Arknights

[tardy vigil]

By standards of the time it was bad

[hot rampart]

cuz cyberpunk forced sony and xbone involved directly

[tardy vigil]

Ofc good launch helps but it isn't end-all

[hot rampart]

well yeah im not that doomer

but do u hear people talking about dragon dogma anymore right now

or even a week after that

[tardy vigil]

I've never heard of it before

But this isn't dragon ligma

[hot rampart]

this is an even worse remarks

i cant believe its this bad

its a game by capcom btw

[tardy vigil]

Oh that japanese RPG

[hot rampart]

ah yes that japanese rpg

[tardy vigil]

I never was into that niche

It's also single player not live service

[hot rampart]

the very fact that u didnt even recognize its name is pretty telling

[tardy vigil]

I don't play any Capcom games

[hot rampart]

damn

[tardy vigil]

I don't recognize any of their games

[hot rampart]

also how exactly is cyberpunk is

[tardy vigil]

Maybe some fighting

[hot rampart]

live service?

[tardy vigil]

Tekken?

[hot rampart]

cyberpunk is a single player game

[tardy vigil]

It isn't, but it is different

[hot rampart]

how different

the unfucking process of the game is called live service now?

[tardy vigil]

Because I am in circles who were anticipating cyberpunk

[hot rampart]

like no man sky ?

[tardy vigil]

It's a western game so I've heard of it

Also I heard 0 shit about it after release

[hot rampart]

i still dont get what u mean by this

[tardy vigil]

Maybe this ligma gets a cool dlc too

[tardy vigil]

I mean wuwa is different to ligma

[hot rampart]

but u brought up cyberpunk?

[tardy vigil]

Single player imo has less chances to bounce

Even Cyberpunk bounced

Was ligma release that bad?

I remember waza saying he loved the game

[hot rampart]

technical issue
and people straight spreading misinformation with its mtx

[tardy vigil]

Sounds like a mid problem

I don't play new games

Wuwa is exception because idc about hsr anymore

Also ligma has 6.0 with 60k reviews on steam

I think it paid off itself

[hot rampart]

regardless im showcasing how technical issue just ruins people first impression and how it can bring forth a very negative outlook from the players

and wuwa is having it currently

[tardy vigil]

Judging by the amount of reviews people ate it up

[hot rampart]

this is like

2 months pass so yeah only positive left

but first week of the game is just shitshow u see like wuwa right now

[tardy vigil]

Dogma has 4.4k players for a singleplayer

Seems ok

Idk, they definitely didn't overreach

But wuwa don't need to overreach imo

Genshin is so shit good chunk of players will leave anyway

[hot rampart]

theres 4.4k players playing it currently?

[hot rampart]

thats not the point im trying to make here
ofc they don't overreact NOW 💀

[tardy vigil]

Even 10% of genshit money would be ok for them

[hot rampart]

sounds like cope tbh

[hot rampart]

also the thing killing genshin is more towards HSR itself

[tardy vigil]

Wdym cope

Genshit is massive

[hot rampart]

so u are saying to put hope on kuro to deliver the same quality as genshin with only 1/10 of its profit?

and genshit is shit supposedly as u said so this makes me worry more about kuro

[tardy vigil]

Genshin is shit not because lack of money

[hot rampart]

more money would definitely help create it a better product tho

is what im seeing with genshin currently (and HSR)

post inazuma genshin was mostly positive things i heard

most negative things i see now about em is just how stingy they are with rewards and lacks of qol
when compared to HSR

if wuwa flops right now its gonna be like the next Tower of flops

or just like they did with pgr they can bounce back

altho in my head i like to believe all these games that "bounced" back could have been way bigger than they are currently in reality if their launch isnt awful

especially cyberpunk

[tardy vigil]

They don't need to get bigger

[tardy vigil]

Genshit has fuck ton of money and where it leads them?

[hot rampart]

uh more money

they made HSR and doubled their profit straight up bro

[strong rampart]

Jenshit Sinpact

[tardy vigil]

It's a different game

Like, good for hoyo

[wanton stratus]

JenSin…
Jensen?
https://youtu.be/5OLk6E9i5cw?si=yLJZWBHeR0_ATWan

[tardy vigil]

Not for genshit

[willow nymph]

"pos practices are common why you unhappy about them" i fucking hate that shit it's terrible

I hated on genshin for having it

i hate on wuwa for having it

I hate on league and valorant for vanguard

[wanton stratus]

I hate on all gacha games for having it

[willow nymph]

Kernel level anti-cheat is absolutely either lazy or actively evil practice

You can do anti-cheats that work well without having kernel level access

[strong rampart]

Ever since I installed Wuwa on my phone, all my apps have been stuttering

[wanton stratus]

Social credit score deduction

[strong rampart]

Must be this kernel level shit

Time to uninstall rq

[strong rampart]

You just got a social credit score deduction for reducing someone else’s social credit score

[wanton stratus]

Such is the life of a model citizen

[sharp tartan]

Ever since installing wuwa

I cant open dota

Fuck this shit

[quaint arch]

Kernel Anti-Cheat

What is it?

[willow nymph]

Basically anti cheat that instead of working inside the program to detect tampering
Monitors your whole pc by hiding itself at the core of your pc with all the admin rights shit

[violet vortex]

Malware

[willow nymph]

i think the problem with it is very visible

[violet vortex]

You guys downloaded malware

[willow nymph]

yeah it literally is

[quaint arch]

Oh...

That doesn't sound good

[willow nymph]

it is not good

that's why i fucking seethe when someone says "it's ok everyone does it"

[violet vortex]

Don’t argue with gacha addicts

[willow nymph]

Kernel level anti-cheats are whole load of crap that shouldn't even exist

[violet vortex]

They lost self respect & common sense a long time ago

It’s like going to a 7-11 and telling the crackheads that they should do better

[quaint arch]

Ahh yes...

SSS & PINCH OUT

[wanton stratus]

Real

[wanton stratus]

Really not feeling like farming the event with the shop cleared out and over 400 alloy in my depot

Rock mine time

[tardy vigil]

It is usually not used on Mac os

They need to do different versions for each os, so their solution usually is "we don't support Linux and we trust Mac os"

[quaint arch]

400 Alloy
That's too many at times. You won't get to use it all

[hot rampart]

yeah but he get to hoard it

[civic linden]

I'm farming rocks cause i literally had 0 of them

[tough matrix]

should I try?

[quaint arch]

For what?

Don't tell me you're pulling for a Geek

[ebon sphinx]

how much do you simp for a terminator

[tough matrix]

ferdico

I need to give virtuosa a leash

[quaint arch]

You changed your mind, @tough matrix?

[tough matrix]

not really, I just need someone to control virtuosa
she's been drying me up

I can't

(Interpret that in any way you want)

[quaint arch]

Well, bad news...
Ferderico will dry you(r wallet) even more

[tough matrix]

if only tax wasn't real

[hot rampart]

if u do ur tax properly frederico wouldnt come for u which is an issue here if u want him to show up

[wanton stratus]

Eh

Fanum tax

[tough matrix]

great

I'm good at evading tax

surely frederico will come, right

[hot rampart]

Hello this is your locally appointed rizz inspector, due to a new Ohio HQ law it has become a legal requirement for all alpha citizens above the age of 18 to have a full rizz inspection. Fortunately for you, this inspection does not have to be done in person, rather pics sent to your local rizz inspector so he/she may create a catalog of such images for Ohio HQ intelligence and flexing. It is required of you to send a picture of your rizz from all 5 positions: Kai Cenat angle, Fanum tax view, Grimace shake side, Ohio side, and Mewing angle.

[wanton stratus]

[tough matrix]

why there is no Sigma side

fake inspector smh

not rizz enough, I'll contact your local quandale dingle so you can skibidi yourself

||(I have no idea what am I saying)||

[hot rampart]

erm what the sigma

[tardy vigil]

I think I wont play wuwa based on fact that I couldnt bother to open it in the last 2 days

and 3 days before sunday

[tardy vigil]

yea, doing this with a million arts drones without casters or snipers...

finally the hypercarry arturia map

[willow nymph]

The angelina map

[wanton stratus]

Bro has Typhon too

I suspect she’d have done a good job

[tardy vigil]

yea, doing this with a million arts drones without casters or snipers...

is this girl decent?

got her from recruitment

[bleak mirage]

Lotta micro managing

But she works fine

[civic linden]

summoners are...hard to give a propper rating

[hot rampart]

dont bother raising/using em if u dont plan to "replace" half of ur squad with a summoner stuff

in case of ling she replace your entire squad

theres some use for summoner in IS tho as early pick since they are good source of extra blocks and bodies to throw out

What experience of Shadoba does to someone

[wanton stratus]

Yes, that’s right

[willow nymph]

Summoners take a lot of experience to be good at (except ling)

Mayer's very strong and the go to is3 summoner

Mayer vs scene arguments are burst vs onskill dps and range

I'm not gonna lie and say she's easier to use but she def pack a punch and can do crazy stuff scene cant

Thank you HIPPO.

how did you even find it

[wanton stratus]

Typed ‘ora’ into the search bar

[ebon sphinx]

Koyasu still not in AK, so one wonders

[versed compass]

also 5* dont matter

it hit the 6* so 100% right on the ops

[ebon sphinx]

it also missed on skins

100%

[wanton stratus]

No matter if it refers to accuracy or lack thereof, it’s still 100 percent

[ebon sphinx]

Ifrit module is cute

I presume its a figurine of Rosmontis she made herself

[quaint arch]

AINTNOWAY

Burn Elemental Damage Module for Ifrit

(Watch as it'll be 8% of the Arts Damage again)

[wanton stratus]

I can see it

[tardy vigil]

Looks like ||reducted||

[hot rampart]

looks like fire yeah

i can see the fire outline

[violet vortex]

Ulpianus the exact archetype everyone expected him to be

[quaint arch]

Crusher

Can't have high expectations for such Archetype

[hot rampart]

it has high expectations if it has an abyssal squad buff

maybe him alone just gonna be hoederer tier

not bad not broken but is there in the mid zone

[violet vortex]

Crusher means he’ll have like 20k hp

With -30% damage taken

Dude would have to have an extremely scuffed kit to not be impossible to kill

Crusher’s main downside is that they have no defenses

[hot rampart]

the thing with abyssal squad

its gladiia the most important core and shes free so at least u can reliably give him a 30% dmg reduction and %hp regen without other abyssals in picture as some new players or something

[violet vortex]

30% damage reduction & 3.5% regen from Gladiia means he both has defenses

And he’ll heal faster than most healers could heal him

With the gigantic Crusher hp pool

[quaint arch]

6000 (avg) + 50%

Uhh... I dunno

[violet vortex]

Alongside the hp buffs from Specter & Skadi

[quaint arch]

You mean on-skill?

[violet vortex]

Yeah

Crushers are likely to do something to their hp

He also will have better skill cycling than the average Crusher

Because Specter Alt gives the highest sp buff in the game

Passive sp buff*

50%

[hot rampart]

this is what im afraid of actually

[quaint arch]

I was about to say: "What if they don't?"

[hot rampart]

they will try to design him with abyssal buff in mind instead of designing him for his own value

[hot rampart]

unironically they really2 need to try so HARD to cut his legs

[violet vortex]

Then he would have Skadi s3 level hp still and would have to be damage centric

Idk why they would go out of there way to screw him

[hot rampart]

ye

[violet vortex]

Not like they’re afraid of powercreep

Like yeah yeah Vivi but that’s just poor kit direction

[hot rampart]

which doesnt make sense but some designers unironically have brain damage i hope whoever is in charge of designing his skill is not those brain damaged ones

[violet vortex]

And if Vivi had AH buffs she’d be a lot better

This is all without knowing his AH buff

Which could be Gladiia tier for all we know

Considering his rank is the same

[hot rampart]

also crusher so far doesnt have any hp buff in their skills

[violet vortex]

Gladiia > Specter/Skadi > Specter 5* > Andre
Power of the ah buffs does go along well with their rank in the faction

[hot rampart]

they tend to have stuns instead

[quaint arch]

How could you....

Look at Hedley

[hot rampart]

hold on

wait he has hp buff

[violet vortex]

The last & only other 6* Crusher

[hot rampart]

wack

[violet vortex]

And he has 6k hp at e290

[quaint arch]

Should've played SV once more

[violet vortex]

Or 5988

[quaint arch]

[violet vortex]

Good to say already

Ulpi already has more defense than Hoe

Just by being an ah

With no skills or talents involved

Than Hoe during s3

Gladiia’s regen is faster than a Crusher could attack & Hoe’s Shelter doesn’t compete

[quaint arch]

Imejin if Ulphy not having AH Talent for his team

[violet vortex]

Every member does even Specter 5*

[quaint arch]

Nah, that won't happen, right?

[quaint arch]

5* Specter
With Mods, but I get it

[hot rampart]

u know what dumb shit they can do

if u wanna go that

far

he isnt count as abyssal

[quaint arch]

Nuh-uh @hot rampart, it's confirmed

[violet vortex]

Gladiia - -30% damage taken & 3.5% hp regen/second
Specter Alt - 30% hp & 0.5sp/second
Skadi - 22% atk & 20% hp
Specter - 5% increased damage dealt
Andre - +20 increased attack speed

This is what Ulpi will gain from existing

He gets 10% less hp than Hoe’s skill 3

[quaint arch]

What will Ulp bring for the team then?

[violet vortex]

Gladiia tier if they’re insane

[hot rampart]

res and def increase (he himself doesnt benefit from def increase cuz he has no def

[violet vortex]

Specter alter tier if they’re normal

[hot rampart]

[violet vortex]

My guess would be either res or block count

[hot rampart]

block way too wack

[violet vortex]

Block count is an absurdly strong buff

It would help him

And Specter alt

And Skadi

[quaint arch]

RES
But... Gladiia already did that, basically.

[hot rampart]

but it can stack

[quaint arch]

No need to stack it again

[hot rampart]

and yeah u just gave him a good reason on why

[quaint arch]

C'mon now

[hot rampart]

gladiia is a captain and she gives damage reduction

ulpian is a abyssal captain too

so he gives another defensive buff

(res increase)

[violet vortex]

Him giving block count helps Skadi the most and he is her captain

[hot rampart]

i dont think skadi wants block increase

[quaint arch]

Also helps Ulp to hit more, but also block more incoming melee

[violet vortex]

It helps her hold more than just one single dude which can be pretty great

[quaint arch]

Won't do that if not for Gladiia

[violet vortex]

Skadi becomes a real character with block count increases on everything that isn’t solo boss dropping

[hot rampart]

abyssal squad in a casual setting is already overkill any extra blocks wont matter much cuz they already kill enemies fast enough for it to matter

[violet vortex]

There are plenty of Skadi tiles which benefit from her having some laneholding

Instead of needing a Specter or Gladiia behind her

[quaint arch]

Can't wait to see what HIPPO will serve

[hot rampart]

in a high threat situation blocking 2 threats instead of 1 will be an immediate death to her

[quaint arch]

[violet vortex]

Skadi can tank most bosses rn

For a long ass time if not indefinitely

+1 mob is not killing her

[quaint arch]

Who knows? Maybe more damage on CC'ed enemy?

[hot rampart]

only gladia has CC which is bind on s3

on 1 target

[violet vortex]

It’s 1 tile not 1 target

[quaint arch]

"Deal with it"

[violet vortex]

And it’s actually not 1 tile either

It’s 1 tile main point

But it hits aoe

[hot rampart]

i mean

CC in this case bind

something to give buff numbers

like bonus dmg when stunned binded enemies

[violet vortex]

So far no ah has given anything niche

[hot rampart]

spalter doll has slow but its not hexer slows

[violet vortex]

It’s all been some kind of generic thing

[quaint arch]

How bout certain % of HP Poll as Damage?

[violet vortex]

Yeah Skadi with 10k hp having 10k attack instead sounds great

Not even thinking of how high his would be

[quaint arch]

I know how to balance it

Per Missing % HP Poll

High risk, high reward

[hot rampart]

think ulpian just gonna give

defensive buff

[tardy vigil]

Gladiia s3 is an 8 seconds bind?

[hot rampart]

like gladiia did

[tardy vigil]

HUH

[hot rampart]

only for 1 tile

[violet vortex]

It binds them in place then pulls

It hits like 3x3

But can only target 1 tile

[tardy vigil]

So I can bind a boss

[violet vortex]

Yes

[tardy vigil]

For 8 seconds

[violet vortex]

If her pull strength is high enough to move them

[tardy vigil]

[violet vortex]

She can even attack cancel with it

[hot rampart]

possible defensive buff :

res increase
def increase (unlikely cuz he has 0 def )
physical dodge
arts dodge

[violet vortex]

This was used in the highest cc clear record

[tardy vigil]

I need to pull the rest of abyssals

[hot rampart]

one of em is limited so uh

gl

[violet vortex]

Her s2 was used for moving*

To clarify

[quaint arch]

No. Don't tell 'em CC#9 Stall Strats

[violet vortex]

One of the best strats for Gladiia s3 is when she can hit several lanes with s3

I used in to make that sheep event stage everyone complained about easy

With the awkward top lane

[quaint arch]

Dodge

Get that thing out of here

[tardy vigil]

Dodge is based

Defense crit

[hot rampart]

yeah and physical dodge on a crusher is like

close to removing crusher weakness

[violet vortex]

The tornado is roughly 3x3

[hot rampart]

[tardy vigil]

Nowhere close

[hot rampart]

something like 15% physical dodge works better against fast attacking mobs rather than slow ones

[violet vortex]

Gladiia & Andre already removes the crusher weaknesses

[hot rampart]

ok but its kinda a step towards it

[tardy vigil]

It does jack shit against high dps

Reduces high dps by 15%

[hot rampart]

yeah but its ulpian and crusher we are talking about here

[tardy vigil]

It's still gonna be high

[violet vortex]

Attack speed is higher because of Andre
Has innate defenses that Crushers usually lack because of Gladiia

He is incapable of having the same issues any of the other Crushers have

[tardy vigil]

Crushers have high HP
High HP are better against heavy hitters and arts damage - better then low HP high def

Especially with %dmg reduction

If they can soak 5 hits + are being healed dodge can work out great

[violet vortex]

He’s going to be too tanky for dodge to be that relevant of a buff

Any culmination of small hits is being healed off

[violet vortex]

All dodge would add is an annoying inconsistency

[hot rampart]

my favorite

auto failure increase

[violet vortex]

Who’s the defender they have the fish ears

[quaint arch]

Exactly

[violet vortex]

No way it’s 2 more fishes right

[hot rampart]

both 5* seems to be aegir

[quaint arch]

[tardy vigil]

Fish don't have ears

[violet vortex]

They do here

[hot rampart]

probably just gonna be associated with only aegir

doesnt count into abyssals

[quaint arch]

Who?

[hot rampart]

5*

[violet vortex]

The defender needs to be a fish so we also have a defender fish

Simple as that

Let them give block count

[hot rampart]

doubtfuly so

[quaint arch]

Do they look like they come from a supersoldiers project?

[hot rampart]

see the icon at top left

[tardy vigil]

Huh?

[quaint arch]

[violet vortex]

I have no clue what I’m looking for

[quaint arch]

That's probly gonna be the Event Shop icon

[hot rampart]

octopus icon top left aka abyssal

[violet vortex]

Oh the faction icon

[hot rampart]

others dont hv it

a different faction

[violet vortex]

Then they’re both wack

🚮

[quaint arch]

Oh, I forgot something

Base Skill

Where is it

[tardy vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/pog-pogfish-fish-openmouth-gif-20357594

Fihs nation eating good

[quaint arch]

Gladiia Base Skill Remedy where?

[violet vortex]

The only faction that matters is finally returning to the forefront

[quaint arch]

It's been uh.... 2 Years since Gladiia released

[violet vortex]

How could even make Ulpi bad look at that anchor

Imagine getting hit by it

Some may say even crushed

And he just kind of throws it around too like it isn’t an anchor

He has to be doing damage

What if as a Captain he has a Gladiia tier buff

But offensive

[quaint arch]

What if Hippo decided to screw the skill numbers?

That could happen

[violet vortex]

They’d have to screw everything

[quaint arch]

[violet vortex]

His skill numbers

His passive

His stats

The worst he can be is intentionally nerfed and average

Would have to be very blatant

Which like, they don’t really do

[hot rampart]

observation based on trailer so far

• S1: can hook enemies and drags them to him, also fairly long range
• S2: grants self regen, also probably increases block count due to crusher trait
• S3: throws anchor at an enemy, then redeploys himself into that tile. on deploy, he stuns them

[violet vortex]

Usually bad characters are due to poor direction

Or a niche that doesn’t fit

[hot rampart]

or having their legs cut off

[quaint arch]

Where's our thematically accurate 6* Reaper btw?

[hot rampart]

executor already feats that tho

"uses shotgun"

[quaint arch]

That's not a reaper thing

[hot rampart]

u talk as if reaper using shotguns cant be real when reapers using scythe is probably just an imagination coming from a past era of farmers

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

get with the time old man

reaper also needs to keep up with the time

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

@violet vortex btw thoughts on gladiia 2nd skin

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

despite having no hat in the splash art

i expect there to be a hat in the chibi

just like 1st skin

[violet vortex]

Significantly better than the first, wish she had a hat

I’ll probably get it

[tardy vigil]

Okay now I’m mad

yeah this is a good exhibit of modernized reaper

So now I’m disappointed

[quaint arch]

Yellow coins

[quaint arch]

It's Yellow Rocks at the very least

[tardy vigil]

If used for trade then it's coins

Amiya caster module is kinda great

[versed compass]

ok am sold

raising her when she drop

[hot rampart]

[versed compass]

hey its totally for gameplay

i dont even remember what she did in the pv

[hot rampart]

jessica archetype

[versed compass]

i know the archtype just dont remmeber what they showed

all i remmeber is ulpain blink

[violet vortex]

Sadly due to being an aegir and not a proper fish I have to decline these advances

[versed compass]

i wish ulpain was an earthshaker ngl

that anchor should be shaking earth every hit smh

[hot rampart]

earthshaker/crusher both fits him anyway

they went with crusher likely for AH buff cuz bigger base stats

[versed compass]

ya but you see if he was earth shaker
he can use s3 then echo slam them

[hot rampart]

idk how u would connect that with an anchor

earthshaker is actually for siege alter

[versed compass]

inb4 shining alter does it with a sword somehow

[hot rampart]

xd

no X6 on event so i went and did chips today

[quaint arch]

Typhon I sleep

[hot rampart]

2nd mod will buff this talent

but there's no clue what is the base effect is as there was no other puller with separate base module

[violet vortex]

Wow a thing no one will take

Even Gladiia by herself benefits from her module which vastly improves her

[versed compass]

maybe if they made it 4 and less + effect all AH

then could be niche for damage

[quaint arch]

Why trade a core survival kit for Damage?

[hot rampart]

more damage

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

u dont take damage if enemy dies faster

[versed compass]

sometimes enemies are no threat but also need good damage to fall down

so its an option

or will you facing seaborn so talent 1 is active modless :galaxybrain:

[hot rampart]

[quaint arch]

But -30% damage taken from any enemy is so good to pass

[versed compass]

oh ya i forgot i finished this one

[quaint arch]

M3S1

Oof

[hot rampart]

ouh right ulpian could really gives

elemental resist to abyssals instead

[tardy vigil]

useless swimming in module blocks

[versed compass]

huh

[tardy vigil]

do you use her?

[versed compass]

this is mastery not modules

[tardy vigil]

[quaint arch]

Typhon @versed compass

Not candle knight

[versed compass]

i did not post typhon module

nor hers being a bad one

[tardy vigil]

so anyway

do you use the deer

[versed compass]

and ya he seem to talk about candle knight not typhon

yes i use everything i e2

[tardy vigil]

is she cool

I happened to have 300k lmd

accidentally

[versed compass]

she look cool yes

if you regret it its not my fault

[tardy vigil]

I dont regret I wonder if raising her is cool to use

[quaint arch]

Yeah.. that can be an option.
It's just how often HIPPO will throw Elemental Hazard

[versed compass]

unironically i think anti elem damage is pretty whatever in general

eyja only see good use cause the little demon heal a fuck ton too

[quaint arch]

• Lil Gremlin

[versed compass]

heck dont think elem damage is being used a lot recently

[quaint arch]

^ Fact

[versed compass]

Dos was like most elem damage event we got as of late and the elem was countered by normal healing anyway (which eyja do best too so its whatever)

[hot rampart]

yeah duh

they just straight give eyja good heal numbers

if they dont do that and rely on her supposedly elemental niche she is shit

[quaint arch]

Also Limited

Need to make people interested to pull

[versed compass]

holy shit s3m1 typhon have huge boost

guess i do s3m1 into s2m3

[tardy vigil]

wow, I never noticed

or back in day had no those blue gels

[versed compass]

it goes from 4 hits to 5 hits on m1

that alone is bigger then some m0 to m3 gains

[tardy vigil]

eeeeeea

[violet vortex]

The worst thing Ulpi could get for his buff is elemental damage reduction or redeployment time

They’re so niche & barely relevant that they’d often go unnoticed

[tardy vigil]

looks great

[hot rampart]

seems like a reliable slow on s2

[tardy vigil]

if she gets jessicat s2 range

its amazing

[hot rampart]

they would showcase the range properly if thats the case

[tardy vigil]

[hot rampart]

so its just straight line for now

[Event Reward Operator]

//Underflow

"Doctor, it is nice to see you on land. Both of us are facing the same war, it is the reason why I am standing here now."

---

When going through the application procedures, Underflow submitted her career development evaluation file in Ægir. She thoughtfully adjusted the format and translated the content to ensure that the file could be opened smoothly on my computer and the text inside could be read easily by me. But to be honest, it was more like an encyclopedia of Underflow's life than a personnel file. It even described the whole process of the interaction between the one-year-old Underflow and her caregiver in the public foster home with pictures and texts...

When I read the file, Underflow stood upright in front of me, with a shield erected in front of her and a weapon on her waist. As long as I looked up, I would meet her sharp eyes. It was so scary, really so scary. How should I explain that I didn't need to read so many materials to go through the application procedures for her, and how should I explain that it was really embarrassing for me to read these private events in front of her...

Well, I couldn't say anything. In the end I spent seven hours reading the entire file under her gaze. Then, she started asking me what evaluation suggestions I had for her... How could I tell her that I was only responsible for stamping the document?

[tardy vigil]

How is this a downside?

I am supposed to use them as meatshield?

[hot rampart]

ok so the way mechanic work is that theres a bar at top that charges up

having civilians on the map means the bar charges slower

if there is less civilians the bar charges faster

thats it

all in all this event mechanic is pretty nothing burger and bruteforceable

[tardy vigil]

huh?

I thought getting them killed raises bar

didnt know they were reducing the growth

[hot rampart]

yuh

[tardy vigil]

still in both challenge and not I got 2 assassins

[hot rampart]

they raise bar when killed and the bar also charge faster

[tardy vigil]

this sniper deletes me
3 shots gravel, 2 shots texas, 3 shots gummy

[hot rampart]

yeah he deals a lot of dmg when the bar is red

[tardy vigil]

I need to wait typhon to reload before dropping another one into the grind

[hot rampart]

try sandwiching him between gravel and texas

by dropping gravel first

[tardy vigil]

I just used all 3 and he survived

maybe I need s3 m1 to kill him in 4 shots reliably

[civic linden]

You could also use gravel just to stall it

They become way less threatening when the red bar runs out

[tardy vigil]

I realized, you are right

does texas micro stun reset aa timing?

[civic linden]

Or you could tank it with lin and 1/2 healers

[hallow garnet]

oh shit ulpi is out

and he really is crusher

who was the prophet

[tardy vigil]

I need to find just some 100k lmd and upgrade Ines

to reveal his ass and delete for good

[hallow garnet]

@hot rampart was it u

[tardy vigil]

also yes, it is bruteforcable

just sometimes awkward with cheeky map design

jessican with riot shield can hold on, shes just on a different route

75% dodge goes brrrr

[hot rampart]

yeah

[hot rampart]

useless posted the "leak" like days ago but i did say a lot of time ulpipi will be crusher since his reveal

[hallow garnet]

ah okay

well male guard not surprising

but he should be better

cuz AH shit

[hot rampart]

they need to actually work hard to make him shit

[fluid verge]

I know gladiia skin is wearing a shirt but imma pretend it's a plunging v line instead

except horn and viviana, those are 100% horny

wont stop me from being horny at the slightest of fan service

Some real good food there

[hot rampart]

@fluid verge

[fluid verge]

It was just a tier list of thighs

[hot rampart]

actually hold

whose thighs are we talking about here

the new batch of skins or

[fluid verge]

Just in general

[hot rampart]

hmm yeah

[fluid verge]

Auntie skin and euncentes comes to mind

For me

[tidal hawk]

Has there been any sniper that deals art damage?

[fluid verge]

Does BP do arts with her poison?

[hot rampart]

yeh

closest to having some arts dmg but negligible amount

[fluid verge]

Rosmontis s1 is arts dmg

[tidal hawk]

No I mean like, their atk counts as arts, not through status effect, like arts guard and texalter

[hot rampart]

then no

[quaint arch]

That's Casters job, not Snipers job

[hot rampart]

this one probably

[tidal hawk]

They do a bad job at it, except eyja and logos

[fluid verge]

No love for gg

[tidal hawk]

She's a midliner between good and meh for me so...

[quaint arch]

Susie le average

[willow nymph]

Greyy

[fluid verge]

Global dmg too comfy

[willow nymph]

S2 deal arts

[fluid verge]

They have to deal arts dmg with basic attacks is what erial is asking for no?

[tidal hawk]

Yeah

[willow nymph]

Anyway it's stupid the only diff between caster and sniper is that casters deals arts on autos

It's like asking if a caster deal phys on autos

[tidal hawk]

Tomimi??

[willow nymph]

None do but ceobe and tomimi deal it ON SKILL

[tidal hawk]

Owh I misremembered it then

[willow nymph]

Tomimi deal arts offskill

[tidal hawk]

Owh alright

Was kinda hoping for Andoain for first arts sniper

[versed compass]

shira yuki

[tough matrix]

I finally got the power of nakamas

fuck

I bust from excitement and then I feel down

[hot rampart]

F

[tardy vigil]

post-bust clarity hits the hardest with this one

[tough matrix]

[willow nymph]

Yeah but thats also on skill he means as main damage

There's plenty of arts damage on snipers

But not snipers with the trait deal arts damage

[ebon sphinx]

in general snipers don't do that, because if they did, one would wonder why aren't they a caster

[tough matrix]

mlynar is the best sniper

probably second from thorns

[tidal hawk]

Including her basic atk?

[versed compass]

oh snipers are ranged phy by natural

while casters are ranged arts

[versed compass]

nah mlynar beat thorns

by great margin

[tidal hawk]

Yeah I meant like Texalter which deals percentage of dmg as arts as well

[versed compass]

texas only do it on skills like shira

the one who deal % as talent is like kirin

if you looking for arts from talent i guess wis summons and blue poison do have some bonus arts on talents

[tidal hawk]

Oh yeah Kirin

I don't count BP poison as the arts atk I was searching for

[versed compass]

in short
sniper talents : wisadel/bp
sniper skills : rosmo s1/greyy s2/shira s2

(now i just noticed 3 of those are flingers )

[quaint arch]

Imba Flinger 2nd Module gonna be % Atk as Arts

[bleak mirage]

What kinda animal is ulpianus though

[tough matrix]

my face when slight miss timing on skill activation

[ebon sphinx]

baleen whale

matching Skadi whos an orca

[hot rampart]

he is based on humpback whale

[ebon sphinx]

the new welfare is a Lionfish meanwhile

did you know that they are considered an invasive pest in the Atlantic side of the USA? And also tasty too

[bleak mirage]

Humback and orcas usually got problems no?

So now we have Daisuke and hitomi va together again

Gladiia and ulpian

I wonder if this is coincidence

[ebon sphinx]

probably not. And Orcas tend to hunt other whales or sharks yes

though one of the only times animal relationships are referenced is uh

Click(a zalak/rat or mouse) being afraid of big felines

[hallow garnet]

ulpi has a dash

wow

first dasher

and he just had to copy gladiia pull with s1

and s2 seems like self regen+block stuff so mountain s2?

[quaint arch]

I dun think it's infinite/toggle skill tho

[hallow garnet]

if it's toggle then it really is mountain s2

but if it's not then

idk what is it good for

probably s3 is gonna be the skll anyway

seems the most unique

but we will know soon

[quaint arch]

Nuuu, why powercreep AFK Skill again?

[hallow garnet]

well not much else to do

what do u want out of a new laneholder

they all do the same shit anyway

hold that damn lane with some self sustain

it's more of the same

[violet vortex]

Mountain s2 while already having Gladiia

[versed compass]

my face when air units are half strong :

mlynar solve too many air issue in IS its unreal

issues thorn/most snipers cant solve

[fluid verge]

I want a juggernaut AH

Like euncentes

[versed compass]

from the look of it it might be temporary dash
so you could go back and forth between 2 tiles

[fluid verge]

Would actually be insanely busted with their naturally high stats

Euncentes s3 but AH

Maybe they actually transform into fish

[versed compass]

reaper as AH cause reaper busted

so more busted

[fluid verge]

Defenders have strong passives from nian, horn, and hoshi iirc

That's dmg def buffs from having them on the team

[versed compass]

nian hoshi are hp/def iirc

[fluid verge]

Horn is atk

[hot rampart]

both are specter from her own official artist skade anni celebration art

Oh, I see

I don’t think I’ve seen them before

[wanton stratus]

My prefoessional opinion is that you should build her

[wanton stratus]

What even is this? I lost so many brain cells my brainrot cleared up a little

[hot rampart]

its a compilation of multiple different unrelated memes
put it in one video

but replace all the fucking punchline supposedly of each meme into the same fucking thing

https://tenor.com/view/aneurysm-brain-fart-aneurysm-brain-fart-gif-14245785396778695703

[wanton stratus]

By the way

What do earthshakers do?

Besides dunking

[bleak mirage]

Earthshakers?

As in dota 2?

[hot rampart]

flinger but melee

thats it

[wanton stratus]

So they produce an aftershock which deals 50% of atk?

And hit enemies equal to block count

[wanton stratus]

Yes, but it’s also a provisional name for a guard archetype

[hot rampart]

yeah but its only 1 aftershock

[bleak mirage]

Oh

[wanton stratus]

Strange

[bleak mirage]

Never heard of this archtype till now

[wanton stratus]

I wonder why HG felt the need for that archetype when both centurions and crushers exist

[hot rampart]

the 5* es has 1190 attack max lvl

its sorta a step in right direction for melee flinger

u give them good dph so aftershock will also deal good chunk of dmg

[hot rampart]

its their way of printing new characters with different kit
sometimes u just take a ranged version and make it melee or vice versa

[wanton stratus]

Considering Ulpianus is a crusher it feels like earthshaker is already an abandoned archetype ngl

[hot rampart]

altho unique one they introduced in recent year is just caper so far

[hot rampart]

eh no its still new so not that abandoned

u can apply this to primal caster with logos instead

or arts defender archetype that consist of shalem, asbestos , and durnar that dont have a 6* version yet

[wanton stratus]

Yea

[hot rampart]

actually maybe hunter too

[civic linden]

Centurions do feel very unexplored despite how old the archetype is....

I was surprised when i learned that the last centurion released before gavialter was blaze 💀

[wanton stratus]

It was Broca actually

[civic linden]

Oh

I guess gamepress was sorted by rarity

Btw Are the new 5*s in cn abyssal hunters too? Or just regular aegirs?

They don't have white hair and red eyes so my guess is just aegirs

[tardy vigil]

But then I would become the very thing I swore to destroy, lose my identity...

Give up who I was for a silly invis reveal

When I already have horn

Why I have 15 grindstone pentahydrates

[ebon sphinx]

regular Aegir according to faction icon

[ebon sphinx]

there's a few non Bard operators who'd fit the DnD class

[tardy vigil]

artificer will be so easy

[tardy vigil]

Virtuosa

[ebon sphinx]

yee

[tardy vigil]

the icon says it all

[ebon sphinx]

Fighter is gonna be a huge brawl due to the sheer amount of Guards

there's a bunch of fist fighters and whatnot for Monk but the obvious fit is Saga

[tardy vigil]

mountain?

[ebon sphinx]

Monk isn't just being a fist fighter if anything

it's also the mindset and whatnot

[tardy vigil]

idk shit about mountain

[ebon sphinx]

and Saga is a wandering ascetic monk

[tardy vigil]

he looks chill

rogue can be big contest between Ines and Texas

[ebon sphinx]

Mountain is that intimidating and strong looking guy who not only is actually gentle(most of the time) but also much smarter than he looks

[tardy vigil]

people will probably go with Ines because Texas is legally operating (this has nothing to do with rogue class, she is the perfect fit)

I love playing private detectives, big house affiliates etc

[violet vortex]

When are they dropping his kit

Got everyone waiting with bated breath on every aspect of him to see if they butcher for no reason

[hot rampart]

that still depends on his numbers to see if he is butchered or not

[violet vortex]

Is his kit out?

[ebon sphinx]

wait...2 more days

[hot rampart]

not yet

[civic linden]

I'll roll for him either way

[versed compass]

i have a feeling they gonna butcher him so he need AH to be playable

[ebon sphinx]

having ex-wife in comp alone makes him a juggernaut

between insane HP regen and 30% damage reduction

[tardy vigil]

I expect AH to be new "op meta busters"

its nice to create really useful groups for people to collect and engage in powercreep without single unit doing it all

promotes more variety, brings more money on people pulling for them

[ebon sphinx]

i know one artist who uh

insists on AH only clears

[civic linden]

AH is alredy a pretty solid niche tbh

[ebon sphinx]

their issue is mainly vs fliers since their only anti air is like Andreana

[versed compass]

their issue is damage in general

they just use pure stats to do any damage

(also gladiia can hit air too)

[violet vortex]

I’ve done several events with ah only they’re okay for almost anything really

[willow nymph]

not having any arts damage doesn't matter when the smallest hitter hit for 2k5 on skill

actually there's gladiia but negligible

[violet vortex]

I love Gladiia s3

[bleak mirage]

Gladiia is great

[violet vortex]

AH is pure because they don’t have anyone who’s gameplay is skill 3: expand range attack +1000% attack all in range yet

[bleak mirage]

For now

[hot rampart]

ulpian doesnt look like he does that either so still purist

meanwhile imagine if Doktah's signature is completely illegible

[wanton stratus]

Would you say Andreana is worth building if I plan to use AH + other ops in the same squad? @violet vortex

[wanton stratus]

The only way to prove they’re a real doctor

[violet vortex]

Free 20 attack speed

[ebon sphinx]

theres some chance Doktah's writing is indeed horrendous based on what Waltuh said
"'Wiš'adel', just sign my name here, right? Her Highness told me that this name means 'wishing for a home', but I never make wishes. Huh? The handwriting is too ugly? You don't have the right to point fingers."

[violet vortex]

And she’s the only dedicated sniper in the group

She’s not better than a good ranged unit

If that’s your question

I built her for just ah runs

[wanton stratus]

I’m probably holding off on building her for now in that case, I will do it later if I pivot into AbyssalKnights

Thank you

[tardy vigil]

Haze reduces res by 10%

That's bonkers

And her skill has big numbas, while getting damaged is honestly a skill issue anyway

[wanton stratus]

For 1 entire second per attack

[tardy vigil]

BY 20%

Or 23 with a bit of pot investment

[tardy vigil]

Permanent with m3

Also 25-25 so not long CD anyway and decent duration

If only I had any use for ST caster

[wanton stratus]

By 30% with maxed module and potential

Meanwhile Ifrit reduces RES by 40/44% by the enemy just being in her attack range

And it might be even more depending on what her upcoming module does

[civic linden]

Take in consideration that a 20% res reduction isn't thaat much since max res is 100

[wanton stratus]

Indeed

[tardy vigil]

She is a 6*. one that I don't have.
Bigger number not always means better, sometimes they carry on (abovementioned) downsides

[tardy vigil]

Reducing res by 10 or even 7 is MASSIVE

[tardy vigil]

Unbelievable numbers

[tardy vigil]

Y'all won

[tardy vigil]

0 block Texas, this can't be real

[willow nymph]

Haze applies debuff pre hit anyway

The uptime matters mainly for others

[willow nymph]

In dps terms it is

[wanton stratus]

I am the ghost of metas to come and if you have fun without using the broken 6* operators I disapprove

[willow nymph]

On 50 res enemy (surprisingly common)
It's +20% dps
On 80 res enemy it's +80% dps

Anything in the 90~100 range (surprisingly getting even more common) you just stonks dps like mad

Not like it matters cos click strongest 4* core caster

Wait what do you mean she's a drone caster and that's a diff arche

[wanton stratus]

What does strongest mean tho

[willow nymph]

Deal the most damage vs 90% of enemies and in 90% of cases

[civic linden]

Oh damm you're right

I though about just the raw damage number without thinking about the difference is percentage

[wanton stratus]

I would have guessed Rockrock was the strongest then

But alas

[willow nymph]

4*

and i don't think rockrock is that much better either despite the much higher total damage, stun is pretty relevant and so are shorter cycles with full damage

[wanton stratus]

My bad, I didn’t understand we were talking 4* only because Shadoba
