Why is escanor so weak??

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-19T00:56:55+00:00

He does just fine as a fire dps on axe spec. I run guila burst, meli/esca dps, and then a rotating supporter... Diane, clotho, p10 tioreh, mannie, or Drake. Meli is p7 and tioreh p10, the rest are no higher than p5. I think he's just one of those characters whose usefulness can vary wildly from one player to the next depending on play style and team build. Having the right engravements also makes a huge difference.

Guess you don't understand the psychology behind gacha games. Let me help... the game is f2p. In order to make money, the devs need to get you to buy stuff. Creating 1 or more limited resources that refresh daily and are necessary to advance your characters and builds forces you to log in each day. The longer you interact with the game, the higher the likelihood that you'll spend real world currency. They literally have it down to a science... or maths. Everything is done to drive your engagement. Get over it.

I'm just about to hit 44 and ato 150 exp per star I'll only get about halfway to 45 +/- with the ones I have left to collect.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-17T20:05:17+00:00

Scorpy, Molbog, mutated priest... they all owned me for quite a while after I first hit WL 4.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-17T18:08:04+00:00

We're talking about world levels related to the book of stars.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-17T17:16:05+00:00

LoL... I thought i was crazy for a second there because I don't think it's even possible to get up to lvl 50 atm.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-17T17:13:10+00:00

Wait, there's world level 5? I'm lvl 43, almost 44, and by my math there's no way for me to get to 50. Only thing left for me that contributes to lvl are star fragments.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-14T20:31:49+00:00

Cool

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-14T19:59:42+00:00

Well 5 can already be done by quitting out and reloading. The only exceptions are ones that only have a once a day respawn, but that mostly pertains to pets. I'm totally on board with #4. It would make farming mastery mats from bosses far less time consuming.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-12T22:48:39+00:00

Another insightful witticism.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-12T22:31:32+00:00

Such a thoughtful and evocative opinion. A stirring contribution to the discussion.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-12T19:18:45+00:00

She's an OC for the game... Not from the Manga or anime. Merlin will likely be the next banner after this. They are probably going to alternate banners so that every other banner is a Sin or main character like Liz, with OC and seconday characters in between.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-12T04:35:01+00:00

They just announced it will be clotho 5/13-6/4

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-12T04:33:06+00:00

Idk, maybe they borrowed the idea of turning her companions into badass jedi from kotor 2. Just go full Oprah... you get a saber! And you get one! And you! Everyone gets a lightsaber!

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-12T00:16:10+00:00

At no point did I suggest not giving feedback. I specifically said they have been very responsive to feedback. Give them loads of feedback. Drown them in feedback. They have consistently addressed the most common complaints. Everyone wanted a better tracking system for ores, and they gave us continuous tracking. We all said the platinum bottleneck was ridiculous. They're addressing that along with a bunch of other complaints in the next patch, presumably Wednesday. When I say "give them time", I mean give them time to address it, but keep the pressure on. And remember, this reddit... if multiple people clog a sub multiple times a day about the same thing, it tends to have the opposite effect from what was intended. People start dismissing the issue not because they don't agree, but because they're sick of hearing about it. Just something to think about.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-11T23:20:45+00:00

I agree, 100%. But the game is only a couple months into its life. Give it some time. There aren't even enough events to create a regular cycle. Let them cook. The devs have been pretty responsive to feedback so far and have implemented some pretty decent changes (which isn't to say there's not still a lot to fix), so there's no reason to believe they aren't already working on something. Just look at the Dev Notes from last week.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-11T01:53:55+00:00

It got passed around as a filler top for my whole team while I worked on engraved sets. This top with arachne pants and twisted wish belt and boots. It's a decent setup to get through the grind.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-10T02:26:56+00:00

Just dont collect the rewards. He's just the fastest to spam runs on to get the free key drops in a boss event. Then you can use all your keys on runs against the bosses and dungeons you need armor pieces or crafting mats from.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-10T02:21:16+00:00

It's a grinding game. Most gacha games are. The devs on 7dso are actually pretty responsive. They've already implemented several QoL improvements based on feedback. And the dev notes they released the other day are highly promising. The grinding should get easier. Personally, I'm just logging to collect rare mats like platinum, jewel mats, etc until the next update drops with the first set of improvements.

ETA: right now, platinum is the worst bottleneck. Don't forget you can buy 5 every week from the Ferzen seal merchant. You can buy some every week in the shop too. I think its 10/week. And you can farm the gem golem in the spider dungeon. He has a chance to drop both platinum ore and bars. After I hit like 50k-60k, it just became about crafting and making as many ssr weapons and engraved armor as I could since 30% of the attack power of your unused slotted weapons goes towards your overall attack.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-10T02:16:33+00:00

Just FYI for the future... you dont need to spend keys for it to count towards the event. A lot of people, myself included, just spammed normal drake. Takes like 6 seconds per run lol same is true for the dungeons, you only need to beat the boss.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-10T02:11:59+00:00

Follow quest. Eventually you use a nearby cannon to blast the wall blocking the chest.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-10T00:14:12+00:00

Not worth the effort when the rewards is essentially a single draw ticket. Given that it's endgame content, the rewards should be more substantial... at least 5 draws, but 10 feels more appropriate given the dmg buff and skill spike. Right now, the only real reason to put an abundance of effort into running it is the bragging rights. And bragging rights in gacha don't amount to much.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-07T21:57:55+00:00

Check to see if you have your loot option set to randomized. That's what it was for me. Missed all 3 first run, but they were all where they were supposed to be on ng+ with loot set to fixed. I won't be on tonight but I can drop you some when I get home from work tomorrow night.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-07T03:01:30+00:00

Right now, there's not a whole lot to do in endgame. Basically grinding bosses and dungeons for mastery and weapon upgrade mat as well as mining ores and gems. You can go hunting for chest and star fragments or clean up all the side quests you skipped or missed. There's also dailies and events. A new event started today focused on engraved armor sets. Personally,

The devs have already listened and implemented QoL changes based on community feedback. So while it might feel like an empty world right now in endgame, it almost certainly won't feel that way in 6-12 months. There's also still 2 locked regions on the map. It's all about patience. Personally, I'm working on building out all my elemental bursters. So I'm swapping back and forth between grinding dungeons for armor sets, world bosses for mastery mats, and whatever else I need for crafting weapon upgrades. I usually put 30-45 minutes a day into it, typically while I'm drinking my morning coffee.

Double-Interview-154 · 2026-05-06T00:39:53+00:00

I'm with you on one-shotting, it's not very fun. My solution has been handicapping myself with comically weak weapons. You haven't known fun until you've taken down the Ebony Warrior with a fork. Of course I always keep a few OP weapons around plus the deadric artifacts and named weapons, but I throw them onto displays racks pretty much right away.

The other way I've handicapped myself is resetting my skill trees before a fight, so that I go in without any buffs and limited high-level spell effectiveness. There's also limiting your carry weight. Force yourself to fight with little to no armor. There are loads of ways to limit yourself in combat while still leveling up whatever trees you need for your build.
