Poor Dian Wei, I'll always vote for you buddy. I seriously can't believe that way back in DW2 I picked that bald bastard and he's still my favourite, Wan castle is almost guaranteed to be a awesome cut scene filled stage in every title.

One of these days they'll give Dian Wei his true weapon.

Dual wielding people.

"Throwing it aside he seized a couple of soldiers and with their bodies as weapons felled ten of his opponents. The others dared not approach, but they shot arrows at him. These fell thick as rain, but he still maintained the gate against the assailants."

I know, i was (half) joking. It's basically luck of the draw which of the two they manage to make interesting in each new installment. I still have a soft spot for Xian from DW6, where she was my favorite no-fucks-given efficient little murder tornado.

What i actually can't fathom is how the Japanese fanbase ranks Sun Jian below Sun QUAN. Like what the gently caress.

Dunno if there's a better thread to ask this in but in Fate Extella are the alpha versions of skills always better than the base ones even if they have a lower + number?
I wish I could see actual numerical values of the installs skills I'm equipping.

E: nevermind you can sort them by power and I can see they're not.

Well it has more of a self insert blank slate protagonist rather than the usual unhinged narrative from a protagonist of questionable mental health that nasu's writing usually stars. Honestly the only thing I'm missing from it.

Hey, the protagonist is pretty abnormal. They've been split into three incomplete individuals - Mind, Body, and Soul - via a magical mishap. You start out playing as the Mind, who's a ball of raw emotion who's permanently DTF. Seriously, whenever they and Nero are offscreen, they must be demolishing every bed in their empire.

Fate/Extella is pretty fun, though it's real rough starting at lv1 with Caster from Saber.

I don't think Saber knows what to do beyond holding hands, honestly. It's Caster who is the one who is DTF except not actually. Time to start Altera's story to find out what her deal is.

She's way too slidey, though better when I realised just heavy attack on its own was her best crowd clearer.

She's really excellent at killing plants though. H2 (popup) -> aerial combo -> H3 (the fire blast).

I'm finding Altera really awkward to use, though her sheer power does help.

She gets a lot better after you have the 4 combo>heavy attack tail whip thing unlocked, but otherwise it's a lot of that.

I think I took like 40 minutes on her first level.

Well, I finished Extella's main story. I'll be honest: despite all the silliness and rampant fanservice, I still thought it was pretty well-written, and I enjoyed the plot. And, despite the lack of variety, I enjoyed the gameplay too. I don't play Musou games for their deep gameplay, and this wasn't much different.

Now I just need to unlock Arturia and get to the side stories.

Tamamo gets much easier when you figure out the one simple trick you have in your arsenal from day one - her square-square-triangle flamethrower. Set that up, spin her around to hit a whole bunch of enemies at once, and you'll rack up your combo meter absurdly fast, giving her an incredibly short downtime between her transformations - and as anybody knows, a transformed Servant is near-unkillable death to anything in the field.

Well, there he was just a costume. Unless you're referring to something else.

He's certainly his own beast from the standard Nobunaga.
