I jumped the gun and converted my enkephalin to modules before checking for story content, as I usually do. I think I'll just wait for tomorrow before I continue.

PetraCore posted:I used the 40 on BHK Meursault and then did some luxcavation (and focusing on buying XP tickets first) to get BL Faust to 36, finish bumping BL Outis to 40, and I've got Kurokumo Hong Lu and Rodya sitting at 35. I finished 10 out of the 12 stages with no problem, but after that you might want to take some time to get people up further. The solo boss fight before the dungeon really needs identities at level 35 or above. Edit: Also, I think we've got our first solid hint what's up with Dante's past The LCD called them "Detective" and Dante's abilities are centered around Distortions, EGO, Abnormalities and such. Dante might be Moses. Oh the LCD member is Ezra, Dante is probably Moses the titular "Distortion Detective". Nevermind, Moses is working with Ezra as the leader of the LCD. But Dante is still related to their story somehow. Lord_Magmar fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Feb 22, 2024 |

Having completed the chapter with a Blade Lineage team, I can say for certain that without Lucky Pouch, you're definitely better off ditching Outis and Sinclair for Captain Ish and Cinqlair. Hell, even with Lucky Pouch you'll be better off with Cinqlair. Kim handing out a bit more Poise and an extra 1 power with his S1 and S2 is not worth those albatrosses around your team's neck. The team desperately wants to hit that 3-res Pride combo every single turn for the Homeland and Don buffs, and Outis and Sinclair just gently caress that up by only having Pride on their S3s - though Outis at least has a Pride Evade at UT4 so she can at least make up for it by doing literally nothing for a turn. They're also piss weak compared to Don, Yi Sang and Faust.

Event story done, and did a MD3H run with the full Blade Lineage crew. First impressions, this team is nuts. Meursault and Don provide a truly silly amount of poise count between them, making it trivially easy to rev up Yi Sang and Sinclair. Outis can (and probably should) be subbed out for a better poise unit, but as is, the team's really fun and effective. No regrets getting them all to UT4 and 40. Seconding the comments on the event boss though. In all three of my fights with him, he's gone down before he did any meaningful mechanics. Definitely going to be my go-to so long as he's in MD3.

Happily, between all the identities (Pequod Heathcliff, Captain Ishmael and Magic Bullet Outis, etc) there are a few standout choices for that slot. ...Come to think of it, could probably do something funny with just Captain Ishmael and Blade Lineage Mersault. gonna have to try that later

kurokumo greg would greatly prefer someone else did the actual clashing, while they slap on the one-sided offense downs/plus coin drops. would probably get along with base faust and N-Corp heathcliff as fellow next-turn-debuffers.

I always forget to pay attention to stuff like that in non-focused encounters while i'm doing the extremely mentally taxing task of lining up all the blue hexagons. Their bleed is also pretty nasty, if you're not careful Meursault will take 13 damage any time he does anything for a bit which hurts. Almost lost him that way but he landed at 1 hp because the enemy died on the action he would have died to Bleed damage. His HP bar hit 0 then rolled back to 1, so I guess that's how that edge-case works. That said bone claimer is loving hilarious when the AoE goes off, it is a absurd tempo swing that will wipe out half the enemy group Marluxia posted:Gregor is supposed to be Gin, the Kurokumo goon from Library of Ruina.

I think if you want to maximise scabbards the dungeon in the story is better still, but there's obviously other reasons to want to do two things at once (Scabbards and MD3 Clears).

Solitair posted:I can't even figure out how to beat Kim outside the dungeon. Do I just never clash? He has a super consistent pattern. Once you know this you can aim to stagger him on the turn he uses TCTB and then turbo murder him the next turn. You can also potentially Chains of Others him the turn he uses the counter attack (which happens the turn before TCTB). If you cannot stagger him, make sure you get the shield from TCTB gone before it goes off, and then try to crack it with a strong enough EGO if you can. But you really should just try to rip his Health up in 3 turns before he whacks your whole team.

Oh this is mirror dungeon normal, I don’t need to level them—just uptie to 4 and they’re ready to go. And since I got so much of the currency from the basic run-through I think I can just do the rest of the farming automatically doing my usual daily MDs. Just… with poise for the bonus I guess.

My issue with Kim isn't so much his super as me not knowing how to handle someone who exclusively uses negative coin attacks. Those attacks get harder to win clashes against the more they lose coins, not easier, so it's real easy for Kim to win clashes, lose sanity and then win more clashes. That's why I asked if I should even bother clashing.

I can also confirm, Blade Lineage Meursault using Chains of Others weakens his own clashing Yield My Flesh but not To Claim My Bones.Solitair posted:My issue with Kim isn't so much his super as me not knowing how to handle someone who exclusively uses negative coin attacks. Those attacks get harder to win clashes against the more they lose coins, not easier, so it's real easy for Kim to win clashes, lose sanity and then win more clashes. That's why I asked if I should even bother clashing. A big part of it is you absolutely need at least level 36 or above to clash him at all negative coins or not. But in terms of how to handle this, try to see what you can let through vs what you cannot. Also, remember that dodging exists and will solve a lot of problems, since you can still "clash" with a slower speed attack using a higher speed defensive ability. Meursault also solves all boss related problems with Chains of Others. Big important thing with negative coin enemies is don't paralyse them ever. Once you get Kim to a certain point ignoring clashing to swing for the win will be optimal, but until then just clash as best you can imo.
