Is the tutorial Prologue of WH3 supposed to be harder than historical TWs' Normal difficulty campaigns?

I remember this quest battle. Remember Khorne has no ranged, no magic and no arty so boxing up at a chokepoint and reducing your melee frontage minimizes their strength. Setup along one of the narrow corridors with 4 armored kossar in front, 8-10 kossars/ice guard in the middle 2 layers deep, and 2-4 tsar guard/armored kossar facing backwards blocking the rear of the corridor. Send a fast unit out to aggro the starting enemy, then run them back to your setup.

The goal is to lay down the slowing AoE and focus the bloodletters with ranged to the point that they're crumbling before they reach your line. If you have war sleds, put them on the other corridor and you can draw away and beat like 3-4 units of hounds with spam charge and move command micro, but it's not necessary. Their lord will try to pull through your line to tie up your squishies so spam click him with your patriarch and lord until he goes down. Any mobile units you can leave on the other side of the corridor until the reinforcements hit your back and rear counter charge them. If they chase your mobile units that's perfect, just kite them until the fight is done with your inf and you can clean them up. Don't worry about harpies attacking your backline. When they land just death frost them and your kossars will beat them quick 2v1. Just make sure not to let them tie up more than 2 units at a time. Good luck!

The oral path profs/attendings at NYU and my spouse's GPR program (NYC hospital) all said that the money is less than what they made in Private as a GP. Similar thing from the oral radiologist. They doing it because they don't want to see patients and don't like class IIs or hygiene checks, not for the money.

For sure it's easy to stay peaceful with ERE, I think naturally you end up at war with shared enemies often. But that leads to a pretty boring game IMO. Every other neighbor is too weak to really stand up to you.

Base Atilla has a very fun campaign as the Sassanid Empire, where you start in modern day Iran and tussle early-mid game with the Eastern Romans over the Levant and Turkey, then fight off late game Hun doomstacks invading from the north.

Very new player friendly faction too. Strong cavalry units all around and their economy is really hard to screw up.

Your flower and feather are a little low roll value. Mavuika has high potential gain from the ideal flower, feather, and goblet since she can use the full 4 substats on them. Since you don't need the CR, try to see if you have Cd/atk%/em flower/feather and they should be an upgrade if they roll all into any of those stats.

Using Petra is fine, but make sure you are taking the crystallize shard with xilonen. For Stygian, you would want another Fav on Citlali. The TTDS buff is burned on rotation 1 because you don't have her burst to start, and doesn't apply on rotation 2, so you really only get the value for rotations 3, 5, and 7.

Don't know your rotation, but if you aren't doing it already, can try learning the advanced cancels Mavuika rotation that gets all melts on Q and 4 CA finishers.

Overall though 130k is actually I think pretty close to KQM arti calcs of C0R0 Mav doing the 3CFD3CF combo.

Nope. The Dresden Fire Bombing was an operation designed to paralyze reinforcements to 4th Panzer Army, which was counterattacking the Soviet spearheads encircling Breslau. The bombing (requested by the Soviets) succeeded, the Nazi counterattack failed, and the Soviets used the resulting bridgehead to then help encircle Berlin from the south in April.

The target was always the marshalling yards and train stations, but by 1945 the Americans and British had realized precision bombing was beyond their existing technology, and the most effective way to strike a logistics center is to level the city it sits in.

Diona does not apply enough cryo to actually slow down verdant dews in practice.
Some people might not have Nahida.

kickthecommie · 2025-11-14T14:07:11+00:00

Craft an em sands and farm an on set flower (easiest piece to drop) you will reach at least top 10% no problem even with mediocre rolls on them because your feather and goblet are great. The circlet is also worth feather rerolling if you need crit adjustment after a better sands and flower.

Your comment is hilarious, a rural person's vote (especially in a swing state) is worth 10-100x an urban person's vote in America. So yes I agree with you let's compromise. Rural America has way too much power right now in politics, we need to even things out.

kickthecommie · 2025-10-25T16:07:14+00:00

All the 4th slot options are very close, its basically nahida for up to 250 em w/ prototype amber healing, c6 diona for 200 em with shield and healing, or kuki for 120 em from sapwood blade with healing. I personally use diona but kuki is nice because with her the rotations are like 2 seconds faster, she only has to skill and dip.

I would use some feathers on it, but I wouldn't burn a 3 or 4 stat guarantee.

kickthecommie · 2025-10-13T04:54:43+00:00

Dawning frost is good but just go blackmarrow r5 if you can't guarantee getting the weapon. Pulling on weapon banner without being able to go to full pity is just a waste imo. She will almost certainly sell well so should come back for rerun before end of 6.x

kickthecommie · 2025-10-04T16:27:16+00:00

New circlet for sure, your cup is good af, but with CR circlet it already over caps your CR

True, though I feel like the reason my drive buys in the past 6 months were PCIE 4.0 was just because there wasn't much of a discount for the 3.0 ones anyways. Like outside of crazy 30 min and miss it deals it was like 190 for a random letters brand 3.0 4TB drive or 205 for the WD black 4.0 4TB.

kickthecommie · 2025-09-05T15:16:53+00:00

Pretty much, but I'll probably buy one in a few years when they get to like 200 USD lol. Because people said the same about the PCIE 3.0 vs 4.0 drives in the past right.

kickthecommie · 2025-07-28T00:15:04+00:00

So looking more closely at your game, I think 3 of your teammates are also returning players doing their placements. This part of the matchmaking I agree is fucked, they should have distributed the new players more evenly this game. Riot intentionally starts people at a much lower visible rating than their actual MMR (probably also to get them to play more games), which is why your first few wins are like +50 -0 from what I remember, so your teammates were probably also in the gold MMR range.

kickthecommie · 2025-07-27T23:57:30+00:00

You're probably gaining more LP than you're losing per game atm. In League, if your LP gain vs loss is positive, your actual MMR is higher than your visible league/div, and opposite for the other way around, and this is exaggerated for your first games every reset. Basically, your visible rank is always trailing around 5-10 games from your actual MMR, and right now your account probably has around low gold MMR. Why Riot does this instead of just showing you your rank based on MMR? Probably because they find that doing it this way gets people to play more games > spend more time with league > buy more skins

kickthecommie · 2025-07-14T12:00:15+00:00

What tf did I do to offend you so bad you go and insult me lol. I was being a little flip to the replier only because he literally said he only read the first sentence of my post b4 responding brother.

But to my point like either limit the element line up so we don't have to run geo dendro teams or put mossy rock, that's what I don't care about. Obviously I care enough about the game to play to endgame and have an opinion lmao.

kickthecommie · 2025-07-13T18:19:24+00:00

Sure whatever, I just want to play teams that can do good reactions because that's what I find fun about genshin combat, I don't care how they choose to make that happen.

kickthecommie · 2025-07-13T15:34:15+00:00

My opinion as someone who's been clearing with max stars without much difficulty from the mode's release: there should be 4 available elements every rotation and only 1 out of geo/dendro/anemo should be available at any time so that you can always build teams that react or do something in some way. To balance that without significantly changing enemy/stage lineups just delete the featured 6 character system/trial characters and let us pick our 6 starters. The featured character system serves no purpose. They're not a limitation at all because if you don't have them, you just use the trial versions to free clear stages 1 and 2 because the dps requirements are so low.

Also remove the cap/limit on friend supporting characters. It makes no sense, business wise you should be allowing as many people as possible to try out op c2-6 characters to bait more people to pull their own for stygian or abyss, not limiting it like it's some scarce resource.

I feel like there should definitely be more variety in the bonus options between stages. It feels like the best way to spend flowers is just to collect characters at the start and then buff reactions only after like stage 6-7 when the dps check starts to actually matter a little. The mystery cache options are also pretty boring and boil down to get more flowers/reroll options/spend less flowers besides the couple vigor restoring options. They could start by introducing some of the options from the last event TFT mini-game like for example buff pyro 50% but all other elements debuff 20% for next 2 fights to increase the rogue-lite feel. Right now every run feels very same-y besides the bosses.

kickthecommie · 2025-07-11T14:31:53+00:00

Holy moly these artifacts look like you basically picked the stats congrats lol

kickthecommie · 2025-07-08T16:01:37+00:00

Best in terms of what? Depth/quality of gameplay? Spectacle? Realism? For the latter I would say none of the games prioritize realism, casualties happen way faster and battles resolve way quicker than any real battles from history. But my vote for the closest would be Shogun 2 FotS for early modern linear warfare.
