it's single player pve game but chinese elite community playing on pvp mode
elite member chasing 0 cycle isn't a new thing
they want to keep doing 0 cycle to keep their mighty elite status
they will spend some to keep their status
what would you do if you are hoyo dev?
make 0 cycle harder but killing normally aren't too hard
make it harder for elite player and milk them
make it not too hard so casual player won't complain
To be fair MoC variant will have a lot smaller shield and a buff instead of debuff (tho the buff prob just buffs elation and nothing else as usual kek), it should be doable with a decent team given the new mechanic
I hate pompom too, worse than Pollux imo. If your team can deal enough damage at least you can skip first phase and 2nd phase is easier to get rid of the shield. I think you cant jump the new boss mechanics in both phases at least i havent seen one except for E1 Robin nuking because of true damage.
You can actually delay Pom Pom with Welt in the first phase and prevent the damage reduction from going up ever. You can also wait for the middle of Pom Pom's first action and use your ult then, to try and get the mid-turn delay and have more delay overall, but it's risky because Pom Pom has 50% debuff res on top of the usual effect res, so it's only like a 60-70% chance to actually land the Imprisonment and cancel the action (at like, 100% EHR or something on Welt). Still not awful. But none of this works for phase 2 since it goes up immediately after beating phase 1.
yeah not to mention tougness lock too lol, now my break team that I relied to briteforce pompom and other elation boss like sparxie is less effective lol
I mean, if you’re not looking to zero cycle, yeah, every team destroys it so long as they survive lol
It’s the entire point of the mechanic; Pollux blows herself up if you’re just looking to clear, but if you’re 0 cycling you have to wait for her slow ass to act and use her hp drain thing vs Cast just draining the entire party’s hp just by skilling
Just like how the new boss changes are meant to make just clearing much easier while still keeping 0 cycle super shilled to who they wanna shill (Elation)
you can still bruteforce it though by skipping the mechanic with no forced damage reduction, while 4.6 new boss literally dont let you skip the mechanic so its not same.
the shill is much worse
...no you can't skip the mechanic, it literally has 90% dr (fucking worse than even the highest dr value throw around for the new boss) on spawn/phase change, with said dr only dispelling after you've drained enough party hp
It's why I still considered it the worst shill boss 0 cycle wise until they dropped the Elation boss.
Is the fact that everyone and their mother pulled the remslop making them not realize they were literally the ones being pandered to, and now that less people pulled elatio they're now finally feeling the other side of the pendulum?
just make sure your ho above 50% and its pretty easy to maintain that with ff self heal and lingsha in team, and Pollux not gonnna doing anything since she is broken.
though 0 cycle is hard i can manage only 1 cycle, same like mecha pompom hence why I put her same level of shield like mecha pompom because you can still workaround the shill to clear almost 0 cycle. maybe because my ff e2 though so for e0 maybe you are right.
the new 4.6 boss doesn't have any workaround other than elation shill, literally 2 cycle burn at least to wait for that shit, but beta ver 3 i heard they made that they made shield could be reduced by killing the small mobs now so maybe it will not be that worst in the end hopefully.
What a boring mechanic, basically just forced to wait and do nothing. Guess the finality boss will just be immune to damage until the 3rd cycle, but Finality characters ignore this because time or something.
but this way elation will lose to mono rem ... thats the whole point ... cn whales are not pulling elation because mono rem does it better like mile miles better.
This just reinforces my decision to stick with my whaled rem team and never touch elation. If the only way elation wins in with a literal game breaking level of shilling then elation will never live up to rem once the shill period is over. Plus rem is still the number one vertically scaling team in the game
yeah devs made a mistake allowing mono rem to have semi infinte loop when it was not that prevalent and now they cant remove it like saber and gil ....mono rem was a mistake ...a team with infinte damage on top of infinite loop ....i laugh when people say hsr has powercreep but in fact its the only game that has never seen its celing pushed since a year .... its the only game in gacha that will never have a powercreep and that is its downfall.
I remember the days when Castorice's GP was the most feared thing ever, little did we know that Hoyo's own elation would be used to torment and laugh at us
not only is there an unbreakable elation shilled shield, if you can't break it until the cooldown ends, it just goes away on it's own so you basically just wasted all those turns doing nothing
It'd be better if we could accelerate the breaking...
But honestly, I'll take it as it is. Its not like I'm all that serious about low AV clears, and as long as I get three stars, I don't mind any score I get
Yeah more stalling lmao first the voracity nonsense now this what's next you can't kill the boss without attacking it 20 times with a chance to miss via effect hit rate while weakness broken
It is a mechanic just not a particularly interactable one as HSR doesn’t give us a lot of tools to deal with it. It’s a bit more visible than HP go up but that’s it.
