holy....

>>532448853
its literally all just the bleed team, my jasmine isn't even maxed she's level 73 ecb 1

>>532432525
they get paid by character, I would assume
Don't you keep in mind how different written languages work?

WHAT EBIN MEME MODE IS THIS

Brand new player here, what do I try to arrest?
I assume 20 in sin & conviction for guaranteed S and then 10 in secret abyss for discount and rate up something other than nox who I seem to be able to get for free?

>>532455501
1. The beginner banner is fine to roll to get your guarantee S-rank then stop. But it wont go away so you dont technically have to roll it now.

2. I dont think you should roll Collective. You can get a Nox for free for doing your newbie missions (will take you around 7+ days as it's gated unless they changed it) and the other sinners are all standard banner characters so you can lose 50/50 to them

3. If you want, you can try to roll the new event banners (Jasmine and Parfait). They both slot into more "modern" teams but you wont have all the members for a while since you're new.

zzzmmm

They're adding some weird stuff this patch. Like chief being in the upper right corner facing down.....................yet sinners still face right.

are Jasmine and Count Chelsea related?

good night little chiefs in my phone

So, is Hella any good now, after the buffs?

>>532456724
>Jasmine and Parfait). They both slot into more "modern" teams but you wont have all the members for a while since you're new.
So if I understand correctly they need other components to be useful?

>>532494114
Si.

>>532494114
Jasmine is part of the "bleed" (or also called "life loss") team which at the very least also requires Dreya (and fully consists of Dreya, Levy, Sumire and Pepper). Parfait supports core breaking Umbras, so you would want to use her with sinners like Bai Yi, 000, Graves, Angell, Mantis or Adela to name a few.

>>532483202
Oh yeah?

I spent all my ascension stuff on Nox...
worth it

>>532467919
Anyone who reads story know about this? seems very intentional unless dev d ucked up.

tis merely an acknowledgement of the perfection that is chelsea

>>532495610
Not bai?

>>532500482
I never really used Bai

DdddDdddDdd

this looks like those old memes people would make to make fun of games with overflooded uis. who thought it would be pleasant to look at in any way? it did make me crack up because of how absurdly crowded everything is, admittedly

>>532506736
isn't it a reference to how comments work in nico nico douga, which got copied by bilibili? i've seen the text vomit referenced in some other media

>>532506996
nah, that part i'm familiar with, it's just the sheer amount of text and how much thalia spoke in a single text window that makes it funny

>>532507119
oh true that textbox is taking up half the vertical space

Long meetings…

>>532510350
busy day

>>532494869
>>532494516
so basically save my pulls until next banner? Or do I just roll the standard banner to get more units since I'll need more anyway
I did two ten pulls on the collection (one was discounted and one was from a free 10 roll coupon specific for that banner) and the two on beginner banner so I have at least a few units.

I got the Hamel guaranteed S rank, Levy, Roulecca and Thalia for A ranks and a ton of B ranks including four additional copies of EMP (would that make her usable long term or are B units simply too bad?)

>>532470953

>>532512435
Congrats on getting Hamel, she's going to be very useful.
I wouldn't recommend rolling the standard banner, even if you want more units. Generally I'd say there's two good approaches: save your cubes until an event banner comes up that has a unit you want, then roll for it. Or save your cubes until anniversary/half-anniversary, which always have banners for limited sinners that you can't get outside these special events, and then roll like crazy. The reason being that while rolling on those event or limited banners, you are still going to get the sinners that are on the standard banner as a by-product.
If you wanna roll right now to get more units I'd roll on one of the two ongoing event banners. Since you already have Levy you could go for Jasmine since at some point you are going to end up with a Dreya and bleed is a pretty nice team. Otoh Parfait might be a bit more flexible since she doesn't require super specific team mates to work.
As far as B-ranks goes, no they aren't bad in general. Labyrinth and Che are definitely worth raising even when thinking long term, as is Pepper if you're going for the bleed team. Short term EMP is okay as she's not terrible but she's not going to be able to compete with the better recticle sinners around when you get into endgame stuff. But the good thing about B-ranks is they are very cheap to raise and as far as the content goes that you are going to face now levels will easily trump specific skill sets, so you aren't wasting much if you raise her.
An important thing to note for this game is that duplicates for sinners aren't as important as they are in some other games. There's a lot of sinners that are going to perform very well at 0 shackles (0 duplicates) as long as you raise the character level and skill levels, so you really don't have to limit yourself too much in your choices by who you got shackles for.

>>532512435
the banners coming up within the next month or two don't really have any carries, just meta supports. so if you wanna, you can try going for Jasmine and spend the guaranteed ticket on Dreya since you got Levy for the "life loss" team.

as for B ranks, Labyrinth is actually really useful in late game. Che is good too but his utility's been powercrept but he's cheap to raise and in the early game, S-ranks are just really expensive and take a long time to build.

>>532514820
>>532514668
>labyrinth is good
fuck, I hate her design so much I'm inclined to avoid using her

I guess I'll pull Jasmine banner and hope for the best
As for shackles, is there a reason not to shackle? I used them all up, assuming there wouldn't be a worthwhile alternative (I think some do but for the vast majority it's not worth doing any possible conversions or whatever)

>>532516543
If you have a mark (the thing you get for a duplicate, that you can then use to shackle) for a specific sinner there is no reason not to use it to add that shackle. There exists an alternative to using sinner specific marks in the form of general sinner marks (which come in b, a and s rank) but these are the ones you want to hold onto, especially s-rank, since there's relatively few sources and you can use them on anyone, so you wanna be sure about who you feed them to.

>>532516543
>reason not to shackle
not really. there's not really anything you can do with unused shackles. excess shackles for characters already at max dupes can be redeemed for gold tickets at the rotating monthly shop but that's kinda it.
don't think there's any shackles in the game that make a unit worse at something either.

hmm

>>532516543
She’s especially good for newer players
More characters will eventually power creep her or do enough damage that the resets aren’t as needed

Bai isn’t good with Graves?

>>532526804
I just wanted to post Wolverine but the new reforge stuff might mean Bai's good in umbra team

>>532512435
You are giving a change to a gacha that came after Genshin's success with the masses. In other words there is no hard content anywhere and you can complete the story with level 50 Sinners without any upgrades.

>>532536107
damn
I liked arknights because the better you played the less you had to grind and the later stages were pretty fucking hard close to launch if you were f2p

>>532536794
Modern arknights is the same in case you haven't been keeping up with the shit they release in China. But Path of Nowhere is interesting because it somehow manage the strangest fusion for a target audience.

>>532536978
I might have just hallucinated this but I feel like I came back after several years to arknights and without changing my team, stages that were very hard to impossible were now easy
MMOs have the same issue where they trivialize earlier content so the first few dozen hours are a complete snoozefest with nothing remotely challenging

I'm surprised this gacha is as old as it is, I feel like I haven't heard of it before despite looking for something similar to arknights

>>532537620
It used to be similar to arknights in the first few months of its release 2 years ago. But over time it got dumped down. Just give it a chance and see for yourself.

>>532512435
There are harder contents but they’re not really mandatory if you just wanna check out story and get most of the pull income without tryhard

Saying that there is no hard content is a bit of an exaggeration. What is true though is, that there isn't really going to be anything in the campaign or normal event stages that's really hard, you are gonna breeze through that with a decently built and levelled team except for the odd stage here and there. The hard content is usually more about endgame activities, stages that want you to beat certain scores and similar things, that are pretty much optional.

There is no hard content when even the Dark Zone got dumped down and is about to get upgraded into another Depths clone in the next two months. The only people who struggle to get 240,000 points are people like the pants poster that straight up refuses to use characters and learn mechanics. The last hard EX stage I can think is the one from Adela's event with one ghost lady.

Don't hate the game, hate the way communities are.

I've done all the Peak Tests 5M but I still rather not tryhard DZ if it's a super duper hate boss like Wail

>the chimera's first shackle gives her lifesteal similar to Mantis and makes her debuff permanent
>her third shackle gives 20% more damage to the allied Sinner behind her to herself if the requirement isn't met
>on top of 20% damage reduction to the enemy in front of her

>>532543462
>20% damage reduction to the enemy in front of her

>>532541940
born to eep

>>532544891
that was not meant to be a reply i don’t know how i keep doing that……

>>532544891
>>532545064

>>532536107
You say that like there were gachas that were skill dependent before genshit
The only hard ones were ones where you just had to grind or pay more and you couldn't change anything about that through skill

>>532539958
I don't really want the game to be easy but I also don't want to feel like I'm kneecapping myself if that makes sense

>>532546873

>>532548648
if you go with your jasmine roll plan you can buy the rest of the bleed team here in the store btw

>>532548648
Interestingly enough harder gacha games still exist, they just don't get to be as successful as the big guys in the scene. Case in point might be Etheria Restart, a game that had a general of its own for close to 20 days before it died. Partly because there is a ingame guild with a decent chat option so whoever was interested just used it but also partly because people were unhappy with how time consuming and hard it was.

>Complete Main Story ReN2-7 [New Era] to unlock
how far away is that from 10-6
i haven't touched main story "actually played the game" since before donald
why is there an "Eastside" on the slider to the left
i am so lost

>>532549586
Hard doesn’t have to mean time consuming

I think most gachas have learned to keep the super hard stuff optional

Like the final tier of rewards either have no gacha currency or just very little, kind like the 240k rewards in D Z

its fucking surreal how fucking much troons try to insert themselves everywhere and make everything about themselves
like un fucking real dude

free time to start da story

>>532551657
the slider is meant to make navigating the story stages easier i guess
the jelena/election chapters take place in east side for example

So I did 20 beginner pulls and got those. Who is worth levelling here?
Also should I roll event banners or better save for now?
Also who should I pick from selector?

>>532553521
hamel is the gold standard for healers
eirene is mediocre but if you don't have any other magic s ranks she's fine i guess
zoya is very very bad

>>532553521
1. Hamel is the best healer for new players.
2. Do your newbie missions and get Nox. Nox+Hamel is your core as a new player
3. I think you also get 10 free rolls on the Collective banner, so at least use that
4. For the Selector, can you hold on to it? I dont remmeber if it has a expiration date or not. You can pick Dreya from the selector and start building your bleed team. Sumire, Pepper and Levy are all in the Depth ( a game mode) shop so if you pick Dreya you can build bleed team which is an actual team.
5. If you are sure you wanna do bleed team, roll event for Jasmine. Or just roll both new event characters for fun.

>>532554195
>>532553521
Also another advantage to holding onto your Selector is you could lose a 50/50 right now to someone in the Selector, so if you are gonna roll event for Jasmine as an example, try to roll Jas first and then use Selector just in case you lose 50/50

>>532544891

>>532558626
my husband levy is so cute…….

>>532558975
me on the left (._.)

>>532553521
Damn you got three S ranks in 20?
>>532516543
>>532514820
>>532514668
Aite I had to roll like 60-70 times but I ended up getting jasmine
Now to start going through figuring out what's worth upgrading

>>532563393
hamel worth
jasmine worth
levy worth
sumire worth
hella maybe worth? i have no idea where her reforge stuff puts her at

>>532563393

Did hypatia get needed into the ground?
I pulled her when trying to get jasmine

>>532571196
i dont know what the other comment mean but i was just surprised you have her since her event just ended before this one so shes "new" in my mind

>>532571196
i only used hypatia in her peak test where she was buffed to hell
i think normally she doesn't really do enough damage tho

>all the data crevice videos on youtube are for the first half

Oh nyoo is this real? Hope no chief is impacted....or finds a workawround

>>532571629
>>532571497
Fuck, of course I pull the new but shit S rank
Oh well Hamel let me scrape by on the third raid difficulty which is nice to keep farming.
I was left with just levy, kk and emo slowly whacking away at the plant, probably took like five minutes at 3x, thank god raids are instant in this game and I don't have to rewatch it like arknights

>>532573045

>>532573293
the autobattle being super quick is one of the reasons i stuck with the game
the convience of dailies is very good

good night chiefs

>>532575118

>>532575437
fucking adorable

The game IS hard if you're not really using the newest meta sinner.
Struggling real hard with my A and B-rank sinners. Some events I even have to skip.

>>532580403
which A ranks do you tend to use? Shrooma seems pretty good in more spacious maps but then again I built Eve so that's buffing the shrooms too...

>>532580403
this chief love

>>532580639
In order:
Pacassi, Roulecca, Dolly, Luvia, Hecate, Mess, McQueen

B-ranks:
Lisa, Kelvin, Labyrinth, Flora, EMP, Che and Macchiato

I can build more A and B ranks but I just haven't gotten around to it. I have Shrooma and Eve, and while I like Eve I want to challenge myself by not using too many S-rank sinners.

>>532581118
And it feels like a lot of the lower rank sinners only work well with specific S-rank sinners. I don't really like being shoehorned into team compositions.
Which is why I like Arknights, it doesn't really do that unless you really want to.

>>532581290
do ak have "teams"? i think i stopped around 2022

>>532581118
>Macchiato but not Ariel or Letta so no one to heal Hecate's Nightmare
>McQueen with no Endura
based build choices

>>532581636
I limit my S ranks, I don't outright play without them. I use ONE S-rank sinner at most.
Hamel if I need to heal, or Coq. Owo if I need an Endura. Nox if I need more damage. That's mostly all the S ranks I use.

>>532581496
Kinda, it has 2 now. Abyssal team and a Sui team. Other than that you can mix and match whatever.

>>532582090
I see! Congrats OwO!

also posting a Dolly cause she got mentioned and she doesn't get much art.

>>532582090
that's neat
i liked letting meta characters in ak carry my weaker characters like indra, etc

>>532582849
I follow the meta in AK, which is why I want to try NOT doing that here.

max king giga love PLEASE make him playable

>>532587194
he's a politician anon

>>532587524
a politician who i need in my sinner registry

>>532587194
>male
>still alive
yay!

Wow....I want this event on global NYOW

>>532590070
kick her in the vag hella

Sleeprirmo

It seems that in general for a new male sinner to be accepted he needs to be strong(physically) and stupid, and Max fits the criteria.

>>532594634
There is a new a rank

>>532594634
I want a femboy doctor sinner tho

>>532590070
no, you don't

how do i get the fish skin?

>>532612758
isn't it p2w

>>532613892
huh

>>532614041
like 90% of skins you buy in thr shop

>>532614494
can't find it

>>532616056
might not be in the rotation atm. they cycle every month or so
they make every skin available during cny and the anniversary so worst case you'll have to wait until october

>>532617278
.........annon i am talking about about the 2 star puglia skin

>>532617714
?

Mmm

>>532617859
Why does an immortal skin need story progression….

>>532536107
Show me N4-B4 with level 50 sinners. Sibila's stages suck

why don't you just do the story crappo

>>532622085
I don't play kusoges

did some of the data crevice levels. these are kinda fun. wonder how non-hamel healers fare for that healing level

So am I supposed to barely have any magic damage units or am I just not finding them? Are there any somewhat common ones (aka not S) that aren't in hecate's class?

>>532631364
joan and luvia are the budget magic damage sinners but they are not very good
the good magic teams all require at least a couple s rank sinners, if you have yao you can make yunyun and thistle work for example

>>532631825
I'm not trying to make a specific team, I was just doing some optional content (not sure if names yet) where a boss had a fuck load of hp and I noticed he had a much lower magic resistance than defense so I wanted to swap some units for magic damage units

>>532631364
https://s1n.gg/sinners

Put filter to show rank A and B, and the ones that do magic damage.

There...aren't a lot of good ones. If you exclude Hecate class (Arcane), most will be catalysts, that naturally aren't focused on dealing damage themselves.
If you also exclude the catalysts... You have let Lysandra, Dove, Yanyan,Thistle and Pacassi.

>>532631364
Luvia was the go to budget magic damage dealer at launch
You should have more options now in current year but I’m not sure if any of them are as easy and efficient as Luvia

>>532621575
nta but if i didn't have a friend with a maxed out zero i couldn't even dream of clearing them in story mode and i'd say i have decent sinners for a relative newbie. what the fuck were they thinking?

>>532636210
I found them way too hard and I can't even complain about it in the survey because once again, it was open right after maint and I accidentally clicked it, backed out, but it vanished anyway. Fix your UI AISNO.
>what were they thinking
"Fuck you" basically. It's weird to me because when I started, the game was really well calibrated to go through up until chapter 8 with Nox helping, then they went overboard with the rustfire stages (EN has a nerfed version), dialed it back for the next ones, and we're back to "lmao fuck you" stages. We're at a point where bosses like Jasmine can kill an S Endura with Hamel healing them, so I guess non long time players can just forget about clear rewards for months.

>>532636210
They have to be not completely trivial for people who have been playing since a decent time.
The first Rustfires chapters when they were released, now THAT was a "what were they thinking?" kind of catastrophe.

>>532637889
Excellent bait but I am not taking it.

>>532637951
Anon's saying he couldn't hope to clear story mode without assists. Frankly with the powercreep progress (when did you last use Deren?), at this point they might as well add a third difficulty level that isn't EX if they're intent on making obnoxious stages for the main story.

>>532638802
Oh.. I didn't notice the "in the story mode" part. Yeah, that sounds like a problem.

>>532631364
apparently Wuhuanzi's a decent magic dps. s1n.gg says she's comparable to a s0 Vautour Bleu at high shackles, but mine's s0 so I can't comment...

>>532639913
yugu my beloved…. free her!!!!

>>532640949
what do you think about the new Sinners, man whore??

>>532640949
idk what she wrote

>>532641209
thalia is a cutie and her introduction in the story is adorable. i haven’t met jasmine and parfait yet but i parfait seems like a gremlin which i love. from seeing a couple of jasmine’s supervision events she seems like she has a sad backstory. but i love her scheme
