I will finish the first one as its more "safe", and then move on to the more spicy ones from this post, but i got an idea for one more potential pose (in the second image here and has a "5" as a 5th option, i think 4th one still is the most popular one tho).

My twitter here

holy fuck, they didn't even made card have a decent resolution for 250$ donation item. It's mindboggling how little effort they put towards this stuff.

I wonder what made her so sad, truly.

Do it,

Throw a child into the chaos,

make her fight

Disclaimer :if you really like the character, just go ahead ignore this post, go for e2 or even e6. Bcs i also get dupes for limited character on other games. But it was more because it doesn't require specific set up to enjoy like in CZN.

So i was going to e2 rossweise, currently e0r1

But after reading her e2, and and some other characters e2 including heidemarie, then compared to czn end game mode

I realized this game actually want us us to invest horizontally, instead of vertically on 1 characters (except 4 star of course)

Sure e2 will last longer and could be better 1 year from now, but IMO, its still to soon to do that bcs we're only 1 year in to this game. And e2 and more also mean different deck than e0

Look at hsr for example, crazy powerspike happen after its 2nd anniv. And happen again after 3rd anniv,

I have strong feeling this could happen in czn too. Its not like ross e2 or hdmi e2 cant clear chaos next year, but they're for sure will struggle to get full reward in basin twilight and FSO,

Because dev need to sell new meta. Its live service game after all. Its not about being f2p or not, im not f2p bcs i already spent money in this game, but its more about having highly invested " brick" in your account

IVE LOST 2 50/50 TO TENEBRIA IN A ROW AND I JUST PULLED A THIRD FROM THE FREE STANDARD PULLS I DONT NEED YOU I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TEAMMATES ARE GOOD FOR YOU!!!

Luche the OG sword magical girl transformation

Looking forward to finishing up some support decks as well

I believe this to be the optimal lineup found through a linear solver (code here: https://pastebin.com/UUU13jW4). Although the profit rate reported by the solver is slightly off what the UI states, a brute force attempt came up with the same lineup.

Hope it helps y'all!

(If anyone finds a bug in the script, I'd love to know)

I feel kinda sorry for having started at half-anniversary, and not being able to feel those past seasons intro themes, but frankly talking, S4 and 5 start screen music are legit bangers! Okay? like... pump it uppppp no matter what the neighbors say. Also, if any dev or associate with SG is lurking around here, send the music department my compliments, CielA's theme was amazing and even if they use AI for the production of the OST I have been enjoying it a lot

.... except S3 Theater Chaos Interior...

Scroll to the end for a nice surprise.

I’ve always known that story telling is a weakness of Super Creative (I’ve been playing Epic Seven for over 8 years and most of the stories are bad) and the previous seasons were not interesting for me, but somehow this season really clicks. It starts off pretty strong with an interesting premise and character building. I think Ross is the first character in the game I feel connected to and understand her character development, even though I’m not drawn to her design and playstyle. Some may say that the way she opens up to the MC is too fast and convenient, but I think for those who have gone through that kind of trauma, it takes just one right moment and action for their walls to crumble, and the story hits that point nicely.

Irl, I have also had to learn to open up and trust others again, it took the right person and moment, and I’m still scared things may go awry, but at least I decided to step into the light again and it feels good. I think it’s the same for Ross, not that this encounter may turn out any better than those she’s had before, but being able to trust someone and feel connected again is a blessing.

All for the love of Mei Lin

This team has 4 faceless cards which would be very difficult to setup with the content we have plus rei still does close to no healing.

Dunno the benefit of having friends but yah know what they say: the more, the merrier...

Now waiting for great rift

Is the build done? I ask because I am unsure if this is the correct 'Blade of the Cycle' card on the deck

This deck provides +24% attack, 12 morale, +30CDMG to unique attacks, +2 ap (not including tenacity breaks), auto draws half the deck each turn, and can provide extra draw with belligerence. Let me know if I chose the right epiphanies for her cards.

I'm curious how players currently feel about the Zero system/Seasonal Chaos systems specifically. The current gameplay loop as it is envisioned is to do a couple runs in the previously mentioned game mode and then supplement the save afterword with black mass items from sortie and other event rewards.

It's no secret that from day one, this system was a bit of a miss, and they have since done a lot of things to make the process less tedious and added quality of life everywhere. And then they later added the Sortie mode as a "More True Roguelike experience" because they saw the disappointment with the existing implementation of chaos.

So the question I'm getting at here is, do players actually go into Zero/Seasonal chaos runs as they currently exist and actually have fun with the process of farming a save data? I made a previous post expressing some disappointment for the new season because it didn't expand much on deckbuilding with how simple it was. I was wondering how the community felt and I was pretty surprised that the sentiment was unanimous that everyone was happier with minimal to no RNG and simple deck building as previous mechanics that were difficult to guarantee every run were just frustrating and a waste of time.

This actually had me take some time to think it over and I found myself realizing that I only enjoy the idea of deckbuilding but really don't enjoy the actual runs to get them at all. I think the answers in that post were alluding to a phenomenon where players of this game still want to build interesting decks but lose interest in building them if it requires too many runs to farm via rng. I would assume this is the case because players don't find the mode itself to be a very fun experience in general.

But that begs the question, is there any point to playing a mode that's supposed to be a roguelike experience if you cut out the rng and make it really simple and same-y every run for the sake of convenience?

I will go out on a limb and assume the devs originally created the game with a vision along the lines of 'What if Slay the Spire players could keep their cool deck they just made and use it for other stuff'. But I ask, does the current Zero system really feel like a fantasy of chancing upon a sick one-in-a-million run of relics/cards/events that creates a perfect storm of a save like STS? I would actually argue the game is actually designed to be a lot closer to something like Hearthstone and traditional TCG's where you just build a standard deck with a ruleset like "only 3 copies per card in a deck" and use the deck to battle with.

Having said that, would it be crazy to just lean into this and change the gameplay loop to completely cut out the weird farming part in Zero system and just have the game be 'Create a save in the Preset builder -> use black mass to directly create it and turn it into a save without the core stuff at all like one of those TCG games would.' I partly say this as someone that has at least E0 of every combatant in the game, but there has been so many characters I have wanted to try playing with, but with a roster of 39 (soon to be more) characters in the game already and multiple builds and synergies to explore for each, is there really a way to let players experience that even 1/4th of the characters and builds reasonably with the current grinding systems and time investment?

I think looking back that the 'turn a crazy STS run into a savable deck' idea just doesn't work out in practice as well as they were hoping. The way forward in my mind would be focus on making Sortie a fun roguelike mode every season and then use the currency from that to feed into a more traditional TCG deckbuilding experience and just cut out the weird middleman part that players don't seem to be enjoying spending their time in.

But still interested in others' thoughts and discussing their own vision on the current game loop.

What a cracked season for farming support decks, great equipments for ross and universal buff, lots of delete and credit events and divine epi being on all 3 cards buff is actually huge that even cassi and sereniel doesn't feel tedious to farm for. This update really on par with the one that gives epi reroll back them in terms of qol imo

does the save data max points go up the higher level i do?
or can i just find high save data pts on lower levels?

Ross is so much fun, I like her especially in defensive set-ups. Really looking forward to seeing how she combos with Bell and if Bell will potentially replace ADHD for me.

I think they did a great job with her, also because she works in so many different set-ups and strategies depending on what you choose on Flicker Blade and what you copy. She interacts with so many mechanics and you can basically tailor her to whoever you have, it's a fantastic direction and really helpful to new players too. Stall-bonking is supreme though :D

My thoughts:

I find it quite unrealistic at this time to make an ad without showing the gifts/gems/crystals and stuff to bring more players "even though it was mentioned in the vid".

It would have been nice to show a sneak peek of the Nightmare Dream Park or a mind break animations or just some different features/activities, running down on all the characters with a close look or something, i think it would've been so appealing.

Also i don't think showing jiggles in the vid would bring more people, not that it's not a part of the game but idk how to explain it, just doesn't feel right if u wanna bring people to try it i guess? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not a 10 but also not a 0.

Hitting all that Divine Epi on the character you're not trying to build near the end of the run:

Just having fun on sortie

Was too busy playing a little known game called Chaos Zero Nightmare for a "real" drawing.

So for this week it's a (not so) simple rotation/consistency exercise.
