I’m pretty brand new to the game and want to learn about the lore more. I see there’s no shortage of videos to watch going over specific characters or the entire story up to this point but before I looked into them I was wondering if there’s any specific videos/creators the community agrees are good for that type of thing kinda like the souls community has for vattividya

You still have one charge and the first hit stuns like usual but it applies a tracer which doesn’t do anything yet, and the second hit will only add a 1 second slow instead of the stun and reapply the tracer so the next hit won’t stun until the tracer wears off. This way you can still use it to deal with dive dps who are flash stepping around the battle field and able to use it to interrupt ults. But you can’t spam it on tanks as effectively and if you’re dealing with someone like venom you want to try and save it/time it for when he tries to swing away or before he uses his bonus health instead of doing it whenever.

The current change makes it so I’m encouraged to just spam it on tanks cause it’s not going to be reliable to stop abilities or fast dps. If it worked this other way you have to be smart about when to use it and your disincentivized to keep hitting the same person

I haven’t seen this topic brought up yet so I was curious what everyone would think

Despite being associated with water and fire thus being the easy answers for Qifrey and Olruggio I’m not sure how much they really fit as that type of bender especially as Qifrey doesn’t actually like water. Though granted it’s not like each bender has a completely locked personality type

Tetia is the easiest answer for airbender ever.

I can see richeh as an earth bender to to her stubborn and self assured nature, also I think earth bending would be the best fit for her crystal magic.

Agott I can imagine as a fire bender pretty well, I think fire fits her as someone who’s incredibly ambitious but to the point it can become something hard to control or that risks hurting others

And I swear I’m not just copping out because she’s the main character but coco I see as the avatar. I mean she’s a bridge between two worlds, we as the audience are following her learn all manner of spells and be exposed to all walks of life, and despite not being the best witch she’s the one you see thinking outside the box and applying answers no one would. For her main bending type I could see air, I mean you see her fly on basically aangs glider and her closest thing to a “signature spell” is her variation of the sylph shoes for flight so it makes sense.

If anyone has any other ideas or where they’d put the rest of the cast I’d love for you to share

Yes, things get more intense, more upsetting or dark topics get brought in, things generally get tenser. That being said people talk about silver eve and beyond as if it’s the eclipse from berserk. Things don’t get INSANELY dark or depressing. I think someone might be surprised with how people talk about things to open up to a recent chapter like 96 and see the girls and their masters safe and generally in good spirits. I’m not trying to detract from how serious some aspects have gotten but I worry people are giving anime onlies the wrong impression

I worry about someone whose interested in the series getting scared off cause they’re worried it’s going to go into like constant character death and magic war or something of the sort, or someone who’s excited to get to things going completely off the rails finding that a lot of the vibe and nature of the series stays consistent.

Side quests was obviously not going to be for everyone so right around release to assure people “don’t worry we’ve got more canon narrative driven material on the way which will assuredly explore characters and lore more deeply” right at the time side quests was released was a good idea. It’s easier for side quests to feel like “side quests” when there’s a sense we will be getting back to the main “story” in time.

On that note side quests is fun so far and has been a great experiment in something different

I don’t normally play dps but I’ve been trying it more to improve aim and positioning and oh my god turns out peeling for supports is NOT as painful getting teeth pulled the way so many instalock dps treat it as. You just listen and turn around, that simple. As tank I peel when needed but there’s the added factor of sacrificing space which makes it a bit tricker but people able to give them the Bucky special or delete them as punisher than go back to business is great.

Even if you ignore it helping the team and want to look at it from a purely selfish perspective, the easiest way to pump your final hits is just farm flankers/divers, they’re isolated and probably used at least 1 or 2 of their cooldowns to engage, they all have their focus elsewhere so you have the upper hand on them. I’ve gotten some of my highest elim games by just letting enemy dive come to me or focusing tanks that walk past our own thinking no one will look at them

Plus as I’ve realized, a lot of the dps roster has anti dive potential that you wouldn’t normally think as anti dive. Punisher and daredevil being able to see through walls, star lords spin for evasive enemies, Deadpool’s blinding aoe, etc. You don’t need to be a specific character to peel or deal with dive you just have to look at what their playing and be ready to deal with them
