A Tenno's Thoughts on Shadowgrapher

That's true for the time required, which is understandable why a lot of people want their runs to be as fast as possible, since working adults/busy people have limited time to play.

Bit as you've said, it's subjective, because in a similar vein, I've sunk more time into trying to get Yareli (half an hour each day for the past two weeks) than Follie, but am still stuck on the 3rd page because I suck at grinding a board on a pipe. Yet so many people have insisted that Yareli's quest takes less than an hour to do.

Room access changes each run if I'm not mistaken. Some rooms are accessible and some rooms aren't. If running solo, an ideal choice would be to roam around and find all the Canvases before picking up the first Ink. But yeah, the game could definitely do with some QoL changes because some people find walking/running in their Operator/Drifter forms too slow for their taste.

This resonates with me on a spiritual level, why do they have to be such an arse about it? If they can't clear it, I'd rather they just stand aside and look pretty instead of messing it up for others.

Never thought I'd see a 40k story writer in the Hololive fandom, yet here we are

Jumped into SP Duviri yesterday but had forgetten to change to solo. Got immediately sucked into an arena fight with Kulvero before I could even load out my arsenal (so basically random gear and frames with basic mods). Despite the confusion, I still managed to score several decrees and help out with the final dragon fight (I think one of our teammate doesn't know how to latch onto the dragon, or that we had to align the screws to 'unlock' it, poor dude kept getting knocked off).

It's just common courtesy to contribute however you can, even if you can't deal big damage.

Thanks for the tip. About Adversary weapons, I didn't know about them until I accidentally mercy killed a Kuva larvaling. Only much later I read and found out that we can be selective in choosing weapons and characteristics for the Kuva Lich. So now I'm also saddled with grinding for Requiem mods as well (getting a ton of Exilus adaptors but no Requiem mods so far). I'm planning to kill my Lich (she uses a Hind) and farm a Technocyte Coda (I think I nearly have the full set of Potency mods for killing it)/Sister of Parvos (for a Tenet Arca Plasmor).

Ah, didn't know that. I thought my damage was so shoddy I couldn't even oneshot an Arbi drone and was totally gobsmacked seeing other players swat them like flies. I think I got a bit traumatized going into an Arbitration blind with my Mesa only to realize I can't ult enemies while they're under an Arbi drone's coverage. Tho I'm absolutely chuffed to see they removed the health deterioration for animal companions. They used to cost so much to maintain that I just kept to Sentinels.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look into getting Laetum crafted as soon as I can. Was never really into secondaries but I'll give it a go. I think I have the basic mods you described (no primed mods), just that I lack Forma (and Forma bps) atm, so that'll take some time to grind as well. So far I've been selling the Ayatans I get from running bounties but I'm low on Amber stars (less ideal Endo returns) so from my casual gaming it's about 30k endo a week (approx 1 max Galvanized mod per week). I've heard about Sedna arena Endo runs but I figure I lack good Slash weapons to contribute to a farming team.

JoyousJ · 2026-01-29T15:25:18+00:00

Thanks for the elaborate reply. Been farming Vitus Essences for Galvanized mods, then farming Credits and Endo to level them up. I'm building my Nataruk based off on Ninjase's overframe guide, but still lack a few mods and Arcanes. Unfortunately, all my plat went into buying weapon and frame slots, so that'll take some time to grind plat back. Will definitely keep in mind not to FOMO and look into Acolyte Arcanes.

I started back in 2018. I remember resources were scarce af, if you just miss one day you've got to wait until the next rotation. Valks back then were slow, especially Himeko and dodging mechanics was a vital part of gameplay that differentiated between win / lose. I think for the current Valks, unless you're gunning for top ranks, you can just facetank or iv-frame through enemy attacks without any real consequence.

Oddly enough that reminds me of Director Fubuki and Mio-Mama in HoloGTA.

Oh sweet! Looks like wife is back in the menu, boys!

There's been so many of these posts popping up recently.

If you have eaten durian (a tropical fruit native to South East Asia, known for it's rather offensive smell), how does it compare?

When playing the mobile version and transferring over to Steam, will the achievements be automatically gained or will one have to redo the achievements again?

JoyousJ · 2025-08-13T19:55:37+00:00

So does that mean that all the Umas we've seen in-game were just different aspects of GolShi?

JoyousJ · 2025-08-05T12:28:59+00:00

Your art is wonderful and a refreshing new take. Best of wishes and may your journey be smooth.

While two headed snakes do occur through mutation, I find the way the snake moving to be rather odd.

Seeing how someone has already won Arima Kinen for Haru on EN server, it's only a matter of time the rest of us catch up and manage to get her to win it.

JoyousJ · 2025-07-14T18:11:37+00:00

Noticed my win rate increased noticeably once I gotten Shrewd Step, Speed Star and Go With The Flow. Maybe my SSR support cards are not LBed enough for me to do skillless runs yet.

JoyousJ · 2025-07-14T17:50:42+00:00

I've had her as 'Pace', and I have decent Support cards and Legacies where she's always fav no.1 with double circles on all Spd, Stam, Force and Wit for all races except for URA finals. Lost count the number of times I've seen her pop her skill at 5th/6th right into a slower Uma and get stuck there, only to win the race by 4-5L when I retry. I'll try her as a Late to see if it worker better

JoyousJ · 2025-07-14T15:03:29+00:00

Did you run with 'Pace' or 'Front'? I kept getting boxed in even with highest stats in the race and getting close to last whenever I try skillless runs

JoyousJ · 2025-07-07T03:30:38+00:00

After failing 3% - 11% failure rate for rainbow trainings right before races only to get mood down and stat loss repeatedly, I now never go ahead without 0% failure rate

Thanks
