u/Decadunce

Yo, so I'm a beatdown GG/Sparky main (do not play sparky) and I find myself getting fucked over by cycle all the time.. especially since my towers are level 15 rather than 16, so spirits still get to my tower.. gob barrel is 3 shot etc

So I was thinking I needed to learn how to play cycle so i can counter it better as it's not something i've ever really done i'm a beatdown main, yet I google the top cycle decks and a lot of it seems pretty braindead bait where you don't have to play precisely

I want a cycle deck that takes actual skill to use so i can learn proper spirit strats, how to cycle smartly rather than just "spam everything at bridge to cycle and waste all your cards" and stuff like that yk? I feel like non-braindead cycle is the best way to learn the intricacies of Clash as you can get a massive elixer lead if you know your placements and how to count the enemy cycle. There's a lot of skill expression with cycle, it's just that 90% of cycle is so easy to play braindead as the devs keep adding more bs

But I also dont want a deck that only takes skill because it's bad.. a lot of people go "oh this deck is SO hard to win with it takes so much skill" and it's like skeletons espirit fire spirit zap log rage goblin gang archers like yeah that's a skill based deck, but it's not a fun or good one yk?

Thanks for reading!

smh hate mods that do this

just one thing i've noticed is that all the top scorers run this weird attack heavy giorno set rather than going full healing, is this just a world boss thing or is this actually giorno's general best set?

I'm pretty hard walled by Alice, her mega pinsir is a BIG issue. First of all ive been relying on this game giving you strong fighting types such as hariyama and primeape up until this point which obviously doesn't work on her.

Next I tried faster ice types (i have a near perfect sneasel) with some slower rock types. I tried it with pupitar, boldore, sneasel, minior, pupitar and lairon and no dice. SR breaks sturdy, I dont have enough free turns to defog (nor any defoggers in the first place) and mega pinsir caves my skull in. Prankster murkrow is my best option for preventing SRs

Next I tried it with elektrike but she's just too fast..

It seems like I need bulky resists because outspeeding her isn't especially possible (maybe with a suicide tailwind lead? mega pinsir is still really fast at base though and that only works for 4 turns) but on expert she cheats and is overlevelled with some insane coverage options. Her pinsir has brick break AND rock tomb with 138 attack and doubled speed. Dodrio is also fast, gliscor mandates an ice move to be used on it, crobat also very fast.

I DO have a sticky web near perfect ribombee (the strat up to this point was sticky web then sweep) but well this gym hard counters me. I can tell SR are key but other than that i'm at a loss with how few speed control options I have

If miniors were breedable then maybe? you need perfect IVS and EVS with a speed boosting nature to outspeed her mega pinsir if it's jolly. Kilowattrel would also be great but he's not legal

I looked into weather control but the only pokemon that outspeeds her in weather is Jumpluff.

The solution that i'm thinking of atp is just to breed 6 near perfect gravellers, but that doesn't fix the mega pinsir issue. Tera ghost would make this SO much easier. Also breeding 5 gravellers 1 murkrow would be tedious, annoying and pretty useless outside of this gym

Hello there! So my grandparents came over to visit and, seeing as how im the "computer" one in the family (Im a man in my 20s that owns a PC) so grandad brought two of his old mp3 players to get files off of and put on a laptop. One's newer, thee YP3-2.0.43. That one was easy, the bluetooth even still worked. Plugged it in, fiddled around a bit, it eventually detected on my PC and hey access! I download all the music, videos and pictures he wants then I ask if he wants it wiped. He agrees and the YP3 gets wiped. Sorted.

The older one's strange (And, of course, the most important). The bluetooth doesnt really function. No devices pick it up, it CAN still detect other devices but trying to pair it just causes the thing to freeze. No dice. I try and google the make and model, the Bush MPO6TB but I can find literally nothing. God knows where grandad's picked it up from.

I plug it into my PC via usb, no detection. it DOES still charge so the port's not dead, but it isn't registered at all. Next i tried a bunch of software online that says it works with old mp3 players (Musicbee, MediaMonkey, Winamos (something like that, dont remember the exact name) zero detection. I try other usb ports and usb leads, nothing.

I fuck around with it for hours trying different things, trying to get it to pair with the YP3. Nothing. I try a USB data transfer with the YSP, but that's going to require some weird fucking wires to get the two connected that I don't have.

Eventually, after about 2 hours, I dont see a way I can continue and I'm making no progress. I tell my grandad to have a look at his home for any old laptops or tablets or whatever stashed away in a drawer somewhere, Maybe he has something that's old enough to actually run the fuckin thing (assuming it isnt mudded). I also ask them to have a look around for the lead that may have come with it.

I don't really want to send dear old grandad home with a "yeah scrounge around in your drawers", i'd like him to leave my home with the files he wants extracted. Anyone have any idea if its still possible?

I honestly might just take a page out of wade's book and get my own eeepeecee but well spending money is a last resort, even though dirt is more expensive. So! i figured i'd ask here first, and crosspost it to the mp3subreddit.

Thansk for reading!

I figured it was just a weird stat in bloody battle, but i just got it on my spirits for a +7% effect hit. What does it mean?

Hello! So I just unlocked the daycare centre outside of gym 2, which is great as i'm currently struggling with gym 2. The issue is I have no ditto and i've never properly bred pokemon before despite being a long-time competitive player (showdown rather than ingame ladder), so I have some questions (I've been avoiding googling stuff to do with this game in order to avoid spoilers)

1. How DO you go about breeding? My vague knowledge is you catch a ditto until you find one with good IVs (Maybe even31? Unsure if you need perfect..) in some stats you want. You give it adestiny knot so it passes down its highest stats, then eventually the offspring will get 31 in those stats because the offspring's stats have to be higher or equal to the parent's highest stats due to the destiny knot. You then breed the off spring with the parent, repeat incest until you get 31 in all stats and tadah! perfect ditto, then you repeat with the pokemon you actually want.

Thats probably wildly incorrect though.

2. Should I even bother doing it rn? I'm not sure when you unlock ditto in this game but im fairly confident I dont have it unlocked, I don't have any TMs and I've not seen one in a wild encounter but I could've missed it tbf. Would it be better to grind away until I get 6 level 26 fairy types? Pretty sure I can get calm mind/triage/draining kiss comfey by now. If not I can just run it with 6 hariyama's.

Basically, is my understanding of breeding right and should I wait until ditto so I can perfect my team? I'm currently going for like, an OU sand team core with ttar/exca/.

I'm on the hardest difficulty.

Hello! So my experience with the match making has gone like this
>click quickmatch first thing
>it's this shitty "No guns bar bolties no vehcile one map" gamemode that I immediately hate.
>Play it, not very fun, leave
>Looks for other gamemodes
>Find operations
>Click " any"
>Loads me into gallipoli.. it's fun but no grand scale that I like so leave
>Click any again
>gallipoli again
>Leave
>click any again
>gallipoli again
>Manually select a different operation
>it's empty
>Leave it a day, play tmr
>Click quickmatch
>it's this shitty "No guns bar bolties no vehcile one map" gamemode
>go to operations
>Click any
>gallipoli again
>Manually select a different operation
>It's empty.

Is there some secret sauce im missing? or is literally everyone on gallipoli and the shitty "No guns bar bolties no vehcile one map" gamemode? What are people actually playing?

1. Is there anyway to make enemies more legible? I have a hard time telling when im looking at an enemy/surroudned by enemies especially from a distance. Ik minimap and all but im talking visual/audio

2. Any major settings i should know about? Iv turned of all the annoying visual shit like motion blur and film grain.

3. Any general bits of advice?

4. How do I get into a vehcile?i ve tried clicking on them when theyre green and then clicking deploy b ut no luck

Ty! Edit for 5: what game modes do people actually play? Ik people play them all but well is it operations ? And if its operations then which ?

Hello! So I did the guranteed avdol pull to level up my avdol.. but I didn't get avdol OR magician's red. It just flatout didn't give me my guranteed pull.

Can I email support or something to try and get my Avdol upgrade?

Thank you for reading.

Hello! So i never spend money on mobile games... but I really like this one. So i was wondering if theres any sort of like permanent premium or whatever I can buy that buffs my account forever. If not, whats the best value thing to buy?

Thank you

Hello! So I joined an early strong clan that filled up quick. It has a high power level but nobody speaks in the chats. I've tried to ask people to join, 1 guy did but well you need 6 (?) and nobody else is interested or even types. Is there anyway to manually pick out a guildmate's team from the roster?

The main thing stopping me from leaving is that ih ave no gurantee any clans I join will actually do the raid, is there anyway to knoow?

Hello! So my knowledge with the total war games starts and ends at twwh3, I have like 1.8k hours in it sure but I love the gameplay loops, so I want to play more total wars.

What would you all recommend? i don't mind if it's an older or newer total war.

Hello there! So I was reading the new SeerSucker story noble arcana about a minor-ish noble sent to a small isolated town to be its new leader, and his focus is split between the arcane mysteries he finds and town management.

The issue is that I found myself drastically more interested in the darker town management part of things.

MC is a morally pure good man in a fairly dark fantasy world, without a system there to build things for him. He has to actually order the roads to be rebuilt, hire contractors, worry about money and check books, hire a surveyor for his mining interests etc. I really want the story to be near entirely town management focused, but it leans more magical unfortunately enough.

The other stories I can think of that fit what I want are Londoner Manor Lord (Concept is perfect, the writing is just really poor) and Castle Kingside (abandoned for years).

The issue I have with a lot of town management is that either it's either incredibly light tonally or it's "the system will do everything for you, dont really need to work at all. Go pwn some mobs to get +10 wood! Poggers sauce! now you can upgrade the town hall, lets go guys!!" I don't really want magic solving issues, at least not super easily. I want stone and wood to be harvested by labourers and then worked by normal human craftsmen into timber, and then normal human builders make the new sawmill. An established town in a kingdom relying on and producing infrastructure, dyou get the vibe i'm going for?

Note: Doesn't have to be a town, this post was just born from me wanting noble arcana to be more management focused, and it's an estate town in that story- so I use town a lot. Could be a city, a small nation who knows.

(also no harem please)

Hello there! So i'm not a new player to twwh3, I have a mid amount of hours at 1.6 k so i'm not new.. but I have some suspicions that I take far too long to upgrade my main settlements, and that my settlement upgrading in general is suboptimal.

I do the standard practice of 2 econ builds in your capital, then advanced recruitment or control building when you get it to t3. Other settlements in the province 2 econ + recruitment (or 3 econ, or 2 econ 1 advanced for hero recruitment/global buffs depends on faction)

But I watch some peoples' gameplay and they get T5's incredibly quickly it feels like, within the first 40 turns sometimes.

I tend to not have much of an economic surplus even though I play a lot of dwarves, everytime I get a healthy surplus (3k+?) it immediately goes into funding another army (usually gyrocopter doomstack), sometimes i even run at a deficit. The only times im flush for cash is lategame, and even then it gets funelled into yet another thunderbarge/gyrobomber doomstack.

This game rewards wide instead of tall for essentially every faction barring wood elves (even dawi you want to go wide, fast expansion is the best thing to do) but I feel like I just struggle to upgrade my main settlements. (ignoring Grungni cheese). I dont upgrade my growth buildings as I tend to run into cash problems more than growth, sometimes I dont even bother building them if cash is that tight.

Is this a common struggle? is this how i know i've made it into the "decent at the game" ranks or is this a skill issue , and I shouldn't have money/growth problems ever? Should I have enough funds to click upgrade "t4/5 settlement upgrade" then they come available? I spend all my cash on econ upgrades and new armies, with usually just leaving a lot of settlement capitals at T3 for gyrocopter recruitment, though I'm trying to not be dwarf specific here. A lot of the funds for getting my T4 capital settlement built tends to come from quest battles

Whats your pace to get T5 settlements? I just want to know if im doing something wrong. I'm completely fine with my skill in battle and in a wider sense i'm good at empire building i know what buildings to go for, when I have free insane cash flow and shit tonnes of global growth buffs my empire is built perfectly... it's just the little decisions of what to upgrade and when and managing cash that im not sure im doing correct. I could be, but it feels like I'm always doing something wrong with it.

My current campaign its turn 25 and i can afford maybe.. 2-3 armies, and my main capital building is T3 (Could be t4 but this campaign is dead and im restarting)

Thanks for reading!

Hello there! So i just cant figure out how i should be moving around maps and how i should be positioning my units. I see people say overwatch is incredibly important, but with the way i play i can go 3+ mission without having a single overwatch trigger. I tend to use my TU primarly for movement and i rarely bother saving any. I tend to prioritise assaulters and go heavy on smokes (i do love offensive smokes). Always be in cover, always be moving yk? I tend to do a slow crawl upwards whilst constantly checking my flanks and darting in and out of cover. I don't know if i have a micro or macro tactical decision-making issue, maybe both tbh

This approach doesnt really work super super well, and im kinda at a loss for how to position and move my units. I get it, overwatch good.. but like how the fuck do i properly overwatch and kill things? Why not just burn all my Tu to get into a better position next turn to get two kills, rather than relying on RNG to maybe proc overwatch and maybe hit and maybe high roll to maybe kill.

Does anyone have any advice or, hopefully, some high level video explanations (more of a learn by doing/visual learner kind of bloke, but yk advice welcome)

I'm not like, getting completely ruined in my campaigns but i tend to underperform, dislike how many soldiers/missions i'm losing and how the xenos are outscaling me and then restart

Thanks for readng!

(P.s: what stats are important for grenadiers? Accuracy and str?)
