And doubles it permanently??? :eyepop:

This might be the first actually sound investment of *checks notes* $9 in gacha history

From the sounds of it, they will be releasing more of these regularly and you'll be able to swap between the permanent bonuses they provide as you collect them with only one active at a time. So I bet they will release bonuses for extra xp, extra hero-merit, and I dont know what else they could give.

It's only been one day and I've already done horrible things with Bridal Larum.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and barbecue your own drumsticks!

I have played this stupid waifu game since launch and there's still stuff about it that just baffles me. Namely, heal assist skills on non-staff users, like Ardent Sacrifice and Reciprocal Aid.

Sometimes I will use "combat medics" in Tempest Trials- units with HP regen on their weapon or whatever, stacking Renewal B and Seal, stuff like that. In auto battle, I can't figure out the behavior of my combat medics sometimes.

What determines when "combat medics" will use a heal assist in Auto Battle?

I had a baffling situation just this morning. First round of combat, I had Young Boyd, MMarth, and Larum. Boyd was wounded from the previous floor, around 14 or so HP. He has Odd Tempest so he goes charging ahead into enemy threat range and stays there. MMarth moves, Larum dances for her, MMarth moves right behind Boyd, and stops. Doesn't use Reciprocal Aid, nada. Just stops. She was not in range of any enemy, she was not in enemy threat range, she was at full health thanks to Falchion and double Renewal.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Hmm, I was going to let Lilith live for now, but I see that my +10 Clair is going to be on bonus. I'll probably wait a couple days to make sure Clair can still pull her weight, but feeding time might be coming early.

Trip report: Clair performs just fine relative to my core, but the team as a whole struggles a lot with the 748 and 750 matches I was fishing for, and also apparently that isn't even enough to stay in tier 20 these days anyway, so meh. Lilith can sub back in I guess.

Watching auto-battles is quite painful, I understand this completely. It’s great to watch an EP unit go into threat range, another unit “save” them from those threats, then a glass cannon mage cav fill that freed up danger spot.

I had been given to believe that "within two rows" meant you could be two rows up from it but research suggests this is not actually the case v:v:v

Plus something had Odd Tempest and I forgot to check for it. Luckily my escape ladder had plenty of charges so no harm done

Also the only two 5*s I've gotten on either the fallen banner or the bride banner have been vanilla Mareeta and ascended Ishtar, neither of whom I particularly have a place for but at least Ishtar's art is cool

This Hall of Forms was hilarious for me because I'm already quite familiar with building dancers for combat, so this ended up being my easiest Hall in a while. Which is good, because only Ethlyn got her Dance early, and she was the one who didn't want it so she could get Danced herself and kill poo poo. Lachesis only rolled Dance at about five or six floors left, and Eldigan never got it at all.

Now for the real challenge: figuring out how the gently caress I'm going to tackle Forma Souling three dancers, especially when I already have one of them at +10.

Ive been trying so hard to make gatekeeper work as a sorcery blade vantage supporter for AR, but all the really good vantage units are infantry and without farsave to cover him even his defenses aren’t usually strong enough to take frontliner ranged attacks.

It's tonight. We always get at least 24 hours of notice before the banner hits.

What messes with it sometimes is if the banner is tied to a Tempest Trial or something, since the bonus units and pick-up banner for those bonus units would spoil the focused games. In cases like that we get a trailer sooner.

It's Myrrhbin' Time!

Actually, that PRF sounds very obnoxious. She still gets its effect on Player Phase, while the rest of her team follows behind to keep the effect on Enemy Phase. If she has a Far Save buddy, she can just lunge into your team and beat the poo poo out of you without reprisal unless you have some serious EP business.

Nevermind, Myrrbin' Time is over. -> Myrrh Abyssal Clear

I wanted to take Myrrh down with F!Ninian, but the Brave Bow Flier needed to die first and Myrrh was already on top of me by that point, so Larum it is. She continues to remind me that I built her precisely for situations like this.

Don't worry, they'll ruin this one quickly too by retroactively changing Yune from a Dark Mythic to a brand new Chaos Mythic in the next update.

Evening, patrolmaaan.
I'm probably just going to use the exact same teams for AR chaos except swap Peony/Plumeria for Duo Peony and change my save teams to only have one save unit.

It would be very fun to use Duma as an offence mythic, but Upheaval specifies that he has to be defending in anima season and that it works against offense structures so I imagine it wouldn't work.

That's how the name is pronounced. It is an actual name that people use. There are far more people who pronounce the name as Gi than as the English word Guy.
