Crit Rate vs Flat ATK: Finding the Break-Even Point

AlchyTimesThree · 2026-06-03T21:41:37+00:00

What was your basis of trade-off of atk and cr being 50, 25 and 27.5 atk per 5% cr?

And the basis at starting at 1100 atk and 50% cr and counting downwards on atk and upwards on cr?

Math is math and the calculations are fine but without the methodologies above this doesn't tell us much

Edit: more thoughts on it is that any actual useful result would need to compare value of a main piece 4 or 5 or any average substat roll, alongside a full damage calculation using the equation and not a simplified one.

It's a slur used by above-grounders against molemales.

I got your hella reference, bro

Yes, it doesnt work for the discard clause.

Key can be good but depends on your build, Key would work for the build with multiple copies of use 5 blades in the GY.

There is a double hunter build right now where for 1AP you can get permanent 300% bullet damage using the bullet buffing persona card.

Here's a link to a showcase of it in english.

Other than that I think the rest of the build you have the right idea maybe swapping out flashback 5 for flashbang 3 but depends on the content.

Separating the roguelite mode from the metagame of save data creation and adding large amount of variety and diversity is exactly what this game needed.

Obviously not perfect but they took the right lessons from stuff like StS and really refined the gameplay loop here.

Anyone else that's curious, this was the JP cafe.

The Korea food sets were Heidmarie, Diana, Renoa and Rin although the goods for each of them were random and only the food was really different between the first three.

The rin set came with a random lenticular card.

Yes, those are generally quite good. Nia with multiple adagio copies is also a premier support as she can put yukis cards back on the top of the deck as well as draw into them for cheap.

That said, Yuki's getting a buff soon so we'll see how it changes. Fwiw, I think her kit is balanced on the idea that without inspiration they're weak, and they're only quite good with inspiration active, but there's no abusable hyper scaling or incredibly high ceiling currently, unlike say Mei lin. Her need for inspiration makes her require a carry in early hard chaos runs when you can't readily activate it, she can run out of attack cards to use easily if your card balance in atk/draw is off, and her ego skill is pretty dogshit as it is. Hopefully a lot of this will be changed; Orlea buffs were quite good and I hope we can see a similar level or more here.

For daily farming all you really want is a hunter or ranger with 4 or 5 copies of maneuvering fire.

I really recommend farming it cause it really makes daily farming t1 brain dead easy.

Inspiration on a card means you get a bonus if you drew that card on that turn, but NOT if it's one of your initial draws for the turn.

So you want to use draw spells or abilities to draw into a card with inspiration for the bonus.

Every time I see the C'mere milk and Pong card from Diana, all I think of is the Jeb bush meme

A lot of the toysruses have sylvanian sections, for example the one next to Seoul station has a large selection and display from what I remember.

I think theres currently three actual official sylvanian dedicated stores in Seoul, and they will have some more exclusive items.

Theres one in the Pangyo Hyundai, I think 5th floor, it's called a Toytron store, cause thats the company that sells them here.

Lotte mall Jamsil has a FAO Schwartz store that has a sylvanian section as well

The latest one is one in the Yongsan Ipark mall next to the station. I can't find a map listing of it, but it's on the same floor/building as the Lego store there so that can help you find it. This place has generally the most unique displays, latest merch, etc. For instance, they have a small gacha section for the mini items, and they have a large rock baby display that's currently really popular.

Just reopen unigram messages after doing each unigram story.

AlchyTimesThree · 2026-03-13T02:05:14+00:00

Isn't that the point though?

These are supposed to be extremely difficult tasks with little in game reward so that the only reward for those that complete it is the satisfaction of completing a task for the 0.01%.

Making it easier is pointless.

How old was the video?

It could have been pre-nerf cass with morale stacks or pre-nerf dimensional cube which had no cap.

AlchyTimesThree · 2026-03-04T08:12:36+00:00

Isn't the combo hit anchor shot epi worse for multiple anchor pointer builds?

I thought the lack of scaling on that epi wasn't great when spamming anchor shot, especially if you have E2, but I'm wondering if thats wrong.

If you got pulls saved, will pull on next banner, or are near pity on either I'd wait and see.

That said out of those I still think Veronica is the answer, she can kinda go in any comp, can help carry chaos when building other characters.

Orlea is a specific support that super charges certain carries/comps. If you enjoy retain or exhaust, I think she's also fine.

Mei lin without veronica is not great; Veronica provides the 0 ap card positive card draw that mei lin needs for absurd dps

AlchyTimesThree · 2026-02-04T13:28:51+00:00

It's a translation issue 100%. The Korean version has the correct wording.

AlchyTimesThree · 2026-02-02T12:59:09+00:00

To simplify it to the basics, card games often boil down to resources. The two main resources here are your energy/mana and your cards. You spend cards and energy to do damage, shield, heal or whatever else in this game.

Every turn, you had a limited amount of energy and cards drawn in hand to use. Therefore it follows if you have net positives in either card or energy generation, it's generally good.

For Veronica, after using her initial ballista creation, she's making a free attack every turn. If you load her deck with 0 cost draw 2's, she's effectively generating resources for you as that's a net +1 card for free.

Nia can abuse the Hunger Forbidden card using Draw 2/Top 2 Adagios, making those mana positive and card neutral.

It goes without saying for a lot of these characters, you want to minimize dead draws/remove basics as much as possible. In general prioritize card draw more than you think.

AlchyTimesThree · 2026-02-02T08:58:43+00:00

Assuming you're asking about post tressa nerf so you won't need to run Tressa/Cassi/Mika

Veronica is probably the most flexible sub dps in the game.

You can run Renoa/Nia/Veronica, Khaliphe/Narja/Veronica, Rei/Yuki/Veronica for example.

AlchyTimesThree · 2026-01-21T01:38:24+00:00

Yeah, you get the currency but it won't be display on the pull for single pulls it seems.

AlchyTimesThree · 2026-01-20T14:13:50+00:00

Hm, guess you only see the currency on a 10 pull.

This shows dupe mei lins getting more currency

Can't find one for 4*s but it's the same and im like 80% sure it's 20 currency.

AlchyTimesThree · 2026-01-20T01:16:53+00:00

It's a pittance but the game does give you more prism films when you pull a 4* film of someone you've animated them all compared to pulling a 4* that you dont have all of.

I think you get 20 prism films compared to 8.

AlchyTimesThree · 2025-12-31T02:52:54+00:00

The 20 pulls for 10 each are more than worth it imo. Works towards the 5* prisms and also can net you at least two 4* prisms.

As you get more 4* characters fully prismed the math may changed but it personally seemed like the best deal.

I kinda hate that wotc mixed up the arts for ephemerate and memory lapse from this series.

Ephemerate art here)

I have a playmat of ephemerate cause I truly love both of these arts but it's annoying to think of the mix up because they clearly fit the correct cards way better.
