What I've learned about High Mercury

About after an hour, not at all exhaustive but should keep a few peeps from instantly getting wiped out

Firstly, she does the big bang attack the kills anybody who's lacking the wyrmprint, and after that she has a ranged multi "fire ball" attack and a tailwhip that both hit hard and have huge range but can be I-framed with skills.

After fighting for a bit she'll do a move called "Spheres of Salvation" and 4 bubbles will appear in the back part of the arena:

These bubbles protect the team from her big water attack that has killed everyone who didn't make it in a bubble.

YOU CAN NOT SHARE A BUBBLE, AND THEY HAVE HEALTH BARS AND CAN BE BROKEN (when you get in one it'll get bigger as an indication, positioning is important)

Later in the fight she'll summon rats to attack your bubbles.

If you guys survive her big wave she'll pick a team member and trap them in a bubble and the rest of the team have to break them out or they'll take fatal damage.

At the same time or a little later she'll send out a homing bubble and this targets another player, it does a lot of damage and will explode after some time.

TURNING INTO A DRAGON WILL NOT KEEP YOU FROM GETTING CAUGHT IN THE BUBBLE.

Assuming more than one of you are still around, another thing you should know is that Mercury will summon a circle of bubbles around her, attacking them will break them into smaller bubbles that yield dragon charge but they'll move on impact and can damage you and your teammates.

Unfortunately this is all I've been able to figure out. Hopefully this helps!!!

Giving Characters The Worst Nicknames Possible: A Guide

I asked my friend Oreo if I should do this and they said yes so this exists now YIPPEEEEEE

SO. You have a character you like (or despise, can be either or tbh) and you want to give them a nickname, but not something cute like "the silly" or "lil goober", no. You want to give them a nickname like "Cabbage Boy" or "Cardy G", or something that, if they heard you call them that, they'd probably kill you. Lucky for you I'm here to help you with this 👍

PART 1: Choosing a Character

First up you need a character, for this I'm going to be using Cardan Greenbriar from TFOTA (+ some other characters as examples for other things) because he's stupid and also perfect for this, but you can use just about anyone since the only limit for this is your own imagination.

PART 2: Clinically Asses the Character

Now that you've chosen your character, you want to do a little deep dive on basically everything about them. What do they look like? Are they stupid? Silly? Stinky? Analyse them like you're looking at them under a microscope to figure out the parts of them. You can also write down anything you think is important if you want to, but it's not nessecary.

PART 3: Think of Stuff That'd Fit Them

So, now that you know everything you need to know about your character of choice, it's time to get thinking. Some characters have really clear look-alikes like Hiyori from Ensemble Stars, as proven in the image below

While others have things in their personality or name that can be used. For example, Cardan is incredibly stupid and really good at falling down stairs, so names like "idiot fae" and "professional stair faller-downerer" would work and can be used interchangeably, but there's one name that is just so bad it works perfectly...

PART 4: Finalising the Shitty Nickname

There can be a lot of nicknames in your head that'd all work perfectly and yes, you can use multiple nicknames, nobody is stopping you. But sometimes there's always that one nickname that outshines the rest... In the case of Cardan, it's "Cardy G", an unholy hybrid of his name and Cardi B. It's terrible and stupid and so utterly perfect for him.

PART 5: The Timeframe

Now, if you can't think of the perfect nickname right away that's completely normal, these things can take time. Hell, Cardy G only came to me a few months ago when I'd known of TFOTA and Cardan since 2021 (I had to trawl through so many dms to remember when I read it bc it feels like it wasn't too long ago that I did read it... damn those books were good). If it takes you a while to come up with a nickname don't worry too much, it will come to you eventually, and maybe it won't, the brain's a mysterious thing. But as long as you're subconsciously thinking about it it'll probably be doing its best trying to work smth out.

THE FINAL PART: part final

So, now you know how to make a terrible nickname for a character, congrats, I guess? This works just as well for OCs as it does for characters in media and stuff btw, I've got some real stupid character nicknames bc of it.

Basic 550+crimson/hr AFK Dagganoth cannoning guide.

XP+RATES: 475k+ Ranged xp 160k+ HP xp 540+ Crims/hr 260 Golds 140 Greens 20 Blues/hr Okay I really half-assed the hour I was getting stats for but these are still ok rates . In an hour you're likely to use up 3700 cannonballs and 700 Red chins. Costing 1.5m in chins and 1m in cannonballs. 2.5m gp+ total per hour gone.

Essential items: CHARMING IMP-100K DG tokens ROYALE CANNON + AUTO REFILL PERK BONE CRUSHER-34K DG tokens CURSES PRAYER FOR SOUL SPLIT & ANGUISH SO 92+ PRAYER. ANY OF THE PRAYER RESTORING AMULET, DEMON HORN IS PREFERRED. Where to go for this??? I use the Relleka lodestone, walk to the docks travel to Waterbirth island. Go into the cave there.

Gear Setup:

Id really recommend void. If you don't have that just use some non-degrade ranged armor. Obviously the essentials you need are red chinchompas.. For an offhand weapon if you have the money kicking around just buy an offhand arma cbow, it doesn't degrade and is fairly good.. but its not like off-hands matter much anyways. If you do no have the money just use a offhand rune crossbow. Royal bolts. Ring slot is all up to you, asylums, vigour, archers, whatever, your choice. Asylum/Vigour to save adrenaline for later down the road explaining. Cape slot, your choice to what you feels best, comp/max/skillcape/ava alerter. Ability bar:

Yes revolution is a must, and ability queuing is a bae esp if you rather just AFK slightly. If you want to just be 100% afk, dw about popping ultimate's or threshold ability's . But if you want to optimize xp and charm rates use your death swiftness and then thresholds as they become available. An asylum or a ring of vigour will be useful here if you use them.  If you don't have death swiftness just use thresholds when you can if youd prefer. Invent Setup:

You have your charms, each type. Cannon, Cballs, bone crusher. Optional is extreme rangings, highly unnecessary but use em if you got it I guess. Also if you want to minimize your losses you can swap the influx of potions for magic notepaper and you can loot some of the helm drops like farseer berserker or warrior. Theres the majority covered. Things you need to know: Cannons start to decay every 20minutes or so and full decay in 25 minutes. If it does just telly fally lode run northeast towards the dwarf mine entrance and go talk to Nulodion who replaces it for free.  Other than that just slap on sousplit, anguish and enjoy your afk charms+xp That should wrap up the basics to anything youd need to know. Also if you want to do magic instead here... it only costs 1m-1.5m an hour for just the cballs the spells are free but you need to use your aoe’s a lot... You revolution magic here which is way better than abyss cause the charms. I can do a strictly magic guideline later if requested. Cause fk abyss, this shits really afk too without running for reagro.
