but speaking of nikke

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

finally squeezed out a grave digger kill

blanc/marciana/rrh/rouge/cindy is the comp

[slow raft]

oh

[honest pawn]

walpipi is in 4 and a half hours guy-sensei

[slow raft]

the standard pulls in nikke have nothing to do with luck tho

[slow raft]

from context im assuming thats supposed to be a standin for walpurgis?

[honest pawn]

yes

[slow raft]

why tho

[rapid bough]

iirc one of her blabla exchanges has her texting the commander while she's holding up an entire building one-handed to buy time for people under it to get out of the way before it finishes collapsing

laplace is stupid strong lol

[old galleon]

emphasis on stupid

[rapid bough]

[wispy goblet]

I'm running into the top five lobby problem now

I can't make cuts....

[rapid bough]

it's a real struggle

[wispy goblet]

Do I put the SR toy on Alice now for the quest
Or do I grind for the R so I can optimize the level up process

[rapid bough]

what does finishing the quest early get you compared to waiting to level the blue doll first

[long tree]

https://vxtwitter.com/wersman2/status/1877126913996566840?t=aVnbh8wajgo0g1T6f-dBFA&s=19

[rapid bough]

FINALLY

after getting every other manufacturer attacker boots like 5 times

finally the arms furnace gave me elysion attacker boots

i can finish my rapihood OLs

[wispy goblet]

100 Fire books right away
Then 300 more Fire books and two SR gift tickets for leveling it up

[rapid bough]

bruh

[rapid bough]

meh not really worth rushing, would just level the blue doll first

doll upgrade materials end up being much harder to come by than the dolls themselves, especially blue dolls

[old galleon]

i heard you like gacha

[slow raft]

bad civ

[rapid bough]

finished rapi 10/10/10 as well

[old galleon]

gacha must be destroyed

this includes equipment stat gacha

[rapid bough]

now to bash my head against a wall optimizing her OL rolls

[old galleon]

anyway they opened ether's episode viewing

what does this imply

[rapid bough]

i was wondering the same thing lol

all of the ones they've chosen have been tie-ins to currently running or upcoming events somehow

now i'm terrified how ether is involved

[wispy goblet]

Maybe the Eva collab is disease-themed

[rapid bough]

not sure eva collab is next

[old galleon]

eva collab's supposed to be next month, right?

[rapid bough]

can't remember if they even announced the date(s)

[wispy goblet]

Uhh
Missilis collab next?

Collab

Event

[rapid bough]

that said, the lead-in to the last eva collab was ein + zwei and the MMR school stories

since the eva collab story heavily featured the MMR students

[wispy goblet]

Ether Overspec incoming

[rapid bough]

and ether was specifically involved in the zwei event

(and is involved in general with MMR research)

so maybe we'll get more school events next

idk what characters they'd involve though, pretty sure they've exhausted all previously introduced school NPCs

[wispy goblet]

But what if they did it
again

[old galleon]

they'll just introduce a dark skinned teacher to contrast with marciana

[rapid bough]

https://tenor.com/R40w.gif

all is as it should be

sorry scarlet

you had a nice run

god help me when we get overspec anis for the 2.5 anni

i won't be able to choose from all these wives

[old galleon]

i think 2.5 is more likely to be chime

but ehh

[rapid bough]

i'd love chime

but i think they're setting up too many overspec nikkes at once for it not to be an overspec

since now they compete with pilgrim releases

we've got all of absolute, mihara, and anis set up at minimum

obviously neon eventually needs one too, but that hasn't been set up to nearly the same degree yet

||though DEEP in the rapi event seemingly having neon's glasses hanging from the hem of her robe is HELLA sus||

[old galleon]

||either deep is neon herself, neon is a member of whatever group deep is part of, or it's a red herring||

||and in character design, i don't think red herrings are particularly common||

[rapid bough]

||no shot it's a red herring, they emphasize how weird neon's glasses are for like 2 recent story chapters straight||

[old galleon]

||design elements are intentional, and deep's glasses resembling neon's is 100% intentional||

[rapid bough]

||can't be a coincidence DEEP has them (or something like them)||

||hard to really say what's up there though, because we know basically nothing about DEEP or the group she's associated with||

||and it's hard to imagine neon as some secret mastermind, in large part because it would require completely redefining her character up to this point which i don't think they'd do, since gacha is all about selling characters||

[old galleon]

||she's a spy, just not one for ingrid, clearly||

||and they were playing us for fools from the start||

[slow raft]

||she does empathize that shes a spy the entire time||

[rapid bough]

||maybe DEEP saw rapi/red hood merge and, for some reason, ended up doing something similar with neon and has basically just been watching shit unfold ever since||

[wispy goblet]

||but when would that have happened||

[slow raft]

||sitting in the back of neons mindpalace, eating popcorn||

[rapid bough]

||no idea lol, basically everyone in the main story right now is at least decades older than SKK and has lived through basically all major events in the story, who's to say neon isn't among that group||

[old galleon]

||becoming fixated on this thing she calls "firepower"||

[rapid bough]

||either way, my point is that they've written neon in such a way that it'd require a major change in direction for her to have been a super duper serious mastermind spy for the nikke illuminati this entire time||

[wispy goblet]

||well apparently Shift Up isn't even done with the prologue to their story so||

[rapid bough]

||pivoting from her ditzy comedic relief "firepower" obsession to sudden super serious james bond shit might lose some neon fans||

[wispy goblet]

||maybe they do recontextualize her character successfully||

[rapid bough]

||well i'm sure they will recontextualize her and her presence in the story, i'm just not convinced that will require a radical change in character direction||

||for better or worse, gachas sell character personalities, which requires them to be fairly stable and consistent||

[old galleon]

||tbf the goofy shit got kinda old after a few chapters, neon's by far my least favorite of the core three||

[rapid bough]

||oh absolutely, and same here||

[old galleon]

||anis was incredibly abrasive at first but she's grown on me at least a bit||

[wispy goblet]

||they don't have to change her personality, but they could totally milk the pathos of Neon being an actually competent and damaging spy and Counters asks if their relationship was all just a lie||

[rapid bough]

||i feel like they already kinda teased that way early in the story, i wanna say ch7 or so||

||when anis and her nearly had a falling out because of the whole "i'm a spy" schtick||

[wispy goblet]

||in those immortal words: it's like poetry, it rhymes||

||this time, it's much more serious||

[rapid bough]

||it was pretty serious back then too, which is why retreading that ground would feel awkward to me||

||unless neon is faking it, she was also very surprised by her glasses' capabilities||

||i think the most likely way they play it is her just unaware she's actually been acting as a spy all this time despite never actually doing any spy things||

[old galleon]

||what can her glasses do anyway?||

[rapid bough]

||someone somewhere has been watching through her glasses||

[rapid bough]

||we basically don't know their full capabilities. when elegg sees them in c28 (?) she basically says they're incredibly advanced with near-supercomputer capabilities. one of the things elegg turns on (after she installs BOOM on them) is basically super-infrared vision which they use several times in that chapter||

[old galleon]

||..........||

||elegg you dork||

[rapid bough]

||elegg also notes that the compute power in her glasses is running at full throttle doing something,; they're not dormant||

[wispy goblet]

||we love dorks in this house||

[rapid bough]

||but yeah, i think it's pretty likely she is a spy, but unwittingly, in the sense that ingrid told her she's a spy but she's a moron and took that at face value without actually taking to heart or doing any of the things a spy is expected to do||

||meanwhile someone's watching everything through her glasses||

||iirc elegg (resident tech expert) also said the tech in her glasses isn't something any of the big three would be capable of making, which reinforces the notion they're not directly attached to ingrid/elysion||

Full stop hong lu and heath are so silly

[slow raft]

wapurgisnacht starting of good

2nd 10 pull and i manage to lose a 50/50 even in limbus

the number of 10 pulls it took me to get this shouldve been obvious in hindsight

[rapid bough]

made bad pull decisions because pulling on a weapon banner is always a bad decision

but at least i got it in 40 pulls

[timber sigil]

look

if it makes you feel better

i'm contemplating going for v6 daiyan

[rapid bough]

🫡

was nice knowing you

azur lane still in maintenance, but news is trickling out for the event after yk2 rerun (LNY event)

so far confirmed, from what i can find in bits and pieces on the subreddit:

new dragon empery CA - chien wu
new LNY skins

• brest (l2d)
• mainz (l2d)
• jean bart (l2d)

seems like that's all that is known so far

the brest l2d skin is the only one i've seen an uncensored still for (since this news is coming out of CN almost everything is censored), and it's not something i can post here but looks peak and will probably be one i get, not a fan of her other l2d skin

that atelier logic bulltet really do be hitting different, no wonder these fuckheads were always broke

[silver osprey]

Apparently with mirror dungeon shenanigans atelier bullet can reach 5 digits of damage

[slow raft]

i believe it

[runic ether]

man what. this is not what i wanted to send. (though idr what i wanted to send at this time either)

[honest pawn]

I'm fucking miserable

I'm 100 pulls in and I have a malkuth announcer, a netzach announcer, and heathcliff

all I wanted was Hong Lu

my gacha luck has been absolute dogshit the past couple months

I don't wanna wait 4 fucking months just to spark for this unit man

[slow raft]

im sure youll get another one of the units in the remaining 100 rolls

[honest pawn]

fuck off

I don't have any rolls left

[slow raft]

the last walpurgisnacht was 4 moths ago

i haven't been posting my results from another eden's free 10 rolls but today i just got 16 more shadow for minalca

so i can finally finish her stellar board lol

https://i.imgur.com/GXK203v.jpeg

beautiful

oh and they added a ton of new astral archive fights

which i'm probably gonna slack on bc i've been mostly slacking on ae in general the last few weeks

[glossy latch]

Ok finally obtained Carlotta

Now I just need to get static mist

[versed pawn]

i mean u can also just pull for her weapon at this point

reminder theres no 50/50 on weapon banners in wuwa they are 100% guranteed

[wispy goblet]

I don't know if I like the implications of this

[glossy latch]

I would have to farm more

And I dont really feel like farming more rn lmao

Plus I could try getting Brant and then the bat lady whose name eludes me

Zani?

[slow raft]

Max level tier 9 manufacturer equipment now can be powered up and permanently bound to the nikke thats equiping it
And then you get to hunt for stat rolls

[old galleon]

i don't recommend hunting for stat rolls immediately

it's possible but painful; i think it's better to go for a solid base first

[slow raft]

Yeah

[glossy latch]

Oh the new region has a decent craftable gun for Carlotta

[digital marlin]

Didn't know you played Ovven

[glossy latch]

Wuthering Waves?

Yeah, I've talked about it a couple of times

I like the gameplay, I think the worldbuilding is cool, I'm only annoyed by the writing which seems to focus more on growing Rovers Harem than anything else

Understandable 1.0 story was a mess but 2.0 being so much better made it tolerable

because it has that fighter jet look but it moves like a dragonfly in combat

[rapid bough]

[old galleon]

it's a fantastic skin

just wish it were l2d

[glossy latch]

I mean its three attacks, the first I've seen on so many dragons in video games and anime that it really doesnt seem that similar

[rapid bough]

they've been upping their skin game and dynamics are no exception

[glossy latch]

The second one I can maybe sorta see, but even then, a stomp and a sweep are pretty common

And the third one is just a spiritbomb

Oh I see why that twitter post isnt embedding

[rapid bough]

what levels and gear and good nikkes do to a mf

i can't remember the last solo raid i didn't solo all the stages on lol

the last challenge stage is the one that always demands all 5 teams, everything before that is just a formality

[slow raft]

maybe this time ill be able to finish stage 4

damn ice dragon had like 1 attack that prevented all but one of my teams to pass

[rapid bough]

like it one-shot you?

or you couldn't kill the interrupt circles

the interrupt circles i could get though but while doing it it did constant aoe damage, which sorta killed all the nikkes

I think i'm at 140 pulls rn and i've gotten magic bullet outis and fs hc

[slow raft]

yeah i got hong lu and outis in the first 70

and then nothing for 130

but thats what pity is for

[vernal snow]

Icy

Apart from the featured stuff i mentioned and a few 00 i don't think i've gotten anything else

Kinda unfortunate since i do want dawnclair and regret faust but my luck sucks so what can i do

[slow raft]

its kinda crazy how much of burns is locked to walpurgisnacht

[vernal snow]

Will not complain if i get the new hong lu along the way too, kinda surprised i haven't gotten it since the dude basically loves me (i have like 3 of his 3* IDs? it's the most i have rn)

[vernal snow]

PM either hates burn or loves it so much they feel it's an exclusive cool guys club

[slow raft]

i mean i dont have any extensive testing yet but idkt you want to use either of the fullstop ids without the other one so that might be good

[vernal snow]

They're both pretty good in their own right but with the other one they're unstoppable

not sure how well x maiden does there yet

[rapid bough]

the "kill it in one shot" mechanic is just the biggest dumpster fire because it's so easy to clip the damn part's MASSIVE hitbox with a stray bullet

to be absolutely sure you can hit it, you have to spend like 75% of the damage reduction phase in cover to make sure no one other than your charge shot nikke can possibly hit the part you need to kill in one shot

it's such garbage

azur lane introducing a new skin tier, "dual form dress-up" (MTL apparently, will probably be different when official) that's basically two skins (1 L2D, 1 dynamic) in one that you can switch between

Handsome man

[old galleon]

https://i.imgur.com/JU4NlEi.png

so fuckin close to a solo

interrupts caught me in bad timing too; i almost failed two of them bc they started with rapi on reload

[old galleon]

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

stage 7 cleared

first run had some really bad luck so i did less damage than i shoudl have

https://i.imgur.com/pT1RiE5.png

so do people not do the challenge stage until toward the end or something

there's no shot i'm staying in top 2% right?

https://i.imgur.com/muG2S2z.png

there's how my team comps looked

(not enough good fire units to have them in all 5 while making the comps make sense, but still)

[rapid bough]

correct

yeah 740m ain't staying that highly ranked lol

i'd bet a single one of my teams beats that number

and any whale blows it (and me) out of the water

[old galleon]

yeah that sounds about right

[slow raft]

Do i wait one more day or do i cash out all these sr nikkes now?

[rapid bough]

cash in your support/defender/attacker consoles first you swine

what would be the benefit of waiting another day to cash in your molds though

besides dopamine for getting to open tetra and pilgrim too

(which btw would be worth)

[slow raft]

Already did

[slow raft]

Well then i can do all 6 at once

[rapid bough]

oh yeah then you gotta wait for it

[slow raft]

So true

Anyways, finally got my sbs to 10/7/10

And i got her a funko and got that to level 15

[rapid bough]

[slow raft]

Its only r but surely at some point i will get an sr one

[rapid bough]

once you can full clear solo raid, the last pre-challenge stage gives an SR doll selector

[old galleon]

you should have at least one selector box, ye?

[slow raft]

I got one at the start of the game

I used that for cindy

[rapid bough]

on the nikke survey, i reported i was "extremely dissatisfied" with the naga gacha costume and left a note saying the cost is ridiculous, either lower the cost or add more features to make it remotely justifiable

i hope no one reading the survey looks it up and sees i bought the costume

[slow raft]

oh hey, i managed stage 5 with only two squads

[rapid bough]

moving up in the world

[digital marlin]

they would just see you as a unsatisfied costumer dont see the issue there

[old galleon]

nikke survey didn't have a general comments section so in the part about rapi i told them to make firing rate frame independent

(they will not do this)

[rapid bough]

i hope no one looks it up and sees this is the third gacha costume i've bought

[wispy goblet]

I hate the simulation room

[rapid bough]

they said they have updates planned for it to make it less annoying

but it's like 2 minutes max/day so whatever

[wispy goblet]

I also neglected it for weeks because I hated it

so now I'm behind on books

[rapid bough]

what do you hate about it

[wispy goblet]

it ends up being a big time sink
and at the difficulty I'm challenging at relative to my cheese pizza combat power
I sometimes have to manually play

granted, doing my dailies is like an hour, two hour commitment, so maybe it's not actually that bad
but it feels bad

[rapid bough]

hour commitment?

my dailies take 10 minutes tops

[wispy goblet]

man is the flash

[rapid bough]

you do know that if you do a high floor on the sim room, you automatically get the rewards of lower floors you hadn't cleared yet right

[slow raft]

and also you can skip regular battles

[wispy goblet]

yeah
it's still a pain because I'm doing all the rounds at a deficit

so no skippies

[rapid bough]

if you're in a hurry then just do the highest floor you can do that isn't at a deficit so you can quick battle through

better that than just skipping sim room entirely since you don't wanna deal with manual'ing it

[wispy goblet]

I still don't see how you do all your dailies in minutes

tribe tower is like five minutes
arena is like ten minutes
simulation is another three minutes

[rapid bough]

ten minute arena wot

i assure you i don't spend more than a minute on either of these parts

tribe tower i'll give you since you're still progressing it so you have to do at least 3 floors/day on the manufacturer towers

[slow raft]

you can also skip arena battles

[rapid bough]

i only do 1 floor of tribe tower/day

[slow raft]

this is an option you need to enable

[rapid bough]

even without skipping i'm flabbergasted that it would take 10 mins

[wispy goblet]

it's not really the battles that take so long
it's the menu navigation and trying to find a winnable battle

[rapid bough]

tomorrow i'll record myself doing dailies or smth and you can see how i operate but i almost guarantee you're overcomplicating things in some areas

my dailies were unnecessarily long today though because I FUCKING HATE MIRROR CONTAINER

worst boss in the fucking universe, is2g every attempt makes me hate it as much as the first time i tried

azur lane knows i'm collecting the horni infinity stones

[old galleon]

no last origin

[rapid bough]

snowbreak is also an option here (off-screen), once upon a time i would have checked that as well

asked for a PC client in the azur lane survey freeform suggestion box

(it's not going to happen)

[old galleon]

more likely to happen than frame independence in nikke

[rapid bough]

true, but that's not saying much

[old galleon]

if i remember, i'll go do the survey tomorrow after i get back

[rapid bough]

speaking of AL, i'm gonna have to up my farming game and break out 2 different mob fleets or something

the HVAR drop rate is shit

and we only get a week to farm prints for it

[old galleon]

they changed the drop rates? big rip

[rapid bough]

idk if they changed it or if it was always shit

i feel like it was always shit

because gear print drop rate has always been shit

[old galleon]

iirc on the original run drop rates were insanely good

[rapid bough]

[wispy goblet]

okay
time to do a lot of friend list trimming

people are not sending me friend points

which is weird because it also tells me I can't accept more friend points sometimes

[rapid bough]

you can only get 30 max per day, and you get 2 per friend that sends any

so you only need half your friends list to send you points

[wispy goblet]

oh

[rapid bough]

assuming you have a maxed out list

[wispy goblet]

yeah I'm at 30

[rapid bough]

that said, it definitely helps to trim the list

i remove people who haven't logged on for a few days

[wispy goblet]

we're "almost" there

[rapid bough]

who you liberating first

[slow raft]

i thought of putting of my second liberation target since i hear once i clear like
chapter 22
i get another option

but thats gonna take a bit

[wispy goblet]

Quency
for the titties

here's my mostly relevant collection
starting to be able to field multiple elemental teams now

when should I reset Anis and put her investment onto one of my SSRs

[old galleon]

if you want to save gems, then whenever you mlb your next ssr

(just remember to put her in synchro device if you use her for pvp)

[wispy goblet]

okay so I didn't time it
but I crossreferenced the chat
and my dailies today took like 30-45 minutes

[slow raft]

im gonna time my dailies tomorrow too

[rapid bough]

based

the first one i did was guilty but quency is my favorite

both for the reasons you said and because she's actually cute and wholesome

kinda the odd one out of the liberation trio

guilty: literally crushed several people
sin: mind controlled people and aided and abetted heinous crimes
quency: petty thief

[rapid bough]

yikes

even on a bad day like today where i have to bash my head against a mirror container-shaped wall my dailies won't pass 20 mins

and to be clear i'm not counting days where there's like... event story to read or something

since obviously that can add a significant amount of extra time

[wispy goblet]

ahh
I did include the story
but that wasn't a particularly intense part today

[rapid bough]

just the hard mode epilogue i assume

[wispy goblet]

ye

she's being used to fuel mjolnir shit in dark

if other elements are using enmity for mjolnir shit, then i assume she can be used there too

tldr mjolnir has an enormous damage multiplier for all damage instances, if they hit (normal attacks take an accuracy hit)

skills, particularly the one given to mc by orologia summon, become incredibly powerful

Why is everyone talking about Mjolnir?

Because this weapon makes it very easy to hit for obscene numbers due to is 100%/700% (800??) crit damage multiplier on ALL damage instances, not just auto attacks.

decent thread on it

[summer hornet]

I didn't click on it at first because I assumed it wasn't an official post

But it IS

https://vxtwitter.com/honkaistarrail/status/1877928450473771477

HSR either felt like they weren't getting enough 3.0 hype already or wanted to beat the leakers idk which

Both options are terrifying

[runic ether]

its cus of leakers showing off castorice stuff

not too long ago

[summer hornet]

Okay the latter then lol

Still terrifying but understandable

[runic ether]

they showed off her standing and idle stance with her scythe

so it was planned to have her show up

[summer hornet]

Hoyo just said "we're showing EVERYTHING"

Not everything but like- way more than we would've known till next week

[runic ether]

3.0 is already quite hype since its looking to be a new spin on long-time favorite hoyoverse characters

and they are starting off the 3.x patches with the herta and strong reruns

[summer hornet]

Popular franchise characters, evolutions of preexisting characters, massive lore implications for pretty much everyone in the main party (and possibly the entire universe of HSR), and that's before getting into all the new gameplay mechanics

It's massive

[runic ether]

yeah it should be a pretty big update as a whole but thats to be expected as its 3.0

same way 2.0 was pretty huge

[summer hornet]

Also a fair point lol

[torn harbor]

the crazy part? ||apparently leakers claim this is part of a 3 phase ult and that was the third...||

[slow raft]

im 100% on pilgrim from pilgrim molds

[rapid bough]

[long tree]

I'm trying out mauvika rn and I find her to be kinda underwhelming but ig that's what I get for failing to get xilonen

[rapid bough]

alright i clocked in at around 14 mins, but i didn't count loading into the game because i'm just doing other shit while that's happening lol

however that's counting solo raid (not a usual daily fixture) and the one tower floor i did today being a goddamn wave defense mode which is like 2 minutes longer than usual

CBA to break it all down like you did guy, respect for doing that lol

there was also about a minute of reading blabla chats somewhere in there, which isn't really a necessarily daily activity but i do it anyway

[slow raft]

Audible gasp

Also, "i wanted nmmore people to turn racist against me" is almsot as crazy out of context as it is in context

[wispy goblet]

timed myself
45 minutes for dailies

granted some of that time is me alt-tabbed while the game runs
but still

[slow raft]

Tbf im also basically alway doing other shit while dailies happen lmao

[long tree]

Fgo farming sucks ass bro

How do you go nearly 10 years without skip tickets or anything

I need 20 more class pieces to get up Rasputin, 20*3 waves is 60, i got 60 waves to uncap a unit once

[rapid bough]

i'm actually reasonably active when actually doing dailies, everything requires interaction except tower and the last sim room

but the long load time i'm definitely checked out lol

[rapid bough]

i repeat: psycho

she is basically an anarchist and wants to topple the whole damn system

and like all anarchists, she is a psycho

[old galleon]

pretty sure that one depends how you define anarchy

but crow's breed of it is based on her being deranged, yes

[wispy goblet]

watching the footage back
the big time sinks for me are simulation room
and towers, although today was long because I had all four towers available

[old galleon]

tbf once you get strong enough you just skip sim room through normals unless you're building up buff chain for some reason

but that's probably a ways off since 5c wants like 131k cp minimum

[wispy goblet]

dang we playing five colors in Nikke too?

are Omnath's bond stories any good

[rapid bough]

who lol

[wispy goblet]

and yeah
my teams are usually around 43k base
I reach about 73k with maxed out boosts
I can clear 5b mostly reliably
although final boss sometimes takes two teams

[rapid bough]

buff chain is worth building for sim room overclock (and before you can just stomp 5c with unbuffed teams)

[wispy goblet]

MTG character
is played in five-color (5c) decks
is joke

[rapid bough]

i slowly build buff chains over 2 weeks though

since that's what the sim room overclock reset time is

[wispy goblet]

I haven't tried 5c, but I think that's a bridge too far even with eight buffs

[rapid bough]

fwiw sim room doesn't have combat power deficit penalties

it's just that obviously raptures get stronger so eventually they're too hard anyway

[wispy goblet]

minor thing but I hate rebuilding my teams after wipes
very annoying

anyway you people are zooming
aint no way I could do dailies sub-30

[rapid bough]

https://tenor.com/bVG8n.gif

[wispy goblet]

even without sim room I'm hitting 25-30 for everything else

[rapid bough]

on a normal 1-tower day i genuinely don't know how that's possible

that's gettin boomed

even i think nero's too much unspoilered lol

[wispy goblet]

anyway tetra mold paid out so poggers (thigh only edition)

[rapid bough]

better

[old galleon]

UMU

[rapid bough]

i've lost track of how many D3 sorties i've done and i think i've landed a grand total of like 11 HVAR BPs

it's so joever

don't you need like 5-6 of these for a proper anti-light loadout

just realized i cleared yk2 banner in 30 pulls

got yk2 on the first 10-pull, and then northampton2 and hammam2 on the third

i don't have hornet2 yet, but obviously not pulling specifically for her either

just praying for D3 to save me

i have yet to miss membership in the 8k currency saved club since starting the game

even during my very first event where i didn't even know what that was or meant

i lucked into the event shop/D3 ship off banner lol

Did it get demoted to an event fight or what?

[silver osprey]

Yeah there's an event where you beat it to get 2 gifts

[slow raft]

Yeah but i mean

Other event fights still can be floor bosses

[silver osprey]

Yeah AFAIK it's really just an event boss now

Thankfully

[slow raft]

Like dream devouring siltcurrent has an event and still gets to jumpscare you

[silver osprey]

Having it jumpscare me as a floorboss would make my MD runs extend for like 20 more minutes

[slow raft]

I mean depending on the team you bring you could kust ignore its mechanics, no?

I just have RR1 trauma

Just a few more days until FGO and HSR are live again

[rapid bough]

nice, she a baddie (in the good way)

also more MMR lore should be cool

also finally full cleared gfl2 boss fight tier 8 after ~2 hours of bashing my head against a wall

the RNG of the first phase drove me goddamn nuts

but now i have it full cleared for all time and can get my max boss ticket income each week on auto, nice

[slow raft]

Nice i got two sr sniper dolls, i figure i should give them to rouge and ein, right? (Alice and d already have one)

Also, is noir any good?

[rapid bough]

yes give one to ein, but meh on giving the other one to rouge. they mean less on supports that aren't used for campaign prog

i'd save the other for when you get red hood

[slow raft]

[rapid bough]

she used to be very good by merit of being the only pair to blanc

now she's less relevant since usually rouge is better for that

however, occasionally you use rouge solo in which case you still need noir to pair blanc in another team

and she's a decent off-burst buffer on her own

beware her mag size buff + reload though, it makes her awkward to use alongside teammates with "last bullet" skills like dorothy, privaty, and s.anis (who i know you don't have, but still)

[slow raft]

yes, by far

isabel is useless

noah is good for PvP

[slow raft]

yeah those kits arent looking to good

same with harran

[rapid bough]

scarlet is also good for PvP, and a decent PvE DPS even if she's been powercrept

harran is meh

she's good early in the game in wave content where she can one-shot everything and spread her DoT around

doesn't scale well though

Finally got a half-decent disc 1 for Miyabi

Sadly 2 rolls went onto DEF but at least 1 each CR/CD

Also I just realised my Seth had the wrong discs all along

No wonder the team felt weak

one of these days, you'll graduate from train-kun

only to run straight into octopus-kun

(and a bunch of other meanies)

on the upside, getting ceremoniously destroyed by any of them is still more rewarding than killing train, so

[rapid bough]

speaking of, so that all those who follow don't make the same mistake as me

[old galleon]

lmao

bringing a fire unit to a water boss who hits on element for more damage already sounds like a losing move

never mind the fight's mechanics

Mirror Container
Burst 1: Tia | Liter
Burst 2: Naga
Burst 3: Cinderella | Ein

this is a first draft of what i intend to bring to that fight when i'm ready to farm it

x maiden is also one i was considering

fwiw i'm planning on using rapi everywhere else but she's staying far the fuck away from mirror

[rapid bough]

it's the mechanics of the fight that make her untenable, the elemental weakness isn't really a factor if you use her as a B1 because she does so much more damage than any other B1

but her explodey attachments totally fuck things up

my ein isn't geared enough to one-shot the slippers in the damage reduction phase or i'd use her

today i finally settled on crown / liter / alice / cindy / naga

and for the first time i actually killed all the slippers

so that'll probably be my comp until i get ein nearly as geared as alice

sounds the same to me

just more emotion in it than usual

everyone saying it's the same VA as citali from genshin

quick google says that is skyler davenport

who is also credited as mana's VA

soooooo

yeah, as far as i can tell, same VA

[wispy goblet]

Is Davenport in the SAG union?

idk why but nikke keeps freezing after i read through a backlog relic in red ash

patch notes are out, confirmed that the helm/milk/miranda/drake favorite items are coming next patch

4.2 Added a Quick Battle option to the cleared stages in Solo Raid.

4.3 Simplified the daily missions.

4.4 Added a Quick Simulation feature to Simulation Room.

quick sim 👀

also interested in how they "simplified" the daily missions

6.1 Currently, we have temporarily changed the English voiceovers for certain characters due to personal reasons of some English voice actors. Please refer to the list below for the characters whose voiceovers have been changed.

• Miranda
• Milk
  temp VAs for two of the nikkes that are getting favorite items is... unfortunate

apparently milk being a temp VA isn't because of the strike, it's because her VA is recovering from surgery

so hopefully she recovers well and will be back soon

[rapid bough]

i'll be honest i think the nikke playerbase would double (hyperbole but still) if they just fixed the long-ass loading times lol

the daily experience would be so much better if a large portion of it wasn't waiting for loading screens

unfortunately i'm pretty certain it's because of the anti-cheat they use, and anti-cheat software is notorious for causing this type of shit and being difficult to remove

ganbare

wait, does makiatto's dress skin stay in the store permanently? or does it leave the store when her banner ends?

it doesn't seem to have a date/timeout on it in the store

[timber sigil]

if there's no date/timeout then it's probably permanent

[rapid bough]

[glossy latch]

Ok, close to getting to the 420 breakpoint for Jane

At this point that + the seth upgrade should make her team good again

would greatly appreciate it if interception stopped giving me abnormal gear for the exactly 0 collab characters i have

[slow raft]

My first like

4 pieces i got frim it was abnormal gear

On the bright side

I wont have to farm much once i actually get one

[glossy latch]

... ok I think I dont wanna farm any more discs for Jane

At this point disc 6 would only be a minor upgrade

@runic ether who is the best support for Miyabi/Yanagi? And for Jane Doe/Seth?

[runic ether]

miyabi/yanagi/caesar or astra or soukaku all work

caesar is more defensive

astra is nice for the playstyle

soukaku is raw buffs but lacks utility and her own dmg

jane/seth/caesar or burnice or piper

caesar again defense + buffs

burnice/piper for more anomaly time

ooh lol

i forgot rina

for miyabi/yanagi

rina is cracked

lacks any defense

nukes up both of their damage

especially with c1 rina

[rapid bough]

it knows the evangelion and stellar blade collabs are coming, it's just trying to do you a solid

[glossy latch]

Ok, 3* Shiyu 5 with Lucy for Jane and Rina for Miyabi

Wait, Piper with Jane?

[runic ether]

they both hog field time

but they can both still work very well since the dmg from piper is still great

[glossy latch]

God I hate Thanatos as a boss

[rapid bough]

setting aside nineveh which is absolute dogshit

i think my least favorite boss in the game is bringer

the fight is just a visual clusterfuck and has way too many immunity phases and unclear attack animations

shoutout to the big belobog machine bosses though, especially the piledriver one

fucking hate those

[glossy latch]

Oh Bringer I enjoy

Mostly because hes easy lmao

Thanatos just keeps teleporting which is very annoying for yanagi

Because if you dont time it right he makes your disorder go poof

Anyway, A-ranked Shiyu 7

I think Rina needs to be upgraded now

Still, good progress

[rapid bough]

ok fair

he's definitely not hard, but i just find him tedious as hell

similar to why i hate nineveh

except nineveh is 100x worse

tfw lost void replaced nineveh with bringer

😭

[runic ether]

bringer is really easy tbh

i dont really see the struggle

[rapid bough]

so is nineveh lol

doesn't mean i don't hate the fight mechanics

and with bringer specifically it's just so visually noisy

basically i hate the bosses that are just straight up not fun, either due to long periods of doing nothing or visual noise making it unclear wtf is actually going on, etc

actual challenging ones i'm fine with, assuming the challenge isn't built on bullshit like i thought doppelganger jane was for a long time before i finally got her moveset down

[versed pawn]

Nice got m1 miyabi

Maybe we lick out on a early m2 in the next 7 days

[old galleon]

happened again

so we're at least 3/3 on this

[glossy latch]

Tbh I enjoy Bringer, he is just easy because of how the arm summoning gives you a free 5 seconds to hit him

[rapid bough]

growing close to another dopamine hit

poggers buying mold parts with my spare DNA pays off

[rapid bough]

(you should always buy mold parts with your spare DNA)

but nice

i hate her, but nice

[wispy goblet]

is there anything else to spend DNA on in the late game

or just recycling parts and molds

[slow raft]

got an elegg dupe

[wispy goblet]

I forgot you get sex free copies of any mix of Liter, Naga, and Alice as a new player
one copy per 100 regular pulls

[slow raft]

yeah, in one more pull ill be able to mlb alice thanks to it

[rapid bough]

no

[rapid bough]

of these, molds is the only thing worth spending it on

if any gacha shop offers you a set of options for a currency and one of the options is more pulls, it is almost always the only thing you should ever buy with that currency

and that's molds in this case

[rapid bough]

indeed it is very blessed

that was a recent addition during the 2nd anni and they nailed it

guaranteed pity is one thing, but guaranteed pity of very good characters is quite generous of them

[wispy goblet]

gonna hold off for a bit
once I pull enough to MLB all three
I'll cash it in
so I'm almost guaranteed to have 4 Nikke's set to MLB
Rapunzel: PG, Liter, Naga, and Alice

then I'll probably end up MLBing Soda Bunny because I already have two stars with her

what's my process for cube
I've been slowrolling the expedition-thing-puzzle-mode

resilience to level 7, then bastion to level 7, then resilence to level 15

most lost sectors just unlock new cubes though

and most of the cubes aren't very useful

resilience is the best, bastion is a distant but still decent second

quantum (whenever you get it) is useful for PvP units like jackal/centi/anis

vigor and healing cube are both decent for healing nikkes (vigor is usually better since most nikke heals scale with their max HP, but healing is nice when you run out of vigor slots)

the rest go basically unused

but they're better than nothing if you have a free slot

since they give stats

[wispy goblet]

so aside from doing all the sectors at least once
I should repeat the sectors with the good cubes?

[old galleon]

at equivalent levels bastion should be best on like, cindy

resilience best on most outside of specific contexts like pvp
