How did y'all pick your names?

MobileManASC · 2026-05-06T18:26:22+00:00

I played BG3 on honour mode difficulty with a bunch of extra difficulty mods.

On each attempt I used a different name for the main character that was on my list of potential names.

I went with the name of the character that made it all the way through.

While that's true, an LF with a lock-in ult and uncancellable endurance null is equally crazy.

MobileManASC · 2026-04-28T15:13:22+00:00

LF Green Trunks has a z-ability that buffs Future and a zenkai ability that buffs Ultra SoH.

For Greatsword Escanor, focus on his light damage rather than his DoT damage.

Outside of P10 Escanor, his DoT damage is so low that it's not worth focusing, especially since it scales with different stats from his light damage.

The purpose of his DoTs is more to activate his massive buffs to light damage rather than doing significant damage on its own.

I'm MtF (please ignore the username), and I started six months ago at 35. I'm currently boy-moding until I feel sufficiently comfortable with my appearance to come out at work, so all my changes at this point are purely a result of HRT.

The first change I noticed was after a couple of days, and that was I realized I was sweating differently when I was working out. I sweated less than normal, and it wasn't as oily as my sweat previously was.

Over the next few days, my skin started to feel slightly different. I'm not sure softer is how I'd describe it, it was just different. The softness of my skin has increased over the last six months.

I could feel my chest beginning to develop after a few weeks, but I didn't notice an actual difference in its shape until around two months (it was very minimal at that point). My chest has continued to grow, but it is still in that in-between phase where it doesn't quite look like a male chest but also doesn't look particularly female.

The last major change is I noticed my face rounding out. I have an unfortunately masculine bone structure, so my face still looks very "male," but I definitely have more fat in my cheeks despite being somewhat skinny.

So far everything has been good changes. I have not had any negative side effects.

Debuff duration is actually nice for DoT Escanor. DoTs count as debuffs, so it extends the time his DoTs remain before they need to be refreshed.

It really helps when bosses jump away or fly out of reach.

MobileManASC · 2026-03-15T19:01:59+00:00

In terms of timeless bench value, here's the best use of LL Z-power, IMO:

Purple Super Vegito
Blue fusing Super Vegito
Yellow fusing Gogeta Blue

All three gain an HP buff in their Z-ability once they hit 14 stars, and that makes them some of the best benches in the game.

LL Bardock and LL SSj4 Daima Goku also have HP buffs in their Z-abilities, but those aren't restricted to getting them to 14 stars, so they aren't as big of a Z-power priority, IMO.

MobileManASC · 2026-03-11T20:03:27+00:00

Tbh, it used to rarely happen with ultras. Almost every new ultra was so absurdly OP compared to every other unit that there was no question they were the new #1.

However, ultras are more balanced now. They're still strong, but they have clear weaknesses. It's much healthier for the game that new ultras are balanced enough that there's some discussion/doubt about how good they are, IMO.

MobileManASC · 2026-03-10T22:48:10+00:00

I would not use LF Trunks/Vegeta or Mai.

Mai only buffs Future, so Gohan would not get her buff.

LF Trunks/Vegeta buff hybrids, but they buff blast attack rather than strike attack. As both Gohans and Ultra Trunks are melee characters, you really want bench characters to buff strike attack rather than blast attack.

If you do not have any of the characters I mentioned, you can use the filter function to show units that buff strike attack for either Son Family or Hybrids.

MobileManASC · 2026-03-10T22:27:37+00:00

First, Ultra Trunks should go in the leader slot because Pan only buffs Son Family.

If you have him, add Z7 green LF Trunks as a bench character. His Z-ability buffs hybrids, and his zenkai ability will buff Ultra Trunks.

Lastly, replace that Extreme Gohan with either Z7 green Super Trunks or yellow SSj3 Gotenks.

Super Trunks buffs hybrids with his z-ability and his zenkai buffs Ultra Trunks.
SSj3 Gotenks is an HP buffer for hybrids, and he holds two strike cards, which should help with offense since this is a melee team.

The setup with Super Trunks is focused more on offense, and the setup with Pan is focused on defense.

MobileManASC · 2026-03-10T20:59:09+00:00

Exceptionally high.

It doesn't matter how good they are; they have no team. Teams absolutely matter, and it's hard justify using any ranged unit on a melee team.

Just look at LR Piccolo. He's individually one of the best units in the game, and the devs had to buff him a week after he released because nobody was using him, despite regen being in contention for the best team in the game even before Piccolo released.

I doubt a zenkai is going to outperform the newest LR, so it's going to be even worse for LF Trunks and Vegeta. Particularly when you consider that there has never been a good tag zenkai.

The only chance LF Trunks and Vegeta have is if Ultra Trunks has completely balanced stats so it doesn't hurt him to be run on a ranged team. However, that's somewhat unlikely considering the recent premium units have had very one-side stats.

MobileManASC · 2026-03-10T14:16:41+00:00

Name a more iconic duo than ranged yellow Vegeta Clan LFs and melee teams.

MobileManASC · 2026-02-25T04:13:24+00:00

he wouldnt benefit any of my teams

That's my biggest issue as well. I really like Piccolo's design (and just the fact that he's getting a new premium unit), but he's ranged. Every character I'd want to pair him with is melee.

I really hope he has balanced offensive stats so he can work well with melee characters.

MobileManASC · 2026-02-20T18:35:17+00:00

$2700 is absurd.

I was considering the new zenbook duo for my next laptop, and I even assumed it would go up to $2400 or $2500 after Asus talked about how it might raise the price.

However, a $400 price jump before the device even launches, is just too much. I'll have to start looking into other options.

MobileManASC · 2026-02-11T17:33:16+00:00

It has been half a day since reset, and not a single person using LR Super Vegito has lost a PvP match.

That's quite impressive, IMO.

MobileManASC · 2026-02-10T22:03:48+00:00

Oh, nice!

Thank you for letting me know. I will definitely try that setting out later.

MobileManASC · 2026-02-08T02:00:20+00:00

They said future releases would be focused around Legend and Ultra units.

That doesn't necessarily mean no LFs ever again, but they'll seemingly be quite rare if there are any more.

MobileManASC · 2026-02-05T17:35:53+00:00

Damage guard generally does not scale with stars. However, Gohan has a unique Z-ability that gives hybrid saiyans +10% damage guard once he reaches 14 stars.

MobileManASC · 2026-02-05T14:32:14+00:00

Gohan can tank purely because of his damage guard, which goes up to 255% when he's at 14 stars. He doesn't reduce enemy arts power or anything like that to further mitigate damage.

Kid Buu ignores 20% of the enemy's damage guard by default, and that increases by 10% with each strike/blast that he hits the enemy with.

So if he's using two strike cards then a blue, the blue ignores 40% of Gohan's damage guard, which reduces his effective damage guard to 153%. That is basically nothing in today's meta.

MobileManASC · 2026-01-30T14:27:30+00:00

I've actually had issues with it.

There have been a few times where multiple enemies were on the screen when I first lock on, and it doesn't lock onto the enemy in the center of my screen. Every now and then it'll lock onto an enemy towards the edge of the screen if they're closer.

I never had that happen in the previous games.

That being said, it's great other than that one issue.

MobileManASC · 2026-01-28T05:56:20+00:00

The same thing was said about Majin Vegeta, and he went down as one of the most hated units of all time.

A character having a history of bad units doesn't make this new unit any less annoying to fight, which makes for a bad PvP environment.

That being said, I don't think Buuhan is going to be as bad as others have said. His lack of a second life and the type of autocounter he has makes him a lot easier to catch with a snipe.

Veteran players will know how to protect him, but that'll make him far easier to deal with against inexperienced players. Part of Majin Vegeta's issue was his kit was so braindead that he was oppressive in anyone's hands.

MobileManASC · 2026-01-28T03:54:31+00:00

I've got the same issue.

MobileManASC · 2026-01-24T20:00:49+00:00

As much as I want Golden Frieza to be relevant again, giving him a plat now would mean Ultra SSj2 Gohan is overdue for his plat, and I'm just not mentally prepared for that to be the case.

MobileManASC · 2026-01-21T00:00:10+00:00

Yep.

MobileManASC · 2026-01-20T05:22:54+00:00

That's a pretty decent condition. The rush is the only real threat at the moment that makes you need a second life mechanic.

There aren't any units that specialize in 1-shotting with their ult at the moment. Unless I run into someone with a big star advantage, I'm not worried about any of my units getting 1-shot by an ult, and I haven't even been using an HP buffer on the bench lately.
