BASIC RULES

1) EACH WEEK, go to the GOOGLE FORM above and submit your single tip. That's one team, that you think will win their game that week. A single team, out of the entire round. Surely that's easy as! If your team wins, WOOHOO! You're through to the next week. If they don't, you're OUT OF THE GAME!* A draw is a loss, as far as this game is concerned. All decisions are final and the result as it stands at the end of any extra time is the result we use. ONE TIP PER PLAYER PER ROUND!
2) THERE WILL BE ONE LIFE available to you until the start of Round 10. That means, you can tip incorrectly once only prior to Round 10 and you won't be eliminated. That gives us all a chance to see what's going on with each of the teams and also allows for users to start late.
3) Once we get to ROUND 16 then it's new rules whereby you cannot tip the same team twice. We will cover that when we get there. Until then, you can tip Melbourne every week if you want to.
4) Whoever is the last man standing wins the /NRL Reddit jersey of your chosen size.
5) If everyone happens to get it wrong on a particular week, then we move on to the next week as if nothing happened.
6) We are tipping State of Origins independently of the round matches.
7) ANY QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW

Hello guys this is ömer and i've played this game for many years at leas 8 years and here are my honest conclusions about this game and please do yourself a favor and read this comment to my post argue but lets research deeper into this matter(sorry for my english from the start im not a native speaker). The thing is wargaming is making their game increasingly pay to win releasing more broken tanks and trying everything possible to suckle them dimes from us. They are not trying to earn money in spite of killing the game they are trying to squeeze every single dime out of already dead game the most sinister way possible. Everyone is saying after every patch "hurr durr the game is dead already i wont play it" whatever but whenever this happens whenever people launch the game after a so called "patch of quitting" Matchmaking is always instant mostly takes 1 minutes. This is the first suspicious thing. A game which has less than 3 k active players (statistics from:https://playercounter.com/world-of-tanks/)
Do you remember times when world of tanks which has more players online and more fun but fkd up matchmaking? you encountered tier 10 tanks with your tier 5 light tank? back at these days world of tanks had way more online players but couldnt resolved the matchmaking issues and the reason of it was probably low amount of players. Even league tried to fix their matchmaking for years with at least 2 million active users. I can imagine some of these algorithms because im an industrial engineer and have mediocre skills in programming.
What happened next? My honest opinion is wargaming really improved matchmaking and made it seriously good from before. And the issue resolved literally overnight with 3 5 7 system also limited artillery and light tanks. How is it possible for match making to take nearly the same amount of time after these changes. While people were complaining about the old match making system i wasnt caring about these comments because in my mind i was thinking its impossible to fix this, if they tried to fix it it will make que times at least 10 minutes because nature of the queues. So i tought thats the way this game meant to be played. But they resolved this issue without complications. This is probably the first time they started to fill game with bots. At first things were good probably but after that the amount of chatting in the game lowered significantly over time. And over time progressively game became less and less fun. After this phase of botting game was probably dead already and amount of actual online players probably diminished to a point of no return. After this wargaming (which is a suspicious company in itself you can check various resources for their weird criminal activites) launched massively aggresive pay to win campaigns just to squeeze every possible dime out of the left loyal player base. I dont think after the indroduction of overpowered premium tanks and many anti free to play systems in this game makes it impossible to play the game for a new player. This game seems so simple and its actually really hard. And this nature of the game seals the fate of the game.
Right now i think (talking as a 5 k games and 49 win rate player) from my experience there is no actual humans in my games. out of 30 players i think 4 or 5 of them are actual humans. I try messaging people at the end of the game only 1 out of 10 return back. And this game is a massive bot scheme just to get money out of you.

I played the Diablo beta first with my gf who played as a barbarian and I played a rouge (previously tried the sorcerer but after seeing how fast everything died compared to seeing my gf struggle with every mob I switched) And it was absolutely fun we struggler with almost every boss, we had to dodge drink potions kite and use every kit in our disposal. We had to switch our kit for some bosses and even roleplay as our class for exampel I had to go kill ranged mobs in assassin style because they would melt the babarian and in turn she tanked and pulled the Aggro of the meele mobs and bosses so I could attack them in the back. I played Diablo 3 before and other then dodge out of some poison puddle it never really felt like you had to played tactical to win or survive. I know the game for many is more like a power fantasy killing tousend of mobs in 1min or melting bosses in 0,5second is what many find fun themself but I had to say really liked the feeling of experiencing a almost souls like experience in Diablo and not be the all in one army knife that can do anything alone. I know higher difficulty exist but I never feel that they feel balanced in a way that I have to play tactical more that enemy become damage sponges and one shot you and that isn’t fun either. I liked the balance I had in the beta where I had to play the bosses mechanics and would be punished for beign to greedie for example. That’s all feel free to share your opinion should Diablo just be a power fantasy where you become a literal god or more like a real challenge?

Satta King is a type of illegal gambling game that originated in India. The game is based on numbers and betting, and it has become a popular pastime for many people, especially in the northern part of the country. Despite being illegal, the game has managed to thrive, with many players participating in it regularly.
The History of Satta King
The origins of Satta King can be traced back to the 1950s, when the game was introduced in Mumbai. At that time, it was known as "Ankada Jugar," which means "figures gambling." The game involved betting on the opening and closing rates of cotton being traded on the Bombay Cotton Exchange.
Over time, the game evolved, and it started to include betting on the opening and closing rates of other products, such as wheat and oil. However, the game's popularity declined after the government banned it in the 1960s.
The game made a resurgence in the 1980s, and it became known as Satta Matka. The game involved betting on the opening and closing rates of the New York Cotton Exchange. The game's popularity peaked in the 1990s, with thousands of people participating in it every day. However, the government once again banned the game, and it went underground.
In the early 2000s, the game resurfaced once again, but this time it was called Satta King. The game had a new format, and it involved betting on the opening and closing rates of different products, such as gold and silver.
How Satta King Works
Satta King is a game of chance, and it involves betting on a specific number. The game is played in rounds, and each round lasts for one day. Players can bet on a number for a specific round, and if their number is chosen, they win a prize.
The game is usually played in small groups, with each group having a leader. The leader is responsible for collecting the bets and distributing the winnings. The game is illegal, and there are no rules or regulations governing it.
Players can place bets on a specific number for a particular round. They can place bets on a single number or multiple numbers. The payouts depend on the odds of winning, and they can range from 9/1 to 999/1.
The game's results are usually declared at a specific time, which varies depending on the region. The results are declared using different methods, such as drawing lots or using a random number generator.
Why Satta King is Popular
Satta King is popular for several reasons. First, it is a game of chance, and it offers the thrill of winning or losing. Second, it is easy to play, and anyone can participate in it. Third, the game offers the opportunity to win a significant amount of money quickly.
However, the game has several downsides. First, it is illegal, and players can face legal consequences if caught. Second, the game can be addictive, and players can end up losing large sums of money. Third, the game can lead to social problems, such as gambling addiction, financial problems, and relationship issues.
The Impact of Satta King
Satta King has had a significant impact on Indian society. The game has created a culture of illegal gambling, which has led to social problems, such as gambling addiction, financial problems, and relationship issues.
The game has also led to the rise of organized crime. Many gangs and criminal organizations have taken advantage of the game's popularity to make money. The game's underground nature has made it difficult for law enforcement agencies to crack down on the criminal activities associated with it.

Hello everyone, I have been experiencing very peculiar shutdowns on my Asus laptop, running Win 10. They have happened occasionally in the past, but have gotten very frequent lately.
Here is what happens: Out of the blue, my monitor is filled with a chaotic mix of colourful lines and rectangles, while extremely loud audio screeches from the computer, after this the computer becomes unresponsive and I have to force it to shut down. The startup takes a very long time.
There is no cause for the crashes which I could discern. It only ever happens while I am running Starcraft 2, a decade+ old videogame which does not heavily tax any of my system's aspects. Far more demanding software does not produce this issue, so I don't think overheating has anything to do with this, the temperatures don't reach very high numbers. There have been occasions where this issue has happened even though I was not running Starcraft 2 at the time, but it has been extremely rare.
Due to the colours flashing on my screen I have to assume there is some video card hardware error. Unfortunately I do not know how to determine the cause of the issue, the crash does not show up on the reliability monitor as anything except "windows was not correctly shut down". Sometimes the issue happens back to back, sometimes it doesnt happen for days. I have done a clean install of windows and my drivers seem to be doing all right, but the issue is still around.
Should I take my computer for repairs? I really want to play starcraft, but I also use this computer for work so I'd rather not give it up for days. I've been having this issue for 3 years now, at first my solution was to stop playing starcraft, but now I downloaded the game again, thus the issues reemerged. Pls help, I really want to play SC2...

Here are some tips to help you hire a writer and avoid getting scammed:

1. Use PayPal and select "Goods and Services" when sending payments. This guarantees a refund in case you get scammed.
2. Pay in milestones. Consider paying for the project in stages as the work is completed, rather than paying the entire fee upfront. This can provide protection for both the client and the freelancer. Our policy requires payment of half of the total fee upfront, with the remaining balance due upon receipt of the completed task.
3. Protect your personal information. Avoid revealing your name, birthday, social security number, home address, phone number, or school to protect your privacy.
4. Interview writers and request samples before hiring. Ask them about their knowledge, expertise, and experience related to your project, and request samples of their work. This can help you make an informed decision.
5. Check for plagiarism. Use tools like Google to check for matching text and ensure that citations are properly added to ensure that the work you pay for is original.

Note: It's important to only work with verified tutors to reduce the risk of being scammed. Work with unverified tutors at your own risk.

Well, this is unexpected. I was prepared for either Mlynar or Stainless to be next, but I’ll admit I was expecting Stainless more. Not that I'm complaining. The skins in this patch are to die for. That Utage skin? Unf... It would have been a bigger crime than Dorothy to delay that. Oh ya, I guess there's some good new units here that people have been waiting for too.
This article specifically covers the new units from the An Obscure Wanderer event. The main guide covering the rest of the game can be found here on Gamepress. The Gamepress version of this update can be found here. Please note that although the reddit version of the main guide still exists, I no longer maintain it to the same extent and it may be out of date. Refer to the Gamepress guide for the most up to date information!

FAQ and Banner Discussion

Q: Should I pull?
A: An emphatic yes. Many consider Mlynar to be the single best unit currently in the game. Sure, some might argue for Texas2, Surtr, or Ch'en2 instead, but everyone with any sense of the game will still have him among the very top. Plus, if one of the best units in the game wasn’t enough to convince you, the supporting 5★, Proviso, has the best RIIC base skill in the game. Speaking in terms of meta value, there is no reason to skip this banner
​
Q: Wait, Mlynar is next? I thought we expected him to be delayed? What does this mean for Texas2?
A: Mlynar is indeed next, and it is indeed unexpected. Much of the schedule prediction talk was predicated on the idea that Il Siracusano would be run during Golden Week. The idea was that Texas2 during Golden Week would necessitate moving Mlynar’s release since there wouldn't be enough time to run the required Chapter 11 events on top of Mlynar. That’s where the idea that he would be delayed came from.
I talked about this topic a bit in my Dorothy Schedule article, if you want to see some of the speculation (it’s near the end).
Yostar, though, seems to have thrown us yet another curve ball. I don't want to get into too much detail here since this isn't a schedule prediction article. However, it now seems that Texas2 will not be during Golden Week. It is still possible, but would involve both the Near Light Rerun datamined date (April 14th) being changed and the Chapter 11 pre-banner being skipped. Those options, while possible, are unlikely, so odds are that Yostar will now run the events in order which would place Texas sometime in May instead.
As for why? We can only guess.
​
Q: I already have what I think is a powerful team, should I still roll for Mlynar?
A: Probably, yes. The thing with Mlynar is that he is so powerful that he opens up a new tier of power. Mlynar (and Texas2) don't expand the current top crust of the meta. They add a new layer to it. Of course, if you already find the game to be easy with your current team and have no interest in things like Ascension 15 IS#3 and high risk CC, that may not matter to you. However, a very top meta team pre-Mlynar will perform noticeably worse than a team with Mlynar (and/or Texas2).
​
Q: Should I skip this banner to roll for Texas the Omertosa?
A: No, don't skip this banner. The only exception in terms of meta-value is if you feel Texas2 is completely unmissable due to being a Limited. That matters to some people; however, there is a tremendous opportunity cost to skipping Mlynar. Mlynar is every bit as valuable as Texas is and this will be by far the best chance we will ever have to get him. Opportunity cost is an aspect many people overlook when it comes to pull decisions. By skipping Mlynar, you are removing many good total outcomes (getting both units) to increase the odds of a mid-level outcome (only getting one unit).
Only you can decide where that balance is for you, but know that if you choose to skip Mlynar you are giving up a lot of value.
​
Q: Does Mlynar powercreep SilverAsh?
A: Yes, Mlynar is better than SilverAsh. Sure, SilverAsh maintains some niches thanks to his strong Talents. However, the damage difference is staggering, and a large majority of the time Mlynar is the preferable pick.
The long answer is far more nuanced due to the type of game Arknights is. Powercreep means different things to different people. Many casual observers less familiar with Arknights would see discussions of meta and powercreep through the context of multiplayer. That is, using the non-meta options puts you at a disadvantage. However, that isn't really what happens in Arknights. In another game, Unit A powercreeping Unit B often makes Unit B worthless. That isn't the case here. Unless the stage design itself begins to change as a result of the powercreep (which so far it hasn’t), SilverAsh is no worse than he was before this patch, and he is still a top-shelf unit.
​
Q: Why is Mlynar only graded S++ when SilverAsh has been graded S+++?
A: This is the first part of a larger grade adjustment I'm working on. I wasn't planning on doing it yet, but the event being moved up has left me little choice in this aspect. One of the changes I am intending to make is to remove the S+++ grade. It looks silly and the nuance it adds isn't really helpful, not to mention it closes some doors as the game increases in power. Should the next busted unit be graded S++++ if they happen to be better than Texas2? Would I be using S+++++ in a couple years?
Essentially from here on out, S++ is the ceiling. The best of the best skills will be in this category since the nuance between them loses a lot of meaning. Thus, Mlynar and SilverAsh have the same grades (or will when I push the update). Is Mlynar's S3 better? Yes. Does the difference between two of the best skills in the game matter enough to complicate the guide? No.
I will be considering alternatives in the future, so if you have any feedback, please let me know!
​
Q: Should I pull for Mlynar Potentials?
A: No! Unless you are an endgame player, in which case you're not reading this article in the first place, it is never worth pulling for pots. Even Bagpipe’s SP pot, and Texas2’s redeploy time pot are minor upgrades in the grand scheme of things. It simply costs too much in pull resources for a difference that will only matter if you are pushing the very very very endgame.
...
With all that said, Mlynar has some of the most valuable Potentials in the game. Strangely so. His Talent and ATK pot add over 9% more DPS over pot1. Again, I am not telling you to pull for pots here. If you are a non-spender, do NOT pull for potentials! However, if you've ever considered spending a little bit to go that extra mile on a unit, Mlynar is the one to do it on.
Just don't miss out on Texas2 because of it.
​
Q: Should I be raising Proviso for her base skill?
A: I want to emphasize something first. You should NEVER E2 a unit for their base skill alone. The best ones take literal years of ideal play to pay off. It is not worth it!
Except… Proviso might be the first exception to that rule. Not only is her Trading Post (TP) skill ridiculously good, but it double-dips by allowing an extra factory slot in 2-5-2 bases. Her skill works just as well (if not better) in a 2-slot TP which frees up power to upgrade a factory to 3-slots, which would normally need to be left at 2. It's difficult to calculate the exact returns on the skill, but some rough estimates place the break-even point (under ideal circumstances) at around 6-8 months instead of the more typical 3+ years.
A word of warning though, the above assumes ideal circumstances. If you're running 2-4-3, that break-even time goes way up since you don't get the extra factory slot (it still is likely worth it long term). It also assumes you're doing good rotations and have otherwise good units to round things out. However, Proviso is a pretty decent unit herself, and big base numbers are extremely satisfying.

Never Vowed

Mlynar

Skill	Story	Advanced	Roguelike
S3M3	S++	S++	S+++

Mlynar is the best Physical Melee DPS unit in the game, and possibly the best DPS unit period, depending on who you ask. His S3 is his key skill, and the Mastery gains on it are big. Units of Mlynar's caliber are simple to evaluate because of how game-defining they are. Their primary skills should be your highest priority among Masteries. Simple as that.
I would not bother with his S2 Masteries and they are ungraded here. It has a fairly high Mastery rate among secondary skills, but that is more a reflection of his overall power and popularity as a unit. Compared to S3, niches that his S2 might be useful in are much more narrow compared to other secondary skills on other top-tier units. His S2 Masteries will be an expensive alternative you're not likely to ever practically use.

Proviso

Skill	Story	Advanced	Roguelike
S2M3	B-	C+	B-

Given how valuable her base skill is, many people will promote Proviso anyway, which makes the Mastery decision relatively interesting. Proviso is essentially a slightly better Podenco. She has better damage and duration, but a worse cycle time. That isn't amazing, given that her promotion and Masteries cost twice as much, but it still makes her a more than functional utility option. Her S2 Masteries are very important to using S2 since they provide big boosts to both damage and uptime. The interval reduction at M3 is especially valuable for her DPS, though her overall damage is relatively low still. While she is not as cost effective, her Masteries are reasonable, if low-priority considerations to make a unit you likely are investing in anyway capable on the field. Her S1 is ungraded. It may be useful to those who want to use Proviso as a regular member of the team and has big Mastery upgrades, but it’s easily outclassed by a myriad of other, better options.
​

Mastery Look Ahead

MonHub collab units are added below, but Chapter 12 isn't out yet. Looks to be an interesting patch though!

Unit	Type	Comments
The Legend of Luo Xiaohei
Luo Xiaohei	Collab Welfare	There isn't a lot to say about this collab unit. He is fine, but nothing special, and you'll be better off just using Arene for your low rarity ranged Guard needs. That said he will definitely appeal to a lot of people and doesn't cost much, so go with S2 if you want to Master a skill which gets a decent increase to his damage output and is the more impactful skill. S1 is certainly a novel skill, but the low damage per hit means it just isn’t that useful for anything but cuteness.
Mizuki and the Caerula Arbor
Highmore	Welfare	Highmore is very similar to La Pluma to the point their S1 is literally identical. La Pluma is still the better unit in general since her ASPD talent is better for what the class does, but Highmore will still be a very viable alternative (or addition, double reaper go brrrr). This is especially true in IS#3 where she is the better pick with some big advantages thanks to her mode specific talent. There is a much bigger difference across their S2s however, with Highmore’s being far less valuable. The bulk that her S2 brings isn’t as useful and is much more niche in addition to some pretty poor gains. Stick with just her S1 for Mastery which makes her a very consistent and reliable option in IS#3. La Pluma will perform better elsewhere though.
Chapter 11 - Return to Mist
Dagda	Welfare	Brawlers have always been a bad archetype (the best Brawler only becomes good by turning into a Centurion instead), and Dagda doesn't change that. Her damage is subpar even with her skill active, and is comically bad when her skills are down. And she can only block 1. There is very little to like here. Even her Mastery gains are poor, which makes any suggestion difficult. Go with S2 if you insist on raising her. Who the hell thought Defensive Recovery on her S1 was a good idea?
Totter	Gacha	Totter is a pretty good unit for what he is. His niche is a helpful one, though not quite enough to put him into the top tiers of 4★s. Instead, he’s a solid unit that can be useful to have at times. He incidentally comes out at the same time as a new SSS stage that plays to his strengths extremely well. He's still unlikely to be graded, but both of his skills will have use if you want (favor S1 for SSS specifically).
Paprika	Gacha	One has to wonder why Paprika exists. She isn't bad in the absolute sense, but she serves no purpose in the broader game, competing directly with some very strong units while offering no special value herself. If you need the healing, there are plentiful other options that provide much better support or much lower costs (or both). She will be ungraded and you shouldn't be raising her, but go with S2 if you insist. It at least brings her healing up to a respectable total compared to her S1.
Stainless	Gacha	The only good unit from the Chapter 11 patch; however, Stainless is still pretty niche. He does have plenty of support use, so he is far from a bad unit, but the setup he requires puts him on the gimmicky side of things. He'll have pretty low Mastery grades. Without Mastery he can still be a pretty effective support unit, with neither his S1 or his S2 being exceptionally worth a Mastery; in particular, his S2 is a great skill, but it only needs SL 7). S3 will be his best Mastery option. The setup it requires can be a burden, but it has a huge attack multiplier with a lot of flexibility. If that DPS aspect doesn't interest you though, he can still be safely used at M0. Be wary of overvaluing his S1. Although the final number is good, it requires much more setup than other comparable buff skills.
Il Siracusano
Vigil	Welfare	Vigil looks to be the weakest 6★ of 2022. Even on paper, his kit isn’t very good. It has low DP gen, no ATK improvement, and no real utility. However, it's even worse than that. His wolves, which his skills are reliant on, are incredibly weak. They are statistically worse than Beanstalk's or Blacknight's pets, and the supposed benefits of them come nowhere close to making up the difference. If that weren't enough, there are many bizarre interactions in his kit, bordering on bugs, which remain unfixed as of this writing. There's too many to list here in this look ahead, but check this write-up by Boelthor for some more info. You'll get much better value raising Blacknight, or even Beanstalk. I hope this changes by his release on EN, but as it stands, he'll be among the lowest graded 6★s post-Module upgrades.
Lunacub	Gacha	Lunacub’s permanent stealth will certainly have some uses, but her DPS isn't high enough to justify the added investment. Her cycle time is perplexingly long for a year four unit, and the lack of attack multiplier on her S2 means she'll struggle more compared to her competition. She's a bit like Kirara in that regard: a nice idea hamstrung by poor damage and skill uptime. She'll be ungraded, but go with S2 if you particularly like her.
Penance	Gacha	If you relied only on the initial flurry of highlights, you could be forgiven for thinking that Penance is the hyper meta unit of this banner. She is a cautionary tale of not using only Youtube/Bilibili highlights to guide your opinion. Of course, she’s still a monster of a unit. She hits hard, has a mountain of bulk, and an absolutely incredible damage reflect. She is potentially the best solo lane holder in a lot of scenarios. However, for general purposes, Mudrock remains the go to choice, as Penance’s kit works poorly in a full team comp. Because she is reliant on having enemies to kill in order to maintain her bulk, she ends up rather inflexible compared to her competitors. S3 will be her main skill worth Mastery. Her other two skills are fine, and big Penance fans will find both of them useful, but her S3 is far and away the best option. They won't justify the investment cost for most.
Texas the Omertosa	Gacha Limited	Texas is the banner’s real winner and the latest to power creep an older unit (RIP in pieces Phantom). She is extremely powerful and is at the very tip-top of the meta. She has better ST Arts DPS than both Surtr and Eyja. Not only that, she also has a mountain of utility; her S2 has a strong RES debuff which makes her effective against nearly all enemies, her S3 has range, anti-air, and heavy crowd-control, and that's on top of the benefits of being a FRD. Both her S2 and S3 will receive top tier grades. She will be the highest graded M6 yet, so plan for both.
Quartz	Red Cert Shop	Quartz certainly has an eye-catching stat-line, but she isn't any better than other alternatives, even at her rarity. She mainly seems to be here to tease the ridiculous stats the eventual 6★ on the archetype will have. She'll be ungraded due to said alternatives. There just isn't much value in raising her beyond novelty. However, you'll want to prioritize S2 should that appeal to you.
Qanipalaat	Red Cert Shop	Qanipalaat is a fairly interesting unit with some unique aspects to his kit. He's pretty decent too, for his rarity, with good crowd control and reasonable damage. However the ever present problem with the 5★ Casters is present here. It's a crowded group and being just decent isn't enough to particularly standout. Ultimately he doesn't justify the investment, especially with the added red cert cost. The Mastery gains on his S2 are pretty good, so he may end up with a low grade, but he shouldn't be on most people's planners for any reason but personal desire. Pass on his S1 which is just a worse version of Amiya's S1.
What the Firelight Casts
Puzzle	Welfare	A lot of people, myself included, initially scoffed at Puzzle. He clearly isn't as good as Cantabile (who almost everyone has) and has fairly high SP costs for a Vanguard. However, he's proven himself to be a solid option, especially for a Welfare. To be clear, he is nowhere near as valuable as Cantabile. He is more DPS oriented, which is nice, but not really the purpose of the role. However, his DPS and utility are good enough that his S2 warrants moderate consideration. It charges surprisingly quickly and outputs a ton of damage on top of his flexible archetype. His S1 may be worth considering as well, but it only gains damage at M2 and M3 so odds are it will be ungraded aside from the M1 breakpoint.
Harmonie	Gacha	Within the realm of 5★ Casters, Harmonie is pretty decent. How many times have I said that before? It's a crowded group. Harmonie is still far from a must-raise, but she stands out as having a well designed kit. It has decent damage, good utility, and it all works well together. Niche players especially will find her quite nice. S2 will be the obvious choice for Masteries and will likely end up with a modest grade. Although she exists in a crowded space, her utility along with solid gains will make it something to consider on the lower end of priority.
Reed the Flame Shadow	Gacha	How do you improve the often subpar Caster class? By making them a Medic, of course. Makes total sense. Duh. Reed's alter form is just the most recent big meta unit. There's a lot of those lately and I only have so many adjectives to describe how busted these units tend to be. Reed is a tremendous unit. She features the highest Arts ST DPS in the game, alongside some of the highest HPS and extremely flashy mass crowd-clearing to boot. However there is some reason for caution. Certainly she will be an upper crust unit, but a few small usability quirks may keep her off the very top. Unlike units like Surtr or Ch’alter she has to choose between ST or AoE damage, she needs other units to deal full ST damage, and Arts Weakening isn’t as good as RES shred. She is extremely strong but we’ll need some time to judge just exactly how strong. Regardless, Reed will be a top graded M6. Plan for both S2 and S3.
Where the Vernal Winds Will Never Blow
Jie Yun	Welfare	Jie Yun is one of those units that's quite good... for her rarity. While she lacks the utility that elevates the more meta 5★ options, she has solid damage and a surprisingly good cycle time. Beyond that, there isn't much else to say since her kit is pretty straightforward. Most players tight on resources won't want to invest, but she is good enough and has enough appeal outside of the meta that she'll garner a modest grade. Stick with S2 for Mastery. It is the better skill and has extremely strong gains. S1 has significantly worse DPS and its only real benefit is being auto recovery.
Firewhistle	Gacha	Fire Whistle is a good unit because her archetype is inherently strong. However, she has a slightly different niche than Ashlock. While Ashlock is useless if forced to block, Fire Whistle’s skills work mostly as normal (like Horn’s S2), making her an effective blocker as well as a long range nuker. In my opinion, this isn’t as valuable since effective blocking isn’t why you bring the archetype to begin with and Ashlock does the nuking part better. Still, Fire Whistle is quite good and much more forgiving. Both of her skills are usable and likely to be graded. While S2 has the greater total damage and is better for blocking, it has a notable lack of burst and a high SP cost. S1 meanwhile will be more consistent, reliable, and better against armor.
Lin	Gacha	HG disappoints yet again with the Phalanx archetype. The perplexing decision to make Lin a Phalanx caster aside, they just can't seem to get it right after Beeswax and Mint. She rates slightly better than Carnelian (not a compliment), and really only because she requires no ramp up for her damage. Overall, her damage is nothing special by current standards and she has a shockingly long cycle time. There is a decent chance she finds some fringe use in the meta thanks to her shield, and should still be more than serviceable for those who like the character. However, given the relative strength of recent 6★s, her grades will end up fairly low. Both S3 and S2 are worth considering, though S2 may end up ungraded due to awful gains.
Chong Yue	Gacha Limited	Yet another hilariously busted unit. Chong Yue hits hard and fast over a long range. He also gets a lot out of buffs, meaning that he should scale nicely into difficult content. His kit can be deceptive since unlike other dual strike units, his hits count independently. This means he gains SP twice as fast and can even trigger his S3 off of the second attack. In fact, he activates his S3 so often that he is the new king of voice-line spam – to the point some might consider it a major drawback. edit: DV took so long to come out this was already patched. RIP. Anyway... However, he isn't quite very tip-top busted thanks to a few drawbacks. They are relatively minor but with how the power level of the game has escalated recently, they are worth at least acknowledging. He's a relatively frail one block unit with no self-sustain who also requires a fair bit of wind-up. Sharing his rate-up with the disappointing Lin also hurts his value. It should make pull decisions quite interesting. His S3 is the only Mastery worth considering and it will have a top-tier grade. On top of being an extremely strong DPS skill, it has large improvements to his SP cost that are nearly mandatory to use him effectively.
A Death in Chunfen
Wind Chimes	Gacha	When Quartz was released, many were curious as to what the higher rarities of the Crusher archetype would bring. Turns out the first 5★ attempt is... really bad. Her primary gimmick is just too weak and her cycle time is just too long. Even if her S2’s SP cost was halved, she wouldn’t be good – but it isn’t, and she has a perplexing 30 second cycle for a paltry amount of damage. Wind Chimes is a unit to avoid, but if you were intent on raising her anyway I'd actually consider S1 instead despite the fact that it’s a generic Attack Up skill. The power on S2 is just so anemic that only two hits from S1 will out damage it (in less time than the 5 second wind-up), but even then she's quite a bit worse than the commonly available Centurions.
Qiu Bai	Gacha	Qiu Bai is a difficult unit to rank, and she has caused quite a bit of discussion. I suppose that means she's actually well balanced compared to the hyper-meta state of many recent units. Qiu Bai has some significant drawbacks such as an RNG factor, a lack of RES shred, and an unusually long downtime. However, her range, control, and strong multi-target DPS still give her a ton of potential. S3 is likely to be her "meta" skill when she appears in high end gameplay due to its extremely high DPS, but S2 will often be the better "every-day" skill due to its much shorter cycle. S1 may be appealing, too, since it is her most consistent control skill, though I am unsure if it will garner a grade. Regardless of how you intend to use her, S3 should be your highest priority target. It has some of the most extreme gains over Mastery of any skill in the game; Mastery will be essential to using it at all.
Leaves Chasing Fire
Rathalos S Noir Corne	Collab Gacha	Noir Corne is an interesting iteration on the Musha archetype. While the shortcomings are still there, his kit comes together better in total, and he brings enough burst and utility to make him something to consider, though far from mandatory or meta. His Mastery selection will be similar to his counterpart, Akafuyu, but will be graded higher. Both skills are strong, but have differing uses, so you will likely want to pursue both. If you only did one it's really a matter of preference, but I would start with S1. It handles both trash due to its reset and elites thanks to its block, plus the Offensive Recovery plays better to the archetype.
Kirin X Yato	Collab Gacha	Yet another super strong Limited Fast-Redeploy. Thanks HG, very cool. Yato isn’t quite as busted as Texas the Omertosa, but that’s hardly an insult. There is certainly room for both. For Masteries, Yato will range anywhere from a simple M3 all the way to M9 depending on your preferences. For many players, just Mastering S2 will suffice. It is the easiest skill to use and does so much damage that it covers the majority of use cases. S3 is also quite powerful, but it requires more planning and map knowledge to effectively use. While a strong skill and Mastery, not everyone will get as much use out of it. Finally, her S1 is a fringe consideration. It has extremely long uptime for an FRD and is buff receptive (think of Exusiai’s S3); however, it is much harder to use effectively and her other skills will be more than enough most of the time.

Bio from The Festival Voice

Artist Biography by Daniel Karasek
Jacob Collier is a Grammy-winning vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who blends jazz, R&B, and pop with electronic production. He was born in 1994 to a family of North London musicians but didn’t start sharing videos of his home music room until 2011 when he was 17. The videos were in a grid format with Jacob performing each part himself including eight-part vocal harmonies. He played some originals including “Serendipity” but also did covers including George Gershwin and Stevie Wonder. After Jacob graduated high school, he went to the Royal Academy of Music where he majored in jazz piano performance. While attending, Quincy Jones saw potential in Jacob and signed him to his management company. Additionally, Jacob fine-tuned his solo multimedia live performances by collaborating with MIT’s Media Lab. He debuted this new technology at the 2015 Montreux Jazz Festival where he opened for Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. The following year he released his debut album In My Room which made it to number three on Billboard’s Jazz Albums chart. In 2017, Jacob won two Grammy Awards for his versions of “You and I” by Stevie Wonder and The Flinstones theme song. The next year he released his second album as the first of a four-part project called Djesse, Vol. 1 which featured the Metropole Orkest conducted by Jules Buckley and collaborations with an array of musicians including Suzie Collier, Jacob’s mother. In 2019, Djesse, Vol. 2 was released that focused on acoustic instrumentals and had an array of impressive collaborators. Both albums earned Grammy Awards. In 2020, Jacob released Djesse, Vol. 3 which featured T-Pain, Ty Dolla $ign, and others.

Continuation of pt 1. https://www.reddit.com/MAFS_AU/comments/125zz4q/unpopular_opinion_my_assessment_of_the_villains/

1. Duncan - I think he's a nice guy seems articulate analyzes well. He's handled himself generously with the attacks from Alyssa. However I do think there are some valid issues. First that photoshoot .. would anyone like their partner working with a attractive friend to take sexy photos? Weird. And as I mentioned b4, he could have been a tad more proactive about finding out what life would be like. (see Alyssa description). Don't know if the recent rumors are true about him having a GF before and breaking it off bc Harrison suggested he'll get better . But if so, yea I can see why Alyssa was vary of who he keeps as friends. Regardless though of Harrison's involvement, he needed to break it off because that wasn't a good relationship.
   
2. Layton - honestly I feel like we've been fed some sort of false narrative about Layton. He doesn't seem to be emotionless. He seems to have good morals/boundaries, respectful, caring, and shows emotions. Like John's arguement about him having to be uncomfortable with the partner swap was pretty stupid because morals are not meant to be crossed. It's not some sort of preference that you can challenge or push yourself outside of. I also see him as very attentive and caring of Melinda even infront of her. And the guy cried a number of times, even infront of her. What's this nonsense about him not being emotional? I mean lets compare and contrast him and Duncan. When Duncan analyzes Alyssa and the relationship to the experts its emotional intelligence. When Layton does it it's being too much in the head. I think this did unfortunately made Melinda feel more right than she actually is. Overall I think these two do have potential but I hope they go for a real couples counselor because then they can thrive after learning how to communicate better.
   
3. Evelyn - I liked her at first but I started to get annoyed she wanted to insist and make sure no one challenged her butt dial thing. Like Harrison doesn't believe it.. OK. Who cares. Let him be. The facts remain about what was said and done whether it truly happened or not. But she gets so pushy about making sure he agrees it happens. And goes gets Rupert to confront it. But at the same time I won't be surprised if the producers directed her to 'care'. Other than that, she definitely seems like she made up her mind to get along with whoever she was matched with so she could just get airtime.
   
4. Cam - I actually think he's been getting more heat than he should. Yea he's unaffectionate and boring and emotionally neglectful. Yes. He isn't a good partner. But it rooted from him being a jerk? Look the guy has given a billion hints he's not into her. He's wishy-washy about moving. And he said he's not in love, well ok. I think he did wrong by not shielding her from the embarrassement by lying and just telling her later, but that's rooted in him just being an overly simple unsophisticated guy rather than a place of inner meanness.
   
5. Lyndall - she's been very supportive of those whose been hurt. She's tried to make it work. But I'm confused. Are the hugo rumors true... If so then I don't really understand the scandalous reaction to Cam. I do understand maybe Hugo and her met as friends or something. Or maybe she met with Hugo to talk about Cam and Taylah. I don't know. But if the rumors about all her BFs and hookups are true, she's not very innocent and it makes her angel edit annoying.
   
6. Ollie - he's been pretty underrated but my fav. He actually has the most emotional intelligence, very perceptive, and well intended. He reminds me of Pete Davidson ..
   
7. Sandy - I feel bad she just didn't get that Dan wasn't into he but it sounded like he put up a different face in private. But as someone familiar with south Asian culture and how much women put up with in the name of marriage, you could see her ultimate commitment to an even toxic spouse. And she never saw it. It sounded like he said so much racist stuff in the butt dial, why didn't that become the main holding point. Also I didn't understand why none of the men attending said anything to back or refute the claims. Maybe again, editing or producers intervention. I don't know if rumors are true about her calling him the C word but if it is, I have a feeling this would have changed her storyline on the show quite a bit.
   

That's it for now
