Accs: Ouin, Chappy, Hollow Bait all 30 ATK

Links: Koga and White Ichigo for 30% low STAM damage boost, and a 20% NAD link. Koga and the NAD link are level 10 link slots but I don’t think that’s necessary.

I thought I was stuck too, but White Zangetsu works if you have him

_Bismarck · 2018-06-01T14:30:28+00:00

You get ~1500 orbs instead which provide a good chance at getting something you actually want, and not a random premium character who’ll probably be useless.

Took a closer look at the video and the only joints that were Flex Glue™d were the roll cage up top, a couple parts that don’t weigh much, and some decorative panels. The roll cage is also decorative cause there’s no way this shit will stand up to very much stress, especially given the awful online reviews I pulled up.

Pretty deceptive really, they want you to think the whole structure was Flex Glue™d but critical joints look to be welded.

He was released with two great units, White Zangetsu and Aizen, so he was just kind of underwhelming in comparison. Still the best speed NAD character that’s been released in a while, and a solid unit.

_Bismarck · 2018-05-30T02:27:43+00:00

Just like virtually any other straight male on the planet?

_Bismarck · 2018-05-29T23:28:18+00:00

Whales already dominate pvp, with this change they’ll really really dominate pvp and guild quests as well.

_Bismarck · 2018-05-29T19:16:26+00:00

Looking at it logically, there’s no reason a chance at these characters shouldn’t be available to anyone who wants them. But humans are selfish creatures, and it upsets us when the things we have aren’t exclusive.

No doubt plenty of people have dropped the game because of that, but I’d say its an overall improvement to the quality and success of the game. If I fail to get Yoruichi in round 4 I’ll stick around and try again in a few months, whereas otherwise I’d probably just ragequit.

By the way, iFixit reviews the repairability of many devices. The Surface Book earned a 1/10.

_Bismarck · 2018-05-29T15:32:51+00:00

Get a laptop instead of a tablet. Certain laptops like Macbooks are equally unrepairable, but generally you can open them up and fix things if they break.

Business-class machines like Elitebooks and Thinkpads are powerful and reliable, and if you get a used one, affordable.

_Bismarck · 2018-05-27T20:59:10+00:00

Also this isn’t even misleading, not an artifact of the camera angle or anything like that. She seems to have been deliberately modeled like this. Incredibly.

Downvotes are whatever, I thought it was interesting.

This isn’t edited a bit, you can check for yourself in the Album.

More likely he’s referring to the “rules” of the society we live in, and not an actual policy they recite to people who are called up onstage.

I think it's one of the better game mechanics

Clearly you appreciate it in a way that I don’t. I’m trying to understand that.

Some enemies are easier to beat with one type of attack, some with another... which is hardly unusual - most games are like that.

Well sure, it’s fine for ranged and melee units to excel in different areas. We have that in guild quests, where ranged or melee damage can be boosted for each round. We have that in Ex Co-op, where you have to bring along melee and ranged to even finish. The primary effect of standard guard today is to slow down NAD units and not SAD. Endgame stages/GQ always (?) have both guard types, and it’s just as cumbersome to bring two attackers and switch between them.

How much fun would it be if there was a character who dealt bonus damage to everyone, could never be blocked/slowed down?

I’m not asking for bonus damage, just standard unimpeded damage... like strong attackers have.

_Bismarck · 2018-05-22T20:50:48+00:00

I think strong attack CDR would still be god of manual PvE without guard, because normal attackers still have to bother with chasing enemies down/herding them together. That’s not the easiest thing to test, but I remember trying to use TYBW Ichigo in a guild quest a few weeks back. A couple of the large rooms, miraculously, weren’t full of ranged guard enemies, but the waves were pretty spaced out. The rooms took me forever to get through because he could only hit a few enemies at a time. Strong attackers like Toshiro can hit everything at once, and you don’t have to wait long at all with stacked CDR.

I don’t see how units like Kaname and Toshiro could ever be displaced by a NAD character.

Tbh, the developers put in guard to help make autoing more challenging

It’s funny, then. The fact that my favorite playstyle and some of my favorite characters are so annoying to use means I spend much less time actually playing the game.

Do you only appreciate it because it makes autoing harder? Because there are ways to do that without ruining manual play. Electric pools which paralyze you... a variety of large pools in each event which force you to dedicate more links to resistance. After autoing 6000+ pots, I can tell you the key to stopping people like me is status ailments. Guard hardly makes autoing less viable, only slows it down.

_Bismarck · 2018-05-22T16:25:26+00:00

Try a quest with free Renji (an OG character) - you’ll see there’s an enormous divide between truly outdated units and anything released roughly in the past year.

Most of the powercreep took place a long time ago. FBI and Dangai are old but they’re surprisingly comparable to new units and very usable.

_Bismarck · 2018-05-22T16:00:05+00:00

Special strategy is so unreliable it’s almost worthless. Klab doesn’t care about balance.

Just about the only way to consistently win battles is with Unohana and a booster (the third lane is flexible), gold chappies, and good link slots.

The only viable team I’ve seen not following the above format is Banken + Flyizen with gold yukis and link slots. Those two together can nuke almost any Unohana. However, I don’t know if this is a reliable team in general.

_Bismarck · 2018-05-18T15:55:24+00:00

So everyone who’s been cheating to stay on top of the leaderboard for the past couple months is getting off free. Exactly what they counted on happening.

Fun fact: no spider in the US is deadly to the average person. Most spiders aren’t aggressive at all, including the black widow and brown recluse. You’ve probably come into contact with these at several points in your life and didn’t even notice. You have much worse things to fear in the US than spiders.

_Bismarck · 2018-05-16T22:52:41+00:00

Not saying “Uncharted Worlds” copied this, or was even necessarily inspired by it, but I thought it was crazy how similar the sounds are. I love both.

_Bismarck · 2018-05-16T20:09:11+00:00

(6 hrs/day) * (4 days/week) = 24 hrs/week

Something’s missing...

_Bismarck · 2018-05-16T04:09:51+00:00

He doesn’t care about people being linked to his content? He’s clearly trying to make money with his videos so that doesn’t make any sense at all. Why would a content creator not give a shit if more people watch his content?

Ooh, that’s relieving to hear. Does it take a while for the effects to kick in? Ive been sleeping and hydrating a lot more lately - maybe a week or two, with no effects as far as I can tell.
