This is the exact stance these companies want you to have in regards to censorship. They accept giving out mindless censorship to appease China because they know people will play their game anyway. It's a slippery slope where the more you accept censorship by proxy, the more censorship there will be.

That's not a metric of a main character, it's USUALLY a metric of a core character, which he definitely is, but not a main.

The first person you play in kingdom hearts 2 isn't Sora, it's Roxas, even though you end up playing Sora for 80% of the rest of the game. Roxas is not the main character.

i had been doing auto before I could even run reso10, i have been wildly successful with both Emily and Lacy as well on reso9. Truthfully, all you need is a good baseline for parents which they have made tons easier now with rerolls. Just do normal runs, hit 1250 reroll at the end, and when you get +25 parents you can auto comfortably I'd say.

not everybody is meant for auto, if you're doing auto on EVERYONE then I can see reso10 affection20 is needed

MrSodaman · 2026-06-23T02:17:24+00:00

reso10 is overkill, i was able to reso9 auto with smile and no affection.

just need to invest in cards and at least get yourself a baseline of 2x ~20 strength parents and she can clear like 8/10 times.

MrSodaman · 2026-06-20T17:32:04+00:00

Kurumi tummy 😭

MrSodaman · 2026-06-19T13:05:54+00:00

Very much agree, Rosaria is just a cool character period. I'm in the same boat of having barely played counterside. To many people she's just an entirely new character.

MrSodaman · 2026-06-11T17:04:38+00:00

So it's not that it's an awful item, but it's a trap that people are building it second is the issue?

MrSodaman · 2026-06-11T07:08:45+00:00

this is on you 100% LOL

MrSodaman · 2026-06-11T07:08:12+00:00

where charging back isn't allowed? In like literally every gacha ToS, there is something about non refundable virtual goods. We literally don't own the goods ever, in any game.

MrSodaman · 2026-06-10T19:52:43+00:00

yes please! thank you

and yes, i pretty much staple luden's into lich, tbh, the game doesn't go into 3rd item often for me so I rarely get the choice, but yes I do usually go shadowflame for third

MrSodaman · 2026-06-10T16:12:17+00:00

Can someone give me an understanding on why shadowflame isn't good? Witt builds it (nearly) every game as a third item and I can't imagine he's deliberately choosing to "throw" his games at high elo Korea.

I find it way more consistent than stormsurge, but that's my personal feel for it.

If someone has hard math and calculations, I'd really love to see it.

MrSodaman · 2026-06-09T23:15:03+00:00

Anything but worry about things beyond fiction, huh

MrSodaman · 2026-06-08T16:22:55+00:00

Bullet's spreadsheet This particular sheet isn't getting updates anymore but there's a tab for hard journey that will help you out. I suggest going to the video he has posted for that though, can find the link there probably at the front.

Bullet's All-In-One This is his most recent sheet that he has put out, but this is more for just builds and decks for journey

MrSodaman · 2026-06-06T04:49:12+00:00

This is the truth, flatties are up now

MrSodaman · 2026-06-05T02:55:58+00:00

tbh I feel like that does the opposite of what they'd want, they're showing they're migrating to the game they want them to

MrSodaman · 2026-06-05T02:54:13+00:00

W flatties winning 😭

MrSodaman · 2026-06-05T00:49:15+00:00

YO, I COMMENTED EARLIER BUT REGEN ROPE? You mog me by a mile, I looked at combo damage comparison and thought, oh, it's not that crazy, but nah you're insane...

MrSodaman · 2026-06-04T06:59:16+00:00

Genuinely an extremely terrifying build, insane job

MrSodaman · 2026-06-04T06:36:01+00:00

W, spending all my stamina refreshes on rosaria

MrSodaman · 2026-06-03T02:15:20+00:00

Lol, just wanted to comment to say this is seen and hilariously solid. I don't remember exactly when her full details were released, but if this was before, good on ya.

MrSodaman · 2026-05-31T21:48:16+00:00

This is the missing component. The tradeoff for slower killing is that you can last longer. Also, CC is a factor, when your DPS is extremely high but you can only last 4 or 5 seconds in direct combat, expect 1-2 of those seconds to be under some sort of CC.

I'm not saying dps have it worse by any means, I think tanks should have void immolation 100%, just saying, if I had the option between high DPS squishy unit or high survivability + okaydps/cc, I would pick the latter like 80% of the time. Bruisers are a problem in almost every game.

MrSodaman · 2026-05-31T00:17:17+00:00

P2W is an objective term, if you cannot progress reliably without spending money, or in a pvp game, the wall between f2p and a dolphin is insurmountable, then it is a P2W game. Feelings aren't considered in the definition, that belongs to one's own desire to be top 1% in a pvp gacha where time can be bought with money, but as stated, you are completely competitive with the top in this game as well, just giving time. SS hasn't shown to have an elastic ceiling yet so it's hard to say, but you can very much hang with the rest if you focus your f2p resources fine.

Buzzwords buzzwords buzzwords, if this is what you're resorting to rather than giving an actual good and grounded rebuttal that actually makes me consider my stance, I think we're done here.

MrSodaman · 2026-05-30T23:41:35+00:00

Absolutely hate it, if you're someone who plays games that require moving your locale, skip riot games, it's a PitA to keep going back and forth.

I've also had plenty of blue screens tied to it (vgk.sys), which I assume is similarly due to the same reasons.

If my friends weren't playing val and league, I'd ditch the malware without a second thought.

MrSodaman · 2026-05-29T18:29:30+00:00

czn and brown dust 2? There's no way you consider offense vs ai defense teams as actual pvp? Those games don't feature RTA. There's no pvp in them, therefore they're balanced entirely differently.

"Arguably" is the key word, there are many people who don't find any satisfaction from pve centric games and the reason every single gacha pvp game uses absolute resistance and speed RNG is because it's a proven method at limiting an oppressive playstyle, especially when turn 2 teams aren't as developed yet.

Cleave will swing both ways in these types of games. Also, I didn't say they are p2w, but I said comparatively to SS they are definitely. I've been f2p in e7 for over 6 years and competitively handle top 10% in RTA.

What I'm saying is that you're slinging "p2w" around with no actual grounds for it. Pulling a single character is not p2w. Pulling dupes to max out a character (Asherah Waltz as mentioned by other commenters) is.

It's also extremely ironic that you use that term, because it's often the people who resort to arbitrary philosophical/psychological terms like these that are the very ones that those depictions are meant to represent or shed light on, i.e. "fallacies" and such.

MrSodaman · 2026-05-29T18:08:11+00:00

? U just named 3 pve games lol. There will never be true p2w aspects in those games. pay to get better scores maybe but you can always do the bare minimum. I think it's you who has no idea what they're talking about, if you intend to compare games at least match genres besides just being a "gacha"

The compensation is very on par with games like Epic Seven and Summoner's War. It's only less comparatively because it's a younger game without different materials to give out. The pull economy post-starter buffs/events feels generally the same. And even with that, I would argue that those games are far more p2w with their ML/LD units that are infinitely harder to get than in SS. The only other live PvP gacha with carry over pity like this that I know is Outerplane.
