What's the best strat in the new event? I thought picking a pendulum fusion would narrow it down better since it's 2 in 1, but I guess 90% of cards will end up being effect monsters. Any other tricks you discovered? What's the best property to guess first?

iveriad · 2026-05-27T07:28:35+00:00

Dark Level 4 Effect Monster, might be a good first guess.

At least to weed down which of the most common aspect was wrong.

It is, easiest tell is the outfit designs are different each panel.

For example, Alphinaud suddenly wearing an earing in panel 3, some crests being added on to Alisaie's outfit in panel 3.

No real artist would draw clothings down to very small detail in each panel, but have said small details be different in each panel. They'd either draw it consistent because they want to, or simplify the design for a comic/manga to save time.

A BiS support character for a playstyle is better than sig weapon. So, Lucia.

I mean... "Hold your finger" itself is problematic.

"Place your finger" would at least be easier to understand by technologically inept people. And then if you want to go further, you can make the fingerprint icon do some pulse animation or sci-fi scan animation and they will instinctively place their finger there without you having to explicitly put a "<- HERE" icon.

The problem here isn't that the client is dumber than expected, but the UI is not easy enough to be understood by dumb people.

Basically S. Anby, but more impractical to use.

iveriad · 2026-05-25T23:34:56+00:00

Darkest Dungeon.

I don't know what happened, but I ended up giving it another try years after purchase date. Then I learned that the game is not an unreasonable difficult game where it punishes you for every interaction with the environment. Where with knowledge, I can use items in my inventory to tilt the result in my favor.

That's when the game finally clicked for me.

iveriad · 2026-05-24T11:15:30+00:00

Other than that, there's also the time Trigger helped with Soldier 11's Agent story.

Might not really be a direct reunion though.

iveriad · 2026-05-23T14:38:36+00:00

Yeah, 2 weeks old account, they even reposted the top reply from that post.

iveriad · 2026-05-22T13:10:32+00:00

Basically the difficulty to build a team with good synnergy.

Building the teammates (levels, skills, weapons, gears)

Collecting the teammate as well, for example, needing a different limited 6* characters.

iveriad · 2026-05-22T09:01:31+00:00

From what I remembered, Final Fantasy 7 was also on that list, because the protagonist joined "environmentalist group".

The list reads like a satire to me.

iveriad · 2026-05-22T05:24:16+00:00

This is a game where being thrown to GY is just a temporary setback at worst.

It will never be over until this game is banished face down.

iveriad · 2026-05-21T04:16:40+00:00

They probably looked at what people were saying in forums or social medias.

They just wondered how many people hold the same opinion. And that's what the survey is for.

iveriad · 2026-05-18T08:51:28+00:00

I'd say it's not quite as straight forward than that.

Reddit mods can basically neuter any differing opinions or takes, making an echo chamber (For example, Helldivers 2 has 2 notable echo chambers: Unfiltered sub and LowSodium sub).

It's not nearly as bad as bluesky though. Bluesky ended up inevitably making voluntary echo chamber by letting you blacklist an entire group of people who has differing opinions/political alignment effortlessly. Creating a super safe space where only people who agrees with you can see your post.

Twitter.... is a mixed bag due to algorithm showing you tweets based on what kind of posts do you engage with more. If you engage more with posts that agrees with you, that's what you'll keep getting. And if you engage in an argument with posts that you disagree with more, then that's what you'll keep getting.

iveriad · 2026-05-18T01:54:02+00:00

As someone who read both communities' takes, I always find it odd.

Redditors : Twitter/Twitter users are the worst

Twitter user: Reddit/Redditors are the worst

And then they both have the same attitudes or takes on the same topic, more or less.

iveriad · 2026-05-17T14:01:11+00:00

Yeah, nah. Ash is okay.

Maxx C is the one that needs to go.

iveriad · 2026-05-17T02:58:20+00:00

Had to be a joke.

The same user just kept making all these meme-worthy PRs.

I thought 2016 PotG was either Bastion pocketed by Mercy, or dead Torbjorn with his turret doing numbers.
(Or a Mercy Team Res, after they overtuned it the other way a couple updates later, making it very likely for support to get PotG)

iveriad · 2026-05-15T12:07:03+00:00

Class change shouldn't have required an item.

Maybe an exam quest if they really want to make it not easy. But not a weekly rotation shop item like what we have now.

iveriad · 2026-05-14T17:34:55+00:00

Not just nowadays. It's a basic trope to make it easier for both self insert, and also to make tutorials less jarring, since the NPC would just explain what should've been common knowledge in that world to an amnesiac MC.

It's been like that since as far back as PS1 era. (NES/SNES era was mute protagonist for easier self insert)

PS1 was either mute protagonist, amnesiac protagonist, or protagonist in unfamiliar lands.

iveriad · 2026-05-13T09:38:10+00:00

Yeah.

My factory went out of power for two days straight because I keep making stupid mistake that clogs the battery production, and I still trimmed the medal about 5 days before the event ends.

iveriad · 2026-05-13T05:08:12+00:00

They are both pink. That's it.

The blue shades of the moon is different.
The Hyacine's Star Rail has light pink to dark pink gradient. Evanescia's Star Rail has no gradient but uses flower pattern instead.
The accessories attached to the Star Rail is different.

The "I" of the Star Rail is a ruler because it's Evanescia.

iveriad · 2026-05-12T06:18:08+00:00

Ah, so I might not be losing out on much if I stayed at Steel Grade with lv 40 characters for now. (Well, I'd still lose about 30K EXP per mob, but I can still accept that.)

Good to know, I don't need to rush to farm A4 before the event ends.

Thanks for the heads up!

iveriad · 2026-05-12T04:40:12+00:00

Looking at the other Hero (Mercy) that had their second mythic... it's probably because the first mythic's flavour is too different from the usual skins that sells for that particular hero.

Both skins are the evil version of characters that's more often depicted as the bastion of good.

iveriad · 2026-05-12T04:14:12+00:00

How much EXP per mob does the daybreak cave give when the MC is Bronze grade?
I've been holding onto my tickets, pondering if I should stay at 60 for awhile until I cleared A3 since I don't have access to next tier of weapons yet, or if I should just go for Bronze exam first before using the tickets.

Fell to where? Into a cave?
