That's a huge meme play, but the sort of stuff I live for. I'm trying to imagine the deck, with the biggest Blink caveat being you can't have any cards that cost more than 3. Honestly not that bad of a Surfer deck, but definitely still a huge "retreat for 1 cube losses in hopes of the big 8 cube win" style deck. Too inconsistent to be good (Have Blink + Storm, don't draw Galactus, etc)

I don't trust anything written on Fextralife, though, so I guess I have to go find an enemy that'll bleed at 41-80 buildup and hit them twice with a buffed dagger with no innate bleed to test....
I thought he was great in the first movie, personally.

"Okay."
You might say he’s got tunnel vision.

For that bundle to be good, it needs way more Tokens or Credits. This latest bundle has far to few resources.

I mean, I honestly think that X-Men works best when it's focusing on the kids, and maybe a senior staff book while they are at the school, instead of focusing on overarching plot and whatever the fuck, and I can show you the exact panel they stopped doing that in 2007.(Coincidentally, the majority of the class focused on were women and many of them weren't white)
To be fair, who else in the X-Men is capable of being a stable leader? Jubilee?
Come to think of it... that'd be pretty great.
But seriously, like with anything: he can be a good character and/or leader, depending on the writer.

Just to make sure you're parsing correctly, Arcane won't increase bleed build up on a weapon that doesn't have Arcane scaling, but it will increase damage and bleed/poison buildup on a weapon with Arcane scaling and a status.
So you can take a weapon with innate bleed and no Arcane scaling, make it Occult, and scale both with pure Arcane.
Or you can make a non-bleed weapon Bleed infused and it will scale damage and bleed with Arcane (but the damage will scale weaker than Occult and the default scaling will be more intact, so you tend to go for less arcane and more of whatever other of dex/strength if you're using Bleed infusion instead of occult).
I thought you were using Reduvia? It has intrinsic bleed and arcane damage scaling, so the damage and bleed both scale with Arcane. If you increase dex the damage and weapon art will both increase in damage but the bleed buildup won't go up.
If you're looking at innate bleed weapons you can infuse, you might do something like a Keen Uchigatana with high dex and decent faith, then bloodflame blade for flat 40 over 2 seconds bleed per hit and scaling fire damage (and maybe seppuku if I wanted to use my ash of war on it for more bleed and damage) and only the minimum arcane. Or you can run that same Uchigatana as Occult with 80+ arcane, enough faith to hit the minimum for whatever spells I want to use with the Arc/Faith casting implement Dragon-Communion Seal, and have the bleed innate to the weapon scaled via all that Arcane+Occult without needing (or being able to) use the faith weapon buffs (can't buff Occult or Bleed or Somber weapons and Arcane doesn't scale Faith weapon buffs even with Dragon-Communion Seal, same way Strength won't scale Faith weapon buffs with Clawmark Seal).
If you're looking at non-bleed weapons you can infuse and want to run Bleed with, you'd run like 40-50 arcane to get the bleed to a respectable height, plus then heavy investment into strenght/dex/both depending on the weapon's natural scaling (since Bleed, like Cold and Poison, doesn't take as much away from the base scaling as some other infusions).
My personal recommendation would be very heavy on arcane with just enough in Faith/Strength/Dex to use whatever you like. But you might want to wait on that build until mid-game when you can get the Occult infusion at will if you don't like any of the earlier Arcane weapons: Reduvia (dagger, bleed), Regalia of Eochaid (straight sword, magic), Ripple Blade (axe, physical), or the Ripple Crescent Halberd (halberd, physical). You can also rush Bloody Helice fairly early but I wouldn't on a first run.
Ah, notable thing I forgot: the Ripple Blade and Ripple Crescent Halberd are weirdo weapons, in that they can't be infused and scale their pure physical damage with Arcane like the various other Arcane somber weapons, but they can be buffed, which makes them work really well with the Bleed/Poison/Rot greases (which scale with Arcane, unlike the flat Bleed that comes from Bloodflame blade).
I mean, Wolverine got his name because he was originally a hyperevolved wolverine. The names were always stupid.
Yeah, that'll usually get you higher damage from anything that's not a weapon infused to a pure stat infusion, so Somber weapons and the various status effect infusions.
That said, I tend to favor going hard on the stronger stat if it's a casting stat I'd like to use or if I'd also like to be able to use infusions that favor single stat pumping
60/40/16 Arc/Dex/Str looks like this
while 80/19/16 looks like this
Barely worse, and your spells with Dragon-Communion will be stronger, and you can use Occult whatever.
Of course, it's not universal. Any weapon where the split is closer will suck like that but be exceptional with split stats (though in some cases, ranged weapon arts might scale only with the caster stat, making the hits worse on a pure build but the WA stronger).

As an example "Plan A assumes I only have 26" (Godsdamn, moving to San Fran was such a good idea that got cut short way to soon due to plot idiocy bullshit and also having Greg Land draw the thing)
You could grab Bloody Slash if you haven't already and use it to get Bleed infusion on anything that counts as a sword other than colossal swords (katanas+straight/great/curved/curved great/thrusting/heavy thrusting swords). The weapon art itself also scales damage purely with Arcane and inflicts 60 points of Bleed (it looks like it might be melee and has a short range, but functions like a ranged WA).
It's in Limgrave, down here
I knew you would hate that
Does the Blood Infusion scale off arcane? I guess maybe that’s what I was missing with my plan. I already have a couple of Blood Arts, I just thought Bloodflame would be better. I’ll switch to one of those and see how it feels.

Blood infusion does scale with arcane, but it takes a decent amount of base damage and base scaling away, and doesn't scale AR as strongly with arcane as Occult does. Meaning that even with base stats and a decent chunk of Arcane, something like the Uchigatana will probably have a higher AR with standard or keen infusion.
Until you have a decent chunk of Arcane and/or upgrade the uchigatana enough, bloodflame blade's flat 40 on a standard or keen will be better even if you're all in on arcane, unfortunately. I might still go with Blood infusion on the uchigatana, the main benefit would be to not have to buff (I personally hate keeping up with weapon buffs) and Bloody Slash being really strong even after it was nerfed.
Iirc, I have the stats to 1 hand the washing pole, 28 faith for Greyroll Roar, and 37 arcane. So I’m just kind of everywhere.
Edit: tried blood slash, it’s so much better. I really need to find that occult whetstone.

It worked for me yesterday, but not today. I'll still probably play, but I guess I won't have to pay attention to streaks anymore.
Honestly, the timing is pretty good, since I got a new phone last week anyway.

Does the NYT really think I'll create an account on their website and give them my personal information just for the privilege of "stats" (read: seven individual integer counters) about my Wordle game? They really don't think much of people, do they? What's next, they'll ask me for my banking information so they can transfer the fabled NYT fortune stuck in Nigeria after the beloved NYT King was deposed by the evil Fox News military dictator?
Also I think Tommy Shriggly is a sure bet for best VIP episode. Dunno who else is coming but that was great.

Gambit's not so bad. He had a cool power concept, a fun accent, and a whole "ambiguous rogue" archetype in conflict with a sweet romance with Rogue. You want peak 90s comics aesthetics, you need a guy with a name like "Bloodscythe" who squints all the time and has no feet.
Which just makes me appreciate Shatterstar's role in Deadpool 2 all the more.

Only the whole thing was announced at the very start (via a future that was basically Days of Future Past yet again, and another future that was some utterly pretentious wankery) that it was always doomed to fail. And even without that, I couldn't get into Krakoa's society working because every character except Magneto and Sinister had their personalities wiped, and the whole thing turned into an off-putting racist death cult.
Edit: And then Nightcrawler turned from kinda fun to HI I'M THE RELIGIOUS ONE, constantly.
I'm learning I'm not the biggest fan of Hickman's writing.
