Acheron doesn’t really appeal to me ngl because she just looks like a Seele long-hair skin. I’m hoping her personality pops out in-game to distinguish them.

If the leaks are accurate she has a pretty sweet color/outfit change as part of her kit.

I will be passing on Archeron because I don’t need another lightning Nihility lady, but I think I will need to pick up more lightning at some point in the future. Jing Yuan just doesn’t feel great for me.

Acheron looks cool as gently caress. Her leaked kit looks wonky as gently caress so I'm hard in the fence until we have an official release. Also, I have Jing Yuan and Kafka. I don't really need more lightning.

Do you have his lc? I don't, but I'm hoping to pick it up in his rerun. I'm not even sure if I'll even use him often over Quinque or Argenti, but Quinque and Herta will be happy to use it.

She is nihility for story reasons. Her kit is closer to Dr. Ratio's than Kafka's. Or Serval's for that matter.

25% chance to roll crit substat on a chest that has a 20% chance to roll a crit mainstat means that 5% of all chest drops will have double crit stats. That means for every 20 chest pieces that drop, one of them starts as good enough to start rolling upgrades.

I think the real crushing thing is getting the good substat(s) and then getting upgrades in it.

Like the 5% you mention will probably happen if you throw all your resin at a domain for a few weeks. But there's a decent chance the other substats will be trash and get all the upgrades.

In Genshin (and to a lesser extent in this, just coincidentally), my best pieces are often ones that started bad and lucked into all upgrades going into something good.

This is why DoT team is great. You only need attack% and effect hit, and those are two of the most common substats. :v:

I've still had a hard time getting upgrades into those substats. They'll often go into something like Break Effect or the dreaded "flat DEF."

I'm pretty sure flat DEF makes up approximately 40% of "4th stats rolled onto promising gear I get to level 3."

Edit: I think the issue is that more "standard" DPS can use a mix of damage stats, while for DoT users the crit stats are almost useless.

On the topic of substats. I finally got Luocha out of Cowboy stuff and now he has 66% effect res, in addition to the 70% resistance to CC from his major trace. First time I haven’t had to scrape the barrel to get over 30 for Keel and it basically rained the drat stat on me.

I'm just happy with the proper main stat and the substats not being something like flat ATK/flat DEF/flat HP. I have never gone beyond MoC 9 either.

To each their own. I have Argenti’s cone and Ratio's, and the power spike for both is phenomenal. Like I said, I may not use Jing often, but his cone is great for Quinque and Herta. And I do use those 2 often.

Speaking of Quinque, I managed to 3 star MoC 11 on both MoCs. Progress! And both are thanks to my tried and true Quinque/SW/Pela team. I also got MoC 12 from the previous round down to 16 cycles, up from 20. And Fu Xuan managed to solo sustain, but just barely. The funny part is that team has the least upgrades compared to others. QQ is broken.

Having a laugh riot with Dr. Ratio, love dealing a combined 500,000 or so damage with every skill use in Simulated universe, and 60k or so against level-appropriate content. Him, Silver Wolf, Fu Xuan and either Topaz or Bronya depending on situation lets me ignore the entire design of Swarm Disaster as an AoE-friendly format and just solo-nuke things one by one.

Mine is level 76, his skill and ult are at 6, and his talent at 8. I also have 3 side traces to unlock, and his lc is at level 60. He does damage equal to my level 80 Topaz, who has max traces and a level 80 light cone. This geek is strong.

Oh hey lost the 50/50 on the Kafka banner to Bronya. I finally have the crazy support unit! :v:

I know the joke is she's good with literally everyone, but she's quite good for Jing Yuan yeah? Helps him consistently cap out his follow-up stacks and just a general damage boost.

Bad Video Games

Yes and no. Bronya helps him keep max stacks and gives him crit damage with her ult, but her skill doesn't boost his follow-ups directly. Still a good support for him, especially if you're lacking Tingyun.

His best supports are Tingyun and Topaz.

Man, I just rewatched this and am re-disappointed that this and Mei joining World Serpent basically amounted to her being grouchy a while and spending a few semesters at a different school, moral and relationship consequence wise. I'm choosing not to complain at length about HI3 in the Star Rail thread, but man, it really feels like they dropped the ball on Mei in a lot of ways.

Pom-Pom and Himeko would never allow it. Now Welt, on the other hand . . .
Listen I don't buy the theory that Welt has his full HoR powers back and just isn't using them for some reason, I dislike that idea for a ton of reasons, but if it turned out to be true a ++SSS Gacha Version 2.0 Welt with an Express-Arahato Knockout Punch Ultimate would go a long way towards making up for it.
