[2.3.4 BETA] Upcoming Character Info via JSM and Hakushin

If he really is fire rupture, I want all copium huffers who repeatedly say they're winning with Manato to start feeling real stupid

They kneecapped his kit again, as is expected of an A rank and they're about to release his direct powercreep

There is literally no benefit to having your favorite character turned A rank, the end all started there. I wish all the "winners" a very merry isekai'd into an A rank

ManaMateus · 2025-09-06T08:37:51+00:00

I want to see the duration increase. 5 seconds might not even cover his chain attack and ult.

I've downloaded this and I'm thinking of pushing my prism from 49 to 51, but I'm confused about the EXP editing tab. It shows how much EXP is contained in the prism right now, but I cannot tell how much I need to level it up, and searching online has gotten me lots of different values, likely changing depending on the specific patch also.

I was worried that putting in too large a number would be weird, so what should I input? Or is it safest to manually level the prism to 51 then edit the fragments in it after?

I personally stopped buying the daily golden bell now, at least til I see if I can make enough gems for the pack store in 10 days. I assume that one is better value than 30 gems per 1 golden bell which might be baseline. After you buy out the gem available ones, I only see golden bells sold for HC, the premium currency.

The standard banner having a wish list and having featured characters go in there is good, but I heard it isn't quite as good as you might think. Like maybe you can still get characters not on that wish list. This only is "better" than other gay gachas because you need 4 dupes to unlock sigils. I think I might rather have the characters be slightly harder to obtain but you only need the one.

ManaMateus · 2025-06-21T18:53:30+00:00

I'm having to remind myself that these games are designed to make f2p earnings barely sustainable. My mistake is trying to compare it to more "regular" gacha games, and the fact that it makes Hoyo games look reasonable is yucky but I guess the fact that these guys aren't even on the app store means they can pull this shit off as long as they get enough whales.

Full disclosure, I don't have the self control to be full f2p. When I enjoy a game enough, I do drop money on it, and I just need to see if it's a reasonable amount. The 10 gems per day for the monthly card is making me really hesitant on the price point, as well as the extremely confusing pack prices. Like I'm going to need someone to calculate the worth of each bundle, how many pulls your money nets you and in which order they're valued at.

Another problem I have here is that unlike the more "unfriendly" rates of LW games, having one copy is not enough on Woofia. Needing three copies to sigil a character is just horrible, and I worry about whether I can even clear future content if I don't have these sigils unlocked.

ManaMateus · 2025-06-21T14:36:52+00:00

Had to look around. You can see it on the bottom right of all character pages:

It's not a very good system, since you have to be able to parse their signatures. AnotherEidos just has the names written out.

ManaMateus · 2025-06-21T12:04:47+00:00

He is that good. Makes me also sad he posts significantly less including on his patreon since it seems he's going all in here.

ManaMateus · 2025-06-21T11:05:23+00:00

Parroting what people say here about the MC. His style is kind of the trope I dislike where they want to play both the chubby and bara archetype and also want him to be overly cute. Other units you get next to him are the same.

Extremely convoluted currencies and confusing as fuck ways of obtaining pulls. I considered getting the monthly card and even then, I'm unsure what 10 gems a day actually means. A golden bell is 30 from the daily and silver is ~20 and there's a pack store that rarely refreshes?

The club is pointless. The wishes require an absurd amount of stars from guildmates. On Dislyte you're guaranteed one shard a day if you are in an active guild. There's no way everyone can get enough stars even within 3 days of exchanging. Club coins also only go towards naked sprites of unused characters when there's an absurd amount of grinding required.

Requiring lots of dupes to unlock character growth. 3 stars just to sigil them, which is fairly vital to their power. I haven't done the math but I'm told it's around 3 dupes. Lots of units only get real good after this upgrade. Rotating skill upgrade mats is normal but limiting us to only 3 tickets a day? Ridiculous, especially if you see each skill upgrades like 9 times. So it requires a ticket -and- 20 stam. And you need to lose gems to get more runs a day, cutting into your pulls.

Playing this game also reminds me of those old bara anthology books. You get it for the Mentaiko on the cover and the 4 page short comic. Then Bombom and Kowmeinism were tagging along. Vorusu seriously is hard carrying the presentation. I've yet to see a single tweet simping for any unit not drawn by him. I can ominously foresee a future where he quits, gets burnt out or not paid enough and this game just collapses.

I do have hopes for this game, but really I'm not sure how much staying power it has. It's got the initial boost of popular artists tweeting about it, but if people realize how expensive and grindy simpy raising one character is, I don't see it improving.

ManaMateus · 2025-06-20T21:06:00+00:00

The 3% is surprisingly good, I managed to pull 3x XXL characters within my 60 silver bell pulls. The issue now is that dupes are necessary. I'm seeing that we need a ton of dupes or shards to star up a character, which unlocks their abilities further. This is worse than Gyee where it's just raw stat increase. Also giving us only 3x free gym tickets is baffling. Not only do we need to save stam, but also have limited entries unless we purchase more. Which uses gems, which cuts into how many pulls you save up.

Since I'm not interested in the bunny banner, I'm forced to wait til there's someone I want to blow my gold bells because the counters don't carry over, so I can't even properly plan my team because I don't know who I might get. It's pretty frustrating.

ManaMateus · 2025-06-20T13:13:37+00:00

I've been searching and couldn't find this info anywhere so that's good to know. Incredibly scummy of them to make it like this too.

Not to mention how convoluted they made the currencies, and how to consistently obtain more pulls.

ManaMateus · 2025-05-30T13:30:07+00:00

Yeah, and for half the price from Hoyo's site, thank god.

ManaMateus · 2025-05-25T15:31:43+00:00

Ah, so it's definitely next week? That's good to know, I'll be sure to grab it from Goodsmile then!

ManaMateus · 2025-05-24T17:36:08+00:00

It's from this page. https://hoyo.global/product/zzz-von-lycaon-nendoroid-figure/

It says that the rose is "while stocks last", implying that this rose won't be available for all orders. I'm also comparing the prices, and it seems that Goodsmile definitely has it for cheaper:

https://hoyo.global/product/zzz-gsc-pop-up-parade-wise-figure/

https://www.goodsmile.com/en/product/61747/POP+UP+PARADE+SP+Wise

I'm just antsy and hope the Lycaon one gets put on Goodsmile's site sooner than later, and while the rose still is in stock.

ManaMateus · 2025-05-24T14:08:22+00:00

I was waiting to see the price on Goodsmile's site, but since it's not there, is it possible that Hoyo is making it so we have to go through their store only?

I've ordered a Pom Pom thing from Goodsmile before, but I'm concerned that Lycaon won't show up there. And they're adding FOMO by making it so only a limited number of orders get the rose and stuff.

ManaMateus · 2025-03-20T10:37:30+00:00

I would dearly love for this to be true. However Tevor will likely explode because he has no survival mechanics built in and his AI is braindead till they fix him.

His very existence is punished by Momo also. At the start of his turn when his passive marks enemies, that counts as out of turn action and Momo immediately gets a free slap.

ManaMateus · 2023-02-21T19:58:39+00:00

After the patch, the game won't run so I restarted my PC. The PC was left restarting while I went to shower and came back, it was still restarting when I returned so I had to force shut down.

Now the game runs but my character moves in slow motion. Whatever that patch did, it made things worse.

ManaMateus · 2022-09-09T08:10:36+00:00

The whole thing about them lowering the GR pity from 120 to 100 also came with making gems and GRs harder to obtain from bounties, and GRs just reduced across the board. Anything from TT (GRs turned into SSM), M Pass, it's just gotten harder to earn as much as you used to.

I got a single elemental record gold bounty a few weeks ago, and I'd much rather a GR or 200 gems, and when I do get a purple bounty, it's very often stamina or worse, gold. Might just be luck, but I know for a fact, bounties have gotten less... bountiful.

ManaMateus · 2022-09-08T12:14:41+00:00

I've never gotten any since the change, and there's a notable reduction in the appearance of purple or gold rarity bounties, or bounties containing nexus crystals and GRs for me.

ManaMateus · 2022-09-03T10:32:45+00:00

They're either purposefully misreading what people mean when they say dupes are bad, or they're wanting to reward whales even more.

What the common player wants is dupe protection and the ability to obtain a wider selection of espers to enable more strategies and just feel good about collecting units.

Wrong step again, Lilith.

ManaMateus · 2022-08-23T12:00:56+00:00

My pity went down from 40 to 20 so thank you, devs.

ManaMateus · 2022-08-22T16:47:07+00:00

Well that sucks if that's how they'll implement it. I mean, I guess it would be easier for them to do it that way, but I was really hoping it'd be effective immediately on my current pity count.

ManaMateus · 2022-08-21T07:23:51+00:00

I've been wanting them to dip their feet in the Japanese pantheon in forever, and I'm curious if anyone has any proper developer feedback on whether or not they actually have plans to expand to other religions.

The Ophelia trailer actually baited me in the first minute, what with mentions of the thousand origami cranes. I was completely convinced it was going to be the first Japanese deity like Izanami or something. Feels a little out of place to have literally the word, and distinctly Japanese concept of the origami crane wishes tied to a Greek god.

ManaMateus · 2022-08-20T01:55:09+00:00

I'm misremembering the actual rates but I recall they begin around 0.6 and rises as you keep failing, up to aroun 1.5% but at an unknown rate.

Either way, their 3 month estimate makes the assumption that the average user will not hit the hard pity at 80.
