Also Tingyun to an extent

Yes and no. Tingyun wants attack, but she quickly reaches diminishing returns. Give her an attack chest, speed boots, def/hp orb and err rope and she's perfect.

Asta at e1 with her skill maxed has around a 230% multiplier, and she has crit in her traces. Building her with crit lets her put out a lot of damage with her skill.

each patch is 6 weeks long and you usually get ~about~ a soft pity's worth of pulls within each patch duration. keep in mind this amount of pulls is how much you're expected to gain by the end of the patch so you won't be having all of these for the first banner up (dhil)

Farming relics for fireblazer, get nothing but perfect roll critc/critd/atk%/speed mainstats and substats, when literally all I want is def and some speed and maybe a bit of break effect (all the def and hp main/sub stats popped on the electric relic set pieces, naturally).

Asta does a lot of damage if you build her as a subdps. Honestly similar to Fireblazer, I think the subdps, or main dps as that video does for a meme, are the best way to play those characters.

I've got my Asta wearing the set destined for Topaz (got it while farming for DanIL stuff) just so nothing accidentally happens to it in the interim. I should try out her DPS.



Pretty happy with the substats. They aren't perfect, but I got at least one to two attack or crit increases on every piece, and the non-DPS substats aren't awful either. (ignore the orb and rope, Topaz wants a different set than DanIL so those aren't farmed up yet)

Fu Xians, E2 being a copy of Bailu's talent, that when a character is under her skill buff, if they die, they can auto-revive one time in battle is just bonkers. gonna make SU10 more practical for me by lowering the margin of RNG error

What Eimi said. Asta doesn't need to go faster, and she doesn't need to make others faster. She needs crit and attack so she can spam her skill every turn for a decent amount of damage while increasing everyone's attack and speed. At least for me.

Right now my Asta is on the break set until I can get her proper Fire gear.

would going dps asta be recommended instead on a kafka team if i was mostly using her with maximized speed/energy regen to guarantee three turn ults

Bad Video Games

I guess that really depends on what you want. DPS Asta takes a bit of investment. It's a build you do because it's fun and you want to. But you basically need to max her skill and give her the same relics as any dps, especially a crit chest and high crit rate and crit damage. Also, unless Asta is the one breaking enemies, she's not going to provide any dot for Kafka. Skill neutral Asta is probably better for Kafka, where she only uses her skill when she ults. And even that only matters if she's E2.

Bad Video Games
Sep 17, 2017


Like, this is dps Asta. It's not insane damage, and mine wouldn't even have that much support. But it's just a decent chunk extra, and I'm mostly building it because it's funny.

https://youtu.be/RXgh7cce5ow?si=SNJTaaAFFzctKXcL

Also, my main carry for Asta's team is Hook. I think dps Asta shines really well with a Fire team because with her major trace and Planetary Rendezvous, that's about 25% extra damage to most of the team. Asta included.

Since Tingyun is generically great either of them can use her effectively, but Tingyun with Kafka specifically is her second-best Harmony pairing. You get a matching element for break, the Skill-Auto-Auto pattern means Tingyun procs Kafka's followup a lot, and the boatload of attack makes Kafka's DoTs hit hard. I think Asta is probably slightly better for teams that are doing the Kafka/(4* DoT character)/Harmony/Healer setup, but it's close enough that it doesn't really matter.

Very true, I just find Artumbo funny. I saw Dreamy's video, too. I think I've posted it before.

I disagree that e4 is a necessity. I understand the reasoning, but e4 doesn't really increase her damage. Just her ult uptime. At e4, you want to spam her skill whether she's dps or not because of the energy regen.

E1, technically e2 and e6, are the ones that increase/sustain Asta's damage. Of those, I would say e1 is the most impactful, though e2 definitely helps.

I would say that if 1 team remains Kafka and the other Yanqing, Yanqing benefits more from Tingyun over Asta.

Just pulled Gepard E1, and after farming for the def relics to build him up, somehow got a effect hit rate chest.

Now I'm kinda feeling like I ought to get him some speed and see if I can make him into Mr. Freeze. Already have a ERR rope on the belbog set so he should be able to crank out the shields just fine while freezing everything

I got 30 stars in MoC for the first time! The buff was a lot more useful for me than the previous set. Also I've gotten a lot of upgrades from the double relic event.

I had to retry the last one a few times because Pela kept dying.


I mostly used these teams, occasionally swapping Pela and Silver Wolf. I also used Yanqing instead of Serval for some, depending on weaknesses.

I went through my relics and locked any of the right set/mainstat that could potentially be an upgrade for my current crew or characters who I'll be leveling soon. I recycled everything else.

I have kept 25 relics that are not currently equipped. This got me enough materials to synthesize 18 new relics, which I used for ones I didn't want to farm (like if I only needed one slot/set/main stat combo from the entire set of potential drops). It took a little while but should be very easy to maintain from now on.

I got 3 relics I was aiming for, and my inventory is so much nicer. Highly recommend.

Man, this Kafka banner just HATES me.

Was at about ~60 pulls in on soft pity when it started, and lost the 50/50 at 82 to Bronya. Okay, no worries, I knew I'd have enough over the rest of the banner to reach hard pity.

Which I am now nearing at *87* pulls in. I'm wondering if this is the universe telling me that I don't want the cyberpunk esque razor girl and instead should be getting, I dunno, Imagine Dragon Dan.

All this is a roundabout way to getting to say I'm finally getting to the treasure hunting event as that's where a good stash of untapped jades lies, and boy is it a slog. The little nuke bombs are the best part about it.
