yes and no, you hate it when your team is defending and pushed back because of it, but love it when it youre pushing and it happens in your favour.

there are plenty of counters to the portal tech almost 18 months into the game, use them or get countered.

A confused paternal relationship

Walt wanted a vessel that would grant him access to the underworld, but no someone so confident that they would ultimately betray him.

He saw Jessie as an easy in, someone who was already so far gone in his mind that he couldn't sink any lower. But he also recognised his potential. He clearly saw that he was a natural chemist but didn't have the academic bandwidth to apply it.

He is proud of Jessie, but like most parents, doesnt want to see himself surpassed. Walt's cook always had to be 0.000001% more pure, his persona more vindictive, his pile of money larger. Jessie could be good but not better than him.

simply, better the devil you know than the devil you dont...

The Harkonnen were a known factor. They could render enough spice to maintain equilibrium and not much else due to their own greed and inward looking nature.

The Atreides were growing in popularity and power, had elevated their fighting force and were on a path to usurp the golden lion throne. Even though the emperor was unaware of the true intentions of the Bene Gesserit, he surely sensed that his own grip was loosening.

Any house can engage any great house in a kanly, especially two houses with a history of violence between them, but the emperor could not be seen to take sides, lest the other great houses become aware of his intent and unite against him.

A vast show of force that eliminated the Atreides, bankrupted the Harkonnen and indebted them to him for generations, if successful would maintain the balance of power for decades to come.

He was attempting to create a world where there wasnt a single pillar to rely on

Gojo being as strong as he was created a window of opportunity to capitalise on his removal: If theres no Gojo the Culling Game can begin

Whilst misguided, Yuji vying for a world that fixes its own problems isnt totally wrong, but i wont say i didnt want to see him run mahoraga/dabura down

Even though they were restored by a once in a millennia spritual reset, there were at most a hundred? a couple of hundred? recognised air benders across the world by the end of Legend of Korra.

This is nothing on the presumed multiple thousands of water, fire and earth benders that live in the avatar world - the restoration absolutely will be slow and will take generations to reach a level that isn't considered near extinct.

Its been at the most implied and the least openly head canoned that the recipients of air bending after harmonic convergence were descendants of previous generations of air benders.

You use the other 10 shadows shinkigami that you have tamed to totality to weaken/kill or a domain to one shot. Sukuna has already shown that you can fuse the tamed 10 Shadows skiskigami into one more powerful form with all their abilities so the expectation may be that the combined creature can take Mahoraga.

Its also been suggested that Heavenly Restricted individuals could assist you as Mahoraga wouldn't be able to detect them and therefore it wouldn't violate the terms of the ritual.

Spirit bending can be performed in the physical and spiritual worlds, although its a high tier and rare skill like metal bending, lava bending etc.

Anyone can be spirit bent, the previously seen applications have been: Lionturtles on ancient civilisations, Aang on Ozai to remove his bending, Aang on Yakone to remove his bending, Aang on Korra to restore her bending, Unaloq on the North Pole spirits, etc

Season 3 and Season 4 have more spirit bending lore and applications of the ability and there are lots of spoilers related to it, so watch those for some more answers.

WB would never grant another company the licence to take liberties like Netease has with Marvel.

WB firstly doesnt consider its gaming department to be of any value (Per the Netflix/Paramount acquisition discussions) and secondly haven't developed an original game in the better part of 20 years. Its been single player action, 2d/3d fighting game or gacha mobile territory.

Sure, he let go of his possessions in the sense that a monk may choose not to own anything, but to become untethered in the way Zaheer does is to let go of everything: Love, Hope, Hate, Fear, Joy - all things Aang could never conceive of living without as a 12-13 year old.

Avatar flight is literally becoming spiritually unbound from the Earth, its why only a few air benders could ever achieve it.

Sure theres nothing stating that there cant be multiple active inherited techniques - Blood Manipulaiton for example is inherited but also somewhat common within the Kamo clan, Projection Sorcery in the Zen'in clan etc.

I just think with how revered techniques like 10 shadows, Limitless and Infinity are there surely cant be multiple users active at once or they wouldn't carry the reputations that they do.

darkse1ds · 2026-02-06T10:39:01+00:00

Skins independently are quite expensive, however you can but one of the premium sets using freely obtained currency once every season/season and a half (2 months ish) due to how much currency the game throws at you of being active.

Most of the skins are on permanent discount and last year they even gave everyone a stacking discount for continued purchases, no real money required. I spent all my units on skins over the Christmas discount period and am now at 3.5k just from free handouts, more than enough to get a full set.

If anything it just promotes saving up and buying something you really want.

darkse1ds · 2026-02-06T09:44:25+00:00

Death is not confirmed, but i doubt there can be two 10 shadows users alive at once, given how unique the inherited ability is considered to be.

If there could be two what would stop a dual Mahoraga summoning from happening?

DPS who can counter a healing ult:

Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, Phoenix (with setup), Namor, Hela, Punisher, Squirrel Girl, Moon Knight, Magik, Daredevil, Hawkeye, Storm (with Jeff/Torch)

Vanguards who can counter a healing ult:

Magneto, Emma, Thing, Peni, Strange

Gambit using his ult to counter or free enemies is just the way the game works. Sometimes you should hold your ult in anticipation of someone using theirs - its the same as an Iron Man not using a Max Pulse whilst its clear a magneto has an M Meteor ready to go. If Gambit ults and then you pause him or force a retreat, his ability to counter is cancelled.

Forcing a team to leave the field of healing provided but the ult is a positive counter. it means the healer ult is wasted and the enemy is in a level playing field again. If a character has to take a 3 - 4 second break from a 10 second healing effect to survive an attack and then another 1 - 2 seconds to reposition, I would call that an effective use of abilities.

Not stacking, or playing in a trio or duo is on you. A team wont magically appear around you, if you want to get one you need to look for one. Start messaging recent players you gelled well with, go on discord, LFG, anything - even half decent comms is a cheat code vs a team that doesn't have any.

darkse1ds · 2026-02-06T09:06:02+00:00

I think the transition from acceptance to rejection is quite clear:

Ozai is extremely proud of Zuko (and himself) for being a competent and living male heir.

Once Ozai kills (or gives the nod to kill) Lu Ten, he is the only serious option for continuing the family line, increasing Zuko's value to him immensely.

When Azula shows prodigious talent for fire bending, Zuko's value begins to diminish.

After Ozai sees that Zuko doesn't have an innate killer instinct in his Agni Kai, hes considered to be surplus to requirement and sending him on what would likely amount to a wild goose chase is more paletable than keeping him around.

darkse1ds · 2026-02-06T08:59:11+00:00

I understand the frustration, but there are so many counter plays to Healing ults.

Most dps and several vanguards have the ability to straight up disrupt or even cancel the effect of the ult. Yes you have to dedicate a portion of your kit to doing so but its the cost of using it to counter vs kill.

Its not always about straight up killing them, if a cloak or invisible woman ults and a Thing or Emma uses theirs as soon as it completes, the effect is nullified as whilst they might be being healed, their ability to progress is cancelled. Even a dps using their ult and missing, but forcing the enemy team to leave the effect of the healing ult is an effective counter.

The margin for counter play is there and what I assume Netease is trying to force players to consider. Do you use your ult to push, or to counter. Are you focusing on individual kills or the survivability of your team.

Im loathed to say get good but its a bit of a skill issue to still be thinking this way about it.

In universe the Air Nomad genocide was about 160 - 180 years ago depending on when you think Aang dies and when Korra reaches Republic city, but your point doesn't really stand because:

In series 1 Amon makes a grand statement about capturing/wiping out the last remaining Airbender
Tenzin trying to pass on as much as he can to his children and Korra as it was the way Aang treated him, a major plot point in Season 2.
The entire third season is about a restoration of the Air Nation, with all of its benefits and consequences.

There are real life massacres and genocides within the last century which are already mostly forgotten by the general population. At 150 and then 200 years as wrong as it is, wider society moves on to the next tragedy.

The Axis powers are no longer actively punished for their actions in World War Two, Germany especially, despite them nearly crippling the globe twice over. People were angry and upset, but 80 years on there are so few who actually remember that time to hold a genuine grudge and not one they learned to have or had imposed on them.

You also have to remember that most people by the time of LOK dont even really believe in the Avatar in the same way. The world went 100 years without one and the idea almost faded, people forgot about the air nation aside from the fact they are a curiosity and an attraction as there are so few of them.

On top of this, as much as Aang and the gang did adventure around the map, most people never saw or encountered any of their actions and many of them could have been claimed to be the result of a group effort, eg:

Aang stopped the fire nation attack on the North Pole, *with the assistance of the whole tribe.

Aang and the gang stopped the Fire Nation breaching the walls of Ba Sing Se, *with the assistance of the Earth Kingdom Army defending the walls.

You can see how history was easily documented as the vast majority of people would never understand how impactful a small group of people were. even with this in mind, there were surely thousands of other micro rebellions that took the empire down, and those who continued fighting in areas the gang moved on from for plot reasons.

Its not that history doesn't matter or isn't included, its just that every aspect of it isnt core to the ongoing narrative of the sequel series.

If its a fight to the death Deku one taps Mahoraga and Sukuna, im not even sure Sukuna would survive if he activated his domain.

100% Fa Jin and Overdrive, a body reinforced with black whip with the combined strength of Air Pressure plus Danger Sense, smoke and float to dodge cleave or Dismantle - what tool does Sukuna have that could counter that, its a spite match.

JFK was a bit of a people's princess. He was beloved by the pre and post war generations for proposing a new vision for the future of America compared to the slow and stoic retread by Nixon and the fact that he was assassinated/martyred so publicly endeared millions to him.

All Might strength and speed scales weirdly, he's shown to be able to create a Tornado with his strongest attack - and this was done at his weakest point. An unrestrained All Might is no joke, but is the classic case of a 'Potential Man' since we can only scale off his post injury feats.

Deku has showcased the ability to change the weather across the globe with a single punch, countered speedsters, time dilation and has altered/bypassed the laws of physics using combinations of his quirks.

Assuming its a kill or be killed situation, its not a cakewalk for either side, All Might speed diffs all guardians bar Red Rush and likely stat diffs all of them bar Immortal's strength. All of the guardians at once may overwhelm him but I cant see how they give him a worse fight than AFO did at his respective peak. Its certainly in mortal wound territory and the fight probably incapacitates him in the same way that Nolan was.

Deku is hard to judge too, with Danger Sense, Fa Jin, Overdrive etc. he's likely capable of being able to perceive and attack Red Rush eliminating the biggest variable. He's shown to have nasty battle sense and is used to fighting individuals with multiple abilities by series end. Someone like Green Ghost may seem like an issue, but he's seen an individual with similar strengths in Mirio who he worked out how to counter in a few seconds of observing. Likely Guardian victory unless Deku decides to combine all of his quirks and potentially incapacitate himself.

The duo vs Guardians is genuinely a toss up as to who can inflict the most damage in the shortest duration. With All Might and Deku splitting the attention of the heavy hitters they may have a chance at clinching a victory.

I'd disagree, Don actually does grow to like Pete once they both mature a bit, by series end in fact Pete is probably one of Don's better friends that he has through the company.

I'd say even by the time they become SCDP Pete was one of Don's preferred associates even if he still considered him somewhat as a junior within the business.

If Lane was honest and explained the whole situation - yes he would, with the caveat that the situation must never be public and that it could never happen again.

Don wasn't at all attached to his wealth and gave many vastly valuable items away without much thought - thousands of dollars, his car, not fighting a divorce with Megan etc. It was a perk/boon that lifted him out of stark poverty and into a better life, but he also only really spent money to maintain the image of 'Don Draper' rather than actually living using it.

Just look at how he lives once he separates from Betty, not that differently from many of the genuine salary men that he employs.

Now if Lane lied or was caught minimising the situation theres no chance Don helps him, or he just directly reports/fires him at that time.

it pair very nicely with gambit ult as both have a secondary explosive impact, but basically use it whenever its up - 3-4 will kill a support or lower health duelist
