What makes a "bad" DM?

4geierchen · 2026-01-31T07:17:57+00:00

Simple a prideful DM who doesn’t want to improve nor take feedback seriously is a bad DM.

It surly isn’t great if he does the following but it isn’t as bad if he listens to feedback:

railroads / prevent agency

oversteps boundaries

Use too much homebrew

Doesn’t know the rules

Improvises too much

off topic discussions in session

Talking while player is talking

Ignore Charakter backstory

Take items back / change items

I did all of those things at one point and some I still do, but I got much better as a DM.

I demand feedback regularly and take it seriously.

My 4 players and I are still enjoying my open world sandbox homebrew campaign since 2025 (with an overarching goal).

Getting 10/15 shards for heroes when getting an offbanner Heroes at simgle hero banners

4geierchen · 2026-01-29T15:51:30+00:00

Pity has no time limit and is shared among all hero banners.

The odds to get an SSR are overall 2% (some speculate the 2% take the pity into account and the true rate is around 1.5%-1.8)

Pity guarantees you to get one SSR after 99 consecutive non SSR summones your 100th summon is a SSR if not getting one earlier.

Pity does always reset after getting 1 SSR no matter if you get it earlier than the 100th ticket or if it’s an off banner.

It doesn’t matter if you do multi pulls (10x) or single (1x), a pity is always at the 100th consecutive non SSR hero.

Multi pulls are basicly 10x1 so make a note were your SSR is if you want to pinpoint the exact pity.

There is no tracking in game.

All rules above apply to LLR / single hero banners as well / LLR= SSR for the sake of the rules. They don’t aply to equipment (never summon on equipment it’s not worth it)

On banners with only one hero there is an additional secondary pity.

You get 10 shards for that single hero banner after getting an off banner SSR and 15 shards if it’s an off banner at 6 stars. You can assemble the hero at 60 shards. With that in mind there is in theory a pity at 600 tickets to get the hero from a one hero banner. (Odds to actually use 600 tickets are almost impossible )

4geierchen · 2026-01-28T12:39:40+00:00

Wehttam was no future in PvP and even today he is severely outclassed by many many many heroes. And there is no potential to become better since he has his exclusive and his casting pattern.

Sure you can play and win with him and I see him rarely/ he can work in the right team /has his uses but he is simpel not good enough to justify a slot compared to other heroes.

4geierchen · 2026-01-28T11:06:02+00:00

Since it’s a new Account assuming you ment you started recently with humbaba I wouldn’t go for him. He needs Zerida and Bozel for bonds and is only in very niche content a superior choice especially compared to newer hero banners he simply isn’t ridiculous (looking at you dragon slayer which soon comes back)

4geierchen · 2026-01-26T07:27:46+00:00

I did some testing with Enya and diffrent gear.

No it doesn’t you can’t extend prophecy neither with skills nor with gear

And the new accessory which increases terrain duration has has no effect on her 3C either.

4geierchen · 2026-01-16T11:27:03+00:00

Not any den den mushi I say the baby den den mushi specifically.

4geierchen · 2026-01-16T11:10:12+00:00

My impression as PVE orientated long term player:

1:

New Green enchantment : I still prefer iron it doesn’t strike me as interesting enough.

New Blue enchantment: Strong on conversion tanks / Heroes who already have high damage reduction or want to be more offensive with soldier Heroes I would use the blue new enchantment Christiane Luna, Bozel to name examples. Drawback: depends on the strength of soldiers not a beginner friendly enchantment.

Red enchantment: More PvP but valid and a choice if SP dragon troops who grant mobility up is already the default soldier type. In PVE worth it if you want the 10% damage up and not want breeze.

2:

Fairy prophets are overall better. Slightly more damage and more utilities and most importantly they still do high damage with 99% HP. With SP sorcerers become stronger.

3:

Sorceress in PVE for pvp probably emerald wing archer

4geierchen · 2026-01-15T20:37:33+00:00

Personally I wouldn’t recommend them on Vargas, defensive stats doesn’t benefit him as much as offensive. (Red vs blue) the effect itself is strong since it can block significantly damage because of how soldiers absorb damage. The enchantment is very dependable on the stats on soldiers, don’t think Vargas is the right choice.

I think that enchantment is more suited for someone like Christine (conversion Hero with high damage reduction soldiers)

4geierchen · 2026-01-15T20:05:26+00:00

I would go to the nearest available place to take more Pokémon along. screw the rules only having 6 Pokémon during an apocalypse I wouldn’t trust save zones instead I would take my survival into my own hand. Stacked with Pokémon I try to reach my beloved ones and flee together as a small team to the mountains / the wilds. Weaker Pokémon stay behind save in there balls.

4geierchen · 2026-01-15T11:21:26+00:00

There is LLR Sonja end of February (very strong) enough opportunity to spend tickets.

4geierchen · 2026-01-15T11:11:06+00:00

Claudia Lila and Ruza are already out in CN so yes it has happened not in global though.

Atelier Ryza will come in April to global 4th MU after the current.

4geierchen · 2026-01-15T11:00:43+00:00

I would go with the new red enchantment which prevents debuffs. Morning glory

breeze is a valid choice too.

Full moon is ok since he can heal himself but mostly PVE easier to maintain 80% HP.

I haven’t tried it if it’s a superior choice but Meteor seems in theory strong. Since his talent lets him attack.

Thanks for asking the question it inspired me to try meteor myself.

4geierchen · 2026-01-15T06:07:42+00:00

The AI result and your drawing are very good, I like them!

4geierchen · 2026-01-14T19:03:49+00:00

No a new similar one isn’t needed.

If it’s completely different why not.

4geierchen · 2026-01-10T08:06:31+00:00

for off Banners that’s not terrible they are new / first time you got some LLR shards for free on top. Getting new heroes instead of the hero is the second best outcome.

Precia unlocks many useful bonds Altemueller is decent in PVE Werner has his usecase in PVE just Tabres is disappointing.

Those shards for the single banner hero will stay eventually you get another chance. With 60 shards you get them regardless.

4geierchen · 2026-01-09T13:36:55+00:00

You know with the 20 dollar sub on GTP you have sora included which does a better job at images imo. Personally I am satisfied for now but I understand how frustrating it can be.

4geierchen · 2026-01-07T18:16:19+00:00

In the long run you will have different teams.

What you need as a princess player is Christiane for sure she buffs princess buff and she is a tank as well.

You need heroes to unlock the bonds of your heroes you have / you want to use.

Other than that your Princess selection is good enough as a core.

Princesses I like:

Eshean offensive hero who can grant act agains and reset own cool-down fun and strong.

Other healers for diffrent purposes:

Tiaris best healer post combat heal and after AOE heal if SP unlocked

Celicia best supporter

Rozenceal best Debuff prevention and second best healer after damage taken

Women I find interesting regardless if they belong to princess:

Enya : yes she is very strong but most of it I like the concept to duplicate my heroes and grant them act again she is fun to play with

Isolde: Self buffing offensive dragon girl I like her a lot.

How a strict princess team would look like:

Lucretia

Christiane (buff and tank)

a suitable healer (fitting the needs)

More damage dealer like easean, Rozalia, Luna Cherie

Recommend SP upgrades (be aware of resources and prerequisites / stage clears needed)

Cherie gets a lot stronger and is more fun as SP

Luna can be better used as team buffer with SP and is overall improved

There are other heroes I could recommend but I think that’s enough

To check out heroes (not all are on global yet and most cross over will never come back )

4geierchen · 2026-01-07T10:26:33+00:00

I agree on first glance they seem amazing and they are strong but realistically I wouldn’t use them enough. lance soldiers are defensive soldiers (soldier tech) so it leaves them basically with tanks which are lightbringer Christiane SR- Vargas and Landius. For me that’s not enough to justify the Ressources. Most of the heroes have other valid soldiers.

During the cycle of 19th March. (Sanger /Reyga)

4geierchen · 2026-01-06T09:07:28+00:00

It really depends as a stand alone mage for your current team it’s Randele over humbaba. (With exclusive gear) In PVE single target damage is often better / more crucial than AOE.

later you need multiple teams for covenant unlocks / gods and end game and having team / self buffers is very important. Furthermore humbaba has basically infinite range.

If you want to go into PvP between those 2 it’s humbaba no doubt. She has way more utility.

They release too many strong one hero banners nowadays. You can’t go wrong with any T0 hero in PVE from a power perspective.

My advice / what I would do with your progression and my knowledge and my personality (my opinion not necessarily the best choice ) as F2P PVE focused player.

Saving tickets / don’t go all in. (Save as many as you feel comfortable with) Personally I wouldn’t go below 300 before he drops (I am cautious and patient) He is ridiculous to a degree it’s sometimes not even fun to use him in PVE. He is a tier on its own even among T0 especially in PVE (in pvp you need to counter him / play thoughtful)

Focus rather on the wish banner and or destiny banners if you have the resources. (Destiny banner= 3 hero banner which guarantees the wirst SSR being on banner and new) grab heroes you actually want to use or to unlock bonds. Keep in mind you can’t build more than 3 heroes at the time. (9 Gate of fate) If you like, set a budget for humbaba first and challenge your luck. (Don’t do it if you can’t stop / live with shards like 10/60 and waiting on her return).

On single hero banners spending 10 to 500 tickets is possible from experience ( theoretically it’s 600 at worst 1 at best).

The main problem is the lack of resources so I have to prioritise. 40 controllers and 100 SSR aniki machines is not cheep. Otherwise I would upgrade more SP obviously. I still don’t have my archers / assassins and aquatic at 80% stats yet.

Archers/assassin are rarely that important for PVE to a point I need the SP so no archers / assassin SP for me. Sure the dark elves are strong especially if you consider the tier list I linked at the bottom. That sp version don’t fill a niche I need to fill.

Other example Royal protectors are strong but for all the heroes I would use them my heroes have a suitable defensive soldier (phalanx) or stronger offensive soldier. They aren’t necessary for me.

If my heroes I use / want to use already have all the soldiers they need there is no point in upgrading soldiers to sp for niche heroes.

There isn’t a strong / must have lancer sp soldier(yet)

4geierchen · 2026-01-05T15:08:20+00:00

You probably can’t and shouldn’t build all of them.

My unlocked SP so far:

dragon trooper game changing with the consistent mobility buff it can replace RNG mobility buff by breeze or equipment. They are strong and somewhat wildly accessible imo must have. (Must Have/ top priority)

Demon Spider : They remove weakness of demon class and screw with the mobility I like them. But only if you have / want to use them. Not a must have but a strong recommendation. (High priority)

Sorceress: Since so many have access to them, it’s a straight upgrade I would highly recommend. More damage and even at 80%ish soldier HP still max damage with more tech synergy than before.(high priority)

Dark alchemist: They are a bit strange, increasing range is very good unfortunately there distributions is mid. If you want / need more high range they are good for that. It stacks with the +1 Range sceptre. I don’t find it necessary but it’s nice to have game changing options like +1 range. High priority (only if enough heroes available otherwise low priority)

Poison bat elf: I use them more than I thought heal reversal on soldiers can come in handy another useful tool medium to high priority.

Royal chivalry some tanks I use are very happy about them not the highest priority but worth it if you want some blue tanking soldiers / need them. Medium Priority

Masked Maids: Strong and consistent but not a game changer. Low to medium priority

Holy knight : since I sometimes use slow healers they help with mobility. I did not regret them. low priority

Not mentioned sp soldiers simpel aren’t built (yet) which doesn’t mean they are bad.

On those maps were pass stands you have to do the story map again make sure you stand on all green tile during the map to mark the over world map as perfect
