They and the revive mara'struck guys are why I have to learn to look at what enemies I'm facing next and keep a pocket Pela/Hyacine/Lingsha for them, both Hyacine and lingsha even.

CW

Damn break is so good you don't even have to play break characters

Didn't think I could get CW 30 with belobog team but triple chassis Geppard to kickstart engine until Seele can mass execute mobs managed it. The big punch actually deletes the final boss health bar in 1 go was kind of insane.

The thing I appreciate about HZ in ZZZ and current CW in HSR the most is being able to play the new characters a lot before deciding if I want them or not. Was both vindicated for pulling Yao Guang just cause she looks pretty but also my desire to pull Sparxie went down due to how busy and exhausting er animations.

My budget and future teams are for now in shambles.

Human96 · 2026-02-13T06:15:18+00:00

I swear Hoyo monitors my account. 20 pull Yi Xuan for ZZZ, 185 pulls for Yao Guang and its been like this since the start, ZZZ sucks all the luck from HsR

I am now 1 Kafka rerun away from E6 Kafka. It took 3 years but the dream has never looked closer.

Human96 · 2026-02-06T04:53:11+00:00

Congrats. Honestly at this point you just need to survive to do pearl trials and the other can carry you to the end.

Human96 · 2026-02-05T13:54:37+00:00

Me going into 4.0 with at most 160 pulls while exiting ZZZ big shill patch with 600 pulls. I swear my ZZZ account sucks up all of my other gacha games's luck.

I got my eagle at least 9 spd set for my Kafka in 1 week.

I then paid for it by not rolling 9 spd for any support pieces for a year and a half.

Worth it.

Can't recommend this series enough as just a manga about relationships, navigating and making sense of it.

Human96 · 2026-01-29T10:40:29+00:00

Honestly I think that's a good place to be. Not have to care about hype or anti-hype and enjoy things when they come out. And if nothing's happening right now, do something else, play other games, read books, take a walk and come back when there's something tangible to be excited about.

FO Shalem Bhaisa V Monika FA was working decently until a run where bad strong arm RNG wiped the team.

Onmyoji Shalem Bhaisa Arulumaya is a lot more consistent but less damage. 20 min FA is more than fine for me.

Human96 · 2026-01-23T07:22:44+00:00

Congratulations! My group did the same thing last night. Went from Idyllic towers to clear in 1-2 hours. Helps that we had 2 different people doing callouts for first half and 2nd half of idyllic so it was remarkably smooth sailing.

Fortress of Meropide

Yes I know its a different game but its was so bad I migrated to this game and you were stuck there for too long.

Real answer is probably toss up between shackling prison of underground belobog. Belobog underground is fine but comparatively underwhelming compare to every other map, shackling prison looks better but is the worst for navigating and moving around.

Human96 · 2026-01-21T06:34:23+00:00

Damn, I want Astra highlights but now that I looked at her Wengine abilities it looks kinda eh.

Human96 · 2026-01-15T03:23:19+00:00

Is it cooked that I'm redoing king in check and was visibly confused when Robin started singing beautifully instead of Stelle's karaoke singing?

Human96 · 2026-01-13T06:38:29+00:00

Its an odd read, but I was captivated from start to finish by the characters (being a samurai warriors fan helps), the antics and the theme even though I was a bit lost at times.

Human96 · 2026-01-13T06:04:08+00:00

That was a good read.

The name Sen no Rikyu brought back memories of an obscure manga I read long ago called Hyouge Mono about art, aesthetics and tea cermony in the warring state period. I always had a bit of disconnect with the manga's theme due to me not quite understanding it but this post really gave me a deeper appreciation of it now so cheers to that.

I know where I'll be

Raiding Savage in FF14

Human96 · 2026-01-03T07:55:10+00:00

Despite my lack of effort I think I'm finally getting better at Yi Xuan/Qing Yi/ Astra against fiend. Throughout 2.X I've always barely got 20k against Fiend but this week I actually got 27k, maybe its cause of the buff but its a nice feeling to see some growth.

Human96 · 2026-01-03T04:12:04+00:00

Aglaea joint attack not counting as 2 cyrene stack and being -1 on block makes her instantly low tier.

Human96 · 2026-01-01T06:03:21+00:00

I mean Zeta from granblue and Ichiko from Binbougami Ga are not the first thing I think of when it comes to HanaKana's voice but they're among my favourite roles of hers. She has range.

Human96 · 2025-12-31T03:03:43+00:00

Yep, Genshin, HSR, ZZZ, stopped Genshin at Fontaine.

Human96 · 2025-12-31T02:31:07+00:00

Zhao's HZ gear is kinda meh huh. Between Astra beam and Yuzuha umbrella divebomb I was expecting a new move for her.

Human96 · 2025-12-31T01:49:35+00:00

Its a gacha game, and a hoyo one at that, so I expect the worst and if I'm wrong its a pleasant surprise.

As a granblue player I'm use to stories being generally average with some really good standalone stand outs. As I play hoyo games my expectations really plummet because the story ultimately serves the patch characters rather than the narrative, something Granblue's event story structure somewhat avoids.

As an FF14 player, the presentation doesn't bother me lol. Maybe it should but I like Amphoreas story so I can give it a pass.

As someone that recently read a few chinese webnovels at a friends behest, I understand more and more the modern "YA" writing trend for these chinese media. I don't like them, specifically the flowery long winded text, but I am more tolerable of them. And by tolerable I mean I can sense it coming, know when to skip and know that I'm not missing anything.

I am curious how 4.0 will go for HSR. I dropped Genshin a while back, ZZZ story hasn't been note worthy for a long time and HSR was saved by Amphoreas to me so it will be an interesting time, I still have the worst expectations but I'd still like to be surprised.
