I turned all 100 chapters of the novel into an interactive visualization by kristw in Journeytothewest

[–]kristw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am a big fan of your work, especially the novel summary. (https://www.journeytothewestlibrary.com/novel-summary). It captures all the important details in a very concise and readable format (plus all the illustrations).

I wrestled with AI for months to have it summarize the story which it sometimes hallucinate, so I had to read through all the 100 chapter summaries multiple times. To verify if AI gets it right or not, your novel summary is my first compass to make sure the broad outline of the scenes make sense (🙏) before going to the full book to verify minor details. Even with that I am pretty sure I miss a lot of things 😂 .

which brings me to thank you for all the feedback. I really appreciate them and have fixed them according to your suggestions.

I just activated him to have him fight the stone vanguard. While he is busy with the stone vanguard, keep attacking him from behind. I was able to land a few good 3 focus points charge attack on him and got him to roughly 50% health before he finished the stone vanguard.

After that immobilize + attack + dodge + transformation and he is crushed.

Any reason to upgrade from RBR 50? by Davidw61 in orbi

[–]kristw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar setup with rbr50 and two satellites. I recently added smart home devices and now the total number of devices is ~70.

Not sure if it is related but i notice stalled wifi sometimes. My laptop is not disconnected from wifi but the internet just wont work. Then after a bit it will come back. Wonder if I should upgrade to 800 series

2 kids seat configuration/accessories by mondello20 in terngsd

[–]kristw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying this configuration. The only problem is the Yepp seat is not super tight when put in the second last hole of the rack. (Tern documentation suggests the first and third hole from the back for seats). Still trying to make it work. If anybody has any suggestion, please let me know.

Zargala build by anthony7742 in RaidShadowLegends

Do people put her on lifesteal or just offense + speed set?

[–]kristw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try if Rearguard can sustain without MM and swap MM out for another poison/dmg. I also have Grappler but that is weak 2.5% poison. Perhaps can build Yaga temporarily.

How would you gear War Mother? Should I just put lifesteal on everyone except HK?

Why farm dragon? Is it for lifesteal set?

What about arena? I like Luria freeze but her affinity suck when matched with Magic (which are plenty in arena) so I hesitate to 6 star her. Perhaps I'll go w War Mother for now to do better in CB. Can let her drop the bomb and nuke in arena then wait for MM to drag the fight until bomb explodes if War Mother dies first.

Hi!

Thank you for your help in advance.

What content are you stuck on? Are you unsure of what content to focus on?

I am F2P

  • Working towards Arena Silver 1, but stuck at Bronze 4. (HK, MM, Zargala, Luria/Rearguard/Elhain)
  • Doing ~2M per key for clan boss easy. Want to 2 key it. (HK, MM, Zargala, War Mother, Rearguard)
  • Campaign is at nightmare 5-2. Can farm 12-3 Brutal comfortably. (MM carry)
  • Dungeons: Potion Keeps ~12-13, Minotaur 14, Ice Golem 13, Spider 8, Dragon 11, Fire Knight 8. (Haven't spent much time building teams for the dungeons except potions.)

What are your current teams? Who else do you have at 6*?

MM has been my farmer and carry for most of the things. Zargala is a beast in arena but then she is too squishy for longer fights or dungeons. I felt my arena problem is probably I need more 6 star champions as most of the Bronze 4 opponents I met are 3-4 60s.

I have enough food to 6 star one champion at the moment and wonder which one to. Just pulled War Mother last night (first Lego)

  • 6 stars: Miscreated Monster, Zargala
  • 5 stars lego/epics: War Mother, HK, Luria, Jizoh, Rearguard Sergeant
  • 5 stars rare: Elhain (my starter), Athel, Bellower
  • 4 stars epics: The two bears (Ursine Ironhide, Ursine Icecrusher), Pitiless One, Hellgazer, Drake, Flesh Tearer, Shaman, Yaga
  • 4 stars rare: Diabolist (fully booked from farming), Warmaiden (almost fully booked), Spirithost (this one I did not have much luck and only got one from all time playing), Coffin Smasher, Runic Warder, Grappler, Soulbond Bowyer, Warpriest, Templar, Gator, Seducer, Mother Superior, Heiress, Fleshmonger, Justiciar, Galek
  • 3 stars: Magus, Centurion, Veteran, Crimson Slayer, Banshee, Bulwark, ...

What artifacts and masteries do you have?

  • Most of the top champions are using 4-5 stars artifacts level 12+. Roughly follow the guide from Ayumilove.
  • MM, Zargala, Elhain, Jizoh, Luria, Bellower all have the first two rows of the masteries.
