Like, Konami are obviously incompetent and at fault, but we as a player base share no small part in this game's current... situation, past or present

But damn it, she is winning from her first appearance.

Also, how come there isn't a spoiler tag ?

Also, happy birthday to my dear main.

Also, also, suppose this is happening in the death realm.

Why you might ask ?

Well, ever since Escoffier, I had a few units that I decided that I will not be pulling for out of sheer principle. Those being Escoffier as I said, Linnea, and recently, Sandrone. Not that I dislike them character wise, I like Linnea a lot, but gameplay wise I have some discrepancies.

Escoffier, cause Skirkmains genuinely annoyed the crap out of me with the "it won't" meme. So out of spite I made Skirk work regardless.

Linnea, cause of all the reactions that needed that insane damage, LCrystalyze was the last that needed such.

And Sandrone cause they done killed my boy Pulonia and replaced him with a Silver Chariot knock off.

And all of those units would have made my time in this stygian far easier perhaps. But I am a spiteful bastard, and I won either way.

Enough about my bs tho, about the battles.

Natlan Pillar: An old friend if I say so myself. It's kinda hilarious how anti-Kinich his attacks are. Especially that random puddle of dmg killing you mid-battle. Had do substitute my Iansan for Nicole, cause her shield genuinely made this run stupid easy.

Purple dog: Here is where the trouble began. So, Zibai with Columbina was a relatively easy fight, however, I really wanted to use Columbina for the Bakugan, cause her and Ineffa actually beat him while I was experimenting. But that left me with no viable hydro option for the dog. Aino was one where I saw a lot of runs using her, but there's was C6, while mine is barely C1. And using Linnea was also out of the question. And then there was the whole ordeal of me juggling around my Favonius weapons cause of everyone's burst and trying to deal enough dmg during his shield phase.

Bakugan: This one felt like a true triumph. One of the most specific boss shills ever. Not even SSC shill, but Sandrone shill specifically cause of those annoying balls flying around. HOWEVER, thanks to another user here who shared their run, you have no clue how much I am thankful for your example, I used a team entirely comprised of some of my faves. My favorite dps, her partner, my favorite sub dps, and my first ever five star. It took a while to understand how to properly deal with his shield phase, had to borrow some artifacts from Arlecchino, make an entirely new build for Durin with the Hex support set, fortunately I had a lot of spare elixir and feathers.

So yeah, 4th Fearless in a row. Sorry Hoyo, better luck next time.

3 days later I finally beat and darn it, this was A LOT. No seriously, any chamber with with Hunter/Revenant combo is cursed. Not to mention how long it was.

The fact that for the last wave you have to handle, a whiplash, cosmic elemental, a comodo which I personally DESPISE, another Revenant, Cyber demon, another arachno tron and a boss Acolyte with his delightful duplicate. Somehow this was harder than anything in TDA and revelations combined up until this point.

If only I had C6 Lan Yan, I would have been able to give her TTDS and probably have an easier time.

It's a shame I had to resort to my Lunar team for the Watcher. I wanted to beat it with my Clori/Chevy/Iansan/Mavuika team. But the damage was always not enough. Similar situation when I tried with my Kinich/Iansan/Emilie/Mavuika. At least against the upcoming pillar it will probably work just fine.

And Tulpa is Tulpa. Hyperbloom victim number 1.
