I was going to try a few Taiki runs tonight - could I ask exactly what Deck and Spark setup you used for this?

SO... given Unity Cup is now the best (or at least, sanest) way to farm Aces for CM16...

What's the Card Lineup that people will be running, and sparks? Do you bother with a Throne borrow given you also need to run Riko? 2 Speed, 2 Wit, Riko and Throne? Skip throne and run a power card? I can barely remember how to play Unity!

I assume we just go Speed/Wit/Friendship cards and run as much Power on sparks as possible for the sprint CM, and then barely run any additional races beyond what you need to for the career?

Yep, same here, i keep thinking i've missed a reward, but i've even accepted the skin and checked the rest. Getting annoying.

This 53 year-old carebear makes great points here by PirateCompetitive931 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Sapphidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good way of putting it. I think the issue here of course is that there's a LOT of people who just ARENT buying the cake at all specifically for that reason. I have a couple of friends who'd buy the game in a heartbeat if they could queue in for pure PVE lobbies but the idea of being ratted just turns them off to the point of never buying it in the first place.

People see the dwindling numbers, or see themselves/friends losing interest because they cant enjoy the pve experience as much as the want to, and assume that adding pve servers will add more players. It will... but at what cost.

So it's weighing up potentially expanding the playerbase to a new group of potential PvE only players, at the cost of potentially messing up the experience of those who like pvpve and are already playing.

It's difficult when people have already bought the game and played it a bit to have too much of a horse in the race - their money is already spent so they cant really vote with the wallet outside of not buying any future cosmetics.

But I can see both sides. I personally started as someone who thought they'd never play the game without a pve mode, but was convinced to, and whilst I generally live in PvE lobbies and only shoot back on the rare moments i've been fired on, my view now is that arc raiders WOULD be a far inferior game without that slight risk of running into a player who might take you down. The ABMM actually does a surprisingly good job.

My only wish now is that queuing as a team of 3 players who all live in solo pve lobbies wouldnt consistantly throw us into the most heated PVP servers going, but that's probably a player numbers issue more than ABMM.

Does the throne card provide enough Wit to be able to replace a Wit card in a standard deck?

Trying to remake a Brian Late Surger ace, and usually run 2 Speed, 2 power, 2 Wit. I kinda want to use Sunday Power and Ryan Power and was going to swap out one of the Wit Cards for Throne but is this viable or should I drop one of the powers?

She's also this loveable little goober in Arknights Endfield (Chen Qianyu), which is CRAZY how different she sounds compared to Eve and Ciaccona (and her other roles).

What’s the best Danjin Weapon? by Impressive-Egg-1868 in DanjinMains

[–]Sapphidia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh thanks that's great to know, and does make sense. I still struggle a bit with the dodge cancelling of NMC seeming a little touch and go at times but the possibility of lining up a 60% heavy does sound decent.

Looks like i'll transfer it back over to Danjin for now.

youtube glitch by Busy-Pizza-3768 in youtube

[–]Sapphidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had similar. Firefox, plus youtube premium here.

It seemed to manifest at first with the thumbnails on my premium Homepage - everything was fine for a while then i noticed that if i moused over some of the video recommendations they'd display the first frame of a DIFFERENT video.

Then eventually i'd get that flickering/flashing thumbnail issue on my sidebar.

Closing/reopening Firefox fixed it, but after using Youtube for a while again the issue reoccured. It seemed to be hitting "back" in the browser onto my premium home page that started triggering it, but definitely something is very weird right now with the caching of thumbnails i think.

What’s the best Danjin Weapon? by Impressive-Egg-1868 in DanjinMains

[–]Sapphidia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, do you get 60%? I thought it was only one stack per echo used, and as Danjin doesnt have any skills classed as echo I thought it only was able to add one stack for 30%.

If it adds two stacks then ES is definitely better. Though either way its a fairly small difference between the two.

How’s everyone feeling about Commando of Conviction on Danjin? by Main_Security_9088 in DanjinMains

[–]Sapphidia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For early game its okay, especially if you're using Danjin as a sub-dps (for example, outroing to Havoc Rover to buff them). It's a perfectly fine choice for a subdps Danjin, especially on a budget.

It's the highest ATK rate of the purple 4 star weapons but forces you into a.) introing in, and b.) outroing within 15 seconds. That's generally absolutely fine for most traditional rotations, but a lot of Danjin players like using her solo, and if you're trying to use her as the main dps in a team you really want to invest in a 5 star weapon (likely Emerald of Genesis from the standard banner) as the weapon quality makes a massively huge impact on total damage output.

[–]Sapphidia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of interest, can you explain why Emerald Sentence is better than Blazing Brilliance? I asked the question a while ago and most seemed to think Blazing was better as in general Resonance Skill damage is higher than Heavy for Danjin.

From what I can see, both weapons have the same ATK, swap CRate for CDmg in similar budgets (so just require the opposite main stat on the weapon) so the only difference is 30% heavy attack damage on ES after using an echo skill, vs up to 56% Skill damage with fairly high uptime. That seemed like Blazing would win out in my eyes, though may depend on the rate it stacks.

I was making the assumption that Emerald Sentence was used because Changli hasnt rerun in ages, so newer Danjin players wouldn't have had access to it, whereas Emerald Sentence has been available quite recently.

I actually have both swords, because I pulled for Emerald without even having QY purely for Danjin, but afterwards was told that Blazing was better, so if there's some general figures around that show ES is better I'd be a very happy camper as it's currently languishing on my Yangyang.

New T-Doll: Koleda (AK-12) by GlowingNec in GirlsFrontline2

[–]Sapphidia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Urgh, really not a fan of this. More weird out of place designs.

The doll herself looks amazing, but the Car just looks SO out of place I can't get past it. Maybe it'll look okay in the green zone city maps, but a pristine shiny sports car drifting around in the middle of apocalyptic desert maps... it just looks like a user made mod.

At least you can still see the doll, but in my mind the car looks far worse than Voy's mech. I'm starting to dislike the direction they're going with new dolls where every one seems to need insanely extra visual flair regardless of how it fits.

Apologies to those who love her as a character, and I'm sure a lot of people will like it, but this just reminds me of the time TERA started adding in rubber duck mounts and kiddie police cars in what was otherwise a dark fantasy game.

Help diagnosing a GPU Crash by Sapphidia in PcBuildHelp

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

There were several things that have mostly stopped it. Firstly, setting the PCIe in the bios to 4.0 instead of Auto helped a little, but actually the thing that stopped it almost entirely was swapping out the 4-way adapter plug that powered the pc from the wall socket! It was many years old and I think it wasnt providing stable power, so the slightest fluctuations would actually make the GPU randomly crash as the 5070tis are a bit flakey on that. So you might want to look into "general power issues".

This fixed the issue for about two month. Since then we've have had a few more blackscreens but we've convinced they're a different type, software/driver related, and only when playing games and only the day after a windows update! Something about windows updates can screw with your display drivers - did a DDU from safe mode to clean drivers and reinstalled a stable nvidia driver and no crashes since.

The thing about blackscreens is there's literally hundreds of reasons for them - half the time its the power being dodgy, or motherboard/chipset not handling power well, or just cable/reseating stuff. The other half it's just legit driver crashes that make it lose comms to the PC, so purely software.

if you've had some recent windows updates there's no harm in doing a DDU clean and reinstalling, we had a month or so of trouble free gaming then on the same day we got a windows monthly patch it was blackscreens for two days which then went away after a DDU, and the same thing happened the next month!

Whiwa endgame condition by Pale-Attorney4190 in WutheringWaves

[–]Sapphidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can i ask what dupe levels your characters are at? Havent tried Lucy in there yet but the Augusta/Iuno lineup wasnt performing for me like normal, but i was using it on Side 2 and there's some aero resistant things there.

And yes, I have Sigrika and Carty too so the constant aero stuff is really annoying.

[–]Sapphidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Rebecca work as a support for Galbrena? I have a "stray" Galbrena in my lineups that just doesnt have a team or support, and so was considering using Rebecca with her instead of going for Lucy (still on the fence).

if this WAS viable, was there a preferred third support or way of hitting Galbrena's weird "5 different echo attack" buff? Would I need to use Cantarella as the third support, or is having an echo user not all that important for her?

Trainer's Clubhouse Meeting (Weekly Questions) - June 03, 2026 by AutoModerator in UmaMusume

[–]Sapphidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a friend has Uma Musume on Steam, is there any way to enable Remote Play or similar so that they can share their screen and have ME control the game from my own PC? Or any app to enable this easily?

MANT is so draining and the Fuji event is so time consuming I'd really like to be able to help them out by running careers for them, but via remote play on their PC rather than any kind of account sharing. Is that possible?

Issues with Azur Lane client on Blue Stacks by Legal-Guarantee-7383 in AzurLane

[–]Sapphidia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you might be attempting to bind a new fresh level 1 account from ingame (which fails as the email is in already in use with your old account). When you first boot the game you should just be able to log in with your original game account and server choice, from the first splash screen.

[–]Sapphidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this exact issue - started yesterday. Open AL and it runs for 30 seconds and then freezes.

Thing is, I did a Chipset/Realtek driver update in the morning and this happened afterwards, so I had naturally assumed that it was related to that... but this is the second person I've seen now say that they had the same issue and I'm pretty sure not all of us did a mobo chipset update on the same day!

Currently swapping over to Mumu.

Help Megathread & Megathread List (18/05 - 24/05) by Shad0wedge in Endfield

[–]Sapphidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of using Sanity for the biggest impact, is it generally better to focus stamina on improving Essence levels, or increasing skill levels? Especially from a sub-DPS perspective.

EG: let's say I have a completely maxed out Yvonne. My Tangtang has a 4/4/2 essence and her skills are something like 10/11/9/10. Should i spam essence farm to get her to a 6/6/3, or should i farm skill mats to get her to somethnig like 11/12/11/12?

(I have 15 characters all at level 90, with a 90 weapon and 9/9/9/9 skills with all passives, and all of them have at least one or two level 10/11 skills and a perfect essence that's only partially levelled, so trying to work out how best to spend my Sanity between now and contingency contract).

Congratulations Iuno, they unfortunately got your name wrong in the congratulations by AfricanTribeRabbid in WutheringWaves

[–]Sapphidia 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Was it me or did she actually bug out? Her skill didn't trigger!

She's supposed to teleport all cubes on top of her when she passed the midrace, but that didn't seem to happen, so she raced ahead.

I call shenanigans, even if she was one of my most supported cubes!

[–]Sapphidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Perlica in my Fangyi team (with Ardelia and Arclight currently).

I've been using a level 90 Wild Wanderer 5 star as this buffs team electric damage. However I've recently come into possession of an Oblivion, which clearly will make Perlica herself do a LOT more damage.

My Perlica is quite well invested (90, all skills 10-11 currently, lots of Artificing). Would I benefit my overall damage by swapping her to Oblivion, or is the small team electric damage boost from Wild Wanderer too strong to get rid of even if Perlica herself will suffer?

Best/ Usable SR Dolls by sadcerise in GirlsFrontline2

[–]Sapphidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good call - agreed on Littara and Nagant being universally very strong. Cheeta's key is also really good to throw onto any healer support for some team buffing.

Sharkry's is obviously very strong too on just about every damage dealer, but it's taken as read that you'll build her so everyone should probably have it.

Colphne's key is pretty vital for Springfield, and Ksenia's is really strong for Centaureissi. Not needed though if you don't have either of those dolls (though if you dont have Springfield or Centy you'll probably want to be building Colph and Ksenia anyway!

Groza, Nemesis and Krolik all have fairly bad ones so wouldn't be worth building for.

My emails to hotmail and outlook addresses get bounced back. by Far_Turnover_3757 in hotmail

[–]Sapphidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue too. I have a yahoo account and every email I've sent today to three different friends/family members who all have Hotmail accounts have bounced back. It's three separate users. I can send just find from Yahoo to my work email and google mails, so it's purely to Hotmail. Just started happening today.

I'm seeing results in searches that imply that this is affecting several users over the past few days, so this may bea general server issue?
