#i built gepard SOOOO grudgingly

[yinyuedijun]

this will just be my two cents for the gepard vs aventurine thing but i think the thing that makes aventurine better in an acheron team is his talent that gives allies with his shield 50 effect res, which lets you run aven as solo sustain (the only healer or shielder on the team) whereas with gepard you'll still need someone to free acheron from frozen/dominated/rampaging

also aven's shield is stackable and is not reliant on the ult (meaning you don't have to go for er rope) and you can also get the shield from when aven triggers follow up attacks

(just sent you a friend request in eu btw)

hehe thank u! I will accept when I log in :3c excited to be hsr friends!!!

also I wrote a WHOLE ESSAY in response to your thoughts I'm so sorry 😭 putting it below a cut:

I agree aventurine is overall better in an acheron team, and for me it's because of the ult rotations and dmg amplification, but in the context of general moc teams, I think a well-built gepard can compete with an e0 aventurine for most situations specifically in terms of sustain, assuming they both have around ~4K DEF. my gepard's shield is about as thick as aven's 200% shield, and he's usually fast enough to ult before my team takes significant damage. I agree though that shielding via skill is WAYYY more comfortable than ult, but if for example your DPS is named daniel heng imbibitor lunae then you can't be skilling too much anyway 😰 <- dhil main angst

this also might be because I have skill issues 💔 but I actually don't love the eff res mechanic on aventurine and you can usually cope with gepard's lack of it. even with cc bosses, gepard can usually solo sustain in my experience - his taunt with his LC is so high that he's always the one getting cc'd so my DPS is fine. this current moc 12 is the exception, but in the half where he can't solo sustain specifically because of crowd control, aventurine ALSO can't do it 💀💀💀 I think fu xuan and luocha are much better suited to cc situations, I wouldn't depend on aventurine for them unless you like to gamble (LOL)

tl;dr aventurine skippers you are valid 🙏 but all that being said. I hate playing gepard LMFAOAOA if aventurine hadn't come out my ass would be saving for huohuo rn 😔
