Finally got to playing Salmon Run, and it was really fun. Got to try out Lost Outpost.
I dunno why, but I feel like smaller spawn areas that the Salmon come from are much easier to handle then the large area that appears behind the map when the tide is low. Maybe it's just me, since I've lost a few times when trying to defend that area.
But I've managed to get the Life Jacket which looks really nice, though shame is that Splatfest wise, my team lost (I was Team Invisible). We lost Solo matches by 10%, because one time, I had this guy who was just trolling us, he would just run into enemies, not firing any ink either. Because of him during the Shifty Station map, we only covered 7% of the map, whereas the opposing team covered almost 90% of the map. Which really annoyed me, so to be on the safe side; I've blocked that user from ever appearing in my matches.
Oh, and I might've found my go-to weapon being the Octobrush. Since while I started decently with the Splattershot Jr. when I was at Lv. 1, I started to lose traction with it, so now I'll be trying to use the Octobrush much more. (Also, there are so many damn Aerospray MG users nowadays. I mean, I understand why they want to use it because of easy EXP farming, but still; it's rather reptitive seeing them use that weapon over and over again, plus I think it's giving them tunnel vision.)
Freebie summon got me a +Spd, -HP 4* Cordelia. I kind of hoped I could get a Peri, Roderick, Nowi, or any blue I haven't summoned that is 3* to 4* summonable.
This woman. Refuses to show up every time I wanted to get her, especially when she was a bride of projectile doom, and now she's everywhere. Worst part is even if I wanted Galeforce, I'd have to promote her which is also the only way to get Brave Lance+ and T-Adept 3 from her. Otherwise, Pass 3. Ah, yes, the greatest of all skills... At least 4* Abel has Swordbreaker 3.
Anyway, it's a gloomy day today. Another fall semester begins on Wednesday and I really need to figure out what to pursue as a career. I've yet to find something that strikes me as "Yes! I need to do this!" Most of the stuff I like is more of a "Neat, that's cool." I'll need to search harder I suppose.
Oh, I have 82 orbs. Maybe I'll spend them since they're just there. *gets a CYL Lyn* This piece of crap game!
3* Eliwood: +Res, -HP.
3* Jagen: +Spd, -Def. You and Eliwood seriously need to leave me alone. I have enough of you two.
4* Leon: +Atk, -Def.
5* CYL Lyn: +Res, -HP.
3* Shanna: +Spd, -HP.
Mainly irritated that after dealing with getting no archers until like 20 summons in only to have that archer be free, getting crappy -Atk Rebecca and Setsuna, and not getting a good archer until Clarisse and later, a +Atk, -HP Rebecca; everyone gets a chance to get a guaranteed CYL character, so I'm guaranteed a CYL Lyn which feels like a pity summon and now I get another one of her and a +Atk Leon. Really game? Is this how it's going to be? What's next? A free red mage that is so freaking good that everyone gets 3 copies of them and then I get flooded with Celicas, Katarinas, Lilinas, Sanakis, and Tharjas?
The worst part is that since I don't use merged units, another CYL Lyn is basically useless to me outside of using her for skills. Also, kind of wished Leon wasn't -Def, but -Res instead. +Atk, -Def Leon is a much stronger Virion, but with less HP.

Yeah, that's 0 for 5 in getting any CYL unit that isn't Lyn. 2 for 5 in getting new units, though, with +Atk Leon being the highlight. Guess I'll get Lucina, Ike, and Roy eventually.
3* Barst: +HP, -Atk. Guess who was used to give CYL Lyn Reposition?
3* Clarine: +HP, -Spd. I wished your brother showed up instead. And away into the abyss you go.
3* Donnel: +Spd, -Res.
3* Florina: +Spd, -HP.
4* Stahl: +Res, -Atk.
Edit: Checked the other Clarines I have and I forgot I had a +Spd, -Atk one. Cool, I guess.

What was your Invisibility Power? (Actually @ all the Splat gorls, what was your Team Power?)
Reddit seemed to say that Shifty Station this time was almost always a complete stomp for 1 team, but it never really felt like that in my games.
The Octobrush is fantastic so it's a good weapon to try out! Just make sure that you can mash ZR fast enough with it
I don't think people are playing it to grind EXP, I feel like they genuinely think that the Aerospray is good when it's actually awful. In Turf Wars, idc; but people play it in Ranked as well at basically ALL ranks, and I haven't seen a single one do well ever. REMEMBER THAT IT WAS AWFUL IN SPLAT 1 AND IT WAS NERFED ON ITS WAY OVER TO 2 WHILE MOST OTHER WEAPONS WERE BUFFED SO THERE'S REALLY NO REASON TO EVER PLAY IT
Minmin and Mechanica is a pretty good ship tbh
OK so wtf am I supposed to do with a 24 SPD Ike? To get Quick Riposte 3 I would have to give up Beorc Blessing. If he gets the Wind Boost buff he can reach 34 SPD total with Hone SPD - assuming he surpasses the enemy's HP. And 34 SPD is usually not enough to stop being murdered by attackers but he can fight off Brave Nukers. I guess I can't use him efficiently? He's supposed to be stat-proof but I ain't seeing it, unless I just happened to get one of the worst combos to work with.
Also, I just remembered you said how Mercy's new Ultimate was bad because you couldn't teabag while flying. That's why Blizzard added a new emote she can only use while using her Ultimate. :^)
Ain't gonna lie. I am very jelly. I wanted a +SPD Peri (or +ATK) but I have literally never gotten a Peri like that. She is my murderous waifu. cricricri
But you'll eventually get Buffraim even though he's not as great or easy to get as Buffrika. His voice actor is the only reason he's even usable when compared to the Teal Gorl version of him. :^)

IIRC, -SPD is actually considered his best bane, cause with his A-skill is means he'll get a fully charged Aether after being doubled by a ranged unit or hit with a brave weapon to heal it right back up. I'm pretty sure that build also has you removing Beorc Blessing for Vantage or Quick Reposte depending on your preference, cause Panic Ploy 3 as his C skill accomplishes the same thing, only better.

+HP Boon because my luck only accounts for getting the characters, not getting the good IVs.
AtLeastThatMeansIGetA****TonOfFodder!
Tho I do have +ATK/-DEF Summer Xander and he is top tier because his voice lines and some castle quotes are hilarious. His buff body is super smooth. But his demeanor certainly is not. :^) His voicelines have subtext that basically say "I do not know what fun is" or "beaches are not fun to me because I will literally die if I go in the water."
Killer Axe+, Bonfire , Quick Riposte 3, Infantry Pulse 3. For his A Passive IDK yet. It's a toss up between:
1) Distant Counter (uuuuuuuuuh)
2) Fortress DEF 3 (35 def shiny abs and pecs of steel yeee)
3) Triangle Adept (typical anti-Blue/Green but OOPS CAN'T TOUCH REDS NOW)
4) HP+SPD 2 (+4 HP and +2 SPD sounds handy I guess; I lose a Slayer Sword+ fodder tho)
Other option is Killer Axe+, Sol (Aether when I get it), Renewal 3, and Infantry Pulse 3. This way he can remain an Infantry Pulse battery for an entire run of Tempest.
And whatever works in Tempest works elsewhere too, so I'm just building around that from now on. Though certain characters can keep Fury 3 like Azura since gorlo is already ridonk stat wise and she's dancing and attacking if she gets challenged to a sass-off. (spoiler: she wins every time oopsT)

My Xander is -HP/+DEF, which sucks cause Infantry Pulse is HP based.
I'm thinking I can fix that with throwing a HP+3 seal on him which unfortunately just brings him back up to his natural 43 (so no B!Lucina with him), Sword Ike, Mage Killer Julia, and either Robin or Nowi probably. That might work as a full infantry team.

the wording of it is, "from the second hit onwards," which implies that the second hit's power is reduced and anything past that is, too. that, and i'm pretty sure i've seen on the heroes subreddit that the second hit is reduced
they made ike to counter brave weapons, along with horse and flier emblem, which is like how lyn is supposed to counter blade tomes and dc units
i run lilith floatie/reposition/bonfire/fire boost/renewal/infantry pulse on my summer xander, and he does well. he was actually my go-to green unit that i used in the celica TT. the only thing is that res is absolutely pitiful, and it's even more exaggerated on mine since he's -res (but he's +atk which is gud). he literally has 13 res lol
It is. Brave Bow vs B!Ike gets all the hits reduced after the first one. As long as Ike doesn't interrupt with a counter attack, it reduces any consecutive attack after the first.
I could get him HP +5 pretty easily. The other HP passives aren't on characters I'm willing to give up, or just aren't willing to give up for that; have a poor IV Saber I'm happy to get rid of, but Slaying Edge+ is probably the most valuable thing he has. HP+5 would let me run basically any infantry with him, or let me swap out the seal...not that there's another seal I'd put on him.
Renewal makes sense for TT, I'd throw QR2 on him probably from a Subaki for the time being.
The Lilith Floatie stays, it's just too adorable. It's also why I wouldn't just SI Infantry Pulse onto someone like a +ATK Chrom with his 47 HP.

Is Fire Boost even useful in TT with the 40+ stats though?
Other than because he comes with it, is the 3 turn cooldown worth Bonfire on him over the 4 turn cooldown Ignis? It might be because of him being +DEF but he kills a huge amount of the game when it proccs.
I ran Summer Marx/Celica/Linde/dancer for the past TT and managed to do perfect runs most of the time. Tbh I mostly used Marx to bait enemy units into attacking me. Linde and Celica destroyed nearly everyone without any help
I'm sure there was a better a slot skill I could have given to Marx for TT, but I really didn't care enough to put the effort in to change it. My whole philosophy with training him up was just being as lazy as possilbe. That's why I kept his default kit
Ignis would be definitely be better if you're running QR tho
And speaking about infantry pulse, the best user is probably Bartre. iirc he has the highest hp of all infantry units, and he hits 52 hp with an hp boon. Too bad he's just a meme to most people
While checking my ranking on team Ike, I found the greatest coincidence ever.
I doubt that's the real Keitaro, but a player with the username Falco-des having the same ranking as him is just perfect. Oh, and one player is one letter off from Ally which would also make sense since Ally played Ike in PM. Falco, Keitaro, and almost Ally all like Ike... Maybe Falco likes him a bit more.
If anyone's wondering, Keitaro's CYL Lyn is running her default skills and has Vengeance for some reason... I have no idea why or where she got it from since the only units with Vengeance are Narcian, Takumi, and Tharja. His CYL Lyn has none of their other skills.
Speaking of people on the ranking, I saw Burgundy
a couple hours ago. I had to check if it was the same Cecilia and yep, it was you. I think that's the first time I've seen someone on my friend's list on the Voting Gauntlet's ranking. I've yet to run into anyone in arena.
Okay gorls I need more Heroes help, this time with Close Counter instead of Distant ActuallyAGoodSkill Counter
So a while back, I got a random Takumi and I've been wondering who to give Close Counter to (he's -Atk so I'm not using him). My 3 choices are Henry, Leon, and Boey.
Boey is my least favorite of the 3 but I know he's the best one stat-wise. My best one is +Def -Spd.
Henry has awful stats but I've wanted to build one forever. It seems like CC is his only real option for an A skill but he's still just okay and the other 2 are better options. My best one is +Atk -Spd.
Leon is the middle choice as I like his character a bit and his stats are nice. My best one is +Def -HP.
So which one should I go with?
I asked this on reddit and made an account on Gamepress to ask it there too. The 1 response I got on reddit was "use brave bow leon" and the gamepress response was "use merric or wait for someone better"
Okay so I'll turn my Leon into literally every other archer even though he doesn't have the IV's for it and others do it better, and give this creepo Harry Potter cosplayer that I didn't even mention the skill instead even though he has less HP, Atk, and Def than Boey making him clearly a better candidate for CC.

Give it to Odin, promise it'll be worth it.
In all seriousness, I think Boey would appreciate it the most, pair it with vantage and ignis and he'll potentially do a ton of unavoidable damage to almost anyone or pair it with quick riposte to get a double

Considering he's -Spd, QR would probably be the better option. Unless Axebreaker would work better idk
The Gamepress thread got a second response!
"Give it to Matthew"
Why would I build up Hone Spd fodder? That's like training up Alm instead of giving someone else that can actually Windsweep Windsweep O wait...
Morning I Completely Forgot About TLink mains. How's everyone doing?
Got completely drenched today, since I was asked to come in to cover for two people who couldn't do their rounds. Thankfully I've gone and have a shower to at least clean myself.
Also, Cress!
My Power was I think close to 1700 or 1800. It was either 1696.7 or 1796.7. Though it was very shaky, since I would often switch weapons to try out.
I was trying out the Splatbrella, Aerospray MG, Roller and now Octobrush during the Splatfest. And out of them all, I vastly prefer the Octobrush. On the plus side, I also got a new piece of clothing from Grizzco during the Salmon Run. A striped t-shirt. And I've decided to get all slots for my Hair Pin, Shirt and those Crocs with the green fluffy socks (Yes, I've forgotten the name of them). I might try and use the Schoolgirl Uniform again.
I saw the Top 8 of PAX Arena. I was not expecting much of GF and I was right. So I was left disappointed.
1st. ZeRo
2nd. Nairo
3rd. Salem
4th. Ally
5th.VoiD
5th. Konga
7th. ANTi
7th. Larry Lurr
Konga played fantastic though. His DK is really good, like how HIKARU's DK is as well.
And one more thing, I have now done the 5th and Final Run in Sonic Mania. The Knuckles & Knuckles Run. The ending is just silly and I love it. <3

The Hector Tempest shouldn't be too hard, I myself have every bonus unit but Lyn, so building a good team shouldn't be too hard.
I'm really glad Ninian is a bonus unit so maybe she can finally get herself together and actually fight and earn sp.
Also as a heads up for thot patrol: It's likely we'll be getting a bonus hour at noon EST, so keep watch
I'll laugh if Sakura ends up being a better archer than Takumi in FE Warriors. And on the subject of new characters, Ultimecia was revealed for Dissidia NT.
Edit: Freebie summon from the mini-Tempest Trial was a +Res, -HP 3* Frederick. =Atk 3* Cherche would have been better...
Y'know, after arriving home and discovering that there's another hurricane in America, I collected my thoughts of Hurricane Harvey, President Trump, Charlottesville and North Korea and came to the completely stunning and unthinkinable conclusion that this year might not have been the best for the USA.

If you give her Triangle Adept then +Atk will be great and then -HP can be fixed with one of the +3 HP Seals. TA3 will also help keep her alive easier. -Def is not a good idea since she's already as fragile as that dinky glass chunk she tries to pass off as a Dragon Stone.
Maybe Lightning Breath for a built in Distant Counter.

here's to hoping camilla gets another bonus multiplier at the end of the round
there's probably not enough time left for that to happen, but it would be hilarious if she were able to pull a bull**** win against the most popular fire emblem character

Can I sue FEH for basically stealing Summer Husbando Xander's outfit from me? :^)
btw can you gorls help me pick a color of this avatar set? I wanna buy this set for male mage (bottom left corner) but IDK what color looks the best. Toggle the different colors by hitting Type A/Type B/etc. The F.Slayer/Thief/F.Mage/Knight looks positively fancy tho. Dress Up Fighter Online at it again. cricricri
While Camilla is a total heaux, we can at least all agree that she takes her boob safety quite seriously. I've never seen a gorl use a boob seat belt/cape combo to prevent blunt trauma in case of a flying accident. 10/10
