I. STATS

full name: holden theodore newman

gender & pronouns: cis-male, he/him

age & birthday: 26, april 13th, 1997

occupation: journalist

time in nyc: 8 years

II. BACKGROUND

born in new canaan, ct. his mother was a broke socialite (not really broke, she still was richer than the average person but ya know nowhere as rich as before) and a doctor.

back to his mom, she belongs to a very known and old family in the us (think the vanderbilts bc yes that’s the family i based this from) but holden doesn’t really talk about them and really doesn’t know that side of his family well.

his dad, au contraire, had humble beginnings and worked hard to pay his way through college and med school. they met in 1994, at the hospital he worked at and well they fell in love and holden was born 3 years later.

was the perfect mix of his parents’ personalities. he share his mom’s love for art and his father’s thirst for knowledge. overall, he was very curious and sensible kid.

not the most committed student. he was always living in his own world, dreaming of the worlds he read in books or watched in films. however, he was naturally smart and so he did good at school.

death tw: his father passed away when he was eleven years old and from that moment on it was as if something within him died as well.

holden and his mom drifted apart after that since none of them knew how to share their grief with the other.

his mom began spending a looooot of money. so much that made holden anxious and he used to go to bed thinking about the family’s finances which, ya know, no thirteen year old should be concerned about that.

matured very fast, pretty much missed his teenage years and couldn’t wait to go to college and idk being thirty, flirty and thriving.

attended university in columbia where he majored in literature.

holden always loved writing and researching. he started in high school and later decided to study literature and journalism in college. after graduating, he tried to get a job with the new york times but didn't succeed.

struggling to become an on-air reporter, holden asked a friend for help, and they made a fake press pass. he sneaked into important events, recorded news reports, and sent them to networks in the hope of getting a break. this led to an internship at cnn. in the last three years, he moved up quickly and is now a reporter and writes a column for the new york times.

III. PERSONALITY

if you are into personality tests and all that stuff here’s the tea: intj, type 6 (enneagram), type a, phlematic (temperament), lawful good, aries, ravenclaw.

cynical idealist, skeptical by nature, covertly hopeless romantic, walking paradox, inadvertently tactless.

has a very quixotic personality and even if he tries to conceal it, he still daydreams a lot.

he is still very sensible not even life can take that away from him so please no one cries in front him or he will leave so he doesn’t cry and start a vicious cycle of crying. no one wants that.

a worrier. he worries about everyyything and he just can’t help it which makes him a bit uptight.

very organized, i guess some could say, he’s a bit neurotic.

competitive so don’t invite him to trivia night

wouldn’t say he’s shy but he is indeed very reserved and rarely talks about himself.

extremely critical and most of his criticism is directed at himself but he can be a bit judgmental but never with malice.

dry, dark and sarcastic sense of humor that sometimes is not welcomed. especially because he’s very tactless so he doesn’t have that comedic timing so it comes across as questionable. the type that makes him go like “it’s a joke btw” and people just awkwardly laugh and walk away.

actually fun to be around when he feels comfortable or stress free aka once a year.

IV. PLOTS IDEAS

they’re closing the bar and they want us to leave: holden doesn’t even know how he became ‘friends’ with this person as they don’t have many interests in common. somehow, when this person gets too drunk to drive calls holden to help them and since he can’t really say no, he always complies.  with nico

i’ll tell you the truth, but never goodbye: he struggles to keep close relationships as he is the kind of friend who will leave you on read for weeks or decline plans every weekend. however this person has always been there, even when it seems he’s trying to push them away. maybe they haven’t said it out loud but actions speak louder than words and these two are best friends. with grey

do you have the time to listen to me whine?: i guess his mom gave him that name because somehow she knew he would like to complain about many things. so this person could be the one who is there to tolerate all his rambling and at the end give him some advice. holden considers them good friends as he usually is not this chatty unless he feels comfortable around someone. 

we locked eyes from a distance, so close but i missed it: i wouldn’t say holden has a crush on this person but he’s definitely intrigued by them. they run into each other often but either holden avoids the conversation or he keeps it short even when he’d rather do the opposite. 

they’ve been sayin’ you’re sophisticated: he has tried to keep this as a secret, to the extent of lying about where he grew up. maybe this person met holden back when he lived in the us or their family knew holden’s mom. idk the details but hopefully you get the idea. with yesenia

school yard conversations taken to heart: he grew up mostly in connecticut but after his father passed away he and his mother moved back for a couple of years to new york. maybe they went to the same school and idk connection from the past pretty much.

do you know what it means when you think on a screen?: pretty much they matched on a dating app and they’ve been talking for some time but they haven’t really met in person yet. it’s not really romantic but they have a connection (could become romantic tho depends on chemistry) with yildiz

the devil’s in the details, but you got a friend in me: while he’s not a social butterfly, in the past year he has formed a small group of friends and he feels comfortable around them to let them see more of his personality.

i wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking as we moved together in the dark: maybe it all started as a hook up and it evolved to a friends with benefits sort of situation. maybe the other person started to get feelings but to holden is was purely physical. he tried to force feelings for this person but it simply wasn’t there and now they ended up in bad terms.

i know your heart belongs to someone you’ve yet to meet: maybe they dated a few years ago (we can work out the logistics) and he was very into this person and thought it would become a serious thing but then he moved to london and the distance made him realize that his feelings were not as strong.

right where you left me: the opposite of the previous idea. pretty much the roles reversed and it’s them who left holden with really no explanation.

everybody wonders what it would be like to love you: holden had a massive crush on this person. sometimes they talked but he never told them anything. he might still have some feelings for them but it’s nothing but the leftovers of an unresolved crush. with eloise

you wouldn’t be the first renegade to need somebody: this could be a friendship that could turn into something more kinda connection. it could be angsty idk. but pretty much this is someone that wants to get to know holden or at least become friends but he keeps putting these walls between them even if he really enjoys their company.

friends don’t get chills with every accidental touch: they’ve been very good friends for some time and they are comfortable with each other, so comfortable that it seems there’s something else there. with moira

indie stuff: boardland

cute dice board game. link here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2735620/BoardLand/

[this game is completely free]

the music and art set the really cozy vibe of the game

this type of tutorial is kinda great, works really well for a turn-based game. lacks a bit of flair and flavor but i like how straightforward it is

cute sitting sprite

oh hey, it was published on my birthday

overview

boardland is a turn-based combat dice- board- game where you fight monsters. it's a pretty short game, i got through one run and credits rolling in 30~ minutes, but seems the monsters might be randomized for every playthrough? gonna check again just to be sure.

there's uh not really any story as far as i can tell, so let's just get to the

mechanics

combat takes place entirely on this board. you can upgrade it by using dice while on a tile, sometimes changing the base action of the tile (fire > attack, earth > defense, water > heal). it's got roguelite elements too so, it's what you'd expect, items and blessings. potions aren't too difficult to come by, and a playthrough is short enough that you can be liberal in using them

a player turn consists of you moving, then taking dice actions. you can only use multiple dice on a tile if they're in increasing order (2 > 3 > 4, for instance), otherwise, you have to move to use another action. you draw 5 dice every turn, and leftover dice are discarded. sometimes it seems you can use an action dice at the start of your turn immediately, but sometimes you can't..? i'm a bit confused but it might be dependent on whether you used an action last turn or not

now, by using a set number of dice, you can level up a base tile to upgrade it (its 3 dice for the first level up). this gives you bonus actions, and synergizes with the elemental dice you can find sometimes. this gives you a way to customize your board depending on your playstyle and build.

additionally, every other turn a random event occurs. you have to land on the tile to activate 'em. same goes with curses that enemies sometimes do. if something on the board only needs you to make contact with it, it'll say in the description (like enemy spawns)

the game punishes you for taking too long by giving most (if not all) enemies a passive that increases their stats every 10 turns. this did not become an issue for me (except for that one tedious round where i got to 10 turns because i kept messing up my actions)

you can get buffs and debuffs too. there was one where i was supposedly able to use two dice on one tile or smth, but it was either poorly worded or broken bc i could never proc it. there's a confusion debuff that sometimes makes you move backwards too. the main way to get debuffs on enemies is by using elemental dice on their corresponding tile

OH i completely missed the reroll mechanic, you can spend gold to reroll one of your dice, kinda handy, i suppose? gold is rarely used anyway

aesthetics

this game is pretty slow paced, not to say it can't get challenging, and while i'm more of a fan of faster games, i found this one to be relaxing to play. i'm gonna do one more run before finishing this up.

the music is extremely cozy. even when a bit frustrated, i couldn't find myself getting too worked up, i like it

i enjoy the artstyle as well, the monsters and the player character all have a soft and charming vibe about them (except that frog in berserk mode, pictured earlier, i like that too). very cute!

misc

gimmick fight, i respect it.

another gimmick fight, the reroll mechanic is especially useful here if you wanna fight more efficiently, especially since the opponent just sits there until the tiles get locked (i died bc i didn't realize my health was too low (oh, you can load up the autosave and retry, neat))

closing thoughts

i could honestly see myself spending a lot of time on a fully fleshed out adventure mode for this game. i'm super engaged by the mechanics, and with a bit more content there's room for a lot of strategy in this kind of game. different board lengths, branching paths, character skills.

i already enjoy board-based games a ton (stuff a la mario party or 100% orange juice) and also dice as cards in games (die in the dungeon, is the most recent and only example to come to mind (i haven't played library of ruina yet) i should write about that, i enjoyed the demo and i need the full game) so this game is very much my thing

if the game sounded like fun, give it a try, it is completely free

[literaphobe]

im gonna be honest i have no idea how pink16 were so massively underrated by people i remember people predicting they’d place low and was like????? u realise this team has DREAM and SEAPEEKAY right??? that duo in and of itself is super strong. but bad and finn are also not bad players, they got lucky in the sense that bad had a terrible mcc14 (like how yellow24 got lucky skeppy had a terrible mcc14 too)

its bc on paper there were other teams w strong duos too, or teams where it seemed like every player could realistically place top 20, or teams where everyone is very experienced. just for reference sake, here’s some of the teams in mcc16:

- punz, tapl, captainpuffy, shubble

- quig, krtzyy, jack manifold, nihachu

- fruit, grian, smajor, smallishbeans

- antfrost, fundy, tubbo, 5up

- hbomb, georgenotfound, captainsparklez, ponk

- tommyinnit, ranboo, philza, wilbur

so, as you can see, there were other teams with ‘strong duos’ too such as punz and tapl, quig and krtzyy. now, hindsight is 20/20 and everything, and someone might be like ‘oh but clearly dream and cpk is the strongest duo out of these 3’ but at the time this was def not true

quig, dream, and punz are all S tier. tapl had gotten literally SECOND PLACE in mcc15, the literal PREVIOUS event. krtzyy was 5th in mcc14, and then 3rd the event before that. meaning tapl and krtzyy were top 3 placing potential players. HOWEVER, at the time, cpk had never been top 5 before, and had only been top 10 ONCE the event before. which was when he was teamed with SAPNAP AND PUNZ. so if you were like some redditor at the time you’d assume he would easily fall out of top 10 without them on his team, esp w two weaker players instead of one. ERGO, that is why people predicted punz and quig’s teams higher prior to the event. Because to them, it made sense based on the stats at the time

im not even gonna talk about the op duo on fruit’s team. because fucking every one of them could conceivably be the ‘op duo’ on any team. how the FUCK this team was allowed is beyond me. dream has literally never been on a team like this. that is why for canon events for 4/5 of the dodgebolts he’s been to his team has always been in second place. and the one time he was first was a survival games finale, and before that the team was in 4th place. they were not dominating the event lmao!! dream’s always had to fight tooth and fucking nail to get into dodgebolt in canon

anyway now let’s get to the ‘no weak player’ / ‘dominant trio’ teams

ant fundy tubbo team was a team w 3 players where they had each gotten 15th, 7th, and 9th the previous event. their weakest player, 5up, was still top 30.

hbomb, george, captainsparklez. hbomb had been 7th in mcc14, and the team composition was very similar to this team’s, w no S tier and even players who could potentially place bottom 30. if wisp, smajor, hbomb, and solidaritygaming could place 2nd in mcc14, there was no statistical reason why this team just Couldn’t. and captainsparklez was 13th his last mcc, mcc15, where he made dodgebolt. george was a player who had placed top 10 before prior to mcc16, and was a good pvper. ponk was new, but this team still had 3 good players which can be extremely op, sometimes stronger than teams w S tiers

for red team, wilbur and ranboo had just played mcc15 together where they placed 10th and 14th respectively. tommy was 17th in mcc15, but in mcc14 he placed 9th, and had always had top 10 potential, as did philza, who had an insane s1 track record, and was 15th in mcc14. in mcc15 he was 22nd but 22nd being your WEAKEST player is still very strong, so people predicted this team high too

on the flip side, at the time finn had 3 mccs played and placed 36th, 33rd, 30th. bad’s one event had him at 34th. people basically saw this, compared w other teams’ players having higher placements, and decided dream wasn’t a dominant enough S tier and that cpk wasn’t a cracked enough right hand man to bring them to dodgebolt. and they were wrong, but pink mcc16 didn’t dominate all the way through. they had a good-ish game order, and they popped off at games that people didn’t expect them to pop off in, such as ace race, and honestly that game is what brought them in contention for dodgebolt. it’s literally just about good game order. they were lucky they got to play parkour tag and tgttosawaf, which were games they were good in. they were hardworking enough to train for games such as ace race, and they were lucky dream clutched up SoT w sand and they didn’t get locked out. they were also lucky SG was played early or they could’ve been out of dodgebolt. they were lucky build mart didn’t screw them over too much. etc etc etc

basically, NOW it looks so obvious that dream and cpk were a cracked duo and that bad and finnster are good players, especially evidenced by the fact that finnster has gone on to win yet another dodgebolt in mcc23 and that bad has top 20 potential. but you can’t look at the stats before the event and claim ‘yeah this team is so obviously strong and making it to dodgebolt’ when the stats said otherwise. all you could’ve pointed out was that bad is an experienced minecraft player despite not being the strongest pvper and that finnster’s statistically good at parkour tag which would’ve been useful in that game. 16th is still bad’s highest individual placement of all canon time and in his next canon event, he placed 36th, which was even lower than his debut event placement. so mcc14 was a more realistic reflection of bad’s regular placement in mcc than mcc16 was. if anything, mcc16 is so clearly bad’s outlier when he most commonly places bottom 10. so, no, dream doesn’t get teammates that are a dodgebolt guarantee, even when he makes dodgebolt. he is just genuinely without a doubt… a good leader. cpk got top 5 for the first time teaming with him, finnster got 23rd, breaking out of bottom 10 for the first time, and bad was 16th which is miles above his 34th placement in his debut event

The Hex characters but if they were scrybes bc i have been thinking about this

More gameswap content anyways ive been thinkin abt what type of scrybe each The Hex character would be so I am. Putting them down here. Plus any other relevant info on these fuckers. Some get canon scrybe types some dont, for various reasons

Weasel Kid: Scrybe of Beasts

Taking Leshy's role as the Scrybe of Beasts (headpats the boy), SWK is the youngest of the six scrybes. Instead of using a camera though, SWK kinda gets Grimora's whole 'write up about the card' gimmick, except it's all digital. Yes that's a ref to the steam reviews. Anyways, yeah, he writes up about the card. The 'rating' transfers into cost (which is still blood, though if he was game master, he'd probably introduce a mechanic that has to do with coins), and any stats + sigils would be based on what he writes up. His cards are VERY chaotic and random in nature, bc he's all over the place. Mr. Shrewd, Mr. Squarrel, and Catarina are his subordinates, though they're more like his parental figures that anything. His map is just grasslands, the fields covered in hills, flowers, the little cottage SWK, Mr. Squarrel, and Mr. Shrewd live in, and the small hut Catarina does her studies in. She's currently researching the OLD_DATA. Mr. Shrewd can be used as practice, providing helpful tips to the player in order to help them. Though once you defeat SWK, Mr. Shrewd can't be found, and Mr. Squarrel is no longer available to chat with.

Chef Bryce: Scrybe of Strength

Having had his scrybe type be changed during the beta stages of development due to his last one being too boring/difficult to flesh out, Bryce got swapped to the Scrybe of Strength, his map and subordinates changing (he previously only had 1 subordinate given to him before things were changed. He misses her). His gimmick is that for each card you beat, you gain a point, and the higher amount of points you got, the better cards you can use (like how in cax it's first one to 3 points/matches won wins). His subordinates consist of Bhakto, Alley Gator, and Steambot Willy, and the player's able to meet some other, minor characters around his island that serve no purpose but to help the player practice their gameplay/strategies/whatever. The nicest of the six scrybes. His map is various different fighting arenas all sloppily attached together. Rebecha shows up as one of the minor npcs, though only chats, never fights. Someone else lurks behind a door Bryce keeps locked up. Not out of malice for this person, but for care for everyone else in the game and in the real world. All his cards start off blank, and get upgraded as they're used.

Chandrelle Stormblaze: Scrybe of Time

Chandrelle stays at the top of a tower, similar to Magnificus in the canon Inscryption. there's five layers to the tower. The base floor, the Dragon's floor, the Sphinx's floor, the Kraken's floor, and the basement. The Dragon represents the past, using cards based on events in historical events and mythology. You know, like dragons and stuff. The Sphinx represents the present, though doesn't,,,actually fight you. She just throws riddles at you (like in Secrets of Legendaria) until either you lose, or she runs out of questions. The Kraken represents the future, though like The Sphinx, isn't actually interested in card games, her battle instead being more like a dating sim (if u know, u know). Chandrelle hates all of her current subordinates. She used to have different ones, but now one's dead, one's a scrybe, and one's locked up in the basement because he tried to kill everyone on the islands and cause absolute mayhem. And also she just doesn't like him. Her gimmick is that she uses magic to create the cards, often making cards up on the spot, overall kinda just. Bugging out the game.

Rust McClain: Scrybe of ???

No one,,,actually knows what he's supposed to do. Not even himself. His map is like a wasteland, completely empty and glitchy. He uses cards from the other scrybes, though sometimes cards randomly glitch in. Custom made cards by the dev team, cards that didn't make it into the 'final' game. Some cards are self inserts, some are just the definition of 'random bullshit, go!', while others are actual proper cards. He often rambles on about past, unused subordinates that got taken out, like The Vurm, Dustbowl Danny, Fangs, Tall Jane, Helga the Bandit, and someone he mentions a lot more fondly, Rocky. Most of the others assume that the dev team just forgot to delete all his assets and code, so he's still around.

Lazarus Bleeze: Scrybe of Space

A former subordinate of Chandrelle, Lazarus' character was liked by the dev team, and reused as a scrybe. The cards you can use are based on the scale. Good cards if you're winning, bad cards if you're losing, and average cards if it's tied. Lazarus personally thinks the system is incredibly unfair though, so he tends to throw in a bunch of things that benefit the player so they can have a winning chance. The player has had to politely decline shooting Lazarus several times /hj. Lazarus' map looks like a random planet, the sky shifting around his island to look like you were looking into outer space. He resides within a spaceship. His subordinates consist of Junior and Jay, his third subordinate having not been added. But that's fine, because you gotta battle a bunch of aliens before you can even get to Lazarus, Jay, and Junior. All battles being a card game, of course. He hates his current job, and just wants to go back to being a subordinate for Chandrelle. He creates his cards via paying for them using foils, paying for certain things like stats, sigils, etc. He gets to name them and create the image himself for free, though. So, he's had to fight a bunch of the aliens just to get the foils he needs. He lets the player make their own cards, too!

FPP/El: Scrybe of Characters

The sixth scrybe. El makes cards based on the characters in Inscryption, all existing ones, whether you've met them or not. So, they're basically an easy way to know if you missed a secret character or not. El's island is just,,,a white void. Locations change between the appearances of the other islands, though never look the exact same, always having this dreamy sort of effect. Card price is based on the character's role, and similar to Lazarus, you use your foils. Scrybe-based cards can be used for 10 foils, subordinates for 5, and extras for 1. Extras would be the aliens, Bryce's extra fighters, and those locked away by Bryce and Chandrelle. Scrybe-based cards tend to be the strongest, though the cards based on those locked away (which, granted, are incredibly rare to get) are better. As well, upon beating El, El makes a card based on how you did against him and gives it to you. They have no subordinates, and instead have a few puzzles you gotta get through before fighting him.

Aaaand that's all for now! Im gonna draw them at some point, as well as the extras + subordinates. We'll see what happens tho :-)

[edengarden]

conversing on your last post, if me and you were in a video game like genshin (as our sonas) and the genshin boys were out here and playing the game, who would simp and/or whale for us?

For you:

Itto. Itto looks for one thing when he mains characters; are they cool. And you fill in that category BY FAR. Boy is so invested in building you through and through, by the time he’s finished his goal your stats are absolutely CRACKED. People see you in his team and faint bc what the fuck. Leave it to Itto to end up with a singular character with unfathomable stats and have no idea how he managed. He also simps hella hard bc “you’re so cool!!” P.S.- you’re the reason he’s broke but he still loves you <3 he reads fanfiction and is unashamed of it. The only thing on his search history is dexter x reader smut

Kazuha (yes I am biased). I feel like he started simping when he got to see your backstory, or maybe went through your story quest, and all of a sudden he’s going through your voice lines, all your lore and wow your story is so interesting you’re so interesting— he simps and probably has you in his main team but he’s nowhere as intense with it as Itto. Doesn’t mean he’s less of a simp. He reads fanfics but he would never tell another soul.

Albedo. Kind of the same as Kazuha, where he really likes your character and backstory and he kind of just starting enjoying you more

Jean. The strategist. She doesn’t simp as much, but she knows your character has great potential and thinks you’re the perfect addition to her team so she def whaled

Childe. He saw Itto’s Dexter, saw that you could fucking one shot anything and all of a sudden he’s maining you bc you’re a strong ass five star. Started simping along the way. In a “when the fuck did this happen” way he just woke up one day with dexter living rent free in his mind

Casual Dexter Enjoyers: Albedo, Diluc, Jean

Feral Dexter simps: Itto, Kazuha (not that feral but has potential), Childe

For me:

Kaeya. Probably liked the voice lines at first and how sarcastic I am, but the more he plays the more he got annoyed. “Well. Didn’t know we needed this many breaks.“ ‘shut the FUCK up Eve’ (totally based on the fact that I main Kaeya and go ‘shut the FUCK up Kaeya’ every three seconds). Puts up with it anyway bc he kinda simps

Hu Tao. She too likes my character, and thinks my design and attacks are pretty fun. Also loves the sense of humour. Definitely builds me good. Writes eve x reader fanfiction and is venerated for it

Venti. “I CAN FIX HER” simp. I feel like this guy saw my backstory, saw the wretched being I am and went “maybe if I give her a good build she will be happy”. Prays during new updates that I appear in events or hangouts. Has spent so much fucking money on me. Also kind of a gatekeep fan— he reads fanfiction. He writes the foulest selfship things but they never see the light of day

Kujou Sara. I DONT KNOW WHY BUT I JUST FEEL SHE HAS ME IN HER MAIN TEAM. No thoughts her only logic is “hehe feral girl” and she’s a lesbian so I know her main team is just four of the gayest girls in the game. It’s her dream harem

Childe. Hydro. He just likes me bc hydro. Also bc of my attack style probably. This man is plagued by Dexter half the time and the other half it’s Eve. He’s living in constant questioning of his sexuality.

Casual Eve Enjoyers: Childe, Sara, Hu Tao

Feral Eve Simps: Venti, Sara, Kaeya

#elle speaks

[dreamnotnapper]

ok, listen. i will gladly hivemind about many things, but one of the things i will never hivemind about is mcc

i am way too invested in that block game tournament to not have my own opinions, and trust me i have a Lot of opinions after sapnaps stream

(this will be very long, feel free to ignore. also, this is all typed up on mobile so i am so sorry)

the most prominent things is when he said he thinks he should be an s-tier, and when he said he thinks cyan is the best team

1. i dont think sapnap is an s-tier. god forbid i post this on twitter where everyone thinks he should be, but genuinely i dont. he is definitely the closest non s tier player to s tier, but i dont think hes s tier yet. i dont have stats on hand (bc im not a Nerd /j), but comparatively, sapnap isnt as good. hes one of the best pvpers and parkour players, yes. but hes pretty weak in build mart, rocket spleef and bingo, and hes decent at ace race and hole in the wall. a question we have to ask ourselves when ranking sapnap, is he at the same level as the other s-tiers? is he as good as pete, quig, fruit, techno, and dream? so far, all current s-tiers have: won at least 1 mcc, had 1st individual at least once and have 3000+ average coins. sapnap has only achieved the first. another thing is that sapnap isnt balance the way an s-tier is balanced. most notably, pete, fruit and quig are all balanced with weaker teams. pete and fruit are commonly teamed with hermits, when not with hermits pete is with b tiers or below, and quig is usually put on for fun teams (techno hasnt played in a canon mcc in a while so i cant rly say how hes balanced nowadays). sapnap isnt balanced this way, he isnt put on weaker teams. if anything, hes put on teams where someone else helps take up a leader role. mcc15, he'll most likely co-lead with dream, mcc14 he had punz, mcc13 he had dave krtzyy, (i dont remember his mcc12 team), mcc11 he had dream, etc.

so sapnap hasn't gotten 1st individual or 3000+ average coins, and scott doesnt balance him the way he balances the other s-tiers therefore i dont think sapnap is an s-tier. however, if he continues improving the way he is now, i believe he will be s-tier eventually. dont say that i'm too hard on him and that my requirements are too harsh because i'm a firm believer that once a player is s-tier, they dont leave (unless they just fuck up that bad, in multiple consecutive mccs)

2. i think sapnaps prediction of cyan being 1st is wrong. first of all, theres a reason why nearly the entire subreddit predicts cyan to be lower on the leaderboard, and its not because the subreddit is biased or playing an elaborate prank. i think both sapnap and dream really overestimate cyans abilities, especially with 2 new players. both dream and sapnap agreed that wisp is cracked, 5up is cracked, antfrost isnt bad, and scott is decent. the stats kind of do tell a different story though. again, i dont have the stats on hand, i only have what i remember from posts ive seen on the subreddit so take what i say here with a grain of salt. i dont think wisp is as cracked as dreamnap think he is. wisp has only played in (iirc, and if the subreddit was correct) 3 events, and his first 2 were very average with his mcc14 performance being the outlier. another thing is that they have two new players. that is not going to be easy. when you look at new players that joined after mcc began getting more competitive, youll see that they always underperform during their debut mcc. take illumina, for example. illumina is one of the best speedrunners in minecraft. he spent hours practicing and studying vods to optimize his performance. iirc, his first mcc he got 17th. that is already impressive, especially for a debut but his next placement was 5th. that is a huge improvement. 5up and antfrost are no illuminas, they dont have the same skill that he does. if illumina couldnt get top 15 during his debut, there is no way 5up and antfrost will during theirs like dream and sapnap predicted they would. the last thing i wanted to say about this is that 5up can practice all he wants on the practice server. he can get himself acquainted with ace race mechanics and the environment of battle box and parkour tag, but the practice server =/= the real event. no amount of time on the practice server can prepare new players to the atmosphere and pressure of the real event

thats my rant over, thank you if you stuck around. also really sorry if you stuck around, i doubt my thoughts were very coherent as its 4:30am. but yeah, i just wanted to get my thoughts out because sapnap and dream discussing mcc predictions made me very frustrated. especially since their predictions were all based on their initial thoughts on the teams and absolutely zero statistical analysis. absolute himbos, the two of them /lh

#if youre reading this have a good day/night #make sure you hydrate and take care of yourself #mcc #idk if this is the kind of thing people will read in the mcc tag but its about mcc so im tagging it as that #enjoy whatever tf this was mcc tag lurkers #good night im so tired #》 storms ahead

Personal:

her middle name is currently [redacted] bc im pretty sure rook's sister is Evil and for the Drama im gonna make luna's middle name the aunt's first name ;) if it turns out the aunt isnt a villain then.... idk maybe she still will be in my heart <3

she's worn glasses since she was 12, but her vision is. Technically good enough that she can mostly get by without them, leading to her always putting them on top of her head and subsequently losing them

in my heart she's an investigative journalist who moved back to wayhaven after sm things went down at her old job that made her want to find out what really happened to rook and reconnect w rebecca, but then got caught up in the murder plot with UB starting book 1, but in the vein of canon, she joined the force to follow in rook's footsteps etc.

she was kind of a weird kid, always daydreaming and making up her own very in-depth games and stories in the corner- she was pretty shy! sometimes she wld write them down and that's what first got her interested in writing

the car is named Tracy and she is a LADY who is doing her best!!!! at this point tracy is a cherished friend, jokes about her being bad will Not be well received >:(

she's very much in her head all the time, smtimes her sentences sort of meander and just go off on tangents and then kind of drift off at the ends

rebecca sent her to boarding school for a while following an Event in luna's childhood that made rebecca feel like wayhaven wasn't safe for the time being, she had lots of fun but that's kind of the time when luna started to worry she'd done smth wrong and that's why rebecca didn't want her around, since she'd kind of blocked out the Incident

many nervous habits! including but not limited to: cleaning her glasses, braiding small strands of her hair, jostling her leg, cracking her knuckles

she is actually v smart! in a book sense at least :0 she's clever and good at solving puzzles, and she remembers a lot of rlly obscure info abt lots of things- look into her eyes and you can basically hear the mii music playing, but she is intelligent!

she loves animals :') walking anywhere with her takes Ages bc she wants to stop and look at birds and if there's a worm on the sidewalk everything comes to a Halt while a rescue operation is performed

rocks!!!!! she's a huge geology nerd and she Loves them sm, fun crystals and pebbles alike :) she collects them all and if you picked one up and asked her abt it she wld know exactly when and where she got it

she hates seasonal music!!!! halloween songs and Especially christmas songs!! she cant explain why but it drives her up. the. wall. during the last few months of the year she's like that gif from community of the woman hitting the guy with a candy cane like "its December 10th!!!" its the one thing about the holidays she doesn't like

lots of her favorite books are from the golden age of detective fiction! she also reads a lot of poetry and history books, and loves nonfiction :D she's a sucker for any book with really in depth worldbuilding and/or a map on the front inside cover- she DID read the entire silmarillion AND enjoy it! she loves animated and stop-motion movies, laika is her Favorite studio and she owns every studio ghibli movie

she loves any food or drink where the main ingredient is sugar <3 catch her eating lucky charms dry straight from the box! she'll only drink coffee if it has like. vanilla or sm other sweet flavoring added to it along with 12 packs of sugar

her sleep schedule.... oh no! she had insomnia even before murphy, and now with the nightmares, it's even worse :( it's ok though! she uses the nighttime to work on art or baking or writing etc.

she listens to lots of indie/folk music- the oh hellos are one of her favorite bands! also she's a big fan of fun pop music- carly rae jepsen, bleachers, hayley kiyoko, HAIM, etc. also smdfnsj she Does listen to lofi music

she's loved chess since she was a kid and often plays against herself or another opponent- she also usually has a puzzle she's working on, and really likes crossword puzzles/sudoku games!

background noise is a Friend <3 it rlly helps her focus!

she loves her potted plants a lot! she has very detailed instructions on how to take care of them and she does talk/sing to them to help them grow

her house Looks minimalist? she values the aesthetic but she cannot commit- open any drawer in her house and you'll find like 7000 receipts she hasn't thrown out yet

she is Sweet but! untapped Rage is there... she has a tendency to bottle things up until one tiny thing makes her Go Off with all the stress and anger she's been holding back :( she Will cry and yell and then be completely horrified and spend the next 3-4 weeks apologizing profusely

she feels bad about. Everything :( she blames herself a lot,, it's easier to tell herself that things are going wrong bc it's her Fault and she did smth wrong rather than accept that it's out of her control

on that subject things with rebecca are Awkward!! they kind of drifted apart and luna feels like she shld have tried harder to keep in touch

her primary love language... probably words of affirmation or physical affection! she's very open w her affections and telling/showing people she loves them (to the extent they're comfortable with it! she prefers to let whoever she's with dictate the pace of the relationship)

if you see her Sleeping on the floor.... just leave her be,, she's sleepy

she is. weirdly lucky at small things and games of chance? catch her being dealt a full house right out of the gate during card games or finding quarters on the street all the time! she wins carnival games like nobody's business <3

absently she knows all the Lucky things to wish on! shooting stars, ladybugs, eyelashes, pennies, 11:11, etc :)

she dresses like. a very specific kind of influencer lowkey, w the oversized t-shirts and jeans ksdfm, the Sweaters/coats, etc.

hot weather does Not spark joy- she owns like 700 fans and loves getting to wear all her cute winter clothes :)

she's not allowed to watch cooking/baking shows unsupervised anymore, following the Incident where she watched one and then spent the entire night building a Giant gingerbread mansion spreading across the floor of her apartment

she deflects. a Lot! not even intentionally really but it just Happens :/ she's naturally a pretty open person but smtimes she just naturally is Not Talking abt it and tries to play things off, especially personal things abt her feelings/reactions to things <3

she is Nervous,, her base level of stress is. kind of up there! surprises Do Not work bc she will just Shriek and drop what she's holding sndfsjn.... it was like that even before murphy but. you know. it's more pronounced now :/

in her heart she is like. a human golden retriever! she's excited!! she wants to be friends!! she's roaming around,, take her for a walk and maybe she will find a cool stick to carry!!

she walks with a little bit of a skip in her step! on her toes a bit so nobody can tell she is Short... (it doesnt work)

#clown girl has entered the arena #my softest oc BY far jsvskssb she is wholesome but also <3 a lil bit of a fool #twc

[tartagliaxx]

call me stupid or whatever, but i spent like 20 wishes on the permanent banner and i finally got another 5*, which is skyward pride. was it worth it? perhaps. i still have like 10.6k primos so i still have guaranteed for albedo bc my pity on the event banner is 50.

i also already ascended skyward pride to lvl80 and i'm conflicted on whether to replace diluc's r5 lvl90 prototype archaic with skyward pride considering the sub stat is energy recharge and diluc doesn't need that like, at all. i suppose i could give it to chongyun or razor? but i'm gonna have to build them then, which is gonna suck up my resources even more.

but ngl, skyward pride on him is so eye catching. he's dressed in all black while this gigantic shiny blue-green coloured weapon that seems to have ancient texts or smth hangs on his back. the contrast is rlly pretty.

and i feel like i don't even have a proper team now. i benched diluc for a while bc i ascended qiqi to lvl80 and she does rlly well with xiao, but i don't have an archer on my team, which gets pretty annoying at times. zhongli is a must have bc his shield saved me so many times. and bc i just love kazuha's playstyle, i also benched venti for him. i wonder what position albedo will be in once i get him bc my team is just all over place rn, well, if he's gonna rerun this time that is.

i'm almost done with exploring the inazuma islands too, like i've been playing so much that i already have 4 out of the 5 islands 100% completed, and the last one is 94%. i literally am speedrunning through inazuma even if i have no intention of doing that. also, i already caught like 300 fish in my world alone. stardew valley has prepared me well for this lol

— r. anon

ooooooh skyward pride!! congratulations!! i’m not too sure which is better but skyward pride has a higher base attack than prototype archaic so maybe diluc would benefit more from that? having high energy recharge on diluc would make ult spamming like… a hundred times easier too but its not like he needs it so idk. maybe enhance skyward pride and do dmg testing? then again, aesthetic could be so much more important too… aahdgshahshahbaha idk idk 😭😭 im now facing a dilemma even if it doesnt apply to me directly… why must i be born as an intp-t?

i dont even bother w teams anymore. i just.. smash the people i feel like playing as that day w no regards to synergy and build. heck, im currently running fully built ayaka, lvl 3 talents (but maxed out otherwise) raiden shogun, lvl 70 kaeya with +0 artifacts and lvl 20 rosaria with literally nothing to her name. nothing.

woaaaa that’s so quick tho?? i havent been able to play much bc of school and the billion and one papers that they’re handing us smh. i have the first 3 islands at 50% at least but the new ones are stuck at like 10%. as for fishing… i have 100 alr i think… im not too invested in it but the collector in me is begging me to get all the rods and r5 the catch. i think i’m about 30% in that goal? all that but at what cost?

[questersrest]

Yes I would Absolutely love a guide on how to get the pc version!! I played and loved DQ9, is 10 similar?

as for the guide, i wanna do this properly so i’ll probably make a google doc with annotated screenshots bc navigating a website in a very different language is not easy and some of the text is in images that aren’t gonna translate if you just stick the webpage into google translate

if enough people are interested we could even set up a discord to play together and help eachother when we’re confused about what to do with a quest bc it didn’t translate well

as for the question. i started explaining that turned into a very long ramble. the short answer is no. it has several elements from other games in the series and probably 9 most significantly but 10 is not a whole lot like any other main series game, the key reason being that it’s an mmo. you can play it solo and even hire other players’ characters as AI party members to do that but you can’t escape the multiplayer nature of it

full ramble below the cut

the battle system most importantly is of course very different, trying to do turn-based battles in online co-op with a bunch of people wouldn’t work so well. you basically get a move, then there’s a cooldown until your next move. i haven’t fully understood how it works yet but it seems like the cooldown timer starts as soon as you get the move and it queues them up so you can wait a while then unleash several in succession. you do have to wait for the animations though

in regards to the rest of the series it does take some elements from dq9. it uses 9′s vocation system where your level is separate for each vocation. although i don’t think revocation is a thing but i don’t think 99 is the level cap as it is in every other dq game

it also uses a version of the skill point system 8 and 9 had where you gain skill points when you level up and you can distribute them between a list of skills including the 3 weapon types you can use as your current vocation and, well they give you both shield and fisticuffs regardless of vocation in 10 bc shields are more like 11 where some weapons are two-handed and some one-handed and you can only use shields with one-handed weapons. (i haven’t tried every vocation yet so it might be that thieves and martial artists can’t use shields like 9?)

then there’s character customisation. 9 was the only other main series game to have proper character customisiation and i mean an mmo wouldn’t exactly work without character customisation now would it? can you imagine everyone being identical? and that goes both in the sense that you get to pick what your character looks like and equipment you wear is actually visible on you. but this is so much better. acessories are visible. there are costumes you can wear over your armour. you can make your own costumes from items you have. your headwear and the headwear of costumes can be worn but invisible (well i suppose everything could be invisible, you could make a totally naked costume if you really want, i’ve seen people i assume are doing that or maybe they geuinely are naked)

there are a few elements that are typical mmo things that you wouldn’t see in a main series game. first of all. houses. yes you can buy a house. you can get furniture for your house. no i haven’t done it yet so i don’t know how it works or if you can even do it in the free version but you can view other peoples houses and you’ll see all these cool statues of major bosses from the series they’ve collected from events.

then you do have to be careful with item limits. if you’ve played any games that were released this century, you’re used to having no limit to how many different kinds of item you can hold and it you’re like me, you probably try to hoard 1 of every equipable item even if you’re never gonna use it. mmos generally aren’t like that and dq10 isn’t. you have separate limits for different kinds of items and you can store them in your bank which has a limit of 50 items just as a whole. if you complete a quest and don’t have room for the rewards, they’re sent to the travel concierge, an npc in inns in major cities with a number of features i haven’t fully understand how to use yet but you can collect your stuff there

oh god then we have to talk about vehicles. you liked the starflight express in dq9 yeah? well to get between the 5 major continents and the 2 minor continents, you gotta take a golden train. 25 gold each trip. oh you want to zoom? no, you gotta get zoomstones then attune them to towns and big zoomstones around the entrances to many dungeons. you’ll get like 2 zoomstones fairly early in the story, then a she-slime will invite you to a quiz about basic adventuring things and you can do additional quizzes for some more zoomstones. but how do you get around continents? what i suppose is running but i would describe the speed as more of a brisk walk. you will be crying for the sprint button from 11S or a horse like 11. i haven’t got this far yet but there’s a quest you can do to get what i can only describe as a hover segway. it does require fuel you’ll have to restock on but it’s faster. if you are gonna buy the full game, there is a microtransaction store too where you can buy houses, outfits, and better yet, more vehicles. and i am talking hoverboards, hover cars that can take passengers... good god idk how that fits into dragon quest but whatever, it’s not like i’m ever gonna touch it anyway

crafting... 8 introduced crafting with alchemy and 9 brought it back and expanded on it. 10 has a very different system and it all involves little minigames of sorts. there are several crafting types. you can only pick one. if you wanna get into another you have to quit with the other one. i’ve only come across 2 so far. smithing and lamp alchemy. the crafting mechanic of 11 is based on the smithing of 10 except in 11 you can make weapons, armour, and accessories. in 10 it’s just for weapons and i think you can make furniture for your house? you have a grid of parts of the item and you bash them out to fill bars to a certain amount being careful not to overdo it, there are special strikes where you can hit multiple grid squares at once or do stronger or weaker strikes. lamp alchemy is a system where you can add additional stat bonuses to existing items. you spin a wheel and where it lands determines if it’s successful and how successful it was, there are special things you can do but i only know of one that flat out increases chance of success. i don’t know anything of the other crafting mechanics yet but i imagine there’s something for making armour

the last thing i can think of is the side quests system that 9 started seems to be staying, it’s in 10, it’s in 11, there’s even a variation of it in both heroes games. it’s just the translated japanese isn’t as fun as “you’ve recieved a quest request, will you put yourself to the test?” in 9, characters will quests had blue speech bubbles. in 10 and 11 it’s purple. 10 and 11 also have characters with pink speech bubbles who will give you useful infomation if you’re confused with the story. due to being an mmo, everyone’s names are shown above their head and this includes npcs so almost every npc has a name and the name will be the same colour as the speech bubble that appears when you approach so you can see em from a distance. purple and pinks appear on the map too

[delifreshvibez]

yoooo it’s pris again! ( i also play @aimeesgao​ ) this time with the boi jay de leon, or just deli, bc he’s dumb n says it’s short for delicious. definitely a simp. if u wanna read more about this dumpster fire of a man that i’ve based off of all the pinoy boys i know slkfjds pls read below ! and as always, message me or like this post so we can plot and do all that fun stuff yee 

( manny jacinto, cis male, he/him ) have you heard about JAY DE LEON? they’re a TWENTY EIGHT year old TEAM LEAD in the PHOTOGRAPHY team. i don’t know what their last job was, all i know is that they’re originally from LOS ANGELES, CA. carol in hr said that they’re kinda HEDONISTIC and MISCHIEVOUS but jessica in marketing insists that they are JOVIAL and CHARISMATIC. at the end of the day, no one is worthy of the instant hype here. i just hope they get achieve their dream of being A TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHER one day. According to the latest Vibez quiz, their Disney soulmate is Li Shang. ( pris, she/her, 23, pst ) 

BIO

deli is an la native all the way, literally grew up right in historic filipinotown and knows this city by heart

his family, which consisted of him, his two older bros, a little sis and a dog, were lower middle class, so they didn’t have a ton of free spending money but were able to get by. both his parents emigrated from the ph before he was born

school was never really his strong suit, at least when he was younger. he had other things he was interested in that didn’t involve studying and while his parents disciplined it was never really enough to change his behavior

what he does love? dance. while studying did indeed suck, he was able to at least keep his gpa up enough to stay on the dance team in high school

it was no question that he’d go to community college first to figure things out after graduating high school, because higher education was on the map..... it was just that he got sidetracked by other things 

things took a turning point, however, toward the end of his senior year when his father lost his job during the recession. both he and his dad sought out minimum wage jobs after that, & deli juggled his two part time jobs with school

his goal then was to transfer to a 4 year university, which he eventually did 3 years later and entered ucla as a transfer student

there, he resumed his passion for dance in various teams and was active in cultural orgs. it was also when he really started becoming a raver and never looked back. he had always been into photography, then capturing events really helped him grow in his craft 

as a result of his portfolio, he was invited to apply to vibez as intern for the summer after he graduated college

there was a part of him that was hesitant though, as his degree was unrelated (communications major, asian am minor) and he hoped to have a set job instead of an internship. but if you know deli, you know the guy is king of throwing caution to the wind

what started out as an internship to add some experience to his resume, soon became a permanent job on the photography team

he’s stayed put for the past 4 years, excited at actually being able to turn his passion into a career

besides that, the job was just fun. eventually, he worked his way up to lead and has been sitting in the position for nearly a year

a lot of people say he doesn’t take his job seriously, but deli would say that there’s nothing wrong with laughing and being a riot as long as you meet the deadlines

work hard, party harder amirite? soft fuckbois have rights. deli is ceo of the company

the change in leadership has kind of thrown deli off tbh -- he hates the faster turnaround and the idea of quantity over quality but who is he to say anything?

fun fact about sylvee! since mcc16, she has been in the top 20 every event she’s played :) if we’re going by s2 stats the ‘team placement predictions’ would be SOOOO different on god… lifetime stats are misleading its about current performance and pop off potential!!

sonic adventure 2 - u can play as a hedgehog, fox, echidna, bat, cat, and robot hedgehog (bc big’s playable in multiplayer). theres a morality system with different stats i guess???. cars keep getting flung everywhere bc everyone loves skateboarding in the city escape map but cant control it for shit. like before, everyone keeps playing chao garden.

unleashed - u can play as a hedgehog or a werehog. “WHERE ARE THE OTHER SPECIES”. “free sun and moon medal hax no virus”. ppl spam the howl emote. no one understands how to control boost at first so a lot of ppl just fling off the map. the chao quest is introduced and everyone’s like “CHAO GARDEN UPDATE CONFIRMED!!!”. “what is this chihuahua fairy stop following me”

sonic colors - u play as a hedgehog and wisp (its like the first game but this time wisp players get to help) the game lags heavily at first due to all of the wisp action going on. ppl slam into each other due to not charging the laser wisp correctly. some get vored by frenzy wisp. a lot of ppl fuck around with the carnival minigames and eat candy mountain. “need *insert wisp here*”

sonic generations - u play as a hedgehog and a chibified version of hedgehogs. theres just a lot of rping going on in this one since p much almost every rp map is included. it gets played for nostalgic purposes at first and then just devolves into “that one furry rp game”. wisps are added as playable characters later

sonic lost world - u play as a hedgehog, wisp, and zeti. “this is like a ripoff of those mario online games”. no one understands the parkour system. barely anyone goes to the ice maps and lava due to how much of a bitch they are. giant sandwiches are a meme.

sonic forces - u play as the custom character species choices and most of the ones beforehand (+ jackal). infinite appears sometimes and ppl are like “COME AT ME BITCH” despite being underleveled. the voice chat system is the communication thing from the levels and it gets out of hand quickly. everyone rage quits at that sidescrolling level. sunset heights is just lag central (what doesnt help is the fire)

Wow Bfa Pets That Attacjk Slow But Do More Dmg

Wow Bfa Pets That Attack Slow But Do More Dmg Problems

Wow Bfa Pets That Attack Slow But Do More Dmg Things

An auto-attack or autoattack is any kind of player or pet attack that will repeat automatically unless interrupted by the player or some other event. Auto-attacks function separately to the use of specific abilities, and do not interrupt or affect their use. Auto-attack automatically uses the player's current target, and lasts until cancelled.

Brokentooth is the fastest AS pet in-game till ZG bat. It’s also in the “offensive” pet type. Deathmaw / Slavering Worg is a wolf, and the fastest AS of its kind. Son of Hakkar is unique because it has a ranged attack and therefore will not die and will dish out decent damage at the same time. As in BFA, the pet battle world quests scale. If you are having trouble and want an easy mode version, use three level 1 pets and Gorgemouth will scale down. I picked three aquatic family pets - at level 1, the boss has only a single attack, infected claw, which is undead and therefore weak against aquatic.

Auto-attacks have an internal swing or cast timer which, while not displayed to the player, determines how regularly attacks are made. This is generally affected by haste. If the target moves out of range of auto-attack, auto-attacks will cease. Once the target is once more in range, or a new target is selected, auto-attacks will automatically resume. Auto-attack will be suspended by crowd control effects such as stuns and fears, but will resume once the effect has ended.

If an enemy player or boss moves out of range, the pet with more damage per hit will have done more DPS than one with a faster attack speed that is now unable to reach the target. On the other hand, if the boss moves and the slow hitter misses it's hit entirely, its a bigger loss.

Humanoid: Humanoids recover 4% of their maximum health if they dealt damage this round. Magic: Magic pets cannot be dealt more than 35% of their maximum health in one attack. Mehcanical: Mechanical pets come back to life once per battle, returning to 20% health. Undead: Undead pets return to life immortal for one round when killed.

Auto-attack damage is improved by numerous passives, such as (Crazed Berserker).

Melee

Auto-attacks are a substantial source of damage generation for melee classes, and serve to generate rage for warriors and manaEnhancementshamans ((Mental Quickness)). They can also proc certain passive abilities, and interact with all abilities that affect melee attacks.

Melee auto-attacks serve to deal a steady, reliable flow of damage while the player focuses on more specific ability usage. Auto-attacks generate white damage.

Using a hostile melee ability or specifically melee attacking a target will initiate auto-attack by the player.

Ranged

Normal ranged and thrown weapon attacks do not use auto-attack. Hunters need to use the (Auto Shot) ability to make their ranged attacks repeat automatically.

The default shoot ability for attacking with wands is a type of auto-attack.

WoW Pet Battles are a new type of turn-based mini-game within World of Warcraft. Pet Battles allow players to raise their companions’ level (up to level 25), capture wild pets, and even battle other players' companions.

Contents

Pet Battle Resources

Here some of our favorite Pet Battle resources. We're always expanding these resources, so check back often!

You can calculate the battle stats of any pet (at any level and rarity) by checking the 'Battle Info' tab in the pet profiles found right here on WarcraftPets. These profiles are full of valuable information and community comments.

Getting Started with Pet Battles

To get started on becoming a pet battling master, seek out a Battle Pet Trainer in one of the lower level starting zones or in Stormwind or Orgrimmar.

Trainers will teach you Battle Pet Training for 10, as well as how to Track Pets on your minimap.

The level requirement to receive Battle Pet Training is level 5, and once you've learned how to battle on one character, all your other characters will also receive the training.

In addition, the Battle Pet Trainer can teach you a race-specific pet if you don't already have it in your collection. However, the trainer will only offer to teach you the pet that is designated for your race.

Race-Specific Starter Pets

Here's a full list of each race's trainable companion. Note that many of these pets are also available from vendors located in or nearby faction capitals.

- Draenei

- Dwarf & Gnome

- Human

- Night Elf

- Worgen

- Blood Elf

- Goblin

- Orc & Troll

- Tauren

- Undead

- Pandaren

Although the Battle Pet Trainer will only offer to teach you your race-specific companion, it is possible to add all of these pets to your collection. You can either find them in your faction’s auction house or you can create a character of the race whose pet you would like to learn. Using your new character, you can seek out any battle pet trainer in major cities. After you learn the pet, you can delete the character; the pet you learned will not be removed from your collection.

The Basics of Pet Battles

After training the Pet Battles ability, the first slot in your Pet Battles team will unlock. To have an active pet on your team, you'll need to select a companion from the list in your Pet Journal, and drag it into the first space under Battle Pet Slots. You can unlock the other two slots by completing the achievements Newbie and Just a Pup.

Jul 19, 2002 The defenses in NCAA Football 2003 seem extremely limited when compared to the offenses, but then again this is the nature of the sport. On defense you're given the 4-4 and 5-2 defensive formations. 2003 NCAA Division I-A football season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 2003 NCAA Division I-A football season ended with an abundance of controversy, resulting in a split national championship. This was the first split title since the inception of the BCS, something the BCS intended to eliminate. Ncaa football 2003. Two human polls and one formulaic ranking make up the 2003 NCAA Division I-A football rankings. Unlike most sports, college football's governing body, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), does not bestow a National Championship title for Division I-A football. That title is primarily bestowed by different polling agencies. 2003 College Football Year Summary. 2002 CFB Year Summary 2004 CFB Year Summary. Champions: LSU (BCS, NFF, USA-ESPN). Primary NCAA Data Provided By.

New features in this version included over 200 licensed fight songs, 3D cheerleaders and 144 different schools.

But before you head off to conquer the critter and companion world, you'll need to speak with your trainer again. The trainer will start you off on a short quest chain that will teach you the ability Revive Battle Pets. This spell is essential, as it’s the most convenient way for you to heal and resurrect your wounded and fallen pets.

Once you've learned how to heal your companions, you're pretty much all set to take on the wild world of Azeroth and beyond!

Pet Tracking and General Combat

The ability to track wild pets will allow you to see which critters are capturable and which aren't. If you have the tracking ability selected for your mini-map, a green paw print will show up if a wild pet is nearby. This same icon will also appear above a critter if it is a pet you can battle and catch.

When you've chosen a wild pet you would like to battle, right click on the critter and it will take you into a unique Pet Battle UI. You can't engage a Pet Battle if you are in combat, and any attack from a player or nearby creature will remove you from the Pet Battle.

TIP: Be sure that the area in which you start the battle is a fairly flat and clear spot. If there are large objects obstructing the area, such as a house or a large boulder, you won't be able to begin the battle. Likewise if there isn't enough ground space.

For the duration of the fight, creatures in the immediate area will not be visible to you (but they may still attack you if they wander too close). Keep in mind that other players will still be able to see you and attack you if you are eligible for player vs. player (PVP). Other players will also be able to view your pet battle in real time, including the pets involved as well as their health as the match progresses.

The Pet Battle UI

The Pet Battle combat UI will show you your active pet's abilities, your opponent's health, stats, quality and abilities, and there will be options for you to switch pets, pass a turn, capture a pet or forfeit the match.

The golden border and the 'speed' mini-icon surrounding a pet's portrait indicate its initiative (i.e., whether it will be the first to use an ability or attack each round). Initiative is based on a pet's speed, and if this stat is higher than your opponent's, you will be designated to go first.

Your Pet-Powered Arsenal

Each pet has 3 abilities it can use during a battle, but a total of 6 to choose from. They will also have a total of 3 active spell slots that show which abilities can be used during a Pet Battle. The first spell slot will already be unlocked, but the second and third will only become available once the companion has reached a certain level. Other spells will also unlock after reaching higher levels.

Each slot has two spell options, and you can switch abilities in each, but only before and after your pet battles—not during. To switch an active ability, click on a pet's active slot in your Pet Journal, and a select which ability you'd like your pet to use from the drop down menu.

When hovering over an ability, the tooltip will tell you whether or not that attack is weak or strong against certain pet types. Additionally, you can hover over the opposing team's pets and view their attacks during combat. This will be important since it’s a good idea to pit a pet that's strong against the opponent's pet who's vulnerable to that type.

How Pet Battles Work

Combat is turn-based and there is no time limit on each round in a PVE Pet Battle. You can take your time to determine which spell to use next. Some pet abilities have multiple round cooldowns, while others can do extra damage if certain conditions are met. Be creative and have fun testing which combination of attacks works best against different wild pets!

If your pet's health gets too low or its attacks aren't very effective against a certain combatant, you can always switch out your current pet with another companion on your team. Only pets that are considered active (i.e., those in your three Battle Pet Slots), may be switched in and out during the battle. Once the match is over, you can always change up your active pet team, which is useful if one of your pets is low on health or dead.

Each battle that you win will yield experience for each pet that participated. However, deceased companions will not receive any experience (so make an effort to keep them alive by swaping in a different pet). Experience gains are based on your pet's level compared to the wild pet. Defeating a higher level opponent will grant more experience than a much lower level one, but be ready for a tough fight!

TIP: Your pets won’t gain as much experience when you capture an opposing battle pet rather than kill it. Keep that in mind if you’re looking to level your pets quickly.

Higher level wild pets are often accompanied by more than one critter in battle. Only after beginning the battle will you be able to see any accompanying pets on their team. To win the battle, you will need to defeat (or capture) all of the opposing battle pets, even the newly joined ones.

Healing Your Battle Pets

After each Pet Battle, any injured companion will automatically regain 50% of the damage that was taken during combat. But if any pets on your team are severely low on health, or worse.. dead.. you have a few options.

The Revive Battle Pets spell (icon pictured at left) will be the primary way to heal your companions and resurrect them. Clicking it heals and resurrects all of your pets in your Pet Journal, including your active team. This ability can only be used out of combat and has an 8 minute cooldown, so use it wisely.

If a companion dies during the battle, it will need to be resurrected before it can participate in another encounter or be summoned as a traveling companion. Get that pet a medic! Or in this case, a Stable Master. Stable Master NPCs can heal and revive your pets for a small fee, and there is no cooldown on the Stable Master's heal. You’ll find Stable Masters in major towns and cities across Azeroth.

FYI: Both the Revive Battle Pets ability and the Stable Master's heal are put on a 3 minute lock-out at the moment you log in. This is to prevent players from rapidly switching back and forth between characters to use these healing abilities on pets since the cooldown is not shared between characters.

Heal spell on cooldown? Can't seem to find a Stable Master? Well, you're in luck because there's yet another way to heal your companions!

The Battle Pet Bandage is the third way to heal and resurrect your pets. It's a random drop from the Sack of Pet Supplies that you can obtain by defeating NPC Pet Tamers. It functions in the same fashion as the Revive Battle Pets spell, but it doesn't have a cooldown.

TIP: Battle Pet Bandages are bind-on-account so you can move them between all your characters. Additionally, they are stored in stacks of 25.

Battle Pet Families and Abilities

Each pet is categorized into a group or family type. There are 10 pet families: Aquatic, Beast, Critter, Dragonkin, Elemental, Flying, Humanoid, Magic, Mechanical, and Undead.

Every pet family has its own strengths and weaknesses, as well as a passive bonus. This information is helpful to know so you can plan stronger attacks against pets who are vulnerable to them, and defend against pets whose attacks are strong against your pet type.

Strong vs. Weak

The table below shows which pets families are strongest or weakest versus other families. Strong attacks receive a 50% damage increase (base dmg x1.5) while weak attacks suffer a 33% damage penalty (base dmg x0.66).

Vs.DEFENDINGA T T A C K I N Gx1.5x0.66x1.5x0.66x0.66x1.5x1.5x0.66x0.66x1.5x1.5x0.66x0.66x1.5x1.5x0.66x1.5x0.66x0.66x1.5

The chart below (created by Khlammy) provides a make-shift 'cheat sheet' that includes the info in the table above.

TIP: Get our Pet Battles Cheat Sheet, providing you with a printable version of the chart above. It's a great quick-reference while you play.

Passive Pet Family Bonuses

Each family conveys a passive bonus to pets of that type. These bonuses can have a significant impact on the outcome of a Pet Bettle under the right circumstances.

Aquatic: Harmful damage over time effects are reduced by 50% on Aquatic pets.

Beast: Beats deal 25% extra damage below half health.

Critter: Critters are immune to roots, stuns, and sleep effects.

Dragonkin: Dragons deal 50% additional damage on the next round after bringing a target's health below 50%.

Elemental: Elementals ignore negative weather effects.

Flying: Flying creatures gain 50% extra speed while above 50% health.

Humanoid: Humanoids recover 4% of their maximum health if they dealt damage this round.

Magic: Magic pets cannot be dealt more than 35% of their maximum health in one attack.

Mehcanical: Mechanical pets come back to life once per battle, returning to 20% health.

Undead: Undead pets return to life immortal for one round when killed.

Ability Strengths and Weaknesses

Along with general families, pet abilities are also categorized by type. In most cases, a companion will have spells that correspond with its family type, but some pets will have unique abilities that fall under a different group.

For example, the Azure Whelpling belongs to the Dragonkin family. However, it has Beast, Magic, and Elemental abilities in addition to a Dragonkin attack. Different attacks are strong and weak against different family types. Having a diverse spell selection might increase your chances of being prepared with a strong attack against an opposing team.

The infographic below (created by Dargno) offers another handy visual of strong vs. weak when attacking or defending:

Capturing Wild Pets

Most of the PVE battle pets you face in the wild can be can be captured. To capture a wild pet, you will need to bring its health down to less than 35% and then use the Trap ability once it lights up. Note that using this will take up your turn for the round. In addition, you may only capture one companion on a team of wild pets, so choose wisely!

CAUTION: If your goal is to collect a wild pet, be careful not to kill it! Remember, your objective is to drop it below 35% health. So avoid using any strong attacks against the wild pet when it drops below 50%.

Not all the pets that join a wild pet's team will be capturable. However the majority of them can be trapped. The best way to determine whether or not a pet can be caught is by checking for it in the Pet Journal. If the pet isn't listed, it likely can't be captured.

If at first you don't succeed..

There is always a chance that your trap will fail. The good news is that the chance of failure drops with each additional attempt. In some situations, a failed trap might mean you need to bring the wild pet's health down again for it to be eligible for caging.

FYI: Completing certain achievements will reward upgraded traps which will help to increase your chances of a successful capture.

PVP Encounters

Engaging a wild pet in battle will phase you out of the environment, and the wildlife in the immediate area will not be visible to you. This doesn't mean you will be invulnerable during a Pet Battle session, though.

In player vs. player designated zones, you will still be viewable and attackable by players, but you are not left completely defenseless. While engaged in a Pet Battle, any attack from another player will break you out of the battle. You will receive a 3 second damage shield that will absorb 50% of incoming attacks. The same exact wild pet that you were previously battling will respawn after you come out of combat with the other player. However, if you defeated the primary pet in battle prior to leaving the match, the pet and its team will not respawn.

Participating in Pet Battles will not automatically flag you for PVP on a PVE server. Only PVP zones such as Tol Barad or Wintergrasp will flag you for player versus player combat. On PVP servers, everyone is fair game!

Obtaining Your Prize

Your trap may fail a few times before you finally claim your prize, so be persistent and patient… you’ll get there!

Each wild pet you capture will have its own random set of battle stats dependent on its quality and breed. The next section covers pet quality in greater detail and we feature another guide on our site dedicated to breeds and breed IDs.

You’ll also notice that pets of certain levels will 'weaken' after being captured.

A level 16 to 20 wild pet will lose 1 level when caught.

A level 21 to 25 pet will lose 2 levels when caught.

CAUTION: If you are unsuccessful in battle, any wild pet you managed to trap during the fight will be lost.

So remember, in order to receive any trapped pet, you must win the overall battle. If you happen to trap the first opponent on a wild pet team, but lose the match against the second critter, the first pet will be lost and you will have to try again with another wild pet.

Battle Pet Quality

Battle pets can come in four known qualities:

(Poor) - gray

(Common) - white

(Uncommon) - green

(Rare) - blue

(Epic) - purple

(Legendary) - orange

Pets with (epic) and (legendary) qualities are not yet accessible to players (as of Patch 5.1). But Blizzard has stated they fully intend to implement them in the future.

FYI: A few of the highest level Master Tamer NPCs have pets of epic and legendary quality. There are also a few legendary pets that are objectives for the Beasts of Fable daily quest. However, there’s no way for you to capture any of these pets.

These different qualities affect a pet's battle stats. The higher the quality, the better its health, speed and attack values. These values will also scale better as you level your battle pet.

Stats can vary even if two pets share the same rarity. For example, one uncommon quality cat might have more health but less power and speed, while a second uncommon quality cat has less health but more power and speed. This is because each of these cats could have different breeds. You can learn more about breeds and breed IDs here.

Using the Stat Calculator

Each battle-ready pet on our site has a 'Battle Info' tab in its pet profile. At the top of this tab, you'll find the pet's stat calculator.

You can adjust the pet's level and rarity, and then cycle through all of its available breeds. (Note that some pets only come in one breed.) Cycling through each breed will tweak the overall stats of the pet. Snagit for mac free trial.

Curious about the actual formula used to calculate each pet's battle stats? See the Calculating Stats Based on Breed section of our Guide to Pet Breeds.

Wild Pet Quality

The quality of captured wild pets is random. As of patch 5.1, upon entering a battle the Pet Battle UI shows the quality of a wild pet (idicated by a color-coded border around its icon). If you're farming a specific quality, if you forfeit the match your team will incur a small damage penalty (roughly 10%). There is no accurate way to determine a pet's quality prior to the start of a battle.

Non-Wild Pet Quality

Different qualities aren't limited only to wild pets—many rare World drops and special non-wild companions have had their stats boosted. For example, the world-drop dragon whelps (Azure Whelpling, Crimson Whelpling, Dark Whelpling, and Emerald Whelpling) are of (rare) quality. Check your Pet Journal to see the color-coded rarity of your non-wild pets.

Upgrading the Quality of Your Pets

Battle-Stones were introduced in patch 5.1 as a new item that can be used to automatically upgrade your pets directly to (uncommon) quality (via Polished Battle-Stones) or (rare) quality (via Flawless Battle-Stones).

There are two versions of each type of stone; general and family-specific:

General Battle-Stones can be used to upgrade any pet to the quality designated by that stone. These are bind-on-use and may be traded to other players.

Family-specific Battle-Stones may only be used to upgrade a pet of the corresponding family. These are bind-on-pickup and cannot be traded away.

TIP: Using a Battle-Stone on a pet level 15 or higher will cause the pet to automatically lose 2 levels. Keep this in mind, as you'll want to relevel that pet before you engage in any difficult battles.

Battle-Stones can be found in the Tamer daily reward bag, or randomly awarded to you after defeating a wild pet in battle. There's also a small chance to earn one by defeating a player in a queued PVP match. Defeating a higher level pet increases your chances of getting a stone.

Polished Battle-Stones can be purchased for 1,000 Justice Points. Additionally, the trainers in Stormwind and Orgrimmar will trade one Marked Flawless Battle-Stone in exchange for three of a kind family-specific Flawless Battle-Stone.

Pet Breeds and Breed IDs

Pet breeds are used to determine the primary stats (Health, Power, Speed) of your battle pets. So if you want to maximize your pets' fighting potential, understanding how breeds and breed IDs work is crucial.

Due to the depth and complexity of pet breeds and their ID system, we've developed this section of our Guide to Battle Pets as a stand-alone guide:

Check it out to learn everything you need to know about breeds!

Becoming a Master

A new quest will pop up once your first pet reaches level 3. It will send you to either Audrey Burnhep in Stormwind or Varzok in Orgrimmar. These trainers will offer a quest chain to battle specific Pet Tamer NPCs on each continent. Defeating each of these NPCs will reward a nice chunk of experience for your pets, as well a Sack of Pet Supplies (which has the chance to drop the Porcupette companion, among the always-useful pet bandages).

There are two parts of the quest chain for each continent. The first part involves defeating numerous Master Pet Tamers, and the second requires you to triumph over the Grand Master Tamer. After you've bested the Grand Master Tamer, dailies from each Tamer will unlock for that continent. All the dailies continue to reward experience for your companions, however only the Grand Master daily quest will reward the Sack of Pet Supplies.

PVP Pet Battles

If capturing wild pets and fighting against NPCs isn't really your thing, then try out Pet Battles PVP-style!

There are two ways you can go up against another player:

Through the Pet Battles queue.

By challenging a player to a Pet Battles duel.

The Pet Battles queued match is the way to go if you’re interested in leveling your pets—winning a queued match will earn your surviving companions experience, whereas winning a Pet Battles duel will not.

To battle against a randomly chosen player and their team of companions, simply hit the Find Battle button in your Pet Journal. The queuing system will attempt to match your team up with an opponent's team of similar level.

Much like an encounter with a wild pet team, PVP Pet Battles are turn-based. However, unlike the PVE version, the PVP combat system is timed and any ability for each round must be chosen within that time limit otherwise it will assume you have passed a turn. A time penalty is applied if you take more than 15 seconds to choose an action, resulting in progressively shorter round timers for you.

Additionally, during a queued Pet Battle you will not be able to speak with your opponent or see their name, realm, or guild. You won't be able to capture any of their companions either. But let's be honest, the main focus is the battle between pets — may the best tamer win!

Organizing Your Pet Collection

With over 250 wild pets to find and capture, it's not unlikely that your collection will soon feel bloated and cluttered. There are a few ways to organize your collection, but there are also some restrictions to keep in mind.

The maximum number of total pets you can own is 1000 pets (this includes any duplicate companions).

You can only have 3 of any one pet (and only 1 of certain pets). Once you reach this cap, you won't be able to add anymore of that specific pet to your collection until you remove one from the journal.

FYI: If you’re returning to WoW after an extended absence prior to patch 5.0.1, it’s possible that you’ll have more than the maximum pet limit and/or more than 3 of a kind. However, this will be the only time that you’re allowed to surpass these limits. You will have to pare down your collection, eliminating your duplicates, in order to add new pets.

So what can you do to make sure your collection is neat and tidy but falls under these rules? There are two ways to rid your Pet Journal of unwanted duplicates: releasing and caging.

Release Your Extras

The first way to clean house (or barn, in this case) is to release any extra pets. To do this, right-click on a minipet's name in your journal, and select the 'Release' option in the menu. Doing so will remove this pet from your collection.

Certain hard to obtain pets and promotional companions will not have the release option unless you've reached the duplicate cap (x3) for that specific pet. This is to help prevent any accidental removal of unique and rare companions.

But before you begin to release your duplicates, check to see if they allow you to cage them Free download postgresql database design tool programs. instead..

Cage and Trade Your Extras

The second option is to cage a pet. You can accomplish in the same way you release one. After caging a companion, it will appear in your inventory. It will retain its stats and level, and this information will be visible when hovering over the item.

These caged versions can be traded and sold. They would make great gifts too!

Keep in mind that for the time being, wild pets cannot be caged. Blizzard developers have expressed concern involving the trade and sale of wild pets, and until a resolution can be implemented, wild pets can only be released. It's not clear if and when we will be able to cage wild pets.

Pet Battle Strategy and Tips

Here are some general tips and strategies to consider when participating in Pet Battles.

Level up more than one team of 3 pets. You can sub out injured companions with other pets of similar level when your Revive Battle Pet spell is on cooldown.

Early on, it can be quite advantageous to level a mechanical pet and a beast pet as two of your primary battle pets. You'll run into a ton of beasts and critters at the lower levels, and mechanical is strong against beasts while beasts are strong against critters, allowing you to level more quickly.

Some pet battle abilities persist through multiple rounds. These can buff your own pets or debuff your opponent's. Use these abilities first to get the most out of them and pave the way to victory!

Remember to switch companions during a battle. If a pet on your active team doesn't participate in the fight, it won't receive any experience.

You can earn player experience by Pet Battling. Non-level capped players will earn a small amount of experience when battling wild pets that are within 5 levels of their highest level pet on their active team.

Review your Pet Battle combat log after a battle to gain a better idea of what worked each round. You can select the option to view Pet Battle Combat in the chat box settings. Right click on the General tab → Settings → Other tab → Check Pet Battle Combat.

Capture as you go. By capturing companions as you progress through pet levels, you'll be adding higher and higher level pets to your collection. This will save you some time since you won't have to start from level 1 with your new additions.

Some wild pets are quite rare and have long respawn times. Others have special conditions and will only show up when those conditions are met. Be patient, they will appear eventually!

If you're looking to catch a specific wild pet but can't find any in the area, enter battle with another pet native to that zone. The companion that you're seeking might show up as the second or third team member. Defeat the team and capture your prize!

Level capped players have a chance to earn Lesser Charms of Good Fortune from successful battles. The opponent must be within 5 levels of their highest level pet on the active team.

Pet resilience applies to both PVP and PVE encounters. A pet that has been recently affected by crowd-control (such as a stun), will be granted immunity to further crowd-control for 2 rounds.

Be careful when purchasing high level companions from the Auction House or other players. You can only add a pet to your collection if its level is equal to or less than your highest level pet.
