>Ravian needing buffs after stone change became a thing
First for
NOPE
Bora and Blade needed buffs. The rest were not needed.
Jeremiah Gomez
Don't leave us DonaldTrump
Mason Morales
Vann was needed since he was trash making so much strikers stacking strikers was retarded though
Aaron King
...
Anthony Richardson
Is Ravian now the best striker? I mean, she's already the cutest so...
Ravian deserved those buffs.
Juan Gomez
Only ONE of his skills needed to be changed.
They went overboard
Now he is retarded strong AND he has higher stats than every single striker besides Shanti and Vonchi.
Brandon Perez
That's it? That's your genius "properly built"? I never expected anything and I'm still disappointed.
Elijah Williams
NEW DRAWS
Aug. 12th - Aug. 13th: Bora (Ardor), MX82 Vann (Thunder), Saramir (Whirlwind), Elua (Light), Verister (Dark), Jin (Whirlwind, Legendary), Duran (Whirlwind, Legendary)
Aug. 19th - Aug. 20th: Angela (Ardor), Blade (Thunder), Jade Rakshasa (Whirlwind), Latios (Light), Dale (Dark), Duke (Light, Legendary), Vonchi (Light, Legendary)
Irru is cuter, she didnt need those buffs though, she was already great
Jeremiah Rivera
>miho nerfed even more when she was already underwhelming >virgil "nerf" was literally nothing >beatrice completely left in the dust Nice game BB.
Oliver Wilson
>Latios buffs
Cameron Price
Ohh hey guys, Alice is NEW STAR now, LMAO, just use DS.
Alexander Jones
Virgil nerf was bigger than Miho's, Miho only lost 3% spirit, but she still doesn't have an EE so her skill could be upgraded Beatrice doesn't need buffs either
Brandon Bailey
Any units I should keep an eye out on for a dark/light backline? Using Isillia as a GK
Caleb Cook
>Aug. 19th - Aug. 20th: Angela (Ardor) history isn't going to repeat itself
Luke Miller
>Beatrice doesn't need buffs either
Compare her to every other 'OHKO' striker and tell me in what way she favorably compares to any of them.
Cooper Phillips
>Virgil now heals at best 1 bar as opposed to 1.5 Now he is irrelevent, and you're better off using Miho for her reflex/hp totem.
Camden Smith
what are the best non legendary strikers and gks now?
Noah Flores
Cheetos,Virgil,Black Ivy and someone else
Luke Anderson
She's cuter Pretty much the only thing she does better.
Isaac Jenkins
Ronald is a beast Lucid for her 200% natural crit rate
Evan Lee
Is she the best ardor passer? Which striker is the best to use alongside her?
Juan Bennett
Moose is cuter
Lucas Perez
I'm the only one pissed at 3 consecutive valkia nerfs? WTF is wrong with her? nobody users her outside CoT and I need her for CoT, this week was a pain in the ass after they nerfed my action speed stones for her. NO MORE. STOP REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Christopher Anderson
RETURN OF THE 200% NATURAL CRIT RATE MEME.
THANK YOU BLESSED BB
Joshua Thomas
willy, leventor and vonchi still at the top Shanti, Sharr, Griffith - Sharr only cause of the ardor crit damage stones though Ravian right below, other stacking strikers might be there too
ardor strikers
Jace Powell
She gets 60% power, 30% pen, 15% CD and 30% crit on every shot. Most strikers are lucky to get even one of those things
Colton Collins
>willy on top kek, silly sub 2900 shitter. Willy isnt even top 5.
James Watson
>full sup lucid in box from dupes alone It's time to replace beatrice for ww/dark
Kayden Sullivan
Beatrice is ugly
Reddit is ugly too
Noah Young
And yet she still deals consistently less damage then any of them. Why?
Lincoln Anderson
Don't bother with these retards. Everyone wants to chime in with 'but ravian was fine tho' nonsense when anyone who actually used her could see her crippling flaws due to her muddled skill set.
Ryan Lopez
Got Black Ivy already, using her with Niarose and gilgamesh. By Cheetos do you mean Chitose?
Josiah Cruz
Post you buttrice then, most galaxy ones I've gone up against do at least 2-3k damage on an active shoot active pass.
Charles Smith
>griffith HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Brayden Sullivan
Because you don't know how to build her. I've had beatrices hit my Isillia for 2k without getting an active pass. Beatrice is always a wild card when I encounter one, because they might be a fucking retard like you or they might actually know how to build a front line and stones and have her hit for 2k + defender damage right out the gate
Lincoln Taylor
>he hasnt seen a WoM Willy
I've seen Beatrices do more damage to my >Isillia than a lot of other strikers
>50% natural pen >bonus damage to every gk >35% bonus damage to WW she's good
Vitos needs to get his shit kicked in a little bit.
David Jones
Yes, Cheetos should be a main focus if you want Isillia to survive a couple shots from a decent thunder team
Oliver Fisher
>Wild card
So fucking true I've seen Beatice's shoot either subpar 500 damage and below or 1.5k+ against my Isillia
Jace Rogers
Cheetos/Black Ivy/Virgil/Mikeal is really good
Gabriel Rogers
I missed a couple of days. Is everyone elses next box the unqiue stone?
Carter Smith
yes
Jeremiah Bell
she was fine, her skills worked well together, she'd start off doing good % damage and low actual damage then by the 3rd stack they would switch, she's only weak if you built a reflex ravian
Jaxson Long
Do you any of actually have experience with all of these "op strikers" you talk about or are you all just theory crafting?
If so, then you're no better than jkun's retarded ass.
Robert Hernandez
Thanks BABE.
Kayden Flores
>jkun
Nathaniel Williams
I have. And they're shit. William isn't top 3 and hasn't been for a while. You seem clueless about the meta. As expected from a sub 2900 nobody.
Jayden Morris
>btw I use William
Nolan Moore
Nice memes sub 2900 moron
Cooper Roberts
Watch it user, Jkun is going to force you to apologize to him if you imitate him.
Tyler Ramirez
Nice shitpost
Parker Johnson
>people still think we're in feb 2016 clueless morons, check your calendar faggots
Jeremiah Nguyen
Apologize
Camden Scott
>Now he is irrelevent, and you're better off using Miho for her reflex/hp totem. Nice try Elainefag
Nathan Perez
>Because you don't know how to build her.
Do tell, because I've never met a decent Beatrice to try any emulate.
>stones
Green Crit, Dark Crit Damage, SHoT, Blue Rec Pass. This is exactly the setup I was told, both here and elsewhere, was optimal. The only alternative was to use Glab instead of SHoT, and whale for good fucking substats. And post patch Glab is even iffier.
Obviously, new stones are shaking that up a bit but I still haven't gotten any decent ones to drop. I'm still mulling over combining some trash uniques and switching to Dragon's Bone, then replace SHoT with blue rec pass.
>line
I'm all ears. Mind, if you say 'Elaine' I'm going to fucking cut you. She is, quite literally, the only non-legendary Ardor player I don't have.
Grayson Cook
Don't reply to me again sub 2900 turd
Hunter Robinson
>2 crit stones >that were hugely nerfed Just use Elaine
:^)
Luke Gonzalez
>she was fine >The only crit rate bonus passive she has is attached to the skill which causes her to injure & kill herself on the opponent's gk >Her other passive incentivizes reflex, but it's absolutely shit in the current meta where every backline is reflex stacked or CAR stacked >Gravity Down has a diminishing effect on every shoot and over half of all gks will heal over it after the second shot >Btw it procs before heals proc, so they're already recovering a majority of the damage it deals >Her active has a CD which directly contrasts with her shoot-steal design & gravity down's diminishing effect
Yeah, she was totes fine. kill yourself
Bentley Edwards
>>The only crit rate bonus passive she has is attached to the skill which causes her to injure & kill herself on the opponent's gk wrong, that skill can heal her up and do a bit of damage to the GK if you use a dark crit damage stone/ES, it might not work as well against light GKs >>Her other passive incentivizes reflex, but it's absolutely shit in the current meta where every backline is reflex stacked or CAR stacked barely anyone has CAR, reflexes sure, but the AS part of it is great >>Gravity Down has a diminishing effect on every shoot and over half of all gks will heal over it after the second shot >>Her active has a CD which directly contrasts with her shoot-steal design & gravity down's diminishing effect thats why they work well together, the first couple shots you can pull off some damage without relying on her active but after that you need her active to do damage, if her active had no CD it would be completely broken
Justin Sanchez
I'm about to spend the next year of my life building a monodark team. Talk me out of it /ssg/
Michael White
>I'm about to spend the next year of my life Maybe it would be healthier if you didn't play at all
Dominic Turner
I can't
Logan Barnes
You're on a holy mission user
Liam Nelson
Why are goalkeepers so boring in design?
And by that, I mean they're all just statblobs with barely any differences between them. If you ignored elements, they would basically be all the same aside from heals here and there.
Compare it to strikers, who are in a healthy state at the moment. There are different situations where you want to use one or another. For goalkeepers, you pretty much just always want to use STJin/Angela/whatever. Black Tortoise is what other goalkeepers should look like, as she has a cool situational mechanic.
Statcheck players just aren't good design, because if one is too strong, then you get a William situation again.
Robert Martin
Unless you have money to get the three legends, forget about it, user Unless you're crazy enough to do one without all of them or any of them, in that case, my blessings for you on your quest.
Chase Green
Angela is different from most GKs, she's pretty selfish while most aren't
Ethan Cook
Best stones for a Shanti with WoM?
Carter Ramirez
Why not try Dark Penetration? Shouldn't that give you more consistent damage?
Nolan Cooper
Have you ever seen a soccer game in real life?
Bentley James
I completely maxed out (minus the 7 star st) my original team in about a year and I still only have one legendary. Plus around 700 d stones to buy my second. So I figured it'll take me a year or so to get Metatron on this account since I already have Balt. I'm looking through the dark 5 stars and I can already feel the suffering. Everything is just screaming inside me to stop but it's already happening and I can't stop it.
Elijah Rivera
you're still getting the unique tonight. you can actually get everything even if you miss a day
Carson Harris
Then good luck. Which striker by the way?
Josiah Flores
Are the new unique stones only from combining? Or did they put out new rare 4 stars that evolve to them too?
Colton Carter
Ravian cannot heal unless she CRITS. Ravian has LOW STARTING CRIT CHANCE. Her only passive which provides crit is tethered to the skill which causes her to ATTACK THE GK AND INJURE HERSELF. Half the gk lineup consists of those that HEALS FROM BEING ATTACKED. If you invest in her bonus crit passive, then the opponent will benefit from the two opportunities to heal. Her passive GD is worthless because it's effect is dimishing and outhealed from your double attacks. Its effectiveness is even further reduced because her intended design is as a shoot-steal striker while her active is a ramp-up ability with a cooldown.
Her entire kit coalesces badly. Fuck you for making me respond to you.
Gavin Wood
they removed random evolutions to unique, you can only get uniques from combining now
Hudson Nelson
Ravian. A-at least she's not Blade right?
Alexander Murphy
do it billy
Kevin Johnson
Blade is getting a nice buff
Anthony Gray
>still no Choi in scout I just wanna be able to OHKO later floors with Nari as my assist in PvE
Gavin James
Should I use a green receiving pass effect for Silk or a dark one?
Josiah Bennett
What stones for Bora?
Nathaniel Williams
Wat? Why? Did they at least increase the success rate of powering up these pieces of shit?
Wyatt Anderson
I tried that. It just made her feel weak on EVERY shot, not just on the ones that don't crit. She's not Shanti, with some stacking debuff that makes multiple shots actually productive. You can shoot Lucian or Angela all day while they huddle behind their Dairy Queens and get nowhere. And when faced with WW GKs whose Crit Resist can break into the 300s, she just can't reach the levels needed to beat that.
Again, some of the new stones shake that up some. The green penetration stone looks promising and is the primary reason I didn't switch to Dragon's Bone immediately. Can't get one of the fuckers to drop though.
Ultimately, I'm looking at Shanti and Sharr and both of them look a lot more promising in the long run, thanks to the new stones.
Isaiah Phillips
>tfw you come back to the game >just in time for utility waifu buffs
Thanks Fred.
Isaiah Barnes
why were substats nerfed without giving a dstones compensation? even a crystal compensation would be fine, I wouldn't have rerolled some of these stones if I knew they would end up like this
Brody Taylor
I wish.
Ryder Peterson
>Why?
Because some of the stone evolutions just made no goddamn sense. You had stones with one stat evolving into a stone with a completely different stat. Red reflex stones turned into stones that had no reflexes at all. Red defense stones turned into attacker stones. And so on.
>Did they at least increase the success rate of powering up these pieces of shit?
No.
You can, at least, combine unwanted uniques and pick which new unique you get.
Leo Powell
Y-yeah, utility waifu buffs.
;_;
Jacob Edwards
So, having William and Bell as Legendaries, what should I aim to build for my team? I have no fucking clue of the meta right now since I was out for 4 months or so.
Notable 5-stars: Lynia Isilla Yuri Kevin Magnus Anael Vitos Verister Lucid Nerua Angela Isilla
Just want to have an idea. It doesn't have to use any of these 5-stars, I just want a good team that I can build using those 2 legendaries.
Christian Allen
Because ALL of them were nerfed.
People who used them for OP stats STILL have OP stats compared to those who didn't
Ian Diaz
...
Evan Williams
WoM Beatrice is the future, friend.
Noah Jones
I can put WoM on Shanti and save 150 stones, and still have a better striker.
Kayden Parker
To avoid investing time and money into fixing and to make the shop more important. Why do you think?
Lincoln Rogers
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIIT
NIGGA GOT BTFO'D
Elijah Wright
I use Beatrice too, and she is lacking in every way now. I used to switch between dark pen and dark damage, but in the end I decided to use the dark pen that had some good substats.
I am trying to get the new green unique, and use dark pen and 2 blue rec with it. With this setup, critting shouldn't be a problem and make her a 2~3 shoot striker and not 4+ shoot I am needing when facing Lucians and Angelas.
Ethan Scott
So, now that the japanese girls are coming, are any of them useful? I'm looking to get the dark cutie to use her along with Shura. How does that sound?
Jace Bennett
yeah but some of these uniques aren't worth using just for the substats anymore, they're better than other people's stones but its not great anymore
