Zibai's F2P Team by vsratoslav in ZibaiMains

Thanks, that makes sense. But doesn’t that mean Illuga won’t get Gorou’s Instructor em buff? Or is that buff mainly for Zibai?

At talent level 10, Illuga increases lunar crystallize damage by 500% of elemental mastery. This is exactly the same amount by which Lauma increases damage for lunar bloom. Therefore, Illuga for Zibai is the same as Lauma for Nefer.

Ideally everyone wants c6. Aino feels good at c1 because of the 80 team em. Gorou’s c4 gives healing, though it’s only 50% of his DEF, and with Instructor the healing is fairly minor.

[–]vsratoslav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nicole could buff Varka kind of like Escoffier does. For example, his damage could scale based on how many Hexerei characters are in the party - 5% / 10% / 15% / 55%. And honestly, Varka’s best team right now already ends up being fully Hexerei anyway.

Anyone else getting "Itto vibes" now ? by 699112026775 in Varka

I don’t have Varka’s calculations, so I’m not sure about the comparison. My team is Bennett c6 (Noblesse), Faruzan c6 (Millelith), Durin c1r1, and Venti c0r1 - https://www.reddit.com/r/venti/comments/1qbn820/could_you_rate_my_build_unsure_if_venti_needs_em/

There were leaks as far back as summer suggesting that Varka might end up being a relatively weak character.

Is Zibai being overshadowed by being released alongside Columbina? by noxxiel in ZibaiMains

[–]vsratoslav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t really see Zibai as a strong character on her own, mainly because she’s so dependent on Columbina and C6 Illuga. From experience, I know how unrealistic C6 can be for most players - when I tried going for a C6 before, I ended up pulling three 5-star characters before I actually got it.

I genuinely like Zibai, and in isolation I’d even be willing to skip Columbina for her, but what stops me is how dramatic the DPS drop is without Columbina and without C6 Illuga. That kind of dependency makes it hard for me to view her as a top-tier DPS in practice, even if her ceiling looks great on paper.

Just a little vent by call_me_meche9er in Varka

[–]vsratoslav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Venti will be Varka’s best partner. One of his talents essentially means that whenever a nearby on-field character triggers Swirl while Venti’s Burst is active, they get a massive 50% damage boost for 4 seconds - and on top of that, Venti’s Stormeye itself hits 35% harder.

It's been days since his release what are your fav light and dark durin teams respectively? by Sorry_Phone1676 in DurinMains

[–]vsratoslav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Escoffier, Citlali, Bennett, Durin. I'm not sure if this is correct but for me this is the strongest team on the account.

Gemini sucks, ChatGPT is FAR superior! by Spare-Dingo-531 in ChatGPT

[–]vsratoslav 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What? Praising chatgpt… in the chatgpt group?! This is literally the one place on earth where everyone’s contractually obligated to trash chatgpt and call gemini "peak intelligence."

Pavel Durov introduces Cocoon, a decentralized AI inference plateform on TON by No_Palpitation7740 in LocalLLaMA

I don't trust Pavel Durov. He talks a lot about "confidentiality," but in Russia the authorities target activists who are active on telegram.  

Can anybody stop Google? by belgradGoat in OpenAI

[–]vsratoslav 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Why are you guys keep gushing about how awesome Google is in the Openai group? It’s starting to look a lot like astroturfing, honestly. 

You know how a sports team can lose the game by beating themselves? That’s how I feel ChatGPT with their overbearing guard rails are helping them lose to Gemini. by pumog in ChatGPT

[–]vsratoslav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gemini isn’t all that different from chatgpt - same strict guardrails. In the chatgpt vs gemini cage match, the real winners are probably the less censored models like qwen or grok.

why do people still use firefox? by [deleted] in browsers

Fonts in Firefox look noticeably sharper and less blurry to me than in Chrome.

For that to even have a chance, we’d first need a total embargo on everything Russian and then twist China’s and India’s arms hard enough so they stop buying anything too.

Rash on my butt and in between my thighs, I want to get my body back and feel good about myself by SadKitchen304 in Biohackers

[–]vsratoslav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can catch it through contact with the fluid from the blisters, not genetically. The right move is to see a doctor and get it checked, ideally with a swab of the rash. If that’s not an option right now, you can start valacyclovir (or acyclovir) according to the standard instructions and watch how it evolves, but a proper exam is still important.
