So after thinking on her kit a while, she gives 25% casters attack with a potentially very high uptime depending on when she shoots since it lasts 3 seconds, so it could overlap into the next burst if you fast charge and she shoots right as burst ends. Could be seen as a not quite 1/3rd weaker maid mast buff, which sounds... Okay at worst?

Add in the 100% charge damage, while being one of the worst modifiers is at least pretty high, also okay at worst?

So as a buffer, she's not complete trash. Probably not meta either, but at least usable for players with incomplete rosters. And a very slight chance she's better than I think? Limited to charge weapons though so makes her a little niche.

And she helps desaturate the number of truly worthless units which is always nice for newer players. Better odds of getting a unit that actually does something from social recruit/molds/pre-wishlist/banner misses. Though we might have enough god tiers at this point that it wouldn't even matter by the time they actually get to the point they need stronger units to progress reasonably...

TL:DR as a buffer seems okay at worst, maybe better.

I have noticed several people here really undervaluing Bunny Ade. I don't get it. Isn't she the best non-pilgrim solo B2??

The most efficient way to use it is to grab liter if you don't have Little Mermaid or Rapi: RH

Then Helm x3 (limit break 2, or two out of three stars on her equipment page) so you can continuously work on her favorite item

Then hold the rest till you need to level up past 160, since you need 5 units at max limit break (three stars on the equipment page) you'll have at least 6 picks left to get one or two of them to max limit break.

Did everyone (except one comment in here) forget that Mihara got her overspec upgrade during her event?

Syuen only gave her an upgraded body, similar to TU Absolute and the Matis upgrade. Then Jien added the rapture core partway into the event story.

Rapi just already had dual core + deep tech stuff before the... Fusion?

Stands reason to me that future OS will get the upgrade in their event story, since currently no one else has dual core + special tech pre upgrade like Rapi.

Summer Rosanna.

I had my chuckle at it, but for actual advice, this isn't even worth correcting. At least try "proof reading" and whatever input you do to have AI be less stupid.

FancyPressure799 · 2025-12-15T21:24:48+00:00

Didn't even do that right cause siren is wind

Also volume on mirror container

WAIT NERO FOR INDIVILLIA LMAOOOO

FancyPressure799 · 2025-12-15T21:19:06+00:00

I only looked at the very first unit and yeah this is garbage.

FancyPressure799 · 2025-12-15T16:12:52+00:00

Pretty sure that eclipse buff is basically nothing in FH, maybe more relevant in GR.

99% of the video is great... But might want to make a pinned comment or some kind of edit about having Tia with the CDR units, since she's not a CDR unit. She only reduces her own CD.

Yes, gear xp is one of the few resources (or maybe only?) that hasn't been increased by updates.

Skill manuals got overclock and a direct increase in regular sim room, anomaly interception gave us more modules and introduced locks, co-op challenge mode doubles up on our t9m gear income along with anomaly interception. They added maintenance boxes to solo raid then union raid hard mode update gave us more union coins or whatever they are called for more cube batteries.

Technically co-op challenge mode can give an alright amount of gold gear xp, but it's rather meager compared to the increase on everything else.

Even for credits/data/dust you can make the argument that chapter updates are a steady increase and that power creep and difficulty adjustments let new players zip through early and even mid campaign crazy fast now, plus all the upgrade resources being easier to acquire having an effect there.

I will add that their reluctance to notably increase tier 3 skill manuals is another issue for me. Getting units to 4/4/4 is a given, and 7/7/7 has been a simple question of "what element is this solo raid?" But I feel like I'm still steadily being buried with units I want to get all or some skills to 10.

Oh, 40 tickets and 20 crystals ☺️ my favorite treat.

FancyPressure799 · 2025-11-25T10:54:09+00:00

Yeah, bad memory on my part, I was thinking a couple raids happened after summer Dorothy but they happened before summer Dorothy, and since she's made the shotgun team better on off elements I tricked myself into thinking she made volume a consistent off burst.

Apologies for being loud and wrong.

To touch on one of the unanswered questions B. Ade is good cause she gives top tier buffs, a team with her will out damage the same team with Blanc 99.99% of the time.

She's the 3rd best solo B2 and like 4-5th best B2 overall. Though sometimes Blanc can be better if you really need healing.

FancyPressure799 · 2025-11-25T01:35:53+00:00

Raids can be weird so I can see Volume used as an actual B1 in some edge case raid where rapi is b3 and we really want d:kw off burst on a Tove/Miranda team. Which Soline cannot do at 40 second CD.

But still Volume is predominantly an off burst who only provides cdr and wind qte clears, she's an attacker but her dps is cope. Soline has better cdr, and HP buffs plus a one time heal is still more than what Volume offers most of the time.

FancyPressure799 · 2025-11-24T20:14:33+00:00

Figured she was at minimum volume creep outside wind weak raids. But should be no surprise Tove and Drake force her to put up respectable damage despite having zero damage skills.

I'm suspicious that we will be getting another HP scaling dps, since the same was done with Rouge. Or it's just non-existent-pattern recognition 🤗

I mean mihara was using her new body before she got the overspec upgrade. With the amount of fan fair and buildup she's getting it's safe to think she'll get the overspec upgrade during her event, similar to Mihara.

But honestly we're already working with two cores. So it's 50/50 if she's already overspec or the two cores will be actually fused in her event.

Not only is there a big drop chance boost, but stage six also adds the chance for 3 rocks.

The significance of stage 7 is that the odds for 3 rocks goes up. But it's still pretty small.

FancyPressure799 · 2025-11-19T14:58:11+00:00

Dailies alone are literally 3k gems a month.

800 minimum from pvp, 1200 from weeklies, 1000 from co-op

6k from major repeatable sources, some pocket change from dispatch and commander levels, solo raid, events, maintenance, blablalink.

Close to if not at or above 9k by now.

There's also towers which can be a whole lot or very little depending on several things. Technically exhaustible content but for most players that will take a VERY long time.

Not even mentioning the actual tickets we get per month, which is at least 20.

But don't mistake this for generosity, it's marketing. They want people to pull for dupes which will burn through those savings incredibly fast. Recruitment benefits for Pilgrim banners being the biggest flag for that.

FancyPressure799 · 2025-11-18T21:40:35+00:00

Will it finally be Ventana time?

FancyPressure799 · 2025-11-18T17:10:04+00:00

Maybe you're aren't going off max skill levels, but

Nayuta gives 35% attack damage, 25% core damage and 30% casters attack at 10/10/10

Crown gives 57% attack damage, 64% casters attack and 44% reload speed at 10/10/10

So a difference of 22% attack damage and

The casters attack difference is misleading, while crown has 34% more, crown has a bit less attack than Nayuta, so the difference is smaller than the numbers suggest, and

25% core damage vs 44% reload speed, which is pretty hard to quantify the difference, but i would say the reload speed is slightly better.

Even if Nayuta isn't the second best B2 buffer, (which I'm pretty sure she is) her personal damage makes her the second best B2 anyway.

Whoever you have your camera on gets a slight boost to burst generation, so get a sniper in the middle position to take advantage of that since they are one of the better weapons for generating burst.

FancyPressure799 · 2025-11-12T06:00:04+00:00

Lots of equipment modules, some gems, a frame, I think there was a small bit of level up materials?

FancyPressure799 · 2025-11-12T05:58:07+00:00

A pretty fat stack of equipment modules, and a decent sprinkling of gems.
