[@johntyh]

Wait till Jiaoqiu comes out as well

[@iqhmalRedux]

@@johntyh Yep. Currently both Acheron and FF don't have their dedicated limited sustain. But Acheron does have more flexibility because she plays like a hypercarry who needs nihility instead of harmony supports. So as they release more break support FF will get more flexible as well. Once we get a new path for MC they need to either make a new limited support to replace HMC or make the new path work with Super Break to keep the two as each other's BiS. Either way I'm not really worried about these 2 NOT getting support in the future. Raiden Mei has been their favourite child for a very long time and Firefly is looking to be a new favourite in the making with how much they're pushing for her. If this patch met or exceed Acheron's revenue you better believe that they're gonna keep her alive by giving her newer support instead of making a new character who's just Firefly 2.0. Will they powercreep her eventually? Yeah. Same way they're gonna powercreep Acheron eventually. They'll make support unit to keep dps good for some time and then they'll release a new character that does more damage. Or they just release a new version of the character. Alter version is a popular and easy way to release new characters that are guarenteed to generate revenue. Point is they're both good now, will get better with newer supports and then eventually fall off as they get powercrept. Luckily they're popular characters so they're going to get more than other characters.

[@Yukata_GG]

I like that one YT chat that said: Arlan is Better

[@JohnDoe-si4eg]

For anyone complaining abt MoC buff I’ll leave behind some quick math answers. FF’s base attack with Sig is about 1000. 2 trotters are killed. Her attack conversion doesn’t appear in the stat sheet along with the planer buff. And HMC will add some of the buff back to her. Assuming HMC is not running kaplanagi (it only adds 6%BE), then with all buffs active Pokke’s BE is 472.11. With MoC it’s 565.11%. A 19.7% boost. (FF can’t convert RM e2) Acheron’s total boost will be 10.2% (RM’s attack boost is included). Pokke’s clearly running elem orb. Using those values you can determine who would have won without any buffs. I’m not going to do it, and will instead leave it as an exercise for the reader.

Why use Kafka of all the Nihility units, she offers absolutely fuck all for Acheron even a Pela would be better. Like this is the worst possible scenario for Acheron.

[@IdeasAreBulletproof]

Pela is BIS for Acheron currently. That and if Sparkle was put in place of Ruan Mei, he would have easily had a decent amount of AV to spare on his Acheron when Zero cycling, & Unironically in her Worst case scneario, E6S5 Acheron in her Worst case scneario is basically = to E6S5 Firefly in her best case scneario.

[@deejnutz2068]

@@IdeasAreBulletproof Even if this is true, the marginal extra damage Acheron provides get's completely swamped by the FF team since Ghallager is basically a DPS. The Acheron Hyper carry team is significantly less damage than the DOT Acheron team, but even then that team can't keep up with break teams overall damage unless they run no sustain, and even then they fall short. Whereas super break team comp has sustain and more overall damage, + the sustain from delaying actions.

fact : best way to watch Mr Pokke 's video , 2x speed

[@dstroyar5426]

You can honestly probably 0 cycle this SAM if you don't start combat with Firefly technique since it kills trotter, and wait for SAM to enter combustion state, break trotter, break searing prowler for extra turns. You just have to really work around the mechanics to get to the super break point, so yes she does take L in that sense, but she does 600k damage EASILY every turn with at least 210 speed to blitz them down

[@HSRFirefly]

KZbin chat, let's be honest, even if one is better than the other at E6, 99% of u guys won't have those E6s5. Not saying it invalidates any speculations u can have but as someone who has E6s5 Jingliu and Firefly, at the very least I know the experience is pretty much overkill anyways. Even E0 FF is already too much from my experience

[@JohnDoe-si4eg]

V true. But tell me how FF performed better and they still picked Acheron. I don’t think the test was good tbh. Should have had either wolf or pela + sparkle with Acheron, but still.

[@TheRiddle_]

Thanks for offsetting the cost for many F2P people.

[@kikopikac2806]

@@JohnDoe-si4eg the moc buff is also extremely good for ff so I imagine that was taken to account. Tbh if they just replaced rm with sparkle, Acheron would already clear so much faster

[@JohnDoe-si4eg]

@@kikopikac2806 I didn’t post it here, but I calculated how much the trotter buff benefited both units. FF was 19.7% and Acheron was 10.2% or so. You can use those numbers to see how they would change the AV clear amount. I didn’t want to do that last part, but it should be pretty easy to figure out by looking at how much of the hp bar is left per attack. As the trotter in wave 2 dies instantly both will have max stacks for the only wave that matters, and both equally benefit from the AV advancement. What’d you do to calculate the damage each would do without the trotter buff is take the hp% before the attack and subtract the hp done after the attack and divide that number by the buff % I mentioned in p1 (make sure to use decimals properly, so when doing division by 19.7% you’ll do it by 1.197 [the one is bc the values were increased by that %]). And see if any unit would need additional attacks to deplete the bar. If neither would need additional actions then both benefitted equally. Else 1 benefitted more than the other. While I probably won’t do it my intuition tells me it doesn’t make a difference in FF’s case. The dps done on wave 2 first health bar should still be enough to kill in two SBE procs and the 1 shot with the second bar happens even without the buff (I used homdgcat for hp values). In other words even without the BE and AtK% FF will clear in exactly the same way. It makes sense that it wouldn’t make a difference when you consider the amount of BE Pokke already has. You can feel free to check Acheron’s side. Intuition tells me she may fail at the very end bc skill + kafka ult using the buff. So that’s what I’d start with.

[@Reialine]

Fellow E6S5 JL and FF enjoyer! I agree with you, I'm on the school of I want characters I like getting strong, firefly doesn't benefit much from the LCs once she's E6 but it's all about wanting to make your favourite characters the best. My entire roster is lacking outside the others but they do more than enough to deal, even when the mechanics are not around. I was thinking next one im going for will be the monoquantum team, starting with Seele, SW and Sparkle evenly until I get them all E6S5 as they get revived slowly.

9:03 is the only valid argument I've ever actually heard on archeron vs FF. Acheron is more future proof because she doesn't get countered by anything, whereas FF is as good as dps Natasha if the enemy is weakness break immune, EG the samurai robot and trotters. Everything else is either the same as FF like 8:35 or a dumb point like Variety which doesnt matter since FF doesn't share her supports. They are the same. Archeron is hot I get it but they are of equal power simps.

For now Archeron is slightly better regarding her flexibility in team comps and with different kinds of enemies. But let's be real. Sam and Trotters have a break lock that is actually hard to deal with for Firefly. All others,, especially with E2 or higher, are super easy to deal with. And calc wise, from what I've seen Firefly has the much higher ceiling than Archeron in 1-3 target situations, with Archeron only pulling ahead in hypothetical 4-5 beefy target situations.

[@Steven-nz8fk]

It's definitely way worse for Firefly, acheron has it easy with how good Kafka and herself at E6 get stacks

[@_Gabimaru]

Ff can’t break as fast without gallagher and as well loses out on some BE and the moc buff favours Acheron too since she gets free stacks from the trotters and as we saw she got saved at the end. You could completely remove the moc buff and these 2 exact same runs would’ve been a 0 cycle for ff and 1 for Acheron. People will cope about enemies with no toughness bar but the only one that’s a problem are the trotters in certain modes since she breaks too fast for the rest to do anything. Ff requires less investment,consistent damage without relying on crit stats and cheaper units while at the same time doing more damage and taking more turns, it isn’t really comparable

[@JohnDoe-si4eg]

@@HSRFirefly it’s really annoying to hear people call out the MoC buff when they probably don’t even know what it actually does. The trotter is the real buff and you can see Acheron killing it in every single showcase. The extra 42% BE is NOT going to carry FF’s damage. In a 0-cycle it’s at most 84%. It’s good for compensating for shit builds, but in most cases it’s going to be 15% or less dps boost. Especially, in Mr Pokke’s case. Ofc Acheron also gets a 30% atk boost which is actually really good bc she has one of the highest base attacks in game w/sig. Not to mention she will always proc the trotter. I’ve seen some showcases where they don’t break the trotter with FF.

the glazing is real for both sides E6 Acheron is better (of course, her E4 and E6 aren't dogshit) but E2 Firefly is better and 99.9% of players will never get either, at best you'll go E2 so FF has advantage there imo even after Jiaoqiu and if Acheron keeps getting buffs. Firefly still has the benefit of not needing any investment whatsoever (literally just give her mainstats and you're done), her best support is free (HMC), her second best support is the universal RM which everyone should get anyway so its extreme value there, and then Gallagher was also free TWICE, plus ur gonna get him if ur pulling FF banner. Light cone is also irrelevant, just go with the free Herta shop one. So overall, FF major win IMO Acheron is harder to build, might need LC unless you got lucky with gnsw copies, is now forcing everyone to pull for another limited > Jiaoqiu (hopefully he's somewhat universal like Pela). Other than that she is still obviously great. and ok, to be fair.. FF is also gonna "force" ppl to pull 5* gallagher when that unit releases, maybe! Acheron has an actual requirement to use nihility units so its more pressure to get Jiaoqiu compared to swapping Gallagher for a 5*. But we all want what's best for our dps so if the new sustain is a huge upgrade then that's harder to skip and u can then argue FF team is less free, but at the same time it will also mean the team gains a tiny bit of flexibility cause u can swap 1 unit around (insane) holy yapping

E2 Firefly > E2 Acheron, E6 Acheron = E6 Firefly. With that being said, Acheron is the better choice in general, just because as broken as superbreak is, once hoyo introduces more toughness bar-lock enemies, Firefly can't do anything. While your traditional crit-DPS like Acheron will still be able to deal dmg. Nevertheless, both of them are the best DPS to invest.

[@nooone1387]

THeres a high chance they introduce debuff lock and they make it so acheron gets her ult like every 4 turns

@@simonditomasso9868 i’ll give e0s0 to Firefly and e0s1 to Acheron. Firefly’s LC is okay but not as “game changing” as Acheron’s.

[@WhoStoleMyNachos]

Firefly is way easier to build mainly only needing spd and break effect and not god tier crit relics, her BiS team comp is a lot easier given everyone gets HTB for free and gallagher is a 4*, and RM is one of the highest pull value units in the game so pulling RM for firely isn't useless for other team comps, and her LC options for f2p are much better given she actually has a good f2p option in a fall of an aeon. Acheron has more consistent damage because she doesn't need to break enemies, will generally perform better in most content with high investment, and doesn't have the weakness of being useless against enemies with a locked toughness bar. They're both absurdly strong and deserving of T0, and there are pros and cons to each.

[@astralfoxo]

Acheron also can hit everything on screen, Firefly wont. And I don't think Firefly is very f2p friendly for new players at all. You need to roll for Ruan Mei if you want her to do well. At least for now Firefly have by far stronger team for buffing her dmg (Ruan Mei is the real beast here xD), but it really has no flexibility in it. Which is what I dont like personally, because I need Ruan for my dot team xD

[@WhoStoleMyNachos]

@@astralfoxo Acheron needs multiple other 5 stars for her best in slot teams whether you’re running her hypercarry or with a dot team, whereas firefly JUST needs you to pull Ruan mei for her full potential, who everyone should pull for ruan mei anyways because she’s the most all purpose support in the game, everyone else is given to you for free. It’s absolutely a lot more f2p friendly

[@astralfoxo]

@@WhoStoleMyNachos You just need pela and Gui. For sustain Gallager. Where is your "multiple" 5stars???

[@WhoStoleMyNachos]

@@astralfoxo guinafen and gallagher are not in any of acherons best teams, you either run kafka swan, sparkle hypercarry if you have E2, or sw pela, and all of her teams that have sustains prefer fu xuan or aventurine because gallagher does nothing for the comp other than 1 debuff. You need Fu Xuan / Aventurine (1 5 star) for your BiS sustain, SW for your BiS all-purpose acheron team, (1 5 star) Sparkle for hypercarry, (1 5 star) or kafka swan (2 5 stars) to get the most out of acheron teams and to run all her BiS teams for various situations, you need 5 total 5 stars. For Firefly teams, you just need HTB RM and Gallagher and you can use that for all content.

[@astralfoxo]

​@@WhoStoleMyNachos Uhm... No? She has the flexibility to use team like that, but it is not popular team. BS and Kafka are better in their own team. Acherons best in slot currently is Pela. Silver fills the role too or can be the second nihility. Any sustain will do, Aventurine, Fu Xuan, Gallagher. Gallagher is used with Acheron because he gives her ult stacks. You can play Acheron with only 4star and do VERY well. Firefly preforms far worse without Ruan. On other hand Acheron without Aventurine will still do damn good (You just lose a bit of crit dmg). Also my point at the beginning was Firefly and Ruan banners are up right now. You want new f2p people to just roll and win on both?

So we just gonna ignore the fact that firefly only required 1 limited 5 star teammate compared to acheron (and every other DPS) who requires at least 2 to get anywhere near her performance? OK. Edit: Yall saying about the turbulence need to realise that the buff is very strong for every team comp, just slightly more for firefly and boothill. Every other DPS also heavily benefits from 100% action advance, especially Acheron since she can quickly get her ult back up. Name me ANY team comp that doesnt heavily benefit from 100% action advance, I'll wait.

Some people argue that kafka gives more stacks, but i think you will have just enough damage to ult one time less if you bring sparkle + Pela

[@JohnDoe-si4eg]

I agree, but the MoC doesn’t favor FF nearly as much as you guys think (excluding weakness). In a 0-cycle scenario FF’s only getting an 84% BE boost. As you build gets better (S5 LC) that BE does less and less bc it’s the only stat you can grind, therefore facing the steepest diminishing returns. The trotter is the real buff and both units greatly benefit from it.

[@christophermauro-barias7451]

[@IdeasAreBulletproof]

E6 Firefly basically gets her Best case Scneario & the MOC wildly favoring her, while E6 Acheron gets no where close to her Best case Scneario & the MOC buff doesn't benefit her much. Like Kafka and Ruan Mei are easily Inferior to a Pela/Sparkle in a E6 Acheron comp and they both cleared in Zero cycles (Which is basically braindead obviously easy thing to do for an E6 DPS). It might not be like Jingliu's E6 vs DHIL's E6 but I would easily say, E6S5 Acheron =/> E6S5 Firefly.

[@HSRFirefly]

[@raideneiarya2188]

​​@@HSRFireflyAcheron gets extra turn and +15% atk per trotter. Firefly gets extra turn, 15% atk and 30% break effect per trotter. It benefits Acheron for sure, but it benefits FF wayyy more. And this boss is her best case scenario. Also, Kafka was deadweight for Acheron. If Acheron gets her best case: Pela + Sparkle she ones shots both hp bars with on ult - with or without weakness break.

[@JohnDoe-si4eg]

@@raideneiarya2188 not wayyy more. The BE buff isn’t that much, especially in Mr Pokke’s case where he has a shit ton of BE. Bc he made his builds public we can directly calculate how much of a dps boost each build got from the trotter. Firstly, FF’s attack conversion effect does take effect until combat, so it doesn’t appear in the stat sheet. Secondly, base attack with sig is about 1000 making all attack conversions after 1800 really easy to calculate. It’s unknown if HMC is running Kalpanagi (it also will not appear on the stat sheet) or not, but it would only add an extra 6% BE so I’ll leave it off. Doing so we can find that with both RM and HMC on the team FF’s total BE is 472.11 with all buffs active, including watchmaker (it’s pretty easy to keep it up perma bc e2 doesn’t burn through buffs). With the MoC buff (2 trotters) we gain 93% BE (HMC’s conversion is included) bringing the total to 565.11 about a 19.7% boost per break. Now looking at Acheron his total attack is 3372. It does not have out of combat buffs sans MoC (and RM’s ult [btw FF can’t convert this]). Skipping the boring stuff her dps will be boosted by 10.2% (RM’s ult buff included. Likewise, her respen + Acheron takes care of the off element factor. Probs why he chose her tbh). Now that we know how much the MoC buff helped both characters we can go ahead and watch the run and see what difference it would have made. I’m tired so I’ll leave that as an exercise to the reader. But I’ll also add that neutral calcs with FF and Acheron against 1 elite and 1 boss had FF winning (all on element). Even with JQ (his LC not included).
