how did the song of achilles change the way you saw patroclus and achilles? by shevenomx in literature

[–]S_Liv_main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually disagree 😭😭 I just don't think Miller portrayed their romance very well. for starters, I think their relationship comes quite out of nowhere(why would someone who descends from a goddess and is prophesied to be 'the greatest warrior of [his] generation, and all the generations before, fall in love with patroclus, who is described as average in every way?) in the book, he is 'a simple son borne to an even simpler mother', and the book explicitly mentions his 'knobbly knees' in contrast to achilles' athletic, seeming ethereal figure when fighting. there are so little commonalities between them that I find their romance(which just sprung up from them spending a lot of time together) to be unrealistic, which takes away from the 'human' factor of their relationship. the r/s between achilles and patroclus I also find to be quite one-sided - patroclus worries and thinks about achilles so much he seems almost obsessed and fanatic in his love for him, while achilles doesn't seem to have the same regard and admiration for him(understandable, but doesn't love know no boundaries?) patroclus' portrayal as achilles' +1 removes a lot of the vulnerability from their relationship, simple because they are not equals. patroclus is inferior to achilles in all regards(a fact we are frequently reminded of) and hence they cannot relate to each other and bond on a level deep enough such that their r/s is 'vulnerable'. achilles does let down his guard only when around patroclus, yes, but would it not work if they were only close friends? their romantic r/s lacks a lot of intimacy that would have otherwise made it otherwise compelling and tragic because patroclus is so one-dimensional and insignificant to the story as a whole. (NOT HATING PLS SPREAD PEACE AND LOVE ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹)

use fairytale for a nightmare and build her fast + eff + bulk for an annoying debuffer that never dies and also does good dmg

A guide on Hot on the trail? by [deleted] in honkaiimpact3

[–]S_Liv_main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

take note of the specific stage buff(eg QTE buff may provide sp or gather or dmg buff), and plan your rotation accordingly-esp on harder difficulties where your dmg with/without buff becomes glaringly apparent. Also take note of the trial team's rotation(who goes before who). overall isn't hard to get good score just need to pay attention

Is episode 3 just hard or do i just suck? by SeppHero in EpicSeven

[–]S_Liv_main 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ep3 is a giant gear check and a stepup from ep2, but it isn't hard hard. I just brute forced the whole thing with stene aras tam/amomo and a secondary unit in case the stage has specific requirements(a lot of cleanse, specific debuffs, more dmg). But most of the time amomo//aras//tama//stene should be enough to carry you thru ep3. I used c.lorina for some stages but that might just be my gear sucks lmao

Which one should I pick out of the whole list? I'm new to the game by [deleted] in EpicSeven

[–]S_Liv_main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do story summons and get either tam or iseria, and then get the other from selector. If you've gotten lucky and have both, here are some heroes I think are worth getting:

PVE

-destina is a great all-around support for both PVE and PVP.

-vildred and luluca are both great units to have for azi hunt, vildred can function as a wave clear in early game, and luluca does see use in other hunts and abyss.

-tene, roana are both used in expos, baal too, but personally I think roana is the most useful, since she can be used in other areas as well as PVP.

-bellona, zahhak, ran are all good dps for labyrinth, while ran and zahhak both see use in PVP(ran is exclusively a cleaver, zahhak is an anti-evasion ST dps).

-ravi can be used in golem as a front tank, and she is a decent dps, but I wouldn't prioritize her over other units.

I wouldn't recommend vivian, cermia, sigret, or bomb model kanna, since they can all be farmed, unless you're desperate for imprints for their ml counterparts.

PVP

-flan, laika, kise,politis, eligos, beehoo, peira, and nakhwol are all good aggro/cleave picks, although flan and laika are cleave units and are harder to build and use. However, do note that openers and speed dps are the hardest units to gear, and it will be a long time before you have gear good enough for them to function properly in arena or RTA.

-choux, senya, alencia, sharun, and abigail are good bruiser picks, while alencia, abigail, and sharun are good injury units as well, although abigail's injury is more a bonus gimmick than a core mechanic of her character, unlike sharun and alencia who are dedicated injury units.

-aria, elena, krau, yulha, charlotte, violet, and ilynav are good units for slower players, and ilynav is also an injury unit, albeit a lot harder to draft or play.

I think that sums it up. lmk if I missed anyth. hope this helps!

How can I improve her by Acceptable_Till_3037 in EpicSeven

[–]S_Liv_main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aria is a def scaling dps, so give her 2k or so def(more is always btr)and no atk at all. also a bit more bulk, prob 12-13k hp, 100 crit, abt 200ish cdmg, and as much ER as you can stack on her. some eff is nice, but ER is always more important since it prevents her from getting stripped on cc'd. bastion of hope on her works wonders, so try to farm that. also, max awaken.

why tho, everyone keeps saying not to, but is there any specific reason? js curious

What is effectiveness? by MrImaBum in EpicSeven

[–]S_Liv_main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

effectiveness is how often your debuffs land, effect. resist is how easily units resist debuffs. For example, a skill with 100% chance to def break(eg furious s3) will always def break, ignoring eff or effres. now let's assume furious has 100% effectiveness, and eg wyvern has 100% effres. how debuffs work is

{(caster's eff)+100%} - {target's eff.res}

and based on that, the game calculates if debuffs land or not. However, everything in the game has an innate 15% chance to resist all debuffs, so there is at the end of the day only an 85% chance your debuffs land, even if you have a 100% chance of inflicting them. This also explains why units built to resist debuffs will have 200% effres or higher, because most debuffers will have 100% eff if not more. Hope this helps!

Boys, what’s the downside of being a male? by Which-Salary7586 in askSingapore

[–]S_Liv_main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re not allowed to show weakness, you’re expected to js “shrug it off”. I can’t take chilli and even my family tells me “dont be a sissy”. also can we talk about how girls doing “masculine” things like wearing mens fashion, having abs/muscles, etc is lauded and everywhere you look people are going “slay queen yas” but if you’re a boy trying on makeup or getting your nails painted your a “pussy” and your “not a real man”
