If I was hunting for the A signature wengines, are those only in the standard pool?
Belion +3 Snap and Agent guilver are who i have right now
you can look at the signal details for any given banner, pretty sure A rank sig wengines are in standard and any rate-up wengine pool
hmm
guess I'm gonna have to pull on the w-engine banners one of these days
Tryna get The Vault for Nicole
definitely don't pull on them for A rank wengines lol
weapon banners are already of questionable value to begin with even when pulling for S rank sigs
they're definitely not worth for hunting A ranks
yeah save the W engine pulling for when you have a devloped rooster and what have any issues with pull for it
dont make the same mistake i did
moccus is also decent for teams that can field 2x calydon agents (usually burnice+lucy)
I got three characters to Level 60
I am now out of character leveling mats
sounds about right
i dont have burnice as part of my plans to pull in the future
as it is right now outside of who i told about before the other character i have intrest in pulling is Trigger
based
but yeah bangboo are pretty minor team contributors so i wouldn't stress about having the perfect ones for every team
you shouldn't be using their chain attacks so most of their strength is decided by their active skills
are their chain attacks that bad
and because the vast majority of damage is being done by your agents, active skills that buff agents are best
Literally bonus contributions
some of them have good chain attacks, usually the ones with high multipliers and a fast animation (moccus is one of them)
but two issues
guessing one has to do with the limited time span of stuns
- most teams with attack agents would rather set up a double chain attack with their main DPS (eve, zhu, s11, etc) -- doing this means losing access to bangboo chain attack to begin with
- stun windows only last so long, and the animations of a chain attack eat into that time. time spent waiting for your bangboo to do its chain attack animation is time you could be spending blasting with your agent
for (2), even the most optimal rotations struggle to fit everything they want into an average stun window
bangboo chains make that even harder
so unfortunately it's not just a "bonus", since you are actually trading away time in the stun window you could spend on your agents
i honestly kinda wish they'd change it so that the stun timer doesn't decrease during bangboo chain attacks to make them actually worthwhile
but it's been that way since the game's release and now we're a year in
something tells me they don't care enough

Don't be so hard on Fukuki 
She's doing her best
I see the problem
You need to release Gold Ship
Into the wild

yeah they aged pretty poorly
What annoys me most about E1 is that its conditional
So either you dont use it, or you risk missing a crit

yay
Soon I can finally use Phainon
Might want to switch from CR to CD on my body piece since Im using under a blue sky though
Do we ever get MoCs where there arent small adds to kill first?
Next week kinda soon no? I thought its like 3 weeks away
Holy shit it is next week
Im cooked chat
Yeah on the 16th
banner starts 16th yea

"The global players have had it too good for to long, drop the meta card now"
"Sir its been literally 12 days"
"...fine give em another week"
well, since it's an iron weak raid and i should probably get this team up and running sooner or later, it's time to get miranda's favorite item to enable snow white memes
that was a cute favorite item story
the temp VA they got for her kinda doesn't fit though
oh well
Oj rigjt does anyone have a club i can join
Ye
I already sent knvites but since thats no longer new i did it again
this is actually a pretty fun boss
shift up kinda cooked
need to proactively take cover at times, destroy certain parts quickly, etc. and doing so rewards you with stuns on the boss and whatnot
nikke raid bosses are usually either a snoozefest or supremely bullshit if you don't have very particular team comps
this one's the right balance of "fun to play correctly and punishing enough if you don't" (i died a few times before learning to take cover at certain times lol)
i got to like 4.something b
2.something of that was with rapi comp bc of course it was
incidentally my red hood comp got 100something m and died early and solo raid was loading super fucking slowly for me at the time so i just left it
on the upside, my numbers are slowly creeping up with every raid
on the downside, it's still nowhere near enough to get the highest frame awards
holy shit raven
this boss is basically perfect for her tbf but damn
also feels good to have a reason to use s.rosanna
she is a genuinely good unit but so few bosses have regular parts to destroy
oh right i say red hood team but that one had my raven in it lmao
my rapi team was what you'd expect, siren/crown/rapi core with eve and helm
i had to restart this due to bad RNG on maxwell getting targeted over and over but...
feels good to finally have snow white dumpstering bosses
preparing for this solo raid only cost me almost all my banked doll maintenance mats and skill leveling materials lol
but tbf i'd been saving them up for way too long
Damn ive had rice shower for two days and if anything happened to make her slightly upset i will kill
holy prydwen doesn't let you search zzz agents by faction
Actual deer of a horse
They should not be allowed to pack this much anxiety in a single horse
Bro this horse is making me cry she cannot be this pathetically adorable
Bah thats it making rice shower sad is now a criminal offence
If only she wasn't a pain to train
watch this to see if this makes her more sad

This is the most pathetic and spineless thing ive seen in my life
Shes getting happiness
Its mandatory

last one for the pathetic compilation
My reroll couldnt get the card fully uncapped but its got 2 uncaps on it so that fine probably
okay
time to prep for solo challenge
apparently the final pr8 ship was revealed last night
italian destroyer named vittorio cuniberti
sadly that name, combined with her design, is gonna draw in the weirdos
gonna purposely choose to ignore that bc it's definitely not intentional on the devs' part and instead think about the order i'll go for them in
so the three golds are: italian vanguard, russian vanguard, american main
and the two rainbows are: dutch vanguard, german main
no idea what factions gouden leeuw will need
since there are all of two total dutch ships in the game right now
the others are at least predictable
there's her design btw
innocent of itself but you know how people get
oh wait they did say what we'll need for leeuw
iron blood/sardegna
so german/italian
considering the netherlands was occupied in wwii, i guess that makes sense
The game has bache or whatever her name is in im not giving them any leeway
how's bache the first example that comes to mind for that?
First one i remembered
fair enough
gold 283 mm ca gun in pr8 gear research
german pocket battleships going ballistic
potentially freed from teh tyranny of 283 purple
like usual i doubt this will stay above 3% but i think this is the highest i've gotten
sadly the snow white team couldn't live through the whole fight
prolly would've done 3m+ if it had healing but even with dodging preventable damage my HP was too low to live through the latter half of the fight
MVP of each team: rapihood (duh), bunny soda (normally it's drake but ele advantage too strong), cindy (duh), raven, and snow white
in all cases the MVP did half or more of the team's total damage
well it's canon that daiyan is perfect wife material
pretty disappointing outcome
I feel like I could have played it so much better but the pattern felt so unnatural and I couldn't pass a few key chokepoints
gonna need the world's biggest harpoon to catch him
for comparison the world#2 is at a bit over 31b
can check ranks tab
not sure why thumbnail is saying 37b, site is showing 35 as highes tright now
beat my previous high by over 100, really crushing raid content in gachas today
i just know my other team is gonna be shit though since there's no good second buff today

made poor impulse pull decisions and decided to MLB raven
took slightly over 100 pulls, i wasn't really counting lol
i underestimated her for lobby meta because her theme song is a banger
and while she's probably more likely to get a collab rerun than any other IP (stellar blade 2 anyone?), i am an impatient gacha gamer with more pulls than i know what to do with
"So, you're an orphan too?" his Master asked.
"I guess so," the man replied. "But I was luckier back then. I had someone looking out for me, kept me from going down the wrong path... Though in the end, I'm not even sure if I grew up 'the right way' myself."
"I feel you." His Master nodded emphatically, "People like us always need a lot of time t...
Archer's officially confirmed as Aventurine's servant- it was already suspected by most people from the main collab trailer, though
didnt they show them together literally
Exactly lmao
It wouldn't have been beyond reason for them to do a bait and switch though
god bless michelle marie for being available as anis for literally every event and livestream ever lol
two memes enter. only one leaves
(azur lane x nikke collab when, would undoubtedly give more aegis squad content)
In the council of gods, no mortal voice is ever heard.

We know that such is the way of the world.
But do the gods act out of contempt...
Or have they at some hour begun to act out of fear?

I don't know if it's okay for me to watch this lol
Has (light) spoilers for the Fontaine archon quest, and then the recent one back in Mondstadt with the chess boss
yeah this is by all means fine to watch
Gotcha
Okay yeah I couldn't make much of that at all lol
Aside from pierro's stuff
And || Rhinedottir, mainly because Skirk brought her up||
The fatui suddenly seem a lot more tolerable now lol
Very clearly the lesser of evils
it makes a lot of sense if you are deep into the book lore
its a pretty massive bomb
even if we knew a fair bit about this, its interesting to note the "action plan" the shades have taken up
on top of this: it deconfirms a ton of theories
such as paimon being istaroth
... ok Hoolay is still kind of a pain in the ass sustainless for Phainon

Ok looking at some showcases my supports must just not be well built
Guess Ill have to figure that out
finally embraced bakushin style teachings and actually put it all into speed
this gave me my highest rated veteran yet

Im so annoyed when the sparks are like stamina 1 star

as if you didn't know this already
raid ranking a few hours before reset... i was 1.98% when i did it yesterday over 12 hours ago. i'm probably cooked but it's gonna be close
upgrades your characters skill
Oooh
if you have 60k by senior year early feb it goes up a level, then again for 70k at early april and then for 120k in december i think
the events valentines day and fan meet either give you the upgrade or, if you dont meet the condition, some amount of skill points
THEY CANONISED THE NICKNAME
They really do make huge sweeping changes to the quality of life every update
Combined with their openness talking to us, and it's very impressive
decent showing for not understanding any of the bosses mechanics til squad two and not spending any thought on teambuilding at all
so lazy smh
yea
Yeeeeeeeeees
and done.
barghest from fgo
alternatively, udk barghest or fairy knight gawain
ah yes the chick that will literally eat you for dinner...
how hungry....
oh right barghest is right up your alley
(and jot's)
and mine
I mean who doesnt love barghest
I prefer bob
Id post more barghest but shes drawn by melon22 so theres not a huge amount of safe art for her
We did get two ces recently that are sfw but yeah
Apparently the japanese wouldnt get the horse glue factory jokes cause they dont use horses to make glue
They instead just eat em
I just saw that tweet too
finding out from a japanese friend that the glue factory jokes don't exist in the japanese uma musume fandom bc they just turn the horses into sashimi instead is so funny. Mejiro Ryan Is Going To The Butcher's Shop.
My TW club server was just talking about this earlier today too
"Interesting, we all say we're sending the horses to be made into canned food"
"Foreigners say they get sent to be made into glue"
20??
Shes a small dragon
I think it has to be because she's ||a dragon wing made sentient or whatever|| lol
Hollow bones for flight
i see
had a fight or flight response too cus i named my pf2e fighter melusine as well and
was confused for a sec
mostly cus this bitch is like 200 something lbs
Missed a zero, it happens
200 kg is not 200 lbs
+2
Barghest be real youre gonna need more than that bag
cheapest way to feed her
@runic ether do you know how much of a damageloss running Phainon with a sustain is?
depends on the sustain
but it is generally around 15%+?
give or take
okay if its not huohuo
the dps loss is over 22%
if its gallagher its "only" 22%
That ... should be fine
Sustainless just isnt working for me, the supports take too much damage and die too early
Think I'm now actually done with natlan seeped the areas with compass
Can't believe how many of those challange bpcs I missed
Somehow frustrating that I can't 0-cycle even with Sparkle and E1 RM
well his lc is like 35% increase from fall of an aeon
so its probable that you're just missing the 0 cycle off that
Yeah but if you cant 0-cycle going sustainless is kinda rough
Because once he leaves his transformation your supports are vulnerable again
who is your 3rd in sustainless?
Sparkle, Bronya, RM
Hmm
Maybe RMC would be better since their technique seems to delay enemies or advance your team
But I dont have them >.>
rmc would be better yes
Ill do Amphoreus eventually™ but idk if itll be in time for this MoC
They do have skip summary now
And you get RMC in the first patch of Amphoreus story
rmc is great because u get e6 for free
and thats probably ovven's concern
can he get rmc now? yeah
can he get it before moc cycle ends?
*get e6
that requires more exploration into amphoreus than i assume ovven would have time for rn
Yeah
Realistically I want to just do it with the characters I have, and its odd because my Sparkle is also E1 (her E1 isnt that good tbf) and fully maxed out
But she isnt really managing
And I just dunno why
sparkle is kinda shit
Damn
they had to custom make archer to work with her
and even then, sunday is almost as good
Then again my THerta team isnt doing great either
Usually 5 cycles, sometimes 6
And Im only missing Tribbie
tribbie is easily 2-3 cycles for therta
Kinda feels like this MoC just kinda sucks tbh
At least if you dont have Castorice and/or Sunday
Archer will probably make it easier
He really does slot perfectly with Sparkle, which should make side 1 easier
Thing is, I have Therta and Anaxa
Side 1 should already be easy
Hell I specifically have E1 THerta
Like this MoC really shouldnt be as hard as it is
Tommorow is lost sword
Unrelatedly, it seems like part of the Fate/Stay Night collab is going to be permanent
tribbie is just that much better for therta
built different in quite a literal sense
new gacha coming out
Oh neat something to try ig
it has body inflation as a mechanic
What
Im not joking shits called horizon walker
i dont' think that one's new
i'm also pretty sure it's one of the most lewd ones out there
Oh damn
last origin's successor
Can I see your oguri
first 10 pull, how does he do it
I got 3 2nd today
Shes a B rank who didnt even finish ura
oh right a2 is out
How
ahh may as well
Speed stamina go brr
event tickets exist
Hoolay being able to take 3 turns in a row fucking sucks
so that's 2b and a2 in 14 pulls total
This was mines
How tf
blessed
Dawg I got 3, 2nd places I dunno how
Mine had awful mood too
now if only they'd update their kits : ^)
I think special week got caught in the traffic
But how are you training horses like that god damn
Borrowing better players sparks and inbreeding alot of my horses to get speed sparks
Currently my highest is +38 speed iirc
Ok no this is doable but goddamn annoying
I dont like Hoolay
Whatever, Ill do it later
On a sidenote, coincidentally speed-tuned Bronya for Phainon
That might end up being relevant
huge
136-135-134?
oh wait u dont have sunday
so wait what
are you on no speed phainon?
172 sparkle/160 bronya?
Nope
130 and 129
This is just in case I wanna do Bronya-Tingyun over Bronya-Sparkle
Since Sparkles buffs might not be as big of a deal (?)
they are not
i'd go 135 phainon 134 bronya
infinite speed tingyun
and rmc
just make sure tingyun is on hp/bp
*hp
maybe hp rope too
cus shes gonna be the party tank
RMC I still dont have tbf
And eh Im keeping RM, she seems quite good
But this is for when I eventually try again
Which is to say, not anytime soon
Imagine if the next MoC ends up way easier
I imagine build stuff like this could be fun if youre trying to 0-cycle
Not so much when its just 3*ing
banner in arknights that guarantees the first 6 star you oull wil be one you dont have yet
look at the possible 6 stars you can get from it
i have all of them
Suffering from succes
suffering from success
Well, more pulls saved up for the absolute bombardment of operators i want thats coming up
Speaking of saved up pulls, i cannot fucking wait for walp
You know whats funny
Thats a different banner
And i did pill on that banner
Because i was misisng like 5 units from it
Including typhoon
Did you get her too
And guess what

I fucking love that the dub gives em accurate accents
Well, i dont know how accurate they are except for the leithanian once but im told that they are
Iberian and Siracusan ones are pretty accurate too
Still waiting for spanish Weedy
Its just very nice to not hear the basic ass anime inflection that almost very gacha with an english dub does
Tho some of the earlier ones were rough
Like british Kroos
Honestly, i think her dub is cute, ive grown to like it
However, i did not realize that she eas supposed to sound british
Oh, event in Uma is also over

QRT: DeltyThe73rd
I'm just sayin, some of yall aren't ready for the official Golshin Golshin Golshinshin song to hit the Umamusume Global servers man but here it is LOL
Really funny how she goes through like 5 different vocal tones
Used Gold Ship for my second career playthrough and literally what the fuck is her problem why is she so mean to me #umamusume #goldship #ウマ娘

︀
Vodka having to race 4 days in a row just to qualify for the Hashin JF only to surge from 8th to 1st during the home stretch and take home the gold THAT’S MY GIRL HONEY IM SO PROUD OF YOU ;w;
unfortunate but not exactly unexpected
skill issue i fear
Have the same issue and figured it was that
That buffed up hollow raider is built different
he definitely is a chunky boy but i got to 1min40 with eve/lighter/astra
though it occurs to me that neither of you have astra do you lol
i also cleared around 1:40~ with soldier 11
its truly an astra-nomical difference she makes for an account
whenever you're using stun window-reliant chars it's always a question of how many stun rotations it'll take you
matching my eve performance? agenda maintained
how many s11 dupes do you have
yeah that'd prolly do it, her m2 especially is really good
i dream of getting eve's wengine and one stunning shiyu bosses forevermore
1:44 specifically
eve is just really strong yea
though eve's mindscapes are just okay overall
11's are about equal
i was lamenting the other day that eve's mindscapes are actually kinda mid
eve's wengine should be a big boost to 11
her base kit and sig are so strong that i guess they played it safe with her mindscapes
like it is p crazy that her wengine beats her mindscapes
havent seen that since like
genshin 1.x patches
i mean eve's sig is just insane for any fire attacker
obviously we only have two rn but i wouldn't be surprised if eve's sig is just second best for any future fire attack char (behind their sig, probably)
yeah true
s11 only have a standard banner sig means she got less power budget so hers is even worse than eve's
yeah even then brimstone is pretty crazy
get 8 normals ult is so much fucking damage on res pen
I do
she was my first 5*
nope
he's another equally important piece to the eve dream team so that's still a big difference

going to focus on getting Yanagi and Miyabi team up and running before i considering doing more pulls for my existing teams
Koleda is going to hold base until them
koleda definitely gets the job done, i also used her before i got lighter
but no question lighter is a night and day difference for that team (and really any team that can use him--he's arguably the best support in the game for the teams that can make use of his buffs)
oh right the nikke summer livestream is around 7 hours away, i will be asleep but at least it'll be fun to wake up to the details
my body is not ready for summer elegg (that has to be why she's the new free episode viewing)
I have spent two hours picking out disks for Nicole
(her two piece set will have minimal impact on her output)
I have made the difficult decision to skip Caesar this run
because we are trying to save pulls for an Eve run
2pc set bonuses can actually make a world of difference if they get you to a stat threshold or something
in nicole's case the energy regen from (presumably) swing jazz 2pc is surprisingly important
that said, the set bonuses are most of what you're after
Swing Jazz is her 4pc
hence all the difficulty lol
the actual disk stats are secondary in most cases
(on supports, that is)
well, i guess it's really A rank supports that's true for
the S rank supports/stunners have stat breakpoints to hit that make good disk stats important
do I want anomaly proficiency or mastery on supportive pieces
well the only piece you'd get AM% on is disk 6 which should have energy regen instead
I mean for the 2pc set bonus
oh
if her ether buildup is actually important to you for triggering corruption then AM% will be better than AP
I'm still not sure I follow all the stats
- Ether DMG affects the damage dealt to the HP bar through Ether sources (which can include basic attacks and abilities)
- Anomaly Mastery affects the rate at which the anomaly bar fills up
- Anomaly Proficiency increases the damage dealt through the full bar proc (and extra effects?)
is that right?
correct
Does Ether's DoT trigger on full bar proc only?
all elemental types only trigger their anomaly effects when the bar fills up (you'll also usually see big text over the enemy saying "shock!" or "corruption!" or whatever)
before the anomaly gauge fills up, it doesn't do anything
gotcha
what can crit
just basic attacks, or any source of damage (outside of anomaly effects)?
any source of damage other than anomaly effects (though sometimes anomalies can crit too if agent mechanics allow it, jane for instance can get assault crits)
I see
so that's why the spreadsheet guide says atk% and crit rate substats are possible chase stats for Nicole
does attack affect all (non-anomaly) damage sources too?
for most characters yeah
for most agents thus far, yes. rupture class agents (currently only yixuan) will likely be an exception to that since they have sheer force
though yixuan gets way better rupture conversion off hp
its hp% > flat hp > atk% > def% > flat atk > flat def
also to be clear, anomaly damage does scale off ATK as well
it just also scales off a bunch of other shit too
specifically AP is a multiplier which is why it's more important for maximizing anomaly damage
but if you had 1000 AP and 1 ATK your anomalies would hit like a wet noodle
so ATK does matter
Got it. So ATK is a chase stat in general for almost everyone.
idk if i'd call it a chase stat
it is a good stat for everyone though
no character thus far is unhappy with an ATK roll, but there might be better ones depending on thresholds they want to hit or their own agent mechanics (e.g. miyabi converting up to 80% crit into anomaly buildup rate)
the general rule is:
attack agents: balance of ATK and CR% + CDMG%, with the latter two preferably in a 1:2 ratio (i.e., 75% CR is best paired with ~150% CDMG)
anomaly agents: AP without sacrificing too much ATK, only exception thus far is miyabi who wants more crit and ATK stats and largely ignores AP (tbh miyabi is more of an attack agent in terms of her damage profile anyway)
stun characters: impact is most important, followed by crit stats (especially getting to 50% CR for king of the summit disk set)
support/defense: extremely case by case, some want tons of ATK (astra), some want a balance of ATK and crit (lucy), others honestly don't have super important stat thresholds and rely more on buffs/debuffs they apply (nicole)
usually it's pretty easy to tell if an agent has some special consideration for their stat priority by reading their core skill
unique scalings or thresholds are almost always in agent core skills
that's where yixuan's HP->sheer force conversion is, jane's assault crits, miyabi's CR% -> anomaly buildup, astra's and lucy's ATK thresholds to apply their full buffs, etc
and if an agent has some fancy scaling off a particular stat, it's a safe bet they want to focus on that stat up to a certain point
Are there any good signs a disk can be safely dismantled? Cleaning out my storage and tryna recoup some resources.
well for a start, any disk less than S rank is fodder from the jump unless you're using it as a bridge piece to get a set bonus (which you might be early in the game, but endgame only ever uses S rank disks)
disks 4, 5, and 6 are easy culprits since you can narrow them down to particular ideal stat combinations and rule out the rest
- any disk in these slots with HP% or DEF% as a main stat is dismantle fodder (except yunkui disks)
- for disk sets primarily used on DPS agents, impact and energy regen disk 6s are dismantle fodder, as is AM% for any disk set not used on anomaly agent
- disk 5s with element% damage of an element that disk wouldn't ever be used on are dismantle fodder (e.g. thunder metal with a phys% roll is useless)
disks 1/2/3 are harder to weed out since they always have the same main stats. my only real policy outside of going through them individually is to dismantle disks that rolled with 2 defensive substats (HP%, HP, DEF%, DEF--except for yunkui where HP stats can be good), but that's mostly late game optimization, you're not far enough along where you can just pass up disks that are suboptimal
Gotcha. Grazie.
optimizing disks is very much the infinite grind of the endgame though so don't sweat having to run super janky sets or suboptimal stats, especially at the start when you're just gearing up characters
and in your case where your roster isn't even fully leveled so you have to burn battery on agent leveling mats that's even more true
burning battery on routine cleanup for disks is definitely a luxury "i don't have anything else to do" activity
with an incomplete roster you'll always get more out of just leveling another agent than you will optimizing the disks of your existing agents
just use the music shop to roll for disks when you need to get an agent's equipment up and running initially

@timber sigil @idle grove GFL2 DEVS DELIVER, PULLS IN DORITO SHOP STARTING JULY 24 + 10 FREE TARGETED ACCESS PERMS
i have saved since release (except for buying QJ's sig) waiting for this day
i think they're totally covering their asses by saying they basically forgot to mention it during the preview program tho
people just complained so much that they caved and decided to add it sooner than planned lol
which tbf is still based, means that they listened
i have 5352 doritos, i'm pretty sure pulls are 30 apiece so i have 178 pulls banked lol
@runic ether you mentioned the other day that yuzuha 4pc is freedom blues, but i assume that's only her BIS for physical anomaly teams
assuming no phys anomaly (e.g. using with yanagi), i'm seeing a mix of astral voice, proto punk, and swing jazz suggested, do you have any idea which of those is best for general use
i'm kinda thinking swing jazz because more energy means more EXes which means more of her aftershocks
she doesn't QA enough on her own to maintain astral, and i honestly kind of hate proto punk because it's so reliant on bosses playing nice and setting up well-timed defensive assists
oh no yeah thats freedom blues for jane/alice
if not, i think u can go with astral, swing, or proto tbh
astral is more generic
just depends on her team
we really need loadouts
i might go with astral even if slightly suboptimal simply because farming swing/proto fucking sucks
actually i guess proto isn't too bad, chaos jazz is an alright set to get extra pieces of
no worse than blade&branch anyway
hmmm
proto's 2pc is literally useless tho
at least astral gives extra ATK
ugh i hate it when characters don't get disk sets made for them lmao
yeah lol but also
imo
it makes builds more interesting
fact that theres good arguments for different sets is good imo
while i do agree i think that's only valid if and when we get disk loadouts
it'll be a when
because until then, swapping between multiple situational sets blows chunks
but yea
genshin introduced loadouts and my complaints of the game vanished more or less
actually
there is just one
cant repeat weekly bosses yet
cant grind whatever talent for skills any time
jesus ZZZ added that in like the second major patch lol
also fuck it i'm farming swing jazz
it's used in too many places
yeah genshin is stuck in 2020 in some ways
the character models are def like
good but
you see phainon in hsr
like
everyone really
in zzz
and genshin starts looking real dated
bro you've got no less than 20 women who want to marry you right now
case in point
it's been 3000 years...
it's been 3000 seconds...
on a serious note, akane ns 5* is the first one to happen for a 3/4 star who got their as form first
wtf
azur lane datamine is out, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vT2ImCehTEEePJqPF1j8tTy2r40BoCUL_BGh6u7O1DP7gyQ1eOUuTHOZBRH8djaNlHibOzcU5sSNMbz/pubhtml (care when opening, first page is the new login screen and this is azur lane we're talking about so the login screen's NSFW)
devs were on copious amounts of drugs when making mecklenburg
539 FP???? wtf????????
i'm mostly curious about the PR8 stuff which seems to be up to date
i really dunno shit about azur lane meta and stat spreads and whatnot
but idk how mecklenburg doesn't instantly become the best BB in the game
was nice knowing you lion
her only drawback seems to be low RLD but she gives herself a +15% buff with another KMS in the fleet (z23 anyone)
the current highest FP in the game is musashi with 479, 15 more than #2 (rafaello)
mecklenburg has 539, literally 60 more
that is an absolutely bonkers increase
and her skills give a bunch of +%damage for the whole fleet and -5 main gun spread to herself
what's lion's fp?
463
it's to the point where i feel like this datamine is either incorrect or the devs messed up
439 would make way more sense, that's still more than vanguard and leaves room for her support skills
oh cool gouden leeuw can equip any cb gun by default
she's basically a cb in all but name
(if she equips a ca gun she ignores shields)
(should still equip a cb gun for the othe reffects and that cb guns arc over shields anyway iirc)
if 539 FP is legit and she also has:
-
- 15% FP and ACC to self, and if a KMS is in the fleet also +15% RLD for self
- -5 main gun spread for self
-
- 15% damage for self against heavy
-
- debuffs to apply up to seemingly +18% more damage from your whole fleet to enemies
-
- 10% CR/20% CDMG to enemies she marks
not to mention she has two barrages
there's just no way she doesn't powercreep every BB in the game
to a degree that ECTL might need to make a new tier just for her lmao
i think that's probably overhyping it
do we even know what the numbers on her barrage are?
i mean like
bc if her barrage is mediocre, then that makes her quite a bit worse than advertised
not yet
though bad barrages haven't stopped other BBs from still being really good by weight of other buffs
looking at vanguard here
lol kansas actively wants a slow gun
mecklenburg meanwhile has over +100 FP on vanguard and around equal buffs to her fleet
so her barrage would have to be REALLY bad to not outdamage everything under the sun
okay so i actually looked at mecklenburg
gonna need to double check numbers
but 63 acc looks backbreaking
she does give herself +15, so effectively 78
which is in line with most other URs
oh 15% not 15 i misread
closer to 10
you kinda have to patch up the accuracy with auxes, which, while you're probably doing that anyway, does make it harder to use black shell
i can't remember the last time i used black shell tbh
anyway, s anis rerun mentioned
always white shell + fire control
based
gonna MLB s.mary
useless for gameplay but SSSSSS tier for lobby meta
also about damn time we get x.anne and x.rupee reruns
solo raid museum is a neat game mode
not sure who was asking for it but seems fun and gives room to experiment with comps which is cool
other stuff from the twitter thread
September QOL changes include:
- auto tribe tower
- lower buff chain requirements
- base Synchro Machine slots from 5 to 25
- removal of cooldown
- batch upgrades when lower than Level 200
- auto use consumable items for Synchro level up
- free level reset
- weapon tutorial improvement
- new mold called Type Mold found in tribe tower, has guaranteed SSR, "as an additional reward while retaining the current Tribe Tower rewards" (dev team thinking about how to reward molds for already-cleared floors)
all the synchro device QoL is ULTRA blessed
hello, based department?
sure looks like those changes + the new type mold are heavily inspired by (if not entirely ripped from) the CN QoL stuff people were malding over
upgrades targeted "within the year" include
- lock consumables to prevent accidental use
- pin/favorite nikke system
- new "story difficulty" option for campaign
- story order guide (to help identify when to play through side content)
- limit break/core enhance batch feature
- character expression viewer
anyway, mecklenburg obv looks very good but i'm still going elf mom first
and tbh, you probably should get her done eventually if you want to do plane hells
yeah i should obviously say that no matter how good mecklenburg is, it'll be quite a while til she's usable lol
gouden leeuw looks a lot like guam with higher numbers in some places and lower numbers elsewhere
and guam is already close to mandatory for chapter 15 qol (not actually mandatory to clear but she def helps)
hold on
are they gonna run six rerun banners in September
alongside whatever new nikkes are running
sure sounds like it
i wonder about their "special rerun recruitment" phrasing, like what's special?
this nier collab rerun has me thinking they'll hand out special recruit tickets only usable for the reruns
which would let them give out a ton of free pulls specifically for the reruns, but those pulls can't be saved to use on future banners
Frima's the gimme
lots of these are teasers for existing nikkes which are obviously gonna rerun
frima's mask
pepper's hat
s.sakura's bikini top
mary's hat
there's both, pepper's is on the left on the table
what i'm noticing though is the orange two-piece swimsuit which i'm pretty sure is new, and the single triangle of what looks like a yellow bikini right next to it
the swimsuit elegg agenda has never been stronger
it's time
man this nikke dev note is blessed
shift up had a ton of fumbles during the first half of the year
but starting with the stellar blade collab and onward to the second half of the year, if it goes as planned, and if they stick the landing for 3rd anni, they could fully redeem themselves by year's end
Glad I held out and didn't buy extra synchro slots
I need those extra 20 slots
btw don't forget the CD key in the corner of the image
NIKKESummerKickOff
man idk why i'm still awake at 3am but i'm glad i was, PR8 datamine and this nikke dev note have got me hype (the PR8 hype will die down immediately once reality sets in and i realize i can't use any of the ships for months lol)
and i get to wake up to the nikke summer livestream tomorrow
life is good in these final days before my wallet is drained
I have no idea what I'm doing
Lost by a head so you got luck diffed
For those who beat special week legend race, show me your build
Mine looks like this, 100% winrate vs El, lost once versus Spe
OwO
holy
Nikke summer preview stream
@rapid bough tell me when you watch the nikke stream
my therapist: colonel sanders gold ship doesn't exist she can't hurt you
︀︀colonel sanders gold ship:
Looks like Raidian is STILL just going to be an IS6 exclusive operator
Soooooon
pretty excited to know what other servants there could be tbh
watched
I saw the rapi and elegg unit on twitter theyre going for wallets hard huh
the RRH gacha skin
might be my first one
nikke livestream summary:
- new summer event, obviously -- boom! the ghost!
- CATCHMEIFYOUCAN717 CD key to redeem
- new unit: elegg: boom and shock
- new unit: dorothy: serendipity
- reruns for last year's summer sakura and rosanna
- new costumes: rapi red hood (swimsuit, gacha), tove, julia
- summer frima, yan, pepper skin reruns
- new favorite items: poli, julia, bay, tove
- solo raid museum (this was mentioned in the latest dev note)
new unit: dorothy: serendipity
@old galleon it was foretold
limited pilgrim alt
they didn't mention in the livestream how it will be handled (1% or 2%)
however, the screenshot they shared on twitter says "limited pick-up recruit"
which would be 2%, since pilgrims normally have pilgrim recruit
I love Yan but I might have to skip the summer skin rerun
too many things tryna snag mi walleta
also the RRH gacha skin looks peak but i'm so conflicted because she also won the popularity poll
so she's meant to be getting a free gacha-quality skin later this year
also on twitter
Summer Rosanna and Sakura rerun announced
expected but i'll add that
I live in the NYC area
so I hope I see the Doro float going into the city
i'm actually pretty interested in the favorite items
tove is already used in one comp for shotguns, hopefully the favorite item removes her shitty RNG
the other 3 are pretty garbage nikkes though
so happy for the Poli favorite item
Bay too but I'm still tryna pull her
bay is good in PvP but not "meta", makes me wonder if she'll become a PvP goat sorta like helm did
julia was probably the most forgotten nikke until now lol, idek what her kit does truthfully
poli item is blessed
apparently she does crit buffing
Hard Pity didn't even get me Miriam. 😭
ugh i hope we get some details on what rapihood's poll costume will be
by this time last year we had already voted on red hood's costume
we'll probably get the three options within a month or so
I mean you shouldnt be pulling on these banners anyway
Miriam is going to standard
who am i kidding it's gonna be a party dress
swimsuit or party dress... quite the conundrum
more like
wedding dress
that would kill me
although personally I'm hoping for something more like hangout-wear
I have this strange hope for a cowgirl outfit

but it'll probably end up being a wedding dress, party dress, Red Hood outfit, or Commander's shirt
regardless, deciding whether or not to buy this rapihood gacha costume may drive me insane
what's this about
you know
the doro float they're gonna put in the Hudson as part of their marketing
ten meters tall
did you watch the announcement video
nope

that costume never really did much for me tbh
then again i don't really like viper
I think the artstyle for summer viper doesn't jive with me
not gonna be my first summer rerun pull target
it gave us this meme tho
absolute shocked pikachu energy
man i say this but am i really going to be able to deny skimpy swimsuit rapi with a translucent overshirt (nikke understands the power of the translucent tease) and a ponytail (oh god it's peak)
the flash peek is so peak
i've already lost

they're definitely playing with our hearts and wallets by releasing this rapihood gacha skin before any hint as to what what her popularity poll costume might be
so long as we get details before the end of her gacha costume running though, i'll be content
i will hold out at least until we know what the poll options are
because as peak as this skin is, if it's a choice between $60 for it or waiting for a free alternative that's just as good or better, i must resist
understated aspect of her design is the red hood wolf ears hair clip with the ponytail
the ponytail is stunlocking me, between this and the recent moran pass skin i'm discovering i am a sucker for a good ponytail with bangs design
judging from the fact that nearly every post on the nikke sub is about the rapihood gacha skin and its animation previews... i'm thinking shift up just activated the money printer
just to go back to this for dorothy skin
for point of comparison
this is how they announced her banner, "limited pick up recruit"
and this was what they do for pilgrims, e.g. little mermaid here -- "pilgrim pick up recruit"
so i'm thinking despite being a pilgrim, she will be a 2% banner
of course, this is the first limited pilgrim so we have no actual precedent
but i think they would've said it was a "limited pilgrim pick up recruit" if they intended to make it 1%
Woe, 0.1% upon ye
elegg doesn't have a missilis icon in the middle of hers, for contrast
Hmmmmm
100% expected, this was very clearly where the game was going lol
not dorothy specifically, but seasonal pilgrim
see my above cope for 2%
if it's a 2% banner then it doesn't really mean much of anything
i'm 100% expecting it to be 1%
2% is cope, sadly
also gacha skins are a scam, so that rapi skin is pure evil
did they say when everything's supposed to start?
new global site (it loads slow as fuck) and looks like they're starting to do gift codes
https://arknights.global/gift, code KSNPQ7P2ACUYJRCZ
chip catalyst my beloved
azur lane up, time to start devving the new elf wife
ngl sometimes gfl2 really does read like MTL lol
limbus company influence extends everywhere 
based and elf pilled
(says i, noted and self-proclaimed sucker for elves)
I think it might be a mix of both
Considering how popular Sleepo Beepo is as a nickname for Mechty in the community
yeah they definitely have human eyes on it too
also the unfortunate truth is that in general i think eastern VN-style writing ends up looking like MTL when translated literally
just noticed that she has the same hair colour too 
This looks in character I think
pog
First AF is a bit complicated but should be long enough to pull it off. Izuna must not do over 1.38B on turn 1 or clear will fail.
Boss stacks -9999 on DPS that does over 1.38B for it's first HP bar, so you need 2 DPS here.
Main RNG is Laikas and Pandora can giving extra charges, will need 5 charges by turn 4 to do this. Also possible to use K...
oh cool, this flaming asshole of a fight is back
you'd think a boss weak to all elements would be trivial, but it's pretty mechanically annoying
and the shadow version made it an hp sponge lol
gonna have to run it sometime tho
This tome is unlocked from doing Senya Mythos Epilogue. This boss has over 300% resistance, so you will need very high res shred to do damage to it.
Or you can stall and wait for the resistance to go away. Zones are not allowed here.Boss doesn't hit too hard so should be fine to stall.
If your Senya is lower shadow, just stall a bit more and w...
this one's a lot easier but showcases how good kid is
my own clear will probably use aldo somewhere in here instead; akane is sadly required
I'm fucking crying at a new meme in the JP Fate/HSR fandom.
So because Aventurine is Archer's Master, they're calling him 「アベンチュ凛」(AventuRIN) using the kanji for Rin's name at the end to spell his name, instead fully katakana like アベンチュリン 😂💀
be me, long time another eden player
see whispers of time (free roll event) is live
do my first single freebie, expect nothing from whispers of salt
gold gate
so yeah shanie's the first old character with an sa that i've managed to sa through pulls instead of buying her starcharts
3* MoC 
All it took is for Tingyun to be sacrificed
(She tanked too many Hoolay hits)
for reference, if you have a character who gets an sa while already in the game at 5 star, you get one starchart for them (you need 3)
if you pull them at 5 star in other banners, you get one of their starcharts
in short i've pulled her at 5 star twice since her stellar awakening, off rate up bc she's an old character
idfk anymore
not complaining; while shanie sa is not the greatest character, she's workable
also she's 100% in this category
But umamusume twitter, it is july 10th
Doing maffs to win the race
i thought of this earlier and forgot to mention, but i'm pretty sure this nikke summer event is the first where the timeline is far enough along that we get RRH instead of base rapi
you would be correct
well, other than footstep walk run itself but that was sort of a necessity lol
i was excluding her introductory event for obvious reasons
It slipped my mind that event is framed in the context of Rapi explaining her transformation after the big battle
they want that money huh
they gave rapi an incredible skin in the costume gacha
that alone should tell you they want that money
yeah judging from the community reaction to that rapi skin
they've successfully rolled out the money printer
they know they're competing against their own free skin
now i hope her freebie skin can match up
i really hope we at least get an inkling of what the options are before this summer event runs out
it'd be diabolical if they delay the poll until after the gacha skin runs
pretty sure the red hood skin poll was already done by this time last year
to be fair
they've clearly had a bunch of delays in their flow
between getting nikke CN launched, then the backlash of that likely causing them to scramble to port some of the CN features to global, and then getting the stellar blade collab out the door (which they definitely spared no expense on, but it was a major hit so time well spent), and then having to get summer stuff ready
yeah they've had quite a crazy last few months
oh and ofc 2.5 anni was right before all of that too lol
which, looking back, was on the weaker side for their anni events
though it's really hard to top old tales, red ash, and overzone
last kingdom and unbreakable sphere aren't bad but they weren't peak like those 3 either
can't wait for that pinne depresso in my sexy bikini women game
is the hsr fsn collab tomorrow
I have to wonder
is this the event where Doro overcomes her trauma
surely it's too early
definitely not, they're cooking up way too much with her in the main story atm
she's not gonna overcome her trauma in a random offshoot summer event ft. spooky ghosts and then on a dime return to the main story as a reformed hero lol
would be some major whiplash
however i'm sure there will be some trauma processing
these events seem to be 80% fanservice and 20% character development which is fun since the main conceit is just getting hot women in bikinis, leave it to nikke to turn that into character dev
last year had development for sakura, viper, and rosanna
the year before was helm and pepper/mary-focused
guess this event will be doro and tbh probably rapi if she's getting as bold as her skin implies
you just reminded me
oh, guilty and maiden too. random bromance i didn't expect
doro reaction to RRH... existing
oh true
and RH being gone-gone
until SU write a way to bring her back at the eleventh hour
bet on it, since latest story spoilers ||ziz and levi found her old two-core body that got left behind when she was decapitated by grave digger in an early chapter||
ez
as promised, used aldo instead of senya in the fight
wanted to use shigure instead of milla but the stupid turtle had 150% resistances instead of 100%
My brain saw Haikyu for a second there too lol
i'm just now reading the PR8 ship skills since ofc the datamine was MTL'd and spruced up a bit, but the game has the official translations now
unsurprisingly mecklenburg's damage buffs are not as free as the initial datamine implied they were, 8% of it only applies to her and 5% only applies if the enemy is being succed (by a bzwei-like effect i assume)
i actually think kansas's barrage ability is very interesting and i wish more ships did novel things like that (in kansas's case, buffing slow gun usage)
unfortunately syncing main fleet attacks with one another is too important so gimmicks like that end up not working
does make me wonder how hard kansas can go with yamato gun though lmao
i wonder what the details on leeuw's bombing raids are, her skill just says they "periodically become available" lol
also affects how useful she is for AA, since her stacking AA buffs only apply on her 2nd and 3rd bombing raids, so if they take too long then they might not be as useful for late campaign mobbing
cuniberti and donskoi seem kinda whatever, cuniberti seems she might be nutty for TRP spam comps but idk, and donskoi doesn't jump out at me in any way other than her defensive skill seems like it'd be really good for pvp
in her battle simulation, it looked like another button option on the bottom right
since it's battle sim, idk if the cooldown is accurate
it's never representative, particularly for backliners, bc they make the cooldown much faster
but it's there
anyway, rapi gacha skin is gonna be the death of me
but i'll probably have to pass
it will be the test of a lifetime for me
her free skin better hold up to it
if i didn't know a free skin of hopefully similar quality was on the horizon, it'd be an autobuy
my decision about whether to buy it will probably be based on the details they release about the poll skin between now and when this gacha skin ends, in a few weeks
hopefully they give us any details between now and then, since like i said, it'd be diabolical to keep the poll skin details under wraps to sell more of the gacha skin in the meantime
oh yeah also the +20 base synchro slots is blessed
just remembered that was a thing they're eventually adding
but i def need them
man why does like every gouden leeuw art have to be so lewd i would feel awkward posting it here
(it's mainly her clothes i think)
uhh yeah it's because her base design is that lewd lmao
wouldn't have been out of place as a skin imo
aaaanyway
kansas is apparently our first mgm+3 bb
but at only 115% efficiency to compensate
also if the spreadsheet is any indication, leeuw has a hidden effect that gives her 700 avi at mlb, tho idk how much it'll help her airstrike damage
anyway, she looks pretty reasonably tanky, can use some cb guns (presumably just the 283s), and has planes
man i hope she's good
