I think you really underrated the BP Erudition LC. Like, it's basically just a slightly worse but more universal version of Argenti's signature. To the point where, at S5, it's only 4% worse. It's also one of Jade's best LCs. And for both of these characters, if you're only looking at 4-star options, it's actually just their best LC, full-stop. It, at the very least, deserves a B-Tier. Honestly, I'd rank it higher than Argenti's LC just because it doesn't only buff ultimate damage.
And cogs too, omg he so underrated cogs, you can ask anyone if they have used cogs in their accounts and 99% of people will say yes, try to ask the same for fine fruit or multiplication and see what happens, cogs is that universal that when you dont sig, a good 4 star or dont need dance dance you default to it, that LC should be at least A, it work for everyone, does not need any dups since you will get it max, theres no complications you just get energy, i dont understand how it was put so low.
@@Zergling.yea for my dhil tingyn's ult more important than action advance so I run her with cogs not with DDD. For me you only need ddd in pure fiction
I'd put Feixiao's below Ratio's because Ratio's is just way more universal since it provides so many more stats, while Feixiao's is all-in on ult damage which is great for her but pretty much useless for everyone else. You can use Ratio's LC on Feixiao and you don't lose much from her sig, but using Feixiao's on Ratio is a huge damage drop.
Honestly agree, Feixiao's lc is just too niche in comparison. Like on Feixiao herself, it is marginally better and will scale better with more defense break, but I just don't see it being a good alternative to any future hunt unit unless they get pretty much the same kit as her, having frequent FUA to proc it twice while having their ultimate be most of their dm. However, that's too similar to Feixiao currently so they probably won't release a character like that or else that character will either straight up powercreep Feixiao or be straight up overshadowed by her. In our current hunt roster literally only Feixiao can benefit from it fully too. Other FUA hunt unit does not do the most dm from ultimate but rather from FUA (someone like topaz don't even have a damaging ult). Other hunt units that do good ultimate dm like yanqing (can never stack the def pen more than one stack and on an inconsistent 50 some percent FUA chance) or Seele (doesn't even do FUA). Ratio light cone will just likely age better with future FUA unit due to its more general nature and its debuff requirement should be easy for anyone with a well invested FUA team to meet anyway since you'll probably be playing them with topaz or moze.
@@michaelman90 agreed, feixiaos lc is a good “damage per screenshot” lightcone. If you run ratio sig over feixiao sig you lose some of that damage per screenshot (and lets be honest, its usually gunna be overkill damage) but in exchange you get so much more damage from everything that isnt her ult.
Hard disagree. You primarily get a signature for the character it's for. Fei's LC gains more headway over Ratio's if there is any other source of defense shred and sometimes it does come up. Feixiao is a lot more flexible than many people realize currently. You plug her into break teams, DoT teams, all sorts of hybrid teams and gain DPS and toughness break utility from her, and having her S1 increases her value in comps that have defense shred sources. And, if you look at Raito's LC on Ratio, it's only 12% worse than Stellar or S5 Silence remains if you are able to maintain the full LC buff, which you probably will be able to do. By comparison on Fei, her alternatives that are F2P are pretty bad on her. Compared to Stellar, there is a 22.51% difference with no other defense pierce sources. So, I'd put her LC above Ratio's for those reasons. If another Hunt DPS comes out in a year that I also like, I'm just going to get their LC most likely rather than reuse a subpar LC multiple times. Of which, in the future, I'm more likely to use Fei than Ratio anyways as her kit scales with any sort of attack spam in a rotation, so it just makes more sense to optimize her. It would be a very bad move to skip Fei's LC and wait for Ratio's to use on her when you'll be forced to use horrible LCs on her till then and end up with less damage than if you just got her signature.
Really weird Tierlist. On one Hand he considered the Usage outside of the specific Character but in the Same Moment he put Acherons S1 on SSS Tier? This Lightcone is literally useless on ANY Nihility Character aside of Acheron himself.
Tbf you can use it on nihil dps since it is welt's best option if you aren't using it on welt. It's not necessarily because Acheron's LC is bad it's more like there isn't another nihil unit other than her and welt to use it. So it's an issue of the nihil units v.s the LC itself.
sp regen of Ruan Mei LC can be make or break in some teams and no other LC offers it at the same frequency. by his metrics it should be SSS if you dont rate it purely in a break team
It’s not better than ddd. You can advance your team and back attack to regenerate sp and energy, I would say it’s high A not even s. I play pvp and no one ever uses this lc. Popular are robin’s, ddd, MoP, bronya, hell even sparkles lc are more used.
@@QMS9224 i didnt say it was better than DDD i said it offered something that no other other light cone does. No amount of stat investment will create the energy or skill points it provides. you can get the damage gains of the other light cone through better relics but nothing you can roll on a character will create SP or energy from thin air. the reason you see other LC more often is cause her LC is restricted to break support cause to get the most important part of its buffs you need to reach a certain amount of break effect that no other support does besides HMC.
it essentially just boils down to the other LC's being weaker but more generalist and hers being strong but restrictive but in a tier list mostly taking into account how well Sigs perform on their respective 5* hers is deff SSS
@@QMS9224How does DDD fit into this topic? Unless you speed tune to make certain units advance over the others, the turn orders doesn't change. So if your DPS turn is coming and you're low on SP, using DDD doesn't help aside from making your turns happen earlier. It is no different than managing your SP economy with or without it.
i do really think a lot of lcs on this got majorly undervalued, at least if you aren’t a whale. past and future on low d is crazy. and like. i still run passkey serval 🤷 she’s built for pf ult spam. and she does it!
Hard agree, past and future should be at least B tier when it's one of bronya/sparkles best f2p options. It may be less valuable than DDD for low cycle clears but it's far from a useless lc
@@niigolover as fast as possible + passkey + err rope. set doesn’t matter that much but i have her on 4pc band and 2pc glamoth just for dmg. with decent-ish hit rng she almost always gets 2 turn ults. again, its not “optimal” by any means but pf pretty often has buffs that favor ult frequency, and that’s all she’s for
Herta’s lc is not that bad. Potential 80% fua dmg if they are low health at s5 this can slap on a slow himeko if you are breaking a lot and triggering her talent Edit* it’s actually 96%
Multiplication is in most scenarios BiS for Luocha. Unlike shitty abundance units, he’s never in danger of dying except in situations where he can get 100-0 which is very very rare. He doesn’t need base stats to do his job.
Trend in A because it has A single use in A single team, the teamcomp u use it in is good, the lightcone in itself is NOT, for sure at max a low B. Also why meshing cogs so low when every single harmony can effectively use it?
FF Lightcone - 17% DPS increase over Aeon, mid A tier. DHIL Lightcone - 7% DPS increase over Aeon, easy S and briefly SSS. The FF backlash because she's easy to use and people want to pretend this is a high skill cap e-sport instead of a story-based waifu/husbando collector is really getting a bit much.
@@invin_2940 The thing is even being for meta what the OG comment said still applies, 17% is bigger than 7% in my world. About FF backlash is just people being salty or going for drama in my view, i dont know why people hate a character doing damage, is because boothil is not talked more? thats not even true boothil has been talked alot and used alot so this is getting dumb, if prydewn ever puts FF in 0.5 tier i bet all this youtubers and people will trow parties. (if they put boothil in 0 tier i dont care really).
@@Zergling. exactly, I was agreeing with him. I'm literally a really big metaslave myself, but that's only because I play competitive PVP games that requires you to be a meta slave, but this game? dude come on this game is literally a chill casual for fun PVE game AND it is easy as hell. There is no way you gonna be a metaslave in a game like this, that's just stupid.
@@Doflaminguard FUA is like more than half of Herta's damage and you're buffing it by over 90% at S5. For Herta specifically, nothing even comes close. Cope take.
That Herta signature only good for Herta alone for once activation which is kinda meh, for other FuA unit, they can trigger second passive as many times as long enemies below 50%
@@Frarharn without buffing her skill and Ult, you arent getting much from Herta LC. It is you who is coping using that bad LC instead of Breakfast or Cosmos.
As a low spender/f2p, after pulling only characters since launch you are so low on light cones so I think it's definitely worth it to throw some pulls into light cones even just for the 4 stars.
it still better to roll for characters, getting new characters guarantees that you complete current content and said new characters could powercrep previous characters even with signature so what's even the point.
I only pulled on the lightcone banner once. I still have enough lightcones for characters. Maybe you just underrate MoC lightcones that much they're so good tbh
@@Doflaminguard Not everyone has Himeko LC. Breakfast and Cosmos are not as good in terms of uptime. Herta Eru LC is currently the best F2P option out there.
@@Doflaminguard If we take Pure Fiction into account, the only 4 star LC that is better than the Herta store one is Geniuse's Repose. The Herta store one is on par with JY's own limited LC for a lot of erudition units, massively underrated.
The title and the thumb was very ambiguous about what the content was about. If it is a Tier List of LC's only. Meshing Cogs, The Hunt and Multiplication were very underrated. But if it's just a list of "what to pull" is more worth it, then all 4* with excess Shines are way above their due. Another thing to consider, this list was definitely made with LC S5. Which is much more, as many, if not 90% of Day One players, still don't have many 4* LCs, not even S1. Firstly, the vast majority don't pull weapon banners and secondly, when they pull them, they don't have the cones we need. So in the end, this list is for 5* and for 4 and 3*, it's just to say "don't use these as food"?!
flash news for you buddy, not everything is made for everyone. There are millions of people playing this game, are you gonna make a tierlist for each and every individual?
Putting acherons lc in SS and yunlis in S is genuinely insane. In some scenarios her lc is a OVER a 40 percent dps increase and allows you to run huohuo instead of lynx without much issue??
JY LC is definitely not much worse, even if jade's lc can be in scenarios. But from what I've seen from this dude and his chat they LOVE to clown on JY so makes sense
considering the fact that you cast jade's skill once and then its completely disabled for a while, you'll definitely be using her basic attack pretty often...
@@Griggle25652 but this is also being considered generically. Would you run this sig on jing yuan and argenti? Not really, for argenti and jing yuan, unless you can fit basic attacks in your rotation
A bunch of the gacha 4* lightcones vary in performance depending on their superimposition. For instance, putting Welt's LC in F tier is crazy to me since it's better than "Goodnight Sleep Well" and it's better than Acheron's 4* dancing lightcone when they're all at S1, which is the situation my Acheron is in where she has to run Welt's LC because the gacha 4* options are at S1 and perform worse.
You did a lot of "this LC got powercrept so its going very low"... which is just wrong. Lets take Black Swan for example. Sure...Foxboi LC is a team DMG increase but that does not mean the signature is worse all of the sudden. It works the same as before...you treat it like it got worse because better alternatives exist.
@@trivia_dex It's only good on her and for other harmony supports rm lightcone is better due to longer buffs. 24% dmg boost for 1 turn and 48% atk plus 15% energy regen - usually 9% on average for other units. Not only is ruanmei's lightcone better for herself as a dmg boost with 34% dmg boost a skill point 10 er to the whole team each wave and not her with 60 break effect. But ruanmei's lightcone is so much more versatile on units such as sparkle, hmc, asta, and any unit that has 3 turn ults due to the permanent buff and on units such has hanya building bf at e6 is worht it to trade the er rope or for charas such as asta.
He can, but the buffs from it still aren’t good enough to make it better than something like boat or swordplay. To give a specific example, the pistol from 2016’s Doom is nice because it has infinite ammo, but the damage is still shit
Appreciate the RM slander hahah, but still a lot of people have her and her impact for them is very noticeable so it still should be top. Yes dmg% is useless but it still enables a new player to have the most value
If I had to say which takes of Mr.Pokke are most questionable, it would probably be his LC takes, but it's in part because of how box dependent LCs can be. Anyone watching this, take this video with a few grains of salt. My advice is when determining if a LC is valuable to you, don't look at a tierlist at all. Just do an analysis of what the LC will be doing for you for the purpose you have in mind for it. MrPokke is not going to be able to accurately assess what you can do with a particular LC in a way that will be useful for all players. E.g. I just used Carve the Moon S5 to get a 3901 clear on node 1 of current Apoc with a Jingliu team. You could do the same thing with Ruan Mei's LC. Being able to manipulate energy of the team can be incredibly useful in letting your team get going right away and reach energy breakpoints to save yourself a cycle or get higher AV scores in Apoc. Ruan Mei's LC also can double as a skill point resource for heavy skill use comps. Utility effects like this can be very valuable if you actually know what you are doing with your rotation planning. MrPokke should know better but I think he's been out of TC and speedrunning (and overly relying on whaled out units) a bit too long to be aware of how valuable some of these options actually can be.
Outside of limited 5* lightcones, Erudition's choices are just sad. Besides Himeko's and Herta 5* LC that you can get "F2P", the 2 MoC lightcones Seriousness of Breakfast (actually don't know why this is rated so low F tier, since this is the like relatively useful outside of Pure Fiction) and Day The Cosmos Fell (which is Element dependent/restricted to trigger 2nd effect) are like the best picks for the worst case scenario. Also, W tierlist.
Geniuses' Repose literally exists and is one of the best 4* DPS Lightcones. Today Is Another Peaceful Day (Battle Pass LC) S5 competes with Limited 5* LCs damage-wise, especially on Argenti/Qingque. The Day The Cosmos Fell is also not restricted because generally you're going to match your DPS to elemental weaknesses. That aside Jing Yuan Lightcone is good on basically every Erudition character (except Rappa who is coming out, or if you're doing Superbreak Himeko) and a good account investment if you like Erudition characters.
@@hallyuniverse Yes I agree with you on most of your points, but I said that this is for the worst case scenario and for a perspective of F2P / how available they are. Sad isn't it? I'm assuming S5 Breakfast and S5 Cosmos vs a gacha 4* LC that you don't have or is not probably S5, you would probably better go for those choices I mentioned. And for the Cosmos LC, you literally said the restriction. I personally would go for Cosmos LC for any Erudition char if the* enemies have their respective weakness on them. But would you wait a MoC, or Pure Fiction just to use your Cosmos on your only built Erudition character like QQ or something like that (unless you have every Erudition character).
@@jdrm3710 it's not a real restriction though, because Erudition is comprised of DPS characters, and you want to match your DPS to the enemy's elemental weaknesses in most situations (especially in MoC or AS). It's one of the better craftable LCs and is better than Geniuses' Repose (which is very strong) vs Elite enemies if there's no smaller enemies to kill. Nihility is the real Path lacking in F2P LCs, luckily Herta shop is getting Event LCs next patch so Tutorial Mission will be available for everyone.
This tierlidt is anything but W tbh. Welt LC is rated criminally low when at S1 its pretty close to a high superimposed GNSW, butched the BP lcs and put acheron’s LC as top tier when she is the only one who can use it. It is literally more niche than feixiao Lc this list hurt my brain tbh

That yanqing 4 star LC, any hunt unit with Aventurine can use that.. Not to mention Moze can use that LC without worrying have to get hit, because of his departed state And that 5 star Yanqing LC, is only usable by Yanqing himself.. Cuz IF you do build Yanqing, you only ever go for ± 30% Crit Rate.. Because he gets 60% from ult, and 10-20% from soulsync state.. So without his ult crit rate, he rarely crits.. He actually fills his crit rate downtime with this LC..
I think people generally have too much tunnel vision regarding 5 star Yanqing's passive. It's more fair to just forget that passive even exists and respect the stat stick. It's literally free, unconditional crit value. There will be situations when someone will want to use more than 1 hunt unit in their MOC/APOC and then it will serve as an excellent secondary to a Herta LC assuming you either don't have high refine swordplay or happen to use more than 2 hunt units in your comps. That's the use case.
resolution being better then jiaoqius lc is insane considering how jqs lc is literally just resolution but better. Aventurines sig is being extremely underrated. Its literally s5 gepard sig, the moc f2p aventurine damage lc, and trend with an actually useful effect all wrapped up into one. Absolutely diabolical. Jades sig is being extremely overrated, big “uunga buunga def ignore=good” going on here. Its good on her and maybe qingque but nobody else. Yunlis sig is being underrated. Sig vs fall of an aeon is like night and day. Im pretty sure its also calculated as one of the biggest jumps between f2p and sig. Aeon is good generically but yunli sig is insane.
crazy how much value you see in light cones based on your budget. As a $5 per month player I'd rate a lot of the signature ones lower. I only get signature light cones for my top performing DPS, that don't have great alternatives, like Acheron, Jingliu (back in the day, well she's still fine) and Dr. Ratio (sorry Ratio this one is Feixiao's now). Some of the better performing 4* ones would get a bump up instead.
I think I've got two real opinions on this list. I would've taken a lot of the better f2p cones and pushed them up a tier or two. Not all of them, but like the non-destruction manifest shop LCs for example are all very capable for the fact that you're guaranteed at least one copy and the currency needed to buy remaining copies is pretty easy to get. Same with Meshing Cogs and Multiplication. I don't think it should push any of them into S tier, but the fact that a newer player can pretty easily get a hold of them and safely invest in so many of them, provided they have a character to use them on, is pretty good. Pure Fiction is also a real gamemode, and I feel the Erudition cone ratings fail to take it into account. Like everybody has Herta and Herta really likes if a teammate can help trigger her follow ups, which means a lot of people want at least 2 Erudition cones. Given PF having 2 sides, Himeko's desire for weakness breaks, and Jade's want of a debt collector, I don't think it's impossible for somebody to be running 2-4 erudition characters in PF, and not everybody is going to have signature cones for all of them. Calculus, Cosmos, and to a lesser extent Breakfast all do a good job plugging those holes.
@@kaiky_3821 firefly increases her break effect stats rappa increases the break damage enemies take they both scale off atk, though rappa is capped off at 3200 atk
Dont understand this Tier list. Sometimes it matters that many characters can use it and sometimes it just falls away, which seems pretty bad of a way too rank things imo and sometimes he is just biased
Multiplication is absolutely awesome on Gallagher. And the faster he is already, the bigger the effect of it to make him hit and ult more often and thus break and superbreak free heal and generate skillpoints more often. In my calculations it's clearly his best in slot, as long as you can manage him not getting 1-shot and that also shouldn't be too hard, as he only needs speed and some break effect and otherwise can be built freely with enough HP and DEF percent.
On Firefly, On The Fall Of An Aeon is SSS for sure, as she is the one Destruction character that can implant weakness, so she can ALWAYS benefit from the Light Cone's full effect. Not to mention her speed is gigabuffed by her Ult, so she attacks super often and reaches max stacks super fast.
when you have LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE you too will start glazing the shi out of it, 3/6 of my destruction dpses fight for it every single day, why do i have 3? poor pulling choices
@@A.Singularity FRFR my Clara, Jingliu and Firefly literally fighting for their life right now. If hoyo releases more destruction characters that need this lc it's joever for us f2ps.
The problem with Weighting destruction signatures based on Fall of an Aeon too heavily means in MOC/Pure Fiction/Apocalyptic Shadows you can NEVER run two destruction DPS if you don't have one of their signature light cones. This is not as much of an issue with GNSW because its unlikely you use two units within the same run with this light cone for most players. And for Harmony because you have multiple good 4 start light cones its not really an issue. But the idea of using multiple destruction DPS units is very realistic and you cannot use Fall of an Aeon on both of them in the same run.
34:20, DDD will always be valuable to any player in the game, it's not because you don't 0 cycle that it becomes useless. That's the total opposite. Within 1 cycle you can make use of it only 1, maybe twice at max (per character), but it really shines and shows a real difference when you used it like 5/6 times in a battle allowing you to play much more than if you had an other lc
Seele LC is good because it allows you to build speed without sacrificing damage, and every hunt unit wants speed. PS: also it’s a general light cone that any dps can use while the other hunt light cones are specific to their niches.
I think jiaoqiu lightcone should be over resolution ( def shred lc) its literally way better and has the stats nihilty characters want but if the 4 star lc is there for accessibility and not performance then its whatever
If it was solely about performance then sig would just be at the top over the 4* options… even at the very start of the video he took pulls for sigs into account with the Ruan Mei LC example… Nihility and Harmony LCs have enough competition that leaves them lower than dps sigs… and if someone is pulling a dps sig without the dps it was made for then that person needs help (this is mainly true for all the destruction character sigs, the hunt characters can use the other hunt sigs for the most part)
@@Sable813 you dont build enough ehr on guinaifen to reliably get the debuffs, and if you would she would end up doing no damage it could be ok i suppose in a dot team but im really not sure how you would end up in a situation where you have that cone and the only place you can use it in is in a dot team on guinaifen? acheron is another spot where it could be usable but again how would you be in a spot where you are running acheron with a guinaifen with a limited 5* cone? pela wants resolution, silver wolf wants tutorial, sampo and kafka fall in around the same spot as guinaifen its a very very good cone, but only 2 characters in the game can use it vs resolution who can actually be ran by everyone
@@silvia___ you use it on guinaifen with an ehr chest. She almost always lands the full debuff due to her e1 lowering enemy res. And yes I only use it for her on acheron teams. I use pela Guin acheron gepard as a team. It's a cheap low cost team (my acheron is e0s0) and guinaifen with this LC combined with pela gives a massive dmg amp to acheron.
I'm getting Acheron Lightcone on her rerun. Not only does it boost my CRIT DMG to 200%, it also allows me to clear more comfortably. Aye, 80/200 CRIT is good enough for me. I'm still waiting for that DDD to show up in the Limited Lightcone Banner...
it's funny that at the start of the game Fall of an Aeon is regarded as the worst Herta LC because it stacks so slow and breaking wasn't really that important fast-forward to over a year later and it's become the absolute best Herta LC because of how easy it is to kill non-boss mobs and breaking has become meta quite ironic since it has risen to the top while being named "FALL of an Aeon"
as always biased against Sparkle :D . A crit value of 48% + for all the team is considered by you at the same value as the March and Jingliu lightcone. I would have liked a little more impartiality .... but looks like... not today
1:30 Passkey let me solo MoC 10 with Serval back in the day, but only because of the super OP dissociation buff we had back then 😂 I don't know if it has had any use since then but I thought I'd mention it when you were talking about niche 3 star LCs.
tbh, ruan mei's signature is pretty bad on ruan mei, but it's actually really nice on HTB. trailblazer with e6 is already good enough to keep up their ult cycle and the extra energy as helps ruan mei hit her ult cycles as well. it also gives more break then MotP which is more helpful for HTB who has their own superbreak damage potential rather than ruan mei who's break basically becomes useless after a certain point.
Yeah, for E0 Firefly users, putting Ruan Mei's LC on HMC is a good strategy to solve the SP issue if the team, to the point that Firefly, HMC and even Ruan Mei can spam skills and still the team can manage their SP economy with Ruan Mei's LC and Gallagher But now it seems that people are using DDD and just try to rely on Ruan Mei and Gallagher, sometimes HMC as well, to generate SP with basics. That said, even if you choose to use DDD on HMC, Ruan Mei can still use her LC and I feel that it's still the best combination
all that and still not better than ddd. Also I'd rather get e1 firefly or e1 ruan mei if I already have e2 firefly (which is what I did) than getting this useless light cone.
It's not bad, it allows her 3 turn ult cycles and solve sp problems in boothill teams, xueyi teams, firefly teams, and also dot teams. It legt makes her the second best harmongy sp unit equal to hanya. (Sparkle sp is poo, 0.33 sp per turn is just bad).
Battle Pass Hunt Lightcone is a bit underrated. For low spender players who only buy the pass and battlepass and have 2 or more hunt characters they want to use, it's the only accessible CRIT lightcone other than Stellar. It's easier to get than Swordplay S5 that's for sure and makes building a lot easier too with the CR.
Multiplication is great on healers such as Luocha or Gallagher (although QPQ is way better on latter since he already prints way too much SP and ER is far better, especially since he is the only unit that can actually put QPQ to extremely good use due to turns cheating). Also, Acheron's cone is only for Acheron. I would personally never consider DPS lightcones that are glued to one DPS character as SSS. Because they are that as long as the DPS itself is considered SSS, and you already have Acheron running for her money. There is just nobody else that remotely wants that cone unless you are meme building certain units for the fun of it. It's just useless outside of Acheron. You could make argument that perhaps in the future we get more DPS crit Nihilities, but by then you would probably get their own cone that works way better for them, if not better for even Acheron herself (see Jade's cone or JQ's own cone). It just isn't something you must own unless you are serious about just Acheron.
If Seele and ratio/topaz’s LCs aren’t high up there I quit THEY WORK ON SO MANY HUNT UNITS. Add on: Hear me out: multiplication on Gallagher and Luocha.
I'm aiming for Adventurine E0S1. I found it curious that Gepard's LC was above Aventurine (I guess because it's F2P). I do have Gepard LC. Does Adventurine sig LC really make a difference or does it make no sense for me to go for it? (I plan to pair him mainly with Feixiao)
Depends. If you want more dmg+debuff, it is better than Gepard's LC. If you only want pure sustain, it can work as substitute, but Aventurine's LC still provides better def stat than Gepard's LC. The most profound impact it has is in Dr. Ratio teams or any teams that require debuffs. Anything other than that, you are good to go with Gepard's light cone.
I found it very important for the specific build I wanted for him, to surpass his 4k def threshold. It gives him a substantial def boost and mostly buffs his personal dmg as well as giving him a minor debuff on fua. If you like him I would get it, it's a very useful sustain lightcone. If you use acheron or Dr ratio, it makes him wayyy more useful for their comps.
The reason it’s such a competitive option for him is that it still gives a lot of defense, but it gives something that his sig doesn’t even give, massive taunt increase. Since aventurine gets more stacks when he is hit himself, it does help him get even more follow up attacks off. It’s not necessarily better, just different (it’s also available to buy in the shop if you really want or if you get in on the standard banner or something).
From what I've read, I think people do value E1+Gepard LC Aventurine over E0S1; the main exceptions being Ratio or Acheron teams that require debuffs. There's also a calc I saw before that Aventurine on a non-FuA team would prefer Gepard LC for the taunt so he can get more stacks in a comp that doesn't stack his talent well.
You should rate signature LC based on how useful they are to the intended unit, just give it some + points if its usable to other unit and another point besed on versatility. Best example is Acheron LC, its the best LC for her but mehhh to other nihility units. Unlike Bronyas where it is best for her and + points coz others can use it too.
Idk if anyone has already said it, but Return to darkness that low is such a whale take... The passive might be useless, but 24% crit rate at s5 make it a great stat stick if you have many hunt characters and none of their signatures considering that the only f2p LC that give unconditioned crit rate is Herta's and sadly I can't give it to both Topaz and Feixiao at the same time.
Fermata should be a bit higher in my opinion because while yes the ehrta lc is better in everyway, you can only have one, so when you have multiple characters that would want it fermata is a pretty good second choice
I only have two SIG LC Which are Topaz LC and Acheron LC. I'm trying to pull for Feixiao LC but I don't think I could make it. But having those two SIG LC really helps me a lot
Fu xuan's light cone placement made me die a little, maybe people just understimate how insanely broken the power of having max hp every single wave is, that lightcone alone break several of the healers single handedly 💀
really pokke. man acts like Ruan Mei is solely a break team support.

She kinda would be if we got an actual DoT support XD
@@JosepiThe13thyeah but HuoHuo energy regen tho

what's the LC that only one character ever uses?
@@strakyman boothil Adversary
Technically. It's trash on anyone else and only good if your trying to 0/1 cycle moc
I think you really underrated the BP Erudition LC. Like, it's basically just a slightly worse but more universal version of Argenti's signature. To the point where, at S5, it's only 4% worse. It's also one of Jade's best LCs. And for both of these characters, if you're only looking at 4-star options, it's actually just their best LC, full-stop. It, at the very least, deserves a B-Tier. Honestly, I'd rank it higher than Argenti's LC just because it doesn't only buff ultimate damage.
Yeah fair point, argentini lc just boost ult dmg spesifically while qq lc boost all dmg
And cogs too, omg he so underrated cogs, you can ask anyone if they have used cogs in their accounts and 99% of people will say yes, try to ask the same for fine fruit or multiplication and see what happens, cogs is that universal that when you dont sig, a good 4 star or dont need dance dance you default to it, that LC should be at least A, it work for everyone, does not need any dups since you will get it max, theres no complications you just get energy, i dont understand how it was put so low.
Id take the QQ BP light cone over the herta one. BP LC is just better
@@Zergling.yea for my dhil tingyn's ult more important than action advance so I run her with cogs not with DDD. For me you only need ddd in pure fiction
Is this better than the Bp one for Argenti? I have Argenti and i dont plan on ever pulling for his lc, so i thought his best one was the Bp one.
I'd put Feixiao's below Ratio's because Ratio's is just way more universal since it provides so many more stats, while Feixiao's is all-in on ult damage which is great for her but pretty much useless for everyone else. You can use Ratio's LC on Feixiao and you don't lose much from her sig, but using Feixiao's on Ratio is a huge damage drop.
By that criteria Acheron LC is dogshit, since it's useless for everyone else. Well maybe E2 Welt.
@@Mr.Hellerno? acheron's substitute falls off a big cliff while feixiao's substitute are pretty decent, use your brain.
Honestly agree, Feixiao's lc is just too niche in comparison. Like on Feixiao herself, it is marginally better and will scale better with more defense break, but I just don't see it being a good alternative to any future hunt unit unless they get pretty much the same kit as her, having frequent FUA to proc it twice while having their ultimate be most of their dm. However, that's too similar to Feixiao currently so they probably won't release a character like that or else that character will either straight up powercreep Feixiao or be straight up overshadowed by her. In our current hunt roster literally only Feixiao can benefit from it fully too. Other FUA hunt unit does not do the most dm from ultimate but rather from FUA (someone like topaz don't even have a damaging ult). Other hunt units that do good ultimate dm like yanqing (can never stack the def pen more than one stack and on an inconsistent 50 some percent FUA chance) or Seele (doesn't even do FUA). Ratio light cone will just likely age better with future FUA unit due to its more general nature and its debuff requirement should be easy for anyone with a well invested FUA team to meet anyway since you'll probably be playing them with topaz or moze.
@@michaelman90 agreed, feixiaos lc is a good “damage per screenshot” lightcone. If you run ratio sig over feixiao sig you lose some of that damage per screenshot (and lets be honest, its usually gunna be overkill damage) but in exchange you get so much more damage from everything that isnt her ult.
Hard disagree. You primarily get a signature for the character it's for. Fei's LC gains more headway over Ratio's if there is any other source of defense shred and sometimes it does come up. Feixiao is a lot more flexible than many people realize currently. You plug her into break teams, DoT teams, all sorts of hybrid teams and gain DPS and toughness break utility from her, and having her S1 increases her value in comps that have defense shred sources. And, if you look at Raito's LC on Ratio, it's only 12% worse than Stellar or S5 Silence remains if you are able to maintain the full LC buff, which you probably will be able to do.
By comparison on Fei, her alternatives that are F2P are pretty bad on her. Compared to Stellar, there is a 22.51% difference with no other defense pierce sources. So, I'd put her LC above Ratio's for those reasons. If another Hunt DPS comes out in a year that I also like, I'm just going to get their LC most likely rather than reuse a subpar LC multiple times. Of which, in the future, I'm more likely to use Fei than Ratio anyways as her kit scales with any sort of attack spam in a rotation, so it just makes more sense to optimize her. It would be a very bad move to skip Fei's LC and wait for Ratio's to use on her when you'll be forced to use horrible LCs on her till then and end up with less damage than if you just got her signature.
meshing cogs is placed too low for how broken it really is
yeah especially if you use it with Ruan mei
It's also very good for HMC if you have high BE. The Ulti effect lasts until the battle ends.

Really weird Tierlist. On one Hand he considered the Usage outside of the specific Character but in the Same Moment he put Acherons S1 on SSS Tier? This Lightcone is literally useless on ANY Nihility Character aside of Acheron himself.
Yeah, honestly Good Night and Sleep Well more universal than acheron lc if we talk about versatility on nihility dps 😅
I think acheron's lightcone deserves to be SSS just because of how ridiculous of a dmg increase it gives to acheron its like 45%
I got two on a 10 pull and put my spare one on Welt. It seems pretty solid for him.
Tbf you can use it on nihil dps since it is welt's best option if you aren't using it on welt.
It's not necessarily because Acheron's LC is bad it's more like there isn't another nihil unit other than her and welt to use it. So it's an issue of the nihil units v.s the LC itself.
ok and u're saying it's useful on acheron aka the most broken unit in the game? seems like what u hold to value is weird
sp regen of Ruan Mei LC can be make or break in some teams and no other LC offers it at the same frequency. by his metrics it should be SSS if you dont rate it purely in a break team
i didnt finish the video...
It’s not better than ddd. You can advance your team and back attack to regenerate sp and energy, I would say it’s high A not even s. I play pvp and no one ever uses this lc. Popular are robin’s, ddd, MoP, bronya, hell even sparkles lc are more used.
@@QMS9224 i didnt say it was better than DDD i said it offered something that no other other light cone does. No amount of stat investment will create the energy or skill points it provides. you can get the damage gains of the other light cone through better relics but nothing you can roll on a character will create SP or energy from thin air. the reason you see other LC more often is cause her LC is restricted to break support cause to get the most important part of its buffs you need to reach a certain amount of break effect that no other support does besides HMC.
it essentially just boils down to the other LC's being weaker but more generalist and hers being strong but restrictive but in a tier list mostly taking into account how well Sigs perform on their respective 5* hers is deff SSS
@@QMS9224How does DDD fit into this topic?
Unless you speed tune to make certain units advance over the others, the turn orders doesn't change. So if your DPS turn is coming and you're low on SP, using DDD doesn't help aside from making your turns happen earlier.
It is no different than managing your SP economy with or without it.
i do really think a lot of lcs on this got majorly undervalued, at least if you aren’t a whale. past and future on low d is crazy. and like. i still run passkey serval 🤷 she’s built for pf ult spam. and she does it!
Hard agree, past and future should be at least B tier when it's one of bronya/sparkles best f2p options. It may be less valuable than DDD for low cycle clears but it's far from a useless lc
What's your serval build? Passkey seems interesting
@@niigolover as fast as possible + passkey + err rope. set doesn’t matter that much but i have her on 4pc band and 2pc glamoth just for dmg. with decent-ish hit rng she almost always gets 2 turn ults. again, its not “optimal” by any means but pf pretty often has buffs that favor ult frequency, and that’s all she’s for

The title and the thumb was very ambiguous about what the content was about. If it is a Tier List of LC's only. Meshing Cogs, The Hunt and Multiplication were very underrated. But if it's just a list of "what to pull" is more worth it, then all 4* with excess Shines are way above their due. Another thing to consider, this list was definitely made with LC S5. Which is much more, as many, if not 90% of Day One players, still don't have many 4* LCs, not even S1. Firstly, the vast majority don't pull weapon banners and secondly, when they pull them, they don't have the cones we need.
So in the end, this list is for 5* and for 4 and 3*, it's just to say "don't use these as food"?!
Yes
flash news for you buddy, not everything is made for everyone. There are millions of people playing this game, are you gonna make a tierlist for each and every individual?
Putting acherons lc in SS and yunlis in S is genuinely insane. In some scenarios her lc is a OVER a 40 percent dps increase and allows you to run huohuo instead of lynx without much issue??

A bunch of the gacha 4* lightcones vary in performance depending on their superimposition. For instance, putting Welt's LC in F tier is crazy to me since it's better than "Goodnight Sleep Well" and it's better than Acheron's 4* dancing lightcone when they're all at S1, which is the situation my Acheron is in where she has to run Welt's LC because the gacha 4* options are at S1 and perform worse.
Yeah the list leans towards more to gacha players. Welt's LC is always better than GNSW unless it's s4-5
i'm pretty sure the 4*/3* LCs are considered here at their max refinement
You did a lot of "this LC got powercrept so its going very low"... which is just wrong. Lets take Black Swan for example. Sure...Foxboi LC is a team DMG increase but that does not mean the signature is worse all of the sudden.

But ruanmei's lightcone is so much more versatile on units such as sparkle, hmc, asta, and any unit that has 3 turn ults due to the permanent buff and on units such has hanya building bf at e6 is worht it to trade the er rope or for charas such as asta.
Moze can use Yanqing's 4* to pretty great effect because he never loses the buff under the optimal conditions
He can, but the buffs from it still aren’t good enough to make it better than something like boat or swordplay. To give a specific example, the pistol from 2016’s Doom is nice because it has infinite ammo, but the damage is still shit
Appreciate the RM slander hahah, but still a lot of people have her and her impact for them is very noticeable so it still should be top. Yes dmg% is useless but it still enables a new player to have the most value

If I had to say which takes of Mr.Pokke are most questionable, it would probably be his LC takes, but it's in part because of how box dependent LCs can be. Anyone watching this, take this video with a few grains of salt. My advice is when determining if a LC is valuable to you, don't look at a tierlist at all. Just do an analysis of what the LC will be doing for you for the purpose you have in mind for it. MrPokke is not going to be able to accurately assess what you can do with a particular LC in a way that will be useful for all players.
E.g. I just used Carve the Moon S5 to get a 3901 clear on node 1 of current Apoc with a Jingliu team. You could do the same thing with Ruan Mei's LC. Being able to manipulate energy of the team can be incredibly useful in letting your team get going right away and reach energy breakpoints to save yourself a cycle or get higher AV scores in Apoc. Ruan Mei's LC also can double as a skill point resource for heavy skill use comps. Utility effects like this can be very valuable if you actually know what you are doing with your rotation planning. MrPokke should know better but I think he's been out of TC and speedrunning (and overly relying on whaled out units) a bit too long to be aware of how valuable some of these options actually can be.
Outside of limited 5* lightcones, Erudition's choices are just sad. Besides Himeko's and Herta 5* LC that you can get "F2P", the 2 MoC lightcones Seriousness of Breakfast (actually don't know why this is rated so low F tier, since this is the like relatively useful outside of Pure Fiction) and Day The Cosmos Fell (which is Element dependent/restricted to trigger 2nd effect) are like the best picks for the worst case scenario. Also, W tierlist.
Geniuses' Repose literally exists and is one of the best 4* DPS Lightcones. Today Is Another Peaceful Day (Battle Pass LC) S5 competes with Limited 5* LCs damage-wise, especially on Argenti/Qingque. The Day The Cosmos Fell is also not restricted because generally you're going to match your DPS to elemental weaknesses. That aside Jing Yuan Lightcone is good on basically every Erudition character (except Rappa who is coming out, or if you're doing Superbreak Himeko) and a good account investment if you like Erudition characters.
@@hallyuniverse Yes I agree with you on most of your points, but I said that this is for the worst case scenario and for a perspective of F2P / how available they are. Sad isn't it? I'm assuming S5 Breakfast and S5 Cosmos vs a gacha 4* LC that you don't have or is not probably S5, you would probably better go for those choices I mentioned. And for the Cosmos LC, you literally said the restriction. I personally would go for Cosmos LC for any Erudition char if the* enemies have their respective weakness on them. But would you wait a MoC, or Pure Fiction just to use your Cosmos on your only built Erudition character like QQ or something like that (unless you have every Erudition character).
@@jdrm3710 it's not a real restriction though, because Erudition is comprised of DPS characters, and you want to match your DPS to the enemy's elemental weaknesses in most situations (especially in MoC or AS). It's one of the better craftable LCs and is better than Geniuses' Repose (which is very strong) vs Elite enemies if there's no smaller enemies to kill. Nihility is the real Path lacking in F2P LCs, luckily Herta shop is getting Event LCs next patch so Tutorial Mission will be available for everyone.

That yanqing 4 star LC, any hunt unit with Aventurine can use that..
Not to mention Moze can use that LC without worrying have to get hit, because of his departed state
And that 5 star Yanqing LC, is only usable by Yanqing himself..
Cuz IF you do build Yanqing, you only ever go for ± 30% Crit Rate.. Because he gets 60% from ult, and 10-20% from soulsync state..
So without his ult crit rate, he rarely crits.. He actually fills his crit rate downtime with this LC..
I think people generally have too much tunnel vision regarding 5 star Yanqing's passive. It's more fair to just forget that passive even exists and respect the stat stick. It's literally free, unconditional crit value. There will be situations when someone will want to use more than 1 hunt unit in their MOC/APOC and then it will serve as an excellent secondary to a Herta LC assuming you either don't have high refine swordplay or happen to use more than 2 hunt units in your comps. That's the use case.
qq LC being so low dispite being the strongest non limited 5* option for most eruditions is kinda crazy
resolution being better then jiaoqius lc is insane considering how jqs lc is literally just resolution but better. Aventurines sig is being extremely underrated. Its literally s5 gepard sig, the moc f2p aventurine damage lc, and trend with an actually useful effect all wrapped up into one. Absolutely diabolical. Jades sig is being extremely overrated, big “uunga buunga def ignore=good” going on here. Its good on her and maybe qingque but nobody else. Yunlis sig is being underrated. Sig vs fall of an aeon is like night and day. Im pretty sure its also calculated as one of the biggest jumps between f2p and sig. Aeon is good generically but yunli sig is insane.
crazy how much value you see in light cones based on your budget. As a $5 per month player I'd rate a lot of the signature ones lower. I only get signature light cones for my top performing DPS, that don't have great alternatives, like Acheron, Jingliu (back in the day, well she's still fine) and Dr. Ratio (sorry Ratio this one is Feixiao's now). Some of the better performing 4* ones would get a bump up instead.
I haven’t used Jing Yuan in a long time but I use his LC every time there’s a new Pure Fiction
I think I've got two real opinions on this list. I would've taken a lot of the better f2p cones and pushed them up a tier or two. Not all of them, but like the non-destruction manifest shop LCs for example are all very capable for the fact that you're guaranteed at least one copy and the currency needed to buy remaining copies is pretty easy to get. Same with Meshing Cogs and Multiplication. I don't think it should push any of them into S tier, but the fact that a newer player can pretty easily get a hold of them and safely invest in so many of them, provided they have a character to use them on, is pretty good. Pure Fiction is also a real gamemode, and I feel the Erudition cone ratings fail to take it into account. Like everybody has Herta and Herta really likes if a teammate can help trigger her follow ups, which means a lot of people want at least 2 Erudition cones. Given PF having 2 sides, Himeko's desire for weakness breaks, and Jade's want of a debt collector, I don't think it's impossible for somebody to be running 2-4 erudition characters in PF, and not everybody is going to have signature cones for all of them. Calculus, Cosmos, and to a lesser extent Breakfast all do a good job plugging those holes.
Naw, put adversarial in at least E tier for being Boothill's best f2p LCs

@@kaiky_3821 i had a dream that she converts her ATK (up to 3200 ATK) into increased break effect dmg %
@@ieatice That's just Firefly
@@kaiky_3821 firefly increases her break effect stats
rappa increases the break damage enemies take
they both scale off atk, though rappa is capped off at 3200 atk
Am I the only one who still does not have S5 DDD?
My Gallagher is never clicking the skill he sherishes multiplication
Man seeing herta light con on f tier wonder if gacha smack see this another drama might happen 😂
Lol not everyone can zero cycle dude
Not everyone WANTS to zero cycle either, if it gets me max rewards it’s good enough for me
Dont understand this Tier list. Sometimes it matters that many characters can use it and sometimes it just falls away, which seems pretty bad of a way too rank things imo and sometimes he is just biased
It’s funny how much he talks about alternatives on this list and then ignores that the Boothill lightcone alternative is dropping in 2.5 lol
Multiplication is absolutely awesome on Gallagher. And the faster he is already, the bigger the effect of it to make him hit and ult more often and thus break and superbreak free heal and generate skillpoints more often. In my calculations it's clearly his best in slot, as long as you can manage him not getting 1-shot and that also shouldn't be too hard, as he only needs speed and some break effect and otherwise can be built freely with enough HP and DEF percent.
On Firefly, On The Fall Of An Aeon is SSS for sure, as she is the one Destruction character that can implant weakness, so she can ALWAYS benefit from the Light Cone's full effect. Not to mention her speed is gigabuffed by her Ult, so she attacks super often and reaches max stacks super fast.
Fall of An Aeon is EXTREMELY overrated, its good but not better than all the limited lightcones in S.
when you have LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE you too will start glazing the shi out of it, 3/6 of my destruction dpses fight for it every single day, why do i have 3? poor pulling choices
@@A.Singularity real, just like hunt units if you dont have high superimposed swordplay
@@A.Singularity FRFR my Clara, Jingliu and Firefly literally fighting for their life right now. If hoyo releases more destruction characters that need this lc it's joever for us f2ps.
2.5 characters tier list when? You made a really W tierlist, I'm sure you'll do good.
The problem with Weighting destruction signatures based on Fall of an Aeon too heavily means in MOC/Pure Fiction/Apocalyptic Shadows you can NEVER run two destruction DPS if you don't have one of their signature light cones. This is not as much of an issue with GNSW because its unlikely you use two units within the same run with this light cone for most players. And for Harmony because you have multiple good 4 start light cones its not really an issue. But the idea of using multiple destruction DPS units is very realistic and you cannot use Fall of an Aeon on both of them in the same run.
Yes, that's why i pulled DHIL sign
Cogs, multiplication, AND erudition battlepass lightcone ratings are horrendously inaccurate
34:20, DDD will always be valuable to any player in the game, it's not because you don't 0 cycle that it becomes useless. That's the total opposite. Within 1 cycle you can make use of it only 1, maybe twice at max (per character), but it really shines and shows a real difference when you used it like 5/6 times in a battle allowing you to play much more than if you had an other lc
46:58 Gacha Smack gave him a pass
Seele LC is good because it allows you to build speed without sacrificing damage, and every hunt unit wants speed.
PS: also it’s a general light cone that any dps can use while the other hunt light cones are specific to their niches.
I think jiaoqiu lightcone should be over resolution ( def shred lc) its literally way better and has the stats nihilty characters want but if the 4 star lc is there for accessibility and not performance then its whatever
If it was solely about performance then sig would just be at the top over the 4* options… even at the very start of the video he took pulls for sigs into account with the Ruan Mei LC example…
Nihility and Harmony LCs have enough competition that leaves them lower than dps sigs… and if someone is pulling a dps sig without the dps it was made for then that person needs help (this is mainly true for all the destruction character sigs, the hunt characters can use the other hunt sigs for the most part)
its only good on jiaoqiu and black swan
@@silvia___ guinaifen uses it really well too. It turns any nihility into an awesome debuffer as long as they have aoe on their attacks.
@@Sable813 you dont build enough ehr on guinaifen to reliably get the debuffs, and if you would she would end up doing no damage
it could be ok i suppose in a dot team but im really not sure how you would end up in a situation where you have that cone and the only place you can use it in is in a dot team on guinaifen?
acheron is another spot where it could be usable but again how would you be in a spot where you are running acheron with a guinaifen with a limited 5* cone?
pela wants resolution, silver wolf wants tutorial, sampo and kafka fall in around the same spot as guinaifen
its a very very good cone, but only 2 characters in the game can use it vs resolution who can actually be ran by everyone
@@silvia___ you use it on guinaifen with an ehr chest. She almost always lands the full debuff due to her e1 lowering enemy res. And yes I only use it for her on acheron teams.
I use pela Guin acheron gepard as a team. It's a cheap low cost team (my acheron is e0s0) and guinaifen with this LC combined with pela gives a massive dmg amp to acheron.
I'm getting Acheron Lightcone on her rerun. Not only does it boost my CRIT DMG to 200%, it also allows me to clear more comfortably. Aye, 80/200 CRIT is good enough for me. I'm still waiting for that DDD to show up in the Limited Lightcone Banner...
BRO MISSING OUT ON PASSKEY AINT NO WAY
So if I have 2 ddd s5,there is no reason I pull for limited harmony lightcone right?
I think lil bro lives in an alternate reality ... 💀😂
Truly the tier list of all time
it's funny that at the start of the game Fall of an Aeon is regarded as the worst Herta LC because it stacks so slow and breaking wasn't really that important
fast-forward to over a year later and it's become the absolute best Herta LC because of how easy it is to kill non-boss mobs and breaking has become meta
quite ironic since it has risen to the top while being named "FALL of an Aeon"
Bro didnt see the Moze light cone before putting Boothill light cone in the tier list
as always biased against Sparkle :D . A crit value of 48% + for all the team is considered by you at the same value as the March and Jingliu lightcone. I would have liked a little more impartiality .... but looks like... not today
1:30 Passkey let me solo MoC 10 with Serval back in the day, but only because of the super OP dissociation buff we had back then 😂 I don't know if it has had any use since then but I thought I'd mention it when you were talking about niche 3 star LCs.
tbh, ruan mei's signature is pretty bad on ruan mei, but it's actually really nice on HTB. trailblazer with e6 is already good enough to keep up their ult cycle and the extra energy as helps ruan mei hit her ult cycles as well. it also gives more break then MotP which is more helpful for HTB who has their own superbreak damage potential rather than ruan mei who's break basically becomes useless after a certain point.
Yeah, for E0 Firefly users, putting Ruan Mei's LC on HMC is a good strategy to solve the SP issue if the team, to the point that Firefly, HMC and even Ruan Mei can spam skills and still the team can manage their SP economy with Ruan Mei's LC and Gallagher
But now it seems that people are using DDD and just try to rely on Ruan Mei and Gallagher, sometimes HMC as well, to generate SP with basics. That said, even if you choose to use DDD on HMC, Ruan Mei can still use her LC and I feel that it's still the best combination
all that and still not better than ddd. Also I'd rather get e1 firefly or e1 ruan mei if I already have e2 firefly (which is what I did) than getting this useless light cone.
It's not bad, it allows her 3 turn ult cycles and solve sp problems in boothill teams, xueyi teams, firefly teams, and also dot teams. It legt makes her the second best harmongy sp unit equal to hanya. (Sparkle sp is poo, 0.33 sp per turn is just bad).
Also 60 break effect and 24% 3 turn dmg boost to the team.
Putting River Flows in C while and Past and Future in FFF for same reason is wild
Battle Pass Hunt Lightcone is a bit underrated. For low spender players who only buy the pass and battlepass and have 2 or more hunt characters they want to use, it's the only accessible CRIT lightcone other than Stellar. It's easier to get than Swordplay S5 that's for sure and makes building a lot easier too with the CR.
the audacity to put the passkey in fff tier!!! zajef uses it on himeko in pure fiction (of course it's zajef who's using an energy restoring weapon)
Not me who pulled sig LC for Black Swan like yesterday whoops
Also, justice for Herta LC it's pretty decent!
Geniuses' Repose > Before Dawn > Night on the Milky Way )
Bruh ur argument regarding RM LC is so bad. Why is DDD up there then huh? If it ain't a 0 cycle tier list for LC, why the fk is DDD SSS then?
The most unbiased tier list I've ever seen
Topaz LC was a must pull for the artwork alone.
Multiplication is great on healers such as Luocha or Gallagher (although QPQ is way better on latter since he already prints way too much SP and ER is far better, especially since he is the only unit that can actually put QPQ to extremely good use due to turns cheating).
Also, Acheron's cone is only for Acheron. I would personally never consider DPS lightcones that are glued to one DPS character as SSS. Because they are that as long as the DPS itself is considered SSS, and you already have Acheron running for her money. There is just nobody else that remotely wants that cone unless you are meme building certain units for the fun of it. It's just useless outside of Acheron. You could make argument that perhaps in the future we get more DPS crit Nihilities, but by then you would probably get their own cone that works way better for them, if not better for even Acheron herself (see Jade's cone or JQ's own cone). It just isn't something you must own unless you are serious about just Acheron.
If Seele and ratio/topaz’s LCs aren’t high up there I quit
THEY WORK ON SO MANY HUNT UNITS.
Add on: Hear me out: multiplication on Gallagher and Luocha.
I'm aiming for Adventurine E0S1. I found it curious that Gepard's LC was above Aventurine (I guess because it's F2P). I do have Gepard LC. Does Adventurine sig LC really make a difference or does it make no sense for me to go for it? (I plan to pair him mainly with Feixiao)
Depends. If you want more dmg+debuff, it is better than Gepard's LC. If you only want pure sustain, it can work as substitute, but Aventurine's LC still provides better def stat than Gepard's LC.
The most profound impact it has is in Dr. Ratio teams or any teams that require debuffs. Anything other than that, you are good to go with Gepard's light cone.
go for support eidolons or dps light cone/eidolons instead. Much better than sustain light cone
I found it very important for the specific build I wanted for him, to surpass his 4k def threshold. It gives him a substantial def boost and mostly buffs his personal dmg as well as giving him a minor debuff on fua. If you like him I would get it, it's a very useful sustain lightcone. If you use acheron or Dr ratio, it makes him wayyy more useful for their comps.
The reason it’s such a competitive option for him is that it still gives a lot of defense, but it gives something that his sig doesn’t even give, massive taunt increase. Since aventurine gets more stacks when he is hit himself, it does help him get even more follow up attacks off. It’s not necessarily better, just different (it’s also available to buy in the shop if you really want or if you get in on the standard banner or something).
From what I've read, I think people do value E1+Gepard LC Aventurine over E0S1; the main exceptions being Ratio or Acheron teams that require debuffs. There's also a calc I saw before that Aventurine on a non-FuA team would prefer Gepard LC for the taunt so he can get more stacks in a comp that doesn't stack his talent well.
You should rate signature LC based on how useful they are to the intended unit, just give it some + points if its usable to other unit and another point besed on versatility.
Best example is Acheron LC, its the best LC for her but mehhh to other nihility units. Unlike Bronyas where it is best for her and + points coz others can use it too.
Pokke where was this video when I pulled Black Swan's LC over Kafka's last week
Idk if anyone has already said it, but Return to darkness that low is such a whale take... The passive might be useless, but 24% crit rate at s5 make it a great stat stick if you have many hunt characters and none of their signatures considering that the only f2p LC that give unconditioned crit rate is Herta's and sadly I can't give it to both Topaz and Feixiao at the same time.
Fermata should be a bit higher in my opinion because while yes the ehrta lc is better in everyway, you can only have one, so when you have multiple characters that would want it fermata is a pretty good second choice
now do it with eidolans and make it a 3 hour video
you'll only hate QUID PRO QUO when you're always losing your 50/50's to Bailu XD
I only have two SIG LC
Which are Topaz LC and Acheron LC.
I'm trying to pull for Feixiao LC but I don't think I could make it.
But having those two SIG LC really helps me a lot
Fu xuan's light cone placement made me die a little, maybe people just understimate how insanely broken the power of having max hp every single wave is, that lightcone alone break several of the healers single handedly 💀
I abuse FX LC in SU . It's so good for that game mode.
I use the Hunt BP LC on March, primarily because of free Crit Rate
i dont know why i even watched when i already quit this game
What a good meme tierlist
How is Argenti not doing good?
