World 5 is about debuff management at the end; you want to understand Kafka's moveset so that you know the timing of her big AOE and her mind control moves, you want to have something ready to clear Dominated/Psych as quickly as possible, and you want to have enough staying power to chip her down. Abundance gives you the toolset for that. World 6 is about burndown. I go straight Hunt there, because I want that resonance to blast her ice tree sidekicks, I want to take Bronya off the board as quickly as possible in Phase 2, and I _really_ want Phase 3 to go smoothly because if you let her and her recurring frost storm hang around long enough, she will take you out. If I pick Hunt, energy-on-kill and two-bars as its upgrades, she can summon the ice sidekicks and they're gone with one click AND my resonance energy refills.

On the minus side, it's still paying something so anyone dead set on staying F2P won't benefit from it. Yeah they should really up the weighting on the starting path for buffs significantly, sucks to start with Elation or something but then end up with only a handful of Elation 1*s.

I beat world 5 Kafka with no debuff cleansing in the party and no abundance blessings through raw brute force at level 50 with FireMC/Bailu/Sushang/Tingyun, though it took one wiped attempt. It only really got super dicey in phase 3 where you can get RNGed out if all the mind controls focus fire the same target. Natasha instead of Bailu would make it easier, since you'd remove the most RNG part of the fight. The biggest check for beating her is just making sure everyone has a +9 purple hat at least so you have enough HP that she's not vaporizing you when she AoEs.

I went Seele, Welt, Sampo, Natasha for 5 and went full abundance with all of them at level 50. Used the reroll to make sure I kept getting abundance blessings. At least for my run what benefited was making sure I got the the abundance path that causes the resonance skill to get rid of debuffs (and also guard against them) and path that makes it so that the first time you cast the resonance skill it becomes its own like separate character in the turn list that triggers every time it's turn it's up. That combined with all the abundance blessings that are like "gain Def, Spd, Attack, etc when healed" made it so I never died and was doing what felt like decent damage by the end of the run. Seele's Ult was critting for something like 13k every single time it went off. I definitely got lucky with my rolls though (had like 2 or 3 of the 3-star abundance blessings) and a clutch natasha ult saved the run from death. It's not fast but with some good RNG abundance turns into an absolute monstrosity by the end of an SU.

Does the eating contest on the luofu ever come back? The guy in boulder town just let me try to stuff my face wtih crabs again, but the steamed bun lady hasn't given me the option since I choked on some buns a couple days ago. Also, it's rather strange that I had to advance the story a fair bit until I could start poking at these boxes, the trashcans were available the second you could set foot in the city.

I managed to clear Forgotten Hall 14 and 15 with Gepard on one side and Natasha on the other, barely. Not even close to a 3-star, though. Would not recommend attempting at EL3 unless you like pain. The first stage in the rotating section is another step up from there, so I don't think it's feasible to make meaningful progress in there before the reset. EL4 should come in around the end of the next cycle, so that might be a different story.

I'm building MC as a shielder because I find that function is absolutely starting to get needed (level 60) and its MC or March and March simply just isn't a reliable hate magnet. Great character otherwise. Clara + March however is a team core I definitely want to build eventually.

I find March's shield-taunt more reliable than the MC's taunt, personally. MC can simply miss, or maybe get lapped by fast enough enemies so the taunt falls off. Or adds get summoned, etc etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-MFg_0wY4U Jing Yuan gets his own animated trailer apparently and Jing Liu shows up in it. Looks like Jing Liu was his master way back when but was apparently cursed somehow and he had to take her out, but if she's a playable character she's obviously going to somehow reappear in the story, probably as a boss first I imagine,.

Their long lives ultimately come from the old blessing of the Abundance, so I figured it was an "immortality going out of control" thing where they start manifesting too much life energy or whatever. It doesn't appear that they age at all otherwise, so that's basically how they die of old age, and it can be accelerated or stalled by lifestyle choices. The secret society contributes to it, but they're not the only source and it seems to happen to them naturally.

It's also mentioned somewhere that while normally being mara struck drives them insane, the abundance people seem to have figured out how to trigger it while keeping their minds intact, so it's not like it's an inevitable death except that the hunt people want to destroy everything related to the abundance.

That makes sense. I go through periods of reading what people are saying and just mad clicking through side quests. I did enjoy the cat fishing story arc though. Giving so much of Astas cash to the scammers to have them freak out and try to return it was great As an aside, I have the LVL 30 free 4* light one from the Nameless stuff. Was there a must have in that list?

The video has Jingliu saying "to be stricken with mara is to be long-life species", suggesting that it's something that happens to every single Xianzhou person eventually if they live long enough, Abundance dickery or not. During the shot of Jingliu going nuts there's also a voiceover of some folks - presumably doctors or officials - saying "No sense of time, humanity waning" - this suggests to me that when you get mara you just kind of go insane, supported by the fact that the mara-stricken dude Jing Yuan and Jingliu are fighting doesn't recognize them at all. This leads into the bit where Jing Yuan is teaching Yanqing in the exact same way as Jingliu was teaching him, presumably because he knows one day he's going to go nuts and Yanqing is going to need to put him down like he did to Jingliu.

kirbysuperstar posted:So what cones are worth picking up from the mirrorverse and Herta's stash? note: keep in mind all the mirror store LCs can show up in the gacha randomly too, but the herta LCs are exclusive to it. also note that Herta's store lets you superimpose the light cones more cheaply (you only need 16 hertabux to make out one) while you just have to rawdog buy five copies from the mirrorverse herta's store Cruising in the Stellar Sea - Hunt: Increases Crit Rate by 8%(si1)/16% (si5), and an extra 8%/16% against enemies with 50% or less HP remaining. When the wearer defeats an enemy, they gain 20%/50% attack for 2 turns. Really good. The amount of crit rate at SI1 seems small, but as I said, herta cones can be SI'd up easier, and 16% is pretty significant - for comparison, a crit rate mainstat 5* relic gives 32%, so its exactly half a good relic. And against enemies at half HP, its exactly a good relic. Only real concern is capping out on crit rate, but this early on that really isn't a concern. Synergizes well with basically every hunt character too. Dan Heng and Yanqing have crit scaling in their kits, (Dan's crit slows, Yanqing just having free crit damage), and Seele synergizes with the second part, the attack buff on kill. Sushang has no real synergy with it, but crit is crit. Worth noting that there is an extremely good 4* Hunt Light Cone, Swordplay, that is competitive. On the Fall of an Aeon - Destruction: Whenever the wearer attacks, their ATK is increased by 8/16% in this battle, up to 4 stacks. When the wearer inflicts Weakness Break on enemies, the wearer's DMG increases by 12/24% for 2 turns. Pretty good? Obviously designed for longer fights, at least 4 turns, but once you've hit those four turns you're hitting pretty hard. The weakness break buff is decent too, especially if you have a team that can actually break the boss consistently. The 4* Destruction light cones aren't as good, with one exception we'll get into with the mirrorverse store. Texture of Memories - Preservation: Increases the wearer's Effect RES by 8/16%. If the wearer is attacked and has no Shield, they gain a Shield equal to 16/32% of their Max HP for 2 turns. This effect can only be triggered once every 3 turns. If the wearer has a Shield when attacked, the DMG they receive decreases by 12/24%. Honestly, kiiiind of eh? It makes a character into a super tank, but it doesn't really help the team at all, and most of the existing preservation characters want to protect the whole team. There's a lot of 4* preservation cones that reduce the damage the whole team takes, and there's plenty of bosses that toss out strong AOE attacks. Herta's Store overall: In a vacuum, Stellar Sea > Aeon > Texture. That said, are you using a hunt character or a destruction character, and do you have an SI5 swordplay. Cause if either of the latter two, go for Aeon. That said if you're using one specific destruction character, there's another LC that's better for them. Mirrorverse the good ones here are abundance (give a random ally energy regen on the wearer's turn), harmony (after using skill the next ally deals extra damage), and destruction (increased attack and increased damage to enemies that are burning/bleeding.) notably destruction outdoes aeon on Pitchdark Hook the Great. erudition and nihility are fine, preservation is eh, hunt is bad.

Texture of Memories seems 100% completely tailor made for Fire MC taunt spamming. I'm curious why you think River Flows In Spring is bad; most of the "what light cones to use?!?" sources I've seen talk it up as the best general 4* cone for Hunt after Swordplay(which is itself kind of niche because it requires you to attack the same target 5 times in a row to stack up and drops all your stacks instantly if you have to hit anything else for any reason).

multiple hit attacks give multiple swordplay stacks so it builds up faster than you'd think, its pretty amazingly good. my sushang w/ half the attack of seele can do comparable damage skill v skill, albeit her speed is lower, but her ult gives her another turn so she usually gets a similar amount of turns

I got torn on what banner to pull on. At first I settled on the next one, but my brain is screaming we have a Lightning Erudition at home. I ended up watching youtube videos trying to find advice, and a lot of them were saying to hold even longer, but I am not sure how context dependent that advice is depending on your team. I would prefer Seele over the lightning guy if I win the 50/50, but I would rather have his 4*s as a consolation prize if I lose the 50/50. Maybe I can roll up to the soft pity for the 4* on the next banner, and be happy if I get a 5* not on pity, and then save the rest for something upcoming. Also should be able to get to EL3 today  .Also, I just noticed Welt (as one of my better single target DPSs) and Fire MC are both using level 30 3* weapons, I should probably do something about that.
