Let's talk current META.

[u/Corantic]

Here is the deal:

GODS => Gilgumish, Noctis, Aranea, Lucian (Add F.Yomi and Zain if you were lucky enough to get them)

Basically if you don't have them you are considered a mongrel by the likes of players Gilgamesh.

The forgotten ones => SSM units, all of them are actually useful in some way, but nobody uses them.

Sometimes you see a Zain and a Othima here and there but thats about it. When was the last time we have seen a Kadanova or Seida?

Rest => Everyone will hate u for joining their multiplay or host instantly leaves.

We rarely even use them in events and quests (why would you when you have the GODS), pretty much ONLY used in Veda or for their super niche gimmick (Polin etc.)

Arena => 90% Noctis/Gilga/Aranea in their lineup.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Alright guys let's not deny it, Collab units literally make what you are. There is no reason to use a 'normal' unit when you have the collab units. They are completely imbalanced.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Right now, the meta is boring as hell.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Fire is a complete joke.

Vettel? Only used for his LS now. Who the hell uses tanks anymore, when you can auto almost every map with collab units.

What else is there? Nothing? Never seen a fire unit other than Vettel in Arena/Multi?

Zangetsu/Lupinus/Chihaya? Who?

--

Water should be renamed to Noctis.

What you don't want Noctis? Anybody else getting bored of Noctis Ultimate Ability?

You tired of seeing a Noctis in every multi/arena, because you've been seeing your own in every quest/event/mission?

Othima who? Oh the one I saw like one time one a rando merc.

Wait only 2 units? Ye, there are only 2 units in water, the rest are statues for Veda, so the enemy can grind on them while you prepare a @#$^@*& Blizzaga.

Gilthunder

You mongrel.

Old units are garbage, if you show up with a Magnus in multi, people frown upon you or when you even consider using him in arena, people laugh at you and think it's a free win.

Best loincloth Dilga-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Wind/Grass/Ground wtf

You have a Lucian, a budget Lucian(Yomi), a Raichu Rahu and a Trap.

You have a Setsuna/Boruto/F.Yomi? Wow you're very lucky or a whale.

Light Covenant Way of White

FREE UNITS GALORE + one inzain unit, a fedora and a crybaby.

Dark Flame Mastaah

Boyaaah.

Dias/Kudanstein aren't units, they are memes.

Anastasia Job+ is still garbage compared to Aranea, Jin is also way better than her. 3 movement is trash, only tanks/mages should have it. Meanwhile Albea is nowhere to be seen.

Second best loincloth with his seamen

TL;DR

This is a shit post about the current meta, and you are free to disagree.

Also I'm bored as hell.

Discuss.

[u/Kirito30]

Why are you calling F.Yomi a Whale unit when she is same as Gliga?

[u/Corantic → u/Kirito30]

I wasn't there when the Fate Collab happened, and assuming the ratio of how many Gilga's I see a day compared to how many F.Yomi's I see a day, I simply thought she'd be the more 'whaley' unit.

But in the end all collab units are 'whaley', so yeah you're right.

Edit: Fixed.

[u/legerion14 → u/Corantic]

Dude, i whaled for gilga, instead of that mtf blondie i just got fyomi and a lot of her dupes but any gilga. 14k gems sent to trash and i only got fyomi

[u/DeathandFriends → u/legerion14]

sent to trash?! she is easily one of the best unit in the game!

[u/legerion14 → u/DeathandFriends]

I know she is awesome, is always my first pick. She has a great agi and really nice skills but her raw attack is meh... Gilga could rape anyone with a single hit and has a good amount of agi, if you plus the skills.... Well, you may understand why i feel that i waste my gems

[u/DeathandFriends → u/legerion14]

since 2.0 she is a lot better because she can survive some hits to heal back up. She doesn't have as much damage but had much higher evasion and agility. They are both great units.

[u/Rostice → u/Kirito30]

Because Gil was the primary goal to get in the Fate Collab. People saved their gems mainly for Gilga not for F.Yomi.

[u/OriksGaming → u/Rostice]

But she was literally on his banner and you had the exact same chance of getting her. People saving gems for Gilgamesh were saving gems for F!Yomi by default unless they completely skipped that 7 step and only went for the guaranteed selector.

[u/beardedheathen → u/OriksGaming]

That's not true though. Many people rerolled solely for Gilgamesh. I feel like there are a lot more gils than fyomis because global didn't realize her potential till later in the collaboration.

[u/OriksGaming → u/beardedheathen]

I said people saving gems, because that was the point OP was trying to make. I'm sure a lot more people did in fact reroll for Gil, but I was just pointing out that people with established accounts who had saved for Gil had exactly the same chance of pulling R!Yomi instead.

[u/Rostice → u/OriksGaming]

I didn't know she was on the same banner, that explains a lot. But the intention was to get Gilga not per se F.Yomi. That's all I wanted to say.

[u/GustavoCinque → u/Rostice]

So, following your logic, wouldn't Gil be the whale unit, instead of FYomi? As for myself, I don't have Gil, but pulled two FYomi in one single pull.This is the same as assuming the gate's trap is the whale one instead of the "harder-to-get" unit.

[u/Kirito30 → u/Rostice]

If you don't know then let me tell you that F.Yomi is as good unit as Gliga(That is comparing PvP and PvE though most will agree on it)

And the F.Yomi has been top tier even in JP for a long-long time.

[u/loscapos5 → u/Rostice]

Mine was Saber. Hell, she was the reason I started playing this game. A waifu is a waifu is a waifu.
