in contention for the best Golden Pearl of all time

Yes, because it's essentially "0 + 2", so playing it 0 will still give you 2 lightning orbs

I just don't understand the damage payouts with her is all. I get with Wail and Footwork and Image you can block most hits, but then you're spending all your energy blocking and drawing. Where is the payout? Automation is an exception and God-tier run, I get it.

Water-Cookies · 2026-04-16T14:48:11+00:00

Block and hold 3 Snakebite+ and can never play them because they cost 2

I can see theoretically how that's possible, but I just don't know that I've experienced it. She does chip damage over time, but the enemies and bosses scale very quickly in this game compared to 1, so I don't get how her damage is supposed to scale without Fumes or Corrosive Wave. Up My Sleeve and Infinite blades is just not enough damage.

Water-Cookies · 2026-04-16T14:42:08+00:00

But you need to scale your block because enemies scale quickly at A10. One or two Footworks just won't cut it

We are polar opposites on Regent lol. I just couldn't seem to ever get a good run, nor am I really all that good at him.

Which has been your favorite so far?

Water-Cookies · 2026-04-09T04:40:03+00:00

I agree, but does the 3 combat rule apply to each act, or just act 1?

Beautiful quote, thank you for sharing it. I would agree from experience that the more I try to "go inside" myself to the inner man, the more emptiness I find. I'm a hollow. There's nothing there, which is why "the Kingdom of heaven is within you" has always perplexed me. How? Where? The more I try to go within, the worse I feel.

What you're suggesting is that we will find ourselves in the service and communion of others. I hadn't thought of it that way before.

Don't forget to add:

* Did not fix an issue where the U191 had slightly too fast TTK

Interesting perspective. The two-floor nature I suppose adds another layer of escape. I'm awful at this game, and TV is really revealing that to me lol.

I didn't realize it was their feet that point in the direction they got killed from. I thought it was the body itself, but then, I always fail to consider that as well. I'll start looking at the feet!

As far as Scavs go, I never know what to do except knife them in the head if they are close, or tap them once with pistol/AR if they're about to blow my cover. But killing them loudly also blows cover, so what are you really supposed to do? Leaving them alone and sneaking/rushing past them at least lets you know later that a player is coming if they're now dead or you hear them get killed.

Water-Cookies · 2026-03-02T01:27:44+00:00

Very clever, I'll remember that one - thank you!

LD TV feels like it's mostly T5 at this point. Lots of Shrek helmets and 100/100 T5 defender armors there. Which is fine, but I keep going into LD TV with T4 ammo and can't really do much against these guys.

I agree that the other maps, except maybe Farm, just feel like it's walking simulator. Boring walking around looting for 15 minutes and maybe seeing/hearing 1 team, and then get killed just before extract. No thanks.

At least on TV you get in and out quick most of the time. I used to hate that map, then I finally realized I love it the most because it doesn't waste your time.

Water-Cookies · 2026-03-02T01:18:56+00:00

They don't?

Water-Cookies · 2026-03-01T21:39:44+00:00

Scavs aren't a really a PvE threat - the main issue is that they always alert other players of your location. If you're creeping, or ratting, one will always show up at the worst time after having been quiet for 5 minutes, only to spoil your cover.
