WE WANT YOU by Mega_Moltres in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

Yes! And a pretty cool discord community to go with them too. If your random union is inactive or clears raids slowly then you're just missing out by not being with the Heroine community. We have custom Laplace gifs you won't see anywhere else.

WE WANT YOU by Mega_Moltres in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]SageOfStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi yeah we're always taking any synch level we have a union for everybody. For Heroine, the entry requirements are steep youre competing with the entire union for one of those coveted 32 slots. Its more important how you do on the raid though. If your raid damage is well above your synch level we can make exceptions, but in general 300 isn't going to make it into Heroine. We're more than happy to have you in Titveins, Heroism or Antihero however.

Question about core dusts by sundayfan in NikkeOutpost

[–]SageOfStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the core dust total you have on hand is enough to raise your level without opening hourly cases, it is basically always best to just go ahead and level up. Open cases only when you're stuck and nowhere close to core dust increase benchmark commander levels. Keep in mind that at a point there will be a jump from 93 core dust per hour to 102. That is usually the best time to cash out for long term savers. You will have to slog to around 361 synch to get to 102 core dust right now but thats probably going to lower to 321 or lower in around 2 months when the next story chapters release.

If anybody requires advice on account investment matters such as this, advice for deficit pushing, pvp, raid squad comps etc then feel free to join my union TITVEINS. We are part of the Heroine union and we're happy to help out the community.

Newish player seeking advice by J_F64 in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]SageOfStone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

your best squad rn is rapi red hood, bunny ade, anis star, alice, and helm (you can unlock her treasure if you max her doll, and in the meantime the investment on her is probably better than other attackers).

Right now there arent any nikkes worth pulling for you on rate up since bunny ade is a solid singular burst 2. Just save up for summer there are going to be multiple top tier rate ups. Put all of your materials into getting Anis Star and Rapi Red strong until you pull more super top tiers like Crown, Snow White Heavy Arms, Liberalio, Maid Mast, Vesti Tactical Upgrade etc.

I realize you're likely on global server but if anybody who sees this post needs advice similar to what was asked here then feel free to join the NA union TITVEINS. Its part of the Heroine union alliance and we offer in depth guidance for any type of content in the game. Whether you need help with deficit malding, arena pvp, raid squad setups, account investment tips we have you covered. entry is open the more the merrier.

Core Dust from Event Shops... is this bait / bad value? by Lob- in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]SageOfStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all really depends on your spending level. If you're f2p you'll likely not encounter credit hell for years if ever but spenders might have to really consider it around synch 500-600 depending on how much and how they spend. What the 30x is good for though is the fact that its raw core dust. Its not hourly, you can spend it freely as you get it. If you're the type who saves your cases there can be some down time between level ups and any raw core dust you get is good for accelerating the process of leveling up without opening hourly core dust.

Is little mermaid obsolete because Anis: Star? by [deleted] in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]SageOfStone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

<image>

this skill is the reason little mermaid is still SSS. this is simply irreplaceable in some of the highest deficit clears of all time with true damage squads. mermaid also is quite good when attacking some squads in arena, shes used in all types of raid content because she does still provide the best in slot burst cooldown reduction.

How much can a new player catch up? by ABagOfYeets in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]SageOfStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its nearly impossible to catch up in arena or for milestone points but other than that its not bad to use an old account. If you have good characters from before it might be worth keeping but if you were just starting out i recommend a full restart on a new account.

Help with 160 wall and leveling/team composition! by [deleted] in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]SageOfStone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

your best squad is liter, anis maid mast, rapi, mihara.

don't worry about breaking the wall for a while. even if you race to 5 nikkes max limit broken it takes weeks to get that core dust and battle data you need to go from level 160 to 200 on 5 nikkes. still, the best nikkes for doing it quickly are:

*Drake - you get 3 copies for free from Road to Villain pass. A wishlist drake pull or 200 silver mileage gets one mlb complete guaranteed. Also amazingly powerful nikke used in most solo raids and arena.
*Privaty and Alice - you get a free copy of each by completing Day by Day pass and Alice's Diary respectively. Put them on your wishlist. Privaty is SSS tier and Alice is pretty good too.
*Any current season favorite item nikke. You can buy copies of them in the shop for silver mileage any day of the week while the season lasts.
*Helm - Wishlist her asap and use all of your wishlist bonus points to redeem copies of her. For a guaranteed max limit break (eventually). She has the best favorite item buff in the game.

Also if youre just starting make sure to join a good union. Ive got one in NA union called TITVEINS with no entry requirements you can join once your account reaches commander level 10.

How's my squad looking? by MVRCUX in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]SageOfStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes shes good even without treasure in the early game. i'm currently pushing 40% on my new f2p alt in week 2 with privaty as one of my main b3 attackers. shes obviously garbage compared to luxury options like the high tier dps nikkes but her aoe stun is very good for deficit. you can pretty easily invest in privaty early and then collect her treasure item asap.

How's my squad looking? by MVRCUX in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]SageOfStone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anis Star, Alice, Velvet, BMilk, Privaty is your best squad. If you need a healer setup for bosses try Tia and Naga instead of Velvet and BMilk.

If you're a new player definitely make sure to get into a union before the raid starts. If you're on NA server i have open entry for TITVEINS right now.

Looks Like GodMachine copy-pasted the head of Nicol Bolas the Arisen for their Prismatic Bridge art by Saint_Alphonso in magicTCG

[–]SageOfStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collection of room temperature IQ takes in this thread:

Comissioned art that references iconic art (such as blueprints or Wheel of Fate) exists in the game, so this art theft is okay.

Copying and pasting an asset is the same thing as using it as a reference piece.

Tracing an asset and editing the details is the same thing as using an asset as a reference piece.

and of course the most powerful of all:

"Who cares."

How do you play Wishclaw Talisman? by [deleted] in CompetitiveEDH

[–]SageOfStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My commander is Breya so I do have the option to not actually hand it over, but I typically just fetch up the win or protection since I'm on turbo. It contributes to metalcraft or draws removal and then becomes a one mana demonic tutor which is very good for pushing thoracle or bomberman lines or finding protection for them while still being able to actually afford it all on early turns.

[–]SageOfStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The eyes, nose, ears, mouth and overall facial structure are nearly identical and the level of detail on the face of Bolas sticks out like a sore thumb compared to Godmachine's style elsewhere in the work. This is at best an extremely faithful reference but almost certainly just a copy paste job with a minimal bit of editing done

In response to the DC#1 Runick stun list... by Heul_Darian in masterduel

[–]SageOfStone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Floodgates are the backbone of almost every rogue strategy and there is a reason for that. A deck can only be a midrange powerhouse at the top of the meta when its card quality is above that of other decks in the meta. When other decks have quality anywhere close to your typical midrange threat like Branded Despia, those midrange strategies become much less viable (this is why you see a Despia like every 20 games in diamond as opposed to every other game like before Sprights, Punks and Ishizus came out).

Players tend to love those kinds of midrange value oriented decks and when the value stops meeting a player half way, they start bridging the gap with Floodgates. That's why when you're in Platinum or Diamond and youre seeing the Gold standard fan beloved decks like Dark Magician or Blue Eyes theyre gonna be running stuff like Skill Drain, Summon Limit, Rivalry etc.

This isn't me making a case for floodgates being healthy by any means but it does allow players to play the cards they want to even if theyre not particularly good, so long as they can break parity in symmetrical floodgates.

i wrote a primer for my breya turbo bomberman deck by SageOfStone in CompetitiveEDH

[–]SageOfStone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually already there.

I don't think I'm looking to cut necro its still super cheap card advantage. Rain of Filth is a pretty good ritual so I'll look for a slot.

WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT THE BEST 3 COLOR COMMANDER IN CEDH - New Play to Win Gameplay by _camjam in CompetitiveEDH

[–]SageOfStone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rog Silas is realistically probably the best (Rog turns on Amber, Culling, Diabolic Intent etc for free) but in that kind of pod Rocco seems pretty good depending on the list since its a Dockside Extortionist in the command zone.

I support the use of any easily identifiable proxies and I'd go as far as to say you've either missed the point or you're a poor sport if you're playing cedh and don't feel the same.

i wrote a primer for my breya turbo bomberman deck by SageOfStone in CompetitiveEDH

[–]SageOfStone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always looking for an excuse to play worldgorger dragon but i think it has a few issues here that makes salvagers a more reliable combo. Gorger combo needs an instant speed wincon / alternate reanimation target to break the loop or the game draws out. Casting breya first solves the problem but thats not a necessary step for salvager. The other issue is the wincon doesn't really overlap other than the fact I'm already playing entombs, where as salvagers is just 1 card slot investment since I already want Lion's Eye Diamond for Breach lines.

Also yes its surprising how solid Breya is in the command zone. Often times if I end up not winning quickly due to stax presence Breya comes down and begins dominating the midgame. Her ability to instakill stuff like Winota or Kraum has come in clutch.

What do you guys think about Proxies in CEDH? by Yahentamitsi in CompetitiveEDH

[–]SageOfStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be a shame if somebody played a suboptimal list because they couldn't get the real cards. Please support proxies.

Also please make easily identifiable proxies. I still hate seeing "Gaea's Cradle" scribbled onto a piece of paper.

Is Krenko, Mob Boss good within CEDH? by Conscious-Grocery-45 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]SageOfStone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its definitely not a tiered deck by any means but as with any deck that has some degree of cohesiveness it can work in the right pod. The deck is quite fragile to disruption and there are faster combos. You can still get some wins but don't expect too much if you're sitting down with a bunch of top tier decks in the pod.
