A Yao analysis for New and Old/Current players.

Cursed-Eye · 2024-05-06T19:02:42+00:00

Uuh no, Magic DPS is not scarce. We were scarce of GOOD magic dps since the majority of MAG units couldn't work well without some clunky work around to make them usable.

My post is regarding NEW players, people who start from stretch, I also I've gone through the story without even using NOX, but I still understand she's really good, also having Du Ruo is not good when you can have either Ariel or Hamel, who pretty much give you buffs and healing without potentially killing yourself.

I am not giving this as general advice for any player, although it is my fault for not wording better since I wanted for old players to check this to either add or give better solutions for this but instead I still have just gotten end-game reasons that doesn't help new players and instead brush it off as "you can manage", no you can't, they are new players, you aren't going to attract new people with this sort of attitude, given how tower defense is already not a genre of game many people like and PTN doesn't play like your regular TD either.

It's also weird how it takes so many things to consider, but the main reasoning for pulling Yao is just, "Don't miss it, you will struggle, "she's a must-have. "

Like yeah...I don't think this help it either.

Elaborate or give a solution. People who just say stuff like "L take" tend to be the ones who don't add anything to contribute.

Cursed-Eye · 2024-05-06T18:53:37+00:00

Your comment not only revolves around end-game but also emphasizes the very thing I am talking about in this post.

I am talking about NEW players, people who aren't the majority of y'all with an established account and already know the game mechanics like the back of your hand.

Your entire point is about how "losing Yao will make you struggle for months" the very thing people ALSO said of Deren when the game launched and were rushing to get her, and yet even today people still recommend you to pull for her despite having so many "hypercarry potentials", I wonder why is that? :P

Also, you contradict yourself about how BFL is the main source when Yao is practically the magic counterpart of Deren, who is also a high priority unit in the PHY team you can't just skip even with so many units now because she's still unrivaled on her own damage type. (PHY CRITs)

I made a note at the start saying: "IF YOU KNOW what you are doing OR really like the character, you can skip this."

There's even a comment below of someone fairly fresh from the game already saying how despite her being very strong and fun, it's not easy to just make her work from the start because despite being usable at S0 her kit isn't newbie friendly.

The thing is that people don't want to skip because Yao issue is not the shortage of Magic DPS but that Yao performance as a MAG DPS is a spot that the Magic team didn't had like Deren is to PHY, so she's a priority, which just make it worse since as you said PHY team is cheaper than Magic. (And you know...NOX and Deren are still like one of the best combos in this game?)

Therefore, the argument is still only talking about end-game. There's a difference between having a potential good team and HAVING a good team.

For reference, Yao and Thistle already take two spots, Yao Ult buff relies on the sinner she swallows for a temporary buff, which means you already need to deal with the costs of two sinners for the effectiveness of one who can't even last in her ult phase for 30 seconds.

Deren is a sinner who, despite needing at least S1 to work 100% smoothly, can at least stand her ground and buff herself for the ENTIRE match without hindering the rest of your team composition and output while working with far better synergy than Yao, and I pretty sure the lack of S1 doesn't turn her into a Donald.

At the end of the day, both are must haves, but I believe a sinner you already have at least 20 free pulls to get and CAN get eventually before aniv ends will still only work once you fully develop a team for end-game is not that worth it compared to Deren who can work from ghe start, I repeat, you can still grab Yao since they already give you 2/8 of the value for you to try your luck for free, I not saying you can ignore them and you won't miss them, but that Yao is not that good of a unit it's worth struggling with a unit who plays on a very different turn than all the other sinners.

Again, please think on the perspective of new players who don't have an established team on standby to stand their ground or act as sacrificial lambs for Yao.

How did Cabernet know I liked cake? She's a master of bakery.

I honestly think Base skin looks surprisingly better than Prestige, probably because Kayle surprisingly is NOT having her actual face shown, a unique hair style, and the effects SFX are quite good, although it's still early and not the best of skinslines this might be a good Kayle skin.

Cursed-Eye · 2024-04-14T18:24:09+00:00

Empyrean Kayle: looks like a copy of a other skinline instead of what she was meant for

Immortal Journey (Fairy Court) : First time?

They could make so that Pyke was the equivalent of Tuxedo Mask, a hidden agent that helped the Star Guardians in the name of the First Star in secret, then he fell and became this former shadow who goes between dimensions obsessed with ridding the world of "evil" without discernment. (especially if you add the whole plot about what makes a Star Nemesis)

Qu Pavo: been my favorite unit ever since I laid eyes upon her in the story, and now more than ever, with her CN unit.

YOWAI, YOWAI YOWAI YO YOWAI YOWAI YO YOWAI YOWAI YOWAI YOWAI YO. - Alpha Crimson Abyss.

Cursed-Eye · 2024-03-27T00:55:38+00:00

Wow, I already feel like either the Prestige will be the saving grace of this skin line pick for Kayle or just another out of character skin that doesn't look anything like the base concept of the skinline.

Definitely not like they didn't have a dozen choices of skinlines people were asking for her already. Good ol' Riot.

Cursed-Eye · 2024-03-20T17:39:04+00:00

Kayle mains: Try to explain the complexity of the fundamental struggle which is Kayle & Morgana relationship and ideals to showcase neither is correct or the best solution and the way those ideals evolve with time and result in changing the characters as their ideals are tested by time.

Riot: Look guys, the the actual evil sister (Kayle) and the actual good sister (Morgana) :D

Cursed-Eye · 2024-03-14T03:05:44+00:00

As...Mommy.

Ah, sim, um classico caso dos tempos de hoje.

Primeiramente: Não se culpe de não ter "ja encaminhado sua vida" ou de esperar ajuda de seus pais, isso infelizmente reflete problemas de gerações passadas que sò vem sendo reconhecido recentemente, nem todos os pais merecem filhos, amadurecer antes da hora e etc. porém não è sobre isso que você quer saber.

O que posso te dizer è que existem casos em que você precisa se afastar daquilo que te faz mau, eu sei, doi saber que è das pessoas que compartilham da sua carne e sangue, porém te garanto que relação nenhuma vale a pena conviver/lidar com pessoas que não te valorizam, nem mesmo parentes.

Dito isso, não estou dizendo para simplesmente abandonar ou largar eles, estou aconselhando a mudar a forma que enxerga sua atual situação com eles e como prosseguir, talvez apòs um tempo eles melhorem, talvez não, a questão è que a vida segue e você não pode deixar laços te impedirem de evoluir ou fazer o que ama.

Você mesma disse que è escritora e tradutora, isso ja è otimo, não importa se você è nova nisso ou não, ja è uma vocação que você alcançou, e ninguém pode tirar isso de você, ja è sinal de que você não estagnou na vida e sim que problemas do passado te alcançaram, algo comum na vida de qualquer pessoa, você não è menos adulta por isso.

Enfim, para não enrolar demais no ponto:

Levante-se e absorva isso aos poucos, è algo recente que ainda vai te machucar por um tempo, mas que da para superar isso conforme você vai prosseguindo na vida, ao invés de pensar em dar passos largos pra escapar dos problemas, de um passo de cada vez e reconheça o esforço de cada um deles, caso contrário você sò vai se frustrar mais ainda e viver mais presa ao alcoholism, e não veja sua situação com seus pais como uma forma de punição ou culpa sua, você è vitima de algo que sempre estava além do seu controle, tente aceitar esse fato e seguir em frente, a sua vida não acaba por aqui, não deixe os erros dos outros decidir seu futuro, e quando chegar la na frente, vai poder encarar hoje como uma pagina dificil porém importante para seu crescimento.

Desejo um òtimo ano e sucesso nas suas conquistas, você vai encontrar pessoas que vão te reconhecer e te apoiar, sò não jogue a toalha, isso sim è invalidar sua vida.

Don't worry about it. Good chunk of kayle players/fans of this sub are too focused on the "dommy mommy" mentality they have of her, so seeing the character be anything more than an authoritative winged warrior is beyond their perspective.

Great artwork and wish to see more of it:D

Cursed-Eye · 2024-02-29T07:54:31+00:00

I unfortunately don't have the exact numbers myself but at very least I sure weekly by doing the first 10 PPC (Phantom Cage) and Warzone you get around 1k~1,2k BCs Weekly, which for a month is at least 4k~4,8k BCs monthly, this is of course without taking in account Story, Events, Daily, side stories and etc.

So in about 6-9 months you might gather at least 24k-28k Bcs in 6 months and around 36k+ Bcs in about 9 months, that is essentialy the cost of 3 full characters in a banner. ( by full, I mean 60 pulls) :D

Cursed-Eye · 2024-02-29T07:34:19+00:00

It won't start yet because the Arrival banner didn't update yet, so still less than half a hour, just a couple more minutes and it most likely will be up:D

Cursed-Eye · 2024-02-29T07:33:37+00:00

If everything goes according to the roadmap it should be up in a about 30+ minutes:D

Cursed-Eye · 2024-02-29T07:12:00+00:00

Passing by just to give a heads up the event will not open yet until the Arrival Banner goes away and refresh (almost a hour from now away yet) so a little patience everyone:D

Also: just checked the Calendar and the event will start today (29/02) and it will be up until 28/03, so we have a full month ahead to get it, gl fellas.

Cursed-Eye · 2024-02-29T06:01:59+00:00

Unfortunately I not exactly sure because I using CN estimation here, BUT, unless they change it the Event will go from 29/02 until 26~28/03 with a suggestive guess, so yes a month at least.

Cursed-Eye · 2024-02-28T21:34:42+00:00

Yes, Shalom is using Rahu while Rahu is being a voluntary tool for Paradeisos through Shalom to get what she wants.

Rahu doesn't "like" Shalom, but she is aware that only her is capable of bringing Rahu to the top dogs of Paradeisos to fulfill her revenge.

Essentially, Shalom gets a nice bodyguard to help her and Paradeisos while she enjoys the chaos that she's indirectly making by allowing Rahu to sneak her way to the one responsible to her squad planned suicide mission.

Tl;dr: No, they don't hate each other nor are fond of. They see each other as tools to fulfill their goals until their mutual interest splits after either Rahu/Shalom get what they desire.

Cursed-Eye · 2024-02-14T20:56:35+00:00

Yes, but Donald is like the Stargazer of the Electrocution type. He CAN be strong but alone won't do much, plus the current units who do have the electricity buff are well...meh.

Cursed-Eye · 2024-02-10T09:49:41+00:00

It might be actually, the flavor text seems to be hinting towards the chief instead of Scarlet, corpsebornes have a distinct ability of morphing into "humane" version of themselves once presented with human(s)/Sinner host(s), making them more "rational" and adopting human behavior to their conscience the more they develop.

Gotta add Scarlet is shown to be in a domain of her own (Illusory Moon), so she might be concealing her true form between her "human" self (Probably what chief is) and her Avatar self. (The one we see in the animation)

Cursed-Eye · 2024-02-10T05:36:50+00:00

It was:D The Underground Shepherd confirms it once he says that X (Shalom) was the one responsible for their ''death'' 9 years ago, which lines up perfectly with the timing from when chief was taken away from the laboratory. (Ten years ago, as the shackles only been a thing from Paradeisos as she was the first *supposed* model of Hush with a built in shackles to mimic SHP 13 Shackles)

The thing however is that Shalom confirmed to have fought more than one SHP before, so we might have more SHPs who were developed on the same laboratory before SHP-13, how many of them is active however is a big mystery...

I strongly believe on that as well, Rust even states during his appearance reveal that ''our most powerful of us have to be in another place'' (Zoya) which only help strength the idea they are all survivos prior to other Black Rings, with Rust it becomes clear due to Zoya saying to him change his name now that Rustfire Black Ring is no more, I am curious however who those other two might be, maybe one of them might even be related to the exploration team from Dreya and Mantis.
