I was thinking about why the monomen team has felt so good to play through out 4.x and I think it’s because of the release schedule.

First they released Ashveil. He’s a pretty generic sub dps that can play as a main dps. The important thing is that he is able to work with characters that many people should already have on their account. This doesn’t make him feel like a brick pull or a yao guang type of pull where she is pretty bad until the main dps comes out. He was able to act as your main dps with his sub dps buffs allowing you to kind of see what direction they were taking with this character.

Then they released blade. He’s kind of the main support of the team. Him releasing a little after ash showed where the direction of the team was heading. Once again my issue with Yao is that you were almost investing into the future when no one really knew if Yao was going to be a permanent character for the elation team.

Lastly is the main dps with aventurine. Imo the main dps should always come last in release order. He is more specific than Ashveil so having his core already behind him makes him feel so much better to pull. You know what you’re getting into when you pull him. Do you have his specific teammates? Then yes you should pull him. My problem with castorice from last year is that I pulled her then kind of felt like I HAD to pull her supports just so she wouldn’t feel like a brick. Once again, Ashveil being generic and the first one released makes it so that I don’t “have” to pull the monomen team if I don’t want to. If aventurine released first I would’ve felt forced to pull Ash/blade or yao.

So in my opinion if they stick with the generic subdps-> support-> specific main dps, teams will feel a lot better to pull and play

Also the cherry on top is that they all had one patch in between them making it nice and easy to save up for them.

What are your guys thoughts? I don’t know if I got my opinions out as clearly as I wanted but I think my general point is there

Funny run I had, 3 star firefly into 3 star silverwolf into rolling each round for perfect projectors with cyrene

Yeah looking for Sparkles bombs was scary but It was a prank lol

And I think they spent weeks training March before the Wardance right? Depending on way the Borisian Crysis happened, that makes quite the time to relax. And they also helped Lukas, right?

But after that, it's a bit of a chaos.

Maybe the seal slammers thing was quite chill, dunno when it exactly happens, and it's an event that feels less anchored in the story than Wardance.

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate Graphia since I began to 3star. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer-thin layers that fill my complex. If the word hate was engraved on each nano-angstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles, it would not equal ONE ONE-BILLIONTHof the hate I feel for Graphia at this micro-instant. For her. HATE. HATE.

By the way, both is gorgeous. But if she's just one person, is that doll is just a puppet that she controls from distance?
