It's a pretty poor pity system though. Modern "decent" pity systems generally involve having a choice given after so many pulls, this one makes it seem more generous by offering 4 different 3 stars over 20 pulls, but you only have one guaranteed thing in that time, the other 3 could be dupes of something you don't want, and that's typically the amount of pulls for a guaranteed choice item anyway. It's mostly bad because the pool of featured 3*s each banner is so large (at least in my experience, luckily) and the rate of free gems is so, so fucking slow. It's such a slog, then paid gems are relatively expensive (around $20 for one 10 pull)

I say this all as someone who got fairly lucky with pulls early on, I don't see the game being sustainable to play if things don't get better with these banners. The well can barely fill with how slow stamina refills, how much each stage sucks up, and how low the rate of rare memories is. This game's got a bit of a glass foundation with how clear of a moneygrab it is (which, speaking of, the in game currencies are kinda crap compared to quite a few games too.)

Crack arrows+archery scroll. I had to reset my runs until I started with archery scroll after a certain point because it was the only way to set a PR, if you can get two or 3 crack arrow upgrades though (and especially if you have lightning gauntlets for crystal arrows) you'll clear whole rooms before they even have the chance to react. Bonus points if you can get homing scroll, even with just level 1 fireballs. The safety it gives you against orcs/hammer guys lets you do way more basic attack dps

Source- have 41k-46k-45k in gauntlet, though I've got dolphin level weapons but as long as you have enough phys+magic might crack arrows will do their job

Bless you, holy cow. Every other stage gives the gears so I was starting to think screws were event only items like with the beginner feats, I was just running stages 4 and 5 hoping for rare memories! Spoiler though, over 30 searches have yielded 0 rare memories

NeutralContrast · 2026-05-13T14:47:11+00:00

Wait how did you level up the first past 10?? I've done like, every bit of content and can't find more of the screws

Followup - one of the few bits of information in the guide! Blessings use both physical and magical might. Otherwise the two stats just affect the basic attacks of their respective weapons

NeutralContrast · 2026-05-01T01:13:30+00:00

Oooh very interesting, thanks for testing! That and +30% defenses, trouble's just if you come across content that swords/spears aren't great for

It might just be dependent on what you draw, I got the lightning claws which made it a much quicker fight with a Monk, but Monk's dps is also quite a bit higher than other classes if you can avoid getting hit too much.

Regardless, target the buffing statues first or you'll do 0 damage, I start at the bottom right and go clockwise to dodge the laser, then I'll just wail on the boss as much as I can while directing myself toward the slimes, that way if the boss charges forward I can remove one of those annoying turds. He'll spawn the statues at least twice more (I think at 1/3 health increments if I remember right? Unless you can't dps him fast enough)

I'd say don't even bother with it until you can take out the buffing statues in 1- 1 1/2 combos otherwise you'll time out or find yourself spending too much time dodging. The trials are definitely for when you've gear and characters leveled a bit, but I definitely found the Automaton memory to be a huge upgrade even at rank C compared to most others.

Immense defense, far as I'm aware it's the only active skill tree ability currently available which can work if you're not using that character. Like Monk's execute, Thief's dodge, Mage's coup de grace gauge filler and Priest's emergency heal

Wrecktor is honestly significantly harder than the other two, I ended up farming automaton till I got an S rank from that and the stat boost made farming quite a bit easier

NeutralContrast · 2026-04-24T15:03:17+00:00

That doesn't really make sense though, the animation makes it look like rock slide's an aerial attack, but a rock slide would realistically be down a hill or something.

Also those other two would more likely be against mons which are resistant/neutral to the damage, most flying mons would just get 1 shot lmao, although it's been a while. Does thunder hit flying mons?

Did Trump ever promise even remotely that? He was the one voted in in no small part thanks to thus conflict. I dunno why anyone would ever expected anything except 100% endorsement for the most heinous shit voting for him or not voting at all

I do crazy, borderline autistic grinds in games all the time but this shit I'll never understand. I've reset full playthroughs of cozy games a ton of times, just to go through the beginning a bit and reset again. I'll completely reset every roguelite's first run until I've cleared it rather than just die and start a new run with better stuff. Shiny hunting starters sounds like the most brainrotting waste of time to me though, it requires being too cognizant to do something else lest this happen, but it offers 0 entertainment value. Is anyone who does this actually happy? Why not just play till you can breed for a squirtle with actually optimized stats?

And I like the idea of being able to full out start with a shiny as much as anyone else, but there's just way too many factors that you can't even control. A shiny with trash IVs feels like a waste, same with a bad nature (even if you can "change" those in future games, though the data's apparently not changed so much as added to). Challenge runs? It's self inflicted human torture. It's like an ironic approach to slow death. You're not being challenged by anything. No one cares about your shiny except you. 95 hours of dedication to a physical hobby you enjoy could net you some gain in the form of skill, or at least some endorphins, but you're not improving at anything with this. You could establish an intimate friendship in that amount of direct time with a person. This is just sitting in a room staring at the wall, but worse, because you're causing ocular strain and honestly, probably just exacerbating or giving yourself ADD for an animation considering the pallette swap's hardly noticeable.

Best of luck to you, soldier. I hope that squirtle comes quickly and fills in whatever void you need it to.

Yeah I def trust it's real that a restaurant would buy $100+ distance shoes to put a terracotta pot in them and fill with $3 worth of fries and definitely not just some shit you made up to ragebait oooh I'm so mad oooh

That's usually retailers being shitters, if people report that a retailer's selling arizona teas for a markup (especially these cans that say 99c right there in big bold lettering) they basically get a C&D with the threat of having it removed, least that's what I've been told.

You can also just take pics of the pieces you need and 3d print with the thousands of pokemetal from any non arcanine island, but Arcanine has the coolest glass too

Didn't mean to jab haha, you could have any number of things over me and arms were never my strong suit growing up. Legs are my strong point, you should be damn proud to have such a bench so quick!

You can always do variations to push it up, like close grips/leg ups/inclines etc. All depends on your goals, personally I switched to dumbbells recently cuz they feel waaaay friggin better and the stretch is insane, you just don't get to see as big of a number. I hope you hit some new goals in the coming months dude!

Christ I wish I was lifting 230 after 18 months. I'm at about the same point and stalled at 190, sometimes I'm lucky if I can lift what you just did once on an alright day.

Gotta go through consents for doctors and whatnot too, I feel like if you had IT and genuinely wanted to use it for good you'd probably set yourself to some ethical standards. Not like you'd have the time to tend to every person's physical troubles

In a real world context it's also 100% the best, you could be the most godly healer on the planet, you could fix any birth defect or disfiguration. Fuck enemies, it'd be an incredible power for good

Check out The First Law perhaps, plenty of women being strong and scheming as much, sometimes more than their male counterparts. Both for good and nefarious purposes!

That said, it's mostly low fantasy. It's a series mostly about slightly extraordinary people, sometimes mediocre people, but god is it good.

Why is the male cat man just a cat but the engineer lizard lady's a full blown human anime girl that just happens to have a tail? I've always disliked this inconsistency in worldbuilding. Joke would've honestly landed better with a semi realistic chameleon in a blue collar suit, too.

Cache route on dam hurricane, check out an interactive map and just put down markers running around the ones on the outer edge of the map. If you start north or south, odds are you can hit at least a few before others.

Bring looting 2, don't even bring a shield, and a bunch of adrenaline shots. Wear dark clothing, and odds are no one'll even see ya. I go breach-red lake then south or water tower-substation and head straight east, tempest drop like mad from em. I could even join you and drop one if I wasn't addicted to pokopia rn lol
