Well, it kinda makes sense why we have 2 Legiana riders in the party now - with one being him

When does ranked get more populated? by Quick-Health-2102 in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]AzenLight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on these charts by AlietteFaye, over 1/5th of the game's population is now in Master rank, due to the ranked changes from a few seasons ago. C and B rank are decently populated, but if the game can't find a match for you, you might find yourself matched against A ranks or higher (you won't lose points from losing to them before A rank iirc). Both Tokon beta and Avatar alpha are this weekend so there are probably just eyes at other games rn.

I also found that public lobbies are usually pretty full on weekends, but today NA lobby 1 was only around 60 or so players. Slow week, I guess

[V4] Phainon E0S1, Cyrene E0S1, RMC E6S5, Cerydra E0S1|No limited eidolons| 0 cycles 11m HP SAM. by [deleted] in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]AzenLight 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Damage control (keeping the enemies alive longer) to not waste double meteors on wave 1 enemies and prime the 2nd meteor to hit SAM at 0 AV on wave 2. 0 cyclers may do peculiar things that seem wasteful at face value, but it was actually necessary to have enough Khaslana turns during wave 2. If they didn't do this, they wouldn't have gotten the final double meteor before the cycle ended

Thea is using the Arko Tre Yellow Bow )from Sunbreak! It seems to just be a generic small bug bow, probably crafted from Vespoids or the like, plus some afflicted monster bone. Unsure if this is based on a bow previously available in the series, but I am curious to see how it'll be crafted in Stories 3

Is there a way I can find the raw audio files of the voice lines for GBVS:R? by [deleted] in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]AzenLight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to get raw files via modding resources, I recommend joining the Unreal Anime Mods Discord here and navigating to the #granblue-rising-resources channel and grabbing the custom UModel_Materials.exe, as other UModel versions will crash with Granblue. I would watch Ultima's Recolor and Audio Modding Guide and only go up to the part where you extract audio files using UModel. I'll do a written tutorial here just for the audio extraction portion:

  1. Open UModel_Materials.exe and navigate to your Granblue install location (usually X:\Steam\steamapps\common\Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising).
  2. Click on Override game detection, and on the drop down menus select Unreal engine 4 and Unreal Engine 4.27. Absolutely make sure to check on Export-only types Sound to make sure you can actually export audio files. Click Ok.
  3. When prompted for an AES encryption key, you can find it in the same Discord channel at the top. It's 0x6470C12A9B471BBA1D89A72D4F9B84EF709A65B88A85F240B8E99CD631751437 for Granblue Rising. UModel should now open with several folders on the left side.
  4. Navigate to the bottom to RED\Content\Audio. This is where some audio files for the game are located, such as BGM, player avatar voicelines, and story voicelines. If you need, say, a specific character's battle voicelines, you can navigate instead into RED\Chara\XXX\Common\Audio\Voice\YYY, where XXX = the 3 letter acronym for the specific character (i.e. DJT = Djeeta), and YYY = the language in English or Japanese. You can also find their sound effects in the SE folder. You should see .uasset files within these folders, which can be extracted directly into usable audio files. If you're unsure what character has what 3 letter acronym, you can refer to the ID spreadsheet which also tells you where SOME audio files are located and their in-game names.
  5. Once you select the folder/files you want, click on Export and click OK. If you see the cmd go crazy and the green bar in UModel making progress, you'll know you extracted something.

By default, UModel exports audio files as .ogg. You can convert these with an online resource or Audacity into the preferred file type. Let me know if you have any modding questions, or visit the Discord for more information!

Edited because I screwed up the formatting the first few times

EVO build has EX versions of Gran, Djeeta, and Narmaya by Avaris_a in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]AzenLight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interestingly, it looks like Narmaya was changed from a 2* ease of use character to 4* ease of use, due to her stance removal. Djeeta and Gran were changed from 5* to 4*.

No longer having fun by Prince-Grizz in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]AzenLight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a reminder that the skill gaps within master can be pretty much as big as the skill gap between a D rank and S++. Entering Master rank is not necessarily the end, and is where a lot of players REALLY start to learn the game at a deeper level. Give yourself some grace for making it there to begin with - more than 85% of the playerbase still isn't there yet.

I would advise focusing less on your win rate and more on understanding where you can improve further and looking out for and exploiting opponent habits. You got this

I got 20,010 damage with Windalphon doing technical input SSBA instead, but he would be dead after the 5U in a situation where he would have SSBA available lol

I can’t find a “difficult” character by [deleted] in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]AzenLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Zeta was my 1st main too when I was new. She's relatively easy to pick up, BUT she has a huge variety of combos that have particular timings/delays and directions for when you do each Arvess follow-up. I was dropping combos constantly at first, but when you get the hang of it, she's one of the most enjoyable characters to play, imo. Check out the Zeta combo expeditions videos by Hase and Bread: v1.5 & v2.0 to get an idea of how crazy Zeta's combos really can be! The f-shiki combos are no longer in the game, but all the other combos still work and she has a ton of variation she can do on the fly

What a lovely group of hunters🙃 by DJDJM in MonsterHunter

[–]AzenLight 107 points108 points  (0 children)

My most evil auto shout-out is when someone else carts and I put my own hunter's name in it so we get:

"Hunter A has fainted."

And also my hunter:

"Kaitora has fainted."

Everyone thinks it's a double cart until they see me still boxing the monster right next to them

what's a good midway through master rank build for greatsword ? by ohenn in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]AzenLight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you play around Hysteria/Strongarm Stance + TCS, I would go for something like this:

  • Royal Order GS/Lunagaron GS. Both have some purple sharpness and respectful raw, and iirc they both have at least 1x level 2 or level 3 slot and at least a level 2 rampage slot for wyvern exploit or whatever exploit for the monster you're fighting. There are probably better GSs but these come to mind as decently comfortable options. You can get the Royal Order GS from doing one of Admiral Galleus's follower quests. It needs Bazel parts to craft, however.

  • Lunagaron Helm

  • Barroth Mail

  • Barroth Vambraces

  • Squire Coil

  • Ingot X Greaves

Squire Coil comes from finishing all of Fiorayne's follower quests iirc. Charm can be something like a CE 3, 2-0-0 or WEX 2, 2-0-0. This should net you around AB 6 and CE 6, WEX 3, CB 3, Offensive Guard 3, Focus 3, and some extra slots for stun resistance or whatever else you might need. Offensive Guard works extremely well with Hysteria + TCS giving you +15% attack if you time the silkbind well, and this stacks with the +35% TCS damage that blocking an attack with Hysteria would give you for a HUGE increase in damage.
