>>550737363Haven't given it a try yet, what's so bad?
>>550739012nta but you have to auto easy modes 2-3 times before you get to... auto the last mode until the boss once for each path for fun and then just auto it all for coins probably
>>550739012Gotta do the easier levels first.Gotta use the shitty level 50 assist chars to clear quests (fates are locked to quests instead of extra reward this time).
Guys I have to sleep sometimes, you all need to do your part. Didn't try VoD yet but checked the shop. Was hoping for another upgrade potion, no such luck,

Level 2 easy enough to bring a nova-less Ciri along. Still don't see where it says you need to use the rentals though.

>>550743276Still in awe just how strong she is especially now that I got her got to 3*. It's so late but still considering putting her in to 5* after the witcher gang.
>>550752126I would recommend 5*ing her, no unit comes close to her in terms of mob clearing consistency.
>>550752126Gotta take both sisters to 5*.
Don't forget to do rank challenge 12 with your newfound strength.
You farm VoD for gold. I farm VoD for engraving boxes. We are not the same.

You can get rare blessings now it seems.

>>550798767W-Why is she looking at me like that?
>>550799373She's looking over your left shoulder
Bear school seems terrific. It's like having tankbro from the summon path, but on the whole party.
>>550802282It's just the defense route that the first couple of VoDs had
>>550802282I think dot could be stronger if you have the units for it. Taking the old standby 300% hp but -90% at start is still good but then you gotta then throw Cocoa in there.
>>550803465Cocoa and Camelot with 300% boosted HP are pretty much unstoppableKiya with 300% and then 90% HP missing hits harder than I have words for
>>550802346"just" but you get to start with the -2CD every timeit's even easier
>>550791079So this is just permanent happiness right?Poor Cocoa's out of a job with this one
>>550803682Ooh I haven't tried Kyia in there yet.Usually she just about kills herself or wastes her dragoon jump on targets that get cleared off anyway.On auto at least
Hello?
>>550841415Hi how are you ?
Hey uhhhh I'm kinda getting my ass beat on this stage, what sort of units should I be bringing to this? I had just been bulldozing through stuff with units like Marcille and Inanna SP beforehand.
>>550846753Should've rerolled buffs. Good one will allow you to auto throughout
>>550849732What buffs would you recommend? I was just grabbing things that increased HP and increased damage based on HP.
>>550831676God I'm sad how much she got pushed down starting at SP Samantha. Going to become a counterattack niche unit at this rate.
These highest difficulty stage 7 guys hit fucking hard. I figured that level 35 thing was a joke after the event farming stages said impossible but were definitely possible, but these guys can almost one hit Cocoa through the mega inflated HP perk.
>>550853386Yeah, she's my favourite defender. I hope she gets a great ascension skill one day.
>>550850808200 hp but cuts 90% hp at the startJust heal at the start and you're goodIt's the easy vod strat for a while now and with sp sam, cam and the witcher characters introduced the vod is easier this time
>>550846753This is just learning pains as you figure out what's good and what isn't in this mode.For example at the moment Bear School is good because if you focus on survivability skills you can become almost invincible.Remember that your collection level will help a lot more than your gear this time round.Some good grabs I can think of>+200% hp, take 90% damage (if you have Cocoa or Lifesteal)>+100% hp, take +100% damage +15% lifesteal (Just pumping health)>Gain shield based on health with the above>6 Buffs conditional for the damage buff is very easy to hit>Gain buffs on standby combos with March Command and allows you to both attack and get the buffs>CD reduction and take 10% damage on skill (if you have lifesteal)I'm probably missing a few from the health and defence based ones. I don't know how good the golden skills are, the happiness one sounds really good and can substitute Cocoa I think. Haven't seen it yet though.
>>550850808For a long time the strat for VoD was restarting defensive mode until you got this option to start. Cocoa's ult heal is based on her HP so it scales with the increase. Its weakness is fights where you start split up, faster units who start right in your face (Agata boss) and on auto your faster units suiciding themselves before getting healed.
>>550863559>Remember that your collection level will help a lot more than your gear this time round.isn't it supposed to only add golden options and such in the case of VOD? rather than global stat bonus
>>550863559My favourite combo so far is>gain shields when healed, stacking infinitely>heal at start and end of turn>deal extra damage based on current shieldsCamelot is having a blast
>>550867716I mean we have 5-7 bosses with 3M hpI doubt you can punch through that without the global stat bonuses. They even have the recommendations for when to tackle these.
I still have no idea how her kit works, but Kiya was just healing everyone with every hit all of a sudden.
What skill do you guys use with Kiya?
>>550867716There have been posts about Cocoas and Camelots with over 1mil hp, the stat boosts are here
>ranged attack range increased by at least 6, up to 11>attacking from 6 or more gives highland advantage>single target attack gives 30% more damage and act again>boss stage is Rawiyah, Iggy and all Breaker calamitiesNydia is about to remind them
I just take the Bear one that reduces skill CDs by 2 and spam Geralt's Signs ten times per turn.
>>550888115>>550872690>They even have the recommendations for when to tackle these.that's true, I guess VOD now embraces becoming trivial after you have explored path options once
>>550896741It's no more trivial than it ever was, every VoD has been autoable with a few boss stage exceptions
>>550897223it's gonna be if your collection stat bonus keeps ramping up while enemies remain at the same level
>>550906515Doubtful, I'm almost at the point that C. levels start giving fuck all and occasionally run into non-boss stages that will fail if left to auto such as the one with the desert units that create sandstorms and teleport all over the place.Old reused stages are easier, sure but new ones are keeping it overall around the same as before. The tank summoning path set a lowpoint for triviality and at worst all that can be done now is match it.
lol

>He skipped thisFor shame.
>>550923626I just didn't think I had enough for units I wanted more after her. I should have trusted the plan.
>>550926926It's okay bro I'll think about you while using her.
>>550923626I don't like characters with wings unless they have bird heads.
I just got the 2-month login reward today. Only characters I have built are the starters and the Witcher quartet but the latter seem like they'll be able to carry me for a while.
>>550939756I imagine they will, 2 Witcher units can easily cover everything that I would have built an entire team around back then and then some
>>550939756You're good. Next is SP Maitha and she's top tier. Your roster will grow even if you lose 50/50
>>550935901Ugly
>>550939756So long as you got all the Witcher units, you're free to save your pulls until the event's over.

I'm a simple man. I see Maitha I skip.
>>550972885
Not the map you want to see on defensive mode.
>>550973467Those damn Rayshots
Any OP blessings in the Wolf school?
>>550987579I just take anything that gives Act Again
>>550987579There are infinitely stacking movement and attack buffs and you can get ranged units to basically become that one Ballista from Night Crimson with full map coverage
>>550987579Do these schools actually reflect anything in Witcher lore? Can we make assumptions on what cat/bird will have tomorrow?
>>550993641The schools reflect philosophies of training. Wolf emphasizes versatility, Bear emphasis endurance, Cat emphasizes mobility. Pretty sure they even have a description blurb in VoD.
>>550993641You can see a description of each school in the VoD event notice.>Wolf: balanced>Bear: defense/survivability>Cat: mobility/some survivability >Griffon: terrain-focused>Viper: DoTs>Manticore: potions/buffs

So auto Nydia will basic in melee range with Melee Mega Crossbow if she has no move or other target. Think it's the first time I've ever seen it happen. Kind of like how auto Tristan will only go Super Saiyen if she has nothing else to do with 2 range of somebody.
Don't be like me and forget to do your pioneer challenge. Finally getting the final stages done.
>>550994980>>550995116Oh that's cute. Probably pretty similar to stuff we've seen previously.
Maitha! Fighto!
Why has Maitha forsaken us..
Probably going to be garbage for auto but we'll see
>>551031826>guy posts about cheating on his wife>Maitha disappears foreverMuch to think about.
>>551038784>At the end of the turn, if the character is not within threat range, gains [Invisibility] and increases Movement by 2 for 1 turn.>Increases DMG taken by 100%. At the end of the turn, if the character is within threat range, gains [Invisibility]This route has sweet mutations to stack with each other
>>551041597You gotta stop simpin' for that guy's dumb wifeWhy did she make him so miserable in marriage that he turned elsewhere?
>>551041769wtf that's nuts
>>550973467Who do you sacrifice?
>>551044940My prostateShould've been a Legendary
>>550956892Got all of them and all their weapons. Even got really lucky with weapon dupes. Ciri just hit 4* between all the free shards from the event and spending every day in the mines.
>>550956892Asking for the millionth time but how good would SP Maitha be if you weren't running her in a full soc comp? Is she t0 for an account with just Witcher units and the free soc units?
>>551047126As far as I'm aware she's still like an A tier unit not running a SoC comp. She's probably worth going after on a fresh account. We're also due for a bunch of high powered units right after her so if you're interested in any Elemaners you could potentially skip her.
>>550853386I like her design well enough but she's probably the character I most regret going to 5* for, wish I'd gotten Nydia instead. Her pledge buff to an ally is godly on paper but being single target DPS is so niche and in fairness I should've known she'd get crept quickly...>>551047126From my general understanding of her if you want to play her solo without other SoC units then you need 5* with a unit that gives her act again because she boosts her own trait/unique mechanic attacking herself (check the yapdoc where they discuss this). So kind of a steep investment but worth the payoff. If you play her in an SoC team then you want at least one of Beryl/NoNo/SP Nungal to trigger the rally mechanic.
I'm gonna pull all three Nova Convallaria units even if they aren't meta.
>>551048527Exact same, I just really wanted a second good defender unit besides Cocoa and she was firmly in T0.5 plus had a great design. That being said Nydia is clearly superior now that I can actually play her. They made it seems like she was way more situational than she is.
>>551048527I don't regret going to 5* but her usage has dropped off fairly sharplyNydia is way better, it's not even close, she has absolutely destroyed every VoD route that we have open harder than the units that specifically fit the theme for that route's buffs. I've never felt as justifiably smug about anything as I do about ignoring the calls to skip Nydia.
>>551048864>Exact same, I just really wanted a second good defender unit besides CocoaPart of why I pulled actually was to have a DPS defender for Pioneering Journey >>551049251>I've never felt as justifiably smug about anything as I do about ignoring the calls to skip NydiaIf I recall the main reason people said she was a skip was because she was an AoE Seeker and most people had 5* SP Rawi at that point. And in CNs original release schedule Nydia was after Lutfi who was also a seeker but with a stronger niche.
Decided to trim the fat from my team and I've just been auto farming solo with Nydia.
>guildmaster quit
>>551055562That was like a full year ago, you just noticed?
we should get a Cyberpunk collab nextthoughts?
>>551074378I think you're a dickhead
The Griffin school is awesome, especially if you have Triss. The entire battlefield was covered in ice tiles, which gave me Act Again, 100% crit, +3 move, and a shitton of shields.
>>551074378No.
>>551074378>surprise>known for the past 8 months
>>551054427Is this VoD Diff 5 on auto? Which school makes Nydia invincible and a damage god?
>>551072451Saw Rico on a book I'm reading
>>551078260Triss has been great I always leave her in. Doesn't need to be close like Geralt and the ai can't play Yen well.
>>551088642Take the 8&8% at the stop. The only times I've died is damage reflect from Lightning's shield or placing her too close and all the enemies move before she gets a chance to act.
>>551110369Start* I love autocorrect
I might turn some of these golden blessings off they get in the way of what I wanna build.
I did not notice two schools unlocked today.
>>551078260>>551126843>bring in Flavia Luvata Yen>everything is tiles>tiles become 3 kinds of tiles per turn>flower can now walk if you pick moving through x first tile doesn't consume movementThis is awesome.
>>551129287Yeah it was my least favourite of the bunch. If you have Luvata it can probably be decent but I just had Triss and fire sign Gerald.
>>551129441>he doesn't have LuvataSome people are natural losers.
Thanks Inanna super helpful.
>>551150960That's actually hilarious.
>>551150960I know if I was one of them there enemies and saw Inanna not try to help the character right there in threat range then I would get suspicious that it's not a real person. Inanna made the smart move honestly.
>>551157648You'd have been jebaited since clone Jen has already acted.
Which of the repeat-purchase rewards should I be spending my adventurer coins on? I've only been playing for like two months so I'm not sure what the priority on endgame materials is.
Is anyone else able to use the button in the corner to bring up the menu, go into the characters page and then back out to freely reroll VoD cards?
Is there a quick and dirty guide on engraving? I've been at sixty for over a week but I haven't touched the system yet.
>>551166062Yeah the guide is "press re-engrave until stats good or no money"
>>551166062Sword + Wand and Cup + Wand are the main ones that you see recommended.
>>551166207>>551166336Is there an easy way to see the upper and lower bound of potential values?
>>551166062Most of the time you just want a good damage roll. Flat +damage is better than you think but high % damage especially on sword is king with % HP usually being a strong 3rd stat.
>>551166404There was an image floating around that had them all, within the game there's a little bar the same as with tarot stats
>google doc says Geralt's AoE is smallWhat the hell is considered standard-size AoE?
>>55116714925 squares
>>551167361For a melee unit? Power creep is ridiculous.
>>551167457Why would being a melee unit bring the standard for an AoE down? If anything it justifies why he has a small one
>>551167697Then I'm confused why anyone would make a point of stating his AoE is small if it's considered normal for a melee unit, which he is.
>>551167894Because for an AoE attack it is? That's like asking why a 10% P.Atk heal would be considered small if the unit is otherwise not a healer
>>551168119But that's like making a point of saying his basic attack range is short. If it's expected that he has a short attack range as a melee unit, why point it out unless it's something out of the ordinary?
>>551168461It's not really like that at all, ranged attacks are their own category. If a ranged attack only has a 2 tile range it's safe to call that range short. Putting that aside Geralt is definitely not just a melee unit, his kit is packed full of ranged and AoE attacks.
As much as I love Nydia I do hate how much using her feels like random guessworkI set her to attack someone and then just have no prediction for what the end result will look likeDoesn't feel right for an SRPG
>>551161669are you talking about voyage of discovery? buy out the stock of 99 talent stars and then focus on the gold.
Luccia soonWhich one is Ivan
>>551195507Ground squirrel
>>550725038I FINALLY got all the Emblems from Spirals of Destiny and I got all the remembrances.Post how many Astral tears you got.
>>551207943
Page 10 and no Maitha to save you? Pathetic weaklings.
>>551207943It's easy to max this just starting and quitting a new sod run gives 3 I think. I still have some of it to fill out and need to get the Good union ending + finally get Beryl's Treasure Hunt 3. Fuck the mercenary ones.
>>551218615Might start doing thisI've completely skipped SOD outside of new routes dropping.That and I still have a few Nightmare Inanna stages to do.I've burned like 40 keys at this rate.
>>551110369>Take the 8&8%What's this?
>>551207943congrats
>>551207943I doubt you were keeping count, but any estimate of how many keys/runs that took? I doubt I'll clear that astral tear board before EoS.
>>5512308968% Increased dmg and 8% dmg reduction per skill use.
>>551244784Ah, I see. Wolf School stuff. I only used that school once, I guess I should take another look at it.
>>551218615>>551218615If you are hunting for the tarots for Blessed Generosity, you are better off doing the first SoD where MC gets freed from the prison and then die by not having enough rep with one of the factions that you ask for help. I think its like 3-4 keys instead of the 5-6.>>551241572It took like 10 full runs ish? I remember seeing all the SoD endings so it is super possible to do before EoS. You just need like 40 keys or something. Besides you need to do SoD for the monthly pass thing anyways for the seasonal points.>>551240945Thanks!Also start tracking which blessing tarots you select so that you can complete "Blessed Generosity" faster. Legit the longest one aside from the gear forging one
>>551260218>Also start tracking which blessing tarots you select so that you can complete "Blessed Generosity" faster. Legit the longest one aside from the gear forging oneYep, been doing that since the second run after I unlocked them. Still can't remember what the first one I picked was.
>>551191686Are talent materials that hard to come by?
Goodnight~!
>>551281979There are several nodes that will cost 55 stars for a single level and non-vod events give you between 15 and 30
>>551281979They're not exactly hard to come by. It's the fact that you get like 2 max rarity stars per 40 stamina outside of this event and you'll need thousands of each of them to get a good looking talent board.
>>551282356>>551282771And I guess the emphasis on gold is for engravings? Haven't really done any of those yet but my impression is they're the only thing to spend elysium coins on.
>>551282942Engravings eat loads of gold, yeah but you want gold for everything. Talent trees need it, both Stellar and Pioneer. I need 201k gold per Pioneer node and 216k for the Stellar stragglers that I don't really care about. I can't tell you how often bankruptcy completely blindsided me when I went to go upgrade something.
>>551283317Huh, guess I'm just feeling glutted because I haven't hit that end-game point yet despite being 60. Witcher event seems decent for gold though since it's funneling at least 100k daily from the enhanced bounties.
>>551281979I honestly think medals are harder to come by because even with daily bonus you get like...2With stars you can get up to 5-6 a day, but caveat being you can't control what stars those land on. The nice thing is that p.dust works for medals.Either way, they're an upgrade that's applicable globally whereas smth like engravings only affect 1 piece of gear even if it's much more significant.VoD is the best time to get a big lump of stars that will dry up in 5 minutes if there's some important nodes to grab.Speaking of, I finally finished every node except Unique2 for every class and Max TP on watcher. There isn't much power left to gain, so I might stop caring about stamina.
>>551166062if you're building something for one of your main weapons, you probably want to start by burning a dozen (up to 20) legendary cup or pentacle engravings before you start engraving with sword or wand, because you will want cup and pentacle on way fewer gears than sword or wand, and there is a hidden build up mechanic for how good the results can get, that tops at X used, it combines all types but for legendary it's fastest and it's 20if you have already used up as many extra legendary cups or pentacle as you wanted then burn some lower rarity ones in bulk
>>551297130That's way more wasteful than just throwing the engraving you actually want for your desired resonance from the startThe hidden mechanic gives better odds of higher rolls but you can land something worth sticking with on the first go and you can easily get it within 20It's never worth throwing engravings and gold away solely to fill that hidden bar
>>551297589it is if you end up with a lot more cup engravings than you have a use for. I do
>>551299870Wasting money on unwanted cups is basically the same as rolling on the dual banner for a while before the debut banner to build up their shared pityIt's just dumb
>>551300272have you VOD? doing auto runs for coins every other VOD should net you more coins than you can use for all the engravings you ever get, for merging materials, whatever else uses themburning a dozen cups makes your sword/wand results noticeably better, when your only limiting factor is how many sword/wand engravings you have it's the right strategy
Merry Christmas to Sorc Hat
Not to Touch Vlder Tail though, fuck those guys
Hat! Hat! Hat!
>>551282942You want to load up on gold for this event. VoD is the only event where you get a good exchange rate with coins.
Happy Holidays to all the Hats in the lurking the thread!

Reminder, this is the last day before the summon milestone event expires. Do your sig weapon pulls now if you have any intent to.
Merry Christmas /socg/
>>551365157>>551365542Wow, how could I forget?
>>551372528Thanks for reminder. Still don't even think I will pull though if they really need 5* to be worth anything. I'll take the Ciri 3* cheese sword and leave it at that.

>>551372528Siggies count?Also do we have confirmation if we can use the weapon molds in future banners?
>>551405417Casting molds? They're just a weapon banner ticket, not tied to the collab. They've been here since Beryl's skin rerun.
>>551405513Oh alright guess I can use them wherever I want. I should try to get Zirael at least.
Beryl always finds new things to do in Elysium.everyone else just sits on the couch and drinks.
Will the Witcher collab weapons be buyable with astral shards after the end of the collab? I don't remember the wording on the Dungeon Meshi collab. Pretty devious to give out one free copy and a few dupes to trigger fomo.
>>551408524No
>>551408754That's what I thought, but I guess I was coping a bit that I missed something.>1 Free weapon selector>1 Astral Alloy from the first event shop>1 from the 120 summon milestone>1 from the event battle pass (paid tier)With the weapon tickets given, that's most of the way to the final dupe. But I don't even know which weapon is worth it. They all seem like they're mostly tied to the respective characters. I guess maybe Ciri's weapon might work with the teleport tactic?
>>551409341No coping allowed hereThe banner flat out says only available during the eventCiri's weapon should work kinda ok for just about anyone if you use Yen, Butterfly, space ring, teleport tactic etc. to trigger that half of the effect, in terms of versatility it's probably the best but I would go for the weapon that matches the unit you intend to use the most
Merry Garcia Christmas, everyone.
>>551409341Ciri sig is the only one that's good. I got Triss's weapon and I regret it.
>>551415660Merry Christmas, anon.
Merry Christmas!
>>551420820I hope we get a free Faycal skin for the 1.5 anniversary
>>551384871Need red hat beryl now
What SoC needs is a sex or doro or speaki
>>551427696Is that Santa Magnus outside?
Maitha must be busy on Christmas...
Nobody has posted Santa Teadon yet..
bweh
>>551481285Ugly
>>551467295I love Bedhead Gloria
Oh shi--!
>>551487003They always drop this during VoD, just like they always drop double memories to end the day before a major debut banner
Feels weird no longer being excited for talent star events. Dumping my stamina into rank medals just doesn't hit the same.
>>551487351On the plus side medal events give 99 attempts instead of a measly 9
>>551487003Fucking hell, it's vicious to do this during VoD. Don't fall for it lads!
>>551467295Alexei cutie
This collab might kill this game for me holy shit. THERE'S STILL ANOTHER FULL MONTH OF IT
>>551499224All the more time to save!
>>551499224More time to collect luxites to pull for limited collab weapons that will brick your account if not getting each of them max star
>>551467295Very cute Gloria
>>551487003I only have the last uniques left in every treeNot gonna bother with this since they're all defensive except defender/watcherAnd this ain't gonna help me dent it.
Friday drinking again...
>>551502934is not pulling for the 0.5% DPS loss Yenn weapon really going to brick my account?...
I caved and 5*her sig, castaliaed all her skills and spent all my engravingsshes in my shard mines too
Luccia trailer when???
Finally Triss...
is /socg/ buying the Triss skin?
>>551535074Pfft, have to wake up pretty early in the morning to catch me buying THAT skin
>>551535074I'll probably get it after the Witcher pass refund. I'd be about 5 dollars short of getting it.
Surely everyone had been spooked by Tress already.
>>551541085Just got her ;_;I regret spending 30k luxites on geralt
>>551541085Nope. No spooks on the banners. I've been really lucky, 28 pulls for Geralt and 20 pulls for Yennefer.
Plant witch isn't on the new selector....
Finally got spooked, got a Ciri dupe on the way to Triss. I don't mind, that'll make her 4* with the last 10 shards from the pass.So I still have the weapon selector plus the 3 weapon potions. I'll use one potion to bring my Ciri sword from 2* to 3* for the knockback.What should I do with my others?Should I pull for 1 more Yen weapon dupe so I can 5* it, as she's the one I want to use the most?
>>551552247This new selector's permanent, right? I'm on the fence again about finally grabbing Pamina.
>>551561490One of the new selectors is the standard 70k memory shop addition so that'll be permanent
>>551561905Sorry, I was talking about the 1980 astral gems paid one, "Echoing Summon". I see in my shop there's another selector that just has the launch units next to it still there, and I don't see a countdown, so I'm assuming it's permanent.
>>551563318Echoing is the same as the one I mentioned, they put 2 copies in. I didn't want to open the game to check if the paid version had an expiry but either way there was definitely at least 1 copy permanently added
>>551559875I'd save the rolls
>>551565986Thanks. What would be the best way to distribute them then? I have Geralt and Ciri's sigs at 2*, the others at 1*.Ciri's going to 3*, which leaves 3 limit breaks.I could bring Geralt to 3* and 3* either Yen or Triss. Or 5* Geralt (or Ciri). Or 4* Yen or Triss' sigs.
So who’s in the ideal SoC team forSP maitha.The only non welfare SOC I have is Sp Inanna. Would it be worth getting sp rawiyah with the new paid selector? (Im a dolphin anyway) for this team
Triss is the only one I'm missing. Is she worth it? Or is she just a general Yen downgrade?
>>551581514I'm liking Yen waaaaay more
>>551581514No she's a luxury pick. She can do a lot of damage but it requires multiple turns of setup so she feels like shit for general play where you're oneshotting a pack of enemies and then moving on to the next. Yen and Geralt are both way better.
>>551570909https://soshage.com/soc/en/weapon/225https://soshage.com/soc/en/weapon/223I'd probably try to max one since other than Ciri's 3* that's what they want to be any better than a generic. Yen's is better I think but you can only max Geralts. It's a judgement call.
>>551581681>>551584709Thanks. All saving from here.
>>551581514I like Triss more than most. Big aoes are good and she doesn't have to target anything so she can just throw down tile effects to slow movement. Also she's a solid auto user since the ai can't figure out Yen's teleport. User Yen is better teleport/vuln III/damage/speed.
I gained 15 kilos this year...
Time to complete my Witcher collection. Already did a few extra pulls on Yen's banner for the extra Astral Alloy, so here's hoping I don't need to go to hard pity.
>>551601553>12 pulls inGod damn it. Never lucky.
>>551601757Fuuuuuck you.
>>551601553>>551602627Well at least there's still a while to save before Elaman part 2 drops.
>>551586843Damn.At least I got all month to think on it.
SP Sam hit 5* today!Gonna swap her out for Triss, who I hear really wants to be at least 3* but I'll likely go all the way.
>>551620414Beautiful >>551622334Ugly
>>551580827SP Rawi is Iria + Night Crimson + AggressionShe isn't SoCThe only good SoC unit at the moment is SP InannaOther one to look at are Momo since she gets a buff at some point iirc
>>551626563NonoWill is good
>>551631806only if you need sleep or silence cheese, that is rarely the case
>>551631806>>551635656Nonowill can spam AoE poison daggers when she gets her rank 13 which unironically does make her good with SP Maitha, but she's very powercrept right now.
Nonowill giving herself dodge while simultaneously applying Vuln III has always been strangely overlooked
NonosexLilysexIggysexSexluluCocosexKiyasexPoochsexsexHeshansex
NonoWife...not like this...
Did everyone spent the 10 stamina potion on vod?
>>551649001
>>551649548What did he mean by this?>>551580827I think it's SP Maitha, both Inannas and SP Nungal at its core.
>>551649001I remember I actually had some fantasies about Nonowill
>>551662593I was just gonna ask about this.I have 12 stamina pots that AREN'T time-limited. Should I blow them on VoD?
I might not bother using them since I'm going to be well over 100m after this event anyway. But there's no better time to use them than on this event if you're willing to grind.
>>551662593Using them on VoD and the 10x Star event.
>>551684441there is no better use for them. that's an easy 10 million gold.
Dead game lmao.
>>551718027It's the holidays and we're a month into a collab, what else do you want from me?
>>551718027Berylbros...
>>551718478Berylfags moved to Blue Archive.
>>551718137I really can't believe how long this is lasting. And how they took away the summon rebate 12 hours before the last character's rate up.
>>551722114It was not worth extending the collab for 3 weeks to have Witcher theming on whatever the Converging Paths: Otherworld Threat event ends up being.Triss thing also baffling. Looks like they just set it to a month without making sure it lined up.
>>551709238Groovy, glad this VoD is so long then. The grind begins in earnest tomorrow!
>>551723528At this rate they owe me several weeks of farming Agata and Momo's rank 13 materials AND SP Maitha shards. It's fucked.>>551725451VoD being a month long is the best part of the collab honestly. There's 3+ weeks left and I already have most of the currency needed to buy out stars after buying out the rest of the useful stuff. It also helps that cat might be the easiest VoD route ever and griffin is probably the most fun.
>>551743661>STILL can't figure out straightforward units
>>551743661Nydiaskipperbros...how do we respond?
>>551743661My Nydia is STILL 1*Could still finish hard content and events fast because I'm not a brainlet
Inanna saved Iria
>>551763528My Nydia's 3* and she's never seemed OP.Nydiagods, post your builds and which skills/allies you use to make her rain death constantly.
>>551743661SP Rawiyah was definitely not overrated when she came out. High investment but appropriately high payoff at the time. I'd argue that Taair should be in overrated since day 1 since he was shilled as account bricking if you skipped for months prior to us getting him and he has never one time been the limiting factor in content.
>>551779263>durr durr spin for 7k damage
>>551779263Sp rawiyah was so used by me that I still use her with sp samDisagree with Taair. My go to healer even with cred existing
>>551779934This but unironically. She was one of the best AoE units and one of few act again users. It was a big deal back then.>>551780368I just got her recently and only really use her for spreading Samantha plague. Not impressed by her damage compared to today's units but the high mobility and act again still makes her useful. I skipped Taair and have never seen a quest where I went "Damn I really wish I had that twink right now."
>>551763528I feel like Nydia is so op I'm going beyond 3*
>>551743483Cute recreationI give it 5 stars
>>551784376It was big for people that had shitty boxes.
>>551779934Twice every turnAlso very mobile because of it + Knockback on normal attackRamps up to high crit rate & damage very quicklyShe's still good once she hits 5*, just not Camelot tier
>>551784376Taair is honestly only there for clash duty for meThen again I usually use Cocoa for healing needs so I dunno how it is without her
Nrg and speed > happiness
>>551785464She does no damage.
>>551801052Did you forget to double her damage because she has basically unconditional act again every turn?
>>551788475Speed is almost always something you can ignore. With the exception of made to be bullshit Rayshot checks you're pretty much never going to be failing content because you chose slower characters.
I'm just going to say it, Nydia is better than Lutfi.
>>551807317Feeling bold, are we?
>>5518015022x0=0
Don't die!
>>551761924Hime cut-skippers get the rope.
>>551837647Based
Ahh I forgot it was Sunday. Missed tower for the first time.
Pushed Dandelion into the foundation.
>>551849747SP Dantalion will remember that...
Do any of the other schools has the 8%/8% modifier?
>>551857137If it appears on the right side after the 1st node that's school specific.
>>551857471I always take it on the first node so I wouldn't know.
>>5518576181st node are all school specific.
>>551857471>>551858304Also these rules don't apply to Manticore apparently.
>>551863032Manticores are pretty much just Persian Chimeras so it would be pretty fitting for it to pick and choose from the other schools
>>551863520>pick and choose from the other schoolsIt doesn't do that, it just has 1 related option for the 1st node (use potions) and then the other levels can have multiple school-related options (to upgrade said potions).
Are the lighthouse memories really worth getting over saving for the next batch of sigs and/or characters? It takes way longer to save up for them than the 10 days of shard farming they eliminate
aieeeee
Ciri dupe and refund thing was enough for 4*
erosion path is back
>>551866603You don't get the stamina injection until you open your items menu.So it's pretty easy to work around.At least they don't disappear when they expire like in a lot of other games
>>551873780Sex
Does Agata's boss stage still exist? All I ever get are the various battles set on Camelot Hill or Maitha+Ayishah
>>551881286I haven't seen it yet. The hardest stage I've seen so far is the Nydia one since she just makes your auto units die of aids from a distance.
>>551881473The hardest stage I've seen hasn't even been one of the bosses, it's the teleporting blue Elamanian with Sandstorm Dancers
>>551881473>close distance turn one>geralt casts sign 100x times>nydia dies
>>551866392Yes. Almost every single lighthouse sig is bad, the 10 days of memories is vastly superior.
>Page 10>No MaithaDead game lmao
I wish VoD would remember my 6th unit for maps after they reduce the limit to 5 and then back to 6At this point I just send out 5 because I'm sick of having to scroll through to find whoever they removed
>>551900832SameOnly need Cam and Sam anyway
>>551900832this VoD is piss easy because of the stat buffs so i just send out the 4 witcher units on auto on max difficulty and be done with it. i haven't failed a run yet, whereas in past VoDs i would fail pretty frequently trying to auto max diff.
>>551876446True true
>>551897848Someone must take up the mantle
>>551925290Yeah alright I guess I can do it
So Yen can be left at 3 stars because of the “bug” right?
How're the new schools? I've been using Bear the whole time since it lets me auto even on the final boss stage. Shields are max comfy, can't wait to get Clara in the new year!
>>551926251FineI'll probably stick with Viper now until the end
>>551926251Manticore is by far the strongest.
I didn't get a chance to user the potion one to see if was actually good I had a bunch of pots expire and just autoed the new schools as fast as I could.
>>551926250If you don't take Yen to 5* and play her as a DPS then you are a soulless metagolem>>551926251>>551939883Potion isn't bad but you have to take a specific talent at the start or the other talents don't do anything. The instant skills also make your run take longer, so it's kinda annoying to play.
>>551942529>The instant skills also make your run take longer, so it's kinda annoying to play.The animation takes like 1s and Cam jumping around with 5 actions on turn 1 speeds it up way more.
>>551953257Is Red Potion the way to go? I was using blue for my only Manticore run for the team-wide invincibility for multiple turns.
>>551955850With the upgrade Red can reduce the CD enough to use a 2nd pot right away.
>>551955850Red potion is hella broken. It's the easiest conditional act again I can think of besides the single target attack/standby one and that's less useful because every enemy on every stage goes invisible if you don't one tap it, and half the time they're spawning more dudes after their first move or death which forces you to bring even more AoE than before.
Cleared the shopTime to farm gold now
>page 10
Good morning
>still a month before new contentAre we still 6 months behind cn despite skipping shak, kiya and parsi?
Remember that with this you've reached 99% of the power you can get from collection level.If you haven't done rank challenges yet, unless you're waiting for a star, now is the best time.
>>551998326thank I'd forgotten
>>5519955615.5 monthsalso there's the world boss in five days, but yeah i have no idea why they made the collab two months long, it's insane.
>>5520119202 months is about what it should have been with regular banner timingIt only seems so weird because all the collab units were obtainable on the first day so the rest feels barren
test post
>Red potion can full auto invisible FireFireFire boss on full auto>Would be 1 turn with minimal manual playTomato juice...is strong
So who do you guys want from the Elaman batch?
>>552026583Dancer
>>552026583literally everything and I'm skipping the filler SoC/Union units to make it happeni NEED my slutty middle eastern women and men
>>552026583Lukamar, shams, hesha, shanaz for metaKianshir for sex
>>552026583I want Shams, but it seems like Lukamar needs to tag alongAlso want gravity mommyUnion side I want Clara and the greatsword chick
Layla...love!
>>552012126Yeah there was no banner excitement after the first day basically. But hey it let me get everyone super quick and cheap so I'm not complaining. I hope the new mode coming out in a few days is a at least interesting.
Sex
When VoD takes out Cocoa when it goes to 5 units

https://x.com/SwordofConva/status/2005941942832476360So what's to stop me running this on auto all day to top the leaderboard besides being a massive waste of time?
>>552080249I don't know. Is there one?Frankly anyone willing to waste that much time can have it, can't really argue they didn't earn it.

>>552033285Are you me? That's my exact list, including the caveat about going for Lukamar only because Shams needs her. Spooky. Good luck, mein doppelgänger!
What's the point of Lukamar if Yenn applies vuln 3
>>552107172I thought she was a good ST damage that basally powercrpt Estra.
>>552107379The game moved away from ST and unless something has changed recently still isn't relevant.
Then it's a good point why she's t0 if not bossing killing (there are no bosses).
>>552107172Does a much better job of applying Vuln III, can Blind at the same time and bypasses NRG limitationsIf Vuln III was all Lukamar had then NonoWill already existed anyway
>>552107739>Does a much better job of applying Vuln IIIAre you on drugs?
>>552107904Yes. So what? It's NYE faggot.
>>552107956W pivot, no one will know you were being serious now.
>>552108058I was being serious. Lukamar lays down Vuln III better than Yennefer does.
>>552108132Yenn is aoe and never drops vuln.

>>552231574A fellow Atlantic Standard bro in my /socg/?
>>552231830Yeah! Small world
happy new year fellas
>>552026583Probably all the Elamans faction characters (I'll get Lukamar begrudgingly for her Leader Aura, but I think she looks like a Bratz doll). Might skip the juggling Vlder girl, since she like a punching bag that spreads aids or something and that isn't my kink.
>>552245443It's even tougher to roll considering we have the witcher characters already. Even getting Clara is probably not meta.
What about Parcival? The VoD just reminded me he exists.
>>552245815In the lighthouse in a year at this point
>>552171741
>>552245752I rolled the Witcher characters just to have them, but honestly they are reeeeeal low in the shard mine priority, regardless of whatever meta value they may or may not have. They could seriously double the amount of shards you get and it wouldn't be "too good". Hell, I'll take 12 shards/day so I can slot one extra unit.
>>552249134I'm getting them all to 3* kind of just because. Doubtful the Geralt and Triss ones ever see real value use beyond this current event.
comes on everybody
>3 pamina spears for the second month in a rowI love you Pamina...but not that much.
finally got all the collab shit.I think I can stop now unless the next part of the event is good
You guys bought anything interesting this steam sale ?
>>552275508I should probably pick up the next gunvolt game but I haven't bought anything yet.
Happy New Years!Touch Vlder Tail Activity Report18 active
>>552275508Nah, I'm just emulating Fire Emblem Conquest. I'm saving my money for Nioh 3 and Code Vein 2 next month.
>>552275508Not much, just Logic Bombs, Majogami and Taiwan Cool Fox
Are any of the currently 28 applications to Sorc Hat from here?
>>552295946Could be, one guy said he was gonna apply last time you asked
>>552296803I'll wait til next week to clean 'em out then.World boss tomorrow, that should be cool. My understanding is that it's server wide, not a guild thing.
Speaking of the world boss, does anyone know if it uses stamina? Still probably best spent on VoD.
>>552298954Yeah it's server wide>>552300183All they said is no limit on how many times you can repeatedly challenge it so I would hope that it has a stamina requirement otherwise they would have to balance the boss around every player being able to easily fight it inifinity times. It would either be a ridiculous slog per attempt or it would die straight away
>>552275508I bought Jump Space, Rogue Trader.Currently just started Act 3 in Rogue Trader and I want my ship back.
>>552275508Haven't spent the steam cards I got for Christmas, but I got Suikoden I & II, DQ I & II and the FFT remaster so I'm set for a while.Really hope our next collab is TO or FFT, and I also hope we only get one big collab a year.
I don't know what that 30mb update that downloaded was for but ever since the responsiveness of buttons like "claim all" and "auto" has gone to shit for me, have to press them like 4 times before they workI hate it
>>552275508KCD1 and Dwarf Fortress. I'm going to pick up Divinity Sin 2 and maybe some jrpg or a few cheap indies but DQ7 remake comes in a month and doubt I could finish something big by then.>>552307643This shit is killing me man especially on my phone.
>>552301686There's got to be something that limits attempts?Otherwise you would just run it on auto over and over and I've heard people say that X is good for this mode in the past.
>>552315275"Stages have no challenge limits and can be attempted repeatedly."The only thing left to limit it is a stamina requirement
2 more shields into the pile. Somehow I only have 1 spear but 12 shields.
>>552317379Damn, that's insane. You gotta be the luckiest person on Earth with that pack.I got my SP Sam staff to 3*, and I've been wondering at which point is it better than 5* diffusing prism?
So the game almost crashed on me trying to process how much HP Nydia was recovering.
>>552266894Now you may as well get Nunnygal
>>552266894I'm nearing 10 spears myself. Shit's rigged.
>>552314512DOS2 is kino. One of my favorite games.>>552317379Good lord. I think I got two shields along the way to 6 spears and like 7 amulets.
>>552317379implode
>>552307643Same problem here but it only seems to happen on the first "page" opened per session, after that they work fine.

Still on the last node of 21, what is it?
>>55236775123 is the same layout but with no pioneer levels at all and nodes cost 67200
>>552368645No Will nodes for Breaker/Seeker/Watcher.Single stat nodes have 2x the stat (except HP)Double stat nodes (and HP) are doubled (so 10 to 11 nodes in total).
Why do they make me check it once a day man like they couldn't give some more time extensions?

hello, socgi am mad at you for telling me that estra was must pull months ago. i have used this lady like 6 times.is SP Maitha one of those, or a character that im actually going to use in a lot of content?
>>552402272it is a mystery
>>552402272Yes Estra is a brick
>>552402272I on the other hand got some fair use out of Estra, though not latelyAnd I recall anons were saying that while she was still the best single target damager 6 months ahead, there was no content for that
How the hell am I supposed to go FIVE(5) rounds without killing everything on the map? These quests are literally not possible
so at the rate that this is moving is anybody that doesn't get their attempts in within the first 8 hours just going to be shit out of luck for the stage 1 and 2 specific quests and by extension all the exchange currency?
>>552402272SP Maitha is weird, she's tier 0 on a lot of tier lists but you won't use her everywhere, as her niche is dealing the highest AoE piercing damage in the game and you don't always need that. Characters like Geralt, SP Sam, and Camelot do more damage than her generally, so you only swap her in against enemies weak to piercing or with very high defense. She's also boring as fuck to play as you just spam one button over and over.Personally I will be skipping her, but she is significantly more useful than Estra. I think Maitha saw use in one ToA and a couple World Bosses, whereas Estra has never seen meta use.
>>552413706Just move back?
>>552413706Just kill all but one and stun it or put it to sleep until you hit round six.
>>552413706Ah, so that's why I didn't get it.Yeah, this sucks. Go 5 rounds without being stunned by the stun attack that they use every round.
>>552437086Just kill the problem mobs and leave the spider.Or just walk away and let them come to you and kill them every other round.
>>552437086The card makes you immune for 2 turns and all 3 waves can be wiped out before turn 2 starts
>>552437412>and all 3 waves can be wiped out before turn 2 startsThat's not the issue, it's very easy to quickly clear the stage. The issue is going to round 6 at least. Just did it, but it was a tedious game of grab ass and hide and seek.
>>552438206The point is that only half the enemies matter for either if the 5 turn missions and they can easily be taken out before the party-wide immunity to their status effect wears off, then you coast for the remainder with the enemies that don't matter
>>552414305>will can go negative>remains open for continued challenge>only close temporarilyI think everybody's good
Lazybros, are we stopping after finishing the quests? Or are you guys grinding this thing?
>>552440793>grinding this thing?what for
>>552440793I stopped
New mode
>>552440793Does that one quest that keeps updating eventually stop?
I was late and will never catch up

What units want extra Crimson Quills? Taair?
>>552447362Reduce will by x00 that goes up by 100 each time.
>>552448530Could work for spear Nungal maybe idk

>>552448643Ah, so that's the encouragement to grind. Now I'm wondering if it's infinite too.
>>552447505>asking if a sorceress is evil
>>552450565Caps out at 1200
>>552455478Thanks! Gonna take it easy and just do one quest a day
>>552447505yes
Why are people still doing the first stage when it's in the negatives?
>>552468952Could possibly have something to do with there being rewards directly tied to doing the first stage
>>552469261selfish
>>552469624If tryhards didn't rerun the stages over 100 times then it wouldn't be in the neg before johnny come lately has a chance to earn his own rewardsExactly as selfish

You think I should make a physical magician with this tarot codex or just keep beefing up my mages
>>552486798I did a second mag magician because Yenn, Triss, SP Samantha, and Shahnaz all want one, whereas a lot of physical units can cope with Justice or Devil instead.

Why VoD kinda bores me? ToA was frustrating at high levels but VoD straight up puts me to sleep. Is this how it usually is or am I retarded or something?
>>552512519It's just the same thing over and over with a few new gimmicks thrown in. It was fun the first time when you had to work at it to win. I hope the new rougelite mode they're making for CN has a lot more put into it.
>>552452197He was way cooler in Witcher 2, they butchered his character bad D:
what a comfy number
>>552501689Same. SP when? She's too cool/pretty to be terrible.
Icewall was never quite as broken as it felt like it was gonna be.
Finally 5* all collab weapons Brick status averted
Simona's event reminds me, Witcher units should have had special combo attacks
>>552519040Gib me
>>552533530A lot of characters should have had special combo attacks. But they forgot about that gimmick after the first event.
>>552536804There's been 3 or 4 combo attacks that appeared and they never properly do anything with them but this was the perfect opportunity to test the waters with how much people would actually like such a mechanic. If it turns out kinda shitty then keep it locked to just the Witcher characters, they have a natural degree of separation as collab units already so it's easy to give them a unique mechanic if nobody ends up wanting more of it.
>>552509951He has a passive to stop that. Dude is just too wide.
>>552537390You know, I posted it and then immediately remembered we're getting the rally attacks or whatever they'll be called when they stop delaying Maitha. So technically we do get combo attacks.
>>552537964She gomened mine who auto bunga'd behind hereven though she was pretty battered, as a (VOD mid boss?) she must still have had more HP than he did at full
>deploy at least 3 papal characters and achieve SS or higher rank on the wraith stage>deploy at least 1 collab character and do the sameI did both and it didn't count.
>>552541634Oh yeah, that makes sense as boss hp can easily go into the millions.
>>552542485Which one didn't count? Neither, or one of those?
>>552546085I ran 3 papal plus Yen, hit SSS and it didn't count.Maybe it doesn't count if you're using both character types?
Wraith wants me to have shields on my whole team. Who can aoe apply shield on turn 1?
>defeat more than 20 wraiths in any single roundHow?I went the full 15 rounds the stage allows and killed every wraith that spawned, maxed out the damage bar, and it wasn't enough wraiths. Does it literally mean "single round" and I need to somehow avoid breathing on every single wraith that spawns until there's 21+ on the screen and then nuke them all in the same round?
Nevermind, here's the play:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwrPANtwYUoAnd yes, you do need to get more than 20 wraiths on the screen at once. What a dumb quest.
You guys were talking like Beryl would be an enemy in this. Instead, she gave us a cool ballista to nuke wraiths with. Apologize!
>>552555097nyo
>>552555097Worst girl
>>552548909Don't hit the boss. The wraiths will keep spawning and they do negligible damage if the boss is full HP.
Anyone know when the "reduce Frenzied Will on the Wraith stage by X amount" quests stop?Someone said the repeatable quest to reduce frenzied will stopped at 1200 but that's for the one that's for all Part 1 stages together; there's now another one specifically for the wraith stage.
>>552546756Teadon or Falin. Personally I'm using shield of justice on a couple people supplemented by Yserinde running around throwing feathers for shield and spawn control/ballista access.
>>552555097i don't think i will
Not sure if it was the last update or what but I have to click on buttons in game like 10 times before they register. Not sure how to fix. This shit will literally make me quit if I can't fix it
>goofed off against the wraith earlier>rank 145 in score right now>cool>top guy is more than triple my scoreGood fuckin lord
>>552570281I went through it once and was confused why my rank was so low when I tidily beat the top score before noticing that there was an extra digit and they were about 9 times my score
>>552570658You just made me double check and make sure I'm not that retarded. Oh man. Looking forward to seeing whatever the super high damaging setups are but I'm content being able to get the 40 reduction in a couple of minutes with my team now so it's fine.
Lightning spells should arc between enemies within a 1-tile radiusRetard devs
>>552569428it's not the amount of times you click, there's a few seconds during which they don't work when you open certain screens so wait or tab out until it gets fixed
>>552555097I'm sowwy.Also she should had had dialogue there. There's a lot of awkward cuts now where it feels like there should have been a line or something but it feels like it was cut. Wouldn't have hurt if Beryl got 1 line saying you're on your own now or something.

>>552647153Even a single pack of wraiths will kill your team with the aoe spam so I have no idea how you're supposed to survive till 20 are up.
>>552647994If you barely damage the boss the wraiths barely do any damage to you. Like 1200 per hit. I had a like C rank for 8 legit the first 8 turns trying to get enough of them to spawn. I'm calling it bugged and moving on for now.

There is no Maitha here.
>>552663484I haven't tried auto yet, just did some user runs for the leaderboard then stopped after doing the 20 wraiths thing. I already did my part the first night unlocking it. Who are you using for auto?
>>552698661Geralt, Ciri, Camelot, Nydia, Yserinde and Sam SP. I'm sure it's not the best team, I'm just lazy.

>wraith is dead>next part is time-gatedBULLSHIT
>>552763131JP also started 12 hours faster, so it works out to be the same, maybe even a bit faster on global's end.Speaking of JP, I just found out that despite JP, KR and EN/global sharing the same content schedule and being more or less "synced", they completely skipped the Christmas event in global while giving it to JP and KR. What the fuck?

PvP would be so much less dead if they let you just set a full team and 2 or 3 backups and then set 2 or 3 bans that automatically apply at the start of battle instead of the 45 minute process of picking and banning units before every match
>>552957882Probably Yukikaze, the only one that I've ever heard of before

>>552977150Kind of annoying compared to Maitha and Rawi in the beginning I guess. His disrupt alert is basically all he has going for him while Maitha was the only support at the start and Rawi hit hard and had push on a normal.
>>552977150his name sounds like fecal that's it honestlyit's really opened my eyes to how much prejudice I hold against people whose name I just don't like the sound of desu
>>552979321No it doesn't. You just sound like a retard who doesn't know how to pronounce words.
>>552979321It's Fayçal.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faisal
>>552980545No, it isn't. You can hear how his name is pronounced by playing the game and that isn't it.
>>552981227That's no different than a voice actor saying any other name wrong. English voice actors do it with foreign names all the time. Cao Cao? That's Cow Cow to me!
>>552981431It's very different, the script that they were reading from would have been written with no room for mistaken pronounciation. It wasn't written in English.
Rawiyah - Arabic Safiyyah - Arabic Maitha - ArabicFayçal - Arabic
>>552929461We are? I don't see it in chat.>>552977150Looks like a retard and hasn't been given the Joker skin we all want yet.>>552981431If the devs left it in the game that way you have to understand that it's intentional.
>>552981704None of the Chinese languages are perfectly phonetic or regular, especially with regards to foreign sounds.
>>552981784Localizers aren't devs.
>>552982024They don't need to be perfectly phonetic, they just need to not share the same potential to misread the "c" in Faycal's name that English has. And they do not share that.
>>552982182It's not a c. It's a ç.
>>552982253Nope I looked and it's very much a "c"
>>552982304Yes, that's what it is game, which is a mistake. There are many such errors and far worse, especially when the game started. It's no different from facade and façade.
>>552982118Then the CN version should have an S sound, right?
>>552982459>no no the people who named the character are the ones that got his name wrong, not me
>>552982483No, that isn't how it works.>>552982604Yes, it happens all the time.
>>552982118>>552982459You're saying the people that named him and paid for voice acting and put those sound files in the game and left them in the game are wrong. You're a bit retarded.
>>552982680Intentionally getting names wrong because you're sure that you know what it should have been doesn't make you look smart, it just makes you unpleasant to speak to
>>552982990Yes, I am indeed saying that people can pick names from other languages because they think they're cool without knowing how to pronounce them. Maybe that's how they'd say it, but that doesn't make it correct when translated back. When something goes through several languages there's bound to be differences.>>552983204I hope you realize that some of the names are entirely changed.
>>552983708>I hope you realize that some of the names are entirely changedYes they are and if I insisted on using what they were changed from I would be a twat
>>552983831I'm saying it's like using their Chinese pronounciation of the Witcher character names as the basis for translation, then insisting that must be correct because it's intended.
>>552984156And what you're saying is wrong. Faycal's name was never at any point in time pronounced as you claim.
>>552984241I'm not claiming it was. The purpose of translation is in meaning, not sounds.
>>552984323For a person's name no it isn't. A chink tells you his name you don't start calling him what that would mean in English. How it sounds is exactly what matters.
>>552984519These aren't domestic names.
>>552985262Does not even remotely matter, a name is what it is. It's not an actual word, it cannot be spelled or pronounced incorrectly as long as it follows what the name giver states.
Larry (English) to ラリー (Rarī) in Japanese. Japanese VA pronounces that way. Let's go by sound he says. It's Rari. Me, no, it's Larry.

obviously the devs who defined character names did base Fecal's name on Faisal, seeing where all the other names come fromobviously that got lost in translation somewherenow his name sounds like Fecal when you read it (or at least when someone with functional english subvocalizing reads it) and sounds like a heavily accented Fucker when the japanese voice actors doit's not gonna contribute to the guy's popularity

>>553044429It's so damn weird Luvata isn't a Drifter when she's the definition of. She only has 2 factions too, it's not like they couldn't give her that.
might have to keep a close eye on this one.
>>553051236Well as far as faction tags there's only ever 1 given outNo reason why they couldn't change their mind on it, but they're consistent at it.

So for the SoC SP Maitha team. Who’s actually in it?I would guess SP Inanna, but other than her? SP Rawiyah? SP Faycal or Nungal? Will my army breaking spear bricks actually become useful now with nungal?
>>553101289From what I've heard the only important bits are Maitha & Nungal
>>553101289>>553101403SP Maitha is literally the only important one. SP Nungal is mid and it is never optimal to field her. You can use any unit with multiple Battlefield Reaction procs. Regular Inanna will be the best when she gets her rank 13.
>>553103064That sucks to hear
Still haven't gone down in contribution ranking. Grim.
>>553105798Ugly
>>553106783You can still use Nungal if you want, this isn't a hard game and the only time you need to be optimal is if you're chasing top 10 leaderboard rankings
