  2. 53:05 Don't worry Jinx. Instead of leaving my characters at a4, I now leave most of them at a5!

    But for real doing this taught me how to minmax and play optimally to the point that I can 36 star the abyss with underleveled characters.

  3. Before I continue and forget about it, at about 19:21, an artifact optimiser tool is mentioned, tenten mentions it exports something? Do they ever go into what it is/ does anyone actually have a link? I did some searching but ain’t sure if what I found is what they’re referring to. And yes I feel Jinx’s pain, I gave up after a while having a folder with too many pictures of artifacts

  4. I think c0 Raiden can still do respectable damage even with no bennet buff. The comp I run is Jean+xianling+xingqiu: Enemies afected by electrocharged can still proc overload and I use jean to herd enemies. This comp manages to 3 star Magu kenky consistenly for me.

  5. Do you think that having MiHoYo provide characters like the test runs or some events (Assuming they decide to take the championship thing and implement it) would be a good idea in order to set an even playing field?

    Reply
  6. yeah, raiden especially at c0, ain't that good… I've been saying this a lot on reddit, but i guess people want her to be good and shuts down everyone else. the beidou scam is just another "fuck you" from mihoyo that the players happily swallowed too

    Reply
  7. a guest make this even more interesting since guest really bring a different idea. BUT the issue with this podcast since the first episode is heck yeah the VOLUME of everyone of you is so different lol I'm busy adjust re adjusting my speaker haha

  8. co raiden was so disappointing for me the whole character seems like a whale bait. I'm at fault too for falling for Archon hype after how good the other archons are at co but man if all characters are gonna be like raiden where their below average at c0 and you need c2+ to be good than i'll probably drop this game because it just doesn't feel right.

  9. Yeah, prolly main reason I, as a Raiden enjoyer, find it hard to recommend her as f2p/low spender friendly is how dependent on a whole team's stats her value is. Without resin refreshing or getting good BP/gacha weapons, shit is not easy and can take a long time to optimize

  10. I thought of a reason why Mihoyo specially made Beidou-Raiden synergy not work. Likely it is because they want to reserve the spot for this perfect-pair electro character for our Raiden to Yae Miko. If Mihoyo allows Beidou to work with Raiden and allows this strong pairing comp, this might affect the value of Yae Miko and the sales and people desire to pull for her. I guess Mihoyo doesn't want to risk that and wants to package as much value to Yae as possible.

    But on second thought, in order for this to happen, Yae Miko's kit must almost function like Beidou and have high energy off-field burst. Yae will then be a direct upgrade of Beidou which made Beidou obsolete. I don't wish to see characters get deprecated so quickly.

  11. You guys need to work on not talking over each other. I know the guy who modded for the last 2 podcasts was absent, but someone should've stepped up. Otherwise, great content. Would love to hear more of this.

  12. 53:06 even as someone who has watched just about every video on the channel I still leave characters at A3/4 because of that video. It still works because I have been doing 36* abyss with level 60 characters that doesn't even have fully build artifacts like Barbara in Morgana with just TTDS and unupgraded artifacts, even when I finally got Mona, she's still level 60 with trash unupgraded artifacts. I really think that this game is very easy because it's made to be playable on mobile and I've saved 10 mil mora from not upgrading my characters, so much that I don't even think that pulling for meta makes sense anymore, I find it more enjoyable pulling characters I like instead.

  13. I feel like one of those few players that actually enjoy Yoimiya. As a non-Hu Tao haver and someone that doesn't enjoy Diluc or Klee, Yoimiya is a lot of fun. With a cracked Shimenawa set, she absolutely slaps in an overload comp. Her burst feels really bad to use, so you don't really lose out much by never bursting (it basically functions as a shitty riptide).

    Idk maybe it's too much copium, but I enjoy making Yoimiya work.

  14. AH, Fate franchise a once decent franchise turned rotten by the creation of Fate Grand Order, which pretty much ignores all previous estabilished rules and asspulls a ton of shit. Making the franchise even more complicated than it ever needed to be. To make matters worse, all Nasu needed to do was say this game is not canonical, but no. He kept that thing as canonical.

  15. I love how no one points to Raiden being more than 90% usage in Spiral abyss since she came out and usually at C0 and Rational being a DPS increase over National, and fail to mention that she increases burst damage for others in the party. Lowering ER requirements does not mean changing all your artifacts. And no one mentions that 9 seconds of funneling causes loss of DPS vs 9 seconds of Raiden Q which gives similar energy gain but with damage from Raiden totaling between 100-150k at C0 during those 9 seconds. Funneling is not fun or efficient and everyone seems to make it out to be some sort of amazing strategy that must be used to maximize DPS.

  16. Another amazing podcast! Looking forward to your guys thoughts on Thoma.
    Quick question, in the next patch with the new artifact set that increases Geo dmg and defense, and the free new def% sword-will building turretbedo now be more viable than splitbedo?
    Thanks! ^ u ^
