Waiting for my uncut Zeta sheet compensation.

(Joke related to War of Spark fiasco for those who weren't around)

I'm an old timer. I think this is a lot to try and prove Ali Baba is an original Magic character. It's not, neither is Sinbad nor Shahrazad. I love Arabian Nights and I think it's in the spirit of Universes Beyond. It doesn't bother me. I will engage with worlds I like, I won't engage with New York.

And now we're just one step away from Secret Lair exclusive expansion set. Nothing they promise matters because if they see people (scalpers or whatnot) buy this, they will use that just pivot to "giving people what they want".

There is an infinity symbol in one of the DD bubbles!

I can only speak for myself because people have different reasons. I for one remember that our 1st ever expansion is basically Universes Beyond: Tales of 1001 Nights (aka Arabian Nights). I have never heard anyone complain about the theme of this set. Playing this game was supposed to evoke the idea of a wizard summoning fantastical creatures you bond with. Now I am constantly reminded I am summoning New York City instead. Conclusion, the theme is no longer my thing.

Love that you spent the 3 months to 5* her but you didn't level her to r13?! Someone get the Arena ref, this needs a yellow card lol.

No, if anything use that on a trinket which can be transferred around to different characters. For example Pooch Runrun's astral is essentially better Shield of Justice for Elaman characters. Or use it on good ol' Shield of Justice / Blood Luxite Amulet.

The devs really didn't think this out before implementation. There is no reasonable way for players to figure out the gender of many enemies underneath armor or uniforms. Could have left a symbol in the unit description or something.

Just imagining what Lukamar is thinking on that hill... "man the size of the bath I can make with that much water."

Yes I've noticed but I am not going to remember the rotation every night. I'm sure others have to do the extra click just to remember. The point is this click is an entirely unnecessary action just like many other things in this mode.

In addition to what everyone has said already, I think it's a fail that players have to hit yet another button to see what the bonus rotation is for the day. This can be made apparent on the base screen by making the two towns shiny or put a star there or something.

There needs to be copy a full 5 town rotation.

I think this is why I constantly wind up with Matt Stafford on my fantasy team, year after year. 

[[Illusionary Wall]] because back in 1995 as a kid, finding a 5 CMC 7/5 flying first strike creature was bananas insane for power standards. Until you find out that creature walls cannot attack from an obscure line in the rule booklet found inside a starter deck. There was no reminder text and no keyword telling you this on the card back then.

As an alternative opinion, I like to use Mega Crossbow. Death Sentence wants to proc extra hits on targets further away so I aim for a close enemy instead. From my experience this was best against small groups which is practical for most fights.

You don't have to play it if you don't want but it's got a great story and great world building. If there are any luxite rewards (I think the event recently expired) then you at least do it for rewards. It's also the "gacha free" mode for RPG enjoyers without being constrained with paying money.

I agree, cool design but really lacking in story, almost wondering if it's cut content. Could have not existed at all. What's up with her relationship with her sister? Where did they come from? What is their motive? What the hell has she personally been doing since the start of SoD? What happened to her? Why does she have a crazy looking tail?

Basically screaming for numerous Elysium bond stories. The devs stopped writing stories since the witches. I hope they add some back because they're one of my favourite parts. Just the character being real with the MC, one on one.

Revised. You can tell by the faded colours, the lack of inside bevel on the border and the T tap symbol. 2nd Edition would actually say "Tap (to do something)".

Last time there was an OP green summon (let's call him Bulbasaur) that could solo everything as long as you picked the right buffs at the end of each stage. I think even a new player power level could clear more than 75% of attempts at the highest difficulty if you knew your mechanics well. 

It was pretty fun and when it got tiring, we could just have Bulbasaur on auto eating people and SP Saffiyah healing him nonstop.

The way I interpret this is basing my costs for future units. Some future units will need a high cost to function (need high star level and/or their astral) while others don't need much investment (Lutfi aura bot ftw).

People who don't have a certain unit might also find the cost value useful.

Established players who have been following CC content will likely find figures for existing units to be useless.

Yes one more imo. One collab after an entire year is actually less than I expected. I think having two per year is still a healthy amount to consume. I don't want SoC to turn into the nonstop collab train that waters down the beautiful world that's already been created. I want the collab to fit in thematically. If it was Frieren I would buy it all. I also want them to keep the quality high. Been really enjoying the Delicious in Dungeon one. It has voice acting, some fun mechanics, some unique sprites and omg Nydia are you OK?! The only thing missing about this collab is maybe some fun bond stories.

Speaking of which, what is up with the lack of bond stories with characters released since the witches? It's was one the best world building mechanics in the game and super enjoyable.

It's understated how the only thing preventing anyone from completing all end game content in this game is finding motivation to put in the effort. Very thankful for minds like Spriyue who keep the f2p dream alive. I don't need to run these clears but I still learn a lot from them.

Where did Kiya's astral go? :'(

I get it that it's a "me" problem but let's reference the phrase "considerable rate" in the context of numbers. I'm personally at lvl 9X. I see a whole bunch of people at past 150 even 170 and 180 (man props to you power gamers). They're actually earning AFK currency at twice my rate per day. So by the end of a week, you're a whole level behind them.

Do I need to put so much pressure on myself to keep up? No, admittedly probably not a good idea. But the longer I don't climb, the farther I fall behind and the goal post keeps moving further away figuratively. Curious how do I catch up to them easily? I do understand eventually I can just auto but by then the Ferraris are in the next county.

To explain for those who haven't experienced VH, defeat visuals was literally a fountain of blood spewing 10 feet in the air. Trauma yeah and may have committed some war crimes in that one level with the villagers.. oops!

I love dusting off the old benched units but don't love how this mode is enormous and compelling you to run as much of it as possible because it directly affects AFK income. As a gamer with limited time per day, it feels if I don't force myself to run Pioneer then I'll fall way behind others and this comes at the cost of not being able to enjoy the story mode.

I would have preferred they capped at like 100 for now and release more pioneer a few weeks later.
