[runic ether]

it also makes me think of the kind of man he was between zero to stay night

he always had somewhat empty eyes

which is a fantastic touch

but then in the stay night flashbacks

they are dead dead

and yet he sounded happy

[summer hornet]

Zero broke him, but in saving Shirou he saved himself

[honest pawn]

Kiritsugu is pathetic but there's a sympathetic nature to him that really makes it impossible for you to hate him

irresponsible but human

[runic ether]

i hated him

but not his like overall

like if i met a kiritsugu irl i'd despise this person

but as a character it was a joy to watch

[summer hornet]

I mean if we met him IRL we'd probably be dead lol

But I get what you're saying

[old galleon]

he probably wouldn't have a reason to kill you unless you're a mage or happen to be in a hotel situated in the middle of a grail war

[honest pawn]

I'd for sure be friends with him post-Zero

[runic ether]

also i was pretty meh on tokoyomi overall until i realized what he was supposed to rep in the story

and his context when placed next to rin

[summer hornet]

Yeeeeeeah

[runic ether]

a showcase of despite being the most sane and normal person in the war (among mages), the world of magecraft in this universe is inhefently fucked beyond repair

[slow raft]

oh, thoughts on the true nature of the holy grail?

[runic ether]

i thought it made perfect sense

in fact, if it was anything but, i'd thought it would have ruined the show

since ultimately, zero's main story was about kiritsugu making the right wrong choice

[old galleon]

||angry boi coming in clutch||

[runic ether]

like, he was right in that the grail should have been destroyed

[honest pawn]

personally, I like aspects of FSN but the medium is what holds it back for me

[runic ether]

he was right about the plane hijacking

he was right with lancer and his master

but he was wrong every single time in his solution

[honest pawn]

now make it a tokusatsu and base the main inspiration for it behind a recently post-9/11 world? you have my favorite show of all time right there

[slow raft]

[summer hornet]

Penny for your thoughts on Diarmuid and his Master(s)?

[slow raft]

heres my thoughts on diarmuid https://youtu.be/zpz5WgRlGLM?si=prgz4KEOqK9rmrp6

[runic ether]

it was a bit more of the same as fsn lancer

[old galleon]

fate/cero ruined kayneth for me lol

[runic ether]

lancer and berserker in zero didnt do too much for me here

[slow raft]

tho i gotta say

[runic ether]

ultimately, they were there for saber's development

[slow raft]

volumen hydrargyrum rocks immensly

[runic ether]

which was really good

[mortal iron]

There's a family guy for everything

[honest pawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXqQc_Yr_i0

[runic ether]

the standout servant was archer for me though.
archer > rider > saber > caster > the rest

i thought i would have liked saber more

[old galleon]

he's a standout basically everywhere he shows up

[honest pawn]

the VN does saber better imo

[runic ether]

perhaps

[slow raft]

gil is one of the best but archer gil is still the lowest rated form of his for me tbh

[honest pawn]

especially stuf like ha

[runic ether]

i feel like for how popular/renowned she is

i expected more

[summer hornet]

^

[runic ether]

from fsn and from zero

[old galleon]

archer gil gets bonus points for his interaction with hakunon in her animation : ^)

[slow raft]

ruler > caster > archer imo

[summer hornet]

Caster > Kid >> Archer for me lol

[old galleon]

as for saber, her time to shine is definitely stay night

[slow raft]

i wont judge kid cause i havent watched prisma illiya outside of oath under snow

[runic ether]

this is almost exactly what my sister said too lol

[summer hornet]

I mean he shows up in HA and FGO lol

[honest pawn]

do NOT watch prillya

[runic ether]

my sister told me that

yep

[slow raft]

i wasnt planning on it

[honest pawn]

watch Cardcaptor Sakura instead

[slow raft]

i already have

[old galleon]

ruler gil
i still need to finish samurai remnant lol

[honest pawn]

[runic ether]

i have not (i probably wont)

[old galleon]

but i can't complain too much about him from what i'd played

[runic ether]

the only thing is that i remain confused as to what exactly qualifies you for a rider class actually

i kinda get it but atm it feels like its just

"we want to add a second lancer/saber/archer and they were somewhat famous for riding a horse/vehicle"

[slow raft]

alternate condition is "alot of potential noble phantasms"

[old galleon]

and by all accounts archer is just "we wanted to add a second saber and swords can be used as projectiles, so fuck it"

[runic ether]

so then gil could be a rider?

i guess this makes sense tho

[slow raft]

axtually, why is reines a rider

[old galleon]

can't she ride trimmau

[slow raft]

l-lewd

[old galleon]

and/or sima yi lore

[honest pawn]

fgo archer is a surprisingly faithful progression of the character from fsn

man can't stop being the GOAT wherever he goes

[slow raft]

but youre right, i think trimmaru trnasforms into a horse for one of the card attacks

[slow raft]

i was gonna say "wait, what vehicle does ozy have" but its just his goddamn pyramid lmao

[runic ether]

oh and also is assassin a relevant class... ever? besides sasaki's duel with saber, zero has shown that assassin is more or less fodder for most if not all servants

[old galleon]

i'd say it's pretty relevant in heaven's feel

[slow raft]

assasin is a relvent class theoretically

[summer hornet]

In a traditional/proper Fuyuki War it's as filler as Berserker, technically

[slow raft]

but it would be boring in most cases if they did their job properly

[summer hornet]

^^

[slow raft]

"kill the master" isnt half as fun as a battle between legends

thats why sasaki is the goat

[runic ether]

i think not just from a narrative sense, it's also hard to convince an audience that a larger than life hero would fall to assassin in a usual setting

[old galleon]

unless it's kiritsugu doing it

if anything you can think of him as almost like a pseudo-assassin since actual assassin is what it is

[summer hornet]

A "pseudo" "Assassin"

[slow raft]

yeah proper assasins are basically not made for confrontation with other servants(with some exceptions lmao)

[old galleon]

OFFER THY NECK

[summer hornet]

Kama and Shiki probably shouldn't count lol

[old galleon]

obligatory "shiki killing servants" discourse

but i was referring to gramps

[runic ether]

thats a name and a half circling back from melty blood

its the same shiki right?

[summer hornet]

Yeah, then my mind started considering other exceptions

[runic ether]

blue boy with glasses?

or his alt

[summer hornet]

Aye, Ryougi Shiki

Wait

[runic ether]

or the girl shiki

[old galleon]

i was referring to the one from knk, not tsukihime

[runic ether]

ryougi shiki is the one

[old galleon]

but you could theoretically switch the two

[slow raft]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/fategrandorder/images/9/9e/S109_Stage4.webp/revision/latest?cb=20220911061923

hes so cool

[runic ether]

yea whats the canon behind tsukihime/melty blood and fate?

im guessing that shiki was added to fgo

[old galleon]

ye, ryougi shiki's a year 1 servant

[runic ether]

hence the discourse

[old galleon]

they did the kara no kyoukai collab waaaay back when

but i'm pretty sure the discourse is older than fgo

since being able to see someone's death lines and cut through them to kill them is kinda bullshit

[runic ether]

cus its a whole multiverse/alt timelines?

to my understanding

[summer hornet]

FGO just evolved the discussion

[old galleon]

iirc the world of knk is supposed to be a world where servants don't exist

but people like powerscaling talk

[runic ether]

yea lol

[copper steppe]

yes multiverses exist, there a guy that can even travel between them

[summer hornet]

FGO kinda pushed the power levels of the Fate side of the franchise to a level where the Tsukihime cast couldn't keep up

[honest pawn]

Arcueid still solos everyone in the setting that isn't a LB7 spoiler tho

[slow raft]

Shivers, everytime

[old galleon]

based

[summer hornet]

Dead Apostles was the main thing Nasu was worried about, I believe?

[slow raft]

no, thats the church, silly

[honest pawn]

the only DA Nasu needs to worry about is Noel

bro is on a hitlist for concocting that... thing

[summer hornet]

But it led to them declaring Tsukihime and Fate as alternate regions of the multiverse, based on the relevancy of vampires and Heroic Spirits

And then Tsukihime Remake happened, to redefine/buff a lot of the DA and Tsukihime crew

[copper steppe]

we still have little to no info about dead apostles

we know mostly their biology

[slow raft]

do we even have the full list at this point?

[summer hornet]

we know it's different now, but we don't know them all iirc

[runic ether]

bringing it all back, what other fate shows are worth watching. i was given clear warning to stay away from prisma illya and i have heard others say awful things about the show so thats a skip

[slow raft]

heavens feel methinks

[copper steppe]

oh and for people who don’t know dead apostles are like vampires who were once human

[summer hornet]

If you wanted to watch Oath Under Snow you could, but the logical progression point is Heaven's Feel imo

[slow raft]

lord el melloi case files

[runic ether]

okay i was told about the case files thats the show with waver right?

[slow raft]

oath under snow is p solid too yea

[runic ether]

sequel show

[old galleon]

case files has waver, yes

[runic ether]

i was told that strange fake will be worth watching

but its not out yet

[old galleon]

i can't really judge the anime since, yeah, it's not out yet

but i enjoy the ln

[summer hornet]

Strange Fake is great, but you'll want to know who people are from Case Files for maximum impact

[old galleon]

so if it's a halfway decent adaptation it should be fine

[summer hornet]

The prologue episode was dropped already

[runic ether]

cool

[slow raft]

isk if id reccomend apocrypha
op is good tho

[copper steppe]

oh yeah whispers of dawn

[runic ether]

okay so then i guess i'll watch case files then

i liked waver

[honest pawn]

I'm disappointed in everyone else here for not recommending carnival phantasm

[copper steppe]

appcrypha is ok, not bad but not good

[old galleon]

case files was pretty good imo

[honest pawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62c7_zKoSV8

[runic ether]

heaven's feel will be on the backburner eventually

[summer hornet]

Babylonia also exists since you liked Gil

[runic ether]

keeping it in mind

[slow raft]

super affection

[runic ether]

the fgo based anime?

[slow raft]

yea

[copper steppe]

yep yep

[runic ether]

would i need more context before watching it?

[slow raft]

eh

[old galleon]

it probably wouldn't hurt

[copper steppe]

sorta

[summer hornet]

It's relatively standalone and defines the important stuff in the beginning

[runic ether]

i can get a lore dump before it anyways

[honest pawn]

carnival phantasm (don't abbreviate it) is more slice-of-life comedy and it features characters from tsukihime/melty blood too, it's more of a general taipu moon celebration

but it's funny as fuck

[old galleon]

batylon is kind of the last singularity before the end of part 1 of fgo

i do remember them giving a litle context but idr how much

[runic ether]

maybe at some point

i think i'd be more into new parts of the canon hence im skipping heaven's feel for now since thats the other fsn route

[copper steppe]

first ep is like a recap of things that happened in fgo iirc

[slow raft]

clearly you need to watch Today's Menu for the Emiya Family

essential for the lore, really

[runic ether]

maybe i'll see apocrypha or babylonia before too cus at this point i've been kinda tuckered out from that whole slew of servants and the same cast

[summer hornet]

!!! Oh I can't believe I forgot that lol

[copper steppe]

lol cooking emiya

[old galleon]

apocrypha is not what you want to watch if you're tired of a slew of servants

[runic ether]

let him cook

[runic ether]

same servants/casts

[old galleon]

the whole point of that is that it's a 7v7 holy grail war

[runic ether]

o

i mean

[slow raft]

https://youtu.be/xQKgbWm4GWQ?si=EAVtcbrvlUqN7oav

[runic ether]

as long as i dont see the same set of sabers/archers/assassins/riders

etc etc

[slow raft]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-jam-cat-jam-head-bounce-kitty-gif-17946989

[runic ether]

new servants/masters

is what i mean

[old galleon]

you'd get new characters, yes

[runic ether]

new characters

[copper steppe]

oh yeah apocrypha does have that

[old galleon]

although some older characters are referenced ||and even used||

[summer hornet]

I don't think there's a single returning character in the Apocrypha master/servant roster

[old galleon]

depends on how you define "returning"

there's a certain saint of france who has an appearance in a prior property

[runic ether]

okay reading the synopsis of case files i think i'd be very into this one

[slow raft]

its neat ye

[summer hornet]

Oh yeah I guess that's true lol

[copper steppe]

yeah case files is more like a detective case

[slow raft]

SASAKI KOJIROU?

[honest pawn]

THE REGEND NEVER DIES

[old galleon]

okay i walked into that one

[summer hornet]

Case Files is a much different pace from FSN and F/Z because of the whole "magic detective" angle

[copper steppe]

the real and true dragon slayer

[runic ether]

im guessing the kojirou meme is fgo related

[old galleon]

yes

[slow raft]

yea

in the france singularity there were alot of dragons wyverns

[old galleon]

the singularity of orleans (france) was ravaged by wyverns, and assassins have advantage

kojirou was a cheap, good option for dealing with the bastards

[summer hornet]

Also regend is a misreading of "legend" lol

[slow raft]

and sasaki was a 1 star and had an advantagous growth curve

[runic ether]

i figured that out yea

[long tree]

It’s also funny because they would legit grind everything to a halt just to make you fight more dragons

[old galleon]

and on top of all that, iirc the original release in jp, that singularity was a lot harder

[runic ether]

psychotic

[slow raft]

and as such, the saviour of france was born

[old galleon]

early fgo was something else

[long tree]

“We’re almost at the castle, why is there 6 more nodes in this chapter?”

[old galleon]

it's no exaggeration to say it survived in large part on the strength of the ip

[summer hornet]

Remember when Waver was actually bad? Pepperidge Farm remembers

[honest pawn]

I'm asian, I can say it, no worries

[slow raft]

still is

[runic ether]

its a good thing i have zero interest in the fgo gameplay formula

i have also heard that the gacha elements are pretty shit

[summer hornet]

you take that back

[honest pawn]

FGO has no auto-battle and there's a lot of grind

[copper steppe]

they are

[runic ether]

but its like

[long tree]

Unfortunately waver is not a waifu so he gets the ex- tier

[runic ether]

9 years old?

[old galleon]

yup

[runic ether]

shit

thats crazy

[long tree]

Yeah it’s one of the older ones

[copper steppe]

mhm primordial even

[summer hornet]

Granblue is still older but like.... That's not saying a lot

[runic ether]

i was doing lines 9 years ago and some ppl where blowing another type of bricks on a different kind of high

[slow raft]

only time im putting waver in my party is when i need another arrow for my grand archer(caster)

[copper steppe]

i remember when the term gacha wasn’t even a thing

[long tree]

0.8% rates with pity at 330 pulls (also pulls have only recently gotten easier to obtain in the last 2-4 years)

[slow raft]

clairvoiance makes it alot more bearable but still

[slow raft]

(also, my sympathies for jp players lmao)

[old galleon]

izou based

[long tree]

“Hero collector”

[summer hornet]

Clairvoyance is the thing that makes it most bearable lol

If I was playing on JP time I would not survive

[runic ether]

god bless the hoyo leakers

and the betas

[honest pawn]

JP FGO is terrible

so bad

[long tree]

Without clairvoyance the English player base would be the coughing baby next to anniversary’s summer of hell

[runic ether]

highly desired characters?

[honest pawn]

which is funny because we're in a yugioh server

[slow raft]

this summer was laready hell tbh

[long tree]

5 of them

[runic ether]

shit

lol

[copper steppe]

summer has very desired characters and they are busted

[runic ether]

ahhh

its like that

[long tree]

And they run at the same time

[summer hornet]

Anniversary, New Year, and Summer are the biggest campaigns

And Anniversary and Summer are never more than a month apart

[slow raft]

well, nothing as busted as castoria, right?

[runic ether]

holy

what the fuck

they say "pay us money like actually"

[old galleon]

yeeeeeep

[slow raft]

speaking of desired, cant wait for the onslaught at new years

im over pity but uhh

well, pray for me

[old galleon]

global anni is in june (but happens in july to coincide with anime expo), while jp anni is in late july, and in both cases, those ar esummer months

[runic ether]

and fgo is a game with dupes right?

so its not like

[summer hornet]

Dupes aren't quite as important as Hoyo games, but they do make a difference

[long tree]

Fgo says save for anni or we will be taking our £900 per unit

[runic ether]

is it 900 to get one copy?

that doesnt sound right

[old galleon]

yeah that's an exaggeration i think

[slow raft]

usually you get one way before pity

[copper steppe]

dupes are’t important unless you’re a tryhard or dedicated

[slow raft]

unlike in hoyo games

[runic ether]

i was gonna say like

it costs 1200-1500 to get c6 in a hoyo game

[long tree]

It’s £129 per 160 ish quarts, which is about 55 summons

You need 6 of those

So 6x129

[runic ether]

and thats to hit hard pity?

[long tree]

Assuming you have to go to pity

Yeah

[slow raft]

so around 250 on average for a 5 star

[runic ether]

that still sounds crazy tho if this is the rate

thats still about

[slow raft]

oh its not good

[runic ether]

300$ for a single 5 star

[long tree]

If an fgo player says they’re happy because they pulled the unit they want, it’s because they didn’t have to take out a mortgage this time

[runic ether]

no wonder its been alive 9 years they can just farm their whales like that 😭

[slow raft]

people who get np5 servants are scary to me

[long tree]

Reminds me of the time gigguk spent like £1k trying to get a 4 star

[old galleon]

wasn't that astolfo

[long tree]

It was indeed

[slow raft]

just rolling for np2 on bazett and shirou was nerve wrecking for me

[long tree]

Meanwhile I have np3 astolfo

Dude wasn’t even on rate up he just likes me

It’s never the 4 stars you want that spook you

[copper steppe]

shout to len and their np5 musashi

[slow raft]

"np5"

[runic ether]

at least we can relate to the 4 star situation that sucks between hoyo games and fgo

[slow raft]

oh right, dupes might not matter and such, but do we wanna tell misty about servant coins

[long tree]

Lack of 4 star pity in both is so stupid

[old galleon]

i lucked out and have np4 eresh and i'm considering going for np5 next year, although thatd' be the only other thing i try to do until s eresh/ciel drop

[copper steppe]

the servant coin tragedy

[runic ether]

there's pity in the hoyo games for 4 stars

theres just no guarantee to get the 4 star u want

[long tree]

You have to be… I think it’s np9 to max a unit in fgo

[old galleon]

but that's def not typical of regular play

[long tree]

But if you do that you are so unbelievably stupid with money

[old galleon]

still no universal servant coins in 2024

although honestly i'm unsure whether i'm as annoyed by that as i am at how dirty they did passionlip this summer

[long tree]

A causal £7k to max a unit in fgo

No biggie

[slow raft]

i have np2 taira because of some insane luck that will never hapen again (two 5 stars in one 10-roll) np2 muramasa and bazett becuase i couldnt resist
and np2 jeanne as divine punishment for gambling

[copper steppe]

i will kill takeuchi

[old galleon]

(for legal reasons this is a joke)

[copper steppe]

[long tree]

I got my boy Arjuna to np2 and now I’m good for life

[slow raft]

(insert yuta okkstu image here)

[slow raft]

now why would you be good with just an archer

[summer hornet]

I currently have about 1350 SQ saved up for next year

Either it'll be overkill or I'll be high and dry by July

[copper steppe]

i have 150 sq, i will not survive winter

[long tree]

I legitimately do not have a 5 star archer

[slow raft]

im definitely rolling for rasputin draco and tiamat
so idk if ill have anything left by summer

[long tree]

I am too busy pulling for buster aoe extra classes

[slow raft]

and here i though arjuna was 5 star

i mustve missed something

[long tree]

Death

[copper steppe]

your honor

[slow raft]

kukulkan maybe also but like
one should not be too greedy

[long tree]

I’m going for Tiamat Draco and Barghest this year and anything else is bonus

[slow raft]

goodluck getting that 4 star

[long tree]

it’s gonna be a battle i lose to sith again

[summer hornet]

I did not realize Honkai Star Rail had pity for 4*s

[slow raft]

Yoda at the end of episode 3

[long tree]

(I have np5 regular sith)

[slow raft]

Ill try for fire rescue barghest aswell, but idr what the 5 star was on that banner

[long tree]

Summer melusine

[slow raft]

Eh

Surely she reruns on a different abnner at some point

[old galleon]

next year just has the few banners, right?

[summer hornet]

[old galleon]

anni banner is aesc/s morgan

then there's a banner with s castoria, and a separate one with s melu

[summer hornet]

Plus the boys

[slow raft]

Right, lancelot is due his summer skin, isnt he

[old galleon]

yup

[honest pawn]

sigh

to be both a shirou fan and a buster gorilla

life is hard

[runic ether]

i could have gone harder

[versed pawn]

Gimme that last Chevy

[glossy latch]

Bro I havent even gotten her C1 😔

[summer hornet]

You were not joking about the eldritch horror, Misty

[runic ether]

thats the normal part

just look around a bit more

[summer hornet]

I would like it to be known that I had things completely under control before Yelan stole my kill

Also I'm genuinely surprised that Zhiqiong (the NPC lady) listened to our advice and went back to camp

So should I do Dainsleif's quest next, or the one at the very end of the Chasm (that apparently Itto is supposed to show up in)?

Okay my favourite meme HSR has right now is Sunday randomly bringing up the dove when people ask him what they want for dinner or any other mundane things

[honest pawn]

ryoshu sleeps on a bed of nails

[summer hornet]

…that was definitely a depressing storyline

NGL I sped through most of Paimon’s dialogue because her voice just felt too cheery for the atmosphere of the situation, even when she had more serious lines

I don’t actually want to know what is, but I want to know if ||the method Dainsleif uses to avoid turning into a Hilichurl|| has been revealed

No explanations, just a yes or no

[long tree]

Eng Jp or ch

[runic ether]

nope

[summer hornet]

EN

[summer hornet]

That's even more interesting, ngl

[long tree]

That’d be why

For whatever reason, the English voice director for a while kept demanding paimons voice go higher and higher

[mortal iron]

English isn't even a bad dub but the voice director is uh...makes alot of weird decisions

[long tree]

People hated it and now it’s being back tracked

[mortal iron]

Iirc it was neuv? Va re-recorded all his lines coz he sounded way too mean the first time

And didn't fit the scenes, he was unsatisfied with the voice direction given

[long tree]

Honestly paimons high voice was unsustainable

It got to the point you could tell it was straining the va

[mortal iron]

I don't like the voice director for the dub

[long tree]

Can't bother to check 271 locations

[summer hornet]

I have zero basis for this besides the opening’s ominous foreshadowing and the OST, but Sumeru is giving me slight LB6 vibes

(I know I was talking about completing the interlude quest with Itto, but they said I could go straight to Sumeru after Dainsleif lol)

Someone remind me does the fgo event go away next reset or the one after

[old galleon]

should be the one after

if the time remaining shows "1 day", that means you're fine

if the time remaining shows "2 hours" or whatever, your'e not

yeah the event ends 26 and a half hours from now

so if you haven't perma'd iyo and gotten her np5/coins/max ascended yet, get on it

max ascending her is free, you get all the mats as a natural consequence of doing story; coins and one np dupe of iyo are in event shop and her other 3 dupes are in post-story fights

[long tree]

Ye I'll grind for her tomorrow it's 2 am

[summer hornet]

I did get NP5, but I don't think I'm gonna clear out the event shop tbh

[old galleon]

just make sure you at least get the important stuff

of what's left, copy of the ce if you don't have 5 copies, servant coins, and any gold fous/lores you want

[summer hornet]

I'll try to grab as much as I can

[old galleon]

ended up caving and buying the musashi skin bc i wanted to play nikke without downloading nikke i think the skin's good enough to merit it, even with her great oath skin

[old galleon]

||the ears down is really a nice look on her imo||

[old galleon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CxAduAH8j8

this one's wild

it uses all of feinne as, galliard, and helena as nukes, and requires feinne not to die at any point

the extra speed is due to feinne using angel's song: feinne at the end of the turn she uses geo ansem in stellar burst

i still think she's the only character in the game to straight-up steal a 5* skill from one of her other forms

works out here since that skill after feinne ns rebalance is a huge nuke with high enough shadow on her

this one's running 154 shadow, not sure how much lower you can go on it, 255 would obv be ideal

but yeah the fact something like this is possible for non-gacha only is impressive considering all the bs that goes into this fight

also shoutout to the thumbnail for incorrectly labeling feinne as a light character

(and helena too)

pretty good

[slow raft]

removes the demerit, gives 20% party battery, 1 overcharge for 3 turns for party and 30% anti good dmg mod for 3 turns for party

seems p solid

[old galleon]

partywide 20% battery is nice, and removing pointless demerits is appreciated

anti-good is also a nice niche

[honest pawn]

wait

so Kiara has 70% NP charge on herself now

that's crazy

[old galleon]

not the first character to have 70% self charge spread across 2 skills, but yes

it helps

[old galleon]

my skill gem situation's a bit weird so i haven't actually been able to invest as much in iyo as i had planned

so instead of doing 90++ with her i'm doing it with cu alter

you'd figure a cu alter farming strat would suck but it's reasonably consistent

but mine's np3 and it's still a range on bb so it's not at all realistic under np3

what a weird kit

sounds fun but weird

its like amber but in zzz

a unique counter and trap-setting gameplay with an aimed shot

also 2nd time lighter's taunt comes up

super interested in seeing how it works

[glossy latch]

So another stun unit?

[runic ether]

we dont know

i think lighter may be an atk agent

but they may be shifting him to a stun

as the post says he was listed as an s-rank fire attack agent but hes scaling off impact

im curious as to how they will cook for him

[old galleon]

after almost a month i'm jumping back into ae

i took a little bit of a hiatus from it to not get burned out and to do some catchup on some things in azur lane, mainly

but eastern mythos dropped a few days ago so i'm gonna go work on that

[old galleon]

https://i.imgur.com/1h11zD7.jpeg

didn't realize eastern mythos was an arknights collab

https://i.imgur.com/LAlKVM4.jpeg

lewd

https://i.imgur.com/KUIczKz.jpeg

weird, since judging from how he was using that power, i figured he stole the soul eater rune

he apparently has a specific target and the castle in the distance is the one in izana

so i guess someone's finally gunning for genshin's head

(he won't actually die bc the comic buttmonkey never does)

anyway, this arc had better give aldo an upgrade, since he's technically part of the dojo in this part of the world

and the sword he gets from it is hilariously outdated

i'd say aldo doesn't really need an update now, and compared to most of the rest of the free case, he doesn't, but

hp cap being raised without damage per hit cap being raised puts aldo in a bad spot since his best attacks are one hit

so with proper buffing, characters with several hits on their skills can hit damage cap per hit, doing a lot more damage per use than aldo's one hit nukes

[old galleon]

https://i.imgur.com/sVcpUSs.png

hey i was right

[old galleon]

no matter what world, time layer, dimension

genshin will be genshin

(i don't like genshin, they tried way too hard to write him as some recurring buttmonkey who is very in your face about how "scummy" he is but it's just not funny to me)

like ffs dude, you rule over territory, fucking act like it

but character deaths very rarely happen in ae so the odds of this assassination plot actually succeeding are very slim

esp since the would-be assassin is a playable character

on the other hand, normal time layer curio did die in future mythos, and this is a mythos story

so i guess there's hope

but curio was clinically insane, genshin's just an idiot

well whatever

she's also a mostly on-field anomaly character like grace and jane

which should be tuesday

shoot burnice was changed again before live: tldr on it, shes worse for jane but better on her own

this changes nothing for me but i think this just means lighter is gonna be a strict on-fielder

with some off-field app or yanagi is gonna be a true off fielder

[rapid bough]

no way they're doing caesar then burnice then yanagi

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuck

my polys can't take this

even though i'm here for the waifus i feel kinda bad for the husbando enjoyers (and my polys, for this reason)

that'd make 5 straight female limited characters lol

wait 6, i forgot ellen lol. they've seriously only dropped female limited characters since release unless i'm trippin

[runic ether]

seth

lighter should be the 2nd 5 star for 1.2 and then we get harumasa in 1.3

so it'll be 2 guys back to back

big daddy is also a playable model and icons and its possible the furry guys with pulchra will also be playable

tho its unlikely they are 5 stars

just lighter and harumasa

but yes its disproportionate here but its the same in all hoyo games

hi3rd has no playable men at all

genshin has a lot more women > men playable

[rapid bough]

is he limited?

[runic ether]

ah thats what u meant

he'll go into standard banner as all a-ranks will

[rapid bough]

wonder when we'll get our first s-rank to go into the standard banner

[runic ether]

it should be at least a year

hsr has yet to add any

genshin adds one about every year-ish

cant think of any s-rank rn thats "standard worthy"

then again hoyo tossed dehya in there

her kit in genshin wasnt great sure but she was a main character for one of the best genshin story arcs and had a ton of fans

[rapid bough]

honestly yanagi kinda has standard banner s-rank energy to me lol

her design is pretty simple compared to the other s ranks we've got

[runic ether]

a little lol but she is anomaly electric

2 electric anomalies in standard would be weird cus they both (from what we know of yanagi) are on fielders

[rapid bough]

fair

caesar is dummy strong and very versatile due to her off-field buffs being so strong, maybe they make her standard for how generic she is

(not gonna happen)

[runic ether]

we will know once beta drops how she plays

[runic ether]

nah not happening

with her buffs and all, she'll be a staple for many teams

[rapid bough]

gotta assume if any s-rank goes standard it'll be a defender tho

only class to not have an s-rank in the standard banner

[runic ether]

maybe

we did start with just ben

[rapid bough]

only class to not have an s-rank period actually lol, until caesar

[runic ether]

the thing is that defenders are kinda busted

ben is really strong and so is seth and caesar is looking to be just as if not more

defenders may be their premium class

just cus their kits naturally lead them to doing a ton by themselves

caesar has great damage, good daze, excellent buffs, grouping, incredible defense, and perfect synergy with any character

idk how they sell a new defender without making them worse than her in some ways or going fuck it for specificity and making them perfect for x/y situation

[rapid bough]

it's funny because defenders seemed like the odd one out when i read through all the classes, like they didn't really have a niche of their own, they just took bits and pieces from all the other classes and added shields lol

and i think that's still more or less true, more and more they just do a shitton of Good Things to compensate for the fact they shouldn't be as good at stunning, anomaly, damage, etc. as classes dedicated to those mechanics

basically just a jack of all trades, but also, because stun/anomaly/damage characters typically eat up on-field time, defenders so far have more off-field mechanics

and strong off-field mechanics/buffs are an easy ticket to GOAT status since they work anywhere

they kinda feel more like supports but with shielding to me lol

[runic ether]

and huge damage

they are jack of all trade types

seth dps is great but so are his buffs and his shielding is nice

but he doesnt has the best dmg or buffs of course

same with ben

incredible damage. good buffs and nice shields

not the best in slot

caesar is more of the same but she has way better shielding

[rapid bough]

i only use seth for his parry + switch back to jane lol

plus launching his EX special in the middle if you have the energy

[runic ether]

thats fine for jane bc jane wants the whole field time

but if used outside of jane, seth damage is super relevant

his instant charge blade tech is important cus it maxes out dps thresholds

[rapid bough]

his what now

[runic ether]

sorry lol his gameplay is just like monster hunter charge blade/switch axe

theres a way to fire it off faster than usual

i dont know seth tech well cus i dont play him much

[rapid bough]

i figured that's what you meant, i just want to know if it's possible after a parry

b/c the timing on getting his EX in after a parry while still being able to switch to jane is tight

[runic ether]

i believe its off some other way to trigger it

[rapid bough]

[runic ether]

its off the swap into his or after using his chain/ult

[rapid bough]

sad!

since yeah in jane comps you can't really charge his EX after a parry or the quick assist to jane goes away

[runic ether]

yea jane is super selfish for buff and field time

unfort burnice got nerfed in her off field department too

drains less fuel while she's on field, burns more off field

and they just did that change too

so jane will still be waiting on a new teammate that isnt rina or nicole

not surprisingly tho burnice does work well with piper

[versed pawn]

i never worried about her synergy< with jane in the first place she allready clears every content in toptime with or without burniice

if i pull her she lands in my fire team anyway

no point to make the team that is allready so strong stronger

[runic ether]

always want to hit even bigger number

[versed pawn]

i think u get bigger numbers just more big numbers

but going from 50 seconds clears to 40 doesnt seem like a selling point for me

[glossy latch]

Btw Natlan is getting a standard 5* right?

[runic ether]

yes

not necessarily from natlan

but a 5 star from the natlan patches will be in standard

[glossy latch]

Im wondering if its gonna be Xilonen

[runic ether]

i highly doubt it considering how strong she is

she has bait c2 as well

i have bets it'll be either chasca or madame ping who is supposed to be this patch cycle

[mortal iron]

wait what

[glossy latch]

My logic is that the standard banner is still missing Geo

[mortal iron]

xilonen kit is too good so i doubt she'll be the standard

but yeah weird we got 2 pyros and no geos

like dehya feels so out of place

feels like they were like "shit her kit is total ass, just put her on the standard banner"

[runic ether]

i have a feeling albedo is going to be sent to standard

which would be pretty neat cus albedo is good despite the memes

i cant be bothered to play him

hes boring

but hes such a good character

[mortal iron]

yeah im slowly phasing him out in my abyss runs

i will break him out if i am skill issuing realling hard

[mortal iron]

i heard the reason why they dont do that is coz it's like illegal or smth because they were advertised as limited characters

the reason why tighnari and dehya were added was because they said before release that they were going to standard

[old galleon]

Azur Lane adds limited pool ships to standard pools all the time

I'm not convinced that's a legality issue

[mortal iron]

hmmm, that's what i got told atleast

that said, i feel like if they would've albedo ages ago into standard

dunno why theyre stopped from doing that

[old galleon]

Probably the same reason other games don't do that

lucy backstory hint + showing a softer side to caesar is cool though

we had known about lucy's backstory a lil bit if u explore around the city

sometimes u see her in lumina square talking to some older lady asking her how she is and if her father has become less strict due to her outfit

and she responds by saying "she doesnt talk to him anymore"

or when u see caesar and burnice around and they mention the bounty for finding lucy is absurd

[summer hornet]

I could make a joke about receipts, but then it would be fired right back at me because digital footprints in 2024 are hell

[summer hornet]

Do you still get interludes if you burn a servant? IDR

[old galleon]

you need certain requirements to be able to play them by default, usually meaning certain ascension level and bond level

i would imagine that's tracked in your spirit record

but i'm not gonna test that

[long tree]

Getting my archer ascended because options is always nice (I got him np2 so I figured why not), this man wants hearts I do not have

Wait I just realised does this man have an arts steroid with a buster np?

Cringe

[summer hornet]

Garcher?

[old galleon]

yeah you really need to do your strengthenings

[summer hornet]

He needs his interludes and rank-ups for farming compatibility yeah

You gotta train like Shirou to fight like Archer

[mortal iron]

1 multi, but took like 50 billion pulls on gohan

[long tree]

Good man

Now get teq broly

[mortal iron]

IM TRYING!

im like 130 coins away from him if i dont get him

[glossy latch]

Good lord Wriothesley likes his tea

[long tree]

Good

Tea for every drink is part of a brit- I mean balanced diet

[mortal iron]

some say his body is tea

[versed pawn]

Thank God he didn't dissolve would have giving fontaine a lot of flavour tho

[glossy latch]

He almost talks as much about tea as I do

[runic ether]

didnt know you were that much a tea guy

[slow raft]

you dont know the half of it

If the rate at which he goes afk in vc to get some tea is anything to go by, his body should be more tea than water by now

[glossy latch]

I do tend to refill my cup every 1.5 episodes

[mortal iron]

you think he would like zhongli

for how often he talks about tea

[versed pawn]

Now it's gaming time

If I get him to 80-90 this week I can do imaginerium theater this week for stage 10 clear

Finished sara today I guess

[glossy latch]

I see Arlecchino has quite the sharp tongue

... also its kinda odd to have a story quest with so little fighting

[runic ether]

she is a diplomat

[glossy latch]

Well so is Childe and he is ... not very good at that

[long tree]

Difference is arlecchino is HIM

[runic ether]

childe is younger tbf

[astral drift]

is the protagonist of ghost of yotei DATA LOST

[glossy latch]

Well yeah, he's still a Childe

[long tree]

Get out

[mortal iron]

childe tried to commit genocide

arle tried to stop end of evangelion

[runic ether]

hes kinda goated for that

[glossy latch]

Wait what did Childe try to do o.0

[runic ether]

same thing he always does

try to fight the biggest baddest thing around

[glossy latch]

That does sound like him

29 off from maxing out the fountain

But I genuinely dont know what else Im missing

[runic ether]

29 hyroculous?

i would just craft the hydro finders

[glossy latch]

I dont have the reputation for that lmao

[runic ether]

build it up

[glossy latch]

Also I meant Hydrosigils actually

[runic ether]

o

then treasure compass

which... u probs need reputation for too

[glossy latch]

Think so

Ok down to 15 left

I remembered I hadnt cleared that strange space you get from a melusine quest yet

[glossy latch]

Down to 5, another area I found

[glossy latch]

Aaand done

[runic ether]

[glossy latch]

Still no Kinich tho 😔

To be fair, itd be weird, Im only at 58 pulls deep rn

[runic ether]

2 weeks too

[glossy latch]

Are we getting one more event this patch or is this it?

[runic ether]

1-2 more i think?

i cant actually remember

no i think its just 1 more

[glossy latch]

Gotcha

... also why do we fight the Guardemechs in Fontaine anyway

Like theres not actually any enemy faction using them

[versed pawn]

Malfunctioning probably

Well some crooks do use them

[runic ether]

yea and we know some ppl will hack them to use them

[versed pawn]

Like in the mainstory someone buys them

[versed pawn]

The card game isn't too bad I feel

Too bad they kinda lock you from leveling to player rank 10

By weeklys

[summer hornet]

Keep playing and you’ll get it in no time

This week’s rotation of DU buffs was enough for me to clear 5v5 difficulty

Could probably go to 6 or 7… but I really don’t want to lol

[rapid bough]

my king is here

i also pulled lycaon on the multi before this, i was getting close to the 50/50 and thought "fuck" since lycaon ruined it, and then my next (and last since i was out of polys) was this lol

gonna be rough getting burnice after this

yo this is a neat addition

[runic ether]

ye

its great

i also got caesar

i also miscalculated the amount of exp and dennies i needed

im short a couple of both to max her out

[versed pawn]

If u max lvl arround 4.4 mil with all skill levels

Or 1500 blue books

For wengine it's 200 purples or 1000 blue

[runic ether]

[glossy latch]

Also Lighter is officially Stun, huh

Not sure how I feel about that, I already have Koleda

[glossy latch]

... in general not sure how I feel about ZZZ

[glossy latch]

Ok, time to start the finale of the Fontaine Archon Quest

[runic ether]

they have done a good job so far of making the characters in the same attribute and class feel different enough

anby and qingyi play very different

as does corin and billy

and jane and piper

but it is weird we are getting so many same class/attribute

[glossy latch]

Mmh

Idk, I think the game might just not be for me

[runic ether]

i think it does a great job at appealing to ppl who were fans of studio trigger/gainax

kill la kill/gurren lagaan ans panty and stocking

[glossy latch]

Its well animated and the gameplay has impact, but its just not interesting enough to me, and I don't really care for the characters

Im not sure on the story either
