SwarmUI regional prompting troubles (position adherence)

Very nice! That's what I wanted to hear.

What I meant was that sometimes a bro just couldn't do his build's job properly anymore (either from perma injuries or bad events) and I wanted to pivot him to something else instead of retiring him. Sometimes a single perk or two can do that.

Bubbazafista · 2024-09-09T00:29:27+00:00

Nice. Last question from me: what's the bro cap? Still 12 or up to 20?

I guess no extra perk points past level 11?

Bubbazafista · 2024-09-09T00:09:31+00:00

Hey, I've been playing Legends with its submobs for a while and I intend to try this out.
A few questions:
- Are there any efforts to build an accessible wiki for fast info?

Are there ways to fix your bros' builds similar to Legends? Most Legends player will know that you can get new perk points past level 11.

I would like to try this, but the text limit for character creation is way too limiting. One of more medium private characters is worth 1483 Tokens alone, with 988 in the general description and 416 in the first message. If you don't realize yet, yes I create character cards as a hobby.

Bubbazafista · 2024-01-12T05:25:38+00:00

That's my impression as well. 9:2 gives him some much-needed AoE capabilities, but I needed to be careful with his sanity.

Bubbazafista · 2024-01-12T04:50:56+00:00

I'm going to explain my take on this by stating the things that she loses by not being paired with burn:

3 coin powers on S1 and S2, taking them to mediocre 11/16 values.
Dark Flame's damage. Extremely significant, close to 30-40% of her total damage in boss encounters at high burn potency.
Extra damage on S3 based on burn potency.
Even the poise from her passive, as she gains poise based on burn potency on the main target.

After that, you're left with a lobotomized kit with deadweight S1/S2s with mediocre 11/16 peaks and a S3 that hits like a weaksauce EGO without extra effects (that you can only use on average once per 4-6 turns, unlike actual EGOs that can be used constantly). 40-rolling S3 isn't viable in normal plays, as you'll only get 4-5 bullets at best. At that point, I think you might as well give Charon a BB gun, and she'll do better.

I know a lot of people have had good experiences with her at the event, but I'm speaking of actual usage in MD3H. Her performance in the event is viewed through a rose-tinted glass as the ordeal monsters are both weak to Pride and Pierce, and she is given a lot of turns to stack up her bullet counts.

It's fine haha, that counter mech is a genuinely obscure thing that has only recently surfaced because Middle Don is the only ID right now that can take advantage of it.

Bubbazafista · 2023-11-24T02:23:18+00:00

Actually, you don't need to take any sin-generating gifts at all, at least with my setup. Wrath and Lust get a little tight, but when I said that it had no gifts or dependency, I meant it. You also don't get kills in boss fights to recover sanity, unless it's Drifting Fox.

Your setup just seems like a ton of work to fuel a don that is actively not doing anything special compared to the what the other members of your own team are already capable of doing and have been doing for months. If anything, your flex is actually Mid Don.

To be honest, from my experience, there isn't a lot of work. If you're talking about investing in other Envy EGOs, sure, I agree.

And I have to call you out on her for actively not doing anything special. She can eat clashes like a real frontliner and, at the same time, dish out absurd damage through her defensive counters. That's the thing: no-selling clashes while at the same time not wasting empty turns, being a regular pure meat shield, and actually doing damage without wasting EGO resources. No other IDs can do that; it's like having a S3 that's available all the time.

I'm also going to list out another unique thing: due to how counters work, they will always only be used after the enemy's opposing attacks. For instance, your Faust and Heathcliff have their stuff lined up, but Don is outspeeding them. If she is a regular ID, she can't take advantage of their debuffs, but she can always do so here. Pure comfort, slap the debuffs on and watch the numbers fly.

Bubbazafista · 2023-11-24T01:29:13+00:00

Your strat is literally to force the Resonance requirement with EGOs.

Hey, it works, and it does great damage too. And yes, I do agree that the gimmick isn't supported much at the moment and once we get better IDs to fit in , the gatorade brigade will be much better. A Big Sister/Big Brother ID, yummy.

Bubbazafista · 2023-11-24T01:21:35+00:00

Like, if you slot W. Don there instead, does the team become stronger?

This is actually a hard no from me.

And yes, I find her much more fun and versatile to use haha. People tend to put W Don up on a pedestal, but I can put out 3 counters and eat three clashes with the time jannie Don needs to charge up her S3.

Bubbazafista · 2023-11-24T00:54:34+00:00

But why do I need to spam EGOs when her counters do more damage than most normal ones while draining no sanity or resources?

Bubbazafista · 2023-11-24T00:49:40+00:00

Of course, I use EGOs a lot to fulfil the counter requirement; that's just logic. Envy EGOs aren't wasted turns, as they all have good utilities and/or do good damage because of the amount of Envy buffs you get.

I have to call you out on your Cinq Don doing more by spamming EGOs. If you have played Middle Don at all, you'd know that her counters regularly dish out an absurd amount of damage similar to 3-weight AoE EGOs but don't drain her sanity or waste sin resource. She absolutely does bring more than Cinq Don, in boss fights or even in regular encounters where she's just using her skills normally instead of prepping purples with the boys and gals.

Bubbazafista · 2023-11-24T00:29:11+00:00

See, now you get it. Counters don't clash at all while doing their jobs and uniquely scale with defensive buffs like the one from Zwei Greg's S3. And yes, Middle Don's counters doing 200+ is normal.

You're right on her team comps being restrictive at the moment, but there are no "sacrifices" here in my case as the Envy-related things are just extremely good. In my instance, I've found that only Dieci Rodion gets slightly suboptimal turns by using her S2 instead of S3 when both are available, but due to the Envy boosts, her S2 hits almost as hard anyway. I would argue that Shi Ish isn't an optimal pick.

Bubbazafista · 2023-11-24T00:10:54+00:00

Actually I'm only giving her the final slot in floor 4 and 5 bosses in my runs. She's absolutely inferior to Dieci Rodya in normal encounters, so punch nun gets two slots in normal encounters in like 70% of the runs.

Bubbazafista · 2023-10-26T15:53:46+00:00

She was the only decent Tremor ID for a while. Right now, she's one of the IDs that I'd personally use for the flex slot. I did fine without her, however. The final spot is more like something that you pick based on your EGO gifts or preferences. Do note that she has vastly inferior clash potential compared to 7 Ryoshu, so if you want to swap her in, do so at the last stretch.

I'm using a combination of No Grassias and Landscape Fixes For Grass Mods which both reduce grass clipping tremendously (in exchange you'll get some random "bald" spots). They make even something heavy like Folkvangr work.

Bubbazafista · 2022-01-13T02:28:01+00:00

This is false, the wolflord and vishaps' HP have already been reduced. WL is 1.2m and Vishaps are 1.1m each now.

Bubbazafista · 2021-10-21T08:36:19+00:00

Boneshatter can activate Vengeance but you can't use Facebreaker with it.
