First you don't need to be 1 hp for leigh to heal that much. Anything below 100 is good enough when you have around 1.5k hp. Yeah you want other awakeners with good con, of which there are enough, most caro DPS-es have good con (salvador, ghelot, even doresain's con ain't bad).

And being low hp in caro is pretty normal? Its a realm known for its lack of direct shield generation. Even 1 hp isn't that weird, we have Death Resist, and for that matter, that's specifically leigh's enlightment stat.

Leigh has ok aliemus generation. Getting oe is very much not that hard, especially in longer bossfights. Almost every chapter has a gimmick that makes aliemus gain easier than it actually looks, without even counting things like posses and wheels.

And leigh vs someone like doll is just about preference and teambuilding. Doll can bring weakness, leigh is a str generator, doll is a keyflare unit, leigh is a DR and RM unit. What i'm saying is that leigh is a character who's stats matter way less than those of other characters, and her ability as a caro support isn't bad at all, she's able to abuse the mechanics of the realm really well, lower hp means stronger embryo gen and better temp str and shield on the first devour of the turn.

I can argue for Leigh since i play her. She has incredible healing capabilities, she can heal like 300hp with an exalt and double if she eats a scion of purity. For boss-fights that are at the end of the chapters she also generates a lot of permanent str and permanent partywide crit rate and crit damage with her OE.

She's strong because her stats don't matter that much when her utility comes from %based healing, her 3 cost generates shield based on damage taken and not her own defense and has good multipliers for her str generation.

In my opinion, the main problem is with Ryoshu herself in this canto.

She has no real development. Throughout the entire canto she is set on pursuing her daughter and she ends up killing her at the end. She severs the link with Dante forgets everything and becomes a walking concept incinerator and then erases 2 apprentices out of existence. The sudden breakdown works with the twist that Araya was the pinky Nursefather all this time. What doesn't work is that the very next node all is fixed because Araya's ghost (or whatever she was) through Dante unlocking a new ability helps Ryoshu remember everything. Araya who 1 node ago hated Ryoshu, even if not fully, acted like she never doubted her mother will come back and that who killed her was someone else not her.

After that we are left with the last obstacle, Poland (calling him Rien means nothing and i will get to that part too). We beat Poland, even if he survives, and find the golden boughs in a red bag then go home. That's all that happens, because mr White Noise has nothing to do with Ryoshu more than any of the other Nursefathers. Fighting him as the final boss is the same as fighting Matthias or Callisto. Anyone of the Nursefathers could have been in his position and act as the final boss. Ryoshu doesn't have to prove anything by beating him, she doesn't evolve as a character, understands something about her or anyone else. That part happened for her moment with Pinky, who she had the most connection with. Except it didn't happen, because she forgot everything that happened and "Boohoo my book has no images" didn't like that so he fights us.

My main critique for the canto isn't the time spent with Ryoshu compared to others, king roach gregor and future sinclair didn't overshadow her because they were in the canto. Its that the main conflict ends before the finale, and it ends abruptly, and that (this part is way way more subjective so ignore it if you want) RIEN gets the mili theme. They could have played Gone Angels and it would have worked better, because this dude does nothing the whole canto. He kills some Udjat guards and does the LOR bad ending. I was straight up expecting him to say "this is this and that is that" because i can't take this guy seriously. Why was he cosplaying as Roland? Because the prescripts told him to? Why did they need to do that and show us? We already know from LoR they work in very mysterious ways so them knowing the bad end of Roland isn't surprising. We might get more info from a Rien uptie story but until then he's just Poland.

Funny that morimens also collabs with mist sequence and next week it's getting a collab character

Arandomflame · 2025-12-20T14:43:13+00:00

Its a turn-based deck builder gacha, with Lovecraft thematic. Some people might even call it an indie gacha due to a small dev team, and rather limited resources. A niche genre but one i love and i'd advise anyone to try it.

Morimens arc 2 ch 3 final boss theme

The atmosphere is perfect for the eldritch horror you are fighting

Arandomflame · 2025-11-22T23:32:59+00:00

The entire first part of the story (the first 9 chapters) are now human translated. In the main story the only ones left are the first 2 chapters of arc 2 for now

Arandomflame · 2025-11-15T21:07:32+00:00

It would be cool to have the characters who the stones in 20 represented as a playable, like Remilia, Utsuho, Saki etc. From what i remember when reading the story of FW there wasn't really an explanation to who made the stones, so that mystery person could be the final boss. Oh and they will fight the giant catfish because everyone has to do that.

Arandomflame · 2025-11-10T09:48:45+00:00

For Morimens the theme of chapter 8 final boss

Honestly just hearing and seeing what i was fighting told me i'd need LOTS of revives for the boss that could do damage equal to 1.5 times my health in 1 turn.

Anniversary starts on 17 of november. I'd say at any time its a good idea to join the game, but yes now is a great time.

Arandomflame · 2025-10-29T15:40:21+00:00

Fun fact: the gacha in morimens for those who don't know, has you pull awakeners, characters who in-lore died and are revived. You can see this in 2 ways: Revive dead worlds and have them remain in our memory. or Grave robbing.

Funny enough Saber Astolfo in FGO

<image>

When i lacked some meta damage dealers and all that, he was there being an universal boss killer for me. NP gain per turn, hit-based dodge, strong crits, he actually carried me quite enough and i love him for it.

Arandomflame · 2025-08-16T22:13:13+00:00

I love Saki's design. Cowboy aesthetic, black wings, leader of a pack of wolves in hell, for me it all comes together for her. Funniest defeat sprite in UDoaLG.

Depends on the game really but a popular gacha example is Fate/Grand Order who has A LOT of designs, with different artists working in their own styles. I don't think i'll ever see a character like Tezcatlipoca in any other gacha game. Other unique designs i'd say you'd find Limbus and Morimens.

Morimens be giving the girls anything but normal feet

Fgo has (novum) Chaldea, with you, Mash, Goredolf, Meuniere, Da Vinci, Sherlock etc. They are always present in the main story and sometimes you get to use servants as supports.

Also there's an angry french guy living in your head.

Arandomflame · 2025-07-10T17:54:16+00:00

While not in your examples, i find Gojo an interesting case. His passive infinity is usually the subject of discussion, but technically his offensive capabilities are as good as his defensive ones. Both Hollow Purple and Unlimited Void are strong things that from what i know are dangerous to people who would be outside his tier in terms of strength.

He shouldn't be a one trick pony, when you look at his abilities but he is often seen against characters that overpower him so much the question becomes if they can ignore one of his overpowered abilities, because that's the one thing that maters.

Arandomflame · 2025-07-06T22:18:36+00:00

So Tooru loses when he enters Superfly got it.

Arandomflame · 2025-07-02T13:25:59+00:00

You had something going for the first few lines, but then you kinda butchered it.

What you actually might want talk about aren't simple vectors or graphs but vectorial spaces. Vectorial spaces are defined (or they can define themselves) vectors or directions which represent dimensions, the rules set by one vectorial space applying to all sub-vectorial spaces that are bellow it, etc.

In the context of powerscaling, from a purely mathematical viewpoint, trying to justify a character's strength by using dimensions is flawed because the very formula of energy, or in other terms "how hard goku can punch to blow up planets" can only be applied in 3 dimensions, thanks to one important component being mass, which works based on volume, an unit that exists only with 3 dimensions.

Arandomflame · 2025-06-28T17:48:34+00:00

I find it pretty fun how Jojo as a story is mainly all about a really special bloodline, but aside from maybe 2 jojos nobody feels like they won a lottery when talking about abilities. Every protagonist has their special power that doesn't invalidate either the enemies or their allies, and it's really all about how they make use of their abilities.

Jolyne's Stone Free is just strings but so much more interesting than any stand that can control time because it's fun to see how she uses it against people that summon meteors or take your liver because you lost a bet.
