I will say seems the rumor about a Syukou Akanaru character getting an Alt had weight to it. Just wasn't expecting it to be Gunzo was hoping for Azazel or Marchosias. Still as always with every new Character Banner I have questions but hopefully in time I will get answers. Anyway I wish everyone the best of luck if you Summon on the Banner!

Probs only going to get the 3-star version of the new Ophion and call it there just to have one version of his likely new separate card. Yoyogi shitters clogging the banner is disgusting.

Even though maintenance is still ongoing Lifewonders has announced their plans towards the 10th year of the game.

The briefly touch on the release of Chapter 16 Part 2 and goals of the game.

"We hope to continue creating games that cater to these subtle differences and inspire each player to discover new aspects of who they want to be and what they like."

Also mentioning "and to ensure that as many users as possible can experience the greatest excitement of Part 2 together in real time."

Other plans for 2026 include

Date Quests for Sandayu, Seth, Baphomet, Yasuyori, Sanzo, and more.

Public relations planning to allow people to encounter the work in a wider variety of ways.

After re-examining the need of users the Team Support Feature that was planned for this year will be implemented differently and apologize for the delay.

Open a Web Shop to provide better prices for Transient Stones than in game.

A new feature that will allow players to give special gifts to other characters.

Adding fixed starting positions for characters in battle rather than being placed randomly.

Auto Battle feature. Should be noted they say it's intended to be a simple operation aid rather than something to make complex decisions. So probably don't expect it to follow any combo/synergy your team may have.

Finally just going over Profile Cards again

How much pregnant Temujin art did gamma make?! I think this is a different one from the art that someone posted after I finished reading the Year of the Wildest Boar Event a while back

>>1893381
Well good news if you don't get her now Valentine's Day Idol Live! should be getting reran in two months.

>>1893404
Yeah it is considering Azazel is in Ch13 prologue and I know Marchosias appears in the Main Story again due to trailers but I don't know in what capacity plus poor Marchosias is I believe one of seven out of the 30ish launch characters without an alt.

Cool, thanks

Maintenance is over so good luck on your Summons! Also I didn't know until now but Lifewonders posted their 2nd Official Survey on Twitter. This is unexpected as the 1st survey was over 3 years ago if I remember correctly. If you fill it out you will get four Lil' Salomon Tickets just sure you know your Player ID so you can get them. The deadline for the survey is December 12th 13:59 JST.
https://housamo.info/en/news/user_survey_2/

There's also an unofficial survey on the Skill Database that you can do for fun if you're interested it's deadline is December 1st.
https://housamo-skill.netlify.app/survey/2025/

Anyway that might everything news/Anniversary related for now. But as a heads up I going to try to finish Chapter 13 hopefully by Sunday.

What rarity card are we talking about here?
3 stars need 100 copies to be maxxed out
4 stars need 20 copies to be maxxed out
5 stars need 5 copies to be maxxed out

Although strictly speaking that only increases their ultimate damage if Character, and stat sticking if AR card (weapon).
If you're talking about characters you need the seed items for boosting the Attack and HP of a character to +1000, and then blossom items to +2000.
>>
>>1893737
OK thanks, I was thinking about how to use the anniversary tickets
>>
>>1893745
Well typically most people pick both blossoms x 2 and both seeds x 2 and then the gold if you're running low, everything else is pretty much a luxury pick if you're missing a 4 star you want or an AR card art you want
>>
>>1893746
Interesting, thanks
>>
>>1893745
My experience is that you don't really need to raise ultimate damage if you have enough buffs from putting together a good team, so getting more copies of a character (except for the free event ones) has never been a priority for me, that said get Leannan Sidhe with one of the 4* tickets, she's still one of the strongest damage supports in the game once you have her fully leveled and skill 100, between her and the guild affiliation mechanic you can make pretty much anyone usable.80j8g

In addition to what the other anons said, AR dupes also improve their proc chances and effects. The Moritaka and Horkeu Kamui one in the shop, for instance, gives a 10% coin bonus if you only got it once, but 15% if you got 5 additional copies.
IIRC buffs from CS skills are also affected by unit dupes but I don't remember it being that significant. Can't check the exact numbers with the wiki down.

LIFEWONDERS YOU FUCKING BASTARDS! CONGRATULATIONS YOU FUCKING DID IT YOU GOT ME TO BREAK! You almost got me with Ch.8 you really almost got me with Shennong in Ch.10 but this chapter was the one to do it. I cried like I did when I finished To The Moon, Xenoblade Chronicles 1,2, and 3 and that is saying something. I really pushed through reading the last 12 parts I had left as today makes one year since I started reading everything again.

There was a monologue about how your world opens up like after graduating and if you were still yourself and possibly contemplate what you were even doing during those days. Shiro and Kengo meet Tuaring in an underwater place known as the Collective Consciousness. Marduk and Teda can push the rain back due to being incarnations of the sun. Yorimoto recalls how this is like a Loop where there was no going back. Israfil says everyone in Tokyo is endlessly wandering and wants to end it but Jacob says people should be allowed their own path. Shinya was WITH THE INVADERS! Learn he caused Perun great pain once and Perun's Rule can grind memories down and adding others its how he made the current Volkh by adding Kamui for use of his Rule and Perun's own ego so Volkh will be loyal to him. He also has a Plate Mail SA that Shinya was suppose to have. He used his Rule in Shinya but Taromaitai and Kalki shield him but are under hos control now. Takaminakata debuts and fights Ifrit. Toji and Licht are working together as Toji's Barrier's protect him from the rain. Licht says the Tycoons seem to out of the Game now and Takemina might be taking orders from someone and its Daikoku/Okuninushi as he swore locality to him back in their HW. Game Masters and Entertainers who are meant to stop things that can stop the Game can hide their identities and falsify Guilds they're in as those are public as well as when two Guild form an Alliance. Leannan was sent as a mole to the Creators to find info.
>>
>>1894779
Sanat's Rule lets him connect directly to others memoires it was thought he came from space to show people the right path towards evolution. Alice is back. Akiha Gongen also serves Okuninushi. Ulaanbaatar debuts and he's like Typhon and Ganglie but somehow even more extreme. In Xanadu he was a divine child who fought a calamity demon and followed it to earth and stopped all disasters and after he just wants a quite life he had been doing all that since age 4. His SA can take him to anyone who needs rescuing no matter where they are. Taishakuten like to fight and only Sanat kept him satisfied. Yoshito debuts and he killed his childhood friend in a past Loop and it was Moritaka also in their HW Yoshito's master told him to kill Mori but he didn't as they shared everything. His SA can sever bonds. The Gurus help Azazel and kids find safety at Motosumi's temple so Maria and Jacob retreat but Israfil tells her that gods only allow themselves to be beaten and things are always decided by a higher power as that's the meaning of judgement day. But Yoshito and Sanat attack the Gurus and Alice, Jamba and Leann show up. Sanat tells Leann he has now excuses or his actions but she doesn't buy it. Yoshito uses his Rule on Alice and Jamba and Sanat takes Leann. Christine talks with Curren whose trying to unlock her Critical Memory Storage Unit. Christine asks if she can take Alice's role on the Main Stage as Alice's actions wont let her be on stage anymore. Curren doesn't care only thinking how observers should be like Mononobe who did what he was suppose to just observe. Tanetomo and Yasuyori talk about Wakan and how Tane thinks Wakan doesn't consider the rain to be a form of attack on those he loves. Learn Yorimoto exiled his brother and fears the unknown. Isaac says the CC is a data sea under Tokyo's Rainbow Bridge cable network and we see Alice and Jamba fall into the CC. Wakan and Tangaroa had been filed down their individuality and augmented-

by Isaac using science and technology for his plan (How do I drop kick a digital child?) Tuar talks about of the 23 worlds one has a myth about under sea civilization Atlantis, Lemuria or also known as Mu. We get pulled into the CC with Ryota. Kotaro is back to meet someone due to Lucifuge's request and see Tadatomo. And Bigfoot debuts he's a reserve World Rep like Shinya but for Wakan. He speaks like Echo does it was kinda cute when Echo did it but she also had a reason why. But not the biggest fan but please don't be evil Bigfoot. in the CC we can lose our sense of self easily Tuar says we aren't players in the Game only the WR's are the players as the rules are for them not us and the Game is just a series of tragic events and even the observers like Bertro break down. He asks us if we know why the Loops happen Ryota says its due to always getting to a point where no one can win and he says thats an expected answer. He asks if all the past Loop versions of us are actually us and if so would we honor debuts or promises we made before to those we may not remember (really makes you think about it) He explains the Swampman experiment where a man died but as he fell in a swamp lighting struck and a man that was identical to him emerged and lives his life and asks if the Swampman is the same as the man who died. They really kept going over this part a lot. Volkh attacks Bigfoot Tada and Kotaro. Tada fights even though they're out numbered due to his loyalty to us. Ulaan is a World Pillar and is hiding from Temujin even changed his name. Temujin mentions Gesir Bogdo. Bigfoot is a shaman who can use part of Wakan's Rule and takes Tada and Kotaro to safety and tells them Wakan is different and can't forgive him. Him and Babe Bunyun are working together and Babe is like Volkh and Bigfoot asks them to end Wakan. Okuni ruled in his HW and was seemingly kind and loved and Takamina wonders if thats the case why did Amaterasu usurp Okuni.

We start to lose ourselves in the CC and have tons more memories flood in even more than what Aza showed us. A voice tells us the human mind cant hold that much data and physical vessels must be shed and how the WR's all see things differently and is part of the endless conflict and are shown happy and sad memories of the WR's. We meet Isaac he says the standstill in the Game is due to everyone forgetting how to progress. (I guess if things start over then you dont need to worry about the long term) Toji confronts Takamina and says even if he cant understand his motives that doesn't mean they have to be enemies. Tuar says everything would be better if everyone was like Ryota but he says no because at time he didn't even want to be himself and asks Tuar if this is what he truly wants. Enigma's clones are gone he and Tindalos are protecting Akihabra. We learn about Tuar's friend Chris who died young and Tuar went through a chemical imbalance during that time and wants to use tech to see Chris again and Isaac achieved what he wanted to do. Tuar fights Ryota after he asked if he's projecting chris on Isaac. The Oceanic Realm could be called Mu from the Hero Ra Mu. The System of Ra Mu is to collect memories from the waters of the world and can hold all the memories of all Loops with room to spare (This is like Aegir used memories in the water and how Ran became one with the ocean. I don't think they thought that far ahead though. So Ra Mu is an Exception from us and Tang (but how the Exception territory happened when Wakan and Tang clashed not us) he has a mask over his face and says because he needs no face for you already wear it. (what does that mean and also an Exception that's coherent that's new...I think.) Ra Mu collects memories from the abyss and thats why he's an Exception and is almost bursting with our memories alone gives them back to us and we get paralyzed with info overload. Also there's another Exception on Ra Mu's neck/face

it's the one from our clash with Wakan (again how). BUT IT'S FUCKING LEVIATHAN?! HOW?! He cant be in Tokyo due to Typhon and is Levi even the same Levi Ziz Behemonth know. They do go over doppelgangers like Seth and Bael. Gandharva says Vayu was in each world sometimes a person, demon, etc but their Rule was always the same in all worlds it's like Taishakuten he's a doppel of a Thunder God called Indra. But I still cant wrap my head around Levi I guess he's from the Great Spirit and not Eden and different Role too I guess. Volhkh and Kamui talk as they watch from the "fake" Volkh and the real Volkh was like Kamui who send children to their deaths and didnt question it. It was over 7,000 children btw. Ahki is helping the Invader but stops them form attacking kids and almost gets killed but Ulaan saves him but says he should have died as he disobey Okuni. (Akhi the man you served has fallen in more ways than one.) Tuar is surprised Ryota is still alive and see Fisher King before Ulaan saves us and him. and Ulaan tells us to grab a good handfull despite the situation. All the ravens that show up are Isaacs familiars and how he can see Tokyo. We get funneled to Masa and Yoshi who mentioned he loved Mori (not specified if its romantic) Tada get dragged into the CC and see's memories of Shino and tries to get out then Ulaan saves him and Tada now has a sword like Shino's...I'll be honest that was so anti climatic that's how he got his new alt? Anyway Breke was nearby during that. Curren mentions Mononobe's System of Familiars they show Meph and Lil' Sal and how he reached his limit and cant read his memories. And how we are based on Olympus's System and so that's why people always love us. Shinya was friends with us in a past Loop bonding over that. Shinya gets a pep talk from Ulaan and joins the fight again. Christine is causing chaos disguised as us and Meph wonders about how direct her involvement is now. Shinya can use Zeus' Rule only-
>>
>>1894788
if they are in different worlds and so how can Bigfoot use Wakan's if they are both in Tokyo. That's because HE ISNT IN TOKYO which they mean both him and Tang are inside Ra Mu. Licht talks with Daikoku spreading doubt as Isaac wasnt telling the whole truth. We get Perun lore how he banished Veles who was a brother to Volos I guess they werent the same person? Perun felt sad of Veles' exile and wanted to hear his songs even if they stood against kitezh's System and his authority (dont care still hate Perun.) Get info about Ryota's Chalice and it's true purpose it collect things lost by people and the Saint who used their blood to fill it and take peoples sins (thanks jesus) We jump in Ra Mu's mouth see Tang and Wakan fighting. Perun abandons the Isaac plan Yoshi almost disobeys him as the revolution must happen but Takamina takes the fall so the Invaders don't fall apart. Israfil talks with Zab?! They are together yet separate and cant see the other's memories and the Rule Makers where behind this (When did they do it Zab left for his HW) Yasu talks to Masa and mentions Fusehime. So Issac is actual an AI due to the digitize brain experience failing slightly as the real Isaac died before the upload could be linked back so he's now AIsaac. AIsaac talks to King Solomon/mononobe's memories and wonders why he made him. (So Solomon himself made the geniuses?) Bertro was given two familiars due to being a GM and they where Freke and Geri. Geri was implanted in his body and he made Freke into Breke. (How? Breke was already Breke when he came to Tokyo so when did that Happen?) Fight Tang and Ryota helps with Double Dragon which becomes Dragon's Supper. Also he can heal our arm like Shennong can. (wished the vocal version of Dragonborn played.) Taishakuten can reflect things back like a Wobbuffet and send Perun's Rule back and everyone gets separated from his Rule like Kamui and Volkh, even Tang and Wakan so he must have done something to them too

establish a hierarchy with Tang the All Father and he disappears. Tuar loved Chris and wanted to see him again to go back to he days before he grew up. We get Wakan lore how he was a fragment of Wakan Tanka that became a force of nature. They show the events we seen him in and this is where I started to lose it. No matter how much connection or joy he had he was always on the verge of tears when he seen us. We reach for him and a Big Bang explosion happens we see the mononobe AIsaac was talking to and get the CMSU and see Wakan in a field of flowers. I wanted to hug him but that cant establish a hierarchy so I kissed him and he starts to kiss our neck and taking his time the game even says he was thorough. Thanks game im still crying while this is happening btw. BUT THEN THE WAKAN'S GET SEPARARTED MY BOY TECHICALLY LIVES! Oh and so did Tang btw and we all get rescued by Ulaan (really an MVP I will say) Fight Isaac Tuar and then AIsaac says there are other sowing chaos. Israfil is with Michael and Kokopurr barges in mad. Babe and Bigfoot go see their boss. Ose talks with the Entertainer GM and gets shot?! Leann, Alice and Jamb are alive. Sanat left a note telling Leann to leave the Entertainers. Balor is okay somehow I thought Daikoku still had him unless I'm forgetting something. Avarga and Taurus Mask find the Wanderers Guild Q'ursha debuts and Avgara is going to break Arsalan out from the Rule Makers (So he's been trapped there since Ch9. ) Christine announced the Entertainers are no longer Oberservers and (Barong was shown) She wants the game to be more interesting after all as her master watches. God so much I cant process it funny considering the whole theme of this Chapter. but it really did feel like too much so many small plots throughout this Chapter. I'm glad Wakan seems okay I was so certain he'd leave Tokyo there was so much leading up to it. I also thought Bigfoot or Babe was going to be the real Wakan or something.

Whoa, I'm glad the story still has enough of your investment to bring up feelings like those. Can't say Housamo's ever made me tear up, though the pull rates certainly try.

>he's from the Great Spirit and not Eden
Right, that was Mugen Wakan's share of the Exception after all. Different cultures often came up with their own takes on similar deities, so that doppelganger idea makes sense, it's just that the game also has this maybe-not-so-subtle subtext of what one's "true name" or self means (clearly seen in this chapter with its Swampman paradox, but also in small things like "engraving one's name", "forged reification", Nomad vs Gully, etc) that it makes me wonder how much they intend on expanding upon this if at all.

>investment to bring up feelings like those
I think I'm still a little affected I teared up listening to Dragalia Lost's credits song Words to Give since today is it's 3rd Anniversary of End of Service. But yeah I'm still invested even if the story has become more tech focused. Like at the start tech was there we use the App after all but it was kinda in the background while supernatural powers and stuff were more at the forefront. Now at this point to me it feels like the opposite and like I don't know something's been lost I guess. Again like Fuxi I cant find the words. Maybe since I've been stuck in Book 1 era for so long then reading stuff in such a short time rather than other the course of 3/4 years it feels like that change happened quicker. I'm still interested tho but I will say I've had such a feeling a dread slowly building the closer I got to this Chapter. Started with Battle of the Bells then Fluffy Nightmare when they just drop/hint he's a WR and a WP, Ch.9 when it was said his Pillar isn't connected to Nether (whatever that means), Seaside Fashionista and his SQ, New Years Sunrise talk about try to remember the happy memories no matter what happens, Summer Thunderbird's SQ. With the trend of WRs leaving Tokyo I was certain he'd leave or they just kill him off. It was like I was in front of a train and couldn't move just waiting and it changed tracks at the last second. So I think my feelings are justified he's been my best boy since the early days of 2018 after all. Which is why I want AIsaac and Perun to drown in Tokyo Bay. But now my concerns are where Arc Shennong and Mineaki are, Arsalan, how loyal is Bigfoot to the Entertainers and if Ose actually was shot

I haven't kept up with the game for as long as other players but the impression I've had over the years is that, for as much as LW tries to keep up with trends, they're usually not the quickest about it. From what little I read on Enigma2's research files, it almost felt like they were trying to remedy how the script involving regular Enigma may have sounded in the current day, with AI becoming so prevalent.
Oh, but some of the shift you mentioned could also be intentional in a different way. Like it's been hinted so far, Utopia's not only a futuristic world, but likely the future of Tokyo itself. Unless it changes, that is.

>it changed tracks at the last second
With all that happened I actually wasn't sure if you getting Wakan back would've been enough for a bit there lol Guess my previous suggestion had some basis in the end.

It's officially the 9th Anniversary! I've said it before but I certainly enjoyed this past year more than others even if there are things that could be better and the emotional whiplash this game has given me especially in the past two days. But it's crazy to think how different the game was nine years ago with only 33 playable characters at launch and now we have over 250 playable characters and that's not counting alts. I makes me wonder how much money it would have cost to clean out the entire summoning pool back then.

>>1895711
Shinobi is pretty good but I have to agree with the other anon Thor is top tier. I also kinda liked Pazuzu and also Kamuy but he was more cool looking than hot to me. I know I said it before but it's fun to see design differences between Housamo and Dragalia's Dragons like Simurgh, Nyarlathotep, Kagutsuchi and a few others.

>>1895836
>trying to remedy how the script involving regular Enigma may have sounded in the current day
Huh well that's interesting. I even mentioned how relevant his backstory is today despite when it was being written around 2020/2021.

>Utopia's not only a futuristic world, but likely the future of Tokyo itself
You know I never really thought about it but yeah that could be the case.

>you getting Wakan back would've been enough
It was the best thing that could have happened because again I expected the absolute worst even with your suggestion. But I know it's selfish wanting him to stay in Tokyo especially with it becoming more of a chaotic hellscape with each new Chapter.

Did they buff Gunzo. He's doing a more damage now, like 25k+ on every target with his cs.

>>1896468
I don't think they've ever buffed characters outside of Skill/Charge Skill Evolutions but I'm assuming you mean his new alt. I looked at his kit for the first time and was surprised it's support oriented. But when he isn't at max Charge Points he can inflict Buff Reversal on enemies he hits 90% of the time and that increases damage taken by 2.5x. So I'm guessing what happened was he hit enemies but they survived and he inflicted Buff Reversal on them then followed up with his CS on the next turn. But I'm not too certain if that on it's own is enough to deal 25k damage since Infinity Attribute only does super effective damage to Null and Divine Attribute and he has relatively low attack.

Looks like we're fighting in the streets this Christmas as ~Christmas Street Fight: A Ruthless Winter Festival Battle! ~ has been announced. The Event is scheduled to start on Friday and will end on the 31st at 23:59 JST.

As always this was machine translated.

Raa! Bring on the fistfight!!! Oh, Struggle! This time, the big conflict is between street punks and the police!? A raid on the Christmas fighting festival venue with Abadi's corrupt cops! Dashi: "Clash with all the hot-blooded guys in Tokyo with floats and compete for dominance!!!" "Devour street food with the old rulers who love playful biting!" "Cooperate with the punks and carry a super-giant counselor on a portable shrine!?" "Clash with the eternally innocent gang leader with Zen and bare hands!" "Battle it out for a passionate night with the genie-like assistant teacher!!!"
At the end of the festival, will the brats receive presents, punishment, or even confessions on the holy night?

So we're getting tiger man whose name I can't remember who debuted in Valentine Idol Live! this year wasn't expecting him to make his playable debut in a Christmas Event but here we are.

But I'm not too certain on the character alts and I can't double check using the wiki as it's down right now but lets see how this goes.

Old rulers who love playful biting! Y'golonac? I think I seen something about him biting people with his Sacred Artifact or something plus it says old ruler so I'm assuming Old Ones.

A super-giant counselor on a portable shrine!? Baphomet as I think they have the title/epithet of counselor but super giant is throwing me off.

Eternally innocent gang leader. Santa Kumara? But I wouldn't say he's eternally innocent.

Genie-like assistant teacher!!! Jinn that one I know for certain is him.

Honestly my first thought is Clash of Floats but make it Christmas.

Compete with hot-blooded individuals from all over Tokyo using festival floats!!
Eat street food to your heart's content with the old ruler who likes to nibble!
Cooperate with the delinquents and carry the super giant counselor on a portable shrine!?
Clash with the eternally innocent general leader with loincloths and bare hands!
Battle through a passionate night with the genie vice homeroom teacher!!!
In the end, will the delinquents receive presents or punishment at the festival's end? Or perhaps a Christmas Eve confession!?
A Winter Festival Great Conflict Without Humanity or Justice."

>>1897137
Maybe I can't say for certain as I'm not as knowledgeable when it comes to newer characters. I would be if they'd translate his Event. But Sanat only came to mind since I just finished Chapter 13 and he's called Big Boss at Umamichi Academy. But I guess we'll see who the characters will be in a few hours.

>>1897430
>Jagganath (Juggernaut)
That's his name thank you! That's been bothering me all day I couldn't remember to save my life.

>>1897589
I kinda cheated and put two artists because I suck at making choices and they were the first two that came to mind. Noku because of Shennong and I do like his other work then I said Neumokun because he's already done two AR Cards he even did art for the reXer and MacRoich woodcutting April Fool's game a few years back I would like him to finally have a character in the game.
>>
>>1897430
>>1897678
technically speaking it is Jagganath, juggernaut is an early english attempt of transcribing its name
>>
The Banner has been revealed and I'm surprised I got all the alts right I did not have that much confidence this time around. So Jinn and Y'golonac are the 5stars this time I figured Sanat would have been one of them. Also when you login during the Event in the My Guild items you get are MMA themed. Are you Summoning this time around if so who are you hoping for? I'm personally skipping even if I am just slightly interested in Jagganath.

https://housamo.info/news/xmas2025/

>>1897875
Yeah and it's now confirmed to be Jagganath in English since it's on his intro card on the news page.

Baphomet's so fucking hot, hope they put her in a string bikini for an alt to the xmas costume too.

Kinda find it funny they put so many uglies in one banner next to Baphomet. Guess they knew nobody would for any of these guys so they stuck Baphomet in there.

Wasn't expecting to see bulge math make a comeback partly do to me posting Krampus' Summon Day but you know what good for Krampus even if the numbers are a what if estimate. I thought I'd do this myself back then but I decided not to because doing any math is just a no for me plus Shennong doesn't have a cannon height yet so I couldn't really do it anyway. Besides I can get a general idea of what he's working with due to how Noku draws things on his alt account. But whatever what if estimate/could be canon I would still love Shennong regardless.

That stings but silver lining is that you did get Jagganath and technically you're a small step closer to maxing out the other 4stars Sacred Artifact Levels and removing them from the Summing Pool.

Finally after taking from time after the emotional whiplash Chapter 13 gave me and since Lifewonders hasn't translated Catoblepas' Golden Week or The Warmongers Treasure Hunt I finished Summer Pool Twilight which I'm also calling Sonic Frontiers. I enjoyed the more relaxed pace of the Event but then Lore out of nowhere happens which I found very interesting and there's a lot.

I genuinely thought I started Ch.14 by mistake somehow with Christine, Leannan, and Barong going over how what a Game is and how it's where everyone plays the Role they were given all for someone else's entertainment. Nyarlathotep poses the question if the world is a game (hmmm). But despite that intro this Event felt like it happens pretty early in a Loop with how some Ch.3/4 things were explained. The whole Event venue was made by Smoky God and that's how we get invites he literally moved parts of Tokyo to see us in this Loop they really did not try to hide any spoilers regarding Loops or WR's. We met Barong he said give him a tip he will make our stay even more exciting...I know he means money....maybe he did give us his contact info at the end tho... Met Gorozaemon as this was their debut they are with the Entertainers and Boogeyman is too (oh wonderful) We got a lot of small interactions like Dagon and Aegir getting real close to us. Arsalan and Zab which sadly Zab once again going back to square one in a Summer Event sorry Arsalan Zab will not "get down with his bad self". There was Seth who still cant swim Ganglie and Typhon using him to pick up people which Typhon felt slightly guilty of that's why he's the flirting part of flirting vs harassment surprised Ulaan wasn't there to be super harassment tho. Jormungandr and Hogen bonding was something but hitting Hogen was fun and the I'm calling the police option was very fun but I thought Hogen would say something like "Oh but I am the police how may I serve?" thankfully he took it as a threat. Mephistopheles has a-

non Main Story debut wished us to be full and satisfied...Meph you're kinda basically Lil' Sal somewhat I cant find you sexy even though I kinda want to. Fuxi sadly cranks up the creepy bro vibes also he has really long hair never realized. Aizen, Tada, and Kalki stopping the filiality...well Tada just works at the pool and trying to rein Aizen in. Ryota met Perun and Volkh at Shinya's pop up cafe that was slightly awkward and Perun OWNS Setagaya Agricultural Academy?! Ryota liked Perun personality wise Ryota we dont like that man he needs to drown in a pool. But it's funny seeing Volkh in his 1st swimsuit considering he got a bulge upgrade with his Pirate Alt this year. But also this makes me wonder more about him and Kamui. In Ch.9 he said he was Kamui's Shadow then in Ch.13 he said he was a Shade. But we also get the concept of Doppelgangers so maybe Volhk is been reclassified as Kamui's Doppel from Kitezh?

Character thoughts and lore

Oz finally got some time and poor guy pushed to socialize when Amaterasu didn't even want to and Zo I think made his first on screen/speaking debut and oh god he's worse than Ganglie and Ulaan flirting and just leaving people in 2.5 seconds. But Oz and Zo are different Transients. Zo was a fearsome lion in Olympus until Heracles bet him then he learned fear and Zeus made him into a constellation then he wondered what he'd do differently and that he would be as brave as people thought he was and was Summoned to Tokyo and met Oz. Oz's real name isn't Oz just the place where he's unsurprisingly from. Oz is like an urban legend not on the same tier of a myth and cant stand on his own. so the entertainer's Guild Master and Curren formed an Experiment to see how Oz and Zo would be like if Zo was to be a guiding force for Oz. So they are an artificial Ded situation and their Emerald Bottle SA is how they switch if they drink from it. While in the Event Oz found his small bit of courage very quickly Zo having
>>
>>1902333
thoughts about what he would even be/do if Oz became his ideal self but Oz wanting someone to stand with him was a nice moment for them. Sucks they have to share a body now tho.

Heracles having fun and having more of a desire to do things of his own volition was nice and getting a refresher about Hylas and even a small part of things from his point of view and how he learned about Heracles not thinking he was a hero was interesting. Just wonder what actually happened to Hylas in the end.

Yamasachihiko felt slightly weaker to me. He wants to be a conservationist that's a fun detail but he still kinda went super focused on being his brother as he was his ideal but he snapped himself out of those thoughts and came to his realization on his own was nice. And him liking Tokyo due to being a place where you can be what you want was also a nice moment.

Jormungandr wasn't my favorite. He was basically Oguchi Magami but cranked up to 20 with the whole let me eat you and punch me harder every other line. But he got a lot of lore. Like it was shown in Thor's Memory he literal is Tokyo's Wall with the Role of Wall forced on him. He's Infinity Attribute due to peoples belief he is infinite and that's due to the fact he's a World Serpent that is larger than a World and seals out the Exiles Infinite also means he's not bound by the world/Game. And we can just sever his ties to the Wall/Role like it's nothing and found out he was summoned against his wishes and Loki might have had a hand in it. Oh he is the Jorm for f-kare but the one we spent time with is different and he split before going back to his HW.

Gorozaemon was more fun than I was expecting. They were a Yokai boss in the Land of Wa but their whole thing is that they are something people believe they don't exist that's why they're Null Attribute which I love that they have explanations for the Attributes like how Valiant being for Hero types and Infernal being for Shadows and possibly at-

this point also doppelgangers/Shades. But this made me think couldn't Bigfoot technically be Null instead of All-Round since you could say Bigfoot is also something people believe doesn't exist? But being Null means they aren't bound to the world or it's System and they can just leave Tokyo if they want again so can Infinite and while not officially stated I assume Divine Attribute sense Omnipotence was mentioned. Anyway Goro trying to get scares and emotions from people was due to wanting to know that they exist in some way I thought that was interesting and like Boogeyman's whole existence but from a different angle. Christine even said the Entertainers are of those who have no self who perform for those not in this World.(noted)

Smoky really was happy this Event but we learn was summoned forcefully as he couldn't be summoned through normal means. His original guardian was actually Snow but his current bodyguard is actually a version of himself that laid everything bare apparently he was going to have a third form but stayed at two. Yet in Ch.12 it was said he was a human not a Transient so that would imply he was in Tokyo already and wasn't summoned but then again we learn his memories were given form and IIRC in Ch.12 it's said he's an avatar so that's part of how he's in Tokyo. I'll admit a bit of a tangled web for me. But him with help of the Entertainers making a artificial Collided World by moving parts of Tokyo and decorating it to be like Shangri-La to where his faith is most powerful to deify the Game and the physical laws of the world to take us with him out of Tokyo was insane to read. Sadly the Game Admins had a counter for that being Jorm. The other WR's didn't seem to happy with that stunt. But he will aid us in that Loop and hopes to save us in the future...oh but we know how Ch.12 went and that's part of why I'm uneasy around you Smoky. he also did say our Sword's true nature is to sever ourself from the world.

For gameplay?
Hell no, far from it. It has been stale for years and is 99% boring farm quests where you either kill everything on the first turn or have to stall for 3 turns. The only remotely interesting gameplay content is challenge quests, but they are time-limited and you only get about a dozen of them per year.
The only good things I can say about Housamo's gameplay is that "powercreep" moves at a glacial pace so you can do everything without pulling for shiny new units, and that you can do your weekly shit with only about 5-10 mins of play per day.

For gooning?
It doesn't contain porn like newer bara gacha like Aneidos or Woofia, but I still prefer Housamo's character designs over the competition (that includes Live a Hero despite being made by the same company). They have this unique way of adapting mythological figures into modern-day designs which make them more appealing to me.
I do think the designs have been more misses than hits for me in recent years, but when they do hit oh boy do they hit hard(Yig my beloved).

arent the designs done by the artist themselves? i think they are prob just given a guideline on the theme of the characters, kinda weird how anedos woofia and crave saga also have the same few artists too, so im not sure what you prefer over the competition, i do feel crave saga designs are weaker compared to the others tho, not sure why as well

>anedos woofia and crave saga also have the same few artists too, so im not sure what you prefer over the competition
As I mentioned it is the "adapting mythological figures into modern-day designs" aspect of the designs that elevates them to me. A lot of the characters are wearing modern outfits or ones related to their professions within Tokyo, but they still have elements to their designs that link them to their origins and remind you that they are beings from another world, even when said elements are something too on the nose like flames around the character.
This dichotomy in Housamo's designs is what makes them more interesting to me than "hot guy in sexy but generic fantasy outfit", and even if a character's body/face are generic these elements help the design stand out more.

We have a new Banner Winter Snow! Transient Summon. It features Christmas Ryota and Jack Frost as the 5star focus characters along with Snegurochka and Christmas Choji as the 4star focus characters. If you missed Jack Frost during New Semester Part 1 back in March now you have another chance for him. The Banner will run until the 31st 23:59 JST. If you do Summon I wish you the best of luck!

Also there is only 4 days left before the deadline to use your Platinum Lil' Salomon Tickets from Anniversary so don't be like me who hasn't used the first one yet. If you need any suggestions the 5 star AR Cards from Andvari's Shop are always nice to have.

The Joining of Blessed Fists increases Battle Exp by 10% and by 25%
Paper Plane to Nowhere increases the chance of getting extra Atk and HP Seeds by 5% and 10%
Like Spotless Ice increases Coin earned from Battles by 10% and 15%
Like a Show increases the chance of getting Atk and HP Blossoms from Battles by 5% and 10%

But as a reminder or for any newer players lurking who may not know but the effects of AR Cards don't scale based on the number of copies you have like you think it would it only changes if you have it's Level Cap maxed out at 100. For example if you have 5 copies of Like Spotless Ice the Coin increase will still be at 10% despite it's Level Cap being 81 you still need the 6th copy to get the Coin Increase to 15%. That said iirc and if the Wiki is right all these cards should get one more rerun in Andvari's Shop at some point if you want to get them with Rainbow Shards. In most cases one copy is enough but that 25% Exp Boost from TJBF helps make Dungeon Exp grinding slightly less of a slog.

And small note I'm hopefully going to start reading Akiba and Dragons! today and try to finish it by Thursday.

How the fuck are you employed? Did you just hack it at college or whatever?
I have seen no improvement from you. No fundies, no studies, no sketches, no anything.
The contour of both characters is inconsistent and shoddy.
The background color is brighter than the main subjects.
You have shadows... inside your shadows? Yo dawg...
Your shapes are garbage too. Did you make them in a single stroke, or did you use seperate strokes to make them interesting? Hmmm...
This really gives insight into what type of person you are.
It's not even about the basics at this point
You come here every day. You jerk off to drawings every day. You have not even absorbed ONE basic fundie to make your drawing look better.
Do you even know how to reference properly? Draw what you see? Or is it from your (((imagination)))?
Considering how poorly composed your scribbles are I'd imagine so.

I finally finished Akiba and Dragons! after a few interruptions this past week. Like with SPT I enjoyed the slower pace but I'm not certain which one I enjoyed more.

It was nice to see the Creators have more screen time and the relatable struggle of procrastinating final projects. I'm sure everyone's done there fair share of that I have flashbacks turning in essays at 11:49pm. Most of the Event being in a Metaverse Space being a mix of virtual and augmented reality was surprising I wasn't expecting it be a remix of VSM in a way. Sand Dragon was cute and I knew it was going to destroy itself by the end though giving it an AI chip felt like it would have against the taboos Vapula talked about. There was Shaytan recap fighting God/the Almighty and Michael how he cast away apart of himself being his 12 wings giving them to someone else. I don't recall if they said that before anywhere else but reading that here it hit me like a train. Azazel was the one who Shaytan gave his wings too wasn't he. Shaytan was called Ur-dragon. T-Antimony being a combination of Tindalos and Enigma's beliefs while being complete opposites found their answer it's crazy to think they actually could do that. Zhurong/COS lore/recap yet they didn't refer to Cthulhu by name despite being name dropped a few times by this point. Vapula also explained how Cato and Akiha's Rules still are active outside the App due to people's belief in them and the App could be just supporting emotional resonance basically magic where if both parties believe in it it can surpass reality no matter how impossible the fiction. That seems a little out of left field since only Old Ones Rules/warping ability aren't bound by App. Tuaring talking really was draining and kinda hard to follow granted I did read most of this at night/after work so that didn't help. But him talking about the connections of fiction and reality is true imo but I was mostly internally screaming due to my theory about-

the Main Story and Vapula's emotional resonance explanation. His interaction with totally not AIsaac shows this Event/Loop had a hand in making Ch.13 what it was/would be. Like I said with ch12 and ch13 this Event really feels more current day with all the mention of AI/AI creation of course due to Engima's existence.

Akiha didn't have too much probably the weakest in my opinion just mostly going over how he cherished his days with Onamuchi and how he got his Rule from him. Stuff we already knew but him really caring about Akihabara regardless of it's iteration was sweet and of course trying to understand the Creators as best he can was too.

Babe still hates being a kid. Like Oz he's not like a myth/legend due to everyone knowing him and his dad are just tall tales yet he takes pride in those tall tales. He was a servant to Wakan Tanka but was called the White Buffalo Calf by others before then. IIRC in Ch13 it was said Wakan Tanka came to Tokyo as a white buffalo calf and yes in the Great Spirit Wakan was basically a force of nature thats apart of everyone but that connection between those two through white calf description has me questioning things. It doesn't help in a flashback Christine says Babe is a mask already performing a role plus in the Event they refer to Babe and the calf as if they are separate beings. Maybe ch.14 might have some answers.

Cato was a little on the lower end for me but was good. Recap about his connection to cosplay and how it saved him and gave him an outlet. The moment with Akiha after he almost drowned and the conversation about wanting to change and be reliable was good. I can see even more a reason for the art of them together. But him wearing such a swimsuit but leave it to Arachne to make such a thing. Seriously even years later still kinda baffles me they were able to/let his Summer Alt be what it is. Also I call shenanigans how can he be built like that yet be poor when it comes to athletics.

Tindalos was just Tindalos. Apparently he can only exist in slices of time made up of perfectly straight lines and that's why he's in the internet and goes to a virtual Akihabara Academy like other Tranisents who dont have physical body. Makes me wonder about Tez maybe Penitentia Academy has something similar. He did have a body like Tez for a sec so that may come back in Story/Events after this one. Again him wanting to expose secrets while Enigma wants to protect them and the two of them just fighting was fun. Yet despite that Tindalos has difficulty exposing his own secrets which I found to be a nice layer to his character. The secret in question being that he almost certainly likes us usurpingly.

Vapula was good and him finding his "spice" was nice to experience with everyone pitching there own thought of what "spice" is. Even Itzamna helped guide him to finding his answer. Him being from Gehenna was surprising and the fact he can just know/make things from book he's read without using his Rule was cool to learn. But poor guy after really looking at his 3star art he just looks so tired all the time granted I get asked that all the time that or if I'm mad 24/7. One thing I question about him is he says a person's Rule is their identity. It's suppose to be their Role right? IIRC Maria says that in ch4 I could check but I'm a little too lazy/tired to flip through my notebook.



>>1906923
I seen the art earlier it's always nice to see your art. Surprised there aren't more variation/alts of it.
>>
>>1910547
>kinda hard to follow
Yeah, he's like that sometimes. They love nudging us along when it comes to the main plot so of course one of their token smart guys have it all figured out yet only reveals so much.
I liked seeing Tuaring in a different context, though. I thought having Enigma not treat him as a superior or how he'd rather get complimented over his own actions rather than "heaven-granted gifts" were nice additions to his character. But it's always all according to keikaku with him...

>It's suppose to be their Role right?
I think both things can be true, depending on who you ask (and before the notion that Rules and Roles are absolute gets questioned further, as I'm sure it will). This sounds like it came from Vapula earlier on, where his Rule really was kind of all he had to him. It was the source of his confidence, what let him achieve perfection, until he was able to find something beyond only that over the course of the event.

I decided to read Babe Cato and Tindalos SQ's

Babe refers to us as owner not a fan just say Summoner. Mentions a BBQ party if I had a dollar for every Transient serving/eating food based off their real animal counterpart id have three dollars. Him talking about his dad was sweet I'll admit. Call him a friend because sorry Babe I go after bulls not calves and he said someone in his heart is really happy. One who serves the one who gives himself to all. Then that's it. I need more than two lines that info was the only reason I read this SQ. But when are they going to add Paul Bunyan and will they make him a bull?

Cato wanted us to teach him how to swim which was cute. Learn if a Summoner and a Transient have a pact are in a closed off area and their perceptions of each other don't change the Transient's Rule wont affect the Summoner because of hierarchy. So this is where this was talked about I was wondering since I seen a screenshot about this last thread and wasn't in the Event. I feel like that should have been in the Event not an SQ. I'm wondering what else could have been shadow dropped in SQ's I didn't read from other Events. Makara gave us pointers on how to teach swimming also in the Event Cato and Makara have some sort of connection yet wasn't explained. We can ask how he's built like he is which he says he just toned up for cosplay and we can double down saying that's a body you don't just stumble into was so cathartic for me he then says its possibly genetics. I know its anime/bara logic but come on now. He wanted to cheer us up after what happened with the Sand Dragon which was sweet of him. The part about things never staying the same hit a little close to home. The two endings felt different compared to other SQs I've read for some reason. Still cant believe he agreed to wear such a swimsuit that would be a wardrobe malfunction magnet. But in all seriousness he really is sweet he's like Book 2 version of Krampus
>>
>>1911167
Tindalos has a new body using his mini Tindalosbros acting as his sensory organs and are a limited/toned down version of Tindalobro 1. Yet he can experience what it's like to get hurt like he wants to. We also get a Summoner Transient pact rundown like in Cato's. I decided to mess with him and his expressions are pretty cute I like how his ears raise and flatten in various angles. Him threatening to upload our time together would have caused chaos if he was going to go through with it and probably cant since he doesn't know how recording in Battle Zones would work. Yet he wants us to hurt him like he hurt us despite not regretting what he does as it's just who he is which I found interesting feels kinda like Ahab in way. But I'm surprised his endings didn't go further like Cato's

>>1910929
>Tuaring in a different context
Yeah I did kinda skip over that but I agree it was interesting even if I was constantly thinking I don't trust you every second he was on screen. Also kinda related but I keep forgetting Enigma is a bear

>I think both things can be true
You know I can see it when you explained it through Vapula and he did go over Rules early/mid way through the Event. Plus iirc in Ch.6? maybe Ch.8 the Otherworldly Ruler/Baron enemies were described as having power and status in their Home Worlds due to their Rule and hope to reach that state in Tokyo while clinging to their Rule as a lifeline. And for reference I did go back and check Ch4. In Path of Thorns 1 Maria says based on what she knows a Role decides the alignment of a Rule and it's derived from the identity at the root of one's soul.

Also it's good to have discussion with you again anon. I had wondered if everything was alright since its been a bit since we discussed stuff.
>>
>>1910547
Thanks anon. I'm thinking of making a variation showing an up close view of their cocks frotting against each other and cumming.
>>
What are some good housamo doujins?
>>
>>1911169
>will they make him a bull?
They'd have to, right? A big ol' bull to match his son. But then you'd also need someone else who fits the bill and has more faith than urban legends to pull off the same stunt Oz and Babe did.

>what else could have been shadow dropped in SQ's
Not trying to force your hand or anything, but that's why I make it a point to always do a quick skip through them as soon as I'm able lol They're more often than not just fanservice though, and explanations like those can be brought up again on occasion.
That SQ in particular reminded me of the one Cthugha got during Nightglows where Cthulhu's Rending and MC+Cthugha's wishes allowed us to survive one of his explosions completely unscathed.

>good to have discussion with you
Ah, I'm glad you still feel that way. It's nothing out of the ordinary on my end, still relying on random bursts of energy to carry me through the days.


>>1911606
I liked Star In The Night, personally. Fuyoudo's Hakkenshi doujins are pretty fun too but no porn in them afaik
>>
I have a question about Kabukicho Night Festival I'm assuming after the Prologue I'd read each characters Tale in the order shown in the Memories list then read the rest like normal. Just want to make sure also it's 20 parts...maybe I can finish it by Sunday.

>>1911186
That's what I was thinking about for variations actually

>>1911606
Probably contrary to popular belief I haven't read Housamo doujins in long time so I don't know if they're good. I can't remember but there was an Arsalan one by Ross, Gomtang did one of Typhon and some called SUMMONS GALLERY it's like a character collection, Xigma did a few called Afterschool Pillow Talkers which was like SG. I know of two Shennong ones by Gumiten/ccgumi10 as they posted parts on their Twitter and are recent-ish. There's also a Shennong one by a bunch of artists even Noku did some art for it so its not 100% NSFW. I'd love to read that one but that might be a pipedream since I cant even remember the name of it I think it's cover was red and Shennong was holding flowers or something.

>>1911774
>same stunt Oz and Babe did
Oh I didn't think about that surely in one Loop the Entertainers and Rule Makers did their experiment with Paul bth I kinda just want to see another bull added but I doubt he'd dethrone Shennong. Also I've noticed the use of Faith more and how characters like Babe acknowledge being something from Myth/Folklore rather than being a person with powers or something seems like a set up for Ch.14

>explosions completely unscathed
Why can't things like that be in Events that's a neat detail/interaction. Now I'm kicking myself there's a lot of SQs I would need to use Bookmarks for plus the Archive Channel doesn't show dialogue differences.

>I'm glad you still feel that way
Of course! This past year of discussion has made rereading and experiencing the new Chapters/Events even more enjoyable. And even if it's your ordinary let yourself rest up anon it's Christmas/The Holidays after all.

I did Jagganath's special quest after the event, it was pretty nice. He has this little fighting ring event to show off to you, and then you meet him backstage after he mercilessly downs his opponent who was flirting with you earlier. He goes to shower and you steal his towel to sniff it, leading him to tease you with punishment. Then the day after, he goes missing for a little bit before turning up at the night festival with other police students. You pull a float and then play with rainbow colored powder and he paints your face to match his red markings, and then he hands you a present of silver dog tags that are like his as a thank you for being his buddy when everyone else at the precinct also wants to be your friend, with you promising that one day they'll be best buddies. Then it fades to black.
Hope he gets a nice alt in the future :)

Happy Summon Day Maria! It's a shame you don't have a 2nd alt that's an overpowered 5star that you deserve maybe one day it will happen.

Also a new Banner was shadow dropped earlier today 2025 Xmas Pickup it only lasts for a week but features

Christmas Ganglie
Christmas Nomad
Christmas Yoshito
Christmas Taurus Mask

Even after reading The New Champion of Christmas I still forget Taurus Mask has an alt but I will say his title of Throw Down in Tinsel Town is very fun to say. Anyway best of luck if you plan on Summoning!

>>1911924
I was slightly interested in Jagganath and now slightly more but like with Willie Wildcat I can't be swayed by every big cat man's SQ.

>>1912335
>closest to their intended reading order
Cool figured that was the case but wanted to make sure thank you for confirming.

Also the past two Banners must be pretty tempting since they seem pretty tailored to you Jack Frost and now Christmas Nomad and Ganglie.

>>1912556
It's a Christmas Miracle that's it thank you for reminding me! Shame it's sold out I've never bought doujin before but I'd be really tempted for that one if I could.

https://housamo.info/news/newyear2026/

Welp my second husband got his 2nd alt feels so out of left field I'm too tired to comprehend but I have almost have 4 Sparks so this is what I've been saving for. The horse guy is Glashtyn so iirc all of us were wrong about his name/who he was. He's drawn by Zoyu/wuedti not Noku and he's Water Attribute not Fire but apparently Glashtyn in Folklore is sometimes a water horse or water bull. I think Aegipan is a new character they've never shown. Anyway I'm going back to bed now but best of luck if you plan on Summoning!

Turns out we already have skills and everything for the upcoming banner on the wiki and I read Takemaru and Glashtyn's Research Files because I couldn't help myself and both of them together really feels like it could be for a Valentines Event especially Takemaru's so I feel slightly slighted so thanks Lifewonders. But I have some hope that they do Takemaru justice after his Christmas alt felt lacking unless the only new/interesting info for this alt is also just in his Research File. His kit feels like he's part Valentine Krampus, Bigfoot, and his other two 5star versions so that's something. Glashtyn feels kinda like what a new age Tanngrisnir could be.

Also the translation for last years New Year's Event is already available it's officially called Shining New Year in English rather than First Shrine Visit with Daddy Snake.

>>1914044
That's true I only glanced on Wikipedia for a split second and focused in on him being water horse/bull in some sources since it would explain his Attribute being Water.

>>1914282
That's a fair assumption considering how long it can take to save. But I'm not a whale not sure if there's a name for it but I did spend money on a few packs during Bigfoot's debut Banner. I went back to hoarding everything until eventually I realized I still had 5 Paid Stones from that so I spent enough to get to 25 Paid Stones to get rid of them on the one time Paid Stone Banner with Amaterasu and Willie Wildcat last year. But since then I've just horded everything waiting for my favorites like I do with all the other Gacha games I play. Also reading Chapters 11-13 and completing the Free Quests from them has given me more Transient Stones than I would have otherwise.

>>1914424
Christ, I wish I had that amount to spark Takemaru. I couldn't even get lucky with his Christmas alt or even Surtr's 4* Valentine's alt...

I mean to be fair I had like 0 pulls 3 months ago and as of anniversary I had 158 pulls (spent 10 to try and summon Jack Frost so I currently have 148)

>>
>>1914507
Hey it's nice to see a fellow Takemaru enjoyer. I get it trying and failing to get your favorites it sucks especially just trying for a 4star. If we didn't have the ability to Spark I would have used more than 100 Summons just to get Nomad's Island 4star earlier this year. Though I want to reiterate I've been saving for years I failed to get Shennong's 1st Summer alt back in 2020 and that's why I started saving only for my absolute favorites and on occasion throwing like 20 Summons at a banner like for Summer Andvari for example. But anyway if you try to Summon for Takemaru I wish you the best of luck!

Kabukicho Night Festival finally done wasn't that bad considering it was 20 parts wished I finished it sooner but it's the holidays cant be helped.

This Event made me realize that at this point there are only three Transients connected to Aaru then again it was one of the less explored Worlds in terms of lore considering it was in like 3 Events. There's a student exchange program system of course we get picked to go to Kabukicho. Shiro and Kengo notice how one sided it is which later Sandayu and Kresnik said that it's pushed by Yoritomo and the other true guilds for intel gathering feels like that will be back soon. Suzuka gets more screen time see a new Rule/aspect of her katanas being able to cut the guardians of Yomi or Hades so that's something to add along with her Rule of Revelation. My biggest thing is did this Event basically retcon/rewrite most/all of Aaru's lore? I don't have my older notebooks with me right now and my current one only goes back to Episode 3 of ch.13 so can't I look back right now. At the end we learn the real Seth was working with Horus to be exiled from Aaru under the lie that he was the serpent Apophis unless he actually was I'll be real that was unclear to me. Also could you call that being exiled? But iirc Seth was falsely accused of murdering the current pharaoh then exiled as Ash voted against him and the whole thing was Horus's family pulling the strings. Sphinx said Seth was a bad guy that killed Horus's father yet that wasn't brought back up again. I'm not that versed in real Egypt Myth so dont know how faithful most of this is. You'd think me being fixated on Seth/Ash/Bael for a while id remember more but I've crammed 6 years of lore in little over a year its a lot to remember. Aaru also has a System of reincarnation you're physically the same without memories but if you're judged guilty even once you're sent to Duat for eternity. While Seth was in charge your soul would've been devoured by Apophis instead.

Sandayu being paid by Smoky God again. Him and Kresnik together again was fun and their use of his ability to dismember himself to fool one of the Sphinxes was cool and I figured that's where they were going with it. It was interesting to get more info on his betrayal by Goemon. He wasn't mad at the betrayal but its terrible execution. Id like to see him Goemon and Jiraiya interact. But I feel like I should be concerned when he thinks Sphinx would be a great fit for the Agents.

Ellie was bitten by the Ancestor and wonders why she chose her. I think this is the first mention of the Ancestor by name. Ellie does care about people even if she doesn't want to lowered to their level. Her kicking down the door to find Kres and Sanda in a tickle fight was funny and kinda a power move since she did that in a dress. But her interactions with Sphinx at first I though oh she's going to be OMG so cute. But then the whole sit on her lap and look up with quivering eyes/voice or the defiant attitude and how she can work with it happened. After finishing the Event I read all her Research Files in game and people who know her are suspicious of her near their kids and she was escorted from Kabukicho's Elementary department. Do we need to call this Tokyo's version of Chris Hansen?

Tsukuyomi showing up in an over the top why seems fitting and at least in this Event he's a 3rd year at Shinjuku. He can see the future kinda. His Rule allows him to take paths other have already taken and the Rule's vessel is a Magatama. Now I cant check but I thought his SA or I guess he one of them was a champagne tower? I feel like that was in Ch.10 or Thor's Memories and something about it being incomplete. He can use shadows to make weapons or clothes. I feel like Arachne would love to meet him even if her use of shadows is metaphorical. The game draws attention to the sword he uses looks like ours and his swordplay is identical but that's all it goes into. Of course he's

the brother of Amaterasu and Susanoo which they use MC3 for him were they foreshadowing so far in advance I wonder. He wanted to give Susanoo I place he could live since he was unable to walk in the suns light and took his place ruling the land of the dead. He even said half of his current appearance is due to his brother.

Kresnik was the star of the Event for me he's connected to the Ancestor and we get the reveal of Kudlak. Recap his experience in the PSD, how there is no final sacrifice as he kept killing and wished to stop but if he did what would have been the meaning of those deaths. How he got through to the students as he tells them this and how it can be scary when something outside your group/world can be but how even with like minded people grouping together any slight variation of your thinking can cause the group to collapse from the inside turning on each other. It was such a highlight for me. Then towards the end he transforms into something not human I thought oh a werewolf maybe....Nope he turned into a white horse. Then I had the biggest oh my God moment because that's why he's going to be relevant in the upcoming New Year's Event. How do I keep doing this where I read an Event/MS Ch. and a character in it gets featured in something new in like 2.5 seconds? It happened with Shino, Shennong, Azathoth, Kres and Sanda with this rerun while I was reading Ch.12 and now Kres again.

Sphinx was good. Him not being from Aaru but another world was cool because I did know Sphinxes aren't exclusive to Egypt Myth. He really is basically a kid who doesn't want to be alone after overseeing Aaru reincarnation cycle and being cast out of his HW. He doesn't even eat souls like other Sphinxes. It was relatable to want to remember the good times but staying in those memories isn't healthy. Sphinx and Abu/Abul (name was slightly inconsistent I noticed) was most likely thinking Ellie was Cleopatra. The riddle at the end was sweet.
>>
>>1917527
>unless he actually was
Yeah, they were implying the two were the same person. This was addressed in Seth's CQ too so it's at least consistent that far back.
It's not exactly accurate to their source but LW probably conflated the two as they're both Egyptian chaos deities. The other stuff with Seth killing Osiris (Horus's father) and his many other quarrels with his nephew does match up, however.


Also sparks or no, I wish you good luck on getting Takemaru, anon.

Happy New Year's Eve and all that. Takemaru proves why he's the 2nd husband and not the 1st since it took 150 Summons to get him (technically he was the 148th Summon I did a tenfold) while it took only 2 Lil' Salomon Tickets to get Shennong's 2nd alt. I got a copy of 5star Akiha Gongen at 82 Summons as a 4star animation spook but it took 113 Summons to get 4star Aegipan. Not the best but that's Gacha and I rather have it happen to me than someone else. Hopefully everyone else had better luck.

And of course I read Kresnik, Tsukuyomi, and Sphinx SQ would have read them all but I'm tired hopefully Ellie and Sandayu's didn't have anything of note.

Kres recaps his kind are only related to vampires. Wears glasses because he sees things he really doesnt need to. He's used to doing dirty work no one wants to do and we have some grape juice after cleaning up and look at the moon in the dawn as he recalls the Event. We see his scars he tries to hide so the students dont have to think about life that gave him those scars. Says to keep are pact a secret and at the end he turns into his horse form takes us away galloping over rooftops because why not. It was fine wished their was more but then again felt like he had more story in the Event than the others.

Tsuku shows us around the academy on the last day of K-fest. You can tell this was translated recently I've read the word yap/yapping a lot the past three Events. We can ask his plans for the future and he plans to stay in Kabukicho. We can have him read our fortune and tells us if we can grasp the flow of fate our path will surely open but it's not the fortune that's important but our actions. He says our escape from Abu's sanctuary betrayed his prediction at the start of the Event and that sanctuary act outside the laws of the world some refer to it as zero. So that's why Sphinx's 4star is Null Attribute I thought Infinity would have made more sense due to him overseeing the reincarnation cycle

of Aaru. The reading continues and he wanted to save Susanoo from the cycle that binds him and he acted as his double in their HW and took his SA after he was exiled. He proposes an alliance between our guilds to support us from the shadows. Not bad feels like I had more of a revelation about Sphinx than Tsuku

Sphinx ran an escape room blindfolds us takes us to a classroom that's actually a sanctuary and he wants to play a board game with us. Apparently he was unbeatable in Aaru yet those he played with never came back but prayed they'd overcome their trial while heading to Duat but of course when they did they were reincarnated and forgot everything. He thanks us for playing and wants everyone to play and theorizes how they'd play we try to leave and he locked the door again because he had to mess with us. I felt slightly bad for choosing the interrogation option since it said he started to cry.

>addressed in Seth's CQ too
I'm assuming his CQ was after his Valentine Alt since Seth possibly being Apophis was when that started. And I flipped through my notes and everything else in Aaru was basically reworked from Desert Journey where Seth was only falsely accused of killing but it was nobles who did it wanting the throne and wanted Seth out of the way so he basically was immediately exiled as a result. But now from my understanding he did kill the pharaoh ruled for a bit and was Apophis Horus fought him to be the WR seemingly still with family intervention then worked with Seth to exile him from Aaru. Unless him being Apophis was fake to get exiled since its implied and not 100% confirmed.


And thanks for the luck I'll say that's what made Takemaru show up before 200 Summons. I'm kinda tempted to go to 200 to get Glashtyn because why not. At this point I highly doubt there will be 3rd alts and the alts I don't have of my favorites probably aren't going to be reran anytime soon like Tanngrisnir and Krampus.

Can't say much about Moriyasu as I haven't looked at his Personal Data on the LiveAHero Wiki and while it seems Glashtyn might not be the most stand up guy according to his Research Files it doesn't take much to be better than Equus since he's such a pathetic insufferable character. He can't do anything right he's just the equivalent of an anime girl who slips and falls into cheap fan service even when he's not relevant. Even though I don't care for a lot of AE's cast Equus is probably my least favorite due to how insufferable he is. He's part of the reason I never read the Main Story past Chapter 0 since seeing him in Events is torture enough. Granted him getting another alt and the fact I really only like three characters makes it easier to save for them even if I feel like they deserve better with how they've been treated.


On a different note finally found some New Year's Takemaru fanart and I also noticed the Red Fencer enemy in the 2nd Phase of the hardest difficulty of the Fortune collection Quest is almost certainly a reference to In with the Ogres! Carpentry of the Heart and if so I think that's neat.

I finally decided to tackle Chapter 14 Prologue/preview and it had a slower start compared to Chapter 13's which I enjoyed more since that had a lot happening at the start a bit much to process. But they already ramp things up a bit by Downfall (3).

Christine monologues about how there is no originality but says the Entertainers shall change the script as this will be their last performance in This Tokyo. Then suddenly we get stabbed by Kirito. Psych we were reliving a memory from a past Loop from the CMSU's from a room the Underground Colosseum and Shuichi and R-19 are trying to decrypt the data. We recall the meetings of Mononobe's parts in Ch11 and 13 and how we resemble someone who passed away. Learn that Shuichi and Duo escaped from the Rule Makers then an explosion happens and R-19 who has contact with Duo is told to evacuate. the others stay underground but we are back on the surface. Then the past memory plays and Kirito dismembered us and Mononobe stands before him. Kengo and Ryota get called to help elsewhere and Shiro brings up the severed arm from all the way back in Ch.2. I will say I did know about the arm coming back in the story before I think it was here and two anons talked about it either when this was dropped or officially translated. Still have no idea exactly where this is going tho. So even though the culprit was never found Mononobe went to the police to suspend the investigation of the top suspect who was Kirito. But the victim was us? as apparently it's a exact match to the DNA in our profile. (what profile? how?). Bigfoot appears and says to come to Yurakucho. Learn about Whitechapel and the new background has a red spot with drag marks so thats fun. An undercover cop gets too close to the truth and gets abducted. We meet Bigfoot and he takes us to a pool area, met Barong officially in the MS. Hogen and co talk about the officer and his arm was severed but it's his SA so if he's alive it can be reattached.

Horus is with the investigation and Nobumichi debuts (And with my track record he's going to get a Valentine alt). Hogen mentions the Entertainers are suspected of Transient trafficking. (I guess Daikoku wasn't enough.) Barguest is working odd jobs for the Entertainers. Bigfoot swimsuit comes out of nowhere and he promises he's not lying about anything he's grateful we saved Wakan. He holds our hand to his chest and we recall Wakan Infinite scene from ch13. (thanks game I needed that emotional wound tore open again.) He says he is to fulfill Wakan's duties as WR. Bigfoot there're two very big things here...aside from your big bull pecs do you mean WT Infinity? what about regular WT does he not have the ability of a WR anymore since WTI was separated? So where is he now? Did we just leave him on the pavement after ch13? Second I'm concerned they pointed out Bigfoot grabbed our hand with the Ring on it. Curren Betro and AIsaac talk Curren mentions how the others plans failed and mentions someones graduation? Bertro? AIsaac? Both? She then ends the call and the animation they used jumpscared me. Is it obvious I don't do horror? After the pool we wake up Barguest tells us to be careful and Christine talks to us about faith in god/gods and how such beings must see life as a comedy and Mononobe/Solomon must have felt the same. She leaves calling Bigfoot an interloper. Bael and Horus talk about the Game and how the cases seem more involved with the Game. Horus can revive the dead with his Coffin SA you know the one with his fathers corpse in it which checks out considering the F-Kare collab. Bael talks about how every WR went into a panic when the arm in Shinjuku was found and even the WPs couldn't piece anything together Horus and Korpokkur were against the alliance between the RM and E while Ahura Amazda (name debut) was for it. Kirito is with the RMs and says hes not at fault for his past Guilds ending then suddenly Arc is finally back

and was looking for Kirito to comeback as family. surprised Arc would want that. They get chased off and Q'ursha helps them while Israfil talks with Kirito. Pazuzu debuts. finally the Beast tamers are being relevant again and tells Kres about the arm and its possibly from a dragon/Wrym. They're bring this back I see. The arm or at least the sample is still alive like a lizards tail. Oh and serpents tend to change their appearance based on whose observing them Pazuzu thinks the one behind this wanted a crime that affected no one. Amduscias debuts joining he Entertainers so achieve his dream of being an idol Barong says it can happen if you give up yourself to them body and soul. I don't care for that. The RM's attack Beast Tamers and Yuma debuts. Pazuzu gets attacked too and Hastur debuts and takes care of them easily Pazuzu gets touchy feely. Bigfoot stops us from leaving he says he likes us then Beowulf (who debuted earlier) attacks us or rather a stunt double made by Christine. BW is a Game Master and Christine knows they want us dead to restart the Game. Kirito finds us and says Mononobe told him everything after he met us but is going to kill us. Barguest reports to the Wanderers and Hermes has his Main Story debut. Q'u figures out Arc was going to charge into the RM's main Portal by themselves. Did Arc lose braincells since Ch9? learn about RMs belief system of one deity to guide them. Yuma hates he's not a therian his SA injects him with something to turn him into one. Get exposition of how there cant be one all powerful all knowing deity this world is finite but AIsaac tells Tuaring it can work if there are multiple like smaller versions. Bigfoot wants to protect us as he understands WT Infinite's feelings and says he loves us. That was cute, a little soon, and also not the time Bigfoot. Kirito hates that sentiment and says there's no such thing as love/family you can count on and wishes he could unlearn what Mononobe told him.

He used to call us family. He says he'll free us of this world and he'll also be gone from this stage. Bigfoot uses WT's powers and Kirito freaking stabs him then us. (LW stop having bull mean get stabbed for plot!). Christine says this always happens and she changes the script since Bigfoot has never been a WR before, the all powerful is in their laps (the 3rd of Mononobe Curren has?), and the Urban legend (Kirito? he is kinda Tokyo's Jack the Ripper). Those things make the 2nd condition complete thanks to Kirito's SA making contact with us and Bigfoot and we see digital Solomon? start to manifest. Curren says its human evolution and its Utopian proof existence The Null Exception Overlord. I'm sorry the same Overlord that Michael and Bathym mentioned eons ago?! And if we made the Exception then I don't like where this is going I'm having PTSD. So yeah not as 100% out of the gate crazy as ch13 preview but I like that since it really does feel like we might not have slower Chapters like 5, 9 and part of 12 anymore. Bigfoot I'm sorry I doubted you I should trust 90% of bull men I meet! I did have a theory since ch10 that the arm was ours and it was do to space time shenanigans from using Double Dragon because it was our arm that was badly damaged every time we used it. But I realized we never had DD before this Loop and with how the Loops work that's out the window. But I feel like I might have been spoiled about the arm/the inspiration behind it but not from the game or social media but somewhere else in the stupidest silliest way but I'll save it for later. But I wonder if we/mc are a doppelganger or Ni no Kuni Soulmate and the arm is from This Tokyo's us/Mc somehow and they're the one Mononobe was alluding to us looking like who passed away? Are we somehow related to Kirito whose somehow related to Mono/Solomon? But Kirito is Null Attribute so he might not be of the world like Gorzaemon? or maybe its just his SA and he's Tokyo native

>Did Arc lose braincells since Ch9?
MC was a bad influence... Now they're acting like an anime protagonist too.
Well, Arc did value their found family a lot even before this and it's only gotten smaller.

>the same Overlord that Michael and Bathym mentioned
Hmm... I don't think so. Like Curren said, that Overlord has stronger ties to Utopia rather than Eden or Gehenna. After a quick review of Ch.11's script again, to me it sounds more like Bathym's conversation with Mephistopheles was about Shaytan/Lucifer, Mephi was accused of taking his lord's place as a representative and all that. Also worth noting that the terms used in both occasions were different in Japanese, 御方 in Ch.11 as opposed to the transliteration used in Ch.14, オーヴァーロード.

Either Main Story Shino with all the Hakkenshi or Red Hood, whichever comes first I suppose. (I'm almost certain Red Hood will be a Limited in April but I can only hope he's Standard)

I have had DYSTHYMIA / MELANCHOLYISM and CaLiban's C[ ]own PeRsonalities just playing in my head all day today Chapters having their own songs really adds more to them. The piano in CCP really reminds me of Cynthia's encounter theme from Pokémon.

>>1925995
>Arc did value their found family a lot
That is true poor Arc going through losing their real and found families just trying to keep what they can. Technically unless I’m mistaken they lost their little brother twice since he’s the one on Azathoth’s throne like in suspended animation. Again I could be misremembering but I think that's what was said in Ch8. Also slightly related it now makes more sense why the 6th Anniversary featured the Genociders.

>Hmm... I don't think so.
Yeah I had wondered that. Michael mentioned Overlord at the start of Canaan if I remember correctly while Bathym was in Ch11 and I think he said “our Overlord” which I think I mentioned it made me question back then if it’s one in the same since Eden and Gehenna are so close. Or if it's Gehenna’s Overlord/implying there are multiple.

>both occasions were different in Japanese
Huh well I wonder why they didn't have a distinction in the translation? You always bring up things I wouldn't have known or thought about which I'm very appreciative of.


>>1926054
>Red Hood will be a Limited in April
I feel like that is a strong possibility and maybe even Koshchei on the other New Semester Banner unless he's reserved for a Main Story Banner. Whether its Shino's rerun or Red Hood's playable debut that happens first I wish you the best of luck on your Summons! Oh and if you haven't already don't forget to get the Lil' Salomon Tickets from Andvari's Shop and from the New Years shop one as well.

That's how I remember it too. The "subjects" from that school really only had each other on the same side, I could see them being pretty knit together before the worst happened.

>why they didn't have a distinction
Lack of foresight or communication maybe? I actually couldn't find Michael mentioning the name in Canaan's script, but I imagine they were probably trying to keep it consistent with their early TL, and at that point whoever was translating didn't know there'd be an actual character named Overlord in the future.

Equus is the dev's pet. He gets a new scene or more at least once a year and it's obvious, how much he's favorited when some units are lucky to get a scene in 2 years.
>>
>>1926761
>couldn't find Michael mentioning the name in Canaan's script
Oh my god I spent the past hour and 30 minutes flipping through my notes, looking at the Event timeline, then going to Michael's wikiwiki page (and thankfully avoided spoilers) to double check his on screen appearances since his debut in Ch.8 through Ch.11, skimming through the archive channel and unless I missed something he does not mention/say Overlord at any point in that time frame. So unless I'm forgetting something then Mephistopheles and Bathym's conversation in Ch11 Ultimate Weapon Activated (3) is the first instance of Overlord/a Overlord being mentioned aside from Yam being called one as you have reminded me. Which I assume isn't the same as the other instances in the Main Story. I think the reason I thought Michael mentioned Overlord was in Canaan's Epilogue the game says how Michael remembers a promise related to the great flood and the voice that spoke after. "That voice, so it was said, belonged to the Creator of Light, whom the town called the Lord, who formed a covenant with the world." Maybe since Canaan and Ch.11 are just about a year apart and on the timeline they are almost right next to each other so my brain filled in the rest and that's probably how I got my wires crossed regarding Overlord.


>whenever I bring up stuff like that.
You're fine. I like learning about details and differences like that it makes going through everything more enjoyable.

>>1926772
>Equus is the dev's pet.
I feel like I seen somewhere that Equus is a dev's fursona/OC or something. So if that's true it would explain things but you'd think him having the entirety of Day & Night in Pays Blanc to be so pathetically incompetent and Casino City to be so insufferably stupid would be enough but it's not. I know some people like him however I'm not one of them but him getting another alt makes it easier to save for those I do like.

I read Blessings and Tribulations: The Rabbit of Fortune.

It was fine slightly annoyed towards the end tho. We had an anime bump into someone while running with bread in our mouth moment choose left was Hakumen right was Smoky God. Learn about Inaba and he's...fine really not too much to work with. He deceived his shark friends, met Onamuchi, apparently made amends with the sharks who help him look for Ona. Find transient light gets summoned to Tokyo with his closest friend among the sharks. He calls us master despite us never forming a pact officially and we didn't Summon him either. Then again at this point Summoning is 90% of the time Transient has a wish get Summoned to Tokyo thanks to rainbow light/bridge without a mentioned of answering a Summoning Call by someone. Ebisu, Beten and Hotei are sharing a braincell that might be at 60% efficiency. Ebisu was from Takamagahara and went to the Land of Wa as an infant. Daikoku starting to sweat a bit because of those three was fun to see and the real one was the cringiest edgelord. learn about how Ona before becoming Okuninushi he did what he thought was right and helped those in need. Mahakala gets name dropped which I didn't remember from when I read this the 1st time which spoils a fair bit. Now my hang up is that its revealed Maha and the real Dai have the same Role and Rule so thats why real Dai cant be Summoned to Tokyo. However the real one apparently entrusted Okuni with his name, body, Role and Rule then how can Okuni be in Tokyo if its the same R&R as Maha? But they mention Maha is cut off from their R&R due to being sealed in the Planes of Nihility. Then why have the plot point of the real Dai cant be Summoned due to same R&R as Maha in the first place? But there's more as apparently Okuni can just use his old Role instead of the real Dai's Role because those can be swapped and given out I guess. This is Ch9?/Ch.10? Odin shenanigans all over again but I'm too tired to think anymore.

>>1931234
>Then why have the plot point [...] in the first place?
Yeah, unfortunately I don't have a good answer either. Even in their original myths, understanding how Okuninushi, Daikokuten, Mahakala and Shiva are connected can get a bit messy, maybe we can accredit that as irl lore accuracy on LW's part?

...SkillDB's survey results on story logic vs satisfaction were not lying in my case.

The 2025 Unofficial Housamo Skill Database Survey results were posted I'm not exactly sure when must have been in the past 4-5 days since I last checked.

A lot of information kind of almost too much to process especially a lot of the charts/graphs made up solely of connecting lines. It's still interesting to see current thoughts about the game, how people would react to the idea of gamma/NagareboshiPurin characters getting drawn by different artists, the unsurprising sentiment about translation schedule, reading through all the free form question responses actually seen one of mine in the mix, and of course the popularity poll Shennong getting 3rd, Wakan Tanka getting 22nd and Takemaru tied for 61st. Krampus, Arsalan, and Nomad placed in the top 25. While my other favorites were lower but for the most part in the top 50% overall so that's a small win in my book.

>how Okuninushi, Daikokuten, Mahakala and Shiva are connected can get a bit messy
Huh well tonight I learned something new. I should have realized that they were connected in actual myth but never knew. But I do wish the specifics of R&Rs were clearer. That whole thing might make this my least favorite New Years Event.

>results on story logic vs satisfaction
I think I rated that a 4 even with the things I've noticed/questioned I still enjoy it from the perspective of an ongoing story of 9 years. Even if that might cloud my judgement a little when 3 might be a more unbiased answer.

I don't remember having to do anything special with the Snake HDQ, maybe focus on getting rid of Yig first with a hard-hitting unit and then pick off any remaining mobs.
For the Horse HDQ, my main issue was Glashtyn's Bind when hit which can be countered with Pazuzu or MQ Nyarl's debuff removals so other units can properly deal or mitigate damage, whichever is easiest for you.

Takemaru actually got a Special Quest! I was certain it wasn't going to happen but I'm very glad I was wrong.

>>1931981
Probably a bit late but just in case like the other anon said for Yig's don't take out the other enemies he get's healed after they leave. If Yig and an enemy are defeated at the same time he doesn't get healed. You can use your own Yig and a Support New Year Takemaru if Takemaru's close enough on the 1st turn move him behind Yig so Yig gets his Charge Skill on the 2nd turn to grant Guts again if needed. Yig can do a fair amount of damage thanks to Limit and Poison Strengthening this works even if they're the only two on your team.

https://litter.catbox.moe/9o7d96c2su6aj54y.mov

For the other Quest you could use 4star Maria with her Skill Evo Myrrh Martyr and her Charge Skill Evo to cheese it with only her and a Support Tropical Toxic Summer Shennong. Shennong has Purification to help stop Glashtyn's Skill Lock and he gives Maria Glint making her chance to grant herself Guts When Hit 60% for two turns. Shennong also has Guts along with Dazzle and Evasion to help tanking. Just move them to the corner where Takemaru is to take less damage. Everyone getting Charge Skill Weapon Change to All actually helps Maria since her CS Evo grants her Damage Reversal for a turn. If she does get taken out she heals allies within two spaces a little bit so that can help. Things are even easier if you have the AR Card Where are you going? but it's doable without. Summer Leib, Sports Chernobog, and Yig could also be used for Guts support

First up is a Winter Refresh Transient Summon Banner featuring

Heracles 3 and 5star
Ahab 3 and 5star

I hate being under the weather and this Sheer Cold weather doesn't help. But I finally finished Valentine Snowball Fight.

It was enjoyable I think I liked it better than Battle of The Valentines but while the snowball fights were fun and there were character moments within them I felt as if there wasn't as much for the Characters. It felt kinda like a mini Mystic Christmas. But the Event overall was a fun setting changed up the theme to be camo suits/bathhouse valentine but I prefer when the Valentines Events give characters more causal clothes. Tez still being Tez and same goes for Andvari. While it felt slightly out of left field Tezzy Wezzy War Kitty is stupid silly and fun to say. Zab got to have a little fun yet thought about punishment after...so close to the days of Seaside Summer School/Halloween. Which that brings me to how I wish we have more Events like those where we aren't trying to stop the world from ending due to new character of the month we kinda got that this time. We did get a few tidbits from Mephistoples calling us divine one, "My Faust" which after learning about the origins of Meph through that tale I now understand why he's the WR of Gehenna. mentions his useless other half and how he doesn't want him to be helpful as that's when we're in dire straits. They really said screw it spoil stuff with the newer events. Also the black marks on his face are sideways M's I feel so stupid it hit me just now. Then Shennong oh the close eyes open mouth say ahh and the need warmth moments is what drove my desire for him to have a Valentine Alt 200 fold years ago. (I wish LW was 10% as greedy as Fire Emblem Heroes with alts seriously Lyn got two alts within three months last year.) But back to Shennong the things I'd (consensually) do with that man to make him moo in my hotel room this Event would make Shaytan's fall from Eden look like childs play. The fact he said the teasing parts with Arsa and Zab right next to us

instead of waiting felt slightly out of character also troublemaker becomes our new name from him. Maybe its me coping/trying to connect dots that aren't there but I do think maybe Shennong was planned to have an alt for this Event as he could have been a parallel with Giri regarding failing even diving into how Shen wanted to run away from it all as mentioned before and how he didn't have the support Giri did. He did say he never got used to the Battlefield and hopes he never does. Idk maybe it was planned it would have been 2 1/2 years since VSM they probably tried to reach out to Noku but failed since it was during his time of playing Final Fantasy 14 to purify his soul so they threw in Yori last minute.

Anyway as for the characters

Tanetomo I still don't care for mainly due to Main Story actions regarding Ellie and Marduk. We just get a slight expanded look on their backstory. They do have a petty rivalry with Shinya fighting to be the one to be doted on. Them saying Shinya acts fragile when he's not that was a pot meet kettle moment. But I will say all of that could be due to the fact they don't want to be useless and cast aside but would be okay with being cut down (I assume it would be more noble to be killed than alive and deemed/feel useless?) hence their actions in the MS as they're codependent on Yorimoto. I can acknowledge being apart of the driving force for their actions even if I'm not the biggest fan and again this is stuff we can see during the MS so not really new ground.

Shinya actually enjoying himself after leaving his old Guild due to reasons (Gee I wonder why?) was nice But it felt a tad samey his Rule was the focus. Him actually being happy Tanetomo hates him was interesting and he even uses his Rule to exploit people at Tane's expense of course they did say it was a waste that he didn't use it like that. His interactions/parallels with Girimekra was nice though.

Jacob. God take a shot every time he says love. I did with water and I've been so hydrated while reading this Event. He remembers in a past Loop that the cause for him being so enamored with us was we were both in the Missionaries and bonded but one day the ground collapsed and we fell but we were smiling until the end. He couldn't save us as his SA was Uriel's and can't save us due to Eden's hierarchy. It has always stayed with me that he is a Tokyo native yet has Eden's World Pillar. Unless I'm forgetting someone/something the WP has always at this point in the story been with a Transient from that World. Wonder Michael feels to have both of Eden's pillars out of his grasp?

Yoritomo really felt like a last minute addition especially since we just get a recap of him being scared of his brother and that was at the tail end of this Event at episode 7. We know now was tricky and seemed invincible but eventually died securing Yori the title of Noble Source. His reactions to us were interesting to see since this is the first on screen interaction with him and Tez making it impossible for him to avoid us.

Girimekra was the standout and really it wasn't hard reminds me of Suzuka/Tajikarao and Licho. Wanting to prove himself to be one others can rely on yet fails. He's a Shadow/doppel/Maha like situation granted being from Shangri-La/Deva Loka tends to be slightly confusing. It is admirable that he never really gave up despite his doubts even if he felt bad about the support he got but everyone needs help at times. Airavata being a more reasonable/neutral? entity was a nice change of pace yet was kinda there then gone felt like the outcome could have been the same without them. In the end even if his actions changed things slightly, still lost to the Warmongers, and still really doesn't have a full answer for Gorozaemon was kinda refreshingly realistic yet still feel good and both were Guru's at one point. Also Giri has very little SFW art.

Sounds like you could use an Ice-type for that immunity. Stay safe over there, anon.

>more noble to be killed
That and the fact all eight dogs are effectively "cursed" with embodying specific virtues is what I was thinking. Tane doesn't even like Yoritomo that much, but since he's part of the lineage they were entrusted with serving, they don't have a say on the matter. Granted, I don't think twisting a sword in Ellie's stomach was particularly virtuous, but being deathly cunning is part of who they are too for better or worse.

>refreshingly realistic
Agreed, and so was the rest of the event involving Girimekra. They acknowledge how demoralizing constant failure is, how being offered help can also feel empty when you don't have anything to show for it. He even had an easy way out in front of him that you wouldn't normally have, but he managed to stay true to himself anyway despite his doubts. Not having an instant or guaranteed solution kinda felt more satisfying to me.
