This is what he should be calling in his favors for, not training sessions with Yuiga.

From last thread. Randomize your stats for your trigger loadout.
https://nomyriad.shinyapps.io/TrionCalculator/

>>280701142
My stats are slightly worse than the last time I did this.
Also why is the graphic flipped now? Attack and Support used to be on the right like the official charts.

>>280701142
And remember to choose your class because stats differ.

I'm realizing that Nino has no side effect despite his Trion, but at the same time I guess Ashihara didn't want to make him busted.

>>280701387
>Attack and defense off the chart
Slow down nigga

>>280701446
Autism is his side effect.

I bet Jin telling Konami about Tachikawa was to influence the future and make that more likely to happen. Because him knowing that prediction seems to have been what made him go for that strategy.
>>280701446
Reiji doesn't have one either despite also having loads of trion. It's like being an attacker or operator is a better predictor of having a side effect than anything to do with your trion.

>>280700807
oops
It's a little off because I do not remember the exact point of each slide

>>280701446
We really don't know much about what affects the chance of getting a side effect to begin with.
But that might change later, as it's implied people with side effects are significantly more capable of creating a black trigger.
So it sounds like something nations like afto would definitely try to take advantage off.

Defensive/Sekuhara Ranged Tank

What's the catch with genn'yo? You'd think a taste of scorpion on a way more durable weapon that can senku would be really popular. But hardly anyone uses it.
And the issue can't be trion consumption because Yosuke uses it.
You think you can mantis with it and a scorpion?

>>280702054
Probably has to do with the fact that it's paired with a very small actual blade. Maybe it tanks the durability, which is why he uses it only on attacks

>>280702054
If you have senku and gen'yo that's your entire main trigger used up which is limiting. I think it's pretty strong though. Getting around shields seems great.

>>280701142
>>280701438
I forgot to do that last time.
My stats are a little different than last thread, but I'm still an attacker and I've still got Nasu as my rival.
I'd go main hand Scorpion, Shield, Raygust + Thruster
Off hand Scorpion, Shield, Grasshopper, Bagworm

>>280702099
There's at least one swordgetsu user who includes it. But I don't think it's ever shown what it looks like when in use.
>>280702128
That was the one drawback I could think of. It wouldn't really work with some setups. But there's enough guys running around with empty slots and normal trion levels that you'd think you'd see a few more toss it on there.

>>280702054
The fact that you can't clip it through your body to pull off the absolute horseshit of Scorpion is probably a downside.

>>280702239
You are murdering Nasu as long as you best her gf first.

>>280702404
I'll become her new gf (male).
I can be a Scorpion artist the same way she's a Viper artist, and we can bond over our attack patterns.

>>280697803
>I can't track him with trion readings
Is this because of all the other stuff going on (I thought they knew where all the traps were) or can Galopoula radars not track people in camouflage?
It's always seemed kind of strange to me that bagworm is an all but explicitly required trigger when neighbor radar technology is probably different from border's so bagworms could be unnecessary or not work at all depending on who they're dealing with.

>>280701991
>Lightning
I'd say get rid of it.
To use it effectively, you're gonna need to use a bagworm to hide where the shot is coming from and that point you're basically a sniper.

Regarding snipers in general, it's worth noting that, barring Chika and Oki (the two highest trion snipers with Oki at 8), every other sniper has at least one free slot.
That might be tied to the fact that just equipping subtriggers eats into your overall trion cost, and snipers will always be spending trion due to bagworm.

>>280700899 (OP)
Are Kuma eyes like this to convey that she has more of a yayoi face?

>>280702628
The idea is to extend the bullying range, and basically do shooter-type things from sniper ranges, so not having bagworm and being a concern tax is actually beneficial towards the strategy.
What would you recommend it be replaced with?

I got sniper but I really don't have the patience for it.

I forgot to ask last time but how are new readers enjoying rank wars?

What's the deal with the cum bullets?

>>280702815
>The idea is to extend the bullying range
The issue I see with that regarding your setup is that at the range of a lightning, it's very easy for enemies to escape because they are far away enough that they can just go behind cover and make it a non-issue.
Which would struggle in a consistent harassment setup.

I would say maybe consider a mobility option (like a grasshopper) to make it harder for people to escape your range and provide yourself more positions to harass from.
Alternatively, if you really want range then maybe having a gunner trigger specialized for long range harassment would be better (something similar to Kitazoe) for consistent harassment.

>>280702628
Oki has two empty slots too. Chika is the only one who uses them all. I think for most of them it's simply because they never plan to drop bagworm unless absolutely forced to in order to double shield. So it would just be wasted trion.

>>280703121
That's what the Asteroid and Hound are, and Thruster on the Raygust is meant to be the mobility option, essentially allowing me to always have a weapon and shield out even while moving around, consistently pressuring them from different ranges and positions while minimizing openings on myself

>>280703044
Hound bukkake
YJK

>>280703044
My guess is variable bullet size. If you look at everyone else, they evenly divide their cubes and the only way they get more than one size is by using two shooter triggers simultaneously. But she's got the small blobs coming out of the big ones and could presumably shoot both.

>>280697489
I can see why the anime failed.
Generic animation style and lack of good soundtrack.
But it was a good scene, not amazing, but well done.

>>280703358
Good coreography, forgot to add.

I thought that operator was 99% women.
Also, bye bye my dreams of double Raygust Thruster build.

>>280694350
Raygust+Thruster+Gasshopper+Skanda.

Overkill?

>>280703515
how does operator rivalry even work

>>280703237
>That's what the Asteroid and Hound are
Asteroid and Hound can't really reach the range to make up for enemies taking cover from lightning , barring maybe a few times we saw a composite shot but your setup has them in the same hand so that's out of the question.
That's why I suggested a gunner trigger because you could reach into that range by sacrificing variability for more efficient bullet construction.

Personally, I'm a bit skeptical how effective thruster might when used mainly for mobility.
We've seen it used for decent lunges but we've not really ever seen it used in quick succession, which makes me suspect there's a cool down to it. That could create issues in using it for vertical mobility.

But more generally, you don't really need to have a weapon and shield out all the time especially in your focus of consistent harassment as you could do a delay shot alongside a normal shot to harass and then use your movement option during the delay shot letting you maintain your offense while you move with a shield ready

Animes are just promotional value, and they need to be grand and spetactular nowadays, with stylized art for better impact.

Take Kimetsu no Yaba do you think it would be 1/10th of how big it is nowadays if not for the outstanding animation in the right scenes?
Toei failed World Trigger.

Why Nasu acts like a yandere girlfriend?
Is she gay?

Seems like a waste, not gonna lie.

>>280704134
Its first season boosted the manga sales despite being Toei shit, second season kept them perfectly stable despite the hiatus.
And WT sold a ton of merch thanks to it.

As long as you can handle harrassment, you will be fine.

>>280704146
Yes.

>>280704134
I still don't see how S2 or S3 failed, it generated tons of traction for the series when it aired because of the very good animation
And S1 while being the usual Toei slop, it still helped getting more readers for the manga, me included.

>>280704193
>trips on a spider
>gets raygust'd

>>280702239
I would swap Raygust for another thing.
Something like double Grasshopper or give up on mobility and fight like Konami (double Meteor).
9 trion and good as an attacker seems perfect for close range meteor bombing.

>>280704179
WT could have amazing stylized animation, especially with all the cubes and lights, but Toei failed to give it one.

>>280701747
Broken attack and defense/support looks like a Kougetsu + Raygust combo like Murakami.

>>280704259
Failed in the sense that WT could/should've been grander for the potential it has.
Where's the games for example?

>>280703678
Hey, if they're taking cover from lightning, that means they're stuck in place for my team's attacker to close in on them. It's about being a constant source of potential damage at any range that you know is there, but can't easily just fire back on, letting me control movement from a distance to make it easier for closer teammates to make the kill

>>280704177
Isn't Sayoko a 7 trion operator? She even has a side effect.

>>280696033
Fujin-chan only manages to get a kill agaisnt shieldless guys.

>>280701142
Interestingly I like Kodera megane solidarity I guess. I wish I could be a trapper, though.

>>280704314
While that is true, that really requires you to position yourself like a sniper to make the most of it.
Meaning finding high vantage points with good oversight.

I guess my main point is that the lightning is asking for different enough demands from your positioning and general play that I'd feel you'd just be better off letting a sniper on your team deal with that.

>>280704312
WT is still regarded as one of the best ongoing shonen manga and has a massive cult following in Japan and decent sales despite being on hiatus for years and having a very inconsistent release schedule.
Simply put, WT is an awesome series for the thinking man, so not that appealing to normalfags, just read the comments of any streaming platform and see for yourself, tons of people complaining that Osamu is not strong and basic shit like that.
Also in the topic of the game, it's just too difficult to adapt the basic mechanics of Trion combat into a playable and fun game, it's just not possible currently. Just think about shields, characters literally spawn then in any position and orientation with varied sizes and numbers, and they have to do it almost instantly to avoid being killed.

>>280703208
Oh, you're right.
Looks like I misremembered his setup.

>>280704261
He is a sniper, Osamu will die before will be destoryed before he knows what is happening.

>>280704509
Turn based x-com like World Trigger game please.

>>280701991
Why would you want a Raygust and a Lightning as a gunner?
Just go with the usual gun in one hand and cube in the other or double gun strat.

>>280704312
The issue is that S1 killed the hype outside of Japan, plus the highbrow approach to storytelling, worldbuiding and characterization shakes off the average ADHD audience that is so common nowadays. And even so, S2 and S3 gave us great quality during fights.

I still think it has had a certain degree of success, given that it keeps selling a ton, to the point that even the latest volumes keep growing in sales despite the plot consisting of spreadsheet/ms teams/work meetings, which shows people care a lot about characters' insights and interactions with each other.
>>280704509
I think an action game would simplify stuff you mentioned, e.g. shields making a wall around you or what Apex does when you get knocked down. So the alternatives are either more strategy-based games: X-COM, Tower Defense, I could even see an RTS-styled game where you build up squads and patrol around border while managing trion, and even have away missions. Another possibility is to wait for VR to get better and maybe use some sort of gauntlets with buttons, idk, to simulate combat.

>>280704958
Or a laser tag game with AR developed by a team who really loves WT.

>>280704509
>just read the comments of any streaming platform and see for yourself, tons of people complaining that Osamu is not strong and basic shit like that.
Osamu filtering normalfags make me laugh every time.
Season 1 of the anime might have inadequate animation but Osamu is definitely the biggest gatekeeper.
And Osamu is actually popular with World Trigger female fans

>>280700899 (OP)
For a no-brainer team thrown away in like 5 minutes they sure know how to fight together and complement each other.

>>280704856
strong shield with a mobility option, and the most gunner-like sniper for extra-long range harassment

>>280705144
Solo rank wars and defense duties helped

>>280705149
Lightning is still slower than a normal gun. It's even slower than pure shooting triggers.
Even your range as a gunner is quite average.
I feel it's better to just go full sniper and have the 3 sniping triggers in one hand and Asteriod, Hound and Meteora on the other hand.

>>280705097
Yeah I don't care if there's another universe where WT became the biggest thing, I am so glad Osamu is the mc. Also the trion system allows for meaningful discussions and not just retarded powerscaling.

>>280705144
Those are the top 4 ranked attackers in Border. I would hope they know how to fight together on the fly.

>>280705208
Scartch that.

>Lightning
>Egret
>Ibis
>Shield
Sub

That's the best with your stats.

>>280705330
Murakami is fully on defense duty so hiis role is quite easy to fulfil.
Miwa just forced Rada to go 1vs1 against him which is the smart thing to do. Miwa, Tachikawa and Konami teamwork is not as good as Ossan and Rada.
Konami and Tachikawa weren't doing combo attacks.

>>280705372
>Miwa
You mean Kazama
Also Tachikawa and Konami did a combo attack hitting the same spot on Vasilissa multiple times before Konami cuts it

>>280705445
Yes, Kazama.
Also, that wasn't a combo attack. It was Konami being too good with her axe.

>>280705445
>Also Tachikawa and Konami did a combo attack hitting the same spot on Vasilissa multiple times before Konami cuts it
This.

They are all skilled fighters with real battle instinct.

>>280705144
They just trust each other's individual skills, Tachikawa and Konami are monsters, Ko only needs to focus on defense with a few attacks here and there to try catch the enemy off-guard and Kazama is dealing with the other guy.

>>280704509
A ttrpg could do it. For a vidya, I think a decent approximation for shields would be that you get some kind of visual indicator that you're being shot at and have to shield within a certain window to block it. Focused shields could have a tighter window. And characters could have attributes where ones with better reaction times/reflexes get the shot at notification earlier and having a bigger window to shield.
Grasshopper bouncing would be more troublesome. And I have no idea how you could do scorpion bullshit. The senku minigame would be fun though.

>>280705144
Just like the snipers all hang out in their training sessions the attackers all seem to hang out and do rank wars together. Basically all the ones at a given skill level are friends.

Can someone PLEASE link the data book you guys talked about? Im still on volume 14

Odd question, but is there anything against using a sniper as a gunner? Normal Trion guns have shit range and do jack against shields, so why not use an Ibis as your primary and win duels at midrange, while still having the option of long-distance fire when needed, or wallbang unsuspecting plebs? It's not like the weight is an issue, and a Scorpion in the offhand would mean you could still fight in melee.
My dream gun would be a sniper that shoots Meteors

>>280701142
Pic related. It says I'm most suited to gunner but my skill goes up as a sniper. I think I also make a good operator apparently. Anyway, rate my setup:

>Grasshopper
Sub:
>Viper (Replace with Hound if I'm not good at it)
>Shield
>Bagworm
>Grasshopper
>>280704687
Closest we got here was the mobile game, but that focused on the characters as opposed to the ability to custom loadouts, which is what we really want.
>>280705527

Really, this guy? This guy is a scrub...

>>280705958
He is a scrub, but he can follow the strategy properly.
Is no easy feat to fool Yuma and grab him.
The strategy was to stop him for at least 2 seconds and Hisato managed to do it.

>>280705924
I think the closest thing right now for you would be an Ibis. Border triggers are very straightforward when it comes to guns vs. snipers, whereas neighbors actually don't categorize them that hard (Chelidon worked as a sniper, gun and shooter hybrid).

>>280705924
People can generally dodge ibis shots if they know they're coming. And the low rate of fire means they can close a lot of distance between shots. It could work for ambushes or if the target was pinned down by someone else. But it wouldn't work too well in shootouts as a gunner's primary weapon.

I realized, all you guys are putting full power and zero endurance in your stats in the trion stats calculator right?
I think that's the reason why I am the only one with operator like stats.
I am underweight and my punches don't pack any power, but good at hand eye coordination, good at hitting the ball, dribbling, kicking with the correct spin, juggling, rock climbing, etc.
I trek the hill near my town once per week and I go on a trekking trip (3 to 7 days of walking in a m ountain) whenever I save money because I am good at endurance.
Hence I put 0 power (full endurance) and 0 arts (full sports, I never did a single art project when I was a student, friends did that for me and in exchange I gave them the answers for tests because I always got full score).
I was also the group leader project, the class representantive and the student council president in high school (not in uni, it was way too political for me, although I lead the team projects).
What I got was that I am a better operator and Osamu like stats.
>>280703515

>>280705924
>but is there anything against using a sniper as a gunner?
I think Kitazoe's grenade launchers is the closest you can get without using a sniper yourself.
You're probably unlikely to kill a sniper, but you can shut them down by destroying their setup.
The only issue would be with Azuma tier snipers that can shoot down bullets but even that is still denying them their kill zone by forcing them to deal with your bombing.

He is a promising young agent that learns quickly and follows orders well. And for a middle B rank that doesn't get much focus helping defeat Enedora and fighting off the Yomi Idra's are pretty respectable accomplishments.

>>280706079
I am >>280704468 and I went 60/40 between power and endurance, just because I do not exercise that much, but I always go with doing more reps over increasing weight or having long walks instead of short sprints.
About leadership, I had a job role where I trained people but I wasn't their manager and whatever I taught them was assigned to me by my manager, not curated by myself, so I didn't max the dial on that one.

Hisato will a top dog in the future, dipping everything into the Hisato stocks

>>280706332
I could see him joining Kazama squad. He has both the right fighting style and temperament for it. And it would be his scolding during the invasion coming full circle.

>>280704687
Yes a game like the simulation we've seen in the away mission test would be the most realistic thing we could expect
>>280704958
Yeah, I was thinking that VR would be the most realistic thing that we can get to actual Trion body based combat, but the technology right now is not at the stage where this could be marketable for a wider audience

>>280705527
That's just too simplistic, and wouldn't work for things that could one hit kill you, like an Ibis shot. Also it would automatically mean than Gunners and shooters are a disadvantage since their shots could be easily blocked, especially if someone is using Viper

Ibis > Raygust Shield > Kogetsu = Raygust Blade > Focused Shield > Scorpion > Egret > Shield = Escudo (?) > Shooter shit > Lightning

>>280707047
My dick > *
They should made it into a trigger

>>280706827
The thing with vidya is something is gonna have to be sacrificed because the interface inherently means that even things like placing a shield will be difficult.
Placing a shield in one direction accurately while being able to attack/look in another direction is something very difficult to do unless you make it a strategy game where you have as much time to execute as you need.

Ironically, I think an action game might be easier if you pick a neighbor trigger and build around that as it gives you a more focused gameplay style with much less variables that all need to work together.
Plus the neighbor triggers strength often allows them to ignore a lot of design issues Border triggers would deal with.

Lamprys is a good example that could work with a bit of resource management on the magnets.
Instead of dealing with placing accurate shields while attacking, you can just do a full-body shield if you have enough magnets near you that will deal with shooter/gunner based things.

But that all comes at the cost of losing a lot of potential creativity with all the border triggers.
Though to some extent, you could make up for it with creative applications of the magnetic properties of Lamprys.

>>280706827
>like an Ibis shot
It took Ninomiya two focused shield to block an ibis. For balance reasons you'd probably want player characters to have average trion. So you'd just have to dodge ibis shots or maybe use a fixed shield.
>Gunners and shooters are a disadvantage since their shots could be easily blocked
That's the case in the manga too. Arashiyama outright says that shield have gotten so good that gunners and shooters are more of support positions.
>Viper
This is up there with scorpion for difficulty of implementation. I guess technically only Nasu and Izumi can program them on the fly. So you could make players set some patterns in a training setting or something to then have essentially hotkeyed for later.
As for how they'd interact with shields; I think you could build off of those different shield settings. In addition to having different "parry windows" the different types of shields would have varying durability and coverage. If you wanted to get really fancy it might be possible to work out some way to "aim" shields in certain directions. I still think something similar to a parry mechanic would be good to deal with sniper shots. But for stuff like Yuba's charge against Ninomiya, being able to angle your shield up or to the side or what have you could be neat.

>>280707047
I think
>Escudo > Shields
A single escudo can take a fair amount of sustained fire or decently strong shots without showing notable damage.
I'd say escudo is about as strong as a few shields combined in terms of hardness.

>>280705719
That might be true for the boys but it doesn't seems like Konami hangs out that much in HQ

>>280707327
That's true. None of the T-1 members spend much time at HQ anymore. But she used to. Enough to still be the number 3 attacker despite not competing for a while. So she might not be too familiar with Ko's fighting style, but she would be with Tachikawa and Kazama.

>>280707444
Also, they didn't need to coordinate too much with Kazma, he did the smart thing of taking Rada out of the fight with him.
Gatlin and Rada are clearly a team used to fight together while the 4 of them are a hastily made team.
When fighting against a superior team, you have to destroy the weak link or separate them.

For that one anon asking earlier.

>>280705144
Excluding Ko, they known each other for at least 5-8 years.

>>280705144
They aren't syncing that much, only Tachikawa and Konami. Ko is reacting and Kazama is against the other guy.

>>280707628
That explains those fanarts.

>>280707476
My feeling is that Ashihara was showing us that cramming together the very best in Border does not translate to synergystic or even good outcomes, especially because that's also happening right now with the Away teams. Tachikawa, Konami and Murakami do not work very well together and overlap their functions. I guess they could theoretically if they are given some prep time, but since this invasion was rushed and basically more of a counter-spy/counter-sabotaging operation, these top three attackers had to strategize on the go.

IMO, Tachikawa and Konami are very similar, even if their triggers are different. Basically they are hyperagressive powerhouses that just slash their way through opponents. Murakami is much more versatile and he fits this tank/support hybrid that dishes out damage when opponents attack and create openings for him.

Kazama did very well because he himself has a similar profile to Rata, i.e. like those elite agents in movies that are proficient using CQC and taking out individual opponents with brief but efficient attacks.

>>280707687
Old border must be fun.

>>280707711
Konami was also a double kougetsu user when sougetsu wasn't created.
I bet that Tachikawa and Konami's fighting styles are similar too so they know how to fight together without bothering the other.
Kazama squad shows how real teamwork works with their battle against Enedora. I believe that Kazama was the one who understood the most how dangerous it would have been if they let Rada and Gatlin fighting together.

I can't find that one comic where Amo sees T2 colors.

>>280707687
Yep

>>280707815
Amazing, A ranks are something else. Suwa already bailed out.

>>280707892
Despite a 5 year hiatus. WT is crazy popular in Japan. Never took off here, only people with taste can appreciate it.

>>280707904
I bet that it's because WT manages to attract Strategy fans, fujos, yumes, harem, yuri, real autists and game fans.

>>280707904
I'm completely okay with that

>>280707904

>>280707800
Yeah, it just feeds my battle 'tism the way Ashihara explores his characters through combat. I loved how he showed Tachikawa and Konami properly setting distances between them to not hurt each other while delivering a synchronized beatdown on Gattlin. They knew they couldn't allow him to breathe for a second, so they started harassing him nonstop with their blades + Konami's Meteor and Tachikawa's Senku.

Kazama knew he had to counter Rata and prevent him to link up with Gattlin, and he was the best because they both are highly mobile soldiers.

Murakami knew he had to tank hits and be on the background supporting, and it was reinforced when he lost the arm, that's when he decided to stand his guard and protect the ship.

>>280708252
Even alone Gatlin was a real menace, according to Amo he's on Shinoda's level or close to it, it even rang Jin's warning bell of a possible grim future and had to tell Konami to go help him.

>>280708137
They also hate Osamu's shamelessness. Normally, those kinds of MC are reserved for the scummy, evil or lazy ones, but Osamu is honest, good and a hardworker, but he chooses to do the most shemless acts all the time like trying to recruit Jin.

>>280707904
>crazy popular in Japan. Never took off here
This is the best possible situation.

I wonder which other series has a good teamwork battle like WT.
In WT, even shitters are useful with proper teamwork. The top tier talents can be reached with enough hardwork and the gap can be filled with proper strategy and teamwork.
Sudden asspull powerup doesn't exist and the opponents are equally matched.
The closest one I can think are the VR games series like Shanfro or Destiny Unchain Online (more the latter, because Shanfro makes the protagonist a bit too strong), but none of them have real antagonists

>>280703044
Modified A-rank trigger, or another prototype?

>>280708439
Okay spoilers for obvious reasons: I cannot wait for Galo to appear once the Away team starts fighting their way through the neighborhood. It's gonna be funny to see Meeden growing in alliances and challenging Afto as the top dog.

>>280708877
Customized Hound trigger.

>>280708928
I feel that Afto won't be the final boss. It's going to be one of those errant nations.

>>280708877
Custom hound to make it look like cum instead of Suwas.

>>280705895
Yoneya uses Genyo and he used Senku in his battle against the Slime.
>>280695814.

>>280708877
Variants of standard triggers like Kitora's gun and Miwa's lead bullet magazines seem to be A rank customizations. We know those two are and Yosuke's spear kogetsu is left ambiguous. And Kako included A rank modifications in her pitch to Yuma. So I'd lean towards them being an A rank mod.

>>280708830
Ragna Crimson has great large-scale battles.

>>280709007
That mercenary that almost killed Yuma has to show up again eventually and I don't think he has anything to do with Aftokrator.

>>280709007
You've got me curious, please elaborate. I have some thoughts on that but I'd rather see why you think that, anon

>>280708928
I have a feeling that Kido's plan to stop the Neighbors from invading Meeden wasn't TND. It's too simple and might be easier since you only had to take all the Mother Triggers, but many people would have died.
Rather, he probably wants to stop the wars from happening in the Neighborhood somehow. He could either become a real BORDER or compromise and make the war happen somewhere other than Meeden.
Both options would require WORLD TRIGGER.
>>280709007
Errant nation will not be the final boss, but probably will be the one that will kill Jin.

>>280708928
Osamu freeing Galopula through a independence war sounds fun

>>280709123
>now give me a slime trigger

>>280709073
Afto didn't seem to be the nation that invaded Mikado City years ago. It's also doesn't seem to be the nation that invaded one of Border's ally which ended up with many of old Border members dying in a desperate defense (and Mogami creating the slutty Fujin-chan). We also have to tackle the mercenary who almost killed Yuma plotline.
Yugo was travelling and mapping the Neighbourhood and I infer that it was because he was looking for the culprit. Since he didn't find it, then my hypothesis is that the nation who destroyed Yotaro's hometown is an errant nation.
Also, an unkown powerful mercenary also fits with an errant nation that sells its services whenever it goes near another nation.

>>280709052
What I am looking for are not large scale battles, but one where strategy and tactics works without relying on overpowered bullshit.
Ragna Crimson is close, but people like Ragna and the Rainbow Saint are a bit too strong to make the battle feel equal and at the end the solution comes from Crimson's asspulls.

>>280709187
Kingdom, then.
There's also something else, but I can't remember the title.

>>280709203
Kingdom is great.
I forgot to keep reading after some shit happened. I planned to read it again if someone starts a storytime.

>>280709203
Kingdom is literally just muh general slaughtering millions then decapitating other generals with guts and brutality and weight of nation

>>280701142
I like shooter more, but if I'm more suited as a gunner, then give me a submachine gun and a raygust. I'll larp as a SWAT member.
>Narasaka
Didn't leave much impression on me from his appearances so far and why the fuck is my rival a sniper?

>>280709389
Toru doesn't have too much screen time, but remember that his aim is almost as good as Touma, he gets 1st place in all the training exercises (because Touma fools around) and in the hide and seek training, he was only killed by Touma and it wasn't a headshot like the rest of Touma's victims (who are all his friends. This madlad made sure to only hunt his friends, never hitting someone else by mistake, never getting killed and almost got a 100% headshot rate).
He is your second worst enemy, the worst being Touma.

>>280709500
Yeah, now that you mention it. He's overshadowed by Touma in my head. Can't beat that pompadour.

>>280709500
Narasaka is also one of only two super long range snipers, the other being Hanzaki. So that's something he even has over Toma.

>>280709116
I feel like Meeden will end the wars because we never run out of Trion so there's the chance that neighbors in the future will be offered some place like random islands or forest in the middle of nowhere on our planet.

Now that you mention it, I don't see Jin dying, but other agents might. I cannot explain it, but to me either Taichi or Kuruma might die.


>>280709154
True, and my theory is very similar to yours, I also feel like we are going to see a nation that has specialized in medical trion, and that's how we save Yuma.

>>280703515
I figured out my trigger loadout.
Despite my good aim at everything done with my body, my aim with guns is beyond shitty so I obviously can't be a sniper nor a gunner despite what my affinity says.
With that said, I think I have to use a variation of Osamu's set.
My special tactics, range and skill is the same as that shitter so I probably can't do any composite nor fancy vipers.
My attack and defense/support is marginally better than Osamu. My command is good so a midrange shooter captain is probably my role.
Taking advantage of a high trion, I can probably do more things though.
Main:
>Raygust.
>Thruster.
>Shield.
Sub:
>Asteroid.
>Meteor.
>Shield.
>Bagworm.
An alternative would be to ditch the Raygust. 7 trion means that I can have a proper shield without relying on Raygust.
Main:
>Asteroid.
>Hound.
>Spider
>Shield.
Sub:
>Astroid.
>Meteora.
>Shield.
>Bagworm.
Making meteora spider traps or taking my sweet time to make a Salamander. I won't be able to make Gimlet because that one is meant to be used in close range instead of a volley.

>>280709133
Kek. I really hope the gets it. That trigger can be of use to a trionlet like him.

>>280710284
Giving the guy who is a harrasser certified by Tachikawa a slime trigger?

>>280710284
>>280710333
Osamu becoming Border's MacGyver sounds in equal parts funny and amazing.

>>280705263
Honestly anons should be careful for wanting a "better" universe for World Trigger. As is, despite spending years on the Excel Saga, after years of hiatus due to author health issues, which in turn turned it into a slightly more than monthly series, WT actually gained in sales for a bit.

That we're still getting it steadily now, even after everything going against it, is frankly nothing more than a miracle. All those prayers must have done something.

It's time for the ultimate swordsman skill I learned from my vidya. Pulling out a gun. Gonna load the thing with the trion equivalent to .500 S&W Magnum. I want something that'll smash through a shield.
>>280710637
I'm fine with the releases being what they are. Waiting makes it more exciting.

>>280711125
Put a bagworm.
Good for going undetected on radar, good to fuck with operators, good to cover your own wounds, good to hide a shield (remember that you can have Kogetsu summoned, but deactivated).

>>280711186
Very true. Bagworm means you can do the funny trick of toggling it to mess with people.

>>280712944
What's your side effect, anon?

>Osamu shouldn't have tried to recruit Jin!
Border decided to drop two top A-rank teams into the B-rank wars, and allows A-rank units to smurf with new teams. Osamu was responding to bullshit with bullshit.

At least with Ninomiya squad you can argue they need to prove they're A-rank without a sniper, but demoting Kageura squad is just punishing everyone for Kageura's actions.

>>280713603
To be fair, if you can survive the bullshit called Nino and Kage squad to reach the top 2 then the higher up won’t have any excuse to stand in your way to A rank

>>280713603
Azuma being a b-ranker is worse than Nino & Kage combined

>>280713984
At least his teammates are two rookie kids and Azuma lets them play captain when it comes to planning.

>>280713541
I can see trion itself, including bodies and things created with trion like spider wires, regardless of stealth. Downsides: dummy beacon can fuck me up.

>>280713603
>Osamu was responding to bullshit with bullshit.
This.

>>280714129
>I can see trion itself, including bodies and things created with trion like spider wires, regardless of stealth. Downsides: dummy beacon can fuck me up.
How is it works theoretical trion fake tits?

>>280714241
well the whole body is trion, so like everyone else I'll have to rely on my visual comparison between the trion body shape and normal body shape to notice...

I guess I'm a Shooter. Also somehow despite the three percents less in Shooter and Gunner, I had more total in Shooter instead of Gunner.

>>280714454
oh wait here's my loadout
Main
>Hound
>Meteor
>Shield
>Spider
Sub
>Shield
>Bagworm
>Viper
>Grasshoper

>>280714564
No Asteroid?
Viper with a mere 7 in skill?

>>280707077
what can you do with 5cm blade

>>280705144
Helps that the only non standard trigger in the mix is Sogetsu.

>>280709059
Since he's mercenary and afto is in crisis, odds are that one of the afto's houses will hire him.

>>280707047
Raygust blade has worse durability than kogetsu and Taichi blocks an ibis shot with escudo.

>>280715019
And Sougetsu is a shorter but stronger Kougetsu.

>>280714593
>No Asteroid?
I thought I could just turn the tracking from Hound off just like Osamu
>Viper with a mere 7 in skill?
I never said I'd be a good shooter since you know, my rival is Osamu of all people. My tactic is to mix Hound and Viper to confuse my target.

>>280715125
Tracking Hound off is just making a shitty Asteroid.

>>280714564
I'd say swap Viper's position with Meteor.
You get access to more useful composites that way.
We haven't seen Viper + Hound but I don't see why that combination would be particularly interesting.

>>280715272
Is there even a point? At most you make a hound you can kind of control in case you perceive it's going to miss.

>>280715333
And you have to do it beforehand because a Viper path can only be set before firing.
That's the reason why Nasu is scary, she makes the trayectories and even predicts her prey's escape route or leads them to specific patterns.

>>280715385
They should SERIOUSLY make bullets you can redirect after they are fired. Don't ask me how.
Also allow you to set up sniper rifles and remote fire them.

>>280715041
Escudo is just plain inconsistent. Sometimes it can take a beating and sometimes it can't (it can stop an ibis but then Yuba's pistols break a bunch no problem). People theorize that it's about creation time or how big it is, but we don't really know. We also don't know if the inconsistencies are legitimate mistakes or some rules about creating an escudo we may never get the answer to.

>>280713603
Imagine the chaos after old Azuma squad disbanded. Miwa, Ninomiya, Kako and Katagiri(?) all unleashed on the B ranks at the same time.

>>280715442
From what we know, Yuba configured his asteroids to be very powerful in exchange of range, so it may be stronger than an Ibis.

>>280715333
The only real use I can see is minor performance optimizations on hound, like making it split up before tracking to attack from multiple directions.
But at that point, you're probably better off with either a Cobra, as the Hound + VIper would either hit (and be no better than just viper with more power) or begin tracking and slowly bunch the bullets up like a regular hound

I have no trion

>>280715464
They probably all ascended in a couple years.
And Azuma may have waited it out until they all formed proper teams.

>>280715409
I'm pretty sure you can redirect viper mid-flight. I don't think it's ever stated that it has to be pre-programmed, it's just that most are too dumb to do it on the fly.

>>280715558
It waas stated a lot of chapters ago.
This is the reason why almost nobody can use Viper like Nasu and Izumi and just opt to use a few presets with a gun trigger.

>>280714036
doesn't change the fact that he is S-rank sniper. Even fucking Nino is forced into full blown paranoia every time that fucker is on the map, hell even Kage has to be somewhat worried as Azuma doesn't have any emotions behind his shots.

>>280715125
Asteroid & Hound have wildly different bullet properties, hound is much shitter bullet.

>>280715477
It's not only range he sacrificed he made his gunner trigger also have a 'lower' fire rate, which going by how that panel showed 6 bullets on his gun, I assume actually meant that he has to reload in some manner.
Rather than having as much ammo in the gun as their trion allows

>>280715477
Yuba's bullets are blocked by people's shields multiple times and ibis is only ever blocked by two focused shields, at the same time, from Ninomiya and Hyuse who are both trion monsters.

>>280715647
Ninomiya just wanted to play with snow and recreate his squad with mini snowmen.

>>280715647
Azuma IS a nice sport in b ranks.
He doesn't devise strategies or make the calls and mostly covers his teammates.
It's not like nino assraping the competition hard because he wants to be back in a rank and uncuck himself.

>>280715610
I believe this is the only description we ever get of viper and there's nothing about not changing the trajectory after firing.

>>280715669
The lower fire rate is a mistranslation, he only lowered magazine size and range.

>>280715713
Here.

>>280715712
>Azuma IS a nice sport in b ranks.
yeah, sure. I guess not genociding the entire map counts as playing nice.

>>280715647
Can you imagine if Azuma actually tried in B rank wars? It'd be the biggest fucking carry ever seen.
Like, he could just tell his squad to act as bait as he just murders everyone, and it'd work.

>>280701142
all skill baby
though against Rei my shit mobility probably fucks me with all the shit she throws out

>>280715442
The ones that Yuba broke were small. Escudo users can alter its size

>>280715788
Oh come on, poor guy was just bored.
And yes, not murdering everyone counts as playing nice.
I feel he could have taken on Nino and kage if he actually felt like it, but he'd need to come up with some fun tactics instead.
Or start headshooting nino's snowmen, that'd be fun.

>>280715792
Yeah I actually can, like 1 to 2 minute long matches, maybe less if he gets a good spawn. Mass chameleon + dummy beacon meta or you die 1 to 10 seconds after spawn

>>280715803
Just be Azuma.
If you ignore your int stats, your stats are similar with him, only losing 1 in range.
Let someone else be the captain and tactician and just do bullshit like sniping three Meteors midair and wall snipes.

>>280715840
At least azuma bothers acting like a responsible adult.
It's amazing how far his two kids have gone without optional triggers too, they are a menace together.

>>280715840
I wonder if he can actually fight close quarters if he adds some triggers to his setup.
I imagine he's stupidly good as a gunner/shooter too.

>>280715828
>headshooting nino's snowmen
too far

>>280715964
Perfect to get the overemotional bitch in action.
Basically
>get close to kage
>snipe nino
>from there
>they just kill each other because they are stupid hotheads

>>280715934
he can do 360 no scope unironically so gunner triggers are just a waste of a slot, if someone is close to Azuma... they are close to Azuma and can't get shield up in time.

>>280715712
>It's not like nino assraping the competition hard because he wants to be back in a rank and uncuck himself.
get me every time how his reason for wanting to go on the away mission is to directly hear from Hatohara why she left him

>>280716063
WE HAD A THING YOU KNOW
I WAS COLD AND DISTANT BUT SECRETLY NICE AND YOU WERE HOMELY AND MEEK
I READ SHOUJO MANGA I KNOW HOW THIS WORKS
It's one hell of a motivation.

>>280716052
Proper attackers can get close to snipers using cover and being fast.
Azuma is very good at hiding though.

>>280716133
Yuma, Kage, well pissed off Katori and that is about it for b-ranks. No other attacker in this tier has a chance in hell to actually bumrush Azuma, they are too slow to deal with a guy who shoots down bullets.

>>280716210
Katori is so easy to deal with if you start bullying her because she's a tard.
Kage relies too much on his side effect.
Yuma can probably stand against Azuma pretty well.

>>280716082
I still love that page in which Chika is lowkey telling him that her brother cucked him.

>>280716250
It only gets funnier when we see Nino flashback when he talks to Ema. He even talked back to the higher up just for her and then she just left

>>280716239
Azuma can actually shot at Kage without activating his side effect, but I believe that he can evade Azuma with his skills alone as long as there are enough cover.
Kage is still better than Yuma despite his side effect not working on him.

>>280716286
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>women

>>280716239
I'm not saying its guaranteed, in fact Azuma is favored to nail their empty attacker heads, but these three are by far the fastest attackers in B-rank with best reflexes and approach strategies. Yuma is a living bullet, Kage has max dodge and Katori's second name is "rush-down" even if a lot of stars need to align for her combat mode to trigger. And when even these three only barely pass the "maybe they can do it if they have good cover" you know its fucking doomed for all other attackers.
I'd say that out of all b-ranks attackers Ikoma actually has the best chance of killing Azuma, though it would most likely be by accident.

>>280716286
>>280716335
all he needed to do to keep his butterface onahole was to be abusive. she left because he was too kind and it was making her uncomfortable.

>>280715828
He couldn't do that.
Ninomiya and Kageura were usingn bagworm to hide.

>>280716250
>yeah that sounds like my brother
>he is like that
it was hilarious

>>280715772
This means that Nasu can preprogram the path and then fire with more variety than the rest.

>>280718010
Nasu redirects viper shots that miss Kuruma to hit osamu

>>280718180
She fired them that way from the beginning, she's just good at anticipating the movements of her enemies.

>>280718180
No, nasu predicted that osamo would run straight at her to kill steal, and preprogramed some shots to deliberatly miss kuruma and head towards the path between her and osamu.

Wait, if Azuma always ends up training monsters for Border, does this mean that Okudera and Koarai are gonna fuck everyone's shit up in the future?

>>280718010
It means that Nasu creates the path each time she creates Vipers unlike the others who use a preprogrammed Viper.

>>280718248
>>280718232
Apparently I'm a speedreader, who knew
So House predicts where Minamisawa attacks from?

>>280718337
Yes, despite all the emotional tantrums he throws like a pampered boy (and he is because is nobility), Hyuse is a decent combatant and can think a few steps ahead. He knew Minamisawa is a fightfag who cannot hold himself back.

>>280718278
yeah, they'll be very strong. Kazama comments that their teamwork is on par with his squad.

>>280718180
No, what happened was Nasu charted a trajectory towards the place where Kurama was supposed to be, and IF those shots still existed after reaching this point - Kurama already dead or moved - then then would continue flying, turn backwards and return to target the area where she predicted Osamu would show up.
