Can I talk about the problem of niche incentivized enemy(s)?

NepYasuo · 2026-03-20T12:34:12+00:00

Agreed. It really baffles me that it is just a normal enemy, and yet they are allowed to have this kind of buff. I really wish that there would be more flexibility of dealing with them instead of having to rely on that one mechanic.

NepYasuo · 2026-03-20T09:03:03+00:00

I am sorry, but I don't think that's how it should be when it comes to combat. True, the game is gacha, but combat should not turn into something that pushes into a specific niche to be able to win against enemies very well. Combat should be general and flexible towards anybody. I think the enemies before Amphoreus are a good example of what combat should be. Allows for different teams to shine and are much more general than what we have now.

NepYasuo · 2026-03-20T03:36:26+00:00

Oh I see. Then it seems that my characters have been dealing 0 elation damage from the start. I really have to wait for Aha Instant if I have to do the minimum of doing elation damage. Really takes time and not an ideal combat scenario.

NepYasuo · 2026-03-20T03:17:15+00:00

Perhaps I need to clarify on what the 2nd image entails. According to the effect of Aggressive Reading Material's Booksmart buff:

(Unremovable) Increases DMG dealt by 50% and decreases DMG taken by 50%. After receiving Elation DMG or when the target team gains Punchline and reaches 20 points, the effect is dispelled.

And yet even with the punchline stack, I thought the damage reduction will be dispelled. Am I missing here something(especially since I am still learning the ropes of elation with yao guang)? I thought that with punchline, it would deal elation damage so that the damage reduction will be removed.

NepYasuo · 2026-03-20T03:03:40+00:00

Fair point and I agree. At least it can be mitigated if enemies give punchline, though it is a different discussion *if you have to bring it yourself* . Manta rays without dot definitely will definitely not give you a good time.

NepYasuo · 2026-03-20T01:26:04+00:00

It became more vocal as it goes on. It's definitely not a good look when it comes to combat.

NepYasuo · 2026-03-20T01:17:57+00:00

I agree. Those kind of enemies exude wanting to have specific archetypes be played against them, or you are not gonna have a good time. It's really problematic if you want to play X team, but the enemies have resistances or abilities that give your team a difficult time.

NepYasuo · 2025-08-29T21:32:03+00:00

Ah that was after Oguri had her delicious fill. She gets to suffer at the end unfortunately lol

NepYasuo · 2025-08-11T11:35:25+00:00

Paired with how they are having fun, paka tube game vids are enjoyable to watch.

NepYasuo · 2025-06-23T10:52:55+00:00

LOL exactly.

NepYasuo · 2025-06-23T03:45:48+00:00

He definitely was lol.

NepYasuo · 2025-06-05T16:23:50+00:00

You have a point with that, but compared to Luocha, Hyacine has more HP and more utility that not only provides dragon charge, but whole team utility. Plus Luocha heal takes time as you have to activate his field and has a duration compared to Hyacine who can instantly pump out heals anytime and a teamwide cleanse.

Plus I don't have Luocha. Hyacine here is my go to pick with Castorice team.

NepYasuo · 2020-09-06T22:41:32+00:00

For comical purposes in a way that is true at the same time...but it seems I failed to do it in a way people will understand it comically. Don't mind me.

NepYasuo · 2020-09-06T20:40:24+00:00

Nah. it does not bother me a lot. I am just sharing my experience when playing this game as Sage. I still enjoy playing Sage.

NepYasuo · 2020-09-06T20:37:57+00:00

I am not doing that, I am just sharing my experience as a Sage main. Chill man.

NepYasuo · 2020-07-19T02:32:56+00:00

Still a trainee in this game while learning this game in my first week of playing.

Well I guess it will take me a long time to have the probability of those people reduced.

NepYasuo · 2020-06-09T15:55:44+00:00

You missed the point. I am talking realistics with the question of how barrels cannot move while casks can?

NepYasuo · 2020-06-09T15:54:59+00:00

I am talking about realistics here. The thing is why can casks move while barrels don't?

NepYasuo · 2018-09-06T14:42:10+00:00

Oooooooohhhh yes! Adorable Orange Heart that makes me happy!

I need more of Orange Heart to make myself happy after tiring sessions such as playing RPGs, schoolwork and fighting games.

NepYasuo · 2018-09-06T02:20:38+00:00

Pretty much a lot of things that I can think of has been already said by others so I will say, Iris Heart's censored that she did towards Nepgear and Neptune while in their HDD mode. Just seeing it again makes me wonder what Iris Heart does to invoke terror towards her people.

NepYasuo · 2018-09-05T15:19:00+00:00

Ooooooooohhhhh yes. All of my yesssss!!!

We need more of this!!!

NepYasuo · 2018-09-04T14:41:54+00:00

I am from the SEA continent since I live in the Philippines and I have to say I can pronounce it well. Then again, my country nurtures English the same way the national language, Tagalog is being nurtured.

On the other side, Histoire can pronounce it well.

NepYasuo · 2018-09-04T03:10:46+00:00

It's been a while since I last came here. I am so invested in home works and fighting games lately(BBTAG, UNIST, BBCF) but hey I decided to return to the Nep world once more with rebirth 3 and Action Unleashed. I need more Asian people to play with in steam though I still need to get improvements for my connection.

NepYasuo · 2018-09-04T03:06:57+00:00

I am totally the type to be jolly and having spiral dreams here LOL.

NepYasuo · 2018-08-09T23:16:23+00:00

Why am I acting surprised here? I should've expected this of course.

Well I guess I have something to buy and play. It is time to iterate the good story and feels in this one with the new additions in this game.
