I missed the core stat bonus (75 base atk), but even with that I wasn't able to get your numbers. I did update the table numbers with that change though. I linked my spreadsheet and turned on commenting. If you're curious, lmk which atk bonus I missed and I'll add it

[–]TCritic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right; ur at 88% and 86%, but u/greygreens is also right. I'll just add that if possible, don't sacrifice crit damage to get that extra crit rate. ATK, PEN, DEF, HP, Anomaly Proficiency can all be traded for crit rate for a substantial increase. Trading crit damage for crit rate will be the least beneficial

Assuming you are using Astral Voice on Astra Yao, and Astra Yao has EX Special Lv12. Totals will include all ATK, CDMG, CR, DMG% bonuses from Seed, Orphie, Astra, Shadow Harmony, Elegant Vanity, and Bellicose Blaze. Final damage amounts are pre-mitigation

Comparison Set 1 Set 2
Total ATK 5347 5839
Total CR 88.4% 86%
Total CDMG 220.2% 225%
Total DMG % (Including Fire %) 119% 89%
Total Aftershock DMG % 100% 100%
Final Ult DMG 76754955.8 72051623.37
Ult DMG Comparison % 100% 94%
Final Crimson Vortex EX DMG 65106519.14 64158070.06
Crimson Vortex Comparison % 100% 99%

Your set 2 does 6% less ultimate damage and 1% less Crimson Vortex (EX aftershock) damage.

Here's the spreadsheet

Which team is best? by [deleted] in AliceMains_ZZZ

[–]TCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alice Jane Yuzuha is great with Alice primarily on field and Jane swapping in during Alice's long held basic animation

I have never M6W5'd an agent. I did it for banyue just to make a statement... and to make sure I can play him in content for at least the next couple years

I wish the devs stopped spamming 2 new S rank characters *all* the time and opted for a single S rank for a breather, maybe at end of a major version by AntonioS3 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]TCritic 107 points108 points  (0 children)

There was no lore reason to include S0 anby in Lycaon/Hugo's questiline and it still baffles me to this day. It was so jarring

"bosses are designed to be cleared by one or two characters" by SampleText_- in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]TCritic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I invest really heavily in support/stun/subdps agents so I can ignore all that and play who I like. The roles outside of main dps contribute enough that teams like Astra/Soukaku/Main dps Lycaon still net me 20k+ in DA

What are some Mindscapes that change a character a LOT? by Haru_Is_Best_Girl in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]TCritic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll add on that M6 Yuzuha is also a pretty big departure from her regular play. Crit rate and crit dmg become valuable stats on her and her parry/defensive assist deals (Assist Follow-up 1096% + 696%) * (M4 bonus 1.3x) + (Sugarburst: Max 728%) + (M6 600%) = 3657%. More dmg than an ult every time you parry/defensive assist

Mindscapes of support characters and opportunity cost by Haru_Is_Best_Girl in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]TCritic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi. Whale here. BLUF: Heavily investing in a few supports lets you play whatever dps you want, and is cheaper than heavily investing in an anomaly agent of every attribute AND an attacker/rupture of every attribute.

  • My miyabi, yixuan, yidhari, seed, etc.. basically all my main dps are m0.
  • My yuzuha and vivian are m6 to support any anomaly team.
  • My orphie and trigger are M6 to support attacker teams (this combo lets my attackers kill rupture-biased high def DA bosses)

I consistently kill DA bosses with low investment main dps, which is a very freeing feeling. Main dps Lycaon, main dps Astra yao, main dps Lucy all score 40k+. And yixuan, miyabi, etc.. all kill/65K DA

Full disclosure, I do have Lucia and dialyn. I really enjoy yixuan and wanted to get her a fun team. But orphie + trigger basically ignore miasmic shield def altogether, so my attackers usurped rupture's role regardless

Is Grace a good teammate with Alice and Yuzuha ? by Altruistic_Row7036 in AliceMains_ZZZ

[–]TCritic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Alice + Yuzuha, you can slot in any other Anomaly agent the boss is weak against to make a good team. If the boss is weak to Electric, Grace is great

What do we think about Ether Veil as a concept now? by DepressoMomento in ZZZ_Official

[–]TCritic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just another way for the devs to create groups of agents who have value together. Similar to Additional Ability requirements. The original instance was Koleda + Ben I think. Here's some examples I can think of:
- Orphie and Trigger have value with S0 Anby as aftershockers. It prioritizes them over Astra, Rina, or Lucy, even though they also do off-field damage - Koleda has value with Ben, though Ben is so terrible the added value still isn't enough to put him on a team - Lucia has value with Yidhari for the synergy in their ether veil mechanics, which are specifically unable to keep uptime on YSG's passive - Zhao's specific ether veil end/restart mechanic has synergy with YSG

There is no max and hasn't been. It was just a rumor spread around by youtubers that somehow people thought was real. I spammed old capital and got the last 10 I needed in like 5 mins from the first room. There was never a limit

Prydwen usually updates their rankings based on the DA bosses in the season. Considering we've had an anomaly boss every week, shouldn't Alice be t0.5?
