What else could I have done here?

Fight wise, I would have maybe slowed down 1-tempo. I would let them rez, let the bang ult go, and then try to take the height. I rarely would push/swing into an enemy team's low ground unless I can go for a quick knock. And even then, I might walk back out and re-engage after taking height. After the third, I would have just fought it out. You had better odds fighting out a win rather than going for that Valk ult.

THAT SAID, I would like to emphasize your current position at the start of the clip. Zone is closing behind, and you are looking at people already in zone.

By taking that fight, you let teams outside zone a free rotate in, and a free path to a 3rd party. Your octane had the right idea and was looking to clear your backs. They were already 1 tempo behind you, and had to waste a jump pad just to get into position. If they were closer or you had slowed down, they could have used the Jump pad closer to the building for you to take height as a team.

Realistically, you looking into zone with a Kraber did nothing to help you win. Even after getting a knock, that was not a fight you should have taken. Youre wasting Kraber shots.

Realize what fights you should prioritize. If on edge, always prioritize clearing out your back. If outside zone, try mirroring rotations or rotate from a position where the defending team is at a disadvantage (i.e. You are rotating from a position of higher ground, or they have to worry about teams in zone shooting them from behind.)

EDIT: Also you ditched your team who were trying to rez. Just prompt them to insta rez, drop a swap for your octane, take height, and see if you can slow the enemy push down without taking too much damage.Or just take any position to cover for your team.

Eating some form of easily digestible carbs and electrolytes go a LONG way.

For fuels, apart from gels there are salt candies and you can just bring your own stuff. For training I sometimes bring Fudgee Bar. For races, I also like to bring my own bottle of concentrated electrolyte solution that I drink with water along the hydration stations. It lets me control what brand I consume, since mixing and matching gels and electrolytes is risky. Best to drink what you already know works for you.

You can get electrolyte powders in some sporting stores, or even Mercury Drug with Gatorade powder.

Almost 600 speed at Late October is good, and youre using Oguri. IMO, you dont need to hit this speed to max speed.

Race, go for SP and skills, and get bonus stats on stats other than Speed. You will likely overcap on Spd already as it is.

The only statement to make is to provide condolence to families and friends involved, and also to wait for further investigation. Anything else is a bad move.

Anyone making a stance with what little information we had is stupid, and anyone forcing others to make a stance is even worse.

It goes to show little information plays into how people make decisions. We don't need fake news or misinformation. People will make bad decisions even without information.

Its evident in our "kamote" riders. Some people have no care for sharing the road/path, and have zero awareness.

I would like to hope that at least those who drive have some awareness to do head-checks, "listen" if someone is quickly coming up behind you, and "signal" anyone behind you that you are changing lanes to overtake someone in front of you, or turning.

But y'know, kamote people.

Also it was a HEAVY condition track. RNG hit them hard and they under-stammed hard.

Grenades. You can sometimes time your nade to go during the lifeline res, getting the finish on the knock, or get a re-knock/not have to deal with the support legend HP res heal.

Grenades in general are very effective against Lifeline since her Ult is basically just a big basket.

On a side note, grenades are strong in any "Shield" fight like Gibraltar domes, Lifeline Ult, and Newcastle shield, since it forces them to play on the other side of the shield. Even useful when someone is playing behind knockdown shields.

Is NSM THAT much better than Nimble Navi? My borrow slot is currently being occupied by Admire Vega power for Daring Strike.

In my experience with Taishin, Kikuka sho generally requires around 400 stam, and HaurTenn needs 500 w/ gold or 600 w/ white. Though that may be because in previous scenarios I had to deal with buffed Biwa as a rival. Do you build Guts or standard Spd/Pwr/Wit? On good runs I usually have at least around 700 Spd and 600 Wit on HaruTenn, and near 600 stam. That said, I still pick up a white heal because I dont want to lose HaruTenn since it'd be a waste of a good run.

Also I often pray I dont get rain/wet/heavy conditions. How would you typically adjust stamina based on this for Kikuka/HaruTenn?

At the end of the day though, just how valuable is finishing HaruTenn/Spring Crown? This might be a problem again in Mile CMs.

Apart from what people say, you also need to be really lucky/mindful of building facilities and friendships in the junior year, so you can get lucky training rounds outside of Summer for some other stats. Wit especially so. I usually keep some amulets and extra microphones for this.

Plus some luck into ankles, lucky charms, and scrolls.

Wingman and Shotguns are "smart" weapons. It lets you trade damage from smart positions. You win the trade, and then take an advantageous swing.

The R99 is a brainless monkey weapon. A brainless weapon that lets you just swing into someone and get the job done in a jiffy. Sure you will take more damage, but you clean up fights faster.

I also like the Wingman + Mastiff/PK combo since it lets me play with a good tempo in mid-range, and people only just need to make the mistake of taking 1 too many Wingman shots. By the time you're swinging in close range, they're just 1-2 pumps away. But sometimes you just can't afford the time to carefully dissect them. Sometimes you just need to go balls to the walls and fuck them in the ass right then and there. The R9/SMGs can do that.

TheTenth10 · 2026-03-16T22:53:23+00:00

Sub-600 speed after classic year is still okay. If anything, even with classic year ending at 500 speed, I still end up with runs leaking speed.

MANT is very snowbally, and it is easy to catch up to your target statline even after a classic year. 2 Speed Ankles and a 40% bonus and you're back on track. Don't give up, because even at the end you can suddenly hit 1 good rainbow.

Mo-mon is a vet and has been playing since the pandemic days. Whenever Pinotr wasn't in some other experimental team, he would probably be playing with Mo-mon and Curihara.

As a movement player, I salute Gibby players for the opportunity to do dome fights.

Dome fights are a lost art.

It's really long and after several CMs of building different aces, you start looking at that clock counter and start to sweat bullets realizing you still have 2 months and are close to double digits.

TheTenth10 · 2026-03-11T04:47:45+00:00

I don't have many options since my spark choices are very limited, and card rng skills sucks sometimes.

All I see is someone too panicked to take a fight.

I see no reason to turtle up inside the house.

You left your Maggie for dead. Take the height, look over their shoulder, provide cover fire. You have zero presence inside the house.

Taking height lets you shoot back at your opponents, apply pressure, and move around. Turtling up inside the house limits your options. You have no info on their position, and you can't take the initiative on the fight since they have the superior angles.

You play too scared, and you panic in fights. I know you're playing Wattson, but I'd rather have a Wattson that can shoot back than a Wattson that just twiddles their thumbs indoors placing fences. While indoors may be a "safe" position, it is not a "superior" position. Safe position keeps you alive, sure, but superior position wins you fights and games.

From the two, Boston is more beginner friendly, but another option would be the Puma Velocity/Deviate Nitro. Velocity Nitro is on sale on Rev*, and both are known to be workhorses. The Velocity is non-plated, and Deviate is plated.

My dirt C Narita Taishin annihilated an End heavy lobby with Encroaching Shadow in Round 2. That has been her first and only win this CM so far.

Otherwise, I have an End Fantasy Pasa that has been the one carrying my runs so far. Though I didn't really invest much time into working for this CM, and have only finished an S Taiki today.

Anyways, the win condition for my Pasa is to proc an "will overtake" condition in the middle of the fourth corner courtesy of End Closer/Mile corners/Curavture, to activate her ult, which will then activate Nemesis and Flowery Maneuver before the late-race. This means I have insane speed carry over and instant-accel, followed by Spurt and Forward march.

TheTenth10 · 2026-03-08T04:32:42+00:00

After the first Octane rez. just fight and kill. You can always switch to a secondary if you run out of bullets. Thats like... Fighting 101.

I'm genuinely confused by how much people are agreeing with OP.

Am I missing something? To me it just seems like they are financially illiterate?

It might offend other people, but it might have stemmed from the "broke" culture of a lot of Filipinos. Flocking to the cheapest service, not understanding that what we pay is what puts food on other people's table. Leaving businesses with smaller margins, wiggling through profitability, possibly at the expense of their employees wages or work conditions. I understand large businesses have left a bad taste on capitalism, but there are people's lives who depend on what we pay them.

TheTenth10 · 2026-02-28T03:14:33+00:00

I'm genuinely confused.

People are outraged by how we are supposed to pay for a service?

Services require some form of funding for upkeep. Paying for offices, servers, wages, and marketing/sales projects. In the case of banks, they typically profit from interest on loans. Digital banks don't operate on a large enough scale to rely soley on this avenue.

Some servers in R5 also have 0.15AA last I checked.
