He mentioned grinding to level 32 with Bartz. I assume for Almagest, but I'm not sure.

Probably. Unusual place for it but that's DD.

Never watched The Run, do people grind Bal statues or is that frowned upon?

Someone did for a couple minutes, I presume to unlock cointoss for everyone.

There is also a Fiesta mod you can find on the Discord that unlocks all Jobs from the start. It generally ends up being harder if you roll something like Bard, because you aren't supposed to use Freelancers and now you gotta go with 4 Bards.

That was one hell of a finish!

DD had a decent lead, but then he accidentally left one part alive, which led to Almagest followed by Comet on the one character who could survive it, leading to a wipe. eLmaGus was able to catch up after that.

DD and eLmaGus were neck and neck, but DD was able to win by a mere eighty seconds. Hilariously, eLmaGus won with three characters dead and Lenna at 1HP, clutch as gently caress.

Good race!

Typically, it's after the last runner finishes and RK wakes up, or probably 12 hours as a mercy kill.

It's got too much defense.

Hit it until it's not a problem anymore
To elaborate, the zenigage damage formula is (Level + 10 - Defense) * 150

Most things in the game have low defense which is why its damage is so crazy.

poo poo, Hi Thread! I haven't played the fiesta since like the first three. I don't remember, is it cheating if I get myself to the wind shrine and then tweet as soon as it starts, to get the 30 minute jump on the game?

I'm excited for this! This year I'm doing a Pure Chaos Berserker Risk, and I am excited to get the worst party comp ever and break the game apart with it.

Nah, this is pretty common, since a lot of people do multiple runs a year and can't be bothered to do the jobless part of the run every time.
