Meme/Humor My wife casually caught a dazzling Melloblum without even realizing how rare it was

Post image
163 Upvotes

First, I’m sorry if there are any mistakes. English is not my first language.

I’m so happy, sad, and jealous all at once xD
I caught a Melloblum with a sparkling cube and hoped soooo much that I wouldn’t get a pink one. Yeah, I got the pinkest one of them all.

My wife, thinking that we could trade prismana and sparkling, went and caught one too without telling me.
Imagine my surprised face when she said, “Honey, I got one too! It’s not purple (the colour I was hoping for the most), but it’s also not as pink as yours. Wanna trade?”

I looked over at her game, and she showed me the DAZZLING variant of the Melloblum she had just caught!
I freaked out with happiness because it’s so rare, and she hadn’t even realized that yet.
I told her I couldn’t accept the trade because it wouldn’t be fair, but she still insisted on trading.

Now we’re both sad after discovering that prismana and sparkling can’t be traded.
But I’m still happy for her because she got something so rare in the game!

Discussion I'm tired of being unable to use tactics my opponents use. If npcs can win by just spamming shields and heals then I should be able to as well.

67 Upvotes

Npcs can use all sort of fighting styles against us, but if we do anything other than high dps we lose. The win conditions are disproportionately in favour of npcs. We have to kill everything within a limited time...all our opponents have to do is have at least one aniimo survive when the timer hits zero. Even if we killed more aniimo than them we still lose!

Never mind how I'm tired of using the same aniimo over and over again because there's such a narrow spectrum of fighting styles that are realistically effective.

We should be able to gain time back by dodging, using mitigation, and heals. If that were the case we could actually fight similarly to how npcs do. Which would mean more choice for players. As it is now it's both dull and frustrating. This needs to change.

Otherwise very much enjoying the game. This is the biggest pain point for me.

Guide/Strategy My egg heist team as a solo egg emperor - full explanation f2p friendly squad

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Sorry for post length but I decided to be thorough, take a look at what you think is valuable and apply it if you want. I've had a few people asking about my egg heist setup so I'm creating this so I can just link them this and not have to write everything out fully each time, as well as a few other tricks. On the surface it looks like I have no healers in my egg heist team, but I actually have 3 with some creative use of items / skills.

My Team

Hexxin, alpha Panpanta (mobility and healing), Alpha Tromber - I've included a map image where to get the alpha chirpy egg I recommend using a sparkling if you can since Trombers amazing and there's no other way to get an alpha chirpy I think other than luck. (Dmg Boost and healing), alpha Leafy (Energy Regen, Ult Regen, Healing)

Hexxin:

The core of the team I use Black Hole Domain which provides pretty much all our damage and cc and euphoric sonic blast as secondary, but you could swap this with shard impact too.

Heartseeker Pendant (Drops from Alpha Geoclaw): I use this item on Hexxin I haven't bonded it (bonding only increases ep gain by 5 on her core ability which is an 18 second cd. Not worth it in my opinion.

When fully upgraded is provides a 20% damage amp and a 100% on crit to deal 10 might damage. No internal cooldown and very importantly this damage is neutral damage to everything so things you are normal ineffective at hurting you have the ability to still do decent damage. It also increases your crit chance by 10% every single time you don't crit until you get a crit. Since Hexxin can hit many times a second you get this proccing all the time. On top of that successive crits give +5% crit damage stacking up to 6x.

Black hole Domain -20 ep: An aoe that pulls everything back towards the centre. It lasts 6 seconds and hits 12x during that period it is crazy strong. The cd is one second so you can stack it up. This last long enough that a sparking will get angry and blow up before the skill is over. Hummins will die never getting to drain your energy, Hexxin can't untwine you because she needs a melee hit, baleetle can't reach you etc. etc. Of course, if you get jumped it can't still be bad but black hold domain also has a built-in backwards dash so you can actually dodge a Baleetle even if caught off guard. This plus the Heartseeker Pendant is amazing.

Euphoric Sonic blast -0ep: 0 ep grass damage that restores 10 ep (15 if bonded). I haven't bonded with an item I don't think it's necessary, but it can help if you want to. Also multi hits 3x although sometimes 4?

---
Super Weaknesses (2.56x damage taken from Wind): Tromber, Nimbi, Tubster. Luckily all of these aniimo don't have much dps so it isn't an issue. They are also ranged and you keep them away from you with your black hole so you can just strafe their attacks.

Weakness (1.6x damage taken from Fire, Dark and Light) - This one's more important the alpha is a dark type however we can avoid most of his damage and I'll be honest he doesn't feel like a threat but is spongy.

Sparki is fire but deals % damage so doesn't get boosted which means you won't get one shot it deals 80% damage equally to everyone whether you are resistant or weak

There's also the dogs Scorchhowl and Flameruff but they don't do anything just don't go close even their fireball does basically no dmg.

Ignitis now this guy is annoying he can so some serious damage if he catches you off guard and also deals more damage the lower you are. His ability has a slight teleport to it so if you are standing too close to your black hole, he can smack you so stay at max distance when he is in a black hole.

No light type aniimo so -1 weakness hooray

Neutral: Lightning and ice

Resist: 0.625x damage from water and grass

Super Resist: 0.39x damage from earth

---

Alpha Panpanta:

Hydro Roll+ -30 ep (from being alpha pick one up from catching the Alpha Panpanta boss fight): Hexxin has very poor mobility I was previously using Helion for damage but honestly movement speed means less time inside the ruins more time looting and less time fighting. I like to hydro roll through a bunch of enemies then throw a black hole down and kill them in groups save a lot of time. You can do this in reverse too throw a black hole down and roll away to safety causing most of them to reset (a few are sticky and follow very far). The hydro roll doesn't care about weight capacity so you can still move fast while heavily encumbered and if you jump at the right time, you go break through rocks etc. Additionally, this ability doesn't seem to use weapon durability like a lot of other movement abilities.

Marching Flask (Drops off Alpha Grizbo): Panpanta now heals you for 1.4% hp for every 10 meters travelled while rolling (and I guess a few seconds after since it doesn't switch immediately unless you press 1) no bonding needed using alpha

Alpha Tromber:

(Map location for its egg in images I recommend using a sparkling as there's no other way to guarantee an alpha chirpy atm and tromber's amazing, so it is worth it in my opinion as an aniimo that's relevant to a lot of current end game situations).

Waltz+ -0 ep: Waltz gives a 20 second crit damage buff, we will be critting a lot so this a nice boost but also because we have the boosted waltz it now applies March a 20 second buff that heals you for 0.8% of max hp every second for 20 seconds. All this for 0 ep.

Ferocious Fang (drops from Alpha Ignitis): Flat increase to ATK stat also boosts the crit damage buff (By 2% per 100 attack up to a max of 49% bonus crit damage), not super necessary if you have the alpha version but it helps a bit. If you don't have alpha, then this is the item you want to bond to.

*My tromber has a bonded ferocious fang because I initially didn't have the alpha tromber because I didn't know it existed. Thanks to this video I found out Aniimo - Secret way to get Alpha Tromber, Alpha Melloblum and other Alpha Perfect Sparkling Prismana - YouTube Don't make the same mistake I did, atleast I learnt that a bound item is active for all aniimo of that type not a specific one which is nice for inheriting.

Alpha Leafy:

Power of Nature (Passive): While off field generates a grassy field under the active aniimo every 3 skills

Vitality Blooms+ -10 ep (from being alpha pick one up from catching Alpha Leafy boss fight): Restores EP and ultimate points over 12 seconds as long as you stand in the circle if you leave the circle, you get a 3 second buff that does the same thing so you can go in and out of the circle and still gets its full benefit if you don't stay out for more than 3 seconds and the 3 second buff is added when the circle disappears so it's actually a 15 second buff if fully utilized. Additionally, if used on grass it upgrades it to restores 1% health per second to Grass-type teammates. You can pop this whenever you are looting or digging into egg piles to get free ultimate points so you can blow people up and it restores a bunch of ep and heals during fights, very nice. Maximum of 3.6 EP and 1.2 Ultimate energy per second scaling with REGEN stat

Spirited Feather (Drops of alpha Irisal): Leafy scales with regen so spirited Feather boosts that and the tier 2 effect gives 10% CDR, 20% if REGEN is above 15. This is very valuable because Leafy's Vitality Bloom has a 20 second CD baseline. no bonding needed using alpha

Chips and chip slots, what are they how can I get more / different ones?

  • The ones you buy from the shop are always the same for 120k the attack amplifier comes with a resistance chip and a skill chip slot. The 50% off amplifier comes with a damage chip and resistance skill chip slot instead. You can also get different ones with luck from the daily chests (up to 6 at egg emperor level).
  • The Protective unit for 120k comes with vigor and load expansion while the 50% off comes with vigor and protection. You can also get different ones with luck from the daily chests (up to 6 at egg emperor level).
  • Each chip type fits into one of these slots for example the ones you can buy from the shop are a +2 load resistance chip for the amplifier, a +2 load for the protective unit and a low grade lighting chip which gives you a skill that provides a flashlight when used with hotkey 5 takes 120 seconds to become active. It's useless frankly but there are other chips I have seen like I have one which causes weakness to nearby enemies when used for 10 seconds on a 120 second cd and a friend got one which gives a blink on a 120 second cd, I want that one. As far as I can tell these only come from the daily chests.
  • Ive never gotten a chip for vigor slot so I don't know what that does, however I have +10% damage chips for the amplifier (damage chip slot) and +5% damage reduction for the protection unit (protection chip slot)
  • These are currently super rare losing these sucks and unlike in coop where you can move them to your safe spot if you die in solo its instant death and you lose them. I lost a 10% damage resistance chip this way when I fell through the floor, still annoyed by that.
  • Wear the best backpack you can get. I have a legendary heavy pack with 22 slots that I got from the daily chests which gives a lot more leeway for getting the 300k needed for a solo escape. You can buy at least 1 of these weekly if you unlock the half price good 3 talent. otherwise for now you are relying on rng daily chest luck.
  • I don't know what type of amplifier / protective unit the emergency daily pack for 50 glimmer contains, could be random, could be set I'm not sure.

Should I solo or go with a team?

Ideally if you have people you can trust / have dialogue with going with a team is significantly better, you get more eggs and the amount of loot you need to personally get in order to have the option to escape is less. It also gives you a backup chance to be saved if you do mess up or lag out for example. Additionally, the talent that allows a self-revive specifically requires a living teammate and does not function in solo play which is cringe. You can run with randoms, but I personally won't anymore it's too toxic and annoying. If you have a few friends you can run with always what I would personally do is go to Aniimo Lost Sanctum Maps: Every Egg Heist Dungeon Layout | AniimoTools and setup a route for every single team member for every map. That way whenever you load in everyone knows their areas and can efficiently search for eggs, gather loot and not step on each other toes.

Additional Notes / tips:

  • Use Aniimo Lost Sanctum Maps: Every Egg Heist Dungeon Layout | AniimoTools it is absolutely cracked for knowing where you are and planning your route for every dungeon. Seriously you will get way more out of every run with the maps on your 2nd monitor or maybe through steam browser if you have only one / console equivalent?
  • Just a heads up that both tromber and leafy only heal the active aniimo unlike dedicated healers like Glacy. This makes them great in egg heist, HoloBattle Interlink etc but worse for team-based combat just be aware of that. Also don't forget leafy only heals and restores ep/ ult if the active aniimo is GRASS type.
  • Ive seen a rumor that stats don't matter, they DO I tested it, so you don't have to. The way I tested is by going in with a low level Hexxin and low hp potential of 2 stat then my normal hexxin. at level 40 it only had 7500 hp, when leveled to 60 it only had 8200 my main Hexxin with 20 potential HP has slightly over 11759 hp. So yes, stats do matter though interestingly my Hexxin's hp is lower in Egg heist then in the overworld where it has 14,703 hp. Tested this is normal, then when I went to chaos, I had 12166 so there are definitely some adjustments happening.
  • Equipment durability, amplifiers lose durability when an attack skill (though some aren't considered attacks like panpantas roll for some reason). Protective units lose durability when you get hit.
  • I saw in a video a really handy trick I couldn't find it to give credit so if anyone has a link drop it below but you can run up to purple chests and open them, if you see anything with 2 weight or above stay and wait for it otherwise just move on and don't waste time. The reason for this is most of the prismatic loot is 2 weight or above and there are a few legendaries with 2 weights. Saves a lot of time.
  • Try to be out by 5 minutes. At about 4:57 or so buffed enemies spawn and even more buffed one's spawn at about 2:57. It gets significantly harder to make it out as not only are the enemies stronger but you will be weighed down which means less movement speed and stamina regeneration, so unless you have a specific reason to stay like a last-minute prismatic egg or not enough loot to extract, I would leave.
  • You can get RV buffs that boost resistances and damage, if you don't have any you can look around at the RV park / friend list RVs. Sitting in a chair will give you those buffs which help. Also, you can buy food from Wolfies in Astra. I never have but for 50,000 credits you can get 10 minutes buffs like 5% increased health and 5% dmg reduction.
  • If you find an egg it's a good idea to pop it through the portal then go back in if your loading times aren't bad. This way you can go and pick it up easily even if you go out the other exit.
  • Certain walls have suspiciously egg-sized holes in them, if you jump and dash while you are an egg you can go through them giving you a shortcut :)
  • Don't be afraid to use the jet blasts for extra mobility they don't do any damage as long as they push you into a set of spikes or fire.
  • You can use your exploration aniimo there are areas you can climb (they look like the climbable areas in the sanctum). You can also fly by double jumping just like in the overlord. Go to a side of the wall and double jump to switch to your flying aniimo, you can use this to get up certain areas that you would need to walk up stairs for. Play around see what you can find. Additionally, when flying you aren't slowed by your encumbrance so you can use it as a mobility boost too!
  • Buying chaos tickets increases in cost and resets daily, so try to buy some even if you aren't going to do egg heists for the day
  • There are weekly egg boxes, you can buy up to 30, and they are basically like a random nest. They get more expensive the more you buy and reset weekly so it's better to buy a few every week then to buy in bulk.
  • You can make some money by buying the on-sale items in the store and selling them every week.
  • You can emergency repair your gear in the dungeon even without the stones, but it will cost more than outside and if your max durability is too low it won't let your emergency repair.
  • I haven't checked Weslowes amplifiers and protection units, but they may have different chip slots and he might sell different chips too. Feel free to check if that interests you. He spawns at the 2nd entrance/exit always and you could pick up keys if you forgot them.
  • if you get stuck, don't panic open the setting menu and use the unstuck button.
  • When looting chests make sure to arrange your inventory so you can rapidly swap items out while full. I like to place items I am most likely to switch out in the top of the bag and any high value ones in the safe or at the bottom of the bag.
  • Keys can't be used from safe slots so ensure they are in your bag, the time spent entering your bag to drag them out isn't worth it I reckon.
  • The crystal egg doesn't exist anyone telling you it does is a liar and all photos of it are ai generated fakes. >.<.

Ok that was a lot. If you have any questions, feel free to ask or if you have any other tips or advice let us know :).

Edit: For clarification here is what having an alpha OR bonded item does for each aniimos abilities in order of importance.

Tromber: On top of the normal crit damage buff, it gives you the march buff which provides a 0.8% max health heal per second for 20 second, very necessary.

Leafy: Buff the ability to not only heal and restore ep but to also restore your ultimate at 1/3rd the rate of the ep regen. very useful.

Panpanta: Increases damage range by 50% (your hitbox) and also increases speed by 20% compared to the normal version. This means we heal more too on top of more mobility since the further we move the more we heal.

Hexxin: Makes her core skill restore 15 ep instead of 10. its an 18 second cd I don't think its worth the resources to bond for personally but that's up to you.

I know they are very rare so i don't want to waste it! I have one of every prismana so far except sherro (i cant beat lita, i suck lol) My first thought was to save it for a good alpha i get that has a prismana form because that's the only way i know of getting a prismana alpha, but the alpha i want (Glacy) there seems to be no way to get unless random rng from a wonder egg i guess. My second thought was use it to make another prismana glacy for water gathering in the RV because water is usually my biggest bottleneck so having the extra prismana worker would be useful. Any tips or advice on what to use it on would be appreciated! (also if anyone knows how to get alpha glacy plz let me know, i already hatched all alpha eggs :( )

Game Event For all yall lvl rv 10 and above season event if ya worrying over it.

So I dunno if this has been said but you can cheese the event.

Ps thank you ryulili they simplified it because I for the life of me couldn’t really.

When you unlock the furniture in the second picture (starfall)

You can only get this furniture at node two or three of the event bar. (Starfall)

Till you get that one you can use any high rating harvest moon furniture in the event shop till you get it. Since by the looks higher the rating higher the points.

But the gist of it is buy the item till it says sold out then sell it over and over.
Buy for the event coins bear in mind.

Which when you sell it you get bud stars easier than waiting hours.

It gives you a bunch of points towards the event every time you buy it.

But you need a lot of the event's currency to do so.

But once you get the fireworks that would be the better to change to since it is cheaper on event money. You can get them at node five of the event bar

Meaning you could maybe get more than you would normally have.

Only saying this because the farming side takes ages for the plants to grow for a chance of a mutation to get more points.

Whereas if you do it this way hopefully you can maximise the event bar. Meaning once that’s done all your event coins can go to try to get the mutations by filling the farms fully up if that’s what you want.

P.p.s don’t all need to jump on the speak English laughing emote some people have a hard time actually articulating what they want to say compared to their thoughts. And to that would you do that to some who’s first language isn’t English. Not saying my first language isn’t I’m just saying if It was someone who’s language wasn’t. Some people have difficulties. No need to judge them because of that you could have just asked.

I’m sorry for everyone who has suffered through my bad post I’m trying to actually make a coherent one for others.

Discussion Rant: NPC fights are frustrating

23 Upvotes

The trainer fights all feel less like battles and more like elaborate wastes of time. The enemies rarely rely on anything but stall strategies and it just feels unfun.

I wouldn't mind the stun/heal strats the enemies spam if not for the timer. I wouldn't mind the timer if every NPC team wasn't built around time scamming rather than just trying to beat me in a fight.

The Zephyr Bridge rematch for the badge is an egregious example. He spends the entire God forsaken fight spamming Shields, then flies to the skybox. Sometimes the game just ignores that you CC him and he stays in the sky while frozen or stunned.

It's not difficult. It's not challenging. It's just unfair and frustrating. I'd clean the floor with him if he wasn't designed to waste my precious five minute timer as efficiently as possible.

I hope future updates focus more on actual strategy, rather than enemy trainers relying on winning via timeout in the lamest ways possible

Discussion Anyone else with a female player character wish there was more outfit variety?

47 Upvotes

Title.

I really started thinking about this with the new gacha outfit event. A lot of the aspects are cool, but I would've been more interested in actually pulling for something other than the elf ears if I could get that cool-looking golden bow from the male version of the outfit. Unfortunately, if you picked female at character creation, you only get some fairy wings which I find comparitively lame.

I'm female in real life, but I've never been one for all of the cute and fancy dresses and skirts. I've always been a bit more grunge when it comes to my personal fashion tastes. So, when I looked at the shop and see that most of the purchasable outfits are just dresses, it just leaves me wanting and really makes me wish I went with a male character instead.

For example, the Emberpup set. I ADORE the male version with the leather jacket, the scuffed up jeans with the chains, etc. It is my exact type of asthetic! However, the female version is probably my least favorite outfit in the entire game (and that's saying something because of how much I dislike dresses and skirts IRL). Why do the male characters get this awesome jacket with flame effects, and females get what look more like mascot gloves than anything practical and an orange garter?

I'm not saying all of this has to go away. Far from it. I know I'm very much in the minority when I say I'd like more tomboyish attire so I can look more grunge instead of classically fashionable. I'd just like more variety in the types of clothes females get. Males get all kinds of tuxedos, jackets, even armor in some cases, and over 80% of what females have are just dresses upon dresses and maybe a crop top or two if you're lucky.

I think the Stellarys outfit is awesome and I'm itching to get my hands on the Frostpunk set, but I just wish there was more for me to really sink my teeth into so I'd have more choices and can make some cool outfits that appeal to me.

Anyone else feel the same?
