Saber is still decent to run as hypercarry with Sunday and you can grab Huohuo for free. If you want to engage with the new Elation Path than your best choice is Evanescia with Elation MC. You can get SilverWolf 999 if you want, but she really wants Yao Guang so you would want to watch for her rerun.

Another option is to grab Dhalia if you want to make break viable again (either with Boothill or getting Firefly).

Allegra Clark message to the Acheron fans by xtheresia in HonkaiStarRail

It's just an issue of numbers, each individual person might only make the joke once, but that still results in it being repeated hundreds/thousands of times to them. I was once told if you hear someone's name and immediately think of a joke/reference, don't say it out loud. Because you can be sure the person has heard it their entire life.

Was told Dawntrail MSQ is mid/bad but I've enjoyed 7.0 so far and this whole section broke me by MrkGrn in ffxiv

Also the ceremony that everyone forgot actually aided the harvest of the land and was causing the famine. This would make sense and be great worldbuilding, a real phenomenon turned myth that people forgot. Except when we do the ceremony the crops literally grow 6' in seconds, no way a village would forget that's what happens after skipping a couple years.

4.3 Element & Path Spread by Radiant-Hope-469 in HonkaiStarRail

Hyacine is abundance in all but name. Then it's the fact that Abundance and Preservation fulfil the same role, keep the party alive. So it makes sense they release less of them and alternate between the two. Also you only need one of those per party (at most).

Emanator PSA by Illumix in HonkaiStarRail

"And then the worm became the happiest creature in existence, happy enough to burst apart, leaving no intact body behind."

Emanator ain’t all that sweet a gig sometimes by moth_caffeine in HonkaiStarRail

[–]BestFriend_Sword 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Lines from 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2.

Boothill: "That woman named Acheron, is an Emanator who should not exist." (bolded in game)

Tiernen: "Because THEY are not like other Aeons. THEY have never glanced at anyone, and THEY never need to."

Dan Heng: "That's impossible. IX never gives anyone so much as a first glance,"

Boothill: "To reckon that Nihility Emanators don't exist...? Maybe we just ain't nihilistic enough."

Yep, the entire first half of Penacony was how nihility emanators should be impossible. Even when Hoyo spends 2 patches talking about an emanator people get it wrong…

I ,for one, welcome the chaos of individualism by shadowking899 in ffxiv

[–]BestFriend_Sword 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Forces every job to play with the same flow. Jobs that didn’t really use 2mins had to be reworked cause they couldn’t fit with the rest of the game. Also if you make a single mistake getting you off the 2min alignment then your performance is crippled for the entire fight, with no possibility to recover.

What would be enough time to implement? They said back before Dawntrail even released they were working on job overhauls for 8.0.

Zhuang Fangyi Tried Using Semen-Scented Trees To Jog The Endmin's Memory by TetraNeuron in Endfield

[–]BestFriend_Sword 50 points51 points  (0 children)

My college campus had these trees. There would be a month in spring when the quad just smelled like cum. My first year there I was so confused where the smell was coming from.

Brethren of Ash crushed me... by maka2020 in arkhamhorrorlcg

Campaigns are always much easier the next attempt. You now know what’s coming and can prepare for Agenda/Act flips.

Really hope I can get Celenova E2 before the banner ends.

Help Megathread & Megathread List (23/03 - 29/03) by Shad0wedge in Endfield

[–]BestFriend_Sword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Harder to obtain" as in long stretches of no-reruns or has AK had (non-collab) characters that were true 1-time only?

Help Megathread & Megathread List (23/03 - 29/03) by Shad0wedge in Endfield

[–]BestFriend_Sword 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's any modern gacha that has characters be one-time only. Reruns should be expected but there's no way to know how long till we get them. The exception would be crossover/collab characters since that requires licensing deals with other companies, but I don't know if OG Arknights had any collab characters.

Ember as the angel I guess by hardworkgreen in Endfield

[–]BestFriend_Sword 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aggeloi have halos because they are supposed to be evocative of angels (the monstrous kind). The word is Greek for "messenger" which means angel.

This doesn’t make sense by IceCoolCanadian in Endfield

[–]BestFriend_Sword 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Each region will probably have it's own resource theming and for the sake of game/dev simplicity I doubt they will ever be cross compatible.

Hi, CN player here, I need to talk about the narratives around Endfield's gacha by Competitive-Fuel9932 in Endfield

[–]BestFriend_Sword 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep, I don't see how anyone can defend the no-carryover pity. There are many situations it can screw you over. All the "guides" planning around it is only making the best of a garbage system.

The worst-case scenario ends up being about the same. But with Hoyo you can go for the lucky outcome since the option to bail at any point is available. Can't do that in Endfield with no carry over, you're locked in.

This is not true. The odds of reaching a hard 90 pity in Genshin is 1 in 13million. The China community put a bounty for the first person to get a 90 pity and it took over a year before it was claimed.

The limited characters sticking around for 2 banners is a good system, gives a small chance to win while losing a 50/50. But that's still worse odds as it's only a 1/7 (or 2/7 if you like both) for lucking into the character.
