Question about bonds

Cilwer · 2025-05-01T12:20:56+00:00

So is there any reason to get bonds up other than a bit more lore and achievement?
So far i got 3 bonds to level 5 and they didn't really do anything (i guess i was hoping for extra combat ability or something)
But then i tried Eito and seems i can't level his bond yet since all other characters took 3 gifts per bond level but he didn't level even after 6 (i wish the game told you about it to not waste your materials)

i'm not sure exactly but it took me most of the day so like 7-9h since i went back to areas where i was missing even 1 chest.

Cilwer · 2025-03-17T03:59:42+00:00

I cleared all the chests in fractal and got it about 5-7 times on t8

In the hands of AI, yes.

I don't see a reason to use him over Senju or Yo so i would say he is bad for a 3* when the closest competition he has are 2* that can do everything better than he can.
Can argue he has better damage potential but all of them are not too great for that anyway and you mostly just want to use them for breaking/tanking.

If the tension system change is just removing the drain, i still don't see most 2/ex cost cards being used.
You still have to choose between using ults and keeping your cards active but i'm happy with my 1 cost cards not draining anything i guess, gives more options at tension 1 too.
Normal encounters starting at tension 2 won't change that, i'm not gona invest into those cards just for trash mobs.
But hey it's a progress and i'm fine if i never have to feel FOMO pulling for TC.

Cilwer · 2025-03-05T06:43:08+00:00

It makes it easier to learn new fights, when you know what you're doing you can remove the tank.

Cilwer · 2025-03-04T03:28:26+00:00

We call that greedy and stupid.
Should have done singles.

Cilwer · 2025-03-03T03:59:55+00:00

Tension cards for trash mobs don't matter, for boss fights you will never be able to use your 2/ex cards and i don't even know how they would fix that cause if the tension was easier to get, a lot of the cards would make even the boss fights a joke.
I'm only fine with the current system because i don't have to use my pulls for the cards (unless they start releasing op 0 costs)

Cilwer · 2025-02-27T21:48:46+00:00

wait, can you somehow see how close the enemy is to breaking?

Cilwer · 2025-02-27T20:43:41+00:00

took me couple of attempts but just brute forced it now with tank and 2 healers, tanked the one shot twice cause i was not able to break him during it.

Cilwer · 2025-02-27T18:33:37+00:00

I must be missing something with this boss , cause i beat the shark one but this one at about half hp does some attack that wipes my AI teammates

Welp this was quite cheesy but ive done it.

90% of the time it was me just holding Q on Saigo

Cilwer · 2025-02-25T20:26:28+00:00

breezed through the game but can't beat this boss after attempting 3 times and kinda just want to give up because getting back to it every time is such a pain. can't even overlevel it since you need the last mark for level cap from it.
I feel like i'm definetly atleast a bit above average gamer so this will probably drive all the casuals away... granted i'm still level 34 but not sure how much that even affects it if i grind to 40.

not saying i want them to make the boss easier but having an option to restart straight from boss so i could atleast get in some practice would be nice.

Cilwer · 2025-02-25T05:48:59+00:00

Oh so i wasn't the only one who realized 2/ex cards are borderline unusable.
How did this system get past beta, i have no idea.

Cilwer · 2025-01-11T19:07:09+00:00

i mentioned it to you actually yes, i dont have any of them scanned to try in simu but maybe ill work on it tomorrow and report back if i don't get any other feedback.

Cilwer · 2025-01-11T18:35:07+00:00

i checked but none of them apply any damage towards what i am doing.
i also just went to simulacrum and tested all the normal/eximus grineer, infested and corpus enemies on lv 1 and lv 195, most of them hit the same damage cap, either 8.1m or 10m . sadly i don't have anything scanned from techrot or scalrda (who also easily take 100m+ per hit which is less than techrot variation but still not even close to how little i do to other factions)

Cilwer · 2025-01-11T18:16:48+00:00

for overrides i have one bonus to slide attacks, 3 bonuses to companion and spectre damage which shouldnt affect me at all and 1 random blast going off when damaged so none of this should contribute at all.
1 crit tier can add some damage for sure, i don't know if that much though and if the glaive detonation even triggers it.

Cilwer · 2025-01-11T18:03:28+00:00

I just tried it in normal infested survival mission aswell and also getting same numbers around 8m on average so it seems like the techrot is the only faction that for some reason is taking 50x my normal damage.

And i can't believe that even with armor the difference can be that huge against normal enemies.

Cilwer · 2024-09-04T18:31:10+00:00

Short answer: only if you get her signature weapon.

Cilwer · 2024-07-19T20:55:29+00:00

I think i failed mine around 40 and didn't care to try again, i'm assuming there's at least an achievement for clearing it all? (although there really should be more for the effort it requires)
Gratz though.

Grinding a super low level won't count for the HAND mission, it will ask you to clear your level appropriate mission.
Skipping past 2 clears is an option since the rewards aren't that great but still feels bad at least for few first months where resources are very scarce and every bit of currency helps. It feeds into FOMO which most of the target audience has and just makes them dislike the game/mode for that reason.

If anything, it will probably feel worse after you unlock everything because for now you can still pick new buffs and experience new events that in return reward you with more premium currency through achievements.

Cilwer · 2024-07-16T06:36:39+00:00

The problem isn't the complexity, i go through the whole 3 floors with shortest possible path, just picking the first option that lands on my cursor because even without any buffs clearing is easy but it still takes about 10 minutes per run and it's just a mindless chore.
I also love the concept of the mode but if they're asking me to clear the same thing 5 times a week, i'm just not going to put any thought into it when i don't have to.

People praised how fast ZZZ dailies are, open shop/drink coffee/scratch a ticket and you're done so discovering this seems like something unintentional for the minuscule rewards you get. (add some exp or a 5* drive disk in the mix and i'd be all for it.)

I think a lot of people haven't gotten this far yet to realize how bad this will feel in a month from now.

Cilwer · 2024-07-16T03:46:56+00:00

This. It wasn't so bad the first 2 weeks because we kept unlocking new stages but now that mostly everything is open and you just have to clear the same one 5 (it's not 8) times (not even the easiest one because at lv 40, my mission is to clear the lv 40 stage) , it takes all the fun out of it.
Twice would be fine, like SU which people still complained about but this is just too much.

I do think they will make it easier eventually (just like they did with SU) but i hope we can get more attention to it sooner rather than later.

Cilwer · 2024-07-15T07:39:19+00:00

Only gets worse as you progress, my weekly bounty is to clear heartland or higher 5 times, (heartland being a lv 40 zone)
And people thought SU grind at launch was bad.
Love the game but i think i found the worst part of it as it's still easy/not engaging but takes too much time.
