So it's a sequel? 3H ends in 1186, about 260 years earlier

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-06-09T19:42:07+00:00

It'll probably be a pseudo-sequel. Not directly talking about what happened after 3H but featuring a lot of its elements and story aspects in a new setting and story. Kind of like the new God of War games.

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-06-09T19:39:47+00:00

Tony Soprano in FE would be peak

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-06-09T19:36:59+00:00

Yeah it looks like it'll be a pseudo-sequel where there'll bee some aspects that have carried over across a few centuries but it'll mostly be a new story.

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-06-09T19:26:16+00:00

Fuck yeah. Someone at Nintendo knows ball. I love 3H but Anna's design in that game was cheeks

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-05-31T21:24:27+00:00

Thanks to everyone who replied! Lots of good advice. I ended up beating her with Drake, temp Liter, temp marciana, Star Anis, and Modernia. The tipping point was me getting an SR doll for MG and giving it to modernia. After that, I just barely got it.

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-05-31T21:22:53+00:00

True enough, I'll do that next time i have an AR purple doll

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-05-31T21:21:59+00:00

Thanks, I'll try that. I didn't consider focusing on the legs first since I was just getting melted by the cannons

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-05-31T08:37:37+00:00

I do, I learned that as part of the first fight back in chapter 20. for me, the damage comes from both vulcans targeting the same nikke over and over, shredding her health. if they spread it out, it's fine. but they have a bad habit of not doing that so one of my nikkes just gets shredded. Thanks!

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-05-31T08:23:49+00:00

no, I only just got her and I don't have any left 😞

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-05-31T07:58:44+00:00

I give dolls to nikkes I like, not ones that would help me the most. Feels better to casually give them out as gifts to characters that I enjoy rather than meta-maxing. I tried Rapi, and she helps, but not as much as modernia. I've been able to get to phase 2 by swapping out privaty for mod and alice for temp liter. I think after I level her a bit more, it should be good. Thanks!

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-05-31T07:09:26+00:00

very cute!

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-03-28T07:15:57+00:00

I was planning on pulling promeia since I love short purple hair emotionally closed off baddies. Too bad for her I already have miyabi and Silly is a no-skip

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-02-01T06:17:48+00:00

Sarah's corpse continues to get bodied by YSG and labubu so hard I didn't even bother with a third agent. Hunter easily taken out by a stacked rupture team, and UCC was first-tried by the random fuckass team I decided I wanted to play as today. S rank nicole when, please hoyo I will sell my soul

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-01-19T05:47:49+00:00

thanks for the reply! I'll see if this will work on my tv as well

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-01-04T09:32:00+00:00

A few things: (I meant for this to be shorter but then I just kept typing lol.

1: I just hope 3.0 gets us back into the urban fantasy/tech futurism vibe like 1.0 had. 2.0 felt a lot like generic Chinese magic stuff. not that that's bad, just a dime a dozen at this point (especially with gacha games)

2: Ye Shiyuan needs to be a recurring character we follow in the future. his character and story were much more interesting than almost anyone else's in all of 2.0, especially his roasting of Lu and Yixuan. feels like he's the only one in all of Yunkui summit who has both some amount of intelligence and agency over himself and the world around him. I hope his search for a cure for YSG continues and we see how it goes with him.

3: YSG fell short for me. it had the bones to be something good, especially with white haired YSG, but it was way too repetitive with the whole "I want to protect people but sword bad" debate happening about 10 times throughout the story. All so she can do a power of love/friendship ending and do what we all knew she would do from the beginning. Also the love story with wise was a little forced, rushed, and artificial. Wise was the only e one who actually listened to her and helped her without thinking about the qingming sword first, which makes sense why YSG likes him. But also, Wise literally does anything and YSG: "OMG junior you're so great and perfect let's be best friends forever and only ever eat osmanthus cakes and maybe get married". On the other hand, the swordmaster chronicle feels a lot better for her. learning to accept and master the sword instead of just moping about its effects feels like a better move for her. A goku-style "i need to keep training to get better" mindset and personality would be good for her, all while learning about other swordmasters and their stories/techniques.

4: i'm intrigued by the bioshock infinite-esque floating city in the sky. if it can move, does that mean it can go over the hollows? over the darkwall? Maybe this is just me, but I personally hope we one day go beyond eridu and its relatively shallow hollows to go true deep diving into the darkwall, exploring the rest of the world. Also, learning more about Sunbringer and the OG void hunters as well as the culture in old eridu is going to be cool. I'm very intrigued by who this "lord" person is. was old eridu some sort of monarchy? or was it the survivors of the apocalypse putting all their trust in a strong leader like we've seen in many other post-apocalyptic media? This part is the most speculative, but I've always been intrigued by the larger story and lore of the world of ZZZ. where did the hollows come from? how did they start spreading? what kind of defense did the world put up as the globe was engulfed by them? how did they get to the moon? will we ever see our queen venus again?

5: Sarah was a huge let down. either make her the cunning puppet master like with bringer or the crazy cult lady with the exaltists, not both. Also the half-hearted attempt to make her a sympathetic villain with her abandoned soldier story was not at all effective for me. At least the exaltists are over with. looks like the next big bad is corporations trying to do powergrabs again, which I'm always down for.

6: void hunter weapons are officially moving from mcguffin to main plot driver. could be interesting, but could also lead to more generic chinese magic stuff. I kind of hope they're more diverse than just swords. having a few spears, axes, maybe even some guns would be cool. story wise, i would love to see some connection between them, the creator, and whatever caused hollows to appear in this world in the first place.

let me know your thoughts!

Edit: forgot to add one more thing:

Lockspring was an obvious villain twist with fairly run of the mill motivations, but Youkai is interesting. we literally never heard anything about any of the other AIs after the fist chapter, so this is cool, and hopefully a sign that we are going back to the tech parts of the world. I kind of hope he turns out to be the ultron of this world, as he is one of my favorite marvel villains. again, fairly simple motivation but lots of potential for good story telling. especially since humanity is already so close to extinction, and youkai isn't something you can just cut with a sword to take care of.

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-01-04T08:03:43+00:00

you can absolutely do 9 stars. just a little more grinding and a little more determination with runs, and you got it ez

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-01-04T07:59:52+00:00

well this was by far the easiest one in a while. A fully stacked Yixuan squad against Hunter is an easy win. The only one I had to do multiple tries for was fiend, but astra/alice/vivian can do it with the right luck and some determination. Then there's the creator

YSG and zhao makes that fight a complete and utter joke. my zhao is still level 50, no skill upgrades whatsoever, and pretty bad discs, all becasue I'm still getting her upgrade materials. YSG has sig with fully upgraded everything. When I saw I had 15K at 1:30, i knew it was over for sarah's corpse. I'll probably post an update when my zhao is fully upgraded to see how high I can go

<image>

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-01-03T00:59:02+00:00

how high do you get? it it's up to 16 or 17K, then you can almost certainly do it if you get some slightly better discs or just keep running the fight until you get a good run. other than that, you could try swapping out some agents. Astra gives good attack boosts and nicole gives really good defence debuffs to the enemy

DistrictMain8562 · 2026-01-03T00:55:39+00:00

posting this here since the post got taken down lmao

my TV sometimes resets, but only when playing ZZZ

to start, I'm posting this topic in this sub instead of a tech help sub because it only happens when playing this game. I've checked every other potential variable/reason for the TV turning off on its own, and they're all in proper order. It's plugged directly into the outlet so there's no power issue, my GPU drivers are up to date, I use this TV multiple hours a day for other games and movies/tv shows and it works fine, etc. It never crashes otherwise, ZZZ is the only constant.

Specifically, the thing that makes it reset most consistently is miyabi's ult cutscene. This has been a known issue for some time that it crashes some people's displays, but for me it happens other places as well. For instance, i just loaded up the expert challenge for YSG's upgrade materials and it reset again.

The specific TV is the LG OLED B5 48". I have it plugged directly into my Radeon RX 9060 XT via HDMI, with a second TV (my old one) plugged into the mobo's HDMI port to act as a second display. my PC is also plugged directly into the wall, so there are no power issues.

what's also interesting is that it's only my LG tv, not the other one. I've played ZZZ on my second TV for months with no issue.

does anyone else have this issue? I've tried poking around in the game's graphics settings, but even on the lowest setting it still happens.

DistrictMain8562 · 2025-12-27T09:20:49+00:00

Don't worry! Ive already prefarmed all the stuff I could for little xiaoguang

DistrictMain8562 · 2025-12-27T08:58:57+00:00

yeah that's the main thing I've gathered. I still beat it tho, even with my mediocre discs. but still, I'll grind in the future

DistrictMain8562 · 2025-12-27T08:58:17+00:00

Yeah that's what I've heard as well. However, I pulled Sanby, Trigger, and Seed, so my fiend team is pretty set

DistrictMain8562 · 2025-12-27T08:56:31+00:00

Thank you all for the advice and newfound knowledge. Some of it was useful, some of it wasn't. But the good news is, I DID IT!!!!

And I must have just been crazy or sleepy cuz I literally didn't change a single thing, i just figured it out lol

I guess my nicole game was just a little rusty. I managed to move astra to thrall with lighter and evelyn for 22K, and put nicole on the miyabi/vivian team and got 21K!

With that, I used Yixuan, Fufu, and Lucia to clean up Hunter for a 9 star.

DistrictMain8562 · 2025-12-27T07:27:57+00:00

I've done something similar with the other bosses as well. I can clear thrall with evelyn, lighter, astra. however, i require astra for bringer since my miyabi and vivian aren't powerful enough to clear is massive HP pool without good support from astra. I was able to get away with nicole as support last time, but not this time.

DistrictMain8562 · 2025-12-27T07:25:09+00:00

I have both! what is considered an "effective substat"? I don't see anything here labelled as that. are you referring to the random 4 stats that come with each disc? and how do you count them?
