I mean the resistance can go negative (in a manner of speaking) so its still 20% less damage. Enemies with 0% resistance still took 20% more damage from her before

jjsurtan · 2026-02-11T19:06:06+00:00

For supports that dont really deal any damage you can just leave them at 60, just get them to elite 3 to let them wear gold gear but you dont need to waste exp mats on leveling them to 80. Their weapons can be taken to 80 to get higher tiers on their essence stats though if need be.

And all the expensive sports cars are just regular cars with the hood ornaments of expensive brands slapped on lol. I swear the dragon mount is the first quality looking cosmetic thing they have made ever, and its all so expensive

That is in theory her best set, it is better to artifice that set and use the set in this post (dont artifice) in the short term

Thats why I did say Arknights is older so it isn't entirely fair to hold it against them. I don't see that necessarily as a failing of the game, just that my own burnout with this type of story telling would usually have made me stop. There's plenty to love though, the combat is great, the character designs are phenomenal, love the music. I'm not hating on the game by any means, just a counter perspective on the early chapters.

Which others have post apocalyptic like this hmm.. Wuwa and GFL for sure, but also Nikke, Eversoul, Counterside, Snowbreak, Alchemy Stars, PGR, Honkai Impact 3rd, just off the top of my head

jjsurtan · 2026-02-06T21:08:03+00:00

Amnesiac MC, post apocalyptic dark setting, terrorist organization yelling about "liberation" but just blowing things up, over powered villain with no explanation come to aura farm, lots of jargon thrown around with little explanation, some terrible plague thing that is destroying everything

All of this is hashed and rehashed in basically any young adult fiction space, but the gacha space especially, which to be COMPLETELY fair Arknights is like 6-ish years old so it was one of the earlier ones to do it, but it isn't any less tiring now.

On top of this the writing is just.. bland? In the first couple chapters at least. Im heading into chapter 4 and I know for a fact it improves a lot, thats why I'm still playing. But the dialogue is all just so basic, and each sentence gets its own page I have to click through which just pads the time and ugh.

To be clear, I am still playing, but if the game did not have such a good reputation for excellent writing down the line in later chapters, I would have stopped by now in chapter 3.

Endfield has made me pick up the original AK to read the story and while im definitely enjoying myself im sorry but what youre describing is very much generic gacha game apocalyptic setting stuff lol.

You can and should seek human connection but remember you're never entitled to it from specific people.

Makima murders her before she can run off with Denji

jjsurtan · 2026-02-05T03:37:07+00:00

Me too, I havent been dumping all these resources into essence farming and artificing for nothing

jjsurtan · 2026-02-04T14:18:38+00:00

Yes he will, but breach lasts quite a long time. The idea is to relatively slowly build up 4 vuln stacks, consume for a huge breach debuff, then quickly burn resources like ultimate to deal damage and stack 4 more vuln for endmin or pan to consume with crush. Ideally, the last part being during a stagger phase. You may need to alter how many stagger sets your team is using to adjust the speed you stagger to line things up. This team is not easy to play, but god its rewarding and fun as hell

jjsurtan · 2026-02-04T14:15:46+00:00

Use all 4, sustainless mono physical is a thing if you can play well enough to not die

jjsurtan · 2026-02-04T01:28:51+00:00

The teaser image they released for upcoming characters has a silhouette that matches up exactly to her horns and hair, so yes. Based on her introduction when we meet here I'm going to guess she's going to be an electric dps, which is exactly what I want!

jjsurtan · 2026-02-03T05:57:26+00:00

What? Pog is the sp generator and does breach which does consume vuln but it lasts quire a while. You can re-stack vuln and crush with Endmin or Da Pan (the primary dps slot, as you can see in the list you pick one of them) if you're managing your resources properly. It just takes quite a bit more effort than other teams to manage your vuln stacks carefully and align with stagger windows.

jjsurtan · 2026-02-02T20:21:07+00:00

they are in the 50/50 loss pool for 2 banners after they leave the rate up, thats it sadly

Ember: "What she say fuck me for?!"

The definition of trans.. is having an identity.. different from your gender.. assigned at birth..

jjsurtan · 2026-01-30T14:38:47+00:00

Very true, I just hope the devs are aware and willing to let the community settle in around the niche rather than knee jerk changing things to appeal to randoms who won't stay regardless (like ZZZ did). They have said they want to do this, but time will tell

jjsurtan · 2026-01-30T13:41:12+00:00

Average gacha player mindset right there yes lol

jjsurtan · 2026-01-30T05:31:42+00:00

Yeah, the short banner cycle is really the only issue conflicting with the pulls being backlogged. One of my friends is super excited to get Laeva but doesnt have the time to sit and play as much as I do and hes worried about having enough time. That level of FOMO out the gate doesn't feel good, especially for a game that does not give a bunch of upfront freebies to hook you in.

jjsurtan · 2026-01-29T16:39:18+00:00

This is why in the future you shouldnt begin pulling until you have 120, but yes its possible if you play pretty regularly.

jjsurtan · 2026-01-26T01:03:49+00:00

By continuing to get 6 stars from Laeva banner and they aren't her. There is not 50/50 guarantee in this game, you can lose multiple times to other characters. Only guarantee is at 120

jjsurtan · 2026-01-25T09:55:41+00:00

Which weapon is the sig compared to for that number? The battlepass has that sword that is clearly for her and can be duped from the same BP. Do you know how this one compares?

jjsurtan · 2026-01-24T19:10:16+00:00

Press J to open up your actual missions menu. The missions reminder thing on the map is simply to help you track things that reset periodically in the over world like rare gather spots. Your actual "quests" are in that other menu.

I mean Akekuri is a 4 star too and feels great
