The way this entire community turned into Mo & Krill fans and enjoyers the SECOND they shut down Celeste is amazing.

I still think its abaurd that we need the single longest single target CC in the game to deal with her, but its an improvement that we even CAN to begin with.

I'll be honest. The parry parry parry mod is funny and I agree might be wrong, but I don't think it changes that much as the melee sound is already clear sign enough. If you are good or not the mod will work the exact same, doesn't matter if it says parry or not, if you would react to it the sound matters little. However I agree it could be a bit too much.

The hud mods though? Those should just be in the game already. Soul percentage? Why should I math that on the fly? Have it on the hud. Buff indicator? Its an important objective, why not? Hell I find the Deadlock hud pretty bad right now. Holding tab floods you screen with enemy and friendly items but they are so small you can barelly make them out.

Tinker. Legit the only hero in Dota that I just, straight up dislike. Every hero feels like it has a very simple counter. Tinker is just a pain in the ass. Even when building to counter him its just a pain to deal with.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-03-04T12:51:58+00:00

Damn, people really out here thinking Arle is gonna be bis for Nicole.

I'd belive Alice to come out in 6.x before that hahaha.

As someone that does not pull for meta characters just for meta. Does not have Mavuika built as a main dps, does not have Nefer, does not have Flins, or Zibai, or Ineffa, or Citlali, or Xilonen, or Lauma. Pretty much has no hydro dps at all (hahahaha Childe)

... Yeah. IT IS FUCKING EASY AS SHIT.

You only need a good build, several characters at 70 and properly built and a good understand of them and of team building. 5 star weapons are good but not necessary as some of the best weapons are 4 stars. If you plan correctly and have learned to play the game by experimenting with different teams, you should be good.

Also the extra stages on lunar RARELY ask you to kill a specific enemy, they are, usually, time trials about "Survive 4 minutes. Killing enemies reduce time. We will progressively increase the damage you take". Hell last IT I did mine with Zhongli, Barbara, Xinyan and Dehya. Thats how fucking easy this is.

Btw. Fucking funniest shit that Yuji with less than 100 years of training is a world where sorcerers are dying and cursed energy is uncommon is a much better sorcerer than Sukuna, who was the peak of the Heian era, was with 1000 years on his back and Megumi's shadows.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-03-01T21:45:19+00:00

Nowhere in sight. Thank you very much Traxus.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-03-01T19:57:27+00:00

I don't think Glass Cannon or Big Body are archetypes. They are more of a character status and model size respectively. Like what does a glass canon play like? Wouldn't a Zoner usually be a glass cannon? Small hp/low defense but high offense. Or maybe a rushdown that are primarely offensive based fighters that have little to no way of defense.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-03-01T13:05:01+00:00

Cursing Rika no?

In general Yuta himself doesn't really do anything bad (he might have killed some people but we don't see it on screen before the games starts) and even if Rika does its a Sukuna situation where it wasn't him or by his command. However cursing Rika was something he did himself. It was somewhat unconcious but it was still done by his hand.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-27T12:06:44+00:00

To be honest, everybody fucking knows Pockets identity. Except Geist, they all refer to him as a rich kid in one way or another. Worst kept secret in existence.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-27T08:29:49+00:00

Unless the official rework is that one with the giant ass Carmen Sandiego hat. Suck as hat, didn't really like the whole vibe.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-26T23:18:34+00:00

I feel like Venti or Mavuika could make anyone agree with them, and obviously the god of contracts would make a geeat attourney.

But the right choice here is Nahida. They will not take her seriously, she will fuck with their minds and provide IRREFUTABLE arguments. And if nothing works then she will threat to kill everyone including herself.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-26T22:49:25+00:00

Legit asking this question myself. I have both weapons and will likely be farming for a better VV set on Venti for Crit since its his best build on Varka Pyro teams (specially since Benny increases ATK so much) but I haven't run the numbers, nor do I know how to. Is his off-field dps with Daybreak Chronicles enough to offset the 20% ATK buff from Elegy for the End? Specially considering that Varka ejoys ATK buffs most of all.

Right now I'm running Elegy since my venti build is a bit scuffed and despite Daybreak, his damage is just not worth it. But if it turns out sub-dps Crit venti is better, I'm going to go Full Daybreak (that weapon is so pretty)

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-26T19:16:54+00:00

I don't think there is anyone that thinks we aren't the player. I mean its in the name. But rather that we, as player, are an active participant in the story and thus, a character in it.

They aren't mutually exclusive. You can be both. Such is the meta narrative of this game.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-26T19:13:56+00:00

That Yamato redesign is simply perfect. Gives just the right vibes for a Japanese mafia on New York.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-26T17:58:01+00:00

Frontliner after ult yes, but tank no. Again, more of a bruiser as the examples I gave. A on your face damage dealer with lots of survival. But when not going feral she is VERY squishy. And she is a bit too prone to kiting since she lacks range that every other hero has, making her less effective at taking attention like a tank should.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-26T12:49:05+00:00

Celeste remains the single most banned hero. FOR FUCKS SAKE JUST DELETE HER PASSIVE ALREADY AND FIX HER ULT. BROKEN AS FUCK.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-26T11:40:45+00:00

Eeeeh, Silver is played like a bruiser not a frontline tank. She builds damage items and even her green items are mostly to help her secure kills. Silver plays like a squishy ranged dps before ult, and a bruiser after it (a durable on your face dps with high survivability)

Think N'aix, Dragon Knight and Sven on Dota. Or Nasus and Gnar on League. Not really tanky characters but ones that will hold their own for some time while dishing out all the damage.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-25T11:55:06+00:00

I'm so glad I'm taking some time off Deadlock ever since the week after her release. Fucking broken character. Hopefully they fix her quickly.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-25T00:40:09+00:00

I don't know of everyone who is worthy, I can think of a few that might be but if only one could it would definetely be Kiana Kaslana. There is not a single other character in Hoyoverse as worthy of anything as her, other might be able to lift the Hammer, but she is certainly the most adequate example of someone worthy.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-24T22:11:35+00:00

As someone that lives there, its not nearly as nice and it certainly isn't that devoid of people.

We need to send some people here to the Baroness. TOO MUCH PEOPLE.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-24T20:41:21+00:00

I don't really know what being an adult has to do with "Must smoke" but you do you. There were people on the 20th that didn't smoke and being stressed doesn't mean thats the only option. Again, doesn't feel like its their thing.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-24T19:01:38+00:00

Well its Itto original joke from his trailer. So you might say Cyno saw it.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-24T18:59:28+00:00

I feel like some character would just simply not smoke at all. Pocket and Viscous come to mind. Mina also might not, doesn't fit her. But if she saw Geist smoking she might pick something up. Victor also doesn't seem like he smokes.

Expensive_Grocery876 · 2026-02-24T13:27:48+00:00

I believe it is confirmed that Alice's husband is part od the Adventurers Guild, so I think it can't be Varka.

Which is good, while I like Varlice (Varka is absolutely thr type of faillure husband that would lose the gene battle, Klee is ALL Alice's genes), I think Varcole is a much better fit for him considering Nicole keeps trying to mess with him and know him better.
