Bippu might be gone... but he lives in the hearts and minds of every MF scrubs.

Iirc bippu only used two purple. Idk if the blue bullet is a good idea (in thi etup at least).

If I drop the auto-charge and swap out Broad for beam guard or quick boost and I should be able to stuff 800hp after armor driving... but the damage out put per alpha drops....

I recommend you to do a single force tune on each cassette

- Drop quick boost, get beam guard
- Force+force on each weapon
- You can use low cd BS weapon for a non-stop alpha build and a bit more range.

I don't know much about Stella, mostly because I refused to touch the ones I rolled on alts, but these builds seem like they are ridiculously fat. Why the hell do you need so much HP on a long-ranged AIR type? Isn't she supposed to be a dogfighter? Long range and skirmishing AIR types are probably the only characters in this game where HP isn't a heavy priority, and she's both IIRC.

HP is extremely important in this game, especially on air since most of arts can out-range you and eat a chunk of HP. Also her delay cassette has 250 range.

Doesn't she have a railgun of some kind? Like I said, I only have a basic overview of her as a character, but I only tune heavy amounts of HP on midrange AIR's like Katalina and Thurisaz Eve, because they have to get aggravating close in order to maintain their damage at times and that means you frequently won't be able to just Air Loop away from all the things. Usually 475 is an acceptable floor.

I usually have less than 100 contribution when I use AIR types, though, so maybe I'm just a pussy ass bitch.

She has no railgun, stop posting if you dont even know any single thing abt the bot.

She has a main weapon with 40 damage, 360 range, and 520 speed. It's labeled as a "Lightning Gun."
...
Semantics notwithstanding, that's a railgun.

Anyway, that doesn't really answer the question. Given how flighty she should be and how much easier it is for AIR types to avoid damage with access to things Air Loop and the general safety of floating above the action, why would is it that you are tuning great capacity in order to afford of tuning so much more HP than the average (which I assume is somewhere between 500-575 points, based on what I've seen since coming back)?

I'm not trying to call you out, I'm trying to understand if the meta has really changed that much that you just cannot avoid getting dropped. It wasn't like that when I left.

Also, rude. I'm not pretending that I know everything about Stella or this game, so there's no need to act like I'm some asshole tossing advice down to the ignorant masses from my high horse. Especially when there was literally a question in the statement you're addressing.

No it isnt. The lightning gun has 360 range, which is not a big number, even if you want to stay safe using it, you will have to use the charge delay one everytime the cd kick in/ or when it runs out of ammo, or else the dps will just be horrible and you die doing nothing.
I already explained everything, why HP is important in this meta, why it is on Stella. It's just you ignored all of them and continued with your delusion of her being a long range air that doesn't need big HP.

with out force tuning a 30 tec stella can poke holes in just about anything... owo.... if you try hard enough. Why I have so much Hp? any amount of Hp over 550 to counter balance the low tgh is welcome. Why I kept the tgh low when I have the capa to buff it? cause I want my single CV tune to have a decent chance of procing. As per beam guard I don't even know but with the low tgh, the air protection could be useful... I guess...

Her lightning gun isn't used much (I forgot why) compared to the charge delay gun which is what usually racks her points in arena. And as it was mentioned it only has 250 range where you'll be attacking close most of the time and why more HP is needed in this situation.

And if you're asking if its that "Easy" to get dropped... 1 weapon, Antilon BS 2, Ignores CV, decent speed, good homing and on almost everything...

Because AIRs must alpha (and because Bippu).

Lightning gun isn't used cause of DPS potential. Having 2x lightning gun hits for 100+ dmg on alpha. Plus, charge delay into dual lightning causes dmg reduction along with the alpha including the charge delay. The optimum setup for 2 lightning guns is 1 charge and 2 lightnings cause 2x charge delay is a waste of cost. While having 2x hf cassetes can rack up to 100+ dmg while not having a cd for continuous dmg.

So exo you're saying 2x Auto-Charge and 1x Charge delay is better?

I...I think Exo wanted to say it the other way around ö.ö

Okay first things first, gcapa + capa is the same capa/cost/stat minus as hhcapa but it takes more mats to tune it, if you want that much capa just do hhcapa instead. I'd recommend gcapa + CV x2 over doing a 2nd capa tune though.

"but the damage out put per alpha drops...."

Due to the charge time and how tgh works your overall damage output with x2 charge delay is about the same and it saves cost.

Quick boost is probably worse than float dash or beam guard. I've never been a fan of fast recovery on airs, what statuses are you really afraid of that regularly get applied to you? Maybe homura WB? Not really worth the opportunity cost IMO but to each his own. Beam guard is good because stella's best matchup is really vs other airs.

Alcy BS is in general about the same as beezle BS, but with negative str and lots of slots beezle is much better. Your tunes in the 2nd build are also not very optimal.

Spoiler:

Same skeleton build but with 55 more hp. I know you might not have two 3s charge delay things but you are definitely missing a lot of hp. When you are going negative str don't be afraid to use some ex great tec alpha.

As far as weapon tunes go, I don't really like force/force on this girl. Hforce is the same cost but more slot efficient and the ammo loss doesn't matter too much. Though really I'd recommend at least one hrapid before any force tunes, they make a noticeable difference IMO, much more noticeable than the extra ~2-5% damage force/hforce tunes give.

Glide boost also uses different breakpoints than normal flying, 38 fly is still nice but it's not as high a priority as it is for non-glide boost airs (I went 4/35) https://i.imgur.com/HK7oApP.png

i'd say the most common status effect to be hit with on an air is charge delay from another stella.

Beezle BS is strictly better than chloe BS if you don't care about tgh (I don't). Stella BS might have some niche use for getting higher glide boost tiers, not gonna bother trying it out.

Maybe, but does fast recovery really help much with that? Stella charge delay doesn't last very long (1 second) and is constantly getting reapplied. Fast recovery only helps if you press m1 .5 seconds after it's been applied but before it's been reapplied (and you can't press m1 before that .5 seconds is up, or else you have to charge for 1 second even if the debuff falls off).

Even vs other things with charge delay they generally either aren't an immediate a threat i.e. rosso or you want to reposition instead of just fighting it head on i.e. charge delay mb arts.

Spoiler:

Thanks for the design. Mind if I take it and Tweek it? Gonna experiment with a few hp cuts to put in broad since I honestly feel blind flying without it.
