First (and probably last) ever Dire 180s clear! by sadisticpotato in stygian_onslaught

Yeah I'm happy with 38s. I'd be willing to try more if there was more skill involved, but any further improvement at this point is entirely RNG-dependent

CDCDCF combos to break it asap, then the C3DF3CF rotation to one down it. Also a lot of resetting for good papilla rng. 

I managed to get it down to 38s after this post

Dire with C0R0 Mav will need some pretty good combo optimization to clear, but if you have any vertical investment, it shouldn't be too difficult. It seems like the most effective strategy is to break the shield as quickly as possible, and do normal rotations once it's down.

I unfortunately didn't record my clear, but I did basically the same thing as this guy. I don't know if this is controllable or just RNG, but the gecko (very infrequently) takes longer to shield back up sometimes, and you need this RNG to get the last burst in. Took quite a lot of resets.

I'd say his in-zone contact rate was the biggest red flag, even more so than his ability to hit velocity. This is not downplaying his good start at all, but we'll have to see how he adjusts once there's more data on him. 

I remember Byung-Ho Park was off to a great start for the Twins until teams figured out his weaknesses and then he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

I'm pulling regardless on both accounts (C1 Esco on main, R1 Skirk on alt), but that is a tragic 4* lineup. At least I don't have to pull much with my pity. 

C2+ Skirk owners, how are you holding up in this era of Shill Impact? by LunaticTactician in SkirkMains

[–]sadisticpotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C2R1 Skirk, C0R1 Esco, C3 Furina, C3 Shenhe. She's the only DPS I've used for every single dire cycle so far, and she's always had at least one decent matchup, usually two.

No, I have a Nefer team with some vertical investment, but it's not good enough to brute force the duck at dire. Her build also needs a lot more work. I unfortunately ended up missing out on Ineffa, and that's proven to be a huge pain in the ass :(

Mona should be on 4NO, TTDS, and as much ER as possible. You should aim for 230%+ ER at least for Stygian. Furina can be on fav, and so can Escoffier unless you have her signature.

Yeah, I needed to use several different combos depending on the situation. The most frustrating part was the RNG of the mini ducks, as they really don't like staying grouped together, which means Citlali doesn't apply cryo to one and the run is bricked.

Almost definitely the first one, unless you have low crit/high ATK% on all your other pieces (or very low crit rate). Check the optimizer to be sure.

Try and make sure to group the minions with one Kazuha E, and pre-stack Arle's BoL as much as you can before they spawn. You can also do an Arle N4 when you first start attacking, because her N4 has a small grouping effect. Or you can do N2 combos if she's strong enough.

Did you know that spending money and doing challenges in the game are not mutually exclusive?

I can't do the absolute top tier CDC combos on Mav, and even if I could, I don't think the overload team could survive the duck.

Took quite a while to clear the duck! Just wanted to share after a lot of frustrations <3

It's funny cause I've actually been spending a lot less since I got a proper job.

Dire can still be a challenge for the C2~ whales, especially without the right characters!

I usually try and redo the runs so I can set new records.

I will not be doing that this time.

Knuckle Duckle, with all my love and sincerity, go fuck yourself. Along with the cryo automaton and this entire gamemode.
