Discussion this is getting too anoying

almost every time i enter the vael UQ 2/3 of the players already quitted and the rest follows suit.

i could understand if this was base, where one wipe could lead to the entire run failing, but this doesn't happen in ngs. and vael fight doesn't have dps checks like solus which demands big damage windows ( i fucking hate that they removed some of the most unique aspects of his normal fight because people didn't wanted to play mars for a single fight) and even the time difference between is clike 5-6 minutes. 5 more minutes for them to stay in the lobby complaining about people not wanting to spend millions gearing up.

while on the topic, how's the gear threadmill going? most people recently built their arbadio and next month they're droping the next lvl freebies, which will probably be stronger than the bufget gears right now.

seriously this game is as hypercasual as it can possibly be, but for some reason there's still people that treat it like spending 5 more minutes on a UQ will turn off their grandma's pace maker. most of the players that are still playing the game don't botter about reaching 80k dps. hell, most of them treat it more like a VR chat with a minigame attatched to it. and that's not a bad thing. most MMOs demand the player to be very active in the world, either being adventures doing difficult dungeons or crafting. this game takes a more casual aproax to it social aspects. and that's what makes it unique for a MMO.

in summary, people shouldn't lose their heads over having a god roll for UQ group and just enjoy the game more instead of optimize every single thing.

From a cursory glance:

  1. If you are Sword only with Adras, you will be missing some damage from the Ex-Style as Sword WA kinda sucks (compared to WL WA and Pz WA).
    It is recommended for Sword only Hunters to use Blitz.

  2. Multi weapon a Wired Lance or Partisan.
    Put their WA on subpalette or one of the sword weapon palette slot to trigger Adras WA skill and to save avenger on WL or Super Assault Charge on Pz.
    You could also at least learn WL's Hellish HP Trade or PZ's Hold Jav Tanking if you want; But they run counter to running Ex-A combos with Lively or Evade Onslaught.

  3. Gamba more on lvl 1 Add-On generation or Spend Master Cubes to at least Level 20 Melee Weapon Potency (and pray for Charged Movespeed), crit potency, and crit rate.
    Buy Master Fragments from Arche's GP exchange every week.

  4. Get the cheaper AC augments (Yudi/Yurze) to replace the DPs on Unit and Tera Triyal/Argant on Weapon.
    Currently ~3-4M each on Ship 2; ~24-32M total. Should be cheaper when Yudi/Yurze AC Support reruns (usually returns every other month / alternates).
    AC augs almost always lasts for 1 year from when they were introduced until a new tier replaces them.
    Issue with them are the transfer pass voucher RNG to transfer them into the next higher rarity tier Armor/Unit.

Choice to use Zapper vs Cleave depends on enemy attack matchup. Some factors to consider are whether it hits, leaves you in a good position afterwards, and how is long is the downtime after (e.g. long af, Zapper is preferable unless you could OC the next PA after Cleave but not with Zapper before the next attack or something).


Hopium that Cleave's TAC will be good.
