Well that's the story and boss caught up on. Solid, but I do have to agree that it doesn't quite reach the heights of Belobog. Though maybe the post-boss story wrap-up will build on that. As for the actual boss - phew, that might be a tough one for the weekly raids. I went in with Fireblazer, Natasha, Tingyun, and Story Character. Tingyun got knocked out when I had bad luck with her being low at a phase transition, because of course Tingyun got knocked out. Probably going to ditch Natasha for farming that - cleansing the debuff and having skill points for attacks just feels too tight. Bailu just needs some better relics and then I should be golden once I figure out my DPS for it.

Still need to download the update on my PC, so haven't done the new stuff yet. I normally play on my phone, but use the PC for actual new story content. Going to try and do it tonight, since I want to be able to get these new relics. Speaking of new relics, how are the new ornaments? I did run the new SU once*. Not sure what to make of the ornaments. The party-wise CDMG buff seems like it could be good, but I don't have anyone I deliberately try and stack Effect Resistance on. And not sure how the other Crit Rate one compares with the other DPS ornaments. * is the new path not available yet, or do you need to finish the new story content first?

Finished the new main story. I really liked the music. Story was interesting but yeah I'd had some of it spoiled for me ages ago on reddit. Mostly unintentionally though I did go looking ahead at upcoming characters when I first got into the game. It is weird that the story beats felt like more of a character advertisement for Jing Yuan and Dan rather than Blade or Kafka. Though I guess Kafka already got her in game ad a few times. Speculation I do wonder if the next planet will have a March 7th 5* and we won't get another MC path until next year sometime. bagrada fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Jul 19, 2023 |

Though maybe the post-boss story wrap-up will build on that. Boss is just rough in general with how many turns she and her adds get and how SP starved you are. Almost seems like a dps race to get her down while healing to try and keep said DPS alive until the end.

Kyrosiris posted:I didn't have any issues with SP starvation, but Sampo Gang Rise Up, gently caress Your Flowers Yeah, I just did the raid with Fireblazer, Sampo, Serval, and Bailu - worked pretty well, even with an under leveled Sampo and under geared Bailu. Though that was a very SP positive team, so not sure how others will deal with that part of the boss mechanics.

New world boss has a potential to be a real pain in the rear end since it can kill a full 3.5k+ hp character in one uninterrupted sequence of events. If one of the debuff flowers acts between your dispel character and the boss turns, the boss can just kill the debuffed character with an the aoe attack + poke. I had this happen both vs the story version and the world boss version once. Gepard is probably the best counter we have to the boss rng deaths.

Coasters on point. Having a chance to feel him in game a bit, all I can say is I really want New Dan. Is he optimal for what I'm doing right this second, no, but I just love doing a million attacks. Making him the robot for this fight was also a nice way to put him over. I will say that one thing that felt weird about the fight is how it seemed tailored for Dan. It's a bunch of flowers that when you pop them give you SP. It seems like the sort of place where he, specifically, would absolutely clean up.....but they made him the robot. Rather than the General, whose thing is summoning a giant magic robot thing. Odd choice, but I dug his R move so I'll take it. Mulva fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Jul 19, 2023 |

My one big pain point thus far is that we didn't get a kick rear end new song. it kind of signposts that there's still more important story to come. Also like technically Luocha showed up but he didn't do anything. Lame.

Spent all my passes and stellar jade on the Blade banner. Didn't get Blade. Now I have to actually do content and hope I pull him before he disappears. Feels bad after pulling Luocha in my first 10 pulls on his banner.

Do you lose the attempt if you die in EoW? The phrasing sort of makes it sound like that but I haven't had it happen yet.

How significant does the increase to Equilibrium Level 6 feel in the world/story compared to 5? It doesn't seem like it actually adds much value, so if it's a pain I'm kind of wondering if it's not worth even increasing it.

Maybe I didn't do a good job getting across what I was asking, but why not is basically what I was trying to figure out by asking if people have found the story and world fights more annoying since they increased it or if it's not a big deal. I'm sure it's not like an insurmountable challenge, but I'm lazy and autobattle most fights, so I'm curious. Story thoughts: It was kind of weird when Dan Heng tried to talk to the Trailblazer and it said nobody could get them to say anything. I guess it could be to get around having the Trailblazer act independent of when we're playing them, but combined with how sidelined the Trailblazer was toward the end, I wonder if there was something more going on there. If not, it was pretty jarring to see the protagonist get benched so hard. Dr Kool-AIDS fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jul 19, 2023 |

There is a relatively short bump in difficulty when going up a new EQ, but it quickly becomes just as easy as the previous. You generally want to go up just to get better drop rates for character materials, as the costs for those goes way up and running the calyxs at the highest possible level is the most efficient. Additionally, relic drops vastly improve as well, so it's well worth it to go to the next tier as soon as you are able.

Tatsuta Age posted:hows blade feel to play? he didn't seem that interesting from his trial (lots of "whoa things are happening" that it seems kinda difficult to plan what you actually want to happen) He's a skill point positive dps who can function as a sub dps or a main hyper carry. His ult either heals or damages him and his aoe self heals. He allows for a completely skill point negative Bronya since she can just use the sp he doesn't. Also something I didn't know until it was pointed out to me: He and Quinque, and I assume Imbibitor Lunae, have a mechanic similar to Seele's Resurgence. They can use their skill and get the benefit of Bronya's/Tingyun's ult before they use their enhanced attack. This extends the duration of those buffs for 3 turns rather than 2. Dude's not exactly broken but he's easily the second strongest dps in the game right now. As always, if you don't like him then skip him.

The one at 60 is required to max level your characters. The one at 65 opens the last stage of SU and gives you the possibility of a third 5 star relic and some extra mats. I'm only at 61 myself so that's really all I know.

eq6 is the one at 65 yeah. I can kinda understand the sentiment - by the time you get there you should have a maxed out party or two and things won't really get any easier since you don't unlock any new ascension levels. So unless you're farming relics it might be quicker to smash through the story content at eq5 instead. but yeah I'd just do it anyway free pulls man

I'm still pulling for Blade but I'm so jade poor that I can only manage a few pulls a day. I managed 13 today and got E3 Arlan. Yay. I'm close to 60 deep on pity so hopefully I can actually make him come home. Whether I get him or not I think I'm going to start pulling on the standard banner in the future. I'm 60 away from my free 5 star and I'd really like Clara or maybe Bronya over any of the future characters. Welt E2 would be awesome too.
