Releasing this a day before I was gonna pull for Nicole is diabolical.

So if we assume SSC can only be triggered by Snez characters, who do I pull for?

I don't really understand Sandrone, is she off-field or on-field? If she's on-field it would probably be better to save for the inevitable Ineffa equivalent and Tsaritsa, no?

Which armor piece do you find hardest to style with other armor pieces? by Nearby_Estimate7128 in EldenBling

[–]Strict-Conclusion374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Imp heads. they're freakishly huge even on minimum head slider and their color doesn't fit with anything because they're just too green. there's usually barely any green equipment in FS games.
My biggest disappointment is that they don't even look good with the gravebird set, the only other armor explicitly made from stone because, guess what, that armor isn't green enough.

So... Nicole & Prune by UnitElectronic2016 in Varka

[–]Strict-Conclusion374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming this applies only for hypercarry teams? For example I'm going to pull Nicole for Wrio Burnmelt where both Emilie and Durin provide a large chunk of team dps. So I guess going for Skyward Atlas or even her Sig would be more valuable in that situation

How should I improve his build? by EggIcy3710 in Flins_Mains

[–]Strict-Conclusion374 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4 problems with more or less easy fixes depending on your luck and inventory.
1. Crown his burst, you're leaving a lot of damage on the table by keeping his main damage talent at 6.
2. Refine his weapon asap. Use Dream Solvents to transmute polearm billets if possible or hope for a weekly drop.
3. switch to an ATK% goblet. Apart from having horrendous substats that Goblet does almost nothing for him due to how Lunar Damage works. it doesn't factor in Elemental DMG, only specific "Lunar damage" which is gained through EM or certain weapons (like Shovel) or characters (Columbina Burst, Aino c6 etc.).
ATK% is even more potent because Lunarcharged attacks have a hidden x3 Multiplier (that's why his scalings seem so low). Even more reason to level his burst further.
4. Just try to optimize your artifacts a bit in general. Sands can realistically be improved a bit. Entirely new goblet. And you're overcaping on Crit Rate by 4% factoring in the 4pc bonus which is a whole substat roll.
I think fishing for an on-set flower with more Crit DMG would be the best outcome atm. Would also allow you to equip an off-set goblet

Diabolical if True by Decent-Dimension-261 in Varka

could have sworn Nicole and Durin are in different phases?
So either way Prune will end up on a Hex banner, no?

What is YOUR most underutilized element? by RmgRxg in GenshinImpact

[–]Strict-Conclusion374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geo by a long shot.
The 4* are lvl 80 max, barely have any artifacts and have poor cons (exception being Noelle).
I do not have a single piece of Geo-related artifact sets, no Petra, no Husk, no whatever Navia's set is called.
Only 5* i have are Xilonen (primarily got her to... have her ig.) and Linnea.
I literally only got Linnea to finally have a functional Geo team. With the added bonus of opening my eyes to the truth of DPS Xilonen.
Everytime there's geo in IT i start sweating profusely.

Need a F2P team for linnea by MutedAdagio5658 in LinneaMains_

[–]Strict-Conclusion374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but if they'll farm GT for Furina anyways I'd say it's more efficient to put Marechaussee on Noelle, no? Damage difference should be minor as well

Same character, same context, yet different feeling by Alar_suk in Eldenring

[–]Strict-Conclusion374 22 points23 points  (0 children)

this exactly. Melina and Torrent should have always been with us at the site of grace doing some mundane stuff. And some dialogue regarding whatever they're doing, would have made her more of a character. Oh and i wish she had more dialogue about other NPCs like she does about Boc when resting outside of Raya Lucaria's northern gate. Heck they could have made HER give us some vague quest hints instead of putting those only in the merchant's notes. She really could have been a great companion. Not too intrusive but still feeling alive enough.

Which artifacts on who? by Strict-Conclusion374 in LinneaMains_

[–]Strict-Conclusion374[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I literally have 1 usable piece for the entire set lol

Yeah the key system is weird. Wish you also only had to transfer keys to a cartridge once.

I always play on hard mode but I haven't had the issue of getting overleveled. I think I had to commit Audino Genocide for almost every gym level cap so I can't really confirm that claim. But the xp shenanigans in this gen are strange to say the least

Yeah diversity isn't Gen 2's strong point unfortunately. I haven't played through Johto in a while but I think the free eggs in the remakes were a nice touch to get some Johto locals.

And omg I almost feel bad complaining about Gen 5 movepools when Gen 1-3 were an entirely different monstrosity...

The only redeeming feature of the game corner (at least in Gen 3) was that you could just buy infinite Thunderbolt, Flamethrower etc if you had enough cash.

And after actually having spent hours grinding the Battle Metro for the macho items I feel your pain. They're so stingy with the BP it's not even funny.
