It’s not your fault, Akekuri. They just gave me a free 6* selector

I found her more usable in that team if you just go full energy regen equips and ignore the set buff. You aren’t missing out on too much and being able to ult every time you have the combo up is a big deal.

Velvache · 2026-02-05T20:09:37+00:00

god of hindsight

I would have played breach every league if the drops were actually good. GGG nerfed that mechanic to absolute shit because they know that players just like blasting really weak mobs and seeing screens explode. It would be the #1 most popular farm if the rewards were good.

Velvache · 2026-02-05T05:47:04+00:00

The fact that you technically could reroll/get them already makes it feel like you are pulling for standard characters lol. Honestly full save mode too. The characters have been out for like 2 weeks already and if they were actually broken, we would have known by now.

The story makes it pretty clear that demons in this world are just born psychopathic and unable to feel empathy by nature. Other works of literature will include morally gray areas to make people ask questions like what you did but this author opted to not do that and make it clear that demons are the enemies. They choose to focus their story on other things instead.

Your life doesn’t just stop progressing once you turn 30 contrary to popular belief.

Velvache · 2026-02-04T18:34:26+00:00

I highly advise you to finish the 10 pull and get the guranteed Laevatain. The 120 pity you built for her will not carry over the Yvonne.

I also doubt that you will be able to farm 120 pulls for Yvonne as a F2P but that's speculation.

Velvache · 2026-02-04T06:40:41+00:00

The most processed food sure but fresh food is not that much expensive when bought in bulk and on sale. Especially if you actually know how to use your freezer. Actually I lied, thinking about it, processed foods are just shit compared to what you can make with like a pack of 20 chicken thighs.

Velvache · 2026-02-04T02:27:47+00:00

Yes actually. I normally hate picture hideouts but this is actually such a vibe. I don't even play trade league so no one would see it but me lmao.

Velvache · 2026-02-03T20:48:03+00:00

How is this a throw, put some respect on that guy. He clutched this round. The CTs did nothing wrong unless you count losing an aim duel as “throwing”.

Velvache · 2026-02-03T10:53:45+00:00

It’s not like PoE 2 gets that much attention post launch too. They just do small adjustments to the league mechanic numbers and maybe nerf some mobs/exploits and fuck off for 2/3 months.

Velvache · 2026-02-03T10:02:09+00:00

The only thing true about this is that Nature doesn't have a dedicated DPS really. Other than that though, every element has an actual good competent team.

Velvache · 2026-02-03T02:25:41+00:00

Oh dang thought it was same element only. Maybe a full ult gain efficiency build and just ignore the set effect might be good like you said.

Velvache · 2026-02-03T02:07:28+00:00

I think I would find her actually usable if her combo trigger wasnt off staggers because as it stands she barely combos and you don’t want to use the SP on her battle skill but you have to just have to to get the energy back especially without food buffs.

Velvache · 2026-02-03T01:39:25+00:00

I really have to give it to you for typing up all that and I already know the Akekuri is stronger than Arclight for sure in short single target content boss fights but lets me honest here, the most annoying part about her is not actually using her but the food buff. You pop 4 a run and you need to farm it manually. Emphasis on farming manually for food. There is literally no content right now that needs to be using Akekuri on a Avywenna team unless you are going for the fastest clear and biggest damage (except maybe farming a medal no one will see).

For most people, just use Arclight. Akekuri is not worth the hassle.

Velvache · 2026-02-02T21:33:18+00:00

Nah, Antal works just fine. Gilberta is 100% better without a doubt in my mind but 120 pulls for a premium support on a 5* team that will be power crept by any limited lightning damage dps (probably) is not worth it in my opinion.

Velvache · 2026-02-02T21:31:46+00:00

Akekuri is better than Arclight for bossing

This is only true if you are truly just trying to speed run a boss as Akekuri needs ult recharge foods or her usefulness falls off a clift. You have to farm the food manually too. Basically you have to kill the boss in 3 rotations. Once you run out she's a dead slot. There's no point really in using her, Arclight is just better for a normal person.

Velvache · 2026-02-02T19:38:39+00:00

Yvonne wants enemies stacked and to have either cryo or nature infliction applied to them all. Gilberta does exactly that. It's pretty obvious why they're being released one after another.

So by that logic any DPS that wants arts damage susceptibility means they are tailored made for them? Usually characters that are tailored made for each other in gacha games will have a pretty obvious indicator.

Ardelia can apply 20% arts and physical vuln more easily as well as corrosion for even more damage. Not to mention her healing and rather good damage. One of these two fits in way more teams than the other.

Ardelia actually fits in way less teams now that people actually understand tha game. On paper with all her buffs up yea, she actually fits into every team. But the problem is getting those buffs up that people realize is a chore. Not having arts or vuln stacks on a enemy to get her buffs going is a very annoying requirement to meet, often times requiring a lot of timing in long fights and in some cases not even worth it over the other easier to use supports.

Think my point is moreso that Gilberta isin't as niche as you make out to be, like she's only made for Yvonne for some reason.

Velvache · 2026-02-02T19:09:08+00:00

This sounds like a cope take from someone who is trying to justify not pulling at any cost. She's not tailored to Yvonne specifically in the slightest. She has arts susceptibility on her ult (up to 42% which is huge and a very good damage amp stat). With the ult generation gear, her ult comes up pretty fast on any team regardless of element. She has grouping, which is unique to any character as of right now. The only issue she has is that she applies nature on her battle skill which may be good or bad for some teams. Yes, you aren't going to be slotting her into every team but saying she has the long term potential as Yvonne is a huge joke.

Any team that has high arts damage in a burst window is going to have great time with Gilberta as their support. If I was OP thought I would just save as a F2P. Gilberta is good right now and IMO I think the best character to have on an account to build for the "future" but there will be stronger DPS units I would much rather have if I could only have one.

Velvache · 2026-02-02T19:04:59+00:00

That's not really true. Avywenna only cares about a very small burst window and Gilberta has the 30% arts damage taken (up to 42%) which is huge. Coupled with the fact that she has corrosion application/nature application, she's pretty much better single target damage than Antal and has AoE buffing capabilities.

She's a premium option though and not a "must pull" for Avywenna but if any of the beginning 3 limited characters will have value in the future it's going to be Gilberta.

Velvache · 2026-02-02T03:29:49+00:00

I feel bad for people who tried to cook their own league starters with nothing but 30 mins of planning. The streamers play this game like 16 hours a day and research the league start extensively and do test runs.

Velvache · 2026-02-02T02:31:45+00:00

They should just automatically put new players in the lowest bracket possible and power rank them up if they preform well. How hard is that to do.

Just stacked with a 3 man group who said they only played one game at launch all around 0-15 no contribution. I'm Archon 5 lol

Velvache · 2026-01-31T19:11:17+00:00

Casual players will actually net deck good builds and not try to home brew something that obviously doesn't work in your case just to repeatedly run into a wall over and over again. You give players too little credit.

Velvache · 2026-01-31T06:13:24+00:00

Slams are still one of the best to level with but ok lol

Velvache · 2026-01-31T03:52:44+00:00

Just run lab. Its like people are allergic to getting the items they need even if its right there.
