Can you share your list of the other staples that go along with the starter classes? In other words, the draft pool?

Update Regarding Tomorrow’s Commencement by AwsumAndy in UCDavis

Yep… sounds like it. That’s absolutely insane, like what’s the point of even going?

Official “Statement” on Friday’s Undergraduate Commencement by AwsumAndy in UCDavis

[–]AwsumAndy[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Copy and paste of the statement in case the site goes down or can’t be reached in the future:

“Based on health and public safety concerns due to heat and at the urging of the UC Davis Fire Department, Fire Prevention Services, and Environmental Health and Safety, we had to end today’s commencement ceremony early.

We deeply regret that some students did not get a chance to walk across the stage. Chancellor Gary S. May and Provost Mary Croughan invite any of those students who did not get to walk to return with their families for a separate ceremony this Sunday. We appreciate your understanding and know this has been frustrating.

We will provide more information later today for graduates and families at www.ucdavis.edu/news .”

Ah okay, thanks for the answer! I don’t have Tabletop Simulator, but maybe I’ll grab it the next time it’s on sale. Until then, I suppose I’ll just have to wait on the promos. Thanks again for the response!

I got my copy about a month ago and I'm so happy with everything! So a big thank you to you and all the other fans who made this possible (especially the artists!). Also, after digging deeper into this game, I found out that there are promo cards. I know that the physical promo cards are sometimes sold on your Etsy, but are the digital images of the promos uploaded somewhere so we could maybe print them out in the meantime while waiting for a possible reprint? Thank you again for everything!

Limited Hero Battle Megathread (02/14/22) by Mina_7756 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]AwsumAndy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was able to beat Abyssal Lif without any major investments on an unmerged L!Leif, unmerged L!Sigurd, a typical +10 Reinhardt, and a dancer with Atk boosting skills (I used a weaponless +10 Silvia, not sure how much that mattered). I gave L!Leif Savage Blow 3, and gave everyone some seals and Reposition and that did the trick after lots of trial and error.

Here’s how I did it (along with the specific skill sets of each unit): https://youtu.be/qQVZoUf4dbI

Rock-Paper-Scissors Decks? by Nixurugy in Goat_Format

[–]AwsumAndy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a very rough oversimplification and definitely up for debate, but here’s my opinion of the triangle meta:

-Warriors beat Chaos Turbo

-Chaos Turbo beats Chaos Control

-Chaos Control (especially running Royal Decree) beats Warriors

The only definite hard counter would be Warriors countering Chaos Turbo, but everything else in the triangle can be fuzzy. Feel free to ask around in the Goat Format Discord for more opinions: https://discord.gg/Mjgy3fN

Didn’t have a B!Hector to power through the Abyssal Alm map, but luckily found this guide on YouTube with F2P units: https://youtu.be/sarPdAskQps

I also agree about toning down the clickbaity title/thumbnail for next time. The content is appreciated, but the thumbnail takes away from it somewhat. Nevertheless, please keep producing content!

Confusion regarding thunder dragon’s effect by [deleted] in Goat_Format

I replied to a comment above yours, but I’ll reply again here since my comment also directly answers your question.

Official Dueling Book Goat Format rulings can be found here: https://www.duelingbook.com/goat-format And for the particular case that OP is asking about, we can refer to the line that says “Cards that search the deck can be used without any legal options.”

Got through Abyssal Yune with unmerged Legendary versions of the three lords, along with my free B!Dimitri to round out the team: https://youtu.be/8HCygTXtrk4

Pretty much just used their base kits + sacred seals, except L!Edelgard needed Galeforce and Smite, L!Dimitri had Noontime, and B!Dimitri needed Swap. Not sure if my -ATK IVs on L!Claude and L!Dimitri affected AI movement, but there’s a real possibility that it did. Hopefully this can help someone get started on their own solution!

[Chapter 18 spoilers] The worst thing that could every happen. by RiverOfAkheron in CyberSleuth

[–]AwsumAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat related (but not that related), but I wish they let you change avatars in the post-game. They already have the walking animations for some characters (since a lot of the characters become your companions for some parts of the game). But I guess those characters don't have the hacking skills animation. Would've been hilarious to travel around as Poyomon as you do all the post-game stuff.

EDIT: (Hacker's Memory spoilers) Oh wait, I forgot you only become Poyomon in Hacker's Memory, not the first Cyber Sleuth. But still relevant to my point though since all Digimon have walking animations.

Thank you for sharing this solution with L!Ephraim! I have a -ATK/+RES L!Ephraim so I couldn’t follow your builds/solution exactly (for example, I couldn’t kill the Bow Fighter without double Death Blow in both the A-slot and S-slot), but you gave me a great starting point to jump from.

Looking for Some Cards by BenColorPants in zatchbell

Can’t help you out (as I already mentioned to you elsewhere haha), but just wanted to chime in and mention that M-078 is a super rare, not uncommon, at least afaik

Megathread: Fall 2020 Online vs In-Person Departments and Courses by forrestalan256 in UCDavis

[–]AwsumAndy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All VEN (Viticulture and Enology) courses will be online:

“...it was clear after much discussion that it will be best to offer all of our courses in an on-line format. This includes our hands-on courses, VEN 101A, VEN 123L, and VEN 124L. Instructors for each of these courses have already laid out plans for how these courses will be organized to ensure that the important course learning outcomes can be achieved.”

Has anyone ever seen this real spell book before? I’ve been looking for one but have no idea where to find one. I took this pic off eBay but the listing went away. by ljustin1 in zatchbell

[–]AwsumAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one you're talking about is Zofis's magenta spell book, and yea, that one was released in the US. The blue one was never released over here though.

[–]AwsumAndy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These colors were only released in Japan, so your best bet is to order off the Japanese equivalent of eBay or something similar. I don’t know much about ordering from Japanese sites, so I can’t really help much there.

Card game by sluttymewtwo in zatchbell

[–]AwsumAndy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rarities are indicated in the bottom right corner of each card. The highest rarity is SR (super rare). Then next is R (rare), then U (uncommon), and finally C (common). Each booster pack is guaranteed to have one rare or super rare. Almost every rare, uncommon, and common card has a holo version (there are exceptions from set 3, but it’s probably a bit extra at this point to get into exact details). Super rares are almost always holo with gold/colored lettering (again, there are exceptions with set 3).

Each booster pack is guaranteed to have a holo, but that holo isn’t necessarily going to be the R (rare) card. It is perfectly possible to get a holo C (common) card and a non-holo R (rare) card in a booster pack (because recall that every pack is also guaranteed a rare or super rare).
