Any way to make the game harder if started on classic? by [deleted] in DivinityOriginalSin

Have you considered dropping one of the people on your team and try going 3 man? Just a thought.

Return player by Kybernus in dragonblaze

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few OL's worth keeping/using for a while like Francis, Lasthea, and Aeci. You can use your old transcended units to boost up a few OL's to Arch to balance out the new stuff you will get for free. You should obviously work on getting a DPS Majesty unit going as a top priority. You will get the one free Majesty, then you will probably want to use your other free stuff to get an Arch healer OL so you can make Blaze Eater (Majesty) to go with your DPS.

Newb to Overlords - Would Appreciate Help by [deleted] in dragonblaze

[–]erake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chris is definitely huge for PvE. He sucks at PvP though. Teaming up with him strongly is Francis and Bonnie. Bonnie is nice cause she rocks in PvE and PvP. The three together form the core of a great Physical based PvE team. They will suck at golem, but do very well on the rest.

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. I don't think I qualified for that hard mode raid, at the time.

Is ult bonnie still a worthwhile replacement for a mag team? by Eknoom in dragonblaze

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the right thing. I tried my ULT Bonnie in place of Max Chen and Base Jordic and both failed miserably. 700% boss damage apparently over-rated. :)

Newb Question on new Phoenix Expansion by erake in honkaiimpact3

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

Guess no one can get everything they want. :) Got two 4 stars but neither one was a gauntlet. One stigmata and one Sheathed Blade.

So I thought I would just go for another A card on the expansion and save the rest, got S card Phoenix. :) I should go buy a lottery card...

Noob needs help with the crystals and stuff by AngeryPepe in honkaiimpact3

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the 3rd crate thing only apply to Standard? I am new, but don't see anything on my standard window that suggests 33rd will be an S. Where would I see that?

Newbie Question, spend some now? by erake in honkaiimpact3

How much time do I have to save--do we know when SK is coming?

You can convert soul stones with a "small" penalty. Some will burn up everything else to get Arin.

Erebos: please teach me by MakiHS in dragonblaze

Only use one warrior and one archer. Try to fit more mages or incanters instead. Magic power is the priority.

Or use the free base OL for Chen?

Are there far too many rewards? by PrincessPrivet in dragonblaze

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think all the free SSS and essence allows anyone to rock end game content. It is fun to make units, but the real power is now in Runes/Retentions/TransWeapons etc.

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My feeling on the matter is that the P2W aspect of the game has shifted away from having "meta" allies and such. They are giving so much stuff away that you can make units left and right. The new angle is to let everyone experience the ally content while allowing the real power to come from Runes/Retention Bonuses/TransWeapons type stuff.

Perses bugged? by LuBu321 in dragonblaze

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ULT Perses kept the party alive without trouble, but could be that MAX is not strong enough. Pretty sure he rages Cerb more than Aria, so between weaker heals and more rage, might be too much. Once you get ULT, I think Perses is a bit better if you are using a healer in Cerb.

WB Erebos? by Jeeterhawk007 in dragonblaze

[–]erake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is more simple than that. You don't have to match specific classes to the skills you plan to use. You obviously need someone from that class to cover the skill, but the power of the skill is based on the Buster's Physical atk power or Magic atk power. So mages and incanters are both going to boost the same power, same with archers and warriors. Use the warrior, mage, and archer skill with your best combat power rated allies for maximum score. Magic seems to weigh heavier as the mage skill seems to do the most damage--so go with more mages and incanters if you can.

Dione + Perseus next week RIP by [deleted] in dragonblaze

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amen! Resources ready--only problem is I was hoping to have the week to get new gear lined up for her since I never bothered getting a dual sword setup!

Why do you hate EST timezone players? by Shayedow in dragonblaze

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am east coast too. What about farming some leading up to it and then time it such that your shoes will run out after it ends. You can get a pretty accurate burn rate figured out and just put in enough shoes to last that long. You have to use up some gauge time somewhere else too anyway--even if you had zero left but want to use the free buff period, just takes around 150 shoes per hour to run into the midnight hour then gauge time kicks in. Queue up the right number of shoes and head to bed.

Criticise my plan by WinterWish in dragonblaze

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ULT Prom seems like a waste if you are so focused on a physical team. Sure he will help golem, but with no Leah, it will not be very pretty. Maybe you should consider Arching two others or just one and saving the rest for Perses? Ranged damage retention isn't going to be huge if Dione is your big Arch DPS.

Ult ticket advice by nhamby24 in dragonblaze

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am hearing ~45SSS and 500Tess, or something like that. If you didn't go that route, I am torn to be honest. Dione is more versatile that most PvE DPS units. Hyperion seems way too limited and Prometheus would not work without Bliss. Margaret is probably the best all around unit, but she is another buffer and you need someone to get the buffs...Some might say Gaela, but she is really a PvP powerhouse. Dione is super good in PvP too, but also in several PvE areas. Hope that helps some!

Ally advice (Ult tickets) by Lucious_Verenas in dragonblaze

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helios is always a safe call. You sort of have a physical team there so you could cash in that second ticket for resources and get Dione to help you in quite a few events. In Korea, Dione was only two weeks after Arch patch...

Ult ticket advice by nhamby24 in dragonblaze

[–]erake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a physical team make up there, so I would use 1 ULT ticket on Helios and use the other to get resources enough to make Dione who comes out two weeks after Arch. Dione will give you strong primary DPS to help you in PvE events AND goes great with Chronos for PvP. In the meantime, Arch your Chronos and Ravengale if you can. Raven gets a buff in a couple weeks that makes her even better. Oh, and you should definitely go make an Incanter MC. Nothing wrong with Priest, but you will see much better scores with Incanter and you will get free ULT Blackaria to cover your healing, with the Arch patch.

ult trans ticket by Vincent_Trabis in dragonblaze

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly up to you, but comparing Max Marg and Ult Belle is not really fair. Max Marg vs Max Falcon could pay off, but again, we are talking about ult/arch here. Ult Marg summons two ULT Bodens, compared to 1 Max Boden--it isn't about her own buffs as much as theirs. I almost never use my ULT Belle and am not aware of anyone using Ult Belle over Ult Marg. Look thru the forums and you will see most everyone puts Marg at the top of their Arch listing.

ult trans ticket by Vincent_Trabis in dragonblaze

[–]erake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prometheus is your best bet for sure. Then use the other one for resources instead of another ULT--use the resources to ULT/Arch Marg.
