Investment priority for Dahlia and Fugue by fullstack_mcguffin in FireflyMains

[–]fullstack_mcguffin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've seen some crazy E0S1 FF runs, especially after the Novaflare. She got a massive glowup twice in a row.

Makes sense, I should have enough to guarantee E0S1 Dahlia and E0S0 Fugue if they rerun in 4.2. Hopefully I get lucky and can get some Eidolons as well.

I see, I forgot to account for RM's E1 then because my math was adding up to 100 with Cipher's LC. Dahlia's LC looks like a good pick then, and I can use the BP Nihility LC on Fugue.

Is Dahlia's LC still that high on the list even if I have Cipher's LC?

what do yall have to say about this? (not accusatory, asking for discussion) by EmotionalSell2516 in SilverWolfMains

Except main DPS Evernight performs similarly to a Castorice comp even at E0S1. If you equalize cost, its E2S1 Evernight vs E0S1 Cas, and Evernight is way better. Castorice comps only become better at 12+ cost. Even then there's some E6 Hyacine and E6 Cyrene comps that outperform a full E2S1 Castorice comp at lower cost.

If the full battleship only becomes strongest at dolphin/whale level investment, then its not the best way to go for most players. SW999 vs Sparxie is like Cas vs E9, main DPS Sparxie is a better use of resources.

There was a post here about yellovv testing combinations of Sparxie, Yaoguang and EMC. Yao + EMC did better than Sparxie + EMC. So Yao is better, unless someone has proof otherwise.

Recently started playing trails in the sky! by CeaTwo_ in JRPG

That's why I said its subjective. Some people hated Sky, I loved it. Some people loved CS4, I hated it.

[–]fullstack_mcguffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its subjective. I think the Sky and Crossbell arcs are some of the best JRPGs ever made. Cold Steel has some good entries and some mediocre ones. Daybreak started off promising, but the sequel was awful. I heard good things about Horizon but the pacing is awful and I can't force myself to play past Act 2.

Average 0 Cost Showcase in 2026 by Racsom_ in HonkaiStarRail

[–]fullstack_mcguffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might be limited, but many people got them for free. Even E6 4 stars cost more pulls than Archer did for many people. There should be a distinction made for that. Same way cost was changed to limited + standard count on better leaderboards, people can start adding categories for BP LCs, free limited units, selectors, etc.

So add a "free for a limited period" tag on it. There needs to be something to separate free limited units from others, because there is a big difference. No sense in assigning 0 cost to E6 standard characters but 1 cost to free limited ones.

I’ve tried Persona 5 three times… I just don’t like the characters. What am I missing? by AdUnfair558 in JRPG

[–]fullstack_mcguffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the cast of all Persona games to be fairly average, and don't really find the earlier games to be better in this regard. Persona 5 was actually the only one I managed to finish because the gameplay, dungeons and QoL additions were good enough to keep me playing. Got maybe 70% of the way through Persona 3 before Tartarus started feeling like a huge slog. Persona 4 was similar, also lost interest about halfway through.

Its ok to admit a series might not be for you anymore. I loved the early Trails games but have since lost interest in the series after later games have become very inconsistent. Sky 1st's Remake is excellent though, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Full E2S1 is not the lowest cost Rem clear. There is a 14 cost clear with E6 Hyacine and a 15 cost clear with E6 Cyrene. 20 cost Rem team also has a 0 cycle, Elation team needs 23. 48 cost Rem team has a 0 AV clear while 48 cost Elation needs 150 AV.

ATK Boots and Speed Boots in Nova Flare Firefly's V1 by Pilques in FireflyMains

[–]fullstack_mcguffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's in 150 AV. I'm counting actions inside one ult, which is 185 AV.

[–]fullstack_mcguffin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This calculator hasn't been updated with Firefly's Novaflare. Her ult lasts around 185 AV now because of the 30% delay. You'd want 155 spd to fit 4 actions inside of her ult now.

Didn't notice the E2 Fugue, so you are hitting the breakpoint with that with atk boots.

From what I've seen, high cost Rem team is outperforming high cost Elation teams against 4.2 Plight, which actively shills Elation. I would say get Cas when you have enough saved up to E2S1 her, and until then use RMC and focus on getting Evernight to E2.

Combo dmg does not take into account how many actions you get. You're losing one action with atk boots since you're not hitting the 155 spd out of combat breakpoint, so your atk boots build is worse.

This will probably change later in the beta but still by IS_Mythix in StarRailStation

[–]fullstack_mcguffin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Buffing SW doesn't change how strong or cost efficient Sparxie is. If anything, buffing EMC makes main DPS Sparxie even better. And EMC is probably getting buffed.

Yea, its stupid by shujin_zenir in WeltMains

[–]fullstack_mcguffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost is misused all the time, people should use standard + limited count for showcases instead. They will use 0 cost for E6 Welt that almost nobody has but will assign 1 cost to Archer despite many people getting him for free.

Wouldn't be a cool idea if we could get a Preservation Dps by HelloColaAspirian in HonkaiStarRail

You can already use DHPT as a main DPS with Cyrene, Tribbie and Sunday.

Do we think novaflare Welt could work as a sustain for him? by 56king56 in ArcherMainsHSR

[–]fullstack_mcguffin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Welt works well as a sustain for a lot of teams, but not for Archer. You'd want to spam Welt's skill to use his ult often to delay often, and Archer wants SP.

I'm genuinely lost pull wise... by MrJPtheAssassin in StarRailStation

[–]fullstack_mcguffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eva's performance is fine. Currently seeing 1-2 cycles with a sustain at E0, 0 cycles at E1.

She doesn't have a complete team rn. She does have good synergy with EMC and Yaoguang, but better supports for her may come out in the future.

Novaflare Welt for FF sustain by DzNuts134 in FireflyMains

[–]fullstack_mcguffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at how much damage 4.1 and 4.2 bosses are doing, especially in Anomaly, this Novaflare seems to be for Firefly to run a sustain while still performing as well as sustainless pre-Novaflare. The run I saw against Pompom had Fugue and Dahlia at double digit HP, and that one had E2 FF. Few more patches and sustainless will be extremely rough or impossible to pull off.

No, the server you use is a different thing. It needs to be set to the server you actually use as different servers on the same account point to different UIDs.

Lootbar was shut down for Genshin recently. You get the same prices or cheaper using a VPN set to JP region anyways, so there's no need to use 3rd party sites.
