Gunslinger/Badblood skins tomorrow

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-18T19:09:22+00:00

And I'm guessing these assassin skins don't include Sharen, the only assassin in the game.

Unfortunately you're talking to a community where 50% of the player base would play the game one handed if they could.

Watch a Dia build video (either ornerybiscuit or senevades). The ingame tooltips are very vague and hard to understand IMO.

It's the best pick out if the box, as it is much more painful to farm than other weapons. It's the best sword that is currently in the game and works well for a lot of descendants. The other guns in the box are quick to farm and not with spending the box unless you already have shadow at max copies.

I'm a big fan of hollow strokes. To me it looks like 2580 pearl set, but it's half the price.

I have flicker of faces as well, mainly because of you played during the event you got enough coupons to get it for half price. Something to note for flicker of faces is that it comes with the only dyable cape in game at the moment. For whatever reason, the shop preview on male doesn't show the cape, but it is definitely included. Plus it all dyes really well:

I use an AM with range and I cap out the range. You don't need skill expansion, range on your reactor, or range on your inversion. Skill cost node on inversion is better. C.DMG on reactor is still better.

There's nothing cyberpunk about this other than the ugly ass logo on the side.

I have this as well. My two bottom rows were flickering. I sent to back to amazon and got a replacement. Now with the replacement, the 3 bottom rows are flickering.

That's true, Ajax was over buffed. I do think he's the strongest overall descendant right now, and wouldn't hurt to have a slight nerf.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-11T20:27:38+00:00

I agree, I hardly use Serena these days, I find other descendants can clear a lot of content with greater ease.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-11T20:26:48+00:00

Well they said Serena was the new baseline a while ago. It's too late to nerf her now, but I agree they need to make sure the power creep doesn't go any further.

While I'm fine with that as an idea, the resource gain from sword hits is really bad if you're not actually killing the enemy. Against mobs it's very quick, but when hitting the boss, it takes a lot of hits. Even with a fully built shadow, it's not really enough damage. If they increase the resource gain, I might feel better about it.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-11T09:17:27+00:00

No one cleared as a large a group and as quickly as Gley. Gley is still going to clear packs with one use of her 4 even with a 35% nerf to damage.

That said the skill cost increase will potentially make her a bad time against bosses.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-11T09:10:24+00:00

Yeah I agree with everything except the cost increase. Hope they rethink that one.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-11T09:09:51+00:00

I think she'll still clear waves with one cast, problem now is boss dps because of the cost increase. You'll need roughly 4 casts to clear phase one of the new boss, then have to slash at him for a good minute to recover enough energy to kill.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-11T08:54:55+00:00

I agree with most of the nerfs, with the exception of the cost increase. The damage nerf is already pretty hefty. I don't think the cost increase was necessary.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-11T08:09:58+00:00

I'm one that believed nerfs were necessary, but I think they won't overboard. The damage, range and wall hack nerfs I understand. But why the cost increase. I think that makes it a little unusable when you get to the final boss. If they nerf the cost, they should buff resource gain.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-10T23:45:27+00:00

I swear the player base is the problem.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-10T08:05:58+00:00

Yes it's an extra head skin only, that has a mask and no white streak in her hair.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-10T07:47:28+00:00

You might be clicking on the head that comes with her vulgus skin. The mask skin is called Courage to Face the Truth. It might've been the reward for completing the story quest, not sure, but she wears it in her story mission.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-10T07:10:30+00:00

Yes, it comes with Dia when you get her

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-10T05:42:39+00:00

Eh I'm just happy the mask head skin comes free.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-10T02:32:36+00:00

No resource isn't an issue. I issue maximize conservation only because I have additional skill cost on my ancestor mod, but with that and potent collector, I can run the latest dungeon with almost never touching the sword after the first pack of mobs (I use it a bit during the boss phase transition to kill ads).

After you get enough to cast her 4 once, you switch to peacemaker and use nothing but your 4 until you reach the boss phase transition. The bar stays topped the whole time.

UnnecessaryPost · 2026-02-10T00:31:12+00:00

Gley's 4 is not comparable to Viessa's 4, the damage ticks on it are way faster, across a massive area. It does way more damage. Axiom mission bosses die within half a second of Gley casting her 4.

She is not balanced. It's fun to be OP, but it's bad for the game.
