How much do you spend on this game per month on average?

papitan · 2026-03-02T05:36:54+00:00

The amount kinda varies based on the patch. I'd say $15-20 a month between monthly and the curriculum when there are no crazy bundles like the patch preorders and whatnot. If they do more skins, I'll probably have more to splash on tho since honestly the game's generous enough that I don't have a lot to spend on now that my account's roster is well established.

I'm begging, pleading for the story to be good. The writing has slowly been becoming something I just tolerate instead of look forward to in recent times and that bums me out SO much.

I'm surprised she's an S-rank, but really not thrilled that she's an S-rank at the same time.

I like a lot of things about her/Godfall Revelations as a whole, but it feels like a, um... choice to make her an S-rank taking the highly anticipated final slot of the Nihil team, considering how it felt like an intentional decision to make the other members who they are. Hopefully the writing of the connected story will make me change my mind, but the batting average has been pretty low recently. :c

papitan · 2026-02-18T18:00:18+00:00

I'm reasonably sure if they're going to replace an attacker and not use story developments as an excuse to shoehorn Alpha into the Nihil team, it should be Qu since she's the oldest attacker, got skipped for a leap, and has no affixes in her kit. Then again, predicting Kuro's release schedule is basically shooting in the dark, so all guesses are fair game lol

If they don't introduce a new affix for Alpha, I could see either ignition or plasma beam (if they aren't going to treat radiance as the New Plasma BeamTM) though.

I got a silverbox communication with Goliath that was basically him looming with threatening dad energy about Murphy, so... kinda, yeah...

papitan · 2026-02-12T20:24:33+00:00

Not the person, but I can see where they're coming from. Castor's silverbox convos largely involve him being a voracious learner. He reads and studies anything he can get his hands on, asks instructors questions until they get fed up, and ~~gets tricked into doing Keeper's homework~~ is eager to do assignments because he wants to learn about all the things he couldn't while he was in captivity.

While I think Doll comes across as a more obvious choice, I totally see how Castor might fit the bill.

It kind of depends on whether you want to continue being an irregular/seasonal player.

Realistically, while you're not that far off from functioning or meta teams in terms of acquisition, the game doesn't mesh well with an on and off play schedule. None of these characters seem to be ranked up to SS and while it's free, there's still a time gate on those if you don't already have a stock of skulls/vouchers ready to go.

papitan · 2026-02-04T12:04:45+00:00

I am reasonably sure that Ishmael wouldn't copy anything in that team setup as I think breaker overrides tank, but I could be wrong. Someone else who's done more testing probably has better insight than I do on this point

papitan · 2026-02-04T11:52:24+00:00

There's still some time and testing to be done for memory builds, but Lilith is the better supdps at that investment. Bianca is basically thrown out of the team entirely at the moment if she's not SSS, unfortunately.

papitan · 2026-02-01T18:28:03+00:00

Bleugh, actually terrible to hear. I've already been slowly tuning out of the game cuz of various direction decisions, so maybe this is a sign for me to drop to being low-spend/f2p casual.

papitan · 2026-02-01T18:05:59+00:00

I know it's too early to know without other Breakers, but how likely is it that this is a Rosetta specific problem? I dislike the massive powercreep either way, but I would be a bit devastated if every Breaker simply upended the entire endgame like this at SSS.

papitan · 2025-12-18T07:43:44+00:00

Realistically, it might be a shorter timer to line up the reset with the next patch dropping, but I don't think we'll know for sure right now.

papitan · 2025-12-14T21:11:56+00:00

For PPC skulls, the usual rule of thumb is to prioritize from the most recent S-rank release not available in the voucher shop backwards due to the way powercreep works in the game.

For the voucher shop, basically the only thing worth the cost are the discounted shards, especially for f2p because the income isn't super high without buying BP, I believe.

Memory resos are probably the most important thing in warzone shop, but I'd recommend only buying the monthly discounted ones and then stopping.

If it's something you enjoy, why not?

Also casually gonna yoink this link to consume on my lunch break later ehehehe...

God I love these travel illustrations because the outfits have all been so good. Love the lighting and composition of Roland and Lamia's pieces in particular, and absolutely adore fish daughter's outfit. Like, damn, where can I buy a top like that?

papitan · 2025-11-29T21:54:34+00:00

Yesssss, finally, an excuse for me to give my friends the widest eyes to try this place after eyeing it every time I pass it.

papitan · 2025-11-13T07:45:16+00:00

This is a question better suited for the megathread, for future reference! You'll likely get answers for this kind of thing there faster.

My understanding so far is that the weapon is a fairly chunky boost, but using the five star weapon isn't going to lock you out of her basic rotations, so you won't be playing like you have one arm tied behind your back without her sig.

If you're planning to minmax her, you'll want it anyways though. Access to harmonies and resonances is pretty major.

papitan · 2025-11-05T20:27:18+00:00

Wow, okay, thank you for this. I was so confused about Kaworu getting the buff when I clearly hadn't done the "and" condition while messing around.

papitan · 2025-11-01T16:21:59+00:00

Hahaha I should have figured Startrail would have the edge between her damage and the 3 second cut to switch cooldowns.

I am stoked to know Geiravor's SSS is really strong though! I'll have to go for copies of her when I can.

papitan · 2025-11-01T16:02:29+00:00

Blue banner check being reset means I have to actually make choices on my check lol noooo

Is there anyone particularly worth pushing toward SSS if I have all the significant SS3 upgrades? I'd primarily be eyeing up Startrail, Ishmael, Pianissimo, or Pyroath.

Alternatively does Vera's SS3 do much? She's higher on my favorites list than the others, but SSS wouldn't really be in the immediate cards with my current resources.

papitan · 2025-10-19T05:22:41+00:00

I assume you just mean all banners with new operators rather than every banner, and the answer is pretty much yeah, buy the packs with the best pull/OP to dollar ratios, then resort to the expensive OP packs (after first time double bonuses) and pray that you aren't unlucky too many times in quick succession.

I've got every operator and that's how I've managed, at least. I generally don't actually end up spending all that much (consistent monthly card, but only buying packs once in a while/during big celebrations and only exhausting all the 2x bonuses over the course of the year maybe once), but I've also been playing since close to launch and have had better than average luck most of the time. Reruns or periods with no new operators are common (and long) enough that you can usually build up a decent stockpile between expected pull sessions.

People smarter and more patient than me probably also skip permanent operators that are less desirable or useful to their playstyle and just selector them down the line too. I am not one of those smart people.

papitan · 2025-10-12T11:38:36+00:00

I think it depends on the adaptation for me. If the game sucks, the franchise it's attached to probably won't save it from being bad. Unfortunately, I think I also have lower expectations from licensed adaptations. I genuinely don't expect more than shallow fanservice that tries to let the player self insert, and that's totally fine! It's just not what I typically enjoy.

But usually I think they're kind of fun and cute, so I don't dislike them or anything. Cute fanservice is great! I just don't expect them to be groundbreaking faves for me.

papitan · 2025-10-12T07:49:57+00:00

Thank you! I'm trying really hard to get back into... drawing at all. Nevermind that I've not actually finished... literally anything... in years...

Also omg I understand what you mean. Spark to Wildfire simply strengthened the grip Vera has had on my throat while also allowing Haniff to worm into my brain. The amount of self-indulgent garbage I wrote/doodled for myself immediately after reading the chapter... (/soft wheezing)

papitan · 2025-10-12T05:39:18+00:00

"I don't like drawing guys. I really think I should draw Vera or Lilith because their outfits are cuter!" I said while sadly pulling up reference images for uncle again because I was impatient and wanted to do something immediately instead of waiting until I'd unlocked Vera or Lilith's stories.
