lost ancients of blue unit thoughts

Sorry for the delay I am unsure of power levels anymore so this is just gut based. It will also be a lot more informal since I typed way too much being specific...

These units sure are something...I have had trouble putting down my thoughts on these ones but let’s get into them (metaphorically).

Joyful diver Hisaki

I honestly had some trouble rating this unit. While he adds the new to players status aim and an ability to give incinvability to anyone for a turn he just doesn’t feel put together well...it feels like they tried to make a character perfect for auto battle but it ends up feeling off since he works better controlled.

The main reason I feel is his lack of speed which can be remedied with sidekicks but feels like it works against a character who really wants to go first. Team building around him feels a little more frustrating because of this.

basic skill : Collimation Attack this skill could cause zero damage and still be good. Aim is interesting in two ways since it will cause defense down for multiple attacks and also cause randomly targeted attacks to hit that target. This drastically stabilizes team comps that use those attacks and helps direct attacks for easier auto battling but only if he goes before them.

second skill: Flare Reinforce  provided a basic attack up level 2 buff for an ally with bonus damage if they are a fire element unit. it also gives an additional two combo. This helps give reason to use him on certain teams rather than other attack up buffers.

third skill: Opus Creation provides another new mechanic to skill balancing. The ability to grant invincible on any unit is nice but it vanishes at the end of turn. This helps give stability and options for other units who want to redirect or absorb large attacks. It also lets you more reliably save certain units from certain death and heal them a bit.

rating: well, done (3/4)

A big boost to any auto battle team makes him a good addition to your roster but could be replaced with certain sidekicks. To get his full potential you will need to know the enemy pattern though and have units that complement him. I feel like he will be power crept by other units in normal battles and most automates don’t need his mechanics, his skillset really wants higher speed, and what he uniquely adds isn’t something you can’t achieve the same result with other strategies.

Gaius

A unit with a nice skill rotation he skirts the line between attacking and support to keep the pressure on. I enjoy units that provide something to play with the rest of their kit and especially when they give themselves debuffs. Speed is cheap in lah so his power budget didn’t increase by much because of this. His whole design kinda suffers from various factors…

basic skill: Sagitta Aqua: A simple high damage attack good for the first turn or when you do not want to use his other skills.

second skill: Fluctus Caeruleum: Large damage to a single target but if you have a debuff it removes it from yourself and has a chance of removing a debuff from your allies as well. It seems over costed for what it does LW seems to really dislike AOE cleanse skills. Since you can restart battles, it being only 50% isn’t bad.

Third skill: Lacus Serpens Ira give you cheap aoe damage to units letting you keep hitting the boss while taking down small fry in return for eating a speed down level 2 debuff. Additionally, when you have a debuff your damage is halved from this skill. The tradeoffs don’t seem to be worth it since the speed down is fine but halving your damage is frustrating when other units have way better third skills for just a bit more view. It does give you a way to proc your second skill if for some reason you would need to group cleanse.

rating: rare (2/4)

A trend of me not liking these power levels is clear since while a non-limited unit I feel like he is outclassed by other units and could be replaced with sidekicks. He feels like a free unit we should have been able to get via quest rewards. I enjoy what they tried to do but don’t feel they succeeded.

Riptide Andrew

Off topic but I talked to someone about them getting more artistic style sprites and how funny it would be neat to the simple ones. The shading on Andrew seems to point to that direction lol.

An interesting unit held back by some minor problems I wish he had a 5-star power budget.

Basic skill: medium damage with low chance to grant the defense up buff. The game really dislikes giving high percent on this buff (I assume because it would make some battles drag on and since it stacks make some enemies pointless)

Second skill: A multi hit move that can cause defense down at a low chance. Like most multi hit skills its useful when a damage cap exists or to knock off buffs on the enemy that can be removed via attacking.

Third skill: I actually like the design of taking buffs and transforming them. You can make 2 guaranteed attacks with an additional 3 attacks by consuming your defense buffs. While not the strongest version of transforming buffs to damage it does give a nice use to buffs that otherwise may not by used. Being a multi-hit move and the fact it has a high damage percent means with proper set up you can get a lot of damage.

Rating well done (3/4)

Overall, you will get the most use when you using aoe defense buffs or things that grant multiple stacks of it. Most the time it feels like attack up buffs would be better if you have a choice to play risky.

  as a banner I would say hold off on pulling but maybe use your tickets for andrew but as always if you like a unit pull! the rule of a favorites will always be best. none of these units felt like they added something making it worth while to pull for them outside of theory crafting or min maxing so i may be a bit harsh.

» Hiraeth Chapter 12 || Haikyuu AU

❝They will learn how to fly.❞ – an AU where the kids of Haikyuu characters grow their passion for volleyball and face their problems.

Starring our OC’s Hoshi, Minami, and Leo! (don’t worry they’re as fluffy as our babies from Haikyuu but sprinkle in more angst)

Read Chapter 11 Here!

Stuck

As Leo and his family walked through the large auditorium, and everyone’s eyes fell on Leo. They looked with awe, confusion, and… distaste? Whatever those scowls were for, it definitely wasn’t pretty. 

Leo glanced around the hall wanting to walk back to his team in peace, but his parents insisted on coming along despite his protests. 

Minami quickly waved goodbye to her teammates and followed her family. She was having a conversation with Hinata and Kageyama as they walked together to Leo’s court. Minami flailed her hands around to articulate the excitement even words couldn’t convey, volleyball really was the source of Minami’s happiness. 

Leo’s heart clenched painfully, he wished he could feel the same way. 

He hung his head low, ignoring the gazes from others as he watched the floor blur beneath him. Even the hushed whispers couldn’t be completely covered up by the booming laughter of his family. They slowly strolled past large crowds of different teams, making it even harder for Leo to look around in confidence. 

A flash of mint green and white caught his eye, making him whip his head up just to realize his mind was playing tricks on him. 

Sighing, Leo trudged his way towards his team as his head spun with dread.

“We’re gonna go find seats,” Hinata beamed, catching Leo’s attention before he could walk straight into a wall, “Oh… oh! Yeah, you should totally do that. Haha, when did this wall get here…” Leo sputtered, staring at the wall. 

Hinata laughed, “you haven’t seen a wall before?” ruffling Leo’s hair before he turned away. Hinata nudged Kageyama who was right behind him with Minami still rambling about her last game. They abruptly stopped to look at the two in front of them. 

“Good luck Leo, we know you’re going to do great!” Kageyama patted Leo’s head, as Minami yelled, “good luck!” sending him a thumbs up, before she ran off to find good seats with Kageyama following right behind.

Hinata stayed behind, resting a hand on Leo’s shoulder. Leo glanced up towards his father’s warm, golden eyes. 

What Leo saw surprised him. 

Hinata’s smile radiated pure adoration and love. If the sun needed a break, Hinata could definitely take over the job.

“No matter what, we’re proud of you,” Hinata promised, with a wide grin on his face. 

Leo’s eyes widened and his mind wavered. Staring back, he replied a quick,  “thanks dad…” before he let his mind spiral with thoughts once again. 

Hinata waved goodbye as he moved towards the other two who already found seats nearest to the court. 

Leo couldn’t help but think to himself, “I’ll never catch up to them,” before running to his team. 

Karasuno was waiting outside the door to the court, the air was tense with anticipation. 

“Hey Leo, how was your sister’s game?” Dino asked, looking up from his spot against the wall. Katsuki sat besides him staring at his phone screen, perking up as Leo approached. 

Leo sighed, sliding down against the wall besides Dino. He adjusted his glasses, “they won.” 

Katsuki peered around Dino,  “damn tell her congrats!” Dino nodded and Kise turned away from his own phone, “that’s a sign!” 

Leo turned around in surprise to see Kise right in front of him with Hikaru behind Kise, “we’re totally gonna win against Tokonami High!” 

Hikaru high-fived Kise, who both started cheering. 

“Tokonami High?” Leo questioned. 

“They’re our opponents for the first game,” Kousei said, helping out Yoshi with the equipment. Leo nodded, watching Coach Ukai study his notes, going over what to do with Ayama and Hisaki. 

Staring at Hisaki, Leo couldn’t help but feel jealousy creeping into his veins, his hands clenched his uniform tightly. Leo tried to control his thoughts, breathing in and out, but the waves were pulling him even deeper. A whistle blew out from past the door and Ukai glanced up, his face turned serious, “it’s game time.” 

The bright lights blinded Leo, as his feet dragged him over the threshold into the arena, the screams blew up in his ears. Shielding his eyes, Leo scanned the stands to see Hinata and Minami out of their seats jumping up and down in exhilaration. He sighed, a small smile forming on his lips, as he watched them. In surprise, he found a lot of familiar faces surrounding his family.

Next to him, Katsuki’s eyes glistened, “hey look! It’s mom, dad, and Uncle Tanaka!” Katsuki yelled as he started waving his hands. Dino also looked up to find Yamaguchi and Tsukishima, the latter talking to his older brother. 

Their families sat behind the Karasuno banner, flapping in the wind, the giant white letters Fly swaying high in the air. 

Fear creeped into Leo, and he grimaced at the thought of disappointing them all. 

The court seemed like a monster, with its large mouth and razor sharp teeth ready to punce at him at any moment. 

Flexing his fingers, he tried to persuade  himself that everything was going to be okay.

But it was far from okay.

He didn’t know how he ended up in the circle with Ayama in the middle giving a team speech to raise their spirits. “Don’t be rash,” his eyes roaming over Hikaru and Kise who were already jumping around, “and work together as a team. We can win this.” 

Leo sighed, trying to calm his nerves down. It was quick and simple, what could possibly go wrong.  

“WOO! Go Karasuno!” yelled Hikaru and Kise as they followed behind Ayama, riling everyone up before they faced the other team. 

The two teams lined up on opposite sides of the court, their heads bowed as they greeted for a good game. 

“We’re serving first, Coach,” Ayama said, jogging away from the middle of the court where the coin toss landed on heads. 

Coach Ukai nodded, “good luck out there. “ 

Leo was stuck along the sidelines in the white box that prevented him from going onto the court. 

The only thing he could do was watch. He felt like a spectator, neither important nor useful, to his own team— a team that he desperately wished to play with. 

He wanted to get onto the court, to feel the adrenaline-filled atmosphere, the anticipation, the exhilaration, the feeling of being in an official game. 

His body was stiff as his eyes watched every move of his team. Ayama threw the ball high into the air, smacking it to the other side. The enemy captain dug up the ball, and with swift fingers, the setter set the ball towards their wing spiker. 

Hisaki and Dino jumped, their arms raised high into the air as if they could touch the sky, just to see the ball whizz past them. Ryu dove for the ball making it soar, once again, towards Hisaki. Leo followed the movements of Hisaki as the ball left his fingers towards Hikaru who excitedly jumped into the air, slamming the ball down onto the floor. 

The whistle blew, signaling the first point. 

Hikaru pumped his hands into the air in celebration as they screamed their support, “good job guys!” The crowd got louder, and the cheers only seemed to grow in strength. 

Once again, the whistle blew and the ball rose into the air. The libero swiftly picked it up with a smirk on their face. The setter jumped into the air, their feet slightly off the ground. Leo watched with amazement as the ball seamlessly flew behind towards their ace. The ball seemed as if it was hit with a rocket, as the enemy ace slammed it onto their side. 

They were now tied with 1-1. “Don’t mind!” called out Rin, his soft smile refreshing to see. Overall, everyone was still eager to play, their morale high in the air above the clouds. 

Time seemed to rush by as Leo continued to watch from the side, occasionally glancing up towards the scoreboard to see neither team getting ahead. The momentum was on neither side, balancing the two teams no matter what each team tried. The frustration started to roll off the team as they fought desperately to get ahead. 

Ryu jumped into the air, his arms behind his head as the ball flew into his range. His hands slammed into the ball, landing on the court with a heavy thud. “Yes!” 

But that was only one point, one point that could easily be caught up to. The same back and forth pattern continued. The enemy wing spiker rose into the air, their hands prepared to attack despite the wall Dino and Hisaki built. Leo could see their gritted teeth as they waited for the onslaught, the ball slammed into Dino’s hands, falling besides him. He could see the anguish flash across their faces as Hikaru desperately dove for the ball just for it to land in front of him, his fingers barely in reach of it. His fist slammed onto the court, the first sound that chipped away at their high morale from the beginning of the game.

  Leo couldn’t stand to see their family’s reactions, but curiosity killed the cat. He could see everyone’s wavering gazes, despite their cheerful words of encouragement. 

Katsuki would sometimes be subbed in for Kise, both of them a bundle of nerves, each eager to score the winning points of the team. 

Jealousy sat on Leo’s shoulder, whispering into his ears, that despite trying his hardest, he could never go out and play. 

The game felt stagnant, despite Kise and Katsuki’s efforts to change the momentum. Katsuki managed to get a few points ahead, only to be caught up quickly soon after. 

“Don’t mind!” Ukai would yell from the bench, but even the stress was getting to him, his fingers clutching his clipboard. 

Both teams finally entered the 20 point mark, neither of them budging to move ahead. It now depended on who hit 24 points first. 

Leo watched as Dino sprung into the air ready to spike the ball, their middle blocker jumping in response. The ball slammed into their fingers, flying off into the distance. “Nice job Dino!” Katsuki yelled as he cheered for his cousin. The next second Tokonami High’s setter dumped the ball, falling onto their side of the court. 

“You’re kidding me…” Leo voiced, the scoreboard stating 21-21, “we can’t win like this.” 

“Keep believing,” Kousei responded, his soft colored eyes never leaving the court. 

The whistle blew signaling the end of the first set, Tokonami High taking the first win. Despite the smiles on their faces, the team walked off defeated. 

“Good job guys, we can win the next one!” Kousei said, clapping his hands in encouragement. 

“That’s right,” Coach Ukai said facing the team, “I know everything looks bad now, but you have to keep fighting. Don’t give up.” 

His words seemed to restore some of the energy of the team, as their faces filled with a newfound determination. 

Leo could feel a storm approaching, as he forlornly watched them walk off. Sighing, Leo walked back into the white square only to be stopped by Coach Ukai.

“Yes, Coach?” he asked quietly, his eyes not quite meeting his. 

“Get ready, I’m going to sub you in during this set.” 

It took a second to register inside Leo’s head, but his brain seemed to hiss at this bright revelation, “I’m ready.” 

Coach Ukai smiled at him,” good, we’re gonna need it to win.” 

The whistle rang out, signalling the beginning of the second set. 

Everyone was silent as they watched with bated breaths waiting to see what the second set would turn into. Leo watched with anticipation as their wing spiker smacked the ball down, the first point going towards Tokonami High much to their dismay. 

Despite trying to keep positive, the storm seemed to inch closer as if a premonition to how their game would end. 

Hisaki passed the ball towards Hikaru, his hand high in the air, slamming the ball down onto the court. “That’s right!” he yelled into the air, startling everyone. Kise bursted out in laughter, trying to join in so they could shake off their fears. 

The unexpected yell from Hikaru seemed to wake everyone up, their mind back on the game. 

The bright lights shined down, the yells from the crowds continuing to ring in Leo’s ear. Leo was adept at watching the game, but his body bounced and he continued to wait for his turn, despite the game entering its later stages. 

He was patient, but his fingers itched to touch the ball.

The game soon entered the 20 point mark and Coach Ukai called for him, “you ready?” 

Leo shook in excitement, “yes, Coach!” 

“Now go and win us this game.” 

The whistle blew, his hand high in the air with the switch card of the number 2. 

Hisaki looked up, a frown clear on his face as he walked off the court towards Leo. 

His hands covered Leo’s as he took it from him, “don’t lose us this.” 

Leo nodded with determination and ran onto the court, ready to win the set.
