Last time I had 0 full lunar teams and couldn't do anything, now I have 2 ( but surprisingly Zibai had much easier time than my c1 Nefer? probably cause the duckies eat all the lauma quills )
I'm playing her with CMC, Sucrose, Diona/Qiqi
Also is lvl 90 necessary? Ik that direct stellar damage ignores the levels, but what about stellar swirl and vortices? How impactful is lvl 90 for that ?
I was too impatient to wait to properly build CMC and Mizuki but turns out they were good enough for abyss
( also it's very nice that Mizuki can use 2pc2pc EM, she was built entirely from Nefer leftovers )
I'm planning on skipping everyone until mualani's rerun and I'm wondering if I can survive the stellar meta without Odette or not 🫠
In a triple cryo team with Sandrone/Yae/Diona/Qiqi is it good idea to give her the support set or keep her on the DPS set?
Her DPS set gives 40% stellar conduct damage bonus and 16% cr, whereas the support set gives 12% attack and 50% stellar damage bonus, so she'd be losing 16% cr while gaining 12% attack and 10% dmg bonus and of course buffing sandrone.
I don't have any electro stellar supports nor do I plan on going for odette so I was curious if this team could get any better with new artifacts set coming out
I haven't seen any showcases or even calcs for SSW sandrone ever since they stripped her of her artifact sets :(
Is she really that bad in SSW compared to Mizuki ?
I don't have mualani yet, but I'm saving my wishes rn and if she does come back in 7.1 I should be able to get c1r0, but I was wondering if I could then 1 more 5* pull for her, would her c2 or her r1 be better?
I'm kinda confused as to what her c2 actually does in practice, cause I keep seeing people mention her being able to do split rotations with her c2 but then I saw some yt comparisons and they were doing split rotarions with c1 as well?
Also I know that her sig is really good, but I also don't mind the widisth ( it makes it even more fun imo lol ) but I was wondering whether widisth is even usable for split rotations because of the 10s buff uptime on it, so maybe getting her sig would be better?
I felt betrayed by columbina when I saw how much damage she's stealing from Nefer compared to aino teams by not running anyone on the instructor, so I had to try this out
somehow this performed better than the usual 2pc2pc/serenade/deepwood setup by a few thousand DPS ( in practice the usual setup is probably better cause buffs last much longer but lets ignore that and slander columbina )
Mostly cause I keep seeing people just telling everyone ''pull columbina'' when someone's asking how to fix/increase their damage, but for me she's merely a 15% upgrade over c6 aino, which I did NOT expect after hearing so many good things about her.
Maybe it's my Columbina's build that isn't that great? but then the same build added 40k DPS to my Zibai team whereas for Nefer she only added 20-25k DPS😢
The only case where she actually does substantially increase the DPS is with instructor's sucrose, but playing that feels much worse than playing any aino team imo, so the QoL argument kinda goes out the window...
I just feel letdown because I expected my Nefer's team DPS reach 200k like it's nothing once I get columbina, but it kinda didn't lol
( reposted this cause this low increase had me questioning if I used wrong sets on supports )
crafted a goblet that turned out to be so bad, and still I went from top 14% to 3% ( ik the leaderboards shown are different but even in the vape one she's top 3% )
''Less motion value than Mizuki '', NeferHater77 said ''She's cone''
(okay she is c1 here but that's the least you can ask for when fighting what was supposed to be a 135% res enemy 😭😭 )
Anyways thanks to his stygian testing stream I realized the boss can have longer unshielded phase than I initially thought so thanks to him for that discovery
Clearing with non shilled teams is always the most fun
Nefer with c1, everyone else c0r0
I thought that maybe I had to gamble with widsith and getting 2 EM buffs, but surprisingly blackmarrow was enough. I'm pretty sure the boss has some RNG in his attack/shielding patterns, cause sometimes I'd get to do only 2 full rotations and sometimes 3
Anyways it actually pains me that I managed to do this, cause I pulled sandrone specifically for this cause I really don't have a single good electro/cryo character and now I've realized that she wasn't even neccessary and seems like she's going to be Emilie of Snezhnaya and not Ineffa as I hoped 💔
I pulled sandrone specifically for this boss cause I have no (good) cryo/electro characters and you're telling me that I could have done it with a Nefer team as well ( she IS c1r0 tho but still )
I'm sorry Nefer that I ever doubted you, you're the goat 😔
if i understood correctly, he gives 100EM to the on fielder and can hold the instructor's for 120EM and give 20EM through the dendro resonance
this kinda makes him competitive with Nahida, and on top of that he's an actual healer
Just got Columbina and went from doing 165k to this, but I was wondering what's the expected ceiling for c1r0 ?
I doubt I'd get there cause of my horrendous ping and low fps not allowing me to minmax my rotations but I just wanted to have a reference.
Also is there anything I could improve about my builds, Nefer and Columbina specifically? I'm especially lost on Columbina cause aside from 35k HP and 75% crit rate idk what the other stats should look like
Genuinely shocked, even though I've tried balancing her crit and ER around my Nefer's team, she added only 30k DPS there but somehow she added 40k here...
And my c3 Illuga and c6 gorou performed basically the same in a team with Yelan ( both doing 130k ) but for some reason Illuga gets brutally mogged by gorou in this team by like 15k at least??
not complaining tho, I'm glad all that gorou building wasn't for nothing and now I feel less bad about not getting Illuga's c6
I was curious to see whether the cryo resonance actually significantly affects her damage since I've seen a lot of people telling me not to account for it and some people telling me to account for it while building her, so I went to the dummy and did a little experiment.
My Yae has 70cr at a baseline, so with the new set + cryo resonance she should always crit.
I've decided to do 2 runs, one where I just played her as she is, with 70cr ( 2nd pic) and one where I gave her additional 14crit rate ( 1st pic ), so that even without the cryo resonance she would be on 100%crit rate. The logic here was that the difference in Miko's personal DPS between those two runs should be caused only if she ever misses a crit when she relies on cryo resonance to be at 100%cr. That'd prove that cryo resonance has bad uptime for her.
The difference ended up being 4.8% increase in her personal DPS when I gave her additional crit, meaning that the cryo resonance should not have 100% uptime for her.
However the damage increase was kinda small? Is 30cv worth the 4.8% DPS increase? Cause mind you, I've just added this cv to my build, but in reality this cv has to come from somewhere ( either from lowering her EM/ATK/CD rolls ) so the DPS increase should be even lower? If that's how this works then I'd say it's safe to assume cryo resonance even in double cryo ( but not double electro) teams when building her.
Also there's a possibility of SSC stacks not being consistently equal in those 2 runs so that might have affected the results but I really couldn't keep track of that 😭😭
Also the build shows widsith r5, but I used blackcliff agate for the testing, so it's basically a widsith with no passive.
Thoughts? Is my logic flawed or is it actually good to assume cryo resonance while building her?
( also ignore the overall DPS, my sandrone is HEAVILY underbuilt, this is about Yae's damage 😅)
almost was able to brute force it with Zibai, but slotting in a random electro instead made it much easier to beat the cactus
All hail to c3 Mona, can't wait to get her c4 for the anniversary 🤑
Just until recently I was stuck on 70k DPS, but after playing this team for some time I finally got my 3rd 100k DPS team 🥳
Now the question is, should I invest more into the team ( i.e get Arle's c1 cause I'm using PJWS and get her set ofc cause she's on 2pc2pc ) given how rampant the powercreep is. I really want to have an excuse to play this team in the endgame ( fearless ) but I feel like by the time I get this team to a satisfactory level, the DPS requirements might just jump so high that even then I won't be able to clear stuff.... but at the same time I can't even find the calcs for c1 hex vape team
I know that Arle isn't ranked as high, at least at kqm standards, but I keep seeing her c1r1 teams clearing dire, so I'm really confused...
Do you guys think it's worth investing more into her, especially since there are some rumours about her rerunning pretty soon ?
Every stygian I try to use Chasca I just get reminded why everybody has her at c2r1...
I thought that sustainless team wouldn't last enough with all the electro vomit the 3rd boss leaves on the floor and how aggresive it is, but somehow I died less times than when I tried playing teams with multiple healers ( and I still hear ppl saying that sustainless teams are not real smh )
