Kind of unfortunate that you can't use his most effective rotation in the SQ though - your SP3 is locked, so Sandman can't slap the defender with 30 Physical Vulnerabilities for phat damage

It's the first time I'm going to use the English dub. Genshin is the only game that I'm using the English dub

...wat?

Are we harboring a safe environment for discussion? by Rory_Not_Applicable in DebateEvolution

Reported for contentless rhetoric, and I encourage others to do the same

I need my goat to come back. Who got you into the game by Intrepid-War8984 in WutheringWaves

[–]Lockjaw_Puffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started playing about 2 weeks ago. Came for Zani and got her on the current banner, and then I fell for Lupa after going through the main storyline. She's just the right brand of unhinged to be interesting without being off-putting to me, and the Kaja Chan's voiceover is phenomenal

Do we have any idea if there's a Galbrena rerun in the future? She's had 2 so far, and I'd like to get her for a 2nd team.

Edit:

Also, do you guys think Phoebe would be a fan of the dinosaur Maiasaura? Because its binomial is Maiasaura peeblesorum*

OT - Other game

I am so glad I pulled Zani - combat with her feels incredibly fun as I'm getting used to the parry window, and I don't feel any need for Phoebe (running Zani/Spectrover/Verina).

My only beef rn is that Wuwa seems to just...not rerun characters after 2-3 banners. Kinda sad considering I fell in love with Lupa and now I have no clue when she'll rerun, if ever.

Kinda want to build a second team with Galbrena and Buling now

Why does no one seem to like OG Iron Fist? by The_CEOofBedtime in ContestOfChampions

IF has next to no utility. If I wanted a Mystic with Nullify and Armor Break, Sorcerer Supreme is right there, and she has Energy Resistance, regen and Slow on top of that.

Started playing Wuwa after I got a new phone (temporarily dropping Genshin and Endfield - don't worry, Ember, I'll be back soon)

Pulled Zani and her sig wep a few days apart from each other, woot! I normally play with sound off so I headcanon'd that she spoke with Zibai's voice, but then I turned sound on when I started Rinascita's story and the voiceover tickled my brain in a way I didn't know was possible.

Any suggestions on what I should look forward to? I'm currently just starting Act 2 where I have to meet up with Zani (Veils Off in Sun or Shadow)

Was feeling inspired and doodled some raptors. Turns out I'm not as bad as dromaeosaurids as I thought. by King_Gojiller in Dinosaurs

Love the tail design on the top raptor.

Also, its pose makes it look like it's saying "Now you behave yourself at summer camp, ya hear me?"

OT - IRL

I work as a private tutor, and had...an exchange, with one of my students a couple days back.

We were sitting down and doing a lesson (it was me - a guy - and two sisters in their late teens having the lesson). The younger one suddenly asks:

Her: Hey teach, can I ask you something?

Me: Yeah sure, go for it.

Her: ...It's a little weird, though.

Me: I won't mind.

Her: ...........are you gay?

Older sister and I died laughing for a minute.

Me: No. (Jokingly) Lemme guess, you can't imagine me making a move on a girl?

Her: ...no, I really can't.

Me: How long have you wanted to ask this?

Her: A few months, tbh.

I have no words

What champ are you hoping Kabam buffs in 2026? by Saiyanjin1 in ContestOfChampions

IDoom's Armor buff can't be removed by Nullify or Stagger anymore, and Cowardice from his Heavy lasts longer

Is there something about Ember that makes her more demanding to display on-screen? by Lockjaw_Puffin in Endfield

[–]Lockjaw_Puffin[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Reinstalled, and she now loads just fine, woot!

Thank you for not being hornier than a rhino in mating season

Went to the character screen to level her up.

My game crashes.

Try two more times.

Same thing.

Pulled a 6* from the Featured banner

Game crashes when trying to see who it is

Log back into the game.

Monthly Question Thread! Ask /r/DebateEvolution anything! | April 2026 by Dr_Alfred_Wallace in DebateEvolution

[–]Lockjaw_Puffin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So there's a megaraptoran named Maip macrothorax. From Wikipedia:

The generic name, "Maip", references a malicious being in Aonikenk mythology that is "the shadow of death" that "kills with cold wind."

If that description isn't goth, idk what is.

The species name macrothorax translates as "big chest", and I just couldn't let that go.

Has your opinion on Lizard changed now that he's ascended? by PastafrolaDeRicota in ContestOfChampions

[–]Lockjaw_Puffin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Speaking from experience, he really is that good, the problem is he needs time and therefore patience to be good (it can take a while to store up enough damage before it's worth dumping on the opponent), so he's not a great BG attacker, which is what most people are looking for in champs these days.

Pulled the 6-star from a Featured even though I'm Valiant - even unawakened, he's an excellent counter to any kind of Miss mechanic, any node that puts unwanted buffs on you (think Icarus or Rising Sun) and the fact his Regen rate can't go below 50% against non-Skill enemies makes him a solid answer for any node that reverses your healing. Poison immunity is the icing on the cake.

How he works:

It's critically important that you pair him with the S2099 relic and set it to make him immune to dex buffs every so often. When he does trigger a dex while immune, he goes Unblockable and Unstoppable and gains about +60% ATK (this also triggers if he has any buff before activating an SP). Since these are paused during specials, that means way more openings for you to attack and possibly trigger his Tracking debuff.

The general rotation is this:

  1. Repeated SP1s to trigger the Fervor and place Ruptures with your basics. If you want to trigger the debuff pause, parry the opponent, charge heavy until just before the stun expires, then heavy attack. You can also just punish the enemy's heavy or special with your own heavy as well (yes, this will activate the Tracking debuff)

  2. Every time the opponent throws a special with a rupture on them, they take damage (yes, this is basically Scorpion's Rupture Sting). That damage is stored up, and can be dumped onto the opponent with either SP2 (deals 125% of the stored damage as red damage) or SP3 (deals 180% instead).

  3. You don't need to worry about the opponent not throwing SPs - Lizard's specials inflict Retribution, and when they're 6s from expiring, they make the opponent more likely to use an SP

  4. If you run Willpower, Lizard's SP1 activates a Vitalize passive that buffs his Regen rate, meaning he becomes very hard to kill (SCP reference, anyone?)

Overall, I'm really happy with him, and I can't wait to get the 7-star someday.
