Who needs effective weapons against Dragons when I have Joshua? Joshua plays with those dragons before eating them up for breakfast.

 

[Coricus]

Anyway, Nintendo needs to really get the big details out and impress with this in general if they want to get people sold on it.

That's not going to happen because people don't know what they want, so they want "what the other companies have." And that's not happening because the Switch is a system with no microphone port and bluetooth based controllers that could pick up interference from a wireless devices.

They could give away free unicorns with every subscription and most people wouldn't be impressed.

And every time Nintendo includes a communication system on their devices with even a little leeway either the media freaks about pedophiles or it gets actually flooded with pedophiles and Nintendo is seen as a substitute babysitter regardless because kiddy baby company, so yay there.

Well you’re welcome. Your character is probably darkerk skinned than you actually are lol

 

[redfeatherraven]

Well, yeah. I mostly just wanted to use the extreme case to make a point. Like I said, they're rare enough that you probably don't need to worry about them specifically most of the time, but having more options to deal with magic in general is always useful.


I overlooked the fact the blessing adds +3 HP, which is enough to save Tiki (I never really use the things and tend to forget the specifics of how they work). Excluding that:

- 55 base Atk + 6 from Death Blow 3 = 61
- 61 boosted by 50% from effective damage = 91.5
- 91.5 decreased by 20% due to weapon triangle = 73.2, rounded down to 73

- Tiki has 21 base Res, boosted to 25 with Ward Dragons, boosted to 27 with ally support

- 73 - 27 = 46, Tiki dies in exactly one shot (except she doesn't really because who knew blessings could actually be useful? Oh well.)

It gets better. Stay with me.

We know that Nowi and F!Grima wouldn't survive the attack, but they were never going to survive the attack. Let's take a look at M!Grima and Tiki.

In order for M!Grima to survive the attack, I'd have to boost his Res to 35. Right now I can get it to 39.

Starts at 29 base. Boosted by summoner support, that's 31. Park Nowi near him, that's 33. Have Nowi use Rally, that's 36. That alone would leave him with 1 HP, and he'd drop Julia on the return swing.

With Tiki in range, that makes up the 3 Res Nowi would need to bring with her Rally. Positioned properly, she can then advance on one of Julia's teammates.

Now let's take Tiki.

In order for Tiki to survive, I'd have to boost her Res to 28. Right now I can get it to 30.

Starts at 21 base. F!Grima support, that's 23. Ward Dragons from M!Grima, that's 27. Rally from Nowi, that's 30. Drops Julia on the return swing.

Needs every bit of everything my team can squeeze out, but very doable. Would be better if I had Warding Breath fodder or a few more merges, but the resources are what the resources are.

So as it stands, I have already existing options to survive that particular Julia. Heck, I even ignored the blessings.

And yes, you can argue that as a defender, the AI would never consider the Dragon Ball. But attacking my team with Julia, you've got three dragons I can't reasonably build to withstand her without Dragon Balling. Bait any of the vulnerable ones and the whole team falls apart. And Julia's supported by three other teammates, only one of whom has to counter Tiki if Julia somehow doesn't already (what up Reinhardt).

Attacking into Julia, meanwhile, has never been a problem. My anti-Julia strategy has been to close distance and kill her off before any dumb **** happens, abusing F!Grima's Reposition and a two-ranger like Tiki or Nowi, and it's worked every last time.

If I wanted, I could stick Res Ploy or something on Julia and tip the scales back in her favour, but eh.

To be fair, by the same token, I could run Warding Breath on Tiki and tip them most of the way back my way. You'd come out on top by one reduced point of Res, but my above set had that in its margin of error.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

But giving Lightning Breath to Grima is still a big goofy goof though.

I looked at it and yeah I changed it back and its in the 50s, idk why I even changed it tbh

"Rest in Peace, Virtual Console"

I thought the Virtual Console was still alive though. They just renamed it to "Homebrew" or something

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

And that's not happening because the Switch is a system with no microphone port

I mean, not trying to support those who want voice chat on the Switch but...

Not getting a dedicated microphone port didn't stop Nintendo from putting voice chat in the past, it ain't gonna stop 'em now.

Well you’re welcome. Your character is probably darkerk skinned than you actually are lol

My skin's closer to my avi's than that character's lol

I looked at it and yeah I changed it back and its in the 50s, idk why I even changed it tbh

At least you learned.

A real shame that another dragon had to die for it though.

But with that said, if you had Lightning Breath+, you could've made some unorthodox builds using refinement and a special that has 5 of cooldown (like Aether) since Vengeful Fighter makes the slower cooldown kind of a moot point.

Okay, I need to get some thoughts on Steven Universe's episodes last night off my chest. Double warning here for those who've not seen it, the spoilers are massive.

Spoiler: Tremendous Steven Universe spoiler

They were right. Those fans that believed Rose was Pink Diamond. They were freaking right. Some for the wrong reasons (there was one theory that Rose Quartz was Pink, but always looked like Rose Quartz) but plenty of them were dead-on or nearly so. Slightly differing details hardly matter though. They were all right. Holy ****.

Pink engineered a faking of her own death with Pearl's help, then retained a shapeshifted form of Rose from that point onward, even changing the shape of her gem.

This theory was huge, but I wasn't one who believed in it at this point. But I'm kind of glad I didn't because I think it made the reveal an even bigger surprise to me. And I'm not disappointed.

-This is why Pearl kept that Pink Diamond space suit. She was the only one who knew who Rose really used to be and what Pink's true nature was.
-It explains the human zoo, too. I just assumed Pink was compassionate to Earth's life to some degree, like Rose herself....
-No wonder why Pink and Rose have the same gem placements, anymore.
-It even lines up with Blue Zircon's theory and well-reasoned logic. A Diamond didn't flatout shatter her, but a Diamond was responsible for her disappearance; Pink herself.
-As for her logic, it still makes perfect sense. Pink's Pearl helped her with the whole thing. It explains how the "shatterer" got past her guards; nobody needed to get past them.
-It also explains why Rose took responsibility for "shattering" Pink Diamond. It really wasn't another Diamond who got rid of her, but Pink/Rose herself. She left her old life behind.

It's the Twin Stans theory all over again. I had high expectations for last night's episodes, but this blew me the **** away......

I didn’t know how dark of skin you had so I just chose randomly. Also I like black girls with white hair, it looks cool. So I had to.

You’re probably the only one even close to how you actually look irl. lol

Why do you have a thing for long colored hair guys with swords who kill dragons?

 

[Ivander]

Ares just got more terrifying. He can actually effectively use the AoE Specials. The AoE Specials were reduced to 4 cooldown when the skill update happened. Basically, the killer effect of Dark Mystletainn reduces it to 3. Now, when the AoE Special is used, the AoE Special will go back to 3 Charge. Ares will attack and most likely finish off the enemy, bringing the Charge to 2. After combat, the AoE Special will be back at 0, meaning that Ares can in fact use it again when he can attacks again. Just wow...

That's not going to happen because people don't know what they want, so they want "what the other companies have." And that's not happening because the Switch is a system with no microphone port and bluetooth based controllers that could pick up interference from a wireless devices.

Of course there will still be people unimpressed and want what the others have and whatnot. Although it may have been better worded had I said, "if they want to get as many people sold on it."

Don't mention that kind of thing here, Ivan. It's the stuff of nightmares.

[Ivander]

Jesus Christ, they snuck in one HECK of a powercreep.

And to think Eldigan may possibly get Dark Mystleteinn as well. I think both Ares and Eldigan just reached Reinhardt levels of terrifying. The only thing that stops them from entirely powerful is the fact that Dark Mystleteinn requires one battle to reduce the cooldown in order to start spamming specials. And if Ares is like Eldigan in terms of stats, all that's needed to deal with them is a good Blue mage as long as they don't survive.

I was gonna mention how this reminded me of the Twin Stans theory. Though I think that was way more huge in the community and was actually standing still when the reveal came.
Pink is Rose has always been a theory ever since we knew about Diamonds but it has had its up and downs of credibility.

But holy ****, did they make it work. While I love the buildup to the Author's reveal, I kinda like the casual tone Rose's reveal got more. Her and Pearl's conversation is probably one of my favorite scenes now.

Why do you have a thing for long colored hair guys with swords who kill dragons?

Because:
A) Swords are hot
B) Long-haired men are hot
C) Killing dragons is hot

Now let's take Tiki.

View attachment 143339

In order for Tiki to survive, I'd have to boost her Res to 28. Right now I can get it to 30.

Starts at 21 base. F!Grima support, that's 23. Ward Dragons from M!Grima, that's 27. Rally from Nowi, that's 30. Drops Julia on the return swing.

Needs every bit of everything my team can squeeze out, but very doable. Would be better if I had Warding Breath fodder or a few more merges, but the resources are what the resources are.

So as it stands, I have already existing options to survive that particular Julia. Heck, I even ignored the blessings.

To be fair, by the same token, I could run Warding Breath on Tiki and tip them most of the way back my way. You'd come out on top by one reduced point of Res, but my above set had that in its margin of error.

If you're using your other units to boost them, then I could also have my own buffs on Julia to cancel those out. Except the AI can't really use buffs that effectively, so I'd probably need expensive stuff like Atk Tactic or Chill Res to pull that off. So I guess in terms of "can Julia one-shot every dragon on that team", we can call it a 2-2 draw since otherwise we could just spend ages stacking on buffs and debuffs and get nowhere.

As for her team-mates... hmm. How does Watersweep Felicia with Savage Blow 6 sound? Chip damage and debuffs all round, and impossible to bait her because there are no dragons fast enough to break through Watersweep. You'd need to fling someone up to deal with her before she can get to you, potentially putting them in danger like what would happen if you go for Julia first.

Add in lance Azura for some unpredictability and countering Tiki if needed, and I guess the obligatory Falchion user, probably horse Chrom because high Atk and Chill Def. Sure, you could bait him with Nowi pretty easy, but he'll take a decent chunk of health from her if he does attack her. Or I could also have spring Catria, for debuffs to three stats at once. These can all be baited pretty easily by your team, but they're mostly just supporting acts anyway.

Of course a team like that is pretty impractical for arena defence, and even if I did run such a team, they'd never score high enough to be matched against a team of dragons. So you can probably dismiss all that if you like. ...I might actually run it at some point though, just to see if I get any actual wins out of it. :p

It depends on who attacks, actually, since both are EP units.
Joshua has an advantage in that he can actually deal 20 damage to Grima even if he dies, while Grima just has to accept his death(and that's not considering Summoner Support btw).
