    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    I'm currently doing a 750 calorie deficit (1.5 pounds a week) and still gaining strength. In fact, my last cut (Jan-May 2014) I only started to lose strength about 8 weeks into it. This time I'm doing IF with a feeding window of 12pm-8pm. Higher carbs on workout days and higher fats on...

    Yes, Kira's batch just got added. The others are newish on JP. I'm just saying that in the next 2 months or so the 7*'s will likely be out of control and the starters worthless. And no, I wouldn't bother summoning until a legit rate up. I had never run Mecha's on JP without using Selena. I...

    Ultimate Brave Burst (unlocked on 7* units when they max out their SBB). You fill up the bar at the bottom. Next turn you can use it like a brave burst (I think it's swipe left?) and it empties the bar but nothing happens. At this point you can fill the bar up again (red under the unit using...

    Honestly, the starter 7*'s are only semi-useful. They're fucking amazing if you're new and can use them as friends, but otherwise they're kind of niche. Eze, Lance and Vargas are pretty much useless. Selena is a solo monster (use her for mecha farming). Atro and Magress are basically useful for...

    Yeah, carbs are kind of the enemy if you're trying to lose weight. I do higher fats on non-workout days and higher carb on workout days though, just because I need that extra energy. If you really want to learn about the "why's" you should start reading up about how insulin gets effected...

    I know this is for the NCAA tournament, but holy fuck Murray State cannot catch a break. They lose the OVC Championship to a bunch of bullshit 3's from 5-10 feet behind the arc, and now they're bumped out of the NIT to a bullshit toss up.

    Selena team? Are you trying to do a mono-water team? If so, don't. Mono teams are dead. Just throw her on your OTK or spark team and roll with it.

    It's not a rate up for them, they're just in the summon pool. I'm waiting to see if they do a rate up before wasting gems. Right now it's about a 1-2% chance.

    I leveled up my Edea already because people had been mentioning her getting it. Already had Alice maxed out too. Not sure I want to bother with Loch. Mine has been sitting at 4* forever because it's a guardian. As far as the starter dungeons, it's likely that lvl 2 provides a much higher drop...

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    From what I've read, he kind of lucked into it. As for the QB situation, I'm thinking this is just McCloughan building the team how he wants it. It's also likely a way to pressure anyone who's thinking of drafting a QB high to trade up with Washington. We may not really want a QB, but if you...

    I got all mine from regular honor summons (and maybe one during SHS). The only one I'm unhappy with is Vargas where the best typing I've ever gotten was guardian. That said, I've probably used several hundred regular honor summons to amass them all. I've been playing a LONG time, and never...

    In the next few weeks, your entire friends list will likely be 7* Selena's with maybe a handful of Atro's and Magress's. That's how it was on JP. And then in 2-3 months, replace half of those with Feeva's and Kira's. That's kind of the point where I stopped playing JP, because there's no...

    I just said fuck it and burned a lot of burst frogs too (did 3 BB's with units). Mine is a lord (pulled about 4 oracles), and lvl 99 right now. But at least the UBB is finally unlocked! Arena is my bitch now. Anyway, if you need to evo your 7*'s, I highly recommend you grab a Selena. She...

    Man, Mecha dungeon is way harder when you don't have a 7* Selena to use. Apparently I should have used Tridon to help out with it. Oh well. Should have my Selena up soon (working on BB, but I'd say within the next 1-2 hours she'll be maxed out). Edit: Selena's being a bitch. Threw 25 units...

    Not interested in Kira batch? Have you used Feeva yet? It's seriously one of the most ridiculous units in the game. Plus, the Elimo batch won't be here for a long while.

    Brave Frontier

    Yeah, they honestly don't have much use. UBB is a worthless feature to me because it takes up an entire turn (you use the UBB and then have to fill up the UBB bar to "use" it). Selena is a monster because if you put Lexida on her she's almost unkillable. Atro and Magress I guess have some...

    I'm interested to see how 7*'s will be handled since we don't have achievements in yet. Mostly, I'm excited about multi sell. It's so frustrating when I switch over from JP to global and have to individually sell stuff.

    Deanna (I think?) mentioned something about there being way more zombies outside their walls than had been there in a long time. At the time I thought it was a "W" foreshadowing, that maybe they were somehow bringing zombies with them?

    Maxwell is actually incredibly easy. It's really just about knowing the fight and sometimes playing it safe (if you lose track of turns, there's no harm in guarding and mitigating a few turns). It just ends up being time consuming. It took me like 6 or 7 tries on global to do Maxwell. I...

    OTK is the best strategy for GGC's. Unfortunately with the way they were designed you'll get one shotted through mitigation. I don't remember your units, but I'd definitely take Elza and with a Maxwell friend you should be ok. I finally made it to RC3. What a fucking pain in the ass it is...

    Sometime after Grand Quests get released. Which is supposed to be in the next 2 weeks. That said, who knows how many quests they'll release. You need quest 3 for Karl 6* and 5 for Grahdens 6*. Just in case you're curious, quest 3 also gives Graham, quest 4 is to evo Seria 6*, quest 6 gives...

    First time I've gone with Lario for FH. Got 1.78m. Lario, Shida, Shera, Elza, Exvehl, Maxwell friend. I OTK'd like half of the rounds. Not sure how to adjust this though. I also ran into a problem with killing the multiple mobs on different turns twice.

    Yes, all of the trial units are lord only. Karl, Grahdens, Maxwell, and Cardes. As for starters, there ARE dungeons where they can drop, but they haven't been around in like a year. So your only real option is honor summons. From what I've seen in the last 2 months or so, they have a higher...

    Not that anyone gives a shit about a mid-major, but that's why Murray State lost the OVC. Belmont was hitting 3's from 5-10 feet behind the arc all fucking night.

    Yeah, it's significantly less. It may be 1/3 the population and not 1/4 though. I want to say it's about 20 million for global, and 5-6 million for JP. Anyway, for other things, a new FH is coming tonight. And in about 2 weeks we'll be getting 7* starters. Grand quests are supposed to...
