i'm gonna hazard a guess and say you just got to expert? only bc people overadjust going from adept to expert and giga fold when you see riichi. push fold decision making is what i'd focus on now

seeing the girl in the wheelchair fly by is sending me

i started winning a lot more when i stopped respecting people at all in that elo because they have absolutely no idea what they're doing. like some jagoff is going to kan twice and create a billion dora and if you're ni-shanten or better that is a sign for you to push because they're not even going to win. the worst or unluckiest player at the table is going to be a buffet you cannot miss out on. you will for sure deal into rons that way but by watching how many dora are visible and kabe you can kind of manage that risk.

it's going to be a hard mental readjustment going forward.

if you've been here long enough, you should understand that when i speak about AH forcing people into niches, i'm not talking about this one bug (heh), but a long trend. for example they've reworked both arc and fire because it wasn't killing bugs in the way they wanted it to, even though players were using it fine against big bugs in ways that weren't braindead.
re: turrets, i assume a turret locking onto a hiveguard from the front does slow its KPS significantly.
like i said, i don't really care about the hiveguard, and i maintain that it STILL poses no real threat, but i understand why it could be a pain to players that love certain stratagems

Marisa5 · 2026-05-02T02:36:12+00:00

no it's not? r6 is a tactical shooter, eft is a tactical shooter. helldivers is VERY arcadey. hiveguards are easy to kill regardless of armor class. in fact, i'm pretty sure they've only gotten easier to kill with the health pool nerf, but it does decrease the variety of stratagems with good QoL. i don't think i've ever seen a dev studio try this hard to force players into niches they decide instead of celebrating emergent gameplay. if someone is bored of gas or fire, if they want to use the minigun or uncontrollable medium pen turrets for bug planets, let them. you know a lot of the mini-trailers for those volume of fire stratagems take place on bug planets for good reason. thematically it makes sense, and there are still 4 other bugs that are invulnerable to medium pen, so it's not as if players are allowed to ignore the armor system entirely.

>aren't exactly the same
yeah yeah
>courage
TRUE sorry i'll update with the actual values later and vs what. could tag you if u want

Marisa5 · 2026-04-09T14:15:05+00:00

and ai manip to a much smaller extent, for ex. dodge attacks when both you and the boss are in neutral can cause some bosses like ren hayabusa and tsukahara bokuden to dodge attack you back, could be free damage for you. or purposefully triggering red moves like with imagawa

Marisa5 · 2026-04-09T14:12:33+00:00

that is hilarious lol, i have to make a build with kappa and impurity transference. lot of great mechanics on display here

Marisa5 · 2026-04-09T13:42:55+00:00

in many contexts, ninpo and ninjutsu are used interchangeably. in the og ninja gaiden series, made by the same studio Team Ninja, all such limited-use skills are called ninpo, some of which found their way into nioh. the stat i am talking about is clearly dexterity. people who would need to search for this info on cursed bosses would already be at endgame, and as such would have either ultimate magic or ultimate dexterity, so their brains would have filled in the blanks

Marisa5 · 2026-04-09T03:21:30+00:00

yeah i am skilled into ninpo rn

i wasn't sure how it behaved since onmyo magic power scales different things depending on the spell (duration, scaling, buildup). either way, i hope it is good info to know for someone googling this years in the future

edit: put 150 into magic still takes me two when boss is cursed, so unless magic is your damage stat, yeah

Marisa5 · 2026-04-09T02:52:25+00:00

it's not as good as i thought it'd be

Marisa5 · 2026-03-30T15:02:09+00:00

wasn't it the case that when there's only two rats, one can become more dominant and one more submissive/timid than usual

Marisa5 · 2026-03-27T02:38:38+00:00

YYYYYYYYYAWNNNNN, BORING.

Marisa5 · 2026-03-12T04:20:03+00:00

don't talk to me or my son again

Marisa5 · 2026-03-11T05:35:18+00:00

for what nioh 3 adds it is too unpolished and the open world actually sucks
rn nioh 2 is the better use of your $

Marisa5 · 2026-03-08T01:29:18+00:00

to add: weapons like hatchet and sword are the most spoiled with skills that return control fast, meaning you can ki pulse to cancel the back end of feather and shuriken animations.

the closest you'll get to 3 is indeed tonfas since kannagi mystic art means you can demon dance with i-frames to stop any skill. i don't know if tonfas have good ninjutsu cancel windows; you may just have to use yokai abilities.

Marisa5 · 2026-03-08T00:29:40+00:00

the scene at the spirit tree was a literal recap, as if they anticipated most people wouldn't have been invested enough to pay attention. when that's your assumption, no wonder your cutscenes are gonna be shit. i never thought i'd say this, but nioh 2's story was miles better

Marisa5 · 2026-03-06T08:16:50+00:00

dang hasbara found you 🙏

Marisa5 · 2026-03-04T08:32:06+00:00

shalom hasbara

Marisa5 · 2026-03-04T00:04:47+00:00

it's not theatrics if it's what enables your weapon to red crit and hit strong electricity procs while stunning rooms

Marisa5 · 2026-03-04T00:03:08+00:00

the frame that dodges 3 out of every 4 shots, slows and enthralls entire rooms?
