Is it gay if she jerks you off with her brother's hands-me-down gorilla hands?

I wanted Rebecca, I got a free Rebecca, everything's good.

Tower of Adversity

I still think those middle last two stages are a bit overtuned, but it is what it is. If my Carthy can clear it while it's an anti-aero tower, it's fine.

Actually, this is the first time I cleared 36 stars. Until now, without Hiyuki, I didn't had enough solo viable nuke characters since Lynae is a SubDPS and so she is weak while Cammy is an outdated MainDPS.

With some tinkering, I made it work. Outside the middle first floor with Lynae, everything was done on phone too.

Whimpering Waves

Some people said they made the enemies more spongy, but I didn't really felt like it. You can even see that despite the aero debuff again here with the enemy lineup of infinite torrent, my Carthy (with some help from Cammy for the aero enemies) got similar scores as last time.

This was the second time I did SSS and I do remember the first one, because that's when the HP sponge happened last time. It was right after Carthy's banner. I got SSS when she released, then right after on the next one I only got S. Then after that I couldn't even reach 4500 points. Compared to that, this "increase" is negligible for now when I am still SS.

Matrix

While I complained a lot about Whiwa early on but got used to it, I have similar problems with Matrix. Whiwa was overtuned with not many characters working in it early on, had to wait until mid-2.X to start getting characters that perform well there.

Here, there are no such gripes, it's a boss rush after all. My real gripe is the astrite rewards being set too high. I think it would have been better if they either lower the 4 team 5K points requirement to 4K or switch the astrite rewards with the total point ones.

So you would have gotten all astrites by "just" reaching 36K, with 58K staying as the title. While the 5K point per team goal should have been the rewards. That sounds a lot more reasonable and accessible even to new players while still locking the title away for high performers.

As for Cycle Rewards and Goals, it's a mixed bag but I think it's fine like this. Last patch, there was confusion how much point you can actually get because some goals that reset said "resets after each cycle" instead of "phase" so the point was lowballed to only be borderline enough until the end of 3.4.

Right now though, only the repeated rewards gives you 420 points with a good amount of hard challenge goals, though some are pretty achieavable, I got one too (and could get the 5K no hit one as well) so it's not just shill goals like that echo and fusion/glacio DMG ones.

I can't do the 8 boss kill yet and the 2 boss kill with one team twice goals, but that's a self made problem due to having every single character I have being a lvl1 bench warmer so it would take time for me to catch them up to be usable. After that though, my high DMG solo viable characters like Carthy and Hiyuki should be able to deal with the double boss goals too.

So in short, there are gripes with Matrix, but you only really miss a bike skin (which I don't really need, why would I use a basic purple Siggy skin when I paid money for the spending event shiny Aemeath one?) and not even that if you have working teams or high dupe characters like me.

Verdict

All in all, I think Wuwa's endgames are in the right place right now.

Fast weekly mini illusive realm which I hope they expand with Honami maps once the current IR event is over.

ToA is the linear investment endgame and... Whiwa didn't started as such but that become it too, you can solo if you good or have high dupe characters.

While Matrix fits in as a boss rush.

I wonder what kind of new rotating content they plan to find for the game in 4.X, wouldn't necessarily mind if they would instead focused on polishing these three with new things first like they updated ToA and Whiwa one-two times.
