but if vivian is super unique im going in for her

[rapid bough]

👀

[runic ether]

we used to pray for times like these

[rapid bough]

obviously this is about as unconfirmed as leaks get lol

[runic ether]

also i will be hoping to grab a pulchra in whatever banner she is in

[rapid bough]

but ether so desperately needs more damage options

[runic ether]

physical stunner a-rank

in the sons of calydon

meaning her + lucy or her + ceasar can enable red moccus who has a pretty good ability for a bangboo

and can help carry basically any dps i believe

[rapid bough]

i already use moccus quite a lot in teams with burnice+caesar lol

guess that's mostly just my jane team nowadays

i did use burnice+lucy+moccus just earlier today for deadly assault this reset though

not that moccus's ability really matters that much for a boss fight

[runic ether]

for pompey?

[rapid bough]

yeah

[runic ether]

yeah no that guy is overly aggressive

but if you are actually stunning a lot then it comes up

[rapid bough]

what is his interaction with stuns, i thought he just had a resonaboo like ability to gather enemies

[runic ether]

his base attack is really good

the skil cd reduction is irrelevant vs bosses but his dps is good enough to make a difference

especially with dupes

[rapid bough]

i'm still not following what the connection with stuns is

[runic ether]

chain attacks

you can reliably have him attack from it

it can set up consistent damage points

[rapid bough]

but how often are you getting to trigger bangboo chain attacks against random mooks

[runic ether]

not randoms. vs bosses.

its not massive there but the damage is big enough that u can make a pass where a team would have say

s11/stun/lucy

11/pulchra/lucy

would be more optimal cus red moccus is better than most other bangboo damage options

or 11/pulchra/ceasar

for same reason

[rapid bough]

ok you had me lost with the "skill cd reduction is irrelevant vs bosses" lol

so i thought you were talking about random mobs

[runic ether]

oh nah lol the skill cd reduction only works if moccus kills thing i believe

or if you kill mobs

so thats irrelevant vs bosses

the thing that matters for moccus vs the boss would be

the fat damage

[rapid bough]

one of the few bangboos where using the chain attack is actually worth it, interesting

[runic ether]

amillion is also up there

cus it has a ton of hits

at least for bosses

[rapid bough]

i remember cui being pretty good too, though he doesn't really come up much now that jane has better partners than seth

[runic ether]

agent cui is also decent cus the speed and can help with some set ups

The final fight in chapter 15 of LB7 ||is BS gimmicks on top of BS gimmicks, and as such completely insufferable. Took like ten tries to get it down pat, cycling from Bazett to Space Ishtar to Super Orion until I finally got the right setup||

||reducing buff rate AND debuff success rate, swapping party positions, gaining 3 stacks of invincibility every turn, and applying an unremovable infinite duration terror debuff at the very start of the battle... Solving one left me open to the others, in an impressively exasperating loop||

[old galleon]

i assume you don't have jalter? bc this version of the fight is incredibly free if you one turn it

sitting through it for 9 turns seems annoying, hence the need to just burst him down

||i'll grant that his invincibility is annoying but you should have sweet crystal at the very least, if not other ignore invincibility ce's||

Nope lmao. Probably never getting her too

Buff nullify would've definitely changed the game

[summer hornet]

I do have that, and I ran it on Spishtar - but then she kept getting terror-ized every turn, which is why I switched to Super Orion

astra's free quick assists complement the constant rotations of miyabi/yanagi so well

my PB on the first half of shiyu 7 was 1m30s with miyabi/nagi/caesar and i'm pretty sure i just halved that with miyabi/nagi/astra lol

and i don't even have astra fully invested, her core skill is still one away from max

Oh I see

The Herta is busted busted

[wispy goblet]

these devs are having too much fun with Lost Sector

[slow raft]

I got to the first one where you have to do 2 teams and i never finished it

[wispy goblet]

unfortunately the cubes are there

and those are good so

thankfully the best cubes come in fairly early

I can finally use the skin I bought (she is outclassed by my other units)

[slow raft]

Solo raid will make it worth, trust

[rapid bough]

also can always use her as one of your 5 lobby screens (please shift up let us set more than 5)

[slow raft]

Speaking of skind i can finally use

Totally forgot i got that red hood freebie

[rapid bough]

you should uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh probably do them lol

they give lots of recruit vouchers too

and gems

[wispy goblet]

literally got this ten pull from lost sector tickets

[slow raft]

I meed to figure out how

Having to do stages with insane deficit inst exactly something ive done often

[wispy goblet]

okay do we waifu chase and put Bay on the wishlist, hunt for Alice dupes, or put Biscuit on for the PvP meta

[rapid bough]

i'm like 99% sure, even for the 2 team lost sectors, if you're in insane deficits you're doing it wrong

there are usually two paths: one for your 5-team which is normal, and one for your team of 2 or 3 which is for map mechanics and has some smaller and easier fights that shouldn't be outclassing you by a billion combat power

[wispy goblet]

shit maybe we hunt Sugar for the shotgun dream team

[rapid bough]

i don't think sugar is used in the shotgun dream team anymore

[runic ether]

yeah she is very very good

[slow raft]

well since i can only deply 6 nikkes i assume its more of a 4 team and a 2 team

[wispy goblet]

could be a 5 and 1 team

[rapid bough]

when you say "insane deficits" what are we talkin here

[wispy goblet]

depends on the layout

[slow raft]

the last time i did this was last year so i dont quite rember

[glossy latch]

I could tell, mine has mediocre relics and no skills past level 7 and she still cleared lmao

Man, I really wish Xueyi wasnt so bad though

Her animations are cool but she is so bad >.>

[rapid bough]

look up a guide or something, if you're encountering deficits that aren't possible to beat i guarantee you just have your squad mix wrong

[slow raft]

yeah im redoing it and it turns out i just had way to little compat power at the time

[rapid bough]

not surprised considering the first 2-team lost sector is fairly early on and i know you've gotten way farther in the story since then lol

[wispy goblet]

getting in my three campain victories with the loaners

just kidding I cannot progress in the campaign even with the loaners

but after that it's the wall

[glossy latch]

... how in the world do you get 20000 points on this deady assaults electric weak one

[runic ether]

yanagi

[rapid bough]

i did it pretty easily with my standard nicole/zhu/qingyi team

dead end butcher is the real bitch tbh, despite using miyabi that actually ended up being my lowest score lol

[glossy latch]

Wait why Yanagi?

[rapid bough]

it's electric weak and she does lots of damage to cripple the legs

[glossy latch]

I mean yeah, but I figured so would Harumasa

[rapid bough]

yanagi is the strongest electric DPS in the game so

for electric weak content, the answer is basically always her

[glossy latch]

Eh, gonna try Dead End Butcher for now with Miyabi/Yanagi

[rapid bough]

that's what i did

but i had an ether team for the corruption complex

harumasa can probably do it fine too tho

my three comps ended up being

butcher - miyabi/nagi/caesar
complex - nicole/zhu/qingyi
pompey - burnice/lucy/jane

pretty comfortably cleared 20k for all 3

and that's with a hella uninvested lucy on the pompey fight and still not being used to her rotations to keep her buff up since i don't use her often

[glossy latch]

Yeah I am nowhere near even getting 20k on Miyabi o.0

[rapid bough]

glad i have astra now for miyabi/nagi teams to free up caesar elsewhere

[rapid bough]

butcher was my lowest score, make sure to save a yanagi insta-disorder for whenever he turns purple otherwise you're doing way less damage

and use perfect dodges a lot for free points

[glossy latch]

Yeah I max out at like

15-16k

My Miyabi is not geared great yet though tbf

On Harumasa I dont even get to 14k >.>

... though I just realised I havent maxed out his skills quite yet

His dodge is only at level 10

[rapid bough]

i get to like 22k with definitely suboptimal play

honestly despite needing disorder, this fight is hella weird for a miyabi/nagi comp because ideally you want to be dodging all the time for the extra points

but there just aren't that many opportunities to dodge because miyabi/nagi comps do so much stunlocking of bosses lol

now that i have astra i wonder if i can do better with the "quick assists give huge ATK boosts" buff

time to try out just for funsies, even though i already 9 starred

[glossy latch]

Yeah I think my characters just arent good enough yet

[rapid bough]

holy FUCK

astra/miyabi/nagi does SO much better

this comp is honestly cracked

and is also super fucking fun

[rapid bough]

while i may like evelyn's design more, i still think astra's is great and now that i get to play with her in proper comps i absolutely LOVE what she does for gameplay

worth every pull of those ~140 or so

she's a crutch-tier support on the level of caesar but in a different way

i watch high level ZZZ gameplay and they're all doing this insane animation-maxxing and quick swapping through all of their characters constantly and i think "i will never be big brain enough to manage this"

but astra legitimately just makes you play like that by default

i didn't expect a character whose entire gameplay is "press special attack then forget she exists" would enable so much fun but hoyo cooked big time

in other news, here i go dumping all my doll upgrade materials on helm

using blue mats on purple dolls is like throwing them into a fire lmao

[rapid bough]

aaaaaaaaaaand they're gone

only got to level 11. sigh

[wispy goblet]

I've been specifically banking my orange and purple kits for the the purple dolls

I got an Abnomral T9 gear today
that was exciting

[rapid bough]

that is what you should be doing

i'm just making stupid decisions because i want helm's favorite item

[rapid bough]

sweet summer child

[wispy goblet]

it's okay
it'll be the right class gear for the upcoming collab units
trust

surely one of the meta ones will be an attacker

[rapid bough]

i'm sure they will be, but the struggle is that you'll eventually have more than you know what to do with because abnormal units you want to use are so much rarer than any other type

[wispy goblet]

look I'll take all the T9 gear I can get for now

my second bench units need their gear filled out

[old galleon]

as someone with no collab characters and no plans to roll on eva collab abnormal gear is currently the bane of my existence

[wispy goblet]

okay
my current grind focuses are maintenance kits and skill books

[slow raft]

Ive not been getting much abnormal gear recently

Ive also not been getting much other manufacturer gear lately tho so

[wispy goblet]

Stupid coincidence I just noticed seeing this again in another server
||Fire dragons? Does she know?||

[old galleon]

what chapter was this from?

[rapid bough]

that's at the end-ish of chapter 13

i had to go verify and i'm honestly impressed i remembered that at a glance

not many points in the main story where it could've happened though

it was ||after marian got recorrupted by chatterbox and SKK is recovering from his injuries, he wakes up to the counters all sleeping nearby in the commander's room||

[rapid bough]

also "another server"? now i gotta wonder what other servers you're in that are openly discussing nikke, are you cheating on us?!

[old galleon]

i mean i actively discuss fgo in another server too

who cares lol

[rapid bough]

Final team comp on clear (screenshotted from the start of the next fight, before I changed it up - because that was equally BS in a completely different way lmao; I just gave up and used leylines for it)

19-3, to be clear

[rapid bough]

it is. generally anything that modifies full burst time is bad, but reducing it is especially bad

a few nikkes also make it longer, like bunny soda

but making it longer isn't the worst thing ever because it just means you don't need to run a CDR nikke (so shotgun comp doesn't)

nothing to do when it's 5 sec shorter though, you're gonna be forced to wait for the cooldown on your next burst

[rapid bough]

yes, her name is pulchra

she won't be an S rank agent, she's A rank which means she'll just be a bonus unit on some banner that's much easier to pull

she also won't be out until next patch in about a month

usually they put the a rank on the 2nd phase banner

tho could be with anby if i read right she also has that gimmick with additional dmg stuff right

0.00011

two to the right yields .011% of that specific outcome in that specific ten roll

so we're talking a hundredth of a percent

since i had done four ten rolls to get that outcome, it improves, slightly

0.00681

two to the right yields .681% of getting three copies of cindy within 40 rolls

so about 7 tenths of a percent

Also wow this gif was more disturbing than I remembered

Honestly though don't be afraid to just chuck servants you don't use into the blender to get favourable class matchups

[summer hornet]

A list of the servants I've used so far (I didn't take screenshots of all the teams, so I forgot a few lol)

I've been using 3-man comps, and a couple of them didn't clear the bar so I had to dig further in the bag

The main thing is I'm running out of battery supports lol

[long tree]

Using three man comps isn't great mainly because ||ort|| is aoe

You're allowed as many trys as you have servants

[summer hornet]

a fair point; a couple teams (Illya, Kojirou, Hokusai in particular) had enough damage to have carved out a chunk of another bar

Might do a few solo runs in ||phase 2, especially since I've got the Underworld buff from Ereshkigal still||

[old galleon]

||most of phase 2 will still have the data lost mechanic, tho whichever servant(s) you finished phase 1 with are still usable||

||there'll be a point where the story makes it clear you can use your data lost servants again, but it's toward the end of the phase||

[long tree]

If I was able to do it with my limited roster I'm sure you'll be fine

[old galleon]

also i think you went way overkill on phase 1; a bunch of those could have probably cleanly soloed some bars just fine

enkidu especially, lmao

being a threat to humanity is right in his wheelhouse

[summer hornet]

Yeah Enkidu was another of the overkills

[old galleon]

bazett can def solo too

she in particular is probably the best servant currently released for this content

[summer hornet]

I was still trapped in NP battery mindset 😔

[old galleon]

i do recall one player uploading their one turn clears, tho many of those relied on facecard crits

soloing just feels more consistent to me

i also think it's theoretically possible for mash to break a bar on her own

[summer hornet]

[old galleon]

poster girl would be best but you can probably get away with some other high potency damage ce, run anni blonde, take a turn or two to set up her np, np, then next turn unload with her s1, anni blonde skills, and buster crit it for big damage

i didn't get the chance to try that out but it feels at least theoretically possible

i know on one bar she was able to do well over half of it

without that level of optimization

[summer hornet]

I've got Outrage, but not poster girl

I'll give it a try tho

[old galleon]

poster girl isn't for the taunt

it's for the bg level atk buff it has

[summer hornet]

Ohhh

...Well schist

to be clear if you're in phase 2 it's probably less doable; i was thinking of this more for phase 1

but you should still be fine

[summer hornet]

This is where I left off for now

[old galleon]

isn't that like the start of phase 2?

[summer hornet]

👍 ✨

[old galleon]

assuming your roster is fleshed out you should still be fine

hardest part of this is hoping all the background effects don't kill your device

[summer hornet]

Oh gosh

Got a Pixel 8 so I should be fine?

Hasn't been too bad so far

[old galleon]

if it's been fine so far then you shouldn't have any problems

How many eidolons does the new TB have rn?

[mystic python]

You can get all 6

[glossy latch]

Oh

If only you could use two Trailblazers at once

[glossy latch]

Actually could Fugue replace HMC?

[mystic python]

Ye Fugue's almost the same; less buffs and less personal break but her superbreak is permanently up, she's SP efficient and has a bit more damage from the exo toughness

[glossy latch]

I see

I'll have to see, it's just that RMC with Fu Xuan gets my the herta to 100%

And at that point I think I'm done building her

||Ah i see, thats why he tried to kill me instead of having a conversation, hes trying to eliminate everyone else who could be trying to help with that||

[long tree]

Man made human rights issue into his method of clout chasing

[rapid bough]

||in the context of later reveals about his character which you haven't gotten to yet, johan's initial reaction to the commander saying he wants to free all nikkes being to try and kill him has never made sense to me||

[slow raft]

||im guessing that he has some kind of misgivings with the central government or smth and thats why he has to kill everyone from the ark. that or he thinks wanting to use vapaus for sacing nikkes means the commander will violently oppose using it against heretics?||

[rapid bough]

||correct, he hates the ark, which is why his reaction being that way is weird to me. "i want to free nikkes" is the furthest thing from the ark's stance possible, so that response should signal to johan that the commander is different from your average central government pawn||

[slow raft]

||even if not, he has to have come from the ark himself, no? so he should know that not everyone from the ark is under the thumb of the central government unless hes some kind of egomaniac who thinks everyone else is worse than him||

[rapid bough]

||he is a bit of an egomaniac lol||

[slow raft]

||as of now hes essentially taken the villain spot from crow by being a far more efficient psychopath, but i assume hes supposed to eventually become some kind of mentor figure/a goal for the protag to work towards. im gonna treat him as an antagonist until he actually apologizes for trying to kill someone for essentially no reason. i dont count on that ever happening tho||

[rapid bough]

||really the only thing i can think of is that the goal of "saving all nikkes" makes johan worry about long-term competition for the vapaus supply, which he needs to kill heretics. he doesn't really care about the commander's goals so much as he cares about whether this will be the last time they run into each other on the hunt for vapaus||

[rapid bough]

i'm allowing myself to hope that i might be able to get evelyn despite astra bleeding me dry

there will be two monthly resets between now and evelyn's banner ending so that's 10 pulls from the monthly shops

something like ~1000 polys from the season pass + pulls

month+ of daily income is like 5000 polys

we still have one more login event for 10 more free pulls that'll run when evelyn banner starts

plus polys from shiyu/assault/standard weekly resets and that should be enough pulls to at least get to 50/50, but i'll need to win it

please hoyo have mercy

[old galleon]

i think parry did once upon a time; don't know if he still does

[old galleon]

do you not pull for rainbows or are you just that lucky

[slow raft]

||Ah i see, shes a gatekeep gaslight girlboss type of character||

you got that from one line? lol

[slow raft]

[long tree]

Yeeeeeeeeeees

[stray bramble]

Bro how

I have stacks of those things

Both regular and array

[rapid bough]

i mean i still have plenty lol

but the number is steadily going down now that i'm leveling a bunch of ships to 120

and some to 125 if i plan on using them for opsi bossing or w14+

[stray bramble]

I forgot when rentals expire it goes back to default skin

Fucking flashbanged by the regular bg

That being said. There's something still special in my heart about NJs default

Black Dragon in the fleet
Bad Dragon in the sheets

[old galleon]

or on the beach

[stray bramble]

Unfortunately that's exhibitionistm and is frowned upon in most societies

However based it may be

[old galleon]

i'm just the messenger for nj's swimsuit skin interactions, no more or less

the bunny dragon is into that, so take it as you will

[stray bramble]

Naruhodo

[old galleon]

wait do you not have that skin

[stray bramble]

I only have her oath skin

[old galleon]

ah

tbf her oath skin is also great

[stray bramble]

during her event my skin allowance went on Kinu

[rapid bough]

NJ's swimsuit skin is still peak even years later with all the strides they've made in their l2d skins

[old galleon]

it hasn't even been 2 years yet lol

[stray bramble]

Kinu my beloved

[rapid bough]

still basically forever in l2d skin time

though now they're really suffering in terms of inconsistency of l2d interaction quality

some skins have like 40 poses and interactions, others have like 5 lol

[stray bramble]

I think it depends on ship popularity and artist horniness

[rapid bough]

the second wave of LNY skins this patch were disappointing

[stray bramble]

Like FDGs

[rapid bough]

even fdg's skin is pretty low on actual interactions and she only really has one pose

the design carries that skin

[old galleon]

i mean it's kinda hard to compare anything to shinano swimsuit or kearsarge bunny

those are just loaded with shit

[stray bramble]

Uuuh

Adalbert

I think it was

[rapid bough]

bunny shinano is prolly the best skin they've released

[old galleon]

adalbert's isn't even l2d iirc, just really horny

[stray bramble]

I think it was L2D

The bathroom one

[old galleon]

i know which one you mean

[rapid bough]

nope that one is dynamic

[stray bramble]

I just checked in game it says L2D unless that's their blanket tag for it

[rapid bough]

hmm guess i'm misremembering

it's def not their blanket tag

[stray bramble]

She's a Dishwasher ship

Ofc she has a L2D

[rapid bough]

dynamics get "anim"

[old galleon]

not all dish ships get l2d

[stray bramble]

Only problem is Heinrich was the more popular sister

[rapid bough]

anyway best dynamic skin is belfast's

[stray bramble]

Like Bremerton and Baltimore

[old galleon]

just double checked wiki, adalbert's is l2d tho

[stray bramble]

Bremerton hit the fanbase like fucking crack

Poor Cooper got absolutely nothing fanart wise

[old galleon]

then pittsburgh dropped and, while she didn't supplant bremerton, she also got reasonably popular

[stray bramble]

My poor daughtership snubbed by the fanbase

The only ship I think surpassed Bremerton in universal popularity was NJ

[old galleon]

nah

shinano for sure

[rapid bough]

every time i play lobby roulette, the skins that hit me different are bunny shinano, swimsuit alsace, and bikini belfast

[stray bramble]

Like no other ship has had an explosion like either of those did

[rapid bough]

swimsuit NJ is way up there too

[stray bramble]

My current random just came up and it is Bremerton

Bremerton, Tashkent, Kiev and Belorussiya

I SERVE THE NORTHERN PARLIAMENT

[long tree]

Oh shit azur lane talk I gotta keep talking like I haven't dropped it

[old galleon]

what was your reaction when soyuz dropped

[long tree]

...boobs

[stray bramble]

I need a different Tashkent skin released tbh

[rapid bough]

breasts, if you will

[stray bramble]

The same as when any NP event dropped

[old galleon]

so soyuz finally escaping npc hell didn't elicit any special response

[stray bramble]

My playlist was just Katyusha, Soviet March and Moskau

I serve the Northern Parliament

I love my commie mommies

[rapid bough]

i've been struggling with whether to buy the brest and chien wu skins this patch

both seem light on the interactions but their designs are so good

[stray bramble]

Also

[old galleon]

brest skin is fantastic looking

[stray bramble]

God Bless Nagu

[rapid bough]

and brest has one great interaction that makes it worth

[stray bramble]

For cooking such a perfect comrade wife as Kirov

[old galleon]

not as big on chien wu's esp since she's supposed to be the flagship dual form skin

just doesn't hit right for me

[rapid bough]

the dynamic portion of her skin is legitimately the better one lol

the l2d has meh interactions and is for feet enthusiasts, which i am not

[stray bramble]

I need to oath more ships tbh

I don't have enough wives

[rapid bough]

i did a round of oaths recently

wifed up helena, azuma, and harbin

[stray bramble]

I have like. 2 rings spare

[rapid bough]

harbin's oath skin is very good

i don't like azuma's base skin so i had to oath her to get a better one lol

[stray bramble]

I think my last oath

Was biscuit 2

[rapid bough]

azuma's eyes look way too strangely large in her base

[old galleon]

so uh

are there any other brief encounters like that one with the bunnies

just got that one from the weekly reset

[rapid bough]

"that one" being the one in the commander's room lol

i assume, anyway

[old galleon]

yes, you know which one

[stray bramble]

Wait what

[rapid bough]

nikke

[stray bramble]

Oh

Different boobs

[rapid bough]

anyway, if there are, i don't remember

some bond stories get similarly overt though

[old galleon]

i mean that one was as blatant as it gets

[slow raft]

hsr wants me to gacha for gacha currency

[old galleon]

it heard you like gacha

[slow raft]

100 jade or
a 90% chance for 50 jade
a 10% cghance for 600 jade
and 2 people get 500000 jade

its honestly tempting since its only a loss of 50 jade

[wispy goblet]

The EV is 105 jade

[slow raft]

i fogot to do them again this week lmao

[old galleon]

oh while i have some purples in here, is someone spamming or something in rulings and then deleting it? i keep getting notified for that channel but then nothing new's there

[slow raft]

a user is trying to post a webp

they only did that once tho, seemingly

[old galleon]

hm ok

[slow raft]

there was also a scam earlier, they mightve posted it in rulings

[old galleon]

also plausible

[rapid bough]

believe it or not there is more blatant lol

leona and summer mary's bond stories come to mind

base rosanna's too

(because ofc it's not rosanna without being blatant)

[old galleon]

i'm aware of rosanna bond 5 and sakura summer event at least

[rapid bough]

people seem convinced that SKK and sakura went at it in the summer event and i actually disagree

the situation was set up that way but the surrounding dialogue makes it unlikely imo

[old galleon]

i just know people talk about that one a good amount

[rapid bough]

at the very least it leaves more room for doubt than leona/s.mary/rosanna's

[old galleon]

well i don't have either of the former 2 and one of them is a seasonal at that

so i'll have to wait

[rapid bough]

oh yulha's is pretty blatant too

underrated and forgotten one

[old galleon]

maybe it's just bc i got past 160 really quickly but this push to 200 feels really slow to me

and it's battle data that's the main culprit

[rapid bough]

yup

core dust shortage from 1-160
battle data from 160-200-ish
core dust from like 200-300

then it's both battle data and core dust

[old galleon]

core data
don't think i didn't catch that azur lane freudian slip : ^)

[rapid bough]

slightly better than when i called harmony cubes "wisdom cubes" lol

[slow raft]

After only 64 rolls i finally got a 6 star on the event banner

Luckily its the one i care more about (sorry namie, maybe ill pull for your daughter another time)

[long tree]

Iirc she's the better of the two?

[slow raft]

I wouldnt know

[old galleon]

made it to chapter 24 but one of the subquests in 23 is a hard wall for me

really stupid defense map with a dumb assortment of enemies that i can't do right now

[rapid bough]

how you feelin about this story arc so far

i remember i started c22 late one night and it was a bad decision since i kept going til i was done the whole arc lol, was up to some ungodly hour of the morning

[old galleon]

so far everyone's an idiot with the possible exceptions of ingrid and mustang

like everything i'm reading is just stupid as fuck

but crow gets to have plot armor bc the plot demands she makes it to the end

[rapid bough]

you know i've heard people say that arc is an idiot plot and i've never really followed why

[old galleon]

oh and i guess underworld queen is reasonably competent too

although their big brain "let's harass the bunnies" plot at the start was silly in its own right

[rapid bough]

crow plot armor is obvious and granted but i can't remember thinking "why is everyone so stupid" in that arc

aside from the decisions surrounding crow's plot armor i thought everyone acted basically as you'd expect them to

if anything the stupidest character around is the commander, but (1) that's nothing new and (2) that's due to reasons before the arc takes place since arguably the entire arc is due to him being a moron beforehand

[old galleon]

yuni and mihara are being stupid, commander is (to this point) also being stupid, maiden and guillotine made colossal mistakes in their execution of their attack that if they were more competent could have resolved things much faster

if there's any upside so far, it's that i'm sure that doban dumbass will get what's coming

[rapid bough]

yuni is literally insane, mihara is still basically a blank canvas post-mindwipe and promised yuni she'd help, how could maiden/guillotine ||know that exotic had a counter to maiden's kotodama||

i also don't think that commander is very stupid during the arc, i think his stupidity is entirely concentrated before the arc (i.e., not telling anyone about exotic nearly killing him)

[old galleon]

||it's not about knowing there would be a counter, but anticipating the possibility of such and preventing it from being used, which i'm sure guillotine could have handled had she used her eye sooner; given these are some of the ark's professional hitmen, surely they would plan for this||

||i'm also not completely convinced yuni is insane and not in charge of her mental faculties; she certainly seems to me to be aware of what she's doing and what it will lead to, while mihara, despite being a "blank slate", has to know that especially after the shelter thing, yuni is going too far||

||commander at the point i'm at still seems to be open to the prospect of punishing exotic in a way that isn't necessarily fitting of their crimes; i will give him that the smoke grenade stunt wasn't bad||

||also syuen since i didn't mention her earlier, she's still way too concerned with keeping up appearances despite the situation having already gone to hell||

||probably the dumbest motherfucker of them all||

[wispy goblet]

I wouldn't describe Yuni as ||"insane," but she is emotionally distraught, the target of Crow's egging on, and lashing out at a world she feels has wronged her.||

I'd call her ||emotionally compromised, which you could say is "stupid," but that feels a little uncharitable.||

[old galleon]

||i think she's stupid bc if her end goal is revenge against syuen, there are other ways of doing it aside from willingly letting crow play her and get a ton of humans killed in the process; she chose the way that would absolutely ensure the worst case for her||

[rapid bough]

||i think expecting them to anticipate that the random terrorist nikke group has a counter to their top-secret abilities for the first time ever is a bit much. maiden stopped exotic immediately upon entry, they had a counter, and then viper/crow ran before basically anyone knew what happened (also at that point iirc the commander was still present, not sure guillotine is allowed to show her power with him still there. also, this is working in a bit of postscript, but the guillotine winter event really tried to hammer the point home that guillotine using her eye is bad and a last resort, iirc it places her more at risk of a mind switch||

||re: yuni, ok i didn't mean she was insane in that she's out of touch with reality, what i mean is she's being driven by grief and an all-consuming desire to get revenge on syuen, no matter what it costs. her actions are in-line with that goal, i don't think she's being stupid, just extremely selfish||

||and tbh i don't think the commander acts stupid in many parts of the arc. he's an optimist to a fault but that doesn't really get in the way of him doing what needs to be done; he removes the counter's inhibitors to take exotic into custody (it goes bad), he signals extrinsic to make his escape (it goes bad), and what comes next you haven't seen, and all in the middle of a rapture invasion and an unhinged deputy chief trying to burn the outer rim to the ground||

[wispy goblet]

||In my view, the emotionally compromised are generally not known for their forward thinking and grasp of consequences of their actions, but I do see your point.||

||Syuen being a egotistical shortsighted fool is par the course for her.||

rampant speculation based on recent story beats
||It will be disproportionately funny when Shift Up runs the Syuen tragic backstory card to make her sympathetic.||

[rapid bough]

||post-c24 they're already well on the road to doing that tbh. they might succeed at making her sympathetic but that doesn't mean she will be forgiven||

||you can give context to a character's actions and even make them sympathetic without giving them a redemption arc||

||this is where i really struggle with viper and am very interested in (dreading) her first post-c24 story installment (it'll likely be a side story)|||

||they're clearly setting viper up for a redemption arc but some of the shit she does/is party to is legitimately unforgivably awful, well beyond even syuen's worst exploits||

[wispy goblet]

||commander is a Jesus allegory, it all fits||

[rapid bough]

most of the nikke fandom when viper

[long tree]

||red shoes||

[wispy goblet]

immense self report

[wispy goblet]

hey
she's sexy and repentant (maybe)
huge difference

[slow raft]

Til the elemental recruitment tag is exclusively for her

[long tree]

I haven't really thought about her tbh, I just know that her boobs are twice the size of her head and that usually that means simps

[rapid bough]

nah nikke fans were all over viper even before the point of no return that was c22-24

and she had almost no redeeming qualities before then besides being hot and flirty with SKK lol

she's meant to be the femme fatale of the cast

surprise, the character named viper acts like a bit of a snake

like, crow is hot too, but she doesn't play into the harem so she's just irredeemably awful

ofc i don't think viper is as bad as crow, but she was complicit in basically everything crow did, sooooo

[rapid bough]

i saved those up specifically for that reason lol

i'm done liberations now though so now i just save them to do the "do 20 pulls" weekly

Btw, is there a way to do the "wipe out twice" mission without spending gems?

[rapid bough]

nope

[old galleon]

no

[slow raft]

[old galleon]

i just skip it when that happens

[slow raft]

Yea same

[wispy goblet]

At least buy two things from the common shop you can do for free once you progress enough

[rapid bough]

i didn't skip it because i didn't want to throw off the planned 60 points/day rate

but i should've skipped it

probably cost me like a thousand gems over the course of all the liberations

[wispy goblet]

hey that's only four pulls

[rapid bough]

that's 3-4 pulls i could've had otherwise, i will never financially recover from this

i'm also not pure F2P tbf

easier for me to throw gems at stuff

[slow raft]

||Insane feats, but ig you can be smart scientifically and still be emotionally dumb||

[slow raft]

||That seems like a massive waste of time for anyone whos not a frontliner but whatever, sure. I wasnt exactly expexting you to be normal anyways||

[old galleon]

||the path of the doro is one that cannot be considered "normal"||

[rapid bough]

||i mean, they live up on the surface, idt it's that unreasonable to expect anyone there to be able to pull their own weight given they're on the ragged edge of imminent death at any given moment||

[old galleon]

||one might even say it leads to developing unnatural powers||

[wispy goblet]

||there are no civilians in Eden, for better or worse||

[slow raft]

||Im under the impression that they have a camouflage shield made by a super genuis that means they dont actually have to fight raptures. Might be wrong tho||

[wispy goblet]

||actually, I feel like it's implied like there are other people in Eden, but then I saw somewhere that the only humans are Johan and Cecil?||

[rapid bough]

||they do, but gotta be prepared for it to fail or for raptures to breach the perimeter by chance, or even when things are quiet, to scavenge for materials necessary to keep things running||

[slow raft]

||Yeah but is it really worth to have your scientists for example train up enough to match a nikke, when they could spend their time doing research?||

[rapid bough]

||i don't think that's what she's implying. scientists like cecil can command power/influence and pull their own weight without becoming excellent fighters||

[slow raft]

||well if thats not what shes implying i dont really get what shes try to say except "fuck welfare, theres no place in my paradise for that"||

[rapid bough]

||that seems be exactly what she's saying lol||

[wispy goblet]

||that is exactly what she's going for||
||remember her whole "the few will not exploit the many" shtick||

[slow raft]

oh so its worse than i though

||Honestly, everyone from eden introduced so far is either an asshole, a dumbass, a psycho, or some combination of the above||

[wispy goblet]

||or is it "the many will not exploint the few"||

I forgor lol

I think it's the second

[old galleon]

||this rapi slander will not stand||

[slow raft]

wait, is that not the name of the place

[rapid bough]

||it's eden, not elysium. elysium is what alice is looking for (and she thinks it refers to the ark, so you're not wrong there either )||

[slow raft]

right

[wispy goblet]

also do not confuse it with Elysion
the manufacturing company

[slow raft]

||except maybe isabel, but thats becuase shes had one line so far||

[wispy goblet]

something something do NOT tell guy

[rapid bough]

anyway imo ||eden is meant to be that way. they're a bunch of hardasses because living on the surface sucks ass and breeds hardasses||

[rapid bough]

||nope, psycho||

[rapid bough]

you think that wedding skin was because commander's relationship with her is wholesome and reciprocated?

[slow raft]

you think i look up skins for this game?

[rapid bough]

i figured you'd maybe remember because i once posted the skin here and you instantly nuked it lol

and i only posted it because i had seen a thumbnail of it and didn't realize how raunchy it was at full size

[slow raft]

for you it was a memorable day where i deleted your post
for me it was tuesday

[rapid bough]

(bought that skin with 0 regrets, hope she gets a favorite item)

(alternatively, PLEASE SHIFT UP GIVE US MORE THAN 5 LOBBY SLOTS)

[wispy goblet]

The lobby screen is training you for the eventual marriage mechanic

[rapid bough]

the fact isabel got a wedding skin before any oath mechanic was implemented has basically killed my hopes for anything like that ever being implemented

do you think it's worth spending gems for additional event tokens to farm more core dust cases and the extra shop mats

yes, i always drop the gems on extra attempts to burn them on repeating hard stage 11

it's a shitton of core dust and helps clear the shop

in a month the outpost will have brought in enough resources to get my top five nikkes to 180

[glossy latch]

Also wtf is 7

I vaguely recognise the others but that one stumps me

[long tree]

Noble with human appraisal skill

[glossy latch]

... unironically doesnt narrow it down much lmao

I guess its slop I didnt watch

[long tree]

It's unironically quite nice

[glossy latch]

Ah, the rare good slop

[long tree]

MC sucks so he has to recruit other people to manage the things he can't

[old galleon]

man they're doing this shit again?

[long tree]

If you're wondering why I don't like number 6, the entire manga is based around the MC being so cute that he gets whatever he wants...

It's super creepy

[old galleon]

i'm pretty well versed in isekai but i dont' even recognize most of these lol

[rapid bough]

i recognize 1-4 and 6+7

[glossy latch]

4 is just straight up not an Isekai

[rapid bough]

i've only watched 3 though

[long tree]

Mushoku
Slime
Sao
Shangri-la
Campfire cooking
Cringe
Nobleman appraisal
Isekai ojisan
Reincarnated as sword

[rapid bough]

Cringe
lol

[glossy latch]

Honestly Shangri-La Frontier is worth watching

Fun show

[old galleon]

i recognize 1-3 and coudl tell you thef ourth is shangri-la bc i can read kana

wouldn't have been able to tell you the rest

[long tree]

Most of these are just like

Fine

[old galleon]

which one is cringe

[glossy latch]

Granted Sunraku as a summonable unit is wack lmao

His whole deal is that his avatar is ugly because he min-maxed his stats

[long tree]

Number 6

[rapid bough]

reincarnated as an 8th prince or w/e its name is

[old galleon]

no i mean what's the name

[long tree]

I think that's something else

[old galleon]

kanji in th ename looks like the one for seven, not eight

[rapid bough]

i forget the number lol

[long tree]

I don't remember the name and in not looking it up

[rapid bough]

it's definitely "reincarnated as Xth prince"

[glossy latch]

Oh god its seven deadly sins

[rapid bough]

no it's def not

[old galleon]

seven deadly sins isn't an isekai and tha tcharacter isn't one i know from it lol

[glossy latch]

I know, twas a joke

[long tree]

Campfire cooking is probably the best one there

[glossy latch]

... wait SDS isnt an isekai?

[long tree]

Ehhhh

Ehhhhhhhhhhh kinda it is but you only find out about it in season I think 2?

[glossy latch]

Ah

[long tree]

Meliodas is from another dimension

[glossy latch]

Also again, vouching for SLF

It's not mindblowing, but its fun and the action is pretty well choreographed

Also rare show about a VRMMO where you can tell the writer actually has played an MMO before

[slow raft]

No shot they included number 6

[old galleon]

guy what's the title?

[long tree]

It's japan

[rapid bough]

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability

[slow raft]

What he said

[long tree]

Back me up on this guy it's cringe ain't it

[old galleon]

oh boy another one of those

[rapid bough]

i haven't watched it but saw some highlights when it aired and its animation goes way harder than it has any right to

unfortunately the artist is far too invested in sexualizing the MC, a young boy

[old galleon]

bc what is a modern isekai without sexualization : ^)

[rapid bough]

well it's not sexualization that bothers anyone, least of all me (need i list the gacha i play, again)

it's the character they choose to give tons of fanservice

specifically, a young boy

[old galleon]

so it's appealing to the shotacons

[rapid bough]

correct

[slow raft]

yeah they hit you with the pedo shit chapter 1

[old galleon]

can't say i'm too surprised

also can't say i'm too surprised the filter lets me say shota

[long tree]

I was like "huh that's kinda really weird, hopefully that doesn't continue to be the case"

[rapid bough]

it's also fanservicey with all the other characters, most of whom are adult women, which of course i'm fine with (bonk me if you must)

but "bunch of adult women fawning over young boy who is also sexualized" is bad vibes

[slow raft]

It is catching it tbf

[old galleon]

i think it outright prevents one from saying the other one without timing you out

[long tree]

Anyway to move on from this topic, I don't think the game is lasting a year

[old galleon]

tho tbf shota has been used as a name in certain series before

[old galleon]

pretty sure most of the isekai collab types die fast

so yeah

how'd that one do? crossing void or whatever it was called?

[long tree]

I think I remember playing crossing void

It was so ass bruh

[old galleon]

can't say i'm surprised

[wispy goblet]

this game really making me learn how to play Alice

[rapid bough]

apologies in advance to your mouse

and hand

[wispy goblet]

it's not so bad
little girl is carrying my ass even with my suboptimal play

still
I'm surprised every time I make it through another stage

woman said let's visit poland spring

[rapid bough]

astra's walk-up animation has me like

wish more areas of the game used agent walk-up animations

it's basically only notorious hunt nowadays

Finally got a good The Herta piece

All but 1 roll into cr and cd

to be fair i don’t think thats the first time genshin recieved the same accusations

[glossy latch]

Finally got 14k on the electric one

Just had to bolster Hasamuras damage

[rapid bough]

only 14k?

[glossy latch]

Bro I have an Anby as my stunner

[rapid bough]

simply use her as your main DPS like that one video i saw where a dude got 20k using anby as primary DPS

[glossy latch]

... wtf

5/6 stars is good enough for me tbh

[rapid bough]

i'd be in shambles from not getting all the possible poly rewards

[glossy latch]

50 Poly is not gonna matter tbh

Plus the patch after Im not gonna pull

Rn Im aiming to get Evelynn then save enough for Team Mockingbird

Vivian because Ether anomaly would really help my account out, Hugo because damn his animations are cool

[wispy goblet]

another manufacturer T9 gear

Elysion supporter
don't use Elysion supporters often

[glossy latch]

Its funny that the user of the most impractical weapon is the one who looks like he is putting in the least effort while fighting tbh

[runic ether]

its called aura

but yeah hugo has so much fucking aura with his attack anims

i hope he has a unique element combo

[wispy goblet]

did a recreational 10 pull for mana
(I was not rewarded)

[glossy latch]

I don't think he can be

Only unique combinations left are stunner defense and support, and I'd be shocked if he was any of those

I guess technically we don't have an ice anomaly user but that's a niche that's redundant now

[wispy goblet]

hmm

might pull for Maid Mast for the waifu factor

but then I gotta also pull for anchor
and I'm not really hurting for support duos

that said I do need more B2s

[rapid bough]

lmao 1.1b from cindy alone

[wispy goblet]

went the distance with two out of three of my union raid teams today
that felt good

i finished all the mach 25 achievements and thought "that wasn't so bad"

then i looked at all the others... maybe i won't be getting all these arcade polys

some of the achievements on these other games are brutal

400 polys from the event is nice though

[runic ether]

theres 100% arcade mains

ppl who only log on to play arcade rn

Finally

Last good piece I needed for The Herta

81/120 before boosts

So 100% CR with Fu Xuan

[old galleon]

https://i.imgur.com/3vaZ0vk.jpeg

this deed is finally done, i guess

possibly the worst non-gacha sa tho; still have to test

his sa skill has an okay damage multiplier but it's only one hit and the number is still only a little over half of aldo's before elemental multiplier

(after elemental multiplier it's a little closer, but still)

honestly would much rather use his 3 hit nuke in the current state of the game

[old galleon]

okay, killed the white tiger, making 2 of the 4 beasts done

took a couple tries to figure out but wasn't too bad

https://i.imgur.com/0EURz0u.jpeg

this one was the slash beast so i brought a slash team accordingly (and gave feinne the heat cutter badge so she had a slash skill of her own)

blessed vepley

except when she shows up and denies my daiyan v5

[summer hornet]

Even with Clairvoyance there was so much I was unaware of from LB7, and it made the story so much better to experience it in real time

||Kuku being TYPE-ORT, Tezca stealing our command seals and having multiple forms (black and blue) in the Lostbelt, the existence of SEVEN Foreign God Apostles (also which was Muramasa then??? I know the Count is Dantes), the origin of everything being CHALDEAS- the spherical model of the world??? Absolutely insane||

[rigid pilot]

Hold

||Dantes is not the Count they mean here. The Atlas Killer is Muramasa.||

First three are ||Crypter Guides: Rasputin, Muramasa, Douman||

Four to six are ||Chaldea Guides: Holmes, Moriarty, Cagliostro||

And the last ||is the leader of the Apostles, U-Olga Marie||

We ||have not met Cagliostro much at all in NA. He briefly is mentioned in Heian Kyo and a few other spots but he is very absent for a reason||

[copper steppe]

||there was a lot of lore bombs dropped in lb7, especially the foreign god identity and marisbury plan||

[summer hornet]

||yeah that was Big||

||also Nitocris having an entire extra character arc inbetween everything was crazy, playing off Camazotz and Tlaloc REALLY well||

||and they completely spoiled it ahead of time lol||

thanks game

[old galleon]

the interception experience

i'm about to do my indivilia runs hunting for chest pieces and gonna get nothing useful again as always

yep, nothing useful

so to summarize it's been 3 weeks since i unlocked anomaly interception

i've been doing 3x indivilia runs every day gunning for an elysion attacker chest for rapi

which amounts to somewhere around 60 runs

and no dice so far

[glossy latch]

Hm

Im actually thinking about getting Grace for Jane Doe

[rapid bough]

yep sounds about right

that's about how long it took me to get boots for rapi

and that included several attempts during full burst day where rewards were doubled

and actually it occurs to me that i never actually got her boots from anomaly intercept, i got them from the arms furnace lol

[rapid bough]

What the fuck

[rapid bough]

idk why they didn't do dushevnaya after suomi/ullrid tbh

[timber sigil]

I was so expecting Centaureissi next

[rapid bough]

that would've made the most sense given how daiyan event ends

[old galleon]

mast has been out for 50 minutes and already got some people malding about her

[rapid bough]

how so

[old galleon]

the expected complaints about her kit, mainly

anyway i threw a couple yolos her way and ended up getting milk dupe and cocoa but no mast

but i do have 200 mileage again so

i think i'd like to get the two so i have another duo i can run, and one for elysion tower in particular

but it's not a big deal either way

i got mileage for half anni nikke at least

[wispy goblet]

I'm gonna waifu pull for her
wish me luck
