I wonder who from Black Survival they could even put in that role in the future... I guess Mai maybe? Controlling manequins since she is a fashion designer?

she is cute

e: oh the wiki for the orginal game doesn't have all the characters in it currently. there is a lady who has a marionette she controls lol... so uh, i guess she would fill that niche

the first game is against bots right? because people would just run up to my melee guy as a ranged character, shoot me a few times, then basically go afk. i won my first game with absolutely no issue and i've played maybe 10 hours of RTS or MOBA games in my life lol

worth noting that other players can also hide their username by going into options, so you might also run into actual players named Test Subject. theyre probably streamers who dont wanna get stream sniped

With her nearly all the high school age characters are out of the way except for like Eva and the "vampire". Which is nice since, imo, the characters in their 20s and 30s are more interesting.

hes a little underpowered and he needs to grab two weapons which can be a pain, but he has some advantages. the stealths pretty strong

he def. seems like a character more suited to duos tho

I love playing Rozzie and I hate myself for playing her. Everyone who plays Rozzie should be banned from gaming forever.

Lydia Lin's art got nerfed but she's still good.

And they whitewashed my boy Magnus.

Excited for Sua, I played her a lot in original BS.

Wait this is a thing? I played a game where I killed 2 players and then immediately died to a Barbara named Test Subject 8. I thought I was so loving terrible for dying to a bot but now that I know this I feel less like an idiot.

I bought Luke on a whim and then proceeded to effortlessly get my first win. :cheerdoge:

He seems kinda ridiculous!

The final fight was down to me and another Luke just sitting spamming attacks at eachother and I won just by a hair since I had the Wickeline buff.

He is in the same subset of characters as Cathy and Jackie where they are deadlier quicker then everyone else. One of the upcoming patches, can't remember if its going to be this one, is adding a special ping on the map for when people finish higher tier weapons, which should help some with dealing with em. Of those three Cathy is probably the scariest even with her chase tools lacking compared to the others.

Sua looks really fun and I have to play 1 PvP game a day to scrounge up the coins to buy her because I apparently accidentally bought Adella?

Li Dailin, Sua, Adella, and Soichi were my favorites back when I was playing the original game, but in Eternal Return Adella and Soichi have playstyles that are very incompatible with my NSKM playstyle.

the butter cheat sheet has some drinks there too
for sp items it just tends to be water + another liquid in your starting zone for something to start out with. boiling water builds into a good number higher tier SP items and food so horde your lighters and aim for that, it will probably be the easiest. at factory you can do Baijiu with alchocol and lighter, and if you can grab another lighter you can up that to another tier. its an easy one to remember

None of the skins are really doing it for me other than maybe Soichi.

i don't think the soichi one is bad but its just so funny seeing him go from the most normal looking guy in the world to that lmao

i like the lenox skin tho i am not a fan of the section where the crotch of her pants is a different color. i like the rozzi skin cause she feels like she is going to go akuma no riddle on everyone.

I'm having a ton of fun with Sua. I thought she'd be primarily a defensive character, but she's incredibly dangerous when on the offense. Her Q can really gently caress over anyone trying to escape from you, and her E is very long.

That said, I've yet to win with her. In fact, I managed to lose the most recent game I was playing despite having so many good items. Picked up the first 2 Trees of Life for her and killed Wicklein but I still lost. Silvia ran circles around me with constant hit and runs and I got double teamed by her and Jackie at low HP.

drat, just missed this

I played a few months ago but several of my friends play and now I'm trying it again too. I think the most difficult thing to adjust to is how often you want to fight, which is literally never unless you're absolutely positive you're going to get the kill, and quickly. I'm not to the point where I'm making my own builds but I've got a lot of Dota experience so I can usually win like 1/10 games - a higher winrate now that I've got some of the meta strategy down. Just won a game where the final fight was basically me baiting out the enemy ult and then completely disengaging, using all my healing items, then jumping back in. Being fast seems incredibly important and I think if I ever got a big enough brain to cycle through multiple items it would be boots - focus on movespeed in the beginning then transition into the crit boost shoes.

For SP drinks, coffee is really easy to make and is a huge boost, I tend to use that

Hart as a character has such a fun playstyle with her weapon but I've failed miserably when playing her in PvP because she moves so loving slowly and she doesn't really pick up any shoes at all until her 3rd or 4th location.

Also Temple is really popular these days so you end up not being able to farm anything in reasonable time, or having to give up some poo poo.
