octavia fate episodes are playing really hard into the whole grandma thing

slow raft
#

Idk how i feel about ador faust not blowing herself up for now

#

honestly aside from missing out on the additional burn application, the ego resources and the switch in, it might be worth considering

silver osprey
#

I like that she doesn't blow up now

slow raft
#

im so fgo brained, i prefer my sinners to kill themself for min turning

rapid bough
#

nikke update notes are out too

#

arcana alt is a fire SG who buffs shotguns

#

we don't know what burst she is but that sounds a whole lot like x.brid powercreep lol

#

granted brid didn't buff shotguns, she buffed fire nikkes

#

also holy hell there's a lot of skins this patch

#

privaty gacha is known, but there's also

  • vesti: TU
  • viper
  • sora
  • clay (free from login event)
#

the update notes even call 2x2 Love a "dating sim story event" lmao

#

and seems like the main choices this time are arcana and privaty

#

much like last time where i went naga, there's a clear winner here. sorry privaty

silver osprey
rapid bough
#

MMR: we need to improve our image
privaty: will a slutty lingerie teacher outfit work
MMR: yasssss bitch slay

runic ether
#

still viable

#

just... not with the ego

slow raft
#

Yeah and feel bullet can also still uhh "recycle" her

#

Ig in the end its just another option, i just feel like kt wouldve been neat if the ego allowed two "modes"

#

Like awakening lets her stay alive and corrosion lets her blow up

#

It does enable another playstyle for her and thats neat enough

runic ether
#

yea true... more options nice baseline. guess we'll see if it then changes some burn set ups too. .

@rapid bough I have bad news. Apparently 3.4 is gonna be the collab banners and Lucilla

rapid bough
#

my expectations (of characters i'm going to pull) were:

3.2 - lynae second half
3.3 - hiyuki
3.4 - cyberpunk and lucilla

also, anni is somewhere in there and i read that last anni had a massive rerun of every 1.x character? if they do the same but with 2.x then... well, i'd want a lot of characters, but phrolova probably the most since i know she's insanely strong

glossy latch
#

She is but she's also high investment to a degree

#

Her non signature options are limited and her best teammates are premium

#

... oh maybe I can finally get Brants weapon OgreThink

rapid bough
#

Her non signature options are limited and her best teammates are premium
urge to pull qiuyuan rising

#

her premium team is cantarella & qiuyuan right? both characters i want anyway

#

i really might adopt your "just get lucky" strat and pull for qiuyuan hoping to win the 50, and if not i'll just save the guarantee for lynae

#

issue with that of course is that if i win on qiuyuan but lose on lynae then i'm boned

rapid bough
#

S billy is electric attack and will synergize with cissia trust

runic ether
#

holy shit if s rank billy is electric attack

rapid bough
#

the crashouts will be legendary

runic ether
#

they are currently paired for the story in the next patc

#

patch

rapid bough
#

lock it in

runic ether
#

holy fuck it'd actually be so fucking funny

rapid bough
#

if true it'd also make us 2 for 4 on cunning hares electric attack alts

#

electric attack nicole will feed families

runic ether
#

and he cant really be phys attack...

#

and surely hes not ice anom

rapid bough
#

electric attack honestly makes too much sense given the roster and releases he's next to lol

runic ether
#

another 10 electric attackers for zzz

rapid bough
#

in fairness they have actually given our current electric attackers several niches that play quite a bit differently

#

harumasa stun-focused, sanby heavily on-field with aftershocks, seed encourages having two shared on-field attackers (cissia as well)

#

and then there's anton icant

glossy latch
#

Hey anton also has a niche

#

He's just bad at it

#

Also if S Billy has a good design I might come back

#

And by good design I mean he better henshin

rapid bough
#

honestly safe bet he will be

#

whatever your thoughts may be on ZZZ female character designs and their hits or misses which misty and i litigated heavily the other day

#

their male characters have consistently fucked

glossy latch
#

True

#

But I will still wait and see

rapid bough
#

i was doing my easy z-merit hollow zero runs the other day and using the komano auxiliary gear just to finish the mission for polys

#

and i was reminded how fucking good his voiceover is

#

plus his design, obviously

runic ether
#

zzz community still talks about how fumbled manato was from the devs to this day

#

hes prime suspect to get a proper s rank at some poing

rapid bough
#

komano being A rank is still one of the most diabolical robberies of all time

#

the only good thing to come out of it is that at least it let us get him for free

#

but still god dammit

runic ether
#

made worse by using having seen an s rank tag on him briefly

#

and devs having talked about more male s rank characters

#

not long before

rapid bough
#

that was a case where being tuned in to leaks made things worse lol

runic ether
#

def

timber sigil
#

idr if I talked about G41/Fulyn returning in Basti/Mk23's event

idle grove
#

yeah I think you mentioned it

wispy goblet
#

The last known 2.7 Shiyu has a mixed Ether and Ice anomaly push buff
It'd be weird for Promeia to be second half

#

That said
The last known 2.7 DA has a double Attacker buff
with an electric buff included

rapid bough
wispy goblet
#

It's usually DA that rolls over at the start of a new patch too, I believe
So Billy being Electric Attack and benefiting from the last 2.7 DA would make sense

#

Hmmm
I see it

wispy goblet
wispy goblet
#

I'll take it
More time to save for Promeia if he's first half
And maybe a lower chance of a Caesar rerun

runic ether
#

and cissia works on aftershocks with seed too... yeah i can see it

#

sbilly will be electric attack + have aftershock/care about aftershock

#

with trigger being their bis

wispy goblet
#

Cissia doesn't have any aftershocks

runic ether
#

oh i havent followed her beta at all

#

hard to do so bc they have been killing the leakers lol

wispy goblet
#

nah the cottage industry spun up back again pretty quickly for ZZZ

#

She is Seed's best partner still

rapid bough
#

inb4 seed got cucked out of sanby team by orphie and gets cucked out of s-billy's team by cissia

#

forever the second attack agent without a true home

wispy goblet
#

this is rather funny

#

although
I have to imagine
They make Silly and SAnby work together

rapid bough
#

unless s-billy is aftershock focused it'll be hard to picture him working in sanby's team better than orphie

wispy goblet
#

I could easily see them do that for the flavor synergy

rapid bough
#

would be hard to make it work unless he also brought orphie-tier buffs

#

would also be awkward if he's meant to synergize with cissia since the field time requirements are so different

#

electric orphie would fuck tho

#

always has been awkward that sanby premium team has 2 electric/1 fire subDPS lol

#

again though, that'd leave the cissia synergy out to dry, in theory

wispy goblet
#

I just put it together
The reason they have been considering Cissia buffing Physicial
is they were considering Cissia working with ABilly

rapid bough
#

or s-billy really is physical and we're overthinking the shiyu buff situation

wispy goblet
#

if he is Physical and Cissia releases without buffing Phys (they keep going back and forth in the beta, most recent iteration is not)
that would leave him a little high and dry

rapid bough
#

i haven't followed her beta cycle, i didn't realize they were flip-flopping on her phys synergy

#

that basically rules out either cissia deliberate synergy with s-billy, or s-billy being physical

#

if he was physical that's probably not something they'd be struggling to commit on

#

but her lacking synergy with s-billy would be broke given the way they seem to be setting up the story

#

so yeah, electric attack s-billy here we go

runic ether
#

we are all thinking electric attack as cissia being her best teammate but

#

have we considered s billy being a sanby merchant

#

sanby and sbilly and snicole team

#

poor nekomata left in the dust

rapid bough
#

we discussed that briefly above

#

they'd basically have to make him electric orphie to work with sanby better than current orphie tbh

#

which is possible but, again, sabotages the cissia synergy people are using to predict he's electric in the first place

#

that said, if there's any character set up to be our next orphie/trigger-like "shoots from off the field" style, it's billy

runic ether
#

we are talking about the same company that sabotaged manato and banyue
arguably yidhari and sunna too

rapid bough
#

how'd they sabotage yidhari and sunna

#

i guess sunna by giving zhao for free

runic ether
#

sunna coming out right after free zhao was rough for her and also her outfit just does not fit the other 2 angels

rapid bough
#

though she's still hella BIS for AoD comps which are themselves hella shilled

runic ether
#

fuck not yidharu

#

yidhari

glossy latch
#

... oh I forgot to do the Wuwa events

runic ether
#

orphie was not set up right

glossy latch
#

And I have to study tomorrow for an exam on wednesday

#

Oops

runic ether
#

its who i was thinking of

#

tho they also sold hugo and then immediately after made his gimmick pretty rough without investments into him

#

eve and hugo still dont have a disc drive

#

(zhao is getting one soon)

rapid bough
#

meanwhile eve's out here running fucking astral voice

#

idk why hoyo's gotta do my queen like this

runic ether
#

zhao shill set

#

idk why that makes me a bit upset when they could feed others

wispy goblet
#

Evelyn is still performing immensely well
They do not need to give her a dedicated set

runic ether
#

did zhao really need a set

rapid bough
#

i'm aware, and that's likely the reason they haven't given one to her

#

just an obvious oversight given who else has sets

wispy goblet
#

I saw some people thinking
Zhao isn't blue
But Norma is

runic ether
#

a second hp scaling defense agent wills hit zzz

rapid bough
#

the set is literally named "bunny in wonderland", look me in the eyes and tell me they weren't trying to evoke zhao with that even if it also doubles for norma lol

runic ether
#

isnt norma also a rabbit

wispy goblet
#

Ye
She has the bangboo ear hat

runic ether
#

still

rapid bough
#

she's also at least three patches away

runic ether
#

very weird to drop 3 total rabbit thirens before a year

#

2 of them hp scaling defense agents

#

ergh

#

then again

#

if sbilly is electric attack

wispy goblet
#

also Bunny in Wonderland is good for the other supporting Defense agents in general

runic ether
#

that'd be

wispy goblet
#

Good for Pan
Although the 2pc is meaningless for him

runic ether
#

anton, haru, sanby, seed, cissia, sbilly...

wispy goblet
#

I am not looking forward to having to do more substat chasing

rapid bough
wispy goblet
#

For both Pan and Zhao

runic ether
#

at least what i've seen from sanby and seed mains they are much more looking forward to cissia

#

and this beta has been more or less "its so over" and "we're so back"

rapid bough
#

seed has struck me as the odd one out of the obol bunch tbh, not orphie

versed pawn
#

i mean

runic ether
#

oh i mean like absolutely

rapid bough
#

largely because orphie works very well in sanby/trigger teams

versed pawn
#

myst

runic ether
#

from design to gameplay

versed pawn
#

every beta is its so over and we are so back

#

every

#

single

#

one

rapid bough
#

seed still works in those comps too obviously, just not as well

runic ether
#

but i feel like i see sanby mains going "i need cissia to replace orphie"

runic ether
rapid bough
#

i sorta feel that but mostly because it's so weird that orphie is fire in an electric DPS team

versed pawn
#

personally doubt people are willing to replace orphie for their sanby team that fast

#

tho may be handy in certain elemental matchups

runic ether
#

sometimes we do get cipher cases tho

rapid bough
#

s-billy with the same sort of gameplay and buffs as orphie but electric tho

#

that would feed families

runic ether
#

being literally the greatest of all time to a total bum (on par with other character releases)

#

god i need a hit of whatever hoyo was on for v2 cipher in hsr

versed pawn
#

more interested how they build him

#

what faction hes gonna be in

runic ether
#

maybe one of the single strongest hoyo releases across games for no reason

#

they butchered her and she was still strong

rapid bough
#

something occurs to me

#

wasn't it reported early in the beta cycle that zhu yuan might be getting potential upgrades

#

what ever happened to that

#

was it just lies

#

or misinterpreting assets or whatever

wispy goblet
#

there's no new PUs for 2.7

#

Could be next patch

runic ether
#

yeah not for 2.7

wispy goblet
#

Allegedly next up are Zhu Yuan and Koleda

rapid bough
#

i'd love for zhu yuan to be usable for endgame again

#

koleda... well, i have m4 so we'll see what happens lol

#

pretty hard to be better than lighter as a fire stunner or dialyn as a generic

runic ether
#

the lycaon buffs were great for me as an m5 lycaon haver

rapid bough
#

aren't lycaon's mindscapes past m1 kinda shit

runic ether
#

yes

#

but the talent upgrades are good

wispy goblet
#

They only improve his personal damage

rapid bough
#

true i guess

#

i hadn't actually read koleda's mindscapes but they're pretty shit too, hoyo likes giving personal damage on standard banner dupes apparently

#

which is great for s11/grace/neko

#

not so much for rina/lycaon/koleda

#

at least koleda has two mindscapes that noticeably improve her daze generation (m1 and m2)

#

the funny thing is that she's the stunner least in need of improved daze generation since i think she's still literally the top daze generator in the game

#

girl does two EX specials and a dodge counter or two and stuns bosses from 0 daze lol

runic ether
#

she needs off field daze gen

rapid bough
#

until she gives buffs and doesn't just have insane raw daze output i think she'll still be irrelevant

#

or like

#

change her AA to give up to +70% stun damage multi instead of +70% chain attack damage

#

that would go hard as fuck

#

(also rip qingyi lmaooooooo)

wispy goblet
#

to be fair
because of how the daze is broken up in her EX in two parts
if you shortcut from her B2 or B4 into EX
it does less daze because you miss part of it
and it's the bigger part too
lamo

Max HP +80%, ATK +260%.

#

i'm struggling with my pull plans in ZZZ

  • i don't really want nangong even though she's probably going to be OP
  • i would like to get yidhari for waifu, but i struggle to justify getting her without her sig because base yidhari is probably worse than m0w1 yixuan even for ice weak... but i don't really want to get yidhari's sig
  • i don't really want cissia
  • i would like to get seed, but i struggle to justify getting her without getting cissia, and because i plan to get orphie for sanby in the future
#

i feel like the only time i'd ever use yidhari is if there's a DA/shiyu rotation that needs two rupture teams, which is probably only going to get rarer as we move further from the rupture shill reckoning that we got a few months back

#

of course eventually we will return to rupture shill once we get the next major rupture character(s), but i might just pull them instead (depending on whether i vibe with them)

#

and my worst nightmare is going to pull for yidhari and then getting taken to double soft pity and blowing my entire savings on a character i didn't even want that badly

wispy goblet
#

Do you have any copies of Manato sig?

rapid bough
#

only 1

#

i'd be using the event wengine

wispy goblet
#

The event w-engine is pretty weak for her tbh
She doesn't EX enough to maintain stacks
W1 Manato sig might be better but I don't know the math

#

For what it's worth Yidhari has done very well for me without sig
I do have W5 Manato sig, to be fair

rapid bough
#

i'm sure she'll do fine

#

i'm just not sure she'll do better than m0w1 yixuan lol

wispy goblet
#

Maybe on Hunter

#

Are you interested in Promeia or Silly?

rapid bough
#

too early to say for either

wispy goblet
#

Or making rash predictions about Velima, Norma, or Dorothy Remeille?

rapid bough
#

probably yes for promeia, s-billy will depend on what he actually does and where he fits into the roster

#

well velina and pink hair girl are hot so automatically yes i'd like to pull them, but ultimately their role in the meta will decide whether i do

wispy goblet
#

How many pulls are you sitting on currently?

rapid bough
#

something around 200

wispy goblet
#

Any banked guarantees or pity?

rapid bough
#

nope

wispy goblet
#

hmm
Well, if Promeia really is second half
You should be able to secure Yidhari or Seed
and still build enough pulls to guarantee Promeia

rapid bough
#

well yeah i'm not really concerned with getting any given characters that are set to release soon

#

but i don't want to spend pulls just because i can either lol

wispy goblet
#

How bad will you feel about doing a waifu pull with little to no intent to build or play someone?

rapid bough
#

pretty bad which is why i'm struggling with yidhari

wispy goblet
#

You're not getting Aria, right?

rapid bough
#

nope

wispy goblet
#

There's an upcoming Shiyu or two where you might use Yixuan for the Aria fight
and then use Yidhari for the Sheer fight

rapid bough
#

perhaps

#

and my worst nightmare is going to pull for yidhari and then getting taken to double soft pity and blowing my entire savings on a character i didn't even want that badly
given this possibility is really what frightens me, what i'll probably do is pull for yidhari hoping to win the 50, and if i lose i'll just bank the guarantee for the future

wispy goblet
#

Do you have Banyue or Manato built?

rapid bough
#

i don't have banyue at all and my manato is level 50 lol, i only got him far enough to get the 3 standard pulls

wispy goblet
#

Miracle ten pull easy

#

I'm thinking about getting Yidhari sig myself

rapid bough
wispy goblet
#

Pulls are tight though
So I'll probably have to skip

summer hornet
versed pawn
#

My brother legit has no anomaly units other then burnice

#

But most of the attackers and stunners

#

So he usually pulls arround those characters

#

I have all anomaly units but pretty much no attacker

#

I have a rupture team tho

#

But pulling for a attacked is kinda PGR_AlphaCry for me

#

Most of the time I can just brute force content since I get mindscapes and engines in characters

#

Like legit no team for primordial but yixuan still clears despite ether resist

rapid bough
#

esp given you have rupture (yixuan right?) which has a hella similar playstyle

digital marlin
#

just going for nangong here and her weapon and im happy with that

#

already have yidhari and the other two i lost intrest in

#

im hoping i can just get off easy and not need to spend to much

#

i already do have gurantee due to losing to grace going for m1 on Yi xuan

#

sitting at 120 pulls or so right now and still havent done the even

wispy goblet
#

I am going to go for Nangong and sig
and then we'll see
I am considering waifu pulling for Cissia
it'll depend on how many pulls Nangong and sig take
I might not even be able to get sig

versed pawn
#

Gonna be to starved after nangong

#

Cissia looks so fun

#

And is such a fun character from the current patch alone to be arround

#

Really looking forward to the story

wispy goblet
#

she's starting to remind me of Jackal

digital marlin
#

again, not a fan of the concept in a game like htis

#

maybe they'll execute it better this time, but

rapid bough
#

all the new skins (other than privaty which had her own segment in the PV obviously)

summer hornet
#

Privaty got something?

rapid bough
#

a gacha skin lol

#

here (link spoilered for the reason you expect)

wispy goblet
#

that Sora skin is devious

rapid bough
#

yeah it's easily the best one

wispy goblet
#

they also got a tweet of the idle animation

rapid bough
#

it's in the PV too

wispy goblet
#

the one where it looks like she's letting out a silent one

old galleon
#

when did privaty become anis

wispy goblet
#

oh Privaty steps on us in her burst

rapid bough
#

i thought that was obvious given the angle necessary for you-know-what and the fact that she's got a mega pout

wispy goblet
#

okay but you see da foot

#

well her heels

#

but

rapid bough
#

jeb is that you

#

see people already complaining about the lack of jiggle in the arcana alt's shooting animation, because of course that's always a complaint among the nikke fanbase when it's absent

wispy goblet
#

this is devious behavior from shift up

rapid bough
#

but in their defense, it's less "no jiggle" and more "no motion at all"

#

like her entire sprite is basically a static image while she's shooting

#

which is weird and makes me wonder if they just recorded something janky/early dev or with transform effects off and put it in the PV without noticing

old galleon
#

clearly arcana is so strong she gets to ignore the laws of physics

rapid bough
#

she does actually have a chair in combat that she props her gun on to shoot from lol

#

she obeys physics even more than others

rapid bough
# wispy goblet this is devious behavior from shift up

re: the branch UI in the background

if the route divergence between arcana/privaty is early and focuses specifically on the one you choose while avoiding breaking the heart of the other then they should avoid the issue they encountered with dazzling cupid

#

i would like to believe they learned their lesson from that event but god knows with shift up

#

like, dating sim gameplay in nikke? obvious path to go down given the audience and the way the game is written, no issue with it in theory and tbh i'm surprised they've attempted it so little

#

but their first attempt at it just clashed big time with the harem fantasy that they obviously want to inject and it honestly ended kinda sad (realistic, but sad... and i don't think anyone playing nikke is here for realism as it pertains to romance lmao)

#

and tbh, the fact that they chose two nikkes who are quite possessive of the commander and have open distaste toward the thought of not being exclusive with him does not inspire confidence. idk how you write branching routes with them in a dating sim without hurting the one not chosen

wispy goblet
#

Khaios out here relishing the opportunity to make Privaty cry

rapid bough
#

she made marian cry so it's only fair

#

hm

#

ae stream from this morning looks odd

#

no playable freebie from ode to origin was announced (could be they're just keeping spiri/chelika under wraps, or could be they won't be playable at all)

#

mighty alter announced, but kit is a bit ehh at first glance

#

grenfaa upgraded so that all crafts are double instead of it being rng, which is good

#

but they framed it as him getting a stellar awakening lmao

#

(he's not a playable character)

#

hell if they made any of the resttin beasts playable i'd expect it to be brasah or zestah

#

and, in a rare occurrence, they announced a nerf

#

white key dungeon chest that gives skip tickets will be changed to a random amount instead of the 5 it currently gives

#

(i assume elzion chest will be untouched)

#

it's not super surprising bc skip tickets are a subscription award, but like

#

first off, plenty of more modern gachas have skips built in

#

even fuckin granblue fantasy (which is several years older than ae) has a skip system

#

(that doesn't cost tickets or some other resource to do)

#

meanwhile, in fgo

#

anyway, all of that is to say that i'm not a huge fan of ae's implementation of skips, but the dungeon chest having 5 of them didn't need to be touched

#

instead, they could just add something else (probably related to starcharts) in subscription awards

#

man i'm gonna have a lot to say whenever they drop their next survey lol

#

anyway, really hoping spiri, chelika, or both become playable with the new update

#

Yeah, the last character in every row is a flex spot lol

old galleon
#

aight so note that a lot of my recommendations are based on you not having the character; dupes aside from favorite item dupes should be de-prioritized

#

elysion: signal is kinda low priority; if you like her as a character and want her to have her, that's fine, but if not, i'd suggest swapping her out for just about any other elysion character

#

tactical vesti is good in mobbing, maid mast is a good buffer (esp in boss fights and raid content), maid anchor forms a duo with maid mast

#

miranda is situationally good for certain attackers in bosses, and if you don't have dkw, i'd try for her as a b1

#

(note that miranda needs favorite item)

slow raft
#

i mightve let 13 sanity potions expire in endfield

old galleon
#

one sec, got pinged in rulings

#

aight

#

you could justifiably remove marciana for any of the above mentioned too (again assuming you're not pulling just to pull a character you like); she's not bad, but with a more developed roster, i at least don't use her much

#

helm is good, label is situationally good in arena, ninja delta is okay

#

missilis: tia good, ein good, qeq and liter dupes are okay but you could justifiably swap them out if you're missing anyone important in missilis

#

flora falls into the signal/marciana conversation earlier: keep if you want her for her character, can replace if you want a stronger gameplay pick

#

if you care at all about arena, you'll eventually want jackal

#

idk if drake event is still running but if it's not, then if you care about shotgun team in raids, she's also worth grabbing dupes of for her favorite item

wispy goblet
#

I think it still is?

old galleon
#

idk missilis is harder for me to recommend for

#

feels like recommending laplace for her favorite item is scraping the bottom of the barrel or something

#

tetra: rouge, blanc, bunny ade, bready all good

wispy goblet
#

Missilis has fewer top-top tiers compared to the other manfacturers

old galleon
#

exia if you want her favorite item is good

#

might suggest pushing moran for hers if you don't have it yet tho

#

cannot overstate how cracked moran fi is

wispy goblet
#

Liter, Naga, and Tia aren't at the very top of the food chain anymore

#

and it's mostly downhill from there outside of more niche or specific strategies

old galleon
#

oh right tove is missilis

wispy goblet
#

Quency: Escape Queen and Ein might be their next best all-purpose units

old galleon
#

same as drake, if you care about shotgun team, you'll want her favorite item

#

then the elephant in the room

#

pilgrim/overspec: rapi good, nayuta good, scarlet good if you care about arena

#

grave isn't bad but among pilgrim b2s i'd much more often recommend nayuta (even if you have crown)

wispy goblet
#

does Regi have Siren yet

old galleon
#

i'm assumign you have crown bc if you didn't you'd probably already have her there

old galleon
#

if you don't have crown, she shoudl be there somewhere

wispy goblet
#

also Snow White: Heavy Arms is more pressing than Snow White classic if you don't have her yet

old galleon
#

same for little mermaid

old galleon
#

snow white: gundam reference is much more generally good

wispy goblet
#

(also in her specific niche she is very good anyway)

#

Red Hood shows her age a little but she's still very good
less important than RRH, Crown, Siren, Nayuta, or Snow White: Heavy

#

if already have SBS, Liberalio is her best B3 partner
if you don't have SBS, SBS will take you very far in a lot of the PvE content

old galleon
#

yeah teh problem with pilgrim wishlist insofar as any problems are created with it is that there are so many good ones that you're incurring opportunity cost by virtue of only having 5 slots

wispy goblet
#

Cinderella is still the best all-purpose boss killer in the game
but she's a little awkward in regular PvE content

#

Even more reason to get her

#

Yeah apparently

rapid bough
#

i was gonna pull for them both anyway but at least i'll get a near-BIS team out of it

#

i assume the third member of that team will be chisa who i don't have and probably won't get any time soon

rapid bough
# rapid bough arcana kit

anyway TL;DR here: she's definitely the new BIS shotgun team generic B2. there's a world where grave might be better against water weak because s.doro does so much damage, but against everything else arcana probably clears. tbh her own self-buffs and personal damage seem kinda mid but she gives +55% attack damage to the rest of the team during burst and +39% ATK for all bursts after the first which is nutty

Chisa stocks keep rising

Elite operator Mantra first joined Babel at Kal'tsit's invitation. She fought in the Kazdel Civil War and became one of Rhodes Island's first elite operators after the war.

this is the equivalent of a waifu pull for me

i will have qiuyuan

Oh shit hes going in

#

there goes all my savings but i followed my heart

digital marlin
#

man finally has a non fusioin DPS

#

true! even if he's a subdps

#

first echo i ever level for qiuyuan is this

#

it was meant to be

digital marlin
#

he went in

rapid bough
#

he's a long way out from being even remotely usable lol

#

but he's got a nightmare echo farm so i can get a few shots at his echoes for him per day for free

glossy latch
#

Now you just need to build the rest of his echoes

rapid bough
#

apparently moonlit clouds is optimal for galbrena+SK teams and not law of harmony despair

glossy latch
#

Time for the echo mines

rapid bough
#

no time for the character ascension mines lol

#

bro's level 40

glossy latch
#

And? nyaruhodo

#

Also tbh I doubt law of harmony is that big of a damage loss for Galbrena

rapid bough
#

it probably isn't so i'm not going to sweat it too much

#

especially in a world where i don't have the spare stamina to farm echoes so the nightmare farm for law of harmony is preferable

glossy latch
#

Fair

rapid bough
#

oh right the shop reset

#

i have 7 more pulls left than i thought i did nyaruhodo

#

gonna save the weapon pulls for prolly hiyuki's sig next patch

#

or maybe phrolova, if she reruns. since i know she's extremely sig reliant

#

welp, here's hoping i don't get spoiled on the 3.2 wuwa story in the next few days before i have the time to play through it

#

Hey I had an excuse

rapid bough
#

bro wtf he makes the game go kurosawa mode when his heavy attack combo is ready

#

this isn't your average everyday aurafarming

#

this is advanced aurafarming

rapid bough
glossy latch
#

Like different attacks have different aurafarm animations

rapid bough
#

yeah so i'm noticing lol

#

great and honestly entirely needless attention to detail considering you'd never see 99% of these in combat since they require you to go idle

#

but i am here for it

#

aemeath's idle animations (especially the one where she turns into a virtual chibi and floats around your screen) are also fantastic

glossy latch
#

Yeah

#

Tbh when you actually play him youll mostly not be seeing a whole lot of anything

#

Qiuyuans animations are a lot lmao

rapid bough
#

how thematic nyaruhodo

#

but honestly nothing new

#

this game's visual clutter is off the charts

#

i can't see shit with any other characters either

#

and that's even with damage numbers turned off

#

but taking some enemy hits in return for satisfying combat fx is a price i am willing to pay

glossy latch
#

There are some characters that are better about it

#

Galbrena, ironically enough

rapid bough
#

i'm not entirely sure i agree, the heavy attack in the middle of her juiced attack chain fills your whole screen lol

#

but i've also had way more trouble timing her dodges than with any other character

glossy latch
#

It does, but its also really hard to get hit out of it lmao

#

Oh yeah her dodges are special

#

You can cancel out of her attacks into dodges instantly and vice versa

#

In fact, its optimal to follow up the last hit of her attack with a dodge right when she does the kick but before the explosion

#

You get one extra big circle attack if you do

rapid bough
#

i have definitely not devoted enough time to learning how to play galbrena

#

all i know is that she's deceptively difficult to play properly

#

at a glance she looks like a very button mash, basic attack spam type character

#

but the importance of her special dodges and animation cancels means she has a hella high skill ceiling

old galleon
#

I am contemplating
do I attempt to prefarm Cissia in the hopes I pull her

@idle grove I've only known Orphelune for 4 story nodes but if anything happens to her I will kill everyone in this room including myself

old galleon
#

somehow managed to soft lock myself and now i can't progress in ode act 4

#

already sent them a bug report bc it's obviously not intended

#

so there are a series of maps where there's a puzzle you have to use split parties to progress through

#

the issue is that on already opened paths, the game still allows you to use your replenishment and thirst items

#

i accidentally did this, consuming my remaining replenishment item, and now i can't get past the fire in the first screen

#

game also let me use my thirst item similarly so i have no thirst or replenishment across any of my 3 teams

#

someone found the superboss fight for ode to origin act 4

#

it seems to be a superboss rush featuring all of mul an-kun, ki-ka, and nab-zu, with divided parties for each of them

#

the divided parties may or may not require aldo, guildna, and kamlanage for the respective fights (if they do, it's really gonna suck bc kamlanage is stuck on nab-zu, where he sucks, instead of ki-ka, where he's good)

#

i don't immediately see how non-gacha does this one

#

new character is good but even she can only go on one team

#

oh also guildna on ki-ka is troll

#

i mean at least he can debuff?

#

still sucks ass for that fight

#

aldo is good on an-kun and that's it

old galleon
#

lets you use kamlanage against mul ki-ka instead of nab-zu, for starters

#

i wonder how new character does against nab-zu

#

aldo can be made to work against nab-zu as well but he's probably better against an-kun

#

not being forced into guildna would be a blessing tbh

#

he's not bad but he's not really built for these fights

#

ironically, since an-kun is definitely trying to incentivize using guildna

old galleon
#

hp stats of an-kun and ki-ka were significantly buffed

#

an-kun has 171b per bar, ki-ka has 163b per bar (raised from mid-50b each in their regular fights)

#

nab-zu is unchanged in the buffer shell phases, idk how much it has in the final countdown phase

#

that is actually very annoying for the an-kun fight specifically

#

final phase of an-kun has flat damage reduction based on how many hits your skill has, with each hit doing 25% less damage up until subsequent hits do 0

#

so the first hit is full damage, second hit is 25% reduced, third hit is 50% reduced, etc

#

so it's a giant hp sponge, where the main way of doing damage quickly is to use a bunch of high hit count skills, but the final phase of the fight actively punishes that

#

lol

I take this visual novel routing very seriously

routing visual novel ends? real shit

you can't really expect anything as deep or broad as a true VN from what is effectively a nikke minigame so don't overthink it too much lol

not a lot by lost belt 6 standards
huh??

#

how long is this story?

Oh boy I get to show the screen shot

#

Thats lost belt 6

#

Oh nvm I mixed it up with Manchester

long tree
#

It helps that its actually good

summer hornet
#

The place where ||Mash has amnesia and gets briefly engaged to the lion||

#

....unless that's not Manchester either

long tree
#

Well i mean like most of its good fgo still has some troubles with pacing because it refuses to change anything about its engine ever

old galleon
#

at least it has skip button

#

if you're in a hurry and want to read it later or something

summer hornet
#

You can reread everything with ease, and change your choices on rereads too

old galleon
#

funny thing about choices in lb6

#

||they actually affect certain dialogue after oberon's reveal||

long tree
#

Yeah if you hit the right ones you get bonus dialogue

old galleon
#

ye, the unskippable ones that have you optionally treat oberon as suspicious, mainly

long tree
#

I wonder if that oberon fellow is not all he seems, let me google him on images and see his summonable units final splash art

#

Hmm

old galleon
#

while you're at it you should go check his second summer art

long tree
#

I am not interested in the moth

runic ether
long tree
#

Hes not even the antagonist

#

Not the main one at least

runic ether
#

damn

#

oh

long tree
#

Shit is just kinda going his way the whole time

#

And by the time you call him out on what he was scheming, its too late anyway

#

Bro wins and then is immediately summoned by the guy he just spent what he thought were his last moments of life monologuing on

runic ether
#

i understand the art i saw of him making out w the fgo protag (male) now

summer hornet
#

(TBF there are some extremely valid misdirects)

#

||Oberon protecting Castoria at the end of part 2 convinced me it was gonna be a whole 'revive as a bad guy' situation||

long tree
#

He just cannot be bothered to put the effort in to go against you cause its easier for him to just do what you want and then leave

#

Hes gonna complain but he does it

runic ether
#

hes a bratty sub!? god damn that is kind of progressive for fgo including annoying gays like that in their story

#

actually u know what it makes sense they have made characters like astolfo, and mordred who gets actively upset at being called a woman

#

plus like

#

vaguely gestures at shirou and archer

long tree
#

Fgo is surprisingly progressive sometimes

summer hornet
long tree
#

Sometimes they fumble it but its usually not out of contempt but generally just a misunderstanding of how to treat certain characters

#

I think the only time I outright remember their being community controversy is with regards to caenis

runic ether
#

love that for gil's only real long time partner is non-binary clay

#

i knew he was my goat for a reason

long tree
#

Gils lover is both so compliant and trusting to him that he barely needs to speak at all and also technically counts as a weapon in his huge ass arsenal. I know that man was sobbing tears of joy in his eyes when he met enkidu

runic ether
#

not outwardly that'd be ooc

long tree
#

Oh for real yeah he'd just be staring into space

runic ether
#

but internally that yippee creature and the man on floor bawling image was just like playing in his head the whole time

#

might be my own gil bias but out of fsf, ive been enjoying enkidu a ton

long tree
#

Gil may be the most fraudulent man alive but hes got good taste in partners and he has got both rizz and aura

digital marlin
runic ether
#

thats the best part of him

old galleon
#

finally got a schrodinger drop

wispy goblet
#

I had been hoping for a miracle ten pull

#

but I'll take it

old galleon
#

verily

wispy goblet
#

I'll do another ten pull after I get the tickets from the shop

#

and then I'll go from there

#

not exactly the Exotic member I was looking for, either

#

not the Elysion member I was looking for, either

#

still
two SSRs in 40 standard pulls

#

that's enough for tonight

i admit the sora one is strongly tempting me but it's just so difficult to justify because she's not used literally anywhere

wispy goblet
#

only need one more Viper copy for her favorite item

wispy goblet
rapid bough
#

it'd take the favorite item of the century to buff sora to relevance

wispy goblet
#

you know they can do it

#

also solo raid started

rapid bough
#

they can, but they're more likely to just give her an alt that's relevant

old galleon
rapid bough
#

wat

#

are you still getting the login error from your house

old galleon
#

yes and i'm like 99% sure it's something with my isp

wispy goblet
#

brain check
does this boss have parts

rapid bough
#

what's the boss again

old galleon
#

but i can't get on nikke, blablalink, or nikke-en on this internet

wispy goblet
#

Crystal Chamber

rapid bough
#

yes it has parts

wispy goblet
#

so I want Winter Diesel to burst first

rapid bough
#

that you will aim to destroy regularly

old galleon
#

what comps are you even gonna run for it

wispy goblet
#

I dunno
still early stages

old galleon
#

i'm thinking about splitting rapi, diesel, and mihara into three different teams

#

and going from there

wispy goblet
#

for the proper runs, ye

rapid bough
#

i'm pretty sure you always want x.diesel to burst second no?

wispy goblet
#

but this is just stages I through III

old galleon
#

ye i'm talking about when challenge drops

wispy goblet
#

I thought it was you want her to burst first for parts, burst second for no parts

old galleon
#

1-7 are piss easy at this point

#

i'm old enough to remember when i struggled with stage 3 lol

rapid bough
wispy goblet
#

oh it's always second

#

huh

old galleon
#

ye diesel's self buff is so much stronger bursting second that i can't justify bursting first either

rapid bough
#

the difference between bursting first and second is a huge sustained damage buff

wispy goblet
rapid bough
#

oh that's right we'll be vibing to this boss theme all solo raid

old galleon
#

i've only ever fought crystal chamber above or close to recommended power so solo raid's gonna make me learn this thing's mechanics lol

rapid bough
#

man i wish nikke wasn't so inconsistent on lobby screen quality/compression

#

the privaty gacha skin's lobby screen is noticeably higher res than basically all of my other lobby screens lol

#

(it is also peak)

wispy goblet
#

I see
so you did get it after all

#

It should be here for a while
so I'll get it later
when it lines up with my credit card billing cycle nicer

rapid bough
#

even before pulling for arcana

#

come to think of it i'm gonna have to upgrade and gear arcana alt for solo raid huh

#

as much as i love arcana, the visuals for this new alt seem really half-baked to me

#

her shawl is noticeably lower res than the rest of her outfit, and her shooting pose is more like a static image + her long hair randomly disappears when she moves from cover to shooting

old galleon
#

oh hey we already have a whale clear of the gauntlet

almost 24 hours after i fell into the corridor of time water bug, they dropped a patch that (hopefully) resolves it

so maybe i'll be able to finish ode to origin story tonight after all

okay they did fix it, simply by adding a room reset feature

You know i heard people talk about "cost" when they mentioned clears in hoyo games before but i knew to completely dksregard it once i knew it was a community created system

welt is currently so strong for 0 cycles that the entire tuopaimif server is essentially crashing out and trying to rewrite the cost system just so he cant be used in runs

my charge team is currently a bit underleveled and i havent been upkeeping it for now
currently focusing on tremor

Goat still has it

down to focusing on lccb ish even over my other charge ids

#

i was aware but i wasnt "aware" of how much tremor she applies lol

slow raft
#

yeah i used her back in the day in railway

runic ether
#

the one thing im bothered about tremor rn is how much it feels to me at least

#

that it relies on maost

slow raft
#

are you sure you dont mean rupture

runic ether
#

i was gonna correct and say "for big numbers" but ig this is true of rupture too

#

the unfortunate part is that even if faust is given something like a thumb id idt they ever outspeed maost for everlasting

slow raft
#

oh are peopel actually using maost everlasting in tremor

#

thats so funny

silver osprey
#

Yeah bc regret is super slow

slow raft

i just play like a normal person usually
