The game Princess Connect:ReDive actually handles gacha timeline stuff really well - at the start of the game a weird god-robot-fairy thing tells you "the timeline might get a bit weird; don't worry about it, your brain's just messed up is all". And that's that.

It's not a timeline

bagrada posted:I regret not getting Huo Huo, my Bailu is okay but needs a lot of work yet to keep up and I haven't done much with Lynx yet. Who is the next new 5* healer coming up and how do they look? The closest we know of is 5* Aventurine (Preservation) and 4* Gallagher (Abundance). I'm definitely tempted to get Aventurine now if he's more of Sustain / DPS mix

padijun posted:What about macro voids and the memory zone? I feel like Penacony got zero explanation (except a rulebook that assumes a little bit of familiarity) until I got into the big blue bathtub. Welt and Himeko didn't even reveal the reason for going until their private conversation about 30 minutes into the quest. It's all just techno mumbo jumbo to expand the setting and to make the player feel like there's more going on in the universe than what they directly see. It's like the Emperor Rubert I excavation thing on the IPC radio. It sounds like a plot hook but it's probably just there as background fluff.

So, while I was playing the early parts of Penacony, a thought occurred to me. They placed a lot of emphasis on the necessity of the Trailblaze to keep the various systems connected to eachother during the sequence before the arrival at Penacony. Akivili was killed in some nebulous, unknown way. And the Qlipoth the Preservation, commonly considered a benevolent Aeon, seems solely occupied with the task of creating an interdimensional barrier intended to cut off all worlds from eachother, as if to trap their uniqueness and preserve it in amber. Wouldn't these two motivations be directly opposing? In theory, wouldn't Akivili have been an bigger impediment to Qlipoth than even the Destruction? What if it was responsible for Akivili's death? Plus, it'd open up the opportunity of the IPC becoming more nakedly antagonistic later on in the story.

Pulled the trigger on getting Gepard from my standard selector. Hopefully I don't regret not getting E1 Bronya, but I really really want Gepard for SU. Kinda hoping that they'll give another standard 5* selector on anniversary. Seems like it would be the right level of generosity to follow up Dr. Ratio. Generous enough to meet people's expectations, but won't hurt their bottom line much, if at all

Well from what I've seen, even though BS/Kafka is the obvious team that melts stuff as well as you'd expect, BS still works absurdly well with non-Kafka DoT units and will still do tons of damage anyways.

I don't really want BS (no Kafka), but I'm considering DHIL. Just not sure he's worth it considering I have Ratio and E1 Welt. Ratio isn't quite fully built, but close. Already have Topaz, JY, JL, Seele, Blade, and a well built QQ, and also Himeko and Herta fully built. Seems like my roster of DPS should be sufficient and I can just save. Would his cone be worthwhile if I don't get him?

I'm not seeing any decent sustain units in that list; are you just referring to DPSs you have? Because if not I'd advise you hoard for a re-run of your favourite Abundance or Preservation limited.

Yeah, if you have a way to force DoT triggers out of turn - E4 Sampo, E6 Luka, Guinaifen at all - then you can make Black Swan work. It's just that Kafka really sends her into stupid town. I think I'm gonna try with mine running an ER rope with Tutorial Mission because I don't have any of the other good EHR-boosting cones (no Eyes, Welt's cone only improves Skill, etc). Apparently with good hit/kill luck you can keep her on a 2-turn ult cycle? Which lets you keep up permanent Epiphany if speed works in your favor???

I like DHIL but given Ratio is literally free and the fact they do close to the same amount of damage st it's a really hard sell. Ratio is only a bit behind (500% vs 420%) but so much easier to use I can't see of a situation where DHIL excels but a theoretical imaginary aoe char isn't better than him.

I have all the sustain chars too. Fu, Loucha, Houhou, Gepard (not built). Plus E6 Lynx. Also forgot to mention E1 Clara in my DPS. I do think I'll just skip this banner and go sparkle. That's the smart move. Thanks for the confirmation.

The implication being there’s something out there it feels warrants such a massive barrier to keep out.

I finally got around to doing all that Dr. Ratio stuff (haven't done the actual new content yet). I liked it! This game is good at telling these little self-contained stories. It's far less...overly verbose about it than Genshin Impact (I also like the stories in that, but they often have overly long dull parts, while Star Rail stuff usually pretty quickly gets to the point).

Looking for info about the last party member for my Black Swan team. I have BS (e0), Kafka (e0), Huohuo (e0r1) and ??? My Sampo is only e1. I did use him early game a lot so he is level 60 with some traces. I got e6 Lil Gui from rolling this banner but she isn’t built. I think she is my favorite 4star DoT option. I have e3 Luka as well. Neither of those two are built though. I’m wondering if it’s better to just pop Tingyun (e6), Hanya (e2), or Pela (e6) or SW (e0) depending on if it’s AoE or ST or to build another DoT character for the team. I don’t have Ruan Mei. I know Sampo is mentioned as one of the best options but see people saying he wants e4 for that. I saw that Gui isn’t as suitable since her ult is the only thing g that interacts with BS. So I’m not sure if a buffer/debuffer is better?

Guinaifen is a debuffer, though. E6 Gui will increase your damage about as much as Pela. It just takes her a bit longer to get there. But if she's one of your favorites, try her out.

Black Swan's best team* is Kafka, Swan, RM, Huohuo and if you don't have RM you can just use Pela for def shred and SP generation. Also Pela needs minimal investment so it'll be a lot less painful than cranking another damaging dot character up to 80 and fully kitted out. *preliminary experience JT Jag posted:My understanding is that it's doing both. It's trying to wall off the known universe and also to build between the planets, and the IPC is in flagrant disregard of its intentions on the latter part Personally surprised that Space Tencent would be a little hypocritical in its behaviour tbh... Seriously though there are multiple groups that follow each Path and they have their own interpretation of what that means. The Antimatter Legion are literally Nanook's army while the Annihilation Gang are just a bunch of posers who Nanook doesn't even know exist. The IPC wants to be space capitalism maximalists to Fund The Wall while the Architects just want to protect the planet of Jarilo VI.

finally getting around to the story after getting swan’s e1 and building her and sampo a bit more. still far from done though — it feels like it takes so long to build characters here. between the option of constantly microaggressing the pepeshi and sparkle just full mask-off “you people”ing aventurine, this sure is one hell of a patch

And it makes perfect sense for him to be introduced here: if he was the one trying to repo Jarilo-VI we'd hate his guts forever, but here we get to watch him be a scheming sack of poo poo against people who can stand up to him and are also probably scheming sacks of poo poo.
