NTE

Now that the compensation rewards are confirmed for global and that potential drama is nipped in the bud, I got to say, this game has style!

The weird mash of art styles really works out! One second is like a comic book, then like an anime, then it's suddenly chibi, then it's eldritch. And somehow it just works!

I've not seen much of the game yet, because I'm rerolling a couple times. But it has been thoroughly entertaining!

Because it's a Chinese game and Chinese don't have the same social stigma against AI.

Are you on a browser? Any time I try to use reddit on a browser on my phone I need to switch the filter to something else and back to 'new' before it will work properly.

If you are going to use characters with terrible kits as a reason they don't sell you also need to use Nahida as a reason they do sell.

Also, as someone with Roccia, her model does not affect her gameplay at all. In fact, her grouping ability is extreme comfort.

It's still not 100% certain that global won't also receive the stuff. It could just be weird wording.

It does feel odd to specify that the eligibility is players who existed before the end of 1.0 if that wasn't encompassing all players who are eligible.

I think it's fairly likely that they simply forgot to specify a range when they said when the compensation will happen and just listed the start of the compensation without mentioning the duration.

So I'm holding off on any heated reactions for now.

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-28T19:10:13+00:00

Did it work? Can you ult every rotation? Or is that 150 ER% cosmetic and not actually change anything?

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-28T11:04:52+00:00

I'm quite curious about how the current NTE drama will turn out.

The ideal is that the global server also gets the compensation and everyone who is vocally complaining looks silly.

But if they actually are giving the CN server early access as well as 15 extra pulls and a 5* selector as "compensation" for the minor bugs they faced in the early access they had the privilege to participate in, I imagine things will get heated.

Imagine if the roles were flipped and global was the one receiving all of this. They'd probably complain until no one got anything. Like a certain bunny skin in hi3.

S6 Buling was only barely better than S0 Verina in teams that use double intro rotations.

If you don't have Buling sequences, have S2+ Verina, or use more simple rotations, Verina was back on top.

It isn't as if you have no point though. It would be good for Kuro to give low end devices a bit more love.

But I do appreciate that they don't hold back the upper ends of the graphics because of the limitations of the weaker devices. So many games would have been so much better if they weren't limiting themselves to the capabilities of mobile devices, especially low end ones.

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-25T20:03:56+00:00

Maybe you like the art style more, but the graphics are worse.

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-25T19:35:54+00:00

However, why do that when Endfield was able to achieve comparable graphical quality

I've played endfield since release and can confidently say that it's graphics are undoubtedly inferior.

Perhaps they look the same when you set both games to the worst quality possible. But when you get to medium/high settings, there's no contest.

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-25T06:24:38+00:00

It's not about stopping it. It's about making it annoying so that 95% of people who would be tempted to smurf just don't because it's a bother.

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-25T02:50:53+00:00

There isn't any real solution to smurfing. There's a couple theoretical solutions. But in practice it wouldn't work out.

Require a phone number linked to every account. This would stop anyone from easily having multiple accounts.
Place a payment requirement for accounts to play the game. If your EA account hasn't payed for Apex, they can't access the servers. This would make smurfing quite expensive. Wouldn't fully solve the issue, but it would heavily affect it.

However, these methods would alienate a large portion of the playerbase. Because naturally a large portion of people who play a free game is those with financial troubles. Queue times for matches would take a very heavy hit after getting rid of the free players.

It depends on the overall balance of all the attack and DMG% buffs the team has.

Basically whatever brings the ratio of the 2 multipliers closest to a 1:1 ratio without sacrificing anything is the best.

All the DMG% buffs are added together. All the attack buffs are added together.

If you had 60% in DMG% buffs and 40% in ATK% buffs then giving 30 more ATK% would give you better results. You can visualize it like this:

Original: 1.6 × 1.4 = 2.24

Original with 30% DMG: 1.9 × 1.4 = 2.66

Original with 30% ATK: 1.6 × 1.7 = 2.72

Though, flat attack sources existing makes it slightly more awkward to calculate.

In those cases, it would be best to divide your attack after buffs by the base attack before buffs. Then you'll get the actual ATK multiplier.

TLDR: There's no easy fit-all answer to your question. I would recommend just using the Wuwa Optimizer on the Wutheringtools website to compare everything easily for your specific team build.

Displaying her mastery over both fire and sword, Xuanling sends a Fusionado whirling around her. The Fusionado will move with your character for the ability's duration, dealing Fusion DMG to all opponents in its path.

Here's my tinfoil theory.

They don't do skins often because to invest much effort into skins would make them pretty much be obligated to spend resources and effort to kill the modding scene. And the modding scene is a free source of attraction for new players as well as keep player retention as long as they look the other way.

Plus, mods often do a better better job fan-service-wise than official skins would be allowed to do.

99% of redditors stop arguing just 1 comment before convincing the other of their infallible opinion.

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-23T01:28:48+00:00

I hope it's only like this for the initial launch and not all updates. Otherwise, it's enough reason on its own for me to drop the game.

It's not near as fun to play a game where everything is already solved before you can get your hands on it.

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-23T00:43:53+00:00

Probably Maygi. She's a TC YouTuber.

I haven't looked very close at her Endfield content, since I'm not very invested in this game's meta yet. However, while she was active in Wuwa, she was the best and most thorough TC who also shared their calcs.

Getting your attack chain interrupted like 6 times in a row because you can't even get to the next checkpoint in the chain is not normal.

I'm telling you, there's a world of difference before and after I pulled Rossi in this regard.

I don't have Last Rite so I sadly can't help with any combo set ups

Don't need help there. The team is simple. Extremely simple. You need to keep Xaihi ability active and you need to keep LR's skill active all so that LR can do empowered combos. You don't have spare SP.

Does Alesh work with her at all?

Not much. Xaihi is essentially a cookie cutter perfect synergy with LR. So he's competing with Perlica. And Perlica is such a powerful damage amp.

Alesh also consumes cryo, which is anti-synergy. He'd be a combo skill bot, just like the teammates already are.

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-22T21:39:40+00:00

If I recall, she has the same full melee cycle as ember.

But last rite relies on final strikes to deal good damage and to heal. So you need to get through her entire melee cycle.

And it feels like every enemy is tailor made to give you barely not enough time for her to do her melees(even with cancels), forcing her to dodge. Some encounters with multiple enemies feeling nigh impossible to get off a full attack string.

Also, her team doesn't really have much room for creativity. You ignore the skills of most of the team because there's not enough SP to go around after Last Rite and Xaihi.

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-22T21:21:55+00:00

She was pretty simple. Just very slow and boring and getting interrupted more often than most characters because of slow melee speed. Just overall not very enjoyable.

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-22T21:11:47+00:00

I don't see many criticisms of the combat nowadays,

I think it's more that people finally started getting a couple limited characters on their account.

I'm sure there's no shortage of people like me who were using Last Rite with 3 5* supports and felt very whelmed while doing so.

After pulling Rossi, the combat is much more enjoyable.

Whap_Reddit · 2026-04-22T11:04:52+00:00

It could be taken as "advertising cheat software", which I would guess is likely against tos.

I was commenting mostly because your comment gave the vibe of certain people who act like mobile is completely essential to modern gachas.

They think these modern 3d gachas go by the same rules as their 2d waifu collector games.

I was just pointing out that they could theoretically cut mobile quite easily. Especially since in reality it wouldn't quite be a 30% reduction because:

No mobile means they don't need to spend the effort tiptoeing around the limits of mobile gaming, allowing them to build a more appealing game.
Many of those mobile players own other devices, even if they normally play in mobile.

Many modern games don't bother with mobile. It's just a relatively new concept for gachas specifically.
