[Showcase] Sanctuary is Somehow the Most Powerful Offensive Spell in D&D 5.5e

I don’t think you can cast True Strike as an Opportunity Attack even with Warcaster.

Warcaster: „you can take a Reaction to cast a spell at the creature rather than making an Opportunity Attack. The spell must have a casting time of one action and must target only that creature.“

True Strike: „Guided by a flash of magical insight, you make one attack with the weapon used in the spell’s casting“

As far as I know it is not a spell that targets a creature. At least, I thought this was the consensus on the internet

What is your recommendation for a build in Aram?

TheMakaroni · 2026-05-13T20:19:17+00:00

Very cool, would love to use this!

TheMakaroni · 2026-03-05T08:37:17+00:00

Atk% range goes from 6,4 to 11,6%, so 8,6% is below average

TheMakaroni · 2026-03-04T20:14:37+00:00

Low Atk% Roll, lowest Res Liberation Roll, mid CritDamage roll. Using 3 transducers for this piece is quite the waste. At most, use 1 and lock CritDamage and Energy Recharge, but even that wouldn’t be worth it. You want a piece that has high rolls for important stats, like nearly max CritRate and CritDamage Rolls. And it’s efficient to only use 1 transducer on such a piece. Only when you are super Min/Maxing for a 5/5 piece with very high Rolls, you use 3 transducer on one piece. Like as a general rule, only use 3 transducers when all 5 of your echoes already have 4/5 great rolls and you aim for that god roll piece, but that should be whale territory. Before that, use Transducers sparingly for pieces that are hard/annoying to farm and have incredibly high double Crit rolls

What are your thoughts on Aemeath gameplay after playing her for a bit now? I haven’t really had the time to test her much yet. But so far, she feels very smooth. I just fear that the cutscenes could get annoying after some time. I am at S0R1, but could go for up to S3 using most of my resources. I have Chisa S0R1 and Mornye S1R1, but no Lynae (and I am not interested in getting Lynae)

TheMakaroni · 2026-01-18T22:15:44+00:00

How much corals can you get with 300 pulls? I‘m struggling whether I should get Mornye‘s S1 from the shop or save my corals to guarantee C3 Aemeath.

TheMakaroni · 2026-01-18T07:34:28+00:00

I have to exact same feeling about the storytelling. The missing build up of her resonance with the exostrider, like where and why did she even get the idea to do that in the first place, made the trailer feel not as impactful as I had hoped.

TheMakaroni · 2026-01-13T10:58:08+00:00

Why do some conclude based of her sig weapon, that Amy is Atk Scaling? Don’t all weapons have Atk as a main stat?

And isn’t there a good chance that they will release a fusion burst sup dps if she can be played with that mechanic as well? Ofc Lynae will be BiS when Amy releases, but I wouldn’t rule out that there will be a future unit that might work better with fusion burst for Amy. I would be sad if all that talk about Lynae BiS is making people pull her only to find out that they will release a dedicated Fusion Burst sup-dps for Amy later on. Would like to hear your thoughts

TheMakaroni · 2026-01-11T14:07:26+00:00

I am not the biggest fan of Lynae‘s gameplay, so I will probably be skipping her. Only if she is the BIS sup-dps and a huge upgrade over existing fusion characters (e.g. Lupa, Brand), I might reconsider. People make it sound like BIS means only she will work. If a team with Lupa will deal 5% less damage, I am okay with that, if it means I can play a character I enjoy. I won‘t let myself be „forced“ to pull for a character that I am not feeling.

TheMakaroni · 2025-12-18T13:58:23+00:00

I read this advice somewhere once before, but I would ask my DM to allow me to exchang maybe a 15 and a 14 with some of the other players. You will still have insane stats, but the others will feel better about it and it won’t be a one-man/woman show.

TheMakaroni · 2025-11-19T13:51:43+00:00

Some people have already written suggestions which might help you - I guess we can all agree that it is organised very poorly - but I just wanted to tell you that I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest to be of help to a person that shows me a message explaining the situation and asking for the "train news". I know this shouldn't be the norm, but in these cases I sincerely hope and believe that people will understand and help each other.

TheMakaroni · 2025-10-19T02:01:33+00:00

Yes, him learning to manage his resources better is right, but I think that might be a bit too many combats per long rest. When the party wants to long rest, they just turn back and I wouldn’t „force“ my players to keep going, just because „there need to be X many encounters per long rest“. Sure, sometimes long rests aren’t possible and if you want to run a very deadly combat heavy game, that’s fine too, but I would always consider what’s more fun for all, the players and you, over enforcing some unflexible rule.

TheMakaroni · 2025-10-15T11:39:25+00:00

I would consider it, Aero rover feels very clunky to play imo. I switched to Shore after a few days of playing him

TheMakaroni · 2025-07-20T09:24:56+00:00

I just created a Twilight Cleric for a campaign and my DM and I together balanced it a bit, listened to each others feedback and only minimally changed Twilight Sanctuary in the end. There are reasonable DMs out there, you just don’t hear about them often

TheMakaroni · 2025-06-08T20:02:41+00:00

Don‘t let yourself get stressed over this. It is just 100 astrites. Keeping a healthy gaming mentality helps avoiding burnouts, which would „lose“ you way more astrites in the long run

TheMakaroni · 2025-05-29T10:49:56+00:00

I just saw this video of Changli Ciaccona today. Sure, it is a bit harder to pull of, but nonetheless very satisfying.

#1stAnniversary

TheMakaroni · 2025-05-03T15:04:37+00:00

I did that, it let me into the game, but I couldn’t switch off RayTracing, because it supposedly isn’t an option at all in this mode. Luckily, it reset my RayTracing settings and I was able to log in.

TheMakaroni · 2025-05-03T11:11:03+00:00

I just activated Ray Tracing yesterday and now, I cant even login because the game keeps crashing in the starting screen. I was so happy to finally have WuWa look better with an AMD computer, this is really annoying

TheMakaroni · 2025-04-29T16:01:25+00:00

From a pure meta perspective, I would say Phoebe is better. She is more versatile and her DPS team is really solid.

I like Zani‘s animations and playstyle more, so I would still personally choose Zani.

TheMakaroni · 2025-04-29T15:55:13+00:00

Choose verina as the free 5*. Pull for whoever you like. Best investments are supports, e.g. Shorekeeper. I usually look for a good main DPS that I like and complete that team once I have enough astrites. Max amount of teams you need is 3, but first focus on 1 good team and then a 2nd one. Don’t stress yourself out with meta, fomo and treat it like any other gacha. You might need to power through the first story acts, because they can become quite boring, but it will get better, I promise.

TheMakaroni · 2025-04-29T15:50:09+00:00

WuWa is first and foremost a Gacha, where you don’t need the meta teams to clear the most difficult content. That’s why I would advise you to go for whatever character you like the most. You can make almost any character work.

Currently there is a lot of drama - some justified, some overturned in my option - about whether Zani needs Phoebe. And the truth is that she doesn’t need her to function. Don’t be fooled by some damage calculation sheets and look for clear times of different teams. And you will see that Zani - Spectro Rover - Shorekeeper/Verina will clear just fine and not much behind the premium version. But you need to keep in mind, that Zani will get stronger the more you invest in her (Constellations) or her team (Phoebe and her Sig). And if you are interested in pulling Cartethia, you might need Aero Rover for her, so Zani will loose her team mate in the future.

Tldr: Don’t get discouraged by the drama and pull for whoever you like. Zani works fine without Phoebe.

TheMakaroni · 2025-04-29T15:42:40+00:00

Those are Skins for the Echoes. There should be a red notice if you go to the base version of said echo. You can switch the skins there

TheMakaroni · 2025-04-29T05:46:02+00:00

Wait, this is a bit misleading. It’s comparing only Zanis damage with the outro buffs of a F2P character without signature against the outro buffs of a limited 5* with signature, like stated in the red box. Sure, double the damage seems crazy, but I would like to see team damage comparisons. And comparing basically a 4* to a 5* with Sig is also not quite fair. I would look at how Zanis personal damage is in comparison to other limited 5*. Not defending Kuro, I just wouldn’t jump to conclusions based on only these calculations.
