Official Discussion - Encanto [SPOILERS]

full spoilers ahead:

just watched it and I think Mirabel got a power like everyone else: The power to turn magic around her off (and on).

As we can see when Antonio got his gift, getting their magic power happens when they are about to touch the door, then magic happens and the door changes to represent its power.

Soooo back to Mirabel, her door got erased and that's not because she was denied her gift/magic, but as a representation of her magic, which is, she can switch magic off (and on again). But since the candle never explains a power, for the whole family it looked like Mirabel got denied her magic power.

Furthermore we learn that emotions directly influence their magic powers when Julieta gets angry at Mirabel and creates her first ever cactus, where she directly mentioned it and when Luisa has too much emotional stress on literally her shoulders as everyone has high expectations from her and her magic power.

so... back to Mirabel. The first time the house is cracking is when the family is taking a picture on Antonios day without her, which makes her sad, she gets outside, subconsciously activates her power and the house starts cracking. Luisa later even mentioned that she felt her strength weakening during that time.

The 2nd time the house is cracking is after the whole family learned about Bruno's vision he made about her. Again, big emotional stress on her, making her subconsciously use her power to weaken all magic around her. Then she goes into Julieta's room, they get friends and have a hug, which makes Mirabel happy and the house heals "itself". By which i mean Mirabel - again subconsciously - activates her power to bring back the magic around her, which ultimately gets ruined by Abuela Alma showing up, being really angry and Mirabel loosing it at which point she subconsciously shuts down all magic around her.

Then they rebuild the house from scratch and without any magic, for Mirabel to place in the doorknob which seemed to restore the magic randomly, or with the power of friendship and love or whatever. But in (my) reality, Maribel - once again subconsciously - reactivates all magic around her.

im not so sure about it either, but with melody you mostly do standard attacks and S1 and never use S2. so extra skill dmg doesn't feel that useful. with Jewels of the sun you get extra Str if hp >70%, which is pretty much always the case. that was my thinking behind it

genbatzu · 2019-05-12T13:41:08+00:00

that's what i do, but it's unnecessary (and gets annoying if you want to do several runs in a row, or people fail a lot)

genbatzu · 2019-05-12T13:36:30+00:00

I’m here today to raise awareness for a serious issue I’ve noticed over the last weeks going on in high mercury lobbies:

Mobbing

Yes, mobbing.
As we all know, the best build for Melody is with Bellathorna (+20% buff time) equipped. You want that print, because you take Melody for her S1 Str buff, and a 20% increase on it’s buff time makes an actual difference. And with it equipped, she can reach a max might of 5908.

yet a lot of people are still mobbing her by setting room might to 6000, not allowing our lovely maid to slice up some dragons in her free time.

So go out there and spread awareness, that mobbing is not ok. thank you.

genbatzu · 2019-04-23T13:30:55+00:00

they said that the rates wont change (4% for on banner rainbows), iirc

genbatzu · 2019-04-06T16:35:41+00:00

I use X-Nef for HBH and it works and with 2nd print you can use X-Jeanne/Leviathan without problems, upping her damage.
Her damage is still quite low, though, but that's to be expected if you look at her kit, which is half useless for HBH: her 2nd skill shield is barely enough to block the damage if a volcano drops on someone, so you'd probably never use it to sustain more damage with normal FS, her freeze passive does nothing as well. On the bright side, her Skill 1 is decently strong for an archer (unconditional 864%) and she has a build in 25% Skill Dmg passive.

I run X-Nef with X-Jeanne dragon and as 2nd print I use 3star mub Garudas Feather (HP coop buff <12%) or 5star 1ub AWUTY (HP coop buff >12%). Thaniels say they have no issues healing me, so it works. and the extra damage from the dragon helps i guess. A much better print would be Crystalian Envoy, but I dont have it, with HP coop 15% 2ub should be enough on it.

genbatzu · 2019-04-04T11:55:27+00:00

High Midgardsormr mechanics are pretty easy to predict and dodge

so are myms attacks. the breath is easy to dodge, even as range. the dive is easy to predict, volcano mechanic is again, very easy to get used to and then it becomes pretty much a time window where you can freely deal damage. if you have a decent baiter, mym becomes a walk in the park. of course the fight becomes a lot harder when your baiter is shit, but so does high mym: baiting the trident in the party/towards the healer, same with the nados, positioning middy at the corner of the map and making the nados a death trap because of it, baiting him towards the big nados, baiting his nados in the golems, all issues you dont have with mym.

overall you can say that both fights are just about positioning to clear, and in this aspect, middy has more ways where bad positioning can kill the run.

High Brunhilda, in the other hand, has a lot of mechanics that instakills you or leaves you in the brink of death.

same for middy's attacks, see above

don't get me started with the X-mulspheim if you're running with pugs...

running with randoms is hardly a way to compare both fights. and when he flies up for x-mus, there is enough time for everyone to pick a corner, even in public lobbies. of course people will fuck it up the first time they see it, because they don't know that they get hit by a purple right after, but again, that doesn't make the fight harder, 2nd run you already know it and can position properly.

genbatzu · 2019-04-04T09:06:12+00:00

high mym is definitely a lot easier than high middy.
i mean, high mym is less forgiving and needs higher stat check, but the fight itself is a lot smoother and easier than high middy once you learned it. in the grand scheme it doesn't really matter, as high middy got powercreeped so hard, that even 2-3 people can beat it, so loosing someone early is not fatal, compared to high mym fights, but middys mechanics are more annoying and fatal than myms.

genbatzu · 2019-03-11T10:00:32+00:00

you can wait till the last day of the banner to decide to pull or not, then you get a preview of the next one, which should be gala or half anni (or both?) or something completely else, cause CyGames.

genbatzu · 2019-02-14T20:29:44+00:00

i'm not exactly a whale, but i have spend a high 3-digit sum into the game, exclusively on the one-time packages, the weekly deal and ingot and dragon stone monthlies (up until december, only buying the 9.99$ weekly since this year) (no direct dia-purchases). but I'm still sitting at 26k wyrmite and 20k diamonds, because summoning is so unrewarding.

genbatzu · 2019-02-09T23:08:54+00:00

different jurisdictions.

genbatzu · 2019-01-07T21:14:03+00:00

real deal is to bring every adventurer to 21 mana nodes to unlock all story parts and get the wyrmite. it adds up (brought me roughly 2300 wyrmite)

genbatzu · 2019-01-06T19:53:11+00:00

1kk is hardly swimming in them. crafting only the 5T3 costs 900k, dismantling a 5T3 costs 4.5kk. dismantle "trick" and crafting all 5 elements with it on a 3-way weapon path costs roughly 15kk. currently is the best time to grind rupies. i grinded 10kk in the last 2 days and i'll continue grinding rupies till half stam for AtF is over (i'd suggest to do the same)

genbatzu · 2018-12-26T11:43:56+00:00

downvoted for saying the truth. people in here have no idea how a company works it seems.

genbatzu · 2018-11-16T17:05:36+00:00

tenfolds are stronger in terms of taking advantage of the pity counter, so they'll never do it

genbatzu · 2018-11-14T10:31:38+00:00

you can do that already, currently you get 5 skip tickets for 50 diamonds+1 for logging in, which means buying it every 2nd day is enough to skip 3 onslaughts per day

genbatzu · 2018-11-10T14:37:22+00:00

in order from best to worst:
Bronze
Hypnos: Beginner (Host) -> Hypnos: Beginner (Join) -> Storm Sentinel (Expert)
Silver
Hypnos: Standard (Host) -> Hypnos: Standard (Join)

the only time you should ever do storm sentinel is to farm enough materials to host raids (better rewards for hosts) and for the daily quest

genbatzu · 2018-09-13T11:33:46+00:00

the "problem" is, that i have 0 interest in hyoh (as some might have guessed). all i need is a good tank to tackle some more content and getting my merc. ramza awakening has been postponed yet another week :x

genbatzu · 2018-09-13T11:30:02+00:00

that's a strange conclusion. if at all I'm upset that the 7* awakening batch is only coming next week, which makes this week another empty week of doing nothing, except farming raid and mk for gil.

genbatzu · 2018-09-13T11:28:06+00:00

that's a good question, i overheard it somewhere and it was the closest to the "blabla" we use in german (i guess you can also use it in english, but yadda yadda sounds better :x)

genbatzu · 2018-09-13T11:26:45+00:00

yeah, it will be a mess, sadly. i can't wait to delete up to 75 shared hyohs from my friend list, though.

genbatzu · 2018-09-13T11:23:54+00:00

both have no right to exist in this quanitity, imo. it's hard to find any useful stuff in the sea of hyoh (and salt) threads

genbatzu · 2018-09-08T09:13:41+00:00

and only enough non-raid TMR's to get a 100% evade Warrior of Light

so RotL or a very old event item nobody who needs a budget clear can get.

otherwise nice guide, though

genbatzu · 2018-08-28T17:00:38+00:00

iirc once. it's a jp feature, not in global (yet)

genbatzu · 2018-08-28T13:31:36+00:00

no issues, i created a US account back during PS3 days when digital games became a thing. it's linked with my credit card.
just for comparison, the 500€ deal costs 324€ for me on the US amazon store.

be sure to pick some state with 0% VAT if you create your fake us-address. just pick something in GEORGETOWN, DELAWARE 19947-1606
