Are all of the strawhats fun to use and have unique and worthwhile skills/moves?

Or is it like, just kill everything with luffy/zoro/sanji mindlessly

The way it plays so far (early on), I think the primary goal of system design was to ensure balanced character use. More often than not, even trash battles will go much faster with a few character swaps than if you’d just loaded atk onto your favorites and spammed strong attacks.

This game would benefit a bit from an in-combat enemy analyze, though - if I hadn’t lucked into finding out I could keep a certain mid-boss completely locked down with Robin and Chopper due to what I’m guessing was a status effect weakness, I’m not sure how I would have known.

who, me?


Yeah, characters are split into three subgroups: Power (Luffy, Sanji, Chopper for some reason), Speed (Usopp, Nami, loving Franky for some reason), and Technique (Zoro, Robin, Brook). Power is the fist icon, Speed is the gun icon, Technique is the Sword Icon. Most characters only seem to deal physical damage of their type (though some of Usopp or Sanji's skills can deal fire damage and I assume Brook can do ice, etc.), so if an enemy is a Technique type, which is strong against Power type, you might want to switch out Sanji for Robin, for example.

Those categorizations are driving me crazy. Why is brook not speed. Why is sanji power and zoro speed and not the other way around. Im going insane. Pirate Warriors 4 got this correct already

Now i just want to play PW4 again

Cyclops actually has two eyes.

The character type thing has me hosed up. Because the Monster Trio should all be Power. Except Zoro is Technique. Okay... so then why isn't Sanji Speed?

I also think Chopper should be Technique and Franky should be Power. Maybe it's a game balance thing.

On a side note, Franky's VA is sick, right? Is that why he spends the start of the game fixing the Sunny rather than in your team? I wonder if that's also why Franky's not getting much to do on Egghead.

I think the emphasis is actually meant to be more like melee, sword (plus Robin, whose melee attack is swinging a chain of arms like a sword so that kind of tracks), and ranged (Franky can shoot bullets, right?), though most characters have some kind of ranged attack to hit enemies in other zones.

Yeah the names are meaningless, the actual relevant info is in the icon (fist, gun, sword). Still weird but more because Robin gets counted as a slashing type

It seems ludicrous not to have a spoiler/non-spoiler split of threads at this point, honestly. We have this same discussion on a monthly basis.

To be fair, Fluffdaddy is modding ADTRW now, so you could always ask him if you guys can create a spoiler leaks discussion thread.

Oh wow.

Just in case other people are on the fence about reading it: the translation is pretty bad, but with context everything was clear enough to understand. There's some messy panels that are hard to make sense of, but again it's clear enough to understand in context.

As for the chapter- It's good!

The One True Oden

After that long break, I too have no resistance to the allure of bad scans.

Good chapter!! The Kuma thing is exactly what I expected, but him just punching out his own memories and giving them to Vegapunk is not something I guessed. Pretty cool though, I wonder if his body running back there is an automatic timed thing... like he planned to do that after a certain number of years as a robot man.

Also Stussy! What!!

I was totally ready (and hyped) for Stussy's betrayal. I was also ready for a MADS connection, though the clone thing is a surprise.

I was still blown away by the Rocks Pirates connection. Whaaat?

I thought Stussy was intriguing since back on Whole Cake and I just keep getting more intrigued! She's just a series of crazy reveals- a lord of the underworld who's secretly working for the government, but even more secretly a MADS clone of a member of the Rocks pirates!

The inevitable Rocks flashback is going to be crazy.

Maybe next time we can try never posting the non-TCB scans so we have no choice but to discuss it elsewhere. But now that genie's out of the lamp...

I'm pretty sure it's a bat Zoan. But Stussy's a succubus anyway because of course she is.

I didn't know the VA was sick, which is sad to hear. However in regards to the game, while Franky is off doing all that at the start Bon Clay shows up in the first Memoria section, and pre-timeskip Franky is in the second Memoria Section so I actually figured it was more to avoid drawing attention/confusing over similar voices?

the first part of her name (bucking) is bakkin. so she's likely a clone of whitebeard jr.s "mom"

bakkin being part of MADS and the character on the cover story makes her having a weird copy of whitebeard make a world of sense.

Appreciating with these MADS cover just how happy everyone is. They're all mad scientists and just having a grand ole time.

Chapter adds some fun context to Stussy killing Du Feld, or at least making his day very bad back in Whole Cake, given he funded MADS in the first place.
