Hey folks, is there a way to take my online save offline?

I completed the base game and I kinda want to do some crafting, but my god is it expensive and tedious. It'd be so much better if I could just give myself a whole bunch of materials with a save editor.

What the gently caress is Cover Move?

I can't seem to find it in their masteries, so I have no idea why some guys just plain don't take any sort of ranged damage

Ranger skill, gives huge increase to dodge when in cover. Put it on Heixing, and he and the Skull pistol guys can spend the entire mission shooting, revenge shooting, and support firing at each other without ever landing a single bullet.

Ah, that explains why I wasn't seeing it in masteries then, my Hexing is a Sweeper so I never ran across it.


And yeah, gently caress that last mission was tough. I was only able to clear it by running the left group over to the right as soon as the mission started, and even then it almost went tits up. Without Kylie to hack an EMP immune Destron I dunno what I would have did.

Anyone played the Ordinary cases? Part of me wants to wait for the Misty DLC so I can use her in those for variety's sake.

Yeah, they were kinda a cakewalk, especially compared to that last story mission. The Crabmint one was just my Bianca cleaning up and then waiting like 3 turns for the last burrowed sumbitch to resurface. :argh:

So I have possibly a dumb question. I need the lightning mastery "Accelerate Nerve Network" for my Sion Black Mage build. It's showing that its the lvl 16 mastery for the Gold Tongue frog monster.

I haven't messed around with beast taming at all because I couldn't be hosed to, but am I goona have to figure that poo poo out and tame this bitch in order to learn that? Or do I unlock it once I complete gathering information on it and hit "receive rewards"? I can't remember how this research poo poo works.

You have to tame it, unfortunately. Many monsters learn skills from leveling that they don't have in the wild, and a lot of the higher level elemental masteries are learned that way.

fffuuucckkkk :(

Time to learn taming and repsec Giselle entirely I guess

Walh Hara posted:

I think Sniper Giselle can also tame beasts?

Either way, taming beasts is a really awesome mechanism. You can do a lot of fun builds and the beasts can get insanely strong.

Yeah, I think forgot it was just an ability you could set. It's just something I avoided since there's already so much mechanical complexity in this game.

gold tongue is probably the hardest monster to tame in the game.

I've been reading up on some stuff and it doesn't sound too bad if you prep/cheese it, but we'll see.

Edit: And tamed. That was pretty easy, dunno what the fuss was about. Just made Giselle as fast as possible, and a combination of Massiveness and Impulse Fields let her survive the one attack Gold Tongue got off.

Man I'm really deep down the taming hole now, I have 3 beasts to tame to get all the water masteries for Clarste's Misty build that I'm totally goona steal. Got myself a Draki Hatchling for the first bit, onto toxic crabmints and venom negooris.

There isn't any trick to getting legendaries other than getting the killing blow with the character that has all the item drop masteries equipped right? I've been farming Gyro for what seems like ages and this motherfucker refuses to drop a Necromancer bangle.

I have so, so many night scopes though I tell you what.

EDIT: Caught up on campaign missions. Guess I need to go back and try to farm Abandoned Supply Base and Iron Forest Secret Base? Destrons hosed me up bad last time I tried them so this is going to be rough.

Kylie's hacking really helps if you pull them slowly, and if you're willing to put in the work the Gold Negoori can one shot them with the right build.

Clarste posted:

Misty has a rogue mastery set that gives her +500% drop rate on legendaries, so get the kill with her, I guess.

I believe higher difficulties also have higher drop rates? Not sure.

Oh dang, whoch set/masteries do I need?

So I did the new story mission and Irene killed the boss in one hit which made me laugh, and then I got an achievement called "Who's the real monster?" and I laughed again. But now I have no idea how the mission was supposed to play out.

Same, except for me it was Leton who smoked the boss with a supercharged counterattack. Kind of a meh update tbh

your battle party size is 8, and there are 12 characters. plus craftable drones and recruitable monsters.

This goes up as the story goes on too, I can't remember exactly when but I do know that as you progress you should be able to take all your characters along on missons
