“if i can stop one heart from breaking”
– immediately set mc to break effect kit
does Harmony MC need attack or she absolutely don’t care and only want Speed and BreakEffect ?
Spd & Break Effect Only. Give ’em HP & DEF to survive as well
that’s what i thought thanks
easy to build so
Looks to me harmony mc needed new dps for its kit to matter. Does it have great synergy with xueyi?
According to what other people have said, the formula for the backup dancer effect is uniquely different from the standard break effect formula. It doesn’t get halved from quantum/imaginary characters, and the damage is only based on the toughness-reducing damage of the effect and generously so.
As such, HTB could be as strong with Xueyi as Sparkle or possibly even better. You’d be trading raw damage numbers from her abilities for higher entanglement damage and the backup dancer’s damage. You could go from ~25% of Xueyi’s damage being from break and entanglement to about 63% with Silver Wolf and HTB, which could likely pull them ahead of Sparkle’s performance depending on the situation.
Subject to change, but the current formula for how the damage is calculated is VERY strong.
Wait a minute am i reading this right? HMC skill does 30 toughness dmg per hit and it has 5 hits, does that mean if theres only 1 enemy HMC skill will do 150 toughness dmg and 210 toughness dmg at e6?
Asta’s skill does 30 toughness damage for the 1st hit and 15 for each of the following hits. It is assumable that HMC’s skill works the same, but I won’t be surprised if it turns out to be otherwise.
Thats a lot of toughness dmg with ruan mei up to like 315 at e6. Something Unto Death has like 720 toughness.
Could someone explain something in trailblazer ult. “When allied targets with Backup Dancer attack an enemy in the Weakness Broken state, they will deal Break DMG 1 additional time”
Does it proc per attack or per hit ?, I’m confused
(Like The Swordplay light cone effect)
It’s extra break damage per attack, based on how much toughness damage that attack would have done. Each attack will do damage equivalent to how much break damage that % of the bar corresponds to. It doesn’t care about how many hits the attack has, just how much toughness damage it does.
Hitting an enemy with a toughness bar of 300 for 60 toughness damage like most skills would do 60/300 = 1/5 = 20% of the damage you would have done for a full break on that enemy.
Can someone confirm something about Trailblazer ult “When allied tragets with Backup Dancer attack an enemy in the Weakness broken State, they will deal Break DMG 1 additional time”.
Does the effect proc per attack or per hit ?
(Like Swordplay light cone)
It’s almost certainly per attack and not per hit. Based on every clip I’ve seen from beta gameplay footage, the effect only triggers once when an ally attacks. It’s already very strong though
I wanted to get some damage estimates on this kit, so I drew up my own analysis that I probably over-complicated… so I’ll be the first to be wrong here.
I threw together 3 “break” dps: Boothill, Xueyi, and Sushang, with stats based on Prydwen’s recommendations to try to avoid any bias from my stats. They had base break effects of 200, 150, and 120 respectively. I then paired them with combinations of the classic (hyperspeed) Bronya and Ruan Mei, and then Harmony Trailblazer (HTB) and hyper def shred break Silver Wolf (S5 Resolution, 120% break effect). This team was then paired with a 0 Break sustain and thrown at a single-target scenario (2 Hunt characters in analysis kinda needs this to be fair) with 360 toughness and 120 speed.
HTB performs very poorly with Sushang, and for the most part struggles with Xueyi. But, with Boothill HTB performs better than Bronya. So I would guess that HTB will be a solid FTP pick for any of these break-focused dps in the future, but only really if they can force detonate their own breaks. For any dps that can only use their break stat when breaking an enemy or through HTB’s ult, another harmony is better.
I did get shocked by the performance of Silver Wolf. With this 69% def shred and break build, she actually performs slightly better than HTB with Boothill specifically, even if less than 1% different. The best break team for BH was RM+SW, which was about 0.4% better than RM+HTB and 5% better than SW+HTB. These 3 teams had the break damage be over 50% of BH’s damage (including RM’s bonus damage hits on break and ult delay), between 53 and 67%. Xueyi’s only good team was SW+HTB, which was 3% behind RM+SW.
For delaying the enemy, RM+HTB is the best combo, getting about 40 AV more delay than the RM+SW combo. The Bronya+RM team technically gets second, but does so by dragging the dps along at 170 speed, so your supports don’t get to trigger HTB as often.
TL;DR: Harmony TB is not great with existing units unless they get additional value out of their Break Effect (Xueyi) due to the high share from E4 and 4pc Watchmaker. With Boothill, HTB is on par with S5 Resolution Silver Wolf for his best teammate behind Ruan Mei. Kit is overall niche but good in that niche.
Made a mistake in the numbers, HTB does not work with Xueyi as well as I said. Her and Sushang both would rather have someone else
did you take into account the extra damage of ruan mei basic attacks on broken enemies? the extra damage of Harm(ony)TB 315 toughness-reducing skill? add something like gallagher with his own break and that adds extra break dmg for everyone and you got a full functional team of 4 dps. His power relies on giving everyone the buff just like ruan mei
thanks for the calculations :p
No problem, I just really like the kit’s effects of boosting break damage so I wanted to get some numbers as to how good it actually was!
I did take into account both supports hitting the broken enemies with their basics while under HTB’s ult, as well as the bonus damage from Ruan Mei’s extra delay. I didn’t include the HTB’s ascension 4 passive doubling the toughness damage because, frankly, the wording on it is confusing. It sounds like only the first skill use per fight, so I wanted to avoid using it if that was the case. I counted it as 30 x1 and 15×4 for total of 90 toughness damage, which despite being the worst-case scenario (pre-E6 at worst toughness damage scenario) *still* gives crazy damage. I did count 1 skill and 1 basic during the broken phase though.
I did have to re-do my calculations based on the new break formula that came out that HTB apparently uses, which does change the results actually quite a bit. The new formula is VERY strong compared to the base formula. I also found out that Boothill’s pocket trickshot extra damage has its own toughness damage, which you can see in showcases where his toughness damage is insane (I think it’s 60 base + 30x pocket trickshot stacks, for max of 150).
The new numbers give RM + HTB and SW + HTB being MILES ahead of the other combos for Boothill, about a 50% damage increase even compared to RM + SW. RM + HTB maxes the HTB damage, but overall is only slightly better due to SW boosting the damage of the physical break being better than RM’s extra break damage. Similarly, SW + RM is only a little behind RM + HTB, but the damage profile changes to be more standard damage than break (44% break damage).
The situation is similar for Xueyi, but instead SW + HTB pulls ahead of everyone else due to SW providing Xueyi with almost complete defense shred (quantum set on Xueyi) and HTB trading a little bit of raw damage for backup dancer’s insane damage when paired with Xueyi’s ult specifically (about 33% better than RM + HTB).
Sushang is better than before, but not nearly as well as Boothill or Xueyi.
Also to note, I didn’t include Gallagher since this was mainly as a check of HTB’s damage compared to some other supports, especially in the case of a DPS that likes breaking or attacking a broken enemy. I left the sustain generic to allow me to focus on the general case and how much damage HTB does compared to the damage boosting of other supports.
With some of these teams reaching 70-80% of their total damage from breaks and HTB ult, Gallagher could provide about 8-9% damage boost overall to the team, not including his personal damage. If you got him especially at high eidolon, his break boost should be very strong if you can keep it for when the enemy is broken.
Mc new kit will remain confusing and underwhelming until someone breaks it down. One thing for sure. Its a niche kit because of break effect
Seems like a good support for Himeko+Herta. Definitely interesting.
My E6S1 Ruan Mei will be even more threatening now. Who even needs a dps on the team at that point.
This is by far the most unique harmony kit we’ve gotten, with basically none of harmony’s bread and butter attack/crit damage/dmg% buffs, opting for “Oops! All Break Effect” instead.
I’m assuming the ult works by taking the break multiplier (0.5 + toughness damage/120) and applying it to every attack, essentially taking the % of the bar that would have broken and doing that much of the break damage. Combine that with the enemy-dependent multiplier, and you’ve got some decent break damage coming out of your team, especially with a break-oriented dps such as Boothill, Xueyi, or maybe Sushang… Any fire or physical break effect-based unit will love the force procs with those elements’ 2x multiplier on break damage.
Add the major trace to delay by an extra 30%, you’re getting a base delay of 55%, if it’s a 200%+ BE Trailblazer break, then that enemy is GONE, delayed at least by 150% and slowed by imprisonment at the same time.
Could be very strong in PF specifically, with multiple breaks for fast energy generation and many triggers of damage on those then broken enemies. Either way, this kit is very hard to analyze due to the differences in damage based on multiple characters’ break effect stats, how many enemies there are, and what element your damage dealer and supports are.
I’m curious if the additional hit also applies on break for 2.2x break or only on unique hits when already broken. I’m really curious how well it would work with Ruan Mei, will breaks just slap 4x times? Is it just break dmg (always 1x) or break effect too (which would include the 2x multipliers etc you mentioned)? Could either be really good in pure fiction-esque scenarios or just a nice bonus to a few break oriented teams (xueyi + gallager + tb + ruanmei etc)
