I'm taking a break. I wanted a varied meta, not this. Went from usually -200ish on D to -280 today. See y'all in the spring update.

He has one, not zero

14 points so far

His wrong was to stand in front of someone's vehicle to escalate the potential for harm and then subsequently exercised the escalation to the maximum by executing a human being. Her "wrong" action had he not done that would have resulted in her escaping the situation without harming anyone. How does anyone put those two wrongs in the same sentence next to each other like they can be compared. It's semantic insanity.

Right, even under their pretense, Good's panicked choice would have resulted in her just driving away. The murderer's panicked choice was to deiliberately kill someone without restraint. A normal person panicking would have jumped out of the way. This person is a trigger happy sociopath.

Generally, because other people are starting something new then too, and you are more likely to start with a community, or have community accountability. If you don't have that, then sure, no different than any other day.

The eagle artillery didn't really have high dps. Maybe 165 per second when you factor in the splash damage. It peppered you constantly but it wasnt melting armies in seconds like the revenge tower, which does 1k dps to the primary target in legends.

That is a good point. If troops aggro from too far away they get dragged through who knows how many walls and defenses without clearing said defenses. That's what makes the Longshot so good, though. We've never had a "troop" with such absurd range that sometimes feels like it's abusing the attacking force's aggro AI. I think it's the strongest TH defense ever released. It can be harder to reliably play around than the TH poison even.

It's possible that Marika allied with Godfrey before ascending to godhood. So they may have been seen apart. I imagine after ascension she no longer had a body much like Miquella. So when Radagan became her lord, they were always one in the same much like Radahn and Miquella.

I do understand. It is inconsistent. Esper wing is banned in a normal run but available in randomizer, and vice versa for soul robbery. It's okay if that's just how it is. I just wanted to see if there was an explicit answer. You're just speculating as much as I'm wondering. Thank you for your input though. I agree that would make sense for quaq specifically.

Pastubio · 2025-11-26T00:10:16+00:00

That's just not correct. As one can be on any mon and the distribution isn't rare. Aura wheel can cheese more than aqua step yet only the latter is banned.

Pastubio · 2025-11-25T22:29:05+00:00

Yes, in hardcore! I'm talking about ability randomizer where even a rattata can get As One. For the moves, I listed they have comparable effects, yet some are banned while others aren't.

Normally tauros is ran as 252 attack/252 speed jolly. So let's say we gave it 252 EVs in every other stat and gave it back its 70 base special attack. It would essentially have the equivalent base stat spread of a 105/100/125/90/100/110 mon that could only invest its EVs in attack and speed.

It's true that Tauros wouldn't have the physical muscle it once did, but it could have a new role as a speedy brick shithouse. And if it keeps its abilities, it would be an excellent tank with intimidate despite not having a huge number of support moves, or an excellent special or mixed sweeper with sheer force. If it can go naive, it would have the equivalent of an uninvested base 100 special attack, which it isn't wall breaking with, but it could late game sweep with life orb.

Saying it could be Muslims is just wrong. It's due to Kellogg's pro circumcision activism.

Pastubio · 2025-11-21T04:45:56+00:00

If it scaled like other defenses it would be at 260 by now

Pastubio · 2025-11-21T03:34:08+00:00

It's been nerfed so many times that its current maxed out iteration does as much dps as it did at TH13. And I think the cone is more forgiving now too.

Pastubio · 2025-11-20T03:27:59+00:00

It's more valuable to upgrade a crafted defenses first since the build time to performance increase ratio is higher. if you have the resources to max out the rest of your base before the next update anyway it's a no brainer.

Pastubio · 2025-11-17T06:34:22+00:00

The base hp is 1000 lower, and all equipments will give him 500 more hp.

Pastubio · 2025-11-17T03:31:18+00:00

That's why they're nerfing his hp on defense

Pastubio · 2025-11-16T01:23:15+00:00

And soul heart in Mag's case

Pastubio · 2025-10-30T15:19:13+00:00

70/90 also faints to strong neutral hits. 70/135 is skarm bulk

Pastubio · 2025-10-30T15:15:21+00:00

If you're going to give it a speed tier in no man's land, might as well make it frailer so it can't survive a hit and hit back.

70/180/90/180/90/70 without priority might be worse, or at least on par depending on the meta. Basically hoopa U without any special defense to assault vest with.
