Overall decision · Bear — Rally Leader

Keep Vivian for Bear — Rally Leader at the selected builds.

The recommendation uses the selected skill-aware Bear role. The progression-only model remains below as a diagnostic baseline.

Bear — Rally Leader: Strong downgrade
Yang difference: -28.59%
Star/Tier crossover: Not found

Live build comparison

Test Your Vivian vs Yang

Choose both builds and run the canonical Kingshot Intel paired Bear model.

Bear role Bear — Rally LeaderProgression + supported skills + canonical Bear-applicable Exclusive Gear. Bear — Rally JoinerSupported Expedition skills only. All Exclusive Gear stats and skills are ignored.

Vivian build Stars Star tier Exclusive Gear Skill levels

Skills: 5/5/5Canonical effects execute at this shared level where the coverage matrix marks support.

Yang build Stars Star tier Exclusive Gear Skill levels

Skills: 5/5/5Canonical effects execute at this shared level where the coverage matrix marks support.

Practical transition default: the established hero starts at 5★, skills 5/5/5 and EG5; the incoming hero starts at 4★, skills 5/5/5 and EG2. Equal investment is calculated separately.

Simulation boundary: This runs the Kingshot Intel simulation—not a remote Kingshot server battle. Chance effects are evaluated attack by attack and periodic skills follow their recorded cadence. Effects without a supported cadence stay excluded. Rally Leader uses supported Exclusive Gear data; Rally Joiner ignores Exclusive Gear and uses Expedition skills only.

What does not drive it

The result is a comparative event-simulation estimate, not a remote Kingshot server battle.
Effects without an executable cadence or validated mapping remain excluded; confirmed no-effect mechanics are recorded as validated exclusions in coverage.
Rally Leader includes canonical Exclusive Gear Expedition Lethality; unverified or unsupported EG skill effects remain excluded.

Simulation methodology

Transparent assumptions

Paired simulation

Paired normalized scenario: 100,000 Archer units at TG5.
Account Attack, Lethality, normal hero gear, rally buffs and supporting-troop damage are held at zero.
Both heroes use the same centrally versioned set of 128 paired scenario seeds.
Skills are executed at the selected level for both heroes under the Bear — Rally Leader role rule.
Rally Leader executes supported Expedition and other hero skills plus supported Bear-applicable Exclusive Gear stats and validated EG skill effects; direct Attack buffs are evaluated in their active damage window.

128 reproducible paired simulations are evaluated for each result.

Verdict thresholds

Essentially Tied: under 1%
Small Upgrade: 1% to under 5%
Moderate Upgrade: 5% to under 15%
Strong Upgrade: 15% or more
