Easiest way to figure it out is go to the dummy and when you are doing the combo finishers that lead to the stance swap, the triangle move in the hud display will change names so when it does that, that's when you know to hit the button. In free stance it's at the end of the buzzsaw attack and in dawn stance it's during the second hit while she's sheathing.

I should also note that the stance swaps can chain like any other combo move so if you dodge or link attack or anything you can usually follow it up with the stance swap, even if you do weird poo poo like barely start the buzz saw attack and trigger a link attack right at the start of the animation. You should still be able to do the swap finisher into dawnfly. The only time this is tricky is following a SB.

Working my way through Maniac difficulty. Multi boss quests are hosed up! e: Maniac Gallanza is also hosed up, jesus. Been trying a stun/link focused build for Ghandagoza and it feels good to play imo. He gets 50% more damage cap for his charge attack from his specific sigil so I don't feel bad about not stacking a ton of damage cap sigils. I should start making more of an effort to clear adds and use their throwables. https://i.imgur.com/iJSmKQY.mp4 e: That feeling when you hit Raging Fist alongside the Full Burst finisher https://i.imgur.com/UZSo946.mp4 Diephoon fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Feb 4, 2024 |

Watch her animations, there'll be a kira-kira anime-rear end starburst animation whenever her combo finishes and is ready to do the stance swap, just press the stance swap button whenever you see it. My Vas is currently stuck at 350k damage cap but it turns out that elemental weakness lets you bypass the damage cap and it also turns out that Magielle is weak to dark, so Vas was just chunking Extreme Magielle and her weapons for 425k a pop.

However I do agree that the game suffers from ending fatigue, it's as if Cygames came up with 3 different endings to the story and instead of picking one, they decided to go with all 3 back to back.

I said come in! posted:For the Quest Counter, what would be the best Quest to do for weapon level uncap materials? Different materials by weapon so it’s not a straight answer. I have the same question though… like I needed 2 brown dragon scales to uncap a weapon and I had no idea where to get them. I ended up getting them from an appraisal curio and still don’t know. I checked the journal to see if it tells you where to find stuff, since the shop does tell you what quests items are tied to, but couldn’t find it. Maybe you need to add them to the wishlist and that highlights them somewhere? Unsure.

ultrachrist posted:Different materials by weapon so it’s not a straight answer. Yeah. Add them to your wishlist, then go to the quest counter. Enter the screen where you can pick quests and hit square and it will bring up your wishlist. You can then select an item and it will load up the quests that you can get that item from. Currently mad at the game. Working on upgrading ascension weapons to 150 and the mats that I am currently missing from all of them are dropped by assorted elemental dragons. The drop isn't guaranteed and it requires specific parts to be broken and the game really sucks at telling you what can be broken and when something is broken. It's kinda easy to guess; presumably I get the horn from breaking the horns, but the only way to catch that they're broken is if you see a mat drop show up on the lefthand side of the screen. Or blessedly, these quests have "break all breakable parts" as a quest objective so you can know.

Ghandagoza is real cool but his gimmick of really needing to keep his combo string going uninterrupted and charging up for one huge attack feels pretty bad for a lot of the main story quests where you're fighting waves of little dudes instead of big bosses. Maybe I'll pick him back up after playing through the main story and reaching the "now it's just monster hunter go grind bosses a lot" mode.

Hit credits, I think the ending lost a little momentum but it was still a lovely time. And I'm glad to see we still have some story for those 8 postgame quests. I'm really hoping for a rematch version of some of those unwinnable pseudo-fights, and I will be VERY surprised if Lilith isn't down to fight some more after merely getting pushed off a ledge. Now that the Captain isn't a mandatory part of party, I grabbed Ferry, and she's quite fun to play! I was hoping for something a little less button mashy, and those press and hold whip attacks feel very nice. Seems like a less technical Rosetta with more appealing aesthetics that I find easier to understand. Probably going to main her for this next chunk, though the spoiler character also feels very fun.

Concepts like damage cap and supplemental damage should've been left behind in the gacha game. Agreed. Now I'm left wondering if crit works like the gacha game where it's kinda like bonus damage or what

Got into Proud. The quest to rank up out of Maniac is hosed up, prepare to tweak your build for even more damage and be willing to retry the quest if you get a group that makes it even halfway through. Guessing most people's builds will look like this going into Proud. Waiting til you get Damage Cap V sigils and full upgrades to free up slots for the things you actually want to use. Obviously I'll be able to swtich off of Potion Hoarder at some point once the end game community and myself are more experienced with the game, but until then I am chugging pots like nobody's business. Had to swap out my super armor skill to get the damage aura. Self buffed I'm getting close to a million charged hit damage on the dummy though! e: after 30 minutes crafting, shopping, and regearing Diephoon fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Feb 5, 2024 |

I also had a terrible time playing him in the story. I feel like I have been greatly rewarded by sticking it out with him. He is absolutely better to play once you start getting into the post game gearing systems. Knowing what I do now, I wish I had just played through the story as Siegfried. Practicing timed attacks on him will get you used to maintaining combo attack rhythm, and he's a great character in his own right while not having his damage all in one charge attack basket like Ghand. If you like Ghand though it feels incredible when you pull off his attacks. Whenever I play other characters I keep thinking "I could be a badass Fist of the North Star grandpa right now."

Here are your defensive options in Proud (especially multi-mon arenas): - Guts - Autorevive (doesn't count towards the objective critical/faint number) - Invincible buff from either Vane or Katalina - Pot Hoarder on your controlled character - gosu iframing The endurance fights have MMO/Dragalia Lost style DPS checks so make sure you're damage cap capped

Gyoru posted:Here are your defensive options in Proud (especially multi-mon arenas): You can also stack damage cuts in this game, unlike the Gacha where they have to come from different types of sources, so Charlotta's cut + Phalanx II or higher is a 100% cut. EDIT: Also, Enmity attackers should stock up on Garrison (Def up as HP down) for survivability. There's not an equivilent Stamina def up, though, so Stamina attackers should look for cuts and def up.

going to be honest i have not used the block button in a fight once in the last twenty hours but i suspect maybe i should start to with the crewmate cards, i see that the level that you get characters goes up as you level up. what's that max out at, and should i just wait until i'm at that max level to get all the characters? i guess they'll level up as i go if i just get a bunch of characters now (i'm sitting on 5 cards lol), but they also start with more masteries unlocked and higher level weapons if i wait, i assume i do wish this game had slightly more guidance about where i should be trying to get characters to in terms of masteries/weapon upgrades beyond the PWR number abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Feb 5, 2024 |

abraham linksys posted:going to be honest i have not used the block button in a fight once in the last twenty hours but i suspect maybe i should start to You can dodge out of a block so a lot of times it's a good option I think. I've gotten a couple double unique sigils, Charlotta's in particular seems crazy good. 5 seconds of invincibility sounds like an eternity. On top of that she has a personal invincibility skill and a 50% team damage cut skill. She can also distribue her SBA gauge with a skills so I'm wondering how much you can even build for SBA generation. Assuming her skill cooldown trait stacks with Cascade and there's no internal cooldown on those. I'm not particularly interested in playing Yoda, the ones i've seen in MP have either been untouchable gods or on the floor every time there's something you're supposed to avoid. His sigil traits don't seem particuarly interesting imo, they'll just make him pump even harder. I guess if you could stack team Mirror Image that might be cool? I also got a Yoda unique trait and ranged attack damage on the same sigil, interesting that things can roll that way if you're only interested in one specific unique trait and not the other. Improved Dodge has been a gamechanger and I haven't even maxed it out yet. I was reading the Charlotta channel in the reddit discord and someone in there said they have a sigil that turns every dodge into a perfect dodge. e: My game got soft locked during matchmaking so I alt f4'd, not realizing I hadn't saved recently, so I lost the Charlotta sigil.

The DPS checks really shouldn't be much of an issue, as long as your group is saving chain burst for those phases. You shouldn't have to respec to maximize damage or anything.

Just completed Chapter 3 and yep, this part was made by Platinum all right. Was anyone else playing on Hard for the story campaign? It's not giving me much trouble but I think that is mostly by design. Also, I want to verify what happened with the development of this game, at least as far as we know and will probably ever know. From what I heard: 1. Cygames goes to Platinum for this game. They work out the initial scope and time frame and agree to it, and they get to work. 2.The timeframe comes and goes but Cygames decide that they want to expand the scope of the game beyond what was initially agreed. 3. For whatever reason, Cygames does not extend the contract with Platinum. 4. Platinum hands over development of the game to Cygames to develop internally. I also hear that the director for the game during the time with Platinum was also poached over.
