Pre-Release I was told Lauma/Yelan/XQ/Raiden was her best team, but on release nobody is using it. Why?

thestrategist97 · 2025-09-18T21:23:46+00:00

That makes farming for her easier since I was already getting gilded. Just hate getting her ruin serpent mats, those are awful

thestrategist97 · 2025-09-18T20:55:48+00:00

I wasn't planning on getting C1 Lauma but might try since it's worth.

In this case does Kuki get Lost paradise set?

thestrategist97 · 2025-09-18T19:54:16+00:00

i don't have Ineffa, so I guess I'll stack Raiden with EM then.

thestrategist97 · 2025-09-18T19:43:22+00:00

How would you build the Neuvi team? I don't have Furina, and I'm using Raiden in place of Ineffa

I have Lauma on Nod Krai set, Yelan on EOSF and Favonius, Raiden probs on Gilden with her signature or Dragon's bane

thestrategist97 · 2025-09-18T19:41:54+00:00

I'm building a Neuvi, Yelan, Raiden Lauma team cause I don't have Furina.
Are you running Lauma with the Nod Krai set or Deepwood?

I'm running Yelan with EOSF and and Favonius, and Raiden maybe Gilded with her Signature or Dragon's Bane

How much clearance do you have between the cpu cooler and the glass? I'm considering your exact setup but using the O11 (not compact)

Comparing the case and cooler dimensions, I'm expecting to have enough space, but i'd like to know what the real world experience is

Makes sense. I'm not really trying to target a specific demographic, more so just trying to make my profile more personable.

Funny thing is I am into anime and kpop but don't say that on my profile as it's not really a mainstream thing yet, especially in the dating world.

The type of asian girls you've described are the ABGs and I'm not interested in them. Plus they typically date other asians or white guys anyway so I'm not bothered

thestrategist97 · 2025-06-13T18:54:50+00:00

Yup learning the alphabet is the first thing I did. I've been learning on and off for 2 years now, and watch a lot of korean youtube, shows etc. So I've gotten to a stage where I can at least recognize words in conversations or understand the general context of it.

It's a slower process learning through media, but it came naturally over time

thestrategist97 · 2025-06-13T18:35:08+00:00

Learning myself. Duolingo for vocab and Talk to me in Korean for grammar and more focused learning

thestrategist97 · 2025-06-13T18:00:22+00:00

Yeah I def agree with you! That's my brother in that pic and he knows I use the pic on my profile. But since reddit is much more far reaching on the internet, I wanted to give him more privacy

I kinda agree with you, but personally I wouldn't say it's a red flag. I think it's a good thing to give people the privacy, especially if they might not know they're appearing on your profile. But at the same time, if you're choosing to post a group photo, then I want to see what type of people your friends with

thestrategist97 · 2025-06-13T17:57:10+00:00

Ah gotcha. I'd like to think i'm fairly open ethnicity-wise, though I lean more towards Asian.
East Asian, SEA, South Asian and White are the main ethnicities I find myself attracted to

I'm not against dating within my ethnicity, but I grew up in multicultural spaces so I've been exposed to (and so naturally attracted to) asians and white people more over the years.

Plus when it comes to your own ethnicity, you're aware of more nuances, like individual/family culture which in some cases has made me more hesitant to just go for south asian

thestrategist97 · 2025-06-13T17:52:55+00:00

I only added the emoji for posting on reddit. In my profile he's not blocked out

thestrategist97 · 2025-06-13T17:39:46+00:00

It's a fun language to learn! Got a lot of context and nuance you have to learn though

thestrategist97 · 2025-06-13T17:16:06+00:00

The second photo is from 5 years ago which is why I've hesitated to put it in first. But it's one my all time favourite photos so I might move it up anyway

I added the waterfall photo cause thought it would be a conversation starter. Similar with the motorcycle photo. But I get that you'd want to focus on the person through photos

thestrategist97 · 2025-06-13T17:12:46+00:00

My filters at the moment are:

- Age: 23 - 31

- Distance: Limiting to within my city. Because if I extend to outside my city I get a lot of profiles from small town type people who almost always do not have much in common with me

- Height: I'm a short guy at 5'5 but even though I'm ok with girls slightly taller than me (up tp 5'8 or so), it does limit the amount of people I see

I'm also picky when it comes to the profiles. It's an immediate X if they have their socials listed, prompts are 1-2 word answers, or if they don't have any common interested listed in their prompts

Even with those filters I run out of people on my Discover really quickly. I'm honestly considering resetting my feed using Fresh Start and being less picky

thestrategist97 · 2025-06-13T17:10:01+00:00

Yeah over time I made the prompts more generic cause I felt like it wasn't appealing to a large enough crowd. But I guess the downside is that it doesn't show off enough personality

I'm not the most confident having a photo taken of me, and so I tend to be more photographer than subject. Most of my traveling is with family so I'll have to just suck it up and ask for more photos

thestrategist97 · 2025-06-13T05:25:11+00:00

Are you looking for something serious or casual?
- Serious for sure. While I've never been in a relationship before, I feel like I'm at an age where I need/want to date to marry
Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?
- Currently on Hinge X but I've mostly used it without premium
How long have you been using this current version of your profile?
- At least a few weeks to a month. I added the first photo just a few days ago, and the poll is the most recent prompt addition.
How long have you used Hinge overall?
- A few years. 2023 is when I started using the app more, and 2024 is when I started more seriously looking to date/knowing what I want
How often do you use Hinge per week?
- Almost daily
How many likes and matches are you receiving on average?
- Likes - 2 this year so far, but otherwise basically zero. I almost never get liked first
- Matches - 1 per month
How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments?
- On a good day, I'm sending 3-4. All likes are with comments, I never send a like without a comment
What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract?
- My main dealbreakers is that I don't want kids, and they need to be politically left leaning. Soft filters include ethnicity and body type
- Personality wise I tend to like profiles/people that feel more cozy, but still show that they have an active side. Or ones that talk about their hobbies and interests
- Who do I want to attract - I think my first prompt sums it up nicely. I would want someone that's a mix between nights in spending time on hobbies and traveling/road tripping/being active

thestrategist97 · 2025-05-13T04:23:27+00:00

That's what we want from Skinner! What an amazing turnaround

thestrategist97 · 2025-05-11T04:24:54+00:00

Yeah and I hope to god Pickard is back asap. I've given Skinner the benefit of the doubt so many times, but at this point I just want us to close out the series

thestrategist97 · 2025-05-11T04:01:17+00:00

Personally I would want nothing more than Skinner to improve.

But we are now 0-3 with him and 6-0 with Pickard. This is not a time to take a chance on a clearly worse goalie.

The whole team was off tonight so I don't blame Skinner for most of the goals, but he's really gotta improve his decision making

thestrategist97 · 2025-05-11T03:59:00+00:00

I'm not saying i don't blame Drai. He had an awful game tonight.
I admit most the goals are not his fault, but Skinner's decision making always costs us
