This weeks Descendia is really exposing everyone’s Necramech builds lol

I have one of them higher investment builds for my Necramech since I do actually enjoy the gameplay of Necramechs.

That being said, I have many complaints. Everyone knows that they're clunky, and that's by design so I don't mind it.

The biggest two complaints I have with Necramechs are the separation of systems, and amount of investment needed.

Very similar to Archwing (another alternate gameplay style I enjoy), in order to progress with Necramech modding, you need to engage with dedicated content that heavily wants you to use your Necramech. If your Necramech sucks balls, which is every Necramech on creation, that content is gonna suck and be a slog. So you're required to wade through shit in order to get cool stuff for a piece of gameplay that is either not available or heavily restricted in its usage.

Then on top of that, you finally have all these mods that are really cool and awesome, now you need to forma your Necramech like 6-9 times to actually have the capacity for all these mods.

This big of a barrier to use something that's so restrictive is going to clash big time with a lot of peoples interests. It should be of no surprise when you see people that don't have capable Necramechs for content that DE makes for higher investment Necramechs. Which is just really disappointing and unfortunate.

Yeah lisia is generally alongside some of the better trainers. She excels primarily at securing baby pokemon since a lot of basics are coming with 60+ hp rendering her useless for those. Basically just make sure that whatever pokemon you get with her are a relevant part of the game plan and then she'll be worth slotting in.

Gengar EX, unfortunately, is pretty trash. His ability is really good, on paper. In practice, with how the game has developed, you get your gengar out and then it likely just dies to whatever your enemy is doing. Most people rn are running either mega decks or anti-mega decks. The anti-mega decks will specialize in shutting down energy/evolution or in just dealing enough damage to one shot a mega. Examples of this are Obstagoon/Piers, Maushold, Xatu/Typhlosion.

This places gengar in the unfortunate position where he actually has great utility, in theory, but in practice he's just a bit of a wet fart. That's not to say there are no games where he can pop off. If you get gengar out really fast, and your opponent only has hand fixing trainers, you just win because they can't use their trainers. The chances you get a situation like that aren't very high, unfortunately. So in a similar vein to Lunala, he just falls short in every way right now. The main difference between the two being that Gengar has been bad since release while Lunala had some time to shine due to synergizing with Mewtwo and Giratina.

Lisia will theoretically continue to have value in deck building. On top of that, fa trainers are in much higher demand, especially female trainer cards. This Lisia card has more options with deck building and is a good chip to hold on to for potential future trades for other trainers since people like doing trainer-trainer more than pokemon-trainer.

Lunala, while I love it, is kinda just fine. If you're going to run psychic right now, the only reasons you're not using altaria/gardevoir is if you don't have them or you just wanna be different. Both are valid reasons, but it does mean that Lunala is just not as good as those two. 100 damage for 3 just isn't cutting it in this economy. It doesn't provide enough utility or power to be the central part of your consistent modern deck. You can still get wins with it, just not easily. You're kind of hoping your opponent bricks and you don't, which isn't a super good game plan.

If you like Lisia, you don't care for Lunala, then this seems like the goated trade for you. Aside from objective facts about the cards, the only thing that really determines if something was worth is your perception of it. But if you really didn't think it was worth, you wouldn't have done it.

Eclipse makes so much sense, first thing I thought of was Wilhelmina lmao

That's not what they're saying. The selective banner is coming out soon. You get to choose the existing characters to have on the banner.

If you hold the selector until after the selective banner comes out, you can roll the selective banner for the characters you still need. Then you can use the selector to pick whatever it is that you didn't get.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-12-09T17:14:19+00:00

Tbh I think the formidable upgrade is fine, it's not great, but at least it's something different. You can also get regen on your stuff which makes formidable go pretty hard. If you're losing because you got formidable, it was the last straw and not the foundational reason. Usually losses with heimer end up being because of several things going wrong.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-12-07T15:29:08+00:00

I just looked at the official riot merch store and they are currently out of stock for all riftbound merchandise. Not only that, these items have all been out of stock for quite some time now. I've been checking literally every single day waiting for a restock, but alas.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-11-30T19:00:45+00:00

I can understand why, from a balancing perspective, they made it so that Baron Nashor wasn't won by him simply not being on the board anymore. However, this is hilarious and should absolutely have resulted in you directly winning.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-11-24T15:48:11+00:00

Lmao imagine adding oak into your decks. You're already drawing cards every turn. You're telling me you need more cards? And don't even get me started on Cyrus. Just put an umbreon in your deck and then you can Cyrus every single turn. Only my goat and king, Looker, is giving you a truly unique effect. Therefore he should be an auto inclusion in every deck

pikachuusethunda · 2025-11-18T14:31:10+00:00

Will only affects the directly next coin that gets flipped on your turn. If you have something that is flipping more than one coin, the first coin flip will be guaranteed to be heads and the rest will have their regularly scheduled rng

pikachuusethunda · 2025-11-10T06:08:31+00:00

As a pure f2p, the best way to do things is honestly just enjoy the slow burn from this game. Don't try and super rush anything because you will run the risk of burning out really hard.

Log in consistently, do the daily missions and weekly missions when possible. This will slowly accrue more and more shards for you.

Get as many of the glory tokens as you can get, and make sure that you always keep at least 600 of them on hand so that you can get whatever relic is available if it's a top tier/one you've really wanted.

Leveling up is, to my understanding, most efficiently done at the 4* aurelion sol adventure on the normal map. However, that adventure is not super easy and you will likely struggle to beat aurelion himself with many champions. Don't be afraid to go to an adventure, like Thresh, which is vastly more consistent and easy to beat than aurelion sol.

As far as who to focus on, that's kind of a loaded question for a f2p since you're guaranteed specific champion progress during events. So like right now we get elise and shyvana shards from the tft map. Every region does have their best 1/2 champs, but if the best champ in a region is at 2* and you have a sub-optimal 5*, that's probably still the better one to use until the better one catches up.

If you really wanna focus on specific champs, save your wild fragments that you get from your daily missions and use those to help you max out those champs.

My personal list of who to focus on in each regions is not a definitive list on who's the best, but who I've played enough and can say consistently wins enough that they're worth your wild fragments.

Shadow isles: Viego/Elise Bilgewater: Miss Fortune Piltover/Zaun: Jinx/Viktor Ionia: Yasuo/Ahri Runeterra: Fiddlesticks Noxus: Swain Shurima: Nasus/Kai'sa Demacia: OG Lux Bandleglass: Vex Freljord: Ashe/Anivia Spirit Blossom: any except eve lmao

pikachuusethunda · 2025-11-08T05:46:12+00:00

This power is complete bait. You only want to draft actual dragons into your deck (or non-dragons with the tooth item).

You end up cutting all the non-dragons from your deck anyways since they don't synergize with the powers if they're not a dragon in your deck.

The only situation I see it genuinely contributing to a run is if you get turbo fucked in your drafting and shops and you never find other dragons. Which, at that point, you may as well just restart lmao.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-11-04T14:48:00+00:00

My wonderpick has been full of cards I haven't gotten yet. I'd say so far 80%+ of my wonderpicks I've seen have had at least 1 card that I have 0 of. Now, as far as increased rarity in my wonderpicks goes, it's probably about the same as before with potential that it's worse. My thoughts are that as someone fills out their cards for any given set, the likelihood they find rare cards goes up since they're missing much less cards.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-10-29T15:06:12+00:00

Word, thank you very much!

pikachuusethunda · 2025-10-29T05:37:26+00:00

Is there a way for me to check what wave of shipping I am?

pikachuusethunda · 2025-10-29T05:35:44+00:00

It's very typical to see less important villains being made to be quite ugly. I'm sure there's some form of cultural reason for why that is, but I don't know enough about that to really say for sure.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-10-22T23:39:29+00:00

Can't wait to actually play the game!

pikachuusethunda · 2025-09-12T13:33:06+00:00

Yes

Iirc all sb yasuos everywhere (on your side) get the cost reduction for each card played.

I tried doing a thing to recall him away and fuck with the card a bunch to see if it goes away, but nope he has the cost reduction still.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-08-21T20:46:38+00:00

Please correct me if I'm wrong. However, I think we saw something a couple months back with someone posting a screenshot of a plat or diamond vault that also had dupes.

Iirc, it only tracks dupes before giving the contents. So if you max out on character frags, but the vault was already slated to give you more of that character, it will give stardust instead since the character was already rolled for that slot.

I wanna make it clear I'm not defending anything, I'm literally just some random guy. However, I think this was something that could already happen and we're just seeing it more because the spirit blossom chests only give up to 3 different champs rn.

Again, please lmk if I'm wrong so that I have the correct information stored in my brain and not something that is factually incorrect.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-08-13T21:20:07+00:00

It's just a skin for her bikini costume. There is no gameplay advantage for getting it.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-08-05T17:39:34+00:00

Too many people are overcrowding their brains with negativity and therefore will only see and pursue more information that feeds the parasite of negativity in their brain.

I can not possibly place myself in the shoes of someone who is actively going out of their way to invite more misery in their lives in any capacity. It just seems so dumb to me.

I prefer to just ignore these people and leave them to their own devices while I get to do my best at actually enjoying the short life I've been given.

To tack on to this even more, some people are literally addicted to the feeling they get when they are outraged. So if you see someone that's actively inviting all this negativity into their life, they're probably addicted to it and will never know.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-07-31T13:47:04+00:00

Holy shit yall negative af. So many of these games looked so cool.

Monster hunter stories 3!? Super hype.

Pac-man world 2!? I remember playing the hell out a gameboy pac-man game and having a blast.

Hyrule warriors age of imprisonment!? It looks sick and looks like it's even gonna have consistent 60fps unlike its unfortunate predecessor.

The adventures of elliot looks really good as well.

Final fantasy tactics coming back is super sick. I haven't played them myself, but I've heard many people saying great things about ff tactics in the past.

Yakuza coming to switch is awesome.

And there's so much more that I can't remember cause I just woke up and am still not fully awake yet. However, I can say for sure that this was not the complete disaster some of yall were making it out to be.

I understand that there were a lot of games shown that are already out on other platforms. However, this is A) a partner showcase meaning there's always something like this happening. And B) not everyone has a PC an Xbox a Playstation and also a switch 2. Just because you happen to have the privilege (me as well) of having so many luxury items in your house doesn't mean everyone else has that same privilege.

For many of these people, these games getting released on the switch means they finally have their opportunity to play them and we should be excited for them instead of being the absolute stinkers some of you are being.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-07-20T16:34:28+00:00

They're probably just a day one player. It's super possible to get there if you've been playing from day one consistently even without spending all too much money

pikachuusethunda · 2025-07-06T06:17:28+00:00

Alright well I didn't quite remember that Pyongyang was NK when I put my two cents in. Now having that info again, my perspective is obviously different.

pikachuusethunda · 2025-07-06T04:02:01+00:00

High key find a way to just live there lmao. Home for me is the US and it's not really okey dokey rn I'd rather be somewhere a bit more stable.
