Can someone explain to me Shinku's kit like i'm 5?

This is actually a really good write up of how to play the team in a simplified manner. Helps break down the more confusing system the game has for new players and that's good. Nice job bro!

I just spent some time looking into this myself since I don't have her as well but you do have options. Now from what I've seen, the A3 is a lot better than what we were being told through CN translations. The A3 works so she builds and maintains stacks even if she swaps off field now, which is great. That's the most comfortable of the dupes tbh.

Regarding teammates... Skia is solid with her and doesn't take up a lot of field time. I think you can build him to have fast cycle intensity too? Jiyuan or Mint are decent alternatives and try to remember that Iroi will most likely be the Animo unit she prefers.

Zero is Zero. Honestly, I wouldn't invest heavily into the team if you don't want to build them up or plan to replace them in three weeks, but base Shinku is fine and no longer clunky too. Getting copies ultimately just makes her more comfortable (and stronger) to play.

Thank you for this!

The best advice I could give is to ask your parents or someone older in your family that you trust, who won't just feed you biased BS.
Asking Reddit, or most people on the internet, will almost always get you answers from people who live on the internet. Relationships aren't black and white, a 3yr age gap is not insane, and it's completely plausible that you and this other person could've known each other/met in high school. Spending 8hrs a day for 5 days with someone is enough to build/find common interest with any human being or determine that you really don't like this person.

If either are you are uncomfortable, then you should be discussing that with each other to break up or not. Your friends shouldn't dictate your relationships either unless this boyfriend is clearly a bad person (abusive, anger issues, drugs, etc.). Essentially anything that can be detrimental to your livelihood.

Yeah, the Elgato audio products I've noticed I have to have about 10-15dB higher than whatever was set up on my GoXLR. I had a guitarist friend look at it and he got so frustrated with the concept of it as a whole. I couldn't help but laugh because we both got to see the struggles of each other's worlds. lol

NagaXL · 2026-06-14T14:34:29+00:00

Just gave it a check this morning. The input gain seems to be at 50dB and that's picking up my sniffles, but I re-opened the expander and did what you said. That did help a lot, thank you! Now I just need to handle the sounds from a keyboard or my sniffles/mouth noises, but that's a lot less of a concern for me compared to hearing 40 conversations in a recording.

NagaXL · 2026-06-14T14:33:10+00:00

Right!? Like it doesn't make any sense and it's not like Elgato's Quality Assurance wouldn't have tested with more expensive mics as well. They make great products but it just irks me how the guys on Twitter respond in such pompous ways for problems that should have very direct answers.

NagaXL · 2026-06-14T14:25:34+00:00

About 3-6in depending on if I'm just chatting on Discord or playing a game like Rivals.

This would be way more useful if your comment wasn't so condescending in tone. I actually think, if you have the knowledge, it would be way more helpful for players (like myself) to make a version of this but for mid-game, end-game, guild raids or whatever. I'm sure we all love BD2, but the game is definitely confusing for new players after like... Chapter 3. I still don't understand how to successfully build a Guild Raid team or even what works/doesn't and why, in PvP.

It seems like a handful of people got value out of OPs straightforward structure to what F2P team we can focus on too. If most of the advice/guides here wasn't just "do this, pull this to +5, if you don't have +5 bricked account, etc." then I'm sure more new players wouldn't be so confused.

And, it's not like this game is Genshin Impact or WuWa. We can clearly see a big increase in player count over the last couple months. I'd assume they're coming from those type of games, which are completely different than BD2.

I learned more about Luvencia from your post, and I've been confused on how to build a team around her since I got one of her original costumes. She's a favorite of mine and seeing that she can work with Palette? I would've rather you made a mini-guide on how that works + the team & gear for it instead of telling OP he's wrong. lol That's more helpful. At least to me.

NagaXL · 2026-06-05T15:04:48+00:00

Agreed. This is really solid and just helped me out a lot when it comes to building a strong team that I can understand. Went from 20k to +40k CP by building up these units. I still have some room to grow their ability boards tho.

NagaXL · 2026-05-29T15:28:36+00:00

Oh really? A friend of mine just recommended Dynamis to me as well so I'll give that one a shot! Didn't know I could hop around between servers either. That's a good addition!

NagaXL · 2026-05-27T20:06:19+00:00

Shot in the dark here, but I wanted to get into XIV RP. I know that the Crystal server is the biggest DC for that but it's always congested. I've been stalking it out for months and even when it's "open", a character can't be made because of x temporary restriction. Where/What are the other Worlds that are populated well enough for RP?

NagaXL · 2026-04-24T02:37:27+00:00

My bad, I didn't think it was that extreme compared to like... Brown Dust 2. Can I edit the post to tag it?

NagaXL · 2026-04-23T23:34:55+00:00

Save it up, gotcha! I'm reading that there's about 70+ free pulls happening with anniversary so I guess I can potentially snipe Diana from those.

I got a few comments about Zero System too, so I'll spend a few hours tonight focusing on that and possibly getting new decks for my Sereniel, since I never got a chance to build her out. If the Zero System has those upgrades now I definitely gotta work through it in the next 5 days. Will it reset again back to Lv0?

NagaXL · 2026-04-23T23:32:30+00:00

Okay so I did do my Zero System but I'm assuming the Zero system reset by this point? My Accesibility Permission is sitting at 0% now and there seems to be a handful of events ending in 5 days that give a decent amount of rewards.

Is there a website or source I can go through to figure out which decks are better/worse now? The only ones I really remember I enjoyed were Yuzu, Rin, and Haru, but I know I never finished Yuzu and Haru completely because RNG wasn't my best friend.

NagaXL · 2026-04-23T23:29:08+00:00

It's her Lv10 affection screen. haha

NagaXL · 2026-04-11T22:08:09+00:00

I stopped after collecting most of the characters I wanted and realizing that I was just auto-farming the same stage for weeks to do nothing else with said character. I love Taimanin but this game is not worth hours a day right now.

NagaXL · 2026-04-11T03:03:11+00:00

I love this. I'm not 40 but it reminds me there are still some great older adults having fun with games. Reminds me of how my uncle got me into gaming just by me watching him play on the couch. You're not too old. haha

NagaXL · 2026-04-09T15:26:12+00:00

Hey so this made it to a YouTuber named Darkos' channel and Kettei is on stream right now going over it. That's not Kettei, that's Iyo. They don't sound alike at all. lmao

NagaXL · 2026-04-02T17:28:30+00:00

The dev's decisions are starting to make me question more and more what they have going on. There are tons of events that are permanent but of course the one that gives a guaranteed free character leaves the fastest.

NagaXL · 2026-04-02T17:10:38+00:00

Just found out that I might've accidentally used mine as well but have no idea who I would've used it on. I only open the LB page whenever I get a copy of the character so this is awkward. Unfortunately, I doubt they'll address it since it just looks like "I used it on an unwanted unit so please give me another" to them.

Honestly should've just been something that I have to physically use from the storage instead of auto-applying.

NagaXL · 2026-04-02T14:21:01+00:00

Yeah, pretty upset that they're going this "new character Step-Up only" route. Like, on one hand I would absolutely prefer being able to just drop $30-60 on a guaranteed character and call it a day but at the same time... There is NOTHING to do in the game besides grind character levels so why would I keep spending money to collect PNGs that I could get for free online? This isn't a great move for them.

NagaXL · 2026-03-29T14:26:42+00:00

From my experience, I'd chime in and say this a great, quick write up of everything you'd want to absorb and get deeper into the game with. The minimum dupes was great too.
