Slapping SW999's gear onto Waven seems to work fine

Slapping SW999's gear onto Waven seems to work fine

He just needs more CR and less SPD (thank goodness). Is 200SPD in combat still the benchmark?

Double the drops is double the trash

Mmm I love garbage.

>!Fuck Hoyo and Genshin and especially Epic Seven for popularising this garbage equipment system with randomised main and substats. Why does every gacha have to copy it too.!<

Archer's team is the best versus Dark Sam, use any other team versus normal Sam cuz it's too easy.

Archer is the only team I have that's able to 0-cycle Dark Sam because I don't have Firefly's E2, and even Ashblade (with E2 M. Blade) couldn't 0-cycle it and had to use a sustain.

Archer is also one of the very few to easily do sustainless on Dark Sam this MoC because you want to INSTANTLY kill the leftmost Penacony trio boss before it has a chance to take a single turn, hence why I used Robin to AA the whole team. Archer can frontload all his damage and focus fire on that one enemy so it cannot apply its super deadly DoTs. After that the fight becomes realy easy.

Build:

  • E1S1 Archer + Sig LC (His E1 not needed at all, I had so much SP that E0 Archer would have been easy), Genius + Salsatto

  • E1S1 Sparkle + Sunday LC, 169 SPD, Eagle + Lushaka (pseudo-200 SPD build)

  • E0 Rin + literally whatever LC, use Calculus if you have nothing else, 155 SPD, Scholar + Converging Stars

  • E1S5 Robin + March LC, 2pc/2pc ATK + Vonwacq

Rin doesn't need to be faster than Sparkle. As long as Rin has a turn in between every Sparkle turn, you will always have the JA available. In this fight as well I didn't even have to use Rin's skill to refresh her Speed buff.

My first quadruple 0-cycle!

Team investment: E0S0 Ashveil (Cruising S5), E1S0 Gil (Aeon S5), E2S0 M. Blade (Tutorial S5), E1S0 Tribbie (DDD S5). I GUESS I need to add +2 cost for dual Global Passives.

Yeah I think Monomen is undoubtedly the best team in the game by far. Even without E2 M. Blade and shill buffs, it's still leagues above Elation and Monorem right now. And unlike the scams that are Rem and Elation, monomen has actually great F2P LCs (or inversely, the sigs are not much of an upgrade) which keep overall team cost relatively low.

Gil was the missing piece needed to secure 0-cycles for AA this time. Saber + Gil was super easy on Argenti's side, which freed up Sparkle to join Phainon to 0-cycle Ilwish. Ironically the hardest 0-cycle was Svarog because Tribbie was being used by SaberGil and Huohuo was a brick Knight 2 due to Depowered.

Why is the standard leverless face buttons on left and shoulder buttons on the right?

I recently bought a Razer Kitsune which is my first ever fightstick, and I am finding it much more intuitive to have Circle (A/B for Switch/Xbox users) to be positioned where my ring finger is so any combination of S, T, X and O can be pressed with any of my first 4 fingers of my right hand (typically for most fighting games, this is all you need), and the pinky finger can be a dedicated "shortcut" key. And I don't have to change my finger positions struggling to press odd combinations like T+O or S+O (or a triple or quad button combination).

If needed, I'll just move my entire right hand down to access the 3 right buttons on the 2nd row.

I grew up playing piano so this is much more intuitive to me akin to playing chords.

Are there any wireless leverless controllers for the PS5?

I love the look and feel of the Razer Kitsune but it being wired makes it very inconvenient in a living room setup. I wish they would release a wireless version, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

The only setup I can think of is to use the 8bitdo Leverless for Switch, then use a Brook Wingman2 FGC adapter and I can see some people use this setup. Would it allow me to wake up the PS5 from sleep, and is there a per-key customisation for the controller?

I also hear there's some issue where it could only work for 8 minutes at a time, I'm not sure if this is true or not.

Was told by washing machine installers that the cold water tap is too close to the wall

They said they can't connect the washing machine because the connector hose is too big to screw on to the cold water inlet and I need to call a plumber to move the taps. They just up and left.

I have no idea what to do, I've never done plumbing in my life and I just spend thousands on the washing machine only to spend thousands more on a plumber to move taps.

I don't need hot water for the machine they said, could I just switch the hoses at the top so cold water runs through the red tap and connect it there? I also am afraid of doing this myself because I dont want leaks.

Valeriy being 4-star shows why other Hoyo games no longer have 4-stars/A-ranks

Remember when Manato from ZZZ was announced as A-rank? The entire internet rioted yet Hoyo didn't budge. Moze from HSR had similar reactions albeit to a much lesser extent, although power-level wise he was much better than Topaz, his 5-star equivalent in gameplay (Follow-Up sub-DPS). 5-star tier designs, 4-star gameplay rarity.

Genshin will probably never go the "every character is a 5-star" route because it means they'd have to increase primogem income to balance it. It sucks because if RNG is not on your side, you could go hundreds if not thousands of pulls without getting the 4-star you want (me after 230 pulls finally getting a single Prune).

For now it's not officially confirmed but prepare for the worst (as in, he'll definitely be C6 locked). I can't imagine what gameplay value he'll bring because we have Nicole as a very strong generalist ATK buffer/shielder already, unless Valeriy is a SSC buffer + shielder.

PSA: Use Rangiku as your Thrust Support while we wait for a proper Strike Support.

Luckily Grimmjow inflicts Ailment so Mayuri works on him fine. If there's content that happens to require both Thrust and Strike at the same time like this week's Frenzy Feast, just use Rangiku as your Thrust Support and Mayuri as your Strike Support.

There's also good ol' Kisuke for Yoruichi (she doesn't work with Mayuri), but it means you have to use Yachiru + Kenpachi on our Slash team. Yachiru is VERY cope without Kenny so if you don't have both...well there's always B1 Sajin with Kisuke stamps and Crit DMG bond. He's very mid (just use Technique and swap out once every 25 seconds) but at least he's better than Nemu.

Is Nel a bad partner for TS Ichigo?

The two of them are fighting for on-field time. Even with a UER% piece and a ton of UER% substats, Nel still takes too much time on-field and the AI constantly switches to MAYURI after Nel enables counter switching.

Would a double support core (Mayuri/Kisuke or Mayuri/Rangiku) work better than Mayuri/Nel?

Considering getting a washer/dryer combo when I already have a dryer

Alright here me out. I have a dryer preinstalled in my apartment and I cannot remove it as a renter. However, it is an extremely small dryer (vented dryer) with a capacity of only 4.5kg.

The washing machine I'm currently eyeing is a 12kg front loader (there are 4 people in the apartment with me hence the need for a large machine). Thing is, the washer/dryer combo for the same brand is 12kg/8kg, and it is a nearly identical model in terms of features and dimensions, AND it is the same price because the washer/dryer is on sale at a bigger discount, while the front loader washer-only is only on sale at a small discount.

Since I already have a dryer, this gives me both the flexibility of washing a load to the max capacity, and then I can also split the load into two to dry concurrently. The combo is a condenser, which may actually be better because it won't release moisture into the air which would be good for small loads, in theory (and is a hell of a lot quieter than the vented dryer).

If I ever do small loads (like a few garments), I can just toss it in the washer/dryer combo and leave it overnight. If I wash something heavy like a duvet or towels, then the vented dryer can take care of that while the rest dry in the combo.

So I wanted to ask you guys, is this a viable solution? Is the washing function on a washer/dryer (assuming I just wash clothes and don't use the dryer function) as good as a dedicated washer?

Suffering from success

EDIT: he needs 25% CR from subs assuming you have a CR mainstat.

Ichigo needs 75% CR from stamps (43% from substats alone), sigh....

Ulquiorra bond helps for now but getting to 100% CR is just as painful as with Kenpachi.

Remember:

  • 4 CR rolls is 19.2%
  • 3 CR rolls is 15.3%
  • 2 CR rolls is 11.5%
  • 1 CR rolls is 7.6% (minimum as long as you have CR on substat as going from 25 > 30 guarantees +1 substat roll for all 4 substats)

Assuming your Weapon Stamp is A1 (20% CR) + 5% base CR and 32% from CR mainstat, you need 8 CR rolls for a total of 99.1% CR or 9 CR rolls for 102.9% CR (overkill but you guarantee crits).

The distribution of CR rolls among your pieces is therefore 4+2+2 or 4+3+1 or 3+3+2. Good luck farming, you'll need it.
