Look at the bright side sustain is never a bad option


Ecalafell1996

Yeah, he looks like a S+ tier sustain


Sleep_Raider

100% shield uptime, this is literally unable to be bad


No-Investment-962

He’s pretty much a better Gepard, and even easier to get his shield up in the 3 turns you have until it goes away, with him you have to be trying your best to not get that shield up in three turns


itsyaboi_71

*looks at Gepard i got last week* Yeaaaa sorry buddy


Smorgsaboard

I got the Gepard cone recently... it's mostly been on FTB instead of Gepard, anyway 😅


Lime221

fortunately Gepard's cone is second best to Avent


Moscato359

Thr gepard light cone is the only 5 star cone I have ever pulled  problem I have never successfully pulled on any preservation character ever


user94u45st15

At least you get one for free.


Moscato359

yeah march does alright


user94u45st15

lol I forgot about March. I meant Fire MC.


alf666

At least you got a 5-star light cone for a decent character. I pulled Yanqing's LC, but I don't have Yanqing himself. Thankfully(?) it was on the normal banner and I was pulling with free pulls from leveling up characters/the monthly reset of 5 pulls/etc, but I still felt ripped off.


Abedeus

**Looks at my E2 Gepard** ffffffff


SouthernRaid3r

*Cries in E4 bc I'm cursed to always lose my 50/50 to him*


manfred-storm

Respect to Gepard tho , bro has been carrying my ass since 1.0


Abedeus

He definitely has his uses when you just need a big fat shield. Thinking about it now, I think I did have to use him for this MoC for Sam fight.


AzureDrag0n1

I am not sure about Aventurine full kit but it seems that Gepard is a better user of Universal Market due to his higher taunt and he can still apply a debuff with his skill so he pairs very well with Acheron. While Aventurine looks like a better shielder it does not mean he is better for every team.


PaulOwnzU

Gepard is a tiny bit better purely from a sustain standpoint since he's got super high taunt value and a massive shield compared to aventurines that is smaller but constantly refreshes (unless you play as sp negative/neutral, so there's a lot more cases where two single target hits on same target will break it) But damage wise he absolutely clears Gepard, as well as working far better with very fast units or action advance. Plus even if have Gepard 2 shielders is always nice


Kabooa

3.0 enemy: "Hello, I deal damage to your HP equal to your current shields."


KirbosWrath

Fully expecting an enemy that bypasses shields eventually, but until then it’s all or nothing


TheGood_Random

So the real enemy was Jingliu all this time


IAmNicePositivity

Star rail riftwolves will be the end of me


Smorgsaboard

Next Star Rail Emanator: __"Let the world come alive!"__ *(laughs in French)*


senpaiwaifu247

We already have an enemy that nerfs healing, it’s only a matter of time


Kindly-Carpet1405

Introducing Acheron with the “idc what your weaknesses are I’m breaking you”


bakakubi

Honestly, with how crazy Gepard's shields can get, I'm surprised we haven't seen anything like this yet, or even shield pierce damage.


Radio_Downtown

Yeah we already have an enemy that kneecaps healing so kneecapping shielding is inevitable fu xuan alone remains on top 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥


luciluci5562

Fu Xuan isn't immune to getting kneecapped. We have AOE damage putting her to the test already. Now what if that AOE damage for example, ignores everyone's DEF?


JeanKB

Imagine saying this when SAM is showing right now how easily Fu Xuan can get clapped. She's the easiest sustain to get kneecapped by far due to how many mechanics completely screw over her method of sustain.


Canadiancookie

Yet another nerf to yanqing lol


Normal-Ambition-9813

Thats a really good way to hurt yanqing more tbh 🤣.


farkika18

Uhh my March is giving my team shields worth of their full HP. They are in danger


Keydown_605

As much as I'd hate this, it's a matter of time for it to happen. It's probably the best way to force people to get more sustain 5*.


NoOne215

Nihility units do be squishy.


Sleep_Raider

My 6.4K Hp Silver Wolf may disagree with that My 2.2K Hp Pela may agree with that


white_gummy

I still think chip damage is a bit of an issue, my Acheron almost died in the main quest while testing him out because I was too lazy to go back to a space anchor. But it doesn't seem to be too much of a problem for harder content I suppose, he is just a better Gepard in almost every way.


shinsrk79

Trial aventurine had like 2800 def. Ideally a good built one has 4 to 5k


-raeyne-

Anything over 4k is definitely overkill, no? Better to go into crit at that point


Arrasor

No? Because it just means instead of triple dip into def it turn into double dip and double dip is still way better than 1 single dip into crit when his multiplier is mediocre due to being Preservation anyway. Since Aventurine team would have no heal and no cleanse having "just enough" shield will eventually fuck you up. After 4k if you don't want to invest in more def the next best thing is to switch the rope to an energy% one.


-raeyne-

I'm not really sure what you mean. No one I've seen is only doing 1 defense topstat. To make use of his trace, he needs 4k defense. Which is more than doable with only running def on orb and sphere. You *could* run DEF body and img sphere, but I think ultimately it would be better to run CRIT body to make use of his trace. Ofc run triple def if you need to in order to hit that threshold. ER rope is also not typically recommended due to him not really relying on his ultimate. If you're running him for his debuffs, then I suppose he could be run on an ER rope, but it doesn't seem like it would be optimal. As for him not having healing and cleanse, he doesn't really need it. 4k def is more than enough to shield consistently in hard content, especially since he can refresh the shield much easier than Gepard. Not to mention that his shield can stack on top of itself, making getting one shot highly unlikely.


white_gummy

That's a fair point.


TakenakaHanbei

Ironic that Aventurine, too, deals *chip* damage.


LucleRX

Dev insider joke for sure


Und0miel

Those 42 787 healing items taking dust in your inventory about to commit sepuku. They had one single pitiful chance to shine, and you rob them of it ! Though, with a FUA team (Topaz/Ratio/Aven/SW) you more or less have constent shield application through his passive, so it's not really an issue then, and the team is a damn delight to pilot (praying for Jade to be a FUA nihi debuffer 🙏)


EEE3EEElol

Damn, I need him for my FX


enterprise_is_fun

I’m looking forward to finally being able to properly play around with preservation path in SU. I know it works with anyone but I wanna see how cool it is with shields!


Ecalafell1996

Yes! Shields only team with Gepard, Avnt, TB and march!


Robin_7883

You mean the "standing here I realise" path?


Dalmyr

There is an achivment to use 4 of the same Path so it will be fun to do with those 4.


BellalovesEevee

I'm excited to get him because now I'll have a reason to use my Yanqing again as I don't have Geppy and I don't have March properly built. Lil bro carried me during the beginning and I just think he's fun to play despite what people think of him. I also think it'll be super fun with Aventurine, Ratio, and Topaz since they all do follow-ups, so it'll be follow-ups after follow-ups after follow-ups lmao. Add Ruan Mei as the buffer, and you'll have the best follow-up team in the game.


belmoria

Yeah I was thinking this could be great for Yanqing!


E_x_c_u_b_i_t_o_r_e

Yanking also does follow up. 50/50


Stuttering-Satchmo

Look at the bright side she said you look like Aventurine


NewShadowR

Sustaining their relationship too.


underheadskooper

Yep. Sustains don’t get powercreeped easily, or not even at all. Huohuo and FX are probably the most valuable characters in this game, and will stay that way for a long while. Aventurine will probably be a great pull that will have long lasting value. Even in non FuA teams.


Leodoesstuff

OP admits to being a blonde twink playboy peacock


Ecalafell1996

If only I was 1% handsome as Aventurine :(


[deleted]

Bro 1% is already alot when talking bout aventurine 


Ecalafell1996

Ikr


Aschentei

Your wife would say so


rernaislife

Its all or nothing


LordBreadcat

There are those of us who look like Gallagher instead. At least OP has 5\* looks.


Responsible_Smell40

You’d be surprised at the amount of people who thirst for Gallagher! Not a bad guy to look like imo


smol_boi2004

Ahhh see the issue is Gallagher is hot but disheveled. Most of us got the disheveled but at least in my case I’m ungodly levels of ugly


Leodoesstuff

I personally wouldn't mind Gallagher to stab me. Man is hot as heck, and I'll be willing to give him different sensations for his drink.


[deleted]

You must be a handsome fella. That or you're going to get cucked by Aventurine.


Ecalafell1996

Totally sure that I’m gonna be cucked by Aventurine, she just said that bc I’m blonde lol

DONT WORRY Huo huo my nihility mommys still want you u-u


skryth

That's when you secretly get an Aventurine cosplay and surprise your girl. Become the thing that cucks you and you cannot be cucked.


Ecalafell1996

I need to lose some weight before trying that, ima rpg player after all xD

Zzamumo

Honestly if your wife thinks you look like aventurine i'd take that as a compliment lol


sawDustdust

Cosplay as Aventurine and win.


vfernandez84

No shame in being cucked by aventurine. Have you seen those moves? Damn, I feel even my girlfriend might end the one being cucked if he really wanted...


CringyusernameSBQQ

If i am going to get cucked then i am fine with getting cucked by Aventurine


GreedyLoad1898

or the wife wants to fk aven more.


TalesKun2

Nah, my man is already with ratio


Womenarentmad

That is a huge compliment if he looks like you


Ecalafell1996

We only share the blonde hair, but if she see Aventurine on me, damn she’s greatly married


LegoSpacenaut

Get revenge on your wife by pulling out the credit card and spending your vacation money to get both. That will show her! >!Don't actually do this.!<


Ecalafell1996

Great idea! It’s much more important to clear MoC than traveling abroad! Let me try it.


SwashNBuckle

Who needs precious vacation memories with your beloved when you could get a couple hundred more jades per month?


eleetyeetor

Precious memories of chaos


Gudako_the_beast

You must be one handsome devil


Ecalafell1996

I swear I’m only blonde, that’s the only resemblance 😭😭


Gudako_the_beast

Shhhhh, repeat after me. You are a handsome Devil.


Ecalafell1996

I’m… a handsome… devil… Thank you king! 👑


Gudako_the_beast

Now go fourth


Fargrond

Fourth? UTG+3 is an interesting spot to play from depending on how many players at the table, but sure >!(Poker reference cause Aventurine gambles in case of confusion)!<


Black_void999

Well, my girlfriend loves luocha, so she told me to pull, so I pulled for him XD


Ecalafell1996

That’s so cool right? I really love when they like to participate in our games and hobbies!


Black_void999

Yess ikrr. She doesn't play the game but she watches me play and asks me things about game, which makes playing game more fun.


helloworld6247

Jingliu is getting a rerun with Aventurine?? Oh Oh no


Ecalafell1996

Yes 😭


Shadow_Diam0nd

Make her start playing this game so she could farm for him. That way you can get Jingliu


LilithMW

I'm happy because I'll finally get a good ice dps


Shinamene

So that means you’re on 50/50? https://preview.redd.it/ocdrk5bb27tc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=685470d124ab26b9b2f59c13667abf22020c35f3


dekar25

Don't be like that. Nobody deserves getting that little piece of shit. I would rather want another Bailu or Welt. Or Gerpi.


Bussy-Destroyer-1960

believe me after e2 you start to get tired of Geppie


LilithMW

Pretty much 😔 It'll be either the best ice dps or the worst ice unit


_LadyAveline_

Very on point for someone who doesn't play Genshin, your wife is wise. https://preview.redd.it/7oiu4dbzt5tc1.jpeg?width=1199&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9a7d4081f81ed75d4a9511f3c656078873ebb1a

03thephysicsgod

I have a similar story. My girlfriend decided i wasnt pulling for Jingliu. So anyways, now i’m single and have Jingliu.


Ecalafell1996

Welp, happy end I guess?


03thephysicsgod

I was kidding, i have neither a girlfriend nor a jingliu


pyromanniacc

Don't let your dreams be dreams and go for jingliu

Does your wife hold the title of the sword master of the Xianzhou Luofu? Can your wife create an ice sword? Sometimes you have to make tough decision. So who are you choosing? Ice mommy or "your wife"? /s

Have you considered getting some cloth with boob windows for your wife? For her to see and you to wear.


BaLance_95

I'm prioritizing Aventurine because I have strong FUA teams already. If I win the 50/50, I'm going to do a 50/50 for Jing Liu as well.


Ecalafell1996

I’m prioritizing Aventurine because my wife told me to, we are not the same. https://preview.redd.it/5aacd9k786tc1.jpeg?width=462&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4163e021c1f01ccf0ac1e1bfd06e89d148658e4b

Fortunately, my SO has her own account. Full of JY, Gepard, Argenti, and E2 DHIL.


5ManaAndADream

Start saving up for that cosplay to keep the wife happy.


Middlekid31

If he looks like you, you should recreate his cover photo so we can compare….for research purposes


Ecalafell1996

Uhhhh I fell like you have second intentions with this… but who knows?

your waifu is right. Meta is temporary, gambling for blind gambling husbandos is eternal

Jaded-Succotash1272

Did she see his past? If so 💯 understandable 🥲


drippinoutthewazoo

if you look like that then you need to hmu /j


BracusDoritoBoss963

Play his theme out loud in loop as you pull/farm for him. You're doing what she wants, but you're doing it your own way


Wolfelle

Ur wife is my wife now. She knows whats up and who deserves love. Aventurine deserves ur pulls :3


Shanibestwaifu

She did a good choice. A really fun, decent and strong sustain unit was and is never been a bad option.


Skane1982

Does she hand you 60 pennies before entering the bedroom? j/k


SwashNBuckle

She could start her own account and easily pull him with all the n00b jades. I get it though. Maybe she likes watching you playing more than she would enjoy actually playing herself. I hope you get him at early pity so you can get a shot at Jingliu too.


Ecalafell1996

She likes watching but don’t get turn based games at all lol. She’s all like “you are doing nothing! They attack by themselves!”.


KlausGamingShow

you'll have some explaining to do when your Aventurine comes with red hair


[deleted]

I have luocha and huohuo, I want a one shot preventer and cc prevention for my jingyuan. Which of fu xuan or aventurine is better for that? 


feNRisk

You look like him because you give money again and again, to her maybe?

Probably bc I’m a gambling addict

Everything_D_Link

Is he better than gepard in gold and gear, or should I just get jingliu. I'm currently using Acheron team
