Game Tips: 10th Birthday Trades

The yearly tradition of picking a free weapon to add to your collection has returned. This year we get a total of 3 picks instead of the traditional one, so it's a great time to pick up some tools you've been slacking on.

In this post I'll break down the various weapon series you can claim and give you some ideas for which are worth it.

I'll be listing only the ones that are harder to get, as in my opinion, you get the most value from the skip by not having to farm, rather than the weapon being the best.

At the end of the day, if a weapon is incredible but also easy to farm, you might as well just go get it rather than waste your precious skip tickets on it, right?

For info on how to farm weapons, see this post.

When picking weapons, check the Advanced Grids page on the wiki for the respective element for what uses they see before making a choice. You can also reference my What to Farm guide for my personal breakdowns. I'll be offering a lot of choices here, and which one(s) are best for you will fully depend on what you currently have.

You have an entire year to make your pick here, so if nothing strikes your fancy, you can just hold onto the ticket until you find yourself in a pinch missing something.

Worth noting that Magna 3 will be coming out soon, so the usability of any given weapons may heavily fluctuate. It's up to you to decide whether you want an immediate upgrade or to hold off on future changes.

Regalia Weapons

For Regalia weapons, it may be worth getting the "M2.5" type weapons. These are weapons that were added to the respective drop pools several years after the original M2 release, and have a much lower drop rate (they also are not affected by purple chest campaigns).

All other Regalia weapons are trivial to farm with minimal time commitment and should not be considered unless you have no better picks.

This denomination encompasses the following weapons:

Nilakantha (Fire)

Spirit of Mana (Water)

Godsworn Edge (Earth)

Coruscant Crozier (Wind)

Pillar of Flame (Light)

Zechariah (Dark)

Ancestral Weapons

Ancestral weapons still see a reasonable amount of use in grids these days, making them a decent "B-tier" pick. It's worth noting these do not come with any AX attached, so they're going to be weaker than the ones from the raids. Should you get an AX one after, you can apply it to the fully uncapped weapon, so it's not a huge deal.

Low priority but can be okay if you really need one now and don't have the ability to farm them immediately. Not personally recommended but you can defintely get a lot worse.

Malice Weapons

Colomba is a decent slot filler that is entirely superseded by Schrodinger. If you're low rank and find yourself playing charge attack based water setups, it's Okay. Not my ideal recommendation but it can help fill a slot if, once again, you got nothing else you're eyeing.

Obs: Majestas is essentially useless these days outside of incredibly niche usability in high end raids. Chances are if you're at a point you'd even consider using a Majestas in the first place, you already have several. Don't pick.

Menace Weapons

Agonize is still good. Yes, you absolutely can just grab two copies of it here and never have to touch the raid again.

Agonize is absolutely not a must-have for every setup as it was on release, but it's still a fantastic pick if you find yourself running any skill damage based compositions. Probably one of the most popular picks in here overall and for good reason.

None of the other Menace Weapons see any amount of use you'd ever want to trade for.

Fenrir/Cerberus Weapons

Honorable mention here to Cerberus Order as it's seeing some high-end use in Dark Rapture Zero.

Chances are if you're reading this and this usecase matters to you, you either already have one, or were already in the process of making one. Do not buy, I just thought it was an interesting nod.

Don't get Fimbul either, you can make one for free with pendants if you really need it.

Do Not Pick

Do not pick weapons in the following series:

Xeno

Primal

Olden Primal

Epic

These do not come with AX skills (when applicable) and are trivial to farm indefinitely due to being endlessly repeatable free quests. Not recommended.

Ennead Weapons

These come at level 1 awakening, meaning you still have to go farm the bosses for more anima to actually get them to a useable state. Chances are by the time you get enough anima you got several dupes already.

Proven Weapons

Proven weapons before 5-star with awakening have been rendered entirely useless these days. As these do not come with materials to uncap, and you can't get the materials to uncap outside of the event, they're essentially dud picks.

Six Dragons Trade Ticket

Warning: This ticket expires April 10th. Make sure to claim it in time.

Don't claim this until the last day as you can dupe the one you pick on Roulette.

Afterwards, either pick one you don't have already if you wish to strengthen another element or pick one for your main.

These are essentially useless for magna aside from their call, and they can be suptixed, so the value and commitment is low. Not much to say here.

(edit, thank you Ittousei for pointing this out) Wilnas and Fediel's calls can one-shot the Campaign Exclusive Quest by themselves at 0-star. This is a useful niche to have if you're a new player with no good way to handle grinding that yet and don't have any other preference here.

Superlative Weapon Trade Ticket

Warning: This ticket expires April 10th. Make sure to claim it in time.

Toughie.

I'm going to preface by saying Superlative Weapons are, in 99.9% of situations, dead. They've been buried hard by power creep over the years, and the final nail in the coffin was the release of Illustrious. Even farmable weapons often clear them in many places.

I'm going to tell you which uses they currently see right now, but I think you'll notice the pattern that all of them are very high end. These are weapons you use as a "cherry on top" of an already busted grid. Trying to force one of these on a grid that sucks will likely make it suck more, to be frank.

Similarly to the Six Dragons ticket, I also recommend waiting on the last day, as the value of the picks here may alter based on new content or roulette pulls.

Chances are most of the following suggestions don't apply to you, and I don't believe any one beyond these is "worth it", so if you have no legitimate usecases, pick the one you think you'd have the most fun with.

Excalibur

Lyria wasn't kidding, this is a good deal - at least within this context. All six Excaliburs see some use.

The Light one sees use as it provides the highest available Bonus Damage on CA for Relic Buster, and it was used in the fastest setups last Light advantage Guild War. Pick if you're a Florence gamer and only for GW.

All 5 other Excaliburs see use in Chrysaor setups in Hexachromatic Hierarch. Hexa has "Deal 2m Damage Hits X Times" omens, which are easily broken by Excalbur when using Deuce Xiphos, as you can auto attack for 4 million. This requires a very high end setup, and is a binary check (either you hit 2m or you don't).

Dark Excalibur also sees some use in Full Auto Cosmos, once again with very strong grids. This setup is unstable and doesn't always hit blue chest.

Hercules

Do not listen to Lyria, she is LYING to you. This weapon is way past its prime and absolutely buried for any relevant content. Fun weapon, would not recommend as a strong pick to anyone, ever.

Gae Bulg

Its damage cap up doesn't stack with any other, making it immediately useless on any good grids. Also, crit is falling off. Don't.

Damascus Knife

The third skill on Dama Knife is interesting for some incredibly niche setups that absolutely want the echo for Hits omens. I saw an insane Dark Rapture Zero grid with it the other day.

You probably don't want it unless you're already super deep in the weeds with these. The drop rate buff isnt worth it, just run The Storyteller instead, it's free.

Caduceus

You don't need this. No, it's not a good Manadiver mainhand, Manadiver wants to play with CA off to maximize its nukes.

Mjolnir

Freikugel

Similarly to Gae Bulg, the supplemental here doesn't stack with any normal grid sources. Don't.

Sky Piercer

Sky Piercer still sees some niche "best-in-slot" usage in some elements. It suffers from a similar issue to Gae Bulg and Freikugel, as its teamwide echo will not stack with most other common grid/passive echo sources. (The MC-only echo is unique and stacks with everything, though)

Still, it is worth considering if you're really deep into an element and already tend to play Luchador in it often (or are banking on a good Row5 version). Otherwise, it's likely to just rot in your stash.

Ullikummi

Fascinating weapon in that it's, in most cases, the best harp in the game, and yet in most cases, also entirely useless, as harp classes suck for any content you'd really want to minmax in.

When it's good, it's good, but it rarely gets a chance to shine. Maybe decent if you're a FA Lumberjack lover.

Similarly to Sky Piercer, this weapon may end up getting some great usability with a good Row5 harp class, so it may be a decent pick if you wish to futureproof an element you love.

Special shoutout to Water Lumberjack in Dark Rapture Zero going insane with this weapon too.

Ameno Habakiri

Far too unreliable to be any useful. Buy it if you want to meme like crazy, don't otherwise.

Revans Weapon Trade Ticket

Warning: This ticket expires April 10th. Make sure to claim it in time.

Given our current knowledge, these weapons come with no awakening. This means that even after you grab one, you'll have to go the respective raid to finish it.

No matter which you pick, they'll be paperweights when picked from the ticket. If you're sub rank-200, you'll never get any value from these no matter which you pick.

Please do not use unawakened Revans weapons in your grid, you will tank your DPS. Once again, I'm floored at Cygames' insistance on giving players Revans weapons with no awakening. Terrible reward overall in my opinion.

In the event that somehow, through some miracle, these weapons come with Awakening materials, disregard the previous point.

Alas, I'm still here to give advice, so assuming you can play the raids these come from and you can awaken them:

Extinction Blade: Decent in ATK and DEF as a strong stat stick on either side. Works great at one copy, good pick.

Schrodinger: Probably the best pick here, as hosting Diaspora is incredibly accessible and can be done with lower end grids. Even one with ATK awakening is a great upgrade to CA setups.

Sette di Spade: Sette works on a compounding effect. Having just one in your grid is a waste. Worth getting if you want to fast track another and have a few made, but not worth if it's your first.

Fang of the Dragonslayer: Best-in-Slot in ATK for great damage potential. Very strong choice, but make sure you have enough sustain to outlive the Damage-over-Time effect, or you will die.

Symmetria: Primal-only High Difficulty weapon. Chances are if you need it you already have it.

Forbidden Agastia: Very strong ATK weapon for magna and primal alike, especially in unboosted situations. Also a strong pick.

Conclusion

Phew, that was a lot. A lot of this info came out yesterday on the stream, so I had to rush to get this out with a decent amount of research.

While I did ask people to review this before posting, there's likely to be some issues here and there with something I missed. The game is complex enough even a small peer review commitee will miss things in such short notice. If you know of any information/setups I missed that changes the values of things mentioned here, please do let me know.

Thank you as always for reading.

hi sorry to bother you. I just wanted to request an nct dream scenario for when their s/o scratches their back? Preferably with extra fluff 😅

How Nct Dream react when their s/o scratches their back

Oh my god anon that's so cute 😭😭😭 I had to write one for each member when I saw this!

I tried to make each members story unique and different so you might not like some of them but I hope it's still a good read ♡

Warnings : tooth rotting fluff, sad mark, minor injury? (Jeno fell off his bike), I didn't proofread this!! I wanted to write this for this anon but I've got exams soon

Genre : Nct Dream x gn!reader

Mark

It was when he was half asleep, he had a really bad day today and all he could think about after a bad day was being clung to your side with his head on your chest, enjoying your soft touch which sends his stomach spinning. You've got your arms around him as he starts to quietly sob, you slowly run your fingers along his back, grazing your fingernails gently on the thin fabric of his loose black tee. 'I'm not too sure what happened today to make you feel like this, but just know I'm always here for you when you need me ok?' A muffled 'ok' is all you get out of the stuffy nosed mark as you wipe his tears and kiss his forehead. He lowers his head as your hands make their way to his back, 'want to talk about what happened today?' You feel the vibration of his throat as he humms. 'Well, everyone and everything is just reminding me how uncapable I am, of a lot of things really. I just keep messing everything up. I feel like I'm not good enough and I just want to give up'.

'Well I'm not too sure what Mark you know, but my boyfriend, the Mark lee I know is amazing in every possible way.' You say with a warm smile on your face as your fingers start rubbing his back, slowly turning into a soft scratching motion which Mark loved the feeling of; he appreciated you so much. 'He's also very talented, and very very smart.' You scratched his chin and with that his eyelids slowly start to become heavy. Hearing your sweet affirming words had him feeling much better, the light scratch was a new feeling and he loved every second of it.

Renjun

You were just chilling on the bathroom stool while he was bathing carrying out your usual stalking behaviours of following your boyfriend who you so much adored absolutely everywhere. You had been showing him funny tiktok videos you've found while scrolling along your for you page for the past hour. 'Since you forced the door open, you might aswell be useful' you raise your hand to your chest as you acted shocked and hurt. 'Since your here, please could you wash my back for me? I can't reach too easily since I have suuuch broad shoulders' you roll your eyes but are totally loving the idea. You grab his pink loofa and squirt some of your expensive bubble bath formula onto it and begin to clean his ' broad' shoulders and back, covering every inch with the velvety pearly white bubbles. Ditching the loofa, you carress and lather the soap into his back in circular motions, you begin doing the same circular movement on his back with your nails gaving him a mini nail massage. He moves closer to the edge of the tub so you have better access, 'that feels really nice' he says with s smile on his face, slowly closing his eyes; you then gently wipe away the bubbles from the hairline on the back of his head and tell him to move to the middle so you can wash all the bubbles off. You scoop up water and drench his back with water from his shoulders down, bringing your hands down in carressing scratches along with the water. You give a chaste kiss to his nape while scooping up some bubbles into your hand secretly, he turns around confused at the sudden kiss and to his surprise, you bring out your secret weapon, spreading them onto his chin like santa; lauging like a maniac at the ridiculously serious expression spread across his face for someone rocking a bubble beard. 'Oh it's on' he declared while grabbing a handful of bubbles and slapping them onto you face, laughing hysterically at how fast your smile faded. 'HEY!' You exclaim almost falling into the tub trying to grab him 'I promise you I'll remember this, so don't forget what you did today.' You grimace as you wipe yout face with his face towel and throw it at him, walking out leaving the door open so all the warm air can escape before he can make it out the tub. 'Baby- I'm-I'm sorry!' He yells between his uncontrollable laughter, you're just too sickeningly cute.

Jeno

He had a bike accident (consisting of driving his bike down a ramp and forgetting to break, crashing into the wall and some how landing ontop of his bike on his back) which he insists hurts way more than it sounds. He claims he doesn't need to go to hospital and communicates to you the importance of you giving him a massage and that that's all he needs. So today, Prior to your scheduled 'make Jeno feel better-cuddle-sesh' (named by him) you planned to give him a nice muscle relaxing massage following the tutorial you watched on youtube shortly after you recieved his phonecall sharing the 'horrible news' and making plans on how you're gonna make him feel better. You had prepared some candles for him and when he came through the door, you gave him a tight hug around the waist and grabbed his hand dragging him to the sofa, he follows along scraping his feet along the floor pouting his lips. You lead him to the couch where you took off his coat and felt around his back as he winced in pain. 'My baby's really hurt hmmm' you frown. You practice what you learnt from youtube, losely following the circular hand movements from the tutorial, he groaned in approval, he made it seem like a joke but he really was injured. You instruct him to take off his shirt as you hurry to your feet to grab an an ice pack from the freezer. You sit down next to him and he rests his chin on your thigh, you smoothed the pack of frozen peas along his bruised back. You then start to skim your nails lightly along to soothe the pins and needles from the contact with the cold pack. You could feel his tense muscles start to relax. 'You always know what to do to make me feel better'

Jaemin

Jaemin walks through the door with a grin on his face happy to see you,he rushes to the couch you're lying on, gently sitting next to you and he softly peppers kisses all over your face 'aaa! You're so cute, let me take care of you' he says, lifting your head onto his lap and carressing your hair. You block his hands and sit up, to stare at him with a serious expression 'no, today, I'm gonna take care of you.' You say straddling his lap and cupping his face, squishing his cheeks to the point where his eyes close and pressing a short sweet peck on his stretched out lips. 'What are you going to do' he barely makes out as you're still squeezing the life out of him, lowering his hands to rest on your hips. You swing your legs around his waist to hug him on his side with your back facing the longer side of the couch, wraping your arms around his neck and pulling backwards causing him to topple over and land on top of you. 'Move down u idiot' he obeys squirming down the couch and his legs are sticking up into the air from the knees down due to the couch's arm rest. The couch obviously isn't big enough for the two of you but he's not going to ruin your moment. 'I'm gonna take care of you' you kiss his temple and start carresing his back leaving small scratches as he took in your sweet addictive natural scent 'I love you' he mumbles against your arm, you leave sweet trails of soft scratches down his back. In your mind you were totally wooing him with your romantic tactics but in reality, this couch was way too small for the two of you and his butt was hanging in the air. But for Jaemin, he wouldn't rather be anywhere else but in your arms. Because this is so perfect and just so you. You decided you're going to take care of him today and he just loves The idea of that

Haechan

He enters your bedroom in your shared appartment where you were sitting up against the headboard, peacefully playing silly little games on your phone when he comes leaping at you; 'babbyy' practically throwing himself onto your still figure, head in your lap, snaking his arms around your waste with his cheek pressed against your stomach. 'Look at meee' your eyes were still glued to your phone as you've almost completed level 30 of doors on roblox. He gives you grabby hands so you put your elbow on his head to move him out of the way so you can focus. He lets you stay like that sighing as you get through door 30 and just win your mini goal 'YES!!' you exclaim happily as you'd been stuck on that level for a while. 'Sorry what were u saying?' He turns over onto his back, 'Give me attention' he says bringing your hand to his lips 'anything for my patient boyfriend' you say cupping his cheeks 'what can I do for you?' 'Can you scratch my back I need your touch right now' you tickle his stomach as if to answer 'of course' and he starts to whine and squirm, then you trace your hands to his hair. He turns back to his previous position with his arms around your waist. 'I want to eat you' as he makes a threatening facial expression pretenting to eat your stomach, you feign a gasp and make a soft scratching motion from his scalp to his lower back. Melting into your touch, his eyes slowly flutter close. In love with the sensation of your touch, he grabs your hand and puts it through the neckhole of his sweater leading you to his bare skin. 'Ah.. I'm seriously in love with you'

Chenle

You two were just coming from the grocery store he dragged you out of bed to 'chenlee I'm so tired of walking I hate you'

'Welllll I can get you a ride?' He replies smugly 'PLEASE THANK YOU MY LEGS ARE ABOUT TO GIVING IN' you say thanking god that you don't have to walk another step. He puts the groceries in his hands onto the floor and kneels down infront of you 'Chuber at your service, the boyfriend uber service' you deadpan at him, walking straight past his ridiculous antics; he giggles as he follows, still on his knees infront of you with that pisstaking grin on his face. You sigh in defeat and wrap your arms around his neck, he retaliates by quickly standing up and sticking his butt out causing you to fling your legs out 'CHENLE'. You can practically hear his cocky smirk as he stands up straight and goes back to collect your groceries 'Chenle I'm far too old to be getting piggy back rides' 'It's keeping the romance aliiive!' You can only roll your eyes. You've got quite a bit to walk until you two can get to your appartment, he's staying over tonight so you went to get his snacks because 'you don't know how to get good snacks' 'Y/n my head itches, can you scratch the left side, my hands are obviously full' you can tell he rolled his eyes. 'It's because your head is covered with dandruff' you retaliate and stick your tongue out. You lightly separate his bone straight dark brown hair and scratch exactly where he needed it, slowly making your way to his nape, reverting to wrapping your arms around his front and scratching his sides which he responds to with laughter and slightly starts to sway 'that tickles' he says between breaths of laughter. You start scratching his upper back and he can feel the soft stroaks through his fabric winter coat, It was soothing. 'That feels really nice.' He almost wanted to close his eyes but he'll have to save that for when he's at your house cozy in your blankets with you in his arms.

Jisung

This baby managed to get sun burnt because he forgot sunscreen yesterday on your vacation with his and your group of friends. Him and his friends had been playing volleyball while your group hit the pool. He got lightly sunburnt so now hes sat imbetween your outstretched legs as you applying some remedy oil to his skin, along with some sunscreen. 'You seriously need to be more careful jisung, you're not a little kid anymore, seriously' he lowers his head and starts tracing shapes on your shin, you lightly copy those shapes into his sunscreen covered back with your nails. 'Ah!' He whined, you give a worried expression as you ask 'am I hurting you?' One hand brought to your mouth for dramatic effect, retracting your hands to rest them on his hips 'no it feels nice, don't stop, I'm just really ticklish on my back' he confessed shyly laughing. 'actually, this feels kind of nice'. Well! You say quickly rising to your feet as a sheepish smile follows, you look ridiculous, time to capture my amazing artwork you say as you make that picture frame motion; closing one eye to look at your masterpiece through your lense, you see jisung has turned around and is staring at you with those googly eyes. You turned quickly to find your phone ignoring the heat rising to your cheeks.

Tysm for reading and thank you anon for giving me such a cute theme to work with!

Asks don't bother me at all I love replying to these so flood ky ask box guys!!

I love you all SOOOOO MUCH mwah!

Hobie

-Medical student reader x Hobie Brown.

-fluff and slight angst

-1.2k words

(Pt 2)

Today's day was an exhausting one. You sat besides the sofa, too tired to even move an inch as your eyes were locked onto the pages of papers Infront of you. You had written the first part of your medical exam today and some genius of a professor decided to make everyone write the second paper on the next day.

In the midst of your inner debate, on whether to be a good student and study like you are supposed too or just take a leap of faith and just wing the second paper( the first one did count more so if you do well on the first one it's basically a pass) you heard a knock on your window.

At first you thought the knock was a pigeon who knocked it's own lights because of it's 'lack to see windows' ,but the knock returned again. This time it was a bit harder and it came accompanied my a familiar voice you knew too well ,Hobie's voice.

You rushed to the window. Hoping over the stacks of paper that once took away your ability to even move a finger.

You uncapped the lock on your window to indeed find out that it was your beloved boyfriend ,Hobie...who didn't look too good.

His mask was torn revealing the lower part of his face. He was clutching his side as he looked to even be struggling to support his own weight. It wasn't unfamiliar for Hobie to do this, to show up injured in your dorm room completely bruised. You once questioned him why he doesn't just go seek medical help at a proper hospital, but he insisted that he only trusts you and hates hospitals.

You stepped aside. Helping support some of his weight as he crawl-walked into your dormitory. "I swear it's just a scratch ,love. Don't worry bout' me!" Hobie groaned roughly as he tossed his mask aside.

Hobie groaned his way next to where your pile of papers were placed. He sat besides them not wanting to sit on the sofa in fear of getting it dirty. You didn't say anything as you walked to the bathroom cabin and took out the medical kit. Walking back to see him lean his body onto the sofa.

"So what was it this time?" You asked getting him a glass of water to go along with the pain-killer pills. Gently lifting his head to wipe the blood that was dried up in his face.

It proves to be difficult as he kept staring at your eyes ,not even answering your question. You shyly glanced at him before quickly focusing back on his wound. Raising your eyebrows in a manner that told him to answer you were waiting for answer.

Hobie's attention was broken by the slight sting of his wound. "Nothing much, just a run-in with a villain of the week." He lets out a small Chuckle,but is quickly replaced with a soft sound of 'ouch' as you rubbed an ointment on his wound.

You remain silent not understanding how he finds his state amusing. You moved away from his face and payed attention to his side. It wasn't a deep cut, it just needed a bit of cleaning and some time to rest then he would be back to his healthy self.

Hobie noticed your silence, his smug smile quickly faded as he noticed the look of concern on your face."Hey, babe, don't stress. It's just a few scratches. I've had worse you know." He spoke softly, his voice filled with genuine affection trying to smooth out your worry. "And I've got you to fix me up, don't I? You're my secret weapon."

You sighed as you took a bandage and gently placed it on his side wound.

"I know, I know, but it's the third time you come to me with an injury this week!" You slightly raised his voice. You didn't mean to, the frustration and worry for his well being were just building up. "You have been really reckless this week."

Hobie looks at you with a mixture of guilt and affection in his eyes. He reaches out to take your hand, his grip gentle yet firm. "I'm sorry, love. I don't mean to worry you, but you know how it is out there. We're fighting for something, for a better world and sometimes, things get a bit messy." He pauses for a moment, his gaze locked with yours. "I promise, I'll be more careful. I don't like seeing you upset."

He brought your hand to his lips and presses a soft kiss to your knuckles. "You mean the world to me, and I don't want to cause you any unnecessary worry."

His words brought you a momentary of relief. He was a superhero after all. You just had to put your trust in him.

"Hey how about we go skating." You proposed an idea to him. It was something the two of you enjoyed doing ...well you enjoyed skating. He was just bad at it but hobie enjoyed watching you have fun. "You can't join me. You'll just sit on the bench and watch my skate."

Skateboarding was one of your many hobbies, a favorite one because it was how you met Hobie. A skating trick gone wrong had you spiraling down the street, bumping into him with his guitar that you unfortunately broke.

"You're not just saying' that to get out of your study work." Hobie eyes the stacks of papers that were sides the two of no.

"No." You replied with a mischievous smile. Looking hobie In the eyes as his face also formed an amused grin.

You and Hobie ended up going to a small park that was east of your university. When you both got to the park, the first thing you did was show him a new trick you learned.

"Okay now watch." You held the board close so it would not roll of.

"I'm watching." He was sitting on the grass. His legs crossed and holding your small backpack between them.

You chuckled at his response. "No watch the board, not me."

"I am."

"No , you're not." You playfully argued back at him.

"How could i not when you're so beautiful ." He complimented you. His eyes not breaking contact with you.

"Hobie-" you were about to sat something, but we're inturpted by his watch ringing.

Hobie's face scrunched up in a mix of annoyance and curiosity as he hears his watch ringing. He looks at you apologetically before checking his watch and answering the call. You could not make out what was being said on the other side of the call.

"Alright, I'll be there in a bit. Just finishing up something with Y/N. Yeah, I got it. Catch you later, man." He ends the call and looks at you, a sheepish grin on his face.

"Sorry, love. Duty calls. Miguel needs some backup for . . . some Spider-Punk business. You know how it is." He stood up and dusted his pants. He was still holding your bag in his hands. He took off his jacket and laid it on the ground before placing your bag on top of it, afraid of getting it dirty.

"I'll make it up to you, I promise. But for now, duty calls." He gently kissed your cheek. Looking at you apologetically one last time before he rushed of to a close location away from preying eyes to open his portal watch.

And you were left alone in the park. You sighed as you held your skateboard close to you and looked at the sun which was starting to set.

One more lap until I go back to studying.

Obey Me Vs TWST Vs Genshin Pulling Methods

Because these are 3 of the games I play the most and they all have a pulling/wishing system. And I wanna rank em.

1st Place - Genshin Impact

Look, I love TWST showcase system, but just in terms of luck, ability to get cool shit, and ease of use, Genshin wins.

It's simple to look through what you can get. You can get cool weapons alongside characters that are actually useful that are also ranked 5 star, and the luck system is pretty cool.

Maybe it's just me, but getting good pulls happens a lot, and there's rarely any wishes that I outright hate or that I get so annoyed with because I can't get something. And if I do get a 5 star character? Even better!

2nd Place - TWST

Yeah, Obey Me couldn't hold a candle to this. TWST was pretty close in beating Genshin, but the luck for TWST isn't as good as with Genshin, imo.

However, the showcases are super easy to look through, I can tell what I'm most likely to get from the showcases, and there aren't a shit ton of different cards that I can get, meaning that I can get doubles and therefore level up that card more.

Also, like Genshin, you can see how many pulls you have done. (Although, with TWST, instead of simply being told how many pulls you need for what, it has a progress bar, which is super nice.) (Also, this is from much later, but while TWST has less cards than Obey Me, they are better quality and have more stuff for the cards, so even if you get a regular card, it's still fun to have because of all the stuff you can do with it besides side stories and fights)

3rd Place - Obey Me

This is for both OG and NM because they basically have the same banner system.

But.... yeah.... Obey Me's banner system kinda sorta sucks. You can see the card you want front and center, yes, but trying to see what else you're likely to get is extremely difficult. Also, the luck on Obey Me fucking sucks, and it's a total cash grab.

Also, there's way too many different cards. I can't even tell you how many times I get new N cards every time I pull, and I've been playing for a long ass time. I rarely ever get a double card, and it's usually only for an N card I already have. (Cause, yet again, the luck system is shit.) (Although, getting gems from the pulls is ok. It's not great, but it's something)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, yeah. This is just my ranking off of personal experience. I can't even tell you how badly I wanted to put TWST 1st, but I had to do what was right and do Genshin just of the luck and pity system.

Edit from later: Also, because I forgot to put this, while you do get a lot of free pulls for the regular banners in Obey Me, you don't actually get the currency to pull from the event banners very often. (I actually haven't gotten the little devil pull thingies in a long while) But in Twst, I can pull maybe once ever week and a half and for Genshin I can pull maybe every three weeks because I can easily get the currency.

(Edit from waaayyy later: There was a reblog talking about how twst pulling was better, and while it didn't really have much else regarding that besides how they personally felt, it did make me think for a minute. So, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe twst does have a better pulling system. Cause every card I've ever gotten off the showcases, I've used. Not just in battle, but in the Guest Room and on the home screen. Plus, if I get a double that I've already got full Uncapped on, I get something I can spend in the store for more backgrounds. So, while I'm in a sensible state of mind, I'm gonna say twst is probably better than Genshin simply because you use all the cards in twst at some point, and I could bet $20 y'all don't even glance at weapons if they aren't 4 star.)

Sis: I haven't seen you play that game in ages. Enjoying it?

Me: Yeah. Never fully beat Xenoblade before, so I wanna see if I can.

Sis: Yikes- what's a level 90 doing in an area full of enemies no more than 20?

Me: Being Immovable Gonzales. I gotta go down and around, using the spire. See?

Sis: Nice. So why haven't you?

Me: I don't want to jump down and potentially die by fall damage, but the map is confusing.

Sis: Huh. Collectable time?

Me: Kinda.

---

Me: Fuck this. I'm jumping.

Sis: I can't believe you actually made it. I heard the switch vibrate. Although... I think this is the first time I've seen you character's health get so low.

Me: Just wait until I get past the marsh. It... won't be for a bit since I want to complete some of the quests I've collected, but yeah. Game gets hard. I think... I never got past the marsh on the wii, but I've heard people bitch about it.

Sis: Is that console I remember you playing it on?

Me: Yeah, during eye therapy.

Sis: Fuck, it's been awhile.

Sis: Wait- why are you going around everything? Wouldn't it be easier to just make a straight line instead of making an S-path?

Me: First- they're level 75. I'm level 31 if I choose to uncap my characters. Second- the icons. The audio icons means they won't attack me if they don't hear me. The eye icons means they'll attack me on sight. No icon means they won't attack unless I do.

Sis: But you walked right in front of those birds earlier with the eye icons and they didn't attack.

Me: Because I'm level 29 and they're level 15-ish. They know they'll get their asses handed to them and let me pass through without complaint.

Sis: Neat!

---

Sis: Ha! Your path is blocked by a cave-in!

Me: ... Fuck.

---

Me: One sec, let's see if I can't put this fucker to sleep- oh. I can't... Hmm...

Sis: You can change who you play as?!

Me: Now... how much effort do I want to put into this stupid thing...

Sis: What are you even trying to do?

Me: Complete both parts of a two-path quest before I turn it in. I got the dynamite, now I just need the rock.

Sis: Holy- this game lets you know when you're about to die?

Me: Yep-o. but, fuck this. I'm going to just damn over the dynamite.

---

Sis: *wheezing laughter*

Me: Fuck off. It's been a couple of months since I last played. I thought the rock and dynamite were a questline where doing one locks the others. This game has those.

Sis: *still laughing*

---

Sis: This place is pretty sparse. Are all towns like this in the game?

Me: Nah. I'm rebuilding colony 6, hence why I'm collectable hunting. Don't want to lock myself out of anything.

Sis: neat-o.

---

Sis: Wait- there's weather?

Me: Yeah! It affects things, too. Like which enemies show up. Time of day does that, too.

Sis: ... Can I borrow this game when you're done?

Me: Just return the cartridge when you're done.

Sis: Deal.

---

Sis: What's Spike III?

Me: A gem I can slot into my weapon or armor for bonuses.

Sis: .... So you turned in a divine rock... for a magical gem? Seems like a rip off.

both my personal blog and my work blog. blanket trigger warning for potential gore, medical distress, drugs, and sex (discussed but not depicted)

keep the parahuman politics to a minimum, im trying to stay as out of that shit as i can

DNI if you are anti-Amy Dallon/Panacea, pro-Cauldron, or a Slaughterhouse Nine fanboy/wannabe

FAQ and commission info under the cut.

FAQ

Q: Wait, so your name is Riley Grace Davis?

A: yes my name is Riley Grace Davis. yes I used to go by Bonesaw. yes I used to be a member of the slaughterhouse nine.

Q: Are you the serial killer that (insert crime against nature here)?

A: probably. i did a lot of those. i dont really REGRET them but i wont do it again i prommy

Q: Are you still a member of the Slaughterhouse Nine?

A: its been 25 years and i legit still get this question like every week. NO!!!!!!! we disbanded when Jack died and I was captured and the apocalypse started. im not involved with any of the copycat killer groups either, they all suck :/

Q: You're a monster, you should be behind bars, you should be dead, you tortured/traumatized/murdered my family/friend/loved one, you were part of the chain of events that started the end of the world, its unthinkable that people like you get to walk free just because you're a parahuman while unpowered people are imprisoned for petty larceny, etc.

A: L+ratio+direct all questions about the amnesty to your local PRT chapter

Q: What's an MDE?

A: medical diploma equivalency, established by the PRT of Earth Bet in 2002 AD. allows Thinker-class capes whose powers give them medical knowledge to obtain licensure to practice medicine without needing to attend medical school. after two decades of pestering the PRT nonstop it was expanded in 24 GM to also include Tinker-class capes with medical specialties in what historians call the "for fucks sake riley shut up, fine" amendment.

Q: What sort of surgeries do you do?

A: i am capable of performing almost any medical intervention, though these days i mostly limit myself to cosmetic body modifications

Q: How do you cope with the unbearable trauma of having had your childhood ripped away from you by a serial killer, your mind filled with unending horrors by a fragment of a cosmic being, and trying to find out who you were and atone for the sins of your past while in the middle of a world-reshaping calamity?

hard drugs, amazing yet potentially unethical and illegal sex with my beautiful perfect wife, and staying silly :3

COMMISSION INFO

i AM open to taking clients currently but i live in New Brockton on Earth Gimel and have heavy travel restrictions as a result of my parole so you'll have to come to me. payment in cash preferred but i also take valuable gemstones or drugs, if they are at equivalent value to the price. (for legal reasons the drug part is a joke.) no cards. or well, no credit/debit. i guess if you gave me a giftcard to somewhere that the food doesnt suck id accept it. unfortunately no insurance plan recognizes me but my rates are very affordable ($50-200 for most standard procedures, up to $400 if unexpected complications arise, esoteric procedure price uncapped and depends on cost of materials, legality, ease of operation, and how interested in the operation i am.)

operations i will do include but are not limited to:

gender-affirming surgeries

therian-affirming surgeries

phantom limb replacement surgery

turning you into your fursona

kemonomimi-fication

tentacle prosthesis

non-lethal flaying

genital enhancement

most body plan restructurings (additional limbs, fewer limbs, wings, organs that you carry in a bag outside your body and are connected to your torso via strange fleshy tubes, etc.)

multi-person conjoinment

hard nos:

creation of any virus, plague, biological weapon, etc.

natural weapons - claws/teeth are okay but no ranged weapons, venom, acid, prehensile bladed spines, etc.

ANY operation on another parahuman - too many chances to accidentally become an accomplice to something

anything capable of reproducing. THIS IS A CONDITION OF MY PAROLE. i am allowed to give functioning reproductive organs but any resulting offspring will be baseline human regardless of the state the parent or parents is in

ANY operation without the consent of ALL parties being operated on. this includes if the party is incapable of giving consent and you are their power of attorney (pets, minors, mentally disabled, intoxicated, etc.)

i reserve the right to refuse any procedure for any non-discriminatory reason or for no stated reason.

if you're still interested let me know and we can work out an appointment. i do not use general anaesthesia so if youre coming over for your surgery i recommend you bring a book or game or something. or we can talk, but for some reason usually people dont want to talk to me while im rearranging their limbs

Or imagine pumpkin carving with sherlock 😂

i’m still thinking about the other idea you sent, but here’s this one for now! i had a lot of fun writing it 🥺

you huff and puff as the monstrous pumpkin weighs heavily in your arms until you finally reach the threshold of sherlock’s flat. “you know, you could’ve helped me carry this.”

sherlock waves you off distractedly as he rummages through the cupboards and cabinets.

you heave the pumpkin onto the kitchen counter and take a breath as your boyfriend continues to search for something. you unbutton your coat and toss it on one of the armchairs before rolling up your sleeves, ready to dive into the halloween festivities. it took an insane amount of convincing before sherlock finally agreed to partake in your childish traditions.

“aha!” he exclaims as he lays out an array of knives in various shapes, sizes, and sharpness. your eyes are immediately drawn to one particularly hefty blade, more like that of a butcher’s knife, that just so happens to have a slight coating of something dark and rusty along the sharp edge.

“sherlock…”

“hmm?”

“what is that on the blade?”

he eyes the knife in question, however, his expression remains neutral as his gaze drops to the dried blood.

“it’s from a case.”

“a case? is that a murder weapon, sherlock? why do you have it in your flat? we’re not seriously going to carve a pumpkin with a piece of criminal evidence?” you shriek.

he rolls his eyes dramatically. “don’t be ridiculous. gary said i could have it to run some additional tests.”

“greg.”

“who?”

“his name is greg, sherlock. you know that.”

his brows furrow in genuine confusion. “is it? hmm.”

you roll your eyes playfully. “you never cease to amaze me, mr. holmes. in more ways than one.”

“thank you.”

a laugh bubbles up your throat at his obliviousness. “so aside from that knife,” you emphasize with a sharp glance to the murder weapon, “how about we get started?”

“i’ve never done this before… how does it work?” he admits bashfully, a rare occurrence for the famous consulting detective who was usually so confident and stubborn.

you bump his shoulder with yours as you reach for a clean knife, immediately taking over by slicing open the top of the pumpkin and removing the stem. “don’t worry, i’ll show you.”

sherlock’s eyes watch carefully as you work, curious and unflinching as you gut the pumpkin and plop a handful of seeds and gooey pulp onto the countertop.

“see? this part is simple. we just need to empty the insides so there’s room for us to make the jack-o’-lantern. want to give it a try?”

a dimple appears in his cheek as he smiles adorably at you and then quickly rolls up the sleeves of his buttoned shirt before digging in, pumpkin pulp reaching his elbows as he scoops out the insides as you instructed.

once the pumpkin is completely empty, you uncap a black marker and plan out the face. “what do you think?” you ask sherlock. “what expression should our pumpkin have?”

“what do they normally look like?”

“well, most have triangle eyes and a nose, and either a smile or frown carved in. but we could try something else, if you’d rather? do you have any ideas?”

he shook his head. “whatever you think is best.”

“okay, how about a smile? just something simple for our first jack-o’-lantern?”

“okay,” he replies softly.

you map out the face in your head and then get to work, tracing two triangles for the eyes, another for the nose, and finally, a jagged smile that looks more frightening than you were aiming for. “how does it look?” you ask as you draw back and admire your handiwork.

sherlock nods his approval, curls bouncing slightly with the movement.

“would you like to cut them out? might be fun for you…” and definitely less gruesome than the experiments he worked on in the flat, is what you didn’t say.

sherlock nods eagerly, a boyish smile lighting up his face as he digs in, cutting into the eyes first. you’ve never seen him so excited for something other than a case, and it was certainly a refreshing change to share this moment with him.

you watch him silently as he goes about the other features of the pumpkin, your heart feeling light and happy as your boyfriend heals his inner child with you.

the two of you finish up the final details, giggling and smiling wide while covered in pumpkin guts. “now we just need a candle to put inside. do you have any lying around?”

sherlock rushes out of the kitchen and returns within seconds, lit candle in hand from who-knows-where, and places it inside the opening before securing the top.

“let’s take it out front, shall we?”

sherlock grabs the jack-o’-lantern and quickly crosses the room, rushing down the staircase and kicking open the door before you can make it down the last few steps. once you join him outside, you see the pumpkin already placed to the side of the door, its grinning mouth flickering in the candlelight that glows around the small space. it makes the doorstep look cozy and festive as halloween soon approaches.

you grab sherlock’s hand and squeeze lightly as he stares at the pumpkin, seemingly lost in thought. “i think this is the best jack-o’-lantern i’ve ever seen,” you say softly and press a kiss to his pale cheek.

he turns to you and flashes a small smile before bringing your hand up to his mouth and placing a tender kiss there. “thank you for sharing this with me.”

Hello hello,

Last year, I made my first and only gbf post of me beating Mithra Malice in the main story. I need you to understand that this game has completely sucked me in

I didn’t randomly stop playing. I kept going at it daily. Grinding grinding, farming upgrading uncapping then going back to the mines for more grinding and farming. And honestly…I love it.

Am I a masochist? Possibly. I play this game so much that I actually overlapped one of the people who introduced me to it (albeit said lerson hasn’t played in a long while).

I decided to do a showcase of the current state of my gbf account. So well…here it is:

Side note: a) Elements with only one grid listed have the same grid.

b) the backlines are really not interesting so I left them out (Just assume that Tien is there)

c) don’t scream. I will uncap the dark opus sword. Getting to that now.

d) Ringed characters? Hehehe. Narmaya and Fediel.

I have been a Narmaya simp since before I got her (got her from the free grand weapon draw).

Well that’s enough of that. I’ll probably post some gbf stuff beside my usual stuff so. Look forward to it ig?

''Humanities are unnecesary and a burden in modern society!'' is a statement that will never be valid, at least not as long as we get takes as moronic as this one.

Losing my mind at this guy. Literally a google search away. They do not even try to hide it. And most people who see this, according to the numbers in the tweet, do agree!

But it gets worse.

Those dumb guys in the primitive americas did not know how to write. Wait, what? What's this?

Wait, what? A mayan king commemorating an HISTORICAL battle by using WRITTEN GLYPHS? B-but they have no sense of time or writting! That must be a fluke!

Mmmh? But...?

A stel portraying a maya queen, with again written symbols mentioning her directly?

''No, those don't count, they're just dumb short phrases, they are surely uncapable of writting down coherent tex-''

Wow, the Dresden Codex, dated from 11th century (mayans were not even at their peak here) writting down their religion, customs, different gods and even complex astronomical movements all-in-one!

Those stone age troglodytes were surely lucky to be able to keep time counts in the thousands of years!

Okay, you're right. Mentioning mayans is cheating because they do not use enough ''actual words'' only drawn ones!

Forget the fact they had a whole ass syllabic system, that experts have been deciphering for decades.

By this rule of thumb, the japanese are all illiterate because they do not actually use words, but abstractions in the form of syllabes. Maya greatest mistake was to do their particles too artistically or something.

The previous tweet implied there was going to be a threat debunking whatever rambling that person was on about, but it stopped there. So... okay.

Regarding the aztecs, that would actually be somewhat accurate. They relied mostly on ideographic writting, but they also combined syllabes. They were still developing their language independently of the mayans. The process was interrupted by the arrival of the spanish crown.

However the writting of the aztecs is stupid and primitive because it doesnt resemble my latin alphabet enough AAAAGH! With such underdeveloped writting they wouldn't be able to write texts, let alone make librar-

Someone else answered, and it's literally the first google result right now, putting this curious image.

I wonder what it's trying to convey.

Solved. It's not a library because... well it's not! It's made of stone and has stupid scribblings stored. It's a nu-library!

How are we going to tell Asurbanipal his assyrian library does not count because it's just not a library, because we need to dunk on the americas?

Forget the books. The real reason they're regressive is because they had no wheel.

They obviously relegated the wheel to toys, because after inventing, polishing it, even using it metaphorically in their intrincate calendars, they decided they didn't know how to use it beyond children toys. It was, again, a skill issue.

Regarding armor and weapons, did you know spanish conquistadores discarded their plate mails and used cotton armor from the natives, far better resistant to rust, and able to disperse slashing and piercing damage with comparable success? Far more comfortable, mobile, and less prone to well, cooking you alive.

How come, also, that Mayas and Aztecs knew each other? They lived in different zones of Mexico with frontiers separated by kilometers? Their trading routes (shared) must have been a stroke of dumb luck.

Apparently if you don't cross the whole ass Pacific/Atlantic Ocean, it does not count. By the way, did anyone in China, India, Africa, Europe or even Australia know about the Native Americans?

Conclussion: If you exclude Mayans, Aztecs, a myriad of other cultures in the Americas, their issolation to the rest of the continents, their set of beliefs, languages, structures, trade routes, traditions, libraries and use of the wheel among some other ''tiny'' advancements... well, you're right. They end being quite primitive.

I guess that's their fault. Maybe they should have conquered us first or some crap.

Those morons and their obscure scribblings.

PD: I excluded this person name in purpose. Do not send harassment to them. This generalized ignorance of America cultures does not radiate from a single person, instead is a shared set of common beliefs. We must combat the biased takes in constructive ways.

"It may look overwhelming and it is", thanks that makes me feel better, that even you think so

But seriously, I appreciate the help

I'll try my best

Said through tears

Thanks again <3

it REALLY is overwhelming though, like, it's a Lot, it asks you to look in a lot of different place, and there's limited events to take into account, this is really not easy.

Personally i know the first time i uncapped an Eternal i had to read and reread the wiki multiple times at every step, and some of them were really confusing. I do hope i can make them sound a little less confusing at least.

but it's just SO much, you really need to divide yourself the task. Like "today i'll focus on the silver relic", "today i'll focus on the rusted weapons", "today--" ect.

Also if it helps you i know personally i have stash dedicated to the Revenant weapons and the Rusted Weapons as i collect them

But, yeah it's overwhelming. For me it is only getting "easier" because i ended up uncapping them all, so by now i've grown used to it. (and the process of reducing the revenant weapons still appears in Transcendance steps, so alas i still have to remember how to do it)

So don't feel bad about how overwhelming it feels, you're not stupid, the whole process is stupid. We try to survive it.

But yeah, i'm holding your hand through it and i hope it will work out for you. Take your time. Approach the mats you need one at a time. Divide yourself the work, ex, if it's too overwhelming to imagine getting 40 (well, 36 in your case since you already have one) Revenant Weapons in one Guild War/DreBarra, take multiple events if you need to.

Just don't stress yourself over it and take it easy. they're the eternals because the grind is eternal. don't beat yourself up when you can't rush through it.

you can do it, with the power of love! i believe in you!!!!

and i'm here for any help you may need on the way <333

what would your strategy in this arena be? (both of you)

i'm so glad you asked. please listen to the old world classic The Climb by Miley Cyrus while reading the following:

I rise up on the podium, looking fantastic in the camp t-shirt, which I've already converted into a crop top, and those cute little athletic shorts which hug my curves just so. The expression on my face is one of optimism and grit. The thought in the audience's minds is, overpoweringly, "Wow, she has what it takes." The countdown ends and I jump off the platform and run away immediately. I do this for two reasons. 1: There is no need for me to suffer. It is not what I was made to do. 2: People will shower me in sponsor gifts.

In this arena I would head immediately to my cabin. There is no Capitol cabin but this is what it would look like. I immediately settle in, listening to the distant sounds of the bloodbath and the cannons going off. The sponsor gifts begin to shower upon me within the first hour, so I set up my new home for the next few days as I do with any vacation house: of course I first check the sheets for bed bugs (there aren't any!), then I put my clothes in the dresser, then I place all my makeup on the vanity. I'm sent some changes of clothes by sponsors and makeup too, as they know I'd die (literally!) without it.

Once everything's in order I decide to do some exploring. A few tributes see me coming out of my tent and decide to raid it, since they can tell it's the nicest. Little do they know that one of the sponsor gifts I was sent is a crossbow, the weapon I'm most excellent at (because I learned it in training a few days ago). I shoot the three of them in the head and go over to see the bodies before they're picked up by the hovercraft. It turns out that these were the remaining Careers.

I forage in the woods for a bit and befriend some of my new forest friends, but I brush up against some poison oak and have to return to my tent to take my sponsor medication and lie down for a bit.

My afternoon nap turns into a long sleep, and I wake to birdsong in the morning. There's a boy at my door, very attractive, and he asks if he can come in. I sit up and rub my eyes blearily. He tells me that he wants to form an alliance. He's from District Nine and is strong; I saw him in training and was impressed by his muscles and nay, not his six pack, his eight pack.

He tells me that all he needs me to do is not fall in love with him. "That's the worst thing for tributes," he says, and I know that he's right, but I also know that he won't be able to stop himself from falling for me. We draw up battle plans which involves me making distractions in various parts of the Arena and then him swooping in for the kill. We kill several tributes in this way, and the rest pick each other off. At night we make a campfire and roast s'mores, then stay up late into the night talking. At first he refuses to sleep in my bed, but one late night, I insist. He does, and we make love. It's beautiful and I am so good and attractive.

The next morning I wake early and do some math to find that we are the only two tributes left. I go to my dresser and remove the lipstick that I was sent which is also a knife. I uncap it and go to his side. I lean down and give him a kiss to wake him, and then I slice his throat. The final cannon sounds and I am crowned the luminescent Victor.

Me, in the Arena? Why, I never...

Cue the music.

I begin by diving headfirst into the Bloodbath. Yes, I know why they call it that, and no, I am not afraid. The way to get somewhere in this world is to take things that don't belong to you and pretend they've been yours all along, and that's exactly what I do. I grab a bag, a sword, a canteen, and a granola bar. I plow over a few tributes in the process. I don't give a fuck.

I wormed my way into the Career pack days ago. How'd I do it? Doesn't matter. A few well-placed admissions of complete falsities dressed up as sincerity here, a few pecks on the lips there. I don't want to go into detail -- a girl never kisses and tells. Anyway, the team and I take over the Cornucopia. I don't see why Career packs don't do this anymore like they did in the olden days. But we have everything we need and more -- and I have a backpack filled with supplies of my own for when shit goes south.

Here's when I start capitalizing on those falsities from before. Little rumors. He said, she said. Turn them against each other. It's so fucking easy. Meanwhile they pick off the weaker tributes so I don't have to. Cannons going off left and right. I could lift a finger, don't get me wrong -- but a girl's gotta use her strengths, and that's what I do.

Eventually the Career pack dissolves. In-fighting based on everything I've told them, all of it completely false, about each other's loyalties or, rather, disloyalties. They kill each other while I'm taking a piss behind a bush.

Then it's up to me to hunt down the remaining tributes. I drown one of them in the lake -- bye bye, Earl. I take Spela on the ride of her life off the top of the high ropes course. You think I didn't have it in me? Bitch, look again. By the time the final cannon goes off I've earned my seat at the top. Cheers in the Capitol will go on for days.

Post Grid!

Okay. Let's do this.

For the next day or so, I'll review your GBF grids submitted via reblogs of this post. Please open the post up for more details.

Submissions are Currently Open. (if this is someone's reblog make sure to check if it's still the case in the original).

Before you Submit

Make sure you've read the @granblue-advisor pinned post. There's info there on how to get started with the game as well as links to most important resources the community has created.

Rules

Rank 120+ only. There is virtually no grid diversity before that rank, and all advice at that point boils down to "just copy Basic Grids".

One per person, so I don't go insane

I may skip some if there's a lot of submissions (the community here is small so I don't think this will come up)

Please include your current rank if below 200, as well as what content you are using this setup in, and how you're doing said content (solo, manual burst, full auto, etc)

You can submit your grid by posting it on granblue.team (no account needed) or via screenshots. If you choose to screenshot it, please include the following:

Your team breakdown, with no skins that may make your characters or class ambiguous

Your weapon grid, with Skills showing (not the weapons' stats!), as such:

Please also include any information that isn't immediately discernable from looking at the images, such as Eternal uncap levels, what Manatura you're using, or what "Star icon" weapon skills your configurable weapons have (in my case I'd say I'm using Ouroboros and have Seraphic on my Ultima Axe)

Summons are optional, especiaially for setups that don't rely on them - but you may also include them if you want me to comment on them or you feel they're relevant to the full picture.

If you want party member recommendations, please include also your available SSR characters of that element - be it via screenshots or a collection tracker link.

Here’s chapter 2 and a link to chapter 1!

Inconstans

Chapter 3

Leave Your Weapon on the Table

“”He needed to tell them

Casey slowly walked into the lair, hands in his pockets, feeling the syringes. He didn’t see anyone in the living room, but heard chatter in Donnie’s lab.

“Hey guys. What’s up?” He said with a fake smile as he walked in. “You are not gonna believe it” raph said to him.

“What?” Casey asked as he went up to them. He saw Mikey and Leo huddled over Donnie. Whilst Leo tried to keep a poker face, Mikey was wiggling with worry.

“Donnie figured out what’s in the mutadrug” Middy told Casey. “I hate that that became a thing” donnie muttered as he clacked into his computer.

Casey’s heart started to race. He tried to keep his voice steady to ask “so what’s in it?”. Casey started to feel sick.

“The mutagen used to make super shredder is the main ingredient” raph answered. Casey’s eyes widened at that response.

Nononono what had he done?

“What?” He asked, feeling like he would vomit. “Casey. Are you ok?” April asked him as she put a hand on his shoulder. “Yeah. You seem really pale” Middy chimed in.

“Yeah yeah. I’m fine I’m jus-“ he couldn’t finish as he felt something come up. “I’ll be right back” he muttered as he ran to the bathroom.

He locked the door behind him and vomited into a sink. He stood up shaky as his throat burned. He cleaned out the vomit with water, but he could’ve sworn he saw specks of blood.

He felt awful. He was shaky and cold and sweaty and weak-

He hadn’t realized he grabbed a syringe until he was uncapping it.

No!

“Hey, Casey. Are you ok?” April asked behind the door. He wasn’t sure how to respond. “Yeah, red. Just a stomach bug” he responded shakily.

“Do you want us to take you ho-“ “no!” He shouted at her, his head starting to hurt. “I can.. I can walk home, red. I just need a minute. Don’t worry.” He told her.

She wasn’t sure how to feel about that. She decided to look at his aura, but didn’t see anything indicating he was lying or keeping something…

Casey opened the door and looked at april. He looked really pale. “Are you sure you don’t want a ride?” She asked as she looked up at him.

“Yeah. I’ll be fine. Nice to see you care, red.” He said with a tired smile. “Someone needs to be” she said to him, causing them both to laugh.

Casey picked her up as he hugged her. “No stop. You’re crushing me” she joked. He put her down. “Hmm” she wondered.

“What is it red?” Casey asked. “Did you get taller?” She asked. “I don’t think so” he responded as he walked out.

Alright. Bye Casey!” She said to him, going to the lab to tell the others where Casey went.

Casey stumbled down the streets, losing his resolve as his home was so far.

He felt ill. His blood ran cold and his head throbbed. He felt the syringe in his pockets.

Why didn’t he give them back?

He sat down in an alley to rest.

Just to get ho-

No!

He saw across the street some muggers harassing a woman. He got out a syringe.

Don’t

You’re too weak

He injected the syringe into his arm, jumping up and running to stop the muggers as he felt the burn of the drug…. And the power in his veins…””

Wrath of the Lich King Classic Blood DK Spec Guide

In this article we will be taking a closer look at the Blood Death Knight specialization in Wrath of the Lich King Classic. We will be exploring the spec’s particularities, gearing and talent build, as well as discussing how to min-max it for end game content.

Blood DKs tank primarily as single-target tanks. To do so, they prioritize Strength, which increases the damage and threat of all abilities.

Hysteria

Hysteria is a good threat timer. It also offers a great parry buff that will greatly increase your survival in most situations.

Throughout the 19th century and early 20th century there was a lot of discussion about female hysteria. Physicians often chose to perform invasive surgery, such as hysterectomies, on female patients.

Today, hysteria is considered a medically unexplained syndrome. It is a part of the somatoform disorders category.

Blade Barrier

With this talent, you summon a wall of blades that damages enemies who enter it. It can be very effective if you manage to set it up correctly.

Blood Death Knights need good armor and self-healing stats, but the other defensive stats can be a little more difficult to get high enough. This is where strength comes in. It increases the damage of all your abilities and helps you survive more often.

Will of the Necropolis

While it may at first glance look like a simple quality of life talent, the fact that Blood gains access to an uncapped AoE stop with no diminishing returns makes this one of our strongest talents. Combined with AMS and the absorb size increases from Gloom Ward, Permafrost and Sanguine Ground this makes for a very powerful combination.

Still worth taking for raid and M+. This talent is a must.

Abomination’s Might

Abomination’s Might is a Blood Death Knight talent that increases the attack power of your party and raid members by a certain percentage. It also increases your own strength by the same amount.

It’s a great choice for anyone looking to increase their physical damage, but it’s less important for dps than the other options on this page. I recommend choosing Rune Tap instead.Access exclusive deals and discounts on WOTLK Classic gold by discover here or exploring our official source.

Endless Winter

Blood Death Knights are very strong tanks with a variety of different builds for both main-tanking and off-tanking. They also have powerful self-healing abilities and do surprisingly high DPS.

However, they are reliant on strong gear due to their low defense stats. They also need to maximize their Hit Rating for spells and melee ability damage.

Dancing Rune Weapon

Blood death knights are a very unique tank that can ignore a lot of mechanics with proper rotation. Haste is a very useful secondary stat for them, but should only be prioritized until you’re comfortable with the rotation.

The Glyph of Death Strike also synergizes well with this talent since you’ll want to maintain 25 runic power before casting your only other runic spender, Blood Coil.

Vampiric Blood

The Blood spec offers plenty of damage-oriented abilities, but also some self-sustaining ones. Glyphs are slowly unlocked as you level up and a few notables include Rune Tap (a self-heal and damage cooldown), Improved Death Strike, Abomination’s Might, and Veteran of the Third War.

45% damage reduction is nothing to scoff at, especially considering all of the magic damage done by caster enemy types that you encounter as a Blood DK tank.

Bloody Vengeance

Blood Death Knights offer some of the strongest self-healing in the game. This, combined with powerful group buffs and a very strong damage rotation makes them one of the best tanks for PvE content.

Glyphs are an important part of the Blood Death Knight’s gameplay, allowing players to augment their abilities. These are slowly unlocked as the player levels up. Some of the most popular glyphs include Glyph of Disease to maintain disease uptime, Glyph of Runic Power Mastery to increase utilised runic powers, and a number of damage-increase glyphs.

Virulence

Blood DKs have a lot of talents to choose from. Hysteria is an essential talent for tanking, increasing a friendly player’s physical damage by 20% for 30 seconds.

You’ll also want to grab 5/5 Anticipation for a 5% dodge chance increase, and Frost to get 3% undiminished miss chance from Frigid Dreadplate. Then take Blade Barrier, which offers a 5% damage reduction when both of your Blood Runes are on cooldown.
