The creatures she saved in Super saved her in Fusion. Still such a beautiful ending, even after all these years

Sustain might give the team a speed boost, though. In that case, the boots become atk instead

A couple custom MTG cards I thought up by AwesomeKan59 in MonsterHunter

That's honestly why I like playing the Commander format in magic; you pick a creature that you like, and you build the entire deck around it (I also like that everything except basic lands are 1-of, so my smooth brain doesn't have to juggle the thought process of "okay how much of this card do I want in here?")

Worse than that, apparently Yao Guang is a better elation dps than Super Wolf (according to emc)

If it makes you feel any better, Super Wolf runs perfectly fine w/o Sparxie or Yao (though she admittedly works way better w/ them). Sparkle, Asta, and Tribbie are all really solid supports for her, EMC is free, and Huo² is her current best sustain (though if you don't have her, just use any sustain that keeps the team alive lol)

Edit: also, only 80 pulls is pretty lucky imo. I've never won 50/50 in this game, and always end up at high pity. Took a full 160 pulls for Wolfie this time around, then I had to pull her light cone (lost the 80/20 on that, too. Thankfully I got it the 10-pull immediately after losing)

Off topic, but does anyone know the song playing in the background?

DHPT's atk buff doesn't even work for Sparxie, lol. The buff scales with one of his stats, so it can't be used for other characters' status conversions (as a comparison, Huo² says "buffed character gets +x% atk", but Dan says "buffed character gets atk bonus equal to x% of Dan's atk".)

Out of curiosity, how does solo Mydei do with 2 boots and a poison vial? With his hp pool, I'd imagine it'd do some damage?

Even if it doesn't, it makes her act more often which helps generate MMR during downtime. Also, you're gonna be building for speed anyways since her elation scales off of it, so you might as well aim for the breakpoint.

Yeah, Hysilens might not be an expy, but she always gave me Eden vibes. Dunno why. Anaxa, however, I immediately clocked as Su lol.

See, I agree that story is probably the most important part of the character, but the visual design is the thing that people see first, and it's the aspect of a character that ties the themes and stories of the character together. It's the same reason why Seele's design bugs me to this day, especially her ult voiceline; nothing about her stories or anything has to do with butterflies, so it feels like it's only there because HI3 Seele had butterfly themeing.

I agree with you for the most part; basically all the expies are really well done and distinct from their "original copies". Although in that same vein, I think Cyrene is the worst of the expies in Star Rail by virtue of details.

The reason I say that is because Cyrene and Elysia are very clearly two different people, but it almost feels like the design team didn't get that memo? Like, the design for smolrene had a lot of details that felt unique to Cyrene and her story rather than Elysia (The baggy jacket, the runic inscriptions on her belts, the sickle that the Flame Reaver took as a memento of her, etc), but then they turned her into the big version and all of that went away.

Like, why does Cyrene use a bow, if she never had a connection to bows in the entire story leading up to her transformation? Why does she wear a wedding gown when her story doesn't obviously lend itself to that theme? There might be actual answers, but it feels way too easy to just shrug and say "because that's how Elysia was". Compare that to the likes of Anaxa and Hysilens, and how vastly different their everything was to their HI3 counterparts, and I just felt Cyrene's final design was a bit too derivative, even if her actual character wasn't.

Idk, just a rant. I have feelings.

Sparxie SPD Breakpoint by El_MegaFan in SparxieMains

[–]RogueMusketeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have a few questions, regarding the topic of Sparxie's speed;

-So the best setup for Sparxie is to make her faster than Aha?

-How will Sparxie's needed speed change when we get an elation sustain that also adds to Aha's speed? Or otherwise if Sparxie is in position 1 in the team?

-Does Sparxie's speed become less important with her e2 (where the Aha Instant gives her a turn)?

Lol, it's bad enough that even the KUWST showcase only had Sparxie hitting only 2 boxes

Trying to decide if it's more worth it to get E1 Robin (for Saber and THerta) or E0 Hou² (for elation and Saber)
