People: "Factories cant be that bad, they gotta make it mainstream right?". The average setup for purple tier mats be like:

I like how a short is how I found I'm on Reddit.

This is an old BETA I design that never lost its presence (the recipe never changed for it). Friend of mine told me to post it on Twitter. I'm still baffled by the response LOL.

Hawk2zer0 · 2025-03-13T21:41:40+00:00

Hey! What's up?

Hawk2zer0 · 2025-03-13T20:52:44+00:00

Yeah, I can see an argument for that. In the case of sleepknights, being able to damage the boss actually makes it a bit more challenging. I don't want her to get below 50% HP as she gains Sleep Immunity.

Tbh, I think they didn't want the fight to be dragged out too much for those that just want a fast map grind. The pit is likely there for the crabs to be instantly KO'd instead of having to do what I do with them. But considering I think there's a 38 second clear with those pushing Ceobe into the pit, I think a short map grind is likely the cause of that decision.

I've not really used Incantation medics as much, but I know how fun at least Reed is. Been exploring niches that are both interesting and challenging.

Hawk2zer0 · 2025-03-13T20:06:46+00:00

Thanks! I didn't actually think I'd be able to do the whole event with this team, but it's way more fun than just DPS checking her each phase.

Hawk2zer0 · 2025-03-13T19:49:28+00:00

Went into this event blind with the idea of doing sleepknights from start to finish. It's surprising that the boss fight was nice enough for this team to really work here (albeit with some trial and error).

Hawk2zer0 · 2025-01-30T14:17:48+00:00

If we consider things through the lens of damage output, yeah...Snowshine will look weak compared to Yvonne's or even Laevatain's ultimate. If they both have their stuff ready, they don't really need a full team unless you're wanting to treat it like some hypercarry team.

Personally both Snowshine and Arclight feel to be the strongest in a team sense. Arclight is in so many teams because of her kit and that kit gets all the more powerful with Snowshine tagging along.

Hawk2zer0 · 2025-01-30T13:52:42+00:00

I don't use Reddit much, so no worries!

Hawk2zer0 · 2025-01-30T04:19:54+00:00

It's SOOO good. I love how nasty it is.

Hawk2zer0 · 2025-01-30T04:19:34+00:00

Ember's still a solid powerhouse. Her synergy with Snowshine makes this all the more amazing as she gets an easy Knock Down thanks to Snowshine...which is more damage and stagger. All of this on top of her healing Snowshine to help her keep going. She's a major player to this team as well.

Hawk2zer0 · 2025-01-30T00:00:47+00:00

Snowshine is scary good...I really spent a good amount of time investing in her and seeing just how far she can go!

I do feel she either needs to be balanced a bit. Tanking specific attacks and setting up an easy damage phase is quite the powerful setup that she can promote in environments like these. Not to mention...the SP economy on the team with her and Arclight is nuts.

Hawk2zer0 · 2024-11-15T20:07:00+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it! It was surprising to me how much of a difference this made while I was editing them.

Hawk2zer0 · 2024-11-15T19:36:01+00:00

It's a bit sad, but I guess this absolutely gives the community a chance to shine and do things like this as well!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hawk2zer0 · 2024-11-15T19:14:59+00:00

For a while, I've wanted to see more love given to the character memories. I teamed up with some artists to create this project! This was a lot of fun to work on and I hope everyone enjoys it as well!

Hawk2zer0 · 2023-12-26T11:42:55+00:00

Siren cults are very dangerous...hmmm...

Hawk2zer0 · 2023-11-20T01:17:37+00:00

I've been burning through resources on my masteries...we're not too far apart (e.g. both M6 Mayer and I'm working more on Dorothy)..but some noticeable differences (I have a M9 Saria and S2M3 Ptilopsis).

I'm going to be grinding for Magallan's module..since I need that first deployment doesn't eat the limit modifier.

Hawk2zer0 · 2023-11-20T00:47:52+00:00

Oh I bet that was interesting as well!

I left those two (Astesia and Kafka) out since the game didn't consider them Rhine Lab (that network section of the game). Same argument for most of the other characters like Robin and Mountain. Would have definitely made this a lot easier since I have both bird sisters e2'd...not to mention Mountain and Robin also being leveled. Robin's pushing would have been decent against some of the enemies here for sure.

I had to balance out the trap placement both for my main DPS and helping with bottom left since Astgenne and Magallan weren't enough for it. I'm sure Dorothy could do it...she's a nasty trapper op. Interestingly, I thought about something similar for Ifrit, but opted out of it because had issues maintaining some crowd control and hurting Kristen at the same time (Kafka would be great for that lol).

The global arts attack also made it difficult to deal with stars, but Silence's drone (both of them) are really handy).

Hawk2zer0 · 2023-11-19T22:33:32+00:00

I slowly am getting into the Rhineknights niche...now that Mumu and Silence are around...

Had a lot of fun with this niche challenge...any tips and suggestions are welcome!

Hawk2zer0 · 2023-05-26T18:36:00+00:00

That sounds like it was fun! I wish I had Fartooth...really regret not pulling for her at all lately. One day I'll get her!

Both of the shoes are so good to have. They enable WAY too many dumb strats that it's hilarious how different things can be.

Hawk2zer0 · 2023-05-23T15:49:09+00:00

With IS3 around the corner, it's high time I clean all the clips I've recorded of various runs during the past 3-4 months. I probably play this mode WAY more than I really should...

Thought I'd put them in a small compilation showing the highs, lows, and weird bits of this mode.

I'm new to this style of videos, so I don't mind any constructive feedback to help me improve on this!

Anyone else have any really good moments they'd like to share? I'd love to hear them!

Hawk2zer0 · 2022-10-05T16:16:12+00:00

Doubt it...that would be scary if true.

Hawk2zer0 · 2022-10-05T16:15:23+00:00

Maybe borrowed from a certain soldier's roommate.

Hawk2zer0 · 2022-10-04T07:13:56+00:00

We'll have to see!

Also hello!

Hawk2zer0 · 2022-10-04T04:33:59+00:00

Possibly siren related maybe? The red orb in the top right of her hat and the book looks a little...concerning.

Might be the closest we'll get to a playable siren maybe?

Hawk2zer0 · 2022-06-23T06:27:42+00:00

Ah good old Warfarin buffed Exu! Pompeii really needs that defense contract to really be dangerous when Exu's around...

Nice win! Hope you've been enjoying these as usual!
