Atlas Reactor: Rampart

-
Recently, I changed the build of my Rampart (previous build here):
(read this wikia for details on abilities and mods)

(1) Radamantium flurry: Battle Rush (1)

This is still the best mod, in my opinion, because it helps Rampart to gain ultimate faster, which is his only dash and it can also help to protect his allies.

(2) Bullwark: Bunker (2)

Makes Rampart more durable and less pressure on his support. If enemies have at least 2 enemies whose primary attack can bypass Rampart's shield e.g. Gremolitions, Phaedra and Orion, then I will switch to Defensive Posture. The last time this happened was like...last year? Haha.

(3) Fusion lance: Rocket Lance (2)

This is the only change. I so rarely got mileage out of Radamantium Tipped Blade mod. On the other hand, sometimes I just lacked the range to hook an enemy. Hence this mod. This makes my Rampart's performance more consistent. I'm happier with this mod compared to the previous one. Yes, this means that I have one loadout point leftover.

(4) Unstoppable force: Invincible (2)

Same reason as previous build.

(5) Aegis protocol: Rocket boosters (2)

Same reason as previous build.


Here's a recent gameplay using this build:



My Rampart received the accolades Exemplar and Vanguard, despite the boo-boo on turn 17: I wanted to use the dash catalyst but then I noticed Titus has dagger. I panicked, took too long to decide and so ended doing nothing. Luckily it turned out to be a good accidental mind game haha.

In terms of win rate, Rampart is the most successful (77%) among all Frontline freelancers. I don't know why this is so, given that he is probably the hardest to play in that role. My next best is Phaedra (73%) while the most played, Rask, has 71% win rate.

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

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i
