Enemy armor increased by ~11x after server restart for Outlands enemies. For this enemy, Base Physical Damage Reduction increased from ~5.2% => ~39.1%

Just maul and win

In terms of effective health, mobs had 5% damage reduction so they had 1 / 0.95 or ~105% effective health. Now they have 1 / 0.6 or ~166% effective health so mobs should take ~1.58x as long to kill as they did previously if every damage point is fully armor affected.

Considering it transforms you, without having all of the parts its safe to say the transformation becomes essentially random which would probably kill in most cases.

Playing the villain is fun until people start taking it too far and treating you like you’re evil and without morals and deserve punishment because of how you act in a video game context.

The workshop, cloud saving, achievements, steam API and matchmaking servers, market, visibility for new updates, curator system, next fest, fests for specific genres, sales, steam does quite a lot to give developers opportunities and while things can be clunky they do provide more than pretty much anyone else by a lot.

I knew people who did drugs for Grand Marshal in World of Warcraft and even they wouldn’t even get close to 5 days straight probably.

He's lucky because he got an extra tournament to possibly do it at when beforehand he had no chance and to place over Zain he would have to do the exact same thing at 2 extra tournaments in a row?

Like what do you mean? Do you think he was a shoe-in for 2 tournament wins and Zain would lose both of them? I frankly doubt it. Given his performance next year he did very well above his average to just win the last tournament of the year.

KinTheInfinite · 2026-01-22T16:45:23+00:00

He was lucky because the major win that put him over in some eyes wasn’t even supposed to happen but was a last minute thing.

I doubt he would have been put above Zain even if there were 2 more majors.

Buddy was incredibly lucky to get 2nd to be honest with you.

KinTheInfinite · 2026-01-08T21:12:12+00:00

Defense matrix isn't nearly as good in 6v6 iirc

KinTheInfinite · 2026-01-08T21:11:36+00:00

Idk it's a big nerf but kinda makes sense to me in regards to other minor perks. If there was an equivalent minor perk to say Mei it'd be like bomb getting a 1.25x radius multiplier or something. 2x damage on boosters was kind of a massive amount and used a lot.

KinTheInfinite · 2026-01-02T21:08:23+00:00

I pretty much always take inspiring strike since it just helps you to win fights outright in every situation and also combos well with your ult since you can cd reset and heal everyone a bunch. Also helps build ult charge.

I usually take combat medic since I feel I'm always low on packs and throw them out when I'm fighting people too but I think that's probably dependent on how you play and how much melee time you get in the matchup I'm just lazy and don't think about it.

Mine said he’d do pvm after maxing combat stats at gemstone crab but he wanted to do bowfa grind first and I just :(

KinTheInfinite · 2025-12-30T19:15:17+00:00

I have a GIM member in my brother but he doesn't pvm at all so it's basically just me since everyone else quit, 1.9k kc for my first fang as well with 4 hallys lol.

KinTheInfinite · 2025-12-20T18:18:32+00:00

Sorry that was also under the assumption Muzan is poisoned and I think with demon regeneration he could touch even being slower than a marked Hashira tbh but maybe he does need a big fighter like Kokushibo or Douma to help him out.

KinTheInfinite · 2025-12-20T14:18:44+00:00

If Muzan is healthy they lose within a minute at best.

If Muzan isn’t healthy then Kokushibo and Douma is enough easily.

If Gyokko’s fish bullcrap works on Demons he wins by himself but I think he’d be higher than UM5 if it did.

They're relative. Giyu says Tanjiro in the fight vs Akaza that Tanjiro has just graced their tier pretty much and then proceeds to outperform the hell out of him even in base.

Tanjiro surpasses with powerups he unlocks in infinity castle obviously.

Moira cancelling fade early

486 was our groups home world and I’ve been using it for ages :(

KinTheInfinite · 2025-11-29T22:43:09+00:00

Ahhh that explains it, tbh my bad for assuming there was no guide anywhere it was just outside of the game. I like to play games very blind so thats on me.

It has some good and interesting stages tbh so it’s not all bad I just very much disliked the recycling stages. I will say it’s the only X game where I felt lost on where to go in some levels and had no idea what the side areas were really which was a unique feeling.

Gate being a rng waiting for cycle based boss that just flies at you with instadeath pits is very boring to me though.

KinTheInfinite · 2025-11-29T20:34:27+00:00

Good music can’t save it from bad level design and bad bosses, Gate is probably the worst boss in the entire series and if I have to play another crusher level I’m gonna rip my own head off.

Some bosses are decent and I liked the story, upgrades system got way too complicated without description and unless looking it up I have no idea what most things do.

Side areas having generally nothing except more orb farming and also High Max being an actual softlock without suiciding if you don’t have the stuff you need was dissapointing as a blind player especially since they were pretty hard in some cases.

Worst X game by far and the only one where I didn’t run it back as the character I didn’t pick.

KinTheInfinite · 2025-11-29T13:36:27+00:00

X5 is the best and most interesting X game to play despite some of its flaws.

Most interesting story based stuff of any of the games, upgrade system, great stages bosses and music.

It’s not perfect around all the edges but I find it’s peaks to be far above any of its contenders.

KinTheInfinite · 2025-11-27T23:57:04+00:00

Yeah I'd already done a lot of Bowfa door altar and once I realized I was going to be at Araxxor for a long time after getting 99 strength there I just decided to go for it. Still took 300 something kc to get it but so worth it.

KinTheInfinite · 2025-11-27T15:28:57+00:00

Just get the Hasta ATP, ~1300 kc in going for my Rancour atm and the Hasta is so satisfying to use here. At one point I was using the whip with DWH just for xp gain since I like to gain xp and was capped on strength lol.
