    Dang, never been this early. Excited for Black Swan, brother! EDIT: follow up comment after watching the vid... As a DOT ENJOYER from day 1... I'm 100% planning on running her with 2x or 3x DoT comps. My main team comps I'll be running will be one of 3... 1.) Kafka, Black Swan, DoT Filler/Breaker (like Luka), Sustain 2.) Kafka, Black Swan, Ruan Mei, Sustain and if I can get away with it... 3.) Kafka, Black Swan, DoT Filler/Breaker, Ruan Mei (sweaty and unreliable in MoC 11/12) I have my 4 piece relic set pretty much farmed out for her but still wanna work on getting the Pan Galactic Set (which I'll probably just craft, b/c fuck farming that SU world) Last thing I wanna mention, Smack. You say that Black Swan with one ult will get full value out of the Prisoner's set? Unless it's changed, Black Swan's ult just makes it so that her Arcana stacks count as *if* it were Fire, Bleed, Shock and Wind Sheer. I don't believe her ult makes it so all those DoTs are on the enemy so in reality if you are running Black Swan as a solo DoT unit, her DoT will only count as 1 DoT, so she'll need break effect DoTs to compensate if no other DoT unit. Again, it could of changed and maybe that's where you're getting your info from but from what I'm reading on honey it reads as thought the one DoT she has will be regarded as the aforementioned DoTs (for team synergy with other DoT units who can detonate their designated DoT)

    His job, or at the very least his side hustle, is to make content for the game. If he isn't putting that ad revenue into getting better stuff to showcase he's at the very least putting in a lot of extra time to get these rolls that the average person probably wouldn't put in if they weren't getting paid. Gotta remember that even the most f2p content creators are not the average players of this game and most of them usually put in insane hours or have a paid account for the sake of being able to showcase content. So don't beat yourself up if you're not getting amazing stat rolls 24/7, most people aren't lol. This is just a guide to let you know if a piece is good or close to being good should you farm for it.

    Pretty sure DMG dealt means DMG% bonus. Maybe you are thinking of "increases damage taken by enemy" like what Guinafen or Luka can apply which is a seperate multiplicative buff to DMG%. I think DMG% bonus is also always multiplicative too though? ATK% is the one that's additive. It's just that even a multiplicative buff can have diminishing returns when you stack it to an insane amount.

    I have the relics and it ended in 150% EHR. If I switch the EHR body for ATK body with at least 10% EHR as substats, I will reach the 120% EHR. But the chance for Arcana is pretty low and I'm unsure if I should try to guarantee the Arcana on every hit or go for more damage.

    @@Kspice9000 Yeah, Arcana have 65% base chance, as Sampo's talent and Yanqing's freezing chance on talent, which is totally guaranteed on any enemy only at 157% EHR as far as I can remember. So 120% won't guarantee it on every enemy, although probably would against most of it.

  • @fangservicex2964

    @fangservicex2964

    5 ай бұрын

    The basics of elemental bonus and attack% is that you get both in equal amount for max damage output. Since with Ruan, you get 68 DB, and swan herself gains 72 from her kit. That's 140% DB already. To balance it out, you usually need the same in attack% as well, but since you aren't even using atk body, that means your only main atk% source is rope. Assuming hands are approx. 25% Atk, that brings your atk% to about 68%. If you use wind bonus goblet, you are looking at 68% Atk and 180+% elemental bonus. Not optimal at all. You need attack goblet for best results. Multiplicative doesn't mean it's always beneficial to stack the same stat and it'll give you the best results. For example. 100 x 1.68 x 2.83 = 475 (68 Atk, 183 DB) But 100 x 2.11 x 2.4 = 506 (111 Atk, 140 DB).

  • @DiamonDust

    Multiplicative does not mean there are no diminishing returns, it just means that it will reach diminishing returns less quickly than ATK% given equal amounts. So when you give tons and tons of DMG% to a character the additive bonus of ATK% can start to take priority in the balance you want to achieve. This is because the attack stat is what is being multiplied by DMG% in the first place. If Attack was really low, you would just be multiplying a low amount by a high number (like 2 x 8 = 16) rather than getting the full value of that multiplier with a more balanced attack value like (5x5=25). Idk if that makes any sense to you but that's the easiest way I can explain it with that simplified overly simplified math. Just know they both have diminishing returns but it's easier to reach those diminishing returns for ATK% which is why DMG% is usually better, but not always better if you happen to have a ton of it from base kit and outside buffs.
