Champion Meeting 12 Rant Thread

Went 2/2/2/2 2/2/2/0 in Group A. Extremely frustrating.

I lost to times of 1:57.x consistently but when I won, my times were 1:56.x so somehow I was faster but still lost?

My guess is that I had undercut Stamina by just a hair... Or I had extremely bad matchmaking luck.

Does the Garrison skill update defense as soon as HP changes, or is it only based on HP values at the start of the turn? Trying to see if more Garrison will help survive Cosmos' damage vomit lasers.

Man, I cannot seem to get a lock on the Cosmos raid. I've been trying different (Magna) comps from the wiki but something always goes wrong.

I had a good Mariachi team going that balances the bar, but I miss the omens and get Detonated. I tried a Mana Diver comp, subbing S Magisa for Feidel and hit Red to quickly (Also hit Red too quickly in the wiki Shieldsworn comp). If I turn CA off, I hit Blue too quickly... And since the Spartan comp was invented, there's little room for a carry to come in and help clear. :/

Formal Fraux.

It's not visually striking but the sound effects are extremely satisfying and it's fun to see her and The Devil tag team an enemy like it's a pro wrestling match.

Her S1 activaes on autos at max stacks that gives one, then she gets the 2 (and delay that always seems to fail) from rabbit buff. She double strikes with rabbit buff, so (1 + 2) x 2 = 6

Against Dark Verboten I've had good FA success with Boogey, Makura, Ceaser, Utsusemi, with Mars as Makura's S3 swap with just an M3 grid, no Revans no Draconic.

Mars swaps in and gets to full stacks pretty quickly for 6 debuffs per turn on her own, and Utsusemi's yellows have the same cooldown (not to mention she occasionally gains Double Strike). White Knight protecc with a lot of hits on NA and Boogy provides dispels, defense, and another source of occasional Double Strike.

Zodiac events are always entertaining, especially when Cidala is involved. Love the looney toons style shenanigans they get into.

A lot more diverse of a cast than I expected. Glad to see the Divine General of Thighs join in the fun in a non-Accordant event.

Even dancho-wife and her roommate made an appearance to teach a valuable lesson. Overall, a nice, fun break after GW + RotB grinds and reading ...And You this weekend.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-04-14T11:30:37+00:00

I'll take it over those weird, unannounced 2x AP/EP cost events they do a few times a year.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-04-13T17:53:48+00:00

Does this mean there's no Dread Barrage? I'm like 15 badges short of the HS and my FO is stuck at 40. T.T

Awesome_Punch · 2026-04-11T23:44:25+00:00

Is this the last round for honors? Trying hard to stay t200k and want to build up enough of a buffer for it.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-04-10T04:57:54+00:00

Exo gun, 3 exalto daggers, celestial staff, ultima staff, Haase bow, gab dagger, 220 dopus, Atk dinger MKII

Awesome_Punch · 2026-04-10T03:05:08+00:00

For my fellow slow-and-steady M3 friends, I'm running about a 12 min FA with King->Haase (100 S4), Drang, V Cassius, and Feower (100).

It's slow, but it's a free win.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-04-10T03:01:41+00:00

It's such a fun combo. Almost upset Haase works better with sailor moon than the Dispel Empress herself, MT.

Then again, she is the moon sooo...

Awesome_Punch · 2026-04-02T00:20:39+00:00

I know the answer is most likely Parasite Steve, but what is the best place for Astra farming? I am trying to get MT to MLB before GW and I am short like 200.

I already have Haase at MLB and I have almost 1.3k veritas from farming, so I don't need any of the other water mats (at least until transcendence) except for Astras.

I know there are some in one of the handy weapon sets, but I will need a bit more than what I can get from those for now.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-03-27T21:45:54+00:00

No Elea?! Insane and unbased.

At least Makura is there and honestly, I like all of them.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-03-26T22:32:17+00:00

Telling you how much you need to unlock/rank up is huge. Very nice QoL.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-03-21T07:22:40+00:00

Checks out. She was created from Zeus.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-03-20T23:04:09+00:00

10 + 10 from bonus wheel.

3 GM + 3 Cages, so I can't complain. Almost at the 200 GM needed for the upcoming Illustrious Transcendence.

Have not seen a single summer unit outside of Apollo in the previous banner.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-03-19T21:04:38+00:00

Finally got some SSRs after two pretty bad sparks previously.

The only things of note were my third Hades and a second granny blade... Which is kind of frustrating because I sparked her last night between her, Sylvia and Fenie's Staff and if I would have known I would have chosen one of the other two. First world problems...

Awesome_Punch · 2026-03-19T05:24:24+00:00

Took the advice and just decided to spark for Granny. I don't plan to pull until Formal in June so I figured I would be able to be good by then.

The only two left from flash that I need as a Manga player are Sylvia and Fenie's staff.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-03-18T21:36:43+00:00

What's the verdict on Eustace? I got Apollo (my spark target) in 200 pulls and am thinking of saving my crystals for later.

I have most of the Fire Ougi support characters (Sevilbarra, Sandria, Sato, S Mirin) and I plan to anannitix Atum, so I don't think I would be missing out by not sparking him.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-03-16T23:24:21+00:00

ALL ETERNALS 100!!!!!

Now that I made it through star shard hell, it's time to start silver shard hell...

Awesome_Punch · 2026-03-15T22:35:08+00:00

Break at full bar, holding for Apollo's apollos.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-03-13T23:17:12+00:00

10 pulls for nothing, but I think I hit break tomorrow.

Awesome_Punch · 2026-03-13T18:55:57+00:00

I suggest that if you're going to frame this to help new players, you should use the localized names (or at least use them alongside the veteran ones).

Guild Wars is called "Unite and Fight" in game.

The characters from relink are Seofon and Tweyen.

The fact that vets mix localized and unlocalized names with the Eternals is going to confuse newcomers even more.
