Yeah, I'm definitely going to wait and see how her team videos look. It's way to early for me to make any decision right now. Hell, 2.2 hasn't even started yet, lol.
Glad to hear that she's not a "required" piece, though.
I think Kafka would endorse Mommy Supremacy with Jade, though.
But yeah, Stellaron Hunters do stick together...
I just checked it now.
Can't tell if people are just memeing because of "step on me joke HAHA" since it's nothing compared to fucking 00 Gundam.
Well one is sexy and the other is cool. I guess it kind of depends on what you prefer.
I like em' both but for different reasons.
Exhibit A: Chrono
Me too, I was whelmed. I was honestly expecting more. Where's the transformation?!
I don't know how people come up with these, but this is gold.
Pretty annoying that the new endgame mode mostly sounds like a RM check when I both do not like her and feel like I'm already suffering enough from not having her.
Also don't get why people think the only appeal of Jade is the horniness and not the cool cane whip or giant purple snake. Jade's animations are sick and I am not into women lol

Firefly's technique is really disappointing. Hearing that she actually does transform into SAM for it was exciting but to see she just flys off screen and you move around a reticle is lame.
Very happy with her battle animations though. Thank god they had the restraint to have her be SAM the whole time and not pander to people just wanting another cute anime girl. The mecha suit in ultimate form looks cuter anyway.

I'm not even going to try to defend myself, your honor.
Guilty as charged.
Well, I'm one that is happy that SAM is 100% on during firefly's animations. Yeah she's cute but I want the Mech 24/7.
Jade's follow up attacks are wild. I don't care about horniness, she's cool just for her bloodborne ass cane lol
Anyway, I'm getting both. I'm just asking to win one 50/50 for the next 3 banners I'm rolling to be able to get either Firefly's LC or Jades.

They clearly put some extra effort into these but SAMs boss ult is better than any of her actual player animations.
Also kind of hate the swords. Can't help but think raiders of the lost ark gif when I see a mech like that pulling them out. If she can't shoot, at least let just do the fists and flames everywhere instead.
I like the snake.

If you get invited to CTB, remember to doompost feedback Jade so she could get some buff.

I mean, we currently have Arlecchino, Thelema and now Jade. Kinda blatant at this point. Though Thelema isn't really a tall woman, I think.
I'm a little let down by the backgrounds. It needs those SRW style speed lines and focus shots since they're channeling so much of it lol.
Can't disagree considering I have Arlecchino and have watched her trailer while also getting Thelema and her weapon.
As an overall package Firefly looks pretty darn amazing imo. Acheron has the better ult, but Firefly everything else.
Thelema isnt tall but shes the most blantantly BDSM of them.

I like Jade's ult - the snake aspects made it a little more interesting to me. It's kinda hard to have to follow up after Firefly's animations, but I'm a little underwhelmed.
Firefly's kit is calling to me more, but I like rolling for characters I enjoy more than for meta though and Firefly is, well, okay. I don't dislike her or anything, but I feel that what we actually get out of an otherwise pretty interesting character concept that could really have gone places in terms of narrative is mere pandering so it's disappointing. Penacony's cast is strong and I think that she and Sparkle are the two characters who pale the most next to pretty much everyone else. It could be worse though.

This may be blasphemy but I've kinda turned on Acheron's ult. It looked like the sickest shit at first but it goes on for so long and being able to change her target during it feels pointless. Maybe I'm missing something but hitting the enemy it selects automatically always feels like the right move.
In comparison, I think Firefly will age a lot better because her animations are snappy as fuck.
I think Firefly looks pretty cool. An in-battle transformation would have been better but I'm also happy with Sam all the time, and the ult looks great with the translucent wings. I'm inclined to get her, maybe her cone, and then Ruan Mei on a rerun who I already regret not having.
Firefly not generating energy during her ult means you either need to find 120 energy somewhere, get a lot of action advance, or suck it up and take 2 turns charging. With E1 there are probably some very complicated but strong speed tuned setups with Bronya. Maybe you do a basic attack during Firefly's ult and then meet up right at the end to advance her first charge. Asta could ult off-sync with Firefly to accelerate her slow turns.
But her natural team, as people have said, looks like an upcoming support character and Ruan Mei with a sustain. Running the numbers I actually think that Firefly can probably get away without a BE rope and still hit 360%. The buffs from support characters could plausibly give +100% and she can get ~213 from her kit, cone, and relic set bonuses. That would let you take an Atk rope and ease some of the substat pressure, or keep the rope and ignore BE substats to just build crit.

As a gay man, Jade looks camp as heck so I might have to pull her.
Is Ruan Mei due a rerun soonish do we know?

The last four rewards in all endgame modes will give 80 jades instead of 60 starting in 2.3, for a total of 800 if you get all stars.
In terms of release order, next up is Huohuo, Argenti, and RM. But we're also getting to the point where Seele etc. is due for a 2nd rerun and we don't know when they plan to introduce a third banner or if they're gonna keep messing with order a lot like they did by holding Luocha's rerun for so long.

lol, that one last roll to make it a perfect 10 every month.
So is Jade just we have Bayonetta at home?
The biggest crime is that Firefly's flying kick skill is just ST while the boss form is a Blast attack.

I love Jade, complete sucker for snake characters. I am going to see if I can get her on my one f2p account that has Blade, since I also have Herta, Himeko, and Clara in decent shape there. It is also my only account that has resources to pull after the great Acheron spend, so... if I lose the 50/50 I think that's okay though, I'm still pecking away at getting characters to 80 on that account.
The inspiring way she remains a thriving beacon of positivity and hope despite all the drama plaguing her life and the harsh reality of fame. Can't believe it's almost showtime...!! 🪽💙
I think the Sam boss is what spoiled the actual Firefly animations for a lot of people. After that boss fight, and all of the leakers saying that Firefly's animations and such were "expensive", "luxurious", etc., I had my expectations set sky high. And...they weren't met. At all. They aren't bad in any way, it's just not what I expected.
Meanwhile Jade, a character I only had a passing interest in ('cause ~ara ara~), ended up being a lot more surprising and appealing to me. I don't know, maybe I just need a bit of time for things to settle, but as it is Firefly kind of looks a bit boring to me (animation-wise). One thing that really bothers me is that when you use her technique and turns into Sam on the overworld, you don't even see her flying around (only see a targeting reticle). :(

Two changes I would like to see,
1.) It would be nice if her action advance trace is simply just 100% at the beginning of the battle, so you don't have to worry about weird speed breakpoints on the debt collector target, since they won't have the speed buff for a little bit of AV. Just makes the speed tuning a bit wonky.
2.) Effect res traces becoming crit rate instead. No idea why effect res is a trace for her. Even if it isn't crit, at least make it hp or def for something useful for her lol.
I do think my expectations were too high as well, oh well. They look great but certainly not mind-blowing like the first time you seen Acheron's lol. The problems of the leaking game.
Then again, I'm coping, but after the initial few weeks you grow numb to all the animations anyway lol. My plans are unchanged tho. Plus I am just not interested in Jade or FUA at all.

I mean, its still the flashiest technique in the game id say.
I don't even mean to make sure she goes first, just the AV/speed breakpoints on her designated target then gets wonky. For example in MoC -- 134 breakpoint for 2 actions on the initial cycle, you can't just assume you need 104 spd + jades 30 speed buff = 134 since there will be that little bit of initial AV where the debt collector doesn't have that extra speed.
So you would then need to build more speed to hit whatever the real breakpoint is, but then that additional speed you built becomes redundant once the next wave starts. Anddd on top of all that, if you're trying to speed tune around bronya or sparkle, makes it even more annoying lol.
I doubt they'll change her trace to 100%, but it certainly makes it a bit strange to build around otherwise imo.
You know it. Surely 2.5 is gonna be the patch to save and catch up on reruns you missed, right?
