Luocha's time will come again when Mihoyo has decided that purging is the next meta thing for 3.0 and there'll be a pile of poo poo you have to purge and you either have to use Luocha or whatever new unit they're pushing to consistently remove debuffs.

That being said if you have Ruan Mei and Sparkle that's solid coverage for every MoC/PF under the sun right now. Robin in that case is a total luxury pull. Zero sustain is a real thing, of course (that is how you 0 cycle MoC or max clear PF) but not completely necessary. Also what 0 cyclers don't tell you is how often they reset runs because of bad rng and how many takes they have to do to get a 0 cycle complete. 2 solid Sustains is still a good rule of thumb, people who are asking about what to roll are not doing bleeding edge 0 cycle strats.

Also, zero cycling and low cycling takes a level of relic investment that most people just don't have. Either you get extremely lucky with your relic drops, or you're a whale. But you're not doing Welt sustain or zero cycling with 135 speed as your average on most characters.

I’m skipping Robin even though I love her design and bard/idol type characters. I don’t have room for anything that isn’t going to be a “5* Tingyun with an AOE energy charge” level of powercreep for ultimates after the universally useful in any team supports like Ruan Mei’s break or Sparkle’s SP generation.

(Loucha) can go on any team, and you never have to worry about surviving.

People keep saying this but, until Aventurine, I ran with him on one side and Fu Xuan on the other for MoC. The Loucha side would often have survival problems and the FX side pretty much never did.

I like my Loucha but purely as a sustain, I think he's been outclassed by FX for a while now and now also by Aventurine.

This is a big thing that could easily trip people up if they’re not paying attention to her mechanics. Not only is her ult going to deal drastically more in Sicko Mode, it also extends it by an additional turn which is a big boost to her damage.

I use Speed boots on her. In 4 cycles (continuous in PF, you don't get to cheat and reset a cycle between waves like MoC):

110 spd: 6 actions
128 spd: 7 actions
146 spd: 8 actions
164 spd: 9 actions

A pair of boots and some substats are enough to push you to getting an extra whole turn on Herta which means more energy and more damage. If your Herta is already clearing waves you don't need ATK boots because that's overkill. You'd just want SPD so you get another turn to nuke with her which can then lead to another follow up.

Hmm I guess I can test for both, I have too many Grand Duke pieces anyway.

Currently though I'm trying to jury rig a max points clear on the second side with Ratio/Kafka/Herta/RM, so for this specifically I feel I might want ATK to kill the elites besides Sam ASAP, but we'll see.

So apparently someone collected statistics for 15 million rolls and discovered the gacha isn't actually 50/50, but slightly weighted in the player's favor, at 56.4/43.6 (lightcones are 78.1/21.9). Their theory is that the limited character gets included in the standard character pool, so even when you lose you still have a 1/8 chance of getting them anyway.

I just threw together my next best quantum pieces so not everything's at +15 yet, so there's that. Like, I know there's a lot more room to grow here but I'm just wondering if I'm also doing something fundamentally wrong. I did figure out the "only ult while she's in moon form" thing, but anything else I should know?

She's definitely not crit capped but I do wonder if 30% is on the low side for her to feel "consistent". Since she already gets so much extra atk from her moon form, should I maybe consider spd boots?

It feels pretty bad to use Bronya's skill to action forward her when she's outside moon state, but I still do it anyway. I do hold Bronya ult until she's in moon state. I only just got Bronya fairly recently (right before Sparkle, in fact, because that's how the gacha crumbles :v:) so I'm still getting used to Bronya brain.

I've put my Bronya in my profile above, but I'm basically doing fast Bronya and weaving autos in between. The 4pc wind is more of an experiment, and I don't have the effect res to trigger 2pc Keel -- they just happened to be my best spd/cdmg% pieces.

Thanks for everyone's help so far!

I have watched some 0 cyclers who explain their thought processes, and I'm aware many of them are layers upon layers of RNG (like x and y must get hit twice to generate z energy for ult). This is on top of very meticulous speed and energy tuning. None of which I have the patience for.

Don't get me wrong, Luocha has been a staple on my team, and yeah, is so drat comfortable that he gives me breathing room to focus on the rest of my team. On his side, I never have to think about saving skill points because I need to heal. But when I'm barely not making timers and I want to eke just a little more out of my team, well Luocha just ain't it, yknow?

I've definitely brute-forced floor 11/12 before (like... over 2 MoCs ago), like with all the wrong elements and everything. But recent levels have gotten grindier so I don't know if you can get away with it anymore.

I do throw mono quant at things sometimes in a desperation move, but Qingque can be... frustrating at times so it's usually not my first choice anymore if I already have more on-element options. Sparkle was an absolute game-changer for her though.

I have not tried with Jingliu because I'm bad on her (see above), but hey everyone says she's broken enough to brute-force anything with her, so :shrug:.

Jingliu definitely wants SPD boots, you should be able to get her to about 2700 Atk and 134+ speed with those which is more than enough. I find with that you should be doing 100-150k per attack in Moon state which is top tier damage.

A little late to the party, but in regards to Yanqing, can he put out good numbers? Absolutely. Here's what he can do against the latest Echo of War:





But this is an E5S2 Yanqing, with very good relics, with an E6S1 Ruan Mei, E2S1 Sparkle and E6S1 Aventurine.

And for reference, this is an E1S1 Jingliu, with way worse relics, in the same team, with the same buffs and debuffs, fighting the same enemy, hitting only one target:





So while he's more than up for the task, I can't really recommend farming up relics and all the mats needed to get to this point, when you could just invest in a limited 5* instead and get way more bang for your buck.

Stupid question time.

Guaranteed crit or more crit damage? With all of Ratio's bonuses, he tops out at around 160 crit damage and overcaps his crit rate. Or I can give him over 220 crit damage as a ceiling, but his crit rate is only around 80.

Just multiply the two together to find the average. Would you rather have 100% of 160 = 160. Or 80% of 220 = 176. Further consideration will depend purely on things like, would 2 of the 220 crit damage hits kill a boss, which would take 3 of the 160 hits. How much overkill. If the attack itself has multiple hits, it will balance out the variance etc etc

That makes sense.

Punching in the actual numbers, he averages 156 crit damage with the lower crit rate vs. 184 with the guaranteed crit. I even forgot to add the 12-24% from the 4pc set.

It's funnier this way because now Aventurine has 94/215 crit. :D

The whole conversation is if you have Yanqing and Aventurine, but you don't have Jingliu, then Yanqing is usable in the current MoC. If you're struggling in the current MoC 12 and the above is true, build Yanqing. Otherwise, he can continue to collect dust.

It's both thrilling and terrifying.

- You should try to get to 50% Crit Rate, so her Enhanced mode guarantees all crits at 100%
- You should run the Glacial set for her relics, not the Quantum set. Quantum set only out-damages Glacial when the enemy has a Quantum weakness
- You're running your JL very different from how I run mine (seems like you're doing slow JL + Hyperspeed Bronya). I personally run 135 SPD JL and 134 SPD Bronya, so that JL always gets to go twice in a row, but Hyperspeed Bronya can work too theoretically (I think Bronya has to be 160+ SPD for it to work and yours shows at 152, but maybe you have another support character that gives a teamwide speed buff during batttle?)
- I use JL's sig LC, but I get if you don't want to get it. I think the Aeon LC's effectiveness depends on if you're weakness breaking with JL often or not. Off-element I think it's much worse.
