Thread: HBC's FKG 6* Tier List

Why you all gotta give my waifu so much crap, yo? She's done nothing to you! Just kidding! Like I said before in my post, even I was leaning towards A-Tier. But after seeing my own reasoning laid out and experiences with her, I barely edged her into S-Tier. Like if there was a double minus option, I would put her at S--. Ah well, I am happy she's landing where I figured everyone else is putting her in A-Tier

No problem. I'll give it a try but please keep in mind I mainly play for simple enjoyment of the game, so I am not focused on strategy tactics as much as you guys and likely won't have as much a Rockstar team set up.

Like I said, she could be S Tier if there was not other far better S Tier. For me, she is not A Tier because of her but because of S Tier being held by too stong girls. Like Wutan's tests show in Tactica, Red Ginger can do a great job until her death since S Tier Kerria finish the fight full life, defeated by the turn limit.

Allright.

I took a break from HBC for few days, seems like much has been written to catch up on.

As for Cattleya - Meh... fuck that tsundere bitch, weak sauce over egoistic boob archetype. C tier is good enough for you. (yes the SB kills her off comlpetely).

Now onto the more important stuff.

Red Ginger, aka Alpinia.

This lovely girl was my first ever 6* back when I started on Nutaku - FKG was my first Nutaku game, and I have had no idea about any of the browser games, DMM or anything really. I pulled her from that one super lucky first Slice Gacha, and since then have buffed her up to 5/5 4/4, thanks to rainbow dressblooms being more accessible (wish I could get one more for FKG so I can finish Mei to 4/4 as well).

Now I am not gonna make this long since most has been said already.
Stat line - she could use more ATK thats for sure, rest is fine
Her passive speed buff is a bit weird one, considering she did not get the DMG per speed buff like the other speed based girls.

She is rolling nice skillset of Skill Act. and Skill damage combo. 30% damage to ALL allies is also very very delicious.
The odd one out for me is the counter. Especially with her passive draining HP from the enemy, you would expect the last ability to be something more Damage oriented. Or Evasion.
Counter just feels meh in the grand scheme of things. But that being said, since Super Counter teams are worth their weight in gold, this allows her to join in onto teams that usually rock high Def buffs, and if you are a dedicated crazy man with All her equip slots unlocked and filled with maxed out item sets, yeah she can do pretty well.

Often times I have seen her be the last girl standing, beating on that boss and chopping it down, healing herself and doing contributing for the team to do much more damage than it would be anticipated.

A+ Girl no questions asked. If she got buffed to deliver damage per speed in addition, or get more DMG for herself she could be S- with ease.

Now one thing that needs to be said - Ninjax !
She AINT DARK SKINNED !
She is TANNED. Never, ever ever EVEEEEEEEVERRRRRRRRR ~ RRRRRRRRR mix that one up bruh !


Now as for her art style since you know.... I am a rebel mofu like that ~ :3
Her overall design is very nice. The color is lush and well drawn. The artist used a high color saturation which is in opposite to washed out style like for example Corn Cockle has, and I think its a good choice as it emphasizes well with her design of being raised on a sunny island lush with color and sunlight.

I also like the fact that she is tanned but not to much, thus setting the blonde hair more in line rather than being to strong of a contrast.
Now for her dresscode - I am not really fan of the slutty slut sluts running around in underwear. Since you cant put that much details on a picture like that, and while I like her first basic art, the second one is a bit meh, mostly due to the pose taken.
The bloom art is one of my favorite artworks in the game in general and I really like the addition of the loincloth or wtf its called when women wear it. She also sprouts a subtle smile which has its charm.
Her scene is akin to her art - strong lush colors, well drawn. Her story is kinda mofu, and I love some of the fan artwork where she is portrayed as a small girl with baby pest in her arms, or teh other one in yukata with teddy bear. Her story indicates a subtly presented but strong love for you as a Danchou, as well as the children around her, thus you can make the assumption she would make a good mother (not sure about a good Wife though, but certainly a good companion) to your children.
And yes I am dissecting the possible personality and mental profile of a 2D anime waifu based upon few lines of dialogue, and her overall presentation. No shame no blame, deal with it
*Those who read my "yandere" characters mental health assessment back in the Nutaku Chit chat, quite a time ago now, will understand :P

In short - she is a Babe *thumbsup*

Bro, whut? *Blink* Hang on a sec... Hrmmm pulling up FKG wikia… Let's pull up the nationality for Banana Ocean... and see what the girls look like. Whoa! For living in a tropical paradise, it's shocking that well over 90% of them are neither tanned, as you say, or dark-skinned but instead are a creamy white Caucasian color. Look, I'm not trying to start any argument or pissing match on who's right or who is wrong. I have seen in person many African American women range of near total black to so light they may almost be mistaken as a white person. Anime often goes very light skinned Caucasian like complexions, so anyone with a darker complexion to me is automatically dark skinned. Whether they have brown nipples or bright pink nipples, they are still dark skinned to me. Just my personal definition and preference is all.

Thank you for giving my bae such a high grade though!

For me tanned or dark-skinned it's chocolate girl.
All chocolate girls is the same , they're always tasty.

Yeah, that's why for gameplay side I understand why RG is not so popular. She's good but not as broken as someone in the same archtype.

Waifu side however, I guess Japanese doesn't like chocolate... Yet they crazy about valentine.

While not trying to derail the topic of this thread, I understand your confusion. A majority of the time I have seen dark-skinned girls, they are not often in lead character roles but instead are lesser supporting roles. And they often are given characteristics that I can imagine may not be appealing to Japanese audience. I've seen the angry tsundere, the slutty seductress, the lazy/airheaded gag character, or (more often the case) protagonist's villain that does many bad things in the plotline. I can't name many anime series or even games for that matter that have a dark-skinned girls as the lead female protagonist. If there are any, they are vastly outnumbered by their pale-skinned peers. Maybe it also has something to do with the negative perception related to gyarus (specifically ganguro) that Japanese society has of them as far as my knowledge knows. But who really knows right?
