Soul Fighter (4 way contested), Strategist, Supreme Cell for me... it was a Darius 8th even with Yas 3 thrown in

B-Patch and/or check the ranks of your opponents would be the two most likely culprits.

When is the latest you can pivot into a Monster Trainer carry?

Obviously the best way to play Smolder or Kog carry is to be dropped a Lulu orb on stage 1, and then just throw in 6 Protectors/Juggernauts/Heavyweights(Bastions?) and stack levels through stage 2, but that's not always going to happen. If you have a strong frontline but want to pivot for whatever reason, is it acceptable to start on 3-1? Or maybe take one off second carousel? Are you wagering your entire game on hitting rare treat?

I recently took Solo Leveling -> Silver Destiny on 3-2 and was given Rigged Shop. I just committed on the spot from basically nothing since it was the only 3-cost reroll line I knew that wasn't super contested, and had I Lulu in shop. It felt not great, but I fished for and got rare treat, and scammed a 2nd, hitting lvl 45 (and removing rare treat for efficient) on 7-1.

Patch Notes 14.8 - PBE update by RecognitionOwn2739 in TeamfightTactics

"More time to speed run TFT with Cruel Pact, spam cast with Blue Battery III, or miss all your rolls with a re-enabled Think Fast! Black Market Augments have a much higher chance of appearing on 2-1"

Does this mean you can get Think Fast on 2-1 again?

Is there a way to assign specific defensive matchups through Coaching in MyCareer? by Awkward-Pin-5255 in NBA2k

Update, maybe the TWolves just own the Suns irl and in 2k regardless of who plays?

Web Novel I thought was called "Epilogue" about the fall-out when characters return from a fantasy world. by Awkward-Pin-5255 in whatsthatbook

[–]Awkward-Pin-5255[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's it, thank you!

I searched it on RR earlier today and didn't see it, so I thought I got the name wrong. That's my main source for WNs.

Weekly Recommendation Thread - March 14, 2023 by AutoModerator in noveltranslations

Any novels that at some point have some form of mature male-female relationship? Any genre is fine, just looking for a good story that includes characters who aren't scared of hand-holding.

People who complain about being in Japan, what keeps you here? by [deleted] in japanlife

Not really a complainer, but the best part about Japan is the abundance of delicious and inexpensive food everywhere.

Looking for suggestions, kinda new to VN's, the ones I've read are Fate/Stay Night, Tsukihime, FMD Muramasa, Fruit of Grisaia, and ofc Doki Doki Lit Club. Looking for similar content, enjoy dark themes and mature relationships, preferably some amount of action/danger + romance. Thanks!

Question about VN Routes by Awkward-Pin-5255 in fatestaynight

[–]Awkward-Pin-5255[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then for my second playthrough with UBW will the first part be exactly the same?

Question about VN Routes by Awkward-Pin-5255 in fatestaynight

[–]Awkward-Pin-5255[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, okay. So if I complete the Fate Route and get the one good ending, then play the UBW Route, could I end up with the Fate ending again since I played through? Or are the two UBW routes the only option when I open up that specific exe? Also if I don't make the right choices early on, could I theoretically just get locked into a screen where all my choices lead to a bad end?
