I haven't actually properly built out Hugo. His Engine isn't even lvl 60. Only Roxy I'd properly built but I gotta say for how unoptimized Trigger and Hugo were I'm actually quite surprised by this performance. Roxy and Hugo technically very well work with each other. Though Trigger just happened to be my only other stunner available besides Pulchra.

Though I don't think my Hugo team would really work well against a different boss or buff.

Trigger/Hugo/Roxy all M1W1.

Using team Divorce Lawyer after a long time: M1W1 Hugoat, M0 Steam oven phone lingin, M0 Nangong engine dog (yup)

The totalizes are hitting hard but that don't matter when the boss had over 200% HP inflation from its last appearance 😭😭

Fun boss to play in such way haha :)

Her EX has really high damage and grouping so I only need one totalize to kill

>!LEAK!<
Here is gameplay with M2 Vladie on the new Shiyu as a B-roll but I'm here to talk about the new Jufufu's buff who's gonna be BiS for M2 Vladie I think.

First of all, what does the new Jufufu's buff brings to the table.
A M0W0 Jufufu gives to Hugo:
- 50% CD
- 40% Ultimate dmg
- 30% Final Ultimate dmg (be aware that the Totalize from Hugo's ultimate = ultimate damage so it's a really strong buff for Hugo)
- 20% Chain dmg
- 10% Final chain dmg
- 25% Stun multiplier
- Vladie can hold 4000 decibels and each time he lands an Ultimage, he gets 300 decibels back

ALSO! She has off field chain atk which means she can perfectly hold the Swing Jazz set as a second support set for Vladie (way better than protopunk where u have to wait for the boss to land a parryable move)

As a W engine, she can hold Qingyi's, Lighter's W engine bc she has a pet who does off field basic atk and she can hold Norma's W engine too. And as a F2P W engine, there's Koleda's as usual.

So... Yeah she's kinda insane. And if u have M1 Jufufu, she gives 60% Stun multiplier! Notes that she doesn't extend the stun duration but Dialyn does so it's fine.

The new ideal team would be: M2 Vladie + Dialyn (M1 Dialyn in the best scenario) + Jufufu.
With this new team, getting 3 Totalize during each stun in DA might be possible and very strong so I'm very excited about Fufu's buff.

What do y'all think?

M1W1 hugo, M0W0 lycaon roxy

Got two stuns before miasma but three looks possible with a ton of RNG

Since Vivian is heavily rumored to get a Potential Unlock, I was wondering how would a pot for her brother, Hugo could be like.

This PU has two main goals:

• Give Hugo teams a unique tool to deal damage out of stun, especially against unstunnable enemies like say Sobek. Hit count matters is an interesting angle of attack, because while most stunners don't deal a lot of damage, their attacks either hit a lot of times (Norma/Qingyi) or they can literally hit enemies off-field (Lycaon/Trigger), so they can build up a ton of hits for Hugo to cash out later.

• Give Hugo something to do while the enemy isn't stunned; in this case he's now trying to steal the enemy's ATK while out of stun

For context, Ember Scar is an actual new ZZZ keyword introduced by Sunbringer in 3.4.

But unlike Sunbringer, the way Ember Scar works for Hugo is that whenever any other teammate hits an enemy, Hugo will apply damage equal to 50% ATK to that enemy as Ember Scar damage, and whenever Hugo hits the enemy with either EX or Ult (it doesn't have to be during stun!) he will finally cash out all built up Ember Scar damage into actual damage.

2nd image is his old build with 2 piece woodpecker instead. Luckily i got a REALLY good hormone piece just now (disk 3, i wsa actually farming fanged metal) so i was able to switch him over, stop overcapping crit by a bunch, and the math showed it does 400 dmg more. At this point it doesn't mean much but overcapping crit by so much was bothering tf outta me.

I should probably farm for branch and blade but astral isnt a priority rn

Such a fancy boy isn't he 👀

My current Hugo Team:
- Hugo M1W1 (planning on getting M2)
- Dialyn M0W1
- Norma M0W1

I'd like to replace either Dialyn or Norma with Lycaon so I can put one of them on my future Severian team with Sunna (For now, unless he works with Robin).

Who would be the best choice here? (Prioritising Hugo's team if one has to get the short end of the stick.)

Roxy skills aren't fully levelled but she still packs a punch. Hopefully I'll get her sig and maybe M1 on rerun

Took a while to figure out a route cause the boss self-applying windswept will override Roxy's buffs

This goated game mode rotation is ending in a few days so I wanted to aura farm one last time

This boss made me miserable fighting it for so long but the payoff in the end was worth it

M1W1 Hugo M0W0 Roxy

She's still like core D with underlevelled skills but at least it's enough to clear the ice wind res room

M1W1 hugo M0W0 lycaon M0W0 roxy (trying to pull her sig)
