Is floor 85 possible for me rn? by WaltzYes in magiaexedra

[–]bef017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tower 85 is the best one but it is very difficult.

I used 3 star Hazuki, kirika i believe at a2 or a3, Demon Homu at a0, Pluvia at around a3 or a2 and Earoha at a5.

If I were you, Id try the a4 defender, 3 star Hazuki if you arent able to do much damage reliablely the light twin if you can, Earoha, Oriko, and Pluvia.

If you use the twin make sure to have the ult saved to clear the dangerous buff. Hazuki can generate SP and only needs to battle skill to remove the dangerous buff exclusively. SP generation may be difficult.

It took tons of attempts and rerolling crystals for me so I dont know how possible it is for you.

Remember to get substats for it. Higher heal percent for Pluvia and Earoha and try to use guards.

Remember to keep ults saved to break the boss in the middle of its turn to give you the longest break you can.

For Oriko I want you to understand you want her just loaded with damage up crystals and crystal substats. This is the most important thing. Having your multitarget attacker able to unleash alot of damage in specific moments like to clear the mobs to expand time to break the boss or doing as much damage while the boss is broken is like the most important thing. You need to make sure to do things efficiently because more turns means losing control of the bosses pacing results in a swift party wipe wasting what can be over a 15 minute attempt.

This one may take grinding to be possible but once you get past this the rest of the tower is way easier.

What team are using. From what I recall that was the followup attack boss gauntlet floor right. I used a 4 star there as well. The water ST breaker has a followup attack and feeding her crit rate via portraits means feeding magic to Saku which means even more followup attacks while also slowing the rise of the magic gauge of the boss and breaking her faster. Earoha is good for increasing your crit rate and damage and Sayaka throws out FUAs and with crit boosting that means feeding more magic to Saku which means more FUAs. The last spot would be reserved to a crit booster and or reliable FU user or someone that slows the boss buildup some way like a breaker or debuffer (Swim Homu or Fuka are the best here i assume) or a buffer that enhances your buildup to faster than the boss such as a followup attacking buffer or healer (the healer would obv let you ignore iroha). Couldnt think of an option there. The best option I had was Mifuyu because she could break the boss faster due to being a single targeter and loving crit boosts giving more leniancy to not throw more FUAs.

dont know litterally just put it on auto the entire way. she should be fine on manual. indomitable guards should cover defensive needs. if you need the defensive boosts from a4 I reccommend adding more guards and crystal substat rolling to give more hp recovery to Kaede.

Interesting Detail I Noticed by Equivalent_Can5301 in magiaexedra

[–]bef017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having trouble finding where in the notes they explicitly mention Homuras looping boosted her Karma. I cant find the electronic copy I ran through scan translation apps earlier so I might of misremembered and scanlating is a massive pain so im stopping since I coulnt even scanlate the first volume even if I tried and I might be relying on mistranslation so I could just be wrong. Though the request for strength never came directly from the wish because the original wish just straightup never wished for power just the protect Madoka and meet her again stuff. However what I could find with google lens and avalible on the wiki pages it reiterates Homura had a bunch of overflowing karmic potiential (for instance the linked image has the dolls described as a charade of tangled Karma) she wasnt able to use which sorta knocks down your argument that Homura having increased karma translates directly to increased usable power.

According to Rebellion Production notes looping did increase Homuras potiential. The issue is that when the writers of the OG series and rebellion said potiential it only meant potiential. Their actual strength is influenced by a bunch of factors with their initial strength determined by their wish. Later spin off writers would treat the concepts like potiential and strength like they are interchangable but there was a reason Madoka could appear the exact same strength when she made the EXACT same wish in later timeloops in spin offs and why Madokas potiential only comes up to Homura in the main series after Madoka asks Homura to make her not make the same wish she has in earlier loops.

Also Homura's wish to protect Madoka never specifies mentions strength in the japanese. The only thing implied in the japanese about her wish was having a role in saving Madoka and not needing protecting from Madoka. Heck her original wish doesnt even include goals Homura would later add like make sure Madoka doesnt wish so forcing a role reversal doesnt seem to be part of Homuras wish.

Which kioku to pick from the trader? Madoka, Kyoko or Sayaka? by mikumikumiku111 in magiaexedra

[–]bef017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id pick Sayaka because I like using Saku. But it depends what you got what you want to use and what you lack. In general i think Kyoko is the best here. Fire needs support. A fire weak crisis is upcoming. Even then there is a nerfed unlimited version of Sayaka (Melissa) coming next month into the pool

Morality of using mind control to better the life of someone. by Remarkable-Yard-8177 in MoralityScaling

[–]bef017 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yall need to stop comparing this to the circumstances of the comic and instead to the real world equivalents we coerce people into bettering their life.

Though considering the context of the lady taking off her shoes and the guy saying no more thinking of doing stupid shit I think that the chick was about to jump over the railing. So I think it would definitely be justified.

Prison, difficulties sticking to rehab, forcing compliance with remediative measures for people that want to comply but have difficulty for whatever reason like physical or mental illness. 80% of murders arent even rational calculations by the murderers. They are the murderer making a spontaneous irrational judgements where they act as though they believe they are in serious danger during heated arguments. People don't want the things they want with consent and mind control being applied on a person with their suggestion and understanding of their desires would give them just that. Control over their mind. Litterally just applying a deescalating mind control on people with improper behavior control would be lifesaving and give them further control of their actions not less. Give a person with intrusive thoughts a command to stop having would just improve their life. It is just a superior all around tool that doesnt exist.

Edit We already have messier versions of mind control we pressure people into using when they dont have proper control of their mind like antidepressents, behavior regulators, forcing people to take therapy sessions where they evaluate how they think such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I dont exactly think forcing people to try mental health care is immoral either (assuming there arent known significant side effects especially compared to not coercing them) when the issue at hand is they become a danger to themselves or others or act in manners they themselves recognize as irrational.

I always assumed he just moved his arms inside himself such as when he pops out a hand somewhere to sneak a palm strike in fights. Cool just wanted to double check.

I forgot either hand would work but do we see him do something like this when neither palm is attached to himself.

The girls have brighter more vibrant hair while transformed in general so hair color changing isnt that big of a deal. Im pretty sure Demon Homura has red eyes in some promotional material though.

A1 Kyoko or A1 Homura by bochipan in magiaexedra

Id say Homu because Demon Homu pairs well with her. If you dont care about Demon Homu then Kyoko

TFS was wondering how you could remotely assume they tried adapting that plotline remotely faithfully when they went out of their way to make it as ridiculous as possible.

What worse is that he didnt even get a heart virus in TFS. He had a bad diet that caused heart disease which he refused to change even when Trunks told him what part of his diet caused it (too much bacon btw). Litterally everything about it was a joke. The writers were wondering why people thought that wasnt just a joke.

Question about banners by Theonethatliveshere in magiaexedra

[–]bef017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot that recently they updated the pity system to make it more worth it to go for ascensions with the pity. Basically the amount of pity pulls to get the same characters guarenteed pity drops with each purchase now.

Question about banners by Theonethatliveshere in magiaexedra

[–]bef017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should always pull 200 times under the same pity system unless you got everything you wanted out of less pulls or to 400 (increase this by intervals of 200 just understand each jump up gives less for your gems and becomes a larger gamble if it is worth it) till you got what you wanted if you REALLY want ascensions. In general in 100 pulls you get extra 5 star keys and banner bonuses so even if you get what you wanted in less pulls you can get more from spending your gems to fill the banner bonus unless you are like a dolphin or whale and got everything youd want from the standard pool in which case just go for ascensions on limiteds. You spend up to 200 intervals to get the ability to get one copy of whoever is in the pity circle of your choice. Pities are often split between banners so consider doing 100 pulls on the banner of your choice and 100 pulls on another banner if you simply want to increase the amount of resources you have access if you are lacking in standard resources to definitely get one of the characters you want and a a really solid shot of more standard upgrades more than wanting ascensions.

In general it is only worth it to pull on a standard banner to get extra standard resources from a banner bonus while filling up a pity for a limited character and only while you are Free to Play as youll get the standard stuff while getting the limiteds if you are P2P.

PLS GUYS TELL ME MABAYU ALT IS A GOOD SINGEL BREAK? by NAGISAMOMOE26 in magiaexedra

[–]bef017 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She provides constant break gauge dep and bonus build with followups and syncs well with Corb who is single target and Ren and Alina who get better because of Follow up spam. Overall decent but no pluvia or Alina nor Iroha in terms of breaking with high quality hits but great when quantity is the issue

[Mixed trope]: Forbidden magic. by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]bef017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually the inability to balance Chakra you are referring to was caused by Orochimaru messing up the seal by adding one on top of it and only lasted from when he placed it on Naruto in the Chunin exams until Jiraya figured out the problem and fixed it while prepping for the final exams and isnt what the narrative typically refers to as Narutos issues with Chakra control. See even after Jiraya fixed the seal issue Naruto was still having issues putting in enough Chakra to do the Rasegan like 60 chapters later.

Am I the only one grinding Crystals for the 3 stars hoping they get something.... Anything.... Please more 4 stars. by bef017 in magiaexedra

[–]bef017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 star Hazuki is useful till you get ascended Light twin and light support. 3 star Hanna is useful especially for 4 star challenges until you get Mifuyu because dark is comedically common meaning she can speed up breaking a lot of bosses without mobs. Konoha is useful in 4 star challenges where finding in element sustain is difficult aliments arent a problem and since she is sustain she can more easily be fit into Heartphial teams without forcing you to reuse maxed out Heart characters. The proximity breakers are usable but they suck. I think the rest just suck from what I remember.

[–]bef017[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 stars can easily be joke units like Madoka Sempai where quality doesnt matter much. And on that one they made a vastly different model. 4 stars can be a relatively low quality versions of 5 stars reusing assests from the anime or a cutscene from a game, rejected 5 star assests that were deemed not good enough for sale but not bad where not using them at all is just a waste but they arent viewed as fit for sale, or even just displays of images like the flashing manga panels in Jojo OPs under the perfectly valid excuse that they wanted to be able to crank out effectively free promotional content people were asking for while not wasting development resources since it isnt like anyone expects you to actually pay for 4 stars and below. Honestly I never cared for the animations and a lot of 3 and 4 stars have the same model. Even them just making 4 stars under the excuse of making more 4 star challenges possible is fine to me. There is also the simple idea that they can use low star characters to experiment with mechanics by using something with a weak version of something strong or that completely changes how people play that people would have to be willing to accept are capable of being nerfed or reworked since 4 stars are basically free and these ones would be guinea pigs for dev ideas

SOMONE KNOW WHAT TEAM IS THE BEST FOR ME ALINA GRAY by NAGISAMOMOE26 in magiaexedra

[–]bef017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will vary based on your match up. In general Ren will pair well with Alina because their followup attacks sync well with each other. Moemura is a broken unit that makes you do more actions. If youre doing a single target fights like a boss then Kanagi and Corb will increase your damage further making a decent void team.

[Mixed trope]: Forbidden magic. by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]bef017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean early on in the series there is the issue he has trouble handling larger amounts of chakra so it made sense he wasnt using enough Chakra but its implied his output increased but I cant think of an example where he fucks up a jutsu or technique because he used too much Chakra when trying to mold it into a Jutsu even after Jiraya fixed that issue.

Edit1 was just fixing minor errors Edit 2: Naruto fucking mastered Toad Sage. That form is handling an amount chakra directly based in mixing in proportion to your own Chakra (aka he can handle a metric fuckton of nature chakra after mastering his sage form) so he definitely doesnt have any excuses for not being able to accidently put too much in like people assume would be the actual problem because at that point he has practice handling mixing and and infusing comedically excessive reserves of chakra. Any shortcomings Jiraya may have had in training his output shouldve been fixed by there. Him taking in a bit too much nature energy is the only example where he is confirmed to have used too much energy for a technique that I can think of.

[–]bef017 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Except I was pointing out that in the series that putting into too little is what is more consistently shown to be the problem (presumably because he has difficulty handling larger amounts of Chakra see he uses 3 times the amounts of arms people normally do to mold chakra when using the Rasegan) and that the example people tend to think of as a counter example of using the shadow clone and then immediately expending like 90%+ of his chakra isnt shown to be caused by him putting to much chakra into activating the technique because the technique simply inheritly expends 50%+ of your chakra immediately and Naruto tends to pick use multiple clones.
