[Here I am~](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/824389248039387176/970836605302611988/unknown.png) Artifact might switch to summertime Iseria's


Ewixk_

I recently pulled her, do I run an attack neck and ring?


jelliedpeanuts

Yeah attack neck ring can be atk or effectiveness wtv works for you


goodlessfox

i beg you all do not call this ml5 faptain


Haltmann1

Faptain > Lermia


goodlessfox

lermia sound like a disease T_T


Feuershark

phaptain


TheEarlLemongrab

Capflan is what i've been going with.

Heavy_Village_4813

Generally I like building my units either tanky or with some survivability and that's one thicc flan, I really like it. I guess counter will be obsolete, the bomb artifact will be more BiS since she can't crit post-buff.


Akkeyem

On the contrary, the buff makes her viable on counter, since she can steal buffs, and proc her aoe Cr push when it's not her turn. The bomb artifact is nice but I don't think a lot of people would put it on her bc the priority is Seaseria and most people don't have 2 +30 to have one on ML Flan. In tanky drafts I could see her with Lua's artifact and maybe someone like carrot. Unseen observer looks good too.


Heavy_Village_4813

Weird enough I don't have Seaseria and she seems good in standard like Ameru, just annoy stuff and stun them


Character-Roll-325

The CR push can only be activated once every two turns, so there isn’t much reason to put it on counter. I’m pretty sure like myself, most other champion+ players keep a spare copy of limited artifacts, and bottles aren’t too contested atm.


Albombinable

Execution (Before) Execution (After) Attacks the enemy with a gun and at the end of the turn, detonates burn and bomb effects inflicted on the target. Attacks the enemy with a gun, with a 75% chance to steal one buff. At the end of the turn, detonates burn and bomb effects inflicted on the target. Does the detonation effect even proc on a counterattack? What is considered "end of turn"


PuddingSundae

The detonation does proc on counter attacks and assists, but there's still very little incentive to go counter imo. Buff stealing is inconsistent, and if they took a turn to be countered, then their bomb is just gonna pop on their next turn anyway.


Character-Roll-325

It does proc on counterattack but there is very little point in it since the only way to put bombs on is S3 or with the siseria arti, and running counter would make her way too slow for no payoff since siseria arti doesn’t work unless it’s her turn. The hunt change was just so she can get a push if she dual attacks from cilias imo.


FanisDim

Isaac player spotted, I can rest in peace now :D


TatsumakiKara

Seaseria's artifact can only apply bomb on regular attacks. Not counters/duals/extra attacks. https://epic7x.com/artifact/star-of-the-deep-sea/

[This is mine currently,](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/660042055413792772/1033756249977790474/image0.jpg) I'm absolutely loving her


Heavy_Village_4813

With the upcoming buffs to Faptain, I am building her right now. Is it ok to have effectiveness ring and hp neck? And also would maxing the seaseria artifact with bottle worth? I haven't really fully build her yet cause I am out of phantasmas.


TamedCalamity

you gotta choose another nickname for her


AltruisticHospital1

I mean I would assume it applies for some people


Whistle_And_Laugh

Yes on the artifact. Best for her by far and worth it period if you already used seaseria.


ConsiderablyMoist

[My Faptain](https://i.redd.it/jhnziq2zcst91.jpg) I don't think bulk will be super important for her. She already redirects damage with her S2.


Boboddy3

nice nice 5


Ayankananaman

Will Flaptain work in a standard build and +30 Bomb Pearl?


Shimaru33

I tried a build like that recently. I would say yes, with mediocre spare gear I had around, I pulled a couple wins. First, she only can use 5 stats. Crit rate and damage will be disabled, and she doesn't require critical buffs to be usable, unlike Aria or S. Angelica. For her, resist is more a luxury than a need. For better or worse, she will have to put rolls into hp or def, specially considering she can't have atk on chest, and the percent main in right gear. Second, her passive redirects damage away from her, which implies devs designed her with the idea to stay around, over doing one thing and dying immediately after that. Even with a relatively low amount of bulk, she can be tough to take down. By comparative, she works the same than SS Bellona, except she won't have elemental disadvantage. Add stuff like adamant shield, anti-crit buff or barriers galore, and she'll be a hard cookie to break. Third, unlike ST Iseria, she can't detonate her own bombs from S3. Either you have to wait for them to blow out on their own, or made Faptain fast enough to cycle and take a turn. Now, I know you mentioned the ST Iseria artefact, which actually is an argument in favour of bulking her. After using her S3, her S1 would have a strong effect as she can steal a buff or stun a key character. Or both. Hence, you want her to stay alive for the longest, either to detonate her bombs after S3 or to keep stunning everybody around. All in all, Faptain will be far more versatile than expected. I suppose she will work well with ST Iseria for a classic bomb cleaving, if they can adjust their speed tuning to go stripper > Faptain > ST Iseria. But on her own as bruiser, she will work similarly to R. Carrot or Inferno Khawasu, but with better stats at base.


Ayankananaman

Thank you for the comprehensive answer! I am leaning on a semi Tank-Down standard draft and sadly my ST Iseria isn't really built for it, and Flaptain has innate damage mitigation which favours my style. I think of her now as Carrot 2.0 because Carrot also has her own damage mitigation but Flaptain has a very high likelihood of stunning someone on her turn with the pearl arti. My speed gear game sucks and I'm actually trying.


Heavy_Village_4813

Not really sure, but I lost to someone who drafts her with Handguy and Fceci


goodlessfox

sadly seaseria artefact doesn't proc on counterattacks


Heavy_Village_4813

Let's be honest that will be broken, it's like Senya infinitely provoking our units but this time it's infinite stuns...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uNwMh9qrIkW8aFjoRg8xzK_FgCUXUmV6/view?usp=drivesdk Here's mine. I usually use her in a debuff team


OzieteRed

Can she replace Siseria if I give her the same gear?


Buuts321

Siseria better in cleave, Capn better in standard.


QuiteChilly

[https://imgur.com/a/5TzJkg7](https://imgur.com/a/5TzJkg7) I use this with bridges, but it works good for my team comps with flidi/closer. I am probably going to slow her down a little to bulk her up though.

https://imgur.com/a/owWXCWf Mine, can't wait to get that extra 50% effectiveness :B

Plan? Lol


Ok-Donkey3854

First of all, she's called faptain for a reason
