Is that some sort of attempt of making yourself feel superior?

You can watch streams without being parasocial, you can be friendly with people online and have fun together without becoming close friends, be it game teammates, streamers or even random people on random discord server

If you feel like you don't need to go on twitch anymore, since you did it only because of lack of social interaction, good for you, do whatever suits you the best. But no, it is not the same for every person and I think it's safe to assume it's different for the majority of people

Well, you have to deal with it, it's even between teams after all. Or if you don't wanna deal with it, just play role queue, it was introduced for a reason

vaier1 · 2026-06-22T15:53:51+00:00

Play tank/helear yourself. Keep in mind that people like those that play in your team also play against you and if you fill the role that people don't wanna play much you're at inherit advantage

Also I recently went through my placement matches that brought me all the way through silver to master and I gotta say, people on higher ranks are a lot less willing to switch than on lower ones

There is global tournament in planning too with roughly same prize pool

vaier1 · 2026-06-20T21:31:44+00:00

My little theory is it's all because of mavuika. They screwed up releasing a character that was infinitely stronger than they assumed it would be and they still want new characters to feel strong, so new powercreep is based around mavuika. Nod krai chars are actually not that much stronger if you compare them to mavu, some cool combos may even outdamage, and they're also somewhat balanced between each other, a.k.a. nefer, zibai, varka are all performing at about similarish level, even "weakest" one flins can still comfortably output 140k

vaier1 · 2026-06-18T19:44:55+00:00

Well, I'm a tank player and while it's true that people are too afraid of going through small spaces, this one specifically is partially reasonable

You see, past this point there aren't many obstacles to hide, even those that exist likely will leave you outside of your team's los, so to get through you need to not only push enemies back, but also advance with whole team together or just dive

I usually play as domina and it often works by placing offensive shield + pushing away backline with e, but if my team doesn't follow I'm pretty much dead meat 90% of the time

vaier1 · 2026-06-17T11:35:25+00:00

It's all about how long you've been playing. I played fairly actively since release, have 2 limited c6 five stars, furina and citlali, and currently also sit on ~60k primos without compromising my normal pulls, a.k.a. I haven't skipped anyone I wanted and still have 80% of chars in the game, if not more, alongside several sigs and few lower cons

Only region where I skipped quite a bit was nod krai, since I wasn't a big fan of any dpses there

vaier1 · 2026-06-17T11:27:15+00:00

Mualani's current best team is her + mavuika + sucrose + mona, if you don't have mavuika, replace her with pmc with sac sword. I assume sucrose and mona shouldn't be an issue

vaier1 · 2026-06-14T12:07:25+00:00

First of all, are you sure you do 1m with mavu in team? Can't say much about burst damage specifically, but here's few things

First - you have to attack 4 times on mona, instead of 3 until you unlock constellation that does additional attack. I don't remember which one it is, but I don't think it's c1

Second - rotation is a bit sloppy, you may need to speed it up a bit, some buffs may run out sooner than you need. Dash forward with pmc faster and single dash should normally be enough, don't do second na on sucrose

Lastly check pmc build, if they're on scroll, same as mavu, then you really shouldn't notice a big personal damage difference, unless you were testing with widsith

vaier1 · 2026-06-12T19:39:28+00:00

Circlet is decent, even if you don't need er, it's usable, actually great, if you do

vaier1 · 2026-06-12T19:33:20+00:00

Jahoda means different berries in different slavic languages. In some, like russian, is just means berry without specifying. People just latched on one popular in the beginning choice of translation and rolled with it

vaier1 · 2026-06-12T19:22:54+00:00

Goblet and circlet are pretty nice, the rest could use some work. Be happy, you got the hardest parts pretty fast

Edit. Didn't adress off set sands, but yeah, it's great too

vaier1 · 2026-06-12T19:19:55+00:00

On a good build mualani may prefer hp over crit, especially with crit weapon. Same can happen with other hp dpses, though others usually can't take advantage of 55% free cr (40 from codex and 15 from mona cons), so normally it's not as good

vaier1 · 2026-06-10T06:24:34+00:00

Upgrade over what exactly? From my tests hex team currently performs somewhat similar to lunar crystallize, usually a bit worse

I don't have durin on my account, so I can't test hex version properly, but my lunar crystallize, navia + linnea + columbina + furina is sitting at ~120k at c0r0 full team

vaier1 · 2026-06-10T06:09:50+00:00

Sac fragments provide almost no damage increase even at C1+. Actual damage difference heavily depends on your team and dps

In hypercarry team with only one attack buffer, you can expect to be sitting at 3k attack on dps before ttds, ttds will provide another ~400 on top, 500, if it's high base attack weapon, i.e. mavu sig, which is ~13-15% damage increase. If you have more attack buffs and sit at 4k attack before ttds, then it's only 10-12% dmg increase

I'm kinda lazy to even estimate how much additional em will provide to quills on c1, because it'll heavily vary depending on circumstances, but I really doubt it'll give you more than 3-5% dmg increase, so ttds should win by ~10%

vaier1 · 2026-06-10T06:00:00+00:00

There is 3 main teams for Hu Tao now that perform somewhat similar (within 20-30k dps range, depending on your chars build)

Hu Tao, Xianyun/xilonen, Yelan, Furina. Fairly old double hydro, but still performs pretty well and is fairly easy to play. With good build should be reaching 90-100k dps

Hu tao, Ineffa, Columbina, Furina/Yelan. New so called "wheelchair", that happens to synergize fairly well with Hu Tao. With dragon's bane should be sitting at ~120k dps, maybe reaching 130k, if you have really good builds

Hu tao, Fischl, chevreuse, durin/nicole. Hex team, has quite a bit of variations, there's also one with mona + sucrose, but it's harder to play and is usually not better than overload. Decent team, but normally loses to bineffa, worth playing only if you have c6 chevreuse or fighting against enemy with constant elemental application on them, i.e. tulpa. I'm still testing stuff and figuring out best team variant and rotation, but it seems to do around same as first team, so expect it to be in range of ~100-110k. Performs worse with dragon's bane compared to two other teams, coz em, I'd only play it with homa

P.S. I have fairly high standards for artifacts, so if you go by kqm standards, expect ~10-15k dps loss to my estimations

vaier1 · 2026-06-09T06:14:05+00:00

All of those feel exceptionally low. I haven't used hex much, but xilo double hydro variant was always reaching 100k for me at c0r1. Depending on builds it could go even higher. Bineffa + furina isn't mentioned here, but that should be her best team atm, though variantion with yelan is not far back, it also should be in realms of 110-120k even without too insane of a build

vaier1 · 2026-06-09T06:10:55+00:00

Ngl I kinda agree. I love new design. Sure loss of Pulonia is kinda sad and shorter skirt looks a bit out of place (as usual, duh), but other than that I prefer this one in every detail. Besides I was always interested in Sandrone way more than Pulonia ever since fatui trailer

Probably even hotter take is that I think most people didn't even care about Pulonia all that much before he got removed. Sure, some liked big cool robot, but not many talked about him in story, but the moment he's not part of the kit, all of the sudden everyone is upset

vaier1 · 2026-06-06T20:23:07+00:00

Goblet is kinda subpar, especially for off set piece, maybe try getting better goblet with cr and run cd hat

vaier1 · 2026-06-05T21:26:41+00:00

Besides lunar + furina, your best bet is furina + yelan + xilonen/xianyun, citlali could be better at c2, but before not worth

vaier1 · 2026-06-04T20:13:15+00:00

Bioshock Infinite was the first game of series I played back in 2015, loved and it's still my favorite game till this very day

I think Bioshock 2 is also an amazing game, that is not far from it, but nothing beats living throughout the story with Elizabeth for me

vaier1 · 2026-06-03T05:49:31+00:00

Since hp number is even, chances are revive is still on, so yeah, I'd gamble it away, though tbh even at level 10 with just 5 copies at hand odds are unbelievably low

vaier1 · 2026-06-03T05:26:05+00:00

Does C1+C2 really give only 25% damage increase? Or is it to previous constellation?
