blizzardvizard posted:Let's be real QQ is actually a Destruction is disguise anyway She's really more of a Harmony in the Erudition class. Her kit is very similar to Robin's in a lot of ways, but focused on buffing 1 ally instead of the whole team. She's basically the Ratio support and will really make Team IPC hum until we get a Destruction or Hunt Stoneheart. Now my dilemma is, do I still grab Boothill and try for his cone next patch, or save for Jade and her cone? It's tough.

Wasn't there a thing in her leak kit that whoever had her buff also lost HP every time they did an attack?

out of curiosity btw heres all the element class/combos Phys/Abundance: Natasha Phys/Destruction: Clara, Batblazer Phys/Erudition: Argenti Phys/Harmony: Robin, Hanya Phys/Hunt: Boothill, Sushang Phys/Nihility: Luka Phys/Preservation: N/A Fire/Abundance: Gallagher Fire/Destruction: Firefly, Hook Fire/Erudition: Himeko Fire/Harmony: Asta Fire/Hunt: Topaz Fire/Nihility: Guinafen Fire/Preservation: Lanceblazer Ice/Abundance: N/A (why isnt lynx ice) Ice/Destruction: Jingliu, Misha Ice/Erudition: Herta Ice/Harmony: Ruan Mei Ice/Hunt: Yanqing Ice/Nihility: Pela Ice/Preservation: Gepard, March Lightning/Abundance: Bailu Lightning/Destuction: Arlan Lightning/Erudition: Jing Yuan, Serval Lightning/Harmony: Tingyun Lightning/Hunt: N/A Lightning/Nihility: Acheron, Kafka Lightning/Preservation: N/A Wind/Abundance: Huohuo Wind/Destruction: Blade Wind/Erudition: N/A Wind/Harmony: Bronya Wind/Hunt: Dan Heng Wind/Nihility: Sampo, Black Swan Wind/Preservation: N/A Quantum/Abundance: Lynx Quantum/Destruction: Xueyi Quantum/Erudition: Qingque, Jade Quantum/Harmony: Sparkle Quantum/Hunt: Seele Quantum/Nihility: Silver Wolf Quantum/Preservation: Fu Xuan Imaginary/Abundance: Luocha Imaginary/Detruction: Lunae Imaginary/Erudition: N/A Imaginary/Harmony: Yukong Imaginary/Hunt: Ratio Imaginary/Nihility: Welt Imaginary/Preservation: Aventurine Notes: no combo has more than two characters so you can assume they'll want every combo to be filled before they start overloading this or that sort of thing. this means you can somewhat guess upcoming characters. that is, I can easily imagine Sunday being a physical Preservation character for pairing with Robin, because there isn't a phys preservation character yet. that sort of thing.

Her current leak, yes. So she's also a good support for Blade. Maybe Sam, too?

Milli posted:Wasn't there a thing in her leak kit that whoever had her buff also lost HP every time they did an attack? It consumes HP once when the buff is applied. Though I can actually see it being changed to being consumed per turn or per attack for synergy with characters like Blade. Either way the flavor of her forming a draining contract with the ally is there. Incidentally since the buff only buffs SPD and adds Quantum damage to the ally's attacked enemies, and doesn't actually care about the ally's offensive stats, you might also be able to play her as a solo DPS by buffing a support who can attack a lot of targets like Pela

Endorph posted:yea. the leak said she takes their HP, gives them speed, and makes them do follow-up attacks. after enemies are attacked a certain amount of times she does a followup herself. Oh no now I want her ugh why is the IPC full of characters with fun kits that are good for FUA. I was hoping I wouldn't want her because the release rate of characters that are cool is brutal.

Man, I have two to five weeks to decide if I want to hail mary whatever pulls I'll have to try for Robin, or save and hope for Jade. I already have all the Harmonys so far, as well as Clara, Topaz and Aventurine, so literally any character to make FUA crew even more absurd is appealing. really hope i don't end up regretting going so hard to get jingliu

Eej posted:This is literally Numby erasure Not really. Numby increases all of the follow-up damage against an enemy. Jade buffs speed, adds extra Quantum damage to one teammates attacks, and does follow-up attacks when she gains X stacks. Numby helps everyone, Jade helps 1 person and herself. blizzardvizard posted:It consumes HP once when the buff is applied. Though I can actually see it being changed to being consumed per turn or per attack for synergy with characters like Blade. Either way the flavor of her forming a draining contract with the ally is there. Absolutely. Her A2 increases her energy regen, A4 lets her immediately act first at the start of battle, and A6 increases her crit damage. She's both a main dps and dps support at the same time. I really hope her speed buff is enough to allow for attack boots on the dps.

I do think we will hear of, if not interact with all 10 stonehearts at some point because of how important the IPC is to the story, but I wouldn't expect them to be "one of each path" since they nominally all follow Qlipoth the Preservation regardless of gameplay contrivances - they don't "need" to be different

Now that Jade is announced I am Officially hosed. Robot Cowboy is certainly a skip now, but I was planning on getting Robin 100%. Getting Firefly is not even a question but I was also planning on LC too, minimum, and seeing how baity her eidolons are (I could certainly be tempted since I have tasted the sweet honey of buying power with Acheron e2s1). Getting dupes for my favorite characters means I really should skip every other patch or so, but if Jade is after that AND I was still considering picking up Jingliu…it’s getting complicated. I was just going to keep throwing pulls as I get them into the JL banner but maybe I should actually start saving instead. JL is really cool, and I could use the ice dps but if I’m being honest I definitely like Firefly more, can’t pass up problematic large hat women who also fit into my somewhat invested FUA team, and really wanted Robin because the head wing aesthetic is cool plus that song is such a meme I need to have it. With Jade now, how does Robin fit into the meta? I haven’t been keeping up with leaks but I remember seeing something like Robin is parallel to Sparkle for some reason, and I do have Sparkle (though nothing special since just e0s0). FUA team is 3/4 now that Aventurine is here to stay so realistically would someone want both Robin and Jade? Or is Robin or Jade more of a “buy the solution now for when we sell the problem later” type of thing?

I used up all my luck for Aventurine, but I have to support Robin because of the lesbian flag eye detail. As for Robin vs Jade, Jade is basically Topaz but for aoe, so she's more of a damage dealer that has supporting while Robin is a support that has damage capabilities. Jade looks fairly sp positive, Robin will generate loving nothing so she's sp negative. I don't know how good her numbers math out to, but I am down on her compared to the other limited harmonies both because they provide a LOT of numbers but they're also both sp positive. I'm sure Robin will be good if you like to play Dr. Numby, but I don't know if she'll have a use outside of it. Do note Jade will not do a hell of a whole lot for team IPC she really wants aoe attackers.

It's hard to compare Robin vs Jade right now when we don't know Jade's numbers yet. If her buffs are substantial then you may want her in IPC team even in non-AOE scenario, if it's just alright and her kit focuses more on doing personal damage then she may be less of a FUA team support piece and more of a PF carry.
