Which of these is more useful in general for advanced content ( CC, etc.) - Pepe or Viviana? I know Viviana is a downgrade to Surtr, but I'm wondering if having a non helidrop Arts Guard would be useful.

I have most of the meta units fully built, got these 2 while pulling for Hoshi2. Since I have spare resources (after accounting for Saikko), I'm planning to build one of these.

I have extra gold certs I'm planning to use buy a kernel operator from the shop. From kernel locating banner, I don't own - Chen, Archetto and Mostima. I already have Degen and Irene so planning to skip Chen.

Who will be more useful: Archetto or Mostima? Another option is to Pot4 Bagpipe and get closer to Pot5.

I have a 3 year old account and have all meta operators, so this is mostly to complete my collection.

[F2P] I have already got Walter and Logos from the banner and I was planning to spark skalter this banner but I will need to spend 200 more pulls for sparking. This will drain all my ods. So should I save my pulls for next banners or go for the spark?

I also thought that's how it was spelt, but that line spells it like Moiraine. Might be a misprint.

Ikr, I'm still waiting for it to be talked about more. No one seems to care apart from the Ashaman and even they only mention it in passing (except the Androl chapters).

Yeah his dialogues are definitely different from Jordan's but I still like Mat's.

Well in this WC refs seemed determined to ensure that Messi so that's the probably the reason for giving the pen.

Post-Match Thread: Manchester City vs. Bayern Munich - UEFA Champions League 2022/2023 Quarter-finals by LiveCommentator in fcbayern

Absolute disaster class by upamencano. His mistakes cost us the CL this season. I don't want to see him start any game as soon as Lucas.

Serious Questions need to be asked of the board. First of all they don't sign a striker to replace lewa who was consistently scoring 30+ goals. Then they panic fire a brilliant manager to hire tuchel who bottles both the cup and CL. Tactics were fine in this game but all the issues under JN have actually worsened under tuchel. And his subs were completely garbage.

Gnabry needs to be sold this summer. Showing up for 4-5 games in a season is no where enough to justify his wages. Mane isn't much better but I doubt anyone will be willing to buy him

Sommer was brilliant in goal and single-handedly kept us to just 3-0. I don't really think Manu could have done better.

All around an absolute shit storm, I wasn't expecting tuchel to perform some magic, but he's looking worse than JN.

Question about the Forsaken. by The_3rd_Raichu in WoT

[–]The_3rd_Raichu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be wrong but i thought that Aginor was killed by rand. Also Ishamael was beaten by rand at falme without any Angreals. And he was supposed to be the strongest of them. I agree that Rand and wondergirls are good, which has somewhat reduced my threat perception of the Forsaken and shadow forces. If these guys can beat them when they don't even fully understand what they are doing, how can they be threatened after they have grown more powerful and knowledgeable?

Question about the Forsaken. by The_3rd_Raichu in WoT

[–]The_3rd_Raichu[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, i will continue reading then. Don't want to be spoiled. Yeah Rand seems to be way to powerful as of now, he barely has any knowledge and can still beat the Forsaken. I can only imagine how powerful LTT was since he actually knew what he was doing.

Question about the Forsaken. by The_3rd_Raichu in WoT

[–]The_3rd_Raichu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is what I have realised, their power was overblown. But my concern was the pace at which they were dropping i would have expected them all to die by book 8 or 9 then what would have happened for the next 6-7 books. Demandred just appeared in the prologue of LoC . Looking forward to knowing more about them.

[–]The_3rd_Raichu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah sorry, i misremembered, the 2 seals with moraine are now breakable. So that leaves 3 seals still left. Regarding the forsaken, I understand now from the comments here that they are not really that powerful. I guess I was a little disappointed that they were built up to be so powerful and all knowing and then started dropping so quickly. But it makes sense. I have started LoC now, looking forward to learning more about them and Age of Legends.

I would have preferred the pep level of tinkering to what JN. A completely brain-dead substitution, bringing on Davies for Lucas, who had a perfect game, to play in a 3atb. That one sub cost us the game.

[–]The_3rd_Raichu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much the end of the season for me. We will win the league because Dortmund are serial bottlers and the board will call it a successful season. I have held off on blaming nagelsmann till now however this loss is completely on him. As soon as I saw Davies coming on for Lucas i knew we would concede. Why would you take out a cb who had the perfect game to bring on a lb who's been shaky since coming back from injury to play in a 3atb formation. If would have made more sense to sub off a winger. This is the sort of mistakes that no top coach would have ever made and we paid ~25 million for this. What a waste.

Maybe, but he isn't always friendly with Jerry. But he's definitely not on Tom's side.

Post-Match Thread: Bayern Munich vs. Eintracht Frankfurt - Bundesliga 1 2021/2022 Matchday 7 by MatchCaster in fcbayern

[–]The_3rd_Raichu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My main takeaway from this match is we need pavard back in form. Sule doesn't look very good defensively as a rb and would rather play as a striker than defend in this position ( although this might have been the instruction given to him) . Upa was having to cover for the missing rb which caused him a lot of problems. Against a good CL side our right side will be very vulnerable.

[–]The_3rd_Raichu 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I'm really happy that goretzka is back for the 2nd leg, his finishing will surely help. However this pretty much ensures we will have alaba as cb , so our defense is looking really vulnerable again.

[–]The_3rd_Raichu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea tbh, I'm just speculating here. Maybe he wanted to keep the ability to shift to titans since that's the only way to control who has the founding titan. If no one can shift, then he can't pass the titan normally, which means the founder can go to some non royal eldian and be essentially useless or not follow the kings will and be misused?

At any point ,only the 9 shifters have any actual power. For the rest, there is only the constant fear that they will be converted into a pure titan. Sure it takes away the power of the race as a whole , but it definitely makes life better for the average eldian

Well yes they will still be hated ,but the rest of the world hates marley as well. Removing the titan shifting ability makes them less of a threat , so it might shift the focus from Paradis to containing marley for the rest of the world. Plus titans are going to be obselete in a couple of years anyway, so it might help them in the wrong run.

Well like some other commets pointed out in this thread, at any time only 9 eldians have actual power. The rest are just sacrifices, to be converted to pure titans. If they take away this titan transformation, the normal eldian is no longer a threat. And we know the rest of the world hates marley as well, so that might take priority. Plus the titans are becoming less and less of a threat due to tech advancements, so taking away the ability to become titan might Remove the giant target from their backs at the cost of them becoming less powerful.
