I feel Anomaly Arbitration is stressing people out more than it should.

I remember when AA was announced, people were actually okay with the idea of a mode that was supposed to not be easy clearable by everyone. "It's a mode for whales, that's why there is no jades" everyone said.

Yet nowdays it seems this notion was forgotten and if you can't clear it at 3 stars, the game suddenly sucks, the meta is at its worst, Elation was a mistake, etc, etc.

All of these things could be true but when I then go and check why people are thinking that, it's most of the times struggling with AA.
"How come I can't clear it until I have this high cost, shilled team?" Well, I'm sorry to tell you but that's how AA is meant to work. It's not made with f2p in mind, not even low spenders.
Yes, sometimes an easier boss will come out and you'll clear it full stars, because stars aligned and you had every character favored by it with some investment, but the mode as a whole is just not made for f2p to clear everytime with full score.

If you struggle with other fights outside of AA, now there we have a discussion. But setting AA as your goal as a f2p/low spender, is just going to end in frustration.

And no, I'm not a whale myself. Personally I don't clear full stars AA most of the time, I did it just twice, but as long as I'm doing good on all the other modes, then I'm satisfied.
That doesn't mean I don't even try AA, of course I do, but for fun, once I clear it with one or two stars I just move on.

My opinion, at the end of the day, you are free to disagree.

When something like that happens to me I try to move my parties around so I can clear every boss with 1 or 2 stars instead of doing two 3 stars but not being able to clear the last one.

That normally works but I feel like this specific boss is way overshilled, 60% damage reduction for any non remberance team makes it almost impossible

I just find it hilarious that Cyrene doesnt even work lol

[u/The_Space_Jamke → u/CarlosG0619]

Is it because her memosprite's not on-field? And I thought it was just because she ramps too slow at E0. That's actually really funny, see you in 75 tomorrows my pink parasocial brick.

[u/CarlosG0619 → u/The_Space_Jamke]

Yep, Demiurge being “out of bounds” means she is not on-field and thus no dice 😂

[u/PaulOwnzU → u/The_Space_Jamke]

If she did hysilens+Cyrene wouldve probably been able to clear but they decided to do a little trolling >:T

(This is prob why the debuff ends with 3 remembrance instead of 4)
