At least friendship points don't have fluctuating difficulty on top of RNG, and 2ST recovers a lot faster than 10BP. Finding and losing to a champion costs more time than auto-running chapter 1-1 and opening the wiki.

It's gaelic.
At high levels, the friendship questions are bullshit because all your good players are already maxed, and you have to go grab some poo poo fodder to train. At low levels, the champion is bullshit, because you don't have enough BP, and you top out in the CoD pretty low, so you can't repeat it that often, and even when you do get a champion, you can only beat the easier ones which means you have to go through MORE BP to lose a few times and finally get a champion you can beat.

I feel lucky that I seem to be just at the cusp between the two. I have a brand new good character I'm just starting to build up his teamwork for, and I can race through around 22 levels of the CoD no problem, with a BP restoring trainer to help speed that up.

That said, this mission stuff is definitely rigged more against the lower level players more than the higher. Because like Schubalts said, there's always Story Mission 1-1 for the crap fodder players.

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



I had a good weekend - three copies of Elise from running, bought a fourth, Zibroi popped up in scout, and got Shura in a draw. She seems ridiculously custom built for Ravian: reflex/speed ace, reflex/crit totem, crit resist debuffer, and passing active/specialisation on top of that.

I'm thinking of replacing my frontline Beatrice/Jeunese/Castor(yes!) with Ravian/Jeunese/Shura. Thoughts?

Looks good. Can't say too much about most of the season 2 people since I don't spend crystals to draw and they won't pop up in scout for the forseeable future, but it looks like good synergy for Ravian. The only thing I can ding Shura for is her low speed stat, but considering Ravian doesn't really need the pass to deal significant damage like other shooters do it'd be less of an issue.

One of my friends rolled Meta in a 10+1 over the week-end .... congratulations were given :p

10+1 gave me some nice ST fodder though in the form of Mikael, Uriel and Beatrice dupes. Not all bad, I guess.

Oh boy, Miho. Drain 20% spirit and 10% action bar from the enemy position with an action. More action bar shenanigans incoming.

Aslan's ace skill. Is this the only ace that affects CLASSES, rather than elements? Make that all but one of her passives, as well.

e: A Nerua change. Her skill is now ALWAYS only for Thunder players. I predict tears.

There are the rainbow aces. Most notably Silla, but also generic ones like Malcolm or Khiriel or whatever you raise a single stat.

Then there's also Sharr (I think) who has the weird ace skill of increasing your damage when penetrating.

EDIT: Goddammit, there's a Ravian skin. I want it, but I also want to keep my Dimension Stones.

I think that was Hildegarde too, but both ace skills are just a flat attack power increase now because apparently it didn't work properly.

Man, I was getting spoiled on the "Red vs Blue Team" event, with its 100 ST participation award. I've finally run out of ST again, and it sucks having to wait, especially when you need some blue elementals because you're about to get enough team points to evolve someone. That was a great event.

Well Nerua was begging for a nerf, was kinda hoping they'd tone down Sharr/Ravian before that :v:. Enthia got a good change, really curious how they extra damage to GK from her active will work out.

And finally a new superb boss, something to bash my head against with my team. Maybe tricker since I'm running Leventor, although I have a Beatrice thats pretty much maxed out that I can pull out for this boss.

How exactly do superb boss fights work? All I remember is the scaling enemy debuff when you lose repeatedly and 100% boss drop.

Drakes
Jul 18, 2007

They are brutal, you probably want 10k+ TA if you aim to beat them without burning ST/crystal to lose repeatedly to tank their stats. 10 losses to drop 5% of their stats , and yup they're a 100% drop rate. Their skills are alittle more unique but never really quite legendary status.

They're usually very gimmicky and getting your action speed ruined is not strange, while the GK probably generates atleast 20-40% HP on attacked to prevent cheese. Last superb boss had the damage everyone for 10% HP every 5 minute weather effect, minions did a stacking debuff that cripple action speed or something, boss character had this kamikaze effect where EVERYONE lost about 20% HP whenever he attacked, and the GK regenerated like 60% HP on being attacked.

So what sound be a good replacement for Nerua for ardor/ww?

My current team is
Bea/nezza/yuri
Lia/shu/Kevin
Nerua/Magnus/Kiki/anael/Jin

While I wait for the dstones to get khirel.

I am thinking silk instead of nerua, move Kiki front and put yuri back on defense since my issue before swapping Kiki and yuri was to get out from def without a decent attacker.

What do you guys think about replacing Victoria with EE Jheet midlane for a Jheet/Shu/Lilith-Yuri?

Black lane is becoming Anael-Malcolm/Avnore/Lia.

Playing the storyline stuff is the fastest way.

To be more specific, you'll get the most rank up exp from the highest level storymode game you can beat, with the cravat that Challenge (and presumably Hell, but I'm not there yet) will give more exp than an equivalent difficulty (not the same "level", but a match that has the same actual difficulty, like 10 levels up) in Normal. That said, you can sometimes get exp FASTER by doing a lower level that you can beat faster, so finding an equilibrium can be nontrivial.

At a certain level, doing bosses in the Space Time Continuum can get you a similar level of exp as storymode, in which case I recommend doing that instead, as then you're simultaneously grinding season points, which are good. That's what I'm doing right now (I'm at rank 62, AAA team, high silver or low/unworthy gold PvP).

Drakes

I think generally people preferred to keep their ranks low so they could coast through arena easier since it matches via rankings.

Theres exp matches you can run on Fridays (NA timezone) that dump 15k per match, can only run 3 times each time it comes around. Can time with using your last 10 ST to refill ST/BP/BB with a rank up.

Lilith just showed up in scout. I'm worried that if I grab her, Ravian'll show up next spin. Is Lilith worth it as a healer? For example, to replace my backrow Tria (5* Full Superb, she's been decent, particularly PvE, but not terrible in silver rank PvP)?

One of the 4 or 5* healers are way more useful than the 3* healers like Tria, mostly because they don't just heal HP (which is nearly useless in PVP) but boost action bar (which is OP in PvP), Lilith's hp drain can be helpful but eventually you get to the point where HP is just a wall to one or two shot and the amount you get back from blood drain is just too tiny to make a difference.

ZepiaEltnamOberon

The only time I'd consider Blood Drain to be OP is whenever they bring out the Event Match where the enemies have HP in the 10,000s (though the damage you deal to them is also amplified by the same amount, so nothing really changes in term of difficulty) because you heal back so much loving HP (more HP than you even have) that you honestly cannot lose with Blood Drain. And they bring that match out like once or twice a year. And it's not that hard anyways.

Otherwise, Aura of Bloodsucking isn't that vital a skill. And it's useless in PvP to boot.

I scouted Yuri, drew Mikael, and I finally scouted Isillia. I was hitting the elemental matches hard today and I managed to evo her. Now I've got enough elementals to either evo Mikael or EE Isillia. I guess my questions would be:

Should I E Mikael or EE Isillia?
Should I EE Ravian or Metatron?
Where should my Littres be going? (I ask because even at 50 EE Ravian could have 1 point in Spawn)

I've got 600 crystals saved up right now. I was thinking of saving the draws for when the featured draws rotates for a chance at Miho and Luka.

Welp, won't even bother trying for Aslan. Leonard (goalie) and Saramir healing for 50% when attacked, Jess heals 40% every pass, there's a Silk so she just isn't gonna die ever, and Castor buffing every WW player with 50% attack and health, and they're all immune to the piercing wind weather.

If you already have a hive account linked then I think the easiest way is to either delete it entirely off your device or link your current guest account with nothing to a second 'fake' hive account and then change the password on the fake one to get the stupid program to ask you again for your hive login so you can log in with your actual account.

Is two dedicated passers in the front line overkill? I'm asking because this is my current setup:


And I just pulled Shura out of my latest multipull. I'm hesitant to replace my Evylin since she's done alot of work for me and is at 2 superb from dupes I got so it seems like a waste to bench her, and maybe I'm doing something wrong but Draven seems to just loving suck. Destroy Camp is nice but in hardmode story he usually can't deal any damage and I always just end up passing to Constance to shoot instead of bothering penetrating the line. So unless it's a really bad idea I was just going to feed him to Shura and put her there.

You should put Valkia up front.
