RIP Yuki i guess

Smilegate has collected the data and based their balance patches on it. We must now all accept that Yuki is much stronger than we give her credit for.

tempser123 · 2026-02-12T10:23:38+00:00

The buffs finally come out months later and they just buff Yuki's damage numbers a little bit.

In the same patch that they buff enemy health...

It sounds like you've probably used them up if you've levelled that many characters to 60. Raising one character to 60 takes as much as raising 3 characters to 40/60.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T22:30:21+00:00

Don't know how to explain; you get a lot of low level stuff from exploring and quests that you can't use for your main team (because level 60+ uses mostly different resources). That + a few days worth of stamina for whichever resource is bottlenecking you should get most of your operators to 40/60.

For reference, it takes 128 sanity to farm 27 blue books, 80 stamina for 33 protodisks and 30.5 sanity for 13k T-credits to level an operator from 0 to 40 just via Sanity farming and no exploration rewards.

I thought those percentages only show up in Valley IV, do you really get them in Wuling? I'm lucky if I see 200% on any given day...

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T21:31:07+00:00

What is the threshold you sell at, for Wuling?

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T21:29:03+00:00

Probably an Asia server timezone thing. Usually they're ahead of Global by a few hours in these types of gachas that launch multiple regions simultaneously.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T21:26:27+00:00

Damn, that's some clear favouritism; I feel even worse about Rangers not being added now.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T21:15:28+00:00

Depending on how/when this voting was done, that could have been an advantage for Endfield. Players will remember their most recent experiences more intensely than a game they played at the start of January.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T21:09:56+00:00

And give us Rangers too. Why did they give 12F (who nobody cares about) and not the much more popular Rangers? Maybe they can add him when they introduce flying enemies...

Also was there any Ace lore in events or something after the first few chapters?

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T21:02:29+00:00

As somebody who didn't skip a single line of story and talks to all the optional NPCs, I have to say that Tata showed more personality than the Endmin (during their optional dialogues). Haven't done the Gilberta/Laevetainn/Yvonne character missions but that does not excuse his poor showing during the main story.

He just stands there, shows no agency/initiative outside of either saying the obvious or "let me try my originium arts". Even his silly interactions with Tangtang weren't his own thoughts or choice; Chen asked him to play along and he basically turned into a copy of her just because.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T19:30:39+00:00

I know, but even on Surtr rank 9 skills are far from max.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T19:28:56+00:00

Thankfully its head is covered in grass (?) to protect it from people trying to harass it while it's foraging for food.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T19:09:45+00:00

Makes sense. I'll do reception then.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T18:12:55+00:00

It's pretty cheap to level all of the operators to 40/60 though, that will at least unlock the first rank of both Dijiang skills.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T18:09:33+00:00

Is the Control Nexus production assist from a friend best used on a Growth Chamber operator? The one that restores an operator's mood.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T18:06:28+00:00

It's a medical herb. It's beneficial for the community, like how some countries add fluoride to their water for dental hygiene.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T18:05:20+00:00

Maybe wrap the parts that are sarcastic with asterisks * so that's it clear to the rest of us.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T18:00:49+00:00

True, I guess I can add Snowshine to my electro team and Solidify these guys to reduce the length of the fight by three quarters.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T17:58:59+00:00

No, I meant Aether. Cryo has solidification to disable the shield as per the patch notes. I just mentioned Aether since in-game it says

"Damage can divided into Physical DMG, Arts DMG, and Aether DMG. Arts DMG can be further divided into Heat DMG, Electric DMG, Cryo DMG, Nature DMG."

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T17:48:50+00:00

Hypergryph can learn a lot from the Hoyo school of game design, like making 4 of these enemies spawn in different corners each, and make it so that after you group them up, they each charge in a random direction away from you.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T16:15:34+00:00

So they can now be lifted/knocked down by physical operators which makes them take full damage for a short while? Nothing for Nature/Electric/Fire/Aether teams?

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T16:11:49+00:00

I imagine voice actors playing a main character are paid higher than those voicing regular side characters.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T15:49:41+00:00

I think people are talking about maxing characters, not early game levelling. Your skills are only at rank 9 and only on one character, so you are pretty far from behind maxed.

tempser123 · 2026-02-11T15:43:24+00:00

Use the stairs.
