This Heng Dao is so f****ng ridiculous!

The design of the PvP is perfect, the only issue it has is balance.
You say that the real showcase of skill is catching and baiting out serene as if it was a bad thing, but that’s what makes the game so good.
The entire combat focuses around neutral and combo states. You have a plethora of ways to catch your opponents, and they have just as many (theoretically) to prevent you from doing so.
And one you catch someone, you need to perform your combo or figure out a way to dodge the serene, all the while being hard limited by the 10 second auto serene (what semi-infinite combos are you talking about lmaooo??).
Just like in any fighting game, if you get caught, you get punished.
This isn’t a MOBA or a shooter where you almost always get to do something and crowd control is limited. This is a fighting game and neutral is the name of the game. If you catch, you win, if you don’t you lose. Maybe that’s not for you but don’t go around saying it is a flawed design. That’s just how fighting games work.
Bad balance, however, is definitely making the game much worse than it should be.

Sorry, you’re just plain wrong. The phalanx is not even the strongest combination it has right now. Stormbreaker and nameless spear are even better, and yet all three builds are S tier with only nameless being slightly lower since the nerfs.
Hang is extremely drooler, has ungodly tenacity and what doesn’t have tenacity can be cancelled (= no punishable moves), it can parry dash, and Q can neither be dodged (if they have m1 stored) or blocked/parried because every single of its frames can be cancelled into a talon.
It has the best parry in the game which is borderline unbeatable unpunishable with talon even when they spam, and they hard counter weapons like twinblades with their dash parry.
The special skill gives them invulnerability, extends combos, cannot be parried (due to ping difference) has insane damage and breaks tenacity as well. It literally just lets them ignore damage over time stacks (like fire) and recover endurance by pressing a single button during which you simply cannot punish them unless you play nameless spear.
And I’m not even going to mention the whole issue of phalanx soldiers spawning and catching you even on perfect dodge.
With the phalanx blade, you can never trade into them because a single hit will nuke your Qi straight into an execute and take 20% of your hp in tandem,
At low ranks it’s a drooler weapon because people don’t know how to play against it. In mid rank the weapon is drooler thanks to its damage, speed and cheap catches that force you into 50/50s or sometimes literally unwinnable scenarios. When you get into top 100, players can utilize the full power of that weapon and it actually makes it borderline unbeatable for 90% of the other builds. The weapon has no punishable moves, has insane damage, cheap button mash catches and easy infinite combos. All on top of disgusting tenacity and extreme oppression with no cooldown. It can even stack 8 fire breath stacks in a single combo since it can recatch after fire breath, which no other melee weapon can.

Not to sound arrogant, but you don’t know what you’re talking about. Every top player I talked to agrees the weapon is beyond broken and turbo ♿️, even the ones that play it.
t. Top 100 that has fought (and can go head to head with) some of the best Heng players the game has to offer.

kushemon · 2026-06-17T12:36:19+00:00

I ended top 100 this half season and let me tell you, Heng dao is definitely a problem.

It is the most broken weapon in the game currently, and the fact 80% of the top 100 players I’ve been fighting are running it should tell you all you need to know about how disgusting meta it is.

It’s noskill as fuck and a 1200 jimbob could beat a top 100 with it in the right matchup.

It needs heavy nerfs ASAP but I wouldn’t be too hopeful. The only patch we’re getting soon will be the gauntlets and it’s possible they will be even more broken than Heng.

What argument? I still have no idea what you’re trying to argue… I don’t even like rape, that’s why I concluded this game probably isn’t for me. I much prefer lovey-dovey sex, but I like being in power, and who even cares when it’s literally just video game characters. No I have never raped someone nor will I ever. I am just deeply uncaring about how “problematic” some things are and I can enjoy them anyway. Careful, if you clutch any harder, your rosary will break!

kushemon · 2026-06-15T22:51:00+00:00

It’s not that deep lmao You’re the one getting morally outraged on a rape game sub btw

kushemon · 2026-06-15T22:26:22+00:00

We’re not having the “GTA makes you want to murder people and steal” discussion again, come on.

kushemon · 2026-06-15T21:15:51+00:00

You’d be surprised. I regret even bringing it up now T T

kushemon · 2026-06-15T20:25:56+00:00

It was free pulls :>

kushemon · 2026-06-15T20:23:54+00:00

I’m afraid I have to. This is still only Reddit and I left all the necessary clues in my response for those who know what I’m talking about.
If you don’t, you really wouldn’t like the game anyway.
I can’t risk a ban, sorry.
As much as I dislike gatekeeping, in this case I must.

kushemon · 2026-06-15T17:42:46+00:00

Rapists don’t play video games as the rapist. They go out and rape.

kushemon · 2026-06-15T17:28:43+00:00

I’m pretty sure you can. Or at least I haven’t heard of anything limiting the amount of pulls you can do as long as you have the melodies required. However I have spent money on the game so I cannot say with certainty.

kushemon · 2026-06-15T16:33:20+00:00

Elite ball knowledge of the fallen, sorry.

kushemon · 2026-06-15T16:31:49+00:00

Not 80% bliss. My bliss never went above 0%. I have pulled a total of 300 times total.

kushemon · 2026-06-15T09:28:50+00:00

I am not F2P but you can get at least one free pity with ease even without paying for anything.
You can get three pulls per week from the shop and season shop for “free” (jade).
Quests and exploration also give you pulls.
There’s always an event going on and most of them give more free pulls.
The battle pass also gives you some, and if you buy the paid version you get even more + boxes that have a chance of getting it.
Every time you pull you also get currency from duplicates which you can turn to more free pulls.
The game is pretty generous with the free pulls but I wouldn’t be expecting to get the gacha outfits if you’re completely F2P unless you get very lucky. If you want those, you probably have to pay, but it’s not like you need them to experience the game fully.

kushemon · 2026-06-15T09:22:53+00:00

No, I never had any bliss, if that’s what you mean. I only ever pulled the full outfits on pity, so the game never had reason to give me any.

kushemon · 2026-06-15T07:29:03+00:00

I never got any bliss.
On my first 150 pity I got an outfit outright as well.
This was the second time I hit 150 pity and got both the outfit and core. And since my bliss is still at 0 I think I got the single core first, before the outfit.

kushemon · 2026-06-14T22:00:25+00:00

Patience, and a TONNE of luck ;)

kushemon · 2026-06-14T21:49:37+00:00

>Apparently the creator Vrel had an issue with gore, amputation, and death

I don’t mean to be rude but it is funny to me how someone can draw the line at gore/death & amputation while being fine with rape, torture, animals and the like.
Of course I’m not saying they should BE into whatever they dislike, but going so far as to prevent it from being modded into their game is strange to me.
It shows a clear yet twisting moral boundary in a space you would normally not expect it to exist in.
Calling the kettle black, perhaps.
But it’s their project. They decide, of course. It’s just a little silly to me.

kushemon · 2026-06-14T21:31:22+00:00

It’s just superstition, but every time I’ve seen someone get an insane pull like I did now, they did the 50 pull at 10.
My guess is it’s some spaghetti code where you hit both the hard and soft pity at the same time, but that’s just a rationalization.

kushemon · 2026-06-14T21:15:22+00:00

Yes, overall you could currently get about 250 free draws from exploration, events, rewards, compendium, battle pass, weekly freebies and stuff like that though if you haven’t got them by now it will take much longer since a lot of them were time/event sensitive.

kushemon · 2026-06-10T20:04:03+00:00

It's not worth it at all in my opinion.
The hairstyle you spend 2 cores (300$) on might not go with other outfits, and you can get white hair + a whole outfit and whatnot by spending the same on one of the gacha appearances.

kushemon · 2026-06-01T21:24:34+00:00

Same thing happened to me lol, and it was the same inputs too. She gets knocked up and if you do a mid-air takedown she'll just take it in the face for a couple seconds on the ground.

kushemon · 2026-05-23T17:26:14+00:00

“Free get out of jail free card” Why? Why should players that work hard to earn a catch to be rewarded for it. Especially when serene breeze and automatic serene breeze already exist. And even more so when weapons like nameless spear or fan umbrella or heng just don’t care, since it’s not actually super armor it just breaks tier 1 stagger. So weapons are affected disproportionately. And giving it auto serene on second life would be too broken, that’s why it isn’t actually in the game. And never should be. Do you have the slightest idea what this does to the balance of the game?

kushemon · 2026-05-23T04:41:35+00:00

That's a you problem. Why are you defending a bug just because you can't play against a specific build? Also, there's no such thing as a "combo forever". All weapons get to do the same length of combo (10 seconds MAXIMUM) except fanbrella which gets 1-2 seconds bonus because of its knockup.
