Hi Keepers.

To sum up the purpose of this thread, it's like a "party clinic" where people can ask for help and discuss on possible teams for tackling U and U battles. This idea actually originated from /u/fattybomchacha and was brought up nearly 2 months ago to cope with the onset of U battles.

Will I be able to post my mastery clears in this thread?

Yes, you still may. However, we'd strongly suggest you to post them in the Ultimate Battle Survey being done by /u/jadesphere as this thread will be more towards providing help to players who fail to master U and U battles.

Where will I post the orb drops?

You may still post them here.

What is the objective of this thread?

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set him on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. That is what this thread's objective is based on. While the numerous guides and mastery reports provide a solid framework for players to plan their loadout, it'd be better if the players themselves create their own strategy to handle the fight themselves. Of course, these don't work out all the time and this thread aims to provide a platform for them to share their loadout and for the community to help optimise it. That way, the community and the player grows as a whole.

Can I rant about how Mako Cannon (or other variations of it) keep killing me in fights here?

Yes you may but please keep it to a minimum. Again, it's a place where help and consultation is given, not a place for airing grievances.

Will "Help me" threads be removed and all be gathered into this thread?

Only when the megathread is stickied. Otherwise, we won't remove them (as seen in the current Basch event).
