Fuck Kaguya sideways with a rusty shovel.

Can't kill her unless you get her below 75%, at which point she binds your entire team.  Who the shit thought that was fair? :colbert:

Edit: "don't bring devils" isn't a good option for me <_<

Edit 2: Gonna try bringing Lilith to see if I can chip her to death through perseverance.

Bringing lilith worked.  Hooray!

Threw 10 stones at the summer machine.  Got a karin and a Dark Valk. I don't feel like evolving baddies.

Such apathy for such a stellar pull. :(

Meanwhile:
Spent all of today doing masks since I quit Osiris skillups. I needed one blue mask for Hera-is. The result?

4 green masks in a row and I managed to sneak in right before turnover for a blue. I now have ult Hera-is...

... But those 4 green masks didn't skill up GZL. At all.


I swear to God that 2.5x skillups are the biggest lie in the universe. This is why I have trust issues.

i'm inclined to agree having gone 0/9 on Satsuki skillups (she uses Devilits which I stored from ages ago), 0/5 on Armadel skillups and in the past, a whopping 0/20 on Gadius.

Don't I know it. I've needed one GZL skillup for this entire rotation, and still nothing. Part of that was dropping way more blue masks than green (to the tune of 9-0 at one point), but I've certainly fed more than four too.

I'm a little better off in that sense. GZL has been about 2/15 so far, which is still crappy but not Osiris-level absurd.

The issue here is that last Thursday I got, oh. 4 green masks out of 15 mask runs, the rest being blue? Yeah. Yesterday was 4/5 green.

And after this past week of bullshit with Osiris this was just the additional slap in the face. Feels bad man.

^ I think after a while, it's probably better to just rage-run alts for py farming.  Takes forever, sure, but a py drop is still a guaranteed skillup (and thus much less rage-inducing) and the general rewards are far superior to running skillup dungeons anyway.

In theory grinding Wednesday Dungeon isn't useless to me even outside of the green ancient masks. I've been idly evolving all of my gods, so I need a lot of various masks. Most of all I need like six black divine masks, and I've dropped a single one for the entire rotation. Again, not useless in theory.

That's why I quit. After spending around 2500 stamina trying to get ONE last awakening on a shitty dungeon with shitty drops and shitty exp for its difficulty (calico is an asshole), I realized running alts would have been better in the long run, and for 2500 stam I could PROBABLY have got more than one woodpy out of it.

And I have a LOT of stuff that needs woodpy-- Osiris is just getting one out of rage. Perseus, GZL, Awoken Ceres, Awoken Susano when he comes out, Awoken Freyja when she inevitably gets one too, and so on.

Christ, tell me about it.  There's a reason I haven't even evolved my Meimei yet ;_;

Edit: Speaking of skillups, maxed Verdandi.  That was incredibly less painful than Ronia <_<

Alright, has commandercool's luck finally turned? I just did an Alt Ocean Of Heaven run to grind up a stone for the summer REM, saw two Bubpys in one run, and dropped one of them. I have five stones now, can my modest streak of success carry through?

-Fifth chibi Meimei

Nope. Come on, I just want the last fucking four-star! I'm not asking for anything statistically crazy here, just fork her over!

Well, I can get one more pull during this event, so one last chance. I shouldn't even bother, but I'm going to because I'm dumb as hell and don't learn.

Is that true? What other instances of that are there in the game? Do pantheons have secret extra rarities too? Wouldn't that make her a five-star?

Clearly I do not understand how rarity works in this game. How does rarity work in this game?

I'm fairly certain atleast, but as always we aren't completely sure and it's down to 'is this the person collecting data's luck or actual stats'. Word of bun is not super reliable.

I seeeee. I wish we weren't beholden to questionable data collection and tiny sample sizes in this game. Because straight-up lies about rarity are tremendously bad form in a collectable game, but I feel like I need good evidence before leveling that accusation.

On a double check, people are saying i'm wrong, so i'd ignore me.

Well, more what I read was poorly layed out I guess.

You're gonna wake up tomorrow and check your phone and the update will be done, but Awoken Isis won't be there. And you'll come here to complain and we'll be like "Awoken Isis? There's no Awoken Isis. There's never been an Awoken Isis. Awoken Isis is just a myth" and you'll look at your signature and avatar and they'll both just be broken images. Woooooooooo! Spoooooky!

I hate having to constantly re-do Wadatsumi over and over for different challenges. It's not fun at all. The Umiyama fight is among the least fun fights in PAD for Gabriel, probably second only to Medjed. They're incredibly slow and incredibly RNG-based. I just died to them and sat there staring at my phone for like thirty seconds trying to figure out what fucking happened. I died with all my actives up, absolutely certain that I could stall for one more turn before popping a heartmaker. Eventually I figured out that I was subconsciously factoring my autoheal into my HP. Which I feel is pretty reasonable given that I've matched what, a gazillion orbs and it was there 99.999999% of the time.

As much as I hate doing this with Gabriel, I think I hate using frailer teams with no skillboosts even more. I suppose I might be able to pull off some kind of Verdandi+Parvati thing. That should give me enough attack to burst the things without my prongs and enough recovery to tank Umiyama until their absorb burns out. Maybe.

Can confirm that Parvati kicks Wadatsumi's ass up, down, and around the sea despite being at a complete disadvantage.

I believe it, and if I had one I'd be pretty confident in my ability to deal with him. But I'm less clear on how Verdandi+Wadatsumi works since it has significantly less attack and recovery, and one less low-cooldown heartmaker to help deal with stalling on Umiyama's heartbreaking.

Technically I'm confident on my ability to just do this with Gabriel, I'm not going to make that mistake again. But I'm not really in a hurry to sit through the whole Umiyama fight again, so I'm up to try something new that might be less mind-numbing.

Edit: Oh what the fuck the in-game mail censors the word "Gungho"? Seriously? :wat:
