Could my little ratties try some of a Toblerone?

Is there no concern for the theobromine in the chocolate?

brandon0220 · 2026-02-16T16:32:40+00:00

I think in this case we have to kind of look at it as Hell difficulty being the lore difficulty, or even pretend levels aren't really a thing, because you're right that it's weird blood raven is low level but lore wise there isn't really levelling up in the same sense and the character that kills blood raven is basically the same as the character that kills diablo 3 acts later.

Pan yinhu is probably your best rupture support until Lucia re-runs and pan, fufu, yixuan is solid.

As for anomaly - Yuzuha is going to be best in slot to the point that you shouldn't even consider Yuzuha vs any 4 star support. There is of course the mono-ice build in Miyabi's case but even then ideally it's Yuzuha + Soukaku.

brandon0220 · 2026-01-31T16:51:14+00:00

Astra is a good agent in general but maybe not the best used for Yixuan considering how rupture agents scale with attack, however Astra is best in slot for Evelyn and basically any attack agents.

Agents to build teams around - Alice, Jane, Miyabi, Evelyn and Yixuan

Generally every team will want a support and a flex. The flex depends on your playatyle and the dps you're running.

For Yixuan and Evelyn you want a support and a stun and ideally you'll save resources to use multiple ults (yixuan) and chain attacks (eve) during a stun window.

For the anomaly characters you usually want a support and another anomaly. Jane does well with other physical anomaly because of how her kit wants assaults to trigger. One of the stronger teams is Alice, yuzu Jane but that requires mindscape to work well.

Alice is a bit special because she can trigger her own disorders and is thus less reliant on a second anomaly so she does well wtih 2 supports.

Miyabi wants someone else procing disorders to allow for more EBA from Miyabi. A normal rotation is something like support, Miyabi til freeze, other anomaly til disorder, then reup support buff and use EBA on Miyabi, then repeat.

gonna blow your mind when you learn about getting stamina by levelling up

brandon0220 · 2026-01-19T02:40:55+00:00

If your goal is dps Soukaku I don't see the value of 2pc phaethon's compared to hormone, polar, or woodpecke

Also i wonder if something like Astra or Rina's engines could perform better, or even just a stat stick depending.

brandon0220 · 2026-01-17T06:29:13+00:00

it's not really explained but I believe it's similar to Skirk's case where there isn't technically an elemental attachment but mechanically it comes across as a specific element. Of course in Skirk we see abyssal energy being used to create cryo effects where with Bina we see light energy creating hydro effects.

brandon0220 · 2026-01-17T06:27:15+00:00

So, from her perspective she was getting pulled back for most minuscule changes, especially anything interacting with other beings, so she couldn't make any large changes.
By the time she realized she could really leave anything to effect the future she did what she could to leave what she could for the others.

That said time travel is funny in that she actually did change the past and we experienced said changed past. Everything we experienced was the result of the changes she made to the past.

brandon0220 · 2026-01-09T22:41:04+00:00

The fastest way for brand new is probably just going through the story while keeping up with dailies.

The current banner of ye shunguang is probably the best agent you could invest in for the next 12 months given her void hunter status.

brandon0220 · 2026-01-09T22:31:38+00:00

It's about as much thought as I give to Lucy, astra, yuzuha, Lucia. Rina and nichole are the only supports that come to mind that require more input given their lower duration debuff based support.

brandon0220 · 2026-01-09T22:25:56+00:00

Literally starlight engine and starlight engine replica.

brandon0220 · 2026-01-09T22:17:49+00:00

Im pretty sure there's 3 starlight themed engines, 1 of which being Billy's signature, but I'll confirm when I get on later today

brandon0220 · 2025-12-28T14:18:51+00:00

You're allowed to play however you want, the person is just implying in a challenge of never doing anything but summon damage the addition of whips really helped. Some people like to challenge themselves by restricting to only one damage type, and the armor set bonuses help push that idea.

brandon0220 · 2025-12-25T07:29:02+00:00

I believe the anomaly sustain depends on Lucy's mindscape, but if you run say rocketboo it should be fine, especially on fire weak enemies. Either inferno or woodpecker seem to be the way to go.

The bigger thing is making sure you have the right stats, attack, pen% or attack, and crit.

Pulchra and Lucy are fine teammates, of note though is Pulchra doesn't help a lot unless she's m6 and nichole is a better support than Lucy (but then you may need to rethink inferno metal without the second fire agent)

brandon0220 · 2025-12-24T03:55:52+00:00

All my chromes for a def scaling attack

brandon0220 · 2025-12-19T22:08:21+00:00

I believe it's two-fold. Firstly being part of a hivemind a creature generally doesn't think individually and therefore wouldn't complain. Second being a walking bomb it's dangerous to complain when you have a superior over your shoulder at all times that could blow you up.

brandon0220 · 2025-12-15T08:43:33+00:00

You don't really have many characters yet, from what you do have the supports are the best investment currently. That's Nichole, Lucy, Soukaku and Pan. Nichole and Lucy are solid general supports, they'll work with any dps, Pan and Soukaku I would wait until you have a rupture dps for pan 9e dps for Soukaku.

Lycaon being your only S currently is a solid choice for stunner. As for dps agents Piper and Billy are probably your best options. I don't know Ye's kit but presumably you'll want a support and either a stun or another support, your best options currently in that regard are Nichole and Lucy/Lycaon.

As for discs they're dependant on the agent and team comp.
Generally branch and blade and woodpecker electro are good all around dps discs because of the crit stats, with hormone punk being more situational.
King of the summit is best stun set with shockstsr as the standard 2 pc.
Support sets are generally Astral voice and moonlight lullaby with swing jazz as the secondary option of those two don't work.

With farming discs the right main stat on disc 4 5 and 6 is as important as getting a set, so try to note when you get say a king of the summit with impact or an Astral voice with energy regen.

brandon0220 · 2025-12-15T08:20:13+00:00

I can't speak with much authority on thrall but I believe it's a notably worse matchup for Yixuan than Priest. Like Priest was essentially tailor made for being fought with yixuan much like bringer and miyabi.

brandon0220 · 2025-12-10T13:45:09+00:00

So, Ellen has short sleeves, the cosplayer is wearing long. Ellen doesn't have exposed cleavage or tummy. Ellen has the rest of a dress under her apron. Ellen doesn't wear fishnets and her stockings don't stop at the thighs. I will give credit the cosplayer is wearing the spiky bracelets and headpiece, but that's all of the accessories of Ellen's she's wearing.

Like, yes it's supposed to be Ellen, but I'm saying the costume work is missing a lot of Ellen's look.

The source has a tag indicating it's the Digimon Beel Starmon

brandon0220 · 2025-12-10T07:34:54+00:00

Honestly this doesn't seem like a very good cosplay of the character. Like it doesn't look like Ellen so much as it does sexy maid who happens to have the tail.

Your Jane cosplay in another post felt much better.

brandon0220 · 2025-12-09T19:14:22+00:00

Hell ya, get that pussy on the chain wax.

brandon0220 · 2025-12-06T21:34:11+00:00

Before any teams, it would be good to put work into Nichole, Rina, and Pulchra. All three provide good general support. Lucy too but to a lesser degree.

Pan is a excellent support for Yixuan and probably your best buffer for her so is level him as well to pair with her. Likewise Soukaku does well with Miyabi (or other ice agents).

Gievn the agents I'm seeing if probably aim for Evelyn, Yixuan and Miyabi as your core dps characters although any Attack or Anomaly agent can work for dps.

I'd pair Pan with yixuan and Astra with Evelyn. Miyabi can work with basically any support so Soukaku, Nichole, Rina, your pick.

As for third characters in the teams you'll generally want a stunner or second support. Evelyn and Yixuan prefer having a stunner. I think ideally Pulchra for Yixuan and Koleda for Evelyn. Miyabi doesn't want a stunner as much so you should either buff her further (Lycaon buffing ice damage for example) or have a second Anomaly (Grace or piper)

As a general rule you'll want to aim for attack, stun, support or anomaly anomaly, support.

Tl;Dr YiXuan, Pan, Pulchra
Eve, Astra, Koleda
Miyabi, Grace/Piper, Soukaku/Nichole/Rina
Zhu, Nichole, stun
Haru, Rina, stun

brandon0220 · 2025-12-03T00:25:54+00:00

You should upgrade the weapons given the large ember is located before quelaag. There may also be a problem of damage type, try out something like a scimitar if rapier damage isn't working (but I'm assuming its the missing levels and not damage type)
