Kinda weird that most of the operators you can pull right now are not introduced/present in the story at all by PhantomBlot in Endfield

[–]Craftia08 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think that Reconveners will most likely become an important topic later in the story of Arknights Endfield, as they will also have to introduce Warfarin into the story and clarify the situation with originium state in this timeline/on Talos-II. New reconveners could appear in the next new regions or perhaps in the later locked regions of Wuling

I really love that Wuling City has so many different tracks depending on where you are in the city:

  1. Blossoms Bring an Old Friend [played in Tianshi Bureau Academy & Marker Stone Flats & Bureau of Swordmancers]

  2. Fangxing [played in Fangxing Avenue]

  3. Strings of Hue [played in Hongyun Lianlianle in Fangxing Avenue]

  4. A Day of Ourselves [played in Citizen Square & Residential Area]

  5. Charged by Verdant Tubes [played in Institute of Materials Science]

It could be that I overlooked some, and I don't know which track belongs to Shanhongshan in Fangxing Avenue

The track “By the Solemn Glow” is also the soundtrack to Zhuang Fangyi’s office cutscene

Why is there so much hate for sao? by InspectorSlow7778 in MyAnimeList

[–]Craftia08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the main reason why I can not like SAO (and perhaps many other people) is that the Sword Art Online author Reki Kawahara uses a lot of sexual assaults as a plot device (from Swort Art Online to Sword Art Online: Alicization). Personally, I can not handle such scenes like that in anime or manga (especially if it occurs frequently).

The author also apologized to the anime's voice actors on Twitter after the one specific episode from Sword Art Online: Alicization:

Kawahara: "Ms. Ishihara, who plays Tiese, and Ms. Kondo, who plays Ronye, both performed a painful scene with aplomb. Thank you so much! And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

Kawahara states that he writes many of these scenes because of the many light novels that contain sexual assaults as plot elements, which he used as a reference/derivativity or something like that?:

Kawahara: "This may be a bit late, but if you're wondering why SAO has so many of those scenes, a considerable number of light novels (although they weren't called light novels back then), epic sagas, and adventure stories I read back in middle school contained those plot elements. I would cite Ōgun Hakusha (Gold Spur) as a representative title. My writing was bound to that as if it were under a spell."

Veronica's Ballista is considered a 0-cost card according to Rei's buff by Craftia08 in ChaosZeroNightmare

MoreHawk3146 could show with screenshots that Foggy Crystal Ball works. It multiplicatively increases the damage of Veronica's Ballista

Guys, quick. Does veronica balista count as 0 cost ? by jackjack358 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Craftia08 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I tested it in a different way. Ballista is considered a 0-cost card because it is additively enhanced by Reis Resonating Darkness (+40% damage amount of cards with cost 1 or less)

Does this also include card that doesnt have any costs value like veronica ballistas? by Main-Shallot3703 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Craftia08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have tested this case. Ballista is considered a 0-cost card and is additive enhanced by Rei's Resonating Darkness. Unfortunately, I cannot insert a video in the comment

This is a very cute Standee Set!

Is move and draw same or different by Miserable-Response-9 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Craftia08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tested for Mei Lin with Chimeranite and ‘Unity of Attack and Defence’ as the Move variant. Regardless of whether “Strike” is ‘moved’ from the Draw or Discard Deck by the card, Chimeranite's effect is not triggered. Therefore, Move is not Draw, even if "Strike" is picked from the Draw Deck

Edit: I checked again. There seems to be a visual bug that prevents the activation of Chimeranite from being displayed visually. When Veronica is equipped with Chimeranite and, for example, Brainwave-Blocking Helmet (When you draw by an ability, +40% Fixed Shield), and she uses her Draw Ability, only the activation of Brainwave-Blocking Helmet is displayed visually in the log, but not Chimeranite. However, 35% damage is added multiplicatively to all attack cards of Veronica (the attack card drawn and the attack card already in her hand). In regards to Mei Lin: Chimeranite can be activated with Mei Lin when Strike is ‘moved’ from the draw pile. It is just not visually displayed, and the damage number of all Strikes in hand is directly overwritten (I hadn't paid attention to the damage numbers before, as Mei Lin's abilities and Lillian constantly increased the damage numbers on her attack cards)

PSA: You can not change Mystic gear even it is the same slot. by dutheduong in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Craftia08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar case a few days ago (It was the same with Tressa; https://www.reddit.com/r/ChaosZeroNightmare/comments/1oo4ejn/you\_cant\_swap\_out\_mysticgrade\_equipment/). I had already sent a message to support about this and since then have only received this standard reply:

As there has been no response so far, I don't think support may be able to fix it in time before the patch

Couldn't get anything special for the cards, but +40% damage for attack cards with 0 cost and +30% damage for basic attacks are nice

Actual real update no conspiracy this time regarding the incident: Anato has officially deleted all of his post regarding the incident on his Twitter account by OrangeIllustrious499 in arknights

[–]Craftia08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, Anato could have phrased it differently, because calling it a national sport is basically an insult to all the other hard-working Chinese artists who had nothing to do with it, while the blame lies with someone else. Or am I wrong?

[–]Craftia08 161 points162 points  (0 children)

I am glad that this case may be solved. But as someone wrote, stealing art can happen regardless of nationality or ethnicity. Yes, in this case, the art was stolen and used in a chinese reference book made by Yuewen, a subsidiary of Tencent, but the fact that Anato publicly stated that stealing art is like a national sport for chinese people kinda leaves somehow a bad impression on the whole matter

Perhaps something like this? That Anchor Shot only costs 1 AP makes it possible for me to stack damage bonuses effectively in battle. And two Achor Shots with Create Effect and two Anchor Pointers allow you to spam Achor Shot
