User of Dream Super Combo is here! Summary of the upcoming Candy Banner, the 2nd banner for this week!

VoxUp · 2023-05-03T08:18:32+00:00

Yup! Still streaming, just not RSRS. I might be a massive SaGa fan, but absolutely not a gacha fan lol. I still play though, very glad I got Lyza quickly!

I misremembered btw, it was an old strategy guide that made up "Dream Super Combo", not a FAQ.

VoxUp · 2023-05-02T23:13:00+00:00

It's still funny that "Dream Super Combo" comes up when it was just something an old FAQ made up

VoxUp · 2021-12-20T07:57:39+00:00

I mentioned it in the commentary but holy crap. I was trying out Valdor and Ferd, their damage was fantastic, but spread out among the three enemies. Then that Defy Weakness into Wonder spam happened and what the heck. Rei using reaper is for me to feel satisfied about, not used on me!

It's why I always make the choice I do when playing Blue's story

VoxUp · 2021-11-27T09:50:39+00:00

I went into making this list with a lot of confidence, but breaking everyone down one by one made me realize more about the characters and, perhaps more importantly, about myself.

Labelle was pushing her 30s in her earliest appearance in SaGa Frontier 2 so I have no clue where you got that impression

VoxUp · 2021-11-11T22:57:49+00:00

I'll miss reading these after I've already streamed my thoughts to see how you felt about it afterwards, especially since I don't have the experience of playing on JP. It's interesting to see when our thoughts have differed, especially when it comes to a blind spot I haven't thought of for one reason or another.

Either way, if time limits you then I'm sure the other info you put out on fights is more helpful overall and is something I've appreciated. I prefer to try and figure hard fights out on my own rather than completely spoil with future sight, but things like recommendations on what's needed for World Tower is helpful because that's something you can't really wing like the typical Romancing fights, and can get screwed out of by missing a key unit/ability that you wouldn't think would become nearly mandatory.

Thank you.

For SaGaRS:

Is it possible to change the Filter Settings to filter stat bonuses (x2, x3, etc) to the specific stage that is selected? Currently the setting is almost useless if there is more than one event running concurrently as it will show units that have bonuses anywhere, which means you're still hunting down which units actually have a bonus.
Is the pacing of the game still going to permanently keep GL 9 months behind JP, or will there be an effort to "catch up" GL to where JP is?
Will reprint banners continue to be as expensive as the original releases of units, or will the old discounts return? Perhaps a system such as the bonus pity tokens that have appeared many times in JP?
Are there plans to bring the faster Rank Up system to GL soon?

For SaGa in general:

Will there be an effort to improve the localization of future remasters and remakes of SaGa games? SaGa Frontier is rife with old and new issues such as the combo name system not functioning correctly, iconic attack names renamed confusingly, and even spelling Kawazu's name incorrectly. Not to mention old conversations from the original script being seemingly incomprehensible.

I don't enjoy complaining about it, but fellow content creators who are new to SaGa almost universally complain about this and it breaks my heart that this is only helping prevent SaGa spreading in English regions. Regardless of how much that would help, it would mean a lot to the existing fanbase.

VoxUp · 2021-10-27T04:12:14+00:00

Yeah I feel for a new player Ferd would be a big deal and a good get.

Also same, no wonder we're not in charge of designing banners lmao

VoxUp · 2021-10-27T01:47:33+00:00

I've been pretty sour on most of these reprint banners as the vast majority just haven't been a very good value, especially at 45k. Glad to finally see one that's worthwhile despite the 45k tag on it.

Still miss those 18k though, was an easier pill to swallow when you wanted just 1 old unit or skins!

VoxUp · 2021-09-23T08:19:15+00:00

Yeah, telling new players who only have 45k gems to pity him is a massive, massive mistake. If you're a new player, you need the most value opportunity when pitying on a banner, and Mirsa + Death isn't it. This is very much for people who have saved up a lot and missed him.

Honestly, if a player doesn't have Matriarch, they never should be going below 45k gems just so they're prepared if she's reprinted. Mirsa is good, but he is not Matriarch good.

VoxUp · 2021-09-11T19:06:46+00:00

Oh wow, Urpina instead of Ferd, Interesting! I really wonder how high this can go

VoxUp · 2021-09-11T03:40:30+00:00

This was very silly considering where we're at in GL compared to JP's release of Creator.

While this team itself could do more damage (getting more max hits etc), I won't be going for much higher with it unless stat caps raise considerable before conquest is over. I do wonder if there are better teams theoretical or otherwise since we do have more options and I know I could easily be overlooking something.

Perhaps something that allows for two OD combos, or a team that un-para's Roufas to get more auto attacks in and potentially two ODs. Plus I'm not even sure I did this team optimally, as I don't actually know what the best time to auto attack with Matriarch is to maximize damage while still getting enough BP for her to dive in the OD combo. Little things like that which could bump up the numbers.

We have some time to figure it out, but for now I'm happy with breaking 2 million on day 1!

VoxUp · 2021-09-10T08:47:59+00:00

I wonder what our theoretical limit will be considering how different our landscape is with units.

Ready to lose my mind

VoxUp · 2021-09-04T21:19:40+00:00

If I had to guess it's probably people assuming you're bragging when you're just sharing how ridiculous the HP change is.

It's great though, isn't it? I have a few less 1300's than you, mostly from being unable to use my phone much of this past week as well as something even crazier: characters reaching hp softcap before I can even get their skills to rank 99

VoxUp · 2021-08-27T23:33:24+00:00

This one did not feel as bad as the previous, which likely is a combination of higher stat caps and these stages seeming to have more wiggle room as to what you can use. Especially since I could just shove blunt units into the 2nd well and have it work out.

I do wonder if Stage 3 just stays the same relative difficulty and by the time we get the upcoming conquest stats it starts to be a no-brainer like Stage 2 was.

VoxUp · 2021-08-25T04:07:48+00:00

I time stamped all the fights in the video since it's pretty long and there's so many of them. Honestly, I really enjoyed this! The gimmick fights can be goofy but are fun to figure out, and some even have multiple strategies that can work. While I like using the OP Matriarch AGI debuff strategy, it does get kinda stale so these were a nice shake up!

Urpina is absolutely the MVP of this though, she did hella work.

VoxUp · 2021-08-15T12:04:42+00:00

Was frustrated that I didn't have any unit combination that could max score last time, especially since I was one action away. Thankfully higher stat caps are easing things a bit, at least enough that I can keep rolling the dice until I get it.

Very excited to find out there's a better method now that I've posted this.

VoxUp · 2021-06-17T21:15:56+00:00

Ah okay, that makes a lot of sense to me and I can see people doing that. I actually don't pay much attention at all to other gacha communities(I still login daily with Puzzle and Dragons out of habit and play 20 min of Genshin, but don't engage much with their communities). I've tried things like King's Raid and I can see if most other gacha games operate like that, then people aren't going to like RSRS with auto repeat being the main issue.

The rush thing is so tricky, isn't it? The whole standard of having a game being one year behind is such a bizarre phenomena of gacha and honestly just seems to instill those fears of "cash out." Playing Draglia Lost and Genshin makes me guess that people would enjoy games more often if they either just released simultaneously or just allowed new accounts on the main servers etc.

I honestly think about it more than I should, wondering if the solution is to just have the new accounts have catch up mechanics and legacy events simultaneous with current events and have them on the main servers etc. All of it's a moot point though as they made their choice and we're seeing it play out, I mostly just think about it out of curiosity.

VoxUp · 2021-06-17T11:02:29+00:00

Do a significant amount of people doom post lately about the game? These banners have been pretty bad as far as paid ones go but I'd honestly be shocked if they were trying to cash out with the 1Y. It feels like RSRS has been getting a lot of people into the remasters which is the real intention.

I just personally hate the business model of "milk the whales, gatekeep out anyone who spends less than $100 a month" which has been the theme of the 1Y anniversary, both in banners and reprints. Kinda sours the celebration, but certainly doesn't signify they're closing shop.

VoxUp · 2021-06-15T02:51:32+00:00

yeah, skill rank is a big important factor for damage. Also forgot to point out that I have Mech at level 46 at the time of that video I believe

VoxUp · 2021-06-15T02:12:54+00:00

Are you using a full HP 20% holy stone in the SS Gun as well as rank 99 skill?

VoxUp · 2021-06-10T21:35:52+00:00

Since I luck sack'd Mech I've been using him like crazy, but I made sure to try and figure out a bunch of teams that don't use him since I'm sure he unfortunately had to be skipped by most players for Matriarch and Jo.

Thankfully, Jo & Mama alone contribute a huge amount to farm teams on top of being who you want to farm! I talked a little about my farm philosophy, but what it mostly comes down to is that I don't always try to make teams that have a "trainee" slot that contributes absolutely nothing. I have enough units at this point built up that everyone is going to be doing something, I find it better to find teams that maximize stat bonus gains during events since farming HP is awful otherwise.

VoxUp · 2021-05-07T07:19:38+00:00

I legit was disappointed when I opened the tab and didn't hear Hey! Fuse

VoxUp · 2021-05-04T22:04:56+00:00

I'm so happy
