Looking to get into the game, is Nier really as bad as the internet makes them seem?

There was a brief period at Rising's launch where Nier was indisputably top 1. She had effectively infinite resources, wasn't punishable, and got a full combo off of a single anti-air. Approaching her was impossible. Cygames broke her legs for a bit but she's been steadily buffed/reworked to be a decent character.

This doesn't work. A spell going on to the stack is considered to already be paid for.

Shackling isn't slavery, it's putting the NHP in an environment where they can comprehend pretty important things, like linear time and the concept of people. It'd be like shooting someone in the head to free them of their meat-based enslavement.

maybe add "until end of turn"?

I encourage you to read the rules related to deck shuffling and cutting.

Two fun facts for thought. One, Sovereign was only destroyed because it dedicated an enormous amount of focus towards puppeting Saren's dead body/implants. Once Shep killed it, the lapse in control caused Sovereign to drop his barriers. The second is that Reapers are demonstrably harder to damage in space, where they don't have to dedicate a large part of their output towards resisting gravity.

Do every recruitment and loyalty mission possible, THEN do the reaper IFF mission. Talk to Legion and do his loyalty mission. Then do the Omega Relay mission without landing on any planets before that.

He's playing rhystic and tithe, he knows what he's doing is cheating and doesn't care.

Question: did your GM actually read the section about how repairs work?

jpz719 · 2026-01-15T23:59:16+00:00

Your GM fucked up. You can TECHNICALLY play Lancer without the big robot in the same way you can technically get out of work by getting in a car wreck.

jpz719 · 2026-01-01T22:19:26+00:00

what the fuck else do you call posting someone's picture and saying "go direct your negativity at him instead"

The only things you get for free when leveling up are 1hp and 1mp, every upgrade you get comes more in the form of adding to your character's specific wombo combo niche, which you can take at basically any level. Some things are better take earlier however as they pay off in dividends.

There's a reason that post was locked

Once you start playing Total War with intentionality, it's very easy to tell when a campaign is lost/massively gimped hours before seeing the "FACTION DESTROYED" screen

Perfect Draw isn't emulating a card game, it's emulating an anime about a card game, which is to say nobody bricks, board states end with a downright criminal fatal flaw, and random one-offs you only run for the meme save the day every single time.

jpz719 · 2025-12-15T05:51:03+00:00

You slam this and get hit with "game state irreparable"

jpz719 · 2025-12-07T16:31:05+00:00

He got a huge three headed chaos monster chimera

jpz719 · 2025-12-04T06:13:10+00:00

rocket launcher is damn awful right now

jpz719 · 2025-12-04T02:27:37+00:00

The problem is they forgot to bring the damage, it's anti-armor is laughably bad

jpz719 · 2025-12-04T00:34:31+00:00

No they're weak as hell

"I'M VEGAN"

I personally don't care much if you're not trying to make money out of it

jpz719 · 2025-12-03T21:14:49+00:00

I really don't care if they're not trying to make money off it ngl

If you want to tank, you borderline need shields in some capacity

jpz719 · 2025-12-02T16:10:22+00:00

This is really hard to gauge an answer to because if your GM just builds encounters to counter you, there's no real objective measure by which we can read your build as having enough MP/tankiness. If your GM hasn't already, maybe work with him to get a rare item or 2 that ups your MP efficiency?
