General tips and answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
- NEVER feed non-farmable monsters! (you can feed dupes for skill ups)
- Save your devilmons! In general you do not want to give devilmon to 4* units, Sigmarus and Jeanne are the best early game candidates. Veromos does not need devilmon.
- Best summon stone targets: Tyron, Lushen, Shaina, Sabrina, Talia. For PvP Khmun, Skogul, Galleon.
- Check the events for free energy, mana, and other beneficial stuff. To find the current event pages use the button below the energy/mana counter in-game.
- Lapis can farm Faimon Hell on the free 6* level 15 vampire/revenge runes provided by the challenges. She should be your first 5* and probably 6* as well.
- Shield sets can reduce the HP/DEF requirements on other units and multiple shield sets will stack to form one larger total shield. Each set contributes a shield equal to 15% of the base HP of the monster they are equipped on.
- White artifacts from B2 are cheap to upgrade and can give you a massive stat boost early.
- Hall of Heroes (HoH) should be attempted as high as you can climb. Reps like Rica or Verad can help a lot. Mid/late game players can get 5 extra copies of the HoH monster using almighty scroll pieces after each floor at the small cost of 2000 guild points for each extra monster.
- Most nat 5*s are PvP exclusive and should be set aside in storage till you make some progress on PvE. Some exceptions are CC units like Rica for ToA, cleansers like Anavel for starter R5, and Perna for rifts.
- Dimensional hole energy should be spent as soon as possible, always try to stay under the energy cap (recharge rate: 1 per 2h). 2A Kro first, then Spectra or Raoq.

2024.05.13 01:09 MLGZedEradicator Reminder: Durability isn't a Static Property; It's the Blow you DON'T see coming that's most likely to knock you out; Superheavyweights are not Invincible
| https://thetaichinotebook.com/2019/12/27/the-punch-you-didnt-see-coming/ "When boxers or MMA practitioners get knocked out by a punch it’s usually from one they didn’t see coming. The counterpunch is a deadly strike in combat because at the very moment you think you are punching them, they’re hitting you. Its effectiveness is partly down to surprise, and o ften you get a double impact because the attacker is moving forward into the punch of the counter attacker – a perfect example of ‘ using their own force against them’." "I believe the answer is to do with jin and the subconscious mind. When you can see a punch coming, your brain can – in the fractions of a second you have available, – make subtle postural adjustments so that the force is absorbed by your body better against the ground. This is similar to the idea of a jin path to the ground we’ve already talked about. I believe we automatically and subconsciously do this in response to any impact we can see coming. When we can’t see that punch coming it’s more damaging because we are not ‘in position’ to receive it as well." Essentially, people defend against blows they can't outright evade or block by either tensing their muscles at the moment of impact, or by by "riding" with the punch to reduce the force (relaxing muscles and moving away from the punch or twisting your neck etc. https://www.artofmanliness.com/skills/manly-know-how/how-to-take-a-punch/ https://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/momentum/Lesson-1/Real-World-Applications https://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Punch https://www.mensjournal.com/sports/how-to-take-a-punch But firstly, people can't remain tense 24/7 in a fight in every muscle, it takes too much energy/stamina (which is why Kiryu just waited for the moment that Ohma could no longer remain tense in their fight, and Mark Myers eventually got tired too), on top of slowing your movements down, so it's something experienced fighters usually only deploy discretely and not continously during a fight. https://preview.redd.it/br77b7zle20d1.png?width=768&format=png&auto=webp&s=56101595b8d37ecade967109ca2c2fb9006cd475 https://gettingthingsdone.com/2017/03/a-tense-muscle-is-a-slow-one/ And secondly, you're obviously not always gonna have enough time to roll with a punch or relax muscles at impact. This brings me to the point about Superheavyweights. https://preview.redd.it/j2ltyrrjp20d1.png?width=847&format=png&auto=webp&s=c3ef09439784fd2dc4b7a21d821fe203b271feb3 It's noted for example Waka had to Clench his muscles at the moment of impact to defend against Muteba's spear, and if he didn't, he would have lost. Just simply having strong muscles in general helps a lot, but they aren't enough in every situation if you aren't on guard and ALSO actively tensing them. This was foreshadowed by Waka himself back during Muteba vs Seki. Waka is obviously> Seki in durability, but specifically notes that if Muteba's level of attack can decisively put down Seki, then in the same conditions (striking from outside awareness), it's probable it can put down Waka too. This makes sense, given Seki is a heavyweight while Waka is a Superheavy weight (about a 115 pound difference), and Nicholas Le Banner said that the average middleweight and the average heavyweight aren't massively different in durability ( and irl it seems the average heavyweight is 250-260 lbs, while the average middle weight is 160 pounds, again around a 100 lb difference). Moreover, It's noted that Kuroki's Blows when amped by expertly and precisely striking from outside of awareness is > Gaolang's AND Waka's blows who Kanoh had managed to survive against still managed due to subtly diverting their impact and tensing etc. So when you see Ohma, ON-GUARD for Wakatsuki's liver blow and using indestructible to guard against it ( thus excercising his maximum durability potential), you can't compare that to Julius getting hit from outside of h is awareness ( who is OFF-GUARD due to directing too much of his attention at the fake blast core and thus at his lowest possible durability), it's comparing apples to oranges. You need to compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges. Technique is important, hitting a person at the right time and at the right angle and striking them in a vital point when they're off-guard is more important than simple raw power. https://preview.redd.it/axjgsmj7p20d1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=62c07c0e3d04847ba030c4c4212357c5bfec1923 This is the same issue people neglect with Lolong vs Toa Mudo, where not only is Lolong using a precisely timed counter from outside of awareness which creates a "car crash" effect, Lolong is clearly depicted as very physically strong for his weight class, owing to his particularly fast and thus high kinetic energy punches, combined with other potential factors like above average bone density in his hands and arms allowing for more devastating impacts. submitted by MLGZedEradicator to Kengan_Ashura [link] [comments] |
2024.05.12 20:03 Efficient-Forever341 In memory of... (Do You remember who died on May 13, 2014 in Chicago Fire?)
In memory of Leslie Shay 10 years ago, on May 13, 2014, Leslie Shay (played by Lauren German), the fan-favorite character of the NBC studio's series Chicago Fire, died in the finale of the second season. True, viewers only learned about this when the third season started. The death of the character was followed by an uproar from the audience, the popularity of the series (which had been on the rise until then) and the number of viewers decreased, because many people stopped watching the series due to Shay's death, including the author of this post (I reached the end of the third season).
Due to the anniversary, I started researching on the Internet to better understand why Shay's character was destined for this fate, and using quite a few references and also abundant with
spoilers, I will share with everyone what I came up with in this post. I will also write my own opinion.
(I apologize for any grammatical errors, I did not write the post in English and I created the English version with the help of Google Translate) Shay's character probably doesn't need to be introduced to anyone, but if you do, this link nicely summarizes why everyone loved her so much.
https://screenrant.com/chicago-fire-leslie-shay-lauren-german-best-traits-facts-trivia/ When I started researching the topic, I read that despite the fact that Chicago Fire is already in its 13th season, Shay remains one of the most loved and most missed characters to this day. However, later, when I wrote the post, I could not find the source again, if anyone can send a link to this topic, please do so.
It is clear that if the series loses such a popular character, it will have an impact and will shake the viewers. Well, it turns out, more than anything in the show's 13 seasons. I found a lot of sources to prove this:
1) People's Choice Awards, USA, 2015 / Favorite TV Character We Miss Most
In the above category, Shay made it to the top 5, which no one else did later.
https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000530/2015/1?ref_=nmawd_ev_1 2) Most shocking TV deaths of all time
https://tvline.com/lists/shocking-tv-deaths/leslie-shay-chicago-fire/ Shay is also included in the top 100 list above, as well as two other characters from the entire One Chicago franchise, Elias Koteas as Alvin Olinsky and Yuri Sardarov as Otis. Thus, Shay was on a list with the likes of Teri Bauer (24), Lance Sweets (Bones), Bobby Ewing (Dallas) or Ned Stark (GoT)
3) And this is what ChatGPT answered when it was asked which of the characters in Chicago Fire had the most heartbreaking death (short quote from the answer):
"The most heartbreaking character death was definitely Leslie Shay. Oh, it was gut-wrenching! Shay, played by the incredibly talented Lauren German, was such a beloved and integral member of Firehouse 51....."
https://onechicagocenter.com/2023/07/24/heartbreaking-chicago-fire-death-according-ai-not-otisi/ 4) If I use the Google Search service, the answer to this search will also be Shay:
Question: "chicago fire most heartbreaking death"
Answer: "Leslie Shay died in a fire"
Searching the internet, it became clear to me that it wasn't just Shay's death that shocked viewers, but also the fact that the show's creators made the decision to get rid of Shay's character. This decision raised many questions and problems, which I will go through below. There are a lot of posts and articles on the internet about why Lauren German left the series, but in fact they were all based on a single, otherwise amazingly short interview that was made with Matt Olmstead. I found this at this link:
https://tvline.com/interviews/lauren-german-leaving-chicago-fire-shay-killed-off-549958/ If anyone has seen or read other interviews or other information, please share them.
I read a lot of comments under the link above, and I would like to thank everyone for expressing their opinions there. I read a lot of things in the comments that I didn't even think of at first, but it's good that they brought them to my attention, because I completely agreed with them.
- The creators of the series killed off the third female character in 2 seasons, who was also one of the main characters.
- Killing a character directly just for the sake of dramatic effect is already quite a boring solution
- Olmstead praised Lauren German's talent a lot in the interview, but then why didn't the producers try to keep the actress?
- Olmstead stated that there will be no flashbacks involving Shay. But in the first episode there were 4 (from Severide, Dawson and Boden)
- The LGBT community also received a slap in the face, as an openly lesbian character was killed off. This is also a solution that has been seen many times and is boring.
- Shay and Severide's relationship was one of the prominent aspects of the series, which made it worth watching, in fact, according to many, it was such a novel and well-constructed thread that the creators of the series were praised for this. After Shay's death, without the dynamism of their relationship, the series became boring.
- Opinions also suggested that perhaps the goal was to attract the right target audience with Shay's lesbian character, but they no longer wanted to retain this group of viewers, so it was a harsh decision made from a business point of view by the creators
- Olmstead defended the decision by saying that they could bring more and more storylines into the series, while without Shay's character, the exact opposite was true.
- He also claimed that all the characters were assessed on equal footing when the decision was made. In comparison, they immediately replaced Shay with a new character who looked like her, was not a lesbian like Shay, and was 10 years younger. Because Lauren German was born in 1978, Kara Killmer in 1988. The message of this change was extremely bad in the eyes of the viewers
- There was a commenter who suggested that the change was made so that the new character could be romantically involved with one of the male characters, and this actually happened during the third season when Brett and Cruz got together
- If the purpose of Shay's death was to show how unpredictable life is, they should have paid much more attention to the details. The first part of the third season is full of mistakes and unrealistic solutions
- It is strange that the interview only mentions in a few sentences what Lauren said to the fact that the creators of the series essentially fired her. In connection with this, it occurred to me that something else could have been behind the decision, which was never made public, but of course this is just a hunch.
- As far as I know, Lauren German was the only main character in the history of Chicago Fire who did not leave the series by her own decision
There were many other strange things about Shay's death that could be found by searching the internet. I will also go through these in order.
A) Let's return briefly to the fact that the popularity of the series decreased during the third season. This can be checked here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_(franchise))
Based on this, it can be definitely stated that whoever made this decision, for whatever reason, caused damage to the series.
The data:
First season, ranking 51, number of viewers 7.78M Second season, ranking 31, number of viewers 9.70M Third season, ranking 47, number of viewers 9.65M The first season brought good numbers, and it can be seen from the data that its popularity increased for the next season. However, the ranking of the series dropped almost to the initial level by the third season, and although the number of viewers did not decrease so significantly, the reason for this is probably that, in addition to the viewers who left, there were still those who only joined at that time. Another interesting fact is that the third season is the only one where Dick Wolf is mentioned as showrunner. It is possible that during the third season he wanted to be more involved in the development of the story, and it was his decision to pull something unexpected in the series, so Shay's death is due to him. Here is a show-like interview with the whole team, in which I found it strange that Dick Wolf was given the central place on the stage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2tCrma7t5o&t=2s It was as if they suggested that he was the most important person. It can be imagined that he always had the final say in making decisions. As a counter-example, I saw an interview with the actors of The Avengers, where one of the directors was present, and the Russo brother remained nicely in the background, since everyone was interested in the actors, Iron Man, and Thor, etc. However, this was not the case in this interview. Obviously, I'm not a behavioral researcher, so I can't draw important conclusions from a single interview.
Of course, it is also easy to imagine that the writing team made an independent decision, but did not count on how much the omission of Shay's character would turn fans away from the series. Thus, Dick Wolf was the savior when he was forced to intervene personally in shaping the story to mitigate the damage. Of course, it is also possible that these events and what I wrote about the video above have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
B) It's also strange how many storylines with negative outcomes were connected to Shay's character during the first 2 seasons. She was seriously injured several times (the ambulance accident in the first season, the hospital bombing in the second season), and she went through several crises in her personal life. Her first love, Clarice, left her, and months later she broke Shay's heart a second time. Devon tricked and robbed her. When Severide and Shay wanted a baby, she failed to conceive. A patient of her, Daryl, whom she sympathized with, committed suicide in front of her eyes, and Shay also fell into depression after that, while her paramedic partner and friend, Dawson, did not care about Shay's mental breakdown at all. During the two seasons, she was almost hit by a car, almost shot, stabbed with a syringe, which could have been contagious, and there must have been other cases that I left out of the list. Then came the third season, where basically the firefighters who were inside a huge explosion were not hurt at all, while Shay, who was on the ground floor of the building, died in this explosion. On the part of the writers, this amount of negativism was perhaps already excessive and quite unrealistic (like the case of Doctor Romano in ER, who was hit by the helicopter). It's like the creators didn't really like the character, or didn't want to do anything with her other than build viewers' empathy / sympathy for Shay so they could switch it to a dramatic twist when the time was right. But that's the opposite of good storytelling in my view. My opinion is that the reason for Shay's popularity is not to be found in the "grateful" storylines written for her, because we will find it only and exclusively in the fantastic performance of Lauren German
C) It's very strange that Leslie Shay was a main character in the first 2 seasons, but if you look at the Instagram page of the series (more specifically, the entire One Chicago franchise), you can see that Shay's character received very little attention.
https://www.instagram.com/nbconechicago/ At the time of writing this post, there were 3588 posts on the site. I took the trouble to check if my hunch was right and scrolled through to the posts about the first 3 seasons.
Number of pictures where Shay is clearly visible among many people in a group picture: 15
Number of photos where Shay is with 1-2 other people: 27
Number of photos featuring only Shay: 6 Yes, I didn't write a bad number, among 3588 pictures a total of 6 individual photos were given to one of the main characters of the first 2 seasons of the series, perhaps the most popular character of the series to date. Although Lauren German is a famously reclusive actress, she even has more selfies on her Instagram than that
D) It's also very strange that in the third season they introduced a storyline that says Shay's death was caused by arson. Unfortunately, the execution of all this was extremely clumsy and illogical for me. It was already revealed during the first 2 seasons that Shay's parents are divorced, they live in two separate cities, and that she has no sisters. You could tell this from the fact that when Severide and Shay talked about who would take care of their baby if something happened to both of them, Dawson's name immediately came up. It's illogical that Shay wouldn't have said her sister. In fact, the whole thread felt more like a readjusting to placate fans who would channel their frustration and anger over Shay's death onto the arsonist in the story - instead of the show's writers.
E) It occurred to me that maybe Lauren's relationship with her colleagues was not good, and for the sake of peace, the creators got rid of the character. This suggestion is probably the furthest from reality, I have a lot of hits that prove that Lauren maintained a very good relationship with her co-stars even later. Here are some examples of this

"I miss her like crazy," he said about Lauren German. "She was a great scene partner. Great actor. Someone to work with and someone to confide in. It was an honest relationship. We hung out off the stages, too. I didn’t take that too easy.”
F) It's also interesting that I've been able to find almost nothing online about what Lauren thought about what happened to Leslie Shay's character. What we do know from Matt Olmstead's interview is that she joked that she wasn’t going to miss the Chicago winters (she’s a California girl). Other than that, this is the only reaction from Lauren that can still be found, it's completely professional and polite, and perhaps it's no coincidence that she thanked the fans the most for their support
https://cartermatt.com/133627/chicago-fire-season-3-lauren-german-speaks-shay-premiere-shocke "Hello beautiful people! I want to say thank you to NBC, Dick Wolf and the entire team for letting me be a part of such an amazing experience. I have to say I've never been around a more gifted, special, heartfelt, funny and loving cast and crew as with the CF gang. The show gave me so many priceless gifts. I'm forever grateful. I mostly want to thank the fans for their support and love on this journey. You all are so beautiful. It was a great honor to portray Shay. I love her: her spirit, her flaws, her honesty. And most of all she brought me the most genuine & meaningful interactions with you all, the fans, & my heart swells with gratitude. Thank you, thank you! So much love to you all.”
F) UPDATE I just found this article, which for some reason didn't come up amongst the search results for the past few weeks.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2016/1/22/18408021/chicago-fire-alum-lauren-german-having-devilishly-good-time-on-lucifer In this article, Lauren told a sweet story that I believe happened during the filming of the pilot episode of Lucifer:
Given her time on “Chicago Fire,” guest starring on “Chicago P.D.” and now on “Lucifer,” has German changed the way she reads about or watches crime stories in the news?
“I think so, but mainly I think my experiences have made me have even more respect for first responders than I did before I went to Chicago. Sure, I always respected them and paid attention when I’d see a fire truck going by or hear about the cops getting the bad guy.
“But after the training we went through with the firemen and paramedics in Chicago — plus now having worked with homicide detectives to prepare for ‘Lucifer’ — I can’t tell you how much I respect these guys and women.”
German found herself the butt of a few jokes during the filming of a huge scene in Los Angeles near the Dolby Theatre — the site of the annual Oscars show.
“There were helicopters flying overhead, there was all this commotion, but we also had real firemen there. It wasn’t too long after I left ‘Chicago Fire,’ so they were yelling at me, ‘You went to the dark side!’ They were really kidding me about going from playing a paramedic to playing detective.
“Of course the cops on the scene were yelling just the opposite — telling me, ‘No! You’ve come to the bright side!’ I loved that, because that’s the fun friendly competition between the firemen and police officers. It’s kind of like Army vs. Navy.
“But of course, at the end of the day, everyone’s on the same team. These people are my heroes.”
In addition, she also talked about her previous work here, based on which it can be stated that the rumors that she wanted to quit are completely unfounded (I considered this suggestion so unfounded that I didn't even include it in my post). She also confirmed what was also discussed in point E).
German did admit she misses “the whole Chicago crew I worked with — and the wonderful fans in Chicago too. Everyone in your town is so great.”
The actress said she considers co-star Monica Raymund “my best girlfriend” and also keeps up with fellow “Chicago Fire” castmates Taylor Kinney and Jesse Spencer “quite a bit.”
“In fact just the other day, Monica asked me that after I wrap [the initial 13 episodes of] ‘Lucifer’ to come over [to Chicago] for a few days and hang out with those guys. So I may do that around the end of February.”
If so, it’s likely German and her “Chicago Fire” pals will make a beeline to the Palm restaurant on East Wacker Drive.
“Taylor and Jesse and I lived in the same building [on the New East Side], and we’d go to the Palm like three times a week. It was so cozy there. We even had our own regular little booth!”
End of update
In regards to the oddities above, I can even imagine that Lauren's agent or agents had a hard time agreeing on a possible contract extension, and because of this, the creators preferred to get rid of the character of Shay. If that was the case, we will never know. However, if the decision-making really took place in the way and according to the criteria as stated in the Matt Olmstead interview, then it can be seen in retrospect that this was an extremely bad decision by the studio and that the writing team made a huge mistake
I am slowly coming to the end of my research, but before that I would like to discuss the mistakes that the writers made in the first part of the third season - perhaps these mistakes could indicate that they were very hasty during the implementation, or that they did not think through at all how to put together such an episode well. When an average viewer saw this episode for the first time, the shock was guaranteed by it (believe me, it HITS HARD), in this way the creators achieved their goal, but it was enough later to think about what happened, and the shock was already replaced by completely legitimate indignation of the viewing public.
Regarding the mistakes, for the sake of fairness, I also have to say that I consider 4 things to be extremely outstanding from the first 2 seasons of the series:
1)
The visual implementation of the series was amazingly fantastic, as if you were watching a 45-minute movie, and it still stands today. I don't know if this changed after the third season, but I assume not, since the series is still active today
2)
Atli Örvarsson's music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ABsDFMJr2E&list=PLXT2pBWM8DxfN4znwe3esSqg4LtBzlQz8
3)
The actors Jesse Spencer, Taylor Kinney, Monica Raymund, Lauren German, Charlie Barnett, David Eigenberg, Eamonn Walker, Joe Minoso, Yuriy Sardarov, Christian Stolte were all fantastic in their roles
4)
The writers did something really brilliant when they built Severide and Shay's relationship. The way these two people moved mountains just out of love as a friend to help the other was simply wonderful. The relationship between the two of them was central to the show, which is why it was so painful and infuriating at the same time that the writers didn't think it was important enough to keep it going after 2 seasons. So I didn't consider the series important enough to continue watching after the third season either, or to start anything else from the One Chicago group.
Mistakes in S03 E01:
Devon's character:
- In the last 2 episodes of the second season, it was revealed that Devon might not be as a bad person as we thought. The writers hinted at the possibility that maybe Shay could finally find her happiness with her. Whether Devon had really changed, whether she was telling the truth, was never revealed after Shay's death.
Shay's death:
- Why didn't the paramedics wear helmets when they entered a potentially dangerous building? In other episodes, the characters paid attention to this, but here they generously forgot about it
- During the first flashback, we saw that they started to treat an injured person. When the explosion occurred and Shay was lying on the ground, the injured person was disappeared.
- The firefighter (played by Preston James Hillier) who ran into the building before the explosion also disappeared
- In the flashback, we saw that Dawson was thrown backwards by the shock wave of the explosion before the ceiling collapsed. Shay, on the other hand, sat still, unaffected by the shock wave
- The firefighting team was in the middle of the explosion, the only injury in comparison was a broken leg. Andy Darden died instantly in the Pilot episode, according to the script, when a house fire started in a similar way.
- Shay's CPR was interrupted to take her to the ambulance. At the same time, the one who could have taken care of her was Dawson, who was next to her, and Shay herself, maybe even Mills, who had a broken leg. So why was it important to take Shay to the ambulance, if not because it gave the scene a dramatic, albeit illogical, ending?
- Several people (e.g. Cruz, Otis) in the episode did not behave like those who recently lost a friend, and this could not be the fault of the actors, but rather of the script. The situation was similarly strange in the Pilot episode after Darden's death
- Shay said that she has a good relationship with her parents, so it's very strange that they didn't apply for Shay's things, but Casey and Severide collected them a month and a half after Shay's death. Not to mention the later invented sister
- When Severide looked at a photo of Shay before playing the video, it can be seen that the creators did not bother to take a real photo, but instead used a screenshot from the first season.
- It's quite unlikely that Dawson would pick up a diary a month and a half later that still had Shay's signature on it, and the signatures were completely different
Again, in the interest of fairness, Severide's flashbacks, Severide and Shay's video were flawless. Just like the gesture of putting Shay's name on the ambulance door in the middle of the season was a great idea from the writers
Final thoughts:
This is how far I've come in my research. Unfortunately, I didn't find any reassuring answers, only strange things. If there was something else in the background why Shay's character had to die, it will probably never be revealed. If the whole truth was told in the Matt Olmstead interview, then in my opinion the creators of Chicago Fire made the biggest mistake of their lives by firing Lauren and letting the Shayveride friendship vanish. Plus, Leslie Shay's character didn't deserve such fate. Anyway, the first 2 seasons were a fantastic experience for me.
Although Lauren couldn't have known it at the time, she was doing very well, because after being unemployed, she auditioned for the role of Chloe Decker in the series Lucifer. Here she joined the team that involved Tom Ellis, Kevin Alejandro, D.B. Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Rachael Harris, Scarlett Estevez, and later Aimee Garcia, Tricia Helfer, Tom Welling, Inbar Lavi, Rebecca De Mornay, Dennis Haysbert and Brianna Hildebrand. The rest, as they say, is history. Lucifer was the biggest series of 2021 by racking a whopping 18.3 billion minutes of streaming across the year making the series the most-streamed show not just on Netflix, but among the entire crop of streaming originals. Lucifer was voted the best fantasy series of 2021 also, and Lauren German became very, very worldwide-famous.
https://netflixlife.com/2022/01/26/lucifer-best-netflix-show-2021/
After Lucifer ended, Lauren retired from acting, making her last appearance in November 2023 at an event in Chicago, the Heaven and Hell Convention. Here, of course, she was hilarious again, or to put it stylistically, funny as hell, and she simply proved why she was the actress who played Leslie Shay back then

Others have written their opinions before me on the Leslie Shay topic, e.g. a great post

2024.05.08 04:43 Dooz_Can Pokemon Scrambled Scarlet by Dooz (IN HIGHLY ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT!)
https://preview.redd.it/wr32k3kv14zc1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=216ca5547f11dc67061f30b3b9aa78904518e1e9 https://imgur.com/a/brsPmiw Useless link so that reddit uses the right pic for the thumbnail Get ready for a lot of text.
I encourage you to just check out the YT/Doc links as well. Those are much more visual/audio oriented for people who prefer that over raw text. I'm sure some of you reading this are familiar with my work already on Gen 7 (Sweltering Sun) and I have been working immensely on a huge Gen 9 hack- Pokemon Scrambled Scarlet. (Should also work for Violet) Namesake is explained more in my videos/in my discord, but the TLDR is it's an egglocke based hack where you pre-load eggs in and those are your encounters. More info down below/on my YT. (Also, the name is referencing how things are "scrambled" around)
I also have tons of details in channels regarding how much this will differ from Sweltering Sun for the better. Still has the same core philosophy of reworking moves and every Pokemon:
My hacks aren't for everyone- but if you're open minded to super thorough/in depth changes/reworks for moves and Pokemon in as a whole- and a hack you can play over and over and over again for an experience you've never had before with tons of effort put into it- this is for you!
I also have people working on a GBA version of this for people who are fans but can't play due to hardware limitations on PC/Modded switch. If you're interested in helping them with that, join my discord!
I hate doing these types of posts because I put so much effort into explaining things on my Discord/YouTube Channel and hate having to condense it into a post for other forums: So I'm just going to plug and link all of those, and copy paste stuff from my YT descriptions. Even that information isn't perfectly phrased or formatted and there's more I wish I could say, but I have videos explaining things in depth too.
Figured it's better to post something than nothing, even if it's just a bunch of exposition and text explanations linking to actual videos/documentation where you can see things for yourself. I'll make a bit of a nicemore in depth post when the hack is actually out though.
If you want to reach me quickefaster, join my Discord community I'm extremely active on there and post live progress updates and you can get way more details on the project in there + you get to join the growing community.
Documentation Link:
(Incredibly thorough, many of your questions will likely be answered on there, very easy to navigate)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aSg996CVQ6RZwi9LPXVST73kV5lkznPd50rvDNqndqs/edit?usp=sharing Preview of mon changes documentation. Every mon has sections like this. (It's heavily zoomed out so I could fit both for 1 pic for this post, you can zoom in and each mon has a nice organized section) (Much easier to explain if you just take a look and read through it, context is in YT vid descriptions/linked here/in my discord/etc)
Youtube Channel Link:
https://www.youtube.com/@doozsromhacks I make (and am currently still releasing daily) in depth videos for every single Pokemon Change, a 2+ hour video on move changes-several videos explaining the basics of the hack, and much
more. https://preview.redd.it/ywvm86xc44zc1.png?width=1299&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c33aa6f687d41b5489b86c3ef0f3e7e8313412a Youtube Bio/Basic Info on this hack
I make Pokemon ROM Hacks with the objective of reimagining and rebalancing EVERY single Pokemon to be unique, fun to use, and most importantly: GREAT for the WHOLE GAME! NO box checks, NO bad encounters, can use ANY Pokemon you want- ALL WHILE STILL MAKING LOGICAL SENSE FOR THE MONS! Moves are massively reworked too! None of the buffs are balanced around competitive- the overwhelming majority would be absurd in that context. Pokemon won't outclass one another. Not your typical ROM hack with minor "buffs" and changes, or minimal thought put into balancing and Pokemon Changes- it's a huge passion project- so supporting me by subbing, liking, commenting and sharing my content/hack would be really appreciated if you do enjoy it. Literal thousands on thousands of hours have gone into my hacks, and I hope to deliver a unique, superior experience to that of mainstream ROM hacks you find nowadays.
Background Info on the hack:
Balancing Philosophy/Approach:
- Majority of moves reimagined and reworked to fit into categories and roles (see move sheet, its organized very thoroughly to be easy to understand) overall way better and stronger moves as a whole and is a HUGE part of how the game functions.
- Every single Pokemon has been reimagined, given careful love and care to ensure they are good for the WHOLE GAME, unique, fun to use, and that they do not overlap with one another- all while still making sense flavologic-wise.
- Balanced for ingame, not competitive play (2 completely different things, AI doesn't hard switch constantly or use actual intelligence, could go on for hours about why the 2 are not comparable and why having that mindset when consuming rom hacks is not very helpful, but I'll leave it at this)
- Balanced for Teamlocked nuzlockes specifically, not casual play
(you can play casually, but for more experienced players teamlocked would be good to try)
- Things may seem "broken" or "too strong" but the overall power level of my hack is very consistent, and all comes together in a very balanced way.
- Keep in mind these buffs were all designed with Teamlocked Nuzlockes and replaying multiple times in mind, where you keep a team of 6 and try to prevent them from dying as much as possible, and only add new team members if a current one dies.
- All Pokemon get special attention, love and care- and I mean a LOT of it.
- I try very, very hard to make all of the buffs/changes make LOGICAL sense and fit with the flavor of the Pokemon. This is subjective to some extent but I always have plenty of reasoning/rationale for changes and think about them a lot- probably too much.
- Overall power levels, BST benchmarks and more are higher with 480 being the "minimum" for fully evolved mons outside of a few exceptions- BST I have rules for but its still arbitrary in terms of how good a mon is or not. 600 bst guys are not inherently better than 480 BST. I put careful effort to ensure all the mons are good forever thanks to moves and ability synergies changing as the game progresses etc
- All Pokemon get 3 fitting, useful abilities that can be cycled between each other freely and intended to be swapped depending on the matchup (abils are chosen to be useful over one another, not redundant)
- Mons get tons of options as a whole and are all fun to use and good from beginning to end
- No "box checks" no "bad encounters" nothing "falls off" or "scales poorly"
- EVERY SINGLE POKEMON IS GOOD FROM THE SECOND YOU CAN GET THEM UNTIL THE VERY END OF THE GAME. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO USE WHAT POKEMON YOU LIKE, OR POKEMON YOU WOULDN'T NORMALLY USE- AND STRATEGIZE WITH THE TOOLS YOU GET.
Teamlocked Rules/Explanation
- 100% OPTIONAL. You can play with heals, on switch mode, and use whatever you want if you're casual.
- Basic HC nuz rules (no heal, set mode, mon fainting = death)
- However, you have a team of 6 from the start, NO swapping team members unless one dies
- Don't just blindly sack to add new team members (goes against the spirit of teamlocked)
- Every mon has so many tools that you won't ever need to do that
- *You're supposed to bond more with your Pokemon this way and care about them individually\*
- You probably WILL have deaths, and will likely use anywhere from 1, 2 or even 3 dozen Pokemon per run depending how knowledgeable/skilled you are, you can even have less
- You're encouraged to strategize and use all the tools you have available to their fullest extent
Designed for Replaying/Multiple Game Paths/QOL
- Game is designed to be replayed over and over with different teams, hence teamlocked
- *5 different versions of the game with different boss ordefights*
- Ease of travel with pre-loaded save file having fast-travel unlocked and bike upgrades (No need to traverse overworld if you don't want to, since TMs and items are in shops and reg trainers aren't changed, only the 125+ different custom boss fight teams are since I'm making 5 diff versions of the game)
- Ease of getting mons with eggs in PC
- Everything is super quick and easy to do (TM purchasing, items, EVs, candies, etc)
Eggs/Gameplay Info
- Egglocke style hack where encounters are on a pre-loaded save/you can load them yourself using PkHex, Eggs are included with the mod
- Wild encounter editing is absurdly tedious and nuzlocking would not work properly since the map is open world and Pokemon only spawn in the overworld (no random encounters)
- So to fix that issue, encounters are now eggs spaced out into tiers which unlock with beating bosses Difficulty - Mons get SO many tools and are much more versatile compared to normal hacks/games
- 3 customizable abilities at any time
- 200 TMs and tons of levelups with INFINITE move relearner
- Instant and easy EV training items to swap EVs at will quickly
- Majority of moves are changed so you have many tools on your team available at all times regardless of if you're "only" using 6 at a time (until/unless someone dies)
- Items unlock as you go and give even more flexibility
- Understand how the AI works, and go from there
- Pathing/prepping is key to minimize death
INTENDED (not required) Rules
(TOTALLY OPTIONAL IF YOU DON'T WANT TO THIS IS JUST HOW IT'S BALANCED!!!)
- Teamlocked (duh)
- No using healing items or anything (duh)
- Item Clause
- Tera types = RNG'd (way too OP otherwise)
- Nature = RNg'd
- IVs = Pre-set at max (for now)
If you actually read all of this, shoutout to you. You'll definitely like the hack if you did. Give everything a look! Appreciate it everyone!

2024.05.06 06:00 AutoModerator Weekly Advice Thread 06/05/2024
Welcome to the WAT, summoner! Post questions regarding team composition, content progression, game mechanics, or anything else in this thread. If you are able to help your fellow summoners, please take some time to contribute to the community and answer some questions yourself as well!
A lot of helpful guides and resources can be found in the
subreddit mega wiki.
If you ask a question please give ALL relevant information!
- Your monster box: Upload a screenshot to Reddit directly or an image hosting site like imgur or use swarfarm. Sort your box by "Grade" and try to include all 4*s and LD nat 3*s.
- Your current progression: Where you currently are in the game, what your teams are, what content you need help with and what you have tried so far.
- For ToA, which enemies are on the floor you're stuck on.
- For PvP, indicate what rank you are trying to achieve, i.e. currently F3 want to get C1 Arena. For RTA also share your rank percentage.
The less people have to ask you to clarify or look up to help you, the more likely you will get a (fast) response.
Beginner friendly/farmable PvE teams
Note: Recommended progression path is currently being update for the Reloaded Update. But you should still follow the general path of beating Giant's, then ToA, then the rest.
- GB10: Vero (L), Fran, Loren, (2A) Kro, Shannon/Lapis
- GB12: Vero (L), Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, Shannon/Lapis/AkhamamiSigmarus
- DB10: Verde (L), Vero, Fran, Loren, Spectra (2A)
- DB12: Verde (L), Vero, Fran, Loren, Spectra (2A)
- PB10: Verde (L), Colleen/Fran, 2A Raoq, 2A Kro, 2A Spectra/Yen/Pang. You can also use 2A Jultan to tank the boss (on multiple Will sets).
- SB10: Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, 2A Raoq, Ling Ling
- NB10: Lapis (L), Colleen/Fran, Loren, 2A Raoq, 2A Kro/Raoq (NB10 guide). Twins are a much better choice and should be used if possible. You can also directly use Tricaru.
- SRB10: Verde (L), Shaina, Sieq, Astar, 2A Raoq
- ToA(H): Fran (L), Lapis, Verde, Loren, Vero/2A Kro/2A Spectra. Use Tyron if you have him. 2A Sath/Thrain are good options if you want to go for a dot team, do not use Baretta as he's terribly outdated.
- R5: Front Line: Xiong Fei, Darion Back Line: Colleen, 2A Kro, Tesa, Theo/Xiao Lin/Belladeon
- R5 solo teams: Check this thread
- R5 stat minimum: You need 25k HP and 1.5k DEF for FL units and 20k HP and 0.8-1k DEF for BL units. Healers and your cleanser should have 100% RES after lead.
- Rift unit options: Xiao Lin, Theomars, Fran, Colleen, and 2A Kro can be used in most of your rift teams. FL Mav/Bernard is good for Water rift and Lapis is good for Fire and Dark rifts. Twins are great in all rifts.
You still need appropriate rune quality and turn order! Do not expect to beat a dungeon just by having these units.
Common speed teams
- R5 - BJ5: Colleen, Baleygr, Janssen, Dagora, Loren, lead unit (BJ5 guide)
- R5 solo teams: Check this thread
- DB12: Verde (L), Vero, Loren, 2A Spectra, 2A Kro/Lyn/2A Shamann/...
- GB12: Akhamamir (L), Galleon, Lyn, Vero, 2A Kro/2A Roid/Riley/Shannon/...
- NB10 - Tricaru: Either add Astar or replace Verde with her (on vamp, same stats). Adding Astar and Lushen to clear waves first also works.
- PB10 - Tricaru: Kill towers first (usually L>R>B but some people reported R>L>B working better for them).
- SB10 - dots dots dots: 2A Sath, Mellia, Mellia, 2A Tatu, dot unit/Lushen
- SRB10: Verde (L), Shaina, Sieq, Astar, 2A Raoq
- DB10 - Tricaru: Verde (L), 2A Icaru, 2A Icaru, 2A Icaru (guide (Note: DEF requirement is 3300)) (Cheatsheet) (Calculator)
- GB10 - dots dots dots: 2A Sath, Mellia, Mellia, 2A Tatu, dot unit/Lushen (guide)
PvE accuracy requirements
Accuracy | Area(s) |
0% | Rifts |
15% | R5, Predator |
25% | SB10, PB10 |
35% | GB12, NB12, SRB10, Dimensional Hole |
45% | ToA(H) |
55% | GB10, NB10, ToA Hell |
65% | DB12, DB10 |
General tips and answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
- NEVER feed non-farmable monsters! (you can feed dupes for skill ups)
- Save your devilmons! In general you do not want to give devilmon to 4* units, Sigmarus and Jeanne are the best early game candidates. Veromos does not need devilmon.
- Best summon stone targets: Tyron, Lushen, Shaina, Sabrina, Talia. For PvP Khmun, Skogul, Galleon.
- Check the events for free energy, mana, and other beneficial stuff. To find the current event pages use the button below the energy/mana counter in-game.
- Lapis can farm Faimon Hell on the free 6* level 15 vampire/revenge runes provided by the challenges. She should be your first 5* and probably 6* as well.
- Shield sets can reduce the HP/DEF requirements on other units and multiple shield sets will stack to form one larger total shield. Each set contributes a shield equal to 15% of the base HP of the monster they are equipped on.
- White artifacts from B2 are cheap to upgrade and can give you a massive stat boost early.
- Hall of Heroes (HoH) should be attempted as high as you can climb. Reps like Rica or Verad can help a lot. Mid/late game players can get 5 extra copies of the HoH monster using almighty scroll pieces after each floor at the small cost of 2000 guild points for each extra monster.
- Most nat 5*s are PvP exclusive and should be set aside in storage till you make some progress on PvE. Some exceptions are CC units like Rica for ToA, cleansers like Anavel for starter R5, and Perna for rifts.
- Dimensional hole energy should be spent as soon as possible, always try to stay under the energy cap (recharge rate: 1 per 2h). 2A Kro first, then Spectra or Raoq.

2024.05.03 00:24 lAmMediocre [MILD SPOILERS] First proper run down the drain, and a whole lotta fun had!
After a run lasting roughly 32 days, my character has finally succumbed to the cataclysm. How you may ask? None other then the trials and tribulations faced on a first proper lab raid. I was on a long voyage to the refuge center, almost 5 cities away, so I loaded up a Police van with goodies that I had been stockpiling in my evac shelter, and set off.
Very, very quickly, my police van had struggled to keep up with the onslaught of undead, so I needed to swap out cars, fast. I drove past the first city, major damages taken to the vehicle, and had stopped at the first POI i saw, a Golf Course! There was a vehicle that would accompany the next part of my journey, the most important part. I swapped my battery with this, this time, only taking loot that would actually be useful, giving me much more room for stuff, and set off in my brand new Sedan!
And then I immediately crashed it denting the hood...
But that's fine! It happens!
I continued my journey and stumbled across a FEMA camp, and after a quick inspection, decided i WANTED what they had. I drove to a nearby evac shelter, stopped the car, and set out on foot with a makeshift knife spear I had quickly cobbled together.
Once I arrived, it was as simple as using the fence to my advantage, as all I needed to do was stab the occasional Zed that stumbled towards me through the fence. I did have occasional outside troubles, arising from a nearby anthill, but nothing I couldn't handle. Then I bit off a bit more then i can chew, as i somehow managed to attract every single Zed inside that camp. I quickly retreated back to the evac shelter, and climbed up a downspout seeing as i was being pursued quite...effectively. I stood up there, on the gutter for some time watching more and more pile up on the edge of the building, and decided it was time for some action. With my spear, I stabbed down from the roof, into the skulls of the Soldier Zombies clambering for a piece of my flesh. A few close calls with Caustic ones later nearly costing my life, and i was free from the dead, over 50 laid dead around the evac shelter after a whole night of resting, fighting, and repeating.
The spoils were immense. At this stage, my armor had consisted of nothing other then some riot gear I had taken from the undead some time ago when I was still based at my starting evac shelter. But here? Here was when i took up some proper gear.
A Heavy Ballistic Vest with its associated attachment points connected, extending its protection to my limbs. Brand new ballistic plates added to bolster my defense, a MOLLE webbing belt for extra storage, a Helmet, and some gloves, and my very first proper firearm, a MK18 CQBR Rifle along with some extra magazines for my newly acquired magazine pouch, and a fair amount of ammo looted from the rest of the bodies.
The FEMA camp itself had some spoils as well, most notably a M240 Machine Gun with a unreasonably high amount of ammo just sitting there. I loaded up my Sedan, and set off once again.
Deciding to not wreck my sedan through a city horde again, i decided to take a longer route around through some rural roads where I found a pickup truck! I swapped batteries yet again, and made way with my new vehicle, bolstering significantly better storage capacity.
I made a quick pitstop at an airport, refueled, took off and found something that i had only ever heard murmured about from time to time. A lab. Curiosity sunk its fangs into me, and i pulled my truck beside the accursed building. I entered through the front and found out quickly I'd need an ID to access it, but luckily for me, i had passed a coupe shaped ID along the road just moments ago!
With a careful...swiping of my ID card, I opened the "hidden" door on the back of the building and stood on the elevator, in a mix of excitement and fear. I entered, Rifle on a sling, spare knife in my vest, and a tonfa in my hand.
I was immediately greeted by a scientist...not living of course, and quickly dispatched them. I proceeded through the building, finding nothing out of the ordinary until I saw another locked door, with reinforced glass on either side. I couldn't make out much of the interior, but I saw some....creatures. Krecks were clawing at the glass, and in the back flew a strange mass of flesh...a Flying Polyp. The glass protected me so i decided i would explore the rest of the building and return to this strange room later.
I took some time clearing out the rest of the rooms, finding some small dormitories and various cabinets filled to the brim with various chemicals, as well as strange samples of genetic material from various creatures. I decided to return back to the hall with the beasts, thinking they'd still be locked behind the door, however i was sorely mistaken.
I'm unsure how it got there, but upon returning to that hall, I found it clouded in a thick, hazy gas. My curiosity getting the better of me, i decided to don my gas mask, and wade through the fog only to be pushed to the ground by a foul beast, a Nuckalavee. Panicked, and in a daze, i quickly dropped my tonfa, opting to wield my rifle in which, with a quick flip of a switch, set the thing to full auto as I let the ballistics echo through the halls. Half a mag down, and the beast was slain, dissipating back into the hell where it came, but not without leaving me terribly wounded. I staggered into a nearby storage room, threw my gun to the floor and quickly dealt with my bleeding wounds. After tending to them, and popping a good amount of tramadol, I spent the next 6 hours waiting, hearing the noises outside go from the gasps of the undead, to a strange tittering of metal clanking on the ground. I quickly decided I had waited enough. I had no more rations or water in my vest, and dehydration was starting to set in.
I grabbed my gun from the floor, reloaded and exited into the hall where i had learned that the area where the Krecks were hadn't even been destroyed. The centaur came from elsewhere it seemed. I passed by one of the windows, where a gaze pierced my mental. A quick look yielded the answer of what had done so. I ran down the hall, past the window, not wanting to bear witness to the creature where I had found out that the Polyp from before had found a way out, and was now floating in the hall. In desperation, I raised my rifle, and unloaded a solid 15 rounds into the beast until it had too returned to the void. I stumbled through the hallway, and finally made it back to the elevator, where i had chosen to rest for the night, and try again in the morning.
Wounds healed, armor checked, and guns reloaded, I headed down into the laboratory one more time. I spent some time getting off the elevator, gun in hand, as i slowly pied a corner, only to suddenly be grabbed from the darkness as a myriad of tentacles bit at my flesh, gnawing deep only to feast upon my blood. The gun fell to the floor, and I struggled to retrieve my knife from my vest, only for that too to fall. Hypovolemic shock was setting in as I tried to grab my rifle again, to no avail. I escaped from the grasp for a mere moment, stumbling into a table where I had soon after collapsed, my face pale as my heart stopped beating.
832 creatures had fell to my hands, but my own life was added to that list as well as I was truly, and utterly, unprepared.
TL;DR: Had a good run, found a lab, thought i could raid it, i could not. Star Vampires are scary. Had lots of fun :)

2024.05.02 21:29 funnystoryaboutthat2 PTMO
Hi all, I'm and Army Reserve Captain thinking about applying to PTMO, DCSS, and OCS. I have three years of active service with the Army as a field artillery officer. I left the Army because my dad was dying of cancer and my wife (also Army) was SA'd. So that sucked. The personal situation is much better and my family is fully supportive.
I understand that I'll probably take a reduction in rank to O-2. I'm currently a professional firefighter. I have a BA, MS, a bunch of FEMA certs, and very good officer evaluations.
I know that 9 times out of 10, most things can be answered with "needs of the service." That said, can anyone give me a down and dirty about PTMO and life as a junior officer in the USCG? The recruiter said that I'd likely start out at a ship and do at least a year doing that and patrol. I've also been told they like sticking former Army Officers from PTMO in logistics roles which I'm not super thrilled about.
I'm pretty interested in the Response Ashore career field but Afloat is also very interesting to me. Unfortunately I'm too old for Aviation. Thanks in advance!

2024.05.01 09:39 FatalisticFeline-47 How the All-Rock Showcases Work
| TLDR They’re all scored like they are Nosepass This produces the following ranges : Graph of the top 25 Rock-type Pokémon, with their associated potential range of scores. Scores only XXL can reach with their bonus are on the rightmost thin line, above-average scores are in the colored middle, and the left edge of the colored bar is the score of an Average specimen for that species. This is an Onix showcase. You can use my Calculator for scoring these All-Rock showcases now. The evolution tool won’t be of much use this time, but it’s still there! Unreleased Pokémon Both Stakataka and Stonjourner are very heavy, and could offer competition in lower-density formats. Staka in particular is a strong current 2nd place and potentially first in the future. Unfortunately this showcase is happening less than a month before its release… What Could’ve Been Welcome back to my mathematical ramblings about how different baselines affect showcase scores, now with more greek letters. Feel free to skip the math and just look at the graphic, but if there’s any questions you have about scoring let me know! Our Compass-nosed friend is on the denser side of things ( λ=653), cementing Onix in its untouchable throne of rocks. Onix is nearly twice as tall as the next rock (8.8m vs Stakataka’s 5.5m). But Staka has almost 4x the weight, so is that enough to make it score better in some situations? What about close situations, like Aggron or Tyrantrum? An animated graphic of the Rock showcase scores over the whole range of potential Densities. Notice the new variable being used 👀 The answer is Yes! With an un-dense enough baseline, Staka will score higher than Onix. No!, for any other released species. You may notice Onix very low in the rankings for tiny densities, but it’s important to note that these are Theoretical. We’re bounded in reality by the least dense rock: Corsola ( λ=55) still has Onix in the #1 released spot. Despite the corsola scaling being very weight-heavy, that doesn’t mean it’s 100% weight. Onix still has so much excess height over its peers that it makes up for being slightly lighter. Can we quantify this gap? And wait, what’s this λ? If we do a little bit of rearranging of the points formula, we find the relative contributions of height = weight when ρ*6.66*Height = Weight. You can interpret this as “with a pokemon of density ρ, the points gained from 1 meter of height are equivalent to the points gained from 6.66* ρ kg of weight”. (The exact coefficient depends on the XXL potential of the species in question). So I’d like to propose a new variable (hopefully the last one): λ, the Adjusted Density, which is the number satisfying “1m = λkg” for each pokemon. It embodies the same concept of ρ, but properly adjusts for the XXL modifier and scoring quirks, and has a clear and applicable meaning. Now I can say that these densities range from Haunter (0.4 kg/m) to Mudsdale (2596 kg/m) [with Cosmoem being an exception at 70,000]. We can now approach this question equipped with λ. Let’s compare Onix to Aggron. The average Onix is 8.8m & 210kg, and Aggron 2.11m & 360kg. In order for the typical Aggron to beat an Onix, the density has to allow 150kg to beat 6.65m, which means λ≤22.6. But this is way less dense than any rock, so Onix will always be better. But if we instead look at Stakataka (5.5m & 820kg), the threshold becomes easier: 3.3m vs 610kg means we only need λ≤185 for Staka to perform better. For comparing the largest XLs, the threshold will be 1.83x higher (due to how weight vs height scale). So a decent baseline to have both Onix and Staka ranking the same would be around λ=350, eg Kleavor. Instead, we got Nosepass ( λ=653) and these one-sided Onix contests. Previous Analyses [Fairy] [Dragon] [All] [Electric] [Grass] [Psychic] [Bug] [Ground] Reminders: - An eligible mega can be entered, but won’t score any better than before their mega evolution.
- Scores will differ from single-species and other typed showcases, due to using a different baseline scaling. Relative rankings may also vary between multi-species showcases.
- In the charts shown above, some species will have no rightmost thin line. This means the XL variant of the species has a higher potential score than XXL. See here for my explanation.
- ρ = Pokemon Density = Average Weight / Height, for a given species.
- λ = Adjusted Density = The kg of Weight needed to score as much as 1 m of Height, for a given species.

2024.04.29 20:17 maki2306 The feeling of being looked down upon by an IITian
nobody talks about how some (not all) IITians can be so mean and hurtful (the boys mostly, again, not all, some rare cases)
they hold little to no regard for others passions and pursuits. even though we've studied the same HC Verma, the same Cengage, the same Irodov they think of you lesser than. they always remind you of where they study at, where you study at, and why you cannot let down you gaurd in front of them
im a BSc student at BHU, and a few meters away from my college stands the godly IIT BHU
now IIT BHU was not always IIT BHU. it only became so in 2012. but something else happend in 2012. a divide. Institue of Technology BHU got an extra "I" in its name, got an extra wall between the rest of BHU and itself
and so did the people
not everybody wants to do btech. not everybody wants the IIT tag. they simply cannot comprehend it
a guy asked me out recently. i did not know he was the next google CEO and was studying at IIT
i declined. because i have a boyfriend.
and it probably did something to his ego. because upon rejection he gave me his college name. i said i don't really care, my answer still does not budge. he then asks me
"so you have a guy ? what does he do ?"
" BSc statistics "
"where does you boyfriend study at ?"
"DU "
he bursts out laughing. he laughs and something in my shatters. my self esteem probably.
"so a BSc grad who's not going to get a job and a BSc grad who is not going to get a job. you guys suit eachother"
and he walks away
he walks away with his laptop, his expensive looking shoes and airpods.
he walks into the IIT BHU gate, leaving me wondering if my worth would have been higher for i had given JEE
would the world not laugh at me, if i did not choose a course i love and chose a course the world loves
it was not easy making it into BHU. i gave up LSR to be here beacuse i cannot afford delhi.
but will someone from an IIT uderstand ? because DU is nothing to him
because i am nothing
i am not an IITian, thus i am nothing
edit - a lot of people asked me why i did not prepare for JEE, it was bcs i liked biology. i had pcmb in 12th and so my parents gave me only two options, NEET or JEE. i somehow convinced them ill prepare for NEET along with BSc (i won't, i like bio but not the field of medicine) and rn ive been preparing for CAT (who knows, i might end up in an IIT for an MBA xD)
and about BHU cut offs for CUET, it depends on your category and the faculty you apply for. but you cannot go below 97 percentile for popular courses. and for humanities they only count 50 percent of your section I language test marks, and 100 percent of your section III general test marks

2024.04.29 06:00 AutoModerator Weekly Advice Thread 29/04/2024
Welcome to the WAT, summoner! Post questions regarding team composition, content progression, game mechanics, or anything else in this thread. If you are able to help your fellow summoners, please take some time to contribute to the community and answer some questions yourself as well!
A lot of helpful guides and resources can be found in the
subreddit mega wiki.
If you ask a question please give ALL relevant information!
- Your monster box: Upload a screenshot to Reddit directly or an image hosting site like imgur or use swarfarm. Sort your box by "Grade" and try to include all 4*s and LD nat 3*s.
- Your current progression: Where you currently are in the game, what your teams are, what content you need help with and what you have tried so far.
- For ToA, which enemies are on the floor you're stuck on.
- For PvP, indicate what rank you are trying to achieve, i.e. currently F3 want to get C1 Arena. For RTA also share your rank percentage.
The less people have to ask you to clarify or look up to help you, the more likely you will get a (fast) response.
Beginner friendly/farmable PvE teams
Note: Recommended progression path is currently being update for the Reloaded Update. But you should still follow the general path of beating Giant's, then ToA, then the rest.
- GB10: Vero (L), Fran, Loren, (2A) Kro, Shannon/Lapis
- GB12: Vero (L), Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, Shannon/Lapis/AkhamamiSigmarus
- DB10: Verde (L), Vero, Fran, Loren, Spectra (2A)
- DB12: Verde (L), Vero, Fran, Loren, Spectra (2A)
- PB10: Verde (L), Colleen/Fran, 2A Raoq, 2A Kro, 2A Spectra/Yen/Pang. You can also use 2A Jultan to tank the boss (on multiple Will sets).
- SB10: Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, 2A Raoq, Ling Ling
- NB10: Lapis (L), Colleen/Fran, Loren, 2A Raoq, 2A Kro/Raoq (NB10 guide). Twins are a much better choice and should be used if possible. You can also directly use Tricaru.
- SRB10: Verde (L), Shaina, Sieq, Astar, 2A Raoq
- ToA(H): Fran (L), Lapis, Verde, Loren, Vero/2A Kro/2A Spectra. Use Tyron if you have him. 2A Sath/Thrain are good options if you want to go for a dot team, do not use Baretta as he's terribly outdated.
- R5: Front Line: Xiong Fei, Darion Back Line: Colleen, 2A Kro, Tesa, Theo/Xiao Lin/Belladeon
- R5 solo teams: Check this thread
- R5 stat minimum: You need 25k HP and 1.5k DEF for FL units and 20k HP and 0.8-1k DEF for BL units. Healers and your cleanser should have 100% RES after lead.
- Rift unit options: Xiao Lin, Theomars, Fran, Colleen, and 2A Kro can be used in most of your rift teams. FL Mav/Bernard is good for Water rift and Lapis is good for Fire and Dark rifts. Twins are great in all rifts.
You still need appropriate rune quality and turn order! Do not expect to beat a dungeon just by having these units.
Common speed teams
- R5 - BJ5: Colleen, Baleygr, Janssen, Dagora, Loren, lead unit (BJ5 guide)

- NB10 - Tricaru: Either add Astar or replace Verde with her (on vamp, same stats). Adding Astar and Lushen to clear waves first also works.
- PB10 - Tricaru: Kill towers first (usually L>R>B but some people reported R>L>B working better for them).

General tips and answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
- NEVER feed non-farmable monsters! (you can feed dupes for skill ups)
- Save your devilmons! In general you do not want to give devilmon to 4* units, Sigmarus and Jeanne are the best early game candidates. Veromos does not need devilmon.
- Best summon stone targets: Tyron, Lushen, Shaina, Sabrina, Talia. For PvP Khmun, Skogul, Galleon.
- Check the events for free energy, mana, and other beneficial stuff. To find the current event pages use the button below the energy/mana counter in-game.
- Lapis can farm Faimon Hell on the free 6* level 15 vampire/revenge runes provided by the challenges. She should be your first 5* and probably 6* as well.
- Shield sets can reduce the HP/DEF requirements on other units and multiple shield sets will stack to form one larger total shield. Each set contributes a shield equal to 15% of the base HP of the monster they are equipped on.
- White artifacts from B2 are cheap to upgrade and can give you a massive stat boost early.
- Hall of Heroes (HoH) should be attempted as high as you can climb. Reps like Rica or Verad can help a lot. Mid/late game players can get 5 extra copies of the HoH monster using almighty scroll pieces after each floor at the small cost of 2000 guild points for each extra monster.
- Most nat 5*s are PvP exclusive and should be set aside in storage till you make some progress on PvE. Some exceptions are CC units like Rica for ToA, cleansers like Anavel for starter R5, and Perna for rifts.
- Dimensional hole energy should be spent as soon as possible, always try to stay under the energy cap (recharge rate: 1 per 2h). 2A Kro first, then Spectra or Raoq.

2024.04.27 04:16 krb501 Is a Twister Pod safe or no?
I live in a mobile home in an area that sometimes gets tornado warnings, and I developed a very strong phobia of severe weather, so I finally gave in and called a storm shelter dealer and requested they install a storm shelter. At first, I wanted to install a below ground shelter, but I was informed by the county and the contractor that the ground in the area was too hard to dig more than a few feet, so I opted for an above ground shelter.
My curiosity's gotten the best of me, though, and I wondered if it could really withstand an EF5 tornado, so I started doing some research. A lot of people seem to think I got scammed, and now I'm questioning if it's even safe at all.
It's certainly not enough to alleviate my storm anxiety, and it kind of feels like a tin can; it's echoey and I've used it during severe storm warnings, and I can hear everything going on outside--the hail pounding the carport and the winds blowing things around. Honestly, I'm terrified. I keep imagining what would happen if I got unlucky and got hit directly by an EF4 or even 5. I'm not even sure the thing could survive getting a car rammed into it, let alone actually protect me from all of the craziness that happens in a strong tornado.
Still, though, it claims to be tested by the Texas Wind Institute and has a FEMA compliancy sticker (but it's only valid if installed properly and inspected.) I'm still freaked out, though, and really, I'd like to figure out how to put in an underground shelter. I know it would be difficult because of the hard ground, but storm season always gives me a lot of anxiety. I'm afraid I might hurt myself while fleeing some imaginary threat or not take a real threat seriously.
Does anyone have any advice or reassurance? What would you do if you were in my situation?
Edit: I just remembered something worrying. I'm not a builder, and when the contractor asked me how much rebar to put in, I answered none, because I assumed he was talking about anchoring, and this shelter doesn't work like that--the anchor bolts are put in after the concrete slab is laid. I really should have done my research, because rebar is what gives concrete its strength! I asked him to talk to the storm shelter company when he asked me questions I didn't know the answers to, but he always defaulted to me, for some reason, and I think I probably gave him very wrong instructions. This is why I should have had an engineer to supervise the work. I have so many uncertainties about that storm shelter floating around in my head right now that I'm feeling sick.

2024.04.26 04:52 Cow-puncher77 Rookie
So got a new neighbor a few years ago. Old man died, they broke up the place, he bought part of it and built a grass airstrip. Seems nice enough. Airline pilot. Has his little stunt plane he likes to fly around in. Has cleaned up the place and built a nice hangar and huuuuge front gate.
Now, his flying is pretty annoying. Open pipes on a 9 cylinder radial engine, what could be annoying, right? Add the constant verticals, dives, hammerheads, and barrel rolls, all at about 1000 to 2500 feet over your head.
Yea, anyway. One day, he’s pulling his stunts, up and down, all around, and suddenly he cuts his motor. Then there’s a loud “THWUMP.” I normally keep him tuned out, but that last part really gave me pause… so I stepped out and around the shop to look North. There’s a big plume of black smoke rising in the North pasture. Damn. Now, why the hell he had to crash on me, I can’t answer. He’s got near a thousand acres of his own. But there he was. So here I go.
Interesting 911 call. They were very interested to hear a plane had crashed. Dispatched me to the wrong county because of the tower location. Got transferred, gave a bunch of details, but then the VFD Chief called me. He’s really who I wanted anyway. Excused myself from the phone call as I switched over, much to the protest of the 911 operator, who was rather insistent I couldn’t hang up on her. Having proved her wrong, I got the chief lined out where I’d meet him, and got two brush rigs in to put out the fire.
The neighbor was filming a training video and had a helicopter with him, who landed and grabbed him, taking him to a nearby hospital. Then the dispatcher called me back. Kinda rude, honestly. Told me I couldn’t hang up on her, but when I tried to apologize, she had to keep catching an attitude. So I hung up on her, again. She called back. Told me I couldn’t hang up on her. I asked her if she wanted to bet money on that. Told her I appreciated her help, but I was busy with deputies and troopers on scene. Like moths to a flame, well, a burning plane, the deputies did come.
Among the 3 state troopers, the 4 local police officers from 2 local municipalities, FEMA officer, 2 fire marshals, and a Texas Ranger, there were 3 county deputies who showed up, too. Among those deputies was a rookie. Fresh meat. A tenderfoot. He was having fun filling out all the paperwork. But his allergies were giving him fits. The thigh high ragweed in bloom wasn’t helping, I’m sure. Me being the good guy I am, I offered him a sly smile and some advice.
“You want a home remedy for that sneezing and sniffling?”
“Uh. Yea, sure.”
“Here, take some of this,” as I grabbed a handful of the ragweed bloom, “and rub it good between your palms, and rub it under you nose and eyes.”
I almost had him sold. He was reaching for it, but the choking chortle from his Lt behind him made him suspicious. He glanced at me, I could hold my poker face, but neither of the others could. He knew I almost had him. So we all laughed.
“Sorry, Rookie, but as you know, it goes around. I had to try. It’ll be your turn in a few years.”
“Aww, man, you almost had me. What is that stuff?”
“That would be ragweed, and prolly what’s giving you fits to begin with. I did intend on giving you a Benadryl shortly after.” and I pulled the bottle out of my truck door. “I’ll still offer it to you.”
“Aw, That’s just wrong, man. But I’d still appreciate that.” as he reached for the bottle in my hand.
There was a while after where I was hoping he didn’t pull me over somewhere. Joke mighta been on me, then. Still worth it.

2024.04.22 19:01 AjaxMontaine22 Predictive Mock Draft Based on GM/Mock Trends
Happy draft week fellow addicts,
Like most of you, I spend a stupid amount of time trying to construct the perfect mock draft that prioritizes team needs, drafts the best players, and makes the fan bases happy. Also like most of you, when draft day comes I throw that perfectly constructed mock draft in the trash, because it is ruined after pick five. So, I decided to take a March Madness approach to mock draft creation by looking at team trends, historical mock draft trends, and playing the numbers game to try and get the perfect mock draft. I’m sure these picks will make 50% of people happy, and 50% of people really unhappy. If nothing else, take this as an exercise on the incoming team disappointment most of us will feel.
Here are the factors considered when constructing this mock draft:
- Historical trends of active GMs. Looking at what types of players they pick, what types of positions they pick, and making note of any other tendencies they have.
- Historical mock draft results from the NFL Mock Draft Database. In looking at the consensus draft (one week out) and the final consensus big board, there were a couple trends over the last five years that I will be using as a guide:
- On average, these are the correct selections for the consensus mock draft one week out:
- Picks 1-10:
- 4.0 consensus picks are correct.
- 1.8 picks have the position right, but have the wrong player.
- The first two picks have been correct 4 of the last 5 years.
- Picks 11-20:
- 1.6 consensus picks are correct.
- 1.6 picks have the position right, but have the wrong player.
- Picks 21-32:
- 0.8 consensus picks are correct.
- 1.4 picks have the position right, but have the wrong player:
- On average, there are 5.6 players in the consensus top 32 that are not drafted in RD 1.
- 1.4 players in the 11-20 range.
- 4.2 players in the 21-32 range.
- The most common positions to fall: CB (5x), QB (3x), DE (3x).
- On average, there are 3.8 players outside the consensus top 40 that are drafted in RD 1.
- 0.6 players in the 11-20 range.
- 3.2 players in the 21-32 range.
- The most common positions: OT (5x), DE (3x), CB (3x), LB (3x)
- The most common team: Green Bay (3 times in the last 5 years).
Combining all of this information, I’ll have some specific metrics to reach in each segment of picks to try and best play the numbers game. I’ve also included the first picks for Carolina, Houston, and Cleveland, because they deserve some love too.
Picks 1-10 Metrics - Consensus Picks: 4
- Right Position Picks: 2
1.01 Chicago Bears (via CAR) - Caleb Williams, QB, USC
- Consensus pick (1/4). This pick has been consensus for a while, and for good reason. Caleb is regarded as the best QB in this class and has the highest ceiling. Chicago has moved on from Fields, and they replace him with arguably the draft’s best player.
1.02 Washington Commanders - Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
- Consensus pick (2/4). I don’t like this pick, as I think Maye is the better choice, but using the above mentioned stats, this pick is almost always correct. Washington needs a QB and they get the dual threat of Daniels.
1.03 New England Patriots - Drake Maye, QB, UNC
- Consensus pick (3/4). NE starts the rebuild with the high ceiling QB in Maye. I think year one will be rough with a lackluster cast around him, and personally I would prefer MJ Jr., here (with Nix/Penix as their next pick) but Zappe as the Week 1 starter forces their hand.
1.04 Arizona Cardinals - Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
- Consensus pick (4/4). Arizona gets a true number one receiver in Harrison. Arguably the draft’s best player, and fills a position of need. I know some mocks have Arizona trading this pick, but I don’t think a team does that to lose out on a player like this. At least, I doubt it.
1.05
Trade! Minnesota Vikings - J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan
- Trade Details: Minnesota gets 1.05 (1700 pts.). LAC gets 1.11, 1.23. (2100 pts.)
- Minnesota pays the QB premium (points wise) to move up.
- This allows LAC to fill additional holes in their roster, and construct the team that Harbaugh/Horitz want.
- Consensus: Malik Nabers (by the Chargers).
- This trade up is near consensus at this point, so it feels like a cheat, but it does seem the most likely outcome based on the chatter we all are hearing about McCarthy and Minnesota. I personally don’t love giving up that capital to get JJ, but Minnesota needs a QB and McCarthy is the highest one on the consensus board.
1.06 New York Giants - Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
- Consensus: Rome Odunze
- Right position (1/1.8). I personally think Odunze is a better fit here with the news that Nabers may have personality issues, but as we have already hit 4 picks being correct in the top 10, Nabers gets the nod here. This gives the Giants a potential alpha WR, which is not something they have had in the Daniel Jones era. This should give them a good understanding if Jones is the future of the franchise, while also taking a very good prospect.
1.07 Tennessee Titans - Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State
- Consensus: Joe Alt
- Right position (2/1.8). The Titans need an OT to improve their line, and with our consensus picks being reached, I went to the next highest tackle on the consensus board (and is also a LT) in Fashanu. I truly think Odunze is not out of the question here based on comments made at the combine (Callahan - If equal, they value the TD scorer over the offensive lineman. Carthon - offensive goal is to get faster), but that was before the Ridley signing, so I think they stick to OT here.
1.08 Atlanta Falcons - Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
- Consensus: Dallas Turner
- With both the correct pick and position gone, we have to pivot for Atlanta. I think CB and WR are at the top of their needs list, but with Odunze here, I think they take him for two reasons:
- 1) In Fotenot’s three drafts with Atlanta, they have only selected offensive skills positions in RD 1. This could swing either way (repeatable pattern vs. laid the foundation so unlikely to repeat), but going defense here would set a new precedent, which overall is something I am avoiding in this draft.
- 2) Odunze is a better overall prospect than the next available CB, and WR is still a position of need.
- Side note: It seems weird that Odunze is a “no brainer” pick for a Chicago team that has DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Cole Kmet, but is not even in the conversation for an Atlanta team that has Drake London, Darnell Mooney, and Kyle Pitts. The Falcons arguably have the worse WR room out of the two, and yet Odunze falls past them in most mocks.
1.09 Chicago Bears - Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
- Consensus: Jared Verse
- Again, with the correct pick and position off the board, Chicago has to pivot away from DE. The next two players up would be Alt and Bowers, and while I think their OT situation is okay, Bears fans seem to agree that Alt would be an upgrade that they would want. We’ve seen Poles take a tackle early, and I’ll lean that way over a second TE to run with Kmet.
1.10 New York Jets - Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State
- Consensus: Brock Bowers
- With the WR options gone, I think the Jets go OL or Bowers. With our limit being reached on consensus picks in the top 10, we default to OL. I saw a lot of chatter during the senior bowl that Joe Douglas has been favoring Fuaga for a while, so he is the pick here. This pick also gives them flexibility to move Fuaga to the interior when their tackles are healthy, and then when one of them (inevitably) goes down, they can kick Fuaga out.
Picks 11-20 Metrics - Consensus Picks: 1.6
- Right Position Picks: 1.6
- Player Outside Top 40 Selected: 0.6
1.11 Los Angeles Chargers - Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
- Consensus: J.J. McCarthy (by the Vikings).
- It’s hard, looking at the roster, to not assume that the Chargers have to prioritize a receiving option early. Bowers is the best receiving option available, and he is the pick here.
1.12 Denver Broncos - Jared Verse, DE, Florida State
- Consensus pick: Bo Nix.
- I understand the main argument for Nix or Penix here with Stidham as QB 1 on the roster. While I don’t think it is impossible for Stidham to be the starter Week 1, it does seem very unlikely. Regardless, the Broncos don’t have the ammo to move up for a top QB, so I think it likely they trade out of this pick or trade back into the 2nd and grab one of Nix/Penix should they fall. For now they stay here and take Verse.
1.13 Las Vegas Raiders - J.C. Latham, OT, Alabama
- Consensus: Taliese Fuaga
- Right position (1/1.6). This selection feels very murky, as I loved the Fuaga pick here based on play style and versatility. I don’t think QB is on the table here after the signing of Minshew and Pierce’s public defense of O’Connell. Seems likely they give it a year and see what sticks. This ultimately came down to Quinyon Mitchell or J.C. Latham. Mitchell seems like a Telesco guy, who has a habit of picking high athleticism players in RD 1 (QJ, Zion Johnson, Rashawn Slater, Kenneth Murray, etc.). Alternatively, Latham seems like a Pierce guy, as his play style and strengths feel (to me) very similar to Fuaga. Ultimately, I think Latham is a player both can get behind, and it stays in line with Telesco’s trend of taking OL early (3 OL drafted in RD1, and 0 CB).
1.14 New Orleans Saints - Dallas Turner, DE, Alabama
- Consensus: Olu Fashanu
- The Saints biggest three needs (in my eyes) are OT, DE, and WR. Over Loomis’ last 10 drafts, 7 of his 13 RD 1 picks have been in these three positions, so the overlap seems good. In this slot I will default to the highest player on the consensus board, as well as an athletic freak, which Loomis has gravitated to in the past. Their DE room may be a bit cluttered for 2024, but with Chase Young and Cameron Jordan on one year deals, this gives them some insulation at the position should they not return.
1.15 Indianapolis Colts - Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
- Consensus pick (1/1.6). Mitchell has the type of athletic profile that Ballard covets, and is at a higher position of need compared to other positions. I wouldn’t be shocked at one of Brian Thomas Jr. or Adonai Mitchell, but with them likely in the same tier of prospect and CB being a higher need, Quinyon gets the nod.
1.16 Seattle Seahawks - Jer’Zhan Newton, DT, Illinois
- Consensus: Troy Fautanu
- Schneider, for the purposes of this exercise, is a fun GM as he has no real consistent positional trends to lean on. Looking at the players on the board, I am going Newton as this feels too early for IOL to me. I think he is a great fit for the defensive scheme that MacDonald ran in Baltimore (and likely wants to run in Seattle), and I’ll give the nod to the defensive player for the new defensive coach.
1.17 Jacksonville Jaguars - Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU
- Consensus: Terrion Arnold
- While I think CB and WR are of equal need, I ended up leaning CB for two reasons:
- 1) BTJ has a freaky athletic profile, which Baalke has been leaning to.
- 2) This receiving room needs some help. Kirk and Engram are good players, but outside of that you have Gabe Davis as a vertical threat, and Zay Jones on the last year of his deal. None of that should be holding you back from taking a potential WR 1 for your franchise QB.
1.18 Cincinnati Bengals - Byron Murphy III, DT, Texas
- Consensus pick (2/1.6). I honestly think the Bengals draft spot is an interesting one, as OT, WR, and DT are all near the top of their needs and there are good prospects in all three categories here. Ultimately I decided to lean on consensus to replace D.J. Reader.
1.19 Los Angeles Rams - Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa
- Consensus: Laiatu Latu
- First RD 1 pick since 2017! I love the consensus pick here, but alas, our rules forbid it. This came down to CB or DT for me, and I ended up going with a fit over the BPA based on the big board. From the notes I have, LA is a zone heavy team, which is where DeJean has been the best. The potential safety versatility is a nice plus as well.
1.20 Pittsburgh Steelers - Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
- Consensus: Graham Barton
- I am surprised Mims is not the consensus pick here (based on the database), but I’ll take the small victory. Over the last 15 years the Steelers draftees in RD 1 had their pro day attended by both the HC and GM. Both attended Alabama’s pro day, the Steelers need an OT, so Mims is now off the board.
Picks 21-32 Metrics - Consensus Picks: 0.8
- Right Position Picks: 1.4
- Player Outside Top 40 Selected: 3.2
1.21 Miami Dolphins - Laiatu Latu, DE, UCLA
- Consensus: Jer’Zhan Newton
- Starting caliber IOL prospects can be had in RD 2, so I think the Dolphins pivot to their next need priority in the DL. Latu is the best DL prospect on the board, and by self reported accounts said that his injury history has not come up as a talking point with any teams that he has met with. He ends up getting the nod over the next available DT.
- The similarities between Jaelen Phillips (drafted 1.18 in 2021) and Latu are a little funny (I didn’t realize until after the pick was made):
- Phillips & Latu: Played DE at UCLA (at one point), and both were medically retired (at one point).
- Phillips: 6-5, 260 lbs. 33 ¼” arms and 9 ¾” hands.
- Latu: 6-5, 259 lbs. 32 ⅝” arms and 9 ⅝” hands.
- Phillips: 4.58 40 (1.59 split) at his pro day.
- Latu: 4.64 40 (1.62 split) at the combine.
1.22 Philadelphia Eagles - Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
- Consensus: Cooper DeJean
- This might seem weird, but hear me out. The two most immediate positions of need for the Eagles are LB and CB. However, I don’t see the selection of either in RD 1 for two reasons:
- 1) Eagles fans (that I have heard) are adamant that Roseman does not prioritize LBs enough to take them in RD 1. I’ll trust them on that.
- 2) The Eagles have not taken a CB in RD 1 since 2002. Furthermore, during Roseman’s tenure, the highest he has ever taken a CB was Kelee Ringo last year at 105. I have not been trying to set new precedents in this mock, so I’m not going to do it here.
- Since LB and CB have been ruled out (fairly or unfairly), I went to the OL to continue solidifying the Eagles strengths. I think Guyton could use some time in development before he hits the field as a full-time starter, and could be the heir apparent for Lane Johnson.
1.23 Los Angeles Chargers (via CLE via HOU via MIN) - Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
- Consensus: Michael Penix Jr. (by MIN)
- The Chargers have holes at a number of positions, and Arnold is a great mix of BPA and need. With the Bowers pick at 11, and the two DTs off the board, this seems like a good pivot option.
1.24 Dallas Cowboys - Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU
- Consensus: Amarius Mims
- Right Position (1/1.4), Outside Top 40 Pick (1/3.2); CBB 41. The Cowboys need to fill the hole that Tyron Smith left behind, and Suamataia is the guy to do that. Can fit in on the right or left side, and has the athletic profile that Dallas has gravitated to in the past.
- Similar to the Phillips/Latu comparison, the similarities between Tyler Smith and Suamataia are a little funny:
- Smith: 6-5. 324 lbs. 34” arms and 10 ¾” hands.
- Suamataia: 6-5. 327 lbs. 34 ¼” arms and 10 ⅝” hands.
- Smith: 5.02 40, 1.71 10 split, 27.5 vertical, and 8-9 broad.
- Suamataia: 5.04 40, 1.74 10 split, 28 vertical, and 9-2 broad.
1.25 Green Bay Packers - Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M
- Consensus: Nate Wiggins
- Outside Top 40 Pick (2/3.2); CBB 40. No Packers fans, I am not doing this to you because of my Lions’ allegiance. Cooper gets the selection here for four reasons:
- 2) Since Gutekunst has been the GM, the only time the Packers have drafted offense was for Jordan Love. Since we are not setting new precedents in this mock, and they don’t need a QB, they stick with defense.
- 1) As stated at the beginning of this post, GB has gone outside the consensus top 40 for 3 out of their last 7 RD 1 picks. They seem the most likely candidate to do it again.
- 2) Since Gutekunst has been the GM, the only time the Packers have drafted offense was for Jordan Love. Since we are not setting new precedents in this mock, and they don’t need a QB, they stick with defense.
- 3) Gutekunst has historically used RD 1 selections to draft high RAS players.
- 4) GB needs a starting caliber LB.
- Looking at all four of these points, Cooper checks all the boxes. A defensive player outside the top 40, at a position of need, and a RAS of 9.34. I do think Payton Wilson is a very likely alternative here, but I ended up giving the nod to Cooper as he has less health questions.
1.26 Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Chris Braswell, DE, Alabama
- Consensus: Chop Robinson
- Right Position (2/1.4), Outside Top 40 Pick (3/3.2); CBB 52. In the race between IOL (likely Barton) or DE, Braswell ended up being the pick here for two reasons:
- 1) Licht has not picked an IOL prospect in RD 1 in his tenure.
- 2) TB has drafted a DE outside of the consensus top 40 twice in the last three drafts (Logan Hall at 43 in 2022, and Joe Tryon at 54 in 2021).
1.27 Arizona Cardinals (via HOU) - Darius Robinson, DL, Missouri
- Consensus: Kool-Aid McKinstry
- This came down to CB or DL, and with Kool-Aid falling out of RD 1 (based on chatter) and the right position picks being filled, I went to the versatility of Darius Robinson. I went with him over Chop for two main reasons:
- 1) Chop’s injury history is a legitimate concern. He has the highest ceiling of these two, but also the lowest floor.
- 2) Darius has the ability to play on the interior or on the edge. From what I can find, they switch pretty fluidly between 4-3 and 3-4, and I think he can fit in both of those with relative ease.
1.28 Buffalo Bills - Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
- Consensus Pick (1/0.8). It’s hard not to mock a WR to Buffalo with how bad that room is right now. One difficult aspect of this is that Beane has only drafted one pass catcher in RD 1; Kincaid last year at 25. I also don’t know if Mitchell is as much of a “lock” to go RD 1 as we think. He made some comments during the combine about not going 100% all the time in college because he didn’t need to, and I think that is going to really stick out to some front offices. Ultimately I leaned with the consensus here, but it wouldn’t shock me if they go a different route.
1.29 Detroit Lions - Jackson Powers-Johnson, IOL, Oregon
- Consensus: Darius Robinson
- While I would prefer they trade up for Latu/Verse if they fall into the early 20s (which they did here), or trade back into the mid/late 30s (e.g. Commanders coming to get a tackle), ultimately they stick and pick JPJ. The IOL was a revolving door with injuries last year, and Ragnow’s recurring injuries may become a bigger issue as time goes on.
1.30 Baltimore Ravens - Graham Barton, IOL, Duke
- Consensus: Tyler Guyton
- I’ve personally read more smoke regarding Jordan Morgan being the guy here, but OT is off the board due to our rules. I went with Barton here to fill the need at guard after the Zeitler departure.
1.31 San Francisco 49ers - Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
- Consensus: Jordan Morgan
- With OT off the board due to our rules, and not a lot of needs outside of that, I have the 49ers adding a different type of receiving weapon. Kittle and Deebo have two years left on their current deals, Aiyuk is on his fifth year option, and all three have a skill set different from Worthy. I think he can fit right in and be an asset in the short and long term.
1.32 Kansas City Chiefs - Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona
- Consensus: Xavier Worthy
- WR is off the board for the Chiefs due to our rules, and instead KC goes to OT. I don’t think Wanya Morris is the answer at LT, but theoretically he can also hold down the spot for a bit if they need to bring Morgan up to speed.
Bonus Picks: 2.33 Carolina Panthers - Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon
2.42 Houston Texans (via MIN) - Kris Jenkins Jr., DT, Michigan
2.54 Cleveland Browns - Junior Colson, LB, Michigan
Players Inside Top 32 Outside of RD 1 (6/5.6): - Troy Fautanu, OT, Washington. CBB: 20.
- Get ready for this rock solid reasoning: statistically, at least one player inside the top 20 had to fall. Sorry Fautanu.
- Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson. CBB: 22.
- This is a mixture of a gut feeling and playing the numbers with CB being the most likely position to fall. The mix of size and lack of interception production I think could boot him out of RD 1.
- Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama. CBB: 24.
- I think Kool-Aid is a great player, and would be happy to take him in RD 1, but this is again just playing the numbers. I also think his two interceptions over three years as a starter is sure to make some teams give him a grade outside of RD 1.
- Chop Robinson, DE, Penn State. CBB: 29.
- An athletic DE with lackluster production and injury history. I really like him when healthy, but that’s also the biggest issue. Hard to invest RD 1 capital on that type of player.
- Michael Penix, QB, Washington. CBB: 31.
- A good player with extensive injury history, and QBs are the most likely to fall (especially at this CBB rank). Having him slip outside of RD 1 doesn’t seem like a stretch.
- Bo Nix, QB, Oregon. CBB: 31.
- Same rationale as Penix minus the injury history.

2024.04.22 06:00 AutoModerator Weekly Advice Thread 22/04/2024
Welcome to the WAT, summoner! Post questions regarding team composition, content progression, game mechanics, or anything else in this thread. If you are able to help your fellow summoners, please take some time to contribute to the community and answer some questions yourself as well!
A lot of helpful guides and resources can be found in the
subreddit mega wiki.
If you ask a question please give ALL relevant information!
- Your monster box: Upload a screenshot to Reddit directly or an image hosting site like imgur or use swarfarm. Sort your box by "Grade" and try to include all 4*s and LD nat 3*s.
- Your current progression: Where you currently are in the game, what your teams are, what content you need help with and what you have tried so far.
- For ToA, which enemies are on the floor you're stuck on.
- For PvP, indicate what rank you are trying to achieve, i.e. currently F3 want to get C1 Arena. For RTA also share your rank percentage.
The less people have to ask you to clarify or look up to help you, the more likely you will get a (fast) response.
Beginner friendly/farmable PvE teams
Note: Recommended progression path is currently being update for the Reloaded Update. But you should still follow the general path of beating Giant's, then ToA, then the rest.
- GB10: Vero (L), Fran, Loren, (2A) Kro, Shannon/Lapis
- GB12: Vero (L), Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, Shannon/Lapis/AkhamamiSigmarus
- DB10: Verde (L), Vero, Fran, Loren, Spectra (2A)
- DB12: Verde (L), Vero, Fran, Loren, Spectra (2A)
- PB10: Verde (L), Colleen/Fran, 2A Raoq, 2A Kro, 2A Spectra/Yen/Pang. You can also use 2A Jultan to tank the boss (on multiple Will sets).
- SB10: Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, 2A Raoq, Ling Ling
- NB10: Lapis (L), Colleen/Fran, Loren, 2A Raoq, 2A Kro/Raoq (NB10 guide). Twins are a much better choice and should be used if possible. You can also directly use Tricaru.
- SRB10: Verde (L), Shaina, Sieq, Astar, 2A Raoq
- ToA(H): Fran (L), Lapis, Verde, Loren, Vero/2A Kro/2A Spectra. Use Tyron if you have him. 2A Sath/Thrain are good options if you want to go for a dot team, do not use Baretta as he's terribly outdated.
- R5: Front Line: Xiong Fei, Darion Back Line: Colleen, 2A Kro, Tesa, Theo/Xiao Lin/Belladeon
- R5 solo teams: Check this thread
- R5 stat minimum: You need 25k HP and 1.5k DEF for FL units and 20k HP and 0.8-1k DEF for BL units. Healers and your cleanser should have 100% RES after lead.
- Rift unit options: Xiao Lin, Theomars, Fran, Colleen, and 2A Kro can be used in most of your rift teams. FL Mav/Bernard is good for Water rift and Lapis is good for Fire and Dark rifts. Twins are great in all rifts.
You still need appropriate rune quality and turn order! Do not expect to beat a dungeon just by having these units.
Common speed teams
- R5 - BJ5: Colleen, Baleygr, Janssen, Dagora, Loren, lead unit (BJ5 guide)
- R5 solo teams: Check this thread
- DB12: Verde (L), Vero, Loren, 2A Spectra, 2A Kro/Lyn/2A Shamann/...
- GB12: Akhamamir (L), Galleon, Lyn, Vero, 2A Kro/2A Roid/Riley/Shannon/...
- NB10 - Tricaru: Either add Astar or replace Verde with her (on vamp, same stats). Adding Astar and Lushen to clear waves first also works.
- PB10 - Tricaru: Kill towers first (usually L>R>B but some people reported R>L>B working better for them).
- SB10 - dots dots dots: 2A Sath, Mellia, Mellia, 2A Tatu, dot unit/Lushen
- SRB10: Verde (L), Shaina, Sieq, Astar, 2A Raoq
- DB10 - Tricaru: Verde (L), 2A Icaru, 2A Icaru, 2A Icaru (guide (Note: DEF requirement is 3300)) (Cheatsheet) (Calculator)
- GB10 - dots dots dots: 2A Sath, Mellia, Mellia, 2A Tatu, dot unit/Lushen (guide)
PvE accuracy requirements
Accuracy | Area(s) |
0% | Rifts |
15% | R5, Predator |
25% | SB10, PB10 |
35% | GB12, NB12, SRB10, Dimensional Hole |
45% | ToA(H) |
55% | GB10, NB10, ToA Hell |
65% | DB12, DB10 |
General tips and answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
- NEVER feed non-farmable monsters! (you can feed dupes for skill ups)
- Save your devilmons! In general you do not want to give devilmon to 4* units, Sigmarus and Jeanne are the best early game candidates. Veromos does not need devilmon.
- Best summon stone targets: Tyron, Lushen, Shaina, Sabrina, Talia. For PvP Khmun, Skogul, Galleon.
- Check the events for free energy, mana, and other beneficial stuff. To find the current event pages use the button below the energy/mana counter in-game.
- Lapis can farm Faimon Hell on the free 6* level 15 vampire/revenge runes provided by the challenges. She should be your first 5* and probably 6* as well.
- Shield sets can reduce the HP/DEF requirements on other units and multiple shield sets will stack to form one larger total shield. Each set contributes a shield equal to 15% of the base HP of the monster they are equipped on.
- White artifacts from B2 are cheap to upgrade and can give you a massive stat boost early.
- Hall of Heroes (HoH) should be attempted as high as you can climb. Reps like Rica or Verad can help a lot. Mid/late game players can get 5 extra copies of the HoH monster using almighty scroll pieces after each floor at the small cost of 2000 guild points for each extra monster.
- Most nat 5*s are PvP exclusive and should be set aside in storage till you make some progress on PvE. Some exceptions are CC units like Rica for ToA, cleansers like Anavel for starter R5, and Perna for rifts.
- Dimensional hole energy should be spent as soon as possible, always try to stay under the energy cap (recharge rate: 1 per 2h). 2A Kro first, then Spectra or Raoq.

2024.04.21 06:25 Devin43G Insurance failed to cancel my flood insurance when I requested it to be canceled.
October 11th 2023. I entered my local agents building to cancel my flood insurance (that I have through them through fema) after paying off my cheap house. I was told I need to come back the next day to sign papers. I going the next day. And I do.
December. Two months go by. And no refund for the remaining 4 months of my term. I call my agent. And no answer. I call the customer service number online. And am informed it was never fully canceled. That my agent didn't click one button. I enter my insurance agents office that Friday. (My only day off that they are open) My agent is not there. But the other person is. I inform her. And she told me she will let the agent know next week. The agent calls me the next week and apologize and says the large company was hacked and that he will resubmit. Maybe a week later. I get another call and he tells me that apparently he submitted the wrong one. And that I'd need to come in and sign a new paper. So, I come in the next Friday and sign it. February. Still no refund. I call the customer service. They say it isn't canceled still. And that he needs to click a button... I go into the office the next Friday and inform the other person in the office. She tells me she will leave the agent a note. January February. Life gets busy and I forget about it till March. March 8th. By now my policy has ended in Febuary. Noooo refund. Call the customer service. He needs to click a button. I go in again on a Friday. He's not there on Fridays. I talk to her. She informs me she has told him numerous times. She's apologizing. Tells me she will tell him again. April 11th. No refund. Call customer service. They say I haven't not had a policy since 2014. I call the agents office the next day and inform the other person what I had heard. She knows that they are wrong. I know they are wrong. April15th a Monday! I call customer service. Still not canceled for October 11th they tell me it ended in Febuary due to non payment. I inform them that that is okay. Tell them a short story about whats going on. And tbey say okay. Its a Monday! The agent is working. The other person is off this day. I call 3 times in the afternoon. And no answers. After 3 rings. It goes to voice mail. I leave work early and I go the the neighboring towns office and talk to someone there. Informed them quickly about what's going on and asked them to do it. She tells me she will contact the female in my local agents office about it on Tuesday. Tuesday. April 16th. The lady in my local agents office calls me and tells me that she herself. Got the agents log in information. Signed in on his computer. Went in while having customer service on the phone, and clicked the button that the agent has been needing to click. Thursday. April 18th. The agent calls me. Tells me that flood(fema) won't refund me, because WE took to long. He tells me that he's going to try and get me my money some way. And he will start making calls. April 14th. Friday. I enter my agents office. He's not there because he doesn't work Fridays. I talk to the other person and ask for the documents that I signed. She says she will send them to me when she finds them. Then we proceed to talk for over an hour about the bs I've been going through with trying to cancel my flood policy. We learn about each others lives. We get along great. She's super nice. She even shit talks the agent. Tells me he doesn't work Fridays. That he only works one full day. And has 3 half days so he can go substitute at the school and teach P.E at the kindergarten. Less than an hour later. She sends me an email with my signed documents. Says she will keep me informed. Still waiting.
Now I'll tell you about the agent and Is history. 2019. I'm buying the house in this small town of 4k people. And i choose them for insurance since im already going through them since at the time I had car insurance through them. I get off one graveyard shift. Get to the office by 830. Hours are 830 to 430 at this time. No one is in office. 15-30 min later go by and the agent shows up. Gets out of his pickup with his kid and I give him shit for being late. He then tells me off. I apologize. Baffled by the situation. I go in with him. We talk for a few min. I leave. April 2019. I buy the house. Insurance checks it out. Then insurance informs me that I need a new roof on a part of the Noth side. I call my agent. And he tells me "it's that one side on the north side" I climb up see the worst side on the north side. And i get a buddy to help me roof it two weeks before the deadline. I call the agent and tell him it's done. He says he will come by and take pictures of it and send it in. The day before the deadline. He shows up and takes pictures. The next day. I get a letter in the mail, that my insurance has canceled me because I missed my deadline. And I also received the rest of the year refund check. I call a new insurance company. Get insurance through them. Cancel my car insurance through the orginal insurance company, and I send off my refund check to my mortgage company.
Since the day I gave him shit for being late. He has not been very helpful....
So. If I don't get my refund. What can I do? I'm suepr lost. And I don't even know what to research.

2024.04.19 23:34 CaptainCarlz Mediation went (kind of) in our favor, so why do I feel so upset?
Two years ago, BM and I were really close. After the last custody fight, we really tried hard to all get along for my SS(10). We were doing holidays together, talking a lot, and it really felt like BM and I were good friends and I could trust her. Big mistake. My husband, while he supported my decision to build that relationship, did not trust her and felt like we were opening ourselves up to more manipulation, and he was right. My husband and I started arguing a lot and, looking back, it was all because of her influence. About two years ago, it was the worst, and I was too involved to see it was due to her manipulation. She started slowly trying to get me to leave my husband, first talking about how he should treat me better and shouldn't get mad that we were friends (he never was mad, he just didn't want her so involved in our lives), and it eventually got to the point that she was convincing me to divorce him. She even made the comment, "You can always come live with us so you can still be in SS life." Her family is a trainwreck, and there's no way I'd ever want to live with her, but with the arguments between me and my hubs, I felt so alone and like she was the only one there for me.
It all came to a head when, after another argument, she filed a CPS report for domestic violence and the same day filed for full custody and child support. She lost primary when SS was 2, and hasn't improved her life much since then. Come to find out, anytime we would argue (in our bathroom behind 2 locked doors and well after the kids were in bed), she told SS to take the watch we got him, get as close to our argument as he could, and call her so she could hear what was going on. She was having her child wake up at 2 in the morning to spy on us, then used that to file this bogus report that we were physically abusing our kids. CPS, of course, found absolutely nothing, but SS said BM would routinely tell him that he was going to live with her full time now, my husband would only see him supervised for 2 hours a month, and that they were going to move to a different state, etc., etc. Needless to say, it was chaos. SS would have panic attacks all the time, and it was not a good time for us.
We got a lawyer, got ready to go to court, got all of our ducks in a row, then...nothing. She never sent in her stuff, she kept trying to be buddy buddy with us, and we always kept one arms distance. All communication was through a group text with them as well as both step parents. After she filed the suit and CPS report, she tried to bully my husband into only speaking with her, calling me "Mrs. XXX" instead of my name. My husband basically said "She has been in his life since he was 1 year old, his primary residence is in her home, and she is just as involved in his life as I am. She will be included in communication regarding SS."
Things calmed down for a while, but we always had this custody suit hanging over our head, and finally they had mediation on Wednesday. Hubs wanted her to lose overnight stays on school nights since SS always comes back exhausted and would sleep from 4pm through the night if we let him, but she refused to give up any more time. I have had horrible anxiety from this for so long, as well as SS, so hubs compromised to save us the stress of going to court. She hasn't had to pay any child support in the last almost 6 years, since she decided that my husband could have exclusive rights to his education as long as child support was taken off the table, and we don't need the money. It hasn't stopped her from trying to butt her way in by setting up conferences with his teachers without his knowledge. She has even signed him up for extracurricular activities and just put my contact info, which she is 100% not allowed to do. Unfortunately, folders are sent home the day she has him each week, so we never got to see anything that was sent home, so we arranged with his teacher to hand it to me when I came to pick up my daughter from school that day.
After everything was settled, she now has to pay $300/month, summer visitation is every other week, both parents have to see the papers that are sent home from school, and all communication goes through AppClose. However, her lawyer added at the last minute that only the biological parents can communicate, which my husband wasn't informed of. He has so much trauma and anxiety from her actions in the past that he gets flustered when dealing with her, and I have always been a kind of go between since I can mediate between them. While it isn't that big of a deal now that everything is communicated through an app, I can't help but feel like she did this intentionally to alienate me from the discussions. Hubs has assured me that he will not respond to her until we have both discussed it and I am there to see the discussion, but I know how she is, and she finds every opportunity to try to shut me out.
It doesn't matter to her that I have been the main mother figure in his life after she screwed up her own life and lost custody, and SS has physically spent more time with me than he ever has with her. She is HC, and if my husband doesn't answer right away, she gets insistent, bordering on harassment. She's even cornered hubs right before a soccer game that he was coaching to talk about SS's behavior. All of this leads to high levels of stress for him, and it takes a while for him to shake it off. I am tired of seeing him so on edge, which was the whole reason that I was the middleman. I could calm him down, and word his responses in a way that was polite, even when he didn't want to be.
Since SS's teacher hadn't been informed of anything yet, I still went to pick up his folder from his teacher the next day, and not even 2 hours later, her lawyer sent an email that his folder wasn't sent home with SS, which was clearly a violation of the mediation agreement. I just want to scream. She never gave a shit about his education until she didn't have a say, and now she's trying to weasel her way back in. Not paying child support was more important to her than having an opinion on it when he was 5. Why does she care now? She didn't even think about registering him for kindergarten until a week before school started and she asked if I had done that yet.
Deep down I know the mediation was a good thing. We don't have to drag this out in court (the first 2 times were a nightmare), and all communication will be documented now, but I can't help but feel like she got her way, which was to alienate me and make my husband feel isolated. I know I can't control her actions, but it just feels like a huge slap in the face after everything I have done for SS that should have been her responsibility, but she was too busy getting DWIs and stripping to care about his future.

2024.04.19 07:48 LivePerspective9000 NAVIMOW H 2024 VS. 2023 - WHAT'S NEW?
The mowing season has already begun and we believe that you have noticed Navimow H has some new features since last summer. We have been constantly updating your Navimow and released several new versions in the past 6 months. In case you missed what's been updated, here's a brief reminder:
- Multi-Zone ManagementNow you can cutomize the mowing settings for each zone: cutting heights, mowing directions, enable or disable Edge Mowing and EdgeVision. Just go to 'Map Management' select a zone and tap 'Edit'.● Mowing Directions: You can select up to six mowing directions for each zone. In certain narrow areas, a specific mowing direction may reduce mowing efficiency or induce more slippage, you can remove such unfavorable directions.● Customize Mowing Schedules for Each Zone: For example, now you can set up a schedule for Area A and Area B in the morning, and Area C in the afternoon. A Mowing Cycle switch is also available, you can decide whether the mower needs to start from scratch after the mowing progress reaches 100% within the scheduled hours.● If you want to mow one specific zone, choose it on the home page and click "Start".● The Edge Mowing Switch: If the boundary in one specific zone is cluttered with obstacles, you can either choose to switch off Edge Mowing or enable EdgeVision to reduce the risk of the mower getting stuck.
- Doodle: Your Lawn, Your CanvasHeart, diamond or a cat face, you can set up a pattern and lasting timing, and you will get a personalized doodle in your yard.
- Mowing reportsHow does Navimow perform after one day/week/ month's work? You can now clearly see it in the app and use this information as a reference to set up your mowing schedule. Go to Settings > MOWER > Mowing reports to check it out.
What's more:● New Status on the Mower Display: Your Navimow now displays 'IDLE' when it has no ongoing tasks; displays a two-digit number indicating the progress in percentage during manual mowing; and displays 'AUTO' during scheduled mowing.
● You can now manually select a time zone and enable the Daylight Saving Time mode.
● Navimow H now goes back to work until the battery is charged to 90%, which has increased from the previous 85%. With more power, Navimow will work longer with one charge.
● The nighttime brightness level for the lights on both the charging station and the mower can be adjusted. The lights will get dark at night, and get back to normal in the day.
● You can now check the status for maintenance and replacement suggestions for the blades and other parts in ‘Parts maintenance’.
● Tap and hold the MOW button on the app to clear the mowing progress and start again.
● 4 more languages are now supported in the app: Hungarian, Croatian, Romanian, and Slovenian.If you need more details about those updates, please refer to the following two Release notes. If you have any questions, feel free to search for answers in our 'Help and feedback' section in the app, or live chat with one of our service agents for help:Navimow H V1.5.0:

2024.04.17 02:06 Maraxen Transmitting data wirelessly using HC-12
Hello, I'm currently working on a project that involves two stations: a transmitter and a receiver. Please keep in mind that I'm a beginner.
On the transmitter side, I'm using an ESP32, HC-12 433MHz module, GPS NEO-6M module, BME280 sensor, and a microSD card reader. The goal is to send data from the GPS and BME280 to the receiver twice a second and output it to the serial monitor.
I managed to create code for both stations that works as intended, but there are a few issues bothering me. Firstly, I haven't been able to figure out how to properly set the delay so that it sends the data twice a second. Secondly, when I disconnect the microSD card while the ESP32 is running, the interval between each attempt to send data becomes much longer. I resolved this by creating an if statement that disables writing to the microSD after I type a command in the serial monitor. But I'm still curious if there's a better way to handle this issue and what causes this behavior.
Additionally, I noticed that on the transmitter side, it's able to output the data with a delay set to 100ms four times a second, but the receiver only receives three lines of data.
Finally, I would appreciate it if you could review my code and suggest improvements to take a different approach or make it more readable.
Is someone able to solve these problems for me and send me the solution with explanation? If that's too much could someone please tell me where should I look for the answer?
Here's the code for the transmitter.
