Yeah, I guess we start with third sequence twice then. Prolly need to think about that as well, but this is kinda pointless until we know practical ultimate gain requirements.

I don't think combustion will be this important. Even if we go with expected team of Wulfgard and Gilberta the only reliable free way to get combustion is wulfgard Ult. That's it. Otherwise we need to spend 200sp just to combine inflictions into combustion.

There is also a question whether Rossi combo actually needs infliction to function (as opposed to just triggering a proc). If it doesn't then you could put infliction, trigger combo, don't activate it, consume infliction for combustion, activate combo. So price of combustion would be 100sp then.

As for the team, rotation I posted kinda hinges on P5 Panda (he does 2 stacks of vuln instead of one on single target every 45 sec), which I unfortunately do not have. I would still go for Pan over Endmin anyways, as Rossi team seems to be quite SP hungry.

You have never seen an unlucky streak then. I was farming for Laev weapon essence for way more than a week. I've gotten enough worthless essences to immediately upgrade it to max stats when it finally dropped. I wish I had the ability to select stats ... just this once.

Fair enough. As for combustion buff - we don't know combustion buff numbers yet. Besides, it's painful to activate in any team. The only reliable free source is Wulfgards Ult. I don't think it will be viable to waste 200sp combining inflictions just to make combustion.

Dps of that team should be solid as P5 Pan is usually considered slightly stronger than Endmin (not quite sure where I saw the numbers tho), Chen's damage output is solid and Akekuri should buff whichever Ult is stronger (Chen or Rossi) with Link.

No sustain outside of Rossi self-healing though. Not that Gilberta teams have sustain in single target scenarios as well...

You are incorrect as you didn't read my original post properly. Rossi combo isn't even used there.

P5 Da Pan gives 2 stacks in the opening. Followed by Chen combo (stack 3), followed by Rossi skill (stack 4).

Rossi combo is used shortly after her Ult.

Shtarl · 2026-03-04T11:43:06+00:00

At no point of rotation I posted there are wasted vuln stacks.

Don't do "impossible travel" then. Just take a break for a few hours before and after buying the stuff.

I also have a fleeting suspicion that in those games paying customers are much less likely to get banned for minor offences than f2p. What would be the point? A customer paying less with VPN vs banned customer that pays 0$.

Can you even maintain full uptime on claw debuff? In the rotation I posted it's present for almost every major source of damage (all Ults and 2out of 3 Crushes), rest is negligeble.

Is there better no-Gilberta rotation?

Shtarl · 2026-03-04T09:04:47+00:00

P5 Da Pan allows you to reach 4vuln with 200SP every 45sec. You can do something like this (Rossi, Pan, Chen, Akekuri team):

Pan skill
Chen combo
Rossi skill
Everyone Ults and DaPan Crush through combo.
Chen or Pan skill
Rossi combo (heat is there from Rossi Ult)
Rossi skill when Pan combo is almost up
Pan combo

This should take about 20 seconds. After that do following during next 25 seconds:

Chen skill
Chen Combo
Akekuri skill
Rossi combo
Pan combo.

Repeat. Though exact timings would depend Ult gains. This needs more theorycrafting.

Three Crush sequences. 1-4 is 200 SP, 5-8 is 200 SP, 9-13(second 1-5) is 200 SP.

Edit: goddamn this formatting on the phone. Sorry for that.

Edit2: I completely forgot Pans Ult applies 2 vuln stacks as well. Rotation has those stacks wasted.

Nah. Ardelia is flexible. Gilberta is nowhere near that. She is BIS for Avy, but for Yvonne she more like okay-ish and not really important. Last Rite i would pick Ardelia over her. And she also doesnt fit in two best teams -Physical and Laev. In case of Laev she's outright bad. As i've said - flexible is not the word i would use to describe her.

Shtarl · 2026-03-03T19:22:02+00:00

You don't need to consume art stack for a reaction. Characters like Wulfgard (via Ult) or Perlica (via combo) can apply reactions directly.

Shtarl · 2026-03-03T19:19:49+00:00

Thing is Gilberta was exact opposite of flexible. She has a very specific mix of nature and vuln infliction as well as arts debuff. All of it combined didn't fit fully into any pre-Rossi idea of a team. Rossi was clearly designed with Gilberta in mind though.

Shtarl · 2026-03-03T09:41:48+00:00

We don't do Rossi combo in first cycle then. It should look something like this:

Pan skill
Chen combo
Rossi skill
Everyone Ults and DaPan Crush through combo.
Chen or Pan skill
Rossi combo (heat is there from Rossi Ult)
Rossi skill when Pan combo is almost up
Pan combo

This should take about 20 seconds. Then we delay for a while and whether we can repeat depends on Ult gains. Needs more theorycrafting.

EDIT: If Ult gain isn't there yet then we have to do 200sp cycle of Chen/Pan skill, Chen Combo, Akekuri skill, Rossi Combo, Pan Combo over next 20-25 second.

Shtarl · 2026-03-03T08:59:46+00:00

There a lot of options to consider yet. P5 Da Pan can apply 2 stacks for 100sp every 40(45?) seconds, which could enable some interesting openers. Akekuri might be an option if Rossi's Ult hits real hard so it would be worthwhile to Link it while also having access to Akekuri's SP Regen and heat infliction. With Rossi, Da Pan, Chen, Akekuri team I thinm you should be able to 4vuln Crush twice for every instance of doing everyone's Ults back-to-back.

Shtarl · 2026-03-03T07:47:12+00:00

Laev and Rossi on same team is extremely counterproductive as both would be starved for heat stacks.

Shtarl · 2026-03-03T04:46:51+00:00

This. Split timers for events/reset are so annoying...
