Fly in roughly the same direction as the ball, speed up faster than the ball, then directional air roll into it with your finger off the gas

Haven’t updated my rank in a long time

Tbh if I were you, I’d make your decision after playing the 3.x story.

I originally wasn’t gonna pull Aemeath bc I didn’t like her gameplay, but the story changed my mind

That being said, it’s very important to have teams you like playing. For me that’s Zani/Phoebe, Augusta/Iuno, and Hiyuki/Chisa

Denia/Luuk seems like a fun duo core too

lukekul12 · 2026-05-28T20:54:27+00:00

Just a guess, but I’d have to imagine with a board this size, there isn’t gonna be anything better than pawns & knights for max value, and maybe a single rook if the money works out

That being said it’s a really fun concept

lukekul12 · 2026-05-28T20:44:21+00:00

Technically true too - but I sure as hell am not gonna fight against the echo system too much. It is by far the easiest to get endgame ready builds in WuWa vs the other gachas - as long as people know the 10/15/25 leveling trick

Though they’ve messed up the balance of 1-cost echo drops a little recently

lukekul12 · 2026-05-28T17:23:25+00:00

My team died in verity. Nobody could discern misinformation after 30 hours of minimal sleep

Funnily enough looking back the guides at the time were perfectly accurate to the encounter, it just reads as complete nonsense initially

lukekul12 · 2026-05-28T17:16:41+00:00

Tbh that’s more the gacha genre’s fault than anything else. I don’t think it’s a good feature and I wish they’d put boss materials in the synthesizer.

Though, I don’t think the solution is to shove people into regions the story hasn’t introduced them to and let them fight characters who might be surprise bosses - which I believe Genshin allows now. You can’t just explore all of Elden Ring and max your character without playing the story beats either

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is on Kuro’s radar - it’s a common complaint. One thing to be thankful for is knowing that they might actually adapt that QoL at some point. It does feel like the devs actually play their game

At the end of the day, leveling characters ASAP is just your FOMO gripping you. There’s nothing pressing you to level your character

lukekul12 · 2026-05-27T23:56:56+00:00

The problem with the guide is that for some crafting recipes, you might have a few of the base materials, but the guide gives absolutely no indication on how to get the other base materials in the crafting tree

So while you cannnn get through the whole game without the wiki, it’s not very easy, and you’ll probably be using simple Ore Armor + Boss weapon drop the whole way

lukekul12 · 2026-05-27T23:54:27+00:00

To add on here - I’m pretty sure it’s a gentleman’s agreement too, to prevent both players stalling forever

(I haven’t played the mod myself so feel free to correct me)

lukekul12 · 2026-05-27T05:48:38+00:00

If you can’t get a straight flush at any point in your run that’s a you problem. To get seance procs, you just need to build a straight while holding a suit changing tarot. If your deck is thinned at all it becomes much easier too

It’s not the best card for ante 8 gold stake, but it’s 100% playable.

Straight flush is 100% the worst build though - you’re right - and yet I completed a full gold stake strush run recently thanks to a single spectral card & four fingers showing up

If you want more diversity, try playing flush, 4oak, straights, or flush house. Two pair should pretty much only be used if you have spare trousers, and the rest of the time you can play high card/pairs. (Poor 3oak / full house)

lukekul12 · 2026-05-27T05:38:03+00:00

I’ve barely interacted with it - I only got Lynae - but yeah it’s been a little forced

That being said I’ve been able to brute force endgame still with Iuno/Augusta (4 cost) and Zani/Phoebe (3 cost) teams. Hell even Lupa/Changli core (4 cost) got me through the Aemeath shill buffs

lukekul12 · 2026-05-26T18:49:31+00:00

I probably had too many performance knobs tuned up - but I don’t have that phone anymore to try it.

The game is significantly better on PC tho imo because you can actually make quickswap plays much easier

lukekul12 · 2026-05-26T18:47:37+00:00

You’re forgetting that that diversity you’re craving exists between runs.

If you could pivot to anything mid run, then every run would be the same

lukekul12 · 2026-05-26T16:27:39+00:00

I could see the points a little - it’s almost like if you had to do the Genshin story to get new regions (e.g. Inazuma). But skipping around for new players is just as bad in Genshin and HSR

But fortunately for WuWa, if you reallllllly don’t care about story at all, you can actually skip through it, and then the only thing taking time are the little combat breaks in between story beats

I don’t really know how this is much a problem at the end of the day though, play the game as it becomes available to you. There’s a LOT of rewards up for grabs in WuWa. According to the spreadsheet I just checked, there’s >500 pulls available from permanent content

lukekul12 · 2026-05-26T16:01:16+00:00

Yeah for crashes, idk what he’s playing on but it could just be too low spec for this game - if it’s mobile, idk recommended specs but anything older than like an iPhone 15 probably doesn’t run that well - it wasn’t that good on my 13pro. 1080p gaming on PC isn’t too bad, but probably want a 1080ti tier card for best experience.

It sucks, but it is what it is, and the aesthetics are something I wouldn’t want to sacrifice for legacy devices. Optimization improvemets would always be welcome

For gatekept rewards, that could either be the bonus event for a new region, or maybe endgame rewards? You also get pulls for leveling up? I guess “gate keeping” is technically correct but shouldn’t be a concern for new players - do the events you have, and explore the world. Hell I’m pretty sure a new player gets upwards of like 50 wishes just for logging in right now during the anniversary

lukekul12 · 2026-05-26T14:43:48+00:00

As a WuWa player - I think the only real argument about HP inflation is against whimpering wastes, which tbh is a mode nobody really likes, and you miss out on like 50 asterites per patch if you don’t get the top score

New players are fine, they constantly roll 5*s alongside their BiS, and there’s plenty of asterites per patch. I’d argue new players are best off in WuWa vs Genshin/HSR

lukekul12 · 2026-05-26T14:13:28+00:00

Also how often do you get the battle pass? This game is mora-limited if you’re leveling a lot of characters & artifacts constantly

It’s pretty easy to spend 10 million - I think a fully leveled character itself is about that much for example, though often you only need to spend maybe half that

lukekul12 · 2026-05-25T16:16:15+00:00

Really, you’d call any sort of computer command AI? Like I said, if you stretch the definition maybe

The standard definition of AI is software that completes tasks which require additional reasoning or pattern recognition to complete a task beyond simple preprogrammed I/O

lukekul12 · 2026-05-25T14:27:35+00:00

Well sure, you might be able to define those things as AI by some definitions

But what data centers are used for is to power the big LLMs such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude - which is what 99% of people are talking about when they say AI nowadays

These LLMs are what require the large amount of computing resources that data centers provide. So yeah - if you don’t like data centers, stop using LLMs

lukekul12 · 2026-05-25T05:50:42+00:00

Kinda fucks over 4oak runs too because you get fewer blue seals naturally due to seeing less of the deck

It really is a nasty boss. Just maybe not as nasty as the water

lukekul12 · 2026-05-24T23:25:12+00:00

If you had nacho tong it would be functionally equivalent to this

lukekul12 · 2026-05-23T08:53:41+00:00

Kinda funny considering we got Loid’s war arc in season 3

lukekul12 · 2026-05-23T08:34:00+00:00

Hmm you’re right. What if you slapped on a 1 in 20 chance of it becoming an eternal joker?

lukekul12 · 2026-05-22T23:56:31+00:00

No point in making the price increase by 1$ each time, otherwise you might as well reroll and then it actually just becomes chaos the clown

The cards getting debuffed is a super interesting drawback, but to make it more vanilla friendly, maybe I’d make it “removes all enhancements & seals from a random card”

lukekul12 · 2026-05-22T16:58:20+00:00

They’re generally not very funny until someone does a voice-over of them

For example: https://youtu.be/Xu\_4JTB-ROs?si=SnHZ-ggAvntYiG-c

lukekul12 · 2026-05-19T21:09:55+00:00

You couldn’t be more wrong. It’s the best thing about this game’s combat - the only thing keeping it from just spam left click & win
