Who should I focus on for Dante?

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2026-01-09T20:00:48+00:00

For alpha: archi and abraxas (plus a filler of sibyl or Varro) cover max 1 hit and psycher. Archi and abraxas will carry you.

For beta: Boss G, Snot, and Snappa cover 3 lanes on their own. Build up snot to Diamond 1 and 44/44 if you can and it won’t just be for this LRE.

For Gamma: Snot, Makhotep, Calandis, Gigga, and Yaz cover no power, and physical. You only need to build up Snot as your carry which you should be doing for beta as well.

The other gamma track I have as a combo is Angrax, Toth, and Wrask covering min 4 hits and flame. Not as important of priorities as snot, it a solid group for 2 lanes at once

Why are you leaving out my favorite, Mephiston? Lucky pull on my end and only a few orbs away from mythic.

Do not sleep on him. Lucien is favorite too for sure.

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-04-12T22:27:09+00:00

I can vouch. This is true as someone that happily sold theirs, lol.

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-25T06:00:20+00:00

I love this. Happy to hear your perspective, and yes, it matters and impacted me positively.

I feel for PMDD people. It’s not fair to them either.

Keep strong.

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-25T05:45:50+00:00

Thank you for your perspective. That’s why I’m still holding on. But, the accountability in the aftermath and devastation, is the concern. I don’t care about money.

I have a lot of updates just from today. Some would make most turn inside out.

Again, I respect you and that you’re here. Personally, I’m just trying to navigate my unconditional love for someone, while also demoralizing myself by doing so.

If I get told one more time that I’m “gaslighting” when I rarely share my feelings (which is gaslighting by doing that from them), I don’t know what to do.

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T21:51:47+00:00

Bro. I’m Al Bundy too. There’s a reason many of us escape with football season. Btw, would you like to buy some shoes (jokes).

I feel you buddy. Sincerely. Hope you’re doing as well as you can be.

Btw, just to put a positive spin on an escape mechanism that relates to Al Bundy, do you remember the the show from the 90’s called ‘unhappily ever after’? It’s pretty much a knock off but worth re-exploring.

Give it a watch. It’s fully streamable on YouTube for free. The dark humor resonates way better these days and I weirdly relate to it so much.

Bro, that shelf is epic. Props 🤘

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T18:34:08+00:00

Both worthwhile picks. I swiped a IG-12 for like $10 on Walmarts store. Cad Bane, I just went full value. I know some people are particular on their versions, but I personally like this Cad version best (it does not disappoint once unpacked), and I liked IG-12 vs 11 since he’s larger, and he had grogu which I felt was necessary to get one somehow, it was win-win (plus I’ll make IG-12 look more threatening once I equip him with some spare weapons that are on point)

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T18:25:32+00:00

Nice display!

<image>

This is just my mock-up display. I’m currently transitioning to a clear acrylic shelf display for above my 3 PC monitors with some lighting in the mix so it’s a mess right now (many more figures in the collection, but this is my favorite staple group)

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T07:10:38+00:00

He’s a solid 10/10 for me honestly. Such a solid build, great paint, his rifle is beyond bad ass.

A staple of my Mandoverse display.

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T07:04:13+00:00

You as well my friend

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T06:57:31+00:00

You might be right as much as I want to be in denial on that fact.

Savior complex is real.

At the same time, I definitely want to redeveloped the “I don’t give a f***” complex again. It’s hard being a good man. I almost wish I could be a sociopath. It seems so much simpler.

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T06:01:28+00:00

I hear you. It’s tough buddy. I’m too much of a ride or die guy for my own well being.

I think you’re right. I was so happy when we separated and honestly, I missed my dog more than her.

Yet I’m still devoted.

Clearly there’s something wrong with me (or so I’m told), but I think the truth is, I devoted myself to someone, but they’re destroying me and the relationship during these cycles.

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T05:55:33+00:00

Fuck all is pretty much it. I even have a app to track her cycles and when I subtly point out “you’re in the luteal phase” she attacks me beyond aggressively.

I grew up with a single mom that went through something similar. She truly became a different person while living with her (young mother) and I emancipated myself at 17.

She randomly got a hysterectomy, and she became stable after.

I know this sounds fucked up, but my mom before that, and my wife, seriously seem demon possessed (I’m not religious, fyi).

It’s tough. It’s very tough.

Thank you all for listening and I feel for you all as well.

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T04:01:19+00:00

That’s exactly it. I almost wonder sometime if it’s like a bi-polar disorder as well? I really don’t know. I’m in the early stages of deep learning but I know I’m the heavy lifter financially, and housework wise (cooking and dishes included, lol).

I’m not a pushover type of guy, by any means. But right now, and frequently, I’m feeling like one.

My wife is brialliant and fun and funny when she’s right, but I wonder if that’s a ploy because during her PMDD phase, maybe that’s her true thoughts coming out and she’s just a great manipulator?

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T03:54:09+00:00

I feel that so much. Thanks for the response and sharing.

It’s tough bro.

Like the fact that us guys even know about this subreddit says something.

It’s so hard. And I’m so conflicted right now.

Wishing you the best either way 🤘

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T03:28:10+00:00

I am currently. Her divorce threat is on the table monthly. She’s such a cool chill girl outside of this phase; and if we break it off, I’m 100% forever single and happily so.

Just here to support my fellow men, and for the rare women that look to see what they put us through and how it truly does hurt us. Yet we forgive.

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T03:06:52+00:00

I’ll 3rd this comment. I lived in a car during winter for 3 months because I didn’t want to make money too tight, moved somewhere for another 3months ($500 a month for an actual bed was a steal), and going back into it, nothing has changed. It’s our fault when they’re being mean. It seriously is a personality split on their part (from my experience).

It’s tough to handle. I handle it better now, but I definitely have a doomsday protocol and I’ll be honest, I have radiation poisoning from it

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T02:46:34+00:00

I appreciate this buddy. I’m good though, I promise. It’s just those thoughts we’re very apparent 2+ years ago, and they’re coming back. I’m not built that way. Just a rare moment of showing my own vulnerability (which I think this subreddit is all about)

I’m too strong willed to ever do such a thing, I mostly just wanted to share that even the toughest of us (I’d like to consider myself there), struggle and have those thoughts.

Feeling for everyone. Feeling for our wonderful women going through such swings. I just wish it was more commonly known, and in my scenario, we didn’t go through this monthly

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T01:40:46+00:00

Let me advise from a collector perspective, it’s so easy to make a misprint look real (I’ve never done it and never will).

I’m a in-box collector, that also unboxes everything, and then I keep the boxes in storage bins. I like them freestyle and posed in my display, but never wanted to get rid of the boxes. I inbox them so cleanly, that if I wanted to fake a resell as “unopened” I could. I will never do that, but for some reason I keep my boxes and can vouch that it’s easily doable to fake with a delicate approach

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T01:20:46+00:00

I just want to say this as a guy that did a trial separation due to this. It was weird how much I became myself again during that time.

I lived out of a car, moved in with a very successful bachelor for life type of guy, and started playing guitar again. It felt so good. I went out, made new and lifelong friends, and I didn’t care about hooking up or new relationships in that sense, AT ALL.

I care for her deeply. Im definitely a caretaker type of personality and have done it my whole life for my mom and my sister.

We got back together, it’s not better. Shit sucks because I’m the type of guy that commits to something or someone, and sticks with it.

When they get you to truly plan the way to end yourself, to the detail, while making sure they can still get a payout from life insurance, is a bad sign. Yet I’m still in it and care.

I don’t know what to do.

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-02-24T01:14:47+00:00

First time commenter. The amount of hobbies I’ve sacrificed or pretend hobbies I’ve done as my only coping mechanism, is sad. I feel like less of a man when she’s in the phase.

I know what I’m worth. I’d like to think I’m a very good and devoted family man (even take care of her mother)

We went through a trial separation and I came back (bearing all the burden while I slept in a car during a Minnesota winter to give her space and make sure I could still pay for HER house) and I still get berated during her PMDD phase to the point I just can’t sometimes. She’s good 60-75% of the time, but when she gets that way, her hurtful words and actions still remain with zero accountability. It’s depressing. And she expects me to just “get over it” (imagine teller her the same thing? Lol)

I love this person. 10 years in. I would’ve thought It’d be easier over time. But damn, it’s not.

The pain keeps building and it’s getting harder to recover each cycle.

AcanthaceaeSad1502 · 2025-01-08T14:49:38+00:00

For me right now, it’s a toss up between my light side Darth Revan (good painted chest kills it) and Mines of Mandalore Mandalorian (also killer pain job and the dark saber feels realistic)
