[true shale]

Nonetheless, Ui's kit is ever so slightly showing its age... which is what leads me to believe that maybe my numbers were underpowered.

[west perch]

shunny decided to go from being 10 to 30 elephs ahead of misaki

[copper crescent]

Well if u give them a buff along with the half cost

It'd be worth

[true shale]

Something to consider when speculating, of course, is that there probably isn't any reason that an EX cost discount has to be exactly 50%, per say.

[copper crescent]

That's true

Rio is -1 cost

Stacking with other cost downs

[tender eagle]

It'd be hard to be worth if it's less though unless it also has another buff attached to it

[summer dew]

what bg2 would you give to Ui?

[true shale]

We could do 1/3, or 2/3.

[marble gust]

rio isnt rly cost down she just change her card to the student and -1 cost

[west perch]

just stack another buff on there

[true shale]

We also have whatever Hikari's system is called

[marble gust]

hikari buff is

[shell tree]

cdmg

[copper crescent]

Lowers her ex cost by 1

When she does her basic

Now she's somewhat seia level

[true shale]

I think a heal could be cool.

[west perch]

ehh, that's weaker than just cdmg buff

[summer dew]

we dont have many cdmg on basics right? like there's bhimari and xserina and uh?

[west perch]

sshizuko

[summer dew]

right

[tender eagle]

Also skikyou

[copper crescent]

Smash

[summer dew]

oh so there is

[strange ridge]

For starters, give Ui a BG with T1 giving 10k HP

[summer dew]

nvm

[strange ridge]

Like holy shit

[marble gust]

tiphy 124 gonna be free

[strange ridge]

3☆ C. Hare has MORE HP than 4☆ Ui

[marble gust]

syukari still squishy though

[untold tusk]

I read SHanako passive+ skill
Is useful to upgrade or not I could not really understand

[summer dew]

she has the lowest hp pool of all red armor strikers btw, even chibiki has more

[marble gust]

unless mreisa covers it

[frail glen]

after 10 seconds of thoughts, I conclude that my previous brilliant idea is acutally not brilliant

[tender eagle]

All shanako skills are worth

[round kayak]

oh hey look who came by today with boshi

[marble gust]

[frail glen]

[copper crescent]

Shanako/hikari subs system seems cool

[untold tusk]

Skill upgrade order is skill EX then normal skill then subskill?

[marble gust]

shanako sub is quite cringe to maintain

i didnt even know it existed till recently

[copper crescent]

But it kinda forces you to run cheaper costs ig

Wtf

[west perch]

if ue40+, enhanced over sub

[round kayak]

what happened to reading arch

[untold tusk]

Subskill least priority?

[west perch]

yep

[tender eagle]

Yeah

[west perch]

I didn't even get it until I did luna kkg

[marble gust]

i mean the atk buff

[true shale]

Oh, I thought subskill was 2nd Priority?

[west perch]

no, it's pretty trash.

[marble gust]

like its quite weird to time that with ur buffs

[true shale]

I thought it was Passive > Sub > Basic?

[west perch]

compared to the rest of her kit

[true shale]

I can see basic being better when considering Kurokage in a vacuum though

[untold tusk]

Let me go reread SHanako subskill then

[true shale]

I'm probably remembering math done from before we knew Kurokage existed

[strange ridge]

Increases atk when the gauge is filled

[summer dew]

ye kkg megatons of def so you want that basic there the very least

[marble gust]

https://tenor.com/view/hanako-blue-archive-swimsuit-cat-throwing-a-brick-meme-gif-10968076510854413618

[west perch]

we use shanako way more often now as another def debuffer

she even shows up in greg cuz her aoe sticks it on main body

[true shale]

To my memory, S.Hanako's first raid use was in Perorodzilla, but we put her on a groggy team where the defence was lower.

[marble gust]

still the only one with basic aoe def down btw

[untold tusk]

Subskill sounds not very useful though that is only my perception

[marble gust]

[summer dew]

it's kinda pain sometimes trying to keep it at around 1-2 skill casts from max gauge

[echo oar]

what kind of monster checks the cafe for the first time with 3 hours left till reset

[copper crescent]

Yukari stacking system was also interesting though it'd be more usable if it was given different numbers

[shell tree]

mine?

[true shale]

There are a few, you're thinking of that fact that it's on an aura, so it stacks.

[marble gust]

oh aura ig

[shell tree]

ah

aoera

[round kayak]

I just got home from school

[marble gust]

still stacks with mine basic

so its cringe

[copper crescent]

Ig it's more about where the crux is placed

[strange ridge]

It doesn't

[marble gust]

wait what

[true shale]

It stacks with everything else we have, iirc?

[marble gust]

u sure

[true shale]

It does stack

[tender eagle]

Every time you fill water gauge she gets her atk buff. So each time she generates a copy

[strange ridge]

Oh wait

I am blind

[tender eagle]

So it has very high up time

[summer dew]

should've done it mid class smh mh

[strange ridge]

[untold tusk]

So is normal skill and then passive+ or is passive+ skill to be upgraded first for SHanako?

[copper crescent]

For aaris, the crux is max stacks, for yukari, it's max and also a number of stacks somewhere in the middle, for satsuki/minori, the crux is at max cost

[round kayak]

:auidens:

[echo oar]

hell yeah brother

[true shale]

I think it's generally better to avoiding hitting max stacks on Yukari, tbh, since that usually indicates an overflow.

[copper crescent]

Yeah

Yukari is the only one ik where you don't use her at max stacks

[summer dew]

this is a good starting point but you can opt in to max ns before ss (flip them)

[round kayak]

also spotted shiggy in the next tab lmao

[echo oar]

I just started to work on my nodoka bonds for real

[copper crescent]

And ig shanako but that's more number of ex rather than dmg

[marble gust]

i rerolled for onodoka

[copper crescent]

Maybe the design is made that way to keep the game simple since yukari isn't as popular bc her kit seems too complicated for most people

[true shale]

Well, I guess it's more that any number above ten is fine, in a vacuum. We obviously have to go for it if she's at max.

[copper crescent]

Yeah

[true shale]

She doesn't get anything for going to max, like how I.Mine does.

[copper crescent]

Ah

[untold tusk]

I thought subskill was least important why the website says 5/7/M/M I am not better to upgrade until 5/M/M/7?

[tender eagle]

Subskill is a lot of atk

38.3% at 10

[copper crescent]

57mm is for shanako's dps, 5mm7 is for her def down utility

[untold tusk]

The normal skill not better?

[tender eagle]

For kurokage it is but most content no

[true shale]

The priority order changes depending on the content you are upgrading her for.

[tender eagle]

Most of her power is in her spammable aoe nukes

[summer dew]

you should end up maxing her anyway, so it's just matter of time and resources on which order you wanna do it

[true shale]

For Kurokage, basic skill is more important.

For Chesed, PvP, etc. subskill may be better.

[untold tusk]

I want to upgrade SHanako for enemies sections on Chesed

[tender eagle]

Subskill and passive it is then

[copper crescent]

57mm

[summer dew]

my shanako is 57mm atm but when kkg hits she will be mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[true shale]

I'm not keeping up with the roadmap. Do we have an upcoming Chesed somewhere?

[copper crescent]

When kkg hits she will be mmmm mmm ue60 b100 lbmmm

No we don't

[tender eagle]

Just the deca event for now

[round kayak]

nope

[copper crescent]

Gia is talking about hypothetical chesed

[round kayak]

unless you mean world raid

then ye

[copper crescent]

Always preparing in advance

[untold tusk]

I might end up with 5/7/7/M SHanako if not enough artifacts though is that enough for Insane?

[summer dew]

i am not that whale, a humble mmmm mmm ue50 b30 lb25atk should be fine

[copper crescent]

I see

[frail glen]

whaleplay discussion

[round kayak]

also @orchid axle is this one of your alts

[true shale]

Okay, as long as Gia-chan understands that it's generally recommended to hold onto liquid resources until the specific need arises...

[orchid axle]

That's @vestal delta

-# (sorry I pinged you here)

[untold tusk]

So anyways the other day I upgraded IWappi to skill EX 5

[summer dew]

we have told that to her multiple times and i think she understands the value of reports etc atm

oh nvm

[tender eagle]

[orchid axle]

Kaijuplay discussion

[shell tree]

very funny

I witnessed it

https://preview.redd.it/jfuve0is7jj21.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=c88cfbdbd09b3a358fbdd760d0604bd4e5e60558

[west perch]

you forgot to edit the template

[summer dew]

very funny

[shell tree]

at least it wasn’t nodoka

[summer dew]

i was part of it

[untold tusk]

I liked IWappi so thought I might as well upgrade to skills 5/4/4/M

[west perch]

lv4 basic

[summer dew]

stopppp

[shell tree]

lvl 4 is free

[copper crescent]

Nah by the time I finish gpd would've been in a different conversation

[tender eagle]

You'll use her for a future geburah at least

But yeah could be more useful somewhere else first

[west perch]

it means she's getting frozen if they're gonna do pinball

[round kayak]

gea what are you doing

[shell tree]

huh?

[round kayak]

its fine there should be lvl 4 basic wappi pinball strats

[tender eagle]

I doubt they're doing pinball if they don't know that

[round kayak]

^

[true shale]

It would be interesting to see a player who just so happens to develop a special dps hyperbuffer setup before their striker dps supports.

[untold tusk]

I only doing Insane Geburah

[shell tree]

is that boshi social distancing

[summer dew]

if you want to prebuild units without raid being there you should at least stop at something very cheap like 3444 at most

[round kayak]

if you mean being strict on wappi's basic investment then yes

[west perch]

3444 isn't cheap even for newbies tbh

[shell tree]

I see

ex3 is expensive, yeah

[summer dew]

well cheaper than 5xxm

[round kayak]

different breakpoints = diffrerent timings/rots

[west perch]

early on, whites are expensive

[shell tree]

whites…

[west perch]

[summer dew]

hmm wait yeah shes been on 4 months or so now

[round kayak]

white la-

[true shale]

Blue artifacts were the first resource wall I hit as a new player, I'm not sure how it is these days.

[summer dew]

gia dont build anyone

[untold tusk]

I did not even upgrade SHoshino subskill to 10 yet truly my decisions are..............

[round kayak]

wao first time meeting a dhina on my bracket

[tender eagle]

I mean it helps but if you don't have the resources it's not the end of the world

[true shale]

Take it slow and steady, it's no good to rush these things.

[shell tree]

dhina is still used in some specific counters this season

[summer dew]

there's the tsubaki funi thing

have you seen it

[shell tree]

no

[true shale]

Hmm... Yes, I was given a counter using D.Hina for a common defence in my bracket.

Idk why it works, but it does

[summer dew]

dhina uses ex > enemy tsubo taunts > dhina was immune and only one able to act > dhina shoots

[copper crescent]

Tsubaki resets auto to use the leftmost ex again

[shell tree]

until your first card is shun and your second card is dhina

[untold tusk]

My decisions are interesting I would say
I have maximum gears UE50 5/7/7/M MKArisu now at least

[shell tree]

ahh, I heard of this. Too bad tsubaki isn’t on def this season

[true shale]

Hmm... We're thinking of a different defence, I guess. I don't use a Shun in my case.

What's your counter for?

[shell tree]

the counter changed mid-season

the one I’m aware of. It no longer uses shun

[round kayak]

you can still use her if you want

[summer dew]

the strat is still kinda gamble

but worth the memes

[true shale]

The defence I was thinking of was Kuroko, Iori, Shun, Hoshino, Nagisa, S.Shiroko

[shell tree]

the counter is for the def that consists of, in order: reisa, kuroko, marina, nutsuki | sroko, sayane my bad, I got it mixed up. Dhina is for the one you mentioned; mika is for the one that’s crossed out here

gah, my bad

[shell tree]

yes, it’s this one

I mixed it up in my head

[true shale]

Oh cool. Share it!

super eimi

[true shale]

This one goes D.Hina, Kuroko, Iori, Haruka, Hibiki, Saki.
Actually I think maybe S.Renge is supposed to be in A1, now that I think of it.
I use D.Hina and Utaha as a downgraded version, but it still wins most of the time.

[west perch]

huh. y'know I didn't even realise that.
She's one of the only ones where her sub is better than enhanced.

[true shale]

I think there's only one defence of this type in my bracket, and I tri-tank it. I'm curious to see the proper counter though.

[summer dew]

double damage + 200% basics prof going stronk

[west perch]

even Aru basic 1-shots the final nero

[copper crescent]

Why that pic looks so epic

[west perch]

wait why did nobody freak out over spoilers this time

[summer dew]

yeah that is a prime example of dps = damage per screenshot

[pallid inlet]

Eh

[west perch]

I sent that pic ystd and everyone couldn't see the nero

[shell tree]

Yes, this is the one I use now, as well. The old, “outdated” counter for this same def was: dhina, kuroko, shun, mika | hibiki, utaha

[pallid inlet]

Too much aura

[shell tree]

yeah, I’m not willing to raise srenge yet lol

[true shale]

Eimi's basic is epic. There's no other secret!

[pallid inlet]

I won’t do it ever

Until she’s farmable

[steady prairie]

might need to dump a few eligma on her for yesod tho

[true shale]

Oh, I see. I didn't know that.

[steady prairie]

gotta prep for around ue30 srenge

[west perch]

damn

that's only if I'm skill issued enough

[shell tree]

Yeah, it was from an old memory of having shun brick go straight into dhina ex LOL

[west perch]

I'd prefer raising nagusa

[true shale]

Is there an even newer one? Or not? I don't keep in touch with real-time PvP meta

[shell tree]

and I was like, “it’s so over”

[true shale]

That so? What happens?

Where does A3 Shun even go in the usual case?

[shell tree]

shun cost boost doesn’t happen, then dhina just stands there. And I get rekt

I don’t remember where shun goes

[true shale]

Oh, because I guess the D2 Iori can kill A4 Mika after A2 Kuroko goes down?

Or is it something to do with D3 Shun EX going for A4 Mika?

[shell tree]

I mean, I just lose too much cost

[true shale]

(Idk the atk ratios or anything. I'm just guessing)

Does A4 Mika beat D4 Hoshino in isolation?

[ripe mason]

How does shun brick when you don’t run iwak

[shell tree]

is my memory failing me

https://tenor.com/view/so-old-gif-27277116

[steady prairie]

she shouldn't, but shun into dhina would still kills your run a fair bit

[true shale]

So do you know what is the counter for this team, then?

[shell tree]

Would you like to see it

[true shale]

Yes please, why not.

[shell tree]

It’s not “the” counter, btw. It’s just one of them. I didn’t have the proper students raised for the other counters in the spreadsheet. Gimme a sec

[true shale]

I haven't seen it in a while, but I think I'd have run something like Kuroko [tank], Hoshino, [another tank?], Minori, S.Shiroko

Maybe A2 Haruka, A3 Kanoe?

Oh wait, I think the one in my bracket was using Saki, actually

Idk if S.Ayane makes things any different.

Maybe I'd try A3 Eimi if S.Ayane caused trouble at the end.

[true shale]

Oh wow, haha. Thanks.

What do I do instead of Saki here? Is she for taking out NY.Mutsuki?

[shell tree]

I think so

Let me pull up the spreadsheet

[true shale]

Is sharing the spreadsheet okay?

[summer dew]

wait actually no way they balded this exact shit for max stab for the screenshot

[true shale]

I assume it’s not this one

[true shale]

That's just the damage cap.

[summer dew]

ohh

[stable mulch]

I thought they removed the cap

[true shale]

There is a new dmg cap, and a new method for reaching it.

Once past 4M true dmg, a series of soft caps dampen the additional impact of further true dmg by increments.

However, there is still a hard dmg cap at 10.97M - 1

[steady prairie]

isn't this one for blind attacking iirc

[shell tree]

Scroll down to row 630 https://docs.qq.com/sheet/DY0N3dkFOeG1IVHBn?tab=BB08J2&nlc=1

[true shale]

Ah, that sounds right. My knowledge of PvP meta specifics are barebones, this season.

[summer dew]

i see, makes sense now that im looking at the calculator numbers

[marble gust]

didnt expect beimi to hit dmg cap

[true shale]

Wow! The world of PvP theory is amazing, haha.

[shell tree]

yuuka would be proud

[true shale]

I'm sure that the JFD mechanics are doing a lot of the heavy lifting, in this case.

[summer dew]

i gave yuuka today her calculator

[marble gust]

raids are 7 days of content and look how much comps people cooked

[summer dew]

i had forgotten

[marble gust]

imagine pvp content at 6 months

[shell tree]

and the salt

[true shale]

That's fair, I would be no different if I could mock PvP in some manner.

[shell tree]

being in a mafia is 👌

[true shale]

For players who are serious about it, I expect they have no qualms about using pyro to refresh their tickets.

[frail glen]

this further encouraged me to learn multiple languages

have they made one for the upcoming season yet?

[shell tree]

I'm not aware of one

[true shale]

Btw, nobody has determined if that number has any significance, so if you have any ideas, feel free to make suggestions.

[summer dew]

It might be simply an arbitrarily chosen hard cap by the devs

[true shale]

Idk if anybody has successfully curve-fitted the dmg progression graph since I last checked either.

[true shale]

It might, but it's a strange number to pick, for sure.

Previous damage caps were 1M and 4M, by comparison.

[shell tree]

they superimposed binah's neck onto the image of a graph

and then chose the number that way

[young lotus]

soon

[summer dew]

4m is close to 32bit int overflow so it makes sense

2^32-1

[true shale]

Here it is, btw, if anybody is interested in trying.

[shell tree]

imagine BA being limited by that

[true shale]

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/qjo2y9r90o

[shell tree]

omg it's binah

I knew it

[young lotus]

I NEED MORE GIFTS NEXOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

MORE

GIFTS

[true shale]

Is 10.97M - 1 in some way close to another number that's relevant to computing/programming?

[summer dew]

No it's not likely been a platform limitation, just that unity uses c# that is strongly typed

[marble gust]

computers doesnt use base 10

[summer dew]

Not that i know of

[marble gust]

so prolly just a number

[true shale]

All I've got is that 1097 is e^7 to the nearest whole number. But I wasn't successful in fitting a logarithmic curve to that graph last time...

[marble gust]

no the e^ on ur calculator is just x10^

its not e

[shell tree]

https://tenor.com/view/marikiplier-e-meme-lord-farquaad-gif-22138504

[true shale]

We don't really know the thought process behind implementing a progressively stricter soft-cap, only to end at yet another hard cap.

[marble gust]

they can do whatever as long no one is hitting that cap

they changed the 4mil cap somewhere after hasumi(?) hitting it

[true shale]

What? No, I'm not talking about a calculator, only about math.

[marble gust]

oh lol

but i dont think e has something to do

either

[true shale]

I'm just putting it out there if anybody has curious mind, that's all.

[marble gust]

neither was 4mil some computer number

[true shale]

From a pragmatic perspective, this is fine.

[marble gust]

they could have a system than bans someone when they deal 2 hundred quadrillion dmg and you wouldnt know

[true shale]

You mean in the sense that it will never trigger in-game? Yeah.

[true shale]

Yeah, we can generalise that statement as "They can do whatever they want."

We hit that damage cap on the first day it was implemented.

The mystery is that they went for an atypically convoluted implementation of said cap.

[candid gust]

uhhhhhhh I just skipped battle

[true shale]

@odd geyser Since we were just talking about PvP, what am I doing for next season?

Is multi-tank still a good idea?

And if so, which tanks?

[odd geyser]

Tsubaki and Eimi

SHanako

[true shale]

Is Hoshino still a good choice? Or are we back to Yuuka/Miyako?

[candid gust]

back to evasion meta

Eimi because of the mechanism

[odd geyser]

3rd tank/Shun - Hibiki, Saki, Yakumo, MReisa, DMichiru

[true shale]

So second best blue/red tanks are Atsuko and Marina, is it?

[candid gust]

I thank Dajin for the UNeru tech blessing.

[candid gust]

Marina sucks here

Atsuko is okay

But tsubaki prefered

[steady prairie]

we're playing until timeout, so probably atsuko yuuka etc

[true shale]

So if I wanted to take 2 red tanks, the second one is Haruka?

[steady prairie]

it's also gonna be lots of heals

[odd geyser]

I hate Tsubaki so much

[candid gust]

yes

That's a great idea

Haruka is also bulky

[candid gust]

hehe iwak can't kill her

hehehehehee

[true shale]

Is there a better option that Atsuko too? Or is she still 2nd best after Tsubaki?

[odd geyser]

If you want a 2nd red tank its Miyako

[candid gust]

Yes only after tsubaki

[true shale]

Really? I'd still go Eimi + Miyako even if I were running into double yellow specials + Iori?

[odd geyser]

Eimi only survives b/c of the gimmick

Wtf is Iori

[true shale]

Idk, I just want to know what's the guideline for if somebody has a gaping red-dps deficit in their defence.

[odd geyser]

I take Marina if you really need

[odd geyser]

That's extremely rare

SHanako is all the red dps you need

😟

[true shale]

Is S.Ayane still strong on the next season?

[odd geyser]

No

[true shale]

What about Utaha?

[odd geyser]

I had fun with Utaha and UNeru at the start of the season

[true shale]

Okay

[odd geyser]

Hibiki is just a demon tho

Reaches utaha/sayane

[true shale]

S.Shiroko is still pretty good, right? Or is she worth replacing with a non-D.Michiru healer?

[odd geyser]

I almost never use cost sub unless im fishing for funny clips

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1028418387480674414/1472995859087233318/aaris_pvp.mp4?ex=69a2718b&is=69a1200b&hm=4bc44fce8413162a8fde19080dcc36ad5ecd08eb64fcb461f137db482a0ce4ca&

[true shale]

Oh, so is that freed-up special slot going to be an extra dps, or extra healer, generally speaking?

[odd geyser]

Yeah, my goto pair is mreisa hibiki

DMichiru warps the season

[true shale]

Okay, I'm starting to get the idea

[pliant kelp]

is the next pvp season about heal or what

[true shale]

Is the strategy something like: Break down one enemy tank, -> Kill enemy backline, -> Heal-stall to win via HP% ?

[odd geyser]

Stall

[pliant bluff]

Eimi + hibiki + dmichiru

[steady prairie]

500% hp on everything

[pliant bluff]

Surely eimi can die

Surely

[pliant kelp]

wtf

[steady prairie]

I mean you saw that eimi getting oneshot by aaris

[pliant bluff]

I mean aaris is not that hard to deal with

[steady prairie]

the mechanic alone make me want to just skip but next season is so diverse it's scary

[odd geyser]

aaris takes forever to charge. she only works if she's hidden from SHanako + Hibiki + Saki

[subtle kestrel]

[odd geyser]

unrealistic in most fights

the general gameplan is kill their shanako before you lose your dps and win by hp advantage

[true shale]

Wait, is S.Hanako really enough to take down Eimi alone? Does she need help from Hibiki/Shun/etc?

[odd geyser]

if you keep your shanako alive the entire fight and deal with the enemy's dps, you win via hp advantage even if you don't full KO

[true shale]

So S.Hanako still does enough dmg to kill the enemy backline, I'm understanding?

[odd geyser]

yes

[true shale]

That must mean that Shun EX is still deadly too, if left alone, I'd think?

[odd geyser]

even if she doesn't kill the backline, it's usually significant enough for Hibiki/Saki to cleanup any stragglers

[pure vessel]

@odd geyser arisu latte

[subtle kestrel]

Next season is not about wiping its all about hp% gaming the 1 student counter is probably like 100% wr if used correctly

[pure vessel]

you're gonna get it right

[odd geyser]

yeah, Shun is deadly if you can hide her away

[pure vessel]

:^)

[pliant kelp]

so the next season is just about shun and shanako?
and whoever pulled their shanako card first?

[true shale]

If I'm going blind with three tanks, is the default that I'll take Shun, or S.Hanako?

[pure vessel]

maid

[odd geyser]

#💬gameplay-discussion message

[subtle kestrel]

Thats like season 7

[odd geyser]

the next season is about dealing with their SHanako

[round kayak]

[simple igloo]

is that dev valentine letter to players

[odd geyser]

yakumo is the most tilting special to deal with. I just avoid anyone running her

yakumo + dmichiru = noty

[true shale]

How so?

Is it like an Iroha-magnitude change?

[subtle kestrel]

Taunter last boss

[candid gust]

YUUKA SOLO

what a chad strat

[odd geyser]

the role compression of healer + sshiroko is perfect for the season.
You don't compromise for a special slot

[odd geyser]

is that actually stable

or is it only dmichiru viable

[candid gust]

as long as you kill their backline

[candid gust]

there's satsuko ver for it

yuuka satsuko hibiki?

[odd geyser]

[candid gust]

yea just take out dps and you are fine tbh

[odd geyser]

its not like there's positions to worry about so I'll give it a shot next time I encounter it

[candid gust]

yea it only works for yakumo user

[true shale]

What's the reasoning behind the cost boost if it's a stall-centric meta?

[candid gust]

me when satsuko heals 100k hp

[true shale]

Is it something about fever time?

[candid gust]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1299036840816410706/1474718890905960519/shocked-emoji-shocked-computer-meme.gif

[candid gust]

debuffs

[true shale]

What are the effects of fever time, actually?

[candid gust]

uhhh

[odd geyser]

shanako spam fever time will leave you at lower hp than them

if she survives that long

[candid gust]

dmichiru yakumo

[pallid inlet]

Def and evasion debuff

[odd geyser]

this is what I'm kinda worried about ngl. I've seen DMichiru keep SHanako alive from Hibiki basics

[candid gust]

same

[pallid inlet]

How impactful is that

[candid gust]

remember shanako?

[odd geyser]

yuuka starts dying

[candid gust]

hits even harder when fever time

due to the debuff

[true shale]

So, D.Michiru fixes this... how exactly?

[candid gust]

she heals shanako to kax

so you can't just hibiki her

[odd geyser]

the dmichiru player shoots more

[pallid inlet]

Shanako alive

[candid gust]

and like i said it only works if their def have yakumo

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/HB9t2WwXwAAkILw.gif

[true shale]

Ah, I see. So it's the cost+ subskill, rather than the basic, is it?

[pallid inlet]

Also isn’t yakumo not very good in PvP?

[candid gust]

wrong server bud

[odd geyser]

yeah

[candid gust]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1299036840816410706/1474718890905960519/shocked-emoji-shocked-computer-meme.gif

[true shale]

[candid gust]

????

bro...

[pallid inlet]

Centroids and stuff

[subtle kestrel]

I only seen her used in pvp

[candid gust]

the cc bro

thinks twice

[pallid inlet]

What about it

[odd geyser]

if I could just gamble with my own SHanako against SHanako + Yakumo, I wouldn't be complaining right now

[pallid inlet]

Not like everyone gets pulled in

[candid gust]

And shanako:

you get it don't you

[pallid inlet]

There’s a bigger problem

[candid gust]

literally an angle for shanako

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/HB9t2WwXwAAkILw.gif

[pallid inlet]

That’s if all the targets move

[summer dew]

what the hell are you cooking now

[steady prairie]

it's 510 aoe

[odd geyser]

the only way you stop that is with someone like utaha

[pallid inlet]

Or just not be in range

[true shale]

Okay, thanks for the advice. That should be a good start until I figure out what bracket I'm in.

[candid gust]

Dam you stopped using nitro like amashizo

[severe steeple]

utaha preventing your repo from working finally has an upside

[candid gust]

ig i will copy you 2

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1118075748599730276/1440406750661447931/EX09_mari.gif

[pallid inlet]

Isn’t it 5 targets that yakumo can pull

[candid gust]

Utaha is 4

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1031915219926138940/1475749093199315026/fuCSF9Z.gif

[summer dew]

i've reverted to f2p discord too :OME:

[shell tree]

so I take it shanako survives from saki basic?

[odd geyser]

yeah if that saki is 3*

[candid gust]

nice deco bug

[shell tree]

how about ue50 with atk lb

[odd geyser]

dead af

[shell tree]

good

[odd geyser]

just make sure saki is targeting her

[candid gust]

dam people i knew suddenly stopped using nitro omg

[odd geyser]

[candid gust]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/HB9t2WwXwAAkILw.gif

[summer dew]

yeah also the old theme is still in effect here

[steady prairie]

nitro is worse than endfield monthlies

[candid gust]

:worried:

[steady prairie]

[shell tree]

surely she'll have the lowest hp

[candid gust]

nitro is worse than 3 meals

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/796251250827329536/1468224682963763261/HAOQwffbYAAsVcG.gif

[odd geyser]

[odd geyser]

there's a reason why I started experimenting with Yuzu

[summer dew]

oh we have it on sticker

[shell tree]

that yuzu basic... I was surprised the first time I saw it

[candid gust]

as official yes

[summer dew]

perfect

[shell tree]

frick, I haven't been buying yuzu elephs

[candid gust]

your profile effect is gone tho

[candid gust]

🤔

[summer dew]

[candid gust]

[severe steeple]

[candid gust]

[lyric hatch]

Just buy a house

[summer dew]

[candid gust]

we are ba-general 2

[pallid inlet]

Let’s discuss

[shell tree]

you're not even homeless!

[pallid inlet]

Why jfd is evil

[summer dew]

i have a house and a mortgage

[candid gust]

i got your card

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/897744969769549875/1475327024074723542/SatsukiPose3D.gif

[summer dew]

[pallid inlet]

Wow

[steady prairie]

actually is my deco still there

lol it still is

[summer dew]

[candid gust]

nitro one yes, you can't just use it...?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1118075748599730276/1440406750661447931/EX09_mari.gif

saukko's one is bugged i think

[odd geyser]

[gleaming wren]

im a fucking idiot

[shell tree]

I have a house and no mortgage

[candid gust]

i am not used to crystark being f2p

[summer dew]

it's f2p if the money is not yours

so i live in a f2p house

[candid gust]

true

so i am f2p and so is my BA account

no money spent

pure f2p

wtf is luxurious furniture and bp+ title

😟

[summer dew]

alright time to get some overpriced pizza

[odd geyser]

....I will get it for Aris

[gleaming wren]

i started at rank 10

[shell tree]

can you live in it

[summer dew]

if i order enough i can build a cardboard house

[gleaming wren]

but the other day I tried to climb up and someone else attacked me when I attacked another guy

and couldn't climb back up and got 11-100

[severe steeple]

wow look at this whel getting battle pass on both jp and global

[gleaming wren]

so I claimed rank 10 today and figured i wouldnt get rank 1

[shell tree]

tfw I switched to vodka to save money

[gleaming wren]

anyway what the fuck happened here

[steady prairie]

atp make your own dough tbh

[summer dew]

i just take my adhd meds to save money from buying food

[shell tree]

real

[severe steeple]

uni student hack, make pizza with tortillas instead of pizza base

[steady prairie]

iori hibiki first 2 card ssg

[shell tree]

the uni student hack is adderall

(just kidding)

[candid gust]

idek what happened

i just uneru every skip battle

🤡

[summer dew]

you won

[shell tree]

you did it, goku, mmm

[west perch]

atoki

no longer a dhina gift

[shell tree]

shame

same

oh, atoki

hmm. I'm building a priority list of students to bond up to b50

After fest + alts, I'm all out of ideas

[west perch]

no one you like?

[shell tree]

I can like them at lower than b50

😌

[pliant kelp]

whel behavior

[shell tree]

(this is why I'm a fake fan)

[odd geyser]

[west perch]

I'm not even getting neru + alts to b50 so

[shell tree]

at least og hoshino's b50

[pallid inlet]

After iwak and mreisa b50 I might go for fest units b50

[candid gust]

pls bless me dajin

[shell tree]

I only bond for meta

😔

[west perch]

I'm actively spreading out my gifts so I'm not sure who'll even get b50 first beyond aaris b150

[shell tree]

Lmao "Sarah". Giving off the same energy as someone just named, "Steve"

[odd geyser]

[pallid inlet]

How long would it take to get a b50

[odd geyser]

aaris took me less than a day

[candid gust]

3-4 months

not that hard nowadays

[pallid inlet]

Very different numbers

[shell tree]

depends on your approach and how the math works out for that approach

I mainly bond through furniture

[pallid inlet]

If I buy out all the gifts from event shop?

[west perch]

lol no

not even close

[shell tree]

not even close

😮

jinx

[pallid inlet]

What about that and crafting gifts?

[west perch]

buy out gifts, headpat 7+ a day, craft node 3, and then use all jfd mats to craft gift boxes

then it'd be 3-4 months. I think.

[shell tree]

I put 8 copies of each target student's furniture in my cafes

[pallid inlet]

To be able to afford node 3 regularly I’d need to have a whole lot of excess mats

[west perch]

yep

[candid gust]

oh hey a random ue40

[west perch]

haruka's is nice

[shell tree]

haruka is loyal

based

[gleaming wren]

ok

125 coins it is then

[candid gust]

balls

[pallid inlet]

Trex statement

[shell tree]

balls is trex

[west perch]

I just don't craft gift selectors anymore

[pallid inlet]

Is gift selectors just not that good?

[shell tree]

I haven't sacrificed any gifts to fusion crafting yet

[worldly sun]

If you’re focussing 1 student you get 50% more bond xp fusing

It’s part of the reason you never skip gold fusion stones

[pallid inlet]

When do I use the purple gifts?

Or rather which ones

[worldly sun]

When they favourite them

Obv

[shell tree]

beloved

(being pedantic)

[pallid inlet]

180 and 240 xp ones?

[shell tree]

heart eyes

[pallid inlet]

240 xp

Cool

[shell tree]

some students don't have a heart eyes purple gift

I always double-check schaledb.com when gifting

[worldly sun]

Why is this all new to you

[west perch]

they're only good if you are targeting 1 student

[pallid inlet]

It’s not new

I’m just not sure on the exact details if I’m trying to optimise everything

[shell tree]

unfortunate... I go for throughput over latency, minimizing waste

[worldly sun]

If you’re bond chasing then make selectors of gifts you won’t use
If you’re not then just gift only good to whoever

[candid gust]

pathing™

[shell tree]

how do your like your bracket, peav

[candid gust]

uneru bracket / 10

[worldly sun]

Even when fusing I try to avoid fest unit gifts

[shell tree]

frick

[shell tree]

my bracket has all ue50 reisa in top 10

[pallid inlet]

Ones that no fest units use?

[worldly sun]

No?

[steady prairie]

who gaf about fes bond lol

[pallid inlet]

Then what

[worldly sun]

You don’t smash ones that you can give to fest dps

Ideally

[shell tree]

imagine if slurs were allowed in real life only if they were yelled at the top of one’s lungs

[frail glen]

you know ceratin someone with burger king crown on an airplane tried...

[shell tree]

that sounds vaguely familiar

[summer dew]

looks s3

[fluid island]

3

[shell tree]

gotcha

[polar orbit]

3 at lvl 70, pretty good

nice job

[fluid island]

So far, successful w my bid for all 3s.

[summer dew]

at your level aim to 334 with a nice borrow, but you need a tank to survive the explooosionns

[shell tree]

are you noooticing?

[polar orbit]

i think they go for 3 only every time

[fluid island]

Yeah, I'm not big boi enough yet for a 4

[polar orbit]

4 is almost always free with a simple borrow

[shell tree]

even if you borrowed a dps?

[summer dew]

no actually your shoshi could survive tanking

no wait it was borrow nezo

nvm

[polar orbit]

you can do a 4 with a tank + borrow dps ez pz

[shell tree]

do these sweepers have an atk color? I forgot

[tall glacier]

yeah experiment a lil

[summer dew]

no

eva tanks are slightly better in this jfd because the explosion hurts

tsubo has bag and is eva so try that

[ancient star]

Is no one going to suggest "just use S.Hanako" for an almost free Stage 4?

[fluid island]

Nezo?

[pallid inlet]

S hoshino

[summer dew]

gpd joke

nezo = s.hoshino

[steady prairie]

just use nagisa

[fluid island]

Funnily enough, I tried that

[shell tree]

bro, my b45 boshi at ue40 with LB sometimes dies before the end

these things hurt lol

[pallid inlet]

Bring a healer?

[shell tree]

I can just reset

who needs a healer when you can just have hoshino as the sacrificial lamb

That Hanako right there is 2* level 1

[summer dew]

#💬gameplay-discussion message

[opaque dagger]

The key is borrowing Nagisa

[shell tree]

why hanako

[spice basin]

Just shanako it

[opaque dagger]

Because all of them are level 1 anyway

Hanako has Def buff on Basic

[ancient star]

Underinvested student

[summer dew]

thats some lvl70 sensei challenge acc i think

[opaque dagger]

This kinda doesn't work without Seia Swimsuit

[spice basin]

True

[frozen chasm]

I know it doesnt work like that

but its kinda funny

when you kisaki + rio koharu

but the heal isnt boosted to an obscene level

[opaque dagger]

I made this acc to do farmable clears because my Maki and Tsubaki are getting too strong

[fluid island]

https://tenor.com/view/money-gif-11954040389595096870

[opaque dagger]

If every farmable (and Ako) is level 75 3444 T4 gear, people won't have excuses that they cannot copy/emulate

[steady prairie]

where's the heal based on atk student

[ancient star]

It would be cool if it worked yeah

[shell tree]

I hate how placing your cursor beyond the boundary into the sweeper spawn messes with your ex skill activation

It’s messed up many a run

[summer dew]

it's ass

[shell tree]

so ass

[summer dew]

in every sweeper drill

[opaque dagger]

Defense Drills suck

Remove from rotation pls

[summer dew]

you suck

[fluid island]

So ass it's literally (every playable that is physically bottom heavy)

[opaque dagger]

Wow, so rood

[frozen chasm]

jfd suck

[summer dew]

i like bot drills

[frozen chasm]

remove it from rotation

[fluid island]

Nah

[summer dew]

your sfoob needs some love

[odd geyser]

she's the only one I'd consider raising but too bad, she's too expensive

[summer dew]

valkyrie is free

[tall glacier]

slaccer sfoob is lore accurate anyway

[summer dew]

and she uses jfd t4

[tall glacier]

[frail glen]

but credits isn't free

[odd geyser]

that's not what I mean

needs ligma to function

[summer dew]

this is f2pjin we talking about

[odd geyser]

[summer dew]

he has all the creds

but ligma indeed is not free

[fluid island]

Speaking of raising units
Y'all got more of that Aether stuff?

[odd geyser]

enough to craft with

ue60 satsuko will do that

[summer dew]

no, my satsuko and oshiggy drank all

[opaque dagger]

So much damage

[frail glen]

btw why mari used for yesod p2?

I know saki is used for cc

but why mari

[summer dew]

shiggy definitely mixed some drinks from the aether

no doubts

BG2 Basic Def Down

would hiyori work, she is defense down too no?

[odd geyser]

I used her shield but I had poverty tier hp invest

[fluid island]

Aether-laced kompot...

[odd geyser]

pretty sure mimori cares about the sub + shield on luna tho

[opaque dagger]

Yea the HP sub + Shield is stonks if your team too squishy

Luna is a different story

[fluid island]

Reminds me, I do have my own OShig that I rarely use nowadays

[frail glen]

I guess gotta wait for mock to find out

[opaque dagger]

Using Mari on Ins feels like poverty choice

[frail glen]

I am kinda hesitant on leveling mari if I am honest

[opaque dagger]

Which happens sometimes

[frail glen]

trinity mats + one time use

[odd geyser]

eh

[odd geyser]

nah, mari's been one of my top invests this raid cycle

Goz, Peroro, and Yesod so far I've used her on main team

[frail glen]

but that's for luna
humble me just wanna clear tor

[summer dew]

tharuna would work with bg2 too but she dont have much use outside yesod either

[odd geyser]

funny enough, same raids I've used THaruna

[frail glen]

maybe I should slacc insane?

[fluid island]

Recently got my own T Haruna too

[frail glen]

[odd geyser]

[summer dew]

[frail glen]

[summer dew]

havent built serina no can do

[fleet narwhal]

cause these "people" are hyper aggressive

[old rose]

rio for def down

[odd geyser]

looks like you have barely any time to spare on that p2

[old rose]

using borrow on p2 is something

[summer dew]

im perfectly insane thanks for asking

[frail glen]

I ma ue60 rio and boshino if no time left

I will bring clean up

[steady prairie]

what if you just mreisa this p2

[frail glen]

then idk who to use p1

I have no aoe heal

[steady prairie]

and get through p1 another way

[frail glen]

mreisa is quite literally my first aoe heal invest in special slot

[summer dew]

[frail glen]

i think I overestimate my serina invest

[summer dew]
