its all a dance of numbers, ain't it? you were NOT kidding when you talked about how hard it was to get a card ranked to 80, especially if it was a 5*. you gotta (as the kids say) 'lock in' if you're gonna commit to it. very good idea to find vids with numbers for specific orbit fights as comparison, that really might be something to start a thread on and grab screenshots for reference. i will add that to the pile of things i am currently not doing because i am schlepping through my game responsibilities at the moment.

crit vs dbtw - i remember! sometimes hard to incorporate when i'm picking my way through cores to build a fight team but little gains are still gains and i can already feel my knowledge base stretching and creaking.

imma take a break on core hunts for the nonce though because while i deal with numbers and spreadsheets all day long and i'm pretty darn fast at data input, sometimes your eyes just cross, yanno?

i'm going to work on getting Rafayel's purple cards for Abysswalker up into their 70s and tentatively push for 80 and then we'll go again on the cores!

i have a plan, laoshi, please be proud of me (i am so proud of me, you have no idea. the deeper i get into this, the more i both understand and the more i have to come back and re-read this thread to slot that knowledge into its proper place).
