harmony zzzz

STILL no new Herta cone, not even for Harmony trailblazer? I'm sitting on 22 bonds!

Kind of in disbelief they just put weakness implant on a Hunt unit. Silver Wolf in shambles.

I mean it's ONLY for Physical, and there wasn't a notable Physical team comp with SW in it anyways.

If the only thing keeping you from relevance requires people owning Boothill then you're still an extremely relevant unit as far as my account is concerned.

hunt with taunt that causes +15% DMG taken? what line am i missing that makes this okay... i see the 30% less damage from non-standoffs but that doesn't seem like a good enough trade

i guess you just glue him to fu xuan

I'm being hyperbolic but it's more just like, implanting weaknesses for Hunt characters was SW's main niche since she's pretty bad in AOE, and all phys 5*s have been aoe so far. So, Boothill has a big advantage over Seele and Topaz. But he's probably balanced around being a more universal type DPS and honestly Hunt needs help anyways.

If anything SW's niche is just shifting more to being the best debuff stacker if they're gonna toss out more weakness implants occasionally. Ratio still loves her and presumably Acheron will too.

Randomly got a Hanya E from standard ticket so now shes E4 oh ya. Still playing the waiting game new character wise though

Can't even beat Pela in that category imho

I mean Pela is great at it too but requires an Eidolon and specific light cone, and skill + ult caps out at 3. SW E immediately implants 3 and she caps out at 6, or 7 with a light cone. Pela is undoubtedly better for AOE though.

I swear, every single trailer they've dropped has been better than the last. And I really thought Sparkle's would be hard to beat.

A week of farming relics for Acheron and I dont have a single useable one wheee

Finally got speed boots with crit damage and crit rate

All 5 upgrades went into flat defense

I can feel that pain

I wasn't a huge fan of Acherons trailer honestly. Thought it was kinda boring.

This is enough for me to finally build her.

About damn time. Now do the same for Genshin already Hoyoverse

We're live.

oh...ok then. Only at about 40 pity also.

And then got her light cone on the first 10-pull I did ok I guess the gacha gods are just smiling on me today. I was starting from 40 pity in this case but still.

Ended up going for Acheron's E2 since I got her and the light cone in way way less pulls than I was originally. Took me another 70 or 80 this time but still got it without losing the 50/50 which I guess technically is the 3rd one I won today >.>

Also picked up Gallagher and 3 of his eidolons on the way along with another superimposition level for Good Night and Sleep Well so all in all pretty good.

Did some last minute pulls on the Sparkle banner earlier today and lost the 50/50 to Yanqing, had to curl up in a ball and cry a bit

Just like Yanqing after *insert fight here*

Got her e2s1. So i'm thinking Acheron/Sparkle/Pela/Sustain? Which sustains can place debuffs?

Oh when going for Acheron lost one 5050 and got e1 Gepard. So am I building Gepard with the Trends cone now for Acheron? XD

I'm using Gepard on my Acheron Team because his skill gives her an ult charge.

Universal Market may be a step too far....or....maybe not, HMMMMMM.....I mean I'm not really having to use him with any OTHER Team comp......

Decided not to pull for Acheron. But I did pull for Gallagher to end up with nothing but Pelas when she's already E6.

Then I had a straggler regular pull so I used that and got Bronya's LC, literally back to back from when I pulled E3 Bronya this weekend.

Took 79 pulls but did win the 50/50, then got her light cone after about 30 pulls, so overall not too bad.

Was kinda hoping to get some Pela Eidolons but an army of Dan Hengs showed up instead.

Just enjoying the free tickets I can save

I still have about 50 left, so those go into the FX/SW rerun fund.

Curious how this works for you because Gepard is who I was considering for sustain on her team until I get FX.

I love monopoly

zzz where's aventurine

So the Universal Market ticks giving points to Acheron's Ult is, like, amazing, but Gepard solo sustain on some of the harder stuff has been rough.

I think this works best if you have a built Welt for the team as well.

who ever would have thought people would have a legitimate reason to build gepard with trend of the universal market

what a time to be alive

I mean people have been doing that since Kafka! And it's kind of viable for Ratio. You just don't hear about it much now since it's budget sustain and Gepard has other strong LC options. Acheron will take better advantage of it though.

Gepard has been one of my solo sustains since launch, he's perfectly good but you really, REALLY need to build speed. His auto also tends to be stupid and you often have to manually time his ult.

oh yeah no, gepard is dope, that burn has just always seemed... low impact

It was always a meme before because even if it did something it was always embarassingly pointless and definitely not worth it.

With Acheron it means getting a tick for her literally every single time Gepard gets hit in a fight. Even if they're already burned, refreshing the burn still counts. That said, it doesn't have to be Gepard, he's just the best at it. Fire TB technically has more taunt, it she doesn't get to apply burn on her own turn unlike Gepard's freeze, and also isn't as strong a solo sustain. Both of them would benefit heavily from having a strong Welt in the party, though.

Also, the Ruan Mei flower infusion counts as a debuff for the tick, good to know!

For 3 weeks until Aventurine drops

I guess this patch is gonna be spent getting Gepard up to speed and the finishing up relics for Acheron/Pela/Gui

Wait...is taunt a debuff? I can't check right now. If so, then I would say Fire TB may be even more viable.

My dude I am not giving Adventuring Universal Market lol. He is being built for my Follow-Up Team primarily.

Taunt is considered a debuff, yes

Well that would be nifty considering I already have Fire TB built.

Random question. Can I still play on the NA server if I'm not in North America? It looks like I'm going to be traveling for a bit in the next month or so and am wondering if I can still log in and whatnot or if I'm just stuck.

I know VPN's are things you can use but would prefer not to have to deal with that.

He's still probably going to be Acheron's BiS sustain with or without Market! Only 5* sustain with a debuff unless you count Fire TB.

I don't think that's a problem? Plenty of people here play in the Asian servers I think. Don't know 100%, though.

Dropping my efforts for Dual DPS Welt in favor of Sub DPS Welt meant that I already have everything I need.

His Ult is all but guaranteed to hit with that EHR, and since he has his signature LC his Skill is around a 90% chance to infect slow on each bounce. I only need 1 of the 3 to do so to get the Acheron pip, so good enough!
