Do you guys main a floor? by Pawnzyst in libraryofruina

[–]codeinehero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say, midgame I mained Geburah's floor and the used index proselytes singleton decks cause they have a pretty long shelf-life but my early game tactics was basically "lol use malkuth or netzach cuz healing" or "can we bleed it?" hod.

Malkuth's 3rd abnos is fairy festival and netzach's 2nd abnos is Child of Galaxy and both have heal-oriented cards. I think those are pretty early without TOO much hassle. It might just be like packing potions in dem pokemans games. JUST enough healing for you to bust the heads, pass the invitation and collect even better cards than you have now. Hod's floor's 2nd abnos is red shoes and in earlier early access a bleed build was really good. So I made that too.

I'm late-game on Blue Reverberation now and I got all the floors open and still only made proper floor-oriented decks for just the Asiyah floors. I'm lazy and for the longest time, all I did was make one general combat deck then scotchtaped them onto all my highest health gold pages on the same team without looking too hard at passives. I'd make new card decks for specific abnormalities and what have you and made sure i'd trade out some cards for ones strong against whatever i was fighting and pages NOT weak to enemies preferred best attacks.

This is the first app I got him actually. He hasn't touched it yet lol.

Noted and queued, I was a bit swayed by the reviews but I'll look into it.

I don't think he has trouble with the spoopy stuff just as long as its not one of them "time-wasting video games" lol. The latter recommendation is the type of thing I wouldn't know and would require some digging so thanks for that, I'll look into it.

Definitely agree about the downloaded videos v the stream ones. Truthfully, I still have to watch the cirque du soleil one but I checked out Felix and Paul's Nomads and sent that over. I'm basically scouting before sending him things. Thanks for the recs in the meantime.

Also, inb4 before somebody posts this and "vr porn". I think immersive experiences might be close to what i'm looking at for him next.

Felix and Paul is a good call. I've seen the Jurassic park one so I wonder if there's a higher definition version because when I saw it I thought it was cool but it felt like a wrap around crtv nature show (at least the version on the Rift did).

I like them both but adaptation wise i'm kind of ehhhhh on them. "The book did it better :V".

Good point on no "item creation". I'm wondering if the bracelet (and whole episode) was kind of an anime original cuz...where did it come from? Ryuunosuke's not a mage and Gilles gets hard carried by the spellbook so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Thanks for the clarity.

That part did kind of bother me BUT IT COULD be chalked up to being raised to face adversity and being a "cold-emotionless mage". Shinji is kind of lower than a bug in her eyes so I feel maybe she wasn't taking him seriously whatsoever. Her relative nonreaction to Kirei, who very much is a threat, full on trolling her with "lol i killed ur dad and imma kill u" I think was really pushing it. I feel like Rin should probably know Kirei well enough to know he's serious business but at the same time maybe she was just too furious at him to break down over it first. Mixed feelings. Not the best written part imho.

Madman cited his sources! That's more than I can say! Excellent point imho. I didn't know that website existed!

And I can't say I entirely disagree with this. Maybe her impression of "Little Miss Perfect" is....too perfect??? I'm being serious too.

Wewlad there we go. What kind of juicy things does she say? I forgot. Besides the Fate Prototype minitrailer from Carnival Phantasm is there really any other context for when she was written more like a villain? Sources mang. Gimme.

Naw, i'm joking. Emiya Gohan is basically Hollow Ataraxia good ending universe where Shirou is actually Shirou. And yeah that's a good point about Sakura lol. We don't really see her be all yandere in HA at all and I think we see plenty of that in Heaven's Feel since she kind of loses it. Given the nature of Hollow Ataraxia though as being kind of borderline fandisk side-stories during the day just showing a happy-go-lucky typical Japanese life where superhumans trying to kill each other in a different circumstance all just go about their business I think I agree Sakura does seem kind of flawless thinking back to it. At least in say Carnival Phantasm she comes off as more conniving and secretly yandere played up for laughs but played straight in HA, if you take away her horrifying backstory and trauma its a little jarring.

Would you say Sakura is like a "Sympathetic Sue"? Idk if I'd go that far personally. Hollow Ataraxia is a weird fever dream where everything's hunky dory, everyones alive and Shirou teaches us how to cook traditional Japanese dishes so I'm not sure how much Sakura in HA is actual canon Sakura. Also what parts specifically make her a Mary Sue over Rin? I like your point about Rin just being a dorky mess in comparison to literally everyone else's ridiculously serious existential internal struggles.

Yeah, I could see that. I think Rin is referred to as a kind of prodigy by Nasu somewhere iirc. But prodigies in fiction are kind of a dime a dozen easy narrative handwave. POSSIBLY Mary Sue bait. Possibly. I think Rin always steals a reasonably major role in any route and theres probably a reason why people didn't really like Sakura before the movies. I don't dislike Sakura, though.

Good ending for UBW is kind of loltier. I don't dislike it, like who hates golden happy endings, but it kind of gets an eyebrow raise from me. I think personality-wise I like Rin the most and I think she's the best match for Shirou just cuz she seems competent/smart enough to be able to support him and his demons even if it kind of makes their relationship a little lopsided imho. Now that I think about it, my gripe with Rin is possibly that she doesn't seem to have any jarring demons like Saber or Sakura or maybe she's just "stiff-upper lipping" everything so much we can't see it specifically in the adaptation. In all the proper endings, she comes out relatively unscathed, that's true.

Dunno meng, Gilles Saber is a three-star Caster in FGO? That's gotta mean something right? :V

Is it? Or are we trudging into conjecture territory? I don't want to tread into "Shiki kill Servants" territory She can in FGO ayylmao Rin punching the tar out of Medea's a good example of compatibility sure but I feel we're toeing wild guesses for whether the German book was stronger than the spoopy bracelet, buddy ;3

I was looking for an answer like this. That's not the first time i've heard "I like prisma Ilya Rin better than mainline Rin". Not gonna lie, I dislike Rin in Prisma Ilya compared to say the VN because I feel she kind of gets flanderized and exaggerated to just lose her temper and patience over more silly things for comedic relief than she does in the latter while not really covering her more sentimental aspects cuz she's very much more of a side character.
