I know we don't need a genius to tell us that Dual Damage Dealers set-up with RM will be meta in version 1.6 or above, but even so it's still a _theory_ . Personally I prefer having lower expectations than overhype it only to find out that their performances is lower than your initial thought.

Furthermore Day1 impression can be very different with Day7 due to more testing & information gathering.
      I don't mind being proven wrong, but again IMO it's better to have low expectation but later being surprised that she outperforms, rather than overhype her only to find out that she underperforms.
      This is coming from player who think RM is "better" than Bronya (still don't have Bronya till this day) and will be a Day1 RM haver.

      CN already has this game’s combat system fully simulated in a web browser. Ruan Mei is better than Bronya in almost all situations and brings underperforming units like Topaz + Jing Yuan teams and Kafka teams more in line with Jingliu and DHIL.
      The old meta revolving around Bronya is dead in 1.6, anyone saying otherwise is coping.

    I still think there are too many variables to consider to make a general statement. If we bring Ruan Mei in a team against for example Swarm boss, can we ensure that we can break toughness consistently to "sustain"? To replace hypercarry team comps with Ruan Mei fulfilling hyper support and most importantly sustain roles is very hard to determine whether it will work overall, because it all boils down to the enemies we are facing and the amount of them. you can have 3 enemies all with different weaknesses and maybe this can be overcome with multi DPS with corresponding weakness types. However, it is difficult to determine anything rn.

    • @smexxxxy
      @smexxxxy 6 месяцев назад +2

      Even if she's not able to solo sustain every fight, she is definitely making your preservation/abundance character's job easier. This is especially important to those who don't have a 5* sustain. It's not only the delay but also the fact that you break the enemy faster, potentially before they can charge up their nuke. You have to match weaknesses to get full benefit from her kit but you should be doing that anyway to maximize dps. I think there will be situations where she's just good and others that she will completely trivialize by solo sustaining. And if you trivialize one side of MoC that means more time for the other side.

  • @valkyrieregalia
    @valkyrieregalia 6 месяцев назад +5

    39:00 I think the number of retries you need to do a no sustain clear does depend on relic investment and sort of min maxing relics in a way where you make your units beefy while still having the substats they need to do the dmg needed. Lowkey, relics that have a mix of good defensive substats and core substats might be better for such teams than just relics with pure core substat roles, so long as you have enough to still do the dmg you need. The amount of rng needed goes down with how much bulk your units are able to get away with.
    With that said, with how easy they have made it to reset runs these days, I would heavily argue that needing to reset even 5 or 6 times really isn't a big deal anymore. It's not like how it was back in the day where resets took forever. It's actually a part of why I value SW a fair bit more than Pela now. Needing to reset to get good manip rng is no longer a bother for me with the QoL updates. It's something only SW can do, where as with Pela I can easily replace her with another support and still get the 0 cycle clear in my experience.
    Honestly, I tend use SW and Pela interchangeably when I'm just using them mostly for generic debuffs these days. My SW is E1 and has SS relics (I feel that SW scales better with SS relics far better than Pela), so I have no trouble 0 cycling with her in place of Pela and vice versa. But, Pela can't replace what SW does for setups that are banking on the correct ele manip from SW which is still very relevant for me despite me have 20ish fully built characters.
    SW being a limited character too, makes things like E1 or maybe one day E2, have a far greater ceiling. After Pela gets to E6, that's it, that's her potential. SW as she is on more and more reruns, can feasibly climb higher and higher. I feel that all SW needs to be better than E6 Pela more often than not, is just E1. Being able to get back to back Ults helps her generic debuff uptime enough where I really don't feel a significant difference between the two even when ignoring SW's ele manip. But, seeing as SW does have the ele manip, I'm at ultra end game and I'm still making great use of it which makes SW far more valuable to me than Pela as an end game player who does speed clears, but I'll wait for you to make that video to go on about this.

    I love it when you said theorycrafting is just theorycrafting. And there's so many variables affecting in actual practice. That's very important to point out. Being so sure about a theory counters the point of it being a theory. That's why we have so many players immediately claims a character to be cracked then a minute later call them trash. Theory can only help you up to certain extent. Taking up the practice as a player is always going to be a different scenario.

      @@kokocute123 Nobody argues with that. I didn't say that theorycrafting is useless, I said that it can only help you at certain extent. Don't get me wrong, I believe in meta and I follow meta. I also believe that some characters are just generally better than the others. But you can only theorize general assumptions because there's lots of variables involved in this game such as RNG, stats, equipments, characters you own, the enemies involved etc. And you can't account all of them for each and every player out there.
      That's why some characters might shine in some scenarios, and some don't. Also, your character is not going to be the same for everyone. Your Seele might be sht but other's Seele might be cracked. Seele's tier is just a general assumption done by theorycrafters based on face value. It's not a representation of how good your Seele is in an actual battle. And don't tell me that investing in "powercrept" characters is inefficient in resources. You can spend 40 TBP and luckily get a cracked gear or you can spend an entire year farming and not getting one. That sht is RNG.
      About the Ruan Mei vs Bronya thing, I genuinely believe that Ruan Mei is going to be better than Bronya in general scenarios. But the thing that Smack insinuates is that Bronya will lose her value just because Ruan Mei is going to be better. Even extends his disputable point by saying that Tingyun is better than Bronya. But I think it's just him trying to win an argument. But how do you take him seriously as a "theorycrafter" if he just casually say stuff like that just to convince everyone that Bronya is bad. That's severe coping.

    Both of you actually have a good take, the only doubt I have while watching this discussion is the fact that Ruan Mei can solo sustain. Sure she can "on some cases" but it might be inconsistent especially now that the new end game will be MoC 12. With MoC 12, we can at least expect higher speed from enemies which may also mean faster break recovery, but as you said, we can't possibly disclose anything as an actual fact until we see it for ourselves this version 1.6 so until then, what we can only do is theorize and discuss/debate. Again a really good take and a really good video.

    7:50 I do have to disagree slightly here. Blade + Jingliu is able to go for some 0/1 cycles and clear MoC very comfortably. While I do prefer Jingliu hypercarry builds myself, I've seen too many people do MoC with Blade + Jingliu with ease to agree with you that this is not a valid competitive duo DPS comp. OKCode uses this team a lot if you want a lot of footage from it from someone who generally builds their characters well and such. Just because it isn't Jingliu's strongest setup, doesn't mean it's not good enough as a duo team to cross the threshold of being competitive, in my opinion, despite me myself not using it. Then again, I do a lot of duo DPS comps, but I do drop the sustain when I do so, but I'm very much so an end game player with 100's of +15 relics and 20ish fully built characters with most of their traces filled out, so I'm not the typical player by any means.

      @@fridaynight5996 OkCode did the last True King in 1.5.x MoC 10B in 3 cycles with it I believe first try, i.e. not fully optimized. But, I was speaking more so in a general sense as a Duo DPS setup is going to want the stage to be mostly weak to both DPS used to see it be excellent, as one of the benefits of a Duo setup is being able to break far faster which wouldn't come into play if both didn't match the enemy weaknesses. E.g. sort of like how Mr.Pokke says how he can't really test Topaz + Himeko due to a lack of a suitable stage. With that said, Topaz + Jing Yuan was able to 0 cycle MoC 10 A on the MoC of Topaz's release with a sustain so long as investment was great enough in the comp. But, that's more of a side note. Things like enemy element and even the imprint buff does play a factor to certain comps being able to do 0/1 cycles or not, for sure. I agree there.
      For me, when I use duo DPS comps for 0/1 cycles, I'm generally matching the enemy weaknesses with the duo DPS as to break fast so I can drop the sustain and run double support. Like, that's a part of what makes them competitive for my own clears, because they make it easier to drop the sustain, even now without Ruan Mei.

    @Jase135YT 6 месяцев назад +29

    I also think that there are very odd character specific antisynergies that Ruan Mei introduces to existing dual dps comps that really only DoT doesn't suffer from. Himeko Topaz, for example, likes break efficiency. What they don't like is the extension of the break state. This cuts into Himeko's talent uptime and cuts her damage, especially with Jing Yuan lc. It's even worse for Clara Topaz. I would argue break in general is a bad thing for a fast Clara clear as it reduces the enemy attack frequency. Adding on the potential for ice break on top of that reintroduces the March antisynergy with freeze. I'm personally not a huge believer in Ruan Mei dual dps being better than hypercarry not because of her, but because of these annoying problems she introduces.

    • @tieAcherry101
      @tieAcherry101 6 месяцев назад +5

      @lofnforseti8447 6 месяцев назад +6

      I have thought the same for Himeko and Ruan Mei's break extension to be anti, but this is only a problem for elites, because likelihood the mobs are weak enough to die to FUA anyway, not giving a second chance to be broken again w or w/o Ruan Mei's break extension. And for elites, they are also broken even faster, and in a single-target situation with an elite, you were never relying on FUA break for Himeko in the first place. Might as well used a different DPS at that point.
      Like with the upcoming pure fiction, does it matter that the break extension is longer when you will continue to break more mobs, while they spawn more unbroken mobs.
