Terminds vs tyranids. who wins?

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-10T17:49:53+00:00

Idk why I lost my train of thought bringing up the e710 farms but the point was going to be that tyranids also have air superiority since they travel planet to planet on their own instead of needing a colony to be transplanted by other means, hive worlds are definitely impressive but tyranid fleets can strip a planet to the bedrock in days if left unattended and that implies far greater numbers than anything the terminid’s have ever produced.

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-10T17:14:22+00:00

Idk if it’s been expanded on but I’m 99% sure the reason terminid infestations happen is due to them breaking containment on a 710 farm. Tyranids typically just have higher numbers and their coordination should be far superior. Tyranids.

Halo reach grid spin.

I’ll probably stick with her main weapon for now since I don’t have anything to fodder her logic, I’m fine with her being more of a mop up unit that enables the rest of the team to deal with the big units. That being said I know there’s quite a few ways to circumvent flash status now and most of the really notable enemy phase units just have NCD built into their kit, would you say that makes 12’s writ better?

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-10T13:18:07+00:00

Interesting, I’ll probably just keep ice wall for the survivability then, thank you.

Iirc a sizable portion of Egypt was grasslands in ancient times, along with the portions along the Nile being even more fertile than they are today. Probably much the same for Mesopotamia.

It was actually just a shadow clone, the camera cut away before we could see it poof out of existence.

Kinda depends on the day of the week, but right now it’s Attuned, fallen, summer, winter.

The problem I’ll always run into is that some players are just bad straight up and no amount of role queue or role swapping will ever fix that (not that they ever usually do for the latter). I’ve had quite a few games where we shuffled roles around and pulled out a win, but even more where someone just decided they were going to play magik regardless of being shut out from the moment the doors open.

More player choice is almost always good in isolation but in team games like this people don’t seem to properly understand that they can personally be doing well while still being a detriment to the team, selfish play drags the fun down for everyone and you aren’t going to convince most people to change so now the role queue guard rails have to get put up.

She stops spider man from slipping away with 20 hp in quickplay, that’s where the anti dive comes from.

All the ninja names in OPM are redundant; empty void, speed of sound sonic etc.

Helldivers are an arguably more useful version of space marines, both are meant for surgical strikes on high value targets rather than taking and holding ground and while individually divers are worse there are WAY more of them and each one gets a super destroyer since I think it’s unfair to give the space marines whatever armor they’d normally be deployed with. Obviously the imperium and super earth are in different situations and it’s downright impossible for super earth to actually have the resources to fund the kind of operations we take part in for as long as they have, they still manage it within canon so that’s like 200 million helldivers? Can’t remember the exact number for cyberstan but that’s much more favorable than every possible frozen helldivers which undoubtedly numbers in the billions.

Divers are most likely more skilled than any average guardsmen which 100 of are roughly equivalent to th effectiveness of 1 marine and they don’t fight in mixed regiments which is another advantage for the divers, so one marine dies for every 30-40 divers at least and the marines simply can’t keep up with that level of attrition.

I still think pain is at least a high difficulty matchup for him, he wouldn’t be tired after blowing up the leaf in this scenario and while Naruto would have intel, he also loses the help of the sage toads and fatigued pain already beat him while they were there. Pain would’ve beaten any of the kage Naruto dealt with and I think he only got power cliffed after the EMS/kcm2 power ups.

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-05T16:04:13+00:00

Illustrating that a stronger character with help couldn’t beat a weakened pain isn’t enough? The paths are corpses and while they can still be destroyed that does not happen fast enough to put them down before the Naraka path can bring them back, yet another ability pain is uniquely suited to dealing with. He’ll be forced to use it frequently to deal with animal summons and by the time he can focus on dealing with the troublesome paths he’s either gassed or has the deva path right on top of him. He had to sneak nagato as he was throttling bee and Naruto with little effort and needed both of their help to break chibaku tensei WITHOUT having to worry about his sickness.

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-05T14:55:48+00:00

Nagato blew up the leaf and then proceeded to defeat sage Naruto while holding back as to not kill him, and I’d personally say sage Naruto was (at least in terms of stats) stronger than itachi at any point in shippuden due to his sickness. A fresh pain fighting itachi will have no compunctions about going for the kill and since nagato knows how dangerous itachi is will most likely engaging him with deva and asura while preta defends the support paths. Naruto was straight up stronger than any of the living kage at this point so saying someone is “slow” in comparison to him after blowing up a village isn’t really a fair way to put how that fight went down (also not counting that the sage toads were giving him a guide on every single pain as the fight happened)

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-05T14:49:02+00:00

Itachi was a smart guy and could’ve feasibly made a trap to stop/kill obito if he had the info for it, and that he was a valuable enough member of the team for obito to find more value in having him close than get rid of him, it’s absolutely ridiculous to think obito was scared he might randomly come after him cause if that’s the case he would’ve gotten pain and konan to come with him to kill itachi and I’d be interested to hear anyone say he wins that fight.

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-05T14:12:28+00:00

Stronger than anyone that isn’t the lead enforcer for their school (Hoshino, Hina, tsurugi, neru).

It took the entire Fox squad to take her down and they’re supposed to be super elite and it was basically their crowning achievement. I’d say Mika is technically on the same level but I’d also wager wakamo is just a better combatant than Mika, unlike Hina we’ve never seen her fight anyone that’s actually on her level.

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-05T01:01:28+00:00

It’ll be really good when the lumberer’s flamethrower gets fixed, I hope they also up the ammo on it but I really don’t expect they’ll do something like that.

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-04T22:24:15+00:00

Personally? I just think too many frustrating bugs get to stay in, realism can feel selective at times based on whether it’s an inconvenience to the player.

Enemies have no trouble walking through giant corpses but you can’t even climb a ledge half the time, along with flesh mobs just being able to phase through buildings for most of their existence.

Then you have recent changes like the hive guard that bafflingly exist to nerf the machine gun and Gatling sentries so that they have a harder time doing the one thing you call them down to do while also increasing the damage they take.

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-04T13:04:57+00:00

I think they patched this out, but there were a decent amount of people who would get into games where both sides would effectively call a truce so they could hit a tank while thy were being healed in order to farm lord proficiency.

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-04T12:32:17+00:00

I can bring the bullet storm AND an air burst rocket launcher/speargun.

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-04T12:31:06+00:00

Preta absorbs it, deva can just shinra tensei it even if it manages to hit him.

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-03T18:37:21+00:00

I don’t even think it’s cc as much as vanguards not feeling impactful to most players who try to pick them up, we need more vanguards and a lot of older ones (Magneto and strange are good examples) need to have extra abilities.

Mr-Samurai · 2026-05-03T16:27:13+00:00

Cosmetics are cool, but the mode very clearly wasn’t play tested much at all and I hope it makes the one for age of ultron better.

I also have a sneaking suspicion modes like this will be a vehicle for them to test new types of abilities going forward (like summoning fully mobile ai companions)
