[Top 10] Eternal Return Best Characters That Are Amazing (2022 Edition)

Panrad — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 06:36:59 +0000

Have you Struggled grinding rank only to get destroyed by characters who you hardly recognize? Well, I have and it sucks. So in this list I will share with you the best characters to play solo, heading into Season 5.

This list will be based off the pre season patch notes and watching various tournament placements.

10. Daniel

The Barber not from Fleet Street

Our demonic barber squeaks into the bottom of the list. He has been receiving nerfs for the last 2 patches now but all well earned. Give this man an inch and he will take much more than a mile from you.

Personally I find him slippery as a fish in water, he has high mobility, decent burst and an execute that makes him the best character to get ahead with and maintain that advantage. He is extremely viable in solo but takes a lot of practice to be played effectively.

The recent nerfs have made him a lot slower with his skill rotation and removes his ability to kite unless you can predict like a god. I know I can't, so here are the good and bad points of note.

Pros

High damage
Ultimate is an execute, escape tool, and self protection
Can dash through walls
High mobility
Good Escape tools

Cons

Almost 0 CC
Growing Inspiration (W) takes getting used to before it is used properly
Q has a relatively long cooldown so landing it is crucial
Needs to be ahead to stay relevant
Almost no catch up potential.

9. Aya

Sniper, Rifles, Pistols, all of these and more

This gun toting dame takes the 9th slot as I have averaged the performances of her three weapon styles. Each style has their own playstyle and effectiveness, however for this list we are looking at her solo performance.

I personally think that Assault Rifle Aya is the best for Solo but her performance as Sniper Aya is a strong contender depending on your play style. If you like a more ability heavy caster like build where you have to land your skill shots then Sniper is the way to go, if you want to kite and right click the enemies down then Assault rifle is for you.

She remains balanced even after five seasons of this game, stating how stable she is as a character.. However with the changes to the scaling of weapon mastery we can expect a big change and buff to her already strong sniper build.

Pros

Has a build for almost any occasion
Strong ranged damage and a kit that attacks from a safe distance
Gains a shield when she attacks making her tankier than expected
Can dash over walls and attack while moving
Fast Build that can be completed in 3-4 zones

Cons

She can only do 1 thing at a time either burst or DPS
Ult is a liability as it makes you stand still
Still really easy to kill once caught
Needs room to fight/ needs to kite
Has to be ahead or else is too weak

8. Echion

Faster than the eye can see

This character uses a unique weapon, the VF Prosthetic. Along with mana he also has a blood gauge to manage while fighting. He may seem weak but you better watch out because this guy has a lot more than meets the eye.

Personally I find this character an extreme nuisance when fighting against. While he takes awhile to get to full build and requires a lot of the rare materials like meteorites, or Trees of Life, even at a disadvantage his skills are strong enough to win convincingly.

He is one of the newer characters introduced before season 5 and takes a surprising amount of skill to learn and play competitively. However once you have learned his basics you will only win more as you master him. He is by no means a simple character but he rewards hard work well.

Pros

Extremely high mobility
High consistent damage
Good burst potential
Can survive burst from 1 character
Really good at 1 vs 1

Cons

High skill floor
On the slower side for building (5-6 zones)
Needs to get lucky with Meteorite/ Tree of Life
Weak when VF meter is empty
Most abilities are hard to aim and land while moving fast.

7. Jackie

Here's Jackie!

This crazed axe murderer goes around with a chainsaw and has 4 styles of play, however the stronger ones are the Axe and Two handed sword. She is a tanky bruiser with a Sword, and a damage dealing tank with the Axe. So let's see what makes her tick.

Recent changes have buffed her so that when she uses her ultimate and pulls out the chainsaw it is near impossible to beat her in a duel. Along with her passive that gives her flat damage she hits like a truck and moves like one as well.

I played Jackie a lot when I was getting out of silver and even when it is your first time playing her it is hard to get punished as your basic abilities gather a lot of mileage even with only a few points of investment.

Pros

Easy to Learn and master
Hits hard and fast
Can jump over walls
Skills have relatively low cooldowns
Tanky and depending on weapon either mobile or hits harder.

Cons

Slow build (5-6 Zones)
Easily Kited once movement is on cooldown
Hard to stick to enemies (no slows or stuns)
Needs to auto attack for damage
Lacks Complexity for outplaying

6. Aiden

Lightning Fast, and just as deadly

The most recent addition to the Eternal Return roster (as of this article) this lighting wielder is an interesting character to play as he is both ranged and melee. Combine that with a series of skills that rely on landing them for the damage half to be dealt leads to a bruiser with the potential to chase characters down to the end of the earth.

I have not played as Aiden much but I have played against plenty of Aidens. He is the kind of character where if you dodge his skill shots then he does no damage, but if lands them in succession then you will see that gray screen faster than you can even type GG.

As he is new there are no changes made to him yet, but because he is new they are testing new mechanics and his transformation mechanic is on the strong side. As you fight with him he will slowly gain energy to turn into a ranged character, and once you try to escape him he will shoot you down.

Pros

Good CC
Can fight from melee and ranged forcing duels to the death
Strong abilities and Ultimate
Can cut off Escape routes
High chase potential

Cons

Relatively long cooldowns
Needs to land skills otherwise low damage
Can get chased down if he does not win on engagement
Sometimes the change in attack range causes a crucial skill to miss
Loses to characters who can sustain or out damage him

5. Luke

Always Stuck on Cleanup Duty

This Janitor- assassin is here to clean up the competition. If you have ever wanted to play a secret agent who is great at finishing enemies off then this man is the one for you, He has only 1 weapon so his builds are relatively similar and are quick to finish.

While at first he seems complicated with his evolution mechanic it is deceptively easy to learn his kit and how to best apply it. His entire kit screams “let me at them” as he has no utility in his base skills, so when you go in, be confident that you will win the fight.

Unlike the other assassin on this list, this janitor does less sneaking around and escaping, he focuses more on deleting the enemy off the map and pressuring them into engaging into him.

Pros

Has a skill with siphon (Lifesteal) with big damage
Skills literally evolve while leveling up to gain more utility
High burst in a 1 vs 1 situation
Has a slow and a stun along with high damage
If combo’d correctly he can repeatedly cast his skills until the target is dead.

Cons

Cannot escape if in a bad engagement
Must constantly be farming, (weak if animals are denied)
Can be killed easilyif any of his skills miss
Deceptively squishy (He survives with his Siphon)
Has no dashes

4. Adela

A little castling never hurt anyone

The chessmaster is here to play 4D chess while everyone else is still playing checkers. Once mastered this lady will destroy anyone who comes her way both in melee and in mid range. If you want to show how much larger your brain is, and enjoy predictions and preparations then this lady is for you.

She is a difficult to learn and master character however the pay off is immense as the depths of skill she can go and setup into will absolutely destroy any unready competitor.

While you could say that she is a duelist, she is much more vulnerable to attacks and more often then not tries to avoid those close encounters.

Pros

High CC
Can CC lock certain characters to death
Has a skill that grants invulnerability
Turns into a mid ranged character once leveled
Good survivability and self protection

Cons

Easy to kill once skills are on cooldown
Requires a lot of prediction and planning to use skills properly
A misclick will ruin the entire combo
High skill floor
Can run out of mana fast in an extended fight.

3. Chloe

Playtime's just started

The puppeteer never fights alone, with Nina at her side any 1 vs 1 easily turns into a 2 vs 1. While gathering resources or crafting, Nina is always available to kill animals or scout out any enemies you may hear heading towards you.

I think that she requires a lot of micro control, something I am horrible at. However her power and damage speaks for itself when in competent hands. She goes hard and hits harder so watch out if you see the small doll heading towards you.

How fast are your hands? Because if you think you are fast enough then this character will absolutely destroy people, especially with her shuriken weapon skill she can slow anyone while zooming at them at mach speeds.

Pros

Can gain weapon levels while gathering and crafting
Basically turns any fight into a 2 vs 1
High sustained damage
Can easily get ahead and maintain the lead
High movement speed and has a dash

Cons

Squishy
Gets extremely weak if Nina dies
Hard to come back if griefed early on
Requires a high hand speed and micro control
Nina is easily killed

2. Nadine

Hunter of Hunters, The Hunter Hunter even

The huntress is one of two characters who can scale infinitely in this game, so the longer this goes on the stronger she gets. Combine that and her mobility and ranged nature lets her be an absolute beast at kiting enemies till death and chasing them down if they run away.

I have played both as her and against her and I will say that a fully charged Q feels amazing to hit late game, likewise it feels dreadful if it hits you at that stage. She is mobile and has zoning tools to keep enemies from jumping on her too fast.

With the new boar mechanics in the game Nadine has an even easier time farming the animals as she can move along via boar express. She can spot animals on the minimap and knows when they are taken by enemies. So if you know how to get ahead in your farming she is the character to maintain that advantage.

Pros

Disgustingly strong poke
Good at sustained fights
Can zone and slow characters approaching her
A versatile dash that can curve and juke if placed correctly
Scales infinitely

Cons

Weak early on in the game
Really squishy
More often dies when the enemy reaches her
People focus you early because it is hard to kill you later in the game
Requires knowledge in pathing (for herself and enemies) for killing the most animals fastest.

1. Xiukai

Time to cook up the competition

This is the last scaling character and unlike Nadine his scaling increases his HP and damage. It's the full set and since there is very little percent health damage in the game you can usually outlast anyone you run into late game.

Personally I find this character difficult but rewarding, relatively low cooldowns mixed with high scaling leads this guy to destroy most 1 vs 1 fights, and even against characters designed to kite he can close in and slowly whittle them down to death.

This Chef requires knowledge in the cooking recipes and where to get ingredients. So there is a level of game knowledge required to play him correctly as he scales based on the food he cooks.

Pros

Really tanky late game
Some of his skills scale based on his Max HP so it does tons of damage later on
Is always cooking so you always have food and SP regen on hand
Can easily “Wok” away if the fight gets tough
Has good CC to combo someone to death

Cons

Cooking eats up a lot of SP, so SP management is a must
Knowledge of Cooking recipes and ingredient locations are a necessity
Really weak early on
People will focus you because your food is empowered and you will scale too hard

So that is the list. While there were many contenders to make it into any of these spots, these are the characters that are fun to play and make you say “wow” when you manage to learn them and skillfully win all your matches.

[Top 5] Eternal Return Best Solo Characters That Wreck Hard!

Panrad — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 18:58:16 +0000

Hello again everyone!

Now sometimes everyone gets that itch to play solo. A chance to show off your skills and really play like the pros do. After all, in solo there is no revival, so it turns the game into a true survival battle royale.

Of course, you wouldn't want to enter a solo game with a team based player right? Or worse yet a fully support focused character. To stand the best fighting chance at beating players 1 vs 1, or even 1 vs 2 if you get third partied, here is the list of the top 5 characters to play solo.

Just as a reminder before we start the list, every character is viable in all modes of play, everyone is balanced to play a certain way and while some characters may counter that play style they are also strong against other characters. No character is inherently weaker than another, some just take less skill to learn how to effectively use them.

I will also be choosing specific weapons when it comes to characters with multiple weapon builds. With that said and done let's get started.

5. Yuki

His looks are only dwarfed by his skill with a blade

It is easy to learn and looks good while playing. Yuki is the posterboy of Eternal Return; armed with a katana his best solo build is the two handed sword build. It has the health and defense that his dual sword build lacks while still having a respectable amount of damage.
This character is armed with a stun, an auto attack reset and a variety of skills that let him keep attacking, this character has enough depth that there will always be something to discover as you play him. He is a 4 zone character who gets his purple weapon at the 2nd zone, meaning that he can start fighting and gaining weapon levels early on.
Personally I think he deserves the 5th spot because of how anyone can pick him up and be effective while simultaneously a skilled Yuki player can destroy a lobby. His kit allows him to duel anyone to a victory and also escape getting ganked. He has the right balance of all kinds of skills to let anyone learn the game and win future games. While some say that a jack of all trades is a master of none, I say that it is still better than a master of one.

4. Eleven

All dressed up and ready to kill

This hamburger helper hits hard and tanks harder. While she looks friendly don't let that fool you, she can destroy anyone given enough time and keep herself topped up while it happens. In a solo game her AoE taunt may accidentally end up getting more than your target attacking you but her healing and jump more than make up for it.
Her skills all have an empowered version after being charged, and she relies on attacking enemies with her hamburger and picking up the smaller sliders that drop when she lands hits. The combination of healing from her sliders and damage from her charged abilities can surprise the unprepared due to her burst healing and burst damage.
Personally, her only flaw is that she needs to keep attacking her enemy to play around most of her kit. Even that problem is solved with her massive amount of slows and her one giant leap. Escaping is near impossible if she catches you off guard, and if you try to turn and fight she can hit her ultimate and give you a good beating for even trying. So I would put her 4th here because she can beat just about anyone in the lobby so long as she can get her items.

3. Echion

Armed, hehe, and ready

This VF blood based duelist is exceptionally strong in solos; in good hands he can 1 vs 2 and sometimes 1 vs 3 as his mobility lets him gather resources and fight sooner. His damage puts him on par with some assassins and has a shield to make him deceptively tanky. One of his only weaknesses is his vulnerability to CC but assuming he can see it coming he could dash away from it with one of his 2 dashes.
Echion makes it back to this list because of his complexity and high damage. To a new player he may not make too much sense but to a practiced player he turns into a lethal weapon with massive amounts of damage he can dish out in an instant. Powered by his VF bar, it takes mindful management to make sure that he does not empty the bar before a fight. When it is full he enters an empowered state that lets him duel just about anyone in the game right now.
Personally I put the top 3 in interchangeable positions depending on what play style you like playing more, Echion is my least compatible having to be extremely fast and reactive to dodge skills and activating his skill combo requires aiming and prediction with a small window of pause to give the enemy minimal time to react to it. He strikes strong and swift, but only in the hands of someone equally fast.

2. Chloe

All Dolled up for this moment

This doll master comes in at 2nd due to her innate advantage over everyone else: her doll. Fighting the two of them is similar to fighting 1.5 characters. Always at a numbers advantage she can multitask, both fighting and gathering at the same time. Her build is also quite fast to complete so she can get to the fighting earlier than other people can even dream of.
Her abilities revolve around piloting Nina to attack while timing her defensive buffs to when the enemy begins to counter attack. Her attacks timed with Nina’s can stun or knock up enemies to keep them away from her. With her ultimate she can cleanse all debuffs on her and Nina and make that chain that connects them do damage as well.
Personally she can progress herself at immense speeds and protect herself from would-be harassers. She can harass safely and if ever Nina dies she can be revived at the cost of health. She goes fast, and can dash over walls in a pinch. With her and Nina it would be hard pressed to ever put them on the back foot.

1.Jackie

The only Chainsaw I need is mine.

Taking the top spot would be Jackie, the chainsaw wielding psychopath. As a solo she can basically beat any character one on one so long as you are relatively close in levels and gear. Her kit maximizes her damage and damage output while also healing her each time she auto attacks.
Her axe build is the best for solos, as it lets her survive attacks and dish out damage to heal herself once again. Her axe ability combined with her blood rage speeds up her normally abysmal attack speed to a comparable level of a sword.
Personally I like her play style, with her W and passive she can deal the most damage per auto attack in the game. Combined with the fact that her upgrades are easy to attain so long as you can get either a VF blood or a Tree of Life she is the premier duelist in Solos in my opinion.

And that is the list of characters I believe to be the best at Solo. This is excluding personal skill of course because an extremely skilled player will usually trump a noob at the game no matter the character.

[Top 10] Eternal Return Best Duos That Are Amazing

Panrad — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 18:39:38 +0000

We’re back and this time I hope you’ve got your buddy with you because we will be going over the best duo teams to play in this new season.

With the recent changes to revival, mechanics expect the characters in this list to take advantage of that while your partner or you wait to get revived. Now onto the list.

10. Silvia + Leon

A Surfer and a Cyclist walk into a church, ever heard that one?

Let’s take a look at the 10th best pair and consider it the benchmark for future pairs. Silvia is the racer, a girl riding a motorcycle who can switch between ranged and melee. She has good aoe damage, as well as slows and speed ups to go along with her motorcycle. Leon on the other hand is a bruiser with a knack for CC, though requires a little bit of setup to land them guaranteed. He also has a shield and a big aoe push that carries enemies along with him for the ride.
How this pair works is that Silvia can engage while Leon protects her and targets his CC while the enemy is distracted by Silvia going in on her motorbike. Once she has dished out her AOE damage, Leon takes over as the main tank landing his CC and carrying them further away from Silvia who will shoot them from afar.
There is great synergy between the two because Silvia creates an opportunity for Leon to gather and CC the opposing group then dish out the damage while they are still being controlled by Leon.
I would rate this team a 5/10 as the baseline because a tanky enough squad will survive and then lash out, or their CC could be avoided, their characters could also get straight up killed by a higher damage team if they mess up their timings.

9. Zahir +Hyejin

Mystics and Magicians unite

This pair are both ranged characters, both deal good amounts of damage, and both have CC in one form or another.
Zahir is a ranged caster who can spam his Q and W to deal large amounts of poke while also setting up for his E to knock up enemies in case they approach him. Then when CC’d he can combo his skills with his ultimate to create a large AOE damage zone.
Hyejin on the other hand has a small area root, an inbuilt fear, and high damage as well as a dash to get out of a sticky situation. While her poke is not the best she makes up for it in free hitting as the enemy is CC’d or feared preventing them from hitting her.
This pair does a lot of damage and has skills on relatively low cooldowns, so once they have their weapons going they can abuse other pairs who may be still scavenging for the right resources to create their weapons. Pair their harass with an anti engage fear and this pair becomes a nuisance to deal with.
I would rate this team a 7/10, they lost to mobile enemies who can avoid their skills or enemies with control immunity or the ability to become invulnerable as in a sustained fight Zahir will eventually fall off in damage as he runs out of Q’s to throw and Hyejin cannot out damage 2 people at once.

8. Aya + Isol

Guns and Traps, Perfect Harmony

Again two ranged characters here, maybe we’re seeing a pattern? Anyway, both of these characters can initiate a battle from far away and continuously kite until their attackers die due to their control of the range.
Aya is played as an assault rifle in this duo as that sustained damage is more sought after over her bursty sniper build. With her dash and high attack speed, she can easily outrun and outgun anyone who chases her.
Isol on the other hand can start a fight with her conic W shooting everything in range then quickly repositioning with her E to go invisible and roll away. Combine that with a plethora of traps and you can set up a minefield that the enemy must slog through to even hope and reach you.
Combined they can turn any position into a deathtrap if you are unprepared. Conversely, playing as them requires a lot of farming and a good idea of how far you need to be to fight effectively. The two of them can kite enemies out, and with Aya acting as an emergency tank with her inbuilt shield, both characters have free reign to attack anyone at their leisure.
I would also rate this a 7/10 because without traps they have to play near perfectly to avoid getting caught by an enemy and they are weak to ambushes. Aya’s shield can only protect her from a middling amount of damage so concentrated fire can and will absolutely tear her to shreds.

7. Chiara + Aiden

Dark Magic and Lightning, are a perfect combination to make a sorcerer.

Double melee this time with a twist, as both of these characters, can become ranged if given the right circumstances.
Chiara is an assassin posing as a bruiser with her life steal and exploding shield. When she uses her Ult she turns into a fallen angel, becoming ranged and gaining access to execution when the enemy is low enough.
Aiden is a bruiser with good chase and CC potential. He can lock off zones with his ult making enemies think twice before entering his lightning storm and walk right into his sword’s waiting arms.
Combined they are a powerful ambush team and can play on the back foot as well having great single target damage burst to quickly turn a 2 vs 2 into a 2 vs 1. With Aiden’s CC and Chiara’s slows and roots, no 1 target can get away from whoever they set their sights on as they focus down any pair one person at a time.
I would rate this team an 8/10, with the recent changes to revival they have to spread their CC out more otherwise killing 1 member of the pair and letting the other go lets them revive 30 seconds later. However, this does introduce an angle to farm that pair as they will now be on the backfoot and easily killed for weapon levels.

6. Magnus + Zahir

What do a Biker and a Magician have in common? Blink and you'll miss them.

One melee and one DPS; an age-old pair that still stands strong even today. Magnus plays as the tank with slows, stuns, and armor reduction while Zahir has knockups, and large burst making this pair a threat to run into.
Magnus in this team builds half tank half bruiser, his role is to keep the enemies near him while Zahir does most of the damage for him. His Q slows while his W reduces armor, and under the right circumstances his weapon skill as well. He can stun with his E and chase down enemies or even finish them off with his ult.
Zahir returns to this list one more time as the damage of the pair. With consistent chakrams being thrown and the occasional tornado to ensure that Magnus can lock down the enemy this pair is terrifying to fight and a nightmare to accidentally encounter.
As a pair, they form the traditional DPS and tank pairing where one locks down the enemy while the other does the damage. It is not like the enemy wants to let the Zahir hit them for free but rather they cannot do anything about it.
I would rate this pair an 8/10, much like the last pair with the new revival mechanic it will be difficult to eliminate a pair early as most of Zahir’s damage is single target but it is difficult to overcome this pair as Magnus can provide enough peel to let Zahir attack freely.

5. Zahir + Rio

Shoot fast, then maybe Shoot faster.

Zahir is here once again and this time with the archer Rio. Rio is a great poke archer who can also deal consistent Dps at midrange. Fighting the two of them involves dodging a great many skillshots and hoping that your HP will last you as you try to get into attack range.
Rio can switch between her long-range damage form and her mid-ranged sustained damage. Combine that with 2 different poking abilities and a dash and this lady is as slippery as an eel.
Zahir, well everything has already been said about Zahir already but as a quick summary, he plays as damage and pokes in this pairing.
As a pair, they will whittle you down as you approach them and make sure that you will never touch them as they kite you and CC you to death. Even trying to escape won't do anything as Rio can snipe you from a screen away.
I would rate them 8/10. I have fought with a good Zahir Rio pair once before and I have never felt more miserable watching my health whittle away while they slowly kite me to my death. It's a good pair.

4. Cathy + Celine

Two bombshells throwing bombs how ironic.

This pair is interesting, I personally would not have believed in its effectiveness unless I saw it first hand and I have to admit that this team messed me up.
Cathy is an assassin, while she does have some minor healing when casting her Ult most of her kit revolves around landing her skills on the same target for a big burst of damage.
Celine on the other hand throws bombs all over the place. From regular explosives to pushback bombs to bombs that combine into one massive bomb, this explosives expert is a tough character to reach unharmed.
Combined Celine can dish out damage fast and while the enemy is trying to focus her down Cathy can stun the pair with her E or vice versa can throw her whole combo at the enemy while Celine sets up her massive bomb.
I would rate this team a 9/10. Aside from the surprise factor, they can come online quite early into the game and have so much burst damage in an aoe that a caster or another assassin will 100% die before they even realize what hit them.

3. Isol + Celine

You can never have enough explosions.

Welcome back to Saw, the character pair. Both of these trappers can set up traps pretty fast and can plant bombs in a heartbeat. It is something to keep in mind as you try to fight them.
In this Isol is the consistent source of DPS, and her traps are more like a bonus to this pair’s destructive force,
Likewise, Celine here is more likely to chain her bombs together rather than build that one big bomb for burst. Throwing her bombs out to corral the opponent rather than aiming to kill them in one cycle, but if they offer themselves up then she will 100 to 0 someone.
I would also rate this team a 9/10, you never want to fight them in the final zone due to how much of the map they can control at that point, and you never want to chase them either due to the possibility of walking into their collective minefield. A strong team if not an annoying one.

2. Hyunwoo + Silvia

Go fast and kick A**

This pair functions like the Silvia Leon pair but much better. Hyunwoo replaces Leon and is tankier as well as does more damage given the right circumstances. Those circumstances are given to him by Silvia in this pairing.
Hyunwoo is a character whose abilities get stronger the more health he has. He has a slow, a dash that can stun, a shield that gives CC immunity, and a windup ult that does massive damage if it lands.
Silvia in this team plays melee more than ranged as she slows and AOEs the enemies down to set up for Hyunwoo’s massive punch.
I would rate this pair a 9/10, they are honestly really strong even if their only hard CC is Hyunwoo’s stun. With how Silvia functions it is really easy for the Hyunwoo to stun the enemy then hit his fully charged ultimate to deal 50% of both enemies' health bars. It even helps that if they need to escape Hyunwoo can just casually walk out while Silvia rides away on her bike.

1. Luke + Sua

A janitor and a librarian. The perfect cleanup squad

Our Final pair stars 2 melee characters. Luke the assassin and Sua the melee caster. Their CC and burst damage make them a headache to fight as you have to hope to either avoid everything or kill one of them first before they can combo you to death.
Luke can engage with his Q, running up to the opponent hit by it, he can also sustain in the fight by using his Q as it heals him for a percent of damage dealt. Every one of his skills deals damage to a single enemy and lowers his Qs cooldown when upgraded.
Sua has CC for days, with a stun, a blind, a knock-up, and her ultimate which repeats any one of her skills again with a slightly longer cooldown. She can also give someone CC immunity if she doesn't want to blind the enemy.
Combined it either creates the perfect situation for Luke: an engagement on a CC’d enemy or lets Sua dish out her bursty damage while the enemy is distracted by the mop in their face. In either scenario, once one of their skills land on you you have to hope that your teammate can get away so you can revive later.
I would rate this team a 9/10, while on paper this pair seems extremely strong, it requires a skilled pair to time all of their CC like this together so that the enemy has no chance of responding. It also hinges on the enemy not having sustain or any way to escape this CC lock such as Sua’s shield.
That is the list of pairs I believe are the best. Of course, people who are skilled in a particular character can pair together and trump these pairs as a skill that will always triumph over in-game mechanics. But these are easy to play together and are extremely pleasing to see work.

[Top 10] Eternal Return Best Food That Are Excellent

Panrad — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 14:47:42 +0000

Welcome back everyone, are you feeling hungry for that Win? Well In Eternal Return food may be more impactful than it seems. The regen may actually play more of a part in combat than most would be led to believe.

These foods are based on how easy it is to gather the ingredients, the amount restored, and how much experience you gain from crafting these items. After all, if you come into a fight with a higher level and higher regen, then it is more often than not in the bag.

With that let's get to it.

10. First Aid Kit

Simple to use, Harder to find.

Taking the 10th spot on our list is one of the few items that heal you for a good chunk of HP 1000 points in fact. While this amount may seem like a lot. The difficulty lies in obtaining this item.

When it comes to late game the burst healing that this item can offer is second to none, however, there is only 1 copy of this item in every match you play.

What makes it good

Best Healing Item in the game
1000HP Regen
There is only 1 so no one else can have another

How to make it

Kill Wickelene and obtain it

So if you are in the lead usually you would not have to use this item as with the Wick buff and with generally higher weapon levels you would save this for an all-in fight. Of course, you must still respect the 1000 HP regen it provides as the next closest item recovers 740.

9. Tear of Selene

The moon isn't the only thing crying

Taking up the 9th slot is an item that is more common than the last and provides a massive SP regen it even gives you attack power which is a rare effect in Eternal Return on food and beverage.

This item can get your SP back to full in no time, however, it does pose the problem that normally you would never hit that low of an SP count even if you were constantly fighting because you would have been drinking other beverages to give you that SP you need.

What makes it good

Gives a stat buff of +10 Atk
Heals 1080 SP
Highest SP regen in the game
Will get your SP to fighting levels in a few seconds

How to make it

Gather stones from any location
Water can be found from Starting inventory, Pond, Hotel, Cemetery, or Forest
Meteorite can be found from random drops, blue boxes, and Wolves and Bears over level 14

So with the exuberant cost of a meteorite, it is an item that is hard to make, and if you do get a meteorite why not craft it into a permanent item? Of course, if you are full build and using it to deny the item from others then this is still nothing to scoff at.

8. Holy Water

Water with the Hell boiled out of it.

Aside from being an essential item to Johan, this item is the other stat-giving item in the game. It is much simpler to make compared to the previous however it does come with the drawback of an even rarer material, Mithril.

Usage wise this item is best for denying Mithril, on Johans for their passive, and for a quick burst of healing while in a brawl with other players. While it may seem deceptively simple to make there are many other things that Mithril can be used for, as well as the late spawning time of Mithril making it difficult to get yet wanted by many.

What makes it good

Gives a stat buff of +10 Def
Heals 750 HP Regen
Keeps you alive longer with the combination of healing and buff
Also good to use in preparation since the defense buff lasts for a while.

How to make it

Water can be found from Starting inventory, Pond, Hotel, Cemetery, or Forest
Mithril can be found from Alpha, Wiickeline, Bears, and Wolves over level 14

So due to the first Mithril spawning on Alpha, it becomes hard to get a hold of one, and there are even games where you will never see one because it has been crafted into a permanent item. However, no one can deny that putting this on a tank makes them that much more effective.

7. Iced Coffee

Perfect for those hot days on Lumia island.

What puts this drink higher up on this list is the ease of access paired with the relatively high SP regen this item provides. It also is commonly found in the locations that caster type characters and skill scaling characters tend to go through to find their gear.

While it is an uncommon item, meaning the crafting exp it gives is low, the item is created exceptionally fast and can be found along the way. The only drawback is that if you are aiming to craft this in the late game, it is almost impossible to find as Ice is commonly used by most casters for their extension item.

What makes it good

Both items have 1 spawn location they share and 2 others they don’t
Restores 380SP
When crafted comes with 2 charges
The lower-ranked you are the more likely these items are untouched
It will sustain you for the early game

How to make it

Ice is found in Hospital, Hotel, and Cemetery
Coffee is found in Uptown, Dock, and Cemetery

Overall this is a good early game item to make if you are moving through the cemetery as your first to the third zone. If you need to use ice for crafting this is, even more, better since ice is found in 2s meaning one can be used for your item and the other for this drink.

6. Soju

Just a little sip won't hurt.

Moving on to SP regen this does not apply to every character as some naturally regen faster and use less as they go along their predetermined routes. Of course this means that for casters and high usage characters this item would be a godsend in terms of ease of access and can be made into a healing item if the situation demands it.

Made from Alcohol and Water, this item only takes a few seconds to craft and gives enough SP regen that you can focus on gathering rather than having to sit down and recover SP that way. Most characters even pass through zones with Alcohol in it so if you need a drink pick this item up.

What makes it good

Most characters that need SP regen spawn in zones with Alcohol
Restores 400SP
When crafted it comes with 2 charges
Alcohol is less used than other materials

How to make it

Alcohol is found in Hospital, Factory, and School
Water can be found from Starting inventory, Pond, Hotel, Cemetery, or Forest

With how often characters spawn in Hospital or School this item is easy to make if you remember it and if you find 2 alcohols all 4 Soju can stack only taking up 1 slot instead of 2 for inventory space.

5. Oriental Concoction

Secret Mixtures and Tonics for All.

Secret Medicine and herbal spices this healing item falls into the rare category but is quite easy to make and is usually accessible by anyone keeping an eye out for it. It has a good HP regen for the early game and can carry you to stronger items mid game while you fight both animals and other players.

This item is crafted from oriental herbs, water, and a lighter. Now Lighters are one of the most sought-after items in the game, mostly due to how many food combinations are made from lighters. So if you are starting in a zone with a lighter such as Factory, Alley, or School make sure to pick up a few of these along the way.

What makes it good

Lighters are found in bulk around starting spawn locations or second zones for most characters.
Restores 525 HP
Comes with 3 charges
Denying lighters prevents other players from cooking and making higher tier equipment
Most ignore Oriental Herbs early on so they are usually abundant in Forest and Temple.

How to make it

Lighters can be found from Dock, Factory, Alley or School.
Water can be found from Starting inventory, Pond, Hotel, Cemetery, or Forest
Oriental Herbs can be found from Forest, Pond or Temple

In total that is a 525 HP Regen item that is simple to make and usually found along the way. Can be used thrice before running out and can be used in the later stages of the game as the regen it provides is sizable.

4. Baked Carp

Cooked? Grilled? it's all the same when eaten.

This item makes it on the list over its Seaside brother because it restores a little more HP while being virtually the same item. Fish and stones are a never ending resource so long as the game goes on long enough and lighters can be gathered early on.

While this item may seem bad because you must drop everything to fish up Carp; if you look at the mid to late game you are most likely going to be pushed inland meaning that rather than waiting for something to happen you can fish and cook these instead.

What makes it good

Can always be made at any point in the game
Heals 525 HP regen
Comes with 3 charges
The crafting recipe essentially allows you to make this item twice so 6 charges

How to make it

Carp are caught in Forest, Pond, and Cemetery
Stones are gathered from any location
Lighters can be found from Dock, Factory, Alley, or School.
Heated Stones can drop from green boxes, Bears, and Wolves at all levels.

From early game to late game you can always attempt to create this item as animals also drop the completed heated stone required to cook the fish, so long as the zone is not closed you can always fish up more food to cook for yourself.

3. White Russian

Milk? I've got the next best thing.

Coffee, Alcohol, and Milk make for a good time. Even in Eternal Return, this drink allows you to regen SP fast enough to keep with a full-on fight for that little bit of time needed to secure a kill.

While these items are not necessarily next to each other, they can be collected along the way when walking from one zone to another. The SP regen is massive and it gives a good chunk of crafting exp as it is a rare item.

What makes it good

Meant for late game but can be collected early
Restores 750 SP
Comes with 4 Charges
Its components Coffee Liqueur and Milk comes in 2 charges each so you could make 8 white russians, but the maximum capacity is 6

How to make it

Coffee is found in Uptown, Dock, and Cemetery
Alcohol is found in Hospital, Factory, and School
Milk is found in Chapel, Avenue, and Hospital
Coffee Liqueur can be found in green boxes.

What makes this item placed so high is that its SP regen paired with the common materials used to create this makes it a low investment high reward item that can be found and crafted at any point in the game so long as you keep moving and playing the game.

2. Fried Chicken

Still Finger Lickin Good

This item is easy to make so long as you keep on hunting and powering yourself up in the game. Because of its ease of accessibility, most players would tend to have the materials in their inventories or pick them up right from the start so you either have to do the same or kill players who are weaker than you to get these items.

This item has a great payout when it is crafted, it can even be cooked straight from the Bear’s inventory if you are lucky, saving you precious inventory space. While not the highest healing in the game it stands over its heated stone counterpart Steak due to the additional health regen it can provide.

What makes it good

Easy to craft, and others will also likely have either the heated oil or fried chicken.
Heals 550HP Regen
Comes with 2 charges when cooked
Meat is easily gathered so you can make more chicken.
550 is just at the threshold of being able to sustain most people in a fight.

How to make it

Lighters can be found from Dock, Factory, Alley or School.
Oil can be found from Archery Range, Factory, Uptown, and Avenue
Meat can be gathered from Boars, Wolves, Bears, and Chickens.
Heated oil can drop from Bears, Wolves, and green boxes.

With how often you have to hunt animals you could get lucky and chance on heated oil to make this craft easier to accomplish, along with the meat that comes from those animals its practically served to you on a silver platter.

1. Choco Pie Box

A little Chocolate goes a long way

This item is easy to make and gives a good amount of healing at the same time. It has a quick crafting time as a rare item and more HP Regen than most of the other items in the same category. Of course it has its own drawbacks being its relatively difficult to collect materials and distance between collection points.

Made from Bread, Chocolate, and a Box this item starts out with you already 1/3rd of the way there. So long as you are able to keep your bread and make your way to some chocolate you can make chocobread which can heal in an emergency but combined with a neat little box and you’ve got yourself one of the best healing items in the game.

What makes it good

Items are easy to collect early and are found next to each other
Heals 622HP regen
Comes with 2 charges when cooked
Ingredients are not often picked up due to their lack of options

How to make it

Bread is found in the Starting Inventory, Hospital, and School
Chocolate is found in Uptown, Avenue, and Archery Range
Box is found in Dock, Pond, and Chapel

This item is deceptively easy to make as collecting the ingredients is as simple as moving to the next zone rather than having to teleport across the map. It has good HP regen and comes with 2 charges which puts it at the top of my list.

Of course, this is just my opinion based on personal experience. If you have a different top 10 or want to talk about why certain items may or may not be on this list then please feel free to do so.

[Top 15] Best Anime Games To Play Right Now

Marxxxist — Thu, 26 Aug 2021 04:53:22 +0000

If you like anime and video games, you’ve come to the right place. There are so many titles for both genres, you may be thinking, what would be the best of both worlds combined? Whether based on anime or anime art-styled, here are some of the Top 15 Anime Games in the World.

15. Jump Force

It’s a no-brainer that this would make it on the list for any anime fan. The hit and run, smash and button mash game is a great free for all for many anime fans. With the inclusion of so many Shonen Jump anime characters to choose from in this anime fighting mosh pit, fans will enjoy pitting characters from different anime and manga series together in the Super Smash Brothers-esque title. Where else would you be able to see Goku vs. Luffy?

14. Azur Lane

Azur Lane is a popular mobile game based on an alternate timeline of World War II. The game was deemed as a “clone” to its Japanese cousin, Kantai Collection, but has arguably surpassed it. Azur Lane is known for its interesting character dynamics and how each character is up in arms based on navy battleships. It’s definitely a notable anime series for mobile players that is entertaining to play on the go.

13. .hack//G.U. Last Recode

The .hack//G.U. Last Recode is a remastered collection of the .hack//G.U franchise that includes all previous title games: Rebirth, Reminiscence, and Redemption, along with an exclusive: .hack//G.U Reconnection. If you’re unfamiliar with .hack//G.U, the series follows Haseo, a character who is on the search for the murderer of his best friend in an MMORPG setting. The player (you) plays along as another character in virtual reality. .hack//G.U Last Recode being a remastered edition brings life to the old graphics of the game from its initial years and has fans of the .hack// anime series raving for more.

12. Ni no Kuni Series

The Ni no Kuni Series is an intriguing series that includes many hours of gameplay with its beautiful 2D anime art style directed by Yoshiyuki Mimose of Studio Ghibli. One of the most notable tites, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch presents a lighthearted story with emotional aspects that has players enjoy it even more.

11. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Series

This series is a must for those that enjoy non-fighting style games. The characters are hilariously depicted in the courtroom setting with a fast paced and intriguing story that grabs player's attention. The series is known for its crime investigations and character interactions, as well as their memorable and quirky characters. There’s no “objection” that this would make it on the list.

10. Dragon Ball Z Fighters

Okay, but who does not like Dragon Ball Z? The Dragon Ball franchise is one of the biggest and baddest in anime. Dragon Ball Z fighters is arguably the best Dragon Ball game in the franchise thus far, taking place during the setting of Dragon Ball Super. The game style plays similarly to Marvel vs. Capcom, where players make teams of fighters to face off other teams. The 3v3 style and game dynamics gives players the hype on this game having the potential to become one of the next top fighting games to be played competitively.

9. Xenoblade Chronicles

Xenoblade Chronicles is an action RPG that involves playing in a real time action based battle system. There are several titles under the series: Chronicles, Chronicles X, Chronicles 2, Chronicles 2: Torna- The Golden Country, and Future Connected. Each game does not directly share their settings, and each has their own cast of characters, but each game is loosely connected to one another. What players really love about the game is its great storyline with enriching character casts that are deeply entertaining and get players even more invested into the series itself.

8. NieR: Automata

NieR: Automata is both renowned and underrated at the same time. The story takes place in a post apocalyptic setting between three different arcs based on three different characters that are combat androids, dare I not spoil anymore explaining further. The graphics and music of the game are both absolutely breathtaking on top of its unique storyline. Every part of the game from the character art, gameplay, to the side quests, are full of so much detail, it’s a no wonder that this game has received crazy high reviews across the board.

7. Kingdom Hearts

Ah yes, Final Fantasy meets Disney, two loves in one. The Kingdom Hearts franchise is a series loved by so many. With the many installments across several consoles, the game is accessible to many but nothing beats the main PlayStation storyline. Playing as Sora, a child destined Keyblade Warrior, you travel through many “Disney Worlds” in search of his friends, meeting casts of Disney and Final Fantasy characters along the way. Although the game does have a cliché yet endearing story of friendship, it touches the “hearts” of many players along with its beautifully orchestrated music, it truly is “Dearly Beloved.”

6. Fire Emblem

If you enjoy strategy games, Fire Emblem is a series you must absolutely try. Since its two Japanese speaking fighters debuted in Super Smash Bros: Melee, the game has grown immensely. With many titles to choose from, it can be overbearing to decide what to play first. The games typically include a war like setting where players must strategize where to place their warriors on the map, taking note of character stats in order to become victorious. The games come with little quirks with character support systems, cooking events, and even a dating simulator. Yes, a dating simulation in an anime like war game. Fans enjoy choosing their waifus or husbandos. If you’re into that I would check it out, especially in the popular latest installment of the series, Fire Emblem: Three Houses for the Nintendo Switch.

5. Tales Series

One of my favorite anime styled games, The Tales Series. There are several titles for the Tales Series, I grew up playing Tales of Symphonia and spent thousands of hours on replays. The characters throughout the different titles are all so unique in their own ways. The games do a wonderful job in displaying a motley crew in every storyline and how they get along together and with their interactive character dialogue, making you feel like you’re also part of the team. While Tales of Symphonia is my favorite of the franchise, notable titles also include Tales of Vesperia, and Tales of the Abyss, both which run amazing storylines and voice acting on top of that. The series is one I would personally recommend to players hands down.

4. Final Fantasy

If you have never heard of Final Fantasy, I do not know what to tell you. This series is one of the biggest in the RPG world along with its numeric titles. One of the most renowned titles being Final Fantasy VII, with its latest remake in 2020. The games all feature their own universe of characters in their own unique settings, and turn based battle systems. The music is immaculate, and really digs into emotions, well, depending which title you play. (I’m looking at you Final Fantasy XIII…). In all honesty, they are all great games worth playing and with many titles, we may never, ever truly witness a final, Final Fantasy.

3. Persona

Persona, previously known as Shin Megami Tensei: Persona, is a widely popular anime styled RPG that gets players going. The game is known for its quirky humor and dialogue among multidimensional characters, as well as its strong urban fantasy storyline. The series has catchy songs and music video-like openings, on top of its inclusion of pop culture references and easter eggs, that always put a smile to my face. The four person turn based battles are usually a gameplay of the old ages, but Persona keeps it all fresh in check for players of this generation.

2. Genshin Impact

Becoming increasingly popular, Genshin Impact is on the rise on many players’ lists. Genshin Impact is an open fantasy world RPG that allows players to switch characters during gameplay. The game is breathtakingly beautiful from its detailed anime characters to its gorgeous environmental scenery in the open world, basing elements off of real world cultures. The story follows a set of twins that visit different worlds in the realm of Teyvat, however, the two twins get separated. One is sealed away and is deemed under the title as the “Traveler,” who later awakens and embarks on a mission to seek their missing twin. Aside from the game's storyline, its side quests, cooking, alchemy, and character designs are all assets in making the game engaging for players. Best of all, the game is free!

1. Pokemon

You know it, we all know it, we have probably all played it sometime in our lives, it’s here, it’s there, it’s everywhere. POKEMON. Arguably the most well known game franchise, if not, at least one of the most known, Pokemon is a series played by many. From the handheld days of Pokemon Red and Blue to portable, mobile Pokemon Go and the new MOBA Pokemon Unite, which is basically League of Legends but you can main a Pikachu. The series is just so versatile, it really can be for everyone. With so many styles of gameplay across different platforms, along with its own anime and card game, Pokemon is the top of the top on this list. The franchise has taken the world by storm, and will only continue to grow. It is truly a series loved by everyone. All I ask is when will Ash finally pay Misty back for her bike?

[Top 10] Sailor Moon Best Moments

Johnson92 — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 08:51:18 +0000

Hello, my fellow moonies, I am back again with another count down to the Top Best moments of Sailor Moon. Whether these scenes are a little dark or just outright out of place, we will come to understand how they made it to the spot they did. When you run out of cookies, you may have a back-up stash of cookies, but when you run out of episodes in a season, well, that is it. What makes this almost ideal is that our writers and artists have found ways to provide more information, or they are a distraction for us till we can get back to the main story.

When these moments are created, they are connected to the story in very few ways; it leaves room for so much more imagination and pure distraction. Using the manga version as our template because I want to stay as accurate to the story as possible and indulge in the parts we have come to know as Sailor Moon(There are some off the wall moments ). When it comes to different arcs or even the translation to another language, there have always been changes.

10. Mamoru meeting Fiore

Sailor Moon Mamoru meeting Fiore

If you watch enough anime, then you will understand the purpose of "filler." Now, if you're someone like me who loves a good story and getting down and dirty into a character's psyche and background, devoting three or even as many as ten or more episodes to a role. When an event or maybe even something completely unrelated occurs, it can be quite enjoyable. Unless you are like most people who hit the action button during a video game short, these portions of a series can be confusing, enriching, or just dull are used by writers to keep writing while entertaining the audience. That is what's so great about Fiore meeting Mamoru, even if you didn't know about the alien race in the first arc, you get a peek of their likeness from Fiore. A sense of what creatures they are, the Xenian blossom using Fiore as her host showing the secure connection with plants this race seems to have, maybe.

What makes Mamoru meeting Fiore a top moment

We get to see Usagi give Mamoru a rose which was given to Fiore as a token of their friendship before Fiore left.
Since Fiore only shares a few qualities with our previous characters, Ali and An, he is an excellent addition to the filler episode, especially if you didn't know that.
Filler or not, it did give us more context for our characters Usagi and Mamoru, even if our other characters were not that present, we still got full-on some power worth teamwork.

9. Sailor Venus: Minako's Tragic Love.

Sailor Moon Minako's Tragic love

These three episodes I found were events that were unaired for a few reasons, and they weren't filler episodes. Before Sailor Venus, became part of a team, she was Sailor V complete with her own action figure, only this was all so she could be a team member and find the Princess or be the Princess. During this time she befriends a cop who knows her identity, she then introduces this lady to her older boy crush, and when things get cooking during a mission, her friend uses that moment to move in. The friend returns to find Sailor V unharmed, and she may be working for the wrong side. This love triangle, older guys, and hand grenades just may have been too touchy of a subject to have.

What makes Minako's tragic love a top moment

Even though the 90s are after the 80s, which was still pushing free love, Sailor Moon pushed the envelope, with Minako being a younger girl fighting crime by herself, falling for older men, she was just like a regular comic book hero just trying to live. Her maturity to be a leader and also a teenage girl just looking for love.
We may miss some vital information about Sailor Venus's character because she was involved in things; not young teenage girls would be doing, again we bypass her maturity level.
It is a double edge sword when you want real-life emotion and events in a show when not everyone may be on the same page.

8. Act 39 Dream 1 – Eclipse Dream

Sailor Moon Act 39

In this scene, we meet a trio of characters called the Amazon Trio, sent by the Amazoness Quartet to destroy the Sailor Guardians. The Quartet used animals as their concubines, and in this case, a fish Summed by PallaPalla, the fish sits and waits for our girl Ami because, of course, he looks like a fish from an old memory. While vulnerable and missing her dad, he turns into a human trying to convince her to be with him, and that he will make her happy always, But our girl is smarter than that.

What makes Act 39 Dream 1 a top moment

What I have always liked about anime stories is that they seemed so accepting of gender bender roles, Fisheye was rewritten as a woman when created for the anime. in Reality, she was a man who liked dressing in women's clothing.`
We get to witness Ami take down an opponent by herself, mostly. But it does show that Ami is more than just brains, and it happens more than once.

7. Meeting the Starlights

Sailor Moon Meeting the Starlights

Entering our fifth season or fifth arc to the story, we meet the Sailor Starlights, women disguised as male pop-stars, the Three Lights. They traveled to earth in search of their Princess Kakyuu when their planet was destroyed by an evil Sailor Galaxia. What is disheartening is not only is this the final arc, we meet new characters we haven't thoroughly met. Also, most of these episodes were changed drastically or entirely cut out, so you didn't get the full end of the series if you watched the English translation. All around, it was hacked up, or too short and too many questions.

What makes meeting the Starlights a top moment

In the manga, they were women disguised as male pop-stars to be less conspicuous, but in the anime, their season was chopped and screwed. They became physical men during the day and turned into women to fight crime (ouch).
In the musical, they elaborated on the relationship between Usagi and Saiya, who had fallen for Usagi. Chibi- Chibi carried the Princess inside the incense burner she had.

6. Sailor Moon and the Sailor Soldiers death

Sailor Moon and the Sailor Soldiers Death

If you made it to the end of the first arc, you might have realized some weird things happening in the scenes. Maybe characters saying questionable things that sound like they are gone forever? Or perhaps they just disappear altogether. As a child, you probably didn't catch it, but if you watch it now, you will notice that the Sailor Soldiers die, more than once actually. Considering this was a series geared towards young girls, sacrificing themselves for young love or even their friends must've still been a very touchy subject. It's more like a Batman count out; they are out so much to the point you question they are alive. This made it higher on the list coupled with emotional tragedy and learning they have died multiple times, this moment they recount things they had not done yet as young teenage girls, something we may take for granted now. That alone is enough for a character progression.

What makes the Sailor Moon and the Sailor Senshi death important

In the anime, the characters appear to disappear on the screen, but speak to Usagi and give her uplifting hope and encouragement, that she carries with her time and time again.
After this second reincarnation (Queen Serenity sent them to Earth when Queen Beryl destroyed the moon kingdom), Usagi was the only one who retained her memories.
Originally this was the ending, but since it was loved so much, that is when we got filler movies and episodes to keep the story going for the next seasons.

5. Mamoru being captured by Queen Nehelenia

Sailor Moon Mamoru captured by Queen Nehelenia

To keep this story all about the girl power, Mamoru Chiba had to take one for the team and be our damsel in distress. During the Dark kingdom arc or the first arc, Mamoru is kidnapped by Queen Nellenia, who is essentially the dark opposite of Queen Serenity; different times and such but still a princess of the moon. At one point she was sealed inside a mirror for a very long time, she cast a spell on the moon kingdom and later broke out of the mirror. She set her eyes on Mamoru after a slow brainwashing(nothing our stud can't handle) before Sailor moon, and the Sailor Soldiers could defeat her and save Mamoru.

What makes Mamoru being captured a top moment

He is very supportive of his girlfriend/future wife when it came to saving the world and standing by her side. He shows no hard feelings about being saved by his lady.
It showed that not only men could be the hero, but a woman also could. Even if that woman has a supersonic cry amplified by her dumpling bun jewelry, even a cry baby can.

4.Meeting Sailor Pluto

Sailor Moon meeting Sailor Pluto

Meeting Sailor Pluto in the Second and Third arc of the story is a severe pivotal moment. When we first meet Sailor Pluto, she is watching the door to Space-Time; ever since she was a child, that has been her duty as an outer rim Sailor Soldier. During this time, the Princess and Prince of the 30th century are/was in a fierce battle that has rendered them almost entirely helpless; they are like knocked out but in a crystal sleeping chamber together? Convenient. Having Sailor Chibi Chibi go back into time to save her time would have been perfect, if Sailor Pluto hadn't given her life to save Sailor Chibi Chibi. Sailor Pluto; according to the writer, it was challenging to make a "darker-skinned" person in the manga due to pictures lighting issues, she was reimaged in the same skin tone as the other girls.

What makes Meeting Sailor pluto a top moment

What makes a moment like this so exciting is because, like having same-sex couples, it was just way ahead of its time, women superheroes, dark-skinned characters, and problems with girls being tom-boys, 90s problems.
It is one of those characteristics that you wouldn't think is very important, but again it is those small details that really make a character who they are.

3.. The cockroach scene

Sailor Moon the Cockroach scene

What I love most about this scene is you almost have the whole gang out and about doing something other than fighting crime. Japenese anime tend to have what is called "slice of life," anime it is a type of storyline genre the story follows. Mostly these girls lived in a magical world with no ties to even do homework, according to Usagi. In this scene, you see the Sailor Guardians of the inner circle trying to cook for the Sailor Starfighters when a cockroach appears. What makes this scene so funny is the fact that Sailor Chibi Chibi is in the other room the whole time more interested in the TV. She isn't afraid of cockroaches.

What makes the Cockroach scene a top moment

It gives off the slice of life routine, and for a moment we remember these girls are in high school and have died multiple times already, they just want to have fun.
If you get to watch this far into the series, then you also get a little more background on the Sailor Starfighters since they were short-lived and semi-important characters by the time we get to meet them.

2. Usagi's Sacrifice

Sailor Moon Usagi's sacrifice

We are going to use the same moment but now from Usagi's perspective. There is still another time when Usagi lays her life on the line to save others, but this will the "first time" she gets to do that. The first time she will defend her friends completely and show them she won't let them die in vain. While the girls have "sacrificed" themselves to fend off the other enemies, Usagi was able to defeat Queen e end because they did. With her final blow, Usagi also wished for things to return to normal, which resets our chapter for the upcoming arc.

What makes Usagi's sacrifice a top moment

You get to see the kinship between Rei and Usagi; even if they fight and bicker, it is all good love.
Usagi actually brings everyone back to life with her final wish reincarnating everyone back on earth, a total tear-jerker.

1.The first arc, team sacrifice

Sailor Moon the team sacrifice

The purpose of the Sailor Soldiers is to protect the Queen and the Kingdom in the manga Usagi was not to be a Scout, but you know how that is, t; WonderWoman. In this scene, we get to see the girls really drive home: they are the protects of their Princess and remember their duty, but also, we get to see high school girls lay down their lives for a friend. In the ending of the first arc, Queen Beryl uses Prince Endymion's reincarnated foot-soldiers to lure the Sailor Soldiers to them. The Soldiers chase them to the Moon Kingdom, where they discover the previous war had destroyed their home. I placed the girls at the top because how can you have such amazing friends that when you couldn't save the world, you can wake them up to help with no fuss. Even as young as they were, they understood their duty to their Princess, and even in death, they still told her to keep fighting.

What makes the team's sacrifice a top moment

The girls, of course, have a new found love of love when you don't get to kiss the boy you wanted to or do the things you wanted to do before you pass on.
They show no matter how annoying or childish your friend may be, the bonds will be everlasting. This stand-down was all about girl power and self-resilience; they never give up.

[Top 10] Sailor Moon Best Characters

Johnson92 — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 07:32:50 +0000

Hello my fellow anime nerds, today we are diving into the vast cosmic world of Sailor Moon. We will look at what makes these characters awesome, based on the manga's original written series. Whether we are looking at their brains, strength, or heart, they all grow into semi-mature soldiers.

All characters are important whether they are a lasting character or a two-second laugh because each character interacts with each other in a special way. Sometimes moving our characters in different directions for story progression or even trying to turn them to the Dark Side. We do so a few characters let the darkness overcome in their hearts, almost all realize what is happening but some too late. When Naoko began the series it started with Sailor Venus, and over night she created this whole cast full of life, death, and rebuilding. Although I would have loved to see an expansion on many of our characters, we take the tasty morsels we can get.

Some characters like Fior who were really just a filler piece really made a big impact on our main characters, with just one rose we were able to connect all characters to one point in time when they were just children. Even though Chibi Moon may be at the bottom, it doesn't mean she isn't important, she helped change the course of time, We see Small Lady at the bottom because simply right now is not her time to be a hero. She is the future.

10) Chibiusa Tsukino - Sailor Chibi Moon

Small Lady is the cutest, and a sour patch kid all rolled in one. She battles with her emotions towards her mother, but we get to see her overcome these. She also seems to hate being young so I am glad she could grow up.

While wondering the castle feeling like her parents lacked time to spend with her as a child, she finds the door to Space-Time meeting Sailor Pluto. Later, when her timeline is in despair, she travels back in time to seek help from the Sailor Soldiers and meets her mother. Only to find they are more alike than she thought. After repairing the relationship between herself and mother and successfully stopping the threat to her timeline, she hung around a bit before returning to grow into a great leader of the 30th century.

What makes Chibimoon awesome.

When born, she was named, "Usagi small lady chibi moon" after her mother.
Her name represents the "little rabbit of the moon."
At a very young age, she has shown that she can play with the big girls and grow just as fast, mentally, and physically.

9) Setsuna Meiou - Sailor Pluto

Arguably the oldest of the Sailor Senshi, she rides the line of being a "mom" to the Outer Senshi, and someone Small Lady can look up to and confide in, She definitely helped the girls in many ways.

Setsuna Meiou is our oldest Sailor soldier, so much so we know she has died once and resumed her post. As the guardian of Space-time, she meets Small lady when they both needed someone to listen to them. Their friendship grew and remains healthy. She also helped in nurturing young Saturn when she was reborn. She is also linked very closely with Sailor soldiers of the Outer Rim of the solar system.

What makes Setsuna awesome.

She is the only person who has probably met Usagi's birthmother.
Her name represents "Monetary Dark King" and "sorrowful."
In Japanese, her name's characters represent the planets name, "Nether king star."

8) Hotaru Tomoe - Sailor Saturn

Everyone loves a goth girl and who better than our girl who controls the Underworld. Even though she doesn't make a grand entrance, she leaves a lasting impression, even if everyone was afraid of her.

Hotaru Tomoe made a terrifying entrance. She was the only Sailor soldier everyone was afraid to meet because she was possessed by Mistress 9(and one other time also). Like Sailor Pluto, Sailor Saturn draws her powers from the underworld; where Usagi can create worlds, Sailor Saturn can destroy planets with one stroke. She has done it twice. She is considered one of the outer solar system guardians to help protect the external solar system.

What makes Hotaru awesome.

Her parents were scientists; she was saved from by her father when her mother caused an explosion taking her life.
Her name represents "firefly" and "sprouting from the earth," fireflies are associated with death in Japanese mythology.

7) Haruka Tenou – Sailor Uranus

With her calm reserve, Haruka seems like an enemy or a bad person. Secretive yet stunning like a snake. I feel she is a valuable character to the many she came in contact with.

Haruka Tenou, this lesbian blonde bombshell, would be our Ruby Rose of the crew with a mind for going fast, in her Ferrari F512M thanks to Takeuchi as inspiration. Haruka is the strong-silent type male and notably stronger, even a princess in her past life. During the English dubbing of the series, Haruka( also the trio of Sailor Starfighters) and Sailor Neptune were LGBTQ representatives. We even miss the fact that these two were a couple in the original manga. She is also one of the guardians of the outer solar system, helping protect everyone.

What makes Haruka awesome.

She and the creator share a love for the same kind of car.
She can be more mature about what needs to be done, regardless of the costs.
Her name represents "Distant sky King."

6) Michiru Kaiou – Sailor Neptune

Sailor Moon made being smart, cool. With two smart girls on our team, how could they contain all the talent and beauty? In Japanse culture, the smart girls were more liked.

Michiru Kaiou has all the beauty only shared with Haruka, and more brains to boot. So much so, she has no dislikes and no trouble with a single subject. Aiming to be a violinist one day, she is the only soldier to have awakened by herself. She is also part of the guardians consider for protecting the outer reaches of the solar system.

What makes Michiru awesome.

She is a more mature character who is blunt and ready to jump into action when she needs to.
Her Stradivarius violin is worth some five million dollars, and she uses it in her final attack.
Her name represents the "Rising sea King."

5) Minako Aino – Sailor Venus

She has the perfect girl-next-door thing going on, but she is so hardcore. Even though her defeating Queen Beryl wasn't a thing, her strength among the scouts and showing her leadership has always shown brightly.

Minako Aino was the character who began the Sailor Soldier, the first Sailor Soldier( of the inner circle) to have awakened. The last to join the team, Unbunoxed to the rest of the girls her act of being Sailor V, was a ploy to lure everyone. Like Usagi, Sailor Venus has some extra study sessions she has to catch up on, although seeming still smarter, is supposed to be a double for the Princess Serenity.

What makes Minako awesome.

She is the real leader of the team.
She had her series first.
Her name represents "Beautiful child of love" from the Chinese translation rather than the Japanese.

4) Rei Hino – Sailor Mars

The relationship between Rei, Usagi, and even the rest of the squad is all a little weird because she is so reserved, and at one point didn't even want to be on the team. Eventually, she grew and became one of the closes people to Usagi I believe.

Rei Hino was another character that had changed quite a lot; in the anime, you see Rei go boy crazy like everyone else except Usagi. When in reality, she had such a distaste for her father, she hated men. Yet every girl has a weakness; one man Kaido was able to tame those fires of mars. Later she witnessed him flirting with another woman, and her father was pruning him to take over the political business, which is why he was always around. Also, in the manga, Rei was a more stoic and goal-focused character. It took her a long time to accept her past life, the friendship, and even her previous duties. So much for a high priestess of training, am I right?

What makes Rei awesome.

She does not go to the same school as the Soldiers; she goes to a Roman Catholic school, which is why her uniform is different.
Superman and Batman are fans.
Her name represents "Ray of fire" or "Fire of Rei," mostly translated from Chinese like Sailor Venus.
She is second in command.

3) Makoto Kino – Sailor Jupiter

These two girls seemed a little closer than the other scouts. I feel like these two girls really strive for the older look and it looks great. Two super-powered businesswomen for sure, Sailor Jupiter does well with her long legs and high waisted suit pants. ( Pictured: Sailor Venus on the left, Sailor Jupiter on the right)

Makoto Kino was a character not fully developed from the Sailor V series, her first persona being a gang leader who smoked to a callous girl-next-door type. She finds herself very high on the list because, like Rei, she needed friendship after her parents had perished in a plane crash. Once she tried confessing her love to a boy, and he rejected her because she was too tall. Makoto brought a new light to beauty. The beast was a beautiful redhead who could kick butt—like Sailor Neptune had the brains to go along with her fabulous home, self-taught cooking. Growing from such a dark place and meeting girls who she can call family and friends, and in turn, everyone gets to eat.

What makes Makoto so awesome.

Could be evenly matched with Haruka in strength.
Both times when she was supposed to make her big debut first, she appears in the background on the train, then she is seen walking outside the "Masquerade Dance party" in the rain."
Her name represents "Trust" or "Sincerity" in Japanese, originally her name was to describe "guard/protect," but then her name would have been "Mamoru." Kino translates to "wood field" or "tree field."

2) Ami Mizuno – Sailor Mercury

She has always been our book worm, but never as outgoing as Michiru, it took her meeting Usagi to bust out of her shell. With that little tap on her shell, she single-handedly moved her friend emotionally. What progress.

Ami Mizuno is the brains of the operation when it comes to defending the team, helping strategize a plan, or even helping everyone study for the high school exams. At genius-level intelligence and an outcast made her natural bait for Usagi to show her how to have fun and help her make friends. Her character did not exist until later, and she morphed from a different character who looked similar to her. Like Rei and Makoto, her mother was not very present, and her father not mentioned. So when Ami became part of the team, you could see her change in confidence sore, no longer a shy snob as most people thought.

What makes Ami awesome.

She is really into pop culture and was part of the Three Lights fan club.
She was supposed to be a cyborg.
Her name represents "Asia," "rank next," "come after," and even "beauty," which is translated to "Asian beauty" or "Second Beauty." The rest of her name represents "water fields," "Plains," or "civilian water life" translated into "of the water."

1) Usagi Tsukino – Sailor Moon

The girl who holds the many languages of love, the girl who can talk to anyone, and be friends with anyone. The girl whos got all the great qualities to bring everyone together and make them stick like glue.

Usagi Tsukino is forever known as the crybaby hero, but without watching the series or reading the manga, you could not see how much she grows as a character. She is ruling even though she never passed the "How to be a queen exam" and even saved her life, Mamoru. Even if he is a prince, she has saved him more times than anyone. She has also shown us that being the lead is hard. Between sleeping in class and being the youngest Sailor soldier of your friends on top of making sure she doesn't ruin the future, I would say her hands are pretty full.

What makes Usagi awesome.

Her name is a pun; it references an old folklore tale about a rabbit who lives on the moon making mochi. Her name represents "Rabbit of the moon."
She does the most growth through the entire series, but couldn't have done it without her friend's help.
Initially, her hair was supposed to turn pink or silver during her transformation. Instead, it stayed blonde and turns silver when she is Neo-Queen Serenity. At least she got some of what she wanted.

9.DRAGONBALL FIGHTERZ

Insane combos in Dragonball FighterZ

Charge up your KI and fly into battle because it's time to fight! Dragonball FighterZ is a 2D fighting game with all your classic Dragonball characters. Yes, even Yamcha is in this one. Don't expect the typical story arcs to be told in this game however. This original story is about clones of the original Z-fighters raising hell on the planet. This is the part where the Goku and friends come in to save the day right? Not this time, a mysterious energy left everyone too weak to fight these clones. That's where you come in as a soul and take over each body to fight off these clones and find out why this is happening. The most interesting part of this story mode is that you can follow it in three different arcs. The Super Warriors arc, the Enemy Warrior arc, and Android 21 arc and each ends with a different conclusion. The fights are intense you'll be lost in the moment as your screen is filled with beams of colorful energies as you face off in matches of 3v3.

7. DOKI DOKI LITERATURE CLUB

Doki Doki Literature Club gameplay

Doki Doki isn't your average visual novel dating sim. There is a reason why one of the tags on steam is psychological horror. I don't want to tell you too much about this game but safe to say, it caught me by surprise. You play as the protagonist and in the beginning you join the Doki Doki Literature Club with these four other girls, Sayori, Monika, Yuri, and Natsuki. At first, you would play it as your typical dating sim but this is where things begin to get really disturbing. Glitches start appearing and things aren't really the same after act 1. The best thing about this game is how deep the lore goes and how the characters have different sides to them. You have different dialogue options like your typical dating sim but be careful what you say and do because the consequences could be dire. If you want to get your heart beating a few ticks faster then I would recommend playing this game.

Go on, take her hand, I'm sure nothing will happen.

The gang's all here!

Awe Monika!

6. FINAL FANTASY XV

Final Fantasy XV follows the story of Noctis and his royal guards/brothers in arms to reclaim the kingdom that was taken by the Niflheim. Prompto, Ignis, and Gladiolus are simply amazing. They aren't just simple NPCs that help you win the fight. They are fleshed out characters with different motivations and you can explore that with them.

Jump Force Release Date, Gameplay, Trailers, Story, News

bbrush88 — Tue, 07 Aug 2018 02:16:32 +0000

Shonen Jump, the weekly manga anthology, is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary this year. Even if you're not an "anime person" and don’t recognize the name of the magazine, you’ll almost certainly recognize some of the series that have come out of it. Titles like Dragonball, Death Note, and Naruto all found their start in the long-running weekly magazine. Pulling from this storied history, with heroes like Goku and Naruto, Jump Force is set to bring together the biggest stars in anime.

Many details are yet to be revealed, but with what we know Jump Force is shaping up to be a dream collaboration for fans. With developments still coming out about the game, we’ve collected up all the details on Bandai Namco’s star-studded brawler.

What is Jump Force?

Jump Force - Goku, Luffy, and Naruto promotional art - Old experts on cataclysmic threats.

Coinciding with Weekly Jump Magazine’s anniversary, Bandai Namco has announced its latest action title: Jump Force. The upcoming fighter sees the worlds of Dragonball, One Piece, Naruto, and many more colliding with ours. Along with their lands encroaching into real-world locations such as New York, Hong Kong, and the Matterhorn, heroes and villains are taking their battles on our plane. As old (and new) enemies face off around the world an all-powerful threat looms to threaten all realities.

Shonen Jump is no stranger to having its characters get the fighting game treatment and developer Spike Chunsoft has utilized their properties in an ensemble fighting game before. What separates Jump Force from the other titles featuring a mash-up of Shonen Jump’s heroes is rather than recreating scenes from their manga the fight is taken to real-world Earth. With their new backdrop has come some aesthetic changes toning down cartoonish aspects and striving for a style closer to realism. Small changes such as Luffy’s formerly cloth shirt now having more of a leathery texture or Goku’s training Gi being made of a coarse material help the characters to pop while maintaining the integrity of their original design.

Jump Force Release Date

The reveal trailer premiered recently at E3 2018. Many details are yet to be announced as only a handful of characters have been revealed. The game is currently slated for a 2019 release on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Jump Force Gameplay

Jump Force’s Gameplay Mash-Up - See a portion of the cast in action

Jump Force will be a fighting-action game with more emphasis on pick-up-and-play controls. The game will not rely on complicated control stick inputs like other fighters such as Street Fighter or Tekken, instead it will use a more simplified system for accessibility. Producer Koji Nakajima has said that the goal of the game was as a celebration of Shonen Jump’s 50th anniversary and as such making it playable by fans of all skill levels was a high priority.

The biggest focus though seems to be on the story mode, unraveling why the Shonen Jump worlds have come to collide with ours. But with a storied catalogue to pull from, Jump Force promises to bring a sizable cast for fans to pit against each other in dream match-ups. The full breadth of game modes has not been announced yet, online multiplayer is expected to ship with the game.

It might seem like a tall order having enhanced humans fight powerful aliens like Goku and Frieza, but balance has been the first consideration with all characters. Each character was built from a blueprint of functionality, then designed and refined to represent what made fans love about the respective characters. Part of this representation is through the Awakening system, acting like a revenge meter it builds as you take damage from your opponent. When you activate Awakening your character will become more powerful, or in the case of some characters, completely transform into their advanced form.

Super Saiyan Goku - Transformations will be a big part of the characters

Before the start of a match players will form their team of three fighters and select their location. Matches are more focused on being fast and furious with big damage and flashy super moves than on technical defensive options. To this end of quicker matches, your team shares one health meter, so unlike other tag fighters like Dragonball FighterZ losing a character doesn’t mean bringing in the next, it brings the end of the match.

Jump Force Trailers

Jump Force’s Announce Trailer - Bask in the care put in to the characters’ design.

The only trailer released so far has been with the announcement at E3. The trailer opens with a narratation explaining that all Shonen Jump worlds have existed independently, unaware of and not interacting with each other, until mysteriously they all collided with our world. As we see teases of the three respective heroes of Naruto, One Piece, and Dragon Ball Z, we’re also introduced to Frieza who is, in a gross display of evil joy, slicing through and collapsing the buildings surrounding him.

Frieza is caught off guard by Naruto watching him from up high who uses his Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to duplicate himself and charge down towards the scene of the destruction. Luffy is also seen excitedly swinging in while Goku transforms into his Super Saiyan form for a fight with his old foe.

We see some gameplay as Luffy punches Frieza, transforming into his Fourth Gear form and pummeling him into the ground. Naruto then strikes at Frieza before transforming into Sage mode with the Kurama link. A Super Saiyan Goku kicks Frieza back and forth through the air before charging and launching a Kamehameha.

The trailer reverts to prerendered footage as the three heroes gear up for a strike in unison. We see the Jump Force logo with a design suggesting colliding worlds in the background. Before the trailer closes the camera pans to Death Note’s Light and Ryuk observing the destruction below.

Jump Force Developer

Jump Force is being developed by the 30-year veteran development studio Spike Chunsoft. Spike Chunsoft is well known for making beloved Japanese series such as Dragon Quest, Mystery Dungeon, and Danganronpa. The developer is well known for its character-driven games, so fans should expect their favorite characters to be represented with a lot of care and love. The studio has a pedigree of combining Shonen Jump heroes in a fighting game with 2015’s J-Stars Victory VS.

Spike Chunsoft has about 200 employees but it hasn’t been confirmed how much of the studio is devoted to development. Producer Koji Nakajima has worked on several One Piece and Dragon Ball titles previously. He has stated that there wasn’t any collaboration with the original authors of the series, but the current publishers of the manga have been involved throughout the development.

Jump Force News

Since its announcement recently at E3 new characters have already been announced for Jump Force. The soul reapers of Bleach, Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, and Sosuke Aizen will be joining the fray. While we only have screenshots of their gameplay, with the strength to protect earth from evil spirits they should have no problem facing the full realm of Shonen Jump heroes.

While it has been teased that while there should be plenty of surprise announcements coming, it is confirmed that they won’t be stretching the definitions of fighters. As funny as it might have been, characters from titles like Prince of Tennis unfortunately likely won’t be coming to defend our planet from the greatest threats never been seen. It has also been confirmed that Death Note’s god of death Ryuk will be involved in the game, but only in story and not as a playable character for being too powerful to match the rest of the fighters.
