So tonight is the last night before the focus heroes get rotated out, yes? I'm conflicted if i should try rolling for a male robin/takumi while he is still focus or just wait for the new focus heroes

 

[Ffamran]

Who needs options when you got a sister like me?
View attachment 126077

No non-green mages, no cavalry, no wvyern riders, no Jeorge or an actually good archer, and no borderline broken units. I ain't got a lot of good options. Also, only 2 sisters and they're basically expies to each other: Lissa and Sharena. No onee-sama to make life easier.

Unless you have a niche that only they can fill, I'd wait.

It nothing else, we know Robin is getting a special Christmas version (but may not be a blue mage) which you may like better if it's just the character you're interested in.

Sort of the same with Lyn, Roy, and Lucina; all three of them are supposed to be getting special events dedicated to them along with Ike.

well my team rn is 5*Sister 5*Death-on-a-Horse 4*Worst Mage(Sophia) and 3*Olivia.
Due to my 5 stars both being Brave Weapon users and me having a Dancer my team is very strong on offense and can't really afford to keep the enemy team alive. Unfortunately Armor Knights are in this game.
Sophia SHOULD be good versus armor knights by virtue of being a mage but she is too slow to get any kills
now typing this out i feel like i need specifically Liliana i need a mage and i need one that can actually one shot/round things So seeing as she's not focus im probably not going to try to roll for a Sophia replacement

I've finally beaten the 5th Challenge in Project X Zone 2.

Which was just roughly 10 Waves of Bosses. It was pretty tough though, since I was roughly around the same level as the Bosses. Which were at Lv. 23 each, I was around Lv. 22 - 25 during it. Ended it between Lv. 25 - 27, but at least I got some cool equipment.

As for the Waves, here's what you fight:
Wave 1 - Pyron, B.B. Hood, Lord Raptor
Wave 2 - M.Bison, Juri
Wave 3 - Nelo Angelo, Nemesis T-Type, Sigma, Vile MK-2, Tong Pooh
Wave 4 - Dural, B.Hayato
Wave 5 - Marduk, Vajra, Kamuz
Wave 6 - Shadow, Coco Tapioca
Wave 7 - Metal Face, Azure Kite, Skeith
Wave 8 - T-elos, Zagi, Unknown
Wave 9 - Prelude, Aya-me
Wave 10 - Ranmaru, Dokuboro
Wave 11 - Saya, Dokugozu, Dokumezu

Might got the list order wrong since I'm trying to remember from memory, but it is a tough challenge. Have to make sure that you target the right threats. Sigma's a pain since he can easily drain your XP after targeting him, Azure Kite is probably going to be the biggest threat on Wave 7 when fighting him, due to having HP Counter (If you do a ton of damage to him. You kiss your HP goodbye) and Nemesis being immune to Status Effects and having Regen as well.

On the plus side, you get Equipment for Ryu/Ken, Dante/Vergil, Chun-Li/Xiaoyu.

anyways it's kinda fun to look at if you are bored and want to look at what ifs

Pokemon Shuffle updated too and I tried out the Pikachu (Love) stage. It gave me three rare boxes. I was betting I would only get small stuff in them. Buuuut it gave me 20 Hearts, 1 Mega Speedup and 2000 Coins. The 20 Hearts really did surprise me. Probably got those because of the Pokemon Safari and Volcanion are around. :V

When the update containing the heart Pikachu hit we were all so happy when looking at the fact it would give us so many free hearts and coins and other items if you were particularly lucky (12% drop rates that I, of course, did not get).

Then this update sucked the joy right out of us when they threw a Safari and an Escalation together for the first time ever, requiring ALL the hearts you just earned if not a whole lot more.

Oh, and a double Competition back-to-back (Gardevoir and Rayquaza, if I read it correctly), as well as new Main Stages that include an absurdly good Mega on Aggron, conveniently good for this competition, except if you're not at endgame stages...

 

[Ffamran]

Well, I take back some of the stuff I've said about Alfonse. I still think his contradicting design is stupid, though.

Spoiler: Blah, blah, still don't like Alfonse

Basically, if I were to put it in terms of skills, Alfonse is Slow Burn and Sharena is Quick Burn. At the start of the game, Alfonse is underwhelming, especially since you can summon sword units from 3* to 5* that are at worst decent. Kind of subjective and there are probably special cases like sword knights and Olivia might be harder to say they're straight up better or worse than units like Chrom Fir, Hana, Hinata, Lucina, Lyn, Roy, Selena, Ryoma, etc. or even cavalry and Pegasus Knights like Cain and Stahl or and Caeda and Palla. Anyway, if you manage because you're stuck with him or you decide to try and promote him, Alfonse starts to become better. As a 3*, his stats are much better than when he was a 2*; level for level, Alfonse is overall a much, much better unit. That said, he's still pretty slow, but not as horrendously slow when he was a 2* and his resistance leaves much to be desired. In terms of his strengths, it's just pure strength; right now, he's a level under 5* Hawkeye who is level 23, but ties for having the highest attack in my army at 34 both having weapons with 11 might -- Silver Sword for Al and Killer Axe+ for Hawkeye --, so nothing unfair. So, Alfonse takes time to become better which for some, might be too long. Personally, his start left a sour impression.

Sharena is the opposite. At the start, she is an amazing unit and can keep up with 3* lance units. As a 3*, however, she doesn't really get any better. Still kind of the same Sharena and might be a bit weaker since she doesn't really gain much other than a better weapon and a passive buff, Fortify Def. In terms of stats, her defense is 1 above Anna's 13 and both resistance and speed are 1 above Alfonse's 10 and 17, respectively. Her attack pales in comparison to Alfonse's and if I had a Silver Axe for Anna, would match Anna's who is 2 levels behind her. Sharena basically became take all the bad stats of Alfonse and Anna and combine them. Outside of her being a blue unit and her utility, Sharena's underwhelming and sometimes a liability.

For Anna, she's been the same from the beginning. Good and bad since it doesn't seem like she's noticeably improving, but also doesn't seem like she's going downhill.

Anyway, this is only for them as 3* units. I have no idea what will happen when they become 4* and 5* units. For all I know, Anna could end up as the best, Alfonse continues to improve, but because of his skill set, isn't as good as the other sword lords, and Sharena could improve or end up as the worst unit.

Well, I'm one chapter from finishing the story mode. Highlights of the journey: noted in the above spoiler, Sharena became a liability alongside Gwendolyn. Gwen as a knight can't move as much and it's annoying trying to get her in position. I need to use Bartre or Roy in my previous file who has Shove to move her along, but that could end up putting her in terrible spots where she'll get mauled and be unable to escape since she can only move 1 space per turn. At this point, Subaki's my only useful blue and lance unit -- back to square one -- and Tiki has replaced Gwen as the tank. Tiki's the reason why I even beat 8-5. Everyone died, nobody, but Lucina could damage Tiki, and Tiki gets free counters regardless of range. I was able to take out Lucina first before she could kill Tiki and ended up cheesing the rest of the chapter as Tiki killed everyone. Selena continues to be my most useful and consistently best unit. She's hilariously durable, fast, and at times, really powerful, especially against knights. The green and axe units are all around useful minus Anna being a very niche use and Barst who is overshadowed by armor-killer Bartre, monster Hawkeye, and speed demon Raven. Chapter 9-4 was interesting. I saw the grey units and I was like, "Oh, yeah, Cecilia has Gronnraven which is effective against colorless units, so I'll take her along Hawkeye, Selena, and Tiki." Didn't work out as planned since while she did damage, she didn't do enough and she's too slow to double anyone. Tiki once again was used as a meat shield and took one for the team, Hawkeye killed the masked man, and Selena did everything else.

Also, did both Sophia maps and dear Hylia, her speed is atrocious. 2 freaking speed. 2. Speed. I guess she really does get winded. I'm equating her with Cecilia minus being a mounted unit, so +1 movement, and a weapon that is effective against a type of unit -- pretty sure it's cavalry for dark mage red units which is ironic considering who I'm comparing her to. Unless her attack ends up being really high like Alfonse, she looks really underwhelming.

I guess I'm the only one here that sees any kind of potential in Sophia, even if it's niche.
She focuses on providing pure resistance to your team. Nothing more. Her entire kit and her stats are focused on just that. Make her resistance grotesquely high, and everything else to okay or bad. Also give the rest of her team resistance. Give everyone resistance.
Really though it isn't useful because how many teams are you going to run into with more than 2 magic users, if even that? But if your team is really susceptible to magic (like mine but I'm still doing fine without her), then she's at least worth considering imo.

[Cress!]

Spoiler: Ayyyyyy gorls

Finally my first 5 star.

I'm worried now because he has Seal Defense and that other similar skill that Oboro has, plus he has absurdly high strength. He may end up replacing Oboro...

Or I could just use both and cripple everyone's defense if they don't die in 1 hit anyways since red units are running around everywhere in the arena and in the game in general.

Also he has a voiceline about seeing the tip of his pointy lance... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) He seems like a great unit. That's what I'm trying to say.

Edit: Oh yeah and the 4 new units just added are permanent. So even though their focus will end in 2 weeks, they'll still be summonable, just at a rarer chance since they won't be in focus.

 

[ZephyrZ]

In the new paralouges, Ephraim said that his sibling bond with Eirika is so strong, that people spread disgusting lies about them. That's absolutely hysterical. Well played Heroes.

I want a Renais Twin, but all I got when I rolled was a bunch of characters I already had. I'm almost angry that you got a 5-star Ephraim already.

Cress!
TBH I'm rerolling using Nox to try and get Emph. It's probably the new artwork (or the fact GBA didn't have much to use for portraits), but Emph is, like, probably bara husbando material.

Sure sending Wreck it Ralph in to kill everything that doesn't have a Ruby Sword is nice, but, like, I need some better units. I only have Olivia, Hector, and Clarine. B> blue units or red units or magic users or something omg

Used 60 orbs and got othing useful, except maybe 4 star Peri.

I saw that too and giggled. I mean they were SUPER affectionate, but I don't remember if it was to the point of them being HYUCK HYUCK DOWN IN THE SOUFF BOONIES YEEHAAAAW-stereotype kind of affection or just borderline creepy affection.

I think the killer is in their supports where Ephriam talks about stroking Eirika's face, but that's not necessarily something sexual (unless there's weird moaning sounds involved or something *cough*fates*cough*), especially in different parts of the world.

Morning girls. How's everyone doing?

About to do some more Uni work and look on the 3D Modelling App "SketchUp" and learn how to design on it so I can at least have some way to utilize it and have a more wider range of designing my IKEA Design Hack (Which I've designed to have them look like Tetris Blocks, which will be fun.)

Still wanna pull him and Eirika tho because they're coo

Gorl it's reddit. The Hyrule Warriors one still thinks that the Element+ skills are the best skills in the game even though they can mess up damage bonuses and ruin combos. Overwatch reddit has a lot of bigheaded healer mains and some that still think Lucio is bad.

Further down in the thread people say Seal Defense is useless (-7 defense on an enemy is always 100% useless? lolokay) and ALFONSE IS BETTER THAN HIM? Yep, Sword-User-#1036 is so great against all of those green units you see everywhere like Camilla and

As someone whose original team was all about Defense debuffs, I noticed the problem with him right away.

There's a hard -7 debuff limit to a single stat in this game, so Ephraim's skills are all somewhat redundant. If that weren't true, then he'd be OP; any attack on him leading to a guaranteed -12 defense debuff, plus Moonblow acting as if there's another -30% decrease would let him go through even armored knights like a hot knife through butter.

Eirikia has some good utility though if you have the right units to really abuse her assists And I voted for her like 10 times . Used all my orbs and didn't get her, but I did get a 5* Minerva and 5* Sakura so...I guess that's good?

welp i can already foresee the mass player exodus

That's what Ike is for.

That Ness kill around the 4:00 mark was a thing of beauty.

I was wondering about this. Is it actually a -7 cap though, or just a case of only taking the strongest debuff?

Ephraim's also about as slow as Hector, with far less bulk. I'm sure he's usable (it's not like -7 def is trivial), but he does have his issues.

Welcome Back!

How has the frozen tundra of Canadia been, besides having lost your hair and aviator sunglasses?

Also welcome back you ungrateful band wagoners.

A pokemon game that doesn't let you use a full team of Crobats isn't one worth playing, tbh.

If it lets me finally do that, I'll reinstall it and play again and probably get hit by a truck.

Seriously though, if you live in a place with high motor traffic, I can't help but feel like the GO+ accessory is just sort of required for safety if nothing else.

Ephraim's also about as slow as Hector, with far less bulk. I'm sure he's usable (it's not like -7 def is trivial), but he does have his issues.

Unless I haven't really been paying attention (definitely possible), it's a cap. I'm...reasonably sure it was a -7 debuff limit and worked as a cap in Fates, too?

My original team was Peri / Roy / Setsuna / Jakob.

Peri has Ephraim's aura -5 def skill, Roy has Ephraim's -7 after-combat skill, Jakob has a -7 def/res after-combat skill on his weapon. Basically, if debuffs worked the way they'd need to to make Ephraim OP, this team would have been up there in terms of OPness with 4x Takumi, instead of being deadmeat to any particularly strong Armored Knight.

I'd have to equip their weaker skills and check it out in the training tower to make sure, but I'm out of stamina at the moment.
