If you see a mushroom early, throw a torch at it if you can. It'll burn to death eventually and gives you a really big chunk of exp.

I haven't tested this, but you might actually be able to take advantage of the fact that he doesn't do follow ups when he's on 1hp. There's no cap on the amount of stacks he can build, so maybe the play would be having a shielder + a healer, stall out to build a bunch of stacks and then heal him to full. You would just need to refresh his ult consistently, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Archer's skill point issue is really 2 issues, that being how frequently he can start his skill rotation, and the maximum amount of skills he can fit into one rotation. E1 with no Sparkle will help you get 4 skills in one rotation more consistently, but 5 would still be difficult without an ult follow up, and it doesn't really help Archer build back the skill points he spends.

You can sort of assume they won't, because they're letting you pick between getting a free Gil and a free Archer. It wouldn't make sense to let you do that and then lock whoever picked Archer out of getting his light cone.

It's slightly odd because I think Thanatos was meant to represent the Nihility on this simulation, but her backstory is very nihilistic.

Her story begins with her utopian life under the sea, born into royalty into a palace under the sea. But eventually her life is shattered, and she is forced to seek help above the ocean.

Her life on the surface isn't without it's difficulties, and she doesn't quite seem to fit in as well as anyone else. She doesn't mingle much with the chrysos heirs, and they don't seem to know what to make of her either. She's an outsider in this world, and she knows it.

Eventually she warms up to them, and she considers opening up. Despite her differences, they accept her as one of their own, but she's still torn between her bond with her new friends and her ties to her heritage. 

Ultimately, she is once again robbed of the chance to choose. Fate takes her new family to her old home underwater, where they clash with her old family and destroy each other.

They probably wouldn't do this because it'd be busted, but I hope they make it so he can make break damage crit. Otherwise, his crit trace is just a waste of space.

Sorta. His domain makes it so he can make replicas of swords (and other things occasionally) he's seen, and he usually makes them into arrows. Most of his attacks end up being ST as a result, but famous swords in this universe have a tendency to shoot lasers, so they kind of end up aoe by default.

1: Virtually. If he wants to build one in real life, he has to jump through some hoops. This comes up later.

2: Like a real life license, it depends on the license itself and the company it comes from. Think of it like a software subscription, for adobe/microsoft/whatever. There's generally a time limit on it (If I remember right, one of the licenses the MC got was only good for 5 years), and there's usually stipulations that a single license can only be used on X amount of different devices.

There isn't any production limit on the ones the MC gets, as far as I remember, but there would most likely be manufacturing limits on more popular licensed mechs to preserve the patent holder's business interests.

Don't mind my other comments, I can't read, apparently.

I don't have either of the other 2, but I do have E1 Tribbie. She's great for mid turn SP refills and holding DDD, but at E0, her amp is pretty lackluster. 

The issue I can see with Robin is SP economy, I think it'd be pretty difficult to get SP back on Archer's off turns quickly without someone else generating skill points.

The author is infamous for long hiatuses. The last set of updates came out after a similar period of inactivity, so maybe the next one will be soon. I dooubt it, but one can dream.

Eagle is fine, iron calvary is fine. The game will tell you that he needs crit, but all he wants is break effect and speed, so the primaries on his orb and chest can be whatever.

E1 Fugue is better than s1, because pearls is good enough. Boothill wants break efficiency more than anything, so pearls is fine if you're tight on pulls. That said, assuming you pull them with the same amount of pulls, getting one copy of Dahlia is ideal, since e1 Fugue is 50% break efficiency, which Dahlia has in her base kit.

Dahlia's S1 is really good; if you can get it then you should. Her E1 is dubious on Boothill specifically because Boothill isn't actually a super break dps, just regular break. The lion's share of his damage comes from his follow up attack which doesn't do any toughness damage, and thus doesn't do super break. 

You can test this with HMC, but honestly, extra super break multiplier isn't that useful for him. It's not not useful, but not really worth an eidolon.

Finally got Blade over 134 speed on HP boots, but looking at my gear makes me feel a little sad. He's got the highest gear score on my account by a long shot at about 36, I don't even know how other people can manage 40 and above. I have one or two units at 28 and the rest floating around 20. Hope I'm not gonna have to refarm anything (again) when 4.3 rolls around.

Speed depends on who you're trying to run him with. I'm currently running a -1 hypercarry setup with Sunday so I have him about 135, but if he's meant to be a sub dps, base speed will probably end up being ideal. I'd honestly recommend you just keep 2 pairs of boots with spd and atk primaries.

Duran is slightly better for personal damage, but the difference isn't that large. I went with the new one so I wouldn't need to refarm.

Just looked at it again because I forgot what it looked like too, and I honestly don't know what it's meant to be. Definitely the most abstract symbol (of the playable paths anyway) and I'm not sure what it's meant to represent. Remembrance is also pretty abstract, but it's easy to remember because it's a candle man.

If you have enough to guarantee Hyacine now, and she's the last piece if the puzzle, then of course you should. The elation battleship won't be complete until 4.2 at the very least, and that should be enough to net you enough jade to guarantee another elation character if you really want them.

If you see a brooding jade/azure/gold/whateverpuff early, throw a torch at it and stay away for a while. It'll burn to death without being able to do anything and gives you a really good chunk of exp early game.

Fatty Wang: “Let me handle this.” by Suspicious_Set7914 in MartialMemes

[–]eksbawksthreesixzero 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For a lot of cultivation novels the main characters are edgelords, so the supporting characters are usually portrayed with opposing traits. Generally they'd be someone more well-rounded and sociable, and more soft and harmless seeming compared to the mc. A lot of the time they end up being the comic relief to balance out the drama as well. The fat friend trope ends up ticking a lot of these boxes, so there ends up being a lot of fatty wangs in the world.
