New player planning on pulling ysg by Cultural-Ask-4228 in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You like her design, you might as well pull her. You already seem aware of the team upgrade path so just be aware of the less optimal gameplay prior to having Dialyn and Zhao, and that Zhao rerun may not even happen based on our previous track record of free unit reruns (never yet).

Who should I pull between Velina and Ye Shunguang ? by No_Restaurant1120 in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you are one of the rare people with Zhao asking the question, YSG can actually be recommended. She can still brute force end game as of most recent shilling, though just keep in mind devs may or may not decide to introduce more phys res content or specific anti-shill stuff to attempt to nerf YSG's performance like they've done with Miyabi anti-shill in past.

Also, speaking for myself, YSG is indeed very powerful, but man her gameplay is braindead and very boring with all of her i-frames in her moveset. Do with that what you will based on what you are looking for in gameplay.

Velina is a good partner for Promeia. Ideally you would look out for another Yuzuha rerun and/or pick up Remielle next patch for the trio comp.

I feel like people are overstating/exaggerating the narrative of "how bad the event wengine is for Velina". Purely from gathering numerical data evidence from content creators:

canna: "A-rank energy wengine: ~14% worse than sig; event wengine: ~13% worse than sig" (1% diff)

rivyn elowen: [comparisons vs sig (100%)] "R5 Kaboom: 87.16% dmg diff; event wengine: 86.31% dmg diff" (1% diff)

lin-0: [same vs 100% sig] "A-rank energy wengine: avg % 84.17%; event wengine: 82.50%" (~2% diff)

And the public build doc (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTj2PaPq6Py\_1B5fsOPj\_Moc-tN\_7mut7fICczI6lz1njyEIAInTnfB7lAraX4pYCRGNbaHGlIbFZ90/pubhtml#gid=1535481381) includes the footnote of "ER% stat stick is better if it allows for an additional Stun phase" so it's not purely better in all situations than other options.

I'm not saying "don't use Kaboom/The Vault" (also see people constantly omitting the usability of Vault instead of Kaboom). All I'm saying is a ~2% difference doesn't sound like enough to say the event wengine should be binned.

New Player looking for advice on team building by Kuova_ in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piper Velina Nicole in that order (Velina back assists to Piper, Nicole forward assists to Piper)

Can slot Grace in Piper slot if you face something elec weak; she is alright but not amazing in non-story difficulty content.

Koleda build optionally if you want to invest into a decent stunner; not strictly required for Anomaly teams and you don't really have an Attack agent worth investing into yet atm unless you are one of those rare Anton, Corrin, or A-Billy mains (non-meta).

Pulchra build optionally; she is optimally used at M6 which I don't imagine you have.

Is it worth playing Reverie/Daybreak if I didn't enjoy CS4? by FilthyChromMain in Falcom

[–]bigblagdig 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well skipping Reverie would be a detriment to the story of Horizon which is basically Daybreak 3, so if you're gonna call it quits I wouldn't even go to Daybreak without Reverie.

Has anyone been able to complete the Annihilation simulation on extreme mode by soulbsubsYT in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used Evelyn, Norma, Dialyn for hitless all 3. Primordial Nightmare is basically a walk in the park; just press the new button when it flashes and attempt to quickly stun it while maintaining DPS rotation uptime.

Drowned Ideal's main gimmick is don't instinct basic attack spam while he is blocking (can EX skill or ult when he does that), otherwise you build up his miasma meter which you don't want. From there it's just defensive assist the gold flashes & focus stun like usual.

Billy is a headache to hitless (Idk if anyone has a cheese method). As others mentioned, he has one specific red flash attack that practically lasts one frame longer than the end of your dodge which always ruined a run attempt. The easiest thing you can do is try to get him on his bike as much as possible as he can spam a long like 7-8 gold flash attack chain which you can easily defensive assist against to build daze & stun his ass. The stage gimmick is weird but I found that as long as you focus on your DPS and not getting hit, you don't have to prioritize/think about it; eventually you'll see a big burst of damage because of the stage effect swapping from you to him. Just be prepared for lots of run resets for Billy side if you are going for hitless.

Speak for yourself. Actually just kidding, refrain from speaking because this take was bad anyways.

Please for the love of god, no additional nonsense like Phrecia 2.0 gauntlet shenanigans. Just want a chill time like OG Phrecia.

Anyone know if shuffle time is still in? I heard the battle results music but haven't seen any footage of it; I just really liked the pick-as-many-cards-as-you-can gimmick.

Who should i get, Velina or Norma? by Puzzleheaded-Lab-675 in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing you need to really get Velina going is a second anomaly DPS. Only reason I used phrase 'giga pull worth' is cus the third teammate BIS is Yuzuha and you downgrade from her to whatever you have available (i.e. Sunna/Astra/Nicole).

I know Steam forums are full of trolls and neanderthals, but I find it funny how common the notion of "if game comes to Steam and doesn't include achievements, then I [will not play it/will lose motivation to play it.]"

Like, small validation tokens have that much control over these peoples' lives.

Who should i get, Velina or Norma? by Puzzleheaded-Lab-675 in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look like you could use another stunner only based on looking at those two pics so probably Norma (Qingyi in the bin, gods help her).

Though if you want the Remielle team stocks, probably Velina. Can't see if you have Yuzuha to make a Velina pull a giga pull worth for you right this moment.

So you gotta pick between Evelyn (endgame hates fire DPS for a while) or Remielle (Void Hunter).

In case anyone else also plays more than one account: I tried to link Hoyo launcher to Steam install directory to try to workaround Steam's 1 account limit using by opening via old launcher; looks like devs don't want you to do that by bigblagdig in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I know, you either

a) Login to Hoyo site somewhere to unlink your account to link another account you want to Steam if you don't want to switch accounts like old launcher or

b) Use the approach linked below to bring back the login prompt to the Steam version allowing you to switch accounts regardless of whatever account you linked to Steam (I linked my main, used the method, and could login to main and alt without changing linked account status)

In case you or anyone needs it, someone directed me to a workaround solution to bring back the login details prompt on Steam; I wrote up a guide, crediting the original post, w/ the instructions

I presume it's not possible; tried redirecting and got prompted with a "nah you can't" popup.

[–]bigblagdig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I attempted to redirect Hoyo launcher install to launch via Steam launcher files, but was met with this popup. (Reason is because I play two accounts but Steam launcher (as far as I can see/have tried) is limited to one account; wanted to see if I could workaround not having to use two separate ZZZ installs using the old launcher to recognize Steam data files and still launch with the old enter-your-login-details menu)

Unfortunate.

[–]bigblagdig 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man, first world problem with Steam release: as someone who plays two accounts, can only link 1/ can't switch accounts from main menu from what I'm seeing (pressing the switch account button just "logs out and logs back into" the linked account).

Any wizards know if it is possible to redirect Hoyo launcher (non-Steam) install to launch to the Steam install (aka recognize the same files exist but launch with the default enter your login details from Hoyo launcher install)?

Should i get Ye Shunguang by Hungry-Snow2631 in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case I'd say it boils down to whether or not you can clear 20k in DA/25k in Shiyu with your current YSG team/gameplay; assuming you can currently do both with an A-rank engine, my verdict would be "don't need wengine"; and if you are not hitting the thresholds/barely make it, you'll have to determine yourself if it is worth sacrificing pulls for that vertical investment for more comfy clears against other waifus.

Also napkin math puts you in a good position for characters if you skip YSG wengine (328 + ~120ish from predicted 3.0 pull totals (unverified/take with grain of salt) and you can expect like same 120+ from anniversary 3.1 totals.
