@ DISTANT COUNTER

I finally got her Distant Counter. T_T

(I really liked the Brazen Atk/Def + Atk Smoke combo, but I still think DC is going to be more useful since it allows her to hit back at range and charge her Special faster with Heavy Blade. Though, I might even consider running Berkut's Lance just so she becomes an monsterous wall.)

Beautiful. What a babe.

The Brazen Atk/Def is great but this is a gift for her. You could wait for a possible prf refine but who knows when that'll happen. I definitely would invest in a Berkut's Lance, +def or res or both. I think it's just good to have an arsenal of weapon choices for your +10 merges/arena core. Maybe the Distant Defense seal + Berkut's Lance would be better for flattening her magic bulk, but Panic Ploy is also great on her if you know the scenarios she'll be running in. I'm guessing a lgn Hector was euthanized? Man... this lgn ban is killing me because I only have 24 orbs and haven't pulled yet and I know I'll need A LOT more to get more copies for my lgn Hector merge.. all the colored orbs are solid choices too..

Well all you need is to add a Bold or Vengeful skill, do you have any spares or just not sure about foddering them?

Yeah, I was pretty hesitant about Berkut's Lance since he is pretty limited; but the more I think about it, the better it seems on her. I'll do it, though not right away as I'm still hoping that my final copies of Nowi and/or Fae will show up sometime soon.

L!Hector was indeed the one I ended up offering, but he was -Atk and I had pulled another one that was +HP / -Def (not great, but he's still going to be avoiding doubles with his weapon so I rather him take a hit to Def over Atk). Honestly, other than the Red / Green pools, I'm not too excited about L!Y!Tiki. Sure, she's really powerful, but something about her just rubs me the wrong way. (Maybe it's the insane BST, maybe it's that she's has powercrept Expiration with Bold Fighter and powerful C-Skill, or maybe it's the unsettling smile that her neutral art has--idk.) I'll probably stop summoning here and continue focusing on the Muspell banner since I got the thing I wanted most and don't really need Steady or Warding Breath fodder.

As for the Fighter skill, I do have a two M!Grima, so I could easily fodder off one. I think for Arena and Arena Assault, I would prefer Wary Fighter over Vengeful Fighter because she would be able to avoid doubles from a lot of Bold Fighter Armor since they mostly dump Spd. The ones that she will not avoid doubles from are most likely Bold Fighter Zelgius--which I just use my Nowi or Hana to deal with--and (new) L!Y!Tiki--I think my Nino can handle her in Arena Assault. Though, I think that when I set her as my lead for Rival Domains and Grand Conquest, I think that more people would prefer Vengeful over Wary, so I don't mind giving her that skill.

That's understandable if you need the feathers for those other merge projects. Buuut... Berkut's Lance would still be contributing to a more finished merge project with Effie, right? Plus, Effie is a lot more easier on the eyes than Nowi. What merge is your Fae up to?

Yea.. I don't even want to look at the top of the AA leaderboards to see all those megalodon whales already +10ing lgn kid Tiki.. you ever look at those? I usually check that to see how quick some of these people will +10 a fresh new unit days after a banner is already out.. I mean I can't talk shit about them because I've whaled hard numerous times (I've had to stop, I can't do it anymore) but that's for collecting merges over the span of multiple banners, these guys will finish it every new banner, who knows, they probably have all the new featured ban units +10d but we just can't see them

When you foddered that lgn Hector, did you feel a sharp tinge of pain for losing that Vengeful Fighter 3? I know I did when I gave my adult Tiki DC from a lgn Hector a month ago... I hope.. I really really hope they implement into skill inheritance some kinda storage space for skills to give later on that didn't fit into the 3 max you can inherit when foddering a unit.. I can't tell you how many Armor Marches I lost or some other 5* exclusive skill from the earlier age of this game that was dumped when skills were foddered... so much regret..

I haven't thought too much about lgn kid Tiki's bst.. because I don't even want to think about the arena threshold increase.. I guess Im not caring too much about the tier ranking anymore. But I'll still try to get more of those crowns when I can for whatever they're going to be used for.
I'm kinda the same about her art. I didn't like it at first, then I did, then I wasn't sure. I mean at least she's not too sexualized, but you can kinda count her curvy legs coming out from that short skirt.... all these japanese artists are pervs hahah. I do really like her character spirte and that amazing... powercrept breath... whoo boy.. imagine the next step in powercreep dragon breaths...

Unholy Naga Grima Hybrid Hellspawn Hunger:
"Grants +3 to Atk. Effective against dragon foes. Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Deals +10 damage when Special triggers. If unit's Def - foe's Def ≥ 5, foe can't make a follow-up attack. If foe's Range = 2, damage calculated using the lower of foe's Def or Res"

Fae is at +8, same as Nowi. She's +Spd / -HP over Nowi's +Res / -HP because I wanted a Dragon that could be played on both Phases, rather than just mainly Enemy Phase like Nowi. (Eventually, I'll have a Player Phase A!Tiki raised up so that I can run a Dragon team for whatever game mode I want/need.)

With Hector, I really didn't care that I couldn't get Vengeful Fighter off of him. It's a good skill and all, but I really would prefer to run Wary Fighter or Bold Fighter, if I ever get it. (Also, the game just gave me a bunch of Vengeful Fighter fodder in the past--I think I pulled a total of 8 units that had the skill--so I guess that I just got desensitized to it.)

Tiki's sprite is really cute and I can stand her other portraits, but it's really the neutral art that's scary--like something out of a nightmare. Also, I don't know how true this is, but apparently, a lot of Japanese artists (at least, nowadays) start their amateur years producing ecchi / hentai independently before they enter the professional industry, so a lot of the more perverted elements show up in their professional drawings. (That kinda explains the really short skirt and legs on this Tiki, I guess? I don't know much about this artist, really.)

Wow, that Powercreep Breath is just too insane. Hopefully, that stays away from the game for a long time.

I always forget Bold Fighter doesn't have the hp requirement.. that's ridiculous

Adult Tiki and Summer Tiki are my favorite ones, the reg young one is good but I just am not into the young Summer Tiki. I kinda like this one a little better. I looked up the artist and found that he/she did these. Never would've guessed that, I actually like Soliel's art and bridal Ninian

Report

Oh, wow. I actually have all three units and never noticed that this person was also responsible for L!Y!Tiki. (I don't know why L!Y!Tiki was so strange since the other three are fine, disregarding the outfit on Nowi.)

As for my favorite Tiki artwork, I think Sum!A!Tiki is my absolute favorite, as well.

I've read about that too before, about manga artists starting out with ecchi and hentai before getting into regular comics. Did you know that the creator of Ruroni Kenshin was arrested for child pornography? https://www.google.com/amp/s/kotaku.com/rurouni-kenshin-creator-charged-with-possessing-child-p-1820633519/amp

Its the desperate japanese gamers that have to be the best at their games and the recently rich chinese kids from mainland that have mommies and daddies give them limitless credit cards after their economy blew up in the last 15 years or so. Ive seen these 18-20 yr old kids drive around new ass Maseratis, Ferraris, you name it, where I live.. they pull up and park their shiny new toy in the front of the restaurant I work at for everyone to see and stroll in like they own everything, the most rude ass snobby fuckin air, while they're just little shit kids... korean students too. That "Yaboong" guy might be korean. He's always on no 2. on the leaderboards and ALWAYS has the newest unit +10d..

Don't get me wrong, I'm not racist against asians or anything... I'm actually chinese american lol

When I still went to university, at least a third of the school comprised of these rich Chinese international students. I recall a former roommate complaining about how his Chinese group mates always ditched him to go out or whatever instead of working on their projects that were due every week. A lot of them were also pretty dumb and had no idea of what they were doing, as they never went to class or did any studying. They'd try and asking him to copy his homework or whatever.

Luckily, I never really had to experience this headache since I just stopped sharing classes with them after my first year. (Not a lot of them shared my major, I guess.) Though, there were some that I personally knew who were really nice and didn't act like that--but they weren't the ones with the expensive brand-name clothing or latest iPhones, or luxury cars.

That's an accurate description of what these privileged chinese students are like. Yea I've been seeing tons of these rich asian students study abroad here for the 6 years I've been at this restaurant, it really is like they were uneducated villagers from the mainland that suddenly their parents' businesses/factories blew up since america has had literally everything manufactured in China and now they're all millionaires and are sent here because it looks good on their resumes to study overseas... but these kids just fuck around, buy expensive tech/clothing brands with fancy names on stupid shirts that cost way more than it should/supercars.. they only acquire these things to show off their wealth but they really have no understanding of anything, of history, culture, art, (good) music, they just gravitate towards brands.. I see them come in the restaurants as groups, lacking any kind of social etiquette or manners... they slump in their chairs and don't even look at each other or talk, they're all on their new gold iPhones playing mobile games (FEH lol) and can barely speak english, act rude when they order food..

I really wonder how the hell do they get through class and exams if they cannot speak properly.. I really believe these colleges just collect their families' money and probably for an extra fee, just for these rich chinese, charge them extra if they want their kids to have a guaranteed pass and graduate. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case since america is so fucked up with our healthcare and education systems prioritizing money over everything else.. everything is a business now. Yea not all of them are bad, there was this Taiwanese kid regular, he comes from a decently well-off family but he was really modest, drove a used car that was over 5 yrs old, he would talk to me and tell me how he doesn't get how these students do whatever they want and how they could graduate because most of them didn't take their school work seriously... hmm

What was your major? Are you from the united states?
