Despite it being about him at the start
Amiya has the present dedicated to her growth
Kal has her past & motives for intrigue
What does mc have
Anything he did in the past
Happened
We’re in the effects
And it clearly wasn’t important enough for us to know about it yet
And no matter what happened
It wouldn’t make the current better
Because the current is detached from those events
tfw Kelsey intentionally keeps Doktah in the dark so as to not destabilise their mental health or risk turning them bad again 😔
Oh no not bad doctor
What will he do again
He failed
And it’s not like he can throw a punch
What will his evil arc contain
Gaslighting?
Is he kash?
lol
The reality of it is that all he would do if he found out he wasn’t that great of a guy
Is maybe get a bit of the not wanting to be alive trait from the guilt
He wouldn’t go all evil
Because him going evil wouldn’t do anything
Unless the story takes a major turn and he starts building elaborate contacts with other people using the power of negotiation
Behind everyone’s back
Kal not telling this man his past is more for the player to not know it
Than anything the mc as a character will do in response
as I was saying, ICly having an important function and already having nightmares means that perhaps ignorance is bliss since telling them is unnecessary
Man wouldn’t do anything important with this information regardless
He has no power
He’s a grunt
In fact the reunion arc had a dude named Guard
Who did significantly more than Doctor
Doctor getting fleeced by a guy with no name
Consider that
Guard killed Ace & Scout
Helped in the Reunion presence
Got Talulah back from RI
What has Doctor done?
Guard also almost killed Blaze
Guard is killing the ops or putting them in their place
Doctor is showered with praise about who he was like 5 years ago
If you want evidence of how important Doctor is right now you can refer to the current chapter
And how well his strategy turned out
||Kal slashed, Amiya in peril, they had to retreat|| - The results only possible from a tactical genius
Doctor takes more Ls than Perfect Legend
didnt theresis showing up sort of unexpected
Didn’t know the revered ace-in-the-hole strategist was incapable of planning for an outside factor in the middle of a war
When theresis was a known quantity
u dont expect their leader to be directly in the battlefi... nah wait nvm 
What was he expecting theresis to do while he conducts this massive assault in the same vicinity
Even if it wasn’t theresis the other sarkaz dude was showing up
This man really didn’t account for many people showing up
if manfred shows up instead i dont think it would be that bad
its just theresis is bad news even if doktah were to expect him to come
Power of having no power
Who is afraid of this man
Getting sick of promo art for serious events showing this man posted up looking hardened
And characters saying how great he is
When his tactics are: “Logos; help”
With his large scale multipart strategies having the assurance of a glass house
yes thats how a commander do
War tacticians in real life are actually scary people you know
Doctor captures none of that
well i dont know any of those people
They’re supposed to feel integral to a plan
Because in real life they well
Are
Integral to the plan
Doctor not so much
You can have a character not be a combatant but you should at least make him seem important
The only way they could think to make him important this chapter was have him catch amiya
A physical activity
That someone else could’ve done
irl it helps they command a whole army and not some
so called pharmacy
Despite Doctor having genuine supersoldiers at his disposal
His strategies are throwing people at a problem and hoping they figure it out
A strategist in a story and in general should be the one that makes the most use of every pawn at their disposal
But doctor is like just using them in general
Not making the most of it
Just really not well positioned for the story
Reunion arc was centered around Amiya’s growth so it didn’t put any emphasis on Doctor overcoming their forces with strategy
And the current arc is also about Amiya
With a little about Kal
This guy is filler to flow the story towards their development
But in order for them to have development they need setbacks
So all we ever get is Doctor’s strategies failing or sucking in order to have a story
Man’s whole life is about failure so others can have their character growth
i think some of this problem is we dont see if he actually do tactics or not
it felt like they are offscreen
as much as mediocre the AK anime is i liked the part where he seemingly commands the squad through prts thing
to save the lil girl and her mom
we dont see that in ingame at all
it was just something going offscreen
Makes you wonder how his past life is to be seen so much as a threat, eh?
he close to an on field squad leader rather than a commander sitting infront of a table with maps and pawns on it
yes we should give doktah a gun
He should be the guy with maps and pawns because that’s what he is
Literally
That’s his role in the story
Being that kind of guy
That’s what he’s supposed to be feared for
Yet he never seems to be doing a whole lotta that
how is he gonna get involved with other npcs and antagonist face to face if he does that
will lose his purpose as a self insert character to be forced in stories
just to feel involved with it
Man never provides anything of substance to those interactions anyways
Frostnova - Died anyways
Patriot - Died anyways
In fact more antagonists should be like Skullshatteree
“Hey isn’t that their commander just kind of there”
“Maybe I should idk, kill him”
I just have to imagine every conflict has at least 3 ops performing a triangle protection strategy to keep him from being hit by strays
What about the most recent npc interaction featuring him in stainless’ grandma
Where he was completely unnecessary to be there
Just kind of was
Hanging around
If only the legendary strategist commanded some sort of presence like every other character that is given legendary status in the story
like who
Theresa
theresa had privilege thing going on and have the crown power
i dont think so
Then what is this man
He’s just a dude
I hope the reveal from Kal is that he’s just a dude
just a researcher forced into commanding a group of soldier
That is as just a dude of a reason as it could get
They don’t talk about him like that
World powers don’t fear the 10th place tactician
he will get outplayed by actual commanders that can actually defend themselve cuz my magic power
theresis is one
He is given too much recognition
To just be considered a guy doing what he had to do
Pre-amnesia he was specifically a war commander
a good businessman
You don’t just become a war commander because of multitasking jobs
It implies he’s good at it
It should feel like he’s good at it
If in reality Doctor is just “an okay tactician” commanding a rag tag group of dreamers sure
But they need to be more open about that
i guess thats the reality
Because of every world power
Has better tacticians
And better soldiers
And more soldiers
good observation
Than the Doctor isn’t only not special
He’s bad
Comparatively to what he’s facing
its why he is in a pharmacy company and not a leader of a nation
damn you guys still going at it
They just don’t portray him as this much of a non factor
Or talk about him like he’s a non factor*
Somehow
They portray him as bad at what he does
But talk about him like he’s an ace in their organization
battlefield is not the only thing that matters
I don’t care that he assigns good Christmas bonuses
thats on u
Overhyped motivational support unit
correct
Then they need to start being more about that
they do
just have to go through every characters profiles and voicelines
whether or not thats worth ur time is ur choice to make
Go through every profile to learn that doctor’s main positive attribute is being a better than average boss


Why is the guy that gives good work benefits on the battlefield
They have dobberman
if they had good commander they wouldnt save this coma patient in chernobog and lose a lot of life for it
Tactics wise it’s shown kal and amiya both do fine without him
Business wise they could easily just hire someone else
Kal already does most negotiations
and that overburdens her
its a lot less now
They can’t serve the same purpose of a self insert because that would take away the part where they’re a character
thats right
But that’s a more meta reason not a story reason
doktah is a self insert character thats the main problem and it wont be fixed for u that easily
especially when its established he is powerless himself
he will not be doing anything outstanding
Strategists are integral to most things they do
They just don’t show him succeeding at it
Which makes him suck
it lies on him being a strategist and we just dont see it
cuz story focused more on other characters more than just watching a man laying out his tactics
And they could show him actually doing these negotiations
that would require making doc speak more than a sentence
Then at least stop having characters tell him he’s good at what he does

yea that i totally get
thb thats mostly a gacha sydrome when they want the MC to be a self insert so they making him usually blank as a board
with very few dialogues
but regardless of that people act like they do everything and are so amazing
That’s commonly paired with some value still
Doctor’s accomplishments:
Nothing was more weird than the Dorothy event where this guy did nothing the whole time
He was just kind of there
he serve as a tool for the npc to explain stuff to
par of the course of self insert gacha syndrome
Could’ve been done with any other character
true
He doesn’t do anything with this information
or not overthink stuff too much

at least its not as bad as genshin so AK has that going for it
I think there easily a capacity to tell a good & fairly consistent story within a live service
Most of my complaints are centered around a single character usually
In this case mc
But like for instance this event right now
Real solid story
Rubio was probably the star of it
And this was a character who was not attractive, not a combatant, & not important
If they can make a good character out of someone with the least power in the story
They can make the non combatant mc seem a little more integral to the operations at play than being the one who designs the family plans
kind of wanna see doktah in a hostage situation he deliberately put himself in as a bait
12f wasn’t interested in talking to the guy because he gave good work hours
It was because he was a larger than life symbol
They could literally just show that doctor has a plan b
When making these strategies
So when things go wrong
He seems actually prepared for it
And not a bumbling idiot
You can show someone competently failing
Btw am i crazy
Or was the build up to the reason why texas avoids lappland kinda… whatever?
All that build up about it and its just kinda meh
this directly involve texas so i dont find her amazing either
Unless I just missed something
it really is just meh
Smh
I’m just glad she’s got her situation resolved I guess
She was my top three when this game came out
Now only one more girl left to alter
Plus. Her lines say she doesn’t have lappland bothering her. Another bonus for the kuudere
after you have killed skalter 1000 times
https://youtu.be/GNe4xoekXaA this where its from
poor skadi
i like how the reejction is confuse one
she too confused why theres 3 of her
probably thinks the armor is the reason :clueless:
Why you all bulli skalter wdf
ok so only emergancy dispatch can be used to upgrade
so ishmarla can fuck off and leave skadi alone
||also to take revenge for gladiia specter ulpain||
I am definitely not brainwashed by the seaborn

We are many
Come join us
Free cookies
idk if i trust that
Inori was a last cause anyways
Talulah simping to seaborn turning
Doomed from the start
u will abandon ur life soon enough 
Won't we all eventually
😔
I like the seaborn they are cool
Homie mindset
Definitely better than suffering with originium.
ishnu-alah
Grim


take that you miserable batlings
whip whip
🍆 💦
hit me harder bambi

looks like i need to whip you more to break you
whip whip whip

whip whip whip get on your knees boy
Have u even used module Y
The slow duration increase makes S3 perma-slow like S2 
But I wouldn’t lvl 3 it unless simp
Cuz it’s just minor heal increase
Just use X
Bampy
Wtf
💀
@wanton stratus
Both mods should stay lvl 1
Regardless of which u choose
Unless simp

Hush

the issue with this thinking is mlynar will kill the enemy before tequila can attack

Place better

instructions unclear
Sa and tequilla get placed in the bench
I gotta put that in the log

You should get the first module because that’s what I got

It definitely wasnt the only module at the time
No, of course not. I always trust you to make only the most educated decisions
i never said they are powercreep and i do use them together
esp cuz SA lowers sexas redep time by being in the team
he can do that while still on the bench
SA’s module is surely gonna make him reduce redeployment time even further
Looking forward to that
can't you just appreciate the post wtf
there's nothing to defend
it's just funni

Call me Ben Shapiro, cuz I deliver the facts and truths that don’t care about your feelings


I'm ultra poor now
F
Wtf

What Masteries? S3 Mastery?
Full M9 maxLv mod3
Spent all spec tokens on him too
Not even Full Pot

Yes

@ Everyone
Wtf who pinged me
Wut
.
That didn’t ping me
It was a joke


None of my accounts have 'em

What an ironical W for me
When the W is an L, the world has truly reached a sorry state
Rip
I’m sorry for making fun of you being Spalterless now, Yuwen
I regret it
Forgive me

I’m kinda surprised you didn’t go for it like did and rolled 300 times
*Specterless

i cant see advance squad at all
and the alter bosses
only old man appear for me
Trying to get a specific thing still the worst part of is
I swear I’ve gotten this scripture 30+ times
And not gotten the followup
hello u noobs
Thank goodness finally someone sane
Everyone keeps thinking I’m good but I’m really bad
What kind is the possibility of me racking up 72k orundum from 20k by the time yato alter comes?
?? from 20k?
1-7 Lead Mine
Yes
What does that mean
You Spam Stage 1-7 during Dead Weeks
And then you use all the Orirock Cubes you got to make Originium Shard in Factory
To then trade it in Trading Post for Orundums
@tidal hawk it's probly not worth it, but that's one of the "F2P" option if you desperate for it
done
Oooh alright

Which should i raise?
Perfumer or Purestream?

I was thinking of build a Status Resist Ops (since i don't have one)
But a AoE Regen wouldn't be too bad to consider
for aoe regen
And no, this isn't Main Acc, where i have a Red Bard
do u have whisperain instead of purestream
In this one Acc?
No.
That's why
Lumen would be too costly for now to build

Or should i just build Suss-
Nevermind bout that
I have Ptilopsis for that
Silence S2M3 adds 10% more Uptime and that's it, huh?

22 SP into 18 SP
No it doesn't. Ange still attacks at a 1.8 sec interval (or 0.57 times per second). That's 0.6 seconds of dead time per attack where they're walking forward.
It's better than the 1.1 seconds without the module, but I still think it's too minor to justify over MOD-X, especially as she doesn't do normal attacks outside of S1.
Hell, the only operator I like DEC-Y on is Istina, and that's because her Talent gives her +21 ASPD.
thinking someone is sane her is very insane thinking

Texalter S4
Dark Knight Texas
During the last collab banner, which was Rainbow Six Siege, we got 20 free pulls. I’m not sure if the same applies to the monhun banner, but if it does you would only need 60K orundum for a total of 100 pulls
This medic 2nd encounter is not real
They make it sound like it’s guaranteed you’ll see it
When in reality you never see it
i genuinely wonder if she'd be an Agent with a similar gimmick to Ines, Dollkeeper Specialist or Phantom style Executor Specialist 
or something else entirely
i think the only alter that did the same class AND subclass is Lava and Kroos but then they were 3*s and generic skillset
this really cracks me up
...What?
that's a one unique executor

🥵
That’s what she’s for 
You're for

No u
Yes u

No that’s what you are for


forget SSS, become happeh 

i was planning to chip damage him down every cycle with mlynar

this path is totally worth a key
On what?

What was the price of that piano, again? I forgot.
1mill
So I can buy 20 pianos
Remind me where the piano thing came from though, I forgor 💀
Ok, after i check on some wiki... It's 1.8 Million
Look at that
You can buy 11 Pianos
......
Rate up is a lie
Chp 5
iirc they were talking about trying not to break anything
it ended up getting used as a shield
though Swire is rich enough that the family can just replace it
tw casters on D12 just nuked everything
holy shit
(knight fight)
i leaked the knight but could not keep with those tw casters
Dusk MVP
I hope they buff her to make her better same like rosmon...
0 light
2 encounters
Both whiffed
I’m starting to be convinced
That this followup medic encounter just doesn’t exist
Damn you still at it 

desire sensor
But it doesn’t make sense
The medic event implies
That taking the scripture is a downside
That will then have a followup of a hard encounter
But this encounter never shows up
So it makes the downside nonexistent and you just get 2 free relics
The only reason I want to see this downside is for the relic locked behind it
Otherwise this would just be strictly in my favor
I also realize the song I use as a lobby theme is ending 3’s boss theme
i use that too
good one
also i just learned that mini boss alter have no relation to light
the wiki was lieing
1hp but I didn’t get any king relics
This boss is so sad
Impossible to obtain relic
When is the patch to add this node
Is the 4th ending available now?
done
I could’ve sworn there was a boss in this ending
It absolutely does
Low light increase odds of variant
You have exquisite taste as well 

Remember when everyone was complaining about EN rushing to catch up to CN? Those seem like the good old nostalgic days in comparison to this shi
Even if we get no dead days right now
i dont remember those days
i only remember complaints about pepega schedule especially rosa and suzu event being brought infront and W, Weedy banner delayed just for 1st year anniversary
The worst thing about that was having Barrenland and Pyrite within a month of each other.
Uh
Wasn’t Barrenland CC#0? I thought that was earlier
Maybe I’m confusing it with CC beta?
prts does not talk about it iirc
and the wiki was saying stuff like its guranteed at 0 light
i had 0 light floor 2
(seperation shit)
what is the function of the knight?
"role 1 dice to make the knight fight with your side" if I'm not wrong
nevermind
I wonder if he's permanently joining the fight
why would I want to debuff my man
Lezzgo, first event with no guides
He does ||until the end if u keep him alive||

you have one guess why
new ending?
do you want spoilers?
yeah
true

I haven't seen it
I was joking, my brudda
aight, thank you
for some reason, I always waste my dice
so I don't really have the opportunity to get him
im just covering my ass xd
cool
I eat spoiler like its my breakfast
wow, now my Highmore always going to use her s1 skill
what is the emergency dispatch even do
What the fuck
F
tomb stone solo
exactly
you send an op on dispatch and it gets promoted to e2 when u enter the next floor but unusable until then. also clears any rejections on them. if u decide to not take the opportunity then u can just pass it by and get 3 hope instaed
man, imagine passing up on all those freebies and free promotes when you get a dispatch node before a non combat end of level node


Black Tulip with Skadi alt is just so hilarious
Still haven’t seen the encounter but now I’m just doing all endings on all squads

godsenger is good with module
Nah, Gnosis.
Lupo > horse girl
finally
Oh,Break the Ice rerun is already up.
Just play Skyrim
SilverAsh marriage arc
i tried to throw this run by picking sui in the wish fulf
game said no and gave me a 1
:clueless:
Oh my God she's so hot with this skin
she very cute 
it's just sad that shes not very good to use

i wish carne was good
her skin is so hot
but i cant bring myself to build her
cuz shes so bad to use
what
both rock rock and kjera are better then click
and rock rock is better then kjera
they all sucks for rarity abuse squad but that because rarity abuse squad make most 5* and below look shit
the only cope i see click on now is a stun for mantas in IS
and thats pretty much worse then every other stun option (mayer/erato/krooster/texas/w etc)
speaking of stuns
i stunned this guy so much the horse fucked off :clueless:
since when rr is better than kejra
her damage is higher
which is the main deal about casters
CC wise all of them are worse then actual CC options
GG completely destroy all of them combined but she is a 6* so thats normal
D13 done
knight with weedy opener and W mvp
but all i heard so far is how rr is shit
kek
this is brand new info
then again i wouldnt pick up either in is3
so
doesnt rlly matter
i think you mistaken her with the little shit from gavial event
minemalist or whatever his name was
or you heard she is shit for rarity abuse player
which is true bcause her only deal is damage
and will 6* do that way too good
i would not pick any caster in IS3 in general
maybe mostima post module
well i cant backread anymore
or GG in lower D
cuz old channel is gone
but i distincly remember rr called shit
and that i should raise kjera over her
for is3
you should not raise any of the 3 for IS3 (click included)
casters sucks in IS3
70 res every final boss
and diffeculty add res (up to 20 in D12)
meanwhile elites and bosses get like 40% def buff only xd
tbh would use s2 overrall post module
Mfw S3 is already M3’d
and i was told s3 > s2 still

you can m6 her
s3 might still have uses for root
i have her m6 personally
and i think the long ass duration on s2 will make her solid with the big dps boost from module
currently tho she is just a root bot with s3 cause no module
tbh dont know the max risk meta at all thiscc
Click feels so mid to me
Idk why ppl like using Click

degenbrecher disarm is completely worthless vs GG and pozy 
type writer be like : hello there 
she really just the best (budget) choice
but she loses to most 5* st casters
out side of drip battle and IS she wont be losing to steward
so
outside of all the content you would use Click in
over a 5* or 6* caster
:^)
thats why i said she is the best (budget) choice
but that's actually Steward

dont think click vs rock kjera is like myrtle vs ely
Explain
Jk dont
I'm baiting you

But click is hella good budget dps
Kjera is meh
Rockrock has a self stun cuz of massive dps output

What
Its not whatever lol
Not if you use the entire duration

Isnt that cuz of the stats ?
Well also freeze i guess
of skill dps is pretty whatever
if rock rock killed her target on skill then her being stunned while a kroos kill a dog is pretty fine
True
extra drone helps a lot
Oh right
She does summon extra drone

I forgot lol
But still click is hella good no?
Range expansion/attack up/stun chance
everyone and their mom have attack up on skill
stun chance is pretty okish but not something you will bring her for
the range is nice sometimes but dont make up for lack of damage vs rock rock or kjera
click is just a budget choice for those lacking in options
cause amiya kinda suck pre e2
Bruh
why even bother

Man
You really thought i meant
Click in general content?
I slap gg on every run and call it a day
only reason is copium stun if you failed to get texas/mayer/erato/kroos alter/w/may/idk what just use better stuns
even in IS i would just GG until D12
then use the one and only
reserve caster
who the fuck thought +20 res is fine with all the hp buffs 

mind you normal enemies dont get any def in any of the diffeculties
and elites only get 20% iirc
bosses like 40% def buff
but all get +20 res
yes
everyone has Surtr
so
its totally fine
:clueless:
surtr is a guard
you know what guard have now? 
Tene hug
mlynar is actually a utility op on top of being a bonker dps 
completely nulling the broods is too good

Just a random "different types of" meme :)

Idk if I should put a spoiler tag or not here...
Tell me if I do need to

There are only 2 kinds of civilians for me:
Those who deplete life points and those who don’t

theres only 1 civilian for me
THAT FUCKER IN JUSTICE STAGE IN IS2 THAT HOLES UP IN A CORNER OR TAKING HIS TIME DOING ZIG ZAG RUN TO GET HIT BY ENEMIES
Bro that guy is ez to protecc
Just spawn camp the shitters
I usually just put an FRD down in that top right square every time they park a sniper jetpack there

the stage itself is trivialized if u have 1 vanguard and good lane holder to spawn camp
but it doesnt change the fact that on emergency + hardmode relic make the enemy deal way more dmg to the civ while civ stats are as paper as before
The civ lives if you spawn camp
They can’t attack the civ if they are blocked
And I mean literally spawn camp
Blockers right next to red box
Or just kill them as they spawn - I’ve done that too with Deadeye strats
Indeed.
Should've just spawn camp 'em for that stage

Reaper is pretty good for that
A good defender on the middle lane backed by a medic
Can tank anything on that stage
Even emergency hard mode
What classifies as a Good Defender, btw?
Something like Cuora Stats?

Something that can reliably tank a >1k atk Ursus Raider Leader
And an Ursus Caster
at the same time

I think on Emerg the Raider Leader is closer to 1.2k atk but idk what the emergency buff % to atk is
Just estimating based on the 700 base atk + Ursus Chachek + a bit more
the only defender is spot
also whatever strat u are trying to conjure
it requires a vanguard for DP unless ur initial setup of that stage can hold itself
it will fall flat if they cant
general problem is not having enough dps / aoe dps alongside spawncamping becuz u cant deploy them yet due to dp problem

It would be so much better with blueit
Pretty sure it's a DPS check this time around. Zero threats outside of the sandcastle casters.
Invisible buggies also exist in week 2, but you're probably bringing Elysium anyway.
So basically, bring Suzuran + Invis reveal + whatever flavour of Nukers you want.
Arts preferable.
Is Mod-X the given choice for Passenger’s modules?
