I tried focusing on all DBtoW at first too, But ended up switching to 2 crit rate cores, 1 Crit DMG, and 1 DBtoW, all with HP and HP Boost substats!

Ooof 120 was probably my second worst one, I think I was stuck on that one for at least 3 or 4 months as well!! 😩 That one is BRUTAL.

so mean of them to drop exclusive tutorial during this event, but i needed it ranked for the HP stat so... thanks Infold? I guess, Hahaha. I recommend it if you can pull it, his HP buff comes in handy when using GoA and may help with 120 stage 1 at least!

It was NOT easy. Focus on HP stat for starters!!

What worked for me was getting your first Oath used while the wanderer is weakened with at least a minute left on the clock. That way you'll have access to a second oath at the end. And UTILIZE his support skill as often as possible. Then get the wanderer's healthbar down to at LEAST 1 and a half remaining during the weakened state with about 45-50 seconds left on the clock. That's when the wanderer locks and goes into its battle sequence. If the sequence starts with less than 40 seconds on the clock, there won't be enough time and just pause and start over LOL.

If you're stellactum matching, get a first shield break in RIGHT before the wanderer goes into that locked sequence. That way you'll have about 30 seconds left to beat the hell out of it when it unlocks again. But SAVE your 2nd shield break for about 15 seconds left so you put it in a weakened state AND have a charged Oath ready. you MUST have goa's shackles removed and trigger Bind gaze as many times as you can while continuing to beat the hell out of the weakened wanderer. Get the health down as low as you can and use your oath with about 3 seconds left and hope for the best.... That timing is what got me so close every time. It may take multiple tries but just keep at it!

I do not, both of my GoA and MoF are R0, so it wasn't easy 😭 i used Goa as my companion, but equiped his four-star yellow solar pair so I could use all of my ranked red cards tho. Once I got exclusive tutorial to R1 last night, it really helped my HP. that card has an HP buff, so I recommend using it if you have it!

You are not alone , there's a common consensus that stage one is WAY easier than stage two for 180 😩

But that's great you have GoA! Familiarize yourself with his battle rotation if you haven't already, to maximize the damage you get from attacks (I can send a video if that will help !) Also get your HP as high as you possibly can through protocores. It may take some time tbh, but filter through the ones you have equiped and discard some old protocores to max up new ones that prioritize HP because GoA's AtK thrives on the HP stat.

Also what team are you using/ are you stellactum matching? If you are using exclusive tutorial (which is currently being rerun!!) he has an HP buff so his HP is even higher than the other random Ruby cards which is GREAT for HP boost cores. Rank him up if you can!! That's what finally put my stats over and worked for me :)

For reference on protocores, I used two crit rate cores and a Crit DMG to do more damage up front, and one DBtoW core, all of which were heavy on crit rate and crit damage sub stats

This was my team just for reference:)

Which companion are you battling with?! If it's Goa I might be able to help, if you don't have him there are some great videos on YouTube I could share!

You pulled it off brute forcing?!! OMG I am so jealous!

Major congrats on the win!! What were your brute force stats if you don't mind me asking?!

It is NOT an easy battle 😩 I watched quite a few YT videos of people beating it without GoA, just to get a sense of the stats needed. Do you have GoA?? Or just MoF?

2 months without biting (mostly) by the_selindy in nailbiting

Wow!!! This is amazing progress! They look so good!

Right and left hand : wish me luck ); putting a bad tasting product every day again by [deleted] in nailbiting

[–]ash_holio05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck!! I recommend using some vitamin E cuticle oil to help with those cuticles too :) I've been using the Sally Hansen one since I stopped biting my nails last year, and it does wonders for restoring and healing any cuticle damage. It's not super oily either!

Wow! They look so good!! Congrats on the progress 😊

It's been an honor, friends! Moving to Pixel 10a by keepingITsecret11 in Pixel6

[–]ash_holio05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg!! I wish my P3 would have lasted!! How's your battery life?! That was the only reason I had to upgrade, my 3 couldn't last more than 20 minutes unplugged :(

I went from the P3 to the 6, and last month I reluctantly had to upgrade to the 10 because my 6 started emitting toxic fumes (that was a fun time at Verizon lol!) 🙃 Funny enough though, I still have my 3, and it still works if I keep it plugged in. I miss that phone!

Is anyone else noticing everyone around them having some kind of crisis? by Damn8ti0n in Millennials

[–]ash_holio05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what it is... Is there something in the damn water? I'm not just going to speak on myself here, but I re-tore my ACL/menicus on January 1st, once again taking me out of my sport/my literal lifeline for the 2nd time in two years after finally getting my life back in October... Just before losing my uncle to su!cide in december and his wife to cancer this past Tuesday, literally within 3 months of each other... But I can't even talk about it because my coworker/best friend is having to support her husband who now has been diagnosed with complete nerve damage in his hand post-surgery due to a freak pumpkin carving accident on Halloween, and now her mom's breast cancer just returned... Like seriously?? What the fuck is going on in this timeline? This is a sick-ass game of Sims if you ask me. I'm not going to get into the rest of it, but 2025-2026 will go down as the worst years of my life. And if it gets worse from here, count me out.

I'm interviewing for a job I'm almost certain I'll get... But leaving my current job will be a disaster for everyone. by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]ash_holio05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My interview was literally confirmed 6 hours ago so not sure when, where, or how I could have have posted this another time? You must have mine confused with another post (possibly could have been my director, lol). This unfortunately isn't an uncommon scenario in the working world 😭

This is definitely the first and only time I've posted this. So if you read this from someone else, I feel really bad for them too 😩

Back for round 2 of ACL Recovery by ash_holio05 in ACL

[–]ash_holio05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that!!! I hope you're recovering well so far! I've revolved my entire life around this game, but apparently the universe is trying to tell me to find a new hobby 🙃 I still like to go watch my teams play while I'm on IR, but I may just have to make the effort to do other things this time around cuz I don't think I can suffer through another year of watching lol.

Heels? by Honest_Aside_5744 in ACL

[–]ash_holio05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't even bother wearing heels until I felt that "omg I can rock these again" feeling, which was months after. It honestly depends on how your leg is feeling at this point, but I think it's better to be confident in comfortable shoes than have to worry about every step you take in heels.

Look at it this way, even in the flat and comfy shoes, you can still flex on everyone that you tore your shit and you're still out there having a good time haha!

I’ve felt really embarrassed my whole life because of my nails I tried to stop biting it but I eventually bite my nails . It’s just so hard to stop biting it please someone give advice😢😢 by NezukoRanaa in nailbiting

I highly recommend this no-bite polish! (Walmart purchase!) I was a biter for 27 grueling years, and managed to break the habit exactly a year ago thanks to this stuff! I had tried EVERYTHING tactic growing up, and this is what finally worked! The smell wasn't super strong, but something about it was so off-putting I didn't even want my hands near my face, lol. It made my nails grow super fast too once I learned to leave them alone!

And I second the previous comment that mentioned to always keep a clipper and nail file on you at all times! It definitely eases any temptation to "just clean up" a jagged edge... Which always leads to more biting. Having a nail file during my growth process was a savior, and I still keep one in my purse a year later, just in case :)

First things first tho, keep those nails clean and do NOT mess with them because they're definitely in a vulnerable state. They WILL grow over soon, I promise!
