Essentially
First station is just rupture gaming because maost is good enough to 9 turn that shit without ego
Second station is some insane fell bullet/tear of the tarnished blood stuff now that youve gathered enough resources
And third station is a combination of both

now to push hard campaign again, as far as i can go
unfortunately i do not have a power advantage unlike story chapters 39-40, so i can't just quick battle all the way to the end

rapid bough
why is grace even in that team lol
wispy goblet
i respect you finding comfort in a team that uses two of the worst units in the ...
I'll try the team with Manato if I get the chance if he's a Fire Spook Shack (even without leaks, surely he is)
rapid bough
she's like exclusively a mono-electric character with maybe a niche in disorder if you don't have better options
that team is neither
wispy goblet
The original conceit of the team is that you use Yuzuha to accelerate Ben's Fire anomaly build
so you can turn on Inferno Metal's crit bonus
Inferno Metal + Ben bonus passive is an additional 44% Crit Rate 
apparently Ben's most damaging build with Yuzuha is actually an AP build and not a crit build but we're not talking about that right now
Now, in order for the team's core idea to work, both Yuzuha and Ben's bonus passives must be on. There are four possible combinations
- Belobog Anomaly (Grace)
- Fire Anomaly (Burnice)
- Fire Spook Shack (Manato)
- Belobog Spook Shack (Impossible?)
rapid bough
doesn't that make grace even worse since if she triggers disorder you lose inferno metal's bonus
wispy goblet
you'd think so
but you have eight seconds to inflict Burning again
which shouldn't be an issue with Yuzuha
And the additional disorder damage is welcome since Ben is... not the most proactive damage outputer-er.
Currently, the only one of the four (three?) possible options I have right now is Grace
And tbh, I feel like if I put in a Fire unit in the third slot, it kinda defeats the conceit of the team. Like, the point is to have Yuzuha accelerate Ben's Fire build. If I put another Fire unit on... kinda redundant to have Yuzuha specifically. Astra would probably be a better fit in that kind of team.
rapid bough
at that point why not just play double support tbh
rapid bough
surely the best ben team comp uses lighter because that's how every non-anomaly fire agent is
and lighter needs his team buff so i imagine the only viable 3rd option with him is lucy
wispy goblet
smh yes if I was going to be a meta sheep that's what I would play
I'm indulging my inner Johnny with this team
rapid bough
i utterly reject the notion that you'd be succumbing to being a meta sheep by using lighter and lucy with fucking BEN
you are fundamentally off-meta the moment you decide to use ben as a primary DPS
wispy goblet
I'm joking
I use full Yunkui and Mostly Ice
I don't have a problem with being meta
but I am being deliberately Johnny hipster with this team
rapid bough
he says, using yuzuha 
wispy goblet
yo Ben/Anton/Astra tho?
(that team sounds awful to play)
rapid bough
going deliberately johnny with ben and not using koleda when they're the only pair in the game with paired animations feels like an L
wispy goblet
hmm
Ben/Orphie/Astra
I should go over the Orphie kit leaks again
she's got this... off-field thing going, right?
rapid bough
i need you to understand that is not a johnny hipster team anymore lol
that's just ben ft. goodstuff like ben/lighter/lucy would be
wispy goblet
tbh I don't think it would be a good fit anyway
rapid bough
also pretty sure orphie is quite good both on-field and off, but obviously she has the flexibility to do both
wispy goblet
Ben's kinda bad as an always-on on-fielder
he needs someone he can quickswap to
and then Astra's quick assists muddy the math there too
oh allegedly Orphie just needs a Stun or Support to turn on her bonus passive
anyway leakers hurry up and reveal manato kit so I can theorycraft some more

Finished 3.5 story
||Lygus can't stop yapping for the life of him; the addition of Hysilens' backstory felt really weird in pacing - I really think it would have been better as a character quest, the whole 3.5 story just grinds to a halt after a huge emotional plot twist because of it||
||but the new map was a fantastic idea, completely caught me by surprise when in retrospect I should've seen it coming. And the Lygus boss fight was... Well, almost too easy with e1 Archer lol. But an enjoyable change of pace at the very least||
To be clear, I'm saying I liked it lol

hope you got your stuff ready
(tho this one's the easiest of the four imo)
in order of difficulty it should be something like 3 > 2 > 4 > 1, from hardest to easiest to min turn (while killing all enemies) imo
allowing for not killing all enemies, 3 > 4 > 1 > 2
i won't spoil the mechanics for the other three fights but this first one is clearly meant to be an introduction to the concept
flare marie ||most of the first 4 waves are aoe, but all waves from 5-10 are single target; none of the mechanics are too complicated and really, if you can access this fight in the first place, you should be able to handle it pretty well||

didn't get as lucky on emma banner, got spooked by frima on the first 10 pull and laplace on the second tho, which is MLB for both so i guess we take those

no, anis is clearly going to be either the 3rd anni or new year's unit (honestly my guess is new year's, like rapi was last year)
and neon isn't far enough along in her storyline to be getting an overspec
we still know almost nothing about her or her past lol
i do appreciate the recent chapters focusing on her more tho, she was the afterthought of the counters but she shined in several moments in 39-40

||Of course she acts all smart and wise when she's not with the other Counters||

BEEP BOOP FUCK THE COLLAB

targeted for Early September
- one-tap continuous breakthroughs
- one-tap research
- one-tap ark rewards claiming
targeted for Late September
- automatically challenge next level of Tribe Tower
- lowered conditions for Buff Chain levels in Sim Tower
- clearer display of combat power and buff statuses within a stage
- default Tuner + non-Tuner slot increase from 5 to 25, auto Nikke allocation, removal of cooldown time, "convenience features upgrade," automatically spend required consumables, free level reset
- more descriptive weapon descriptions and visuals
- new molds with guaranteed SSRs
- High-Quality Access Records give an SSR Nikke or materials for the HQ Perfect Mold upon consumption
- HQ Perfect Mold gives a guaranteed SSR Nikke
- Manufacturerers also have their own specific super molds
- Manufacturerer Perfect Molds will be given as part of their tribe tower, on top of existing rewards. Players will receive a one-time instant PM injection based on levels already cleared.
- HQ Access Records will replace the current molds given in recurring content "such as the General Shop, Body Label Shop, Dispatch Missions, weekly rewards, and story event challenge first-clear rewards." (So basically no functional change for us.)
- One-time content such as Campaign, Infrastructure Core, and the Day by Day event will still give molds.
- Existing molds will not change.
(So quit banking them.) - Co-op will more clearly show super-effective Nikkes during character select
- lock consumable items to prevent them from being used (specifically mentioned to be for anniversary/commemorative items)
- RRH Costume design vote starts August 17 (that's tomorrow!), outfit release targeted mid-October
- In the teaser image, the outfits are ||sleepwear, the commander uniform, and an RH outfit||
- surface content still being worked on, looks kinda like Civ combat, there's a video in the thread
- Bunny Girl event in September, including a costume rerun (Mary, Viper, Folkwang; Rupee specifically mentioned not happening at this time)
RRH Costume Teaser Image
less Civ than I originally thought
looks like an RTS
although all we see is the tactics part
so maybe it's real-time tactics

surprised there's no party dress choice but i guess they wanted to break free from having that as an option on every one of these lol

Is there a possibility the sleepwear and commander outfit split the vote and the red hood outfit wins?

iirc the last polls had the winning costume beat the others in a landslide so i highly doubt it
also, belated comment but the bunny event was expected since we know the september mission pass exia bunny costume
i've seen comments around theorizing that ade will be one of the bunny alts since her JP VA is an upcoming guest on nikke radio, which apparently has a high correlation with an imminent release (anchor before her maid alt, mihara before 2.5 anni, elegg before summer are recent examples)
without even knowing her burst animation or game power i am fairly sure bunny ade will be an MLB candidate for me

The children know nothing of bad rates
CHINESE SHARD BASED SYSTEMS GO
rapid bough
i know it's hard to do so, but i wish gacha discourse would move on from talking about rates in a vacuum
rates always exist within the context of the game's currency allocation
if the rates are great but the game is very stingy with giving you pulls then that can suck ass, just like awful rates with lots of pulls can feel fine
long tree
This is true, even if you guaranteed a featured every time you did a single pull, if the game doesnt give you the pull it doesnt matter
late canopy
Of the games I've played thus far, unless they changed it since I last played, the most terrifying is Dragonball Legends
Specifically the Ultras

"awful rates with lots of pulls" describes hoyo games for me btw
though hoyo's pity system is really what holds their entire gacha model together

Hoyo's system is legit super good for f2p players
If you're only ever going after one or two copies it makes getting the thing you want very easy to plan for

Its not the best ive experienced but its fair enough to where you can easily get what you want if you work for it

yeah hoyo is like the true neutral of gacha systems to me, and i feel like the industry agrees since so many games are adopting it

It's a single pull that costs 70 pulls worth of currency
And the spark is 2 pulls

So it felt like you could get everything just by pulling

AL is definitely very generous but it introduces another angle to evaluating gacha that's worth considering too
which is the frequency of character releases
it hands out tons of pulls and has high rates, but it also releases up to dozens of characters in a short time frame

Oh right speaking of rates of getting currency vs character release schedules, p5x on global is fixing theirs finally
It'll still be on an accelerated schedule but increase the amount of currency to compensate

my first gacha was nikke and to this day i think it has my favorite gacha system
overall good balance of rates, character releases, and pity

old galleon
dupes don't matter for character power
technically not completely true due to favorite items
slow raft
No weapons, no artifacts, no dupes, you can just buy everything with ingame currency you earn from dailies/weeklies instead of rolling
The only exception to the buy everything is with the limited banner where youd have to wait for the next limited banner to buy them but hey. Simply save up currency for that, thats what pity is for

ok wait i lied
brown dust 2 is probably my favorite, and overall the most generous game i've played
it doesn't do anything fancy with its system, it just hands out pulls like candy and has a 3% rate to boot
old galleon
bd2's generosity is balanced out by needing dupes for core supports
still could be worse tho
rapid bough
yeah it has weapon banners and dupes can be very important which is a bummer
but the game is legitimately so generous i've never had an issue with it
fun fact: i've never once used dia to pull in BD2 because the game gives out so many free pull vouchers that i never run out, even after dropping hundreds on a unit
for quite a while i had pulled everything i wanted, including max duped characters and weapons, without spending a dime and having plenty of pulls leftover
and i'm still doing that, but i have actually spent a dime on the game now
since there was that anni package that remains the single most insane gacha cash shop package i have ever seen
100 pulls and months worth of character leveling materials for like $7
that shit would've been $100+ in any other gacha game

i need an edit of the gordon ramsay "lamb sauce L O C A T E D" except it's anby with "burger L O C A T E D" instead

yeah this team is a lot of fun to spend battery on. i wonder if m2 on jane and alice will tip things in a crazy direction
wispy goblet
M2 on Alice and Jane is where the synergies really kick in, from what I understand
slow raft
her kit seems p decent
slow raft
and since miss crane is also on her banner thats one summer banner ill have to pull on for sure
old galleon
she's effectively van gogh 2.0 and van gogh is already incredible
and you only need her at np1
higher np levels scale her card buffs and debuff res on her np but the numbers on them are fine even at np1
slow raft
and you only need her at np1
thats true for all servants
old galleon
only technically
a lot of the damage dealers really wnat np2 or higher nowadays
blame 90++ and friends
but it gets really hard to hit certain benchmarks at only np1
runic ether
M2 on Alice and Jane is where the synergies really kick in, from what I understa...
nah the synergy is alive even m0 the difference m2 does for them is that it skyrockets them to a full whale team of m6 characters
old galleon
ofc you can compensate with welfares and such
s jalter, valk, iyo are all some examples of ones i've used in 90++ to decent effect
slow raft
yeah ive never really felt the need to np2 a servant
but i dont really pull for gameplay in the first place so
old galleon
tbh i'll probably end up pulling tiamat for gameplay
her summer design didn't appeal to me too much (tho her final ascension art is...soemthing)
but her kit looks far too valuable to pass up, esp once archer grand duel hits
like the list of viable support archers i have is literally just santa nightingale
chiron if you really stretch it
and maybe santa attila
tiamat clears all of them in her kit
even if supporting a buster attacker
at the rate i'm going, i'll either grand ishtar or magoichi
and both of them would greatly appreciate tiamat's crit buff

my alice looks kinda weird

Still havent gotten my target in any of the 3 gachas I play 😔
Hysilens should at least be guaranteed tho

maybe gods are being nice and give me m2 alice before banner runs out

s.tiamat is kinda busted
even if you don’t get the cards you want she can effectively become a dps with her np

Continuing to catch up with my Hard Mode campaign progress
rapid bough
i actually just finished that earlier today lol
was stuck on hard mother whale (c21 end) for a while
finally went back and beat that, then progressed all the way through the end of c24
old galleon
oh yeah you're way behind on hard mode
rapid bough
damn you were really slacking
wispy goblet
smh clicking around the map is immensely taxing
rapid bough
damn the new surface RTS mode gonna be brutal for you then
wispy goblet
hey I enjoy RTS
...I'm no good at micro, but that's neither here nor there.
I actually should work through my Lost Sector
I've advanced enough to be able to unlock the Vigor Cube
I can also finally get that Quantum Cube for PVP
rapid bough
lol you were really slacking there too huh
isn't quantum cube like lost sector 12 or something

flare marie gauntlet should drop after maintenance
reward is a lot of bond and ||one of four pieces needed to be able to grand beasts||

as if olga doesn't have two effects per skill : ^)

there's the comps i used if y'all want any inspiration
in wave 8, cinderelly is holding valentine witches for ignore invincible; make sure she or whoever you use has a way to ignore evasion
also in wave 6 i got bad luck and had koyami resist my fair soldier so i couldn't get even more oc for carmilla; it ended up being barely enough
wave 5 is probably not possible for most to replicate since my eresh is np5 but any decent st attacker should do the trick
wave 4, ishtar did a lot less damage than i expected but tlaloc was able to clean up (she's np5 so ymmv)
rest of the waves are pretty standard; i originally planned to use s ibuki wave 1 but she did nowhere near enough damage to clean up bc she's only np1
but since drake and habetrot killed the casters i could bring a single target instead
as for other ce choices, most of the attackers are holding some 50% ce to charge faster
kama has bg
habetrot has royal icing
siegfried has inverted rain of mud
okki has devilish bodhisattva
eresh has heaven's feel bc bg is occupied
martha has dragon's meridian bc i use her np too
as for the flare marie fight itself, kama was way overkill esp with the support i had
hell, i ended up being able to card bar 3 lmao
i brought the arctic mystic code but depending on your needs, you can bring a bunch of different stuff
atlas institute is good, new summer mystic code is good, anniversary blonde is good
etc
toxic cloud

I dont have Castorice so no
I am debating if I should save in WuWa tho
I dont think I can guarantee Brants weapon (not that he needs it) and I can probably try and guarantee Galbrena + her weapon if I save

I dont think I can guarantee Brants weapon (not that he needs it) and I can prob...
If he don't need it then skipp.it
