No Wave posted:Sara's buff is 2/3s bennett's no matter how you look at it and crowfeathers will also be bound by aoe. Bennett is the best character in the game by a massive margin so this doesnt mean she's bad. C6 Sara gives a 60% Crit DMG buff to electro damage so she'll be an incredible buff to a DPS focused Baal, fittingly enough. Of course that requires you to pull Sara 7 times while chasing for Baal and that will be a tall ask unless you are a mega whale already going for C6 Baal or something insane.

Man, some of the new gameplay elements are intensely annoying, especially when combined with old joys like wonky terrain interaction. Still absolutely loving it though, bought the login thing and battle pass because playing for free almost felt bad. I hope they drown in yens, yuans, moneys.RareAcumen posted:Still don't know how to take videos out of reddit or if it's possible Flat earth confirmed. They should make this an option, looks amazing.

I did a 10pull earlier this week and got a non-guaranteed Ayaka and Chongyun, so I'm pretty happy with that. Having a nearly maxed out Eula means I'm in no real rush to level either of them, but it's nice to have a bigger roster. Might do another 10pull when Yoimiya comes out, but I'll probably just save for the archon. I'm 2 for 2, I have a streak to maintain

Having Eula doesn't really replace Ayaka or Chongyun. Eula is very highly focused on physical damage rather than elemental. Ayaka & Chongyun are both focused on Cryo damage instead, Ayaka being the bigger damage dealer of them. So you could have Eula built up and then build up Ayaka and they are filling different party types and filling different roles.

Word is the next Abyss Floor 11 will feature some Bennett hate. Which is fine by me because I have never and will never use him in the Abyss.

My reason for wanting Sara (other than the fact that I'm gonna try to get Baal anyway) is that it means I can sorta have two Bennetts. Both of my Abyss teams can run a big ATK buff instead of just one. Obviously Sara's not quite as good as Bennett--she's electro and her buff doesn't come with a heal--but "almost Bennett" might be better for some teams than "no Bennett"

They should make Bennett's burst field get erased by any and every boss arena floor so that the character is nerfed for no reason in high level content. Signed, An Albedo Main

This may be a controversial opinion but I kinda like some of these quests that you have to come back to over and over each day. The problems being so big that you have to keep checking up on it. The fact that they're unlocking and clearing up major problems in the world is probably what makes it not be annoying in my eyes. Like if this was for just clearing out hillichurl barriers I think it'd be awful.

Rolling for the abyss meta is honestly the dumbest poo poo, I'm sorry. You roll for characters because you either like them or their playstyle, or spend your time and energy grinding perfect artifacts for Xingling instead.

I feel like I am perfectly content just not doing abyss when the current floors just seem like too much of a hassle to do with the characters I have. I guess I'm missing out on some primogems but not as many as I'd be spending constantly chasing the character(s) the abyss is currently tuned to promote.

i feel like most of the 5 stars are good enough that you can probably do a reasonable clear without them these days, it was a lot different when the game was new and your cast was overall way lower character/ability/weapon/artifact level. i did a 36 star on this current abyss with half of my characters level 80 + level 80 weapon + level 0 artifacts. i do have the most meta of meta characters however, but i figure having whatever characters you like and actually upgrading them you could at least clear all 4 floors and get at least 450 gems each reset without much effort.

Yeah that seems to be what the abyss is there for and what gacha games do a lot. I still remember notice how blatant it was in FFRK a few years back when there was some FFXV event featuring Aranea Highwind who is a lightning element character in that game and them going with Titan for the big dick boss and making his weakness thunder just for that event even though that makes no sense as the summon of Earth element. Thats the most blatant I ever saw and again the only time any version of Titan was weak to thunder and not wind, ice or water

IIRC the Fontaine archon is a rules freak that throws you into jail for the tiniest things, so it makes sense that "covering your rear end" is a high priority for someone from that nation.

I only went to Floor 6 Chamber 3 in the Abyss and I never bothered beyond that and good luck making me care to try further. I'm more interested in if the Seed Dispensary will give me more seeds when I harvest stuff in the teapot too so I won't have to worry about finding fresh Naku weeds in the wild anymore. Also having a new region to demand show me where ore is rules. It almost makes up for the ore being smaller and more annoying to hit. Luckily Zhongli and Razor explode it all in a radius very easily.

Hey some of us got hosed on both Zhongli banners and still don't have him.

I seriously doubt floor 11 is going to actually cause a problem for Bennett if you're currently getting 36 stars. They'd have to ramp up the difficulty of the entire floor for it to be much of a concern.

Haven't checked in in a while, has anyone done any theorycrafting on what characters or teams would work well with Baal? I haven't rolled for a 5-star in a while, and I have at least 3 pities saved up for rolls (I'm 70 rolls in right now, plus primogems enough for >160 additional rolls). I definitely want Baal, but am wondering if I should try to grab Ayaka or Yoimiya before then. Mostly interested in having good / powerful teams over character designs or personality that I like (sacrilege, I know). If Baal's thing is ER + getting everyone to use their ult, and Yoimiya's ult incentivizes switching away and using other characters, maybe they work together that way?

Yoimiya's Q deals 1200% damage total in a tiny aoe. Ayaka's Q is a 3800% damage death cloud. Yoimiya excels at left clicking, Ayaka excels at clicking Q. Still not sure if either character is right for you as I don't see baalayaka working well at the moment.
