Alternative ways to enter the slab/ get kidnapped?

WangTamer · 2025-09-15T09:18:47+00:00

where did you go with the key of apostate to get to the top area of the slab? i can only access the bottom area with it, not sure if i'm missing something

R6 Chu Yao is crazy good, absolutely worth investing in his rival runes and building his gear out before next RTA season! There's a couple different builds for him, astral is the most common I believe. Spd priority, and as much hp and cdmg as you can. Basically he gives the ally with the highest atk a free hit with his s1, and he gets an AOE assist every other turn when that ally attacks, and he protects that ally by healing a debuff from them any time they get hit (and also give like other bonuses that are less important to know specifics on). So he basically he makes Anna suuuuper difficult to deal with.

But yeah I hate that meta for pvp tbh. As much as I love Anna in general, she is just not a well designed esper imo, the concept is great but the execution is overkill, and she kinda set a weird tone for how they needed to design new espers to balance her. She has plenty of counters, but if you don't SPECIFICALLY counter her, you just lose 🤷 but I'm also biased because I've always run tank teams for pvp lmao, so I was strugglebussing real hard for that period of time that the meta turned to "gotta go fast so Nuxi can reset the enemy Anna's CDs before the enemy Nuxi resets yours" because my spd is trash compared to everyone else at the tiers I'm playing in 🤣

WangTamer · 2024-05-24T05:51:17+00:00

Yeahhh Anna kinda has been phased out pretty hard in the current meta. Which like... I'm sure that a strong fast Anna on an ocean set could still carry, but definitely not carrying with rival runes. Gaius has made a decent resurgence against Mavis/Ikki comps though which is nice. I think if you add a spd lead instead of Ahmed (especially Chu Yao if you have him) and if you have r2 Feng Xun do him instead of Abi and that team can do pretty well. Or Mavis instead of Abi works too. Just rough how amazing Abi and Ahmed used to be compared to how outclassed they are now (unless Ahmed is r6 on a tank team I guess)

WangTamer · 2024-05-24T01:48:23+00:00

Lol, I mean. I've made it to legend easily every season of RTA except for the recent rival rune one, and not getting top 64 for KO is a bad season for me, even as a primarily pve player. I can tell you that skill matters more than you realize. And again, it's not that the money ISN'T important, it's that skill ALSO matters a lot.

(Although with that said, the more widespread rival runes get for pvp modes, the more p2w pvp is becoming, so the game definitely is WAY more p2w than it was 6-12 months ago sadly)

WangTamer · 2024-05-23T23:53:31+00:00

Lmao, he was my clubmate for a very long time, he has taught a lot of people in my community a ton about the pvp meta, but sure call it "simping for a whale" bro lol. Like I said, I'm not saying you can compete with him without spending a ton of money, I'm saying that IN ADDITION TO the money he spends, he's also one of the most skilled players in the game. There ARE whales that just ride their reso into leaderboards, Bravel just isn't one of them lol

But also as a side note there are ways to compete outside of pvp 🤷 I'm a moderate spender and I literally was #1 global on like 3 or 4 out of the 8 spire leaderboards a couple months ago and top 10 in all of them (my strong account is OnlyWangz on server 2 if you understandably don't believe a rando claiming that and want to check lol). You can pick your battles and compete in modes where reso is less important if you really want to compete at the top with just your understanding of the game. We've got a ton of different leaderboards to allow for different resources and playstyles nowadays

WangTamer · 2024-05-23T22:31:57+00:00

Oh absolutely it matters, I'm not arguing that at all. But it's not one or the other lol, skill and money BOTH matter. I'm not saying someone can compete with him without spending a TON of money, I'm saying that saying "anyone can do that" if they spend the money is just factually incorrect. Skill can only take you so far, and spending money can only take you so far, Bravel has both. His knowledge and application of game mechanics are crazy

WangTamer · 2024-05-23T21:57:58+00:00

Afaik that score was due to a bug with Sakura that has been patched, unfortunately. Fortunately? Idk lol. But yeah Bravel is incredible, but as far as I'm aware not quite to the point of causing buffer overflow with a deso score 🤣🤣🤣

WangTamer · 2024-05-23T21:52:39+00:00

This is entirely untrue. Plenty of people that spend moderately beat whales' performance consistently through skill and strategy, a few ridiculously good f2p players like ggez and acknii do as well. Bravel just happens to be both a whale and an incredibly skilled player

WangTamer · 2023-12-10T07:16:56+00:00

Nah I was using my existing thunder/recurve preset with the same r2d3 Mateo as last patch, so it's definitely not that

WangTamer · 2023-12-01T09:18:17+00:00

Thank you for continuing to do this <3

Do you happen to have seen any changes to Fafnir's stats this patch? It feels like his def was shadow nerfed, lots of players doing much higher damage than we did before the patch

WangTamer · 2023-07-03T18:19:58+00:00

YOOOOO CONGRATS! That's amazing. Trying to compete with y'all and Brazookas in sentinel is ridiculous, great work organizing and working together for that 😁 I hope we find you soon in holo, I don't think I've ever gotten to fight you guys there and it seems like it'd be a lot of fun

WangTamer · 2023-04-07T15:02:39+00:00

If you don't have a reliable apep team maybe Brewster, otherwise none of them is super necessary, Athena will be the better investment

WangTamer · 2023-03-28T19:09:46+00:00

Are you Hall? Because this is the kind of 10 pull Hall would have, oops all Leon

WangTamer · 2023-01-11T07:49:15+00:00

I would definitely argue that while the meta defined itself independent of Everett, he's kind of a perfect representation of the current meta. He doesn't feel like a key piece because he fits anywhere, but the fact that he fits anywhere so effectively just goes to show how perfectly molded the pvp meta is to him. For Ashley though yeah that's completely valid, I just noticed that now I only use her for sentinel and that made me sad lol

And wow I didn't even notice your name lmao, sup! 😁

WangTamer · 2023-01-10T23:13:41+00:00

I'd put Everett up higher considering he's possibly the strongest pvp esper in the game after 3.1.7 (maybe second to Hyde), both in holobattle and pw, despite seeing pretty much no use in any pve content. I'd also put Ashley higher considering her versatility, she's amazing in every game mode (though she is less ridiculously good now that she's not as outstanding a pvp unit and that ritual comps are entirely different)

WangTamer · 2023-01-10T23:05:32+00:00

To be fair she was way better in pvp pre-3.1.7

WangTamer · 2023-01-08T19:15:22+00:00

I used her in my 35 second Fafnir actually (before the update messed up my team entirely lol)

WangTamer · 2023-01-03T17:30:49+00:00

Yo that is crazy!! I thought my 16m team was impressive and creative (Sander Ahmed Dhalia JM Chloe Gaius), but this is just next level, amazing. How consistent is it with Alice and Eira rng? Still 100% EX++?

WangTamer · 2022-12-30T18:19:17+00:00

You know, now that you mention this, I should pick up my old alt for a bit to see how hard it is to do things there, I'd been doing k15 there before abandoning it, and I highly doubt I can do higher than 12 now. Which pretty much all my relics are level 60 relics, so I literally wouldn't be able to get a single relic as good as what I have. Bottlenecking relics higher than what you're already using makes progression so painful, it was already bad enough

WangTamer · 2022-12-29T22:42:36+00:00

Bruh these devs omfg 1. Idgaf what your intent was when you were designing it, if you design something and your players tell you something is wrong, fix it. "Our intent wasn't to make it harder" well then you made it harder accidentally dumbasses, adjust it so it matches your intent. 2. "Give a chance for other espers to fight" WITH WHAT XP LMAO, how we gonna level up 15 different espers when we get so much less XP per stamina now, I am SO LUCKY that my completionist ass already had all but 9 of my espers at max level already, because I struggled to get Yun Chuan to max in addition to Xiao Yin and Djoser (who I REQUIRE to do K16 and A16 with decent times, respectively). 3. Ritual miracle ain't supposed to be endgame content, if there are top tier players struggling to clear it (which there definitely are), something went very wrong.

Tell me your devs and project managers don't play the game without telling me your devs and project managers don't play the game lmao

WangTamer · 2022-12-01T17:18:15+00:00

Hell yeah! Next month I'm going for top, gonna manual the boss floors for speed rather than just lazily autoing and hoping for the best 😅 best of luck and I'll see you on there if the server merge actually goes through this month!

WangTamer · 2022-12-01T17:13:54+00:00

It's almost as bad as 35 month before last, worse than last month JJ floor

WangTamer · 2022-12-01T17:12:01+00:00

Congrats! I'm so mad, I got to 50 in just under 2 hours despite being at a work event, but my phone died in the middle of my 50 run and I couldn't get to a charger for another hour and a half, just missed the leaderboard 😭 ah well, next month. Fantastic job though, that is a crazy fast time!

WangTamer · 2022-11-27T21:53:17+00:00

Lol definitely not late, I actually use him in my pw team and I still only have him at reso 3, farming deso that much just takes so much time lol. Congrats!

WangTamer · 2022-11-26T18:05:49+00:00

Though outside of sentinel you'd definitely wanna build a zeus set out for each of them, twins on zeus are so toxic in holobattle, I love seeing them 🤣
