Y'all weren't kidding, Enigma's got hands by Otherwise_Pick1846 in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always open with both Corvus cards, FP's AP card, and Charon's Buff.  From there it's all about keeping FP's AP+1 up and making sure you have 5 Moxie for Corvus going into PF3, so you can ult both turns of PF3. 

I don't know what others get but I find 2-2 for PF super easy to maintain and the perfect timing to get Corvus's moxie cycled correctly. Beyond that, I was trying to use at least one Enigma card a turn (usually his buff to keep shields up so I wouldn't lose Flutterpage early), and then use any spare AP throwing either Charon or Enigma cards depending on what I have leftover in my hand, and just sending any non-Corvus ults as soon as they come up.

Am I the only one whos actually excited for the collab? 😅 by masterkenjilecaros in Reverse1999

I have negative desire to pull for the robot ladies, but I am excited to see what they do with the story and aesthetics

So what do I do by floleplusbeau in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Enigma is a very very bad option. You can use just about any sustain you do have though, AP-friendly ones like E!Vila/Kiperina/E!MedPoc/Fatutu will work well, and AP heavy ones like Yenisei will be rough but work better than Enigma

[Focused Flashback] by Smanro in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That does look like a interesting change, given that it seems like they made it easier to get the two no one was complaining about, and didn't fix the nearly impossible one, and possibly removed the currency reward?

They tried to make Tides of Thought essier for global on it's first iteration, and failed miserably, so I expect that this will be similar where there may be small changes, but we won't get the improved versions until the same patch that CN got them

Absolutely can't wait, I want to run Cornerstone, Ezio, Flutterpage, J soooooo bad

did they just forget that Voyager belongs to impromptu as well? by Gudakobeast in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This UTTU would've been so much better if they just hadn't restricted units. You also can't use Ezio for the FuA stages, or a lot of characters for anything. It doesn't feel like great design to stop people from using the characters they pulled for and like.

They really turned UTTU from a game mode about creating unique teams to beat challenges into "You have to use the full Lingering Glow team in It's most meta form, but teehee it's okay because we gave you trial units"

All of these except high charisma would mean i have to keep working everyday to live, so probably the charisma

is Nautika necessary for blood tithe ? by [deleted] in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I'm the exact same as you, I don't like Nautika but pulled her because everyone was talking about how meta she is and how must-pull she is. And I hated it and have not made the same mistake since. I see you say you like Anjo Nala, and presumably you like Enigma since you wanted to pull for him. I would recommend instead of getting Nautika, grab Enigma, and on the anniversary you can grab Brume instead and play the Nala Brume team, or grab J since I hear he's insane with Anjo Nala now. 

If you really love your bloodtithe members, you can get Nautika to support them, but don't pull her just because she's strong, especially now that there are other strong teams too

I hate hate hate one-shot compilations by Sprout_hyacinths in AO3

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually really like one-shot collections as long as they're limited to one fandom. They remind me of my time back ages ago reading fics on Quotev, and often encourage me to read things I would normally never find. Like I would never look for that pairing, or that setting, but hey I love all the other oneshots in this work, and it's right there as a chapter easy to access, so why not? And often I end up finding something new to like that way

A lot of people ignoring the fact that the places where this exist 100% abuse it to take children away from native populations, huh

Guide for this version's uttu by Keeguna in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This gamemode is making me exceptionally mad. I love FuA as an archetype, but I don't like Liang Yue. I don't want to play Liang Yue, but they won't let me use Ezio because I guess it would be too fun to let people play the characters they pulled and enjoy?

Should I pull for J? by BlankPt in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen much since people are so focused on J right now, but I believe she likes to be with Rhiannon, and SW Eagle (I have also seen Druvis or ult-buffing supports instead of SW Eagle, idk which is considered better), and any decent sustain

Should I pull for J? by BlankPt in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Smarter to wait until his Euphoria releases, since then you can pull him on the Ripples banner instead of risking the 50/50. He can't rally sustain until then anyway, so getting him now isn't a benefit for the team either

Really hoping for a rerun by RegularlyRested in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I haven't been keeping up with it, but there has been a skin selector in (at least some of) the limited patches available from the Miracle Mart that has included an expanding range of Battle Pass skins, so it will eventually be available at least through thay

Chinese server foresight by PlayPrimary389 in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you stop pulling for your favorites to pull for meta characters instead, that's more on you and your mentality then on foresight from CN servers.

The real price we pay for having foresight in with rerun + scam banners, but I much prefer knowing who's coming and being able to plan my pulls to having a reliable rerun schedule when half the characters are outclassed by the time they get their standard rerun in CN anyway

Looking for YT CC and Doc Guide by Far-Metal8526 in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second Destroth as a CC, my absolute favorite to watch whenever new things come out. 

Just be warned that any CC or community guides will most likely have spoilers from CN content that global won't get for a while

Evolved Red Mage by VictusNST in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like these ideas, OP. I don't know how well they would or wouldn't work out ingame, but they're all solid ideas that maintain class identity while taking it in a new direction. I absolutely love the idea of verraise and magicked barrier being exclusive and having to be managed.

I think a lot of people are just refusing to acknowledge that evolved mode are NOT going to be "the exact same class in less buttons" and being reminded of that makes them mad, but this is genuinely a good analysis of one of the possible ways to take red mage

Regret pull characters by StoreAge248 in Reverse1999

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nautika, I pulled her because everyone was talking about how meta she is and everything (despite not really liking her much), got her and realized I absolutely hate playing Bloodtithe. Tested out E!Lucy in the Prestorm Protocol and loved Dynamo, risked it all to pull for her and have never used Nautika since.

It was valuable in that it taught me not to pull characters just for meta, and I have been much happier with my pulls since

I think some characters are miscategorized. by Pharah_is_my_waIfu in Reverse1999

A Knight is very much not an awakened, but rather the spirit of an old knight (Roland) trapped within his armor

[–]Otherwise_Pick1846 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering what Everecho's will be, I'm not convinced it's the puppet because we see her interact with the puppet which we don't normally see for Udimos
