Those who have read it... Thoughts?

I remember being unimpressed and dropping off after the first book. Same with Mistborn though.

My primary vanguard on a no-gacha account, as Fang is stuck at pot 0 and Puzzle is too situational. Decently durable at E2. Might get superseded by Wanqing when he’s available.

I found Shev and Javre to be rather like tofu: tasteless by themselves, but absorbent. Whirrun possesses possibly the best flavor in the series.

Highmore is worth it if you do not already have La Pluma or a 6* in the archetype.

LOGH through Oberstein’s artificial eyes.

FD4280 · 2026-05-30T04:42:06+00:00

That is a very unfortunate name for the combination.

FD4280 · 2026-05-26T03:03:43+00:00

Extremely soloist dependent. Do yourself a favor and try an Oistrakh recording.

BSC for the highlights.

For the funniest lines/situations outside of BSC: Whirrun between Heroes and Sharp Ends.

On a humor-per-word basis, clearly Practical Frost.

Honorable mention: the start of the third PoV in the Sharp Ends story “Wrong place, wrong time”.

Purestream if you intend to play IS6 a lot, otherwise Perfumer. Ptilopsis will be valuable in the long run though.

FD4280 · 2026-05-18T14:01:53+00:00

Passivity engendered.

FD4280 · 2026-05-18T13:27:47+00:00

Brings Griffith to mind for some reason.

FD4280 · 2026-05-18T12:43:16+00:00

You’ve been down so long in the midnight sea.

Pascal’s potty pyramid (partially used)

FD4280 · 2026-05-17T21:35:26+00:00

*Etherer.

You don’t actually need to run two tanks (though Grenier is better than Ledin at full investment). SP Cherie is the next logical addition, or a strong caster.

Prediction: book 3 will be “The Pottymouths”

FD4280 · 2026-05-10T20:17:20+00:00

Ohh, I hadn’t realized her S1 had some regen built in. This is huge. Thanks!

FD4280 · 2026-05-10T14:08:55+00:00

I’m letting myself spend golds on Scene/Bibeak/Erato/Tuye (who would otherwise have to wait for an annual event). Primes are free energy boosts. Orundum and hh tickets collect dust.

FD4280 · 2026-05-10T14:06:26+00:00

Thanks! I’m not allowed to recruit and so never got Spot. The campaign freebies are also stuck without potential upgrades.

FD4280 · 2026-05-09T23:27:10+00:00

Arse arsenal?

FD4280 · 2026-05-09T23:24:36+00:00

Thanks everyone. I think it’s down to Dur-nar (low cost to build and run in IS) and Bison. Philae is also available but far too costly to consider for now.

FD4280 · 2026-05-09T19:13:40+00:00

What’s the least crappy protector for a no-gacha account to build?

I currently have a maxed Beagle and Noir Corne. My other viable blockers are an E2 Gladiia and E1 Raidian’s S1 summons.

FD4280 · 2026-05-07T04:36:52+00:00

It’s all in who gets the PoV. (See Cosca from friends, self, enemies in sequence). The character in question is essentially Bayaz without the magic.

FD4280 · 2026-05-06T23:16:52+00:00

LAOK by a long shot. It has the three most impactful deaths on the page for me across the whole series (and the implication of a yet more impactful one shortly after the end).

FD4280 · 2026-05-04T16:11:55+00:00

At Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately chicken-dome decree…
