Everyone's talking about sharing supports and friend codes, but I'm still not sure you can even bring supports into this event. I think I'll just have to keep grinding the spicy dungeon with only Bistro Gregor for now.

You can bring them into the stages. I don't think you can bring them into the dungeon (or at least I couldn't figure out how).

Found a bug: the final part of Sinclair's Lifetime Stew E.G.O. ignores volume settings and plays the sound even if you've otherwise muted the game.

It also plays full volume regardless of your normal volume settings, even if you're not muted.

So this makes me wonder if it'd take less time (or enkephalin) to bring someone else's Bistro Ryoshu to the stages instead of running the hard dungeon. Has anyone done the math on that?

Well, the hard dungeon gives 80 base plushies, for 40 Enkephalin. I have +60% (Ryoshu and Gregor but neither EGO), so that boosts it to 128, or 3.2 Bongy per E.

All the stages are 16 E to enter. Looks like they give 16 plushies. 16 + 60% is 25-26 plushies. That's about 1.6 Bongy per E.

The hard dungeon is drastically more efficient than everything else, E-wise. (I'd say 'both dungeons' but the easy one is bugged, so.)


EDIT: updated the stage drop math

At least on iOS, dungeon 1 and the last story battle aren’t applying the bonuses right; you only get the base 40/16 plushies on replay. I wasn’t paying attention in the earlier stages/the first go-around, so it could also be bugged there too. :lobcorp: I guess

Turns out I was just wrong about the base values for the story battles and easy dungeon; the math happened to match up too well so I thought it was a bug but it’s not. After poking around reddit a bit, I think the base plushie number for the easy dungeon is 25 and the base number for the story battles is 10. So it’s just that the hard dungeon is way more efficient.

Looks like it’s Yi Sang on the s2 battle pass. Any idea what abnormality the ego will be from? I think those green things might be umbrellas, so maybe the fox from the mirror dungeons?

I did a full bonus run of mild and got 55, the base is definitely 25 plushies for mild. The 80 for 2 spicy dungeon definitely wins by a mile.

Really good so far. She's a strong unit with no single-coin skills, good bases, and a handy source of healing if you save up Lust resources.

Madcap-strong. Just a truck. I forgot to level her, uptie only, and she'd still regularly do 40%-50% damage on a team of III 30s.

Despite looking like a support at the first glance, she is actually a primary damage dealer.

She is very good at clashing, her third skill can hit as hard as Rip Space/Mind Whip/Quick Suppression, but has far lower setup/limitations than they do, her healing reduction is very noticeable when you need it and her healing is....Ok. It's nice when it happens, but it's limited by being on kill and needing 4 Lust to trigger, so it's just a bonus, instead of being cornerstone of her kit as it was initially presented. She also causes some Bleed and Bind which are not very spectacular on their own, but allow a nice bit of synergy when slotted into Bleed teams.

Overall, a lot of people rate her as one of the Top 5 Identities released so far, and I agree that she hovers around there.

All that checks out with my support use. I guess I could use around 135 boxes (since they give 1-3 shards and I need 270) to get her so I can save my lunacy for the identities in May and June. Cause the earlier I get her the easier the event will become to grind.

Also we got new identity preview on ads in Japan. Thumb Rodion and Mersault. If they're the next ones it's weird cause Don and Yi Sang have 1 less than the others, but they're matched with Telepole Faust....

Additionally, the whole "bloody knife smile" on her Identity art is sick and she does it each time you use her 3rd skill, so she gets 10/10 style points.

Hopefully the Thumb IDs give us some Ammo support. Like, LCCB Ishmael and Rabbit Heathcliff are good and all, but some passive to the effect of "Ally with the highest Max HP gets +3 Ammo" would help their longevity in fights quite a bit.

Also, the art confirms that Chapter 5 is going to be Ishmael's. And 4 definitely looks like Yi Sang's. The Pattern of the original art posts is holding strong (Heathcliff 6, Don 7, Hong Lu 8, Ryoshu 9, Meursault 10, Outis 11, Faust 12, and Dante 13).

Operation complete.
So since Don, Ryoshu, Sinclaire, and Gregor are forced includes into the hard mode dungeon if you want to minimize runs and thus box usage, who would be the best 5th member do you all think. I have all of Sinclaire's IDs although none of them seem good, Gregor and Ryoshu are forced into their event IDs although Ryoshu's is actually good, and Don I figured I'd just go W corp as usual.

The only fight lasting long enough to use Rip Space is the final boss and most enemies in the dungeon are resistant to pierce so W Corp Don is for once uniquely unsuited for running the Dungeon. LCB Don is one of the worst Identities in the game so she is out, which leaves....um, *shuffles papers* ...Shi Don? :shrug:

Leap and Rip will still carry normal Don, and Telepole being Pierce is very useful in the final battle, W Don is still perfectly fine here. I've been using Jefe Sinclair as well, because he's tanky and has evade so sometimes the enemy will waste 3-4 turns targeting him, he dodges them all, and then everyone else bonks the enemy. It's very funny.

My fifth is Buncliff, entirely so that he can quickly murder the chicken sack.

From what I've seen people just don't bring Dom because the 20% bonus is less important than bringing at least Ryoshu+Sinclair+Gregor (even if Gregor is also meh).

thread, I am having a weird Ruina problem where the game isn't recognizing a book I definitely have, and I'm stuck at tier 3 floor of religion. is there some kind of mod or console command to remove and re-add books, or just a way to force unlock the floor so I can re-do the fights? I only have the very last invitation gauntlet left so it's pretty frustrating.

I've tried verifying file integrity, burning more books, turning off mods. google has failed me.

My iOS Mirror Dungeon run has been interrupted by skills never actually resolving at all—the enemy will still clash with me, but I get no actual hits on them after winning (they hit me just fine). I could win this due to having Teddy Bear so they'd die eventually anyways... but the enemy also is in a 6-v-5 fight, meaning they're able to rack up a bunch of free hits on my guys too. :lobcorp:
