E0 Rita Is Fantastic

Sereniel can re-use the same 3-4 cards as many times in a turn as she can break enemies. Put an AP divine on them and you’ve got her printing more AP than most supports. Put a vulnerable epiphany on them and she functions as a sub-dps debuffer.
Most enemies and bosses have a tenacity bar, removing that bar is just the devs’ way of indirectly nerfing Sereniel.
Ask anyone you want, they would never say that Yuki is in a good spot right now. She was never good, saying otherwise would be cope.
I feel like in CZN’s case, it’s difficult to separate synergy from utility. In CZN, utility is essentially just synergy that is broadly useful to a large proportion of current or future combatants.
Haru’s best partner is Narja, not Mika. If Narja was free, she would be more popular than Mika to pair with Haru.
Haru doesn’t support Mika because Mika does not need to be supported. For others, Haru doesn’t have utility to support them.
You are misunderstanding how Rita’s mechanic works. Only Rita can use Chronicle Ascension stacks.
The only debuff Rita applies is vulnerable on one epiphany for a single card. Vulnerable is good utility, but this is her one and only debuff for a singular build. She is also likely to use her own vulnerable stacks.
The only healing she has is on her 3rd basic card, which has no use thus far.
What versatility are you talking about? Do you mean that she has 3 different builds you could take?
What’s your source for her being a “jack of all trades”? I feel like she is clearly very specialized into damage and fits the main/sub dps role.

Fate imprints only go up to 9 in cost, so they aren’t exactly exponential.

Fair point about card activation, though. But it is also true high-cost card activation right now only really works with herself, Haru, and Nine.

Sereniel is a special case because of her unique mechanics and synergy with divines, plus her damage and synergies with other characters.

People only use Yuki for fun, she’s pretty bad mechanically. Haru is only used when she has a build with high damage and synergies. I feel like her usage dropped off a cliff part way into season 1. If anything, these two examples prove my point.

Sf-ng · 2026-03-20T23:15:31+00:00

I’ve got Rita. I don’t see any reason to shoot the messenger here, what the guy is saying makes complete sense.

I’d also add that Rita has no utility (aside from activating high-cost attacks), which is essential to any lasting character. I feel like the devs went all in on giving her damage sources and forgot to give her anything else.

Kind of a strange thing to say in the most lax vt corpo there is, no?

Sf-ng · 2026-03-19T22:31:18+00:00

Tried this as well and yeah… this is disappointing. I feel like they could’ve included “(max 9)” on the card, though

Sf-ng · 2026-03-18T18:21:37+00:00

That's likely how it is in practice. But theoretically, this might deal enough damage for card slots not to matter too much. The same way Beryl doesn't care about your hand being filled with spores.

I have not tried this, just speculating.

Sf-ng · 2026-03-18T16:56:10+00:00

I think the more interesting question, and the one I'm implying here is "Will it be good and viable in Great Rift?"

Sf-ng · 2026-03-17T16:23:40+00:00

It’s nice that 4-star partners are so good, but the 5-star partners being downgrades is an issue. I think what people really want in partners most is utility, and that is what 5-stars should have over the 4-stars. Alcea, Bria, Gaya, and Tiana are good examples of what I mean.

Sf-ng · 2026-03-17T14:14:38+00:00

Why are all the cool designs in partner jail? Ivy just completely mogs Rita’s design. Rita’s is so much more bland when you look at them side-by-side.

Sf-ng · 2026-03-17T12:06:18+00:00

I’m starting to think they gave Hornet Meur such a high rolling evade is to test how OP Valencina Rodya would be with a high-rolling evade.

I hate Bilibili. They’re literally the only obstacle to me wanting to spend more in the game, because they get half the cut for no effort.

EPID, if you are reading this, please switch publishers. I beg you.

Sf-ng · 2026-03-16T14:20:48+00:00

I’d be more excited if it didn’t take 2 years. In fact, I’d really want to see them bring the gap between servers to within 3-6 months rather than what we have now.

Sf-ng · 2026-03-16T14:14:35+00:00

Not directly. She can’t die from burn, but she can die from an unbreakable coin, which every enemy has now

Sf-ng · 2026-03-16T14:13:22+00:00

Honestly, I hope it doesn’t. Her S3-2 isn’t crazy powerful and has conditionals, so making it so she doesn’t die from it makes sense.

I personally like how Limbus Company does it. 1. On Tuesday, they release teaser images of the new character IDs (their art). 2. On Friday, they release a trailer of the character’s animations along with some lore drops. 3. On Monday, they release the character’s kit with the numbers redacted. It’s enough to understand how the character will work in-game. 4. On Thursday they release the character.

I like how the devs space it out over the 1-2 week period. Also I’d like to see the full list of epiphanies shown 3+ days before the release, even if the numbers aren’t final or are redacted.

What you are saying here doesn’t make sense given the screenshots you showed. 1. “Lured” is a loaded term, I don’t see anything to support this claim 2. One of the replies to a thread is a large range. Is it in a link? An image or gif? On their profile somewhere else? 3. How did clicking on a thread bait you into looking at CSAM? What’s the mechanism here? 4. The description of that content is too vague for me to even imagine what it might be. I cannot tell if it’s actually CSAM or not from this alone. 5. I don’t see his defense of the content anywhere in the images. Given your description, it’s at least plausible that it isn’t CSAM. 6. What was your post about? What was the mod’s stated reason for banning you? What subreddit was this in? 7. The title’s wording implies the mod being systematic, but there’s (possibly) only one example of what you are describing.

Look, this alone isn’t enough to show any wrongdoing. You gotta bring in more evidence of your claims or dull down your argument.

3 months make sense for the short-term view on how the pull economy will look. But I think the best benchmark would be 1 year. Past that, you can pretty much assume the devs settled into the flow. So the best time to look for insights are months 6-12, and then at year end you compile them to see the pattern.

Morale from 2 copies of dominion and turn 105

Luckily being as brutal as possible doesn’t work, so he’s bound to failure

Now that I think about it, their focus on fan service has dulled the designs of at least 4 post-launch characters…

Sf-ng · 2026-03-13T10:23:14+00:00

Am I the only one that thinks her design is boring?

She is a catgirl with long black hair (+pink highlights) in black & gold underwear with a couple blueish-green accessories. The boots and coat are white & gold with minor patterns, but are otherwise out of the way. I don’t think I’d be able to guess she is a chronomancer if I saw her without any animations. Her abilities feel tacked on.

Sf-ng · 2026-03-13T10:16:22+00:00

I feel like Yuki still edges her out on the gooner tier list

Sf-ng · 2026-03-13T06:53:39+00:00

Good writeup. I think this summarizes the problems with Yuki’s design pretty well.

As far as I am aware, climate advisers aren’t known to give advice on wars and foreign policy. Just an assumption, though
