>>500523661just homoflopge things
>>500522886>Lyria is the main heroineAnd I assure you, the vast majority of the playerbase doesn't give a shit about blue goblina. She can be the "main heroine" and that doesn't mean Gran can't end with someone else since they already confirmed the multiverse. In fact, Cow already won in a different timeline.

i'm glad to have woken up to the leciafanciers getting some content, and it looks like it delivered. hope you guys enjoy the release, hopefully she'll be turbo powerful as well
>>500524415yet when it comes to updating the rainbow veeball and newest naked homoflop there's zero delayfunny how that works.
Koregra is tomorrow, right?
Hopefully never
>>500524738noon on the first day of the month japan time, which is today or tomorrow depending on where you are
>>500524540Thanks fren, I'm pretty psyched about it but kinda bummed that she's also Wind. I get that she's designed to be used in tandem with Monika, but I really wish I can have more Lecia being used in multiple elements, because right now there's 4 Wind Lecias, and only one Water. I'm still pretty happy though, even thinking about getting Rhompaia to really go all in to her mechanics.
Take into consideration she practically doesn't have seasonals.Someday we'll get Valentine/Christmas/Halloween/Yukata Lecia in different elements.
I SHOULD'VE SPARKED HALLOWEEN FUCKING HELL
>>500525624>G.Lecia>2016-10-31>Lecia (Water)>2020-02-29>Lecia (SSR Wind)>2024-10-31Maybe someday...
>>500525442yeah that makes sense, sometimes they really like keeping characters in their elements and sometimes they do the opposite, it's odd... rhomp wouldn't be a bad idea, that's my plan as well with hrunt secured, and it always feels great to pick things based on your favorite
>shAIDS>HIVey>HIVraph>Ledouche>PadjeetaThe five bug chasing 'roons of /gbfg/
So nobody released between Valentine's Day and Halloween got their seasonal lines restarted?
third time's a charm
>>500524203can't rape the willing
>>500524203>Can't get this cus don't have the moon bonus pose>Gotta wait for it to roll around again laterWhy the fuck did they tie the new lines to that instead of the uncap?
I wish the Monscian was about the Enforcer Crew efficiently destroying a bandit island.
can they ever make an outfit cooler than honing seeker nova?
>>500525714why? you know there's a gacha gauntlet in two months right?
>>500524203Post the rest please, I have a mighty need for Haasex lines
A "still gets seasonal lines" filter would be nice, especially since the number of characters who still get them is getting smaller and smaller...

Honestly the worst part of this place is that no matter what you post a schizo will be at the ready to sabotage your attempt at conversation with their preffered agenda with no self-awareness whatsoever.There's a reason no one wants to post here and it's not the game's fault.
I miss Alex
>>500522671>lost to a fucking cat>lost to her own fatherwhy are for (You) girls like this
Nov koregra won't have anything of note. we're in November now which means New Year's stream is right around the corner and cygames will save & scrimp together every bit of upcoming future content (no release date) they can muster for that stream. at best they'll talk about the Slime collab

>no one wants to post here because of le schizoSo where do you go for your grub discussion? your shitty crewcord that will probably discuss the game for an hour at most? all gbf-related hubs are dead, including reddit, gbf.wiki discord, etc. The hard truth is that nobody cares about this game anymore, but you just don’t want to admit it.
>>500533078KEKAROO
>L*cia>W*ll>Gnarm on rate up despite everyone having herI really wanted to spark...
he's right, /gbfg/ is a dumping ground for other generals schizos that dont get attention from their peers

>>500533087nywell…SHYUT UP
>>500533306I host leeched mine, difficult to find enough people for it in /gbfg/ now though. Especially with schizos sabotaging it.
>>500533087>So where do you go for your grub discussion?why would anyone with a brain tell in a place like this lol
>>500533443>Especially with schizos sabotaging it.Have to do it during the 3 hours Trooneraph is sleeping
The new event is too boring to spark any discussionThere was shock value to how weird the characters look and that's it
>>500533087My crewcord is dead. I think some are just coasting til crew leadership calls it quits so they can all just follow suit.
>Give up on GBF because Lecia wasnt getting any content so I stopped saving shit>Lecia gets an altRip me
>>500533603Pretty much the same here. It's only somewhat active during GW, outside that we barely talk and if we do it's mostly about something unrelated to GBF
>>500533306If there's a janny, go ahead, but do your best. the raid is a piece of cake these days now that people are just fa'ing it.
>>500533603>>500533740nywell…
I thought this was going to be a second Halloween banner. Why does the game need 5 summer banners a year but halloween on halloween.
>>500533595monscian discussion barely exists even on xitter
It was a bad event that was extremely pozcoded. Danchou barely did anything and had no lines with Lecia.
>>500532518>pic related was real>fkhr had to straighten out (literally)
>>500533595>>500533923Nobody has any reason to care about filler island full of SMT and FFXV rejects.
Can you skip the new raid boss' stance change omens? Or does it still go through all of them, if you resume after 20%?
>>500533595>There was shock value to how weird the characters lookAlso the 100 severed heads thing (I guess we're lucky no important character was among them)
back to doomposting again?
>>500534116We are talking about the gameIf you feel the need to dismiss that as doomposting then it's your problem
You now remember SSR Mr. Pill
>>500534058I'll be honest I have no idea what he does I just mash until I reach 4-6 mil honors
>>500534061That scene made me think this event would be super edgy, surprisingly it was tame as hell outside of that specific scene
>>500534383The torture wasn't edgy?
Do people still bring Mr. Pight to the new raid and brick it or has everyone rightfully made the switch to Dark?
>>500532518>the most popular characters have always been draphs>this year in particular, it got even more lopsided despite the massive human campaign>even in relink, they kept shitting out the usual ppects like song and pfon, and people only ask for the crazy midget>pl-puris purcheis ow nekusuto human vazazu rur-ACK!!!!
>>500534047>SMT and FFXV rejectsThought I was the only one who thought they looked like that.
>>500534473Nope it fits the setting and wasn't anything outlandishly gritty. Edgy is something like Ferninand eating people calmly and Manamel nonchalantly talking about her parents hanging themselves
draphs
https://x.com/scr_pad/status/1851957369561043311Final update from the laziest grubber
>>500534505The latter it seemsI am seeing less and less light players in the raid
>>500534731It's the weirdass hairstyles and predominantly black clothes. Definitely does not belong in grub, they made a point that Agartha was isolated for years but Edgelands is the same yet none of its characters looked like other game rejects
>>500535363I think their strange looks has more to do with their monster flesh consumption and whatever was surrounding the island
>>500533595>the inhabitants of this island are dangerous>they uhhh ate monsters and beheaded 100 NPCseven freesia was more threatening than that
>>500535363Worst part for me is that each character is stylistically very different from one another like they don't even belong on the same Island.Feels like they couldn't decide how they wanted them to look or had multiple people in designing the npcs.
Not a cuck but I’d love to see Funf get fucked by other men.

It's a shame because I liked Will, but he's releasing so late now he's just another maleflop
>>500536185you wirr rike birrion numba on screen yes?
>Wake up>Dark solo'd hexa>Fediel, as always, on the team9.8 btw
Nobody’s buying my account…
>>500536628It's a numbers go brr game, having the total damage clearly shown somewhere would be nice, though.
Good mornigdayevening, /gbfg/.I just wanted to say that Will and Lecia both look pretty cool. Will is basically C. Rosetta 2.0 (after her rebalance way back when). Looks like he could be pretty good for survivability, buff/debuff resilience and even some damage. Lecia looks pretty interesting, too. Is she supposed to push Naru more into relevance again with her passive. Might deal and help deal quite a bit damage, too. Maybe a bit slow but we'll see.Okay, bye.
>>500536730speaking of which...>/gbfg/ said Onmyoji sucks>/gbfg/ said Yuni sucks>/gbfg/ said Hallessena sucks>/gbfg/ said Lich is core >/gbfg/ said Nier is core>/gbfg/ said Orologia is coreMany... REALLY many such cases

Is there anyone who can even possibly EVEN TOUCH Lecia? Let alone defeat her. And I'm not talking about SR Lecia who just joined the crew. I'm not talking about SSR Lecia either. Hell, I'm not even talking about the Captain of the Enforcers Lecia who made peace with her father's heritage after out-hayaii-ing Gandharva and with her big tited senpai and the Enforcers' force at her command. I'm not even daring to waste your time by speaking of SSR Lecia with her rocking vest. I'm talking about fully uncapped Lecia after having endured through chapter 76, during the third turn of Tricumulo after Andira died by her fault, and under the effect of Nio's Harmonics, Sharpening, Defandue and Nine Realm Security being active, Korwa's Esprit and Astuce (with 10 Fils used during Blanche Fil) while also being buffed by Arriet's Philantropy, Petra's Elemental Breath and protected by her illusions and also receiving the effect of Rage IV and Double Trouble III, on top of the Ultima Sword's ougi being active with Siete's Seven-Star's Brilliance being cast and under the effects of Freyr, 4* Bahamut and Shiva Cross Calls and buffed by Helmwidge's Crestfallen Flower. I am indeed talking about this Lecia with 5 stacks of Conviction Arc who is about to use her Sonic Boom while also being ready to unleash a 5-stack Attack Order while only having a single HP remaining with a pool made up of 3 SSR Tiamat Guns, 3 Grimnir Harps, True Convinction Flashspear, and the Ring of HRT with their levels set to 200, their skill levels to 20 and with over 300 confirmed plus marks, with SSR Temperance, Judgement and Raphael in the summon support slots and who is so strong that she can make her cap disappear between her sprite and her art.
