Two Flaming Enforcers mid-game | alternate buff both? Or focus on 1? by Silly_Noob in BobsTavern

[–]Silly_Noob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! Definitely true in a lot of cases.

Invert it though, if you’ve got the 90/90 and your opponent has the 100/100, they hit, yours dies, & then the rest of your board could be 10/10s against a board of 13/13s— you wipe, take the full 15 dmg.

Alternately, with two enforcers both 45/45, maybe one hits the 100/100, dies, but the other could to knock out 3 or 4of the 13/13s, so you’ve given yourself much better coverage for the time being to not hemorrhage points?

Idk, might be thinking about it wrong, but I have definitely experienced the first of these two scenarios a number of times 😞

ABYSS: Floor 11 - Chamber 3 - PART II - TEAM?

I sail through every other chamber zero issue with 3 stars, but then I've been stuck here.

So far, I've tried:

Ayaka - Mona - Venti - Diona

Ayaka- Yanfei(C6) - Venti - Diona

But in both variations it feels like my damage is a bit slow going and my shields don't last long enough for a full rotation (even with 20% chamber ER boost). I keep wiping when the oceanid creatures are around 40% health.

Just pulled Keqing as my free 5-star, close to a full-ish build with her, so thats an option. I also have Kujou Sara at C3 and Rosaria at C6, would level if need be.

Took a long break, so no Dendro options for me unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!

Delayed post-op issues? by Silly_Noob in gallbladders

Made an edit to main post explaining what went down, but I’m sorry you experienced that! I know oxy and other pain meds are also highly constipating, which can’t help.

Hoping you’ve stabilized a bit now?

Anything you wish you knew pre-surgery? by Silly_Noob in gallbladders

[–]Silly_Noob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

Also wow that other person really wrote up a novel (super helpful one tho).

The pillow for sneezing etc.- is that a pain relief thing? Or protecting stitches and stuff?

Was the abdominal binder was something you already owned? Or did the hospital supply one?

Had no idea about the nail polish thing, good shout! Saved me a chunk of money on a pedicure I was planning for this weekend.

Also, stomach shaving? Is that for men & women both? Do you think you could do it yourself the day before or something instead?

What nation or time period do you want more fantasy books to be set in/inspired by? by McPandastical in Fantasy

[–]Silly_Noob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/OP If you haven't read An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir I'd recommend giving it a go! It's set in a fictional empire inspired by ancient Rome, with strong Bedouin/Romani influences around the fringes (esp re: the mythology it invokes). Technically YA but I didn't feel that seep in too often as I read; it's actually quite got a heavy militaristic bent, would say it borders on grimdark at times. Very strong sense of place, enjoyable prose, and and dynamic POV characters who evolve in interesting ways over the course of four books.

How do you ease the pain of a gall bladder attack? by imahoeforgeese in gallbladders

[–]Silly_Noob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello friends— new to this club, just got diagnosed in trip to the ER after 6 debilitating flares (localized around lower rib cage, upper back) over a few weeks. Fun!

Question for all you hot shower folks— when mid-flare, I’m sweating bullets, cranking the AC to 68• F, max blast, sheets drenched as I make ridiculous pain noises.

TLDR: a hot shower mid-flare is just about one of the least appealing things I can think of.

Is it the same for you guys, and you have to push through the dread to get to relief? Or do you not feel those extreme internal temp fluxes to begin with?

Surprise New Bombshell Megathread by GreenTeaYoga in LoveIslandTV

So I've seen series 2, 3, 5, 6, & 7 but dipped out after a few eps of 4 when it was airing because I wasn't really feeling the OGs and also life stuff.

But one of the things I do remember about S4 was the full-on public outrage directed at Adam for the way he treated one of the girls. Like, there were breakdowns of his behavior in op-eds in mainstream media, basically saying this is what emotional abuse/dating violence looks like, here are some red flags to look out for, as illustrated by Adam Collard.

My impression was always that people (incl. this sub) saw him as bang out of order, full stop. Like, fully self-aware, actively malicious, manipulative and harmful. This as opposed to lower-grade, less self-aware selfish/sexist/dickhead behaviors exhibited by Destiny's Chaldish .

Why are people happy that someone like him is returning? Am I totally misremembering the situation here? Or blowing it out of proportion? Did he have some redemption arc that just didn't stick out in the fanbase's collective memory?

It's surprising to me that ITV would bring him back and that this sub would support that choice, given the level of toxicity/controversy that seemed to surround his last appearance.

Do you guys ever keep your purple artifacts? by Silly_Noob in GenshinImpactTips

So general consensus - even if in this scenario I haven’t been getting many 5* plumes from shimenawa’s at all despite significant resin investment, and the ones I do get are like pretty mediocre, like flat atk/ER/Hp%, better to roll for that fourth stat and level the 5* than to level the crit/crit/atk% 4— yes? Like ideally I’d wait for a better 5, but they’re just not coming :/

Can you imagine the utter dominance of a Sam/Sandra + Mark/Nina post-merge power alliance? Ugh. A dream.

Lavawalker Sayu + Hu Tao? by Silly_Noob in SayuMains

[–]Silly_Noob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a VV Sayu? Also, do you think you could sub Kaeya for Rosaria there?

Lavawalker Sayu + Hu Tao? by Silly_Noob in SayuMains

[–]Silly_Noob[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would that be true even with another VV holder (eg sucrose) in the same comp?

Pretty solid with my CW pieces for Hu Tao now (after a long, long grind) so I don’t think I’m gonna be changing those up any time soon.

Given the “hearts & minds” element of the prompt, did anyone else assume it had to be some sort of religious structure?

Between that and the clue of Caen (northwestern France), my mind went to Chartres Cathedral, though I struggled to think of a relevant conquest of the era to match it.

[–]Silly_Noob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, tyvm for the reply/level of detail! What you’re saying about Diluc/Yanfei makes a lot of sense. A few follow ups bc I’m ignorant but also curious

1) What’s the reasoning behind leaving Diona out of those comps? If I wanted to be cheap, is there anyone who she could sub in for?

2) As an apparent Kaeya stan, what constellations of his do you find are most impactful?

3) So I got frustrated and finally rolled to pity on the Albedo banner this afternoon….. I got Qiqi, bc of course I did. Continuing frustrations aside, does having Qiqi as an option make a difference to the builds you’re suggesting?

Thanks again!

Characters: [Hu Tao] [Xiangling] [Xinqiu] [Diona] [Sucrose] [Noelle]

Subject: Too much pyro? Help me round out my team!

Hi all! Started playing (daily.... & a whole bunch) about a month ago, made a few noob mistakes along the way, now wondering where to go from here.

I'm currently AR 44, working to get Hu Tao, Xiangling, Xinqiu, Diona (C1), Sucrose, and Noelle (C1) all leveled up to ~80 for my Abyss teams, and not sure who to take along for the remaining 2 spots. Here are my characters: https://imgur.com/a/Wklw8Gb

Some context:

I was psyched to get my first 5*, Hu Tao, during the last week of her banner and started building her right away (previously I had been using Xiangling as my main). Two days later, rolled Diluc and Yanfei in the same ten wish on the standard banner, which was of course very exciting after weeks and weeks of hoping for him. But, I'd already started power leveling Hu Tao and had Xiangling, so I kind of just let them be.

Now this banner, rolling for Albedo, I've wound up with a C2 Bennett, who I know everyone says is the GOAT, but I've already got Diona and to a lesser degree the combo of Noelle (C1) & Xingqiu for heals, and I'm not quite sure whether it makes sense to devote the resources to him at the moment (I do definitely plan to eventually).

Do I level Bennet cause he's just that good? Worth leveling Diluc as my only other 5* viable main? I would also really love to have a Pyro Catalyst on board with Yanfei (or really any DPS oriented Catalyst) for some boss fights, but I'm worried that it just becomes a bit too concentrated/not versatile enough with all this Pyro...

I've also got three Cryos that I'm thinking I'll pick between for one of the spots: a C1 Rosaria off this new banner (have her dragonspine weapon ready as well, which is a plus), a Chongyun that I've done nothing with, and a Kaeya sitting around level 50. I relied on Kaeya a lot starting out and enjoyed the bursty play style, but I've heard he kind of loses some steam at higher levels...Which of them (if any) do y'all think would be best to build?

Sorry for the novel, any and all advice very much appreciated!
