PS5 when?

AFAIK they haven't released a date yet for consoles.

Also got to 30, unlocking 50 cap. Even with the new cap and stuff, Sim World 4 bosses/elites feel soooooo spongy even with me pouring hella resources into Seele.

I recently beat World 4 at lvl 50. It was a wash actually, and all that was needed was a full tank class route to boot. Paths basically has a bunch of offensive skills in every path, so it's almost always better to go full one path and maybe pick up basic or synergistic skills on the side if you don't get anything good on the 3 pick.

But also I recently gave my Gepard like a gazillion def% stuff on a def% armor set. I had a same def as a guy on my flist who had a lvl 60 Gepard with all gold equipments (1700 def to be exact). Was like 350ish more shield per ult than my previous build, which compounded to a lot of other stuff. Like the sim skill that gives up to 120% atk for shields depending on how much you have. Since Seele gets like 80-90% hp shield from a Gepard ult, that means she was working on over 100% atk buff for any time she had that shield.

Stuff like that really builds up. They have a bunch of crit stuff for having shields too, and in general it's just good for survival. I think it's much weaker without Gepard technically, but you can also work with March and Natasha, but you only shield Seele, which is really risky.

I was actually doing well with a turtle Preservation run with Seele Bailu Fire MC and March. But then third phase Robodaddy starting succing up my members with his big ol hands and it went downhill from there ;(

Yeah you don't necessarily have to kill the hands though I think. The aeon guys disrupt them, break obviously pulls them out, or you kill em.

I love how the MC is an miscehevious and insane kleptomaniac troll obsessed with trash cans and a penchant for spinning tall tales.

Also pretty sure I beat up/murdered a hotel worker while in the throes of some intense daydreaming/delusions and got recognized for my good morals in doing so <_<

Tried Simulated Universe World 5 and the boss kicked my butt.

I'm gonna build Clara because Dan Heng couldn't keep up the pressure by himself.

the gacha is hating me

I've done 30 standards so far after the beginner and all three of them have been Hertas

The Seele banner has been three Pelas for me so far

I got 3 Bailus after the beginner banner and 30 pulls in standard :v

....and my 5 star from the beginner banner was Yanqing and I just got another Yanqing as my 40th pull from the standard

who did I piss off to deserve this

I tried building Serval (despite seeing her usually tiered low compared to others) cuz I saw her get recommended a lot for SU4. Didn't realize she attacks with a guitar. That's...kinda hot tbh

Serval ticks too many of my waifu boxes lmao, going to use her as long as I can get away with despite tier placements and such

speaking of

I have about 130 undying embers - should I use them on a free Serval ember or dump them into tickets to try and get Seele?

Never knew what to do with the equivalents in Genshin either

What are those? The currency you get from spending money or the one you get for getting 4* and 5*?
If it's the latter, I plan on saving ill I can get one of those 5* light cones.

the repeat 4/5* one

Bronya is a great pull tho. Seems fairly future proof since she enables whatever DPS you have to get more turns and dmg

I have no problem with Bronya. I was just responding to the comment about almost everyone playing seeming to have Seele. Gacha hasnt been kind to overall though. Hook is the only 4 star I have other than the free ones. It likes to give me Herta dupes, which is annoying.

March 7th is pretty competent for someone with a pretty mild kit.

Also agree with people's judgement of Serval, she's cool as heck.

Massive shield on demand.

A pretty fantastic kit AND you get her for free.

Got Bailu's BiS light cone last night, no one in my party will ever die between fire mc and her

You'd be surprised lol. One boss fight in SU my Bailu was refusing to use her ult for some reason (wasn't restricted or whatever that blocks them from using skills) and I was just staring her down while my party was dying lol

She just wanted them to suffer
To truly know she is all that keeps their miserable lives existing
And for someone to appreciate the healer for once

I'm hurt that none of you mofos tagged me for this! Anyway, been playing. only 5* is Clara, but she's a beast so I'm fine with that (saving for Luocha in 1.1 anyway).

600286502 is my code

Lol sorry Leana. This started out as just me asking why we don't have one.

But I'll add you!

Edit: Also Idk if you used your actual birthday, but our birthdays are only two days apart! :0

My UID is 603198395 . Could always use more friends!

Is it bad that I sort of want to pull on the Seele banner, not for Seele herself, but for more Eidolons for Natasha since she's on rate-up for this banner too? Even if I lose the 50-50 for Seele, the pity will carry over to future character banners (AKA whenever Silver Wolf eventually drops) right?

Also, my UID is 600542774 if anyone here (who didn't already add me in the gacha game general) wants to add me.

I'm waiting for a banner with Tingyun or Silver Wolf, personally.

I want more Pela eidolons, but rolling after I got Seele seems not the brightest idea since I am actively saving up now

I'm almost able to build 2 teams.

Got two premier single target DPS in Seele and Shusang

The two healers available

Handful of other roleplayers I can slot in as needed, but only one good damage sponge in Fire MC :(

Nah. I always see advice to never pull for 4* but I don't necessarily agree with it. I think pulling for a 4* is fine only as long as you're okay with also getting whatever 5* that can come with it. But if someone is trying to pull some 4* units while legitimately just "building pity" for another banner, it's playing with fire.

So yeah... that happened. I detailed how I did it in the gacha general, but the final boss of World 5 is a lvl 60, and I managed to win with a party of lvl 50s. I fucking forget to record it, but I did it with a Frozen centric build despite having only 1 Ice unit.

I dunno if I can replicate it, but it turns out... just like playing yugioh, all I had to do was just read. The boss only gains the infinite stacking attack buff if you get damaged by shock. This makes Bronya and Natasha extremely important as they cleanse the heart shaped debuff on top of shock. Don't waste your skill points on your DPS' attack

My Seele died around 30% hp on the 3rd phase. But Natasha and Bronya, on top of cleansing, does great single target damage. From this experience, I think it's safe to say those two are SS tier right now. Seele and Gepard are also up there imo, not sure if they're more important than Natasha or Bronya

So yeah, Clara's busted lol. Don't let her cute appearance fool you, she walks the path of Destruction. All she wants is to see the world burn.

I imagine Natasha would work better here, since she can help March dispell and she can break the boss when she isn't.

I hope to join the ranks of the Clara Protection Society some day

Why yes I will save all my pulls for you

Oh yeah March/Clara will probably be pretty broken for the foreseeable future.

World 5 is potentially just easy though once you realize how broken cleanse is in it

Only thing keeping me from progressing passing world 3 is that whatever path I choose means I get nothing from that path.

So try a Clara revenge build and I get one elation blessing through the whole thing, despite choosing that path

Also laziness.

That's some hellish RNG I didn't even know could happen. So far I've had at least 3 before the first elite so I had the power move thingy.

i'm natasha, an underworld doctor. feeling sick?

After struggling mightily with SU2, somehow oneshotted SU3 immediately after with Clara/March/Serval/Bailu.

Yeah I was hearing SU3 was hard but not too bad.

SU4 boss is a bitch tho. Only just beat it today after many failed attempts

SU3 took me quite a few tries before I finally beat it lol. Got stuck in the middle for a while. SU4 I did twice and got to the final boss both times but his phase 3 takes me out.

I built Serval just for SU4 (and I guess future stuffs weak to lightning). Still had failed runs but finally broke through with Nihility (DoTs) and got lucky with the choices enough to really pump the Nihility.

Got lucky on the boss' third phase. Serval was pretty much able to skill > ult most turns which either broke or completely took down the hands, and the DoTs eventually took down Robodaddy

I did that and got 5 Eidolons for Natasha, Hook and 1 Eidolon for her, no Pela at all, and Seele on the 50-50. Then again, I have zero interest in Silver Wolf. I kind of want to try for 6th Natasha if I can get enough Jade before the banner ends since Im not really interested in any of the upcoming banners, but I probably shouldnt.

I certainly hope the free characters are good enough for the story for the foreseeable future because I dont want to be forced into trying for a character I dont want just because they are needed.

Thanks for sharing, I'll try Serval tomorrow. First time I tried Asta, went okay until the boss, and I had no weaknesses to take down his shield. That was a painful finish. Second time I used Sampo and Hunt and that did go better, I lost when he had 10% left.

For SU4, the important thing is to have a fast unit that builds your Aeon burst thing as often as possible. It makes the 3rd stage much smoother. Having a unit that hits the weakness is good, but they don't necessarily have to be your DPS.

For real. Had two runs like that before getting a good one and crushing world 3 like a fly at least.

Got Welt on latest pull though and he seems fun in my brief use. Just got to suffer the pain of grinding out trace materials for him now.

Might take a little side quest from raising my mains to raise Sushang. Just wanna see how much physical damage her big cock can do

How is the space part of it? I heard it was kinda set in space and I'm a sucker for space sci-fi.

It's kind of like Mass Effect if you've played it (at least with how far I've gotten). Story starts out on a space station. Then leave that station on a space train (although we can go back to said space station). And then we use the space train to visit different worlds.
