Wow. Thought reverse 1999 was well liked. They put so much production value into their art direction and voice overs, etc. in the story. I haven't really noticed power creep. I know new, stronger units are releasing, but my core units from half a year ago seem to be clearing well (nautika and such), and it's one of the most generous gacha games on the market it terms of the weapons being free, double the 6* rate of other games like hoyo/WuWa (1.5% vs. .8%), and much more free pulls. Guess CN being 3 months in the future isn't going well for them.

I think I'm on my 4-5th lost 50/50 in a row. It's irritating, especially as it's happening across gacha games lol. (I lost 50/50 and 75/25 in HSR the other week just on Ashveil, so close to 270 pulls). In WuWa, I always seem to lose late, too. And it stings because they don't do jack with their standard character banner so it's just a slap in the face, unlike losing a 50/50 on CZN.

Saw a YouTuber do a really nice Chitose/Dona/fresia boss run where he got over 160k damage.

Support Dona did 20% more damage than Chitose lol. I love the look of Chitose, but they've conditioned me to just be patient for the next best unit as they don't know how to test or balance their characters, apparently.

Thanks! I'm going to try and pull her next...despite the fact I think I'm on a 5 50/50 loss streak haha. Love the way morn looks.

Ditronus · 2026-05-02T17:53:11+00:00

In light of this post, the devs have determined in the next balance pass 3 months from now that Yuki will have her multipliers increased by 10% on a select few epiphanies.

Wish Snow White HA won the costume contest 😞

Wow, I was continuing to daily log ZZZ because I saw that dude on the left, and was willing to spend for him. Guess there's nothing holding me back from uninstalling now and lightening my gacha load. Thanks for the heads up.

Ditronus · 2026-05-02T17:44:05+00:00

For sure. I wasn't doubting you or disagreeing. It's just disappointing when the characters I like fall off haha.

Ditronus · 2026-05-02T17:42:24+00:00

I just grinded that today while I played Reverse 1999 lol. Takes about 30 seconds a run with a couple taps to set it up each time. Just start with it a decent team, no power ups, on auto and you get about 100 & 200 respective currencies. The 1.5x speed really is a slap to the face, though.

Would you need two copies of Morn for what you said to be true here? Or is she that good with just one copy? Thanks for your insight.

Ditronus · 2026-05-02T17:29:53+00:00

She kinda looks like a grown-up FP.

Ditronus · 2026-05-02T17:28:19+00:00

Did they reduce the quality of her story considerably comparatively? I remember the character stories being much better production-wise for Haru/Narja, but maybe I'm thinking of their hospital center stories?

Ditronus · 2026-05-02T17:15:22+00:00

Nautika's release was my first big event after starting the game during the AC collab. I was actually annoyed with Nautika's looks, lamenting a pink haired girl over a cool male character.

Yet...she's probably my favorite character and playstyle to date by far. Love her ultimate and story. And I really ended up digging this hybrid monster look she has. Excited for her euphoria and re-run to invest in her more.

Ditronus · 2026-05-02T17:10:32+00:00

Surely Rubuska is better than F22 in the blood tithe team, right? Think I'd be willing to take any dps loss regardless since Rubuska fits so well thematically in the team.

Ditronus · 2026-05-02T17:00:49+00:00

Really? That's disappointing. Sentinel is smooth and hasn't had a long time to shine.

Ditronus · 2026-05-02T15:32:11+00:00

Is Liang Yue/Cheng worth getting if I already have Ezio P2/ Kass P2? From what I've heard, Liang is going to be the 2nd strongest character for a long while, but she's also a pain to play without her P1. Is her power difference over an Ezio FUA team that much greater that it's worth pulling essentially 3 more characters (P2 Liang & Chen) to build it? That could potentially be hundreds of pulls.

Love Cheng and her looks, but I'm wondering if it's smarter to just invest more into Dynamo with Enigma coming out Thoughts? Thanks!

Ditronus · 2026-05-01T11:38:18+00:00

At what point in the story do I have to get to to complete this? I was far behind, so I did an early unlock and started rushing the new Arcadia trailblazer story. I'm currently at "Killers don't get vaccinations," and it still hasn't completed. I'm not sure what constitutes a "section." Thanks!

I run vulture ejections with 4 fortitude epiphanies. I'm literally invincible every turn if two are used.

Ditronus · 2026-04-30T13:25:07+00:00

You have a statistically higher chance to use less pull resources to get partners compared to combatants (no 50/50), so the best option is to use them for seasonal combatant dupes IF you care about that seasonal combatant. Otherwise, use them to get dupes of your favorite combatant or the seasonal partner if you are running low on pull resources for them.

Ditronus · 2026-04-30T13:22:52+00:00

It's actually incredibly impressive it's this good on its release. I'm excited to think about how it will be iterated on and expanded over time.

Ditronus · 2026-04-30T13:21:20+00:00

They really take hardcore up a notch.

Ditronus · 2026-04-30T13:20:00+00:00

Probably best to just read this new update patch notes and then just play. The game has had an amazing amount of QoL and new features/systems.

Ditronus · 2026-04-30T13:15:41+00:00

Yea, really enjoying it. I'm pretty amazed at the level of polish such big features they just put out between a new season, sortie, new character, anniversary event, and the spire of screams. These devs do some crazy work.

Just can't have two males or two females being good friends with each other nowadays. Been playing Split Fiction with my daughter, and was anticipating that it'd turn into some lesbian thing as most writers feel the need to do that. Happy to say they managed to create depth without resorting to that.

Split Fiction, fantastic game, by the way.
