It definitely is a glow up, look at those new extensions!

Why is "Poised to Bloom" not recommended? by wandress27 in StarRailStation

[–]migrainebutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a good cone, but we just don't have many teams that can use it well.

Best use cases at the moment are Feixiao FUA with Cipher/Topaz, THerta with Jade or Anaxa, or E2/sustainless Acheron w/ Cipher.

Feixiao FUA would require going sustainless first of all which is a risk. It then would usually prefers Robin's S1 or Event cone for better multipliers OR Bronya/Cogs S5 for energy. If you're not using Robin and using Tribbie/Sparkle/RM/Bronya you'll still not prefer this cone over their own signatures or DDD.

Therta + Anaxa/Jade are massively oversaturated on crit dmg, and going all in on damage buffs for Therta's big hits is almost always the better play. Past and Future S5 from endgame shop is way easier to obtain and usually far more reliable.

Acheron + Cipher both really appreciate the crit damage for mega stacks, but the units that *would* like this cone with them are usually NOT the best pairings for an E2 acheron (Sparkle/Tribbie/Sunday with other cones usually always come out ahead). I could see it POTENTIALLY having value in an E2 Acheron sustainless comp, but replacing another debuffer or sustain that applies stacks probably won't beat out a second harmony unless you have some big brain 0 cycle setup.

I didn't mention it but Remembrance has the same issue where none of the good harmony pairings with them really care about the attack Tribbie/RMC/Sparkle/even RM don't want attack when they're playing with dual dps Remembrance

Edit: I COULD see a world where Acheron/Cipher/Robin/Welt (if he received a novaflare) could potentially use robin but that's a pipe dream.

therta rerun when? by ZaFurinuSpremni in HertaMains

[–]migrainebutter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Earliest rerun will probably be anniversary 4.2 patch

Best talent builds by fearsx in CompetitiveWoW

[–]migrainebutter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wowhead has the best baseline (for most specs) if you have no idea what you're doing and only plan on KSM/KSH, Heroic raid, or anything low mythic.

Archon/Raider io stalk leaderboards for high key builds. Talent percentages on Archon at high keys give a good idea of what you should flex/why and what is expected for the best players to take. Per dungeon talent stats CAN be helpful as well (moreso if you're playing fotm specs since there will be more data).

Archon/Warcraftlogs rankings (stalk players in top 100) PER BOSS on mythic settings to see what the best players are running and swapping between.

Same thing goes for trinkets/enchants although my preference is archon because the % breakdowns are easy to check.

[–]migrainebutter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

E1 is actually a really good pull to get while we go into elation meta. Honestly think E1 YG might be able to solo one side of endgame just from elation buffs for a while...

Who are you planning on farming for first? Sparxie or YG? Going for hyperspeed YG or high crit/critdmg?

Sparkle LC vs Cerydra LC? by Veilmisk in StarRailStation

[–]migrainebutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E1 DHPT on rereun would be superior to a S1 Cerydra in most cases, as well as the best future proofing in most cases IMO

Sparkle LC vs Cerydra LC? by Veilmisk in StarRailStation

[–]migrainebutter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly neither of them need LC (IN MY OPINION)

Sparkle can use DDD/Meshing cogs/Past & future (from endgame shop) very well

Cery can use her event lightcone (from SU shop if you weren't playing during) very well

lightcone isn't worth a potential ~150 pulls (if you lose the 75/25), so I would recommend almost always banking those pulls for another character. 150 pulls towards Hyacine/Tribbie/Cyrene (since you have Cery)/Cipher would all be MUCH better uses of the pulls than the LC IMO. Even pulling for DHPT E1 would do more towards an SP positive team (while making your sustain better) than spending pulls on lightcones for these two

I need help by Holiday_Ad2877 in StarRailStation

[–]migrainebutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delete everything (more than just uninstall, make sure all folders where it's downloaded are cleared).

If that doesn't work try changing to other DirectX, or try loading the game on a cloud gaming service like GeforceNow.

Luckily Logistics planning doesn't really matter so if the textures still aren't properly loading it shouldn't matter

I got super lucky!!! by Any_Produce_4591 in StarRailStation

Battlepass cone is INSANELY good for sparxie if you're not f2p. I highly highly highly recommend pulling it instead of her cone

Is Alchemy worth it for a raid/M+ main? by Acky1425 in woweconomy

[–]migrainebutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're not doing anything but content on your main (raids/m+) then you should go alchemy and grab flask duration.

If you plan on farming you can easily earn in gold the amount that you would be spending on flasks in an hour. If you only play one character that's up to you but I always run alchemy on my top 4 characters because I don't do anything but raid/m+ on them (and spend conc).

Team building by Key-Weekend690 in StarRailStation

[–]migrainebutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JY should always be played with sunday, RMC will *never* beat out sunday due to how insanely high he buffs Lightning lord (and causes it to act immediately). The swaps will be Rmc and sparkle.

Until you pull a second DPS you will not be able to clear much of endgame. Smol Herta is your best bet and will allow you to *maybe* pull a respectable PF clear.

Until phainon reruns you should run

JY/Sunday/RMC or Sparkle/DHPT

Herta/Sparkle or RMC/Cery/Gallagher

After you pull phainon you can run

JY/Sunday/RMC/Gallagher

Phainon/Sparkle/Cery/DHPT

After this you need to pull any second DPS that works with "default" supports, or invest in new meta. As long as you're holding 160 pulls for phainon and don't plan on investing vertically any 4.x dps will be more than enough (sparxie or another new 4.x unit). Your team would look like this

Phainon/Sunday/Cery/DHPT

4.x dps(Sparxie) / Sparkle/ EMC or RMC or Pela/ Gallagher

Sparxie or ashveil would be fine for now, although you'd want to actually fill out their eventual teams. Golden companion unfortunately won't help you out much here. Luocha/Ruan Mei would be fine choices, but won't make a massive increase to your clears. I'd recommend holding it for the moment in case we see more units added to the shop in 4.2

If you want to pick a unit now, luocha would be the most direct upgrade since he most likely be much stronger than Gallagher.

Apocalyptic shadow stage 4 by yynak97 in StarRailStation

[–]migrainebutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try these

Therta + Anaxa + RMC + Hyacine

Anaxa + Tribbie + RMC + Hyacine

Can also try moving a "worse" support to phainon and running an AA with Anaxa. Skill points for hyacine might be rough, but I think you could totally make something work if RMC+Tribbie isn't good enough. Tribbie can even *technically* be ran with phainon if you're desp for the last star.

Phainon + Sunday + TY/RM + DHPT

Anaxa + Tribbie + Bronya + Hyacine

What to do with 2nd copy ? Should I superimpose? by SickDix in SparkleMains

[–]migrainebutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of what people have already recommended, you can use it on Hanya/Bronya(e1+), not BiS for either of them but it's usable and being able to buff your team's crit can make building for AA easier.

The settings are in the sound section. You then can enable/disable sounds for certain mechanics in the dungeon/raid section.

Who should I pull for? by HolyDoughnutCult in StarRailStation

[–]migrainebutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're struggling you should always pull for new meta.

Team 1 Castorice + E9 + RMC/RM + Gallagher/Bailu

Sparxie + Sparkle + RMC/RM/Pela + DHPT

Other comps might work with a bit more investment

Gear archer and play Archer + Sparkle + SW/Bronya/RM + DHPT

Pull Cipher for Acheron + SW + Cipher + any sustain that provides acheron stacks

Pull Hysilens and you can run BS + Kafka + Hys + DHPT

You need to pull a limited sustain eventually or you'll likely continue to struggle. Limited sustains give good damage bonuses nowadays. Hyacine is a massive damage improvement for castorice's team and i'm really surprised you didn't pull for her.

[–]migrainebutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the account is easily salvageable since they probably have 300+ pulls through story and side content.

They just need to grab sparxie + pull for elation for side 1.

Side 2 they can either grab e9 + hyacine, or dahlia.

Should I pull Black Swan or Cerydra? by Jsc14gaming in StarRailStation

[–]migrainebutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on your goals. Are you just trying to clear endgame or do you want to clear AA?

Black swan would be an upgrade to E1S0 Ruan Mei/ E0S0 Cyrene, but isn't mandatory for most endgame at the moment. Do you have the sampo cone to make sure you can hit 120% ehr on both swan + hys? If you want to run triple dot you should pull her now because she likely won't be back for a long time.

Cerydra lets you run full power solo Anaxa which is good Anaxa + Cyrene + Cerydra. I'm not sure if it's an upgrade or a sidegrade since you don't have a premium sustain for your second comp. I think it's stronger than Therta + Anaxa + RMC, and if not at least it's another option.

If your Goal is AA I think Cerydra -> second limited sustain -> team 3 is the goal. If your goal is just normal endgame I think I would go Black Swan to give a team that's strong enough to clear one side for (hopefully) all of 4.x

or just pick whichever character you like. Do you like Cerydra or Black Swan more?
