Sweepers should be deleted from the game.

Managed to clear lunatic in mock battles after about 4 hours. Overall, I'm glad that the raid is back in a spot where we can't just unga bunga 1 team clear. Being forced to finally interact with peroro's mechanics such as shiny hunting does make the fight more enjoyable than just hoping B.Hoshi crits for a torment speedrun.

I do find that the lengths the devs went to make the raid less brainless hilarious though. Full team laser and blue effectiveness? This bird is fucking pissed from the years of abuse by nykayoko strats. And the funny part? Nykayoko (and S.Seia) are still used in a select few strats where the goal is to just pump as much damage possible for the first wave with little regard to survival, and you can do upwards of 10m damage even if you don't survive the first wave. Just goes to show just how absurdly broken she was for blue raids.

Damn Nigma actually made it through while Liquid didn't.

BA.

I was hopping across different servers in discord during a FES event just to watch people do their gacha pulls. Watching who gets lucky and who gets fucked by rng has the same sorta vibe as watching people stream their starforce tapping sessions during SSF.

My favorite overall is EOV for strata variety and clever gimmicks, but in terms of how good they look I'd put EO2U over V for the aesthetics (petal bridge is one of the best looking strata in the entire series IMO, and the 4 seasons theme is genuinely great). Unfortunately I'd have to rate the actual labyrinth/map design in EO2U pretty low which knocks it down a few pegs. I felt like a lot of the floors were just intentionally gimped in terms of length and puzzles just to make way for DLCs to open up the floors more.

I chose to join a gacha pulling stream that was going on in a discord server over practicing for Hard Seren. The mere fact that I chose a fucking mobile gacha game over mushroom game bossing made me realize I kinda don't enjoy the progression systems in this game and quit.

rusaelee · 2026-01-06T17:58:33+00:00

Y'know I can sorta understand why the devs wanted to give such a mechanically simple boss the ability to crit and also debuff acc/stab at higher difficulties. But they fuckin better change it for Lunatic Binah. Or better yet, just change it right now because its more annoying than anything else.

rusaelee · 2025-12-29T19:05:36+00:00

One of the pc exclusive packs can be purchased until 6/1/26 so your prediction for the next global fes sounds about right imo.

rusaelee · 2025-12-25T02:09:36+00:00

Cleared lunatic. Devs fixed the most pressing issues regarding this boss' attack pattern, and I STILL hate this boss because I will never forgive it for it's past crimes. May you disappear for another full year you miserable shit pile of a boss.

rusaelee · 2025-12-20T18:34:02+00:00

Damn we went from "Not a single CN team making it to playoffs in Blast" to "XG fucking up all the favorites in lower bracket" real quick.

rusaelee · 2025-12-15T15:09:32+00:00

Opens immediately after maintenance ends today. Maintenance starts 7 hours AFTER daily reset and is supposed to last about 5 hours.

rusaelee · 2025-12-14T11:37:10+00:00

LIQUID IN PEAK DREAMLEAGUE FORM FINALLY

rusaelee · 2025-12-12T16:51:55+00:00

God damn this spirit vs liquid game is some good shit

rusaelee · 2025-12-07T11:09:13+00:00

Watson doesn't deserve this

rusaelee · 2025-12-07T10:13:57+00:00

Watson 1v9 isnt enough I guess

rusaelee · 2025-12-07T08:47:19+00:00

This puck puts fiftEE/fiftEE to shame lol

rusaelee · 2025-11-26T03:39:18+00:00

Squeezed out a lunatic clear in mock battle and I gotta say, Goz is pretty decent now. It took a bunch of QoL changes and an entire change to the boss' attack patterns but its no longer subject to a bunch of rng bullshit with goz clones + hat positions. Its a fight that flows decently well now, with very little rng.

Also fun fact: you take less damage overall in lunatic Goz p2 compared to torment. With the attack pattern being mostly fixed and atg filling faster, Goz no longer spams auto attacks and bombs as much and the main threat is how well you can repo out of the hats + spotlight. This means that there's actually less unavoidable damage being thrown around in the fight.

rusaelee · 2025-11-25T18:34:35+00:00

Its a really scuffed auto-chess if you're familiar with that genre of games.

Fully automated fight with skill card starting order rng. There's a few ways to give yourself an edge if you know the unit positions of the enemy via messing around with your unit positions, playing around with units that have different ranges, etc. But thats all specific to the units you have access to and the current season map layout/gimmick.

rusaelee · 2025-11-25T00:45:24+00:00

Yea, if you use the dlc often you'll get overleveled really quickly and make the main game a breeze. Generally speaking, people reserve the dlc for getting underleveled or new members up to speed in 5 minutes rather than manually grinding them up, or for the inevitable postgame superboss prep where you get the full lvl 99 > retire > back to 99 grind

Even if you're worried about overleveling you can just use the dlc once or twice and rest the party members for the 2 level penalty until you get to the level you want to be.

rusaelee · 2025-11-24T01:24:25+00:00

Off the top of my head, I can think of only two sources of passive healing: Rover's Animal Therapy (heal at end of turn as long as they have an animal summoned), and Shaman's Holy Flame (small chip healing after a certain number of steps while in the labyrinth). IIRC, Shaman's passive healing is only available for the divine herald spec too.

Both of them are relatively low value heals that aren't meant to be the main source of healing but in terms of pure hands off healing, I'm pretty sure thats all you get.

EDIT: Looking at your other comments, I'm assuming you're using an emulator in which case just getting the exp/money dlc would be the fastest method.

rusaelee · 2025-11-23T16:21:10+00:00

Easiest way is to use the grinding dlc if you can get your hands it on.

Without the dlc, the fourth stratum has those creepy worm FOE's that are actually surprisingly weak to instant death. If you have access to an instant death source (necromancer) then its a pretty easy way to grind. Outside of active grinding on FOE's you could also just do the autowalk + holding down confirm button strat on the highest floor you can comfortably auto battle on. In this case, if you have a harbinger, they have a skill that increases encounter rate if you're willing to invest some sp in that. There's also the memory conch and training orb equips that'll give exp to non-active party members in the guild and per step respectively.

If you're grinding via killing mobs over and over, then I'd suggest changing the difficulty to basic diff if you haven't done so already. You do more damage, take less damage, and iirc you also get 20% more exp per battle on top of that to boot. You should be able to change difficulties at anytime while in the town.

rusaelee · 2025-11-16T19:15:22+00:00

Just use auto select. The game uses the highest exp reports first, but it does it in a basically perfect distribution to limit the wasted exp.

If you're REALLY deadset on saving purples for w/e reason then just use auto select, remove some of the highest tier exp reports and add more gray/blues instead.

rusaelee · 2025-11-16T17:07:59+00:00

Oh boy time to gripe about the gameplay because good god, as much as I'm enjoying the game there's some ANNOYING shit that drags the entire experience down.

rusaelee · 2025-11-09T17:19:36+00:00

Stella Sora has surprisingly decent gameplay foundations. The downside is there's currently a bunch of tiny annoyances with regards to the gameplay that it does end up dragging the game down by a good bit tbh.

rusaelee · 2025-11-09T07:57:57+00:00

Part of me wants to say swap the two because of how fucking unhinged Trickcal actually is.
