they pre-upload YT stuff

#

and post twitter after

sharp widget
#

That was posted yesterday tho

tight grove
#

why did they translate 'alice is a rabbit' to 'here i come' that's strange

sharp widget
#

Rather, with lack of particle, it's probably meant to be "It's rabbit Alice!"

#

She's presenting herself

misty estuary
#

Jaaa~ Alice usagi desu!
Roughly:
Surprise~ It's bunny Alice!

sharp widget
#

Yeah

tight grove
#

HERE I COME

sharp widget
#

So the localization makes sense, but I don't like it

#

It could be worse, at least

tight grove
#

its time for me to learn japanese so i don't question these things anymore

HEEEEEEEEEERE

then I saw how licensing was destroying the fan-translation community to milk the industry dry with garbage quality

#

now I'm very glad I did kek

#

I just heard Alice EN

warped kite
#

does this unit work without Tove

sharp widget
#

Technically yes

#

But she'll work better with her

thorny sleet
#

anything works without Tove

warped kite
#

work as in

#

top 3 team material

thorny sleet
#

not seeing top 3 material

warped kite
#

is it really a must pull then

stoic tartan
sharp widget
#

Think though

#

Iron has RH and SW

#

Problem is the competitive element

#

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure she'll beat Maxwell if put into bunnies team with Modernia

#

(assuming Gravedigger)

rose mango
sharp widget
#

She's more flexible than M Priv

warped kite
#

do you think she’ll see any use in UR

rose mango
sharp widget
#

I don't see her being useful in UR

#

Unless we start getting mono-element URs kek

#

For people who haven't been blessed by Snow White, maybe thonk

#

but if using for UR, then not a must pull since wishlist exists

rose mango
ancient aurora
#

kek

zealous peak
#

Iron has
RH
SW
MW

#

do we really need her

rose mango
rose mango
#

If her dps is super high and competes with pierce units
It's tover for other units ToveCoin

warped kite
#

my reasoning is that if she’s too weak to compete in UR 3team format she’ll be too weak for SR pretty soon

ancient aurora
#

wait, is her burst a screenwipe?

#

because I need a screenwipe for tetra tower

zealous peak
#

yes but not the strongest

rose mango

So there's use cases

#

Oh, SR

zealous peak
#

so

rose mango
#

Redhood goes on one iron weak boss
Soda or snowwhite go on the other

If snowwhite goes with redhood like last UR, if we had another iron weak boss which was boss 1/2/4, she's gonna be used

P1 last raid was SW

we have pins there about tove leona

dont mind me

Leona 10/7/10 iirc?

#

Also, for some people, UR is something that actually does need attention

fluid stag

#

Not everyone's in the sweaty unions Riuglare

rose mango
#

It needs to be 4/4/4, 7/7/7 or 10/10/10

@rose mango this still apply?

Min / Rec / Max

rose mango
#

When tove came out I didn't have enough skill books at all, but 9/4/7 tove was enough to outdps my SAnis+scar team in UR

#

Not to mention, you needed to do smthng for crystal chamber raid lol

misty estuary
#

S2 is actually busted when it's up all the time, it's the main source of effectiveness for this SG team especially since it's a 0 CDR FB extension team

rose mango
#

So leaving it at those breakpoints is kinda fine

fluid stag
# sharp widget

What is the correct number to say what Party is, yellow one, blue or green (left. Middle, right)?

misty estuary
#

Breakpoints for ATK spd are semi-fake when it comes to atk spd up from what I've tested

fluid stag
#

Or usage?

misty estuary
#

I've looked at soline for example

fluid stag
rose mango
fluid stag
#

I'm colorblind so maybe I said different colors xD

sharp widget
#

I have color deficiency as well kek

misty estuary
#

I've put 5 SMGs in a team together

sharp widget
#

Not sure about the left one, but middle is blue and right is red

misty estuary
#

And Soline consistently empties out a couple bullets faster

sharp widget
#

Yellow, thanks deluok

#

Wanted to say orange

lucid nest
#

work on SG

rose mango
lucid nest
#

can verify

lucid nest
#

it was me who recorded every single frame of Sugar from lv 1 to 10

sharp widget
misty estuary
#

However, the apparently atk spd that was gained was not what was advertised on the skill, it was lower

sharp widget
rose mango
fluid stag
misty estuary
#

Hence atk spd breakpoints are "semi-fake"

rose mango
#

Highest, average, lowest

rose mango
sharp widget
#

If you see green for the right, you must have true protanopia Noted

misty estuary
#

Atk spd as a buff clearly works even when a breakpoint isn't hit but its actual effectiveness is reduced from what it advertises

fluid stag
#

Well that yellow can be red if you tell me

misty estuary
#

That's the general conclusion I came too while looking at soline

tight grove
#

did you compare each skill level?

fluid stag
tight grove
#

or default soline vs any other smg yeah she's faster

rose mango
#

Over 10s, what gatrix calculated

It's not the same for sg?

rose mango
misty estuary
#

And soline is always first

rose mango
#

Damn, fun test

misty estuary
#

The apparent gain in spd however

#

Is clearly less than what is advertised

#

My theory is that it's due to time loss on the tick function

tight grove
#

it's more interesting to know how much faster each skill up gets than knowing that she is indeed faster at skill lvl 1

#

if skill resets were still a thing i'd test it

#

got enough resets np

misty estuary
#

So the theory in my book is that breakpoints give you full benefit of the atk spd buff

#

And that non breakpoints gives partial benefit

#

Due to time loss on the tick function

lucid nest
#

I tried shooting 9 times on auto with Sugar. On each burst lv

#

I guess AS works better on faster Attack speed

rose mango
lucid nest
#

for SG, the breakpoint really exists

misty estuary
#

E.g. tick occurs and the float "overflows" partially

rose mango
# rose mango

This is gatrix breakpoints @misty estuary

From what he calculated for tove

heavy flint
#

じゃーん!アリス兎です

misty estuary
#

Yeah again from what I've seen you eventually fire extra bullets over time

#

And it's just most apparent with soline

#

Since it's a tiny amount

rose mango
fluid stag
#

Alice in Jap says: Alice is a rabbit!!! And in EN: here I cum

heavy flint
misty estuary
fluid stag
misty estuary
#

Low fire rate means it takes longer to see when that benefit manifests

#

But from what I've seen atk spd as a stat isn't totally useless even when it doesn't hit a breakpoint, but it does seem "less effective" than advertised

sharp widget
fluid stag
#

But why they mistraslate even VA lines?

sharp widget
#

It's called localizing, unfortunately

tove was made for penta team

Except Tove kek

tight grove
#

except tove herself

#

yep

fierce lake
#

I said this before, imagine a weapon that is so bad
you need 5 brand new nikkes just to fix it deadge

tight grove
#

pretty much all weapons at launch

#

assault rifles are in need of fixing too now

misty estuary
#

SG is not a bad weapon

#

It's just been criminally undersupported until now

visual niche
#

only "savable" smg is just supports or change weapon type in burst

#

thats probably it

tight grove
#

i'm not sure if we even have proper smg dps

#

like crow? get real

misty estuary
#

We don't

#

SMG is a weapon you give ppl just to make sure you know they're a buffer

tight grove
#

like mg

analog ruin
#

It would be nice to get a new weapon type. We know that Nikke handguns exist.

#

SMG isn’t salvageable unless they make a rapture type that the MGs can’t deal with up close.

tight grove
#

what would the niche of the type be?

#

they are 'fixing' shotguns by giving it additional effects and a bunch of hitrate

smg fix is pretty much the same thing make it shoot straight and make it do something extra

analog ruin
#

Slow fire, high damage, close range…which is shotgun.

lucid nest
#

To be fair, do you run down in traditional fps with smg?

#

And even in real life, smg is also frontload and not some heavy dps

#

They are cheap hence they are shit

tight grove
#

smg does not sound like the type of weapon you would bring to kill off some raptures

lucid nest
misty estuary
#

Standard SMG is literally the weapon type with literally no benefits whatsoever, its defining feature is that it's good at nothing and bad at everything

lucid nest
#

Yeah

#

Creating room for real mvp

analog ruin
#

Then they should work better on bomb raptures!

tight grove
#

they do have a near niche

#

but everything else murders near too

lucid nest
#

Supportive gun, may be giving them built in defense reduction is better

#

Or slow enemy dow

misty estuary
#

ER in this game is a joke compared to core hits

#

Whatever benefit you gain from range not only tends to overlap with AR anyway but also the decreased hit rate for being MG offsets the advantage of effective range

#

Like when a rapture walks up close to an AR

#

Oh boy, now you don't have ER anymore! But now you have 100% core hit rate

tight grove
#

idk what the math is in this game but sniper works just fine against anything in front of me

misty estuary
#

So in actuality, your dps increased lmfao

#

Like this is a very old school observation

tight grove
#

smg should give lots of burst gen and make it pvp niche

misty estuary
#

That base scarlet dealt more damage to an enemy right in her face than an enemy in her effective range

#

So AR just poaches "being better at close range" from SMG as well

tight grove
#

ar gets reduced dmg from up close maybe she missed shots or some shit

analog ruin
#

Having SMG do something else like a debuff or the stun suggestion would be a good way to make it worth considering.

misty estuary
#

The weapon literally has no redeeming qualities, even it's slightly higher fire rate for procing stacks is canceled out by the skill needing to hit an enemy and having low hit rate at range

analog ruin
#

But that can just be skills. It should just be a standard of the SMG.

misty estuary
tight grove
#

there's none?

misty estuary
#

ER is just a flat bonus when an enemy is in the weapon types designated range

tight grove
#

smg should just gen burst 3x as fast that's an easy niche

misty estuary
#

No it doesnt

lucid nest
#

Smg needs 40 hits per sec to make up for their shitty dmg and accuracy

misty estuary
#

SMG burst gen values are trash so they generate the least burst

analog ruin
lucid nest
tight grove
#

if smg could gen fast af

#

ppl would run that shit in pvp

sharp widget
#

X Mica literally gets 3x burst gen and it's only comfortable, not good kek

tight grove
#

6x!

#

9x!

#

to the moon we go

misty estuary
#

SMG is the weapon you give to supports to nerf them even harder than giving them a normal AR

#

Just to make sure they def can't do mechanics

tight grove
#

i'm not so sure when they give all weapon types to also all kinds of supports

misty estuary
#

I'm saying giving someone an SMG is almost always just a nerf

tight grove
#

yeah thats true

#

giving someone ar is also a nerf when mg exists

gleaming creek
#

aaaaaaaaaaaa godamit

#

why did they ruin S1 with crit damage

#

why not hit rate

misty estuary
#

Giving someone AR is like giving them basic rights

gleaming creek
#

jesus foken christ

misty estuary
#

Giving them SMG is making them a refugee

tight grove
#

is her 40% burst hit rate not enough?

gleaming creek
#

i guess the only thing to pray is that alice gives massive crit rate

#

but at the end of the day...

#

Crit in Nikke is foken LOL why

misty estuary
#

Leona already exists

rose mango
#

It's hard to make an MG unit bad

#

Especially if they're an attacker type

tight grove
#

they tried really hard with sneon by taking her mg away hahaha

rose mango
#

Sneon and aria are unique stuff lmfao

gleaming creek
misty estuary
#

Aria with an MG and a last bullet skill:

Is she stupid?

tight grove
#

sneon is an example that proves the point

#

she takes it away

gleaming creek
#

we got 2 horrible MG and 2 mid close to Bad MG

rose mango
#

Even product 12 is good

gleaming creek
rose mango
#

If you tweak her kit a bit with treasure, she can become good iirc

tight grove
#

those are stat fucked not b3

#

rem as b3 would be real sweet

tight grove
#

we need 4 more treats

gleaming creek
#

Soda and Emma can be easily fixed

  • Emma S2 activate when HP above 30%

  • Emma S1 activates at 20%

  • Soda S1 Needs 120 shots per stacks

  • Soda S2 has 6s CD

tight grove
#

or 1 collective treasure

rose mango
#

Oh damn I'm thinking of the wrong R unit my bad

misty estuary
#

It's really simple, being MG is like getting an extra DPS skill, being SR/RL is like getting an extra support skill, and being SMG means being nerfed

gleaming creek
#

but lets get back to Soda Bunny....
WHY CRIT DAMAGE FFS

misty estuary
#

Tldr it's good

#

And you're overreacting

sturdy canopy
gleaming creek
#

noooo

rose mango
#

It was soldier ow

If she was mg and this percentage was higher she would be one of the best

#

If not the best

tight grove
#

the best r in the game

rose mango
#

Idk if she even needs to be mg

#

Even AR would suffice I think

#

Currently she's smg iirc

sturdy canopy
tight grove
#

i don't really think you are required to build a specific comp to tailer to her s1 lol

#

that specific loss is minimal

#

use crown if you want its fine

gleaming creek
#

just fix mast by turning that shitty 30s into continuous

#

its a simple and single word that will change everything

misty estuary
rose mango
#

But yeah ar probably wouldn't be good

tight grove
#

i'm looking forward for balice to replace rapunzel in crown teams

#

so i can skip this whole tove leona team 5 shit

grizzled burrow
#

anyoen find it strange shes still part of Maid for You but Mprivatey was switched to the Maid For you squad?

#

shes not part of the 777 squad????

tight grove
#

balice/boda don't work for 777

#

mpriv worked for maids

#

not joining the squad vs joining the squad

grizzled burrow
#

well based on the event looks like alice and soda will be helping the casino so that means they will be working for them

tight grove
#

i have not seen alice lift a single finger

#

and her story is 'checking out the clowns' or some shit

sturdy canopy
#

Simplest answer

tight grove
#

summer/winter versions don't leave their squads either

#

only mpriv ever did

no kit Sadge

i do get it though everyone wants to get rid of bnoir i'm as sad as you guys are

torn thunder
#

@rose mango can i skip both bunnies if I'm missing leona and don't have tove built?

tight grove
#

imagine skipping sss tier

rose mango
#

Tove dolla soda flex flex

#

But imo you should pull her and start investing in SG team

#

If you don't care about raids, soda is an ez skip

#

Soda is also usable in PvP so

#

Remember that

#

And as Raoul said

Soda enters the coin rush bunny competition
Doesn't take part as the 777 squad member

misty estuary
#

Why she isn't 777 is so that they can still sell rogue

grizzled burrow
#

at this point from what you said i doubt rouge will join lol

#

unless rouge is underwhelming enough that it wont make the bunny girls even more broken

tight grove
#

bblanc will get yeeted from union raid before rouge releases

grizzled burrow
#

i mean school girls are the better duo, esp now with crown working with naga. power creep is gonna be a bitch later on.

#

mayeb thats when rouge comes in

misty estuary
#

Bunnies are already weaker than JKs and Crown

tight grove
#

it won't take much

#

rouge is almost here

misty estuary
#

Like Naga and Crown are fighting for best B2 and Blanc is clearly 1 tier below

#

Tho that's partially bc Noir is weaker than Tia

#

And Crown gets to pick and choose who she wants as a partner

rose mango
#

Blanc is technically weaker than both crown and Naga too tho

#

I mean, her heals are better and she has indom

#

But the damage buffs

#

Clearly weaker

misty estuary
#

I said partially bc

#

Not fully bc

#

Blanc def has better heals and mechanic ignoring

rose mango
#

Way too much cushion

#

To fall on

grizzled burrow
#

i think they know duo pairs can only go so long before power creep or better units come out. they will prob add in a 3rd nikke to each duos later on that buff them up more to catch up. prob why they are holding back with releasing them

#

i can def see bunny girls slowly drop in tier when better duos come out then boom rouge is out and they are top tier again

rose mango
#

At least
From what I think

misty estuary
#

Crown Naga and Blanc are the best b2s by far

#

Everyone else is significantly worse

#

So preferably Rouge just needs to be B3 or CDR B1

grizzled burrow
#

and if shes B3 she has to comepte with mord, RH, scarlet etc. itll be tough

misty estuary
#

Her competition isn't liter

#

It's volume

#

She just needs to be better than volume

#

The bar isn't that high considering she starts with the benefit of being 777

grizzled burrow
#

oh the ole "i dont need to be the best, i just need to be better than you" strategy kekw

tight grove
#

whack how volume was considered cope liter at release but still meta today

misty estuary
#

It's just bc they aren't release B1 CDRs v often

tight grove
#

i think we have like 7 cdr now

#

8? 9?

grizzled burrow
#

D alt was the last one, she doesnt compete with them on CDR?

misty estuary
#

After JKs and before DKW it was impossible to have any decent comp flexibility with B1s at all

#

Now it's slightly better

rose mango
#

If you wanna be technical
Noir and redhood are cdr as well kekez

tight grove
#

haha redhood has insane cdr

#

b1 twice np

misty estuary
#

Yeah unfortunately dolla is more than underwhelming in terms of actual buffs

#

And s.helms buffs only work when the enemy is weak to iron

#

And then sakura has meme buffs

#

Over time B2 somehow became a stronger position than B1 in terms of bench supports

#

Sakura might become better if they added a 40s b1 that doesn't blow ass and isn't a pure tank like noise

#

E.g. RH but all she does is B1

rose mango
#

PvE almost dead anyways
Champs soon

misty estuary
rose mango
#

Soda is prep for champs

#

First clip SG after 12 months

misty estuary
#

PvP is gonna be so fun for all us whales who can't practice any team to figure out what's good because we're just synchro diffing everyone in our bracket

tight grove
#

you don't need to be first place to have fun

#

who here is first place in solo raid?

misty estuary
#

Me.

tight grove
#

same shit really

rose mango
old sentinel
#

I looked at the kit essay and it showed up as a giant blur, as if it was all censored. Because my brain automatically protected me from reading

rose mango
#

Bro really asked this at the worst possible time

tight grove
#

or the best time

#

i remember a certain someone winning in eu

rose mango
misty estuary
#

Fun is subjective as well

#

Like pvp is about fighting other players

#

If I can't practice then I'm just running random shit

#

If I'm just running random shit that's not fun

tight grove
#

i do agree that has been lame design

rose mango
#

S1

  • Start with 50 stacks, equally 66% crit dmg only during FB
  • Give 10.51% Attack Damage to self and another DPS

S2:

  • When any1 uses B3, FB is prolonged by 5s max.
  • Each shot during FB deals additional 137.06%

Burst:

  • Reduce 17 stacks, needs to refill with 51 shots during FB to have no loss of stacks
  • Deals okayish 628.7% aoe
  • Give self 38.91% Hit rate
  • Give self 65.25% ATK

P much

tight grove
#

union raid too or am i asking for too much

misty estuary
#

Sync is an insanely stupid mechanic to begin with

tight grove
#

it just doesn't fit this game

rose mango
#

Regardless, the worst part of PvP is something most people don't even know about:

What I will say about PvP is that in the end, if it's 2 good players up against each other, the match is decided by pure rng

#

Which is funny

#

To me at least

misty estuary
#

That's all gacha pvps, I don't know how extreme it is here compared to others

#

Every gacha pvp I've ever played or researched always comes down to an rngfest at the end of the day and it's just about win percentage

#

And how volatile that rng is

tight grove
#

rocket whiffs are insane rng

misty estuary
#

Volatility is the main metric to compare with

tight grove
#

i'm not sure how the championships work but if it's an elimination bracket it won't be win%

#

1 loss you're out

misty estuary
#

Formats is never win percentage

rose mango
misty estuary
#

I'm talking about theory

misty estuary
#

In other gachas there's some strategy, but at the end of the day, sometimes all of your CC just doesnt land and all of the other guy's CC does

rose mango
#

Champs will be fun tbh

#

I will have fun at least

tight grove
#

i hope the rooting system is in place

#

with decent rewards

misty estuary
#

I'm only gonna have fun if they give some ability to practice

#

like for example, the very obvious and classic friend battle system

grizzled burrow
#

i wonder what alices kit is gonna say to make them be a specific duo pair with each other.

#

Maybe something to do with Sodas B3/FB since Sodas kit revolves around that

mighty relic
#

Is she still worth pulling for if I don't have Leona/mpriv/tove

#

Or should I just WL

foggy anchor
#

Wl

tight grove
#

pull

#

it's fine to wl but at least pull her from wl

#

don't be an idiot who gets cucked

foggy anchor
#

Yeah

#

She's good but she needs suitable supports to make her great

tight grove
#

i think leona is not that required

#

leona is wanted for mpriv

#

but bsoda and tove work fine without both of those

#

go built a tove bsoda and something else team it will still be good

Will def keep Tove on my WL then

foggy anchor
#

BSoda = Black Screen Of Death Ahhh

she buffs teammates with abit of dmg and she gives her self hit rate and crit with decent aoe dmg while having a prolonged FB each time ANYONE full bursts

So she starts with 50 coins

who knows

gleaming creek
#

dang

charred swan
#

we would acquire the knowledge if we had a place to pin them

gleaming creek
#

i guess ill pin this on my server

grizzled burrow
#

The kit doesnt say it but the video does. She gains stacks every reload

#

idky its not on the kit

#

but she only gains stacks during FB when she reloads it seems

sweet panther
#

she doesnt gain stacks every reload think she gains stacks every 3 normals during full burst

charred swan
grizzled burrow
#

that reads as if she just gains crit dmg up to a total of 50

sweet panther
#

yes thats what the stacks do

#

the golden coin is the stacks

#

u can look at mast as well

rose mango
#

Bro read up

#

This is like the 10th consecutive time Kos is explaining

manic bear
#

Guys how does she gain stacks

stoic tartan
#

isnt coke kinda black? b. soda = coke

#

pull coke guys

grizzled burrow
# sweet panther u can look at mast as well

but this one doesnt say continuosly, Sodas can make you think after just activating 3 times your crit alone will just keeping going up consistently cuz you just had to shoot 3 times. and you dont have to do anything else

sweet panther
#

continously = duration = 3s from mast

stoic tartan
#

i just looked at this kit a bit more

#

she seems kinda busty i mean busted

sweet panther
#

rose mango

Isabel saved

#

Alice will fix isabel

grizzled burrow
# rose mango Bro leave mast out Not needed Just tell them what the stacks are Brain gets conf...

Golden Chip has multiple passive functions, each having certain conditions for Golden chip to do something. based on the amount of stacks. And someone can easily interpret that one of the conditions to activate its affect is to just shot 3 times and for its crit to keep going up. why ppl asked about how it stacks. cuz it just doesnt deliberaly say you gain specifically get stacks from it. it only talks about its effect.

#

i know how it works now but others are obv just as confused so ty for the simplification

But B2 or b3 is ok

Yeah

rose mango

Just don't be b1

Cuz B1 means unusable

What if Rouge was B1 CDR with the following burst:

Wild Card: After B3 is activated, consume this buff to additionally reactivate the effect of a different B3 that is currently on cooldown. If no other B3 is on cooldown, then consume this effect to re-enter Burst Stage 3 instead. pausecatitogun

sweet panther
#

now u can use noir burst +b3

stoic tartan
tight grove
#

rouge just needs 'can add +1 nikke to your squad' skill

sweet panther
#

make the duo a trio Kappa

tight grove
#

make it conditional

misty estuary
#

Also 2nd effect:

Lucky 21: Activates upon entering full burst, and if 3 of bursts activated were from allies in the same squad. Additionally re-activates the effect of bursts of characters from the same squad (considered as a separate effect to their normal bursts) pausecatitogun

tight grove

if blanc then x if bnoir then y but both then nothing

#

Where are my cheap kits 4/4/4 and functional

sweet panther
#

back in 2022

misty estuary
#

Actually that skill is OP and def needs a nerf, time to add a minor nerf

misty estuary
#

There we go

misty estuary
#

double uptime on Alice burst is better than getting a big ass atk buff

#

was more so trying to think of something creative

#

which tbh the Lucky 21 idea would be pretty cool

rose mango
misty estuary
#

If that was the only effect and then Rouge's own buffs were meh

#

then JKs still stronger

rose mango
#

Rouge blanc noir and then Alice ×2

Maybe if rouge doesn't have any buffs that she gives herself it's fine

misty estuary
#

mainly doubling up bursts would be gamebreakingly OP

#

especially on an element focused boss

#

so tbh it's not something I actually would want to see

#

but I thought it was a cool idea

#

tbh the Lucky 21 effect is already strongk just by itself

rose mango
#

Yeah, it is

Tbh there's a lot of stuff they haven't tried out yet regarding skills

#

A lot of creativity can be done, which other games have

#

And nikke doesn't yet

misty estuary
#

adding another Blanc burst to incentivizing Noir burst plus doubling the hit rate would be funny af

#

tbh I think that idea is p cool since it's once per 2 cycles

#

I like the idea of Rouge incentivizing Noir, although the big downside to that

#

is a trios

#

as if comping wasn't restrictive enough

rose mango
#

Ideally I wanna bench noir for a better b3 run

misty estuary
#

but I liked mainly the idea of a B1 buffer that doesn't do something generic but instead does something based on who she's working with

rose mango
#

Just push modernia to some other ammo supporter

#

Somehow

#

Release a new ammo support shiftup pls

misty estuary
#

Modernia Soda time

#

20s full burst

rose mango
#

20s goes hard tho
Sad that we don't have any buffs that last 20s

misty estuary
#

well 20s doesn't go that hard considering you now have to pay reburst time

#

and even 15s buffs have expired by then

rose mango
#

Yeah I mean I get that

It's just that 20s mod burst in campaign would go hard
If there were any buffs that lasted 20s xD

#

Apart from crowns buff, there's nothing else

misty estuary
#

imagine the funniest shit

#

Soda D Modernia

#

20s full burst into another 20s full burst

rose mango
#

Haven't heard of D in months now

Waiting for D treasure that turns her SMG into an MG

rose mango

Surprised they didn't advertise any of the treasures

#

Weird

misty estuary
#

Same model but her gun now shoots a converging laser

rose mango

Even changed the name

misty estuary

Okay but honestly though collectibles are like lowkey

What I'm cautiously optimistic for this patch

#

Like I really REALLY wanna know

#

What they do

rose mango

+5% crit dmg and that's when I go to sleep

For pvp

30% hp up at lvl10

#

Make that 50 and she's noise at home

misty estuary
#

Imagine all these buffs

#

Are just for pvp

#

I figured it out

#

Laplace treasure will give her a special effect

#

It will turn her into loudmouth

#

And will just kill any nikkes she fires her loud mouth laser at

#

Only works in pvp.

FINALLY

an example of a unit that Shift Up

actually has a clear design expectation for and meets its goals

like the actual first 10/10 design in terms of establishing a purpose and meeting its needs

#

the previous unit in this category was S.Anis but B.Soda surpasses that

it certainly looks like that, but we'll see if this is moreso the case once B. Alice's kit release, or if it's just a fluke lol

fr fr you pull SG DPS only if you got the support built up OR cuz your pp orders you
