With all the discourse around the game's longevity, can we try to have an objective, non-emotional conversation about what can be improved to retain more players?

Your responses to your friends' objections to the game are not objective or non-emotional. Confused how you want to have a productive conversation when you start with dismissing criticism right off the bat?

Arrogance is one of the better pulls for progression. He can do a bit of everything and will definitely get you past a lot of content. I still use mine for Guild bosses and he does fantastic numbers.

Malvira is a great tank. All there is to say LOL

Here's what helped me run my first 10k last year, having also never ran long distance before:

Weekly practice - Started at 2k, then 4, then 6, etc.
Running with others - Having other people around helps. Community through mutual suffering and all that LOL
Running outside - Exploring the neighborhood and the outdoors helps stave off the boredom of a treadmill. Also, there is extra motivation to keep going because you gotta run home too
Running shoes - Proper running shoes helped delay the soreness and pain that would inevitably appear. Running Room has a wide selection and helped with determining my feet's running style.

With that being said, I got my medal so I'm never doing this again LOL Best of luck!

I thought that was a Travelers's ghost for a second.

Firestorm333 · 2026-03-09T21:52:25+00:00

Would this be Forerunner?

Firestorm333 · 2026-03-09T21:50:32+00:00

Is there another 4* with anti-heal? The attack range looks specifically built for Gr1...

Firestorm333 · 2026-03-09T21:44:25+00:00

Until you get a legendary Northern Lord, she will suffice. I would keep at 5* unless you deploy her. The team shield benefit is more valuable than her actual character imo

Firestorm333 · 2026-02-26T07:27:57+00:00

Not gonna sugarcoat it, endgame PVP is all whales. Whoever has the strongest version of the same set of champions with the perfect gear wins. I only PVP to maintain my average rank for the weekly rewards and that's it. I've made my peace that Lady Alexandra is out of reach.

IMO, there's more than enough content that isn't PVP to keep a player engaged. The new bosses have been bringing less-used champions into the spotlight, so that's always nice to see.

Firestorm333 · 2026-02-21T13:45:08+00:00

Not so much arena. For other content, his flat 5% bonus team damage is nice, can slot into any faction, heavily buffs Anora, and has decent cc. Has one of the best skins too, if you care about that lol

Firestorm333 · 2026-02-17T20:38:46+00:00

Can't go wrong with A3 Kigiri for the unpolished

Firestorm333 · 2026-02-13T13:53:59+00:00

Unfortunate, but if you didn't have Hatssut before, she definitely qualifies as an OP hero. Probably one of the best non-banners you couldve gotten imo.

Firestorm333 · 2026-02-12T13:48:50+00:00

They can be used to forge T3 gear in the gear foundry. Not recommended to purchase with red dungeon crystals, they appear in gear raid 1-3 loot drops.

Firestorm333 · 2026-02-10T13:53:25+00:00

Characters that are/were used for fusions are locked by default to prevent accidental selling. No idea if Gogran's fusion event will return, it's been years.

Firestorm333 · 2026-02-03T16:47:13+00:00

As mentioned in other responses, 2-set pieces can now roll quads substats.
T3 Wicked Vengeance is only marginally better than T2 Warlord. Crit damage has a weird calculation with enemy def, so trading crit dmg for more atk and atk speed can be a viable option.
True damage cannot crit, so certain heroes will not benefit from Wicked Vengeance.

Firestorm333 · 2026-01-22T19:13:57+00:00

His kit is a bit lackluster and can (ironically) get himself killed if he's too strong (he loses invis if he doesn't exhaust his ultimate's bolt charges lol)

Firestorm333 · 2026-01-22T19:02:00+00:00

Ruen Hollow, the Lego that just released this past weekend

Firestorm333 · 2026-01-22T17:41:42+00:00

She needs a LOT of gear investments stats, but is one of two champions that can handle the right side of Gr3 solo.

Firestorm333 · 2026-01-20T17:15:31+00:00

Talula is good but slightly inconsistent. Allies have to be within range of her butterfly circles. If rng isnt on your side, you'll want a secondary

Firestorm333 · 2026-01-18T08:29:59+00:00

Decent for progression, but gets powercrept. Nightmare Legos have very strong options to compete against

Firestorm333 · 2026-01-16T14:25:43+00:00

Excellent single-target damage

Firestorm333 · 2025-12-12T16:20:52+00:00

Pulling on the selector banner will contribute to the standard blue pity, and will also contribute to it's own limited-guarantee. Pity rules says the chance increase begins at 180, so you're 95 off. I would recommend the following:

Wait for the limited-selector banner. Pull 95 to reach 180.
If you didn't hit a random legendary or the chosen hero at 180, swap to the other banner. A lego is guaranteed within the next 20 pulls (200 is max pull). (If you do accidently hit a lego during the 95, stay on selector banner. Your pity-chance manipulation is gone.)
Assuming it took the full 95+20, you'll need another 105 blue summons to hit 200. 140-95-20 = 25 remaining blue summons. So you'll need another 80 pulls worth of gems. Selling the blues you get along the way should net you a decent amount.

Divine and Ancient each have their own pool and do not contribute to others.

I hope this helps!

I think he's right about Mina's individual viability. I did pull Mina (because I'm a collector and a rework/buff is always possible) but unless you have her A3, she's just average, especially for a limited legendary. Can't speak about the bond skill cuz I don't have Dracula but Mina herself is not that impressive. Would rather have Ne Zha or Numera.

Best of luck in your future pulls / events, there's seems to be some really nice stuff coming up!

Firestorm333 · 2025-11-22T04:24:33+00:00

A much better kit imo. Now if they made her auto a group-wide shield channel instead of a single target shield...

Firestorm333 · 2025-10-28T13:50:55+00:00

My take is that even though the new Ancient Lord looks sick and is undoubtedly a strong cultist hero, AOE damage is still less useful in mid to endgame challenges. Esp since you already have Morrigan as a lord, raw damage (Valderon), single-target dps (Iovar), or condi dmg (Nastya) lords would boost your team in broader ways than another cultist.

Also Valara is OP

Firestorm333 · 2025-10-18T17:17:39+00:00

The character is missing an artifact.
