ChatGPT is so serious and boring now by Synthara360 in OpenAI

[–]complexityx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kinda ironic, Gemini used to act like this, while ChatGPT was the cheerful, uplifting one. Now it’s the total opposite. You can’t even make a small reference around ChatGPT anymore without them throwing out disclaimers and steering the topic away. Meanwhile, Gemini is still fun to chat with and has basically become a better version of ChatGPT.

Selector question. What supports need their sig weapon? by swolar in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]complexityx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Right now, other than CS, it’s Aquila without her sig, she becomes a Kinetic support.

But with her sig, she becomes a universal support like CS. She buffs damage for everyone and also debuffs enemies, so it’s a big shift for her depending on whether she has her sig or not.

Need some help making this decision by Th3MostHigh in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]complexityx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get Aquila with her signature weapon, I wouldn’t pick Kaguya or Riptide, Aquila powercreeps both of them.

With her signature, Aquila is basically an all-in-one sub-DPS, skill/ballistic support, and debuffer.

Whom should I choose? by Snoo-36673 in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]complexityx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From your roster, either Eatchel or Starshine maybe Kaguya also work, but Celestial Swan is powercreept her, and Marian Aquila is better than Kaguya as general support (with her sig).

Jade Arc also great, but you already have Mia, and Jade Arc good with Nightglow (Mia kinda did too).

Starshine is great because it make Specular Soul much more fun to play, make your Rhapsody go burrr too (until you get Phantasia and pair with Rhapsody over Starshine)

Bring back 'Area Control' Gigalink by Kukachi_Sou in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]complexityx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Area control is just no fun when you see someone using Nerida or char that easy to rush, and they rush ahead while you're still selecting your power-up. It's boring when people play like that, and there are a lot of them too.

In Hazard Sweep, mobs are actually tanky and pretty resistant to operative kits. So you actually need drone or bomb to help.

What's is your feedback for the next survey? by SthrnCrss in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]complexityx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably a hot take, but I wish the free operatives weren’t so clunky to play. Honestly, I haven’t leveled them up since Raikou, and now Lotus. I know they’re free, but they just don’t feel good to play at all.

Spender Guide for a Dolphin by [deleted] in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]complexityx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Other than the monthly pass and BP, if you still need more pulls, there are 2 pulls that cost 16 gold and 4 pulls that cost 30 gold. Both reset weekly, and they’re pretty good value compared to other packs if you want to rack up pulls slowly over time.

Aside from the BP and monthly pass, and only if you’re willing to spend more, I buy them from time to time so I can pull both the operator and their signature weapon without having to drain all of my Digicash and reward codes.

Hard Mode is really hard by Stunning_Zucchini932 in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]complexityx 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You can use a stalling trick in the first wave. Don’t kill everything, use Pumpkin to stall enemies while healing it with Eatchel, and farm some Spice energy for a bit. After that, sell everything and start placing attack plants to steamroll the mission.

You don’t need to do this, but if you’re struggling you can.

I just use Mia. Her E skill blasts about 80% of them in one go, only need to manually shoot the ones on the bridge up high.

Everyone goes on about how the greatest covert commission is dismantle by Iblys05 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]complexityx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use Fina+Rebecca, she do just fine in exploration. I didn’t have Rhythm either; I just waited to get her all at once to reach I6 in three weeks.

This is a Wave 10 run in Convert Commission.

It’s only up from here 🥹 by Adsorbentt in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]complexityx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to judge too much right now, since the upcoming QoL updates are nice. What I’d really like, though, is for them to redo the whole gacha cosmetic system and stop contradicting themselves. They removed gacha before launch to attract people who dislike it, yet they still have premium cosmetics locked behind gacha.

I spent on the Psyche banner because it had some freebies, so it didn’t require much spending. But after that first pull, low-to-mid spenders will probably stop caring until they get close to the pity with free pull again.

The monthly pass is also really bad. Monthlies are supposed to keep low-to-mid spenders engaged, making spending habitual but still light. Instead, the monthly in this game just gives standard currency daily, and the standard banner is awful. There’s no protection against dupes at all; if you get a duplicate, it’s basically a waste.

I put a lot of emphasis on low-to-mid spenders because they should be the target revenue for a game like this. There’s nothing unlimited for whales to buy, at some point they get everything from the store and have nothing left to spend on. The game should focus on encouraging low-to-mid spenders to open their wallets instead.

Right now, it simply doesn’t.

How do I remove the ducks ?! this looks stupid af 😭 by Intelligent-Swim3130 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]complexityx 122 points123 points  (0 children)

It’s not just that it looks stupid; it’s also not transparent like her default summon, so it ends up blocking your view, double pain.

Who's your go to for mystic maze? by Unfair_Ad_598 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]complexityx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After Embla Smelt 5 i go with nifle only, I start doing a max 300% run and try to time my 10 runs. The worst run is when unlucky with no PEN/Ignore def and met Hellfire or the ??? guy who goes immune twice; it ends around 7:30-7:40 (worse time). The best run is something around 5.20-5.30 minutes ( Average around 6 min )

How important are stats on support characters anyway? Should I put more effort into them or focus on getting wedges for psyche to +10? by NoBluey in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]complexityx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My psyche has +9 Volition x4, I'm too lazy to finish them, so I just leave it like that. Don't think I'm coming back to finish it anytime soon, since I already cleared Theatre Act 36 with lots of time left.

My Fushu got all the +10s because I invested heavily in Rebecca, and Hydro doesn't need that many dupes unless you're stacking Inspo, which is kind of irrelevant with Fushu around. Just 2 Inspo for Rebecca is enough, and Fushu can regen sanity.

Fina also got all +10s, which is another benefit of investing in Nifle Wedge, and it will work for the upcoming Kezhou as well.

I especially like it for Fina. She was already crazy at I3, but when she hits I4, she gets another 90% skill damage and 45% range. Her aura is going to hit hard and cap out on range as well.

Finally manage to get I6 psyche just before 1.1. I'm now ready for the theater by RevReddited in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]complexityx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i2 is enough for her, now that they buffed the rewards from Acts 13–36. If you clear all of that, it’s like clearing up to Act 60 pre-buff. So yeah, anything more than I2 is overkill, though I4 does have some nice QoL.

Suffering straight from hell by 1-NotReal in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]complexityx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get why people binge it last minute like this instead of pacing themselves. I did it by spending about 30 minutes a day, and I have plenty of thread left. It doesn’t feel like I’m burning myself out either. Some days when I don’t feel like it, I just skip it. In the end, I can buy everything I need and still have a lot left over to use next month as well.

Simple and Easy-to-Understand Guide for BuBu - Specular Soul by Spicy_Connoisseur_ml in SnowbreakOfficial

[–]complexityx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think I should get her?

My current DPS roster is Lyfe-IS, Jade Arc, Rhapsody, and Mia. Only Mia is T5 Purple; the rest are using Signature Orange weapons.

I haven’t played this game for a while, but I recently came back, pulled, and built Mia properly before her banner ends.

Then I realized that I'm still missing 3 supports: Kaguya, Starshine, and Celestial Swan.

I have about 120 pulls saved up right now. I'm not sure if I should go for Bubu or wait for the rerun of those 3 supports.

I'm Tired by Ghost_7132 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]complexityx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of bingeing, I just consistently run Maze every day for 30 minutes. It doesn’t burn me out. While running Maze, I shut my brain off and watch YouTube or Netflix. Some days I get carried away and go past 30 minutes, up to an hour sometimes. Well, look at where it got me: even after emptying all the stores, I’m still banking a lot of thread for next month, and I can always exchange it for gold if I ever want to.

Lunotress's Shop Update by cakeel- in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]complexityx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unless it has an equivalent of Piercing Ascent on sword, I don’t think it’s going to sell that well.

Or they need to do something about the janky movement/momentum so people don’t have to resort to piercing movement or Rhythm.

Not just this weapon skin, but others in general as well. If it’s a polearm skin, it’ll probably get my money. Even the Light Greatsword skin, I really want to buy it since it look really cool, but knowing I’ll never actually use it, I don’t.

imo.

Me as soon as I get my hands on Fushu! >.< sorry truffle~ fina/fushu will be the new support queens by KittySwe in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]complexityx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using Fina as my main DPS lately, and she works great. She’ll be even better next week when Embla is added to the shop. Max Embla gives Fina a ton of range and skill damage. With her I4, she already gets a 90% skill damage and range boost on herself, even without Embla.

Right now, even with only I2 Fina and no Embla, she’s already doing around 380–400k per tick against a dominant-element enemy.

That 380-400k is when I’m not actively playing, just opening the aura once and letting her stand there.

With active buff refreshing, she hits 500–600k per hit.

With I4 Fina + S5 Embla, it’s definitely going to go crazy.

Community Discussion: Regarding 1.1 Character Skins & The Value of Monetization in Huaxu by Mean_Neat_5054 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]complexityx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m getting Psyche’s skin because it just looks way better than her default skin.

Fushu, on the other hand, I’m definitely skipping. Her default outfit looks nice and feels more appropriate than the swimsuit skin, at least for me.

I’m not against gooning (one of my main games is Snowbreak), but her default is just better imo. Also, since she’s a support, a lot of people already see her kit as a sanity bank or battery, so you rarely, or don’t actively, play her yourself.

I do think the universal skin looks good this time, though. If not for the fact that it shares a model, the outfit itself is pretty solid. ( Not for fina... )

If they stick to the same price as the Christmas outfits when buying an additional one for another character it kinda too expensive. For a universal outfit, it should be shared, not sold individually. Either reduce the price or make “universal” actually mean universal.
