SMT4 question

I've been saving up app points for MP recovery while walking. But then I arrived at Tokyo, which has :siren: A World Map :siren: and easy access to healing almost constantly. And also, this being SMT, the recovery could easily be something like 1 MP in 2 minutes. So, will there ever be a dungeon long enough to make it worth it? It is hella expensive too.

It can't recall anything about the actual numbers, but it's definitely worth it in the later dungeons.

A note: It only recovers MP for the main character (there's an upgrade that heals the whole party's MP, but you have to be at like level 30 I think?). I dunno, it's not bad to have, especially if your MC has some crucial healing skills, but you may want to go for the extra skill slots for your MC and demons (ooh, and the Compendium discount ones).

I bought it when I was still wandering around Naraku, and it seems totally useless. You get in a fight before a noticeable amount of MP regenerates.

The second MP recovery upgrade is much better though and it unlocks a party MP recovery upgrade that makes it so you never have to worry about MP again. Definitely worth but expensive (150 app points in total).

Every puzzle has an answer.
You can pretty easily replace the MP recovery app with Spirit Drain, which should be available soon on Mou-Ryos and a bunch of other demons. If you want to mess around with other apps, this might be the way to go. I went with both, because I'm paranoid. The first level of MP Recovery will probably only diminish the drain on your magic if you're a caster, but the second easily allows you to Megido every encounter like you're some sort of an rear end in a top hat end-game boss.

For reference, I am level 41 now and have unlocked all the skill slots for both Flynn and demons, the first two tiers of MP Recovery, and some other random stuff. The skill slots on demons seem to be the most useful, since they allow you to pass over skills from early on that will still be useful later, like Dekaja or Resist X.

I can hear you
There's a period where its worthless because you just level up before you run out of mana. Level 1 was enough for me to cast a spell every fight and be full for the next one. Level 2 is the never run out of MP except for bosses one and the party wide one's usefulness depends on your demons' mana pools and how often they need to cast a spell. Mana items are plentiful so it depends on how mindless you wanna go. I love just throwing out moves and hate having to pay attention so I grab them asap.

Skill slots for both main guy and demons are the priority though, like Aithon says it lets you start building up some good inheritance.

This run I'm going as a magic man after doing dex before and I'm not sure how to fill my slots. One of each element (either single or all target) and Almighty is 5 slots, 1 for Concentrate, what do I stick in the last 2 slots? A drain? An instakill move like Die For Me or Judgement Light? Doping? A heal? Or are those best left for a support guy with the buffs and debuffs?

Not that early I don't think. Just wait until you've done some/all of the next story dungeon, that's what everyone else does.

You can come back to the optional bosses later, you don't need to fight them right away.

I liked having one of each of the normal elements. Dunno that you can get Die for Me! or Judgement Light on Flynn. Antichthon is a combination Debilitate and severe Almighty damage attack if you're talking about late game. I also had Salvation and Luster Candy.

Flynn can get Die For Me! and Judgement Light. It was surprisingly useful for random encounters. Especially if you have someone faster than him to take out anyone who's immune to one or the other.

it's pretty much up to you. once you've got something for all the not-instant-kill elements and concentrate, the last slots are just icing on the cake.

You can definitely do Judgement Light because I blasted down most of the final dungeon with it last playthrough. I'm pretty sure you can do Die For Me! also but I've had that and Media disappear from my skill list and you don't really get a second chance for Die For Me! unfortunately. Antichthon sounds perfect for later. I'm thinking Trisagion/Thunder Reign and the other special fancy elemental moves when that time comes. Just got the -dynes as I hit the clear out the corpses quest. Salvation is definitely an idea too.

i don't know that you can pass down die for me! in which case you'd need to level a new alice every time you want to upgrade it. not sure on that though. judgement light can be passed down for sure.

also one of the dlc demons (ancient of days) gives an improved concentrate, so if you have those, definitely pick that up later.

You can just register the demon like right before the point it does a demon whisper and just rebuy the demon and level it up really quickly to get a bunch of quick +1s for your skills. Hella expensive though.

I grinded to level 22 and got myself a King Frost with Resist Physical and Bufula which was more than enough to overthrow the monarchy :cool:
And then the king didn't use Rampage even once anyway so I basically wasted my time

The King is kind of a trap in that he's grossly overleveled for when he's first accessible. He's more manageable when you reach the next dungeon's boss.

Contrarian King isn't even that hard if he doesn't abuse Rampage, which just seems to be overpowered for the level at which you'd likely give him a shot.

I've been waiting for ozgameshop.com to put up P4U for pre-order, and they finally did but their page doesn't say if it comes with the Tarot cards or not. I sent them a query about it and got a non-answer. Looks like I'll be ordering from you. And I get a shirt, too. Neat.
