Another big scoring factor in Scramble Slams I just discovered. Multikills, especially ones that finish a battle (and catch the 3x noise in there) are heavily rewarded. So if you can set up killing a bunch of noise in 1 big hit, you'll score a ton of points. The best candidates I can think of are the bomb pins. A Mysterious Gift in week 1, and Topo the Ingenious in week 2. You'll really want Topo instead The World Within, as evolving The World Within to Topo increases its AOE a ton, letting you snag multikills much more easily.

Then I evolved it and holy poo poo it was such a drastic upgrade. The AOE is so huge, the lifesteal is nuts, and the damage is good for what that pin is. It's just so ridiculous.

Day 6 scramble slam is annoying me. The fights are mostly those elephants that ignore knockdown and knockback leading to way less beatdrops and they just keep doing that aoe attack that usually snags one or more of my teammates.

SyntheticPolygon posted:They spit em back out after a while. I dont like pins that require knockback and launching to beatdrop becasue any time a large enemy appears they just ignore it and for the scramble slam the only thing that seems to matter for points is combo. Also for SS points do different monsters give different amounts? I had a x5 combo going and killed a frog with a x3 bonus on it and got like 80 points.

Note to self: Don't try to 10-chain Grizzly Noises until you get a 4th member again. Early Week 2 is a kick in the pants.

Speaking of shops, is there any point in getting their VIP level to 5? I'm currently up to W2D4 and I haven't seen any reason to push up the VIP that high.

Golden Goat posted:Jeez they seem to be in there for a while. No. What Scramble Slam is checking for is how much damage did you kill the noise with. If the killing blow did a lot of damage, you get a lot of points. So basically don't use small damage over time pins to finish off noise if you can help it. You get even more points if you finish off the battle by overkilling a noise. (The amount of HP they have left doesn't matter, but overkilling is a surefire way to make sure your damage gets tallied, as dealing damage otherwise does not grant points.) You also get a ton of points if you finish off the battle with a multikill. Fusions are probably the best way to go about that. Basically there's a loop of get beat drops to build up your combo meter, then finish off the noise with all the overkill you can. (Save the 3x noise for last if possible.)

W2D3: any particular recommendations for Pin builds (specifically, building boost)? I’ve currently got Kitsunegasaki (Uber JOTM X-attack), Gorgeous Gemstone (y-attack that petrifies), AkaFuji Blaze (ZL ground AoE), and Topo the Ingenious (r-button bomb that heals you)

In the week 1 scramble slam I literally went from 10k points per area to like 30k points per area, it's that dramatic of a difference. I didn't even change my strategy that much, I just equipped the rockfall pin and made sure to finish off everyone with either that or a finisher. Rockfall deals like 150-200ish damage, finishers (usually the big meteor) deal like 500 damage, and I get an absurd amount of points per kill.

That certainly explains why I always had so much trouble in SS, my entire playstyle revolves around small multihit pins and using crowd control finishers that also mostly did small damage. Was that in the tutorial somewhere or is the game just that bad at explaining the mechanics of SS?

Honestly, W1D5/6 are really sapping my will to keep playing. Day 5's replaying went on too long and became kinda tedious, and Day 6 is whiplash in the other direction - the Scramble Slam is just all combat all the time, and a) I'm not that big on the game's battle system, it's adequate but I'm not having a blast, and b) the fact that it's just spamming scorpions, T-rexes, and mammoths, all of which are easily able to wipe me repeatedly, feels like I'm just smashing my head against a wall. I'm really having a hard time wanting to get through it, and the fact that I know there's at least one more Slam later in the game makes me actively dread getting to it. I guess part of the solution is Git Gud but I'm just not very good at this kind of game in the first place, and lowering the difficulty means I'm gonna be missing out on all the drops and will fall further behind on trying out new pins and affording stuff. Day 5 and 6 just became really tedious affairs in opposite ways and I'm feeling like I'm already starting to burn out on the game and I'm hardly anywhere through it.

The second Scramble Slam seems a lot better than the first, overall (only just started it tonight). Most things now survive long enough for you to effectively build a combo without needing to chain the super-heavyweight Noise, you get more points in general because you can get 10 chains instead of 5, you have more effective healing stuff by that point to keep you going, your stats are better by that point. It's still a crapload of fighting.

Just beat W2D3.

I'm not sure why week 1 is like this, but starting from week 2, you'll have to juggle difficulties way more often to get pins, and some valuable and unique ones are locked to easy. Week 1 is just really stingy with unique payouts for some reason on easy. You do get yen pins at least during that time.

Yeah Days 5 and 6 of week one were the weakest days overall of what I have played. The rest are much better. Also speaking of where I currently am W3D1 just wanted to talk about the Reapers game and man at least Kitaniji gave the impression that his version of the game was kinda fair, and the only thing off about it was deliberately trying to kill all players in order to win his bet. With Week 2 of Neo it became obvious the game was rigged, and it's kind of amazing how utterly unfair it was once the curtain was pulled back.
