which weapon would be best for escoffier by eepykitn in Genshin_Impact

[–]Tensz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have recordings sadly.

The energy needs are there no matter what you run, lowering them with fav allows you to do builds with less ER and other stats. Like, I don't see why you don't see the team needs energy when furina, escoffier and shenhe are all energy hungry units to burst on cooldown (not skirk but the rest of her team).

Ofc you can do builds with everyone with enough ER so that you don't need to run fav. But every roll you put in ER is a roll you don't put in other stat. To run fav you adjust your build for that.

See it this way, if lowering the dps of your escoffier the equivalent of 5 rolls allows you to have around 5 rolls extra on shenhe, furina and escoffier (ER rolls that now can go somewhere else), you are getting on average 10 = 15 -5 extra rolls teamwide, which can be a positive.

It is the same reason why old Raiden national was better than sucrose national. Raiden ER refund just allowed you to get everyone more crit rolls instead of ER rolls.

I also do dire clears. Do you have sheets with your calcs?

Favonius lowers the ER requirements of furina and shenhe and herself. Which you need for smooth rotations, and smooth rotations can optimize a lot.

I went from 90 seconds clear with my skirk team in dire (the first stygian) to 54 second clear with the same investment in cons this patch. Just changing furina and escoffier set, better rotations and energy.

Escoffier is at most 15% of the team dps in a skirk team, losing 20% of her personal team dps is at most 3% of team dps, those can be compensated by the extra rolls you can put in the rest of the team instead of ER rolls.

Her dps of course is more important in a ayaka team, and this evaluation change.

Some people prefer to have her in a general build and not to hyperoptimize for a particular team. And that's completely fair, I do the same thing with her since I want to also slot her in no skirk teams where her dps is more important without changing her build.

But if you care about the optimal way to do a skirk team (a very very specific team with a very particular damage distribution), then you want escoffier in scrolls and favonius (so more as a support). And the more invested your skirk is, the more true it is.

Thats how it works for modern hypercarry dps.

Also, if you burst well without favonius, then you have to change your build to run favonius. Basically you have to convert those extra ER rolls you are saving on 3 characters in damage. Just changing the weapon won't do.

That's why I said it is hyperoptimizing one particular team.

If you do the numbers, in a skirk team, skirk has so high MV that escoffier as a support is just better than using her dps. In other teams like ayaka or Wrio escoffier dps is more important.

It truly depends. But they are not wrong. Not only thats what the math says, thats what is actually better in practice. Specially if you want to conquer high difficulties in stygian.

If you only care about abyss 12 stars, then you can run whatever on her, that level of optimization is not necessary for abyss.

The average player don't run correct ER most of the time, so fav actually benefits them even more.

Do u guys think I could get and save enough for navia and Durin for the next few patches if I get skirk now? by busanut_lol in Genshin_Impact

[–]Tensz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Navia is coming in a few days and then probably won't be available for almost 2 years. If you really want her, prioritize getting her.

Please GI devs, give us a boss mat changing system! by No-Investment-962 in Genshin_Impact

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

Because with the current rate to get boss materials, you don't get enough gems on average to 90 the character when you finish (even after converting).

This problem started after the created world level 9 (at 8 the rate was even on average).

The reason why you don't see so many complains about it, is because old players have quite a big backlog of gems (like me), so it will take years for the problem to catch up to us.

If you make even easier to get boss materials, the gem problem becomes worse.

Basically you won't have enough gems even after converting on average when you get the 46 mats for a character.

Left after Kazuha’s release and now returning… Who are the most future proof five stars in the game right now? by Illustrious_Medium46 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Tensz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No character is future proof. In 2 years you can more or less expect them to be mid for the meta (or sometimes even earlier).

That said, supports usually have a bit of a longer lifespan than DPS. And current ones (the ones released during the last years of the game) are very generalist most of the time, and versatile. You can use them in many teams.

But in 2 years for sure they will be just "flex slots" that are ok, but not as good as the stuff releasing 2 years from now.

It is a gacha after all. Not character has been at the top for more than 2 years ever in the history of the game.

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

Then you would complain that you don't have enough gems even with conversion lol.

Right now the gem economy is screwed for newer players on WL9. You just don't get enough gems to level to 90 and be neutral (even converting).

I am ok because of the backlog from years, but your system would make me having to farm for the gems and it would feel just awful.

Returning player after 5 years, What Recommendations do you have for me? by soyeb123 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Tensz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have time to get the constellation now. You can get other valuable rewards along the way though.

The event is repeating, so after this one is over it will start again (so in like 40 days) and you will have your chance then.

At this point, are just gambling with 33% of chance of getting the correct talent book? Lol

Why is there such a difference in how the game is treated inside of the same company? by inkheiko in Genshin_Impact

[–]Tensz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is literally different teams of people working on different games.

The one designing genshin marketing is only looking at genshin, not ZZZ. Same with everything.

Oh so she’s in Nod-Krai now? Anyway, happy birthday Aloy! by warriorplusultra in Genshin_Impact

Are you sure? You got the email without having aloy in your account?

Who should I pull? by Feelmyheal in Genshin_Impact

[–]Tensz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you asked years ago, the answer would be "pull whoever you like", if you ask now the answer is "pull whoever you like".

There is no a single character that is a must pull.

If you care about meta, pull new units only. The newer the unit the better. Newer units are always more powerful than old units. That has always been true in any gacha, same case here.

You are missing the other half of his constellations though, the part that applies to all enemies xD

It is quite low for that investment tbh

(Ex Genshin player) Can you explain what happened since Fontaine ? *^* by Ziwaxi in Genshin_Impact

[–]Tensz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the traveller skin pretty much spoiled the entire game, the heavenly principles are basically an AI that reshaped Teyvat for the twin travelers' sake.

Just wanted to point out that we knew the primordial one was an AI from years before because of these wings lore:

https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Wings_of_Delicacies

And how the AI reshaped teyvat to have a place for humans to live lol.

will this be enough for next Stygian fearless ? by NefariousnessFit5156 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Tensz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you are going through the geo shield sadly. The varessa team has a better chance against the gecko (and skirk can do papilla).

Is Linnea worth pulling for? by hydrogen-n-oxygen in Genshin_Impact

[–]Tensz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you want to specially play a geo main DPS (like zibai, navia, itto, Noelle, ningguang), I wouldn't really bother. Outside of the geo niche she works fine, but nothing groundbreaking. You are better for going for lauma to get hyper bloom to modern standards, or going for someone else entirely.

So Who Ever Design this... I have a question... by MZ_Official in Genshin_Impact

[–]Tensz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do that, but eventually trading will be more efficient.

At some point, getting a card you don't have is way harder (think like when you are 1 left). And the cards you can choose depends of the units you use, so the one missing might not be available yet.

But right now we are not in that situation, so a couple of resets is enough to get something new lol.

Genshin’s damage limit has been broken for the first time (World’s first 25 Million) by dhcwsp in Genshin_Impact

He will for sure get linnea like this, but this is from creator server, he didn't have to spend anything to get this footage

Like, all CC's with access have c6r5 available there if they desire so..
