so hes "fine"

just he isnt doing his past peak damage

Lemme guess, its either the reason we are so good at commanding nikke or the truth behind vapaus

Well, Im nowhere near Miyabi yet

#

Or the 50/50 even

#

Time to grind rolls ig

#

20 more pulls, still no miyabi... sigh

#

i hate hoyo gacha rates

#

they're too reliant on pity mechanisms

#

it's sort of the nature of the word "pity" that if we get to that point, shit sucks

#

but the base rate is so awful that it's basically expected pity will have to kick in before you get the character you're after

#

at that point it's not "pity", it's just baseline luck because pulling it earlier means you got lucky

#

bankrupting myself for every character i don't get lucky on feels like shit

#

and i'm a light spender with significantly more pulls over time than a pure f2p, can't even imagine the suffering of a f2p

slow raft
#

slow raft
#

All i can say is that im thankful to god that atleast in zzz im allowed to win coinflips from time to time

rapid bough
#

i also understand this is at least somewhat a problem of my own making because i'm a monkey and try to pull every female character (though i almost went for lighter too, and with my miyabi luck so far i am very glad i didn't)

#

and ZZZ is overwhelmingly female character banners

#

which means i'm basically always pulling a ton and can't build up significant savings

slow raft
#

We sre just too ueed tl gachas were you can get everything ig

rapid bough
#

unlike i have in, say, nikke

#

nikke has definitely spoiled me, it's true

#

but the way they set up their gacha is very different, even aside from the rates

#

the fact that all new characters (save for seasonals and collabs) enter the standard pool after their banner is a very different dynamic

#

makes the pressure to pull on each non-limited banner much, much lower

#

whereas in hoyo games (and many others now), most characters are "limited" and only exist when their banners are active, either initially or through semi-frequent but unpredictable reruns

timber sigil
#

seems to be the case w/GFL2 atm

rapid bough
#

yeah GFL2 is the hoyo model top to bottom

old galleon
#

gfl2 is basically a hoyo gacha with a different skin

rapid bough
#

though whenever we get CN's addition of a rate-up on the standard pool that will be a nice change

slow raft
rapid bough
#

i will say that the hoyo model isn't inherently bad

#

it's the model + the amount of pulls you get

#

GFL2 seems more generous with its pull currency than the average hoyo game, so it feels slightly less shit

#

and i'm not even saying hoyo games aren't generous

#

i just think their model hits the perfect middle ground of stringing you along for pulls and keeping you on that thin line between "lucky i didn't need to spend to get the character i want" and "gotta swipe the credit card to get the character i want"

#

no small wonder it's the prevailing model more and more gachas follow now

slow raft
#

In terms of models, i still like limbus(battlepass for every 3-4 months that allows you to get every single unit by simply doing dailies) the most, but the yostar one (extremely generous rates and make the actual money through skins) is also good

rapid bough
#

and don't even get me started on fucking weapon banners

slow raft
#

Weapons are bad civilisation, this is known

rapid bough
#

snowbreak was mostly a hoyo model but it made a simple but extremely welcome change

#

you could spend ordinary pull currency on both character or weapon banners, as you'd expect

#

but the vouchers for free pulls on character banners were different from free weapon banner vouchers

old galleon
#

azur lane is probably my favorite overall gacha system but it can also get pretty salty sometimes

rapid bough
#

so pulling on weapon banners was actually something you did sometimes because you would get some nontrivial amount of free pulls

slow raft
#

Azur lane is how i started, which set bad expectations for other gachas lmao

old galleon
#

the horror stories of people spending god knows how many cubes to pull a gold (which doesn't have pity)

rapid bough
#

the hoyo games dilute your free pulls by sharing the vouchers between character and weapon banners

old galleon
#

good rates are good rates, but still not guarantees

#

so sometimes that shit happens

rapid bough
#

it'll be a cold day in hell when i use a free pull on a weapon banner

slow raft
#

Speaking of weapon banners, i quite like how fgo gives extremely powerful version of their weapon equivalent for free

rapid bough
#

i'm a big fan of AL's rates and generosity but i think my favorite system overall is nikke

old galleon
#

nikke's pity is better, yes

rapid bough
#

the way nikke's gacha is set up rewards intelligent saving massively, and its pity takes a while to hit but is easily the most versatile form of it

old galleon
#

mileage is just a fantastic system comparatively

rapid bough
#

oh and its base rates are quite nice too

slow raft
#

Hoyo games usually only give 4 star weapons in events

rapid bough
#

one thing nikke suffers from is just character bloat though

#

especially for pilgrims

#

each new pilgrim dilutes the pilgrim pool and makes each individual one less likely to pop up

#

i feel like at some point they're gonna have to give us a way to wishlist pilgrims

old galleon
#

just add pilgrim wishlist : ^)

#

or if you're guy, just pull the extra cindy bc it's just that easy

rapid bough
#

unlike the wishlists for the other manufacturers i doubt it will operate like a rate-up

#

but a pilgrim wishlist that keeps the base 0.5% on any pull, but splits that 0.5% between your (say 5) wishlisted pilgrims instead of the... uh, 14? i think we have now

#

that'd be a welcome change

slow raft
rapid bough
#

lol

#

well

#

i think i'm at like 10 months playtime now, as a pretty decent spender, and i still don't have dorothy

slow raft
#

I just want modernia man

rapid bough
#

pretty sure she's my last one

#

i hear tales of day one players that still don't have their favorite pilgrim (often scarlet cited here since she was also a release pilgrim, and the best DPS in the game back then)

slow raft
#

Pilgrim molds will save me copium

rapid bough
#

enjoy your blues

#

i actually can't remember how generous pilgrim molds have been for me

slow raft
#

Well im 1/1 on getting pilgrims so far so

rapid bough
#

they've been decent, probably bang on the 50/50

slow raft
#

Its all coming up guy

rapid bough
#

i rerolled my initial account until i got SBS and modernia off early pulls

#

so i really haven't struggled for pilgrims

slow raft
#

poor silvergun lmao

rapid bough
#

red hood came home around 5 months ago i think

#

got crown off pity in 1.5 anni

#

same with cindy/grave for 2nd anni

#

we'll see what the new year's unit will be

#

i just want doro :(

#

i can fix her

timber sigil
rapid bough
#

lol the cheeta gameplay experience

glossy latch
#

Wait, so Miyabi has a unique element just for her?

#

Does Lighter even work for her element?

rapid bough
#

yes, because the damage she does is still basically ice dmg with a fancy name attached. that's also why she has ice res reduction as part of her own kit

#

lighter+miyabi was the ideal combo early in the beta before they changed her additional ability to need a support instead of anomaly, which made it way harder to fit in a stunner like lighter (miyabi/lighter/burnice went hard)

glossy latch
#

I see

rapid bough
#

her current best teammate is yanagi now

glossy latch
#

I assumed as much

rapid bough
#

since yanagi disorder is free real estate

glossy latch
#

Good thing I do have Yanagi

#

Now I just have to roll Miyabi

rapid bough
#

i'm like 110-120 pulls in and still no katana fox

#

not worried about getting her before her banner ends, since it's over a month

#

but i'm probably cooked for astra yao + evelyn

#

i'ma have to make a business decision and only try for one

#

and while i like evelyn's aesthetic more, i like astra well enough and she's a support and supports are almost always good long-term investments so i'd probably go for her

glossy latch
#

We do get like 140 rolls this patch in total apparently

#

Ill probably get her and maybe Evelyn

slow raft
honest pawn
#

I have my GSSR locked in this new year's

#

I'll pull on this one and if I get prillya I'll burn her for the rare prisms

copper steppe
#

i can’t do gssr dollar prices are fucked where i am

#

#

louhi is cute, this is awful

#

now my sq is split between oberon, summer ciel, summer skadi, and louhi

#

castoria too

rapid bough
#

ZZZ community imploding from the censorship patch that makes it harder to upskirt characters

#

miyabi just released with a peak story chapter but the fact it's harder to zoom in on the backside jiggle physics is getting more publicity

#

never change my gacha degenerates 🫡

#

to be fair to the degenerates, the censorship is actually worse than genshin now

#

kinda wild to see this severe of a backpedal on this specific fanservice aspect of the game, feels like hoyo went farther than they intended

honest pawn
#

I feel like getting mad over mihoyo censorship is like losing chess to a dog

rapid bough
#

it's a bit like that but ZZZ specifically is billed as the horny hoyo game and they've appealed to that fanbase repeatedly

#

and now they upped the censorship in some (realistically) edge case scenarios and people are in a tizzy

#

in a way i think they sabotaged themselves by specifically calling out this change in the patch notes

#

it would've been noticed quickly either way, but mentioning it in the patch notes got a bunch of people aware of something they weren't otherwise even interacting with

#

so the sample size of degenerates this affects only grew

slow raft
#

How can i possibly goon without my ingame upskirts?

rapid bough
#

to be clear, i'm a degenerate and this affects me literally not at all

slow raft
#

You took all my fold now im going to starveeeee

rapid bough
#

i don't have the time or inclination to be upskirting my characters, there's plenty of fanservice without it

#

but it's been kinda funny to watch the community go crazy over this

honest pawn
#

I get your point, it's weird for them to censor upskirting but at the same time make that cinematic where the rat girl has lesbian sex with that one guard(?)

slow raft
#

This seems like the most insignificant thing to happen to this game ever

rapid bough
#

i think part of it is, again, they called it out in the patch notes and people were like "oh, they already do this in genshin to some degree, it'll just be that"

slow raft
#

Just open blender and import the models if you want it that desperately bro

rapid bough
#

only for it to be worse than genshin so now people are like "wtf how are you letting us goon LESS than genshin"

long tree
#

Imagine someone asks for a refund specifically because they pulled a character with a short skirt to do this

rapid bough
#

100% chance someone has tried that

astral drift
#

make horny game, remove the horny

#

unlucky

rapid bough
#

there's still plenty of horny that you interact with like 99.9999999999999% of the time that's unaffected by this

honest pawn
#

filthy degenerates, anyways when will they give me a lighter swimsuit costume

rapid bough
#

but i guess the upskirting community was larger than i thought

long tree
#

It's an odd move especially considering how they advertised burnice but it's so incredibly small of a change

rapid bough
#

which is a sentence i never thought i'd say

rapid bough
#

you can't zoom on da butt for basically anyone, and considering ZZZ has some truly remarkable backsides this is a tragedy

#

but burnice is getting the most publicity because of her skirt

#

so the only way to really see the butt is to do this camera motion

#

but now the degenerates can't even do that

long tree
#

Yeah I'm aware

rapid bough
#

truly tragic

long tree
#

I'm specifically saying they played to the gooners with burnice and now do this

rapid bough
#

jane played to the gooners more than burnice imo

#

but yeah

honest pawn
#

not just the gooners, I've heard that burnice song too many times

slow raft
#

Ive heard it once, so same

torn harbor
#

btw jot how far did you get in the wizardry gacha? (since you seem to be dropping it)

long tree
#

Like floor 5 of the first dungeon

torn harbor
#

oh

#

so not even the first reset?

long tree
#

It was kinda slow and I either had to grind or face monsters higher level than me that could one shot

#

I got to the part where the floors above were visible

torn harbor
#

ah that's floor 6

long tree
#

I got strong units but kept dying to lucky crits and was like nah this shit takes too long

torn harbor
#

it's a generally hard game, havent had to grind on my end except maybe for weapon mats

but yeah

#

but yeah once you beat the first boss the first time ||you get executed for not only being unable to save the king but being the only one to come back alive and thus thought to have "abandoned" the knights and then time resets back to when you first meet lulunarde||

#

||and from here you learn about your time reset powers you gain control over starting floor 4 of your second run through||

#

basically becoming natsuki subaru from re:zero if he had more control over return by death

#

@rapid bough btw, is winter maiden any good as a support for cindy vs electric weak enemies?

rapid bough
#

yes i think she's now a BIS support for electric teams, something like cindy / rouge / s.anis / crown / x.maiden is the meta comp

#

obviously you probably don't have 2 or 3 of those so can't quite do meta comp

#

but moral of the story is that she's very good

slow raft
#

Yeah i have neither crown nor s anis nor rogue

#

I imagine the next best thing would be liter/grave/ some sort of elecritc dps?

rapid bough
#

depends if you need healing and your other support access

#

the B2 slot is usually best for blanc or naga, if you can run the support duos

#

if not, grave is kinda meh without pierce units to buff

#

liter is def a good replacement for rouge

#

if you can run a support duo, then x.maiden is your second electric B3 (so like tia / cindy / x.maiden / liter / naga or smth)

rapid bough
#

if not, then she's a good off-burst B3, could slot ein in as your second bursting B3 alongside cindy or something

slow raft
#

I c ic

#

I shouldve probably asked this early considering thatvive gotten dkw like 2 months ago but

#

What exactly is pierce

rapid bough
#

it basically means your shots pass through wherever you're shooting and damage all enemies in a line

#

turns weapons into mini-RLs, except instead of hitting the area around the enemy, it's area behind them

slow raft
#

And piece units are units that have it natively or get it through burst, i assume?

rapid bough
#

it's almost always a buff they apply to themselves as part of their skills

#

alice for instance gives herself pierce when above 80% hp

#

red hood gives it to herself permanently

#

grave gives it to herself during burst iirc

#

d:kw gives it to herself on every 5th (?) fully charged shot

#

etc etc

#

just read their skills to find out tbh, if it doesn't say "pierce" then it's not pierce

slow raft
#

Reading the nikke explains the nikke PauseChamp

rapid bough
#

debatable

#

in this case it does, but nikke skill text can be very hard to parse

#

so don't blame people for not trying to read it

slow raft
#

I never noticed that grave increases burst gauge filling speed

#

That seems like a good effect to have 🤔

rapid bough
#

it's nice yeah, she's only one of very few (possibly the second?) to have a skill like that

#

far from the best part of her kit but it's a nice boost for getting into your next burst that little bit faster

slow raft
#

Nikke wiki delivering some teuly shocking info

#

Now i kinda want to do a pierce team, i already know 3 members i would pick

rapid bough
#

spoiler alert!

#

pierce team is kind of a meme in serious content because it lacks healing

#

but for content that doesn't need it, it can go hard

slow raft
rapid bough
#

d:kw / grave / red hood / alice or asuka (if fire weak) / someone else, idk

#

actually red hood might be the odd one out there since asuka buffs alice

#

i don't really know what the proper pierce team B3 lineup is tbh

#

ugh last day to do solo raid... need to scrounge together 5 teams for the challenge stage

#

but having trouble finding the motivation

slow raft
#

I also should probably scrounge together 5 tesms to do difficulty 4

#

Ill do it when i get home copium

rapid bough
#

that's a lot of damage cindy

slow raft
#

Wow, neat team

rapid bough
#

not optimizing this at all, just going full send to get a placement of some sort for gems

slow raft
#

Reading a guide on grave and its so funny "yeah shes really amazing, especially with (evangelion character) and (evangelion character) or (evangelion character)"

wispy goblet
#

rerun banner trust

honest pawn
#

okay I think I need to lock in and save for aesc and oberon

rapid bough
#

aight ended up getting top 5%, good for 1200 gems at solo raid end

#

may drop out into top 10% before the end, in which case that's 1000 gems

#

oh well, still a long way from having "optimal" teams just due to lack of investment across my best 10 or so nikkes

#

and really only my top 4 are super invested, like maxed dolls + OL gear

old galleon
#

aesc is obviously very good (even before cooldown append) but she's far from the only beneficiary

rapid bough
#

WE ARE SO BACK

#

UPSKIRTS ARE BACK ON THE MENU BOYS

runic ether
#

seems they faded out way too much

wispy goblet
#

Panty shots forever

rapid bough
#

(i'm being facetious this was a dumb controversy even if it was a bug)

#

i saw a compelling theory that it was actually for free roam as ben bigger, not for censorship

runic ether
#

hope they fix billy's bug soon

rapid bough
#

but they overdid the fade out threshold for every other character

rapid bough
#

yeah but i think ben is the one the devs specifically mentioned as presenting free roam issues due to model size

old galleon
#

it probably wasn't actually for censorship, esp considering how quick this was

rapid bough
#

yeah but gooners gonna go ballistic at the first sign of potential obstacles to their gooning

#

i say this as a gooner myself: this was so hilariously overblown

#

given the quick fix and clear potential reason behind it, it was 99% a bug in the first place

#

but even if it was intended, the fact hoyo walked it back so fast makes me think that even if censorship was a motivation, they overdid it and know they did

#

but again, probably wasn't censorship. just a "special case" for ben/lycaon that ended up getting extended to everyone else

runic ether
#

it wasnt even during combat too

rapid bough
#

though fwiw, i wanna shoutout the team behind ZZZ because even if they did intend this, they are insanely good at listening to feedback

#

ZZZ isn't afraid of a radical direction change based on what works for players

#

i appreciate that about it

runic ether
#

also probable we are getting another large man or large thiren sometime soon since they are adjusting for ben this much means big daddy playable leaks are true

rapid bough
#

not very often you see that from a company of hoyo's size

runic ether
#

probably at the tail end of 1.x patches

rapid bough
#

but with ZZZ it seems like hoyo is giving the go-ahead to do Whatever The Fuck They Want

runic ether
#

hugo vlad, pulchra, and big daddy are the next characters i can see being playable maybe bellum

#

i believe we know pulchra will be s-rank

#

no way hugo is an a-rank hes the vampire twink in lycaon's story

#

hes 100% going to be like lighter

#

i can see the others as a-ranks

rapid bough
#

man it's so much fun being able to use every character's ult

#

what a good change

runic ether
#

agreed

#

it also in theory skyrockets dps on everyone

#

so i hope its not gonna lead to direct powercreep there

#

but it does mean you do wanna optimize for crit/dmg on supports like nicole

rapid bough
#

it feels like this shiyu reset has higher hp than i remember

#

so there might be some HP bloat already

#

but that's reasonable, DPS 100% has gone up across the board with these changes

#

just so long as it's a one-time adjustment and not continuing into the future

#

nobody asked but i am now 130 pulls dry of miyabi

#

16 away from hard pity, which will be guaranteed but oof

runic ether
#

despite my billy being nerfed bc of the bug i still cleared shiyu 7 under 2 minutes on both sides

#

took 1:20 for billy (usually only 50 secs) and then miyabi took 45 seconds

God if I dont win this 50/50 im gonna be so annoyed

Even though I mostly want Miyabi to have an Ice DPS

But getting up to that many pulls again is gonna suck

we duping out here

#

@runic ether do you have any idea if Nekomatas W engine is actually good on Miyabi?

runic ether
#

its actually good yes

#

cus the crit

glossy latch
#

Neat

#

Though if I do get Miyabi for Yanagi, Harumasa has no team lmao

#

Actually I guess I could just run him with Anby and Rina

#

Also the good news is I can just move Antons gear to him

runic ether
#

yeah anby rina will work for haru

#

tho maybe u do want rina for miyabi + nagi

#

so it'd be haru anby soukaku

glossy latch
#

Isnt Soukaku better for Miyabi?

runic ether
#

shes great for her too

#

but rina is very comparable

#

rina can be better for yanagi tho and it helps for miyabi

glossy latch
#

Tbh I figure if I do Yanagi/Miyabi I wont need to minmax lmao

runic ether
#

kinda lol

#

they do kind of kill everything

glossy latch
#

Funny thing is, after I get Miyabi I basically have a team for every element minus Ether

runic ether
#

time for astra

glossy latch
#

So at that point its just pulling Evelyn because she seems neat

runic ether

astra/nicole

And waiting for Zhu Yuan to roll back around

now hold on

#

maybe hugo is ether

Wait

Thats the vampire dude from Lycaons backstory right?

His name is Vlad?

his name is hugo

That ez

#

Also free tenpull in the mail for zzz

rapid bough
#

160 pulls deep, still no miyabi

#

or maybe it's 150

#

either way i am in pain

#

apparently if we're getting papasha, that means we're also getting guilds since that's how you get her in CN (guild shop)

#

so that's neat

rapid bough
#

yo wtf hoyo cooked unbelievably hard with the new lost void mode

#

can't wait to play this on a proper PC because my laptop can only run the game at 30fps max and hitches frames regularly

#

it's playable but very suboptimal, i wanna see this roguelike combat with nutty buffs in all its glory

#

part of me looks at the insane updates ZZZ gets (to the point 1.4 is basically a soft relaunch) and then looks at something like nikke which is mostly stagnant and feels no small amount of jealousy

#

but then i remember this is hoyo who have more money and employees than god to throw at creating updates like these

#

still, ZZZ feels increasingly like a labor of love whereas the other gacha i play feel like they're going through the motions for the most part

#

and to be clear, i actually don't have a huge issue with sitting on a predictable, unsurprising gameplay loop for extended periods of time

#

that can actually be comforting, to have a set daily routine in any given game

#

ZZZ constantly redefining itself might actually turn people off because they can't settle into a rhythm or get used to how things are

#

but the quality of ZZZ updates far outweighs whatever momentary upheaval in the gameplay loop they cause

#

meanwhile nikke's been teasing "champion arena" (for PvP) for literally over a year because they can't get it quite right, and i guarantee you whatever that is is significantly smaller in scope compared to ZZZ's lost void mode which was made in much less time

#

not to mention that the new content nikke does add are rarely accessible to new players... new story chapters at the end of campaign which no new player is even close to, champion arena for high-end PvP, etc

patent swift
#

Seeing how ZZZ is doing makes me excited for star rail 3.0
Obviously not a 1:1 comparison but star rail being the middle sibling of the three it is probably just grabs whatever people like from the other hoyo games

#

Its also the smallest of the three

rapid bough
#

i think HSR grabs the hoyo fans that prefer turn-based combat

#

it's a solid niche

patent swift
#

It is

#

Star rail is my first true gacha

#

It'll probably stay as my only one because I don't havr the capacity to handle more

i've never been much into hoyo games because i'm a monkey who looks in the direction of more fanservice (and also i hear genshin/honkai lore is insane and idk if i'm ready for it)

#

ZZZ got me since it was brand new and fanservicey so it was easy to get in on the ground floor

patent swift
rapid bough
#

but if i were to choose another to get into, HSR is the one i'd play

#

i'm a turn-based enjoyer

patent swift
#

If you do want to try hsr, right now wouldn't be a bad time to start

#

You'd have time to catch up before 3.0 without needing to rush

rapid bough
#

nah i just added GFL2 so i'm up to 4 gacha now and that was my limit last time (before i dropped a few)

#

i must exercise restraint, both for my time and my wallet

patent swift
#

Understandable

#

I physically cannot spend money on a gacha

#

I did once, got what I wanted, and vowed to never again do it

#

Which is suprising because I have addictive genes KEKW

#

Musta just got lucky

rapid bough
#

i spend on cosmetics i like but i've tried to draw the line at not spending directly on huge infusions of gacha currency to go on a gambling bender

#

i do buy monthly currency packs and battle passes and stuff but those typically give a ton of other in-game resources and aren't expensive anyway

#

$5/mo to get a bit of an extra gacha currency bank over time is not a price that remotely scares me

#

cosmetics are the real thing that break my bank, especially in cosmetic-heavy gacha like nikke and azur lane

#

in that sense, hoyo games are perfect since they don't really do cosmetics so there's no temptation lol

patent swift
#

Never play impact 3rd KEKW

#

But yeah hoyo games either never do cosmetics or make them resource grinds ||hsr is gonna do that if leaks are to be believed but idk I usually avoid leaks||

Oh yeah with PPSh returning from GFL1 here's a fun fact

#

Suomi's manufacturer coded her to be extremely prejudiced against units imprinted with Soviet-era and post Soviet era firearms

#

See for yourself

#

Obviously after she gets her upgrade it gets resolved

runic ether
rapid bough
#

it definitely is but at least i got in on the ground floor

#

on that note, the fact that the names of the new notorious hunt bosses for the last 2 major story patches are spoilers is kinda dumb

#

they should really obscure the names until you see them in the story or something

but this is a hoyo problem as a whole for some reason

it is the year of our lord and savior 2024, and d'eon finally got a buff

#

Self Suggestion A -> Radiance of the White Lily A+:

  • Cooldown: 7/6/5
  • Remove Debuffs
  • & increase Debuff Resist [50-100%] (3 turns) for yourself
  • + Increase Arts Card effectiveness [10-20%] (3 turns)
  • & increase Buff Removal Resist [50-100%] (3 turns) for all allies
toxic cloud

Did you see the endfield trailer @mental acorn HOLY

old galleon
#

d'eon is saved lmao

#

could have even left off the new arts effectiveness buff and they'd still be great

#

100% partywide buff removal resist for 3 turns, unconditional, on a skill with 5 turn cooldown, is incredibly powerful utility

Finally gave them a niche, neat

10 pulls short of hard pity

i think that was 170 total, nearly worst case scenario

regardless, i won, but at what cost

165 pulls apparently

after I pulled muramasa I have achieved inner balance

nothing really interests me except aesc in july, oberon in august, castoria in october, and takeda/maou nobu in november

which is sad

#

yeah honestly so far gfl2's global launch has had almost no hiccups

#

well-optimized game that runs well and doesn't have issues, with an appealing first banner and lots of pull currency

old galleon
#

i need to play a bit of catchup on somethings in gfl2

#

been occupied with some other stuff the last few days so i haven't done a lot aside from log in

#

but i still have to finish getting lotta dupes, her gun dupes, etc

rapid bough
#

i had to skip the part 2 story so i could grind the part 2 hard mode since i cleared the part 1 shop

#

gonna have to watch it on youtube later or something since i don't think there's an archive function in gfl2 yet

#

not for events anyway

old galleon
#

part 2 story focuses on some stuff that happened ||after suomi reunited with commander||

rapid bough
#

yeah i know the broad strokes

#

ah fuck i need to catch up to the new AL event too

old galleon
#

ye i'm just now getting on al

#

had to do daily stuff on nikke first

#

hoping the banner ships come easily

#

rumey having up to 8 fighters probably makes her the de facto best chapter 15 support fleet ship, among other things

#

and while she's not a banner ship i'm kind of a sucker for z52's design

rapid bough
#

already did my daily 10 pull... not a single event ship

old galleon
#

#

oh right that reminds me

#

for anyone else who plays azur lane, this is a 2 ur event, so plan accordingly

rapid bough
#

i'm not huge on any specific event ship's design but that new agir skin has got me on my knees

old galleon
#

(surely khaios and i aren't the only players left)

rapid bough
#

the run of skins for this event is gonna obliterate my wallet

#

there's so many of them and they're all so good

#

and they're all for good ships that can be reasonably used

#

it's a perfect storm

old galleon
#

i want plymouth to get an l2d

#

she's like the only dr i can think of who doesn't have one

rapid bough
#

she definitely deserves one

old galleon
#

azuma and fdg have one
drake has one
agir has one, an di think haku does too
kear and hinden have one each
and now nakhimov and napoli

#

to say nothing of brest

rapid bough
#

agir has three lmao

old galleon
#

yeah i'm using "one" as a yes/no switch of sorts

rapid bough
#

i think all the DRs (except plymouth) have one but agir has 3

old galleon
#

agir is definitely a dev favorite lol

rapid bough
#

fdg just recently got hers though so there is hope

old galleon
#

plymouth's swimsuit is nice (it'd have been great as an l2d) but like come on

rapid bough
#

yeah

#

dynamic sadge

#

same reason bismarck l2d this event is blessed

old galleon
#

and plymouth is at least reasonably popular, even if she doesn't top the popularity votes

rapid bough
#

she's one of the best vanguard ships in the game

#

give her some love manjuu

old galleon
#

if nothing else she's still extremely powerful gameplay-wise

rapid bough
#

but yeah i want literally every single l2d skin in this event, i'm cooked

old galleon
#

you're cooked with every al event, be real

#

their skin game has been marvelous for at least the last year and a half or so

rapid bough
#

yeah...

#

but they break out all the stops for UR events

old galleon
#

and apparently global anniversary, which is appreciated

rapid bough
#

while i love the random secretary system and wish other games did it (looking at you nikke)

old galleon
#

fdg and pittsburgh being standouts

rapid bough
#

it does suffer from a fatal flaw in how azur lane is currently designed

#

which is that you can only showcase one skin for a ship at a time, if you don't have dupes

#

i hope they do something about that

old galleon
#

1gb update
bruh

rapid bough
#

stone cold downloaded that shit on hotel wifi

old galleon
#

did they like pre-add the noshiro dorm shit here

rapid bough
#

almost certainly

#

think they did that with whatever patch was before the 3d dorm debuted too

rapid bough
#

so i didn't buy pittsburgh's skin because i figured it'd never see the light of day in the lobby

#

definitely gonna get it on next rerun, prolly next black friday

#

or maybe next global anni, if they rerun past skins then

old galleon
#

cope for a skin rerun or wait until black friday, yeah

#

jesus christ

#

something my computer did during this update slowed it to a fuckin crawl for a minute

#

can azur lane please just get a proper pc client

i'm growing tired of bluestacks' bullshit

event story is basically a straight rip of re:zero

#

the mechanics and the terms differ but the fundamentals are the same

#

||shikikan has been pulled from his world into another and helps that world's (timeline's) resistance force by returning from death and using his knowledge to make progress||

#

also, maybe they should consider giving meaningful upgrades to the plot relevant shipgirls?

#

memphis has been shikikan's event canon secretary forever now and she languishes in the bottom of the barrel gameplay-wise

#

helmet has been shown, time and again, to be ridiculously good at what she does, but it's been 3 years since she dropped and has gotten absolutely nothing to show for it

#

and ffs fix the fox girls; akagi and kaga are so absurdly outdated now it's not even funny, and akagi is super plot relevant (and kaga will probably be brought back at some point)

#

i assume they're going to stop running rate-up banners for standard pool dolls whenever we get the ability to choose a rate-up for standard banner

#

which i think i read was planned sometime in february?

#

actually i guess there's no reason for them to stop, since they'd use different pull vouchers

#

so you can use your targeted access perms for a rate-up banner, and standard access perms for standard

#

that said, using targeted access perms for a rate-up banner doll that's in the standard pool is unhinged soooo

unrelated, but holy shit hitting 80% crit on miyabi without her sig is going to suck ass

there's so much of gfl's story i just don't remember

timber sigil
#

in one of the later chapters Commander and AR Team encounter a woman in a remote village who had the power to cure others of ELID which was Machilan

old galleon
#

okay so i assume she won't be relevant in future events at all : ^) (of course she will)

timber sigil
#

I'll get to that part

old galleon
#

(inb4 dead)

timber sigil
#

the original Machilan was kidnapped and experimented on when found out that she was a semi-immunosome, her blood having the healing properties

#

then cloned in order to find the perfect immunosome, which 1 clone was (this specific Machilan)

#

b/c of the cloning process the original's memories become fragmented in her mind

#

SKK and AR Team infiltrate the village of Bohnsdorf in Germany on orders of Earl Griffin to investigate her b/c there's another clone who was relevant to the event prior, she grows fond of SKK and calls him/her 'Robin' even after leaving despite it being an alias used to infiltrate the village

A dirty bomb gets set off in the village and b/c of this she co-operates to help SKK + Team DEFY stop a bomb plot in Berlin by Paradeus which involved a bunch of dirty bombs that spread Epiphyllum pollen infused w/ELID to keep the experiments going so as to find subjects immune to the effects of ELID

SKK's emotions get the better of them after learning that because of the events of the previous 2 story events, Kalina becomes ill due to radiation exposure and Machilan offers to use her blood as a cure for the ELID poisoning as a result of said radiation exposure

#

so they go to a Paradeus lab to make the cure of her blood, Earl Griffin sends his personal doll squad with SKK in case of an ambush (which it is) by the other Machilan clone loyal to Paradeus, and the clone does indeed kill her sadly

#

@old galleon summarising it doesn't have the same oomph as when her death actually happened in the story

Lost the 50/50 😔

#

Got Lycaon ... whos not nearly as good anymore lmao

#

@runic ether so is Soukaku DPS a meme or actually legit?

silver osprey
runic ether
#

especially at higher mindscapes

#

c6 soukaku is better than ellen without ellen's wengine

#

her best team is nicole/anby/soukaku (technically lycaon or lighter beat anby here)

#

actually

#

how invested is your lighter?

#

you could do dual dps lighter/soukaku with lycaon

#

for basically infinite stun

#

the key to it all is that soukaku's ult/chain attack and her normals have really good motion values and multipliers

#

you know how xiangling's pyronado works? soukaku does that in a way with her moves when she infuses ice into them in that she can easily rack up a ton of hits on many enemies and/or the boss

#

dps soukaku runs on 4pc horomone punk generally (if c6, go polar metal) and 2pc crit or 2pc atk

#

critting on soukaku isnt as necessary

#

her dpsing is her hitting like a truck

#

over hitting raw crits

#

and she enables her supports/stunners to deal more personal dmg

#

since you build stunners like a dps anyways and she in turn buffs them too

glossy latch
#

I have her at C6

#

Im just debating if I keep Soukaku as my Ice DPS and save the guarantee for Evelyn

#

Since I only want Miyabi to have an Ice DPS

#

She doesnt seem that fun tbh?

runic ether
#

miyabi? shes a lot of fun if you like playing vergil in dmc

#

gotta weave in hold normals uncharged specials, ex specials, and her ult

#

its quite a fun loop

#

but she can be a pain in the ass to build

#

since she wants at least 80% crit rate

#

ideally 100%

#

My impression was she is mostly an off-fielder as you stack up her orbs for one big attack

runic ether
#

yes and no

#

yes in that she wants field time

#

err

#

yes in that she wants someone else to take up field time

#

no in that she also wants field time

#

its not insignifcant

#

like

#

how to describe

#

she can feel like a second dps/off fielder like burnic

runic ether
#

*burnice

#

if you have a very invested yanagi for instance

#

she'll be somewhat second fiddle to her mostly

#

miyabi has stupid good dps and such and if you have the guarantee for evelyn and want her more, i'd just go for evelyn and then consider astra yao for eve/astra/lighter

#

and if you want an ice dps, soukaku is more than capable especially with lycaon

#

basically idt miyabi is a must pull if you dont actually want miyabi especially not to fulfill a role like ice dps

#

i think ether dps is the one thats in more trouble because while nicole works, she needs her c6 to actually function as your main dps

#

outside c6 she's a full support

glossy latch
#

How reliant is Evelyn on Astra Yao?

runic ether
#

not really

#

its just a case where astra is the 1st limited support

#

and shes quite good

#

zzz's design means even supports do good damage

#

some even take up a dps role

glossy latch
#

Hmm

#

I guess Ill see how good Evelyn is compared to S11

#

If she is a significant upgrade I might keep the guarantee for her

runic ether
#

1st beta, shes not a massive upgrade rather she is a consistent damage dealer

#

where s11 has to have her timings right and her raw dps is on her burst (it makes one of the f2p wengines really good as a result), evelyn has better damage as she doesnt has to time her attacks much

#

granted, her dps peaks arent super high

#

like s11 can nuke the shit out of something with her ult

#

evelyn cant hit that same nuke there

#

but makes up for it with better dmg otherwise

#

it evens out in a case like shiyu defense

#

though for general gamepla, evelyn may be more comfortable a pick

glossy latch
#

Tbh I do like the timing mechanic on S11

#

Ill see I suppose

#

The disadvantage of Miyabi is that I have both her featured A-ranks at C6 now

runic ether
#

you have a lot longer to decide on miyabi

glossy latch
#

So theres not much reason to pull for anything but Miyabi

runic ether
#

def a disadvantage

glossy latch
#

Its an advantage if I want to get Miyabi nyaruhodo

#

Granted at this point idk which A-ranks I dont have at C6 yet

#

Other than Anton

runic ether
#

we def need more a-ranks

glossy latch
#

I think it might be Lucy, Anton and thats it?

#

Ill just check ig

runic ether
#

im short seth and anby

#

i have them both at c4 iirc

glossy latch
#

Nicole, Lucy, Anton and Seth

#

Lucy is the lowest at C1, Nicole the highest at C5

#

Everyone else is already at C6

#

What do you even run on DPS Soukaku build-wise?

glossy latch
#

Which W-Engine?

runic ether
#

the support wengines are all good

#

if you have her personal wengine its the best option

#

theres also lucy's wengine

#

that one is pretty good on her

glossy latch
#

Oh I do have her signature

#

One only tho

silver osprey
#

Still trying to get Sancho Don and instead I get... T Corp Don

glossy latch
#

@runic ether also crit rate disc 4 or just ATK disc 4?

runic ether
#

crit/ice/atk

#

yeah

#

though

#

crit/atk/atk is comparable

glossy latch
#

I already had a good disc 4 so its Ice damage

runic ether
glossy latch
#

Gonna take a while to get the rest of the discs together though

#

I never farmed polar metal, so I have only 2 good discs for it rn

#

Also ngl crit discs in particular are annoying to get

summer hornet
#

I now have c2 yaoyao and c0 Heizou in Genshin

runic ether
#

in an effort to get?

summer hornet
#

...Zhongli

#

I didn't expect to

#

Was tempted to toss a few rolls at Neuv too

#

But I'll just let the stocks rise a bit for Pyro Archon instead

summer hornet
#

Oh D'Arvit

runic ether
#

she has no good f2p claymore options is her issue

summer hornet
#

Power locked behind constellations?

#

Oh

runic ether
#

nah

#

shes very strong from c0

#

the issue is also a case of team options

#

do you have xilonen?

#

if yes, dwai

#

if no, are you going for citlali?

#

if no, your kachina better be c6

#

else you're carrying around kachina as pruely a thing to enable mauvika to work

#

also she is kind of a zhongli merchant

#

without zhongli, she is prone to getting interrupted a lot

#

slightly fixed in the latest buffs since her non-charge attack damage is a bit... better

#

but its not ideal

summer hornet
#

So she wants an established account, albeit not necessary a paid one

#

RIP

runic ether
#

kind of

#

shes also super redundant if you have any other pyro on-field dps

#

any of lyney, hu tao, arlecchino, or yoimiya would be doing her same role

summer hornet
#

I have none of those lol

runic ether
#

even though they all stand out on their own

#

the other "problem" is that she does not solve the xiangling issue

#

like all the others listed above

#

by all means shes outclassed by xiangling still

#

without significant investment that is

#

and shes

#

round of applause for

#

yet another bennett user

#

her optimal teams include bennett/xilonen

#

4th slot is citlali kinda atm

#

only cus you really want that 3rd natlan character to enable her well

#

she can in theory use chevreuse ororon but ororon's main buffs are off electro charged so he'd be worse than fischl in that slot and theres no other pyro or electro natlan character atm to get there

#

so its not even like arle who has non-bennett teams with chevreuse

#

or hu tao who can ditch both

#

or lyney who has multiple off-field pyro options as long as they are pyro

#

or yoimiya who can ditch all of them by turning her brain off

#

mauvika to me, feels like a deeply flawed character into genshin for the state its in and what the pyro element needs/wants

#

we have klee, hu tao, yoimiya, lyney, and arlecchino as on-field pyro dps characters

#

we did not need another

#

we have exactly xiangling as an off-field pyro character (and stupid damage)

#

thoma dehya and xinyan as pyro defense options

#

bennett and chevreuse as our only pyro supports

summer hornet
#

So then who's it gonna be

#

The pyro savior

runic ether
#

at this point we dont know

#

we have a vague idea who will be the cryo savior

#

since apparently we're getting skirk as a cryo character

#

and thats surely building up a true new cryo character to go with the tsaritza in 6.x patches

#

but pyro is all xiangling bennett forever now

ok not too bad

doesn't it let you preview before setting it?

fwiw without context for how whatever discussion about it went, i can at least say that after however long it was, i probably wouldn't have cared too much

as long as he doesn't do anything else to get banned again ofc

We missed you

#

Down to two discs I need to replace for Soukaku

#

One Astral Voice, one Polar metal

#

Probably farming Astral Voice for now and crafting polar metal

glossy latch

How does Soukakus DPS actually compare to a dedicated DPS?
