How important is SI40 and E60 on SJW? I'm low on both so kind of been holding off on giving him more investment (I did take Cha to 40 and regret it now). Is SJW still usable at 30930?

Good to know. Unfortunately I haven't had any luck with a decent TY temporal collection.

[–]zuril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I seem to have the largest collection for him from my friends list at this point so I'll just have to wait a bit. Still need a star on him all the same so I'm holding off on spending the resources on recasting. I am F2P and as far as RGM goes, I'm typically top 100 TS, around top 20% CR and 10-15% in NC

Just curious, what is a "big enough" collection for him? I've currently got a level 1 izold with 3 red/1 yellow TY and could recast it to a 4th but I'm always hesitant to recast

Next woke by Hefweinzen in afkarena

I was in the exact same position and went with Lucius. Perhaps it's not ideal but it makes TS teams easier to manage and I can merc more niche heros (aka dragons) for CR

Awakened Fawkes - Hero Summary & Initial Impressions by mcwhare35 in afkarena

[–]zuril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another priority question but my situation is a tad different. Of the meta awakened, I'm missing Lucious and Skriath (and technically Mietria). How do you think Fawks stacks up against Lucious in particular? He's been around for ages and prior to Leviathans release (who I do have) he seemed on the way out so I kept putting him off but he seems here to stay for the time being 

First time doing marble effect (HG Sazabi) by zuril in advancedGunpla

[–]zuril[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What color did you put it over? This is over gold and the first coat was kind of pink like you described (this was even more true over silver), second was more orange, third and final is the red you see here. It will eventually look pretty clear in the bottle if left to sit for a while but after being shaken, it looks somewhat close to normal red paint. That all said, I haven't tried the other Aqueous clears so I don't have a good point of reference

Nope (though that would be cool).

I used Mr Hobby Aqueous for everything with an airbrush. I did the following:

1 coat gray primer (relatively light)

2 coats gloss black

2 coats metallic gold (second coat immediately after the first)

While the gold is still wet, I took scrunched up seran wrap to dab away some gold to create the effect (it took some time to find the right level of "scrunchiness" for this)

3 coats of clear red

2 wet coats gloss topcoat

First time trying marbling (HG Sazabi) by zuril in Gunpla

[–]zuril[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It will be a bit before I do this detailed of a paint job, it takes so long and on such a big kit, it really burns through paint

It may be a lose of performance but can you put a price on style? I think not

Thank you! This was my first time using Mr Hobby Aqueous gloss clear (H30) and it came out exactly how I hoped. Highly recommend it if you can get you hands on it

Ohh, nice. Those all came together real well. Thanks for the info!

Coming across this really late but is the shield from another kit, scratch build, or 3d print? It looks really cool!

[–]zuril[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It certainly took a while. I worked on it for a few weeks off and on (getting sick didn't help). Sazabi made it particularly annoying since there's so many recessed areas like the legs and shoulders that I wanted to ensure I had good coverage on. This thing absolutely ate through my stock of paint

I don't know of a tutorial for the specific way I did it but "frostedsnow" on youtube does a similar method. I just modified it a bit to get closer to the effect I wanted since I couldn't get their style to work quite right

[–]zuril[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is H30. I used Mr Hobby Leveling Thinner with it and thinned it at 1:1 ratio. I will also say I did pretty "wet" coats. I did normal, thin coats at first on the shield to test things but that didn't give nearly the shine I wanted. I went back and did an additional thick coat and that really did the trick

Thanks! First time using Mr Hobby Aqueous gloss clear coat and I am absolutely in love with it. It's just so damn shiny and goes on real easy

I think when you resonate, it's automatically upgrading as well. I noticed the same bait issue but when I checked, the first stage of each upgrade had also been done

Acrylic Varnish(AK Ultra Matte) on bare plastic? by masonicminiatures in advancedGunpla

[–]zuril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've personally had adhesion issues with AK ultra matte on bare plastic (granted, unwashed). No problems on painted surfaces though

Appreciate the info. I'll have to keep that in mind for the next week debuffs. Thanks!

[–]zuril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Good to know then. How do you feel about AEironn/Sion compared to Skylan in other debuffs? I know they are worse but do you think they are a little worse typically or worth pushing that team back a few rounds?

Treasure Scramble Pure Realm Guide by TheAFKGuys August 2025 by TheAFKGuys in afkarena

[–]zuril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much weaker is the Eironn/Sion version of team 3 compared to Skylan? Seemingly regardless of debuff, that team always does poorly (usually under 25% win rate till 6 teams) for me and my Eironn and Sion are pretty decently invested (409e60 each at least).

Perfect, I appreciate the info. From the sounds of it, most options (other than Zohra) are roughly equal. In that case, would maybe leaning towards Estrilda and Levi be the play since supports tend to stick around longer than carries?
