SITB posted:Grit reduces damage from any source, including self damage so you will remain with one stagger resist. IIRC that strategy is usually paired with the Udjat passive that restore half the stagger damage you have suffered during this scene to make sure Bayard isn't half a step from being staggered at the end of the scene. This sounds so incredibly dumb. I have to try it.

I wonder, does Nuovo Fabric works for that as well since it's a more powerful version of Grit? Reduces health and stagger damage by 1-2.

Leviathan finally got the second chapter translated. Now we know the Ring is the Finger obsessed with art, and one of their higher ranking positions is a Maestro.

Well, the Middle has a bit of a chain motif, and Roland did say in the game that some Middle-affiliates gave him an earful of 'Brotherhood crap', so my personal prediction is that they've got some heavy 'We are a Family' style poo poo going on.

Tanya gets described as an 'executive' member of the Middle so she must have been really high up in it, presumably for her combat power. I'm curious what she was doing during Roland's rampage though, since she she probably could have beaten his rear end.

In the same way that Pluto was the guy with the bad contract Roland shook down in that one flashback. They never have the characters say this straight up, but it's cycles of revenge all the way down. It rules.

But the way that she's mostly compared to Gebura/Kali when it comes to power makes me think that she might have been Colour-grade even before she distorted.

I wasn't the biggest fan of it, but Afterglow imploded because apparently the project lead was a jerk. Too bad, it had some interesting stuff. That being said there's still good work being done in the mod scene.  K Prime posted:That's missing the funniest one, which is the Gebura is Venti.

Finally cleaned up some uninvited guests. Honestly it mostly got easier as it went along; I had the most trouble with Philip, Eileen, and Greta. The later floors were pretty easy in comparison, with the exception that Pluto needed some pretty heavy deck rebuilding. Turns out putting contract of light on Olivier because he had 3 and 4 costs is a very bad idea when half of your deck is 0 cost fuel and you get stuck on Forward March and Brace Up with 7 light. Second run went pretty smoothly though once I entered the second phase with all librarians and had the mass attacks at hand to just nuke all the barrier cards. I'm not sure what Project Moon was thinking with the details of the mass attack mechanics, but hey I'll take it. Black Silence also wasn't too bad and Gebura cleaned it up on my first try, even when I made the pro move of pressing space twice on the third scene of the last phase and everyone except Gebura died. Here I thought I had dropped that habit after doing that during Arcana Slave  .Now to find the time to do the Kether realization. Giving the pacing of all the realizations and the endgame so far I'm sure this will be quick and breezy.

GilliamYaeger posted:She compared herself to Gebura including the power she got from her Distortion. And still got her poo poo kicked in to a brutally one-sided degree as the second easiest fight in the entire thing (first being Binah). Her belief that she was anywhere close to the Red Mist was just her being delusional. The 'comparing' I was talking about is by the game itself and by the people who made the game, not any in-universe stuff she herself says. That her fight was poorly designed is a different matter entirely (most of them are) and i don't get this argument that gameplay must equal the 'reality' of things. That's like saying that Argalia or Iori are secretly weaklings in-universe because their boss fights can be pushed over really easily. What's the point? EDIT: Like, I know that we're talking about stuff that will probably never matter in canon so it's pointless because there'll never be any answer but this was just such a weird thing to say ZeroCount fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Jan 18, 2022 |

Well, its more that whenever we hear about her, its always as "L'heure du Loup." Even if she was a high ranking syndicate exec, its really only after distorting that she becomes a name that people talk about. Kalo is a big deal, but he's nowhere near a Color, who we see are practically syndicates unto themselves.

ArchiveLurker posted:Finally cleaned up some uninvited guests. Still working on the last portion of this (it's been a weekend-long project, thanks PM), and I think I agree with your assessment. The first two were brutal, and I'm currently in the middle of the Hokma deck tweaking process, but otherwise they've mostly been pushovers by comparison. I wonder how much of this is everyone in the world thinking "I better not blow all my good keypages on the very first floor, let's see if I can do this with some Liu Fixers", how much is accident, and how much is PM intentionally loving with that instinct. I'm looking back in time to when I started this process at like 1 AM on Friday with a "one more fight and then bed, will probably be able to wrap the game up this weekend" thought and now I'm wondering whether a next weekend finish is going to happen; have to hand it to these guys, they pack a hell of a lot into their projects.

If you want to beat Hokma's fight easily, Purple Tear page in guard stance, 3xOminous Power, 3xBi An, 3xSerpentine Barrier, +2 defence die power from Walter and Sweeper passives, anything else you can fit to boost def. For you see, Lean, Bloody Wings is true damage and thus penetrates Pluto's invulnerability, meaning you can just unga him to death. Blockma balls, motherfucker. Or you can be an absolute chad and go for the legendary 100 roll Boundary of Death 13th Toll instakill.

My previous strategy was definitely going to work on the next attempt when I didn't gently caress up phase 2 execution, but that is too funny to not drop everything and replicate immediately.

It's only fitting that while it's theoretically possible to beat Pluto's fight while following the spirit and rules of his contracts and various mechanics to the letter it's way funnier and less time consuming to instead abuse all of the loopholes (no protection against true damage for phases 1 and 2 and mass attacks break Pluto's Hex:Jail cards in phase 2) that occur in Pluto's super-gimmicky fight, just like how Pluto got screwed over in the first place by a loophole in his contract with Roland.

oh my god the last fight of this set is solo that's so many amazing key pages I could have used earlier that I was conserving just so I could be flexible just in case it demanded some kind of specific mechanical fuckery and/or was actually harder than the rest I have been thoroughly and effectively trolled by this entire affair, the first floor was the hardest by far

For Library of Ruina, does the game ever actually give a solid answer on if losses or refights are things that actually happen like the loops in lobcorp? I don't actually remember if it ever did and just assumed that was all just a gameplay thing with a rare exception like Kali.

I don't actually remember if it ever did and just assumed that was all just a gameplay thing with a rare exception like Kali. It gets answered in a post-abno fight scene with Hokma, where he and Angela discuss the fact that all the guests are actually immediately trapped in stasis when they enter the Library and we just fight infinite copies of them on demand to suit our needs. And though it's not directly stated, this also answers why only specific people flee the Library instead of like, every other guy: it can only happen if the Library specifically lets it happen.

I assume this is also why <endgame spoilers> the Head takes so long to actually get involved. Right up until the moment they show up, their coming into the library would have been an instant loss for them, which they definitely knew, because the Head.

Just finished the second realization. So far these haven't been all that hard, which I think is a testament to how much power and flexibility you have by the time you can fight them, and how simple the first sets of abnormalities are even in boss rush form. Some of my librarians are running out of steam while others can still go by the time the last phase rolls around. My key pages are Bamboo-hatted Kim, Yujin, Dante, Puppet page 2 and Oscar.
