Hyperovervaporburgeon-charged is complete at last.

God damn did that take forever. I got sidetracked ascending Nilou and her weapon and getting her Talents leveled up but even without that it was not easy getting the Elemental Mastery artifacts I needed for Razor. EM goblets and circlets are stupidly rare, but I finally managed to get one so I could complete the 4-Piece Gilded Dreams set with a sands I got earlier.

The artifacts are all complete garbage of course, but the amount of effort it would take to get really good EM artifacts just isn’t worth it. The floor on Hyperbloom and Burgeon is so high that just stacking EM alone is competitive with some of the best non-Dendro teams.

Anyway, I went and made some build cards to show you what I ended up with:

Xingqiu’s got a pretty solid amount of investment in him, but his goblet in particular is absurd and an absolute godsend because I didn’t have any unused circlets in the Emblem of Severed Fate set. He’s got 236.4 total CV which is pretty good.

Nahida’s artifacts are all insane levels of fucked except her goblet, which I needed to be able to use that EM sands on her. Even with Kagura’s Verity adding 66.2 CV, she’s at 318.2 total.

Bennett doesn’t really matter all that much stats-wise, I mostly just went for as much healing and Energy Recharge as I could get on an Instructor set. He’s mostly just here to give Razor the Pyro infusion and EM buffs.

As for its performance, well, I can destroy the Primo Geovishap in one rotation. Hu Tao can do it faster, but considering that Hyperovervaporburgeoncharged is an AoE team I’d say that’s quite good.

I would have liked a bit more EM on Razor but I really needed CRIT Rate to get Favonius procs so I went with a CRIT-focused flower and plume on him. The team as a whole might also need more ER for single target fights, so I’m considering Favonius Codex for Nahida just to get some more particles going. Bennett and Xingqiu in particular need quite a lot of ER, but Razor kinda has too much because his goblet rolled almost 30% in substats...

But I’m pretty happy with the way things turned out. I think I’m going to try and build Nilou next, but I need to decide what characters I’m using and what to equip Nilou with.

Best Christmas ever

can I have a Welt Yang from Honkai Star Rail? he's my grandpa and I love him.

I firmly agree with "he's my grandpa and I love him". He's also the reason I even started to play HSR! (bonus Himeko)

[majorproblems77]

Idk why but for some reason out of all the Lu boys he’s my favorite to draw lol

Oh btw this is also a gift for you cause your a amazing friend!! ^-^

what would your ocs be as pokemon? or if you've already done that what would they be as bugsnax??

Oh I have never been asked this publicly before (for I have not been asked... anything publicly before this week LOL) but I don't know if you're prepared for how much I have thought about my ocs as pokemon or how much effort I am currently putting in to... Well. You'll see.

So. I have Thoughts.

Here are my thoughts (names quickly added for this to be understandable by anyone but me. But I've had this image made for quite some time)

(I love that regular wingull appears on here twice. It was kind of the only choice for both of them LOL.)

(also I like how this shows you who my brain considers In A Group with each other... hee hee)

So this is like.. The whole cast of MYMK lmao. Even down to background characters. These are like... PMD style pokemon assignments. I tried to balance "literally looks like them" with "has the right vibes, thematically". So you can see a couple thematic pairs of pokemon like the cherrims, meowstics and such. Then other fun picks like Charizard for Hainu, since he's a, well, hypebeast more than he is a person. Then, Markus and MacGuffin get Silvally and Type: Null for (wink) reasons.... And Miao is Marowak because don't even worry about it. Lupus is Lycanroc-Dusk because funny doggy shounen protagonist :)

Also there are ABSOLUTELY pokemon that fit Tabitha better than Persian does but I've been saying hes one of those since 2015 and I'm attatched to it now.....

The reason I went ahead and planned these out and finalised these recently though.... Is because I also assigned them all ideal ribbons/marks/pokeballs and am going to hunt them all! Right now I'm prioritising getting ones where the ribbons/balls necessitate getting them from gens 4-7, but they're all nearly done and are sitting in ultramoon while I grab the royal master ribbon for a few!

(Obviously I've named pokemon after OCs before but these will be The Definitive Guys... Until next gen inevitably introduces the perfect guy for someone lol. C'est la vie!)

I've got a couple more already in swsh and scvi (recently I caught Lazulite in swsh! Go Raid RNG!) but this is the big first step. As for how many other steps there are....

Don't.

Don't even worry about it.

Anyway! Most of the main characters have fully assigned "if they were a pokemon trainer" Rosters too with some lore. (Chrome does contests, All of Tabitha's pokemon have been gifted to him, Lupus has insane shiny luck, Ali Will Summon Giratina....)

Also! The Alighieri triplets map perfectly onto the shiny meowths! They were the first three I went out of my way to hunt back when I saw shiny G-Meowth and realised!!! Pink Yellow Blue!!! My little guys!!

And lastly the thing you almost certainly weren't asking was "what would your OCs look like if they were fakemon, but I also have that for, you guessed it, Chrome, Tabitha and Ali.

Now... As for bugsnax. I have not played bugsnax but I DO have a resident bugsnax fan... So I asked him out of curiosity and they Extremely Delivered. So, Courtesy of @thebrightesteyes....

(me, going on the wiki for the first time: WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE 112 BUGSNAX I THOUGHT THERE WERE LIKE. 20)

these things are cute i should play this game. i hear there's divorce.

Anyway I've been trying to rotate a PMD AU in my brain for some time now (purrgatorio lends itself well to it, obviously...) I wonder what I'd make the antagonist...

Also, of note. Ali (and their siblings) does actually have a canon favourite pokemon and opinion on pokemon because they're from a real-world setting. Thing is they are like, not a gamer. So...

Ali likes Dusknoir and Seviper because they saw them on trading cards as a kid and likes Hoopa Unbound because Ari showed them on pokemon go knowing they'd like the design. If they gamed though they'd LOVE Giratina but Hoopa would probably stay top spot.

Ari likes Raichu, Lurantis and Toucannon. (Gamer)

Avi likes Clefairy, Meloetta and Brionne. (The kind of person to seek out fanart and gifsets online to reblog)
