Meiteron posted:I don't know if there's specific releases yet for update cadence but for the short term you could probably expect it to be similar to Genshin - 6 weeks and change between patches. The game's progression structures are so identical to Genshin that you can ballpark the next patch just by looking at banner timers or when the battle pass is intended to expire. If I had to draw my own conclusions I would assume they would alternate, as Genshin does, between patches that move the story forward or add new explorable spaces, and patches that add some QoL and temporary side events. Considering that each main destination will likely revolve around a specific Aeon, and there are 16 Aeons, and they plan for the story to take six years, that would indicate a new destination every 4-5 months.

I like how the protagonist is almost always an rear end in a top hat when texting and makes fun of people constantly.

Bruceski posted:First world ending rant: Yes, it's about keeping the Stellaron secret; very few people were even allowed to know that it exists or that it was the reason the Eternal Freeze kept happening and the Fragmentum kept expanding. They have, in fact, been 'poking that thing' to some extent, they've just been keeping it secret. Part of Svarog's memories features a part where there's an older researcher talking about researching the Stellaron to a younger one, and then it cuts to later where the older researcher has spent his entire life researching it and both hasn't been able to come to a breakthrough and has been ordered to keep all his research secret. They've been fighting the Stellaron until Cocolia, yes, but they've been actively hampering the possibility of finding a solution since they found out about it. ...Which is why Bronya deciding to keep what truly happened a secret a weird-rear end decision.

Grabbed a second Welt about 15 rolls into the standard banner, I guess it is good because it did waste many pity rolls, but it would have been nice to have more variety to play with. Also, am I playing wrong? It feels like I need to have March and Natasha in my group at all times for the amount of damage that tougher fights put out.

How can we not bully March? She came out of an iceberg with no memories and said "I'll name myself after the date I was rescued" and went with March 7th. Instead of going for the much more sensible option of like Tuesday or something. Hell even just March without the date on the end would've been less silly. I mean I love her anyways she's a dweeb. The first time I saw some beta footage of the game I legit thought she had like some kind of weird placeholder name for a split second for beta footage.

The correct philosophy is not to bully march, it's to pick the dialogue option that gives your traveler that fantastic smug face. Nine times out of ten, this is from bullying march. It's kinda annoying that add-on elements don't affect shields. I was all set to make use of this fox lady, but her electric addon not doing anything to shields makes it pretty hard to convince myself it's worth bringing her. Same goes for serval over herta, really. Doesn't help that these iceworld robots aren't just all weak to electric, you still have random things that are weak to wind or whatever the gold scale thing that isn't geo. I get wanting to make enemy design work with the team you're guaranteed to have, but it seems like a pretty massive penalty to not be able to break stuff, and that's a pain. Especially when the game seems rather keen on tossing you into battles without being able to see the encounter's weaknesses. Kyrosiris posted:

I'm enjoying the "regular" (non-story/companion) quests in this, or at least the space station ones. They seem more interesting than the Genshin equivalents and often involve weird sci-fi stuff. These memory bubble things are also pretty weird/interesting. Reminds me of those text bits in Nier. Edit: Which of the 4* (+ Trailblazer) Destruction people is best? I've been investing in Trailblazer, but there's also Hook and Arlan. Arlan has an element no one else I use has (other than Bailu, who rarely attacks). I have two 4* Destruction Light Cones, so I'm not sure who to give the second. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Apr 29, 2023 |

The text cuts off, but does that make healing convert into some damage? That'd be really nice. My Bailu is just using a 4* that increases Energy Regen + Ultimate Healing (which seems good since I do most of her healing via her Ultimate).

It doesn’t really work in World 3 either because Gepard isn’t immune but he’s very resistant to it, though with the blessing that lowers their freeze res I guess it could work. Perma-freeze also absolutely gimps Clara’s damage so I can only sort of use it anyway. Eventually the freeze won’t stick and I’m being ground down slowly. But I’m also punching way up since I’m stuck at level 40 right now.

Depending on what counts as "wearer healing allies" that seems like it would combo well with all of Bailu's incidental stuff.

The end of the first planet was cool. Bronya and Seele deciding it's absolutely imperative to make a martyr out of Cocolia bugged me, and I think it would have been more interesting if there had at least been some more tension about that beyond March being a little uncomfortable and everyone basically being like lol no to MC. I feel a little 'am I really spending this much time on a phone game?' guilt, so I'll probably try to slow down a bit, but it's been fun riding the hype train, and the game's solid, so I'm definitely sticking with it. Dailies being super fast will help when I don't feel like devoting a ton of time to it.

Clarste posted:Choose Path of Remembrance, keep everything frozen 24-7 until they die. Doesn't work in World 4 because the boss is immune to freeze. Once again, can you explain? I've tried this a couple of times, with Pela on the team doing her best to keep Freeze up in between Path Resonances, but Frozen usually only lasts a turn or two. Gepard puts up a gigantic Shield For All buff in Phases 2 and 3, Pela can't remove it, and while it's up they just pelt everybody non-stop. Are there specific Remembrance Blessing or Path things that make that work much better? One of the blessings I tried on my last attempt was one that split damage between all units; I tried that, hoping that MC's damage reduction would happen first and Bailu's heals could spread around evenly. Couldn't clear phase 2 with that.

There are a couple of Hunt blessings that do work in boss fights, but a lot of them just help against trash, which shouldn't be where you want help.

delfin posted:Once again, can you explain? Well, it really depends on what else you have, but I had the Path Resonance lasting 2 turns, another free freeze at 50% HP, and March's ult with a bunch of resistance down buffs making it more reliable. Which, plus a bunch of speed bonuses for never getting hit (from The Hunt) gave me enough turns to keep the cycle up indefinitely. The boss never even had a chance to put up a shield, because he never got an action.

delfin posted:Once again, can you explain? I didn’t use remembrance for worlds 3 and 4 but the whole game plan for me was getting as many things that lower freeze res, including the one for the path ability, as well as the blessings that freeze enemies after x hits, at a low chance, and on break. From there getting blessings that inflict dissonance are just a bonus to keeping them locked up as much as possible. For the world 5 boss I would save the path ability for whenever the boss phased or got a turn and would use it between their turn and extra action so they wouldn’t unfreeze. I didn’t use any actual ice characters since I could pretty easily stay alive until I got freeze going with blessings before the boss. For worlds 3 and 4 I was just using preservation path and also stacking hunt cards and just brute forced my way through the bosses. Gepard kicked my rear end before I was 50 but was a cakewalk once I was leveled up. There’s defense reduction based on the difference in level between you and an enemy, so a higher level enemy is hard to deal damage to and also will beat your rear end.
