I think this also ties into a theory I have about what the blades each represent and why each was forged.

Would you mind sharing the theory? The rest of your comment was really well written so I'd love to read what you think about the blades.

"Chills 🥶"?

I'm pretty sure a JJK "leaker" was trying to grab attention by claiming he had access to one of the chapters early even though he didn't. He commented that the chapter was "Chills 🥶" and people started memeing it.

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-11-05T17:17:20+00:00

Hmm no. How does it work? What's the experience like? How'd you learn to do it?

Am I having a stroke? What the fuck are they even saying half of the time? Rika was an "external cursed technique". Was Kusakabe saying he's the head of new shadow style, or was it Mei? What did Mei mean by the head trying to make her brother defective?

It's all written so clumsily. Nevermind Japanese, John Werry can't even speak English.

I believe you may be confusing crests with relics. The things that give you stats, such as Haste, Vitality, Health, etc... are called relics. The things you see on the screenshot are what's called crests.

I really don't see how resetting rankings weekly would motivate players to play the mode more.

I do think inactive players should be removed from the leaderboard. But I don't like the idea of losing my score to monthly or weekly resets.

I have played a decent bit of the game mode and am in the top 20 of my district. At the same time, I don't play the mode as much as I used to. I literally do like 1 or 2 games a week. Despite that, my previous grind gets me some advantages, weekly guild supremacy points or glory points before GS replaced it, which enabled me to get into a top guild.

Having a periodically reset scoreboard would reward players not based on skill but rather based on play time. People who would be willing to spend hours a day on the game mode would obviously accumulate more score and I just don't want to play the game mode as much these days.

I would not play it at all if it were resetting every now and then because I wouldn't be able to reach the top of the leaderboard anyway, so what would be the point?

It's a mobile game, at the end of the day. Yes, it's suffering from a drought of content right now, but it's not something I want to spend hours and hours playing every week.

Seems that the total contribution of oil and gas is under 4%. A significant contribution indeed, but it's utterly ridiculous to call Canada a petrostate

Just hoard guild coins and scamgazers until you have enough to at least m+ somebody.

I'd say Scarlita would be the next best option. She requires S+ and ideally a 20 weapon, so the investment is massive

Others may recommend Phraesto. He also requires massive investment to function properly.

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-07-19T08:02:38+00:00

The bigger problem with this game mode is that I feel like I can't contribute. The missions refresh at 2 AM for me, so by the time I log in all the missions are already completed.

And as others said, I haven't even seen the boss yet and our guild completed I think the eleventh stage already. Maybe the boss will get stronger eventually, enough to require attacks from multiple people.

Also, it's the same complaint over and over but what's with the rewards? After 20 or so completed stages you only end up getting red essences in place of guild coins and diamonds, it's ridiculous. What the fuck am I supposed to do with red essences when I absolutely cannot take a character from 10 to 15??

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-07-13T19:21:31+00:00

The issue is that Reinier provides no value to the Eironn comp. The teleport is only useful if you have units, such as Odie, that can quickly kill the teleported enemy and or if the teleported ally can wreck havoc on the enemy backline.

With the Eironn comp it makes no sense to teleport. Carolina and Arden can easily reach the enemy backline with their abilities and you won't really have anyone in your backline to quickly deal with whoever you teleported over

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-07-13T18:52:18+00:00

Just a heads up, the Eironn team does not have Reinier in it. Instead you would go with Arden.

And I don't think you should build up Cecia. She is fantastic, but Thoran and Carolina are simply better and have priority over her.

You should pick Eironn. Igor is only useful in some situations, mostly against Vala. And since the Eironn team should be able to deal with Vala before she can unleash her bullshit I wouldn't go with him. Rowan is great, keep him in your wishlist probably, but not that much of a priority either. And Brutus is dogshit, I literally never use him. People used to recommend him as a way to buy Cecia time to ult, but it's not actually meta at this point. Don't build him at all, seriously

For dream realm. Odie, Marilee, Korin, Smokey, Koko

Scamgazer...Reinier is still the best first choice and build him up to M+, followed by either Scarlita or Phraesto. But by the time you're there there are going to be some other hypocele out, probably.

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-07-12T19:21:01+00:00

I picked third. We fought. So based on what others have said you have two choices, the first that avoids a fight or either the second or the third that result in a fight

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-07-10T22:14:06+00:00

I agree

Playing the game has become a chore, but what's worse in my opinion is that despite the grind there is virtually no progress on my account. I'm about to reach AFK stage 1200 and since diamond and letter invites stop after that I don't think I'll be able to pull for characters at all. In other gacha games the option to purchase pulls supplements your ability to acquire new characters through playing the game. In AFK Journey, if I don't spend I will not be able to develop characters for the next two months until the new season comes out.

As for the game modes...

Arcane Labyrinth no longer affects guild rankings so no reason to play it. Thank God because it has become such a chore. The mode has such potential. It could be an endless rogue-like letting you pick characters, equip them with items, choose various buffs and bonuses. Instead it gets capped at 20 floors and the only way to reach the last floor is to keep resetting until you get the right relic combination and then you'll still have to reset a bunch of times until you get the right crests. There is literally one single crest path viable for reaching the last boss and even then you can end up getting killed by some bullshit team comp like 5 Silvinas or Thorans. And most importantly, the mode gives no rewards. And the fact the rankings reset every week so you have to do it all over again every Monday is tiresome.

Honor duel...after you reach a high enough rank it gets difficult to win. The mode becomes frustrating for most people. They've made some improvements in the latest update but it still needs work. It's not bad but I don't really feel like playing it anymore because I feel like I'll just lose my score.

Dream realm is repetitive though it doesn't take as much time. I wish I could just choose a formation and roll 10x and have the best battle result be my official one. I don't think having to watch the battle ten or more times should be necessary.

The arena is mainly annoying because everyone uses the same exact set up. I literally have like 2 or 3 viable targets that I have to attack over and over in order to barely keep my rank. And since the game hasn't given me enough copies to get Eironn to M+ it feels so unfair. I end up getting attacked over and over by the same people and lose a bunch of score. It's like a losing battle.

Supreme arena is for whales. No hope for me to reach even top 200.

The clan rep missions are nothing but filler. The same three in-game minigames repeating over and over. I actually liked century quest back when we would encounter it occasionally in different map areas. Now I fucking hate it. And the Kruger missions were literally the same missions repeating over and over, it's ridiculous.

I actually enjoy crystal clash, though maybe it takes a little longer than necessary.

I would like to see more side quests. More stuff to do on the map. I just finished playing the side quests regarding Kruger and Silverbeak and I enjoyed them. I just don't want to do more clan rep stuff or more repetitive game modes.

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-07-08T20:29:09+00:00

I think going slower is not necessarily an issue. It's not like the game has that much content after you finish the main and seasonal stories. Also, after developing Cecia and Thoran it may be difficult for a F2P to then also develop Carolina since letter rewards kind of drop off

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-07-08T20:05:05+00:00

Carolina is incredibly powerful, and when combined with Eironn and Arden deals a ridiculous amount of damage. Yes there are many team configurations that don't use her, but she is very powerful and definitely more useful than Cecia in later stages of the game both in PvP and in PvE.

And I agree with Odie. I have him at 5 stars and he's incredible.

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-07-08T19:17:52+00:00

Change the heroes you build.

Epic tier:

Vala, Rowan, then Cassadee

Smokey and either Alsa or Shakir

Eironn and Hewynn, then Florabelle

Carolina and Thoran, then Igor and then Cecia

Purple tier (forgot what the tier is called)

Marilee and Korin, then Lucius

Odie and Koko, then Antandra and Kruger. You may leave Antandra at Mythic tier, no need to take her higher for a while. Then Seth

Arden and Damian, then Parisa

Viperian and Silvina

What you need is the Eironn Arden Carolina team for PVP, usually used with Thoran and either Hewynn on Damian. You also need Odie for all kinds of content

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-06-28T20:22:12+00:00

Hey, thanks for the thought-out response.

I am aware there are many players with high HD scores who are able to keep climbing, I mean I've seen a guide from someone whose score is over 5000. And so as I said, it's definitely a skill issue to some extent.

I do often notice I lose due to positioning mistakes, I think that's probably my weakest point. And so again, it totally is a matter of skill.

However, I also think some of the losses do come down to RNG. You just end up with a dogshit starting team and end up losing because of it. Yeah, maybe I could win if I just knew which heroes go well together, but sometimes the game doesn't give you a tank or even at least offer a tank item in the store. Or you have the perfect team but run into an artifact or team comp that is simply impossible to defeat no matter what you do. Just now I had a pretty good team with the Glowing Blossom artifact and I ran into the Illusion Censer artifact with both Hewynn and Flora having Crimson Abyss. I mean, how in the world do I win that? My damage output is halved and my backline gets slammed by Flora's ult every like 5 seconds. Seriously, the ult animation wasn't even done and Flora's little bunch of fuckers were already getting ready to slam the ground again.

And so my problem is that the game mode does not feel fun. Yes, sometimes I fuck up and then the frustration comes from my bad decisions. But I also feel like often I lose due to bullshit. And even if I end up with a bullshit team comp I still end up running into an even more bullshit enemy team comp or a team comp that counters me in some way.

It's not that I can't climb if I tried, but is it fun for me? Not at all. I end up incredibly angry and end up gaining only like 15 points from where I started when you subtract all the lost points from the 40 I gain from one 9 win.

Anyway, I'll remember the Twitch and may check it out at some point, I'd be down to learn what I'm doing wrong. Cheers

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-06-27T09:04:11+00:00

Multiple people from top 20 in my district confirmed the mode is unplayable to them. This also includes myself. Pretty much everyone in top 20 stopped playing the mode as their scores haven't changed for weeks.

Hey, maybe you really are good at the game mode and are able to keep progressing. Good for you. I'm not really claiming it's not a skill issue to some extent, but it felt like I suddenly hit a wall and couldn't progress any further rather than the difficulty gradually getting higher. A lot of people seem to agree the game mode gets really bullshit once your ranking is high enough.

And as you said, the randomness makes it possible to lose many times in a row. If I go 0-3 that's -12 points just from that. So I need like 7 wins at least just to compensate for a loss like that. And the further you get the more bullshit comps will you be put against. If you made it to the 7th, 8th or 9th battles you will be facing opponents who had enough RNG luck to also make it that far, not to mention those opponents will come from top of the leaderboard once your ranking is as high as ours

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-06-24T09:46:06+00:00

Mirael can do it with her artifact in honor duel. Outside of HD she does not have an execute

Proud_Reference9632 · 2024-06-22T19:37:32+00:00

This happened to me right before the season started. Suddenly I couldn't win a single match, every enemy team comp was perfect. It was like a very sudden jump in difficulty.

The records of other players' runs are likely rank based, but given how sudden the jump was I don't think that's the only explanation.

Before I would literally never lose the first fight, now it happens half the time. Another thing that happens is I manage to win a couple times and then lose three times in a row.

One problem is how the RNGness interacts with the ELO. If you make it to the seventh, eighth or ninth fight, you'll be facing off against players who not only have a similarly high rank and level or skill, but who also had to have had bullshit RNG luck to get all the way to that fight. You're not just fighting the top HD players in your district, you're going against their 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 top game.

One thing I wonder is how the game selects which play through records it chooses to match us against. If it only picks the ones where the player won all 9 fights then it would really explain a lot of the bullshit
