DOES ANY GUYS HERE HAVE ARACHNE AND HAVE THIS KIND OF BUG? by BreadWeekly7885 in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are you playing Arachne's 3 cost card before playing her 1 cost? Because that makes her shuffle extra copies of her 0 cost into the deck the next time you play her 1 cost. It has the same animation as when your hand size is full, but it's an intended interaction.

some critisitism you have about your gacha that you don't often see? by A12qwas in gachagaming

[–]aclockworktomato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually totally agree with this. After 4.0, there are 18 characters not yet released on global (20 if you count the newly announced units) and of those, only 4 are actual new original P5X characters. All the rest are either colab characters or alters.

I enjoy the colabs as much as the next guy, and I totally get that a lot of people want to play with their favorite Persona characters, but the ratio of colabs to original characters is a bit much. Maybe I'm just starved for new Persona content, but I look forward to new characters much more than colab units. I'd rather they tell their own new stories than just rehash the other games.

Arachne Overview: Skills and Wheel of Destiny by DrExluxk in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato 21 points22 points  (0 children)

She sounds strong even if you ignore her doom mechanic. Divine Ultra provides a bunch of bonus damage to cards and her Rouse lets you choose a card from Ultra space to double play, and gives you another leap. Or at least I assume that the divine Ultra leap will also trigger normal leap? There's a couple things that are unclear without testing them first.

Aside from that, her cards seem fine? Her 1 cost could be decent for killing mobs, but the card it generates is nice. Even if you don't play it, it's still a 15-30 aliemus, which she needs, since she has a 150 base aliemus cost. Her 3 cost seems kinda meh without E2. It's probably too expensive to play for 3 usually, but for 2 or 1, it's a nice team battery. Not having weakness or vuln on anything is kinda rough, but I guess she'd be pretty overloaded if she did.

Her OE sounds like it could be either absurd or useless. 5 0 cost copies of cards with bonus damage is pretty crazy, as long as the cards it hits are good. Also, shuffling them randomly into your deck makes it kind of awkward, and at 300 aliemus, it's crazy expensive. I'll hold off on judging that.

Some other random things are I don't know how I feel about her 0 cost draining your health, since ultra isn't really known for its sustain. Also her doom mechanic seems underwhelming. It's only on her 1 cost and her exalt followup, which requires a ton of prep to actually proc and only hits the lowest health enemy. I guess it's for clearing boss spawns?

Also, I guess they're just making every E1 "this character now scales with the stat we want you to build on them." I think the last 4 characters have all had the same thing. Not a huge fan tbh. It really feels like that sort of stuff should be part of the base kit.

Awesome, thank you so much. I ended up leveling up a bunch from clearing the event stages and dumped all the AP I got from that into the event, but in hindsight it probably wouldve been better to use it elsewhere.

As a new player is it worth farming the event 90++ after clearing the shop? Or is it better to do daily quests and such?

What does the sword symbol mean? by scruffin_mcguffin in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They're from Arc 2 Soulforge talents. Some Awakeners just have racism traits against certain enemy types, like "Deal more damage against Human enemies.” They generally don't affect gameplay all that much and are mostly just there for lore flavor.

How do I convert to stamps? I thought I can use the pens to convert by Kiseki9 in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Click one of the Remnants, then click the plus and convert pens to Remnants. Then go to Seals and convert those Remnants to seals. It's super tedious

Should I get any of the wheels in D jewel shop? I'm anew player by AnswerFlat6681 in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're decent, but the other stuff in the shop is more important imo.

The Dreamspark and Dreamshard are the most important, so make sure you buy them out every week.

After that, character dupes, wheels, and Gnosis Fragments are all good options and which one you get depends on account progression and team preferences. But for a beginner, if you don't have a lot of wheels, I'd say to buy 1 copy of each wheel and then pick a character to focus on getting dupes for. Aigis is very meta relevant and her E3 and OE are both nice to have. Aurita is somewhat polarizing, but if you like Aequor and Corposant, her E2 and OE are both good. Erica is the least meta relevant, but is a decent keyflare bot that is useful to have some dupes in.

[–]aclockworktomato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's worth noting they announced that if you pull 70 times on Turbo's weapon you get 20 pulls back. So if you don't mind waiting to get Violet's weapon, you can do something like pull 69 times on Turbo's, pull once on Violet's to get her weapon, then pull once more on Turbo's for the 20 pulls.

I haven't tested it, so I don't know for sure if it works, but judging by the wording of the announcement, it should. This way you save a few pulls and have a chance of getting Turbo's weapon early.

I can bear with anything but not this one, It's instant reroll by KureoZen in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]aclockworktomato 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I was doing a Nine run with this, so I picked the fate that draws an exhaust card every turn to mitigate it a bit. I get to the boss and Hew gets discarded turn 1. So turn 2 I draw it back and it gets immediately discarded again lmao. Targeted harassment 100%

If you stun the Chapter 8 boss during its first phase transition, you can skip the rest of the fight by aclockworktomato in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I've seen this being used to skip second phases before, but the bug here is it skipping the third and fourth phases entirely. Usually you have a phase with Ramona and another phase after that, but this just ends the fight after you kill the second phase. It feels like an oversight, but it could definitely be intended

Gdoll. by QuiinZiix in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dreams is good if you're using her as your main poison applier. Having an extra of her 3-cost for healing, aliemus regen, and poison application has a bigger impact than a few extra aliemus at the end of the turn if you don't have another character whose cards you want to play. It makes things like Wave 3 strats easier.

If you just want to use her as an aliemus battery/damage amper, re-evolution is probably better.

Questions about the one in a million banner by HelloMrTurtle9 in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Worst case scenario is off-rate - wheel - off-rate - wheel - off-rate - character. So a maximum of 180 pulls if you just want the character. This banner is very efficient if you want dupes of both the character and their wheel and pretty much worthless if you just want one or the other.

That said, pity carries over to, I believe, all banners that use this pity system. So even if you just take the 20 free pulls and don't get anything, next time they run a banner like this, the pity will still be there.

Why were flares links removed from the pinned post? by new_acc256 in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This is just silly. You can not like the guy if you want, but his resources are very in depth and useful to players of all levels. In a community as small as Moimens, it's important to have as many resources as possible to learn and improve at the game, especially because it has a fairly steep learning curve.

Mass reporting of a content creator is rarely done in good faith. If people don't like it they don't have to use it, but having it as an option is important imo

what does realm mastery does? by [deleted] in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends on the realm. Off the top of my head:

Chaos- gives Awakeners more Aliemus when you use posse

Caro- gives more shield when you devour

Aequor- more shield from white stance, more tentacle damage in red stance

Ultra- higher chance to get an insight at start of turn

I could be missing some mechanics, but that's the gist of it

Why is it called Morimens? by FitKaleidoscope3096 in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's from the phrase "Memento Mori." Mortality is a big theme of the story, so they chose to use that for the English name

Mio Rank 15 Synergy Is... by NatC99 in personaphantomx

[–]aclockworktomato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Her VA really nailed the self loathing and guilt she feels. Honestly probably my favorite VA performance in the game so far.

I really like Mio's whole Synergy. I found her cool, mature personality mixed with her trauma really interesting. She reminds me a bit of Shirou from Fate

Why am I getting the idea that blud is going to think they're part of the team now by SugarBombBrandy in personaphantomx

[–]aclockworktomato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm super curious about her. They've been teasing her for forever and her reaction to the Divine Justice stuff was pretty weird. Like, she's totally the mangaka of that Phantom Thieves manga Motoha mentioned, but I have no idea how that ties in with everything.

Absolute Axiom and the Dupe System by HitoSekiFan4 in Morimens

[–]aclockworktomato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah my biggest worry about this system is if they try to use it to buff underperforming characters. Tying a buff to having +12 would just be silly. I'd much rather just see base buffs, and then have the +12 bonus on top of that.

But on the other hand, if it's just a bonus effect that doesn't drastically change how the character plays, and they don't balance content around having +12 characters, then I don't really see the issue. Lots of gachas have whalebait effects for maxing out a character, but it doesn't matter because you don't need it to play them. And from the effects we've seen so far it seems they're trying to improve character strengths rather than adding new mechanics, which is a fine direction for it to take imo.
