Shinobu Basic Mechanics ticket

Put all mechanics findings for Shinobu here. This ticket is NOT meant to be for discussion.

Shinobu Character Page: https://library.keqingmains.com/shinobu

────────────

Here are some questions we'd like answered:

1) ICD and Gauges for all elemental attacks
2) C4 proc ICD and Gauge
3) Particles?
4) A4 EM to DMG% Conversion
5) Shape of E and Q hitboxes. (Mainly, if they have any vertical range or not.)
6) Does she snapshot on E and Q?

Finding: Kuki Shinobu has a 40% chance of generating a particle on every E tick (36 particles generated from 88 E ticks in testing)
EDIT: Datamine says 45% to generate a particle, someone will need to do more thorough testing to determine which is right

First, this is an ICD test like Akane's , and second, I only count 2 swirls on the first and 3 swirls on the second Lesson: Don't rely on reaction texts or icons, use numbers 💀

Note regarding how FPS affects Q: Would like to see more footage at 30 fps, anyone is welcome to provide. This is important to determine whether 11 hits is common or rare. 12 hits is what hoyo expected, and they likely base their benchmarks on 30 fps. If 11 hits is common at 30 fps, something is very wrong.

Finding
Kuki's burst at low hp and played at a 30 fps setting appears to be somewhat RNG in terms of how many instances of damage there are per burst. Over 30 instances, an average of 11.7 damage ticks per burst was counted, with each one being either 11 or 12 ticks.

Evidence
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PvFk2bDjM1VnLFty8DTkXG9CC8LXOPpyHhE4rjQJQNM/edit?usp=sharing

Additional Notes
The footage used here had a variable ping between 90 and 110. More footage is needed at low ping to eliminate the possibility of network latency and variability in ping being a factor in this.

Shinobu Burst Count
Kuki Shinobu's burst can have as few as 7 procs on smaller enemies/those on the edge of her burst.

Frame counts:
50 - burst begins
99 - hitmark 1

135 - hitmark 3
152 - hitmark 4
170 - hitmark 5

you have to be below 50% hp to get the extended burst duration, 7 hits is normal at full health

ok so
i did calcs and it seems to be correct on the first video
second video is also correct. Edited this cause i am :Pepega: can just slap the a4 portion into the main healing formula along with the flat hp increase

Update to previous finding, @ provided some footage for low ping.

Finding
Ping does not play a roll in how many damage ticks Kuki Shinobu's burst may have. FPS still does, though.

Evidence
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PvFk2bDjM1VnLFty8DTkXG9CC8LXOPpyHhE4rjQJQNM/edit#gid=774661355

Additional Notes
Lower sample size means the average could be a fluke, but most likely not, as it lines up with the previous finding too well.
Working average of burst ticks counts is 11.71
The ping not playing a roll here should be extrapolatable to other FPS as well.

Finding: C4 is separate ICD than skill.

Evidence: https://youtu.be/KXMqiHhOr1w

Significance: More viable in overload teams. From 5 overloads per skill duration at C0 to 9 at C4.

I don't know if this is good enuf evidence or not. but 9 overload procs during E duration.

So this would avarage out as a extra 1.5 energy gain per E? Not bad.
The targeting of her Burst seems to be chosen at the start, so if the nearest target dashes away after you pressed Q, she will still target them. Can anyone confirm that? Just got screwed over by that during an abyss testing.
