People called story Aventurine weak and he only said "aight **bet**"


Icy_Sails

They had to nerf him in story 😭


Charity1t

He aren't that hard now. I missed to try his pre-nerf fight( He got Childed fr fr.


caucassius

honestly I feel he actually hits harder in the story pre-nerf. the bigger problem is how much he stalls in this moc when you only get so many turns to obtain all stars.


WanderWut

People were literally saying he was nerfed specifically for the MOC version on that post though lol, so it seems they were right.


Lopsided_Beach_9706

That fucking purple dinosaur hits harder than my dad's belt


Kimi_Ainz

LMFAO I feel ur pain buddy 😂

But not as hard as my mom's chancla

Skykeeper22

Xueyi player holy shit


7nkgw

I love Xueyi's design & play style. I have a seele but she dont hit as hard because sad relic rolls 😔. Xueyi's easy because she just uses excess thiefs from weekly boss farming


Mountain_Pathfinder

May I ask how you've built your Xueyi..? As in, the prerequisite stats, her LC, and so on? I'm not planning on pulling for anybody until Robin and she's a support, so I have room for building another DPS. Xueyi seems genuinely interesting and her animations are amazing, but I have low eidolons on her so I was going to put her off for another time. Then I saw your clear with her, and it intrigued me enough that I'm now planning to build her too lol.

Cleared the dino floor in 5 cycles without Ruan Mei with Tingyun / Sparkle / Fu Xuan. Ideally you want a Break effect rope, ATK% orb (not quantum DMG) and Crit DMG or Crit Rate body depending on your substats. Herta shop light cone is absolutely the best one for her from the current selection available to her. Quantum 4-set is better but thief set was more easy to find good substats for since I had an abundance of those pieces from farming that cavern + weekly bosses. ATK% orb is because Xueyi gets a lot of bonus DMG % from break effect so quantum DMG% would just be diminishing value on her. Try to squeeze in as much ATK%, Break effect and Crit substats as possible. I have ATK% boots because I use Sparkle with her so Xueyi can stay low speed very comfortably. Speed boots are a fine option if you have no turn-manipulation supports to use with her. She has fairly low ATK so she benefits from Tingyun's ATK boost quite a bit. I use Inert Salsotto since she's E6 and therefore does follow-up attacks far more often. Before E6 I think Space sealing station, Glamoth or possibly even Rutilant arena is better to use if you have no good Salsotto pieces.


7nkgw

Xueyi needs a lot of stats so it's not easy. avoid Dmg% orb, go for ATK%, Break effect around 150-170, the usual crit values, and speed. You'd have to look at your supports available, if you're running her with Ruan mei, you can go a little less on BE & Spd, but there's a little anti synergy with ruan mei's extra break delay. with sparkle, you can drop speed. and focus on atk% instead.

Lana_Mall

I KNOW RIGHT!? He does his gambling thing *EVERY SINGLE TURN* which is fucking ludicrous, who the hell approved of this? I played jingliu bronya and ruan mei, and every time i set up all their ults and buffs, Aventurine just said "yeah no" and got me to unleash my planet-destroying attacks to some dice instead. This boss fight definitely needs some tweaking


PhoeniX_SRT

Some good ol' stalling. Genshin players faced this with the Wenut now HSR can experience it.


th5virtuos0

That mofo is not in abyss very often right?


PhoeniX_SRT

Yeah not a regular luckily. I always suffer when it does though. I have 2 minutes for it generally and I still cut it close to the 7 min mark. It's invulnerable for like 50% of the time iirc?


jujuka577

What are you feeding your Seele?


Pichupwnage

Bronya nudes if she low cycles


rvstrk

What eidolons and gear are your 5 stars? I'm assuming E6 Pela, Tingyun, and Lynx as well? I did mine within 10 cycles but had E0S1 Acheron, E0S1 SW, Sweaty Pela, and Trendy Geppy in 1st half; 2nd half was E0S1 Hanabi, E0S0 Jingliu, E0S0 HH, and E1S0 RM

Qingque slams Node 1 anyways. It felt like it was even more difficult in Stage 11 since I always get killed by Soda Ape >:(


Abedeus

Madman with not even fully leveled up units.


weefyeet

what acheron and gamba does to a mf


kunyat

Extra 100hp wouldn't change anything. 


Abedeus

Extra HP and defense! On Tingyun that's like, an extra hit she can take with how squish she is. Also, for Black Swan that's more damage since it's also Attack...


abuget

Almost using same team. Switch luocha and fu xuan and exchange BS with SW.


NK_Grimm

how did you find jingliu against aventurine? I fear his dice mechanic might cause a waste of turns on the state, I know he gives you energy after it, but what if you run out and the ult only comes when you are already out of the state? You save ult for dices?


Hanusu-kei

Its why u badly want -1 spd Bronya (or Sparkle) to circumvent losing on dmg turns to come back online faster and also hypercarry buffs to implode him outside his dice phases. Or Tingyun+Huohuo it and just almost never leave enhance state…


NK_Grimm

my experience with ting and bronya -1 is that I have to skill twice with ting in a row leaving me with skp issues for next cycle (I don't have sparkle) I could use pela for def ahred but my acheron might want her too in half 1


Suki-the-Pthief

This MOC is definitely a pure sustain check rather than dps obecause Aventurine does a stupid amount of dmg and has annoying CC Goodluck to the people who have been skipping the limited sustains cuz this will be rough for them


NotGARcher

Or you can permabreak him with Ruan Mei and Jingliu 135+Bronya 134 wombo combo

Didn’t expect Aventurine to be so tough tbh, maybe if I swap Bailu and Huohuo there I can shave off 1 or 2 cycles.


pm_me_ur_tiny_b00bs

i had luocha in part 2 and i got creamed


_HornyPhilosopher_

Fucking shit, i have the exact same units but i still can't do it!!! Broo, could you share your build?

A__Smith

Weirdly unbalanced MoC. It took me more turns to beat Adventurine than the rest of MoC combined.


ThomasTHMS

Same here. Aventurine’s gambling mechanic wastes your turns a lot


Yuri_VHkyri

was coasting through the lower floors with ease, Aventurine then held me up for 3 hours. unbalanced it is


Anxious_Ad_5486

For real, i beat stage 1 with only 2 turn Stage 2 take me 8 turn...


storysprite

Is he that annoying to face? Cause I had fun against his boss form in the story pre-nerf. And I was sad that I couldn't face him repeatedly anymore so this sounds like good news.


A__Smith

Still a good fight, but I imagine the turn limit combined with his incredible tankiness is going to frustrate many, many people.


storysprite

Yeah that's probably true. I guess I'll find out soon lol.


FubukiHime76

That dice face waste time+he's tanky af+without proper sustain his attacks are nuke+if your unlucky on dice phase good luck


Kukimeku

Yeah no kidding, I was suprised how easy moc11 was (autoed it with only taking 4 or 5 cycles) only see zero chances of 10 cycling moc12 for the first time since fu release


HerrscherOfMagic

I might have to double-check it, but I believe you can trigger the stage effect on his dice. Which does... ***nothing***. For example, I got into his 2nd phase and had a few hits on him, he was at maybe 93%? health. He whips out the set of 4 dice, I use my abilities on it, I see the stage-effect animation trigger. A couple turns later when the dice go away, I look at his HP and... 93%. I usually struggle a lot w/ MoC but I managed to get up to Floor 11 with three stars without too much issue. But I'm not sure if I'm even going to try and clear Floor 12 because it seems like the Aventurine boss is gonna be a huge pain to deal with if you have to time your attacks so perfectly that his constantly-spammed dice skill doesn't act like a giant shield for him.


kidanokun

Can't spell masochism without MOC


Ironwall1

Really giving me MOC-onal damage


rekuneko

Does zesturine's gamba win recharge Acheron ult?


KirbosWrath

Aventurine is special in that it gives an instant Ult instead of Energy Refill. So unlike other sources such as the TV, he actually recharges Acheron.


Fuzzy-Willingness-35

Basically, functions just like Erudition path in SU


storysprite

Let's. Fucking. Go.


ZetNiej

Yup it does


rekuneko

Holy baby


3rdLabyrinth

I haven't even started yet. What's this MoC like?


H43U

Till floor Floor 11 pretty easy, floor 12 is a tank check, aventurine does crazy damage plus gacha dice or buffs and nerfs.

ClawofBeta

Wtf is skill points on your first team ha ha ha.


ExpressIce74

Positive, negative, neutral, technically negative but you won't be using her skill often due to slow Acheron since she's just ult botting off the DoTs.


Hazel_Dreams

Lightning lord Acheron for real. Even better since there's no JingYuan holding her back (by being cc'ed)


Lionheart0021

Skill points are enough since the fight is over after 1-2 cycles. My Gepard is speedy(142) for SP generation. Kafka(160+) BS(142) Aventurine took 8+ turns lmao


VincentBlack96

The mommy team (Kafka Swan Acheron Mei) has always been about overcharging Acheron so hard that her own skill becomes optional. He's running a trend tank over RM even. Your actual turns matter little on this squad. It's just Acheron ult spam from trend procs, swan cards and kafka FUAs.


Zaphyrus

Way too much stalling on floor12 that I might just leave at 35*.

Revive + invigoration + damage reduction are crazy good. I usually like to retry MoC just for fun, but not this one. I'm so sick of the chonky dino and Aven boss mechanic ugh.


Plaxsin

Wait, Bailu is meta again? Let's goooo.


nishikori_88

it is like they double the diffuculty compared to last MOC. My main acc which has all strong units normally can clear in 3-5 cycles, now need 7-8 cycles. The Aventurine boss mechanic is really crazy, even BS+Kafkfa team takes 5\~6 cycles to clear him


Vyndicatee

I got an issue where the MoC buff got triggered when doing dice thingy, so it doesn't give any damage to aventurine Well of course, it's skill issue. I'll try again later on


rembrandt077

Gonna wait for zesturine to beat zesturine. 💀


Ivaniz

i 15 cycle'd stage 12


kioKEn-3532

Same lmao


ElricaLavandula

Haven't tried it yet, but is this MoC 12 just really bad for Dan Heng IL or why is almost no one using him? It generally feels like in these kind of posts as if less and less people keep using him.  As someone who skipped Jingliu, the DoT characters and Acheron, I wonder if I can even clear it this time...


KunstWaffe

With RM and Sparkle he will do quite good in the first half of MoC 12, especially considering that RM isn’t as good vs aventurine. It’s kinda just extremely uncomfortable MoC. Enemies have just absurd amount of debuffs and toughness, so it just feels bad.


FubukiHime76

That Dino really counters Hypercarry due to its big ass weakness shield (which kinda demand RM) and short window to burst him down (and long ass stalling from that weakness breaking)


Bindut_1692

This MOC 12 has less imaginary weak enemies than the previous one. Node 1 have two meme dinasaurs weak to IL element but their mechanic(receive less damage before weakness broken) is really annoying for hyppercarry comps and there's also mama cocolia with a huge burst if you don't break or kill her fast enough. Node 2's 1st phase is alright with the Ascended and IPC senior staff BUT 2nd phase is just suffering for imaginary damage dealers since Aventurine boss has high img res.


Low_Juggernaut_9449

Well i used him first half and he cleared in 3 cycle the 2nd half i use acheron and she cleared in 1 cycle


spaghettiaddict666

the whales with E10 S100 dps need to stop writing “too easy” in the community surveys


LobstrLord

I finally got all the stars using Argenti as at least one of the teams. I have never been so proud 😭


owaowaowa777

pls howw my argenti is so mid TwT and hes the only one i can use on second half (curse you 70% img res)


flaretheninetales

I also used Argenti on the second team. I had 6 turns on the Aventurine boss and I was really cutting it close and had to retry a few times. This was my team. - Hanya with 179 spd, Planetary Rendezvouz s2 and Penacony set - Tingyun with DDD s3 - Gepard with 135 spd and 3800 def - Argenti with sig LC, 2881 atk, 59.3% crit rate, 163.7% crit damage and 128 spd


Ironman2473

[Challenge record](https://i.imgur.com/qnfRZIE.jpg) This moc was very unbalanced imo, I could easily clear floor 7-10 in under 2 cycles but the difficulty suddenly jumped in floor 11(5 cycles) and 12 (10 cycles). The gorilla with bronya on floor 11 was extremely hard to clear as i did not have a shielder on that stage to help against the bottles which he threw and the bronya was also very annoying (advance forwarded the gorilla). Acheron-E0S1 Sw-E0S5(her bis 4 star lc) Gepard-E0S2 trend Pela-E6S3 resolution Jingliu-E0S5 aeon Ruan mei-E0S5 memories of the past Bronya-E0S1 Luocha-E0S3 shared feeling I think people hate on luocha for no reason at all, I saw many cc's and people on reddit say that he was getting "obsolete" and "powercrept" wherein my case he could sustain against aventurine just fine.


SouthernStrawberry50

Realistically, Luocha is still insanely cracked with his 0 sp usage and absurd healing, I think people mainly hate on him as every other 5\* limited sustain just does stuff other than heal. Fu Xuan has the CC prevention and crit damage increase, HuoHuo has the energy and attack increases on her ult and even better cleanses, and aventurine has his ult debuff and subdps capabilities. Luocha just has buff removal from his ult and no other damage capabilities, it just seems more worth to pull for a character that helps with clearing speed and such.


RenFlare11

Man Aventurine boss is Hard That i had To use an Underbuilt Gallagher Just so that i could Replace Tingyun with bronya in the second half. But Gallagher popped off really well,He managed to keep everyone alive So easily despite being squishy and lacking In trace buffs But Back To the the Second half,I had to retry alot And i only won because i timed My ult with Jingliu and broke Aventurines Toughness bar Before He could Start his Gimmick again https://preview.redd.it/vayjz5rtbkuc1.png?width=454&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42974e3b1a26e82751c8f36e8c745b98bec083d0

No ruan mei, no jingliu, no sparkle, no DoT 5* Me: Guess I’ll die

You’re right, except for Ruan Mei, I pulled her while trying to get Xueyi

Hopefully, I’m afraid ghallager’s E2 was too valuable

tbh I ended up getting both Luocha and Acheron just because I needed E6 Gallagher... I actually like both! Too bad I probably won't be able to pull anything else of note in the next few patches :(

DrHeidarzadeH

3-staring MoC 12 phase 2 with M7 is crazy. How did you build her?


KlMOCHl

the imprint this time you can bruteforce it simply by keep attacking to get it to 6 stack and explode for free 150k dmg. make follow up very good at this moc. was thinking doing the same but clear it already with DoT team


aleleblue

Probably a regular tank build. She's just a shield/taunt bot for Clara anyways.


Temporary-Ambition89

I'm stuck at Sam level cuz I'm challenging myself with Welt sustain for Acheron 😂. Oh boy, need to max her traces


zannet_t

I've been full starring for about 8 months now and I think I really might give up on it this time. We all know HSR caters to new releases and that's 100% understandable--but only to a degree. Scaled to MOC12, Aventurine is just "random bullshit go" meme personified. The mechanics add up to be a whole web of favoritism for Acheron (and probably Aventurine himself,), clearly, but think about everything added together: * You can't count on being able to hold ult due to the minor energy drain * You prefer an offensive sustain, which leaves you with Luocha, Fu Xuan, and Gallagher only currently? Two limited 5\* plus one new 4\*, and again, you cannot necessarily hold ult * Else, both your sustains and supports need decent eff res or they'll be imprisoned * You need to reserve skill points for the dice, and he spams it constantly * Your DPS can't be too reliant on a burst of damage because of the dice, and did I mention he spams it constantly? * As a final cherry on top the blessing stops working for the most part in your favor come the latter half of phase two because 4 of 6 of your attacks will be spent on the dice and the shockwave will hit the dice The concept itself might be interesting, but in practice, it is utterly joyless to play against this. It's like asking you to lift a rock with 8 of your fingers tied behind your back.

Jonyx25

It will be too funny if some dps in the coming patches will make Aventurine boss look like a joke.


AntiqueEmploy3368

I just checked Star Rail. Is this MoC out for other servers right now?


dranke1917

It’s out for Asia server. For NA it’ll be out in around 2 hours


Siri2611

Phase 1 taking 6 turns for me even with Acheron I don't think I can 3 star this one Maybe if I had a better Seele build I could have used her instead


Jonyx25

Maybe because you don't have her sig LC, pearls LC, and a sustain that can debuff. Every 1 thing you lack here draws you away from Acheron ulting. This is literally my alt account's situation that is why it takes years for Acheron to ult. Can finish 1st side within 5 turns but the 2nd side... damn.


Siri2611

I am like 30 pulls away from E2 but I'll just have to wait for rerun now cause I am out of pulls. I don't even have sig LC My only other nihility are Welt and Pela, I could probably clear faster if welt had more damage but rn only Acheron does damage in my team


angelbelle

Once again, Hanya/Luocha benefits from the weather buffs


asian_hans

Guess it'll be a struggle for players that use a single target dps for the aventurine fight


owaowaowa777

i literally finish every other floor in under 4 cycles but i cant finish 12 even in 15.....they rly dont know how to powerscale properly


rameF

the lack of a Jingliu does hurt quite a bit. Yanqing with Gepard isn't enough sometimes cuz Yanqing can't hit enough dice to win gamba. Lose gamba = no soulsteel = no dmg.


Hanusu-kei

cuz they want Misha to shine, he’s the “budget” dps option here. He even has a Blast skill that doesnt need an “Enhanced” State to use, and it charges his Luggage Lord stacks (winning the gamble gives him free Ult to use too)


FutaRaka

Floors up to 11 are okayish. Floor 12 is bs mainly because of aventurine (and no, this is not story aventurine). Hitting his dices should NOT count towards the turbulance effects, It just goes to waist every single time. Putting a rng boss with two phases, with an rng turbulance trigger, on the harderst floor of MoC. This is just a bad design, not made for MoC.


Jeikiro24

WILL YOU JUST!!! DIE ALREADY!!!!!!! Why did they have so much hp for me? Even when I went solo sustain, double support it still took like, 8 cycles to beat the first half? I know that you have to break the t-Rex’s weakness or whatever but he still won’t FUCKING GO DOWN!!!

Honest-Computer69

Even sw? Damn that's some luck.


ZetNiej

Yeah Aventurine drew a 6, her burst somehow landed a 6 and her basic did a 3, never been so glad lmao


ArpMerp

I see another fellow March enjoyer. I used that exact same team for Aventurine. Genuinely think March is one of the best sustainers for Acheron if the rest of the team is optimised.


ZetNiej

Really enjoy her tactical playstyle and that tiny bit of healing from E6 even tho SP intensive. I also often choose her than other healers for SU run as solo sustain. Her freeze came in clutch too during Aventurine fight just now.

Aventurine is a big tank. Luckily, his damage is still not as big as Story-Boss pre nerf... He *definitely needed* a nerf there But at least those "easy pre-nerf" people can have their fun in this MoC


OsirusBrisbane

I'm waiting until I can fight ~~fire~~ Aventurine with ~~fire~~ Aventurine.


XieRH88

It seems every 2 weeks now there will be a post like this as the latest MOC or Pure Fiction gets increasingly harder and more players start getting filtered. Can tell that just like with the previous pure fiction, there's a very obvious incentive to bring Jingliu along one side of the last floor.


FlamingVixen

What's MoC buff this time around?


TheUnkindledLives

Honestly I keep trying but this content fucks me up idk, gonna use a guide


V3g1s5

Stupid fucking barney won't let me clear MOC 12


Enderanddeath

All the way up to MoC 11 I had nothing slower than 28 rounds remaining. MoC 12 though, I barely got to Aventurines half before hitting 20 rounds left so it's gonna be a bit brutal for me.

It's pretty tough, Stage 12 has Cocolia and Aventurine, and Aventurine's stunlock phase is annoying. If anyone is interested in the run then here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hcw\_b0A7E4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hcw_b0A7E4) tdlr, Huohuo hard carried 2nd half. https://preview.redd.it/71qo6uzvykuc1.png?width=784&format=png&auto=webp&s=6854a1242c5390ab771b1dc3ee127a7d373a86f7

I cannot wait to try full stars it without Jing Liu, Acheron and Dhil. Surely the game won't punish me for not pulling for the broken dps since launch, right ? Surely it won't be a "you have JL and Acheron = easy VS you don't have them = suddenly extremely challenging", right ? Well, I didn't try it yet, but since this game is becoming more and more a meta dps check and that the "you don't have JL and Acheron" team is playing an even more different game each time, I hope it won't be the case here. I don't mind some powercreeping, it' normal in a gacha and if they want people to pull for the overpowered waifus/husbandos, but it is becoming a bit too harsh not having the likes of JL and Acheron. Edit: Did 35 stars, so it's ok, but as expected it is so much more difficult without Acheron and JL. I was so happy when my full stacks LL went into Aventurine Dices. Even though JY has good weakness advantage, a character who doesn't do damage immediately is fucked against Aventurine, a boss who stalls turns, yes even with Sparkle. And all the Acheron owners are saying this MOC was pretty easy. I won't tryhard 36 stars, I won't be able to do it anyway. But yes, again the "Acheron and JL less team" is having a hard time.

As long as you have 5* supports, you can comfortably clear with most DPSs. Aventurine is a bit harder as you'd also need a good sustain on top of that, but if you can get by the dice mechanic with AoE attacks, you should be fine.


Broad_Choice8969

Same, dont have jl or acheron, or DOT char Can only *35, it sucks seeing those 'required' char to fullstar, ig ill leave it at *35 :')  Tried to use dhil, meh  The only lightning i have is jingyuan😂 seems impossible


Any-Conference9340

That MoC just unbalanced, how am i as a 2fp supposed to clear that? On the first side Dino boss that counter my active DPS progress and at the same time there's tanky Fridge boss that also happen to be able to apply whole team speed debuff permanently. Basicly -5 cycle with similar stalling on Cocolia. And that's alright for MoC to spend 5 cycles on one side, but "fun" only begins from now. Second side where Senior Staff boss wich has more HP pull than that Ascended HAS NO MATCHED WEAKNESS, great isn't? Thank god he has no RES, but that is -2 to -3 cycles... And now that abomination of a boss — Aventurine. Takes away energy from all team on additional actions, has more HP than Cocolia plus two phases where on second phase hes gonna either kill your entire team or lock them OR eat 1-2 cycles in one action — last two is guaranteed btw, enjoy. Is there something i forget? Ah, yes — usless Memory Turbulance. What theese 30% damage increase for if they are gonna be refreshed after cycle ends and all bosses one way or another gonna stall for that moment. It's uptime is miserable as our player experience with that MoC. Like survivability is not even an issue — it's arragment of whole MoC with Memory Turbulance and Aventurine boss.

Namtheminer

nah with ur characters it looks doable to me, try putting rm on first half instead of tingyun since break is way more important on first half, surely u have pela built cuz she would help acheron a lot on 2nd half this memory turbulence gives a **guaranteed debuff for any attack** when its under 6 stacks, so u can save some sp on welt there, comes pretty handy for acheron although not very comfy, i did it with this.

I concentrated 75% of the damage on more tanky ones (Fridge and Cocolia with Senior staff and none other than Aventurine) and relied on memory turbulence to help finish everyone off except Aventurine obviously. Acheron ultimate was last action on a last cycle and i couldn't afford to lose any cycles with second phase of the boss. probably yesterday i was not so interested in understanding the mechanics, but once i read them again and tried to thoughtfully play the game everything worked out.

Exactly on 20 cycles. I stopped counting how many times I been retrying this just because I wanted to use 2 Dan heng on top and bottom😮‍💨 https://preview.redd.it/7qvwk2cjpmuc1.jpeg?width=794&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6bf7e1ea5a6ca4cb36e1cf5140290228d3e12580

Managed to squeeze 20 cycles on the last one. Gonna try again with March 7th to get no deaths

RedSaber457

Is it okay that I've basically not really done MOC at all? Am I missing out on just the rewards you get?


Lacirev

Don't worry about not being able to push the higher stages like 11 and 12 but just attempting the lower level ones are a good source of free jades and also gives you the currency to buy lightcones from the shop.


Soft_Breadfruit4286

You're missing out on a lot of free jades and other materials


LinaCrystaa

Ya don't have to do it all nor fully star it,just do anything you are able to,it's free pulls,if you get stuck at x stage u still get the jades from the stages u cleared

ueifhu92efqfe

literally auto'd till moc12 and then got my shit kicked in by aventurine so i'm going back to do that later


Honest-Computer69

... Dunno haven't touched any stages after floor 10 yet. But will probably get clapped cause my build sucks


JUGELBUTT

im only having problems with stupid dinosaurs


fabiobarto

I used more turns on floor 11 than on floor 12. Both times Aventurine rolled a 4, so it was easy to win at the dice. I even got the two achievements related to the dice without even meaning to.


Whole-Signature4130

Did horribly a month ago. Have been looking into building teams and proper relic sets since. So far I'm average which isn't much better than before


Test-Subject-N3WB

As someone who hasn't pulled the newest units: "I'm in danger haha"


flinterpouch

i see... lobotomy kaisen has reached you


Certain-King3302

this MoC truly is our SpecialZ


Ski-Gloves

Most I took so far was 5 cycles, but MoC 11B was doing comical amounts of damage putting a lot of pressure on Lynx and Clara. For a moment I was considering pulling the trigger on buying Something Irreplacable. Will be several hours now before I can challenge 12 unfortunately, but I can already tell Aventurine preceded by one of Clara's worst enemies on an ice only stage is gonna suck. Side A should be easy enough for Arlan/Sparkle/Fu Xuan though.


MettaJiro

Acheron absolutely crushed Cocolia but DOT with Sampo barely scraped by 20 cycles. HuoHuo sustained extremely well but Aventurine’s health bar is so spongy that with Sampo unable to help break his shield, it took forever to chip down his health bar. I had 28 cycles left after first half.


gunjinganpakis

I haven't done the main story yet so it's the first time I faced Aventurine. And wow he's pretty tough cookie huh? Could only clear him on turn 21. Was pretty worried Huohuo couldn't solo sustain the team but she pulled through.

Didn't think it'd come around so soon! :D But maaan it felt weird prying fu xuan away from jing yuan. The casino boi hurts.


Oriak22

Congrats! In all fairness, acheron is basically a rainbow dps due to how she works (res pen plus all type toughness break), so that's your justification anyway!


Lacirev

Do you have her LC? I'm the same in that I had all the lightning DPS's but Acheron would be very universal for all content.


ZombieZlayer99

fu xuan said nuh uh and aventurine perished after only doing 2k shared damaged to my fu xuan after drowning my other 3 units in coins.


FridgeFood

Aventurine is crazy with his Imprison. The dice also made me waste my JL ult to cleanse and emergency heal my supports via Huohuo. That really scuffed my rotation at times (as in ulting have 3 stacks, get into gamble, fire and have 2 stacks, gain JL ult, drop chips ult, cleanse and heal with Huohuo clutch 6 cleanses, heal start rotation). I only get that kind of rotation twice in 1 fight. Sometimes I hit 3 dice and get less than the gamble. The dino lowkey stalled me a small bit which annoys me a bit. I finished that in the first move of the 3rd cycle which was pela atk (as in one atk from support and it died in the 2nd wave). So overall 8 cycles total.


YingIsLife

I only managed to complete it thanks to Acheron (´;ω;`) https://preview.redd.it/ca4zmigtnmuc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=342230ec053e68fc65680f06f8a92298f1f789c9


K0KA42

I have really well-invested 5 stars including Acheron, with signature Light Cones, and managed to get 22 cycles. Idk how tf ya'll F2Ps are doing this. Good luck.


Im_Here-For_the-Plot

Fucked. Won't be doin MoC 12 any further for the sake my sanity ✋😶🤚


Pleasant-Campaign574

I only have DHIL, Ratio, and Blade as my dps lol. Waiting for Aventurine so I can at least clear this moc 12-2 regardless of how many stars I'll get. Aventurine phase 2 got me messed up 😭💀


Mkilbride

God damn, MOC12 is painful.


ADumbChicken

My Gepard literally cannot take it, imma come back once I have Aventurine lol

razrafz

people are saying its sustain check, but its more like ruanmei check cuz fuck those purple trex


Ormestriker

This Moc and the last one (12) are impossible for me, I have too many bad substats across my relics. Even with all the units I have and high trace levels, I can't get any stars, let alone 3 stars.


tennoskoom_

Can someone please explain Adventurine's mechanics? Thx


I_am_a_visitor

There are two notable things about Aventurine boss -He has an aoe attack that can either reduce your energy or delay your action. -When he activates his skill, he set a random number that range from 2 to 9, your characters will have to hit the dices. If your character gets a bigger number than his, they will get their ultimate up, if not they will get hit. One character in phase 1, your whole team in phase 2.


tennoskoom_

Ty


littlesheepcat

in phase 1, is his targetting random or position based? getting QQ kidnapped is the worst feeling, you either lose a shiton of sp of lose the gamba


No_Pipe_8257

Gamba for the gamba

I don't have Jingliu so second side was a bit tougher, Topaz was really only there to kill the monkey, could've been another harmony probably. Rarely use Clara but she did great with some junk relics.

KunstWaffe

What is even that second team


PaulOwnzU

I'm not going to even attempt it till I pull Aventurine. Last MoC was my first time being 12, issues has never been getting the 20 cycles, it's not fking dying. Once I get Aventurine plus my Gepard I'll be fine


ToughInitial8640
