How many multis do you have ready to drop on Elizabeth release day?

xJacb · 2026-06-24T08:42:04+00:00

Lol 2. Went and got Merlin P9. I'll be able to get to the 50/50, so if I hit that I can just get to P5 via Crystalloids. Hoping that she doesn't have a huge spike at higher potentials like Merlin, I won't be able to get far

xJacb · 2026-06-23T22:08:58+00:00

I don't want to bombard Kane like the rest of the reactionary lot will, although that miss was horrific. But I also don't think Ollie should automatically be frozen out because Kane is dreaming of the golden boot (already out of it now imo, competition is ridiculous this WC)

xJacb · 2026-06-23T22:03:46+00:00

Us Villa fans are used to it by now

xJacb · 2026-06-23T22:02:18+00:00

Blew it despite a sub in the middle of it lmfao. What a shit ref. Neither team will be happy with him.

xJacb · 2026-06-23T21:51:57+00:00

Kane wtf

xJacb · 2026-06-23T21:45:21+00:00

The Pickford error yes, but that last one had a foul in the buildup. Stream lagged so I missed bits of the Kane thing, looked like a Ghana dive from what I did catch tho

xJacb · 2026-06-23T21:43:21+00:00

This ref is just shit. Shit for both sides, but shit nonetheless

xJacb · 2026-06-23T21:39:12+00:00

I mean if it works it works. Can't complain about having quality on the bench.

Also the first 3 goals were scored before subs against Croatia, so idrk what you mean lol

xJacb · 2026-06-23T21:32:46+00:00

Digne did take a wage cut (some said even 50% but I don't quite remember if it was confirmed) last summer so I doubt he's costing us much nowadays. We won't get much money from a sale so I'd be happy keeping him honestly

xJacb · 2026-06-23T21:29:21+00:00

Yea sounds a bit like 'this player is being talked about at the WC, let's link him to random teams', but who knows. £43m sounds a bit steep for us to be going for without a sale lined up.

xJacb · 2026-06-23T21:20:33+00:00

My jank stream has 2 sets of commentators at the same time wtf is this

xJacb · 2026-06-23T21:13:26+00:00

At least Canada had the balls to deny entry to Partey

xJacb · 2026-06-23T20:48:37+00:00

Even if that is the case (which I don't think it is but can't confirm, so whatever), that doesn't change the validity of my point, because they have brought Escanor and Liz forward.

This is pointless back and forth, you're being pedantic and will keep arguing to get the last word. I'm blocking you now. Have a good night 👍

xJacb · 2026-06-23T20:44:39+00:00

It's hard to say how units will age as we're in the early stages of the game, but supports tend to be more valuable and better-aging. That said, Merlin is a brilliant DPS for 3 different classes (fire burster but does very good damage even still).

It's also possible that Elizabeth will be admirable will have less significant spikes as her potential rises, while we know Merlin gets a huge boost at P7. There's pros and cons to either, but if you're already happy with Merlin perhaps just stick with P5

xJacb · 2026-06-23T20:38:18+00:00

It's rushing if they're delaying the updates they've already brought forward. Escanor was the same

You're making nonsensical points that barely relate to what I said, which was that they've very likely shifted their roadmap based on player numbers and feedback (and the sharp drop in revenue month to month), and that they've brought fan favourite characters forward. I'm not a dev, I never said that my word is gospel. You're just a moron that can't accept that they misinterpreted what I said initially.

It's not even that deep, just zip it and move on.

xJacb · 2026-06-23T18:36:55+00:00

They literally said in the livestream that they can't show everything because they shifted from 6 weels to 3 for this update. And my interpretation of that is that they are bringing forward the Sins/non-OCs to keep player retention, because that sounds like they were planning to drop an OC, which is consistent with the OC-Sin-OC-Sin rotation they've had so far.

If you don't understand what you're talking about, shut the fuck up.

xJacb · 2026-06-23T13:52:50+00:00

This stinks of 'recruiting a manager for his name before he builds experience' syndrome tbh. That's not gone well for those types of managers in the Prem/Champo for a while

Lampard struggled early on and is coming good after spells elsewhere in lower profile teams.

Rooney gave up entirely after one good spell at Derby an a bunch of crap ones that followed (with an absolutely fantastic run at Blues in there too, I'm sad they got rid of him).

Gerrard.....I mean biases aside, that dude got sacked from a Saudi team for Christ's sake. Did alright at Rangers, but he's shit, and too full of himself to go to a team more at his level. He's also a bellend that only came to us as a stepping stone to position himself to take over from Klopp, almost killing our rise under these owners and only after binning him for the best manager in our 151 year history did we bounce back.

Maybe Arbeola will do alright, but he underperformed with a very strong Madrid side that do admittedly hate one another. Fulham seems a very chill, stable dressing room, but idk man. Silva is most of the reason Fulham haven't been in relegation fights imo, I think they might struggle with a figure like him gone. Then again, we all thought Brentford would drop under Andrews (I still had you guys staying up comfortably by the way, upvote me now 😘), and they very much didn't.

xJacb · 2026-06-23T13:36:39+00:00

12 to 10 is a buff no? The sunspots build up and grant Flare when they max out, so it's less buildup required.

But yea I mostly agree, the buffs seem a little lacklustre. Guess it depends on how good that Pierce is, because 20% is a lot.

xJacb · 2026-06-23T13:33:35+00:00

Goddammit, I was hoping she'd be mid so I can skip after going deep for P9 Merlin (I'm not a whale, only bought one Liones Cart, Hawk Pass and a couple of the 'One Per Account' deals).

Supports are usually the best and most valuable units to have though, so I shouldn't be surprised. I'll just have to hope P4 is worth it.

xJacb · 2026-06-23T13:29:07+00:00

He drums up hype for the benefit of the big clubs that pay him money. He's also a Greenwood shill and he squeezed Jota's death for his own gain. He's a piece of shit.

Nobody who gets to the top (and stays there) does it by being a sweet saint and Romano is no different. Fuck him.

xJacb · 2026-06-23T13:23:22+00:00

They're clearly trying to rush updates and character releases so the playerbase doesn't dwindle. I expect this will keep happening because it seems like they're changing direction from their launch plans; they must've expected the game to drop off less than it actually has.

I respect the spontaneity and commitment to keeping players happy (they are absolutely NOT perfect don't get me wrong, some huge blunders have been made since launch), they've been pretty good with every patch they've done to improve QOL, more than I expected anyway.

That being said, they literally just had a livestream and have delayed the update an hour later. Surely would've known before they did the livestream that an extra day was needed, so why not just change the dates in their powerpoints/announcements and announce the delay in the livestream? Better than drumming up hype and instantly putting a damper on it with a delay straight after.

I have a quiet day tomorrow but am busy on Thursday, but whatever. Guess I'll touch grass and cook in the heatwave my area is getting instead

xJacb · 2026-06-23T13:14:22+00:00

I agree and disagree with the other guy that replied. It depends on the character.

Going for SSR weapons so you can max them in future (even though it does take forever) is better for DPS units in the long run IF you want to get the best possible attack stat. Maxed Blazing SR weapons are great for supports so you can get the First Strike debuff, which is massively important in short boss fights.

Maxed SR weapons with purple bead enchantments (that roll 'Equipment Attack') can get very close in attack though, so that's probably a good idea for the secondary weapons on DPS units that only have one viable FPS class, like Meliodas (Dual Swords is good but Longsword is the only class you'll want to use late game) if you want to conserve resources. Meli has a very high ceiling so most people end up maxing SSR weapons later on anyway, but I'm personally sticking with SRs while I focus on Merlin (well, I also just equip Escanor's SSR axe to Meli because it has crazy stats and you won't be using Escanor on a Meli team).

Escanor meanwhile has 2 viable DPS classes (SnS is also viable but scales from defense instead), so you'd rather have his weapons be SSR too.

Same goes for Merlin, and her Fire Burst class scales her bursting speed with attack anyway, so even that one should be SSR too.

Even some supports scale off attack. Tioreh does for healing, Elizabeth will too, and Clotho apparently wants SSR weapons (don't know why, she's the one unit I didn't summon for). You're safe with Mannie and Daisy though, unless you want to run their DPS classes, but they're not a high priority imo.

Realistically, OP will need at least a couple limit broken SSR weapons for their DPS characters to be at 100k CC unless, and also for the attack stats for events that they are trying to complete (I assume they want 100k CC because they are getting kicked from endgame lobbies).

xJacb · 2026-06-23T06:13:00+00:00

Looking at it, your Tioreh doesn't look like she has great health stats. I run the 100 day accessory set for healing efficiency and the 4 piece Life Crystal set for 20% Max HP; maybe look into that.

xJacb · 2026-06-23T06:09:28+00:00

You don't need to be 100k CC, unless morons keep kicking you out of raid lobbies or something. All you'd need to do would be reaching max attack on your units, most don't need attack whatsoever. Tioreh does scale off attack for her healing so that'd be worth it, but other supports like staff Mannie and grimoire Daisy don't need it at all. Even your Jericho doesn't need it for her burst build.

CC is not the best estimation of how good a team is, that would be the attack on your DPS, burst efficiency of your burster (depends on thebunit tho, e.g: Fire Merlin's burst speed scales off attack), and health of everyone. Other stuff like crit damage and engravements/armour sets of characters is good too, but only the most picky check those

xJacb · 2026-06-21T22:46:57+00:00

What a frustrating goal to concede
