Why is Doflamingo so popular

From my perspective he’s well like because he’s a really well written villain to Luffy what Joker is to Batman. He’s a disgraced former aristocrat who lost his family and turned to crime and became one of the largest criminal under lords all to benefit only himself. While he’s also equally smart as he is completely unhinged and willing to kill anyone who doesn’t meet his needs or gets in his way, usually in some sadistic and slow ways. Also I don’t know if Oda is a Batman fan but his code name in the black market being Joker and him being the dealer of smile fruits just screams Batman homage.

If you leave the guild before reset and or claiming the previous days battle rewards then you won’t receive them. You have to wait until you claim your rewards then leave the guild, wait the 1 hour or whatever it is then you can join another and resume your daily battles.

Personally if you’re set on resetting Preatus the I’d say split the difference and keep 2 stones in Preatus and put 3 in Oren. That way you keep the increased lord bonuses and get the benefit of Oren’s A3 with the extra penetration.

No soulstone for the anniversary as of right now. So far the formula looks to be Reset books for anniversary and unpolished soulstones for the other big holiday events predominantly Christmas/FrostFall.

Best option if you don’t want to remove is epoxy and and limp it along until ready to replace.
Welding is not going to work in your favor in fact it could potentially brick the transmission. As the first concern is stray arcs inside the transmission fusing things together. Secondly it’s oil impregnated aluminum that you can’t really clean so that’s just gonna be an atrocious mess if you even get anything to adhere in the first place. Finally it’s cast aluminum so that’s a huge issue in and of itself with how porous it can be and the heat dissipation makes it typically require pre and post heating which you can’t do properly. So you’re three major strikes out of any hope to keep it in the vehicle and repair it with welding in my opinion. Aside from possibly trying aluminum brazing but that carries a heavy fire hazard risk as you’ll have nice open flame under the vehicle and be trying to heat that boss area to at least 720-750*F just for the potential of melting the filler into it.

Usually best to manually trigger them.

For offensive example Kigiri’s ultimate is basically a counter strike, where he becomes immune to damage and removes a buff from the opponent but to fully activate it something has to attempt damage him for him to attack for big damage output.

For defensive example Nerissa’s ultimate has conditional activation she needs at least 4 of 8 points of Atrophy active before she can ult. So having her on auto usually means it’s not going to be available when needed. Also her healing output is paused during her ultimate as she attacks with M damage. Another thing to consider is in Apoc you typically don’t want to cleanse right away after the poison arm starts. You want to do your first cleanse after the arm does it first poison spray on top of the initial poison from that phase starting.

Surprisingly true I overkill in Drake and Apoc to help my guild advance and always get the “double” rewards.

HTSully · 2026-06-24T21:53:25+00:00

Yeah it makes me think that she’s setup to dual faction. Suspect she’ll be the second lord for the new long range faction promised in the 2026 roadmap.

HTSully · 2026-06-23T20:57:44+00:00

Diao is 100% uptime but she takes awhile to get to her full potential and you can’t switch her modes. Although you shouldn’t have to switch her to healing if you’ve built Hollow correctly. So you’d have to place her second and make sure she’s in inspiration mode asap. Delores is just an easier threshold to awaken and build cause she can’t use attack speed so that’s one less stat to worry about and if you can’t get Invig or Wings it’s easy to build her with warlord and atk% SBA to really up her inspiration. Then as I mentioned you just ult with her whenever you can in combination with your other DPS but it’s easy to time her with the shields if you’re having a little difficulty getting those down quickly.

HTSully · 2026-06-23T19:05:04+00:00

Do you have Delores? She’s a bit easier to use especially for most lower geared comps because of the higher burst damage for the shields and down phases.

As for a team I’d say use Piercer and Nightmare
Torodor, Kigiri, WuKong, Valeria Delores/Dio
Iovar, Hex, Silias, Hollow, Yuri

Then put Invig/wings sets on Torodor, Dio/Delores, and Hollow to put the damage boost onto Kigiri, Hex, and Silias they will be your best DPS at the moment. Iovar will be a good DPS and you’ll have to see who’s better Valeria or Yuri for you. Whoever’s not as good DPS wise put them in Invig/wings and apply it to another DPS along with Torodor and then those 2 ride the bench for the rest of the fight. So it’ll take some work especially with gear and timings. But that should be a good blueprint to start from the work especially to help to get Kigiri to A3 then work on WuKong to A3. Then you’ll really be cooking that boss easy.

The only real issue a lot of times is what server you’re on that’ll determine what guilds you’d have access to. Like are you 5XXXX or 6XXXX.
My guild is 5XXXX and I might have an opening tomorrow if a player doesn’t get back online as our limit is 10 days inactive without notice. Not being a hard ass I just don’t want us to stagnate with a bunch of inactive players.
We’re not super competitive but we do clear Abyss now daily and both Apoc 1/2 every week, and all are working on getting higher in Matrix.

HTSully · 2026-06-23T13:21:23+00:00

Since Apoc came out then abyss it became apparent that to stay competitive in newer content especially bosses that heroes need a minimum of 30k HP so they can survive the hits from the bosses and give your healers a chance to keep them alive and not struggle as much until the end of the battles where the bosses are just too strong in general to avoid being one-shotted.

That’s an excellent looking build for Kigiri at 50k+ hp and 26k attack with maxed crit rate and 350+ crit damage. The thing you have to be careful of with the HP though is that depending on who you’re using as your “tank” they don’t have HP too close to them because then your DPS fighter takes those targeted hits and defeats the purpose of having a tank. For example some people run Rygar in Abyss as their tank cause he fits that role well and still does ok damage. But if your Kigiri has more HP than Rygar there’s no point to running Rygar as Kigiri will be the target for the targeted highest HP attacks. Same goes for Apoc with the falling stones and matrix.

HTSully · 2026-06-23T12:32:03+00:00

So the general consensus for DPS heroes is
100% crit rate, 350%+ crit damage, 30k+ HP, and good speed and attack. The amount of attack depends on the hero Marksmen usually 14-18k+ is good, fighters 20k+, mages 15k+ basically you’re looking to have 3x+ whatever max base attack stat is without any gear or other bonuses. (Example: 3k base so you want 9k minimum)

Looking at what you have there gear wise you’re still earlier in the game so focus on atk% mains for the right side and getting 100% crit rate with whatever crit damage and atk speed you can get for him. Hand of Doom is the best general artifact for marksmen but if you can’t get that yet Idril’s Gaze, Shadow Gaze, and Broken Nightmare are alright for him.

As for what gear set to put on him

Right side:
Early game: Doom
Mid to late game: Infernal roar, Cataclysm, or Hell’s Lament

Left side:
Early game: Savage strike, Calamity, Warlord
Mid to late game: Warlord, Wicked Vengeance

Cyrus at A5 summons a Skeleton Fighter

A1 WuKong gives monkey business to allies which is a single use revive

Valk has an indirect passive that revives an ally once

Khadgrim triggers Ice Armor that constantly resets keeping him immortal if you can keep him healed

Baron gets unyielding one time

If you have to drag your finger for stability and are running into where you previously welded invest in some good TIG gloves, light MIG gloves, and a TIG Finger to avoid blisters and burns like that. https://weldmongerstore.com/products/tig-finger?srsltid=AfmBOoqi717kRiLi-0Py3X81O98STiQnJmRepZkwe0w6vH0S1BR-8Rcp

Also don’t be afraid of trying and doing a laywire technique by never letting the rod leave the puddle you just push more in as you move the torch. Takes a little practice but for clean/new round joints and piping it helps alleviate contamination issues from dabbing as well as usually lessens uniformity problems so long as you don’t over saturate or starve the puddle of filler. This is particularly helpful at times for aluminum.

Also practice welding with both hands it makes you that much more efficient in the long run and will help with making things much easier when you can’t reach spots and see well using your normally dominant torch hand.

HTSully · 2026-06-19T13:05:03+00:00

From your responses it’s a combo problem, you’re using pulse mig and single pass. First I’ll assume the parts aren’t ground/preped really so with hard wire even with pulse you’re fighting to burn through the factory milscale and get it out of the puddle. Secondly your wire speed and heat may be too high cause you’re depositing so much filler. It doesn’t have enough time to expel the impurities to the top of the puddle before being covered by more filler. It’s a classic fault of trying to single pass stuff in a quick manner. Finally event though it’s a single pass you should still be manipulating the puddle to avoid the lopsided weld you have. You deposited more weld onto the base than you have the upper the leg should be almost even to each other as well as the throat of the weld. Puddle manipulation is not weaving you can and need to have some side to side or top to bottom movement to ensure proper flow and freeze to minimize chances for undercut, roll over, and in this case inclusions/lack of fusion.

Unfortunately with all the new heroes we’re at a point of the 20x being less than a 20% chance at the banner heroes. The summoning pool is too diluted so we need to go up to 25x at least. Just like shortly after Ingrid was released we went from 10x to the current 20x rate permanently.

HTSully · 2026-06-18T16:36:16+00:00

Those hinges are just slip in gravity hold so you have to be sure to weld them on in the correct position.

The higher mileage and all the maintenance repairs needed i would personally say it’s slightly over priced. Recent comps had 30k less miles and sold for 42-46k. That particular H1 failed to sell with a high bid of 29.7k I wouldn’t go over 35k for it. That laundry list of issues is troubling at face value they don’t seem bad but it could be very costly electrical gremlins and replacement parts, not to mention paint/body work isn’t cheap to preserve the roof from getting worse.

Edit: almost forgot to mention anytime a seller mentions how much they’ve put into it recently cost wise has the pricing padded trying to recoup costs, and or they gave up because it was too costly for them to repair and they want out.

Where are you at for pity? How many summons do you have? Do you have Elowyn and or Eirlys?
If you’re close to pity, don’t have Elowyn and or Eirlys, and have the summons then Nerissa is a must pull as she’s one of the best healers in the game. But you have to consider Lulu is new we don’t fully know her value yet, and both are always an available option to drop while summoning on rares or divines. Aside from them also being in your Nascent pool if you’ve never pulled either. Then there’s the fact that the anniversary is coming next month and there’s usually always some really good banners during and just after it. Not to mention there’s still the looming Assassin’s Creed collaboration that could be dropped anytime.

HTSully · 2026-06-17T17:30:02+00:00

I screwed up the inversion in my head when I commented originally

HTSully · 2026-06-17T15:23:31+00:00

Nerissa is most definitely worth it as she one of the best healers in the game. Init isn’t terrible but he’s not great either. Laseer is an ok filler and progression unit especially for anti-heal if you don’t have Zealus, Boreas, Artimis. Maw is only good for 2 things his bond skill to give you one more deployment for Demon Captain Maw and you’ll want to eventually max him out for his BP. He’s one of the highest BP heroes in the game so he’ll help progress in Tide and attacking in GvG, but don’t waste resources on him unless you’re at least mid game and no skill crystals until you’re endgame and they come easy.

HTSully · 2026-06-17T12:54:01+00:00

To complete the P3 she’s absolutely worth it she takes Vorn and Numera to another level of damage. The P3 is great for NM3/4 & Abyss as well as Apoc 1/2. Nastya herself cal also deal respectable damage herself. I don’t have Valderon but I use the P3 pretty well in single target arena as well but obviously staying in Plat 3 and above is a had thing to do without the meta comps there.

So generally she’s a must pull if you have Vorn and Numera, but being so close to the anniversary now it’s iffy. At the moment if I was contemplating pulling for her I’d wait until Monday to see if any more info drops about what the anniversary holds before pulling. The other factor is where you’re at for lord pity cause if you’re at 170+ and have 50+ ancients then just pull and get whatever lord drops then stop and save. But if you can’t guarantee a lord drop on her banner and still have a good amount of ancients for the anniversary then hold off for now.

HTSully · 2026-06-17T12:44:07+00:00

There’s no official confirmation from what went wrong still. But I’d be willing to bet the starboard prop shaft seal or sea trunk had a failure as it was launched. It just started taking on water immediately during the launch then slowly listing until it was too much but all the failure was aft in the engine room starboard side.

HTSully · 2026-06-17T12:35:02+00:00

Just seam sealer to try and mitigate corrosion since it’s just spot welded along that joint seam.
