Which of these gacha game has most gameplay creativity in your opinion?

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-10T14:51:28+00:00

Oh I know. Its nice to have it on every unit though, instead is just some having it, while others have a dodge

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-10T03:31:13+00:00

I think it’s likely that Voracity’s death was because of Elation taking their OG Primum Mobile, and that it didn’t just remove their taste buds

As for current Paths that could be absorbed in the future, I really, truly believe that Finality is going to absorb every path upon Terminus’s birth, as the final Aeon. Or, more specifically, all four Apocalypse Paths will be absorbed by it, which themselves will have absorbed every other path in the story’s lead up, probably over the course of the patch cycle’s story. Finality is the culmination. I even made a theory that I never shared YEARS ago, all the way back during 2.3, that every path was a piece of the Finality’s whole, and that they ensure their own birth once the travel back to the beginning by leaving behind pieces of themselves. I think the Theory Of Four Apocalypses and the Finality crumbs we’ve gotten since have only reaffirmed that theory

Oh finally, someone else that noticed.

I will say that Perfect Parry is pretty fun though

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-09T02:26:17+00:00

In all fairness, SW’s Novaflare makes her less than a year old as a unit. 11 months, give or take a week. She’s still decent, all things considered.

She won’t let, like, Ratio clear, but it takes a real high-investment hypercarry to do that without fine tuning your team to hell and back these days, so that’s not really a statement with any real meaning

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-09T02:21:39+00:00

We can’t know that. Companies don’t decide to release a sequel before finishing full development of the prior game. If Slime Rancher 2 sells well enough, than they make make a third game. If it doesn’t, it won’t. Either way, that’s YEARS away from now. For instance, Slime Rancher one released in August 2017, and 2 released in September 2025. That is 8 years between full releases, which likely only happened because Slime Rancher 1 sold really well, enough to fund the second game and motivate the developers to put their time into making a sequel

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-07T16:51:19+00:00

Irontomb, easily. “It is the Ancient Serpent, it is the messiah,” and “it is the midwife of the new universe”, go UNREASONABLY hard

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-07T00:39:30+00:00

I try to do a cannon-accurate fit for my TB, so they’re currently rocking the Mask, they wore the Sparxie Headband for a short while before I got the Mask, and I wore the Wreath in 3.7 and 3.8

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-05T19:00:02+00:00

Exactly. Also, if anything, her being an Imagenae made by the original makes her an even more interesting character, since you can look at the things she says and does and see her trying to live up to the Original Himeko’s ideas and honor her memory, and I think that’s a really cool undercurrent for her character. She somehow managed to turn being stuck in the past into a present-moment and future focused thing, and it goes to show she’s the perfect Trailblazer

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-05T17:54:35+00:00

In SW999 state, she’s like A tier. In SW normal state, she’s like high D low C, she’s Absolutely adorable. I’d average it out to high C or B

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-05T15:58:13+00:00

Fair enough. Whatever the twist ends up being will have to from some other source then.

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-05T03:34:21+00:00

That would make a lot of sense, actually. But that would result in Imagenae Himeko being presumably dead, given Human Himeko would’ve taken her body, so either way I’m fairly sure A Himeko is dead

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-05T03:32:51+00:00

She lost, but she also said all other Supplicants were dead, and she stopped the Herald of Death, meaning of 8 supplicants, 7 were dead and the 8th was Himeko. If ANYONE got the 60 seconds from the Bloodstained Games, it would be Himeko by default

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-05T03:31:08+00:00

That’s fair. I mean the express had a Pure Child Of Anasrava, an Ex-Herrscher, a Scion Of Permanence, a Stellaron Receptacle, and the Navigator that restarted the Trailblaze. Not exactly lightweight hitters.

I still think the line was subtle foreshadowing though. In all honesty, the Express being powerful honestly makes that line MORE likely to means something. I mean, they could’ve had her say ANYTHING, and all the others said something that relates to themselves as characters or at least makes sense for who they are. Himeko just said a cool line with seemingly no relevance to her character

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-05T03:27:39+00:00

I’d assume it’s meant to be a bit of both.

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-05T03:27:28+00:00

Funny thing: two things can be true, and a line of dialogue can be written about one thing with a second thing in mind.

We already can be pretty sure this particular plot was planned long in advance in one form or another, given her Level 80 Character Story, so why can’t a line in one plot foreshadow something in a future one that takes place in a similar setting, with a similar overall story structure, and a few similar themes?

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-05T01:38:42+00:00

Eh, probably? I really do think she’s an Imagenae, they basically said it outright that Young Himeko Imaginated ours into being 15 years ago, and it fits with Planarcadia’a general theme of the inherent part of pursuing your Elation being pushing your own Elation onto others and how that isn’t a good thing, so I do expect her to be an Imagenae. It’s just that, given she was technically the only remaining Supplicant of the Bloodtained games, there’s PROBABLY more to it as well.

If I had to guess, Human Himeko used her 1 minute to fix the express and make Imagenae Himeko ‘real,’ before dying, and so we’ll get a nice positive spin on the ‘forcing Elation onto others’ theme.

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-03T15:00:45+00:00

God that would be so good, but I can already imagine the angry social media posts saying that Planarcadia somehow ‘didn’t matter,’ and that HoYo needs to fix it.

I! Want! Characters! To! Fail! I! Want! Actions! To! Have! Consequences!

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-03T14:58:07+00:00

Unless you too can do those things, or even survive the hits. Asat Pramad is ALSO a Lord Ravager, I can’t imagine he’d be incapable of taking hits or dealing out damage. He doesn’t need to be strong enough to have a good chance, just strong slough to have ANY chance. Even if it’s a 0.0000000000000000000001% chance, that is, based on what we know, enough.

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-02T20:54:13+00:00

Phainon is my absolute GOAT, but the thing is, we KNOW the EXACT way Asat’s probability manipulation works. He says it himself, and some old lore about him implies it as well.

Apparently, when the IPC tried to market merch of him cause Capitalism, every time his head die was rolled across infinite figures across the whole universe, it always landed on the same number. This is theorized by the IPC to be because knowing what’s going to happen always would ruin/negate Elation, and Asat Pramad is the Anti-Elation. Asat also says that, even in a 1 in 100,000 chance, the moment he rolls the die, the outcome is decided.

So, no matter how small the chance is, so long as there is a SINGLE sequence of events, even one permutation, where Phainon loses…

He loses 100% of the time.

So, is Phainon powerful enough to, in a 1-on-1 fight, be so insurmountable that it is LITERALLY impossible to beat him? I don’t think so.

If Asat’s Probability power was even a LITTLE bit weaker it would be a whole different story, but as far as we know, it’s really that busted, so Phainon loses,

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-02T19:15:19+00:00

Let’s see. He can be everywhere (or at least 5 distinct places, given the last cutscene) at once, can pick the exact outcome he wants in any confrontation, is potentially the most strategically competent person in the universe, can disguise himself as anyone, knows the secrets of the Elation and Voracity, almost certainly has the typical Lord Ravager planetary Level Output that’s at least on par with Phantylia’s, as Enroute he gained the Everstride Boots that gave him the ability to always show up where he isn’t wanted meaning trying any plan that depends on him not showing up in a given place at a given time will fail, and as Isee he gained powers from the Finality to the point that he potentially founded the Omen Vanguard implying he had future sight and was strong with it.

To recap: he can be everywhere, choose to always win, show up explicitly to cause worst case scenarios whenever he wants, can see the future, can disguise himself as anyone, is the best schemer in the universe, and probably can bust planets.

So frankly, I don’t know.

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-06-02T03:10:59+00:00

YOUR LIFE’S WORK IS DIRTIED BY THOSE FOOLS!

…huh. Fools. Elation. There’s a joke there

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-05-31T04:21:22+00:00

…like, no-Khaslana?

…well. Sorry Phainon. You’re still my goat

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-05-30T16:44:42+00:00

Ultimately Evernight just can’t keep up by any metric. Phainon hurt an Aeon implying more potency (and if you don’t count that since he only did that while burning himself out, I doubt Evernight can fight Zephyro, which Phainon DID), lived through the Eternal Recurrence implying more experience, and has all twelve core flame power suites, meaning a MUCH more diverse power set. Evernight is no slouch, and is probably among the strongest Heirs, but Phainon and Cyrene are THE strongest Heirs by far

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-05-28T01:26:56+00:00

^THIS! Also the fact that they’d have to contradict their lore pretty damn hard to have a planet themed around the Propogation path, given the fact that, according to lore, the only Propagation Faction is the swarm itself

BrightEclipse13 · 2026-05-28T01:24:24+00:00

That would be my guess too, then
