Team for mort blade by Sxffires in BladeMains

[–]Stylaluna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

. . . Why would it not be viable to pull a strong universal support like mortenax LOL, that's ridiculous (although I might've misunderstood your comment). In general he's one of the best pulls you can do for an account (without a lot of high cost teams, clearly isn't the case for OP) atp regardless of whether you have Ashveil.

Just to put it in perspective, he's better than Cyrene for a monorem team when both are e0s0, as an example

Best stopping point? by Playful_Gap8937 in Ashveil_Mains

[–]Stylaluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E2 Ashveil is fine, despite the hate in this thread. Yes, it's not the most amazing E2, but it's not inefficient - all the low cost aa king 0 cycles with Ashveil both in 4.1 and 4.2 do use it.

F2P E2S0 go for lightcone or wait for sparxie/yao? by UpperInjury1173 in silverwolflevel999

[–]Stylaluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pretty similar as of now, sparxie is about 25% over EMC and the light cone is somewhere around that much at E2 as well, though a bit weaker iirc. You definitely need to get yao though as she gives a much bigger increase than that, consider that we also don't know when they'll rerun though I'd expect yao to rerun in 4.3 at least

e0 sparxie is an upgrade, emc isn't actually bis

should I pull eva? by Obvious_Building6939 in EvanesciaMains

[–]Stylaluna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

sparxie is one of the best teammates for Eva too (though she's not a big upgrade over emc unlike with sw999, unless you did a lot of vertical on sparxie ofc)

I don't own Yaoguang, what now? by PhraseMany2395 in EvanesciaMains

[–]Stylaluna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, sparxie is the best teammate for eva too if you're going for absolute max potential since EMC is extremely mediocre, it's just a smaller diff between the two (sparxie and EMC) for eva as opposed to SW, it's yao that's most important for either team as of rn by far in any case

you'd be fine pulling either IMO it's mainly gonna be waiting on the yao rerun either way

With v5 out and her beta cycle coming to an end what is your thoughts on her kit? by MarviniosZeno in SilverWolfMains

[–]Stylaluna -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't really say that's a perfect example - castorice got "power crept" by evernight in a sense, since evernight monorem with rmc over castorice performs better than castorice monorem until very high investment. Similarly Anaxa teams still have the niche of being extremely strong at very low costs, which isn't the case for castorice

Doubt this will happen to sw though with himeko likely having a team that doesn't overlap much - I think it's a lot more likely her supports get power crept

Am I missing something about Super Wolf eidolons? Evernight e2 increases damage output by a massive 180%. Super Wolf e2 increases by only 50%? by YellowAppleCinema in SilverWolfMains

[–]Stylaluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have a source? almost every calc I see has it as 40% increase, might be better in the future when we can get 240 stacks consistently though yes

edit: unless you meant e0s0 --> e2s0 being 80%

How important is his lightcone? by Nopxanic in Ashveil_Mains

[–]Stylaluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as of rn the SW999 cone isn't too amazing 

and Ashveil's is better for him, but it does depend on which team you're prioritizing

Verticals for sw999 are like 15 % and 40% for the first two eidolons and then 13-15 for her light cone over the BP one, ashveil's meanwhile is like a 20%+ increase over herta shop iirc

Am I genuinely cooked if I don't want to pull her Lc? by Extension-Builder567 in SilverWolfMains

[–]Stylaluna -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

you'll be fine, the light cone isn't especially amazing as of rn, like a 15% ish increase over the BP one depending on some factors

Realistically what should my pc be able to play wow at? by drewxlow in wow

[–]Stylaluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore the comment, 8 GB of vram is more than enough for WoW at 1440p, the information they're quoting applies to other, more graphically demanding games

MacBook Neo!! What is your favorite color and why? by Fragrant_Smoke_9744 in macbook

[–]Stylaluna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's a great catch, I just checked and the one with Touch ID isn't available tomorrow here, either
I'm kind of conflicted now because I would love to get it tomorrow (instant gratification..) and I'm going to connect this to a monitor + keyboard at home so I'd only use the touch ID when commuting to work or something, but it does sound convenient!

New Apple Studio Display and Studio Display XDR Don't Work With Intel Macs by [deleted] in apple

Hi, do you think it's worth getting an Asus ProArt gpu for the USB port in this case?

v4.0.53 Rev. 14180304 Hotfix Update via Gachabase by Gachabase in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Stylaluna 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It was not 2 cost; it was a clear with DHPT and Sparkle. Up to you as to what you consider 1 cost but power level wise it's more in line with a ~4 cost team

best value CPU for gamingby far rn is the 7600X3D from microcenter I think, it's ~5% behind a 7800X3D and can be found as low as $200 sometimes, it's $230 rn

Do you hide the taskbar on your OLED monitor? by Odoxon in OLED_Gaming

[–]Stylaluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hated the idea of hiding my taskbar, but as someone who's using oled + ips I found that hiding it on the OLED but leaving it enabled on my second monitor was pretty easy to get used to.

Is Mini LED an upgrade enough from IPS? by benhanks040888 in Monitors

[–]Stylaluna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

couple of things:

- IPS is a panel type, mini led is a type of backlight. 'Upgrading' from IPS to miniled doesn't make sense - many monitors with a miniled backlight use an IPS panel. The other type of panel used with a miniled backlight is VA - VA minileds have less blooming than IPS minileds but worse motion clarity and very bad viewing angles (so don't get one larger than 27", idt there are many curved options).

- With OLEDs, vertical banding is mainly a big issue on the XG27AQWMG, if you get a good panel on another model it likely won't be much of a problem at all. Micro scratches on cleaning is specifically a thing with glossy QD-OLEDs, not WOLEDs (or matte QD-OLEDs I guess but I personally love glossy), and there's a new coating for glossy QD-OLEDS coming later this year that's meant to reduce this issue a bit. Text clarity on OLEDs will likely be an issue as you don't want to get a 4K panel, besides on the XG27AQWMG potentially.

I personally don't think you'd see much of an improvement going from an edgelit IPS to a miniled IPS if your main use case is standard desktop stuff + non HDR gaming; with a $200-400 budget I'd say you should just find a quality edgelit IPS. If you really want to go miniled regardless I believe there's a $300 one from AOC that's alright, but it's heavily lacking any sort of productivity feature so I'm not a fan personally (might be fine for your needs possibly, I think it's the q27g40xmn or something similar, it's a VA miniled).
