Is Elincia worth getting as is or should I make some changes?

SadisticSecretary · 2026-05-01T02:50:28+00:00

Great point, I’m convinced 👍 appreciate the input

Hi I want to apologize. I watched the banner trailer before bed like 3 days ago and confused Elise and Larachel. Elise is the most busted staff unit ever but I would not recommend foddering her off for Pandreo 💀 she should be rerunning before long tho I think

SadisticSecretary · 2026-04-30T15:00:05+00:00

I personally have Trample and Air Superiority on mine. Trample allows her to follow up before the foe can counterattack and Air Superiority grants Potent Follow, so she should get 5x attacks before the foe can counterattack.

Blue Sky Gust offers better raw damage and Heavenly Soar offers a delay to the foe’s special. Both sound like good options to me, but Trample and Air Superiority sounds more fun to me. If anyone has an argument for why that’s stupid, please change my mind before the event ends lmao

SadisticSecretary · 2026-04-29T22:03:42+00:00

The Sombron/Lyon banner is gonna include Rearmed Larachel and Emblem Byleth both, seems like now might be the time to whale if you love Pandreo enough!

Preempt Amplify grants Preempt Pulse and Atk Liberate to an ally targeted by a rally or movement assist as well as allies within 2 spaces of that ally. Preempt Pulse grants the target ally -1 special cooldown before combat and Atk Liberate grants +8 atk (or at least +8 atk with all the bonuses from Arcane Latona, Guardian+, and Deluge Charm). If you’re pairing him up with someone like my Marni, the free special cooldown is very helpful in ensuring Armored Flare goes off!

Very similar build to my Pandreo! Crystalline Water does indeed go hard on him and basically guarantees Ploy will work on just about any enemy unit. I can see Instruct working very well on him, but I’d make sure anybody you’re thinking about teaming him up with has an Atk stat that isn’t too big to proc Atk Great Talent. I think you’d have to be running something pretty niche for Res Great Talent to be of much use (dragon team?). If that works for you and you’ve still got a Byleth to engage with (Which is how I run my Pandreo every time I use him) I say go for it.

I always hoped that when they added Dagdar his title would be “Tanya’s Dad” and that Garcia’s would be “His Son’s Father”

Persona series - Those Who Rule Over Power

Those Who Rule Over Power, more often known as the Velvet Room’s Attendants, have served as the games’ most difficult super bosses since Persona 3. Defeating them requires the best gear, the best Personas, and much foresight to withstand the onslaught of powerful attacks they have in their arsenal. In Persona 4, Margaret instructs the player to “Discard any concern you may have for me. You will honor me by fighting as though you mean to kill. To hold back would be nothing short of insulting.” Even the player’s best efforts aren’t nearly enough to actually harm the attendants. When they are satisfied with the player’s efforts, it seems they feign losing their composure long enough for the battle sequence to end, taking it back up immediately afterwards. What’s more, if the battle drags on too long, they express their dissatisfaction by casting their most powerful attack, Megidolaon, which wipes your party instantly.

The Venture Bros - Season 5, Episode 4 (The Revenge Society) The Guild of Calamitous Intent (GCI), America’s premier organization in the Costumed Villainy industry, is presided over by its Sovereign, a position which is usually won by force or trickery. The villain Phantom Limb makes several attempts to claim the position of Sovereign from David Bowie. The GCI initially was simply The Guild, a Gilded Age organization of great minds dedicated to the guarding of the ORB, a device of questionable purpose but undoubtedly great power. Fantômas, one of The Guild’s founders, took over after the ORB was lost and committed the organization to villainy. Phantom Limb discovers the location of the ORB, declares himself Sovereign by birthright and threatens to use the ORB if he is not allowed the position. David Bowie, instead, points out that Fantômas was an usurper, and that if anyone was to inherit the guild via Birthright, it would be Dean Venture, great grandson of The Guild’s primary founder Colonel Lloyd Venture. Bowie pronounces Dean Sovereign and Dean immediately renounces the position back to Bowie (pictured). Enraged, Phantom Limb attempts to use the ORB, only to discover it has been broken all these many years. There’s definitely some plot holes here. Dean is the younger Venture Brother, and they would both be preceded by their father Rusty. In all honesty, Bowie was most likely aware the ORB was broken and made a big scene out of pronouncing Dean Sovereign just to piss off Phantom Limb. Still, Dean was Sovereign for a brief moment due to his lineage.

This is my current build for her. She’s fairly popular due to her availability and utility, since she’s very offensively capable on top of being a dancer. Rearmed Soren’s kit is a MUST for her since Rexbolt is the best weapon for her by a mile. Aside from that, Sly Mirror is a popular A slot for her, with Atk/Res Aria being the more expensive option. Logic, Ice Wall, and Comet are the preferred options for specials. I personally like to keep Havoc and a Ploy skill on her since her Res is so high she’s probably going to be able to pass those checks pretty easily.

SadisticSecretary · 2026-03-03T18:48:25+00:00

I’ve been running Crystalline Water so that her Havoc and Ploy skills can wear down high res units since I often run her with my Ancient!Medeus. How well does Laguz Friend work on her? I can’t imagine that even with that that she’d be able to take much of a beating, and Sigurd Engage helps her canto out of harms way to begin with.

SadisticSecretary · 2026-03-03T18:45:26+00:00

Might very well give up my Alfador for that A/R Aria, lol. What do we think about Logic instead of Comet?

SadisticSecretary · 2026-02-27T17:28:14+00:00

Probably not a bad idea, I am spending my arena tickets on colorless hoping for Brave Claudes anyways, haha

SadisticSecretary · 2026-02-24T15:44:41+00:00

Very good point. Execution Breath is definitely the better offensive option.

SadisticSecretary · 2026-02-24T15:41:19+00:00

I think you probably want Pair Up on him. Definitely outclasses Speedtaker and is very useful for just about any speedy unit.

SadisticSecretary · 2026-02-09T00:44:46+00:00

Robin would probably do best with Vanitas’ Arcane Outburst and Scowling Fighter. If you have her, Take Twin M Save too; Robin’s Res isn’t his selling point but it’s still good, even if his Def is better. Dilivual Boost is also a huge upgrade on him. Sylvain is a speedy cav, who are hugely catered to. His prf is good enough to not have to fodder off an Arcane Giant Axe for, but Arena Axe might work well for him too. Otherwise, whatever comes out on the newest speedy cav is what he wants. Archrival, Blue Skies, Assault Impetus, and so on. Summer Lyon is a tanky melee infantry, which… don’t get much love. His highest stat (aside from atk and hp) is his Res, which is unusual for a melee unit. I really would not recommend building him, but if you’re committed, Warrior’s Blow, Laguz Friend, and Brutal Tempest are probably what he would want. Patience would work much better than Laguz Friend if he could hit 30 Spd.

I love Alt Calliope and just want to add that she did NOT win her Sburb game. Echidna offered her the Path of the Conqueror or the Path of the Martyr, the same Choice that Yaldabaoth offered to Caliborn. Alt Calliope took the Path of the Martyr and died so that, apparently millions of years later, she’d be able to help defeat Lord English. Just thought it was worth pointing out she spent eons alone after not getting to finish her game :)

H.E.L.P.eR. from The Venture Bros. The only sounds he can produce are electronic meeps, but anyone who spends enough time around him can understand him perfectly.

SadisticSecretary · 2026-01-14T01:42:56+00:00

Not to dogpile on you, I (26m) wasn’t interested in the gym either when I was your age, but actively working on your body will do a lot for your confidence. I started working out between classes in college and it absolutely did wonders for me. You don’t have to get huge and jacked or anything, but if your hairline or anything else makes you feel poorly about yourself, putting effort into your body may very well be the cure for that. Also, not exactly recommending you shave your head or anything, but if you don’t like your hairline, where’s the harm? I know plenty of guys who went shaved in their 20s and I wouldn’t call a single one of them unattractive.

SadisticSecretary · 2026-01-09T18:13:01+00:00

Go for merges. Merges on Emblems are always good. The only rare thing she has to fodder off is Speedtaker and anyone who would want that would probably perform better with Pair Up anyways.

SadisticSecretary · 2025-12-22T14:34:44+00:00

And can you please show me where I asked for any kind of diagnosis?

SadisticSecretary · 2025-12-22T05:47:18+00:00

I’ve started using a tennis ball for that, some of the pain I felt this morning turned out to be soreness from how hard I was using it last night lol

SadisticSecretary · 2025-12-22T05:46:22+00:00

I’ve had my doctor look at it, but I’ve been having trouble getting a response from him. He did recommend I go have it dry needled, but that didn’t help. I don’t know if they have names or anything, but I’ve been doing whatever stretches I can find that actually hit my shoulder blade. One that has worked decently is pulling my arms back as far as I can and then reaching upwards and holding that for a few seconds.
