this is mainly about the crowfeather aoes from sara's burst and the fact that they can get varying amounts of hits on different enemies based on their hurtboxes
๐Ÿ‘€1
this is what her aoes look like, red is the initial hit, followed by orange, then yellow, then green

(probably not exact, idk if they overlap exactly that way)
but that's the basic shape
i have a c1 sara so i can get a video for the pre-c4 hitboxes but i need someone else to record with c4+

is it difficult to record? I have a C6 sara

xochiyohMon, May 13, 2024 at 04:05 PM
shouldn't be
i think it just needs one to display what it looks like with no enemies and a few against enemies of different shapes and sizes
so like a hilichurl, ruin guard, and primo geovishap maybe
wenut could be an interesting case too
maybe cast her burst then move away a bit to make sure all the dmg numbers are in frame

Whenever a linked ticket gets verified it asks if it should mark the th as completed since sometimes they could be partial completion. Dunno if people have always been properly linking them and confirming the completion

how would you tell what's marked as complete
and is there a way to manually change it w commands if it wasnt linked properly

C4+ Sara Burst AoE
===
Difficulty:
- C (Recording)

Requirements:
- Own C4+ Sara
- Be able to record Genshin

Details:
- Record Sara's Burst in a few different scenarios: 1, in a flat area with no enemies. 2, against a stationary hilichurl (ranged hilichurls recommended). 3, against a stationary large boss like the Primo Geovishap or ASIMON.
- (Optional) Record Sara's Burst against a downed Wenut.
- When recording, move backwards after using her Burst to ensure a good view of any damage numbers and the Burst's behavior.
- Any other recordings of Sara's Burst are welcome as additional information, especially multiple trials against the aforementioned stationary enemies, trials against different enemies, and any recordings in which enemies are moving during her Burst.

are these fine? i was kinda struggling on thinking of a stationary target,,
Avatar
baaconhaawkFri, May 17, 2024 at 03:57 AM
so the chart would look more like this^^
2222.png
so far it looks like small enemies like hilichurls are guaranteed to be hit by 2 of her stormcluster hits ?
i can reupload w/ better quality or get better clips if you need
Avatar
baaconhaawkFri, May 17, 2024 at 04:29 AM
true.. i'll have to see if i can get a clip w/o staggering
first clip doesn't get a stormcluster hit but does proc overload
Avatar
xochiyohFri, May 17, 2024 at 01:30 PM
oh yea makes sense
and the stormclusters happen 6 different times
37 hits total
seems like they do overlap a good bit too
i think we're supposed to have videos on yt, would u mind if i upload them and credit u, or do u want to upload them?

what else does this ticket need
Avatar
xochiyohThu, June 13, 2024 at 05:01 AM
well, hit counts for pre-c4 would complete the interpretation of the empirical evidence
but tbh i don't think it's necessary
i mainly just want to document how the aoes align
it's already obvious that c4 can result in more hits, just not obvious how often and to what extent, but :itdepends: heavily on enemy and stuff so it's somewhat meaningless for general purpose imo
ur supposed to use imgur for images right?
Finding: Sara's Burst AoEs with and without C4
Evidence: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-OmJuY3fi0EEs_uyxpON0tC2390_GHiAddeajmzQFIs/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Significance: Sara's Burst AoEs with and without C4 look like this: https://imgur.com/a/zBGCtfz. The orientation of the Stormclusters (follow-up hits) is based on Sara's position when casting her Burst, and one row will always be aiming towards that position. After the Titanbreaker hit (initial hit), Stormclusters usually* spawn 6 different times, getting progressively further from the Titanbreaker's position. Without C4, Sara's Burst has a maximum of 25 distinct hits, increasing to 37 with C4. In practical use, the actual amount of times Sara's Stormclusters hit enemies can vary widely based on enemy sizes and shapes, as well as enemy movement and displacement to some extent.

*Once, the 6th instance of Stormclusters spawning was observed to not occur. Details and cause are unknown for now.
