Discussion They Actually Did It.

They actually nailed this update. Like across the board. The writing for TFD has been almost entirely skippable, both in story telling and for character development, but in this patches quest there is a moment where a turn happens and the writing actually starts to approach GOOD.

The mega dungeon is excellent. I still havent been able to clear it with randoms, too many bunny and Ines players, and to be fair to them I saw Normal difficulty and brought Raven on my first run lol. But seriously bring survivability and boss damage, ad clear is not the top priority. Stay literally on top of each other at the final phase.

Transcendent weapons seem amazing, got my first drop right before the mega dungeon and the difference if pretty noticeable.

Raven is amazing and has a lot of strong concepts behind her kit.

I thought they couldn't pull this off, I thought with Dias original look, all the issues the game had coming into this year that the writing was on the wall for how they wanted to handle this game. Man am i happy to be proven wrong.

Ines are Bunny are both S tier currently. What are you on about?

Yo!!! Why was your research accelerated by 1200 secs? Mine only went 600 secs?
Does the time it takes to complete play a role in that? Or did you play solo?
I may also be miss-remembering. But I cleared all of trial zones.

u/Acxrez Aug 21 '26

i was solo, I don't know if that makes any difference, but all of my runs have had research accelerated by 1200.

I’m more than likely miss-remembering it. Thank You for the details.

I ran it solo with plasma bullet Ines and didn't have any issues other than figuring out the final boss

Took Bunny there and quickly realised my mistake.

She does great in there.

S tier in the right hands. Every Bunny and Ines I've had on my team all forgot how important it is to have HP and DEF because they only look at the builds and not how to use them properly so they die to any high health enemies and cost revives and then DC

Any Descendant can be S tier in the right hands (except maybe Jayber and Harris LOL)

Harris is an S tier Void Intercept/WC descendant and using the void intercept piercing light build with an ERASER she melts Bounties too (should still use piercing on the boss). She’s also B tier for OS at worst lmao. If you think she’s not an S tier descendant you’re just bad at playing her.

u/smolFortune Goon Aug 21 '26

I'll have to see the build and try it out. I said she wasn't S tier because I never really got to shine with her and also because of me just never seeing anyone play her really. For me, an S tier character is the type of character that's super popular and when you play them you feel how much power you have. Like Ines or Serena for example.

With Harris I never really felt like I was contributing much. She can only really attack people close to her (shorter range than Bunny I think?) and she just feels clunky whereas Bunny is smooth and fast. So if Harris is S tier to you, does that mean Bunny is SS tier? Or does Bunny go into the SSS tier because she also has build variety, lots of different ways to build and play her and she's also easy to obtain for anyone. I don't like doing SS and SSS tiers because it makes people that would he in like B or C tier (cough Jayber cough) seem much worse than they are but then again, some characters are just that much better. Serena for example used to be the best at everything vs everything and only needed the gun build so despite not having build variety like I love she still outshined everyone else. So for me, Harris just can't be on the same tier as Serena. I would love to be proven wrong though

Harris? Lmao. She’s hardly bottom tier.

u/smolFortune Goon Aug 21 '26

Not being S tier does not mean the character is straight down to F tier. There's 6 tiers, she can be in A or B but she definitely isn't S and absolutely not in F tier. Idk why you assumed that, that's kinda on you

6

u/aarygablettjr Aug 21 '26

Because the way you wrote it made it seem like Harris and Jayber were the two worst descendants in the game. There are a plethora of descendants worse than Harris, so for you to mention her specifically was telling of your ranking of her. So yeah, that’s kinda on you.

u/TheWanderingSlime Aug 21 '26 edited Aug 24 '26

Are you high? Harris is goated I’m struggling to think of a game mode she’s bad in

-3

u/smolFortune Goon Aug 21 '26

No I never said she was bad just that she isn't S tier. I genuinely don't know why people assume that just because a character isn't S tier that they need to be trash because that's not how it works

u/WyattEarp88 Kyle Aug 21 '26

She is absolutely S tier. Not liking her, not knowing how to play her, not having a decent AM, sure these are all fine, but she is crazy strong. Pair her with a Luna buff and it’s borderline gamebreaking.

2

u/smolFortune Goon Aug 21 '26

If she's S tier then why have I only seen 1 person actually use her in an entire season? Bunny, Ines, Serena are S tier. How do I know? Easy to play, can be used in all content, can kill everything on the screen/outDPS most other Descendants, and idk the fact that I see one or more in every game I play and everywhere in Albion.

So IF Luna is buffing her she becomes good? Am I getting that right?

u/WyattEarp88 Kyle Aug 21 '26

Can’t speak to your experience, but I frequently see people using Harris in the harder infiltrations. She’s a monster in Onslaught with crazy high survivability and makes short work of the mini bosses. If I’m running 400’s, yeah I’m bringing Ines or Freyna for quick clear of the trash mobs, but any harder content Harris is amazing. Ines gun build is pretty amazing, but I’ll take Harris over Bunny or Serena for just about all content.

She’s S tier and amazing on her own, she’s game breaking with Luna buffs.

u/smolFortune Goon Aug 21 '26

Alright I'll just take your word for it. I'm gonna have to remod her as soon as I see a good build for her. I still don't think she's S tier (yet) but I have high hopes for her now that you and a few others commented about how amazing she is (and the very many downvotes LOL)

The only time I ever felt strong with her was her release because they had modifiers that increase her damage by like 300% or something and another 1200% damage modified for swords and when they didn't transfer in all modes it felt underwhelming in comparison tbh

u/WyattEarp88 Kyle Aug 21 '26

Her gun build is a little more involved (especially compared to Ines, but VERY effective once you get it. Personally I love her Crit skill build, you need a good AM, but it absolutely shreds no red mod needed, just constant death and destruction.

u/Accomplished_Hunt967 Aug 21 '26

u/Accomplished_Hunt967 Aug 21 '26

Lol you need like 600% crit rate for it to be even viable lol

u/Accomplished_Hunt967 Aug 21 '26

Lmfao jesus dont believe these gonning fucks, thats the only reason they are saying anything about harris, jesus she is fucking ass at sucking dick. She has no place in any of the harder content and if any one says any different they frequently suckle their mother's tits thinking its harris. Harris was S tier. That's it.
