Topic: Wuthering Waves

@themightyant Haha nicely done mate!
ToA is next on my list to complete.

@themightyant Haha the tower has finally been conquered. Nice one dude.
A platinum reward too? Did you get the same feeling of accomplishment as with MoC in HSR? I remember our early days when 11&12 were pure bull lol.
I read they will be adding the skip function too. I guess they noticed the player numbers dropping for the story. I still haven't bothered to do it yet either. Dedicating 8 hrs to boredom and rapid fire button mashing is not what I want in this heat.

@z0d15g0d I actually got far more satisfaction from 100% ToA than MoC, or Spiral Abyss in Genshin. I think the reasons are three fold:

1) It's was much harder for me to 100% ToA than MoC, especially as F2P. That's because WuWa is far more skill based, whereas with the right team, and the right monthly debuff I 36 starred MoC in HSR using auto-battle a couple of times.

2) Additionally for all the good WuWu does with generosity it's also more Pay 2 Win in the end-game with larger multipliers on Signatures and character copies. These as well as having the best teams, make a bigger difference than in HSR imo, though all these games are guilty of it.

3) There's a PlayStation Platinum trophy behind it. I actually think this is pretty dirty, because the game is so Pay 2 Win in end game this shouldn't really be a trophy, but it did light a fire under me to do it. (I see the Plat is earned by less than 1% of players, so i'm happy with that).

Now i've done it once it's unlikely I will care much about 100% ToA in future, I had to do several runs to get 100%, and my time is more precious. I'll probably settle for 24 or 27 stars (where the other reward breakpoints are) depending on how hard I find each iteration. You only lose out on like half a wish a month, it's not that important imo.

What I can't quite figure out is Cartethyia's rotations to maximise her Final Ult damage. I realise the optimal combo is slightly different to if you don't have Ciaccona as you have to more purposefully keep Aero Erosion stacks on the enemy without her.

I've noticed that my final hit (that multiples by Aero Stacks) does anything from 8k damage per hit to 35k damage per hit (x5). Looking online with Ciaccona people are doing 50k+ (x5) per hit. (Edit: plus the 100k - 300k+ nuke)

I find it's a bit hard to see the Aero Erosions stacks and I need to figure out the rotation to try and maximise that more often, otherwise it feels like a big whiff, all flashy but not huge damage.
