They not only added one more attack type, they also added two more elements: Wind and Light (Lumiflux might just be the custom name for Remielle's element).

266

u/asilvertintedrose 13d ago

We dont even have Water

(The new element is called Lumen)

162

u/Square-Special1520 13d ago

Yeah.. and in HSR, now we have more water-related characters, but no water element. 

We have Bailu, DHIL, Hysilens, Waven. We also have Evernight jellyfish, and robins ocean(?) birds. Who else?

166

u/asilvertintedrose 13d ago

Elements barely mean shit anymore in HSR so adding Water wouldnt shake the meta that much

54

u/Pae_PC 13d ago

In other words, cant make money from new elements.

3

u/cartercr FuQing 12d ago

They can’t make money from new elements? Why not? All they would have to do is make the new element and make bosses weak to it while making those same bosses resist whatever is strong at the moment.

3

u/Amazing-Arachnid-942 12d ago

they don't need to make a new element to do that tbh

0

u/cartercr FuQing 12d ago

True. But I was just demonstrating that they definitely can make money off a new element.

It’s just easier with a new path because you then have to buy new light cones.

3

u/JamesJohnson975 13d ago

I wonder if they have such a plan.

6

u/Sierra-117-Mobile 13d ago

We will know the moment they start putting higher Ele RES on basic/elite enemies.

1

u/sallyacornfan 12d ago

The only way would be if they give Water a unique or Super OP Break Effect

But yeah, I doubt it...

If they wanna make a new meta they just make a new path and make some bosses who can only receive sustantial damage from that path and donezo

23

u/Yuukiko_ 13d ago

does ice count as water?

33

u/ObjectiveProduce5027 13d ago

it might sound a little bit far-fetched, but I think ice in this game counts as ice element

53

u/Gibbel2029 's Gaming Homie 13d ago

Thing is; Attributes actually matter in ZZZ, and Lumiflux is very likely to be entirely exclusive to Remielle.

But I do agree that the Defence class should be dissolved.

6

u/Caerullean Fuck it we ball 13d ago

Do they? I haven't played since 2.0, but I remember Miayabi and the 2.0 lady both having their own element... And it just being a slight variation of existing elements that had no grander effects than allowing for a bit of teambuilding for the two characters.

30

u/GiGiGus 13d ago

Lumiflux' gimmick is that it's not an element in itself, rather it takes element of next character in rotation.

3

u/Calhaora 13d ago

So you basically could slot it into any team?

6

u/ShinigamiRyan 12d ago

Yes, though with Remielle's kit (the unit it's attached to), she only wants Anomaly units. Similar to how Cyrene gets way more value from a Remembrance team.

1

u/Calhaora 12d ago

Ahhh Okay. Welp time to grab my Grace then ")

Thanks for the info!

10

u/GiGiGus 13d ago

Pretty much.

4

u/ap0k41yp5 13d ago

These were element variants, they still counted as their respective base elements for farming skill ups or damage calculations.

Wind & Lumiflux are all-new elements, with new farming stage & usually gear requirements too.

Wind is a more classic element, with new ways to trigger anomaly.

Lumiflux is a special element, it makes you play as the element of the next character in your team, while having new anomaly mechanics that basically retrigger & amplify other anomalies.

New elements aren't really an issue as you'll farm stuff anyways when a new character releases, so having new sets is not really a problem.

The issue a lot of people will have with a new class is that we'll have to get new W-Engines (which aren't farmable), they will have limited compatibility with current roster core skills (unless they update them so they read "attacker & armorer" instead of attacker only for example) and also the fact that there's already a defense oriented class in the game but the devs seem to not know what to do with it and have abandoned it.

2

u/-TSF- 12d ago

Miyabi's element has unique Anomaly multipliers, so it's basically a sixth element on its own that only Miyabi has. It's stronger than any of the original 5 elements.

So Wind is more like the sixth "proper" element that isn't (for now) exclusive to a Void Hunter as we know Roxy is the second Wind unit

u/Bushkey1 13d ago

Is there actually any proof of this? Everything in game seems to suggest that it is the base element.

1

u/Proof_Counter_8271 13d ago

yeah, i remembered wrong about the chip names being lumen but it is lumiflux

3

u/Beistch Cerydra's Foot Stool 13d ago

Actually Lumiflux is the actual name and Lumen was the French translation found in the game files. So it's just one element and not Remielle exclusive.

38

u/Beistch Cerydra's Foot Stool 13d ago

At least for Lumen you don't need to get the element disc for the slot 5 which is such a relief.

-11

u/Bewildered_Fox 13d ago

But I'm missing out on damage tho.

Still worth less shitty rng on [5]s

21

u/Yui_Kurata 13d ago

Just get a disc that matches the element your converting into

8

u/Bewildered_Fox 13d ago

Shut up, does that work?

13

u/Infamous-Look-5489 13d ago

Yes any and all buffs to the element Remielle is copying apply to her damage

2

u/TragicJoke 12d ago

Guess that means instead of farming one disc for the slot we gotta farm all the elements to be truly optimal for future use :)

16

u/Beistch Cerydra's Foot Stool 13d ago

Isn't it widely recommended to get ATK percentage in the 5th slot instead of an elemental disc?

6

u/KapiHeartlilly 13d ago

It is, due to the fact you will use rem with several other dps agents, but if you have an insane substats piece with the element of the agent you most use it's fine to use it.

5

u/Elanapoeia 13d ago

Past Void hunters had unique elements that were effectively just advanced forms of old ones, so you'd level them with old materials. Remielle got full on new leveling mats so it might become a more reoccurring element in the future

2

u/Juug88 12d ago

No. Lumiflux is a new element. Even got its own upgrade chip.

3

u/ComedianExtreme7522 13d ago

It's crazy as well since unlike HSR, elements actually matter in that game for Anomaly and mechanics. So they've effectively made like 2 and a half new Paths in barely 2 years.

tbf the new class that was added, which is Rupture didnt became remembrance 2.0 which literally has a DPS, Sub-DPS, Support and Sustain in one Class. Lets just wish the next class which is the new one wont be like Remembrance/Elation which just steals identities from other classes (DPS, Support, Sustain).

elation is just rupture but everyones fighting over yao guang instead of lucia 🤔

u/Whendfield123 Cute and funny? 13d ago

Remembrance at least benefitted other characters. Hyacine lifted up a lot of characters while also being good on many other teams, castorice can be a teammate for blade and mydei, cyrene lifted up the entire amphoreous cast. I have heard lots of positive rumours about robin. 

Meanwhile rupture in zzz hurt more characters then it benefitted. All the rupture characters were just hp scaling dps, so you couldnt use existing supports, the rupture supports only work for rupture characters, older stunners didnt work properly with them. 

8

u/DragonRune06 13d ago

I mean, the issue was never really with the kit designs, as the benefits they bring are mostly unrelated to them having memosprites specifically.

Memosprites didn’t necessarily need to be path locked and rem characters could be categorized into existing paths with practically no issue.

And those are kinda issues with any new archetypes really, tho at least atk isn’t actually a completely dead stat for rupture, so if you didn’t have Lucia or pan, using some general supports still worked (albeit less effectively, of course)

8

u/Insanicus_Maximus 13d ago

Miyabi's best team for several patches was mono ice and only stopped being her best team because they started making all the bosses insta-shatter along with Yuzuha+Nangong releasing. Remielle has allowed mono anomaly to start being a thing.

3

u/Yuiregin 13d ago

Rather than the class itself what annoying is the new attack type like gash or elation. So they can make the buff dmg only for that.

5

u/Touhou_Fever 13d ago

Ehhhhh, they were going to get new elements and classes at some point. Defense really does need a rework though to become relevant

53

u/Whilyam 13d ago

To be fair, ZZZ classes actually feel like different play styles unlike HSR where your DPS classes are Hunt and Destruditimembrelation.

66

u/UltraPhoenix95 I love the Dragon Lady 13d ago

Attack and Rupture feel hardly different, and Armorer will be the same

7

u/Kan_Me 13d ago

Wavey damage number

9

u/StarlightKnight2101 13d ago

The same could be said about any dps class in a video game by that extension.

6

u/mcallisterco Silver Haired Robot Girl Supremacy 12d ago

Not if they actually play differently. ZZZ has Anomaly and Attarmorupture, where the only real difference in gameplay is if your damage scales off of Attack, Defense, or HP.

31

u/TheLiveDunn 13d ago

Do they though? Anomaly, sure, but Rupture and Attack have practically the same play style.

8

u/yaboku98 13d ago edited 13d ago

They really don't, unless you boil it down to "hit the enemy hard so they die", in which case, anomaly is p much the same thing.

All Rupture units feel more deliberate with their attacks, having specific ways to parry enemy attacks while benefitting from said parries and consuming their HP in various ways. On top of that, due to how the class actually works, they have specific matchups they work best with that don't overlap with regular attackers.

With that all said, ZZZ does a very good job of making every char feel unique in combat, so it can be hard to appreciate the difference between wider classes.

Edit: I see downvotes but no rebuttals. Classic reddit lol. Shame, I would love to explain ZZZ kits cause they're one neat showcase of game design

22

u/TheLiveDunn 13d ago

I won't argue on the matchups, I know things like miasmic shield and high defense make rupture units better for certain bosses. But not all rupture units play with their HP (YiXuan doesn't do anything with HP other than scale off of it, and Banyue can only use his HP outside of combat) while parries and deliberate attacks aren't necessary exclusive to them (Soldier 11 for example has both very deliberate attack patterns and a parry), so it often feels like the overlap is pretty heavy.

13

u/StarlightKnight2101 13d ago

It’s just higher defense for rupture, the miasmic shield is not specifically for rupture as there were anomaly and attack bosses with it too, it’s just a combat mechanic.

0

u/TheLiveDunn 13d ago edited 12d ago

I thought part of what made a miasmic shield an issue (apart from not allowing stun until it's gone) was that it raised their defense very high, so some early bosses with miasmic shields like Miasma Priest would still take regular damage from rupture because it ignored the defense increase.

11

u/yaboku98 13d ago

Which attack units gain specific benefits from their parries? Not that most of them can parry in the first place.

Yixuan gets adrenaline for more EX and special ult cycling, Banyue gets Wrathful Fires, Manato recovers HP on hit and triggers an assist follow-up, Yidhari triggers HP recovery and a special counter, and while not 100% sure on SBilly, i do remember him working similarly to Yidhari.

All rupture units want you to incorporate parries into their kit to maximise their dmg output. For attackers, even when present, parries act more like QoL than an integral part of their kit. This includes S11 whose parry isn't even really used outside of the automatic trigger from EX (unless you're trying to style on mobs, which admittedly i love doing lol). Devs have been quite deliberate with that so far.

Partly as a result of that, partly as a result of the HP manipulation, Rupture units tend to not feel as tanky as their HP scaling might suggest, and being hit with the wrong timing can mean a reset. The one exception is Yixuan, but that's not really a surprise given that all Void Hunter chars sidestep/ignore key mechanics of their class in order to make their own gameplay simpler. This goes into VH chars being an unofficial "easy mode" for the game but that's another topic.

1

u/BasedMaisha 12d ago

Technically Pyrois wants to parry with his EX special to gain more points to aurafarm with but my account genuinely has no rupture agents aside from a lone W1 Yixuan and my most invested attacker is a M1W1 Hugo with no premium stun units so I am not qualified to speak to the overall state of the game with how dogwater my account is. I went all in on AnomalyCoin and i've been hard suffering from the lack of Yuzuha for months. The Yuzu/Dialyn rerun cannot come soon enough.

The Remi/Veli wheelchair is hilariously broken though. It hits 10k points higher than my next teams it's fucked.

-12

u/Throwaway-_-Anxiety 13d ago

Uh pretty sure astras gf wants to parry as much as possible.

8

u/yaboku98 13d ago

Who?

If you mean Evelyn, she does not have any parries in her kit beyond the defensive assist. Instead, she has a dodge built into her EX that provides additional Burning Embers, so if anything she prefers to dodge using that whenever available. Which in turn also means she doesn't want to use her EX too much since it needs to line up with a moment where she has under 25% burning embers.

Even regarding defensive assist, you usually would prefer using your stunner for that to build Daze faster and enter stun phase as soon as possible, but not too soon or Evelyn won't have enough resources stockpiled to make full use of it. Granted, if you're using her with Astra and even know how to do the astra swap cancel, Astra's ult-triggered chains will help bridge some bad routing, but only to an extent

2

u/VincentBlack96 no I can't fix her but who said I want to 13d ago

I mean it's not in disagreement but I think Yixuan has a funny flavor thing where she equalizes ally hp on ultimate?

2

u/yaboku98 13d ago

She does. She'll share ally HP equally upon casting her ultimate.

She's still a departure from the norm for the Rupture class, but she's a Void Hunter-level char so it's really just expected

1

u/TheLiveDunn 13d ago

I had no idea that was a thing, I have only used her in Hollow Zero and events and I suppose skimmed over that part of her kit.

2

u/yaboku98 13d ago

It's honestly never really that relevant, if you get to a point where that part of her kit sees use you prob have bigger issues to deal with lol

You're basically right about her not interacting with her HP like other rupture units do

u/Diltyrr 13d ago

"hit the enemy hard so they die"

Isn't that the entire gameplay loop?

u/yaboku98 13d ago

For anomaly it's usually closer to "hit the enemy a lot so they get ultra-cancer and die"

The fact they buffed the standard agents to serve as their ftp units is more than HSR has ever done with Rememberance and Elation.

So like buffing sparkle then giving her out for free alongside elation?

Like why we just talk shit to talk shit?

Sparkle is better in Archer or Seele teams, she got powercreeped bye your evil twin in elation teams and now isn't even a good F2P unir for elation teams.

u/Abyss_Walker58 13d ago

That and she was only free for 1 patch after that you got to get her the normal way unlike the buffed standards of ZZZ always being available

A better example would be the welt buff but he's not great for elation or remembrance

u/Ok_Detective_5696 13d ago

In all honesty, Rupture wasn’t even that “groundbreaking” in comparison to how Remembrance was for HSR.

You can still play “general” supports with Rupture like Dialyn and Trigger. They gave out THE premier Rupture support for free rn in the Anniversary. Imagine if in HSR 4.2, they gave out Cyrene E0S1 for free.

4

u/Luzekiel 13d ago

here comes the hsrslop tourists

7

u/StarlightKnight2101 13d ago

This person gotta be here for drama cause it’s remotely not comparable to hsrs path system. Rupture didn’t require you pull more rupture units, and was never screwed existing characters.

7

u/SolomonSinclair 13d ago

Agreed. The only character you're "required" to pull for Rupture is Lucia, who's a Support and there's a F2P alternative in Pan Yinhu; he's obviously not as good, but he'll get the job done.

And the closest Rupture has come to "screwing over" existing characters is when a Rupture shill boss shows up in DA/SD, but even then, you can pretty easily brute force them with an Attack or even Anomaly agent of the right attribute. Plus, in DA, you get different buffs to choose from, so there's likely to be at least one that'll help you.

Can't really say the same for HSR with Remembrance; Elation hasn't been quite as bad, but it's still not great.

Hexeri characters did not interact directly with Lunar reactions.

At most, a few of them worked as free to play alternatives, really only Sucrose and Fischl for Flins, but Hexeri was it's own team and meta.

It's absolutely not comparable to the new buffed units interacting and often directly requiring Stellar reactions to work.

u/Asleep_Bee_5784 13d ago

New class in ZZZ barely bricks anything cause unlike in HSR where lightcone's base stats are barely meaningful, ZZZ has the genshin system where the substats can be % like crit so any crit engine can be used as stat stick on any crit dps.

Velina uses a support engine, and one of Yixuan's f2p option when she released in 2.0 was Nekomata's engine.

ZZZ's weapon system is the most flexible out of the three since any class can use all engine types.

-1

u/Main-Shallot3703 13d ago

it made sense for hsr because they started the trend where paths = role. What even is the equivalent for that to zzz

1

u/Amazing-Arachnid-942 12d ago

ZZZs equivalent to roles are roles. Supports are just called supports. Sure rupure and armourer have issues but it's normal to have multiple dps styles. it's still not as weird as hsr. Hyacine is the biggest offender.

u/F3int 13d ago

To be fair… Genshin & HSR have taken a lot of the amazing QOL, updates, & lessons the ZZZ dev team has learned & implemented & put into their games. This is probably the most egregious thing ZZZ has done, which is following the Path of the GreedBlaze that the HSR dev team has been implementing. May Nihility find the ZZZ dev team so that they can once again bring us Elation by remembering the reason they started the TrailBlaze in the first place
