reverie

in case anybody was wondering what these runs were like. this basically sums it up

that's what wind is for

Clarity please!

some extremely cursed things are happening in coop tonight

Who misses old pre origin fighter hexa? #vintagehexa #nostalgia

I would love if it took multiple days but I feel like it's doomed with infinite retries

hexa was more fun before origin fighter 😔

I think this should count as some kind of achievement?

happy birthday!

happy birthday!

really makes you understand why all bosses are immune to vanilla charm nowadays

*charge conv roulette

am I just fluking or is this setup actually weirdly consistent? the world will never know (uboost roulette + yellow sword + 12 skill + fire 9)

"let's see if dropping grid torch gets me killed 100-80", I say, and accidentally clear

(slower because yellow sword)

rngesus take the wheel moment right there

did I purposefully go on a rant about how boring faa solos are to bait the universe into letting me clear? well, maybe

average fire player does 0 higuless faa solos per year. spiders reverie, who lives in c

get me out of here

dpm chasing in non-ta hexas is also kinda unfun because there's a lot more places where mashing too hard griefs the raid or you're dependent on everyone else to move quickly

(though in some sense, being forced to engage with raid pacing is part of what I like about hexa)

that makes sense! in a speed chasing context you also... basically don't see the boring or repetitive sections of faa, just the fun/complex bits

whereas if you're doing ta in hexa there's a good chance you're just going to see a bunch of jinxes and won't engage with any of the interesting parts

I forgot about that but it's true! though I do think wind/water being forced to work around either being down a bar or not having their evoker produces some fun comps

maybe I just played way too much faa or way too little faa or way too much hexa or both lol

in conclusion, I tried magna light solo in faa once or twice and got bored, and now I'm making it your problem (by making you read this)

thanks for coming to my ted talk

I do think faa has some reactive elements - 20-0 is fairly reactive for me, since you get cancel rng + labor rng + labor 12 debuff rng, though that might also be the terror memes talking

in theory apples are reactive too, but I end up just memorizing the routing and then it's a flowchart raid again

when I play hexa solos, I feel like I get to make decisions in response to the raid - do I push into an hp threshold? do I cancel this fc omen or do I wait and cancel the next one instead? do I press buttons to trigger or avoid a 50m? do I guard for damage control?

now, of course, let's consider my beautiful wife hexachromatic hierarch

if I am being perfectly honest, some elements do have extremely repetitive hexa solos (I'm looking at you, wind). but at least you're not just seeing the same two omens for approximately half the raid xd

I think a lot of the challenge in soloing faa is happening before you ever enter the raid, in the part where you decide how to solve all the problems it presents

this is a good kind of challenge! coming up with solves is fun! but the thought of clearing on a copied setup just fills me with ennui

(disclaimer: I have done one (1) faa solo in my life)

to me, faa solo has the same problem as subhl solo, which is that it's extremely boring and repetitive to play, but also it has a bunch of mechanics which heavily restrict the space of viable teams

the world if fire had a 20 cb gain main summon

sometimes he just decides to murder someone! iirc at one point I had one character eat like 12 or 15 autos in one attack there
