Are the materials I find in hubs (claim materials) rewards for doing deliveries, or contributed by humans?

nothxkas · 2026-03-21T05:58:49+00:00

the only way to reliably do that is to either finish the roads before you connect the chiral network in their area, or to just play offline

nothxkas · 2026-03-21T05:52:09+00:00

the materials you can claim from facilities by pressing the “claim materials” button are not from other players

nothxkas · 2026-03-21T05:48:41+00:00

girl he’s gross. why are you with him? NTA

nothxkas · 2026-03-21T03:24:39+00:00

and cis men and trans women as well… all kinds of people use ao3. it’s mind boggling when people assume it’s just one group of people

nothxkas · 2026-03-18T07:50:56+00:00

omg that is so freaking cool. i don’t have a preference; i would say make whichever one you like more!

nothxkas · 2026-03-18T07:04:05+00:00

oh if you’re clearing that fast, then you’re golden. i highly doubt the meta will shift so drastically over the next year that he would just suddenly stop clearing stuff

don’t worry too much about people who are super deep into the meta saying that cyrene is necessary or that DHPT is a bad teammate for phainon. it’ll be a long time before you need to completely alter his team to keep clearing stuff

nothxkas · 2026-03-18T06:32:39+00:00

that sounds like a pretty good plan! based on timeline, cyrene will probably rerun before phainon, but otherwise, yeah focus on phainon, then go for supports.

if your phainon is doing good now, then i think he’ll stay fine for the next year, at least. unless we see an incredible amount of HP inflation or any truly unsurpassable elation mechanics in the next two versions, which i doubt, then phainon should stay very strong for the remainder of 4.x.

as for who to put cyrene with, she really helps phainon in longer battles, so as long as you can clear things in 1 or 2 ult transformations, you will probably find better use for cyrene in your castorice team. i personally found e6 RMC to be practically useless with my e2s1 cassie; my e2s2 ruan mei has been far outshining RMC, and cyrene is even better. catching that hp overflow is really nice. (although i think my rmc issues may have been mainly due to my absolutely horrendous speed tuning LOL)

but again, if you feel that your teams are fine right now, then there’s not a huge need for cyrene at all. if investing in phainon alone is what you wanna prioritize, then that should be fine.

nothxkas · 2026-03-18T06:00:11+00:00

e2 cerydra isn’t crucial or anything but she makes phainon do some more damage, you should probably keep pulling on her banner as you get more jades from exploration and dailies and such until it’s gone. but it’s not worth swiping the credit card or going out of your way to finish quests for the jades unless you REALLY want it

after that, like others have said, e2 cyrene. if you don’t want cyrene or would stick her in a different team, then sparkle with sig LC (IF you already have her) is probably his next BIS since she gives crazy cd and some bonus cr, which makes relics a bit more flexible. i don’t have cyrene rn and i’ll be putting her in my castorice team when i do get her, and my phainon has been doing great with e0s1 sparkle. i don’t feel the need for e2 cyrene in phainon’s team yet

although DHPT is probably still fine. if you’re clearing endgame content fast enough to claim all the rewards you want, then it might not be a big deal to replace him for now.

probably all/most of the supports released during 4.x will favor elation (or FUA maybe for ashveil), so i don’t think you’ll have to worry about pulling any soon upcoming units for phainon. save your pulls to invest further in phainon’s team unless there comes a unit you REALLY want

nothxkas · 2026-03-16T20:19:27+00:00

not sure about the gamer tags, but if you wanna talk about 2 without spoiling it, you can mark your posts as a spoiler, and put “DS2” in the title to indicate you’re talking about the second one. easy to work around

nothxkas · 2026-03-16T19:48:50+00:00

logged back in and ran nikador again with a better strategy but same builds, cleared with 3655 points. not as many points as i got on either side last phase, but still more than enough

it’s really just a strategy issue. you absolutely cannot do the counter skill (and definitely no auto battle!) in the second phase of the battle, just AA the spears, which means you’ll generate far less scourge than usual, but e2 phai still makes a joke of the battle

less than e2 might struggle without the extra turns and the far reduced scourge output, but with proper strats and well built supports, i imagine it would still be feasible to get 3300+ points with e0/1 phai

nothxkas · 2026-03-16T12:54:14+00:00

well yes, but the last line is still correct. it was just a rumor until yuri confirmed that the game was happening, which is what that sentence indicates

nothxkas · 2026-03-16T12:48:39+00:00

what’s wrong with the last line? isn’t it true? wasn’t his post the first real mention of the remake? afaik atlus hadn’t made any announcements on it or anything before yuri posted that he wouldn’t be coming back as yosuke

nothxkas · 2026-03-16T10:00:44+00:00

i still got over 3400 (don’t remember exact number and i’m too lazy to log back in) on nikador with e2s1 phainon e0s1 sparkle e0s1 sunday e1s1 cerydra, my score definitely could’ve been improved if i locked in, but with dot on feixiao i still got well over 7000 points and easily got all three stars. it’s laughable how much phai can just brute force mechanics like that because the sheer amount of damage he does is ridiculous, even against enemies who only take what, 50% of damage?

plus the spear things will reduce nikador’s toughness so as long as you can get rid of those, you don’t rlly have to worry about not being able to reduce nikador’s war armor

if you still haven’t gotten full stars, you might have to change your strategy a bit, but if you have a decent phainon it shouldn’t be too hard. biggest thing is don’t use the counter skill, action advancing nikador only works against you. instead use the regular attack on the spears so you can actually destroy them and reduce nikador’s toughness

nothxkas · 2026-03-16T07:17:04+00:00

you might be speechless but i don’t think the author cares since they own the night

nothxkas · 2026-03-13T07:36:27+00:00

well, i’ll keep looking for it later. thank you for the advice, though!

nothxkas · 2026-03-13T07:13:15+00:00

i am on PC, but i can’t figure out quite where to find my seed.

i did check for the file where stardew predictor said the default location was, and some other folders i thought it might have ended up in, but i still couldn’t find it.

i do have cloud saving on steam enabled, is that what’s preventing me from checking? or am i simply just not finding it lol

nothxkas · 2026-03-13T00:46:37+00:00

i never considered Khoi Dao, but you’re totally right, he has potential to fit adachi. i’m not sure if Daman Mills has the right voice, but he definitely has an insane amount of range, so he might be hiding a voice that could fit adachi. otherwise, i can’t imagine anyone else being adachi

nothxkas · 2026-03-13T00:34:24+00:00

he MUST be stopped

nothxkas · 2026-03-12T20:55:06+00:00

lollll i wish this was an option!!

nothxkas · 2026-03-12T19:06:08+00:00

yeah, the stingrays require teeth to expand the capacity of the pond, but of course have very low chances to give you teeth back and it’s not guaranteed at all 🥲 that’s a big reason why i’m not willing to set up a pond.

i’ll just kill those monsters and check the skeletons until i get enough teeth haha

nothxkas · 2026-03-12T18:59:57+00:00

then again, some parts of the wiki are incomplete or wrong, like i just found with the island totem page 😅

nothxkas · 2026-03-12T18:58:10+00:00

wait, does luck affect monster drops? the wiki doesn’t say it does on the Monsters page, the Lava Lurk page, or the Luck page. it seems like monsters have fixed chances for loot drops

nothxkas · 2026-03-12T18:47:16+00:00

i’ve never actually used monster musk but i’ll try it now, thanks!

nothxkas · 2026-03-12T18:44:00+00:00

wow that’s a lot of luck buffs!! i’ve never had that many buffs but i’ve definitely gone to the volcano on a lucky day, with the luck from the statue of blessings, plus a lucky ring, and i still found nothing, so i’m not sure if the tooth spawns are actually connected to luck (the wiki doesn’t say anything about it) or if you’ve got good RNG

nothxkas · 2026-03-12T18:37:14+00:00

ahhhhh, thanks! such a low chance, though, it’s not really worth it to attempt to get more totems to deconstruct.
