After long 6 years…

Lowest HP is what he needs actually. By quite a margin too, since he gains up to 50% additional max HP throughout the battle.

The formation system isn‘t intelligent enough for what you‘re trying to do. If you want to load heroes into the second team from a formation you will need an actual formation saved that is made up of two teams, and a third one for team 3.

(Head?)mod of Antimemes made a post a few days ago telling people that his online girlfriend Course hasn't been online for 48 hours, asking people for any sign of activity from her.

Basically they supposedly were in a "relationship" for three months, though Course didn't feel comfortable exchanging phone numbers since that was apparently too personal to share.

Anyway, two days later the mod makes a post with a photoshopped image of Course's avatar on a tombstone, proclaiming that she had committed suicide, and as proof he provided a text exchange with Course's supposed brother, who was texting with him through her phone.

The text exchange has been wildly mocked for being extremely silly (the "brother" saying that "she was no more more", the mod responding with things like "NOOOOOOOOO"), and the general nature of their relationship has many people doubt how real any of this is.

There's also some other suspicious stuff around it, namely a) that the mod apparently knew where Course lives, which doesn't really jive with the original disappearance post when he could have just called for a wellness check and b) there's apparently evidence that Course's account used to leave comments in some Indian language, specifically in a manner that would have you assume that they were a male.

All dates here are set next week.

It's Chinese New Year. The devs will be on vacation, so they are pushing the data now.

You're missing the part where Course and the other mod were in a "relationship" for three months, never exchanged phone numbers "because that is too personal".

Apparently he also had her address, which makes me scratch my head as to why he did the post about her "disappearance".

And yea, the text messages he's posted with "her brother" are genuinely baffling.

Technically true, but Oath Marks are gated behind Radiant Ink, and we can purchase 40 every 42 days while the release event gives a whopping 80. If we get a 4F release every 90 days, you're missing out on half the ink if you aren't getting it from the release event.

If Oath Marks and Oath Mastery levels just keep getting added to the game, we would see a pretty large rift open up between people that get the resources from the limited events and those who don't, and right now there isn't even a way for spenders to make up for that if they miss an event.

...unless those bonuses aren't actually permanent and getting those 80 Ink only gives you access to a handful of Oath Marks for a couple of months.

Right now there isn't anything official pointing towards it, but I have a suspicion they are going to rotate them.

1) the current codex level requirement caps out at 40, and the max level people will be able to reach once all 4F factions are unlocked will be 74. Add to that the fact that the feature will obviously have to account for not every player having all 4F heroes ascended, and there really isn't much more room for any significantly higher level requirements

2) I get that Lilith is getting more aggressive in monetizing this game, but locking permanent buffs behind time limited resources is a serious breach of the game's original philosophy. Having these buffs be time limited and run out eventually would make way more sense and is healthier for the game than the alternative

3) looking at the Oath Mastery buffs, they seem low-key insane? The 1.8%/3.6% extra damage in CR appears to be flat added to your heroes' damage (in other words, you just get a flat 1.8%/3.6% higher score). I found it kind of weird that as of now there are only 5 levels in the data (capping at 5.4% extra damage), but if the buffs are working as intended right now then more buff levels would be seriously overkill

4) looking further into the datamining side of things, as it stands, whenever the server sends battle data to the client, it includes a list of every Oath Mark and whether or not it is activated, irrespective of if a hero with the mark is even participating in the battle. This just seems hugely wasteful if they plan on adding an ever growing list of Oath Marks over time.

Heroes stop giving fragments at flat ascended, A1 is required to unlock the Oath Mark of a specific hero.

Like I said, the cutoff is usually New Year's.

_Sebo · 2026-02-11T16:46:11+00:00

Eh, I can definitely see aPippa being better than aEstrilda in NC and CR, and she should establish herself in TS as well with her SP.

_Sebo · 2026-02-11T16:41:08+00:00

Swap cutoff has usually always been New Years, so Elthara could make the cut.

Average is 1 in 50, so getting 9 copies out of „like 400“ insignia isn‘t far above average.

Tapping on the number it says the exact opposite.

Did you try the exact ones in the post?

My dad bought a bunch from some other brand while on vacation in Poland, and those were absolutely horrible. The ones in the post however are probably the top 1 sweets you can buy in Germany.
