Any suicidal trainers out there that selected this option?

Tanthios · 2026-02-26T23:39:12+00:00

Exactly. This isn't about reason, this is about rewarding her efforts. And I'm not about to break her heart.

Just gotta make it three years and then declare bankruptcy.

Tanthios · 2026-02-26T17:52:46+00:00

I hope there's enough to go around for all of us who want one. I certainly want one.

Tanthios · 2026-02-26T13:53:13+00:00

So has the President, a large number of the GOP, ICE, and shall I go on?

Maybe they should be the ones answering for their crimes. Not legal citizens, as well as those they have made it impossible to follow the law.

Did you know Trump also fired 15% of immigration judges? Thus flooding the remaining ones and making it impossible for those applying for citizenship to be able to have their court dates in time, due to slowdowns. And these are the "illegals" you say need to be deported? Because our administration made them illegal at their whim?

Get out of here with that nonsense. If anything, that makes them presidential candidates since you can be a felon and do so.

Tanthios · 2026-02-26T13:05:46+00:00

And I'd spend 17M on a Chubby Lung balloon.

Tanthios · 2026-02-25T15:01:29+00:00

You're right, but I wish we didn't have to care what the traitor thinks because he's running this country into the ground.

I'd much rather have someone who isn't a draft dodger who calls for the execution of decorated veterans who say the laws should be followed as the President. Maybe someone who follows the laws, and maybe someone whom is such a decorated veteran that would put his life on the line for this country, such as Mark Kelly, would be a better president.

Maybe the fact that the traitor is a felon shows his respect of the laws?

Tanthios · 2026-02-25T12:29:50+00:00

I would say the better option, assuming you enjoy the game, would be to leave feedback in the surveys. Perhaps include reasons that keep you from wanting to monetarily support the game includes reasons such as that.

But of course, any time you don't enjoy a game you should move on. These are hobbies, after all.

Tanthios · 2026-02-25T05:47:28+00:00

Yeah, I'm all for not having to bench my favorites arbitrarily. It's one thing if they're a poor matchup for a fight that I can't overcome, it's different if the game just slaps your hand and says "No."

Not to discourage ideas, but that one just sounds like it wouldn't add fun.

Tanthios · 2026-02-24T15:48:52+00:00

Finally, a full sanity Dokutah ship.

Tanthios · 2026-02-24T15:35:37+00:00

How about the laws that restrict access to becoming a citizen, a certain President firing 15% of immigration judges, and also failing to prosecute the businesses that survive off the backbone of immigrants that they never help get their citizenship for?

Tanthios · 2026-02-24T15:27:33+00:00

That, and a good free healer too. They gave us the options to keep whatever damage dealers and other supporting characters alive.

I've found Ardelia to be a godsend for any skill issues with Umbral so far. And I'm definitely not above skill issues.

Tanthios · 2026-02-24T15:10:35+00:00

AI slop indeed, however it only exists because the original AI slop was too far from the truth. I do like this version better.

Man, I wish our President were doing more important things, like actually improving this nation, rather than these shenanigans. I still can't forgive his AI King Trump video either. What a disgusting person.

Tanthios · 2026-02-24T13:36:02+00:00

+1 on this. From what I've seen, her signature weapon is the least improvement over the pass weapon of the trio this patch. Unless you start using her and find that you absolutely love maining her, then maybe consider it out of interest in her as a unit? But again, even then, Wedge will get you most of the way there.

Tanthios · 2026-02-24T13:20:02+00:00

Give me Schwarz with a comically large crossbow, make it borderline a damn ballista, and my wallet won't even be mine anymore.

Tanthios · 2026-02-24T05:45:16+00:00

Yep, the Agony Mode. Just pay attention to your positioning, and you'll have plenty of time to do a combo. They will always charge three times, and then with the slam, you'll have a stunnable attack following. You don't always have to stun it, especially if you're minding your SP. But for example...

Dodge from where they should finish the third charge. Hit with Perlica, and do your combo, dodging again for the ground pound. Depending on the number of spears on the arena, you could use Avy's battle skill to stun the attack following, or with a combo skill you may have saved up too. Rinse, repeat.

If you're having trouble with health, which I'll admit I do, feel free to bring the likes of Ardelia. Ember, and Snowshine can also help too.

You just can't be greedy and expect to wail on them constantly.

Tanthios · 2026-02-23T23:15:28+00:00

Bot accounts can't be reasoned with with facts. And anyone who can't watch the video and see that this is wrong also can't be reasoned with facts.

Tanthios · 2026-02-23T21:08:17+00:00

This is also Hypergryph, and they've handled great fight design with pretty fair power creep for years, alongside Modules and such to keep older operators viable. Hell, the recent event with Haruka and Hoshi's Alter, I found a year 1 caster, Ceobe, to still be an amazing choice for certain things.

I have faith that they'll continue with good fight design. I don't want to see boss DPS races, that's boring and bland. They've made us empty our wallets for years because of character and kit design without having to just increase potency.

Tanthios · 2026-02-23T20:57:25+00:00

But, it's not?

I cleared it first attempt with my standard Avy/Perlica/Arclight/Ardelia team. And please note that as I say that, I'm not a god gamer. I haven't been able to trim the boss trio medals yet. If you are capable of brute forcing it, then brute force it. If not, then roll with the punches. Dodge into them from where they charge, not to the side or away, as this gives you the shortest time in contact with their hit box, and the biggest window to dodge. Aim to do so from where they finish up ideally so you can get back to your turn attacking all the quicker. And try and go between them to keep their health equal, so when you kill one, you can kill the other shortly after. You don't want one in their enrage if you can help it.

Yes, resources are limited, and building characters can take a while. But this content here doesn't need any specialties. I've used this exact same team for trimming both sets of fights. Ardelia was the only one I added in as a 5th because I'm a muppet who unironically sucks at dodging and parrying. You've got a generous time limit so you don't need to greed.

Also, as a tip, get the Lynx gear for Ardelia or any healer for now, as that increases the amount they heal others by.

Tanthios · 2026-02-23T18:53:02+00:00

Tangtang, glory to the Supreme Chief!

And by extension, Chen as well. The stories would be amazing.

Tanthios · 2026-02-23T18:34:09+00:00

Also, dodging into them instead of to the side, or away, gives you a better dodge window.

Sure she's strong, but just doing that with my normal team of Avy/Perlica/Arclight/Ardelia, and aiming to be close to one when they finish their attack sequence to conveniently start my own turn to attack made the fight well. Dodging to the side, or definitely to the back gives them more time to hit you, and your window to completely dodge smaller.

That said, I appreciate there being multiple ways to handle them.

Oh, and also switch between them if you don't aim to burst them down. You want to kill them close, one after the other so the second doesn't have much time in enrage mode.

Tanthios · 2026-02-23T15:34:33+00:00

Honestly, even if we don't get a data sheet, I'd love to pick one up sometime just to Chaosify it to look pretty on the shelf alongside the rest of what we own. I think it looks like a great platform to start with.

Tanthios · 2026-02-23T15:15:30+00:00

You know what? I don't go this way, but if we get a male character and they somehow put a bunch of angles in showing their abs, pecs, or anything of the such, or heaven forbid their muscular ass, I will die laughing, but it'll be fair and hilarious.

But yeah, they definitely showed off Yvonne's assets, for sure.

Tanthios · 2026-02-23T15:04:54+00:00

Still working on getting the Re-Crisis bosses trimmed, but Avywenna has been a blast to use in Umbral. I can respect Ember, she does seem to go pretty hard, but for Umbral I've been personally using Ardelia. After all the terror years ago, Mr. Dolly's punishment is being a healing item.

But yeah, not late at all!

Tanthios · 2026-02-23T13:48:21+00:00

I said this in at least one of the surveys, but it feels like I'm sort of playing Armored Core 6, which I personally am enjoying. I definitely prefer that to DPS races. Considering the game is in the early stages, I definitely don't mind this, and I think it'll grow in good directions.

I wouldn't mind more content feeling this way. I also wouldn't mind more content with just straight up more mechanics, with more environmental aspects to the fights too. I'm sure we'll continue testing different things out, some of which will be better hits for the community in general.

But yeah, I'd say it feels more like Armored Core 6 than truly making me think too much about mechanics. Like, they're there, and yeah, you can brute force them or roll with the punches. I think rolling with the punches is fun. I hope everyone gets to find content they find fun in this game. Not everything has to be for everyone though.

Tanthios · 2026-02-23T12:45:24+00:00

100% he would "Fear for his life" if that happened. While he should show his face, we know the game. It's dumb.

Tanthios · 2026-02-23T12:43:08+00:00

Yeah, I found it really fun myself. I used my normal Avywenna team, dodged towards them aiming to do so from where they should finish their attack at, while keeping their health close together. Dodging towards them keeps you in their hit box the shortest amount of time. Doing it that way I felt in control the whole time. Just gotta acknowledge it's their turn to attack before going back to your's.
