So it has to be fire, water or dark
old galleon
assuming they don't want to break tradition, yes
summer hornet
…ngl she definitely looks like a wind or dark character
Maybe that’s me just judging her hair
summer hornet
Lmfaoooo
Yeah that’s about right for GBF
The weapon classification guessing game stumps me every time without fail
old galleon
i mean we have multiple axes in this game that look like swords, a sword that looks like an axe, and so on
certainly the axiest axe that ever did axe
summer hornet
True, and that’s not even getting into the katana category
old galleon
it's funny bc that's the new weapon drop from the seofon raid
why is he dropping a goddamn axe
summer hornet
Wait wtf
old galleon
yeah that's something else you missed
summer hornet
That’s from Seofon? Aka the SWORD Eternal???
summer hornet
Wait revans raids?
old galleon
yeah all those rank 200 ones taht people hate
diaspora, mugen, siegfried, seofon, agastia, and cosmos
agastia in particular is notorious
old galleon
tbf this one's actually a sword
it's also the one that caused them to nerf revans weapons
their awakenings only affect characters of the weapon's element now
well, the important components
so people can't just make a grid out of like 5 spades and whatever other nonsense anymore (unless you're in wind, then you can totally do that)
summer hornet
old galleon
apparently the next bit of story for the tunguska event is out
there seems to be no hope of them fixing the ivan raid at this point
i'll probably just get caught up a bit later then
and hope that surtr isn't already dead
copper steppe
its joever for ivan
summer hornet
The mission was doomed from the start
glossy latch
Congrats
old galleon
i swear she's taking all her cues from synth hydra
alrighty, all caught up to the time gate now
if surtr spawns in dead i'm gonna figuratively die
summer hornet
Okay, in a decision I’m rapidly regretting I have decided to attempt a Super Orion run for Ivan
I’ve gone through at least 5 redos so far
summer hornet
I was using Assassin Shiki and I could not live with my inability to get him dead in 3 turns
Current idea
old galleon
you don't have to min turn him if you can't
astral drift
i used npc ibuki 
old galleon
yeah but i used kama and shiki and had face card luck
my first run ended in disaster bc i got unlucky on the second bar
sometimes it just takes time
copper steppe
npc ibuki pulverized ivan to dust
old galleon
as for surtr, if he bothers to show up, i think i'm gonna run something like this
(i didn't get any of the ce from my fp rolls so)
undecided on if the support will be koyan or oberon
if i can't math out the nps with koyan then it'd have to be oberon
but i think it'd be fine?
now to wait an hour until the time of reckoning
copper steppe
oh yeah im gonna make my event support list
old galleon
i've gotten pretty lazy with my event supports of late
i only really bother to put event ces on castoria/koyan/oberon
bc that's all anyone uses
||until i show up with my new sekrit tek after i get their skills leveled||
summer hornet
…is this like Pekora using Arash before getting to his final scene in Camelot (the realization was heartbreaking)
astral drift
do people want the mlb 3* event CE or teatime
astral drift
ogey
old galleon
You can use Quick Power now
would be really nice for this raid in particular
since surtr has both arts and buster resistance
having her skills finished would enable me to use my other secret tech, np3 baobhan sith i got trying to roll morgan
copper steppe
im gonna use baobhan or tristan maybe
old galleon
ye both of those would be fine
astral drift
i want to use chloe but too bad
old galleon
ye i haven't seen many arts comps for this raid, mainly bc it's hard to make work while also dealing with the arts resistance
you need 2 hits to break it, but castoria np deals no damage
it might be possible to try one if you want to face card
you run chloe/lb mash/castoria, use mash 1, swap her out for another castoria, then do your usual shit, but you'd need an arts face card
of course, the comp i'm running also needs a buster face card, so it's not unique
i guess the question from there is if you can get enough damage
like iw as considering running a euryale set but idk if the damage is enough
oberon np amp goes a long way
astral drift
do people want the mlb 3* event CE or teatime
oops i meant bella lisa
old galleon
still probably event ce; the bond is more important than the qp imo
summer hornet
Yeah qp is fairly easy to farm
Bond isn't
I'll give Fairy Knight Tristan a try but I expect I'll be going full buster ape
copper steppe
BOYSS ITS SURTR O’ CLOCK
astral drift
old galleon
is that 2x skadi?
astral drift
yeah
old galleon
aight
number keeps vanishing too quickly for me to screen it but i'm doing way more than enough
(even without da vinci np rng)
astral drift
A lot of bond wasted
old galleon
yeah my setup is totally consistent, despite needing a card
i'm pretty happy with it
old galleon
all that qp finally let me go ahead and do this
aside from the obvious skadi skills, i also did attila's 2, as well as finally got bg to 100
i'll go do skadi's strengthening after raids
on a related note, does anyone want to actually use my waver? i'll be replacing him in both my normal and event supports with skadi if not
the deed is done
summer hornet
summer hornet
Okay
NP5 Santa Altera or NP2 Calamity Jane
Neither has skills leveled
Len have I ever given any indication that Quick is my primary method of choice
Especially for Archers?
old galleon
might want to reevaluate that when quick emiya drops in 10 years
summer hornet
Lmfao sure, when we finally get Emiya Lily and he’s a Quick servant I’ll concede
…course, by that point I’ll also already have Summer Skadi
old galleon
you rolling for her then?
summer hornet
Been planning for it for at least a year
As long as I can avoid getting tempted by more bait banners I should be fine for both Bazett and S Skadi, after which point I’ll mainly be saving for Summer 8
old galleon
then you get tempted by koyami and blow it all on her : ^)
old galleon
anyway i have several temptation points on my path to s castoria
- bazett
- arc
- s skadi
- GODDAMN MELUSINE
summer hornet
I told myself I didn’t need to roll, that I’d have opportunities to get Melusine on GSSRs
Next thing I knew I was 60 SQ down the drain and Percival had joined my Chaldea
old galleon
the melusine experience
summer hornet
I mean I’ll take a handsome himbo too, it’s just…. oof
old galleon
tbf percival draws a bit from his gbf (grand) counterpart in actually being pretty good
just not "best unit in his class" good
summer hornet
Yeah Percy in FGO is really good… assuming you don’t already have investments in Fionn and Summer Melt, aka two of his closest competitors
old galleon
i have np4 fionn and np1 s melt, alongside my np1 percy
but since these are lancers we're talking about, i typically don't use any of them bc lartoria based and eresh based
melu also based, but i still don't have her
summer hornet
I have like… I think it’s NP4 Summer Melt now lmao
And I really like Melt, though I also love Lartoria and Eresh
There’s just too many good farming lancers
old galleon
indeed
i just had a pretty annoying thought
what if next summer is finally the year they drop summer eresh
(while i'm still saving for s castoria)
there are roughly 2 potential servants i can think of who would make me actually waver on s castoria
- s eresh
- s medusa
might be more, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind
would be a decision
summer hornet
Are you not going for Saber Medusa?
old galleon
way too close to s castoria
if i have sufficient quartz i'd feel comfortable, then maybe
suppose i should clarify i mean summer medusa above
saber medusa is great, but summer medusa has uhhhhh go read ha
and s eresh is s eresh
i've been anticipating her for like 5 years now
man these raids are great for qp
got enough to finish off skadi's skills and do attila's 2, which depleted my stock, only for it to come back all in a relatively short period of time
feels good for a raid to actually work this time
kill count checkpoint
hope you have at least 40
summer hornet
…um… 2 and 5 for level 80 and 90 versions, respectively?
old galleon
rip
summer hornet
There’s been a LOT of theorycrafting
And I got too perfectionist over the Ivan raid and it cost me a lot of time there as well
old galleon
tbh i've done exactly 0 theorycrafting in this event so far
||mainly because i don't like prospect of having to redo the beast of cherishment fight again||
old galleon
i think i'll leave this one at 50 kills
okay, while raids were happening, granblue day 2 stream was on
and boy does it look like a doozy
so if i asked you, "gee whillikers, would you like a grand zeta?", you'd probably go, "yes please"
so there you go, g zeta
you might also be like "well, michael and gabriel are great, but maybe they could also release raphael or uriel at some point"
so there you go, g uriel
but maybe those weren't enough for you
maybe you saw another grand archangel and thought "man, this is cool and all, but where's my sandalphon fanservice"
rolled up in one with luci, because why the fuck not
but maybe those aren't too interesting, maybe you're curious about what new years has for us in terms of skins
well
you get to worship the floof, give best zombie girl a glow up, and give a little something to our gandalf expy
but maybe you're curious about gameplay shit
well for starters, dark opus weapons are getting another tier of uncap
this includes new skills, ca effects, and pendants
and these will correspond to what i can only assume is a new tier of lucilius raid, but i'm not sure that's announced yet
okay it was, i just glanced over it
this new raid will be in the super baha/hexachromatic hierarch tier of raids, so it's deep, deep endgame shit
ultimate mastery for the remaining tier 4 classes was announced, as was the next tier 5 class
which is onmyouji, and that'll require chaos ruler and yamato
not gonna bother with suptix/magfest shit and just go to the last bit i'm seeing
@summer hornet i'm specifically pinging you for this one, but i don't actually remember if you're a fan of this or not
gb's next collab is gonna be with my hero academia
now they just need to collab with bleach and boruto/naruto and they'll have gotten most of the big shonen : ^)
summer hornet
Oh shit oh fuck
Oh FUCK

Someone at Cygames does NOT want me to ever walk away from this game holy shit
summer hornet
now they just need to collab with bleach and boruto/naruto and they'll have gott...
Unironically though
They've got one of the Big Three and two of the strongest contenders for the "next generation" of Shonen Jump
old galleon
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
they apparently announced omega summon transcendence
it requires 5 sands each
summer hornet
One of five
old galleon
mhm
well you'll need 30 total, just for omegas
consider what else sands are used for
and where they mainly drop
this'll be a process
hopefully the m3s drop them
summer hornet
Okay nope
Good night, I'm not contemplating this any further
That's too much grind
old galleon
👀
oh right i only mentioned omega but the optimus summons (primal) are also getting transcendence
shouldn't surprise anyone that omega getting something means primal does too

grimnir's 100 fate episode is on some bullshit
like lecia level bullshit
it's not fun
this scenario right here is a guaranteed wipe
and it's extremely common
finally got it to work
the thing is, you need grim to have a dodge by this turn, and that's probably not gonna happen
(you need to cast it turn 1 to have it ready again by turn 7 for the second nuke)
old galleon
it is not immediately clear to me what the anni event is gonna be
they listed off just about every event they've ever run, though
some are speculating estalucia ||since msq is going to get there in what seems like the very short term anyway||
summer hornet
Yeah it definitely seems like we're getting something big and all-encompassing
They've been trying to do that for most of the recent anniversaries, but this one seems even wider scope than usual
old galleon
yeah that sounds liek the roulette experience
yuni was my first actually useful pull this cycle
looks like a fantastic full auto unit
so gw rated her low bc she sucks at burst : ^)
old galleon
note that the banner ends at a weird time, that's just to rotate christmas units out after christmas ends in japan
next gala won't be for a few days so it's safe to roll now anyway
glad they didn't lewd her

I kinda wanna talk with whoever decided to make LostWeapon Surtr as annoying as he was

New honkai event is cute but very short

Conundrum 6 done, less blessings than before but this time more than half of them were upgraded so yeah the battle went a bit too well

I think the new story in honkai has just ||justified my overall dislike of the genius society||

Why's that?
runic ether
weird takeaway from it. besides ruan mei being very much morally bankrupt
torn harbor
I'm just a few runs away before I do my unlock runs
runic ether
the pursuit of knowledge and being a genius doesnt require u to be good
long tree
Less of a dislike of their writing quality , more so a dislike of the individual’s themselves, they often just leave things like toys they no longer attend to and then claim no responsibility for when they go awry, living being, powerful artefact or otherwise
runic ether
thats just herta and ruan mei
we have no indication stephen screwllum or polka are like that
long tree
Screwlium is mostly exempt from this I agree
Screwllum though comes across as so supremely detached and reactionary I’d doubt he makes much moves to prevent himself
runic ether
if u finish the whole new event as well u notice its not from a lack of interest from ruan mei entirely its her own laser focus and why she is a genius and drew attention from nous in the 1st place
long tree
Ruan mei knows what she’s doing though and makes no moves to correct until she sees merit in the things she created
runic ether
herta is also shown to care a little bit. but i would imagine her own dettachment comes from the fact that she cant be bothered to keep an entire space station dedicated to near worship of her under control. shes a genius not a cult leader.
long tree
Among her very last lines is her considering visiting the new creations only once they exhibited unexpected behaviour, not because they are sentient beings that long affirmation from their creator
runic ether
correct. ruan mei's brain works completely different to the average human
people dont develop lifelong aspirations to recreate what amounts to angels to become a god
long tree
It’s not as though she’s a badly written character, just one that makes me hate them personally
runic ether
yes she isnt meant to be a hero or good
old galleon
runic ether
her actions are not morally correct and she is devoid of morals really
but again that doesnt make her not a genius so nous took interest
slow raft
Theres always a bigger fish
long tree
Dr ratio has me confused on if I like him or not
digital marlin
but again that doesnt make her not a genius so nous took interest
So "insane" Scientist thing?
runic ether
shes not insane
thats the cool part of her character
she is sane. and decides to take her actions anyways.
copper steppe
Theres always a bigger fish
as shrimple as that
turbid olive
Unlocked Richelieu because she always kicked my ass during Exercises.
digital marlin
Well insane is not the best word but I kinda put it in the same trope due to lack of better word
copper steppe
now we wait for the new chapter soon tm
runic ether
their pursuits of knowledge manifests in cynicism from veritas ratio into wishing others to become educated/enlightened
slow raft
as shrimple as that
i tired a barghest solo first but the last stage fucked me

Her first action when meeting the player character is to ||analyse their genetic makeup and also drug them to not only prevent them from mentioning her but to also make them forget her after a duration||
runic ether
whereas ruan mei's pursuits wants her to abandon everyone and everything else in favor of her goal (becoming an aeon)
copper steppe
did about 90 raids
digital marlin
Glad I was able to get to the last raids before Finished but I lay did 40ish runs

Of course
Still don't have a perfect word to describe those trope of scientist
runic ether
she is a type of progress excuses all sins type of person
not that she cares about said sins in the 1st place
digital marlin
The packing ethnic scientists
runic ether
we also know shes aromantic and ace since she feels no love at all for anyone or anything
she is so devoid of connections with other characters her own voicelines has her talking about herta screwllum and the trailblazer
long tree
I wouldn't be surprised if she was born a regular human but changed her own genetic makeup to be that of a long lifed species like those on the luofu to have more time for research
runic ether
no she is from the xianzhou alliance
not from the luofu specifically but from one of the alliance ships
long tree
Ah that also makes sense given her design
runic ether
she didnt live on the alliance ships much or grow up in them but she is from there

I mean if it works it works but whew what a solo
summer hornet
One day…….
There’s still so little to do once you catch up to the main story and level your characters
Doesn’t need to be Honkai/Genshin level, but at least give us something
slow raft
maybe one day we can have a battle replay feature
it was so jarring to me that that just ... wasnt a thing
old galleon
yeah it's one of those things that just about everyone wants but we aren't getting bc that'd require lasagna to do some actual work : ^)
today i have 10+gachapin
not using them until banner changes, tho
summer hornet
Wait what’s the next GBF banner?

old galleon
i mean i posted about it a few days ago

If it’s Grand Zeta I’m instarolling
old galleon
i literally just said it's grand zeta
that wasn't a typo lol
oh you mean for flash

Grand zeta first banner to make one grandillion crystals
summer hornet
Yea lol

I still haven’t gotten the Home Sweet Moon Zeta

Grand Beatrice when
old galleon
now that we have g zeta, close to inevitable
i say 'close to' since they could troll
summer hornet
They know they popped off with the Society storyline, and they know we loved it too
old galleon
remember FANTASY SIEGFRIED
summer hornet
Mannn
old galleon
fwiw i predict the banners will line up like this
flash: g zeta, ssr lowain bros
premium: g uriel, zodiac, tyra
but again, we only know zodiac will be on premium

They know they popped off with the Society storyline, and they know we loved it ...
MFs made us play phoenix wright

its fair tho, i would also react like this in the presence of the indigoat elder

reminds me of this one recruit in suikoden v where you have to sit and let this one guy drone on and on and on and on and on about the most inane bullshit and you can't manually advance his text at all or else you fail to recruit him

Ruan Mei is fun to use
And since I got bronya lightcone today aswell I generate stupid amounts of skill points with Ruan and her in team
glossy latch
Do you not get much from going 90?
runic ether
no cus shes an atk scaler
technically u do get an increase
i believe its around 1.5-2.3% damage increase
runic ether
event has story spoilers btw
glossy latch
Major ones?
runic ether
uh
i think fontaine's story quest is insanely long so yeah i doubt u would be able to clear it
before the new event
oh and u still have to finish sumeru's story quest
glossy latch
And the chasm before that 
runic ether
ohhh
yeah ur kinda far
chasm -> sumeru -> fontaine
uhhhh lowkey, the spoiler is big but its not gonna ruin the fontaine story quest
glossy latch
So be it
runic ether
welp
fucked around for e1 xueyi
i now have e1 xueyi and ruan mei
im fucked for sparkle aint i
summer hornet
playing through the Ruan Mei story update
....this lady really ||bred artificial, upgraded versions of the sentient cockroaches that nearly ENDED THE UNIVERSE||
copper steppe
she's built different me thinks
runic ether
thats what i was saying
summer hornet
||getting knocked in the back of the head by invisible Swarms SUCKS||
like she's not a bad guy
but she would definitely create Jurassic Park by accident
copper steppe
herta's world threatening zoo
runic ether
no shes definitely a budding villain
summer hornet
||OH MY GOSH IT'S DR RATIO||
glossy latch
Well if nothing else Ruan Mei is also apparently very good as a support
Also >E1 Xueyi >:[
I still have 0 Xueyis
glossy latch
Thats also why I want her tbh
summer hornet
okay boss fights be kicking my tail once again
gonna sleep on that for now, methinks
summer hornet
LMAO
nah I'm an armadillo, my tail was kicked so hard I rolled into a ball on reflex
runic ether

summer hornet
my initial team was Dan Heng IL/Bronya/Tingyun/Bailu, but Hanya has type advantage so I'm gonna finish leveling her up for this one and swap her in for Tingyun
runic ether
daniel/bronya/hanya/sustain is a strong team
summer hornet
yeah Bronya has very quickly made herself a mainstay on the majority of my teams lol
if I can only fit one support I usually opt for Tingyun over her (since my primary DPS is Dan Heng IL), but she's really good
runic ether
bronya is the best character in the game so yeah makes sense
long tree
Action economy be damned that girl can slam her rifle into the ground
runic ether
action economy do be damned bc bronya is extremely action economy efficient if built right
copper steppe
||farewell, beast born of misunderstanding||
old galleon
bruh
okay so my freebies
the free 10 gave me nothing
gachapin went 20, gave me an anubis summon dupe and mugen
despite getting 20 in gachapin, i got mukku and got another 40
which ended up being broken by a gold moon
oh also lowain is stupid
like as i expected he's a literal fucking meme
first skill literally reads 'rizz up a random other dark ally'
old galleon
imagine pulling zeta and realizing you can't use her bc joining raids with her is bugged
old galleon
should do the literally impossible and pull a g percy out of your ass on flash
peak gbf male : ^)
anyway m3 better introduce an omega equivalent to this optimus exalto nonsense they've put on kaguya and zeta's weapons

that sure was a roll
old galleon
1/75 of an illustrious and obligatory fediel summon giving you one more option if you ever touch primal dark
idle grove
you don't need the ESs
long tree
Got the trio and a random Halluel and Malluel
old galleon
you don't *need* the ESs
for hades? it's extremely desireable
otherwise what are you doing in hades that you aren't doing in omega?
thing about dark is that it's a busted element even in its f2p options
and eresh is good in both, if you have the moons to afford it
old galleon
Got the trio and a random Halluel and Malluel
grand hal mal?
long tree
Ye
old galleon
good spook
long tree
They good?
old galleon
they're decent, their weapon is very good tho
literally the weapon i just told aeri you want multiples of in primal lmao
it's lord of flames but dark, basically
old galleon
one of is usable even in omega, esp in pns grids
zeta looks good
remains to be seen how her weapon's lack of stacking with falsehood chain plays out
summer hornet
got 3 draws to use today, let's dig in
plus 15k gems that I am more than willing to spend for my favorite Society member (other than Cassius)
old galleon
don't use crystals until the last day
also note that the 000 summon probably drops on the next banner
summer hornet
000 summon?
old galleon
the lucilius/sandalphon one that's in the bubs/belial series
summer hornet
oh shoot
old galleon
next banner is looking like all of the following
g uriel
dragon
tyra
000
so on that last day, plan accordingly
old galleon
rip
summer hornet
just gotta see what the rest of the draws get me
and again, if that fails I've got a good 5 ten rolls to fall back on
old galleon
meanwhile, i'm sitting here in atum pubs trying to get some more weapons to drop
i need one more benbenet and a few more al-abads
copper steppe
plugsuit 2.0 is unlocked in the epilogue right
old galleon
should be
getting spooked by t2 weapon drops in atum is kinda annoying
just trying to get my benebenets and al-abads and the game wants to give me sword of pallas and other random shit
at least i'm getting a good stock of atum anima

@runic ether any upcoming shop 4* I should keep in mind btw?
runic ether
next month is the best one
fischl and xiangling
then february is beidou and noelle
march is xingqiu
runic ether
then the next time the shop is good is may with bennett
glossy latch
I guess Bennys constellation is the most important one
runic ether
nd lisa
then its june with barbara and kaeya again
though i would only recommend kaeya cons if ur gonna get to c6 kaeya at some point
glossy latch
Doubt it, too many Cryos as is
runic ether
basically shop rewards for genshin months that matter are january (until c6 fischl and c4 xiangling), february (until c2 beidou) and if u like noelle c6, march for up to c6 xq, then bennett up to c6 in may, and back to july for fischl/xiangling ->
glossy latch
Im guessing you dont get the 4* weapons in it basically ever?
runic ether
the only one that kinda matters is the blackcliff polearm
its a super emergency budget option for xiao
the rest are just if u literally have nothing else but bc of genshin's craft system, the craft weapons are often so much stronger since they are rather easy to refine to r5
glossy latch
Yeah Im mostly just thinking GS for Navia
runic ether
fontaine's greatsword
glossy latch
Since idk how good the event one is on her
runic ether
or just do this event
its really really goood
iirc by the numbers
verdict is the bis
right behind it is serpent spine at r5 and is better in some scenarios
then its 5 star stat stick claymores like beacon and redhorn, and wolf's gravestone
and then its the ultimate overlord's mega magic sword
fontaine's craft sword, tidal shadow, is really good too but requires navia to be paired with furina
its basically only good in furina bennett navia flex
last one to consider is the inazuma craft sword katsuragikiri nagamasa
which falls behind the event weapon bc it just has less atk
even though it has a nice skill dmg% up
if i was in your shoes right now, id go
ultimate overlord as general bis, tidal shadow so u can run her with furina, and then katsuragikiri for when u need more er ie solo goe
*geo
glossy latch
Eh I think Ill keep Furina with Wrio
