Building myself a new team in Puzzle & Dragons and I'm salty for the pettiest of reasons. The two units that make up my ship have leader skills that perfectly complement each other, but it's literally impossible to build a team with both of them. They're both designed so that you need multiple copies on a team to loop their active skills, but you don't have enough team slots to loop both and also cover the activation condition for their leader skill.

Of course, the rival (canon) ship doesn't have this problem :( I'm being forced - forced! - by the cruel hand of meta slavery to betray my preferences and accept the superiority of canon.

(Context: Puzzle & Dragons is a match-3 deck-building game that pretty much survives off doing collabs with popular Japanese IPs, so all my teams are full of funky stuff like Hatsune Miku and Lelouch. I think I also have Han Solo from back when they still did Western collabs, too.)

sympathies, nona! :{ Can you pretend that one of them is actually your fave IN DISGUISE???

From: (Anonymous)

...actually yes. It's even canonically accurate!

Thank you, dan. You have saved me from a lifetime (or approximately three months before this team is powercrept by something else) of suffering and woe.

Over many millennia, I was forged in the fires of Mt "Barbie has to date the plushy Pizza Hut mascot, because there's no Ken doll to be found". Now I pass my wisdom on to thee.

New collab, new team woes!

In theory, the gameplay design for the Haikyuu collab is great - you're playing as a volleyball team, so you bounce the ball between different players (skill activations) and then one player scores (big damage/limit break on one card).

In practice, this means the team is incredibly annoying to play. You have to activate three skills a turn to do any damage, and the haste system works such that half the time, you're activating five skills a turn. Since there's a fixed skill rotation, your utility skills aren't always up when you need them - both your cleric and damage absorb solutions only have 50% uptime, so you have to stall when they're not up. Incredibly obnoxious, especially when endgame content consists of dungeons with twenty floors that you can't pause or tab out of.
