Finished all the current story fights, some of the fights I actually ran close to the EX 10 turn limit (although I was running some monkey party without really building parties to target enemy res). tbh n-corp sinclair is just the mvp for most everything, since he automatically manages his own sanity and doesn't have to deal with increasing it (important since a lot of enemies don't clash with you in these fights, so you don't always get to build it up), and also he just does 10 billion damage which helps when enemies keep getting more and more health. some tips from reddit for using ego heathcliff: quote:Get 3 Envy asap to trigger his passive. N Faust and Rose Rodion in the team help with this. RoyalScion fucked around with this message at 07:07 on Jun 8, 2023 |

The solution to EX that mission just seems to be "retry endlessly unti everyone attacks the right enemies at the right times and someone doesn't get staggered on turn 1 Yinlock fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Jun 8, 2023 |

Even though they’re resistant to blunt his numbers are so high it’s fine, and is helped by gaze from n faust. He’s also good for holding up in early clashes.

He needs to max roll through or he's just gonna tickle them, so once again  anyway I did it. W Don decided to draw her Rip Spaces at the right time vs the right people and R Heathcliff just went insane and drew 2 QS at the start of round 3 with just enough ammo left to use them since I was aggressively conserving it. once again my pure skill has carried the team through e: I also lack Tingtang Hong Lu and I don't use RB Ryoshu which probably didn't help Yinlock fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Jun 8, 2023 |

I didn't have too much trouble with those enemies, I just threw my non-blunt team at 'em. Granted, that team's pretty stacked, with W Don/R Heath/ Tingtang Hong Lu/Chef Ryoshu/N Faust. Also had a stage or two where I used N Sinclair against those enemies and he honestly worked perfectly fine. Anyways, I just finished. Holy poo poo that end was great. Love that they upped the ante by allowing a 7 Sinner team, and Spicebush is an incredibly cool fight! Also finally getting to see K Corp's singularity, and hot drat that's horrifying.

I mean after the first turn or so it’s pretty common to roll high since he isn’t dependent on clashes for sanity gain. Dunno, there are a lot of options but I ran n faust, n Sinclair, chef ryoshu, w don, and r heathcliff for pretty much all the later stages cause big damage. I used wrench rodya and seven outis instead of don and ryoshu early but was too lazy to swap back later.

Welp, seems like my luck streak ran out, no Foxy Heath for me for now. I did recover a lot of ego shards, so if he gets a new EGO it's mine without pulls. Also yeah, 4-37 is nasty to EX but luckily got it second try.

That was a neat final fight for the second part. The last couple of clashes was cool, and I'm looking forward to the Spicebush EGO ID for Yi Sang, surely he's going to get that? I know we haven't gone into the dungeon, there might be a more fitting one in there, but come on? Also, I'm taking a look at the EGO in the battlepass. Heathcliff's EGO is a TETH, and he has no current TETH, so you can just slot that in, no problem. Outis's EGO is also a TETH, and she does have Ya Śūnyatā Tad Rūpam for that slot, but I think the Sunshower EGO is superior? Seems to have better effects and can burst tremor on a critical, which considering the many many tremor ids this chapter is throwing at us, seems pretty good?

Finished the story stuff. I thought she was distorting, was not expecting EGO. Also we're seeing a trend where looking into thje Mirror seems to cause people to start obsessing over their parallel possibilities, first Kromer and now the science squad. Lol that the fight was supposed to be Yi Sang's big moment but he also still only has 2 not very good IDs. I found the fight itself fairly easy, though that might be because I brought both 7 Outis and Kuro Ryoshu and they do horrible things to single targets. Also my fighting style is generally wearing enemies down with clashes with meshes well with both her fights K Corp's singularity review: Jesus Christ How Horrifying Also someone needs to punch Dongrang at some point holy poo poo he is vile, and RIP Samjo you loving idiot. Well he's probably about to burst out as some horrible monster or primordial soup and try to kill us so he's not exactly dead, but you know what I mean Yinlock fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Jun 8, 2023 |

What an absolutely gorgeous final fight. Just outright stunning. Fun mechanics too-I struggled a lot before I managed to beat her. I really like Dongbaek. You know who I don't like? loving DONGRANG THAT'S WHO. What an absolute slimebag. -I wonder if Yi Sang is going to distort? -I had a lot of theories on K Corp's singularity and this was definitely not any of them. Wonder what that means about those high-class K Corp employees or N Meursault. -Related, does that mean that Blubbering Toad is related to K Corp in a way? That is, that it's a metaphorical reflection of K Corp like the Birds are the Head? -Small detail that I'm kind of obsessed with: Samjo mentions that he and TLA guy both had job interviews with B Corp. Is that a Beholder thing only or does, after all the speculation, the Head select Arbiters and Claws through job interviews from Nest applicants? Because that would be a hilarious anticlimax.

Also my fighting style is generally wearing enemies down with clashes with meshes well with both her fights For 4-48 I did actually bring Yi Sang and it was cool, he got Duelling and then spammed his Ideal to clash with Dongbaek and won on turn 9. Meanwhile 4-47 I soloed with Nclair. Turns out a Bash weak boss who gets staggered the same turn as you do when soloing is easy to solo! (after... a few resets). Man, my reaction was kinda hilarious. 4-47: Oh, so it comes from an eye, and since it restores based on an origin point you need to be damaged not to go out. Nasty side effect but okay. 4-48: Suffering Is The Point In Capitalism, Part 947. We should have guessed the reason N Corp could do all those attrocities was because K Corp also wanted them. Kind of a running theme for Wings to run using human suffering as a fuel so we should assume every singularity functions similarly. Dongrang is absolutely gonna be the dungeon's final boss, if we have one per se. The story did leave me wondering, given that Gubo's only line in the flashback was going "why ain't you using the mirror for profit?" if he was the one who sold out the circle to get Yi Sang to bring the mirror to N Corp.

What I meant is there was no ulterior motive for the violence and massacre like getting stuff from N Corp or the prosthetic users going away, those were just bonuses. All Wings look for is to keep their Singularity working and develop on it, and they all run on suffering. K Corp uses snuff to make their cry and produce liquid, N Corp sends crazy, brainwashed zealots to collect human suffering distilled, W Corp and T Corp constantly put people on mileniums of suffering and isolation to collect time (and I wouldn't be surprised if the restore component of W Corp came from like, disassembling humans so they have fuel to restore). R Corp creates clones and makes them fight each other (albeit due to the Head rules). Old L Corp was something horrifying. Even Lobotomy Corp, despite having different goals, was founded on using the still living nervous system of a woman and tortured and experimented on people to make Abnos (as Forsaken Murderer's story tells us). For a crazy cultist Carmen had a point, the City has to have something to make Suffering such a driving fact of life outside of "Capitalism" memes. Not saying everyone is blameless, though, cause the most likely culprit is "the Head fosters an environment that incites suffering and horrible conditions"

They don't even care that much about developing on it unless it involves maximizing profits, too. Like sure W corp could maybe put research into how to make WARP trains not such a hellish nightmare, but why bother when T corp is buying up all that delicious time and there's no profit in it. As you said the cruelty is the point, the crushing status quo that demands that people twist themselves into monsters(sometimes literally) just to survive keeps the Head comfortably in power while their "Taboos" and the Claws that enforce them makes sure nobody can get any funny ideas about looking past themselves. My guess is they also have something of a savior complex where they enforce a culture that demands the people of the City be happy and grateful to the City, as shown by stuff like You Must Be Happy/Become Strong, Today's Shy Look, and how they seem to regard bringing attention to the plight of the lower classes as an affront. All this combined creates a City where only the most hosed-up psychos can get ahead. It's late-stage capitalism gone into sudden-death overtime.

Google Jeb Bush posted:"oh this seems like a much easier boss fight than kromer" Basically you want to win clashes to avoid letting Dongbaek accumulate Sanity as she will have some attacks with good coin bonuses. Also winning clashes is important to avoid accumulating the Blooming, which you can read what it does (basically it reduces your sanity and immobilizes you at 5+, which is not good). The first 2 turns is basically a freebie to accumulate the Sin resources for EGO while having some stronger skills clash with her attacks. Personally I'd say go for Faust's Representation Emitter or Heathcliff's Bodysack, the latter being both easier and more potent. Faust's Representation Emitter is good in generally cause you got 7 Sinners to benefit from it, and to partially deal with Blooming. In the first phase of the real boss fight (so turn 3 & beyond), Dongbaek will spawn 4 saplings that she will try to grow which will give buffs to herself, thankfully these are pretty easy to kill and can be one tapped by S1s. The thing about these saplings is that unlike the Doomsday Calendar minions, when they die, they die for real, so you get a lot of bonus from the Bodysack passive if you play things right. Repeat this until Dongbaek gets tired of your anti-tree tactics, where she will spawn 4 fully grown trees that you can either destroy by beating the clash against its attack (a la Knight of Despair) or just killing it. The next turn she will have 2 AOE attacks with high base power & coin bonus that also gets power if any of these fully grown trees are around. After this, she will then have a single attack to mark a certain Sinner to duel. All the other Sinners will get trapped in the bushes and you want to win the single clash against Dongbaek for 2 turns, after which she will become staggered and you can finish her off. edit: I saw your post but didn't saw that you won right after so I feel like Windows Vista.
