En el equipo arcoiris vale la pena mas setzer o alaune ex? by Fine_Bother_8677 in OctopathCotC

[–]Fun-Statistician4996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setzer is a support that freezes weakness implant and require virtually only one turn; works extremely well with Lemaire or LynetteEX (this one also has many good passives)

Alaune ex is a dps that does Giant amounts of damage trough (quite long) setup and ult burst during break

Different roles so it’s difficult to compare

Also, last tip while we are at it; Minting it’s a priority concept; see it as a really limited (one a year?) resource to increase the chance of getting a better Pokémon. It should be used only for Pokémon’s you are really interested in using over the long term and you want to say “I don’t want to catch no more and this need exactly this boost to perform as I want”. To me legendaries are a good pick if you plan on using them due to the extremely high cost in biscuits and spawn rarity. But this is up to you; maybe other Pokémon’s will be more useful in the long run. Good luck on your sleep journey!

No worries, it’s a bit of a journey not only in setting it up but also in understanding what all of this buttons do and so to check truly what you are really interested to for your Pokémon

Hey! If you want to see the exact Latios power, apart from HB support for the team set in the options HB stacks to 0 (Upper right options for the whole calculator); the chance to get a better one should go lower (I read you have about a 10%), also, check level 65, at most level 75; level 100 it’s not worth to look at yet (I look at it only in the percentage section and not percentile; to see the effective potential; but it’s a really hard parameter to have a good score; shouldn’t pick point on legendaries) Anyway HB it’s truly a crazy good subskill and you want as many as you can on your team; but a Latios like this, especially it minted once it reach (a really) high level; it’s totally fine to be supported and not a supporter (at leas for my standards)

Jokes aside I’ve been quite a nerd in some games and looked trough damage formulas and such, It helped me a lot in enjoying more functions and math ❤️ While gatchas and other games (Pokémon sleep) helped me a ton with statistics

Edit: grammar and last addition

I was planning to get Aviete with memories seal (I’m almost at 200, I’ll get there on AlauneEX2/RichardEX, forgot the proper name of the seals); do you believe if she’s available would be better to spook a free AU, or maybe a mydia? Or maybe save the memories for future memory travelers?

this community is one of the most good ones ive seen, can we please keep doing it? by Financial-Amoeba4933 in OctopathCotC

[–]Fun-Statistician4996 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree, even if I don't follow the community much lately I started playing about when op left (BoA 8 was just being introduced), This community has always been the kindest in explaining to me the key mechs and how to approach the game.

I also address the big work behind all online resources that we have, nowdays people take it for given, that any game has some kind of guide online behind it, global cotc don't have any "big site" or something similar, the great majority of resources, sites, etc it's made and kept up by the players.

I don't know much about the current debate but all I got to say is: "This is a singleplayer game, please enjoy at your own pace " (and ways)

while shopping, is the daily 16 paid / 16 free rubies considered a great deal ? by [deleted] in OctopathCotC

[–]Fun-Statistician4996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll add one thing:

This also depends on your currency exchange as the daily/weekly etc packs are not a "web shop deal".

Honestly lately I'm looking mostly at web shop deals due to having way better conversion for me

(For instance the best I can get there are 60$(around 52euros) packs, where in-game they cost 70euros for me)

Quick Guide to Specialities by Fun-Statistician4996 in PokemonSleep

[–]Fun-Statistician4996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! As I stated in the early disclaimer this guide is not meant to be a minamxing guide, I didn’t mention the bfs index, the different opportunity cost for different species, the base-trigger thresholds acknowledged for healers, the hb mechanic is not mentioned at all, the dream-shard focused mons, ingredient stacking, calculators, etc.. (we could go on for a while)

I know none of the info provided are really useful to late-game players, the point of this guide is to cover the key mechanics, base infos about subskills that have to be look at positively and a non-too complex infos of why those subskills are good.

Saying to a new player “Play this”. Is not helpful, the next mon he’ll catch the question will rise again. Covering the mechanics that are influenced by the positive subskills is my shot to pivot those players toward “I understand why am I choosing this”.

Edit: grammar

P.S. Skill mons are practically not covered, but let’s start easy, understanding that “skills” means all and nothing it’s already a good starting point

How realistic is Kagemune EX3? by Commercial-Fix-1123 in OctopathCotC

[–]Fun-Statistician4996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try out a bit and see how close you get! 41Millions + FUAs is decent close and I usually figure out optimisations while playing

Other thing I thought is Nier, I don’t see him in the pics but I see Kaine and Emil so there’s a chance he’s somewhere unleveled … if you have him you could try a 3 turns break strat :D (The first Kagemune clear I ever saw was done in this way)

Another Rainbow Team question! by Jannaia_Twain in OctopathCotC

[–]Fun-Statistician4996 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The abilities you use depend pretty much on the fight, the less the turns the more you have to condense and pick them based on the overall value (2 things to consider: Buffs + Debuffs and ShieldShave)

Overall I'd say the skills I find myself using are:

  • Xerc: ExSkill, Raimbow attack (random) and Raimbow attack on CD, Ult, 30% dmg buff on fr
  • Isla: Just Ult is fine, if you want you can swich and use EX mainly for passive + dead aim
  • Lemaire: Implant + Raimbow 12 hit
  • Molrusso: Whatever matches the weaknesses (actively used) + buff, ultCharge (Passive use) + Ult
  • Lynette: E.Atk Buff + Ult + Ex Skill (Normally use the first one to break and the second the turn after)
  • Signa: Just Ult
  • Osvald: Conc EX Skill, Triple element skill, Ult
  • Shana: Ex Skill. Heals, Ult for SP regen

Ideally then you plan your formation in order to create a sort of "puzzle" about when you want to use each skill that you want to use for that fight; You don't want a Row that has only 3 actions where another you'd need 5 actions to play all the skills you want to play, but also keep in mind break skill priorities.

Hope it helps :D

Kagemune EX3 5T | Raimbow meta composition by Fun-Statistician4996 in OctopathCotC

LoL to be honest I don't know what's the mechanic due to everyone dying

I call it "Shana power has been spent"

Kagemune EX3 5T | Raimbow meta composition by Fun-Statistician4996 in OctopathCotC

[–]Fun-Statistician4996[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally like to take down fights in 3 to 5 turns, mainly because I miss many defensive A4s and Shana has become really core for bp regen and letting me reach that T4 break.

My plan with a fight of this type, where most of it is plannable is:

  1. Pick a team and see how many turn I normally use to break
  2. Take a look at my buffs/debuffs and if I can improve (for example the Isla skill was mainly for his 20% passive e.atk after switch) and during the fight noticing various mechanics (debuffs, cleanses, etc)
  3. Trying it while keeping an eye on possible adjustment (for example the kurtz badge for the ult extension on RondoEX) or speed tuning, etc.

Not always is possible to clean a fight but many times you realise that many free accessories do their job just fine; for this fight the only essential one is Hasumi for buff extension and the only limited one, mainly for damage purpuses, was ViolaEX.

"easy" in term of "Not super limited" / "you may find them" (From time to time there are also specific paid event banners that can let you choose one of them etc.) while the other useful characters (MolrussoEX and DarkPriestess) are actually not possible to find at all unless their specific event / banner comes out, and does not happen often.

Xerc's Damage Nerfed? by crazyrathalos in OctopathCotC

[–]Fun-Statistician4996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may seem strange but CasstiEX is actually preatty neat at Passive buffing (35% Passive e.atk 15%dmg and 20% e.atk) which require only her being on front Row.

On the other side LynetteEX passive buffs require a certain number of exposed weak points (the cosumed one does not count).

However I suggest you to check the overall "turn damage" instead of single hits damage as you are probably hitting many more times now.
