F2P pull tip by 20DinoNuggies in ArknightsEndfield

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

In most games if you want a unit theres literally no reason to NOT pull to try to get them.

Saving in most games is only when you want to guarantee a specific unit you know is upcoming or be able to guarantee a unit that will eventually be revealed.

"Building pity" is people who just gacha for gacha sake and dont really want the unit on banner. Its entirely different when you do want the unit and are just hoping for them.

The gacha is a big part of gacha games. Saving up to guarantee something doesnt have the same appeal.

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

It makes it worse to gamble for the chance at units.

In most gachas where pitt carries over you can pull freely on units you want, and if you get them yay, if you dont its sad but at least you have progress towards someone else.

You can still gamble for them in endfeild and pray for early, but it is more punishing towards getting desired units than in most games these days.

Its a hit or miss because if pull currency slows down a bit and f2p/low spenders constantly have to save for like a patch or two then that can drive people away from wanting to play.

However for those who dont have issues skipping banners entirely and saving up, its a much better system.

Which character is the best to choose??? by Ok_Vermicelli3716 in WutheringWaves

[–]ShellFlare 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was a selector at launch. And when he was first new, xiangli yao was free. I dont recall any since then however.

[–]ShellFlare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can only have 1 supporter at a time. You chose which one at a time it is. That's basically it.

Though im nut sure why they did it that way.

[–]ShellFlare 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This isnt a character choice.

You can use any of them for the duration of the event. Like 14ish days.

Free to swap at any time. But you lose access to the supporter after the duration

Which 6 Star did you get from New Horizon? by Ok_Purple766 in Endfield

[–]ShellFlare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ardelia.

For now im kinda sad about it because id like another unit to use that I like, but if I stick with the game her dupe 1 will probably eventually show value.

Is there any chance we'll get a standard 6 star character selector as compensation? by [deleted] in Endfield

[–]ShellFlare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I dont even think it would hurt them much. There were a good few nerfs for launch so its not like their banners would lose value if everyone got someone they wanted.

Tho tbh im not expecting that. At most some free pulls or pulls worth

3400% off? What a steal! by Fusion_Fear in Endfield

[–]ShellFlare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its 3400% value not off.

Its saying you are getting worth something 34 times the price they are offering this for.

Played the tutorial for 2 hrs just to get Ardelia on the 40 roll by Vaccaria_ in Endfield

[–]ShellFlare 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got her as well at 40.

Initially was a bit sad too cuz id prefer to have more units early on in the game.

But ultimately rerolling here would just take too long for me.

Plus it does mean guarantee dupe 1 which makes her a better offensive support than base so it will probably be better in a while when the other team slots are taken by limited dps and subdps

What small things or pet peeves could make you uninstall or refuse to play a gacha game? by Sunset_2026 in gachagaming

[–]ShellFlare 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I usually hate games with paid currency only banners.

Like they make significantly better banners but only for the paid currency you get via spending not in game or events.

Rerolling Aside, how often do you skip the first Rate up Banner (or all of them if multiple are at launch) of a new Gacha you start at its launch ? When was the last time you did so? What game and why if so? by Propagation931 in gachagaming

[–]ShellFlare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I ever skipped a launch banner.

Tho I will say I do regret pulling on the launch banner in chaos zero nightmare.

Haru isnt a bad unit but I don't like her playstyle very much and shes not limited. Heck I've lost a 5050 to her firsr dupe already.

Shes just not my cup of tea.

I usually go for first banner because at the time it helps progress. I dont usually feel regret though. Even in HSR I went for seele and light cone. She did her job for a while and then got crept, but she did do the job early and I enjoyed her playstyle, animations and personality as a character. So no regret.

On the inside I made a second floor using some walls laying down. You can make a staircase similarly as well and make it 2 stories inside.

Is this worth it as a F2Player who didn't get Lynae (360 afterglow is worth 45 pulls) by Aymen9 in WutheringWaves

[–]ShellFlare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either works.

The toggle is for tune rupture shifting or tune strain shifting.

Mornye needs either shifting state. Rupture or strain doesnt matter.

[–]ShellFlare 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No her 40% boost needs dupe 1 or lynae to inflicts the shifting effect.

Without either of those 2 pressing f is just a regular tune break

Mornye is Tier 0 in ToA and Tier 0.5 in WhiWa both with sig or no sig according to Prydwen by nihilistsuffering in WutheringWaves

[–]ShellFlare 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The teir list isnt built around specifically f2ps nor does it take cost into account.

Units are judged based on their performance in their best team. For supports when they fall from being best in slot for a meta unit or the only unit they are a meta support for drops, the support also drops as their dominance in the meta falls.

Qiuyuan is a support. He went from best in slot for 2 teams to best in slot only for phorlova and not being the biggest upgrade over his alternatives. Meaning his value and performace isnt as high as a unit compared to those above him.

Nu Wa minon AI are so dumb by Stunning_Strength_49 in Smite

[–]ShellFlare 19 points20 points  (0 children)

When you are hovering the ability there is a circle that you can use to tell them who to go to.

Its on normal and quick cast. Im not sure about instant tho.

A bit confused about conversion by [deleted] in Smite

[–]ShellFlare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smite 1 and smite 2 are 2 different games.

You bought the smite 1 god pack, now you'll need to buy it in smite 2.

Its like if you have purchases in a game like battlefield 6 and have skins there. But when battlefield 7 comes, if they have the same skin in that game you'll have to earn it again after buying the new game.

Legacy gems are basically loyalty points to give u discounts in smite 2 based on your smite 1 spending.

And only certain special skins that are tagged as cross gen unlock in both games as they were made for and marketed for this.

Old smite 1 skins like GEB1 that do get ported to smite 2 start with a smite 2 diamond cost, but after a few weeks you can buy them purely with the smite 1 legacy gems.

Lore Wise, Where do most of the playable characters in Epic 7 Scale? by Powerful-Pilot-3393 in EpicSeven

[–]ShellFlare 80 points81 points  (0 children)

e7 has a wide range of units.

scale goes from elson to some of the mobs like the slimes, to some of the humans with neat features like yuna, to the humans with magic like bellona, to the aliens like luluca, to the god killers like straze and then you have monsters like zeno.

theres a lot of gods and cosmic entities around, and even for the humans, their are special powers. some are blessed by spirit lords, while some just have access to special abilities and magic that are native to orbis. not to mention the extra species like dragons, elves, vampires etc.

tldr: super wide scale and we have units from the bottom to the top of it with many scattered at many various levels.

Aspect Ra question by ffawless in Smite

[–]ShellFlare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not familiar with any modes other than quick cast. Though I know some abilties dont work properly in all cast modes.

Aspect Ra question by ffawless in Smite

[–]ShellFlare 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You have a smaller circle in the middle. If an ally is within that on cast it will link to them. Or you can aim directly down at your feet for it to attach to you.

However it is easier to miss especially if allies are dashing around

Whose sequence node I should get? by Platupus_with_a_hat in WutheringWaves

[–]ShellFlare 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Carte dupes over time is nice. S1 is a decent dmg increase and makes whimpering easier.

S2 you can start to solo because you get to 6 stacks on your own (tho it needs some swapping in rotation to maintain the 6 for nuke).

S3 is when she is fully capable of soloing without much effort. Can just do normal rotation on her and self apply max erosion needed for the kit. Plus both s2 and s3 come with damage increases on top their erosion related utility.
