    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    There is a very.incomplete list somewh ere on reedit with maybe 50 monsters. I do remember a few surprises. Fire Amazon gets massive multiplier on thrd skill. All elemental drunken masters scale very well. Wind sylph has an utterly retarded multiplier for third skill. 800 or 900%. Reapers...

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    I'll second this. Hyperion & The Fall of Hyperion are hands down the best SFF novels I've ever read, and among the best novels I've ever read, especially if you enjoy good writing, because Simmons can go toe to toe with the most fleet-footed stylists in SF. Book 3 is't anywhere near as good as...

    Damn, Ziggurat on daily sale. It worth $7.50?

    Brave Frontier

    I have fucking incredible luck in this game (perhaps the cosmic powers that be are compensating me for my absolute shit luck in Summoners War) but my lineup seems positively mundane on account of how infrequently I summon - f2p almost all the way and spending my gems on item and monster space...

    What did you just read?

    The Origins of Political Order: From Prehuman Times to the French Revolution - Kindle edition by Francis Fukuyama. Politics Social Sciences Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. Haven't finished it - in point of fact, just started it. I don't think the title requires any sort of elaboration - if it...

    Brave Frontier

    Should I 5* that tree and set it as my rep unit instead of Uda for more friend requests? I need a profusion of friend requests but the reality of my inconsistent playtime must remain secret.

    Brave Frontier

    Christ, all I seem to get is healers lately. I play this only once every few days and summon far less often, but in the past month I've gotten a second Elimo and some weird looking treant dude.

    Gophone is At&T's prepaid service. Verizon has one as well - i think it's $50/ month with unlimited talk, text and like half a gig of web I think.

    Smartphones

    Consider the Iphone 5C for freeness and smallness if you go back under contract. If you stick with what you have now, you should be able to call customer service and enroll in some sort of autopay. You won't get a bill -- just an automatic deduction at each pay period.

    Smartphones

    I think you might run into the issue that the cheapest, crappiest smartphone (contract) is now going to be 4g and thus use a micro SIM. Smaller SIM, physically. They can probably just upgrade you without using a new SIM, though. But why go under contract if you intend to use a phone you already...

    Smartphones

    Nope - I'm actually working as a phone rep there while I work my way through college (again). Gift card promo ends Xmas eve, I think. Valid for ATT, VZW, USCell. Probably more, but those are the only three contract carriers at the local store. I don't understand why more people don't go to...

    books on College algebra through Calc

    I also just returned to college. I petitioned (successfully) to be allowed into Precalculus sans testing, and I'd recommend you do the same if they'll let you. I found it pretty hard, but no foreknowledge was really required. Basically an overview of algebra, geometry and trig, and repeated...

    Fucking hell, $200? My local Walmart has them for $79 and they're giving out $75 gift cards with them.

    Smartphones

    So the charge port on my SIII just broke completely and I'm needing to upgrade my phone. I don'twantto upgrade - my SIII was fine, even for new games - but I'm gonna get a high-end phone regardless. It's either gonna be the S 5 or the IPHN6. I'm really liking what I've heard and seen from the...

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    Opened 25 mystical scrolls I've saved over like a month and a half and got Water Samurai (allegedly the worst) and 24 3*. So I'm done...again. We'll see how long it lasts.

    Rerolled "Best Game of 2014"

    Best was Dark Souls II. Then, in no order: Smash Bros Wii U Persona Q Shin Megami IV (eligible on the bullshit technicality that it was released in Europe this year)

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    Yeah she's helpful for B7 - and her DoT doesn't hurt, either. But I either need more damage or a way of dispelling the Bombs. Chloe's invuln doesn't work if she goes after some and before other characters.

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    The problem I have is Shannon + Orochi + Chloe (other two are situational) are my chief dungeoneers. Orochi can survive to the boss but he doesn't wreck him like he does the other two. Shannon usually dies on the way or shortly into the boss fight. Shannon's also only 5*. I have a 6* Megan but I...

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    I'm working on Valk fusion and all I need is 2 high fire essence and that fucking wind werewolf. I fucking annihilate water and wind b7, but fire I can't handle. Edit: and like 8 high magic, but whatever.

    CCan anybody recommend a decent Let's Play for somebody interested in starting the game? Youtube's awash with them, but I've got no fucking idea which one I'd be best served watching.

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    There seemed to be a sudden and simultaneous loss of interest for a lot of people here a little while ago, so not sure if the guild is still going or not. I'm still playing for about 30 minutes a day, so toss me (Balzmir) an invite for daily assistance. Give me your ID and tell me when you do it...

    My precious Donkey Kong seems worse than ever. On the other hand, my precious Jigglypuff seems to have gotten a buff!

    Brave Frontier

    Been grinding the Fourfold Pillar (or whatever it's called) today and gone from like 45 to 49. Just trying to gain some BB fodders and some gold in anticipation of Pot Vortex, which'll get me close to 5*ing some of my units. Anyway, leveling is super quick and I'm wondering if there's any...

    Not sure when they changed the energy recover rates (just started after long hiatus) but it's now too short. In fear of burnout already =p.

    Brave Frontier

    Holy fucking hell you guys weren't kidding about Uda and Luther. Assembled a throwaway party (80 Kikuri, 60 Lunaris, 55ish Radyn, 60 Luther and 38 Uda leader) pretty much by just throwing in my highest level decent units + Uda and Luther. It massacres my old team handily. Can't wait to level and...

    Wii U

    Can't fucking wait for Smash Wii U. My roommates and I STILL play the Wii Version regularly. Hope they made Donkey Kong and Jiggly a little better, though - they're my favorites.

    Brave Frontier

    Just did some summons, and I had more than I had originally thought already. My rare summons are now: Kikuri (G), Alice (G), Lunaris (L), Eric x 2 (lolz) Themis (B), Lebra (G) Grybe(G), Loch (G), Garnan (L), Uda (G) Ophelia (G), Luly (A), Kuhla (O), Dilma (L) Arius (G), Lucina (A), Dean...

    Brave Frontier

    Is Elimo any good? Analysis on Reddit is effusive, but it's dated - just returned to the game and found out my Lunaris, Alice, Kikuri are no longer hot shit. I am and was playing extremely casually, and I pulled those out of maybe five summons - ever.

    I wanted to pick this up again on account of Summoners War's insane stinginess, but it's crashing every time I try to launch it

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    All of it. I have them now. Too much energy spent to make the rewards worthwhile - at least if you gt drops as infrequently as I did.

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    It's super low. Just another example of these guys excitedly offering putative benefits that'll likely require either a) energy refills or b) prioritizing a long grind in areas otherwise useless. Used a week's worth of +2- and + 40 energy and all available +50 energy from the event and 2 or 3...

    Binding of Isaac Rebirth (Nov 4th)

    As an extremely casual BoI player (~25 hours played, spaced over a few months) I can't really identify what's new and what isn't, outside of some new bosses. What I can identify and do appreciate, though, is that this isn't powered by fucking flash anymore. Certainly gonna be fun to unlock all...

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    I'm still playing but my interest has been on a gradual decline for about a month now. Leveled my third 6* tonight and my resources are so exhausted - no spare 2*, 3*, 4* or 5* fodder, ~200k mana - that I can't even countenance logging back on for the time being. Edit: Going from a few 4*...
