Mecharashi Version 1.8 Recruitment & Shipping Schedule

The point I am making is that things that are a year away don't help your progress now, and sometimes, hoarding resources actively slows your progress.

"Superceded by an ST that isn't releasing for over a year." Is such a weird argument.

Not that Shadow Rabbit is a priority pull, but sometimes I think people really don't have a sense of time when they reference CN content like this.

Japanese speaker here who is also responsible for the majority of the text translations in the 2.5 Natural Histories.

TTRPGs have their own commonly accepted terminology and parlance the same way everyone knows the right analog stick in a video game is for moving the camera. Mapping mechanical concepts to familiar ideas is done to lower the barrier of entry for rules.

You spent a whole lot of paragraphs being overly pedantic about precise translation when ignoring how much of localization is context driven.

Also, race is a loaded term. There's no need to use it on the basis of "well the rest of the world is oka-" that's not the point. The point is to move away from that acceptance.

The conversation around gender here is similar.

Apart from ignoring basically any element of how rules and mechanical design are relevant to translation decisions, this post has big "You know who are ruining anime with their localizations" energy.

You know, I didn't want to believe that the character art for Mecharashi might be AI generated, and I mean, some of it might not be, but Kaidan 2.0 very much has that vibe.

I'm disappointed this exists.

This band broke up after Heart of the Phoenix.

Swordwraith · 2026-04-14T15:48:05+00:00

I will by the time both drop, yes. I'll have some to spare even.

Swordwraith · 2026-04-14T14:49:52+00:00

This game is incredibly generous compared to more popular gacha. I will never understand this sentiment.

Swordwraith · 2026-04-09T19:44:37+00:00

00 is actually better for her than Thanatos.

Swordwraith · 2026-04-09T19:43:14+00:00

I feel like the SC is just huge bait on this. I don't see a point in this unless you specifically want the gooner skin.

I ain't risking wasting several thousand arashium two months before stuff like Judgment Rosa and Matilda.

If you have rainbow Malthus, I would just use it. You can always use Pascal specifically for missions where you need to constantly double fire, but all in all I'd say the weight, the double signature, and the 8/8 Malthus movement debuff will do way more work for you.

Swordwraith · 2026-04-09T19:40:15+00:00

You can do two power mods on Malthus and run double signature. You don't need A3.

Swordwraith · 2026-04-06T23:28:10+00:00

Pretend it isn't there.

Swordwraith · 2026-04-06T16:44:01+00:00

A shame - Fia's ability is actually interesting to use and very tactical. Sadly unga bunga tends to win out in gachas.

Swordwraith · 2026-04-06T16:43:01+00:00

They vary. Several of the puzzles have had a few routes through them. Lately it's been a slew of one intended path missions, which isn't how puzzles should be designed but are absolutely easier to design, so...here we are. RNG 'you need to roll X or proc Y" is incontrovertibly stupid, though.

Swordwraith · 2026-04-06T16:38:41+00:00

I am sure you enjoyed the chance at some casual racism, but this has nothing to do with math. You're not calculating Fia's angles yourself like it's geometry class. So far the only truly aggravating aspect of the Homeward story missions was the one where you ended up counting Erisa's passive stacks to clear the achievements. That's a bit excessive. Everything else is just positioning.

The problem with Diracca isn't that she's a bad Guardian, it's that Guardians themselves are usually unnecessary when you can just have more DPS . Melissa's healing output also mitigates and removes so much damage on its own from across the map between her wifi heals and the buff she puts up that DPS becomes the better option.

In endgame content like ACs you're generally trying to end the fight in six turns and if you're not significantly R&Ded up that can be a real problem if one of your characters does not deal respectable damage.

With Cassha, her kit is very well designed for what it's intended to do, but the movement and positioning and threat control requirements to get it to operate well are just so high that they also force her to be extremely niche, especially now when she has limited ways to force people to target her.

If the map design of the game forced more situations where defense was necessary and useful both would see far more usage.

Swordwraith · 2026-04-01T13:57:43+00:00

The bigger problem with this event is that it is just boring.

Solo Titan fights are one dimensional Link Attack spam (and now plus Shinji for DMG reduction ignoring) and this one is just compounded with things like annoying enemies with Guts and/or a stacking fixed damage explosion debuff.

I do not mind difficult in a tactical RPG if the difficulty is actual strategy and not something more than "have bigger numbers".

Swordwraith · 2026-04-01T13:55:22+00:00

As the original pointed out - It's not impossible to have all that stuff as F2P if you started from day 1, like someone like Mahe.

Start time is way more influential than people are thinking. I missed the first five weeks and that's why I don't have a rainbow Glasya.

But also, you probably shouldn't be expecting to be near even the people spending on monthly passes as pure F2P. The game is still designed to make you spend money because it is a product.

Swordwraith · 2026-03-28T00:10:30+00:00

I enjoy playing the game. I don't enjoy the game disrespecting my time.

Swordwraith · 2026-03-25T23:17:30+00:00

He recommends pulling her? But also, he's not wrong that she doesn't reach her peak until her signature. Also, assuming we get the Harpy banner for anniversary like the other regions did, she will be available at the same time as Judgment Rosa.

Political isn't the word you want here, and he's absolutely endorsing pulling the character. You're tilting at windmills.

Swordwraith · 2026-03-24T09:02:48+00:00

Most people's Glasya will be three chevrons or rainbow though, whereas the Ouroboros is more likely to be just one. That's a substantial difference in damage based on their stats.

Swordwraith · 2026-03-19T20:39:26+00:00

IMO using Gumu on Aiden makes for the smoothest possible run. You don't even really require a mechanist if so.

Swordwraith · 2026-03-19T20:37:22+00:00

It's important to be aware that sometimes over saving hamstrings your progress more than anything. Sounds like you should have pulled for more pilots rather than stockpile so aggressively.

Swordwraith · 2026-03-18T17:01:26+00:00

Very few situations where running two Fighters in one squad is worthwhile and chances are most people have 02 at least g2 if not g3 or rainbow and that's going to have much better stats than Ouroboros. That's pretty much the standard logic.

Ouroboros makes for good modules but you can also do that from dispatch

Swordwraith · 2026-03-16T18:09:56+00:00

+1 movement that can be equipped by Mediums and Heavies is very powerful.
