I can only wait for the new 7* assist evos and perhaps new units / buffs to the main units. Maybe my boy Velkhana will become OP again!
Oh wait never mind. It’s still a 48-hour rerun. Why couldn’t they make it a full collaboration? 🙈😫
It’s 2 days only but is a full collab though, does counts as a 6th run and not a rerun of 5th run.
Oh and yes it is a 2 week rerun in NA starting tomorrow! So the buffs are already here for me!
The low cd on these equips are a design mistake and make many of them super awkward to use. Would have been better to give them high cd, and make something, a new tamadra, a skill ups dungeon that generically skills up any equipment card, that fully skills up equips or some way to fully skill up that doesn’t require 20 py. Low cd inherits see much less use than long cd inherits.
Nobody likes dying to a dungeon because an inherit came up over a needed base active, it’s a huge feel bad that inspires deep long and lasting hatred. Design is making a mistake not treating it as the painful close-the-game-for-the-day design issue it actually is, and continues to pretend cd9 equips with no short/long configurable cd options are perfectly fine.
Other than that, an okay collab nudge. The trend to give filler tier cards equips is a good direction. And you can see they are gradually less terrified of EC awakening being more equippable.
I disagree, 3 times color boost for a short amount of cooldown plus decent assist awakening is good considering these are 6 star monsters. Compared to old assists, these are much much better in utility and overcharging is not bad.
It’s more of a way to balance them. These are 6 star cards, so it’s understandable they are not top-tier assists. That being said, low cd equips are not as detrimental as they used to be. Now that actives are very short and spammable, putting such an inherit on a low cd card you use every time it comes up (such as Seina, Ryumei, or Nadeko) will mean you won’t ever have to worry about over-charging
these new assists are HOT
