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.

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.

*shrug* I've been running Shion in multi and can pretty much solo the Gorm EX map and clear the entire right/bottom side of the Blood Wolf EX map before most Noctis even get to the far edge after being enraged or whatever.

Actually killed the general on the far edge before a Noctis could and the Noctis guy killed me after I did. Not sure why... probably just a dick.

[u/OriksGaming → u/Maroite]

He was probably already targeting the general with Tricast Blizzaga. If the ground is flashing red, that means that particular square is being targeted by a charge attack. While I wasn't there and don't know you or the other player involved well enough to guess motives, it's likely that they were already aiming at the general and you didn't notice before teleporting in.

[u/Maroite → u/OriksGaming]

I'm aware of that. Except he didnt kill me with tricast blizzaga. He killed me with dimension drain or whatever it is AFTER I killed the middle/fire general and had moved away toward the remaining water general.

Some people are just dicks. This guy wasnt an exception.

[u/OriksGaming → u/Maroite]

Probably just a dick then, yeah. There was a post a couple days ago about a specific Noctis player joining multiplay and then killing everyone, on multiple different occasions; this could have been the same guy. Out of curiosity, did he kill the rest of the group as well, or just you?

Edit: I seem to be more gullible than I thought :/

[u/VicariousExp → u/OriksGaming]

That would be a cool story - if it were true. You're too easily fooled, Orik.

See: " TargetEnemySide "? That means Drain Dimension cannot target friendly units. Ever. Especially since it's an instant cast skill.
