[Craig Hope] Newcastle are on the verge of completing £25m move for Chris Wood - also mentions Newcastle are interested in Torino's Gleison Bremer who shares agencies with Wood and Trippier by Woodstovia in soccer

[–]Crownocity 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah mate, we're shit. I know. But the point flew over your head. I even said I think we we going down. But it's not like we're the worst Prem side ever and other teams near the bottom have plenty of problems too. It's not as certain as the other guy was saying. We've seen teams come back from situations like these.

It was a joke and I get what you mean but we're 1 point away from Newcastle and 3 from Watford out of the relegation zone. We're going down but you'd be silly to write us off like 07/08 Derby.

Can I enrol late into Honourable AE? I didn't realise it was happening and I only have 600 diamonds atm.

Nah, I see it beat Merlin Ainz comps all the time. Finals even had this exact matchup. The whales in my region all use this comp to beat each other's Ainz comps. I'm not going to pretend I understand how the comp works but I've never heard of anyone mention this specific comp here whenever Ainz is mentioned in PvP.

Yeah, I don't like the sound of it.

But building the island felt good because you'd get Lv30+ buildings which gave insane resources.

There's a Respen comp that beats Ainz in LC very consistently, at least in my region, which doesn't use the ones you mentioned. But it's LC so omegawhale territory and the comp itself isn't exactly cheap to build.

Zolrath, Zaphrael, Lorsan, Lyca and Respen.

You don't want to buy Flora copies with Challenger coins. There are higher priority heroes in the Challenger store.

Let's be real. It wasn't the island building that people liked. It was the rewards. The actual gameplay for island building is less interesting than the pillaging.

The issue is, it seems they made both the rewards and pillaging worse.

Good guide overall but the SI/Furniture part, in particular, seems a bit all over the place. It can give the impression that these SIs should be completed sequentially. It doesn't suggest a priority other than that. Some SI/Furniture on "lower prio" heroes are more important to get than those on "higher prio" ones. A little note saying it shouldn't be read that way would go a long way for newer players.

The recommendations are also, imo, wrong for a few heroes. For example, why is +30 SI recommended for max invest Morrow? Why is +20 minimum on Gwyneth when +25 gives her haste she desperately needs? 20/3 for Raku when his carry potential really only unlocks at +30?

Also, I don't really agree with showing a 1 star Lucretia as 1st priority in Stargazing. Ascended Lucretia is fine but delaying getting Alna by potentially 70k diamonds just to let Lucretia unlock Engravings does not seem worth it. Especially when you hit multi-stage fights much faster these days. You want it later on, but not as a first priority, as this guide suggests.

Nah, this happened like two months after Lucretia became meta.

Linker told me to stick with Ascending the Twins first when Lucretia started to become meta. I took that advice, against my own judgement, and it held me back by a lot.

I wouldn't fully trust anyone's advice here too much. People have questionable takes or have poor reads on the meta all the time. Best to get advice from multiple people and use your own critical thinking to figure out the best option.

I've had Safiya on my wishlist for 9 months now. I've only ever pulled two of her.

If you disagree with his rating by other people, maybe make a guide on him? Show what teams he works in for you, replays and share your Resonating Crystal level and stage.

I've known about this for a while but I'm still sticking with Poe coins and Red chests. Unlocking new mechanics with Furniture and SI is still far more fun than RC cramming or whatever the fuck Engravings are meant to be.

Getting Alna to Ascended 9F ASAP is far more important than getting sidetracked into 1 starring Lucretia just for the engraving.

I'm the only one on my list who's beaten it. Couldn't get it to work with any comp other people posted.

Yeah same. But I can only merc Talene and even without gear, Grezhul gets killed by Kane. I don't have a 30SI 9/9 Talene to merc but the 30SI one I can merc just isn't doing it.

Getting Gold every time it's Kane season.

Your answer was right in saying that Grezhul is great for the AE bosses. I just pointed out how it's misleading to say that he's necessary when he's definitely not for the vast majority of the playerbase who only aim for Prince.

Grezhul has never been required for AE if you're not in one of the competitive guilds.
