||We know it starts with A, apparently||
||her having wings and training the proxies in chapter 2 really gives massive sus vibes over vivian's vision at the end of 1.6||
||i doubt they have the balls to kill a protag but it'd be super interesting if they actually did||
i only got her for 1 secret thing myself
shes gonna be unleveled in my account while i roll for anaxa
but if u dont have her best teammates, she really will not feel well
also she really will want s5 of the bp rememberance lc or bailu's lc
... the funny thing is I do have bailus LC
Is anaxa the twink?
yeah but did you grab tribbie?
if no, her best teams will be super cope
if you have tribbie, and dont need her for say, the herta
then go for it
if not, shes not worth it
she requires way more investment than is reasonable for an account that wouldnt be pulling/cant pull tribbie
and/or hyacine also
is what its looking to be like
I dont have Tribbie no
you'll be looking at pela/rmc/gallagher for her best team
and thats very cope
not bc pela is bad but rather that this team is frail as hell even if you have a hyperspeed gallagher
Arknights fan animation
#arknights #animation
Also ngl, finding it harder to actually log in for dailies on Genshin
once you have your account relatively built and dont find too many more new characters to pull, yeah
ig the one thing is escoffier is going to be great for wrio but
eh
skirk ending up a cryo dps is so disappointing too
its killed all my desire to grab her lol
I blame my previous job for killing Genshin for me
Was super busy so it got really hard to find energy to go into Genshin so I had to put it on the backburner
And by the time I got a new job with more free time I couldn't find it in me to go back in
For now anyways
natlan has been kind of a flop region overall
lovely world design + exploration but the story left a lot to be desired
I actually haven't touched Natlan at all yet
Fontaine would've been hard to top for sure tho
its crazy to me that this latest event quest was the most characterization we got out of the entire cast 
Even without having seen Natlan
yeah the bar was high but this was like a total whiff
Next is a big one tho isn't it
Snezhnaya

I'll find it in me to come back at some point
I still have my guarantee sitting there
they have done cryptic ass web events entirely hyping the region
For whenever I want
apparently the tsaritsa called all harbingers to nod-krai
I just dont like the direction unit design has been going in
Even ZZZ at least has interesting designs sometimes, even if a lot are aimed at a very particular demographic, I cant say that for Genshin right now
Fontaine was a lot better in that regard
yeah for sure
genshin design def is weaker
at least for natlan
its not consistent
i have both luocha and ruan mei what eidolon should i get
Easy Ruan Mei tbh
yeah thought so
rm e1 is great. but it can be an easy skip since they are adding more to that
so
can wait
its a viable option
nop
it is exactly the same as the whale material ppl get after getting e6 with a character and getting a 7th copy
oh thats nice
i voted behemoth for that one, but i think there's a campaign by modernia fans to vote her rapture form
so we'll see how that goes
modernia rapture is hard carried by chatterbox, i fear
Felt amazing get Fugue and her LC in 100 tickets than I see Misty's luck and I feel humbled
some people are simply luckier than others 
tho i can complain rtn sinc emy saber siege rolls were pretty good
@late canopy it's finally happening

Second video on their channel
JP is gonna be 5 years old by the time EN comes out
god i need to throw together teams for the solo raid final stage
if you're better at the game than me and have all the characters, maids anchor/mast and sbs/alice can compose four of five on one of the teams
then pick a b1
no i mean the final final one
Fgo: 2 year delay
Horse: hold my saddle
TW is already on a 1.5 year delay and that already feels kind of long
3rd anni in two months for TW honse server btw
the challenge stage?

Almost time for our game intro video to change to this
yea
then yeah, the above still works
the maids are water so they cover any part that has immunity to non-water
ok so im running out of nikkes. so far the teams ive got are:
team 1: dkw, grave, qeq, winter ludmilla, mana
team 2: volume, maid mast, maid achor, sbs, alice
team 3: rouge, blanc, cindy, phantom, privaty
team 4: liter, naga, tia, red hood
team 5: rrh, mari, asuka wille, rei tenative name
additional additions to the last two team sim considering: ein, biscuit, dolla, elegg
i think ill try out ein to team 4 and biscuit to team 5
Yeah as it turns out using nikkes without leveled skills is detrimental to their performance
layers to the grind
tangible proof of the Saber upgrade
Unrelated
RADIANT KNIGHT RAAAAAAAAH
Glasses are very versatile
was gonna ask how you're higher percentage despite lower score and then i remembered you're in europe
saw an announcement for a helm and an isabel figure, poor khaios
i dont think ill improve my percentage by 1.31 and i dont think itd even be worth it for the 100 gems so i think ill leave it as is
i don't buy figures, i'm safe
oh i did lol
that was an instabuy
it's peak
still coping for her getting a favorite item
there are a few units im also coping on gettin gone so i understand
tho realistically maiden likely wont get one in the near future lmao
its uncanny how agonizingly slow star rail feels when not sped up
this is decent
ofc the question becomes why would i do this when i can use sesta instead
but spice is the variety of life
this is better
changing up which skill aldo spams did that much (also did 2 stellar bursts instead of 1)
okay i'm good with this
can't wait for the per hit cap increase to see how much further i can take these comps
(also this works even out of p nagsham training dummy since aldo has full af passive in this comp)
from there it's a matter of surviving whatever comes next
(which shigure makes a lot easier)
anyway, even though shigure did a big chunk of the damage here, aldo was consistently capping too
this i suspect is bc shigure was given bearers this time (since he shares a weapon type with senya, the unit i was actually trying)
but senya was also capping toward the end
this sort of comp is absolutely monstrous, to the point i'm certain next story update will have enemies with complete elemental immunity to deal with it
as long as they resist or are weak to weapon attacks, then attacks will hit them as usual, but necoco es, sesta as, they set elemental based expose (making enemies weak to a given element, but it won't work through elemental immunity)
like, senya as is still missing his stellar awakening, so he's not even at full power yet
senya ns probably helps clear this number bc he does have it (so can do shit in stellar burst)
but i just got a funny idea
yeah that worked
okay so with senya ns it technically cleared
but at these numbers, 4b should be well within the margin of error
i'd fully expect as to be a bit overall stronger when he gets stellar awakening
just, we don't know when that'll be yet
plugged in aldo in the myunfa comp and that's what i got
still very good ofc, but aldo only having 2 hits on his spam skill is a limitation
comparatively, senya ns has 4 and senya as has 3
the other factor, ofc, is that in this run, shigure didn't have a bearer, which could have affected the total
so i'll replace wryz with nikeh and see how that affects the total
yeah i'm thinking that's a significant difference
PreemptivePower, Intelligence and Speed of all party members +100% and Apply Mp physical127 el up.png Singular Focus and Status Mental Focus.png Mental Focus on all party members (1 turn)
Grant Skill Attacks.png Skill Hit Count +1 to all party members with [Sword] personality (1 turn)
Adds +1 hit to any skill (EX: 1 hit skill > 2 hits, 2 hit skill > 3 hits, etc)
Added hit is same base modifier as 1 hit from original skill
Luring Shadow Characters only: Buff Duration x5 (5 turns)
i even had a third stellar burst ready but for some reason the game wouldn't let me use it
but yeah turns out adding an extra hit to sword users is (always has been) incredibly broken
love seeing people be enthuisastic about the dub voices
https://vxtwitter.com/manfredkmc/status/1909820364953448737
still remember when i saw people complain about the accents
didn't they add italian va for the siracusano ops?
always liked that kind of touch they did with their casting
yeah and german for the leithanian and im p sure bagpipe is scottish etc
Oh yeah, typhon is fantastic
I think people were also very happy with capers va? I do not use that operator so i cant judge
yeah caper is goated
Robella is an ice smg
Look at her
Relaxed. Happy. Dorking it up in her room alone with her megaphone. This is what peak happiness looks like https://t.co/zT3wGRyd8R
if violet had a more modern kit she'd be absolutely brutal
as it is, despite her aged kit, this is still impressive
i just wish they showed you how much damage each character does so i can better gauge the dps being done by shigure (who's mainly there to help extend af, but also does a shitload of damage due to the build) and whoever i'm actually testing
probably putting that as feedback whenever they drop the survey
this isn't bad for deirdre being chained to her manifest weapon, but definitely should get upgraded at some point
from what i saw of her numbers, she never even approached the per hit damage cap
i may have to reevaluate velvet
don't get me wrong, she's still greatly outdated, but at least in this setup, she's far outperforming characters like guildna and alphen, who are more modern, simply bc her spam skill has a ton of hits
and, importantly, she has decent damage on all those hits
(with guildna, i think i hit like 170 or so billion, alphen hovered around 200b)
again, it's shigure doing the bulk of the damage here, but being able to extend an af out of zone is a good quality
(while also doing reasonable damage)
i just did a meme test with a 3* attacker to try to prove a point
which is that these other runs aren't just shigure doing everything
whereas this one more or less was
poor naylia only peaked at around 69m per hit
i had forgotten how cracked speed scaling attacks are
and this one is where i totally flubbed my opening
gonna try to get one where i do it right
somehow my second run did worse lol
ugh, two difficult decisions to make in the hours before daily reset
- do i try to clear AL banner with my ~200 cubes
- do i pull for at least v3 klukai and possibly her weapon before the banner flips to mechty
i'm leaning no for both but it hurts
i think i need to save my cubes in AL for a while and just roll on UR events
really can't be overstated how much the two consecutive UR events took out of my savings by making me basically go to pity both times
so about equal to the first run on teh third attempt
rip
if i do skip this banner in AL, it will be the first i'll have skipped since starting the game
but times are tough
well i just opened gfl2 and klukai banner apparently is already gone
so lmao i guess that decision got made for me
prolly for the best
v3 + weapon is an insane investment of pulls, even with the ~250 i have saved i'm not confident i'd get there since i could lose a few 50/50s
guess we're just going for mechty then saving for vector v1 + weapon on the horizon
then saving after that for springfield v1 + weapon and klukai rerun
indeed

brown dust 2 devs have a profound appreciation for ass, even above nikke and ZZZ tbh
can't help but respect it
they are literally me
well i did 17 more pulls for the lulz since that's the amount of quick finishers i needed to use to finish one of the cruise pass missions
i ended up getting miller and that's it
definitely not doing more than that
at 181 cubes entering a dead week
grumble
finally get home and nikke is under maintenance
changed it up a little today
but think about what's coming
but if it doesn't come back soon I'll miss my daily rotation
i see a gyaru, a phantom thief, a chuuni, a merchant, and a doggo
gonna have to sleep soon
maintenance is slated to end in about 3 hours
it won't come back for a few hours so you're prolly boned
it's peak season so I can't just pretend to work tomorrow morning either
surely you get a lunch break or something
yeah
but I usually just piddle around during lunch to relax
not to mention if I get a call that goes over time I might have to push my lunch back
jesus christ the new BD2 character's skill animation reaches new levels of neuron activation
i kneel before their L2D quality
now that i have nearly nothing better to do in ae, i've returned to the astral archive mines
let's just say yakumo is a hell of a drug
gotta love the depressed edgy salaryman
fuck this fight forever
kms+machinery requirement or take 0 party bonus, and instant kills every turn past turn 2 unless you hold ground
at least i never have to do it again
this one can also get fucked
royalty+beast is a bad time if you're trying for party bonus
anyway, that's all of main story volume 1 astral archive challenges done
ida school+glasses for this one
fists+spirit-fused
(the combination of both is only on amy as far as i can tell, and while i could have probably made a solid fists comp for this, was just easier to brute force it with sesta/shigure)
psychic ego is still as bad as ever, literally cannot brute force it with this comp
no character in the game has both bind and estrangement, making act bonus very hard to acquire
so will probably end up having to run some jank yakumo comp
oh also no katana character in the game has either bind or estrangement, making it impossible to bear for shigure and sesta without using yet another non-party req character
oh also nikke maintenance got extended 3 hours
which means only one thing
LONG CRUST
mydei is still mad about losing that arm wrestling competition lll
won the 50 as soon as i hit soft pity, it's that easy
and luckily no need for dupes or sig, so it's vector saving time
rapi is back in the lead, by 28k votes
an absolutely razor thin margin at these numbers
time to go get some more rolls for gfl
rapi red hood: 549,771
cinderella: 521927
how many votes does base rapi have at this point lol
i do think this is the furthest either of them have led, despite still being razor thin
correct
first reveal had rapi with like 300-ish lead, then cindy with about 5k, and now rapi with 28k
They could make it so votes for original rapi get consolidated into the red hood votes
base rapi has 15,218
ok so at this rate if rrh were to lose, it wouldn't be because of base rapi voters
hold the line rapibros
we must get our free skin
yeah some people were coping for this, i don't see it for reasons already mentioned
incidentally, no other nikke has even 200k votes as of the last reveal
crown is at around 182k
scarlet and sbs combined onlyl get to around 230k
helm, for all the favoritism she was given this year, isn't even at 90k
bready is holding steady at around 50k, in a comfortable 12th place
grave is < 40k, but i assume at least some of her would-be voters are trying to move mountains for her daughter
btw do we have crust's kit yet?
i didn't see a post earlier bc of all the propaganda
another 2-pager lol
BRO WTF
who gets this lucky
(not my roll obv)
(since i definitely don't have crown to start with for me to pull a dupe)
thanks based rapibro
burst 2
solo
i used to pray for times like these
do i need to scroll back a few months and find your triple cindy pull
please don't
anyway, looks like using her as a spam shooter gives you her distributed damage buff, while using her on auto gives you her sustained damage buff
nah you need manual play for both
you need to hold her charged shots for 1 sec after full charging to get her sustained buff
oh is that what that means?
which is good because otherwise auto play would be in perma-sustain buff mode, even if you wanted her in distributed
i figured it'd count any full charge shots since doing 3 of them would def take more than 1 second
so basically you can manual her into distributed, then switch to someone else and be fine
yes
(if you wanted to control someone else anyway)
aight
also compared to the distributed damage buff, the sustained damage one looks really low
do dots just have big base damage in this game or something
sorta
like, to use bready as an example
her sustained damage skill does ~150% ATK damage per sec for 5 sec, so 750% total
her distributed damage skill does 265% ATK every time it triggers
hm ok
i'm not really sure how much crust will be used tbh
her buffs are fine and a solo b2 is blessed
but she's clearly raid fodder
and raids usually need healing
which she doesn't provide
so you need to get it elsewhere, but the number of viable b1/b3 healers is quite low
Anis is solidly in ninth, from the looks of it- right behind Alice
grave almost in the picture 
i wonder who the loser of rapihood/cindy will have to square up against next year
probably overspec anis at least lol
Time commitments and the general gameplay style of Nikke have kept me from returning again
For now, at least
But you know who I'll be voting
im gonna be honest i feel pretty burnt out on nikke rn
i feel like the grind isn’t enough
i might come back when i feel like it
you mean you want to grind more?
how tf do I have 11 pulls until elite item in gfl2 when you can only do 10 pulls
bizarre
no i mean the grind isn’t enough for me to want to come back
you can hit pity in the middle of a 10-pull
I am pulling for crust daughter
Hopefully this doesn't cost me down the line
phrasing
oh sure that must have happened with klukai then
i didn't get bready so i'm holding the fort for half anni
yeah that's why when i was creeping up to pity, i started doing 1-pulls for mechty
it's ultimately a minor thing but you can save yourself from overpulling on a banner that way
i have a suspicion it'll be a double banner
in theory there is literally no reason to 10-pull besides dopamine
it's inefficient in terms of pulls
does gfl also not have guaranteed at 10 rolls?
it does, but you can hit that 1 pull at a time too lol
oh right
to be clear, dopamine is a perfectly valid reason when we're talking about a gambling game
but ye i do all my rate up banner rolls as singles nowadays
also gfl2 especially makes it really annoying to do repeated 1-pulls
ordinary recruitment, i do 10 rolls to save time
you can't immediately reroll from the roll results screen, you have to go back to the recruit screen to do it
oh
did a new chapter or side story drop
the early poster I subscribe to is posting new stuff
side story dropped, yes
yes we got a new side story
for little mermaid (and leviathan, presumably)
i do find it interesting they're dropping a side story that's clearly directly relevant to the character anni is likely to focus on, right before anni
they sorta did that with second affection before last kingdom, but marian isn't the "focus" of last kingdom
and wordless had nothing to do with old tales
in other news, apparent CN leaks of yi xuan
goodness gracious they look heavy ma'am
caesar has new competition
little mermaid has voice-based powers
||yuni currently can't talk beyond following magilou's command to say "coo"||
are they cooking something here
i will not be clicking that spoiler
gonna play the side story later today after work
i haven't read the side story yet
this is information you should know if you played wordless
... that just looks off somehow
i mainly put it in spoilers bc idk how far skipper and guy are
i'm quite dubious about it tbh
she didn't look near this big in the dev talk
and they just look balloons here
would not put it past a gacha game to "upgrade" a character's design
even if hoyo did do that, this looks like an uncharacteristically low effort upgrade for them
which is why upgrade is in quotation marks
crust wants to lick me too
uhh can i take a rain check
rub your fingers in everything that i made
uhh can i take a rain check
"I reluctantly start to caress the food before me..."
translators, couldn't you have picked a less suggestive word for this
crust wants tia to lick me too
||why couldn't it have been naga|| uhh can i take a rain check
silverash looking a bit too happy there
@runic ether which light cone for now?
mudfish ||okay so like, wtf is this black water shit||
||random black puddle that is actually a bottomless pond and caused leviathan's issue for as yet unexplained reasons||
truly medb in a nutshell
How am i supposed to choose only 1 
Ive narrowed it down to 15 for now i think 1 qill take a while
lots of great options
i chose cindy's bc even though i'm pushing rapi red hood in the main poll, cindy is still one of my absolute favorites and that gives me a chance to support her
2 things what do i use on sw then cause my team is aven sw jiao acheron and because i dont use welt and just put sw lightcone on someone to be there
The QOL for Arknights' dormitory is fantastic in most ways
But the "rotate operators" function is tripping me up like mad
I think it's in part because I don't have set-in-stone teams for every single room
There's a few specific combos I stick to for the Trading Post, but in the Factory I just try to get 1-2 productivity characters and 1 capacity increaser
arknights dorm qol
did they make it so it's actually worth fully upgrading everything
or is 2-5-2 still the way
I can't answer that lol
I can tell you that they set up a function to let you swap dormitory with trading post/factory/reception room in a single button
But you have to set up multiple presets for each individual room
You can also see each clue type without having to use muscle memory now
That's a boon
neat
... what kind of weapon is that
@long tree @simple wind They gave it a grave marker 
unfortunate doesn't even begin to describe my experience with this fight
thankfully i never have to do it again

izuna made this much more manageable
ez
katana was one of the party reqs, cat lover was one of the others, and between those two, the god comp could be used, albeit in a slightly reduced state
my harumasa pieces randomly:
Nice
.......i'll just say "ez" and go from there
(the threshold for the final reward on this was 222,034,000)
anyway, that should be all of volume 1.5 astral archive challenges done
special shoutouts to psychic ego and ogre baron (the one directly above) for being particularly annoying fucks
Sec
Its time to bully Khaios I see 
Disc 4 is mid but it doesnt matter because I overcap crit anyway
my weak disc now is 6 thats it
Mines 4 but only kinda
In theory if I got luckier with disc 4 I could even switch off Marcato but thats getting into minmax territory
@rapid bough thoughts? 
yeah realistically if i get a good disc 6 but it rolls crit, i need to get off marcato
I have a better disc 1 in my backpocket that has 2 or 3 crit rate rolls
But its not worth using rn
which would honestly be ideal tbh
I can switch disc 4 to crit rate as well, but then I overcap even more
And I lose like 40% CD (Which isnt the end of the world but eh)
God if only my rolls were this cracked on Jane 😔
actually ez this time
two of the party reqs were sword and katana, this makes the comp extremely easy for my roster
Not sure why ZZZ feels easier to gear tbh
i believe they dont weigh individual stats against each other
crit stats in genshin and hsr are rarer for instance
same with elemental mastery main stat and er substats
and elem% goblets
same in hsr
but hsr has 4 pieces so an off piece is not a thing
which is why genshin is not too bad
- the now guaranteed rolls into the crit stats
zzz has an "off piece" 2pc disc set
and someone like hugo uses 2 off piece disc sets lol
at least for now
but it just creates less rng
even if its technically more
oh and
genshin and hsr have only 2 relics/artifacts that have a fixed mainstat
zzz has 3
Oh yeah
and have 3 others actually makes it a bit more consistent in getting enough stats all over
I never thought about that
like maybe you roll mid to good in all 6 pieces
Also Hugo really doesnt use a 4-disc set?
but all 6 pieces are contributing to your overall
all options are kind of cope
atm
his most reliable for substat distribution is 2pc/2pc/2pc
hes kinda similar to evelyn in this case lol
they both lack a fantastic 4pc
Huh
i say kinda cus his options are more cope than hers if you want a 4pc
you can technically go 4pc branch
if you commit to enough em subs
Im not sure when he could get a set then tho
Cuz like
2.0 is gonna be new sets for the 5* coming then
who knows actually
Doesnt work, its Anomaly Mastery not Proficiency
Youd have to sacrifice disc 6
i said em too 
but yeah
its awkward as hell
also yeah some leakers have not been sure on there being a new class yet
we'll be waiting until after the 2.0 beta goes live
I see
we'll also know if eve and hugo get a proper disc set
which we know at least from genshin, they arent afraid to release specific sets years after release
like childe got a set specifically for him
2-3 years after he released
same with xiao
he got 2 in fact
and ayato
hes stronger, raw, than harumasa
the haru/zhu yuan tier of dps
hes above them
but hes below sanby
who is below miyabi of course
I see
i do feel like they balanced him around the fact that besides lighter
his last slot is extremely flexible
2x stunner is great
astra is great
but so is almost any support
in theory you could do a 2nd dps there but they'd need to be fire or ice
Thatd be kinda silly given that Miyabi exists
well yeah but she is a voidhunter
my guess: the voidhunters will be the dps peaks/support peaks/stun peaks etc etc
everyone else will hover below them
Im not a fan of doing it like that but meh
Oh yeah, I realised something while playing Daybreak 2
Theres a way they could buff slow and freeze and make reducing enemy speed matter again
Create a mechanic where the longer the enemy went without a turn, the more damage you do
Reduced whenever they do get a turn again
how many times do we gotta teach you this lesson
sword+katana party reqs = ez clap
Man, I wish I’d been able to get Laios and Chilichuck
this one's wind+cursed, again super easy since necoco, shigure, and sesta are all wind
damn titan ogre actually had a pretty high threshold too
its last reward is at 465m, one of the highest i've seen
most of them are in the 200-300m range
be me, scrolling through nikke propaganda posts looking for some discussions
see rapiganda
title begins: C'mon fellow (redacted)ists
ok
i'm 99% sure that's bait, i refuse to believe someone accidentally used that specific word
ok

my favorite nikke costume vote
probably the only gacha costume so far for which i've never experienced an ounce of regret after purchasing
just please shift up give us more than 5 lobby screens
SBS gacha skin and s.rosanna burst are locked to my lobby, never to be replaced
so i only have 3 rotating options and that ain't enough god dammit
(currently the other 3 are rapihood burst, helm gacha burst, and naga gacha burst)
well reached pity but got her in the end
Sleepo Beepo
Wow, hsr really wants me to pull castorice, huh?
Too bad, i have like none of your team
Also, castor-ice and pollux? Very cute
yea
shes probs one of the worst pulls for an f2p account if you dont plan on at least e0s1 for her
but as a character, as im working through the story, has been solid
is castorice the wizard version of burnice or something
more of a summoner but
finished mudfish story ||and now i guess i see what they were cooking releasing it right before anni, since i imagine anni will be little mermaid's perspective picking up right where mudfish left off||
Sumanai, Jot
big rip
||maybe we'll finally get to see what the inside of a rapture looks like when it's intact||
||the mystery of what the hell the black water is continues to grow. it was introduced in the main story with leviathan and now we see it introduced to levi by accident and she doesn't have any fucking clue what it is either||
||all we really know is that it's simialr to siren's bubbles (shoutout c36 end boss + recent solo raid attacking with bubbles) and actually formed by nanomachines, but "nanomachines" in nikke is code for "magic" so that doesn't really help much||
||incoming metal gear collab featuring senator armstrong||
this was absolutely not free
despite favoring wind, and therefore some of my best characters, the mechanics made it really annoying to do my usual strat
so i returned to the (relatively) "dated" strat of supporting an attacker with yipha as
and while with this strat it was first attempt, i had several failed attempts before this
among the other "allies" fights in astral archive (which are some of the hardest)
i'm saving azami until after aldo as kit is revealed so i can see if he makes a decent duel bot for that fight
gariyu hits like a fucking truck even if you play a full on water comp and i'm not sure i have the units to make him manageable
aldo is absolutely horrible because of the party requirements (dragon and guiding light)
i cannot overstate how ridiculously bad the aldo challenge fight is if you're keeping to party bonus
maybe utpalaka makes it easier, but i haven't leveled mine up yet
it's not even like dragon/guiding light are the worst traits to be locked to, except the aldo fight is full of weird shit that makes it extremely hard as of the last time i attempted it
and the actually decent defensive characters in either of those traits can be counted on one hand
so i'd be banking on utpalaka (and i guess eva since she has her rebalance and manifest weapon, haven't stellar awakened her yet)
oh and galliard/helena fight i haven't even begun to try yet
i actually dont' expect that one to be that bad, though
lance/staff/katana/synth human are all traits for that one, giving me a suzette/melody as/shigure es/sesta as front line that should be enough to handle it
and then the two i've already done, cerrine (the one above), and feinne as (which i did a while back)
lol i just used a fire comp with feinne as in the front
kid/feinne as/minalca as/ewan
ten pull for Crust tonight
no dice yet
I'll try again tomorrow
godspeed soldier
saw the first ten parts of the event
||ngl my eyes got a little wet there||
aldo, thillelille, and sesta in the top 3 of ae's popularity poll
again
feinne 4, suzette 5, xianhua 6, moke 7, iphi 8, amy 9, depressed edgy salaryman (yakumo) 10
good to see moke still showing out
moke aside, of the 9 playable characters on this list, amy is by far the worst one in gameplay (and she got a rebalance last year that still doesn't even make her comparable to a character you can get much earlier than her who fills the same role)
maybe one day she'll get justice
aldo has protag advantage, thilly has always well outperformed on these (and her extra style is incredibly strong), and sesta is a floofy wolf girl (and both her normal and another styles are incredibly strong)
i think there's a pattern here
gonna have to don the detective cap and investigate
also they finally posted a new survey
and boy do i have some thoughts
which i will not share in here
When traversing a certain area in Main Story Part 3 Volume 4 by vehicle, it is possible to get stuck in certain narrow geography and become unable to progress.
Note: Should this occur, tapping your vehicle will allow you to return to your starting location.
lol
this is the same issue they had in volume 3 where you could get your ship stuck between rocks underwater
but at least this time you can fix it yourself
When a sidekick who joins your party in Main Story Part 3 Volume 4 is equipped with certain sidekick equipment, the Charge Skill ability effect of changing the activation rate of additional effects may not be realized.
way to spoil that:
- there's a new free sidekick in the next story content (which will be released tomorrow night)
- what their activated skill does
Raised Max Damage Value per Hit
・The maximum amount of possible damage in one hit has increased to 9,999,999,999.
Note: If the calculated damage exceeds 2,500,000,000, the damage will be reduced.
this was revealed in the stream last week, and it's a necessary change considering single hit attacks were greatly devalued of late, but we're probably gonna see enemies with like 30b hp bars or something at this rate
hell, the tower of wisdom refights got up to 80b or so hp if you reran it enough times
but those weren't mandatory
okay so they actually have a checklist of possible collabs to gauge interest in this survey lol

and of course nier is on it
heaven burns red is in house, so i think that would be inevitable, except ae never got a collab with danmachi while danmemo was still in service
while danmemo did get an ae collab
so who the fuck knows
a frieren collab would fucking slap tho
and i've been asking for re:zero for a while now since (unlike nikke), that series actually makes a lot of sense here
due to, you know, time travel being at the core of this game's story
that is a big list of potential collabs
there is also the obligatory "other" option, i just omitted it

but yeah, they just threw a lot of options out there
i'd probably avoid anything owned by square enix since all the available evidence indicates those collabs would be time limited (in a game where that's not the norm)
also, chrono trigger is a very noteworthy exclusion from the above list
since this game was very clearly inspired by it and has some of its old staff involved
(and the chrono cross collab exists and is one of those time limited collabs)

damn, trigger is actually kinda fun
she is
resisting the urge to pull for her is rough
but it's easier when i remind myself she's another character who benefits massively from her sig wengine too
so pulling for her would also be committing to pulling for her weapon which is 🤮
jesus chirst i just read through it
you werent kidding
yeah it's kinda absurd
to be clear, she's still good without it
but it's kinda offputting just how much better she gets with it
im sure hellfire gears is competetive with it 
in terms of pure daze/stun ability, alternative wengines are pretty close
but in terms of squad buffing ability her wengine is nuts and way ahead of everything else
she basically becomes a mini-nicole with the DEF shred
also makes her way easier to build since it gives crit rate which she needs and no other stun wengine gives
Half of nicoles kit as a bonus on a w engine 
rapihood still in the lead, by slightly more this time i think (+10k or so?)
hold the line rapibros, the free skin is as good as ours if this continues
if i'm recalling the last poll correctly, i think today or tomorrow will be the last day they update the public vote totals
pretty sure they start hiding them over the last few days of voting

also yi xuan's arms look kind of small
oh fuck it is
this is an area where ZZZ character design seems to consistently miss
caesar has twigs for arms too
I think it's just a hoyo thing
yeah but to my knowledge no other hoyo game has characters with absolute badonkers on the level of caesar, yi xuan, rina etc
and that's where it seems to be most noticeable
yeah true
hoyo apparently has a predetermined amount of body mass to allocate and on characters with huge honkers the arms end up looking like noodles

looks like yi xuan is getting a new character class? "annihilation"
reads a bit like "the cooler attack"
wonder if it's an actually new class, somehow doubt
by name alone it feels like it's more of an adjacent move from existing classes, like miyabi's frost element was for ice
maybe void hunter(-level) agents will just always get unique elements/classes that do fancy shit
yeah it feels to me like its a fancy class type like miyabi's element
will be interesting to see if they actually give her void hunter subclass in-game and/or make her miyabi level
if so, i can't help feeling a bit rushed
miyabi was built up from 1.0
and other named void hunters have at least been hinted at if not seen
yi xuan (while not technically a void hunter... yet) sorta came out of nowhere in comparison
Thats not the white woman normal smh
... Im not gonna lie this design kinda sucks
Theres just no cohesion
but booba!
i do actually agree, beyond being superficially attractive she just kinda has generic gacha woman look
Like she has a bunch of individual elements that are kinda hornybait
But they dont really come together
i feel like they're saving the more thematic parts of her design for whatever state she goes into where she gets wings
prolly post-ult
but her base design is definitely kinda whatever
Also damn, Hugo buff
Yeah the design kinda feels like they shuffled multiple designs together
But hey, i always appreachiate a character coming out that i dont care for
grumble
forgor to vote for my favorite costume
did it already reset? i thought new voting round start on daily reset
there's a pretty good chance she's miyabi-tier broken so for meta you may end up wanting her anyway lol
unsurprsingly i actually like the design because i am a simple man
it's far from my favorite but there's a reason the "generic gacha woman" design has worked so well across the medium lol
I already have miyabi tho so im good
she'll prolly be a main DPS to trivialize ether weak content just like miyabi is for ice
funny thing is that a lot of content thus far has been both ice + ether weak
wonder if they split that up more to encourage pulling for yi xuan lol
just realized lighter's release was right before miyabi and now hugo's is going to be right before yi xuan 
hoyo doing their husbandos dirty
Average roll for a guy like me
https://x.com/SoundOriented/status/1910707520693207339
lighter still sold surprisingly well on top of it being a new season effectively meaning we're bound to get a ton of pulls, i can see hugo still doing well as a banner
RIP
Degen skin acquired
The skin doesnt seem that bad to me tbh
greek tragedy
That skin seems fine
It was a pun on "degen"
(In this case Degen is german for dagger, her name is basically daggerbreaker)
nikke special vote today is for most memorable normal story event, so old tales got shafted lol
Reading the joke explains the joke 
footstep, walk, run is also not on the list despite the other ny events being there
and both for rest and new flavor are there, so it's not a "this is too new" thing
so if the internet is to be trusted, nikke cn had a collab announced with a property that heavily featured male characters
then it promptly got cancelled
also the property seems to be set in ancient china?
i'm not seeing any actual sourcing beyond some screenshotted tweets from nikkepedia jp, which themselves don't provide sources, and diving through japanese and chinese sources is nearly impossible for me lol
...whoever decided to label them "rapiblicans" and "cindicrats" needs jesus
or whatever your choice of higher power/messianic figure is
saw that lol, if true then the CN gacha community continues to prove it is beyond saving
the funny part is that those leaks never indicated there'd be male characters in the collab
indeed
people just assumed because of the IP
and got mad
based entirely on the possibility of male collab characters
did they revolt over the legendary commander yet?
nah i think CN gacha community is specifically raging against the idea of playable male chars here
it is/was but idk what the discourse is like over there
fair
i know CN nikke changed mustang's design significantly
okay tbf the cn design is based
the reason behind it is bad, but the design itself is great
but i haven't heard of any pushback toward the major male NPCs like mustang or andersen
(idk if johan/LC are known over there by now)
alrighty
Loving the comically large magnet
https://x.com/acheswaan/status/1910249468915573117
almost have to wonder if they didn't include because it'd get 99% of the vote lol
fuckin magnets man
gonna have to do a thinkus on what my favorite normal event is now
i actually have really liked the current crust event
i was gonna pick old tales even if old tales and footstep were both in it, but neither of them were
so i went with the event i played that i found the most memorable, which is wisdom spring
bc of the plot bombs dropped in it
She really pulled out the doohickey to discombobulate the enemy
yeah wisdom spring is a good choice
is nya nya paradise an option or is it only in the past year
nya nya paradise fucking ruined me man
i think i saw it in there
goober gaming
Vector and PP90/Uchii are there
this idiot doesn't even finish the title call lmao
I'm reminded of this infographic from prior to the game's release
I wonder when we get to see Welrod, Harpsy/TMP and Uchii/PP90
afaik they're in the loading screen cutscene

also, why save boxes and shards for it?
just in case you need to shard anything from past wall purges
hip hip hooray for unpaid overtime
yknow, i was thinking, what are the best arknights songs that are actually in the game?
like obviously the eps are all banging but many of the songs that you hear during the gameplay are also fantastic (hard mode, no cc lobby themes)
for me its gotta be some combination of Wlfmster, misty memory(night),Martyr, Dsdevr, minima and terra investment masterclass
zwillingstürme im herbst also has quite a few hits
under tides boss theme and golden age (yes, that's a stage theme) come to mind for me
I've played Arknights for a grand total of 2 hours and I just really like SilverAsh so I am the most qualified to answer this
golden age is dsdevr
I will give the ost a listen real quick
wait that's the name they gave it
in game file name
the abyss hunter themes are all kinda good
https://youtu.be/NR5WqaTdPUk?si=o3fN6rwp2Gr3U_Pl this ones also great

Never fully grasped the story of that one
I know Candle Knight was returning home, Executor was hunting his sister?stepsister?, and there was political upheaval tied to two witch sisters
But I didn't see how it all fit together
end of month yeah
it follows from a few other events
lingering echoes, guide ahead, whatever the other sankta one was idr the name
is it ambigoous morality?
Ohh, I never read Lingering Echoes
That might've been it
yes
yeah you get a chunk of leithanien stuff in LE
all the ebenholz stuff, a cameo from arturia, some other returningn characters iirc and it'd give you context for a few scenes
Ok that one slaps

Can't believe I'm saying this but I might be cooked in Arknights story, lol. Unless it involves Kazimierz, Sui siblings or Penguin Logistics I've probably read it out of order
my situationship really likes ebenholz and has told me all about him and his backstory
hey at least they're putting the events in a proper timeline in the terminal over in cn so we'll have it in 6 months
I personally think he's the best character in the game
Even higher then SilverAsh?
ebenholz has a fantastic ep and dub va too 
Like thorns buried underskin they prickle, murmurs meandering through his veins.
These footfalls sounding fate in the curtain of night—are all but laments.

(still don't have her queen of signatures costume yet)
jealous, i need that skill animation for my lobby (also she is quite good)
i'll pull for her at the end of her banner, as is the strategy for any gacha that gives you free daily pulls
can confirm vote totals are hidden now
we're in the dark til they announce the winner during the anni stream on the 19th
if you haven't played it yet in the archives, highly recommend. this random event for a mostly forgotten character had absolutely no right hitting as hard as it did
ye i saw that earlier when i did my part to help rapi win
but honestly, they should have been hidden to start with
it's a complaint i have with the azur lane popularity polls too
ok this might be my favourite gfl2 emote I've made into a profile pic so far
perhaps I could have done better
but I'll take it
u cant just say that and not post it
i'm still annoyed at not having crown
i feel like just that addition would make my solo raid runs much more consistent
but such is life
so fucking true
that's the name of someone who can end your motherfucking life in several different ways just for asking that question
Dmitry grew on me a lot this event
that's some pristine cope right there
Yeah cause itll actually be a #gravesweep
real grave fans would've voted for cindy because that's what grave would want
Real grave fans vote for grave cause thats what cindy would want

PeepoDetective me all you want, my logic is flawless and my arguments unassailable
if anis gets her overspec in the next 360 or so days she'll be a top threat
as it stands her sr already had a respectable showing
(and seasonals aren't on the poll)
yeah it's like
he's a good guy at heart
but he's a fucking asshat at times
so at this stage i think 2.5 anni will have the bare minimum of little mermaid and overspec mihara, whether they are both banner units or mihara is welfare idk
but i think that means there's a pretty good chance we get overspec anis for either the 3rd anni or new year's (like footstep)
i also wouldn't be surprised if we get leviathan playable somewhere along that path, given mudfish and c36 clearly are clearly setting her up as an eventual ally (though with how c36 ended i think we're a bit off from that)
so assuming no surprises, that'd mean we have whoever lost out of rapihood/cindy + new arrivals of little mermaid, overspec anis, and maybe leviathan
then the usual suspects of doro, crown, and scarlet + SBS
of those, i imagine it'll be another heavyweight duel of cindy/rapihood (whoever loses this poll) and overspec anis
ayy
now i just have to go farm her tome
seriously why did they make her look so much like elseal in her chuuni phase
except instead of demons it's aliens
- the matter of your what?
- you're not the rock, stop
holy shit they made the new story area look trippy
also this phase shift has several enemies i physically cannot reach
it has been 8 years
can we finally get playable king miglance
aldo be like "my bad, i'mma fix it" and king miglance immediately trusts him
what a bro
