7 Essential Things To Know Before Taking A Personal Loan

When life's financial demands knock on your door, a personal loan can be a welcome solution.  It offers a lifeline to cover unforeseen expenses, seize opportunities, or achieve your aspirations.  But before you sign the dotted line, here are seven crucial things to consider – ensuring you embark on this financial journey fully informed and prepared. In this blog, we will explain the important factors that lead to a successful personal loan. Understanding the objective of your loan, your financial capability, interest rates, and hazards all influence your borrowing decisions.

7 Essential Things To Know Before Taking A Personal Loan   

1. Understand Your Purpose

Before you dive into the world of personal loans, be crystal clear about why you need the money. Are you consolidating debt, renovating your home, or starting a new venture? Understanding your purpose will help you determine how much you need and how the loan will align with your goals.  

2. Evaluate Your Finances

A personal loan is a financial commitment, and like any commitment, it's crucial to assess your current financial situation. Analyze your income, expenses, and existing debts. Ensure that you're comfortable with the additional monthly payments without straining your budget.  

3. Check Your Credit Score

Your credit score plays a pivotal role in loan approval and the interest rate you'll be offered. A higher score often translates to better terms. Take a moment to review your credit report, address any discrepancies, and work on improving your score before applying.  

4. Explore Lender Options

Don't settle for the first lender that comes your way. Research various lenders – traditional banks, credit unions, and online platforms. Compare personal loan interest rates, fees, and customer reviews to find the best fit for your needs. Remember, different lenders may have different eligibility criteria.  

5. Know the Interest Rates and Fees

Interest rates are a critical factor in the cost of your loan. Understand whether the loan offers a fixed or variable rate, and how it will impact your monthly payments. Additionally, be aware of any origination fees, prepayment penalties, or other charges associated with the loan.  

6. Read the Fine Print

As enticing as the loan offer may be, don't skim over the terms and conditions. Carefully read the fine print to comprehend repayment terms, late payment policies, and any potential consequences of defaulting on the loan. Transparency is key to a successful borrowing experience.  

7. Have a Repayment Plan

A personal loan is a commitment you'll need to honor. Have a solid repayment plan in place. Consider creating a budget that outlines how you'll manage the loan payments along with your other financial responsibilities. Staying on top of payments will not only help you avoid penalties but also positively impact your credit score.

What To Consider Before Taking Out A Personal Loan  

Personal loans can provide the financial boost you need, whether it's for an important expense or to consolidate debts. However, before you sign on the dotted line, consider these crucial factors to ensure you're making the right decision for your financial future.  

1. Purpose of the Loan: Define why you need the loan. Is it for a specific purchase, emergency, or debt consolidation? Having a clear purpose helps you determine the loan amount and select the right type of loan.  

2. Your Financial Situation: Assess your income, expenses, and existing debts. Can you comfortably manage the monthly payments without straining your budget? Ensure that the loan aligns with your financial capacity.  

3. Interest Rates and Fees: Understand the interest rate and any associated fees. Higher interest rates can significantly increase the overall cost of the loan. Compare rates and shop around for the best deal.  

4. Repayment Terms: Review the repayment schedule. How long will it take to pay off the loan? Longer terms may result in smaller monthly payments but higher overall interest costs.  

5. Impact on Credit Score: Taking on additional debt can affect your credit score. Consider how a new loan might impact your creditworthiness and ability to secure future credit.  

6. Alternative Solutions: Explore other options before committing to a loan. Can you save up for the expense or find other sources of funding that don't involve borrowing?  

7. Read the Fine Print: Carefully review the terms and conditions of the loan agreement. Understand late payment penalties, prepayment options, and any potential consequences of defaulting.  

8. Future Financial Goals: Consider how the loan fits into your long-term financial goals. Will it hinder your ability to achieve other objectives, such as buying a home or saving for retirement?  

9. Emergency Fund: Ensure you have an emergency fund in place before taking out a loan. Having savings can provide a safety net in case unexpected expenses arise.  

10. Responsible Borrowing: Only borrow what you need and can afford to repay. Avoid the temptation of taking out a larger loan just because you're eligible for it.  

Understanding The Risks Of Taking Out A Personal Loan: What You Need To Know  

Personal loans can be a lifeline in times of financial need, offering a convenient way to address immediate expenses or achieve important goals.  

However, as with any financial decision, there are risks associated with taking out a personal loan that demand your careful attention. Before you embark on this borrowing journey, it's vital to grasp the potential pitfalls and implications. Let's delve deeper into these risks to ensure you make an informed choice.  

1. Debt Accumulation: The Dangers of Borrowing Beyond Your Means

While a personal loan can provide relief, borrowing more than you can comfortably repay can lead to a cycle of debt accumulation. Straining your finances to meet loan payments could result in financial stress, affecting your overall well-being and future financial stability.  

2. Interest Costs: The Impact of High-Interest Rates

Interest rates are a fundamental component of loans. High-interest rates can substantially elevate the total amount you repay over the loan's duration, making it more expensive in the long run. It's crucial to carefully assess the interest rates offered and their impact on your repayment obligations.  

3. Impact on Credit Score: Building or Damaging Your Financial Reputation

Timely loan repayments contribute to a positive credit history, improving your credit score. However, missed payments or defaulting on the loan can have the opposite effect, tarnishing your creditworthiness and limiting your access to future credit opportunities.  

4. Penalties and Fees: The Hidden Costs of Non-Compliance

Late payments and prepayment penalties can sneakily inflate the overall cost of your loan. Being aware of these potential fees helps you plan your repayment strategy and budget more effectively.  

5. Overborrowing: Balancing Financial Commitments

While it might be tempting to take out multiple loans, doing so can strain your financial resources. Managing numerous repayment obligations simultaneously can become overwhelming and may lead to difficulties in meeting your financial commitments.  

6. Temptation: The Allure of Easy Funds

The accessibility of loan funds may lead to unnecessary spending, diverting money away from essential financial goals. Resisting the urge to overspend is crucial to maintaining your financial discipline.  

7. Future Financial Goals: Loan Impact on Long-Term Plans

Committing to a loan may redirect funds from other crucial financial goals, such as saving for retirement or investing. It's essential to weigh the immediate benefits against the potential disruption to your broader financial objectives.  

8. Limited Flexibility: Boundaries on Fund Usage

Certain loans may restrict how you can use the borrowed funds. Being aware of these limitations ensures that the loan aligns with your intended purpose.  

9. Scams and Predatory Lenders: Safeguarding Your Financial Well-Being

Vigilance is essential when choosing a lender. Unscrupulous lenders may offer unrealistic terms or request upfront fees, putting you at risk of falling into financial traps.  

10. Stress: Navigating Financial Strain

Struggling with loan payments can lead to emotional and psychological stress. It's crucial to consider the potential mental toll that financial obligations can have on your overall well-being.

In Conclusion taking a personal loan can be a strategic move to bridge financial gaps, but it's a step that requires careful consideration.  By understanding your needs, evaluating your financial standing, and researching your options, you can confidently navigate the landscape of personal loans. Remember, responsible borrowing and proactive planning are your allies in ensuring a successful borrowing experience that propels you toward your goals.  

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Personal Loans  

Q1: How To Choose The Right Personal Loan For You?

A: Choosing the right personal loan involves considering factors such as your needs, financial situation, and terms. Assess your purpose for the loan, compare interest rates, evaluate fees, and ensure the loan aligns with your repayment capabilities.  

Q2: How To Compare Personal Loan Offers?

A: To compare personal loan offers effectively, focus on interest rates (APR), repayment terms, additional costs (fees), and loan amounts. By evaluating these factors from different lenders, you can make an informed decision.  

Q3: How To Negotiate A Lower Personal Loan Interest Rate?

A: Negotiating a lower interest rate involves researching current rates, highlighting your creditworthiness, shopping around for offers, and potentially considering a co-signer. Multiple offers can provide leverage for negotiating better terms.  

Q4: What Happens If You Default On Your Personal Loan?

Primary Role: DPS Secondary Role: DPS Support Situational Role: N/A

Ushiwakamaru is probably one of my favorite Servants in the game, which is fitting considering I grailed her not to long ago to Level 100. But I have to try and keep my favortism under wraps, since we're doing an analysis of her. She just got a buff on JP, so this is a pretty appropriate time to do so. She's not likely to get any more from here, not just on the account of having just got one, but also because she's pretty damn good as it is.

Starting off with her fundamentals, she does okay. She leans into an HP heavy, low ATK spread although her ATK is not TOO low so as to act as a limiter onto her damage. Her NP generation is fairly average on her Arts while disappointing on her Quicks and Extra, although this is pretty typical of launch Servants as a whole. Her star generation is...complicated due to her kit, but while she does have two quick cards and the ability to naturally make a QQQ chain with her NP, her very low hit counts hamper her extremely in creating critical stars. With no other factors, such as class modifiers and Overkill, her AQA chain will generate 29% of her NP gauge, while her AQQ chain will generate 22%, but also generate 11 crit stars. There's definitely been worse on the NP generation department.

Her first skill, Tengu Art of War, is very good. Not only is it a party wide NP generation buff, which is appreciated in many scenarios, but it is also a Quick buff for Ushiwakamaru, which makes her Quick cards not as bad at generating NP. Her AQA chain will generate 35% of her NP after this buff, which is a good bit faster than before. Her second skill, Six Secret Arts of War: Gale and Thunder, is not only a charisma boost to the party, but also provides a solid boost to crit damage and a good star bomb. This not only increased the potential ceiling on her damage, but also solved a notable problem on her kit, that being lackluster crit star generation. The ability to generate 20 stars after a QQQ chain is quite impressive, and will allow Ushi to guarantee crits usually, thanks to her very high base star absorption. Her third skill, Quick-Witted Swallow, is mostly notable for being a hard defensive option in the form of an Evasion buff, but it will also provide a large boost to her critical star generation. Critical star generation sounds like it would be a good solution to her critical star generation problems, but due to the way that the stat works, it ends up not being impactful. A 100% buff to crit star generation means that each hit is quaranteed to produce one star, which makes a bigger difference the more hits you have on your cards. It will allow her AQQ chain to generate 20 stars, making for an additional 9 stars, but it does not make a huge difference in the long, especially since it is a one turn buff on a skill with a much better buff.

Dan-no-Ura is a very simple NP, without much in the way of complicated effects. It will increase her critical star generation after dealing damage by a pretty solid amount, but unfortunately, due to her low hit counts, she can't make much use of it. This being said, it does make her QQQ chain a little better, since it will generate 26 crit stars without either skill up, 28 with her skill 1, and 33 with both her skill 1 and 2. This can be combined with her star bomb the next turn for a guaranteed 50 crit stars, but usually 33 crit stars will be satisfactory given the Rider class star absorption. Her NP as well will also deal about 56,000 damage with her steroids active, meaning that you can't just ignore the damage output this NP can do either.

Support Options As usual with most Quick Servants, Skadi is a great support. She'll boost the raw damage of Ushi's NP and make her Quick crits more powerful. Unfortunately though, Skadi isn't really capable of generating the crit stars Ushi might want in order to consistently crit. Chiron is another good support as well, providing not only extra critical damage and stars, but also increased card performance. Columbus and Carmilla can also provide not only star bombs, but additional damage with their other skills. Bartholomew is also a good support for providing stars, crit damage, and the same buffs as Columbus. Cursed Arm can't provide extra damage, but can provide two 15 star bombs with one skill for additional consistency. Jinako and Himiko can also provide a lot of star regen with additional upsides: Jinako can function as a tank to take hits for Ushi, while Himiko can dramatically boost her crit damage. Finally, of course, Summer BB not only provides stars, but also locks Ushiwakamaru's cards in for a lot of guaranteed damage.

Outside of crit support, she enjoys the standard damage supports, and might also appreciate healing depending on the fight, since she'll want to keep her hard defensive option for enemy NPs.

Command Codes Ushi is pretty simple to use, just load her up with a lot of damage command codes that either boost general damage, NP damage, or critical damage. CCs that provide critical stars can also be useful in helping to make her turns without her crit star bomb more consistent.

Craft Essences Ushi's decent NP generation means that what Craft Essence you use on her is largely going to depend on the team you build around her. If you use supports like Skadi and Waver, she can get away with running pure damage CEs, such as Imaginary Around, the Black Grail, and others. If you're going to run with supports that buff her crit damage and increase her consistency with crit stars, a 50% NP charge CE will likely be good so she can quickly reach her NP. The Princesses' Pilgramage, True Crimson Spear Trainer, and Summer Time Mistress are notable for being focused on the type of effects Ushiwakamaru wants most.

Competition Discussing where Ushiwakamaru falls in terms of competition means comparing her to not only other ST Quick Riders, but also other ST Riders of her rarity. In terms of ST Quick, she's pretty middle of the line: better than Riders such as Red Hare and Anne & Mary, but worse than Maid Alter and definitely Sakata Kintoki. But she's not notably worse than Maid Alter, which is surprising. When compared to other 3-star and lower Riders, she tends to blow them out of the water in terms of offensive capabilities, with the exception of Mandricardo. Mandricardo can't hope to match her crit damage, but he comes packed with an Arts NP that in many comps will refund a lot of his NP gauge: his potential for looping means he might end up doing more damage than Ushiwakamaru regardless. Despite this though, she's a 3-star Rider who punches above her rarity.

Pros: -Decent NP generation allows her to get to her NP fairly quickly, especially with her skills up and crits -Very strong damage dealer for her rarity, having a strong NP and good crit damage -Hard survival skill allows her to tank enemy NPs

Cons: -Pretty low star generation lowers her crit consistency and keeps her ceiling lower than one might expect -Card damage without crits is often low enough to be noticeable -All of her skills have effects that can clash with each other

How is Ushiwakamaru overall? Honestly, for a long time she was a pretty good Servant, having the ability to deal pretty sizable damage and being a good Rider for newer and budget players to raise. Her new buff only solidifies her position, making her hit a lot harder. She's not perfect; she's not quite as consistent as one might like, which leads to her damage being concentrated in a couple of burst turns, but she's won't disappoint in being a main, or even sub DPS.

She's very good. Send tweet.

And for a little bit of fun, check out her damage at Level 70, 1k fous, 10/10/10, with a Level 100 True Crimson Spear Trainer, two 10/10/10 Bartholomew Roberts, and a Level 10 Captain Chaldea Mystic Code against a Caster. Only one of those things is not budget!

Analysis

Between sky-high Atk, guaranteed doubles, dual-type effective damage, and the ability to increase movement, Duo!Ephraim takes the cake as one of the most powerful melee threats in FEH.

A vast majority of D!Ephraim’s potency can be attributed to Reginleif, as it provides multiple effects perfect for D!Ephraim’s role. By providing him with guaranteed follow-up attacks, he can make the most of his high damage without having to rely on high Spd. Meanwhile, effectiveness against armored enemies makes it far easier for Ephraim to ORKO bulky armors he may otherwise struggle with, and while cavalry units generally aren’t too bulky, dealing effective damage makes for less risky fights regardless. Having cooldown reduction is also always a welcome bonus.

By increasing his movement, D!Ephraim’s Duo Skill also helps him initiate from safer distances and can be especially helpful if using Galeforce or dancers, as his extended movement can then be utilized with every action that turn. It also serves as solid support in the rare case that D!Ephraim can’t engage or if being used as an Arena core team unit.

Needless to say, D!Ephraim outclasses a number of pre-existing lance units, notably the default Ephraim: Restoration Lord, whose Siegmund is really only capable providing guaranteed doubles, lacking the additional bonuses of D!Ephraim in addition to having inferior stats overall. D!Ephraim even boasts workable Def, only 1 less than that of Lukas: Sharp Soldier, a unit known for his exceptional defensive potential. If desired, D!Ephraim can thus be built defensively in a similar manner to units like Lukas and perform virtually just as well; with Reginleif’s guaranteed doubles in either phase, D!Ephraim may even function much like a typical armored unit without the movement restriction.

D!Ephraim prefers a boon/asset in Atk (superboon). His preferred banes/flaws are Spd (superbane), HP (superbane), and Res.

Builds

Budget/Low Investment:

Ephraim’s base kit functions perfectly with Ephraim’s niche and does not require any changes. Heavy Blade 4 both allows for more frequent Special activations and true damage per hit. Though Glimmer is normally more applicable than Draconic Aura, pairing a 2-cooldown Special with a -1 CD weapon makes Special acceleration from Heavy Blade redundant. Luna or Sol are other Special options to be considered, the former for getting through high defenses and the latter for sustaining Ephraim as he already deals high damage anyway without Specials. Lull Atk/Def and Odd Atk Wave further decrease the odds of his opponents being able to tank his hits. Using Chill Def makes it easier for Ephraim and his allies to fight high-Def enemies, though any Sacred Seal capable of increasing his damage output will serve him greatly, ideally focusing on the player phase.

Ephraim can also use Desperation to initiate without the danger of taking counterattacks. Death Blow and Sturdy Blow increase his Atk in the player phase by +10. Brazen skills can also be used to synergize with Desperation.

Player Phase:

As aforementioned, Galeforce is especially powerful on Ephraim, enabling him to take out multiple units per turn. As long as Ephraim lands two hits, Reginleif and Heavy Blade make it possible for him to fully charge and activate Galeforce in one combat. Since this build relies heavily on hitting twice, Null Follow-Up helps maintain consistency against enemies with skills that would otherwise deny Ephraim’s follow-ups. Although it may be strange, this also means that Ephraim should be careful not to do too much damage, as OHKO’s won’t activate Galeforce, so stacking up Ephraim’s damage output should be avoided with this buil, though he still needs high Atk to reliably pass both Reginleif and Heavy Blade’s Atk checks.

Ephraim’s incredible Atk can also be used for incredibly high damage with AoE Specials. Life and Death 4 maximizes Ephraim’s visible Atk for the Special’s damage to scale upon, while Special Spiral provides 2 cooldown charge after each use of the Special. As Reginleif reduces the cooldown to 3 and Ephraim will attack at least once after activating the AoE Special, this build thus makes the Special fully charged for every initiation after the first use. Hardy Bearing prevents enemies from retaliating with Vantage effects between the AoE damage and Ephraim’s actual hit.

Using Fury to inflict recoil damage can be effective in activating skills that rely on lower HP like Desperation and Brazens, both of which can make Ephraim that much more threatening. Wrath is another option for this playstyle and can even be paired with Noontime/Sol for sustain.

Enemy Phase:

By combining Distant Counter and Vantage, Ephraim can become significantly more difficult to deal with due to his high damage per hit, essentially forcing opponents to either OHKO/ORKO him or be able to tank a hit from him once he’s damaged, the latter being exceptionally difficult. A Brazen Sacred Seal makes him even harder to tank once within Vantage’s HP threshold.

Ephraim can also be used as a physical tank, stacking his Def with Steady Stance skills. Since Reginleif can take the place of Quick Riposte usually used with a build like this, Ephraim’s B Slot is left open and can be filled with a wide range of options, though his default Lull Atk/Def works fine and notably helps pass Reginleif’s Atk check. With Reginleif’s cooldown reduction, Ephraim can proc Ignis every fight assuming his opponent doubles and he can double back.

Arena Core:

The Duel effect provided with being a Duo Hero in addition to his movement buff from his Duo Skill makes Ephraim a prime option for the Arena. The skills shown in this build are chosen mostly for their SP costs and are flexible.

My Black Mirror Episode Rankings

One of the great things about Black Mirror is how varied your experience with the show will inevitably be compared to others, in terms of which episodes you connected greater with. My opinions are always shifting and changing with rewatches and with time to reflect.

That being said, here’s my spoiler free personal ranking of every episode of Black Mirror so far from least to most favourite (up to “Bandersnatch”):

20. The Waldo Moment

Still better than the majority of television out there with some clever concepts, this installment lacked truly engaging characters and at times felt too satirical to be plausible.

19. Men Against Fire

Similarly to The Waldo Moment, this episode suffered from underwritten leads and felt overly reliant on a twist, which is disappointingly obvious considering how well the show executed twists elsewhere.

18. Arkangel

I love a lot of things about Arkangel (including Rosemarie DeWitt’s underrated and amazing performance) but was slightly let down by the bizarre casting of Brenna Harding as a 15 year-old Sara as she looks at least 25, dulling the impact. It also skims over a potentially interesting debate about censorship during child development and instead goes with a fairly bland ending with a jarring sudden tone shift that feels dark for the sake of it.

17. Black Museum

Letitia Wright is the bright spot in an otherwise frustrating episode. It feels like a poor imitator of White Christmas and copies lots from its predecessor, it’s concepts feeling either recycled from better episodes or not delved deep enough into. That said it’s one of the most darkly funny installments and has lots of fun with its setup.

16. Playtest

Something about the way Playtest wrapped up left me wanting either a more simplified or more knowingly trippy ending. Other than that this is a solid episode with a great sense of atmosphere and dread.

15. The Entire History Of You

An episode that I often hear is amongst people’s favorites, I’ve never been fully thrilled by this early episode. Its central concept is one of the most eerily plausible and there’s a strong ensemble of actors however in my opinion it comes across as paint-by-numbers in comparison to other episodes.

14. The National Anthem

From this point all the episodes are amongst my favourites and ranking them was highly difficult. Iconic 👏🏻 episode 👏🏻. Once you’ve seen it however it does feel a lot less impressive than some of Black Mirror’s later hits, but is still a great starting point for the show and peak satire.

13. Crocodile

With a mixed reception on release, I think Crocodile is a lot better than the response to season 4 would have you believe, working better as a grounded thriller than a parable on technology. Its two central characters were beautifully conceived and played by Andrea Riseborough and Kiran Sonia Sawar (one to watch out for in the future). Recalling shocking moments from Breaking Bad at times, its bleak tone and gradually increasing tension left me severely shaken up and I actually quite enjoyed the controversial final twist.

12. Hated in the Nation

Whilst veering slightly too harshly into implausibility at times, I loved the Luther-esque police drama format and theming of this episode. Kelly MacDonald is a delight and the debate over twitter witchhunts has only become more potent since its release.

11. Hang the DJ

Joe Cole and Georgina Campbell are surely headed for great things, their effortless chemistry making this one of the most satisfying and enjoyable entries, in what feels like Black Mirror’s take on “The Lobster”. Also bonus points for an ending that leaves you unsure how to feel about what you’ve just seen.

10. Shut Up And Dance

Another episode that became an instant classic, Shut Up and Dance (led brilliantly by Alex Lawther) is a throwback to the gritty Channel 4 vibe of the pre-Netflix era. It goes out of its way to be as upsetting as possible, only heightened by the fact that the technology exists for this to occur in this very day and age. It’s final revelation and scene set to “Exit Music (For A Film)” is chilling stuff.

9. Metalhead

An episode I love that the majority seem to hate, I adore the stripped back quality to this episode, in a season that kept trying to trick me with plot twists. Maxine Peake is wonderful as always, instilling incredible depth to a character that barely speaks and there was a powerful sense of tragedy, my heart breaking for the world we live in and the future that awaits us.

8. White Bear

Another staple episode, everything is perfectly judged and the writing is amongst the best the show has ever done. Arguably the most memorable episode and one that demands you to discuss it afterward.

7. Be Right Back

This episode feels truly unique amongst the Black Mirror cannon, an intimate portrait of grief with some unsettling technological twists. Hayley Atwell and Domhnall Gleason give performances at home amongst “awards movies” and the episode is painfully grounded.

6. Bandersnatch

This interactive episode will inevitably create varied opinions based on each audience member’s experience. Personally, I was profoundly shaken at seeing my choices occur on screen and felt horribly guilty and twisted for what occurred as a result, as the choices became increasingly higher stakes. It also helped that I saw the ending that I believe was most satisfying as a conclusion thematically (the ending with an epilogue in the present day). That said, this episode is also amazing fun to rewatch and discover new strands which vary from hilarious to heart wrenching. Also Fionn Whitehead and Will Poulter are incredible for nailing multiple character arcs at once.

5. San Junipero

So well-made that it’s incredible to believe it’s part of the same low budget series that premiered on channel 4 less than 10 years ago, San Junipero feels monumental. Smart, funny, moving, nostalgic and troubling all at once, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Mackenzie Davis have created characters that are instant icons.

4. Fifteen Million Merits

Whilst the world freaked out over Daniel Kaluuya’s breakout role in Get Out in 2017, those of us who had seen him in this unsettling early episode already knew this was an actor capable of incredible power and emotion. There is something pervadingly disturbing about the shallow world presented in this dystopian episode, where pop-up ads and virtual currency are creepily merged with daily life. Highly upsetting and highly recognizable, in other words, highly Black Mirror.

3. White Christmas

For a long time the epitome of Black Mirror, White Christmas ticks every box: plausible yet unsettling future technological advancements, empathetic and interesting characters and a tricksy, twisty plot with sudden sharp turns. This episode will always hold a special place in my heart and was my unbeaten favourite until the Netflix era came about...

2. USS Callister

The teaser clips for this episode made me cringe: Black Mirror doing a retro sci-fi themed episode? What I didn’t expect at all was to be confronted by an excellent deconstruction of the “nerd who deserves the girl” narrative or an equally fun and creepily prescient tale of toxic masculinity, gamer culture and male abuse of power.

1. Nosedive

I was not ready for this episode. Not only my favourite Black Mirror episode so far, Nosedive is in my opinion one of the greatest modern science-fiction stories ever committed to screen, nailing the harmful social media culture we pretend isn’t there with devastating clarity. It’s interesting to read that Charlie Brooker was intending for Nosedive to be lighter and inspired by sitcoms when I found it to be one of the more excruciating episodes to sit through. The falseness and shallowness of the society presented is one I can see myself wishing for on Instagram, Lacey’s unfair self-criticism something I relate strongly to. This episode calls for a re-evaluation of our values and of our priorities in life and does so with a beautifully shot and scored (shout-out to Max Richter) tragedy of manners with a cathartic ending that struck me in a deep emotional place. I am so glad this episode exists and I could watch it over and over again.

It’s been an incredible 20 episodes of television and I can’t wait to see what else the creative writers and film makers are coming up with for season 5 later this year.

Analysis

Julia makes her debut as a Legendary Hero with a quite similar niche to her original version, coming with the perfect tools and stats to unload high magic damage and tank enemy magic damage, however, this time with superior stats and as a blue tome unit. If nothing else, L!Julia also boasts the highest Atk stat of available mages at 39 neutral Atk, tied with the recently released Hubert: Sinister Servant, but unlike Hubert also has an Atk superboon for a potential 43 base Atk. On a measure of stats alone, L!Julia more than outperforms a great majority of the other mages that compete with her, so her additional utility makes her an excellent unit through and through.

L!Julia serves as an excellent nuke and magic tank, and her unique skills, Virtuous Naga and Light and Dark, only makes her even greater at these roles.  By passing a visible Atk check, which Julia can do fairly easily with her sky-high base Atk and 17 Mt weapon, Virtuous Naga grants L!Julia an additional +6 Atk and Res in combat. On top of this, Light and Dark reduces her opponents’ stats all by -2, which can also be thought of as L!Julia having +2 to all stats. With both skills in effect, Julia effectively has 64 Atk and 44 Res, going up to 70 Atk and 54 Res in the player phase with Mirror Impact. This of course makes L!Julia a superb counter to enemy mages, especially since Light and Dark helps shut down blade tome mages with its null effect, and with the combination of Virtuous Naga’s dragon effective damage and Light and Dark’s adaptive damage immunity, L!Julia is also perfect for dealing with enemy dragons much like her default iteration.

Of course, as powerful as L!Julia’s base kit and playstyle may be, there are many mage builds that complement her incredible Atk very well, including blade tome, raven tome, Close Counter, and AoE spam builds.

L!Julia prefers boons/assets in Atk and Res. Her preferred banes/flaws are Def and Spd.

Builds

Budget/Low Investment:

As described in the Analysis section above, Julia thrives with even just her base kit, with Atk/Res Oath allowing her to buff her two key stats regardless of her team composition.

Glimmer is much more preferred over Dragon Fang with its lower cooldown, and with Julia’s high damage potential, a Dragon Fang proc provides little more value than Glimmer. Using the Attack +3 Sacred Seal helps Julia pass Virtuous Naga’s Atk check by raising her visible Atk. Sacred Seals that either boost Julia’s Atk, Res, or both are also effective options.

Light and Dark’s stat penalties make Julia a better fighter all around, and using Fury can further improve on that strength while also increasing her visible Atk. Quick Riposte helps Julia ORKO mages in the enemy phase as even with her high Atk, many high Res mages will survive one of her attacks anyway.

Anti-Magic Wall:

With Light and Dark countering what are arguably the two strongest magic threats, blade tomes and dragons, Julia makes for a perfect magic wall.

The first build stacks Warding Stance in the A and Sacred Seal slots for a total of +14 Res in the enemy phase, or effectively +22 with Virtuous Naga and Light and Dark for 58 Res total unbuffed. With Warding Stance 4′s Guard effect on top, this makes Julia nearly impenetrable by most magic damage sources by preventing her opponents from piercing through her Res with special procs. Iceberg in turn provides Julia with bursts of 28 bonus damage in the enemy phase or 21 in the player phase.

The second build stacks Atk/Res Bond instead for usage in both phases, and its playstyle also cooperates with Atk/Res Oath quite well. Effectively gaining +20 Atk and Res, this build makes Julia an excellent mage duelist, with Noontime to offset any damage that she does manage to take.

Offensive:

For both builds for this section, Virtuous Naga can be replaced with Blárblade+ for different results.

The first build is more focused on initiating safely so that Julia can attack and chip a wide variety of enemies. With Light and Dark covering Julia’s bases against magic enemies, Sturdy Impact and Sturdy Blow help Julia attack physical enemies without having to worry as much as she normally would about being taken out by counterattacks. Sturdy Impact’s secondary effect means that she only has to worry about surviving one counterattack at a time, unless her target has a skill like Null Follow-Up. Of course, Julia would ideally OHKO her opponent with an effective 78 Atk in the player phase. This playstyle also allows Julia to run skills like Smoke skills or Savage Blow as she can safely apply them on initiation.

The second build is much more focused on ORKOing and also combines Fury and Light and Dark for solid all-around stats. Although Julia may not be particularly fast, she can still reach a respectable Spd value with the right skills. In this case, Brazen Atk/Spd and Light and Dark give Julia the potential to reach an effective 44 Spd, which will only be even better with more investment and support.

Special Spam:

For both builds for this section, Virtuous Naga can be replaced with Blárblade+ for different results.

Julia’s high Atk also makes her great for Special spam builds that abuse Special Spiral to constantly barrage enemies with heavy Special damage.

The first build makes use of Glimmer’s low cooldown to allow Julia to proc it on every single initiation from the very start of a battle. Although normally Special Spiral may take a few turns to set up its momentum, by using Time’s Pulse and Quickened Pulse together, Julia can fully charge Glimmer from the get-go, and then fully recharge it on each proc with Special Spiral. Combining these 4 skills essentially gives Julia a constant +50% damage boost, which is especially deadly with Virtuous Naga and Death Blow 4 boosting her Atk by +14 for 74 Atk in the player phase.

The second build uses an AoE special instead, with Special Spiral and Heavy Blade to repeatedly charge it. Life and Death is used to provide maximum visible Atk for her AoE special to scale off of.

Close Counter:

For both builds for this section, Virtuous Naga can be replaced with Blárblade+ for different results.

Julia can of course also use her high Atk for Close Counter builds to sweep enemies in the enemy phase.

The first build is more focused on Julia’s anti-dragon playstyle using Light and Dark. Since there may very well be cases where Julia can’t OHKO a particularly bulky dragon in the player phase, likely green dragons, this build allows her to deal with them in a more favorable enemy phase instead, where she can use Quick Riposte to secure ORKOs. Sol helps her stay healthy and within Quick Riposte’s HP threshold.

The second build is for more general use to OHKO large groups of enemies with Vantage. Virtuous Naga and Brazen Atk/Res boost Julia’s Atk to 73, and Res Smoke softens up such groups of enemies.

Misc:

Julia can also use her high Atk for a raven tome build. Using Blárraven+ and Triangle Adept, Julia has little to fear from most red and colorless enemies, with Steady Stance to help protect her from physical enemies and Light and Dark improving her dueling capability in general.

Julia’s legendary Duel effect makes her a good Arena core unit without having to lose her A Slot to a Duel skill, and with B Duel Infantry not yet being an option anyway, this gives Julia a unique niche. Julia can make good use of Ploy skills with her high Res, although running a max SP C Skill like Hone Atk 4 very slightly improves her scoring compared to dual Ploys. Aside from Atk Ploy, the shown skills are all chosen for their high SP costs for scoring.

Best Gaming Laptop Under 300

Gaming Laptop Buying Guide 8 Important Buying Tips

Gaming laptops are great for dedicated gamers with mobile lifestyles, ranging from college students hoping to play Gears 5 anywhere on campus to businesspeople who want to place their Wall Street bets and play Forza Horizon 4 all during a train commute. Whatever uses you have planned for your machine, there are a lot of intricacies to laptop gaming, so do your research.

We've whipped up this handy-dandy guide, so you'll know all the important ins and outs of your prospective machine before you hit the buy button. From advice on choosing between SSDs and HDDs to insider scoops on where to find the best prices on gaming laptops, here are some essential tips for finding the right gaming notebook for you.

Pick the best GPU for you

Without getting too technical, here's the skinny about GPUs: They accelerate your machine's creation of images. Because games pump out a metric ton of images, getting a laptop with a dedicated GPU is important. We recommend most gamers consider a laptop armed with a GTX 1060, which offers more than enough horsepower to handle modern AAA games like Control and Devil May Cry 5 at a price that won't force you to sell a kidney. Weaker but cheaper, GTX 1050-equipped laptops can be a solid option as well.

If you're only interested in playing indie, visually minimalistic or older (i.e., Xbox 360-era) games, you'll probably be able to scrape by with a low-end integrated graphics card like the UHD 620. But I prefer AMD APUs like Ryzen 3 3200U, because they have a higher base clock and a higher amount of VRAM. On the flip side of that, if you're feeling like J. Paul Getty and have all the money in the world, you might want to check out machines with the RTX 2080, the GPU currently at the top of the geek pyramid. The 2080 is a monster, built to handle 4K resolutions, ultra-graphics settings and fancy features like real-time ray tracing at 60+ frames per second.

Get a clue about RAM and CPU

Your CPU handles a lot of game-related calculations, like physics and AI. Therefore, you'll need a great CPU to match your GPU, because if either component is weak, it'll bottleneck the other one and stymie performance.

In general, bigger numbers mean better performance with CPUs, so if you can afford to get an Intel Core i7 CPU over a Core i5, go for it. Core i3s aren't going to play nice with flashy modern games, so avoid those. Every CPU has a clock speed, and again, bigger numbers are better. A processor with a 3.3-GHz clock speed will outperform one that reaches 2.2 GHz. As for the number of CPU cores, aim for quad-core or above, since dual-cores aren't as capable in gaming. Regarding RAM, make sure your prospective laptop has at least 8GB, since 4GB won't be enough for most major games.

AMD’s story is different. AMD generally provides great processing power on value. If your budget is low like $300, then I advise to go for AMD’s Ryzen 3 3200U based laptops. They provide batter performance than 10th gen Ice Lake processors. As for RAM, the more the RAM, the better the performance in case of AMD.

SSD vs. HDD: Who wins?

The only thing you need to know about SSDs and HDDs is that SSDs are generally a bit more expensive and can load your games way faster than HDDs. If you can find a laptop in your price range with an SSD, aim for that.

MORE: Best Gaming Laptops 2019

If the laptops you're ogling have only HDDs, it's not the end of the world; things will just be a bit slower. Either way, make sure your prospective laptop packs at least 1TB of storage (1,024 gigabytes), because game installations are getting fatter by the day. Seriously, Rainbow Six Siege sucks up over 70 gigabytes by itself.

Size matters

If you're looking to game on the go, get a laptop that's backpack friendly. Look for a screen size of 14 inches or less for maximum portability. Also check the weight, because lugging around laptops weighing over 5 pounds can be a chore. Razer has some hot-off-the-press thin-and-tiny gaming laptops if you're in the market for mobility.

Alternatively, if you don't plan to move your laptop around much get a 10-plus-pound, 15.6-inch or 17.3-inch foldable gaming tank like the aptly named MSI GT75 Titan. The main benefit of this kind of laptop, beyond just the bigger screen, is that it will tend to come with much stronger hardware. And with that extra muscle, you can game with unlimited power (Palpatine, 2005).

Display your way

Read reviews on which laptops have the richest, most vibrant displays if that's a big deal to you. And remember you'll likely be getting a 1080p screen if you don't plan on shelling out more than $1,500 to reach the 4K price zone. Touch screens also increase costs, but they aren't necessary for lots of people, so avoid models with those screens if you want to save cash.

MORE: Best Laptops of 2019

Keep an eye out for laptops that support Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync, both of which mitigate the screen tearing that happens when your computer produces images at a rate that's out of sync with your display's refresh rate. G-Sync and FreeSync aren't must-have technologies, but they are useful if you want to avoid potential distortions on your screen when playing games.

Be careful about brands

The big-name gaming-laptop brands all charge a premium for laptops with their logos, so be wary of spending more for less just because a manufacturer is popular. It's not hard to find some very solid gaming laptops for under $1,000, if you can live without a cute Alienware symbol on the shell of your machine. For instance, Acer offers a good value with its GTX 1650-equipped Nitro 5, and Asus also provides a respectable budget selection.

With that said, costly brands like Alienware, Razer and MSI do offer some unique products at the highest echelons of laptop gaming. So, consider those brands if you're looking for maximum power and flashiness and want to draw out any robbers in a 50-mile radius.

Where to buy gaming laptops

Lots of retailers won't hesitate to charge you more than you should be paying for a gaming laptop, but there are a few good ones that'll help spare your piggy bank. Best Buy usually keeps its prices competitive. Another great option for low prices and top-tier buyer protection (insurance, refund policies, etc.) is Amazon. Newegg is good for saving on gaming laptops, too, in rare instances.

And never rule out eBay. If you're sharp, eBay can offer tremendous discounts unlike anything else on the internet. Just make sure the laptop is new-in-box and the seller has 100% positive feedback, and you could save a small fortune. Be sure to also check out our always-updated guide to the best laptop deals available.

Know the risks

Gaming laptops are risky business. Example: If your GPU dies, you're going to have a hell of a time replacing it, compared to if you had a traditional gaming desktop and could easily swap out graphics cards. Similarly, laptops are harder to upgrade and tend to be more expensive than equally powerful desktops, due to their smaller, custom components. And if you're thinking about a 17-inch, tank laptop, a small monitor and gaming desktop might also fit your needs and will almost definitely be a better financial value overall. Think hard about if a gaming laptop is the best choice for you.

MORE: Best Gaming Monitor - Budget, G-Sync and 4K Monitors

That about sums up the biggest items to be aware of when scouting for a gaming laptop, but here are a few more tips before you go:

Avoid refurbished laptops. Typically, the tiny savings are nowhere near enough to offset the risks of buying a machine that was once unusable.

For laptop gaming, buy an Xbox controller (the default for most PC games) or a gaming mouse. Playing with just a laptop's touchpad is tough.

Laptop speaker audio is never going to be great, even though MSI and Alienware machines have proprietary software tricks built to mask that. Just invest in a headset or computer speakers if you care about getting the richest audio experience.

And there you have it! Take all this knowledge with you on your laptop search, and odds are you'll wind up with a solid gaming laptop that matches your budget and expectations. If you have a budget of $300, then  see available Best gaming laptops under $300.

Comparison

Who Would Gain If A Battle Broke Out?

Without a doubt the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) - four of the world's largest emerging economies, possess substantial financial and purchase potential, specifically within the technology market. India also has some modern land gear, and is usually currently investing billions of its new money into thousands of pieces of new artillery. This will include a fleet of Arjun MK-II third-generation fight tanks. Brazil provides contemporary weapons, very much of which was bought from the USA, the world's biggest arms exporter. It's most extolled land weapon is usually its almost 400-strong fleet of German-made Leopard 1 tanks that it acquired in comparison.

Like Russia, the U.Beds. Section of Business also splits the U.Beds. into nine under the radar locations for bureaucratic reasons. What stands out in the map over is normally that while the U.Beds. certainly provides locations that accounts for a better talk about of the U.Beds. overall economy, general, financial activity is normally very much even more spread away. The Southeast area, also without Texas, in fact adds the most to total GDP. The Mideast and the Much Western world are not really considerably in back of. New York Town is normally the U.S.' largest, and its greater metropolitan area comprises about 7 percent of the country's total GDP. But that pales in comparison to the outsized role Moscow plays in the Russian economy.

As destructive as the past distortion of intelligence has been, the Obama CIA's apparent interference in an attempt to invert the result of a U.T. presidential selection probably rates with the most severe cleverness scandals in U.T. background. And, compounding the CIA's politics intervention can be the truth that this controversy has taken on a life of its own as the Obama administration prepares to hit nuclear-armed Russia with a combination of new financial sanctions and covert cyber-attacks, evidently with the objective of planning off any rapprochement between Putin and Trump.

Chennedy provides been a spark off the seat. She's certainly a scorer, and when we required a container, that's who we had been heading to, placing the ball in her hands and allowing her make stuff happen. Tyasha acquired been solid. Hindsight is normally generally 20/20. When you possess a player like her and you put her on the counter - she got a little exhausted and we had taken her out to relax her and don't place her back again in. Certainly, hindsight is normally 20/20. She should have got most likely been on the flooring later in the video game. That's something that I'll second-guess carrying out.

Wartime allies by necessity, capitalist America has little in common with the various communist satellite states and countries that make up the Russian empire, the Soviet Union. Both ideologies try to export their belief system to others and view with suspicion any, and every, effort by the other. The American multibillion money financial and military help deal designed to rebuild European countries, the 1948 Marshall Program, is certainly noticed by the Soviets as an attempt to both control the rise of communist actions and, make marketplace conditions suitable for American exports which, in substance, it is usually.

A 2010 research by the American Meteorological Society is usually the first contemporary attempt to assess these results. In their survey, they monitored the results of 17 stratospheric smoke plumes in 2002. What they discovered is that the typical time the smoke plumes presence in the stratosphere was detectable, was only about 2 months. The statement indicates that particles of carbon soot start to clump together at some stage after communicating with sunlight and after that drop out of the stratosphere quickly. 75 This occurs in weeks not really in years, a main contradiction to the premise of nuclear wintertime hypotheses. What is normally not really known is normally now there a tipping stage of equilibrium that would keep the soot aloft if there was plenty of of it. So like many items, there is definitely a particular element of the unfamiliar in this.

Some other question marks for the game: will Ellis give time to either Jaelin Howell or Sophia Smith? Yes, they're young at 17 and 16 respectively, but Mal Pugh is 18 and doing fine. Plenty of national teams possess began adding teenagers into their squads. It depends probably on just how serious Ellis is usually about getting youth players started with the senior WNT beyond having them in camp to get them acclimated to the way the senior team does points. True, not everyone is usually Mallory Pugh, and it's not fair to toss kids into the lineup if they're not truly ready. We'll see.

It's somewhat unfortunate that international hockey guidelines provides a shootout after 10 mins of overtime, as most enthusiasts would recognize you could view this type video game all time longer. Nevertheless, it is certainly a shootout that we proceeded to go to, and it was almost simply because enjoyable as the rest of the video game. The five-hole appeared to end up being both goaltenders primary listlessness, as the bulk of the shootout goals proceeded to go between the hip and legs.

Actually in the post-unipolar instant, China and Russia stay competition instead of accurate companions. As a increasing power, China is normally attaining even more worldwide say and impact, while Russia appears to end up being shedding same, simply because was noticed at the latest APEC and G20 conferences in 2014. Although both countries are having their problems with the Western best right now, faster or later on stress will rise between them. Their anxious relations within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) suggest the potential for strategic and economic competition in Central Asia and the even deeper problem of their irreconcilable interests over regional domination.

Western companies continued to be bankrupt, compelling commotion and anarchy in many countries, and Uk helped some of the governments in backing their companies and reestablishing purchase. Portugal starts a gradual recovery after developing a short-term connections with Uk known as the Franco-German Alliance. Australia exceeded England as the largest economy in Europe and nearly triples the size of its army in 2017.

Russia has been increasing its troops deployment in the Middle East , which undoubtedly affects its permanently deficit-ridden budget, as well as the domestic politics. The best scenario for Russia would be a quick exit from the Syrian conflict, provided that the advances it has achieved would be bartered with the Western in exchange for normalising relationships with it.

What would be nice is if Ellis started that four with her last construction from the last video game: Casey Brief - Megan Oyster- Becky Sauerbrunn - Ali Krieger. That's a very nice four back with two good centers and two good fullbacks and it would be nice for left back Short to not be forced to shift inside, as Ellis had her do for a full half. It's good to know where players can fill in in a pinch, but it's even better to develop players at their natural position; see above re: Oyster.

More broadly, Moscow is signaling a long-term interest in extending its umbrella of anti-access area denial capabilities into the Middle East. The Russians reportedly are shipping some of their most advanced surface-to-air missile systems into Latakia, raising concerns within the Pentagon because that move operates counter top to Russia's statements of restricting the concentrate of its military activities to Syrian rebel groups like the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.

Although Mr. Ames's treachery was almost certainly the most damaging breach of U.S. intelligence since the Second World War - Moscow executed several operatives whom he had tricked - Washington's response was significantly much less serious than it would have got been in Soviet moments, or today. In the years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the administration of Costs Clinton, willing to motivate friendly relationships and reform, backed the brand-new federal government of Leader Boris Yeltsin. Before Mister. Lyskenko was informed to leave the country, the Americans even gave the Russians the option of voluntarily sending him back home.

Debt Relief Is Bound To Make An Impact In Your Business

Although most owners aspire to be debt-free, the majority are not putting their marbles for it. A recent Manulife Bank poll[i] discovered that three in four homeowners consider becoming or being debt-free to be among their highest financial priorities. That 75 percent figure holds (with only slight variation) across all age ranges surveyed, but only 50 % of those surveyed had been able to reduce their debt over the preceding 1 year.

Why so many Canadian homeowners struggling to lessen their debt?

Lack of knowledge could be part with the problem. Some Canadians never have taken some time to learn about the factors impacting remarkable ability to deal with minimizing their debt. For example:

One in three Canadians aged 30 to 39 isn't conscious interest is relatively low in comparison with historical norms. As a result, Canadians with this group could possibly be accepting more debt compared to what they could comfortably carry if interest ended up being to go back to historical norms most Canadians (85%) in most age groups are not conscious interest payment on non-registered investment loans are likely to be tax-deductible to in each and every three homeowners aren't sure what amount of downpayment they'd should avoid paying out mortgage insurance

While lack of info is certainly one part of concern, a gap between expectations and reality can be keeping us from paying sufficient care about our debt. The survey found out that 55 percent of Canadians aged 30 to 39 expect to get debt-free by age 50; however, only 17 percent inside 50 to 59 age bracket were debt-fee.

Why will there be such a gap the optimism in your youth and also the reality as we approach retirement? One reason might be a not enough willingness to ask about for help with regards to managing our debt. The survey discovered that no more than one in three Canadians have spoken to a advisor in the past year regarding their debt and day-to-day finances. As with other parts of life - just a little helpful advice can be quite a distance.

Strategies that may help you become debt-free

If you'd like to become debt-free but aren't sure where to begin, here are six ways of set you about the right path:

1. Live inside your means.

It seems obvious but few people take some time to ensure they're consistently conserving money than they earn. The solution is not hard - create a budget and stick for it. Then, periodically look at your income and expenses in order that you're spending within the limits you've set. A budget can help you distinguish between your 'needs' plus your 'wants' and in addition help you be sure that you're setting aside enough money to achieve your longer-term financial goals.

2. Plan for that unexpected

One with the biggest challenges for several Canadians looking to become debt-free is surely an unexpected expense or temporary income disruption. Remember that even which has a solid budget in place you will see unexpected challenges in the process. To avoid having these incidents throw your financial troubles-freedom plan off-track, you need to expect the unexpected. Build up an emergency fund you could tap into in the event you hit an approximate patch. Or, if your contingency plan involves short-term borrowing, ensure you've got easy access to some low-interest credit line so you are not forced to use high-interest bank cards. Finally, when everything is back to normal, turn it into a priority to replenish your urgent cash or repay your loan.

3. Account for rising rates of interest

Do guess what happens rates of interest you're paying on the various loans? Are the rates locked-in or variable? If you don't know the strategies to these questions, transform it into a priority to learn. Often variable rates are under fixed rates that may save a little money today. However, only consider variable rate loans in case you have some flexibility with your budget to absorb an boost in interest cost if interest rates rise. Fixed rates could be preferable appears to be increase in rates would cause you financial difficulty or undue stress. Recently, more Canadians are opting for loans that enable these phones divide their debt between fixed and variable rates to allow them to benefit from the best of all possible.

4. Be proactive to make debt repayment a priority

Just when you have a very 25-year mortgage does not mean you should take 25 years or so to pay them back. Almost all mortgages allow you to make extra payments, beyond what's required. Doing so could significantly slow up the length of time it takes for you personally to repay the mortgage and could save you significant interest. The same is true of almost all loans. If you want to become debt-free, convert it into a priority. Set a debt-reduction goal exactly the same you'd set a target for retirement savings after which challenge yourself to reach that goal by putting extra money toward your debt every month. To allow you to keep on track, produce a chart showing your actual debt in comparison with your main goal and update it regularly.

5. Consolidate your financial troubles

One of the easiest ways to relieve your credit card debt quickly is usually to consolidate everything at the deepest rate possible. Moving all of the debt to some single low-rate loan account doesn't just allow you to save interest, however it may also make it easier in your case to monitor simply how much debt you've got. And, knowing just how much total debt you might have at any given time is likely to make it easier to keep the debt-freedom plan on track.

6. Talk to your advisor in regards to a debt repayment plan that could work for you

Last, but certainly most famously, don't be afraid to speak about debt. Debt management is definitely an important part of your respective overall financial plan and your advisor can allow you to create and implement an idea for becoming debt-free sooner.

Most Canadians wish to be debt-free. The good news is that, by implementing these few simple strategies, you may be capable of become debt-free prior to you believe.

Five common mistakes Canadians make with debt

Staying using your original lender if the mortgage comes due, without shopping around to locate a mortgage that best meets your distinct needs maintaining multiple separate debts having a array of interest rates, Instead of consolidating one particular low rate failing to make extra home loan repayments, when more money can be acquired developing a long-term strategy for debt-freedomNeglecting to locate professional debt management advice.

Analysis

Following Kaden: Kitsune Braggart, Ranulf joins FEH as our second green cavalry beast. With great Spd and Def, Ranulf makes for an excellent player phase duelist able to initiate from a significant distance and withstand substantial physical damage. Even when Ranulf himself is unable to pick favorable fights, his supportive skills set ensures that he can contribute to his team, especially beast allies.

With 30/37 Atk and Spd, Ranulf’s offenses may seem underwhelming on paper; however, as a cavalry beast, it’s important to keep in mind that his Covert Cat Fang effectively grants +4 to his Atk (and defenses) in the player phase on top of 16 Mt while transformed. This makes him deceptively dangerous especially with his range as a cavalry unit while taking minimal physical damage with 40 effective Def. Covert Cat Fang also has the bonus of granting extra Atk and Def while near allies, which although can be difficult to utilize in the player phase allows him to function in the enemy phase without missing out on the extra damage and bulk from the transformed initiation bonus. Covert Cat Fang also disables enemy follow-ups in Ranulf’s player phase, meaning he can safely chip opponents even if they are significantly faster than him or have otherwise-threatening skills like Quick Riposte and Vengeful Fighter.

With Chill Atk, Rally Atk/Def+, and Ward Beasts on top of Covert Cat Fang’s Atk/Def Drive effect, Ranulf can significantly increase his allies’ effectiveness and survivability in combat. For instance, with all skills in use, he can grant the target ally a total of +9 Atk and +13 Def. Chill Atk helps weaken hard-hitting opponents and can potentially even prevent them from passing Atk checks from skills like Heavy Blade.

Ranulf prefers boons/assets in Atk, Spd, and Def. His preferred banes/flaws are Res (superbane) and HP.

Similar Units

Note: Ranulf is a beast cavalry unit. As such he will have access to uninheritable skills and is thus not directly comparable to most green cavalry units.

Kaden: Kitsune Braggart (38/32/36/25/25)

Ranulf: Friend of Nations (+2/-2/+1/+8/-7)

Note: Kaden has access to uninheritable skills and is thus is not directly comparable.

Marth: Altean Groom (40/31/36/30/20)

Ranulf: Friend of Nations (+0/-1/+0/+3/-3)

Laegjarn: New Experiences (38/32/35/35/17)

Ranulf: Friend of Nations (+2/-2/+2/-2/+0)

Nailah: Unflinching Eye (40/31/37/32/23)

Ranulf: Friend of Nations (+0/-1/+0/+1/-6)

Note: Nailah has access to uninheritable skills and is also a different movement type and is thus not directly comparable.

Builds

Budget/Low Investment:

Ranulf is very much ready to use with minimal investment thanks to his solid base kit. The first build uses Death Blow and Darting Blow to increase his player phase offensive power since he will mostly want to be initiating attacks as a cavalry beast. While transformed, Ranulf will effectively have 56 Atk and 43 Spd on initiation unsupported, or 59 Atk while within 2 spaces of an ally, which is plenty to allow him to make quick work of anything short of extreme tanks.

The second build is more well-rounded with Fury to increase Ranulf’s offenses as well as his bulkiness. With Drive Def, Ranulf can increase his beast allies’ Def by a whopping +16 in addition to Chill Atk’s debuff. His incredible utility allows him to make a significant impact both in and out of combat.

Player Phase:

As a cavalry melee unit, Ranulf can easily excel in the player phase using Desperation builds to tear through enemy lines.

The first build combines Fury, Desperation, and Brazen Atk/Def to make the most of his fights while damaged. On initiation, he will be able to reach an effective 58 Atk and 50 Def with Brazen Atk/Def active, allowing him to hit hard and mostly ignore physical counterattacks. This build still also makes him capable of fighting in the enemy phase with Covert Cat Fang’s self-drive effect with only 1 less Atk and Def than in the player phase, making him fairly flexible.

The second build uses Heavy Blade to accelerate his Galeforce charge. At a glance, Ranulf’s Atk might seem too low to reliably use Heavy Blade, however Covert Cat Fang reduces his opponents’ Atk on initiation by -4, meaning that he can activate Heavy Blade unsupported against units with Atk stats as high as 57.

Mixed/Enemy Phase:

This build combines double Atk/Def Bond with Covert Cat Fang to make Ranulf an incredible physical duelist while near his allies. These skills will increase his Atk and Def to 59 and 52 respectively which most melee physical units won’t be able to punch through, much less survive. The potential of this build can of course be pushed even further with ally support, especially with Tactic skills or Hone/Fortify Beasts combined with Kaden: Kitsune Braggart.
