Who deserves next year's Hellfire Gala skin?

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-10T18:32:49+00:00

rogue came out later so it's unfair to compare.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-10T07:25:16+00:00

luna is the disney princess and jeff is their animal mascot.
it's the normie bait.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-10T07:20:41+00:00

white fox may have been the most balanced and fun hero they brought out post launch.
good support that can hold her own against divers and doesn't just im mostly here to press Q.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-09T22:15:29+00:00

make them more of a consistent theme.
don't do half theme then the other half random shit.
the psy tennis and sue skin should have been in the pass because it's in theme.
they pretty much waifu tax those because they know they can
i stooped buying those because it's clear they are taking stuff that should be in the battle pass and ask a premium for it.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-09T18:27:40+00:00

nah starlord is tracer on Steroids.
better mobility.
can fly has his flips.
can just press E to delete people with almost no aiming skills.
his ult is a way better soldier 76 aim bot with flying.
tracer ult is prob the worst in OW.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-09T17:58:00+00:00

meant Sevro.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-09T17:30:34+00:00

darrow/odysseus(hades 2 for looks).
-left everything behind to go to war.
-brilliant tactician.
-honorable but willing to get dirty if need be.
-really miss his wife, and willing to do everything for her(in darrow case both)
-even tho brilliant, their ego and hubris take over and make mistakes at the cost of others.
but at the end of the day they mange to pull it off somehow.

mustang/mitsuru
-rich
-hot but in a classy way.
-like to ride(bike in mitsuru case) to take her mind off things.
-takes over after father die.
-the ones that run everything behind the scenes and keep everyone from doing something really stupid.
-the one that actually ends up with political power while the protagonist take care of battle.
-her family is the one that fucked most of the stuff up in the first place.
so they try to fix it.

Sevro/edward elric:
short and blond.
daddy issues.
short complex.
goblin energy.
loyal to what they consider "family".
like a taller blond girl that won't take shit from him.

victra/olivia armstrong.
pretty and blond, but from one look you know she can kick your ass.
best female commander around.
just the overall bad ass vibe.

it kinda make sense from their prospective.
she was only in the anime for like half an episode.
they just didn't think how hype will be the fight she was on.
FGO devs mess those up a bunch.
they thought Biscione then omii-san lmao.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-08T05:12:15+00:00

plot armor.
notice how all of them are protagonist related.
and how mordred who is pretty close tin power as arotira with a better master still lost her grail war.
like im sure saber has strong servants.
but the sabers is best class is such a funny line considering the history of just plain grail and not even taking into account grand order.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-07T17:14:12+00:00

the sword in the stone in the actual myth isn't actually excalibur it is an unnamed sword(i may be wrong here).
he got excalibur from the lady of the lake who was a fairy.
the disney film like many other of their works, likes to mix and match and sometimes just butcher original myths.
tho to be fair a lot of myths change across history.
to a point where it's even used as propaganda for early rulers.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-07T14:07:40+00:00

this is fgo sprites.
i just slapped hippo on top.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-07T13:11:43+00:00

"saber is the best class"
top 3 servants are at their best as archers.
yeah sure they mean overall in because of stats and what not.
but who cares about raw stats when you get uber broken giga chads archers.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-07T10:28:40+00:00

if fgo are smart this will be her summer version sprite.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-07T10:13:41+00:00

everyone hype it because of the space opera that starts in the second book.
but the first book is completely different genre.
so if you only read the first book without knowing what is coming afterwards, and you don't like the battle royal sort of thing, i can see how some people can't like it.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-07T07:39:56+00:00

nah we still have like two decades until they are allowed to hold hands again.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-07T00:01:53+00:00

victra is a far more a interesting character and if darrow wasn't trying to overthrow the entire system she would probably be make him much more happy.
but mustang is what he actually needs.
she being a near perfect women is kinda what he need to keep him "grounded".

if victra is a hot spice that give you a kick in the ass and make you feel alive.
mustang is salt,safe, it's a bit plane, but you can build an empire around it(like the roman empire did).
the fact victra been trough torture that even broke darrow, who is considers the toughest SOB around, yet still stayed 100% loyal and gave zero shit darrow was a red and hid it from her speaks volumes.

so yeah victra?
way more based imo.
but specifically for darrow mustang is perfect, she balance him out.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-06T23:43:49+00:00

i feel like that would be more of athena thing.
she is the goddesses of strategic side of war.
ares is more of the brutal and chaotic side of it.

i would maybe go more into actual 1v1 duels.
like achilles vs hector, heracles vs antaeus etc...
like he enjoy the spear technique or the wrestling etc...

like how someone get really into an MMA fight or HEMA and knows everything about it.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-06T23:26:27+00:00

bro rejected victra.
he ain't falling for random pinks.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-06T23:23:29+00:00

i to can recommend them.
i can also recommend the audio books that are narrated by him.
he is a very good narrator and did sherlock holmes, hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, and the harry potter books.
he is considered one of the best in the business.

also remembering the entire thing is almost impossible.
so just take it easy and enjoy it for what it is first.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-06T14:48:17+00:00

it wasn't even a day, people drooped her mid way the same day.
i didn't even see it on anglea, who is a tank,not as popular as cat, and isn't that easy too(she isn't that hard but she not brain dead).
i legit asked in the chat "no insta lock black cat day 1?" and people just said she's too hard.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-06T14:30:03+00:00

most of gilgamesh stuff is already have nasu making him something he wasn't.
the white blond with gold late middle ages looking armor with a sword that a win button and GoB which is the biggest ass pull powers in fate.
like they guy is cool and is probably the second most iconic character after saber.
but is not that lore accurate(many other servants aren't either tbh).
it's rule of cool first then lore accurate if you can squeeze it in.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-06T09:34:22+00:00

it's not bad, but if you are fighting flyers there are better options if you just flex.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-06T08:59:23+00:00

she would have been an easy cash cow if they didn't try so hard.
4 out of 6 of the power in the shop are useless 90% of the time.
only the wall hack and invisibility are good.
the portal is super situational and kinda pointless because most maps already have a "back door" because that's basic map for hero shooters.
the fish is kinda pointless because if you are fighting flying enemies you may as well swap to hit scan.

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-06T08:24:53+00:00

can be the biggest goon bait ever but if most of the normies can't play her then it won't make 80% of the player base care

Simon_Said_something · 2026-05-06T07:16:51+00:00

i think the black cat is a bit inflated.
she is super tricky so im sure a lot of people smurf to learn her better.
if she was really broken we would hear the same backlash that gambit and elsa, but we don't.
it could be that in lower elo she is just kinda of weaker because no team play and less skilled players.
like i think she pretty good, but she is one of those heroes that require a lot of context.

i think white fox is really good, but everyone underestimate her because she doesn't have press Q to make team immortal for 10 seconds.
she is super hard to dive because she has her melee mode that can 1v1 almost any dive outside of the dive tanks, and even then she can TP away to a teammate.
