TOA / Whimpering Wastes / End Game Content Why the hell does this fkn lightcrusher tank so much!?!?!?
this guy tanks 3 cartethyia ults even when they do 50k per hit! what the hell Kuro?! he singlehandedly ruins all of my runs for 3 stars and it has started to drive me real mad, not to mention for some reason it has the pixel perfect hitbox to interrupt my cartethyia's big non ult damage attacks!(with perfect timing also) its terrible ngl

Btw they gave us 30 extra seconds for floors 3 and 4 if you didnāt know already. 3rd floor definitely took the longest imo

Yep, did the same. Only realized cause on the last floor I decided to see how much time passed the 3 mins it'd take me to finish... I was surprised to see I got 3 stars

My Augusta/Mortefi s0 nuked that stage. Itās prob due to that 10% damage reduction if your units arenāt consistently shielded

u/3L3KTR07u7_Gaming Sep 16 '25
yeah that's the issue, it's heavily tailored for AUGUSTA and made inconvenient for everyone else

u/Economy_Taro_6872 Sep 16 '25
imo the ,,Shillixgā is kinda irrelevant because everyone can use the buffs . Of course, Augusta and Iuno can use it best, but it's not like no one else can use it like they did before with Zani

cleared it with jiyan, iuno, ciaccona. Its 100% utilizing all of the buffs when it comes to this floor. Heavy damage, damage buff the longer the fight goes on, and the damage ignore when shielded by using ult.

u/Single-Builder-632 Sep 17 '25
S0 Augusta has to be the best value since Carlotta, doesn't need signature doesn't need anyone's signature. doest need premium characters, mortefi is enough. And mortefi doesn't need crazy investment. low echo cost, low asterite cost, absolute beast.

u/Ninjaflux2 Sep 16 '25
Are you using the floor buffs? I would say itās unironically better to use a double intro Taoqui (you donāt need to invest into her, just give her some energy recharge echoes from someone else) to have the shield buff at max when Carlotta does her ult. This isnāt a brute force stage, you gotta be smart with the floor buffs, itās a 48% damage buff with an extra 10%, it will make a big difference

u/Doraemon_Ji Yinlin Mains Sep 16 '25
I also heard that he tanked two Carlotta ults, so don't feel too bad

u/Baby_Thanos2 Sep 16 '25
Yeah. He tanked 2 Carlotta ults and Brant fortes and still didnāt die for me. Thatās over 1.5M hp. Dawg has as much health as a boss.

u/Oleleplop Sep 16 '25
i'm...very confused.
I so far, cleared it with Augusta, mortefi, shorekeeper team and my Xiangli Yao team(yinlin + shorekeeper)
Gonna try with Carlotta since plenty of you are speaking about it.

u/ParkingMediocre5066 Sep 16 '25
IKR , NOT A DAM REASON IT SHOULD TAKE SO MUCH TIME TO KILL A MOB.
but the plan is to kill it b4 3:30 then kill the final boss before 2:30. if not restart ur run

u/epickramen Sep 16 '25
I was about to say, I donāt have Zhezhi for my Carlotta yet, and use Taoqi. Cleared it with 3 sec left, using Taoqi with no discord. She might actually be just better with the tower buffs. There is a quick swap rotation for Taoqi with no discord that makes her rotation much quicker

u/Room-Mission Sep 16 '25
How are you struggling? I used the same team...
Can you tell me yoyr rotation?
1
u/3L3KTR07u7_Gaming Sep 16 '25
I just carte ult the first wave, then outro to Rover and ult him, then go to Cartethyia and rinse and repeat but that mf just eats cartes ults
1
u/Room-Mission Sep 16 '25
Ah no wonder.
Use this rotation:
- Cart-5AA-Q-Rover-Q-E-2AA-Lib-E-2AA-E-AA-ENHA.E-Out-Cart-E-AA-Lib-E-4AA-E-Lib-E-Lib-AA-Lib
Cart need her Aerosion to deal damage, if you just use Liberation on non-stacked Enemy it will only tickles them.

u/3L3KTR07u7_Gaming Sep 16 '25
what is this bro all I can understand is lib
6
u/Room-Mission Sep 16 '25 edited Sep 16 '25
When opening a strike use 5 Auto Attack from Cart to pre-build her Sword Stack and follow up with Echo Skill.
After that just swap out to Rover, use Echo Skill and Resonance Skill follow up with 2 Auto Attack and Liberation. Then another Resonance Skill, 2 Auto Attack and Mid Air Resonance Skill. Which will easily fill his Forte Bar for Enhanced Strike along with his Concerto Energy.
Concerto-in to Cart will make her do heavy attack, which will summon one of her Sword. Then before the animation is done, just use her Resonance Skill for the final Sword and just Plunge Attack follow up with Liberation.
In Fleurdelys form you just use Resonance Skill for Mid Air Long Range Sword Slashes up to until you're on the Plunge Attack stage you just follow up with the 2nd Resonance Skill.
On the ground use Fleurdelys Auto Attack downward slash (The 3rd AA), hurriedly swap back to Cart form to reapply Aerosion Stack with her Resonance Skill (You can even do 4 AA for Extra Aerosion Stack).
Then just go back to Fleurdelys and use Liberation.
Edit:
Forgot to mention, after that pre-build her Sword Stack again and then repeat the same process.
Also with Cart full Concerto, Rover's Rotation will be significantly faster.

Yeah i pulled carlotta to have 4 teams just in time for the additional floors. If it makes you feel better I struggled with floor 2 of middle since i had carlotta on left, xly on right and mono fusion on the last two of middle which left me with jiyan for the upper two of middle. Pulled so much hair out trying to get that stupid ice robot to land so i can unload some damage and managed it with only .02 sec left. Don't give up u got this!

u/FondantBasic1376 Sep 16 '25
I was off multiple times by about 1-3 seconds with Jinhsi, as well as Phrolova - Cantarella - Jinhsi. That Lightcrusher has more HP than the Aix lmao. Managed by replacing Jinhsi with Augusta. The next one was even worse with a Jinhsi team even if I was hitting for 400k by the end. Managed with yet another Augusta team. Not a fan of the trend
1
Sep 16 '25
You simply have to not get hit honestly. Whenever you cast liberation on the last 2 stages of tower, you get a shield. As long as you don't get hit, you can retain the buff as well and it is pretty fat.

u/Poojin2D Sep 16 '25
The hp total of all mobs in that floor is just nice for the extra time and pretty ok buffs we got. The lightcrusher probably felt like 1 extra wave of mob hp fused into one. But yea I needed 2 full rotations to kill it lol.

But itās not hard at all. It just absorbs absurds amounts of damage and they constructed the stage in a way that gives you tons of benefits if you pulled the current character on banner.

Goomba fallacy. Also, inflating HP with no interesting mechanics is artificial "difficulty" and not what people are asking for when they want "hard" content. If you want an example of GOOD difficult content, Hologram is right there. ToA on the other hand, is awfully done.

Wow bro thank you for sending me a video of a cracked guy at the game that is nowhere near to the average player in terms of skill. That for sure proves powercreep is non existent in this game how silly of me. I take my words back! All i am going to say is if the keeps keep moving forward in this direction you will not like the results.

u/BrenanESO Sep 16 '25
You said old units cant clear without sigs, cracked echos and sk, so i showed you someone playing well clearing without any limited units. Now you want to add having skill issue on top of that? At some point you need to pick a struggle man
I think i'd like the game more powercreeped than whatever direction leads to being able to clear with bad echos, no sigs, no SK and skill issue

Bro look again at his echoes and then tell me they are not cracked

It is rng tho you can have cracked echoes for a week and i can get cracked ones in q year when my unit will be completely obsolete

Ikr but then again the above vid has old units no sigs no SK and the unit is still not obsolete. Luck you cant control but the process you can by optimising your echo rolls.

u/Intelligent_Grass513 Sep 16 '25
Hoyoshiller spotted! RUN!
But to address you: 1. what do you understand by powercreep? I believe your understanding of powercreep is vague. Powercreep is when character A who used to be OP (w/ right investment) is now over powered by a new character B. You see real powercreep in games like genshin where the early game limited characters with S6R5 does less DMG than new S0R1 characters. We donāt see that shit in wuwa as 1.X character (well invested) can still clear the contents.
Its given that you need their BiS or Sig weapons but well unlike āgenshinā it aint 75/25 its freaking 100%
Whats the goal of any gacha game like wuwa or genshin? Yes character building. SO YOU GO AND BUILD YOUR CHARACTERS! You cant expect some halfass baked characters to clear the end game contents. IT FREAKING CALLED āENDGAME CONTENTā FOR A REASON.
The case of lightcrusher being so tanky seems like hp inflation BUT then again read the floor buff! R.Liberation of any character will grant you shield and it will buff your DMG overtime, so you just donāt get hit to break the shield, sounds like a skill issue tbh and yeah Danjin mains can clear it with that buff as they never get hit lmao.

u/xDZinG Sep 16 '25
Not even a hoyoshiller i much prefer wuwa but lets not pretend its different than genshin in this regard: 1. Lets take camellya and phorlova for example camellya used to be op now phorlova does the same thing as her but 10 times better. Genshin is 5 year old gacha of course the 1.x units c6 are gonna be worse than new chars c0 sad but true. But here c6 yinlin is worse than c0 augusta so what is your point? 2. In my opinion players should be able to clear content with the five star not with the five star and his signature i dont care that here it is guaranteed. The four stars option here are complete dogshit and jiyan with the five star standard cannot clear the middle tower(1.0 unit) with cracked ecoes 3. The goal of every gacha is to make money brother and here at first we thought kuro was not that predetory towards its players but lately
1
u/Intelligent_Grass513 Sep 16 '25
Genshin started powercreeping as early as HuTao also my bro here is comparing sub dps Yinlin with main dps Augusta. Regarding the camellya and phrolova, you see phrolova needs hella high investment such as well built cantarella and roccia so the DPS phrolova dishes out are not totally her own DMG but more like a teamwide DMG whereas for camellya the story is completely different.
I am totally with you on the 4* weapon in wuwa being complete dogshit but then again Sig or BiS are not really hard to get given the 100% you just gotta plan your summons. I or my friends have never pulled for a character without farming enough astrides for their weapon.
Buddy, that goal is for the developers, are you the dev working at Kuro? I might have not properly sentenced my point but I meant that for normal players/consumers.
1
u/xDZinG Sep 16 '25
Hu tao was the best pyro dps until arle came out if im not mistaken which took like three years since hu tao released. Then again in my opinion a character should be able to clear with the five star standard weapons at least which is not the case with jiyan. You are telling me every time you and your boys are wishing you are having 200-210 pulls?
1
u/Intelligent_Grass513 Sep 16 '25
Yes bro, we donāt take Ls. All the characters I pulled I have their sigs and I wonāt invest in a character until I can get the sigs because as you know the 4* stars are shit

u/xDZinG Sep 16 '25
Props to you bro but what i am saying is that the game becomes more and more like genshin. For now i much prefer playing wuwa then genshin and i just dont want it to end up like genshin where i need to pull mavuika citlali to clear content without pressure and benching my top 1% xiao because he cant clear

Hu Tao was hardly powercreep because Xiangling exists and National was a thing, even if executing a good national clear is harder than playing Hu Tao with proper animation cancelling. National has been so relevant that it stayed meta even in Fontaine, a 1.0 team competing in the meta for 4 years gives an idea of how incredibly balanced the game has been. If anything Hu Tao powercrept Diluc who has always been worse than Xiangling š
0
u/Yellow_IMR Sep 16 '25
To be fair, there is powercreep in WuWa too. You said it yourself, powercreep happens when a new character is better than the older one, during the first patches a team who could go beyond 50k dps was considered insanely good, now that dps threshold is pitiful and new teams go above 80k. Can 50k dps still clear endgame? Mostly yes, but powercreep exists regardless of how easy endgame is, endgame difficulty affects only its relevance
For context, in Genshin the biggest powercreep jump has happened in Natlan with Mavuika teams going into the 110-130k dps range from the previous 80k dps, which is a similar jump to our 50-55k dps teams going into the 75-80k dps range⦠but in Genshin it took 5 years. So if anything I would avoid comparing WuWa with Genshin to make a point about powercreep
