Walla posted: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. he's not actually positive, he doesn't generate skill points when using enhanced attacks so he's just very slightly negative (1 sp used per 4 turns)

That boss fight being a little rough is part of why I'm conflicted about going to EQ6. If I decide 5's too easy later I can always jump up, but if 6 ends up feeling too rough at some point, I'm stuck with it unless they add the ability to downshift like they did in Genshin.

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 extremely powerful and extremely simple. You turn on Hellscape and you autoattack enemies and they explode. The counter happens automatically, and the ult only has the barest minimum bit of management that you can theoretically sit on for maximum damage but it doesn't really matter. Of course, this also leads into a general meta commentary of how "interesting" any given Star Rail character can be - you can have Yu Gi Oh card text for all of your abilities but fundamentally everyone is very simple to actually play.

I kind of just thought it may have been tied to how stoned I was while doing the new main story last night, but no it really is that crazy. Dan is seriously actually a loving godlike magical elf dragon? lmao. I never got spoiled on main plot so that AND the evil shaft head tilt Tingyun also caught me by surprise. when did they switch Ting out with the spy?! what the gently caress lol. Back to back! This game is epic.

I got Blade at 80 pity which puts me in the bottom 15% of luck but I did get the 50/50 so I really can't complain. How foolish is it to pull on the light cone banner? I have about 40 pity on it now from before I had a good sense of what to pull on, and I think just going up to my first 5 star on it might be worth it. I really want a good cone for Blade but I don't have any adequate ones yet. I'm spending money on the battle pass and the express pass, so it seems like I'll be able to get Kafka without much trouble. I don't normally gamble in any sense but this game has me in it's claws now.

If you want Kafka and don't think you'll have ~150 pulls saved by the time she drops, don't pull light cone.

Dan is seriously actually a loving godlike magical elf dragon? lmao. i didn't get spoiled on any of it either but i dunno. spoilers for the new stuff i guess we, or at least i, haven't known dan heng long enough for his big reveal as Super Dragon Man to feel meaningful or important. that and the tingyun heel turn felt completely out of left field and without any sort of buildup it lost any punch it could have had. i spent like an hour watching npcs be rad and honestly i was bored for virtually all of it. maybe it would have worked better if it was one contiguous chain instead of separating the two halves by three months but i doubt it. i don't think it helped that the MC was basically a spectator for the whole thing. they're the player surrogate and they did jack poo poo, and by extension i didn't feel like i did anything. it was all jing yuan and super dan heng solving the problem in an extended interactive cutscene. i'm about 80% convinced that boss fight was impossible to fail in story mode.

Futaba Anzu posted:tbh there was buildup, she was acting hella sus towards the end of 1.0-1.1 content, it's just the big break in between evaporated it A lot of the buildup for Tingyun in this patch was stuff you got from completely optional missable dialogue by interacting with her in various story scenes where you can talk to side characters, I think. She has a lot of "wow, isn't abundance actually cool, i imagine not dying would be pretty great" lines which are extremely sus for a luofu person to say. But you could miss all of that if you don't go out of your way to talk to everyone during the times you can.

the build up felt like it was going to be a neat hunt/abundance schism within luofu which would entirely be in character and actually involve people Who Mattered, which I kind of think might have been the initial plan before the question of multiple states made them veer into "oh hey here's the real final boss already go fight her and shoo her away ten minutes later" I guess there's still a potential third magical girl transformation but the stellaron got handwaved through and taken care of the first time, too. technically the only time it was taken care of on screen substantially when it was, uh, you

Futaba Anzu posted:is it good, how bad were the crowds, and how many digital items did you get I got both drinks. Big rear end crowd at 11am when the Sunright opened... but this promotion runs until august 31st so I doubt there's gonna be crowds later. Plus they churn these drinks out pretty fast. You get some thin cardboard coasters, thin cardboard cup holders, and some stickers with chibi characters (m7th, dan, and stellaron hunters) on them. You also get 15 stellar jades per drink (max redemption is 5 codes) The blueberry kafka drink is like a blueberry smoothie with tea jelly at the bottom. It's hella good imo, but I'd ask to lower the sweetness when ordering. It reminds me of the berry smoothies that costco used to carry. There's cheese foam on it but I've never really been one to taste the cheese foam. Kinda gets lost in there. Anyways, drink is delicious if you like blueberry. I'll probably go back for another before this promotion ends. The chocolate matcha blade drink is like... it's chocolate milk. It's literally milk + chocolate + matcha. So it's chocolate milk with a grainy texture from the matcha. Fancy chocolate milk. Nothing wrong with it, just don't assume you're getting something unique. fwiw, the chocolate flavor was pretty rich. Also to be exact, each redemption code is 15 stellar jade + 2 in-game boba drink consumables (Immortal's Delight) + 5k credits. Each drink is $6.75 at mine.

LMAO at Lynx kit being apparently a healer that buffs the aggro on destruction and preservation characters that she uses her skill on. And Fu Xuan's kit is better than initially thought so it looks like she's going to be solid for characters that want to get hit but dont want aggro taken away from them. And Luocha is great for counter attack based characters. Clara just keeps getting support

Kanos posted:I'm here too. Dan Heng's big backstory is that he's an exile because of something his previous incarnation did that he was not personally involved in in any way, the potential issue of him being an outlaw is almost immediately put to the side by Jing Yuan going "no it's cool as long as you work with us here", and he just immediately remembers how to do everything he needs to do - which, as you say, is open a door. The big boss fight is all about Jing Yuan, who gets top billing, while Danny boy's role is to be a button. I also kinda feel this, but I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt since it's also possible that the amount of contrivance needed to bring Dan Heng to the Luofu at this exact moment to do this one (relatively) simple thing is exactly the point of this arc, so as to highlight Elio's power to "read the script". So this was never meant to be "Dan Heng's story", and more to show how Dan Heng's existence as some super important high elder is ultimately just a chess piece in the hands of the bigger players. That's just my reading though. And I definitely understand feeling a bit underwhelmed.

I can confirm I died like four or five times to the boss in story mode before finding a party comp I could squeak by with. EL4, even.Dracula Factory posted:I got Blade at 80 pity which puts me in the bottom 15% of luck but I did get the 50/50 so I really can't complain. My view is every pull you make on weapon/light cone banner is a pull you don't get to use on character banner later. I've never pulled weapon/LC, and I never will.

Re: buildup There was the bit in Yanqing's quest when he says to Jingliu"what kind of idiot trusts a stranger they meet in the shipping zone?", and also the various internet memes about Tingyun having abnormally high aggro. It would be amazing if the devs really did set her aggro to that of a Destruction character.

i spent a bunch of pulls on Luocha's weapon banner hoping to at least get dance! dance! dance! off of it, since i was sure i didn't want blade or hotter dan heng at the time. i lost the 75/25 though ajkaghuiwehiuglh but i can't complain too much because i got Clara's LC which I desperately needed. and i did get dance! dance! dance eventually (after it gave me 5x genius' repose and nearly as much of the other one, because i am doomed to have the worst gacha luck)

I'm coming around to the idea of pulling LCs but I'd definitely be very selective about it. Getting extra Energy Regen from an LC to give you a faster Ult rotation for example could be worth it. Blade's LC doesn't seem like a particularly good investment though since it's tailor-made to him specifically; I think ideally if you're spending pulls on 5* LCs you want to be able to use them effectively between multiple characters of the same class (like Seele's LC for example).
