Hi.

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@SmugSimba @phan1as_m You have to remember that the average player does not have 42+ Substat Anaxa, Archer, Phainon with 160+ Speed Eagle + Vonwaq supports. For the 99% that play with sustain and don’t have the time or money, they’re better off with how gigashilled Rem buffs were/are in Ampho and AA

@samuelljakson6 @Internextion Mind you the anti-crit knight had 1/2 the HP of this one and inflicts vuln on itself. And it was a scaling dmg loss rather than permanent 50% dmg loss that turns off kit mechanics on turn 1. And every crit DPS did worse against the memoslop shill Knight. But sure it’s the same

@SnowyMain @RiceTuesday Firefly favoritism goes crazy what can you say

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@herman_deal_ But Reddit told me that Firefly favoritism was biblical 🤔🤔🤔

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@hugesimp321 @idxsmile Making a big deal out of Firefly underperforming against mechanically anti-break bosses with no usable blessings while crying anti-shill because a boss has 20% their favorite character has been a pastime for stupid people since Ampho started

@Hanzaikeisu1 @kazjiree @zuserow True I was talking about it with a friend and the crazy thing to me isn’t the 45 sub Anaxa, it’s that Anaxa + 3k Atk and 160 Speed Cerydra on Eagle and Von + 200 Speed Cyrene on Eagle and Von

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@hubbowastaken One thing that kinda limits it is the cycle based scoring of things like MoC, AS, and AA

Everything needs a “window” in which it can perform. So some mechanics like Elation and Dot, or potential mechanics built around banking resources or interacting with the enemy are hurt

@RoseliaEnjoyer My day is ruined

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@kazjiree Ngl I feel like Harmony TB kinda needs a buff too. It’s a bit embarrassing that Break is still perma-running a 2.X free character with no post version buffs like RMC got. Fugue Novaflare would lesson that but pos 4 is either a generalist or 2.X free char for another year

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@cavaliertale @DoomBacon The protagonists and deuteragonists are and should be the ones who grow and develop the most yeah

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@Jey3o37 But in reality it’s not like existing paths would keep Hoyo from forcing full new premium teams for characters like Silver Wolf if they wanted to. I think they believe we’ll get more Tribbie’s when we’ll really just get more Cerydra’s

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@Jey3o37 I think some people have an internal belief that if they didn’t make a new path their favorite waifu/husbando would get new supports, and new path tells you early that half the characters aren’t doing that.

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@sandbinalover @hubbowastaken They base it entirely off the statistics they gather which would put the two of them in the same tier, there are some issues with this approach but I mean they are upfront with how they rank, it’s more that other people screenshotting the lists are not

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@herman_deal_ I don’t think Puppets is amazing game design or anything, but they’re kinda inoffensive compared to modern bosses that have more interesting mechanics but are more unfair. I think it’s interesting that when Puppets last appeared in 3.6, every DPS struggled way more with Sleepie

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@Nakatsu1178 @dankememe_ @ChampionAzure That was the second issue lol, you see a trillion branching paths but if you actually go through them you realize they basically just loop back and the entire level is just a long point A to B with a ton of “branching paths” that will get you lost or waste your time

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@dankememe_ @ChampionAzure Try watching it again and asking where you think you should go during it. You probably won’t have a good idea and a couple guesses will be wrong. you’ll probably notice many of these pathways don’t lead anywhere and will waste time, the rest don’t meaningfully change the level

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@SnowyMain To 0 cycle Argenti? I was able to do it with E0 Fugue and E0 FF if you drop SW for RMC, the speed gets really weird tho

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@hotpotfox Ironically if they do NF Jiaoqiu into a healer he’d probably become BiS in break. I ran the numbers a little while back and Break has such little vuln that Pearls JQ gave slightly better amp to FF as E0S1 Lingsha, with Lingsha getting the extra BE from Dahlia’s Lingsha trace

[Gwaegs @gabrielcw2000]

@kazjiree No but I have played a lot of Break Himeko in PF which is objectively unconscious gameplay but it does have comedic value
