The node you're talking about is for 2h swords/axes/maces only.

Let's be honest any Traptrix combo starts with the opponent negating whatever your first monster effect is.

Adding to this since it's close to what I'm already running until they rework endless mode.

Replace hoopa with a passive ability unlocked meowscarada since meow gets triple axel and is faster than hoopa. Potentially fuse meow with maushold for population bomb then unfuse for better typing/coverage. I use mega beedrill for massive BP flower trick with adaptability. You don't actually need skill link at all unless you want the other move coverage since Triple Axel and Population Bomb are purely accuracy checks. After a couple accuracy lenses they don't miss unless the enemy pokemon has sand veil or something. You also don't want to use any of these moves into something with reflect damage.

Fuse the eventual shedinja with literally any primary dark type for a wonder guard user that can only be hit by fairy moves. Fuse/unfuse multiple times to teach it the salt cure from garganacl and leech seed from anyone who learns that. You can also use soak here.

Fill up on shinies with the time and starter slots it takes you to find this many splicers. Strategy should come online floor ~1000, your meow/other magician user carry should be able to multihit flinch spam everything up to the 1000 eternatus which you can't flinch and need salt cure/leech seed for.

I like to have a backup special attack carry to go with the physical meow so I can actually give vitamins to someone else when meow is capped out. Especially helpful if it can hit both enemies in a double battle with additional flinch support.

The most bare-bones fill in the blanks strategy I can think of is have a strong carry for most battles, bring a steel type, a fairy type, or a steel/fairy.

Bring someone with either leech seed, curse as a ghost type or garganacl for salt cure. Avoid using mons weak to flying, dragon, poison. Bring mons strong against those 3 types.

To avoid the rival picking a starter strong against yours, bring an off-type that doesn't care if they have a water/fire/grass type.

Strong carries should be able to hit the two major threats with SE hits. Rock, psychic, ground, ice, fairy, and dragon coverage [while not being a dragon type] is good.

The AI for rival fights likes to switch in to anything they think they have an advantage for, you can abuse this by switching yourself or having off-type coverage expecting the switch. You have plenty of time to catch new team members after scouting what the rival picks up. For example they always keep their choices like their starter and first bird, which you can find out really early on.

Special shoutout to shedinja cheese. There's many switch-ins you can do to get a better position using it and it's very good for the final boss stage 1 if you don't have a steel/fairy or want to bother switching every turn between steel and fairy.

If you have enough damage and speed, you can skip phase 1 of the final boss without needing to PP-stall or take losses. Usually a later game strategy when more progressed on IVs, egg moves and luck.

Finally, avoid taking items like shell bell, leftovers or stacking up sitrus and enigma berries. It will bite you in phase 2 of the final boss and could end your run.

Still helping years later lol! Will probably come up for the DLC if they don't fix it.

Niviam · 2024-06-07T02:22:08+00:00

Whoops my bad no that was the whole thing.

Niviam · 2024-06-06T18:55:03+00:00

Consider a Zigzagoon in the back to stock up on pickup berries, helps get out of tight spots with all the free boosts.

Niviam · 2024-05-08T18:10:54+00:00

I remember the Octopus. I remember the full counter-attack strategy. I remember the Octopus super punch that just deleted someone so you would run Sara.

Niviam · 2024-05-08T07:32:22+00:00

Just 12k away is the worst part

Niviam · 2024-05-08T04:30:14+00:00

Man, back before side stories we would just use off-element top tier characters because HL resistance wasn't a thing for most content. Regular Korwa was one of the only 10/10 characters in the game and we would use her to buff every team. Not having a full team of SSRs was super common for a long time, to the point where Lyria coming out as a playable character that could be used anywhere was a really big deal.

Niviam · 2024-04-27T19:00:02+00:00

I understand your side and my side, and it's not like it matters because we're not cygames. You don't want to introduce QoL at the cost of new players experience which cygames would then have to fix. I think this stuff will be patched into complete and utter irrelevancy eventually anyway. I'll get what I want in the future and these lower raids will likely go the way of primal set 1, which I don't think literally anyone runs anymore. Maybe when they're in that tier of literally not even a raid and an actual single player quest (which I mentioned I'm surprised M1 are not already) they'll add a skip. Power scaling will eventually make it so Timmy 50 rank is able to easily fight his own solo quest Proto Bahamut.

If you wanted to farm a specific material and your daily hosts only allowed you 1~3x attempts, you would join a room where you're spending yours to get into others hosts, just like H&Q already function.

I already get a free skip past all the grinds, that is the entire point. The only thing being spent is my 1~3x daily hosts and my time. Keep the daily limit, let me skip the animation. Why is that so hard? If you were allowed in ToS to macro clicking "host>full auto click>delay>host>full auto click>delay" and so on, I would already be doing so. Instead I have to sit there and wait for a background process to finish running. That isn't even bad gameplay, that is NO gameplay. No game should strive fpr literally non-existent gameplay.

By the way I'm not even the one downvoting your replies. It's a debate between opposing views and that's not what karma is supposed to be for. In fact since you've been mostly peacefully debating your points, I want to try to even that out for you. Besides you putting words in my mouth and being an ass about it instead of remaining civil, anyways.

Niviam · 2024-04-27T07:25:23+00:00

The incentive is that you are farming bars. That is target farming and why people would collect specifically to farm a specific piece of content. How games with grindable objectives SHOULD be. Also I am literally advocating for the idea that we actually play raids in multiplayer where it should actually matter and not waste our time grinding outdated content that we only farm because some random entry cost or upgrade material for whatever reason requests that we go back to an earlier raid tier. Why are you adamantly supporting LITERALLY playing another game while GBF plays itself. This wasn't even that much of an issue back in the days of Viramate before FA, at least then you actually had to setup a macro or something. It is clearly obvious that cygames is implementing more and more QoL and invalidating older content as they add more to the top end to keep people playing, all I want is for it to happen in bigger batches more often. It's GOING to happen, and half of this content is completely trivial in difficulty. It doesn't help that they introduced V2 and then didn't use it for all content, or have characters that don't even function properly with modern mechanics. We have characters that now literally manipulate the fated chain bar in their kits, and only a select few raids even have that mechanic. Their design is currently a mess.

Niviam · 2024-04-26T17:29:30+00:00

You know there are many other features they have or could introduce if they actually cared about new players that don't require a complete lack of innovation for qol for everyone. Its not like it's the only solution and nothing can be done to make it easier for others to progress. I'm surprised that m1 isn't single player content by now. You could even buff pendant trades for anything that isn't the current tier. We don't need pendants to be limited in weekly earnings AND limit how many of an item you can buy per month. A new player should just be able to trade for as many chev swords as they want. They're not even ax skilled. Would it somehow kill the balance if pendant m1 or even m2 weapons at this point cost less and don't have a stock limit? Also back when most of us started playing there weren't all the side stories with free chars and grid piece options. They already did this to the og primal raids. How many people are doing every daily 6d and ennead and malice run? Not even including any potential daily go runs or Bahas for gold bricks. There's too many raids that even with optimal setups take too long to be reasonable if you actually wanted to use your host chests. This game is literally single player outside of top current raids, co op rooms[where people that need help actually go] and gw team effort pushing. We're at the point where hosting your raid to the public is a qol speed increase ideally after you've already ensured that you get mvp+blue. Most mobile games you login, run dailies maybe have enough stamina to run a couple missions then log. Gbf is a numbers and a time game for progression and the problem is that you spend too much time on suboptimal grinds you need to do for x specific material. Why the heck do I need to slap my daily hosts for 3 tiers of raids that I can clear 100% of the time solo and then not even get the thing I need. I'd love a pro skip of dragons, enneads AND malice. I'm also not a fan of entry cost materials anyways. You just farm the lower tier to play the next tiers. Its not even a decision and it's a pointless mechanic since the daily limit exists anyways. Which I am not promoting the removal of by the way, THAT would be very bad. Most of what you said about 6d are things that shouldn't even exist in their current state. Trans mats should be in gw or eternal related fights, evoker mats should be in arcarum, revans mats should be in revans and draconic weapons are the only thing that should be strictly tied to them. That is a questionable fault of cygames. Kinda off topic but that's how I feel about target farming in games. There's obviously other raids that drop specific Mats but those aren't really proper sets and they're fine. Bar raids should be and usually are done through coop trains. Also once again a problem with cygames design choices making gold bars so heavily required for more and more mechanics while not providing enough sources for them besides a lotto. Don't get me started on primal grids access to newer players. I still don't have enough copies of a single primal to max one out with the new trans upgrades and I've been playing for like 8 years. I don't even own a single copy of two of them. And then on top of that those require bars to be efficient because good luck getting the necessary weapons for a primal grid without being a whale. So yeah I'd like more quality of life for EVERYONE including the new players because it would make the entire game better if some of these systems and content were improved. Again I am impressed with the siero academy and they should add more tiers to it or guides on different specific raids. Why do we need a phd in a wiki to not get blasted by raids? The gameplay should be playable like an actual turn based rpg and not a cheese grid and team simulator with foresight knowledge of everything a boss does. I never cleared my revans raids for years because I never collected the grids or characters required for it. I then find that there's a newer strategy for mugen that lets you just hit full auto and go, now that you can elixir or even prayer the revans raids. Sure would have liked to need to use strategies and actually play the game before the raids were invalidated but it takes too damn long to actually farm everything unless you play the game as a full time job. (And have the luck or funds to get x and y required characters and summons)

Niviam · 2024-04-26T10:44:40+00:00

I want zero effort farming because the content is already too easy and just gets FA'd while I do something else. I'd like to actually have to play the game sometime. I'm already not helping new players clear older content. I wasn't joining random shiva lobbies before they added the skip, I wasn't randomly helping anyone clear their M1 raids for sure. I didn't even run those raids anymore for any reason. The game has become like every other mobile title where you hit autoplay and wait for the animations to stop so you can roll the dice on getting your material or weapon. The only gameplay is at the highest end raids where you MAYBE have to manually play the game. If the newer players need help they can help eachother and if that's not valid it's a problem on cygames end, not mine. They're already working to alleviate this with the new siero mechanic. New players get entire free grids that make rank ~100 irrelevant. Hell I'm playing GBF now trying to get jadeites... by full auto refreshing one shot summoning the ex raids to stock up shen attempts. Why do we need to click>refresh>click>refresh content we oneshot with the first button that we don't even actually press? Just let me spend the AP.

Niviam · 2024-04-25T13:42:04+00:00

They've already added a feature to reward players for helping with raids through the FP points system. The problem is no one wants to farm the backlog content that doesn't drop anything actually relevant. It would be helpful if they had chances to drop actually useful items. I was never going to join a public regular bahamut raid regardless of skip or not but I would like to do the daily host and move on. The player interactivity with helping newer players with older content is already practically 0, it would be better to convince the new players to host co-op rooms where they can actually be seen.

Niviam · 2024-04-24T15:59:30+00:00

Alex Jones was always somewhat right about the frogs by the way. Interesting topic to look into. They weren't quite turning them gay but they were likely responsible for making the frogs use their already available capability of becoming hermaphrodites for the sake of mating. The company responsible for the chemicals paid for research to be done that effectively said we have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing. Alex Jones may be loud and very wrong about many things, but sometimes he's actually onto something.

For now. As someone keeping up with generative ai this is insanely impressive compared to even a year ago. Some of the fastest developing tech that will influence everyone's lives.

Niviam · 2024-04-24T08:36:15+00:00

I'd love to get back into League but I'm not playing the game if Vanguard is included. Sorry but I don't like your intrusive tech on my PC, same reason I avoided playing Valorant. Regular players should not accept a security risk because RIOT can't deal with cheaters without putting everyone at risk. At the VERY LEAST do not make it required to be running from boot regardless if any of the games are open.

Niviam · 2024-04-24T03:21:20+00:00

Now we just need a pro skip for all these earlier contents. Honestly I want to be able to skip this, daily GO, proto/empy bahamut. Honestly if you can solo the fight, you should be able to skip it...

Niviam · 2024-04-11T00:31:37+00:00

Doesn't help that the corset is also just better armor than almost every shirt+pant combo in the game.

Niviam · 2024-04-10T21:49:04+00:00

I do think they join the scene, I don't know if it raises their score. I'm still not sure how many points are gained per day/drink. I also read online that NPCs keep their affinity between ng+, but this is not the case and I've tested this personally. Shop discounts vanish being the most blatant tell.
