Like, it's just stuck in the second phase and all of my dice get -5 power so can I just... Not do anything and need to quit out of the game since I can't even surrender the fight lol?

the second phase is basically just a scripted victory lap tho? if you have two or less librarians left it might gently caress up i guess

How did you lose a magical girl? Are you not remembering to use Hope on each of the girls each turn, cause that gives a massive boost to the rest of their power against the Jester's attacks and should blunt it enough even if he attacks the wrong magical girl and you can't intercept

Hope from all 4 girls is a +8 to everyone no matter what, and even at a -5 power that works out to a +3, which puts any attack from the jester to any girl firmly into the 'get stuffed, nerd' range. Spamming hope is always the answer.

IIRC Jester is scripted to target the corresponding magical girl in each phase. Did you have the Magical Girl of Love accidently redirect attacks?

losing in that last segment would be awful though, that sucks. the servant of wrath phase of the pre-nihil fight can go straight to hell, i hosed that up like three times

Just had to start a third facility because the day limit is so strict. While I could suppress Binah, day limitations stopped me from suppressing Hokma.. So many perfected agents with a wonderful wing wasted.

This is why I went out of my way to mention that going 3-2 or 2-3 in lower is super important-it lets you get both done in a single loop with a memory repository.

idk, I've not felt anything hit quite like And Is Heard No More, I think the other boss songs are all neat but there's just something missing in all of them that's there in that song.

I love all the Mili pieces, but I think Iron Lotus is my favorite. String Theocracy is probably my least favorite overall, even though I like it as well.

hope won't draw if someone's hand is full with other pages, so you sometimes have a burn a couple Justice will always get one though since her deck is only 4 pages it might just be that that fight is cursed, on my first run someone got staggered right after hitting the Love statue and glitched out and didn't transform, making the fight unwinnable, welp

So I broke down and started Ruina before the LC LP could finish. Jesus christ that's one hell of a difficulty spike once you hit Urban Plague.  This is just mean. Is the strat for this fight just slapping Slash Endured key pages on everyone?

I'm not quite sure, since I was past it by the time the system was released, but Urban Plague is when you unlock key page attribution, right? If you're still feeling the system out, it already offers a lot of additional power and it's going to basically take over the game after a while. For example, if you stack all three of the Full Stop Office passives onto a single character, they get +6 to all dice on the first turn, which should let you immediately stagger Phillip, who is weak to pierce, and take control of the fight from there.

SOTC row 3: The new reception has me convinced of something that i've been pretty sure about for a while, which is that Summation dice were a mistake. This is definitely not the salt talking. Nope. No way.

So, the final days of Lob Corp. I managed to survive day 47 with only two deaths and I have a plan for day 48 but 49 escapes me. Do I do the stupid thing and attempt to suppress An Arbiter without the ability to pause or the stupider idea of attempting to suppress the Dusk and Midnight of White without the ability to pause AND with speed up?

Definitely do the stupid thing, not the stupider thing. It is a massive pain in the rear end but I cannot even imagine how awful the alternative approach would be. Because while Binah does eventually go away, you still have to survive several cycles of her being around, and bear in mind that any works on an abno that is melting down (which with her around, will be most of them), won't advance the clock. Day 48 isn't too bad because the alternative option is at least somewhat viable since if you leave Gebura alone she will just sit in her room (although I still found it quicker to just take her out anyway rather than go all the way to level 10). Also a key thing about day 49: It's not that you can't pause, it's that someone dies/panics every time you do. It is an extremely worthwhile trade in some cases.

I highly recommend doing 1.1 or 1.4 first because yeah, Dawn and Full Stop are much harder. They have pretty mixed damage as a group so I wouldn't bother just focusing on the one damage type.

I can certainly see why going for a pause or two (after two, you're down what, 6 people?) can be worthwhile to deal with her. Hopefully I can just get away with a pause on phase 2 of the arbiter. Phase 3 is more pressing to complete but nowhere near as many things to actually assign as phase 2.

You can also pause in phase 3 this time. But I think the first pause is 1 person and the second is 2 people so two pauses kills at most 3 guys. Less if some of them are panics.

Right. For some reason I was calculating at 3 pauses. 4 is certainly a no go, though. I was lucky enough to beat Hokma with only one accidental pause last time that turned out to be a panic, not a kill. Still lost two people to green midnight. One triggered Knight of Despair.

Was one of them armed with Gold Rush? It's annoying how despite how big Green Midnight is visually, agents with really short range weapons decide that they can only reach it if they walk directly into the middle of the laser.

Nah, the click-drag didn't quite catch them and they were just standing in range of the laser like an idiot. Probably one of the others had a very close range weapon, though and that was me just being dumb with the murderball.

I actually set up a team that all resisted pierce to push through Full Stop, made a gun deck with all their passives, then had everyone burst down Salvador just to get that card out of the way. Is it just me or do drop counts plummet in Urban Plague? I had to do 3/4 runs of every fight on that line just to get all their key pages.

They're less likely to drop when they're of a higher rarity, and Urban Plague starts having more Limited Edition/Object d'Art rarity pages, so you see them less. But yeah, Full Stop's pages are also super useful, if only until you get to the point where enemies can just tank all the damage.

Book drop rates were... tripled, I think? In order to help make early game grinding less terrible. That also stops at Urban Plague as well. Fewer books means more runs.

I beat Tiph's realization. Despite some abysmal luck, like King of Greed staggering a guy then targeting him for Road of the King or whatever. I somehow did it unba bunga style with 2-3 stagger damage a pop.  Now then, for Gebura's.  e: The fact that after Tiph's realization Angela didn't even bother showing up gave me a laugh
