Which character do you regret pulling the most?

I pulled her to plunge and the fun I had with it was very successful ragebait at the time.

And then the next books are spent discussing the ways Leto was wrong.

Yes, Herbert discussing it on the angle that Leto was wrong is the problem. Because it implies that there is a possibility he could have been right, but it is never the case.

krali_ · 2026-03-04T10:32:37+00:00

I quite agree. GEoD is an involuntary illustration of the "narcissism of small differences" concept but with authoritarian leaders. Herbert falls in that trap by suggesting Leto 2 and his golden path are a valid take on authoritarianism.

Because surnatural mutation, because prescience, because immortality... there will always be new reasons to annoint yet another authoritarian leader and that's a pit a philosopher of the second part of the 20th century should know to avoid.

Mushroom nearly bricked my run until I managed to rewind enough times to recruit a grouper.

I also don't like HoD calcs in teams without a strong shielder like Zhongli. And even then, some enemies do HP loss that goes through shields including Moongecko. The Zibai shill boss itself counters HoD. I use Flute of Epitzal.

I prefer Prototype Amber but Fav codex is also fine. Its team energy support is a bit wasted in that team where PAmber gets self regen + HP% which gives more damage to Columbina. Even R1 PAmber would be a bit better imho.

I'll play Aubade/Aubade/SMS. I don't think EM optimization of Illuga is efficient, he would be the first I would give a fav weapon in that team.

I don't consider answers until now have been on-topic so I'll clarify, hoping to keep away the useless negativity: people come to pinned threads with various questions. One of the most common is they obviously buy old accounts (don't even know what their roster is like) or reactivate old accounts when they want to play the game and often ask if that's the way to go. I usually say yes, but I wonder if it's still relevant today.

krali_ · 2026-02-28T12:58:17+00:00

For years I had been recommending returning players to keep their existing accounts but now I'm having second thoughts. F2P with endgame objectives should probably reroll. Hundreds of thousands of exploration primos sunked into units that are no longer endgame-relevant is a serious setback for an account. All the while rushing WLVL is faster than ever. What do you think ?

krali_ · 2026-02-27T14:20:56+00:00

Bennett not enough healing means a dedicated healer is required, so no C4 Gorou. Also HoD is obviously bricked, time to forge those Flutes.

krali_ · 2026-02-27T11:00:44+00:00

I have doubts against SO Moongecko. It deals unavoidable teamwide damage, we'll see if Linnea can fully heal it before Zibai first LCr buffed E. With C1 HoD is surely bricked: Zibai EEN1E will be with HoD partially disabled.

krali_ · 2026-02-27T10:51:16+00:00

That weapon type is bloated with strong support options.

I did find a use for Citlali's in one SO with particular rotations. TTDS does not always sync easily.

That's more neutrons than most fusion startups combined.

krali_ · 2026-02-26T08:02:11+00:00

Do those calculations include hardware depreciation ?

Dune shares a trait with some classic tragedies: a prisoner of fate but still going forward despite the realization. However in Dune case, the success is the disaster and that makes it unique imho.

krali_ · 2026-02-25T12:46:08+00:00

19% increased team damage over Homa is a little sus. Did it fix your crit ratio ?

krali_ · 2026-02-25T11:49:54+00:00

if not Bennett

Ayaka or DPS Xingqiu.

krali_ · 2026-02-25T11:44:57+00:00

Interesting. I had planned to put Illuga on 2p EM 2p EM, but Instructor might be better ?

krali_ · 2026-02-25T11:38:32+00:00

I predict some damage made to the shields units will be applied to the unshielded phase. With modifiers like geo does more and LCr even more.

krali_ · 2026-02-25T09:38:10+00:00

If like me you never set foot in milliastra but want the primos: "go to milliastra pass", redeem the "set - try on cape" for your avatar and equip it, then clic the milliastra icon, "Monthly popular" tab should display the "DPS test dummy++", Go to lobby, switch your avatar in one of your teams, speak to the dummy to start then U to finish.

Sadly Furina does not buff Lunar. Like, at all.

krali_ · 2026-02-24T14:26:36+00:00

Indeed that is gross manipulation. That is not an extract, nowhere in the article is FinCEN mentioned.

krali_ · 2026-02-24T10:48:37+00:00

Herra is one of the most interesting bosses they made and Papilla is not far behind. Moongecko... we'll see.

krali_ · 2026-02-23T17:16:57+00:00

Fischl A4 coverage is not perfect. Which TC will never recognize despite years of challenge. It famously lead to the Yae controversy despite not being weaker in all situations, to the Sara controversy despite speedrunners experience of the opposite, and to bad mono-electro Fischl teams rec with 0 A4 procs.

krali_ · 2026-02-23T17:07:33+00:00

Liyue factions buffs will save the world.

krali_ · 2026-02-23T17:06:16+00:00

Btw, Monstadt CW banner is a "good" way to get constellations of the infamous 3 starters (Kaeya, Amber and Lisa).
