A woefully incompetent woman begs the question: at what point are you to blame for your failings, no matter the hand you were dealt?

A LobCorp OC fic set in the side branch of O-05, where things are bad and keep getting worse.

@LimbusStatus Aeng Du Ish is actually the strongest "clash lose" conditionalist by far. Like, if spammed correctly she becomes one of the highest raw damage IDs in the entire game.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@s_c1290 @dihuistarfan365 "Sometimes, rarely, seeing fringe usage in a team that hardly sees any play because of having a lot of bad units" does not make a unit good in my book, no. That is exactly what I am saying, thanks for understanding.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

I think most communities have two different definitions of bad: what isn’t meta-viable, and what is just outright dogshit. Both of these definitions have flaws.

By the first definition, Driftshu is bad. Bad on Rupture, bad on Poise. By the second definition, she’s just fine.

[JJK @dihuistarfan365]

Literally no one considers driftshu bad what

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@DallocSex Okay but it is kind of because the team is very bad. I suppose by that definition you can say "she's playable out of bad options" but man, the bar is on the floor.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@s_c1290 @dihuistarfan365 Like seriously I've seen low turn clears with Cinq Meursault and Xichunmael, neither are exactly high tier units there's just nothing else to run lol

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@s_c1290 @dihuistarfan365 The Heishou are hardly run either? I've said multiple times that the state of Rupture is abysmal because it is just Maost, Lord Lu, and a bunch of filler bullshit due to a lack of options.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@s_c1290 @gurofr0t It's deeply alarming how bad the average twitter user is at understanding basic sentiments and opinions.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@gurofr0t That's super awesome of you to point out. Say, how much rupture count does she have per cycle?

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@dihuistarfan365 Her main issue is that, well
1. Rupture units kinda suck atm, lol. The team is in a truly abysmal spot where it only has two good units and a common meta strat is to only use one Heishou so Lord Lu S3 can call upon Maost twice.
2. She’s really mediocre with her application.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

However people struggle to use context clues so they’ll see someone talking about meta see “(x) is bad” and get really mad, or vice versa. It’s a weird thing, innit?

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@AliceSnaky Those babies are cool as shit you can't deny PM cooked with the themes and such there.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

Gotta admit, I kind of like the Phillip slander

It's not always funny (it often isn't) but the reasons people slander him are a lot of the reasons I love him as a character. Too much glaze feels wrong.

The flaws make him human, and the haters make his determination admirable.

[Dummy at Dawnbreak @dumitaph]

New gens would never know. How long the night was. For how long Philip was mischaracterized and slandered by the community. Even I don't know the full extent of it. I joined PJM in 2024. But even in these 2 short years I bore witness to the brutality Philip endured every day.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

It may not make a lot of sense to others, but it makes sense to me. The victory isn't as sweet if there's not a bit of a fight involved, y'know?

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@bradwr_modredus —Gaheriet and Guerrehet, while Gaheris took on more of the negative aspects. That's two whole ass characters being mix and matched to create two whole ass new characters.

All this to say? Don't sweat it. If you're well-read in Arthurian literature, it'll show in your version.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@bradwr_modredus —a character that is usually portrayed as a damn good knight and a solid person, only to be depicted as an absolute bastard in the Prose Tristan beat out only by the likes of Brehus. You also have Gaheris and Gareth, where Malory's Gareth took on most of the positive aspects of—

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@Spooky_Shade Play a game with me, you’ll kick my ass and I’ll call you a smurf. Promise.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

There is nothing more deeply arousing in video games than being called a smurf by the enemy team.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@CookieDreams43 It really is a question of pure DPR. If Wedge Outis & friends can put up Nursefather numbers, they’ll be good. If not, they’re Tremor Scorch victims.

[Kassablanca @Moritzva2]

@CookieDreams43 It Depends ™️

Until we see the numbers it’s impossible to tell. Outis seems great no matter what, but Don and Sinclair depend on their numbers. Since they all have to be used together, it is a question of if the Wedge can beat the Thumb/Bladeshu.
