Since other characters can charge her ulti, will she benefit more from ATK% boots then SPD boots? Can someone do the math and tell me how much speed do other 2 nihility charas need to charge her as fast as if Acheron had SPD boots and how much difference in this will make her signature LC(assuming it gives +1 ulti point on both her basic and skill)?
For Acheron Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters is good?
So at level 10, her ult deals 15% ATK damage to all enemies if CK is consumed, plus another 15% per CK consumed. Does this add up to 45% (considering the first 15% already accounted for the first stack consumed) or 60% (considering 15% is a base value and 15% is added for the first stack)?
Can we talk about her E6? From what I have read and seen, her ultimate depletes toughness regardless of the enemy’s weakness types. Doesn’t that make her E6… absolutely broken? I mean, it’s waaaaay beyond any other E6 I have ever seen. Pair E6 Acheron with Ruan Mei and you basically win HSR…
Unless the toughness depletion thing is only exclusive to her ultimate state but Idk, hope someone can confirm.
I never considered it would make her skill ignore weakness… but it IS an E6 and we’ve seen characters like Ratio with absolutely insane E6s
I reply to you because you’re the top comment but yeah, y’all can disregard because I saw someone actually tested her E6 and I confirmed both skill and basic didn’t deplete toughness. _(:3」∠)_
Which is fair because it would be too busted anyway. If it was true, E6 Acheron owners won’t ever need to pull other characters again lol
Not from what i understand. It just says her normal and skill do ultimate damage as in attack type. Her talent specifically states while in the ultimate state she gets those buffs. It’s not the ultimate attack, it’s the state that grants all those bonus’s. All the E6 does it allow her normal and skill to benefit from Ultimate only damage buffs like it’s own 60% critical damage bonus. Not the buffs that the state grants. I think.
EVen if she dosn’t deplete weakness, the insane ULT DMG buffs she has will basically make them into lesser versions of her ULT.
Her E6 only makes her skill also count as ult dmg (for things like Salsotto), it doesn’t actually change her skill into an Ultimate atk.
Could she work on a DOT team as a sub dps with Kafka, BS and a sustain unit?? Is it as viable as I’m an avid DOT user and was wondering if she’s a good pick.
If you’re using a DoT team Ruan Mei will be far superior in that slot
need some clarification on this Red Karma state (technique)
Does Crimson Knot count as a Debuff or as an “Other Effect”?
I guess the best team could be Acheron (E0), SW, Pela and sustain
I dont have BS/Kafka, would she be viable without them.
Thinking about E0 or grind to E2S1 since waifu, but i have no idea how much i lose for not having nihility mommies :^(
She’s not only viable without them, but doesn’t even want them
Acheron wants debuffers like SW, Pela or Guin
Oh no. A niche character that needs a full party of same path (needs 1 or 2 of same path, but we know we need 1 sustain character either preservation or abundance, which is not nihility).
No thanks, I even don’t build DoT or nihility party. Thanks to this character kit, I can skip easier for next future character. And I believe we will always get more interesting and unique new characters.
It does feel like they are going for a ‘soft’ version of kompu gacha where making a powerful team requires getting specific characters (like 4 piece relic sets to unlock the bonus effect). I say soft because there are f2p alternatives like pela, gui which are ok I guess. Just hope they don’t get too aggressive with this in the future.
Only when a character is as powerful as this ones going to be. Idk of anyone’s done any calcs yet but leaks have already shown her capable of hitting for 250k unbuffed with meh relics. Acheron may very well be the first character to hit 1m outside of SU and Doomsday Beast.
People throw out numbers with so little context on the fight conditions I couldn’t even begin to figure out how to emulate these supposed “damage showcase” from the in-game trial into calcs. What enemies and what levels are they attacking anyway? Gear and stats? Is the number they’re throwing main from Skill damage, Ult, is it total damage, or main target only? And so on…
It was trial, ult hit vs 4 enemies. She was with Pela and Sampo (Along with Lynx.) But Pela did not get her ult off. As a result Acheron had no damage amps at all outside of her own kit and if you know trial characters they almost always have a pretty average to meh relic set up. Jingliu was painfully weak in her trial and we know what she can do when set up correctly.
Assuming the same for Acheron the fact she did 250k under such conditions is a testament to her potential even if it was against 4 enemies. Which is why i said, when set up right, with 2 damage amping Nahility chars and maybe even RM as a 4th, i wouldn’t be surprised if she could hit absurd numbers not yet seen before outside of SU or Doomsday Beast vs 5 enemies.
Sorry, that might’ve come out of nowhere… I’m not slighting you at all. Really just want to know about specific fight conditions since I see what’s on *my* calcs, but I can’t directly compare to other people’s claims.
It’s fine.
Idk how accurate this is. But another leak came out about 2 hours ago where Acheron hit for 700k on a group and 338k on a single target without any extra Nahility units so she was missing 60% of her potential.
Thank you. Gave your earlier reply a check, and yeah it seems to roughly line up.
Here’s the conditions on my end:
– E0S1 (LC effects active) + Debuff set (max effect for convenience) + new CRate Planars.
– Has CRate/Spd/Atk%/Atk% on main stats, 6x CRate/15x CDmg on subs (none on Atk%). Crits are 74.9 / 221.48
– Assuming all enemies are Lvl 90 and weak to Lightning but is not Broken.
– First-time usage of her Ult where her A6 buff will first ramp up (first slash starts at 30% dmg) and assuming full Crits.
– Main target: 104,237
– Others: 55,073 each
– Total (4 targets): 269,454
If I averaged her Crits, in my sheet she would’ve done ~236k but she does multi-hits and her Ult’s final slash is the only bulk multiplier higher than 100% here, so her Crit Averages will likely be better in actual gameplay. So going back to full Crits, I can get her closer to 250k with much lower CDmg (e.g. poor subs, Debuff set’s effect is not active since supposedly there’s no debuffs present other than her LC’s).
– – –
A bit hard to figure out the second one since it’s absurd to think she can even attempt high damage without her A4 active. Could be missing some key info there.
– – –
But well, to expand on my already present conditions, I’ll go with the debuffs from E6 Pela + S5 Resolution (-61% Def), and E0 SW (-53% Def and -13% Res). All debuffs present in their kit is active however SW’s debuffs are only present on the boss. This time A6 is now fully stacked.
– Ult Main: 290,675
– Ult Others: 84,295
– Ult Total (3 / 5 enemies): 459,265 / 627,855
– Skill Main: 75,133
– Skill Adjacent: 14,991
— 2 Skills + Ult — assuming she can Ult every 2 turns (just divide by 2 to get her “Dmg per Turn” perf)
– Main Target: 440,942
– Adjacent: 114,277
– Distant (Ult only): 84,295
– Total Dmg (3 / 5 enemies): 669,495 / 838,085
My bad, the supposed Crit averages on the first calc is ~222k, not 236k.
Turns out the 700k/338k hits were E6.
Good for you =3
I love Nihility path and characters, I have all of them build but Sampo (no hate, I just choosed Luka over him and had more cons on Luka. Luka is now E6 and I have E4 Guinaifen while Sampo still E2. Maybe later, when I’ll have ressources).
She is Nihility, she is Thunder, she is strong and she has a cool design. So for me she is impossible to skip. =3 And if lucky, I’ll go for LC.
Next will be a 2.2 character, if leaks are true.
Reminder that Nihility characters include both of the premier Def strippers and characters like Guinifen which can be played well outside DOT times, as well as Welt, which is a pretty perfect pairing. This is not to mention that although 160% ult damage is good, the base ult damage is so good that even just one debuffer is enough to make it overkill on most targets. But in the end, you do you.
Idk about you but a unique kit with a new way to play the game is definitely more fun than always waiting for that new char that’s gonna get outclassed sooner or later. Honestly most people don’t care about having fun anymore.
you sound a little bit mad, ngl.
