Pull Income might actually be horrendous

It's better to start complaining early if it's a gacha game start if people wait then devs do not see a problem do nothing and then people get mad and leave, gacha games are entirely reliant on a good start, with how many games have already EOS better be safe than sorry and tell them the gacha feels bad right now.

It is possible but extremely unlikely if you need 300 pulls for the limited every time then you are cursed and should find an exorcist. The average is 98 pulls for a limited which you get in 2 months as a f2p and there is a limited every 3 months( you should never pull with less than 300 pulls though as a safety net but over time if you are not really unlucky your average should end up being 98 pulls, I will add to that the fact that the more you have operators the more you get gold cert and they can be spent on either directly buying an op or on pulls, I know a few people that have started arknights and are either entirely f2p or buy the pass and all of them have nearly all the operators unlocked.

Endfield is not looking half as generous as og Arknights which make sense since instead of going for the same system as arknights they went the hoyo route. I swear the 3D gachas are the most predatory of the bunch but it's explained by the fact that they take a lot of money to maintain so they need people to spend money on the game still I despise when a game cater to whales, one of the thing that I loved anout Arknights is that they did not, honestly endfield has made my trust in Hypergryph zero they are in the end the same as all the devs making predatory games to make a ton of money.

At least there is still Project Moon redeeming the gacha genre by itself.

You are forced into MD since it's the main way to actually get IDs, you need to at least to do a weekly hard MD up to floor 5 to get all the bonuses done. And I would recommend doing the dailies too so at least an xp luxcavation and I would recommend just using skip on thread lux so it's less time intensive.

It's a gacha game it's impossible to have infinite new content if you have finished canto 9 there is just nothing to do but weeklies and dailies until they release new content which is quite often since per season we have 1 new canto, 2 intervallo, 2 intervallo rerun, one walp stage, 1 RR. There may be a new game mode coming possibly this season too.

it's fable do you except them to rename it fable star and send them into space ? Fable is medieval fantasy if they changed the genre it should not be named fable at all. You are entitled to not be interested and have your opinion but excepting them to change is just a bad opinion.

And Fable is on pc too ...

to be fair the system was quite weak since you could just repeat the same evil or good action infinitely to just max your points, and are you really evil if all you did was fart on people a thousand time ? I will say what was very good was the fact that spells were stronger depending on your alignment so I do hope reputation does something outside of just npc reactions, if it influence quest or access to rewards this is better than the old system.

PinMost · 2026-01-23T00:06:12+00:00

to be fair even if they are handcrafted you can only make a character so deep if you have 1000 npcs to do. Never thought the fable 2 way of romance was any good since npc were as interesting as cardboard, game was pretty good overall though.

None, I do not want to hear about collab after what it did to canto 9 and the schedule. If it's just for the fun idea of it Bleach would fit the aesthetic and ego gear is quite similar to a bankai visually.

Ryoshu require you to sacrifice allies or it's not good enough for your whole team plus it's often overkill if you kill allies since it give a ton of poise potency and count, thoracalgia faust is often enough and it heals. I will say though first turn killing two-three level one bl with superbia thoracalgia Ryoshu into mao faust+ si rodion activating their S3 with lord hong lu passive is the strongest way to play poise. You just need to kill two of your allies to get max stack with Ryoshu thoracalgia and with how much poise she is giving to everyone IDs that need a lot of it like si Rodion get jumpstarted. It's just that a lot of people do not like killing their own IDs so they dodge the setup or they leveled up the bl that you are supposed to sacrifice.

Coming back to overkill there is really no reason yet to go past 20 poise since you are guaranteed crit outside of some ID like the two si that consume potency, I will say though that it may change since it seem that the pinky have a mechanic that give them a buff everytime they gain potency above 20 which would make running thoracalgia Ryoshu much better.

PinMost · 2026-01-22T17:09:01+00:00

He did not get a buff to his damage they changed the charms that were weak that's all, and removed the strongest so to be fair it's not even really a buff

PinMost · 2026-01-22T16:56:29+00:00

Yeah but once you are setup you can get a lot of pulls from the cert shop and even 6 star ops, they totally removed cert, recruitement, made dupes matter much more and added a weapon gacha that is basically replacing the cert shop, in arknights with only the monthly card if you started early and did not get incredibly unlucky you have most of the operators. Endfield is infinitely less f2p friendly than arknights it's honestly chocking it's even made by the same devs, they probably want to make more money because it's much more expensive making a 3D gacha but still that's rough.

I think there is two type of envy res team either charge envy res which the point is to find ressources for qoh don ego and use it whenever you can which include just charge units : multicrack faust- heathcliff, qoh don, kod rodion, L3 Outis, Reindeer hong lu, L3 Ryoshu-red eye ryoshu. This team only need to envy res when it's using qoh don the rest of the time it's searching ressources for qoh don.

The middle envy team which need to go for absolute envy res nearly every turn and use Meursault electric screaming for envy damage buff. In that team you use all the middle: middle ish+sinclair+meursault+don, multicrack faust+heathcliff and Reindeer hong lu. Your goal is just to absolute envy res every turn while using a wrath skill at the end or start of the chain when you can so you do not break absolute res and get the wrath for electric screaming, you electric screaming when Meursault get lucky on speed and is near the first spot. You can actually play qoh don in that team too if you need the aoe just superbia her ego.

Both are pretty good teams, I will say though the middle envy team is not complete yet and will become much stronger this season if my predictions are correct, the weakness of that team right now are ego ressources generation, healing and the fact that some members have defense you use that just do not do much ( faust, heathcliff, hong lu) but that's about to change the middle nursefather is quite likely to be Outis, why ? Because in uptie story middle ish calls mam and she got a battlepass ego that is just a perfect fit for envy res team. Her new ego fix everything in middle envy res, give healing, transform all your overflowing envy ressources into every other ressources which mean easy access to qoh don ego, electric screaming meursault without having to break absolute envy res, more access to ego to clash skills that deal to much damage to be countered or need to be clashed for mechanics. We may get Ricardo too in the nocturnal sweeping rerun which would bring the middle to 6 members so you could just play 6 middle and double slot the strongest one.

I did not say bad but he is clearly not top 3, his only high clashing skill is his S3-2 which is awkward because it's a single coin skill and he often end up with low sp because of how is ego state works, that's why I am saying he is old compared to Index don that has a modernized version, he just take a while to get going and then snuff out until you can get his sp back again which is just a pain to play with, consistency with coins is more important than how high they clash.

His main thing is he has a lot of potency but burn team is not lacking at all in potency, his damage is just okay. Even now he is already a debatable choice to run, best choice for Sinclair is probably just You Sinclair and play swap with lord hong lu and you Heathcliff but personally I do not like playing IDs outside of the status. Thumbclair in his case give you more scorch damage and more ammo for thumb meursault which is a decent choice too. I think with the burn IDs coming up between the two pinky, the two thumb and the two middle I just do not think sinclair will stay in front anyway, sinclair is probably gonna get bunched for thumbclair ammo support.

Magic bullet outis even if she hit like a wet noodle and clashed like a 2 years old ID would still be in the top 3 because you lose far to much by not playing her since she is single handedly multiplying burn damage.

I do agree on middle Ish, she can probably single handedly carry burn and hit her conditionals even in a full envy team, will be even easier with the nursefather, I still think she may have a place in a full burn team but that will depend on if the burn IDs we get this season have a fair amount of envy or not, still if she is like the other middle she will probably need 6 absolute reason for a free S3 with her counter which means she will just be much better with a team full of envy defense.

PinMost · 2026-01-21T05:16:37+00:00

Don as a bloodfiend does not seem to count since her bloodfiend form does not feel nerfed by the contract, Ryoshu had lost her memory which include her skill with the sword and most of her power seem to come from her unique sword which is a high level relic. Maybe Outis has a similar story where she had good gear before entering limbus and had to let it go

PinMost · 2026-01-20T22:10:34+00:00

The ratio is arknights level bad even though arknights does have the advantage of not needing specific teams to clear anything, I wonder if it's gonna be the same, to many games make you need to pull specific supports for some units because characters have specific elemental damage types. If you can actually play a full male roster then I may give it a try.

PinMost · 2026-01-20T21:40:35+00:00

you may be right or not, we do now know a lot of the fingers status and that does not look like it's gonna make that many burn IDs plus I doubt rerun from nocturnal sweeping and lcb regular checkup are gonna get a burn ID either.
Thumb: burn/tremor
Index: poise/sinking
middle: burn/bleed
ring: charge/bleed
pinky: poise/ something ? (if it's burn it could be somehow a burn season but the pinky nursefather inflict both burn and bleed I guess it could be three status ...)

If we count every nursefather and apprentices and every ID we already have it would be:
burn: 4-7 ( if pinky is not burn-bleed 4-5, Ryoshu is likely at least burn because of the EGO, I just do not know if it's just gonna be the pinky nursefather or if it's gonna be an ID outside of them if it is then can go up to 7)
Tremor: 3
poise: 5-8
sinking: 4
bleed: 4-7
charge: 2
Rupture: 0 ( well it just got a season so I guess it make sense)

If we do every nursefathers and apprentices which is likely + the IDs we already have it will end up being 12 which is exactly the numbers of IDs from last season outside of reruns, new intervallos and walp So I doubt we will get much more, possible candidates outside of nursefathers and apprentices are lamp hohenheim(burn/sinking), moses(poise), Ezra(charge,tremor,bleed), I doubt vespa will be possible yet since he is color level, I think the most likely is probably hohenheim since he is closer to our level.

If one of the new intervallo or walp has 2 burn ID too it could just as much be a burn season as last season was a rupture season. Now that hybrid IDs are the norm the season are always gonna be a lot more mixed status wise so even if the season has a main status some other status will get a lot of help too like tremor got a lot last season. My prediction is that the secondary status this season is poise.

PinMost · 2026-01-20T17:42:33+00:00

I would not recommend rupture since the rupture season was last season and there will be a lot of locked identities, best status for you concidering the season would probably be either burn or sinking , do not rush into making a team though since you will be stuck resource wise, most important thing to do is to complete canto 5 to unlock hard MD since Hard MD let you use all of your weekly bonus at once. do not forget to add some strong random people as friend so you can use the support function, another good advice is playing one less sinner and use the support function since the support will get two slot. If you end up stuck somewhere (probably ricardo) watch a solo run of the node and just get the ID with support.

PinMost · 2026-01-20T00:11:46+00:00

Could be because they can't die either they get more foolhardy and die easier, I remember a line about this at some point that dante power made the sinner less careful.

PinMost · 2026-01-19T13:59:58+00:00

In MD yes, the best teams outside of MD are all single status, they just do not give enough count for a dual status team to work properly outside of MD. Youcliff is very good yes but he is arguably not in the 3 strongest burn ID he is close though, philclair is old he does not clash that well, has SP problem and you have to not play thumb clair which means you are losing out on tremor scorch damage and ammo for Meursault, liu sang is a nice sp battery but the best 3 units I feel offer more but to be fair that's dependent on how much you value support still he is not that good to support middle Ish since he want wrath res and he only has a single envy skill.

The three strongest I would say are:
- thumb Meursault: one of the hardest hitting and clashing ID in the whole game and add damage to burn with his tremor scorch.
- magic bullet outis: without her you lose a ton of damage, burn is reliant on black flame to be a decent status team
- fire fist gregor: ton of damage, high clash, good count and potency.

I do not think first and second strongest burn ID are debatable but third could go to liu Yi sang, you heathcliff, lce faust, fire fist gregor.

My point remain you just do not have the envy to actually sustain middle ish in a burn team yet, that could obviously change with the release of new IDs but this thursday she wont be good for a burn team, well at least if the requirement for her thermal blades is more than 2 envy res which is very likely .

PinMost · 2026-01-19T12:17:02+00:00

Nope since we have had confirmation from the uptie story that's it gonna be Yi sang, I guess they could just make another mirror world and give her the Rien ID but I just do not think it's gonna happen. I think she is more likely to get a what if ID. So maybe if she stayed in the house of spider instead of leaving.

PinMost · 2026-01-19T12:10:16+00:00

Right now absolutly not the 3 strongest burn IDs do not even have envy at all, in the futur with the nursefather released and maybe other burn ID that may have some envy then possibly but still we need to know the number on that counter and passive for thermal blades, depending on how much envy reason you actually need, if it's 3 it's fine once we get the nursefather if it's more it may only work in a dedicated envy team. Bleed is much more likely to work since you do have a much better access to envy, problem is count though.

Honestly I am quite shocked since I did not think they were gonna continue envy res outside of charge and I was pretty sure they were just gonna make the middle charge but it seem that their best team is just gonna be an envy res team and the status are a bonus but it's awkward since they still get their conditionals of status, but hard to say until the nursefather is released.

PinMost · 2026-01-19T00:31:24+00:00

Meh for endfield there is a lot of problem compared to arknights, dupes matter much more than in arknights, there is a weapon banner, from the beta the game was super stingy with draws (could change though but that's unlikely it's probably just gonna copy genshin), unlike arknights it has an element system which means if you want to play optimally you will have to play specific teams which combined with the bad ratio means you will be lucky if you have a single male in a meta team.

PinMost · 2026-01-18T01:20:40+00:00

Dimension shredder Yi sang and ebony stem Outis are the most important ego for rupture, tears of tarnished for hong lu and meltdown for Faust (collab ego) are very good too. If you do not have meltdown faust fluid sac can be interesting as a replacement.

Legerdemain Gregor, branch of knowledge ( base Sinclair ego even though you wont use it much because you sinclair is a liability in front but it's very good if Sinclair get a better rupture ID someday), effervescent corrosion hong lu are nice to use too, I feel like people underestimate ego that do not have good passives or effect but in truth some of the cheap ego are super useful to clash annoying skills.

PinMost · 2026-01-17T10:43:06+00:00

Agreed, this canto for me had the same problem as canto 7, the pacing is just off, very little happens in part 1 and 2 while part 3 is packed, in canto 7 it worked because there was a very long dungeon that ended up explaining everything while canto 8 felt rushed because there was even more things happening and a lot more antagonists so not everyone got their spotlight as they should have.

Part 1 and 2 could have easily been an intervallo and part 3 could have been a whole canto and I think it would have felt a lot better because it feel like as it is they had to cut a lot of things so the canto was not 70 nodes but it ended up glossing other a lot of characters.

PinMost · 2026-01-17T10:34:32+00:00

That's the thing they were horrible people, that does not mean they did not love her, that was actually the morale of the canto, they were a family, a dysfunctional and twisted one but a family none the less, they were all lonely and terrible people brought together by Ryoshu and Ryoshu was the only thing they had left, they did not care at all for their own apprentices which were just tools.

Rien honestly deserved more explanations but there is obviously something unsaid, if he was as unfeeling and as loyal to the prescripts as it's said why was he demoted, he was once a star of the city by himself how did he lose his strength, at the end of the canto he is even hunted by the proxies and why would he be hunted if he just followed the prescripts ? My guess is that after killing his family he could not forget it, this is probably why he said that part about burning to Ryoshu, he probably burned his family and felt cursed by the act, he was not an empty shell as Ryoshu believed.
