as far as I know it's spare/run or kill

@@ShawnSetGO I originally just spared her but turns out I had to run as well lol

I'm about 50 logins in and I Just got Odie to Mythic+ through numerous 10 pulls, spending diamonds any chance I get, and dream realm tokens. I'm baffled as well.

@@ShawnSetGO I'm F2P, about 70 something login days, day 1 player, and I already at resonance level 351 this season, with 6+ Supreme/Supreme+ units. What's wrong with your account?

@@hilfizharfan9659 for starters, you have 30 more days than I do. I also dont think it's too much to ask for 2 or 3 guaranteed mythical when we get some of the worst pulls in gacha with Afk journey. Lastly, this is your experience, but not the majority. If you have end game in mind from the moment you start, sure. But expecting that of every player is beyond delusional

@@hilfizharfan9659 also 6 supreme/supreme+, you're either not f2p or lying somewhere about being in top guild and grinding like a piss bottle madman

@@ShawnSetGO Firstly, no, I'm not lying, I do not spend any money at all, zero. Second, no, I'm not in a top guild, most of the members even already retired at this point. Lastly, I don't grind like a madman, I'm not young anymore, I have a business to run, and usually I skip a day or two without playing/doing dailies at all. But you're right, I have a month headstart, so maybe that's why.

@@bumbar9776 I'm not sure but it should be a daily or weekly reset

@@SeanWashPhoto yes, I shouldve clarified that it's ranking plus damage dealt rewards, sorry for the lack of clarity

@@SeanWashPhoto I will say for rankings though I still stand to say that despite being in a higher level guild, I have yet to clear a top 100, but that may also be because im.a newer server

@@ShawnSetGOIt could also be that you started the season a little slow. That was a major problem for this season. If you got a head start on the new season by completing a bunch of AFK stages and blowing through a ton of content, you were just so much further ahead competitively, it's basically impossible for anyone who is EVEN 1 day late to catch up. It was such a huge problem the devs are looking to fix it next season by limiting MAX AFK gains based on the number of days in the season. That means a player can only get so far ahead of other players and should even things out. So ideally, you should be able to compete a little more next season since it limits how far someone can get ahead of you.

In this specific boss, reiner doesn't need to be M+ to be helpful

@@SeanWashPhotosolid advice, I honestly hadn't contributed much to kreuger and had opted for koko for more utility, but once I pull oide up to mythic+ I'll be swapping that out for sure. The limitation is I showed one round, but yeah Reinier I usually swap for kreuger or thoran if I'm looking for some sustain.

@@huyngo3086 yeah I usually alternate him, Kreuger, or Thoran depending but usually get very nominal differences since it's usually a tradeoff

@@SeanWashPhoto for starshard I usually opt for quick blade for RNG but yeah I think pre-season brain has me still try out the older artifacts. I'll alternate starshard until I get evocation spell

@@ShawnSetGO I had my Kruger stuck at Legendary and Legendary + even into this season and he still gave great value in these boss fights. He's only Mythic now on my account and I still use him quite a bit for bossing. So I wouldn't worry too much about an under-invested Kruger and slot him in if you can. He's total dog shit in every other game mode though haha!

Dude it was one attempt and sub optimal is what f2p gets to use you imbred. I could say I try all the alternate metas but they're different ascensions obviously so even I use them as Meta they dont have the same output.

@@jeremyquan9201 I hear you. I've heard a few people mentioning using diamonds, but I worry that will only make it harder to get pulls for your A/S-level heroes. Truly, we need hero events that give singular free copies so we can test drive these celestial/hypogean characters more.

@@ShawnSetGO big agree

He freezes the top dps and attacks the CLOSEST CHARACTER. So what happens when a tank or support gets frozen, no problem right? What happens when the top dps is frozen and I have a a fuggin support to clear it. You have no idea what you're talking about, especially from one round. Get educated.

​@@ShawnSetGOtop 49% in a damn new server and you are talking big. You need a damn support like koko in this shit. A tank is not needed but thoran is just a great buffer and sub dps so people will try to bring him in. In my server there are a bunch of f2p that can reach at least top 100 in server ranking and top 500 in district ranking.

@@huyngo3086 yes, koko and thoran are alternates for reinier but the issue I was discovering was though I could sustain, I wasnt getting the damage output before I got lasered. So I opted for damage over debuff. But you're right a koko or kreuger would be great, and I usually do sub them in, not for sustain, but for debuff. Just understand this was a small picture into my attempts and not the entire picture

Her blessing doesn't increase an ally's damage, her blessing gives her additional magic damage while the ally is alive and it's proc'd by the ally's normal attacks so it stands to benefit most by a hero with a quick atttack speed. I've tried the fight with summoner types and true damage wins out in almost all scenarios .

My server just started the new season this month, so yes. I also have completed the pre-season so I think my grasp on the game is just fine

I.e. dont buy from the forges, EVER

What a variety lol

Yeah, but at what level? Cause I've rocked all of those and they have the clearing ability of a table napki, save for maybe support. Koko is too fragile, odie can't clear mobs that have too much health or healing, and thoran drops aggro like a tactical nuke.

@ShawnSetGO for afk stages and pvp : Thoran 2 stars, Arden 3stars, carolina 3 stars, Damian 2 stars, eiron 3 stars. Typical meta team

what

I mean I would argue that the game's mechanics are terrible if you even have to ask if someone screwed up their account or not. That shouldn't be a topic at all.

@@karsonkammerzell6955 I kind of agree with you on that, but it's a bit difficult topic to gage without knowing more about the account and what you want out of the game. First of all, it's a gacha game at it's core and that means, that you wont be top without paying (yes that sucks, but that's how these games work). If you play it here and there for the story and progress, not sure what there is to really complain about. IF you wanna be competetive as a f2p player you have to play daily and do most of the available content -> You can argue that this is bad design, but yeh that's about it. Ofc I can just say "I don't have enough anything to be competitive" and skip most of the content / save my resources, but is that then a valid argument?

It's a solid question, but I do have 42 days currently. I use my dream realm fragments just as you do, filling the costs of ascension which has gotten about 5 characters to mythic, but I havent been as lucky with pulls, aside from a casadee which did help for pre season dream realm. What I ask you to think about is how is anyone without all this foresight to think about direct end game supposed to play this game and know all of this right at the beginning? Cause I'll admit you're not the first to say that you have a semi STACKED account and go "why account bad?"

It's not that I want to be competitive, I just dont want to struggle every day to get minuscule rewards and barely any story progress

@@ShawnSetGO Yeh I understand your point about not having the foresight of endgame and it's a valid point. It's clear that they want people to spend money on the game and that's why they give you limited resources, so if you don't spend them "optimally" as f2p that will hurt your account. I'm fairly competitive person in general, so how I approach games like this is that I look up information on KZbin and I even made a second account after playing a while with my first one to do things better. I understand that is not for everyone. In general I think they made the S1 fights more difficult and your progress slower, because they don't have as much content, so they are trying to slow players down. For a while now I have completed all of the story (as I said I'm around day 60), so mostly what there is to do now is the Dream realm,Arena, some events and battle drills - that's not great, but I like the arena etc, so that's why I keep playing (rank 9 in arena currently). They are definitely running out of content for active players and as you said, the amount of rewards you can get after the story is limited. I guess to somewhat counter argue the resources point, like I said I have 16 m+ characters (with 5x +10 weapon and 2x +5 weapon) -> Yes ofc I would want more options and rest of my weapons upgraded more, but It's ok roster to try things

It's not even subtle, such an obvious power creep that it snuffs out f2p players

@@sol_eternum_3472 once he gets roots I'm all down for it, but I'll maybe just wishlist at best for a copy

@@ShawnSetGO oh absolutely, I saw that he was new and with no info I blew some tickets on him

I did get lucky and pull twice within 15 tickets so I have him a shot, what I’ve learned is his best synergy is with Lucius and Rowan I cuz his energy guage to ult is low so he can throw lotta rocks but overall 3/10 user friendly

@@sol_eternum_3472 I hadn't heard of Lucius but that sounds interesting. I'm curious if I can build a budget team for him

Full transparency Im like 2 weeks into the game so all is still new to me but from experimenting with the heroes I have which most are in legendary. I use him as fodder until he retreats and since Lucius I have is mythic plus with level 2 talent the damage reduction, self shield and Rowan ult and ulmus shield helped a lot for those tough one shot stages, starshard helps maintain dps then that leaves 2 slots for more support or damage dealers, i still dont think he’s worth the investment but for those who got the banner thinking he’d be good the comp is worth a shot

@@remnants9974 thankfully I have one or two so I would say maybe a week of dream realm fragments should have me there for one more, but the way it's been splitting is been unfortunately quite even across 10 or so characters so it's ben slowww

@@scyllastar7202 in hindsight, 100% true

@@herrknabe2973 I've never done a growth bundle myself but I admit it's probably the most tempting when I consider breaking f2p 😅

Rode podcaster condenser microphone, it's been solid for years now

Best I could get believe it or not lol

Lol my bad "Drink like dwarves, smoke like wizards, sing like elves, party like hobbits"

appreciate it! Let me know how it goes or if you have questions

For sure, I think having at least a couple of three costs made a difference in the first round draft. Strange that experiments with all high turned out worse, whereas first round it made sense (3 stars give guaranteed 4 star and bonus 5 star and 4 stars giving guaranteed 5 star with a bonus 4 star)

I'm not 100% since this is onmy my second gacha ive played but perhaps someone knows lol

Copypasted from my google doc I use to help remember info lol - After defeating monsters, you have the ability to Absorb them and equip *one of them* as a skill. - But not only that, absorbed monsters (Echoes) also function as your artifacts / relics. You have a total of 5 slots, with one of them reserved as the aforementioned skill. There are 2-piece bonuses and 5-piece bonuses for each set of Echoes. - In Genshin Impact you have different types of artifacts such as your feather, flower, circlet, ETC. Wuthering Wave’s equivalent is having Echoes of different “Costs.” For example; 4-Cost Echoes can have a Healing Bonus or CRIT% main stat, and 3-Cost Echoes can have an ER% or DMG% Bonus main stat. Whereas 1-Cost Echoes are limited to lesser main stats such as DEF% HP% & ATK%

@@flowerlamps that google doc must look insane, love it

You're totally right thats what I meant. Pinning this and I'll address it in another video

Oh dear lol

riverside games 10/10 Intro - wtf is this?/10

For sure, and I know a lot of people don't mind it (like if gameplay is good I dont care as much). So it's not a nail in the coffin by any means

I'll have to try that lol

the story is what i’ll give to genshin barring chapter 6 but combat wipes the floor with genshin it’s not even a comparison lmao, it’s an arpg the story is a sidenote i want to have fun actually playing the game

Not against the dea if they have a new player event for sure might try

Now I gotta grasp the not so basics and well be good lol

I will say the Male voice actors are unmistakably INSANE. Scar especially. Shai did a great job

this is literally wuwa' s problem rn with they gigamid voice acting but go on

The voice acting, especially the NPCs is mid at best. Some of it even sounds like it's AI done. I've heard the Japanese and Chinese is better but the English is not great.

@@Deymetrey lol Im not calling it the best voice acting ever, just better than genshin with its never ending pointless dialogues mostly done with annoying voices and of course Paymon interrupting with stupid sh$% every 2 minutes. Its just better because it doesnt make me want to kill myself lol

They are trying to do a lot at launch, remember what Genshin was when it first came out, but the combat and animations are miles better than Genshin even if the optimization is not there yet, there are some awkward transitions into Ultis and also changing party members feels unfinished, but they´ll get there, the base they are building on seems to be pretty good.

@@pablodebella7695 yes they are doing extremely well and as well as hearing to their players so ya i am pretty impressed

I think once major bugs get patched we could see a fidelity upgrade. Or at least I would hope

@@pablodebella7695 this exactly. It has the foundations for a lot

Edit: I started with a harsh comment but let me say that I want to learn and grow so if you want to come on my stream any time and discuss this I would hear you out and try to display my point effectively. While I do not mind those who disagree, I dont think it's fair to say "you're wrong, noob" without any explanation.

well, sort've you do. You can wishlist chracters which narrows the pool sginificantly after 30 pulls I believe. additionally, while there are a lot of S-level heroes, not all are worth investing tokens into or necessary to put on a list because the content you complete with them requires them to be much higher (M+ Marilee or Korin for example) for them to reach that potential.)

Antandra with the right team comp is 🔥

For sure, as long as she is able to get her ultimate, she has so much utility.

I would say afk journey has dolphins as apposed to whales, so very small spenders for the most part. I think if you take it from the perspective of "you dont have to spend if you dont want to (for Casuals who log in just to play a little)" but got competitive you can spend so you dont have to grind as much. So you have some go overboard yes, but it's not necessary by any means.
