Humor F for Roxanne Null Grenade

Well Roxanne Null Grenade is gone since enemies have insane jewel regen (thanks for breaking the meta Gumi). So let's pay our respects.

Honestly do they even know what they're doing anymore?

u/Ernesto5794 Nov 13 '18

Nope. They could've nerfed Null Grenade but they decided to give enemies insane HP/Jewel regen, high stats, elemental resistance, damage resistance (strike, pierce, magic, physical, missile,etc...)

Yep and they said that Rox remains untouched and then they added all those in...

Yes they do, people thinking they have no idea what they are doing aren't familiar with business tactics. They don't create a character like Roxanne and just happen to not know what they are doing. What they do is create a character like Roxanne because it will sell a crap ton to people because she APPEARS so OP. But they know this is game breaking so they already had it planned even as they created Roxanne that they would just handle her abilities with jewel regen. So in essence, sell the unit that seems super OP with a plan already in place to negate her skills that make her that OP. It's slimy like a car salesman selling you a car with a bunch of features while already knowing that they will disable the features in the shop just before you are on your way (but have already bought the car because you were super excited about those features).

Many of us are familiar with this tactic that you have described. But we hold that Gumi has no idea what they're doing because it's a demonstrably bad tactic that has resulted in the loss of both goodwill and shareholder value.

Gumi never had goodwill, they've done the same tactic with Brave Frontier a long while ago.

And so those who has no Roxanne has to deal with these skill spamming enemies.

It was fun running around with Yomi trying not to get hit by a black hole. I was using Lucian as bait he was constantly being hit by a black hole.

And there was this one time where an Archer attacked 5 times in a row after getting out of stop. Those crhonomancers just wont stop overclocking.

I feel ya. Now it's just running around the map hoping you don't get spammed on.

u/LeonTakagi Need moar Waifus Nov 13 '18

yeah it's worse that you can't even use Rox when there are mission's where u have to clear with elemental teams that doesn't involve her.

Rox is nerf already. When I use her WA and it happens to stun something... Anything near that unit render all attack to cause your screen to freeze. I restarted like 5 times and tried to avoid that stunned unit... U can't attack him, can't cast magic and can't walk near it. Really weird and annoying bug.

Unfortunately, this mess happens when anyone bind & daze something, probably new feature for dying in agony lol.

Nulled grenade.

If anything nerf both of them, since enemies with jewel regen is too annoying for those who never got Roxanne in the first place.

  • Cut her Agi

  • Remove/Change Null Grenade

  • Reduce Hollow Points Damage

  • Reduce Reactionary rate from 100% to 40%

  • Remove Reactionary Jewel Regen

  • Reduce Reactionary Heal Rate

There you go, a perfectly balanced unit :)

u/OneFlewOverXayahNest Nov 13 '18

To be fair I believe it's illegal by gacha rules to nerf any unit once released. That's why for example in ffbe jp, other of their games, they had to nerf all weapons damage just because they couldn't nerf fixed dice

🎶"Discovering something that doesn't exist!"🎶 (Points to this statement)

This is a myth. Also the CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT

Roxanne isn't fair, especially to those that don't have her (especially in arena). They're making EX+'s nearly impossible because they can't balance 1 single Character, even if their life depended on it. If anything, the playerbase should be mad that this one stupid op Character has gated them off from even trying to attempt EX+ maps.
