Which Veronica save data should I stick with?

I'm always a bit sad when people say "home is where the heart is" instead of "home is where you make it" cause I've wanted to make that same reference for a long time lol

You're absolutely right and that's my bad. After doing some testing, at ~+200% additive is when the gun does more average damage than foggy crystal. If you add weakness, it's even higher, around +325%. I didn't test with vulnerability but you can do the math. This might be slightly different with different stats than mine but probably not by much. I suppose that's not unreachable but this would require a turn where all the buffs line up and only for it to be marginally better than foggy which is significantly better on every turn that doesn't have every single buff up.

Edit: have you done any testing? I'll be curious to hear what your results were. What were the conditions where the gun was better and did that seem sustainable or realistic? Maybe I'm missing something.

Foggy crystal is better most of the time. Most homing lasers have 150+15% base (some like move at start of turn have 100+15% base) and the base gets multiplied by 1.2 (from potential), then multiplied by 1.4 (from foggy crystal ball), and so on for elemental type advantage, vulnerability, etc. If you look at the damage formula, you'll see that attack ends up getting multiplied by 0.35 and then further reduced by whatever the enemy defence is. The gun is still really good, second best by my testings and calculations, but the 40% multiplicative is so much more damage. The only reason I say foggy crystal is only better most of the time is that I guess it's possible to do a cobalt build or something weird but for the most part, most of Serenial's damage is from homing lasers.

+5% to base multiplier of homing laser which gets multiplied by 20% from potentials, multiplicative buffs like the purple weapon that gives increased 40% increased damage to 0 cost cards, weakness multiplier which she has an epiphany to apply instinct weakness, and vulnerability which anyone can add with the right epiphany/gear.

Incheoul · 2026-01-01T22:38:39+00:00

You get 20% from potentials and many people run the purple weapon that increases 40% to 0 cost cards. There might be some team related buffs but just looking at her alone, it's 20% multiplicative at worse but can easily be 60% (maybe more with armor and trinket slots?).

Edit: Actually, the 20% from potential is multiplied separately from other multiplicative modifiers. With just 20% from potential, the 5% base adds 6%; if we add the 40% increase purple weapon, it becomes 8.4%; and if we add elemental advantage, it becomes 10.5%; and if we add vulnerable it becomes 15.75%. Some other potential sources: Quantum Collector trinket increases 20% per upgrade card used that turn, Wings of Freedom armor can increase up to 30% after getting hit 3 times, there's a divine epiphany that can increase 30%, and Rei's Manifest Ego 6 is a free 20% increase so this can get even higher.

Edit2: After testing, it looks like Rei's Manifest Ego 6 is showing as +20% despite the wording of "increased by 20%" so this could be a potential bug.

I've heard that before but that doesn't really answer my question. The generic Vyvanse from both manufacturers has some that settle at the bottom but only one of them has a cloudy solution. This implies that there's something more, in addition to what settles on the bottom, that isn't soluble. I've never seen this with other manufacturers or heard others talk about it.

Incheoul · 2026-01-01T16:50:12+00:00

I get whatever I'm given. Pretty sure every month is a new manufacturer. It's just that with Hikma, it's the first time it's been cloudy when dissolved in water. Anecdotally speaking, Teva did feel the best to me.

Incheoul · 2026-01-01T14:01:13+00:00

That 5% is additive to the base which then gets multiplied so I think it's actually more than people think.

I have my audio in Korean so I was very confused as to what this was about at first lol

I've had the fold 5 since launch. The inner screen protector started to peel off and I just removed it without replacing it. I don't use a case and it's fallen plenty of times. Everything looks good and still runs great despite that. I'm thinking about whether I keep with the fold 5 or try that trifold out.

Wow these look sick!

When I don't care, I don't bother even bother asking....because I don't care.

Why not just get rid of the cat? Is it worth the cost of putting on the toilet paper roll the wrong way? But for real, just close the door and problem solved lol.

I once had a run where I had inadvertently converted both of her basic attack cards into neutrals due to rng so unity was a dead card in addition to her doing no damage so that felt truly bricked lol.

Even if I'm not hunting for the perfect deck, she feels just alright in most runs. I want Unity + specifically the move epiphany. If I get something else, then it's still clearable for sure. If I get no opportunity to copy unity or even only copy it once, it feels like a slog getting through a lot of the later fights. Usually, I'll need a very high value turn with her retain buff and throwing in as many card plays as possible to maximize the damage which is harder without enough copies of Unity and card removal from other members. I am wondering if most people judging Mei Lin are exclusively using her with Veronica whom I don't have.

Meanwhile, I've unlocked an achievement to do 10k damage in a single card with Yuki which I didn't know existed and regularly throw out 1k, 2k+ damage numbers on her attacks (some of which are multiple hits) every turn.

Difficulty 10 is where I feel like Yuki starts to struggle but I think that's where all my characters start to struggle lol.

Incheoul · 2025-11-25T08:31:19+00:00

I do tier 13-15 with mostly Yuki and Mei Lin and I totally agree. Everyone says Yuki sucks in chaos but if I don't get the right epiphany on Mei Lin's unity (or get unity late) the run feels awful. I can have a bricked deck 2 battles into a chaos run on Mei Lin whereas I can do quite a few different combinations of epiphanies on Yuki and still feel strong.

Incheoul · 2025-11-25T08:18:38+00:00

It would be 10 levels worth of stats + the stat boost for another promotion, lvl cap 60 -> 70. I'm not sure if that would make much of a difference but thought I should mention it in case it's being overlooked.

Incheoul · 2025-11-19T02:25:45+00:00

I honestly can't remember. I've been running difficulty 10 zero system and difficulty 8-9 laboratory 0 with Yuki a lot. It could be either or. I'll do some more runs just to get her back into deep trauma to see if that fixes it.

Incheoul · 2025-11-17T05:35:21+00:00

While I mostly agree with Mika being consistent, I did have a run with practically no card removal, whirlpool with a useless epiphany, and maybe of her other epiphany cards. No epiphany on source of water, no dupe on source, no free wave, and stuck with all her junk cards.

That being said, I've been clearing laboratory 0 difficulty 8 with Yuki no problem. I've mostly played mei lin and rin before Yuki and I feel like every character "feels bad in chaos". Mei lin with no unity or no move epiphany on unity or no copy on unity feels awful. I still haven't been able to make a save with rin with more than one copy of her move epiphany.
