It looks so weird seeing them using smartphones. Also, Chinese overdesign strikes, neck bowtie (how does it even stay on), whatever black thing on Saber's shoulder and random small belt on one of her leg. Tiny armor shoulder piece because MHY can't commit having female characters have a bit of armor outfit.

I feel the pain of draining resources to build both Ciaccona and aero Rover.
Beside Cia's resonance liberation, her intro, resonance skill, basic attack 4 and full forte heavy attack apply one aero erosion stack.
These Cia's clones (sylph) give 24% Aero damage bonus nearby characters, having one sylph is enough, their buff don't stack. Summoning sylph is basic attack after basic attack 4. Good thing is her basic attack string isn't interrupted with normal dodging, no worry on taking too long to set up a buff. The sylphs' buffing range is pretty huge.

For now, having both on a team is decent enough as pseudo quick swap. Both use Gust Welkin set and have Carte's sword as 4-cost echo because additional damage is good.
My A.rover just has to cope with subpar crit stats. Although if any wanna farm new aero set next patch that can help.
A.rover is missing resonance chain, so can only heal with liberation is kinda scuffed. Need C2 to have healing on r.skill.
Edit: nevermind, aero rover can also heal with air attack after intro or after resonance skill.

Whimpering Waste. Ciaccona is very nice for Phoebe. Although, I'd think standard banner gun is better as Phoebe support, more ER and ATK buff. Ciaccona definitely needs some Energy Regen (130) for more consistent Liberation usage, but it isn't really a big deal.

I'm wondering what kind of characters ZZZ 2.1 onward might have.
Idols would be ideal (teased since 1.5, pretty much confirmed with a vocaloid commission),
Lucia would finally bring an S-rank physical attacker that isn't dogshit,
Orpheus I don't really care much for, seeing as Obol squad is full of awful, barely usable units,
maybe a new Void Hunter (aren't there only 6 of them, most of them MIA?),
there's also some NPCs with a fuckton of lines in 2.0, I'm not looking forward to any of them.

All I see is a painful lack of Fire element DPS units, we have S11 (unusable without Lighter), Evelyn and Burnice (not a solo DPS). Ju Fufu is built like a sub-DPS (she needs 50% cr and 3400 ATK). I remind you that there will be a DA and Shiyu with 2 fire bosses (1 fire/ether), so expect more of those in 2.x.

I wonder if they are going to buff characters that aren't in the limited pool and don't have Lost Void gear, like Grace - she is probably the worst agent right now. Absolutely awful buildup, engine that doesn't supplement her kit at all, and overall low stats (most likely undertuned on purpose because of the potential "free" M6 after 2 more years or 4000 more dollars).

I think the thought is that Alice and Racoon girl are 2.1 given the amount of voice lines they have. Figure pretty much everyone in the trailer will be playable plus the Idols and MAAAAYBE Sarah. Lucia was supposedly mentioned in the dialogue so seems like she'll come eventually. Unless some of these characters are A Ranks, seems like there are a lot of characters coming. Excited to see them in 3D tomorrow, especially my girl Alice.

So she's the demonic live child of Abundance and Erudition.

Mmm now that's "good" game design.

I love how describing their kits sounds how absurd things got. It's crazyo think these two are in the same game.

Argenti's passive gives him 2.5 x 10 crit but only if you land 10 hits and his first trace is that he starts with 1 stack for free (this might be unironically the worst trace in the game).

Meanwhile Hyacine passive gives her 80% x 3 dmg bonus for healing automatically and her first trace gives her 100% crit rate on for free AND healing bonus.

Another funny thing is that both Saber ult is AoE + 10 bounces and Phainon can choose to do single, blast or AoE, meaning we finally got destruction unit with better AoE than eruditions and single target than hunts.

STAR RAIL FATE COLLAB LEAKS
Click to expand...

I don't know shit about fate and i find this crossover criminally dissapointing. Saber is perhaps the most iconic armored waifu in anime and Da Wei would rather die than allowing one in his game. Archer has perhaps the most iconic "domain expansion" ever and they made it a lame single target explosion that isn't even his main gimmick isn't even original (qinque/daniel). He probably won't say the entire chant so what's the point.

Did anyone know there is a shitty fate fighting game on ps2 where, in order to summon unlimited blade works, the archer player has to spend six bars (max is 3) where each bar he'll do nothing but say one single line of the entire chant? ("I am the bone of my blade...") And only THEN you do the special and it changes the stage and he gets stronger and unlocks the sword rain super move. It's super stupid but the effort to make it like this is impressive.

Meanwhile star rail can't even give him an actual field change, which is hilarious because i saw every leaker theorizing the field change mechanic was made for Archer, just like so many theorized they would be rememberance (because they're literal summons). I guess it made too much sense.

It would make more sense if had phainon kit but they made him 5* qinque hunt. And both him and saber look lame compared to phainon, who is on a complete different level of presentation and spectacle (big spoilers). He probably stole midey and anaxa's animation budget.
 
Well then, 30 pulls and zero expectations.
oh hey there.webp
Might as well get her weapon too, then see if I can grab Changli or little Italian child from the anniversary banner. Also, her ultimate is really cute.

WuWa gave us Nun Robin and now female Venti. Interesting.

On a less amused note, holy fuck shit is glitchy as fuck. My internet connection is fine but the dungeon crawler event has some horrible lag and bugs. In fact it actually makes fights harder even if you go in 15 levels above or soemthing and it only happens during boss fights.

I bet he's one of the special chosen ones with a distinct energy meter. Like Feixiao and Acheron and Castorice, while everyone else, even Trailblazer, gets a normal circle because they are disgusting peasants.

I am most likely wrong here but it's only those three, yeah?

Click to expand...
No that was Castorice. Stank to high heaven of too much effort. I have no doubt said it before in this thread, but the Castorice effort came at the cost of Anaxa's entire thing. Dude was a side character to his own damn patch.

And the bitch died at the end of it too.

Rememberance: We can't remember to make our shit have reason.

Speaking of Star Rail, I do like the galactic baseball event but sweet mighty jesus, the racoon fuck needs to shut up. It's also rather annoying that the text is so slow and you cannot click through until everything has been written out.

Come on, MHY. I know a chunk of your audience are a bunch of retarded children and teenagers but you don't have to treat the rest of us the same way.
Reading speeds are a thing.

Yeah, he is reverse acheron in the sense he has 12 stacks but he gets them by receiving direct buffs from allies. His ult basically turns into god mode and switch the field to become the only playable character for 8 turns where he can choose between 3 (break piercing?) attacks, gets a counter and his buffs do not go away (that's why his set only gives 40% bonus for "one attack", it lasts the whole 8 turns). After it ends he does one final ultimate move and he's back. He's the ultimate "solo hypercarry".

I don't know if it's true or already said ingame but the leaks are saying Phainon is actually (big spoilers?) an emanator of destruction and that's why he's so powerful. One glance at his supermode and that makes sense since he looks like Nanook.

Goodness what is his incredibly broken universal passive then? If he has any.

Also what shape is his ultimate meter in lol?

All joking aside, I am dreading what the game will look like in, say, a year from now and how batshit the powercreep will be.

Yeah, Saber is one of the characters where her default appearance is just enough by itself, it's iconic and functional, and most VN readers would vividly remember her as the Girl in Silver, not whatever they've done with her design for the collab.

IIRC the MHY designers have a fetish for it or something, it's on pretty much every character from every game they make, here are some examples from HSR but you'd recognize em from Genshin as well ( think Eula, Chasca, hell even Lyney ). Stelle has an ugly teal belt that's far too wide and clashes with her outfit.

How to design a Hoyo character 101:

1. Overdesigned and/or outright nonsensical outfits
2. If long hair, make it split down the middle or make it a rat tail
3. Thigh belt cuz why not

These aren't necessarily bad, but personally I'd love to see more Kafka/Jingliu/Yelan/Raiden types of characters that are super iconic and unique, the recent Natlan ones haven't been hitting for me, Amphoreus is a hit or miss as well.

Fate/Unlimited Codes, yeah — many of us had hoped it would be similar too, with Archer's ult opening the UBW marble like Castorice's territory, then switching to a different kit for his powered up state ( this is what they did with Phainon instead btw ).

Kinda feels like they went with the bare minimum, but then again this is a collab specifically with the Ufotable adaptation of the UBW route, so I guess they couldn't add stuff from other routes or Grand Order. Like WuWa doing a collab with only the Edgerunners anime and not Cyberpunk as a whole.
 
This is so fucking retarded. Do they not want me to warp?

I love the current HSR event, it's definitely one of the most fun kinds of em and definitely pushes the game structure to its fullest extent, I remember enjoying one of the previous iterations that ran last May; rarely do I voluntarily spend hours playing gacha games just for fun alone, but good on them for doing this.


Rip WuWa man, I was indifferent to the anniversary rewards ( typical gacha stuff ), I was just pissed that the anniversary event was so dry — you had a board game where you just clicked a single button, and what was basically a reskin of the the same recycled combat event they do every patch, just with some cubes. Got Zani and her weapon when the patch dropped, then uninstalled the next day when I actually tried her out and found out she was completely cucked by frazzle stacks, and my Phoebe was dealing more damage anyway.

By any chance, are you using a controller? Because whenever I press a button, it does nothing to speed up the dialog. However, using the mouse works.

Compared to HSRs, it was a step up, but it was still rather lackluster. Pheebi-chubi will forever be stuck in my head, much like "The fish are over there!".

Oh and today's ZZZs stream for 2.0. I almost forgot.

Indeed I am. In truth it's mainly only worse in that one racoon event but I might try this method with regular story shit.

Yes.

Redeem code is: ZZZANNIVERSARY

Phase 1.
Anby-I mean big titty China waifu Yixuan will have her banner with Astra rerun.

Phase 2
Tiger loli-I mean Ju Fufu will run with Caesar.

Also some notes for features.

"Revamped Map Experience
Starting Version 2.0, maps have been completely revamped with the residential areas and the combat zones integrated together for a smoother experience.

A larger map format will replace the map sliding selection and there will be a mini-map with additional navigation features."

So it's an open world game now. Jeez this is turning into Genshin/Star Rail. Killing all the hub worlds so we can have another open world gacha action game.

"After switching to the DPS, the other agents will still be on the field and attack the enemies. Older agents will have updates to their gameplay to reflect that"

????

This can go many ways. I'm not too excited.

"No Need For the HDD System
Since the Phaethon Siblings will be fully capable of exploring the Hollow themselves, they will no longer need to use the Hollow Deep Dive (HDD) System"

Thank you fuck you bye, Fairy

There's more but those were the ones that made my brows twitch.

No Yanagi rerun yet so....see you in phase 2 for Cesar.
