doesn't attack much since it gets stunned every 5 sec, and even when it does attack it's all slow shit you mostly can't defensive assist
comparing it to recent aggressive bosses like pompey and miasma priest is just night and day
makes using fufu kinda lame since i can't ever even defensive assist to her, so i just sorta awkwardly switch, press EX or ult, then move on with my day

mortal iron
do we get like farmable units in the game
like an event that gives a character
i dunno what to expect how events work
late canopy
Events only give cards
Legend Race which you can see in the schedule up there give about 90-100 character fragments
It takes 150 to unlock someone if they're a 3*
Later on the game will have permanent daily legend races
1 fragment for a character of your choice a day
So if they've had a normal legend race before, you can unlock them with the permanent one in a few months
mortal iron
i see

In a nutshell: We do not get welfare characters we can get just from a two week event

That's what I mean missing the URs
aside from waifu concerns, the game is long since powercrept by even early URs so your roster won't exactly be lacking so long as you have some or most of them
not that new URs aren't good (even better than old ones -- e.g. lion the most recent UR BB is probably the best BB in the game)
but the game's not hard enough to the point where that matters past insane min-maxxing most people probably won't bother with
i myself like that min-maxxing part of things so i'd be upset if i missed a newer UR

she and mihara are very similar levels of damage
mihara is more versatile tho because she doesn't need to burst

ruler as a class is probably the best one of the whole bunch
old galleon
if you're evaluating on servant quality alone, then it's more muddled
honest pawn
oh no I'm just doing this off of vibes
old galleon
but factoring in the class' specs, it's def not second-worst
slow raft
Oh ruler would be way higher if i considered gameplay at all
honest pawn
I hate both the fact that beast is a summonable class in the first place and the fact that one of the only two playable beasts at the moment is fucking

old galleon
for my own extra class list, beast wouldn't even be on it
both iterations of the class are completely different
making it impossible for me to weigh against the other 6
slow raft
Its kind of as much of a class as shielder is one yeah, but i like draco :)
old galleon
(also we apparently aren't including shielder)
so between the other 6
hmm
it's tricky
i think rulers and avengers are the best classes in a vacuum; rulers have everything i siad earlier and avengers also have 1.1x damage and anti-ruler effectiveness
slow raft
I do wonder if they would put certain servants in the beast class instead of where they are now if they were released nowadays
old galleon
i want to put moon cancers higher bc i have tsukihimie bias, but the class on its own merits doesn't do much for me
it's just that some of its units specifically are absolutely incredible
slow raft
Moon cancer are strong against zerks, right?
old galleon
that's foreigner
slow raft
Oh right, avengers
old galleon
moon cancer is just the regular good offensively bad defensively against zerks
slow raft
I was trying to recall when i ever used them outside lf neutral looping with summer kiara
old galleon
no worries
tbh the currently existing moon cancers are decent at best
s bb becomes good as a ciel carding support, but that requires ciel
the exception to that is arc obv
but next year's moon cancer dump is where the bulk of the quality is
slow raft
Is bb dubai any good?
old galleon
incredibly
slow raft
Havent heard much about her since kazuradrop
old galleon
bb dubai and ciel are the definite highlights of the class alongside arc
i'd also be remiss if i didn't mention hakuno
slow raft
For the longest time the biggest relevance of the class was summer kiara ascension 2
old galleon
and they're a welfare
slow raft
Whats the deal with the hakuno versions btw? Can you get/deploy both of em?
old galleon
you can get them both, but getting the second one will take time iirc
you cannot deploy them both in the same fight despite both having different servant ids
slow raft
Reasonable

oh oof
glossy latch
Hmm
The smart thing to do is get Sunday or Tribbie then pull for Hysilens so I can do DoT again
summer hornet
Or at least Sunday LC
glossy latch
I aint pulling a Lightcone 
Also rare instance where looking at it I dont think Hysilens is that good as a unit for DoT (unless you also want to have Tribbie because of course thats the best third option) but ... I kinda like the design?
Also not sure why the greek world has a chess-themed character who looks more like Alice in Wonderland than ... well anything greek really
runic ether
cerydra works entirely for phainon/anaxa/archer but yeah
flavor fail however, because hysilens was so in love with cerydra, that when cerydra left, hysilens was depressed enough to just leave into the ocean and never return
and yet they dont work well together
at all

hysilens enabling the other 2 is the key here

In theory, but it doesnt look like she is much better over Ruan Mei?
... or Tribbie apparently
Because of course its Tribbie again
runic ether
she will be better than ruan mei for sure unless u have lc + eidolons on rm
nothing is better than tribbie really
bc tribbie's own damage is really good
and in the set ups with 1 turn ult kafka, well
runic ether
tribbie is gonna also be ulting a lot
runic ether
of course this is also v1
glossy latch
But I might get Hysilens just because I like her aesthetic and animations
runic ether
yeah same
glossy latch
Its a very flow-y kind of swordsmanship
glossy latch
Cerydra meanwhile ... idk
People compared her to Furina, I dont think she has Furinas style
runic ether
i like her design in theory she just doesnt fit amphoreus

And the Alice in wonderland aesthetic just sticks out really oddly

plus amphoreus already had its furina moment

Also seems we got more confirmation from datamining ||that were getting Elation||
||5* Sampo lets goooo||
I do wonder though ||how they will try to justify a new path this time||
runic ether
they were really slick with making sure that archer worked best with the twin tailed brown/dark haired short girl in red
runic ether
I do wonder though ||how they will try to justify a new path this time||
aha: it would be really funny
glossy latch
Now what they could do
That they obviously wont but they could
||Is make the gimmick that Elation can use all light cones||
runic ether
||that'd be possibly super broken though. but it would also be pretty funny so||
also partly wonder if this is not just like zzz
where its ||a special form of the base path||
glossy latch
||Itd fit with the paths general theme||
runic ether
||ie miyabi/yixuan||
runic ether
||could have it be "elation" as a special path for what would be a harmony sampo||
glossy latch
Plus like
||Thats kinda already what Acheron did and shes not a special path so idk||
Also I really should finally catch up on HSR's story
Amphoreus only mildly interested me but apparently the newest chapter should have sea monsters of some kind 👀
runic ether
yeah i really like the lore of the world as a whole

Ok so how exactly does the data link in uma musume work?
Assuming i never spend money on the game can i just play on phone and steam interchangably?

data link allows you to load the account on another device
account link also does it? I don't really know the difference tbh

is it wise to roll for support cards rn or is there an upcoming banner thats better

summer hornet
I'm probably gonna skip Hysilens, unless I'm REALLY lucky with the rest of 3.4
runic ether
im gonna grab e1 tribbie
and maybe some lightcones
to get archer's lc for free this patch
im skipping saber at least until 3.6
if we get gil im skipping her for sure
e1 obtained
hmmmm
now do i get sparkle's lc?
or sunday's
hmmm
im getting tribbie's for sure
but im unsure on the others hmmm
nah nvm on sparkle that lc is kind of ass wow
s1 obtained on tribbie now
50 pulls left and i get archer's cone
sunday cone time
it came fucking early
fuck
fuck fuck
lol
arghhhghjgghjhj
idk if i risk any pulls
fuck it nvm im not risking shit im not pulling until hysilens
i guess i'll try my luck at phainon
alright didnt get him in the 30 pulls i had left over
archer cone guaranteed, archer guaranteed
sunday is now e0s1, tribbie is e1s1
my sparkle had already been e2
alright im set for now
dividing it up: 200 pulls exactly was a 5 star, and 3 lightcones. not bad.
rigid pilot
I got Sunday now myself
It is a shame Saber's Eidolons are not great because I'd likely have spent some amount on her otherwise
runic ether
lol
but yea shame
the best investment into saber is
well
not sunday's eidolons either
rigid pilot
What the fuck lol
It feels VERY arbitrary on what characters get really good Eidolons and others get really really mediocre ones
runic ether
what will ur saber team be?
rigid pilot
Saber, Sunday, Tingyun or Rememberance Trailblazer, and Gallagher
Or HuoHuo
I'm undecided
I need to stop using Hyacine and Tribbie everywhere 😭
runic ether
nah thats like the current core
just keep spamming
saber/trib/hyacine
with sunday
lmao

If it ain't broke, no reason to fix it

Not like there's Bond levels in this game subconsciously dictating your team comps
rigid pilot
You know
Maybe I subconsciously chase different comps because of FGO lol
I have Mydei for Imaginary, Castorice for Quantum, Herta for Ice
I'll have Saber for Wind...
But then I realize I don't actually need all the slots filled differently
It is quite weird coming from FGO
Though supports are king here too though this is eternal across games in general
summer hornet
Yeah that's just general gacha logic I think, lol
rigid pilot
I feel like this is just general game meta
summer hornet
I feel like FPS would argue against this, but otherwise yea
rigid pilot
Still if given the chance, I'll probably still wanna get a DPS for each element here too for the heck of it.
I like Boothill a lot so maybe getting him eventually
As for Fire, I don't know really
I have Himeko
Topaz feels... niche?
Lingsha seems nice because I've seen Misty do some heinous damage on her but I also don't feel too strongly about her or her gameplay
I'll try for Kafka at some point for Lightning
summer hornet
Kafka buffs today are REALLY good btw
rigid pilot
I'd love Aglaea though she served SO much cunt
summer hornet
Just missed her
rigid pilot
I know but I had to 😭
summer hornet
Yeah... I did the same thing
summer hornet
rigid pilot
runic ether
i got therta + lc and aglaea on the 3.0 patch
not sure what the problem is
i had also just gotten sunday too
and e2 acheron
summer hornet
Smh your luck is unholy
runic ether
and i followed it up with tribbie
i got castorice and anaxa after that too
and e1s1 hyacine
and cipher e0s1
and now i got e1s1 tribbie and s1 sunday and now i do have s1 archer
rigid pilot
Never play FGO. If you ever get lucky there too I may kill you.
runic ether
oh
that wasnt even the crazy streak
where i got e1s1 jiaoqiu, and e1 fugue
in that same patch cycle with anaxa
that was like
120 pulls?
castorice, anaxa, e1s1 jiaoqiu, e1 fugue
though i've been running hot in hsr for a while
summer hornet
Every time I've gotten more than one character/lightcone in a patch
I had to save right after to build up funds again
runic ether
i just pull and win
(i do get the monthly 30 day pass
so i am up about an extra 20 pulls on average than most ppl

getting her off? 😳
runic ether
Do I go for Phainon or one of the supports 🤔
are you going for cerydra?
if so, phainon
if no, sunday/tribbie
runic ether
phainon rn will still clear but he really wants cerydra
and she isnt generic enough (rn) to recommend her
glossy latch
Mmh
runic ether
sunday gets so much benefit of being able to fit with a ton of characters
even if he isnt the best option for all
he works with p much everyone
runic ether
can always do bronya/sunday too
glossy latch
Question is really how much of an upgrade do I need
runic ether
thats a fun team
glossy latch
I mean I already have Sparkle for that
runic ether
sunday is better
glossy latch
I'm sure he is
slow raft
X
glossy latch
Like objectively it should be tribbie
I refuse to get Tribbie however
Sunday is also better but I don't really like pulling supports whose roles overlap >.>
summer hornet
I mean I see it like Harmony Trailblazer and Fugue
Two characters with similar roles lets you use the same strategy in two teams at once
runic ether
ehh depends
sunday/bronya/sparkle is a different beast it'd be like if fugue was so much stronger than hmc that u would never touch hmc in an optimal team where hmc would have been
thats sunday to bronya and sparkle
sparkle needed archer to be baked entirely for her and sunday is still nearly as competitive anyways
glossy latch
I just don't like pulling supporta tbh
Like objectively it's correct but they're not as cool
runic ether
yea i can understand that
i do feel like zenlless did a good job at making supports still feel interactive and cool
though i do think hsr has pretty nice support
glossy latch
Realistically the best support to get would be Robin
But you still can't turn off her ult, can you?
Specifically the music
digital marlin
It's a mix bag there
He song is alright
But the battle themes in this game are too good to be interrupted like that
summer hornet
Phainon ult sends most of the battle themes into a weird permanent echo
runic ether
like feixiao's ult
slow raft
Im so glad that skadi alter in arknights is much more subtle than robin
Eldritch horror she may be, at least she had the decency to be relatively quiet
slow raft
Admittedly her theme is super good

slow raft
its complicated
idk what the up to date thought is but they did not like being refered to as a woman last time i checked

mordred in apoc does just say "call me a woman and you're dead" to their own master outright
which was pretty based ngl

refer to my comment on how im not qualified to talk about it

what does that mean tho

to me she reads as trans. not necessarily ftm but definitely genderqueer. not sure if fgo changes the context tho
mortal iron
does he like give dicks to people

slow raft
both, in a way
runic ether
some bs
slow raft
ok so you know how in fates version of history, arthur pendragon was born as a women but pretended to be a man for various reasons.
She still had a wife and they still had biological children
the answer for that in lore was just "a wizard did it" as far as i can recall
the wizard in question was merlin
glossy latch
... do they do anything interesting with Mordred?
runic ether
apocrypha painfully underused her frustratingly enough
despite the master + mordred pair being imo the best part
mortal iron

but like, how do you approach a wizard to ask that
there's just alot of variables im thinking of right now
slow raft
oh, fate merlin is a huge troll and prankster
i imagine he did that shit without even asking
runic ether
if the show focused on them alone it'd probably be great despite everything else kinda being too mid or bad
slow raft
... do they do anything interesting with Mordred?
mordred has a bunch of interesting stuff going on and a bunch of it is based on real life arthurian myth ive been told
they have several big roles in the early fgo story, with camelot being the arguably more compelling version
runic ether
morded is defined by how much they detest arthur for not recognizing them as the next king
and its p interesting the conclusion they hit in apoc
mortal iron
oh, fate merlin is a huge troll and prankster
i imagine he did that shit without...
well okay that does solve alot of those
runic ether
but again, the show itself doesnt give us enough
slow raft
the early parts of fgo arent much but they do give her a nice like
realtionship with a fran thast really wholesome

one of my favourite characters that shwos up in apoc is avicebron and i dont think that guy even does anything in the show
