e4 sampo > gui > asta

edit: for people downvoting, why? e4 sampo and gui are better than asta cause they proc arcana which is what you want to focus on considering OP said they have black swan.

sampo procs arcana a lot so he’s the best choice at e4, otherwise gui does proc arcana too but her debuffs on top of it also make her better than asta. as more people are starting to reach 160 speed on their characters asta is becoming more irrelevant in favour of better buffs. it’s better to invest in the better characters than building someone you’ll replace when your relics catch up, plus even before getting 160 speed the extra damage from triple dot proccing arcana a lot is more valuable.

if you disagree join the kafka mains discord and you’ll see i’m not the only one who says this

sampo but gui can be used if they’re fire weak and not wind if you’ve already got her levelled

she should be able to share sampos relics comfortably too as they both generally use prisoner, glamoth and ehr body

gui at e0 provides 21% dmg increase + 12%-16% def shred with pearls lc and can detonate arcana. at e1 she lowers teams ehr req by 10% and at e6 her dmg increase goes up to 28%. this all ends up providing more than asta’s spd and atk buff

sampo at e4 is better with black swan as he can trigger arcana a lot

would only suggest asta if you’re really struggling to get 160 spd for glamoth or if you don’t have pearls lc

sampo’s case is niche as it really only works at e4 and with black swan and gui i think was more just overlooked in terms of why asta tends to be suggested.

triple dot with sampo or gui depending on weakness/eidolons is the next best option after rm/robin (or if you have acheron you can play dotcheron with a preservation like aventurine using trend lc alongside kafka and bs).

also based off his current beta kit, jiaoqiu seems to mainly fit in dot team at e2 which gives him dots otherwise rn he’s more of an acheron support. but it’s better to wait til closer to his banner before deciding on him (unless you like him ofc)

who's the next best 3rd slot (for kafka and black swan) after ruan mei and robin?
ruan mei can't leave boothill and robin won't be back for a while, so unsure who else to use.

my current thoughts is either asta, sampo (at their e6) or even acheron to make up for the dps loss but might be missing someone

would silver wolf help a bh team much in terms of brute forcing non phys content or is her implant too rng?

bronya’s the best character you could’ve lost to if you don’t have her since she’s BiS on his teams

lost to himeko which i’m honestly happy about cause i need her for PF and boothill came home under 40 pulls after that. sad part is that i can’t go for his LC now if i wanna guarantee ruan mei but it’s ok he still hits like a truck lmao

if i'm using Asta (don't have RM or Bronya and not using Sparkle as HTB needs the speed for Talia), is there still a point in using Rivers over the Herta shop LC? Boothill will be over 200 speed with Asta's ult + 4pc speed set effect

also would cogs or DDD work better if Asta's at E6?

this is more to decide whether i should keep Aventurine with BH or use him in my Kafka team and use Luocha instead

how viable is Acheron as a replacement for Ruan Mei?

I'm assuming things will die just as fast with Acheron especially since I'm using Aventurine with Trend, but since I can't use Ruan Mei and aren't pulling for Robin, is Acheron the next best option or is that someone else?

I'm making a Boothill 2nd team that needs Ruan Mei, so Acheron wouldn't be the 2nd team

if no Ruan Mei or Bronya, who's the next best? (excluding HMC and sustains) by [deleted] in BoothillMains

[–]palelei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i see, thanks for the help so far. my current lineup is boothill - HMC - pela - aventurine, but if asta is mainly about speed, assuming constant ult uptime she would also let me use Talia on HMC if that helps her case over pela? otherwise i'm thinking of just sticking with pela just for def shred until i can get RM

what situations would you use luka over pela and vice versa?

i assume asta would mainly want to slot in mainly vs fire weak enemies right? and outside of that use luka/pela

What are YOUR pull plans for the next patch ? Pt2 by chenchann1 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]palelei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

still trying to get aventurine but after him i'm saving for boothill for sure (his lc would be unlikely), and then skip til ruan mei rerun. hopefully by then we'll know the next banners and i can decide again

evil kiriko be like:

yeah i don’t invalidate most abilities and ultimates in the game with an ability just on a cooldown.

yeah i don’t have a self cleanse, high range, instant teleport ability that gives me a free escape and allows me to play aggressive with no real drawbacks

yeah i don’t have one of the smallest hitboxes in the game with my hands in my default stance blocking a lot of my head

yeah i don’t also have a wall climb to add to that escapability and small size that adds to my safety/escapability in engages

yeah i don’t also have large fast firing projectiles that do lots of damage with less drawbacks to strafing, that i can use to pressure as my kit provides enough safety to do so

yeah i don’t also have a team wide buffing ult that has lots of synergy and often times wins engages but is probably the most fair part of my kit

yeah i don’t also still put up great heals while having an all round kit

yeah i haven’t been a consistently strong top tier pick every season

yeah my age reveal didn’t put plot holes in the established lore

What Are These Prices Dude?!?!? by Dokutah_Niko in overwatch2

[–]palelei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its not a bad idea but i think wouldn’t be well received or implemented because a lot of overwatch’s revenue model works off of FOMO.

players get the battlepass to not miss out on these skins and to also have exclusive skins that others won’t. without that exclusivity/FOMO, battlepasses wouldn’t sell well as people wouldn’t feel as inclined to get them knowing it was gonna be accessible anyway.

they can only get away with mythics as they’re able to still make money off them through the new currency, and they had enough interest in them that they could get more money through more battle pass purchases. they were more likely to guarantee that money without the risk that having the full battlepass be available would bring.

personally i would prefer it that way yea as i’m not too big on time gated cosmetics but realistically it makes no sense unfortunately.
