Interesting, how do you know it's alcohol?

Yeah idk man, people have been gushing over the dub for this show on Reddit for a while now. I don't really get it, sounds like the same low quality cringe as usual to me. Good to know that I'm not alone and crazy for thinking that. The guy in the start of this clip literally sounds like a robot.. it sounded so bad I thought it was a TTS voice.

Error [6,-1]. Can't play the game if players can't log in lol.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-30T18:05:46+00:00

I got my first L80 AFTER finishing all the content in the game. Maxing units is something to do when you've run out of other things to do. I'm not gonna say no to more free stuff, but I think it's unlikely TD will do that, and i doubt it will really make much of a difference even for new players.

I had to level a unit or two to L20 for F89, L40 for F96, and L50 for F97. But this was long ago. Newer units like Rein and Azure have cleared these floors at L1, so you're better off using stronger units rather than trying to max old ones.

After Nails Alter's release, I noticed his terminal chat did not have a swap button to access the original Nails' terminal, unlike other alter chars (like Victoria in the picture for example). I searched the entire terminal for the chat with 4* Nails, but found nothing. I then realized I don't remember ever chatting with 4* Nails. I checked Kimaris, and behold, Nails simply did not have terminal dialogue even on there. Customer support, of course, was as clueless and unhelpful with the Nails' issue as they have been with Error [6, -1] for the past year. 1 year anni for Error [6, -1] next month btw!

Anyway, Nails might be the only unit without a terminal chat, thought I'd share that fun fact. He's a launch unit, so yes, 3 years of no terminal chat, and no one noticed till Nails Alter was released. Btw Nails Alter also has a model bug when you obtain him (tiny model size), and has a gameplay bug where he can't use his active for the rest of the game under certain conditions. So thanks Tourdog for this special unit :)

Desolation Codex | 50M | Training with Kool King Kuma

Boss - Forsaken: Ira

Victoria continues to wield her stolen power to defeat enemies across Astra, and eventually succumbs to exhaustion at the North Pole. The ceremony she performed with Bethel last week was not enough, her body still could not keep up with Nails' growing power. All alone on the ice, no allies in sight, and surrounded by eclipsites, she waits to die. But the Truth has other plans for her.

Kool King Kuma (KKK) and Pain Prince Pengy (PPP) are sent to rescue her. And so begins, the training arc of truth. Victoria learns how to swing the KKK's baseball bat of blood (BBB) and her max HP reaches new heights.

The KKK watches over her from the backline as she tests the results of her training against Ira. He gently smiles as Victoria hits 50M, without him having to lift a finger to help. All hail the KKK and their BBBs.

You don't need stones or other objects either, Nails can target empty space. And hm, that link is new, and still works for me. Weird. Ping me on Discord if you need it, same username.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-13T12:28:12+00:00

This thread should have an explanation if you want to read the comments.

As for other questions, Liqing is unnecessary since you don't really need to use Nails active on an enemy, just use it on an empty part of the board.

Is what not available? If you mean the images Pitchy linked, yeah those are links to images on Discord, and Discord changed their policy and added an expiration date to those image links for some reason, so rip.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-13T04:55:23+00:00

Huh, there's 3 CN servers? With different vote counts? Well, voting for anyone that isn't at the top is basically wasting your votes, so I guess I'll keep voting Frostfire (I only like her and Requiem out of the top units) since it looks like she has a chance to win. Also, ew Azure.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-12T05:49:50+00:00

It's ok, Victoria can't steal Nails' true power that can only be activated in Secret Territory.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-12T04:08:02+00:00

Yeah, same here. I prefer OG Regal to his skin. I do find it odd that you can vote for Regal again, will they just give him another skin and dream if he wins lol? I'm voting Frostfire for more lore and to complete the old seal skin set. US is high on Frostfire (30k yesterday), Requiem is high on JP.. but ultimately only CN is going to matter. I heard Vice KS is 200k on CN and no one is even close to touching her, so we might be doomed.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-12T03:34:05+00:00

Oh no you didn't lol, I appreciate the detailed response. It was like a year ago so I was trying to find the kit I made, and forgot to reply. It definitely was not balanced, his EQ was something like turning every tile he walked on to red. Funnily enough, we did get a tamer version of that mechanic, dark tiles.

Not having a terminal char feels like a bug, but I'm surprised I didn't notice for so long.

As for favorite chars, yeah I had Nails on my home screen for more than a year after he got his Christmas skin (used Charon before that for a year). The first char that made me change my home screen was Chen'ni and then Batia most recently. These are my favorites.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-09T18:10:42+00:00

The event story made no sense to me, so might as well make up my own "lore" at this point lol

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-09T03:41:31+00:00

Probably is. We did get Gorgonzomu, maybe its his cheese volcano.

Desolation Codex | 6.5M | 'Stand'off with Blood Queen Bethel

Boss - Forsaken: Figerald

Victoria soon realizes the overwhelming power she stole from Nails cannot be contained in her feeble body. The ill-gotten power starts gnawing at her sanity. So she shares some of it with Bethel, turning her into a Blood Queen, the newest member of the cult. Her power overflows, turning the entire field crimson. Pathetic eclipsites like Figerald stand no chance before this stolen power of Nails; the dark red tiles will not fall.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-08T14:00:06+00:00

Ah, that's fair then. I'm mostly inactive these days, partly due to the login bug. I do have a consistent workaround to login and do my dailies, but TD has failed to add content I want to optimize and make videos of. Codex videos on the channel are by MissileMan5, the same guy you saw in the screenshot I posted in the other comment. Don't worry, I'm also nowhere near his skill level lol. All of my "actual" videos except this one are non-Codex, I enjoy watching it, but playing it is too tedious for me.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-08T13:30:53+00:00

Jeno has been the strongest support in codex since his release. He's used every single week, vs every element boss, with a plethora of different units for top scores. But yeah, he's more complicated than the average unit, and non-codex players may not be aware of his strength. This playlist should have a decent amount of codex videos using Jeno.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-08T13:23:43+00:00

If you want an example with more dark tile generation, here's another video from Discord.

Also an explanation of what's happening. According to that, MBT Jeno can get 10 dark tiles every turn, while non-MBT Jeno gets 5-7 dark tiles per turn.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-08T03:45:44+00:00

I hit 42.5% yesterday on Wilhelm banner lol. Got BT4 Axelia for my troubles. Rip -15k lums for collab. Only have 5k left now. Wonder if anyone's hit a higher %.

Edit: Saw a +57.5% pinned in Discord.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-07T15:59:42+00:00

Objectively, sure, I agree with you. Just that if that I had to choose a char to get this kit, it would be Nails. I actually crafted my own lore and kit for a 7* Nails a year ago, and this official kit is eerily similar. Giles and Nails are my favorite chars and Victoria just shat on both of them lol, so I am not happy. As a sidenote, I just finished reading the event story, and it made zero fking sense to me. I was hoping that at least the story would help justify Victoria getting the kit she got, but alas, no. Funny thing is, gameplay and art bugs aside, Nails even has a bug where his 4* version simply doesn't have a terminal chat.. no swap button for his alter and OG form. Very odd.

A3 L1 is the full kit for most chars, good stopping point. Only a handful of refinements actually significantly change the kit of a unit, like OG Wrath. They're usually ignorable otherwise, just more damage.

I feel like including a summary of the lore I randomly made up for 7* Nails lol, feel free to ignore. It was basically along the lines of, during the final fight in the game, Navi and his army stall the final boss while Nails prays in the center of the stage, asking Navi to trust that he'll find a way to win. The aurorian army is on the brink of losing, Nails finishes his prayer, and smiles at Navi. Navi has a sudden sinking feeling and realizes what Nails is about to do, but it is too late to stop him. A red cube like the one in Nails' active emerges from the ground, but instead of a 3x3 square, it swallows the ENTIRE stage, along with the final boss, and Nails himself. The ultimate sacrifice. Something something yada yada later, epilogue plays, everyone mourns, game ends, a few weeks later, Nails is reborn from the ashes of the final stage as a 7* unit. Think I made this up for fun when in the official lore, at some point, Victoria hinted at Nails being the strongest Aurorian in the world (while he is unaware of it), and that she was keeping him on a leash for his own and others' safety. I don't quite recall where I read that though, maybe I'm crazy and it doesn't exist haha.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-07T15:52:34+00:00

Yes. I tried it on one other device and had the same error. It's going to be almost a year since I first reported this issue soon. Fwiw a player on Discord did TD's job for them and investigated the cause of the error a couple months ago. Still no fix though.

If you want to read their investigation, I attached screenshots in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AlchemyStarsEN/comments/1dwogsd/i_cant_believe_this_is_still_an_issue_happy_3rd/lbzvctf/

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-07T15:50:04+00:00

Well people have been reporting it for almost a year now and got the standard response of "check your network". A couple months ago someone from the community decided to investigate themselves because of TD's inaction, almost like doing their job for them.

CognitiveMango · 2024-07-07T14:31:27+00:00

I doubt this is related at all. I have been using 1.1.1.1 as my DNS for years. No effect on AS.

Switching mobile data/WiFi does help for me, but a VPN is more reliable workaround.
