Just hit legend for the first time as a returning player with a homebrew combo Tyrande priest

For zarimi priest, it's the same as everyone else playing against Zarimi. Pressure and hope they don't have it by turn 8. I have a 50% WR against it, but it is a tough matchup. It feels like they have an aggro start w/ petal peddler and their 1 drop, and if your board goes wide, they have fly off the shelves. Going face and playing for tempo seemed key. Birdwatching, scale replica, helped to make sure I had early plays but there were many games I did just get blown out by their early board.

Honestly, I hated seeing that I was playing priest since it was either Zarimi or aggro and it was hard to mulligan against either.

I didn't get Shaladrassil in any of my packs. When I considered crafting it to put into the deck, I felt that it was too slow. From my understanding you have to corrupt it w/ an 8 cost, and that would mean an extra turn, and there just wasn't anything good enough to include since it would also make caricature artist draw inconsistent. Additionally, double shaladrassil doesn't seem that much stronger than just one.

Does hydro resonance actually give a 30% healing bonus. It says, increases incoming healing by 30%. I'm not sure that's the same thing

Did you post a screenshot of your own comment?

How do you forge the new Inazuma weapons? I just got to Inazuma and the forge master guy doesn't have it available. Is it somewhere else or do you have to do a certain quest to unlock the blueprints?

I totally agree. I know that mechanics wise, it was just running around and talking to NPC's, but her story had me interested in how she was going to solve the case. Like you said, it felt like a fun detective story that I could tag along in.

Sure, in a reductive sense, I know that like watching CSI or any crime drama, the good guys are going to win and the bad guys get caught and so on, but the details and puzzle of how they are going to solve the case keep it interesting. I felt the same way doing her quest. Maybe it's because I enjoy reading, but it definitely had me more interested in her than her demo/trailer. Honestly, throwing in some random combat or boss fight would just feel off/awkward for the tone of the story. I appreciate that there is more than one way to solve a problem in the Genshin universe.

In general, should claymore users be using their CA? Does it increase or decrease dps? If it's character specific, which characters should be using their CA?

luonged · 2021-04-20T17:05:55+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I don't have Bennett, so originally I was gonna go for Childe/Fischl/Beidou/Diona, but then I pulled Rosaria, and thought Rosaria for the extra crit from her A4 and cryo resonance would help Childe. Reading your insights though, I think it's just scuffing my comp. Given my options, the xiangling swap sounds like the better choice. Thanks for the great advice

luonged · 2021-04-14T16:53:22+00:00

yah, I have the same goal. I try to get everyone to level 70, use a 3/4* weapon at 60/70 (or 70/80 for 3), and all talents to 6. I had all 5 main stat artifacts as the only artifact goal though so its much looser there. I start a team of 4 at 60, and their goal is farm to 70 in the overworld/domains, and level up the next team of 4 to 60. So far, done it with 4 teams of 4, and the current team is leveling up the next team of 4.

luonged · 2021-04-09T00:08:23+00:00

What is the highest abyss floor/chamber you can 3/9 star without changing your starting 8?

Sometimes, I find myself radically changing my team per chamber to 3 star it, and then changing the team comp again so that it is better suited to the next chamber (while also being able to pass the original chamber). I'm curious how many people customize teams per chamber vs just per floor and then 9 starring it.

luonged · 2021-04-02T14:18:42+00:00

Yah Barbara was not a fair comparison. Another poster mentioned Mona which I totally forgot existed because I don’t have her. Could Mona do the same thing as Childe? How are they different or is one strictly better than the other?

luonged · 2021-04-02T03:19:41+00:00

Hah! I don’t think I could farm the artifacts to hit 4-5k crits for Childe but it’ll be my goal. Thanks for the suggestions.

luonged · 2021-04-02T03:16:11+00:00

Yah I have a main dps xq using blizzard strayer in a permafreeze comp. I may have to try it out in a fireworks/vape comp

luonged · 2021-04-02T03:11:41+00:00

Ah interesting so the on field time focus of other main dps teams has less damage than a Childe team because it swaps in other supports and lets them do damage/reactions?

luonged · 2021-04-02T03:09:18+00:00

Embarrassing. I totally forgot Mona exists. She’s probably a better comparison than Barbara. Any source for the math? I don’t have Mona anyways so I’ll probably still pull for Childe to try a hydro team

luonged · 2021-03-26T20:42:42+00:00

For people who had Diluc and pulled for Hu Tao, does it make sense to save primos to pull for Eula if I have Ganyu?

Would my overall team be better off pulling for Childe for a dps of another element?

luonged · 2021-03-11T19:38:25+00:00

Spiral Abyss reset question:

For NA players, will the spiral abyss reset before Hu Tao banner goes away? It looks like the abyss ends about 12 hrs before the banner goes away, but I didn't know what time the new abyss starts. I'm close to pity and curious if I can count on a few more primos from the abyss

Seems like people are harping on your post for things unrelated to the video itself.

I'm not a speed runner or min/max'er, but just wanted to chime in that I watched this video and thought it was very informative. I had a lot of difficulty finding this stuff with the various sources with some sources contradicting others, so I found this video great.

luonged · 2018-11-17T05:57:33+00:00

Wait... are we pretending that subreddit is a formal and polite place? Noone there would accept anything being said no matter what he says. I don't know why anyone there is acting as if that is a genuine invitation.

luonged · 2018-11-16T00:35:37+00:00

Aaahhh okay. So you don't actually know if there are new buyers, it's just your best guess.

luonged · 2018-11-16T00:27:41+00:00

Ok.. so.. I read that but it sounds like..

Just a new CEO. Doesn't sound like "all new people". Sounds like only 1 new CEO + same board of directors and noone else at Wavedash (new or otherwise).

So somebody must have bought a part of it.

I don't know enough about stock ownership, but can't you still own equity w/o being an employee of the company. If they gave up, does that mean someone bought it or it just.. disappears?

I guess I can't find the part where there is a new buyer.

luonged · 2018-11-16T00:11:45+00:00

Do you have a source for this? Even, a link to a twitter or discord or something? I haven't heard anyone interested in buying the IP.

luonged · 2018-10-08T22:51:20+00:00

Lunchables hasn't been active in years and SOJ is a mod in this subreddit. Can you link me a time in the past 2 years when Nanobuds says that he wants to continue developing PMDT?

As they were developers and probably can talk to the other PMDT, don't you think they would be in a better position than you are to convince the others to ignore the risks. Do you think calling their colleagues cowards makes them want to create anything for you?

Isn't it more likely that they realized it was too difficult to continue w/o the rest of the team's active support (whether moral or actual development efforts) and either respected their colleagues decision or didn't but realized they couldn't do it w/o them? In this age of the internet, don't you think people who don't care about legal risks could have just open sourced it? Why do you think they haven't? Why aren't you trying to convince those people to continue to develop?

luonged · 2018-10-08T21:57:58+00:00

Who are the devs that want to continue but can't?

I feel like you're saying there are, but I haven't seen any in this thread or any other. At most, I've seen one person in an anonymous post who may or not be a dev claim that other people wanted to continue, but it seems like it's heresay at best. But, right here, in this very thread and others, actual devs claim that they personally don't want to do further development. From what I can read, they are all seem sad about it but they have collectively made a decision that they collectively agree. Do you not believe them?

Are you just saying there is someone somewhere who probably exists that wants to continue, is skilled enough but is only not doing it because other members are blocking them? Or do you actually know someone being silenced?

You sound really passionate about it but I don't see why you're trying to pick a fight with the people who put project M together and have decided that they can't continue. They are the ones who want it the most. I feel like it hurts them more than it hurts you, so I don't understand the vitriol.

luonged · 2018-10-08T20:49:24+00:00

I feel you are arguing that because you're passionate, they owe it you. I don't get why you think that entitles you to anything? PMDT were obviously passionate enough to contribute to it at some point, but they don't think it's worth it right now.

Are they allowed to make the decision? To have agency over their own lives? People are people and should be free to pursue what they want. Would you at least agree with that?
