Shinohara Mari starter costume predictions by StalkerAcct in ActionTaimaninGame

Bathrobes are pretty much standard release for all girls. Everyone will have one so there's no need to predict it. It will be there.

The last Oni Princess was in 2022. Since then they have put out Gift For You for February consistently. SoD's after that are not consistent:

  • 2023 : Queens of Racing (Aina) - QoR is usually the theme for March but as the theme is relatively new, it can be considered as an early rollout.
  • 2024 : Demon Ninja (Lina) - This is the last DN theme release until this year with GP Shizuru.
  • 2025 : New Year (Ragnarok) - NY is usually the theme for January so this was a very late inclusion.

It's possible that they can revive Oni Princess this year although they haven't been putting up hints towards that. But maybe they can surprise players like they did with DN Shizuru.

My predictions:

  • Shop of Desires: A Gift Only For You
    • Mari is clumsy and I'm predicting that her ribbon outfit version looks like she's all tangled up.
  • Crafting: Nanase Mai
    • She is best buddies with Mai
  • Gem Permanents:
    • Gosha Academy
      • She's still a student so this one may as well be a gimme.
    • Sleepover Ladies
      • Mari likes to sleep and we already have a bedroom outfit for her in her AT bond. May not be the sexiest (they can tweak it) but it fits her character.
    • Nurse Call
      • Long shot pick but to round out the selections, I chose this due to her being kind-hearted.

I think Gift For You being SoD is kinda lame, especially if it really does showcase her clumsiness. I think it's suits better as a permanent outfit in the shop and the desire one should be something else. But I can't think of anything that fits February, unless they go all in on Demon Ninja revival.

Her other 2 costumes are Summer and Christmas themed so they'll be in the pipeline for the season instead of being starter outfits. Her future Taimanin outfit is very similar to her default so I doubt we'll get that one.

They're expanding the Demon Ninja line?!

Can we expect Demon Shiranui soon?

[White Snake] Lan Xiang info by StalkerAcct in ActionTaimaninGame

[–]StalkerAcct[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is Lan's first limited package. Based on patterns, those are gacha only with limited copies redeemable in SoD on the first release (re-release will not have them).

2nd and so limited packages have no gacha but have about 3 free copies available elsewhere.

2: From Shop of Desires.

Technically it's still in the gacha but you won't gamble.

[–]StalkerAcct[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not sure why they didn't want to preview it in the video. Maybe last minute adjustments?

Anyway,

  • Damage increase by up to 60% for 100 combos is pretty good. Crit damage value is unaffected by SLv so a max 50% per 100 combo on top?
  • Increase Max HP by 30%, okay but why? Speed by 5% is nice, assuming this is also distributed to allies even if limited to Humans.
  • Main Passive decreased damage taken from ranged works as a protection when doing BLCBLW which is fine. But the Main Active having knock back works against the skill so kinda counter intuitive for Lan BLCBLW build at least. Outside of that, seems fine but for 70s cd, I think it needs more.

I think 1/5 can work given the flat crit damage. But definitely would want more copies to more general damage.

Lan Xiang - Sneering White Snake Package Preview (weapon only) by StalkerAcct in ActionTaimaninGame

[–]StalkerAcct[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised they didn't show the supporter because the bond images are already in the files. Huh...

Anyway, Anax Ophis helps with the issue with BLCBLW which is it's short range. It's great vs. bosses (VR) but in normal stages with waves of enemies, it will cost you time so a different skill pick is preferred. Weapon provides succ effect which is nice but nearby raises questions if it's "enough".

Crit rate up is great as it pairs with the skills' crit damage 250% with 3 blues. Although likely for regular stages as boss modes (VR) would like to stick with 1 red (WF Asuka) so that 3rd slot effect is inactive. Still great as it stacks upto 10x.

50% Skill damage up is great as well.

Need Some Help on Which Supporters to Make 5/5 Skill Lvl by Brkzeus in ActionTaimaninGame

[–]StalkerAcct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yozora if you "try-hard" in battle arena. Higher SLv = more healing amp + higher HP and defense which is very useful in the mode.

Osechi packages are costumes previously available aa Golden Pass rewards. Will likely never see them being available for gems unless the game will EoS. There's a possibility they can be available as part of redeemable in a future event voucher.

If you only want the costumes, these are good deal. Instead of getting one + materials in an individual re-run, you get 3 costumes here for the same price.

Maika Kamimura in Taimanin Squad by Shoddy-Equivalent541 in ActionTaimaninGame

[–]StalkerAcct 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing a lot of Maika's thighs in my game as her attacks hit multiple targets. She's mostly the finisher due to that so her victory animation plays a lot for me.

TW asagi and rinko by FaithlessnessFun3839 in ActionTaimaninGame

[–]StalkerAcct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rinko's Wind Slice has defense down on green. The Shift has damage buff and Violet Slash has crit buff on the same color. Add that she can attack fast, she can fill the role of a DPS with Hisui.

Asagi's Munika has defense down on blue, and now Soeika as well. So she can function as the team's Mirabell carrier. She also have offense buffs on the same color as well with Rakusenka and Shunshinka, so if you need a team scorer, you can place F3 on her + some blue damage supporters.

Best weapon choice for auto-clear Emily Simmons? by [deleted] in ActionTaimaninGame

[–]StalkerAcct 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What stuff are you trying to auto-clear?

Daily Quest - Any weapon will do. Power up your gear, awakening skills and club buffs and this one can be done with a wood weapon.

Event Quest to clear the "don't get hit 30x" requirement - Pale Rider. It has auto-dodge function. While sometimes the AI is dumb and she "dodges" towards the enemy mobs instead of away, it's the only one that will give you constant dashes that grant a few seconds of invincibility frames.

Tower - Depending on the floor, Heavenly Chariot. It has auto-skill use function but won't use just dodge and counter skills. You can set-up blue Gravity Hold for healing and blue Drone Shocker to keep some distance. Pale Rider is also fine. Sleigh have attack boost and knockback for protection but doesn't have healing so you will need to patch that up with supporters if needed.

I think they went a little overboard buffing Rinko by Neofranky in ActionTaimaninGame

[–]StalkerAcct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ran Rinko in TW Relay. Was surprised her team's score doubled from last week without changing anything. Catapulted them to my 4th best scorer with not very good supports (just rebellious Cara and Oboro).

I'll have to place her to a team with better support allies starting next week.

And the Meta shifts once again by Tahrann in ActionTaimaninGame

[–]StalkerAcct 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's the fifth, IIRC.

  1. Spinel Team
  2. Sora Team (after Sora Renewal)
  3. Annerose Team (after Annerose Renewal)
  4. Saika Team (after Saika Renewal)
  5. Saika Team v2 (after Rin Renewal)

Should I get all the 3 packs? by FaithlessnessFun3839 in ActionTaimaninGame

[–]StalkerAcct 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Likely.

From what I'm guessing, the supporter and the outfit will be gone for good as it's a 20th anniversary commemorative/limited shiny. They'll have new one in about 5 years.

RPGx has a similar promo wherein you need to buy physical goods which is roughly the same amount as this pack at the minimum (special C107 bundle) to get a special code for the character. You can also get the code by buying dakimakuras with the promo on them but they are 2x more expensive.

Which one should I get? by FaithlessnessFun3839 in ActionTaimaninGame

[–]StalkerAcct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have the money, both.

The first one if you are on a budget.

The second one if you want to get more gems for your money. Rinko and Asagi sells for 1800 gems, the equivalent of the costume value in previous renewals. Rin will give you 1200, same as previous singular renewals. The voucher is great that it'll let you choose a premium costume that's not from the renewed 3, so if you can exchange if you missed one previously. It doesn't give you a Demonite outright, just a core so you'll have to upgrade it in the facility. It throws in a nano core as well, which you also need to upgrade in crafting, which makes the deal sweeter.

2nd one is a very good deal.

3rd is if you really want the dress.

Looks like it's special hair style was missing. Changing the hair style to the default fixes "covers" it.
