So unless I'm missing something, Misty can't trigger One-Shot-One-Kill from any of her multi-hit attacks? Including her basic attack? That seems really bad actually!

Use Hide and just walk past everyone? The whole thing is a hiding tutorial. That said, when I beat it I got caught on the 2nd floor and then made a mad dash for the objective. And still got the achievement for not getting into a fight, probably because I never attacked anything?

I spent about a hundred hours on the DLC and "end-game" content so this 2nd DLC should be right up my alley But I haven't played the game in 10 months so I have probably forgotten a lot. But my characters should have pretty optimized gear so those scenario missions should be a breeze and violent cases are what I've enjoyed the most. I just want to have more new content available once I get back to the game, something like 4 scenarios and 1 VC. Probably going to get that costume pack as well then

Bought the DLC right away, but didn't realize I'd have to wait for the other missions. Oh well. In the meantime, getting to win the solo mission by killing everybody without using hide was a fun challenge. Just did it on Hard, not sure if I'll also try it on Cruel. (Note: I don't think this is possible with the default masteries.) (Obviously the "nr of enemies out of actions" is bugged here.)

I thought I was so clever giving Misty water attacks that deal poison and bleed at the same time, but it turns out that the "poison explodes on death, increasing AT by 40" also applies to me. And that's mandatory for the mastery set that applies poison 100% of the time. So it sucks. Sorry exploding poison, but you suck.

Pretty much agree with everything. What I've been trying is to mess around with Heavy Rain, the mastery that increases the %dodge you get from water SP. I'm combining this with Argonaut set + Awaken set + Escape Death + Escape plan + Smoke generator. So her dodge is: 50 (base) + 10 alacrity + 50 from water SP + 20 from smokescreen movement + 40 extra against ranged attacks. Escape plan gives a guaranteed extra dodge every turn as well, and escape death is very easy to trigger because of the synergy with Awaken and Argonaut. Obviously I have no idea whether this is the best build, nor what to do with the rest of the build (currently doing executioner+overpower+mighty strike+the seeker of enlightment). I'm currently running ninja only because of the skill that generates smokescreen and the extra ninja tool slot, but perhaps I should try out "Improved slice and dice" and compare.

# ? Oct 23, 2022 17:18 |

Improved Slice and Dice seems to be unnecessary. Any extra value it provides is overkill compared to the base power of her moves.

This is my current Ninja build, which is like, not a Ninja build at all but it has some utility spells: Forestallment + Clenched fist is a pathetic nod towards survivability, in that maybe she'll knock something back and get an immediate action, but mostly it relies on not getting attacked because your turns are coming too fast. Edit: Enough Rest should maybe be swapped out for Deep Sea. Clarste fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Oct 23, 2022 |

Having messed around with builds and stuff myself, I'd say that her best use-case is as a boss-killer/priority target-stabber; Hide lets her pretty much waltz up to any non-Destron target (even them, with multi-hit stuff) and shred through it, since she negates defenses. That's how I ended up building her as a Rogue, speccing her into high movement/speed to tag along with the rest of the team and help mop up grunts until she can do her assassin thing. Other characters can do the AOE/Infinite Turns thing (i.e. Shion) and other characters can waltz into most mosh pits and survive (Albus, Irene, Alisa, Leton, etc.) but she has a unique niche there, which is excellent for the 12th character on your team.

How do you unlock "Support Ninjutsu improvement"? My build: (mostly trying to optimise for beating her solo chapter without using hide, still have to try Cruel.)
|
# ? Oct 23, 2022 21:28 |

I believe it's "use every kind of Support ninjutsu 3 times each." So three heals, three mists, and three shadow ults.

# ? Oct 23, 2022 21:37 |

I tried again and I can confirm that the build I posted is good enough to beat her solo chapter on Cruel difficulty. (I did require escape death once.) In the meantime I also just unlocked that "support ninjutsu improvement" mastery.

In the meantime I also just unlocked that "support ninjutsu improvement" mastery. Just tried it, my build did it trivially. Well, almost trivially: at first I didn't realize that picking up the keycard replaced my Gear slot so I just trying to use something I didn't have and died in the process. Also I decided to replace some stuff with more Water SP synergies (the dodge, as mentioned), although that wasn't necessary in that particular mission.

In the spirit of "not playing the game right now but once there's some more new missions"... What kind of weapons does she use? Are there legendaries (or crafted or otherwise good) from pre-crimson crow that fit her well, or in that new mission that's out?
|
# ? Oct 24, 2022 06:07 |
|
She uses Daggers, which so far only mooks have used and I'm not aware of any good drops. Nor can you craft any legendaries. Either way, it'd be hard to compete with her default Unique weapon that gives -1 to all cooldowns.

Patch Notes posted:Added the daggers to the Oleg's weapon category. Patch notes. Wave Kick being Water makes sense and expands her options a little. I don't know what Warm Mist is; I'll have to check in-game. I assume it's better than normal Regeneration? Fixes lots of bugs with Hide, some of which I've noticed! Basically when you used Hide again while already hidden (or other hide mechanics like Perfect Preparation in mist), you briefly lost Hide and alerted the enemies. Also sometimes they'd just attack you anyway while hidden, which sucked, I assume that was the "using Hide again after being detected" fix. Edit: Warm Mist does Vigor recovery, apparently. I think Healing Mist already does Regeneration though? Clarste fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Oct 24, 2022 |

That's cool. I don't have call of water so the big majority water masteries seemed completely useless to me, it's good that they gave her at least one extra water skill. Probably still not enough to make water mastery builds viable without having to level a mature venom drake to lvl 16, but perhaps it does give some more versatility.

# ? Oct 24, 2022 20:04 |

Honestly I think the main utility is just that it gives her SP when she uses it now, lol.

So I have possibly a dumb question. I need the lightning mastery "Accelerate Nerve Network" for my Sion Black Mage build. It's showing that its the lvl 16 mastery for the Gold Tongue frog monster. I haven't messed around with beast taming at all because I couldn't be hosed to, but am I goona have to figure that poo poo out and tame this bitch in order to learn that? Or do I unlock it once I complete gathering information on it and hit "receive rewards"? I can't remember how this research poo poo works.

You have to tame it, unfortunately. Many monsters learn skills from leveling that they don't have in the wild, and a lot of the higher level elemental masteries are learned that way.

I think Sniper Giselle can also tame beasts? Either way, taming beasts is a really awesome mechanism. You can do a lot of fun builds and the beasts can get insanely strong.

there's only about a dozen tamed monster-only masteries but there's no list of them i could find. i probably should have made one myself when i crosschecked for all of them.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:gold tongue is probably the hardest monster to tame in the game. lol, yeah, when I saw that my immediate response was "yeah, that player is hosed". Gold Tongue is so strong that you can bring his default build to fight Destrons. He also successfuly beat my Albus when I did the Sniper Training mission with post-game builds for the challenge. Speaking of builds, I don't know what to do with Misty. I haven't played TS in such a long time that making a board from scratch is genuinely intimidating, so I might steal the ones posted in this thread by Walh Hara (also thanks for the Ray/Earth Dorori builds, still have to try them) and Clarste to start.

I've been reading up on some stuff and it doesn't sound too bad if you prep/cheese it, but we'll see. Edit: And tamed. That was pretty easy, dunno what the fuss was about. Just made Giselle as fast as possible, and a combination of Massiveness and Impulse Fields let her survive the one attack Gold Tongue got off.

This is my latest version, btw: No ninja masteries whatsoever, lol. I wish I could squeeze in a Ninja Toolbox for some extra stats, but I don't know what I'd take out. I guess Rain Bucket is probably the least mandatory? Although it does trigger two sets and she does have vigor issues.

My initial takeaway from ninja is that if you lean into it, you can actually get a pretty good support build going. The heal becomes a non-trivial amount with the appropriate mastery and the smoke clouds offer some very useful effects with the mastery to give them enhanced effects. Combined with her mobility, she pairs well with Albus to help cover gaps in his defenses and prevent him from getting overwhelmed. When not supporting, she can just knife throw at things from stealth without actually losing hide. I think leaning into the water masteries at all is a mistake. They're just not good enough.

She has actually become too strong now... she kills things in one hit preventing her from hitting Blood Thirst for the AT refund.
