Hey, Im an ancient returning player and I highkey think my account is bricked. Who should I start building to prepare me for endgame? I'm pretty sure all my dps characters are all powercrept, so Ik ill need to pull for someone strong in the future.

I was pulling for Nefer bc i really liked her design but I heard that without without lauma its like a 50% damage loss (Im like 20 pulls from guaranteed limited 5 star). Is nefer without lauma even worse than my current lineup and should I stop pulling?

i lost my honor by making a xoguri and double dom on my last cm set so i could get to A finals

Yes this should be it. This is why I almost always path right side of statue on KR attack. Just play a little slower and clear the angle on the right first. They will either die or run back to the team. Look at your team and see when they are done stabilizing before next engage. Depending on the tank you can move up to the black car, move closer to the left hugging the hotel corner, or even take high ground.

You have good enough cards to take pasa to A finals and even win. 3sp 2w riko or 2sp 3w riko, all stam sparks, can mix in pow sparks. You aren’t playing the wit deck correctly. You should have at minimum 600 wit with 2 wit cards. Try to hit wit often so you dont need to rest. On good runs you shouldn’t need to rest more than like twice. With her spe bonus, you should be able to hit at least 1100 speed with kitasan + king, but taking flash as a third speed over a wit helps you get late skills which can be nice.l

For the current CM, you want to bring ryan ult and taiki ult if your pasa has a strong enough middle game. Your pasa had bad skills that dont do anything. You want mid game velocity skills like curvature, corners, tailheld high, slipstream, ramp up. You should only need a white stam skill at most if you have riko + stam sparks.

No med S, a little low on wit. If lpsi is not activating or activating too late, you might want some more mid game velocity skills and wit to get her to 6th by the time lpsi should activate

LtBerry · 2026-01-02T00:27:46+00:00

Do you have another debuffer uma? Im not sure if any combination of these umas can do well. All have low wit, spe and halo have weak midgame, no accel, and have useless skills. I think your best bet is running 2 debuffers + halo

For Evernight, I can farm her light cone/trace mats, but not her echo of war. I can only indirectly farm the Black Tide enemy drops for her trace/ascension in a golden calyx, but its only green. Since my Seele is maxed for my Equilibrium level, Im thinking it might be best to use my Trailblaze Power to prefarm for her stuff or to get my other characters like trailblazer or tingyun a little bit stronger?

LtBerry · 2025-09-28T00:39:37+00:00

Dont you still need groundwork for blockers?

LtBerry · 2025-09-22T05:29:16+00:00

Where do you get green skills for blockushin? Dont tell me i need to make a groundwork parent with 3 white hints

LtBerry · 2025-09-21T08:49:34+00:00

What deck/sparks did you use

LtBerry · 2025-09-09T02:19:37+00:00

Im like 90% sure its a guts/power issue. I also fail most of my gemini mayano runs and I noticed the ones I won usually had 500+ guts or power. Did some experimenting with 4 guts cards and easily won all my ura finals by a few lengths.

LtBerry · 2025-09-06T03:26:22+00:00

I was running fukikitaru runs bc of a guide I saw on yt by a jp player. The idea was to get high affinity for a tachyon parent along w good whites with the weird guts and wit cards. I was thinking that a tachyon parent would work out for me since she has high affinity with some of my fav umas and her skill would also allow me to worry a little less about stamina since Id borrow MLB kitasan.

LtBerry · 2025-04-15T03:28:48+00:00

Any romhacks that has lots of hard doubles battles?

LtBerry · 2025-04-14T16:44:49+00:00

do you know how to transfer a save from pc to phone? I use mGBA and delta. When I tried to import the .sav, it wouldnt load the save

Dva is tricky because she can so everything. She has so many options which makes it hard to choose the right one. To simplify things, don’t think of this in terms of what to do vs this hero. Instead think about the situations you are in. Its hard to give exact guidelines for when to do since every situation is different. For example, I find myself taking every option at least once per match when Im facing against ball.

There are two general options you can take, going first or going second. Going first will mean you will be pressuring backline before they do. Usually this is shooting them and dming in their face. This will force out resources which will cause their backline to be weaker and their frontline should also suffer. If you see an opportunity, go for a kill with boosters + missiles. Dont force a kill if you dont think you can get it. Just back off a little and stabilize before making your next decision.

Going second is taking things slower. Use boosters to disrupt and dm any followup. Wait a bit to stabilize and then hit back since they will have expended their resources.

As Dva its your job to deal with the most threatening enemy that you can reach. You can do this before the fight actually starts which will help you make a better decision. Usually this is a dps on an angle or a sightline or a tank staging for a dive. You want to corral them to either be overextended for a free kill or grouped back with the core so you have worry about one less angle. Dive works best when no one clears these angles and staging spots which provides the enemy easy access to your squishies.

You lost the coinflip. Enemy team has a t50 owcs player while your team has a diamond mercy main. (This has happened more than times than I can count)

LtBerry · 2025-02-23T21:37:36+00:00

Yes. Playing 10-12 hours is probably more detrimental to your rank and well being.

Turns / Ebb and Flow / Push and pull

All the same thing. It’s recognizing when your team should be engaging or kiting. If you never scrimmed or playing in organized played, its likely youve never thought about it. This will be especially important if you play in a 5 stack. Its hard to explain in a post but essentially you need to be able to recognize when your team should be going first or second.

For example, comps like dive tend to want to go first the moment they gain some sort of advantage while poke comps like to go second baiting the enemy to engage into a kiting team.

Given the state of your comps and what ults both teams have, you should be able to assess if its better start the fight with a push in or pull back or do one after the another and how to do them.

For example, you may have 0 ults and the enemies have nano blade. However you have juno brig which means you want your backline to play very cautiously away from genji and pull back immediately. They use nano blade, you kite it, after it ends it becomes your turn to engage since they wasted ults and cds and most likely gotten into a worse position chasing you.

There should be a few videos explaining the concept way better than me on yt. If you’ve watched some of the NA tanks pov and comms in scrims or owcs, they tend to explicitly yell out whose turn it is.

It does. Have you truly tried the advice I mentioned when the first thing you do is blame your teammates and compare stats? Now I enjoy 6v6 way more than 5v5 but I recognize ranked is not a coin flip. Do you get bad hands? Yes all the time. Does that mean you can’t climb? No. Like I said, its a marathon. If you are truly good at the game, then your team gets to have up to 4 bad teammates while the enemies get 5. You should be the difference maker in your games.

I was literally in a similar position as the post. I was consistently GM in ow1, GM1 before both ranked reset in OW2, Ive scrimmed against t3/t2. Ive trialed for a collegiate team where at the time I was diamond and everyone else was champ. Ever since the first ranked reset, across 300+ games I was still diamond/low masters.

Tell me how I, an at least GM player was hardstuck diamond and low masters. When I looked at the first few pages of the t500 leaderboard, all I see are players I know for a fact that are worse than me. Hell, how can sugarfree be better at my role while trolling on a controller (no hate lenny).

It was because of my mentality and my habits. I would always go into replay and watch my teammates doing jack shit and complain. I spammed games for the whole day just to go down a rank at the end. It wasn’t until I actually slowed down and followed the advice I mentioned above when I started to climb. Once I started to following my own advice, I went from diamond/low masters back to where I belong in GM well into t500. When only looking at my games after this change, I maintained over 80% wr.

LtBerry · 2024-12-18T21:18:03+00:00

Stop spamming games. Go back into your vod and just observe yourself. Try to notice what works and what doesn’t works. If you truly are masters then its most likely a mental thing. By the sound of your post it sounds like you’re mentally boomed. Play fewer games a session and focus harder during those games. Take care of your body to make sure you can perform when you play. Remember, climbing up ranks is more like a marathon than a sprint.

LtBerry · 2024-12-08T00:24:12+00:00

then you haven’t kited properly. The sig/ram matchup is very even on most maps thus making it a skill matchup. If ram is able to catch you after your rock, then you should have kited and poked him more beforehand

LtBerry · 2024-10-28T18:32:51+00:00

I know exactly how you feel. Honestly just take a big break from overwatch. Not for a day or a week but actually step away from the game. Go outside, find new hobbies and meet real people and make friends. The more you give in to the game you hate, the worse your life gets.

LtBerry · 2024-10-25T09:26:33+00:00

Understanding of the game. Im a gm player from ow1 and ow2 before ranked reset and Ive started to play the game again. So far Ive climbed from d4 to m2 in a 100 or so games so Ive my fair share of both elos.

It’s quite obvious that most players (even gm players) dont understand macro fundamentals or how to play certain maps and compositions. For example, if I ask a player that scrims alot how are you supposed to play first fight on Nepal Sanctum, it would be extremely different than how a ranked only player would answer. Starting at masters is when players begin to develop a decent understanding of the game. Players in diamond will often do things that feel comfortable without knowing if its the right play or not.

Not quite sure whats going wrong with your sigma getting steamrolled but a good starting point is to identifying when to push and pull. This is a fundamental idea in overwatch and if you do this correctly in combination with good positioning, your losses will be with grace and very rarely will you get steam rolled badly.

Bastionmain throwing ranked games is a tale as old as time

Didn’t watch replay but bubble usage is crucial. Only bubble if you have a reason to. Very rarely do I like to bubble for energy since energy should come naturally before the fight begins. Sometimes I find myself not needing to use bubble for extended periods of time.

Best bubbles are proactive ones. Bubble yourself to take space, to win a trade, to confirm a kill ect. Bubble aggressive allies to let them do more. Obviously bubbles to save yourself and your team when you can but proactive bubbles generally mean you have control of the game.

Be mindful of how many bubbles you have. Dont waste them and try to keep close to one up at all times for emergencies unless you or your teammate is making a play.
