I took note of your advice last time and rolled some insane discs, and now my Neko is all in the S- (or above) tier now!

Now, I'm not entirely sure as to what I should invest on 🤔

Should I continue farming disc to min-max my Neko? Should I grind discs for Dialyn?

I plan to get Sunna when her banner is active. Should I grind for her disc, or should I focus on Nicole's first instead?

Any tips are appreciated! I hope I can start clearing just one or two late-game content now... 🙏

It's EXTREMELY unoptimized, but as far as I know, this is the fastest run of Tac 3 because there is no category for tactical 3 in speedrun.com , nor are there any YT videos being faster than this run.

If you found a faster run, let me know!

(Yes, it's HILARIOUSLY unoptimized and have egregious mistakes but I'll take it lmao)

Coco is hella funnnnn I swearrr

Hey there! I got extremely lucky and got Nekomata on my first day playing this game, and I ended up really liking both her gameplay and character, so I'm going to dedicate and invest quite loads of stuff on her!

I'm quite familiar with these discs thingies from Genshin's artifacts, and I'm well aware that a lot of mine are pretty bad, but just to make sure: am I using the correct sets? What's the optimal main stats?

I currently use Dialyn and Nicole, but will probably replace Nicole with Sunna(?), any tips for her rotation / other details will be highly appreciated as I plan to main Neko in the long-term. Really love her personality and I hope we get more content of her in the future!

Man, Entry Point's story is so good man...

I recently have been playing the community missions in EP:FC, and one of them that really stood out to me was "The Project", a remake of Black Dusk in the original game. I love how many cameos the mission has, and that extra objective.... Simply top notch!

That mission actually ended up making me recheck The Lock for Black Dusk, and that reminded me that the mission has a second Lock, "Confession". Rereading it is just such a really amazing experience. It's seriously so well-written, and that made me look up for more discussions about the Lock, and that led me to GhfjSpero's video on Falcon (which is related to Rose and The Lock).

>!The idea of Rose being alive was honestly such a baffling suggestion, so bad that it's almost disrespectful to the story back then. However, after watching this video, it genuinely felt... right. Like it felt as though it was all planned, and it genuinely made The Freelancer's death much more impactful. The fact that it also "fully fleshed out" Falcon's character and The Killhouse & Nightmare stuff really made it fit to me. Don't even mention how The Concept's Lock fit so well with Gala's secrets. To me, I feel like Rose being alive makes sense and is canon.!<

>!I really love how twisted and tragic this entire story is. The me 5 years back really wanted Rose to live just because, but little did I know that hypothetical scenario actually makes the story so much... Elaborate? It just feels right to me.!<

>!Side note, I feel like "The Concept" 's Lock being so... incomplete was intentional. I feel like the entire idea of Rose being alive was Cish's concept, an idea that never ended up being confirmed, hence "The Concept". Get it? Food for thought!!<

>!Anyways... Thoughts on "Confession" and the theory of Rose being alive? I know it was probably discussed elsewhere in the Reddit or Discord, but I spent nearly half an hour trying to find anything about it to no avail. I'd be happy to hear your guys' thoughts!!<

I just want to say I feel like a god dang smartass for destroying this cam before I went into the server room... (I fricking failed one attempt since I thought pressing the button would only increase alert state by 1, not straight up alarm)

I'm not going to lie, this entire mission was TOUGH as hell trying to figure out. I cheated my way through by spamming intimidation 3 / social engineering 3 to understand the roles gimmick in my previous 40 practice runs. In this clear attempt, I somehow ended up pacifying the Project Manager and Lead Security when they both detected me (lmao), made an entire loop to find ethernet while breaking the cam in process, and finally got it.

GOD ITS SO NICEEEEEEE

I really should be using Celine here, but mine was already used for Arcane Crit, and my darned Society is full of Jichuan, Jichuan and Jichuan...

The 100M clear is with ECB1, and the newer one is ECB3. I would imagine the gap would be significantly bigger if I had Celine, too

I tried in the mock run with my S3 Celine by replacing Siglinde, and I managed to score 180M with Coco dealing 90M. It's suuuper satisfying

I'm also looking forward to buying Summer in the shop in November! I already like her design, so the fact that she works extremely well here is really nice. Looking forward for more Coco!

(Slight tangent... Please tune it down with the Jichuan(s) for Assists!! Gimme more Celine and Jelena!!!)

Hella scuffed run but this is basically my first try lmao

I find it pretty funny how hilariously fast and utterly ridiculous the ways you can beat some missions after you figure out some routes. This one just looks crazy to me lmao

Yeah... I don't know anymore lmao

Not trying to slander any other gacha games here... But I've recently just started another gacha and I am reminded once again of just how generous PtN is in comparison to other gacha games...

Only in this game can I actually obtain ultra-premium teams while still being F2P, and only in this game do I have a chance to be glad to lose a 50/50... (Shin, Jelena, LL)

This game is not praised enough I swear 🙏

The Birdcage would've been there too, but unfortunately, I already got it for my first clear xD

Nothing feels better than literally killing every NPC you've been trying to hide away from. It's so darn vindicating!

I'm actually unsure as to why people dislike this mission 🤔

Looks interesting, gotta try this rn

I finally locked in for the ToA Retrace, and now I finally see the fruits of my investments on VB and Celine 🤩

Now I'm not the maldest of malders, and my performance is FAR from optimal, especially for my level of investment. I was so bad that I even struggled on Starsea Apostle for nearly an hour 😭

But hey, I at least got the max rewards for all 3 of them 😋

Now look, I may not be the maldest of malders, but I play Path to Nowhere. I know the very basics of the game, and I certainly know Ceto's compability with Augustus.

Ceto isn't trash now, is she? Paired with Augustus, she becomes an extremely powerful corebreaker and true damage support. In fact, isn't the very core members of Shattered Blade consists of Augustus, Ceto, and Siglinde?

Like okay, maybe Ceto isn't necessary in a full S5 team comps where enemies die before their cores are even shown, but most beginners aren't even scratching S3.

Now, foolishness aside, why is the discord, especially in channels where beginners ask for help, are actually full of these ridiculous takes and advice? This is absolutely not healthy at all for the game, and I was so flabbergasted by these people that I genuinely felt really uncomfortable being around there.
