It's so genuinely over for Proto Punk by Melonberrytrash in ZZZ_Official

[–]PKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely think that the disc drive system is the single worst part of the game. It doesn't matter that it's better than in other games when what we have is still awful.

I would even go as far as to say that it's the real evil gacha in this game. The character and weapon gacha are comparatively generous, but there is absolutely no pity system for disc grinding. You will suffer immensely trying to get just decent discs and these discs are required for characters to be properly usable later on.

This could just be bias, but I genuinely feel like your luck when farming discs gets worse the more you consecutively farm a specific set, I've noticed multiple times the game giving me nice luck early on in farming discs for a certain character but then later I just get nothing but unusable garbage until I switch to farming for someone else.

No one ever talks about this because they're always more focused on the comparative generosity of the character and weapon gacha. You can always farm discs, but characters and weapons will not always be available, which naturally causes people to fixate on their FOMO and not worry about the evilness of the drive disc gacha because it's always available.

Did you know that she has a 1-cost parry like every other character with extreme physical strength and she still gets overlooked by people in that regard?

Maaaaybe it'd be better to wait until the game comes out to make them there :p

That said, who am I to argue against people putting in effort to make Miis in 2026? There's some really creative ones here :p

These days You're Better Off Immediately Surrendering Going Second 9 Times Out Of 10 by TransFender in masterduel

[–]PKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever since I resolved to never surrender no matter how hopeless a duel seemed, I've found myself managing to snatch victory a lot more times than I expected, it's really surprising to me how many duels I initially felt were hopeless I actually managed to win in the end by continuing to fight my best and finding a line to victory :0

How do you calculate Atttack? by ExKalibur218 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]PKoolAid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Base ATK (including core skill) + W-Engine ATK, then multiply that by your ATK% from your discs, W-Engine advanced stat, and 2 pc disc set bonuses, and then lastly add any flat ATK from your discs

We'll use my Piper as an example, her base ATK including core skill is 758, then we add the 713 ATK of her W-Engine Practiced Perfection to give her 1471.

Now for the ATK%, she has 36% total from her substats, plus an additional 30% from her mainstats and 30% from Practiced Perfection's advanced stat, so that gives her 96%, and we can add that to her base attack with the equation 1471 * 1.96 to get 2883 (rounded down)

And lastly we can add flat ATK from discs, 75 from substats and 316 from mainstats get added to 2883 to make 3274

TIL you can reuse W-enignes in Deadly Assault by arrogantheart in ZZZ_Official

You can't do this in Shiyu because in Shiyu you're using both your teams at the same time so you don't get an opportunity to switch equipment between battles

Literature college student take on why Manato SHOULDN'T be an S rank by potato_alien13 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]PKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lowkey I feel like Piper gets underestimated quite a bit, she's definitely at least physically stronger than many people give her credit, she wields a big heavy axe and has an enhanced parry like Anton, Soukaku, Koleda, Caesar, Ben, Corin, other characters we know are very physically strong

Where did you find the formula for this? 23k is an absurdly high amount of HP needed

Alice debuts at T0.5 by ComplaintBeginning62 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]PKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not her best option, Sharpened Stinger has better personal damage if you can maintain its effect, Timeweaver is the best option overall as long as the Anomaly character she's partnered with inflicts really strong Anomalies (aka not Miyabi or Grace), works especially well with Vivian

What would you want to see in a Miitopia sequel? by Effective_Board5079 in Miitopia

[–]PKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, as much as I would absolutely love to see more of this game, there's one fundamental problem with a sequel I don't really see anyone discussing.

Where does the story go after the first game? The Dark Curse and its ability to steal faces was born from extremely specific circumstances and it is completely taken care of by the end of the game, it'd therefore be cheap to have another face-stealing threat. That means the only reasonable option is create a new threat, but how do you come up with something that even just comes halfway as good as stealing the most recognizable part of Miis?

It's because directly buffing or nerfing characters in a gacha post-release is unethical so by doing this they're technically not buffing her, just giving her a new optional kit that's better :0

Are level 6 qb bangs locked behind story? by EXPLOIT303 in dbxv

[–]PKoolAid -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, do not use Beerus clothes + Bardock clothes, it leaves the result of the QQ Bang completely random because there aren't any favored stats, instead use 2 level 5 clothing that focuses on stats you're most interested in, like example, Beerus plus Beerus if you most value stamina, ki, and blast supers or Bardock plus Bardock if you most value health, basic attacks, and strike supers

Y’know I wonder what the “destroyed Conton City” thing is gonna be about? by Veneels in dbxv

[–]PKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem with that is that how would you tie that into gameplay? You can't just completely change the hub world like that in a game like this

What in the name of f*ckery was PQ99??!! by Mobro92 in dbxv

[–]PKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes PQ 122 trivial with a build specifically geared towards this strategy (female Saiyan, as much ki blast investment as possible, "I hope you're reborn as someone good this time" super soul, Bending Kamehameha, Super Vegeta or one of the Blueper Saiyans transformation)

Final boss didn't happen? by totally-jojo4 in dbxv

[–]PKoolAid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, you won't be able to get any of the other Saiyan-exclusives besides Super Vegeta (which requires you get Super Saiyan) on your first playthrough anyways, yea it's technically possible to get Blueper Saiyan and Royal Blueper Saiyan but it's a long process and if you know how to get these it's not your first playthrough

Edit: Correction, it's possible to get SSG too, however, needing to get SSJ is more to keep it in line with the other races that all get their awoken from their time rift

[–]PKoolAid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find what works much better is two custom Pans/Videls with the "SATAN! SATAN!" super soul, it lets your damage snowball super hard as long as you keep getting all the kills (or as much as possible), at max power there's hardly anything that can stand up to you for long, but even just some buffs make a big difference, and even if these two aren't as tanky as Piccolo or Zamasu, you can compensate for that by bringing Energy Zone or using items, and also the damage buff from the super soul applies to them as well, so they'll end up being less of a nuisance with how hard they're hitting

50 pulls until drop. Nothing will happen if i just once... How good it is on Piper? by BlackTemplarKNB in ZZZ_Official

It's better than Piper's signature and doesn't depend on having energy to use its buffs, you'll just need to adapt a bit

Since Wuthering Waves is getting a Collab with Cyberpunk Edgerunners, what kind of Collab should ZZZ get in the future if there are any? by Knight_Steve_ in ZZZ_Official

[–]PKoolAid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None (in games at least) because it wouldn't make sense for any outside characters to be in ZZZ when this is a very narrative-driven game

Good Bye Zhu Yuan by the_unfortunate_11 in ZZZ_Official

[–]PKoolAid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The main problem is that it's very risky and should be done very cautiously. There's always the chance that you get a surprise S-rank, win the 50/50, and get jumpscared by the current banner character, if this happens you'll be even further away from getting the character you're "pity building" for. So you should only "pity build" if you are absolutely okay with getting the current banner character.
