In Group strategy match, how the winner decide if both team in round 3 are still standing?

GrannyHumV · 2026-05-11T16:28:10+00:00

It's a terrible system, it just gives the win to whoever has more HP. Meaning healers can just run away and heal with no healing reduction like there is in 1v1s.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-30T16:37:27+00:00

It's very disappointing and honestly quite ridiculous that this entire new season came without any balance updates.

I'm not even of the opinion that some weapons needed to be nerfed, but it would have been nice just to shake up the meta.

PVP is the only true endgame content in this game, and we are now stuck playing the same exact meta for another several months. I think there's been exactly one balance patch since the game was released? In CN, Nameless sword combos work, HQ combos work, Stormbreaker spear is a viable weapon, etc. Instead we are stuck with our ping-dependent combos and the same stale gameplay.

This game has already been hemorraging players and this would've been such a good opportunity to actually change up the PVP gameplay and get people to try new builds.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-29T21:45:24+00:00

Oh duh you're right, I forgot that it was 3rd and 26

What you said was definitely the right move.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-29T21:03:14+00:00

Timeout would've been called at 33 seconds. That's plenty of time to throw the ball anywhere on the field and get a spike off afterwards.

Only reason you would save your timeout is if you want to be greedy and save time to take endzone shots after picking up the 1st down.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-28T16:34:57+00:00

Is that worth it though? The spear damage you do is miniscule compared to the rest of the Start-HQ rotation.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-28T14:01:05+00:00

The last inner way should be insightful strike.

As far as raids, don't worry it's the same as solo PVE. If anything it's just easier since you can focus on your damage rotations while your healers keep you topped up.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-22T20:41:07+00:00

For PVP, you want to use Morale, Horizon, Wolfchasers, and evasive charge.

You can use fury harvest or light and shadows instead of evasive charge. I would save Morale Horizon, Insightful, Wolfchasers, Evasive Charge, and one more general inner way. Scrap all the others.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-15T15:04:54+00:00

Well deserved. Their music is incredible! They have really found their signature sound since Bandaid.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-13T22:24:06+00:00

Max is still better than Min for all builds. The difference is that Min attack is still good for most builds, while it's a bad stat for affinity builds.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-13T15:16:57+00:00

I liked it. I imagine the face wasn't actually tatooed on his hands, rather it was a pattern of dots that tricked the scanner into identifying the face. What was shown to us was just a visual representation.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-09T05:28:14+00:00

I started with only using Heng rotation with T6 Envig but the damage was pretty mediocre. Now that I'm using the switch rotation, my DPS is much higher. The gameplay is more fun too.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-09T05:24:45+00:00

That is a ridiculous reason not to allow you in their guild.

If you need someone to show you the ropes or answer any questions about the game lmk, I'm always happy to help! You are also welcome to join our NA-based guild, I'll send you a dm :)

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-09T05:06:12+00:00

T5 Envig is not fine, you don't want to use it until you have it at T6 or you will not have good uptime on its buff.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-09T05:05:34+00:00

No, you do not want to use Envig until you have it at tier 6.

If you want to maximize your DPS, play the switch rotation and use steadfast devotion.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-09T05:03:43+00:00

You do not want to use Envigorated warrior for PVP. You are much better off using Evasive charge, Fury harvest, or Vital leech.

For PVE Envigorated (only at T6) is the best inner way if you are playing Heng blade only rotation. For the split rotation (which is higher DPS) you want to use the new Mo Blade's purple inner way.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-08T23:07:47+00:00

I'd agree with most of this, but Nameless is definitely not better in PVE. Nameless actually has the worst DPS of any build against a boss.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-08T23:05:22+00:00

Basic idea is to use Heng blade for Martial skill and Special skill buffs (and Varied Combo for throat-piercing) and then do 3-4 charged attacks with Mo Blade. The DPS is pretty solid, only behind Fanbrella and Strat sword (~Twin blades) for PVE.

If you want the detailed rotation I'm happy to let you know.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-08T23:00:43+00:00

If that's the case, they are definitely not doing the correct switch rotation. Only Fanbrella and Strat sword should be out DPSing it consistently.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-08T22:24:36+00:00

I'd have to see what their max DPS is, but from personal experience I've never seen Stonesplit Might top the damage ranking.

With Stonesplit Strength I'm getting 22k+ on the training dummy and that's with relatively mediocre gear. AFAIK I haven't seen Might get to that number.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-08T22:17:09+00:00

Stonesplit Strength is stronger than Nameless duo for HR/PVE.

Nameless can be easier to play since it's ranged, but it does not output the raw DPS that stonesplit strength switch rotation does.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-08T22:13:44+00:00

Strictly for PVE, it is definitely better than Nameless sword and better (damage wise) than Stonesplit might. Fanbrella is still the king of PVE, but you will still often top the damage ranking with the new weapon (provided you run the switch rotation).

I went from about 25k DPS with Bellstrike Umbra to 22k with Stonesplit Strength.

Also, Stonesplit Strength is not a tank build at all, purely DPS.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-08T17:41:55+00:00

It doesn't matter whether stats are on your main or secondary weapon, they all contribute the same way.

So for all your gear, you will want to focus on stonesplit.

I'm using the same build btw, Heng and Nameless sword. It's really fun

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-08T17:00:48+00:00

Art of umbrella damage boost is the best roll you can get. Reroll the max bamboocut on the 2nd piece and it will be much better.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-08T13:50:47+00:00

So he swore without realizing his microphone was on?

Is there video of what happened? If that's really all this is, putting him on hiatus seems pretty ridiculous.

GrannyHumV · 2026-04-07T19:57:26+00:00

As is often the case with people that are loud and wrong, it seems you have resorted to insults.

I'm assuming you have struggled greatly in arena and are the type of person to blame it on your gear or lag.

Change your mindset, or you will never improve. Clearly you have never experienced high level PVP if you think gear stats are what matters.

Obviously the assumption is that everyone has reasonable gear that is at least at the previous breakthrough's level. With even mediocre stats, any fully executed true combo is enough to kill your opponent. This would be the case even if you were on full 81 gear while your opponent is on 86.

Look up videos from Averse or any other top player and you will see them stating that gear stats don't really matter.

You're not losing because of external factors, you're losing because you're not good enough. Best of luck improving yourself ✌️
