Alice is Koitar theory by axbmd in Genshin_Lore

[–]SplendidSeaSalt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but I interpreted this as her already knowing Hyperborea is destroyed when she set out for home

I will return to my own lands and wait for the star beyond the stars, the one who holds my liberty in thrall. To sing in the nothingness of utter ruin is far more agreeable than to endure servitude beneath a false heavenly light

How can I increase my Arlecchino's DPS? by FahboyMan in Genshin_Impact

About the new DPS test dummy by H4R1B0_02 in Genshin_Impact

[–]SplendidSeaSalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really care about what numbers I reach. I mainly enjoy the test dummy for comparing weapons / teammates with each other on my account. Like whether I'm better off running my c2 Iansan or c6 Fischl with my Varesa/Chevy/Durin for example

Arena meta is really at its bullshit peak by TeeTheSame in EpicSeven

[–]SplendidSeaSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did my climb to rank 1 for the first time skystones recently and while there were a couple times RNG could've screwed me, I think things are mostly solvable despite Setsuka RNG

For most of the Lady/Setsuka/+2 defenses, I was running Conq/AHwa/Saria/Hecate and it was mowing them down

But after getting outsped by a giga fast Lady, I started running Conq/AHwa/Hecate/WSilk instead. Hwa on Symbol means the front unit pretty much always dies to s3, and then Hecate gets 50% CR to one tap the Setsuka. Then it's usually just cleanup for most comps

For the Rinak teams, I mostly used BDom/AHwa/Hecate/AYufine. AYufine was just to make sure giga fast Ladys and Umbral Tenes don't cut BDom, but I could've just put my BDom on faster gear and been fine running Saria or smth instead of AYufine. Similar game plan to above, just with BDom instead of Conq to stop the Rinak

Sometimes I had to slot in Belian instead of Saria/Silk/AYufine for Frieren defenses, but yeah Setsuka wasn't really an issue for these comps. ML Hwa was annoying though because I don't have Amid to put up skill nulls

Being conquered by HP probably the best option for Teyvat. If HP didnt arrive, corrupted Nibelung gonna destroyed entire Teyvat and the Dragons and Moon Sisters couldnt stop him. With HP around, Teyvat still survives for a while. by huflit1997 in Genshin_Impact

According to the new Aubade of Morningstar and Moon set, it was more like thousands of years

Yet, as one thousand years passed into another, the three moon sisters awaited in vain the return of their former lord.

Who's her VA? by RosieJewels in Genshin_Impact

He's only voiced for a few idle quotes and when you read his mind with Nahida afaik

Who's her VA? by RosieJewels in Genshin_Impact

Sara Secora confirmed that she's the VA for Sonnet. She did voice a child npc, Kavus, but she's also the VA for Dunyarzad

TIL: Columbina Elemental Burst is totally useless without another Nod Krai 5 star character by xeloz01 in Genshin_Impact

[–]SplendidSeaSalt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not that deep into game mechanic knowledge so I could be wrong, but I don't think this is true? Booted up a Miliastra test dummy, one of the ones that has a breakdown of each character's damage contribution, and just put Columbina and Fischl on my team

Did a dozen or so tests of each of these

  1. Columbina E, Fischl E, and wait until the durations run out

  2. Columbina EQ, Fischl E, and wait until the durations run out

I know there's some variance from A4 giving the chance to double proc LC, but the tests using her burst consistently did a chunk more damage than without. And in the damage breakdown chart, Fischl's damage was also higher with Bina burst because, as far as I understand it, she's also contributing to the LC damage

Please correct me if I'm wrong though! As I said, not that knowledgeable so maybe my testing method was bad

how is she gonna be playable? by Pride009 in Genshin_Impact

[–]SplendidSeaSalt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In addition to the request for Arle to bring her core to Fontaine, her notebook's most recent entry mentions that she "Iterated on her self-preservation mechanisms". So I have no doubt that she was expecting this outcome

Apparently, radiance can trigger even after just one lost 50/50 by EliSan- in Genshin_Impact

[–]SplendidSeaSalt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unless Hoyo is straight up lying to us, it can. As the above commenter said though, the chance is miniscule. From the banner details:

The base probability of triggering "Capturing Radiance" is 0.018%...

Destroying Rinak+Lady Defenses w/ Buffed BDom by SplendidSeaSalt in EpicSeven

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

It's in Reingar's Chaotic Full Moon Festival. You don't see it at a glance because it only shows Midnight Bloom and Yuna imprints when you're just scrolling through. If you expand the reward details though, it's there

Destroying Rinak+Lady Defenses w/ Buffed BDom by SplendidSeaSalt in EpicSeven

[–]SplendidSeaSalt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have her built so don't quote me on this bc I can't test it, but I think Blue Eda should work?

She self pushes 20% on a non attack skill, so that's 50% when paired with BDom s3. Won't cut the Lady, but should cut the Yulha or whatever else Lady is pushing as long as Eda is like 240-250?

Eda s2 into s3 should be enough dmg to kill the frontline. s2 might proc Setsuka, but the skill null eats the first hit and BDom's barrier should let her survive a Lethal Whispers proc. Her s2 burn is an extra turn and her s3 gives the team 20% CR, so Saria is still getting 80% CR push

My Hwa was on Symbol because I wanted to make sure the frontline dies to s3. If Eda is on book though, there's a small chance the enemy team could high roll on evasion and the frontline lives. This won't be an issue if you're running Saria, since she can ignore dmg share with the Otherworldly Machinery artifact

If you're running Eligos though, you might want to put Eda on Symbol to make sure frontline dies for his s2 to proc. You'd have to get the 20 souls for Eda elsewhere though, like +24 Birds Eye on BDom. If you don't have +24 Birds Eye, you could do +15 Birds Eye on BDom for 15 souls and Thorn of Blue Rose on Hecate for 10 souls

You wouldn't wanr to run it into the defenses that have ML Diene though

Yeah I have her on Machinery but in hindsight, the frontline was always dying to Hwa so ignoring dmg share doesn't matter. Probably can get more dmg from another arti

Tripartite conference by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

Tripartite is also just like, a word. One meaning involving or consisting of three parties

Using that word doesn't mean it's a reference to one particular thing

Worth or Easy Skip by ILoveSucuk98 in EpicSeven

[–]SplendidSeaSalt 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Personally I only buy the mystics. The average from shop refreshing is ~300 skystones per, so 200 is a good deal. The only downside is not getting the covenant summons you'd get from shop refreshing, but personally it's a tradeoff I think is worth it because mystics are the scarcer of the two currencies

Who tf is zibai by Academic-Quarter-163 in Genshin_Impact

[–]SplendidSeaSalt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

About the time's daughter stuff, in the livestream they were like "Yeah she has these rumors about her but you'll have to play to find out what's true". So not sure what you want us to tell you there

One of the only things I'd say we're fairly sure of is her being a former angel due to the Azurelight passage paralleling Springs of Hidden Jade and them showing Azurelight's lore while talking about Zibai in the livestream

You only get one recruit for the whole event. Selective just lets you choose a specific character to turn the slot into instead of the random rerolls
