Selkette (Poll and Discussion)

Lol. You forgot something called honghua

Btw yakuza bruv, you on discord?

I am.

She got that legendary to support her

In case you don’t know, those designs are made by illustrators who get paid for it, illustrators that you can search for on Twitter and those whose work costs money, VKC is not to blame for what Caramell does

I am well aware. But alas vkc is the only one i can reach for allowing them into the game so nobody else i can be angry with for straying from the path of the ones beautiful pocket monster game this was :melting_face:

What are you talking about friend? Satomi, Brown hair, violet eyes, Kunomi, black hair, blue eyes, Botan-Douji, purple hair and red eyes, Sivanna, black hair with a gray streak and pink eyes, their icons are immensely different, Currently the designs are identical, Honghua , Fyrielle, Nyx, Evie, all white-haired with red eyes, not to mention that Selene and Isoldelle have the same color palette so their icons are identical. So really the stage that you supposedly say was horrible and ended, never really happened until today, the second generation of waifus has 43 completely different waifus, however in the third generation half have white hair, red eyes, pink or yellow.

The pocket monster game went bankrupt and had to be bought by the Japanese. The waifus are simply what is keeping the game afloat, the only mistake ZigZaGames has made was letting K.Yuki go, her waifu designs were simply the best, but he was drawing waifus for 3 years, so I think I understand the reason for your graduation from the game. Anyway, we currently have 2 new waifus designers, that’s why the radical change in the designs.
ZigZaGames and the Devs do not inform anything about where to follow these artists and I think I understand them. I guess it’s to protect you from players who would bomb your accounts trying to blame you for drawing waifus. It’s true that the game would be a better place without Caramell, but that’s no reason to have to throw hateful comments at him.

Not so much hahaha, especially when you make fanart or sketches. You pay attention to those details.

Id love to see i- :skull::pray::moyai:. Maybe even medbie too- (god bless me)

Why would anyone use Detox Stun if it only stuns for 100tu and then you have no way of killing this target because she has only single poison eater.

She does not work well with other powerful poison myths like Asmodia or Gorgo because you don’t want her to be poisoned and lose HG. 59tu ā€œpure cure+ā€ seems nice on paper but it will waste a lot of turns instead of sweeping. She might be decent with some Earth Myths like Nagandia, Medusa for some Link Earth setup. Lack of immunities while being weak to both stun and poison is pretty tough on a Humanoid.

I agree, after using her, the only reason you would want her ss unlocked is to have the repulse ready again.

While tanky with a semi reliable way to heal, probably best used with lunactia and ally sub or smth, she struggles with a relatively high tu move. 2 years ago, she would be good.

Her tu also being an awkward 93 tu on her one sweeping move combined with her only way to create poison if repulse isn’t an option is a 136tu glorified dual poison touch, which is more than double the tu of the actual move.

Sidenote: she lowkey would synergize with arachnodrake. Both her siphon cure and toxic thirst are 59 tu 0_0

Some ideas to make her more viable, especially in todays meta. Ranked from most outlandish to minor.

  • Replace Siphon cure with toxic thirst.
  • Reduce exacting sting tu to 85 like the normal standard
  • Change her element to Dark like her coloring suggests to make Kinslayer actually get use
  • increase speed to 70+
  • Make venom repulse randomly poison something else in addition to the normal repulse effect.
  • Have exacting sting have a minor daunt effect

I have some pretty strong opinions about this monster and am happy to see quite a few people voicing them too.

Art

This has to be my least favourite piece of art in the game. The scorpion tail looks so out of sync with the rest of the design. I mean, she’s literally a human in every other way then has a fluffy scorpion tail. It makes it look even more like a buttplug than it would already by its positioning. On the awakened form the human is more front-facing, but the tail strangely keeps its sideways position which makes no sense. The waifu has nothing of interest about her, just yet another naked one and she’s sticking her tongue out which makes her look so stupid. And then to top it all off she was clearly originally intended to be shadow but is now earth so the colour scheme is completely wrong and it’s even more confusing because she has a move based on her element!

Moveset

I knew people would rate this as weak/mediocre and I am in complete disagreement. I genuinely really like this design and think it’s the perfect level of powerful and the type of poison support mythic we have needed for a while. Venom double kinslayer I’d honestly ignore entirely… the damage is low and TU is pretty high.

What’s important here is Exacting Sting does just enough damage to one-shot all things that don’t have a defence buff. Due to poison that’s 110TU focused, psuedo-piercing which it sets up itself and can do from 68% speed. You also get the extra impact on the first turn of stunning an enemy by 100s. Selkette is incredibly tanky so with high speed will be hard to stop from doing that. So it should make a good initial impact then will carry on doing efficient TU sweeping / support while you get the huge benefit of auto-poison all.

I don’t know what’s to dislike about this monster honestly. It looks reliably strong and in a non-broken way. It’s clearly stronger than most mythics.

Agreed. She is definitely better than gimmicky ones like Risu or Jeanne but compared to other releases this year it is nowhere as good.

Defo, make no mistake, she is decent. But for the archetype she falls more into a support role at best, which isn’t overall great.

I used her next to selene just to see if it is worth it. I think the main problem is the last few mythics before she released were all broken in their own way and now that a somewhat more ā€˜mid’ mythic releases, it gets shot down pretty quick.

I stand by it, 2 years ago, she would be good. But somehow the powercreep of the last few months was such a huge leap that she is a victim of it upon release.

Sidenote: Selkette is fun to use in the poison immune Okkult case, funny enough. 42 tu repulse go brrrr
