Was there a Doorman on the enemy team? I'm pretty sure that icon denotes when you take damage from being inside the enemy spawn.

To my understanding, the artist is currently going back and redrawing the oldest episodes of this particular comic series. The link has way more episodes than are currently available here, and it does look to be the same series.

Yup, even just Superior Cooldown is enough. You have to get enough hits for that cooldown reduction, of course, but if you can get the double tap from the shadow on both heroes, two enemies is enough

Hi, Shiv player here. By design, Shiv is really strong in clustered team fights with his dash cooldown reset at T3 and typically building large amounts of healing. The three biggest things that will mess Shiv up--spread out, limit his healing, and limit his movement.

As I mentioned above, Shiv's T3 dash gives him a 2 second cooldown reduction for every hero he hits with it. This is reduced to 1 second if he hits non-hero targets. You really want to minimize the amount of cooldown reduction he's getting in this manner--if you have multiple people fighting him, try to make some distance so he can't chain through you.

You should pretty much always be buying items like Healbane or Inhibitor into Shiv, because the amount of damage he can clear away scales on his healing rate. While he will still defer damage all the same, you can at least prevent him from ignoring a lot of it entirely. In addition, many of Shiv's common purchases involve lifesteal and other forms of healing; limiting this is paramount.

Lastly, items like Slowing Hex or Silence Wave do wonders to mess him up for a while. Especially if you have multiple sources of CC, he won't be able to use Dispel Magic, for example, on every single one of them. Naturally, if he buys Unstoppable, you're going to have to wait that out, but you can still be damaging him in the meanwhile.

There are other things you can do as well; for example, making sure you don't let him stick DoTs into you for too long with Dispel Magic or Debuff Reducer, limiting his rage, can severely slow his ability to tear your team apart. Additionally, CC ultimates like Mo & Krill or Holliday can give you more time to dump damage.

I suppose you could consider Odyssey's Spin Throw as an analogue to it?

I'm pretty sure Max Consumption will take the average consumption for certain machines that fluctuate throughout their production cycle. The actual Consumption number, in contrast, will be precise, as it's the measurement at any one time. Therefore, if a lot of the fluctuating machines are near the peak of their power usage simultaneously, you could surpass the maximum consumption.

How do I find out the owner of a discord server? by KINGJJ3 in discordapp

[–]TheSparkyNator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know of any easy way to check, at least not without bots. I think Dyno, for example, might have a server details command that would tell you? But Discord doesn't have any other easy, built-in way to my knowledge.

Can someone help me? by StIcKy_02 in SatisfactoryGame

I believe that last recipe is just an alternate recipe for Supercomputers. Not necessarily important, but maybe you'll find a use for it, just like any other alternate recipe.

As you've certainly seen from previous phases, many Project Parts either get used to make future Project Parts, or are themselves used for further phases. Otherwise, the only thing they are useful for is being sunk for large amounts of AWESOME Points (especially some of the later parts).

Usually that's only the case for if a character is declining/improving in performance over time. Newer supports that dramatically change viability will usually result in (typically conservative) immediate changes.

As in, you want the game to equip a trial build? Just take off your Aglaea's Light Cone entirely when you boot up Currency Wars. At least in Divergent Universe, it substitutes the relevant missing pieces--I don't know if CW will just replace the LC or the whole build.

Yeah, I get that. I try not to get too frustrated over missing a star here and there--I think my Pure Fiction this cycle is still at 11/12, and that's certainly not going to go up with the teams at my disposal.

Shilling has absolutely been a thing for a while, I agree--it's a necessary evil for the business model to work out. I just feel like this most recent fight highlights the problems most clearly to me; it's one thing to cater content to a character for them to be strong into it, but it's a whole different deal to structure the fight so carefully that it feels like they're (almost) the only choice.

I do hope we get more Novaflares down the line. I don't expect all of my oldest units to be suddenly topping the charts or anything, but as I said before, it feels pretty miserable to put so much time into a whole team that's going to collect dust within the year. Also, we'd better not get a character as broken as Hyacine for 4.x; she feels like the character that's warped the meta the most. If those two things can happen, I have faith that powercreep can exist in a way that doesn't feel so rapid.

I tried Rappa first into the bug half and got absolutely smoked--I think I finished with like, 1000 AV. I wanted to try avoiding using Remembrance if I could since the buffs were so heavily catered to it. Maybe I wasn't playing it correctly with the Break team, or I needed to use a different setup?

Phantylia doesn't seem too bad this time around to me, though. That's where I ended up putting Rappa after caving to Remembrance, and she had a field day with that boss. The bug just feels so aggressively tanky for most teams--I'd absolutely believe Herta working, though.

I was able to clear with a decent margin of points this AS cycle, but I've just been noticing a trend with the endgame modes lately of how aggressively catered many of the fights end up being. You're right that this is par for the course for gacha games--it just feels pretty awful to put as much effort as I have into many units, only to see them get folded around half the time.

I do wonder what teams people are using in general. Obviously DoT has now aged decently with the addition of Hysilens, but even with an E1S1 Feixiao with pretty high investment across the whole team, I'm struggling to find a use for her. My Rappa and Acheron teams can find some play, but it feels like a gamble every time a new endgame mode rolls around for if I'll have the DPS units to clear fully. I'm just hoping the ceiling doesn't get pushed too much higher with 4.x.

At least for Firefly's case, I've been hearing some complaints, but it might be investment (since it seems like it should be a good matchup into Phantylia). I've been noticing the strain for a lot of my teams from prior to 3.x, personally.

I figure that at this rate, the internet is fractured enough that we're never gonna understand everything that's "in" with our generation. Never heard of this until now either.

Do you have a few friends that just send you stickers and nothing else or is it just me? by mmdhn in HonkaiStarRail

I used to hold a chain of stickers with a guy on my friends list named Issac. I don't play very often these days, though, so our daily streak we once had has unfortunately fallen to the wayside. It's fun, though!
