Especially with the highs of characters like Rubio & Lavinia

Who did pretty well at being inspired by the real life Giovanni Falcone

It’s also pretty hard hitting when a character actually is shown committing suicide for a grand cause. And most stories either can’t pull it off or are afraid to try

Since most stories naturally don’t want to make it seem like a good thing to have done in any way

The fact that such a mistake like allerdale was written within somewhat a close timeframe to this one is jarring

And not many stories could’ve pulled off the story beats this one did

I know genshin couldn’t

Paimon would make a suicide be a comedy act

With a bang flag

[ebon sphinx]

I love how that scene has Emperor speak out what some of us were thinking. That Zaaro is a petty, crying sore loser

made even better by how Zaaro as a boss is a joke too

[violet vortex]

Great song though

[violet vortex]

@plain vessel Oh yeah I never said the full team for abyss 12 I just said Raiden/Nahida.

Raiden/Kaz/Bennet/Xq
Nahida/Yae/Zhongli/Yelan

I do think it was a fun abyss at least but not nearly as hard as people keep saying it is

[plain vessel]

wait

you cleared the heralds

with that?

[violet vortex]

Yeah

[plain vessel]

oh wait ZL

nvm

that's why it wasn't that bad for you

[violet vortex]

Yes I apply shield to high damage enemies

I can’t assume everyone complaining about floor 12 is because they don’t own things

Well I usually don’t use shield for most high damage stuff but I saw there were so many shields so it fit

Geo useful at that point

[plain vessel]

heralds are so shit to play against without a shielder

but ZL is stuck on my first half

cuz first half is Xiao

[violet vortex]

I don’t main any specific carry that’s attached to a character so I don’t share this problem

[plain vessel]

my second half is international so like

well I guess my first half could've been electro charged

[violet vortex]

Work smarter not harder

At some point Zhongli is not a damage loss

[plain vessel]

rn I'm trying out 6 character party

it seems possible

[violet vortex]

And that point is when 3 enemies with high damage and area coverage are attacking at once

[plain vessel]

it's just the heralds are so shit holy fuck

[violet vortex]

Reduce the amount of time spent dodging out of the way

[plain vessel]

since my first half is still Xiao

[violet vortex]

It also invalidates most of thundering

[plain vessel]

thundering isn't hard

[violet vortex]

And zhongli is a neutral shield break for all 3 phases of final floor dude

So he just naturally fits into making that side pretty simple stuff

I think the hardest part of this abyss was the heralds since the rest is whatever

[plain vessel]

heralds definitely the hardest part

last chamber is decently ass too tho

[violet vortex]

Hard disagree those shields lasted like 5 seconds each

And the dude was stationary for most of it

[plain vessel]

element checks are just ass imo

[violet vortex]

Zhongli

[plain vessel]

also 4 conecrated beasts

[violet vortex]

Everyone hates on geo until it actually has a purpose

[plain vessel]

if not for my Xiao comp that must be kinda ass innit

[violet vortex]

Felt fine to me

Raiden good character

I definitely used strong things and characters for it but they’re not the only strong things and characters so you know

[plain vessel]

it's hard because you need to use strong things

can't use 6 man 4 star only

[violet vortex]

I restarted twice on the first floor heralds to get used to it and that was it really

Wow the only endgame content in the game that has damage and health scale to your build capability

Wants you to have finished things?

Wild stuff out here

[plain vessel]

okay why the fuck does the birb die so fast

my energy

[violet vortex]

Just slow kill it then

[plain vessel]

I didn't expect it to die within a Xiao ult and a half okay

[violet vortex]

Internet takes so many things to the extreme though people really make this abyss sound like it’s rage inducing when it’s more ele checks you

Which I would kind of hope this game would do

When the point of the gameplay loop is the elements

And how they interact

[plain vessel]

my standard of an abyss that is hard

is an abyss that I can't do a 6 man 4 star run

I don't think abyss should be hard with a well built comp

the fact that you can struggle a lot even with multiple well built meta characters is kinda ass

[violet vortex]

My view of things are just different

Hard to me would be having to optimize stuff and play really well for a clear

2 retries on first floor and swapping 1-2 characters around is not that wild

If you add conditions and restrictions it’s naturally going to increase the difficulty. But can’t say they were making this abyss around 3man teams with character restrictions

[plain vessel]

that's my standard because my account is hella cracked for a f2p

[violet vortex]

So it should feel difficult to pull off. To me that seems like the desired effect of a challenge run

I’m technically not f2p since I have a couple monthlies I did for a bit

Just save a lot now

Back upto 300 something pulls

[plain vessel]

[violet vortex]

My approach to all gachas really

If I need constant gacha to be enjoying it then I shouldn’t be playing it

And it removes the issue of not getting what I want

[plain vessel]

true

I used to be a pull on everything guy but now I'm definitely more of a saver

[violet vortex]

Hope they keep this level of difficulty on abyss going forward or make it harder even

That 2 retries and moving 1-2 characters around is more than other abysses usually call for

[plain vessel]

okay third chamber is a lot easier than I remembered tbh

I had like 50 seconds remaining with 3 man teams

[violet vortex]

I like the character
They’re fun

My two crazy criteria

[plain vessel]

I don't have any definite criteria for who I pull tbh

my priority is Waifu but that's usually like 1/2 characters in a game every 2 years

besides that I mostly pull for meta

[ebon sphinx]

more...it's because I have come to realize you should only pull for what makes you happy

if you aren't happy, there's no point

[plain vessel]

what makes me happy is what obliterates the enemy the fastest

[ebon sphinx]

that's fine

[plain vessel]

if the waifu is extremely shit I might be turned off

[young void]

Dehya moment

[quaint arch]

@plucky jay

👌

[plain vessel]

I was saving up for her

[young void]

so many people hyped for her, they saw she's the worst chara released, and skipped and in the extreme cases, some people quit

[plain vessel]

I didn't expect her to be meta but like

holy fuck

standard 5 star

and arguably worst character in the game

imo she's like top 3 worst

[young void]

definitely

[violet vortex]

I like her in burning I use her for abyss every so often

Not great but does the job I want

[plain vessel]

for burning isn't it better to use double anemo and benny?

[violet vortex]

I like her spread of pyro better than bennet

And I use overburn with an electro usually

[quaint arch]

shit bot

[plucky jay]

Nice lol

[sharp tartan]

LIBROMANCER

[violet vortex]

I considered doing this, it’s incredibly rng and not really fun

Or hard

[tribal thicket]

I just realised

China dominating the gacha market

[violet vortex]

She’s a fairly hands off unit so she just solos most of everything

And since you do it all as a hard 1 deployment it’s not like you need good timing

You just lose to map rng usually getting too many enemies she can’t handle and not enough hp stack

well JP is doing well mainly in home market but not so much overseas

less so compared to CN competition

[sharp tartan]

Heaven burns red global never

[plucky jay]

Hot

[hot rampart]

[ebon sphinx]

I just kind of notice that...most gacha games of JP are like uh tie ins to existing IPs or franchises backed by big studios

[hot rampart]

cashgrabs

[ebon sphinx]

Cygames is notable in how their gacha IPs tend to be original

[plucky jay]

Granblue hitting pretty hard

I’m joking

[hot rampart]

granblue is hard to gauge because web browser moment

[plucky jay]

True

[ebon sphinx]

their money from GBF or uh the original card/RoB style Deremasu alongside RoB definitely went into funding more big stuff

[plucky jay]

I’ve never bothered to look but Granblue numbers aren’t on the list prob cuz web browser

[hot rampart]

they are the reason why spark system exist in current gachashits due to the monkey gate incident

[plucky jay]

[ebon sphinx]

whether that's stuff like Uma Musume or even Cygames Pictures, their ambitious anime studio with the vision of not only aiming to be a leading studio in only 5-10 years but also producing quality animation without murdering their employees

their current airing anime is U149 meanwhile and shows that they too, love to sob

[plucky jay]

Sobbing is good

It’s how I get the Gacha to give me what I want

[hot rampart]

uhhh

yeah... haha

😭

[plucky jay]

Yep that’s definitely how it works

[slate stratus]

gay sex archetype

[vague sail]

What the fuck is this meme

This can't be a real kit

I refuse to believe hg releasing this

[hot rampart]

i hate S1 is on deployment skill like???

why cant it just be like Aak s1 holy shit

at least u can use her as funny sniper wannabe

[vague sail]

Soooooo like the higher Attack speed you get the more you get stunned so you actually have less attack speed since you attack less because you get stunned more

[hot rampart]

but nooooo on deployment

ouh yeah her s2

yeah that one is funny

really no hope but man they really memeing hard with s2 and kill her off with shit S1 too

[vague sail]

I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt and make s copium guess that she's going to synergize with a future op

That's why she looks bad now

Aak looks like a good op in front of her

[hot rampart]

thats the thing aak is good

this is ifrit archetype all over again

[vague sail]

Maybe executor alter is op af

So they had to balance it out with her

[tropic creek]

[hot rampart]

uwaaa another hot 5* but utterly shit kit bweeeehhh

fuck man im crying

fuck u HG

[vague sail]

She looks like a nut job

[hot rampart]

god why her s1 doesnt need to be on deploy holy shit why why why

[vague sail]

[hot rampart]

cant even cope to use her as shitty sniper

no gotta make her redeploy shenanigans

[vague sail]

Maybe she's usable in is3

snorts a big huff of copium

[hot rampart]

maybe her module will reduce her deployment time

snorts copium

[violet vortex]

So her attacks have a stun chance, double attack, & ignore defense on them

[hot rampart]

yeah

[violet vortex]

Wish skill 1 wasn’t on deployment since it would be strong if it wasn’t

[hot rampart]

yes it would have been very good

but they dont want people to have that

[violet vortex]

Skill 2 kind of meme because of self stunning herself and the one she buffs

I think they’re getting a little too heavy on fast redeploy units lately

[hot rampart]

and +aspd making u more susceptible to the stun

[violet vortex]

Like I enjoy the concept as much as the next guy

But you know

I do also like other things

And if you use too many of them it eventually reaches the point of bandaid strategy

If the talent is going to be a constant among this geek thing then the 6* version is probably busted in the future

Since she seems good on the talent alone

[hot rampart]

i cant tell if u are fr or

its terrifying

[violet vortex]

On which part
I know she isn’t a fast redeploy unit I meant more an on deploy

[hot rampart]

the 6* geek part

she is 5* aak

[violet vortex]

Aak is a geek?

[hot rampart]

yes

[violet vortex]

Oh

[hot rampart]

aak is a geek

[violet vortex]

Well I didn’t know that

[hot rampart]

[violet vortex]

I haven’t used aak in forever

Guess that makes sense

[hot rampart]

yeah he is also meme

but good kind of meme not some useles piece of kit

[violet vortex]

This means she’s a ranged tile right

[hot rampart]

yes

[violet vortex]

Skill 1 sounds pretty good then but still kind of shitty to be on deployment

[plain vessel]

Aak is a meme except in like specific content

Where you need to buff Mylanr or Surtr or someone hard

[violet vortex]

Aak is great at what he does he just isn’t needed often

[plain vessel]

Also Aak module pogggggggggggggggggggggg

[violet vortex]

But yeah I definitely did not remember him

[hot rampart]

yes aak is playable

but this new geek is just sad to look at

[violet vortex]

Thought they were trying out a new archetype and the 5* was their usual testing grounds

[hot rampart]

this is just similar to

5* ifrit

if u dont know who that is

theres ur reason

[plain vessel]

corroserum or whatever

[hot rampart]

[plain vessel]

idk what he does I just know Ifrit is a lot better

[violet vortex]

She also doesn’t have a way to self heal looks like

[vague sail]

surely they wouldnt powercreep texas anytime soon

not like you somehow can

[violet vortex]

That would be worrying

[plain vessel]

no way Texalter gets creeped

even if there's another OP fast redeploy

[vague sail]

well ultimately i dont believe powercreep is a problem in AK right ?

[plain vessel]

they'll replace Phantom in the 3 op specialist

or be a part of 4 op specialist

[hot rampart]

powercreep itself is not a problem in a pve game

[plain vessel]

it's a problem because content is starting to get harder

[hot rampart]

its unavoidable to have powercreep in this kind of game

[vague sail]

outside of CC?

[plain vessel]

as a result

[vague sail]

dont think so

[plain vessel]

true

[vague sail]

unless you mean just CC difficulty

[violet vortex]

Not too worried about powercreep as long as characters like Jaye are still breaking the boundaries of what a character should be able to do

[plain vessel]

I guess it really isn't a problem

[violet vortex]

But Texas is absurdly op and them powercreeping her would just be her+1 or something

[hot rampart]

jaye and myrtle are their biggest mistake at trying archetypes
its why 5* becomes the victim of shitty practice kits

[plain vessel]

you need to release like

3 fast redeploy more OP than texas

for her to be less relevant

[vague sail]

what archtype has the weakest units

[violet vortex]

Any enemy that can’t one shot Jaye gets to experience him healing back to full in record time

[plain vessel]

and they already release Kirito which decreases the chance even more

[violet vortex]

Aoe casters?

[hot rampart]

abjurer

[plain vessel]

Skadi archetype but at least Skadi is good in ah now I guess

modal caster

[vague sail]

whats abjurer again

[hot rampart]

[violet vortex]

Tsukinogi

And Silence alter is also that now

[vague sail]

Ohh.....

[plucky jay]

Quercus

The funny supporter that turns into a healer during skill

[violet vortex]

Silence pretty good though

[plain vessel]

we don't have a good duelist defender but that would just be a numbers unit

[violet vortex]

So there is that

[vague sail]

we dont really need a duelist defender with penance existing do we

[violet vortex]

Eunectes became okay post module

[vague sail]

just S3 and fuck shit up

[plain vessel]

for aoe casters Mostima has a good niche at least

[violet vortex]

There is maybe a world where something needs to be deployed on defensively and Penace wouldn’t work due to no rampup

[plain vessel]

quartz archetype but that's new so it doesn't count

[violet vortex]

I forget it’s called splash and aoe is something else all the time

I think aoe casters are the worse when you consider how many units it has and how terrible the concept was executed

[plain vessel]

true

[vague sail]

if they really wanted to fix something they always can

[plain vessel]

why do they cost so much when they're generally worse than st casters

for 6 star units I mean

[hot rampart]

a thing of the past

[plucky jay]

Module

[hot rampart]

aoe casters was

good for early game progression

u know when everyone is doing shit tier damage

someone who does shit tier damage

but aoe

[violet vortex]

They’re the only concept that didn’t scale too well with the game advancing

[hot rampart]

ye

[violet vortex]

Putting up defenders being healed by healers while a splash caster does damage

[vague sail]

https://youtu.be/sh3-ohuIkIQ

shes cute at least

right guys

[hot rampart]

shes hot

[vague sail]

has that evil grin on her face

[versed compass]

paprika skin is too adorable aaaaaa

also the new girl pretty cute

[plain vessel]

You can combo Spuria with Lumen if their HP is drained

[versed compass]

just combo her with heavy hitting sniper

[plain vessel]

Also Paprika skin just makes her look like Eyja to me

[versed compass]

i heard that before the skin comes

they have similar coloring that make them alike generally

[hot rampart]

and hairstyle

[versed compass]

am really sad the 5* geek dont kill alies
i wanted aak and her to kill each other reeee

[hot rampart]

i hate the fact that she only applies it to sniper

[plain vessel]

They have the same expression now too

[ebon sphinx]

W and Ines's daughter is qt in that skin

[plain vessel]

Buffing Lee with her would be too OP perhaps

[hot rampart]

its ines daughter and W's lil sister

[ebon sphinx]

Awesome, smooth like butter! Hehe, I didn't need any backup that time. Let's see what W and Ines have to say! d'aww

[hot rampart]

https://twitter.com/_Chuzenji_/status/1578108590836981760 bless chuzenji

Whose quote is that

[hot rampart]

paprika

[vague sail]

[ebon sphinx]

her being adopted family of ines/W isnt without basis mmkay

[tribal thicket]

yes very cute

[vague sail]

Now that's fine too

I can rest with all these M3s the past week

My material stock is suffering

[tribal thicket]

same

I M3ed 4 units

[vague sail]

managed to farm only 100 rocks

[violet vortex]

Still got 1k small rocks after upgrading everything

Didn’t bother farming mid rocks this event

Feels like a waste

[quaint arch]

I farm Alloy Blocks this event

Nothing else

[plain vessel]

Grim rock rich

[violet vortex]

Was 1500 before I did everything

Gonna be awhile before I run out now

Farmed stage 9 this event

[hallow garnet]

do we have exalter animations alrdy?

if he was a spec we could call him sexecutor

but this way he'll be gexecutor

or rexecutor

[hot rampart]

we dont yet

just call him executor nobody remembers his 5* version

[hallow garnet]

i do

he was one of my earliest e2s

[hot rampart]

same

[tribal thicket]

[fluid verge]

Wait wtf kroos momma has stun built into her

Omg a cheapish option against those flying fuckers

[wanton stratus]

She stuns?

Ayo she do

20% chance for 0,2 sec

[vague sail]

She's really op actually for is3

[wanton stratus]

I already have her E2 for the ‘free’ mats

Still lv1 and SL1 tho

[fluid verge]

Does she need e2

Or is e1 good ebough

[serene swallow]

i will not be getting skalter this day

[wanton stratus]

Welp

[tribal thicket]

I think May does too

That 4* sniper

[wanton stratus]

You sure? Doesn’t she just have slow?

[fluid verge]

May should be slow

[hot rampart]

May s1 slows
her s2 is also slows but has a chance to stun

[vague sail]

I mean you kinda want her to be e2

You shouldn't be struggling with mats aiur your s filthy whale

[hallow garnet]

i have been preaching this forever. shes one of the best sniper options for is3

[vague sail]

I even got her module

[hallow garnet]

me 2

[vague sail]

It's really good actually

[hallow garnet]

lv3 even

[ebon sphinx]

given her fast firing rate, it's easy for it to proc

[hallow garnet]

get her some atk buffer

cuz her s2 is only asp buff no atk

then she pops hard

[ebon sphinx]

the other one with a crit passive of same rarity is Greythroat but it's pure damage

[hot rampart]

greythroat forgotten

[ebon sphinx]

meanwhile Exia has an uncontrollable S3 and no crit passive but makes up for it with sheer volume of fire

it does cement her as the pure talent but not as skilled choice

[ebon sphinx]

...dammit

[ebon sphinx]

hmm...+210% stun duration

I never cleared this map in IS1

[hot rampart]

good luck

[ebon sphinx]

eh easy

i had the stacking damage hand on single target for artillerist/flinger

mainly artillerist

also a fuckton of ASPD and ingots

now you know why my comp is like that

now i have +125 ASPD

130+ ingots

on top of robbing Cannot

[bleak mirage]

Oh god

I hate this

[ebon sphinx]

lol I never cleared this one either

then again buffed Skullshatterer is just whatever conceptually

no bullshit mechanics

oh i see, less DP and higher redeployment

yeah, ded

him that is

cleared all starts, the only collectibles not unlocked are tied to various encounters...also 0 ingots on clearing floor 3

[ebon sphinx]

is Sora talking about Chiave's gang

[bleak mirage]

[tropic creek]

i barely played the game

give me some time

[violet vortex]

Character is boring to use

[tropic creek]

ive been on hiatus like 2 times now

[plucky jay]

Facts

[violet vortex]

Prefer Deepcolor

[plucky jay]

though I might have her at E2 90 with a mod I still hate Blue Woman

[lofty apex]

my ling is e2 90 mod3 with pots too

[young void]

Basically what Grim and James said

Despite her being hyped up to be one of the most broken ops

She's one of the least fun ops imo that I've ever used

[glacial breach]

I thought this was an eyja skin at a glance and then was sadg

[young void]

She's 1000% my biggest spark regret

[violet vortex]

I also think that now with Texas being a solo machine too she’s just a cooler version

[lofty apex]

i cant believe Grim's account is older than mine, im not Grim Prime

[violet vortex]

Of a broken one woman army

[young void]

Texas doesn't prevent you from using other ops and she's badass and cookas da pizzas

[plucky jay]

I dislike the idea of needing to play an entire map based around 1 op

[violet vortex]

Deepcolor carries hard though people sleep on her

Soloing floors 1/2 even on high ascension

[plucky jay]

Ling just eats up all the deploy slots, it’s too stale

[young void]

Using Fast redeploys are also just fun, which i why I really enjoyed using Phantom for a while

[plucky jay]

^

[tribal thicket]

True

Also James

Since you dislike my supp run

I'll do another one

[plucky jay]

good

much better

[young void]

Oh well phone about to die, cya nerdies later

[tribal thicket]

Bye loser

[plucky jay]

[tribal thicket]

Two cameras beat a wolf

[young void]

That's you, stinky Tsukinogi

Smell like beans

[tribal thicket]

Hush midget

Smell like shortie

[wanton stratus]

[tropic creek]

its okay, ur a Grim Prime in our minds

[lofty apex]

[tropic creek]

so much units to level up

[wanton stratus]

Just stop leveling ops bro

That’s what I did

[young void]

Oic Emma is late ak joiner

[wanton stratus]

And I’m rich now

[young void]

How peculiar

[tropic creek]

yes

[young void]

[tropic creek]

i started in like november, but went on hiatus like 2 times

between the limited banners

[young void]

[tropic creek]

[quaint arch]

Upcoming Module for CN

[violet vortex]

Seem mediocre

[quaint arch]

Anyone wanna recap of it?

Actually... If anyone wonder what Blemishine Upgrade is...

Mercy
||Blemishine can attack and will prioritize Sleeping enemies; Increase ATK to +%/++% when attacking Sleeping enemies**; Upon deployment, inflicts Sleep for (several seconds/ a longer period of time) on all ground enemies on the tile that she is deployed on**||

Basically, ||Expensive Kafka S1||

[ebon sphinx]

wow helidrop

||too bad she cant immediately use her skill no matter what since S2/S3 are charged up via getting hit||

[quaint arch]

|| ||

[plucky jay]

this is a

ima just do something else actually, yeah that sounds like a plan

[plain vessel]

Rate my starting SSS line up

[sharp tartan]

No suzuran /10

[plain vessel]

I don't have a Suzuran

And GG is such a hard carry so I can't not borrow her

Btw I pick A for everything except supporter which is on B

[violet vortex]

You’re using practically 0 draw

Looks terrible

[plain vessel]

After the points reduced to 10 I really didn't feel a need for the supporter spam strat

[violet vortex]

Don’t see how anyone came to that conclusion

It literally didn’t even change

It was 5 + draw

Now you get 15

[plain vessel]

No no

The points to get a new op went from 15 base to 10 base

[violet vortex]

The change makes it worse by like

4th cycle

Yeah I know

Supporter cycle is still

20x better than not using it

[plain vessel]

[violet vortex]

I never lose to rng

It’s like if pot of greed was a draw 3, then got nerfed to a draw 2 so people stopped using it

Supporter draw just as good as it was before for the parts that matter while not using it still sucks for consistency

[plain vessel]

The consistency drop definitely can feel bad at the final stage but personally it's not that bad before

Also I do often pick supporters for the options

[violet vortex]

Yeah which is why instead of intentionally making my setup worse

I just continue to use it

[plain vessel]

Since the thing about supporters is that it doesn't matter too much who you're getting as long as they are indeed a supporter

While someone like Mlynar or Irene I rather guarantee at the start

[violet vortex]

That setup of 4 vg 4 supporter 2 specialist rest melee carries has never failed me

Never need to restart a stage

Always full 8 no issues

[plain vessel]

[violet vortex]

Has everything I need and I just grab more vanguards and supporters along the way

[plain vessel]

I like GG strat because GG wipe map very funni and cool

Tbh

[violet vortex]

I don’t like mixing melee and ranged carries

Involves running a bunch of a completely other class of characters

[plain vessel]

Tbh it indeed is a bit overkill

Ye your strat is probably better

But GG is good fun

[plucky jay]

im someone accustomed to using mixed

[violet vortex]

Never liked it when half the time it just loses to itself

[plucky jay]

havent lost at all, but i wont say which strat is better

it’s up to personal preference

[violet vortex]

And the best way for it to be better is have like 3-4 busted snipers that are useful characters that can hold the line while you cycle

[plain vessel]

Well SSS isn't a hard game mode anyway

[plucky jay]

it’s just tedious

if it was hard then that’d be a problem

since it’s a bi-weekly grindable

but it’s probably hard for beginners, not that they should really in a position to be grinding for mods in the first place

[plain vessel]

This map with the light mechanic thing kinda sad for gg

[plucky jay]

not really tbh

it doesnt hinder her much imo

[plain vessel]

I'm on skill 3

[plucky jay]

it just restricts the targets she can hit

yeah same

[plain vessel]

Hitting boss on the interval was good shit

[violet vortex]

It’s why I use what I use

Almost no variance

Can just do it quickly and be done

[plain vessel]

Fair enough

[versed compass]

ya you just do a melee or ranged set up

and repeat it every SSS

SSS is too boring of a mode anyway so i too rarely do new shit in it

[plain vessel]

I'll try a ranged set up after this

By that I mean I'll just set up the comp for next SSS reset

[quaint arch]

• No Gnosis + L + Ratio @ Permanently Unaware

[versed compass]

my ranged set up used to be Golden gnosis + punch of specalists + some snipers and a flag or 2 + ranged vanguards

people stopped putting gnoiss in support so i did the lazy golden suzuran and punch of snipers

i hire one blocker in case of inves (usually mudrock)

[plain vessel]

[hallow garnet]

so close

[plain vessel]

It's not worth going full ranged set up if you don't have a payoff besides from GG

I see

I guess I'll just yoink Grim's strat

[plucky jay]

luckily no one ever yoinks my strat

it’s too weird to use

mine

[plain vessel]

My strat can't be yoinked

Because I don't have a strat

[plucky jay]

your strat is yoinking other people’s strat

sorry but that strat has been yoinked

[plain vessel]

true

it's a strat I yoinked

truly a strat of all time

[plucky jay]

truly too strat of a strat

[versed compass]

2 carries better then 1

[plain vessel]

I have Pozy and Chalter but I don't think Phys ranged units are that worth right

[versed compass]

but honestly with how weak the SSS currently even a sl7 suzuran with a GG was more then enough for me

chalter is solid

[plain vessel]

wait for the iron carrot mine Ifrit is pog

[versed compass]

just check pins

theres chalter in there

[plain vessel]

I have a S2 M3 Kay

[plain vessel]

I guess this works

[tough matrix]

100 pulls
0 Texas alter
1 penance
1 schawrz dupe

This game is trash

[plain vessel]

When the Rats is salty

[tough matrix]

yeah

my money that I used to buy monthly wasted without any benefits

[plain vessel]

Shamare M3 costs aren't that high

I guess I'll M3 her

[hot rampart]

its joever

[tribal thicket]

Dunno if he is very useful but I gottem

[violet vortex]

I gotta wonder how some people manage to have 0 funds for this banner

Despite it being delayed over a month

And having the initial 6 months of knowing it exists in advance

[vague sail]

well shit happens sometime

people cant save and just impulse roll

[violet vortex]

Sounds like a personal problem to me

They didn’t want it hard enough

[hot rampart]

definitely impulse rolling

or returning player

[ebon sphinx]

probably yes

[wanton stratus]

It looks better than her other one for damage, with the +%

Lackluster level 1 effect though, whereas the other one had a good lv1 effect and disappointing lv2 and 3 lol

[tropic creek]

i went on a hiatus

[wanton stratus]

Cringe

[tropic creek]

L

[wanton stratus]

Good to see some introspection

[slate stratus]

saga skin is good

[tropic creek]

ur good

[slate stratus]

[strong rampart]

they are charged by attacking

as well

forgetting Maria's most useful talent smh

[wanton stratus]

Well

Too bad about the module first tho

[strong rampart]

nah

first module op

[wanton stratus]

Ah yes, spending 15dp for 3 sp every 20 seconds

Definitely OP

[strong rampart]

begone

[tropic creek]

[wanton stratus]

What happened?

[strong rampart]

it's the Yugioh bot

it's not supposed to be here

lmao

[wanton stratus]

[tropic creek]

time to invite it back

[strong rampart]

you can try

[tropic creek]

[lofty apex]

But the millenium eye should be able to see this thread, it should be canon

[strong rampart]

[strong rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/pegasus-yugioh-gif-11477669

lmao

[tribal thicket]

Nuke Emma for sacc

[strong rampart]

[tropic creek]

ill nuke you

[strong rampart]

I'll nuke u for sacc

[wanton stratus]

Do it

I’m safe since I never sacc

[tropic creek]

in 276 pulls so far
p6 penance
suzuran
texalter
ntr
p15 bearcub

i guess hibiscus the purifier, tsukinogi and mr nothing

[vague sail]

Gimme that p6 penance

[tropic creek]

my first 6* p6 unit, no

[slate stratus]

my first 6* p6 unit is texas alter

lmao

[tropic creek]

i only went this far because of texalter

[tribal thicket]

Wtf sacc

I only got p5 penance

Pot 3 texalter

And exu

[tropic creek]

i needed a suzuran so it turned out well

just need 24 more pulls

[wanton stratus]

Good luck getting 24 pulls in one day

[tropic creek]

ok bet

[wanton stratus]

Wallet time

[tropic creek]

nah

f2p moment

[wanton stratus]

Nice

🤝

[tropic creek]

i mean, i do have allot of stages to clear so

[wanton stratus]

I’m doing my pulls tomorrow, so looking forward to that. Also looking forward to the day after where I can relish in all the illiterate people who only did 299 pulls because they though the banner ended a day later than it actually did

[tropic creek]

reading moment

the 5* isnt even good this time around so not even worth pulling for her pots

[wanton stratus]

First the login event, and let’s say you get maximally lucky for 620 + 500 orundum. Then let’s say you haven’t cleared any IS-EX stages, which makes for 20 OP in first clear rewards. Add 1800 from annihilation to that. Then 100 from the daily missions, and possibly 500 from the weekly missions if you put in some effort. Of course there’s the daily pull so the required pulls go down to 23.
That makes for 1120 + 3600 + 1800 + 600 orundum, for a total of 7120 orundum, equaling 11 pulls. So unfortunately you’re still 12 pulls short. My condolences

[tropic creek]

okay what if i havent cleared anything else from the game

[wanton stratus]

Also, I’d like to argue that Lunacub has a unique niche in being able to remain permanently camouflaged, which means she can be much more aggressive positioned than most snipers excluding April

[wanton stratus]

Wait wdym

You’ve cleared no stages?

[tropic creek]

im a newer player

[wanton stratus]

[tropic creek]

that hasnt done allot of stuff

[wanton stratus]

The biggest limiting factor is the amount of sanity you get per day then

[tropic creek]

[wanton stratus]

You’d need 40 additional OP from first clear rewards to hit that 300 pull mark

[sharp tartan]

[tropic creek]

never say never

[wanton stratus]

Which unfortunately isn’t possible unless you spend OP to refresh, which defeats the purpose. Unless you do the incredibly cursed thing of refreshing sanity with OP to first clear more stages to get OP and in turn refresh sanity to clear EVEN more stages until you reach 40 OP

Which would be hilarious

[tropic creek]

thats what i said to someone earlier

[wanton stratus]

[tropic creek]

refresh with Op to earn more OP

[wanton stratus]

[tropic creek]

i probably wont

but ill see

[wanton stratus]

It might be worth it ngl

NTRK and especially Skalter are really good operators

[tropic creek]

im still on chapter 4 of story

[hot rampart]

but she doesnt do any relevant dmg despite having perma stealth

activating skill 2 for said stealth uptime requires her to kill enemies which is also a hard thing to achieve because it requires consistent stream of weak enemies and her killing them

[tropic creek]

yeah im missing just skalter

i guess rosmontis also but i wont get it

[wanton stratus]

I said she had a unique niche, not that is was a good niche

[hot rampart]

u better off using firewatch s1 because she actually does decent damage and long duration of camouflage

[wanton stratus]

But Firewatch S2 is so cool

[tropic creek]

her niche is being in a banner with good units

[wanton stratus]

How could I use S1?

[hot rampart]

i see its like tsukinogi unique niche of revealing stealth enemies

[wanton stratus]

Yeah, Tsukinogi is good

[tribal thicket]

Hit hard I'm dead

Tsukinogi s1 would've been good

If it wasnt a dodge effect

[versed compass]

they die when they are killed

hope that help

[bleak mirage]

Just drop red

Phantom

Texas

Gravel

Easy

[tribal thicket]

Idk what to cook

[tropic creek]
