improved by switching my eve and yixuan teams, neat
broke 100k, now i'm happy
i could probably improve even further by using dialyn with eve
but making that fight work with eve took years off my life, there's so many ways to switch her in at the wrong time and fuck up your combos
plus i still don't know shit about dialyn lol
as i type this out though... now i'm a bit curious
33765 with dialyn over lighter... so very slightly better
i'm sure there are ways to optimize the fight to go HAM and break 40k or something but i'ma call it there at least for now lol
ah i'm still on astral eve too, puffer is better w/ dialyn
guess i'll tinker again in the future

lord hong lu uses rusty commemorative coin really well
he will use his s3, get his heishou jumping
and then he will use his s3-3 (4? idr) which is the one where hes alone
its really stupid busted for dps
legit strat: convert his whole skill kit into s3
also his counter cycles heishous in and lets them use their s3s, which rewards a full heishou team. the only 2 that cant truly contribute to this chain is meursault (and ishmael) atm, and it will often also be really broken anyways since, while not as broken of a counter skill as maost, its a stupid good counter

they also have last reset's buff which was better than this one's but still, jesus fuck
i still see people breaking 40k on this reset and i top out at like 38k with the sweatiest play i can muster

@timber sigil @rapid bough what are the best ways to increase the combat power number on units
I assume the remolding pattern has something to do with it now
rapid bough
it does, but not as much as you'd probably think
the combat power number mostly doesn't matter after 11-12k imo, it goes up with stat increases but weights certain stats you might not care about (like HP) higher than others, so a high number doesn't necessarily mean your stats are what you want them to be
weapon attachments are usually your biggest stat increases
then the new remolding pattern
then neural keys
dupes (for fortify levels) also give significant increases but obviously you can't really control those for the most part
idle grove
sure sure
I'm just going to focus on my fire team rn so I'm making sure they all have the best stuff
rapid bough
the only burn team member i've upgraded the remolding pattern to 60 for is qiongju
everntually i'll do sharkry
but it's a relative waste for vector/reissi
i think the correct thing to do with them is upgrade to 40 since 41+ is where most of the cost is

honestly really curious to see where they go with ||the qingming sword's side effects on shunguang. there's a disconnect between story where it's the last resort that puts her out of commission for several days, versus gameplay where she's going qingming mode multiple times per fight||
||i find it hard to believe she gets released under the current narrative where she's actually slowly killing herself during gameplay... but it would also make her far more interesting if we didn't just find "the cure" where she can use the qingming sword for brief periods with no side effects, and is actually still doomed to a tragic end with possible future plot beats of forgetting the proxies/friends/past major events/etc||
||personally i don't think hoyo has the stones to not give us some mitigation of the qingming sword's effects, if only because it makes managing shunguang's story easier long-term, and translates to her gameplay better. but man if they rock up next patch and she's forgetting interactions with the proxies (like the current diary event) permanently with no end in sight? she'd be so much more engaging as a character||

2 more standard recruit bonuses + tia and helm being added to it is pretty damn nice
notable new player experience improvement to be able to guarantee the tia+naga duo and access to helm's treasure since it's far and away the best one in the game atm
surface improvements are welcome and necessary, and seems like almost all of them are what players would want, so heading in the right direction there
i know i saw a lot of people saying to just scrap the mode entirely, tbh i've always seen the vision but the initial release was just way too tedious. these changes (+ i hope whatever else they haven't listed) will go a long way to improving it
one thing they didn't list that i put in the survey was to just reduce the number of clicks required to do the 3 dailies
i try to do a few days' worth (like 15+) at once and the amount of clicks needed is diabolical
just finishing a single daily requires going through like 4 confirm dialogs, madness
also if you ever change the sector they appear in (i prefer sector 1 since it's smallest so less travel required to complete), once you finish a daily it resets the location so you have to re-select what you want
minor frustrations like those add up when you're dealing with them every day, potentially dozens of times

yeah i gave my thoughts up here
overall a relatively minor dev note but all the things they announced are good so hard to argue
old galleon
people have opinions on the third anni
that range from "good, keep killing nikkes" to "they manufactured these nikkes' deaths"
personally i'm of the opinion that death isn't the only form of stakes available to story writers, and it shouldn't be used lightly
but that it also shouldn't be outright avoided if it adds to the story
rapid bough
i also think it's really easy to say "kill more characters" until it's your favorite one on the chopping block lol
old galleon
also that, yes
rapid bough
that said, nikke definitely had an issue up to this point with being noncommital towards character death
old galleon
i don't really have a huge attachment to inherit or eden in general, but i empathize with their fans
rapid bough
while death isn't the only way to raise the stakes, when it's repeatedly ignored or dismissed it can lower them
red hood has had what, like 4 different "final farewell" moments now? lol
old galleon
i think there's some sort of balance between not having death at all (which is fine if that's teh story they want to tell, but they clearly don't), having death but not all the time (which is fine too), and having death but death not being a real consequence (the dragonball problem)
but i'm no professional writer so i'm not gonna argue too much about where that balance is or what i think it should be
rapid bough
it's cool that the director basically admits they got a bit caught up in the "hero's journey/hero saves the day" narrative with the commander and realized that an adjustment was necessary, even if only for a time
old galleon
if nothing else, yes, that is a necessary correction
the commander isn't god, nor is he nayuta
so he can't be everywhere at once
and he sure as hell ain't omnipotent
rapid bough
nikke is usually at its best when it embraces its post-apocalyptic/dystopian roots and realizes shit isn't all sunshine and rainbows
old galleon
i mean, look no further than some of the more universally acclaimed stories

arguably red ash too
(so a lot of the anni/half anni stories)
rapid bough
yeah lol
old galleon
tbh in that context the events of eden's spear aren't that out of the nrom

though even some of the side stories are goated for that too

hard mode ending incoming
old galleon
but with all that said, i do also enjoy a bunch of the happier stories they do
tho i guess "happier" is relative
rapid bough
yeah lol it can't be depresso all the time
the best stories are ones that strike a balance, old tales does that for instance
pretty brutal for 80% of the time but that makes the last 20% of "we are so back" hit that much harder
terminus ticket does that too ||(other way around tho lmao)||
makes me think back to footstep walk run, it was good but definitely not as good as old tales
and i think the reason i feel that way is because it was just one long depression bomb, like "here's rapi living her worst life for 3 hours straight"
it ended on a high note but a much shorter and more understated one than old tales
old galleon
footstep was focused on rapi, while old tales was more expansive
yes, cindy is the focal character of old tales, but there's a lot more going on there
and, bluntly, the grimms are more historically significant than rapi
at least as presented in the context of the overall story (as opposed to just the commander's story)
rapid bough
idt the scope or overall importance to the universe is really a differencemaker, at least not to me
old galleon
if pressed, i guess i'd say the differences in presentation boil down to old tales having the full depth and weight of an anniversary event
while footstep is "only" a new year event
rapid bough
one of the few stories in nikke to genuinely make me cry for example was nya nya paradise and that's as minor an event as it gets
my issue in hindsight with rapi's event is that it was just rapi torture for like 99% of its runtime lol
old galleon
nya nya sounds like a story about cats, and it is not that hard to make a depressing or sad story featuring animals
rapid bough
it got a bit numbing
old galleon
i'm not gonna discount the emotional impact the story has, of course
but subject matter can also play a role
rapid bough
the highlights of old tales for me were the character moments of cindy and abe, and a bit of oswald the goat

I'm not as sure that ||Indivilia will be permanently dead, if only because she's...
||true, and to be fair, the "difficult direction" they were talking about was definitely killing inherit and maybe nihilister. i don't think anyone was crying when girlfailure indivilia "died" lol||
||that said, thus far indivilia has been exclusively an antagonist and has nearly killed several characters we love (anis, neon, marian, chime, crown). she's got a long way to go before she's justifiably playable||
||and on that note, it does still surprise me they made liberalio playable. she's endearing enough so far strictly within the main story, but never forget she directly caused the events of goddess fall and would probably do it again in a nanosecond even with hindsight||
||she's on an interesting path after being shown that humans/heretics/raptures can co-exist equally, and seems to be want to talk earnestly with the queen about it, but she's still on mom's side until further notice||

very sneaky of them to give Winter Brid surface movespeed and Winter Diesel range up
rapid bough
something else i noticed belatedly is that liberalio became the best wind option for +dmg taken
i was using quiry before lol
saved me a synchro slot
but tbh, if you've unlocked everything on the surface so far, it's not worth pushing synchro slots for 8 full squads
realistically i only use 2 teams atm
sanis/x.diesel/rapunzel/rrh/OSmihara
x.brid/brid/naga/scarlet/s.doro
and even then i only use both at once to speed up dailies
the weekly bosses and base defenses that you'd use elemental/support teams for aren't useful yet, so i just don't bother
old galleon
i didn't push surface very hard, but hopefully the planned fixes make it more fun
bc i want to like the idea
rapid bough
i'm not sure it'll ever be "fun" because ultimately it's another set of chores to do
but so long as the streamlining cuts the time investment required into a fraction of what it was, i'll be happy
it's going to become very significant to character power once the beta ends
there's lots of room to expand it to be more interesting/interactive, but right now they just need to cut down on the tedium
because doing those bosses/base defenses weekly as they currently work would suck ass
luckily the changes they mentioned in the dev note are all moving in the right direction
wispy goblet
the boss fights are kinda fun
unfortunately the controls a little too unresponsive to really evoke that good RTS feel
rapid bough
yeah improving the controls should definitely be in the pipeline too
idk why they don't let you select multiple squads at once but they really need to add that feature lol
imo the boss fights are too long, and they said they plan on shortening them to start
but i hope with some control updates they can introduce more mechanics to the bosses
would much prefer short and interactive to long but afk-able (which is what they currently are if you bring 2 support squads lol)

probably the correct choice but requires you to know it has spoilers ahead of time
i knew and went through anyway because i know myself and that i probably wouldn't actually go back and reread it lol
but i feel bad for anyone who didn't know and went through and was both confused initially (since dialogue talks about events in odesa) and then very spoiled at the end
side note, lenna event genuinely felt like a 2 part event crammed into one part
it had so much dialogue and jumping around
easily the most dense 1 part event yet in terms of story content, to the point it was jarring specifically because it had to jump around so much to fit what it needed into its runtime
good story tho, especially the second half. first half was mostly setup and tbh got a bit confusing as the story was developing in like 5 different disconnected ways at once and it was unclear how they would all connect

I prefer Pearls on Fugue, Solitary on Dahlia because Fugue already builds EHR to make Pearls more consistent
And Dahlia shares her BE in sustain teams so giving her more is a bit more valuable, as long as Fugue has 220 post buffs

Says who
... yknow the worst part is its probably correct to not get Banyue and get the void hunter
Physical is an element I only have Jane Doe for
And Im stacked on fire
slow raft
Im in much the same position
However, (un)luckily, i likely wont have enough rolls to hit pity twice by the time banyue releases, so i will have no choice but to not get him anyways
glossy latch
I mean he already released so
But also same
Im 45 rolls from soft pity and I think I can get 25 at most
glossy latch
Especially because hes only around for 12 days yeah
glossy latch
I am hoping I still get him because he looks fun
And I just genuinely dont care for the void hunter
Other than her being a good physical unit

If you try him you will know if you actually think he is fun
Ill do the event soon™
But tbh Id be surprised if he isnt fun
But I have to get lucky and he wont have his sig 😔
Alternatively I get the void hunter and her sig
Which is like good and Shiyu and DA have been rough lately
But idk
I could also just drop ZZZ for now and check back when it has a story I find interesting or character designs I vibe with

fgo vs ak was how the previous gacha game story tournament ended too

zzz sneak
digital marlin
Woah what is that doing there
rapid bough
i'm curious what the hoyo enjoyers think of ZZZ's story compared to their other main IPs (hi3, hsr, genshin)
also yeah i feel like this bracket just shouldn't be allowed to have FGO lol
it's basically a cheat code for this discussion in particular
i haven't played it myself but i know its reputation, and even if it didn't have that reputation it's attached to a gargantuan IP that does have that reptuation so
runic ether
zzz's story is... by far the worst of the main hoyo games and all 3 of the main hoyo games rn are far worse than honkai impact 3rd
its a bit hard to compare zzz's story in a sense? because genshin has had quite a lot of time
and it has had some real stinkers
some lows far worse than anything zzz has made
maiden veldt
honestly the 2.0 story/setting was such whiplash vs 1.0 that it put me off from even playing that much.
i didn't install zzz to play a chinese temple management simulation...
rapid bough
i actually fucked with the temple management but that's because i'm a sucker for simulation type stuff
but it was a minor thing and basically an afterthought after 2.0
they added automanagement in the most recent patch so i bid it a fond farewell
imo ZZZ's overarching story is fairly mid at best, but the character stories thus far have been solid and largely carry everything else
which isn't really surprising considering ultimately gacha games rely on selling characters most of all
but they don't need to be mutually exclusive, you can have a strong overarching plot and strong individual character plots
runic ether
yeah
which was an overall strong point of hi3rd
and genshin for a good while
genshin is honestly surprising it beat anyone rn given that the overarching story is seemingly being thrown out the window for a new one that'll last longer given hoyo's plans after how hi3rd has been feeling now that the main story for that game ended
they've course corrected way too strongly
rapid bough
i mean ultimately you can bet this is largely a popularity poll lol
genshin's still the biggest hoyo game by a wide margin
runic ether
mmm to an extent
losing to nikke is pretty indicative of current genshin story's quality however
rapid bough
hey nikke's story is pretty damn good lol
runic ether
ik nikke's story is apparently good
rapid bough
shame it's against FGO
runic ether
but it is not nearly as large as genshin in terms of popularity
rapid bough
true but it has the advantage of being known for two things
- plot
- "plot"
runic ether
yeah and even then tho that wouldnt have mattered if this poll was hosted vs genshin from 2 years ago
4.x patch genshin had a pretty damn good story
rapid bough
kinda depends for nikke too, i think you'd see a similar effect if you polled nikke's story 2 years ago
runic ether
and it may be the most popular cast of characters? or at the very least the 2nd most popular overall cast which came after an insanely good cast of characters
rapid bough
while i do think it's still pretty good, i think the prevailing sentiment is that it was best in the first year or so
but i think that's true of basically every game to some extent
runic ether
tho i am willing to bet nikke's latest stories are still much stronger than genshin atm
rapid bough
every game's got its highs and lows
runic ether
every game except for limbus company it started low (not that low really) and its only been topping each and every canto every release including the intervallos
rapid bough
unfortunately it is about to get mogged in this poll by FGO (after it beats nikke)
runic ether
arknights is the only real competitor to fgo and thats on the other bracket
rapid bough
i honestly didn't know arknights' story was highly regarded (on the level of FGO anyway)
but i don't claim to be tapped in to the gacha community
my only exposure to it is this chat and the occasional r/gachagaming thread
this chat has many limbus enjoyers so i'm familiar with its reputation somewhat
slow raft
Yeah arknights is p good
rapid bough
arknights sees relatively little discussion here i feel
slow raft
However it does not have voice acting and sometimes suffers from terminal yapper syndrome
rapid bough
on the subject of terminal yapping
gfl2 is definitely guilty of that at times, but it also has a very good overall story (that got derailed for a while as mica course corrected their initial direction)
runic ether
However it does not have voice acting and sometimes suffers from terminal yapper...
ah gacha players worst nightmare: reading
rapid bough
honestly kinda an oversight that girls frontline (either 1 or 2) aren't in this poll
it's more niche than basically every other game but i get the sense it's known for its story even among people who haven't played it
story and feet, gfl2's two specialities
i'ma be real though, i think no voice acting is a major limiting factor to my enjoyment of/engagement with a story
i happen to go one step further though and consider specifically EN VO a pretty important factor to my enjoyment
old galleon
didn't gfl lose round 1 to fgo or is that not gfl
runic ether
i think nikke has escaped some of the gooner appearance due to having some good story to where it can be discussed over as having one, but i dont think i've ever seen or heard anything about gfl2 that isnt hardcore about gooning it something heavy

i will glaze arknights story until the day i die but everybody here is either in the same boat so there's not really a point or hasn't caught up yet so it would be spoiling
old galleon
the game i actually care about not being in here is another eden, but that one's too niche

if i ever start playing blue archive you certainly won't see me admit to it here

I played it until i realized i hated the gameplay and didnt care for the story or characters

i feel like BA is probably just one of those games where most of the Gooning is just from the comunity

no i get the sense the game itself leans into the gooning hard lol

speaking of leaning into the gooning hard, brown dust 2 has been teasing their upcoming 2.5 anni content and honestly i am absolutely shocked they're still listed on app stores
old galleon
how long until they just outright show sex on screen
digital marlin
gacha games trying to see how far they can lean before its deemed to far
rapid bough
it's tough to say which of BD2 or AL has toed that line closer
old galleon
al has shown sex on screen tho
rapid bough
but it's definitely more likely for BD2 to just go all-in on H than AL
old galleon
they just haven't shown genitals or the like
rapid bough
al has shown sex on screen tho
they've done the "simulated sex" stuff with a lot of skins in the past year
old galleon
yes, which i count : ^)
rapid bough
BD2 has done that too but also like
the fated guest sequences definitely have very explicit foreplay and show everything short of penetration and genitals in some cases
i feel like BD2 has reached peaks of lewdness that top even AL in terms of what they actually show
old galleon
whereas al features simulated penetration and the like
but the way they're both going i could see them both crossing a line
rapid bough
i think BD2 crossing the line is more likely than AL since it has less to lose from being delisted on app stores lol
old galleon
azur lane's never doing a pc client, are they
rapid bough
but more likely they both just continue to exist, toeing the line as closely as possible without crossing it
rapid bough
azur lane's never doing a pc client, are they
nah i gave up on that hope a while ago
they even did a mumu collab with mumu releasing an update specifically catered to optimzing azur lane emulation lol
it's joever
old galleon
lol rip
rapid bough
an AL PC client is basically the only thing that could get me to come back to the game atp
and even that might not
it's probably for the best i dropped it since it's such a huge time sink lol
old galleon
i'd probably be playing it but i don't have space on this device for all of nikke, another eden, and azur lane, and nikke carries over the other two, while ae def beats al for me
and even if i did have room for them all, yeah, time issue
sad since they're dropping lexington ii soon, who i'd been waiting for for a while
but alas

Seed is a mix bag

i actually liked both of them, the closest to fall flat for me has prolly been lucia

her story with Seed senior was great

yidhari for me was def the lowest
digital marlin
outside of that shes a bit unhinged
glossy latch
Design wise I think Dialyn is the first character since Yuzuha and Alice that I thought was alright
rapid bough
agree i really like seed's character story, though i agree her character itself i was kinda whatever about
glossy latch
Orphies problem is mostly that the bottom half of her design just completely ignores what the top half is doing for the sake of sexy

certified real one

i've loved manato ever since he called out yuzu on her brat/tsundere bullshit early in her intro lol

Honestly though with ZZZ I feel like the designs suffer badly from trying to appeal primarily towards a very specific audience
HSR for its faults at least has more variety
(Though I wish we would get non-humans for once)
slow raft
Its crazy that the most playable non human we have in hsr is svarog
rapid bough
i agree to an extent, it's definitely been true of specifically the last few characters before dialyn
slow raft
A humanoid robot who shows up as a summon for another char
rapid bough
orphie, seed, lucia, and yidhari all had pretty phoned in designs that seemed to lean too heavily on just being sexy for the sake of it
runic ether
oh definitely
like im not gonna say that trigger and s11 were perfect
but they felt like soldiers
seed really doesnt
orphie kinda
glossy latch
Orphie would if the bottom half of her design matched the top half
runic ether
lucia and yidhari felt like they got pulled back in cus they saw yixuan's success and dialed it in
rapid bough
i still think yixuan's design is fine, though it toes the line a little bit it at least fits her character imo
glossy latch
The top half works as a relatively believable military outfit
glossy latch
But then she just has bare legs and thigh-highs
runic ether
i will say, dialyn, banyue, and zhao are a top design faction
rapid bough
but those 4 in between... idk what happened
glossy latch
Its crazy that the most playable non human we have in hsr is svarog
God I wish he was a solo unit 😔
glossy latch
Also god I wish we would get Screwllum already
runic ether
I saw a side by side of yidhari and yanagi and it was like
yeaa
glossy latch
Banyue isnt perfect tbh, I kinda think his gauntlets stick out a little too much
rapid bough
like yidhari definitely activates my neurons and i'd have waifu pulled for her if i had the savings
glossy latch
But god by ZZZ standards he is peak
rapid bough
but there's no doubt that her design and personality are at odds, probably the biggest conflict between them in the entire game tbh
runic ether
mmmm
slow raft
Also god I wish we would get Screwllum already
Getting robot mogged by arknights as a space game is so sad
rapid bough
i don't really like lucia's design but it doesn't stick out to me as conflicting with her
slow raft
It feels weird cause overall zzz feels like it has more variety than hsr but then you think about it and theres so much homogeny
rapid bough
yidhari looks and (in gameplay) acts like almost a femme fatale like jane, she does the pole dancing and shows tons of skin and shit
glossy latch
Incredibly uninteresting but fine
rapid bough
but her actual personality is like... innocent cinnamon roll
glossy latch
It feels weird cause overall zzz feels like it has more variety than hsr but the...
ZZZ has more extreme outliers
HSR has more baseline variety but it doesnt have anything like Banyue or the Panda

WuWa is similar in that regard tbh

Theoretically, but Idk if they wanna go a step above the sentinel resonators

I think Ill see if ZZZ manages to really hook me again before 3.0 or I might just drop it for a bit
At which point its just HSR and WuWa left

well in terms of character releases it's gonna be shunguang and then the virtual idols
glossy latch
And for HSR Im mostly just seeing how theyll do 4.0 now

the idols will be so nice for saving

so if none of that hooks you then the only thing that could is the story

the idols will be so nice for saving
we'll see who they rerun alongside them lol

Same lol
rapid bough
but their stats and the shiyu/DA buffsets are shilled so heavily toward specific teams
basically inting to use anomaly on defiler for instance
glossy latch
Yeah
slow raft
Yeah its been kinda difficult clearing endgame content for me without a rupture char
rapid bough
tbh it's kinda been inting to use anomaly on any recent bosses lol, i think they've had it hard lately
miasmic fiend was the last boss anomaly was usable for
slow raft
And my only really well built team being miyabi
rapid bough
sucks ass on defiler, hunter, and thrall tho
slow raft
Like i can clear shiyu while hard forcing miyabi and eve but it aint pretty
rapid bough
Yeah its been kinda difficult clearing endgame content for me without a rupture ...
i know it's easy to forget but yixuan actually is rupture lol
slow raft
Thats cool for the people that have her ig
slow raft
My only rupture char is manato rn
rapid bough
use manato you fool
glossy latch
Nah I have her
slow raft
I tried for yidhari but well
rapid bough
she's still the most fun rupture character to use imo
slow raft
Tried
rapid bough
(not yidhari, yixuan)
slow raft
God it sucks to not be able to get every char in a gacha, anyone ever said that?
rapid bough
(playing yidhari felt like bashing my head against a wall)
rapid bough
God it sucks to not be able to get every char in a gacha, anyone ever said that?
damn that's a hot take right there
glossy latch
Many such cases
Im glad that WuWa has let me get the ones I care about at least
I think Ive only ever had to skip one character I was mildly interested in (though well see if I can pull Lynae in time lmao)
slow raft
I think more gachas should let you get everyone like limbus does thatd be cool
rapid bough
the minor expense of monthly passes has been enough to get me every character (i want) in nikke and gfl2
ZZZ (and hoyo rates in general) is too rough for that though
slow raft
From what i rember azur lane also had that but i think they change that at some point
glossy latch
Other than Changli I got everyone I wanted
And Ive been regularly pulling for signature weapons too lmao
rapid bough
From what i rember azur lane also had that but i think they change that at some ...
AL is just very generous with pulling currency
glossy latch
But tbh WuWa is still a gacha and Id prefer if it wasnt
rapid bough
but its pity system sucks so there may be times you get boned
slow raft
In limbus when im not interested in a character i simply get them at seasons end
glossy latch
But thats a topic thats been beaten to death, resurrected, and beaten to death again
slow raft
Somehow, the topic returned...
Speaking of seasons end, i need to 100% md still
Bit of a yiker that one but i have 5k starlight saved up surely i can do it
runic ether
im def not 100%ing md before season ends despite spamming a lot of md runs
slow raft
I only have a few annoying achievements left
Like the themepack ones or the damage one or the md extreme one
All doable, i just need to sit down and do them

late canopy
Helios is the best
neon ore
Specially by the time she comes to global her dialogue will be extra outdated
late canopy
Some of my friends say you should disable character voiices when training her cuz she's too loud but to me that's the best part
