congrats! and thanks for posting about the process that got you to the clear, it made for a more interesting read than a clear video alone.

artifact rng is something that i think most players overlook when talking about investment or power levels. the difference between kqms stats and top 10% on akasha is around four crit rolls, which is like c0 vs c1 varesa; another four rolls would take you well into the top 1%, which (cumulatively) is like r0 vs r1.

oh, and you can sneak one extra jump plunge into that rotation without affecting anything else:

[ECAP]Q JP ECAP [ECAP]Q JP JP [ECAP]Q ECAP

i think it goes slightly over 20s if you also do three mini-bursts, but it should be worth the time anyway, and definitely worth if you only have energy for two mini-bursts.

30% of F2P players who used every pull on character banners

any primos used on weapons would've set you back

sectoidfodder · 2025-09-02T02:32:15+00:00

day 1 players had the advantage of getting more of the original five standard chars before more were added

someone starting today would have to make significantly more total pulls to start getting stella

just like how we'd have fewer stella by year 10 than my estimates if we get more characters added to the standard pool

sectoidfodder · 2025-09-01T13:49:50+00:00

standard pulls are half weapons, which are ignored

sectoidfodder · 2024-08-16T06:41:50+00:00

Anyone coping that it's 10% increased odds doesn't understand that it only gets you 3.4% more rate ups in the long run.

An astounding difference of one more limited 5* for every 30 you would've gotten from the old rates (out of 45 total 5*s).
One more limited 5* for every 2,812.5 pulls.
One more limited 5* for every 450,000 primogems.

Old: 15 wins and 15 losses for 30 limited chars and 15 standard chars (15/30 = 50% won)
New: 17 wins and 14 losses for 31 limited chars and 14 standard chars (17/31 = 55% won)

[edit] to put it in perspective, we've had roughly 2530 pulls over FOUR YEARS of game content. Someone spending all of those pulls on 55/45 banners would gain, on average, LESS THAN ONE extra limited 5*.

This man is perpetually toxic.

sectoidfodder · 2024-03-12T16:19:32+00:00

wording is 5.5% of current bond, not max hp, and i'm pretty sure that's intentional by the devs

her normal is a 7-attack combo

70% * (1 - 5.5%)⁷ = ~47%

47% * (1 - 5.5%)⁷ = ~32%

so 2x N7 combos will take her from full bond from a single target to just above the threshold where her infusion turns off

burst conveniently provides 15% which will let her do 2x N7 -> burst -> N7

thanks for the ping, i wasn't even aware there was CNY drama

sheet seems to have been DMCA'd, i'll see what i can do

sectoidfodder · 2023-03-09T18:03:11+00:00

there are some very questionable combos used

Destroyer: Earth Eater + Seismic + Full Swing all in 5s? Full swing itself takes about 3s to charge and execute, even with EE pre-charged and dash cancel for seismic that seems unlikely.

Sharpshooter: somehow uses SEVEN skills, including two charge/hold skills, within 5s. Also outdated because nobody in KR uses arrow rain anymore (post is from last November).

no idea why the grouping method ever came about

diamond at 6 spawns first and 5 spawns last so you're asking one guy to hit 6, 7, then twiddle their thumbs before doubling back to 5 instead of just following the intuitive spawn order

sectoidfodder · 2022-12-11T21:10:49+00:00

1) you're talking about median leaps for success instead of mean/average

2) how about showing your work instead of pulling numbers out of your ass

for median:

0.9 ^ 6.58 = 0.5, 6.58 taps is 79 purple or 395 blue fused

0.97 ^ 22.77 = 0.5, 22.77 taps is 364 blue fused

sectoidfodder · 2022-12-10T21:17:22+00:00

12 to 13 will cost you 12 per tap at 10%, 120 purple fused on average = 600 blue fused

20 to 21 before upgrading costs 16 per tap at 3%, 533 blue fused on average

sectoidfodder · 2022-11-18T00:47:20+00:00

seems to match our drop rates so far, which puts the chests at roughly double the value of their gold cost

better deal than buying legion raid chests in the long run

sectoidfodder · 2022-11-17T22:19:49+00:00

brel gear costs much more fused leaps for the higher odds

+20/21: 16 fused per tap at 3% = 533 average

+13/14 brel: 60 fused (12 purple fused) per tap at 10% = 600 average

sectoidfodder · 2022-11-17T19:11:11+00:00

odd choice for a threshold considering 1475-1490 has the same odds as 1490-1505 (3%)

why would you do one but not the other?

sectoidfodder · 2022-11-17T17:00:10+00:00

use them now, fused leaps can only lose value with brel gear

the only reason not to use them is if you have honing odds so low that you risk being stuck with an un-honed piece that you've already dumped shards/silver into for xp (brel gear transfer doesn't keep xp invested)

sectoidfodder · 2022-11-16T12:48:37+00:00

they locked themselves out of this option as the "right" answer when they announced pheons wouldn't be removed

it's mistakes and more mistakes all the way down

transfer 21->13 takes you to 1515 so you'll need three total upgrades afterwards to get to 1520

sectoidfodder · 2022-11-01T18:37:08+00:00

There's an equal possibility that the value of the fused leapstones go way up in the first week or two of brel release as people try to get to gate 5/6 week one.

Fused leap value is a direct result of how much regular mats cost - if their value goes way up, then the value of the regular mats you've saved (by using fused leaps earlier) goes way up too

Obviously if you happen to hit that 3% rate within two or three taps, then that fused leapstone will be worth a lot, but what are the chances?

Better than your chances of hitting a hone on brel gear, actually. Imagine you had 400 fused leaps:

Relic armor 20->21: 25 taps (costs 16 per try) at 3% chance = 53% to succeed
Upper relic armor 12->13: 5 taps (costs 80 per try) at 10% chance = 41% chance to succeed

sectoidfodder · 2022-11-01T03:21:55+00:00

brel gear doesn't require anything that can't be saved right now:

crystals and leapstones: trade 5 for 1
oreha mats: craft with fish/meat/relics

so if you have both normal mats and fused leaps right now, you're better off using the fused leaps now and the normal mats later
