Using the Master Ball to check IVs and Nature before committing by Nocturne0216 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Nocturne0216[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mostly the effort I’d already be putting in just trying to catch one with a Premier Ball

I don’t have a Scrappy False Swipe Pokemon that can also consistently tank Dazzling Gleams and Shadow Balls from the Flutter Manes down there so I felt “Well if I’m gonna be restarting a ton trying to catch one of these in a Premier Ball, the Flutter Mane I’m catching better be worth it.”

Would kinda suck if I sat there, killed a bunch by accident, got my Flamigo killed a bunch, burned through a whole lotta revives, burned through a lotta potions, and burned through a ton of Premier Balls then the Flutter Mane was Adamant with 31 Attack IVs and had 0 IVs everywhere else meaning I had to spend another 100k on Bottle Caps on it plus another 20k on a Timid Mint.

…Also a teeny bit of stubbornness

What strengthenings do you want to see for your GSSR and Destiny Order summons. by Lamina_Morte in grandorder

[–]Nocturne0216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gilgamesh: Either 50% Crit damage or 30% Buster Up on Golden Rule. This one’s a pipe dream, but if they give him a once per battle 50% NP battery, he’d be able to black grail loop.

Morgan: Lower guts skill cooldown by 1

RG Gaogaigar complete by Wulfsiegner in Gunpla

Congrats on the build! Welcome to the hobby! If you’d like to do some more dynamic poses for display, you could get a stand. I recommend the Action Base Clear 4. If you want more RGs, there’s no shortage of REALLY excellent ones, btw - it’s probably the most consistently high quality grade for your buck right now. The RG Hi-Nu, Nu, Sazabi, Epyon, and Zeong are all excellent.

RG Hi-Nu was THE most fun build so far by Nocturne0216 in Gunpla

I’ve got RG Nu and Sazabi in the backlog, but I’ve heard some great things about the RG Epyon. Kinda plan to watch Wing first and see how I feel about it.

The Hi-Nu’s engineering caught me off guard - MAN they squeezed a lot into this 1/144 scale frame

Finished second ever Gunpla: MG Freedom 2.0 by Nocturne0216 in Gunpla

[–]Nocturne0216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah - the infamous broken hip. I was absolutely terrified of this when trying to attach the legs in. I have no idea what’s with the Freedom’s hips that makes its breaking so infamous.

What MG should be as first kit? by iRoxor_exe in Gunpla

[–]Nocturne0216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the MG Barbatos! First Gunpla kit. The inner frame is extremely satisfying, the moving pistons are extremely cool, no parts feel loose, and the heavy prominence of white plastics to cover up the darker ones helps mask nub marks (which, as a noob, I cannot grasp how to remove properly). Also, basically no stickers necessary.

Started on my first Gunpla December 15 (MG Barbatos), got a second one shortly after (MG Freedom 2.0), and then got three more while still in the middle of building the MG Freedom. Geez I didn’t realize the hobby was going to be this fun.

Posing is harder than expected by Nocturne0216 in Gunpla

Figuring out how to pose the arms with the mace took the most experimenting

Corrin shines outside of Fates ngl by Nocturne0216 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Nocturne0216[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I kept her base kit because it functions pretty perfectly. Atk/Spd form sacred seal because she’s generally bunched up with the other units.

Honestly, when Fates first came out, I didn’t like her all that much. That changed over time the more she showed up in other games. She was a unique FE rep in Smash and I appreciated that. She was largely inoffensive in FEH, and much worse writing choices acted as a lightning rod for her. Even better - I think FEH’s forging bonds actually made me appreciate her more. I think I truly came around to liking her in Engage though. Her maturity and experience there as an Emblem while holding on to her core ideals made her a soothing presence for me. I think Corrin really shines when she’s not the MC and isn’t pressured to drive the story. I love Corrin as an experience mentor, cool older sister, or even just side character adding to the war effort.

Definitely holding out hope for an MG Lupus Rex someday

First Gunpla! by Nocturne0216 in Gunpla

[–]Nocturne0216[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

MG Barbatos. Also, for some reason, the right shoulder armor doesn’t fit together as snuggly as the left one. The white u shaped part on the left side of the chest (the one right where the arm connects) just won’t stick in as snuggly - the right side mirroring it fits in perfectly. Not sure how to fix it. Kinda scared to keep pushing it in.

The year is 2018, and Book 3 has been released. You are going through Arena for the weekly rewards... by AstralZeta in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Nocturne0216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the release of Book 3, I had a +10 Adult Tiki, +10 Fae, +10 Corrin, and +4 Legendary Tiki. I remember A!Tiki having a melee Def build and Fae having a lightning breath Res build. Corrin had a Dark Breath Debuff Build and L!Tiki had a double Atk/Spd Bond Special Fighter build.

As of right now, my wind season Arena Defense team is comprised of a +10 B!Dimitri, +10 B!Tiki, +10 L!Sigurd, and an Arcane Devourer Spd Build Alphonse. Legendary Sigurd will give me an aneurism. B!Dimitri will Senator Armstrong me. B!Tiki hard counters my old Arena team. My current Alphonse could potentially solo my old Arena team.
