#nuke build

[ramunnae]

oK just found this in my drafts. was asked to share my 1 mil childe nuke build/ set up like.... 2 months ago, holy shit. @bewhyy here's the build post lmao! sorry i totally forgot, life got me. also this is a super long post, i took it as a chance to practice making longer blogs and explaining what i'm talking about better!

i'm no meta slave, and i've never made a post like this, but ill try and explain to the best of both my understanding and memory. first up, the clip of the 1 mil turn. specifically, i managed to get to 1,249,025 - and that was on an imperfect run.

from this i guess its easiest to explain the rotation first, since you can see it. in order:

drop into boss, Tartaglia elemental skill (whilst stood close to boss to apply hydro), Benny burst, Mona burst (as i was running mona on widsith, i was checking for the third music note, you can see i only got the second here unfortunately), Kazuha burst, Tartaglia elemental skill (stood away from boss as to not vaporise before his burst), Tartaglia burst.

a couple other notes before i talk about the actual builds, i used a delicious adeptus temptation for the food buff (the builds are so crit damage focused that the insane atk from this food is still the best buff), and i always do my nuke builds on the lowest level scaramouche boss i can. this both increases your damage and how easy is it to do the start bit of the fight, and also means you'll get your ultimates back automatically upon downing him. it being easier also helps those who may not be as smooth with gameplay.

ok, now onto builds.

As you can see i didn't bother screenshotting the weapons, but i will note what i used (and alternatives) for each character. i will also note other good nuke team alternatives at the end that i've tried, but wont go into detail. anyway,

first, Mr Worldwide himself - Tartaglia. nuke builds are pretty simple, and generally the same for all elemental nukes (any nuke build reliant on an elemental reaction such as melt or vaporise), but essentially you're focusing on atk, crit damage, and elemental mastery. how i did this is:

weapon: i have aqua simulacra, which is pretty busted for bow character nuke builds at 88 crit damage. i realise most childe mains probably dont randomly have yelan's weapon tho, so if not i'd recommend stringless as a more universal option. blackcliff war bow may also be a viable choice if you're desperate for crit damage.

talents: my Tartaglia is triple crowned, but for a nuke, his ultimate is what's important. just level it as high as you can.

artifacts: the important part, and the part that scares people. for nuke builds, i always do 2p elemental damage bonus set and 2p either em bonus or atk bonus (which i use depends on which i have better stats with). i run em sands, elemental damage goblet, and crit damage circlet. i find running an em sands to be a huge help, since this nuke is reliant on vaporise.

Next, Benny! I'll lay each build out the same way.

weapon: i lack 5* swords, so i run my Benny on an r5 prototype rancour as it's the 4* with the highest base atk. well known by now, but Bennett's burst buff is based on his base attack only. so whatever sword you have with the highest base attack is what you should run him on.

talents: only Benny's burst matters here. mine is crowned.

artifacts: 4 piece noblesse oblige, any stats. nothing else affects Benny's use here, so dont worry about the stats for these pieces. do keep in mind that the noblesse buff lasts for 12 seconds, so after doing his burst you're on a time limit. this isn't the only timed buff in this rotation, but use this as your warning that you wanna do the rotation quickly.

Mona. to be honest, Mona is the kit i know the least about, but i do know my build does it's job! a bonus point, i believe if you have Mona's C1, you should add a single attack after her burst before switching to a new character, but i dont have her C1 sadly, so this may be wrong.

weapon: i run an r5 widsith. in alternate teams i've also run thrilling tales of dragon slayers, however this would change the rotation, as dragon slayers only affects the next character on field. aka, after Mona you'd want to quickly switch to Tartaglia, then to Kazuha. this is both more complicated and dragon slayers isn't as good as widsith, so i only run thrilling tales if i'm using a team where someone else has widsith already.

talents: burst again, mine is crowned. you'll be seeing the pattern with that.

artifacts: 4 piece instructor, stats don't matter again. this is the other timed buff, being only 8s. this isn't a problem, especially with widsith and the smoother rotation, but again note that doing the rotation as quickly as you can is best.

and last but not least, Kazuha. kazuha has the unique aspect of only really being useful in nukes if you have his C2 like i do, but i'll mention that more at the end.

weapon: i have Kazuha's signature weapon, freedom sworn, but any 4* em sword, especially at high refinement, is great.

talents: ....guess. yup. that's right. burst. mines crowned, but as high as you can level for max damage output, since all 3 of these support's bursts provide varying buffs.

artifacts: 4 piece viridescent venerer, triple em, with as much em substat as you can get from the flower and feather as well. you just wanna stack kazuha to hell and back with em. i managed to hit 1k with my build! which did wonders.

and i think that's everything! everything i plan to explain anyway, a lot of the buffs here come from Benny, Mona, and Kazuha's kits - but explaining actual kits and how they function isn't something i'm any good at, so i'll leave that out, this post is so long already.

on a final note! the alternate build/ kazuha C2 issue i mentioned. most people probably don't have C2 kazuha (unfortunately, cuz he is a lifesaver), but a much more universally achievable team is using sucrose. exact same build as Kazuha, but you run her with widsith (which is then when you'd run Mona with thrilling tales). you also use her elemental skill, not her burst like kazuha.

this post was long, and a lot more of a tutorial than i originally aimed for, also my eyes hurt from my pc lmao. but i hope it helped anyone wanting a Tartaglia nuke build/ guide!

Today, one of the leading cable news hosts just asked the French justice minister about reopening penal colonies in French Guyane and New Caledonia. Today, as the USA announced a deal that would see El Salvador become a penal colony. Later that day, Trump, next to genocidaire Netanyahu, announced his plan to turn Gaza into a U.S. protectorate. Italy is sending its unwanted migrants to Albania. Russia is using shock troops from Siberia and North Korea and causing government crises all across the Caucasus. The U.K. had plans to send its migrants to Rwanda and paid good money to do so. Rwanda's Kagame is using Western money and arms to wage a genocidal war on Congo. The EAU are the ones fueling death in Sudan. The BJP is doing mass ethnic cleansings and massacres based on religious and ethnic criteria. To say nothing of the blight that is Israel.

This is fascism, yes, but it's also the resurgence of Victorian Era politics. Colonialism, "spheres of influence" geopolitics, protectionism and trade wars. This tells us this about our enemy: their politics were defeated at every single turn. This is not about the arc of the moral universe bending towards us, this is about the enemy being spectacularly weak and exposing itself to ruin. The past century is a record of those defeats. Yes, the enemy is resurgent, but it has learned nothing, and we have 150 years of learning accessible to us.

These are grim times. Yet the past victories of the oppressed peoples of the earth tell us it is not only possible to defeat our enemy, it is the safest bet you're ever going to make in this lifetime.

throwing an Aldiirn hireling into my ascended astarion coop game because coop buddy won't let me bite his tav anymore >:( so I guess uh, Spawndiirn AU?

This Astarion is Thief Rogue 4 / Swords Bard 8 and tearing up every single battle, I'm legit wondering what if I make Aldiirn's Astarion the same build and have a double bard team. no one would survive.

sooo I accidentally made a full list of quotes slash scenes I would want to do if I participated in skilltober. i Promise at least a few of them aren't shitposts. let's see how long it takes me to get overwhelmed by everything 😏

i'll also compile other times i've drawn the skills. there is a 90% chance most of them will have like zero but it's ok. I forgive myself.

If i wasn't hampered by crippling executive dysfunction I'd be ruler of a small nuclear armed nation by now.

[vaguely-concerned]

I keep imagining the whole 'I'm still here sequence from treasure planet' scenario that must have gone down between rye and varric before the game starts and rye with their wide newly hopeful eyes like 'boy hope no one weaponizes this rare warm safe nurturing relationship in my life that makes me feel real and alive for the first time in so long against me in some of the cruelest and most premeditated ways imaginable somewhere down the line because that would sort of wreck me as a person maybe'. and then I don't feel so bad about where I'm headed

finally hit 1 mil today. not a perfect run, but got those 7 digits so good enough

woke up in a cold sweat finally knowing how to start chapter 2🙏

The ley lines had three jobs.

Securing the bunkers. Their web was kept under constant tension by the behemoths fighting to burrow deeper and deeper by merit of their screw like design. Each one pulling the others up by the lines as they tried to work themselves down.

Spreading excess load. The bunker's hearts were nuclear reactors that could spin up and drop off faster than any other renewable power source, but malfunctions happened, and the easiest way to prevent one heart bursting was to let spew as much energy as it needed to. Other bunkers with lower charges would get a surge that'd take a load off their own reactors and one day the network would repay them the same favor when their hearts raced.

Their final, vital, task was to raise the Mourners when all failed and part of the network was lost.

The Mourners were giants of shining white metal that rose from the ground at the intersections between the living and dead lines. Their heads always faced inwards, their bodies spun so that their funnels could catch every spare breeze that passed them. The ley lines couldn't be trusted to power them because the last heart would burst long before The Mourners' job was done.

They cried. The wind giving them their echoing, hitching, sobbing voices. The sheer volume was enough to deter anyone from standing within their guarded circle if their pained grieving wasn't enough to tell a would be corpse on the basest most instinctual level, that there was nothing of value left beyond their line. That the further you were from them, the safer you would be.

That pulsing cry, that warning that it was already far too late was all that throbbed through Lino's skull as he woke from what should have been his death.

I'm not working rn so my social sphere is mostly limited to personal friends and church people, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but...

Mostly interacting with the people at my (very progressive, with a queer majority) church gives me an overly optimistic estimate of the average Korean's consciousness when it comes to things like feminism, LBTQ+ rights and other social justice issues, so interacting with the actual average South Korean (esp. of the cishet male variety) about basic human rights issues is almost always a rude awakening that inevitably brings my mood crashing down 🥲

crazy concept but what if nuke ending was canon but ONLY for cdream. cdream actually DID die when tubbo killed him and never actually got revived and the rest of that stream was just like. his limbo. or that moment where he lay dying where his life flashes before his eyes and he hallucinates that entire fuckass conversation at the end because he's a bastard. idk idk
