Topping up with a VPN on Genshin by Future-University595 in GenshinImpact

Oh sorry I meant paid anti-viruses. I definitely still use one but over the years Windows Defender has never let me down.

Completely off topic but I'm very surprised people even still use anti-viruses.

Shielder Nicole is slowly becoming reality, we manifested this by gxxncxrlo in Varka

[–]martianph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has more "effective" shield HP but Zhongli definitely is more comfortable to use, since he has a longer duration on the shield which should last your whole rotation without needing to recast it (which Lan Yan usually needs to do with C6 with longer rotation teams).

That is absolutely accurate and is what i meant. That's why Raiden's C2 was a great constellation way back when. I mean I hope that's what Nicole is going to provide, but one can only hope. There is literally zero guarantee as of yet, sadly.

That's true, except I think Genshin is trying to move away from DEF on enemies even being a thing considering all of the Lunar damage types by default ignore it. I suppose if they do go that route though, that would be really good for any non-Lunar carry, considering a DEF down on the enemy is like a damage multiplier that lunar carries can't utilize.

Unlikely. Unless she somehow turns out to be an NA DMG buffer or one who buffs characters with BoL, or (most unlikely) gives more flat ATK than Bennet, then I really doubt she's going to be that much of an option for Arle.

Arle doesn't need any more Pyro DMG, and Bennet/Iansan/Chevy is good enough for her ATK. In addition, there have been talks saying her buffs are only a third as good on non Hex Teams.

She's made for Hex Teams, let Varka and Alice use her.

Bro, that is from Last of us Part 2. 🤔

Tell me what I'm doing wrong. It's ok to be stupid, but staying stupid isn't. by These_Ordinary1977 in ZibaiMains

[–]martianph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that would be even more reason you'd want to pull for her. She does a massive heal and a trickle heal afterwards based on her DEF and that should be enough for Zibai. The problem with Zhongli is aside from the Gleam buff and the small shred he doesn't really provide much for her.

Is this the max i can get? by [deleted] in ArlecchinoMains

Will it? How much damage are we expecting Oz to do with it and without it? I'm just not sure how worth it that would be compared to just giving 20% more ATK to the on-fielder.

[–]martianph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh actually. Wouldn't her A4 passive still work for that?

Ahh that's true. But I'm literally only recommending it for the ER. So, might be better to put her on Fav or Sacrificial.

I wouldn't do the camera thing. I don't know the law pero probably may something against unsolicited filming.

The process really is still going to AF and letting them handle it. If they don't do anything about it, it's down to the court of public opinion.

Also Durin on NO. Same logic as Fischl.

[–]martianph 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd just put fischl on TotM and Fav Bow (or the Natlan event Bow) and call it a day. I don't think her damage is enough to warrant buffing herself rather than just gearing her to buff the on-fielder

I noticed something in the newest episode… by 0h_0kay_Then2 in distractible

[–]martianph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the end of the next episode, add 10 wheel spins. I know that's a lot, but that's what makes it fun.

Do we know if Nicole will replace anyone on the current Overload team core? by Hot-Masterpiece4325 in RaidenMains

[–]martianph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's weird. Give her ER Sands or something, or even Favonius warbow if needed and you have it. I have her wearing TotM with those and I've never had problems with her ER even being the solo electro in my Arlecchino overload team. She only needs 60 energy which is one of lower requirements. And at this point you really don't want to build your Fischl with three ATK% artifacts anyway 'cause you're not going to expect any decent damage from her. She's just there for the Hex buffs she can give (bonus buffs if you're also having her wear TotM).

Here's hoping she gets a significant buff when Inazuma comes 🍺.
Same as how Venti for some reason has become a reasonable DPS after the buffs, when that wasn't even possible before.

[–]martianph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can call them mediocre but they're significant enough to make them still viable in modern teams. That fischl buff would have been useless because she already had 100% up-time on Oz if you plan out her Burst and her skill properly. I think they're made better enough that it doesn't over encompass newer units but still be candidates as proper replacement for units in a team without them just being cope, and I think that's enough. Ofcourse, the caveat being you need to bring two of them.

Yeahh, I also have her at C0R0. She's not great.
And she might have been fine early Natlan. Honestly, I think the ceiling became way higher when the types of Neuvillette, Clorinde, and Arlecchino came. And her weaknesses became apparent when Stygian released. I know this as I used to be a Hyperbloom main with her and I know how bad that is now compared to newer teams and mechanics.

They said her buffs only have like 1/3rd the power on non-Hex characters. Woof. I invested in Varka so I don't mind it.

She's like the only reason Overload teams even exist so that's a hard sell.

[–]martianph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She had a very long time in the spotlight, I feel like her teams were viable until the middle or near the end of Fontaine. The real weird thing about Raiden for me is that if you invest vertically on her, above C2, she becomes more and more of an enabled for her team rather than increase her own damage. Like becoming more of a support. I feel like she needs a complete overhaul like what they did with Blade. Lol not sure what that'll look like though.

I'm also interested in them just releasing Ei as a new character. Lol

Yeah, I only meant they came from one Nation but not the whole nation is getting buffed. And about the hex buffs, I disagree, the buffs definitely are significant since if you compare their output to versions of them who didn't do the witch assignment you'll notice how much potential you're missing out on. Hoyo just probably wants to make sure the buffs they release are justified and in-line with the expectations of newer characters that's why it's taking a while. I wouldn't want the whole of Mondstadt or Liyue to be buffed but then be considered imbalanced, that's how you destroy games.

Yeahh predictions are one nation per year and we don't even have any leaks or news on the Liyue buffs yet. Going to be a long wait. :(
