i still can't tell if a darker skin color incites something since there's a fair amount of questionable stuff around karin (her l2ds) and well iori (her momos and the beach l2d)

Darker skin tend to be associated with gyaru/gals (when they are tanned, gyarus comes in all skin type) and they themselves are associated with questionable lewd stuff, so it kind of a easy excuse to make ecchi/hentai stuff involving Iori and Karin.

That said, I just assume that for Iori, its pretty much the feet situation and her summer variant that made people draw her in many questionable stuff, while Karin is more about her being the partner for Asuna in those questionable stuff, so when Asuna got them, Karin is expected to be in it.

Iori is a typical dark elf, which is standard anime race and has no relations with Nigger.

Karin is more Middle Eastern/South East Asian than African (else she'd have more pronounced lips), thankfully not a jeet. She probably isn't tanned since otherwise you'd have non tanned spots for the fanservicey costumes.
 
What the fuck is this shit and how did I find this thread? I dunno if it's the booze or the jetlag but this weeb shit is too much for my old man brain. Goddamn Japs and their pedo gooner pandering.
 
does anyone have a nice, clean PNG of doodle sense I can use to censor my face in various pictures
 
So, Volume 6 is now up on the Japanese's server and while it's unusually short (12 story chapters, though there might be more next week), it's more or less the continuation of Volume 3, focusing primarily on Arius.

Also they brought in new mobs for people to fawn over:

They are the same mobs we seen since volume 3 (the one with grenade launcher, that is, the SMG one is brand new), but now that they have story prominence now, they got unmasked version.

The story of Volume 6 itself is rather light early on, but something tells me that there are something big that would happen down the line.

So it's about Sensei post Volume F getting into situation involving Trinity (with Nagisa at the forefront) wanting to help Arius and bringing them back into Trinity once again. Sensei got help from Saori and the gang, but they had to deal with a group of Arius students under Subaru (short haired harmonica player in Vol 6 teaser we got a while back), who doesn't trust anything from Trinity, let alone anyone "willingly" want to support them.

So sensei + saori's group tried to fix them. Slowly. Study tour was involved.
 
Looks like we're getting a lot of the JP QOL improvements and new features ahead of schedule.

- Archive recruitment for older characters as a permanent ticket banner; same characters removed from the normal gacha pool
- UE60 introduced, 2500 free elephs from John Nexon
- 100 additional elephs for first time recruitment of pick-up characters
- Allowing 1 pull tickets to be used as 10 pull tickets if you have a bunch of 1 pull tickets saved up
- Account level reward tickets for the archive recruitment banner
- Pyrox shop for growth materials (not interested)

As well as the Highlanders and Tiphereth raid as per the expected schedule.

Is there actual gameplay in this? I didn't press anything and I won.
 
Calling Blue Archive an "RTS" is bit of a stretch but the teambuilding alone has surprising amount of depth.

EX skills with a targeted AoE can be previewed/aimed (drag mouse before clicking again or press ESC to cancel. Embarrassingly, this took me a while to figure out) and in general, proper timing/cycling of EX skills makes a difference in a tight mission.

One example: when you combine 1-star Serina with 2-star Tsubaki, you now have an effective move command (Serina's EX spawns a medkit that closest unit within range will go pick up) and an Tsubaki's EX taunts all enemies within range. This will make missions, where enemy boss has a conical AoE attack, way easier. Taunt effect also forces Riot Shields enemies to drop the defensive stance and any attack with a long-winded animation will get cancelled.

Every CC status cancels the ability of the enemy unit to use their EX or basic skills or interrupts it if it's about to go online. You can notice that if you watch PvP (lmao) and every time one of your units get hit with any CC skill, their EX is greyed out. For the purposes of game mechanics, the special abilities that the enemy mobs have, like throwing down their shield, doing a cone attack, throwing a stun grenade, summoning cover etc. is an EX skill.
 
Few key tips for anyone who's completely new to the game:

If you've never played a mobile game with an energy system, the AP may be a bit confusing. I remember I had 999/100 AP and holding on to it a bit too long. If you go under the 100 or whatever is your current softcap, you will passively restore one energy every 5 minutes. Only way to get account XP is to spend AP. AFAIK the AP-to-EXP ratio is always 1:1 but accounts below level 50 get catch up XP. I think sometimes there are double-EXP weekends.

Tickets that are listed 6/6 are fully restocked when daily reset hits. Bounty costs no additional resources and should always be spent. Scrimmage has an additional AP cost and gives weapon parts you can't use for a while*. Lessons start out as 3/3 and the cap increases as you level up the different locations. I made a relatively big oopsie by clicking "Tickets Owned" instead of "Ticket Info" and thinking that lesson tickets are a cash shop item you get limited samples of. You get 50 AP daily from a task that simply requires you to give out two lessons.

(*aside from Hasumi (Track) who is rewarded from an event rerun that replicates some kind of unintended thing from the original event that allowed people to max her out. When you start encountering enemies with Blue/Special armor type, I recommend you get her from the Event Recap. If you want to read the story linearly, you should do the event that gives Hibiki (Cheer Squad) first as the two stories take place just a few hours apart.)
