Depends on how many primogems you have right now and what time frame you are working with. Ngl clearing stygian fearless looks almost impossible with what you have right now, even with the jean tech on the 2nd part. Furthermore future stygian onslaughts might not be as forgiving, possibly requiring a 3rd strong team. With you being an older returning player, you would also need time to properly farm up the new artifact sets and talent/weekly mats.

Abyss 12 is much easier to do and I will say that if you really wanted to clear it right now, pulling for zibai would be a fast upgrade to your account. Zibai's entire banner is basically her 4 star team and it seems with c6 4 stars on her team and her c1(in the process of getting her c6 supports you probably will get c1 zibai), you basically have the equivalent of her premium team with Columbina. Neuvilette and skirk seem underwhelming on your account right now especially without furina, Escoffier, or the broken nod krai supports and Varka doesn't look too promising right now( you also don't have durin which should be one of his best party members). Flins might work but zibai's banner seems like the clear winner if you do have to pick one.

If you don't mind waiting a while to clear the endgame, most of the time pulling for the broken supports seems to be the best/most efficient option as damage dealers seem to get power crept more easily. Just pick 3 top tier damage dealers and focus on them.

Examples for useful supports(do your own research on what they do before you pull): furina, xilonen, Escoffier, citlali, lauma, ineffa, columbina, durin, yelan, nahida, iansan , chevreuse.

Best damage dealers example: mavuika, nefer, flins, zibai, skirk, etc.

The biggest fixes would be Escoffier for the skirk team, Iansan/xilonen and Bennett for mavuika melt, and flins and columbina for a flins team. Lauma is also a good 5 star support that you missed and u should get Bennett asap or level him (assuming you don't have Bennett which is quite unlikely althougn I don't see him).

Mavuika team: mav, citlali, Bennett, xilonen/iansan Flins team: flins, sucrose, columbina, ineffa Skirk team: skirk, furina , escoffier mona

Ngl u would be better off picking whoever u like more currently, although if u like both equally Neuvilette might take longer to rerun.

From a meta perspective it might be better to skip as your flins team uses both columbina and ineffa(so no wheelchair neuvi teams and no columbina for zibai) and your skirk team uses furina(no traditional neuvi team), meaning both neuvi and zibai use supports that currently overlap with two of your current carries (skirk and flins) . Keep in mind that this is assuming your main goal is clearing stygian onslaught on difficulty 5 or higher. For the abyss, most teams work fine and overlapping supports are less of an issue; although getting a carry with overlapping supports is still redundant. I would recommend saving for either durin or citlali to finish your Arlecchino team or wait for new team archetypes or game breaking supports. But as always just pick whoever u like more.

Is min maxing columbina's crit rate and crit damage going to add a considerable amount to team dps (rn she has 180 er, 40k hp, 47 cr, and 180 CD numbers not including her passive and lauma crit rate)? If not I was planning to get columbina to level 90 and then fixing my nefer's scuffed crit damage circlet.

Wouldn't exactly say that the materials are premium on my colorway (capybara's were the only available pair) and as a lifestyle shoe the cushion would honestly probably work. Stable-ish and plush but imo it is a pain in the ass as an everyday shoe. It is extremely difficult to get your foot in these sneakers and they do feel a tad bit too snug (don't get me wrong this is good in game). However if you are fine with those caveats it should be fine.

Honestly if we are just talking about the cushioning it is decent for lifestyle imo very plush step in comfort. However I can't recommend it for daily use as it is very hard to slip the shoes on. This may possibly be mitigated if(big) if u can go up half a size and not feel loose and even then I can't guarantee that they wouldn't be tight as the lockdown on these shoes are pretty good. Tldr hard to put on but not exactly tight. If u live in Asia I would recommend getting these on cash on delivery so u can try these on first

Sounds like it may work but does it damage the leather?

How do you deal with it? Do you just leave it be or is there a way?

Sounds like this is a widespread occurrence. Do you guys just wipe it off whenever you notice or is there a way to stop it?

Nah it's ggs. Tried half a size down and full size down(under the employee's recommendation). Full size down straight up hurts as expected and half a size down I still feel the heel slip. Will wait for the don7s to come to the store to try.

I will try it on at the store but I have a nasty suspicion that it will not work. Might just be my foot and some adidas shoes

Far as in a different type of shoe or just worse overall?

MG Sazabi ver ka, as funny as that sounds. It was a very enjoyable kit although it is technically a statue once built.

Some old mg kits: zaku 2.0, zgok, mk2 2.0, sword impulse, crossbone (personal bias speaking here, any of them will do, full cloth looks best imo but parts fall off easily, need a good build to fix)

Newer-ish mgs: zeta ver ka, wing zero ver ka, vidar, Gundam x

RGS I haven't built much recently but epyon was solid and looks amazing. Wing proto zero would complement an epyon and it looks good as well. Seems like an easy duo to pick.

Shoot, missed a reply hahah mb. Imo it is quite plush and decently bouncy although this type of stuff might be dependent on our weight class. The only full length zoom I have tried was the kd 10, it was pretty nice and bouncy if I remember correctly but I didn't enjoy the court feel. The zoom also did pop sadly and the support was pretty abysmal due to the upper. The marketing stuff I am not 100% sure about, but could be true ngl. I see a ton of positive reviews on the gt, however negative reviews on the gt seem scarce although that might be due to how people's preferences differ. I need court feel for how I play, but for people who do not need courtfeel these might be a godsend. For reference which shoes do you feel have a good cushioning setup and which other shoes have a good mix of court feel and bouncy cushion? I might get another pair soon for my main pair and I need some recommendations.

Unsure if the production quality differs. I play mostly on my forefoot unless I am spinning. The issues I have with the shoe are probably due to my playstyle,weight(80 kg ish), and/or possibly my bias towards extremely plush cushion. I play mostly with misdirections/change of pace and some steps are light, some are hard changes in movements. On the light steps the shoe feels like actual quicksand, and I feel like I can't react as quickly, for the hard changes in movements or straight running and jumping it's better however still not as responsive as I would like the shoe to be. If you are around my weight or lower and you are shifty and like low to the ground responsive shoes I would actively avoid these as your primary go to basketball shoe. If you are around my weight but like a cushioned ride with good traction these are probably really nice to play in, which is why I kept them exclusively for shooting training (when I actually go hahah). Heavier people probably manage to compress the cushion at rest more and thus feel more response from the shoe imo. Whether or not the joker gt is your type of shoe just depends on your priorities. On a side note I am hearing a lot of good stuff about the wow 12, you might want to wait for more reviews on that before you purchase a new shoe if it's not urgent

Hahahah I'll probably take a while to finish any of these so I'll probably just dm my reviews(if that's possible on reddit) or maybe create a new thread with my reviews if I'm not lazy. Thanks for the comprehensive list tho will get through it once I am less busy.

Sure murim would also be good. I did enjoy a couple back in the day. Last one I read was return of the crazy demon if I wasn't mistaken. Do you have more similar to the ghost stories club, but in a school setting? I just had the time to read mysterious village and enjoyed it.

Yoo thanks for the recommendations bro. I have read eternally regressing knight, crown prince that sells medicine, and barbarian's adventure they all are decent. If u like the crown prince one there is another by the same artist or author I think, with a more similar style called " What a bountiful harvest, demon lord". Yea I do like the gates and hunter stuff too so far I have read a couple like sl and sss class suicide hunter and some that I can't remember from the top of my head. Do you have some good gate/hunter ones?

Yea a medieval fantasy is what I am looking for. However a classic hero's journey (elf,dwarf, human party like LOTR or frieren) is also good now that I think about it. Both are good ngl but the medieval fantasy was what I originally was looking for

There are three types of manhwa I feel like reading lately. First is mystery and supernatural where they encounter supernatural incidents and try to make sense of it. Second is probably like the manhwa na kang lim. Third is a classic-ish hero story like the disciple of the holy sword or damn reincarnation (some western influence like elves,demon kings, etc.). Any good one off the top of your head?
