so my dark team can solo akasha but not lu woh, epic

akasha solo sounds like it'd take too long

Planned to skip Argenti but then his character trailer made me come around, but then his actual kit is kinda eh, but then again he's a five star Physical DPS...
runic ether
unless u really like argenti

I already have SW, albeit e0- part of my dilemma
runic ether
a dps is a dime a dozen and they all perform similarly (or worse) than daniel jingliu qq and seele
e1-2 wolfie does a lot for her
e4 and then e6 as well but thats for more dedicated ppl

yeah it looks like they wanted to make the 5* st arts ruler someone who wasn't completely outdone by her 4* counterpart

Oh right, there's others around the corner too... Have we gotten any confirmatio...
maybe 1.7
maybe reruns in 2.0

picked up e3 lynx, e5 asta, and e0 hanya
im now at 62 pity so i wont push more but this was successful
old galleon
ae update is live, now i get to wait 2 hours to download it
by far the biggest issue with the game, and i have my share of issues gameplay-wise, but the act of updating this game is hell
case in point, it's been like 3 minutes and i'm at 4% on the 'confirming updates' part of the process
this is standard
5.48% woohoo
sometime in the next 10-20 minutes it'll finish abruptly before doing the actual download, then it'll stay stuck on 0% for like an hour before doing anything meaningful
par the course
old galleon
sometime in the next 10-20 minutes it'll finish abruptly before doing the actual...
this turned out nearly perfectly accurate, it took 9 minutes
old galleon
second part ended up being slightly inaccurate, it only stayed on 0% for about 20 minutes : ^)
alrighty, the whole process of downloading and updating the game took approximately 55 minutes
so not quite my 2 hour estimate, but it sure felt like it
the side story intro screen has various areas of the game in octopath's style
idk if the side story will incentivize master difficulty in any way, but wryz saga part 1 has conditioned me to play the whole thing in master, so that's what i'll do
hopefully nothing here actively screws me over
looks like i'm starting with wealth, so presumably partitio
oh i see
it's gonna make me do these prologue thingies for all three
(they're also all voiced, which is a rarity for this game)
old galleon
they made aldo a ringbearer chosen lol
alrighty, gonna let anyone in here who cares to choose my adventure
i can approach the three in any order, it seems
so between partitio, cyrus, and tithi, who do i take first?
long tree
Cyrus cause he's based
old galleon
cyrus it is
aldo passive doesn't bypass octopath af mechanics rip
matters not bc my comp is good enough to do without
gonna have to watch out for possible preemptives tho
old galleon
this is a terrible idea that will backfire
also their equivalent of youtube is...sigmatube
(this is sigma district, so i guess it works, but still...)
okay so we have three people from what might as well be the dark ages, plus a wannabe princess of hell, making youtube content
i'm gonna die
(btw i can't progress in cyrus' story for now, looks like i have to do them each one at a time so i just took tithi next)
cyrus' seems to be about trying to stop a rebellion plot by this guy who's raising a monster army
tithi's is....about becoming a social media influencer
and no clue about partitio's yet, but i assume it's something about solving capitalism's problems with capitalism
copper steppe
we are so fucking back

I would say I'm jealous but I've had a brutal caster gem deficiency for years now

....Shoot, I really want to pull for Peter Strasser in Azur Lane, but she's not even that amazing. 
old galleon
we're also getting a ur event in a couple weeks
so anything between now and then is bait
strasser isn't complete garbage either, but yeah, not the greatest either
definitely wouldn't splurge on her at this time
old galleon
beat traveler's curse (octo collab final boss) on master
was a bit of a pain to figure out blind, but pretty easy afterward
at least the fight has a killer soundtrack
also fitting that since the fight makes you break its shield to win, it was the first and only fight in the collab i could actually use af lol
the trick is basically that as long as it has shield points, it literally cannot die
so you need to survive long enough to break its shields, then break its undying curse stack, then kill it
oh and also this one was from earlier but i forgot to post it
apparently a trailer for penacony was just shown?
aside from ever crisis i have never heard of any of those other games
and i highly doubt ever crisis is that good
so no surprise star rail won it
alrighty, that's the octopath collab done on master
i'll admit i killed horrors on lower difficulty bc i wasn't dealing with bullshit mechanics for those, but horrors are also totally optional and don't affect story progress at all
runic ether
wow congrats to hot guy: got railed

I imagine the game still doesn't have a skip dialogue button?

she is a raiden expy though
atm our info for characters coming
acheron: lightning nihility
aventurine: imaginary preservation
black swan: wind nihility

I guess Raiden/Xiangling could work then
With Chevreuse and ... whoever is last

Bennett, really? I wouldve expected you dont go triple pyro

rational is a good team consisting of raiden xiangling bennett and xingqiu

Lmao I randomly got C1 Razor
I was kinda hoping for a new 4*star the second time >.>

razor's c4 is his best con but c1 is really really nice
this is the game subtly telling u to play aggrarazor
razor yaoyao fischl sucrose
glossy latch
Dont have Sucrose
runic ether
fuck i forgot lol
fuck it
throw diona in there
she works
genuinely razor fischl + yaoyao is already more than enough
the 4th unit can be whoever the fuck lowkey
2nd dendro for dendro resonance, anemo to swirl electro, cryo for razor specifically bc he still does physical damage
hydro though razor is build pure em in that case
he can do kaeya for his personal damage
beidou works
oh shit if u get candace she actually works really well for him
collei can be the 2nd dendro
lynette works too ig
bennett works too but if u land overloads it can lead to unfortunate knockbacks
versed pawn
Farming Ascension mats from bosses suck
Like u done with the boss specific mats long before u got all the stones
Why can't it be like it is in starrail

marechausse fucking busted with furina

i was doing calcs on a dps mona build i like playing and
its better than the huge emblem buff to her burst
its just more damage overall
versed pawn
Free 36% crit and auto attack dmg stonks
runic ether
yeah literally all buffs to mona
her on-field vape dmg is best in her charge attacks
so ez set + the 70% effective crit rate
im unfortunately extremely spent on her upgrade mats though
fucking hell that furina and tao both want whopperflower mats
and mona does too
versed pawn
Time for a whoopercide
runic ether
no
unfort
neither chevreuse or navia do that either
chevreuse is overload support with the same conditions that nilou has but for pyro/electro
navia is just a genuinely solid dps
versed pawn
Maybe arle
versed pawn
Because marachusee so good
runic ether
so she would drain hp
there are others she is just an on-field dps herself that has a resurrection mechanic and heavy hp drain

nordic inspirations yep

Oh no
Ovven has turned into a gacha addict!

glossy latch
Less gacha addict and more "I want to be able to plan ahead"
I hate having to leave things unknown for long
Also if its norse ... why Khaenriah?
Thats not very norse
torn harbor
sounds like gacha addiction to me
glossy latch
Also wait, we already know the exact chapter structure and end of Genshins storyline?
(Without the details)
versed pawn
Man is pulling a all-nighter
glossy latch
Oh Im guessing Khaenriah is not what they called the nation themselves
But rather what it was called by ... Sumeru I assume?
versed pawn
It was big at least
copper steppe
runic ether
But rather what it was called by ... Sumeru I assume?
nah in sumeru they call it dhari
*dahri
the reason khaenria is named as such is bc the nation is actually kind of a part of sumeru
glossy latch
Thats still ... kinda confusing
runic ether
khaenri'ah is derived mostly from arabic and greek
runic ether
its a weird mix
khaenri'ah has obvious nordic inspiration
dainsleif for one
kaeya's full name is kaeya alberich which is also a nordic name in lore
glossy latch
Dainsleif, Alberich, Rheindottir
runic ether
durin and dvalin
glossy latch
Iirc from the time I read it up on the wiki there was also uh
There was a norse dragon
runic ether
dvalin settled in mondstat but i believe he was hinted to have been another of gold's creations
wait have u been told of durin's tale yet?
runic ether
hmm durin lore might be found in dragonspine or in chasm idr
runic ether
yes but nibelung isnt involved in khaenria
from what we know at least
maybe
nibelung is the dragon king that ruled over teyvat before the heavenly principles descended
when he was killed and his race routed from power, only then was the more modern world of teyvat established
runic ether
the reason some ppl think that he was involved in khaenriah is bc they think nibelung was given that name the modern name at least by khaenriah discovering his corpse and his corpse was the reason things went haywire for gold
and as a result, the abyss spread since nibelung did try and use forbidden knowlede from outside of teyvat to defeat the heavenly principles and it failed
a lot of ppl think that the leader of the abyss order is ultimately nibelung
and the main "antagonist"
glossy latch
Wouldnt that be the heavenly principles?
runic ether
yesnt
genshins writer is largely better than dangling the heavenly principles as the main antagonist and then only leaving them as the single main antagonists
*writing
the fatui are antagonistic but they have depth and a real goal to pursue and they arent entirely against us either
the abyss order... is painted as clear villains but they have (largely) valid goals and their drive is not born from evil
similarly the heavenly principles arent just villains for villains sake
we only see the heavenly principles and celestia as evil because we really dont know anything about them besides from a perspective of those they have hurt
a lot of ppl also take the lore description quite seriously about the traveler
where it mentions that ultimately, it will be the traveler that inherits celestia's throne
glossy latch
I wonder
I cant imagine they'd cap the story off in a way that forces the traveler to stay behind
runic ether
i can imagine our sibling wont survive tbh
i also think that once they finish the teyvat chapter, genshin will move on to other worlds as the traveler reclaims their ability to travel through worlds
though i personally dont think that it will be with our sibling
glossy latch
Yeah but if the traveler inherits the throne
How would they travel if theyre tied down?
runic ether
we have a sibling
i also imagine that it will involve the tsaritsa and/or the abyss order as well on that
that and
i also think even if that was the case, celestia isnt from teyvat anyways
it might even be the space ship that gets us out of teyvat lol
glossy latch
I guess we shall see
Most likely Trails finishes before Genshin does anyway so Ill have more capacity for lore
runic ether
genshin was planned
7 years in advance?
2020 was mondstat + liyue with liyue ending in 2021 with inazuma
then sumeru in 2022 ending into 2023
now fontaine which ends 2024 into natlan
which will end 2025 into schneznaya
which will end 2026 into what we assume khaenri'ah
which would end 2027
glossy latch
And then the epilogue, however long that is
Still shorter than trails overall, but pretty long
runic ether
unfortunately bc its a gacha it cant really end there
that said im guessing they have been writing into the next world's chapter post-teyvat
we already got crumbs of the worlds beyond teyvat with fontaine
glossy latch
Eh, my issue is less the fact that it would go on
And more the fact that the story lacks a bit of depth?
At least so far
Theres a lot of worldbuilding surrounding the story
But the story itself is a touch flat
runic ether
writing picks up massively with sumeru and fontaine though they def do the whole dark souls lore bits
where the story itself isnt really all that complicated
but the worldbuilding and depth of it is stupid big
and tied down in text
genshin has some 100 million words or something
idr what they had said in the 3 year anniv stream
over 10 million words
glossy latch
Words or characters?
runic ether
words
runic ether
i think so but most of it is in flavor text and story text
glossy latch
Thatd surprise me
runic ether
read item descriptions
even upgrade materials have novels in them
and the books
all those damn books
glossy latch
I did a quick check on Trails, and those are wordy games, but they still count up to only ~5 million for the Erebonia arc
runic ether
archon quests arent the bulk of it but all story quests, world quests, and archon quests and misc quests
iirc all archon quests are around 50k words with the latest ones around 60-70k
i think the word count of fontaine's aq so far is 55k and we have another 4-5 patches of story
also every character has a whole ass novel in their character stories and such
also gotta keep in mind the yappers of genshin
paimon, fischl, furina
characters that never shut up once in their life who live life in caps lock
glossy latch
Still surprising tbh
runic ether
i wouldnt be surprised if that metric is actually counting unreleased story
but i also wouldnt be surprised to see that word count being so high given how much even something small like the upgrade material jewels have some paragraphs of lore each
uhh if u want a bit of a story spoiler on how each archon quest goes

Aventurine is a maybe (gotta see his speech style and personality), Gallagher I'd put at the bottom - he's looking a little scruffy

how does maxwell's demon work in fate? can concepts become servants?

Maxwell's Demon is just in Redline basically
runic ether
weird
summer hornet
He's a real oddity because he only gets in GudaGuda due to extra high levels of conceptual BS
idle grove
the story's MC was ||sent back in time 75 years|| so you can see how sort of further out there it is in terms of fate stories
It basically is a more serious GudaGuda with how many of the related servants show up

old galleon
i tried it for another eden and it was a bit messy
but for other things it works fine
i mainly have it just in case my internet takes a shit in public and i need a backup

rare gfl player spotted
old galleon
been a couple years since i touched gfl
astral drift
gfl needs an accuracy international raifu
old galleon
granblue's story feels like it's coming to an end
so of course they'll find a way to drag it out even longer
old galleon
anyway, i've gotten my wonder to level 10 and still have no exo dagger drops bc this game hates me
and since lotto event in fgo is also happening i don't exactly have infinite time to farm it
it's been 3,000 years...

genuinely, havent had a new character come in and contribute as much as she has
at least for 4 stars
old galleon
finished my main hand dagger
probably gonna try to farm out 2 special awakened ones for the grid
old galleon
yeah so far manadiver mc is doing pretty well with this
6* luci support makes for a pretty clean full auto
copper steppe
old galleon
it's looking like i'll hit my target for exo daggers in gbf before 90+ drops in fgo
thankfully
the goal was 1 attack awakened, 2 special awakened
i have the attack and 1 of the special ones done
and i have 3 daggers left to buy in shop, plus the base for the other special awakened one
so even if i can't get any more drops, i should be good
(and i have the exo anima to finish the awakening)

Are you dual gacha gaming??
Also
I’m going to look up gamepress and such, but I desire to know what you guys say is Hoshiguma’s best skills
slow raft
most use cases its s2
defenderknights uses s3 from time to time
idk know how good s1 is from an uptime/gain perspective but most of the time i reckon that anything s2 cant tank is arts damage and more def wont help you for that either
summer hornet
gotcha, gotchaaa

Nanami 
summer hornet
Why did you say that name
old galleon
if nanami suikoden 2 were a servant, she'd be worthy of joining chaldea's big sister championship
but alas
old galleon
Are you dual gacha gaming??
not at the same time, no
i'm not doing much on the fgo event until 90+ unlocks
so i'm using the down time to do some catch up in other games
and since exo ifrit is running in gbf and the weapon is actually pretty decent, i figured why not
versed pawn
~~Why did you say that name~~
Because it's like the only character i like in pgr
Because mecha
summer hornet
no it was... nevermind
versed pawn
It's either jjk or another gacha
summer hornet
yeah it was a JJK joke
a JJoKe
Okay all the lore on these modules is super sweet what the heck
old galleon
grid looks pretty decent now
still has some improvements tho
rn i run this with colo main/250 lucifer support
luci makes sustain a lot more stable
ofc if i need more hp i can just drop some of the other weapons for more aes or scimitars or some shit
grimnir has effectively become free for me now
slow raft
Average phalanx caster enjoyer
old galleon
there's a noticeable lack of mint in that screenshot
slow raft
yeah thats why its average and strongest
anyways im broke now lmao
level 90 will do that to a man
glossy latch
Oh huh, Im just a couple rolls off of soft pity on the standard banner in Star Rail
Not even sure which one I would want now
glossy latch
Is Claras C2 that good?
runic ether
that one is so insanely good for multiple reasons tho of course dont rely on it proccing
glossy latch
Otherwise, I dont want Yangqing since he is mid, I dont need Bailu anymore I dont think
Only one I dont have that could be ok is Gepard maybe?
runic ether
gepard powercrept by fu xuan sadge
hes fine if u dont have fu xuan i guess
and sometimes u just want to prevent any damage at all
glossy latch
Which looks really good
runic ether
e1 welt is okay
glossy latch
Though it depends on if it applies once
Or on all hits
If its the latter he should do mad dps
Oh and the lightcones also are a thing
Welts wouldnt be a bad one to have
Claras too
runic ether
i think welt's would be every time he uses his skill after the ult
or basic
e1 clara is good as is her e2
runic ether
though of course if u had to pick, its bronya
glossy latch
Or does it add 80% damage to all of the hits
runic ether
ah no its the whole skill
runic ether
yea it should be a really good one
tho of course, hes just not gonna compare to raw dps until super high cons and investment anywasy
*anyways
same "problem" that silver wolf has where she can be built at e1 and e2 to have more offensive sub-stats but her traces lack crit same as welt
so they will be a bit behind the actual intended main dps characters
glossy latch
Mmh
Youd still mostly use him as a debuffer
Hed just get a good chunk of damage along the way
runic ether
yep
like silver wolf
though welt obvs lacks the niche wolf has
he still has a good break + good personal damage with e1
glossy latch
Otherwise I guess the standard banner is mostly gonna be the "4* gamba room"
glossy latch
Nice
I kinda wanna get Xueyi E6 but idk if I wanna roll on that banner that much
Welt should be really good in that break team shell enable
runic ether
xueyi will be good but idt shes necessary
glossy latch
Nah but I vibe with her animations
Plus a break team sounds fun
The only issue is that Ruan Mei is probably gonna be neccessary for that team
torn harbor
bronya eidolons are pretty crazy tho that much is obvious i hope
Agreed
(one more for my personal favourite eidolon on her, the followup one)

Damn that 1 leak that said Sparkle was first half is instantly wrong
runic ether
i believe the leak was sparkle and black swan 1st half
but idr the exact leak or it may have been a different one
mystic python
It was Sparkle first, Black Swan second
runic ether
she was leaked for a 2.x update
probably early is what ppl guessed bc of her involvement in the story along with sampo and sparkle
glossy latch
... oh shes a masked fool?
runic ether
not sure
but she is 100% involved with them
leaked screenshot showed all 3 of them together
the 3 being sparkle swan and sampo
glossy latch
Weird
My only issue with Black Swan is that she takes Sampos position in the team
And I dont wanna drop the funny man
runic ether
"A Memokeeper of the Garden of Recollection. A mysterious and elegant soothsayer.
Bears a warm smile and is willing to patiently heed the words of another, and thus uses such means as a pretex to enter "memories" and gain a comprehension over the flow of all information.
Feels strongly about collecting unique memories, yet the thoughts that guide her are hard to glean."
English Voice:
Black Swan -- Arryn Zech
runic ether
given black swan is shown now
we are not getting a 1.7
its 1.6 -> 2.0
which like thank god lol
runic ether
also tho i do think sampo will be fine in spite of and with black swan
glossy latch
I wonder
runic ether
swan/sampo/kafka/sustain
glossy latch
Kafka/Black Swan/Sustain is the clear shell
But Im not sure youd run Sampo over Guinaifen?
To have more forms of DoT
runic ether
yeah splash your choice of sampo gwen or luka as needed
depends on the breat u need imo
glossy latch
Although I guess Black Swan doesnt get Wind Shear outside of break
So its not like Sampo is antisynergistic
runic ether
ik ppl said swan > sampo but they should ultimately serve different roles
glossy latch
Sampo is mostly DoT enabler + sub-dps
Ill have to see
I guess Dr. Ratio is not really a character I need?
glossy latch
Like Ive got the quantum shell with the rotating support
Might as well have another option for the DoT team
runic ether
the only character u would be missing on the quantum shell would be sparkle
shes a 2nd bronya
glossy latch
But his banner has Xueyi, hmmm
glossy latch
Oh right that reminds me, I should finally do the story of this patch to get access to the DoT relic farm lmao
runic ether
meh the dot relic is good but not the best on all the dot characters i think
its really good on those it is good in tho
glossy latch
Its BiS on Kafka and Sampo
runic ether
ye
runic ether
luka and gui can use it but its not outright better for them than 2pc 2pc
they both wanna take a lot of turns so speed sets are better
im still missing a few messenger pieces to comfortably equip all my supports with it though
hmmmm
glossy latch
Ok Ill take care of the story for this patch tomorrow or smthg
runic ether
its kinda long btw
glossy latch
Whats the other set again
runic ether
follow up
glossy latch
And Dr. Ratio soon
runic ether
yup
ive been farming it for clara and topaz
though im likely gonna stay on 2pc 2pc for clara
since while its good she doesnt particularly care for the follow up bonus as much as topaz
glossy latch
Hm, maybe Ill roll on Ratio just for two Xueyis
I think her E1 is the most important one
2 is fine but shes most likely gonna be used in the Quantum Shell for me
And E6 is too far away to get
I guess E2 would matter if I went for a FUA shell
runic ether
honestly
i would wait and get sparkle
u can complete the quantum shell with any dps instead if u do fu xuan wolf sparkle
vs any enemy quantum weak, it guarantees ur dps will hit
glossy latch
u can complete the quantum shell with any dps instead if u do fu xuan wolf spark...
True I suppose
But idk Im not huge on her
Dr Ratio is at least fun visually, hence why Im at all considering him

hsr 1.6 banner leaks that are still subject to change:
1st half ruan mei/blade + xueyi march 7th tingyun
2n half ratio/kafka + nat hook sushang
sparkle leaked image
long tree
Damn first half banner stacked
runic ether
if its true, ill probs drop a roll or 2 for ruan mei in case i get xueyi
actually has to be 1 roll and hope i dont yet get pity
summer hornet
What's Xueyi's kit again?
runic ether
destruction carry
mostly single target with some aoe like how qq does it but a focus in weakness break
her dmg is a bit lower than qq but trades off for being great with ruan mei
qq is as well to an extent but xueyi is more tailored for ruan mei
summer hornet
Gotcha, so she really really wants that break damage
runic ether
i think without ruan mei xueyi is worse than qq and seele
with ruan mei shes competitive with qq and seele
numbers on her kit are stc of course
but atm
hope she doesnt get any nerfs or changes to her kit like hanya did
though tbf i understand the change to hanya she already is really solid now
if she was able to restore as many sp as she did before she would be crazy
summer hornet
It's more subtle rn with how Hanya works
runic ether
subtle isnt truly right tbh
hanya is really good
support tiers goes bronya >= tingyun > hanya but only by very little > asta and yukong
hmmm
i think i definitely should pull for ruan mei actually
ill see once her official kit is live
glossy latch
Xueyi is basically a break-focused DPS
Also hm
I figured shed be on Ratios banner
Now I have to consider whether to roll at all, and on whom
mental acorn
I need to visit a friend's base to finish this pinboard somebody help me out
old galleon
lottery grind is gonna have to take a break the rest of the night
i'll make sure i finish up what i need tomorrow or friday, but pokemon dlc should drop later tonight, and that takes precedence
having pretty bad luck with ce drops, though
aside from the one i got relatively quickly, nothing
so can't mlb without reducing my own efficiency rip
summer hornet
I got one drop earlier, which is enough to both MLB after the event and get 7-drop bonus when pairing with the people who were lucky enough to get extra CE drops
So I'm making good headway regardless
old galleon
i'm on 6 drop bonus despite having 5 ce bc i'm running a setup that needs a 50% ce
summer hornet
Ooof
old galleon
kintoki needs to start at 60% for my strat to work
it doesn't actually feel that bad, at least
summer hornet
NP2 Caster Nero can get by with Oberon's skill 1 to reach 50% starting charge, thankfully
old galleon
umu would be nice, if i had her
summer hornet
Wait you're not buster reloading, are you
old galleon
no
i'm using frontline only
kintoki/helena/oberon
helena goes from 30-100 t1, np
kintoki is incidentally made 100 at the same time, so he has np turn 2
turn 3, his battery and oberon's 50
(this one's in teh spreadsheet if you wanted to check it)
summer hornet
Wait Helena has a 50% battery?
summer hornet
Oh sure, I'll check that in a second
old galleon
i just realized i never pinned that rip
a bit late now since i'm sure everyone has their shit set up
lmk if you need the link
summer hornet
Did you post it in the other server?
old galleon
i posted it in here about a month ago, idr if i posted it in the other server
if i didn't, i'm sure someone else did
okay yeah i did
can just discord search spreadsheet and you should find it with ease
old galleon
yeah it makes her one of the best gacha 4* casters in the game
ofc caster gil's upgrade is even better, but can just use both as necessary
(gil gets 50% battery, split teh same way as helena's, but on one skill instead of 2)
i'm planning on using them both in future you-know-who content
gil in wave 2, helena in wave 4

I'm giving up on Peter Strasser lmao. 30 pulls and nothing. I at least got the edgy Sub, I suppose.

37 is a welfare, you can get her from running inverted orthant enough times, so if you managed to pull her, then it saves you 60 runs, i guess

been doing a lot of farming with arash and emiya on the saber node
- I can't wait for Oberon to patch out my roster
- emiya buff when
summer hornet
double Koyan + Castoria can make just Emiya work
honest pawn
yeah but I wanna use my boy's big buff on wave 3
runic ether
woah argenti is a lesbian
honest pawn
I've got him at NP2 so his damage is good but I was thinking of getting NP3 with that SR ticket next year
or NP2 salter but y'know
summer hornet
ohhh, gotcha
summer hornet
yeah but I wanna use my boy's big buff on wave 3
...yeah that's a harder trick to do if you're just going solo Emiya DPS
honest pawn
it's hard to buff the ally of justice too since giving him a battery would turn him into a typical buster gorilla
I guess maybe give him another NP buff lol
summer hornet
He's already a contender for most buffs in the game
summer hornet
And I'd say he's definitely one of the best 4* archers in the game (best 4* AOE for sure)
summer hornet
he deserves it
True!
honest pawn
honestly there's not much competition but yeah
summer hornet
like he can arts loop, can technically buster loop (or reload, whatever, it's the same thing), can get nasty crits, and if you're pairing him with Koyan he gets stacking defense buffs too
honest pawn
true
but seeing stuff like salter getting that crazy buff in JP earlier this year got me acting up
old galleon
like he can arts loop, can *technically* buster loop (or reload, whatever, it's ...
i just call it buster looping bc that's fundamentally what it is
you're using the same np again and again and again to clear waves
how the gauge is gained doesn't matter
it's still a loop of actions
if someone wants to call it reloading, then whatever, but i find it silly when certain creators are like "it's not looping, it's reloading wryyyyyyyyy"
summer hornet
You can say Plushie, it's okay
mystic python
Unless there's another new 5 star in 2.0 I'd expect Sparkle to be 2nd half
old galleon
You can say Plushie, it's okay
i wasn't actually thinking about plushie there
i think the 'wryyyyyyyyy' made it obvious i was referring to touhousniper

Assuming I’m reading right we get a free Dr. Ratio from the upcoming event?????

Yeah
summer hornet
Jfc, you guys are already winning
You don’t have to go this hard (though I definitely appreciate it!)
summer hornet
I mean they’ve already been giving out multiple 4 stars for free
IDK my mental comparison is like… giving out a non-seasonal 5* in FGO, or not having to pay for those 6* tickets in Arknights
slow raft
You could compare it to the regular free 6 stars we get in arknights as well
Ig idk how normal this is for hoyo stuff
I was just always told that genshin is f2p friendly so i assumed they get alot of units for free
idle grove
idk for genshin I see they get like 1 or 2 single rolls for award wins or anni so
seems very generous in comparison
