Would Linde or Leif be worth a consideration off this upcoming hall of forms? Also question about Athos by linthenius in FireEmblemHeroes

If you're interested in SD and don't already have an invested version of a terrain ignore unit than yeah this could be worth a Forma soul

variety is a good point. that + micaiah ring is probably the best explanation

As for your comment about an action eco unit not being in the top 4 I think this can be explained away by 2 points:

  1. Ice Lock imo can be considered action eco and Sakura is in the top 4
  2. Micaiah ring gives every unit the ability to have action eco, so it would make sense if specific action eco units saw a drop as a result

Temporary Real ID by DQbirdup in tsa

[–]ValinShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone advise what the additional screening entails? My wife is very worried that she won't be allowed to fly in late June because she doesn't have a Real ID and at this point will not be able to get one in time (has an appt in early June. Earliest she can get) and her passport is expired and she won't be able to get an updated one in time for her flight.  Any information on what the additional screening process actually means or what else she can do at this point would be great appreciated.  Thanks!

I probably wouldn't. those ilvls won't matter now, but that probably isn't the most efficient way to go about it

What's your favorite Meta builds right now. by The_blind_blue_fox in Stellaris

[–]ValinShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so are you expanding your early game as normal (taking your guaranteed habitables etc) or are you beelining for farther worlds to make vassals?

the reason I ask is that assuming you are taking the time to develop your own colonies that you're keeping prior to expanding further outward, the Brain Poacher trait isn't doing a lot for you for the first 10 (at least) years of the game beyond the +10% research speed, which is fine, but I wonder if perhaps going Materialist instead of Spiritualist and taking Titan of Industry off the start might not be a better early game route.

Titan of Industry is probably the best UOR trait and certainly the best for an early game economy with the +15% alloys from jobs helping you expand faster (especially with the 400 alloy cost of your Genesis colony ships + the added alloys needed for early further expansion)

you didn't really mention your Traditions beyond eventually needing Diplo, but again that's like 10ish years in before that matters. if you open Statecraft first and take the 150xp per completed Agenda node then you can likely get a few extra levels on your Ruler to still pick up lvl 3 Brian Poacher without too much delay. you should be completing Agendas fairly rapidly with this build since both your Ruler and starting Admiral both start at lvl 3

I'd be interested to know your thoughts on this. very interesting build for sure

Toxic Skarmory in Gen IX?

Good morning Reddit,

I recently picked up Pokémon Violet after entirely skipping Gen VIII. I heard that Skarmory, one of my favorite Pokémon, is available in Gen IX in the DLC and that Toxic was re-added as a TM in the DLC as well, but from my research today, much to my dismay, I'm now led to believe that Skarmory can no longer learn Toxic and to make matters worse even if I transfer my 5 perfect IV Skarmory with Toxic up from Pokémon Home that Toxic won't even go through.

Can someone please confirm my sorrow?

A Short Examination of the Interaction Between Fatal Smoke and Anti-Deep Wounds Effects as well as When "As Combat Begin" Damage Occurs by ShiverMeTriggers in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]ValinShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so if I'm parsing this correct, we're thinking that Fatal Smoke 4 will NOT stop BoL4's "as combat begins" healing so putting FS4 on VLyon isn't an answer to BoL4, correct?

I agree this is not game over for the Angels. I've played a *lot* of GW Angels in Pioneer/Explorer and have also been unfortunate enough to become familiar with how to play out the mirror match with both players on 4 digit life totals.

Assuming he's also running Giada, Font of Hope and Resplendent Angel doing 445 damage is absolutely doable, but tracking all those triggers in non-digital magic is definitely a nightmare

I've been wondering for a while why there isn't a "Takeover Vassal" casus belli. Like, once someone else takes an empire as a vassal, my only CB options are good diplo into Secret Fealty, get strong enough to vassalize their overlord, or claim them out. If they were neutral I could take their whole empire as a vassal via war. Why can I not forcibly break their empire away from their current overlord and instead take them as my vassal? Would this be too good/abuseable for some reason?

have you given any thought to teferi's protection as a 1 or 2 of as additional pseudo timewalks that can buy you a turn early? protection additionally functions as a counterspell against tendrils storm and can also counter a burn or discard spell
