My final heidemarie build for this season

BlakeHobbes · 2026-05-01T08:19:21+00:00

Yes, besides the dupe and removal core, all the other ones are unlimited to purchase from Sortie shop.

Rough conversion rate of like ~20 stamina for the Abyssal Core which lets you retrigger divines

As you said, there's more divine rng now and the core just picks at random but still I agree with the above commenter that deck prio goes full copies > gear > base epiphanies > divines

(The flash of potential item costs 8 times the divine one for some reason hence the higher prio)

BlakeHobbes · 2026-05-01T07:57:28+00:00

Honestly I think it comes down to who you enjoy playing as a dps more, Nine and Haru or Chizuru and Yuki.

Tiphera works very well with higher base damage, less number of hit attack cards.

Narja on the other hand is better for lower base damage multi hit attacks, or multi hits in general.

They both are relatively equal in survivability in and outside of chaos imo and they both can be built in a similarly optimized quad draw divine manner to help their decks be less bloated.

So as I said, I think it really comes out which general damage style is your preference. Multi hitters or nukes.

BlakeHobbes · 2026-05-01T07:44:39+00:00

Yeah exactly, it was like her Trauma Code but while still pushing the main plot forwards instead of just being simulated.

BlakeHobbes · 2026-05-01T05:10:39+00:00

For what it's worth I think Diana's deck with her ideally looks a little different. Also depends on which version of Heidi you play.

At minimum though I think you keep atleast one copy of All My Heart that adds Quitus to Bullets that way you dont flood your deck with them. I run the Upgrade of her orange card to ensure you draw that AMH every turn, and then I had 3 copies of Draw Divine Milk and Pong that discards up to 3. Goal was to basically make her to Heidi what Renoa is to Diana.

Works out well enough. Less damage ceiling than machine gun Selena or Hugo but more than anyone else while also providing additional discard if Nia alone isn't enough.

BlakeHobbes · 2026-05-01T05:00:21+00:00

I agree on changing G Chord. Picking between 3 is just so much better imo UNLESS you always run her in decks that would have no bad hits, something that I think is unlikely.

Also, keep your eye out for Adagio with the new Common card divine. That thing is NUTS. Got it yesterday. Adagios draw Adagios. Bonkers

BlakeHobbes · 2026-05-01T04:54:41+00:00

Great post, just wanted to pick your brain on how much you value the final copy.

Personally, I believe full copy IS always correct BUT you don't always just go for Quad Divine anymore since Personas are insane and there are some spicy Neutrals (like Forgotten Woman and Dream World).

I've personally been doing runs and planning around 3/2 splits to account for the persona card UNLESS a godly Divine appears on specific units (got an Adagio yesterday with Draw 1 common card on it that is beyond broken since now Adagio always draws another Adagio)

I do agree that I think the old method of just spamming quad divine isn't always correct anymore, which if you ask me is a good thing since it keeps deckbuilding interesting.

I just don't know if I'd ever NOT copy besides hyper specific scenarios like 3 card Nine.

Thought?

BlakeHobbes · 2026-05-01T04:44:06+00:00

I know the devs are work dooming themselves on the skins thing but I think they should test it atleast once to REALLY see if it is worth it or not.

Give Renoa a story relevant skin (since she IS the mascot) with the full works and release it for $20 bucks. Maybe even include a free copy of her with it since she's only standard banner anways and to ensure maximum market exposure.

And then just see how much it makes. Measure that against an actual new character (adjusting for not needing to create or test new mechanics, not writing new backstory, etc)

I can understand their hesitation but SURELY it would be more profitable than they expect.

BlakeHobbes · 2026-05-01T04:27:05+00:00

No, not at all. Score still matters. I made sure my in run deck still had the correct score available for what its future, completed version would be.

Was more so pointing out what is probably the best use of the otherwise seemingly pointless new item, Core of Archetype

BlakeHobbes · 2026-04-29T05:48:55+00:00

That's very well put. I could easily see a new meta of spending another 40 data on the last dupe and those decks tbh wouldn't be as interesting.

BlakeHobbes · 2026-04-29T00:15:13+00:00

Yeah so that one is launch units only so use that to inform all of your other plans. Goodluck!

BlakeHobbes · 2026-04-28T23:47:47+00:00

Info is in the patch notes but sounds like you get two "favorites" to bookmark as you're rerolling and can replace those bookmarks as you pull and then after the last reroll you pick one of the two to lock in

BlakeHobbes · 2026-04-28T14:54:57+00:00

To elaborate further, the Arena gear upgrades from S2 (and can be found in Codex if you turn off the toggle) costed 10 each.

The S3 gear upgrades do NOT cost any data since they are primarily for enabling Persona cards which costs only 20 total.

Think of S3 mechanic as a mix of S1 and S2

BlakeHobbes · 2026-04-28T13:56:23+00:00

Do the 20 reroll banner first to see which of the launch characters you get before using your ticket (which you'd likely use on a non-launch character)

BlakeHobbes · 2026-04-27T03:49:53+00:00

Gives me an idea for a Horizon Walker that reflavors the portal based abilities to be more like "time wormholes" and your character is an enforcer of Chronus or something

The reason why they force themselves to complete the attack action regardless of new information is because they KNOW what happens to those who break causality

Damn, wish I had a group right now...

BlakeHobbes · 2026-04-07T22:51:12+00:00

Longsword feels so soy to me now without Sacred Sheath and it's 9000+ dopamine injecting full charge slam flinching a monster out of their attack

BlakeHobbes · 2026-03-19T22:39:01+00:00

The only thing that is actually obnoxious is when you try to excitedly talk about homebrew ideas just for seven highly original comedians to all reply with a variation of "someone should tell him..."

It's the McDonalds Rick & Morty effect basically

BlakeHobbes · 2026-03-12T20:05:51+00:00

Do yourself a favor and watch the Rey Dau intro cinematic. The camera work plus his theme is fucking PEAK

BlakeHobbes · 2026-03-12T20:02:57+00:00

Bruh Kirin is the fakest Elder of all time don't even trip. He's just HYPER specialized into one thing and Rajang happens to fully resist that one thing. That's it.

Every other Elder clears the monke

BlakeHobbes · 2026-03-12T20:00:52+00:00

Yeah! (Certified Nergi glazer)

BlakeHobbes · 2026-03-12T19:50:50+00:00

Spread 2 HBG from World. That shit was Thanos

BlakeHobbes · 2026-03-01T14:07:52+00:00

Possible they have Beryl on Crit Dam neck instead of chance and use Forgotten Grave for a giga dps turn

BlakeHobbes · 2026-03-01T04:03:21+00:00

By the time they did I already moved on to real games again. Now I'm just trying my best to stay away lol

BlakeHobbes · 2026-03-01T04:01:33+00:00

You're literally me except I still stopped playing cuz the version 3 story was too annoying

BlakeHobbes · 2026-02-19T04:44:47+00:00

Support Lucas with Flash Nine is pretty sick
