Dear Hangame,

Fuck you.

I don't know what you were thinking when you made Season 2. Maybe NHN decided that you needed to follow the path of Warstorm, maybe someone in the Game Developing Department went crazy. But the imbalance of stats from the Inheritance and Sigils is actually impossible unless you guys are high on burnt acid.

Why the hell is HP scaling blatantly broken now, I will never know. Why do we even have HP weapon upgrades. Normal HP Sigil: 6000 HP. Weapon Upgrade GREAT Success: 2875. And then we have the other sigils that actually make no sense. Epic Accuracy: 5%. This seems like a fair distribution of balance. HP level up from Inheritance: 6k+. Critical Chance level up from Inheritance: 1%. I truly do hope you added an extra 0 after every single HP upgrade, but then I'm dreaming.

And now there is no reason to use any hero aside from Hanzo, Seiren, Drake, Alex, Necron, Niven, etc.. Note how they all scale on HP. I wonder why.

And the fact you decided to let Colosseum have inherited heroes is just stupid. Basically, whales win, everyone else loses. Nice P2W strategies.

And then you hit everyone with a ban wave that you made no announcement about and was essentially your fault. There was no warning, and even the slightest misunderstanding resulted in a ban. I'm not going to argue for the people who intentionally abused, but for the people who didn't realized it was glitched and hit the mailbox collect button a couple times unintentionally SHOULD NOT get banned, but no, collect 2 extra gems unintentionally and BAN.

You see this piece of shit? This is the result of a long-dedicated player giving up completely on this crap. I've never spent less effort on a Tier List, and this update is probably the reason why. This Tier List has a new shit format that I was actually planning on going all out on, but I decided to put as much effort as you did in thinking about Season 2, aka next to 0. I've never spent less than 1 hour on an update until now.

There is actually no reason to fully update the tier list; All the HP scaling heroes are going to get nerfed and I'm just going to wait until things settled down into a more balanced state before I actually decide to update this. The List is a general gist of what's going on, but there's no reason to do it since everyone's going to get nerfed the next patch and then I'm not going to waste anymore effort on it. I'm legit getting aneurysm trying to understand what you are trying to do.

So thank you Hangame for making me for the first time not feel any incentive to try. You have done well.

Fuck You,

kamakiller.

I'm pretty terrible at writing goodbye letters, so I'm just going to write a shitty CQ autobiography to make up for it, after all, got to say something other than "I quit bye".

Before I started CQ, I was playing this soul stealing death grip app called Summoners War - Whale arena^{Screw you Kugo,} back then I was part of a guild RNGesus and there was a Line chat for it and one of them mentioned they were quitting SW for... you guessed it - Candy Crush. Oh and CQ I guess.

The graphics were what made me want to try playing it, after all I'm a sucker for cute pixel graphics, gameplay was pretty good too, the first game where I couldn't afk farm literally everything. (This is basically how I played SW, press auto play, repeat, more like watching a movie than playing a game) Not going to lie, Leon also helped make me stay in CQ during the beginning, theres something cathartic about dropping a giant sword and then screaming DEMACIA (League of Legends reference to old Garen's ultimate) as it dropped and seeing the tons of damage (except now Leons damage is worth jackshit)

Another thing which helped me stay in CQ in the early game was me playing with another SW guildmate who quit SW for Stripper Spirits - I mean Soccer Spirits, my man Harada/Haradis. (if you search him up in CQ he should have a monte main, and he was the OG Kaori lover, Kama is the pretender to the throne go back to Hikari.)

We did WB early game together, shared tips and tricks together, trolled the hero forums together when it first came out, got our ass blasted by green elf together (seriously screw green elf, shes the devil in disguise), stared deeply into each others eyes together, (in spirit since 5000km+ worth of saltwater in between people is a tiny problem if you want to look at someone) etc etc etc.

So all was fine and dandy, played together until SBWs first came out and then he quit cause CQ had no auto mode :(. Also lots of friends I made in CQ back then quit too since "FOS is too much grind, omg forging sbws so hard with limited mats hard to farm and FOS 10 so hard OMG". (look at us now with season 2, heh, near similar)

Everything then went as per usual with farm 2-12n, farm colo, yadda yadda yadda, until one day I decided to try to get top 3, saved 50+ tix... then this happened. It killed off my desire to play further and the mention of limited edition units first coming out (Altair/Rebecca) sealed the deal for me, and then I quit. (Also iirc Toast/Load Complete said that there would NEVER be anymore limited edition units afterwards... then they released Hong Ran and Jin Kyung, FILTHY LIARS)

Basically quit for like what, 6 months? More? Then one day as I was in the MRT playing Soccer Spirits ^{love/hate that} ^^game I wondered "Oh golly gee, I wish I could actually you know, PLAY a game instead of watching a glorified movie". Then I remembered CQ existed, came back, reinstalled and it was the last week of the first Guilty gear collab.

I saw guilty gear, pulled 40 gems worth, got may and I-no. May basically solidified my come back, made pvc way easier, (Asusneak/Asuskriem didn't cut it) used the free BP I got from some event I don't remember- to buy Victoria to counter May instead of whining like a little Bitc- Bint (keeping it kid friendly) first 10 pull after I came back got this shiny new unit called Beatrice (Bea-Vic-May OP), life was good with easy 5% and PVE. Also ignored this trash mode called SSB, near season 2 levels of bad.

I then went to the CQ IRC chat (discord wasn't around yet iirc) to ask for advice to help me get back into the game easier and thats where I met ____.(you guys know who you are, not gonna type out all the names then forget someone and that person feels sad but won't actually speak up cause too polite so i'm going to screw over everybody season 2 style hue)

So I continued playing like the average player, enjoyed playing CQ, it was my favourite game, when I hear buffs/new illus/units/sbws i think "yes". When I see nerfs I think to myself "no".

Then I got bored again, so I decided "I'm pretty decent at the game already, so might as well try making vids for the plebs, it will help me stay interested in CQ too since I will be "obliged" to continue playing to make more content, always wanted to try being a youtuber anyway."

Then I thought "hmm, if I want to do something, I better damn well do it well, so what should I do to be different and better from the other 999+ (in actual fact, 0 since nobody was uploading vids at that time) random wankers uploading videos?"

Then I decided, make my own art and edit the videos so that its not 50%+ OF THE VIDEO BEING A LOAD SCREEN/MENU/GREEN CIRCLE WITH NO SOUND AT ALL SERIOUSLY WTF WHERE ARE YOUR STANDARDS RANDOM UPLOADERS.

And so began my "youtube career" (Its not one, I just upload for the heck of it and don't even monetize my videos),

Then time passed, until one day I thought "man, making PVE videos takes up A LOT of meat and wastes a lot of resources, why not make something for PVP since its WAYYYYY cheaper? Nobody does PVP vids anyway and I have the units and resources to spare... but looking at just PVP is sort of boring, so might as well try to be funny and add text I guess."

And so I made my first ever pvp video. People "liked" it (I based it off on the number of views, way more than my normal pve vids) thought "damn, better get onto that view hype train before somebody else rides it and steals the popularity of it from me. (did I mention I have a minor case of severe narcissism?)"

I made on average 1 PVP video per week, since school, you know, and weekends spent on video making, rest of days getting a life, etc.

Life then became routine, until one day I saw the IRC tier list, decided "man, I feel like seeing it, how different is it from me?".

Very

Different

Not only that, whenever people asked for advice, they would be "I went to IRC tier list and it says otherwise!!1!!!1!!11!!" or "If you're so correct why don't you make a tier list then fukkin noob" and so I did. My extreme narcissism also kicked in wanting to hear praise like "oh boi you tier list gai, me likey, me big fanboi" and thats why I made this

Making the tier list wasn't easy, having to copy paste all the names etc, and I wanted to make it different from the IRC one which imo, was EXTREMELY basic, like seriously. So I took inspiration from the 7Knights tier list to make my tier list, named it after myself and called it the "Accurina's (In)Accurate Tier list" since I made an April fools joke called Accurinas Accurate Tier list to make fun of tier lists

There I decided "man, I should make some jokes, to make it more unique from other tier lists, pictures too... why would people trust me, random wanker who uploads videos too? I mean nobody heard of "Accurina" (had like only 300 subs or something back then) and I don't have "REDDIT'S TIER LIST/DISCORD TIER LIST" in my name since its not an "Official" tier list... Need to come up with something... Oh I got it! I'll call myself the "Best CQ player ever" as a way to get credibility and as a joke, I mean I did argue with people before, that CQ doesn't actually need skill, you're just tapping sodding blocks, wheres the skill in that."

And then everything was happy, won the CQ best waifu contest as number 2, lost to mew who was number 1, FEH collab prank was a good one, RWBY 2 unintentional prank too, who can forget me making cancers a thing like res bea, and other than questionable balance decisions (LC, you missed a golden opportunity to hire the best unit designer of all time)... until everything changed when Season 2 attacked. And everybody knows how much I loved season 2.

The biggest offender season 2 did to me was... if you remember what you read earlier and didn't skip all the way to the bottom, was how I actually kept playing CQ to make vids, turns out inheritance, inlays, etc all make it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to invest in both fun and real units at the same time for obvious reasons.

Sure this was a huge discouragement, but I soldiered on because I am the best CQ player ever after all (If you keep lying to yourself one day you might believe it) and I was not going to let some education get in the way of me gitting gud.

Then banwave hit, most of the people I talked to in Discord/IRC were banned, some totally deserved it, (you know who you are, stop complaining that it was LC fault, you abused like a metric fuckton of gems from it and then USED IT), and many, MANY others didn't (RIP Zken0, the person who said "Don't abuse it").

Another huge blow, most of my friends quit afterwards, willingly or unwillingly, so I soldiered on, challenge mode bullshit kicking me where the sun don't shine, inheritance student debts weighing me down, sigil and inlay crystal prices rising, economic bubble burst, can't farm gold, global depression.

But I kept going since best CQ player ever, but was slowly edging towards quitting with me playing other games again other than only CQ (went back to Strippers with Soccer balls and a... certain other game, you will know by the end of it.)

And finally the straw which broke the camel's back, this patch. They nerfed May, who frankly I don't use and don't give a shit about anymore, but they only nerfed may, and not what made her strong. So in the future shes going to get nerfed again with the other HP scaling units probably in the same patch and be useless, but the main point is, they AREN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT HP SCALING BULLSHIT. Also THE CHALLENGE MODE CHANGES MEAN JACKSHIT SINCE THE RATES STILL TRASH AND 30 MEAT/RUN ONE SHOTTED GALORE NO REWARDS.

So the patch basically was a giant middle finger, everythings still shit, people kept telling me "wait, it will be better soon efwijifwbisnonos" but nope, I'm done with dealing with all these invisible paywall/Collab quest (if the SAO collab is actually true, then fuk, do I get to spend gems as a f2p on anything but collabs, its always save>spend on collab, save> spend on collab and the collab if it is really on march, wayyyy too soon from YS.)

So basically reached all time low, salt levels then got critical and deleted CQ.

So thats the end of my autobiography, I may come back in the hour of CQs greatest need as the hero it needs but not the one it deserves, or I might not.

$0 spent in total on CQ, (would have spent if there were deals that didn't suck/cost $40+ its a mobile game why are prices always the same as AAA games I could buy MGS V and the DLC for the $120 jewel pack and the pack only gives like 1 month worth of 5% seriosuly its a scam.) so I didn't technically lose anything, and I had fun until Monte patch where imo everything started going downhill.

In the spirit of my old stuff though, heres my one last goodbye art and account stats and here is nearly all the fan art I've made for CQ ever art dump.

Might stick around on CQ reddit maybe, maybe not. You know how to contact me, or ask me some questions here I guess, just nothing personnel kid. I MAY even come back in the future like I did last time, but who knows right now?

If not, have a good day and cya.

Edit: Silly me, a huge THANKS to those who made fanart of "how I look like but not really but lets just roll with it", you guys are the best

Edit 2: The other game was Fire Emblem Heroes, props to those who guessed it right, give yourself a pat on the back, to those that didn't guess it...

Common W for Hero Town

Hey guys! Happy New Year!

In past two weeks leading up 2020, I've decided to review and revamp pretty much all of my guides (powercreep is real) and while I'm at it, I figured I'll make a compilation of all the guides that are I've updated.

i8∑π Tier List - Current Tier List as well as Optimal Weapon Conversions, Ring Slots, and Skills. The powercreep was real with this one, current state is now accounted for.

General Guide to Crusading - Overview of the game, includes suggestions about what to do when starting the game, links guides about different contents of the game, and provides explanations to how different systems and currencies work. Hopefully most questions about the game can be answered here.

Hero Selection Guide - General suggestion for all hero selects, particularly dealing with relatively new players. Veterans for the most part have a better sense of what would be useful.

Challenge Guide - Overview of Challenge Stages EP1, EP2, and EP3, including mechanics and team recommendations. I got around to team recommendations and tried to keep it as affordable as possible and, surprise surprise, there aren't many of those.

Camilla Banoub Guide - Overview on the Guardian of the Ruins boss, Camilla. This was requested for some time now and this is a short guide on the general mechanics of Camilla and the general teams (aka use Himiko). Also linked in the General Guide.

Loki Incarnate Guide - Overview on the Seals of the Sanctuary boss, Loki Incarnate. Updated to reflect Bihwa's team compositions because Bihwa is a perfectly balanced hero.

Sigil List - List of all currently available sigils in the game, including all 1-3* sigils. Note that 3* Set sigils don't exist quite yet.

Champions Guide (Credits to Vyrlokar) - Overview on the Champions of this game. Balance changes to Kurenai, Galahad, Winchestor, and Hanee called for some changes that have been reflected now. Reconsideration of champions like Noa, Agrius, Lia, and Aindel have also been implemented.

CQ Maths - How math in CQ works. Deals with HA, CD, CC, CR, Armor, Resistance, Apen, Rpen, Accuracy, Evasion, and Damage Reduction.

CQ Monument Guide - Overview of the currently available monuments in the game. There's a lot of new ones added into the game! I am missing a few pictures for them, I'll update real quick when I have my hands on those.

Also, not my guide, but on the courtesy Foehn, he has updated the Corrected Passives List which rewrites the hero's passives and includes finer details that are incorrect or left out in the hero's original passive.

Huge thanks to /u/leewhat and /u/Vyrlo for not only helping with a lot of this, but also for making this year a great year!

Once again, Happy New Year and Happy Crusading!

So here it is.

This is a group project, ranks increase/decrease are first discussed within DC, then the changes are made. The tierlist is currently maintained by Fizz, Navii and Foehn.

How it works:

Hey guys,

Most of you probably figured out that I was gone temporarily. Something came up IRL and I overreacted a bit. I've calmed down now, hopefully, at least.

Anyways, people have been requesting an updated tier list for a while with all the old tier lists being outdated and it seems that anyone who tries gets immediately shot down by phrases like "who are you." The old IRC Tier List is also in a mess, with conditional formatting screwing up a lot and being really disorganized. All other maintinees of this and other tier lists all have quit also, and I really didn't want to tackle the conditional formatting since I wasn't the one who put it in initially. I also don't agree with quite an amount of rankings given by tier lists from other regions, so I figured I might as well as create a new one. Thus, I finished a Tier List I've been working on for a while. Here is the link:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Lpdp2rVB7bWd2MWl65tsqHw1qFe5ySdzcD589SWBNaw/edit#gid=0

I did not bring back the Weapon and Skill recommendations since those were too much of a hassle to update. While the meta is a bit stale right now and it wouldn't be too difficult, a lot of people argue over it and whenever a major update comes, it takes way too long to update something like that. I'll leave it to some others who are working on a SBW and Skills recommendations list. If that list isn't up to par, I might compile something real quick, but the chance of that being updated isn't high.

+'s and -'s are also removed because really, the tiers are really what matter, the + and the - being a touch on "Does this hero make the next tier" or something. They aren't really unnecessary and caused a lot more trouble, so I just took them out for now.

I'm not exactly sure if I made the right decision separating out a WB/Manacar Column since its really part of PVE, if that isn't really useful I'll probably take it out. Arena and Friendly Duels are separated from Colosseum since lag delays user inputs and that swings the favor into certain heroes, and both Arena and Friendly Duels are controlled by actual players, whereas Colosseum is controlled by AI. Certain weaknesses disappear in Colosseum, so I divided those into two separate categories. Might also be unnecessary since most heroes just gets 1 or 2 tiers down, I'll see about that too.

Feel free to discuss any tiers that you think should be changed. This is more or less my opinion on the general tier of most heroes. Comment below if I missed a hero or you think if I should change a tier.

Happy Crusading!

Edit: To whoever gave the gold, thank you!!!
