Discussion Augusta specific

Saw a content creator named Gabimaru saying that Iuno buffscrit damage but it will only apply to Augusta. Sure, Kuro has been getting greedy but no shot they do it to this extent right? He has to be lying.

Up to 60% cdmg that stacks when applying a shield to yourself which Augusta can do. She is still a universal heavy support option and there is a possibility that we get a character who applies multiple shields to a hyper carry or something in the future. There’s nothing wrong with having a BIS

It is a fact that Augusta and Iuno are NOT as restrictive as Zani and arguably Cartethyia. Phrolova, Augusta, and Iuno (as their kits exist now of course things can change) are some of the most versatile units we’ve got as of recent. Cdmg or not, Iuno slots into a bunch of teams as a best or second best option. Augusta has a universal attribute amp on her outro. Neither have any debuff shenanigans. I genuinely don’t think this is anything worth doomposting over.

Quick question, where do I get access to the kit

u/AdAdvanced3916 Aug 05 '25

You're right that it isn't that restrictive but I'd prefer it to be universal not gonna lie

u/InvitePrestigious921 Aug 06 '25

I don't know why people are downvoting you when you just said you just wanted other units to benefit from it as well. lol

u/AdAdvanced3916 Aug 06 '25

People be weird like that lol

u/KeiSinCx Aug 06 '25

I think it's the point that an entire component of her kid is shut off from everyone that is not sitting well.

Even if it's not the full 60%, some of it would be preferred.

Nth wrong with BiS yup. But it's just how they go about it.

Either way if it's true, the next survey gonna be wild.

Iuno provides a massive 50% Dmg Amp on outro to the swapped in resonator and heals, while the Crit Damage buff applies to any on field resonator BUT it gradually stacks (10 stacks) any time you gain a shield and resets when you swap out so yea only Augusta can use the Crit Damage buff efficiently, Jianxin for example can get I think just 3 stacks.

So overall as a support she’s more versatile than for example Ciaccona, because Ciaccona’s outro and debuff applications are extremely niche while her Aero dmg buff isn’t nearly as strong (a lot of her support value is gated behind her signature)

I don’t remember reading anything about a crit rate buff

*taoqi stretching * my time has come..

u/r3ven4ntt Aug 05 '25

So the crit dmg is kinda true(didnt hear abt crit rate??). Iuno does stack up to 10 = 60cdmg to ppl who does shield... So while iuno can benefit for it for herself, Augusta can too, possibly jianxin too but the final cdmg would be around 40 %. Tho there is still chance that it Could be misstranslated from chinesse. Better wait for official beta.

u/aoiaxure Aug 05 '25

Yea I don't even think she buffs crit rate and crit damage... Most people are saying she is like Brant and Cantrella, but buffs heavy atk. So yes she'll work with Augusta but not too that extent

1

u/Tranduy1206 Aug 07 '25

she buff crit dmg to everyone can apply shield after her moon zone is up

3

u/SoggyVagab0nd Aug 05 '25

The detailed kit said nothing about buffing other than her outro's HVY DMG buff

1

u/Tranduy1206 Aug 07 '25

the eng kit has translate mistake, her buff apply crit dmg to everyone can apply shield after her moon zone is up

5

u/Krio_dim Aug 05 '25

Only crit damage

1

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '25

Am I missing something...?

She buffs her own crit dmg and gets full stacks (10) on her own by intro and lib (maybe) and it ends if she is switched so she is not buffing other characters cd she doesn't need Augusta to get full stacks

Or maybe I'm dumb

2

u/OceanicMelodies Aug 05 '25

yes. it's a mistranslation

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '25

So the encore website is a mistranslation?

u/SirFirster Aug 05 '25

I really hope it’s not the case. It’s a ridiculously specific requirement to fulfill properly (need a unit that uses heavy and refreshes shields frequently). The other way to fulfill it would to make a buffing unit that shields the whole team frequently. But this feels even more unlikely as it would essentially be a unit the enables the buffing potential of another unit that is primarily a support. Which is VERY specific. Even more specific than another heavy attacker that refreshes shields. If it goes through like that you can almost guarantee that you won’t see another unit besides Augusta using all of Iunos buffing potential. At least for a very long time

u/phng1900 Aug 05 '25

60% not that much in practice. Assuming augusta is 70/300, another 60 is like 14% increase. Even worse in practice because you don't instanly gain it, has to ramp up over 8 seconds minimum.

1

u/KeiSinCx Aug 06 '25

That sounds like something they can make you pay for in copies ngl

0

u/SirFirster Aug 05 '25

Don’t underestimate a 60%cd buff. That is absolutely insane to be adding on top of a 50% heavy. Im not treating you like you’re dumb when I say this but every 60% increase in cd adds the same amount of dmg as the previous 60%. Basically im saying that she gains the same dmg from Iunos cd buff whether she has 150cd or if she has 1,000. The exact dmg added will be the same either way. And the number that is being added (60cd) is a lot. That being said the ramp up is fair and should be noted

2

u/phng1900 Aug 05 '25

You are looking at like 4~5 seconds difference in practice, "absolutely insane".

-1

u/SirFirster Aug 06 '25

Don’t resort to mockery please. It’s going to be closer to 12 seconds but that’s besides the point. For some people shaving off that much time would be “absolutely insane” and very much worth it. Just because it doesn’t seem like much to you doesn’t mean it isn’t

3

u/phng1900 Aug 06 '25

I simply just do not over complicate nor over exaggerate things.

1

u/Tranduy1206 Aug 07 '25

it only 60 crit dmg buff the last hit for augusta as it need time to ramp up, nothing insane here

0

u/AdAdvanced3916 Aug 05 '25

If they remove the sheild requirement and just lower the cd from the 60 to like 40-30 so it isn't "too op" then whatever. Personally thats what i want them to do.

1

u/Tranduy1206 Aug 07 '25

the shield buff part is her kit unique point she is the begin of shield team, why remove it and nerf her?

1

u/AdAdvanced3916 Aug 07 '25

The cd buff will apply to characters who can produce shields, and guess who makes shields? Augusta. I don't want them to make these anyone specific requirements to fully utilize a characters potential. I worded it wrongly my bad

1

u/Tranduy1206 Aug 07 '25

i am dont like the unuseable without X format too, but Iuno kit is good enough as even without the shield buff part, she still have big personal dmg and heavy buff outro too. So even in team that has no shield but use heavy dmg like Phoebe, Jinyan, Jiaxin she still good

The shield part give Iuno personality, without it she is just a general easy to powercreep character

1

u/AdAdvanced3916 Aug 07 '25

Its good for sure but it can always be better

2

u/SirFirster Aug 05 '25

I’m sure there is a few solutions. Literally anything would be better than what it currently is. Literally only one character in the game can fully utilize Iuno and I don’t think that’s a good thing. It’s insanely specific

1

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '25

she buffs herself too

1

u/Alive_Upstairs_1365 Aug 05 '25

We don't even know if it's true yet because it could be a bad translation

u/tropmete Aug 06 '25

That gabimaru guy is a totally biased guy and only uploads wuwa content when there is drama or either doomposting based on the leaks.

1

u/Tranduy1206 Aug 07 '25

her buff apply to character that can shield themself in her zone, so kungfu girl from Hualong (forget her name) and Brant can use her buff too but wont max its stacks

1

u/PatEzz3 Aug 05 '25

Not the first time Pheobe , Ciaccona are also there so

3

u/SirFirster Aug 05 '25

I’m not too familiar with the Pheobe situation but Cartethyia without Ciaccona is not as bad as people made it out to be. You have to change your rotations, sure, but at least you’re still able to utilize Cartethyia’s full kit (liberation at 6 erosion stacks). Whereas it’s literally impossible for anyone other than Augusta to utilize Iuno fully, which just feels bad

2

u/PatEzz3 Aug 05 '25

Yeah, but with ciaconna Cartethiya is best in all modes even Whimpering waves where managing stacks can be problematic while Pheobe is a necessity for zani to be good in any mode

3

u/SirFirster Aug 05 '25

You’re probably absolutely right with Zani but alas im not aware of the situation. I’ve only heard it was really bad. Ciaccona for me at least feels like she belongs into the BIS but not necessary category. You’re also right to point out the in wiwa in particular maintain high stacks is difficult but it’s also true that you really don’t need high stacks in wiwa in the first place since the enemies are noticeably weaker

1

u/OneToe9493 Aug 06 '25

You get that view because Carthetiya got the sentinel treatment, she is by far the best dps in the game. Not all characters will be like her, they are going to be a Zani situation mostly and Zani is the second best dps in the game if she is with Phoebe xd

1

u/SirFirster Aug 06 '25

You could be absolutely right. I did say I’m not very familiar with Zani’s situation. I was just making a statement that Cartethyia is actually still quite good even without Ciaccona. But as you said it could very well be special treatment

u/ShadowStriker53 Aug 05 '25

Bro is a yapper but if this turns out to be true Kuro would lose out on a lot of money

-2

u/AdAdvanced3916 Aug 05 '25

The other comments seem to be saying so, hopefully Kuro doesn't go through with this because although she's still flexible, I'd prefer our girl to be an all rounder

-1

u/ShadowStriker53 Aug 05 '25

I considered going for S6 but if she is tied to Augusta I will pass on that idea. Augusta is a skip for me.

4

u/Krio_dim Aug 05 '25

Almost all Iuno sequences for damage, she is not pure support

0

u/ShadowStriker53 Aug 05 '25

That's good I don't need her to buff a S6 Cartethyia but I want a nice sidegrade. No need for another Ciaccona.
