Acacia Sgt Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Got reminded. My "Make your own Emblem" thread is one day from falling into the necro-zone. I've been wanting to make and share another build before that happened, this time using Caeda, but I have a hard time thinking up a good skill-set for her admittedly. I suppose I could put up a WIP post and then edit it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanctions are not an instantaneous thing, or even something that works as fast as "one year". They have put the hurt on Russia. Early in the year it was stated how their deficit grew, as they're eating through their money reserves (of what remains that hasn't been frozen or seized). There's only so much they can prop up to make it seem that everything's fine when... it's not. Even if sanctions were to be lifted, things there will still become worse before they can actually get better... if they do. China knows this, hence why they're now swooping in to position themselves as the bigger "partner", as it's more that it will prop up Russia enough to try to keep the West distracted. Who knows, perhaps a couple years down the road we see China make some border adjustments... They do have something of a beef with Russia regarding the land they lost to them... Recently China has released official maps where those places use their historical Chinese names, instead of the Russian ones. Make of that as you will...

This game unironically will probably teach Americans how to do their taxes more than schools ever did. Business doesn't fit into the old core curricula model of math-science-English-history/social studies-second language + art/music & gym. The theoretical study of economics has been around since the 1700s, but that has nothing to do with personal finances.😐 And a 1700s arrival is far too late for economics to have the majestic air of the subjects that go back to the Middle Ages. Finances and business are thusly relegated to an elective side in high school. Supposedly, reading comment sections elsewhere on the Internet, having to do one's income taxes is a rather American thing. The gist of it seems to be that elsewhere, the gov't calculates your income tax for you (unless you're rich with real complicated finances), and you are free to do your own math and challenge that calculation if you really want to. Why the USA has everyone file their own taxes and not do the same as elsewhere? The tax-helper industry is established in the USA, and will do everything to lobby for the continuation of its existence. -Again, supposedly. But, if true, then we are being intentionally left in the financial darkness so that we are forced every year to shell out 💵 for assistance from the big businesses who are in fact responsible for this tedium in the first place.

Go drink your growth milk, little fella. 7 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Eh. On Maddening i have been making use of them more and more because they allow me to hit certain treshholds. Yeah they aren't like Fates, but they are not that bad. Alear & Spoiler-chan need no words. They were some of the best personal skills in Fates, and the same here as well Framme's 10 avo to Alear and with supports are not to be understimated Clanne...10 hit are good early game, and later on against fast dudes Yeah Vander's sucks. Wth 5 crit lol Alfred's works well with an enempy phase build, and he is quite tanky to begin with ...but sucks otherwise Boucheron well with Chain attacks Etie's ...yeah it's bad lol. Celine's makes Vuln's great and even better than staves in some cases. Early on quite useful, later on does taper off however Chloe's with the right positioning is +2 damage. She's fast so usually +4. +8 with Braves Louis...well, he usually doesn't need the 2 extra def lol. Yunaka's is hella good. She's a Covert unit, so she now benefits doubly from terrain, with +60 avo and +15 crit. I am sure you can do some crit builds with the 1 range knifes. Alcryst is free +3 STR with the right positioning. Citrinne's is Aoe heal Lapis Hit/Avo +10 works really well with supports. No crits is sadge tho Diamant is a Berwick Saga player. Amber's +20 Hit is pretty damn useful, but also positioning dependant. I use this alot against swordmasters and the like with their freaking 60-70 avo. It's kinda but that it can't be combined with support bonuses tho Jade...eh. Dunno how good her Res growths are for that to actually take effect well Ivy's is stuational, and helps against evasive bosses since you aren't One rounding them anyway Kagetsu is free -10 avo on enemy Zelkov is -10 hit on enemy...that basically means +10 avo on enemy phase. Combined with a covert unit. That's really good. Fogado's...useless Pandreo is really really good. And combine with support bonuses and you get something like +30 hit/avo with the right positioning. Bunet's...lol Timerra's is minor, but with how Steel Swords have +5 crit for some fucking reason, i wouldn't disqualify it. Panette...Crit 100 Merrin's is a minor Hit/Avo boost with the right positioning. Always appreciated Hortensia's is OP Seadall's is the same dancer skill we are used to Rosado's and Goldmary's basically give male enemies the middle finger. It makes Axes semi reliable on Rosado as -20 avo ain't a joke, and Goldmary's can be combined well with an evasive build i bet. Lindon...Crit 100 Saphir...I feel like should work well with a Vantage/Evasion build. Hit/Avo +20 when under 50% HP screams Vantage to me. Spoiler Knight...helps with his tankiness, although i think with how late he comes he should get more than +2 Def. Anna is for memey fun Although she's been giving me lotsa money lately Jean is classic Expertise. The problem with a lot of these is that, yeah they're nice, but in the grand scheme of things, they are so minor it's not really worth paying attention to them most of the time. And of course, then you have crap like Bunet having a low chance to clone leftover food, which is just... Eugh. Still, there are a few that are pretty nice, that is true. I mean I should know, how many times did I shill Lindon's personal? I just wish it were less lopsided. Seriously, Vandad's personal makes me wanna cry. ...also lol Diamant a Berwick player? He gives both combatants more hit! 4 hours ago, joevar said: i shudder to imagine what will they come up with next. and still lamenting they didnt give me milf to romance They did give you milf thoe 4 hours ago, joevar said: whats that about Fates capture? is it anywhere near like Berwick capture? Not even close. Fates capture lets you take enemies hostage... and then put them in your team as playable characters Most random feature ever, but I absolutely love it and it's a tragedy it hasn't come back and probably will never.

Ehh to be honest, I prefer having more reliability with my hits than with my dodges. Especially in Diamant's case. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's kind of a tank, isn't it?

Spoiler I like how the AU Hounds didn't get different designs at all. They were just slightly recolored lol. Still, probably the best outcome for everyone who wanted playable Hounds. ...y'know, except for the part where they introduce Gregory by having him say "DON'T HURT ME" and Madeline "I was never snot nosed!" Instead of funnily lame, they're just going to be lame here, aren't they... I am rather surprised you use the regular team in these maps. Guess that's going to be even more maps of no Lindon or Saphir availability. Awesome. ...Well, now all that's left is to hope that one of them gets Fates Capture as their personal. -57% chance, but I will not stop believing. I will take the extra maps of no Lindon and Saphir if I can get Mitan to compensate. 5 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: I hate it.
