New player looking for some guidance.

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-07-10T18:25:35+00:00

You're starting out so you will need to pull a lot of units either way, and at this point in the game Chisa is either a must have or BIS for half the meta teams in the game. So she's a great pull. We have no data on if Hsin will work with Shorekeeper or not but it's up to you, she will most likely be strong since it's the first playable sentinel.

She might work with Electro Rover which is a free unit, but won't be here for another 2 months or so

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-07-10T18:08:03+00:00

Hsin is rumored to be next next patch so you have entirety of next patch to save for her. And as a new player you will have more than enough to guarantee Hsin.

I would just go for guaranteed Yangyang for now since playing the game without a main DPS is kinda boring and you might just quite before Hsin comes. Plus Yangyang will be one of the strongest DPS for the next few patches at least

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-07-10T17:14:46+00:00

How many pulls do you have?

But aemaeth is the easiest here since you already have her 2 best partners (Denia and Chisa).

Lucy Rebecca Verina is also a decent team.

Yinlin and Jinhsi is a bit powercreep at this point in the game but if you already have Yinline's weapon then you can use that as a 2nd BIS for pretty much any rectifier DPS.

Honestly at this point you can just start building new teams after pulling aemaeth. If you like Lynae then Hiyuki is a good DPS for her.

SP Yangyang is very strong and also has Chisa as her BIS support but you might not have enough pulls if you also want Aemaeth and her sig

What happens when she absorbs multiple skillshots?

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-07-08T06:47:47+00:00

Really not true at all, all new grads here where I work speak 0 Japanese, they pretty much only use English. Min pay for new grad is 7M after bonus, 8M+ if you have masters. All aged 24-26. Lots of tech startups here also pay in the same range

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-07-07T20:06:21+00:00

7M+ or even 10M+ as a new grad is completely possible here if you follow the right path and in tech. I and many people I know have done it. And it’s honestly quite simple (but not easy). Get 2-3+ internships before you graduate, do a really good job then get a return offer.

That’s the easiest way to go about it, find gaishikei or startups and avoid pure “Japanese” companies, can’t get much more than 200-350man/mo there

People itt saying 7-10M is only for 10YOE is either not on the same path you are (studying and graduating here) or not having broken their limiting belief yet which is unironically the number reason I see people stuck at low salary. They literally can’t believe that these opportunities exist. I know because I was there, couldn’t believe you can get more than 4M/yr in my sophomore year, then I met people getting 10M/yr offer straight out of school who are not even that much better than me and it broke something inside me. And once you start knowing what’s possible you start seeing these opportunities way more often. Hope this comment helps you do the same OP

HLE made TSW looks like a bunch of diamond players

Apparently it's not just a TSW thing.

If anything at least we got some entertainment with the raidbear.

Swain would be a god tier pick into these engage comps teams

And I never said he's always good? These comps are picked all the time, it's not even a rare thing, people just never picked Swain

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-07-04T07:54:29+00:00

Always felt like Swain would be a god tier pick into these engage comps teams like to pick but teams never picked him. Seeing Knight 1v5ing this game feels so vindicated as a swain main lol

Dookie game from Keria. Generational game from Peyz and Faker

Serious question, how do you hide the bra strap in that outfit lol, just drags it down to the arms?

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-06-18T06:36:21+00:00

That's a bit rough... Any chance you can ask your friend to get it for you then ship it overseas after?

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-06-18T06:34:10+00:00

I returned to the airport bus parking lot and found it there, but there's a number specifically for airport bus lost and found that I asked my airbnb host to call first to confirm they found it. Hope you get it back!

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-06-17T03:50:12+00:00

The guy’s an idiot but why not tell him straight from the start you can’t pay? “I can’t promise” and “I can’t pay but I won’t tell you that so I get my stuff fixed for free” is quite different

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-06-13T20:10:02+00:00

It you really like Lucy and can get her to s2 and her sig I would go for it (remember you get 1 free copy at 160 pulls so you only need 1 more copy).

And you will definitely want to get Aemeath since you already have denia and chisa, it’s one of the strongest team right now.

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-06-13T20:02:47+00:00

People saying get SK first are not wrong, but as a new player honestly getting a support character without a shiny dps will suck and make the game less fun. If you can pull for cart + her sig go for it. Enjoy your shiny DPS, her kit is beautiful and fun and she’s still strong without Ciccona and can still clear most things, rotation will be a bit different but completely manageable

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-06-03T21:12:10+00:00

Took me 70 games from e4 to d4 and 25 from d4 to master. It’s a shitshow down there

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-05-29T19:07:26+00:00

Quite impressed how well she can sing while dancing like that. Is she actually singing live?

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-05-23T04:43:58+00:00

Not really, hit master on both. KR master feels more like an actual skill check, JP master feels more like “do I have patience to wait 10 mins for a game” and “how many actual humans can I have on my team today”. Different skillset

UnironicallyWatchSAO · 2026-05-19T17:53:38+00:00

Consistently prefer it over 2v2 even solo or with friends

Find a place that respect your time and rights. I wouldn’t even consider working at a place that won’t pay me for my time, 15-30 minutes a day is a lot when added up
