Mining for Bits

06:53] <Kyte> http://blogs.nrvnqsr.com/entry.php/3...e-Relationship // there's a secondary damage triangle
[06:53] <Kyte> it's p small
[06:54] <Kyte> but I can't tell wtf it represents
[06:54] <deadfish> it might be that thing about there being different kinds of heroic spirits
[06:54] <deadfish> like man, earth, heaven, stars, and something else
[06:54] <Kyte> hm
[06:54] <Kyte> yeah I guess
[06:55] <deadfish> then again there's only four of them
[06:55] <Kyte> five
[06:55] <Kyte> one's unused
[06:55] <deadfish> oh?
[06:55] <deadfish> i guess that's it then
[06:55] <Kyte> ...
[06:55] <Fel> literally what difference is there between the different kinds of HSs?
[06:55] <Kyte> 10% damage
[06:55] <deadfish> heroic spirits that didn't really have any special powers when they were alive
[06:56] <deadfish> but they were important people in history
[06:56] <Kyte> how did it go?
[06:56] <deadfish> like the writers
[06:56] <deadfish> and so on
[06:56] <Kyte> man => historical, earth => myth, heaven => skipped over, stars => hope?
[06:56] <deadfish> yeah, something like that
[06:56] <Kyte> let's see
[06:56] <Kyte> hm
[06:57] <Kyte> it does kinda fit...
[06:57] <Fallacy> heaven => (chosen by the gods?)
[06:58] <Kyte> the groups go 1 > 3 > 2 > 1
[06:58] <Kyte> so man > heaven > earth > man
[06:58] <Kyte> and star is outside the triangle
[06:58] <Kyte> but star and 5th are extra power against each other
[06:58] <Kyte> yeah
[06:58] <Kyte> it sounds like it fits
[06:58] <Kyte> jesus christ
[06:58] <Kyte> they actually modeled that goddamn lore?
[06:59] <Kyte> I'm like wut
[06:59] <deadfish> it was treated like an affinity thing in the game iirc

They have modelled an insane amount of stuff for a basic mobage.

Probably this:

SvtAttri

[
HUMAN = 1,
SKY = 2,
GROUND = 3,
STAR = 4,
BEAST = 5,
VOID = 10
]

I don't understand the distinction between Earth and Heaven

Also why isn't Mozart in category 1?

Apparently, all the Heaven Servants have Divinity. In fact, the only Servants with Divinity that aren't Heaven seems to be Medusa, who has an E- Divinity in the Earth category and Alexander with an E rank Divinity in the Human category.

Maybe being arguably the best composer of all time and one of the most known examples of human brilliancy made him go from the Human to the Star category.

There's also Tamamo
Nevermind I just noticed she doesn't have it

Dang, DelightWorks is pretty fearsome.

Quite so, thanks for pointing it out.

Did you translate it or was it in English in the code? Because if the latter now we can stop calling the second one Heaven, yaaay

That's from the code.

But mind you, DW's grasp of english (particularly translated Nasu) looks fairly shaky.
NPs are called Treasure Device in most code and data (not all, though). I wouldn't be surprised if they're dictionary-translating the stuff for the sake of avoiding having to code in japanese (which can lead to Super Fun debugging).

Also: So. many. typos.
