Excelzior posted:finally managed to power through World 3 by just going all-in on Shielding and Shielding accessories like some kind of Space Hank Hill Yeah, the thing that makes both of those easy is The Hunt resonance with the powerup that refunds charge on kill, and just using that to nuke the adds. But you have to buy those abilities in the progression system.

Endorph posted:important thing to note about return to darkness (and crit in general in this game) is that when an attack deals multiple hits, each hit has its own chance to crit/proc 'on hit' effects/etc. so for instance seele's basic attack hits thrice. so if she has a 50% chance to crit its not a 50% chance to crit, its 3 hits that each have their own 50% chance to crit. in return to darkness's case this means that each hit that crits has its own chance to remove a buff, meaning that if you high roll you could remove multiple buffs in one action (and the odds to remove a buff are much higher than they look) Any idea how this interacts with Yanqing's LC, which buffs crit rate if you don't crit? Is just one non-crit enough to activate the buff?

Dr Kool-AIDS posted:I think the game really wants to get people to play with more than four characters, so using characters where they're situationally appropriate is going to be a big thing. I could definitely see benching Himeko for a lot of fights, but when she's good she's really good. I hope Jing Yuan doesn't come in as a one size fits all tool for every problem, because if you get too many of those the only way for them to design around them is power creep. Himeko is priceless to me for any fight where adds keep getting resummoned, so basically every SU world boss. Just dropping her ult on them and breaking them once usually does away with them. She can do both if the adds are fire-weak, and if someone breaks the boss her followup still hits adds too. Basically she prevents me from having to use single-target DPS turns on things that aren't the main target. Even if she doesn't kill, I have her partnered with Seele mostly, who appreciates some softened up side targets to trigger her talent off.

If a boss constantly summons adds you want to be using Hunt resonances to wipe them on entry, though. Something like World 6 where a boss summons a mini-boss as a companion is a better example. ...If, yeah, it wasn't totally immune to Freeze.

Blade and DHIL with Abundance is extremely funny. Abundance can just poo poo skill points everywhere so IL is always going off. There's a synergy with Propagation as well!

Clarste posted:In generally you want to make a beeline to the exit with only a couple detours. If you have extra time, you can spend it in phase 3. And Abundance is very powerful because it usually lets you meander all over the place and acquire a ton of stuff. Plus the resonance is great and Dewdrop can become very good too.

Clarste posted:I don't have Luocha, only Bailu. if the path is only good with a specific 5* I guess that could be a thing, but people don't generally talk about it like that. They do talk about Preservation like that (for Gepard) even though it's not true in my experience, though. Luocha is the secret seasoning that makes the whole thing pop, yes. Suddenly everything now gives skill points and charges Dewdrop while his field is up. And there's a 3* Propagation blessing that applies Spores to stuff every time you gain a skill point. And other which does it every time you spend one. Combine with Clara counters and everything is now just constantly exploding with Spores passively. The other synergy is with Nihility, and it means that the resonance buffs your weakness break efficiency. Combined with the nihility blessing that does that anyway, you can completely shred through toughness bars.

Excelzior posted:yeah the Resonance Interplay mechanics are also huge Honestly my priority picks from Abundance are just all the Dewdrop ones, reduced damage taken at full HP, ATK buffs on heal, skill points on heal, speed boost on heal and then max HP up. I don't always need the third resonance bonus even if it is nice. But the best things to stack with it are the Spores from Propagation, Nihility's weakness break efficiency, DoT on attacking broken enemy and DoT trigger on attacking broken enemy, Destruction's max HP up and all characters split incoming damage, and Preservation's shield on end of turn/on taking damage/every 2 turns, plus shielded characters take less damage. When shielded and at full HP, characters take less than half damage, which is split between them all, and then Dewdrop/Clara's counter under Luocha's field heals everyone back to full, and Preservation puts the shield back on them. If Hunt's Critical Boost stuff comes up I'll usually nab that as well but it's far from necessary.

Clarste posted:Adding a new system to upgrade the basic abilities of older characters IS standard gacha practice. Genshin and Star Rail are the only ones I'm aware of that don't do it in some fashion, although I guess Star Rail's too young to really consider it yet. Don't go blaming standard gacha practice for what is clearly a Mihoyo problem. Genshin does this through artifacts and extremely specific support characters. Xiao's artifact set and Mika for Eula, etc.

Gauge Recollection would maybe be another one I'd like to see dispellable, since break instantly dispels it anyway.

Story speculation incoming. Acheron: I'm pretty sure she's linked to the Finality, and is experiencing her life out of order in the same way that he "travels against time". Her red text maybe literal spoilers, she's quoting from "ahead" in the script -- she says "...Have we met somewhere before?" in red text the very first time you see her, and then in normal text, ellipsis and all, in the hotel room. Her memory is bad because she's moving through time weirdly; things she should remember are things she hasn't done yet. That's also why she asks if you've met before the first time you see her. She didn't step in to save Firefly for timeline reasons, maybe... she implies something compelled her not to intervene, after all. Misha: Is definitely linked to Mikhail and the Watchmaker in some way. I expect Penacony to be like Omelas, a paradise built on the unlimited suffering of a child, Mikhail. Misha might be a projection of Mikhail's or something. Dream Penacony being created by a child's dream might point at why only the childlike can see Clockie -- and the one who creates Clockie would be a literal Watchmaker. The third area is named A Child's Dream, which is all but telling us what's going on, really. Something Unto Death is the jailer that guards Mikhail? And Firefly/Robin probably aren't dead-dead but imprisoned wherever Mikhail is.

Re: kingdom hearts dream death chat My take is that Sunday describing them as "spiritually dead" is distinct from "actually dead". It's entirely possible that their IRL bodies are still alive but their minds cannot return to them, and could indeed by in a very inconvenient place to access thanks to Something Unto Death's properties... possibly the very core of the dreamscape, maybe even part of a gestalt entity built from Mikhail that generates and sustains the whole dream itself. If we take the visions in the third area as a basis, the whole thing might be powered specifically by children's dreams, hence only the childlike being able to see Clockie. Both of those "killed" are young women, still young enough to qualify. It might be that they've just been added to the collective rather than outright killed.

If you don't like a character you don't like a character. I have a feeling that Team IPC (Ratio, Topaz, Aventurine) will genuinely be great fun. Aventurine's numbers will determine who member number 4 is, I suppose.

AshtonDragon posted:She definitely can't be used like Bronya, where you make Bronya just slower than your DPS so that they effectively get twice as many turns. But If you make her way faster than your DPS (even giving them more attack instead of speed), then I think the 50% advance should work out really well. Like, she'd need to be more than twice as fast as the DPS in order for them to not immediately act she uses her skill. For me it seems like you want to run Sparkle as fast as possible and have your DPS use ATK boots. Sparkle will never double-turn like Bronya can, but she can act as an effective ~50+ SPD. Speed matching her the way you do with Bronya makes the MoC cone not great for her because you can't guarantee the DPS will move immediately after. But that also doesn't work with people like Topaz or Jing Yuan who will lose the cone buff before their followups go off, so DDD is a solid choice in those cases.
