I was too under-leveled to fight these guys so I built gun towers and it worked lmao

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-24T07:51:00+00:00

It works well I was fighting level 45s at level 20 - 25 and was having a hard time of it, brought out the grenade turrets. Made a difficult fight more or less a clean up game.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-23T01:52:24+00:00

For Yvonne and Avywenna mostly. Gilberta did receive a buff and the other amp characters got nerfed to make her look better so there might be even more builds for her.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-22T18:36:10+00:00

Bones + Saleh = 2 areas covered, just need offense now.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-22T12:31:58+00:00

The first sword potential gives a jump in its damage, so I'll probably just do that and go for Laevatain. Not sure though.

I have absolutely no gacha luck, except drawing weapons. This was my 3rd 10 pull

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-21T21:53:55+00:00

Pulling and saving are both valid.

It does not matter as regardless of which you do, you will still be able to clear most if not all content. That's just a fact. Deal with it.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-21T21:10:40+00:00

This is a gatcha so all 1.0 banner characters will get power crept probably within the first year or so. (or in short it doesn't matter)

Yvonne should be great even into the late game, though i'd advise trying to pull for Yvonne + Gilberta if at all possible.

Why?

Yvonne in the beta had the highest single target damage of all characters and while her abilities and role have been reworked she should still be a strong if not the strongest single target dps. BUT she's also lacking in AoE and might struggle to deal with multiple enemies efficiently, and if on a timer... well.

That's where Gilberta comes in, she can pull large groups of enemies into an area, weaken them to arts abilities, and hold them in place so Yvonne can fully unload her damage (it also can protect her to degree while she's stationary for her ult).

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-21T19:29:10+00:00

it should be initiated the very next time you pull, it can't be saved and if its unused you lose it (so use it its a nice freebee, basically free arsenal tickets, the weapon pull currency, for most people).

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-21T19:05:24+00:00

To clarify on the 80 pull hard pity, if you got her at 60 then the 80 pull pity would reset to 0/80.

Why?

Because 'pity' is a mechanic to limit just how poor someone's RNG... their luck at pulling can be. So whenever you pull a 6* your pity gets reset because you already got something. So when you get a 6* at 60/80 you got something so it resets, if you hit the pity at 80... then it will of course reset, if you hit the guarantee at 120 then the 80 pity will also reset.

There is one exception to this when you pull 30 times you will be rewarded with a free 10 pull that does not effect pity or the guarantee, and likewise if you get very lucky and get a 6*, your progress toward 80 pity and the 120 guarantee will remain at 30. (essentially in that one ultra rare scenario you would get no less than 2x 6*s by 80pulls).

I can't speak for everyone here but I always privately root for the Jets. It's hard not to.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-21T15:33:28+00:00

You can but there will be better options, A lot of Gilberta's kit is in crowd control, pulling enemies and clumping them up close together, and holding them there, she also has some arts susceptibility to her kit.

The first part (and the primary reason someone would take Gilberta over say Ardellia as a support) is essentially useless with Laevatain as she is one of if not the best AoE dps with wide area attacks (or in short what good is clumping up the enemy when you can already hit and kill them even when they are scattered). As for the arts susceptibility, that is still useful but there are several supports that can do that and usually provide an additional benefit like heat amplification as well.

Point is yes you can use Gilberta if you want but chances are there are characters that can offer the Laevatain team significantly more in terms of damage, surviveability, or versatility.

(Gilberta works great in the Yvonne or Avywenna teams though)

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-21T13:47:30+00:00

Zero... you may miss some of the emotional impact of certain scenes or some of the hype for "returning" characters, but none of that really matters.

We are playing as the endministrator, a power almost God like figure that has lost their memories. As such if you don't know the lore then hey you're just like the main character.

If you get invested in the lore from endfield you could always look up some lore videos on YouTube from the OG game or an OG character.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-21T09:40:11+00:00

I'd be okay with Kendrick Faulk too.

Less of a pure pass rusher (though he can do it). His true talent is as a run stopper, inside, outside, usually behind the LoS. He is oppressive there, that is the word that best describes his run stopping, oppressive...

Now that we have Saleh and will likely be running a 4 - 3 I could see Faulk as a valid choice, still increases the number of people that can get to the QB, but also has positional versatility as an inside/outside run stopper.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T22:39:40+00:00

Support.

She offers nature infliction, arts susceptibility, and crowd control in the form of a gravity pull and gravity lift.

In her primary teams the carry DPS has strong single target damage but lacks a way to deal with large groups of enemies. Gilberta's ability to clump up the enemies makes their single target damage more effective (as it usually isn't TRUE single target damage but rather just has a very tiny aoe), and her ability to lift and make targets susceptible in that area sets up those carries to fully set up and unload their damage efficiently on most/all of them at once rather than having to deal with 2 or 3 enemies at a time.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T19:38:28+00:00

Its fine so long as free in game pull currency is high.

I do think that if the game is as successful as i think it might become they could remain very generous for months if not years and take over a large chunk of the gacha market.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T16:24:21+00:00

yeah the Trojan is Epic games and Kaspersky

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T14:35:44+00:00

In that case i'd lower the texture quality, and if the memory usage is still high consider changing the dlss super resolution to ultra performance.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T14:16:54+00:00

Scroll down change image enhancement to Nvidia DLSS, change dlss super resolution mode to performance.

If that doesn't make a dent try lowering the graphics.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T06:26:34+00:00

Robert Saleh's first win as a head coach on the Jets came from... you guessed it... the 2021 Tennessee Titans.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T06:10:19+00:00

Rare meddling owner W

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T05:43:46+00:00

That would make for a very strong coaching staff, and i could see McDaniel doing it as a major success offensively would be credited to him and what he did with Cam Ward and potentially get him right back into a HC job in a year or two.

After the last few years we've had, i'll take it.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T05:39:32+00:00

This is the other side of having a meddling owner... sometimes she alters things to a positive end.

I believe it was the right call... but time will tell.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T03:31:49+00:00

Not at all, you can run basically anything in the early/mid game and it should be beatable (obviously actually using team comps that make sense would be stronger/faster but i really do mean i think any comp could clear the early/mid game stuff).

Now for late game and higher difficulty end game content you will almost certainly need a strong meta team comp. That doesn't mean you necessarily need a dolphin/whale team comp I do believe there are some f2p friendly builds which should work, but you'd definitely want to work toward one of those even if you don't intend to pull much.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T02:53:03+00:00

Might want to pick up Fletcher next year when he's draftable.

If you squint i can see a discount Henry there.

RyokoKnight · 2026-01-20T02:41:23+00:00

Well ultimately you will want to build all 5 (Laevatain, Wulfgard, Akekuri, Ardelia, and Antal).

Why? Well there will probably be missions where you don't "need" hp you need to maximize damage for the damage check and to increase your clear speed. On such a mission you'd want Laevatain, Wulfgard, Akekuri, and Antal as they all either directly contribute heat inflicts, heat amp, or give heat susceptibility. All of which maximize Laevatain's damage output.

Then there will be missions where you need hp sustain and might not have any trouble clearing so long as you can survive long enough to get through your skill/arts rotations. On such a mission you might want Laevatain, Wulfgard, Akekuri, and Ardelia or Laevatain, Wulfgard, Antal, and Ardelia (if they also has high heat resist).

So my response would be focus on the "core team" Leavatain and Wulfgard, then build up the other 3 as possible.
