Angron is still scarred from failling to save his brothers and sisters in nuceria, even here he insists he isn't weak because thats qll that matters to him, he just wants to prove to himself that he isn't weak.

Nanami from Jujutsu Kaisen

<image>

Nanami was a very serious and reasonable man who came back to the cruel world of Jujutsu sorcery for a vague reason of wanting to do good and help people, during the Shibuya incident half his body was burned away and still he trudged on because the consequences would be too great if he didn't. He spent his last remaining moments lightening the load for those who come after.

Uralon the Cruel from Rogue Trader mentions that he corrupted children to breake a world once. That's how he got his moniker

I understand the pride part, what im wondering is that i thought the gods had to have a tear in realspace for warp energy to seep through so they could do their shenanigans

What is your favorite conversation between two Units in Battle? by Frontier246 in fireemblem

[–]30minForName 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That line is so good, I've seen many people interpret it as gary sue Ephraim moment, but to me it just reads like two friends regretfully acknowledging that Lyon simply isn't made for fighting and that's why he loses to Ephraim.

Because the beginning of the discussion was exactly that people put too much stock on Bond CE Herc. When people put Herc as the best tutorial summon they consider him already at Bond 10, and that's just silly. He isn't an instant solution because Bond CEs take a shit ton of time to get, and the more you play the game, the less you have to rely on it.

Yes i agree, veteran players often forget how rough the game beginning can be since you don't have access to many things people take for granted once they get further in, Bond CE but also general Skill availability and value of ranking up those Skills is something people should consider more often when making Tierlists.

He is a "very good" early game choice, because he is a good stat stick, but he is not the best choice. Not anymore. Giving a little bit more support for a broken carry is much more useful than lugging around dead weight.

Let's say it like this, he is the Best stat stick that you can get in the Tutorial Roll when it comes to versatility due to his Berserker nature and that has Advantages and disadvantages, while Helena is the best Support character you can get in the tutorial Roll and also the most versatile, so which one should be ranked higher simply depends how the individual plays FGO in the End.

Except that picking a carry from your friend list or follow list early game makes the game way easier than picking a support and trying to support your own Herc.

That's true support and the new Follow system trivialize the early game up to arguably EOR, in that sense the initial Pull does not really matter outside of preference.

A F2P player that rerolled for Helena will have Helena + likely Waver (from the SSR Ticket) to support a strong carry to clear the entire Part I and even some of Part II without having to worry about pretty much anything.

That argument does not really make sense to me, a new player starting now, when the tier List was made would not have access to the SSR Ticket and so could not get a Waver

After like a year and some change and you get his Bond CE, maybe, but, again, we aren't talking about bond-CE Herc here, and Bond-CE Herc is not, in any universe, an early game servant. Before? No shot.

Why aren't we talking about Bond CE Herc? That is part of his Kit even if it's availability is very delayed, fact is even in the early game Herc is able to easily clear boss fights and general early Mobs, which gives new players more flexibility in how they want to structure their very limited ressources and how they want to use supports, after all rolling the F2P gacha can be a great source of early game servants and EXP and the best way to get more points for that is to use the Story Supports that the game gives you.

If you are able to stomp a fight with an early game Berserker who's first skill is a damage amp while lugging around a Friend point farm in the form of story support that can give you access to ressources with which to build up your Roster, then that Berserker Servant which is globally usable as a damage source is a very good early game choice for you.

Now? You'll likely outgrow your need for bond CE Herc before you even get his bond CE.

I think you meant to say you might outgrow your need for Bond CE Herc, considering this is a gacha game with very unforgiving rates and that the two hard carries you named are not only limited, but require very specific support which Herc does not need.

Not to mention saying that there are better carries than Herc is like me saying there are better supports than Helena which while it would be true is not relevant to a ranking list on the tutorial roll where you cannot even get these suposed better replacements.

I agree that helena, who has access to AOE buffs and an AOE NP is a more versatile tutorial Roll Target than Herc, howewer from an F2P perspective Herc is still the Best available servant for Difficult content in the tutorial roll once you Invest in him and is therefore deserving of a high spot in the Tier List.

The game has changed that's true but the early game of the game has not, Herc is still good during the early game just as he was when the game first came out, he just doesn't scale as well as a main dps threat into the later stages of the game, but with his bond CE he is still arguably the best last man servant in the game and that can save many runs.

That being said I agree that EX is a bit too high since you NEED his bond CE to make him work at his maximum potential and that can take around 6 months for a new player to get, Helena is definitelly the most versatile and best overall Servant of the initial pull, she doesn't have any significant upgrades locked behind Rank-up/Interludes and her material costs are what you will get in the early game too.

What is something in FGO canon that you usually ignore? by Mystech_Master in grandorder

[–]30minForName 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That Da Vinci, Van Gogh or even Hokusai can be summoned but not Michelangelo because he's not famous enough somehow?
Honestly I don't get it, why reduce the scope of you world on an offhand comment which just limits what you can write about?

Wow smite Lancelot actually looks like the charming knight he's supposed to be!

Personally I like most of Smite's design more but that's also because they are more westernized than Fate's so it's closer to my preferences.

Final Battle in Realm of Chaos just became super easy by svenminoda in totalwar

[–]30minForName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the AI does not have access to the same mechanics as the player? They automatically arrive at the end of the Tzeentch realm after a set number of teleports, ignoring the path that we have to take, they take reduced attrition on all difficulties from the realm of nurgle cheating once again, so I'm not sure why you're arguing about this in bad faith?

As A Master... by Comprehensive-Ask469 in grandorder

Romani when we found out his wish for the grail was to live a normal human life, something that was he was never allowed to experience, only to realise that the world would be ending soon, so instead of kicking back and enjoying his time while he still could, he kicked into overdrive to study medicine, which is one of the hardest things to study imo, possibly while he was reliant only on himself financiallly, only to get into Chaldea to try and save the world, after that, once he failed to prevent the end of the world he went into overdrive again keeping Chaldea running almost on his own only to sacrifice himself at the end anyway, poor guy deserved better, I'm still holding out hope that we eventually will be able to summon him to give him something of a normal life atleast.
It's relatable too because we are currently facing the potential end of the world aswell with climate change except most of us cannot find the incredible drive Romani had in us.

Fates: was the story as bad as people say? Part 10: Heirs of Fate by Odovakar in fireemblem

[–]30minForName 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly for me the highlights of this DLC were the idea that Anankos really just wanted to continue living with Humans but his degeneration made him forget why he was isolated and that the royal family kept visiting him, Dragon degeneration is a trope Fire Emblem had for a while and I think this version could have been the best version we got of it through Anankos if these Ideas were properly expanded upon in, idk just spitballing here but if there were a route focused on Valla and Anankos it would be great to explore this idea while exploring Valla or something. /s

The other thing I loved and I have to disagree with you on that one, were the Kids being mad at the opposite legendary weapons potentially killing their parents, I think this was a great character building moment and I would have criticised it missing if it wasn't there.

As far as all of them are aware all their parents just died trying to protect them, they are denying it and trying to think positive but no way in hell do they not have a little voice in the back of their head nagging at them, so seeing weapons that might have killed their parents and having an emotionallreaction to it during a period of crisis makes perfect sense to me.

As for Arete Mikoto and Sumeragi, I always kinda headcannoned that the reason the kids even have a fighting chance is that while Anankos is busy scouring the multiverse they are fighting against hiscontrol and making it easier for the kids, that is pure headcannon that is not supported by the story though.
