u/Arc_Set

I'm literally 1 pull off pity, with 4 boxes saved.

Thanks for any help.

I'm thinking either:

Yi An R4 for carry revive (especially Taranis vs Gorath-Sakura), R6 stats buffing.

or R6 Maria for extra turns in 3 of the Lands and FF. Basically PvP vs PvE.

Than maybe JJ for clutching or Ikki for survival.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on who's the most valuable.

I assume that even if the new guy's added to the shop, he won't be added to the existing boxes.

On Flow mini-boss (Thunder/Avatara):

Max-HP (control):

S1: 357,125 | S3: 93,006 (stopping after one hit?)

Single target +8%:
S1: 389,425 | S3: 93,905.

S1 increases by more than +8%, but barely more than +9%, so could be due to rounding and possibly the point that the SPD dmg is added in.

S3 increases by about 1%.

AOE +8%:

S1: 360,575 | S3: 101,418.

S1 increased by about 1%.

S3 increased by just over 9%.

These numbers are very consistent, though the results are odd.

I suspect we can attribute the +~1% increase to some spaghetti code that retrofits sonics into the damage equation; testing this with dmg and final-dmg bonuses might reveal something.

The main results are that despite both being stated to be random single target skills, at least the sonics clearly treat the S1 as single target and the S3 as AoE.

Also, the S1 will always complete, even if it causes over kill, but the S3 will end if all enemies are defeated in less than 5 hits (I may test later by weakening him to check this is what's happening). Presumable this is because of the prioritising mechanic of S1.

So the take away is:
If most of your damage come from R6 triggers, or you are trying to cleave in PvP, use the AoE sonic.

If most of your damage comes from assists and normal cool-downs, with brawler and MEira, then single target might serve you better.

Not getting a single one this season.

Is it just you need to get in 1st before it locks?

Thanks for any insights.

The 1st time it was rather out of the blue, now now I've got another.

Is this happening to lots of people?

Thanks for any insight.

I've just been experimenting in VR with 100% crit Taranus and the single-target/AoE, to try and make sure that his skills were counted as single-target.

However, I found that equipping either mase absolutely no different to his damage.

That I tried replacing them with the extra HP sonic and that still gave exactly the same results.

Are the +8% DMG sonics just not functioning?

Are there any of the other sonics we know aren't working either?

Thanks for any insight.

Thanks for any advice.

After burning through a lot of FTP hoarding for Yi An R1 and getting R2 Maria in a very lucky multi-pull, I wondering who to aim for now.

Moro, from base, as a new DPS.

Yi An eventual R6, to increase the stat buffing and provide one revive.

Maria R6 for extra turns.

Petros base for utility.

Ikki r1 for protection.

Jiang resos for more power.
