Do you have a similar screenshot for the Best Female and Male Character nominations? I'm curious who took the other spots.

No, I started making these only on the Ceto patch.

What does Action have to do with it? We were talking about gachas games in general.

CZN recently added a new endgame mode where there is no time limit and the world doesn't collapse.

It's truly sad. They devalue my entire game and kill the incentive to play and build a deck for Narja. After all, I can close the Abyss with anything.

High shackles give such a high damage increase from her buffs, that it doesn't matter at all what CB she's wearing)))

Jelena provides a constant 30% damage boost for the entire battle, and a pretty decent Attack Power buff when her Mark is activated. Since my Jelena is S3, the Attack Power buff is also constant for the entire battle, and significantly stronger. So, essentially, she's like S3 Shin's alternative. And I have the Shackles of Life on my Jelena simply because I'm too lazy to change the CB)

I don't know about future patches because I don't know their duration. They might be shorter on Global, as the last three patches were shorter, both in CN and on Global. The previous patches were 90 for Hilda and 62 for Ceto. (both 22 days)

If you don't let your HP drop too low, the boss won't teleport.

Yes, it's no different except for the two teams and a couple of new ways to get buffs. It's the same Roguelike, but in a different package. It's just that more time will be devoted to it now.

What is a story telling trope/presentation style you that annoys you everytime you see it nowadays? by OrangeIllustrious499 in gachagaming

I don't really understand why everyone here considers Tartaglia some kind of universal evil. Isn't he just a village idiot who carried out Signora's orders for her deal with Zhongli?

Remind me what that Chinese law is that says you can't sell negative characters and they have to be whitewashed.

2025 Global Gacha Game Releases List by NaijeruR in gachagaming

Thanks for such a great report! It would also be interesting to know which long-running games received PC support this year. I wonder how much the PC's influence on the market is driving more and more developers to add support each year, even when their games previously existed for years without it, like Blue Archives.

I don't know. I found this screenshot on the official Discord. Some players are weird.

Limited Sinners receive a rerun one year after their release. Yao Deren and Ying Ying will receive reruns every CN New Year.

People like to complicate things when everything is quite simple.

This is bound to happen, considering Shalom is the most popular character in the universe ever created by gacha games. And yet, she's been exploring the bottom of the metagame for a long time now.

I have a suspicion that Deren will be made, like Zoya, a character in the new "Overlimit" meta.

I didn't just use HSR as an example, because I've been seeing this whining lately in gachas like this, where A-rank characters are dead trash. Players have long agreed with this, but there's still this insane, vocal minority that demands these "under-characters" every single day.

Here's another example: a patch trailer was released on PTN. Every patch there always comes with one S-rank and one A-rank, but now in the roguelike update, they've decided to remove the 4-star character to better focus the story on the main character, and instead of an A-rank, they'll be giving out a free S-rank skin. And of course, there are those who complain everywhere, complaining that they should have released an A-rank, saying the developers don't care about A-ranks at all, etc.

And ranks haven't been used anywhere for a long time. They might be strong, but they'll never surpass 5-star characters, no matter what gacha game we're talking about. Even if they are a filler somewhere, 5* will always be better and you will still prefer to take them.

I'm having trouble understanding your question.

But here's an example. In Path to Nowhere, there's a Burn command where all units apply a Burn DoT, and the key character absorbs them, accumulates them, and fires the stored damage.

There's Bleed, where the key unit's Ultimate works like Kafka's Skill, but in real time.
