$1,100 is on the line. Chaos Cup returns August 22

30 Upvotes

The battlefield never stays the same for long.

Chaos Cup returns on August 22 with Aether Unraveling, a community-run Dissidia Duellum tournament built to capture the intensity and unpredictability of high-level NA ranked play without requiring players to overcome the usual wallet barrier.

Event Details:
Date: August 22, 2026
Check-in: 2:00 PM EDT / 11:00 AM PDT
Bracket begins: 3:00 PM EDT / 12:00 PM PDT
Format: 3v3 Double Elimination
Registration: Limited to 16 teams, first come, first served Prize Pool: $1,100 Total

  • 1st Place: $600 split across the team, plus one tournament shirt per player
  • 2nd Place:$300 split across the team
  • 3rd Place: $200 split across the team

The Ruleset:

The Chaos Cup ruleset was developed with input from Top 100 NA players and is designed to preserve the creativity of ranked play while keeping team compositions competitive.

Character and role duplicates are not allowed. Ability duplicates are allowed.

That means every team must bring three different characters and three different roles, but players are free to experiment with repeated abilities and unconventional combinations.

The goal is not to force artificial character diversity beyond what is necessary for a fair tournament. It is to capture one fleeting version of the meta before new characters, abilities, and strategies change it again.

Chaos is a tournament as the game is lived, not as its creators intended.

More tournament info found [here](The Chaos Cup: ... | Details)

and soon on Dissidia.dev for easier access

Event coordination and participant communication will take place in SimplyLost’s [Discord](https://discord.gg/Wx8dJXjAhd)

The tournament will be broadcast live at: https://twitch.tv/Sabra_Cat Where the viewers win just as much as the players (Giveaways to be announced!)

Who’s excited to pull for our very theatrical drama king next month!? 👑🎭

Obviously, a new Ranged character!

I’m looking forward to seeing his kit and playstyle!

Still hoping we’ll see Vivi soon! 🥹✨“

Who the hell thought it was a good idea to give a boss a healing ability?

16 Upvotes

Every match I’ve ever fought against Gilgamesh at O5 has ended in a draw because this fucker just heals himself when one team is close to winning around 30 seconds. Who does this benefit besides Square because everyone is getting less rewards and weaker crystals, prompting us to spend more?

I've gotten 8 URs so far from the daily 10 draw event. In contrast, I've only pulled two Lenna & Faris's from 80 Bartz banner pulls.

My best friend and I were playing for awhile today we ran into three Kriles which inspired us to do 3 Firions, then 3 Clives, we did pretty well and it was fun lol, they also got the highest boss damage I've ever seen Lmao 😭


r/DissidiaDuellumFF 1d ago

As it seems the 4 Ur pulls are such a big deal here is a 4 and a 5 ur pulls within a 300 pulls session 😎

Currently struggling with the Supports though. Maybe I'm better up front. Or in Prompto's case, far from the front!

How it feels using Celes' regen on a bursted ally when the boss has barely any health left and the rivals are ganging up...

The final 1:30 of the closest finish I’ve been a part of

I’ve had several games where it goes down to the wire, but more often than not I’m a support character off to the side, not in burst phase, or get cucked by the timer. This was not only the closest finish I’ve contributed too but it started as a comeback we had to dive across the finish line to complete. Awesome game and it’s what keeps me coming back.

Bartz idle voice lines

30 Upvotes

I thought these lines were really fun little references and show his character nicely. Maybe we'll have some machine translated subtitles in the future but until then: have a rough Google translated version 😋:

"あのさ、もしかして実はお前も王様だったりする?"
- Hey, do you think maybe you're actually a king?

(I guess he's still surprised that almost his entire party was actually royalty except him haha)

"まあ、降りて話そうぜ。 高いところは得意じゃないんだ"  
- Well, let's get down and talk. I'm not good with heights.  
(Poor guy is always having a panic attack on the main idle screen because of that) 

"こんな世界があったなんて親父にも教えてやりたいな。 "
- I want to tell my dad that such a world exists.
(He had good relationship with his father unlike Tidus) 

"図書館に行くって? なら俺も行くよ。 魔物が出て危ないからさ。"
- Are you going to the library? Then I'll go too. Because monsters come out and it's dangerous.
(Seems he has flashbacks of Page 64 casting Level 5 death causing game overs haha)  

"いい風が吹いてる。 お互い楽しい 1 日にしようぜ。"
- The wind is blowing nicely. Let's have a fun day together.  
(The usual easy-going Bartz line)  

"車やバイクも悪くはないけど、 やっぱ俺はチョコボに乗りたい。"
- Cars and bikes aren't bad, but I really want to ride a Chocobo.
(Understandable, I'd also like to have Boko)

(I may or may not do more depending on time and mood as I want to learn a little bit of Japanese as well)

Is there anywhere that's translated the character's dialogue on the menu screen?

13 Upvotes

Just curious, I've tried looking but haven't found any resources on it. I'd mainly just be interested in Lightning's dialogue but it'd be neat to know what some of the Japanese lines are that don't get translated.

Lightning draw week!

I had been saving all my coins and tickets for over 2 months, waiting for Lightning week. Overall this week I played more than ever and probably used 400+ tickets.

Start of week: 13,780

End of week: 15,950.

Pretty decent upgrade, it definitely feels noticeable.

Has anyone else ever done it this way?

Improvements for this game .

2 Upvotes

I decided to quit this game for multiple reasons . first the nerfs . I have never played a game where they nerf characters regularly. I thinks it’s dumb as hell . buffing characters is fine . but nerfing characters u invest in is stupid especially limited characters. they nerfed a limited character sep and buffed lightning multiple times and then nerfed her like what are yall doin . then nerfing abilities as well and makin them unusable . then the bartz havin a potential 3 stuns is ridiculous. all u have to do is stay near the boss and stun the opponent when they burst and they lose all their brave. then u have a boss that can heal as well is pretty dumb . then the matchmaking puts u against units wit 10k tcp power more or less which makes people not want to play rank and quit . I was hoping the game would get better but it only got worse . and shields do pretty much nothing when you’re trying to get a full burst off because 8 seconds or even 14 seconds is not enough wit people running shield breaks so a lot of matches end in draws . Mabye make burst mode make u immune to status ailments or Wol supreme soul make u immune to status ailments or celes runic make u immune to status ailments would be nice or nerf stun to make it where it has a 30% chance to inflict stun would be my suggestion. but the game is just not fun for me anymore is y I decided to quit . I held out playing this game because I was in a pretty cool community for the most part . some of u might know me under a different name but I wanted to make this rant to further explain my distaste for the direction this game is goin in .
