Atlas Reactor: Asana (part 2)

Atlas Reactor Asana Retribution (finishing blow x2)

This is one of the longest games I had in Atlas Reactor: 32m 27s, 34 turns, score 9-8.

I wanted to level up my Quark to 10 (which I did so a few days later, yay!) but game asked me to choose another because there was already a Quark in the team. It automatically suggested Asana. I do not know whether it did some sort of calculation to suggest that or it was purely random, but for certain there was no Frontline character in the team (1 Support, 2 Firepowers). There are 3 Frontline freelancers I'm comfortable playing: Asana, Garrison and Rask. I chose Asana (as suggested by the game) for reasons I don't remember now :P

Game was very close but hilarious at times due to exchanges in the "All" chat.

At score 4 - 4 (remember that 5 kills by turn 20 is a win):

Enemy's Grey: ggwp
*Followed immediately by our team mate's death and thus the score became 4 - 5*
Our Gremolition: Or is it?
*Followed by a death on enemy's team and so equalising the score to 5 - 5*
Enemy's Grey: what?!
*plenty of lol hehehe*

This happened again at 5 - 5, with enemy's Grey thinking they had the sudden death win over us but we equalised again, with our Gremolition voicing out, "Or is it?" again hahaha.

However, at 6 - 6, enemy's Grey thought they lost ("We lost.") because one of them was clearly going to die but once again our Gremolition said, "Or is it?!" followed by a death on our side, bringing the score to 7 - 7. Some players exclaimed how close this game was.

At this point, unfortunately, enemy's Garrison disconnected and thus taken over by a bot. What a bummer.

Remember Asana's Retribution ability? I believed I used it quite well in this game (probably explained the 3rd highest damage overall!). Twice it caused 36 damage to Garrison because she was hit by his delayed Missile Barrage as well as one other ability during the same turn. The first time, he winced in pain (i.e. pointed in chat the huge amount of damage he received) and the second time she killed him. This was on top of the damage she did with another ability (it's a free action to activate Retribution).

One funny moment was when enemy's Gremolition, already low in health, dashed away from beside my Asana when she had Retribution activated. Gremolition Dash ability deals damage to nearby enemies at the location where he left and at the locations where he land. I did anticipate he would do that and was expecting him to drop dead soon after dashing.

However, if you recall, each turn goes through 4 phases: Prep, Dash, Blast, Movement. So even though my Retribution dealt more than enough damage to kill him by the end of Dash phase, the game was smart enough to calculate that there might be a change he could still be alive if he somehow received healing during remaining 2 phases. So the score wasn't updated until game was certain that no amount of healing was going to keep him alive. When it did,

Enemy's Grey: Huh? How did you die?
Enemy's Gremolition: Retribution

All hail the Angel of Vengeance!

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Strange expectorant

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
