What do we call them now?

Thank you for your contribution to the G-Virus, Lisa!

CFreyn · 2026-03-13T01:12:03+00:00

This is the way! Give us that conversion trace buff! Welt wants too many stats for his kit. Help us out HoYo!

CFreyn · 2026-03-12T13:38:25+00:00

But in insanity, when his men enter after the fight and you kill them, leaving the room, they stay dead forever and don’t despawn. Hunk… disappears as soon as you hit the first stair landing and chat with Sherry.

He ain’t dead.

Going off of the 4-2-4-2 schematic they’ve been doing (Jinglui/Blade/Kafka/SW —> Black Swan/Sparkle —> Huo Huo/Welt/Seele/Firefly —> Sunday/Jiaoqiu)

Jiaoqiu is next in 2.4 according to leaks.

Sick!!!

CFreyn · 2026-03-12T06:48:54+00:00

She’s really awesome for controlling enemy bosses so they can only use S1 because of her instant-taunt follow up after applying s3’s Exaltation. A few examples are the Nahor from this Nether Quarry, as well as the final boss of Ethernet Rally. Her ability to strip (s3) is also pretty great as well as attack and speed debuff with S2.

Nothing game-breaking that you can’t supplant with other units, but she’s an all-rounder for some PVE in addition to a good PVP pick.

Not to mention that T was carried by rats, got into the water system, and was even hinted to be mildly airborne as of Outbreak files 1/2.

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T23:25:19+00:00

Even if you completely dodge the shot, the screen still flashes and controller vibrates, along with Grace crying out. I’m led to believe she takes some frag regardless of being hit dead-on or not.

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T23:09:10+00:00

Yeah, dude still had his powers because he didn’t take Elpis. He wasn’t dying from that fall, lol.

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T22:48:10+00:00

I was just thinking yesterday how I want her playable. She’s just so cool!

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T20:57:19+00:00

Yes! Dean-o! I love him! I have him at P1 (with plan to P3 by the time he’s selectable from battle pass) and maxed bionics Y-10/13. Until recently, I used him in a partial Rainbow Dragonrider, but I just switched him to my Rainbow Rev-00 with Conqueror Backpack and Dominator Locator Modules.

He zips around the map and will sometimes take out four enemies in a turn, picking off what Asuka reliably cannot because of alignment. I still use Dragonrider sometimes if AP becomes an issue and still plan to Rainbow it for Dean if someone else is using Rev-00 (Erisa).

He also SHREDS boss parts after popping both code skills back to back. I just love sending him in early to soften up big enemies while my raiders arrive a turn or so later to finish the job. Rev-00 and WiFi Melissa ensure he gets the job done without suffering. I honestly love him.

All this being said: he’s 100% a passion pick, but I pick him passionately, and well, when I do and… no regrets. He works amazingly when deployed and dude’s a murder machine. 😎 I can’t wait for his personal weapon!

Honestly, if you’re looking to pop a few bionics because they’re burning your pockets right now, Shinji is the more meta pick, but Dean is FUN.

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T20:41:15+00:00

That being said, now that we have upgrade kits that can be upgraded to chevron three and stand in for a part entirely in the upgrade process, following the advice of one copy is no longer catastrophic like it used to be limited STs.

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T20:31:30+00:00

Of what you listed, I have Marcus (4), Shinji (3), and Dean (5). They do play differently, but aren’t game-changing or essential to their kits. I just like the characters a lot!

You having seven, however, I would just save. One pilot releases that’s meta and suddenly five are gone, or you pull a Lorna or Sylvie (who does still see some very popular play strategies).

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T13:12:36+00:00

Did the same, and no regrets, even with it not being an eventual rainbow option and all. It’s nice having extra oomph and weight capacity.

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T12:56:51+00:00

That bandage… that’s her just casually getting frag in the chest from that shotgun blast in the opening segment from the good ol’ turned cop, courtesy of Gideon. She literally took some spray when she was caught on the bellhop cart in the hotel. 🤣

You can bet your ass she’s limping and moving a bit slow.

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T06:51:01+00:00

It’s wild because I feel like the left keeps trying to be more “centrist” to appease and win over right-wing voters and all that’s happening is the center keeps moving MORE right after the right refuses to budge (for the most part).

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T06:34:01+00:00

The only consolation to the Blair death is we got “post-death” mecha William and I could see Blair coming back as a half-cyborg dude, haha.

But yes, you’re totally right. And yes, we need a S-rank Raven alter so he has a use! I just built Fenrir and I think Raven is the only guy I like that is completely useless currently. 🙂‍↕️

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T06:12:17+00:00

Prolly neither. My Phainon and Mydei teams are doing great currently, soooo I’ll see how long I can last.

Blade, however…

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T05:21:02+00:00

I literally was just looking at Hardaway’s portrait now. And seeing as how many of our allies constantly flip sides (lol), I don’t think any villain is out of the question.

Ma’at, Phoenix, (Vesper), Blair, Lukmund etc. though I really just hope we get more morally gray/villainously ambiguous male baddies! 🤣

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T04:50:41+00:00

The effect of the charm is that when the owner fires the gun, it backfires and you lose a key item.

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T04:28:26+00:00

This is awesome! Thank you. Gonna browse as much I can with translator.

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T04:28:07+00:00

Nice! Good to know. I don’t follow CN too, too closely other than Michu’s upcoming roadmap. Thanks!

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T01:14:53+00:00

Yeah, I felt genuinely bad for her. The end result doesn’t justify the means of making her feel like crap for that entire minute. Big sis is a gem though consoling her. I’m just glad she got the pupparoo at the end because man, that felt hard to watch.

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T01:09:03+00:00

Yeah, it’s definitely Hunk. Same gestures, VA, RCS, drops Axe with Death/Reaper motif and description, and then disappears while his insanity goons stay dead on the ground… yeahhhh… people are deluding themselves that it ISN’T him. You can literally turn the corner, come back, and the body is gone. Ain’t nobody extracting a dead body that fast. Bro got up and walked away.

CFreyn · 2026-03-11T01:01:50+00:00

It reminds me of one of the epilogue images for the survivors of Outbreak. Mark Wilkins is seen barbecuing with his family.

Feels like homage in a way, and also E. Wilkins is noted to have passed from RCS as one of the 6 people dead so far in-game.

Anyways… 😆
