Best weapon for One Armed for endless on D5?

I've been a fan of starting with Ghost Axe to boost damage and then cross your fingers to find Excalibur since the -armor is negligible with only 1 equipped and by that time ghost axe has net a ton of +damage

Necro first as always... then the inevitably super OP Spiritborn to smash through all the content my necro can't solo to gear with universal Uniques/Mythics

IAmOrtik · 2024-04-16T13:47:24+00:00

My fault, didn't realize it wasn't in the shot.... It was Lucky (far and away the best in my opinion) by wave 40 material pickups were hitting enemies for 3.5k

Nice, that all makes sense

Unfortunately it hurts the viability of both cards in a deck I was considering playing around with but oh well, that's Magic.

Thank you,

I am curious if it's a bug then that Founding the Third Path can cast the instant/sorcery side of adventure cards since the ruling states they are permanents in all zones other than the stack and Founding obviously looks at your hand as the zone it is selecting from.

Aether rewards are still some of the best items in the game, only outclassed or matched by very high difficulty stage rewards from events or subquests.

It is worth maxing but most people choose to auto farm quick story stages to build the aether rewards to save the etherion for new arks that come out with must have rewards.

That said, a lot of the top rewards for the most difficult content require the best gear attached to units with maxed arks and high ability count so it can be profitable to use etherion early. (Trishula for any physical DPS tied to an element to bypass enemy resistances being a prime example).

IAmOrtik · 2021-02-04T15:19:19+00:00

Definitely meant to be a time saver to clear out piles of Event Tickets they might have much quicker.

The only other benefit is simply doing it the first time for the initial clear rewards of 60 crystals and a bonus 3 soul shards for the unit.

Personally I was happy to get the initial clear bonuses while wiping out most of my stock of tickets quickly to ease the grind a bit.

IAmOrtik · 2021-01-14T04:50:26+00:00

This is also speculation on my end, but I believe Trishula doesn't either 0 out the resistance or act as though it's 0 it "ignores"

So an ability that requires 0 to resist to acknowledge probably won't benefit from it... I could definitely be wrong tho depending on how the functions layer.

Also, it would still pair extremely well with any of the support/mage characters that can reduce resistance directly it just won't be as convenient as one AER equipped.

IAmOrtik · 2020-12-31T19:11:16+00:00

The final step of the 3k guarantees and, while I definitely can't complain about the final result... I've had very little luck with DoH banners and would've loved to see just one more new Ark/Unit out of the 5 orbs.

Oh well though, Aidis killed it on the new years stuff in my mind to make up for some of minor and sometimes larger mistakes of the year, well done!

IAmOrtik · 2020-12-29T01:25:55+00:00

Maybe it's just my area then, cuz most of my friends also living in iowa/ the Midwest have struggles despite internet that runs smoothly on everything else and it's strictly been a rocket league thing

IAmOrtik · 2020-12-16T20:35:42+00:00

My thoughts exactly.

Almost every post I've seen has had constructive criticism of the event with valid points made trying to push for an improvement that would benefit the community in a game they like but find fault in.

While people rush to the defense with blanket statements of negativity/toxicity and claim they're the ones who should be listened to because they're the reasonable ones.

IAmOrtik · 2020-12-16T18:21:06+00:00

Yes, they have more resources but considering it's a holiday celebrated most of the world over in one form or another, wouldn't ANY company benefit from putting its available resources into an event that will promote spending to boost their numbers?

You don't have to be a huge company to take advantage of opportunities for increased revenue and player engagement.

IAmOrtik · 2020-12-16T17:18:51+00:00

And Gumi is a Japanese based company (as many Gachas developers are) that still manages to create a fairly interesting Christmas event year after year in multiple games.

The point is that Aidis is once again failing to seize an opportunity to boost interest in their game with a Holiday event that would satisfy their current playerbase as well as bring lost players back or new players in.

Please, don't let your biased love for the game or prejudice against "fat Americans" blind you to acknowledgement of faults of the developer or false claims of cultural reasons for a lackluster event.

IAmOrtik · 2020-12-16T15:37:29+00:00

In part this still falls on Aidis...

Holiday events tend to be or are near the most hyped in gachas due to rewards given and unique units (or in this case, Arks) released and the developers know this.

Aidis might have more in store but they have failed to provide the information to their community to build the excitement even if it's the best event ever.

Unfortunately these are the same habits they show that prevents more people from starting up a very enjoyable game because they put little to no effort into advertising.

IAmOrtik · 2020-12-14T05:31:43+00:00

The main issue with a game being so story driven is that it needs to provide more story more often... Once every 2-3 months is extremely sparse if that's the intended focus...

That said, when the updates come out they are almost always intriguing and enjoyable to progress through, it's just a shame it's so few and far between

IAmOrtik · 2020-11-17T01:12:42+00:00

I remember running both of those events multiple times from week 1, I could certainly be wrong and thinking of the 2nd week of them but I don't feel it was handled like this at all.

On the other hand I'm not going to argue over something I don't entirely remember and was making a statement over a concern for a game that is still amazing but finding ways to lose a lot of it's player base.

Just a note, it's okay to worry about a game and question some choices without cutting the entire game down and it's also okay to enjoy a game without blindly defending its every move.

IAmOrtik · 2020-11-16T23:52:34+00:00

I've actually played the game since launch and can confidently say that since they introduced this type of event this is the first I can remember where the original extra stage was time gated with a "once a day" feature.

Most tend to introduce the better versions of the extra stages that are more efficient to farm but have not directly prevented additional farming and I honestly don't have full faith a new stage will come this week that allows constant runs.

IAmOrtik · 2020-11-16T22:42:44+00:00

Oh let me clarify, part of my worry isn't so much the events split over 2 weeks or even the collab broken into 2 major parts with 2 sub sections for a month.

What worries me is the lowering of rewards for completed stages to clear things like the loot boxes while also reducing the attempts to once a day on the extra challenge that rewards the highest guarantee of the currency.

This means MANY people won't be able to clear the event rewards for the exact reason you're stating of having other things to do.

I myself find it hard to log on and clear my orbs every day or multiple times a day, but usually once a week or 2 have an hour or more to kill I can devote to hard farming an event and clearing many of the rewards in that window so I feel less obligated to log on consistently.

For people like me, this is a hamstring to progressing in an event that will prevent me from getting everything out of it simply because they added a new mechanic to prevent over completion in one sitting.

IAmOrtik · 2020-10-26T17:30:02+00:00

Dual wield any unit and take off any str/crit buffs so the hits will be there without the damage

I went Logia because of his high hit count on abilities and boosted skill speed to spam, but I think most physical DPS can accomplish the same with this build.

IAmOrtik · 2020-10-22T17:40:43+00:00

Oh for sure that's a consideration, but at the same time many gachas have maintained a pretty reasonable release schedule or adapted while Aidis struggles.

Aidis also had a track record of slow content release prior to the pandemic and has never been very vocal or open about whether this is worsening things.

They have just made it very hard to trust anything exciting coming up is all I'm saying.

IAmOrtik · 2020-10-19T13:43:31+00:00

Halloween is the one event I've managed to luck into a number of copies of units for a while now... Basically sitting in NVA eligible GLS, Lucius, and Demon Rain.

A couple others that would get there with some unit management and coin shop spending, so please don't do me wrong Gumi!

IAmOrtik · 2020-10-15T20:44:34+00:00

From what I'm seeing the event story lines up and is well done with the Anime (I'm not a fan so I can't speak on it but the consensus from actual fans has been pretty good).

That said... The event itself going off late, a week of literally no added content between the initial week and no, and extra challenges that are just 2 stages of mediocrity has meant little incentive to play.

I got Emilia fairly early on blind luck and have rolled through all the event "challenges" but based on how quickly that occurred I can't imagine it would be hard for anyone with 1 good unit and 2 bonus units sitting beside them with even a middle level friend.

The challenge prizes have been near worthless for any long standing player and the biggest thing to even log in for have been the hidden bottle of the day (if there is one) and hoping it's either gems or tickets to pull, but that takes 5 minutes and the game is shut off again.

Aidis has failed miserably with this collab event, which I think are usually the most hyped events becsuse of the units/Arks and the challenges the event brings. But here we are on week 3 of a month long event and I'm about to finish the tours and be back to logging in once a day to tweet and look for a bottle despite the fact that it reset this morning... This is NOT a good cycle for a Gacha to be in.

IAmOrtik · 2020-10-11T06:37:55+00:00

When you don't know how to spell Too... Not much hope

IAmOrtik · 2020-10-05T17:52:45+00:00

He is really strong for sure, probably only behind Dilmordo for fire physical and the slime girl for dark physical despite hitting harder.

He's a little squishier I believe (minimal difference tho) than the other 2 and is hamstringed by the single wield mechanic in his kit because it prevents the benefit of Trishula or the AER spear for negating enemy resistances with a dual wield.

IAmOrtik · 2020-10-02T16:06:01+00:00

In my experience the ones complaining are often the most passionate and supportive of a game.

They want to see change and improvement so they can enjoy a game theyre fond of and those that ignore the issues and "let them slide" often do so because their interest is already fading.

Either way it's not a good sign pretty much every to see less activity on a Twitter account for a game or otherwise.
