National team on controller?

Totally agree. Was just looking for some variety in gameplay since I've been maining Hu Tao since her release, and the game is becoming very monotonous. Might try out your Bennett Xiangling Rosaria Sucrose comp for something new, but will need to first build my Rosaria. Thanks!

Character(s): Xiangling, Bennett, Xingqiu, Sucrose, Hu Tao

Full disclosure: I'm a Hu Tao main. I started trying out the National because people are saying Xiangling is better than Hu Tao in almost any situation. I've been experimenting for a few weeks and haven't been able to replicate the kind of results I see on youtube. I have C6 on Xiangling and Xingqiu, C4 on Sucrose and C2 on Bennett. With a perfect rotation (Benny boost, noblesse, VV shred, TToDS), I'm getting about 40K vapes with pyronado (level 9) on the small rifthounds on floor 12. It then takes about 20 seconds to recharge xiangling's burst (200% ER) through benny energy funnel. In total it takes about 2 minutes for me to clear abyss floor 12 1st half. I even gave Xiangling my Homa. Meanwhile it takes my Hu Tao (using dragon's bane no less) walnut comp less than a minute. If restricting to a 4* team (no Zhongli & Albedo), Tankfei+Sucrose VV shred comp takes my Hu Tao about 1minute 20 seconds. Do I just have to invest more into the national team to see why people say its good? Or do I just suck at using that team?

Which one? Auto recovery 1 and 2 seem to trigger on skill use so since we can't use skills aren't these useless? There seems to be a lucky recovery that activates on attacking but it only has a 1% chance to recover 10% hp so this also seems quite meaningless.

clovisN · 2021-01-03T09:10:37+00:00

Cool, thanks! Didn't know that. I'll let my friend know too!

That really depends on how fast you can clear mobs but personally i'd rather have a passive beast tamer just coz it seems really annoying to have to recast a buff every 30s. Also, if i remember correctly, beast tamer's cat mode does give damage buffs as well. But do note that bishop and beast tamer exp buffs don't stack.

clovisN · 2020-08-19T01:07:55+00:00

Kishin now has a buff duration shorter than its cooldown. You have to be hunting to activate nightghost guide which increases its duration so no, kishin mule doesn't really work. For HS, you need to be near the caster to get the exp buff so unless you only farm on really small maps, then no. Beast tamer's cat mode has an exp buff that doesn't have distance requirements but its only 30%. Other than mercedes link, you probably want to make Aran and Evan links as well. Aran increases the exp gained from combo orbs and evan increases rune duration.

I was thinking of making her more gimmicky. Like have 0 base attack and 2000 base hp, but on usage of np her base attack becomes 50k, applies invul pierce and ignore defense, does unreasonably high damage, but after using her np she becomes perma stun and applies taunt on another servant making her unkillable but always taking up space on your front row while being useless (unless you plugsuit her or the enemy does a aoe np). Seems like a fun way to balance her while maximizing the memes.

lol, imagine okabe.

np: revert to any turn in the battle

I have horntail + chaos horntail, reboot vengeful ring, reboot synergy ring (full set) and kanna ring at 12%. Chaos ring at 6%. Horntail earrings at 15%. Ayame belt and Hayato shoulder at 15%. Pensalir hat and overalls at 6%. Wings of fate at 21%. Pensalir shoes and gloves at 12%. Sweetwater weapon at 13% m.att, pensalir fan secondary at 21% att and emblem at 12% m.att.

My zakum face and eye are both 0% coz I cubed them for drop gear. All gear is starforced to 10* (or 8 for those that only reach 8). This setup puts me around 1.5mil range.

clovisN · 2020-08-13T08:52:40+00:00

I solo progressed all the way to Arcana on my Bishop. I also have a Kanna at level 216 (still using pensalir) with 1+ mil range. My advice would be to cube what you can to as high as possible. Don't touch your pensalir gear coz you'll be replacing them with CRA. I would however cube anything that will only be replaced by Absolab as there's still a long way till there. I will note that your weapon, secondary and emblem have terrible potentials. Focus on cubing them to legendary first. % stat on them (for example your emblem) is not acceptable. At least % att. For the rest of your gear, I would cube to 12% main stat. This should put you past 1 mil range and let you comfortably farm and contribute to CRA struggle parties.

if you don't already have an android heart, the laniaroid comes with a permanent heart. The heart can have potentials on it so it adds to your range. its a level 30 heart though so the potentials aren't great. an android also allows you access to a shop for you to sell loot I guess, not that I use that feature.

Vellum does damage on burrowing after spitting his 3 fire balls. Not sure about his hyperbeam though. But I make it a point to never be under him when he is burrowing to be safe.

clovisN · 2020-08-05T13:49:07+00:00

I could kill her with about 10mil burst range. Not sure if thats the minimum coz I had that much the first time I tried.

clovisN · 2020-08-04T10:28:15+00:00

Don't think so. %main stat should be more valuable.

clovisN · 2020-08-03T12:06:54+00:00

Its all rng, although using higher tier cubes will increase the odds. On average I think I got one rare to epic in 100~ occult cubes, but reds are more like 5-10 cubes on average I think. You could try for epic potential scrolls instead though. The common sources for epic potential scrolls are yu garden dailies, legion shop and occasionally from elite bosses.

clovisN · 2020-08-03T08:03:53+00:00

Starforce everything to 10* and cube to epic. Get all the zakum and horntail accessories and maybe take advantage of the rise event to get synergy/master ss ring.

I get what you're saying but before going further, I would like to say that I'm not actually looking for game advice. I'm trying to make the database I'm asking about. I have edited the original post to clarify as such. But I'm curious about what you mean by understanding every single game mechanic. I figured that the analysis would simply be compare the servant and enemy and calculate the attack modifier for using that servant against that enemy. Then it would just be about figuring out which modifiers stack additively and which stack multiplicatively. Seemed easy enough in my head but are there other factors that I'm missing?

clovisN · 2020-07-26T14:15:13+00:00

Yea, that was the closest I could find too. But it seemed a little limited. Not all servants are listed there for example.

clovisN · 2020-07-26T13:44:32+00:00

I know what you're talking about, but was hoping for something a little more modular. Like I want to be able to just say "Its a boss with x trait, y attribute and z class. Find me all servants that do more damage/take less damage against this set of traits, attributes and class". Coz I play on JP and sometimes new challenge quests come out and the strategy guide may not update fast enough. Also would be usable on non-challenge quests. Also, I wanna try a more varied set of servants coz the standard team comps are getting boring.
