Bad news

Shame. I just hope they don't make every future Nihility character revolve around dots. That class probably has some of the most varied characters between actual dps units, debuffers and of course dot enablers. Though I do struggle to think of what else the class can do unless we start to get some broken hybrid characters like Luocha.

Out of the 2 teams I'm focusing on, 5 of the characters are Nihility and I'm tempted to drop Asta for Luka and just use all 6. There's not another class at the moment that can do that.

She's on Subscribe for More!. That's like somewhere.

That's how we met Topaz and Luka. I think Luka is the first character we can actually recruit who we're not forced to interact with through the story?

I use my resin really liberally. Most recently I made an Effect Hit Rate chest for March which completely changed her as a character, I absolutely adore using her now every chance I can get.

My rule is to use it on supports only. They're less impacted by poor substats and mostly care about the mainstat. Plus things like Def% and HP% are more common and are good for them.

My last 2 both went to Gepard. He has speed boots and an err rope now and will be much better when I can get both leveled.

Also today's relic dive granted me Quantum speed boots so I think I have 8 full pairs now.

I also just use all of my relic remains on random poo poo asap. I only leave myself with enough for my next resin.

Even if speed boots are the same drop rate as ER ropes the fact that you can just log in and auto battle to farmbboots instead of do actual SU runs for ropes means the effort required is significantly more for ropes.

Yes, but you get twice as many ropes as boots per stamina point spent. Both cost 40 stamina and yield 2-3 relics, but SU only gives orbs and ropes, while the others are split between head, chest, boots, and arms.

Honestly, for my money crit chests are the most annoying to farm for. I can never get the one I want between crit damage and crit chance.

To try to be helpful, this video lays out all the details of stats/substats but the tldr is you've only got a 5.5% shot at an ER rope relative to ~10% on the next worst stuff, so if you're going to use an ER Rope it's basically always correct.

Am pretty happy with where my Blade is at right now. Tends to hit for 10k or so a strike with Forest of Blades without additional buffs, which means 20k for whoever his primary target is. Is exactly one SPD faster than my Bronya.

It's over 100, but yeah there's room for improvement, I can afford signficiantly lower crit rate than I have now considering the +16% the relic set gives me, and my head and hand relics along with the rope could be improved on.

I can't even clear 6, I need two Luochas.

Those damned gorillas are the worst, and Yanqing is much stronger in gameplay than in lore. I probably just need more levels.

seele, silverwolf, and luocha for the air/imaginary sides of 9 and 10. everyone has unimpressive relics, though seele has her 5* light cone. traces are at 8/10 where appropriate

What you need is a fire main character and the protection light cone from the herta store.

Everything bounces off.* Eats lots of aggro.

You already have Luocha so you've got the buff stripping already sorted. Just need a bit of extra protection. Also if the monkey is one shotting anyone after that your character levels are too low.

*Bounces off fire main character. The team shields are poxy but good enough. At that point you can auto battle it and do whatever.

yeah, Fire MC makes for a decent tank if you don't have Gepard. The other thing with the ape is to keep an eye on when you kill the dogs, as that will make the Ape hit twice in a row

I did it. First time. Jing/Ting/Bailu/Silver on one team, Clara/Blade/Luocha/Yukong on the other. Cleared the last one with 31 turns left. Was absolutely impossible until I did some major relic farming and tracing.

Also with same characters in different configuration I managed to 3 star level 6 of that new Memory that was feeling impossible. The infinite fire breathing fish is so much goddamned damage to heal through.

I need to change up my Ting just slightly, level up a different lightcone so she can ult every 3 turns instead of 4. I think that is going to be a pretty monumental increase in power for whatever team I put her on.

If we are wrapping up Luofu, talk about a speedrun plot-wise.

But the new QoL looks great. SU stuff looks interesting but a bit complex, I知 sure it値l make more sense in-game after taking it for a test drive.

Quantum stays winning.

I've gotten some insane luck on my substats, I need a better CDmg Chest to fully max my Blade but he's a beast, was hoping to finish building him before Kafka. Almost to 8k health but might swap to Wind Dmg Sphere if I find one as good.

Yeah, that's the impression I got too. The idea that it would go into a whole 2nd arc on the Luofu with a new boss fight seemed like wishful thinking.
