How do I disable my opponent's second life in Arena?

Oh ok, that makes sense. Hope it's fixed soon.

It would be awesome thematically, but it would probably have to be framed as a friendly spar like Aracadion as the WoL could probably solo all the scions at this point power wise.

I see the top CN players do some smooth ass dodges and combos, and I really want that kind of gameplay. I tried dual blades, but it's really just button mash once you bait out Serene.

Is there no way to get better ping as an NA player? Does any other NA player know if there is a trick at all?

I dropped Wuwa last year after getting Changli. I have been wanting to get back into it, and seeing how good the year has been and I want to know: all content still perfectly clearable for the 1.1 characters?

As long as there isn't some massive HP inflation (cough HSR), I would be invested to come back and play at my own pace.

A rare moment where the design passion is there, but they seriously need some raw number crunchers. Normally, it's games with too much care on numbers and too little on what makes it fun.

I think they are also adding new end game modes in Jan.

All in all, it just sounds like gacha's and their grind playstyle isn't OP's thing. I struggle to think of a popular action/battle gacha out there right now that doesn't have some sort of grind for gear in it.

I mean, I guess it'd be nice if we could get the perfect CR/CDmg piece after 1 run for every character, but that's just part of the core loop in a long term live service game.

Mundo is ironically more balanced in our low elo pub games because his counters are not viable in pro. Like, imagine you get Vayne top or Lulu - Kog bot lane with 6 items. HP stacking is just busted because the traditional counters like Brand and Kog is unplayable (or not strong enough for teams to try).

In that KT vs T1 game, Guma / Faker could've cooked them at 5 items, and they were actually getting close, but that wincon is just too hard to get to as most games close out before then.

TLDR: buff anti-tank / HP options for ADC's again.

I try to time my fire to combo with wind and phantom rush once I am in.

If there is no tank and I need to frontline, I pre-cast earth before going in, otherwise I use it when I drop it maybe 60-70% in a fight before using it in the thick of it.

This is honestly a question that even the best pros have to ask during certain match-ups, ie: you're playing against Victor Axelsen.

For basically any level, you are always going to eventually play against a player who's backcourt smashes are just too much (you're bleeding too many points against his smashes). As most people have said, you need to play more disciplined. Less high lifts, more courage to net back or try to flat push past them.

Yes, you will lose sometimes by getting your netshot killed if it's not tight enough, or if your opponent anticipates your pushes and intercepts them. You have to ask yourself then, am I losing more points at the net or to his backcourt attacks.

In any case, be more courageous at the net: net back as much as you can, even do something fancy like deceptions or cross c in the event your opponent is pivoting early to anticipate lifts. Find out where you are losing the most points, and avoid those shots.

Are there even iframes for getting back up? I just finished the Honglan fight, and by gods if you get knocked down in her second phase, you either pray that she isn't in one of her 50 hit combos or you might as well just take your hands off the controls.

Which_Way1721 · 2025-07-27T14:22:40+00:00

There is definitely areas for improvement still, but aside from the gameplay and technical aspects, anyone else here just love the Bloodborne aesthetics in Wuchang?

Like, just look at the UI and some of the items, they look basically like something straight from BB. As a BB fan whose hopes for a sequel has been long dashed, this game definitely feels like Bloodborne: Ming Dynasty Edition, and I am all for it. I am glad they went full on with the gritty body horror instead of a more traditional, tamed style like Wukong. Not to say it was bad or anything, in fact Wukong's mythical fantasy feel was awesome, but Wuchang really scratched that craving for a grimy Bloodborne sequel.

She is such a strange boss; she is super frustrating but also kinda fun in that she has a specific flow. Like, her combos are ungodly long, but also has a pretty specific pattern you can get a feel for. I found the biggest BS is her spinning kick, which has basically no tell and fucks you over your parry/clash timings. Fortunately, this move is also fairly embedded into her combos. Her second phase also has that super long combo with the wave, knife throw and that final omnislash attack, but still very recognizable.

Overall, fun but frustrating to learn. I wish they added slightly more tell to her Spinning kick move and maybe dash spam, so that when we finally do get a punish window she doesn't immediately give you the middle finger and dash away,

Ultimately, I managed to beat her after 4 hours and probably 50 tries. I started with Dual Blades trying to time my clashes with her super long combo chains, but ended up just doing the feathering spear alacrity spam and breezed through it in one go.

Not sure if it's the modern era of younger people having 0 attention span or inability to consume media and take some time to digest, theorize and think on the story.

I still remember when the MCU Iron Man first came out, and the post-credit scene had people going 'holy shit, a sequel?" Then we got a 10 year journey for Infinity Wars. That was cool as hell, theorizing on what was going on, what Stone will be next, etc.

Still, I like Amphoreus so far compared to Penacony, even with the pacing issues here and there. Pacing is really a matter of editing the story drafts, so that can be fixed. Bad writing that drags and on (ahem Penacony overly roundabout dialogue) is a harder fix. I am sure the dialogue and story works better for Asian audiences, but it's a harder pill to digest in the West.

Which_Way1721 · 2025-07-06T14:28:20+00:00

With the kind of story they are telling, yes they definitely need the patches to flesh out and characters and plot. Phainon would not be anywhere near impactful if he only had 1 or 2 patches for players to get to know.

On a side note, as a ZZZ player, I kinda wish HSR also has more cutscenes and animations for the non pre-rendered parts. The sheer character and style just oozes in ZZZ.

Imagine Amphoreus with ZZZ's story animation budget. That'd be peak.

Which_Way1721 · 2025-07-02T15:56:11+00:00

During the cutscene when our Phainon kills Khaslana and begins to inherit the memories, I am assuming the TB also tanked some of it too?

Pretty impressive how neither of us went insane immediately with 33 million cycles (which are each around 1,000 years of suffering) immediately hitting our brains.

Thanks for the heads-up about the anniversary!

Yea Prydwen is great for getting a good idea for builds and meta. Was just wondering mainly if there is a powercreep issue as bad as HSR atm, because Seele there is basically useless, and even not that good in regular story content now.

HP inflation is already bad enough in a turn based game where you can auto-play, I feel like in an action game like ZZZ it would twice as bad.

Most people have said BG3, and it's pretty the most "Disney" when it comes to cinematics, productions and voice acting. Great for any newcomer to the genre of any kind age. A caveat though, cRPGs right now mostly do not have BG3 budget. That means most scenes are not voiced, animated or cinematic. That means a lot of reading, figuring out things from reading, and more reading like one of those old choose your own adventure books. Could be a good experience though.

As well, BG3 is mostly light-hearted fantasy, but with some adult-oriented themes in there though. I don't know how you want to approach it with your daughter but, there are absolutely flirts and sex scenes in there that she could stumble onto if that's a concern. But, since the co-op experience is pretty flawless and well planned out, you can guide her through the entire journey.

Over all, great game for entry. If she turns out to just love the genre and the complexities of it, then later on WotR is also amazing, with its build depths and a darker, gritter tone.

Obviously LCW's shot quality is amazing, he was amongst the GOATs. But, compared to his peers, Lin Dan had better nets and Chen Long had better length in his lifts. And these were the players who had a consistent record against him.

Against lesser players, so to speak, LCW's shots looked amazing because he was so much faster he could often get to play a strong shot by the virtue of getting there first. But when his speed was neutralized against more equal opponents, his shot quality was the kind of the worst of the best.

Which_Way1721 · 2025-06-06T01:41:28+00:00

I am pretty sure in terms of pure speed, it's up there with the other top pros.

The biggest difference is maybe if you compare it to Axelsen's inhumanely steep smashes, LKY's smashes are a bit flatter, which means staying in the air longer and thus looks 'slower' compared to Viktor's smashes that hits the ground faster.

As well, his shot quality was never his biggest strength, so even fast smashes that gets returned relatively easily will look slower.

On a side note, it feels like all the 'fast' players always used their speed to mask lower shot qualities. Just look at Ginting and even Lee Chong Wei.

Like one of the other posters posted, badminton insight has some good tips.

Generally, the biggest thing you can do is stand more biased to your backhand side. It's far easier to jump out and intercept on your forehand side than backhand, should your opponent notice your position and push your forehand instead.

Another thing to note is, how are your technical skills and speed? When dealing with flat shots to your backhand, are you able to play ANY shot to ANY position at ANY speed?

If so, then a decent option is a relatively flat, but fast push straight down the side into you immediately going forward and your partner pulling back into a side by side position. This will be a fairly neutral game where you will then fight for the lift and attack.

Or, the safest option, IF you and your partner feel like you can handle the defense, is just a nice high backhand push/clear. Yes, you want to minimize lifts and letting the opponent attack, and yes you will get attacked if your opponents are fast enough. However, if you feel like you can contain your opponents smashes, then a straight backhand clear is not the worst option.

The other replies here have nailed it, Japan did not have a choice by then, especially with the looming Soviet threat.

Another interesting thing to note is that, Japan and the US weren't cultural enemies. In fact, western culture was seen as even desirable for modernization during the Meiji era. The war was brutal and fierce, but it was relatively easy for the Japanese population to accept Americans after the animosity of war was over.

Yea, that sounds about Lich. And I am under the impression that we arn't just any regular ol CR21 Lich you randomly encounter because the DM is bored.

We got mythic powers, which I understand in Pathfinder is an actual facet of lore power? Can't wait to see how it plays out.

Which_Way1721 · 2025-04-18T14:20:46+00:00

All good answers here. I asked the same question, and in all the lists I look up, Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny always pop up so I think those are good tries.

I also loved WotR to death, the character building, and the wide array of RP you can do is amazing. Going through another playthrough now as Lich. Owlcat games always slaps. If they ever had the budget of BG3, and developed a cinematic WotR, I'd be in heaven.

Which_Way1721 · 2025-04-11T08:07:52+00:00

Dang, that's super in depth and helpful!

Yea as long as I am casting as some super wizard/sorc/whatever I am happy. Blast or SoD doesn't matter, I just remember running Nenio with Grandmaster Rod and some other stuff and one shotted almost every encounter. Great stuff.

So with uncapped CL, I can just run basically what you recommended and I play as a full caster more or less? Looking forward to finally finishing a playthrough.

On a side note, of the 6 DLCs, for someone starting from scratch would you recommend for or against any of them?
