I definitely agree with you there.

Plus they made the absolute best explanation of Emotion Coins currently available, without even using words aside 'roland'

That's talent, right there.

Yeah, I have no clue how I would've gotten through some of the later fights without the info from the emotion coins video. I still think my favorite is the Boundary of Death video, if only due to some of the librarians having some issues with probability and Hokma getting that beautiful 100 pale damage off.

Took down Tiph's Realization on the first go! It was honestly surprisingly easy compared with the earlier fights but I guess that's partially due to the heavier emphasis on puzzle mechanics.

Now, time to figure out how the heck I'm going to use Tiphxodia...

Do abnormalities automatically breach if there's combat nearby or something? I keep having them randomly breach even if nothing in their containment instructions says they're supposed to, which is making getting the Midnight ordeal really difficult. You might be like "well maybe one of your guys went crazy and let them out" and, I mean, that area was sealed off to the Rabbits, so it really shouldn't have happened.

As for which abnormality broke out, it was either Punishing Bird or Judgment Bird, not sure which. I didn't do any works or anything. Just in the middle of trying to handle an ordeal and whoops "There was once three birds in the forest..." which I REALLY didn't need. I think I'm going to have to reset to Day 1 again.

Gebura why are you doing this to me :argh:

Punishing Bird's QC has a chance to decrease whenever another Abnormality is worked, Big Bird 's QC decreases whenever 5 employees die (including clerks) and automatically hits zero at second trumpet, and if any two of the birds are loose the third will automatically escape as well. There's also a few Abnormalities and Ordeals that can lower other nearby counters, like the red dawns.

Yeah, I just wasn't working with any abnormalities. I expected Big Bird to escape but I don't know why one of the other two did, which of course triggered the third. It was The God Delusion ordeal, can that one cause stuff to escape?

Not in and of itself… I think Pbird might also have its QC lower when someone panics? I don’t have any confirmation on that, but if you had a lot of guys panic it may have left to try and “help” and triggered the Thing.

studio mujahideen

Yeah the panic thing always lowers punishing's counter, so it was probably that. Long bird doesn't have any counter manipulation outside of work results, so hes usually always breached by the other two escaping.

Use mass attacks. In 5v5s landing a mass attack is often an instant win, and early star of the city has a lot of 5v5s. Once you have some star of the city cards yourself it gets more even, although there are still of course hard fights. Don't forget to use star of the city cards to get general receptions, especially since from the second tier onwards they'll unlock a whole new set of general receptions.

The Thumb are the first fight on the left hand side. By beating them, you unlock both their pages and one of the most broken methods of cheesing fights in the game. By placing all three of the Full Stop Office passives onto a ranged card - A Thumb Soldato being th easiest to obtain - and loading it up with 1 or 2 cost 3-hit ranged attacks, you can deal about 300 damage in a single turn.

Use this method to cheese your way through the second fight in the second lane and congratulations you have won the game for what should be obvious reasons. Yes, that page is exactly as strong as it's been hyped up to be. To win even harder, beat the second fight on the last lane and append XXX's Prowess to it.

Thakns for the tips, managed to beat The Thumb with a single-die deck on Malkuth and some defenders.

I can see how using the Thumb passives with Full-stop gives me +9 on offensive die for the first turn, just wondering how it turns into 300 damage? I get a great first turn with my characters, using cheap 3 die cards, but can't seem to capitalize on it.

You'll pretty much immediately stagger the boss then get a whole bunch of powerful hits in while they're staggered. Your deck should be three copies of Indiscriminate Shots, I Hate CQC and Take the Shot, which lets you attack before the enemy has a chance to move. In addition this firing squad should be a cleanup crew rather than your first line of defence - send in Yesod's floor to soften the boss up then blast away what's left of their health after Yesod goes down. In addition this crew can basically wipe out most mooks on the first turn - against the second fight of the rightmost lane I managed to stagger everyone and kill three targets on the first turn of each wave.

Oh yes, don't forget to do your General Receptions. Bamboo Hat Kim from the previous tier as well as Allen, Irina, Yae and Bayard from this tier are all incredibly good pages who will be mainstays of your team for the rest of the game. The Udjat are also incredibly valuable as red coin generators since they're so incredibly durable - give them cards like Opportunity Spotted and you can get powerful Abnormality pages like Gebura's Mountain of Corpses pretty easily.

So that's the trick to it! I still haven't gotten that page, ||even during the Realization which made the last phase a slog||, in part due to the floor having my heavy-hitters who tend to win more clashes than lose.

A fun strat for the Udjat is to put all of them on Hod's floor, and then give Hod Glitter so most enemies prioritize her. This usually results in her getting hit the most, and then getting a ton of protection from all the Udjat passives triggering at once. Add in a few other sources of protection like The Udjat and she'll become incredibly tanky.

udjat tribal floors in general are lowkey disgusting, they just don't get a lot of hype because they came out after early access players were done with the game. the basic deck lacks win conditions, but they're basically unstoppable when combined with almost any of the floor gimmicks available that provide them for you.

I am basically at endgame - still need to wrap up the Hokma Balls realization and do a spot of farming, but after that? time for whatever the hell this last bit is

hana association was waaaaaay easier than the star of the city boss fights - i was terrified of redoing xiao and, to a much lesser degree, yan

i mean, i'm still going to redo them anyway, not least because i don't have xiao's goddamn keypage, but it'll be slightly less unpleasant with the hana bits

Just took care of Gebura's core suppression, largely through sending a bunch of ranged dudes with Aleph ego armors at her and every time she looked like she was gonna pop an attack, having them quickly exit through the nearest door. Feels kind of ridiculous for The famed Red Mist to be defeated by the very simple invention of "a door" but I couldn't really find any other way to beat it.

A fun cheese strat for that is to use the Shelter from the 27th of March.

Just throw one scrub into each department, have someone hop in the Shelter, and sit there forever. It'll keep breaching abnos, and they'll attack Red Mist just as readily as your agents. It'll take a while, but you can take her down with no (meaningful) losses.

Note that depending on your facility composition, the only abnos guaranteed to actually hurt Geb are those with facility-wide attacks, and only Waws and Alephs will do any real damage. In my case pretty much all damage was done by Blue Star while Nothing There, Censored and Mountain were having themselves a thunderdome and never got anywhere near Red Mist.

The only thing that gets me is it feels like the last line should be "writing in this hell", because there is no way someone can fit "reviving each other in this hell" into the space provided.

Regardless, I've had this on repeat for a good 7 hours now. Forget the Pianist, Mili and Myth x Roid might as well be a Star of the City with how firmly this song has been lodged into my brain.

What you're hearing is actually "We built for ourselves, other in this hell." Mili's softer "Reviving each" that "other in this hell" completes is a little drowned out by MYTH&ROID's KIHOW singing "we built for ourselves", you have to really know you're looking for it to hear it.

At this point in the game you should have a team made up of Bamboo Hat Kim with Sayo attributed running a pure slash deck, Faint Memories Yujin, and three Singleton Emmas with Puppets attributed running pure blunt decks. Add Sweeper attributions to taste. You should be able to crush every fight in the first tier with this setup - I'd recommend taking out the first two fights on the far right to upgrade Yujin to a Rapid Gashes build, the first fight on the far left to grab Thumb pages (four copies of the basic mook from the first round will work just fine) and slap all the Full Stop Office passives on them to make an exceptionally powerful firing squad that'll seriously help you cheese boss fights, then try to clear the first two fights of the middle left line to get THE BEST KEYPAGE IN THE ENTIRE GAME BAR NONE.
