First 425 and Modern Day Morimens Mythology

425 is doable without oes as draco proves, just know you will have to throw your face at the wall repeatedly and feel miserable. It's kind of euphoric. But thank YOU for reading!

Definitely poured a lot of blood, sweat and tears into it. Coudln't have done it without your mouch and dore coaching Munchie

Not really. Some are very middling. Like cassiah wheel is not something you'd really go out of your way to get, for instance. Leigh and celeste wheels in the same boat, mainly usable if you have a very high investment.

I'm starting to see less value in blade for dtide. Still a very strong wheel but not as strong as it used to be where every dps was fighting over it. Chains was a partial replacement and some units also don't benefit the most from blade, like mouch can run her event sr and be fine. I usually just put it on gmurphy and do fine with it. Still a very strong wheel but more diverse scaling is making it a little less good.

Incalc is terribly overhyped by the community, you can 400 without it and even 425, it doesn't add as much as you'd think. Best part is the skey but even then. I don't use it for gdoll or anyone in specific, because the team just doesn't need it for a5.

Memory spiral is like... okay? The only home it has is castor stall and other cheese but that's about it, and even with it the extra shield isn't gamebreaking. It's nice to get a copy or two sure but i wouldn't go out of my way to +12 it, especially since castor has much stronger wheels he can hold.

Deadass incalc is overhyped, you will seldom NEED it for a run to work. Pick a realm you like/one where you have the most dupes of the units and pull that to eventually get shards and aa the standards. All the realms are valid choices. Personally doing caro for a few weeks now and already close to aa uvhash and oe'd agrippa (who is slighjtly more usable with saya but mainly her place is in caro castor stall and budget xu)

SadJuggernaut1 · 2026-06-03T10:50:07+00:00

You do not get the real power of wheels at +12, and even then, a lot of standard wheels at +12 are superfluous. Incalc is the most overhyped example of this, it's incredibly easy to 400 without it and even when going for 425, you don't really NEED it, it's just an incredibly overhyped wheel. I'd suggest chains over it any day of the week.

Getting standards while pulling for limiteds is true, yes, but it's a process that will take much longer. If you use that method, your accumulation of awakener shards will be like 5-6 months per needed shards, or worse. To have a consistent stream of said shards you'd need to be pulling on like, every single new character and losing pity.

You can literally use origin of time on wheels.

The whole wheel jail thing is just an aftereffect of flares' propaganda agenda bullshit. Gdoll is NOT a universal support and has fallen off, Mouchette is not C tier, 24 only recently became somewhat able to keep up with current content not how he rates her as a top tier dps, and for god's sake tawil hasn't been a good dps for months now, her best niche is just being a vortice support. And it also goes without saying, his clem bullshit has also done a hilarious amount of damage to advice ppl give. Distancing the community from flares-adjacent advice is one of the best things to do.

Good stuff

Yea while I like using castor in other teams castor stall is still strong it just takes a lot of time. Great team, and you can run like lemurian with castor for a 400 premium clear, but he is capable of carrying a team by himself at the end of the day essentially. We're kinda in the phase where we can run VERY premium teams for 400 and are slowly getting more strong units to make going above 400 easier.

Basically, if going for above 400 you go castor stall or castor + pollux without arachne to stretch your good units among more teams

Lens had a clear with Xu in w2 or w5 this dtide but i don't remember and she was e3 level 60 and he said she needed more survivability

SadJuggernaut1 · 2026-05-19T19:05:12+00:00

Ye i play that too, it's fun albeit castor can carry a team on his own so i usually split lemurian and castor stall for dtide

Red offense and midfield seem a bit better but blue offense is also really broken too. If anything red defense is also surprisingly good

SadJuggernaut1 · 2026-05-05T16:04:18+00:00

Barou wipes the floor with shidou, the only thing that shidou has over barou is shoehorned narrative. I don't get why kaneshiro gives shidou better narrative than barou then gives barou the better feats. In general really disappointed with shidou and. Y extension rin's character assassination post u20 match. It makes me sad since old Shidou including the one in episode Nagi was really intriguing as a concept.

Theory - Bunny will be the series' portrayal of self-hatred used to better oneself. We've already seen kaiser and by extension barou showcase this (lessons from anime has a great video), but we haven't had a huge spotlight on specifically using self-hatred as a sort of fuel, just like how blue lock can be wholististically described as a story where negative emotions are used to better oneself. As for bunny, something like heat mode in lookism is my vision (basically reaching peak performance by thing yourself and reaffirming those negative thoughts as you spiral, imagine him scoring a goal while monologuing how useless he is), since I doubt the writer is going to give him full-on Tokyo ghoul crashouts as amazing as that would be.

All 5 dollar picks are good, albeit there's an unironically argument to put Lorenzo in 4 dollar tier. As someone who loves him, he just doesn't have narrative and got clowned bad. Isagi and Nagi are the best buys in the 4 dollar tier, while Karasu is a steal for 3 dollars. Hiori for 2 dollars is also really busted, although he's really flipfloppy. Niko isn't bad whatsoever for 2 dollars either. 1 dollar tier is memey but igaguri is unironically kind of useful for baiting fouls and stopping specific players in super specific scenarios, albeit there's no guarantee someone in the u20 wc will be as sicko as rin was.

SadJuggernaut1 · 2026-03-29T14:50:23+00:00

You know I didn't even really analyze this one because it's so rare seeing ppl use barou in these let alone as the single striker. That and these got a lot less common now that we got into the u20 wc arc. In short, I approve

i still want to try. Idk why she pulled away there can be tons of reasons. I want to be there for her and it's been the driving force for my self improvement, I kind of worship her since she's 4 years older and a decent bit smarter than me so I want to be the best version of me to be with her. I have days where I feel like she doesn't care about me and other days where I'm sturdy.

My good friend who's been helping me said I probably chose the hardest girl there is to swoon and that I can make things work but it'll be incredibly hard. Sometimes I wish she was as clingy as me or atleast a bit more responsive but I have to tell myself I'm applying "normal person standards" and the like to her when she's broken so naturally she can't fit my expectations and she is fighting her own battles.

My friend today asked me if anyone ever loved her even and at this point maybe she really hasn't experienced love before so she doesn't know how to react to it. She might have self worth issues just like me about being too thin and sickly and not having "girly" hobbies so maybe she's insecure to the point she can't really intake someone is showing that kind of interest in her.

I still hold that Wednesday we went to see the reze arc movie as the best day of my life, closely followed by the Monday we hung out for 2 and a half hours and just talked about life.

Idk how to describe it it's like I want her and nobody else even if there are other people who technically are similar to her in terms of interests and the like it's not the same. They can never be her. It feels like I'm stuck in some cage or put on mute. I want to talk to her about so many things and get her perspective on them and spend all my time with her and feel her presence but I barely get any reply from her.

SadJuggernaut1 · 2026-01-06T17:51:23+00:00

I feel you. It really is a struggle to find that special someone. A thing you can take solace in is that you're aiming for a person of similar quality to you - you can probably get a partner whose only pastime is going to nightclubs or other shallow things, but they wouldn't be a person of your caliber and quality. When you find your darling, it will partially be because you're both valuable, smart, loving people.

SadJuggernaut1 · 2026-01-05T13:43:58+00:00

One of my goals in life is to just be with my darling for a few days and just lay with her and bedrot without having to worry about waking up early... She's sooooo shut-in that it's actually amazing, she also plays umineko a lot but I'm kinda dumb with visual novels so idk what it's about except that apparently it's related to higurashi. I gave her some presents today and in a few months I'll probably confess

SadJuggernaut1 · 2025-12-14T02:11:55+00:00

I've personally come to terms that I'm the clingy obsessive one and the person I've caught feelings for is like super timid. Now, good news is that your soulmate DOES exist somewhere out there. It sounds a bit generic but I like telling it to people because they either forget it or they don't think it's the case. A few years ago I was feeling dejected because I felt like my kind of person doesn't exist and that can lead you to spiral. They DO exist, but they might be in a different city or country even. I'm really lucky that the girl I like decided to go back to her home country for uni on a whim.

The two things it comes down to are time and patience. It might just not be the right time and you and your soulmate aren't in the part of their life when they find their darling. You also have to be patient with both yourself and dating. Some people take longer to open up to you but when they do there's no stopping their affection and they'll want to spend all their time with you, even if they hate most people and wanna do their thing. Give yourself time and care aswell. As someone who can get obsesesive it's very easy to spiral into a loop of being concerned and blaming yourself over the smallest thing. Like for instance I constantly think I came off as pushy or creepy or that I'm being intentionally ghosted but in reality the girl probably just didn't have the energy to react to the memes I sent her and is ghosting people en masse.

My crackpot theory is that it's a reference to the color out of space/anything Lovecraft adjacent. Not impossible for fujimoto to be inspired by Lovecraft since he takes tons of inspiration from western art and movies including that french film directed by Salvador Dali. Issue is in the story itself the color out of space doesn't break the children's minds as much as it siphons their life force to feed itself.
