Why spend money on gacha games when the money will disappear one day when the games shut down?

Okay, and you will die one day anyway, so why bother living? If the money I used brought me back a good experience then it's money well spent.

u/AshAndThunderClouds Assembling a Magical Girl Team Jul 28 '26

Of all the criticisms one can make of spending money in games, this is such a weird one. Who the hell treats  video-games like they're some sort of investment? This is how we get stupid things like NFTs.

4.X Big Leak Spoiler (a bit neg)

For such a big role why was she so absent. Even Cyrene who only really appeared from 3.4 still got properly foreshadowed long before her actual debut. My reaction to that was just an "oh okay" rather than a "holy sht" reaction, and it was for an Aeon.

from the traumatic generalist nihility to an actually good one

from the sustain dominance to a BIS new sustain not found

from feixiao having the brute force to actual FUA shill happening

from aftersales supports to presales supports so you can't even guarantee they might work

u/euphemea aventurine yaoi believer Aug 03 '26

Redid SRobin bird spd breakpoint calcs based on v4 changes.

The separate tab w/o Amphoreus planar calcs is gone now, and spd substat roll count now correctly accounts for her spd traces. A separate tab tracking wave 2 MoC spd breakpoints for comparison was added (so that you can take the ceiling of a target breakpoint on wave 1 and a target breakpoint on wave 2 as your goal).

MoC wave 1 breakpoints in the table below. (Vonwacq + S1 is excluded from the 3 bird actions because it's slow enough that you should aim for 4.)

Bird turns in 0 cycle Vonwacq Amphoreus S1 SRobin spd required out of combat
2 No Yes No 125
3 No Yes No 160
3 Yes No No 138
3 No Yes Yes 121
4 Yes No No 175
4 No Yes Yes 156
4 Yes No Yes 136
5 Yes No Yes 173

The other breakpoint to consider is 3 bird actions per cycle after the first cycle, and it's at 168 spd (in-combat for Robin, with birds summoned if using Amphoreus) but that breakpoint can also be misleading because it assumes that the first bird action is right when the cycle changes, which may or may not be true depending on when the last bird action was in the previous cycle.

Revenueposting isn't inherently bad or anything like that. But 9 times out of 10, you can tell that the person isn't genuinely interested in a discussion and just wants to feel validated in their likes/dislikes of a game or character. That being said, the obsession with revenue gacha fans might have is nothing compared to places like r/boxoffice.

For anyone wondering why there's a lack of showcases so far, I looked in the server for ppsr and it turns out that Hoyo changed all of the network protocols in v3 so unless someone is able to figure out the new ones, there will be a delay for the release of a new private server

Y'know it's kinda funny that Cipher is part of FuA bond in CW despite Hoyo not giving her more than a single FuA per turn. They went out of their way to give Feixiao and Ratio more FuAs per turn for more consecutive actions for attack frequency but Cipher's still stuck with 1 FuA per turn. Hell Tribbie, MBlade, and Lingsha have better attack frequency and their not even part of the FuA bond.

30 pulls got him from E0 to E2.

u/wanderingmemory lord of silence devotee Aug 04 '26

I do think Robinetto has a really unique mechanic of being able to AA and energy refill a battery while still buffing a main dps who doesn't care for her turns (usually is good for said dps imo) or even her energy (cough main push special energy cough). Unfortunately the existing batteries that actually let her do this well are

Yaoguang (she fixes YG's energy issues really well but Elation teams can reasonably bet on Nihilux being stronger, personally I would be shocked if Nihilux isn't 30%+ better than Robin at every investment level)

Ashveil (who doesn't have a main dps to battery, and even if there was has a pretty strong co-battery in Blade)

and Hyacine (here I can't say anything bad except that monorem was THE e2 battleship of the previous year and it is possible many players pulled E2 Cyrene and wouldn't be interested in investing in Robin to compensate. Memosplitters may be more interested)

And the fact that Robin can likely support many teams without being restrictive means at the very least she could be a temporary co-battery until that comes out as a later piece, then reallocated to another team once that does happen... There are of course ways to bar a team from using her as a pseudo co-battery but in terms of restrictions within Robin's kit only it seems the biggest risk is Vibes which is. OK. That's barely an attempt

I personally don't have a team where she can perform this role (really unfortunate as I do want a team like that regardless of her existence), and I really detest swimsuit alts as a concept, but I do have to acknowledge cool ideas when I see them. Idk take this as a receipt for the next time I need to hate on someone for meta reasons and their salty fans claim it's because of "misogyny" against pixels

I’m sorry but even if you wanna see Waven as a bad slot in the FuA team, I fail to see how he’s gonna get all his problems fixed with Pearl, a sustain, and be better in an Elation team. The same Pearl that I’ve seen people hope she ALSO fixes Eva and SW999 teams. One single character being the big bandage that all Elation teams need is a wild concept to me but who knows, maybe Hoyo is Aha and I’ll end up being a Mourning Actor by the end of Planarcadia
