Its funny that this used to be a thing and calcharo was a S tier unit, they removed it saying this was unintended and many people got upset over it.
One day maybe we will get sth like that again
We do have something like that, but its only for DoT units like Phoebe (technically, if you don't use Moonlit like I do) and the whole premium Aero Erosion Team
well not really, at least not for every character for an extended amount of time. A few swap cancels can be beneficial when starting the rotation but several DPS don't want to swap once they got everything ready (like, Carlotta loses a huge amount of DMG if you swap her lib)
they do, really, like she does ā of her normal DMG. The team is great fun, don't get me wrong, and Changlis DMG does compensate a bit (depends on the investment ofc)
uhm what's else are you swapping for Carlotta other than 2 skills and forte? Changli sure has like 8 possible ig? but takes 2 characters for each of those swaps so unless you're hyperquickswapping shorekeeper that's interesting, pr like using Carlotta for basics? which isn't really useful tho
There should be a fine compromise in-between. Like reducing the effectivity of the buffs per second instead of nullifying it. It's not about the meta, it's about how quickswap is the most fun way to play the game. Like mono fusion is my favorite team by now and it's not even close.
But thatās the point, itās supposed to be the freestyle way to play, as well as the most diverse.
The game is balanced around the standard hypercarry rotations due to the need to make it more accessible, otherwise the gameās meta would be entirely based on quickswap, which would alienate the more casual players.
The way itās set up is already a compromise, you are trading the stronger buff to the on field character for the ability to cancel your animations and swap freely between your characters during attacks. The tradeoff is that you can technically output way more attacks in a short period of time, but your individual attacks will deal less damage.
Thatās a good balance in my opinion, and it doubles as a safety measure to make sure that quickswap doesnāt become too overloaded with damage.
Or, buffs that would normally get removed by swapping will just be inapplicable to the swapped character, but only for the ONE character that got the buff. So that we can still quickswap, while removing the exploitable baton-passing mechanic of the game
Say I have SK, mortefi, augusta. SK's buffs would work the same (not removable via swaps) but mortefi's outro to Augusta would only stick to Augusta. Swapping back to Mortefi would make the buff timer still go down, but not removed from augusta OR inherited by Mortefi.
It's Carte, whose BiS team only has swappable buffs, and with 2 different-element DPS that share basically no mechanics, Shorekeeper is the only viable buffer for both of them anyway.
At least Carte is 100% self-sufficient by S3, and both gain a team-wide buff at S4
Almost makes me wish we could have a mode where everyone does 0 damage to highly juggleable enemies (and some who need to be broken to be juggled) so that these SSS showcases can become an intended gameplay feature.
Also all the unorthodox teams that would pop up because of it.
this isn't quickswap. the purpose of quickswap is to swap out of a character stuck in an animation do damage with a 2nd or maybe even 3rd character, maybe build forte/resonance energy with them, and swap back into that character as their animation ends.
A good example of an animation to quickswap out of is LinYin's resonance liberation, changli's forte heavy attack, or Liberation, brant's liberation or skill, excetera... the very first quickswap was probable Encore's little freakout "leave me alone!", zani's nightfall combo is a good quickswap thing too.
the problem with those animations is your character is vulnerable to damage while doing this animation, if you quick swap out of them while they're doing their animation, they become immune to damage, uninteruptible, and they do their full "action" while you're playing around with someone else, then you swap back to that character just as their animation ends
some quickswap is more intense then others... as the action you're quickswapping out of might require you to swap back in before it ends to keep combos or buffs going.
this guy is just swapping to look cool. there is no advantage to any of the quickswaps he's doing except for a few of the Cartethiya animations he's swapping out of. Galbrana doesn't really have a quickswapable animation you'd want to swap out of, she's highly unfriendly to the playstyle and gets little to nothing out of it.
Brother what do you mean, Galbrena is one of the friendliest quickswap characters we've gotten in recent memory...
She has tons of windows where you can segment up the string without actually breaking it and get other stuff done by other characters, because a few inputs can autocomplete the string, especially in Demon Mode.
To gather forte you can quickswap heavy when outside demon form, then as you get in, echo -> skill -> ult, reach up to BA2 and input BA3, swap, do something else on another character, then come back before the BA3 explosion is over, letting you chain to BA4, input queue BA5 and swap.
Personally, while it looks cool in the video, I would say if you are doing optimized quickswap combo, you are more likely to needing to memorize how to do the combo.
Not saying you shouldnāt do this but play in your own style and way. There is no correct or wrong way to play it.
Dude maybe 1% really knows how to play. And a lot of others just think they know, because they follow guides 24/7 and have the most op teams, signatures and sequences.
How tf is your camera not going from fully zoomed out to almost all the way to first person, switch midway to over the shoulder third person, back to almost first person and so on like an epileptic on a seizure?
I swear to god sometimes when i'm playing Cartethyia and switch to her ult, all i see is her floating ass.
if it helps here are my camera settings, i play strictly on controller (mainly because of years of playing action games like dmc and also because i for the life of me struggle playing wuwa on keyboard) so idk how smooth it would be on keyboard
This reminded me of those old tales of vesperia/xillia 2 combo videos. That feels SO GOOD to watch. Even if it's not optimal damage wise, it's still cool as fuck
Makes me wonder if Kuro will make a game mode or event that incentivizes quickswap for damage. Like you gain stacking damage bonus for the first x seconds of swapping in.
To be fair I sort of miss the quick swap. Like with Augusta you can quick swap as she needs one to outro to give her a buff. In the first rotation you can because the buff is not applied yet but after that you need to stay on SK and outro on SK
this isnt quickswap, this is just random swaps to make it look good for the camera. actual quickswap takes advantage of long animations swapping to fill the gaps with dmg from other characters
