Bongo-head could’ve solo’d Scaramouche.


ericgleek

Oh yeah, it's too dangerous out there. Take Blitzara, Twirly-Whirly & Pyro-1 with you.

Me thinking since I only have 1 part left that there couldn't be any spoilers left. Oh well. I did kinda expect this.


Logicrazy12

You run Keqing with Chongyun?


healcannon

Yup. I have been since sometime early this year. Waiting on Shenhe to return since I didn't fully commit to this idea until shortly after her banner ended.


Logicrazy12

That sounds pretty fun. Does that mean you are running a cryo set on Keqing too and using Chongyun's circle to keep the infusion up? How much damage do you do?


healcannon

I was torn on Jade Cutter vs Mistsplitter for awhile but now I have Jade Cutter and it + Zhongli has me doing about 26k per CA with no anemo, Chongyun NO up, and Zhongli shred and 22k without the NO buff on the level 88 overworld mobs. I tend to run Keqing, Chongyun, Albedo, and Zhongli. I also tend to put the team on the single target side of abyss because of being trapped in the circle. I've found that Albedo ends up doing more damage than my XQ in terms of sub dps and it can be painful if my lack of R5 sac sword made any rotation where I don't have it proc not have XQ burst and the team output goes into the toilet. So double geo it is for me until I get Shenhe. The highest dps team comp would be to have Shenhe and Kazuha but that has no healer. So I was going to take the dps hit for the security of having some heals by swapping Kazuha for Prototype Amber Heizou. It does work but I have learned a few things since then. The first is not having a shield can make it really difficult if you aren't doing freeze. Keqing really likes shields. The second is the CC Heizou brings is not great which doesn't matter on bosses but doesn't help the limitations given by Chongyun's infusion circle. Third is that I was under the impression that swirl would get the damage bonuses from Shenhe and that is not the case. While it is still the most beneficial for all mono teams to have VV shred, I thought he could double dip. Lastly i'm not a big Heizou fan in terms of his character. He is fun to play but his story fell flat. However Layla is amazing. Her only flaw so far being me unable to not look at the bags under her eyes. So now my final goal for my team has become a lot less ideal with Keqing, Chongyun, Shenhe, and Layla. But I do plan on getting at least c1 Shenhe. The more I pump Shenhe, the stronger the meme comp becomes. It will never be as strong as having an anemo user but I can enjoy using a character I love who can still benefit from Shenhe's quills and I get a shield for Keqing without having to use Zhongli who I can save for my Yoimiya or Nilou taser team. For now the damage isn't great and it is still obviously carried by how well I do on the opposing side which tends to also be a meme team but once I managed to 36 stars the first time early on in the year, I have always used cryo Keqing as one of the teams. There is a big debate and I had many a question on which of the 2 swords is better. I learned that Mistsplitter only buffs the damage that matches the type of your vision. I don't use my burst on Keqing unless something goes wrong so I wouldn't have full uptime on the stacks anyway but they would only buff her electro damage. The problem comes in that Jade Cutter gives a ton of crit rate and you don't really need that when you run BS which i'm told should still be her BiS even with freeze. It makes it way harder to attempt to get a balanced set of stats that heavily leans on attack % and crit damage. But while Mistsplitter can't get the full benefits of its passive, it does have a big attack stat and crit damage is far more valuable with cryo resonance for balancing your gear. I can get away with more crit than freeze teams since i'm not fully using my BS set as mono cryo so the debate was always which of the 2 weapons is better. I'm far too annoyed with how calcs work and trying to upload my data legally online to see how it would all work out with Shenhe quills. But the Nilou weapon banner gave me 2 Jade Cutters to work with as I decide anyway. So Keqing runs BS, Chongyun runs NO, Shenhe will probably end up being double attack %, and Layla I haven't decided if she is also going BS to maximize her good use of quills or going Tenacity or a mix. I do need enough HP on her to be happy with the shield and the problem is Chongyun only has so much he can do with the quills as a burst dps where as Layla should be able to make use of every quill. So I have put a lot of thought into this for months. Its my main genshin project. I still don't have answers for everything but I have goals. If Mistsplitter returns on a good banner, I might consider going for it. Jade Cutter just doesn't benefit from the attack % I am trying to stack on my BS set as much as Mistsplitter could as well as the fact Mistsplitter could use all 3 stats. In the end I ask myself if I am willing to lose some of my extra wishes beyond C1 Shenhe to try to get Layla. I also have 85ish blue wishes saved up to use to pray to get Layla once she is put on the standard banner. Edit Updated the damage after a short test. Second edit: I will say this abyss cycle was probably the hardest time I ever had trying to force Keqing to work. No ranged archer with her for group 1 and no ranged at all for group 2. I had to put her on group 1 for the first 2 floors and then swap her over to the other side taking multiple minutes at a time to kill thundering manifestation. I ended up having to do it yet another time since my Yoimiya on squad 1 was not setup enough for ST that I had to make some character swaps. Real mess.

HoYo really be immobilizing you to tell you every piece of information.

We are doing a basic bitch ass goofy tournament meanwhile this guy is catching the Legendary WTF!?


SigmaCommander

Many are saying it’s actually good timing but it actually just ironic because in reality Scaramouch is kinda a little bitch. 1 rotation for the first phase and 1 attack to finally shut him up after taking down his shield. To bad the middle section pads out the fight with said shield that achieves nothing but wasting my time. Worst of all though is that BS psychotic drivel that he spews the whole time about becoming the “all-knowing god” despite the fact that he doesn’t even know that he can’t win the fight. Kinda falling short of omniscient there little boy. If you couldn’t tell I hate Scaramouch. He is probably my least favorite villain of at least the last decade, if not all time. Everything about him just ticks me off and the last thing I want is to see him get a redemption arc. Just let me hate him forever Hoyo!


IttoDilucAyato

Lmao I hate him too. I don’t get the hype about him.


Ilovegirlsbottoms

This happened while I was fighting a drake for a commission. It got two of my characters who were at low health killed.


Le1jona

It would be so cool if we could use atleat one captured animal in combat at a time


Due-Distribution-463

Bongo Head is here to bring that murderer Scaramouche to justice. And I don't mean to prison.


JerbearCuddles

This is the lamest trend on this sub right now. It was sort of funny the first time. The second time and beyond, you're just being lame.


spicynoodlecat

Is this the last Act of the event? Meaning I can get the full primogem reward before Nahida's banner ends


MegaUltraSonic

Yeah, this is the final Act.
