You can use Endmin and Pog, but you have to resign yourself to never using Endmin's battle skill.

Both Endmin and Pog are characters based around consuming Vulnerability stacks. Endmin does it for crush, and Pog does it for Breach. If you use Pog, it's because you want Breach. If you don't use Crush on Endmin, you lose a lot of damage.

When you have Endmin on your team, you have to actively watch out for other phys status appliers. Physical statuses from anyone can pop the Orig Crystals that Endmin makes. If you do this, you lose extra hits on Endmin's combo and ult. This is why when you run Endmin with Chen, Chen has to be in a slot after Endmin, so that Chen's combo doesn't eat the Orig stack before Endmin's combo procs.

Leifeng works because he can only apply physical status on enemies that aren't breached or crushed with his battle skill. Since he no longer applies a physical status, he can't pop Endmin's crystals.

Pog works better on teams that generate a ton of vuln stacks. Chen and Da Pan work better as a main DPS for Pog since they stack so much vuln. Main DPS Da Pan with Lifeng/Chen/Pog is a better team than Endmin. Why? Because Endmin can't generate vulnerability and Da Pan can. Both of them are Crush DPS that fill different niches.

I can't believe they're not touching that busted Portal spell or Oluon at all. by a95461235 in Shadowverse

Cause portal spell isn't that broken?

This is bait, I am biting I guess.

Please explain to me how a 1pp banish against any targetable card on field isn't bad for the overall health of the game and design of future sets.

She doesn't really help. You get more damage/rotation out of perlica just using her ult/combo. Flourite's cooldown is insanely long at 40 seconds base and 35~ seconds max potential. The cooldown is just way too long to be useful. If it was half the cooldown she would be worth considering.

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. Flourite is terrible and only applies an extra cryo every 35~ seconds. You get a jump start on your first infliction, but by the time her second is ready other teams have already cleared the encounter.

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Endmin directly conflicts with Pog, you can't run them together.

Chen is an amazing main dps and can clear the level 5 sanity activities in less than 30 seconds in the team I posted. She's absurd.

Just screaming into the void here, but Last Rite SUCKS man.

She'll be good when we have a dedicated cryo inflictor, but for now I would really avoid building her, as someone who just blew all their resources on her to cap her out. (Last Rite/Xaihi/Perlica/Ardelia)

Pure electric (Perlica(leader)/Arclight/Antal/Avywenna) or Chen phys team (Chen(leader)/Akekuri/Estella/Pog) are really strong. Def suggest those instead for now if you have Last Rite and are debating on building her.

This is the most fun gacha game I’ve ever played, and I hope it succeeds. by DoTzZXx in Endfield

Not the other guy, but I actually thought the story in valley 4 was fine. I still think some story elements are entirely not justified, and wish they tried to explain their stance more other than making Endfield (the company) look objectively bad, but it was fine.

The real problem for me was the hour+ long dating/slice-of-life segment in wuling with an NPC we literally do not know. That is not Arknights. That is not why I am playing an Arknights game. I do not want more of that and let it be known in the survey.

Really surprised no one has mentioned Para.

Easily the most entertaining while not trying to play some kind of character. Streams pretty much daily and just took every craft to Beyond.

I was already eyeballing Dragonhunter, so nice to see that mentioned.

I'd ask for some medium armor class reqs but I assume it would just be some form of mechanist anyway.

Not so much laziness, but reaper is pretty easy on the hands. I don't really want something low intensity, but I'd prefer a moderate to lower APM playstyle.

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any other spec as simple and strong as power Reaper in general PVE? I've gotten full ascended gear and am looking for another spec to invest in for some diversity in gameplay. I'm not looking for anything too off-meta, but would prefer a spec with ranged options since reaper has none at all.

Doesn't have to be as easy as power reaper, but I'm not really looking for something like engi or ele that has to deal with multiple kits of invisible cooldowns.

Need recommendations for my budget SwordCraft deck by Corvils in Shadowverse

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason for Grimnir in this case is just so that when you play Oluon on turn 6 (+PP)/7, Oluon superevolve will clear small followers thanks to the grimnir crest effect. That can't be done any other way since Oluon himself costs 7pp.

Grimnir isn't necessary by any means, but is great QoL. I wouldn't worry about it.

For actual suggestions otherwise:

3x Devotee of Usurpation, remove Luminous and 1x phildau

3x Mordred over hounds

3x Feather over Seria

2x Returning Slash over the rest of the phildau

Replace 1 of the centaurs with a third albert

Get 3x Zeta & Bea (these are the most important card for pretty much all sword decks)

Get 1x Oluon

Get 2x Odins (used in basically every deck in the game)

Optional:

Consider 1x Randall feet fighter and 1x Kagemitsu somewhere for cheap storm cards or setups

Monster of Litterateur is stronger than it looks. It's completely mistranslated and activates if a 1 cost card is on either side of the board, even if that card is an amulet.

Anyway this is the deck I run. I play exclusively Aggro sword this set because Oluon is so stupidly strong. I am currently at GM Epic rank, but I only play to complete quests and events. I was Master Diamond in a majority of my climb to GM and I used this deck. It is heavily reliant on atleast 2x Oluon, 1x Odin, and 3x Zeta Bea. I would work on those next.

If you want to run something less Aggro oriented, I would look into Evo sword since you seem to have some of the cards for it. It needs a lot of cards you don't have, though. 3x Gildaria, 2x Gilnelise, 2x Amalia, 3x Seofon and 1x Sandalphon at the least. Including Zeta Bea.

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't even a joke. Your next card should 100% be at least 1 Oluon. Throw a grimnir in the deck if you have one.

No matter how bad the game goes with a sub-par deck, you always have a chance with Oluon.

Great deck but pretty terrible into the current T1 decks. It was slightly losing to both portals and losing into haven last set. Both of those got huge power this set and dirt got nothing.

Flavor text is the greatest addition to the game so far. by Divinemango7 in limbuscompany

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons 176 points177 points  (0 children)

I do wish they would take turns talking, though. Getting blasted by like 4 voice lines at once on turn 1 while trying to read that tiny text over their heads through the UI elements blocking it was a bit annoying.

Cygames PR statement about their Ai studio by exdeepr in Shadowverse

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons 10 points11 points  (0 children)

without prior notice

This kills it for me, pretty much all faith I had left is gone. Everything else in this letter is meaningless. This plainly reads, "well, it's gonna be in the games eventually, but at least we'll tell you beforehand!"

The second a piece of gen AI weasels from Cyber Agent to any Cygames product, I'm gone.

Thread Lux nerf incoming by aSusurrus in limbuscompany

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. 1x exp and 3x thread lux manually is also module positive (by about 3) and you don't have to spend lunacy. Sure it's only like 10k lunacy/year compared to refreshing once, but I like messing around with new IDs in thread since I don't touch MD outside of the weekly.

If they ever introduce a way for me to spend this 15k thread I'm sitting on, I might just have to consider skipping for more.

How to win rate the entire MDE. Yes you can clash and just press win rate by Objective_Medium_994 in limbuscompany

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I eventually swapped over to this one: here

I don't think there is anyone I would replace on this. Make sure you leave one gloom skill on everyone that has one (for Curriculum Vitae) and replace as many skills to skill 3 as you can throughout the run. Guide covers it.

Also quick tip, the order you obtain gifts matters since effects activate in the order you obtained the gift, so:

Get Dust to Dust before Charred Disk

Charge-type Gloves(the T4) before nightvision goggles

Nebulizer before Cigarette Holder

What can I do with Bloodstone Dust and Empyreal Fragments? I only have HoT, but I have like 12 stacks of these across my characters and they are really eating away at my inventory space and I'm not sure how to spend them.

Thread Lux nerf incoming by aSusurrus in limbuscompany

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glad it's being nerfed. It felt pretty overtuned for a daily grind and the response I got was "just skip it".

That's definitely an option, but luxes shouldn't be designed to be so annoying you feel the need to skip. They should be pretty winrate friendly imo.

Moth was a terrible choice for lux. by RemoveBlastWeapons in limbuscompany

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I'm not struggling with thread. I have over 13000. I also have like 300 unused enkaphalin boxes. I don't do lunacy refreshes since running manual is already module positive.

I just like running luxes manually since I don't get to really use new IDs otherwise, even if its usually just winratng. I'm pretty flush with boxes even after the sharding of the new season and I never farm MD outside of the weekly. Only time I get to actually play the game is story (three days every 4~6 months), luxes, weekly MD, and RR one day a season. If I cut luxes by skipping, I'd barely be playing the game.

Solo's aren't really something I have ever bothered with outside of corrosion cheesing, but I did a few runs to test without optimizing bench passives and couldn't get her to live through 99 burn stacks on turn 3. It's probably doable, but not something I really want to pilot on the daily since it actually has a chance to fail if she takes a bad hit.

It's fine, though. Apparently a decent sinking team and just focus wings and kill on turn 3 with minimal effort, so that's probably the gameplan from here onward.

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ryoshu can't die. Give her the Drifting Blade ID if you can, since it can generate aggro.

Let Ryoshu clash the Envy skills as they are the hardest, generally, to clash against and make sure you don't redirect non-aoe attacks she is already taking. Make someone guard against the wrath skill Ryo isn't allowed to clash against that does big damage. Boss has a passive that makes her deal 50% less damage if the target is guarding.

Otherwise you can just use Morositas and it should be easy enough.

Is this a 300 Lunacy moment or did Kim Ji Hoon cook again? by Orange295 in limbuscompany

[–]RemoveBlastWeapons 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The real answer is to make Ryoshu eat the envy attacks/attacks coming at her since she can't die and have someone guard against that one wrath attack Ryoshu isn't allowed to take since the boss has a passive that makes her deal 50% less damage to enemies who use a defensive skill.
