the e6 robin person also had an e6s4 aventurine, so i’m very perplexed as to why they added me. maybe they recognized a person panic pulling for s5 on the last day of his banner too

aye thanks, added. i think the one support i had was e0 anyway so you saved me some digging. hope you enjoy the most blue-balled e2 sparkle you’ll probably ever see — 156 goddamn speed :smith:

you’re also extremely right about the clockie quest. i’m an avid reader of the SU text walls but this poo poo was a bridge too far

My Sparkle waffles between 156 and 160 speed. It depends on whether or not I'm using Bronya and what speed tuning she needs. Sharing relics sucks. :(

Edit: And Sparkle has to wear mismatched planars with an attack rope. Those 2 pieces are 18 speed!

Yeah, apparently there's a bug where entering the status menu and leaving will cause anyone stuck in Svarog's hand to grow slightly larger. Which you can repeat until they are arbitrarily large.

His self-imposed challenge is that he’s not going to warp until he can no longer clear MoC. He's at 35/36 currently, and some of the bullshit he had to put together to clear MoC 10 & 11 is insane. He's a masterclass in thinking outside of the box in this game.

I just learned that the "go again" button after you finish an Echo of War warns you if one of your party members is dead, because the autobattle AI somehow got Acheron killed fighting the new boss. Smart UI decision, but I'd like to know how that happened...

it does it for anything that has a go again. because sometimes autobattle can get acheron killed fighting the trash mobs of the XP mats (because it loves to trigger the ult when there is a single enemy left with 1% hp)

harmony trailblazer has to be one of the best designs they've done in a while *and* they're free. So fun to play with. Just going Ruan Mei + H-TB + Aventurine + Whoever and having fun doing stuff.

Hope Boothill has a fun set-up despite being a Hunt character. I really like Dr. Ratio but nothing about his set-up is really fun

This is glorious.

By the way someone mentioned earlier that for clearing Conundrum 10 dice it's better to do a 4-6 split of conundrum "buffs". I realized I had been doing the opposite giving the bosses max stats instead of taking the negative curio. That was a Huge Mistake.

I don't like either of their looks or personalities, though Boothill's voice actor has won me over a bit with some funny clips on youtube. That said both of them have amazing kinetic feeling and sounding attacks for Ratio's chalk throw and Booty's enhanced attack that are great to witness in action.

It's been proven, repeatedly, that that poo poo works. And for most of these people it's their job. So the only people who can really afford to get away from that poo poo are the people who are already financially secure for the rest of their life. Otherwise? You color match, you use the right font, and you make the face. And then you get to have health insurance.

My personal most hated youtuber trick is the "coming up" one where they start the video with 5 seconds of something that happens later in the video. Again though I assume it works for retaining random viewers or whatever so there's a reason they do it but I still hate it.

I don't like YouTube, but at least you can hit '3' to jump to 30%, which usually skips some of the front-loaded junk that the typical poster has. That and the sponsor block add in for your browser and you can have a semi-decent experience.

yeah, so much of Ratio is cool! I guess it's just sort of difficult to make a character whose abilities are "skill that might trigger follow-up" and "ult that triggers follow-up" fun to use

Dr Ratio is fun to use when you have the right team and you can both guarantee his skill follow-ups and chain together a bunch of follow-ups from everyone. Sometimes you can get a long chain going like
Ratio ult -> FUA from enhanced Numby -> FUA from Ratio -> FUA from Aventurine -> FUA from Numby -> FUA from Ratio

(I forget which goes first when both Numby and Ratio trigger simultaneously but you get the idea)

Ratio goes first, Numby has to wait for his turn. I'm so in love with my Topaz/Ratio/Aventurine team and the last slot is pretty flexible. Topaz is E6 with no LC, and Aventurine is E1 with S1 LC. When Ratio comes back around I might try for his LC or some eidos, if I can save enough before then.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Beta v3 update, Firefly got 50% Super Break damage in her kit but her 40% DEF trace was removed. She also got a bunch of buffs to her numbers, although her Enhanced Skill ATK multiplier got gutted so Critfly is now basically pointless. Technically she's not as chained to HMC anymore but you probably still want them. Still a big net win overall.

In other news the Break relic set now does 10% DEF ignore for Break damage at 150% BE, but 15% additional DEF ignore for Super Break specifically, which is naturally good news for Firefly but effectively fucks over Boothill because he's not dependent on Super Break at all and doesn't always want HMC in the team.

I'm pulling for both, so this technically half benefits me, but still I'm actually getting pretty loving sick of the blatant favoritism. The Fire-weak specific Planar Break Effect BE set was bad enough. No this won't stop Boothill from killing poo poo left and right. It's still lovely design. You're releasing 2 Break DPSes in a row, cater to both.

I appreciate the original leaks were "no changes" so the firefly fan discord could spend 20 minutes completely melting down before the actual changes came out.
