Earlier this year, I made a bunch of Fate/Grand Order cards on a whim to hand out to Fate cosplayers and F/GO players at Sakura-con 2016. Being a last-minute idea, they were cheaply made using simple sheets of paper and some packing tape. Despite this, people loved them and I quickly ran out before the end of the 3-day con. And so, for this upcoming Anime Expo 2016, however, I decided to make a second batch of cards, but in larger quantities and much higher quality. Me in my Male Protagonist (Gudao) cosplay holding up my Team Basaka. Except replaced …

“Platinum Ninja”, 1v1 Arena PvP video for Blade & Soul NA, Mushin server Recorded by Desiree, lvl 45 Blade Dancer Build: https://bnstree.com/BD Blade & Soul: http://www.bladeandsoul.com/en/ I was digging through my video recordings folder and found really old footage of me hitting Platinum for 1v1 arenas prior to the PvP season (aka right before arena got flooded with Destroyer/KFM bots). It’s not really impressive footage but figured I might as well upload it since I don’t have any other recordings of me PvPing in Blade & Soul. Plus I did promise myself to use “Ninja Re Bang Bang” in one …

Reddit post: DP Damage Reduction Scaling Calculations from blackdesertonline Copy-paste archive: Spoiler: To accompany the previous [AP damage scaling calculations](https://www.reddit.com/r/blackdesertonline/comments/4iow0q/ap_damage_scaling_calculations/), I did some DP damage reduction scaling tests. This time, I used my lvl 55 witch at 110 AP against a lvl 52 warrior with 188 DP. Again, Multiple Magic Missiles was used and the hit counts factored into the calculations. I tested against 188/170/139/107/0 DP by having the test target warrior take off pieces of armour. Each set of trials was 50 tests. Unlike the AP calculations, the DP damage reduction calculations weren’t so conclusive. While damage reduction is …

Reddit post: AP Damage Scaling Calculations from blackdesertonline Copy-paste archive: Spoiler: **Edit:** I accidentally checked “Set intersect to 0” in the original graph, which forced the equation to go through (0,0). After unchecking this, the updated equation becomes “y = 0.561x + 0.6283”, which is likely inaccurate as it would mean a calculated positive damage at 0 AP (of course, in-game the damage may round up to 1, but that’d be due to a forced minimum damage rather than the scaling). This indicates either the data being drastically effected by a margin of error (due to small sample size) or …

Summoning and final ascension lines for all 91 currently available Servants in Fate/Grand Order (as of 2016/03/07). Mashu not included and missing 4th ascension line for Santa Saber Alter (3rd ascension shown instead). Recorded by Keripo using Mobizen (Android screen mirroring app) and OBS (Open Broadcasting Software). Screen mirroring connection was over Wi-Fi and upscaled from 720p, so the quality’s a bit low in some areas and audio is slightly delayed. Here’s the timestamps 0:09 アーラシュ / Arash 0:35 アステリオス / Asterios 1:00 アタランテ / Atalanta 1:18 アルジュナ / Arjuna 1:50 アルテラ / Attila 2:17 アルトリア・ペンドラゴン / Artoria Pendragon 2:42 …

Reddit post: The end of a long journey – all Servant smiles protected from grandorder Copy-pasted archives: Spoiler: In total: * 205 days * + 1143 pieces * + 1143 monuments * + 661 ascension items * + 100’s of millions of QP * + a lot of time, money, and dedication * = all 88 smiles protected :) Missed the screenshot for Scathach’s final ascension and stuck on 3rd ascension for Saber Alter (Santa) cause I missed most of the Christmas event, but that’s that. I’ll probably still roll tomorrow night for the new Kara no Kyoukai collab (cause …

Mushin Tower Floor 7 (Junghado) for Blade & Soul NA, Mushin server Recorded by Desiree, lvl 45 Blade Dancer Build: https://bnstree.com/BD Blade & Soul: http://www.bladeandsoul.com/en/ Been running Mushin Tower repeatedly over the last few days for farming Warrior Tokens and decided to record a random Junghado run for a guildie. I like to play around with KDs and aerial combos more than necessary (PvP force of habit) so there’s definitely a lot of low-DPS periods and it’s definitely not the fastest you’ll see out there. I also realized that I haven’t actually recorded enough video footage for a proper opening, …
