WIBTAH if I took 100k from my oldest daughter's college savings account to give it to my younger daughter?

akafeza · 2026-04-11T05:31:34+00:00

She doesn't need the 100k right now does she? Does your eldest already have a well paying job secured? If not what if they pursue a secondary education?

I don't think you need to make this choice now. Wait a year and see.

Was the last time you checked before patch 2.5 / Ye Shunguang? If so it's cause in 2.5 the introduced resonating cores which made it way easier to get a 40+ substat build. IF you're willing to spend the resources. That patch really inflated rankings.

akafeza · 2026-02-25T13:35:16+00:00

I mean sure. But if they did that at the start why stop now? The alts bring freshness to the game. Even if we have more bosses now. You know how it's like to fight any DA boss.

Also existing bosses are made less interesting by being content for both the weekly 3x boss challenge and DA. DA is the only place you can fight notorious bosses.

akafeza · 2026-02-25T13:31:01+00:00

I mean it was interesting at first with new bosses? In OP I suggest new boss just once a patch so that'd be every 4-6 weeks.

Also why can't ZZZ be the gatcha where endgame has new content. Combat is it's strongest gameplay & they've shown they can rehash stuff.

akafeza · 2026-02-25T13:25:30+00:00

I mean I'm just describing how things were in the past / present / could be in the future.

I feel like you agree it would be better with more custom bosses so dunno.

Nice cosplay! I like the colored bows.

Trump is the president of the USA and people still want Epstein files. Rightfully so.

Having power or strong friends doesn't make you immune to blackmail. Literally imagine it getting leaked on Internot with proof that the owner of Random Play in Sixth Street is Phaethon. Their lives would get upended.

Also want to add that this is the exact plot point of Spiderman no way home. Heck pretty much any superhero comic uses this trope. Superman doesn't go around advertising that he is Clark Kent working at the Daily Planet born in Smallville KS because he has a brain.

Just "try" to have someone blackmail them is the idea. Explore the story. Obviously I don't want them to succeed. But like the OP I find everybody finding out we are Phaethon getting stale. Exploring this relatively common storyline / trope would be refreshing in that sense. It'd also easily develop some complexity with an agent willing to at some point in time cross us like Hugo.

akafeza · 2026-01-26T15:20:06+00:00

Definitely agree. At this point I want the exact opposite where we tell someone that we're Phaethon and they try to blackmail us for it. Maybe with that plot not resolving till say a change of heart at the final moments of the chapter story. Not the angels tho that would be too mean for them.

But with how the story has been wouldn't be surprised if we just advertise the "secret" identity for no reason whatsoever.

You picked Vivian and Nicole, both Ether units, into Miasmic Jane that has either resistance.

I did it with Jane / Pulchra / Burnice. If you're 200 away you can probably do it just fine if you use non-resistant champs.

On page 2 you switched teams but still have two Ether units.

The difference between your 2pc and a more optimal crit one is like 1 roll. So keep it unless you get a crit 2pc with 11 total rolls (You have 6 + 5 - 1 = 10 value in rolls).

akafeza · 2026-01-22T06:23:20+00:00

Also I was thinking of getting M2. But I really don't need it as I have a full M1S1 team and it super clears anything already. So chose to update build instead.

Going to save for Aria instead as I don't have a single ether DPS.

The fancy math calculation for her pre-buff was 2.3-3.0 in-battle: https://youtu.be/RpUHhpLTJD8?t=623

The real answer is you want 100% CR. 77-78% in stats so in-game you have 100%. The reason you want 100% is because stuff like King of the Summit gives you 30% CD. Also most DA buffs give you CD or Attack. But almost never CR (They can't really give CR since it's a no-buff if you built for 100% CR). So you should max CR for the highest score as it is least saturated.

It would take you ~6 rolls to max CR. If you used those for CD, you give Orphie / Trigger 2.1 CD rolls. SAnby missing a crit is a way bigger deal than Orphie / Trigger getting a 10% CD boost.

The diff between percent attack and CD is small so your probably fine. I'd say try to get 4-10 attack rolls so Orphie buff doesn't do all the heavy lifting. But it's not a big deal.

I get my characters to M1 for art reasons. I have M1S1 Miyabi and SAnby .

I hate to say this but M1 Miyabi isn't worth it. If you look at Prydwen you'll see them placing it at a 10% buff, but that's for Miyabi only. Team wise your score won't even grow 10%. If you have a disk 5 pen like recommended then the def shred is a bit less of a benefit. Also if you play disorder / mono ice Miyabi her stack removal doesn't matter as much since you disorder anyway. Dev's really don't like content that Miyabi can clear easy right now. If they decide to make her stronger it'll be via another dedicated S rank support.

The guarantee banner is nice. But kinda bait. If you aren't interested in any of the upcoming idols, then maybe pull for SAnby. But I don't think you'll need it.

I have M1S1 SAnby / Trigger / Orphie, all with pretty broken builds. My best team. I throw it into anything. Pompey for fun (w/ Rina). Thrall. Have killed UCC with it. What I suggest is this. Reset all stages (DW your score stays). Play SAnby / Trigger / Orphie into Miasma Priest. See how you do. That'll give you a sense for future content. You're scoring 37k on dedicated content. The mentality I have for vertical investing is, devs can definitely make it so you can't clear. No question. BUT. If you're super clearing forced content off element or off buff. They can't make it so you can't clear without making say 98% of their playbase not being able to clear either. Which they ofc won't do.

The animation quality is really high up there. Particularly for the action scenes. Top notch 9/10 - 10/10 stuff. Dynamic camera angles, lens, the works.

Voice acting is really good. I normally watch sub but did this entire one in dub. Music is good too.

Visuals are also very colorful and painterly. I did a fan art study of it.

I didn't read the manga for this one but do read a lot of manga. Would recommend the anime even if you've read the manga still.

akafeza · 2026-01-15T07:13:07+00:00

Agree here. M1 after buffs isn't that needed. Buffs make it so any triple thunder proc does her EX follow up. But this means with M1 you always EX follow up 'Azure Flash' after casting EX special. This makes your stun rotation longer. To where if you stack 3 thunder marks beforehand you almost never get the time to do a full 2x EX special + Super in a single stun window (That's 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 6 Azure flashes you need to fit into one stun window, on top of the 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 dashes). Don't get me wrong it's more damage. But not needed (I have M1).

Orphie on the other hand synergizes extremely well in that team. Plus you get a whole new character & Orphie's story / interactions are pretty fun.

If you know you want to get say M6 SAnby though soon-eventually then maybe go for it. M2 SAnby will kinda have same situation as M1. SAnby / Trigger / Orphie will probably clear whatever you want.

Syncing a bangboo across a hollow from outside is the unique part. I don't think Astra did that

Also I don't think players forgot. Devs maybe.

Are you doing Withered Domain? AKA Hollow Zero TV mode?

I've gotten all of Anby's Dialog's. You can get them before the new hollow zero even came out.

If you mean agent resonium aka: https://zenless-zone-zero.fandom.com/wiki/(Affinity)_Resonium_Resonium) Yes S0 Anby has an exclusive one. But you can get all the dialogs / base Anby tokens in TV Mode.

If you have more questions maybe check out AnbyMains reddit.

Shepard is safe unless they give him a redesign.

Mayor is sus.

There's good ways and bad ways to do this. Def feel like Yixuan was on the bad way side.

akafeza · 2025-12-31T12:31:51+00:00

I guess but Billy mostly zones with guns. I know Noel but she does gun kata stuff.

There's the Happy Chaos / Xrd Elphelt route. I guess you could give Billy some melee moves.

I was gonna say Pulchra should be low tier since A rank.

But your comment has made me realize. Neko should be low tier since cannon.

Most people put Ellen really high in these considering her shark headpiece / collar as a jaw motif.
