first two from my short tryout: 1: tailsman guy, you know what this guy does by now, he applies a lot more tailsmans but just throw them back onto him when he goes defensive and he'll be debuffed to poo poo 2: backward clock is back and it's pissed. hard caps bleed/burn damage at 5 count 30 potency(because burn was apparently just so devastating), but takes +1 potency/count from all sinking sources. Is a Poise boss of all things, and gains a shitton of it and fat damage boosts just from having it rather than if it crits like IDs. also increases damage based on total railway turn count(but you can reset it by breaking the body). uh just don't get hit. e: it also resists everything like an rear end in a top hat but gives itself a bunch of fragile from poise once you break it's arm e2: #3: da fox. it has a dickish trick where it spawns the umbrellas and then just sits there with like 4 counters up Yinlock fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Sep 14, 2023 |

After a sloppy win against the fox that killed poor Don Quixote, I decided to finish my first attempt after one cycle. The terminus fight seems interesting, but I'll have to wait until I'm less tired to decode it. I'm still having some trouble deciding which Uptie/Threadspin tier 4s are most worth the investment. I've made notes on what seems to get the most extensive changes, but it's hard to plan ahead for what kind of strat I want to save up my thread for.

Most the ID uptie 4's are marginal and only really matter if you're trying to get a gimmick team going, with charge being the ur-example. If you're just aiming at pure power, then you should uptie the EGO that gain multitargets and big effects, like fluid sack faust, which gains 5 aoe and total refund of it's sanity cost, or telepole don which gains 3 AOE and triples its charge output. They have big, flashy effects that uptie 4 effectively multiplies and changes them from clash winning supermoves to fight ending supermoves.

It's a weird one but the basic rules are pretty simple, (spoilers for terminus boss) The Roses take double damage from the same sin as they use and half from every other sin. One rose is spawned per sinner, with a sin identity that matches that sinners skill 1. Every turn a rose lives they hit the matched sinner for 25% of their max health, when a rose dies that sinner is healed instead. The boss itself is basic clashing boss. The roses don't necessarily do a lot of damage, so you can focus the most important ones down first (Whichever one is attached to Faust for example, so you can use her Fluid Sac EGO to keep everyone else up). Make sure to kill all roses before 4 turns have passed, you can see which rose is for which sinner from the buff the rose has.

so yeah W Hong Lu's shields definitely aren't working, they say they'll get around to fixing it on the 21st because gently caress you if you're using a charge team before then I guess. Guess i'll leave the railway till then e: Ryoshu's on-kill barrier also doesn't work apparently so the effect itself is just shot e: Onehandclapping posted:Most the ID uptie 4's are marginal and only really matter if you're trying to get a gimmick team going, with charge being the ur-example.

They have big, flashy effects that uptie 4 effectively multiplies and changes them from clash winning supermoves to fight ending supermoves. Fluid Sac already had 5 aoe, it just gets some extra SP on Heads which isn't really worth it most of the time generally anything strong that goes from 1 to 3 aoe is a good investment. Good examples are Don's Telepole as stated, Ardor Blossom Star, Hong Lu's Dimension Shredder and Heathcliff's AEDD e2: also yeah as you said Charge IDs in particular benefit massively from UT4 for some reason.

well Rime Shank just did 200x2 damage to the dummy, that seems strange. I guess it was a combination of sin weakness and the ridiculous 5 coin attack clash, but still. So uh protip: use that e: just did it again for 211 without the big clash, rolled tails on damage too. the shank just fucks this thing up for some reason e2: and now 394 on the fox, ok apparently rime shank is just the most beastly ego ever on rosedion and i never noticed Yinlock fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Sep 14, 2023 |

So any general tips for Railway? Won't start it yet but wanna make sure I'm prepared. Going by above post Rime Shark is worth Tier III'ng and Sinking in general seems to be good? Biggest doubt is if to go with Boatworks or Reindeer Ish, otherwise everyone else has a pretty sure ID (since I got all of them save for Cinq Don/Blade Sinclair/Kurokumo Ryoshu/Seven Faust).

Biggest doubt is if to go with Boatworks or Reindeer Ish, otherwise everyone else has a pretty sure ID (since I got all of them save for Cinq Don/Blade Sinclair/Kurokumo Ryoshu/Seven Faust). I was using someone else's UT4 rosedion/shank for the awooga damage, dunno if it makes a difference or not. Either Ish works so just go with whoever you feel like. There's repeatable boosts for every ailment so theme teams work well, though I'd steer away from Burn as one boss caps it fairly low. Sinking is probably the best general-use ailment as the enemies that cap it can take SP damage and so get their coins ravaged by it anyway, and Charge's bonus is a nice +2 per turn(for a max of +10/turn which is not useful but very funny). You can also just boost damage type/sin damage if you'd rather unga it. I'm currently going through with a Charge team. You will need multiples of all 3 damage types, anything a boss resists they really resist so you need some attack variety. You especially need a slasher or two ready to go by cycle 2 or so. I will say that Gloom/Envy seems consistently useful sin-wise, though not always. Also unlike RR1 there's no healing unless you want to waste a cycle buff so Miss Fluid Sac 2023 is a must as always.

Okay, I guess Faust grips once again, and bringing BoatIsh and SpiceSang for pierce/Sinking, WDon and Ryo for slashing, NSinclair and RRodion for Bash... and then see what I do with the rest. Could go Zwei Gregor+K KorpLu for a mix of Slash/Pierce/Tank if needed. And then Rhino Gregor/Seven Outis/R Heath to finish? I gotta find whoever has the best U4 character to replace.

UT4 L Faust can work for clashing, though you sacrifice the Gaze damage. RRodion is also Pierce as her S2 is the big damage one and it's pointy, this makes her p. much always useful in some capacity. W Don has Leap and W Ryoshu can slash fragility enemies who resist her(which won't nullify it but helps somewhat) so both can be brought pretty much anywhere. Those 3 and L Faust have been in most fights, though Rodion gets swapped out sometimes. I brought Rhino Meur but only used him once so far against the slash rear end in a top hat, he definitely contributed there though. R Heathcliff is R Heathcliff as always and can still deal damage when heavily resisted, it just won't be much until they're staggered. I don't think he's ever left my team??? I just forget he exists a lot because he's a constant. 7 Outis bullies the hell out of the early cycles but gets in trouble with clashing later on as usual. Not as much as in MD2 though. e: lol just ran into this twist  more like fairy dickhead Yinlock fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Sep 14, 2023 |

Sinking is super pushed on the first two fights, with a +1 to all application and a limit to the amount of bleed and burn you can apply, but the third fight limits sinking and pushes bleed so there's probably a balance of status effects to optimize and you don't need to go all in on sinking. I've seen the first three bosses, and in order of type and tactics: 1. The talisman dummy, with its stats boosted up to MD2H levels so you have to actually interact with the mechanics to win. Weak to sinking, strong against bleed, and super punishes you for burn by burning you back. The goal is to balance the talismans it gives you for the first couple turns so that they're only on 3, maybe 4 people, then hand them all back on the defense phase. It's parts are weak to blunt but strong against slash. I think Rishmael and faust are the obvious all stars for this fight, Rishmael because she's a huge blunt clasher, and faust because she brings fluid sack which lets you get your sinners up to max sanity really easily. 2. A steampunk robot, from the nixie divergence random event. It's got pretty much the same strengths and weaknesses as the talisman man, with some interesting mechanics around turns taken in the fight and overall in the railway. It's got two parts, the body and the steam gun, and it's alternating between high damage and fragile and low damage and protection depending on what turn the railway clock is on. It's building up poise for a big shot with the gun, but the gun has relatively low hp, is breakable, and it loses poise as you hit the gun, so the goal is to kill the gun asap. It felt like a freebie fight imho, but they'll all gain more mechanics after loops so maybe it'll build up. 3. The sunshower fox. Seems pretty much the same as the MD2H version, but it limits total sinking, buffs bleeding, and is weak to pierce and slash. Haven't had the chance to fight it today, but it just seems like a curveball to keep you alternating your team. As far as team composition goes, specialized ID's are almost certainly going to be the way to go in both damage types and status application, then picking for clash power and damage. That means the R-corp are a shoe in since they have all that in spades. Then bringing a good faust, either Laust or Grippyfaust, is going to be basically mandatory, since she has fluid sack and it's basically indisputably the best ego in the game, between high damage and giving your whole team sanity and healing. Sinking and bleed are the easiest types to fit in, since Rsault and Rish are both pillars for the types, so it's probably Kkonglu and either Kkryo or chefryo for bleed, and Spiceysang, Goutis, and Rosedya with rimeshank for sinking. Then for Don there's options, since Wdon is an allstar for getting charge up and doing big hits, but she could also go Cinqdon since she has time to build up duels and win clashes hard. Gregor is probably best as Zweigor tanking hits, but I could see there being a burn hating boss that Liugreg can shine against. Last is Gripclair, who's just the best ID he has and does a bit of burn and a lot of damage.

No that is intended, they put out a notification about fight 2 being bugged but the way it is bugged is not what you would expect. It is meant to get permanent resistance to all damage types, but that is specifically meant to be on the turn after the body is broken. Currently it gets them the same turn the body is broken. The intended play pattern is to try and kill it the turn the body breaks.
