I am digging Toki as an enforcer type villain so far. Wish Arius had a true npc that fights the Arius Squad (Yes I know Mika was meant to be the antagonist). Someone who wasn't beaten and abused to believe in Beatrice would be a fun villain
Mika was definitely the villain/antagonist of the Arius arc with how she had her schizo episode for a while then suddenly had one of those anime tropes where two dudes fight each other to death and suddenly become best friends
Made sense for Mika to be their antagonist because she has everything Saori never had until it was taken away from her while Saori lost the few precious thing left for her and was fighting on her last legs
It wasn't really 'taken' from her, she was extremely dumb and lost it herself. She isn't entirely at fault because Beatrice definitely corrupted her intentions but it's like 60% her fault given that she keeps coming back to the district without telling anyone, orders a literal hit on seia to 'teach her a lesson', doubles down on her shit even after seeing what happened to Seia instead of backing off or trying to fix the mess and the dumbest part was she continuing to triple down on her shit even after being caught instead of working with her friends and explaining everything to them. She redeems herself a bit at the end of the chapter but I can't really bring myself to like her character because she's an extremely dumb c**t who decides to go on a murderous rampage instead of admitting she was in the wrong and explaining everything she knows to Sensei, Seia or Nagisa.
>Mika is a villain
Without Mika/Arius, Eden treaty wouldn't happen in the first place, Hifumi and Koharu (maybe Hanako too) would get expelled. Azusa would still be a doomer.
>indoor cheese
>iori with sunglasses affinity + ako + himari
guess 2T ins will be the norm
i'm speculating if Shigure's NS can somehow be used for single hypercarry comps in raids
something like SHoshino Shigure Ui Himari Ako for Iori in indoor chesed for example
are there any other strikers that give a huge boost in Atk for their NS? all i can think of is CHibiki, but her 22.5% pales in comparison to Shigure's 50%
she seems really comp specific since her NS is every triggered min with 50% uptime, other student self buffs are like triggered every 25-45s
with the amount of cost boost we have, might be able to fit in 2 EX rotation every 1.5m
Can add Natsu to that list, but also pretty small in comparison at only 16%.
If we dont give Rio a stern talking next story update im gonna be mildly upset
Rio's right
It's escapism sensei, can't you see it's wrong? She's a murder machine and we need to deactivate her before it's too late.
Frick off marche
>Marche
>Fights a ginger, kid in RPG cosplay, and a cripple
Lines up well enough
>If you learn someone awakened an ancient evil in your district and it already injured several while nearly killing one
Thing is even from a purely utilitarian/pragmatic scientific standpoint, it would make more sense to quarantine + research the threat. Especially since you were able to reasonably subdue it previously and you know more potentially related threats are on the way
Same antagonist role would also honestly work fine if it was "I'm just taking her away to lock up in a lab because she's frickin abunai"
>Thing is even from a purely utilitarian/pragmatic scientific standpoint, it would make more sense to quarantine + research the threat.
Doesn't this always end up badly in fiction? Since the research goes wrong, there's an outbreak and everything goes to shit. The most reasonable thing is to neutralize it and only study it once you're triply sure it's not going to move and even then it's probably still dangerous.
Leaks points to just that as she tries to clean slate the memory of Alice only for her ai to take over and backfire leading to Sensei having to save them both while Toki and Neru duke it out because neither refuse to back down
This is speculative though, if only the datamine actually put the texts instead of just CGs
that's not really helpful is it?
what made you say that that image was from when Rio was keeping Arisu hostage? what if Arisu was able to escape and that's where that scene occurred?
without any text or even a timeline to give context to those, those datamined images are merely teasers
I feel like that's primarily just in zombie stuff? Fiction also tends to have things go wrong when the authorities go with the "let's just destroy the unknown threat instead of risking researching it" just as often.
If we're talking tropes Arisu is probably closer to some sort of scifi or fantasy E.T./strange little green man first contact. In that case the general/politician who makes the "we can't take any chances, we need to shoot it" call is just as likely to end up accidentally shooting the ambassador/messenger/potential ally.
Yeah if E.T was a murder machine that already nearly killed someone. Knowing what the player knows, we know that Rio is in the wrong but it's hard to blame her for attempting to quarantine the threat and deal with it if you were the one dealing with it.
Though Rio was in the wrong since the start because Himari being the technological GOD she is, she might have found a way to rewrite Arisu's code and remove the offending parts.
>E.T. shows up
>Data shows little goblin remains friendly for extended period
>E.T. has a schizo meltdown and punches a kid when given some canned food from half a century ago instead of reese's
>Let's just put him down instead of figuring out what's wrong with the food or why it made him go apeshit
I don't think most players blame her for attempting to quarantine, but people take issue with some form of death penalty/executation solution. IRL places generally don't give death penalty for accidental non-fatal injury, especially if it's a kid, and Kivotos's culture clearly treats injury and hospitalization as an everyday occurrence.
Even from a cold and efficient "greater good" PoV with no attachment to the E.T., knowing that the E.T. is potentially connected to other greater threats, it would make sense to keep them around as a lab rat to further research countermeasures. Like if I were a Rio myself, I could argue in-game Rio was in the wrong for picking "risk aversion" over the classic "we can sacrifice half a dozen students' happiness and risk some lives here and there, to save many more lives down the line".
Rio isn't exactly wrong. If you learn someone awakened an ancient evil in your district and it already injured several while nearly killing one then the smart thing to do is to shut it down and prevent any accidents from ever happening again.
She's just being a giant dick about it and this is Kivotos so all problems are solved with friendship rather than violence.

Next story boss
We're full Frame Arms Girls territory now (or Busou Shinki for all of us oldgays), hell yeah.
So we're gays now?
>Busou Shinki
>oldgays
Oldgays would say Sky Girls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZFleKXIYdo
Man, whomever is running the production committee is pandering to the old school fans hard.
I remember Sky Girls figurines using the Gen.2 Busou Shinki bodies (MMS type 2), so technically they were later, but either way hell yeah Fumikane-designed mecha girls. I got into the series during MMS type 3 so sadly I couldn't get a hold of these and other older ones, as they were always ridiculously overpriced on the aftermarket and I was a poor second world student (but type 3 bodies were a really big upgrade).
>muh leaks say that
filtered
some morons really dont know how to have a discussion
wait, no maint tomorrow, so the new chapters are just timegated?
80mb patch
I was told these challenges were super easy because they didn't age well but I had to rely on Atsuko dodges to not die to bullshit oneshots on challenge five. Was there a way to do this more easily that I missed?
use burst damage (akari, siori, aru, mutsuki) to kill at the same time asap instead of shina
I did Mutsuki but it just went worse because I couldn't kill the things before they brought out the oneshots.
Shina doesn't do a lot of damage normally so I just buffed her with the overkill steroids of Ako+Himari+Shoshi and wiped the wave before they could do anything to Atsuko
I feel like it almost became harder because my students are killing one too quickly with autoattacks before I have the chance to simultaneously kill them with skills
The challenges are updated on reruns. Someone lied to you
were they? challenge 5 seems unchanged when i compared to the previous clear vid a year ago
I definitely recall buffs on something else. I'd check the levels I guess, but idk
Had a pretty comfy clear with a strong ST red (used Shunny) and a single backline healer, no hypercarry comp necessary
Build up meter, let my girls kill the frontlines with autos and AoE, then 360 noscope'd the surviving backline one with Ohayoujo before it could start going ape shit
I was suggested this game because I was told it would be lewd.
It ended being extremely wholesome and kawaii. I'm very happy.
Only wholesome thing here is me wanting to shove my whole dick inside a comatose momoi
I couldn't get through the Abydos chapter because it was very on the nose with the good adult stuff
By "good adult" stuff, did you mean being a good adult that takes care of children responsibly?
Or.
Are you suggesting these kids have lied about their ages and they're actually college age and getting into nerfarious activities?
I want to marry Kaede
Rio owes me a naked dogeza after all the bullshit she did
I kind of want to roll for the gamers. Probably won't be able to beat hardcore this time since I can only borrow 1 unit, and 1 unit can't carry this boss it seems.
>midori/momoi "free" on raid store
>arisu only used in 1 raid, and not optimal for insane
>yuzu require high investment and heavily reliant on critfishing
not recommended to roll, since they are also slowly adding old 3* into the raid/jfe store. just chill at whichever difficulty you can do
I rolled anyway because I just wanted some characters I actually like, got fricked so hard I'm considering uninstalling. Just gacha things.
That's how I ragequit the game for a year during the very first Cherino gacha. Regretting this as I can't plat now, stuck between 15k and 35k (and sometimes can't even clear EX like Hiero until S.Hoshino became a thing or Goz until the last days).
Damn gremlin, forcing me to fix the wiki
First time attempting Insane Chised, is there any hope if I don't have my own Cherino + all the ones I have for rent are low investment?
Current strat is
>Team 1: Use twins + my own Iori to get to Cheese and put him at 75-90% groggy before I run out of time
>Team 2: Rent strongest Iori/Kazusa I can find then SHoshi/Ako/Himari/DPS hypercarry blast him
but even if I get lucky with Ako crits it seems I can only get ~15 bars off in one cycle and then I'm out of AoEs to open him up again.
Would Momoi and my own UE30 Iori with buffstacking be enough to 2T him, if I can limp to right before he opens with a weak-ish rented Cherino instead?
>Insane chised
UE 50 iori/kazusa alone does not seem enough
Oof, the 8-10 bars from Kazusa + Ui's buff seem pretty mandatory there, and that's with fishing 5 out of 6 (?) crits from Iori too
Seems like I still at least clear in 2 cycles with Iori alone and some cheap filler like Serika/Kokona if I reroll crits enough, just need to see if I can even get there with a single rented Cherino/Moe and my weaker AoEs like Yuzu or NYKot
Looks like it was doable with a half-invested rental Momoi for both rounds instead, despite the shitty mood at <UE50
Thank you Momoi, I'm sorry I ever called you a pink moron
It's doable, though you'll probably need few resets so I'm not sure I'd call it "reliable"? She does ~5-6 bars on crit so she still needs to crit on 6-7 of the 12 shots she gets over 2 openings to kill. It's not too bad RNG but I had to redo a few times if she decided to be uncooperative and only crit 3-4 times instead.
If it's just trying insane I limped through with
Yellow AoE(rental gf Momoi)/Tank/fill/fill Healer/fill <- just needs to get first 2-3 waves off cheese with the AoE
Momoi/Iori/Tank/Kokona Ako/Himari <- Kokona can be Serika or cheap fill as long as tank can live and you can afford Iori->Ako->Himari->fill->Iori rotation
what are the chance he post 1t cheesed tomorrow?
How reliable is Iori, the only damage damage dealer for ins in 2nd team?
without critfishing, she would need 2 opening to kill cheese
How mandatory is NY Ako? I'm already not looking forward to scraping enough stuff to upgrade Ui, but if NY Ako is mandatory I won't even try insane.
>NY Ako
shaking rn
NTA but nyaru isn't outstanding, she's only relevant because of her affinity. You could probably do Sumire, Tsurugi or a well-invested Nomi.
Not mandatory at all. Gamer twins, Cherino, Ny.Aru, Nonomi, Sumire, Tsurugi, SHoshino, Ui, NYMutsuki, NYSerika, Moe, Saki, SHifumi, CRat can all be used to clear p1 pretty well. The only issue can be if your boss kill needs the gamer twins, then most of the rest of the units are ones that not many people ever build, but if you copy the 1 opening boss kills with Iori + Kazusa it shouldn't be too hard to find any p1 clearing setup that works.
for some reason sizuna showed up in top rank, at least this raid has quite a lot of flexibility in term of comps
ui is pretty hard to use outside of p1 or 1 opening comp
My slacking ways have made me end up with 16k raid coins
How do I fix this
Buy out all the frags and rainbow books every time raid resets.
Stock up enough purple and gold books/BDs to max out one character at the minimum (more is better). It can get expensive getting a large amount of them in a pinch, so name of the game is stockpiling.
I always forget to buy shit
I only ever buy when I need except I haven't needed something in ages so that's how my stash came to be
i usually keep enough mats per each of the bigger school (trinity/mil/gehenna) to be able to bring at least 3 new students to 5/7/7/7
so around 3x 30 blue bd, 30 gold bd, 25 blue tech notes, 25 gold tech notes. purple bd/notes are usually not a bottleneck nowadays
then buy up all the rainbow books
p1 was a legitimate struggle so I don't think that team needs to be posted but seems like I'm safe for another raid
>just crit from all of iori's 6 ex hits bro it's no big deal
How many reset? Best I got so far is down to 4 bars.
about 40+ minutes worth of resetting. at least i got indicators now
like if iori doesnt manage to bring down chesed's hp down to 3m then reset
>about 40+ minutes worth of resetting. at least i got indicators now
>Iori has ~500 crit, after Ako she should have roughly 50% crit chance
>All 6 crits at 1/2 chance ~= 1.5% chance
Jesus frick, 40 min sounds about right
Ganbaru anon
Ui also increases crit chance a bit
I'm the same as that anon but with just Iori. Brought me up to 5k. I never want to see Cheese again after this.
I swear raids without resetting were better. You didn't have to critroll for hours.

すみませんこんな遅くに、ちょっとご相談というか…なんというか…大丈夫ですか?あっ、ありがとうごさいます。話すと長くなるんですけど…この前『ALIEN:ISOLATION』ってゲームやったんです。ゲームはとっても面白かったんですけど…はい、すごい怖くて。お姉ちゃんは変な声出して部屋から飛び出すし、ユズちゃんはロッカーから出てこないし、アリスちゃんなんか牛乳口から吹き出して「人間にしてはなかなかやるな」とかなんとか言って床の穴に入っちゃうし…。それでこのゲームの原作というか前日譚にあたる古い映画があるって…そう、そのリドリー・スコットって人の『ALIEN』って映画です。知ってました?映画を見ておくとゲームの世界観の作り込みの高さに驚くってすごく評判よくて。それを見てみたいんですけどその…怖くて。先生にこんなこと言うのも変なんですけど…もし良ければ一緒に…見て欲しいなって…。えっ、いいんですか?嬉し…いえ心強いです!

The game will never give me my MidoMomo ship, but oh well. Hope Schale has a good cinema screen and not some old and busted LCD with scratchy audio.

What a specific scenario.
I've actually finally got around to playing alien isolation and it's preddy good.

What if you impregnate momoi while she's comatose and thinks she just put on weight when she wakes up?
You can watch Aliens with her like the above anon's fantasy and convince her she has a little chestburster inside her
>2 opening clear on Cheese leaves me at rank 7k at the bottom of the barrel
Well shit
Sasuga Cath Palug
If you did well on Binah then you probably can reuse that same team for Chesed P2
It's like Iori/Ui/Kazuha/Tank Ako/Himari
The real suffering is the P1
Sumire is great for p1.
you can either shave time off in p1 and do a tactical withdrawal with >30s left or 1 opening burst in p2
Damn, I'm around 8k with my 1T EX clear from day 2, I guess there's no point even trying to improve that. But on the flip side I'll just end up in your boat trying Insane; I have no Cherino, Kazusa, or Ui (and no Midori either unless I unlock her with shards)
I don't think Midori is all that useful aside from autoattacking/rotation, even at UE40 in this terrain mine can't even reliably one-shot the 5 mobs she selects. Though if your Momoi can't quite one-shot the adds she might be useful to unlock if the 1-2 burn ticks on Momoi are enough to make a difference.
>Even in my own gacha games, I spend Christmas eating and talking with 2D girls inside my monitor
I feel attacked
anything with mechanics involved seems way less competitive
hopefully they don't rerun binah anytime soon before they add a new difficulty
Serina is so cute bros
serina seems to be similar to atsuko's EX, have to see if hanae is burst healing or heal over time
Seems pretty meh for Christmas units I might hold my jims for new years
Arona cute
cute daughter
bottom end of 2T clears will be at the border at this rate
Guess who's going to do EX chesed for the rest of this raid season after getting a good insane clear!
Frick chesed!
From last thread
CH0194 - Serina (holiday alt) - Striker AR - Yellow bullet, Blue armor
EX - 400 radius of some Blessing/SantaGift counting, up to 15 stacks of gifts
NS - Every 21 auto attack, throw a random projectile X (from 3 equal-weighted choices) to all allies within 400 range except self (similar to ONodoka EX's random heal throw)
SS - After reloading, X to self
CH0195 - Hanae (holiday alt) - Special AR - Blue bullet, Blue armor
EX - 200 radius of some Blessing/SantaGift counting, up to 15 stacks of gifts
NS - Every 35 secs, X to the lowest HP% ally
SS - Party stat buff (like +ATK% / +Crit DMG% special subs)
Also, Serina is 4 cost while Hanae is 5 cost.
Hanae (Holiday)
Healer, Back, Special, Blue Armor, Blue Ammo
EX: Grants 1 stack of "Holy Night Blessing" to allies in a circular range, furthermore grants continuously restoring Hp equals to X% for a period of time.
(The heal amount increase depends on number of "Holy Night Blessing" stack count. "Holy Night Blessing" stacks up to 15 times).
ns: Every X seconds, increases healing receive rate for ally with lowest HP by Y% for a period of time.
Passive: Increases self healing stat by X%.
Sub: Increases all allies crit dmg by X%.
Serina (Holiday)
Support, Middle, Striker, Yellow Ammo, Blue armor.
EX: Grants X% of crit dmg buff to all allies except self in a circular range for a period of time. Furthermore grants 1 stack of "Holy Night Blessing", and increases piercing damage modifier for a period of time. (The piercing damage modifier buff amount increases depends on number of "Holy Night Blessing" stack count. "Holy Night Blessing" stacks up to 15 times)
Normal: After doing X number of auto attack, randomly grants one from 3 presents (Green Box/Red Box/Bear Plush) that increases crit dmg for allies in a circular range
Passive: Increases self HP by X%.
Sub: When reloading, increases self evasion stat for a period of time.
Note: the "piercing damage modifier" buff is basically the same with shoshino ex, but for yellow ammo when attacking yellow armor instead of red.
Numbers will be gotten after maint or after the wiki anon adds them to the wiki, these are from the tweet.
Do these stacks of both Serina and Hanae stack with each other? Name is the same so it seems that they would
>Serina (Holiday)
>EX: Grants X% of crit dmg buff to all allies except self in a circular range for a period of time.

Huh, given her position and the EX animation looking like a channel (?) it looks like she can't tank/tank-lite like SHoshi, and she explicitly can't benefit from the buff either, which means she's basically taking the slot of an actual healer/3rd dps. Feel like the buff numbers and/or the uptime better be frickhuge or even larger than SHosh's somehow then, since she basically has the boost the remaining 2 DPS enough to make up for her doing nothing.
So basically with that "Holy Night Blessing" sticking you want to run both of them in the same team if you want to make the most out of either of them. Clever way to incentivize people to roll on non-limited banners.
they are probably for a new raid, similar to goz where it is tuned so that you need at least 2 teams to clear ins
>ako, himari, koharu, atsuko for team 1
>h serina, hanae, s shizuko for team 2
no idea where kokona fit in, since the gimmick might be aoe healing
>replacing my excellent Ex clear with shitty Ins clear only moved me up 1200 spots
frick
Next time I'm going to use Kokona instead of Akane to cycle, I had too many good p2 starts ruined by students dying on the waves before 2nd opening. And the run I settled for I got him to 2.3M on first opening then failed to finish on 2nd, wound up finishing off the last 100k while he was closed.
In no time I've managed to wipe out all the resources I'd been piling up, mainly due to raising Tsurugi and Moe from scratch. Down from 120M to 40M credits, reports almost gone, equipment leveling items completely gone.
>2 opening strats
yuck
Where's your UE50 iori
My Iori is completely maxed for a long time but I don't have Kazusa or Ui and I have to rent Cherino for p1
You don't have to borrow cherino because a ton of stuff works in P1 but no Ui might be pretty annoying. There's probably Iori only 1 opening strats on youtube but I bet they're extremely maldy and require iori to crit every hit or something.
I suppose if I could figure out how to get through p1 without Cherino then I could rent a Kazusa and attempt the comps I see at the top of the rankings using Shun and S.Izuna (or empty 4th slot on one of them)

Touch feather.
That's a feather? It's not her hair?
Yes and I wanna touch it.
So are you all rolling for these xmas lims?
I'm hoping they really are limiteds so I can roll without guilt. Memorobies look to be very cute.
would be pretty weird if christmas themed students aren't limited
i am also looking forward to ny haruka and kayako though, back to back limited sucks
Going by previous events, even if the original run had limiteds the new units of the rerun are always perm.
I should have read the sweets event when it came out, it would have convinced me to roll for Kazusa and I wouldn't be missing her for all yellow content ever.
Can't believe I missed out on CATH PALUG, the monstrous cat of terror that silences raid bosses and yellow enemies with one look.
bros you're able to 1T ins chesed right?
Nah, I got 25.2m but 2T.
huh guess i'll try it later
A fast 2t is better than a 1t right now because ideally you would sweep the waves really fast, quit at the last wave and nut on the boss which should take like 2 minutes.
Also if you 2T you only have to reset the last bit, if you 1T you have to redo the whole fricking thing if Iori doesn't crit
https://bluearchive.wiki/m/8PU
Everyone already know about the Christmas event so its kinda late but here's the event page for it
Any missing info (like Santa Serina and Hanae) or changes will be updated when the event goes live
What's the last story chapter in the current story? 21?
Why do writers love these psychological experiments so much? Popular ones like this one or Schrodingers cat always come up at least once when reading fiction
Also, the translator's channel has story up to 21 if anyone wants to read.
https://www.youtube.com/c/yanagikaze/videos
Schrodinger's cat is a specially bad one because 90% of japs using it on their stories completely misunderstand the point of schrodinger's criticism

No limited stamp???
Going by the pattern I believe they're doing the next limited banner will be in the next event.
By which I mean this event coincides with Onsen in the pattern so we're gonna have x2 students from the get go(CSerina, CHanae/OChinatsu, OCherino) and then 1 afterwards (ONodoka/Mine?) and the next event will be akin to PS68 NY so with 2 limiteds (NYMutsuki, NYAru/Mystery Student 1 and 2) followed by a permanent (NYSerika/Mystery Student 3)
What would throw this off is if they release both NYKayoko and NYHaruka as limited in the frankly expected NY rerun but they wouldn't DARE right?
I hope the new years units are new year gamers to match with the current story arc. Or that we get gamers alts when this arc is over.
>christmas units in common poll
That's kinda weird, but oh well.
NY Serika more like All Year Seirka
We have non-limited summers too? It's not that weird
welp, i guess i'm not rolling this banner then
getting 60% / 80% / 80% bonus token seems alright i guess
the older students get 30% instead of 20% seems odd, hopefully they don't change it
Same, I was already prepared to throw a spark for Hanae.
Summer Hifumi more like All Year Hifumi!
Hifumi of the Four Seasons!
Hifumi daisuki!
I like Serina and her alt is definitely tempting but yeah if they're perms then it's a skip from me because i'm F2P and need to save up for NY + Anni if I don't want to get prone boned

Thank goodness I didn't even try.

no
And I like you, but for f2p only Ako and Himari are worth rolling for on non-limited banners.

are you sure about that

Huh, so are their stacks per tick of their EX over time, instead of per separate EX cast? A lot of anons were guessing per cast but with 50/60 sec duration, even with both you wouldn't cast either more than 3-4 times each.
I'm guessing the yellow damage up of 5625 = 56.25% and channel in centiseconds based on Hanae's numbers, though surprised Serina's EX is only about 1 sec then? Meds nurse sings fast.
>Crit DMG +27.24% / +31.33% / +35.14% / +39.50% / +43.59%

so basically around 65% crit damage on 3 units with around 100% uptime (serina), versus 17% crit damage on 4 units + 90% crit damage on 1 DPS with 40-50% uptime depending on rotation (ako)? seems like she might actually be competitive for ako's spot depending on whether you need burst for something like cheese, versus being able to free up a slot for nodoka/shizuko or a TS

serina is so cute bros
literally comfiest l2d
is it not bonus penetration damage?
also given how you will most likely only use hanae and her EX 3-4 times per raid, hanae doesn't seem mandatory unless you need the healing
It is. I forgot to change the text after copying it.
Fixed now.

Got Onsen Nodoka and Santa Hanae in 80. Guess it's a healing Christmas for me.
leak sus
>more millennium students
please no
That's not a leak, that's pure unfiltered copium by mika autists with the source being FACEBOOK of all things. If you want an actual schedule then look at this because it's what we have right now.
Hope you can read korean!
Going from the colors alone, Nutsuki rerun next?
bros I can't read samsung
Japanese game but everything is in Korean thanks nexon
It's a fully Korean game other than the voice actors. Japanese version is technically a localization, even though it gets content earlier.
Calling the japanese version simply as localization is not quite right though anon. Studio MX already planned to release the game for JP first and foremost since 2017 hence lots of JP culture influence in the game, so calling it simply localization is not quite right when the JP version were the version that they intended to make in the first place. Pic rel (translated with machine TL) is from the Art Director Talk in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVCV5Z29FGM
I think this is why blue archive doesn't feel korean
Games like Epic7, Nikke, Counterside, King's raid,Lost ark and Destiny's child felt decisively Korean like you could tell they were made by a Korean company at a glance or that it was made for Korean audiences but Blue Archive looks, plays and feels like a game made for JP Audiences with heavy JP influence and none of the things present in korean games at all which is really nice.
I think Yostar did took part in some development too. On the first day of the game there were no NAT games copyrights on the bottom of the game and the fact that Nexon had to consult Yostar regarding the changes of Hifumi speech despite it should be something outside of Yostar juridiction made me believe (or at least I want to believe) that Yostar had some part in development at least which is why the game doesn't feels like a korean game.
It was targeting the Japanese market primarily, yes, but the entire development team is Korean and the script is written in Korean first. Rather than a "Japanese game" I would call it a "Korean game for Japan".
That's why I said calling Japanese version merely localization doesn't sounds quite right since releasing it in Japan has always been their aim from the start, not that I disagree that the development team are asiatics.
Although I lowkey believed that Yostar had some input in the development like how the Anniversary included lots of 2chan meme, how an article in yostarplus website said that most of the PVs were made by them, and that they had pic related at the end of PV from the cafe furniture one.
Link for said article, it's the questions 5: https://plus.yostar.co.jp/about/post-815/
Everyone knows it's a bait. No one unironically believes it since asiatics has access to beta server so they will know if Mika is going to be implemented. I will just hope it's not anytime soon since I need to save at least 2 sparks.
Change it to Gehenna and i will take the bait
once bitten twice shy.
saving until the anniversary banner
we will get mine banner after this right?
please no

C.serina and ako buff stack?
just confirmed. nope, they dont stack
Makes sense, it doesn't actually seem like a channeled/aura buff like SHoshi, just an AoE EX buff with a longer-than-normal cast time. Had girls walking out of it when testing on the event stages. Guess they're actually trying to prevent crit burst damage from growing out of control
Only have 20k gems, so I have to save until 2nd anniversary unless there's a Nutsuki rerun.
bros I really want that serina
I hope she spooks me later on
IT WAS MEANT TO BE
I did like 20 and no serina
I don't want to tilt and do more because NY and Anni soon and it hurts
Now that the story has been fully out for a while and completely translated on the translator's channel, anyone want to discuss it?
For me, it made me think momoi really is the better twin. Yuzu is too shy and passive to do anything, Midori is smart but also too passive and prone to just moping around in her depression while Momoi is too dumb for these things so she's a cute ball of energy that drags the entire group along or is always doing something fun and inviting the rest of the club members in it.
>momoi really is the better twin
>Midori is smart but also too passive and prone to just moping around
I mean, different tools for different tasks. If you need to tell someone to frick off, of course the pink moron hammer will be the best girl for the job. People who prefer green twin are likely picking the best tool for screwing.
They're twins so they have the same body though. I can have the same screwing with Momoi and Midori.
>Screw Momoi too aggressively
>KUYASHIII, KUYASHIIIIIIIII
Momoi will certainly give you a unique Kaiji experience fitting for a retro game club and a boomer sensei, though whether that's a bug or a feature is up to you
Not really.
It doesn't matter how hard I try, I literally can't give less of a frick about the Gamers nor Millenium. Gehenna fricking when.
Speaking of Midori, ran a quick test on an event stage with the yellow robots/tanks, and Midori + EX5 Serina + 2 other weak units and no other buffers.
Ignoring the tanks since it seems like they have higher defense, UE40 Midori's crit damage seems roughly:
>Unbuffed: ~18000~20000
>1 EX/3 presents: ~26000~32000 (should be ~24000~29000 with Serina's 43.5% crit dmg buff alone)
>2 EX/6 presents: ~27000~34000
Aside from the crit damage, it looks like Midori gained an extra 1000-2000 damage per Serina EX, which seems like an actually visible ~10% bonus yellow damage instead of just ~3%. Seems to confirm the Xmas Serina/Hanae mechanics work off total presents across the entire party instead of presents per girl. Anyone other autists have similar tests, or seen some equally autistic JP data collection yet?
What the FRICK
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS
Isn't that do challenge 4 in less than 240 seconds?
Yes, obviously, the Japanese isn't the problem, it's this accursed puzzle
I guess I'll just look it up on youtube but it bothers me
post a picture of it.
I've already cheated, but it looks like this
Seems easy to me, just the red enemy at the bottom right and the boss.
No, ideally you only do two fights and the bottom right is not one of them
bottom right is the only fight it doesn't seem you can skip to me.
And that's why I had to look up a walk-through. You can skip it.
I don't see why you'd need to skip that one for the 240s challenge when only that and the boss are necessary.
??
Again, you don't have to fight it, but still fight two battles. I don't understand what you're being stubborn about. Either there are two solution, or you haven't played it
I haven't played it.
But yeah, 2 answer then you can definitely do this with just 2 teams. if you fight the bottom right red and just let the boss kill team wait until you get to the tile-spawner at the bottom.
>Youtube premium
wrong quote, and yes
meant to quote
i think for challenge 5 you are suppose to use heal/shield? but shoshino/ako/himari allow you to just ignore it, same for 3.
>4mils crit
just stunlock cherino by strategically killing off her allies like he did in the video
I used Atsuko for passive healing and just killed each other character from the start.
Haruna can one-shot Tomoe
Aru can passively kill Marina, though to be safe you can kill her while she's reloading with Aru's ex (she won't turn invincible)
Alternatively Aru can one-shot Shigure, though I usually just waited for Shiroko to passively kill her (usually eventually with one of her normals)
Then, Ako/Himari buff means instant Cherino death
>Most of the top PvP team in bracket are choosing to expose their Yuuka
>See people complaining that Yuuka buff + T7 badges ruined PvP forever
>Finally get Bond 25 Yuuka, now I too can have an unkillable roach tax return
>Immediately go 0/5 offense, looks like all 5 were lost instantly because enemy Shun/Iori triggered first and punched through Yuuka and then a DPS in the first 10 seconds
just dodge you stupid calculator I thought you were smart
just use tsubakcute
Tsubugly more like it
>use tsubaki
>gets ohko by s.mashiro
>uses ex at the wrong time
yeah no
the secret is not putting Yuuka in front of Iori
almost everyone puts their defense Iori in 3 or 4. If she's in 1 she's even easier to predict. If a different colored DPS is in 1 then it's even more likely that Iori is in 3 or 4.
Putting Iori in defense is kind of bad. Like you said, d1 or d2 Iori is completely fricked because she immediately gets nuked by Haruna or sWakamo. Best choices are d3, d4 but you just put Tsubaki or Marina to that and Iori will be useless.
In defense, I use Shun, Atsuko, Yuuka, and Haruna for strikers. It works very well because enemy Shuns can rarely kill Haruna very quickly, Haruna can kill enemy DPS easily (including Shun), and Shun in D1 is IMO the best option because there's not really any way to predict what the other person is using.
Yeah, it's what I was doing before I got her Bond 25 calculator. Figured she wouldn't be so trivial to kill with the most popular yellow DPS given how many top 10-20 choose to reveal her on defense, in my bracket at least.
That, and too many people b***hing after getting RNG screwed by enemy Yuukas Matrix-dodging them on defense gave me inflated hopes for her, when Iori +SMash should still be able to pull 50%+ hit rate before Yuuka normal, or completely reasonable to hit at least 2/3s the shots.
In fairness, Yuuka WILL dodge a surprising number of Iori's shots, it's just really fricking bad if even one shot hits
My Iori just triple missed the enemy Yuuka the instant the battle started while my Yuuka charged into the enemy team and got one-shotted by S.Wakamo (who wasn't even on Yuuka's side as I arranged my team but lol positioning frickery). Gotta love it
Nothing wrong with some teacher on teacher action. Sometimes the educators need to let go and relax.
December was one of the few times I remember actually enjoying grade school because the teachers would just let the kids frick around and watch movies and eat free food
Glad Kokonuts understands to keep the tradition alive, what a good sensei
I need her....
The mob chars are so cute
Some people believe nexon might be testing a mechanic that changes the terrain mid-fight like Indoors to outdoors for example.
It's definitely not confirmed at all and just speculation but it'd be kinda cool if it happens. I like how they're not letting the game go stale like A CERTAIN CYGAMES TITLE and looking for ways to keep things fresh. Hopefully they'll continue doing things like for the entire game's lifetime.
So we will just change the team after the terrain changed? How does that makes any difference?
It might encourage running multiple "main" DPSes again or mixed mood teams in an optimal clear, so you have 1T mixed clears competing with 2Ts with teams optimized for each terrain (or they just make retreats -> team swaps lose more time than Kaiten/Cheese). Like say you have DPS A who serves as your carry in the first half of the fight while DPS B just autoattacks, then in the second half A just autos while B now gets their EX in the rotation?
At the least, it allows more girls to shine more often than 1/3 of the time, and adds some cute flavor to the fight, like if your girls run from an urban enviroment -> into a building as the map progresses, or if a kaiju blows up the room at 1/2 HP and swaps from indoors -> outdoors.
If it's indeed mixed or midfield change it would encourage increased variety in teams you can use to clear instead of relying on a small number of (or in some cases, literally just 1) meta team
Christ, this parody of shitty YT game ads is hilarious.
Has anyone managed to get this to work?
https://github.com/natsumerinchan/libhoudini-package
What's that supposed to be?
It's an x86 to arm translation package. Apparently you can use it to play BA on a vm, but I'm too dumb and don't know how to use it.
Why would you have use for that though.
I wanted to see if I could setup a vm that was better than mumu.

lv51 no blue dps, just end me
borrow any max lvl nymutsuki, fill in the other 2 slots with a tank/healer, spam nymutsuki EX for easy hc clear
iroha would probably work too
If you have 2* Chise, at your level she can provide solid damage. But in general yellow strikers are strong enough to take down most of the blue things you encounter, and in raids and such you can always borrow.
*blue things you encounter at around your level, I mean

>Finally get off my ass to 3* Trinity Scrimmage D

>Had to luckshit EX one-shot on Azusa+Fatty -> Koharu -> Tsurugi in 3 cycles back to back or they heal+shield to full immediately
What a pain, can't imagine how people did this before tensai bishoujo hacker
Ako and Iroha make everything easy, also it's just a matter of dps and timing. Congratulations you are now free from UE mats shortage
I can't imagine Iroha would actually help that much with Trinity's map though, most of them are yellow armor
Guess it makes sense Iroha can solo that one, no real tank means you can push their entire backline together, and Millennium's is probably the easiest just because getting clipped by Midori seems a lot less deadly than if one of your girls' AIs strays into Hina/Mutsuki's AoE on Gehenna
Is there any blue unit I can borrow that can potentially solo INS chicken if I give it enough support, or is it just not worth even bothering since 1T is basically impossible still?
Have all the offensive buffing strikers/specials but somehow basically no mystic attackers besides the farmable 1*-2*s and single-target welfares have spooked me, at best I can redeem a 3*-4* Izuna/Haruna.
Iroha probably but I think it would still be a 2t unless someone figures out a 1t strat
Figured as much. Guess I can try stacking SHoshi/Himari/Shigure/Serixmas on Iroha all at once, which should be more than the previous SHoshi+Ako, though unsure how Serina's stacking buff would work with the tank spawns, and it might be a pain the make sure the tank doesn't despawn or get resummoned right after Shigure throws the flask.

Same reason SHoshi shows up off-color, frontline buffers are still a rarity
Also 60-70 crit dmg with near 100% uptime and on the entire team isn't significantly worse (if at tall) than Ako doing 90% + 10-20% crit chance on a single target with 40~50% uptime at best, at least in a vacuum, and opens up a Special slot now that Serina and Himari cover crit/raw atk

I wonder if I can plat this raid with a tryhard ex and avoid insane for maximum slack
Once again I have to rely on Hifumi for an EX clear, but hey, as long as it works...
Wonder if Ex will survive but seems any halfassed ins will plat comfortably
I kinda hate having to to INS zilla. So many blue students now, but you still need a very specific set hyperinvested if you don't want to like 5T him.
honestly i'd like to see a roadmap for a 5t clear. I dont have himari and borrow bkarin. with 2t i still have 9 million health to go and proceed to run out of bodies.
Team 1 should be a groggy set up team. This can either be a team that downs every single peroro to get one groggy for themselves + half bar for next team, or if you aren't strong enough to down every Peroro then you can do 3 waves with them and retreat before groggy happens. The most important thing is to be over 50% groggy gauge by the time you retreat. You can run single targets here if you don't have enough units to put aoe here, stuff like Wakamo, S.Azusa, Izuna, S.Izuna, Michiru, Track Hasumi, or even Iori.
Team 2 is your main damage team. Your big damage aoe units should be here. If you have Ui then you can run her with B.Karin here. Learn the timings so that you can have 10 meter when groggy happens, and do the B.Karin > Ako > whatever > whatever > B.Karin double shot. The two whatevers shouldn't add up to more than 5 cost, otherwise Ako buff will run out before the second B.Karin shot.
Third team and fourth team should be a repeat of the styles of 1 and 2, with team 3 being single target to set up the groggy and team 4 being aoe units to take advantage of double groggy phase. Every team after should just be a shiny hunting body throw team to kill a shiny and then probably die.
Setups for you to survive will be: Natsu solo for the big damage team, Yuuka + Koharu, Tank + Chinatsu, Tank + Mari, Tank + Hifumi, Tank + Utaha. Workable tanks are Hoshino, B.Neru, Miyako, Haruka, Eimi. Try to keep yellow armor tanks for your big teams while red tanks can work better on the set up teams since they do not need to survive as long. Mari is better reserved for a tank with high defense rather than a tank with high dodge.
Thank you for the advice
There's a double iroha insane comp but you need your own swole iroha then borrow another one. Need to summon her at specific times so you can double ricochet the minis and it'll work.
Should be around 03:34 and 00:42 I believe?
might not reach 10k ins clears, better off doing a scuffed ins clear than crit maldings EX if you want to plat
Can't believe EXgays survived
I just improved by like 100 ranks by being slightly quicker at shooting the tiny peroros, around 9700 now with one day left

1T clear in Perorodzilla
I went and used the 1T INS comp to do EX (renting a Ui) and got myself back into plat range for now, but I doubt I can hold it. Problem is I doubt I can handle INS with my Natsu only 4*, S.Hoshi 3*, also B.Karin only UE40. Also if I rent Ui I can't rent a second Himari for second team.
new to the game, any of these worth keeping or should i try again?
It's a pretty meh selection.
Consider reading https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Reroll_targets to get a basic idea, it should be current to your global version of the game.
You should try reading the OP again
The general for global is over at /vg/ and not here, this is for the Japanese version of the game.
Your thread's here morongod
I don't want to see perorozilla again for a while
is there a thread for the NA version of BA?
Is it that much fun to come troll the five guys posting here?
In /vg/
He's been doing this every day if you scroll up. It's just trolling at this point.
last push, still can't 2T it yet, left around 900k hp for third team to finish it off
huh, are they not rerunning ny aru/mutsuki?
Might be later? Remember Gehenna summer rerun was delayed but they still ran it
Someone mentioned having old events permanently available, it might go there. As
noted the schedule is already cramped enough that Gehenna summer pretty delayed and it'll only get worse with two years of events to rerun moving forwards.
The 4gb update might be that big if we have to re-load all the old events into the game at once? That or a frickton of anniv surprises going live all at once
It's just going to be a new encryption method so all dataminers get BTFOd. It's gone way too mainstream and we are well due a crackdown, unfortunately.
>t's gone way too mainstream and we are well due a crackdown
Pretty much every gacha I've played always ends up with dudes proudly reposting datamine content in the replies to official announcements/videos/trailers
Honestly unsure if these people are trying to force a crackdown, or if they're just so socially moronic that think the devs will be ok with it
>sHifumi, Kayoko, Yosh farmable in 21H
>T6 gear in mastery cert store
>Farmable SUMMER Hifumi
Hifumi daisuki!
Gacha just loves to only give me students that are or will be farmable soon, for frick's sake.
4gb update
Expect datamines from this big chonk of data
huh? is the apk already up? or is it the koreans
They announced it will be 4gbs in the patch notes
>sHifumi is now farmable
>You still cant get Shun or Hibiki shards, who are launch students
Thanks i hate it
farmable miku when?
>fall out of plat a few hours before reset
>spent 55 minutes fishing for crits just to make enough progress with first team to ensure HP is low enough to finish with backup teams
>timer runs out before I finish and lose ticket and all that time wasted
Frick this shit, guess I'm just not getting plat
I've given up getting plat from raids a long time ago it's the gold life for me
Who's the best raid player in BA of all time?
>Just3c for being the first player to do 1T INS on Peroro
The prerequisite to being good at BA is having all of the meta characters including limiteds, so I don't really give a shit, as it's luck and money problem first, and only then it becomes a skill problem. There's only so much you can do with mediocre gacha pulls.
He wasn't even the first, someone else got it before he did so he changed to "first with alice"
You mean, the great Junko-loving ShiroKuro / Hod slayer?
No, that guy got first place just a little after, think he was the third 1pan. I forgot who it was that got the actual first, I just remember it was a S.Hoshi comp and not an Alice one.
owari + previous stats
why
>perorodzilla 3 : 8591 clears
if it's actually 9133?
I guess we're officially in INS required territory from now on all legacy raids. Goz doesn't really look safe for his eventual rerun either.
i was looking at the 3T clear, and copied the wrong info
https://gall.dcinside.com/mgallery/board/view/?id=projectmx&no=4522207&page=1
Datamines
Ny char numbers are up too but better to just wait for wikianon
NyJunko 1* welfare attacker middle blue yellow
Ex 2 cost: deals 653% aoe dmg in a circular range .
Ns: every 21 aa, deal 760% dmg to a single target.
Ps: increases 26.6% self attack speed. (ue40 +2660 attack speed)
Sub: when active Ex skill or Normal skill, increases self crit rate by 19.9%.
NyFuuka 3* limited supporter back special yellow blue
Ex 3 cosst (level 5 2 costs): decreases 50% skill costs of an ally for one ex (round down), furthermore increases their crit dmg by 32.1% for 35s.
Ns: every 60 seconds, grants shield based on 227% of self healing stat to ally with lowest HP for a period of time.
Ps: increases 26.6% self healing stat. (ue40 +1324 healing stat)
Sub: increase all allies attack 17.3%.
NyHaruna 3* limited attacker back red red
Ex 5 costs: deals 202% dmg to maximum 5 targets in order, furthermore deal 98.7% aoe dmg in a circular range.

Hope your UE50 Kayoko is ready bros
>They actually added a new difficulty instead of just bumping bracket size
Hope it's just a small tweaks like bumping the boss autoattack damage/HP enough so you can't just moron mode damage race it + healers are needed
Going to be obnoxious if they bump HP so high that you need to bodythrow 3-4+ full endgame teams, or make the boss spam more backline AoEs to force your entire party into a specific armor type
Better show you're a true gamer by posting your insane II clear or you're kicked from the gamer club

Good lord, I've been asking for this for two years.
WHAT
Which emulator?
bluestacks5 pie64
i guess it has finally happened to me
It happened to me a lot lately.
can anyone confirm if the purple ticket gives you all 10 rarity 3 characters?
no obviously, it just guaranteed 1 at least
I expect it's just one guaranteed as usual? Rates are high though.
oh damn, didn't know that the current rate-ups were also included
now i don't know if i should spend it in this banner now or wait it out until next month
>game stop at 37% initializing
How do I fix this?
supposedly switching phone language to jap helps
ny haruna EX work on single target, still apply 5x hits
new joint exercise is annoying, get an attack debuff that stack whenever you kill an enemy, healing reduce the debuff stacks (5 per heal)
so you would need to have efficient heal that are of multiple ticks
Time to build that Hanako
well frick this, it's just blue aoe with healing gimmick
>Team 2 was the best with nothing but Chise cycling
Huh, did you not find it more efficient to add frontline healers to Team 2/3 just for faster regen/extra debuff removal?
all the frontline healers only heal for a single tick though, i tried kokonoa without any luck
did NYharuna just invalidate every red DPS in the game?
How so? In a vacuum at least, immediate old unit comparison to her 300%x5 5 cost EX on single target is Azusa who does ~2000% for 5 cost
Obviously stats, gear, skills play into it, but she doesn't look immediately gamebreakingly stronger on the numbers.
Her UE at 2*
If she's with SHosh, she should go from doing 300% against reds to 350%? So roughly a 16% damage increase at UE40
That's probably worth more than previous optimal of a DPS getting crit/crit dmg at UE40, though as they're clearly moving into releasing more color-buffing supports, xxx damage bonus may get even more diluted soon and bring her back in line with the others
Snonomi can do the same 1k damage then have an endless stream of bullets after.
Or Aru and Mutuski's big dump of an explosion
A sidegrade at best, also Insane2 will be a thing, we'll see how stupid things can get
>3.8GB Update
What the frick?
Do you rike it?
I don't have any more space on my phone. Is it finally time for me to quit the game?
i foresee this happening so i bought a tablet just for games
or you can go the emulator route
annoying defense drill
>the tile doesn't active if you swap squads
Seriously...?
That was weird
So, is either of the two limited girls a must-have in terms of gameplay, or should I keep saving for a chance of a Nutsuki rerun and 2nd anni? I've got one spark worth of gems and a bit.
haruna is more of whale option since she need at least UE40 to shine, fuuka can be used almost everywhere (unless ako + himari is more optimal for damage, but insane 2 is coming up so i expect at least 2T to clear it)
ny mutsuki > ny haruna, she's has some use outside of blue raids. and there are way too many options for red aoes
Haruna seems really strong
https://bluearchive.wiki/m/8Z6

yup also don't worry i'm sure there's still alot of free to play players
you just have to afk for a year when they release new power crepe to make everything obsolete and save your gems!
Weren't we supposed to get Hyakkiyakou for Schedule? Or was that for the Valentine rerun?
>stuck on 37% after the update
Epic, Nexon. Simply epic.
I have this problem on my tablet too, but there is no issue updated on my phone.( both are using Qooapp)
So, use your phone untill they fix this issue.
Anyone got Fuuka's L2D webm?
>37%
JPBros, is there any news from the developers that they will fix the problem or not? I don't know Japanese.
If it's an issue for non-JPs playing on JP version like
says I don't know if they'll consider it a high priority? Especially if they have non-JP versions and the workaround is pretty simple
It's not a region lock or anything at least. I'm outside JP and I updated without issues so seems to be a hiccup somewhere.
>playing in the jp server
>doesn't know japanese
Got stuck on my tablet with an English account in which I installed the game via the qooapp botnet but worked on my desktop and laptop where I use the bluestacks (both hyperv on and off versions) botnets using just my jp account off the Play store.
Make of that what you will.
Also learn jap.

>Surely this is sports Yuuka's time to shine
>Nearly impossible to make her jump forwards in the middle without pulling a DPS/healer with her

So this is keisan doori......kanpeki.......
2* NY Junny's AoE is actually way too small for this shit, was unironically better to brute force one wave with Himari+Momoi
For any other unlucky anons whose only blue AoE is farmable Chise, janky stage 4 clears doable with
>Chise/Tank + regen healer or Nodoka
>Momoi/Tank + Himari/Ako buffs on Momoi + Serina + any striker healer (removing 10 debuff stacks per rotation is enough)
>Rental Iroha + Tank + whatever healers you have left
You can bullshit your way through the Iroha run by resummoning her to clear debuffs I believe
I personally use my Chise and borrow another Chise.
I use BKarin for my final team (+Ui) because BKarin's ex is instant so the debuff doesn't cause her many problems. I use Hanae to cure her after a wave.
yeah, another stage 1 or 2 run and gtfo
shoshino+ako+himari or get fricked
also cherino i guess, she still not farmable

I'm glad they're continuing to have fun with Challenge scenarios. Even if challenge 1 was easy to deal with that was an amusing concept.

That's ALL?
Holy frick
I wonder if after the event's over you can use stockpiled omikuji currency to still get the dailies out of the task list for the week after
who's prioritizing ny junko shards over ny haruna?
It's not like you can farm nyHaruna though,
Is it just me, or do things look sharper after the update? I'm playing on a tablet, and the right side of the screen used to be very jaggy, this seems to be finally gone (in fact I've encountered that issue on all of my devices running Android 10+, but iirc not on 9). Maybe it's just that, but maybe some resources are actually higher res now? There had to be some reason for that giant update.
The has been a lot of changes to the rendering, yeah.
Saw this comparison getting retweeted around recently. Chibis seem sharper to me too and now I get occasional framerate drops when playing, though I don't have any screenshots on my device to compare before/after easily.
Doesn't seem like BA devs have made an official tweet/patch note about graphical updates?
Took a screenshot a few hours before the update. First pic is before update and the second pic is after update.
The short of it is that their AA now works on emulators. I think there might have been other minor changes to the rendering, but this one is by far the most impactful/evident one. 3d rendering still maxes out at 1920x1080, going above that makes the game engage an internal scaler which blurs things a lot.
Looks pretty good
Nice
Anyone else unable to connect suddenly? I was doing my joint exercises hit
Yeah, I got thrown out, but then logged back in without problems.
Had the same problem yesterday and it happened like ~3 hours before reset. The game was laggy as frick.
saw an announcement on twitter about some players having connection problems, they gave everyone 120 apologems
shitty event with uninspired ny alts
Shitty post with an uninspired opinion.

Don't play, just like the girls.

i thought her range was rather short, guess not looking at a bunch of vids, she's able to hit all 4

1t speedrun
Mari might be replaced for Saori or Misaki depending on how fast it goes and how beneficial it is to rush the frick out of the lanterns but I don't expect the teams to be something different
>smari
alright, what did i miss here, i have her but i don't level her up
Sports mari can 1shot hiero insane lanterns through the healing debuff. If people can actually get her to heal the lanterns with her AOE and doing this is actually beneficial then she might be a great option since you'd get the lanterns out of the way really fast and Koharu can just dedicate herself to keeping your team alive.
>Sports mari can 1shot hiero insane lanterns through the healing debuff
dang, confirmed? what diff tho?
Hiero isn't out so it's not confirmed, we'll have to see once insanes out.
too many healers
if spmari can indeed fully heal the lanterns past the debuff then replace koharu with another dps to deal with the purple lantern
Yeah but Mari's range is too small so she wouldn't be able to keep the entire team alive.
It'll be the value proposition of rushing the lanterns really fast and being left with 1 less damage dealer because massively overkill healing or 2 damage dealers but way less healing
>2 healers is too much
>s.izuna might make an appearance
heh. called it
Saori/Azusa/sMari/sHoshino
Himari/Ako
s.izuna might make an appearance on some setups due to crit dmg res debuff and mystic armor
her cheap ex could also deal with the purple lantern
so valentine event rerun, but not ny

>Missed the first day of raids due to being a dumbass
>Catching up and still at 110k-120k pre-HC, probably even lower in actuality since nips are still asleep
Alive game, sugoi
>spMari
From initial few tests she was kind of a pain to position, she keeps trying to take cover at the front bench and taking AA aggro in front of SHoshi when placed in the 3rd/4th slot, girl is bloodthirsty trying to get a piece of that Hiero ass
Do you need to do a front/mid attacker that takes cover in 3rd slot (who can also survive Hiero's attacks I guess) to take the front bench just to try to force Mari to take cover at the topmost bench? Or are people using SShizuko again to repo?
Yes, people are using S.Izuna to take that slot+tank+destroy the purple lantern. But any blue armor 550 or less range char that can take cover can work, just not as well as S.Izuna, at least so far that I've seen.
>Sp. Mari and S. Izuna in the comp
>26m pts incoming
anyone up for a Sp. Mari support?
I will put some resources on spMari tonight and borrow a sIzuna.
I put up spMari for Aodama.
forgot to quote here
>11k
So it's what, UE30 to let Mari one-shot the lantern through the debuff? Seems 5/*/7/7 is just enough to pass 80k healing.
Surely it's ok to let a holy sister drink just a little of my ligma, r-right? It's for a good cause...I won't go to hell if I give her just a sip from the stash...
>kokonoa
>nyfuuka over ako
well that's surprising
>kokonoa
Kokona can one-shot the green with debuff down for 2 cost and I'm assuming Noa takes front bench and kills the purple like SIzuna? I can see it
A little more surprised Kokona+Ako/Fuuka can keep the party healed but I guess people were already placing ONodoka in the corner so she only healed lantern and no one else
Aodama i need your STRONGEST Saori right now
or kokona
this hiero going to be 1T ins or bust
also i only proc'd kokona cost reduction only once
kokona is 4/7/7/7 with T4 gears
well duh, basically all red raids with SHoshino are 1T or bust now, feels like
https://2nd-anniversary.bluearchive.jp/#/
>Five hour stream for 2nd anni
spmari comp need to reset for curse placement (to be on sizuna or shoshino)
and i think ako need UE40 to heal green lantern to full without the debuff
there's a trick to make ako heal the green lantern just before mari activates her normal skill
the idea is that having ako cast her ex will delay her normal skill just in time for mari to activate hers first
>Special Unit EX delays their normal skills.
yeah, you could actually use that for an older Hod strategy, deliberately delaying Karin's normal so she'd shoot a pillar instead of Hod I think it was. You can also cancel normal skills if you use ex skills immediately after, which can be annoying sometimes
i think that is a problem in srkr, where if you use shizuko's EX at the wrong time and interrupt her normal skill which reduce shiro damage, you would not be able to bounce back 2 balls unless you over invest in her hp or EX
applies to anyone, really
take mutsuki for example. her normal skill is cast every 20 seconds.
if you give her any interrupting action just before the 20 second mark (casting ex/forced reposition) then she will only do her normal skill once she's freed up
Yeah, but she has an actual Striker model doing actions and shit that can interrupt her normals, Specials are magic disembodied voices for the most part after they wave at you at the start of the map so you'd think that wouldn't apply to them. Kind of like how buffs with no visible animations in other games can be applied without interrupting current animations, that kind of thing.
Kind of cute that they presumably coded it to check the Special's specific voice channel so their EX voicelines don't play over their Normal voicelines. That, or the Specials actually have some cast animation going on offscreen that we can't see
>That, or the Specials actually have some cast animation going on offscreen that we can't see
one of these days they'll let us dangle the specials on the formation screen
well we do see their chibis when starting a new stage, so they are definitely somewhere offscreen
I believe it's much more simple. People can't do two things at once, so specials can't do an ex and a normal at the same time either
unfortunate how saori wants an arius team to get full power when the meta is just hypercarry shit, literally built for indoor hiero but still can't appear on the leaderboards
I mean, I used her without a full team (no Misaki) and I'm currently in the 10k range. I forget what exactly right now. Probably 5000
Think the problem is that Atsuko can't actually solo heal the lantern even when maxed?
If she could fill the healer role properly then you could potentially run 4 Arius + an explosive buffer/attack buffer/crit buffer in the last two slots and not really lose anything, but instead you're bending your comp around basically an atk sub
she can provide enough heals, but others can heal the green lantern at a much faster rate
since right now keeping the students alive isn't as difficult as before, even with the healing debuff
case in point, kokona in action
Got this last night after wasting 1.5 hours of my life, along with 1 raid ticket and all the ligma I spent raising Kokona from 3* to 5*, now I just need an easy and safe comp to use for the rest of the raid period.
I was copying but at 3* Kokona couldn't heal the debuffed 2nd lantern to full, raised her to 4* and things went fine for a while but then she couldn't handle the 4th lantern, wound up having to go all the way to 5*. And then still needed a million resets because of the first time bomb constantly targeting Azusa (instant loss) or S.Hoshino (dies much later right at start of phase 2). And then there was this weird thing that seems to be caused by using Saori's EX at just the wrong frame where Kokona would go charging off the bottom of the screen out of range of the lantern.
lol
>Runs seem to be spamming Kokona's heal on the lantern on CD through the debuff combined with Ako
Shit, looks like I need to finally get off my ass and UE30 her huh
yeah, she actually does hit like a truck if she crits
Unfortunately for me I have Saori at maxed skills and Kokona at maxed skills, but both are 3 stars. I'm not rolling until Mine or Mika so here's hoping I don't get fricked.
>do shit ex run
>rank 6k
>do ins run
>5k
hmm
this is more competitive than binah, ins 2 can't come soon enough
Frick me, I dumped resources into Saori but now I'm just going to be renting a UE50 from a friend instead, they didn't have her up last night when I raised mine. Originally I thought I was going to be renting spMari from circle but then I realized all spMari comps use sIzuna who's completely unraised; I need to use Saori/Kokona instead.
hm, the "bad" pull is actually the best one?
>bad luck pull gives you creepy dark suit salad fingers and more junko

>wake up
>ex clear 14.3 score
>21k
excuse me?
there should be 10k ins clears by now
It’s 2023 already. Wake the frick up.
i'm too moron to clear insane...
If you have SHoshino and are max level clearing insane is extremely easy. It's actually easier than Extreme in some ways because the phase 2 super attack is no longer a TPK (it drops all allies' HP to 1 and leaves them invulnerable for a little bit so you can heal them).
Insane Hiero is so easy to clear, in fact, that platting Hiero is extremely difficult now BECAUSE everyone knows it's easy to beat.
It's the binah problem where a raid is so easy it loops back to being hard.
Raids like Goz are mechanically hard but if you cleared once you're probably secured a plat even if it took you 6 teams. Raids like Binah, Hiero or Kaiten are so easy now that you actually have to try for a high score.
i have her, but again, i'm too moron to clear insane even though i use guide, or frick crit
just use two or something this isn't rocket science
Use two safe teams and borrow Hoshino. For a first team use at least one meta healer, and if you can use another on two use that.
we've been in the SHoshino era since summer, anon. Red clears are insane only now
>Oh shit, Kokonahole runs in top 5-10, it's time for my invested sensei to shine
>Grab one of the top teams and go to 1T town

>UE50 Azusa or gold
The sheer flood of C101 doujins for this game is draining both my sanity and my bodily fluids
Any clubs still open?
Mine is fricking dead
Maybe. Have you checked /vg/? There's a list/more people to ask
Is there really any decent sub for SIzuna in the Mari comp?
Noa for def down but you lose the ability to have a cheap ex kill purple lantern and have to spend Azusa to do it. The rotation also feels fricked with too many ex you need to press.
Kirino will stand where you need and you can mald her ex killing the lantern, but no damage otherwise, no debuff either like S.Izuna/Noa give.
Atsuko will take the spot, but can't do lantern and can't debuff boss. The healing probably isn't needed either since running Mari is already predicated on being able to brute force.
do i need UE3* saori so she didn't die on 1st phase?
Not sure? I mean, mine survived at 3* so probably not. You probably need UE3 Saori for good damage, at least
dang, my saori keep dying on first phase
actually nvm anon, I just remembered: I'd borrowed a UE3 Saori for a test run. That said I don't have a good Kokona so I can't test that comp
sad, i'm stuck with 66 bars left, guess i'll stay with ex diff
I think I've gotten an efficient run out of this?
Picked Ex order is SHoshino, Mari, and Himari. With this formation you can also select Auto at the start of the match so that SHoshino and Mari instantly use their skills.
Himari is used on SIzuna so that she WILL destroy the lantern. At 3 cost buff SIzuna with Himari, and then AS SOON AS you hit 2 cost again, kill the purple/red/whatever lantern with SIzuna.
Now you wait until nearly 10 cost. 9 cost is safe. Buff Azusa with Ako.
Immediately use Mari (if she's basically maxed out, she'll heal the lantern to full). Buff Azusa again with Himari. As soon as Azusa herself is ready, use her ex.
Around 3:00 left, use SHoshino, remembering that every 50 seconds her ex drops.
After that it gets a little weird. I actually used SIzuna a few times to simply because I wound up having extra cost. Basically I did a lot of waiting because at this point I couldn't really get Azusa to use her debuff AND get both Ako and Himari on her in time. Knowing that SPMari can heal the lantern no matter what, I prioritized that basically. You can get rid of the green lantern in phase 1 like that, prioritizing the lantern, waiting for Azusa's debuff+having a high cost pool etc.
If I'd gotten more crits I'd have probably beaten this with a minute-thirty left or something
inefficient healing to max out green lantern asap seems to work out
there's some timing of getting kokona's EX on green lantern right at the start to interrupt koharu's normal, but i just couldn't get it consistently

What happened?
hyper carry meta
it has always been critfishing though
just that, as time went by, more and more players got access to better, stronger units and therefore be able to play the critfishing game
old ins used to be pretty harsh before the hypercarry meta
binah missile spam can 100-0 students unless you whale (groggy gauge)
kaiten healing debuff missile + sword swing to wipe your party
absurd amount of dps and healing requirement for perorodzilla and hiero ins when they first came out
current perorodzilla / goz / cheese is at the sweet spot where you need more than 1T to clear ins and you can see a bunch of different comps
Two fricking years happened.
