[west perch]

it was one of the banners I sacc'd

[round kayak]

ssg

[polar orbit]

i would do kurokage if i had himari 😭

[west perch]

had to selector reisa on the day of luna mocks though

[round kayak]

my fest pulls were honestly too wild 💀

I'm dry sparking magicals I can smell it

[atomic arrow]

what's that smell

[polar orbit]

i would be fine not finding msuzumi if it means i find himari or camp hare

[summer dew]

apparently i'm pretty much only missing renge, kasumi and niya from usable purple aoe students

that also reminds me i need to ue50 shanako before i forget and spend ligma on something stupid again

[torn thorn]

Kasumi 😭

why did they cook so many peak designs

[summer dew]

s.kasumi when

s.rabu when

[torn thorn]

😭 💢

[summer dew]

s.megu when

[quiet raft]

how did I even get elephs of her?

[polar orbit]

crafting?

[quiet raft]

I probably didn't even notice

got confused while I was checking students

[summer dew]

I got 4 kisaki eleph from n3 once

My peak craft so far

[atomic arrow]

[quiet raft]

I got 5 S Nonomi from craft

[round kayak]

watafak saccer

[proven dove]

Wait to buy her elephs via exp shop next reset, before giving her ue50

[round kayak]

🔪

only elphs I ever get on mystic is farmables smh

[summer dew]

hmm good idea melek

i have some 8k banked now

[polar orbit]

fest elephs are a scam

[summer dew]

mostly

[atomic arrow]

if they're a scam why do I keep buying them

[summer dew]

what's the scammer variant of stockholm syndrome?

you got that i guess

[polar orbit]

you like wasting permits

[proven dove]

I have 4.4k ligma, and I'm wasting 500 to ue50 nozomi

[polar orbit]

amazing

[atomic arrow]

based

[proven dove]

Hopefully I'll have enough for kurokage luna

But weapons resources are getting tight, gotta farm next 2x scrimms :x

But yeah fes elephs are still worth it, even though more expensive than usual ones

But after ue50 buying them to ue60 feels like a chore x) (I still didn't start any ue60 farm from exp shop)

[pastel mortar]

Is it not the case of whether you prefer short term or long term gain? Maybe it's different when you're old idk

[proven dove]

It is relative indeed.
My exp shop purchases changed so much since I've got to lev90.

-at first, I prioritized credits reports ligma and limited elephs. No fes.
-then, no reports anymore, started welfare farm. No fes.
-then I farmed mainly fes elephs + some limited + 1 welfare. No resources nor ligma

And I'm still keeping it that way

You instinctively know what your needs are from time to time.

[quiet raft]

Is Mika even a protagonist?

[echo oar]

imo we are hitting (or have already hit) that tipping point of it being a legit short-term vs long-term gains decision for newer players

[quiet raft]

at least until like episode 4 of volume 3

[echo oar]

older players didn't have many options to permit, and they've already farmed lots of welfares from events

[quiet raft]

maybe, I haven't read that yet cuz reading older events

[echo oar]

but people who are starting today have units like skoharu and sshizuko who they'll probably want to ligma/permit to some ue at some point

not to mention all the new, actually useful limiteds that are coming out vs the older days

[quiet raft]

I don't have S.Koharu

[echo oar]

tyuuka imari isak seia uasuna hikari

yeah! so the decision is do you keep your skoharu at 2* forever once you pick her up from the event archive, or do you invest permits into her

oh right mreisa and msuzumi too

and sseia

[proven dove]

She is not, but has focus on her on chapter 4. The point of the meme is the important character of every volume :p

[echo oar]

so if you use permits on fest units, it's because they'll have an immediate use for raids so you can borrow someone else, BUT the more expensive permits means you have less savings vs spending em on all these new, useful limiteds

[round kayak]

when does mreisa's elphs pop up in the ep shop?

[proven dove]

In 6 months

[echo oar]

they haven't been added yet apparently

[proven dove]

Next month we'll have shupos added

[round kayak]

Welp thought I could change my plans for a bit

[echo oar]

yeah I might hold some permits in reserve for hikari nozomi sseia shasumi permits

[quiet raft]

I have been buying elephs for S Nagi and S Mika, waiting for SSeia

[quiet raft]

welp

[proven dove]

Yeah maybe my brain is so raid focused that I found myself prioritizing fes elephs.

But welfare farm is really annoying. I was thinking to stop after finishing sshizuko and sayane, but still I wanna farm some older ones :x

[round kayak]

I'm buying shanako elphs so I can discount her UE 60 before Luna krkg drops

[echo oar]

yeaaah we're so strapped on supply...

nexon pls fix

[round kayak]

next 10th fest trust

[proven dove]

Lool the duality of reacts

[quiet raft]

Stop bricking

[echo oar]

that's still fine in all honesty

[quiet raft]

[pastel mortar]

I only hit max lvl early this month. Iirc I bought imari/sshizuko/seia/tyuuka/nyfuuka/pins/ligma and the rest on myuzu. I think I plan to keep it that way for now until they add more options.

[round kayak]

The moment I saw that brick I knew none did it

[echo oar]

the eligma savings someone gets by hyperoptimizing permit spending can be blown out of the water by simply getting lucky on fest rolls

[proven dove]

I'm giving my shanako ue50 for kurokage, she should cost me 400 ligma or less

[frozen chasm]

ngl

buying fest in EP shop is like

no brainer

but its so expensive

fuck the EP shop cost

[round kayak]

will say that EP is just dependent on your goals

I'm not saving for normal limiteds cause I don't even have nor plan to pull them

[eternal thorn]

[echo oar]

I'm swamped just keeping up with the limiteds and welfares I wanna permit 😔

once one welfare is done, on to the next

never ending

[proven dove]

I am actually accounting for that :p that's why ue60 for me is something to do slowly and prioritize for it units that are added in recollect banner.

[round kayak]

I dropped Sshizuko farm after I started planning for Luna krkg

Not enough permits....

[echo oar]

this month's expenditure

if you wanna see how biased my opinion is

[untold tusk]

How many months to get from 2* welfare to UE40 if buying from ep?
Is like 5 months or?

That’s totally how probability works

[marble gust]

and her buff scales with student acc too

[untold tusk]

Just how I like it

[marble gust]

so mika 100 acc gets buffed to like 180

while 1k acc students buffed till 1.8k

[pallid inlet]

180 still not enough to guarantee a hit on 🧀

[marble gust]

nodoka bg when

her BG gives flat acc increase

for her that is

she's not hysilens

[pallid inlet]

[round kayak]

sorry other game reference

[proven dove]

There was an early on comp, using red winter units (cherino tomoe nodoka) + nonomi :3 nodoka solves nonomi's acc issues and cherino brings more cost and tomoe gives buffs x)

for some dumb reason there is a toggle for role colors but not for icons

I didn’t see if there were any other context. High and low difficulty raids use very different things, to say nothing of PvP, JFD, casuals clearing stage missions and event challenges, etc.

[proven dove]

For purple chesed yeah, and mmidori too

[true shale]

Yeah, you’d have to clarify your standards for “least used”. It probably leads to a slightly tautological answer.

[quiet raft]

tf does tautological mean?

[true shale]

Uh, like, it can be justified as true no matter what? Kinda?

"Who are the least used students? those who are the least useful Who the least useful? [...]"

Logical maths exists anyway

[snow portal]

Where do you live? At my house.
And where is your house? Where I live.

[quiet raft]

Even who I thought would not even be recommended like B.Asuna is good in scenarios

[true shale]

More like: “This is the least used student on the content in which she is not used”

[quiet raft]

"Why would I use B.Asuna for AoE def debuff when it is so costly?" I asked myself

[true shale]

Another funny question which occasionally crops up here is “Who is the most forgotten student?”

[frozen chasm]

wrong question

the correct question should be "will I do damage without def down"

[quiet raft]

Well, I got her when starting and rolling on archive iirc

[true shale]

Well, B.Asuna is far from the greatest early-game pull, I’ll give you that.

[candid gust]

😟

[strange ridge]

She's available for purchase in GA shops too so

[shell tree]

I have 800 basuna elephs, still not yet unlocked

[strange ridge]

You only need 40 elephs left to UE60 her frlm scratch lol

[shell tree]

If I abstain from unlocking, I can continue to buy infinitely more elephs, because she won’t get greyed out

[quiet raft]

this is how early, prior were Momiji and other scrubs, oh, and Sumire too (who I stopped using after a while

[frail glen]

hello chat

[shell tree]

how

[frail glen]

actualy I think kriet is right

because its hows how many you can buy

i think?

or was it eligma shop only

[shell tree]

I assume, only if you have them unlocked?

I mean recruited

[strange ridge]

Even in raid shops

[ripe mason]

why would you want infinite basuna elephs anyways

[orchid axle]

Hi balders

[frail glen]

to prepare for the reincarnation ritual

that one time I reincarnate as bunny asuna

I need that emoji that ayeccs uses where the m&m-lookin guy shrugs

greyed out?

[strange ridge]

Meaning you can't but anymore

[frail glen]

what do you guys spend your purple ta coins on

[true shale]

If B.Asuna visits your cafe, then it's probably time

[strange ridge]

Elephs.

[frail glen]

I was told not to spend on secret tech notes

[shell tree]

correct

[strange ridge]

And tech notes

[frail glen]

I mean only koharu really worth it

feels like a lot left over

[true shale]

By whom, and why?

I buy STNs

[frail glen]

Nari

[shell tree]

using purple coins

[frail glen]

they said don't buy secret tech note using purple TA coin

[true shale]

Otherwise Trinity books, usually.

[true shale]

Did I mix it up? You can buy one, can't you?

[strange ridge]

You are a dork if you have a stockpile of purple coins and not buy the others

500 purple coins for 1 secret tech note

[frail glen]

I was burning raid coins for mats for clearing raids

[shell tree]

It’s inadvisable for someone who doesn’t have their purple coin student elephs maxed out to buy STNs with purple coins

[frail glen]

this is first time since forever I had left over

[strange ridge]

...

[true shale]

Also like, is the question what I buy? Or what should you buy?

[shell tree]

I hope I phrased that correctly

[frail glen]

but the thing is

I don't see value for purple coin students

except koharu

I feel like I already have their premium counterparts

[shell tree]

I can’t imagine you having purple coins left over at this point in your, uhh, “career”

[true shale]

Get them so that they're finished and you no longer have a dilemma over it.

[strange ridge]

They're free

[shell tree]

you gotta farm the farmables, bro

[true shale]

Having the luxury of choice is a luxury, so you may as well capitalise on it.

[frail glen]

like chihiro coins were just for unlock, I already have c kotoma for CC
koharu is koharu
but Azusa(unlocked)? I have d Hina and toki
and midori in 2026?

[shell tree]

Like, I’m getting Kotori to ue60 for a reason

[strange ridge]

You don't even need to level them up to 90 or somethinf

[strange ridge]

Buy them

[shell tree]

azusa roughly mostly functions as a maki alternative nowadays

[old rose]

you want chihiro ue for stat transfer in high set

you want azusa’s basic, which is def down

[frail glen]

bro highest floor i done so far is 48

where you sacrifice lots of stuff for survival

[frail glen]

what about GA shop

[true shale]

We're obviously justifying this with nothing other than "trust us", but we can explain the merits to you if you like.

[shell tree]

swakamo coming soon, iirc. Kaede is important

[strange ridge]

Buy all

[true shale]

These students do pay for themselves if you have a long-term goal of doing higher content

[frail glen]

wait why kaede though

[shell tree]

team shield

[echo oar]

kaede was pivotal to my set f106 clear

[copper crescent]

holy f 32.2% atk down

[frail glen]

but isn't that tyuuka job

[echo oar]

I needed her to smooth out the damage spikes while oshig did her thing

[copper crescent]

kotama only has 18.9%

[echo oar]

tyuuka only shields herself +3

and messes with positioning and/or interrupts basics

[shell tree]

kaede can shield more students at once, yeah

[frail glen]

ight I ma just get kaede

saving rest for s wakamo

[strange ridge]

T. Yuuka can shield everyone in a normal 4 team, in 6-man team, 2 are exposes

[shell tree]

tyuuka in tiphareth is like rocket surgery

(I’m being hyperbolic)

it is annoying, though

[strange ridge]

Nah you're right

[shell tree]

holy f it was annoying lol

[echo oar]

tyuuka in tiph is putting a circle block in the square hole

[queen cloak]

Oh, you're here Audiens

[shell tree]

tyuuka + hanako on tiphareth… oh my god

[strange ridge]

Reverse

[true shale]

My opinion on Kaede is that she's useful for the shield potency from the special slot.

[echo oar]

no cause it still fits!

[queen cloak]

I wanted to ask you if you still have that Band Natsu sound

[echo oar]

it's just not the intended solution

[queen cloak]

I can't remember it

[echo oar]

which one??

kansha??

[queen cloak]

Yes!

[strange ridge]

T. Yuuka is like putting a square in the circle hole

[queen cloak]

That's the one

[echo oar]

oh that's base natsu

[frail glen]

ohhh I remember why I ignored kaede

[shell tree]

putting a square hole into a circle block

[echo oar]

I just rip it from schaledb

[frail glen]

when I was searching for shield for geburah, kaede will occupy the special slot, that's why I thought she kinda useless

[shell tree]

(hehe)

[frail glen]

Now i see the vision

[queen cloak]

Was it? I thought it was from the band one

[frail glen]

ye getting kaede prob right

[strange ridge]

Already have Kaede at UE40

[stable mulch]

It's more because there's no striker cdmg buff other than daru

[echo oar]

right click and save audio as

[queen cloak]

I'm going to go to UE40 Band Natsu right now, so I might just try to motivate myself with Kansha!

[stable mulch]

and xserina

[strange ridge]

And actually in purple tiph, Kaede IS better than T. Yuuka only because you don't need to mald

[true shale]

That's more a feature of Geburah than it is of Kaede.

[echo oar]

does batsu have a kansha

[past spruce]

Still doesn't show up for me after the update

[strange ridge]

And your main DPS Nozomi has very high crit dmg modifiers you can get away with no Ako

[true shale]

Geburah encourages us to field dps in special slots, which accentuates the special slot congestion.

[queen cloak]

Oh! Thanks Audiens

[strange ridge]

Or any critbuffer

[solar knot]

[strange ridge]

Yellow tiph is a different problem

And a different monster

[shell tree]

It’s good to ask, though. Some farmables or permit shop students are truly low priority, like nodoka

[west perch]

no, that's the exact opposite reason not to bring any crit buffers

[shell tree]

Some have decent priority that may not be obvious to you

[orchid axle]

Hi balders

@round kayak

[west perch]

high base cdmg means every crit buff is a higher multiplier

[true shale]

Coin shop farmables have a few months of preparation time, so by the time their usecase becomes apparent, it's a bit too late to get them.

They're honestly a good-value purchase in the big scheme of things, though.

[strange ridge]

If only they gave BG3 and here I can whiff my crack and believe they'll give Nodoka's EX buff a flat accuracy increase too

[frail glen]

what is recommended for red tor srkr for S Hoshino again?

[echo oar]

idk about that

[orchid axle]

Sub? Enhanced?

[west perch]

there's a reason why they haven't touched hat cdmg since t7>8
base cdmg is crazy strong

[stuck valley]

shirokoro

[frail glen]

I heard something about sub not really being useful since srkr reduces recovery oost

[west perch]

MxxM

[orchid axle]

Wait what it does?

[west perch]

Recovery boost, not cost regen

[orchid axle]

I got confused there

[frail glen]

ye it was recoery boost

[west perch]

recovery boost is health recovered.
Cost recovery is cost

Recovery boost isn't cost recovery

can I get away with not leveling sub for srkr?
since I am ONLY using her for srkr

[west perch]

mock it

[strange ridge]

No.

[quiet raft]

if it fits in the square hole it fits

[frail glen]

[west perch]

just mock first

No one here can tell you what's the actual min invest

[orchid axle]

Look at me doing srkr without shosh

[frail glen]

but EX def max right? for dmg boost

[shell tree]

shoshino is an ultra mega cracked character who’s used in so many places

[orchid axle]

Like shanako

[west perch]

while true, you can say that about every hyperbuffer

[strange ridge]

EX and subskill

[strange ridge]

S. Hosh is more crack

[frail glen]

I ma hold on to subskill upgrade for now because

I kinda ran out of credits

[strange ridge]

Oof

[true shale]

Do you guys not use the skill investment priority guide anymore?

[orchid axle]

My credits be like

[shell tree]

oh dear

[west perch]

Yep. Else her cost isn't 5 and that's another devastating part

[true shale]

ye ngl, yesod is not looking good to me rn

idk if I have enough to pull the team 2 invest

not enough credits

[strange ridge]

Depends

[west perch]

then just do ins

[frail glen]

BRO HOW COME MY CREDITS RUN OUT BFORE ANYTHING ELSE 😭

[strange ridge]

Sometimes I don't need if I am going to max out the student anywaym

[frail glen]

[orchid axle]

What artifacts does Rabu use?

[sleek flicker]

Spending alot onto upgrade students, most likely

[strange ridge]

It happens

[west perch]

[strange ridge]

And yes student upgrade IS expensive

[frail glen]

free pyro

[shell tree]

I buy all balls in shop every day. Rip my credits

[true shale]

Very normal. Go refresh AP on the event!

[west perch]

I'm gonna repeat again
go and fucking mock first

[strange ridge]

I always vent about purple reports

But purple stones are way more egregious wtf

[frail glen]

I heard You
that's why I am holding on sub level

if I can get away with it I ma get away with it

[west perch]

that's right

I'm a big fan of saving resources

[orchid axle]

Oh hanako's toy

[copper crescent]

yes

[frail glen]

like

[west perch]

imine is now forever lv75 because that's all she needed for luna geb

[frail glen]

nvm

[copper crescent]

it is true I do feel she is being used less

[true shale]

Because Kaiten and Hiero haven't been seen in ages

Also we have a narrow Urban PvP map

[strange ridge]

Are you high? They love to rerun Hiero in GA

[shell tree]

Astarotte’s Toy

[strange ridge]

I always see Hiero Urban all the time

[snow portal]

Seems she does not

[strange ridge]

And I'm sick of it

Get in the fucking church, Jerome!

[frail glen]

do people ever actually raises sub for shigure

[polar orbit]

do people ever raise shigure?

[true shale]

Like it or not, I'm pretty sure that's the primary reason

[strange ridge]

If they yse Shigure

Or love Shigfy

[snow portal]

Maybe to 4* for O.Shiggy bond

[echo oar]

yosha's good to

[frail glen]

but when will trading normal attack range ever be useful

[echo oar]

she sounds so deadpan

[true shale]

We don't get a choice in making the trade.

[echo oar]

shig has been used once since I started playing, for the yellow peroro junko thing I think

[frail glen]

https://tenor.com/view/alright-vegito-dbz-fist-pump-fusion-gif-5922650

[true shale]

The skill is active no matter what, it's just how good the numbers are on the upside.

[strange ridge]

Wdym

[frail glen]

like you are reducing your attack damage

in favor of attack range

[strange ridge]

Lol what? That's a bad idea.

[frail glen]

that is exactly what i am asking
in what situation would Shigure Sub level invest be considered reasonable

[strange ridge]

Unless you mean like someone's passive that has atk range up and atk up

[frail glen]

ignoring the fact that she is shigure

[strange ridge]

Ah ok

AoEs

[frail glen]

aoe from normal ?

[true shale]

As I said, we don't get a choice. The trade has already happened. We upgrade to minimise the reduction in attack damage.

[snow portal]

Kansha 👍

[shell tree]

the numbers are just baked in, I suppose

[strange ridge]

Yes

And the whole atk range thay is from Shiggy's sub is not her base atk range

[frail glen]

O wait I am so dumb

it is actually lower if unleveled

[strange ridge]

But her normal attack blast radius

[echo oar]

[frail glen]

for some reason I thought she stays at 100% attack and normal attack radius if not upgraded

[true shale]

Yes, that.

[frail glen]

🥺

[echo oar]

so many kanshas

[frail glen]

sometimes I just silly like that

[shell tree]

it’s a strange skill, for sure, though

[summer dew]

yea GL weapons have natural splash/aoe dmg for small radius

[true shale]

Back to reading practice!

[summer dew]

it just makes the radius bigger

[echo oar]

csena would like a word

[strange ridge]

Alsp fun fact: Sena has the exact same subskill

[frail glen]

IN MY DEFENSE, I checked students info from the banner not website
i couldn't know how the sub skill upgrade would work

[strange ridge]

*C. Sena

[shell tree]

No, I get it. You’re not dumb

[frail glen]

thx vinny

[tender eagle]

Iirc that attack radius helps her a damage a lot against krkg too

[shell tree]

👍

[strange ridge]

Exactly

[echo oar]

yeah she actually has non-zero damage

[true shale]

C.Sena's damage is pretty good for her usecase

Shigure... I've yet to see it. It's okay in theory against Kaiten P1.

[frozen chasm]

its only good in kurokek

cause of how close the fragments are are

[strange ridge]

Greg Field up to Torment

[summer dew]

in theory kaiten bonks shiggys yellow armor too

[shell tree]

I’m glad that the change in range from tomoe’s ex skill stays constant, regardless of ex skill level. In other words, I’m glad I didn’t have to level tomoe’s ex skill for this jfd

lvl 1

[true shale]

From what I've seen, it's not actually that good, unfortunately. The mechanics + her targeting just aren't a good match. Idk if the changes in Luna affect that though.

[snow portal]

Do you enjoy healing?

[strange ridge]

In luna all strikers are worse

[true shale]

She'll be safe enough on P1. Still doesn't mean anybody uses her though.

[strange ridge]

Permanent atk down.

[summer dew]

that we can agree on

[strange ridge]

But theoretically, I want to believe Shiggy overall will have more dmg in Field Greg than D. Hina would only because Shiggy can hit more targets on EX

[shell tree]

is this supposed to be just a static frame

[true shale]

On top of that, C.Sena's GL targeting causes the splash to be centered in a better spot than Momiji, since Momiji's rocket explodes on the front edge of the first fragment.

[snow portal]

Plays just fine for me

[shell tree]

rip

[summer dew]

i guess if greg didn't have tons of better options shiggy could work there too

[shell tree]

hate discord

🙁

[strange ridge]

Fair

[snow portal]

discord machine broke

[frail glen]

guys what re the chances that yesod is extreme cutoff

[strange ridge]

Lower than Geb

[snow portal]

Most likely not very

[strange ridge]

Unlike Geb, Yesod doesn't screw over strikers

[simple igloo]

woah game without sound

[true shale]

Um... Maybe? I think I remembered that was what the calculation already was. Shigure's numbers aren't that great you know? Also her accuracy is bad, wasn't it?

[frail glen]

but doesn't yeosd require dual dps for p1?

I think it might catch peple offguard since you can only borrow 1 etc etc

[snow portal]

It was just to hear the voicelines

[strange ridge]

Obviously one will run the team with debuffers

[tender eagle]

You can pretty easily just borrow a smika and get by on insane

[strange ridge]

Mainly zomeone who will lower evasion

[true shale]

She was especially bad in Torment also because her basic skill comes out just before white organ, so it's the accuracy debuff that get cleansed off whoever she buffs, instead of the yellow organ debuff.

[celest shard]

asmr

[strange ridge]

Well it definitely won't be Shigure iirc

[snow portal]

Kansha 👍

[strange ridge]

For Torment, at least the wakamo team, they do run DPS + Wakamo

Insane I think you can still get bt because Yesod doesn't have the spiked crit dmg resist there

[true shale]

Well, I mean, if you're doing numbers and it looks good, then sure I'll believe it. I'm not expecting it though, because D.Hina and Shigure are built different.

[strange ridge]

Definitely

Well

[true shale]

Idk if it's really pertinent though

[strange ridge]

If Nexon will finally release Greg Field that is

[tender eagle]

Gimme the outdoor concert

[strange ridge]

-# Just so that they can release raid trophy rack #3

[true shale]

It doesn't seem likely to me that Shigure would see much use case regardless.

[summer dew]

Open air festival hell yeah

[strange ridge]

99% of the time its because D. Hina is more buult

And finding the true dedicated stoat lover is a challenge

[summer dew]

indoor wakaboat in an aquarium/waterpark when

[true shale]

That's not going to change either. Even if Shigure became farmable tomorrow, she still needs to compete with Aru/Akari for a primary striker dps slot.

[frail glen]

there is a joke to be made about indoor wakamo

[strange ridge]

Exactly.

Although truth be told, if there will be an up to torment premiere field greg bomber, it will be NY. Haruna

[true shale]

Also reminder that Perorodzilla Indoor was the 1st terrain.

[torn thorn]

what does shigure even do

I think I asked yesterday

[strange ridge]

Damage

[torn thorn]

But I already forgot

[west perch]

base shigure isn't even a great damage dealer even for greg

[strange ridge]

With burns

[frail glen]

it makes your heat melt

bc how cute her tail is

[tender eagle]

She's basically red csaya

[west perch]

after dhina it's akari because she counteracts the atk buff

[shell tree]

I had to crawl through rivers of broken glass just to watch this on my ipad

[true shale]

Are you sure? NY.Haruna's targeting isn't very good in Greg.

I think it's either still D.Hina or Aru

[strange ridge]

There's a flock of choir members stacked like comb strands.

[west perch]

Akari over Aru btw

[shell tree]

heat
neat

[true shale]

Aru was still used over NY.Haruna on Indoor throw teams

[strange ridge]

I think its going to be fine.

[quiet raft]

I used her to assist my makoto on off-color tor

she wouldn't one-shot the mobs without isak's buff

But also Geburah just has the HP pool of an ST raid. By comparison AA is barely noticeable against Greg's billion+ HP pool

[quiet raft]

So my Fuyu would aid on Greg?

red purple are the tor

Downloading and uploading very large files

[shell tree]

you’ll have to verify your age to see the answer to that question

[frail glen]

wait why

[snow portal]

Discord joke

[shell tree]

Yes

[west perch]

I just have it

[frail glen]

I actually downgraded my internet recently I because I see no use for it

[shell tree]

Also California trying to require it for Linux 😬

[snow portal]

That sounds dumb

[shell tree]

It is incredibly dumb

[summer dew]

require what for linux

[shell tree]

age verification

[frail glen]

It's california

like

idk what to say except it's california

[summer dew]

i must be dumb because i dont understand that statement

it simply doesnt make any sense to my small brain

[shell tree]

the lawmakers are dumb for even proposing that idea in the first place

[summer dew]

linux is the very testament and cornerstone to everything that is free and open for everyone to use without (almost) any restrictions

why the f would you legally require anything to use/download/acquire that

[shell tree]

there’s probably a lot of money involved with the entities that perform the verification

so, basically, corruption

[summer dew]

ah yes ofc

[severe steeple]

I thought California was cool, all the songs seem to be about it

https://tenor.com/view/mutsuki-bluearchive-gif-27128372

[shell tree]

California has not been cool for a long time…

also, I get the joke

[untold tusk]

Are there any cost halving options for special students

[shell tree]

not yet

[summer dew]

ah yes the money ofc

[tender eagle]

Our closest is the cost reduction from kokona and imari

[shell tree]

sroko

[tender eagle]

Tru

[copper crescent]

And dmichiru

[summer dew]

im curious though, would they simply make it illegal to obtain an android phone without age verification?

[snow portal]

Need the D.Michiru

[untold tusk]

I want cost halving for special students so that I could cook a Makoto Chesed team composition

[snow portal]

We don't have that

[copper crescent]

Maybe they'll add someone later on

But it'd either require a new menu

Or be super good

[summer dew]

no no hear me out

[copper crescent]

Where they target all specials

[tender eagle]

Yeah like Asuna and sakurako give buffs

[summer dew]

nvm dont listen to me

[tender eagle]

I could see them being a strong geb unit

[summer dew]

[copper crescent]

No, ideas are welcome

[marble gust]

florida man

[tender eagle]

[copper crescent]

The thing with that is frr

If u cost half all specials on the team it might be op for frr

[tender eagle]

I mean I'm all for it. More team building options makes the game more fun

[marble gust]

i realized special buffers buff both special students so expect the numbers to be lower than a hyperbuffer

[untold tusk]

I researched and Makoto is a 6 cost EX?
How to rotate that then?

[copper crescent]

U just rotate it normally

[strange ridge]

Well rhe special cost xutter however makes Satsuki kind of worse.

[strange ridge]

Rotate as normal

[copper crescent]

Act like she's shasumi or syukari

[summer dew]

something like, it's similar to how uasuna/iwappi works but for next special ex use only

[copper crescent]

Or nonomi

[frail glen]

I wonder if U asuna can be used in pvp

[summer dew]

basically both/all specials get the buff but first one to use consumes it from all

[copper crescent]

It's a good idea yeah

[untold tusk]

6 cost EX would be slow though perhaps I could attempt to rotate that whenever raid reruns

[frail glen]

LIke just run a full tank team + U asuna, then run all dps special

[tender eagle]

They'd probably just half cost all specials one time, which is still very good value

[copper crescent]

Frr specials raid

[unique marten]

Finally got them all

[snow portal]

Surely they can be P1 🧀 units

[unique marten]

[summer dew]

it would need to be at least 4c then if it applies to all specials one-time

[copper crescent]

Frr specials raid might be good

Nvm it'd just be whel

[true shale]

I don't think it's that op, personally. Our current choice of special students isn't that expensive in the first place either.

[summer dew]

otherwise frr would be too strong

[copper crescent]

I see

[untold tusk]

I want to get 60K pyroxenes already why am I only at 58K I have to get more the next month

[copper crescent]

The thing is that it lets u rotate faster than usual

[summer dew]

hmm yea also thinking about most used specials, they are like 3c or 5c, some are 2c

so obviously 3c and 5c benefit lot "less"

[true shale]

I.Mari already gives us 9 cost per subskill. Whilst strong, it doesn't break the content, I think.

Likewise Ui/Seia aren't considered to be troublesome to the balance either, afaik

(You can correct me if you've heard otherwise)

[copper crescent]

No I think you're right

Ui/Seia is balanced

[shell tree]

ui your seia and seia your ui

[true shale]

The key balancing factor in FRR is the limited student slots. If there's no space on the team for a student who 'only' gives extra cost, then there's simply no space.

I think 3-cost EX to give a 1-time 50% discount to each special student is balanced.

Maybe even underpowered... Hard to say

[copper crescent]

Yes

[tender eagle]

It would probably be combined with an atk% sub

But yeah

[summer dew]

it could work yes

[copper crescent]

3 cost seems fine

And also probably ex dmg buff

[untold tusk]

gpd you think I will get Seia in 10?
I will attempt to do exactly that when the rerun happens

[true shale]

I guess this type of thing is how you could nudge the balance incrementally one way or another beyond that.

[strange ridge]

Yeah it is balanced, but what's the scaling buff?

[summer dew]

1-time use is kinda not good for 3c (think nyfuuka non max ex)

[copper crescent]

Gia I think so

[summer dew]

so it could be fine if it was multi target

[strange ridge]

Then try to

[shell tree]

but it applies to multiple specials at once

[true shale]

I didn't mention any, because when Ui released, we more or less ignored her associated Atk+ buff. She was worth the pull for the discount alone.

[tender eagle]

If it's targeting specials then it has to hit both/all4

[strange ridge]

A 3 cost EX to half each special student? Yeah that is fair

[summer dew]

yea

[tender eagle]

There's no way to target a single special unit

[strange ridge]

True and fair enough

[strange ridge]

Depends

[true shale]

For 2 discounts (one per special student), a 3-cost Ui EX is comparable.

[strange ridge]

I mean you can code the skill to buff the first special stusent in order

[untold tusk]

I throw GA ticket on Seia banner next month
For I I never doubt my luck

[strange ridge]

I mean in the lineup roster

[shell tree]

I don’t like these other extraneous buffs that can conflict with the meta buffers

[true shale]

It's slightly stronger because we can put both discounted skills into the same cycle.

[summer dew]
