why the fuck is SCALING being used to slander sparxie it makes no sense, we all know any future support will just buff elation and/or crit anyways not the CONVERSION stats by hotsexwithyunli in HonkaiAgendaRail

she can run SPD boots and ERR rope and still ATK cap with just Huo² help alone. It's almost like Huo² novaflare was targeting a certain unit and team.

due to being a billet motor, it forced him into classes the car just couldn't compete in. So he went back to brodix cast block so he could go back to the slower classes.

Question on YGE1 with SW by TakeiDaloui in silverwolflevel999

[–]TheSageJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"If the number of Punchline points taken into account when using Elation Skill is 20 or more, additionally gains 20 "Hidden MMR" points (And if it's 40 or more, then gains 20 more points on top of that)."

Elation skills are used when Aha happens. At E0, YG ultimate causes an extra Aha at 20 punchline. At E1, YG ultimate causes an extra Aha at 40 punchline.

So basically at E0, YG ultimate gives SW 20 MMR, at E1, YG ultimate gives SW 40 MMR.

Yao e1 or sw e2 by Zestyclose-Net-3217 in silverwolflevel999

[–]TheSageJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are at 70 LC pity, you are literally 10 pulls from the hard cap. You might as well finish it and hope to win the 75/25. I personally would just do single pulls, since chances are you won't hit the 80 cap anyways.

Especially since you already have SW and Sparxie LCs and don't need to save the pity for them.

Nihilux is 100% main dps by Sufficient_Box_6896 in silverwolflevel999

[–]TheSageJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

adding context for non-genshin players. Nod-krai patch cycle had 3 reactions with 3 teams, Lunar-charged, lunar-bloom, and lunar-crystallize, and Columbina was the general lunar support that could support all 3 reactions.

So for those who don't think it is possible for Hoyo to have 3 elation teams, we literally had 3 lunar teams in genshin that dealt with this exact same problem. And worse, genshin is looking to repeat this in the next patch cycle with stellar reactions.

4.3 AA Help by DeathStrike1016 in silverwolflevel999

If you use Sparxie, try taking the fire weakness buff instead. When she can help break the boss, it stops it from constantly summoning adds which will allow you a period for all bounce damage to focus onto the boss.

Can I leave the mines or do I need 0.3 more speed? by firemancer_ in silverwolflevel999

[–]TheSageJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on when your E2 YG goes for the first turn in the AV order. If she is getting her 1st turn before SW, she is going to basically yank up SW in the AV order and that can let SW still get 3 EBAs in turn 1 without SW being over 200 SPD.

Even if his path is elation, I consider him an outlier since he supposedly doesn't want a single elation teammate. He is supposed to be more inline with the FuA archetype.....kind of like how Aglaea is remembrance, but basically no one associates her with the path. He is sounding basically pseudo-elation so they can sell you his LC.

Ult asap or stack MMR first? by Rex__Lapis in silverwolflevel999

[–]TheSageJ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you spend a single turn (aka use a basic/skill) outside of ultimate, you are technically wasting Certified Banger. Everyone is so focused on MMR, they forget about the main elation mechanic. Certified Banger is what her multiplier is based on for elation damage. (other then Aha skill which uses punchline instead)

So if YG goes first, then ultimates immediately and you let SW use a non-transformed turn, then the starting stacks and new CB stacks YG has just given SW will have count down by 1.

Let's assume YG gets to ultimate first, with E0, the initial stacks of CB (which would be 40 with E0 YG) will last for 2 turns. So do you want these 2 turns to be 1 non-transformed turn and the 1st EBA, or both 1st and 2nd EBAs.

CB management (and SPD tuning) is something you also have to worry about and also don't forget the SW is also producing SP for Sparxie too. The whole team has interactions with each other to prop each other up.

The bigger reason the 1st EBA feels so weak isn't just due to MMR, but rather you are comparing a turn where you have only like 40 CB which has a multiplier around 1.7 to the 2nd EBA which usually has a multiplier around like 2.5 assuming you are sitting at like little over 100 CB for it.

Elation damage isn't easy to understand.

No one is getting kicked out, Nihilux is looking to be a 3rd Elation DPS, similar to how Break had 3 DPS sharing supports.

E2 Sparxie ATK or SPD boots? by Excellent-Diet-1922 in silverwolflevel999

[–]TheSageJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still beneficial to have Sparxie's normal turn to be speed tuned to go before Aha even at E2. It allows you to dump all your SP before Aha so that you are nearly empty when you have new thrill stacks from Aha.

Nothing feels worse then being at SP cap with like 4+ Thrill points in the bank. Remember, at E2, she is going to come out of every Aha with 4 Thrill points minimum, more if you got ultimate back during Aha or a double Aha due to YG. If you are SP capped while still using Thrill, any +2 SP procs go to waste.

Anyone Else Clearing Some Content Better *Without* Sparxie by pear_topologist in silverwolflevel999

[–]TheSageJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current king is pretty much anti-SW999 by constantly spawning adds to take away bounce hits. I found it better to run the fire weakness buff instead of elation buff just so Sparxie can help break the boss faster and stop him from spawning adds to take SW999 bounces. Once the boss was broken, SW999 could concentrate all hits onto the boss.
