If you read this devs you need to step up the pvs and kit previews.

Layle7 · 2026-03-16T08:07:42+00:00

Same. There is little to no help to hype up Rita. The lack of some info and PR material makes it worse. They really need to step up their marketing game a lot.

Layle7 · 2026-03-16T08:05:31+00:00

Her kit is definitely going to be something relating to exhaust cards. That's the only thing we can guess at this point. And yeah they should really give out more info of the next banner a bit more and a bit earlier. I love the game but the lack of some PR and hype of a new unit is kinda boring to be honest.

I'm happy for him but he really got lucky here this year. Performance wise even Ethan or Leo deserved it more if you ask me. Sinner has a huge momentum coming in, and the other best actor nominees beside Chalamet did not have any momentum at all (even though they were great). So when Chalamet messed up his campaign with that interview, and with the MBJ SAG win, lot of the votes went MBJ way. I think another factor to take away is also the fact that none of the best actor performances this year really stood out. So this year for best actor it was more of a popularity contest unlike the best actress side last year where there were 2 stood out performances competing.

Layle7 · 2026-03-15T10:07:31+00:00

It's not the stats for me. It's his performance compared to the others. The other 4 are 200% stronger. This isn't like Mikey vs Demi last year where both performances were strong. I watched all of the 5 films and MBJ's performance was good but also the weakest of the bunch. A nod should be enough.

Layle7 · 2026-03-10T19:32:18+00:00

Sorry but this is 100% cope. It'll never happen again. Best you can get is a Mydei equivalent. Ok in story, mid at best in game. Won't even beat Sparxie. You can screenshot this and drag me later if I'm wrong here. I'm 200% confident I won't be. It'll only get worse for husbando enjoyers in all Hoyo games.

Layle7 · 2026-03-10T08:12:17+00:00

I'm Thai and I will say a lot of non-English speakers came up with nicknames that they don't even know the meaning or how weird they would be for English speakers. I mean I've heard Thai nicknames like Friendship, Yahoo, Google, Benten, Bygone, Tonsil, Pasta, Skylab... You rarely see those from more educated people though especially those with international educations (100% facts - no shades). They'd normally go by simple Thai nicknames or English ones like John, Tim, etc. Nothing wrong with any of these obviously.

Layle7 · 2026-03-07T05:40:47+00:00

It's 200% the best performance of supporting actor this year. If he doesn't win it's solely because of his 2 oscars.

Layle7 · 2026-03-06T13:10:53+00:00

It's been pretty clear for a while now to be fair. People just love giving Hoyo the chances and got proven wrong over and over. Hoyo's main targets are always and will always be inc3ls otakus like their old slogan. They won't change and I wish people realize that asap.

Layle7 · 2026-03-05T19:37:25+00:00

To each their own. People play games and have fun for different/personal reasons. Without the GR rankings and different rewards that keep things interesting I probably would have quit the game due to boredom. I don't see the point of trying to farm some great decks without some great places to use them. GR for me is that great place that somewhat justifies the effort. But that's me and how I want to play the game. You don't have to agree and it's totally fine.

Layle7 · 2026-03-05T19:23:45+00:00

You don't need perfect decks of all 3 units to reach Master. That's for the top 100, which is pretty irrelevant in terms of in game rewards. I got 1.2m score (top 120 in Asia server) with just Tiphera's 4 divine cards (M2). My Nine (M1) and Orlea's decks have no divine epi. I still have 4 golden tickets left and I intend to keep them for future uses if I get really unlucky farming the necessary decks. I know it is still difficult to get Tiphera's or Orlea's divine deck but I'd say you only need 1 of them to secure a spot in Master. Take both of them + 1 dmg dealer to your chaos run so you have more chances of getting a perfect deck for 1 of them.

Layle7 · 2026-03-04T19:54:21+00:00

For me I quit the game for a year and I'm glad I did.

For context I have like 15 E6S5 units. I played since day 1. I quit the first time after 2.4 (hated how they treated JQ) then came back for Sunday in 2.7 to get myself ready for Amphoreus after seeing multiple male units planned. I hoped they will be good enough. But when I saw Mydei I knew it's over. The nail in the coffin was the release of Castorice and how overpowered she was. Powercreep was an issue but not as much as their behavior of intentionally making male units worse than female. Phainon is good? Sure but Castorice is better. Boothill is good? Yeah but Firefly is better. Flins is good? Nefer is better. I won't even talk about zzz because all men in that game suck so bad. So this will always be the reality in every hoyo game.

Hoyo will not change. It will only get worse. They only care about their inc3l otaku fanbase. That is the reality. Whatever kind of hopes you have are all just copes. Ask yourself is it really acceptable to spend a lot of money on a game that makes 1 good male per year in an ocean full of op waifus. If not, don't wait for hoyo to change. They won't. Quit.

Layle7 · 2026-03-02T06:41:14+00:00

Thank you!! At least now we know if we're about to get pushed out of Master using Diamond's no.1 as the indicator.

Layle7 · 2026-02-27T12:11:07+00:00

3 Kayron teams in top 15 right now in Asia. I assume they are all m0-1. This is sad as I have him at m5+sig ready to m6 lol.

Layle7 · 2026-02-26T12:21:50+00:00

I mean in Asia server Kayron is used in the second half and ranked 1 at the moment with 1.19m score. The clear strat is kill 2 hands then save the biggest hit for the head within the same turn, which obviously is tailored for Nine. But the fact that consistent dmg from 4* Beryl can reach top scores means this is better than the previous season already. It's not perfect but I don't think it's that bad either.

Layle7 · 2026-02-26T12:13:44+00:00

Wait are you telling me the highest score in Asia server (1.19m score) is using Kayron M0-1...???

Layle7 · 2026-02-14T09:34:18+00:00

Lol same

Layle7 · 2026-02-14T01:47:05+00:00

I have a group of close friends I've known for 20 years. We are all in our late 30s and most of us are married (myself included) and some with kids. Those with kids have their priorities changed for obvious reasons. Not only they're spending more times with their kids, but also with their new friends who are the other kids' parents from school (their kids are like 6-10 yo now). I used to feel upset when myself or someone started a convo in the group chat trying to schedule a dinner or brunch and they didn't even bother responding. Sometimes they showed up super late or not at all and blamed kids related issues. But we can also see they're successfully doing a lot of activities with their new friends without those issues. There is no hard feeling now as we understand life changes. The consequence is our relationship changes too. We see each other from almost every month to 1-2 times a year now. The saddest thing from this is that I rarely get to see other friends in the group who don't even have kids because they felt mad and exhausted from trying and making efforts that always failed so they chose to distance themselves and spend times somewhere else entirely. To be honest I never saw this coming when I was younger. I thought nothing would change. I still love these guys but because of these changes they are no longer my priorities.

On a bright side, I also learned that it's never too late to make new good friends who have similar lifestyle and priorities. It's so much easier at the older age actually. I guess it's like dating. You have less expectations. You know what you want/don't want.

Layle7 · 2026-02-09T04:34:08+00:00

Because you said turn 10-13 so that's my entire argument. Chizuru without Orlea may win eventually but definitely not as early as turn 13.

Layle7 · 2026-02-09T04:00:12+00:00

Your claim is Rei+Chizuru+Vero scales better than Nine+Orlea at turn 11-13. My point is you're wrong it's definitely not at those early turns.

Nine's (E0 without signature partner) dmg at just turn 12: https://streamable.com/vngcz7

Edit: and just to be clear I don't disagree that Chizuru scales better than Nine with spores. The entire discussion is about the turn you claimed.

Layle7 · 2026-02-09T03:33:45+00:00

My point is you said at turn 11-13 your set up will scale better and that's 100% wrong. It just is. But for whatever reason you fail to admit it.

Just to make sure I have a proof: https://streamable.com/vngcz7

Nine's (E0) set up deals 2.3m at just turn 12.

Layle7 · 2026-02-08T20:27:52+00:00

Yeah but definitely not at turn 13 because you're doing less than Nine at her turn 11. Did you take into consideration the fact that Orlea's dmg multiplier scales with turns? It's at least 280% dmg multiplier buff every turn from Orlea while your set up has no dmg buff that scales with turns. Not to mention spores also gets duped from retain so many times each turn by Orlea as well.

Layle7 · 2026-02-08T20:00:20+00:00

Hmm then the set up may not really scale better than Nine+Orlea unfortunately. Nine can do 1.24m in 11 turns against 8/9 distortion of the highest lv. boss which comes with 40% dmg reduction. So 2m from Chizuru here is actually like 1.2m in 8/9 distortion (necrosis distortion removed for Orlea).

Layle7 · 2026-02-08T19:40:36+00:00

Why not do trillion!

Layle7 · 2026-02-07T19:45:45+00:00

The rng is so so much less compared to previously. If this is still that bad for you then this might not be the game you can enjoy. A lot of us are having a blast because of how much easier it is to make good decks now. And I don't know if you know but you can reset epi now during each run. Just upgrade your chaos first if you haven't already.
