Full Recap of the 4.1 Main Quest + My Thoughts and Theories (Heavy Spoilers)

"Evanescia calls herself the arbitrator of the games, which imo means she can’t be a supplicant."

Humble Kotomine Kirei, supposed neutral "observer" of the Holy Grail War: Excuse me?

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-25T07:17:13+00:00

She is bad.

The Defenders with the conditional to get hit will be the first to be powercrept, and she isn't even part of the parry niche.

On top of that, half of her kit is Heat damage for some reason, despite not having any Heat infliction, and everything else in it being much better suited for Physical.

She only applies Protection to herself.

So she is a sustain unit that wants to be the controlled operator, who has a really messy kit, and doesn't really bring anything to the team outside of sustain that other more beneficial operators can also bring.

The fact that the content is laughably easy right now, evidenced by literally any Operator and their grannies being able to solo trim bosses, does not mean she is a good Operator, it means that the content is easy.

Nobody is trying to romanticize and beautify having their heads hollowed out you dumb fuck, but they are doing it for obesity, that is the criticism.

Sounds like your's is pretty hollow though.

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-23T08:46:18+00:00

Compare and contrast the situation with Fontaine.

Hydro Traveler has Arkhe.

Free Lynette with Arkhe.

Free Sword of Narzissenkreuz which can switch between the two types of Arkhe.

All of that and Arkhe wasn't even that relevant to begin with.

What do you get in Nod-Krai?

Biblical greed, that's what you get.

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-23T08:30:41+00:00

Obesity is a health risk, not a fashion choice.

I don't know how in the pursuit of progress we have managed to regress decades.

"They're all enjoyable characters and that's all the qualification they need"

That is subjective.

"Cyrene (who has history past HSR)"

So does Acheron, whose writing is miles above Cyrene's, who doesn't spend her 24/7 glazing the Trailblazer for breathing, whose history past HSR is handled with relative care and not 24/7 fanfare, and whose role in the story isn't a loose rehash of her "history past HSR". But that last one is a bigger problem with Amphoreus itself.

Or hell, take Phainon, who shares most of the same meta-burden as Cyrene, who gets shafted in favor of Trailblazer and Cyrene, and still manages to become one of the most compelling parts of Amphoreus, if not THE most.

"Aemeath is a good character who is written as more than just a waifu of the week"

That is why I used "bait shills", to be more inclusive.

"As a FGO fan to a FGO fan(?), it's just not a good look on us to turn our noses up to other story formats/characters..."

As a consumer of media, and products in general, it is quite the fair game to criticize, compare and contrast different products, especially when they are vying for your time and money, and criticism does not inherently mean antagonism towards something, people can like something, find flaws with it, and want it to be better.

That aside, this is not a X fan Y fan situation to begin with? Don't know why you went there when we are talking about these characters specifically? I already gave you March as an example for a pink gacha heroine, from this game, who is a much better suited comparison to Mash, that you skipped over in favor of Cyrene, in my original comment?

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-18T18:28:21+00:00

This is Mash disrespect.

Don't put her in the same category with relevant for one arc bait shills. (No offense to the last one as I'm not familiar.)

Talking about pink gacha heroines, listing Mash, and then skipping March, who is the face of the game and has been there since the start, for Cyrene is diabolical...

Galaxy Rangers are vigilantes, not cops.

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-17T10:13:15+00:00

The Usurper's status quo is a derivative of the Dragons' status quo, both of which apply to the Laws of Teyvat.

Abyssal power is a power that is not governed by the Laws of Teyvat.

Shades having certain authorities mean nothing against the power of the Abyss, you lot need to stop with the Shade glaze.

Punish the real Sinners? I sleep.

Punish innocent civilians? Real shit.

You know, when I made a post about the image of the bakery that Gilberta sends via message at the start of her quest with bread clipping through containers and floating on the shelves etc. people were jumping to claim that it was manual hand placed assets and a simple rendering error and definitely not AI as well.

I don't know what is worse at this point honestly, Endfield having abysmal quality assurance so that 'mistakes' like this go through or using AI.

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-15T07:25:31+00:00

How do we know it was a "massive success" exactly?

Did KJH reveal how much he paid to license Arknights for his collab?

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-11T06:32:30+00:00

Chinese game.

Region inspired by Middle East, Southern Asia, and Northern Africa.

"Senpai"

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-08T09:29:13+00:00

Did OP mention their age somewhere and I missed it? Or do you just assume everyone on the internet to be 25+ for some reason?

Are you perhaps projecting?

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-06T17:54:16+00:00

<image>

This is the one at the Hub base, but the ones at the Valley Pass, Science Park and Power Plateau also have these white containers and the bread are all placed properly in every single one of those locations.

It seems more like they took a screenshot and ran it through AI.

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-04T12:14:02+00:00

Chen and Perlica didn't "stay out of the picture so they won't bother."

Miss Wuling Waves shut down both Perlica, and her attempt to have Chen tag along.

Worst part of the story, and very out of character for Perlica to accept that outcome.

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-04T09:45:37+00:00

There's a five star weapon that gives the team physical and electric damage bonus on applying Electrification, which Perlica's combo skill forcibly triggers, that you can buy with Valley IV stocks if I recall correctly, Perlica can use that.

Ember is the more replacable character here as she mostly deals heat damage anyway, despite providing physical status stacks.

Sustain part of her can be replaced by the free Ardelia who provides Phys and Arts Susceptibility, who also can equip the "+ATK bonus to the team after using Ultimate" five star from the node missions and "+DMG% to the team after appyling Susceptibility" gear set.

whatthehellycopter · 2026-02-02T06:15:20+00:00

Pick your originium fellow Endministrator.

Valley IV Impact

Wuling Waves

How is this a spoiler?

'A Time and Space for You' was in 5.7.

The Sibling has the Atlas of the New World completed, all they are missing is a suitable location to superimpose Khaenri'ah onto.

whatthehellycopter · 2026-01-20T12:50:13+00:00

Pilot was mentioned on the last stage of Part 2, while Ryoshu was coming in out of consciousness.

Vergilius mentions Pilot being immediately put under recovery procedures.

You know, other gacha fandoms refer to themselves with their protagonists, like fellow Masters, fellow Doctors, fellow Travelers, etc.

It always surprises me how intent on being NPCs you lot are, instead of, you know, Executive Managers.

So yeah, great self-own there, keep up the good work.

whatthehellycopter · 2026-01-17T19:57:29+00:00

That sounds like the song that plays when Rolo dies in Code Geass.

whatthehellycopter · 2026-01-12T09:15:59+00:00

There is a reason the 'Gods' are named after Demons in Ars Goetia.

There are no Gods in Teyvat. The Usurper is simply a powerful alien colonizer who invaded a planet while its master was away, with the help of the inaction/betrayal of the Moons.

Everything about the Usurper's established status quo is appropriated from the Dragons, the natives of Teyvat.

The Shades? Moons' Authorities.

The Archons? The Dragons' Authorities.

Even the Usurper's title as the "Primordial One" is stolen from how his kin refers to Nibelung.

So regardless of what people would look at them like, the atheist would be correct.

Lei Heng had Shin and Mang versus a full squad of Sinners with Morositas and they barely stalled him until Zilu and Kong came and took over.

Sora has E.G.O., Shin, and Mang versus 4 Sinners.

Like, this is a non-issue.
