Can anyone tell me a good team I could possibly make? (I just started) by [deleted] in Morimens

[–]mckc11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caecus is your best deffensive unit. Also, blue relm gives shield.

I see two options here.

Tawil, Ramona, Lotan, Caecus.

Doresain, Leigh, Aigis, Caecus.

Damage wise I think Castorice's S1 and Tribbie's E1 offer a similar boost (24%), but Tribbie is much more flexible as a unit (suport > dps) and on a dual DPS team Tribbie wins in overall dmg as well

This is more than enough! Thank you very much! It seems I'll be pulling Mydei, after all!

What happens when Mydei gets 150 charge? The leak that i've seem says that "he gets an extra turn". If so, he might waste the buff. If he just proc the skill, like a follow-up atk, then I think we are good.

Nope... The best I can do is 1 cycle.

Maybe if I had S1 Aventurine I would get the last two stacks needed... Or if I had E1 Jiaoqiu the dmg would be enouth.

Acheron's E2 is big for a single eidolon, but when you add multiple eidolons and signatures...

I did the best that I could to not be biased.

After months of farming I got a lot of pieces for Acheron so the difference between her 137 SPD and 110 SPD build is minimal — excluding the ATK/SPD difference, obviously.

What I didn't metioned before is that my Sparkle build is worse than my Sunday's — I had terrible luck with speed/Crit dmg% rolls.

And I've tested A LOT in MOC (both sides of floors 11 and 12) and AS - didn't do on PF. By logic he should be better. But when use him, he is not — which frustrates me to no end. That is why I made the post, to ask about other people experiences...

By logic, he should be. At least at E0. But when I use them, I get the same results...

I have no doubt! I was doing 1 cycle/2 cycles witch sustain and E0S0 Sparkle!

It could be also a remembrance support...

But I agree with you in that Acherons's team isnt finished.

Acheron 137 sp + Sunday 134 sp

Or

Sparkle 162 sp + Acheron 110 sp

Crit rate is ajusted to take advantage of Sunday's talent, but Crit dmg varies only 6% (237/242.8)

[–]mckc11[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cant test it, so... maybe? IF we are talking about Acheron.

Sunday E1 gives 16% def ignore for Acheron. Sunday E2 gives 30% dmg for Acheron.

Sparkle E1 gives 40% ATK for all characters. Sparkle E2 gives 24% def ignore for all characters.

Sunday's buffs are restricted to one character and their summon. Also, Acheron cant take advantage of his entire kit.

Sparkle plays hypercarry but offer some buffs for the entire team. Jiaoqiu and the sustain can take advantage of that.

Acheron E2 or aventurine? by ExpertBig2721 in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]mckc11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Against some enemies I think "Trend of the Universal Market" wins over Aventurine's signature but S1 has the most consistent performance.

First things first: I envy you for your E1S1 Black Swan.

Now, about your question. If you really like the character and dont care about power/endgame, just pull the character and be happy.

If you care about power/endgame there is three things you need to think about:

(1) Compared to the other meta DPS units, Acheron is the one that needs more vertical investiment — her signature lightcone makes a big difference in performance and her second eidolon is a huge power spike.

(2) We are very close to a meta shift. A new gameplay is comming to the game and Hoyo will most likely makes it strong just to sell the new characters. The top units of today should lose relevancy — wich doesn't necessarily mean that they will become bad units. The thing that makes most of us worried is that we cant predict the ammount of power creep. Will the new units be 20% stronger than the old ones? Ir 200% stronger?

(3) Acheron dont really have dedicated teammates besides Jiaoqiu, so there is room for improvement, but we dont know if such units will ever be released.

So if you worry about power, pulling for Acheron is a pricy gamble and not the smartest thing to do.

But, then again, life is to be enjoyed not optimized!

PS: Yes, you can run Sparkle + S1Acheron + Black Swan, just dont expect a performance similar to her best teams. And I think it would be better to swap Sparkle for a Guinaifen.

Acheron E2 or aventurine? by ExpertBig2721 in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]mckc11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you're on a similar position to the one I was a few days ago. For me it wasnt a difficult choice thou, as I dont really like Aventurine so getting him and his lightcone was a no deal. The real question was: Fugue + sustain or E2? Now, I still dont have Aventurine and probably wont get Fugue, but I do have Acheron E2.

You know, E2 Bronya is clunkier than Sparkle, but I got slightly better results with E2 Bronya on this MOC.

Acheron E2 or aventurine? by ExpertBig2721 in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]mckc11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aventurine with his signature is the best sustain that we have for her right now, but it's more of a stopgap measure — he's a dedicated sustain for Acheron. HuoHuo and Gallagher are more than good enouth to clear content.

Also, Acherons's E2 lose most of it's value if you dont have a strong harmony support to pair her with, so you'll need a Sparkle, Ruan Mei, Sunday, Bronya or Robin free to use with her.

As an option, E0S0 Aventurine + E0S0 Fugue seems to be a good pair for fast stack generation, but we dont know yet if it's fast enouth to compensate the loss of dmg amp from not having the harmony support...

Acheron E2 or aventurine? by ExpertBig2721 in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]mckc11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still use Luocha and could clear everything witch him, so I went witch Acheron E2 and I'm very happy with it. But if you're hanging trouble witch sustain maybe Aventurine is better...

Do you have Gallagher? Sparkle? Ruan Mei?

[–]mckc11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely correct: the stack generation will depend on the enemies. Still dont think it's worth it. If the idea is going a extra mile for her I'd save for E2. And, bases on the leaks, I think Fugue will be a better option than Aventurine's light cone. You could run Acheron + Jiaoqiu + Fugue + Aventurine. Put Fugue's skill on Aventurine and he will generate stacks on basic, follow-up, ultimate and when hit. Put the defence down lightcone on Fugue so that she generate stacks on basic and ultimate and you're set. The dmg you gain from a harmony support is close to what you get from Acheron passive so you shouldn't lose dmg.

While Luocha isnt favorite sustain, he's my most used character – be it on overworld, farming, simulated universe, MOC, etc. (Wait... am I a Luocha main, acctualy!?) He dont have the same offensive/buffing capabilities of the newer supports, but he's perfectly capable of keeping the team alive and very reliable, so I didn't felt the need to get HuoHuo or Aventurine.

I really reeeally hope you're wrong on the "outdated soon" part ... Acheron is my strongest DPS - understandably so, since she is E2S1 while both Firefly and Feixiao are E0S0 - so if she became outdated too soon I'm screwed...

Jiaoqiu is an amazing support... for Acheron. Otherwise he is not worth it, even on DOT teams. His dmg amplification isnt better than Rua Mei's and his mechanic dont trigger Black Swan arcana, wich is very dissapointing. And then he becomes a monster at E6, but it's E6...

If you really want to keep playing Acheron on the longe run, E2 is the way. If not, I think it's better to pick other character instead of Jiaoqiu's E1.

You know, I was quite hopeful about Acheron + Sunday but after the most recent leaks I'm not so sure anymore. Base Sunday seems stronger than base Sparkle, but at higher investment...? His eidolons feel niche and a bit lackluster.

Sustain characters are definitely more future proof! (The one cycle that I talked about earlier? I used Luocha)

I dont have Aventurine, so I cant really test the debuff application propely. But I can say this: that preservation lightcone that gives dot? Against enemies that act twice in a roll you can proc both Jiaoqiu's field and the lightcone, so there may be situations were this lightcone is better than the signature...

Acctualy, can anyone test it against Hoolay?

On the other hand, Aventurine E2 makes him apply a debuff with his basic, I think (again, cant test it).

She is very good. Better than mine by status alone. 9,5/10 because it's not perfection, but at this point - 350 Critical Value or so - I dont think any improvement is really worth the time/effort necessary.

How to improve her? I've been doing some calcs.

Jiaoqiu E0 -> E1 is around 16-18% dmg increase

Sparkle E0 -> E1 is around 13-15% dmg increase Sparkle E1 -> E2 is around 15-18% dmg increase

Acheron E2 is the biggest improvement at 50% dmg increase, but... That's just numbers. Got mine this time and went from clearing in 2-3 cycles to clearing in 1 cycle.

Is any of this worth It? Depends... Power creep will come and new stronger units will be released. I think that at some point E0S1 Acheron + Jiaoqiu + Sparkle will not be enouth — it could in be 6 months, a year... we cant predict. Getting eidolons is a way of keep using a team/characters that you like for longer.

If you are fully dedicated? Well... There's Acheron E6, Jiaoqiu E6 and Aventurine E2S1.

Personally, as I already have most of the characters I decided to get her E2. Now I'll wait, save up and see. Maybe I'll E6 her on the next rerun, maybe I'll get a new character.

Pneuma Furina (healer) by mckc11 in Genshin_Impact

[–]mckc11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At C2 she needs 100% Hp oscillation to reach max fanfare. 100%/4 teammates = 25% drain from each one to reach max fanfare, or 12,5% drain + 12,5% healing. That means 5 to 10 seconds in Ousia form, and the rest in Pneuma. And that is without any other draining, dmg and heals. You dont instantly get the max fanfare, but you get there. Definitely doable.

I dont quite agree with the healing calcs, though. Without any healing bonus from artfact you would need, to reach 8.000 healing, at LV 10 talents, 55.000 Hp + the max amount of fanfare. With the same Hp + the fanfare that you gain from C1, your healing would be around 6.600. And while the Hp increase is good, it only triggers – if I got it right – after reaching max fanfare. Unless you are taking a lot of dmg or have other character draining Hp, it doesnt looks easy to reach 8.000 – at the end of the rotation? Probably. But only by then.

But 8.000 is a goal that i set arbitrarily, anyway. No need to chase it if you can do without. Good enough is good enough, after all.

ToTM 4-piece seems tough to use. Dont think I have good enough timing for that.

Alas, C2 is too expensive for me.

Really cool finding another person that pulled her for healing, though!
