will there be any good sets available? i already have all the sets i can get from set packs, my only way to get new sets is via events now.

i choose to believe that i have a pretty good grasp about the different damage types, but even i dont understand some of them.

for example, the first lvl of the octopus of the damned offers 50% more weapon damage, as well as 50% more "unarmed weapon damage", now, i know what unarmed damage is, but what is unarmed weapon damage?

also, some dynasty weapons special moves give "combo bonus damage", which is also very confusing. and i cant even begin to imagine how that works. some special moves also give "shadow ability damage", which i dont really understand too. is it bonus damage to specifically shadow abilities? or to all shadow damage?, because some sets dont use shadow abilities, but they do deal shadow damage, so does the bonus affect them too?

what about damage while unbreakable? it sounds simple enough, but something about it makes no sense. the special moves that offer damage while unbreakable only go up to 20%, which is the same as the "weapon damage" bonus, just that the weapon damage bonus works all the time, and not only when unbreakable. does that mean that the damage while unbreakable bonus affects all damage types, and not just weapon damage? that would make sense, i think. but nowhere in the description does it mention that.

and the most confusing damage type I encountered so far is the "damage with jump attacks" bonus from the cannonball special move. which literally makes zero sense whatsoever. not only because of the weird damage type, which mind you, only ever appears in this one special move, but also because cannonball is an armor special move, and armor special moves almost exclusively provide defence bonuses. not only is it the only thing in the game that gives a "damage with jumping attacks" bonus, its also the only armor special move that even offers damage bonuses in the first place!

there are probably a dozen or so different damage attributes in this game, and trying to understand all of them is driving me around the bend sometimes.

its been a while since they were introduced, but i just realized that i can actually beat most of those bosses, despite having a plethora of sets to use.

i kinda put them aside, since the rewards are insultingly low for the challenge, but it would be nice to actually be able to beat them.

currently, the only boss im able to defeat is the black countess, but none of the others are event close to possible for me.

ive been trying for about one and a half hours to beat him, but this inconsistent sonovabich will not do as i expect, i settled on a strategy of baiting his dashes until he runs out of them, and then stunning him using strict master and meditating, and when it works, im able to fill nearly half of my energy bar, but he is so astronomically unpredictable, sometimes i bait out 3 dashes, and then im able to stun him, but sometimes, i bait out 4, 5, and one time even 7 freaking dashes, yet he still somehow has another one to punish me when i go in to stun him.

ive given up completely, i decided earlier in the event to leave stranger to last, and then just spend 5 tokens to fight his easy fight 5 times, but i just so happened to have a few spare today after beating the anibot marathon, so i decided to try my luck, which was a mistake.

ive seen people get premium perks like price of victory or himmelstein's song from giveaways, so i was wondering if there is a promocode that gives himmelstein's song.

ever since i got my meta to lvl 6, ive been on the hunt for this perk, but with no luck so far, but maybe there just so happens to be a code for it.

nothing makes sense, there is nothing to do???? where do i get the stupid currency to fight against the control lost bosses? why are there only 2 fights in the freezing breeze event???? why do i need to wait 12 hours to fight the first event fight again??? i couldnt find ANYTHING that explains this event!!!! also, is it even possible to get to lvl 4 lucky board??? you could only get 8 witch tokens after beating ALL the control lost events, which only gets you to lvl 2 lucky board.

and let me vent real quick. is nekki's balancing team even a thing? in order to actually progress in the control lost bosses, you need at least 3 strong sets from each faction. does nekki even want new players to participate in this event?

nothing makes sense, everything is wildly unbalanced, and i dont understand how im supposed to make progress in this event.

while it might not deal the most damage, heavenly law is absolutely a powerhouse, with insane defence, and powerful, spammable moves to spare, the only issue i ever encounter while using him is entering avatar form in the first place, many types of enemies excel at interrupting heavenly law's meditation, which makes it difficult to use.

the new clan weapon fixes all of that, it makes meditation available right at the start, makes meditation 50% more efficient, AND makes you unbreakable while meditating, which pretty much fixes every single downside heavenly law ever had.

so my question is thus, can any other set compare to heavenly law with his clan weapon?

ever since the clan chat was introduced, the flagging system has been a bane of my existence, it constantly flags normal words, which makes it near impossible to write long sentences in chat.

does anyone even know how to navigate the flagging system? i dont even care if it flags normal words, its the fact that it never even tells me what word got the sentence flagged that's the issue. if i dont know what i did wrong, i cant possibly even start to fix it.

i started playing before the legendary sets had levels, but i seriously cant remember how set abilities worked back then.

the only set effects i can remember from back then were the abdicator's life after death and the immortal lord's innate life steal ability, i had a lot of other sets, like the living legend, warmonger, divine judge, and a bunch more free ones, but i dont remember what they did.

i do remember, however, that the only energy type was normal shadow energy.
