pvp-arena

[fathom rock]

You got this

[oblique igloo]

Not like pvp

[shell hazel]

I think you can do it yep

[fathom rock]

Ch22 is also doable
23+ gonna get messy

[shell hazel]

if you can do 22 my experience is you can do until like 24 ish

at the least, some annoying stages there

[oblique igloo]

You know that I only beaten nihil because I was like "maybe I should use treasure viper" and she added enough dammage 💀

Btw are eunwha/emma any good for pvp?

[fathom rock]

Meh eunhwa nope, Emma I haven't seen anyone use her

[shell hazel]

vesti might wind up being

we need to see in a day or so

[onyx scaffold]

[coarse solstice]

@gritty ridge Better than expected

[shell hazel]

I died

[dim escarp]

ripidi

[shell hazel]

perfectly countered

[dim escarp]

I real need to give CS to cinderella / noah team

[shell hazel]

every counter that could be in the right place was lol

the rng of the rng arena

[dim escarp]

[hard cliff]

Yes, I manage to get in top 8

[shell hazel]

we go again next CA

[dim escarp]

[shell hazel]

my scarlet needs some rolls as feel like I lost a couple of matches with her where if she had some atk rolls I could have won them

but otherwise not really a ton of improvements I can make necessarily beyond trying to roll all my batteries to 18% CS or w/e

which isn't easy

[dim escarp]

what's the skill recommandation for poli's treasure ?

[coarse solstice]

2Bs damage 👀👀👀

@crystal flicker check this 2B match out

[shell hazel]

guessing alice got indom

[coarse solstice]

Yeah

[swift mango]

Basically any team can win against this team.

[dim escarp]

anyone ?

[swift mango]

bruh

Glad I have never lose this bad.

maybe it's today. Maybe.

[swift mango]

@raven plover got champ with old Emma. He lost the most with it though.

[glad meteor]

We get alice dupes from standard recruits mileage. Imagine having higher sbs hp

[leaden canyon]

man second time in a row people voted majority against me and i won lol

tbf they voted for a CA winner and sin whale

[swift mango]

I remember first time I got champ, all 6 matches were majority against me.

[unreal barn]

It's always the underdogs that end up winning it seems like

[shell hazel]

nothing really wrong with my teams I think it was just counters in the right places

and my opponent had reasonably invested teams

[hollow lagoon]

time to see if i died

[shell hazel]

#pvp-arena message

as I mentioned on this one I was pretty sure I was dead 😄

[hollow lagoon]

i\ll look for u

[swift mango]

It's really today.

At least I verified that Emi Jackal indom bad.

[hollow lagoon]

i lived

[shell hazel]

yeah I saw 3-2, champ run?

[hollow lagoon]

my stall won?

interesting

[shell hazel]

5-0 bro 😄

[onyx scaffold]

nobody can beat me in CA

mr. #5 SpA

[swift mango]

My anchor lost. No buggy Midhara, I almost won though.

[hollow lagoon]

eah my blanc didnt burst in time

[swift mango]

Luck isn't on my side this time.

[shell hazel]

my SBS indom lost to 2RL scarlet as I expected
my 2RL scarlet couldn't chomp through the stall comp pretty much expected (weirdly the 3rd time I had that same match in this CA)
my Cindy jackal/noah couldn't beat SBS indom on the same sort of speed again sort of expected
my SG couldn't eat through the biscuit locked cindy
my stall died to SG comp who just pummelled nero I guess to death pretty quick even with tempura and SR-15 😛

basically I knew I'd lost 2 matches and I wasn't that confident on any of the other 3 when looking at this yesterday

[hollow lagoon]

[shell hazel]

I already posted it lmao #pvp-arena message

me and blood 5-0 bros

[hollow lagoon]

you and @swift mango must hate tuesdays

[raven plover]

insane luck that season, using emma and no biscuit

[swift mango]

Classic case of slower indom win.

[hollow lagoon]

that biscuit...

[shell hazel]

that was my own match assessment yesterday haha

just had to turn the ? into L 😄

[hollow lagoon]

my cinderella team killed a stall

[shell hazel]

yeah it can happen if you got lots of cores and decent invest

some rng on cindy killing enough

I'd give my cindy a higher chance to take stall out than say my 2RL scar atm :p

[swift mango]

Moran just ain't it bro.

[terse dragon]

If your Laplace has this equipment....

[shell hazel]

207K 😮

think that's the highest I saw

@umbral belfry you dead or alive?

[swift mango]

The rest is just nothing new to talk about.

Noise+Helm is just worse than Moran+Helm

And biscuit win against SG.

[hollow lagoon]

nah their rapunzel and mana was weak

[shell hazel]

in any case just time to rebuild and send the next rng arena teams for next CA 😄

I can sleep now

[swift mango]

At least my joke teams made it to top 32.

[hollow lagoon]

bro's ca team has higher cp than mine

[shell hazel]

cp doesn't mean loads though

[umbral belfry]

I'm working rn

[shell hazel]

my opponent was sufficiently invested to be a threat

[umbral belfry]

but I am bc bad matchups

[shell hazel]

in the places where it mattered the most

[umbral belfry]

lock in hippo

[shell hazel]

I can't lock in I'm dead hehe

[swift mango]

My opponent basically all max core whale with current top meta teams but use Bay instead of Nero.

[hollow lagoon]

@shell hazel ur whale died before you did tho

[shell hazel]

yep i made it further

that's a win in my books

[hollow lagoon]

well the 2 others in my bracket expired before i did

[shell hazel]

16 is fine

it's one of my better ones even

[hollow lagoon]

its fine given one time i didnt even make it out of 64 i think

[shell hazel]

so I knew I was dead already I would be more surprised if I wasn't

[hollow lagoon]

welp of the surivours i have the highest cp

hopefully things go well

[shell hazel]

curious to see the layout of the top 8

[hollow lagoon]

i just want the 2 win frame

the day that happens is the day my CA only teams gets no more investment

my regular spa teams will will get love tho

[shell hazel]

I just wanted to win twice so I could bet against myself and get the loser frame 😄

yeah I'm at the point of mostly doing those anyway so I can keep on hitting whale boy for a while

[swift mango]

I'm lazy to build new nikkes teams next season.

Would just copy pasta some of my old teams and done.

[shell hazel]

they'll need to escape my CP to like 441 or something to get away

I like following the CA stuff but ultimately doesn't mean much if I win or lose

still I want my teams to do well if possible

[hollow lagoon]

seems like everyone use similar stuff now days anyway

sg/indom/2rlscarlet/cinderella noah/stall of sorts

[swift mango]

Basically

Rosa SG
Nero Moran Helm Rapu
Noise+Noah+Cindy+Jackal
Scar+Trina
Blanc+Emi+Biscuit+Midhara+Rumani

The current CA meta line up.

[hollow lagoon]

well u have emi

i'm curious no one fitting Sanis? or does that go in sg team

[onyx scaffold]

does anyone know how red chip spa get generated? like per 10 sec or what?

[placid bloom]

SAnis only works in stall team but she is worse than Helm now

[swift mango]

Per minute I guess

At least not per 6 seconds.

[placid bloom]

well it should calc the exact amount of time you hold but I don't think it pays out instantly

[hollow lagoon]

so literal best way to get highest points is to claim before reset??

[placid bloom]

no it auto collects everything you didn't claim

[swift mango]

No.

[hollow lagoon]

[placid bloom]

so it doesn't matter if you never collect after your first collect

[hollow lagoon]

so game auto claims lets say for example 3 hours if u didnt claim 3 hour before reset?

[placid bloom]

yes, down to the exact second

[hollow lagoon]

oh nice

[placid bloom]

so you can keep your score hidden if people are not tracking you

not that it should matter if you are holding rank 1 perma

[hollow lagoon]

a korean is closing in in terms of sync but it will still be a while

[swift mango]

Red one doesn't have a limit and automatically claims all at the end of the season.

The other chip has a limit and need to be claimed every 22 hours or so if you were high rank

[hollow lagoon]

[onyx scaffold]

what if u hold a rank for 22 seconds?

[swift mango]

You could test it by open the app, claim and wait 22 seconds.

[placid bloom]

if you get deranked after 22 seconds it will calc your salary at previous rank for 22 seconds + separately calc your salary for your current rank when you actually get paid

[viscid urchin]

@tropic summit I have raised Trina, Noah and Rumani as suggested. Is there anything I should be changing for the SPA DEF now that I have done so? At present, with the set ups I had before the CP is near 2.8million

@tropic summit for the record, I am using this suggested set up on SPA

[dim sapphire]

Just saw a comp in ca noah whiffed lol

I thought whiff is not a thing anymore

Maybe i saw it wrong

The projectile is green

[coarse solstice]

Thoughts?

I am top defending

[placid bloom]

t1 win
t2 loss, your Pepper will die to bugged Scar counter and you have no B1
t3 depends on who has better Rosanna
t4 win
t5 win

[coarse solstice]

Mines better

[placid bloom]

you should win, their Noir will die before your BSoda does so even if he has max s2 he should not one-shot both BSoda + Drake but you will one-shot theirs

maybe your BSoda dies but that's all

[shell hazel]

@coarse solstice champ run? 😮

2B! champ run

[coarse solstice]

So close. Maybe

She deserves a crown

[onyx scaffold]

weird that chall 3 gives 10 points per min

[placid bloom]

actually t5 kinda weird cuz you have Noise taunt prio

[coarse solstice]

Her CS is lower than noahs

[placid bloom]

calculate by seconds

you gained extra .17 coins from rounding

[onyx scaffold]

it should work the same way like outpost

[placid bloom]

Idk if outpost has exact timer the way PvP does

[onyx scaffold]

and then this

[placid bloom]

hmm

[onyx scaffold]

hmm right

[placid bloom]

guess I am wrong

you got scammed 5 coin

[onyx scaffold]

i think it is calculated the moment hh:mm:00

then the game check your rank and give you point

if u have like 10.5 chip. it will give you 10 and add the rest to next time

[placid bloom]

5 coin diff is a lot though

[onyx scaffold]

no

[placid bloom]

Idk why the gap is that big

[onyx scaffold]

u calculate it wrong

i got 49 coins because it is reward for 5 minutes, not 5.5 min

[placid bloom]

[onyx scaffold]

5*9.83 = 49.15
so the game gives me 49

[umbral belfry]

@coarse solstice sending you pie buffs 🥧

[onyx scaffold]

could anyone predict this? my brain hurts.

investment plays big roles here i think

[signal hull]

I'm in top 8! Woo!
...But judging by the votes that's where it stops -.-

[past marsh]

L W W L W

[onyx scaffold]

no way left win right game 5

[past marsh]

[placid bloom]

Scar Mermaid into 2x Jackal bug feeds them to 1RL I think

they might die to Rei nuke before Scar can even burst

[gaunt pulsar]

this wouldn't work agains't 2rl scarlet right? biscuit cannot invul all 3, only 2, so he cannot even ensure right nikke survives not to mention speed

[past marsh]

Seems like your brain function well while having a headache

[onyx scaffold]

i mean it is non-jackal vs jackal
team 1 to 4 are tricky ones

[placid bloom]

nvm it's not 1RL, it's more like 1.5RL

but Rei still gonna burst faster than Scar

[onyx scaffold]

the moment noah burst. even rei doesn't nuke. manual hit during 3 sec enough to kill

[placid bloom]

t1 SG probably suicide into 2x Scar counter bug

[past marsh]

He already knows the result

[onyx scaffold]

stop bruh. im serious

[placid bloom]

t2 SG kills Rapu, Ros disables Mana revive and one-shots Helm

[past marsh]

Just put it in nikke.work

Predict the cs

[placid bloom]

t4 slower indom should win

especially since right side has Mihara DoT

[onyx scaffold]

also biscuit

[placid bloom]

t3 depends on invest, probably check both their prev match history and see if they had that match before and who won

I feel like stall should win in theory

cuz LapT should be able to kill Noise pretty well

actually LapT gonna get taunted by Noah burst, so she will hit Noah and splash Biscuit + Noise

double elec getting hit by iron

[onyx scaffold]

t3 i think noah will burst and helm will not nuke because of shield thencindy kill helm and laplace.

those 101010 nero and moran are another story

might be able to 2v5

[placid bloom]

Helm should be 74% dmg reduc if it's 10/10/10 Nero Moran and SR15 and lv7+ tempering, it's possible to survive Cinderella nuke if not crit

if crit then

[onyx scaffold]

i dont believe in crit but i believe in 90%+ ele cindy

[placid bloom]

I don't think LapT can die though

[gaunt pulsar]

my screenshot are different from posted above, it's commander level 200 CA scar vs cindy, but i'm unsure on biscuit interaction with so many defenders vs 2rl scar

[onyx scaffold]

check the speed? https://nikke-deck.web.app/

[gaunt pulsar]

it's 2rl vs 4rl, already checked

[placid bloom]

they are dead before Cinderella can burst

Biscuit cannot save from 100 to 0

Crown will trigger one Biscuit proc cuz Scar 2x counter, the second one probably won't trigger ever

[onyx scaffold]

then scar win

[placid bloom]

because team insta dies

[gaunt pulsar]

ah, i see

[placid bloom]

well Crown will live for like 2 extra seconds

[worthy knoll]

Prolly will trigger onto Cindy getting hit by RH, Helm and Scar S2.. but ehh doesn't matter as long Noise and Rumani is dead, no B1. With those no core and no doll, impossible for them to survive

[onyx scaffold]

man. that Rei team is 2RL

i think that sugar guy is the only one with 25% cs emi in my bracket

[tropic summit]

@umbral crown f**k i won

my credit boxes

bay tanked the whole cindy nuke

their SG team somehow failed killing noise

what happened here is beyond me

it was single B1 noise in p1 against SGs on attacking side

this one is also priceless

and slow cindy on 5/0 streak

another nero moran bites the dust

[onyx scaffold]

cindy p1 lel

[tropic summit]

there's noway i win next one either way, if i do this game really broke with latest bugs

[onyx scaffold]

it is not bugs

it is seasonal buffs

[tropic summit]

indeed

[placid bloom]

there's no maint tomorrow right

so no chance of buffs being removed before finals

[umbral belfry]

rail in top 8

time for the pvp teacher to get his frame at last

[placid bloom]

I am surprised how fast the pies got knocked out this time

I didn't even realize ace lost

this Seung guy with his faker teams

[umbral belfry]

we got eaten

but to be fair my loss didn't surprise me at all

I had really bad matchups

at least now I can sleep

[jagged mesa]

guys i will be requesting help with CA predictions

at some point

im tired of losing one bet every single time

[placid bloom]

there's no way you still don't have both frames

[jagged mesa]

im going to bash my head in if i miss it again

[jagged mesa]

i lost my last like 3 CA by one bet each

[umbral belfry]

my lunch just ended sorry ash

[jagged mesa]

to be fair though i havent had the time to sit down and examine, and also im a noob because im almost full pve invest

[placid bloom]

I am also almost caught up to Hime in campaign, why you slack

[jagged mesa]

you already left me in game twice, i expected nothing more from you

[umbral belfry]

just for that when I'm home im.gonna push

okay bye bye

[placid bloom]

[jagged mesa]

hime just beats me up for months and then leaves me in the dust

[placid bloom]

tbh I can't even clear 27-1, I time out on the target because too much deficit

[jagged mesa]

i beat 23-21 and then got stuck on 23-23 like a silly goose

but to be fair, even though my cp isnt as low as the lowest clears, my synchro is lowest by at least 10 so my cp padded OLs dont help at all

[placid bloom]

well there is always Retro, lowest sync and lowest CP in ch26

just have 50 Atk 100 ele Rapi

[jagged mesa]

best i can do is black line DEF cindy

[onyx scaffold]

worthless against Vesti

[jagged mesa]

vestiz nuts

[quartz rover]

How do some of you put ca teams vs another on a image

[onyx scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/guy-long-hair-mustache-magic-shia-labeouf-gif-17741293

[shell hazel]

you as well? 🙁

[shell hazel]

congrats but also wtf 😄

[umbral crown]

But rail, always believe in yourself

[tropic summit]

bay pulling out a full block and my noise noah surviving SG pressure was not within my expectations

from expected 2-3 to 4-1 is something else

[quartz rover]

Right team is on the bottom, that means defense right

[umbral crown]

Hahaha big stonks

Now it your time to win

[tropic summit]

gonna watch em now i'm still unbelieving, but split tanking making wonders

[tropic summit]

next matchup has 3 counters again tho against me

[umbral crown]

Trust your investment

[tropic summit]

yeah ok split tank saved noise's ass

[umbral crown]

Ane noise noah make a good interaction together

[tropic summit]

for DR ye

noise taunt priority would've been very dead there

[umbral crown]

Now make your noah max skill

[tropic summit]

let's see bay full block

untreasured

oh wow kinda clutch this one, didn't even get moran B1

[shell hazel]

is your bay treasured Rail?

[tropic summit]

no

[shell hazel]

my whale appears to have given up for the day

[tropic summit]

my bay is 2OL 4/4/4

untreasured

[shell hazel]

I wonder if treasure might actually make her worse here?

[tropic summit]

theoretically no, treasure should be an upgrade stat wise and a tad extra healing

also ensures she has full cover up

[shell hazel]

that's a slowish cindy, 2.5RL at the best

depends on their CS

[tropic summit]

she tanked the full snapshot part

then distributed the afterhits

if moran bursted it would've been less painful

[shell hazel]

is BayT the next thing to build then? 😄

[tropic summit]

she's situational

but i think she has value in SParena

[shell hazel]

it means splitting out nero/moran ofc, a lot of investment

[tropic summit]

the mere fact you can save a noah by just using bay instead to deal with scarlet can change a lot of things

[placid bloom]

she is definitely better on Atk than Def

[shell hazel]

yeah, I'm going to wait for Vesti testing still I guess

[tropic summit]

in CA it's more about the luck of ordering teams

[fathom rock]

Bay won't self taunt a siren onto her

[placid bloom]

but on Atk doesn't really need invest unless you need CP

[shell hazel]

top 8 rail is this the furthest yet?

[tropic summit]

she's a good investiment imo, situational and probably not as core as others, but as long as she has usage, it's good

[tropic summit]

i think i always stopped at top16 before

[shell hazel]

plus the lobby screen in my PG-13 game

awesome work sir rail champ run lets go!

what do you make of next match?

[tropic summit]

winning CA without emilia would finally shove it up Blood's rear, so that'd be nice

[shell hazel]

haha

[tropic summit]

i should theoretically lose

but T3 and T5 have been outperforming

[shell hazel]

but we saw how that theory went last time

[tropic summit]

copium i guess

last match 🍿 worthy is against nero moran

[fathom rock]

Bro plays ca just cuz he wanna-

[shell hazel]

is next set also against nero/moran?

it's weird how often your slow cindy has encountered that (my nero/moran also t5!)

[tropic summit]

wow

[fathom rock]

5/0?

[tropic summit]

pulled off the cindy indom

[shell hazel]

I had no major plan

[fathom rock]

Have one next time

[tropic summit]

🍿

[shell hazel]

I will plan my rng deployments 😄

[fathom rock]

If I load this will my data vanish

[tropic summit]

simply put:

[fathom rock]

[shell hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/keep-goin-gif-6704079567258296337

[fathom rock]

That rumani gonna be my gym motivation today

[swift mango]

We know.

[tropic summit]

which then became this

[tropic summit]

i was talking to Retro go back to your cave with your emilia

here, get your pillow

[hollow lagoon]

cinderella indom is bold lol

[tropic summit]

that's fundamentally a meme team

RH should've been midhara but i don't have her built

[swift mango]

@fathom rock OUR Emilia. 🇨🇳

[hollow lagoon]

bro my cinderella has literal the highest hp of anything in my box

[quartz rover]

Does anyone have guesses? Idk a lot of these nikke

[tropic summit]

why the chinese fl- oh.

[quartz rover]

I'm assuming the sg team can burst down noah

[swift mango]

So does @cedar orbit

[cedar orbit]

give me a Cinderella dakimakura

[quartz rover]

Does your Cindy have more hp than everything combined in your box

[hollow lagoon]

ill take one but with Mermaid on the flip side

[cedar orbit]

defenders don't have that much hp

[quartz rover]

Wait, really?

I thought they had tons of defense and hp

[cedar orbit]

my box is big, I own more than 2 Nikkes

[quartz rover]

Most of my box isnt in sync so it'll probably be more than mine

[hollow lagoon]

i mean my cinderella is 5mil and my noah is 4.8

[umbral belfry]

you're out too?

[quartz rover]

So basically the stats stay for CA, but you get no deficit?

[hollow lagoon]

sync 400

[quartz rover]

So theoretically better invested nikke still have an advantage?

[cedar orbit]

yeah, pvp sweats who put 4 ele 4 atk lines on their Jackal have an advantage

[quartz rover]

Does that really matter

What is weak to jackal anyway? Dunno their code

[swift mango]

Guess my vote doesn't matter.

[shell hazel]

very out - 5-0 out lol

every team countered

[drowsy bridge]

Unsure who to vote for here fam

[hollow lagoon]

my noah is max core my cinderella is core6

[shell hazel]

I thought I'd lose so not a big surprise 😄

[tropic summit]

it would matter if you had 20 accounts

[tropic summit]

and you can be sure at least 1 chinese does

[quartz rover]

Any insight?

[tropic summit]

that's just CA, i've lost count of 3 counters matches

i used to distribute power in 4 teams with a filler, 3 main teams and 2 fillers seems to be working better

[shell hazel]

when everyone runs similar teams and has similar investments yep

[tropic summit]

should definitely prioritize archetypes that have less counters overall

[shell hazel]

just placement/attack/def spins

[tropic summit]

nero moran have few
SG teams are balanced
scar-siren or scar-soda can be wild cards
biscuit locked fast teams are sort of safe
w/e leftover with indom/antinuke

[quartz rover]

Is it worthwhile building bay if I get her? I got helm tove and drake treasured now

[shell hazel]

my scar well under-performed this time

[tropic summit]

no siren and no soda right?

[shell hazel]

siren is in my indom team

[tropic summit]

oh oke

[shell hazel]

which actually won 5 and then lost 1 so I'm kind of OK with that

[tropic summit]

glass cannon scarlet is kinda meh, although it would work on nero moran

and on slow teams ofc

[shell hazel]

mine didn't but I think bricked scar

it lost to nero/moran/bay style comps like 3 times 😄

[tropic summit]

double buff and still no wiperoni? dayum

[shell hazel]

yep

I'll get match recordings in a mo, so you can 🍿

[cedar orbit]

yeah, she is busted

but you need treasure as always

[shell hazel]

booba guy quit for today

but I doubt I'll be this successful again given they have a power spike

[quartz rover]

Yeah that's the idea, figured when I get bay ill claim dupes for her since idk what else to use the standard tickets on

[shell hazel]

2.14M to my 1.93M

[coarse solstice]

Ffs

[tropic summit]

wow he's still losing on attack

and even gemmed

[shell hazel]

that was pre 401

yeah he attacked me 5 times today

[tropic summit]

guess you got your first chinnit

full fledged one

[shell hazel]

btw I didn't use any gems today 😄

[cedar orbit]

I'm losing on attacks, because you guys don't give good advice, smh

[tropic summit]

you better not to, it's not worth it

[shell hazel]

I haven't used any yet

[tropic summit]

plus those ppl get off from gemming so you just playing their game

[shell hazel]

I have 1 chip left

I had 2

this was from the 4 freebies a while back

yeah you can see I wait a bit, I don't usually hit back right away, keep em guessing 😄

[tropic summit]

depends who you're asking

[cedar orbit]

what do I use vs 2 RL Moran, Bay, Helm team that kills my Blanc in 2RL?

[tropic summit]

show all 3 teams

[cedar orbit]

no

[shell hazel]

blanc is like natural counter to moran

[tropic summit]

then don't ask for help

[placid bloom]

your Blanc unprotected p1?

[shell hazel]

use cindy p1

4RL

[placid bloom]

how is she dying at 2RL

[cedar orbit]

bro probably has 45% attack on all his units

[quartz rover]

Give blanc all the resources

[swift mango]

When you wanted to have your scarlet avoid stun but their Siren just ded to counter.

[quartz rover]

https://tenor.com/view/tracoon-tracoon-too-rich-tracoon-suffering-from-success-gif-1458791985615496704

[placid bloom]

uh yeah Mermaid/Soda with no link against 2x Scar counter is just death

it will work again after they remove seasonal buffs

[quartz rover]

Did Trina nuke siren

[swift mango]

Soda is burst 1 she usually lives to burst and die. Siren on the other hand.

[placid bloom]

if they are Keripo Scarlet I don't think Soda lives to B1

or get high rolled

[tropic summit]

core 7 temperance 11 should solve that

[swift mango]

Just need another whale's Soda.

[quartz rover]

Just turn her into pop

[cedar orbit]

it's this team, kills Blanc P1 before she can burst, other time kills Trina in P2 before she can burst, both 2 RL teams

[tropic summit]

why are you running unprotected blanc in p1 anyway

[placid bloom]

well you are unprotected Blanc p1 against Emi Laplace, that was missing info

[quartz rover]

Why does bay have "beer" on her shirt

[tropic summit]

bro is trying to drive a lamborghini on the sea

[cedar orbit]

because she is not supposed to die

[placid bloom]

if it was 4 defender + Helm she doesn't die, against Emi LapT she is 100% dead

[quartz rover]

What if you just put blanc in a different position

[swift mango]

They can't stun mine siren scarlet either.

[tropic summit]

all crappy teams in that bracket of yours

[quartz rover]

Blood is playing vs me

[placid bloom]

wtf is that team

[tropic summit]

probably using one of their attack teams on defense

[quartz rover]

Does defense team even matter in rookie

Seems like anyone with an understanding can just build a team to beat it if they care enough

[placid bloom]

it's not 2RL that's all I know

[cedar orbit]

do I just have to become a coward like everyone else and run a stall team into a Cindy team and Noah Biscuit the Scarlet team?

[swift mango]

He is 10 levels above me and his siren core +1 and max doll.

[quartz rover]

Oh since I have helmt can I make easier 2rl teams

[shell hazel]

yes you bamboozle the higher level whale guy into losing

[quartz rover]

[tropic summit]

you know better than me that it does not matter in the slightest

[quartz rover]

How'd you bamboozle him

[swift mango]

It matters that his siren ded to counter or not.

[quartz rover]

That's one tanky team

[tropic summit]

10 levels or not won't matter, go with 61+ levels

[swift mango]

Crit rate + ATK just do wonder.

[shell hazel]

it's probably easy beaten but I was just changing my defence every day 😄

[swift mango]

It's 1 level tier above, my siren survive counter from bad scar easily.

[quartz rover]

I probably can't even kill one of your defenders if they were solo

[shell hazel]

I have invested a lot of random units for CA so my team possibilities are large

[tropic summit]

"bad scar", thank you

[swift mango]

How is your scar? Maybe it's also' bad.

[cedar orbit]

who is gonna top 0,3% solo raid now?

[shell hazel]

any team can be countered tbh, I dare say there is a team that beats this

[shell hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/moran-nikke-nikke-goddess-of-victory-gif-15958302663300684403

[swift mango]

Definitely not me.

[tropic summit]

yes very bad, so bad it can win 20% deficit

#pvp-arena message

[swift mango]

But can you counter kill siren?

[umbral belfry]

ouch

[shell hazel]

see how futile my teams were
the only one I probably should have won is the scar one but she didn't wipe em
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWl9wCzwaqc

[umbral belfry]

I'll watch them after work

[tropic summit]

what's ur scar atk%?

didn't even kill mana

[swift mango]

I mean, even Rakuen zero ATK, 10% Crit rate scarlet could win 20% deficit.

[shell hazel]

0%

[tropic summit]

yes yes you're the best

[umbral belfry]

@shell hazel I'm proud of this tho

[shell hazel]

I have no atk rolls

[tropic summit]

oh ok that kinda answers it

[shell hazel]

yes

but I mean, that wouldn't have won the other matches. I know I need to fix scar 🙂

[glad meteor]

One buffer scalter wiped your Cindy team. The sbs bug working overtime

[shell hazel]

this is basically how mine went lol

[tropic summit]

it is, the proccs are broken

my SBS is also getting better perfomance than it should

[shell hazel]

yeah OK so that also feeds into it as well

[tropic summit]

let alone s.anis

broken atm

[shell hazel]

I probably should have won that one in normal circumstances

[glad meteor]

[shell hazel]

so with fixed scar atk rolls I'd beat that stall comp

and with non bugged SBS I'd not die to the SBS that killed me

that would leave me 3-2 still but I guess the others don't have the same issues

[swift mango]

I use DKW and his Siren still ded.

[cedar orbit]

lucksack

[swift mango]

20% Crit rate so it's 35% Crit per counter. Crit work better with counter than with the wipe.

[worldly osprey]

@swift mango why tho... why aren’t you here, my friend

[tropic summit]

he was too busy building scarlet

[swift mango]

My team this time was full of joke.

And got hard counter by full core+7 whale.

[worldly osprey]

let me see

[tropic summit]

excuses

[swift mango]

Just look at my Anchor lying on the floor.

[worldly osprey]

lol did u forget swap helmt and sanis ?

[shell hazel]

Rail do you think that vesti will wind up being meta?

[tropic summit]

wow centi clutch tho

that's some fine RNG

[swift mango]

Doesn't really matter in this case.

[tropic summit]

inb4 it was her shield procc

[shell hazel]

my rumani almost clutched a game 😄

[tropic summit]

no clue i'm waiting for others to test her

[shell hazel]

1 more day then we see

[worldly osprey]

almost max core

[shell hazel]

I kind of hope she doesn't wind up being one tbh I have enough shit to build atm

[swift mango]

Which unit of his that's not max core?

I see none.

[worldly osprey]

trina just 3 core

[tropic summit]

you can take ur time she won't run away

[swift mango]

Darn so bricked.

[tropic summit]

you're holding top ch rank and you get access to CA every season, you don't have pressure

[shell hazel]

means I also need to pull though

[heavy hearth]

Is Treasure Bay worth it for Special arena or is she more for CA?

[tropic summit]

https://tenor.com/view/money-gif-22552264

[tropic summit]

she's worth if you don't have noah and don't have indom

[shell hazel]

yeah true, though I think eventually I'll partially yield fighting for ch.1 will just hit the booba guy when I can 😄

[tropic summit]

you should, that's the only way to deal with those

don't gem, don't waste time

[shell hazel]

well it seems I can always attack them before the reset

[tropic summit]

and don't give info

[shell hazel]

I'm not even changing my teams atm, just running same ones

I don't even know how they lost today, I didn't do anything new

[heavy hearth]

Thank you. Will save my mats for now. Just missing Noise

[tropic summit]

they reverse engineering to find out your attack teams

[shell hazel]

but if I run the same teams each time what can they learn?

[tropic summit]

go ask them

[shell hazel]

ryokai!

[tropic summit]

from what you showed me, they sound like a special snowflake already anyway

[shell hazel]

[tropic summit]

like most chinnits

[shell hazel]

it's funny, I find it amusing

[tropic summit]

you won't find it funny once it starts being 3 of them

[shell hazel]

for me all I want is ch. 1 this SPA to make them regret all their time wasted on it 😄

[shell hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/totally-spies-sam-clover-cloning-clone-gif-22682836

that is signifying each season shuffle 😄

[tropic summit]

depends on who quit of your brackets

if it's whales quitting, you might get normal lads

if it's the opposite...

[shell hazel]

tbh my last one looked pretty active anyway

1-10 was all active folks

so they just shuffled in a bunch in anyway looked like a full on 50/50 merge

[swift mango]

I give up. The 2 guys in my bracket with siren. Both died to counter every time.

[shell hazel]

not much I can do if they keep shuffling whales in ofc, hopefully the situation won't get worse

[tropic summit]

don't worry, it will always get gradually worse [c] my first boss

[shell hazel]

🙁

[placid bloom]

just hold your spot while transitioning to PvE main

[tropic summit]

the real late game, right here

[shell hazel]

I will do tbh, one day, not in the distant future

[tropic summit]

pvp is more of a temp honeymoon

[shell hazel]

I have certain things I want to hit level/ol wise

[tropic summit]

once you realize how stupid and meaningless it is, you'll want PvE more than PvP

[shell hazel]

once my units are all where I want them I can pve main

[swift mango]

You mean just losing your spot overtime as you transition into PvE main?

[shell hazel]

ah I mean I do like the pve it's why i'm chapter 30 hard

[placid bloom]

yes

[tropic summit]

rephrase it correctly: "i like to suffer through pve"

[shell hazel]

true it's suffering 😄

[swift mango]

[shell hazel]

it's also why I pulled for doros and midhara and things I want to build my raid units out some

[placid bloom]

3% SR on global is not sweaty anyway

[shell hazel]

once I'm satisifed with where my pvp comps are I'll definitely flip mostly to pve build. I'm not far off my skill targets

[swift mango]

Midhara is Arena meta.

[placid bloom]

maybe when you are trying to push 1%

[shell hazel]

I'd want to push for 1% or beyond eventually

[swift mango]

Yeah, just around equal to 5% in SEA.

[shell hazel]

but I don't care for like top 10 or anything

it's too far out there to worry about

just set my sights on 1-3% and go from there, last couple I was closer to 5%

[placid bloom]

imagine surface exploration is sweaty content

[tropic summit]

noway

they don't have the balls to pull that off

[placid bloom]

[swift mango]

Imagine SU creating a none sweaty content.

[shell hazel]

it looks more chill to me

[placid bloom]

surface exploration with no sync cap so you get pummeled by lv2000 enemies

[tropic summit]

just give me a non-rip off, non filler, non repetitive, non budget extra game mode that actually is fun and can be enjoyed

[swift mango]

In before you get to build base, soldiers and it could be attacked by other players.

[shell hazel]

[tropic summit]

you already escaped that hell, you sure you wanna return to it

[swift mango]

Maybe SU would make us return to it.

[tropic summit]

noway, best they can do is just another budget filler mode

mfs got very comfy on their money schemes

[swift mango]

Double game earning would make them bank.

[shell hazel]

that's why they have double effect bug in arena

[tropic summit]

the community surely wouldn't get bait- omg

[shell hazel]

to go with double game earning

[swift mango]

Lure in by ass and spend more money on City sim.

Beat money making City sim war game ever.

[tropic summit]

i forgot blood was a time traveller

[placid bloom]

my union member said it looks like abyssal expedition from AFK Arena, if it is that means they copied 2 modes from that game

[tropic summit]

he did accidentaly mention it the other day

[shell hazel]

they both basically coping civ games

[tropic summit]

4K nikke

[shell hazel]

hexagon movement

[swift mango]

I'm sure it's just some guy hacking me, not me from the future.

[fathom rock]

My na has no emilia and the others can't properly pvp

[swift mango]

Darn you have 2 Emilia. The winner in this chat.

[placid bloom]

I do wonder if we are gonna play with other people though, cuz it seem like for AFK arena more than 1 person is hitting the bosses

[swift mango]

So SU gonna double dip into City sim war game now. Prepare your political class so you could aid your union.

[fathom rock]

Afk arena the game that's not ca mentioned?

[placid bloom]

SU don't need to make their own game mode if other people made it already

just change the char out for Nikke

[fathom rock]

They can use Ai worst case scenario

[tropic summit]

i swear they've gotten so good at ripping off things

most minigames were rip offs of something

they're also masters of resource reusage, look at all the recoloured bosses

[fathom rock]

Last minigame absolutely sucked tho

[tropic summit]

suika game but nikke brand on it

[placid bloom]

and then there is their Eva 1 minigame

Idk who came up with that one

[lone sequoia]

that mini-game was just luck

[swift mango]

This is already half AI creation game. So they could make it full AI creation game in the future.

[placid bloom]

or the Stellar Blade minigame with real time turn based controls

[lone sequoia]

imagine losing with your first shake skill 3 times at +130k

[placid bloom]

[lone sequoia]

also

[swift mango]

Box too full so can't shake anymore.

[lone sequoia]

look at this run

[swift mango]

Yeah, what I said.

[lone sequoia]

no, they always stacked to 1 side and the icons stayed more than 5 sec above the line

[swift mango]

I mean you got too many little heads in the middle that blocked the big heads from combine. I got something like that once and my 4 shakes were all useless.

[fathom rock]

Yeah very rage inducing too

Made me more mad than campaign stage design

[swift mango]

I mean it was planned all along.

We would get our unique nikkes as hero units.

And mass produced Nikke without a brain as soldiers like Nier Collab they just reran.

They would build bunkers, outposts and make a town. Then fighting each other for territory.

..eventually to reclaim the surface they would march their army to fight heretic bosses together.

[umbral belfry]

matching

[lone sequoia]

did we get bad mobs this last story update(?)

[fathom rock]

No new mobs afaik but the stage formations absolutely

Suck

[lone sequoia]

at least no new flag or time gated stages

[fathom rock]

4x glass 2x barbell stage
3x wheel stages
Volleyball peekaboo bulwark spam stages
And it's water weak

And the amount of repeat stages is diabolical

[swift mango]

Imagine the amount of speed up and resources SU could sell.

[tropic summit]

stop slacking and get to outpost lvl 500

[fathom rock]

I am not slacking am trying
Rrh lacking dmg so I'm alicing till game doesn't stutter too much

[tropic summit]

i can't relate, i'm actually f2p unlike some others f2p in this chat

[swift mango]

You mean, shake the box and you loss? I just realized what you mean. It's suck alright.

[fathom rock]

F2p vs F2PBTW

[tropic summit]

the stutter i can understand

some stages have massive FPS drops for no reasons

[nimble swan]

@shell hazel
Damn wtf was that SG attack win against your stall.
I remembered you usually win these, but your nero and helm died pretty fast, that rosa should have had quite some ELE?

[fathom rock]

4 farter crawler spam stage 32-17
By best bet is to mimick what I did in ch31 and rng that 2 untis die at start of boss wave for fps

[tropic summit]

well theoretically helm shouldn't survive rosanna

[nimble swan]

for me Helm always survives with like 1% hp

[tropic summit]

that's because enemy rosanna are probably low on ele atk%

[swift mango]

I mean, bring the outpost building to surface contents so we start to build a surface outpost there. Every building would cost hours to months to years to build and upgrade. So they would sell 24h speed up for 2 dollars or something like that.

[forest zodiac]

Can someone please assist me with this?

[tropic summit]

how did i clear that again

[forest zodiac]

my box

[nimble swan]

i mean if i'm attacking with SG but you right she's low on ELE

[tropic summit]

your teams are on the left

[forest zodiac]

you are the best

[tropic summit]

doublecheck CP before running, ensure you're not in deficit especially on scar team

[forest zodiac]

[tropic summit]

don't. give. them. ideas.

also stay away from that raiding horrible game with microtransactions

[fathom rock]

60fps + power above 850k?

[tropic summit]

hmm probably

i was around 30-35% deficit

and i definitely ran RH and alice B3

[fathom rock]

Well I'm doing 43%

[tropic summit]

rh crown rrh alice helmt

[tropic summit]

you didn't box yet?

[fathom rock]

You outlvl me btw

[fathom rock]

I won't box till 102/h comes to me and that's final

[tropic summit]

oh wow madlad

no wonder you suffering

i suppose if you do get to outpost lvl 500 and THEN box you'd get pretty good min/maxing

[swift mango]

Losing 1000 gem to get back 60 hours core dust or something like that.

[tropic summit]

so you saying what @fathom rock is doing not worth it?

[gritty ridge]

Other than x.anne and sanis coming up, any pvp reruns?

[swift mango]

I mean it's the same in the end, no?

[fathom rock]

Sir what 1k gem loss

[tropic summit]

i dunno i'm not familiar with the min/maxing wipeout/hoarding

[swift mango]

From being bricked in arena.

[tropic summit]

ah that's what he meant

that you would drop in ranks

[fathom rock]

Getting 461 rn would still keep me same rank

[worthy sorrel]

puts you in MC range though, so can start pushing campaign again

[swift mango]

But you would lose rank by being still 461 in 6 months.

[fathom rock]

2k->1.6k Is a loss I'm willing to take for 7 extra levels by ch44

[fathom rock]

Ill need 481 for mc

[tropic summit]

could be reasonable

[fathom rock]

And I can't 461 rn

Also I have like 130k + piggy bank gems Idm

[worthy sorrel]

maybe
hard boss. but possible

[swift mango]

Are you sure it's just that.?

[tropic summit]

what would be lineups for 461 attempt?

i guess it involves ein

[fathom rock]

Are you implying the 361s below will destroy me

[worthy sorrel]

i did cindy/liter/helm/crown/mmast actually

[fathom rock]

I have 4 ele 4 atk ein that I'll use

[tropic summit]

oh the mmast

[fathom rock]

Cindy crown ein liter mmast

[swift mango]

I guess when you are arena bricked already, it doesn't matter.

3000 to 1600 is big. But 2000 to 1600 is small

[tropic summit]

what are the rotations there?

not familiar with mmast tbh

[fathom rock]

Ein first burst and mmast every 3rd burst

[worthy sorrel]

I didn't pilot my mc kill though. Mooey did because that was a new team to try another of our guild mates came up with and i had a strong helm. mooey was able to top 5 low clear, then the other guild mate all time low cleared with that team

I was close on my own, but i probably would have been 470ish before clear without mooey pilot

[tropic summit]

mmast - crown - crown - mmast?

[worthy sorrel]

mooey recorded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9GJ_PlAiyM

[fathom rock]

Crown crown mmast

[tropic summit]

oh alrighty

[fathom rock]

I'll end up running mmast or sanis
My helmT is trash cp and I have 0 reason to fix her

[tropic summit]

||arena||

[fathom rock]

Jokes on you
You know damn well the issue with that

[shell hazel]

yeah not sure what I could have set diff here, nero is SR-15 and tempura level 8 🙁

[tropic summit]

the perfectly balanced and lovely bracket you're in

[umbral belfry]

@fathom rock I told you

[shell hazel]

there's some weird bugs going on atm not impossible for some crazy results

[fathom rock]

[umbral belfry]

it's honk shoo mimimii time for me

[tropic summit]

if one was to ask me "please tell us about the worst kind of bracket you've seen", i'd have the perfect answer

Retro probably has some pented up luck waiting to be released to even it out

[fathom rock]

The 441s there can reach 1m
Did you hit 1m rail

[tropic summit]

with campaign team?

[glad meteor]

[fathom rock]

Half campaign half pvp

[tropic summit]

uhmmmmm

[glad meteor]

475, my proper pvp team can’t reach 1m

[fathom rock]

Bro has 200k cp noah

[tropic summit]

oh i actually do

and it's not even accounting for scarlet

[fathom rock]

I'm just bricc like that then

[tropic summit]

[fathom rock]

Good lines, bad cp on almost all my units

[tropic summit]

well my alice lappy and rh are pretty stocked

helmt is sort of there, SBS is decently stocked

[nimble swan]

Guy might have been critting, but anyway, shit happens. Meanwhhile he's now facing Splirnok guy and i'm baffled he's even in top8. Splirnok goes with the same teams for like 7 seasons now, and 1 is trash, 1 is slow. I have to bet on him all the time and always facing easy opponents.
And my best is top16 still.. and always facing past top 4

[shell hazel]

yeah I notice he always does well but didn't think much of their teams either 😄

[nimble swan]

some are born lucky probably 😄

[shell hazel]

wish it showed the burst stuff from the defender side as well as I'm not sure my moran even burst on my stall comp

my Helm CS needs a bit of work but it's 16% I think with adjutant on

[nimble swan]

hmm yeah, nero seemed to die too early

[shell hazel]

but moran burst is usually effective on it's own at least

she tanked 7M damage

[nimble swan]

yeah it's more than rosa's total dmg

[shell hazel]

I lost 3 at least due to SBS bug we worked out

she's doing more damage than she should so single buff sbs mauled my cindy

2 was my scarlet lack of atk lines, should be lethal against nero/moran with double buff

[nimble swan]

i know about it but i don't know how/why it happens, what's the trigger

[shell hazel]

bunch of units got double effects going on atm

like jackal link gen is doubled

with SBS it means she puts out a lot more damage than she should do, normally I think against my team she'd run out of power by the time her burst ended on indom

[nimble swan]

let me watch that match

[shell hazel]

#pvp-arena message

I lost anyway overall so it's whatever but think normally that one is a win

[nimble swan]

yeah, btw you think your sbs did more dmg than it should against my noah bisc?

[shell hazel]

very possible also 😄

[placid bloom]

don't think there's a reason for it other than potato code, just a bunch of units that have skill 1/2 effects that hit the opponent are hitting twice

[nimble swan]

yeah it felt like an rh buffed sbs

hope they will fix these issues

[placid bloom]

it's every single match too, it's not random

so Scarlet is doing double counter, Jackal is getting double proc

[shell hazel]

yeah hope they address it before next CA

but I'm not necessarily counting on it

[placid bloom]

imagine next CA with Vesti double hitting true damage

[nimble swan]

depends on how many people report it, i think

[shell hazel]

<@&946725432554836008>

[placid bloom]

every team that doesn't have Vesti dead by 2RL

[nimble swan]

bro wtf

[shell hazel]

usual scam shit

[placid bloom]

they changed it to 3 images instead of 4

[shell hazel]

they're learning

sad thing is some people must fall for it or they'd not do it

[nimble swan]

posting pics shouldn't be allowed for beginner "class", but idk how easy it is to level up

i'm also still beginner too lol

[shell hazel]

good luck in top 8 @cunning crown and @hollow lagoon btw 🙂

maybe I should add a Z to my name..

and you could rename to just zilardfx

[shell hazel]

I hope so damn chinnit whales 😄

[hollow lagoon]

u gonna be Zippos?

[nimble swan]

yeah i have it on ps5 😄

[shell hazel]

did you complete it?

[shell hazel]

truly we need more 😄

from our PG-13 games

[tropic summit]

gotta develop those assets

[nimble swan]

no, actually i started playing, but I thought I would buy an OLED tv cuz that's what this game deserves

[shell hazel]

that is true

in any case this game is hard as nails on hard mode start lol

it's not really designed for it, so the start is a bit rough

once you get a few bosses down it levels out a bit as you unlock stuff

yeah was pretty hard, i was also out of shape playing action games

and I never played soulslikes for example

[hollow lagoon]

souls are harder ngl

well, souls parry is rough, but dodge is way op i guess

[shell hazel]

hard mode start def puts it up there 😄

I rec just playing on normal if you're rusty

or not that souls vet type

it's super punishing on hard 😄

[nimble swan]

i can never understand those guys that beat bosses with lv1 character wearing only underwear 😄

these games are too hard

4-1 Keripo - sasuga

[nimble swan]

yeah, btw it's the only boss i beat and i stopped the game exactly after this boss

[shell hazel]

play on normal when you play you'll have more fun that way imo - if you finish it you can opt to new game hard and suffer, or new game + hard and you carry over stuff

I only rec hard mode to those who can beat sekiro 🙂

[nimble swan]

you play on pc?

[shell hazel]

yeah

[nimble swan]

on PC there are some crazy mods.. 😄

[shell hazel]

I'll be honest, as good as it sounds

I'm kind of cool with the base game as intended, sometimes less is more

I think naked eve would get a bit boring (don't kill me) 😄

[nimble swan]

nah I think the same

[shell hazel]

I actually like changing my outfit a lot, sometimes I'm in the fanservice ones, sometimes it's the other ones

[nimble swan]

I personally think these nude mods are funny if you are 15 years old or so

but when you are an adult it gets boring

[shell hazel]

you can run around as 2B from Nier as well with the DLC (I got the game with the skin for Scarlet and the DLC)

[nimble swan]

yeah i have both DLCs

[nimble swan]

I like the many outfits too, but tbh I like the original design a lot

[shell hazel]

I just change mine a lot as I run about keeps it fresh 🙂

[nimble swan]

well, you now made me want to play it, i planned to play the ps5 anyway

😄

also nier automata and 2b as a character are one of my favorites

[shell hazel]

it's great I think, they actually made a good game that is more than just eve fanservice

[nimble swan]

i read there will be a sequel, and they said they will improve the story, but idk i thought the story was good anyway

[shell hazel]

bit cliche but servicable, not a bad story some plot holes in it

they did a good job with the various locations and the spirit of exploration was usually rewarded as well

like when I'm playing god of war, run about and find random stuff is pretty fun 😄

highly recommend sekiro as well btw fantastic game if you like the combat in SB

[nimble swan]

yep 😄

my friend also recommends it, but he said it's not a typical "starter souls game"

as it's one of the more difficult ones

[shell hazel]

I prefer the style the combat is more fast paced and parry based

other souls games are more about dodge and roll 😄

this is more 1 vs 1 duels with your skills and awareness in focus

[nimble swan]

he said it's kind of a "rhythmic game"

[shell hazel]

good skill curve and challenge without being super unfair, if I die (and I did a lot) then it's a skill issue I know I can solve it with effort

sure, you get into the flow of the combat and have to time your parries to the incoming attacks

but it's good I do like it 🙂

[nimble swan]

I doesn't own it but will add it to my list, probably that or elden ring will be my first souls 😄

i'm not a newbie though when it comes to gaming, so i will get accustomed to the difficulty

as a kid i retried crash bandicoot levels countless times.. lol

[glad meteor]

lol. Yeah i did too

[nimble swan]

so you know the pain, good

[fathom rock]

Whats crahs bandicoot

[shell hazel]

I'd say sekiro - fast paced parry combat
elden ring - more traditional focus on dodge/roll mechanics but cool fantasy vibe

sekiro is fixed diff

elden ring you can go grind levels

[keen vapor]

Woah

[nimble swan]

tbh i prefer nowadays the ones where are less grinding and rpg elements, like too many development options etc

so i will prob choose Sekiro

[shell hazel]

sekiro then maybe - it's designed and coded around that fixed diff being challenging yet rewarding

and you don't need to go grind really (I did a little for the skill points haha)

[nimble swan]

I like rpgs, played a lot with BG3 for example, or JRPGs, but sometimes i just prefer more action and less grinding when it's an action game

[shell hazel]

BG3 is great

[nimble swan]

guess the Tav name comes from there 😄

[shell hazel]

it does 😄

[nimble swan]

I even played BG2

[keen vapor]

You've never lost in PVP while I lost a token yesterday

[umbral belfry]

same

[nimble swan]

Anyway, i think I will play stellar blade and if I finish before getting an OLED tv i will just replay it on hard if I have one

[umbral belfry]

also rail how does it look for you in top 8?

[tropic summit]

i should've been ded at top16, i will probably be ded at top8

[shell hazel]

whos fault was that (Railtracer)

[umbral belfry]

so you're not dead in top8 got it

it's time for the disciples (me and hippo) to watch the teacher

[keen vapor]

Well, getting stuck where I was actually allowed me to get Check stuck on C7 for a whole 24 hours so

Redtracer really did help me

And strong Malogro padding

[shell hazel]

the training arc paying off?

[keen vapor]

He failed an attack once on me

So, he wasted both attacks immediately

[shell hazel]

watching

[tropic summit]

haha no, honestly next one has to be a loss and if it isn't then it's really broken spaghetti

3 counters is asking for a lot

[umbral belfry]

believe in the disciples that believe in you rail

[umbral belfry]

[tropic summit]

[swift mango]
