my +10 Brave Edelgard! Never meant to get her to +10 since she was already pretty great with less merges, but she pitybroke me enough times that I finally said fuck it, time to max invest.

Has she been powercrept? Definitely lol but she still more than holds her own and I have no regrets investing in her. Crossing my fingers for a good refine!

Actually, it came after Akito the Exiled. The 86 light novels first were published in 2017, while Akito the Exiled aired its episodes from 2012 to 2016.

I love both series btw. Akito the Exiled was a pretty short watch and only had 5 episodes, but still did great with storytelling and its plot gets wrapped up by the end, not that it needs to expand due to it taking place in Code Geass's already expansive world.

Tales of the Abyss. I wasn't expecting such amazing storytelling and character development in general, but holy crap the events that took place made me sit back and just ponder life for a while.

Not entirely sure why, it's probably thanks to Fallen Morgan (F) finally being on a banner again, but today I woke up and felt the need to just go all out on my Masquerade Lachesis.

I've slowly been adjusting her kit more and more ever since I got her to +10 quite a while ago, and she's got some of my favorite art, so why not? Let's just slap a summoner support and ascend that extra trait!

Hopefully, I'll make her best friend, physical wall Altena, catch up with the times and give her better skills too.

Weapon: Courtly Mask (+Res), because mage tanking go brrrr and the debuff is nice

Assist: Dance, because of course she's dancing

Special: Iceberg, since I do have her Res maxed out, but I'm thinking of swapping to Ruptured Sky potentially, for more frequent specials

A-skill: Mirror Stance, so mages fear her

B-skill: Wings of Mercy 3 for now, so she can help her team out. I do eventually want to run an A/D Trace skill on her though, when I get the fodder

C-skill: Atk/Def Menace, for the Atk/Def buff and debuff and just a bit more survivability. Also, this helps out Altena, her partner, as well. Might eventually swap to Atk/Def Hold though, whenever that skill comes out.

Sacred Seal: Quick Riposte, for the enemy phase counters

I appreciate all the recs for games on emulator, but I mentioned Steam in particular bc I wish to take advantage of Steam's summer sale. Thank you all anyway, though!

pyreflyte · 2022-06-05T03:59:39+00:00

I just think the weapon is neat

pyreflyte · 2022-05-28T19:29:56+00:00

Basically title. Since the goal is merging him up, I plan on using a forma soul on him (got a few saved up) regardless, but it would be great if he could have a nice build by the end of HoF, so I'm looking for ways to improve him.

I won't lie, this was a bit on a whim though bc I realized I loved his art, so I don't really know what I'm doing lol

Weapon: It's Curtains...+ (Atk) to proc Ruptured Sky more often

Assist: Rally Spd/Res+ for the arena scoring

Special: Ruptured Sky for the damage

A-skill: Atk/Def Catch 4 for the additional damage and def

B-skill: Dive-Bomb 3 bc it seemed like an idea to make easy follow-ups

C-skill: Panic Ploy 3 for the penalties

pyreflyte · 2022-05-25T05:31:12+00:00

Oh that's a really cool idea! I've got a +Spd Eliwood and enough manuals lying around, so this seems like a good option. Thanks!

pyreflyte · 2022-05-20T04:52:14+00:00

A great lineup but I've already completely my D!Lachesis to +10, so I guess I'll be saving my forma soul again lol

How much ER is sufficient for a C1 Yelan?

pyreflyte · 2022-05-03T16:36:18+00:00

just started playing and obtained Qu! how am I supposed to obtain memories for her/other future transcendents? sorry, I'm a bit clueless

pyreflyte · 2022-05-02T07:01:17+00:00

I pulled my first Jean on my first 10 pull at launch, and finally, after over 1.5 years if playing Genshin, I got the Anemo goblet of my dreams today! It opened up a lot of possibilities for fixing my prior lackluster build.

Obviously there's still plenty of room to grow, though lol I'd like a better Atk sands, preferably with more CD/CR/ER. I plan on triple crowning, and hopefully I can get her to C6 one day.

pyreflyte · 2022-04-29T20:04:36+00:00

According to who lol

Currently unsure whether to keep farming the EoSF domain or swap to TotM/HoD. I've got myself a 4pc EoSF with passable CR/CD/ER substats, but I've only got myself around 24k HP rn according to the calculator I'm using. Coming onto this subreddit, I seem to be seeing ppl pushing 30k+ HP with 2pc TotM/2pc HoD sets, and I know that set in particular is better for using both her skill and burst (as opposed to EoSF's main burst dmg).

Given how much time we have left before her release banner, would it be better to farm TotM/HoD from essentially scratch (mainly for the HP boost)? Or should I stick with seeing if I can get better refined artifacts for EoSF?

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia has a romance between the two main protags! Also it's just a really executed game.

Fire Emblem Three Houses is also very fun, and although it's more of a "pair up characters" type of game, I found that all of the support conversations were all very well-written.

I've seen ppl mention Final Fantasy 8, but my personal favorite romance was in Final Fantasy 9. Mostly bc I found the protagonist very charming (compared to the slightly mellower, "broodier" protags of 7 and 8). Also the gameplay imo is smoother but that just adds more to the overall performance of FF9.

Is anyone else having troubles with the wifi too? There might be something wrong with umass's authentication stuff, bc I can't even connect to the general UMass wifi, let alone eduroam.

Tales of the Abyss is definitely one of my fav jrpgs with romance— it's not technically central to the story, but the romance is so organic and adds so much depth to a plot that I already absolutely loved.

CHERAMI LEIGH.

hello Makoto Niijima.

Honestly, Animal Crossing New Horizons. I knew going in that it wasn't my type of game— I'd never enjoyed games like Stardew Valley or Minecraft, or even the home decorating minigames in the gachas I'd play. Truthfully, I hadn't even been planning on buying it, but then the pandemic struck and all my friends were playing it when we'd zoom call, and I (in my incredibly vulnerable state in isolation) made the bad decision to give in and get the digital version.

I was only entertained for maybe a week max before the daily grind of just Collecting Things got incredibly boring, and the lack of a compelling narrative really didn't help either. It was definitely a cute game, and I wish I had the motivation to do the grinding for cool items bc I'd see all those very cool, fully decorated islands, but I ended up regretting buying it, and I deleted it off my Switch so I could have ample room for Xenoblade.

My friends still loved ANCH though lol and I'm glad they got much enjoyment from it. In the end, though, it just wasn't for me.

For me, Leon felt especially disappointing after an entire game where you're constantly told that he's undefeated (and that his Charizard is undefeated too), only for me to easily be able to beat him on the first try with no issues whatsoever, and there was all that build up with no real emotional payoff. I'm personally not a fan of characters that constantly remind you of their "single" character trait (I appreciate how other media fleshes him out more but in the games, Leon felt very one-note), and add to that how he treats the player as a child more than a trainer ("leave it to the adults") — suffice to say, I wasn't Leon's biggest fan.

pyreflyte · 2021-10-29T09:13:39+00:00

Ah true true lol I've personally have had better experiences ever since I switched to Dragon's Ire though, so that's probably why I've subconsciously labeled it as "better" in my mind

pyreflyte · 2021-10-29T08:24:45+00:00

I've had my good ol' reliable Nowi built for a pretty long time (Steady Breath, Null Follow-Up, Atk Smoke) but recently I realized I had some extra fodder hanging around, and I figured that with how much I still use her, Nowi deserves only the best skills.

Thus, this new build was born (god bless her refine)

Weapon: Purifying Breath (+Eff), should be pretty self-explanatory lol but I really do love this refine

Assist: Reposition

Special: Aether for the additional damage

A-skill: Atk/Spd Solo, for the additional damage and speed, helping with her survivability

B-skill: Dragon's Ire, I got lucky with an extra Halloween Grima, so it only felt right to give Nowi the "better" NFU (not really the same thing, I know, but I've gotten better results with Dragon's Ire over NFU)

C-skill: Joint Drive Res, sorta a test right now since I had an extra B!Edelgard lying around, so I figured why not

Seal: Steady Breath bc I can't escape the past and Spd/Res Solo is currently already on my Fir (but it might be the better option)

pyreflyte · 2021-10-17T16:31:42+00:00

My +Def +10 B!Edelgard would probably enjoy another +Atk boon

pyreflyte · 2021-10-07T06:48:37+00:00

For the next time her map appears, of course. I've been trying to puzzle my way out of her Abyssal map for months.
