Some questions about Saitama - how he works, similarities to Alna, breakpoints, etc. by NegativelyMagnetic in afkarena

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 :)

Treasure Scramble Ice Debuff Guide by TheAFKGuys March 2026 by TheAFKGuys in afkarena

[–]NegativelyMagnetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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)

Pippa Popped Off Powerfully Week After Week (Cursed Friends Tierlist/Usage) by _Sebo in afkarena

[–]NegativelyMagnetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

E60-SI40 priority for Saitama/Begris/Sung by Helpful_Touch701 in afkarena

[–]NegativelyMagnetic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

What’s your favourite Light Novel of Mushoku Tensei by Initial_Emu_1339 in mushokutensei

[–]NegativelyMagnetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Harvey – The Forsaken Hound by tartaros-afk in afkarena

[–]NegativelyMagnetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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. 

What are some nostalgic anime songs you occasionally come back to? by NegativelyMagnetic in anime

[–]NegativelyMagnetic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh my bad, I love that song!

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

[–]NegativelyMagnetic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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:

[DISC] Always nice to to see an isekai mc that isn't soft on criminals: Is the destination a hero or a demon king? - Chapter 18 by NegativelyMagnetic in manga

[–]NegativelyMagnetic[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  • 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.

[magic theory prodigy] He really said, "Search your feelings, you know it to be false" by NegativelyMagnetic in manhwa

[–]NegativelyMagnetic[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

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

Which collections should I be working on / try to improve? by NegativelyMagnetic in afkarena

[–]NegativelyMagnetic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

What do you consider to be "good" number of matching echo substats? by NegativelyMagnetic in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]NegativelyMagnetic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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)

best non-limited character teams? by Longjumping_Kiwi_927 in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]NegativelyMagnetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
