A shrimp fries the rice?

[wanton stratus]

I do wonder. Cosplaying characters from a game that isn’t out for at least 2 years is certainly a choice

[ebon sphinx]

I assume it might be 2025..or sooner if they announce something at TGS

[hot rampart]

they get paid for it

Now where is my columbia ak chapter and my many ops who are proficient with guns in columbia

Gotta follow the memes

[willow nymph]

nah instead we have story about corruption in private prisons

in columbia

[spark oasis]

Followed by corruption in a research institute.

And whatever the fuck Mark Max is.

[mossy tinsel]

What about the story about corruption in banks and seeing 1 rich cat girl robbing it?

[round hare]

You can play the start of the game, explore the world "puzzle"/looting, beat a boss and try the base/home thing where you farm ressources

anybody who can cook

i think saileach is best

for tradwife

she also can sew

she is also a vouivre

so she has a lot of stamina

she can || do more house chores ||

[ebon sphinx]

Bagpipe is popular for that reason mmkay

a bit

[hot rampart]

bagpipe can be my personal farm worker in the countryside

[violet vortex]

Bagpipe was the wife material until the skin where she became for the streets, character devolved

Tragic thing really

[ebon sphinx]

its a skin and thus optional

[violet vortex]

She’s for the streets on the weekends can you live with that

Saileach, Kroos, Penance, Whislash, & Horn all work

[ebon sphinx]

hmm, i dont follow...and i dont wanna follow

[willow nymph]

Gotta round those end of months

Sometimes there's a bad harvest

[wanton stratus]

Surely she’s only a flag girl for the local weekend racing competitions and nothing else

What a randomly specific GIF to have posted here.

[fluid verge]

[wanton stratus]

I know, right?

I wonder who made it

I want to shake their hand

[mossy tinsel]

So reading the story summary of The Grinning Valley was pretty funny because Ray just hijacked the truck at gunpoint and later on was recruited by RI, we really hire anyone in this Phama company huh?

Jessica also robbed a bank, so we have a robber in our ranks as well.

[wanton stratus]

You know, it kinda makes sense considering our main medical lead literally has a monster that kill most things immediately.

[wanton stratus]

It came free with her Xbox

[mossy tinsel]

Also us the doktahs have a dark past, but we lost those past memories.

Okay, I can kinda see why most groups see RI in a weird light now.

an example is uh Jessica who wears a headset not on her cat ears

[ebon sphinx]

alright done

[wanton stratus]

I want to watch the original first

Got a link?

[tardy vigil]

What is collect all?

[hot rampart]

your daily quest

used to just

click it 1 by 1

instead of a singular collect all button around the top

also

gold bars

trade

u dont just click one base notification thing

u have to go inside the trade post

and click the traded gold bars one by one

👴

[civic linden]

[tardy vigil]

I wouldn't play this game

Unironically

[civic linden]

https://youtu.be/pMcKfGSrcmM?si=Ys81NQIhXwa6BYoO there was also this shorter test one which is how i found these

[hot rampart]

yeah im thinking it filtered a lot of players back then

[willow nymph]

Of grind

[mossy tinsel]

I remember all of that.

[tardy vigil]

NGL joining this game I had suspicions, some rumors it demands enormous farm or smth

Good thing a lot of those were fixed by the time I came in

[mossy tinsel]

April Fools event is old AK where you have to click everything 1 on 1.

We don’t talk about ak of the dark ages

[willow nymph]

I mean ak was light on grind even compared to other gaxhas

[half bay]

it justs asks for full on committment though, like 135 sanity cap isn't even 24 hours but half of it

[hot rampart]

and "efficient" base rotation is every 12 hours (6 hours if u are a madman)

this hardly matters if u login once a day for base stuff cuz its still shitton of exp/lmd gain

or use operators that have +max capacity instead of +25/30% efficiency cuz efficiency is pointless if u are gonna cap it

i think sanity wise back then its quite the norm for gachas

AK is made with gbf , fgo , azur lane being the big ones and guess which one still same ol same ol with no QoL and one being outdated ah website game

[mossy tinsel]

GBF is the outdated website game right?

[hot rampart]

yes

i wanted to try it back then

but my god i absolutely got filtered by the UI

it is god damn horrible

[mossy tinsel]

Yeah, it's pretty old. Not any better on mobile as well.

[half bay]

Arknights would've been the perfect gacha game to exist if it wasn't for the disgustingly low sanity cap of 135, I thought of this before and I still think of it today

[vagrant tusk]

I don't find it a problem

[hot rampart]

i think this is just a personal thing

[vagrant tusk]

[hot rampart]

i wouldnt care about capping sanity

if i want to login once a day i login once a day

[vagrant tusk]

[hot rampart]

i dont give a shit losing out on some muh efficiency over burning out

[half bay]

its just inconvenience tbh if it was gone it would complete arknights as a whole atleast for me

[hot rampart]

i honestly think the concept of daily should be non existence in gacha

login in everyday is a very big unconvenience in my personal day to day life

i cannot understand ones who play multiple gacha

i just assume they are whales and login only when theres actual new content on their respective gacha

[half bay]

I play mostly gacha that have every 24 hours energy regen (Genshin, HSR, WuWa)

I have Arknights too but I almost never login everyday

I only do weekly login outside of event

Spam annihilation get 1800 gems then dont touch ak for a week

[mossy tinsel]

That's why I only play 2 gacha games, PriConne and Arknights.

[hot rampart]

i very much prefer playing actual games

no offense to gacha gamers who likes gambling i get it

[mossy tinsel]

I think you're fine, gacha games are basically another form of casinos.

[vagrant tusk]

I play Arknights, AzurLane, Dota, Elden Ring for now

[half bay]

Azur Lane is the goat tbh

so much convenience

[vagrant tusk]

🤣

[half bay]

just tab out while watching a YT video

heck even OpSi is fully auto

[vagrant tusk]

besides casino.. for waifu collection

[half bay]

[mossy tinsel]

[half bay]

more like

[vagrant tusk]

👅

Hands too busy.. use tongue

[half bay]

I play HSR for Sparkle, I play Genshin for FOMO Columbina, I play WuWa because I think their character designs have more potential than Genshin

I play Azur Lane because its so convenient, I play AK just for nostalgia

[vagrant tusk]

what's fomo

[half bay]

also the story for both WuWa and HSR because they're actually good, unlike Genshin's

Fear Of Missing Out

[mossy tinsel]

Fear of missing out

[vagrant tusk]

oo

[mossy tinsel]

I hope Endfield is an actual offline singleplayer game.

[hot rampart]

no

its a gacha

its basically the confirmed thing about it during 1st reveal

if u want single player game from HG there is already one

called ex astris

[half bay]

isnt AK already single player

there isnt even coop

[hot rampart]

he said offline

so

[half bay]

oh

[mossy tinsel]

Bruh. Be like Cygames and actually make actual games like GB VS, GB Relink, and Uma Musume Party Derby

[vagrant tusk]

Anyone went for the Endfield event in the expo recently?

[mossy tinsel]

There's even an offline singleplayer SV game on the Switch!

[hot rampart]

u do realize this take like fucking 6 yeara after gbf existence

investment takes money

and HG already looking fine with making ex astris

[hot rampart]

and time

[mossy tinsel]

Hasn't it been 5 years since AK came out?

[hot rampart]

yeah

but i was eyeballing the years for gbf statement

i dont even remember how old is this shit

[mossy tinsel]

I think GBF is 11 years old now

[hot rampart]

yeah and relink was likr what

last year?

versus something like 2 years ago

[mossy tinsel]

I feel like Relink was earlier this year.

[hot rampart]

god damn

11 years for a single player game

did u know there was rage of bahamut too before gbf?

[mossy tinsel]

Yes.

Wait!

RoB is 11 years!

GBF is a little younger than RoB.

SV is after GBF.

[hot rampart]

i just googled

it released on 2012

gbf is 2014

[mossy tinsel]

12 years and 10 years

[hot rampart]

and AK is only half way

there

gonna wait another 5 years for an actual game set in AK universe

[mossy tinsel]

What about SV?

[hot rampart]

~~ i should play ex astris ~~ its in the backlog

[hot rampart]

its a thing but i wouldnt say its as high quality as relink

or still being supported like versus

[mossy tinsel]

It's barely 8 years and it already had a Switch game, physical TCG, and an anime!

[hot rampart]

AK has a tcg too upcoming

[mossy tinsel]

Seriously

[hot rampart]

or well

https://vxtwitter.com/AK_CN_Shitpost/status/1812063442909675943?t=Anv9r6FxY1YhDouriN_ZRA&s=19

i dont know what is union arena

[mossy tinsel]

That's the new TCG in my local shops!

They even had some pre-release matches there as well!

[hot rampart]

i have hope HG will make a single player AK game in the future

[mossy tinsel]

I'd been waiting for a TCG with Arknights in it, now I gotta try out Union Arena.

[tardy vigil]

I play AK and hsr, both grinds are go on second screen as I scroll around social media

And tbh I don't even play play them. Quests are not done, and lastest stages in AK are skipped as well

[hot rampart]

[tardy vigil]

The thing I also dislike about AK is that story demands stam to play

Including challenge stages

In HSR stam is for grind, and endgame/story demands only spending time and walking there

[willow nymph]

Eh its p irrelevant and technically not any more for story chapter

story mode lets you play for 0 san

I actually appreciate that it cost stam

Cos that way i dont need to stop to auto ce6

Tho events have presentation problem and uh ~4-5hrs to reach 8th map for some

[civic linden]

One of the new characters from the latam region is called fucking COLUMBINA?! 💀💀

[hot rampart]

5 year old "old" gacha vs 1 year fresh "modern" gacha

[willow nymph]

Modern gacha still substat arti grinds

At this point you pick your poison

[hot rampart]

so true!

[spark oasis]

Nah, fuck sub-stat grinds, that garbage has existed since the Win98 days with Diablo.

[tardy vigil]

I won't take this argument

Sorry, but completing the story without timegate was invented 30 years ago

You can look at wow where you need some things to respawn for grind - but not story that is available at any time

[sharp tartan]

Story demands stam to play because you also grind on the story stage

But tbh they can just do what other gachas do and separate story and stages entirely

[hot rampart]

copying existing gacha during that 2017-2019 timeline during development makes more sense over a game invented 30 years ago

and right now as bara said u can actually do main story stages with 0 sanity

so they try

[tardy vigil]

They can make farm a side branch of story or smth

Cm-7-farm node

[hot rampart]

maybe they should start adding it unto sidestory but why they didnt add it? idk either

[tardy vigil]

I want to do challenge stages

Doing them on story mode is useless

[hot rampart]

u cant have everything

maybe they should just skip the battle entirely with the 0 sanity story mode

[tardy vigil]

I don't understand why they keep such things

[hot rampart]

who knows whats on their mind

they can have annihilation skip

but still prefer to do a 6x auto

[tardy vigil]

No skip anni is ridiculous

Takes up 15 min

And what if it breaks?

[ebon sphinx]

fun times

[tardy vigil]

Such an engaging gameplay, mmmhm

[hot rampart]

bad times

its in the past now and its bad

let it stay that way

[quaint arch]

Hmmm... Which should i pick?

Sorry to barge in like this.... but i have to choose between while saving funds

[hot rampart]

but making a skip here but still doing auto with micro (its much better than nothing) is still very questionable

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

slay the spire

[quaint arch]

[civic linden]

I guess slay the spire has more value since it's technically infinite content

[willow nymph]

StS

[sharp tartan]

Whats the choice i cant see the pic

[willow nymph]

Just the better game

[sharp tartan]

For some reason

But slay the spire to the moon

[hot rampart]

i should ascension 20 defect

[willow nymph]

I should get a rotating winstreak

[quaint arch]

Aighty

Here we go, lads

[wanton stratus]

Inscryption seems cool but StS defo wins out in playtime, so you probably made the right call

Card games are fun as long as they’re single player

[queen sequoia]

Yeah Slay the spire!! Time to kill the heart.

[versed compass]

[wanton stratus]

Pot 1 Reed, huh

[versed compass]

my luck with reeds have not been the greatest

[wanton stratus]

Sorry to hear that

[vagrant tusk]

still 0 Reed... shall pray harder during limited banner

[tardy vigil]

StS is undefeated afaik

game is too good

it was THE trendsetter and it will take years for something better to overtake it (if ever)

[mossy tinsel]

I finally cleared all the event stages, now I just gotta farm it.

[wanton stratus]

Whoops

Was afk again

[quaint arch]

I did the first clear with the Ironclad

||And then three stones with the different colors appeared||

||RGB Color||

||The Red one light up||

[mossy tinsel]

False please, you told me to ping you.

[hot rampart]

|| clear a run with green (silent) and blue (defect) so u will have a chance to access to 4th floor and beat heart if u collect all 3 keys in a run ||

[quaint arch]

Working on Green now

I need to get used with this game

[hot rampart]

shiv is life

[quaint arch]

0 Cost Token

Free damage

[quaint arch]

Green starter deck suck as of my current experience

[hot rampart]

its more or less becuz of his extra draw on 1st turn

so they have more cards than other starters

[versed compass]

bro i just watched deadlock gameplay

damn valve is cooking

hopefully they learn from artifact and not ruin this shit

[hot rampart]

it should be f2p like dota2,cs2 and tf2

i played it alot in past days and its pretty good

legit valve cooked

its a closed beta test but peaked like 90k players yesterday

but before valve actually "announce" it on steam by making it visible in the steam store 2 days ago

it was around 10k to 20k players weeks ago

[versed compass]

neat

[tardy vigil]

Does it look cool? I have it but never played

[versed compass]

yes

mobas + hero shooter mix do sound very good

[hot rampart]

it has this fortnite/team fortress 2 esque look of simple 3d textures

[tardy vigil]

It is a 3d shooter moba

Where you need to last hit both your and enemy creeps

Omg

[hot rampart]

yep

its more moba but with shooter element

instead of more shooter than moba

cuz things like stuns , silence , slow , disarm exist in this game

[quaint arch]

3D Shooter
Battle Arena Game
Last Hitting

[tardy vigil]

Because it is a moba with creeps, towers, jungle, gold and items, levels

[hot rampart]

it has 4 lanes than traditional 3 lanes

and a 6v6 over 5v5

[tardy vigil]

My thoughts exactly

[quaint arch]

I dunno guys, I prefer just play Dota instead

[hot rampart]

so far its much more casual than dota

[tardy vigil]

Bruh it's early days

[hot rampart]

game is short for like 20-30 min per match

[tardy vigil]

Every moba was casual at start

[quaint arch]

Is the Shooter in First Person Perspective?

[hot rampart]

3rd person

[tardy vigil]

So like league

[hot rampart]

yes

[tardy vigil]

Except league has macro

[hot rampart]

in what sense

cuz here u still have skillshots and targeted spells

[tardy vigil]

Jungler and support rotating around lanes, impacting them and contesting neutral objectives

Since min 5

[hot rampart]

that exist here

that also exist in dota

[tardy vigil]

It's less prominent in dota where there are no real objectives on the map early on

[hot rampart]

there is

[tardy vigil]

But here it looks...

[hot rampart]

dota has runes

water lilies now

creep pulling

creep pushing

a lot more macro

creep equilibrium

[quaint arch]

Oh... I thought it's like Counter Strike but with Dota Lane elements

[hot rampart]

idk i think we have this argument before

[tardy vigil]

I am not talking about dota

[quaint arch]

[hot rampart]

but saying dota has less macro than LoL is lol lmao

[tardy vigil]

Yea another dota head getting heated

We definitely should drop it

[hot rampart]

yeah if u dont wanna talk about dota then dont talk

as i dont want to talk about lol either

[tardy vigil]

The thing is this new game

[hot rampart]

cuz idk anything about it

[quaint arch]

You can't Kill Steal in League of Giants

[tardy vigil]

Just dash around under tower?

[hot rampart]

i wouldnt get heated if im talking to someone who thinks he knows about a game that i do play

but he actually doesnt know anything about it

[quaint arch]

*i mean Denying Creeps

[hot rampart]

in terms of

[mossy tinsel]

https://youtu.be/YuDBqLcD4m0?si=md241nnurpBQV-5P

[hot rampart]

deadlock

u can still rotate

theres jumppads around the map

[tardy vigil]

I played around 100 hours of dota

[hot rampart]

to travel to other side lanes

[tardy vigil]

I know runes and creep pulling

[hot rampart]

that counts as macro

[tardy vigil]

It is not even close to dragons/grubs contesting

[quaint arch]

[tardy vigil]

Mostly because you don't recall in dota

But whatever

[hot rampart]

i can say the same with power rune contest

the fact that there is telport in dota means u also have a lot of macro in ur head to check over other lanes and not let your team gets pushed in

[tardy vigil]

I am not debating it

[sharp tartan]

100 hours in dota
so you just cleared tutorial

cool

[tardy vigil]

Not really, back in day I was able to play ranked

But sure

[sharp tartan]

ranked means jackall
you can run wk and just smack everyone

[hot rampart]

he invest more time in LoL and thinks it has more macro cuz he learned more about what more effective thing to do

[quaint arch]

WK? You mean Skeleton King Leoric?

(||DoTA 1||)

[sharp tartan]

bounty minute 0 contest, wisdom minute 7 chase, tormentor checking, warding/dewarding, camp denying

of course none of these means jackshit to pubs tho

[hot rampart]

too bad even pubs has these shits now

[sharp tartan]

they dont even know what smoke of deceit does

[hot rampart]

whoever stayed playing dota is the same insufferable people who finally learn something

long enough

[tardy vigil]

I think it because I watch a friend stream dota and it's quite calm in first 15 minutes

[sharp tartan]

is this like

[tardy vigil]

For some reason gets extremely heated afterwards

[sharp tartan]

2016 dota

because dota back then has 50 minute games with only 20 kill total

so understandable

[tardy vigil]

You do all of this close to your lane

[sharp tartan]

?

[hot rampart]

so it doesnt count?

[sharp tartan]

[hot rampart]

[sharp tartan]

yeah bro let me go to toplane from bot to get wisdom rune

[hot rampart]

yeah bro hold on

[tardy vigil]

In lol for support to commit to grubs they have to setup wave and recall a minute in advance

[hot rampart]

we have tp scroll

the reason we have a lot more to do in our lane

cuz we have tp scroll to help other lanes

[tardy vigil]

To commit 3 seconds to get somewhere

[sharp tartan]

ah yes

[hot rampart]

and then u have to go back to ur lane

walking

[sharp tartan]

because you dont go back

peak

[hot rampart]

peak

[sharp tartan]

or better yet

gank mid

before level 6

[tardy vigil]

In lol you likely will have to recall and get back to your lane by walking

[hot rampart]

dota map is bigger than lol

[tardy vigil]

Again, can we please stop

[hot rampart]

walk distance is not comparable

[tardy vigil]

I know you guys love dota and it's strategic debth

[hot rampart]

and i know u want to jack off how much casual and fast lol is

[sharp tartan]

walking isnt real in dota

[hot rampart]

but less macro?

nahhhh

u cant deny anything

[tardy vigil]

Why dota players are always like this

[hot rampart]

moba players are insufferable people

dota just as much with how much time wasted to learn that piece of shit game

[tardy vigil]

Yea that's why I mute every game

[hot rampart]

our egos are high up in space

to keep playing that game

[tardy vigil]

Makes sense

[sharp tartan]

i spend more time learning meepo than i do my thesis

[hot rampart]

but when someone else trying to downplay how much macro dota has its like an insult to the 5000 hours of play time in dota

and this really piss me off

[tardy vigil]

Ooof, sorry your little ego gets tickled

[sharp tartan]

5k hours

cool

[tardy vigil]

Also 5k hours is mid

Bragging privileges denied

[hot rampart]

its 500 more than your total playtime

of it

my math doesnt add up

its 50

[tardy vigil]

It is still objectively mid

[hot rampart]

how much u have in lol

[sharp tartan]

anyway dota sucks and will get suck a whole lot more

[hot rampart]

im almost 1 year of rehab without it

[sharp tartan]

fucking maps getting changed whenever devs feels like it

imagine having to learn pathing all over again

[hot rampart]

eh thats fine makes it more fresh

felt like a new player when they made the map 20% bigger

[sharp tartan]

fucking roshan rotates

the fuck

you can be punching his ass and he just leaves because you dont watch game clock

stupid ass game

[quaint arch]

I don't cuz I never played it online (I play DOTA with Bots)

[tardy vigil]

"because you don't watch the game clock" ask me why I think dota has less macro

[sharp tartan]

?

sure bud

[tardy vigil]

I'm joking, it is frustrating

One objective in lol has lifespan of 3-0 minutes depending on circumstances

Before it disappears for good

[sharp tartan]

dev can also just randomly change map shit

[tardy vigil]

It is good I think

[sharp tartan]

changes roshan respawn timer a bit
everyone's braincell gets fucked

[tardy vigil]

Map changes in lol work wonders

[tardy vigil]

That sounds like a bad change

[sharp tartan]

wouldnt be dota without one

[tardy vigil]

You shouldn't mess "a bit" with core timers

coming back to deadlock

you not only need to aim

"last hit" is a soul, that can be lasthit by anyone

so it is super demanding on micro

[hot rampart]

i still dont know how he is pushing dota has less macro

[tardy vigil]

and it is 3d with ability to perform air dashes, double dashes etc (at cost of stam)

[hot rampart]

yes its a shooter

[tardy vigil]

this game will for sure have a big audience and take a bite from both league dota and overwatch

[hot rampart]

so more micro

yeah it will be a cesspool

[tardy vigil]

overwatch doesnt have "more micro"

I wouldnt even say valorant has more micro than dota or league as you only click head few times in a round - and spend more time thinking bigger picture

[willow nymph]

Mfw lowest damage starter deck of every char

33 damage/ cycle compared to
44 on IC
40 on defect +zap and elec orb damage
Watcher has 12 damage strikes and is unfair

So yeah of the 4
Only 2 one cycle the jaw worm

And silent bad draws can make her take 20 to it

There are silent seeds where you just spawn
Take 20 to jaw worm
Cry

[hot rampart]

bad draw seed is merely skill issue

[willow nymph]

Also the fact silent deck is so fat means adding a single card may not even increase damage/cycle much

Because if you draw it as your last card
You've gotta wait atleast 3 turns to draw it again

Aka turn 6

Cultist on turn 6 deals 26 damage hf

Wait no 31 you already took 26 last turn

Good thing you have neutralise in your deck

[sharp tartan]

silent is always fun

shiv shiv shiv shiv shiv shiv shiv shiv shiv shiv
finisher

[ebon sphinx]

Deadlock is the new thing but I won't bother even trying it because while everyone is having fun while it's in alpha/beta...eh, it's def gonna have a lot of toxicity compounded by tryhard after release once it settles

Figured I didn't need another boulder to try to push up the hill

....saying this as somebody who has 2.37k hours in Dota

[hot rampart]

u right

[ebon sphinx]

I went through such an experience in like Overwatch for the last time. It seemed fun when everyone's messing around and stuff, but...not long after release....

[tardy vigil]

I really liked overwatch

If blizzard didn't kill it - as they usually do - I would continue playing it

I am not talking about poor balance decisions, I am talking about no updates for years

[civic linden]

A competitive shooter moba sounds like an unholy combination of toxic communities

[ebon sphinx]

https://fixupx.com/IIuvatar_/status/1827694651387543863?t=EXXD3vjgyDBwRz9eGZ8pZQ&s=19

I feel it is more about competetive multiplayer

so whatever

same people

[versed compass]

dw am gonna be the toxic teammate

[quaint arch]

Time Keeper ruined my Green Run with Shiv Combo

[willow nymph]

Damage issue pensive

Should have taken more wails

[hot rampart]

everytime

[wanton stratus]

I’m sorry

Need anything up now?

[mossy tinsel]

It's fine, no need to be sorry.

[wanton stratus]

Also, you can call me Ben like the others here

[mossy tinsel]

Really? Okay.

[wanton stratus]

[mossy tinsel]

Lemme check my friends list and see which support I need for future events.

[wanton stratus]

Aight

[mossy tinsel]

What's your ID again?

[wanton stratus]

Ben3Factor#6401

[mossy tinsel]

Do you have Thorns?

[wanton stratus]

Sure do

[mossy tinsel]

Replace Ceobe

[wanton stratus]

M’kay

[mossy tinsel]

Nice.

[wanton stratus]

Done

Anyone else you want?

[mossy tinsel]

Hmm, Executor was used during the Witch King event.

[wanton stratus]

That was a while ago, wasn’t it?

[mossy tinsel]

Yeah, around last year

[wanton stratus]

[mossy tinsel]

Funny edit.
From open eyes to closed eyes.

[wanton stratus]

Hehe

You know it

[mossy tinsel]

I gotta start investing into Penance.

[hallow garnet]

ah i love zuole so much

hes such a great helidrop idiot

he literally feeds off dangerrrrr

[wanton stratus]

Helidrop

?

[hallow garnet]

yeah

[mossy tinsel]

Immediate deployment

[hallow garnet]

he gets so much sp from getting hit hes nearly instant

well not from getting hit but getting his hp lower 😄

so if u drop him into something that does good dmg on him he'll be up really fast

[hallow garnet]

unless you were actually asking what helidrop means

helidrop units are units that get immediate or near immediate use out of their skills upon deployment

think stuff like surtr SA sexas yato

[mossy tinsel]

My understanding of Helidrop is an immediate active skill.

[hallow garnet]

helidrop is basically just someone who you dont necessarily intend to keep there for the whole fight just one rotation of skill

eyja s3 also falls into this category

[hallow garnet]

that would be like the "true" helidrop

i guess

[wanton stratus]

No, I was wondering why you were using him as a helidrop

Which skill btw?

[hallow garnet]

s2 or s3

both work

i use s3 more tho

vs hordes

s2 vs stun immune shit

if you wanna stall

he lives for a long time even if his s2 is kinda pitiful damage vs high def

[wanton stratus]

I see

[hallow garnet]

his only "downside" is that hes really clicky

like with enough enemies he can reach aburage levels of clickiness

but i enjoy that 😄

[mossy tinsel]

Clicky like Pinecone?

[wanton stratus]

Pinecone isn’t clicky

Bibeak S2 is clicky

Thanks autocorrect

[hallow garnet]

i dunno much about pinecone

[mossy tinsel]

I mean, you can trigger her skill thrice if you want to.

[hallow garnet]

when i think of clicky i think of aburage

paired with her stupid loud voicelines

but zuo voice is great

overall im highly satisfied with him

i never really got the hang of fedex

even tho i know hes strong i just never really found the spot for him

but zuo was an instant hit for me

[wanton stratus]

I didn’t get Zuo Le because Shu appeared first and then I stopped rolling

[hallow garnet]

issokay u can always borrow mine

[bleak mirage]

@wanton stratus zuo is pretty damn good

And he married his girl

Dudes winning

[wanton stratus]

He’s HAPPILY MARRIED!?

Damn, I kinda hate him now

[wanton stratus]

Just did

Too bad Eblana is stun immune

[hallow garnet]

yea most bosses are sadly

but the damage is still there

the stun immune is only a problem if u wanna stall

and he still gets the barrier

[wanton stratus]

Yeah

I used S2 for TN-3 spectacular

[hallow garnet]

we can swap skills of borrowed units now?

[wanton stratus]

No, I cheated on u

[hallow garnet]

OH

you slut

[wanton stratus]

https://fixupx.com/AK_CN_Shitpost/status/1828345666290229731?t=PY3pSD9ePNKmMF5dRTbPVA&s=19 something to check tomorrow

[civic linden]

I bet senshi is gonna be a healer defender

[hallow garnet]

zuole is so fuuuuuuuuuuuun

i kiiiinda wish his range was a bit wider but still

[ebon sphinx]

in fun trivia, they showed a map of Terra in classic paper style

[wanton stratus]

What do y’all think about Chong Yue’s L2D skin?

[hallow garnet]

it's not different enough

in terms of style

but i took it

it's basically the same thing but silvery instead of the gold

[hot rampart]

he looks drippeed the fuck up

[ebon sphinx]

https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/159wrp7/reed_the_flame_of_razgriz_ace_combat_5_parallel/ thats a new one

[wanton stratus]

I was thinking that too

Wondering if I should just hope for a better one in the future

But I do use him whenever possible

[hallow garnet]

i rarely use him

somehow

[wanton stratus]

Is it dripped out to the degree of 21 OP though…

[hot rampart]

his skill effect is somwhat just

ok

nothing amazing

but

its more becuz

the s3 isnt as good as how s2 effect is

and nobody use s2

[hot rampart]

yeah thats fair

since im glad i skipped ling 1st skin

[quaint arch]

I bought it cuz i bought the others

(Except Nian, cuz Nian didn't appeared)

[hallow garnet]

damn pompeii

hmm

zuo burns away eventually if there are no enemies to hit

[wanton stratus]

That one was such a bait

I feel like they could do it again

[hot rampart]

just use s2

[hallow garnet]

yea but s2 is lamooooo

for wave 3

s3 is so much more fun

do autoskills count for this?

thinking like eyja s2

[hot rampart]

no idea

[hallow garnet]

hmm idk

i did it

dunno if it was the artu s1 spam

or the insider zuo spam

[wanton stratus]

I cleared that with Chongus

[hallow garnet]

who tf is this

[fluid verge]

some random general

[hallow garnet]

i dont know who this man this im sorry to this man

[fluid verge]

working for dublinn

[wanton stratus]

He’s not even classified as a boss, just an elite

[fluid verge]

he shows up in the current event

[bleak mirage]

Oh right you’re new. So in the other sui sibling events we have ran into this guy before

Him, lee and another person had some great character developments

Invitation to wine

Is where we first saw this man

Just look through there and where vernal winds never blow

Talks about it in there if I’m remembering well

[wanton stratus]

@hot rampart @hallow garnet Okay, the Chongus skin S3 activation effect is actually really cool

A dragon rises from the ground type shi

I think I’m gonna buy it

[bleak mirage]

Chongu that good?

[wanton stratus]

Surprisingly

[bleak mirage]

I know people broadcast lin but I already got carnelian

My beautiful goat queen

[wanton stratus]

Lin is more GOATed than Carne

[bleak mirage]

Nah

She would definitely get rekt

Two swords and experience is better then one

[hallow garnet]

oh right

chongus has module now

i didnt even see

is mod3 needed

[willow nymph]

I'm iffy on that mod

Cos its good

But there's no world where it's better than the mod that will give aspd and buff the crit talent

[tardy vigil]

so columbia and bolivar are not overseas?

[ebon sphinx]

nope

[tardy vigil]

how leithanien then participated in bolivar war

I believe also iberia...

[hot rampart]

erm sir

carnelian is literally a GOAT

[hallow garnet]

ash s2 doesnt count as ammo right?

[wanton stratus]

I know, that was the joke

Lin is great anyways

I love her

[wanton stratus]

I assumed it did, but I didn’t test it properly even though I brought Ash for the TN-2 orientation squad

[hallow garnet]

im on tn-4 now

i was just wondering

[hot rampart]

it does

but u need to care more about stun immunity of the bosses

[fluid verge]

chocogoat is so hot

[hallow garnet]

eh wasnt gonna bring her for the boss anyway

ah tn-4 has an ULTIMATE version

omg shu can pull tn-4 boss

this is hilarious

[hot rampart]

yep

makes it easier

used zuo le to hold left lane in 3rd stage by making him less than half hp by dusk+2 ranged fcker damaging him (killed dusk phase 2 with mega buffed typhon)

[wanton stratus]

Whoa, I didn’t think of that

Cool

[hallow garnet]

alr ultimate done too

byebye

medal also done

[wanton stratus]

What’s the medal for?

Beating the ultimate trial?

[ebon sphinx]

no, just beating spectacular TN 4

ultimate trial is pure bragging rights

[wanton stratus]

Hmhm

I was procrastinating doing TfN#4 for over a week but it was pretty fun once I got around to it

[hallow garnet]

and xp

for the reward track

it's not pure bragging rightsw

you cant finish to max level without it

[wanton stratus]

Yes you can

Clearing stages again gives trial xp

[hallow garnet]

wdym again

just spam the stages over and over again?

[wanton stratus]

Like

Yes, that’s possible

[hallow garnet]

huuuh

[wanton stratus]

But time-consuming

[hallow garnet]

i tohught it was first clear only

[wanton stratus]

First clear gives more, methinks

[civic linden]

Just perfect clearing everything except ultimate trial alredy gave me all the rewards

So i think it's just bragging rights at leasts thats the dev intention

they have been going so tame since wisdael

[hot rampart]

yeah

but > splash caster

[quaint arch]

Latest Splash Caster (6* wise) was Dusk

And it's from like... 2nd Year of Arknite

[ebon sphinx]

hmm, Agent Vanguard for Chilchuck, makes sense

i thought it was either that or a Fast Redeploy Specialist

he outright admits hes not good in a fight but hes pretty handy with throwing stuff 😄

[ebon sphinx]

Marcille being 6* kind of makes a bit of sense to me because uh, quite a bunch of the encounters, fights and plot developments were dependent on her magic

Doktah??

[versed compass]

cutter?

ah yes

drones

very Delicious

[ebon sphinx]

[quaint arch]

ONO

[quaint arch]

[ebon sphinx]

this splash art doesnt look that good but the in game animations might be good

hmm, they are giving a snippet of a Vector Break event with a focus on Rosmontis

wonder what it means

thats where the Vanilla skin comes from

[hot rampart]

amiya , dok , kaltsit ,ceobe , skyfire

[hot rampart]

its a video game

[versed compass]

i like irene skin

also finally the good module

[hot rampart]

irene skin looks alright

[versed compass]

10% damage on skill vs the shitty def ignore is no fucking brainer

[hot rampart]

better than 1st skin cuz its a diff color

[hot rampart]

yeah looks good already

would be better if she is given more stuff

[tidal hawk]

Marcille e2 art is soo beautiful

[ebon sphinx]

if they did a Dungeon Meshi part 2 and added Izutsumi...it would be funny because she would fit into the setting

though Marcille being an elf would make her immediately stand out too

[versed compass]

what was the unupgraded talent anyway

[quaint arch]

50% chance to ignore 50% DEF when attacking. Chance is 100% against Aerial Enemy.

Mod Upgrade gonna add Damage Multiplier trust

Just like Black Knight

[hot rampart]

mod upgrade is more def ignore

if anything

i will send a pipe bomb to HG headquarters if they increased the chance instead

cuz they didnt do that with degen

as degen already 100% proc on s2 and s3

irene is in the talent itself but u know

so all power tax should go to more defend ignore

[quaint arch]

IMBA it'll become
"Attacks Ignore 50% DEF. Ignores 100% DEF instead against Aerial Enemy"

[hot rampart]

or a new crit talent

[quaint arch]

Nah, too much work amarite?
