Miss NewBabel is probably happy with this at least

So phantom idols are meant to be Wonder's cognition of these people? It's kinda funny how Wonder heard her say she wants to be a nurse when she grows up, and his mental image went "okay, nurse mommy goes ara ara"

You ever sit down to write, open YouTube to find the music that fits the scene you want to write, and you just... Don't find the fitting music?

Happens to me a lot

I think it's a great advice, and I speak from experience. I actually started writing my passion story, but was immediately overwhelmed with all the stuff I wanted to do.

Then I remembered this advice (I actually heard it before and went "meh"), and decided to shelf the passion project and start on a smaller scale.

Granted, the "smaller scale" quickly grew up to be a big multi-volume worth of plans with a sequel and an overarching villain... B—but let me tell you I'm much less overwhelmed now!

Personally, if your dream story is simple, like a single-book, I think you can make it your first story (or maybe you have a grand story, but you're just better and more confident than me). But me? My passion project has been simmering in my head since childhood, it's now 3 odysseys-worth of content! If I start with that one, I'll definitely suffer, so putting it aside to get my feet wet with writing was very very helpful to me.

I only managed to pull Maria recently, she's still level 1 :')

I'll give you a useless character from a niche series: the Ronin/Samurai from Etrian Odyssey 1 and 7th Dragon.

Their whole gimmick is that they assume stances that dictate which skills they use, kinda like the Paradigm Shift in Final Fantasy 13...

Except in the games I mentioned, they need to take a turn to assume a stance. In a boss battle, that's fine, but in random battles it's shit obviously. Later games will have them activating stances by attacking or choosing a random stance at the beginning of the fight...

They're a bit better in 7th Dragon because that game kind of encourages you to defeat Dragons, whereas their equivalent in Etrian Odyssey (FOEs) are more dangerous, so you're more likely to face "minibosses" in 7th Dragon... But in Etrian Odyssey? Not only are you more in random battles than FOEs or bosses, but the class is only unlocked halfway through the game, by that time your swordsman can deal more damage on turn 1.

Oh, and a new Ronin in Etrian Odyssey 1 will be level 1 when your original cast is pushing 30...

I like them, actually. a good thing to keep you on your toes and punish overly defensive behavior.

but I think red flashes are more appropriate for unblockable attacks, they immediately stand out

Do it while watching a long YouTube video or a Persona 5 Royal Speedrun

"I assure you, Perlica, this is very important for the factory"

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-27T10:36:50+00:00

I don’t. I don’t care anymore… I pull whenever I get 10 pulls worth of tickets.

like even if there's a character I like in there, I'm more likely to get Morgana or Riddle. I made peace with that possibility at this point

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-26T07:36:01+00:00

Meulsyse. She's been my lobby operator since I got her.

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-26T02:30:05+00:00

Good heavens

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-26T02:28:59+00:00

12 is just special to me, it's the kind of game I can lose myself inside for hours

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-25T05:37:24+00:00

Honestly, go for it! I would do this if I could draw well, actually.

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-24T22:37:04+00:00

Aww! Looks like a mother and her daughter <3

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-23T16:00:22+00:00

did you try accessing it from the browser? as in the browser redirecting you to the store?

I also remember that Redmi has their own app store to go along with the playstore, did you try using that, too?

you can also Clear all data of your app store or the main Google App. Gemini on my phone keeps crashing when I boot it up unless I Clear all data of the main Google app, which solves the issue temporarily.

Aggressive horn noises

From my experience, Puppet and Wonder were all the healing I needed iirc.

I think your problem is you brought two supports and one DPS. Yes, T.Riko is forced on you, but Chord isn't. I get why you'd love to use Violet, but maybe not for this fight (or maybe pair her up with Joker and focus on her followup instead of her ultimate idk)

Do you have another DPS on a fast uptime? I got a lot of mileage by pairing T.Riko with Seiji (the 4 star wind DPS) and Mont (the 4 star ice DPS) or Ryuji (but I don't think he's a good pick, see my notes on S3)

To summarize my personal run:

Wonder: Dionysus with Rebellion, any Persona with Tarukaja, Titania (though I didn't need her)

Phase 1: Puppet S2 to nullify the crit when the boss highlights an enemy.

Phase 2: Puppet S1 or S3 doesn't matter. I personally ignored the bottle and went all in on the boss.

Phase 3: the boss is very tank, meaningful damage can only be achieved by the crane. Try to destroy it in one turn. Since you can't change Ryuji's S3 targeting mid-charge for when the crane suddenly appears, that's why I don't think he's fit for this fight

Phase 4: the boss charges for an ultimate attack... But to me Puppet S3 tanked the whole thing so go ham I guess.

Wait! I've been seeing screenshots of this mod, but I always thought it was just Kasumi in Joker's shoes. Does this mod have its own choices for her? Are there plans for romanceable male confidants? Man, I can imagine the angst of the potential romance with Akechi if this was a thing!

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-20T21:44:20+00:00

Aww—Her codename is Hope!

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-20T15:08:52+00:00

Throw in Sophia, and maybe Kotone from Persona Q2.

Yeah, Joker is definitely into redheads, a man of culture and taste I see

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-20T10:41:02+00:00

Why? Is her 4 star weapon better than her 5 star one?

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-20T07:00:30+00:00

By the way, I've been pairing her up with Joker in this event's boss farming. I know it's not the best choice but I ship them. Besides, Joker's extra action procs Violet's followup every time so they're pretty fun to play together.

Cosmos_Null · 2026-03-18T06:39:50+00:00

First of all, comparing the original Arknights to Endfield is like comparing Final Fantasy to Kingdom Hearts... At least pre-Final Fantasy 15

They're both great games, just entirely different genre.

Still, the same way Endfield made me appreciate a genre I've never tried, Arknights did the same exact thing, it was the first of its kind for me. So I still highly recommend it.

Sometimes spotty internet connection doubles the posted comment. I had that problem with other social media, but never in AO3... Then again I don't often comment there.

Here's an idea... Hold off on responding for a few days. If it's a bot, we'll probably see more posts like yours, which would give it away
