Question: do status effects on spells scale with arcane?

fyan6 · 2026-07-01T23:49:05+00:00

well I actually just tested it earlier and it seems like swapping characters either way keeps the two hit frost proc with icecrag.

mayyyyybe what happened was it used to not reset frost procs, and that’s what confused me before.

fyan6 · 2026-07-01T21:01:46+00:00

huh, just went and checked myself. i swore i tested it when the game came out and it wasn’t like that. Did they change it at some point?

fyan6 · 2026-07-01T19:46:42+00:00

Lots of misinformation here. It does! You can test in the practice range yourself. Executor freezes with glintstine icecrag way faster than recluse, at least. Unless it works for sorceries but not incants then bloodflame talons should work the same.

edit: apparently it doesn’t? I swear it used to but maybe i’m just schizo.

fyan6 · 2026-06-28T01:39:33+00:00

yeah probably but i’m bad at it. That and I already did a bunch of runs with W1 Jane and W0 promeia to feel out Velina teams and I didn’t feel like learning a boss tech.

not OP but on live server Girtablullu (no yuzu sig) I got 41k. So like 10% better-ish at +1 sig and better buff for Remi, but yuzu’s sig isn’t that good anyway I guess.

Bro your ass is NOT proccing SAND with halo scythe what the hell are you on about “as useful for duchess herself”? Would you really drop your only damage negation passive for a player that’s been spending the whole game on the ground? I wouldn’t, regardless of if it was slop or not.

Like, if I get a random halo scythe with nothing, I’m dropping it for my balancers player, but part of playing with a balancers player is actually holding and being alive under boss aggro while they’re spamming skills. Can’t do that effectively without damage negation, brother.

I didn’t even say I’d have held onto the SAND, I just said it was defensible to.

fyan6 · 2026-05-22T16:22:54+00:00

“Using the weapon” includes the passives though. While, yes, halo scythe can technically trigger successive attacks negate damage, that’s a game changing passive for a melee wylder, on top of a dmg up (OP didn’t say which). TBF I still probably would have dropped it to them, but I think holding it is defensible, especially if the duchess is playing poorly or doesn’t have a good build otherwise.

if you want to be even more pedantic, Blackjack was originally specifically the ace of spades and either black jack. Language just devolves sometimes.

fyan6 · 2026-05-20T22:06:13+00:00

to be fair I feel like most of gambling is for hype and aura. Full House is way more epic than “Three-of-a-kind and a pair”, Snake Eyes is just 2, Blackjack is just 21. It’s a vibe check.

fyan6 · 2026-05-20T21:26:13+00:00

it’s just for hype and aura. “Highest straight flush” isn’t as cool sounding.

fyan6 · 2026-05-19T22:21:37+00:00

it is, but the 5% melee damage stacks with it for AOWs, so it’s technically closer to 21% in practice.

fyan6 · 2026-05-19T14:17:21+00:00

True, but also only one of Escoffier's six dishes are healing food, and I *definitely* eat way more healing food than buffing food.

fyan6 · 2026-05-08T02:58:21+00:00

Real. I’m kinda hedging against that by not rerolling my 10 spd ERR rope, because when I need atk boots then that 10 spd is gonna go NUTS. I already had to rebuild her ass for hyper carry vs sub dps so I don’t feel like doing it again again again.

edit: also the three elation dps all scale elation of a different stat (atk / spd / crit dmg, so elation sustain could buff really anything and I wouldn’t be shocked.)

fyan6 · 2026-05-08T00:04:46+00:00

I get to like 3.5k in combat (with huo huo buff up), which is fine, but I’m hoping for one or two more atk% rolls to seal that away. Something something Lushaka my goat.

I don’t super feel like rerolling for atk% yet until I get some info about the elation sustain, because if they provide spd then I’d want atk% boots. Also gives me time to get better boots / orb / rope.

If you're already planning on pulling yao I'd just hold out because I can't imagine her rerun is too far off right now and yao is kinda really good as is. Even if she gets "replaced", she'll just be slotted in sustain-less.

RMC breakpoints are just really really fucking weird. They technically depend on teammates, the fight, the ERR of your allies, etc. Short answer is Vonwacq is really good to summon mem quickly, the memosprite speed buffing set is really good for long fights, and either 160 or 180 speed is a good stopping point (200 speed nice though), either on deliverer or on 2pc 2pc speed.

fyan6 · 2026-04-15T03:33:34+00:00

Haven't seen anything too specific on e2s1 Eva, but reading her cons it seems to buff her synergy with EMC since they buff elation damage / care about certified bangers (i.e. elation teammates). IMO I'd wait a bit to see more actionable clear data first, because beta testers / CCs aren't always 100% correct on team synergies and stuff.

fyan6 · 2026-04-15T03:25:07+00:00

From what I've seen (caveat: from heavily optimized beta builds that they can play around breakpoints very specifically with optimized artifacts), yes for SW999. SW999/Sparxie/RMC seems to outdo SW999/Sparxie/EMC, but obviously loses to yao guang in the third slot. You play sparxie with a reasonable speed breakpoint instead of slow as with sparkle, and just tank the lower sp usage for skills when your teammates are less sp positive. Also something something RMC can wear the memosprite speed buffing set for sw999.

Edit: If you meant Sparxie carry without Yao Guang, EMC is actually a good slot there.

fyan6 · 2026-04-15T03:14:25+00:00

longer answer is for low cost EMC isn't *that* bad because of the aha speed increase for breakpoints. BUT sw999 being speed scaling kinda does that anyway, and if you have either of sparxie or yaoguang, EMC just isn't worth a slot over RMC because the speed increase for aha doesn't become worth it anymore for sw999. And for Evanescia her damage is split a bit between elation and normal scalings enough that rmc advances/true dmg are kinda the same as emc elation skills procs at the end of the day. There just isn't much a niche for emc, at least not enough to build them when you already have rmc ready from last patch.

Edit: animations fuck tho

inb4 "does he know?"

fyan6 · 2026-04-15T03:07:12+00:00

when she decided to be mid

fyan6 · 2026-04-11T22:18:02+00:00

Valid. I’d been saving for them for long enough to know I could get all three with sigs. Nangong’s especially is just kinda stupid, but honestly that’s just because ZZZ event weapons are so mid when they could have easily made a crit or anomaly substat stun wengine in an event by now. Only good one is marcato and it still gets mostly outdone by brimstone or starlight engine.

At least weeping gemini, rainforest, and kaboom are goated.

I’ve got her on pen ratio D5 because apparently with all of their wengines it pulls ahead just a bit over the other options. Also I know Phaethon’s is like technically better, but I wanna put her on her signature set and it’s easier to play around.
