my issue with the phantylia fight is her skill steal adds don't count as attacks for triggering followups, so gently caress you if Clara is your only dps!

I've found Clara can keep up, especially on the later phases when Phantylia is attacking a lot more. But oof, I tried the fight with Nat/FireMC instead of Luocha and it's really not enough sustain, that auto-heal is so valuable and his ult helps to shred the flowers.

That's the issue you run into further into these games - you end up having some super-developed characters and it's very difficult to get the new ones to perform on a similar level.

Man, the IPC owns. I love how blatant of a critique of the US it is. I love that it's literally written into the lore that they cripple developing nations planets with structural adjustment programs. It's great.

Aren't we supposed to be getting a character from it reasonably soon that may know Asta in some way?

Seele lives in a tent in a mine while Bronya lives in a palace. They only time they hang out is when the Trailblazer shows up for shenanigans.

I don't know about knowing Asta, but Topaz (and all the other gem-named characters) is affiliated with IPC.

Got Kafka at ~79 pulls.
"Oh hey I'm pretty sure that's also 9 since my last 4 star. Might as well grab that too, Luka or Sampo Eidolons would be nice."

And then during the animation I remember that Lynx is a 4 star and I want her.

And then I get probably my 9th Serval.

Whoops.

Got my fancy new tablet (which is also the first tablet I've ever purchased/used). It's very cool. I really should have gotten one of these much earlier, because it's basically a better way to do a bunch of stuff I used to use my phone for.

It would probably be harder to play an action mobile game like Genshin Impact (unless I used a controller), but it's really good for this game due to it just being turn-based.

Thanks, it feels good to finally have one under my belt. The lack of a good hard hitter for the other side without Silver Wolf was a huge problem before, but Kafka let me get all the way to halfway through MOC 10 without much problem... but I just couldn't get it over the line on the non-Kafka side until I dove real deep into the bag of nonsense.

i have 600+ starlight, bronya's lc is the best in the store, right? the only other one that even looks good is gepard's lc (i don't have gepard) if only to pair it with march 7 to more easily support my yanqing.

I remember a theorycrafter's video that basically rated Gepard's first, even if you don't have him, because it's a ridiculous amount of stats, with Bronya's being a close second but only if you do have her.

No, that's a pretty consistent trend. The writing in events and companion missions are far and above beyond the main story, which barely rises above Genshin levels of compelling.

I guess without the crutch of flashy cutscenes and bosses, they had to work on making us care about the characters the old fashioned writing way.

Gepard's is definitely a good pick if you use your Yanqing. The extra aggro is really noticeable in drawing attacks away from other characters, and I saw an around 50% increase in defense compared to Landau's Choice.

Literally all the companion missions are the best story content in the game. Natasha's and Serval's are better than the belobog main story too

i guess since Silver Wolf's gaming accounts got all banned (a bit too much imo there, herta)
she's borrowing other Stelleron's hunter's phones to play games on. Got a text from Blade (that was actually silver wolf)
