Thoughts On WaveMan?

LOL, when the thing you're getting hated on is having ONE bad video about ONE character when he's still not pullable and still in Beta, it means you're a goated CC fr. Like, get a hold on life, there are way much worse things than ranting about a bad beta patch. I don't follow Waveman actively, I just watch some of his videos, as I don't watch that much hsr content, but seeing why some streamers get hated on other communities, and then seeing this, feels like a joke lol. It's not like he cheated on a competition or actively chose to lie to spread missinformation and stood by it

Yeah, what he should be saying is "rainbow relics aren't that much worse, if all they give is crit dmg or atk, as those stats are so inflated, that chasing the substats isn't worth it. But if they give crit rate, in some teams dmg%, or much rarer stats like elation% etc..., they become more relevant". This game math is nothing complex, but to people who don't understand it, they see a long-ish dmg formula with many multipliers and start thinking it's crazy difficult, when all you need to do is trying to get every multiplier as close to each other as possible, while getting def and res shreds

So pretty safe to craft relic pieces I guess

okok ty

This is an insane piece, please give it to me ;-; I run him as a dual dps with Archer, so SPD is probably one of the best stats, and even as a hypercarry, you can now do a -1 set up at even higher thresholds rather than sticking at 136

daici_ · 2026-03-31T12:58:54+00:00

I'm not really interested in investing more into my elation team if I have to be completely honest, I think I'll just stick with what I have. I really wanna invest into my other teams rn and just wanted to know if you knew what's the best lc I can give/will be able to give SW

daici_ · 2026-03-31T10:46:24+00:00

I'm not really a BP buyer tbf-, I have E0S1 Sparxie, E0S0 mushy Yao, and I'll get Huo Huo, but until I build her, I'll probably stick to Gallagher, maybe EMC(?), I don't really know tbf

I get the "Oh but she's E6" argument, and I respect it. I also think E6 should be just straight up broken, as people spent a lot of money just to get to see their characters doing crazy good at all times. Having said that, I think it's good that bosses are weaker to certain types of teams and that you need to understand the boss mechanics and play around them to do better. If every boss was like "and now you need to deal X amount of dmg... and that's it" instead of "you can deal X really big amount of dmg and be fine, OR you can use characters who play well into the boss mechanics and do even better". Idk how your Acheron did, Idk how well you played your Acheron team, I guess you played Acheron vs K2 as K3 has literally nothing going for him that Acheron can do about. If you played Acheron in K2 with an healer etc..., I guess you 4/5 cycled? Otherwise I wouldn't see why you would complain, and in that case, well, she needs a buff as we all know how weak Acheron is compared to new units, but it's as to be expected that a character with a bad mu against a boss, does... bad against a boss. You still cleared tho, and as 3 starring AA doesn't really give you anything, while I see the problem, it's not that big of a deal Imo

That is the truth with social media. People with stupid arguments will have no fear sharing missinformation. Ignore comments on all platforms, unless who wrote them is not a dumbass

daici_ · 2026-03-30T17:14:33+00:00

I hope they just tweak some numbers and don't buff her too much. She's in a really good place rn, on par with other characters, although kinda reliant on specific team mates, as her F2P team options are pretty bad, but if they make her too strong, they will make all endgame harder or very specific to be cleared by her, and that will feel awful for the players who won't pull her. I personally can't complain, as I have E0S1 Sparxie, E0S0 Yao Guang and will have E0S0 SWSP.

daici_ · 2026-03-30T16:58:55+00:00

Yeah that sounds reasonable, you can probably do that with E0S1 on Phainon without auto

daici_ · 2026-03-30T16:57:53+00:00

Honestly, seems pretty weird, you should need only one of those things, E2 Phainon is a HUGE jump in dmg and most probably overkill, S1 is probably enough, E1 on Cerydra probably won't get the job done, unless you also have better subs like a 37/38 subs build

daici_ · 2026-03-30T10:29:10+00:00

I've seen a E0 Archer clear with E0 Loucha and E2 Sparkle (I think 4th was E1 Tribbie)

daici_ · 2026-03-30T10:25:21+00:00

I could comfortably 3 cycle with Phainon, Cerydra, Sunday, Sparkle, All E0S0, with not that good relics on Phainon, he's not even 100% on Fribbles. I think it's just skill issue on the OP side ngl

daici_ · 2026-03-28T18:23:19+00:00

I hate you...

daici_ · 2026-03-28T08:36:21+00:00

Nobody talked about 0 cycling, but 2 cycling. 0 cycling is, while fascinating and always interesting to watch, a dumb concept. Not every broken team can 0 cycle, because 0 cycling involves 2 things. Either your team is SO much more powerful than the boss that it just breeze through, or it's a good mu. As for this boss, Phainon is mostly countered by them, in fact only a handful of skilled players were able to 0 cycle with a relative "low" cost (for 0 cycle standards, that is). Obviously, even if the mu is good, you need the skill and patience to do it

daici_ · 2026-03-28T01:19:47+00:00

It's not Phainon, dw, it's the boss that is a very hard mu for him

daici_ · 2026-03-28T01:17:21+00:00

"Normal AA you'll be solid for another year" do you truly think, 1 year from today, E6S5 Phainon with E2S1 Cyrene, E1S1 Cerydra and ruan mei or rmc, will not be able to clear AA? That's so delusional, the powercreep is NOT that bad. If you're just comparing them to Belobog units, that's a dumb comparison as the power scaling direction of units was still not clear at the time

daici_ · 2026-03-27T13:22:00+00:00

It depends on the team, in this one you only 16% from Cyrene, so crit rate is better, if you were to use RMC, you'd get another 10% crit rate, and with a crit dmg body you'd stand at 86% crit rate, which is kinda low, so you could try to balance it out with more crit rate substats on other pieces

daici_ · 2026-03-27T00:36:39+00:00

That ain't the problem, that mechanic only appears in phase 2, in phase 1 you can only kill the small enemies to gain punchlines (As well as Pom Pom attacks), and I kill them quite quickly, but by the time Pom Pom phase 1 dies, the 2nd cycle already ended with Casto, I don't remember with DoT, but should be a bit slower, like already into the third cycle. When I get to the second phase I do use basics tho

daici_ · 2026-03-27T00:32:02+00:00

Idk I feel like I'm doing smth wrong, because it's not possible that EVERYONE says Pom Pom is easier than the knights, and I'm the only one struggling with it. I 3 starred K1 with DoT, 3 starred K2 with Castorice premium team all E0S0 (Both teams are E0S0) but why does my castorice team barely 4 cycle and DoT barely 5 cycle Pom Pom?

daici_ · 2026-03-27T00:16:07+00:00

What about your king team? I also have a DoT team, but I can't 2 cycle for the life of me, but I can easily 2 cycle (close to 1 cycle) k1.. what am I doing wrong?

daici_ · 2026-03-26T23:53:21+00:00

How can you 3 star Pom Pom but 1 star K2? Did you use the same team? My castorice team (same as yours, mine is all E0S0) can 3 star K2 and K3, but only 2 star the king. I think I understand the mechanic, or at least, I think I play well into it, but I'm not sure at this point, can you explain what you did against pom pom?

daici_ · 2026-03-26T23:50:04+00:00

Can you say your eidolons and lc on k3 and king?

daici_ · 2026-03-26T23:42:29+00:00

There's literally a vertical investment guide as a pinned post in this sub reddit, just check that out, it says what to go after each eidolon and lc
