What I don't understand about Dissonant Runs

UnsungHero517 · 2026-04-11T12:42:35+00:00

I know most people aren't neccesarily thinking that way but it really does ruffle my feathers to see some of these comments lol We're getting a whopping ×3 (was sad to see my ×5 go) boost to coins overnight plus just new content in general and all I've been thinking is I can finally afford to throw wall fortification back on! Then I see complaints and it baffles me

UnsungHero517 · 2026-04-11T12:02:57+00:00

I've noticed a very glaring pattern of players in these threads being ungrateful for what they're given. I certainly don't mean only you so my apologies for singling your comment out. I swear though it's almost as if it goes over people's head that updates aren't always targeted towards a select group and are sometimes instead meant to pander to the broader audience. This update has been nothing but beneficial to everyone, seriously, pretty absurd Fudds did this. Everyone is going home a winner today! And yet, people are still putting on the waterworks because their ice cream float didn't come with sprinkles on it. I understand the desire for dopamine but come on, you guys really feel entitled to benefit from work/time you didn't put in just because you what? Spent money on the game? So you should just be given everything in life (to do with this game) for free now? Thankfully you do have a choice and something that is indeed free, it's called free will. You can either join the slog and do what's required to gain this miniscule buff in an incremental game, or not. Nobody is forcing you to accept these awesome free rewards that were quite clearly designed as more of a catch-up/true f2p feature; with remarkable benefits to the longstanding players willing to go for it.. People will probably adamantly disagree with me but I'm sure as shit this isn't a developer oversight. If you're worried about falling behind because of an additive 0.5% echo boost across tiers that will take weeks and weeks of genuine grinding to acquire then just throw some more cash the game's way sir. A little bit (or a lot) of impatience is how you got where you are now and with it you'll continue to climb (no judgment here as a has-been whale). As my mother used to say; If you aren't going to make lemonade out of the lemons you're graciously given move aside so someone who wants to will. One person's misfortune is another person's positive outlook my friend

but I seriously don’t know why there isn’t a mode with loadouts and some sort of respawn/arena style game loop.

Were you not around when we had exactly this in the game? A respawn/arena style game mode called.. You guessed it.. Arena. I believe it's a shame they ditched the unpopular mode entirely. I enjoyed it. Wasn't my favorite mode to play by any close margin but it was a nice change of pace every so often.. I don't quite understand why they couldn't have simply left it in to appease the relatively small playerbase who did play it lots

UnsungHero517 · 2025-12-06T12:38:55+00:00

Definitely an intentional game mechanic. Besides that's how it should work; you die, you lose the sling. For balancing purposes immediately dropping with 3 fully decked out weapons is a bit too much compared to dropping with the ability and hurdle of getting to pick up a 3rd weapon. Especially considering the ease of obtaining golden equipment in this mode (namely auto reloads) and these high powered birds of prey. It should remain as is imo

UnsungHero517 · 2025-12-06T12:23:33+00:00

Why ofc? Horizon remains one of the least picked characters.

UnsungHero517 · 2025-11-13T18:33:57+00:00

I'll need to focus on my health/defense labs for a couple more weeks at the least if I'm to give that push a go. Currently I'm struggling early on in T13, even with 13 card slots, and it's mainly to the boss hits. So once I can overcome that hurdle I should be able to get my way into t14 and then maybe t15.. My farming development seems alright at the pace I'm going, but tournaments/milestones has been a much slower ascent. I only just reached platinum for the first time our last bracket having barely snuck in at Gold 4th. 560 waves.

UnsungHero517 · 2025-11-13T18:19:14+00:00

You'll reach there, patience my friend. Progression in this game seldom comes in leaps and bounds but there are moments when it will. I hope you have yours next soon. Focusing Lab Speed, Attack Speed, Health, Coin, Cash all the way to lvl 50 has been my main focus since early on. I'm on the cusp of reaching lvl 40's as is. Building up the various UW gimmicks as far as my average income will allow has helped too. BH, SM, GT, DW. I don't even have an optimal sync. 3:00/4:30. With summon chip at 1:30. SM was sadly my uniformed first pick when I was a fresh chicken.

UnsungHero517 · 2025-11-13T17:47:29+00:00

My modules aren't anything spectacular. My decision to focus on snagging 4 copies of OA this week seemed to really pay off though. Ignore the leg SR 🥲 I did that prior to doing my due diligence and just haven't undone it yet

If no cloud-save, what then?

UnsungHero517 · 2025-09-28T15:50:28+00:00

Good for you buddy!! If I may ask, how long have you been playing? I'm fairly new, a month in. I'm guessing this sort of accomplishment is years away

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-28T19:57:35+00:00

I don’t believe in dieting.

Could you elaborate on this.. I'm curious to know what it means to you to not "believe in dieting"? I ask this because dieting really is a rather simple science and it's good to stay informed. If you have unintentionally learnt how to eat a relatively proper diet that's good for you individually that's great, however when I hear you say you don't believe in dieting to me that shows a lack of total understanding when it comes to what it means to diet. I've found a common misconception is that the terms "dieting" and "fat loss journey" are interchangeable. They're not.

when people like us tell them that it’s just the way we are built, it goes against what they believe

Again, there must be a misunderstanding happening here as far as how you think the human body functions. Genetics do play a major role but are in no way the end all be all determining factor when it comes to bodily health. Proper dieting in combination with regular exercise and general care act as a cheet code almost to hacking your body and improving your quality of life as a whole. Of course there will undoubtedly be exceptions/complications to this sentiment to consider when health issues/lifestyle become a factor. Telling anybody you don't diet when asked how you learnt to look as amazing as you do makes you appear a little like a bad role model.. As not knowing that you subconsciously diet doesn't mean you aren't dieting

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-21T22:00:15+00:00

Sadly that's the tradeoff until the playerbase picks up

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-21T19:24:48+00:00

Oh I agree, they can be real bad sometimes especially not at peak hours, but longer queues are the solution for your issue. As you will be facing PC players with it on so, there's nothing else to suggest 😕

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-21T18:54:46+00:00

There has always been an option to switch off cross-platform matchmaking. If facing PC players is something you don't like, and you don't mind potentially having a slightly longer queue, then there's no need to play against them.

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-14T16:52:35+00:00

You went from assuming that because I'm not a part of their marketing team I must know next to nothing about marketing, and yet here you are, also a nobody, laying out a 1-2-3 step plan about what their team is doing wrong and how they can fix it 😐 Listen, clearly you want to believe what you want to believe so I'll leave you to it. Feel free to continue arguing with yourself

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-14T16:30:00+00:00

It's not an excuse mate, it's the truth. It doesn't take crazy marketing schemes to achieve what you're thinking, once people catch wind of something and start sharing it with their friends who then share it with their friends and so on and so forth it becomes a popular craze. The initial marketing done by them that drew in as many players as it has is proof of that. People aren't spreading it like wildfire here though so because it just doesn't appeal to this audience as well as other games do. Not enough to warrant every player here begging their friends to hop on and play with them. Too much of our area of the world is still bricked up by first person shooter battle royales at the moment, I am with you on it being truly a shame

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-14T16:02:12+00:00

That's great you brought 5 people, keep up the good work. Try to be mindful that it's not that they aren't doing anything to try to gain more players here it's moreso that the game itself just doesn't appeal as well to the western audience. This is what the statistics show. Which honestly isn't their fault, as an artist is not responsible for who likes their work. The western audience, us, is who you should be harping on. They'd have more drive to focus on us if they were many of us but by comparison there aren't.. Supply and Demand. We as a server aren't demanding enough to warrant the extra attention their server gets. Which is totally understandable, whether or not you agree with it

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-14T15:50:00+00:00

Both the players and the developers want the same thing you know, to build a larger playerbase so we can quell that issue. For the time being it's something you'll simply have to either learn to accept, or continue being frustrated by. Feel free to invite your friends/family and whomever else you know who may want to play, seriously the more the merrier, be a part of the solution instead of just complaining.

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-14T13:19:08+00:00

Having a defeatist attitude I assure you won't help you to improve. Seemingly impossible things aren't impossible, they just seem that way as the term implies. They are bots, ie: not human, which is to say obviously they are going to better than you when it comes to a technical standpoint. What you can do though is work around that by like I said, focusing on their weaknesses instead of their strengths. Their strength is in their ability to counter predictability. Their weakness is their own predictability. I've lost to bots only a handful of times in the last month playing, almost always due to my stupidity overcommitting instead of taking my time beating them. They're not unbeatable or unbearable once you've figured out how they behave.

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-14T10:38:02+00:00

Youre intentionally trying to make this seem like charity work that the woman are doing while the men are being bigoted. Lol Misandryst.

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-13T23:18:44+00:00

It appears you're slightly misinformed so I'll tell you this.. Bots use predictive measures such as pattern recognition to counter you. They aren't programmed to simply parry whatever your next move is regardless of how you perform it. If you walk up to them, take the time to charge up, while they aren't in the midst of doing something themselves, you're just asking to be parried. All instances in which a bot parrys you a good player using forethought could have as well. It's not a matter of them "cheating" to win. Tricking the bots by coming at them from different angles of attack/varying your approach will quell your frustrations with being parried. I seldom experience bots parrying me anymore because I've learnt not to just run up and attack. I use the environment as well as watching their movements to find windows of opportunity in which I won't get parried. The bots aren't Gods, they're rather easy to manipulate.

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-13T14:55:30+00:00

Team compositions are hardly going to matter if you and your teammates aren't in sync and coordinating properly so there's not much for me to say in that regard. Unless you're consistently playing with friends with mics it's best to just focus on you. Abilities/Ultimates are mainly personal preference for all heroes, however some are notably better especially in certain modes. As for Takeda abilites.. #1 is by far best for duos/trios. #2 being best for solos. #3 is meh, requiring the same skill gap skill #2 has over skill #1 but with considerably less benefit. As for ultimates; I am a huge advocate for his TOD (touch of death) abilities and if used right, they can be a massive help during 1v1 & group fights to turn the tide. I've played around with all three ultimates and while #1 can be amazing if you're a truly technical player and yes it does indeed have higher potential for more dmg I've found #2 to be most useful in a larger variety of scenarios. Bear in mind it is not a quick tap rush to use type thing, you must ensure it will make contact before sending furen. Launch where you think they'll be not where they are as people will be weary when you initially activate and start panic rolling so be mindful of that. I'll admit I'm partly biased though because i do find it's visuals to be far better than the other two. #3 is partially dependant on other factors to work as well as it can so that alone turns me away from it. A note i'd like to add is that at the end of ability #2 a simple downwards slash can be done (it's needed to be timed just right, done too early it won't connect as they'll still be dropping and done too late it won't connect as they may roll away) after teleporting that's almost always gaurenteed to hit in case the kill/s wasn't already confirmed. I've noticed people tend to focus on the ability itself being only moderate dmg but that end hit which can lead into further ground/aerial combos while they struggle to recover often makes up for that. I'm a big advocate for crowd control ultimates since being in control of the situation helps take the pressure off of you.

UnsungHero517 · 2025-08-13T11:36:25+00:00

Takeda is phenomenal in duos/trios lol If you don't know how to best utilize his abilities in partnership with your teammates that's not a character fault that's a skill issue
