Gacha hell

[split zenith]

Then we have a chase sequence??

Like idk bro

First area could be revamped imo to keep player retention

[shrewd plinth]

I think my main problem with Wuthering Waves' story so far is the fact that, as far as I'm aware, our character doesn't have any form of actual motivation to do anything. All the stuff that I've been doing so far is stuff that other people have wanted me/forced me to do, so it just feels like aimless wandering without any actual reason to do so at this point.
At least the motivation of Genshin's MC is pointed out right from the get-go, so there's an actual reason for the aimless wandering.

[fiery geyser]

Dvalin got that Mundus sequence

[toxic rain]

True

[split zenith]

They’re trying to just remember who they are so they just wander with their buddies helping people to see if they remember anything

Which they won’t the devs aren’t going to be that nice 🥲

All I know is we could possibly be the very person that started humanity’s recovery by building that main city place thingy

Which would make our MC thousands of years old

[shrewd plinth]

Y'see, the problem with that is that it's not made apparent that's the motivation. Not to mention the fact that's kind of a boring and cliche'd motivation, which just makes me like it even less.

[split zenith]

I do like the TD’s design though

[split zenith]

We’ll just hope for a drastic change soon

[shrewd plinth]

Honestly though, I feel like a lot of my problems are a result of them being "forced" to remake the intro section between CBT 1 and 2, since people weren't happy that characters didn't like the MC right off the bat despite them being a weird stranger that just appeared outta nowhere.

[split zenith]

Like how star rail went from belebog to the chaos of whatever 2.1’s story is

[fiery geyser]

People mentioned they also rewrote a whole bunch of the story (?)

[shrewd plinth]

I heard that as well yeah

[split zenith]

Community gave them bad ideas ig

Now I have a person to blame my cope

Combat is nice though

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, not to mention that re-writing and implementing an entire section of a story in a few months ain't easy. They were definitely on a super tight schedule.

[shrewd plinth]

Oh, yeah, for sure!

[split zenith]

It will even out I have faith

[reef elm]

combat is very fun

hoping i get a good 5 star

game is alot shinier than genshin

a skip button is nice

[reef elm]

hmm yeah it feels like theres no driving force for the story

lol the moment after i say rthat

something interesting happens

[split zenith]

lmaooo

I need to get on rn

I only have two more levels to go to push more into the story

[reef elm]

Ima just paste this here

the two sides of the coin is hilarious
Genshin: amazing voice acting of a character mourning over a character's death
Animations: 💁‍♂️
WuWa: average voice acting
Animations: 🤦‍♂️ 🙋‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🙎‍♂️ 🏌️‍♂️ 👨‍🍳

[split zenith]

Lmaooo

[fiery geyser]

[jaunty badger]

5 days till boothill

I’m gonna need a good break lightcone for him

[humble citrus]

the only break effect LC is his signature LC

which is in the LC banner

[mortal osprey]

if you want it...

[reef elm]

I got her

[mortal osprey]

[plain bluff]

how's wuthering waves?

[mortal osprey]

I'm enjoying it, personally.

[reef elm]

And also pulled a four star I like for no particular reason…

[mortal osprey]

There is a surprising amount of depth to combat with most of the characters, and the dodge and parry mechanics make the moment-to-moment against stronger enemies pretty fun

traversal is pretty good too

I wish it were better optimised on PC tho

[plain bluff]

that's good to hear

hopefully they iron out the technical issues

as time goes on

[mortal osprey]

yeah, I expect so. Just a little rough for now.

[reef elm]

At least they gave us free ten pull as compensation

Looks like jinhsi will be the next character

[toxic rain]

https://tenor.com/view/banned-ban-mai-mai-shiranui-king-of-fighters-gif-25003086

[reef elm]

she looks like nshida

i guess i have 80 more pulls until i get the shielder monk

[jaunty badger]

https://fxtwitter.com/honkaistarrail/status/1793855209166573645

he did not need that flip

[lilac spire]

me when akuma demon flips

[jaunty badger]

crit rate is abysmal but the def is great

[shrewd plinth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaGcCd89KOs

[reef elm]

i got some early pity

[reef elm]

ngl i kinda wanna pull

[shrewd plinth]

Suffering from success
Where the hell are my Crit Damage substats, game!?

[humble citrus]

sparkle time? or robin+sparkle since xueyi has followups

[shrewd plinth]

I don't have Sparkle

[humble citrus]

what about bronya?

she boosts crt dmg right?

checked; yeah she does.

[shrewd plinth]

I do have her, thanks to losing the 50/50 on Sparkle's banner, but I don't have her fully built

Genuinely though, the fact that I have relics this good and have a completely ass Crit Ratio is a crime

I think I'll go with this for now.
Even though I'm missing out on the 4pc Quantum, which is pretty big, I at least have a sensible Crit Ratio and a decent overall stat line

And I still have a bunch of levels to give to my Thief relics to get more Crit Damage and Crit Rate

[split zenith]

Wuthering waves story picks up in act 4

I really dislike how it keeps cock blocking me in terms of story

like mf I just hit level 15 to do the rest of the story did one mission and then you level lock me and say I gotta hit level 21

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah...

HSR removed that for a reason...

[split zenith]

hoping the level locking calms down a bit feel like im playing HSR or Genshin lmao

from like act 3 to act 4 there is like a massive spike in difficulty (level wise) so idk if they're trying to do this as a trend or what

like bro let me cook I am more than capable of dodging in this game

but story kinda picks up theres another reason given other than just trying to find out who you are

[wicked gazelle]

I've got e1 gep

[shrewd plinth]

Ah

[toxic rain]

What is this bro 🤣

That’s such a crazy ratio

[shrewd plinth]

The result of having way too many Crit Rate substats

Finally, a good fucking body for the Quantum set

Damn, these boots are kinda good as well...

[shrewd plinth]

Out of all the possbilities...

It had to be flat Attack

I am suffering

Alright, I recovered

[toxic rain]

That’s my jingliu except I have crit rate main stat and crit dmg substat but it’s kinda underwhelming

[shrewd plinth]

Doesn't Jingliu get 50% free Crit Rate in her enhanced state, though?

[reef elm]

Aaahhhh it’s aimer

It fits the mood so well

[toxic rain]

Yeah bro

[reef elm]

Wow

[fiery geyser]

A free 5 star??

[shrewd plinth]

Upside: Free Encore
Downside: Free Encore after I've already put 30 pulls into her selector banner
2nd Upside: 2 Encore

[mortal osprey]

Lord we're eating good

[reef elm]

true

[humble citrus]

WUWA stay winning

genshin could never

[fiery geyser]

[foggy cobalt]

that can’t be a good sign

if they’re giving away so much so quickly

[fiery geyser]

[shrewd plinth]

It's because the game relesed in a less-than-ideal state so they're having to fix a lot of stuff

[toxic rain]

Free 5 star is lit

[fiery geyser]

Who’s lit

[mortal osprey]

[reef elm]

Genshin could never

I wonder if this game wants two teams

[shrewd plinth]

You actually want 3 for the main endgame mode

So 9 characters need to be built

Ideally, anyway

[wicked gazelle]

How big is wuthering waves?

[foggy cobalt]

big

[mortal osprey]

20 gigs

[wicked gazelle]

Ouch

[foggy cobalt]

For people asking it’s in your game announcement hhh

Twitter · May 24, 2024, 7:21 PM

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, both the trailer and the gameplay stuff that's come out from the creator test server have been super convincing

[fiery geyser]

quid pro quo looking nice on him

[foggy cobalt]

is

is this mf the hunt????

[fiery geyser]

Yes

[foggy cobalt]

SAVE A HORSE

[shrewd plinth]

The funny thing is, he can still do 200k+ on break with a lightcone that's meant for a different path

[foggy cobalt]

but FIREFLY

NOOO

BOOTHILL OR FIREFLY

[shrewd plinth]

Stay strong

[foggy cobalt]

BUT

NOW HES COOL

[shrewd plinth]

If you can hold out until the last week, we'll know Firefly's kit and what she does

[foggy cobalt]

i suppose?? but..

[shrewd plinth]

Then you'll be able to make a better comparison

I'm holding out for Firefly and Jade, since I want good options for my teams

[foggy cobalt]

but if boothill break

then

but the ultimate power duo with firefly and mc

😭

[reef elm]

Stronk

[humble citrus]

i mean, the info on her kit is out there

right now even

[humble citrus]

i’m gonna run this duo as well

[plain bluff]

||she only has one team comp, and it involves them||

[reef elm]

||Oh not rm||

[toxic rain]

What’re the banners for boothil

[plain bluff]

||Firefly HMC RM Gallagher||

there

that's the optimal (and only) firefly team

[plain bluff]

fu xuan and boothill

[humble citrus]

name a team of that type without them, i'll wait

[jaunty badger]

do we know the 4 stars

cause a gallagher would be really nice

but i know he isn't soon

[jaunty badger]

I forgot hook existed

[humble citrus]

Luka is diet boothill if you fail to get him

[humble citrus]

the only reason i haven’t yet is bc i recently did her character quests

[plain bluff]

she doesn't exist

[jaunty badger]

i kind of don't like her

[humble citrus]

fair

she’s a literal child

[jaunty badger]

cocky and also a child

two things i don't like

[humble citrus]

Not as cocky as argenti though

[jaunty badger]

who was that again

OH

the red hair guy

[humble citrus]

yeah

mr beauty

i was gonna send a gif but scrolling down made me regret doing so

[lilac spire]

what kind of destiny gun name is that

[fiery geyser]

Gjallarhorn

[reef elm]

She calls you sibling

That was good

[jaunty badger]

I really want boothill

I need to gather my luck and just pray

I have all the materials to level him up too

[lilac spire]

wait thats not a waifu

[fiery geyser]

[toxic rain]

https://tenor.com/view/banned-ban-mai-mai-shiranui-king-of-fighters-gif-25003086

[humble citrus]

So

what are the odds that a ruan mei rerun is happening soon

[jaunty badger]

Maybe she happens with firefly

Or jade

[wicked gazelle]

||I think she's supposed to re run with firefly||

[shrewd plinth]

She is due for a rerun soon, so it's definitely possible

But HuoHuo and Argenti still haven't gotten a rerun, and they were released before Ruan Mei

[humble citrus]

that one wasn’t confirmed to be reliable afaik

but i would expect it to be the case

especially bc they did topaz+robin after aventurine

[shrewd plinth]

My predictions are either Argenti (to indirectly compete with Jade) or Ruan Mei with Firefly, and HuoHuo or Ratio with Jade

Though I doubt they'd do both Ruan Mei and Ratio reruns back-to-back, since that'd mean that neither of the 1.5 characters would get a rerun while both of the 1.6 characters get one.

There's also Seele's and Silver Wolf's 2nd reruns to consider as well

[jaunty badger]

Is e1 ratio good

Or is it just the level thing

[shrewd plinth]

Looking at it, it's pretty solid. It's effectively a free 10% Crit Rate and 20% Crit damage buff

[jaunty badger]

That’s not terrible

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, but it's not that game-changing either, so it depends on what you want out of him in the end

It'll also depend on who he reruns with as well

[fiery geyser]

Demon already mentioned it, not busted but it’s still really solid
If you can afford it, I think S1 would be the stronger choice tho

higher stats, fat crit damage, and the def ignore

[shrewd plinth]

Oh yeah, for sure

Outside of specific cases, like Robin's E1, the Lightcone is almost always more worthwhile

[fiery geyser]

[humble citrus]

Another question; does running phs dmg boost planar sphere over atk% matter on clara? or on other characters where kit scaling doesn't matter.

And what team is good against the Abundance deer...

[fiery geyser]

SU7?

[humble citrus]

yeah

(i think)

[fiery geyser]

Phys dmg is preferred

unless your atk% orb has much better substats

[humble citrus]

can't have better stats on atk% orb if i don't have an atk% orb....

[plain bluff]

get his LC if anything

but e0s0 ratio is fine

[plain bluff]

Acheron works well despite the 40% lightning res

Himeko and Herta also work

[wicked gazelle]

Acheron with the hunt blessing that advances you when you kill

[humble citrus]

I do love running acheron with hunt

[plain bluff]

the abundance deer is definitely one of the most annoying enemies though

lol

[humble citrus]

action advanced my beloved

[fiery geyser]

[plain bluff]

especially in MoC

[fiery geyser]

stupid outrage plant

[wicked gazelle]

MoC deer is pain

[plain bluff]

the pain of running 2 lightning dps

when it has a 40% resist to the element

[wicked gazelle]

At least su makes you op to kill it

IT HAS 40% RES?

[plain bluff]

from what I've heard

[humble citrus]

yeah....

[wicked gazelle]

Crikey

[plain bluff]

Acheron just brute-forces through it

[humble citrus]

just run ruan mei +acheron /s

[fiery geyser]

e2 acheron users:

[wicked gazelle]

🫡

I need more cd on her

[shrewd plinth]

I say this as an E2S1 Acheron haver: y e s

[humble citrus]

If there's nothing else im saving for then i'll save for E2 acheron. It looks so good

[plain bluff]

E0 Acheron users:

[shrewd plinth]

E2's more of a quality-of-life buff more than anything, though it can translate into an indirect damage buff depending on your account

It's really nice either way though

[wicked gazelle]

Bronya go brrr

[humble citrus]

i've been in so many situations where i need acheron ult and i have to rely on pela's LC to get a debuff or have 0 skill points.

until i get that LC to S5 i might just replace pela with sparkle.

[fiery geyser]

relatable

[fiery geyser]

It seems amazing in the sense that she’s basically super future proof but man, giving up 2 potential new characters

[shrewd plinth]

Yeah, for sure

I'm lucky that I'd just started the game around her release, so I had a bunch of free pulls lying around

[fiery geyser]

[foggy cobalt]

https://vxtwitter.com/dottoven/status/1794028381995962868

[mortal osprey]

Lol

[foggy cobalt]

argenti is so fucking dumb oh my god

hes so me coded

how much did this mf get paid

[humble citrus]

keep in mind that the aeon he’s looking for is assumed to be dead for quite a while now

[foggy cobalt]

LMAO

hes so babygirl

[foggy cobalt]

wait

oh no

robin is adorable

I CANT GET TOPAZ AND ROBIN THOUGH!!

AHHHH

[jaunty badger]

What’s it do again

[foggy cobalt]

im missing out on so many jades bro

i just gotta grind SU

..

[jaunty badger]

Also I finished highschool

[foggy cobalt]

WOOO

[jaunty badger]

Got the diploma so done forever

[foggy cobalt]

yippee

[foggy cobalt]

what do you plan to do now

[jaunty badger]

Now I can spend money on gacha games and not worry about people in highschool thinking about it

[jaunty badger]

Gacha

[foggy cobalt]

LMAO

i can get 920 jades from SU and thats just gold and gears

[jaunty badger]

Community college though

[humble citrus]

have you tried wuthering waves

[foggy cobalt]

i just gotta

play..

[jaunty badger]

Do I like genshin is what you’re asking

[humble citrus]

its not but they have similarities

it has a better combat system

and teams are 3 characters instead of 4

[foggy cobalt]

.

[jaunty badger]

Also damn idk how well this would work

I’m running topaz, aventurine, robin, and ratio

So there aren’t a lot of debuffs

[humble citrus]

topaz has 1, aventurine has 1

[jaunty badger]

The ult yeah

[humble citrus]

topaz at E1 gets another debuff

[jaunty badger]

Does the ratio one from the ult count

[humble citrus]

yes

[shrewd plinth]

Aventurine at either S1 or with Trend gets another, and Topaz' S1 gives her one as well

[humble citrus]

and one of his traces inflicts eff res down

so you should be able to do run ratio’s LC with that team

you can also put Trend of the Universal Market on aventurine to spread burn

if you have trouble with debuffs then you can use guinafen instead of robin.

[jaunty badger]

Boothill is what

[fiery geyser]

hunt

[humble citrus]

and a break-focused damage char

[shrewd plinth]

And he's gonna be releasing in 3/4 days!

[jaunty badger]

First I got to get him

The. I got to get his light cone

[humble citrus]

unfortunately he’s a hunt character so he will never be meta /s

[shrewd plinth]

(I think) Apocalyptic Shadow would say otherwise

[jaunty badger]

Is that just big single boss fights

[shrewd plinth]

From what we know, it's a new endgame mode that focuses on fighting bosses

Though there's no actual details on it yet, since it's gonna release with 2.3 I think

So we'll likely get something on it in a couple weeks

[humble citrus]

three targetable parts, he's unviable /s

[shrewd plinth]

But Boothill wants additional, weaker enemies to take out. So checkmate

[humble citrus]

why?

[shrewd plinth]

In the creator server footage that come out earlier this week, he wants enemies that can be easily broken/killed to give himself a stacking buff that boosts his Breaking power

And it's a pretty major buff, since at the full 3 stacks, he gets +150% Break Efficiency and +170%(?) Break Damage

So he can absolutely chunk toughness bars with his Enhanced Basic

And deal a metric crap load of damage afterwards

[jaunty badger]

@plain bluff

remember that one lightcone i got that had topaz on it

im so good

i got two

also this

[plain bluff]

congrats

Trend is great for Acheron

and Landau is good for any preservation

[jaunty badger]

yeah acheron is a great character

if i had her...

[wicked gazelle]

Give

[jaunty badger]

i got two

[fiery geyser]

Ratio also likes it

tbf half of B and below is me not knowing enough to like them

im sure i'd like hanya after i do more story quests with her

[reef elm]

I should do the fyexstroll quest

[jaunty badger]

where would you put pom pom

[humble citrus]

bottom of B only because I don't interact with them that much

[jaunty badger]

i get your D tier

why is gepard so low

and sampo

[reef elm]

Bronya in b tier tho

[humble citrus]

he's too much of a narc, and sampo is there bc he's a smarmy jackass. Congrats on the VA for making me hate him but not to the point where i switch languages.

[jaunty badger]

spitting on the gepard one

once they drop more sampo lore everything will change

[humble citrus]

upper B tier, the cutoff for characters is aventurine; him and below i don't like.

[humble citrus]

Lore won't change his voice or the fact he's an ass

Ky got DI but he still isn't top 1, both gameplay and lore-wise.

[jaunty badger]

serval?

is she just boring

[humble citrus]

yeah...

She's interesting but i'm not really excited to learn more about her.

[jaunty badger]

That’s how I feel about everyone on jarilo

[jaunty badger]

Oh right someone posted the genshin anime trailer right

or was it just a short

[mortal osprey]

Job done

[foggy cobalt]

now question is

what lc do i put on her

cuz ratio is taking the free 5 star lc

[fiery geyser]

do you have swordplay

[humble citrus]

you could use this one;

for topaz to put the mark on an enemy at the beginning of battle and generating SP before ratio’s turn

[foggy cobalt]

i do, s2

[fiery geyser]

It’s a good option on her

[foggy cobalt]

i am only running hsr

after decreasing some settings its now at 50%

which is better

[foggy cobalt]

this game is so un serious

[shrewd plinth]

Either Swordplay, or either of the Two MoC Lightcones. Final Victor works out to be better than Swordplay by a little bit, but only by about 1%

[foggy cobalt]

i have s2 swordplay but ill be able to get s5 final victor Eventually

so i guess temporarily i can level swordplay on her

is the uhh

nvm

[shrewd plinth]

Sounds like a solid plan

[foggy cobalt]

cool, instead of 80% cpu like before, now im at 20%

all by decreasing it from the highest settings to like

mid tier

lfg

idk why hsr is so much more fun to explore than genshin, the open world game

holy FuA

HOLY FuA

THIS IS SUCH A FUN TEAM!!

IM HAVING REAL FUN

my dumbass being like "why is topaz's damage so low?"

thatd do it

ROBIN IS SO GOOD

who can give me 100 dollars

i feel like having harmony mc in this team would go crazy against imaginary enemies

idk why i went through the stages of grief in reverse

because now i want robin as well as topaz

i cant get 180 pulls in 2 days

imagine dying to a piece of chalk

[toxic rain]

Fomo hitting you hard

Just play the game who cares about not having character save for the rerun you’re chilling bro

[mortal osprey]

Impossible to have every character

[foggy cobalt]

Yes

Enigmata is so sick

[humble citrus]

can’t wait for the shadow clone character to drop

or healer that just goes “that damage? didn’t take it”

though i guess fu xuan is kind of like that already

[rocky palm]

Aventurine

in what regard

[rocky palm]

At healing

[humble citrus]

luocha technically

[plain bluff]

just get HuoHuo unless you specifically need Luocha

[humble citrus]

but huohuo is better in every other way

[rocky palm]

I was asking bc of the question

[plain bluff]

ah

Luocha does provide a shield at E2

[rocky palm]

Imo FX doesn't really count as a healer, though she does provide it

[plain bluff]

so, in a sense, he's a healer that nullifies damage

[rocky palm]

She's more like a sponge

[humble citrus]

Desctruction trailblazer best healer /s

[lilac spire]

oh apparently there are lines in the sand and genshin fans attacking wuthering waves fans on the internet and visversa?

isnt genshin coming to an end soon? wasnt the original plan like only 3-5 years?

[plain bluff]

genshin is too successful to end anytime soon

[lilac spire]

but im not wrong right? the original plan was just a handful of years of support right?

[plain bluff]

yes, according to https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2021/08/05/genshin-impact-has-a-four-year-four-region-roadmap-dendro-nation-next/

[fiery geyser]

So after 2025, there’s gonna be genshin 2

[plain bluff]

Genshin Impact 2nd

[lilac spire]

i liked the original edit cuz then it would lead into genshin impact third strike

[plain bluff]

I liked that one too

I was trying to make it like Honkai Impact 3rd

[rocky palm]

Is HSR also slated to end eventually?

[split zenith]

Hoyoverse fans just fight everyone on twitter thats why I dont fuck with the community that much

[plain bluff]

there's no roadmap (unlike genshin)

but all gachas will end eventually

though I doubt that HSR will end anytime soon

[split zenith]

yeah no def not

there is so much shit that can be answered in the world of star rail

i cant see a world where fgo is just over

I can't see a world where fgo ever gets QoL updates

[lilac spire]

its had so many in my time

[plain bluff]

it's gotten a few since then

like blue apples

but development has definitely slowed down

[lilac spire]

fast forwarding skills was so good

made lottos not suck ass

well

as much ass

[plain bluff]

100 roll was also amazing for that

having to press the 10 roll button hundreds of times

for each lotto

wasn't an enjoyable experience

[lilac spire]

i dont blame people for using a bot for lottos cuz that was ass

[wicked gazelle]

there is also rumored to be two additional acts after snezhnaya

Therefore Sampo is Nanook

And Boothill is also Pom Pom

It’s true that you have Aven but like MoC or literally any other end game content that requires two teams

It’s justifiable

You can have the same unit on both teams

[foggy cobalt]

hey guys

opinions on boot hill?

[shrewd plinth]

He's looking like a really powerful unit provided you have good supports, like HMC, Ruan Mei and/or Bronya/Sparkle.

His only real problem is that he doesn't deal damage until you break an enemy, so certain enemies will be harder for him to take out

[fiery geyser]

[jaunty badger]

He’s a cowboy and I like cowboy characters so I’ll get him no matter what

I can make a hmc, bronya, boothill team

I don’t know who else to add though

[lilac spire]

why are you guys talking about heavy mob cemetery here?

[fiery geyser]

[shrewd plinth]

Gallagher is the best sustain for any Break DPS, but otherwise just go for a decent sustain

[jaunty badger]

I knew someone was gonna say that

[jaunty badger]

I would use Gallagher but I never got him

I’m thinking lynx

OR

I get super lucky

Believe in gambling

And get a 5 star gepard

[shrewd plinth]

Lynx is a solid idea!

[foggy cobalt]

I DIDNT GET GALLAGHER

I ROLLED LIKE 80 TIMES ON ACHERON VANNER

I JUST DIDNT GET HIM

[reef elm]

I bet he’s a son of a nice lady

[jaunty badger]

who did you choose for the free character you could choose from the event

[foggy cobalt]

WHAT??

[shrewd plinth]

I only got E4 Gallagher even though I pulled for E2 Acheron...And one of his dupes was from the selector

[jaunty badger]

the bar one

[foggy cobalt]

[jaunty badger]

its the one where you serve drinks

[foggy cobalt]

NOOOOO

[shrewd plinth]

Things like event Lightcones and 4 Star Selectors are only available during the intial event period

Also, speaking of which, do the current filmmaking event to get a super good Harmony Lightcone that's Robin's best F2P option

[foggy cobalt]

i

does it expire today

[shrewd plinth]

Nah, you've got until the end of the patch

So 3 weeks

[foggy cobalt]

ok

idek why they’d keep the events around if you dont get the same rewards

[shrewd plinth]

For the story stuff

[foggy cobalt]

i feel like that sucks

[shrewd plinth]

Some of the event stories are pretty integral to getting further understanding into certain things, like the Bartending event's story telling you how the Troupes of enemies came to be on Penacony.

Plus some of them have pretty cool mechanics that look neat, and it'd be kind of a waste of dev time just to have those completely disappear

He's pretty sick

You can get super deep into how you manage his energy/break as well

Actually, it's his energy trace that's most amazing

You can do standoff, use the ult to delay another enemy, and then do eBasic to recover 20~30 energy immediately

friend sent this saying this is a dumb game for dumb people but i dont get it

[plain bluff]

when you level relics and hit certain benchmarks, a stat on them gets upgraded (at random) or added (if the relic has 3 substats to begin with)

this happens every 3 levels

they're probably just frustrated with what stats got upgraded

since atk% and crit% are usually more wanted than hp% & def

[lilac spire]

oh thats what the 2 is for

[plain bluff]

it got upgraded twice

[lilac spire]

man so you need to roll the stats you want on the item but then level it up and hope the right stats upgrade later?

[plain bluff]

yeah

[lilac spire]

[plain bluff]

[reef elm]

Yeah…

And you need good mainstat and you need the rolls on that to be better than the current one

[lilac spire]

that sounds like hell on earth

cuz getting the resources to level that is a pain in the ass sint it

[plain bluff]

yeah

...

it's definitely something

lol

[mortal osprey]

such is the permanent grind in these games. Maxing the attributes of a character can be done and dusted, but getting good gear.... theoretically never ends

if it ever ended, then players wouldn't have much to do

in periods of event/story downtime

did main protag get nerfed that bad?

back in my day they were goated

[fiery geyser]

Only one of their variants (destruction physical)

[plain bluff]

they didn't get nerfed, but they don't do anything well

they're an all-rounder, but they're not good at anything

so there's little reason to use them over almost any other character

the main protag is still very good as a whole, though

their most recent form is near the top of the tier list

and will only get better with future units

[lilac spire]
