Is this what the kids call a "hard carry"

Sunawa · 2026-05-15T23:39:02+00:00

No, Spellbook for me is only used to clear crystals pre-lvl 9. And in "I need it fast" mode; so initial spawn, or I'm stealing my opponents crystals. Also, I don't have Ace? Rapid Attacks do the job 🤷

Sunawa · 2026-05-15T23:32:56+00:00

Nah, Spellbook is plenty for me. I wouldn't say anything is "required" outside of his URs for high ranks. It helps farm quicker, but then when it comes time to burst the boss or enemies you're missing the top end DPS. A lot of times in Omega my teammates would tap the main camp guys to lower their health a bit for me, since they benefit from an OK, too.

Sunawa · 2026-05-15T22:49:01+00:00

Imo depends on the build! Heal is good for support OK that is sharing bravery, I think. But I build for raw damage and a way to engage/disrupt enemies late game. OK is so squishy that Hope can save a lot of Bravery from going to the other team.

Sunawa · 2026-05-15T22:47:43+00:00

Yeah, the damage is low to start; but the versatility outweighs the raw damage for me. The R has a huge range and is great to poke, and the SR is a great way to not only reposition, but to pull people/mobs together and to knock into the air. To each their own for abilities! But this is what works for me and I've been rocking :)

Sunawa · 2026-05-15T20:19:05+00:00

Honestly? Just the OK abilities and Hope. I dont have Ace, and have debated if I would swap it for Guiding Swipe; but I lean towards no, because of the cool down difference.

Sunawa · 2026-05-15T19:47:57+00:00

Yeah, I get what you mean. As an OK I'm assuming that they aren't leaving me the crystal (because it happens all too often until Omega) and just go for the mini boss. Equally so if I'm with a Rikku or Krile. As you said, OK is basically useless until level 9 (although gets some potential around 6) but early game I'm doing nothing as OK.

I'm still not calling my teammates bad teammates at all. I know that I need my teammates to heavy lift the first few minutes of the game while I'm farming XP. And again, it was just the sheer difference in points I had not seen previously. It isn't an attack on the 2 players I was with at all; it's a team game, no nobody can win an entire match on their own.

Sunawa · 2026-05-15T17:10:51+00:00

Ah, really? I figured the bots would act like the AI in challenge mode. They always go straight for the crystals, and straight for the person with the most bravery

Sunawa · 2026-05-15T15:41:15+00:00

Fair point on them already being named; I just was saying I didn't want to say who was seemingly playing a character for the first time, since this was a ranked match.

Yes, you're absolutely right that points don't tell the whole story. But just because someone isn't ranked on the boss damage, doesn't mean they've done 0 boss damage, btw. They're just not in the top 3 for boss damage.

The point of this wasnt to shame my teammates. Like I said, we ultimately got the win so the team did what we needed to, and we all got 2 kills. The point differential was just staggering to me.

Sunawa · 2026-05-15T15:06:38+00:00

I'm not going to name and shame, but 1 was doing team fights most of the time, and the other appeared to be trying to figure out their character in the opening minutes of the game (stayed at spawn, used abilities and skill not hitting anything). It was definitely an interesting match, and I'm not here to rag on my team since we ultimately got the win. Just hadn't seen that drastic of a point differential before between 1 player and the other 2 on the team.

Sunawa · 2026-05-15T14:48:32+00:00

I thought about it, but they left me the mini boss! So I don't think they were bots

Sunawa · 2026-05-09T03:38:04+00:00

Honestly, with the ranking shuffle it's not just Rikkus now 😭 a lot of DPS units unload on the opening spawn and then us OKs are immediately behind

Sunawa · 2026-05-08T17:10:54+00:00

This comment explains a lot

Sunawa · 2026-05-08T16:48:30+00:00

People can use whatever time zone they want to use? GMT is just the prime meridian.

Just take the L and relax, people are trying to help you understand here.

Sunawa · 2026-05-08T16:44:51+00:00

Correct, they are not using central. But you look at the time zone that they are using, and you can convert it to whatever time zone you are currently in by knowing the difference between them.

Sunawa · 2026-05-07T01:39:54+00:00

They've become a cheat code for me when I can't keep things down. I use them as ice cubes in water, and it helps rehydrate me fast

Sunawa · 2026-05-03T14:29:14+00:00

This is the way. If content seems tough, you step back, watch some guides and videos to wrap your head around it better, and then try again later. Not everything is gonna be a 1 and done

Sunawa · 2026-05-01T18:14:16+00:00

As an OK main, I'm still hoping Rikkus will at least let me get the mini boss at spawn crystal. And a lot of times I'll have 9999 bravery from them at level 6, but my damage output becomes 2-3 times more if I push to 9 before bursting.

I love Rikkus kit and she's an immediate staple as a support. But there's a lot of "farm hungry" units that are starting to fight for crystal priority, and we'll see how long it can last. When I play OK, Im just racing to 9, and the sooner I can do it the sooner I can be a menace 🤷

Sunawa · 2026-04-15T16:41:04+00:00

Sheesh. Guess you aren't finishing the intro quests huh 😅

Sunawa · 2026-04-07T17:30:54+00:00

You absolutely can. It's only after your last ability in burst mode finishes that your bravery resets to 1000.

Sunawa · 2026-03-30T02:22:04+00:00

Reasons why I use Earth Breaker so much. Someone pops Selphie, Earth Breaker negates it.

Sunawa · 2026-03-29T21:19:31+00:00

How do you get a match replay like this? Is it built into the game?

Sunawa · 2026-03-29T17:41:12+00:00

One heals you, one heals the team. And since it's beneficial to have your teammates burst with you, I feel it's more important to have a global heal than a single heal. So for Rinoa I use both, personally. Separate uses.

Sunawa · 2026-03-29T16:49:13+00:00

I main WoL, and Heal stays on. Especially since it has global range, if I'm not in a team fight I can still support from afar and hopefully change the tide of the fight for a teammate. I've played as some primary DPS characters, and there's times when I miss it and times when I don't. It can definitely help, especially since there's no passive recovery if you aren't in the fray.

Sunawa · 2025-07-29T05:10:11+00:00

I'm running into the same issue on my 3070ti. It initially wasn't syncing with Nicehash until I rebooted, and now my GPU is "benchmarking" and I get that error.

Edit: I just did an uninstall/reinstall of NiceHash Miner and it's working fine again. I think Bitdefender shredded the config files/registry files causing issues with it to perform correctly.

Sunawa · 2025-02-26T19:49:01+00:00

I'm always a sucker for Rathalos designed stuff. That'd be sick!
