My first slander, Apologies for the rough quality

Visited this sub recently and came across a message about how Evanescia doesn't want Sunday because of how converted Crit Damage buffs cannot be re-converted.
The question I have about this, is that Evanescia doesn't have anything in her kit that suggests she has crit damage conversion in her kit.
Additionally, from what I can tell while reading the damage formulas for elation damage, Elation damage doesn't seem to convert CD when calculating final damage at all. It simply handles critical hits normally, like any other kind of damage that can Critically Hit.

Can somebody explain to me this disparity?

played [Something Boss Fights] recently and was flabbergasted at how good it was. only problem is that it’s effectively got zero progression outside of ‘get good at fights’

are there any games that have combat on at least approximately the same level as that game while having actual, decent progression?

ideally something without too much grinding.

Before you all jump me in the comments, I need to point out a few facts;

1. Vertin canonically carries a suitcase filled with all kinds of incredibly skilled people who are more than willing to help her overcome challenges, such as Lucy, Yenisei and Anjo Nala.
2. Vertin often runs into incredibly urgent or dangerous situations that justify her asking these people for help.
3. Vertin... never does this.

Look at chapter 9 for example. Vertin could have asked somebody from her suitcase who can help her figure out what the heck is going on in the prison, or chapter 10, when she was trying to find some way to get out of the maze. Vertin never asked anybody in the suitcase for help, for no good reason.

Why? Isn't the entire purpose of her carrying a suitcase to have a collection of useful people on her side? Why is she never making proper use of it?

The reason for this becomes obvious once we start looking at this from the perspective of the writer: By giving Vertin the ability to call anybody from her magic suitcase to solve any problem, it becomes impossible for her to experience actual growth and development from overcoming those trials herself. It also makes any problem that Vertin might face in the story non-problems. In short, it stops the story from being anything more than a poorly written power fantasy of sorts.

It also becomes clear that the addition of the suitcase into the story was not throughly thought out at all, but likely something crudely added to justify Vertin's connection to the massive cast.

We here all know that revenue is important, but it often seems like people places massive importance on whether a gacha will end their service, but rarely that gachas often runs into certain other issues considerably before they EOS as a result of their low revenues, that often also makes those games almost pointless to play.

Here are some which I have found:

Black Beacon: released terribly with many bugs, then got its updates continuously delayed, then placed under maintenance, then EOS'd.

Eversoul: Stopped getting story updates by mid 2025 and had repetitive event reruns, EOS announced during may 2026.

World Flipper: story updates slowed, events become mostly reruns and fewer inventive/creative features were getting added during early to mid 2023, then by late 2023 pretty much only small tweaks are getting added during updates. By the end of 2023 the game announced EoS.

Alchemy stars: during mid to late 2023, events became less experimental, and noticeably fewer new game modes are being added. By early to mid 2024, while main story updates did not halt or massively slow down to nearly the same degree as most other gachas, it still reduced in frequency, and no longer expanded the world as much as it did before. By the end of 2024 it announced EOS.

What signs of the game struggling have you seen in EoS'd games you've played?

Like seriously, changing them from AA to a speed increase is bad enough, but... they reset literally every turn? How is he supposed to benefit from them when they reset this frequently? Is there even a single comp that makes those stacks useful outside of FUA? Even Saber comp can't make meaningful use of them now.

If they just changed those to increase his ult damage like therta stacks does to her enhanced skill damage it wouldn't be a problem, but right now they're literally useless?
