yes sirs
Caroline's third skill is dumb. You can only do 4 volleys max as far as I can tell and you'll have a huge gold advantage pretty quickly if you roll with the gold mine. I figure maxing it first then finishing off the 2nd skill is the the to go early since it's useless later on when you've got 60+ gold vs your opponent.

Return, Shuffle and Gold Attack is my favorite.
20dmg for 100g with Gold Attack. Over and over. Unf.

Edit: OK now I understand the third skill better and I'm a dumbass, it's good

Maybe not the right thread for it but has anyone done much of the game pass cloud streaming on their device, and what kind of controller situations are working for you? I tried a little of the touch controls and while it's cool that it works it would also drive me crazy.

I haven't gotten sucked into a Kairosoft game in forever but picked up Boxing Gym Story and have been enjoying it a lot. There's a lot of downtime between matches which isn't particularly unusual in one of these games but man, it's fun watching my guys fight their matches. My first guy has been my money maker and he's about to retire :ohdear:

It is! I literally just posted about this in a different thread so I'ma just copy that over here:

I have been playing Boxing Gym Story the last week or so and actually have been enjoying it a lot. I like the Kairosoft games that give you something fun to look like Grand Prix's races and the boxing matches are pretty fun to watch in this game. That said, I've hit the point that I think I'm done with it now because there's just so much downtime between each match and they don't let you use the fast forward until you've beaten the game once. I don't even know what "beating the game" looks like, my dude was the world champion across 3 different weight classes and now am forced to fight "Kairobot" which is a dude with 999 stats who loving clobbers me in 10 seconds in a tournament that I'm pretty sure is designed to force you to retire your OP boxer.

Basically, I liked this one because the boxing matches are fun to watch, but does fall into a lot of the same Kairosoft traps that all the other games have. I got a week or two of fun out of it so I do recommend it if you liked Grand Prix Story.

Dicast posting: I don't think I get Caroline. I mean, I really like her in theory, but I just cannot make her consistent. She feels incredibly feast or famine, but I'm not sure if that's because of her tiny life pool at level 3. To make her do anything, you really need to get both her AP and gold up, while other characters can just focus on AP and then just splatter me before I can get up to speed.

I'm running Portal, Large Potion, High Gold, 6 and Lock High, and I've been splitting time between Tac Tent and Gold Mine, but I think I like Tac Tent a bit more.

Anyone have ideas on getting her more consistent?

Well I don't know if you saw the recent patch notes, but they buffed gold gain from...basically every source, so that goes a long way towards making her more viable.

I know the one thing other Carolines have been using is Gold Attack. Sure, it uses up all your remaining gold, but it's pretty trivial for Caroline to get it up to 20 damage.

I'm not sure I have anything else really, I'm only still in gold so I'm relying on the good ol' reliable of Back/Reverse Dice/Swap/Shuffle. All easy to get, good on every character.

Yeah, I definitely wrote this before seeing the patch notes, which do a LOT for her.

I had considered Gold Attack, but my generation wasn't good enough pre-patch. I definitely see it as very viable now, though. I can see Shop actually being pretty good as well.

e: Tac Tent with Portal, High Gold, Draw Dice, Shop and 6 seems to be doing pretty well for me.

Been having a lot of fun lately with Golf Blitz - quick games but there's still time for dickish behavior.

Also while picking through this thread found Dicast and that's been awesome. Seems pretty easy to unlock most (?) of the heroes and bases without any skin in the game - working on Breeze and the Breezy Bastion.

Have been looking for an arcade style soccer game. I played Score Match which is fun but don't like that there's only FB as a sign in option. Now I'm trying out PES and hopefully it's arcade-y enough.

I believe Nonograms, but drat, I didn't know Nintendo had trademarked Picross. Thought it was generic for sure.

It's the same game, they've just renamed it on the store.

Like, I take the already-installed version on my device (which is still called "Hungry Cat Picross"), and click the button to go to the store page, I end up on "Hungry Cat Nonogram Purrfect Edition".

Yeah I honestly feel like Trixie just isn't that good because of it. Also because the pills don't overwrite cards in your hand so you're immune if your hand is full.
