･ ⟢ ⋮ Protocore Guide ゛༝.

Finally back with another guide! This game is so annoying at times and writing out guides is not my strong suit. I am trying my best. ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

With this game, you will get so much further with good protocores vs high levels. They mean nothing without a decent build! So yes, protocores are very very important.

I hope this helps! Some of my stats are iffy because my luck is awful with Protocores. Sometimes you will have to take what you can get and hope you can improve later on!!

The Basics

- Just match the companion’s talent! Listed below.

- Avoid flat stats unless they are boosted with a scaling % bonus

- For bonus % aim for 10%+. Typically you would want to be as close to 14% as possible.

- Any memories under level 50 benefit from flat stats though (pointless tbh)

- Trash any cores with ATK/DEF/HP bonuses as the main stat UNLESS YOU ARE USING CALEB then keep 1 Red Def bonus square for this solar. Keep any triangle protocores that have Damage 2 Weakness, Crit Damage, or Crit Rate.

- The highlighted area is your main stats! Everything below are sub stats.

- Make sure the bottom sub stat matches the companion because that’s the one that will be boosted the most in the long run

Example for an ATK scale companion

- Boost protocores to levels 3-6-9 to see what all 5 stats are before trashing it so you get some recourses back. Trash it before hitting level 12 since it’s too expensive and not worth it

- You gain a double bonus at levels 3-6-9-12-15 so rank protocores up by 3

- Any solar pair that has R1+ needs either 2x Expidited Energy or E.E and 1 Oath Strength. I will always vote for more E.E!

- Any pair with R0 should have 1 oath strength or E.E and 1 oath recovery boost!! Boost your oath recovery to +9 to ensure you will be able to use your oath twice during a battle (ignore mine being at +8).

- Only keep protocores that have the main stats shown above for the squares!

Examples of protocores from perfect, to decent, to horrible if using an Attack Companion! Def is not needed for this companion but it wont hurt. The last protocore has too many mixed flat stats that don’t align with the companion’s talents and/or are flat!

What does each protocore stat do?

I feel like some of the stats are pretty self explanatory so I won’t be going into those too much. Attack raised attack, defense raises defense, and HP raises HP. Simple.

I will be using the 𖤓 to represent solar memories, the first two pairs you equip, and the ☾ to represent lunar, the bundle of four!

Oath Strength (𖤓 and ☾)

Oath Strength boost how much damage your oath does. Those cool battle moves with the cut scenes, you know? Those! The moves you can only use once or twice during a battle. I would deem this stat to be not as important as the other ones listed below, but I will use it from time to time depending on the situation. I would rather have Expedited Energy for one of my solars over this stat.

Expedited Energy (𖤓 only)

Expedited Energy! You know those little yellow stars at the bottom of your health bars? The things that need to fill up so you can use your resonance moves? Well this protocore speeds up that process so they fill up faster! That’s all. Very very helpful though!

Oath Recovery Boost (𖤓 only)

I would only recommend using oath recovery if you are using a 5 star memory that isn’t Rank 1 or higher. Both solar memories need to have 1 rank to them to count as a full rank up by the way! Basically if you have a torn outfit with your companion then they are Rank 1 or above!

This stat just boost up how fast your oath charges! With that being said, it caps at 20%! Anything over that is overkill and is pointless to have. Even with the cap though, you can only use your oath 2 times during battle so I would cap this protocore at level 9 because this also guarantees you can use your oath twice if you timed it perfectly.

Crit Damage + Crit Rate (𖤓 sub stat & ☾ main stat)

These two stats go hand in hand! Without high crit rate your crit damage is useless! Crit damage increases the damage done when you land a critical hit and to land more critical hits you NEED crit rate. You would usually want to aim for the 40%’s and higher! With high enough crit damage and crit rate you can easily brute force your way through battles even without matching stellactrum. You can also raise your crit rate by ranking up lunar memories.

DMG To Weakness (𖤓 sub stat & ☾ main stat)

Whenever you break a shield on a Wanderer you start to do DMG to Weakness. Typically bosses will have shields and a few wanderers during mobs. This just means you’ll do more damage to them when their shields are down.

Substas you want for Companions

Attack Based: Lightseeker, Abysswalker, Boxing Sylus, Master of Fate, or any non myth companion ex: Dawnbreaker, pilot Caleb, artist Rafayel, deepspace Hunter Xavier, etc.

Attack Flat + Attack Bonus with any of these to follow: Crit Rate, Crit DMG, D2W

Defense Based: Lumiere, Foreseer, and Farspace Colonel* = priority

*Defense Flat + *Defense Bonus with any of these to follow: Crit Rate, Crit DMG, *D2W

HP Based: Sea God and Dragon Sylus

HP Flat + HP Bonus with any of these to follow: Crit Rate, Crit DMG, D2W

When I say "I like Richard III", I'm not saying I condone or absolve the real historical figure. What I love is the Trinity of Richard III the fictionalised villain, Richard III the fictionalised hero and Richard III, the unknowable approximation of a real person that can be scraped together from historical records. Three separate entities often at total odds with one another and yet conceptually one person. It's the multi-faceted, contradictory, vague idea of him that finds a new way back into the Zeitgeist again and again that I love. He's become folklore.

surely all the moonshadow elves and other moon primal beings felt the moon nexus inverting. the wrongness deep deep in their bones, the weakness of the centre of their magic on earth twisted inside out. did the elves of the silvergrove awaken all at the same time knowing something was deeply wrong? did runaan and ethari stumble out of bed alarmed and look for their daughter only to be told about aaravos?

Actually going insane over the implications of Jason asking Dick to be the Robin to his Batman in Battle for the Cowl.

Like I initially took it at the purely surface-level of Jason wanting a partner in the general sense. Which made sense, it's a huge responsibility and a lonely one so an assistant/sidekick/partner seems a no-brainer if you can get one.

But then I really thought about it, because Jason is not asking Dick to be his partner in the general sense; he's not even asking Dick to be his Nightwing. He's asking Dick to be his Robin.

And they both know exactly what Jason means: "Be the light to my darkness. Be the smile to my scowl. Be the hope to my fear. "

He's saying "Be 'Robin'; be the embodiment of Love and Justice and Goodness. Be the exceptional person that you have always been. Be the slightly-less exceptional person that I was when I wore your colors. Be the person that I was in the process of becoming and might have been (or might still be), if only Joker hadn't clipped my wings."

He's saying "I am prepared to become vengeance, become the Night. And I will go further than Bruce ever dared to, because it is what is needed. I will be the necessary evil. But you don't have to be. If Batman is Gotham's curse, Robin has always been its blessing. I will be the brutal punishment to our world, and I am asking you to be its incandescent gift."

He's saying, "Be for me, what we were for Him. Be my anchor, my comfort, my hope. Remind me what it's all for, why it's all worth it. And remind yourself as well."

He's saying "Be 'Robin' again--for both of our sakes."

Ice Orbit 120

I have been stuck here since December!!!!! Idk what it is about Zayne and his orbit but it’s so hard for what?????? I did learn Foreseer’s rotation while ripping my hair out during this battle.

Resonance Skill -> Active Skill when the battle first starts and then use Active Skill -> Resonance Skill so you can use it twice while the wanderers are down.

one last collection post to cap off the year :)

176 characters over 151 days !!!! not bad if i do say so myself<3

next year, i wanna change how i do things a little. with a few exceptions, basically the entire time ive been running this blog ive drawn everything in the same style on a 500x500 canvas so that everything could fit together nicely in a little array. and like ookayyy YESSSS it looks really nice all togetherrrrr

BUT. it's started to become a bit limiting. i wanna branch out a bit!!! i wanna do more of them on aggie canvases with my friends or on paper!!! i wanna CHANGE THE ASPECT RATIO sometimes!!! get me out of square world sometimes!!!!!

plus, with everything in the same style, most days require like... a certain benchmark of effort, so on days im too tired to put the time in i just end up spending ages rerolling the wheel until i get something easy. and that sucks!!! i dont wanna just draw orbs every time im tired!!! i think itd be funnier to just post a stupid ugly cute doodle and move on!!!!!!

so i think, ive done enough, ive made my cute little tile array, lets make next year the year of im gonna do whatever i want forever. i think a lot of them are gonna end up looking like this year's anyway since its like, kinda my default style for objects anyway, but im GONNA DO DIFFERENT STUFF IF I WANNA!!! YEAH!!! COOL!!!

coughs Anyway. thank you again for joining me so far :) i have something fun planned for tomorrow to kick off this New Brifdi Era and BFDI's anniversary!!!!! aaahh!!!! weeee!!!!!!!

i am BEGGING you to make that jondami ship guide. not because i need anything to make me ship them more than i already do but because they deserve to have their good moments highlighted

Jondami/Damijon shipping guide.

A collective guide to any cute moment between Jon and Damian in DC comics or motion pictures. Any moment that could make a reader like them more as a ship will be put all here in one Tumblr post.

• Superman (2016) Issues #10-#11

This is the first time they meet each other and they immediately knock heads. Jon’s lighter than life personality clashes with Damian’s cold personality and they don’t seem to get along but you can tell there’s something growing behind the eye rolling and tongue clicking… a friendship?

• Superman (2016) Issue #20, #21, #25, #26 (mentioned), and #43.

• Super Sons (2017)

This is the first of the Super Sons series, the series is really short but gold nonetheless. No Super Sons comic that I don’t like but this one is my favorite. They still are knocking heads and refuse to call each other partners but they grow and learn to be heroes together.

• Adventures of the Super Sons (2018)

They slowly start to get used to each other and this comic shows that Damian isn’t just straight up mean but is starting to somewhat ‘like’ Jon.

• Challenge of the Super Sons (2020)

The last main Super Sons comics. This one is fine but I love the others so much. These comics are essential to know Jon and Damian period, it’s the main comics of each others story and in a way they are important to each others development.

• Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons (2022)

Now after all that reading treat yourself to a movie because Jon and Damian got their own movie. This is what started Jon and Damian for a lot of people and this is probably where a lot of you are from. This movie is great and fun. They made Damian wayyy nicer than in the comics and their friendship easier.

• DC Rebirth Holiday Special (2016)

Please find and read this. It’s so cute. I love it so much.

• Dark Nights: Metal issue #3 (2017 -2018)

They make a rock band in the beginning, its so cute.

• DCeased (2019)

• DCeased: The Unkillables (2020)

• DCeased: Hope at World’s End (2020)

• DCeased: Dead Planet (2020)

• DCeased: War of the Undead Gods (2022)

This is such a good series, and story in general please read it. DC peaked with this one and its so angsty. I don’t care what comphet was happening, Jon was there for Damian like no one else. I think Damian ends up with Cassie which is weird to me because Damian has never shown interest in anyone before but I excuse it since it’s not really gonna happen again since they were in a relationship just for the story to be more high stakes and sad. Jon and Damian’s relationship was at the forefront and for comic book readers DCeased made people see the potential in Jondami.

• DC’s Terror Through Time (2022)

This is so cute, please read this. It’s a halloween special and they switch uniforms <3!!

• DC Saved by the Belle Reve (2022)

They help a nonbinary person navigate school and it’s so damn cute.

• The age up incident.

(Disclaimer: You can pretend this never happens and I wouldn’t blame you for doing that.) A writer named Brain Micheal Bendis comes into the writers room for DC and ages up Jon in short. The story is that Superman goes missing (He travels to War World and gets stuck there) and Jor-El comes back to meet Jon and he takes him on a trip to explore space, then they get trapped in a wormhole, Jon gets stuck on Earth-3 and has to fight Ultraman. He’s stuck in a volcano for five or six years and becomes seventeen (we think) when he comes back. This was sad to me because it took away all the potential interactions for Jon and our ability to see him grow up, it was rushed and purposely so. Jon takes up the title of Superman somehow and starts to date some guy named “Jay Nakamura.”

• Superman: Son of Kal-El (2021) Issues: #1, #6, #14, and #15.

He does get a boyfriend here and I think it’s amazing the fact he simply gets a boyfriend but no one really likes his bf so… and the are real reasons why Jay as a character is problematic BUT if you just don't want to see him with someone else than every time you see a pink haired twink, quickly skip.

• Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent

• Super Sons (2017) Special

This is them reuniting after the age up and it shows how Damian reacts to it. I can’t actually find this and if anyone can please let me know where it is. I can only find bits and pieces of it scattered across the internet. All you need to know is that he doesn’t like the age up anymore than us since he says “I miss my friend.” which is really sad to me because the age up ultimately really hurts what people like about their dynamic as well as tarnish Jon’s character almost completely.

UPDATE: found it, it got attached to

• Dark Crisis (2022) till Issue #5

This is fine, after issue four Jon and Damian are not there anymore and if you read half the story just for jon and damian you might as well finish it.

• Green Lantern: Blackstars (2019) issue #2

They hug here. You’re welcome.

• Action Comics (2016) issue #1030

This is the best thing to come from the age up. This is so cute of them.

• Teen Titans (2016) Issue #43, #45, and #46

i didnt really like this, im not gonna lie but it has some damian and jon interaction worth noting with jon being protective over damian.

• Flash (2016) Issue #797

jon defending damian. this is such a cute moment for them. jon talks damian up and says how hes the strongest person he knows and how hes misunderstood.

• Legion of Super Heroes (2019) Issue #2 & #3

dont read this. its rlly bad but this is full of jon being the number one damian apologist, quality jondsmi moments over quantity. worth mentioning • Trinity Special: World’s Finest literally them raising a child together but their ages are a bit wonkey, i still dont personally know what age either of them are supposed to be there...

DC MEETS HANNA-BARBERA - Super Sons x Dynomutt

I’d say they aren’t exactly written right, well over all they are but their personalities are more relaxed and they care about each other a lot and will go out of their way to make sure the other is okay and protect them from danger, make them laugh etc, theres nothing wrong with this, its really cute but you can tell its not the typical jon and damian writers is all. I like it.

• Dark Crisis: The Dark Academy (2023)

• Wonder Woman (2016) Issue #800

There's always trouble when the Hornsup clan meets the Hornsdown gang. (Jeff Easley, AD&D 2e Dungeon Master's Guide, TSR, 1989) The pale blue maps in early modules were charming. The pale blue art in 2e books was a bizarre editorial choice that lasted years. (Previously)
