Can Kannazuki Sora get any love?

[Blasphemy77]

I just used her recently and while somewhat clunky, she does okay damage and has decent range. I get that maybe her rework will give her some stuff but why does she not have an actual limited weapon yet, Francis is literally one of the three most recent characters and she has one now. Not only that but why no Christmas costume, Inage got one, which I am not complaining about, she looks nice, but why no Christmas costume for our little fox girl? Side note, am I the only one that wants Rinko to have a Christmas costume that matches her currently running limited Christmas supporter? That one looks so much better than what we got and there are at least two examples I can think of off the top of my head, Asagi and Yukikaze, that have two Christmas costumes.

So sorta a rant and sorta wondering how many others would like some love and attention thrown Sora's way.

EDIT: Yes she has her event weapon but that is similar to the snake weapons where they are tied to an event and all in each respective set have the same effect, nothing that interacts uniquely with her skills.

A fair thing would be that every character out there gets their christmas costume. Why some are excluded, like Sora, is something i wonder. I notice that Sora in general doesn't get much costumes, while Asagi on the other hand always get some.

She's getting a rework?

For what it's worth, I like Sora. I think she's cute and adorable. I'd like for her to get some costumes to even if they were tied to a package. I want to dress my fox girl up so badly.

Tokiko, Kirara, and Kurenai have been reworked/updated already, plus a few others before them, Sora has no passive and is due eventually for a modernization. I won't say she is next but I can imagine her being in the next 3 older characters that get updates.

Also what you were saying about her costumes is kind of exactly what I mean, she has none of those and hardly gets anything for even seasonal stuff, she has some of the fewest costumes of all characters, she has 9 costumes and Francis literally just got a 10th costume already and she is the third most recent character.

I just picked up Francis last night... Heart eyes all night. But yeah I agree Sora needs more outfits, I didn't realize Tokiko had a rework. I came back recently, like last month I think, I remember playing this back when it was on Nutaku. I stayed because it is now a much, much better game then what I remember. I picked up Kirara a few days ago. I haven't used her much yet but I look forward to it.

[Blasphemy77]

Yes, Tokiko got reworked earlier this year around summer.

This may not be a popular opinion but, for me, combat in general needs a rework. When playing a melee taimanin I spend 90% of my time just dodging and moving and because enemies just swarm and they can activate super armor whenever they want and 90% of the abilities in this game can't be cancelled out of or into combat as a melee is just an exhausting scoot and no shoot with little to no time to return attack so it just drags on. This isn't so bad when playing as someone like Astaroth, ranged tokiko, or sora because you can attack at range and shoot and scoot. But 80% of the characters are melee only.

And you need to level them because you need them for base facilities... And unlike something like Devil May Cry you can't tank damage because there is no true counterattack. You either perfect dodge (and do no damage) or you take the hit. There aren't a lot of ways to create openings to attack without trading blows. So you just end up dodging constantly.

I never play melee for the same reason. The moment I have to play a melee, I just go "Let's clear this with ranged, then use tickets to auto play the melee character".

Maybe if they removed player stuns completely, melee would be a thing, but that would also remove super armor from being a thing and make some characters lack anything making them special (except being overall worse).

Picking crowd control (cc) abilities is essential on melee characters unless/until your account is old enough to just curbstomp everything. Abilities like Koujinka, Hypnosis Seal, Tentacle Mine, etc will make a massive difference.

I highly recommend Murasaki if you struggle with melee characters. She has permanent super armor (which is not stated anywhere in her character info, should be listed as her passive imo) and can bulldoze through groups of enemies without getting flinch-locked like other melee characters. Slap three green supporters on her and wreck face. She's a beast.

So while this has veered massively off topic, I will address some of the statements made. First, this is coming with the experience of having made a new account about 6 months ago and having played it for about 3 or so months straight. Murasaki is really mediocre to start, just like most she doesn't do well without investment because despite her axe being huge her range is only okay and she doesn't do any serious damage. Wide range attacks are significantly more important than cc for melee's, virtually all of them have skills that can hit a fairly nice area and for good damage, Sakura is easily better than Asagi and Murasaki early on because she has 3 or so attacks with good range and good damage that you can spam somewhat regularly to clear things. If you want actually good melee's early on that you can't start with, Lina is easily number 1 followed by Nagi, Lina has a very wide range basic attack change that also provides her with a very high degree of super armor and she does pretty good damage, she also uses Asagi's weapons so if you chose Asagi first you can dump all the gear onto Lina. Nagi can change her basic attack to also throw a blade of wind which tremendously increases her ability to handle crowds and she does quite good damage with it. Final thing, while I would like a more intense and action packed gameplay than what we have, in all honesty it is fairly good considering it a is a gacha game with very manageable RNG.
