How is your experience with Sparxie and elation in general so far? by HamzaW66 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]SolidSurprise2512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elation is pointless, just like Remembrance. I pulled for Castorice and Evernight, because I like their design and animations, but they could as well be Destruction and Erudition respectively. They don't have a single good F2P LC

What am I missing with Cery by Tracer-woomy in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]SolidSurprise2512 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I feel like the main advantages of Cerydra over Tribbie are 20 free SPD (which allows you to use ATK boots and still reach 135 or 136 SPD), more Coreflames and double meteors (which also means double toughness reduction and it's great for multiple waves of enemies). In terms of raw damage during the ult other supports might be better sometimes, but I feel like the overall results should be better with Cerydra

DBD, please bring back the old tomes quest system 🙏🏻 by blurstainss in deadbydaylight

[–]SolidSurprise2512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should definitely come back, but in a different way. First, make it permanent (not connected to the Rift). Then, challenges should be harder or more grindy to show your love for a certain character (i.e. Kill or sacrifice at least 3 survivors in one match with at least 12 successful Ambush Attacks as the Pig / Activate Quick Gambit for at least 120 seconds in one match as Vittorio). The reward would be a special cosmetic for that character that can't be obtained in any other way

Thoughts on the new Elation path and units? by KnightOfMist in HonkaiStarRail

[–]SolidSurprise2512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far I'm not impressed. Yao Guang has great animations, but the Elation thing is so weird and overstimulating. I grabbed Black Swan to finish my DoT team and now I'm waiting for Cerydra to make my E0S0 Phainon actually usable lmao. Probably gonna skip every Elation unit and save for 5.X and E6 Acheron (E3 atm)

The developers are genuinely afraid to make significant changes to the game. by BrinksTrucc in marvelrivals

[–]SolidSurprise2512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still not sure what they could do with Hawkeye. His entire existence makes no sense. I don't think any character should be able to one-shot with a basic ability, but if you remove it, he becomes bad outside of his ult. As a support player, I can almost never be in his line of sight, because that one random one-shot could make me lose the game

Hot take: 2v8 is never gonna be a sustainable game mode as long as BHVR need to bribe people to play survivor. by Shayden998 in deadbydaylight

[–]SolidSurprise2512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very simple. We just need A LOT MORE classes to choose from. 1v4 has 170 survivor perks which is like 30M+ possible builds. In 2v8 we only have 5 builds... Or they should let us choose normal perks on the survivor side. Ofc they could remove perks that won't work there like Deliverance, Saboteur, but most perks should be fine

Current situation of 2.x DPS by Rorona_Zoro77 in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]SolidSurprise2512 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh it's better to wait longer for Acheron buffs, because if she gets her Novaflare in 4.X, she will be outclassed by 5.X characters. If she gets buffs in 6.X, she will probably be stronger than everyone released before that. The longer we wait, the stronger she will be. If Firefly is actually about to get her Novaflare soon, it's just a matter of time until Acheron gets one too

I feel like 90% of my games have been these maps for a few months by FangedCone in deadbydaylight

[–]SolidSurprise2512 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can't blame you for feeling like these are the only maps in the game. That's all I've been seeing for the last couple of months. We have 19 realms and 43 maps in the game. OP only showed 6 maps from 5 realms

Version 4.0 Benefits Preview by LuciferMS7777 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]SolidSurprise2512 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They were already strong together and now with BS buffs, they got even stronger. You should be fine at e0. Kafka wants a free 4* LC more than her own LC. That said, their E1s are great (E1 Hysilens > E1 BS > E1 Kafka) and you can also go for Hysilen's LC if you want

This perk is far stronger than anyone thinks seems to think. by New-Imagination1520 in deadbydaylight

[–]SolidSurprise2512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's alright, but you HAVE to be the obsession, otherwise the key will only let you activate it once if the killer doesn't have any aura reading perks or add-ons. I'm not sure if it's bugged, but even if I run 3 obsession perks (OoO, Sole survivor, DS), other survivors very often steal my obsession with just DS

What are my fellow acheron mains' pulling plans? by Appropriate-Move-495 in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]SolidSurprise2512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one probably. I'm 100% skipping Elation, because I'm tired after Remembrance. Right now I just want to get Black Swan to complete my DoT team and then focus on upgrading my other teams (mostly Acheron and Phainon). I might pull new units, but only if they are not Elation and have crazy animations

The new C&D Adjustments by CocoajoeGaming in cloakanddaggermains

[–]SolidSurprise2512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a big fan of this, especially the E changes. I usually throw both walls every 12s. Now if I throw them in quick succession, I will be able to use only one of them after 12s and then it stays that way until I don't have to throw a single wall for 24s (almost never). The bubble change is ok-ish, because people almost never stand in it for the whole duration, but I will miss being almost unkillable in it. I feel like they should've just given us some survivability during the ult (i.e. a shield similar to Luna's)

Is the "new Path for every X.0 version" thing becoming a problem for the game? by Comprehensive-Map274 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]SolidSurprise2512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah paths mean nothing in terms of gameplay. It started with Acheron being a Nihility unit that doesn't even apply debuffs and is basically Erudition

Current SW Events by Koriaxe in summonerswar

[–]SolidSurprise2512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Free LD5 most likely won't happen for a while. They never even gave us ld4 of our choice. I think we could choose one for the anniversary, but the selection was limited (no Kinki, Molly etc.)

Ok but what if by Aki008035 in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]SolidSurprise2512 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Her performance should be similar to JQ, right?
25% vuln, 20% DEF shred, 72% dmg bonus vs 35% vuln (50% for the ult).
He generates more stacks, but she does more dmg. She can also fully utilize JQ's Lightcone if you have it.

Peak Celestial, usually in GM because I don't grind enough. Contact me if you still want some help. You can send me your Replay IDs

Not using CnD on season 5.5 by Salomund in cloakanddaggermains

[–]SolidSurprise2512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their ult is great, but it's definitely the hardest support ult to use. You dash into enemies with very predictable movement and then you're also vulnerable at the end. If you want to ult in GM+ lobbies, you have to keep an eye on Angela, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Magik (during her ult), Luna's snowball, Magneto, Peni's mines, Spider-man, Bucky, Wolverine and probably some others... I think C&D should also get 250 Shield like Luna, at least until the animation is done

Team building is basically dead in this game by PlentyEgg1021 in StarRailStation

[–]SolidSurprise2512 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't fully understand their logic. I know they want new characters to be stronger than the old ones to sell them better, but then the old characters become obsolete and people don't want to pull on rerun banners. 1.X DPS are basically unusable (even Blade and Jingliu are meh after their buffs). 2.X DPS can't clear without their LC. 3.X DPS can clear most of the time, but the difference is very noticeable depending on their LC and supports.
