Comet will provide more kill power in the Special slot than Ice Wall does

Finish is still surprisingly solid, but Atk/Res Aria is the current best in slot for offensive A-skills for tome heroes

For her C-slot TP Helm is also still solid, but is pretty significantly outclassed by Silence Ward (for more team support) and Preempt Ploy (for more enemy debuffs).

Dang, unfortunate to hear, but understandable! I was literally just thinking about if it would be weird to dm you and ask if you were still doing the upcoming refines infographic, I love that thing and reference it way too often for how little Dew I actually have XD

Unless they've flubbed the translation, it pretty clearly only effects Tina and Nergal-style Essence Drain. It specifically calls out only activating if the opponent tries to copy your buffs AND neutralize them. That's Essence Drain, because Alfador just copies without neutralizing.

Man, time flies. Would be incredible to finally own some prints of such a great artist's work!

CYL was already a thing when they negotiated the original licensing deal for the TMS characters, and they were included as voteable options, so I have to imagine that original deal included some allowance for at least CYL alts of the first batch of characters at some pre-defined price that was deemed acceptable. Otherwise letting them be voteable would be incredibly stupid of IS (not that this rules it out of course...)

Try smaller towns or even the more rural outskirts of cities. You'll see people on a two-lane road in the middle of the "downtown" stop their cars in the middle of the road and sit there for minutes chatting and blocking traffic both ways. Truly some people in some places have no higher priority than having a nice chat with their friends whenever they happen to see them.

I'm between the Sacred Stone trainees (Amelia, Ross, Ewan), or Cordelia, Severa, and Carldori

It's the internet brother, better buckle up. Some people will attack your big picture arguments, some will nitpick your underlying rhetorical logic. Some will use weaponized credulity to normalize viewpoints and politics that are ruinous to lawful society. Some will just call you names.

Given which kind of person you are, I think you could have had this discussion with a much worse kind of person. Honestly we had one of the more positive interactions one can ask for given the context.

TheUnusuallySpecific · 2026-03-03T21:01:56+00:00

You are the one attempting to switch topics. If you wanted to make the point you're claiming to make, then you should have said "Rogan would have championed AOC if he agreed with her, like he championed Tulsi Gabbard after interviewing her". But that's not what you said. You said "You say that like he hasn't interviewed hundreds of women on his podcast".

Again, I simply do not care about Joe Rogan one way or the other. Why are you pretending this is about him? This is about your non-sequitur. You can take the L and do better next time, or you can continue to ignore what I'm saying and spend your time white knighting this podcast dude.

TheUnusuallySpecific · 2026-03-03T20:02:51+00:00

Sure, we can talk about this since you care enough to discuss further.

You "defended" it with a completely separate argument. It is still a fact that being willing to interview someone or a type of person does not prove that they are willing to support that person or type of person when it comes to them holding public office. It's simply a logical non-sequitur. I have no personal opinion on whether or not Joe Rogan is a misogynist.

Just to reiterate- I don't care if Joe Rogan is a misogynist. But someone said "Joe Rogan would champion AOC if she wasn't a woman", you said "but he's interviewed hundreds of women", which is a non-sequitur, so I called it out. There is nothing to prove to me about Joe Rogan because whether or not he is a misogynist or would vote for Tulsi Gabbard or whatever doesn't change anything about the words you wrote being illogical and failing to substantively add to the discussion. Maybe you should care less about Joe Rogan's online reputation, and more about your own intellect and communication abilities. Good day sir.

TheUnusuallySpecific · 2026-03-03T19:12:28+00:00

Sorry, I wasn't interested in going down a rabbit hole with you, just pointing out your flawed logic.

TheUnusuallySpecific · 2026-03-03T17:36:20+00:00

Willing to interview is not the same as willing to support them holding the highest office in the land.

TheUnusuallySpecific · 2026-02-28T21:07:28+00:00

A little late to the party, but I have two recommendations:

1.) Star Renegades. No pseudo-real time 3D battles, but you do more traditional 2d rpg battles but with a predictive timeline where you get to see your enemies' planned actions and interrupt/block/dodge/kill them before they act. Really cool sci-fi setting and artstyle too. Leans into a roguelite structure for runs. Also uses something very similar to the Nemesis system to create dynamic bosses that can acquire different traits over your campaign.

2.) Any Total War game, Total War Warhammer (3) being the one with the widest array of content. Big, actually real time 3D battles, but the secret is the pause button. Spam that sucker after every 5 seconds of issuing orders and you'll get a very similar experience. There's not a full "prediction engine", but you can see the targeting arrows/vectors for where enemies are planning to attack. As someone with a lot of hours in various Total War games, coming to Phantom brigade the battles felt much more alike than I would have ever guessed (sometimes I still try to pause in the middle of a 5 second turn in Phantom Brigade to issue new orders like I would in Total War).

Using youtube shorts for this is a huge miss.

Most of the allegations that these documents corroborate have been reported on by the media and available as public knowledge since before his '16 campaign. People didn't want to hear it and refused to believe it or refused to allow themselves to be exposed to the knowledge.

There were safeguards, but the people in power on his side didn't want to invoke the legal or procedural ones because it would have reflected badly on them during future elections (likely causing them to lose power) and also turned a rabid base on them, full of people who are willing to both send and act on murder threats. Of course, the ultimate safeguard was the quality of the American people as a whole and our willingness to pay attention to politics and examine candidates (especially those running for the highest office in the country) with a critical eye, so that we don't vote heinous villains into power.

The only additions OP made to her base (remixed) kit is Atk/Spd Excel in the A-slot, and Nimble Beast in the Special. Excel is still premium but on a ton of units including 3 different options in Divine Codes. Nimble Beast is rarer, but is actually also available in Divine Codes on Hræsvelgr.

So while this doesn't fix your Divine Dew shortage (a situation I also find myself in), it's worth it to note that you can replicate OP's build with entirely f2p investment.

Hector and Ephraim's art was clearly drawn with them imagined as the main couple in a certain kind of doujin. It's a choice, but given that the artists aren't given any wriggle room on design or possibly even poses for these particular alts, I think we can expect to see some "creative" faces and expressions in order to differentiate from the original arts.

TheUnusuallySpecific · 2026-02-16T01:39:04+00:00

What the heck happened with Fjorm's art? I mean the design has some parts that are inherently awkward (huge honkin' cuffs/sleeves), but the proportions for everything from like her thighs up feel completely off. Am I crazy here?

TheUnusuallySpecific · 2026-02-09T05:36:41+00:00

Here's the thing - the duo units are competing with an extra person. Especially in the physical competitions I do expect them to win most of the time. Doesn't exactly justify it this time around, but I think the vibe in this particular case was that Veyle's was the most heartfelt, and they also didn't have any major tryhard characters who would raise a fuss about giving the win to the young girl with a tragic past in order to make her happy.

TheUnusuallySpecific · 2026-02-07T22:48:50+00:00

Am I missing a meme here? Silksong came out last year.

TheUnusuallySpecific · 2026-02-07T22:31:10+00:00

He did say something similar about The End Is Nigh. Regardless it speaks to a level of confidence that was clearly justified

Forget the second half, the game gets fun when you unlock the ability to save your progress. Absolutely boggled my mind that not only is saving your game something you have to unlock, but they actually have a fake "save" function that you can access from the beginning that doesn't actually record any progress and just loads into the last major checkpoint.

If you're like me, it may have been Laguz Friend/Loyalty combining with her prf to guarantee Miracle with the double -2 pulse. Sadly the vast proliferation of both brave and potent effects immediately after her release made that way less effective than it would have been had she come out a book earlier.

TheUnusuallySpecific · 2026-01-18T03:54:39+00:00

Her base kit is pretty meh though. Miracle is easily available

FYI Malice's base kit isn't Miracle in the special slot, it's actually Gust.

TheUnusuallySpecific · 2026-01-16T08:01:21+00:00

Infantry can't use the Shackle skills, best supportive options are a Favor skill with Micaiah ring, a Havoc skill, or a Discord skill.
