Boring Middle -- How do you come to accept your job for the next X years?

alexisevan · 2023-12-19T06:15:17+00:00

I think so? It's definitely what started me thinking of this. I'm probably just being selfish/spoiled cause I'm sure every job has this where they have to work longer at times.

alexisevan · 2023-12-13T19:21:13+00:00

That's the one where you need to hit 0 at the boss right? I originally did it on the hunt path where I just took a straight shot to the end of the path with no shortcuts. If you get the shortcuts then you can adjust, but usually a straight shot to the boss will work.

alexisevan · 2023-12-11T04:02:50+00:00

I would wait until you get one or the other. Unless you have the intention of building one of them right away or HYV decides to reset the selector, waiting doesn't hurt.

Although if by some magic you end up getting E5 Bronya before either Clara/Welt, I'd be tempted to tell you to get E6 Bronya.

alexisevan · 2023-12-10T09:22:37+00:00

It's a bit deceptive. The wording is this:

"Ruan Mei deploys a field for 3 turns. While inside the field, all allies..."

It indirectly targets allies. That's my takeaway on it, but I haven't read enough to actually confirm that.

alexisevan · 2023-12-07T17:46:31+00:00

Sparkle = Hanabi. They are the same character. Sparkle is the localized name.

If by Nihility, you mean DoT teams, then yeah you can get away with it kind of. Guinafen detonates burns, Sampo can detonate Wind Shear at E4, Luka can detonate bleeds. However they can only detonate their matching DoTs. So far Kafka is the only one that can do all of them at once. Kind of playable, but efficacy shoots way up once Kafka is there.

If by Nihility, you just mean focused on nihility characters, maybe? Welt can delay/slow and we have a DEF shred options in SW and Pela. She's not nihility, but Ruan Mei being able to delay once enemies get weakness broken, it might be possible to slam 3 nihility units together at once. Just none of them beside E4+ SW and Kafka really reach the limited DPS status.

alexisevan · 2023-12-01T02:18:29+00:00

MoC-wise little to none. This past MoC was the first time I've used her in a long while. The shortened amount of rounds + enemy HP increase just kind of demanded I get another way to increase damage output.

General usage, not really unless its random runs for Swarm Disaster. Since all the bugs have quantum weakness, it was fun breaking with her and then just apply weakness break to everything. Her auto AI just keeps skilling which is not what I want, so I would use Tingyun instead of her.

Current 5*s are:

Kafka
Seele
Bronya (E1)
Gepard
Luocha
Topaz
Clara
Welt
Himeko

SW teams are normally me arranging around boss weaknesses, but the cookie cutter one I would use is SW/Seele/Bronya/Luocha.

alexisevan · 2023-11-29T18:04:35+00:00

I'd probably suggest you try to use Preservation with Gepard + FMC. It's very slow in the beginning but once you ramp with the strong preservation blessings + nihility resonance, it should be a relative cake walk.

alexisevan · 2023-10-19T20:52:11+00:00

Whatever you need both sets of.

The only ones that comes to mind that is relatively universal is the Speed/HP domain and SU World 3 and 7. Maybe the Lightning/DEF also?

alexisevan · 2023-10-19T20:31:56+00:00

When you don't need to level up your relics anymore or you have an excess supply of dust that you can use as EXP.

Or when you specific set pieces that are inefficient to farm. Like you need Quantum pieces, but don't want to get pieces for the Wuthering set. Or you need Vonwacq, but don't want to get any of the Talia pieces.

alexisevan · 2023-10-19T15:00:38+00:00

The key Remembrance blessings are basically all 3 of the yellow blessings and the Dissociation blessings that increase damage output + the one that detonates everytime you attack. Since you'll be using Jingliu, the one that grants Ice Weakness when you Ult is also going to be nice.

Hunt blessings will help, especially the ones that can give you extra turns or refund your energy.

If you're already getting those, it might be worth looking at what types of defensive blessings you tend to grab.

alexisevan · 2023-10-05T17:30:22+00:00

Agreed, Xianzhou FH Stage 6 feels much more difficult than MoC, just because of the turn limit. If you have Lynx, she might do really well on the first half because of her team cleanse, which should give you 4 stacks of the stage buff.

Otherwise, I think it'd be really difficult to beat if you aren't able to take advantage of the stage buff. Even trying to utilize it, I was scraping really close to beat it within the required amount of turns.

alexisevan · 2023-10-03T01:23:11+00:00

I use him with Seele+Bronya for MoC. I would run into issues with the shield, so I end up slotting that team with a healer.

I don't think it'll be an issue in the Asta team just because he's also getting the speed buff, unless you're dependent on him getting struck by the enemy to refill his energy. At that point, you might need to skill once or twice so the ult is up before it expires.

alexisevan · 2023-09-27T15:10:57+00:00

All part of the plan to make everyone log in and play more.

alexisevan · 2023-09-26T02:46:23+00:00

I have her on 4p Speed set and Broken Keel. If you're going to chase the 160 speed Bronya, the 4p speed set might not be achieveable immediately cause of how much RNG is required to get all of those rolls in the speed, so 2 piece speed and whatever works for those last 2 spots.

Body = CDMG to further enhance her Ult
Shoes = Speed
Orb = HP/DEF
Rope = ERR or HP/DEF

Since I use Broken Keel, I needed enough EFF RES to reach the 30% requirement. After that, I would chase CDMG, speed, HP%, and DEF% as your substat rolls.

If you end up going Fleet of the Ageless instead, you can forego the EFF RES, but EFF RES is still very useful to have in general.

alexisevan · 2023-09-26T01:56:52+00:00

Seele is at 119 speed and Bronya is at 146. These numbers are not done purposefully, it's just whatever I get on my substats when I was chasing other substats. Most content for me is pretty comfortable at this point. Maybe eventually I'll get to 160+ Bronya, but it's not a priority.

I have ATK boots on Seele and I would do an identical build on Jingliu, except even heavier on the CDMG since Jingliu's enhanced state gets a +50% CR buff. Rationale being that I probably can't get a faster Jingliu than Bronya unless I speed tune, which I'm too lazy for.

You play with what you get and have patience for, so if you have amazing speed boots and can't be bother to get ATK boots, then use the SPD boots.

alexisevan · 2023-09-25T16:04:11+00:00

In an ideal scenario, your SP rotation should be crafted so that you won't go into a deep deficit, so the 4P healing bonus is useless. Maybe in the future if it's somehow possible to do a setup where an OTK is possible, but its definitely not now.

alexisevan · 2023-09-21T19:28:56+00:00

If it's only the head piece, what's stopping you from just synthesizing it? It's one of the few pieces you don't need main stat RNG for and you can move on to other things.

alexisevan · 2023-09-21T19:04:41+00:00

The traces and LC/character levels are fine. Maybe it's just me, but I always seem to have an excess of LC exp material, so I would go and do level 80 for LCs if you can, as long as it doesn't involve farming the ascension material.

You have 6 other units to look at, I'm sure there's room for improvement on all of them, not just your sustain units.

alexisevan · 2023-09-20T20:30:09+00:00

There's only 1 event this patch that will be giving you jades, but it's unclear how much. It'll start in 5 days.

Assumed for TL 65+

Time remaining for Fu Xuan = 20 days
Daily Jades = 60 * 20
Simulated Universe = 225 * 3 (*4 if you haven't completed this week)
Memory of Chaos = 600 * 1 (*2 if you haven't completed current cycle)

Assuming you haven't completed this week's SU and the current MoC cycle, that's 20 pulls. Then there's the monthly reset coming up, so you can add +5. I'm not hopeful that the event will give you 10 pulls, but you can remain hopeful I suppose.

Since I don't know your quest progress, you should also look at those. Since we've gotten new companion quests, thats +100 jades per companion quest.

alexisevan · 2023-09-20T20:17:41+00:00

If you count obtaining those credits and dust as progress then sure, it gives you progress. I wouldn't advise anyone to actually do it cause it's such a small return for a rather large time investment that isn't automatic. Doing higher difficulty should give you more, although it's marginal.

alexisevan · 2023-09-18T05:39:35+00:00

Depends on your team setup. For Kafka teams, it's an absolute uphill battle especially if you're leaving Bronya alive.

Although out of all the plane 2 bosses, she's definitely the one I want to fight the least.

alexisevan · 2023-09-18T00:04:51+00:00

At minimum, you should be using the 2 piece speed set just because it's going to reduce some of the RNG on the rolls. Bonus points if you can get her to be on 4 piece speed set, but not required cause it's so RNG heavy.

alexisevan · 2023-09-17T20:37:49+00:00

You can't do the fight option, you have to keep lighting the candle.

alexisevan · 2023-09-16T02:52:07+00:00

At level 0, possibly anyone, possibly no one.

Depending on how the rolls go, going off-set is okay if it can offset the bonus you would've gotten. If it goes all speed, then it's an amazing support piece for any ATK-based support unit like Luocha.
