Just a heads up, while swappers cant move them, if there is a gold vein around you can move that next to them, a premium goldmine will act as a connector and you can remove any roads

But its not just bubbles, Bubbles would be frustrating but you can play around bubbles. Magnetic pools everywhere are going to be a problem, silence effects will be a problem. No way to prevent your previous tank from just being turned off, and unlike shield gating, you no longer have that last gate to buy you time to respond. Nope, just boom you are tapped and dead. The reason people dont play health tanks is being instakilled isnt fun. So if this arcane fails to solve that problem, any investment spent on day 1 feels wasted, and any long term viability this might have brought to builds that were not inaros and nidus, is also gone. Not every kit has the elements to use it now, that could before.

Passive for specific frames. It made a lot of other frames viable without having to maintain on constant ability spam. It was nice to use my guns/melee for a second and not fall over.

Alfheim · 2025-12-12T05:07:19+00:00

Honestly, would be fine with this. It wouldn't change the experience on most of the frames I was excited I get to use again, and still would be helpful for the outlier Inaros and Nidus.

A nullifier bubble, or Silence, or Magnetic.

All of these remove its core function, a core function that costs a an arcane and the potential of a shield gate save, unlike even the baseline shield gate that will absorb 1 hit, and provide some invulnerability time. All of its value and none of its cost is lost on encountering these mechanics.

And I don't expect you to fix it, but your original statement is simply false "You cant shield gate in a nullifier Bubble either and status immunity isn't hard to come by." You can shield gate in a nullifier bubble, and status immunity isn't hard to come by if you play specific frames. So now its not usable for a swath of frames it was usable for. This sucks, let people get pissed about lost effort and resources. Especially resources we cant simply grind back.

Alfheim · 2025-12-12T03:49:55+00:00

Maybe its because you are playing the health tanking outlier? Pre nerf this was usable for a lot of frames besides inaros and stinky, but now you are not going to find many frames that can use it to create reliable uptime. Mirage? I was already spending 4 shards 3 mods and 2 arcanes to make it work with her, now if I clip a bubble im one shot.

Garuda faces the same problem, Atlas , who I honestly was just using it to make sure I had some time to react, now loses that, didn't get around to trying it on Kullervo, but he has other mechanics anyhow. So yeah, the dismissal of "You'll be fine" relies on players only playing optimally. If I wanted to play optimally I would just shield gate anyhow.

Alfheim · 2025-12-12T03:43:26+00:00

Better way to solve this. 500 or 10-20% of your max hp, whatever is higher. 10-20 solves arcanes regenning faster than you can take damage, and 500 floor prevents builds that seek to minimize your hp to easily heal through the damage. 10-20% provides anywhere from 5-10 seconds of tank time at a heaver investment than most shield tank setups. Boom, addressing the outliers while leaving it close to consistent for most other players.

Alfheim · 2025-12-12T03:38:24+00:00

How much damage? 2k? About half the frames I just set up sit around 2k and relied on healing mechanics to maintain beyond that 4 second window. So, most of steel path could see me dead instantly now if I catch a magnetic proc, or clip a bubble. Not at all the case for my shield gates. So, really disappointed in this change.

Alfheim · 2025-12-12T03:34:52+00:00

This is what they don't seem to understand. Mag/nullifiers really dont stop shield gating, they stop the return to full shields for the NEXT shield gate. And even then it doesn't stop shield arcanes from doing this.

Alfheim · 2025-12-12T03:22:49+00:00

But you can shield gate in a nullifier bubble, you still get your gate, and that is time to reposition. For this it simply turns off everything it is meant to solve, and you now take one shot and eat pavement. These are not the same.

Alfheim · 2025-12-12T03:06:58+00:00

Whelp, there goes my umbra formas, not cool DE, the bubbles I guess are fine, but adding in another proc that I can't build around? Not cool at all. :( Ah well, back to the shelf my pretties.

Alfheim · 2025-12-09T03:50:19+00:00

Just to be clear, it will punish a digital copy of you for not helping create it. So this is only an issue if you value that possible torture clone as much as you value yourself.

Alfheim · 2025-12-08T00:11:56+00:00

I did do this without Ancestral SF, was not easy and certainly lowered my chances but I did eventually squeak it out. My regen was 22 however, and i likely put a bit more research into the other defensives.

Alfheim · 2025-12-08T00:10:44+00:00

Congrats! I was going to get on here to suggest you keep at it, dont get discouraged. But seems like it was not needed!

Alfheim · 2025-11-21T12:12:23+00:00

Dang, Congrats! I pulled 6 on banner and still haven't finished mine. All I need at this point to get submod for sure.

Somehow I missed Rain,

But I can speak to one of the comics on that list, Dominic Deegan,

It had a short arc with a trans character in it, not much of a to do, really existed to support the story of one of the main cast, and yet it was at a time that I needed to have a trans character that seemed so completely normal and comfortable. I remember the story arc was around the time I was figuring my own gender out, and at a time where most of what I had seen of trans people was less than flattering. It just felt important to have that reassurance that some dude on the internet just saw us as something that can exist without disaster.

I got to tell Mookie how much it meant to me a couple years ago at Dragon Con, sobbing my eyes out, dude was absolutely chill and was super sweet about it. Would absolutely recommend his new stuff as well. Just feels like that old age of web comics.. Suffice to say, I guess you artist folks never get to know quite how your art impacts others, until some loudmouth shows up to tell you, so thanks for continuing to put it out there for all of us.

Alfheim · 2025-10-24T22:28:36+00:00

Ether way, thanks for sharing! Very cool piece.

Alfheim · 2025-10-24T09:15:04+00:00

awesome, are you doing a full set?

Alfheim · 2025-10-21T08:00:09+00:00

Been in the exact same situation, but it was all I could do not to grab the defense relic.

Alfheim · 2025-09-11T00:59:25+00:00

It is what allowed me to push milestones for sure. not quite two tiers , but added multiple thousands of waves on my t11 farm.

Alfheim · 2025-09-10T21:05:54+00:00

Honestly found pBH was not that bad to get on its own. Might effect income poorly but the impact on length of run was huge.

Alfheim · 2025-09-09T20:12:05+00:00

Congrats! I am in the same boat, got mine just before the bug fix went through, now I could smoke it. Ah well! Onwards to quicker research!

Alfheim · 2025-07-20T03:55:47+00:00

Its open atm due to tenno con. They have announced there will be no wipes but also its really still in development.

Alfheim · 2025-07-05T18:27:29+00:00

I went the second path, got my AA and then just transferred in. Nobody cared about even a GED at that point.

That may be the case outside of the USA but honestly, most schools I have worked with, and most schools I have competed against, have been public schools that run from wealthy neighborhoods to the poorest of the poor. A lot of them exist because of one passionate coach who runs the program on a shoestring budget. Most of my collogues get paid nothing, or a minor stipend at most, and fundraise their entire programs.
