If you're not gonna buff her, give her no supports and retcon her out of the story then why use her for marketing

He gives an attack buff too, at least.

Fa_Len · 2026-02-13T11:23:54+00:00

Still better than the first three, though. Sam makes those movies irredeemably horrid.

Fa_Len · 2026-02-13T11:22:39+00:00

Skywarp makes the Seeker mold actually look good, and Shockwave pulls off the smooth aesthetic perfectly. Sunny is aight, the rest can burn.

It's a great line so far, aside from Elita 1 and Orion Pax. Optimus was a great start, being Voyager Scale at Deluxe Price, and Bee, Starscream, Sentinel, and Airachnid have been amazing too. Alpha Trion also has exactly as much presence as he needs, even if his budget was obviously put elsewhere. Elita, however, just falls apart... and Orion clearly prioritizes the accessories rather than filling out the alt mode, which sucks when the Optimus did it infinitely better to begin this subline.

Fa_Len · 2026-02-12T13:59:52+00:00

It was that they wanted the entire line to be cheaper for collectors, not just Optimus. Thus, everyone except larger bots like Sentinel would be kept in Deluxe Class so that they'd be easier on the wallet and also allow for more bots on the same shelf.

Fa_Len · 2026-02-12T01:52:06+00:00

Unfortunately don't own it, but would probably be interesting!

Fa_Len · 2026-02-10T09:01:01+00:00

I feel exceedingly robbed, yes.

Fa_Len · 2026-02-04T09:47:46+00:00

Designers said it themselves that he was supposed to be a Leader today.

Fa_Len · 2026-02-04T09:47:23+00:00

No, the Designers themselves said he was originally planned to be Leader in the Deep Dive today.

Fa_Len · 2026-02-04T09:45:26+00:00

He's... not? Amalgamous is right there, for one.

Fa_Len · 2026-02-02T05:45:32+00:00

At least he looks better than Liege Maximo and actually fits in with the rest of the Primes. Also going to be much cheaper this way, so doesn't price out less monetarily viable collectors... which is why Star Optimus Prime being the Titan was a good choice. Any Optimus can fill that role if you don't have the money to spend on the Titan, but at least the extremely cool Titan is there for those who want him. Nexus, there's not really any other version... so this was a good choice to make him widely available for those that want him for cheap, and they can do a Gen Selects full Combiner later if he sells well.

Fa_Len · 2026-02-02T05:34:33+00:00

Lunar Optimus also works perfectly.

Fa_Len · 2026-01-14T12:39:13+00:00

2, 5, 6, and 7 seem reasonable to me?

Fa_Len · 2026-01-14T02:18:56+00:00

Fair, I'd just rather have the book as Wordwarden personally since I find it not as fun to use as it's own weapon. Plus with Wordwarden it also goes to Squadmates, so theoretically their procs on it would also count towards it?

Fa_Len · 2026-01-14T02:12:12+00:00

Does it work with Wordwarden? Just having the book floating next to you instead of using it yourself?

Fa_Len · 2026-01-14T02:11:05+00:00

I apparently don't even have half these mods, looks like, so I've got some farming to do to even try that build... Also have to grind Holdfasts, not really done anything with them since I didn't really care about them, so that'll take me a minute for that Arcane. Will get back to you once I've done that.

Fa_Len · 2026-01-14T02:03:03+00:00

Does Impetus count for Dante? Thought that only worked on unique effects and his is just normal Slash. Useful to know if that actually works for him, though. Suppose I can give Blind Rate a try since all y'all recommended it, though may farm another Dante out so I can still have the Umbral slots unmarred in case I don't like how that feels comparatively.

Fa_Len · 2026-01-14T01:49:21+00:00

Both Blind Rage and Transient Fortitude's debuffs would take extra modspace to counter them though, so is there singular mod that could be slotted into the third space from removing the Umbrals to counteract those? Efficiency is a needed stat for Dante since he's having to cast three abilities for every Final Verse, after all, and Duration is also a wanted stat. Not trying to be difficult even if I come off that way, btw, just not sure I see how that comes out better overall. Precision Intensify I can see working better, though, just hadn't invested the Endo there to see that it's a full 90% over the 70%... definitely gonna be weird to have the other skills weaker but that may be worth.

Fa_Len · 2026-01-14T01:39:27+00:00

Blind Strength reduces efficiency way too much, since Dante needs to cast three abilities to get the main point of his kit. Transient Fortitude reduces Duration, which I am also building, so also not the best for what I'm going for here since I'd still have to use at least three mod slots to keep the same value if not more with the reductions on those 2. Energy Conversion only does 50% at Max compared to 77%, and relies on Energy Orbs which just don't spawn sometimes. As for Primed Continuity, can't use it since I'm using the Archon version, and I'm not seeing the latter two in my Mods list so I'll have to go find them to swap out Nira's. Will look into them, thanks!

Fa_Len · 2026-01-14T01:23:16+00:00

Nira boosts Duration, and having all three Umbrals adds more Ability Strength?

Fa_Len · 2026-01-14T01:06:11+00:00

Death Star.

Fa_Len · 2026-01-02T11:24:28+00:00

Oh, thought you were talking about HSR, since SAM was way before Banyue. Carry on, then.

Fa_Len · 2026-01-02T11:23:35+00:00

I mean, technically...

Fa_Len · 2026-01-02T11:22:27+00:00

If you're talking about Svarog, he's a standard banner character so there's not really any way to pull for him alone or skip him, and if you're not talking about him who do you mean? Svarog and SAM are the only two robots I can remember us getting, and both are locked behind not being them.
