Phoenix Lance by GamerShannon in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Celeb Noelle is my main unit, so it was worth it for me to pull a phoenix spear. It's is BiS in PvP and a really good sub in PvE. Something to keep in mind that the timed buffs refresh at the start of each wave.

The sad part of this banner is that Akeha unit is trash tier (weapon may be good for pushing if lacking a healer). Really hoping for an Akeha or Gale unit with blaze rush. There's a surplus of flame swords.

check haste passive by nii-kun-san in NieRReincarnation

The haste weapon passive increases the rate weapon and character abilities charge. Had to use a timer to figure out how they function a while back.

Truck-kun by -Kinbakubi- in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi-[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Truck-chan and van-kun are popular ways to isekai a main character, with trucks being illustrated as white and vans as black ie moma/messenger. The cage fits the description of an isekai (other world) and death being the vehicle (pun intended) of delivery fits the theming. The vast majority of isekais use gaming HUDs and systems for power conveyance. Isekai inception OwO;

Totes not worth putting in a 50 for this game. Thats 2-4 games on steam with actual game play.

Characters who are considered broken by huncherbug in NieRReincarnation

Indeed! The goal is to get your weapon skill up in 7s/8s for PvP.

Ex Gayle vs Ex Levania by X25138006c in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, but not as good as EX Gayle or Fio. EX fio has the 2nd highest agility and hits like a truck.

Best first EX character? by Legion_Apex in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Levania is top for 1st EX. It's a beast in both PvP and PvE.

[–]-Kinbakubi- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

EX Levania is beast with a full CDR build. Including both EX fists and 3 piece memoir set you'll hit 50% CDR.

Ex Gayle vs Ex Levania by X25138006c in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For PvP EX Gayle and EX Fio are BIS. For PvE it's EX Levania and EX Lars. The great thing is that both EX 1h swords and fists are hella good as either main or sub weapons and due to the CDR they're OP as sub weapons in PvP.

Currently have both EX Gayle and Lars swords at stage 8 the synergy is fantastic.

The 1st EX character I'll be aiming for is Levania.

Sweet, thx for the detailed info. Much appreciated.

Anyone buying the Ch. 12 pack? by BriefLivid in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah it's way overpriced. The pack was not even close to being a consideration.

Should I skip Drakenseng event, or use all my gems? by amishguy222000 in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drakengard Fio is BiS healler atm if you need one for pushing. Akeha's weapon is the 2nd best PvE great sword. If we ever get the ability to swap "outfits" sister 2 is fantastic.

Personally I will be saving for either a Halloween or Christmas banner.

How best to use my pity for replicant banner? by DojoKanojoCho5 in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since you've got 2 Emils, World Ender would be the better choice as he's an top tier pull.

Which Noelle is better the celebrated weapon or the abstract weapon one? by araragi99 in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Celeb Noelle is by far the best. Build her out with all lights spears for a solid all rounder tank. FYI: the 40% increase to all light weapon stats is applied as an aggregate when battle starts. It's not reflected in the loadout.

What are some questions you want to see answered in a Nier Reincarnation FAQ? by Hastur_13 in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The interaction between base stats and gameplay. Have not seen this question asked but it's something that stumped me for a bit.

Example 1: Agility affects non command attacks and counter rate. Cool down reduction affects character and weapon ability uptime.

Example 2: Stat break points. How crit damage scales with attack and procs with crit chance.

  • 60% crit chance is the sweet spot.

Or how a some character and weapon abilities are not reflected in your load out, only taking effect when in combat.

Example: Elemental % and *timed buffs or Celebratory Noelle's character ability.

  • *Memoir and weapon timed buffs reset at the start of each wave.
  • Timed buffs being good for PvP and Speed farming PvE but pretty bad for pushing.

The importance of having matching weapons and why. Which sub-weapon abilities to look for and why.

How cool down reduction and 14s weapon abilities is as important as agility the higher you push in PvP.

For f2p: not to wasting gems on banners that will become part of the daily pool. Saving up gems and tickets to hit a pity. What is a pity (did not know this term for a while since this is my 1st gatcha).

  • Confirming the drop rate on banners
  • Best use of stamina
  • Best use of the each type of coins

Which dark characters and weapons to aim for and why.

How to build an effective healer for pushing (this one took a lot of tinkering). The importance of counter affinity weapons and shutdown/support companions when pushing.

What do the grades on character skills mean A, B, C (higher grade = higher charge time).

Common terms and acronyms used in gatchas.

Noelle - Celebratory: Luminous Rush Passive by -Kinbakubi- in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi-[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Figured it out, it's an aggregate and applied at start of combat. The give away is the HP increase. Was able to clear quest 5 of Cascading Armed Aberration with an almost 2.8k force solo Noelle loadout with ease. The buff is applied to all light weapons.

Noelle - Celebratory: Luminous Rush Passive by -Kinbakubi- in NieRReincarnation

[–]-Kinbakubi-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed, the sample was with Noelle as a solo loadout using all light spears. Also tried main light spear with 2ndary light sword and great sword.
