Kongming posted:Well, I'm playing on Normal and I would have agreed with this a few days ago (I've been playing this game nonstop since it came out and have progressed pretty far now) but I'm reaching a point where it actually feels quite easy. There are a couple reasons for this. The first is that starting in the 40s or so you can get some really strong demons with powerful unique skills, and since the game practically shits grimoires at you you can keep these demons around and continually level them up to match your MC's level. do enemies get the all crit magatsuhi skill too on normal? like 80% of my non boss game overs are from a group of four going first and using it on the first turn and me not being able to thin the herd before they obliterate me

It gets harder again in the 4th area on normal so I think it's just a bit of a dip in the midpoint where things get a bit easier, on any difficulty.

I've noticed some enemies have skills that they only use in magatishu mode though, so they're sort of unique in a way, they just also get a crit bonus. Like the second boss has that beefed-up Mazan that debuffs attack and defense

What level are people fighting the fiends? I thought 25 would be enough for Matador but the fight just drags on for ages due to his immense HP and evasion and he eventually gets lucky with a critical on the mc Not a huge fan of how HP spongey the bosses seem to be in general, it's not insurmountable difficulty or anything but it feels bad to be pressing weaknesses reliably and just needing to use loads of MP items when they still have 2/3 health. Least I have the party member item use skill now

I beat Matador at level 24 on hard. I made sure I had atk down, def down, and accuracy down on him the whole time. He wasn't too dangerous but I made sure I used phys dampeners when he got his limit breaks. I've not really spent many chakra drops bc it costs a turn and they're limited. I'd rather just use a gem or shard unless I need debuff.

Having back up demons in case one of yours runs low on MP or dies is also a viable strategy, swapping out demons only uses half a press turn. I usually do not bother reviving dead demons since reviving them uses a full turn on top of having to swap them in.

Really wish you could turn the difficulty up from Normal to Hard in 5 like you can in 3 (HD at least). Hard's feeling kinda tedious early on but I'm sure I'll want to be on Hard mode in the later parts of the game once I have a lot of cool demons and can set up some strong builds.

copy posted:completely balanced because i have no idea what im doing This, basically. Keeping my strength and magic at just about parity got me through 4 and 4A so I’m just trusting it will work here too. The strength-based aogami skills have been really good so far but the game’s challenging enough that I want to have a decent number of support and elemental skills on my MC so I don’t want to lean too hard in one direction or the other

My MC is always phys/agi with a few support skills, sometimes I get rid of them in favor of passives depending on the game. Maybe a light/dark skill if they're useful
