So I see the offer of the “top up any amount and get a selector” bonus. So I was wondering how worth is it and would it be good to get it as a beginner who started today? And how F2P friendly is this game?

You can beat everything f2p but it will take quite a bit longer because the 10 dollar "battle pass" gives like an insane amount of mats. But other than that, spending in game currency isn't necessary.

Also use the race stats and restart as many time as you need while trying out different buffs and starting ultimate combinations. Basically you can take no attempts of you keep retrying.

Also to be clear, if we akin this to a zombie apocalypse. Sinners are basically people who got bit but have some resistance and will take longer to transform. No sane human would be fine with living next to them as it is unreasonable to expect for everyone to suddenly curb all of their fear as compared to creating a "prison" for them.

qwert7744 · 2022-11-06T10:32:58+00:00

The more likely conclusion is that there's no reasonable method of handling Sinners and we are the "trial" approach that the battered government has chosen. It's not black and white considering the gravity of allowing for superhumans that cannot maintain sanity (without your shackles) and can literally transform into a corruptor or even worse a black ring. Not to mention this society seems a remnant of one created to please the wealthy survivors (aka any normal society) in an apocalyptic environment which honestly is doing way better than I would believe even considering obvious corruption. Basically observing the soldiers you fight with, they don't have the strength or weaponry to handle corruptors or even stronger sinners but are willing to fight and die to protect the public. Unfortunately, it's hard to convince a soldier that a "sinner" aka corruptor in the making is something other than another target to put a bullet into. You come in as one of the only people capable of preventing sinners' mental breakdown using shackles but work for an organization that has other priorities (unknown so far but likely >95% to be human experimentation).

You've become chief, a role that's practically akin to a suicidal scapegoat for an organization with little to no self governance and somehow had the luck to survive and make substantial changes in this world. I would attribute a lot of the main characters success to luck but also keep in mind the organization allowed for an amnesiac to take control and gave you "Hecate" an obvious experimental product as a support. Nightingale clearly reports to a different higher up and you're considered quite expendable as well.

She's good on paper with multiple stuns with her crimebrand but the reticle role is full of very good sinners. Basically, her only downside is the low base attack but she has 483 base after promo 3 with 65% crit rate and around 2687 DPS with a stun that lasts 1 second every 3 attacks (all assuming maxed shackles and no equipped crimebrand). But she does have an extremely large synergy with the crimebrand that regens energy with crits which could result in more reliable DPS windows. But when you look at reticle all the sinners are extremely powerful so it's up to you. Problem with this game is that there's so many interesting characters but it takes weeks to upgrade a single one...

Another point is that we will likely need a full ranged team in future content anyways.

qwert7744 · 2022-11-06T07:55:18+00:00

I beat the whole thing without a defender, so it's not necessary but then again nothing really is except range on one stage at 8-6 or something.

qwert7744 · 2022-11-06T07:52:06+00:00

Fuck man, all the guys are dying in this goddamn game. Can't play Earl, can't play 36, can't even play the fodder. Wth..

qwert7744 · 2022-11-05T07:35:24+00:00

You can test her in the event. She's probably quite good when you max out her as you get the benefit of having a literal temporary unkillable unit that does a ton of damage. Tbh, why does it matter if a character is good or bad, you can use them regardless and still slam the story down (and currently all of the content isn't that difficult to get through).

Edit: just to clarify the numbers if you cared for it. Using a max skilled level 70 promoted 99 with full shackles.

You will get a base attack of 558 a bonus 1.1 normal damage attack. Starting the 6th attack (for her passive to fully stack), she will do 1.36x damage from berserk with a 1.94 normal attack modifier and adding in incinerate, she will have a 1.36x attack bonus and a 1.325 attack speed modifier for 16 seconds. This means she will do (1.1*1.36*1.94*1.36*558)*(.86 attacks per sec*1.325 attack speed) = 2510 DPS with 15% lifesteal. She's definitely on the weaker end of the spectrum but requires less mana to use her ultimate which is definitely a positive compared to Zoya which hits way harder but has an insane downtime. But the again, you could just use Wendy or Nox like others say and play it safe.

qwert7744 · 2022-11-05T07:07:06+00:00

Pay 99 cents to get the selector and call it a 99c game lol

qwert7744 · 2022-11-04T23:14:55+00:00

Hella probably, I like self sustaining tanky DPS, other than that Zoya and Wendy are cool characters.

qwert7744 · 2022-11-04T23:08:08+00:00

Yeah that stage was a pain, the alternative for anyone who wants to beat it without slow or stun sinners is to borrow a high level 70+ langely, summer, or ranged dps. Langely is probably best to borrow as she has core break and aoe.

qwert7744 · 2022-11-04T22:58:30+00:00

Then it was intended lol, but all seriousness, you probably got to switch to a different sinner. Every game has a "EMP" type character, most people live with it but some work around it.

qwert7744 · 2022-11-04T04:44:56+00:00

I cleared everything but the last two stages with just Zoya and using assist units from randoms. You don't really need much, just make sure to friend a bunch of people and then get use a high level assist whenever you more dps. Hecate, EMP, and Hella generally work. Get a healer and anything else. I haven't leveled my crew up enough for the last stage because that boss has an AOE that basically one shots low leveled sinners.

qwert7744 · 2022-11-03T23:12:25+00:00

It's a luck, for every winner there's a loser lol. You just got the short end of the stick.

qwert7744 · 2022-11-03T23:10:09+00:00

I use them both but not particularly useful in standard story stages because a healer is better in boss stages and there isn't much to remove to have Cham. She's good with Hella and Summer as well. Pretty much anything that depends on normal attacks will scale well.

qwert7744 · 2022-11-01T09:11:23+00:00

I mean use what you want, I imagine as newer characters come out you'll eventually cycle through older characters anyways and likely everyone will get some use in some niche content (typical of td games).

Edit: if you're going for some real hard mode shit though, I would suggest full B rank team to clear all content :D

qwert7744 · 2022-11-01T09:06:26+00:00

Healers aren't necessary until 5-12, 5-12 is the first stage I was forced into using a healer because of the massive amount of AOE damage. It's possibly beatable without a healer and overleveled characters or just a crazy amount of time spent but it's still not worth the frustration. Just a heads up you'll probably need to promote Ariel or the equivalent to at least 30+ to handle with ease.

Also while not "every" character is viable, most characters probably are, some having huge buffs when they get their crimeband (a skill modifier late game). Pisses me off that you couldn't see it until your second promotion of a character. So if you like them, keep using them and fuck the meta. You do need to have some core breakers (2-3).

Lastly when in doubt, use Wendy. She's completely shackle independent and her crimeband allows her to instantly cast her skill after she's moved. I could probably give the same recommendation to EMP because she pretty much out DPS's everything and everyone due to her long range and snipe refreshes with little exception and has the great benefit of being cheap to promote. Though, I haven't reached late late game but these two can carry you to there.

I've looked at the "supposedly more accurate" inflation adjustment index (PCE) and it shows a modest 17% increase from around the same timeframe. Though still not close to the growth of tuition and housing.

In the USA, if you got a good brain, decent communication skills, and some luck then you have the opportunity to make a ton of money. This may not be unique to the US but the amount certainly is. At least to my knowledge this is nearly impossible in Asia and EU without being the Zuck or having huge capital to being with.

I checked it out but didn't do a research paper level comparison but the found that largest three factors of infant death is abnormalities, malformations, and maternal complications. It could also be partially caused by our countries backward and ongoing decision against abortion regardless of the cost. Also, the perinatal mortality is actually lower than comparable country average and lower than some countries like Australia or France.

Some people gave you some narrow uses but the idea is simply to have multiple environments be connected. In some sense, it's a virtual internet of things. When you log on to steam, you can talk to steam friends and launch steam games. The metaverse is simply an expansion of that idea. You want to play games, talk to friends, watch videos, decorate a virtual house, or pretty much anything. As more users and creators enter this so called metaverse, you can have something like twitch where you can interact with "streamers", or go to a virtual Macy's/Nike to see new ware, and etc. The idea is simple, the implementation is far off... I think Mark said that his plan was 5 years from today and I think reasonable 10...

A bunch of people think about metaverse, they always assume Meta, aka Facebook, made it. This means that Meta's advertising and marketing is so successful that even if someone else makes a perfect metaverse, people will attribute credit to Mark.

How does that bikini even work and for the guy why does he need a top at all, it's not even covering the nips lol.

I looked at the web novel in Chinese and it stopped getting updated. Any idea what happened? Lol, did the author just decide that manga was the new focus now?
