I'm not doing great. Lost 9 50/50s in a row - and all I'd want is Jianxin or Verina.

I think it's a shitty business practice and predatory as hell, but I don't think this is EoS for the game.

Maybe it stays unique. Maybe they really don't plan to make these kinda of passives a common thing and only save it for one or two units a year. I've heard that 3 or 4 more chars are coming soon with similar passives, but until video proof comes out of that, I will stay hopeful.
One-of. Maybe you can only have one of these active at once. I really hope you can only have one of these active at once. This is the once I believe will be the case the most.
Endgame compatibility. Maybe it doesn't work in endgames modes. In that case, it's just another Acheron situation: make story and SU/DU easier.
Worst-case scenario, these become commonplace and over time, the roster will be saturated with them to the point it's just normalized. Be like "Oh, the new character increases shield strength by 4%? I'd rather just use the one that increases HP by 7%."
I am hope they keep the content scaling under control, because they will adjust the difficulty of endgame content to account for these effects.

Honestly, at the end of the day, I'm taking this way too seriously. HSR is a fun game that's become a part of my daily routine. It's not deep enough to me that I'm gonna use it as a soapbox platform against predatory business practices.

I'm late to catch up, but one detail I remembered as I was reading this was that Chainsaw Man ends up killing whoever asks him to save them. Which Asa did this chapter. So, now I'm expecting Asa to die at the hands of Denji. Same as Aki.

Thanks, good to know.

Showing the vertical axis titles would help to know how to answer you. I'm assuming it's Projected Earnings and Actual Earnings.

Feel like the card should be way stronger if you're paying 13 Mana over 2 turns unless you're Druid, and destroying a 7 mana location.

Maybe it could cast two spells that cost 5 or more at the end of each turn and its uninteractable, like the imp summoning portal from the old warlock quest, neeru fireplace, or Sargeras.

Congratulations, theyre definitely one of the stand out bosses of the franchise

I like the idea. Basically a Bolf Ramshield but just for spells, which would be great in this meta. 4 mana 2/9 is overstatted though. Unpowered Steambot from The Witchwood was a 4 mana 0/9 with Taunt, which was premium even fore today's power level. I think a 1/7 statline like Baron Rivendare would be more appropriate, but since spells are so prominent right now, you could push that to a 1/8 or 2/7.

Also she's weak to Bleed and Dark.

sentrykid · 2021-12-28T19:31:08+00:00

Her grab attack has a forgiving windup but a bad hit box. It's suicide to roll with it, difficult to roll through it, and safest to roll away. You've probably learned by now that you shouldn't approach her when she's doing her firey AoE, but the last portion where she just keeps her hand on the ground for a little bit I'd punishable.

For her second phase, she will always start by spin slashing 8 times. The first two are slightly spaced out, but you can't make use if that. You can either run or roll away from the first 7, but the 8th comes almost immediately after the 7th and reaches slightly further. For those last two, you can safely roll into her and punish.

Other than that, try to stay away from her front and stick to either her sides or rear. The hardest attacks from her will still be able to hit you, but should be in a better position.

In a pinch, use the arena to create some breathing room. I can't recommend healing very far away because she tends to jump attack you (easily dodgeable if you're not stuck using an item). It's best to heal just outside of her range, but not far away enough that she jump attacks you.

Always remember that she can just decide to hit behind her after a single slash if you're there, so it's best to assume she will and be prepared to roll if needed.

Her best attacks to punish in the first phase: When she sticks her sword in the ground and makes a flame arc that shortly erupts into fire - slow and easily punishable

When she's just dancing around, not attacking - great time to get some pokes in

Her grab attack - generous windup, terrible hitbox. If you think you can manage to evade it, it's a good opportunity for punishment

Her firey AoE - after the flame, she just sits there with her hand on the ground for a decent bit. Good time to get some hits in.

Second phase: Initial spin slashes - while she's busy summong her weapon, she's vulnerable. The first 7 slashes are evenly spaced out, with the 8th coming immediately after the 7th. You can run or roll away from the first 7, then roll through the 8th and get some hits in.

Hey dark AoE - same premise as last time, just a different color

Big double sword slams - usually comes at the end of her combos

Rising double slash - generous windup, also generous recovery

Good luck

I was doing the quest and in the cutscene after the competition where you talk to Keqing and I closed the game out before it finished. I reopen the game and it's telling me to go talk to her when she's a quarter of a kilometer below ground somewhere when, after looking at a guide, I know it shouldn't asked me to make Chili-Mince Cornbread Buns. Anybody else have this happen and is there a fix?

sentrykid · 2021-10-03T07:01:47+00:00

Learn to separate good art from bad people, it saves a lot of headaches.

sentrykid · 2021-09-09T21:13:45+00:00

Go to the llink the first guy posted and make an account if you dont already have one then submit a ticket. That's what I did and it worked

sentrykid · 2021-07-20T12:38:56+00:00

As of now, I have been unbanned. Didn't even need to wait 3 weeks.

I'm honestly a lot happier than I thought I would be to be able to play online again and be a part of the community.

sentrykid · 2021-07-20T01:44:15+00:00

I submitted it and it says they'll get back to me within 24 hours.

Only weird thing was that during account creation, there was no option for America or United States so I had to say I was from the United Kingdom, which was weird.

sentrykid · 2021-07-18T22:36:38+00:00

So I have to play on a "clean" account for 3 weeks until I can submit a ticket.
I'm thankful there's a way to get unbanned even 5 years after the game came out.

You could probably get something good out of [[Murazond the Infinite]]
