I need to build my Yukong after seeing yours in action. She's c6 but on the bench
Those eidolons aren’t my fault! I’m still broke! 😂 The E1S1 Topaz though? Twitch chat came through for me on that one. I’m gonna test what you said regarding Topaz and basic attacking during ULT though. I was aiming for maximizing the energy and getting her ULT back as fast as possible before the Deer came up because I knew I needed it to score the KO. Himeko helping more on the DMG might make up for that tho. Gonna give it a shot!

I loved everyone’s build and runs in this tournament. Honestly seeing you run Luka with Black swan was so interesting to see since I usually run her with sampo. Definitely a great job doing the best with what you have while showcasing other characters in team comps.
u actually never disappoint in these tourneys cuz the thing that matters more than winning is displaying off meta builds and teams for people to watch n enjoy and u always deliver it
Slow clear as it may have been. I love the multi-usage of your Tingyun Ult, Welt as a semi-sustainer and your Luka which was so impressive!
I absolutely love these type of content! and I love how you hype up other CCs ❤️ so wholesome and inspiring! That Yukong + Ratio combo of Destiny’s was perfection 👏🏼 brb cuz Imma run both on my team now
The tourney is supposed to be entertaining while showcasing the ingenuity of the players involved with regards to drafting and team building. People tend to forget that sadly. I know for a fact if u didn't have to use BS and just had the freedom to go all in on a dps welt with triple supp you'd 1 to 2 cycle easily. All variables taken into account, this was a great run imo and mad respect.
This tournament is mad fun, hope you guys continue
The tournament was really fun to watch the fact it took 6 cycles clear, it meant more intertainment
it's so funny going from iyo's video to this. love the postivity, it's super fun to watch you observe the unique playstyles and interactions. iyo's team winning but also being a little confounding to you is such a cool side of the game where you can see how many unique ways to play there are
Dr. Ratio missing the crit hurts my eyes, very relatable even if i have 90% crit rate.

Amazing showing, thanks for your thorough explanations
Saw the tournament this morning. Good from both sides. Love these keep being part of them. To confirm. You got screwed on the deal. You still put a great effort in
Bro moon was cookin
you did really well man, if u fumbled something, is probabbly the pick and ban phase cause probaby securing the dr ratio was almost a must for the challenge but its amazing to try to pull of such off meta teams
it took you a lot of cycles for sure, but dang you really know how to play that comp and for me yours is the most satisfying to watch
You all had great runs!! and it was very entertaining. I'd suggest having one more round of bans so that both of the teams are subject to these disadvantages on who is left to work around (ot even disable the main characters for which sais MoC works for best ie. Dr. Ration this time, since you are promoting a different character). My take is that seeing even these 6 cycle clears but with off the radar characters are more fun since we already get the sweaty 0 cycle best team comp for each moc in every other channel.
Very cool to see creative teams used like this, I definitely learned a lot about Luka and Welt just based on how you used them here, so very informative! Good shit man, and as far as Yanqing I think he just is kind of the meme of this game, I have him E4 and a friend of mine has him E6 and he keeps screwing up our 50/50’s and pity so we like to dog on him. It’s fair, he can put up numbers when you play him well and maintain his buff but he’s still a little shit regardless and it’s hilarious seeing him in D tier every patch even if it’s not even close to accurate
I may be talking out of my ass but from what I saw the Welt was your team's issue. Preventing the ennemies from taking their dot damages from both Luka and BS with his delay. A simple Linx may have been better to provide your team's sustain. Of course it would mean you would have a hard time breaking shields, making the Horse an even worse ennemy, but I think it would have helped reduce the number of circles on the second half. With that said, your Luka was straight 🔥🔥🔥
I think what messed up your team was Welt. His action delay was both good and bad in your situation; good because it keeps your team alive but bad because you couldnt get the Arcana to pop within the cycle

OMG THANK YOU SMACK somebody who knows how strong Yanqing truly is I can’t wait for you to drop the video
I really like the cool teams in this tournament. Moon's wombo combo was awesome to see but I actually think I really appreciate God Doggos super off meta comp. Also Black Swan having 135 speed with ATK% boots is insane. I feel like this has to be the best E0S0 Black Swan. These clears looked fantastic.
You have your own way of showing it, but I watch your vids often enough man. You’re so full of salt and I love it haha Iyo put on a good show.
ima watch this tomorow, but imo the game was over right as the ban phase ended xD
Hey brother hope all is well! I really appreciate the context in the beginning because gah'dam were you at a disadvantage and it was necessary to understand why.
As you previously said, Tournament is meant for fun and get-together between CCs. I dont care if you lose or win, just show your strategy and interesting play. I am cool with that!
Solid runs, with strong team building and strats, happy to see the hsr community having fun and making content together. I'd argue that doggo run wasn't without mistakes tho, he could have prevented yanqing soulsteel sync from getting dropped on the first cycle by using either an E with geppy, or even simply by targetting the Ascended with the ult. I know both aren't perfect solution and both freezes might have been resisted. That would have still been the better choice, since the monkey wasn't a problm anyway since doggo had the time to finish it before the end of turn 28 (after killing the ascended) and would have had more dps. Geppy's E would have mattered sp wise, but i believe before the first geppy turn doggo didn't need to skill with SW to get the ult up, meaning there was a way around it (correct me if that's wrong). Having the two turns with soulsteel sync compared to without it might have made the clear a cycle faster, or might have not, but my point is clear i hope, he didn't play as perfectly as you claimed. As for your run, keep showing them how strong luka, and nihility path as a whole, is. Very good gameplay, losing or winning don't really mean anything in this format, that is more of a showcase than anything. On a final note, about any dps hypercarry dps on quantum set with pela/SW + 2 harmony buffers can 0 cycle. Only 3 i haven't seen clear it are herta himeko and arlan, and that doesn't mean it's impossible, just that no one has been bored enough to try. Still, very happy to see the yanqing & geppy combo, these two helped me clear MoC from 1.0 to 1.2. Good content, keep cooking. And if this comes out as too picky, i value thinking and analysing stuff I watch above internet opinion's of me, respectfully, move on. I only comment on channels I would like to see growing. Thanks for reading allat, i know internet people don't have time anymore.
That Topaz team is basically meta for the deer fight in particular. It's probably 0 cycle possible with more fine tuning.
Tbh in my opinion they should of waited till it changed the moc cycle.......cause even though its for buisness to show off the char before its to late.......its just not fair that only ONE TEAM gets dr ratio.......who was MADE FOR THIS FORMAT........its just unfair (Or should or just banned him from both side)

You did amazing with the team you were stuck with.
But still, I love GachaSmack’s team. That was expected to a E2 Ruan Mei, Scoobydoo, Himeko, Topaz, Dr. Ratio? while he did THAT on a Gepard, Yanqing, and E6 Luka? Honestly more impressed than the losing team than the winning team this time Just as I was impressed with last season’s Sampo, because of bringing unusual units and making them competitive.

Yeah it’s NIGHT and DAY, super cringe that iyo was proud but that was to he expected
Thank you for explaining your teams mindset Because i was wondering why no jingliu or Kafka 😅
One think to mention about focusing the automaton lady. Even if Scooby Doo Cleanses it Still yoinks their Action Value. Like Imprison.
15:00 I see what you mean but to counter that point if you auto with topaz there, since her auto counts as follow up atk, and she is running follow up relic set, that auto will reset your stacking atk buff to 1 instead of it still being on 8. so if we did auto then when numby comes back around it wont have the buff for the enhance numby atk so I think it was better to skill there. (wdyt)
I think its fine to think that someone misplayed. Even if you are/were wrong (which in this case i dont think) its very interesting to see what you would have done instead. I realy like your perspective on these
Dr. Ratio FLYING CHALK! his my favorite unit to use, i built him as a follow DPS.
maybe if you tuned the team to use sushang in stead of luka you couldve done it faster just because of the moc buff, anyways a masterclass on luka break effect as always
The advantage of going first in pick/ban is huge just like a tcg
Better luck next time smack. Still a great run!
6:00 I can vouch for this. I used an E1S1 Black Swan based team to 0 cycle the second half of MoC 12. The res pen is astronomically valuable and will vastly improve Black Swan's potency for a large amount of time. Vertical progression is a thing and they want you to go for those dupes.
Not gonna lie I was kinda hopping Destiny or Smac would choose to showcase Misha, also a new unit destruction so he gets a buff from moc and he is ice what is the most often element on enemies. Probably not enough time for people to really cook him maybe in the future.
Man, god doggos team was the team I used when i fisrt cleared the MoC, I am happy to see it again
Bro your team griefed the draft by not banning Ruan Mei first and Kafka/BS/Guinevere+sustain can clear side 2 faster than the draft you went with even with dog relics.
You're one of the very few people that I've seen to ever mention using ults in between turns for some extra sustain, i was sometimes forced to use even non CC ults like this just for break to not die, as someone who used only fire mc march welt and natasha for sustain untill fuxuan came out i had to figure this out myself because without that it was rough pushing into higher floors of MoC It was so confusing to see NONE mention/use that untill i saw you, perhaps someone did but i haven't seen that
the whole topaz damage is from her ULT. So you have to get her ULT everytime, that is why Iyo spamming Topaz’s skill.
Ruan Mei with err rope, err 2pc (von/pena) and s5 memories/s5 cogs has 100% ult uptime so you can build as much speed as you want
lol i just realised that the moc buff gives an extra turn to hunt and destruktion as well. i cleared it without noticing it
You complimenting Iyo's Ruan Mei unintentionally made me feel better about my build. Got similar stats, but 163 spd and 211.5% break effect (this is with her passive)
hey gacha, as a welt main with his lc i was wondering if you could show the hyper buff welt sweep, tryna see my boy do IL Dan numbers
Honestly seeing ur opponent team won the tournament isn't any surprise cuz ur opponent team alrdy pretty much has the guarantee win team comp. But what makes things interesting is definitely ur team and god doggos. Ur team which definitely no one will definitely touch and still manage to survive and clear with decent amount of clear time. Let's be honest who in the right mind want to play that hell difficulty team. Ur welt dishing insane amount of damage while keeping ur team alive is definitely worth of praise. While god doggos the SW break dealing 167k+ is definitely mind blowing. It's like seeing a team aim for win vs team aim for entertaining their audience.
My Ruan Mei it's similar to Iyo (except the E2 part... mine it's E0 for now), with Memories of the past S5, 4 piece hackers + 2 piece penacony, 160% break effect, using energy rope and 162 spd. And yes you lose her ult for 1 turn, but even with this turn off I can do 0 and 1 Cycle runs just fine, normally I plan to do my big dmg before this turn off or after her ult it's up again, you lose one turn with her ult buff, but you gain 2 SP, I'll try later to do one build with Vonwac and slow to have more options.
I think you did the best with the team you had. But I wonder if playing Sushang instead of Luka would have improved something since she can use the MOC buff and can also be played as a breaker? There is of course the question of whether she would have dealt more damage than Luka, which is why I also phrased that as a question.
It's crazy how good you guys are when your working with such limited resources like I clear moc 12 but that's using 2 good teams Jingliu one half Kafka swan other
You guys should do it twice, because first pick/ban is MASSIVE
Iyo used his topaz skill instead of auto attack is because of set effect bonus. Its based on number of hits and hence he is using it to ensure both ulti counts are being buffed.

it's such a miniscule thing though. 8 stack doesn't make a difference at all 7/8 there is no big difference in numbies performance. Same goes for Topaz's bacis and skill, either way Numby follow's up. 50% difference in multiplies, it's really insignificant, sp is more valuable for other purposes in your team, at least for me, maybe it goes for Ration for instance. The only thing you can say using skill is better for getting more energy and it's debatable, bc u will get it a bit later yeah, but your other teammate could do a better job with a spare skill point.

where can i watch these tournaments im kinda interested first time i heard of this
I feel like the topaz skill was just to keep the 4 piece set bonus up. But at 18:55 you a hunnid percent right cause he already doesn’t have the stacks and numby is already gonna go why not just normal for more damage and then numby will go anyways giving you max stacks. Maybe he just wanted the energy though
Gonna comment before i finish the video but they could start doing some point system imo because you cant force people to not use eidolons and at some point someone can just come with an e10 limited banner character and win on auto. Not to discredit anyone but still even prydwen has a point system you can just make it so every cycle taken adds points and eidolons (and or signature lightcones) also add points, whoever has fewer points wins so its more balanced. Am I being unreasonable? Anyway props to everyone in the tournament, great fun to watch characters like himeko and yang KING.

fair game bro, keep up the content@@Iyoverse
The Luka + Black Swan combo is crazy cuz under her ult he triggers Arcana too since it counts as a bleed. I do wonder if at that last cycle if you skilled with BS you would've had an ult and Luka could have triggered both to kill?
I'm sorry u loss bro 😢💔
Fantastic tournament, bonus points for style points to everyone! My only question is why did you guys decide to ban Bronya over Ruan Mei, since you didn't have the first pick? Was it just an oversight or just wishful thinking that Iyo and Moon wouldn't pick her? It sucks that you were forced to use Black Swan when the MOC doesn't really favor her. I do think though that you and Doggo had the chance to pick up Dr. Ratio early on, so giving them both Ruan Mei and Ratio sealed your fate. Regardless sounds like you guys had a lot of fun and that's all that matters.
it’s impressive how creative you guys can get with limited choices
Honestly, I wish you would do an in depth Topaz guide, because I never know when to skill or auto.

Thought the same, is like a boxer trying to style his rival but getting outplayed in the ring...
i definitely see why moon went for the elite rather than kafka, i think the idea is that kafka dominate is actually beneficial to your team if you have huohuo skill up - like she basically acts as a pseudo bronya with a random advance forward. Still agree going for kafka was the better play though just considering her health and the fact that arcana would chip the elite down anyway.
You are the GOAT
You did amazing with what you had.
U can Use Yukong The Same with Sushang as with Dr.Ratio. Yukong can be easly Used if u have the Character for her.
If you're going to go with spicy off meta picks you need to make sure your drafting is on point. 0% chance ya'll are being sweaty with the draft.
Dammit Smack! I trusted you! Black Swan was gonna invite you into her chambers!
pokke cooked you in his reaction to this bruh was out for blood 😂😂😂
Well you did what you could with your hands tied. Most people would’ve done worse by ditching Welt for a sustainer like Gepard or Fu Xuan. Honestly surprised you cleared it at all
Nahhh Smack I peep the Ayanokoji on the wallpaper I see where you get the IQ plays from now😂how are you liking S3 so far?
I haven't been about to beat that stage in less than 6 cycles using a Luka/Ratio team. Not saying I'm on your level, just saying I was still impressed with how good you did do
Even with this moc being for Dr Ratio, I still managed to do better than I've ever done using Black Swan. I don't have Dr Ratio built lol
Eyes of prey evades me to copies and preservation lc with march on it and luka lc haunts me.
Even though you guys didn’t win the way you utilized your team imo was more entertaining and showed your knowledge of the game
On frist team i play it same way topaz skill on topaz dose more dmg and ult on topaz is more important then hemikos. Also since there is a none fire weak enemy topaz becomes more important to kill said unit. Really like these break downs very fun
i would say this MoC is Not thaaat bad for BS; yea they is some Wind resistant Mobs but some are weak to it too and the Turbulence is not useless at all for her, Enabling her to Act Before mobs First Action without going to 158.4 speed, and obviously the very nice Def shred
When you say, “going three times” in regards to character’s speed, do you mean going three times in one cycle? I didn’t know that was possible
I really want e1 BS but with acheron and firefly and potentially fu xuan rerun, I’m gonna get her in her rerun.
Topaz is still one of my fav Characters. A MUST if you use follow up dmg dealers. My Topas is 68% crit 189 crit dmg. Don't recall her speed. But I use her alot
Yo that's how i played ratio but with yukong and luocha ult😂
this tournament was fire but your video made some of the decisions more digestable for a more casual player like me I wouldn't mind if you kept doing this type of video disecting teams comps in a tournament environment
Insane run everyone!
Curious why Ruan Mei wasn't ban priority over Bronya?
Do you think god doggo should've sacrificed some crit rate to get more crit dmg because his buffs get him too 100% crit anyway?
Curious if MoC buff was so in favour of Ratio, why nobody banned Ratio? Surely the thinking would have been "if I can't guarantee I get them, nobody gets them"? Or was it just to give a good show for the crowd?
is fast Ruan Mei really that bad? I just have her in a team with Kafka, BS, HuoHuo all at around 160 SPD and she's at 165 SPD. So she goes first, sets up her skill and ultimate, HuoHuo basic and then BS + Kafka after.
