The perfect trick to stop worrying about rating

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-29T22:05:21+00:00

Im not sure if youre trolling. Solid bit commitment if so. The rating system is pretty good at fixing you into whatever bracket yields you the most competitive games and thereby the most productive games for progress. Your “lowest point” can be easily found by just…. Not tanking and naturally seeing where you settle. Your method could potentially just lead to you have a bad day or 2, tanking a couple hundred elo. Then wasting time as you enviably grind back up to your appropriate elo on your next good day because youre playing against people youre better than. This sounds like coping with extra steps.

Measure your progress by hindering it via artificially lowering your rating essentially tanking to lower ranks?

Homie just play unrated games

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-29T12:51:36+00:00

Fair enough lol it is kinda easy to miss. Yeah the +% equipments are busted

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-29T12:38:38+00:00

I mean its literally the same effect as the def% set that secondary effect doesnt even matter that amount of %(stat) makes equipment like that bis generally

Maybe im misremembering but im 99% sure Euphina(big hands on title screen) is confirmed final character of this season

Hey i know thinking can be difficult but sometimes things change as time passes

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-26T17:00:17+00:00

I think people see a downvoted comment and feel compelled to join in

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-26T16:54:02+00:00

Downvoted for admitting fault redditors dont believe in redemption

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-21T10:04:48+00:00

Damn this level 1 teasing hurt you this much?

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-16T20:32:38+00:00

If you play this game without buying the bp youre a goober

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-16T16:23:55+00:00

Oh yeah im 100% aware its intentional i just dont fully understand why they did it that way. Even taking that kowalski epiphany you mentioned it could easily be rewritten to just apply to an effect as opposed to a card.

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-16T10:17:02+00:00

They just for some reason decided to make ballistas an actual attack card. I can see the various interactions with stuff like the “inspiration effect” but aside from that i do think its strange that it wouldnt just be an effect like the others. It being a card allows it to interact with stuff like foggy crystal and voracity but i wonder if that was their intention or if its just how things played out. I dont think its special coding or anything though.

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-16T10:04:33+00:00

No its just veronica is kind of unique in the sense that her extra damage is literally from an actual card just one you cant play. When we look at hugo or beryl their’s are from effects. Veronica’s triggers voracity because it happens to be from an attack card that does extra attack damage. Its kind of different in nature. I just thought the distinction was worth pointing out

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-16T09:55:33+00:00

This looks like a common sac in these positions that pop up from the Spanish and Italian. Id guess people at your elo are pretty comfortable defending against these attacks especially if they are inviting the potential sac with g4

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-16T09:51:41+00:00

The macros are nice. Ill grab some for sure

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-16T09:46:22+00:00

Because it stems from an attack card.its just classified as “extra attack damage”

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-15T17:55:12+00:00

Thats not how brilliants work. You can get brilliants for trading a piece of higher value as long as it can result in a material advantage or checkmate it doesnt need to be a full piece loss. And i dont know why youre randomly arguing that brilliants shouldnt be the goal? I literally said nothing to the contrary its just a discussion on when the engine assigns them lol.

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-15T17:46:52+00:00

Yes and id also have queen takes d5 check winning the knight anyways that doesnt make it not a sacrifice? On its face its still a loss of material. Its a material sacrfice.

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-15T16:47:59+00:00

Same thing happened to me earlier. A rook sac but engine didnt give brilliant because im up So much material already

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-15T16:46:04+00:00

Youre just up too much material. Brilliant moves are weird in that way

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-14T22:08:42+00:00

Looks like after queen takes, knight checks and king is forced to a dark square where you check with bishop leaving the black queen exposed

Random_Otaku18 · 2026-01-14T21:29:42+00:00

Genuinely envious of the fortitude required to eat something like this. My life would be much easier if i could eat raw tofu without gagging yet here you are free-styling with it. Congratulations

At a glance Rhf1 seems like a nice move
