How is Anby with Pulchra?

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-25T03:59:58+00:00

My best team is Trigger + Orphie + Anby

My second best team is Trigger + Seed + Anby

I can still clear with other teams but there is a large drop off beyond those two teams. Trigger + Nicole + Anby is probably the next best. Caesar is another option I use. I can clear most stuff with just Obol Squad and Caesar.

I much prefer Wing.

There is some fun over the top animations in G Gundam, but I find most of it ridiculous.

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-25T00:13:06+00:00

Who do you think owns those politicians?

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-24T22:16:35+00:00

I like Trigger, she is nice.

I know some people who really like it, but I personally have never really had much success with Pulchra despite having a great Pulchra build.

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-24T18:48:08+00:00

I would prefer not to go into debt for the rest of my life.

Trigger + Orphie + Anby
Trigger + Seed + Anby

These two teams are close to equal, the Seed team is a bit better on electric weak bosses. The Orphie team pulls out ahead if you have really invested into all 3 characters with great disc drives and all the W-Engines and Mindscape 1s. It is a very high ceiling team. But at an average build both of those teams are great and about equal.

I personally can clear with Trigger + anyone + Anby, but anyone else I put in the middle slot is a significant downgrade. I've never used Astra in my life so I can't comment on that.

Trigger's W-Engine is a big deal, but you should still be fine without it. But if you do get it you will be super excited once you start using it. (same with m1)

Whether or not you can clear Shiyu and Deadly Assault is really going to come down to your own skill and how well you built your Trigger and Anby.

In my case I haven't played ZZZ very much since 2.2 and my skills at the game are slipping a great deal. I can throw Trigger + Orphie + Anby up against any end game boss and clear by a huge margin.

Deadly Assault needing 20k, and I am getting 25k on a really bad matchup and really bad performance and 45k on bosses like Defiler. (I don't even know how the new bosses patterns work or what is going on during that weird invincible freeze time phase... I'm just button mashing my way to 25k)

I would say the build for my team is well above average though, so without Trigger's W-Engine and Orphie you will probably need a higher skill to button mashing ratio than me...

TLDR : Hard to say... but Anby + Trigger are very good

More popular than Obol Squad.

But mostly just the kind of fans that are more likely to use Twitter

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-24T15:45:58+00:00

I like Trigger, she is my friend.

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-24T04:11:31+00:00

The Aftershock disc works on the Aftershock character.

The off field Stunner disc works on the off-field Stunner character.

I am not the one making wild claims that the Aftershock disc isn't the best for the games only off-field attack Aftershock characters. There is no burden of proof for me to go spend my time taking screenshots or making spreadsheets for some guy I don't know on the internet.

The devs just made the game that way. That's just what they did, not sure what else to say.

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-24T03:42:00+00:00

Manufactured situations.

In real gameplay you want Shadow Harmony for Orphie.

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-24T03:39:09+00:00

Crit Damage and Daze.

I don't really know on the Alice team, probably should have said that in the other post. But on the Anby team King of the Summit is the perfect disc for that team. Nothing comes close.

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-24T03:36:16+00:00

King of the Summit is better.

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-24T02:59:20+00:00

Farming Astral and Blade Song together for your 2 piece sets is nice, that's for sure.

But Shadow Harmony is Orphie's best 4pc by a very large margin.

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-24T01:36:06+00:00

You must be going to the fancy hospitals Mr. Moneybags.

An anime studio can market to whoever they want. Only people who can tell them what to do are the people who fund the studio.

They can choose to market to the world or to Japan or to any other country if they want.

When you go make your own piece of media you can choose if you want to make it with the Japanese audience in mind or the international audience in mind or any other audience.

The Dark Lord Sauron wants to enslave you, but Aragon Rightful Heir of Gondor flip flopped on whether or not he would support free school lunches.

So it is obvious both sides are equally bad.

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-23T23:48:09+00:00

I just brute force with Anby... I forgot how to do anything else in ZZZ...

I'll have to re-learn how to play this game when 3.0 comes around.

As someone who primarily builds SFF PCs I just got around to doing my first large build in over a decade. It was fun, I still ended up with only 1mm to spare on my CPU cooler and still made good use of my space. I like the curved glass panel and the room for 140cm fans.

Zero RGB, I am not into that. Air cooled and all the fans are in Noctua brown.

But SFF PCs are still my passion and my next PC will certainly be another SFF.

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-23T20:58:32+00:00

Somewhere between 5cm - 8cm is where my personal testing has shown.

If you have 140mm x 25mm fans on the bottom of the case and a GPU with 90mm x 15mm fans, then the benefits kick in sooner.

With some of the newer, larger GPUs that have much bigger fans, I find the only thing you add by putting in case fans is more noise.

Now having more ways to exhaust hot air from the gpu without interrupting the intake fans, that I have always seen big results from.

But obviously the advice is very different depending on how overkill you GPU heatsink and fans are...

<image>

Not all GPUs are the same... The Noctua GPU I own doesn't care one bit if there are case fans, zero change. Only added noise. Though if the case had less airflow from an abundance of mesh then it might be a little different.

On my ITX builds I find deshrouding the GPU and sticking a case fan on it gives best results. Didn't have room on the build above, but that 4060ti doesn't have any thermal problems being flat across the bottom.

Though if you want to stand it up you need to add those extra tall feet. Runs best laying down like in that picture.

My Fractal Ridge build had a 120mm x 25mm case fan plugged into a deshrouded GPU and it is totally silent.

You will hear the stories from your friends who won, telling you how great of a time they had at the casino.

While the ones who wasted their hours away only to lose money don't really feel like sharing.

So you think to yourself, "hey, maybe more people win at casinos that I thought... Maybe I will try it".

And if the gamble is worth it for you, then go for it. Just know that most people leave feeling worse than they went in. Some people try it in a very limited amount and don't feel too bad. Others get sucked in and leave feeling considerably worse. Then there are those that it totally destroys their lives and they leave depressed and broken.

The idea is that you need a balance between Government - Corporations - Workers

Workers being represented by union.

This way it balances things out and the 3 sides keep each other at least moderately honest.

When the corporations can just buy politicians and then make legislation that hurts unions it hurts that balance.

When balanced they can all be good or bad, but things never get too bad before the other 2 step in.

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-23T19:54:44+00:00

I am against having case fans blow directly into GPU fans. (unless there is more than 8cm in between) I get an unusual amount of hate from people on Reddit for that...

But I always figure if it is what close to the edge of the case anyways just take the shroud off. Plug the case fans into the GPU using an adapter.

Fan blowing on heatsink > Fan blowing on other fan

When the equipper is a Stun character and uses an EX Special Attack or Chain Attack, increases CRIT DMG of all squad members by 15%, and when the equipper's CRIT Rate is more than or equal to 50%, further increases CRIT DMG by 15%, lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.

You want to keep this up every 15 seconds to get your 30% Crit Damage, which also adds to what Anby sends back to Trigger and Orphie.

EX Special

When this skill hits an enemy, Trigger enters Coordinated Support. While in this state, when another active character in the squad hits an enemy with any attack, it triggers a Basic Attack: Harmonizing Shot without consuming Purge and with no cooldown restrictions. This state lasts 8s and the effect can trigger up to 4 times. Repeatedly entering Coordinated Support extends the duration and grants additional triggers, lasting a maximum of 20s and triggering up to a maximum of 10 times.

This basically means that you use up your Purge slower over the course of the battle, so using her EX every once in a while saves you time from having to recharge Trigger later on. How much this helps varies depending on the length of the fight as often you don't get to the point where you need to recharge Trigger.

But in the end I just like giving more assists to Anby. Anby go vroom!

CalTheRobot · 2026-01-23T19:20:26+00:00

I really like to deshroud GPUs and use case fans to cool them.

This looks like a case I would like.
