The user who leaked Shunguang’s white hair form has said the following about Angels of Delusion:
︀︀
︀︀* Three will be spread across 2.6 - 2.7. Implying they’re all S-Ranks.
︀︀
︀︀* There will be roughly 5+ PVs for the Angels. Meaning they are likely heavily marketed.
︀︀
︀︀* The Angels seemingly will be actual VTubers.

︀︀Thanks to Professional-Bee1654 for the info!

Previously, there was a Tieba user who leaked info about Ye Shunguang's several forms, including the date-type form and the white hair ult form.

Now, there's new info from them about AoD:

A lot of PVs for AoD are prepared, so a lot of marketing underway
Expected to be released throughout 2.6 - 2.7 (2 in 2.6, 1 in 2.7)
AoD's theme is VTuber-style
Dev team seems to have invited many VTubers to take part
AoD seem to be all actual VTubers
Tieba user mentioned a misunderstanding about how AoD's VTuber concept in the game is a collaboration project— it isn't, the members are the VTubers themselves

the KAMPFER!?

#

wow no one expected that

#

we wouldve expected the zaku 2 kai or the alex

#

also rau with flay ship, how devious

rapid bough
#

i'm honestly considering getting her v6 during this "choose your own rate-up" banner for anni

#

but i'm also saving for helen v6

#

and without knowing when she'll be, hard to go all-in

#

i have 500 pulls saved between my vouchers+collapse pieces and doritos so i could almost certainly get klukai v6

#

but i'd probably be left with very little afterward

#

it took me nearly 400 pulls to go from v1r1 to v6r1 springfield

#

and i'd need an extra dupe + sig weapon to max klukai

#

tough decisions

in other news, finished ZZZ story

thoughts TL;DR is that it was aight, some parts i liked and some parts fell flat, wall of text ahead hot off the presses:

  • ||i liked banyue's story and the setup they did for dialyn's. however i think dialyn dropping her big lore bomb and mother of all guilt-trips on banyue about halfway through right before the feel-good feast was nasty work. that shit was stone cold and made the later "i knew you were a good person dialyn!" line ring a bit hollow because that was straight up psychopath behavior. i get she was struggling with where her own "judge" moral compass was pointing her as well and was looking to force answers but that was not very cash money of her, to put it mildly||
  • ||i appreciated there was a lot of casual moments with shunguang and not just "let's get down to business to save waifei" all the time. ofc they made it easier to like shunguang but also made the ultimate reveal that the qingming sword has been affecting her, even sheathed, and she is losing her memories hit harder. given we've seen her gameplay regularly show her transform to qingming mode, and i doubt they'd let that slide if canonically she was slowly killing herself to do so, i have to assume next patch will have us save her from the sword's effects once and for all, especially since it's hinted shiyuan is trying to save her from more than just that||
  • ||good riddance to sarah for now. i am so over her as a villain, that little bit this chapter where dialyn basically confirms sarah's been manipulating the events of this whole chapter made me roll my eyes. it's neat they've started to hint at a bit of sarah's past which is why i'm certain she'll be back, and i could maybe get invested if they make her into more than just a "just according to keikaku" fanatic, but i'll welcome the break from her chuuni-esque bullshit, especially since this chapter provided the angle that she herself is a pawn/being manipulated lol||
  • ||i'm pretty whatever about ye shiyuan atm. obviously he was stupid for trusting sarah, but i appreciate that he wasn't actually evil or even meaningfully corrupted, and they're obviously not done with him yet. dude is guaranteed to be a future playable, especially with his edgier redesign, but i'll need to see more from him to buy in to him joining the main cast. i think it's pretty obvious based on the missing voicelines that a lot of the rewrite(s) involved his role in this chapter, so maybe they initially intended to kill him off but decided to keep him around and thus had to patch together breadcrumbs for how he'd come out the other side as a future playable and not our enemy ||
runic ether
#

personally, ||i really enjoyed how cold krampus has felt so far. its been pretty refreshing to me. but i dont like that they showed us the shunguang thing... bit too much on the telling rather than showing. would have hit way harder if next patch, she'd forgotten our names.||

rapid bough
#

||i think the way they did it was more telling than showing for sure but i definitely don't expect them to be brave enough to hit us with the "she forgot the proxies and yunkui" so honestly i saw this coming lmao||

#

||and fwiw i agree that krampus feeling like cold, calculating "ends justify the means"-types has been refreshing, i just didn't like that the game tried to whitewash away dialyn acting like a fucking psycho just because she ended up doing the right thing||

#

||she was hitting us with the "don't worry i won't tell shunguang!" and i was thinking to myself "bitch my jaw is on the floor from you dropping it on banyue in the first place wtf do i care about shunguang right now"||

runic ether
#

oh absolutely

#

||but again, really like this characterization of banyue, zhao, and dialyn quite a lot.||

rapid bough
runic ether
#

||yeah i dont trust them for that. even if it would be peak angst and make me like shunguang honestly. honestly didnt mind her but i did think banyue and dialyn (zhao a bit) were a lot more interesting. same with shiyuan to an extent.||

rapid bough
#

||agree banyue and dialyn were the character highlights of this chapter, even if i think there was a narrative disconnect between dialyn's actions and how they were treated in-universe. obv this is dialyn/banyue's release patch so i think they did well while also building shunguang for what i hope will be a compelling chapter for her next time, right now she's cute and likable but a bit generic "strong magical girl who doesn't afraid of anything and is good at everything"||

wispy goblet
#

I don't think the implication is ||that the sword has been affecting Ye Shaggy Ultra Instinct even while sheathed. I think the implication is that she's been using the sword without telling Yixuan, and covering up her memory loss by writing everything down.||

#

Also recontextualizes ||her asking us if we've met before the first time we meet.||

rapid bough
#

||the line about the sword shimmering in its sheathe during the "last supper" halfway through the story would disagree with that, since that's exactly what she forgot and the sword was sheathed||

wispy goblet
#

||Sarah's chances of being playable continue to increase....||

rapid bough
#

||abso-fucking-lutely not||

wispy goblet
#

I didn't catch it the first time, but ||the silhouette of the guy that sees Sarah and leaves her matches the silhouette of one of the void hunters.||

rapid bough
#

||which one since whoever figured that out had to be digging deep for that shit||

wispy goblet
#

||It's actually pretty on-the-nose once you see them side-by-side. Lemme see if I can grab a comparison image.||

#

||Name was "Coronel Dan" if my source is correct. Was one of the VHs that pushed back "The Wall" or something.||

rapid bough
#

||considering records of the squad she was in were erased as soon as they were believed dead, gotta wonder wtf they were up to that a VH would've been "in on" their deaths... not an accident eh||

wispy goblet
#

||we know that Isolde's squad was sent to die to protect TOPS' interests||

#

||so it's nothing new for the government||

rapid bough
#

||that was primarily lead by an overambitious and greedy CO though (hence isolde targeting whatshisface specifically)... getting a VH in on it is a bigger deal||

runic ether
#

||yeah i have a feeling... that professor arche had turned a few void hunters to the side of the hollows, and maybe is the creator himself.||

wispy goblet
#

||I imagine the next arc will shift more towards political intrigue once the protagonists learn about Sarah's erased past. Would line up with what the writer guy said about where they're moving to in S3.||

runic ether
#

||i kinda hope they dont go too serious. a big draw of zzz for me is that the stakes are significantly lower than genshin or hsr||

rapid bough
#

||honestly? good. exaltists have worn thin big time||

wispy goblet
#

||They've gone and explicitly said that the Exalists are just splinters now that Isolde is gone. I don't know if that's a pivot or if that's always been the plan, but if we get more Creator-related story beats, it's not going to be through the Exalist cult.||

runic ether
#

||tho leaving behind the whole exaltists for a good while def would help||

rapid bough
wispy goblet
#

||To be honest, it's kind of a shame that our primary antagonist group this whole time has been lead the past few years (at least) by someone who wasn't even a true believer. They could have made something interesting out of that angle, but they didn't.||

#

||I hope they don't drop the story beats Lucia introduced about co-existing with the Hollow and the Hollow/Ethereals being more than just brainless zombie antagonists.||

rapid bough
#

||if anything that reinforces the pivot; it's entirely plausible that mevorakh was meant to be a real believer on the level of sarah, but the shift toward more political intrigue took them down the "isolde fighting The Man" route||

#

||shame that the obol patch as a whole sorta fell flat; there was a good story there but it didn't have the necessary buildup||

#

||obviously we don't know what's going on inside the writer's room but a lot of how the 2.x story has gone could be explained pretty well by a series of late pivots lol||

rapid bough
wispy goblet
#

||As someone who was actually pretty into the Exaltist story, I hope whatever they're moving into now will grab my interest as well.||

there's some pretty wild powercreep expected from some upcoming dolls

helen v6 for ice is on the level of klukai v6 for corrosion, springfield v6 for hydro, leva v6 for electric

#

incidentally re: corrosion, lind v6 is also insanely strong and arguably on klukai's level which is wild. shame we don't have any v6s in our platoon

could definitely improve marionette and thrall by learning rotations, but i'm increasingly cooked on fiend without alice lol

#

this was basically my first time ever playing yixuan+dialyn in a prolonged fight, and it wasn't even a fight i knew

#

definitely not familiar with correct rotations for making that work best

#

and it's just been 5 millennia since i last played astra/miyabi/yanagi

yanagi isn't even good against marionette, but i needed to save vivi for fiend

not even a full 10 pull lol

I just wished they put more events

#

These patches are as dry as a desert

runic ether
#

you'll have one event per season and you'll like it

summer hornet
#

We did literally just get Currency Wars lmao

digital marlin
#

Currency wars is great but if we are relying on that to carrying through 3.8 dryness

runic ether
#

only for them to split it with divergent universe

#

instead of resetting both

#

and if u dont like auto chess? tough

#

its me i dont like auto chess

summer hornet
#

Lmfaoooo

#

But fair

#

It is true that they could’ve added more stuff to the second half of 3.8

runic ether
#

patches have been dry arguably since 3.2

#

they've had way too long to do something about it

summer hornet
#

They’ve had tons of content, but it’s all in the story. That’s too long for its own good

#

Or in these huge expansive alternate battle modes with ridiculous high end scaling

#

Sorry. I’m being pedantic, ig, but I don’t fully disagree

digital marlin
#

Most of the content we gets done in 3-4 days for me with reasonable spacing after that it just daily till next patch with the occasional resets to stuff like pure fiction

#

Patches going on for around 40 days means the game is the back burner for 3 weeks

summer hornet
#

It’s usually 3 days to a week for each new patch of story

#

For me

digital marlin
#

Story i usually get it done in a day

#

Some instances like 3.7 I go through it right after the patch drops

summer hornet
#

Dang

runic ether
#

yeah story takes a day at most 2 to finish

#

despite its length

#

even if the story has been pretty solid

#

it has had some meh moments/lulls despite the length

#

like 3.7's story to me was thoroughly mid

#

so theres no content and the story was just okay

summer hornet
#

yeah

#

I did legitimately zone out during the final section with Cyrene (||and Demiurge, going back in time together||)

digital marlin
#

Yeah the way they structured story sucks

runic ether
#

like the zenless zone zero story has been literally rather zzz (at least until this very latest patch and even then it wasnt amazing amazing) but it has a lot to do

digital marlin
#

In my opinion 3.5 -3.7 just felt like unnecessary padding to stretch the story til the end of the year

#

ZZZ I have some issues with it too but the event schedule is better

runic ether
#

3.5's story was decent... if it had some follow up

#

without any follow up, cerydra and hysilens felt like they could have been an email

digital marlin
#

3.5 biggest issue was coming right after 3.4

runic ether
#

flip their order in some capacity and they'd have worked better i think yeah

digital marlin
#

It feels like hitting a climax then having progress foced back multiple arcs

summer hornet
#

3.4 could have cut out the majority of child Phainon before he met Mydei in the city. And the puzzle during the Mydei part was absolutely unnecessary.
3.5 should’ve removed Hysilens’ backstory and made it a character quest
3.6 i have no real qualms with tbh. But i do agree that 3.5 and 3.6 could have theoretically been cut for the sake of time, just making 3.5 the final boss fight and keeping the cast smaller
3.7 could have cut the runtime leading up to the final boss in half- especially all the parts where each Chrysos Heir spent 5-10 minutes elaborating on assorted things and reestablishing themselves. Cyrene’s final part could have been cut entirely. And the bit with the farewell…. Let the animation do the talking

slow raft
rapid bough
#

how will ZZZ ruin my day this time

#

acceptable but unfortunately less CR than my current d1 (even though all the other stats are way better) so not optimal for dialyn

summer hornet
#

Ngl I expected her to be Sinking

#

Not half-bleed half-burn

slow raft
#

Thats good cause shes neither nyaruhodo

summer hornet
#

...So what is she then?

slow raft
#

A mid poise/pride res unit

#

The best part of her kit is arguably the skill 2, which buffs her teammated and allows one of them to use their skill 1 for free

#

You might recognize that gimmick, as it was refined later by a much better id

#

Also, fair warning: ahabmael has altered sanity mechanics

#

That suck

#

But hey, her quote in the ahab fight is kinda funny so yknow

summer hornet
#

Giving up gameplay for lore ig, tale as old as time

#

Also Mirror Dungeon no longer auto levels my units to 55 for free, since I've finished Canto 7 ig

slow raft
#

Ahabmael was genuinely useful for a while and contributed greatly to one of my railway runsy but idt shes aged well

runic ether
#

i use her for fun in md

#

she does work

#

but she kinda has no real place

#

man, she's jobless and homeless much like actual ahab prior to canto 5

#

and shes lowkey kind of a bum?

summer hornet
#

I was gonna say, she seems like she wants really specific team comps

#

Which means shorter windows but higher highs in those windows

mental acorn
#

so what I'm hearing is that the fault lies with pjm for not giving her an ideal team

summer hornet
#

The little sister paves the way for the Lord

#

i also kinda want m1 astra for eve team

#

oh well, next rerun maybe

wispy goblet
#

apparently they'll keep rerunning this woman

#

three patches to her first rerun
another four patches to her second

rapid bough
#

ASTRA YAO FOREVER 100 YEARS

wispy goblet
#

she is a nice generalist, Attack-leaning support
so makes sense she's rerunning with Ye Shunguang

#

and a good general pick up for new accounts

rapid bough
#

i'm pretty sure i saw some test comps implying she's still shunguang's BIS support lol, even over zhao

runic ether
runic ether
#

idk how they can fix her without them eating into their profit margins if shes free atp

#

which is extremely funny that the first s rank limited fully furry agent is so cooked much like banyue

#

(they are both very solid still)

#

part of me is glad we arent creeping supports

wispy goblet
rapid bough
#

we aren't creeping supports yet

runic ether
#

another is like damn did it have to be 2 of the interesting characters of 2.x?

rapid bough
#

astra the generalist, yuzuha for anomaly, lucia for rupture is nice for now

wispy goblet
#

also they just made Zhao harder to build so clearly they don't think she's underperforming

rapid bough
#

but it's gonna be hard to not creep them as we get more supports

runic ether
#

hmmm depends

wispy goblet
#

buffed her numbers a little

runic ether
#

of course, they can go hsr route and creep per patch

#

but its clear they havent at least not yet

digital marlin
#

They would just need more gimmicks they can have supports specialize in helping to avoid powercreep

#

Though not sure what kind da they can go for

runic ether
#

at least support-wise, if they keep specializing supports, they can keep this balance well

#

stun is cooked however

rapid bough
#

dialyn is the beginning of the end for stun

#

they just gave up on specializing her lol

runic ether
#

yep

rapid bough
#

she's so generically good

digital marlin
runic ether
#

comparable to lighter in his best teams its just over

#

that or we never get another stunner

wispy goblet
#

hold up

#

Additional Ability activation condition Attack, Anomaly or Rupture -> Attack, Anomaly, or Support
interesting Zhao change

runic ether
#

cus unless they make specialists, which need to be better than her in their niche, theres nothing there for them to make without them being duds

rapid bough
#

problem with making specialists is that they risk not selling lol

runic ether
#

genshin has been selling specialist and doing well as of late

rapid bough
#

easier to sell generic goodstuff than chars that are very good in a specific niche and won't be used otherwise

runic ether
#

tho u can argue its genshin

#

it was always gonna do well

rapid bough
#

uh yeah that would be my argument lol

#

genshin is several times the size of ZZZ

runic ether
#

but in comparison to genshin compared to itself

#

they have been selling a ton of specialists rn

#

and they have been doing p well compared to others

rapid bough
#

i feel like that's the way of things with games that have been going for a while, either lean into specialists more or embrace insane powercreep

runic ether
#

part of this can be due to genshin's recent meta considerations...? rewards specialized content heavily

rapid bough
#

nikke has been leaning into specialists a lot lately and seems no worse for it (i'd argue it's better tbh)

#

with ZZZ idk though

runic ether
#

you can be insane at playing mauvika and nefer and it wont matter if they make bosses that say "no mauvika no nefer"

rapid bough
#

they seem more willing to implement specialist boss mechanics than agents

runic ether
#

yeah which

#

i feel will help zzz

wispy goblet
#

ZZZ has a lot of foundational design issues
which to be fair
are usually foundational design issues in other gachas
but also

#

I'm predicting by the end of Season 4 we get a DA boss whose primary source of points won't be damage

runic ether
#

will instead be?

#

knowledge check?

rapid bough
#

evasive assists icant

wispy goblet
#

I've been spitballing a boss that gives points for damage taken and damage mitigated for months now

rapid bough
#

i honestly would'nt be surprised if they cook up some evasive assist rework rn because boss design has favored defensive assists so hard you could be forgiven for thinking they're treating evasive assists as a dead mechanic

wispy goblet
#

they're trying to find some other heuristic that players enjoy other than maximizing damage
which, bold move trying to do that in the mode that rewards score chasing based on damage and after cultivating a playerbase that wants exactly that
but I commend them for realizing that damage being the overwhelmingly dominant heuristic will be a balance and design dead end for them

#

they did some number shuffling on Ye Scooby Doo
first impressions seem to be that they're nerfs

#

event w-engine looks good for Rupture
an improvement over Puzzle Sphere at the very least

#

works very well with Yixuan and Banyue
probably okay on Yidhari, but she can use Manato Engine fine
not great for Manato but he has his own sig

On one hand Astra would be a big upgrade to my account

hes playable rn with the event and theorycrafters have been working on him

his best combos are to not combo. its a verh short string ignoring most of his other anims

there are conditional use cases for his other combos to squeeze more dps

he felt pretty fun to play, even while I was mostly freestyling (very badly)

do I skip Dialyn

that's up to you but one thing i can definitely say is that skipping dialyn to pull for astra sig would be nasty work

wispy goblet
#

not to get Astra sig

#

in general

#

if 2.5 gives about 170 pulls, I can pretty comfortably secure three pull targets

#

I ultimately decided tl get dialyn so now we pry for a miracle on the banyue banner

wispy goblet
#

if it gives closer to the normal patch average of 100 tho
I'm going to be making hard decisions

Anyway I guess I'll figure out my pulls when Banyues banner releases

wispy goblet
#

try him out in the event

runic ether
#

yeah give him a shot first

wispy goblet
#

I'm told that we are expecting SAnby to rerun first

#

I think, push comes to shove
I can skip Astra
she'd primarily replace Nicole or Pan
both of whom already feel quite comfy and I'm not in a rush for an upgrade for those teams yet
Dialyn and Ye Shunguang are more important to me right now

#

ok chat, i need opinions
not particularly interested in the reindeer so i've sharded everybody that i wanted to grab and there will be another ~282 crates obtained by end of season so i could get another thing or two

#

figure caposault is probably a Good Choice

#

how does thumb sinclair compare to heishou or dawn office

runic ether
#

hes more of a tremor guy than a burn guy but hes serviceable overall

#

if u are considering season 6 ids tho and u already have rooster sinclair

#

he does allow lord hong lu to apply burn (count iirc?) which can make him viable for burn

#

dawn office is a beast however

#

his flaw tho is how sp hungry he can be at times

#

granted, burn is the sp printing team

#

so i'd say if u are interested in tremor, you should get thumbclair

#

burn benefits but mostly a tremor id

#

if u want burn, if you are focused on the season 6 ids and already have rooster, i'd only consider dawn office next walp

#

also i think reindeer rodya is gonna be a standard id?

#

and also yeah caposault is just kinda busted

slow raft
#

Out the options shown, caposault is def at the top.
Personally id put t corp outis next and thumbclair after that, but thumbclair does have better synergy with him than t corp outis so thats more down to preference

runic ether
#

t corp outis is pretty good, but being a sidegrade to molar outis def makes it a bit harder to justify her if building tremor

slow raft
#

Oh i ddint know he had molar already

runic ether
#

hong lu!?

slow raft
#

Thats clearly dusk arknights

runic ether
# slow raft Oh i ddint know he had molar already

oh idk if he has molar. but even if not, with the season coming to a close, if he only has enough for 2 more ids, i'd grab the thumb ids before t corp outis since molar outis is more than good enough

slow raft
#

True

slow raft

wait lmao is that actually dusk arknights

nvm her eyes are red here

personally i fidn these games to be hardly comparable

The only thing they have in similar is tower defense

same with the A rank selector

can never have enough limited pull currency

old galleon
#

would still invest rrh and mihara first if you have them, but certainly usable

rapid bough
#

yeah RRH and mihara definitely clear diesel, but nice to have another strong option

#

wonder where brid will fall as a support, definitely seems more niche which is ironic considering her kit may be the simplest to be released in the last year or more

#

though she has to compete in the b2 space which has some insanely strong supports to measure up against

#

so less "niche" and more "no way she beats out the likes of crown and nayuta, and with no survivability boosts, where can she even fit for bossing"

old galleon
#

Got brid in 5 tickets

#

It's just that easy

rapid bough

oh right she releases today

time to gamba

20 pulls, just like diesel

somewhat tempted to MLB x.maiden but i'll make that call nearer to the end of her rerun

rapid bough
#

brid power hour on the surface (her alt has the +50% move speed ability)

#

one of the dumbest design oversights of the surface is that it currently maxes out at 39 squad members... so 1 short of 8 full squads

#

i have 5 elemental squads, 2 daily squads, and 1 support squad

#

that squad above ^ is one of my daily squads

#

tbh should probably cut the support squad down 1 instead, its last member is just a +5% ATK buff for nearby squads which is basically nothing

#

...maybe i cut the support squad entirely, it's only useful for the weekly bosses/wave encounters which i don't do since they're pointless during the surface beta

#

incidentally also true of the elemental squads but at least they can kill things in a pinch

damn ok brid

#

this was scope locked against shooting range wind boss

with no OL lines and 4/4/4 skills she did nearly as much damage as drake lmao

#

real question is whether she outperforms leona

#

doro also did 2x as much as drake lol

rapid bough
#

i'm sure her personal damage does, but is leona a better buffer? we're about to find out

rapid bough
old galleon
#

what being a modern pilgrim does to a mf

rapid bough
#

also drake's personal damage even with treasure isn't meant to be ridiculously high

#

since her buffs are insane too

#

about half a bil less with leona, literally everyone does less damage with her and ofc she herself does about half what brid does

#

so brid currently looking like top SG b2 against wind bosses, not a surprising result ig

#

it occurs to me i should use the free borrow brid since she's got 10/10/10 skills, probably more useful than the manufacturer gear + SR5 doll my version has

#

eh, made very little difference

#

now for my curiosity... bunny soda instead of a CDR unit

pretty confident this will be worse than CDR but i am a man of science

i stand corrected it is actually marginally better... bunny soda did more damage than drake despite not bursting wtf

It was about how the real Suzuka broke his leg

So... pretty bad, especially considering it breaks like 4 different rules in cygames' guidelines

long tree

Its also damaging to the company because those guidelines were made after horse owners walked when fans made gore of the horse girls

#

It also reinforces how performative peta are, umamusume has done a lot to help support old racing horses and making them popular enough to get overseas people to help raise funds for housing and food costs, as well as reinforcing their legacies and showing the world what the horses couldve been had they not suffered career or life ending injury or disease

do they commit to reruns like FGO or are they spotty with banners (if arknights has any like that)

mental acorn
#

Proper Event Banners with one rate up get rerun once, a year after initial release
but every nonlimited character goes into the standard headhunting pool so you can get spooked anywhere

every limited character goes into the limited pool and you can spark or get spooked by them during limited banners (twice a year)

Apparently new bready skin has like a diabetes kit on her leg

idle grove
#

yeah she also has a line about her blood sugar being low

glossy latch
#

Damn apparently Banyue is actually bad

#

Cant believe Hoyo would sabotage their coolest unit 😔

#

Almost debating if I should swing on Hugo instead, but from what I understand he isnt very good either

runic ether
#

hugo and banyue ask: do you have dialyn?

#

if so, they shoot up in ranking

#

if no, they shoot down in ranking

#

banyue also asks you for lucia but thats a given

#

hugo has f2p wengine options
banyue does not

#

they will both clear 20k in deadass

#

comfort levels do vary for them

glossy latch
#

I do not have Dialyn no

runic ether
#

without dialyn, you are def a bit cooked on banyue tho fufu is solid enough as well

glossy latch
#

I do not have Fufu either

runic ether
#

lycaon with mindscapes can eek out pre-m2 hugo

glossy latch
#

I have Lighter?

runic ether
#

lighter is needed for hugo

#

hugo/lighter/dialyn

#

one of those teams that at m2 hugo kind of skyrockets

glossy latch
#

I have Lighter and Lycaon?

runic ether
#

but as i said having mindscapes on lycaon can work

glossy latch
#

Idk how many mindscapes my Lycaon has though

#

But also I have an ice team already

runic ether
#

yeahhhh

#

yidhari faces this problem too

glossy latch
#

... even if my Miyabi is still on Nekomata WEngine

runic ether
#

miyabi does still clear them both from a dps perspective

#

and as for banyue, hes worse than yidhari but is harder to play

#

it isnt too bad overall

#

but it is notable

glossy latch
#

I guess Ill just pull for Banyue and hope for the best

runic ether
#

and then of course, if you have eve, she does clear

#

11 is also getting buffed, likely above banyue too

glossy latch
#

I have Evelynn with her lightcone even

runic ether
#

oof

#

yeah at least banyue has aura

glossy latch
#

Tis what it is I guess

scares me how much I have to roll

not sure whether i'll be rollroing

#

the helen fund must be preserved

#

and iirc robella is a "v6 or bust" doll

idle grove
#

sad!

#

I like ro enough to probably just grab one copy for the collection

rapid bough
#

i have no gfl1 baseline but i know she's a fan favorite

#

i might pull for her anyway because i think she's used in ice team eventually (once we get alva and helen), even at low dupes

#

tho at v6 she turns into the ice hypercarry, like qiuhua for burn and leva for electric

idle grove
#

I just need to roll another lenna and then also roll andoris COPIUM

rapid bough
#

i'd get andoris before v1 lenna if you're concerned about making electric team work

#

v1 lenna is very good but andoris is kinda mandatory for leva gaming

#

unless you have belka who sorta works in her place but not as good

#

but also rip your pull savings lol

My thoughts on LCB Checkup

#

Not really refined, but I didn't want to rewrite everything

#

IRL guy I know plays Universus and we talked about Limbus

runic ether
#

||re: don. there is no "silly" don anymore. its all sancho now playing up her role. we see it after when hohenheim speaks to her, shes speaking as sancho without any theatrics before getting back into character after.||

#

||rocinante just helps her keep the bloodfiend nature asleep, tho even then, hohenheim recognizes itd be safer to have her drink blood packs just in case. speaking of, hohenheim is a fantastic character for the limited time he was present. love how he took up heathcliff and how he cracks faust's normally poised and serious nature getting her riled up and competitive||

mental acorn
#

i would call him goathenheim but i have to stick to my principles of agreeing with everything faust says

runic ether
#

||i do like that faust is willing to bear the burden of knowledge. i actually think it may be a focal point of her canto. she knows too much about the other sinners, and they dont know much about her. that uncomfortable power dynamic will definitely be a big reason i think faust maybe the one sinner that probably never recovers in the standings of the others. i can see an outis or rodya betrayal arc and whatnot and it'll turn out bygones will be bygones for them but i dont see them exactly forgiving faust with how much she holds over them (and vergilius even). intriguing stuff to think about and a big reason shes my fave with heath.||

#

Got the Limbus battle pass, since there’s like 2 weeks left in the year

#

My burn team is now ~75% complete, and I don’t know if I wanna go all in on the remaining parts because I have a serious feeling that season 7 will be burn based

#

I know the other Mao Pack units are locked behind season 5 with the bloodfiends, but I’ve got 400 gold exchange tickets left. Should I use them for the remaining Heishous, get the standard banner burn stuff, or hold it for next season?

#

…lmfao those are the same exact screenshot

mental acorn
#

realistically I don't think there's really a reason to Not shard as much of season 6 as possible

#

unless you don't see yourself building anything that requires them for the next 6 months

#

which is a lot of time when you can get something new every 3 weeks
