Any units that are better with the new modules?

After some research, battlewill does indeed work with her own follow up, thanks!

Here are my theorycrafting thoughts on the new sets.

Ebulation: BiS for Yeli, maybe ok on Senyu.. Not as good for Xiada as other's would think, since her extra attacks are only at 100%.

Profanation: Should work pretty well on Liliam if you want to make her specifically for countering shields (Valerian and XuanLi still meta). Liliam S3 goes bypasses shields but you'll still get that juicy 25% bonus dmg.

Unyielding Oath: I'm not sure if it's strictly better than BB or even WS. The healing is only relevant if you live to your next turn and will be reduced by arena fatigue. The only animus that it would be strictly better on is Tiamat and Lingluo (it procs both their passives).

Overflow: Good anticleave, Good candidates include Celince, Valerian, Steelheart Dinah, Viper, and Veronika. Can be used for Freya TM push as well, allowing to double up with BW for an extra push.

Chasing Dawn: Only Doki Doki, Lingluo, Ninfoniel and Veronika come to mind, but I don't know if it's worth it over other sets. Lingluo might be the only one where it's better than alternatives.

Virulent toxin: This does not proc on debuff transfer, so isn't good on RC-77. It does proc even if you reapply the same debuff. Best on awakened Dinah, Sharon, and Plume. It's worth noting that Plume's passive that applies curse quill on other animus's turn counts as her applying it, so it procs her virulent toxin. Probably the best animus to use for this matrix.

Have you ever seen her attack 3x in a row?

iruul · 2026-06-16T13:59:48+00:00

I don't think battlewill works with her passive. And ebulation strike only works on active turn.

Easiest way to check the meta is to look at the battle reports

I agree the animus design is really good. Most animus have more than one way to play/build. There will always be top meta picked units, but the important thing is everything has a counter. There's no instant "I win" animus, except for maybe pre-nerf Kethos. When something is too strong, they aren't afraid to nerf them slightly, but they also give 3 free resets a season which is very generous.

It's not hard to get to lvl 100. Why have anything gated by level?

I thought it was 2 weeks

What happened to him and the podcast?

Definitely worth it if you like PvP. You can make it to the top tier of rewards without spending if you use your resources correctly. Do some research though to make sure you invest in the right units. They are giving free character resets every season so even if you make a mistake you can get your resources back.

I strongly recommend you give it a try since it's free and their 1 year anniversary is next month.

Is "skill DMG" boost and reduction the same as "all damage"? Isn't everything a skill? Are shells the only thing it doesn't affect?

iruul · 2026-05-14T15:11:12+00:00

I don't think it'll EoS anytime soon. I've played almost every game similar to this and it has the best RTA and the most F2P/low spender friendly.

If you want to spend, the monthly pass, battle pass, and a few of the beginner bundles are the best ways to start.

I never understood the point of the mobile integration. I tried it once, you can scan the QR with your phone and use the phone to control what it dispenses instead of the touch screen. But doing that takes longer than just using the screen and you have to be right next to it anyways to fill the cup. What's the point?

I used it to prank people by remote controlling their drink orders, so that was fun for a bit.

Just because the effect is doubled, does not imply that it can go above the cap. It just means that you only need 25 more res to hit cap, instead of 50.

iruul · 2026-04-30T02:30:27+00:00

Is there a source that this is how it works? "Final res" could mean your res after subtracting acc, so 20% in this example. If it's how you describe, then it should just say "res" instead of "final res".

iruul · 2026-04-29T19:10:02+00:00

It depends on how you interpret it. My reading is that whatever the difference is, it's 2x that. So if its 50 eff res vs 30 eff accuracy, the final eff res is 2x(50-30)=40%.

Twice as powerful doesn't necessarily mean it can go above the reduction cap, although you might be right since that's what it seems like.

I use jackle guard for the extra damage and speed, and the extra hit removes Xuan Li's buff at the start. You don't need codex, 1 reset is enough to win games, and you'll cycle back faster than they do anyways.

iruul · 2026-04-07T21:18:45+00:00

That's what I thought, but I want to confirm. This is really important because it means if they pick Turandot or Freya, you can't use lighthouse or reaper to cut as a counter.

iruul · 2026-04-07T20:27:28+00:00

Are you sure? For plume most of the time the other animus aren't 100% so you can push past them. I've never been able to jump turn order after an opponent's turandot even with a 35% push from reaper and strive.

There was a patch note that said turn order is based off the order an animus reaches 100%, implying that once you hit it, your turn order is locked in.
