I just think she's neat. :)

(Not so) fun fact: Xinyan is one of the only characters (if not THE only character) who doesn't appear in the game outside of limited time events.
>Doesn't appear in any Archon Quests
>Doesn't appear in any World Quests
>Doesn't appear in any Story Quests
>Doesn't have her own 4* hangout event

I don't care if she's a 1.x character, she's still one of my favorites.
She really did get done dirty. I can guarantee if Genshin ever adds the character enhancement system, she'll get skipped

it's because she's brown

stygian onslaught wasn't nearly as bad as i expected. difficulty 6 is still out of reach for most players but i think if you have some 5 stars with multiple constellations and good weapons it's doable without huge investment, at least for simply clearing it. getting the best rewards will require giga-whale teams though. starting with zero energy is a massive handicap, i really hope this doesn't continue to be the direction for "difficult" content going forward.

fischl was a mistake, she's nearly unusable without being able to rotate between skill/burst from the start and spent half the fight doing nothing.
 
That previous leak map from shiroha was worthless, they changed their mind on everything so now i don't trust them anymore. This is that time of the year where leakers just make shit up all the time.

I tried stygian onslaugh and oh boy i'm getting FILTERED. I'm straight up not beating level 5 so level 6 is a long foregone dream, and so are the weapon skins. I can't even get Tulpa on level 5 on time (why the fuck does it get a SHIELD and if you don't break it ONESHOTS you?? It already gets regeneration!) so there is no fucking way i'm passing lava dragon without a burn team anyway.

People who will never clear it are defending it anyway.

I wish the worst upon the genshin redditors.

All i wanted was a fun coop mode and i don't see how this even achieves that. Difficulty 3 is just artifact farming but slow and shit cause it's bosses and you stat with no energy. Difficulty 4 is coopable but you'll only do it once per patch so why bother if you can clear abyss already. Difficulty 5 is not coopable so you're filtered out of one artifact reroll. I won't even mention difficulty 6.

>Inb4 skill issue

Persona 5x, silver and blood and uma musume preload started btw. 3 gachas in the same day.
 
Is this the one that was trying to plagiarize Reverse 1999?
Yes it was.

However it got a lot of buzz appearently regardless.

Speaking of buzz, NTE just dropped the opening animation. Be warned, there's a Doberman furry-I mean it's in English.

And time for some Lols.

Blackstorm, the studio behind Rememento, the game I've been shitting on throughout this thread is crashing and burning hard.

They cut almost three-quarters of their staff. The game is going to continue operation for the time being but even they say it's uncertain if they can turn this shit around. (IMO it's EOS ASAP). A whole 70%. Jesus fucking Bombshell Christ. Wow!

:story: :stress: :story:
Rip Lucas, the only character I liked in that game. Oh well. I am going to eat all the Buster Wolves in the world if this game lasts a year. It barely managed six months.

Actual sauce: heads up, it's in Korean.

If your Arlecchino is well built enough you should be able to clear Lava Dragon by slotting in Nahida or Yaoyao if you don't have Nahida. You won't be able to use Chevreuse but the faster shield breaks from Burning makes up for it. Use Arle E and her QE to funnel Xiangling. Either that or keep trying with the Chev team but really make sure you enter vulnerable phase with max Arle BoL. Chev c4 QEEE helps against the shield.

You should also definitely be able to clear Tulpa since you have the Premium Mav team. Sac Frags Citlali helps a lot. She can use the Sac proc to one shot kill both Mini Tulpas and the double E means she can ignore using her burst.

Source Automaton is your big problem you really need constant rapid Cryo to keep its gauge down. You'd need to either give Ayaka more ER make sure she always bursts off cooldown while Neuv dpses it down or switch to focusing on Ayaka dps and replace Neuv with Charlotte

Guys arlechino is one person, she's not going to solo lava dragon when she can't do damage for 90% of the fight. I also don't have emilie, varesa or iansan and my mavuika turned out to be a #Fraud so i had to use hyperbloom haitham/nahida/raiden/kuki to kill tulpa and it was annoying as hell.

All i have is the excuse that either my router is dying, my brazilian ping is unplayable or hoyo servers are thrash cause it takes 2+ seconds to switch characters and i keep getting random lag spikes and even DCs. I don't know if it's just me but it's been like this since forever, if it's me feel free to dismiss it as coping and having shit internet.

There is still time to be fair. If iansan reruns with mavuika/emilie i'll try to get her at least c2 and see if i win 50/50 on emilie and that should make lava dragon manageable (on paper). I don't like her but i guess i can't whine about lava dragon and papilla forever...

Fun fact: Next stigyan will feat

-Papilla but 150 hit voidshield: wallahi i'm finished, kinich really shotting anyone who skipped him (i find him unplayable due to lag). Maybe pyro traveler + emilie could work surely (if i even get her). Chasca should rerun in 5.8 too but i don't know if she would be enough.

-Thunder turtle cocijo but his rage charge degenerates overtime: This is an obvious mualani boss, she's one of the few units that can do slow strong hits and not let it shield. This means she'll definitely rerun in 5.8.

-Sombrero cactus: This isn't a boss that a new local legend, his gimmick is that he spawns some sombreros and if you electrocharge all of them you charge a bar that stuns him. This happens faster with Ineffa's electro charge.

1750894389472.webp (he looks like a digimon)

They really star railing these bosses where you counter the gimmick and the boss kills itself. Maaan i'm not really into ineffa or electrocharge, i want to save for varka and dottore...
 
Yikes...all of a sudden I don't think my characters stand a chance in Stigyan. I'm not even done upgrading my Skirk and I lack Mavuika, man.
The reroll feather in level 5 is good but, yeaaah like above said it's not really worth stressing over. Doesn't even give general mats like abyss for clearing it.

Difficulty 3 is overworld level and gives gems and difficulty 4 is basically abyss level but coopable if you don't have 3 teams.

Spending 1200 resin in 10 days gives you +10 artifacts and an extra reroll feather so it's worth doing if you're farming artifacts anyway but i don't get the 10 day limit. Doesn't count as domain clear or boss for battle pass purposes either.

edit: I was half wrong, i wanted to try level 4 on coop for fun and there is no matchmaking option lol, you would need to ask a friend to carry. This is just artifact farm and 3 team abyss...

Played a little P5X. It's Persona 5 at home, which isn't terrible.

Also, if Whims of Fate doesn't play when we inevitably go back to the Casino, I'm uninstalling on the spot

Don't forget to let us know what you think.

Personally I'm not too hot on the gameplay but I was curious. The keyword is was.

More plagiarism, baby! They didn't just steal from R1999, they stole from Bayonetta too.

They litterally just stole the fucking Umbra Witch symbol from Bayonetta.

They really don't give a shit, huh?

However if the game is fun enough, I may check it out.

Edit; tried to find out more about the characters and came across a dude that looks similar to the Onion Knight from Dark Souls.

Oof.

Pardon the potato quality, there's no high-res photos of this dude.

First, the NPCs remind me too much of Genshin/HSR NPCs and that's not a compliment
Furry feels like its there for the Lyacon audience. ZZZ is better at integrating the furry shit
Otherwise, I feel like it's trying too hard. It doesn't really set up the world and is trying for set pieces rather than introducing you to what the game is suppose to be. It felt more like a trailer for those characters. I think it would have been better for it to focus on the MC. The GTA one looks better. This one is forgettable.

That is my biggest gripe with it as well. We see these who-the-fucks, and it's like "huh?"

Granted, Star Rail had something similar with Kafka and Silver Wolf, but it felt more organic. With that in mind, could it be that we'd get a similar situation where we get introduced to the world and stuff through these who-the-fucks before the real adventure begins?

Since I've been procrastinating at work, I hada chance to play for a bit and cleared the first chapter.

The animations are nice, but there's some syncing issues with EN. Speaking of which, the EN VAs are very good.

Gameplay is like Nikke, with some tactical(?) elements thrown in. You place your characters in a grid. It's also an auto battler. As you fight, you accumulate, emm I think blood points, which are used to cast ultimates. Like Nikke, it has a burst system. Each character has a designation of Full Moon, Crescent Moon, and New Moon. These are your B1s, B2s, B3s. When you cast ultimates of each moon, you enter the burst mode, which decreases the points used to cast ults and increases your damage.

Even the gacha is reminiscent of Nikke. There's no pity. Getting dupes of a character limit breaks them and increases their power and max level. It features, like Nikke, a wishing system and molds. I'll give them props on the molds: there are 2 molds, SSR and SR. You get only SSRs from the SSR mold, and SRs with a tiny chance of SSRs from the SR mold.


I've been playing on mobile with no issues. Game hasn't crashed and runs fine. I'll check PC once I get home.

Edit: Game doesn't work on PC. Trying to find solution. They have a Discord but it's getting spammed with animal gore.
