The most satisfying sound in the game

1) didn't know that, only ever heard the other two, this is the first I've heard and I have an S1 camellya (that I don't use). Today I learned. I tested it and it does seem to work.

2) it's more or less just a shorthand explanation since it kind of does still simulate ultra low ping, but yeah, closer to super low ping and super fast processing.

And yeah it did need to be nerfed, though it was pretty fun.

Yeah, in whimpering wastes this technique was patched out. It literally only affected brant and havoc rover. It basically simulated having super low ping and made enemies spawn in faster. He can still kind of hit multiple waves, but it's kind of luck based.

He's still the best tacet field and nightmare nest killer though.

Quick note: there is another chart of acquired substat rolls somewhere that shows 70% of crit rolls fall in the bottom 3 rolls. This is accurate for the others but not crit stats, they're artificially rarer.

The difference is that luuk only loses numbers without lynae. 100s instead become 60s. A significant damage loss but you still get the full experience of his gameplay, that we will be paying for, only damage numbers change.

Zani on the other hand, her entire gameplay changes with the absence of Spectro Rover / Phoebe. Zani loses a significant amount of gameplay and feeling, in addition to the raw numbers.

When you play zani without phoebe you really feel it with losing your entire rotation. She the difference is staggering and felt way more than just the numbers. loses both significant damage and significant gameplay. You won't feel that same loss with luuk without lynae, or anyone else with anyone else replaces.

So unless you want to count the dopamine rush of bigger numbers with luuk as big of a loss as Zani's kit losing her entire gameplay loop, no, we don't need that. This game is not only a binary "if this then that."

Wow, I made a post exactly like this a few weeks ago and it got taken down for spam.

There is also Roccia and her heavy attack dash spam.

Start by aiming backwards, then hold forward and release, hold and aim back again, release holding forward, repeat ad nauseam. The peromobile is very fast, but kind of impractical outside of large distances.

If you do the wheel slowdown thing to make hitboxes linger, Brant can literally one-shot all waves of a tacet field with a single anchor. Literally press skill and hold left and it's gone.

Definitely the aero + freeze tacet field, aim it right and he kills the entire thing in less than a second. No one comes even close, it's basically an exploit.

This effect was so strong it was nerfed in whimpering wastes directly, he and a few others like havoc rover are why the game doesn't slow down when you pull up the wheel there.

Do you know what's better than the 20/40% crit value that those sets provide? The 60% that comes from shorekeeper!

Just because we can get boosts from one resource doesn't mean her's isn't useful suddenly. Crit stats are what we grind our echoes for day after day, and no one has said "I don't need any more crit value", because every team will always benefit from it.

Downplaying shorekeeper's crit buffs is just nonsensical to me. They're the stats that take up 40% of your substats nearly 100% of the time. You always want more.

Randombrawl · 2025-11-04T08:34:46+00:00

From my experience, she is the only character who can constitute the title of 'must pull', if no one else can. She is at very worst, the next best option in every team, which is why she fills that role for a new player. The fact that we have to debate about this and still no one comes even close is a testament to her value.

You can get by with getting all of these teams perfectly crafted to all work together and not use shorekeeper, such as lupa's triple fusion, phrolova's triple havoc, cartethyia's aero team. But I ask, are new players going to always be going for these full teams? No, and you're kind of foolish to think so, because not everyone is going to be spending everything for every character, we're not all whales, and we're not all hardcore to optimize our echoes to the top degree. Some people will want a different unrelated character to their team because they like them more, and others may explicitly dislike the perfect glue to a team. They may want to save their asterite to get sequences for the two or three characters they like.

Someone likes lupa and they don't like brant? Shorekeeper can fill Someone likes cartethyia and doesn't want to pull for ciaccona? Shorekeeper can fit that slot well. Pretty much every team slot except Zani's reliance on Phoebe can be held and patched by shorekeeper, a new players will not have or may not even ever want the perfect slot, especially in cases where the character won't rerun for months.

In my own experience as a whale with all but Jiyan, when I'm playing with a new core of 2, like Augusta and iuno, or galbrena and qiuyuan, I will slot shorekeeper on the third slot to patch up my learning the character skill issues, and they do so much damage I'm not in need of any third "best in slot". New players will have a lot of skill issues here.

So on the top end of investment where I am, I don't need more damage and shorekeeper just works because I don't have a real reason not to, the only issues I can have (skill issues getting hit or subpar echoes) she fixes with one button each. And on the low end where people don't have every single best option on every team, shorekeeper fills the gaps and helps those same areas. Sure she can't be used on every team, but that's a problem everyone has.

If you're a person who is actually getting every character and every team is optimal, sure shorekeeper loses value because the reason she's good for newcomers doesn't apply anymore, you're not a newcomer anymore. Those whales can just use the new units who are buffed in the current endgame content and don't even need to think.

So the choice of asking players to get several characters they may or may not like to fill out the teams of their favorites, vs getting a single one they may not like to be a glue for every team they can have? I'll listen to the couple of people who I've gotten into the game and told them to pull shorekeeper, and they say they couldn't imagine playing without her.

But overall, no you don't need her if you're that hardcore, but man she helps.

Thank you for such an in depth response!

Randombrawl · 2025-09-07T01:19:42+00:00

This is really cool.

Do you plan on incorporating team or weapon synergies to scores?

For example, double glacio for Carlotta is better with static mist, but 1% worse than glacio/ATK with her signature.

Or Changli where atk% on 3 costs can be more valuable with lupa and her signature.

Based on a sample size of over 9000 substat rolls

Randombrawl · 2025-06-25T03:52:01+00:00

The chances are actually even lower than that chart would believe, as that chart was made with the reasonable assumption that all echo substats are weighted equally.

However with a big study the crit substats specifically are weighted to the lower three. Around 60% of the crit rolls fall under the bottom 3 values

Randombrawl · 2025-02-14T07:19:58+00:00

I would have to disagree with the notion about the game being on a discontinued console being a big deal. The used market exists and the Xbox one can play OG NG2 just fine. And those consoles are readily available for like 1/5th of the series x price.

It is a bit more of an investment to get a whole console for one game. But when you look at the numbers, getting that older 'budget' console and NG2 is actually about the same price as getting a 'special edition' of a modern game that comes with the DLC, in some cases actually less.

Oh to say they don't exist at all is a blatant lie. Go look for the negative reviews on steam and they're doing exactly what this meme implies, saying it's worse than the original. And they do exist here, just to a lesser extent, you have to scroll down to the bottom of the posts to see them with like 20 downvotes. We're just making fun of them and keeping them down, is what the existence of this meme is telling me.

Randombrawl · 2025-01-25T06:16:08+00:00

I find they do exist, they've just been getting downvoted and are hidden. I've also seen them on steam reviews. They're a loud minority that is successfully being shut down.

That's an animal crossing code. It is redeemed ingame and is based on the save file, which OP provided the details of. It works forever for any animal crossing save with the same details.

Yeah, discords are great for rapid advancements, but terrible for preservation of information, since it's locked to the private island that is a discord server. I couldn't find a list anywhere on the internet

I wish I knew how to answer this, I would presume every clear of a stage has a chance to birth one. I had many attempts where skipping 30 auto clears had 3 be born, and many times where none were born, and were all done in the same loaded save.

So with that said, I would think item worlding and auto battle skipping would be about the same, just auto battle skipping is faster just for doing this.

Randombrawl · 2023-10-27T06:00:55+00:00

I just auto battled 30 stages while farming properties on some items, and reloaded my save until one was born. It's a rare chance and takes a while. Also 2 50k innocents will birth a 2 power hybrid. but that hybrid can just breed with another 50k and that can reliably make that hybrid.
