Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[ashen thunder]

I am skipping till December anyways
Just like last 2 years

[grand bramble]

There're so many stuff since I left... And I confused now

[ashen thunder]

Anni - December Poma is dead for me always

Except year 1

[round mason]

||im skipping until paldea favs arrive, which is alot of waiting.||

[tardy fiber]

I still haven't login and i saw people already fiddling with skill gears

[grand bramble]

This time.... It is hisui month

[ashen thunder]

Skill gears look expensive

[grand bramble]

Now... They are real

[ashen thunder]

Better to wait for some theory craft

[grand bramble]

So... Dawn and

Akari

Lucas and rei

[round mason]

skill gears do not exist to me

[gray sail]

||Luckily no Winona or Wallace alt.||

[ashen thunder]

2 PUs for 1 skill gear is 🤮

[hard wave]

Gear truly is garbage

I will continue using my 3* gear

[round mason]

you can still win without the skill gear sooo

[tardy fiber]

I just gonna do skill gear slowly, not like we cannot clear stuff using normal 3* gears

[ashen thunder]

I don't care abt winning

It's abt raising shit I got access to

[grand bramble]

So the new gears are useless

[winged fossil]

wtf is skill gear

i am so confused

[hard wave]

Dont waste ur powerups, its like 5% for damage reduction or powerup during weather and stuff

[hard wave]

Trash

[tardy fiber]

But its a skip month, so i guess i could spend some PUs

[ashen thunder]

Powerup during weather

[chrome nest]

What’s a skill gear

[ashen thunder]

That sounds enticing

[winged fossil]

im pretty sure from this datamine that im gonna be absent from here 2 POMA days from now. due to what the ||calem|| rerun implies

this is sooner than i expected but im both upset and happy at the same time

[round mason]

i hate suffering from poma burnout

[tardy fiber]

Wont he replace Zerena slot? So banner starts on 25th?

So plenty time of saving as he lasts till 24th November

[winged fossil]

i mean the fact NC Serena rerun is all but guaranteed cause paired with him

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, she might be rerunning on 24th November as there's only nc calem pic for now

Oops 25

[hard wave]

Yeah but its terrible never know when u’ll need then anyway

[ashen thunder]

Say that when anni Skyla reruns

[grand bramble]

OK... From what I seen here.. This skill gear is terrible... 5% of something

[ashen thunder]

No guarantee next gonna be NCserena

[grand bramble]

Which is.... TRASH

[ashen thunder]

[winged fossil]

true, either way it drastically increased the chance out of left field

[round mason]

i am definitely not touching the skill gears

[chrome nest]

I don’t really have motivation in poma I don’t know why though

[grand bramble]

So... It is better to not spend 20 worth of your powerup

[round mason]

i wanna spend my powerups on something more useful

[grand bramble]

Umm... U know... I already quit a few months ago

[chrome nest]

Oh alright

[grand bramble]

For the same reason too

[chrome nest]

I’ll try to save up some gems starting October

[grand bramble]

I will return... If the nostalgia kicks in

[unkempt vortex]

Don’t

It’s better to never look back

[round mason]

save yourself

[ashen thunder]

Coping for ash return is

good thing I have him and team rocket duo

♿♿

[round mason]

i might take another break from the game

[ashen thunder]

When having a gridless snek is bigger flex than multiple MFs

[round mason]

i would still do the events and stuff but ehhh overall game is feeling more boring to me

[unkempt vortex]

That’s always the best feeling in gacha games

[chrome nest]

The game reminds me of Dokkan battle so I might play it when I am bored playing Dokkan

[unkempt vortex]

Having units you know were for promo/collab and won’t rerun like 90%

If ever

[winged fossil]

good thing that i dont like ash as a character that much anyways.

oh cool, new unova gen pool. wasnt sure if that was a spotlight or not, happy to see a new genpool support

always happy to see more gen pools for us savers to inevitably get when we chase a fav

[rotund sleet]

phoebe alt 2 months after i quit what is sprint and all that jazz

[winged fossil]

basically a new sync type which its ex is literally just -3 sync accel ex sync effect

so basically adrenaline 3 baked into their ex syncs

field ex sync basically applies a terrain effect on sync with extension 5 on that application (usually a zone)

[lost bobcat]

Thry had to diversify them earlier, if will take a while to get used to it

Mainly bcs of candies

[unkempt vortex]

Lenora is gen pool and not variety

unova max is still real

[winged fossil]

im both hype and not hype for this month so far. unless theres a rerun banner i missed this month its a skip month cause novembers got high odds at needing to do something for it

expecting sub 20k gems this month, but hey, i think i saw unoVA rerun finally in there so i finally get to ex ghetsis this month i think

[vernal glade]

It should be. They even said it on the letter.

So you should finally get him to be EX

[grand bramble]

I noticed something....
The retweet rewards nowadays

I mean... Is it normal

[winged fossil]

...ok im guaranteed to be doing stuff in november judging by what i stumbled across in the datamine...yay... fav time.

[unkempt vortex]

Can they please stop rerunning redlax

[winged fossil]

hoping something happens gemwise rather than my sub20k expectation

[unkempt vortex]

This is the 4th time this year

[winged fossil]

else im gonna be fucking screwed over in december

[unkempt vortex]

He was just here last month

[winged fossil]

on the plus side: ||no more paulo temptations cause i know two things coming in the next few months that i need to save for||

||SS N rerun and high chance of NC Serena the month after||

[uncut comet]

Rallies they also swapped coins with the less limited cakes

[rotund sleet]

so are sync type and unit type different now ?

[tardy jolt]

No, you can get a cake to give a unit an additional sync role on top of their regular one

You can get a cake for free in around 2 months of gameplay

[rotund sleet]

more time sinks

[tardy fiber]

I got this from lodge hurmmm not sure what it is used for.

[cunning swan]

||three whole pities!||

Rei comes.............

[tardy fiber]

Fire HS on November so we got a month to prepare

[rare swan]

nice pfp

[tardy fiber]

He will be my first ever lodge plushie

Gonna put it in lodge shelf

I love that next month is a skip, i can catch-up on maxing theme skills for non eggmon pairs, and 5* remaining non eggmon pairs. While amassing gems

[winged fossil]

next month woulda been an easy skip ||if that SSN rerun banner wasnt such good value for me, getting SSN and possibly up to 2 other new units to my roster?||

literally was the only PF still on my rerun list iirc so

my 2 pities wont last long but its nice to be able to reach it before i likely get shafted this month and likely next month, i suppose

im just hoping it wont be pity for my target so i can go back to saving for nc serena rerun's inevitability...

at least this month doesnt add any new favs to the bucket list, i can be thankful for that.

[rare swan]

mhmm, this month is a skip for me, which is nice

need to ||get back the pity i spent on those damn rocket execs||

[tardy fiber]

Oh right there's diglett eggmon too, hope i can get a shiny

A ground eggmon might be useful as ground pairs itself are scarce

For future ground HS

[round mason]

despite 2 faves this month i'll be skipping ||mostly because anni treated me horribly||

[versed flame]

||i need to weigh up my options, I'm probably going for one hisui (rei likely) but need to think about unoVA as well and whether it's worth it||

[tardy fiber]

Good to see a lot of us are skipping, hope that our patience will be rewarded on November

[round mason]

im more happy abt giovanni lodge

[winged fossil]

im especially glad that my only concerning banner is near end of the month, incase theres something i need to bail from my target for next month

[round mason]

we are getting 3k tommorow? or on the 29th?

[tardy fiber]

Same, a poison f2p pair...that will come handy for future poison HS

[rare swan]

yeah i'm really hoping a pair I REALLY want drops in November

haven't had a big fave drop since SC Shauna

[cunning swan]

nice emote

[tardy fiber]

Also i will be able to make lodge silver level 200 before Giovanni arrives, well that is for my hopium if DeNa ever gonna increase lodge milestones to 200

[vestal leaf]

I'm waiting for datamine even tho Phoebe and Roxanne are in my "must get alt" list

[lean mango]

Good for me too

[vestal leaf]

Because this month feels like huge bait

Like

[lean mango]

No spending gems on Poison for a while

[vestal leaf]

HUGE

Bait

[tardy fiber]

You deserved the rest after 2 poison faves stuck in horrendous rate banner

Lets just chill on October

[lean mango]

~~Im still hurt by that banner ~~

[lean mango]

|| Phoebe is right there ):||

[round mason]

||the only thing thats tempting me for oct would be genesect||

[tardy fiber]

||she's poison?||

[lean mango]

||no, but she's a fave||

[round mason]

did he get a rerun or am i being delusional

[tardy fiber]

Well ||good luck ||

[lean mango]

||Thanks ||

[tardy fiber]

He reruns with the other 2 unoVA pairs in 1 banner

[round mason]

oh

skipping then

[tardy fiber]

Same, i did get tempted as i have 1/5 SsHilda then i remembered others in it are already 3/5 so abort mission

[vestal leaf]

||Which to be fair it's an incredibly valuable banner||

||If you're lacking 2 or all of them, or the ones you have are 1/5||

[tardy fiber]

True||just not worth for me as two pairs already at 3/5 and 1 at 1/5||

[vestal leaf]

Yeah ofc

If you have a 3/5

That's in a dual or triple banner

Never scout

Or you'll end with that one 5/5 and everyone else at 0

[tardy fiber]

True

[vestal leaf]

I totally didn't have that happen to me

[tardy fiber]

Good then, im skipping next month

[violet nebula]

Giving EX roles to variety pairs

Who da faq is pulling these geesh

[tardy fiber]

Not me for now, well for now because i dont know what the future holds...i will grab UBs , paradox or Legendaries even if they are varieties

[violet nebula]

Noland deserved better

[unkempt vortex]

We know people pull variety no matter what especially since they showed this month they’re willing to lock new units behind it

[warm scarab]

anyone only save free gems + sync pack? Just want to understand your gem budgetin

and then maybe someone who pays for sync orb pack + gold candy pack and understand the gem planning for that

[vestal leaf]

Rockets already had role ex

It's not unexpected

[vestal leaf]

If it meant Yancy in masters, I'd pull

[vestal leaf]

I bought the story bundle last April, I finished it this month

I'm expecting to buy a sync orb bundle every 2 months

[warm scarab]

O every 2 months

[vestal leaf]

I don't wanna spend 20 bucks for a gacha

A year

No sir

Realistically we get 5-8 selects a year

That's 6-10 bundles

[warm scarab]

But think about the time we spend on this game.. 🥹

[vestal leaf]

At most

You don't need much more

[warm scarab]

OK so base on your spending how much do you pull per month

[vestal leaf]

Depends

[warm scarab]

Average

[vestal leaf]

Some months I pull 3 units, others I skip completely

[warm scarab]

You been playing for how long

[vestal leaf]

In average, one per month? Circa

The rate increased a lot since 3rd Anni

Lots of units every month, lots of underrated/fave trainer alts

I also am always over 150k free gems so I'm more prone to spending because I know I can afford an extra shaft

I'm a day one player

[warm scarab]

O dang

I had 100k before Anni

And now I don't have 1 pity

🥹

Any chance I see your roster?

[vestal leaf]

It's stacked from saving for ages

I just broke past 3mil STR today

[round mason]

no gem count yet?

[vestal leaf]

It takes usually 6-10 hours

[tardy fiber]

I buy a sync orb pack every 20 days

[warm scarab]

How much of your units come from dailies

[tardy fiber]

Oh thats tough, i only get 1 unit from daily, which is Marnie.
Well because i rarely do dailies after bad experience from 2021 anni on which i did dailies on annilillie+anniN+annisteven+ssleon without great result

[warm scarab]

I see so you save all of it

I've been doing dailies for 3 months and I got 2 limited. 1 Archie and 1 NC Blue. So it's kinda hooked me 😂

[tardy fiber]

Not really, i do normal multis

I only do 1 daily to fill the 400/400 pity point

I will be more tempted to do dailies if it gives 3 pity points instead of 1 point

Paid gems is more valuable than free

[vestal leaf]

Very few, like 5-6 in 4 years span

I do 4/400 on banners I'm ready to pity for and 1/400 on banners that I like but can't afford multying on

Like, I did 1/400 on Argenta and NC Leaf, 4/400 on NC blue and Palmer (who I then multied on too ofc)

Sometimes that 1-4/400 saved my ass

But 6 times in 4 years isn't that insane as some other people who do WAAAY more dailies

[tawny cedar]

Damn fall looking amazing

But I'm still going for just farty rerun

[sturdy flower]

Halloween has the cutest alts

I'm willing to buy one bundle to select one of them later in the year

skill gear... more rng which i already hate

[tardy fiber]

I just gonna do skill gear slowly, need good base stats for it to be better than 3* gear, the other effects are just bonuses

Well at least there's more customization like you can try to get offense stats even on non offense stats gear like pin that usually have only hp and speed

You can hope for lucky in skill gear so that it give hp + speed + spatk

[tawny cedar]

I'm glad we didn't get hisui typhlosiob and got the other 2 instead

Easier saving for me

I think I could leave this month with quite a bit of gems depending on whether Morty takes me to pity or not

[tardy fiber]

Goodluck, seasonal rerun banner is rough if use free gems

Well at least fall rerun is not worse than xmas rerun

[oak crest]

[past gate]

They really said let's add gear rng in our game

[tardy fiber]

Maybe i should just rename my skill gear first set as normal gear EX, well because normal pairs need all of the help it can get as they don't have type advantage

I think other typings can survive just with normal 3* type gears

I should lock this lol

If three gears have it, its already 9% bonus

[oak crest]

its actually decent since there is no special requirements

[past gate]

Yo palmer dps

[oak crest]

like needing terrain/zone/weather

[crisp oracle]

Good news for me, this month is a...

https://tenor.com/view/skip-bayless-shannon-sharp-no-thanks-gif-10096387

[oak crest]

skipping this month as well

[vestal leaf]

You also needs stats tho

[oak crest]

knowing them, the next region NC is probably coming next month or Dec

[vestal leaf]

Unova most likely

Also aside stats

You need the theme skills to fit

[tardy fiber]

Arceus preparation too and the IDisk turtle also looks like normal

[oak crest]

coping for Arceus to have similar mechanics to SSHilbert

[tardy fiber]

Yep, gonna lock good stats if i got it

[crisp oracle]

Very happy to skip this month. ||now hopefully no SS Hilda or SC Diantha jumpscare over the next few months||

[vestal leaf]

I thought you could only lock effect

Not stats

[vestal leaf]

Wdym no SS hilda

[crisp oracle]

||It has become clear that I cannot read.||

[vestal leaf]

She's rerunning this month

[oak crest]

SSHilda is rerunning this month

[vestal leaf]

[oak crest]

☠️

[crisp oracle]

||NGL that banner is actually really good in terms of value||

[oak crest]

single/double/triple featured is alw nice

[crisp oracle]

SS Hilda and SS Hilbert are amazing units

SS N is solid too

[vestal leaf]

Especially because all 3 unovas are really good

[oak crest]

ye

[crisp oracle]

||I'll wait for datamine||

[vestal leaf]

Yeah me too

[ashen thunder]

It runs after datamine so you can wait out as well tbf

[stray steeple]

Gem breakdown when?

[vestal leaf]

The only reason not to wait is if you want hisui MC

[ashen thunder]

Like that banner ends on November 12th

[stray steeple]

I need to know if I can still get NC Red

[vestal leaf]

6-8 hours

[weary aspen]

would i be able to ask abt what banner(s) would be most worth pulling on for me here? ik it’s a saving support but i see ppl talking abt banner value so i was just curious

[oak crest]

probably ask at #1006350210450079784

[crisp oracle]

Tlim is under-the-weather so it might be a bit

[vestal leaf]

Depends on roster

[oak crest]

or pm lounge

[vestal leaf]

Nothing is must pull

[tardy fiber]

Hoping for good gems amount, especially this already looks like 3k gems if 5 past EBE reruns. Plus the 3k gems from past twitter rally too.

[unkempt vortex]

There are no gems next month

[vestal leaf]

But some types are weaker than others

[unkempt vortex]

It’s a must pull if you make it a must pull

[oak crest]

#poma-questions will probably offer the best advice on your queries on what banner to pull if u really want to ig

[crisp oracle]

Wtf is this EBE 💀

[vestal leaf]

It's 5 EBEs

[tardy fiber]

Looks like they rerun 5 EBEs

[vestal leaf]

Extreme Battle Event
Start: 20-10-2023 06:00:00
End: 03-11-2023 06:00:00

[oak crest]

5

what region is it based on

[tardy fiber]

Gio probably from kanto VA

Ethan johto VA

[oak crest]

if its Kanto i probably wont worry too much

[tardy fiber]

Rachel 2021 anni EBE

[vestal leaf]

Rachel was... uhhh I think unova?

[oak crest]

Unova I should be fine as well

[unkempt vortex]

As long as you have a protag you’re fine

[vestal leaf]

I think sawyer was hoenn and lear alola

[oak crest]

think Alola is the 1 that I have to worry

[tardy fiber]

I forgot lorelei from where

[vestal leaf]

Lear EBE was rough yea

[unkempt vortex]

Hoenn sucks

[oak crest]

my Alola lineup is probably the weakest

[unkempt vortex]

It’s just the may and Steven region

[latent salmon]

state and sliza used up all the summer alts for hoenn that weren't may or steven, sorry folks

[rain canyon]

Gio: Red + CBlue or Ss misty and ss erika

Rachel: Unova EB for Anni N

Ethan: Ss gio

Lorelei: SST Red

Lance:... No clud

[oak crest]

lol SST red

[tardy fiber]

Sstred, i forgot what pair i used to clear it

[oak crest]

i will use NC red to crush that stage instead

[tardy fiber]

Oh probably N

[hard wave]

Who r these for anyway

[oak crest]

iirc i used BP Sophocles back at 3rd anni

[rain canyon]

iirc she has tough cookie or solething

[oak crest]

for the elec weak stage

worked pretty fine

[rain canyon]

and i don't think Kanto was boosted

Wait no Kanto was boosted

[oak crest]

typing boosted?

[tardy fiber]

Iirc it's electric boosted

[rain canyon]

Electric and Kanto

[oak crest]

im probably still fine either way

[hard wave]

So they rerun ebes but not the units?

[oak crest]

got the chad NC Blue to buff my existing not-that-OP elec units

[rain canyon]

In order:

Gio: Kanto

Rachel: Unovz

Ethan: Johto

Lorelei: Kanto/Electric types

[hard wave]

Kanto va EBE, Anni N, SS Gio, SST Red, and ?

[oak crest]

as long as no Alola im not too worried

[upbeat lotus]

Ethan's also boosts Kanto

[rain canyon]

no clue what was Lance for...

[oak crest]

Alola is probably my weakest

[tardy fiber]

I used power boosted Gio to clear Gio EBE

[rain canyon]

Maybe Lance is a new one ?

[oak crest]

since i skipped the entire VA

[rain canyon]

OR WAIT

[upbeat lotus]

Lance was for Dragon types, he was made for Anni Raihan

[rain canyon]

IS IT THE EB FOR 2.5 ANNI ?

YUP

[hard wave]

Oh cool I can do these then

[upbeat lotus]

Yes

[rain canyon]

So drzgon type

[tardy fiber]

oh crap the EBE that made me use Blaine for trap and weather

[oak crest]

oh no

dragon typing

my dragon supports are probably non existant

[hard wave]

Gio ill use ash and nc red, rachel I can do w ss hilda, ethan’s I was able to clear in august easily so, lorelei i could do with ash and ill just bring nc red as well

And I have 3/5 flyhan

[hard wave]

Only? I only have drake

[rain canyon]

i fear the gem count

[oak crest]

same

LOL

[rain canyon]

This anni's gem was a fucking disaster and fall is one of the month with the least amount of gems

[oak crest]

yea its worrying

hopefully it isnt too bad

[tawny cedar]

If we get 23.6k I'm good

[unkempt vortex]

Anni sucked cause they tried to cram 2 things and it still felt like nothing

[rain canyon]

are we gonna go back to 2nd anni's gem count

Like before 2nd anni

[vestal leaf]

I'm expecting 22-24k

[crisp oracle]

Hardest EBE is prob Lorelei

[unkempt vortex]

Bold of you to think higher than 20k

[vestal leaf]

Sub 20k is a non occurrence

[unkempt vortex]

There’s a first for everything

[latent salmon]

they just switched the gem counts for anni and fall

[oak crest]

probably the dragon type ebe for me

i just hope Zerena destroys the opponent fast enough before my team falls

since my tanker will be drake

[rain canyon]

It's not a forst

[vestal leaf]

We haven't gotten a sub 20k in 2 years

And a sub 24k in a year and some

[unkempt vortex]

That means they wanna bring it back

[vestal leaf]

That would be them asking to EoS

[unkempt vortex]

[rain canyon]

We had it 3-4 times actually

[vestal leaf]

2021 was hell

[oak crest]

16k

[vestal leaf]

Worst year for PoMa

[oak crest]

☠️

[vestal leaf]

Hands down

[rain canyon]

Dena was greedy back then

[unkempt vortex]

Best year

[rain canyon]

Starting November Dena started becoming more generous

[crisp oracle]

(Undocumented) lmao

[vestal leaf]

DeNa was introducing banners without increasing economy

[crisp oracle]

Did we just forget

[vestal leaf]

Back then we didn't have people counting

Not like now

[rain canyon]

Well... Just below there was another count...

[unkempt vortex]

Counting is uncommon in games

[oak crest]

it probably was too shit that people dont even want to tally

[vestal leaf]

Yeah but the people counting weren't doing it for the community

[unkempt vortex]

Unless you’re in certain communities

[vestal leaf]

They were doing it for posterity

And in general gem talk wasn't so common

It started becoming more heated with master fairs

[rain canyon]

i wanna count the gems but i'm so fucking messy

[vestal leaf]

Thing is

2021 was horrible

This Anni was a breeze compared to 1.5

We still got 60+k in 2 months

Sure a ton of banners

But it was manageable

2 pities in 2021 meant 3+ months of saving gone

[unkempt vortex]

That’s where we are now

[vestal leaf]

Not really

2 pities is 2 months and a bit

It's a huge difference between 3.5 and 2-2.5

[rain canyon]

i am one multi from c red

Just fuck you Red

[vestal leaf]

Cred?

[rain canyon]

Fucked me up the whole anni

[vestal leaf]

NC?

[rain canyon]

Yeah c red

what other c red is there

[vestal leaf]

You'll get 3k in two days

[vestal leaf]

Classic red

[rain canyon]

.....

[oak crest]

[rain canyon]

[unkempt vortex]

They don’t know

[rain canyon]

@icy marsh teach him

[unkempt vortex]

There is no classic red

[rain canyon]

or her, they whatever

[icy marsh]

Who?

Smh Clair

[rain canyon]

.

[vestal leaf]

Alt. 2 Red

Or whatever

[icy marsh]

Idk how many times i've already corrected them

[vestal leaf]

Me specifically?

[icy marsh]

Yeah

[rain canyon]

WE FINALLY HAVE A C RED

And people still think redlax is named Classic Red

[vestal leaf]

I have no recollection

Of that happening

[icy marsh]

I've definitely done it before

[vestal leaf]

Redlax is a weird name

[icy marsh]

Anyway, there is no Classic Red

[vestal leaf]

True which is why red will never be in lodhe

Lodge

[icy marsh]

??

He wont be in lodge for other reasons tbh

[vestal leaf]

Should they put the SS

[icy marsh]

Not because theres no Classic Red

[vestal leaf]

Or fair red

[icy marsh]

I imagine they would use SS

[vestal leaf]

Redlax

[vestal leaf]

Interesting

[icy marsh]

SS Red is the fit they use in events & treat as base even though Redlax is the base pair

They being DeNa

[unkempt vortex]

Dena go 6 months without rerunning redlax:impossible

[rain canyon]

WHY IS HE RERUNNING EVERY TUESDAY

[icy marsh]

[rain canyon]

How many times has he rerun ?

[unkempt vortex]

He’s been rerun 4 times this year 3 if you don’t count the paid New Years

[torpid prawn]

Red & Snorlax

And there are still pf that haven’t been rerun

[rain canyon]

[vestal leaf]

Rerun him more denav

[vestal leaf]

I need more skip months

[icy marsh]

7th is coming next month right?

[unkempt vortex]

Didn’t SS leon get a rerun recently

[rain canyon]

Nope

[sweet tide]

[rain canyon]

We also got 3 months without any egg event so...

[sweet tide]

i dont see the blissful bonanza banner so we probably wont be getting that ever again lol. special rally usually comes with bonanza and training area rally so

[icy marsh]

Imagine taking 2 years to rerun

[ashen thunder]

Atleast she reran

Ssleon tho

[rain canyon]

Bro just not here

[icy marsh]

Just select him duh

[ashen thunder]

Wouldn't be surprised if we get shiny eternatus before him

[rain canyon]

ALSO WHY C CALEN RERUN ???

I don't mind but... I'm surprised

[icy marsh]

He's been in 3? Selects i think? I know 2 for sure

[rain canyon]

Is the mf order random ????

[icy marsh]

Yes

[ashen thunder]

They don't want to do 3rd anni units

That's why

Well probs get em on next year Jan or smth

[icy marsh]

Tbh i didn't expect post 3rd anni MFs instead though

I was thinking 2nd anni rerun tbh

[ashen thunder]

Well orderwise ccalem and cerena are next

[unkempt vortex]

They REALLY don’t want people getting another chance at SST red

[ashen thunder]

If you ignore anni MFs

[icy marsh]

Its funny that they tried to cuck him in the Kanto EBE but he can still clear it

[sweet tide]

i think 3rd anni rerun will probably come in dec or jan like 2nd anni rerun

[icy marsh]

Also why am i in gemzen

This is weird, i'm not a dirty saver

[sweet tide]

also the ebe event is so funny

take on trainers from different regions!

said regions are kanto and johto

-_-

[icy marsh]

[ashen thunder]

Plz tell me it's 300 gems and not 100 gems per fight

[sweet tide]

i actually dont know bc the pastebin is not out

[ashen thunder]

Coz I wouldn't be surprised if ebe gems are nerfed

[sweet tide]

but if its 300 gems per fight

that would be 3k gems right there

[icy marsh]

Oh yeah thats another weird one they did with Kanto EBE, there was only 1 made for all 3 instead of seperate EBEs

[ashen thunder]

Yea

I don't see em giving 3k gems

From 1 event

[sweet tide]

they nerfed 23k gems in 2 mths

[rain canyon]

they could if it's separated per days

[sweet tide]

3k gems is the bare minimum lol

and they even nerfed the social rally rewards lol

[rain canyon]

Also didnly we like...

Got 7k in a single day in septemner ?

[icy marsh]

SC Diantha etc event flashbacks

Idr the name for it

[vestal leaf]

Zygarde -> frogs maybe

[ashen thunder]

We at best tend to get like only 1.5k gems per event
Unless it's BV

[rain canyon]

Yrah i am not liking where dena is going

[ashen thunder]

[sweet tide]

i hated that event

[icy marsh]

Same

Timelocked is meh

[hard wave]

I wanted to get brendos back in march but wasnt able to unfortunately

[rain canyon]

No one liked the o'd sc events

[sweet tide]

the highest is 4k

[icy marsh]

I'm glad they didn't timelock it when it reran

[sweet tide]

we are going back to 2021 levels of gem count

[rain canyon]

yeahhh

[icy marsh]

Riddles were okayish

[vestal leaf]

2021 was 20-22 tops

Iirc

[rain canyon]

they realized people easily pitied thanks to the bundles so they lowered gem counts

[sweet tide]

oct21 was 18k
oct22 was 24k

[vestal leaf]

Yeah I mean

[sweet tide]

so probably somewhere in btwn

bc we get 3k from the 4th anni rally

[vestal leaf]

I'm expecting 22-24k this month

[languid quail]

Pls no

[hard wave]

Tbh I think the problem is that nothing is spaced out, all the VA and NC stuff was first week that left palmer/argenta and the reruns for the latter half

[icy marsh]

I dont even think thats why tbh

[sweet tide]

this anni was so boring

[hard wave]

So the rally is going to decrease the gem count?

[sweet tide]

boring is an understatement even

[icy marsh]

They can easily bait people into using their paids from bundles if they didn't just screw us on the amount of selects we get

[hard wave]

Agreed, I couldnt wait for it to be over

[sweet tide]

no it will increase the gem count but the raw gem count is probably below 20k

[icy marsh]

Tbf post anni is always a bad month for gems

[hard wave]

Yeah I mean any new gems we get would be less

[sturdy flower]

anni was a bad month too

[unkempt vortex]

Bad gem count?

[rain canyon]

yeah i agree

3rd was fun

2nd was fine

This one ? I felt no enjoyment

[oak crest]

they should have separated the EBE into 3 different parts

1 for NC red, 1 for NC leaf, 1 for NC blue

like what they do for past annis

[sweet tide]

it was so snooze i felt like a robot

[sweet tide]

they were being so stingy this anni i have no idea why but the revenue is the lowest so i guess deserved oops

[oak crest]

they did piss off players on the previous month alrd

[unkempt vortex]

Payback for the Twitter rally failing

[oak crest]

with their shitty ass RT events...

[sweet tide]

the twitter rally was a joke they rly expected ppl to do like 20k RT on champion spirits???? lol

[oak crest]

yeah

[sweet tide]

dont make me laugh

[rain canyon]

you know

[icy marsh]

Because this anni was made just for me duh

[oak crest]

the current 1 was a shock tho

they hit 15k within 1 day

wtf

[rain canyon]

THE STUFF YOU CAN'T EVEN GET RID OFF IF YOU WANTED

[sweet tide]

bc they put roll cake coins inside

[tardy fiber]

Cake coins rally are fast

[sweet tide]

and ppl are desperate for that now

[hard wave]

Prob cuz cake coins tbh

[sweet tide]

if they put candy coins? they gonna take 5 days lol

[oak crest]

1 set... just mean 5 days less

[rain canyon]

what rally

[oak crest]

if it was actual cakes wows

but nah

[sweet tide]

i wish they put sprint and field coins into BP rewards pls do away with the sync orbs at 200 and 800

[oak crest]

coins

[rain canyon]

Was there a rally with cake coins ?

[hard wave]

Yeah

[oak crest]

yeah

rally over tbh

alrd hit 15k

[hard wave]

The welcome akari and rei social rally

[oak crest]

that is the max target

[sweet tide]

yeah its done alr rewards given on 7 oct iirc

[icy marsh]

We already beat the rally

[rain canyon]

And no gems ?

[icy marsh]

Day 1

[oak crest]

0

[hard wave]

Nope

[rain canyon]

Nruh

[hard wave]

Its better than the galar ones atleast

[sweet tide]

gems dont exist in rallies anymore

[hard wave]

[oak crest]

yeah

galar is dogshit

[hard wave]

Its basically 3 , 50 and 1 cake coin of each role

I think the problem with anni was that there was too many banners, esp the rocket exec one, literally no extra gems from rallies, just 1 gem rally thats being given out in 2 days and the gemless team rocket rally and the gem count was alr low right after low anni run up w the worst rallies ever

I mean obv most wont pull for everything but the gem count couldve still been higher

[sweet tide]

they were being so damn weird

with the whole

run up and anni

[languid quail]

They didn't give us enough gems. Rallies were items instead of gems. They getting very stingy with it.

[sweet tide]

also the scaling for the power ups exchange for the skill gears is so awful

[oak crest]

they deleted bonanza event too

[sweet tide]

given that its a monthly exchange

its 5 yrs in the making and this game still cant scale for nuts

[oak crest]

the entire event just straight up evaporated

[sweet tide]

jesus

[hard wave]

Yeah, rally as well

[sweet tide]

yeah 3 mths without bonanza

[hard wave]

Grinding skill spheres is such a pain

[sweet tide]

tho have to wait for pastebin to confirm but i dont see the banner lol

[hard wave]

They also didnt have those special battles for the kanto NCs

They had them for galar and kalos NCs tho

Sucks bcz the weaknesses they have in them r the weaknesses for their special CS

Also EBE being 1 instead of 3

[crisp oracle]

All three gimmicks was a pain

[hard wave]

Yeah I think they wouldnt have been that hard if they split them up

[unkempt vortex]

Money

[oak crest]

definitely

[hard wave]

What did they have for each of them again? Ik the toxic was for nc blue, they all apply rebuff, and the weaknesses ofc

I think they had some passives based on raised stats too

[oak crest]

wasnt toxic for NC leaf

since her buddy move gives sunny day

and the team are immune to all status when sunny day is in eff

[hard wave]

Sunny day heals toxic?

[oak crest]

due to her passive

immunity

[unkempt vortex]

Wasn’t there something for reduced damage in field effect

[hard wave]

Oh idk, I thought blue healed w his b move

[unkempt vortex]

Specifically for the rats

[hard wave]

Yeah

[unkempt vortex]

Blue does heal with b move

[hard wave]

It was just too many niche stuff for a roster carried by 2 units, and then they tried to do stuff purely to nerf them

[oak crest]

should have separated but dena too stingy to part with 1.2k more gems

[crisp oracle]

I think they replaced it with Special CS

Honestly I don't mind

[hard wave]

Hmm possibly, but now we wont know what type leaf and blue will be or any other future NCs

Calem should be bug and bede should be ghost tho

[crisp oracle]

Rock or Electric

For the two

[hard wave]

Or water

Its weird, red marnie and serena used a dif weakness while calem bede and hop had the same one

[rigid oar]

||I am tempted to get shiny greninja but I want to save gems too||

[unkempt vortex]

He’s a bad support

[hard wave]

|| u can wait for datamine for november if u want, he comes on masters day ||

[rare swan]

there is discouraging spending and there is outright lying, come on

[oak crest]

tbh, good or bad can be one's opinion though

[languid quail]

Can't tank like others 👀

[oak crest]

maybe he's bad to someone cos they dont like his kit or what he offers

[rare swan]

when it comes to how good a pair is we can certainly be objective to a point

you won't catch me calling base Valerie good no matter how much I like her

[oak crest]

also Cheren

[tardy fiber]

Valerie worse than Wulfric?

[rigid oar]

yeah I think thats the best thing I am not really tempted by other units lol

[crisp oracle]

Don't pull on a unit just because they are stacked

Pull on a unit cuz you like the character

[tardy fiber]

@rare swan Clemont got power boost treatment

[rigid oar]

But what if I like the chracter if it is stacked

[rare swan]

HE SURE DID

[sand crown]

Is it a good boost for him? I’ve always lowkey liked using him

[rare swan]

I personally like it

[grim plover]

now i have to resit 2 varieties

[sand crown]

He needed self-crit buff and is it greedy to ask for a multiplier

[sturdy flower]

yoo, easier solo LG

[crisp oracle]

Giovanni Lodge is a W tbh. Pretty much free Holo Foil and rainbow frame for everyone

[vestal leaf]

I still snoozed more last year tbh

At least this September had shit events every 2 days

[sand crown]

No anni has felt hyped for me since the 2nd one

[unkempt vortex]

Nah it was more like every week

[vestal leaf]

Vs big and long shit events at end of August and then nothing til SC rosa at half month

It felt worse to me

[vestal leaf]

Yeah second Anni was the only good Anni

Imo

[tardy fiber]

Same, last year is a skip for me well i did get scrosa

[rain canyon]

i think the reason is because 2nd and 2.5 has great and 'ew seasonals

in term lf designs

[tardy fiber]

Having a blast this anni

4 faves

[rain canyon]

3rd is your average ss

[tardy fiber]

+2 bp

[rain canyon]

4th is just NC

Dena just fucking gave up on the anni seasonal concept

[oak crest]

got lazy

[rain canyon]

i was hyped when i saw bluedos's outfit

[oak crest]

(like how they did variety - lazy)

[rain canyon]

Then i saw the rest of the nc

[vestal leaf]

I don't mind red

[rain canyon]

and i was: Oh... Boring...

[vestal leaf]

Blue is cool

Leaf is

Zzzzzz

[oak crest]

im neutral on their costumes lol

[vestal leaf]

Leaf is how grandmas dress to go to funerals where I live

So yeah

[oak crest]

but using NC for anni is pretty lazy

[vestal leaf]

Lol

[oak crest]

when they alrd used Galar NC for half anni

[grim plover]

i like red but i know that it was too much another ani alt that soon

[sand crown]

This 100%

[unkempt vortex]

Yea let’s not act like this is the first time they used nc for a big thing

[oak crest]

im not surprised if the next half anni is NC again

[grim plover]

but blue deserved his costume

[vestal leaf]

I found rat dupes + Lucario dupe way lazier tbfh

[sand crown]

I’m a softie for Kanto and all but yeah

[tardy fiber]

Galar birbs

[oak crest]

ugh

rats

[vestal leaf]

Goddamn it was cringe

[oak crest]

[unkempt vortex]

That’s what I meant

[oak crest]

i hate that yellow rat

[vestal leaf]

Rat + Rat + Lucario was the epitome of "what I don't wanna see on big months"

[sand crown]

I’m glad Leaf got some love at least

[tardy fiber]

Im glad i skipped the rats

[oak crest]

i skipped the rats, and will still skip em again

[tardy fiber]

I know i wont be happy to play using the rats unless its free even though they deal 999,999 damage

[unkempt vortex]

Now leaf can go back to her prison cell

[grim plover]

if only the pikas had their hats...

[vestal leaf]

I got red because he's funny to use

[oak crest]

free is always welcomed as long as my gems remain intact

[tardy fiber]

I was awarded with my patience with fave tapu koko

[grim plover]

and i cant belive gio got in the lodge before red

[oak crest]

im still looking for a new shiny elec unit til date

nth caught my eye yet

[crisp oracle]

I was awarded for my patience with SS Hilda

[oak crest]

[unkempt vortex]

It’s punishment time

[tardy fiber]

They should just made his various "humph" sounds to signify agreement, enjoyment or disagreement

[oak crest]

(im not counting NC blue as he's support)

[crisp oracle]

@tardy fiber you have SS Hilda and SS Hilbert, do you enjoy using them

[unkempt vortex]

They’re both fun

[tardy fiber]

Yes

[unkempt vortex]

SS hilbert can be slow at times but hits like a truck

[oak crest]

o they are good to use

[tardy fiber]

Although i will love sshilda better if she's 3/5

[unkempt vortex]

I have her 3/5

[crisp oracle]

||I might just drop a pity on that banner||

It looks that good

[tardy fiber]

But there's always new striker faves that need the coin more than her

So she stays 1/5

[oak crest]

for SSHilbert I always set him up in a way that he will KO the left side for a turn denial in case I mess up my quad queue

[vestal leaf]

If you lack them yea

[unkempt vortex]

I just wish there were more sp def debuffers besides him and Lucian

[tardy fiber]

Scrosa is a good spdef debuffer

[unkempt vortex]

I do have her now

[vestal leaf]

My 5/5 sc jasmine:

[tardy fiber]

Man, i will be able to form another tech candy soon with no tech faves to use it on ...hope a tech fave will appear later

[vestal leaf]

[mossy hawk]

As happy as I am that Hoenn got both Halloween alts(both top tier design wise imo), I don't have the gems for both

[unkempt vortex]

I have sc jasmine too

[vestal leaf]

I have... uhhhhh

Too many 1/5 techs

[unkempt vortex]

So setup with hilbert isn’t a problem

[vestal leaf]

Last year I had 5

This year 16...

[tardy fiber]

Wow

[unkempt vortex]

I have 2 tech candies and 2 gold

It’s either going to sc rosa or SS hilbert

[tardy fiber]

I already used my golds, it will be harsh if any field or sprint fave appear later

[vestal leaf]

I have 5 Omni candies and 5 tech candies, but still..m

[tardy fiber]

Yep aiming to 3/5 if you have many faves is hard, that's why i use selects to minimise the gap.

[unkempt vortex]

About the same as mine

[vestal leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-the-misery-oh-the-misery-everybody-wants-to-be-my-enemy-gif-25368312

[vestal leaf]

That's nothing tho

[tardy fiber]

I think i will 2/5 most faves first than making 1 of em 3/5, it will be easier if selects appear and have your faves in it

[crisp oracle]

Do SS Diantha. No bias

[vestal leaf]

5 is how many I had a year ago

[unkempt vortex]

Diantha

[vestal leaf]

Nah she's perfectly fine 1/5

[crisp oracle]

Her grid is solid if you get around to it

[vestal leaf]

I know but she doesn't need it

[stray steeple]

3/5 SS Hilbert

[crisp oracle]

Fair

Most stages will be dead before she needs two zones

[unkempt vortex]

I’ll wait until nc unova

[vestal leaf]

So December

[stray steeple]

He's really good. Covers 5 types, self sufficient, can debuff spdef quickly

[vestal leaf]

Good luck

[stray steeple]

Setup takes a lot of turns tho

[crisp oracle]

How do these skills work

[unkempt vortex]

It won’t be December

[crisp oracle]

These new skill gears

Is it random

[unkempt vortex]

I have 3/5 sc jasmine

Who does everything he wants except seun

[tardy fiber]

I hope the new feather training area doesnt have entry limit, i almost finished with maxing theme skills so feather area seems like a nice spot if i need to burn stamina

[vestal leaf]

• get gear
• farm consumable feathers
• roll RNG for stats and passives
• roll for theme skills
• pray you get good combos
• dump them all because 90% of scenarios they're worse than 3* type gear

[crisp oracle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/762133212247883847/1156558082692886648/Screenshot_20230927_101336_com.dena.a12026418.jpg?ex=65156826&is=651416a6&hm=17e39c61f5e75de4a5ce1b0d0d1c6c15b7093c4a451ef1f69e5c3ae1c1023004&

[unkempt vortex]

Would you like an extra 1% while in a field effect

[crisp oracle]

So is the goal to like get one for each type

One good one

[mossy hawk]

Hard to say for now

But 1 gear could be rolled for 3 types

[vestal leaf]

The goal is getting good stats on a common theme so you can use it on more than one pair

If you roll good passives, that's all extra value

[tardy fiber]

Get the red texts passives, i think thats the max value

[unkempt vortex]

Oh also

[crisp oracle]

Bro regular gear is better than this shit

[unkempt vortex]

They’re continuing the shit naming convention

[mossy hawk]

Stats can be rolled for hifher than regular 3 star gear

[unkempt vortex]

It’s so bad now

[mossy hawk]

100 HP, or 80 atk stats

[vestal leaf]

The issue is, all of these here will not work altogether on a team because too many different themes

[crisp oracle]

What is this, Build-A-Bear but for gear

[oak crest]

[unkempt vortex]

So many games have a better gear and reroll system than this

[vestal leaf]

Thank god it sucks

[crisp oracle]

I already don't like the way this is going

[vestal leaf]

If it was actually worth it

It would be hell

[tardy fiber]

Thats why i want to focus on making certain types first...i gonna do normal type gear first so gonna reroll till i get normal related stuffs and normal type theme then lock...well normal, because they could use the help as they lack type advantage

[vestal leaf]

We can just pretend it's not even a feature for now

Hopefully they forget too

Like coop

[unkempt vortex]

You mean like the friend system

[vestal leaf]

That too

[unkempt vortex]

TRUE

[crisp oracle]

It is just like Build-A-Bear. Really nice cover but cheap filling inside

[latent salmon]

wait there's a friend system?

[crisp oracle]

Yes

[vestal leaf]

[lost bobcat]

90% scenario worse than 3* Gear?
Bruh you can get 3 type coverages, 3 stats and 3 passives
The hell are you saying
I think just a lot of misinformation is running here

[unkempt vortex]

It’s useless

Can’t even invite someone to a coop room

[latent salmon]

i have literally never heard of that

[vestal leaf]

Ok, but you'll need a ton of luck to RNG yourself a triple gear combo that works on your whole team

[latent salmon]

its very RNG

[vestal leaf]

With actually useful passives

That still cap at +3% in most cases

[crisp oracle]

3%?

That's it?

[tardy fiber]

Use this to lock your desired stats but its hella expensive, thats why i just gonna take it slow

[latent salmon]

in terms of investment, it's better to get 3* type gear first then start working on skill right?

[vestal leaf]

Most of the highest skills cap at 3-5%

[latent salmon]

this is how i do it with other gacha games with similar-ish systems to varying success

[unkempt vortex]

That’s nothing at all

[vestal leaf]

This.

Have fun RNG rolling without spending 20 on these

[latent salmon]

then again, you can completely ignore gear

[unkempt vortex]

If it was something significant like maybe 20-30% then yes

[vestal leaf]

It's something, but not enough to justify the rng

Which is fine by me

[crisp oracle]

Gear is so much safer of a time investment

[vestal leaf]

Because if it was actually high

[crisp oracle]

Also Gear raises base stats

[vestal leaf]

The luck of rolling 3 gears and getting unlucky would be hell

[crisp oracle]

Which is better than raising move strength by 2%

[latent salmon]

in PoMa 1-5% is basically nothing right?

[unkempt vortex]

Yes

[latent salmon]

yeah, im used to pvp games when i got burnt out so it's gonna take a while to go "I DO NOT NEED TO MINMAX" again

[unkempt vortex]

The question is will we reach feh levels of text

Where it’s literally a tcg

[latent salmon]

but usually, unless you're ungodly lucky (you are NOT.), skill gear is not a better investment if you dont have 3* type gear

[vestal leaf]

Buddy moves be like

[vestal leaf]

This.

[latent salmon]

considering how miniscule the amount is

in other gacha, 1% is big

this is not other gacha.

[vestal leaf]

Because a guaranteed stat all for 3 units is better than a RNG fest to get a gear to work better than type on 2 units out of 3

[crisp oracle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/651487042886172682/1124534116235346040/image.png?ex=6514eb82&is=65139a02&hm=ef40d3ab0b22e5f1d98c13430c328547ef98152957a8b940517041f728bf67ed&

We're already there

[vestal leaf]

Yeah the difference is how Poma handles passive, damage and stacking

[upbeat lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/ken-jeong-community-too-small-to-read-read-reading-gif-5494204

[tardy fiber]

It will be something if you got the same option at all 3 gears...so 5% becomes 15%

[unkempt vortex]

Potato quality

[maiden kayak]

what is s move p move?

[crisp oracle]

Sync Move, Pokemon Move

[vestal leaf]

3+3+3% on your striker will be diluted to hell and back

[latent salmon]

dilution my behated

[crisp oracle]

Just run type gear at that point

[vestal leaf]

5% seems to be only on extremely niche stuff like "hit flinching opp" or "freezed opponent"

[tardy fiber]

Sync move and attack move iirc

[latent salmon]

it will be diluted right?

[vestal leaf]

So in most cases you're running 3% skillsets

[lost bobcat]

We barely got nothing but bronze feathers to use on them
It's just like a new player blaming the game bcs 3* gears takes ages and bcs of that for them are useless
Give it time
We seen already +100 atk as stat, 5% dmg reduction or increase in some situations
I got one that gives +7% sync dmg for crit under dragon zone
And those can be stacked once we got resources
As I said we have no idea how resources will be managed and how frequently they'll drop those items

[vestal leaf]

I actually am happy as hell they seem to be meh tho

[lost bobcat]

Replying abt that

[latent salmon]

5%
5% of 5%
5% of 5% of 5%

thats how itll work if you do 5-5-5 right? idk how poma does the calculations, im used to hi3

[vestal leaf]

Because imagine getting 50 feathers and not a single good combo

Vs a good combo in 5

[tardy fiber]

Nope it will be the same like pairs that have cs2 passive and you give cs2 lucky skill on top, it will be cs4

[crisp oracle]

How useful is that 7% under dragon zone if you don't have Lucas

[vestal leaf]

You're now extremely behind

And then you're getting systematically unlucky

[latent salmon]

oh, my bad, im used to hi3 system where it goes like that

[lost bobcat]

Just like pulling anything
Deluxe cookies for the first LGs were that way

[tardy fiber]

But it seems like a long game, so we shouldn't be too serious with this skill gear

[vestal leaf]

Yeah but deluxe cookies added to an already existing mechanic

And are irrelevant

[tardy fiber]

Not like there's a content that need highly invested skill gear

[latent salmon]

i'd say go type gear first so you have a solid foundation, THEN skill gear

[lost bobcat]

We got few, LG was new and undiscovered, hogh streaks barely surpassed 20

[lost bobcat]

Exactly, btw you can do both

[vestal leaf]

LG is still widely considered a failed mode for that very reason

In fact

[latent salmon]

if you have level 15 type gears, skill gear is fine to invest in. please for the love of god don't invest in skill gear without being ready for disappointment + having a foundation

[lost bobcat]

In fact ppl are not farming cookies in LG i guess

[vestal leaf]

But for anyone not lucky with skill gear this addiction will be just trash

[tardy fiber]

I like LG more than high score, high score give less move coins and limits us to only certain type, well you can use other type but you lose multipliers

[unkempt vortex]

Skill gear skill issue

[vestal leaf]

Just like most players barely touch deluxe cookies because they're unnecessary

Why need HS1 or WW3 when I can just cs2 and dc2/vigilance on everything

[crisp oracle]

Hey guys, I'm currently trying to describe SS N to someone. How would you describe him

[latent salmon]

N takes another legendary

[sand crown]

Weird

[tardy fiber]

Free gauge after the first freeze shock

[lost bobcat]

Why you need to roll to cs2 if you can get cs1

[vestal leaf]

A cannon with a reload mechanic

[tardy fiber]

Just tm > freeze shock > freeze shock > buddy move > freeze shock and repeats

[crisp oracle]

B Noble Roar spam

[grand bramble]

I just scrolling through... And I just realised that the blissful bonanza and the special rally are gone????

[tardy fiber]

Zero gauge after the first cast

[vestal leaf]

True, but cs2 and cs1 cookies launched together and cookies RNG is dumbed down to oblivion, without counting how you can farm them on villa monthly for basically free

Skill gear is a stat, theme and passive roll
Vs
A single ability roll for cookies

[lost bobcat]

And if the 10% from cs1 to cs2 is barely anything just don't roll ls
I think you're kinda too much negative about a lot of stuff
If you don't want or don't like something doesn't mean it's worthless

[grand bramble]

Is the battle villa still alive?

[vestal leaf]

It's the opposite of what I'm saying

If the skill gear is not worthless

It'll hurt the game more than help it

[latent salmon]

i dont know if 10% is huge in poma but

[sand crown]

It’s zombie content at this point. At least it’s one that gives us gems

[lost bobcat]

But you do bother to reroll CS2 if you get CS1?

[latent salmon]

ls is simpler. just get cookies from battle villa and see if you get CS2.

[lost bobcat]

I think most does

[grand bramble]

Oh... It's still there... But I heard you guys mention about the both stuff that was always there

[sand crown]

Once you start farming in other modes, sure

[vestal leaf]

I don't get cs1 because gold cookies were widely accessible and farmable and didn't need to roll 2 extra causals for it to outdamage cs1

[grand bramble]

Blissful bonanza and special rally where u get 1k gems

[vestal leaf]

It's not the same thing lol

[latent salmon]

CS1 -> CS2, direct upgrade.

Type Gear -> Actually good Skill Gear, direct upgrade.

i can see why you'd compare, but the difference is skill gear is more RNG heavy

[tardy fiber]

I still need to hunt sentry entry 2 for my Dana, thank DeNa for Gauntlet next month

[latent salmon]

skill gear just has more components.

[lost bobcat]

Then this is about resources and not effectiveness of the thing, as I said
Give time, no point in telling 90% of stuff is trash

[vestal leaf]

The idea itself is trash

[latent salmon]

ah wait idk what we're talking about atp

[vestal leaf]

Idk if it's mechanically worth it

[sand crown]

It’s unnecessary. Dare I say much of the new stuff, including the cakes fall into that category

[vestal leaf]

The implied RNG factor is shit and cringe

Idc*

[latent salmon]

skill gear is trash? because skill gear is i guess a super RNG based upgrade. i would prefer they complete type gear first.

[vestal leaf]

^

[sand crown]

It’s a way for tempt users into spending resources that they shouldn’t

[latent salmon]

the thing is, skill gear is just too new for these types of discussion i think.

[vestal leaf]

It feels rushed, unneeded, overly complex and ultimately, just a reason to kill other modes in its favour

[latent salmon]

we don't have much info on how many skill gear resources we will get yet right?

[lost bobcat]

Being trash doesn't mean you can tell others is worthless

[vestal leaf]

Aside the whole "just get lucky 4head" factor

[sand crown]

No but based on other new things I expect this to be very dry at least at the start

[vestal leaf]

As of the moment, it's not worth the investment at all

[latent salmon]

if it's low, complain that's actually fucking shitty. if it's high, it sucks but at least it's a lil less sucky

just wait a bit

[tardy fiber]

I dont mind cakes, need almost same time to form 1 like move candy and each pair only need 1 cake while move candies need at max 4 candies from 1/5

[latent salmon]

id say two or so months

[grand bramble]

Am I hearing the gems count is gonna be under 20k???

[vestal leaf]

It's objectively true that most skill gear combos are worse than type ones

[tardy fiber]

And i can form 2 cakes next month woohoo

[latent salmon]

if its still low after two or so months, it's literally not worth it. its NOT worth it.

[lost bobcat]

We have literally NO idea, and yet I can clearly see ppl telling about how trash, useless and probably unsustainable that is
As I said early, just give it time, no need to be negative

[vestal leaf]

Because they won't work on your whole team

So I stand by what I said

[sand crown]

It’s a bonus for whales or those with super faves I guess. But content is perfectly clearable without them

And the same goes for skill gears. I will likely stick to type gear for now
