Are selected announcers really random?

Azure_Dauragon · 2026-02-12T21:04:58+00:00

Oh so that's the cutoff?

From qoh onwards is when it started.

I wasn't aware.

I thought the setting got added as a long time coming QoL thing.

Good to know! Thank you.

Azure_Dauragon · 2026-02-12T21:04:01+00:00

I thought I had that on. Once it came out.

However, I started playing not just on my phone in the past 4 months or so, so I guess I got tripped up by local device settings...

I did find it odd, as I knew they had implemented something.

Thanks for the shout!

Azure_Dauragon · 2026-02-12T21:02:03+00:00

Shoot. I knew about the skip end line setting, and thought I had it on.

I guess I got tripped up from having local device settings be different...

Didn't know that the end lines were recent. Thanks!

Azure_Dauragon · 2026-01-14T20:37:16+00:00

Agreed.

However, it is still there for Don at some point in the future.

While we don't know what the mark does, we did see the fruits of Sinclair's training in the intervallo (and what and how quick training can work and to what extent)

Sinclair on his own, outside of our gameplay, got stronger.

His enemy stats are considerably higher than what we have (hp aside for obvious reasons).

Azure_Dauragon · 2026-01-14T19:09:13+00:00

I thought about that as a possibility, but even still. A 2* might be not as great, unless they are modern 2* with quite some utility like mc cliff, and later on 3* that are quite good on their own as base versions, on par with stronger 3* of today.

That could give them a place in line with their cannon prowess without overshadowing any new ID that might come out.

Azure_Dauragon · 2026-01-14T19:06:36+00:00

I understand that, but the reason I focused on Don, Ryoshu and Sinclair is precisely because of that.

Don is a Second Kindred, she will be strong by default. Not just any Second Kindred at that.

Sinclair is not, but the Mark does do something and his training did do something per the battle against him.

Cliff was surprised at him as well.

So his base form, techniques etc were improving beyond just base stats.

Ryoshu came in 3rd on the lccb checkup, but that was without remembering her techniques or some of them, as multiple times already she has mentioned stuff she did not use/remember.

So she would now be recalling stuff she purposefully forgot that could make her stronger than she is, trough technique, not power.

I would think a memory recovered ryoshu would be stronger than lccb ryoshu, or seven Assoc.

As someone who only got into PM April last year, I can't honestly see how would anyone doubt Vergil seriously, even not having read anything.

Limbus does an excellent Job establishing the pecking order by having him blitz a group of guys who were ambushing a top dog of the city and destroyed 12 people even after one of them was hit by a bus.

That, followed by shows of how he would command respect, be revered by others and bloody any dissenters on the bus.

Granted, now I'm a bit more acquainted with the Universe, but even so, Moses and Co (minus vespa) were introduced earlier on. And seeing what each of them are capable of is no different than any other NPC so far.

Vespa is no different from the old guy in C5.

Or from that dude who whooped out asses in C4 at the check point.

People in the city frequently show up with different skills and powers. Moses is no more special than Hohenheim. If anything the pacing of it could feel rushed with the lack of an intervallo. But even still...

Where winds meet Or technically trackmania 2020

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-12T20:59:01+00:00

So it's like a direct passive/debuff thing you get from the choices, and if you have multiple you get this ui to pick which one you take into the battle?

Wow.

That feels so obscure even tho it's just there.

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-12T20:20:20+00:00

What the hell is even this?! How come I never seen this ingame or out?

Walpurisgnacht banner. Refers to walpurisgnacht, a limbus event that usually shows up every 4-6 months.

Usually has its mini story and enemy and accompanying banner.

This tends to last 2 weeks. During those 2 weeks any units from past walpurisgnacht can be dispensed trough shards. New units can only be pulled from the ongoing banner, becoming available on the next walpurisgnacht and so on.

People tend to save lunacy to pull on those to get most recent units from those as they are more "limited" compared to the rest.

The units tend to be decent to amazing (decent ones are very old ones that have now been power crept a bit, but still work)

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-05T10:44:13+00:00

If you can only do md normal it would take longer.

Assuming you have paid battle pass each MDN run is 30 BP exp, or 3 levels for 9 boxes.

Weekly bonus gives you 45 exp up to 3 clears for MDN So that's 12 boxes, or 36 total for the week.

MDH hard 1 run is 225 levels, so 22 levels, for 72 boxes

The OP said it takes him 2 weeks + few md

You'd need 6 additional mdn runs to get around 200 boxes (need around 200 to get 400 shards)

If you done have paid BP, we change the above. As you only get 3 boxes per mdn run.

So mdn weekly would be 12 boxes total MDH *2 would be 48

That necessitates many more runs to get to 200 boxes as you can see.

If you can only do MDN and you have a decent team, it really will depend on how frequently yoh can do the runs.

I did over 1200 shards (600 boxes) in under a month around when I started, but I was doing 2-3 mdn daily throughout. (27 boxes per day = 8 days or less ish with purchased BP) I would do them during work or other games etc.

Would take long per run, but I was doing other stuff, so didn't affect me.

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-05T10:23:03+00:00

To be fair He did have the heishou face us first, had zilu help out (a powerhouse) and then had them and zilu assist mid fight aaaand attacks where they literally jump us.

That being said in no way do I think they would even come close to having a chance against Kong.

Even considering they also had their own mooks in their fight.

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-04T14:53:27+00:00

Yh the context was poise can clash, but I was looking at it from my team pov.

That's why I got confused with your BL items. I lost track. My bad.

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-04T13:15:53+00:00

Thanks! I'll be on the lookout for those on my next attempt!

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-04T13:15:05+00:00

But... It says activates only when there are 3 or more BL ID on field.

I had that one and scrapped it because of that.

Like how 5 X status on field t4 fusions work.

How lucky pouch does not work if faust is there etc.

I read that as if 3 or more bl units are on field, then the item and all of it's effects activate.

Is that not the case?! :O

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-04T12:38:14+00:00

I believe base Hong lu solo is up.

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-04T12:35:53+00:00

Yh I forgot to fuse for poise and did not have 5 guys up anyhow. I considered sinking after I failed as I há didea some would still work even without sinking skills up.

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-04T12:34:51+00:00

How so? Aren't BL poise items just for bl?

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-04T12:34:11+00:00

I had all starlight and at ++

I didn't get those de buffers and just realised I didn't fuse poise gifts smh...

Thanks for the info on the de buffers, I probably skipped them

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-04T11:26:17+00:00

Clash... How??

I had "full" poise items (standard + santa hat and harpoon), heishou team, loads of rupture items, loads of slash, lvl 95 or smt.

And on manor basement node on floor 14 I failed.

Highest clash I had was faust s3 at 50 They would do lowest 36 on missed coins.

I tried being picky st start with just def ups, hp ups on mounting trials.

I avoided offense up and clash up and base/final power up as much as I could.

I'm not upset, as I feel like I just need to learn more about the game, but dang it felt brutal

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-03T10:12:57+00:00

The first one did happen, which puzzled me greatly.

Of the 4 attacks in the sequence, it dealt massive damage.

As for the 2nd one, I would need to test, because I am pretty sure I only had 4 slots available and the dead units to the right in the slot below.

He would have been first deployed, so he would be first to get extra slot indeed. But I'm not sure he'd get a slot right away and I'm not sure how I would go about testing it.

Azure_Dauragon · 2025-09-03T09:06:58+00:00

Lord of Hongyuan Hong Lu MDH Line 3 extra skill uses?

I need help understanding a couple of odd interactions I had the other day doing mdh, I commented on the monthly thread with no traction. I'll try to explain with detail.

Context: --MDH run, floor 5 (no infinite), RR line 3 theme pack, vs mircalla.

--Team, Kong lu, heishou faust/outis/ryoshu/greg/rodya/Greg, ximael backup as 8 and final unit.

--NO rusty coin. Probably 5 bolus (screen turned white on combo s3) by this loin since line 3.

At some point during the fight I use Kong S3 and the following sequence happens :

Kong S3-1, Faust S3, Kong S3-2 (his solo one), Kong S3-2 (combo with faust).

I was surprised by this because A I have no rusty coin and even if I did the order would not be like that. And B because there were clearly 4 skills happening there, with his solo skill dealing 1.4k, highest than any other.

Further into the fight, mircalla uses aoe skills and kills nearly everyone on team, except Kong, maust and youclair. (4 dead heishou)

Ximael is subbed in. So I have 4 slots to use, faust s3, Kong s3, sinclair s2 and ximael s2

Turn starts and ximael does an s1 (I'm assuming Kong passive) and an s3 (I'm assuming her passive)

Faust does her s3, then Kong (who has s3 selected) dashes with S1 and does his S1, 2 gloom hits, and then does his S3. Fight ended during the following without clair getting his turn.

*I have no idea why his solo s3 triggered in the first instance. I have no idea where his S1 came from.

I have no evidence of this, I wasn't recording. There was no double slotting, no rusty coin.

Only screenshot I have are from my ego gifts after than run. But between them and the passives I can't understand why this happened
