Protocores - Why should you care learn more about them?
I made a small series of images to explain simply why you should focus more your stamina on protocores rather than level ups after a certain point without hopefully overloading your brain with info!
i’m making pan-seared venison w that stupid deer ohmygod. stats under the cut <3
granted i didn’t have to suffer too much since i only got stuck on it last weekend and then refused to push thru on tuesday, but im allowed to complain BC THE HOURS I PUT INTO THIS 🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠
(i looked n it seems it actually took me 4 hours to get there which doesn’t sound like much ? but the amount of times i had to restart that. that is 120(?) battles started. FUCK THAT!!)
anyway i’m both sad and hyped that it’s over. next zayne affinity battle is getting the plushies that refuse to fit to the claw. i swear they don’t test that :’<
hope this is useful to someone out there 🐛 i ended up focusing on weakness rather than crit bc that got me close/into the final health bar but. ya. !!!
yumi!! i'm having trouble using farspace colonel in combat. are there any tips you can give to help me use him to his fullest potential??🥺🤲
omg i have so many tips help….fawk lemme see. first it depends what rank you have FA at as some mechanics unlock as you get higher rank. i will speak from a full rank perspective but ill mention where rank matters.

LONG post below <3 feel free to dm me if you need more clarity or just comment or send another ask. i could yap yap yap about FA caleb
just to go over some terms in the photo above:
xerom stacks (icon on the left)
firepower (yellow bar)
focus stack (icon on right)
air strike buff (middle icon)
1. building firepower - firepower is the yellow bar that once you fill it you’re allowed to use your 2 pt. resonance skill. typically your goal is always to build as much firepower as quickly as possible as most of your damage comes from when you’re in battlefront (the combat zone created by your res. skill)
tips for doing this asap: my personal is auto attack 3 times —> dodge —> auto 3 times —> dodge. the reason i dodge so much is dodging is what gives you xerom stacks. every time you dodge you replenish to 10 xerom stacks. you need xerom stacks to charge firepower. if you were auto attacking with zero xerom stacks, i believe you’d get nothing.
in addition, perfect dodges are very useful to FA because his support skill helps build firepower. the more you’re able to use it, the more fire power you build.
the reason i only do the 3 auto combo is i feel the last one, which is when mc lands on the ground and she kinda twists, takes too long. so i just dodge and go again.
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE XEROM STACKS YOU CAN AUTO ATTACK and build firepower. you can literally do this when there is no mob (you’re waiting for one to spawn) - this is something i only recently realized
you can see an example of that here at 0:45, you’ll see i’m just auto attacking the air but i’m still building firepower.
remember to dodge as soon as you come out of battlefront, because you come out of battlefront with ZERO xerom stacks, meaning you won’t be building firepower.
you do NOT build firepower while in battlefront
2. battlefront - battlefront is FA’s most important mechanic. it’s what happens after you use your resonance skill and the map turns red. most of your damage comes from this time.
i typically always get max focus stacks before i use ground breach (the sniper skill that ends battlefront). the more focus stacks you build, the more ground breach will do. at certain ranks, you can build up to 5. otherwise you can only build 3. how to build focus stacks?
at FA rank 1, using air strike will build 1 focus stack. every full auto combo (no dodging. you need a FULL auto attack combo) will give you 2 focus stacks.
so typically i will enter battlefront —> active skill —> aa combo —> aa combo. and that will give me 5 stacks.
focus stacks only affect ground breach, however i always save my ult for this time as well because typically enemy shields will be broken.
3. active skill/air strike - active skill is very important.
one thing people don’t realize is how easy this skill is to cancel. if you click it and dodge immediately, it will cancel. i always click it and for like half a second after i just don’t do anything. i make sure i actually see the little circle rain of bullets before doing anything else.
this skill is important, it helps build firepower when you have xerom stacks.
in battlefront, at r1, it will give you a focus stack.
in battlefront, if you have more than one energy stack when you use air strike, it will consume 2 energy stacks and give you a brief buff which i outlined above as the air strike buff.
this buff WILL AFFECT all your damage, including your ult.
air strike also has a LOWERED cooldown when in battlefront (i think this is true i have to fact check this one) so for me, when i know im about to use deep strike (and enter battlefront) i try to always have an air strike ready
that means i refrain from using air strike when im close to filling my yellow bar
why? with the reduced cd you should be able to air strike TWICE in battlefront. this damage (esp if the shields are broken) does a lot AND it will often give you the air strike buff.
this buff runs out so quickly that typically by the time i’ve built 5 focus stacks and am ready to use ground breach + ult, the buff has run out.
so i try and use air strike again and then use my full combo.
4. timing - timing is very important for FA. ideally imo you’d be able to use your full res. skill/battlefront three times minimum in battle.
you’d think you want to stay in battlefront as long as possible as this is where most of your damage comes from, but this is not always the case.
i sometimes will come out of battlefront ASAP (maybe end it at 3 focus stacks and not 5) when i know i need to build firepower asap for my next res. skill. this is typically if it’s not a stella match. an example of that here at 0:26
obviously sometimes you don’t want to use resonance skill as soon as you can. sometimes you need to save it for after an animation, or for when you know you need to burst damage.
5. combo - here is my typical combo
dodge to start the battle (build xerom stacks)
air strike/active skill (make sure not to cancel it by dodging or auto attacking)
auto attack x3 —> dodge —> aax3 —> dodge to build fire power (while i’m doing this i will use support skill/empowered support skill any time i can. i will also use air strike any time i can, making sure to save it when im close to filling the yellow bar)
yellow bar filled, deep strike (res skill)
active skill/airstrike immediately. auto attack full combo x2 (i usually just stand still and auto attack until i have 5 stacks)
at 5 stacks, air strike again
ult
ground breach (end battlefront)
dodge (build xerom stacks) and start everything all over.
6. stats - prioritize DEF and D2W. Atk and crit come secondary, however i do consider them important too. the damage you do outside of shield break CAN add up. i think by “late game” you def want to have
at least 3.5k DEF (4k min ideal)
at least 100% D2W (130+ ideal)
your beta core stat will depend on what rank you are
On top of him being absolutely beautiful, as well as mc 🖤🫶🏻✨ I am so excited for the combat with his new myth 😍 Zayne has been struggling(in my gameplay) and I need a boost! This is going to be so much better😭 ✨
