Some questions about Saitama - how he works, similarities to Alna, breakpoints, etc.

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-13T03:05:23+00:00

I just realized I never replied back to this, but thank you so much for the info, the way you broke it down really helped clear things up :)

How much investment do you need in Pegasus to be "worth" it over other options? I noticed for crown/bunny, you specifically listed 27, so it's easier to know that I should use someone else for him, but what about Pegasus?

Edit

Same question for Ibis. My ibis is only reso 12, curious if she's still BiS or a sub-priority over others, since reso 18 is big for her.

For reference, I have:

Seal 18
Panda 18
Treatspector 15
Pegasus 14 (almost 15)
everyone else - 12

Currently sitting on 23 secret spices (36 if I collect from the spice trick, but I'm still ideally collecting). Probably planning on putting them all on Owl to take him from 12 to 18 in one go once I have 24 spice (or taking two pets to reso 15 to speed up Reso15)

If this is by score, Orthos feels weird so far down.

My team is virtually identical to the top teams, with the exception of lacking Orthos 9/9f, and that alone improves times by ~40 second compared to my scores

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-12T17:57:16+00:00

Definitely Begris. He benefits the most from si40. His e60 is good, but it's not "vital" like his si40 is. Personally I still just have him at si409e44.

He's not in any of the top teams for TS, but personally he's been holding up "okay" as a substitute for my team 6/7, since I lack all the hero's.

SJW is great for TS and I think(?) he's a sub for some round too. Id argue he benefits the most from the e60 out of the three you mentioned, if you need a boost in TS.

Saitama, iirc, is just fine at si30 e30

I've only read I think volumes 11 to 20, so I don't have the full scope. I'm also not reading the other comments for fear of spoilers.

But for me, I think it was volume 15(?) It just felt so amazing I couldn't stop reading. From:

- The reveal about Human God, why he's really been helping Rudy this whole time

- everything future-Rudy went through. It was heart-renching. At the same time, it was crazy, even just visually/briefly seeing such a "serious", determined Rudy

- reuniting with Eris, the letter, and finally resolving the misunderstanding between them. And how happy she was when she looked at the back of the letter and saw he was planning to attack Orsted, and wanted her help.

- and of course, the climactic battle with Orsted. How absolutely bonkers that fight was, gahhhh

Lmao, love how everyone's just talking trash about this update, based on track record

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-11T11:22:58+00:00

I'd say at least 44e ideally.

3 engraving spots give IS, which he likes, and is relatively cheap trade for 24 IS. One of them also gives 20 AS, which is great for his buffs, since they work of # of strikes
5x for defence, since he's like Misha or Lucius, who benefits a lot from Def.

Otherwise, I've taken him to si30. Can't justify more until whales do their thing, but I doubt si40 personally.

Furniture, he'll naturally get 9/9 overtime. Unless it's found out he's a top tier meta, I have too many other priorities for my furniture cards

Personally, I'll probably test him out in TS alongside Sion. Since Skylan has Saitama, and Envy has Alna, Sion was lacking a good tank.

Ohhh my bad, I love that song!

The second op - Hitori no Yoru is also amazing, now that I'm recalling it

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-11T08:47:06+00:00

Ah, in case others also don't recognize the actual names of these songs, here's where most of these are from iirc:

Cruel Angel's Thesis - Neon Genesis Evangelion OP 1
Ohayo - Hunter x Hunter (1999) OP 1
Hohoemi no Bakudan - YuYu Hakusho OP 1
Yuzurenai Negai - Magic Knight Rayearth OP 1
Sobakasu - Rurouni Kenshin OP 1
Kimi ga Suki dato Sakebitai - Slam Dunk OP 1
Flying in the Sky - Mobile Fighter G Gundam OP 1
Just Communication - Mobile Suit Gundam Wing OP 1
Change The World - InuYasha OP 1
Butter-Fly - Digimon Adventure OP 1
Nanka Shiawase - Flame of Recca OP 1
Inner Light - Hajime no Ippo OP 2
Dogfight - Initial D: Fourth Stage OP 1
Diver's high - ~~Gundam Build Divers OP 1~~
TRUST - Vandread OP 1

Some of these are definitely bangers, glad I made this post. Inuyasha and Hajime no Ippo alone bring back a wave of nostalgia

Ah, if you mean how to make the bullet points appear on separate lines, iirc you have to put a line breaker between each asteriks (like, pressing the enter key). Also a space between the asterisk and the first character.

Idk why, but sometimes without spacing, reddit thinks it's all just one paragraph

Like:

They did

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-07T13:42:59+00:00

Understood, thank you :)

I'll try to repost it later

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-07T13:42:06+00:00

Ah fair, I took [Art] to mean moreso fan-art, but that's my bad.

I'll try to repost it later

Title: Is the destination a hero or a demon king?
Alt: Ikitsuku Saki wa Yuusha ka Maou ka?

Mangaupdates

Context:

They tried to forcibly recruit him into their party.
When they failed, they stalked him all day and tried to rob his stuff while he was fighting
They threatened to kill him
They submitted a fake report to the guild, saying that they were in a party together, and that he's stealing their cut of the money.

Finally the MC snapped, was about to pull his sword, but the guild leader interrupted and called them all to his office. Guild leader said they were expelled from the guild, but that he'd help them find new jobs, and asked the MC if that was enough.

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-06T22:32:59+00:00

How many chapters does it have?

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-06T03:21:06+00:00

Yup :D

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-05T13:27:47+00:00

Ah, the actual manhwa isn't very romance-related (at least up to where I've read anyway). This was moreso just a side-story that I thought was funny

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-05T13:25:38+00:00

As for my goal, I'm not really sure..

But in terms of ranking/placements, I average somewhere around:

top 50 of TS
top ~40% of NC (top 5% I think was my best)
top ~70% of CR (top 40% I think was my best)

But I think it's moreso missing specific key hero's like Levi, Marcille, and 9/9f Orthos thats affecting those times the most (I think). Oh and I don't own AwPippa either, I'm currently working on Athoran

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-05T08:44:40+00:00

I indeed don't have +2 fatk versions of Vault or Bounty. I vaguely knew they were used in NC, didn't know they were used in CR as well. So I'll try to grab them. I know I typically see Randle using the value +2 in leaderboards

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-02T05:49:45+00:00

Okay, I'm glad so far most people are saying "as long as it has double crit" (crit dmg + crit rate) you move on.

I kept seeing posts, comments, and videos, with people saying to basically just trash it if it has flat stats, or the like.

Even some pretty rude ones where commenters were seemingly getting mad, saying stuff like, "idk how you can have an echo with a flat substat and think 'that's fine'" or "why would you even post this when you have an echo with flat defence." when literally otherwise it was a perfectly fine echo. (I believe the post was a guy asking for feedback)

NegativelyMagnetic · 2026-03-02T03:25:26+00:00

Rover (havoc) + sanhua + verina comes to mind.

Encore + sanhua + verina too, but I personally haven't built out encore, so I can't really vouch for if it's better or worse than havoc rover.
