fixers are graded 9 -> 1, you get a color if you are influential enough
fixers work for independent offices or associations named after a number 1 -> 10
fixers... fix things. all kinds of problems all kinds of tools
runic ether
yep. nothing complicated about it.
glossy latch
That's like an actual term that exists
Though nowadays it usually just means a go-between for criminal enterprises
runic ether
its not a bit either, pjm handles their worldbuilding rather simply and wouldnt overcomplicate it by adding any more to a word like "fixer"
"he is the red gaze, because he has red eyes and is a grade 1 fixer"
glossy latch
Kiseki/Trails has a fixer as Calvards MC, though he specifically goes by Spriggan
Just the term he uses for his occupation
runic ether
"he is the indigo elder because hes old and wears an indigo jacket"
its really refreshing when a lot of games will nounitis you. no shade to something like genshin, but it really helps to digest stories when you can say "the guy from the 7th association helped the guy from the 10th on a case to track down the monster."
glossy latch
Beware the fixer called brown noise

I do wonder if the nounitis thing comes down to language tbh
Maybe it sounds less weird in the original
runic ether
hmmm maybe?
it can be but i do think a large part is to cover up writing deficiencies
that or padding
amphoreus could drop its word count by a lot for instance, if it explained things simply and clearly
and it'd lose nothing for it
glossy latch
I mean that is accurate to ancient Greek writing lmao
runic ether
but i think that hoyo maybe feared two things
first, that the story lacked depth if it wasnt verbose
two, that the story would be too short
imagine if your story patch in 3.5 was 2 hours vs 5
and then you had fuck all to do with no events
ppl would feel like they got no story and no game
they probs have internal data about an optimized story length/time for player retention
and sometimes, going for nounitis to pad can get them there
cus it isnt like limbus doesnt also have their own bits of lengthy text boxes and long dialogues or the funny thing where someone says a thing and they have to abbreviate it above so you can have more context, but they feel significantly more meaningful than for instance, hsr does, because they dont beat around the bush with it. part of it does also come down to just better writing and it frustrates me cus ik hoyo can and has done better.
glossy latch
Oh they also do the synonym above a word thing?
runic ether
yeah albeit its rare
if it comes up its often cus they left a word untranslated even in korean from its og text like japanese or chinese

Jesus the first actual boss of endfield has hands
rapid bough
improved defiler by about 6k with YSG sig
out of curiosity i went back to threshold sim defiler (which does have a buff that favors sanby) and i actually score higher there with sanby over YSG
so sanby got hands, YSG just clears in this DA rotation since the buff is so good for her
granted, my sanby team has 1 more cost than my YSG team (trigger sig)
and that 1 cost is huge since trigger sig is one of the best in the game lol
it was a narrow sanby victory tbf, only a few thousand points
but i also still kind of suck with the sanby/trigger rotations too so i could probably push farther with more optimization (which i will not be doing)
wispy goblet
I could probably push my Stage 3 score higher this Shiyu

i usually do a few restarts to optimize fights, especially the starting sequence, but i mogged hugo so hard on the first try that i just went with the score i got lol

got my passing scores quickly this time
only needed two takes for the middle fight
both first and third fights took only one complete run

the middle fight with jane fucking rolled me
to be clear though i restart long before i know my ending score, i basically try to "perfect" runs if i can
wispy goblet
I always gotta warm up a bit with Alice/Trigger/Yuzuha

so if i take a hit early on that fucks up my sequencing i restart
if i just kept going i'm sure i'd clear everything first try, but i know i'll want to go back and optimize later so i just do that while i'm building up muscle memory for the fight

still above chapter 0 to 3 of arknights

she didn't get a swimsuit with the rest of underworld queen but a FI is fair compensation i'd say
she's already lowkey good in PvP so i'm somewhat worried she's going to become an absolute menace
her FI artwork is really good even if the pose is kinda too similar to viper's
will be interesting to see privaty's FI, she's the closest to being meta as a buffer so she might end up being our next helm-tier improvement

rapid bough
first time in a while i haven't been hyped at all for anything or anyone coming in the next ZZZ patch
wispy goblet
Thinking about if it's worth it to level up my recently acquired Hellfire Gears for Ju Fufu
currently I'm on a Crit Rate/ATK/ATK setup with Fossil on her, currently at 3,226 ATK and 60% CR
if I put Hellfire on her, I can reach her ATK goal with minimal or no substat chasing, just disc shuffling
but I'm concerned I'll be giving up so much daze generation if I don't have my ATK/ATK/Impact disks ready for her
(also I need to farm a full replacement set for her to max out her buff anyway)
I could always put Hellfire on Dialyn in the meanwhile
even with Hellfire I need 28 substat rolls....
meaningfully easier than the 32 rolls needed for Fossil, but still a big hassle for my usual level of substat chasing
rapid bough
surely you should level it anyway to be used somewhere and just cross that bridge when you get there
there's no world where it isn't an upgrade for one of them
wispy goblet
yeah it's an upgrade for Dialyn at the least
over her Steam Oven
rapid bough
then level it and use on dialyn until you have a set in place for it to fit on fufu
or just reserve it for dialyn because it's probably better for her than it is for fufu (?)
wispy goblet
yeah it's definitely higher value for Dialyn
but dawg I am not getting 32 substats on Ju Fufu....

so don't lol

you wanna run it back for the July favorite items?
old galleon
well since they clearly focused more on mostly decent to good nikkes instead of the ones at the bottom
july could look something like this
elysion: quiry
missilis: tia
tetra: rosanna, noir
since they typically do four note that my first one out is jackal
pastel bear
hm
rapid bough
i think their early item choices were more haphazard but if i were to squint my eyes and use my pattern-finding monkey brain to identify a trend, i'd note that this is the second wave in a row where 2 choices are PvP-oriented and 2 choices aren't (poli/bay + julia/tove last time, and moran/centi + privaty/zwei this time)
might be a stretch though since privaty is/was decent for PvP too on account of having a full team stun
old galleon
the arena focus on some of them is why i have rosanna in there
quiry is cope for pvp i guess, but would complete the acpu thing
then tia and noir are fan favorites who have fallen a bit out of favor compared to their glory days
pastel bear
who should I E2, Lappland or Kichisei (or amiya)

you don't have tlo do it right now but will have to later

I don't know if they do a Noir item without Blanc or vice versa

old galleon
blanc one wave, noir another, in some order

old galleon
who should I E2, Lappland or Kichisei (or amiya)
also idk who kichisei is but lappland e2 is very nice qol for her, assuming this is 5 star lappy
rapid bough
yeah the problem is that blanc is still actually quite good, maybe not top-end meta with perfect play but healers are a great safety net for non-sweaty play and she's still one of the best
rapid bough
unfortunately rouge's release made noir surplus to requirement since she's the better pair to blanc at this point

re:this without spoiling too much, there will be story content that requires you to have your own e2 amiya to play
it's quit ea bit later though
hence the need, but it's not immediately urgent
but doing it right now is also fine esp if you use her a lot

iirc they'll start e2 when you get them
