So, my recruitments finished and I saw I got Defense + Survival together. Ngl, I just had a very unpleasant experience, so I really needed that + my luck with tags was terrible for past month or 2.

Got Specter... time to grind and promote her to e2.

Congrats to you both~

Found another Amiya x W pic, this time with BDSM. I wonder if this ship will get more popular when Darknights comes out? I don't really know the details, but IIRC both Amiya and W show up there.

I need to have Sora and Lappland in my Rhodes Island to complete Texas's harem.

I don't think Amiya x W will be popular to be completely honest. Based on the few things I've read about W so far, the only ships that make sense canonically would be her with Flamebringer or her with Ines.

You're forgetting about Theresa though. I've heard her and W were close.

The problem is that I'm pretty sure she's dead?

Congrats. I remember getting that combo but went for Specialist + Survival instead. Felt a bit of regret but I really liked Manticore's aesthetic more and this was before I found out about Vulcan x Ceobe.

Are you going to bring Skadi along to grind with her?

I see what you did there ;)

To my knowledge, only loli Amiya shows up there so I doubt there will be any of that ship's interaction. Also:

There are indeed the ones with more canon basis. That said:

It is indeed the current canon that Theresa is dead.

However, my personal speculation and I do believe there are others who share this, is that Theresa may still be alive inside Amiya in the same vein that Koshcei is alive in Talulah (and still is even after Ch. 8) which can then lead to Amiya x W shipping. Again, just my theory and not canon.

Speaking of Amiya shipping, I believe the Specter x Amiya fanfic was mentioned before? Someone commissioned fanart for it

Amiya x Eyja

Lapp dominating Texas

NSFW Mostima x Exu

Rhine Lab family

Amiya x W probably won't be that popular compared to others, but something about the (imagined) dynamic between them based on that one comic makes me interested all the same.

More Blemishine x Whislash - this artist's really into this ship

Also yeah, I was the one who mentioned that (and the one who uploaded that to Danbooru :P). Amiya x Specter is a complete crackship, but I can appreciate that author's dedication to it.

Darknights animated PV. Animated Theresa looks evil and that one event scene looks great.

EDIT: Had to change the link since EN originally used a censored version while JP wasn't censored

W doing W things, making her Spiritual Liege Michael Bay proud.
BANG! Wahaha!

I don't get how to use Ifrit. Her attack range is much different than my other AoE casters like Lava and 12F.

Just put her facing a tile that a lot of enemies go down, she deals wayyy more damage than every other caster and her skill 2 reduces enemy defense while her talent reduces magic resistance from anyone in her range. There's a saying that if Ifrit hits 1 tile, then she's doing her job well, if she hits 2 tiles, she's OP, and if she hits 3 or more tiles, she's a god.

The key to playing Ifrit is just knowing where to position her, but she's not always the best pick for every map because of her high cost and unique range. Other tips to play her well is just have a defender block enemies and have Ifrit facing the tile ahead of the defender so she can hit ~3 enemies every attack.

One YT comment summarized Iffy as "like having the 4x1 tile in Tetris" which sounds about right. You kind of start looking for "Ifrit Lanes" in maps with her around.

I need lots more rocks to feed Amiya to get her to E2. Only have 2 of them so far. :( I have enough of the other mats including the chips.

Ah, rock farming. The true final boss of AK.

Why can't I E2 Hibiscus, Lava, Kroos, and Lancet-2? I'd do that in a flash if I could.

Here's some cute Mostima x Phoenix

Wait who- oh She Of The Countless Cringy Codenames. Right.

E2'd Nightingale in preparation for Darknights. Also put her on my support in case anyone needs the arts res.

Sharing art too: appropriate for the holidays Schwarz x Ceylon

And a heartwarming moment of my favorite ship

There is no escaping rock hell. Part of the reason I want Mudrock. Her base skill helps in getting rock byproducts.

Btw, the Darknights event store has the rocks you need to E2 Amiya.

I need to finish my Nightingale too.
I'm super tempted to roll on this banner too.

Yea. I've been farming rocks pretty much exclusively for past few weeks now.

Finally E2 Lappland and waiting for event to grab chips so I can E2 Ifrit. Wasn't sure who to invest in next so for now I'm finally doing masteries, but it won't last long as tomorrow event starts. Still will get Myrtle to S1M3 before that, so that should be handy.

Also finally after not having luck with tags for so long, after yesterday's Vulcan today I got nuker, robot and support (obviously together). Since I never use Firewatch I figured getting Zima was better idea (I also had DP-Recovery tag), so now she's Pot2 (I never know if I should count first copy or not with potentials).

I believe the convention is to not use the first one; ie if you only got one Zima she's potential-0, if you get one copy of her its potential-1, etc.

Also I'm curious, is anyone planning on rolling the Darknights banner? I'll probably only go for the 5-star pity; I'm saving up for W's banner.

KK. I always used it like that, but whenever I was about to write it, I started having doubts if someone won't think I'm including base copy into it as well.

The new operators on it seems really interesting, especially Definitely-Not-Annie, so i'll throw 10 roll from the get go.

Speaking of W, why everyone want her so much? She appeared like once in story and from what I remember she said she was with Reunion just so she can blow shit up and doesn't care about anything else. Did I miss something? What is her appeal?

Fuck, that's cute xD And smooth x3

It was hinted at during the story chapters and one of the earlier events with Flamebringer, but there's a lot more to her than just that. This event should go pretty deep into her backstory, among other things. Also people (including me) just find her hot

W is a very complicated person...

Comparing her stats she's not much more powerful than Meteorite or Sesa both of whom are available at anytime unlike W who is limited to specific banners (mainly as a marketing ploy). I don't even like her that much compared to Lappland, Liskarm, and Texas.

TBH I just want her because A) her kit is made of trolling and lulz B) that undiluted sadistic glee her VA puts into her combat barks gets me every time >_>
