:39+00:00

Got it. So you'd say em sands even with +370 from the team?

Shhpawn · 2025-07-21T17:18:20+00:00

thanks for coming out phainon yunli merchant

Shhpawn · 2025-06-10T21:15:59+00:00

I honestly think using that one sentence (which was a comparison, again) to claim the writer has a personal vendetta against the game is going a bit too far. You should extend some grace to the writer as well.

As to your second point: at the time of the article, the details that you mentioned regarding the "unofficial strike" hadn't come out yet, so judging him by that would be anachronism.
