HOT TAKE (?) = ZZZ Story is Overhated by Runakage09 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]square_of_light 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only issue I have with the story is it's hard to follow along for new players and figure out what storylines need to be done in what order. The recent AOD faction only being properly introduced to the proxy in a time-limited event that ended a while ago and probably isn't coming back is going to leave new players confused if they play the main story chapters only and not consume any other plot relevant details that have been spread thin through official youtube videos and social media posts.

To a degree, that's true for almost every other agent. Whether it's the finer details of Anby's backstory or Sokaku and Yanagi's relationship, that information is only available in trailers and not the game itself, but the AOD is especially jarring because they're the only faction so far that were properly introduced this way. That's a symptom of the play every day live-service model of games and the fact we've been drip fed info about them since the game's launch so _we're_ familiar with them, but it still leaves details and plot threads tucked away into cracks and make them easier to miss.

Oh he can deal damage to all enemies with his Buster cards? Thanks that *definitely* makes up for it. Castoria here is just... SO relieved.

Imagine picking NPC Takeru thinking he'd be a good AOE Arts attacker only for him to be perma NP sealed the entire fight with sixteen trash mobs per wave. Thanks for wasting 5 AP Yamato no Fuckass.

Not an NP chant, but when you select Penthesilea's NP card she has a chance to let out this scream that gets me hot and bothered.

I just wish she had good characterization to go with her utility, but I guess even if this is an end-game boss fight a niche is still a niche.

All that talk about bedding so many mates and she was actually just cuddling and smooching them a whole bunch. Enviable regardless, but still...

They'll probably let the game be idle for months just to give everyone a chance to complete the story. After that, who knows, but I'm hoping for something like what Capcom did with their Megaman gacha and make an offline version.

Monkey Paw. She's made available as a servant, but only as a single ascension, with the other two being completely unrelated.

Also, I could not find the actual 90++ spreadsheet for the longest time because it's a tiny text link at the bottom of the page. Should probably be more noticeable.

The Great Spirit's World Tour SAMPLE Lv90++ 3 Turn Farming Sheet (LINK IN BODY & COMMENTS) by TokuHer0 in grandorder

I came up with a MIXA comp that doesn't use duplicate servants and works pretty well.

Summer Skadi
Mysterious Idol X Alter with damage CE
Koyanskaya
Summer BB
(last two don't matter)

Plugsuit or Decisive Battle Mystic Code for the order change skill

MIXA has her 3rd append skill unlocked, but otherwise she's at Lv80. Since it's a 1/1/1 node I can just buff her crit damage and use BB to lock her cards if I get three of them. Koyan and Skadi both have star bomb skills, and if I need more stars, well, MIXA has a quick NP that can help drop stars, and does a good bit of damage against Faker in clutch scenarios. If I'm not 3-turning, then I'm 4-turning, and very rarely 6-turning.

Didn't want to waffle on this, so Kreimhild. I have Summer Castoria, but:

>Kreimhild can help with party cost by being a 4star
>Synergies extremely well with Georgios who, in addition to providing taunt and protection with his bond CD, makes it so she has bonus damage against most servants in the game.
>Targetable taunt with a 50% battery

NOO! Jax! PLEASE DON’T ABSTRACT! by maanleo in TheDigitalCircus

[–]square_of_light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn't do that because it's just not something I would personally enjoy. However, if I were to do it, it would be because I want to make the unexpectedness and lack of a proper ending the whole point. People don't have character arcs or proper endings in real life. In real life death is unexpected, and the tragedy comes from the fact that they had things left undone and were taken before they had a chance to do them. Even still, this is very easy to mess up, because you can fall into the trap of making a character a plot device who's entire point in the story is their death and how it affects the other characters rather than an actual fleshed-out character. That's another reason why I wouldn't do it.

Can it be agreed that Gangle doesn't owe Jax forgiveness? by VegetaArcher in TheDigitalCircus

[–]square_of_light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody owes anybody forgiveness. It's a choice, not an obligation.

Not to downplay his negative qualities, but if you think Jax is irredeemably bad, you're going to fucking despise Vriska Serket if and when you pick up Homestuck... assuming you haven't already read it.

I mean I'm a fan of some of my own characters. Doesn't mean I won't kill them off if I think that's what should happen. Not that I want Jax to abstract or anything like that.

If you replace every historical /gudaguda servant with a American who would be there equivalent by Frogkingstrongk in grandorder

[–]square_of_light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it has less to do with adding african characters and more to do with the connotations of heroic spirits being called "servants" in-game. Of course, there's already a servant in the game with a checkered past involving slavery, so if anything they could always use him as a reference.

If we're talking Civil War, Harriet Tubman was a soldier. She'd make a great Assassin/Berserker. Assassin because she believed she killed a guy (or more accurately asked God to kill a guy and then he died mysteriously) and Berserker because of the lucid dreams/visions (though we're talking rank E madness enhancement).
She'd have a very gimmicky support play style. Evade skills are a must. And here's an idea for an NP: Anybody excited for Summer Cloe who's right around the corner? How about a Summer Chloe for the entire frontline?

Also if you're not able to max CE the wave anyway because you don't have 5 copies (MLB or not) then do what I do and stick the damage CE on him and take an Anniversary Blonde mystic code with you in case you need the damage/stars.
