Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

I mean her animations aren't what I'd call amazing, but basically she doesn't give a poo poo about the battle so she's just posing elegantly while thinking about how all life is doomed to die. I don't think that's too different from how she acted during the event.

Also when her field is active, the battle screen has little plum trees on it and it dresses up things real nice.

I don’t think she’s left a team since I pulled her. Plus, I can fix her.

I've started using Remembrance in Swarm Disaster and Gold&Gears and uh..it's basically a cheat code? the enemies never get to act, I am functionally immortal from all the shields (especially /w with the Preservation interplay) and Jingliu can just calmly shred everything to pieces

It's definitely strong, but it was less good in Swarm Disaster than it is in Gold and Gears because the bug boss has utterly ridiculous freeze resistance, such that even with stacking effect hit it's still unreliable. Also if you're like me in my last run and manage to get every Remembrance blessing except the one that breaks Dissociation so everything takes forever to kill.

That does constitute the remaining Harmony characters in the game, now I think about it. Already have Bronya, Tingyun and Asta done.

To me Erudition is the cheat code in Gears n gold. It turns my Argenti ult button into 'battle over' button.

You may want to switch either jingliu or dragon dan for a buffer, debuffer, or second sustain. With those supports i'd almost certainly swap out jingliu. Large daniel scarfs down as many skillpoints as you have to spare so you're likely going to have an easier time fully committing to a single damage dealer rather than have 2 of them fight over resources.

Are you leveled and traced appropriately? Decent relics and levels, too?

I found it pretty easy on manual. I did it with Argenti and Topaz. Have someone focus down the exploding bugs whenever they show up and have someone else focus on the boss. Strong aoe is great here.

Edit: By strong aoe, I mean full party hits. I had Pela as my support, and between her and Argenti, the bugs were always broken. I only really had to worry about the boss.

I managed the story version of the boss with BatBlazer as my main DPS because I didn't have anyone better, and Gepard/Natasha as sustains. Fourth spot went to Kafka not because she's particularly good for the fight but she's my only other DPS built enough to not get bursted down immediately in phase 2 (as I haven't been active very long), and I had to be careful not to spawn too many bugs. If I had someone like Argenti I can see an AOE strategy being good, but for me just chipping down slowly worked out.

Got my first win at Conundrum 2 using Jing Liu Remembrance. Pretty standard blessing picks, with a focus on Hunt, Erudition, and Remembrance with the defensive Destruction FIghting Spirit ones. Banned Elation and Abundance. One neat dice trick I found is picking Ultra Remote Beacon(beacon focused dice) with faces focused on generating double treasure beacons and then multiplying them across the plane, and then one face allowing me to jump to the start of treasure chain.

Like so:



Fought the robots as the final boss with Hunt Resonance Extrapolation, but I think I would have been fine against swarm too. Argenti would have been rough, his adds are too tanky.

I've been trying to make the pursuit dice work but haven't made it past the second boss with them, even after getting +800% to ult damage lmao.

gently caress me. Game took me nearly to hard pity trying for Blade and gave me loving Bailu. Two 50/50s lost to this character, but at least the first one gave me Bronya. I'm loving done. Limited Destruction characters just don't exist for me. At least I have a guarantee if anyone catches my eye in the future. Probably Sam.

Extremely funny that there's a dice face that lets you drop and pick up a curio so you can do an infinite money glitch by dropping and picking up the 50% more cash curio over and over again then convert it to damage with the cape.

So, for those who build Sampo as a dps, does he care about crit at all? Can his e4 even crit? I'm not sure if I want to go back to maining Dan Heng.

Excelzior

Sampo basically does not care about crit at all

Kafka's got her follow-up attacks and a decent hit in the Ultimate, so Critka can work since she does not need *that* much EHR

Sampo's multipliers on his skill and ultimate are pathetic, it's just a bunch of chances to proc his talent and stack the wind DoT - and he needs a decent amount of EHR to guarantee said stacks, so there's really no room in his gear for Crit values.
