In early-mid game C.Shiroko is solid blue aoe

[random lake]

shimiko mvp

[copper crescent]

I thought ur like lvl 90

[opaque dagger]

This is my alt

[snow portal]

He's 61

On the alt it seems

[copper crescent]

Ah

Yeah ik 61

[calm stone]

doing 2 account can burn you out quick

[opaque dagger]

Because I realized I'm getting too stronk for the cope farmables video

[calm stone]

imaging doing the dhina even 4 times

[odd geyser]

this is why i slacc

[calm stone]

[copper crescent]

If ur doing 2 acc, do ur main server and jp

Like dajin

[opaque dagger]

Oh 2nd acc is just to set up farmables + Ako video

[calm stone]

global and jp are like 2 different game

[copper crescent]

I see

[opaque dagger]

This acc was meant to have all farmables and Ako at level 75 3* 3444 T4 gear

[calm stone]

you can not count them as 2 account

[snow portal]

No cube, but I am pondering my orb 🔮🧙‍♂️

[copper crescent]

Yeah jp and global are very different

[opaque dagger]

Because I realized my Ako and my Tsubaki getting too stronk for cope video

[random lake]

is noa the only char that has a retention status without it being UE40?

[opaque dagger]

Hey, with this alt I got a banger F49 Chokmah tho

Level 52 Chokmah F49 clear

Straight up not possible without Bike

[calm stone]

speaking of bike why hina sorted higher than bike girl

[copper crescent]

I think noa is yeah

[calm stone]

this bothers me so much

[copper crescent]

Just unpin her

And sort by pin

[snow portal]

How is she so round

[calm stone]

can unpin hina

she a fest

[gleaming wren]

this was so hard

[opaque dagger]

Oh this is no ordinary whel

[random lake]

ball

[opaque dagger]

This is mega kaiju

[calm stone]

literally the same bond

[fleet narwhal]

she will be farmable soon

[random lake]

you'd have to see how they default the sorting after bond

[fleet narwhal]

i feel it in my bones

[calm stone]

did they sorted by atk

[fleet narwhal]

in my brittle bnuuy bones

[opaque dagger]

https://youtu.be/R8qV712_-QM

Involves Bike tanking 3 missiles on 3rd wave, and then needing Yuuka to die to win

[copper crescent]

Holy

[random lake]

yuuka in chokmah

and shimiko

[opaque dagger]

I mean, you're level 52

Wtf choice you have

[random lake]

shimiko is winning

[opaque dagger]

Shimiko is just cover bait for missiles

[snow portal]

Ded

[opaque dagger]

She actually does not block shit

[calm stone]

me? im casul tho i didnt build other students

[opaque dagger]

3 of the 4 specials are below level 10

[random lake]

one can hope

[calm stone]

white?

[snow portal]

Grey

[calm stone]

oh

[calm stone]

really?

still hina before bike

[opaque dagger]

Half of the Strikers are just fireball bait + cost charger

[copper crescent]

This is what an f2p clear looks like

[opaque dagger]

Oh yea, not doable with Kuroko, this one needs Saori Swimsuit for sure

[random lake]

usually in these things they have a priority hierarchy for sorting, unless its totally random (which it isnt). some games use some Stat if whatever you're sorting through is the same, then after the Stat maybe names (alphabetical order) and so on until one can be put over the other

[opaque dagger]

The knowledge needed to pull this off lmao, no real level 52 can do this

[calm stone]

the only thing hina is higher from what i can see tis atk

is atk

[random lake]

they could be sorting through something else. you'd have to ask someone who knows the ins and outs of it

[calm stone]

[gleaming wren]

hello

why are the challenges so easy anyway

more than usual

[copper crescent]

Bc ur fossil

[gleaming wren]

no im pretty sure sarius that happened just now was harder

[copper crescent]

That's true

[gleaming wren]

that's not how u say it

[snow portal]

Because you're just that good at them duh

[midnight river]

Can someone give me a hint? i can't seem to solve "A pile of stones that crawls across the land"

[snow portal]

I mean, you can just hover over the screen until you find the right object

There's only so many

[ripe mason]

Oh I got both first try so I thought only the correct one glows

[summer spire]

Fun challenges

[supple star]

its the floor

[young meadow]

finally got kayoko ue60, yay

[supple star]

[covert spoke]

keep going.

[midnight river]

oh i was doing it on mobile

[polar orbit]

time to prep ue70

[young meadow]

yeah, its sad that nyk is gacha, I'd have farmed her ue60 too if I could

[ashen goblet]

Why is mari ran in yesodo instead of a healer? Def down basic?

[snow portal]

Because Yesod does so much damage bringing a healer is meaningless

[obsidian heath]

in p1 to keep wakamo alive
in p2 to keep mimori alive and for def down

[snow portal]

Shielding works better to resist the chip damage for vunerable units

[ashen goblet]

So you just shield bad armor colored units?

[snow portal]

Exactly

[atomic arrow]

now we get triple fes challenges

[ashen goblet]

Icic

[obsidian heath]

she needs the hp sub

[snow portal]

That too

[obsidian heath]

it's mostly about the hp sub for wakamo

[snow portal]

HP sub so she survives long enough

[obsidian heath]

shielding is a bonus

long enough=first five seconds

[wicked parcel]

What's the event link

[gleaming wren]

soon we will have 6

[supple star]

i didnt askt that, Miyo but would be good to know

[atomic arrow]

#🔰gameplay-help message

[ashen goblet]

Mimori surely is worse than either miyo or bkazusa right?

[obsidian heath]

look at top 3 score jp

[slate sky]

Miyo only better if ue40

[ashen goblet]

Im looking at this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn24klDjcwg

[slate sky]

Otherwise Mimori is better

[obsidian heath]

look at yuzu/plana

top 10 scores, particularly #3

[ashen goblet]

Damn, wildhunt in shambles.

Lol the EX Challenge felt like a mini-raid

But the pinks were able to clear no problem

[full granite]

I'm gonna have to lock in and do this event tomorrow or the day after without dilly dallying

[snow portal]

What's stopping you today?

[full granite]

gotta do sum stuff and friends expect me for pubg

[snow portal]

Maaaaaaan

[atomic arrow]

get your friends to play BA

[polar orbit]

[snow portal]

It's nice you are keeping promises and hanging out with your friends

[snow portal]

Terrible idea

[atomic arrow]

☹️

[bitter tundra]

Unless they re into cute and funny then its all good

[snow portal]

You have to be a certain level of degen to play this game

Minimum level

[atomic arrow]

man...

[bitter tundra]

Well here we are

Just show them the game

[supple star]

my friends think this is a h game

[snow portal]

Ayy lmao

This ain't an H-Game

Brown Dust 2, Snowbreak, Horizon Walker, and Last Origin are H-Games

Or rather

Are standing right before the door

[atomic arrow]

[snow portal]

She's so round

[loud knoll]

As Reisa as it gets without being actual Reisa

[atomic arrow]

uzawa, usuba...

[full granite]

i actually start suffering from success occasionally from too many people wanting my presence in different groups

[snow portal]

Correct

[west perch]

just realised their initials and number of syllables is the exact same

[remote summit]

Huh

[west perch]

ritsu seems stronger tho given ||she can fell a tree with her bare hands??||

[loud knoll]

reisa was never tested for that, probably she can too

[ancient star]

Reisa powers are beyond comprehension

[random lake]

shes like a melon

if it was a girl

[atomic arrow]

she is a melon

[random lake]

melon pan melon san

[summer dew]

theres actually a JP & KR shop near me and i bought some melon bread from it once

its surprisingly good

[random lake]

im jealous

[atomic arrow]

lucky...

[summer dew]

i mean it's just a stereotypical convenience store with all kinds of imported stuff

[atomic arrow]

oh

still lucky

[summer dew]

but the real reason i visit it is because the cup ramen and stuff is pog tier

so much more variety and stuff

and doesnt taste generic shit

[random lake]

the only one i ever found around my area was one with USA products (the ones that dont go against food regulations), got to try some interesting flavours that dont exist here but it was mostly different flavours of snacks. wish i could fine one like that here

there are a few JP snacks here and there but they're fucking expensive for no reason (im talking like 5-10x the price you'd find in japan, so its unlikely its just transport costs)

[summer dew]

yeah al the locally manufactured "similar" products feel like scam

i mean it's a bit pricey compared to what i found the prices would be in japan or korea but whatever sells i guess

[old rose]

holy fuck satsuko actually clears serina

[astral fern]

Welfare vs free

[random lake]

yea but thankfully you can still find fairly priced items in some hypermarkets or so but the selection is much more average. the ones that abuse the most on prices are snacks that are not that common and usually on vending machines trying to sell because from japan

many times the snack is similar to something here and its just the packaging with kanji and kanas that basically sells it for so much more in those vending machines

[summer dew]

ye it be like that

[random lake]

anyone has that tool for calculating bond XP with X amount of gifts?

[old rose]

only 10k, nothing crazy

[simple ravine]

is that collab student why 10k gifts

[random lake]

yes

and shes already B53

[snow portal]

I forgor joe has that too, welp no I have no reason to use midokuni site anymore

[snow portal]

Wow what a bozo

[lilac solar]

[lilac solar]

[random lake]

where do you get these?

[atomic arrow]

paid package, rarely given out

[random lake]

[atomic arrow]

wait

[midnight river]

Something you never use cuz hoarding

[atomic arrow]

that one I haven't seen

[lilac solar]

whel gift

[random lake]

ye, i got some of the red ones from whatever thing it was idk but they gave them for free (a few)

[atomic arrow]

guh

[random lake]

but the purple ones seem to be a reskin

dk their source

[simple ravine]

i think fest registration event gives blue ones

and red ones i got 6 from instagram and 5 from other event

[random lake]

i got the same amount of reds

[quiet raft]

can someone tell me what Fuyu's kit is so I know why's it worth it?

[simple ravine]

yeah everyone got 11

[random lake]

AA DPS iirc

[quiet raft]

internet's garbo

[simple ravine]

fuyu is def shred

[quiet raft]

what does AA mean?

[loud knoll]

def down like s.kanna with blue armor

[midnight river]

I bet @fleet narwhal has more 🦖

[random lake]

Auto Attack

[atomic arrow]

blue armored akane, with aoe atk speed buff on basic

[random lake]

but no

shes DEF shredder apparently

i confused her with Subaru

[fleet narwhal]

in what world do you think i got any purples left lmao

[midnight river]

The gift packeji

[astral fern]

What in ZZZ is this furniture

Also hi denosaur

[fleet narwhal]

people really do think I buy out the whole shop lol

[atomic arrow]

you do?

[fleet narwhal]

not really

[atomic arrow]

are you sure?

[fleet narwhal]

but its funnier if they think I do i suppose

[simple ravine]

denosaur probably has 100 red bouquets

[midnight river]

your just like azure zakura

[summer dew]

i think

[old rose]

you do?

[fleet narwhal]

im f2p, I bought out the whole thing day 1 fr fr

[summer dew]

i think deno actually just buys the monthly and half-monthly pakeji that give daily gem

and that one 8k pakeji

[midnight river]

If you buy out nexon the comany and give yourself packejis for free, is it still considered F2P?

[summer dew]

never forget the 8k

[quiet raft]

so auto attack means her existence by itself is worth it?

[astral fern]

Holy

[simple ravine]

no her existence doesnt matter only her def down

[loud knoll]

Not really, its a support as written on her unit card

[fleet narwhal]

i bought out all the 4.8k too fr fr

[midnight river]

What did you even need the 8k pakeji for? did you roll without spark? lol

[random lake]

@mint sapphire shouldnt Shiny Bouquet be Loved Face for everyone like other bouquets have but weaker? iirc they're also loved by Collab units but it shows as if it was the lowest tier of purple (Normal, which doesnt exist for purples)

[fleet narwhal]

I buy packagies just cause, they exist just so I f2p can get them

[summer dew]

what in the :FlamingPrehistoricTRex: emote is that one

[mint sapphire]

rah did they break again

[midnight river]

This should be pinned fr fr

[midnight river]

Just wanted 8k more pyro when you already have monthly?

How do you think us F2P feel 😔

[snow portal]

I blew all my roses on SMeeka

[random lake]

i have Misaki collab selected if that helps debug

[snow portal]

Worth? Maybe

[fleet narwhal]

look at my name, stop appropriating my culture

[random lake]

mikaspider

[midnight river]

[astral fern]

Yours only?

[atomic arrow]

so you're not f2p...

[astral fern]

I'm more f2p than you

[sly ice]

AYO

[fleet narwhal]

mine only cuz you all are kaijus here

[atomic arrow]

deno, I trusted you ☹️

[quiet raft]

f2p?

[fleet narwhal]

nah 4.8k is free

[atomic arrow]

⁉️

[quiet raft]

[astral fern]

Deno works in Nexon

He is as f2p as he lies

[echo oar]

holy cow ritsu's got such a cute voice

I like how it goes so high in her shop voiceline

[astral fern]

[echo oar]

wait, not the shop, the achievements page

[true shale]

These bouquets are weaker than the other kind, I presume because they are given out often for free.

[gleaming wren]

can someone send me the pepesmh gif

[astral fern]

Oh

Gif

[gleaming wren]

the gif

[true shale]

I think they actually have SR-level worth, the same as the anniversary/Miku tickets

[gleaming wren]

thanks hobojoe

you have the best legs

[midnight river]

Its not my legs tho

😔

[gleaming wren]

i don't care

[midnight river]

@astral fern

[true shale]

I think it's intentional, anyway.

[random lake]

keeping a 30 Nexon in my pocket as a memento

[true shale]

I think the red flowers were given out as part of a compensation somewhere

[midnight river]

whats that?

[random lake]

its Shiny Bouquet reskin

[sly ice]

The John

[true shale]

We don't normally get those without paying irl money, I've held onto them as a memento too, for now.

[random lake]

it was given out when nexon made 30 years i assume

i dont remember when that was

[mint sapphire]

me with the purple bouquets

[midnight river]

I don't remeber getting those

[true shale]

The ticket wasn't too long ago

Within the last year, I think?

[mint sapphire]

u cant get purple bouquets even if you spend money

[true shale]

Haha, you're the opposite, is it?

That's a funny perspective. That never occurred to me.

[mint sapphire]

no really

the purple bouquets were blu-ray exclusive

[true shale]

Oh wait, Purple, not blue. I see.

[mint sapphire]

should be fixed

[true shale]

Can the blue ones be bought in a packeji?

[mint sapphire]

there are blue bouquets??

oh the ones i just fixed?

[true shale]

The cheap ones we were just discussing

Yeah

[mint sapphire]

i think at some point some pakeji had them

but nowadays it's usually just the red bouquets

[simple ravine]

fest login event has blue ones i think

[true shale]

Okay, so it also could be the case that blue appears rarer than red for a player who spends enough money.

[copper surge]

red flowers are p2w
blue flowers are f2p

[random lake]

now it properly shows the icon and has a higher value but i think the regular purple gifts and loved purple gift XP amounts are swapped (i had noticed regular ones gave 120 XP before the patch you just did but thought it was normal)

[midnight river]

They gave out red flowers before

proof is that i have them

[loud knoll]

pc exclusive gift pack has 5 blue 5 red

[midnight river]

unless i'm color blind

[true shale]

Yeah

Compensation or something

Exactly 12, if my memory is correct, because I think I've never spent any.

Idr if it was all at once or over a few separate instances.

The rate of them giving out the blue ones is probably two or three per year?

I typically give one to my favourite student on her birthday, and then once again on my birthday!

[mint sapphire]

their EXP value is 20

and that's what schaledb shows too

[random lake]

so its a fake purple gift?

[mint sapphire]

or schaledb data error

[echo oar]

just below?

20 exp might be crafting value or something

[true shale]

The blue has always been worth less than the red, for as long as I can remember anyway

[random lake]

no the thing is it should be higher

[echo oar]

ohhhh, I should have read up further

[mint sapphire]

i mean we can test it

[pale fractal]

schale aint wront, it does give 60 bond xp

[loud knoll]

All yellow gifts have exp value 20 whatever it is

[random lake]

20 XP is what worst mood Yellow gift gives

so if it truly is 20 XP then its a Yellow gift disguised as purple (that gives 60 XP cuz always Loved mood)

[true shale]

I think it is

[mint sapphire]

or at least i would test it if the game didnt crash

[true shale]

We could say it's purple because it's "XD" for every student

I don't think it's a mistake anyway

[mint sapphire]

nvm i cant test it because i dont have a bouquet

[echo oar]

the game doesn't let you give more gifts past a bond up, right?

I could test it tomorrow, inviting one of my b6 girls or something

[pale fractal]

it is 60xp

[true shale]

This is true, it's actually this that first made me notice that the bouquets had different values

[loud knoll]

always have been, just like nexon card

[true shale]

I was using the red one as a measuring stick for redeeming yellow gift selectors

[echo oar]

wait yeah, I can kinda confirm this now

[loud knoll]

its 20 base (would be 20 to non-existing neutral student) but loved by everyone, so actually 60

[mint sapphire]

fake purple gift smh

[random lake]

after all this time its a fake purple

biggest rug pull

[pale fractal]

its same as nexon 30 tickets, theyre also 60

[true shale]

What even is the criteria for a gift being purple in the first place?

[echo oar]

buh

[mint sapphire]

and i guess the irl collab tickets too

[true shale]

Maybe the community criteria is wrong

[mint sapphire]

it's tagged as SSR internally

[true shale]

As in, who's to say that the purple background was intrinsically connected to the SSR category?

[mint sapphire]

nexon

[true shale]

It could be a highly coincidental correlation that works 99% of the time

[mint sapphire]

i wont go into it more since it would go into datamine territory

[random lake]

id assume it was that their base XP was 60? or whatever it is for worst mood; like ever other purple gift (but all of them are buffed to 120 cuz mood is always the open mouth one) then 180 for loved; 240 for the max

[true shale]

Whereas the actual answer is probably "we just wrote whatever number into this field that looks nice"

[random lake]

by that logic every gift should have their own value

XP salad

[mint sapphire]

every gift has a base exp value and a tag that's either SSR or SR

[random lake]

gl gamers - nexon

[mint sapphire]

they do as a matter of fact

the exp value isn't determined by the rarity

[random lake]

yea ik

but im saying like

[true shale]

I'm just teasing you guys

[random lake]

distinct values, just messing

[true shale]

The point still stands nonetheless

[mint sapphire]

gift with 69 exp

[random lake]

1 xp purple gift

[true shale]

I'd expect most things on the backend are done this way, with completely independent stats.

[random lake]

it gives more versatility for sure

the problem is that if the UI doesnt show anything related to it, players will misunderstand

[scarlet zealot]

is it 19 days until the next new content now?

what's the next one

also 20 day event 💀

[random lake]

magical girls i think

[true shale]

This event is 3 weeks long.
In the middle of the event we'll also have a Total Assault season, though, if that's what you mean?

ie: Starting next week

[scarlet zealot]

when does vol 6 chapter 2 fit in

[random lake]

after magical girls maybe

subaru comes then

[true shale]

Oh, uh... Idk, let me check

[random lake]

so id assume that to be the case

[mint sapphire]

not confirmed yet, just speculation, but there's probably gonna be a dead week in-between this event and magical girls

[true shale]

Did we just get a week of acceleration just then?

[loud knoll]

its 3rd part with subaru banner, 2nd should be in 2 or 3 weeks

[random lake]

wouldnt they cut that out to shorten the gap?

we still havent reached 3 month gap

[pale fractal]

jp had it at ritsu banner

[mint sapphire]

current speculation is that they won't because we wouldn't have had a dead week in terms of raid/JFD content otherwise

[random lake]

i c

[true shale]

They don't seem to be cutting out every dead week, this time around

[proven dove]

I want a slower pace x_x

[true shale]

It's one in every few

[scarlet zealot]

epic

[last ermine]

Happy miyo release date. What a glorious day

[scarlet zealot]

3 week event is pretty long

[mint sapphire]

nothing glorious about me being forced to do 340 pulls

[last ermine]

Ouchie

[scarlet zealot]

I wish there was more content in the events; i.e. the afterword stories

only one that had that recently was antique seraphim

[random lake]

its been going pretty slow, pretty sure acceleration started a year ago

[proven dove]

We'll have 2x normals next week, and 2x hards in ritsu's week

[mint sapphire]

likely because they didn't want to release 3 new banners at the same time

[scarlet zealot]

well and the other ones

[scarlet zealot]

that's true but normally it's like 7 days and 7 days

[proven dove]

I'm still salty about the ritsu banner (I like her though)

[true shale]

I don't see any Main Story news in the latest patch notes, so it will be 2 weeks away at minimum.

[proven dove]

It's not optimal for raid preparation.

[true shale]

It's slower than before, but still fast enough that I can feel the effects.

[mint sapphire]

better than no foresight :^)

[random lake]

btw whats the current gap rn?

[proven dove]

In jp arius chap 2 was released in ritsu's week (gotta fill it up with something)

[proven dove]

Yeah gotta be grateful

[supple star]

4 months

[mint sapphire]

i always find it funny when people ask that we catch up to JP fully

like you clearly aren't seriously preparing for raids

[true shale]

I'm expecting this too tbh, but during acceleration I like to leave the door open to us getting things early on occasion

[mint sapphire]

to be saying that

[pallid inlet]

I wonder if they’re out of their minds

[summer dew]

i'd like that and yes im out of my mind

[loud knoll]

aint it intended way to play?

[mint sapphire]

do keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of people play BA because of the characters, not the gameplay

[scarlet zealot]

I'm not

[pallid inlet]

[sly ice]

Ayo fellas, guess what?

[random lake]

i find a 3 month gap to be the perfect amount. not so far it takes a whole half a year to get the new units we see in JP but enough foresight to get the desired units for a raid and prepare for wahts coming

[copper crescent]

140 days

[polar orbit]

19 weeks

[pallid inlet]

You built umika

[sly ice]

I am now only missing one non-limited student...

[polar orbit]

still basically 5 months

[true shale]

[random lake]

damn

[supple star]

I like to think is still 4 months

[pallid inlet]

I hope you get lucky and spook nihaha

[mint sapphire]

right now on JP what people do is see if the new unit does anything special and pull if it's sus enough that they'll be used in some future raid content

[sly ice]

Thank you gang

[mint sapphire]

or just skip and cope

[copper crescent]

140 days is 4.6 months

Yeah that's what Dajin have been doing

[random lake]

or when you spot a pattern of repeated kits

[proven dove]

I know, sometimes I'm filled with mean words towards the casuals but with some breathing I go back to fine. As long as they enjoy the game :3

[copper crescent]

I think they realized that since the sfubuki incident

[pale fractal]

im sure imari skippers sure were happy in jp (just another kok)

[random lake]

you know something is up when 3 unit that focus on the same thing show up

[copper crescent]

Aka ritsu miyo

[random lake]

yes

[mint sapphire]

and then neither ritsu, nor miyo are used much

[copper crescent]

No joe

Remember sfubuki

[mint sapphire]

miyo can be used in yesod but she's fully replaceable with mimori

[copper crescent]

Geb didn't came out until global finished running sfubuki

[full granite]

5 month gap so I can actively not pull anything except takane, bhimari and yuzu

[mint sapphire]

yeah i pulled her because she's hot

was worth it

[summer dew]

based

[random lake]

i built her and never used her

[true shale]

What is the moral of the story regarding S.Fubuki?

[copper crescent]

So we might only find out once global finishes running miyo/ritsu

[random lake]

cuz s.shiroko was better apparently

[true shale]

Are there any standards that one could apply to S.Fubuki that wouldn't be applied to OG Shigure?

[copper crescent]

The moral is that sfubuki kit had no use for so long until global sfubuki banner finishes and then geb showed up

[torn thorn]

Lick?!!!??

[supple star]

Lick deez

[summer dew]

i wonder what will become of ninja fish. "oh just alternative to iwak/healer iwak" is everyones first impression

[copper crescent]

Ninja fish is just hiero

[torn thorn]

Tf you mean “just”

[copper crescent]

No need to overthink it

[supple star]

Ready for geb?

[copper crescent]

She is healer in other places

[torn thorn]

Maybe…

Need 2x normal

[random lake]

ninja fish?

[copper crescent]

But u pull her specifically if you need more healers for hiero bc it might rly happen

[true shale]

She's very obviously good, imo. There's always a bait banner in close proximity to each fest. It's probably her.

[copper crescent]

Dress michiru

[proven dove]

To know something new is coming with new mechanics in a unit's kit. Especially nowadays.

[summer dew]

dmich

[random lake]

why fish

[copper crescent]

Bc she has fish basic

Start of fight everyone's cost reduce by one

[summer dew]

ye iwak basic but with atk and a cost sub

[copper crescent]

Anyone with that basic skill is classified as fish

Hence ninja fish

[true shale]

The basic + subskill combo is very strong in it's own right

[random lake]

ah the -1 cost

[copper crescent]

Yes

[true shale]

Though explaining why takes mid-length essay, which I don't have time for right now.

[random lake]

she seems to be a replacement for s.shiroko tbh. fills a more general role than striking 1 enemy with Blue + DEF down

[copper crescent]

Dmich might actually be needed for luna hiero

[random lake]

so fits into more scenarios

[copper crescent]

There's smth off

[random lake]

especially if you want both the speed (cost regen + -1 cost) and not having to bring healer in your strikers

[loud knoll]

but it is a healer

[true shale]

D.Michiru should be good in all Luna raids, imo.

[copper crescent]

Is there a specific reason why someone would need the basic skill to have a team viable

In hiero

[true shale]

She has close to S.Atsuko numbers on her healing too, btw

[summer dew]

hm yea you could use dmich with noa for def down for example, since iwak doubles as def down and cost sub

allows more comps

just a crude example

[copper crescent]

Next we'll get ex hyperbuffer with that basic and sub

The second coming of kisaki

[proven dove]

Tbh dmichiru seems to me she'll be on the main hiero luna team

[copper crescent]

I think so too yeah

[random lake]

yea

[proven dove]

Since we have sseia to replace kisaki

[copper crescent]

And sseia is blue armor

[summer dew]

yea seems perfect at glance

[copper crescent]

Can't possibly go wrong

[random lake]

the pieces are falling in place

[copper crescent]

And then shoshino for red and atk buff

[proven dove]

Sseia needs a raid (ta) in which she's the best choice, so it might be hiero, or another upcoming raid :p

[copper crescent]

And lantern for the atk buff

[random lake]

what was the order we got Luna releases?

[copper crescent]

And you wouldn't bring any more atk buffer

[random lake]

first was Geb, then KK, then Hovercraft? , Greg and then idk

[copper crescent]

Geb then keke boat greg goz hod peroro

[summer dew]

excluding yesod and geb that debuted on luna

[copper crescent]

Next is kaiten and then hiero

[random lake]

right that was what i wanted to know

i noticed they were going reverse order of release

[copper crescent]

Kaiten before hiero

[true shale]

https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Total_Assault

Includes reruns

[copper crescent]

Probably gonna be dmichiru snagi

[slate sky]

Tyuuka used on all those bosses that haven't had lunatic yet

[supple star]

Hey bob

[copper crescent]

Hi

Roadmap?

[supple star]

We are one week off right

Lol

[copper crescent]

Yes

[mint sapphire]

might stream my smika pulls

[supple star]

How did You know

[copper crescent]

Bc every time u called my name

It usually follows with roadmap

[untold tusk]

So will BEimi be on next .5 fes selector?

[supple star]

Youre right

[copper crescent]

Ignore the ichika banner being in weird spot

Oh it's still sending

[proven dove]

Last one is dmichiru so nope

[mint sapphire]

why would b.eimi be on selector

shes not even out yet

[copper crescent]

joe it's the usual questions

gia is just lost

[untold tusk]

I wanted BEimi on the .5 selector so I can get easier

[supple star]

[copper crescent]

we're surprisingly on track

Despite the 1 week skip for events but not raid

[untold tusk]

Well guess I will spook eventually is not too difficult

[true shale]

Selector tickets normally only cover students that released more than six months earlier.

[mint sapphire]

also even if b.eimi was released earlier

it wouldn't be until like

a year

to be added to the selector pool

[true shale]

Is it six months or a year? I forgot

[mint sapphire]

just cope for spook i guess

[copper crescent]

If anyone wanna take a look for any accuracy (other than the ichika banner placement) I'd appreciate it

[true shale]

[untold tusk]

I like BEimi design so I wanted to be able to selector

[proven dove]

I am mixed, I want beimi to be as meta as possible, while I know I won't be able to pull her

[old rose]

hope beimi and byuzu are the most dogshit skippable students imaginable

[proven dove]

Surely she'll have the nagusa treatment

[copper crescent]

If not imma post it in gameplay info in like 3-5 hours

[supple star]

Woah
After magical girls i have no one else to pull for

https://tenor.com/view/blue-archive-himari-akeboshi-himari-cute-funny-gif-3716490219911382568

[copper crescent]

There's still potential merges so don't expect it to be 100% accurate

[untold tusk]

If only I had more than 38K pyroxenes then I could roll BEimi

[old rose]

buy a pakeji

[untold tusk]

I am already buying monthlies

[supple star]

Did we know what she does?

[old rose]

no

[copper crescent]

No

[supple star]

Oh

[proven dove]

I want them to be meta x_x but their placement won't allow it

[slate sky]

Ritsu + shina rerun

[copper crescent]

Yeah

It's smth I'm thinking about

At most though we only speed up one week

[summer dew]

only that she is "rear support" whatever that means

[supple star]

🤔

[fleet narwhal]

we arent getting any more acceleration until madoka tho

[old rose]

i dont think its happening

[slate sky]

Confirmed?

[fleet narwhal]

look at the pvp season end, that shit happens the same time madoka ends

[copper crescent]

Unless they skip a raid dead week, events will only skip at most one week

[old rose]

the pvp season maint date

[slate sky]

Oh

[old rose]

either two weeks are acceled somehow or none

[supple star]

Pulling SHina to unlock b150 hmmm

[true shale]

I'm not much of an authority, but it looks fine. Nice format, btw.

Would you add PvP season reset in there too?

[supple star]

Nah its too whel

[copper crescent]

Sure

[slate sky]

For kaiten lunatic p1

[supple star]

[true shale]

They confirmed that just the other day

[dim frigate]

Pulling Takane or dress michru prob a better idea than that

[copper crescent]

I think I could trust Coha to review stuff

[supple star]

Oh shit
Right

[copper crescent]

Thank you

[true shale]

Uh... 03/24

[copper crescent]

Yeah

I'm thinking of slotting in ga tix somehow too

[supple star]

🤔

DMichiru is cute

But damn
So close to fest

[true shale]

On stuff like this I'm actually not that well informed, haha...

[dim frigate]

i mean if ur picking between hina and anything else

[supple star]

Oh

[true shale]

I just did a quick check for anything that looks way out of place, like two consecutive JFDs on the same colour, etc.

[copper crescent]

I see

[supple star]

I'd take SHina

[dim frigate]

based

[supple star]

So i have more time to recover

[true shale]

Like there's two Outdoor JFDs in a row here, which seems odd. But that did actually happen, so it's fine.

[copper crescent]

Yeah they broke the cycle

[true shale]

Yeah

The cycle has been a little bit off since there's now four drills and four colours, but only 3 terrains still

[old rose]

and they reran blue chok instead of yellow tiph

[true shale]

It will get even messier once they give us a green JFD, I'm sure

[copper crescent]

Yup

[loud knoll]

JFDs have terrain?

[copper crescent]

Yes

Since it existing

[supple star]

[loud knoll]

Never payed attention

[true shale]

Every combat engagement has a terrain, I think?

[copper crescent]

Yeah

I can't think of a counterexample

[supple star]

Minigames

[true shale]

We still haven't seen the terrain swapping mechanic from Phrenapates show up again

[loud knoll]

True

[true shale]

They're keeping that one in their back pocket

[loud knoll]

But JFD background always same no matter terrain, right?

[supple star]

It changes

[copper crescent]

It does change

[true shale]

The exact opposite...

[copper crescent]

Outdoor is the one with sand and booths

[true shale]

Oh wait, I can't remember indoors

Is Indoors and Urban the same?

[copper crescent]

No

[supple star]

You mean the bg?

[loud knoll]

Learn something new every day

[copper crescent]

I used to do this for roadmap but it was too cluttered

[supple star]

Yea

Grass

[copper crescent]

Urban is this one

[atomic arrow]

[true shale]

Oh yeah, Indoor has the blue floor

They're all different, sorry

[copper crescent]

Np

[true shale]

Was apologising to Cupcake actually, for giving false hope.

[copper crescent]

Ah

[slate sky]

[true shale]

Do you have a screenshot of indoors anyway, for completionism?

[supple star]

I remember that SHanako web event

Peak fanart

[round kayak]

snonomilk JFD

[atomic arrow]

I still have that

the art

[supple star]

Share

[atomic arrow]

uhhh

[true shale]

Can't believe I forgot the indoors JFD arena actually. Some of the toughest clears for me personally were on that map.

Lining up EX circles with the arrows on the floor, etc. etc.

[atomic arrow]

lemme remember where I put it

oh

[copper crescent]

Holy art

[supple star]

Sheesh

[summer dew]

love this detail

no we're raidless, so it's ok

Hello jerome

[slate sky]

Lot of new ppl joined here around that time?

[mint sapphire]

ye

[pallid inlet]

Speaking of s hoshino

[copper crescent]

Wtf

Damn

[round kayak]

recruitment stonks

[slate sky]

[supple star]

I joined this discord because of that lmao

[copper crescent]

Holy recruitment

[atomic arrow]

what if we did it again

[dull lodge]

I came here from ba sub reddit

:3

[supple star]

Later we got one free ticket

[pallid inlet]

Nezo what if I used s hoshino on insane gaybruh

[old rose]

it's good for dhina bodythrow team

[round kayak]

oh yea true

[mint sapphire]

did you expect to find hanako here

[round kayak]

even lunatic bodythrow uses her

[pallid inlet]

It’s not about bodythrow

[round kayak]

she works

[supple star]

Maybe

[round kayak]

[old rose]

no you should not use her to ice break

[pallid inlet]

It’s about :nezo: being the last to kill

[round kayak]

Uhh what

[pallid inlet]

Leave the boss on low hp

[copper crescent]

Guys what if we have a boss opposite of boat

[pallid inlet]

Send nezo out to get a free win

[round kayak]

oh a meme team lmao

[copper crescent]

Where the more u hit the more dmg reduction the boss gets

[pallid inlet]

Yes

[supple star]

Wat

[wanton pilot]

Lets make it yellow too!!

[slate sky]

That would just further encourage burst dps meta

[true shale]

We've had a few JFDs and challenge stages like this.

[round kayak]

Yeah that sounds right

[supple star]

Lets just bring a lot of SR users then

https://tenor.com/view/key-blue-archive-punch-arisu-hit-tendou-alice-gif-15618238442218151731

[pallid inlet]

Anyway I got 2 hibiki elephs today

[candid gust]

uhhh guys

[copper crescent]

Hi

[candid gust]

apparently i forgot to login yesterday

[copper crescent]

Ah

[round kayak]

bricked

[copper crescent]

Rip peav

[true shale]

Actually the most effective one I remember didn't use damage reduction - It was the Kai challenge stage where she reapplied a shield to herself.

[pallid inlet]

Bricked

[last ermine]

Delete ur account it’s over

[supple star]

Time to retire

[true shale]

It was balanced well enough that a hyperbuffed D.Hina EX was almost completely neutered.

[copper crescent]

Whoa

[pallid inlet]

What was the play then

[candid gust]

surely my pvp rank isn't baf

[true shale]

We used single-hit EX skills, like Aru or L.Shun

[last ermine]

Top 2000 if ur lucky

[pallid inlet]

Nice

[copper crescent]

And then what if u combine that with healing/shield being disabled and you can only get healing from hitting the boss

[pallid inlet]

What are the current event challenges

[true shale]

Seems like kind of a pain to design, but it's a feasible idea.

[copper crescent]

And having temporary switches where you'd disable the effect by smth like groggy or chokmah cylinder

[true shale]

I have a preference for raids that are internally synergistic, personally

[copper crescent]

Ah

[true shale]

But raids with conflicting requirements aren't necessarily bad or anything.

That's just my preference.

[copper crescent]

It definitely does feel like a pain to design

[atomic arrow]

1: count the sweepers
2: scrimmage
3: "please use focus fire, or don't"
ex: purple fes

[true shale]

You can still make a good raid out of it, it's just... harder.

So it's not as clear cut as to whether that idea will turn out well or not.

[pallid inlet]

So the ex challenge is smika time to shine?

[old rose]

it's possible solo shanako

[atomic arrow]

or

[supple star]

My f2p SMika cant clear the ex in time

[true shale]

An example of an existing raid with internally-conflicting mechanics is Chesed.

[copper crescent]

Yeah ppl hate chesed

[true shale]

The player's task is to balance AoE dps and ST dps

The difficulty of the raid comes from managing this division of duty

By contrast, Hieronymus is has mechanics that are internally synergistic.

[loud knoll]

4* works kinda

[true shale]

Healing is used to solve everything, albeit with different nuances.

Healing in Hiero even facilitates dps

[loud knoll]

Curious how would be chiaki for ex challenge

[true shale]

The difficulty there comes from bringing enough healing to prevent being overrun.

[copper crescent]

Thank you for the good explanation and examples

[true shale]

Maybe it helps you build for the raids too!

[copper crescent]

So that is another way to characterize raids

[true shale]

If Arona thought it would be funny to give you all types of one utility (like healing), and nothing else, then maybe you're well positioned for the latter type of raid!

Or vice versa

[candid gust]

😟

R7

[old rose]

gimmick gives crit and cdmg, so probably not great

[true shale]

When I started, I think that Arona gave me a disproportionately large number of CC students.

So I ended up doing Extreme Hod a bit earlier than some of the other raids.

[slate sky]

https://media.tenor.com/BfjhuJV8uMgAAAAM/serika-serika-kuromi.gif

[copper crescent]

BA raid designs seem to be leaning on both aoe/mobbing and st lately like yesod and tiph

Wait idek much about yesod

I'm gonna just go read

[tall glacier]

Not exactly the same, but geburah iceberg...

[slate sky]

Shanako usually the only aoe for yesod but used for ST purposes (breaking the pillars 1 by 1)

[candid gust]

shanako dps exists tho

not too surprised

[slate sky]

She does a lot on main body too?

[candid gust]

not as strong as smika but she still does decent dmg

[proven dove]

Accumulation for wakamo

[supple star]

I think so
I'm 20 seconds late for 3*

Time to optimize

[feral jetty]

she does enough to fill up wakamo's accumulation

shanako has always been a strong ST purple idk why we're acting surprised

she was better than nagusa for purple hiero topscore

[loud knoll]

I did with this. Just followed rainstorm time line, and where he finishes switched meeka and fired 3 more times.

[pale fractal]

barely and most likely because she could kill lantern for free

[feral jetty]

yes i don't see how that matters

[supple star]

3*?

[feral jetty]

she's doing ST levels of damage regardless

[loud knoll]

Yes, 2:24

[supple star]

Perfect

[loud knoll]

There is also bald shanako only clear if yours is highly built

[supple star]

She is but i don't wanna bald

[odd geyser]

[polar orbit]

Hopefully ue50 is doable without chare

[loud knoll]

With Hikari maybe?

[polar orbit]

Yeah I got a 2 star clear. Hopefully with some balding I can do 3

[odd geyser]

ty for the borrows

[loud knoll]

You skip meeka completely or just refuse to build?

[polar orbit]

Didn't find her 😔

[echo oar]

have you read the story yet, sensei

[candid gust]

me when me when

[astral fern]

That thing is still going?

I thought it ended alr

[loud knoll]

It stays forever, they just don't give pyros

[lilac solar]

I think it'd be pretty cool if they expanded the office idea (i.e. to get current raid stats without having to load the game)

[median lotus]

Alright, let's look at the story for this event:
Holy moly.. no combat story stages???? 😭😭😭😭

[grim pine]

it's peak

[median lotus]

I can actually just choose to skip the story or take my time

[grim pine]

you wouldn't skip the story sensei

[median lotus]

I'm trying

[odd fable]

I always do. I’m sorry I need to unlock everything and it’s a tuesday. I backread on weekends

[astral fern]

Oh lol

Then it's basically dead for me

[simple igloo]

lol i just fell asleep while playing 1 of the stages

[sly ice]

I'm very fond of Fuyu folks

Relationship story/momotalks are very good so far

[wicked vine]

lmfao

i didnt even realize

this was an issue

[young lotus]

You guys read stories in gacha games?

if the gacha allows me time to read the story yeah

Try to access to my Office and it just keeps loop and loop over again
