I used the repair tool in the launcher but it acted so fast that I doubt it actually did anything.

Ran 3DMark Stress test with 20 loops, no issues what so ever.

If I get the error one more time I'll just uninstall the game and do a clean install again.
I'm not sure how much this helps since I have an old 1080ti GPU which obv doesn't support RT, but I was getting similar crashing errors, and what helped me was switching from DX12 to DX11. I haven't encountered any crashes since, and I play Narushio on PC almost daily for my dailies.

Yeah, they do have DX11 on the launcher, it's true, I could try that.

But the odd thing is I've been running the game with DX12 since it became available. No issues at all. The OC in my GPU has been stable for a whole month and it didn't crash at all on 2.1 until...I reached and play on the new tacet field. It's always on the same spot, which makes me think there's something going on there optimization wise.

Maybe it's the game telling me to not farm echoes for Brant anymore :messenger_grinning_smiling:

Jinshi - Spectro, if you want to maximize her damage, it's better to put her with Verina, since she needs to make stacks. In principle, she can be used with Shorekeeper, provided that you have a very good character on the second slot, which can create a lot of stacks for her - Zhezhi or Yinlin. But in terms of buffs, Verina is better for her, especially if she is S4 - she starts increasing all Spectro damage for characters in the group by 15% for 25 seconds.


Oh I see.what about Calcaro my other DPS, which of the two healers suit him best? My main team is Calcaro Verina and that girl with blue hat forgot her name. Pulled Jinshi but not build her atm

First of all, Respect for choosing Calcharo - this is the choice of real men with balls in this game. Secondly, Respect for the fact that you have a desire to learn this character, he is one of the most difficult characters in this game.
He is actually a very flexible character and can be played in a lot of combinations. If you are interested in his best team - Him + Yinlin (Increases all electric damage) on the last slot Verina (if you like to use the Quick Swap mechanic - quick change of characters) or Shorekeeper if you do not use Quick Swap.

But since this is a very complex character, ppl usually start with the group - He + Jianxin + Verina or Shorekeeper. This group, thanks to the Jianxin shield, which protects you from attacks, does not allow your attacks to be interrupted when hit (Not all, strong attacks will be interrupted). This makes possible learn techniques and combos on him without paying much attention to enemies and damage from them. And then, when you begin to feel confident in yourself, you can change the group to the optimal one.

feel like changing an avatar yet? :D

Ngl, it's tempting, but I was kinda planning to change my pfp to Camellya pre-overclocking. I've just been a bit too lazy lately to do it. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Realized today that she is Fisalia family, so the question is:

Which side are you on?

My Zani resources may be in danger, although I'm not a fan o jellyfishes to be honest

It's difficult to say my man, so I'll go with the boring answer here. 😏

This is the most interesting part. You know Kuro is cooking up some peak story moment where you have to pick one over the other. Wonder if it will have actual consequences...

Probably the best OT I've ever seen.

Kuro's 3D modeling has become quite impressive. I'd argue this looks as good if not better than the 2D art, which is extremely rare.

Man I've been trying to remember but I don't know where I've seen it.

There's an anime character somewhere that legit has the same "water drop" mark she has below her eyes. I had on my mind it was all of D. Gray Man's villains, but it isn't.

They have the stitches similar to the tacet marks instead.

EDIT - Some of her animations leaked:



Personally for now I'm not a fan of her animations to be honest. The whole damsel attire + umbrella + jellyfish feels like a weird combo to me.

I'm assuming it's not final, but if those dress physics stay as they are now...they look pretty stiff.

Man, today is leak day.

Aero Rover animations:

Looks pretty fuild.
My Jiyan is looking at new air characters that are supposed to be released in the next patches

P.S - Again, there are a lot of jumps with very long animations, most likely all this will have to be cancelled through a dash to maximize damage.

I decided to go to look at the combo guide on prydwen, and they completely remade the tables, in fact, breaking it into two. That is, we will now have two ratings and two groups of characters for TOA (in fact, designed for single target) and a new WW mode (for AoE characters), and in fact, we will now have two separate tables, well, and because of this, there were movements in all tables.

I really hope Kuro starts adding more male characters so I can save up since I want all the elves and also the jellyfish lady.
No mercy, only pain. The game has just entered the Gatcha mode, so to speak. Now that they have actually split the endgame content of the game into two parts, all the fun is just beginning. We will now have characters that will work well in one mode, but not very well in another, and rarely universal on holidays. And of course, female characters are more willing to spin, you can't escape statistics. Therefore, yes, male characters will not be frequent, you don't have to go far for an example. You can go to the same PGR and calculate the ratio of male and female characters. :messenger_grinning:

I've seen it fairly often in asian games/media, so yea I vaguely know what you mean. PGR has a boss with that same tear thing.

She could heal the enemy and I'd still pull her, to be honest.

Seems like there is a supposed transformation related with Zani.

If she transforms on ultimate, man, she is so back.
Damn so many leaks. Speaking of the Zani stuff, here you go:

^ That Cartethiya model is fucking stacked ;o

We thinking she's a member of Yinlin's "real" family or nah?

Aero Rover looks fucking awesome. Rover continues the win streak as far as MC in gachas goes. Supposedly Aero Rover is a support/healer? With those moves? Love it.

It would be interesting if she's related to Yinlin in some way, but I think that Kuro simply loves their lady 'elves' in both of their games (I do as well :messenger_grinning_sweat:).

And yeah, I agree, that Aero Rover does look dope.

It's not just because of red hair + elf features, though. Yinlin had no real memory of her actual family in her story quest, and was taken in by the dollmaker. She had that one damaged drawing or photo or whatever, and otherwise her true origin is a mystery. With how good Kuro has been with keeping older characters involved in events and story, I could see them being relevant to each other. Even if not sisters or anything so direct, possibly a tribe or new nation lore bits or something. The hair color and eye dots are just furthering my speculation on the matter.

The game really needs proper hair and cloth physics though, cuz what it has now simply not doing justice to various outfits and hair styles in the game.

And yeah, I agree, that Aero Rover does look dope.
If only it was easy to get lots of lvl up mats for base lvl and skills in this game.

In ZZZ you can get 30-35 blue and 10-15 purple mats for lvl ups in one run of combat sim and in WuWa it's like 2-3 per run max which is extremely bad. My Havoc Rover is at 0% in regards to skills so I'm not even gonna touch her Aero state just cuz of that alone.

Just did that new weekly Somnoire mode. Pretty good. The buffs are kinda shitty this time because you have to really read each one to see which positives and negatives they have, but I'm sure I'll start recognizing the "good" ones sooner or later. Wish it didn't use stamina to claim rewards though, and the rewards kinda suck outside of the tuners. Length of the run feels a little long, but not terrible. Wish they had that combo ultimate mechanic from that other game mode, it'd be the perfect place for it.

This is why you don’t pull for characters like Phoebe lol
Brant's banner will be indicative. I'm already waiting for it not because I'll be pull him, I'm skipping him, but just to see what will happen next and understand the situation. Now that the endgame game is clearly divided into two different parts, the situation with characters changes, since both modes are very different and characters that are good in one mode will not be so good in the other. Therefore, it seems to me that the next patches will be based around characters for the new mode WW, since this mode is currently experiencing problems with characters since before this, all the characters that came out were sharpened for the TOA mode.

If Brand gets a low rating in TOA, but a high one in WW, I would expect that Cartethiya will also be for WW mode character (So far these are of course rumors, we haven't seen her kit) but she, like Brant, judging by rumors, is locked in the Havoc element, which is already bad for TOA. And it will greatly limit her effectiveness in isolation from Havoc teams, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, let's wait for patches.

Regarding Phoebe, I don't know why there is so much negativity towards her, but in fact, many people miss several important points. First, she is the first hybrid character with 2 stances, who can act as a character of position 1 or 2 depending on the stance. But most importantly, she introduced a new mechanic of Spectro Frazzle and accumulation of stacks, which can then be converted into damage. What does this mean in the long term? Well, it roughly means that if DPS who use Spectro Frazzle come out in the future, and you don't have Phoebe, you are fucked, since no one else in the game can do this except her, and in fact, you will not be able to use these DPS effectively. This does not mean that you need to urgently run to pull her, it just means that you need to remember this point, since perhaps in the future, when new characters come out, she will be in both columns as DPS and as Sub DPS at the same time.

Now after this patch the game changes dramatically, and now you will have to look at characters not as before in one direction based on TOA. Now you need to evaluate characters based on two game modes, which greatly changes the whole picture, and in general the whole strategy of pulling characters through gatcha.

Holy shit, how's this possible? There's no way she'll be that big during regular exploration and combat outside of.... maybe Ultimate? Guys?:messenger_open_mouth::messenger_hushed:
I mean, just one of her leg is almost as big as one of the characters and I'm not even talking about the child-like characters.

Started the vault quest and Idk if it's DLSS 4 (the game looks SIGNIFICANTLY better even at 1440p DLSS Quality) or not.... but fade to black screens are way too long and nothing like this happened outside the vault.

WTF is going on here? There's literally nothing to load there in comparison to open world stuff with wast planes, lots of verticality, grass and all sorts of other stuff.

Meanwhile, just tried Brant via the new event and I'm sold.

Where was he there?
Or are you talking about that fight where they fight inside the ocean? When they give you Phoebe + Spectro Rover and him? Where it physically doesn't even make sense for you to switch to him, since Spectro Rover is already a healer, and most importantly, if you switch to Brant, you immediately lose all stacks on Phoebe and all her damage. Honestly, I was extremely disappointed with this battle, here Kuro stepped on the same rake that they usually give in miHoYo, namely, in trials or demonstrations of the character they give the most shitty group with which the character in principle does not work. Which does not allow you to evaluate him normally and creates an incorrect opinion about the character. Since it was just an event not particularly connected to the plot, they could easily have given the same Changli to show the character beautifully, but they didn't do it... such a missed opportunity.

I don't quite understand why they made both quests around Phoebe, one was more than enough. She should have left the quest with Zani, and event focus on Brant where they were supposed to show him off nicely.

That's not the problem, the problem is that Phoebe would have been enough with the quest with Zani, why it was necessary to make both events around her I don't understand. In theory, the Fishing event should be given entirely to Brant and the pirates, during which he should have been shown in a beautiful light. It feels like Kuro themselves just don't want him to be pulled. :messenger_grinning:

Ah sorry, I thought you where talking specifically about the fight.

Yeah, I'm with you there 100%. This event being around Phoebe is legit dumbass by Kuro.

Makes legit no sense having a fishing event and the focus is a acolyte nun, when you have a ship captain sitting on the bench.
