not wanting to "waste" time in literature class yea this isnt rly for you

[vivid zephyr]

I've had people screenshotting my wrong opinions on GPH/GPD and pulling it out on me everytime I got into an argument (friendly), so its traumatizing me to do that

[lone widget]

ur pyro will cry

[untold tusk]

I would like to have MReisa though am fine with just having MSuzumi

[lilac grove]

reading = wasting time
gn fellas i'm out

[odd geyser]

How do I yesod

[lone widget]

ngl idk who u wanna pull at this point

[echo oar]

dang, who are the culprits?? I've had tons of bad opinions and people haven't done that to me yet

[tall glacier]

Causew updated his google doc with yesod if you like reading

[tender olive]

Oh i already saw this earlier... I find it complicated

[round kayak]

[stuck valley]

So I’d be not pulling for like 2 months and I’ll be happy

[untold tusk]

There are some slight variations though the basic plan is the same
The plan was always to skip Seia and be costdownless

[lone widget]

hmm yes

but tbh it's not about who better, it's more like mreisa will guarantee a rerun, meanwhile tyuuker is a bit more ehhh...

so i would advice skip mreisa if u re too broke rn

u gonna live fine without hot healers for awhile

she was a good option back then but i don't think onod was a prio reroll target

your fate is determined by whether your first message was in main chats or gameplay hub🦖

C.Fuuka? You must be from the future huh

[marble gust]

how ur only 200 days older than me

Man I was supposed to be a casual player when I first thought of moving here in BA

Smh my life choices

[lone widget]

are u a casual

[round kayak]

[opaque dagger]

Same, I wanted to just slacc and do ooh la la things with students

[round kayak]

Kinda

[opaque dagger]

And then Nexon said no

[round kayak]

[lone widget]

im still casual tho

[stuck valley]

I get it now
Just be a casual and no bald

[opaque dagger]

What can I say, Nexon made me bald

[lone widget]

yeh

play this game for cutie

not for bald

[stuck valley]

But you cant be gpd if you’re not bald

[marble gust]

logged in ba 5min per day for 2y till i realized wait i can actually tryhard this game

[untold tusk]

I only clear Insane I think is still a year too early for me to consider Torment

[round kayak]

One hell of a revelation

Gea stop underestimating stuff

[lone widget]

that's what im doing except raid weeks

[opaque dagger]

I got the easy route tbh, Nexon said "here, a Kayoko NY, a Hare Camp, an Aru Dress, now go do some magic"

[echo oar]

that explains the permits

[west perch]

nah that goes to kazama unfortunately

[lone widget]

if i cant do something, i just drop

[untold tusk]

I can not Torment Nezo my improvised roster not good enough

[lone widget]

so slacc

[marble gust]

i used to ue30 random students back then so thats why i dont have like 30k eligma rn

[stuck valley]

gonna sleep now thanks gpd for valuable insights

again

[opaque dagger]

I still think I got to F100 too early, even if it's something as easy as Blue Set

[round kayak]

gea if your roster hasn't improved after your luck on fest then I'm not sure if that's luck to begin with

[echo oar]

every ue30 is value

[lone widget]

im very lucky on fest
my roster is not good enough

[opaque dagger]

Every UE30 is a furniture you can no longer remove from the cafe for the rest of eternity

[untold tusk]

I have to level students still y'know

[echo oar]

just till b50

[round kayak]

That's completely a different problem and it won't take you a year

[lone widget]

yeh

[marble gust]

only hardcore-extreme for 2 years

[opaque dagger]

It most definitely did not take me a year

[lone widget]

investment is pretty easy to get by

[opaque dagger]

Honestly, I think both Saukko and waelba advanced much faster than me

[lone widget]

if u re patient enough

[fleet narwhal]

even when I began...i was strugglin with pyros

f2ps got it rough

[echo oar]

are they newer than you??

[untold tusk]

I know Torment requires maximum all skills

[round kayak]

I did my first tor as early as 7 months

[echo oar]

the three of you feel like long-time chatters already

[opaque dagger]

waelba isn't even 6 months

waelba was somewhere around Goz/Kaiten

[echo oar]

I swear I was barely doing insane at 7 months...

it took dhina shosh on indoor hiero to do my first ins

[lone widget]

every whel and trex has their own start

[odd geyser]

f2ps got it rough

[fleet narwhal]

and bnuys too

[round kayak]

ins was harder back then

[fleet narwhal]

hmph, what would you know about it 🙄

[pastel mortar]

Yeah I think I became more serious around goz

[west perch]

No newbie can compare to 3 month old kazama fortunately
even got immortalised in causew's video

[echo oar]

hahaha

[simple igloo]

is kei that good

[lone widget]

i failed wakaboat and srkr ins

[odd geyser]

budget chare

[opaque dagger]

The modern Sensei advancement path is really different now

You get a few buffers and good borrows, you clear half of all Ins. Then you start to pick your Tor demons you wanna fight first

[fleet narwhal]

Kazama is built different

[echo oar]

free ako is a gamechanger

[simple ravine]

lmao was that kazama in the video

[echo oar]

back in my day, I had only himari until I finally rolled nyfuuka

Hate malding crits?
Ue60+b50 ur dps and specials now

hello fellow f2p

cuzz there's one among us

Ye Ako + Kotama + Akane + Maki + Tsubaki + Serina gets you more than half of all Extreme clears by level 60-70

ngl my tor streak stars from kiki banner

[pastel mortar]

Actually when did arch decide to evolve from being casual?

[echo oar]

hiero waka chesed, the newbie killers

[fleet narwhal]

my tor streak began with first bosh pelolo

[odd geyser]

tbf to kazama there, I'm pretty sure he had no other option if he wanted to clear than hinata mald when he was that young

[fleet narwhal]

... i remember the yellow goz tor with no tyuuka

[lone widget]

[fleet narwhal]

i never malded as much as that time

[echo oar]

I remember skipping yellow goz tor

[round kayak]

as funny as it is I also had imari that time, but it was pre-rio so I still deadass died in the last minute

[echo oar]

and that one TA srkr shortly after peroro bosh

[odd geyser]

i might be responsible for kazama thinking iwak = must pull

[simple ravine]

[echo oar]

oh noooo

[west perch]

Yep. Hence he's the most "willing to mald" newbie we ever had

[odd geyser]

nah

[fleet narwhal]

i didnt have wakamo for it and still did tor, i think i had a 5pan lmao

[echo oar]

wait yeah it was you and a few others who were crazy enough to do it

[odd geyser]

that goes to oupzzy still

[echo oar]

guh 5pan

[fleet narwhal]

wasnt that bad really, its p1 that is rough

p2 is very simple

[echo oar]

true...

[lone widget]

imagine having enough for 5 pan...

[echo oar]

didn't archer full-invest his kotori at that time for it

just to make it through p1

[fleet narwhal]

i think i used bosh p1 strat

so it wasnt as bad really

[echo oar]

ahhhh

[opaque dagger]

Chesed is AoE check for Yellow, a 4* Nonomi gets you through Ins. Red/Purple is a different story if you don't have Hanako Swimsuit

Hiero is healer check, a strong Serina/Kotama works, but I had a Kokona so...

Boat...yea there is no way around that one, unfortunately

[echo oar]

we got options now!

except boat

boat never changes

[fleet narwhal]

boat is easier nowadays tho

[round kayak]

uneru diff

[opaque dagger]

Geb and Boat are the modern newbies' biggest gatekeepers

[round kayak]

[fleet narwhal]

its just not stupid easy as other raids tho

[fleet narwhal]

yesod boutta make it 3

[echo oar]

curious what yesod's like for a 6-month player tbh

yeah haha

[lone widget]

pain

[opaque dagger]

Yesod and Greg are also barriers

[echo oar]

greeeeeg yeah

[fleet narwhal]

greg too i suppose

[opaque dagger]

Like, people say Greg is easy, but even if you had Mine, you need the bulk to not get 1 shot by yellow wave

[gritty laurel]

[opaque dagger]

I remember getting Mine thinking "oh hell no now I have to do Ins Greg"

[echo oar]

raids hurt early on!!

I forgot about it until I was trying to raid on my alt

[opaque dagger]

And then yellow wave kills my Hare Camp and I'm like "ok I have no way of doing this nvm"

[lone widget]

if u do the 40m strat ye

me imari comfy

[opaque dagger]

Level 80 3* Hare Camp with T8 gear gets one shot on Ins

[fleet narwhal]

i think I ue50d my dhina just to do my first insane (greg lol)

[round kayak]

Quite a few factors to put in the table like if they started on fest and sacced every essential support unit, may let them barely clear ins

[echo oar]

guh

[fleet narwhal]

i had pretty much no debuffers... tho im sure ue40 dhina would have been enough

[exotic dawn]

Greg your first insane ?

[lone widget]

ahh bufferlet

[fleet narwhal]

think so ?

[opaque dagger]

Greg is very strict on buffer options

[lone widget]

tbh getting imari early was so nice

[echo oar]

yeah strinity from the previous fest would help a lot there

[lone widget]

im glad i went with my heart

[echo oar]

and if they somehow had enough pyros to get the magicals too

[opaque dagger]

It's very rough if you don't have Kisaki/Himari for Greg

[fleet narwhal]

i think it was something like... ako/himari + dhina/4*koharu/mine... and uh someone ?

[echo oar]

oh shit where is it

[round kayak]

Isn't it more on the side of debuffers

[opaque dagger]

It's both

You try it with Ako + Rio and you realize how shit it is on timing

[lone widget]

if u dont have mine it's pretty rough too yeh

[echo oar]

THIS is what got me hooked on raiding!!

[lone widget]

but i borrowed mine anw

[fleet narwhal]

oh lol I remember i had to skip that insane

[echo oar]

yellow greg

[fleet narwhal]

...wait

[echo oar]

it was nuuuuts

[round kayak]

What kind of strat is it for that to be bad

[fleet narwhal]

audiens....

you spooked shanako...

[echo oar]

I did

[round kayak]

you could just delay ako a bit

[fleet narwhal]

lucky bastard

i had to wait until her rerun to get her...

[echo oar]

my first fest was so-so aside form that though!

[fleet narwhal]

life without shanako was SO rough

[opaque dagger]

It's more on cost + timing. You don't have enough cost to use the Rio copy before you lose Green, so the Rio copy is a complete waste

[echo oar]

in hindsight, I spooked a LOT of more niche supports, but I had like no hard meta stuff

[lone widget]

true

[echo oar]

aside from the shanako spook!

[lone widget]

it felt nightmarish

[echo oar]

and yeah I remember the woes from back then...

you got her the fest after, right?

[opaque dagger]

And by the time you regain Green to use Rio copy, you already lost the buffs

[lone widget]

im glad i dont have to suffer shanakolet life again

[odd geyser]

i remember when binah was hard

[fleet narwhal]

on the rerun with rio

[untold tusk]

Why did I not get SHanako spook how am I to prepare for Torment Kurokage?

[opaque dagger]

Also, I did not have Koharu so organ was an actual problem

[exotic dawn]

Me and Greg killing each other at the same time

[fleet narwhal]

... i played for nearly a year and a half to get my shanako

[echo oar]

bwoah

[opaque dagger]

I had to use Yuuka PJ to turn organ

[echo oar]

oh nooooo

[opaque dagger]

That was shit

[exotic dawn]

tho I still archived 1 pan

[round kayak]

Hold on I used kisaki + Rio before don't remember being that tight

[fleet narwhal]

shanako is seriously so versatile

[round kayak]

what debuffer were you using

[opaque dagger]

You remove that cost recovery and you'll see

[lone widget]

🫲

[round kayak]

Ah no cost recovery

[opaque dagger]

I said Ako + Rio

Lmaoooooooo

[round kayak]

if it's ins shouldn't be too off

[opaque dagger]

Or Rio + Aru Dress, same thing

[round kayak]

My thoughts merged with my tor clear

[opaque dagger]

No, the 2nd one is always after the debuff add/removal

[pastel mortar]

For someone new I think I might have sacced real hard last fest. Got both mika,wakamo and shanako. Now I only need soshi and will probably not ever need fest archive after that.

[odd geyser]

... i played for nearly a year and a half to get my shanako
i pulled her rateup

[fleet narwhal]

...

you pulled for her on the initial banner

die

[echo oar]

my first fest (dhina shosh) was shanako mine shosh dhina in 230 pulls

[opaque dagger]

I remember for Ext speedrun, with Rio + Aru Dress + Shigure Hot Spring (cos I had nothing else to run) + Mine, I had to bring Shun otherwise the 5th and 6th shots don't hit before the debuff add/remove

[echo oar]

everyone else was farmable or worthless

[untold tusk]

I wonder will I ever get SHanako?

[west perch]

both statements are true

[fleet narwhal]

i am aware

and he annoys me with it

[opaque dagger]

Buffer pairings is much less flexible on Greg than most bosses

[echo oar]

the restrictions make it interesting though

[opaque dagger]

So Greg and Yesod is pretty rough on newbies, but Geb and Boat definitely hardest ones

[echo oar]

in its own way

[spice basin]

Finally did 433 jfd yay improvement from last season jfd 432

[opaque dagger]

Nagisa strat too good, you don't even need Serina tbh

[pastel mortar]

40 more than me

[copper siren]

[echo oar]

the selector is calling

[west perch]

Noa's not necessary tho

[copper siren]

Chise U60 when

[simple ravine]

omg matching ranks

[lone widget]

ngl i spook like average 2 on fest

[fleet narwhal]

I never said she was

[echo oar]

whew 16

[simple ravine]

shes already ue60 for like a year or more

[fleet narwhal]

but for comfy and quick ? ye I wish I had her

[lone widget]

anw

bope i got good spook + mreisa early

[opaque dagger]

I think I've said in gph, but easiest bosses are Binah, Shirokuro, Kaiten, Pelolo and Hod. You clear Ins for all these with Tsubaki, Maki, Akane, Shizuko Swimsuit (don't even need levels), Ako, Kotama, Mari

Goz, Chesed, Hiero and Kurokage requires levelled mechanics students (Shizuko Swimsuit, Nonomi, Serina/Koharu, Hanako), but that's the main barrier to entry

Greg, Yesod, Geb and Boat are complete barriers for newbies, Ins straight up impossible

This is assuming you have Ako, and let's toss in Seia Swimsuit as well assuming players started Oct/Nov 2025

[lone widget]

[fleet narwhal]

I just hope I get meisa before 200, thats all I need

[exotic dawn]

same, I too broke to afford anymore

[echo oar]

yeah I guess you could farm hifumi for ins boat, but it'd still require having your own dps too

since you won't 1pan...

[pastel mortar]

what is hod doing in this list?

[opaque dagger]

Hod you can clear with a decently raised Tsubaki

[marble gust]

since uneru

hod is like 3x easier

[echo oar]

hod's so wimpy in insane

[fleet narwhal]

I hate to admit but I am tempted to whale for suzumi if I get unlucky

[echo oar]

make it through the towers and do 1-2 EXs to kill

[marble gust]

wheres the lvl 30 hod ins clear vid

[fleet narwhal]

but I doubt I'll get a 6.6k... I think I got my limits

[west perch]

dude, ins hod is crazy easy

[opaque dagger]

Seia Swimsuit surviving Ins Hod can be tough, ye

That's the hardest part if you use Seia Swimsuit

[exotic dawn]

How much are you willing to afford

[opaque dagger]

Actually, just run Serina lmao

[copper siren]

Torment Hod

[pastel mortar]

I had no idea

[west perch]

I cleared ins hod with smika

[fleet narwhal]

I hope I wont find out

[opaque dagger]

Serina + Ako + Seia Swimsuit + Tsubaki + Neru School

[west perch]

she's dealing 1/4 damage of a yellow DPS

[steady prairie]

[west perch]

and still 1pans

[spice basin]

Okay then I was just skill issue can't clear hod ins at lvl50

[west perch]

ins hod is real easy

[echo oar]

how many pans

[pastel mortar]

I slacced extreme anw cuz I was busy that week but cool to know

[echo oar]

I think my lv70 ext wakaboat was a 5pan

doing like 500k on the last 2-3 teams

[west perch]

If you were lacking the hyperbuffers/healers then you can't clear even at that level unfortunately

[steady prairie]

was a very unoptimized 3pan

[echo oar]

niiiice

[copper siren]

Comfy vs balding

[grim finch]

wtf fossil ss

[copper siren]

Be Kaiju

[spice basin]

Wait no, it was hod ext I couldn't clear

[odd geyser]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1031915219926138940/1477338113918373978/Screenshot_2023.01.19_22.34.09.073.png?ex=69a465d5&is=69a31455&hm=eeb714de2ced3736d317a64629242c6bc9215e91ac91ef0de59a677917fe0179&

[west perch]

bruh

now that is indeed skill issue

[odd geyser]

What's a mika

[copper siren]

A Kaiju is here 🦖 🦖 🦖

[west perch]

can't help you there

[marble gust]

major skill issue

[untold tusk]

@odd geyser Are you going to roll PKoyuki?

[odd geyser]

[lost shell]

https://tenor.com/view/the-fnaf-movie-gif-2037626696781875793

[west perch]

wait for the announcement

[odd geyser]

I am a Millennium sensei

[west perch]

before hyping yourself up

[echo oar]

isn't that the airi atkspd thing on binah

[opaque dagger]

If your Strikers too squishy and die to Hod AoE, also a problem tho

[odd geyser]

I am a Millennium sensei

[opaque dagger]

At level 50 you probably don't live tbh

[odd geyser]

Yeah

[west perch]

actually... yellow armour does

[opaque dagger]

So you kinda need Kayoko then

[echo oar]

an ancient relic of the past...

[untold tusk]

I already know PKoyuki releasing for I I already wrote as skip on my notes

[opaque dagger]

Level 50 Tsubaki most definitely does not live

[west perch]

long long ago, during indoor hod.
I attempted ins hod as a lv54.
Tsubaki survived p1 with some eva malding

[steady prairie]

it's still a thing tbh

but idk if it's needed when a borrow can shred it to pieces

for ins i mean

[spice basin]

I was using I think Tsubaki, hoshino, uneru borrow and forgot the rest and pretty much everyone died reaching p2

[echo oar]

oh wow it was only added for tor+

[snow portal]

I thought I woke up in some bizarro universe where Hod had a purple raid before I read your text LOL

[opaque dagger]

If you died on Ext, yea that...might be skill issue, or too squishy, idk

[west perch]

I mean... possible raid

smika surely can purple luna urban hod?

[opaque dagger]

I mean, with Nozomi/Meeka Swimsuit, Hod Purple is easy raid

Oh Luna uhhh

[west perch]

oh, forced healer though

[snow portal]

Forced healer

But maybe...

Like a theorhetical purple hod

I could see it

[opaque dagger]

Is this where we advocate for Luna GA so random ass DPS like Nagusa and Eri now have a home?

[covert spoke]

nah you would just find a yellow armor front

[west perch]

then... shanako for enrage ig

[snow portal]

Unless! They make it Indoor Hod GA with Purple/Red/Yellow

[echo oar]

pink demon

[snow portal]

Then Nozomi clear EZ

[opaque dagger]

Thinking about it, Hod GA is actually pretty easy

[snow portal]

Actually Indoor hod GA might not be too bad tbh

[fleet narwhal]

i wonder what pj koyuki will be like if we're getting her...

[snow portal]

Yeah tbh

Surely she'll be out before 5.5 fes

[covert spoke]

shes out in a week

[untold tusk]

PKoyuki very soon

[fleet narwhal]

rerun was announced already right

[west perch]

yep

[echo oar]

event rerun ye

[fleet narwhal]

if we are getting her then its in a week

[west perch]

we might get student announcement later

[echo oar]

pls pls pls pls

[echo oar]

pj event is BA storytelling in its stride

[snow portal]

Clever John Nexon

[echo oar]

oho that's what that was

[spice basin]

I was about to watch on YT the story for the millennium pj event but dang nexon heard

[covert spoke]

wah

[echo oar]

also the ||cranes on plana's blanket||

[snow portal]

This is fan-translated, but the JP version of the 4-koma on dropped on the 26th. They then announced PJ rerun today

So I assume the 4-koma was a hint

[opaque dagger]

Now that you mention it, the events that have left the best impression on me, on the story side, are PJ and Camp

[echo oar]

arona and plana are such good mascots, really

[opaque dagger]

Not sure if it's just the Millennium shill in me

[echo oar]

highly rated and yet underrated

caaaamp yessss

I just loved going into the event lobby and hearing them complain every tim

[opaque dagger]

GIB CHIHIRO CAMP

[echo oar]

one of the few cases where you're like "oh yeah these are actually kids"

[opaque dagger]

I had a different thought. I heard their lines and I was like "oh, these are MY people"

[echo oar]

the gamer struggles

[late pasture]

me always been slacc

[opaque dagger]

I think I grew a fondness for Veritas because of Camp event, tbh

[lost shell]

everything free

slack

time

[opaque dagger]

Also the Camp BGM slaps

[echo oar]

same

this is still one of my favorite voice lines, chare getting spooked when you enter the shop

[torn thorn]

KOYUKI 😭

SOON.

[echo oar]

[fleet narwhal]

archer will skipp

[torn thorn]

no

[pastel mortar]

I'll say it again: we need another engineering department alt

[torn thorn]

I will pick

Lick

[snow portal]

Oh Hare it's everywhere 😭

[torn thorn]

And pull

[torn thorn]

oupzy died

[late pasture]

this message was better before the edit

[torn thorn]

Oh shit

He’s back

[fleet narwhal]

nope still here

[late pasture]

doctored screenshot

[late pasture]

i'm a golder now

me slacc

[snow portal]

It's made with love!

[opaque dagger]

Can't be golder when you're in Asia

You slacc and you still Plat in Asia

[late pasture]

i would accept anything made by renge

[opaque dagger]

It's just that free

[late pasture]

you can't be anything if you're in asia

i don't consider them to exist

[west perch]

ok go get t100 asia then

[simple igloo]

i asia

asia always so goated

[opaque dagger]

You won't be saying this if you got kicked off Geb Plat

[west perch]

only time i got t100 was debut lunakage iirc

and next time i won't even be there since it'll be filled with 53m malders

[fleet narwhal]

luna binah will be the second

i trust

[west perch]

nah I'm going for 52.9m

that won't be t100

[spice basin]

Malded 15.103 on geb is not enough

[west perch]

I'd have to do 53.1 to get t100 probably

[fleet narwhal]

i wonder actually how many lunas we'll get on global servers

doubt we'll get luna cutoff but tor cutoff ? I really think it might happen again

[pastel mortar]

Bruh EU was 1 clear from ins cutoff

[west perch]

on binah I think asia will get that tor cutoff

[pastel mortar]

EU SUPERIORITY

[marble gust]

cus whelno was only using 2% of his power

[pastel mortar]

Deno should've used another alt smh

[fleet narwhal]

I got no alts

ask Zeni

[ancient star]

I just hope they buff Binah the next time its back, I think the reception from JP players was very negative

[simple igloo]

woah

[ripe mason]

have they ever buffed a boss on rerun though

[simple igloo]

can they do that

[odd geyser]

geburah

[west perch]

srkr

[soft junco]

Bosses get buffed? How?

[ancient star]

Also Binah itself lol they slightly buffed its HP on Insane

[spice basin]

I do wonder why does geb ext have more hp than ins shiro and kuro combined

[simple igloo]

wat

[ancient star]

Old raid vs new raid (that also has entirely different mechanics and buffs)

[sand harness]

I had a dream of wildhunt lesson area suddenly unlocking for me

Surely I will get one later

[soft junco]

Guess it's only a matter of time

[loud knoll]

Hp is just irrelevant number by itself, hod torment has 18 millions for example

[fleet narwhal]

how much easier do we think peroro and goz lunas will be now with aris/kei

[torn thorn]

Because geb hp is scaled around the fact that specials do 80% extra damage

[simple igloo]

3pan

[torn thorn]

same reason Luna Greg has absurd hp

[simple igloo]

1b cant be that bad

[torn thorn]

It’s scaled around you doing like half the hp in the final phase from guaranteed crit on like 30 mobs

Hp numbers in a vacuum are meaningless

[soft junco]

Does the final phase repeat itself after u reach it? Meaning every team only has 1 minute before team wipe?

[ancient star]

HP is relativately to the boss mechanics

[west perch]

it's also cuz ins srkr is balanced around izuna

[ancient star]

Not to other bosses

[torn thorn]

No you have to redo the entire raid for each new team

It’s just how Greg is balanced

it’s a matter of surviving til the end and then dumping a ton of damage

Luna srkr will be balanced around baris

So expect it to have absurd hp as well

[sand harness]

I would have like 115k pyrox by next fes and I still think I'm cooked by the end of the year i should start drawing more for the pyrox fund

[west perch]

I expect p2 is also balanced around airi + yakumo

[simple igloo]

eripuller?

[sand harness]

Smisaki puller

[torn thorn]

prob just hp bloat the hwll out of it to minimize the % hp airi does tbh

or maybe not, who knows

srkr def has potential to be overtuned

[west perch]

they could pull either a boat or a binah

and we're hoping it's hod

[fleet narwhal]

after Binah... I dont know what to expect regarding balancing

[torn thorn]

they’ve said binah is an exception

[west perch]

ehh

we'll see

[opaque dagger]

Shirokuro probably will have a lot of HP bloat because of Aris and Kei, Hiero/Kaiten probably will have better balancing

Chesed is screwed either way, either too free or too impossible, just like Binah

[torn thorn]

Chesed has a really easy way of making it more demanding without stat bloat

Make it like Greg

Where you reset back to the start

After every new team

[full granite]

like greg?

[torn thorn]

though ig on luna you’d most likely want a mobber on every team except maybe the very last cleanup team anw

so maybe it’s not that impactful

[ripe mason]

what would happen to groggy setup

[west perch]

hiero is at least similar to greg in that most of the dmg dealt is on 2nd half of each team
bodythrows are insanely ineffective too

[torn thorn]

Dunno, just keep it constant ig?

[opaque dagger]

Hiero has the least bodythrow potential out of every single boss

[fleet narwhal]

hod body throws...

[opaque dagger]

I mean, you still can do 1 cycle with cope CC options no?

[west perch]

we have enough healers now where I'd say that's not the case tbh

[torn thorn]

[opaque dagger]

Hiero if you don't live for at least 2 mins, that team does jack shit

[fleet narwhal]

...

[torn thorn]

There are not that many cope cc options that can effectively handle the last phase

[opaque dagger]

Ah right, I forgot P3 exists

[fleet narwhal]

he enrages all the time, and basically destroys you within less than a minute

[torn thorn]

[opaque dagger]

Can't you bodythrow after Meeka or something?

And then final team be Neru cleanup

[torn thorn]

Hod you also can’t body throw p1

because the towers reset

If you don’t fully kill them

[opaque dagger]

Hod P1 is like Chesed P1

[fleet narwhal]

on luna, you have mika/uneru/swaka teams +p1 team if you arent speedrunning

[copper surge]

Sorry Mika, I failed

[fleet narwhal]

after that you barely have any cc left and any dps

[torn thorn]

Like honestly I thought p1 was the big filter for hod Luna

If u can’t clear p1 relatively cheaply

Ur screwed

because then you have to waste good units on it

And be left with underpowered teams later

[fleet narwhal]

the mid section of hod is the chill part

its the beginning and end that are rough unless you got something conistent already

[torn thorn]

I mean, the end isn’t bad with swak/imari

[fleet narwhal]

if you got something consistent, yes

[torn thorn]

and now swak free for all so

will be free on rerun

[fleet narwhal]

i suppose, ye

[amber root]

better not be seeing yall slaccin on farming swak

[opaque dagger]

Like ye, you bodythrow middle section of P2, not end of P2

[torn thorn]

Whelshin… ur back…

[copper surge]

Surely, 100 secret notes will be enough

[fleet narwhal]

only if you are !

[torn thorn]

I thought u quit

[amber root]

i did

[fleet narwhal]

[amber root]

[torn thorn]

[copper surge]

you quit??

[fleet narwhal]

ye some time ago already

[amber root]

well considering i didnt login since uhhh

idk how many months now

[simple igloo]

skipped seia(😭)?

[fleet narwhal]

i miss grass... i miss raishin... i miss neru...

[amber root]

i just pulled on fes and then dropped

[orchid axle]

Hi balders

[amber root]

did neru also stop?

[copper surge]

Oh, I see

[torn thorn]

psure whelnear still around

[copper surge]

I guess fest was the stop point for a lot of people

[fleet narwhal]

i dont think he stopped but he rarely visits here

[amber root]

i couldnt find their library posts in awhile

[quartz remnant]

Are you seriously gonna keep buying elephs with expert permit until ue60
If you have the ligmas just get her to ue60 before next srkr or binah TA

[fleet narwhal]

all the 🛢️ are dropping out.... its only us newbs left

[quartz remnant]

True

[torn thorn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1381641952549802168/1383464856262541443/XJdO5g1.webp

@hybrid halo are u still alive

demo is worried about u

n

[hybrid halo]

I'm not

[fleet narwhal]

Neru is alive

[hybrid halo]

I literally just playing like once a week

or thrice

[copper surge]

My 1st plan was to raise all fest with expert permits
But than I found we could double pull on fest and use the spark to "pull" for an old fest and get the 1st pull bonus so I stopped raising on fest with tickets
But now, old-ass fest students like Wakamo are on the archive banner and can't be pulled so the only way for me to Ue60 them is expert shop

I am doing this with Wakamo for sure, but not sure I'll do it with Mika. S Hoshino does not care about Ue beyond 40.

[torn thorn]

wtf……..

🦖

Pulling for fest dupes…

[amber root]

this is being stingy on eligmas on a whole new lvl

[quartz remnant]

Mika is a good student to ue60
We have luna binah/wakaboat in the future
Also used in indoor GA

[torn thorn]

I mean

Ue60 not necessary anyways

[copper surge]

No, no... look, I put 200 on fest, I get both fest (usually)

Since I already got both naturally, there is no bonus for sparking them, but if I spark a fest I did NOT pull, I get the extra 100 ligma

[torn thorn]

Ur not score chasing Luna

[quartz remnant]

Depends if he’s score chasing

[torn thorn]

[quartz remnant]

For both torment or luna

[steady prairie]

just scorechase top 50 without own dps

[torn thorn]

I’m like 99% sure he isn’t

[steady prairie]

not that hard

[torn thorn]

[copper surge]

@amber root Got bored?

[quartz remnant]

Luna isn’t fun without double digit tbh

[steady prairie]

f2p game anw

[west perch]

my 2.5 year plan to UE60 seia & sseia:

[torn thorn]

Like I feel like I would know if he was a semi balder

if ur the kind of player who needs ue60 for score chase

ur gonna be relatively high profile

[quartz remnant]

Still nice to have if you want to mald less

[copper surge]

I personally could not score chase even with a dev account

[torn thorn]

I mean once u get to like top 10

you need ||REDACTED|| anyways

everyone uses ||REDACTED||

[amber root]

nah just a strange turn of events that made me drop it

[copper surge]

It's always a bit sad to see the hardcore raiders fizzle out. So much effort and than "poof"

[quartz remnant]

I don’t use that actually

[torn thorn]

Kaishin is now free…

[west perch]

balder TL: I bald so much I consider 2pan less mald than 4pan

[copper surge]

Sounds omnious. Are you back or just hanging out?

[amber root]

traded ba for blue protocol and dropped that and now playing maple with friends

just hanging out

[copper surge]

Soon I'll be the the most senior member here. Sadge.

[steady prairie]

i hope i'm never high profile fr

[copper surge]

I am not even day 1, how can I be a true vet?

[quartz remnant]

I actually find 2 pan geb with bhosh repo easier than 4 pan with imine

[west perch]

my man's in a state of transcendence

[quartz remnant]

Ukarin can finish 30m on her own

And satsuki dealing 145m isn’t that hard after t10 watch got added

If you really struggle just add another hibiki team to clean up

[torn thorn]

only whel Ukarin team can finish 30m…

My f2p ukarin struggle to clean up any more than 12

[quartz remnant]

?
You only need a ue40 ukarin

[torn thorn]

[quartz remnant]

Which is free anyway

[torn thorn]

“Only

“Free”

right

[quartz remnant]

Did you not grind her to ue40 in event

[west perch]

with bad bonus that's not even possible with x6x4

[copper surge]

Dajin alone holding the servers up. We all need to praise @odd geyser wheljin for his effort to keep Nexon afloat now all whels died.

[quartz remnant]

Well you needed like 6+4+1 but that’s not that bad

[torn thorn]

6x… 😟

Me can’t afford that shit man

[quartz remnant]

It’s prefest event tho
Ur pulling the banner so the bonus shouldn’t be that bad

[copper surge]

i did x3 x4 and finished it with ligma

[west perch]

most people don't do 110 day 1

[opaque dagger]

x6 is whel behaviour

[torn thorn]

Doing 110 on day 1 doesn’t actually even give that big of a buff

We ran the numbers before

[copper surge]

110 on day 1? What is this?

[torn thorn]

You only get a handful more elephs

[quartz remnant]

I thought everyone do it if the event student is good/3x normal

[odd geyser]

‼️💢

[quartz remnant]

I’ve seen true whales do 9x

[west perch]

on 3x norms???

bruh

[placid helm]

Most people don't pyro refresh, ever

[copper surge]

Thank you for supporting Blue Archive sensei. Let's all thanks wheljin for his efforts. 👏 💸

[idle rampart]

f2p always got every single pyro matter mindset

[west perch]

half the people here aren't even gonna 6x for ninja eligma event

[copper surge]

I did not even knew ninja had eligma event

[west perch]

it's real good

[quartz remnant]

3x is underwhelming for a ligma event for how rare they are

[copper surge]

Nexon will never release events as good as Bunny or Conquest. They wisened up.

[placid helm]

Rabu also has ligma with elephs

[quartz remnant]

Ofc you don’t 9x since that’s just the same as pulling banner but

[copper surge]

I think the extra energy you get going from x3 to x6 is not worth the price. x3 for me is fine, x6 it better be a godlike event

[torn thorn]

Was it?

[fleet narwhal]

ye it was

[torn thorn]

I thought it was mid like the other pigma event we had recently

[west perch]

Yep. Better than baseball with good bonus

[fleet narwhal]

assuming you got enough for full bonus its real good

[torn thorn]

ic….

[placid helm]

Ligma is never an issue if you are really stingy with it

[fleet narwhal]

the specials are rough is the issue

[west perch]

I'll only have 60% bonus on it and it's still good enough

[copper surge]

I have 10k ligma... the joys of being a slacc sensei

[torn thorn]

Post bonus

[idle rampart]

what's the ap efficiency?

[fleet narwhal]

post bonus its real good, as Aether said better than baseball

so pretty much as good as it gets nowadays

[copper surge]

Will prob lose some raising Ninja Fish and Medic Reisa

Nexon fine-tuned events so the good stuff is front loaded. I dont think we'll ever get an event that make me spend x6 ever again.

Sometimes, just doing x4 pvp coins is already enough

The current Wildhunt event for example, is pretty underwhelming

[torn thorn]

No I meant

Post

The

Chart with bonus units

[fleet narwhal]

oh

[tawdry dune]

the event "ended" for me as soon as x2 hards started

[copper surge]

yeah, I finished it 1st week

[torn thorn]

Event points is ligma I assume?

[fleet narwhal]

yup

[torn thorn]

that’s not bad at all

Hiyori is free

And surely ur pulling dmichiru

[fleet narwhal]

Me ? ye

[copper surge]

I believe in Ninja Fish

[fleet narwhal]

but its hard to afford right now for everyone

[torn thorn]

[odd geyser]

pvp mains pretending they're f2p

[torn thorn]

sounds like a them problem…

[copper surge]

we need to spend on SOMETHING

[torn thorn]

newbies don’t rly care about farming ligma anw

[copper surge]

I have no idea how a new player tackle gearing up tbh. They need so much.

[tawdry dune]

x3 normals outside of fest could be a thing

[odd geyser]

last jp fes had 3x normals you could farm

[tawdry dune]

no wey

[placid helm]

New players don't have too many character to gear up

[west perch]

world raid be like

[tawdry dune]

global gotta have that too

[copper surge]

usually during fest we have x3 normals / hard

Every time I need to gear up a single character, I see my huge stockpile of equipment vanish

"Oh, I have 200 of each, it's a lot"
Raise 2 students
"I am broke"

[torn thorn]

I mean like most things in this game, gear demands increase non linearly
