[timber cipher]

u care for pvp

[quick hinge]

Not really

I care to bully to the Korean

[timber cipher]

[quick hinge]

Other then that I just like fighting diff comps

But atm everyone just runs the same team

So my pvp enjoyment is gone

So now I just enjoy big numbers

In gh an dr

[timber cipher]

i mean pvp will change a lot with multiteam

you just got skipped which kinda sucks

[quick hinge]

I don't have it

Everyone else does

[timber cipher]

but like as soon as we get like 4-5 team pvp

things will be crazy

[quick hinge]

Will be the same teams

Copied an pasted

[timber cipher]

probably

[cloud wing]

I hit my first 360

[quick hinge]

Rip

[cloud wing]

-# without pay

[timber cipher]

but those teams will be easily beaten as defender, because u're used to it and have answers

[cloud wing]

How’s that Skirath

[quick hinge]

My dr atm

His Belinda does 3b dmg for him

Mine does 700m

[cloud wing]

[quick hinge]

What lvl

[cloud wing]

340

[quick hinge]

304

[timber cipher]

my dr:

[quick hinge]

Must be nice with a Belinda that works

[timber cipher]

Meta going ham

[swift depot]

the thing is for Campaig/Forked/Tower you are only as capabe as your weakest link

[quick hinge]

A2 Belinda is the worst sht

U could have

Even when I put Belinda with Rosa she only does 900m

[cloud wing]

[timber cipher]

kinda, you can cheese it more often than not though because not every team needs your strongest formations and can be flexed with faction boost

[cloud wing]

I may be ftp

But im putting up a fight

You can’t deny that

[timber cipher]

there are heroes like orthros, tasi and such that are really annoying tho

[quick hinge]

Ainz and Trish doing fine though

[cloud wing]

Orthros, Tasi, Fawkes, Thane and Lucius

Annoying team?

[quick hinge]

Just put a Trish and Brutus in

Ez wave

[timber cipher]

and salaki if u dont espacailly bring gwyneth against him

[cloud wing]

Double of the same team

What now

[timber cipher]

yea but sometimes you have 3 fights of those

[cloud wing]

You don’t get trish twice

[quick hinge]

I haven't had to fight more then two orthos?

[timber cipher]

yea double orthros, one tasi fight and one thane fight tho

[quick hinge]

Even then u just put dim team against orthos

[timber cipher]

still beatable thanks to shall, asolise, gwyneth and trishea comp

but

annoying

[quick hinge]

Not that bad

The only annoying thing I've run into

Is solies

[timber cipher]

other times you can just spam whatever

[quick hinge]

Being

Sht

[timber cipher]

i can run maulers against normal teams quite frequently

[quick hinge]

My solies

Is the worst hero

I use

[timber cipher]

if you look at my solution for 40+ you'll see random respen

[cloud wing]

Double Orthros and double Lucius, alongside a Tasi inside of VoT

[quick hinge]

[cloud wing]

Isn’t that fun?

[timber cipher]

I'm craving a lab tho

[cloud wing]

Me too

[timber cipher]

i kinda want to test arround some random battles and stuff

[quick hinge]

My favorite team I have

[cloud wing]

I haven’t been able to have a fun pve battle until VoT

[timber cipher]

arthur kren stall

[quick hinge]

[cloud wing]

Will Kasu reach A5 on Arthur?

[timber cipher]

I'd love there to be a way to test heroes at different key points tho

like when a hero releases that you can do like the 7 fights for rewards

but then have the option to also test the hero almost in a sandbox

[timber cipher]

depending on stones not sure if kasu has a soul atm

but if 2 are necessary then 800 stones*

[quick hinge]

End of the event

[quick hinge]

I have 6 I can get

But I only need 2

But it's $200 for 2

[timber cipher]

your 90$ gaze offer would've been 1 1/2 souls

[quick hinge]

I don't buy those

Anything that involves gazing

[timber cipher]

i mean if u need more xp or dust, you could get it from the event and get souls

[quick hinge]

I don't buy

[timber cipher]

smart choise

[quick hinge]

I will probably start buying weekly dust again

[timber cipher]

will you swipe on luci tho?

[quick hinge]

Doubt she comes out for us

[timber cipher]

not for a long time if we're at alna atm

will go to sleep tho tis late

[swift depot]

you are creating your own problems if you buy Dust now that you have Exp on inventory

[quick hinge]

I don't have dust

To use the xp

I'm dust locked

[swift depot]

the idea is that you would use Exp items when you reach the needed dust from AFK

because by natural means you will never reach the Exp quota by the time you have the Dust

[quick hinge]

Got 100m xp sitting

Doing nothing

Bc no dust

[swift depot]

Classic has a different kind of Trials event when heroes release, you can test them at deficit, and you can use any hero you own at least an E copy at their max investment

[quick hinge]

Them once I spend again on this event

Bc I will have to

To finish Arthur

I'll have even more xp doing nada

[civic verge]

Trishea is crazyyy

[low mulch]

who should i put for stargazer

[civic verge]

But so is Belinda

[low mulch]

Should I put belinda and trishea on the same lineup

[quick hinge]

She sht for me

[civic verge]

Have you thought of spending more?

💳

[eternal drum]

Gotta get that 3000% value

The more you buy, the more you save

[verbal forge]

actualy u make some good gold emblems with rng on the isles event

and thata not bad at all

got like 6 golds in row

[half salmon]

most valuable item ? i was thinking the chest of faction? to upgrade signature weapons?

[eternal drum]

Most likely. Dims are a waste since we will likely get them from the next collab. And if we can't get them in the next collab then this game will be a waste.

[verbal forge]

always red chests for f2p

is the hardest to get in the entire game

[remote canopy]

[eternal drum]

Getting mixed signals though when companions feels like the thing that has been abandoned

[vocal dew]

Feels like scam

[eternal drum]

Lol. It feels like every patch they change how combat power is calculated

I guess they have more changes to do

[swift depot]

yo @verbal forge , you online?

check your DMs when you can

[full python]

Hey guys

I did stargazied two heroes that was mentioned in guide

Now what

What hero should stargaxe

[light crow]

if you're P2W finish Talene from the event if F2P then save up

[vague mango]

when the red gears start to drop at map?

[full python]

I'm f2p

[oblique trellis]

31, even then very low chance

[vague mango]

thats hurt

[verbal forge]

u will get more of them later anyway

is not a really big impact

stones are way more inpactful and they dont drop for now

only guild store

[frigid willow]

I’m crazy or this new game is companion exclusive?

[remote canopy]

for now yes

[frigid willow]

They are so mad

So fucking mad

[timber cipher]

like sseing it sounds promising for us lets see what will get released

I know that lab and legends challenger arena are under work.

Well lab being under work is no real "leak" but o well.

Assets for both things are already in the game and support said they're not open yet, but that the assets are there is no bug.

So copium = those two things will get released, sooner or later.

[remote canopy]

lab is likely to be reworked

cause people quickly get bored of it

[timber cipher]

Think so too, because its a reoccuring task in classic and ppl dont want to deal with it, because there are 25 more important things to do.

But for us with not much content on the other hand its a nice thing to do, aswell to test out some uncommon heroes

[hollow pawn]

148 server go go goo

[floral perch]

it is disappointing when people enable team up verify while offline

[hollow flume]

👀

[hollow pawn]

What is better - classic or companion?

[floral perch]

you ask here they will say companion if you ask on classic channel they will say classic

[hollow pawn]

For f2p I mean

Classic is definitely p2w

[floral perch]

afk arena is a gacha game

both are p2w

[hollow pawn]

No way! I mean couldn’t you play without paying?

[copper oyster]

you can but you can't be at the top if you are f2p

[ebon vale]

I haven't played classic in a long while, so I don't have a fully up to date comparison. I quit when engravings came around bc it made it less f2p friendly and I believe the latest features aren't as well.

However what I strongly dislike is that you won't be able to stargaze with diamonds as that was the main strategy in classic when you had 4F heroes built up.

That's not possible in companions as well as divine effects tied to stars means it's way less f2p friendly to ascend celehypos. In classic you could get a celehypo hero to A and then distribute your other currencies without spending extra diamonds.

The dimensional system is also way worse and f2p unfriendly. I preferred the linking system of classic.

However overall if you are fine with building a 4-Faction Account and some dimensionals on the side, I think companions is the better choice right now.

I believe long-term the game will focus on companions for the coming years, otherwise it would not make sense to assign all new players to companions automatically.

I decided to stick with companions

As in being competetive. top30 across different events/rankings seems realistic long-term but not nescessarily top10

[pulsar sonnet]

@cloud wing hi, we are the same branch in the alliance contest 😎

[cloud wing]

Eh?

[cloud wing]

Shadrick is our guildmaster

[vocal dew]

Everyone can change their avatars? When I do that I choose which photo I want and then I get back to the choice of where photo I want to load

[gloomy comet]

arcane lab is the only content in classic where picking up relics and watching battles has a chance of being enjoyable, but yes it overstays the welcome with all the other chores

battle starts, ainz ults, 5 reapers take the souls of your opponents, time for next battle

[pulsar sonnet]

Works fine

[vocal dew]

I heart it from everyone 🥹🥹

Probably time to uninstall game

[pulsar sonnet]

Own photo might be still disabled

[magic tree]

@pulsar sonnet show a picture of your guild hall of fame quests

Or anyone from servers 1-6 who have already had 3 abex

[pulsar sonnet]

2/3 because we won only twice

[magic tree]

Ok, but on the other you have 3

[pulsar sonnet]

But at first you have it's show 3 times

[magic tree]

For some reason it's bugged for us

[ebon sand]

hey, any tips for this alliance contest dream realm? I don't get it, I bought more attempts a few times already and my shemira refuses to make a good score I must be missing something

[magic tree]

Low level, so not 321 skills etc

[pulsar sonnet]

Depends on boss, but overall Shemira is useless there

[ebon sand]

I just copied the best team

that's the number 1 score first squad

[pulsar sonnet]

Like I said depends on bosd

[ebon sand]

and that's my mine

the 3rd fight is dark nemora

[magic tree]

Try to rosa Bel

[ebon sand]

but most of the points come from 1st squad anyway

[magic tree]

Use Rosa assist on Belinda. Check if any better

[ebon sand]

I tried it once but will do again

[magic tree]

Is fawkes capturing your Shem?

[ebon sand]

I don't think so, yeah no dice still below 400m first squad, doesn't make sense to me

[magic tree]

Watch the replays

And figure out what's going on

I bet it's related to fawkes fawking up your shem

[ebon sand]

thanks for the tip, I'll try a few more times

[timber cipher]

btw is someone atm higher than this guy in campaign?

[hot hollow]

Why would alliance contest match me against people from S28 ?

This is not fair 😢

[ebon sand]

yeah sometimes you're against lower regions, sometimes higher

[timber cipher]

cross region allaince isnt, it just pairs you depending on how well you perform in your server

[eternal drum]

The game ensures that sometimes you get an easy server to feel good and continue playing. other times a whale server to make you feel inferior and want to spend

Or players rather

[hot hollow]

Well it makes me really inferior to the guys having awakened Talene 🥲

[timber cipher]

past 3 i was thrown into a pot of the worst krakens out there

am not complaining beside the light martyr one

that fight feels unrewarding af even if you understand the mechanics

because i had as whale 2 of the units necessary build

so that allaince thing will be a rough one even for f2p more often than not ig

[eternal drum]

Just remember that the real winners are the ones who spend the least

The real battle is the battle against addiction and the whales are the losers

Also yeah I got baited last round thinking I could take martyr of light

Not having asolise yet is rough

I need one more L+ fodder

Unless I sacrifice all of my bad characters which sets me back in the future for ascending Solise

As well as tower and campaign

[timber cipher]

yea martyr is plain evil

like the design visually, but the abilities are kinda rough rough - afk arena nightmare mode

[cloud wing]

The light martyr gives love

All you have to do is return that love

[ebon sand]

RGB Daimon let's go!

[warped rain]

What's the benefit of transcendant other than stat increase?

[eternal drum]

Divine effects

Oh wait transcendent

[ebon sand]

the frame? it's definitely more of an optional bonus thing

to make you feel more miserable you can neverr actually max a char lol

[warped rain]

So really only get transcedant on heroes you really like or you just have nothing else to do

[eternal drum]

Gotta give the whales something to do

Older accounts would literally have nothing to do if transcending didn't exist

Even f2p you'll have a bunch of a5s

And then your epic pulls will be fodder which just feels terribad

[warped rain]

Almost have my first A5 only need like 6 more mishka's 🙂

[eternal drum]

Lol 6 Mishkas

I also wish I pulled 6 Mishkas

[warped rain]

I mean, this server is only 4 days old and I have her at 2* so...

[quick hinge]

The rapper?

[quick hinge]

Oppend another purple card to get another fodder

[hollow pawn]

When 148 server opens?

[eternal drum]

A new server comes out every 2 days or something

Nobody knows exactly when but you can just check daily

[hollow pawn]

When 147 was opened then ?

[eternal drum]

Just check daily. You won't be waiting long

[hearty turtle]

Anybody on server 147 the newest one Looking for a dedicated team up partner?

[quick hinge]

[eternal drum]

Nice

Next wall you'll have to wait until next month when you drop another 400

Seems like Arthur paid off

[hearty turtle]

pushing my arena ranking as high up as i can day 1 of me being on the server so that once the whales take over and i cant get as high i dont have t worry about the missed out diamonds

[fathom rune]

should i do classic or conpanion

i just started a new acc

[hearty turtle]

companion

[eternal drum]

At this point it's hard to say with how stagnant companions feels combined with bad patches

[vocal dew]

In 2 hours

[eternal drum]

Every single comp is going to wilder meta or whale teams in pvp

[fathom rune]

whats the best wishlist atm

gota know what team im going for

(not pvp related)

@quick hinge new anime game for you

『葬送のフリーレン』公式 (@FRIEREN_PR) on X

PUBG

X · Mar 29, 2025, 12:13 PM

Free rent pubg

[vocal dew]

As I remember it will be last episode?

[hearty turtle]

pubg isnt dead yet?

[quick hinge]

Pubg

[quick hinge]

Duno

[vocal dew]

My friend is still donating for skins or something like that

[eternal drum]

Anime crossovers always mean a game is dead. Just like companions.

[quick hinge]

We alive

[eternal drum]

You're the one keeping it on life support. A5 Arthur looking ass

[quick hinge]

But im a fish

[hearty turtle]

honestly compared to other gacha idle games, afk arena isnt that bad

[eternal drum]

Ain't no fish I've seen cost $400

[quick hinge]

Medium fish then?

[hearty turtle]

the Overlord gacha game straight up dropped with a day 1 competition/ranking event out where your points straight up came from the amount of legit $$ spent

i never uninstalled a game so fast

[eternal drum]

Some top grade sushi fish

[quick hinge]

[eternal drum]

High fat blue fin tuna

[quick hinge]

I maxed that event

[hearty turtle]

Do you work in tech

[quick hinge]

But wasn't a fan that it was a energy based game

[quick hinge]

Who knows

[eternal drum]

Rule 1 of gacha for me is to never ask someone's occupation

[hearty turtle]

the general consensus has been a lot of the high spenders I see across gacha games/WoW private servers are usually people in tech making a pretty buck, so they have the extra cash to do as they please

[hearty turtle]

altho some people just use these games as an outlet for gambling addictions

[eternal drum]

Kasu occupation is to play gacha tho.

[quick hinge]

[hearty turtle]

no tears, only dopamine. keep swiping

[quick hinge]

Lmfao

[eternal drum]

E-cocaine

[hearty turtle]

anime gachas got me in tears, none of them wanna make husbandos

just a bunch of boring ass waifus

[hearty turtle]

that ones to realistic

[quick hinge]

Indeed

[hearty turtle]

honest to god tho my biggest gripe with mobile gachas, is when they start off in JP first, and release NA version like 6 months/year later

[eternal drum]

That's Madoka right?

[quick hinge]

Mhm

Love her

[hearty turtle]

because then without fail, they release back to back meta breaking units, and never enough to summon, so you're in tears. or swiping

[eternal drum]

I started GFL2 a few days ago. It's pretty easy right now to get first copies of all the meta characters because it's so new

[quick hinge]

It's sht

[hearty turtle]

the dopamine of a brand new, fresh gacha is so great; the rewards are boosted x100, RNG is up. everything feels so good

and then a month later you're depressed in the same cycle

[eternal drum]

At least the rates for spending aren't as bad as companions

The battle pass and monthly pass are actually reasonable prices

And you don't need 24 copies of a character

[hearty turtle]

keep talking smack and they'll make it 36 copies

[eternal drum]

Well transcending already exists

Infinite copies really

[hearty turtle]

infinite replayability, gg

[eternal drum]

I feel like resources are just too finite right now compared to the resources required that everyone just copies the exact same teams for the meta

You don't have the leisure to experiment unless you're a whale

[hearty turtle]

even if we were on a ptr realm with infinite gems

[eternal drum]

Wilder vs wilder. Whoever has more stars wins. Or whoever snipes with the same team but in different positions

[hearty turtle]

meta would still narrow down to like 3 teams

[eternal drum]

3 is more than 1

[hearty turtle]

wilders always been a ganger, its that dawg

[eternal drum]

The requirement for multiple teams might force some sort of meta variances at least

[hearty turtle]

the awakaned fox lady is the only one in companions so far right?

[maiden hare]

Tbh it doesn’t matter anymore, play companions if you want to be out of content in 30days or play or just play Classic and chill (please dont spend any $, not even one because it won’t bring you anything unless you go really high)

[fathom rune]

full f2p

[eternal drum]

🙏

[maiden hare]

For now classic seems like the better option

[fathom rune]

i went on classic now im just tryna figure out wishlist and what to do its been a good min sense i played

[hearty turtle]

honestly if you're brand new, classic can be a bit overwhelming imo

[fathom rune]

nah ive played a few times ona few accs

[hearty turtle]

as it throws everything at you, bunch of side games, the dragons tec, new types

[maiden hare]

Still better to be a little bit overwhelmed then not doing anything after like 2 weeks

[eternal drum]

Companions was interesting when the gap between whales and f2p wasn't so massive. But now with the new event they've unlocked the whales and let them get further ahead than anyone can hope to imagine

[maiden hare]

Anything new*

[eternal drum]

Out of content yet can't do anything to compete

[fathom rune]

atm all i need is a mentor fr just for meta know how and explaining stuff and i should be good

[maiden hare]

Ask in classic channel

[fathom rune]

ya ya

[maiden hare]

Bro I can’t even write anymore

[eternal drum]

A previous gacha I played had overwhelming amounts of content but did the pacing really well. They would have barebones stuff at the start of a server then introduce a new mechanic each week

You basically got to experience the game as though it were being updated consistently

You'd progress and get over your walls every week

Companions should've been like that. Release the actual mechanics that provide progress slowly

Not just the characters without scrolls to even summon them

[hearty turtle]

the stage rush thing in companions is so clunky

itll randomly work for a couple stages then stop, then force me to manually beat em

[eternal drum]

I don't mind it. After a couple weeks you won't even touch it anyway

[swift depot]

Post your wilder box, sacrifice might be worth

[eternal drum]

Having no Trish copies makes things suck

[silent ravine]

Baby ts is coming

The start of powercreep is almost here

[cloud wing]

I feel having no Trish

[quick hinge]

?

[cloud wing]

I have her E+

[quick hinge]

?

[quick hinge]

Ascended tasi

[eternal drum]

A0 tasi over a1 Eironn?

[silent ravine]

The new gm functions exactly like ts

It’s just less teams

[eternal drum]

Was hoping to get 2 more tasi by the time I got the fodder

[cloud wing]

Isn’t that A1 Tasi?

[quick hinge]

Idk what ts is

[silent ravine]

Treasure scramble

[quick hinge]

Ah

Then what is baby ts?

[eternal drum]

Oh it is a1 tasi

[silent ravine]

Treasure frontier

[quick hinge]

Am lost

[eternal drum]

Pretty sure I have to eat gorvo, numisu, and Pippa. If it was just gorvo and numisu that'd the okay

But eating Pippa sets me back for 8 wilders

I won't rush 8 wilders but I eventually need them

[silent ravine]

Do you guys not check the update channel

[pulsar sonnet]

8 currently have 11 wilders

[quick hinge]

Oh

Pirate mode

[quick hinge]

It's called golden Frontier

[silent ravine]

I’m dyslexic

[pulsar sonnet]

We will so how bad it will be xD

[cloud wing]

[quick hinge]

Apprently u can join the legions u want

[cloud wing]

You ok, Kasu?

[quick hinge]

So am joining selen an them

[pulsar sonnet]

Hmm

[silent ravine]

I think they won’t go too hard on yalll

[cloud wing]

Lemme join too

[silent ravine]

But if this is permanent

[cloud wing]

I can help

[quick hinge]

We don't know if it region bassed or global

[silent ravine]

Huge fuck you from Lilith

[cloud wing]

To Classic?

[silent ravine]

To comp

[quick hinge]

Apprently 300 people can join a leagion

So I'm guessing it's global

[cloud wing]

[quick hinge]

If its region

Not enough people

[cloud wing]

Kasuuuuuuuuu

[quick hinge]

[cloud wing]

Team with me

Im helpful

[quick hinge]

Who are you

[silent ravine]

You guys have like 3 regions

[silent ravine]

[cloud wing]

I’m Meta

Howtonotmeta

[eternal drum]

300 people? Damn I don't even think companions has that many active players. It'll just be people fighting against their alt accounts

[cloud wing]

My nitro died

[quick hinge]

[cloud wing]

You don’t remember me?

[quick hinge]

Get more Nitro

[eternal drum]

HowToNotNitro

[cloud wing]

Oh yeah?

I got A3 Skirath, Kasu

[silent ravine]

Prob

[pulsar sonnet]

Ohh, don't think this game will live long enough

[quick hinge]

Nop

[eternal drum]

Is the next new hero after Raine going to be wilder? Do they always rotate factions?

[quick hinge]

: /

[pulsar sonnet]

We will se in few days when test get update

[cloud wing]

[silent ravine]

This week is also anni patch

[pulsar sonnet]

Totally RNG

[quick hinge]

Oh?

Thought it was a bit later

Sht

[silent ravine]

Last year it was slightly earlier

It should be test anni patch this week

[pulsar sonnet]

Anni patch?

[eternal drum]

Fingers crossed the anniversary patch makes up for everything that we have hated these last couple

[quick hinge]

Anniversary

Normally always a good event for games

[silent ravine]

I’m not expecting much

[pulsar sonnet]

What anniversary, we bearly get 180 days

[silent ravine]

Just some qol please

For classic, idk what they give comp

Prob uh hero swap as well

[pulsar sonnet]

Don't give a f about classic

[eternal drum]

I dunno. Have you played a hoyoverse game?

[quick hinge]

[silent ravine]

Classic anni has always been dogshit, don’t get hopes up

[quick hinge]

U mean your 5 summons

Genshin is just sht

What u expect

[eternal drum]

Genshit

[silent ravine]

That’s literally ur future

[quick hinge]

Fr?

What do they offer

[silent ravine]

It’s been hero swap, 10 time emblems, a voyage of wonders and uh

Maybe qol

Like the rift rework

[quick hinge]

I wouldn't mind hero swap

[silent ravine]

That was omega poggers

[quick hinge]

I have heroes I don't want

[cloud wing]

Anni patch any good?

[eternal drum]

If it's hero swap then I won't kill the fodder I have rn

[quick hinge]

Would go for A5 chicken

[cloud wing]

Cuz i have chicken A3?

[quick hinge]

Die

[cloud wing]

We can have chicken together

[eternal drum]

Do Talene wings come off her pre cooked?

She just resurrects infinitely so Talene could be an infinite source of chicken wings

[silent ravine]

Alna is prob next cel hypo

Prob the most optimal swap is audrea for Alna

[quick hinge]

Not for me

Audrae > alna for me

[quick hinge]

[eternal drum]

What if they do hero swap but make alna excluded 😂

[quick hinge]

Would be fine with that

[eternal drum]

I want to turn this Pippa into a Trish

Pippa gave me all these faction scrolls and then trolled me by showing up in my pulls

[quick hinge]

[eternal drum]

What about instead of hero swap we do game swap where we trade companions for something fun

[silent ravine]

Peak

[timber cipher]

Whoever said that combining beast now is better

lied

[vocal dew]

You got unluck
I always got 1 beast with 5 skills

[timber cipher]

i got an beast upgrade 1/5 times

And yea it may be increadibly unlucky but it is what it is.

[nocturne stone]

[pulsar sonnet]

Nice sniping time on arena 🤣🤣

[quick hinge]

Nice

More heroes alive

But lose

[pulsar sonnet]

Have same bug moment ago

2 battles win, but lose

Ehh

[quick hinge]

[pulsar sonnet]

On the 16th place, we will see on what ends

[quick hinge]

My team Keeps getting copied

It's the most annoying thing

[warped rain]

Find a count for that team shrimple

[timber cipher]

i got hit down so much that i dont even bother anymore

[quick hinge]

Ik the counter to my team

Bc I'm the one who made it

[timber cipher]

i rather save the 100 gems

[quick hinge]

But then they just copy that team

[warped rain]

Find a counter to that team then >:)

[timber cipher]

i dont like lvl 200 combat tbf

[quick hinge]

It's not for alliance

[timber cipher]

its all about healing/anti healing atm with talene/nev

[quick hinge]

It for normal arena

[quick hinge]

We don't use nev

Who u got using nev

[nocturne stone]

10min and i get to officially go casual

[timber cipher]

rank1

[warped rain]

Nevanthi not good for arena?

[timber cipher]

rank 4

[quick hinge]

Ah I don't hit sele

Wait

Did she hit me?

[timber cipher]

rank 6

[timber cipher]

yep

[quick hinge]

Oh this mf

[timber cipher]

rank 5 btw 4 healers + anti heal

lvl 200 combat

is all

healing

[quick hinge]

He's only hiting me

[timber cipher]

rank 7 (antiheal)

[quick hinge]

I said nev

Not silas

Bc the silas team is mine

[timber cipher]

well nev is in 4/6 top 6 comps

[timber cipher]

not rly everyone used him before on ice as antiheal counter to nev/aSolise

[quick hinge]

Talking about for alliance mf

[timber cipher]

bc first comp was wilder summons on ice

[quick hinge]

Not before Trish meta

[timber cipher]

[quick hinge]

So far my teams get copied an pasted

Placement for placement

[timber cipher]

copycat winnig with trans/a5, a classic

but i have my fun got a lot of test with maulers aswell as audrae done

[quick hinge]

Well that one was from selen am fine with her doing it

[timber cipher]

against good whales

[quick hinge]

But the others

Are aids

[timber cipher]

and some good defenses

so far audrae/gwyn with icemap seems to be doing the best and countering trish aswell as ainz

but loses against very strong healing comps

with 3-4 healers

shall, talene, nev, silas, asolise was the only team that beat it but wasnt hit that much

and athalia + others would have prob also crushed that gwyn

or a better gwyn

tested gwyn and lyca aswell

but was doing worse

and well mehira is unusable in pvp against good players

[quick hinge]

Just had my arthur bug out

Full energy

No cc'd or on fire

No ult

[quick hinge]

Explain

[ebon sand]

I think I sniped the 1st spot in arena, weee for playing the lame game the way it's designed

Yay

Menirz gonna be mad

[timber cipher]

[quick hinge]

Korean has u added

[timber cipher]

Yea a lot of ppl added me on alliance

[quick hinge]

Rip

[timber cipher]

just accepted a lot since i was on 31/40

aswell as filtering some out that were inactive again

[quick hinge]

Will start the time till he un adds u

[timber cipher]

[quick hinge]

But also did u see the vid?

[timber cipher]

good to know now, will remind you when that happens

[timber cipher]

idk happend to me to quite frequently against arthurs

that they killed like 3-4 of my units

[quick hinge]

Just full energy but no ult?

[timber cipher]

idk arthur seems buggy on that map overall

bc he shouldnt be able to gain energy

so i cannot explain that anomaly

[cloud wing]

I got enough soulstones to use my elite soulstone

It was a Brutus copy. Got him A3 now.

[eternal drum]

Got sniped in arena at 7:59. I dropped a ranking bracket and lost my duo rewards

I might quit here

[cloud wing]

I completely forgot to do pvp

[eternal drum]

Imagine losing 7 days of rewards because someone sniped less than a minute before reset

[cloud wing]

I miss daily rewards

[eternal drum]

Id post in suggestions but I think their paper shredder is full

[timber cipher]

that really feels bad

[eternal drum]

I've never played a gacha with such a bad pvp system before

[timber cipher]

but could be prevented with a duo of a same size

[eternal drum]

Well my duo partner also fluctuated a lot

Between the mid 30s and top 10

I'm typically well into top 30

[timber cipher]

Yea I write with ppl before duoing a lot and communicate

before heading in an event or pvp stuff because of that

[cloud wing]

Should i give ASolise dodgeboots?

Or weapon T1?

[eternal drum]

Not even doing an mmr system is so dumb

The guys who beat me shouldn't have been below me for 7 days

[timber cipher]

I agree that arena has flaws, but we wrote a lot of stuff about it 2 months ago - can only adept to it if its not getting changed

[eternal drum]

My way of adapting will be uninstalling at this rate

[timber cipher]

i believe weapon is more impactful for crit/magic pen

as first

but boots are nice if you sometimes frontline her or have to deal with stuff like enemy cecillia, athalia, theowyn

[timber cipher]

If you're tilt 100% do that

being invested into a game that doenst feel rewarding or nice to play is not a thing you should be stuck with

I generally enjoy afk and like it

[eternal drum]

If the anniversary event doesn't give me a giga boost I will have to

[timber cipher]

I just adept to the systems that dont have great quality of life

idk you dont need to compare with whales - compare with f2ps or small spender if you're a small spender

(eventpasses, 20€ stage advancement bundles, monthly passes)

[eternal drum]

Moreso than comparing with whales I just compare with other games. The battle pass is literally 2x more expensive and provides half the value of any other game

[timber cipher]

my f2p time was me being in arena top 15, dream top 5 and plenty ahead

[timber cipher]

Yea that is completly fair if you can and want to play other games.

I dont have the head for that. I knew what gacchaing meant in here.

If you can be top 1 in a game for 500€ - then it will be probably a seasonal thing or scummy on other ways aswell.
Mobile games are really really expensive and gacchas because of the collections even more so.

But I believe if you compare it to any other big gaccha like genshin you do not get much more value.

You get characters which also do get powercrept and so on. (You keep thjem collected and they're still sometimes usable, but more oftn than not a few new heroes come out and take over the meta)

I've lowerd my budget for now till I see upcoming content that'll make players happy and stick moe to the game that is all that I can do.

But I enjoy the game and will stick to it.

[eternal drum]

I definitely don't know if I'd place Genshin much above this game if at all but the thing about auto battlers is that there is no gameplay. The gameplay is numbers going up. So when the numbers don't go up then the game has nothing

Games like Genshin at least have gameplay so the numbers don't need to go up all the time. Though that got really stale too

[timber cipher]

The numbers do go slowly up tho

[eternal drum]

The game doesn't pace out the walls though

[timber cipher]

That the numbers go quickly up at first is a thingy that almost every idle game has and then they'll hit you with the walls

[ebon sand]

oh it's time already for a new T1 box, now who do I give one to, another Trish upgrade, Solise last slot, a weapon for a char that didn't get any yet?

[eternal drum]

I've played idle games before

The pacing for this one is very off

[timber cipher]

In what sense?

[eternal drum]

In one of the previous games I played there were multiple systems to increase your power. A dozen different systems. But each new server would slowly roll out those systems after every couple weeks. Those systems would provide major power boosts that would each break major walls and keep you progressing every day

[timber cipher]

You have the pacing bound to your levels and the levels from your duo aswell as from your and your duos collection.

And the levels are a baseline that are more impactful than the collection is.

[eternal drum]

And once all those systems do become available you have lots of different multipliers to help you break through walls

Power scaling is exponential the more multipliers you have

[timber cipher]

The major power system that breaks walls are levels

[eternal drum]

The power scaling in this game is exponential for the walls but the increase in power each day is linear

[timber cipher]

And then there are heroes like trishea, gwyneth and crassio that are from the factions that are stage solutions for themself.

[eternal drum]

There are just hard diminishing returns here

[timber cipher]

I dont think so because ascending your heroes is exponential aswell as the enemies on the combats ascending hereos.

While the level on the other hand is linear yes.

[eternal drum]

I mean how many campaign levels do I have to clear before I get any increase in AFK income

Not even a linear increase in income

It's stagnant

[timber cipher]

For exp its every stage.

For dust its every once in a while.

But you do get 2hour boost from pulls, 24 hour boosts from events (even as f2p - f.e. in alliance)

You have the fast sweep rewards which give 2 hour boosts.

If resources would be exponential you couldnt have these systems/giveouts because they'd be broken at some point.

[eternal drum]

The boosts are just different forms of fixed income

[timber cipher]

Yea

And if it gets exponential

p2w gets worse

dont you agree?

because if a whale is a few chapters ahead

then they'd be gone forever

[eternal drum]

The game I played before I was top 5 f2p and there were bigger whales in the server than mine is here where I'm top 20

Pacing can feel exponential while being balanced

[timber cipher]

I think thats the issue for you with the game and that it ok.

I wont disagree on your feeling.

[eternal drum]

My feeling is that the game has such little content that what it does have should be the best it can be

Most developers have a paper shredder suggestion box but at least they've made a better game at its base

[timber cipher]

I mean, how long are you playing afk for?

We do got a new event that isnt something that classic had with completly new systems.

We got divinity unlocked on all heroes - which weren't implemented (and would've been serious paywalls on classic - with the current resource stage - while ascending a hero is pretty f2p firendly)

[timber cipher]

We do get ingame feedback every one in a while.

[eternal drum]

Do we? I went through the entire suggestion chat and didn't see a single message from lilith

[timber cipher]

And I think they just dont care as much for the discord

Had 2

in 76 days

surverys

[eternal drum]

have they ever defended why they thought the new arena was good

[timber cipher]

Im just patient and will look at it from a different point of view

I believe they have their own view and release schedule and do things their way.

and I'll give them that time and trust.

[quick hinge]

2 team arena now

[timber cipher]

I will be disappointed when the time comes.

But cant say they're doing nothing - so I'm happy with it and patient.

[quick hinge]

M8

This is getting uncanny

6 times in a row now

[timber cipher]

tf

like i really get 1/3 fodder

[quick hinge]

Die

That's bs

[timber cipher]

and 2/3 heroes

[eternal drum]

When's the next developer update post?

[timber cipher]

well otherwise i wouldnt have had so many ascensions and way too much fodder overflow

[quick hinge]

Must be nice getting heroes u want

[eternal drum]

hold out for hero swap copium

[eternal drum]

The heroes you don't want will become the heroes you do want

[quick hinge]

Ascended chicken now though

Time to work on ascended salaki

[eternal drum]

I prefer to eat my chicken without being covered in sand

[timber cipher]

this was the last one i googled in a few seconds:

So easy 😎🤣

[timber cipher]

martyr 70 is crzay

i did like what41 after couple of tries and ended with 60 with a lot of luck i believe

no it wasnt 60 it was like 54 or 56

[eternal drum]

I can't find anything for companions updates

only classic

[timber cipher]

Yea, there were never dev Q/A's as far as im aware.

I believe they have set their own pace and stuff they wanna do for companions with what they learned from classic and I'll see where it takes me.

Its a nice and nostalgic ride for me.

[quick hinge]

Slacker

[timber cipher]

i think he knows now about the event

[quick hinge]

Only 350 though

No Arthur

[timber cipher]

i had way less xp than you and am stuck on xp

[quick hinge]

Stuck on dust

[timber cipher]

i think the right play would've been on every 10th stage to go if you get xp

and not swipe for 2sg cards

[quick hinge]

Depends on what u needed

I needed all 3

So

[timber cipher]

and if so 24 hour xp would've prob been more worth than 2sg cards

[eternal drum]

but those SG cards could be anything. They could even be EXP. You know how much you need some of those.

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-mystery-box-boat-could-be-anything-gif-22471323

[quick hinge]

Coulda woulda shoulda

To late now

I'm fine with the outcome

[timber cipher]

Yea

was a good event for us

[quick hinge]

Indeed

[timber cipher]

ig they have X value - and are rare to get aswell

[pulsar sonnet]

LoL im on flor 17 xd stiupid event

[quick hinge]

Will soon push to 400

[timber cipher]

how are your faction towers looking btw?

want to see how much im slacking off

[timber cipher]

i really struggle with 584 tbh but been not trying many variations yet

just have been autobattling with your team like 50 times

[quick hinge]

?

[timber cipher]

team 1 wont get it done with arthur/aSolise

ig i need to do 2-3 stages in graveborn and 10 stages in wilder tower

[quick hinge]

Was the weakest to beat that stage

[timber cipher]

Yea its a tough one

like that formation is not it

and gwyneth is also not working well bc i have to kill crassio and if i kill crassio i dont trigger brutus passive fast enough before frontline dies

[quick hinge]

Worked fine for me

[timber cipher]

a4 arthur

[quick hinge]

Swipe more

[timber cipher]

a5 aSolise with t2's

[quick hinge]

Rewatching sacred beast

Just as good as I remembered

[timber cipher]

i already prepared a bit for alna

[quick hinge]

Alna is sht though

[timber cipher]

better brutus, no?

[quick hinge]

Not even close

[timber cipher]

How is she shit tho, I loved her and the oden comp years ago 👀

And we do have grezhul and ferael

[quick hinge]

Feral is sht

Grez has some use

[timber cipher]

only because we had better options so far and no fitting team for him

in graveborn tower is even used as e+ commonly

[quick hinge]

I haven't seen a single person use him

[timber cipher]

look graveborn tower mf

and if we have alna

we can do a stall team

and who likes stall

[timber cipher]

grezhul and ferael do - debuffing whole enemy team atk by 30%, healing aswell as everything else

1st 3 solution i look at

all have ferael

[quick hinge]

Mine dont

[timber cipher]

ur 2 stages higher

im a slacker

[timber cipher]

lb tower is later only belinda btw

ig some do belinda gwyn aswell but lowest power solutions

[hollow flume]

I think Grez not doing much dmg is bc the atk rating he can steal from his opponent has been capped at 700% of his atk rating (in Classic, it is unlimited)

[timber cipher]

thats classic

companion

[hollow flume]

600%

[timber cipher]

his ult having a 200% multi instead of 130% multi explains one video that i made

this one

[finite fjord]

Pro-trolling?

[shadow zenith]

Dam, impossible to get arthur for f2p huh.

[quick hinge]

No

It will just take longer

[eternal drum]

it'll take longer but at the same time currently not worth it

giving up way too many emblems to do it

Unless they come out and say lab is here

[quick hinge]

@timber cipher

Give me ascended shroom

Pls an thx

[timber cipher]

lost one

[quick hinge]

Wym

[quick hinge]

Also, thoughts on this setup

[quick hinge]

Oh

[timber cipher]

looks decent

someone told me pet odds where upped

turns out person lied

[quick hinge]

They are

But u can still get sht rng

[timber cipher]

[quick hinge]

U needed that sht rng

[timber cipher]

all my pets are sht

beside my mythic deer

[quick hinge]

Deserved

[timber cipher]

my pet rng is abyssmal

[eternal drum]

I think there needs to be a slightly better rng manupulation system for combining pets

[quick hinge]

Working on getting ascended shroom atm

[timber cipher]

kinda my pets are actually f2p

[quick hinge]

^

[timber cipher]

didnt buy one thing that increases petgain

aside from seasonpass ig

[quick hinge]

Buying pets scrolls is a waste

[timber cipher]

my mate has a honest a7 owl

that is really decent

[quick hinge]

For pvp

[timber cipher]

the kraken

[timber cipher]

pretty good setups

kasu i can invite you to arena?

tf

[eternal drum]

It'd be okay if it didn't get +1 buff every time but it'd be nice if it let you choose which buff from each pet you want to lock when combining

[timber cipher]

are we same region?

[quick hinge]

Nop

If u click invite it says can inv bc not in region

[timber cipher]

new duo drafted

[quick hinge]

Ended up teaming with him

[quick hinge]

Ah ariella

Gl

She's massive

[timber cipher]

beatable

[quick hinge]

Only m Arthur

She's going f2p

[timber cipher]

+20 tasi of the poor

[quick hinge]

[timber cipher]

if kasu has tran tasi

i know where tasi is going to end up

[quick hinge]

She has ngl

Probably the best teams u could make

[timber cipher]

shes pretty good - stalling everywhere and with +30 takes off decent chunks off attack

poor guy in 6th spot early

ppl spent too much diamonds on pushing arena

[timber cipher]

that fawkes a4
