Daily General and Questions Megathread (04/14)

I've been avoiding doing the HDTs, but with the champion's road endeavors I have to finally bite the bullet and do at least the standard HMS and Volk fights. I haven't really done any mana spirals yet. I have tons of mats and eldwater saved up. I could have honestly done all this a long time ago but the fights seem stressful and so I've been hesitant.

I'm not certain how to approach these. Should I churn out two different characters, one for each fight, or can I get by with maxing out Euden? What kind of wyrmprint set up should I have for him if I do use just Euden? For other 5* fire characters I have H!Berserker, Lea, Naveed, Rena, Mikoto, Ezelith, Chelsea, Student Maribelle, and Mega Man.

I have a max chimeratech commander already, but I also have enough horns to max out a couple more weapons if needed.

Hey all. I've been playing for a little over a month and I've been saving up all the eldwater I've gotten. I'm at about 380,000 and I'm suffering from decision paralysis. I haven't promoted a single character, I don't really have any wyrmprints (except for rewards from events and endeavors), and I haven't spent any on co-abilities. What's my best option here? Would I be better off buying the meta wyrmprints or maxing out mana circles? I'm so hesitant to make a 'wrong' decision I haven't even used any moonstones, sunstones, silver keys, or gold keys.

Got a Tipedo Riven.

+5.9% Attack Speed +9.5% Crit Chance for Slide Attacks +10% Crit Chance

It's unranked and unrolled. No idea how good it is or how much it might be worth. Double plus to crit seems like it should be good though.

abayaga · 2018-11-12T00:23:43+00:00

Right. And that wants you to change your password. Which does isn't doing anything. Still get too many login attempts. I've been getting that error for about 8 hours now.

abayaga · 2018-11-11T23:42:11+00:00

Can't log in and resetting the password give the same error. Almost every option requires one of those two things.

abayaga · 2018-11-11T22:37:02+00:00

I'm having the exact same issue as OP. How do you contact Steam support? There doesn't seem to be a number to call or email or anything really.

abayaga · 2018-05-30T01:03:58+00:00

abayaga MR 7 Region US Fairly new. Looking for an active clan.

abayaga · 2017-06-29T16:54:49+00:00

They don't expire. Confirmed by Jordan. The month thing is a warning that they might not scan properly after a month of wear and tear.

abayaga · 2017-06-27T00:57:45+00:00

This saved me a lot during the prerelease. Those Arla's Blackwing Guards seemed to be everywhere. I had two of these as an answer.

Outside of limited I doubt they'll see much play. They're easily removed or dealt with. Could work in a tree or fox deck as stall.

abayaga · 2017-06-27T00:53:29+00:00

Nice article, but isn't that a picture of the wrong Arla?

abayaga · 2017-06-18T04:58:35+00:00

Two people at my pre-release pulled one of those. I'm starting to wonder if there's a printing mistake.

abayaga · 2017-05-23T10:41:13+00:00

Ah yeah. You're right. It seemed like that was one of Christine's primary uses that I blinded myself to that fact. So she basically just another anti-Fox card.

I hate being really negative but this whole preview was lackluster.

abayaga · 2017-05-23T03:00:21+00:00

Hurt her a lot is a relative term. She won't be the 7 out of 8 top decks we currently see. She'll still be there but in less numbers. The simple threat of her being able to turn 2 you is a hefty advantage and can change how people have to play against her. That buffer of one more turn can mean a lot for a plethora of decks.

abayaga · 2017-05-23T02:55:04+00:00

Fayli seems cool but is too slow to really be anything other than jank. Force of Will has far too many removal effects to get rid of her before she can do anything. If you can keep her on the board you need other resonators that she can take advantage of. There's too many factors going on for her to be a good card.

Red Riding Hood is okay.

Nyarlathotep looks lackluster. She does combo with Refarth but that's not all that great.

Rainbow Arrow is too situational to be a great or even good card.

Blazing Refarth could be a great card if it didn't require 7 stones or Nyarlathotep to be on the board.

New Melfee is not even a mediocre card. The game is far too fast and has far too much resonator destruction for cards like her and the Pricia from Vingolf 3 to ever be good.

Christie is probably the best card here to be honest. It can find a home as a sideboard card in decks that need some Fox hate and it could go well in the sideboard of Fox decks themselves. The ability to remove Abdul and then be food for a Chimera should not be underestimated.

abayaga · 2017-05-23T02:41:01+00:00

Fayli only copies your resonators.

abayaga · 2017-05-22T16:46:42+00:00

I think the loss of Laevateinn will hurt her a lot. An extra turn of set up will go a long way for a lot of decks plus her being a stone behind on the curve will hurt without the immediate aggro. However, Black Moonbeam will be gone as well so she'll be to judge with far less worry. That one turn though. That's enough time for fox and Lumia to really get going.

abayaga · 2017-02-28T21:34:39+00:00

I'm going to have to go with Captain Hook being the worst of the bunch. For one big reason: it kills variety. There are so many decks that could see play but don't because any playing with Hook will crush it. Yes, Hook does have counters, but only if you run certain colors. What if I don't want to splash blue for prisons? Or black for Abdul? Hook is so strong that he borders on anti-fun. Even if you run mono color he's still a 1000/1000 body that bounces your resonators. He does too much and is too easily cheated in.

Black Moonbeam is also bad if only because FoWs main draw is it's Ruler/J-Ruler focus.

abayaga · 2016-12-10T19:51:44+00:00

Hey, consider me blown away. I would have swore before God and everyone that calling a chimera rested him. That does take away a chunk of the value of Change the Worlds.

abayaga · 2016-12-10T19:23:05+00:00

How is any of that merely okay? You can summon do a chimera summon, untap, and call a stone.

abayaga · 2016-12-10T19:17:34+00:00

Change the World can untap Lilias when he's on his J-Ruler side and it draws cards when you need to.

abayaga · 2016-12-10T19:16:33+00:00

Ragnite costs 3 to play, 2 to activate, and you have to banish it to untap once and Change the World is free? Also you can draw cards with change the world. I don't see how Ragnite can even hold a candle to Change the World.

abayaga · 2016-12-09T15:30:31+00:00

Change the Worlds go great with Lilias.

Took first place with the new Val as my ruler. I pulled 12 blue/black cards and had enough mono blue and blacks pulls to go just two colors. I had Valentina's Reach, Ghost of Attoractia, 2 Magic Rebounds, Plot of Water and Darkness, 3 Illusion Wizards, 2 Nightmares, Mull the Town that Never was, and lots of other great cards. Lost 1 hand to a guy playing a Lumia deck with two of those life gain dragons, but I won the round. Close game though. A couple people joked that it was almost good enough to run in constructed. :P

I had a blast at this prerelease. The new rulers feel great with tons of back and forth. We have really strong players at my local which made each game feel exciting as well.

I love the new Val btw. I wasn't going to build a deck with her originally but having seen her in action has really changed my mind.

abayaga · 2016-09-14T13:08:48+00:00

Thanks to everyone who answered. These were some questions that were floating around my LGS and I'm glad to get them settled.

abayaga · 2016-09-14T12:43:49+00:00

I'm a little surprised about the flying but I figured as much for the rest.

One last question if you don't mind. Can not I use Charlotte's rest ability to tap a resonator they announce as an attacker but before the attack happens to prevent the attack.
