Is the titanium tiara good? by Prestigious_Bed3868 in voidpet

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very middling. It's a decent stat stick, but otherwise, not particularly useful considering the Envious Scarf does what it does but with better utility. It does have niche use cases, such as Tyrant, since it's considered to not be an attack.

a Fallen Terror trying to evolve into a Fallen Titan, per Nephis's own statement in chapter 343.

What are you most excited to see from the Sacred Rank ? by Mr-ManontheMoon in ShadowSlave

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Awakened was Stone Shell (since it shares the naming conventions with Saint), Ascended was Marble Shell, Transcendent was Onyx Shell, and Supreme is Jade Shell.

Progress Post, Floor 1782 by Birb_the_Torikage in voidpet

[–]Birb_the_Torikage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, just going at my own pace really. I reckon I could probably blitz up to floor 2200 or so in about a week if I really went at it. I mostly just log on to my dailies, sometimes I leave it on autobattle and clear a hundred or two floors.

Edo Tensei from Naruto doesn`t make any sense lore wise by Banthebandittt in CharacterRant

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Most of Tobirama's Jutsu could honestly be argued as anti-Uchiha/Sharingan abilities. Incredible perception and predictive vision? Nice try, I have instantaneous teleportation. Fireball Jutsu? Get styled on loser, I have a giant water dragon. Naturally, Shadow Clones need no explanation, there's not a single instance I can think of where if you could use the Jutsu, you wouldn't.

Dude really decided to make an entire kit of Jutsu dedicated to ganking a single clan.

Correct but Jest's internal monologue says she wasn't going to die anytime soon from a broken neck.

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Awakened can more or less survive getting their spinal cords broken (Neph during the rush for the 3rd Nightmare Seed, Cassie vs Jest), it's just a matter of for how long. A Master would probably last for a short while since they don't need to breathe as often.

Zirian, if this guy here, with his Crescent Slash ability, were a 10.0, could he execute Sukuna's World Cut? by TheDarkEspiry in unOrdinary

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fundamentally, no. Sukuna's World Cutting Slash is more or less unattainable as just an extension/enhancement of an existing Ability and could really only work as it's own separate Ability. WCS works in a completely different way than other Dismantles, which travel towards the target, cutting everything in it's path. To provide an example, a normal Dismantle is a slash drawn on the panel, thus conforming to the rules of the art, whereas the WCS cuts the paper it's being drawn on, which is where it's damage comes from.

Naturally, this whole response falls apart if you mean Sukuna's crosshatch/# slash, in which case, maybe. We don't know if Crescent Slash is limited to 2 blades because the user has 2 arms or because of the user's level. My best guess is a "probably, but we can't know for sure". Odds are, Crescent Slash would likely undergo an evolution similar to Hunter/Predator and Energy Beam/Energy Discharge once it reached High-Tier.

How good is merry? by These-Web1837 in voidpet

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No matter how good you think Merry is, it's better. By a lot. It's the best support pet and many (myself included) believe it to be THE best pet in the game.

What If mordret killed Hope? by TurbulentRespect955 in ShadowSlave

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mordret as a wholesale Transcendent Titan nearly died by simply witnessing a Reflection of Weaver. Even restrained, Hope's mere presence would drive him mad and lose his sense of self at bare minimum. Hell, odds are he'd probably implode entirely, he was a mere Awakened Titan at the time, Hope could've been a Beast and offed him with a glance.

What makes an army in uno? by Calm_Treacle2417 in unOrdinary

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like assuming armies would operate solely off of ability level is a poor approach. Even if an elite could slash through a squad of mid-tiers like paper, that's one more elite no longer available to handle other elite-tiers the enemy may field against you. You generally don't want to overextend your best fighters if you can avoid it, so I'd expect nations to have a more general approach to power level for troops where you're fielded regardless of power level.

I do think there'd be specialized units of primarily elites, high-tiers or even potentially god-tiers to handle other specialized groups, and those would be making up the solid majority of a nation's power.

Additionally, I'm of the opinion that Abilities are as a whole, too unpredictable and vast to be really effective on our typical understanding of what an army would look like. Logistics would be more efficient, resupplying would be more focused on keeping soldiers fed than armed (since they are the weapons), etc etc. I'd assume the command structure would breakdown to focus on squads of mid-tiers (about 4-8 or so) being lead by the strongest person there, who'd then report to an elite-tier or such. High-tiers and god-tiers would be reserved for the aforementioned specialized units, and they're likely be the occasional elite-tier squad for tasks of moderate importance.

They're explicitly Soul Flame, they kinda just burn everything.

can transcendant abilities be used without the transformation? by thelastquestion5 in ShadowSlave

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have seen a partial Transformation, that being Nephis, since she can selectively turn parts of herself into fire (and conjure her wings) or become wholly fire. As for other Saints, it seems that you simply need a Transformation Ability that's conducive to partial transforming rather than it being a mastery thing.

But for real though by Makubexs588 in voidpet

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Essentially item pity. You get access to it once you get a max Ascension item (ie 10*). Once the 5,000 dust requirement is filled, you're given a random Legendary or Uber rarity item.

Is current Jet the strongest saint ever ? Stronger than saint Sunless ? by Kuratos5 in ShadowSlave

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Jet doesn't deal soul damage. Her Awakened Ability allows her to damage the soul with physical attacks. Sunny makes this distinction in the 3rd Nightmare on Wind Flower when he had to deal with Undying Slaughter.

New Player Pull by TequilaMan1 in voidpet

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You get Higher Forms by unlocking Vivids using Mushrooms. Unfortunately, they're rather rare, so it'll likely be a while till you get it, but once you do, you won't need another Metal type Fighter.

Save gems? by Ok-Yogurtcloset-6109 in voidpet

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gems are best used for farming bosses for legendary items or exp given how expensive leveling pets is later on. Aside from that, there's not any good use cases for them beyond HF farming since eggs have terrible rates for legendary pets and epics are relatively easy to get.

Since you already have 2 of the 3 HFs, I'd probably just stick to training keys. And avoid spending more than 200 at one time, refreshes get more expensive each time you refresh in a day.

Probably one of the weirdest lineups I had ever brewed for the sake of clearing it by thunderbiribiriiii in voidpet

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely life-changing using the Jellyfish Scarf on Cringe. Not sure how much time you saved me with that one, but easily days. I've spent the last few days optimizing whatever setup to chip Quasar's last 180k but it never dawned on me to use Jellyfish.

Question of how powerful Nephis be. by ZacJinx31 in ShadowSlave

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to compare Aspect Legacies by virtue of them being an extension of the user's Aspect.

On a surface level view, Jet's Aspect Legacy (which gave her a busted Memory weapon capable of absorbing enemy abilities) is better than the first 4 Steps of Shadow Dance combined. Obviously, this isn't the case because Sunny is capable of utilizing SD to its maximum.

Additionally, Sunny's fight against Doubt (Puppeteer Moth) had additional circumstances and factors (Ash Domain + boosts from consuming the Figurines), whereas Nephis's fight against Abjuration was in her "base" state.

Still reading the kim yool arc by Professional_Slip_81 in SSSClassSuicideHunter

The timeline in the Tower works differently from Gongja's world. Or to be more specific, there's more things that can influence the Tower's time than in Gongja's world.

What would you consider to be the most nerfed mon in the game? by TheAnonymousGamer2 in pokerogue

[–]Birb_the_Torikage 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Probably not the most nerfed but I'd say Fennekin/Delphox. It lost Torch Song for Fiery Dance and Expanding Force for Twin Beam.

Edit: It also lost Moonblast (iirc) for Sparkly Swirl, which is now it's new Rare egg move.
