When does ray drop?

[hot rampart]

9th july

[wanton stratus]

Would’ve pulled for Ray, alas the operators coming after her are too strong and desirable

[civic linden]

Just remembered that ray is probably gonna get an australian VA

now i feel slightly worse sbout needing to skip her

[tardy vigil]

An official figurine cheaper than the skin ingame

[quaint arch]

Uhh...

[willow nymph]

god that's such a trash crit compared to stuff like ela

50% chance to do 180%

100% on mines

[quaint arch]

What do you expect from 6* and the powercreep at the same time?

[willow nymph]

ok let me switch it up

isn't kroos only 10% less

nvm

10% more

kroos owns

[quaint arch]

That's not fair. 3* can't reach E2

Use Krooster version

i mean Keen Glint

[willow nymph]

ok but mod then

[quaint arch]

Yes, it is

It's 175% Crit damage i say

[willow nymph]

i'd say it's like the 3*

[quaint arch]

20% Chance

[willow nymph]

175% indeed

[quaint arch]

I know this cuz i look at Talent w Module Comparison between them

[tardy vigil]

kroos 6* when

[willow nymph]

It's called ela

[tardy vigil]

HIIIII am Kroooooos

[quaint arch]

"Nah... Ela is a Trapmaster"

"Not Marksman."

[tardy vigil]

I mean another alter

it can be another class or whatever

[willow nymph]

kroosterer

[tardy vigil]

3* is busted and 5* is super meh

Is penance mod a must?

[quaint arch]

No.

But it's good one

[tardy vigil]

Wait I can just farm this?

[quaint arch]

It readjusted

To be about the same as the main story drop rates

[fluid verge]

All event stories will have their rates be the same as main story rates after its done

[tardy vigil]

Harold e1 lvl 70 308 atk, speed slow

Aha

Will be funny when I roll future unit and they get new mat on skill lvl 3

[versed compass]

i love this relic
pay 12 ingot
get 12 ingot + 2 other relics

[quaint arch]

-7% Atk

I wonder if there's anything that's worse than that

[ebon sphinx]

those genuinely feel bad unless you get more enemy attack debuffs

[willow nymph]

+def

-atk is very helpful in ed3 anyway

makes boss not oneshot your ass

[tardy vigil]

-atk is massive

it means you are 7% more tanky

(or more, if your armor matters)

it multiplicatively increases your tankiness along hp% buffs and healing outputs

[willow nymph]

nope way more than 7%

because it also scales all of your healing

and def works in a way that just make -atk good

[versed compass]

dont disrespect -atk relics lol

the damage is pretty big overrall in IS4

[willow nymph]

yeah

[versed compass]

speed run casters already a manace

[willow nymph]

also enemies have rather high aspd usually so it really lowers the hps checks

biggest exemple is the drones

[versed compass]

everyone have high aspd of the new units except bosses i feel

and every collapsal have some move speed boost or SS move speed so they gonna reach you anyway

[willow nymph]

f6 tainted carcass vs a 700 def unit goes from 339 dps to 282 dps

with the -7% atk relic

it's busted

if you want i can take harder hitting enemies and show it gets even better

[versed compass]

tbh i favor - atk over - def in IS4 (excluding hunter)

[willow nymph]

that mofo is literally the lowest phys attacker

arts -atk just better than +def because it... does shit

[versed compass]

ya and casters are like everywhere from floor 2 to 6

[willow nymph]

and yeah if i look for harder hitting enemies like the mumu event cars

you just strip 300 damage

which is as good as +50% def on most ops

[versed compass]

you can strip more from the chungus event melees you still die to their invis hit but still

[willow nymph]

yeah 12k just ain't tankable

other than amber shenanigans

[versed compass]

or using hero silence f5

[willow nymph]

amber aegis everyone 25k hp

[versed compass]

amber migration turn D15 to d0

i saw a newish player who rolled amber 20+ index and just stream rolled cresson d15 with shit squad

[versed compass]

its perfectly balanced rating when i have 2 units to e2

[wanton stratus]

Whoa, the fabled unlosable 50/50

[hot rampart]

nah id win

(i have 17 defender chips now and 6 medic chips will be used for whisperain so back to 0:17 )

god

[wanton stratus]

Why is she standing like that

Most ergonomic operator

[hot rampart]

to tempt me

if i say what i think i will get suspended

[willow nymph]

Spankable

[willow nymph]

Nah i'd spank

[fluid verge]

god i want a pillow lap with whisperrain

[wanton stratus]

She’s very cute when not acting psychotic

[hot rampart]

its what happen when u are raised up in a mafia household

alternate reality where she is a cute innocent girl who have cute pets cuz they didnt die from getting burned by her father's order

[ebon sphinx]

she'd basically end up like those kids who were raised by helicopter parents

[hot rampart]

mafia ass helicopter

[ebon sphinx]

unable to think anything for themselves

[hot rampart]

i think she does try think for herself alot but her father is right there everytime to shoot her down

picks up a pet during the sidestory event
days later got burned alongside some of her possessions
|| pet miraculously survived this time unlike the one she had when she was a kid ||
ignored her father orders and ramp a truck into the court
gets jailed
her father visit her himself and hit her hard

[quaint arch]

🔨

[bleak mirage]

So the next event with lappland is to kill her dad

Seems like the real solution to her problem

[hot rampart]

she did met her father at the end of siracusa just to say she be leaving the family name and not part of his mafia anymore

[bleak mirage]

Hey look at that

She solved it without violence too. Amazing

[ebon sphinx]

...kind of?

too bad about the low rank mafioso

[hot rampart]

collateral damage

[ebon sphinx]

trivia: she talks alot about making mille-feulle which is a euphemism for whatever happens to people she fights but apparently she actually makes a good actual mille-feulle dessert

[bleak mirage]

Server lappland

[hot rampart]

will be her alter skin for next year (her alter coming this year CN half anni ✊ )

[bleak mirage]

I’ll be down to see and read it

Meanwhile I need to figure out if I get rabbit or not

[ebon sphinx]

CN half anni is november

and Il Siracusano was 3.5

[bleak mirage]

Can’t wait for them to go to Columbia

[ebon sphinx]

Rhine Lab events are all Columbia by extension for the record

[bleak mirage]

No I’m talking chapter wise

Since we seem to be going across the globe

Besides mansfield break was columbia as well

[hot rampart]

next kjerag event gonna be about rhine lab setting up lab there

by extension columbia is involved

[ebon sphinx]

Kjerag, Kazimierz, Columbia and Victoria

[hot rampart]

dk what kazimierz gonna do in kjerag

they were just a group of new kazimierz campaign knights invited by discount holo

during degen event

[ebon sphinx]

SA signed a trade agreement with the spokesman, ergo meaning he has a partnership with the business side

[hot rampart]

just business i guess

kazimierz esport being hosted in kjerag special annual ceremony

kjerag cold snow as terrain hazard

[strong rampart]

Hey look. That FB post tagged #Spoiler

You should also do that.

[tidal hawk]

Oops okay

Here new spoiler:

I thought spoilers were alright here

[hot rampart]

please please please please please please please please please please please please

[tidal hawk]

Hey how come that is not spoiler tagged

[quaint arch]

Ewwww Spoiling

Banned for not spoiler tag stuff and while also being "Horny" @hot rampart

[quaint arch]

Must be baiting

[tidal hawk]

That's not considered bait?

[quaint arch]

It could've been more interesting if ya spoil tag it @hot rampart , but no. You have to spoil it to everyone's eyes

[hot rampart]

no

its not about story and most people here dont read much either so idk if story spoiler is that relevant

but only worthy of spoiler to me is just story

characters and npc sprites are like whatever

new gameplay elements such as new archetypes or new playable characters are also whatever

character sprites are spoiler territory if their sprite is like detrimental to the story aka an important character who "died" before or the sprite having some "damaged" aspect to it to show they got hurt during the story

[quaint arch]

I still prefer spoiler tag, just in case

[hot rampart]

u know what u think should be spoiler territory specifically for u?

base skills

i dont see u as someone who priorities importance of gameplay elements nor story

why should u care about spoiler tags of em

or implying to care

[quaint arch]

🤷

[hot rampart]

yeah that one u posted is alright

not really deserve spoiler tag

so lazy to click em just to see basic information

[quaint arch]

Right.....

Welp, pardon me.

[bleak mirage]

I do read story

Especially the actual chapters

[tardy vigil]

So much is said without a single word...

[tardy vigil]

Columbia is for endfield

[tired gulch]

Not to mention, you lot have already seen her before

And everyone knows that you should never touch her stuff

Just sit like a good boy so she can feed you

[tardy vigil]

Lappland or Leto

[hot rampart]

i dont like lappland design much but as a character she cool

[tardy vigil]

I feel like phys dmg is a scam because with big armor she will do 0 dmg

Even with 50% art res lapp still gonna do 50% of dmg

[tidal hawk]

I deleted and resend my message for basically nothing?

I demand time rewind

[hot rampart]

yeah sadly any multihit physical dmg dealer

just falls flat against higher defense

interestingly they work better with buff but i wish HG isnt fucking stingy at making buff centric operators kit to be decent

[tardy vigil]

buffs break the game, it is understandable

when I even want to use lord?

and ground based anti air?

[hot rampart]

its all flavors

u can put them behind defenders but what stopping u from puttin other ranged dps behind defender

also being a melee unit gives them a lot more flexibility for placement in stages cuz theres far more ground tiles than ranged tiles

the times where this isnt the case is where the stage specifically ban a lot of ground tiles

[tardy vigil]

but if I put them behind defenders Leto gonna be useless against high armor

[hot rampart]

duh

[tardy vigil]

problem with lapp is that her auto trigger skill with offensive recovery is ass

[hot rampart]

true

[tardy vigil]

• do jack shit for 40 seconds
• kill one enemy, wave is over, waste most of the skill

[hot rampart]

u killed too fast with other operators maybe

[sharp tartan]

Using lappland for anything but silence

[hot rampart]

[hot rampart]

oh my goodness gracious

https://tenor.com/view/pepsu-gif-25384113

[tardy vigil]

why would I need silence?

[hot rampart]

jihad spiders

seaborn enemies especially those fuckers with 90% dodge

[quaint arch]

Or Stunning Fella

[quaint arch]

Any M6 Plan?

[hot rampart]

no im a semi hoarder

her mod is not the one where it removes the healing penalty for further targets too...

[quaint arch]

Oh...

It gives status resist, so her talent is always active for her

But okay

[civic linden]

Most recent exaple would be the exploding armored guys from last event, you could silence the explosion and prevent them from turning off the torches

[tardy vigil]

Just brute force it

Jessicat shield was useful to keep them away from the tourch

[tardy vigil]

So y'all still recommend raising Lapp?

[ebon sphinx]

yes

[hot rampart]

ye

theres no maint?

[willow nymph]

small event

meanwhile cn getting 6hr maint for nymph because it preloaded is5

[fluid verge]

when is the cn maint done?

[quaint arch]

JP got Early Access

[willow nymph]

is done

I got ascalon and not the crappy caster smh smh

[quaint arch]

Crappy Caster?
Warmy?

sigh

[willow nymph]

nymph

6* diamante so good

[sharp tartan]

Wheres warmy

[willow nymph]

6* warmy would have been better

[quaint arch]

@ Natsu, your Resplendent Phoenix got Deered?

[quaint arch]

Ain't no way bruh

Not even 5* Burn Ritualist been released yet on CN

[willow nymph]

burn is the superior elemental damage type for a dps

and uh warmy > diamante

i'll die on this hill

[quaint arch]

What in the Science Math?

[willow nymph]

simple better skill better talent better elemental damage type

would you rather
have better cycle and instantly deal 9k1 when you proc burn damage
or worse cycle for slightly more damage and IF SOMEONE ELSE proc apoptosis deal as much damage as warmy over 5 attacks considering you won't switch target even if they'd get killed by apoptosis anyway

[quaint arch]

8k5?

Your on Mobile?

[willow nymph]

yeah burn is instantly 7k elem damage + warmy's talent

and warmy is 2k1 per proc if maxed

[quaint arch]

Oh... You meant 8,500 back there

8k5 confused me

8.5k would not there

[willow nymph]

skill issue

[sharp tartan]

Oh warmy is a caster

[willow nymph]

nah she's 2nd worst caster in ak

[quaint arch]

Tomimi is the Worst Caster?

[willow nymph]

no

diamante is

[quaint arch]

[willow nymph]

tomimi post mod range is ok and her damage is pretty high

she can clear 1-7 unlike a certain waste of air

[quaint arch]

Windflit?

[willow nymph]

no diamante

but yea windflit suck too

[quaint arch]

Sounds like I've been called out.

[willow nymph]

valarq is like not terrible in is4 because she does enough ed to proc fairly well

diamante tho

[hot rampart]

ritualist also doesnt fucking suck against high res enemies becuz their elemental build up damage scales on their attack stats and not arts damage dealt like primal shit

primal caster design feels like they are a win more archetype where they deal arts damage and extra elemental damage

but then designer cuts their legs off by making them not dealing elemental build up the first place to proc their extra elemental damage and then cuts their arms off by making their skill that do make them deal elemental build up scale on their arts damage dealt

[willow nymph]

yep

meanwhile logos "the i'm not a primal caster but..." deals enough damage to proc it against everything that doesn't die before it procs

[versed compass]

sadly this mean everyone in general content

I mean if you live more than 3 logos s3 shot you're tanky af

Swire Alter
ATK +81 | DEF +60
When receiving lethal damage, if there is sufficient DP, consume 5 > 3 DP instead and recover HP to 70%. DP cost doubles > increases by 3 DP every time this Talent is triggered

is it me or this is kinda crazy

[ebon sphinx]

it makes it more practical but I wouldn't call it crazy

[hot rampart]

she can die more

[willow nymph]

is very good yeah

makes revive talent like usable beyond twice

to like 10 times

[tardy vigil]

So she has 100%+700% hp

[tardy vigil]

Lack of details make them bland

Added strip is the catchy detail to pin your attention

[willow nymph]

no because the more important part is that she voids the hit that kills her

so you can block someone that deals 10k per hit for long

or afk stall a boss that has an ability that deals outrageous damage while being tankable by swire normally on autos

example is like talulah that swire perfectly stalls out but needs to be maxed otherwise she dies a bit too often

now with new module she probably does it easy at s1 sl7 e2 60

damn.. no ray pullers?

[vagrant tusk]

[versed compass]

low on pulls

[bleak mirage]

I might. I don’t mind aussies

[hallow garnet]

oh ray is out

but she skip

isnt she

ah yea she is

threw a 10pull on her

but she gets no more

annitix in a year maybe

but we have some tough banners coming

my dear zuole

[versed compass]

i mean if you want to max CC2 you probably want her (or borrow her idk)

[hallow garnet]

i will borrow her

im sure somebody will roll her here

[versed compass]

just get her while pulling for shu/zuo banner :bigbrain:

[hallow garnet]

ah no

i exclusively offrate hags

on lim banners

p1435546 hag

[versed compass]

off rate her in summer banner then

hag will move to kernal by then

[hallow garnet]

thank god

get her out of my sight

i gave her everything

[versed compass]

they pretty much gonna move oldest year to kernal every year

[hallow garnet]

saw new typhon skin

idk who this shit artist is

but she still loks SHIT

her face is still so awkward

and the graphic style is so bad

i cant with this

her IS skin actually has a decent art

but the chibi sucks

cuz she loses her longbow

and gets a crossbow for no reason

so her animations dont make sense

on the flipside ray e2 looks SO GOOD

[versed compass]

on the other hand reed look good on any skin

[hallow garnet]

shes so smug

yeah

[versed compass]

speaking of reed

[hallow garnet]

where is the witch skin

or when is that coming

i forgot

[versed compass]

now

[hallow garnet]

oh shit

[versed compass]

should be in shop

[hallow garnet]

wait reedic got TWO l2ds?

i forgot witch skin was l2d

[versed compass]

yes

first non limited to have 2 l2ds

[hallow garnet]

how long till zuole ?

a month?

[versed compass]

ya more or less

[hallow garnet]

oh right

ceobe worth investing now

isnt she

whta does she need again?

s2m3

and mod3?

[hot rampart]

just s2m3 and very hard bread

mod 3

[hallow garnet]

alright

i'll get to it

i am out of projects anyway

she can be my ray patch project

[versed compass]

she has been for a while i think

its niche but solid niche

[hot rampart]

gg in shop soon

[hallow garnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1AT89F2MrY

also looking at cc2 stuff

this doesnt have ray

i have been lied to

but it has TSUKINOGI OF ALL THINGS

[hot rampart]

CC is easy

[versed compass]

am sure i said (if you care about max)

[hallow garnet]

whats max

[versed compass]

620 is not max

[hot rampart]

ray is for max or high CC

which is over 700

[versed compass]

max risk

[hallow garnet]

no i mena

[hot rampart]

max risk is like

[hallow garnet]

number

[versed compass]

620 is for reword

[hot rampart]

825

[hallow garnet]

aaah

620 = r18

[hot rampart]

620 is just r18

[versed compass]

620 is beaten by like lin + low rarity iirc

[hallow garnet]

okay

LIN

yay

[versed compass]

lin is pretty cheese to the main enemy mechanic

[hot rampart]

the claw lookin mf dont deal dmg to lin

[versed compass]

they have low damage
but get more damage when they do damage
they dont do damage

problem solved

[hot rampart]

so he just stays still hitting lin

[versed compass]

they could have fucked over her with a risk that make them gain stacks passivly or never losing the starting stacks or something

but they were nice this time

[hot rampart]

ouh it works like that

[hallow garnet]

i found a 870 clear

oo

this one indeed has ray

[hot rampart]

i thought the attack ramp up but its not enough dmg (i find this hypothesis flawed myself cuz its cc)

[versed compass]

at high stacks they will just shred lin ass rather quickly

[hallow garnet]

alr which one of you will roll her for me?

[hot rampart]

im not rolling

this all i get with 10 pull

[hallow garnet]

theres no good caster trainer wut

then we go irene all they way

[versed compass]

carne?

[hallow garnet]

who

[hot rampart]

carnelian

[versed compass]

your mom

[hallow garnet]

i know

im joking

i dont have her leveled

obviously

[hot rampart]

next best caster trainer is logos

[hallow garnet]

shes garbage

[versed compass]

anyway with logos release you dont have to irene casters at all !!

[hallow garnet]

logos my pretty

[hot rampart]

and supporters

he basically irene but for caster and supporters

so um let me see

next normal rate up banner that aint limited

is ascalon?

[hallow garnet]

yea

im skippign her

[hot rampart]

other than that its all limited + collabs

[hallow garnet]

is nymph limited?

[hot rampart]

nope

[versed compass]

no

[hallow garnet]

thank god

[versed compass]

neither is ulpain

ulpain is big event

[hallow garnet]

ye i knew that

[versed compass]

ny is small event

[hot rampart]

sorry i should specified until Walter

[hallow garnet]

github is not updated at all

[versed compass]

everything post wisadel is pretty tame

in comparsion to before wisadel

[hallow garnet]

it's too quiet yea

so we may get a bigshot again

[hot rampart]

after walter its ulpian with my leftover rolls if walter doesnt nuke my stash (she will )

[versed compass]

like ulpain is just a buff to AH and pretty irrelevant to non AH players
nymph is another st CC tool that probably gonna be countered by immune enemies anyway

[hallow garnet]

p6 logos pls

[hot rampart]

i just like ulpian design

[versed compass]

i had big hope for the hp per hit talent

[hot rampart]

anchor as a weapon is rad as fuck

[versed compass]

i was very desappointed

[hallow garnet]

ulpian seemed whatever

[versed compass]

ok tide hunter

[hallow garnet]

we get too many op shits these days

[hot rampart]

erm its like good tho

[hallow garnet]

that regular units just seem whatever to me

[versed compass]

100 hp per hit is pretty much 100 def vs phy

100 def sucks :ya:

its solid for arts tanking or poison mist

[hot rampart]

it procs against DotS and fix ccrusher problems against low dmg fast atk speed enemies

[versed compass]

i dont think it fix crusher problems

100 is very low even by fast hitters standards

[hot rampart]

thats the thing its better than def cuz it also procs against DoTs

[versed compass]

dots are not as common

[hot rampart]

also it does help actually

[versed compass]

i guess its nice dot counter but really dont fix the typicall no def problem

he really was made with gladiia on mind tbh

like id imagine hoe surviving better in most cases then ahless ulpain

[hot rampart]

he doesnt die to dogs unlike hoe

[versed compass]

he will die to dogs

dogs have pretty solid attack

the strong ones i mean

[hot rampart]

if u mean nacho versions nobody does

[versed compass]

the weak ones get one shotted anyway nobody care about them

[hot rampart]

it matters for stage openers

[versed compass]

ya and they get one shotted by hoe lol

[hot rampart]

some barely survive and get to hit more attacks

[versed compass]

hoe dies to only tougher fast hitters from expereince

and wont kill hoe in those few attacks

like if hoe die in an opener
i bet ulpain dies too (unless its poison map or something)

[hot rampart]

no

[versed compass]

of course not including gladiia in all of that

[willow nymph]

yeah hoe can just proc s3 before dying

most of the time

really not his issue

his issue is being a mid ass melee op that isn't worth bringing in 99% of cases compared to other melee 6* guard

ulpian no gladiia is about as tanky as hoe before skill
He wins by having a much better s3 cycle

and let's be real s2 is unusable no healer/gladiia because of windup sucking so much

[versed compass]

i probably wont look at his diraction either way

oh will 2 skips post wisadel is pretty good for me cause surely summer will have some insane units

[hot rampart]

i hope summer characters are alters of ones i dont carw about so i can skip

[versed compass]

am actually waiting to see if HG gonna ever release nami 3rd child

[hot rampart]

just like eyja and swire

nami 3rd child could just be future RA expansion welfare

[versed compass]

am gonna shot you if thats her fate

[hot rampart]

bet

[versed compass]

and hg gonna shot them self in the foot if they put her units out side of banners

10/10 condition

[devout zenith]

@quaint arch Would you like to do the honors?

on all 4s of course

well not all 4s

should have gotten a single hh as well

[glacial breach]

Think Im skipping ray

Degen cut too deep into my stash

Fukn 200 pulls for 1 copy

[mossy tinsel]

Me too.

[wanton stratus]

[devout zenith]

400/400/400 baby

[wanton stratus]

It’s beautiful

[ebon sphinx]

what did it cost? I am not exaggerating if my answer is everything considering I have almost no rolls left

48(+7 from earlier pity) of it

I sadly didn't get the smol bunni but thems the breaks

in a rare moment, Sniper Chip stage is actually open

usually they get you on non relevant chip days on purpose

i should consider cleaning up my operator challenge stages for extra 200 orundum each

[bleak mirage]

I like ray

[ebon sphinx]

shes a strong ST Sniper, nice design, good VA...her crime in current AK CN is "Ela and Waltuh exists" more than anything

Also, one should be thankful that Ray is the only operator on Rhodes Island who has a Sandbeast, because she didn’t give it a name. Most people who have a pet will attempt to condition the pet into responding to a certain name or syllable, but Ray calls the Sandbeast by blowing into a whistle supposed to mimic the call of a Sandbeast. Maybe she’s really just that bad at naming things, like how her codename that she took from her real name Layla, Ray, was just the name on the nametag a worker in Rim Billion wrote and stuck on her because they couldn’t quite spell properly; or maybe she really thought that the name “Sandbeast” was a good name, for it was unique, just like how she liked her codename, “Ray”. she has extremely poor naming sense

[civic linden]

how many pulls would be considered a safe zone for getting the most of the limiteds that will be coming soon?

[ebon sphinx]

Operator Warmy's condition is stable. According to the patient herself, she previously took a blend of Originium slug slime and ice cold bottletree sap to bring down her high Oripathy-induced fevers. Apparently a Rim Billitonian home remedy, according to her guardian. We consulted a variety of medical literature and were unable to prove the effectiveness of the individual ingredients' ability as an Oripathy treatment. As such, the medicine's effectiveness is still up for debate. ...originium slug slime

[civic linden]

i've got like 100 pulls rn (most likely in the danger zone )

[ebon sphinx]

i cannot tell you that, i often live in the danger zone

[ebon sphinx]

That day, Repair Workshop No. 3 got a new intern smith named Alanna. She's a talented girl. On the day she reported in, she broke all the records for the funny-faces staring contests our old craftsmen regularly held. She even made fun of them: "You can't beat me, much less Potlid!"
At first, the old workmen all thought that this "Potlid" would be some gifted, stern master who had trained for years, only for Alanna to later tell them that Potlid is the girl who came here with her to get treated.
The craftsmen were all furious, and kept asking Alanna to bring Potlid there for a competition. As expected, they all lost.
The little girl opened her eyes wide, and her lips had but a faint curvature. No matter what kind of faces they made, she didn't move one bit.
The craftsmen all accepted their defeat afterwards. They even gave her an even more amazing nickname—"The 100 Degree Potlid." But not because she can easily boil water with her Originium Arts, but rather—
Because the curvature of her smile forms a perfect 100 degree arc. Rock measured a photo of her with a protractor, and he was completely certain of this.

Is penance skin worth?

Considering I have like 40 pulls before the funny event

Ok 50

Any drunk penance havers

[ebon sphinx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIIyKi7HSTc

Sorry champ, I’m gonna have to dock some points since you didn’t write out the answer properly

Pretty much

[wanton stratus]

Don’t worry, your alt is getting all the luck anyway

[quaint arch]

Wat de heck?
400k Orundumb means 666.6666666 Pulls

That's a bad number @devout zenith

The Prime Roccs is 120 Pull Worth

[vagrant tusk]

Time to spend half of the pulls today to make it an auspicious number

[ebon sphinx]

hrrm Reed so popular she gets 2 L2Ds, don't think anybody else does without being limited

[quaint arch]

⛽ 💪

[sharp tartan]

Me wanting a single copy of warmy
Game be like:

Yes i spend my entire pull to get a warmy

And i dont get any

[civic linden]

i got no Warmy so...eh, might as well just let her pop up in the future

[mossy tinsel]

Did everyone see Guin's new AK webcomic? Sick Pantless Kal is super cute!

[wanton stratus]

Pantless?

[tardy vigil]

Ah hell naa this looks much better

[tardy vigil]

She looks much better than Harold on paper

Why did I even raise him

[wanton stratus]

Her weapon looks weird outside of S3

Kendama ahh looking sledgehammer

[versed compass]

mom can we have CC0?

we have CC0 at home

CC0 at home :

[sharp tartan]

this is like a 100 pull
i got 2 ray and a flametail but 0 warmy

i just want a fucking 5 star

[tardy vigil]

Will ray be in standard banner?

Or I should assume everyone gets in the standard banner and will have reruns on some stupid 4op banners?

(besides 300 spark limiteds)

[versed compass]

yes everyone but the limiteds and collab go to standard

tho not everyone get a rerun of their event (degen will / ray wont)

[ebon sphinx]

if they don't say it's limited, its standard

[hot rampart]

https://youtu.be/LgbVJOVxK6A?si=bQ6J7rC5JB_EbA1P

imagine this being your cons

[versed compass]

i mean thats ray luck

she happen to drop before 3 broke ass banner

and those 3 broke ass are 2 limiteds and a collab

[tardy vigil]

2 limiteds?

[versed compass]

shu and wisadel

[tardy vigil]

Healing defender is limited?

Truly a skip of all time

[willow nymph]

Uh no?

Shu's like

Broken as hell

[tardy vigil]

Sure, as expected of limiteds

[ebon sphinx]

not all limiteds are made the same btw

[willow nymph]

She make enemies warp back to their place
Give everyone in a stupid range regen shelter
Buff atk and atkspd of everyone by 25 during s3
Buff hp atk atkspd of everyone if certain amount of diff classes/suiblings/same classes are deployed

Also her hps is stupidly high

That kit is so goddamn stacked

[tardy vigil]

Sure

All limiteds I have seen are reasonably stscked

[willow nymph]

That's reasonable in no universe

[tardy vigil]

You could say the same about wisadel, Texas, virtuosa

[willow nymph]

No

Virtuosa buffs are way worse

[tardy vigil]

Virtuosa isn't a buffer

[willow nymph]

She gives +30% hp atk def to herself or an ally on skill
Slows everyone in range and deal enough apo damage to proc everyone

[versed compass]

virt is not as stacked as wis/texas or shu

if anything virt feels a lot more in the balanced catagory of ops

unlike shu/wis/ela

[tardy vigil]

"Balanced" deals only true damage

Idk guys, in my book this isn't balanced

[versed compass]

you make it sound like doing true damage is suddenly the most op shit or something

[willow nymph]

Shu gives +37% atk aspd and +12% hp to EVERYONE in range
Enemies stop advancing
Heals like blemi s3 without drawbacks

[versed compass]

try that vs high hp enemies and watch how that true damage is way worse then average phy

[tardy vigil]

I tried it against 100 res enemies and it worked wonders

[willow nymph]

Yeah true is generally not a cookie cutter damage type

[versed compass]

24k? true damage vs the average 100k phy damage units

[tardy vigil]

Covering both stupid res lane and stupid def lane because of her huge ass aoe range

[versed compass]

its only really shine when CC overnerf your shit that the fixed damage do wonders

[willow nymph]

Only exception is with ritualist+primal combo as showcased in kr-s-2 with nymplh virtuosa

[versed compass]

eww combos 🚮

but anyway virt is pretty balanced and not really stacked

shu is just bull shit

ela is bigger bullshit

[willow nymph]

I swear nymph having a showcase with a limited op is hilarious

[versed compass]

wisadel is even bigger bullshit

[tardy vigil]

A shame I want to skip every one of those

[versed compass]

nymph s3 feels like ass if you dont run virt

so i guess if i roll her she will be s2m3 and forget

[willow nymph]

I think shu is bigger bs than ela
It's just less visible because she's "support"

[tardy vigil]

But will likely try ela

[versed compass]

its funny how logos is actually a bull shit dps too

just wisadel is so bullshit people talk about him less

[willow nymph]

It's the spec ops so no one complains about it

My logos : based and greenpilled
Your Waltuh : cringe and redpilled

[hot rampart]

its also the only caster that is better than eyja

a release operator

snipers are too obvious cuz u have build up of

typhon > ray > waltuh

[versed compass]

i feel like they trying to go back and not release more powercreep casters with nymph

[hot rampart]

people were also noisy about pozy vs schwarz back in the day

[versed compass]

granted she have her cool usage

[hot rampart]

nymph is balanced as far as i can see but balanced = mid in these players eyes

[versed compass]

fear look pretty overpowered

until they slapp immunites on enemies

[willow nymph]

i'd argue nymph is better simply because her s3 sp cost doesn't suck

[hot rampart]

nah u cappin brah

her s3 needing a limited unit to deal that extra true dmg reliably is already questionable

her s2 fear is debatable thing about her

[versed compass]

using s3 virtless sound cringe
use s2 like you should be

[willow nymph]

s3 nymph no ED is still higher damage than eyja s3 on 2 targets

[hot rampart]

higher total dmg?

[willow nymph]

yes she doesn't have -1.1 atk interval reduction +150% atk

"only" +220% atk +60 aspd

is basically a shitty logos s3 if there's no ED

[tardy vigil]

Damn sexy

[willow nymph]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuqYhmRSivQ

Ascalon enemies are damn tanky btw

from a random on discord

tldr less damage than logos until very high res

thanks for coming to my ted talk

[hot rampart]

i need verification on her s3 damage type

is it only elemental damage when hitting necrosis affected enemies?

no more arts

[willow nymph]

it's arts EXCEPT if enemy is under necro

[hot rampart]

so arts when no necrosis

full on elemental when necrosis?

[willow nymph]

yep

[tardy vigil]

Ray 2 shotting patriot with s1

[hot rampart]

it might as well be true dmg cuz theres still yet to be enemies with elemental res

[willow nymph]

Attack Range Increases , Attack +220%, Attack Speed +60 , and attacks 2 targets at the same time, if the target is in the period of Apoptotic Damage Break, Attacks deal elemental damage
me when this deals less damage than
Attack Range Increases Attack Damage , gains +300% , and attacks 4 the flight speed of enemy bullets within the attack radius targets at once, greatly reducing , and clearing them all at the end of the skill

Logos talent are truly too stupid

[hot rampart]

yeah logos talent makes him have a chance to do an extra attack

[willow nymph]

it's rolled separately for each target so with enough rerolls you could reach 400k ST total damage on s3

[ebon sphinx]

Counting this some could say 20 is lucky

But counting both it's 110

[quaint arch]

sigh F5 Secluded Passage Heavier Mob effect got me good

Didn't get good Phys Dealer

Was trying to D10 Treescar with Leader Squad

Gotta take a drink for this loss

[willow nymph]

logos (orange)
logos suzu (purp)
QB suzu (green)
tutu nymph (dark blue)
surtr suzu (blue)

yep logos is a pretty alright operator

(ST s3 total damage with one buffer)

[willow nymph]

I trust this random way less than the guy who made https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1LE421P7WU

[quaint arch]

Qhew Bay + Suzuran Combo is more powerful than LOGOS + Suzuran...

[willow nymph]

only at low res

and QB does get an extra 1.2 scale from suzu

with mod

[quaint arch]

1.2x "if Bind & Slow at the same time" Modifier

Btw, is QB Logos Suzuran Trio a thing for Veterans?

[willow nymph]

Logos alone kills all of of gen content

qb logos suzuran works very neatly yeah jokes asides

if you wanna do some overkill shit tho
Reedic s2 saria logos

[quaint arch]

Reedic S2

Sandwiching

Can't we not?

[willow nymph]

reed s2 does have the highest arts dps in the game

[quaint arch]

True

Such Medic

[willow nymph]

so yeah the sandwich is kinda op

[quaint arch]

What are the other veteran combos lately?

[willow nymph]

not many combos because the dps kill shit alone

[quaint arch]

Right

[willow nymph]

ig cycling logos walter works as "combo"

[quaint arch]

No

[willow nymph]

100% uptime map deletion

even has 2 amazing slowers for enemies that walk fast

and logos buff the turret damage

such synergy

[quaint arch]

Turret?

Stainless?

Wait... No

That won't make sense actually

Stainless Turrets Deal Phys...

Oh wait... You meant Walt Summons, did you?

[wanton stratus]

What game?

[ebon sphinx]

ZZZ, they have smol rabbits like that

and the dialogue there is "There's still lots of work that needs to be done, Doctor. You can't rest now"

Amiya's line if you idle

theres a bit of a meme depicting Amiya being a slave driver towards Doctor thanks to that line

[wanton stratus]

I see

Very educative

[civic linden]

I wanted to try out zzz but...
"110 GB needed to download files, please free up space" ⚰️

[ebon sphinx]

and done with event

...funny that i kind of ask out of genuine curiosity but also shitpost about Ray's design and people say theres indeed a practical reason why she dresses like that, mainly "its hot in the mines"

[willow nymph]

artist wanna draw hot outfit
artist draws hot outfit
character sells
everyone happy

[bleak mirage]

Atleast now she ain’t in the mines

[willow nymph]

You sure?

[hallow garnet]

aaa ray is s coolio

but so bad timing girl

[glacial breach]

Shes really cool yeah, I just have to be selective of who I pull atm because degen destroyed my funds

[mossy tinsel]

Ray looks pretty cool, I like how she can push enemies with her S1.

[bleak mirage]

Yeah I’m positive. Vast difference between the actual mines she was in and what you’re stating.

[quaint arch]

1-7 Mines Oriroccs tho

[bleak mirage]

Drip too hard gang

[tardy vigil]

I need lmao sand star farming stage in event

Dat shit is insane, drops 1 in 4 runs

https://tenor.com/view/taskmaster-task-master-fern-brady-have-we-met-before-meet-gif-13633185591089048737

[quaint arch]

Yes

[hot rampart]

they also made crownslayer much much tankier so longer bully time without her dying from some damage

[sharp tartan]

All those cars and these pepegas still dies to being ragdolled

[tardy vigil]

Guys how to win

[hot rampart]

erm

just win

[tardy vigil]

I was never so close

[quaint arch]

Pallas Pasta

Also ASPD Relic

[willow nymph]

S3 vivi still better even w pasta

[tardy vigil]

Pallas deleted him in like 4 seconds

Lmao

5k double hits go hard

Or 7k, idk

[tardy vigil]

Not just pasta

Spinach pasta and bend spears-bloodbath

[willow nymph]

Yeah
Doesnt benefit from all your atkspd

[tardy vigil]

It does

Wdym

[willow nymph]

S1 literally has auto recovery

[tardy vigil]

Guards regen 2 sp after each attack

Almost like an offensive recovery

[willow nymph]

How about perma uptime s3

[tardy vigil]

It isn't Perma uptime

You still go down for like 15 sec

[willow nymph]

With bloodbath and atkspd it almost is

[tardy vigil]

And s3 reduces attack interval

Why?

[willow nymph]

And 3 range is way valuable

[tardy vigil]

Nah

I don't need it

[willow nymph]

Multiplicative with atkspd

Btw

[tardy vigil]

Or I could take s1

And have perma shield

Anyway I didn't even drop her

[willow nymph]

You dont run into shield issues already with any amount of aspd

[tardy vigil]

Vivi is truly pointless

[willow nymph]

I mean that's not news

[bleak mirage]

Bro ray is fun

Slows and shoots em up

[ebon sphinx]

some characters have fun reloading animations i say

like Ray rapid reloading or how Fartooth has a full animation for loading swordbolts

[bleak mirage]

I don’t even have her at e2 yet

[wanton stratus]

Don’t we all

[quaint arch]

[wanton stratus]

This event was a bit underwhelming

[willow nymph]

It's a vignette event?

[wanton stratus]

I know

[willow nymph]

It was fine honestly lots of hole maps to play with

[wanton stratus]

You seem to have enjoyed it more than I did, then. I’m glad

[willow nymph]

Maybe it's because i cleared it no 6* spec only

Last map cm was turbo ass so i just took ines

[wanton stratus]

Tbh I don’t understand how you would have beaten even the normal mode since specialists don’t have any invis reveal iirc nvm I forgot what the challenge condition was

[tardy vigil]

This map requires invis reveal??

I only did 3 stages

[wanton stratus]

Invis reveal or operators who block 4

Specialists have neither

[tardy vigil]

Wow

[wanton stratus]

Only CM

[willow nymph]

Kafka sweep for normal mode

[mossy tinsel]

This event was fun, all my pushers and pullers had a blast that's for sure!

[willow nymph]

Yep

[hot rampart]

rg 5

[mossy tinsel]

The Lobby OST for Grinning Valley has been stuck in my head since the event started.

[tidal hawk]

Do you still need ray if you can get Wisadel?

[wanton stratus]

Nobody needs Ray

[civic linden]

it goes so hard

[glacial breach]

She does rays job kinda better

Ray doesnt do anything unique or special really besides range extension

Well the playstyle is unique I guess

And the bind is neat

[willow nymph]

Walter just kills map

Ray you atleast pretend you play the game

[glacial breach]

Id get her if I had the funds

Tried a 10 pull but nah

[bleak mirage]

Slow od

[hallow garnet]

alr doggo m3 done too

[hallow garnet]

no

walter beats every dps

every sweeper

everything in general

and you never really "need" anything tbh

[tidal hawk]

I see

[hallow garnet]

my advice on ray is this

if you care for max risk CC

skip her and borrow her for it

if you dont care for max risk CC, skip her and dont borrow her

if you care for Ray personally cause you love her look, skills etc. throw a 10pull on her, if you dont get her, skip her, offrate her later or buy her off annitix

ray is very good but the timing of her debut is awful

sandwiched between degen and 2 back to back limited banners

[tidal hawk]

Uh huh

[hallow garnet]

lastly, if you do not care for meta, you dont care for collecting limited ops, and neither shu, nor ela piqued your fancy, but you really love ray then go ahead

but i really cant recommend it

[tidal hawk]

Not really

I actually couldn't care less about Ray, she's cute but that's all

[hallow garnet]

well then it's an easy skip

[quaint arch]

Dw, surely one day Ray Spook will come to us

[tidal hawk]

Okay then, thanks guys for your opinion

[hallow garnet]

and if not, annitix is there for a reason

[tidal hawk]

I still don't have Mlynar so I think I will be saving that for him

[hallow garnet]

you fully f2p?

[quaint arch]

I don't use wallets

[hallow garnet]

yeaks
