The Encounter that ended the Dogma

Pinecone has gotten a welfare costume (Reddit source) for CN, with Girlish Pigtails and an idol aesthetic.

I like the skin but I agree that it almost looks like a new op entirely. I'm prolly gonna switch between that and the E2 art if I e2 her, prolly based on Mood of whether I have Sora in the squad in the time.

I feel like this kind of skin is kinda a waste because we have a sub-class that consists exclusively of songstresses. And yes, I think Ambience Synesthesia skin series is also kinda a waste.

Also, why would our first step to Victoria has Rhodes think, "Hmm, the way to solve Not!Norman Invasion is by singing at them"?

Pinecone's new costume is basically Haachama [lol]

[up][up][up] Thing is the Ambience Synesthesia skins seem to be more of a generall musician bent (note that the current Idol Singer units don't have instruments) and I kinda think HG won't do any Diversity alts for 6*s besides Lava and maybe Kroos. Plus its a free costume.

[up] Haachama's hairstyle is somewhat different, yes she has pigtails, but her hair isn't entirely tied up in them. The Vtuber's hairstyle is closer to those of say Emilico and Kate.

No, Angelina's fine. It's just the support system being beyond awful, as usual, combined with this map having the stupid CM sanity costs and 200 enemies. ._.

my support options are forever full of amiya and pramanix and weedy and skyfire, none of whom are slightly helpful here

In a recurring game of "Where the Hell My Luck is Being Redirected To," I pinpointed it to Arknights this time because I got the TO tag again. Went for Saria.

Seriously, it's barely like three days since last time.

Can I have TO please? I want more Skadi chances.

Anyway, got a Thorns to show up (a few times) and finally beat the map. Also go Red to S7 because... I don't know. She didn't need more for her role, but why not? Red's cute.

I feel like between Top and Senior, Senior is more a crapshoot of the two. The entire time I've been playing, I only got 2 Senior while Top usually appear every 2 months or so. In fact, yesterday I got a Top Op tag when I already have everyone in the pool. Ends up choosing AoE for Ifrit's sweet extra 4% res down.

I forget if I said it here already, but the Sarkaz are really a messed-up lot, aren't they? Especially the Kazdel natives.

AlaAlba Since: Jun, 2011
#3939: Sep 9th 2021 at 7:17:27 AM

I mean, when the collective subconscious of the Sarkaz celebrates Amiya as both the Sarkaz's rightful king and the greatest Catastrophe the world will know, you know that the Sarkaz is up there with the Abyssals in term of dangerous eldritch threat.

Because Darknights Memoir is mostly the grassroot point of view of Kazdel civil war, the reason of the civil war (other than that Theresis thinks that he makes a better king) actually isn't that obvious. We have to wait for Vigilo for that.

I don't even mean eldritch threat, I just mean that their culture's pretty damn nihilistic as a baseline, then you add in the weird transient view of their own identities that comes from attaching no importance to names and the weapon thing...

Do you know what it means to pick up the blade of a fallen Sarkaz?

Chapter 8 spoilers: which is exactly what Amiya does with the old Sarkaz king.

Chapter 9 trailer drops, looks like Dublinn will be the main enemy faction in Victoria. The last part of the trailer is different though. We know that after Maria rerun, it's going to be omnibus event, so it shouldn't have become an emergency siren alarm like the time Chaldea got frozen.

Reed's sister?

Makes sense, the Aslan think they're the uncontested rulers of Victoria, but if the Draco show up again (and Reed herself is associated with Dublin) then...

I hate how completely worthless practice mode is for anything you might want to actually use practice mode for, because then you have to do the exact same thing again anyway and the execution is often just as important as the strategy. ._.

Yeah. It can be good to get used to things ahead of time and not get blindsided by a Sarkaz Shaman or something, but otherwise, agreed.

It's been fun.

Please, let me save an autodeploy from practice mode. If I have something that can run in practice mode, without supports, let me keep it. Do not make me do skill activations twice. Especially if a run actually included RNG in some form... orz

While it would be nice if succeeding on practice also counted as a clear (or rather, if practice mode didn't exist and you just got a complete sanity refund for failure no matter what), even in its imperfect form it's still pretty useful precisely for practicing those timings that are so difficult. So you can keep trying it again and again until you consistently get them right, and don't waste sanity screwing them up in the actual map.

The idea, I suppose, is that you actually have to come up with a plan that works and that you can execute, as opposed to getting lucky once by accident.

Which is great... except that there are RNG based effects, which can occasionally have more timing requirements than needed. Or just the attention demands of fast redeploy operators.

Looking at you, bindy caster guys and lancers.
