[Shut off last version of this post to avoid possible continual spread of misinformation that was corrected by staff. Reposting clean with corrected info]

So I'm sure almost everyone knows about the porn bot problem by now, so here's a post detailing why it's a problem, and what we need to do about it.

First off, yes, always block the porn bots. Don't be mislead into thinking they're ok to keep around because they 'inflate your follower count.'

Firstly, no one cares about, nor can anyone even see, your follower count. Be free from the shackles that are the bullshit other socials told you was important. Don't let your ego be tied to a number. Having a lot of followers won't earn you any clout here.

Secondly, bots only follow blogs to try and legitimize their malware (and other dodgy) links. This post goes into more detail about that.

Now that that's out of the way, you'll need to know how to recognize a porn bot. This round the template seems to be:

A profile photo of a pretty lady or guy, usually in their underwear, with a similar header photo.

A bio with some combination of: [Age] // [Name] // [Location] // [Emoji] // [Top Bullshit% OnlyFans]

URL consisting of a name followed by a number (i.e: firstlast999)

Typically an empty blog, or if there is content, it's all dodgy links. Visible, but empty, Likes Tab, & occasionally a visible Following Tab.

You likely recognize the pattern.

So, what you want to do is, first, report the blog as spam On mobile it'll look like this:

On mobile you'll need to report spam first, and then go back to the menu again to block.

On desktop it will look like this, and unlike mobile, you'll be able to report spam and block in the same motion:

If I remember correctly,* be sure to "Report Spam", not "Report sexually explicit material" to feed the bots to the proper channels. Because the blog is empty, they haven't posted anything explicit that would violate TOS. However, staff can recognize a bot, and if you report the blog for spam (the actual problem) they'll take a look, more than likely find that the blog is posting or DMing dodgy links, and dispose of it.

And I think that's it. Here's wishing you all a happy and safe blogging experience!

[UPDATE: It was suggested on another post that the bots track your IP if you click on them to send more your way. However, someone from staff corrected and said this is incorrect. They also corrected the 'guilt by association' myth that bots following you can get your blog flagged by tumblr.

That said, that trail all led to another, easier, way to report/block the bots all from your Follower Tab instead of visiting each blog separately, unfortunately it only works on desktop:

(For newbies, click on the little person icon at the top right of your screen and scroll to find the Followers tab under the blog/sideblog you need to block a pornbot from.)

*I remember this information from a blog that used to be all about taking down the pornbots. Unfortunately I do not know if that blog is still active, nor can I remember the URL. If anyone knows what blog I'm referring to, and/or if they're still active, please feel free to tag them so others can follow them for more tips!

uhhhhhh aphelios f2p this week should i try him out (i got scared just from reading his abilities but i think he's really cute)

aphelios is super simple!! i promise!!!!!! even a goofy goober like me picked him up!!

there's a bit more to him than just this guide of course, but the same can be said about other champions's kits & abilities/strategies/etc.!

imo you should focus on remembering what each gun does when you first start playing him. it's easier to take stuff one step at a time, and if you find yourself in a bind, you'll know what your current weapons do.

(better to know your weapons well than to try and follow a weapon combo/rotation and not know what your attacks are doing. you can still make the most out of a bad weapon combo if you have to)

this video was very helpful for a lil summary :)

short answer: yes you should try playing aphelios! he is cute 💞

#haitaksi #aphelios #me arts tag #there's more tips i can add but i just wanted to focus on the basics because he's intimidating as is hehehe #i hope visually this helps!! this is how i remember his guns and stuff ^_^ #(disclaimer: im a newbie noob/beginner! but i can try and point towards guides/resources if you have more questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) #edit: forgot to add your ult also applies the effect of your current active gun x3 #green/white/blue are my fav ults. red is for panic healing and purple is if you REALLY need some guys to stop (i dont use it much) #but!! dont mind this too much i dont wanna overload info :3

Arcana Twilight and Obey Me (OG) Comparison

Background: Obey Me (OG) was officially released on December 11, 2019, while Arcana Twilight was released on August 25, 2022 for worldwide audience. People have said that Arcana Twilight have similar mechanics with Obey Me (OG), but to what extent? I've played both games, so I'll write this comparison.

Disclaimer: The things I would write here would be based on my observation of the game mechanics and features present in both games. I did this post to list down the similarities and difference between both games, and not to cause dissonance between two fandoms.

Similarities

I'll list down the similarities in this format:

[Arcana Twilight feature = Obey Me (OG) feature]

MP = AP

Gold = Grimm

Crystals = Devil Points (DP)

Magic Tickets = Demon Vouchers (DV)

Visit = :D Jobs

Milky Way = Devil's Tree

Sorcerer Cards = Demon Cards

Wish Cards = Memory Cards

Scout = Nightmare

Constellation Room = Chapter A

Wish Room = Chapter M

Possession Room = Chapter G

Dressroom = Majolish

Chat = Chat

Calls = Phone

Diary = Devilgram

Mission = To Do

Shop = Akuzon

Magic Academy = Contacts

Stage = Your Tasks

Arcana Club Membership = Akuzon VIP Membership

Amplifier Stone = Glow Stick

Summon of Sorcerer = Surprise Guest

Unicorn = Raven

Differences

a. Amount of ads

The very first thing that will greet you when you open the Arcana Twilight is an ad. Both games have ads to support their game mechanics, but the amount of ads you could find in Arcana Twilight is more than those in Obey Me.

The Obey Me ads are mostly there to help the players gain more chances to battle the stages - thru gaining more AP or gaining more battle chances in hard stages or event stages.

The Arcana Twilight ads, however, are mostly found everywhere, since the ads can be used to double the resources drops/gold and to obtain materials and gold if you don't have MP to farm battle stages. You could even use the ads to reduce the time for Visits, which then you don't have to wait long to get gold to upgrade your cards. The ads in this game is like a massive cheat to progress faster thru the game. All you have to do is watch ads and you'll have your resources as reward.

However, there are times wherein forced ads would sometimes pop out after you complete a battle stage in main story or when you'd open the app. If the player wants to opt out of the ads, unfortunately, they can't do so. I'm not sure if the Arcana Club membership implements a "No-Ads" perk though.

As for why are there so many ads in the game? There's a speculation that the reason might be because of this. The link discussed about the reason for why it looks like they are in need of money. Since ads is an option to gain money in a game, they utilized it in order to make money because they are constantly on red. This is actually a good way for free-to-play (F2Ps) players to support the developers if they can't shell out money or buy the Arcana Club membership in the game.

b. Crystal Rewards in Main Story Stages and Daily Missions

One thing you'd notice right away is that in Arcana Twilight, each battle stage rewards 50 crystals for first-time 3-star clear. Then, after you clear out the whole chapter, you'll receive another crystal reward for 3-starring all stages in the chapter. The daily missions give out 50 crystals each day, so it pays the effort to open the game daily and clear out the dailies.

It is completely different from Obey Me (OG), wherein completing each stage in the main story, you'll only receive devil's tree items in the missions and occasionally, you'll get DP for the boss stage you've cleared for the chapter. The daily missions only give out a total of 18 devil points.

c. Events

Obey Me constantly push events every time in the game. There are times when there would be downtime, but it is pretty minimal. The events have story stages and reward ladders that players could opt to grind if they want the UR cards in the event. There are also event cards that is only available in time-limited event banners, which can boost the points for the reward ladder grind.

However, the Pop Quiz or Celestial Blessing events are mostly for spending players and not for F2Ps because of how much resources you need to put into the event just to get the desired rewards from the ladder. F2Ps could join the Birthday event grind but with proper preparation first. But the good news is that the past Pop Quiz and Celestial Blessing events do come back in Lonely Devil and you could rerun the event for a limited time to grind for the rewards as F2P.

Arcana Twilight, on the other hand, has event cards but there is no event story stages nor reward ladders to grind for. The event story is locked behind the event cards from the limited-time banners.

When it comes to limited-time event banners, Obey Me only have demon cards in the banners, whereas in Arcana Twilight, the event banners include both sorcerer card and wish card in the roster. The Obey Me event memory cards are only available in the event reward ladders.

Both games have event banner reruns and Obey Me rerun banners also retain the pity/total summons done from before, so that players could continue their pulls the next time the banner reruns. As for Arcana Twilight, I have no idea if the rerun banners also retain the pity/total summons from previous banner run.

d. Main Story Chapter Updates

There's this joke in the fandom that while Obey Me updates their main story chapter every week, Arcana Twilight gets update every year. It sounds like a joke, but it's not really far-fetch from what happened.

To start off, I'm not a day 1 player. I only started recently so the things I'm writing here are from what I understood in my research. I snooped around the archives of the official Tumblr account of Arcana Twilight and sub-Reddit and found their posts about the chapter additions in the game and noted their timestamps.

Their very first chapter addition is Floor 10, which means that on its initial release, the game has until Floor 9 only. Floor 10 was announced to be added on September 2022, Floor 11 on April 2023, Floor 12 on late October 2023, and recently released, Floor 13 was added on December 2023.

I still haven't reached Floor 13 yet. I stopped at Floor 8 at the time of this writing, because of the requirement needing me to be at least level 30 to proceed to next floor, which I'm currently low-leveled yet for that, so I could only bid my time and make my team stronger for the next floors.

But from what I could tell, the players feel as if they were left with a cliffhanger with the recent addition, with many of them thinking that a lot of questions were left unanswered. They could see the potential of the story in the game but, a lot of lore details weren't really touched on in the story.

I'm not really sure what happened in Floor 13 since I tried to avoid the story spoiler, but this image below is what I saw mostly talked about.

People are either thinking that this ending credit means that the main story of the game is completely finished or that this credit is saying that this floor is the end of Season 1 of main story.

In my opinion, I'm not really sure how to react to this kind of news. I just recently started the game and wrote the newbie guide and card mechanic guide posts just a few days after playing the game, only to find out that the game is probably on it last leg. I'm not really sure what would happen next for this game and I could only wait it out.

e. Inventory

Obey Me (OG) doesn't have an inventory, while Arcana Twilight has one.

f. Friend list

Obey Me (OG) has friend list where you could gain 50 AP by exchanging with friends daily, while Arcana Twilight doesn't have one.

Friendly reminder that "guilty prisoners can't request items" is a fan theory. It's based on the fact that the guilty prisoners mostly kept their old outifts in T2 (except for Fuuta) and on Yuno volunteering to get Mahiru a wheelchair (when Mahiru wouldn't be able to walk to the storage room in her condition regardless).

#Like feel free to believe in it anyways #It just kind of bothers me when people tell newbies that it's 100% a canon fact #Literally the only rules we know about are: 1) prisoners can't attack the guard #2) prisoners can't attack each other (T2 onwards) and 3) The guard (and the guide at least under special circumstances) can make new rules #milgram

To new tumblr users:

please turn on custom blog theme in your settings. custom blog theme is something that is actually so wonderful about having a tumblr, and we need to show @staff how important of a feature this is to this site.

Propaganda:

Having a custom blog theme gives you a yourURL dot tumblr dot com site. Having your very own website is cool as fuck.

Having your own site makes it much easier to search and view your blog, and use tags to sort posts.

Another fun thing that you can do is create custom side pages for your blog with useful static information, like an about page or a tags page.

show off your personality and interests with a cool site. organise your posts to find them later, and to give your followers the ability to view all the posts on your blog with a specific tag, like a tag for your writing or your art. This can be done by providing a link to a specific tag that looks like this: yourURL dot tumblr dot com/tagged/myCoolTag

You can have a cool site, even if you don't know how to do web code, I promise. Here's how your turn this feature on:

go to the little person icon in your top ribbon (circled in red):

2. in the resulting pop up, scroll down to "blogs" < yourBlog (highlighted in red):

3. click on "blog settings". This will take you to a new page. (highlighted in red)

4. on this new page, scroll down to "custom theme" and flip the toggle switch to on. (circled in red)

5. now click that "edit theme" button. This will take you to a new page that will look something like this:

depending on what theme you end up using, the options in the white sidebar will be different. For now, that's not what we're actually interested in though!

6. to get started with your theme, click the edit HTML button.

7. This pops open a thing with the code from your blog. This is where you can edit or paste code into to customize your blog. This is where the fun starts!

If you know code, you can write code yourself, but I'm going to just assume that you don't know enough code to write a tumblr theme. Fortunately for you, there are lots of people out here on tumblr dot com that do know how to write code and make tumblr themes and do this AND make these themes publicly available for anyone to use.

8. Where do I find this, you might ask? Great question! A good place to start is Theme Hunter, which is a blog where they share lots of independent theme creators themes. Typically when you use someone's theme, you should reblog their post about it, as this is often a term of use. Theme hunter is nice because they are really organized so you can find some nice categories to start you theme hunt in their "more" drop down:

you'll notice that they also have pages about how to install tumblr themes. The "page themes" section is for side page themes. We'll get to that in little bit, but for now what you want is the "Tumblr themes" Most themes will have a set of easy to use customization options for stuff like background colors, font sizes, sidebar images, links, accent colors, etc. Most theme posts will have an example or "live preview" of the theme in question so you can play around with it and see if you like all of the features. Remember that you can change all of the colors and the font sizes if you like.

9. Once you find a theme you like, click on the "code" link in the post which typically takes you to a pastebin page with the code of the theme.

10. click "raw" in the top ribbon, which takes you to a new page that has nothing but the code on it. (highlighted in red)

the new page will look something like this:

11. click anywhere in this page, and hit ctrl + a (on windows) or command + a (on mac) this selects all of the code. Now hit ctrl + c (windows) or command + c (mac). This copies all of the code to your clipboard.

12. Now go back to the theme editing page for you blog and click anywhere in the code box. hit ctrl + a (windows) or command + a (mac) to select all of the text in the code window. hit backspace (windows) or delete (mac) to erase the text.

13. now that your code window is empty, click in it again. Hit ctrl + v (windows) or command + v (mac), which should paste all of that code that you copied before into the code window.

14. Now hit "update preview" (highlighted in red)

this will update the preview of your blog so that you can now see it with the theme! It may not look quite right yet, but that's because you haven't set up all the customization options yet! Note that until you hit "save" the theme does not become live on your site.

15. hit "save" then hit the back arrow on the code window next to the gear symbol.

16. Now for the fun part! Customizing! Scroll down In the little sidebar to the section called "theme options." This is where you'll get to select stuff like colors, sidebar images and fonts. Sometimes, things still won't look right in the preview, but once you go to your page, you can see what it actually looks like. I recommend having a copy of your blog page open in another tab that you can refresh every time you hit "save" while customizing your theme, to make sure that things look right.

Tadah! you have a new cool website. share the news with your followers.

new to genshin and confused? here's what EVERY character does! || p1 - cryo

intro is kinda long srry, if you don't want to read it all tldr this is part 1 of 7, will link previous installments in every new post.

hello! This is part 1 of a new series (idk what else to call it) i'm doing where I summarize every character's kit. It seems like a lot of people on here are new or casual/story focused players who might not be interested in reading every character's abilities.

So if you aren't too into combat and want to see what every character does to decide who you want, this post is for you!

Today i'll be looking at Cryo characters. If you want to see my posts for other elements if they are out yet, i'll be adding links to all other elements in each new installment. I'll also make a post w links to all other elements once i'm done w all 7

note: i will not be talking in depth about how strong a character is unless it is very important. mainly because the best way to have fun (for most) is by playing characters you like and also bc tier lists are often controversial and pretty much all characters if built well are viable

ALSO when i list their roles they aren't ranked in order or implying that if you need x role you should play that character. I'm just putting what I most commonly see them played in

ok enough talking, let's get into it!

Icons for Newbies!

So I made a poll to see if I should draw some profile icons for newbies, and you guys said yes, so I whipped up this little set real quick!

Wasn't sure what to make so just went with some simple monochromatic designs based off the tumblr colors. These are free for anyone to use, but made mostly to help newbies not look like bots (because keeping the default icons and empty blogs make you look like bots, and if you look like a bot you risk your favorite blogs blocking you by mistake!)

Also, here's a free header- mostly because it amuses me, but also because it further helps signal you're not a bot. (So will making a post or reblogging literally anything. Even just making a post saying you're shy and/or just lurking for now helps wonders to keep people from mistaking you for a bot!)

Liking and/or reblogging is appreciated if you use them, and will help other newbies be able to see that they're available if they can't find their own!

I'll probably make more later. Again, I'm not taking individual requests for these, but if you have a theme or fandom in mind you'd like to see, throw me an ask and I might make another set happen.

Another Warframe PSA especially useful before you start The Sacrifice. CMIIW Theres also another one but its in spoilers territory but useful if you're having a hard time dealing with it.

Get the Amp if you haven't already then upgrade it, this helps your Operator a lot especially earlier if can. You can get them in Saya's Vigil quest in Cetus upon completing it. It'll help you also in the long run. (Since Cetus was not reccommended for me to do when I was still starting new and I avoid it for a long time even after The War Within, I'd say you do the quest before Chains of Harrow from my experience)

---Now we get to the spoilers tips:

When fighting Umbra during the stages of the quest of you trying to transference him, face him straight in line and don't be void slinging around to avoid him. This only makes it harder for you to aim your void beam at him and he jumps and avoids you around easily. Then when he gets near you immediately void sling to the far opposite side of the room. It makes you have more room to breathe and more time to aim your beam at him. Rinse and repeat until you deplete his shields. It'll took a few tries with the timing but it saves a lot more time than slinging around in panic while trying to aim.

Tanky Warframes also help if the Umbra gets too close and you have no time to dodge then he clothesline your operator so before it happens immediately taps back to your Warframe. I unfortunately picked up Volt and was absolutely wrecked. Since his shields only get weakened by the void beam your Warframe can only dodge or run so your operator can recover in meantime. The Void was laughing their asses off I bet from my constant deaths

Kite him around planters or corners since he gets stuck rather easily that way and it might buy you some time to void beam him.

(I just finished the quest and there are things that you can do to make it easier to complete. I was dumb and persistent enough to complete it with starting lvl 1 Amp and took few tries do not do this)

Also if there are any veteran Tennos out there who could give some tips to prepare for The New War or The Sacrifice in this post it would be a great addition thank you in advance!

Arcana Twilight Newbie Guide

NOTE: The things I'll write here are not from my experience. I'm purely compiling tips I've searched in the internet so it could help me (and probably you) in the game. Think of it as my game notes or something like that.

When starting an account

You get a free 10-pull in the tutorial. There's a chance for you to get SSR card from it, which is the current highest rarity card in game. It is advised to reroll your account if you didn't get any SSR card from that 10-pull.

To reroll account:

Start the game with a guest account

Finish the tutorial and do the 10-pull, if you got the SSR card of the character you like, you could stop here.

Click on the button with three lines at upper right corner

Setting

Customer Support

Delete Account

Restart the game

All about SSR cards

Collecting SSR card is the endgame goal to have. SR cards could work for early game, but would need to be replaced once harder content comes in game.

There are two types of cards needed to create a team - sorcerer cards and wish cards. Sorcerer cards can be obtained from Constellation room in Scout, while Wish cards from Wish room. Constellation room and Wish room are considered standard banners in game.

NOTE: You can't have 2 cards (be it sorcerer cards or wish cards) of the same character in 1 team. You need to have varying characters for each attribute.

There are several ways to get SSR cards:

a. Pull from Constellation and Wish rooms with crystals or magic tickets. (Scout > Constellation/Wish)

b. Pull in Possession Room with 27000 gold. This gives at least 1 SSR card shard per 10-pull (not guaranteed tho). (Scout > Possession)

c. You could grind the SSR card shards in hard stages. The hard stage is called "Twilight mode" in game. (But the catch here is that the shard drop rate is too low. One player tried to grind for one Alpheratz SSR card but it took her 7 months to complete it.)

d. Buying the SSR card shards from shop using 15 or 135 unicorns. (Shop > Exchange shop > Piece of card)

e. Pull from limited event banners with crystals or magic tickets. SSR card shard pity varies according to event banner (e.g. 200, 250, and 300 are the pities from previous event banners). The pity or total summons could be seen in "View Details" button above the "Scout 10 times" button.

** It is advised to save up the crystals for the limited-time event banners.

f. Buying the SSR card shards from the Seasonal Event Shop (Shop > Seasonal Event Exchange Shop > Card Piece). To obtain the currency for this limited-time shop, you must complete the "Seasonal Event Missions".

** One card shard costs 60 event currency each, which means you need 3600 event currency in total. But currently, there is only a total of 2280 event currency in the Seasonal Event Missions, which means you can't buy all 60 shards...

** I can't find more info about the details on event banners. Might update this part later on when I actually experience how the event is done in this game.

NOTE: You need 60 shards and 40,000 gold to form a single SSR card.

Summon of Sorcerer (SOS)

Every time you manual battle the stage, a character would appear in SOS after the battle, regardless if you 3-star or 2-star the stage, and if you got their touch interactions right, you'll get either 1000 gold or 10 MP. There is no cap with the SOS rewards.

Preferred touch actions after battles (SOS):

Alpheratz: Ignore three times

Arcturus and Pollux: Stroke head/face three times

Sirius, Spica, and Vega: tap shoulder three times

** More interaction options here.

There are several ways to obtain gift items for characters during SOS:

can be bought in Contell shop, but availability is random, costs 12,000 gold

can be bought in Shop > Items > Present, costs either 30 or 270 gems

can be bought in Shop > Exchange shop > Present, costs unicorns

by unlocking the first gift node of SSR and SR wish card

by pulling in Possession room in Scout

All about Crystals/Gems

Crystals are premium currency used in game and can be bought using real money.

From one-time crystal sources [free]:

Main story normal mode and twilight mode. Each battle stage gives 50 crystals.

Missions > Sorcerer Mission

Missions > Beginners Event

From recurring gem sources [free]:

Mission > Daily Mission (50 crystals daily)

From Arcana Club [paid]: (Shop > Arcana Club)

2750 crystals when you buy it

total of 2250 crystals over the course of 28 days

NOTE: All R sorcerer cards have first 2 gift space in Milky Way that rewards crystals (70 crystals in total). Worth upgrading those nodes.

All about Magic Tickets

Magic Tickets are used to pull in Constellation and Wish rooms. These can also be used in limited-time event banners.

Buy the discounted 10 magic tickets in shop. A 10-pull costs 2700 gems in Scout, but it is only 2220 gems in Shop. Refreshes every month. (Shop > Items > Scout)

NOTE: All SSR and R Wish cards have magic ticket as the last gift space in Milky Way. Worth upgrading those nodes.

All about Gold

Gold is used to upgrade card levels, to unlock nodes in Milky Way, to buy items in Contell shop, and to pull in Possession Room in Scout.

Different ways to obtain gold:

doing the highest floor stages in battle x3 you have unlocked and opting to watch ad to double the reward

doing the highest floor stages in manual battle for a chance to get 1000 gold from SOS

sending the characters in "Visit"

watching ads from "FREE! +2000 Gold" button

watching ads to make Visits quicker (1 ad = 10 min reduced) and doubling the rewards

watching ads in Contell Shop, but the availability is random

All about Unicorn

Unicorn is used to exchange items in the Exchange shop. (Shop > Exchange)

Different ways to obtain unicorn:

You could get unicorn by pulling in Possession room with 27000 gold. Doing daily 10-pull can give you SSR card shards and levels up the SR, R, and N cards in your roster. Once you have maxed out the skill level of SR, R, and N cards, when you pull those same cards again, it would convert it into unicorn.

Another source of unicorn is from gift nodes in Milky Way of SSR and SR cards, not R cards.

All about Keys

Keys are used for unlocking premium chats and messages.

Ways to obtain keys:

unlocking the level cap nodes of sorcerer and wish cards, any rarity works

giving a gift to a sorcerer during SOS for daily mission

first gift node of N wish card

second to last box on SSR wish card gives 2 keys

All about Milky Way materials

Milky way materials are the items needed to unlock the nodes in Milky Way.

Several ways to obtain the said materials:

by farming the normal mode and twilight mode stages that drops the needed materials

by watching ads and buying with gold in Contell Shop

by sending the sorcerers in Visit

** u/Jeschalen from Reddit shared a spreadsheet that tracks the Milky Way materials in normal mode and twilight mode. Link can be found here.

Miscellaneous information

"1 star picking from Milky Way" in Beginners Event in Mission means unlocking the last node in Milky Way. The purple node with star and has "picking star" subtext.

In Constellations and Wish tabs under Scout, if you look at "View details", you'll see the Scout completion reward. By clicking on "Reward Renewal", you could refresh the summon rewards if you don't like the card rewards without losing your progress. Even after passing the rewards you don't have to claim the pieces right away, you can still change it, but you won't be able to claim the next reward marker until you claim the first one. Refresh is free every 24 hours.

You can get gifts up to 3 times on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at certain times. For more info, you could check it out here.

SR wish cards give amplifier stones in gift nodes.

All about Main Story Affection Gain

An otome game player and blogger named Nakimushi has compiled a list of chapter dialogue options that give affection gain on sorcerers. Link for Chapter 1 (Part 1) can be found here. The other chapters can be found in a link in the sources below.

All about Card Mechanic

It is worth noting that some card skills have faster charging time (i.e. decode, shield deployment, and skill power up). Use these kinds of cards because the enemy could freeze, put you to sleep, or drain your skill gauge. The card mechanic is further explained here.

All about MP

MP is used to do battle stage. Without it, you can't really do anything in the game, besides watching ads while waiting for MP to replenish. It takes about 5-minutes for 1 MP to regenerate.

There are other sources of MP as well if you are in a pinch:

SR sorcerer cards give 100 MP in the first gift node.

You get occasional 50 MP in mail, but it depends on weekend event.

Doing the battle stage manually and getting the SOS interactions right could give you 10 MP.

Have you watched “Skam” before?

If yes, which countries version is your fav, I’m curious. 👀

I've heard about it for aaaaaaaages but haven't actually watched any of it yet. Is it only specific seasons of certain versions that are gay? 'Cause the recs are always 'UK Skam season 2' or 'Italian Skam season 5' and I never have any idea what's happening but poking for info seems like spoiler territory.

#GW Asks #Skam #I pulled those recs out of thin air to create an example #Is there a Viewer's Guide posted somewhere for newbies? #Or maybe I just need a fan to sit me down and explain lol
