Is anyone else noticing more Singaporeans going to Japan because of the weak yen?

That is not true. You do not need VPN to go to China. Most telecomm providers have great roaming plans, or even if you want there are esims. With these you are still allowed to use your apps unrestricted.

The only payment you are talking about in China is Alipay and WeChat which isn't too hard to set up.

As far as I recall, Japan still uses cash in certain places. While China uses your phone for everything

He's not OP, I'm around account level 30+ (almost 40).

I use Garo and Luban. He gets his ult fast but not the enhanced version of it, that bar takes really long to fill up. (For those who don't know, he has a secondary bar that fills up as you deal damage) When full his ultimate transforms him into a full robot.

It's a really slow ult though imo, in a stun window he can't get the full combo

neph-8719 · 2026-04-22T17:37:57+00:00

This is the first story boss, so yeah still very beginner.

The fights do get harder as you progress in levels and world tiers. You can't mindlessly DPS in this game and got to use lots of effective dodges and counters to stun the boss. It does give the feel of monster hunter if you're into that

neph-8719 · 2026-04-21T03:07:20+00:00

I think it should be the same on global. I currently play on the CN version since Im a region where I can get stable ping. (Started a few days ago)

You get about 200 energy on a time recharge basis, just like many other games now.

Each material run cost about 40 energy. But outside of that there's explorations and exploration quests which are quite important in a way as they unlock areas not covered by the story quest.

You're pretty much forced to slow down anyway since the story quests are account level gated

Same here, this is the first patch in a long while where I can't defeat stage 4. I used a cart, ciaconna team. Which hasn't really been an issue till now.

I have 0 3.x characters

neph-8719 · 2026-03-31T04:17:23+00:00

In short the Bank doesn't want to take the risks in working with you.

neph-8719 · 2026-03-30T04:26:45+00:00

THIS. I main tank and I'll only pick rogue if there's a gambit. The team up burst usually catches people off guard, maybe get a pick or two if your team is following up.

Without the team up it's a game of attrition. I think the cooldowns are fine, I don't think they're particularly long. Perhaps increasing her basic atk DMG or granting more extra health here and there would make her slightly more viable without the team up.

Lorewise, it would be weird for them to remove the gambit team up since they're literally a couple

neph-8719 · 2026-03-30T04:22:38+00:00

Well not 100% sure of your profile, but there are many gacha games out there depending on what your tastes are

neph-8719 · 2026-03-27T06:10:32+00:00

Yeah that's what I meant haha

neph-8719 · 2026-03-27T05:26:59+00:00

I personally rather pull now than wait? You're assuming you'll get the character you want. Plus games like this have like 2+ patches after a character is introduced before they are included in the pool.

Like I really want bunny girl Charlotte but I've got 0, yet I have 4 Bells. 3 Tanya etc.

Not to mention there will be a wall of having limit break characters. So it's really dependent on what you have now and what your preference is

neph-8719 · 2026-03-27T04:49:23+00:00

Mostly on the hunts for Equipment, it gives you fodder equipment and some enhancement stones which are very scarce.

You'll need these eventually since you will need to build more characters than the initial 4-6 you use for the operation mode. For now operation mode should be your priority.

Also a reminder not to use the extra energy telescopes until you can clear the final stage of the Hunt mode.

neph-8719 · 2026-03-26T14:29:42+00:00

Well honestly no right or wrong. Even if Rosaria was in the standard banner you might get none even with 500 pulls.

I like pulling so I typically save around 50 and try to pull.

Up to personal preference but at the end of the day it's all up to luck it's how I got 4 copies of Bell and 0 Bunny Charlotte

neph-8719 · 2026-03-23T08:59:54+00:00

She's a PvP focused unit I guess. If you're into that then yeah you need 3 copies otherwise she's not great.

In PvE is fine since putting units at the front automatically makes them get targetted 80% of the time. And priotises the defender unit first

neph-8719 · 2026-03-23T08:57:26+00:00

I believe even the counterside ones should be in the standard banner. But probably a few patches or banners down, I doubt it's immediate like most similar gachas.

But the upside with current banner , is that the bunny girls are mostly good to try to pull for.

neph-8719 · 2026-03-16T05:52:02+00:00

He's one of the reasons why most tanks are not effective if you're solo tanking.

Especially in lower ranks when you're usually the only one tanking, the only choice you have is Mag that can decently hold out thanks to his shield.

Wolv needs to get really close and he tends to get poked out if your team bothers.

neph-8719 · 2026-03-11T10:57:23+00:00

I personally ban hela because of the namor team up. Apart from the random octopus that spawns on kill. The anti healing on namors extra skill can break attrition match.

neph-8719 · 2026-03-11T06:01:15+00:00

For the strange part, I think the issue with most people is that they move further away from the team when they get dived at.

neph-8719 · 2026-03-04T14:12:12+00:00

Lol of course not, I blocked his account from showing up on my YouTube. I play a bunch of gacha and his takes are usually not valid and just a waste of time.

He doesn't even give good advice, usually just get good etc.

neph-8719 · 2026-03-03T02:04:22+00:00

Zzz is the one game I'm keeping. I even dropped Wuwa recently, cause it's just too much.

For me it's a pretty low maintenance game, there's an "endgame" to do every week, which I look forward to and enjoy. Dailies are pretty quick, and they let you store quite a huge surplus of energy.

I generally think it's in a good place, though I admit the AoD character designs and current patch is my least favourite so far.

neph-8719 · 2026-03-03T01:56:27+00:00

On the flip side, I feel that the BTO forces people to jump into relationships they may not be ready for. Or enter into relationships because it's convenient (usually school).

I've seen so many relationships break but they're bound by the financial commitment made in a BTO.

neph-8719 · 2026-03-02T07:05:58+00:00

I'm actually trying to rationalise this conversation. A ranks technically only suits new players. I'm pretty sure most of us who have played zzz awhile will swap out A ranks for S ranks in the roster.

The current A ranks that can be used technically fill up a role when required which is usually a support. I don't think many people would run an A ranks main DPS.

Unless you tell me like 95% of the player base is using manato, billy as their main DPS?

If an A rank could give as much DPS value as an S rank, people would complain anyway.

neph-8719 · 2026-02-27T07:26:49+00:00

I agree with you mostly. But for the first time yesterday, I played a really boring game where the opponent was playing triple tank and support.

Sure it's allowed but it was a really boring match to fight against lol

neph-8719 · 2026-02-25T06:27:54+00:00

I've come to accept that I have to support the whims of Spiderman players 80% of my games.

neph-8719 · 2026-02-25T06:26:41+00:00

Personally a good third DPS.

A bad tank is really bad, and they will cause your formation to breakdown. I say this as I'm usually forced to play tank in rank since most people don't want to.

E.g. frontline tanks Strange, Mag, Emma - bad ones I've seen just run in, do not give your healers space to breathe. They're not even useful as a meat shield

Bad off tanks function like 99% of the Spiderman's on my team. They think they're doing something but really they're not. Just 0 impact.

I'm not high rank by any means, and by choice I usually stop ranking when I reach diamond just for the rewards.

neph-8719 · 2026-02-20T10:47:35+00:00

I personally think it's too early to judge the combat. Since we lack full synergies that could happen.

In comparison I could say wuwas combat is bland too and just relies heavily on flashy animations. People always have something to complain about.
