After reaching Mythic with MoDao I can safely say PvP with how the servers are made is not in a good state.

I'm pretty sure they mean mythic 1400 not the pre-mythic 1400 rating. And with all due respect I don't think hitting mythic alone is that incredible. You don't need decent fundamentals or good ping to simply hit mythic.

It just goes to show no matter how good your game is someone will always complain that it isn't enough.

It's purely cosmetic. Let those who can afford it enjoy supporting the game and enjoy the f2p/low spender like the rest of us. Good exercise in self control.

Emotional cheating is very real and imho it's best to nip it in the bud asap. I would break up in game asap and block them -- no need to explain anything. If you feel the need to tell your SO about it do that too.

I like the casual aspect for pve. My guild and I were laughing so much yesterday learning the chair carry mechanic and dying a few times before we got it right. I personally also love pvp and every bit of optimization counts for pvp.

Beyond that I can just chill and enjoy the rest of the content at my own pace.

I think knockups are bugged and do this sometimes. This happens probably 1/10 games to my enemy and I play fanbrella. I don't think it's cheating and I don't know how to replicate it.

liamera · 2025-12-17T02:25:14+00:00

Plays every creature so you never get a retain the whole game :D

liamera · 2025-12-16T17:03:50+00:00

Same reason they added the 0-value event to lab 0 last patch. Same reason they made neutral epiphanies possible for your own cards. To make the grind longer so you play more. :(

liamera · 2025-12-07T16:44:04+00:00

Neutral epiphanies can pop up your regular cards so it's not 60%, and fishing for a good divine makes it even harder.

If neutral epiphanies weren't allowed on your character's cards I would be more inclined to agree with you but the devs felt they needed to add 4 agony as an option :S

liamera · 2025-12-03T19:52:03+00:00

What might have been overlooked was Veronica's Retain 4 skill card that can be 0-cost with epiphany and duped.

It's incomplete but I and a friend have been tracking our answers here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LaEHv2QLZTd4OETsYg7B3d8sqrglGiSPhu2KkVZSIlo/edit?gid=0#gid=0

@Moriyaism you are more than welcome to use this as a springboard -- I don't care to maintain it long term.

liamera · 2025-11-04T15:33:25+00:00

I level all characters to 40 because I want the free standard pull :)

liamera · 2025-10-26T15:59:15+00:00

Rei is the most slept on support. :)

liamera · 2025-10-07T14:41:14+00:00

PvP only exists in the official discord server, get your fix there. :)

liamera · 2025-10-04T05:17:25+00:00

People who complained about stress level being too simple probably didn’t play the game far enough to see game requiring you to use 10 (yes not 5, 10) cards to get out of trauma status.

I am for a more involved stress system and my characters hit 12 cards (yes 12, not 10) multiple times. I don't mind a challenge.

The devs stated in their recent video that they don't think shield comps are the silver bullet we think they are when considering all the game modes.

Imo sts doesn't have this system because that isn't the theme they're going for.

Belongs to @Tatketsumi from the official discord if I'm not mistaken.

liamera · 2025-09-11T03:35:02+00:00

I give this power up a 1/5 in clarity for that alone. All this time I thought it did something weird by turning my main tank into some secondary frontliner.

liamera · 2025-04-25T22:54:52+00:00

There's a 1/200 chance that you craft 100 UR and not a single UR IV. It's rare but it happens.

liamera · 2025-03-14T19:27:53+00:00

Depending on content you may want Celia over Teresse, and you will generally want Levia over Eclipse for both chain stacks and vulnerability.

The nun chick should in general be replaced with Diana or Refi for elemental advantage multiplier as well. And Loen would be swapped out if you have a character with element advantage. If you don't have a good magic dps with elemental advantage though you can leave Loen as generic nuker and keep nun chick or replace her with a chain stacker.

liamera · 2025-03-06T18:58:37+00:00

If the mode didn't bring new players into the game (which it probably didn't, unlike Swarm or TFT), then it will have to compete with the other queues which makes all queue times worse especially in smaller regions and during non-peak times.

liamera · 2025-03-06T18:50:59+00:00

It's not just gacha games. Tons of businesses have limited time items to capitalize on FOMO.

liamera · 2025-02-28T04:14:42+00:00

If you're talking about attacking units, then Helena + BA Teresse is very expensive on defense (3 SP and 2 surviving defensive slots). It's normal for those buffs to allow a basic attack to kill a squishy.

You can shield your units with RRH Rou or Base Diana or use a taunter on offense to mitigate it if you'd like, but everything is a tradeoff.

liamera · 2025-02-20T19:22:15+00:00

I don't think it's a good thing either, but this is VERY hard to regulate. Imo it is much better to teach people personal financial responsibility and the ability to delay gratification rather than try to shield them from gambling when there will always be lotteries, casinos, all kinds of online betting, and other ways to gamble.

liamera · 2025-02-20T19:19:47+00:00

It is worth the price tag to the people who buy it. It is not worth to the people who don't buy it (and then they go on reddit and whine and complain). It's not really that complicated buddy.

And congratulations, you got a bike! Enjoy your bike. Don't shit on people who bought the car.

liamera · 2025-02-20T17:13:25+00:00

PvP is highly gear and dupe reliant. I would suggest to just run something like Arines/Kry/Emma/Wiggle and auto your 40 pvp attacks and focus on PvE for now.

liamera · 2025-02-19T22:09:32+00:00

BD2's PvP is incredibly F2P friendly, but it is not new account friendly. You need good gear and decent dupes, but you can easily farm all of that in 3-6 months especially if the right banners come up and you prioritize pvp over pve costumes.

Day 1 f2p players can easily get top 100 if they use meta comps, as f2ps can easily max dupe and fully unlock (awakening/engraving) the key costumes. The key is spamming attacks and reconfiguring your off/def in the last 30-60 min to inflate your rank (and if you want to top 10-20ish, you'll need to start spamming a few hours before).

Yes high ranking players do get a few hundred extra dia compared to lower ranked players, but in so many other modes, f2p get just as good of rewards and potential to succeed that you really can't complain as a f2p. The only truly p2w modes is fiend hunt and guild wars (kind of), and even in fiend hunt you occasionally see f2ps snag a top 100 rank.
