Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 6hBonus, Homebound :) Poor guy, I listened to all his voicelines and there's so much pain and trauma there. Trying hard to not spoil myself beyond that but I'm just really looking forward to this event. 030
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Damn not a single person commented in Zooki's favor 😭 Wish I was online at the time to hype up the poor guy 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Praying Homebound's file or oprec has him interact with Glaucus, fellow Iberian Aegir with a mobility aid. I was actually reading Glaucus' oprec a couple hours before the aegir pv dropped so Glaucus has been on my mine lately. These are some tidbits I really liked from her oprec 020
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 06/10/2026But uhhh surely on rerun I can expect an epoque skin of what Homebound looked like in the past. Really do love this illustration. Untied hair paired with the expression on his face and the sleeve of his arm tied up really sells this character and artist to me Weibo link: t.co/zf2gEzQtb1 130
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I wonder if it was Homebound's actual skin tone but he lost his skin pigmentation overtime? It would coincide with all the damage done to his body and hair turning white. Altho that still leaves a sour taste in my mouth since at the end of the day, what the game is delivering is a pasty, pale guy 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It could potentially be an aid for a condition he has (like glaucus who has an exoskeleton due to her disease) considering his torso looks kind of transparent since he's based on the skeleton panda sea squirt 020
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 03/10/2026And there's the other meaning of the word of being confined to your home due to illness, injury, or some other type of condition. Homebound is scarred on one side of his body with some sort of bionic(?) arm alongside a skeleton framing his torso 130
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Homebound is one of THE most suiting codenames you could ever give to an Aegir. It matches the consistent themeing of most of them who are trying to find a place to belong and home to return to 120
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Actually scratch that out. He's an alchemist and Aulus' student which means he's def Iberian. His vibe just feels more similiar to aegir-faction units which is why I'm feeling confused but logically he should be Iberian 🤔 010
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 03/10/2026And *gestures at almost all the illustrators being chinese* yea sure buddy wonder why I don't complain about chinese artists drawing clothing from their own culture 121
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm not knowledgeable enough either to speak on the outfit designs in ak based on various cultures. Altho kinda the opposite thing you mentioned, I've heard some ppl say things like why are we calling egyptian skins on non-sargonians orientalist but not chinese skins on non-yanese 120
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Really cool design choice for Homebound to have a skeletal top to mimic the critter he's based on. Most likely Aegir-faction and not Iberia but obvs can't say for certain until we get more info on him. Would prefer he's Iberia bc I don't play Aegir-faction nor does anyone else lol 020
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Unfortunately, accompanying this event is De Toledo being my least favorite Iberian design ever and it's not even close, Clementia having a design downgrade compared to PoL, and new additions to the orientalist skin line. But I really can't think about all that rn bc I HAVE A SEA SQUIRT 130
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I WON. I HAVE A NEW CHILD AFTER 2.5 YEARS. MY FIRST SON TO JOIN MY FAMILY OF 12 DAUGHTERS. A SKELETON PANDA SEA SQUIRT THEY'RE SUCH CUTIES LOOK AT THEM RAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH 150
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Glad I could make them happy and that we won against the most annoying bosses in SPA Another cute thing that happened in a diff run was running into a newbie who I believe I friended in the previous SPA season. They were inactive for awhile but I guess they came back for more SPA lol 000
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Anyways, cute thing that happened this run was that I had a transmitter and my first tier 6 merger didn't benefit me. But there was a siracusa player so I sent them a lappalt. They spammed SO many of the different happy emojis. Usually it's just 1-2 emojis sent as thanks, not a dozen haha 100
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 01/10/2026And damazti is usually vic declaration so if vic is banned or you're not intending to play it then your teammates can't read your intent. You need to be flexible or comfortable with the fact that someone else might also play your same faction. But most ppl just rage-quit instead lol 100
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 01/10/2026We uh don't talk about the million balls and no teaspressos to accompany them despite having Pepe constantly fielded. This is why I don't believe in damazti squad + sargon. Unlike Victoria, you can't actually guarantee your faction-specific item 100
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 01/10/2026My last run to wrap up stronghold 🫡 Yes I actually sometimes do play factions bc the agile nerf this time around just makes it more reasonable to build sargon instead considering it also gives +aspd 100
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Just like us, the audience, I like how the iberians perception of the sea also shifted to wonder. I really like this tidbit from Thornstar's file and I hope the upcoming event on CN will explore the shift in the iberians attitude towards the sea 040
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Unfortunately I don't have any recs but I heard office chairs > gaming chairs bc they tend to have a more ergonomic design. My brother replaced his gaming chair with an office one but he said it was a defunct chair 😔 (Will be periodically checking this post bc I also need a better chair lol) 021
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I haven't done much baiting due to lack of invis, take off, and frds in my niche but baiting is still an option ofc for squad members who might not have much of a role Speaking of coverage outside the lights, Thornstar alch units have been putting in work (like they always do) 😤 010
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 29/09/2026But since the mechanic is really important, it's vital to keep track of the amount of disguise kits u have ^^; 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Altho the event has really been making me question if I should make adjustments to my ui adaption bc full screen on phone usually means I can't see the number of deployable items I have. I typically tough this out bc I don't like the appearance of the grey bar on the sides of the screen 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Unfortunately im only halfway thru the ex stages so I don't have a proper opinion of the event yet. But I've been casually playing with iberia and it's nice weedy is actually getting some mileage bc I've been using her cannon to constantly open cells 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 27/09/2026No waaay Iberia event launches on my bday :O As a gift, hg should give me a 5 star aegir. 2 years since path of life and I don't think I can live with the thought of a 3rd event with a 6 star aegir and no 5 star one 031
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Also damn I don't think I can look at prices online the same way anymore. Obvs I knew online is more expensive but I wasn't expecting it to be like double? Made me consider buying more things but I despise blind boxes and could hardly muster the energy to buy just one of them 020
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I'm back from my trip to Japan :o Animate and Yostar stores were pretty dry (or maybe I'm just picky) but this is my haul! Altho I don't think I'm keeping the Act or Die thingy bc it isn't what expected 120
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Ngl I didn't even realize chen was wearing pants. The shadow is so dark that I thought she was wearing black shorts with dark grey leggings 💀 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Fivefall girlies :3 Excluding uncredited and skins where the unit's base design isn't by fivefall bc u couldn't pay me to use chen's cop skin and kal's maid skin Zima took 30 pulls to get. Ukusik was 50. And I impulsively went for another pot of Zima which I got at 90 130
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 16/09/2026That's true. I got zimalt in 30 and ukusik in 50. Also I was hoping for an offrate ripresa and got a diff lanzi unit instead (new perfumeralt) 120
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It kinda gets tricky to read intent when ppl don't pick the main faction focused team. So yea it's definitely much nicer playing with ppl u know so everyone can clearly communicate what they intend to play 020
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 16/09/2026As an fyi, there's quite a couple main faction focused teams that aren't that great for the main faction. For instance, Kazi likes Emperor and Victoria likes Damatzi. Aegir also likes Damatzi, but Ermie and Pith are some other popular choices for it too. Kjerag sometimes likes Jessica 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Overall I don't mind playing with randos bc I just find myself weirdly amused and entertained at what I see out in the wild even if it causes my win-rate to be lower than I'd like. But also sometimes I see unique and cool strats that I wouldn't have considered before 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The most questionable player I've seen so far is someone who had a lvl 6 shop upgrade on r7 so I checked their board out and they picked Cannot strat and only had a Papyrus and 2 Matterhorns fielded. Ofc they died soon enough and was nothing but completely deadweight while they were around lol 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Don't forget the obligate mascara. But yea I don't consider those to be actual makeup lmao 010
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Also his skin is so pretty 😊 I think Figurino is the only guy who wears makeup and I love that he changes and coordinates it with different outfits 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yea same I love nicheknights for letting me approach stages in an unconventional and quirky way Glad to hear you're interested in Figurino! He's a regular in my squad bc s1 is a nice general use skill. S2 tends to need more planning but the payoff is nice 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 13/09/2026And if I actually have dp to spare then s2 is fun to run. So far I've only had a chance to use it once. Other niches that include him get to use s2 more bc they actually have vgs lol 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I think Figurino's kit is pretty solid with my only complaints being his talent should've been atk increase instead of dmg amp and the dp cost of his s2 is absurd lol. When playing fivefall, s1 has been the go to. Less dp strain and the infinite duration of the extended attack range feels good 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I like his visual design alot and thinking of a niche to include him in landed me on his illustrator Fivefall considering I'm also a big fan of valarqvin, jieyun and npcs such as aspasia, juana, and nene 110
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Apparently everyone was talking about m9s so here's mine. Iberia and Aegir ofc alongside LDA. Mantra and Horn are the odd ones out ig. Mantra is just bc she's Cool and Horn was a unit I regularly used during my early ak days 021
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I don't even care for tequila but i still voted for him bc of how ugly suzu dad is 💀. Almost everyone I thought was hot got eliminated in the first round and I'm aware my tastes aren't conventional but the results still have me like ?_? 020
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I should probably get footage of a successful run to show that this is functional (and fun!). Also surely it's a lobby with 3-4 ppl making it to the end. I'm so sad I failed them... 000
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Despite me going like ooh look at this cool stacking I did, I actually completely fumbled the positioning for the gun boss LOL. I should've faced surtr left bc the boss just lingered behind her the entire time orz 100
Akilsa @akilsa.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Obvs the issue with damazti is that, ultimately, it's rng. I lucked into an arcane circle pretty early but maybe next time I won't even see one at all. Also I never saw the aegir anchor item to turn someone like surtr into an aegir unit :/ 100
