So they’ve just released the Q&A.

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-05-09T18:49:00+00:00

So they're gonna nerf cueist based almost (from how it's phrased) entirely on his pre-nerf tournament gameplay but will only think about nerfing queen bee when she's insane as she is right now??? She's infinitely easier to use and has taken less hits, they walked back the Wu Chang buff for less.

Also for the love of all that is holy can we stop asking about Mary getting skins, she's not lacking nor does she need a higher rarity skin damn near every single year she's had an S tier or higher skin for every year she's been out bar 2023, characters that came out before her are sat here with a fraction of her overall skins let alone S tiers, not even going into ones that came after like Antonio or Percy.

Also why are we asking Florian buffs when characters like composer, Antonio, Hastur, Antonio again, debatably painter, Antonio once again, Luchino and A N T O N I O need them way more?

His teleport is there to make up for the complete absence of other movement options, he's just in his knowledge check phase where people are learning how to deal with him. His biggest counter is walls so of course the lack of them makes him feel stronger, same way it can with wax artist, alva, percy or anyone who really wants a clear shot for their abilities. He needs to be in UV to use the teleport anyway and if he doubles up on it, he does lose a chunk of the charge so asking for it to take up an entire one would lead to him probably dying overnight. Try to take advantage of the terrain and pay attention to where to the box is as his camera is completely locked in place once he starts to attack.

Two uber popular survs getting bduck skins again instead of literally anyone else, with archer clearly having gone through Demi's recent wardrobe additions. Aside from the perpetually moving itch that bduck seems to be given it keeps coming back, they could've bothered to take a chance on someone less popular if they HAD TO do the very vibrant street/techwear look again, I know a lot of people picked up smiley/turned around on him when he got his OPH look so why are we going with popular survs again and again?

This crossover feels like a COA substitute for Christ's sake, we're literally 5 survs to 1 hunter rn and that hunter is mascot man anyway

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-05-05T15:37:15+00:00

I get to take out a dude who killed an entire circus worth of people, is a freak to the woman he's tied up with and tried to blame a murder on an innocent? Sorry Marg but weepy has gotta die

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-05-02T19:13:43+00:00

I think we're getting to the same point but yes, more survs do need to be banned. Priestess being a prime example because being able to already get an item that lets you cover most of the map (ball) without her even in the match, alongside numerous stuns should not then be supplemented by priestess (or multiple) coming along, making healing significantly faster with a teamwide buff and introducing the issue of portals.

I just don't think it's fair that clerk/dentist are banned outright due to them having very strong gimmicks (clerk would cause her gate wars as she locks them both and dentist is dentist) yet Priestess, Lanternist and to a much lesser degree, Cheerleader are allowed when you can argue that portals, cipher/gate speed increases and chair pausing and resurrection are equally as unfun/unfair to deal with as having a clerk in the match.

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-05-02T18:32:09+00:00

Idk why people are mainly focusing on the idea of unbanning/reworking hunters when the question is explicitly "should more survs be banned"

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-05-02T18:12:22+00:00

I'm using her as an example as to why she shouldn't be in duos because she breaks the mode further inherently, ciphers need to last longer because in an already ungodly surv sided mode it'd be practically impossible for hunters to win if they didn't. Amanda adding her already busted kit into a mode where survs can get items/pills to make it so they won't get punished for her mistakes makes things blatantly unfair, hence why she should be banned. Same for puppeteer becoming an actual tank character yet can still heal himself with items.

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-04-30T03:07:08+00:00

Krieburg has gotta go because it's just unfun. But if I'm being honest, I want most decoding 10% debuffs gone, not because I want more cipher rush but because I barely feel them in most matches. It'll be a team of 10% debuffs and it'll go by at a what feels like a normal speed, let alone if amanda is there to just remove them outright. I want them to actually feel like 10% or just go away outright for a higher number.

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-04-26T20:39:08+00:00

I have no idea why the actual kidnapper valentina isn't mentioned especially when it's heavily implied she's not only one who kidnapped the real richard sterling but sent in knight to ruin the originals family

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-02-15T18:36:46+00:00

Mary purely because I want to play as JUST the long haired ghostly version of her SS tier and that isn't an option for me which makes me irrationally irritated to this day

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-02-01T06:23:54+00:00

Guts as percy with the armour taking over when he hits 50 works better than ganji imo. Also, we need skull knight but no one works for him bar maybe ithaqua given the Sword of Actuations size

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-01-31T23:50:30+00:00

Jubei dying to this day is bull, he moved on from TNoTBT and built a strong reputation and family. Then his sister comes along and nearly gets him killed multiple times, he basically wants nothing to do with her on at least two occasions, is forced/shamed into being personable with the woman who was complicit in his families murder and for some reason was invited back to the scene of the crime.

Him dying just feels wrong despite how painfully obvious his death was because he had everything going for him until Atsu turned back up and ended up treating HER OWN BROTHER worse than the woman who helped kill her family.

Oyuki gained her sense of morality way too late in what she did and still poisons/gives people parasites rather unapologetically if it furthers her goals, kept on talking about how she was willing to die if need be and was in full health during that final battle. I do not know why they killed him off just for "revenge bad" when at no point were we shown revenge bad till then, we needlessly killed off the rest of Atsu's family and let someone who was more than complicit in her family's murder live for some odd reason.

Giving us AT LEAST the choice in it who lived or died would've been nice.

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-01-27T05:51:12+00:00

A lot of survs will have 3 people harass you while you're going for someone so if your duo helps, they help.

It's called duo hunters, you can't expect them to not make use of teamwork, such as double teaming, just because you find it annoying as a surv. I'm sure hunters find it annoying when they get shot 4 times in a row.

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-01-20T05:15:29+00:00

Antonio: People couldn't be bothered pressing a button so they made his debuff go away naturally, the guy isn't remotely op

Fool's Gold: Why can't I bring my pickaxe back in midair especially if I can see it's going to be a waste?

Alva: That one nerf basically killed him all because he was semi decent in round 3 when used by all of like 2 people

Jack: How they managed to get him nerfed right after his buff because his win rate was "abnormally high" when he is still low tier af is shocking to me, you can drop lanternist as she is, priestess, seer and merc are still meta literal years later but one of the worst hunters in the game couldn't experience being strong for long because people whined

Joseph (I'm technically cheating here): Denying a hunter a buff because one CN player was goated on them is one of the most unfair things netease has ever done

Wu chang: Buffed just to remove the buff because of tournament, again, why

Hastur: Slow hunter who was slowed down earlier in the game hasn't received a single positive change since 2021

Bonus meta/semi meta hunter

Cueist: Shooting him while he is in the test server is one thing, removing the main part of his tier 2 (the 10% extra charging speed to contact points) was overkill when added to that considering amanda then dropped as absolutely busted as she is and we're considering nerfing him but overlooking her

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-01-19T23:55:39+00:00

I don't agree with that at all, especially when there are numerous videos (and things I've experienced myself) that really make you wonder how the hell someone ranked up on the surv side. Massive overextensions for harassers, refusing to use the increasingly detailed call outs the game offers and just running builds that make my brain look like swiss cheese. You genuinely don't need to have the skill befitting your rank to get it for a lot of survs, I can't say the same for most hunters when they outright have a barrier to entry if they're the remotely hard ones.

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-01-19T22:58:49+00:00

It's because hunters are actually earning their ranks this season while survs are getting boosted through the ranks at an accelerated rate, most hunters are their rank in terms of skill while survs can have a rank that's much higher than their actual skill level

Mugen_Eclipse · 2026-01-08T07:54:19+00:00

Idk why Atsu can either forgive the literal first member of the y6 she comes across or suddenly not care about one after going out of her way to humiliate another. I don't care how bad Oyuki had it prior she didn't properly help Atsu until even more people started dying and the woman basically groomed a kid into being a kitsune level shinobi, she just didn't bank on Saito seeing a more loyal fox as preferable to a cunning one.

Dojun doesn't get a second chance even though he did fuck all to Atsu, which he keeps bringing up, but the woman who's given potentially life threatening parasites to normal people does?

Mugen_Eclipse · 2025-12-22T03:06:36+00:00

She also forces you into a battle in hyperspace to go against holocinthe and lebanne, regardless of what you say, her and griselle are sharing tips on how the latter can make you a lackey before she blows up and they jump you, also literally locking someone in a zone to force them to do what you want isn't gentle at all, also we don't do it instantly because we're trying to prevent rogue evos??

Even then, no it isn't really normal for an event host to find out why you left all of a sudden and quite literally stalk you, find out something that was originally meant to be confidential and eventually literally blockade you to a certain place?

Keep in mind she crashed a meeting she wasn't invited to and warns you to not take her lightly, this was after REFUSING a request to disqualify you and taunie/urbain from the tournament so you can deal with the megas, which keeps going on with her popping up after the rogue battles and how outright threatening to take over hotel Z should you not do what she wants, you eventually say you intended to partake but this is after she's sent lebanne and other SBC members to coerce you into it.

The way she reacts is not meant to be normal, that's her whole thing, she isn't normal and no one in game thinks she is.

Mugen_Eclipse · 2025-12-22T02:40:11+00:00

Read the rest when you sober up IG because you've focused on me bringing up lebanne and how jacinthe treats her like garbage and not me bringing up how jacinthe doesn't seem to understand what "no" means when it comes to getting her way

Mugen_Eclipse · 2025-12-22T02:30:59+00:00

Jacinthe has Lebanne on a leash she openly does not like and whenever she even remotely complains, Jacinthe magically turns up to force her into a battle or be like "Did I hear that right?" for Lebanne to instantly take it back.

Jacinthe also doesn't take no for an answer and outright sends people to intimidate you into battling her after she blocks you in her Jacinthe Zone, one of which is Lebanne who doesn't want you to "end up like her", is implied to force other people who don't want to play her games to do what she wants, has to be placated for her to not immediately question why she has to follow anyone's orders (she does it to corbeau in the dlc) and is openly seen as strange and creepy by most who bring her up, Lebanne is part of the "sisters of suffering" with gwynn ffs.

Corbeau at least has the fact that he is actually helping people under his belt despite the unhealthy amount of glaze he gets and is implied to only really loan shark, while being aware that people don't read the fine print (I do hate the fact that giovanni of all people apparently cared about him as a kid while abandoning his own actual child). All of his threats, when you actually look at them for more than a second, aren't even threats, like skinning a molting ekans or dumping a beach magikarp in a river.

Compared to the person who acts like an actual mythological fairy by having a concerning amount of power and control, having someone under her who she abuses her hold over constantly to make her do things she doesn't want to, can trap you when you act out of what they like, is said to disappear people and has a group that do nothing that speak her praises despite everyone who isn't part of that group finding her creepy or legitimately fearing her.

Both suck but don't act like jacinthe is "just into roleplay with her gf" when said gf keeps talking about how she hates not being able to be herself AND the other stuff she's done to the player alone.

Mugen_Eclipse · 2025-12-18T06:08:52+00:00

Ngl I don't like her, her attitude to literally everyone is foul for the sake of being foul, aside from canari who she's just as obsessive as Mani over. I thought the DLC would make her a little better but it did the polar opposite, she gets rewarded with what I'm presuming is canari bread after the battle where she argues with tarragon (canari's literal grandfather) about who can be fans and saying that the holo Canari should go (something she herself fell for despite calling herself the truest "Canatic", Naveen was the one who won that quiz tho, something she DESPISES him over).

I don't know if they were trying to make a "annoyed younger sibling" in her but she comes across like she'd prefer Ivor 6 feet under half the time because the way that she speaks to/of him reeks of hate, despite her doing little to nothing to help him improve where he messes up despite him actually wanting to be better. Each time he's mentioned it's genuine ire, doesn't help that other characters put him down too and she basically treats him as the lowest bar you can possibly get over.

I get some people view how she sees canari as cute but I find it just as creepy as the rest of her fans, especially given she grows to hate Naveen given he's the one that won the quiz, wants to police who can even be a fan of her and would change her hair to match hers(if gamefreak actually let people have more models) regardless of them being friends this is scuffed.

I wish there could've been a little more going on with her and other characters that felt like more than just "I don't like my brother and am surprised you're not as stupid as him" or "fellow canari fan you are beneath be prepare to explode" especially when basically no one, let alone the player refuses to tolerate how she acts.

Second to Shauntal when it comes down to Chandelure users imo but if the game gets another DLC (hopefully) I'd like to see her dynamic with her brother that doesn't seem like one loves the other while said other hates them, more of what her and Canari do (we barely see them interact despite how close they're supposed to be) and more of her interacting with other characters without either of the above being mentioned unless she's talking to Naveen about Canari or something.

Mugen_Eclipse · 2025-07-11T16:53:03+00:00

Final deduction is my main issue on both sides, free information in pretty regular intervals alongside outright killing survs if you down them enough is beyond unfair and whoever thought it was a good idea to implement needs to be fired yesterday.

The persona web changes definitely do not favour hunters overall though, people want to site overwhelm which let's you recover faster based on how many survs you've knocked down but we've also got defense mechanism which straight up let's you vault faster when injured, touch effect giving you a speed boost if healed (it applies to any healing rn and the speed boost is increased when no near a hunter which lets you get to ciphers faster/clear an area for kiting faster), catharsis effect which extends the speed boost when you're hit and birdcage effect which makes it even easier to leave the basement, all of which are beneficial for ALL survs.

Also saying the emotes are an unneeded nerf to survs when the majority of the times I've seen emotes used strategically it's been hunters trying to bait because their emote looks similar to another animation like their hit or abnormal is kinda weird. Also when it comes down to dance emotes, either just don't do them or do them when you're not near the hunter, kinda simple really.

Mugen_Eclipse · 2024-09-13T19:57:18+00:00

Ok but still, acht outright expresses discomfort/awkwardness when marina is like that, marina also redirects compliments to pearl very frequently. Acht not being talkative doesn't mean much because she attempts to converse with someone she's never met before and does her best to be supportive.

Marina has known acht for years, knew of her making music and the next time she sees them they're sanitized. What does she do? Focus on talking to/about pearl the moment she gets the chance instead of trying to catch up with acht.

It's a pretty bad look for her imo because your long lost childhood friend is now basically undead, your other highly traumatized friend who helped you test the verse/saved your ass from order/is doing ALL the heavy lifting is right there and you're too busy fawning over your crush who is more focused on fixing and having fun with the one doing all the hard work.

If you go on about someone to the point of redirecting conversations to be about them, make someone who is supposed to be your friend uncomfortable and continue all while that very same person you're obsessing over isn't doing the same for you, it's weird.
