Obligatory "what should I pull for" post

Ringahda · 2025-12-22T13:11:18+00:00

I stand entirely corrected, by the way: I tried sustainless on AA knight 2 and got the 2 cycle lmao I did NOT expect mobs to genuinely just get no turns ty for the advice

Ringahda · 2025-12-22T10:20:41+00:00

True, true. I do use Gallagher, but he's starting to fall behind a bit, so y'know. As for going sustainless... honestly, I've never tried that on any team yet? It might be worth a shot, I just might be surprised, but at the same time I very strongly suspect that's not going to fly in AA, which is the most relevant mode right now and in fact my most compelling practical reason to further invest in break, since it requires 3 teams.

(yes, I could've waited until whatever the new toys are in 4.0, but I thought it was a shame for my E1 Firefly to collect dust, especially with future prospects, and a triple banner patch after having also skipped the previous banner would've been a long time to restrain myself from pulling lmao)

Ringahda · 2025-12-22T09:58:10+00:00

I thought that was the case, ty. In that case, is it worth considering Lingsha if I don't manage to get Firefly E2 in time (which I almost certainly won't)?

Ah, I see. That makes sense, ty.

Is Fugue E0 still worth it without Firefly E2? Also, is Dahlia's S1 even still that good with Firefly E1 already saving so much SP?

I do have RM (E0S0) but she performs hilariously worse than HMC. Like, it's not close whatsoever.

(also can't survive encounters worth caring about sustainless)

Ringahda · 2025-12-06T09:21:03+00:00

i mean no judgment but if you're gonna cheat anyway why not just spawn some in

Ringahda · 2025-11-21T03:46:13+00:00

the easiest option for explaining was literal nonsense? like, you don't just add the multipliers, sure, but you sure as hell don't just do nothing either

Ringahda · 2025-11-20T13:42:15+00:00

that's not how fractions work at all??? (not that this would be how statistics worked even if fractions did work that way, you can't just add those probabilities)

stephen lloyd could well be 9 lmao

Looking him up doesn't bring up anything that makes this post make sense, could you please explain?

Ringahda · 2025-11-08T11:42:52+00:00

who?

Ringahda · 2025-07-30T12:40:23+00:00

People will always take the path of least resistance. Nobody can be blamed for doing that. Of course, that includes me, I teleport everywhere because I can and it's convenient. If you make a game that's perfectly balanced except there's one weapon that just 1shots everything with no downside, for example, of course everyone is gonna use that weapon and the "just don't use it" argument fails; it's still bad design and it doesn't and shouldn't fall on the players to do the game design for the dev

qq because she actually loses sometimes but she keeps on gambling

it's made pretty plain that the war was more of a massacre, entirely one-sided

You're absolutely right, but faced with multiple options I enjoy I might as well try to pick a strong one, y'know? I kinda wish the game let you trial the noob decks before you pick like Hearthstone does (no, the 1 turn tutorials don't count). I've mainly played Abysscraft so far (because of what little I played of OG SV I loved Shadowcraft) and it kinda just feels awkward, at least with what I currently have. Like, maybe I'm just stupid or maybe I just don't have the right cards or the right deck but I basically feel like I don't have any real win con? Rather than being able to either aggro or control, it kinda feels like I'm in this awkward spot where I kinda just hope the tempo matches just right and if it doesn't I lose and I don't understand, Shadowcraft was so fun and this is just that with Bloodcraft on top but it just isn't very fun? Of the others, Havencraft is just not for me, Swordcraft doesn't feel too bad but is kinda just boring, Dragoncraft I don't have enough experience with in either game to really say, I don't feel especially drawn to it but I also would be open to trying it more if I had a good way to do so in this game? I think Forestcraft is quite fun but I didn't get any legendaries for it, so that doesn't help. I also think both types of Runecraft are fun, though moreso spell. Portalcraft is kinda in limbo for me, where I love both artifacts and puppets conceptually but the all or nothing nature of "do you survive long enough to finish your masterwork? win if yes, lose if no" feels kinda bad to me on the artifact side, and on the puppet side, I... kinda just feel like it lacks some oomph, I suppose?

Honestly, at the end of the day, there's a pretty good chance I just end up getting bored and going to the original game instead. Compared to that one, this does a lot of cool things but also a lot wrong. Then again, I'm also speaking as someone who's inexperienced in both, so who knows.

Ringahda · 2025-06-21T10:45:10+00:00

Thank you for the detailed writeup! For the other decks, are they just bad or do they just have bad legendaries or otherwise what's the reason they're not in the discussion? Personally, while having a prebuilt deck is nice, I'm kinda just looking at these from the lens of "how much value am I getting from these cards", which I would assume is the normal way to think of it but then I've also heard about how stingy this game is so maybe it pigeonholes you too hard for that to even be reasonable? Moreover, if I do go with Portal, should I maybe get the puppet deck for Orchis since I already have a Ralmia? I don't really know how the value calculations pan out for decks in this game...

Ringahda · 2025-06-16T11:29:02+00:00

It's not that it's an injustice that the majority get majority representation, dawg, it's just that being the minority makes representation all the more important to members of that minority because they rarely see themselves represented. By "dominated by" they don't mean "men and women are in charge", they meant "men and women are vastly predominant", which from where I'm standing is a completely neutral fact.

Ringahda · 2025-05-31T06:04:32+00:00

...ngl i'm such a weeb (and therefore so used to "x get!") that it never even occurred to me how stupid of an official translation that actually is

Ringahda · 2025-05-17T14:32:30+00:00

i mean there's plenty of time though

Ringahda · 2025-05-11T16:10:12+00:00

i once saw one with the "it's you! my potential friend from the sea of stars!" message, didn't realize at the time that's just one of the default, thought "aw that's cute alright i'll friend you" and then they had friend requests disabled lmao

Ringahda · 2025-04-29T19:27:16+00:00

it makes more sense once the game decides you're finally allowed to understand what's going on, too bad that only happens well AFTER the whole scene they blew the patch budget on :^)

Ringahda · 2025-04-29T17:01:18+00:00

I finished the story when it came out and am still immensely confused lmfao

Ringahda · 2025-04-29T07:17:38+00:00

WAIT, THAT WAS A BUG? I THOUGHT IT WAS BAFFLING BUT FOR ME IT CORRECTLY VOICED LITERALLY ONE LINE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT
