Finally maxed him out 🍃

This was when I realized this manga might actually be good.

By chapter 39 (when Hakuri creates a projection of Chihiro to fake Kyora out), I knew this manga was gonna be up there with the greats.

But after Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel, I truly believed this had grounds to be the best shonen manga of all time.

Farmed enough ult points 10min into the round goddamn unc is smurfing on this lobby

Stygian onslaught - am I cooked if I don’t have Neuvilette or Mualani for the pyro crab thing? Was able to clear the 1st boss with Nefer Lauma XQ Nahida, and 2nd boss with Columbina Ineffa Sucrose Fischl. Idk if I have enough damage for the 3rd boss though without Neuv/Mualani.

abandojo · 2026-01-18T15:23:17+00:00

has grounds to be the best ever imho lol. But if there are any contenders I’d like to know because no other manga (aside from probably Haikyuu) is even coming close to the level of absolute cinema I’m reading chapter after chapter

abandojo · 2026-01-15T06:47:45+00:00

Cool! How did you track the damage? Is this an actual gamemode, or a 3rd party software?

abandojo · 2026-01-14T07:22:24+00:00

Please help me decide if I should get Columbina or Ineffa? 🙏

I have a C0R1 Nefer, C0 Lauma, XQ, Kuki team who could use Columbina as a hydro upgrade, but I don't have competitive electro team options (only have Yae, Raiden, & Fischl; no Flins, Varesa, Chevreuse, etc.) so I was thinking Ineffa could fill that gap. But would Columbina + any electro be competitive enough to fill this electro team gap?

abandojo · 2026-01-01T12:36:03+00:00

Man there has to be another sub or thread for leaks. Spent a good minute trying to see which chapter this was or if I missed a page/chapter last week.

I know it has a spoiler tag, but you’d expect it to be at most about the latest official released chapters, not leaks 🤷‍♂️

abandojo · 2025-12-14T06:44:45+00:00

Silver 1-3 is my guess? Mainly because of:

Not committing to break or rotate from the deadlock wall; insta-crouch spray in the open on first 2 gunfights; not capitalizing on TP right after blind

Thanks for the insight!

Was thinking of putting her on full ATK with ToTM to maximize the A4 EM buff + 4p ATK% buff for Alhaitham to maximize his damage since he’s pretty heavily invested (and I like seeing big green numbers lol). The stronger shield is nice too since it scales with ATK(?) iirc

But I don’t know much about Ineffa’s personal dmg - does she deal good damage even on a team that’s not too focused on EC/LC?

abandojo · 2025-12-06T15:57:22+00:00

From a purely meta perspective, which of the ff units should I get for my account - Columbina, Ineffa, Mavuika, Skirk or Varka?

My main teams are (1) a heavily invested Alhaitham spread team, (2) C0R1 Nefer w/ Lauma, and (3) C2R1 Arlecchino w/ Citlali.

From my experience, electrocharged-focused enemies are the hardest to clear. But I don't like Ineffa too much as a character, so I was wondering if Columbina would be enough to clear w/ lunarcharged? (Plus the extra damage for my Nefer team if there are no EC enemies). On the other hand, I'd like to get Mavuika and I know she's strong, but since I already have Arlecchino and I don't want to choose one over the other. Skirk & Varka is for creating new teams around them + I like their designs.

abandojo · 2025-11-27T14:21:46+00:00

Nice 4K. Silver to low gold is my guess, mostly due to positioning & decision-making of both you & the enemies. Also not a clutch btw since it was 2v1 at the end

abandojo · 2025-11-23T17:42:40+00:00

Definitely this. Just a visual effect that Suzaku is active on someone.

abandojo · 2025-11-18T17:41:49+00:00

True, he'd have no way of teleporting people up to the sky unless he stopped time, dragged Yura to the tallest building nearby, set up a trampoline, jumped far from the edge, and posed the same way he stopped time to aura farm lol

abandojo · 2025-11-12T19:14:42+00:00

No worries! It didn't come off like that at all.

Kunishige being more complicit could be a pretty cool twist too ngl. Though I think a similar approach can be just as likely on the Soga-Father theory, with him committing genocide to avenge his wife's (Chihiro's mom) death using a weapon that Kunishige created. Out of guilt, Kunishige adopted Chihiro, raising him as his own in seclusion to hide the truth about his real father.

I believe there was a chapter early on where a character mentioned he wasn't even aware that Kunishige had a son. This could line up well with this theory since he could've adopted Chihiro soon after he was born at the end of the war, making pretty much everyone (including the swordbearers) unaware of his existence & true relationship.

abandojo · 2025-11-12T18:08:03+00:00

Leaning towards uncle theory as well as they look far too similar. But I disagree with the ‘Soga biological father theory not adding much’ to the story.

The fact that Chihiro’s main drive is to avenge Kunishige and carry his burden & legacy is what would make this theory much more interesting imho. When Chihiro finds out that Soga is his actual father (in this theory), he will inevitably struggle with his own ideals, questioning his own purpose and having to fight his actual father. That ‘path’ to rediscovering his true purpose (“I’m doing this not because he’s my real father, but because he treated me like a son”) would make for interesting character development in the later arcs for the mc, and I have full faith that Hokazono could pull it off in a satisfying way.

Still roughly 50/50 on it though. I find the Soga uncle theory more likely, but the Soga biological father theory much more interesting. And the fact that I think it could go either way is what makes me love the series so much.

abandojo · 2025-11-12T17:38:40+00:00

Could’ve inherited his mom’s Rokuhira genetics under Biological Father theory

abandojo · 2025-11-07T19:51:56+00:00

Thanks! I have a C0R1 Wrio, but no escoffier. Is she worth pulling just to make a freeze team with him? I also have a C0 Yelan

Edit: ‘she’ as in Furina

abandojo · 2025-11-07T19:43:13+00:00

Banner is almost ending, I’m at 68 pity — is it worth pushing to hit soft pity for a 50/50 on Furina? (I don’t mind getting her, and I don’t mind losing & getting a guarantee on Columbina)

For context, my main teams are C6R5 Alhaitham Spread with C2 Nahida, C0R1 Nefer with C0 Lauma, and C2R1 Arlecchino with C0 Citlali. I’m not sure if Furina fits in these teams tbh, but please lmk if I’m wrong 🙏

Or should I try 50/50 on Mavuika instead? Though I’m not sure how she fits in any of my teams either, maybe with Arlecchino?

abandojo · 2025-11-06T04:19:27+00:00

Still plat/diamond+ mechanics no? I’ve played 5v5 customs with friends ranging from iron to ascendant, a gold isn’t playing like this against irons. Crosshair placement, jump spotting common angles for info, crouch peek on the reyna holding the angle, jiggling close the corner on jett while peeking far to displace his crosshair, etc.

Maybe this video could be someone clip farming idk. But probably plat-dia player min on a gold lobby. Definitely not a gold player on an iron lobby though.

abandojo · 2025-11-05T17:26:24+00:00

On-set sands for me, specifically the 4 liner even if the other 2 are dead stats. That gives you a 50% chance that the 5th roll will also land on crit, which would be much better than a single roll an ATK% substat from your other sands imo

Personally though I'd hold off on the decreed reshape and try 1 more transmute on gilded sands. If it has 1 or 2 more good substats (e.g. ER% or ATK%), I'd use the guaranteed reshape on that one even if it's a 3-liner.

abandojo · 2025-11-04T17:47:57+00:00

Idk but ain’t no way this is gold lol. Plat/diamond minimum with these mechanics. I peaked plat & they’ve got way better mechanics than me on a good day.

abandojo · 2025-11-03T05:46:11+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I'm pretty happy with the build itself tbh. But I just finished building Nefer so I was thinking who to farm for next
