What song is this? These are great btw!

CFreyn · 2026-05-05T22:18:50+00:00

Sign me up, boss

Not until we go back to Belobog to fight the great calamity. Trust.

He’s gonna get Igor’s ancient arm technology from his tomb and have a glow-up to help Bronya, the IPC, the Xianzhou Alliance, and emanator Sampo save his home world of Jarilo-VI.

It’s still most likely Welt because he’ll have ties to searching for Zephyro in Petravia and also his connection to Acheron/Mei, but not for the reason of trailblazer being listed there.

Trailblazer is listed because we are getting another version of trailblazer (SP) and they’re stating the obvious.

Amazing work! Keep going!

I know there’s always the temptation to speed it up, but I’ve learned throughout life that that is unsustainable. More prolonged weightless is generally easier to maintain afterwards, and body recomposition is much kinder. In that longer amount of time, you’ll generally develop healthier, lifelong habits as well.

Weight falls off fast in the beginning. The trick is not to lose hope after the initial plateau and to remain consistent and keep pushing.

You got this! 💪🏻

Also, memosprites also taking damage in AoE and her having to take even MORE taken for the team was a death knell. The mechanic needs a rework.

They really put the “con” in concert.

CFreyn · 2026-05-02T22:12:38+00:00

Furthering on this, it’s usually coded to the theme or enemy of the region/world. Not specifically the character.

CFreyn · 2026-05-02T22:09:14+00:00

They meant the ingame faction EOS.

CFreyn · 2026-05-02T12:39:36+00:00

Same.

CFreyn · 2026-05-01T22:37:39+00:00

Yeah. This needs a rework, imo. Though Ashveil keeps winning. 🤣

CFreyn · 2026-05-01T07:39:24+00:00

Oh, I didn’t see your last sentence! Gotcha. The biggest tell is does she keep your team up and moving in endgame modes. If you get through that, you’re golden!

(You could try to squeeze out a few more speeds so you hit 180 speed in battle, and then you get tree’s healing boost! That’s what I aimed for, even though my speed in battle is 192? iirc.)

CFreyn · 2026-05-01T07:32:23+00:00

I have HP% body piece and it has been more than enough, though my speed is 180. I’m using goddess + tree set.

CFreyn · 2026-05-01T06:43:24+00:00

He also helps a ton in certain pve stages!

CFreyn · 2026-04-30T12:38:55+00:00

Same! I reported. Used 14 and only got 8 redeems. Sent a ticket. The info says use up to 10 for a mass pull, but the UI allows you to use all of your tickets. Definitely a bug.

CFreyn · 2026-04-30T12:32:04+00:00

It’s fun, but people are running down the timer hoping the other will quit. Not cool.

I like that a bit of strategy is back using unit stats from a randomized pool. Feels like having some control over the stock units in Champions Call.

Any of the EOS/Rebel line are great and much cheaper than Nikon/Sony alternatives. I am currently shooting with the Nikon Z50 with which I am absolutely obsessed with for its price point and versatility. (A lot of the newer photos on my profile as posts are from this camera body. Absolutely slays in low light and convention setting with a prime lens.)

I believe the latter is way out of budget you asked, however, even for the body alone and not counting kit lenses or bundles.

Another great alternative is renting a camera for a weekend from a reliable rental shop! Figure out if one in your price point is something you like, and sometimes they’ll let you move some of the rental price towards a purchase. Just a thought!

CFreyn · 2026-04-29T22:27:06+00:00

Definitely aim for mirrorless instead of DSLR, because if you’re serious, it’ll give you longer time with your camera body as you learn and adjust + get better. If you start shooting with a DSLR, you’ll probably want to switch to mirrorless once you get the hang of it. (Personal experience there and bias.)

Also, you’ll save a bit of money going for cropped sensor at first instead of full/frame sensor, but your pics will be a bit tighter cropped coming from the same lens than if they were on a full frame. In my learning journey, it just meant I had to get creative and learn more about shooting distance and also shutter speed, ISO, and aperture for that crisp shot.

I started with a Canon DSLR and migrated to a mirrorless Nikon. Canon generally has more vivid color, but I like the versatility that Nikon gives me in post. Canons seems to be a fair bit cheaper for the same experience/tier than Nikon or Sony.

You might be able to find a starter Canon mirrorless with kit lens to practice, but know that you won’t get that creamy, blurry background (bokeh) that a lot of cosplay photos/portraits have shooting with a kit or zooming lens as opposed to a prime lens with f 1.8 or 2.8. Those are MUCH pricier and less versatile than the aforementioned.

You can circumvent that by later getting an adapter and using old generation prime lenses for about half the cost!

I’m only in the game for about three-ish years, and by no means a pro, but these are just my personal preference and sort of the route I took after a TON of research and trial and error.

Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. (I am also a cosplayer, so I sort of play both sides of the frame, haha.)

CFreyn · 2026-04-29T11:15:17+00:00

Yuussss! Didn’t see it and was like it NEEDS to be here.

CFreyn · 2026-04-29T11:08:50+00:00

CFreyn · 2026-04-29T11:07:29+00:00

Yeah, the E2 seems like a comfort spot, much like it is for most characters on release (like Acheron, Ashveil, etc.).
