The enemy is (not) at Honnoji!

slow raft
#

if i wait a bit i could also wait for the buff where s2 gives damage mod vs sky attribute

summer hornet
#

It’s a month or two away right now, iirc?

slow raft
#

idk when the rank up is up

#

no wait im just stoopid

#

i switched up the rank ups, the sky attribute damage is first

#

we already have that

#

the buster up comes late

#

strengthening two is part ofd the next gudaguda it seems

#

anyways, ||morgan||

#

need to think of something funny

#

remove all buffs from target upon normal attack
so no stall

summer hornet
#

Btw, slight correction

slow raft
#

evil
time to try out the suplex then

summer hornet
#

It removes buffs on all attacks, or at least that’s how it worked for me

slow raft
#

well either way, im gonna stun the last phase with the mystic code i know im using

#

if i cant stall im going for the 3 turn

summer hornet
#

…they also remove 2 debuffs on themselves at the start of their turn

slow raft
#

fuck me its not end of turn

summer hornet
#

Yyyep

slow raft
#

and i do not have a taunt ce

#

no duplicate ||artoria caster|| allowed
cheems

#

its like they are trying to make this hard

idle grove
#

they would never

summer hornet
#

I was not raging several days ago for no reason

slow raft
#

so sad that habenyan does not give buff removal resist

#

and without taunt idk how i can guarantee a santa nightingale to die

idle grove
#

habeñero

slow raft
#

Anyways

#

(got super lucky on the last turn lmao)

summer hornet
#

I mean that’s just what it takes sometimes

slow raft
#

no attack on astraea leggo

#

idt ill see how far i can go in the next fight

#

wait, thinking about it, i did have a way to have taunt in that fight

#

oberon can inflict taunt

summer hornet
#

LB6.3 ||WTF took Merlin so long, you absolute ponce!!||

idle grove
#

I mean it suits him

summer hornet
#

Unfortunately it does

slow raft
#

This is as far as i go without preparing a team

#

That’s better than I did! ||I only got one down to the final bar||

Please let me know what you think as soon as you finish reading the story

#

||My heart is breaking over here||

summer hornet
#

||Once again, it bears repeating, holy schist is fairy Britain messed up||

#

||They never changed a bit||

summer hornet
#

I’m still in the story section lol, but uh

#

I think chapter 29? The marker said there would be a Lancer enemy at the end

old galleon
#

oh boy you're getting to the gauntlet

long tree
old galleon
#

||albion, barghest, bitch boi, floofy boi all in a sequence|| fight spoilers etc

slow raft
#

i have collected 160 sq in the last 9 days, free quests and story quests are op

long tree
#

The tier list of quest quarts goes for me story > free > interlude > rank up

#

Rank ups sometimes don't give you shit and they take a bit longer

slow raft
#

i think youre confusing rank ups with interludes

old galleon
#

strengthening quests always give you something

#

interludes also always give something, but they have story tied to them

remember as well that every 10 of either will give you 10 quartz

long tree
#

Aw heck might've confused em yeah

old galleon
#

but yeah they're all worth doing when you have the time

slow raft
#

true!

long tree
#

I got free time now so I'll probably go for a few more singles to try and get Morgan or more barghest dupes

#

I got a random Chiron spook so I'm happy I got a good arts archer

#

Especially a ST one

old galleon
#

good support archer

summer hornet
#

Oh okay, it was chapter 27 instead of 29 - mb

#

Just ||went through the underground cavern at the end of the world||

old galleon
#

aight yeah you're a ways off from the gauntlet then

slow raft
#

chapter 26 here, ill take a little break tho

#

might fuck around and catch up on story actually

summer hornet
#

Enjoy~!

summer hornet
#

Oh that almost gave me a full body shudder

long tree
glossy latch
#

H-how do you mispronounce it that badly

slow raft
#

on purpose

#

also holy shit Lb6 ||they really done set Britain on fire||

#

now is actually a good time to read up how that happend ig

#

press next arrow to get 7th sq piece
||merlin jumpscare||

#

I really thought they woulda been here earlier tbh

old galleon
#

lokido true manifest beaten

#

was actually pretty fun

#

uhh let's see

#

around 134m hp, and he revives three times

#

his final bar has two stoppers

#

also if you kill 2 of his bars in consecutive turns he unavoidably kills the entire party

#

but yeah effectively a 536m hp fight, which i guess puts it in superboss territory?

#

as a manifest fight it's certainly one of the harder ones, but in terms of superbosses? definitely on the easier side

#

you just bring atk debuffs and buff removal and you can feasibly win with just about anything half decent

#

azami ns isn't even a particularly great dps, but she brings the atk debuffs on her attacking skill and it does enough damage to work, so

wispy bough
#

Damn I need bennett in genshin PeepoCry

old galleon
#

generally, you don't need any one specific unit to do content

#

bennett shouldn't be an exception to that

wispy bough
#

I am currently on janky melt team

#

Bennett would make it awesome

long tree
summer hornet
#

If anyone would do that, it'd probably be Nero

#

Given the context of Fate lore she might still attack on sight tho

old galleon
#

about to try something amusing

#

gonna see if it works first

#

bad news is that my 1 turn af didn't work, probably bc my computer's too slow

#

good news is that the 2 turn kill worked instead

idle grove
old galleon
#

"secretly"

#

what

#

i could see that if this were a general video game publication but for one dedicated to rpgs?

idle grove
#

I mean if you don't play gacha like I could argue that

#

a lot of people discard gacha games as a medium for story telling because they're gacha games

summer hornet
#

^^

old galleon
#

this isn't a general video game publication

#

i'm confident rpgsite has covered gachas

#

bc a bunch of them are rpgs

#

fgo included

honest pawn
#

gacha games tend to struggle to earn any respect from non-gacha fans

#

even in something more niche like rpgsite

copper steppe
#

nasu writing the greatest video game story of all time in a gacha

honest pawn
#

because you guys are really attached to it I'll try not to skip LB6's story

copper steppe
#

its really great i promise you its worthy

idle grove
#

it is the best fgo story by far

astral drift
#

skipping any story ConcernedFroge

old galleon
#

i'm not gonna hype it up too much but i did enjoy it the most out of all of them so far

honest pawn
#

while I understand it's good and I don't want you to take it too hard

#

but I don't think that's that big of an accomplishment?

old galleon
#

part 1 had camelot and babylon for its high points, and avalon beats those for me

honest pawn
#

I can look at the story later

copper steppe
#

my second choice would be atlantis

old galleon
#

saw someone in the replies like 'this is 2 years old', which, it is, but only if you know japanese or follow fan translations

#

greece was also very good, yes

summer hornet
#

LB6 is unironically a step above even the rest of the Lostbelts

#

It's sorely lacking in Kadoc content, but the narrative, characterization and even music+special effects are an improvement over what came before

idle grove
#

traum gives us kadoc it's fine

summer hornet
#

🙏🙏🙏

#

I'm sorry if I get too loud about Kadoc but

#

He and Anastasia really left an impact on me

honest pawn
#

if you had to compare LB6 tone-wise to Fate, UBW, or HF, which would it most be like?

idle grove
#

HF probably?

honest pawn
#

shame, but I'll still give it a try

old galleon
#

i wouldn't compare it to any of stay night

#

it's its own thing

summer hornet
#

I mean the amount of twists the story has is something only HF could keep up with

old galleon
#

if you had made avalon its own vn i wouldn't be surprised

idle grove
#

yeah like it isn't too comparable

summer hornet
#

It's like almost fully high fantasy

astral drift
#

kadoc gets plenty of screentime in lb7

old galleon
#

anyway, although i take issue with the categorization that it's some 'secret' success story, the article isn't that bad

#

obv spoilers if you plan to read it

God damn, Hermes goes HARD.

summer hornet

She was the non-collab ship I focused on the most for a reason

#

so cool

long tree
#

Her ace has to be jet warrior

#

Either that or mecha phantom beast jaculuslan

turbid olive
#

Now I have to somehow retrofit her. This is too good.

#

RIP, I don't have the materials yet

summer hornet
#

It'll happen in time

#

Just gotta work towards it

old galleon
#

as a common she's comparatively easy to retrofit

#

but i'd probably hold off until doing the retrofit-related beginner missions first

#

iirc there are missions for your starter dd and portland

What day is that again?

ebon quartz

9th

summer hornet

long tree
#

Honestly tempted to skip Kafka even though I know she's good, probably gonna go for Dan or jingliu

old galleon
#

ishtar was a lot bigger and gugalanna had 2 break bars, not 1

#

really should have just given us the cq version if they were gonna do this

#

this was one of my favorite fights back in the day

#

but instead they based it on the event story version

#

bring this back you cowards

old galleon
#

actually got a chise drop from casually farming t4

#

saves me a gold bulin, i guess

#

(no i haven't invested in chise yet, for various reasons)

#

(main reason is that she's basically aquila but worse, still good, but i had already leveled aquila so i didn't see the need)

#

might do so to try out the rikka gridman meme

#

woudl also have to level yume but i'm pretty sure i at least leveled her skills earlier

#

nope i misremembered lol

ebon quartz
#

Debating if I should just rush the story and read summaries or actually play at my own pace of 3-4 missions a day.

#

@old galleon boss man you're smart what do you think?

Kind of relying on you here 😭

old galleon
#

this for fgo?

ebon quartz
#

Ye

old galleon
#

i feel like if you rush the game you're gonna hate yourself after like a couple weeks

#

you have a lot of time to get caught up

ebon quartz
#

Kk.

Yeah I took a break from playing after finishing Camelot and doing all of Babylon in I think 3 days.

#

Slowly working my way through Shinjuku right now, plan on doing all the lesser singularities first.

old galleon
#

ye i'd say that's fine

#

burning yourself out will just lead you to go on extended hiatuses, and then next year will come and you won't have enough to roll arc

#

play at your own pace; don't feel like you have to get caught up with lb6 right now or whatever

summer hornet
#

we literally have a year and a half till the next Lostbelt comes out

old galleon
#

tunguska is in december and traum is in may/june

#

but even then

ebon quartz
#

I'm not so much worried about the next lost belt, more missing Arcueid.

summer hornet
#

I think Guy said about a week ago that he got like 160 SQ in 9 days just by doing free quests and main story

#

And he's in Lostbelt 5.5/Lostbelt 6

#

even if you just log in daily, exchange for tickets and embers every month, and get caught up to Lostbelt 5 by next summer you should be set for Arcueid

#

...actually, maybe do some of the events to be safe

old galleon
#

would also suggest keeping up with events

summer hornet
#

lmao

old galleon
#

we get several good welfares coming up

#

ruler da vinci, rider liz, c martha are all great in their own rights

ebon quartz
#

I do also kind of want to join in the Lost belt discussions but that can wait xD

I know the basic concept, and it's similar to the idea behind ffxiv shadowbringers.

old galleon
#

idk what shadowbringers does but really simplistically it's alternate timelines that are all fucked in some way trying to take over proper human history, and we have to stop that

#

but there's no rush to get there right now

summer hornet
#

I'm trying to remember what little I've gleaned from the music videos and comment sections

#

Isn't FFXIV's thing that the MC is an alternate version of a failed MC from another timeline?

#

...or I guess saying it another way, that the MC failed in another timeline and has to do it right this time

old galleon
#

that sounds vaguely like the plot to another eden's apocrypha plotline except there's memory shenanigans

old galleon
#

based

ebon quartz
#

||You also covered another part of the plot, yeah||

#

Interesting concept though.

#

But with Shinjuku I'm really enjoying Holmes and Moriarty.

#

Really hope Jalter comes back :<

old galleon
ebon quartz
#

||Basically, yes!||

#

||Some differences of course, but good way to think about it.||

He is not ready

#

He's a full fledged servant just like everyone else

#

I wouldn't subject him to the Gong, mind, but he's able and willing to fight for humanity in more conventional conditions

slow raft
#

speaking of gong i saw a 500 iq start in a clear recently that required him

honest pawn
#

hmm

#

should I save up for Saber or Arjuna Alter early next year

summer hornet
#

Who do you like more / why do you want each of them

honest pawn
#

I like them both equally, Saber because I just finished Fate and UBW again and Arjuna Alter because I love the Mahabharata / they're both good buster farmers from what I hear but Arjuna Alter might be a bit better all-around and has more utility outside blasting Buster NP's everywhere because his Buster crits are terrifying

summer hornet
#

True

#

tbf though, it's not that Saber's bad (or even mediocre)

long tree
#

Arjurna just kinda looks at content and the content has this as it's only response

honest pawn
#

yeah buster farming is just kind of a premium service where you either need to get an MLB Kscope (impossible), Oberon (impossible), or max someone's 2nd append skill and since I don't have either oberon or MLB Kscope I'd prefer to have a catch-all Servant for mass destruction so I only have to max one append skill at a time

#

and Oberon would require the 2nd Append Skill anyways because you'd use something like an Aerial Drive most of the time

#

unless you 6CE clear but at that point you're a sociopath

#

and if/once I get oberon I'll be able to use more people

#

one of whom is Melusine

#

and we all know how that's gonna go

idle grove
#

or you buster farm with someone that has a 100% battery

Sorry to interrupt your LB6 LP but do you happen to have a list of future Arknights banners

#

Going to start planning more efficiently

slow raft
#

uhh

#

top of my head

#

next comes fiametta rerun, monhun collab, joint operation, hoolheyak executor alter snatalia

#

dont have a list really, i would just google "arknights upcoming banenrs"

summer hornet
#

Fiametta rerun

#

Thanks for the heads-up

astral drift
#

how many boxes are we planning on opening

old galleon
#

anywhere between 10 and 300 depending on how motivated i am

astral drift
#

im gonna try for 150+ since lv 120 needs 260m qp alone

summer hornet
#

I'm going to need quite a few myself, aye

honest pawn
#

the event doesn't give me any gunpowder, which bites but I'll worry about that later

#

I want to get at least 300 just for all the mats and QP

#

gonna need to max out some of my buster servants' skills

#

nero caster being one of them, ironically enough

summer hornet
#

Oberon, Lartoria, the inevitable Miyu, FK Gawain, and more besides

#

Plus the last bit of bond to get Emiya to bond 11, which will give me the last servant coins I need to get him to level 120

old galleon
#

2 turned shadow of the scales lmao

honest pawn
#

I'm gonna get mats for him and arjuna alter to both act as a summoning catalyst and so I don't have to grind even more once I get them

old galleon
#

if i could rematch lavoger i could probably 2 turn him now too

#

time to see if i can trivialize shadow of the swordsman

#

this was not trivial

#

but iphi immortality and tetra reviving the team was useful

#

oh right both of those clears were no af

#

melancholy aspid is definitely the hardest superboss i've actually beaten so far

#

time anti-spiral wasn't that bad in comparison, although certainly harder than the two future mythos superbosses i just did

#

i still have the warped defense superbosses and awakened amal gamal to do

#

oh right there's also shadow of the divine tree and (possibly?) shadow of chaos

slow raft
old galleon

divine tree i'm gonna try and probably fail to 3 turn

okay no it does some stupid shit turn 1

#

i'm gonna 2taf it instead

digital marlin
glossy latch
#

Well theres your issue, Licia is NA not PAL nyaruhodo

ebon quartz
digital marlin
#

oh

old galleon
#

finally beat shadow of the divine tree

#

required me to switch my strategy a bit tho

#

next up is shadow of chaos

#

game booted me upon trying to start the fight, so we're off to a great start : ^)

long tree
#

I've hit a wall with my fgo progression for now so I think I'll take a break tomorrow and then focus on Nero the next day

old galleon
#

what kind of wall?

#

absolutely fucking free

long tree
old galleon
#

no reward for beating him
i guess i already beat him before then

long tree
#

I can't just arjuna this guy

old galleon
#

as for old man, yeah i remember him being a bit of a challenge

#

this is where i would tell you to bring casters but the pool of easily accessible st casters is.....medea

#

whose np has the multipliers of an aoe np instead

#

so she's more of a utility than damage

#

if you have support sanzangs, probably take one of those and use her as an attacker

long tree
#

This is what I got as far as casters are concerned

old galleon
#

yeah probably borrow someone's sanzang (assuming you're friends and have their np), run castoria with her and a third

#

but yeah you're at a legitimate wall as far as the lostbelts go

#

old man is a fuckin nuke

summer hornet
#

Wait did you already clear LB2?

#

Oh no I'm mixing your progress up with Roast aren't I

honest pawn
#

just call me

#

yeah lol

#

I'm on LB4 rn

wispy bough
#

I just finished Liyue story fight thing

honest pawn
#

I don't know how I murdered ||Li Shuwen||

wispy bough
#

Childe got bonked

summer hornet
#

Yeah, LB2's hidden boss is tough but not that tough, especially now with Castoria on the scene

#

Skadi's fight was a little difficult, but mainly by virtue of class advantage trickiness

copper steppe
#

honestly i had more difficulty against ||xiangyu paisen boss||

#

because the man critted my team to oblivion

summer hornet
#

||Paisen, QSH and Li Schwen/the assassins|| are all tough for various reasons tbh

runic ether
#

its so good

summer hornet
#

Where is your new pfp from

#

That FK Lancelot art looks nice

runic ether
summer hornet
astral drift
#

Cute dragon

old galleon
#

purgatory mythical beast shadow killed

#

after an amount of turns i honestly didn't track

#

(it took a long time)

#

had to take a significantly more defensive bent with the usual nuke squad

#

so the problem with this thing is that there's a shitload of absorptions in this fight and if you do it wrong you can get yourself into an unwinnable situation

#

you have to kill its constituent parts before hurting the main body too much, basically

#

one of the parts absorbs everything except fire and wind, and the other part absorbs everything except water and earth

#

if any parts are alive by the time you hit one of the main body's stoppers, the main body will inherit the absorptions of any of those parts

#

so i just cheated and put an earth skill on minalca and used her as a solo dps : ^)

long tree
#

Argor I got a question

#

Has he saved his sister yet?

old galleon
#

do you want to konw the answer to tha tquestion

long tree
#

Yes

old galleon
#

does that answer your question

long tree
#

AYYYY

#

Now the second question

#

||how long did it take?||

old galleon
#

||about 3/4 of the way through part 1 iirc||

long tree
#

what do you mean part 1

old galleon
#

chapters 1-24 or 25 constitute part 1

#

then there's a bit we colloquially call part 1.5, which leads into part 2

#

part 2 is pretty big, but does have a conclusion

#

after which is the start of part 3

#

part 3 is still in progress

long tree
#

Does he at any point risk the safety of the universe just to save his sister?

old galleon
#

uhhh maybe? i don't remember the super early story with confidence to say that for sure

long tree
#

Cause if so he gets to join the table

old galleon
#

do i want to know what table

long tree
#

It's just kinda him sitting on his own at the moment

#

Imagine getting told risking the universe for you sister is a bad move by Marth from fucking fire emblem and still doing it anyway

old galleon
#

how far did you get in another eden?

summer hornet
#

...I mean technically Shirou risks the universe to save Miyu

late canopy
#

Euden does more than risk

#

He was ready to straight up hand it away at one point

summer hornet
#

Oh yikes

#

Okay yeah no, that's a step beyond 3rei Shirou

long tree
#

I legit think peak euden is top 5 strongest characters in fiction because he's just "power of friendship" but his friends don't even have to exist for it to work

long tree
#

💀

late canopy
#

The silver lining is that everyone else sees how insane he's being

#

But they sadly do not bring it up again later

long tree
honest pawn
#

gilgamesh damage after his buff

astral drift
#

Is that with or without special attack bonus

honest pawn
#

without hitting servants, and without koyanskaya power mod buff

#

it is hitting sabers/berserkers tho

astral drift
old galleon
#

you play blue archive?

astral drift
#

No I just think it's cute

old galleon
#

fair enough

copper steppe
#

i know some dudes who play ba like its a religion

#

and of course its on a server about vtubers

astral drift
#

The chibis are really well done

idle grove
#

camelot has done real damage to this game

summer hornet
#

Half the comments are like “why is he like this/this is bait” and the other half are “so real for this” and I can’t tell if they’re joking

#

And I hate that

copper steppe
#

being the child of morgan le fae (pan human history) really doesn’t help

Yup they're evil

don't expect any of the juicy gameplay news tonight; last i checked that's not gonna be until tomorrow night

summer hornet
#

if it wasn't for the fact that I'm busy and can't read Japanese, I would be tempted to tune in for the part about Samurai Remnant

copper steppe
#

samurai remnant news later too

tamamo fans are always fast

#

CU IS HERE!!

#

55% chance we're getting an Emiya of some kind here; those two are almost always attached at the hip

#

Or maybe that's not the best way to describe it, "they're destined to fight" is more apt

#

HOLY SCHIST

#

ROUND TABLE SUMMER COSTUMES ARE FINALLY HAPPENING

#

AND @toxic cloud SUMMER CASTORIA IS REALLLLL

#

First two SRs revealed are Chloe and Suzuka

old galleon
#

wait what

#

game news is supposed to be tomorrow

#

they just casually dropped summer info early

summer hornet
#

Yyyep

toxic cloud
#

Holy pog

old galleon
#

anyway i guess lasengle decided to break out the money printer

#

you know the mhx-inspired design isn't the only one she'll have

#

||also this version of castoria has 10 toes||

#

what does her np look like?

summer hornet
#

Lemme pull it from twitter

#

People are saying it's a reference to the end of LB6

old galleon
#

triple castoria system?

summer hornet
#

... actually when I look back at it I think I can see ||the center of the planet where they make the sacred sword||

old galleon
#

good lord

#

||the one shot looks a lot like arc ascension 3 np too||

summer hornet
#

YYYEP

old galleon
#

well i know what my next target is

#

2 years to save up

#

||assuming we stay 2 years behind||

#

if i get all free quartz accessible between now and, say, july 3 2025, will i have enough to have good odds at np5 castoria?

#

i'm sitting on like a bit over 30 right now iirc

#

so at the very least i'm looking at what, 120 tickets from shop? plus whatever from campaigns and shit

#

and then quartz is gonna be a bunch from story, logins, events

#

i don't have accurate information to plug in all unknowns but it's telling me i'll have somewhere around 1500 effective quartz by then

#

ignoring those unknowns

#

it'll be tight

#

and i'll have ot completely skip all of arc/ibuki/etc

summer hornet
#

That's a big commitment

old galleon
#

it is, but as good as they all are, they don't feel as bad for me to miss as missing koyan and oberon would have

#

so after 550 rolls (which should be the amount after 1500 quartz worth of 11 rolls), the odds of at least np5 are 44.9%

old galleon
#

so with them revealing a big money maker on day 1 of the festival, ||the anni servant has to be olga, right?||

#

like they'd have to do some serious trolling for it not to be her at this point

#

should also have ||s morgan|| in the summer event somewhere, right?

#

inb4 she ends up being the welfare

old galleon
#

bored, so gonna speculate on s castoria's class before it inevitably gets revealed tomorrow

#
  1. saber: obvious reasons
  2. caster: would be a curveball, but fitting considering the apparent context of the character
  3. ruler: i'm not gonna pretend this is anything other than weapons grade copium, but something about her role in lb6 has me thinking this is possible
#

||4. pretender: s castoria is actually morgan pretending to be castoria for reasons unknown||

long tree
#

I don't think 4 meets the class requirement

#

THERE WE GO

oh fuvk theres a merlin banner too, i kinda want to pull

#

I was gonna use my log in ticket as YOLO on Merlin but went "eh I sunk enough into Morgan maybe I'll get another barghest dupe"

#

And the queen herself came home

Main story, simulated universe, and the Belobog "defend the frontier" missions are pretty much it

summer hornet
#

We didn’t lose

#

We were just up against an opponent that defied common sense

old galleon
#

she got 4th place and beat bb

#

that counts for something

long tree
#

What is this voting for

slow raft
#

its not voting, its the summer servants that got leveled up to 120 the most

old galleon
#

^

#

all of the top 4 are arts loopers

old galleon
summer hornet
old galleon
#

also got people saying ||she'll be pretender because she has 10 toes||

summer hornet
#

lmao I saw that too

glossy latch
#

Damn Sampo actually looks good in a suit

slow raft
#

i thought it was shinji until i saw the bomb

summer hornet
#

yeah, I can see it

#

the hair is a different shade of blue, and the face looks younger than what I'd normally expect from Sampo

idle grove
summer hornet
#

LB6.3 ||oh this Albion boss fight is wild||

#

||super messed up that basically all of the Tam Lin ended up either causing or becoming a Calamity tho||

idle grove
#

||tam lin?||

old galleon
idle grove
#

||oh. what a weird translation||

old galleon
#

||it got localized as tam lin||

#

||apparently on orders from up high||

long tree
#

Anyone else get that one ad for honkai where it's a song in french for 3 seconds with random gameplay then it just cuts to black?

slow raft
#

i really want to know what the song is too

#

sounds kinda good

idle grove
#

Only HSR I've had recently is the one with kafka talking at the start

long tree
summer hornet
#

oh that's weird

long tree
#

Have the VAs singing it

summer hornet
#

I've heard the English version, but I didn't know they had a French one

#

||Managed to take out Albion in one go - Muramasa plus Nero Bride was too much to take. First checkpoint, clear!||

old galleon
#

by far the easiest of the chapter 29 gauntlet despite the unique mechanic they try to shoehorn in

summer hornet
#

joyyyyy

honest pawn
#

I forget, is fluffy boi before or after this point?

old galleon
#

after

#

||the order is albion, barghest, beryl, cernunnos||

#

actually ||beryl||is probably easier than ||albion|| now that i think about it

#

but both are pretty simple

#

||cernunnos is the hardest, followed by barghest; while barghest is a bit tricky, cerny is noticeably more difficult||

copper steppe
#

||cernunnos is simply unfair||

summer hornet
#

||Just like the LB6.3 trailer said, all it takes is the tiniest of insects... I still don't know what Oberon's whole deal is, but he's got a LOT of sht to answer for||

idle grove
#

I knew something else was weird

#

||they changed Tonelico to Aesc||

old galleon
#

||tonelico boils down to a separate video game reference while aesc is an alternate spelling of askr, which has lore relevance||

idle grove
#

||I mean from what I've read they're both just different words for "ash tree"||

#

||but yeah, Aesc being Askr is better, I'm just used to Tonelico||

old galleon
#

fair enough

#

but the ||faerie knight to tam lin change|| was definitely criticized

idle grove
#

it certainly is a change

old galleon
#

running this for exp farming for now

#

can't really be used against assassins but meh

#

probably switching over to ranmaru when she's released

astral drift
#

Summer kama?

summer hornet
#

Cost is probably a problem

old galleon
#

cost can be adjusted, everyone in back is a bond grinder

#

but i'm not pulling s kama, i already have s musashi to start with and switched off her to test other options

astral drift
#

Kama will be easier to loop with than np1 sashi for sure

#

But if you gotta save you gotta save

old galleon
#

pretty much, ye

#

s castoria saving

#

and we get ranmaru and iyo in the next year and a half so i'm not super worried about generalist arts looping in the meantime

astral drift
#

2 years deadinside

#

With some prime bait rate ups right before it

old galleon
#

inb4 castoria herself is bait

#

but hey, game news in about 12 hours

summer hornet
#

took me like 3 tries ||just to get through the beta Calamity Barghest fight|| lmao

#

||it is surprisingly difficult to keep a taunt character from dying first||

rigid pilot
#

||also what she does for us later 😭||

old galleon
rigid pilot
#

LOL RIP

#

||I heard of the glitch and I waited||

summer hornet
#

||Calamity Barghest is proving to be fairly troublesome||

#

||Almost killed her on the first run, but fell 16k HP short of the goal because Super Orion died on the second-to-last turn||

#

||Every run since then has been screwed up because of the rotating trio of debuff skills||

old galleon
summer hornet
#

lmao just did a minute ago

#

trial and error (and careful buff stacking) let me thread the needle

#

...honestly if it wasn't for both Castoria and Super Orion I would not have had a good time here

#

only reason I beat ||the second Barghest fight (the one in the forest) was because I was able to borrow a friend's Super Orion||

#

this was like 2 or 3 degrees above that, and they prevent you from using friend supports

old galleon
#

here's what i went with for her

summer hornet
#

jfc

#

||that is literally the exact same setup that drove me insane on the second Barghest fight||

long tree
#

Eat shit old man

old galleon
#

based

long tree
#

Raised up Gilgamesh caster just for the fight

#

He hits hard for a caster

old galleon
#

he's solid crit support, ye

#

only downside is his np has gimped gains since it's a 10 hit aoe arts np

#

his arts cards are like .5% and his np is half that

#

not super noticeable if you're actually using him in a farming context but using him against a solo boss, you'll notice it

#

honestly that's the approach i wish they'd taken with s valks

#

yeah their np being at .23% is fine but at least don't gimp their face cards over it

idle grove
#

lb6 spoilers but new figure prototype

old galleon
#

||give cernunnos a figure you cowards||

astral drift

old galleon
#

welcome to the lostbelts motherfucker

honest pawn

#

No lost belt can contain me

old galleon
#

good shit

long tree
#

Tree was a bit of a dick head making my Arjuna hit for 100k instead of 400

copper steppe
#

now you’re gonna go to india ball z

#

holy shit they werent lying, this lostbelt really do be long

#

Guy you going through lostbelt 6 part 1 part 1 or lostbelt 6 part 1 part 2 or losbelt 6 part 2 part 1 it lostbelt 6 part 2 part 2

the
the 580k script

#

Fgo is longer than the bible

#

let them cook

long tree
#

Lostbelt 6 is 82% of the length of the bible alone

copper steppe
#

a bible about castoria

old galleon
#

castoria: exists
degenerates: we could make a religion out of this

slow raft
#

||From my understanding, this is the equivalent of a slur in oberons eyes||

Banner is ending in 1 day iirc

summer hornet
#

how much are you up to now?

idle grove
#

The reply says it's going to be Pekora in Mash's outfit

#

not sure if that's true or hope though

slow raft
summer hornet
#

oh lol, I mean SQ for Morgan

#

I can tell how far you are in the story just by your comments

slow raft
#

Oh im good on sq brother

#

Im at like 760

summer hornet
slow raft
#

It was never about getting sq, it was always about actually witnessing her story

rigid pilot
#

Are you going for NP5? Or just guaranteeing her?

slow raft
#

Neither, just throwing a few desperation pulls at her cause i really want summer kama

summer hornet
#

I hate to say it but Morgan doesn't really get proper focus till Act 2

#

It's some hefty focus

#

made me do a near 180 on her

#

but you've got a ways to go to get there

rigid pilot
#

She was always a girlboss what do you mean?

summer hornet
idle grove
#

she certainly did girlboss and gatekeep

rigid pilot
#

and gaslight

old galleon
#

i'd forgotten this clear existed

#

pre-iphi too (so pre-minalca and sesta by default)

#

pretty heavy rng tho

#

holy song has a high chance not to trigger judgment

long tree
#

Standard banner hit pity

ebon quartz
#

I have 50 tickets for Kafka.

long tree
#

I'm at soft pity so I'm just risking the 50/50

ebon quartz
#

I actually don't know how to tell if I'm at pity or not.

long tree
#

You go onto view details on the banner, then records, and then it'll show you your last summons (5 per page)

#

If it's been 75 summons since your last 5 star, you're at soft pity, if you somehow at 89, you hit hard pity

ebon quartz
#

Gotcha

#

I think I hit it with Blade or his light cone.

long tree
#

Light cone and character pity are separate

ebon quartz
#

Oh

#

Hmm, I'll check when I get home then.

#

Well no, wait.

I haven't pulled since I got Bladie. So yeah, I'll need all I can get.

long tree
#

Good luck, if you fail at least you can rest in blades chest instead

#

(I still don't know who I'd rather pull, blade or kefka or hold for Dan)

summer hornet
#

Still saved up for Dan Heng IB right now

#

I'll do some rolls for Kafka, of course, but he's the main dish

long tree
#

Dan seems kinda busted if his gameplay teaser was anything to go by

summer hornet
#

He's gonna be super skill point intensive, but his abilities are definitely worth it

long tree
#

His ability animations are also on another level

summer hornet
#

His level 3 normal attack is basically an ult animation lol

#

Like my GOODNESS

long tree
#

Mihoyo: "I have no favourites, I love all of my children equally."
Everyone but them and Dan leave the room
Mihoyo: "It's you and by a lot."

#

(this also works if you replace mihoyo with saber and Dan with Lancelot)

glossy latch
#

Catka

#

On a sidenote, I am impressed at how terribly my luck in sim u is rn

#

Chose path of nihility, and 3 runs in a row I barely get any nihility blessings

#

I even had the seal of Nihility once

summer hornet
#

Just SU things

#

Really does wear you down after a while though

glossy latch
#

I mean

#

Normally I get average luck

#

But rn I just cannot get Nihility blessings

#

I think Ive seen 5 times as many abundance as nihility blessings

ebon quartz
#

Look right

#

I'm super glad I pulled Bladie

#

My bi ass is so happy

#

But also he's just stupid strong and fits my wind dps slot.

glossy latch
#

Ok Catka

ebon quartz
#

Honestly though I'm struggling in memory hall because I don't have a healer besides Nat.

summer hornet
#

yeah, that's another role you gotta have filled

#

getting Bailu from the standard banner was a blessing in disguise for me

ebon quartz
#

I mean my Nat is e6 and fills the role really well.

#

But you need two geared teams and it's really annoying.

summer hornet
#

That's what I mean though, sometimes you want a different healer to either take care of different situations or abuse enemy weaknesses

long tree
#

Game needs more f2p heal/shield options badly

runic ether
#

lynx soon

long tree
#

Ye but you still have to roll her

runic ether
#
  • potential she is just given for free in an event
ebon quartz
#

Yeah

runic ether
#

like yukong

#

or sushang

#

oh sushang wont be until 1.3

#

oops

ebon quartz
#

I'm slowly building up a team of Fireblazer, March, Clara, and I'll pick someone else for the last spot but just using it as a full shield party instead of heals

glossy latch
#

Tbh I dont see us getting another f2p healer

#

They want you to pull for healers

long tree
#

Nah they will they did it for genshin iirc where they gave out diona for free

#

Did take a while tho

#

(genshins also super forgiving about supports as well)

glossy latch
#

Ok I got like, 160-170 pulls by the time we get Kafka

#

I can guarantee her and have a good shot at her E1, but I wonder if I should try for her lightcone

summer hornet
#

what's her lightcone do again?

glossy latch
#

Makes enemies take more DoT damage iirc

summer hornet
#

oooooh

ebon quartz
#

Oh

glossy latch

Of course I might be wrong, its unreleased but
