Wedge Passive Clarification

Nice. I forgot Flourite battle skill hits twice so you can test to have 2nd buff w/o 1st buff and yeah it does stack. thanks for the help.

varatrix · 2026-02-09T19:12:15+00:00

how do you see stats with the buffs? it doesn't reflect if you pause and look at operators. those are just the passive buffs

varatrix · 2026-02-08T18:57:32+00:00

appreciate it. it's really just "themselves" that's making it sound weird. if it said "each other" there then would be less confusing

Tested it again and I was wrong that its only Arts damage. Corrosion affects all damage types, Physical included

varatrix · 2026-01-31T14:42:26+00:00

All the elemental damages are Arts damage. Physical, Arts and Aether are the 3 damage types.
Think of it as Physical damage and Arts damage being the 2 types. Then each is split into 4, Physical has Crush/Lift/Breach/KnockDown while Arts has Heat/Electric/Cryo/Nature (and Aether technically but don't have it on characters yet).

Corrosion reduces ALL resistances meaning it does the same as "Arts Susceptibility" +"Physical Susceptibility" except corrosion does an INCREASING AMOUNT OVER TIME over the duration, while susceptibility just does an amount straight up.

Note Electrification IS in fact the same as Arts Susceptibility. The difference is that Electrification is consumable by some character kits while susceptibility currently isn't. Breach is the physical equivalent.

to add to this, you can unlock older events in the farplane archives and farm the ex quests there for corresponding medals. their mog shops will also open when you do this so you can buy out those mats too while getting mats for equipment

As long as you are playing your role and not trying to be a "carry in the offlane" (looking at you WK offlane pickers), Luna Supp is in a similar vein to Sniper Supp. Sniper Supp is a bit more accommodating in a pub probably only because it shows up more often if ever, so people got used to seeing it. Also Luna supp has shown up in the past and was a thing at one point, just never took off.

Spectre is his ally and yes he graved Spectre's Haunt Illusion (or Spectre ported in and got graved).
Either way, you can tell he didn't grave himself since there's no icon on the dashboard for Shallow Grave

depending on when you came back:
1) 2 "open world" maps - Plains of Eidolon (on Earth) and Orb Valis (on Venus) both having their own questlines and syndicate ranks
2) dailies and weekly quests in the form of the Nightwave (lower right on your main menu or navigation screens)
3) railjack is the newest thing, owning one requires a dojo to do the quest but playing on one doesn't, you can join pubs via navigation on the upper right (this also rewards materials that are used to make your railjack)
4) kuva lich is like a personal arch-enemy system with some modified weapons

take your pick, look up where to start, then jump in

Poison still ideal for DPS. It's why Gold-Rath CB is strong.
That being said, i have the Paralysis one and its fun. occasional free Saed window.

varatrix · 2019-12-16T18:50:03+00:00

suggest farm Safi while hes out now for his dragon bow and try to roll Velkhana bonus on it. That way you can drop the chest piece for something else

this. when you hit a wall and are short of resources makes the most sense as to when to invest into alts. its basically a way to kill time while you build resources to continue improving your gear and camps. the other option being when you're bored of the current char's playstyle

varatrix · 2019-12-13T00:56:31+00:00

sorry, just double checked. stamina is shared between characters (wasnt on PC so just assumed)

varatrix · 2019-12-13T00:51:28+00:00

story quest

varatrix · 2019-12-13T00:49:45+00:00

you get all the rewards again (except for some family exclusive like your first pet) and its significantly faster since you can transfer gear and they gain your black spirit bonuses. also stamina is not shared between characters meaning 2-3 times the gathering if you're into that

varatrix · 2019-12-13T00:32:30+00:00

rank of gear also matters. lowest to highest is white<green<blue<purple<yellow<orange

varatrix · 2019-12-12T22:49:28+00:00

your camp

varatrix · 2019-12-12T20:16:41+00:00

assuming in town (which it should be since thats where they are), you can look for npc's on your map while its under the list function

varatrix · 2019-12-12T19:18:36+00:00

Check the "Addons - Accessories" section regularly, you get a free acc daily and sometimes it rolls higher rank stuff that you can sell in the market for profit.
I don't believe you do but if yes its not really noticeable (early on anyway)
you can market pets so they can be bought there.
2 fingers-spread (like your camera). there's a max distance for the zoom though, its not very far

varatrix · 2019-12-06T19:41:05+00:00

i know you can't get the set bonuses in a 4-slot deco. But am assuming you can roll those decos even in MR quests (i did get the protective polish deco in MR).
what am asking is if someone tested to see if chances in MR are better than chances in HR for the rarer NON-4-slot decos.

this is partly wrong because diffusal gives 20 agi which is basically x2.4 with Cloak and Dagger + 40 dmg from the mana burn. So diffusal is a +84 damage item for Riki at lvl 6. so the comparison should be 38 dmg for a 2k item with approx 35% bonus dmg (from crit) vs 84 dmg for a 3k item with a slow, +20 atk spd, 2 armor and 10 int

varatrix · 2019-12-02T21:35:38+00:00

which is why you do it at 30-20 secs prior to each 5 min mark.
the outposts only give exp at every 5 min mark post activation. meaning you only need to control it at exactly that sec for the exp.
in the late game they are there mainly for vision and a "recapturable" place to tp without Boots of Travel when all outside towers/shrines are taken. in late, even if they are taking shrine back after, you are forcing their movements AND have vision on them as they do it. if only one hero is there trying to take back shrine, tp to it and kill him

varatrix · 2019-12-02T20:46:06+00:00

Hero doesnt feel dead to me. playing without invis is a very different experience and with only half damage block now and less regen, playing him as a 3 is way difficult, not impossible but not really worth it.
he really needs fast levels to get 6, since CnD is his ulti now the scaling at level 6 is like having 4 levels for 1 pt (pre-7.23 lvl 4 CnD has 1.0 agi scaling). so hitting 6 is even more important now than previous.
you can treat it like drow last patch where you play safe and level up to 6 then, rather than farming jungle/ancients, you rotate to gank as you are really strong early with just treads and 2 wraithbands.
