100% agreed. Between XP Treats and not needing to level "fodder" characters to harvest their Skill Points, the need for and appeal of XP Boosts had already fallen off pretty hard. Having every other Viewing Parlor reward be a 1-hour boost devalues both consumable boosts and the Parlor -- you...

Here's the real point where we disagree: I don't believe either one of those groups should be playing Diamond Prize Fights at all. If your Collection is still at a point where the rewards from Prize Fights are in any way meaningful, your time is better spent playing a Gold Prize Fight to 13...

Firstly, you are vastly overstating how many more natural Diamonds are in the game compared to when Diamond PFs released. When Diamond PFs launched in v4.8, every single character had at least 2 natural Diamonds, with a handful having 3 -- putting the pool in the low 30's. Now, three-and-a-half...

I've thought about this some more and I feel like I cannot emphasize my conclusion enough: Parallel Realms is not worth the effort. Consider what a successful run on No Mercy will give you in 22ish nodes: - ~500k Canopy Coins - ~2.75 million XP (as XP Treats) - 150 Gold Shards - 45 Diamond...

Yeah, this was almost certainly a case of Marked For Deletion triggering. If you pause the replay, that catalyst is shown halfway down the defender's fight modifier list. Can you double-check if the replay is accurate up to the point where Parasoul dies? On my end it looks like she dies to the...

They tightened which elements get drained -- it's now much easier to bring a fighter that can kill her without taking damage. OLD: Attackers of 5-out-of-6 elements get drained. Only Advantage makes you safe, Neutrals are always drained. NEW: Attackers of 2-out-of-6 elements get drained (1/6 if...

If you sacrifice a Shiny fighter to another copy of the same variant, the "Shiny" attribute will transfer over. The fighter that received the sacrifice will have its level recalculated according to the halved XP-per-level requirements that all Shiny fighters have. Future skill tree and Marquee...

100% agreed. I dislike PR in part because it resets so often. (The other part is that the rewards are just straight up Not Worth The Effort for me -- slogging through hundreds of nodes a month with modifiers that are actively hostile toward any kind of "fun" is a high price for maybe getting...

I'd love another Indivisible reference, but Eliza already cosplays as Ajna with her Inner Pieces palette. The combination of brown gloves and cream-and-gold dress pushes me toward agreeing this one is Ningguang:

This is a known limitation of Hex -- against fighters with timer-based SAs like Dream Demon, Hex only stops new timers from starting, and will not prevent the effects of timers that started before Hex was applied.

If an ability does not have a stated probability, it is an unwritten 100% chance. An opponent that has 33% Resistance will block one-third of Heartless' debuffs on average.

"2.5x XP" on the banner is to indicate that fights there give 2.5x compared to what you'd earn if you fought the exact same teams in a Prize Fight, not 2.5x compared to what you'd get from the same team in Holodeck this time last month when the badge wasn't there. Also, Holodeck Mayhem is not...

By default, HH already has a 2.5x experience multiplier. It is completely expected that fights that were previously giving 175k-300k XP per fighter (with an XP booster active) are giving 350-600k in HM (also with an XP booster active). Don't believe me? Calculate the XP you should be earning...

What other fighters are on the opponent's team when you see this happen? Wunderkind Umbrella's Signature Ability inflicts damage when your fighter reaches 3 stacks of Power Surge (even if Umbrella is off-field), making her a common pairing with Robo-Fortune's DDOS Marquee Ability. (Extra spicy...
