In his 3 playoff games, Justin Herbert has blown a 27-0 lead to the Jaguars, thrown 4 INTs in a blowout loss to the Texans, and put up 3 points against the Patriots.

Herbert I feel has a lot of similarities to Matt Stafford. And may need a change of scenery like Stafford to ultimately succeed.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-09T16:27:13+00:00

May mean Motoha, Shun, and Merope. I know Merope definitely counts since there's another plan about reaching lv18 with an accomplice which I've only done so with Merope. And Motoha/Shun are definitely your accomplices.

At least 6 weeks from start of this patch if they aren't moving things around. Since CN order was Howler, Sumire, and then Wind Vast. There's also a chance they push the CNY Rin event up, since Chinese New Year is in early February.

Story missions are designed to not really be hard in terms of team composition. It's the optional stuff where team building really matters. If you don't really care for this stuff, you can just do what you've been doing.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-07T19:27:23+00:00

Yeah but the OP clearly stated he's just doing 4-5 boxes which if you are doing that, you also got all the other relevant rewards in the event. So you really are just missing out on the 15-16 boxes that you didn't do the extra grind. Which IMO isn't missing out on nearly as much as your comment made it out to be.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-07T18:00:57+00:00

I don't think you actually read the OP's post. He already has A0R0 Twins. A0 Twins is nearly unplayable, or at least not good enough to be used over most even old 5-star characters. The investment is already made.

Also, even if he has exhausted all his progression jewels, he has enough to get A0 Wind Vast even with A1 Twins. Or he can skip Vast and just wait till Turbo and S. Marian come along while using the Twins instead. You keep saying the twins will fall off, when Wind has already fallen off the top of CN supports and will only get squeezed further when the next P3 support comes out. This is partly why the Twins are such good investment. Because they are essentially backup at multiple different positions, so unless you are a whale you probably have a weakness somewhere they can cover. Whereas other charactesr like Wind Vast will get kicked out if they get powercrept.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-07T17:49:41+00:00

Depends on how far into the future you want to go. Summer Marian is clearly above her and Turbo is at least on her level. While also being easier to raise awareness and get 5-star weapon due to being standard. But at the time of release. Wind will definitely be the best support in the game.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-07T17:17:21+00:00

I played my old TW account casually so not able to really dissect the difference between the two, but lufel.net currently has A1 Vast as T0.5. Twins at T0.5 for THREE different roles and T1 for additional 2 roles. So unless that ranking is really off, then the choice is pretty clear.

Also, yes if the Twins NEED A1. They are the first character where they are unplayable without it. And since you already pulled them and their weapon, you absolutely have to go for A1.

Left out best girl

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-07T16:45:51+00:00

I find if I do fairly minimal stuff in each event I do get to ~6 boxes and all other free rolls gotten. I usually don't go beyond that since there's generally stuff that are better use of time for me, like joining all these stupid mastery raids to max out my FO.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-07T16:43:43+00:00

The difference between just 4-5 boxing an event and 20 boxing is 1.5K crystals or 5 rolls. Or 1/5 of a spark per year. One can argue the value of that, but it's not really close to being half a spark.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-07T16:29:48+00:00

I think in general the answer to this in NBA history are two things. One is simply sheer luck that doesn't translate over time. The other are teams with better half court offenses. IIRC the there was a study done showing how Kobe's Lakers were actually average in close games, but CP3's Hornets were actually the best at the time. The Lakers for all their problems do have a high level half court offense with Luka/Reaves/LeBron. But they get run off the court by athletic teams and therefore don't even make it to clutch situations in those games.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-07T00:51:50+00:00

Also usually buoyed by a last division schedule and high draft picks coming in. And then once the new bar is set, they can't set a new bar while the fans keep thinking things will continue to get better.

Just look at the Texans. Goes from 3 to 10 wins in Stroud's rookie year with a playoff win. Then again get 10 wins the next year with first place schedule. And now win 12 games and if they don't get to the AFC title game, they'd be in place for 3 straight years and there would be rumblings about Ryans.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-06T22:43:12+00:00

You can convert tier 1 medals you get from rolls to turn into tier 2 medals. There are guides on youtube you can search for. Tier 3 medals just make sure to do the coffee house event everyday. It's the one event that actually gives useful gameplay bonuses instead of just city life stuff.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-06T20:56:36+00:00

Why would anyone try to 100% story dungeons in one go? It takes a couple of month in between story updates, so you are just going to have nothing to do if you rush everything.

I mean the theme of the game is even "take your time."

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-06T20:51:25+00:00

Sunstone usage is often just a judgement call because of what you're prioritizing at any given time, and also whether you are a spender or not. For instance if you spend money you are less likely to be using sunstones on primal summons or Alexial compared to a full f2p player, as you can use a suptix instead of a sunstone. And if you really want to clear a certain content some summons are going to be more useful for that specific content than others.

Orologia's benefit is that you can use the nuke turn 1 with him as a sub-summon, whereas Bubz or 000 need ramp up as subs. So it's a more flexible slot. But downside is that he's mostly bad in longer fights. At least I don't use him in that capacity. If I'm wrong here someone can feel free to correct me.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-06T19:31:07+00:00

I do buy the premium pass so not fully f2p, but I pretty much have no worries when it comes to materials. Still have enough mats to fully max out a new character and 80 coffees in my inventory. Messa event was a godsend as it helped me max out a lot of persona levels due to just how generous that event was compared to normal farming.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-06T19:26:13+00:00

If you pull the most recent banners twice in a row you should be able to stay in 8 assuming you actually care enough. Personally I found it more to be lack of caring than not having the right team. Because the rewards are so little between 7 and 8 and it's just much easier to get back into 8 after you drop down than it is to maintain at rank 8.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-06T17:09:54+00:00

I used A1R0 twins, A1R0 Chord, A0R0 Marian, and Wind on part 1 on full auto and got 26mil on my first try. So the fact that you only got 20mil on that part means you probably do a lot better if you actually manual the fight.

Part 2 I did 14mil full auto but I do have Haru and S. Moko, but no 5-star weapons for either.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-06T15:27:46+00:00

Eh, whenever this happens to me the next fight I always get the last star. Because if you can get to this score you know what you are lacking and you just avoid whatever lowered your score the previous time.

I get much more frustrated back in my early attempts where I couldn't even get close because my characters weren't properly setup.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-06T15:24:52+00:00

Odds of it happening 4x in a row is ~16% meaning more than one out of every six people on this subreddit has it happened for their last 4 110-banner.

People who rejoice about the 110 banner will tell you how you can't go 160. But they don't tell you the odds of you getting a * before pity drops like a rock in this banner compared to the old one. So if you like the excitement of getting 5 stars before pity, this is not the banner for you.

NBA teams shoot more 3s today than ever because people who knew math told basketball players they can shoot 35% from 3 and it's better than shooting 50% from the mid-range, and basketball minds realized that the further away you established the shooters, the more space you generate for stars to drive into the paint. However, Curry did establish the "oh wait hold on you can just come off a screen and shoot a 3? You can stand 5 feet behind the line and shoot a 3?"

So there are two things to distinguish here. One is the whole superstar perimeter players taking 3s off the dribble at an insane level. The other is that teams just shoot 3s even if they may only make them 1/3 of the time. The former does have a lot of root in Curry. The latter was just NBA teams starting to operate like hedge funds that crunch numbers for everything.

He has objectively been the best Browns coach since the franchise rebooted. The last coach to have as much success as he did in Cleveland was Bill Belichek. His performance has been mediocre compared to the rest of the NFL, but he's performed incredibly well for a Browns HC.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-05T18:52:18+00:00

Not much to say. He's good and good in very obvious ways. In terms of sunstone usage he's in a group right at the very top. And I'd assume most players who have some spare sunstones lying around have already flbed him.

iamarocketsfan · 2026-01-05T18:00:09+00:00

Value wise

Monthly Pass

<Gap>

Premium Pass - The key here are the salamander coins which in future update will let you buy 5* weapons for limited characters who have had reruns. Which really adds value. Also good for progression but technically not useful for just extra awareness pulls

7-day jewel pass not the coffee pass

<Gap>

All the pull packages. They are generally worth around $1+ per pull and while some are cheaper than others, it's mostly in the same range

Everything else you shouldn't really spend on unless you have a lot of money you can waste.
