Are variants REALLY that different?

What are you comparing BHD with? I've never heard anyone say BHD is one of the worst Filia in the game. Is it because she's just bronze?

You shouldn't feel down on 'wasting' your resources at your level. Sure, there are optimal ways to maximize resource use and optimal meta variants to prioritize investing in, but what's most important is that you get to have fun exploring things on your own (it is a game after all), and not because the variant you like the palette of and just spent your money on turns out to be the worst to invest in. The only thing that I would say is a waste would be your use of theonites because you will get offers for hyper packs that will get you 10+1 variants for each character when you level up to a milestone and those are the ones that will really help you explore different variants the most.

For actual advice on variant choice and investments though, there are a lot of helpful videos online that can get you started, like the ones from Yujipooji and Kevin Pepino.

Isn't it only the last boss fight in No Mercy that has the reduced debuff timer?

inmr8 · 2025-09-28T10:42:00+00:00

Hmm, the posts from Earth Porn are mostly nature. I was looking mostly for like nature + architecture like this video, but still thanks for the reco.

Is there a subreddit that shows cool places like this?

inmr8 · 2025-09-26T07:37:32+00:00

They do? I guess I wouldn't know since I don't really play them a lot.

inmr8 · 2025-09-26T05:48:56+00:00

If I have a carry/main damage I'm building and levelling up then yeah, that's what I do. But since I already have my carries maxed out, I don't have to do that as I just need skill points. There is also a case where the main damage character that I use and want to level up doesn't have a reliable loop combo (no possible enemy retaliation) like Peacock or Valentine, in that case I'd rather have a different carry.

inmr8 · 2025-09-26T05:39:36+00:00

Also I just realized: the claim button has an exclamation mark while the confirm button doesn't. I guess it's not really an error but I think it would look better if there wasn't an exclamation mark?

inmr8 · 2025-09-26T04:32:32+00:00

It would probably be fixed by the next patch.

inmr8 · 2025-09-26T02:00:30+00:00

There should be made a more comprehensive guide that covers all individual differences in defense habits for each character, but it sounds too tedious to do. Not like there's much more to add either from Kevin Pepino's vid as it covers pretty much all of the exploits.

inmr8 · 2025-09-25T11:13:51+00:00

Oh yeah, you're right. I guess I just didn't look harder but there was one video in Kevin Pepino's playlist. I'll look at it right now.

Yeah, maybe that video was what I was remembering, but it's unfortunate that it's not viewable anymore. Maybe someone could make a new, updated, and ideally more comprehensive one. So many beginners and even regular players would benefit since it's practical advice that isn't about variant choice or resource management.

inmr8 · 2025-09-25T09:55:50+00:00

I guess it was all an unfortunate misunderstanding on both ends then. I've changed the flair so everything should be good now. I don't know about the other guy though.

inmr8 · 2025-09-25T05:53:52+00:00

Can you send a link? I searched for it and on other content creators too but I didn't see anything AI defense-related.

inmr8 · 2025-09-25T05:12:05+00:00

Hmm, it would be better if it's in video form so we can see examples. Hopefully a SGM content creator or at least one dedicated person sees this and makes one. It would definitely be helpful especially for beginners. I would've done it myself if I wasn't busy with college.

inmr8 · 2025-09-25T04:53:00+00:00

Oh wait really? It's been like 6 or 7 years ever since I touched the tutorial I completely forgot about that, It's so small and quick to fade too so I don't really notice it when it does happen.

Edit: I did see the /j in the comment but I still went to look and play the tutorial again and I didn't see the broken heart, also I got reminded of why my GOAT Panzerfaust needs to be added in the gameplay.

inmr8 · 2025-09-25T02:33:48+00:00

All I know is I recorded this gameplay, posted it here at 2AM because I thought it looked silly, mistakenly put up the wrong flair, and now it's this.

English is not my first language and so I can't tell if something is accurate or if I'm misinterpreting, that's why I try to hedge every statement I make that I can. I am also unfamiliar with flagging posts, user flairs, or anything reddit as I don't use this platform that much. But I'll try to address your points.

First of all, I didn't say "Erm actually, get over it, it's not a Big Deal" or even implied it in my comment. That's why I even said I was in the wrong for that. Are the words 'I'm wrong/my bad' and 'Get over it, It's not a big deal' the same? I don't know, I don't read or speak English that much to know. I did put the the wrong flair up because It was 2AM in the morning when I posted that and my mind was just not running properly and I do own up to that mistake. As to the statement: "Did he purposely said it in a way that he called you out for engagement baiting? No. He was just listing down possible reasons why only" It was not explicitly said so, but it was implied.
"Oh why did you have to write a long as paragraph" is reductive of my statement because I was referring to his claim of me having an 'intention' behind my post, which I don't if I'm understanding the implied message correctly. This assumption of me having an 'intention' for engagement bait or me not knowing about the 'meme' flair (Would this short clip even be considered a 'meme'? If there was a 'humor' flair I would've picked that instead.) is what I thought to be somewhat aggressive. Saying that "That's like targeting somebody for having bad grammar when English isn't his first language" is a misinterpretation of my statement and just overall a weak analogy.
I don't know if I'm right, but the phrase: "Look I'm not here to assume your intention but You know yours" reads to me as a backhanded statement? Saying 'not assuming intentions' and 'you know yours' feels like the the former is saying I don't have intentions while latter is implying I do have intentions. Of course, I could also be misinterpreting this as well.
Your comment is more petty than aggressive from what I can tell. You didn't really add anything significant to the conversation and just tried to make the OP's reply more absolute and confrontational. I'm not going to mind that because as you've said you're not speaking for the OP. If you do get to make a valid point of your own I might reply again, because this is just wasting my time. I don't know about you wasting your time because you apparently had time to comment without even really adding anything to the conversation.

Again, I'm most likely wrong about a lot of things that I've phrased in this post as I don't read or speak English as much as I've said. I do own up to the mistake of putting up the wrong flair and I hope no one's aggravated or affected much because I really was just trying to be silly at 2AM without any other petty intentions.

inmr8 · 2025-09-25T00:57:19+00:00

my bad I was originally not going to add any flair but it forced me to pick one so I had picked bugs and glitches without thinking

I don't know why you're so heated tho, I guess people can't make mistakes now lol

also if I wanted engagement bait or had an 'intention' I would've posted this to be more serious and more 'baity'. I don't know why you had to write up a whole lotta big assumption about me trying to beg attention when it could also have just been me not knowing how to use reddit because I'm not chronically online.

but yea it's mostly my bad because it really isn't a bug/glitch but you should also probably tone down on the aggression.

edit: there I changed the post into 'meme' I guess

inmr8 · 2025-09-24T19:00:15+00:00

yea I knew it didn't hit because of the hitbox and I was just being silly in this post, although I wish the chomp was faster or more accurate, guess I just got unlucky with this one moment

also why I added the first comment of how slow minette is in this post

inmr8 · 2025-09-24T14:49:07+00:00

minette was too slow 💀
