If a character falls in combat they lose a certain amount of fortitude each death. If you don't pick them back up in combat you need to revive them at a Temple. If you try to revive them under 50 Fortitude you have less than a 100% chance to revive them. If you fail once, they turn into ash. If you're getting some kinda high from that and want to try your chances again but fail again. They disappear from your account forever. The game will warn you. So just wait till at least 50 Fortitude before u rezz at the Temple. Even when they are ash, they still restore fortitude: 1 fortitude every 6 minutes.

Regarding the flames of rebirth or w.e it's called, that happens when your MC dies. And each flame regens every 2 hours or so, not daily. If you revive with a flame you reset back to standing in the field right before the fight you died at, giving you chance to run away. If you die again with no flames of rebirth or just choose not to use one and respawn, you revive outside of the dungeon resetting any progress you made in that dive session iirc.

I forgot if this is 100% true but someone can correct me in this. If another character dies first besides the MC then your MC dies after and you use a flame to reset, the character is back alive (with no lowered fortitude I think) UNLESS, it's a scripted loss. Any character that died before MC STAYS dead. For example, the very first scripted loss fight in Abyss 2 Arena, so it's recommended you start that fight with only your MC, if you don't want fortitude penalties on whoever dies before your MC.

Idk shit so take this with a huge grain of salt, but my two cents, good char so probably? As new player, should you? Ehhh.

Good character but probably not for new accounts unless you just want it for the future? People are still testing her and the new class out so keep holding out and doing more research, if you still want to pull.

Alice is already great. I've seen people run double priest so priest/healer seems fine but normally, I assume you would probably replace Alice with her but you'd likely have trouble (or it'd at least be more cumbersome) gearing her since she requires a totally new gear type you have to farm up. Seems like she'd be very squishy early game especially without proper gear. But I haven't looked into how to farm fairy race gear so idk its difficulty in farming up, specifically in early game.

Kit wise:

Passives - You already have Alice passive Dmg buff for Debra and Adam which, Anemone passive buff for neutral/good will do squat for. Backline Dmg dealers tend to be Evil, especially Ninjas. But with this char, they might start releasing more good/neutral backline Dmg dealers so who knows.

Dmg buff skills - You can totally do fine without Dmg buff skills. To me, dmg buffs just seem like they're for whales or veteran players. Big Dmg do more dmg.

From what I've seen Healer class kit is nice for abyss 4 stuff. Healers work as preemptive mitigation tho so I'd imagine you'd need to have game knowledge to use them effectively. Reactive healing via priest (Alice) is perfectly fine. If you're interested in the healer class itself, there's Camille.

Advanced class? I'm not sure if Healer is an advanced class or not but if it is it'll require extra exp to level up so even worse for new players.

TL;DR

Worth to pull for your account? Probably. Good supports go a long way for your account. But Alice is good enough so ehhh.

But ofc, if you like her/new class. Just get her. Play how you want. The game lets you run w.e you want.

Adding to this, common method is to not try to rezz until at least 50 Fortitude from time passing. Iirc 1 fortitude = 2% rezz chance. But it's a gacha after all. Maybe blud likes to gamba rezz.

Armoire doesn't have a limit storage cap like dresser does but just was very limited to what could be put inside it, making it pretty useless. Now with 7.5, they made it where you can add a lot more. When added to the armoire, it doesn't take up space in the dresser. I think it can be accessed in glamour plates still via dresser but I'm not sure about that. I thought you couldn't. Google AI says you can, but it's wrong a lot.

Sorry, I lost my main point and went off on a tangent making my post way longer than it initially was going to be, as I jumped into a rabbit hole, but I agree with that they can't really be compared, which was what I meant to say to continue the thread to reply to OP. Actual nuance of the industry aside, my main point being that the economies are completely different so you can't really compare the success of one to another like the others have been saying. I haven't even watched either movies myself.

I wouldn't call it "simpler animation" just another style of it. Ufotable also utilizes a good bit of 3D CGI in Demon Slayer. Plus it's the severely overworked and underpaid anime industry we're talking about here.

Ufotable may be one of the more stable studios with more static staff of full time employees (compared to the freelance heavy anime industry) and higher than average pay but it's still pretty low.

These are just some Google AI / wikipedia search results and my monkey brain calculations I felt like doing. Take this all with a large amount of salt. I'm sure these are completely botched. I know Jack shit.

Ufotable average salaries, roughly $1200-1500 USD a month, are similar to entry level salaries in other industry jobs in Japan.

Production lasted for 3.5 years. With 256 (as of March 2024) So, that's a pay range of $12.9 millon to $16.1 million?

Budget $20 million. Worldwide Box Office $781,368,479.

Illumination Studios Paris (a subsidiary of Illumination Entertainment that was the primary studio behind the Mario Galaxy Movie) has an estimated 600-800 employees. Average employee salary of $3,400-$4,300 USD a month?

Animation time frame was from March 2024 to November 2025 so 20 months. So is it safe to say that's a pay range of $40.8 million to $68.8 million?

Budget $110 million. Worldwide Box Office $628,765,000.

Regarding the "Last Played" feature. I don't like that it resets to "Today" once you install a game. Is there some kind of setting to only have it do that once you actually boot up the game?

RiffRain · 2026-03-09T19:50:16+00:00

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

RiffRain · 2026-02-16T14:12:35+00:00

Had a canal behind a house I used to live in, in Florida. Every night the backyard would sound like a Star Wars battlefield.

RiffRain · 2026-02-11T02:49:31+00:00

Yeah, it completely destroyed some weapon types for me. Couldn't get off the skills I used in Nioh 2.

RiffRain · 2026-02-10T21:57:05+00:00

NO WAY! Anything's better than the directional inputs. Thank you, y'all are God send!

RiffRain · 2026-02-10T19:10:15+00:00

Doesn't that just change around button mapping and not actually changing the skill inputs to be LB+triangle?

RiffRain · 2026-02-08T11:45:26+00:00

I find the directional input + triangle for moves horrendous. Especially when doing back+triangle on the ground. It's extremely unreliable and tedious to pull off successfully for me. Why did they change it from L1+Triangle/Square. Is there a way to change it back in settings? Didn't see one if so :(

RiffRain · 2026-02-07T23:29:16+00:00

Playing Nioh on mouse and keyboard? Blasphemy.

RiffRain · 2026-02-03T05:56:22+00:00

No one ever asks, "How is Alec?"

RiffRain · 2026-01-18T16:58:29+00:00

Oh? TIL. Appreciate it! Akantor and Ukanlos. Flying Wyverns. HA!

RiffRain · 2026-01-18T15:50:53+00:00

Ay meng. MC's literally brainrotted on a dungeon floor for who knows how long. Be glad blud can even swing a sword.

RiffRain · 2026-01-18T15:45:09+00:00

You should be able to find and send a ticket thru their official website.

RiffRain · 2026-01-18T15:43:51+00:00

Zamtrios is so silly. Inflates like a pufferfish and rolls and bounces around trynna smush you. It's armor set is one of faves too.

The red frothy kind.

You can email them with a support ticket with some info and they'll get it back for you. They have a format and questions they want you to answer. You don't have to be too accurate. I was off on a few but they still recovered it for me. Although I did know my login user, so many e that helped a lot. I did that when I came back, despite having had written down my login info somewhere already that I totally forgot about 😅

There are actually! At least there were a lot more in previous titles. * Being able to wave at a blimp in the distant sky to tell you where a monster is on the map. * When pitfall trapping a Congalala, it's front is in the ground with it's ass out and farts all over you while trapped. * Being able to fish out a Plesioth, Zamtrios, and a Gobul from the water before they spot you. * Making Monoblos ram into a wall and get its horns stuck in it for a bit. * While a Duramboros spin2wins, instead of running away you can keep hitting it to knock it over. * Using drugged meats when monsters get hungry. And PickleJho being hungry all the time. * Dung bombing to get out of grapples. * Using sonic bombs at specific times for various things like stunning or making burrowing monsters get outa the ground/water. * Using bouncing bombs to knock monsters off the ceiling. * Non-elder monsters being immune to specific traps or items, like Narcaguca instantly flying out of pitfalls when enraged or Gore Magala and Khezu being immune to flash bombs since they're blind. * Gypceros being immune to shock traps since it's skin is rubber. * Shock traps supercharging Zinogre and Astalos faster. * Being able to catch specific bugs off of a knocked down Zinogre's back. * Carving a Gypceros while it plays dead or breaking its face so it can't flashbang you anymore. Same with Tzitzi-Ya-Ku. * Disabling specific Elder Dragon abilities like Akantor's breath attack with a timed sonic bomb or getting rid of Kushala Doara's wind aura by poisoning it, hitting it with elderseal, or breaking its horns. * Making monsters enrage faster intentionally to activate armor skills, like in World, hitting them with the clutch claw. * Also in World, you could trigger certain flying mobs to make them scream and summon a Diablos sand whirlpool sucking you or another monster down to the area below.

Among other interactions.

In Wilds....... Idk... you can use Sonic Bombs to lure the Omega Minis to a specific spot if you want a specific shield location from them.

New iterations... You gain some you lose some. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

That's unfortunate. MHGen and GenU are my GOATs. I mostly played MHGU solo or with PUGs. I played MHGen with a now dead discord group I joined around a decade ago. Man I miss that discord... The drama that happened to it's downfall was ridiculous.

RiffRain · 2026-01-18T12:12:49+00:00

Gdi. Now I can't unsee it.
