#

ehhhh

#

then hes just another summon unit like vsjw

#

or i guess if its gazelle type

fast helm
#

8 unit in 1

primal steeple
#

thatd be fine

fast helm
vernal shadow
#

They could be actual unit summons

primal steeple
#

gazelle type vanguard unit would be heat

vernal shadow
#

Not track summons

fast helm
#

They jumping people now

primal steeple
#

its like uh

#

godly sjw from ALS

#

he summons 4 shadows to fight beside him

vernal shadow
#

Imagine cid doesnt attack, he lets the shadows work for him while he charges atomic

primal steeple
vernal shadow
#

He could spawn with alpha

primal steeple
#

im hoping they make it so he has 14 upgrades max, and gets a new shadow every 2 upgrades

primal steeple
#

placement hes his school version

vernal shadow
#

Oh ok

primal steeple
#

and like really weak lol

vernal shadow
#

Does he have a mundane man form too

primal steeple
#

school form, mundane man form, john form, and atomic form

fast helm
#

Not a big fan of jjk

#

but uh

vernal shadow
#

Sukuna vanguard when s3 airs

fast helm
#

sukuna would generate a lot

vernal shadow
#

Probably

lunar thorn
#

Probably what they meant

fast helm
#

Sukuna bout to have 10 passives

primal steeple
#

yea i highly doubt they'd shove him in the 5.5 update

vernal shadow
#

He makes binding vows mid game

primal steeple
fast helm
#

he gonna be a 1 upd

#

a f2p vanguard

primal steeple
#

he aint going to be a 1 upd vanguard

fast helm
#

I meant full upd

primal steeple
#

he'll mostlikely be an evo vanguard

#

which means permanent

vernal shadow
#

Imagine a rent a girlfriend update tho

fast helm
#

how would that even work

primal steeple
#

nah bro what

fast helm
#

they wouldn’t even be units

#

atp

primal steeple
#

you throw the girls at the monsters and they get charmed?

vernal shadow
#

You pay 3000 for a support unit and she goes away after like 3 waves

#

Or something

#

I havent seen a single person complain about rifts or dungeons being tough, maybe the mechanic is just annoying as hell cus i have to invest rr and resources into a unit for one specific stage and never again

#

drain is a status debuff

#

are we dumb or sum

#

mf said its a debuff and not a status effect

#

who lets yall into suggestions bro

delicate flax
#

He’s not wrong, they are technically different things. Status effects are like stuns and snares, debuffs are direct modifiers to stats.

primal steeple
#

Thank you, people need to realize even if that wasn't the case for other games, it can be for this one, a lot of games have their own variation of definitions to certain terms.

delicate flax
#

I will concede that early in game, there was not a lot of distinction between things outside of "immune to stun" basically, but there's been attempts and efforts to make better distinctions in things.

#

Having a degree in yuginomics is very important to knowing the differences between the terms LOL

ornate pewter
#

why is sjw the best unit in the game? If somebody could just summarise pls

#

I'm a noon

#

noob

delicate flax
#

He's just versatile. Unknown element is very strong in being immune to status effects and debuffs, his kit opens up a lot of %max hp summons on demand or just having insanely strong elite summons if you have him monarch. He's also just a unit you chip away at his obtainment. The most RNG involved in it is getting Igris, really, but otherwise, is very accessible to the playerbase

ornate pewter
#

I'm upgrading from ragna to sjw haha

#

I got really lucky and pulled monarch on him (sjw(

ornate pewter
delicate flax
#

Ragna's really strong too, just requires a little bit of team support around him. Usually a bit better in multiplayer, but he's still insane.

ornate pewter
woeful nebula
ornate pewter
#

like the other stuff I had was trash

delicate flax
#

If you have any buff units, he's very good.

#

Essentially a monarch unit on his own.

woeful nebula
#

Ask the question helpers instead

#

They will you it’s not worth spinning on Ragna the fact there are better options

delicate flax
#

You all dog on ragna for literally no reason

woeful nebula
#

Is he used for 99% of the gamemodes? No

#

There are better options

#

What makes you think a beginner like him has support units to begin with?

delicate flax
#

Yes? You can literally make a team around ragna and still hit MVPs. "Is he used for 99% of gamemodes," he's used if you want to use him. You have a wide variety of units. Use whatever you want, there's no reason not to just bring units to have fun, who cares if he's not "the best of the best"

#

Winter banner literally has one of his most important support units so there's a solid chance he does have at least that.

woeful nebula
#

this is a crazy take

#

stealing
MVPs?

#

He’s not beating Dante, or Aizen when it comes to
MVP

#

Makes me think you don’t even play the game,

delicate flax
#

I've literally made entire teams around ragna for rifts and taken MVPs with it. shrug

#

At the end of the day, he's a legitimately good unit, and if you want to roll on him and use him, you should feel free to because this is a game you can have fun with instead of mindlessly following some meta tier lists.

worldly flame
woeful nebula
#

mfs like you are the reason why beginners don’t progress a lot more quicker

#

this guy going need bleed units later on the more he progress you and you’re with the facts he need to spin on ragna? Hes not even playing for fun as he admitted to that earlier today

delicate flax
jaunty hearth
#

How often did they say they check suggestions

#

??

woeful nebula
#

Only the game manages job

#

And they forward it to them if they think it’s a good idea

jaunty hearth
#

they said daily 🙏

delicate spire
#

💔

#

he has high vertical investment potential = if u get ethereal full z+ with his meta supports

#

he can outdps anyone i think

#

for a fraction of the cost too

#

with freeze

#

💔

Upvoted

ornate pike
#

and bleed isn't as needed as it once was considering only stage with regen is tourney and some boss events

#

nothing where dps can't slam instead

crude sigil
#

Now this suggestion hasnt sense, bc devs say that status ailments immunity units shod be effected by power drain

ornate pike
unique talon
#

Well what they need is just to reword it, from units that are immune to all status ailments to units are immune to most status ailments

delicate flax
#

It’s not an issue of wording, it’s just that “status ailment/effect” =/= “debuffs”

queen sail
#

change it to "Immune to Incapacitation" since that is more in line with no stun, freeze, timestop and snare

delicate flax
#

I mean… No? Games will always word things differently and sometimes even just strangely because that’s just how they did things.

#

A lot of people run into the same sort of issue with YuGiOh and getting hung up on the whole “If vs When” thing because you’d think they’d just functionally do the same thing

queen sail
delicate flax
#

And what about the modern game and reprints where they very clearly don’t suffer from any sort of poor translation errors or anything like that?

queen sail
#

Keeping things the way they used to be
Either way this game has no such excuse

delicate flax
#

Wording is kept very deliberate and specific for intentional reasons, not “because the game is old”

queen sail
#

you are arguing against yourself by the way, that literally means this game shouldnt suck so much at wording

delicate flax
#

Same goes for “ailments vs debuffs”

#

It’s put that way for a reason.

lime pier
#

why tf is (ALMIGHTY) yhwach getting affected by ts

delicate flax
#

None of that was arguing against myself KEK

#

Because he’s immune to status ailments, not debuffs

#

Gilg and gojo have the same thing and should be getting affected, but they’re bugged

queen sail
#

Uh huh, and thats why multiple characters with the same wording are affected differently!
Please stop being a cowboy

delicate flax
#

Again

#

The same wording being affected differently is because that’s an unintended bug, probably because of the ways they were initially coded.

#

They even said it on stage about how the units that are immune and shouldn’t be are bugged

delicate flax
delicate flax
#

Nuh uh

queen sail
lime pier
delicate flax
#

I was the one who pushed for nullify to be reworded because it didn’t even make sense and wasn’t clear what it did or didn’t do before.

delicate flax
#

Ailments vs debuffs, though? That’s pretty clear to me

queen sail
soft stump
#

both are status effects

delicate flax
#

Debuffs are direct modifiers to stats
Status effects/ailments are things that otherwise directly impact your unit as a whole like stun/snare

soft stump
#

a debuff is a status effect

#

🗿

delicate flax
#

Maybe in some other places, they’re used interchangeably, yes

#

Not here though.

#

The distinction is there for a reason

queen sail
#

There is no distinction
At best there is one pop-up explaining the drain mechanic and you cant check it anywhere else ever again

soft stump
delicate flax
#

Status ailments and debuffs are two different things in AV, it’s as simple as that.

soft stump
#

they are literally the same thing

delicate flax
#

How can you say hes wrong when they make the game

#

They are literally free to make the decisions they want

#

If they want to make ailments and debuffs the same thing, they can. If they want to make them different, guess what, they have the freedom to do that

queen sail
#

Free to be wrong about language, and then everyone else is free to point out how stupid it is

soft stump
#

because he was referring to them being different as a whole

#

not in specfically AV

#

why are u straight meat riding

lime pier
#

Also uh. Why tf is kid boo immune to this, and normal boo isnt ?

delicate flax
#

I'm not meat riding, that's just how this is

#

It's literally just a design choice just like YGO's "if vs when" effects

delicate flax
#

Yu-Gi-Oh

My point is that there's wording choices there that create whole things of confusion in the community. but they're very deliberate choices

people just want it to be so they can butt heads and say "im right, the devs are stupid"

queen sail

#

debuffs are not status effects/ailments. Yhwach should be able to receive debuffs. Gojo should be able to be debuffed. VSJW should not be because unknown element is immune to both.

lime pier
#

0 robux spent

delicate flax
#

The reason why Gojo isn't debuffed is likely because when he was made, the old coders probably just said "yeah fuck it, just make him immune to everything in game"

small owl

32k dps without the transform buff

queen sail

#

Improve it all... By fixing the units and making them consistent, you're so right! That's such a good idea, thank you so much! thumbsup

#

Shit's going to be inconsistent when you swap out major parts of a dev team

#

That's why you work to fix it once you get back on track towards a future vision

queen sail
#

Too bad they chose to stick to the 1 month release schedule which they admitted is impossible to keep up with!
Don't know when you joined testing, but it'd have been nice if someone told them to keep Odyssey in development for a little longer when it's barely alpha quality

The wording could be improved too, simple as

delicate flax
#

I joined at just about 3.5, and I said Odyssey wasn't really enjoyable either before the update shipped. But I also didn't get the chance to run proper, standard runs for a feel until the day before the update, so there wasn't much time on that. I had to push to not have yen carry over fully because it was just insanely boring to just place and max all your farms before the game even started to pile up more money than you could ever spend. It is what it is now, maybe they're reworking it. shrug

#

I agree that wordings could be improved a little to give players clarity, like how nullify was entirely reworded to better explain what it did

#

tbh I think a simple change to "status effects" and "stat debuffs" would just make it easier to understand

queen sail
#

Yes! Even the smallest change could help
But you know what, I got an idea that might satisfy all sides and improve player experience at the same time.
I'll be back later, trust CatWink

delicate flax
#

I know there’s been talk of adding to enemy index to show a little bit more, like what mutators they have if any and such, but it hasn’t been very high priority

#

At the end of the day though, energy drain is still supposed to affect “status ailment immune” units and that was a very deliberate choice (that I voted against because for as much as I wanna counter the strong units, I preferred the consistency feeling otherwise)

vernal shadow
#

And once you understand it you always know whats going to happen

#

This is just an arbitrary decision because the devs gave immunity to status ailments to literally every other unit

delicate flax
#

If and when still don’t make sense to a lot of players, it’s just annoying

vernal shadow
#

Thats a problem of intelligence

woeful nebula
#

op for boss event? there's a 10:05 method with goku + aizen

#

can you do that with ragna? no you can't

#

is he used for tourney? no he is not

worldly flame
#

Ragna’s still good though

#

Just because he isn’t top 1 doesn’t make him not good lmao

proven jolt

exotic lynx
#

in any normal circumstances

#

since you cant place and upgrade only, you need to set UP buffs and what for Dmg passives

#

also he isnt imune for stun or anything that compensate this many effort to make him work

exotic lynx
worldly flame
#

Why are you using ragna in normal circumstances

#

He’s used in niche stages but in those niche stages he’s really good

small owl
#

idk emaybe bump

delicate flax
#

What are y'all on about ragna being the worst secret, no way you're fr 😭

ornate pike
#

HE is the worst to use

#

by so far

#

good luck getting clone kills when he cant hit 20k

#

max stats

#

highest it can go with passives is 20ish

#

but he is level 50 to be fair

delicate flax
#

I can think of like 5 or maybe 6 secrets that are just generally worse

ornate pike
#

stopped leveling him after i realised how bad he was gonna be

kid buu passive says "immune to status effect" apparently, he immune to stun and energy drain enemy

twilit zealot
twilit zealot
#

while saber n igris passive "immune to stun" get snared. so is the snare is debuff/stats effect.

#

if thats bug should we post bug ? thanks

proven jolt
#

Bbbb

delicate flax
#

Any units who say “immune to status ailments” and not “immune to debuffs” should be affected by energy drain

#

But because of poor and inconsistent coding/wording, some of those units are bugged to be immune to energy drain anyways

crude sigil
#

@delicate flax yo bro

#

can i ask u

#

why kid buu immune to power drain but normal not?

#

1 guy say bc normal buu bugged rn

#

is it true?

Most likely yes
