hollow trail
#

the heavily nerfed mq phys?

#

maybe with charged herbs

dreamy orchid
#

why would you need charge tho

#

its 2x

#

you could also bloody charge naotroll

hollow trail
#

not even, then

ashen pulsar
#

if it's filling meter then it doesn't matter if it's doing "low" damage, even if i personally disagree on this front, it still does a lot, just obviously not as much as a bdjk full mastery save vs phases with weaknesses

dreamy orchid
#

Everyone also gains more theurgia charge when at lower HP, so Bloody Charge highkey optimal

#

you gain more charge for being at below half sp too

ashen pulsar
#

ken reference

hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

well ken gets a lot more than everyone else for it

hollow trail
#

nyx is a special case

#

i dont mind you scarlet havocing gatekeepers and full moons

ashen pulsar
#

wait so do the party member traits do nothing it's just set in the table?

hollow trail
#

i do mind you doing 2 9999 killshots to the final boss

hollow trail
#

yea

ashen pulsar
#

that's funny

dreamy orchid
#

they're not actual traits they are just flavor text

ashen pulsar
#

that's something i would do

hollow trail
#

that is technically the correct way to code it

dreamy orchid
#

the file for the description is literally called TheurgiaFlavorText.uasset or some shit lol

#

but yea its all just preset in the table

#

and there is another table for boss encounters where its the exact same values, just doubled

#

so you arbitrarily charge twice as fast on bosses

ashen pulsar
#

sexo

hollow trail
#

it's not arbitrary

#

it's the same thing as the fortune, but forced because you cannot get fortunes on those days

#

it's good design tbh

dreamy orchid
#

mc can get 20% charge per turn just from skills alone while doing minimum effort, even more if you're actively buffing/debuffing or at low sp

dreamy orchid
#

the fortune is a lot lower

hollow trail
#

ok give me the values then and i will immediately copypaste them to the boss table

ashen pulsar
#

isn't fortune 1.3

hollow trail
#

i do think it'll make some gatekeepers in yabbashah a fucking pain in the cock to beat though

#

and junpei will be dogshit

#

but i'll do it

ashen pulsar
#

cock??

dreamy orchid
hollow trail
#

why does mc charge from everything that is so funny

ashen pulsar
#

doesn't charge from analyze!!

dreamy orchid
#

shinji gets 10% for using any phys skill when aigis gets 12% despite that being her main condition

#

shinji arbitrarily charges like twice as fast as everyone else lmao

hollow trail
#

im ok with that

dreamy orchid
#

he is actual haxman

hollow trail
#

i will defend excessively OP shinjiro till the death of me

#

it's thematic

#

and not a huge deal

#

just 1 month

ashen pulsar
#

noooo

#

you will never die king

#

trust.

hollow trail
#

lol

dreamy orchid
#

i like him being op but not like making the game actual baby mode op

#

he should be better than the others but not like comically so

ashen pulsar
#

junpei reference

hollow trail
#

i disagree but it's not a balancing issue, it's a subjective plot opinion

dreamy orchid
#

do you think he landed a crit on ken's mom

hollow trail
#

having crazy powertrips in games is fine

#

doesnt really ruin it if the game goes back to being balanced after he's dead

ashen pulsar
hollow trail
#

prince akechi should've been op too

#

ngl

#

they fumbled that

ashen pulsar
#

yeah

dreamy orchid
#

dark akechi should've been comically broken

hollow trail
#

give him the boss stats

dreamy orchid
#

Nah bro

#

give him magic mastery, tyrant's mind, magic ability and like exclusive shit nobody else gets

ashen pulsar
#

if prince akechi was oddly op despite being a "new" persona user that would've been a way more thematic tell than the fucking pancake shit

dreamy orchid
#

make him undeniably number 1

ashen pulsar
#

there can only be one number 1

dreamy orchid
#

TRUE

#

If only Nanjo/Elly were op in EP

ashen pulsar
#

elly is

hollow trail
#

at this point im gonna have to replay the entire game every time i make an update

dreamy orchid
#

Oh wait

hollow trail
#

this is so destructive lol

dreamy orchid
#

Tatsuya is the OP character in EP

ashen pulsar
#

don't strain yourself meow meow

hollow trail
#

the game has been balanced in isolation but no one's actually tried a start to end run

dreamy orchid
#

I like how P4's endgame character is terrible meanwhile the endgame character in every other game is pretty goated

ashen pulsar
#

bdjk will play it a third time

hollow trail
#

when are YOU playing it

dreamy orchid
#

you can't convince her to play p3n

#

she won't do it

hollow trail
#

i'll consider it a win if i do

ashen pulsar
#

in exchange, 1 date?

hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

when are we getting the meovv p5 mod to make akechi busted

hollow trail
#

lol

ashen pulsar
#

i think it's funnier that he sucks

#

trolled

dreamy orchid
#

I think my message got automodded

#

cus i said he performs better than

#

naoto

ashen pulsar
#

i saw it for half a second

#

butter than

#

would be cool to see a meow meow p5 tho

hollow trail
#

ok here's what i think i should do then

  • Reduce Jin's HP to 12000
  • Make Fuuka give you a Cookie before Takaya and Nyx if you don't have one
  • Reduce Nyx (Fool)'s HP by half?
  • Increase Debilitating Sutra price to 5x gem
  • Reduce Death phase HP?
  • Remove Scarlet Havoc from Punish
  • Lower boss Theurgia charge rates to 1.3x (Fortune Reading rates)
dreamy orchid
#

meovv is too scared to attempt to balance ryuji

#

he knows he's too good

hollow trail
#

i'd buff him

dreamy orchid
#

buff him but nerf morgana?

#

would be awesome

ashen pulsar
#

make eccentric temper a 1% chance to do 45x damage

dreamy orchid
#

make morgana's salvation cost 120 sp, give him no buffs besides dynes being better

ashen pulsar
#

valid

#

fuuocokie

hollow trail
#

is that the only takeaway femcmad

#

i'm cooked

ashen pulsar
#

no im sorry

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

uhhhh dbeilitate is good too

dreamy orchid
#

i think jin is the main problem

#

i watched the bdjk video and it was an actual slog lmao

hollow trail
#

yes

#

because of poison nerf

#

thats why i wanna reduce the hp

dreamy orchid
#

RIP Poison

#

no longer goated

hollow trail
#

so you armageddon him on phase 2

#

who give a fuck

#

just nuke him

dreamy orchid
#

mfs who didn't complete Star SL:

hollow trail
#

what are mfs who didnt complete star sl doing playing mq

ashen pulsar
#

me

hollow trail
#

returning players should know

dreamy orchid
#

master quest no social link run

hollow trail
#

bdjk proves its possible tho

dreamy orchid
#

possible, but kinda boring

#

jin should probably be a bit more aggressive after the stim is my takeaway

#

like he should keep using stronger skills rather than just reverting to his old pattern after the first megidolaon and vorpal blade

#

you can kind of tell the fight was originally designed with the idea he'd die right after using those

hollow trail
#

well yeah thats still really my intention

#

nerf his hp so you can do just that

#

4-theurgy his ass at the end

#

12000 would do it

dreamy orchid
#

i guess but i think he should also be more aggressive regardless for if you fuck up at killing him

hollow trail
#

i don't really know what you'd do

#

he's "violent" because he's fully charged

#

lol

dreamy orchid
#

though granted idk how threatening his normal pattern is cus bdjk went yukari only

hollow trail
#

it will be anticlimatic no matter what

#

after vorpal

dreamy orchid
#

i suppose so

hollow trail
#

still thinking abt death phase

#

scarlet havoc is not all that crazy anymore

#

i can remove from punish

#

and the 20k hp

#

i mean it seems fine

#

but maybe 15k

#

idk

iron pilot
#

Charging because I have shift boost shoes on him, he's mostly support in the fight so if Junpei crits, I'll usually pass to him

Well I think that'd be how players would usually go for

The cookie was mostly for me to last the death phase, I could optimize it to have something else other than Houo with invigs. But since that one's basically a ready made healer that can do magic null, I'd figure that'll be everyone's targets.

Good idea

I was throwing buffs intentionally, for stacking purposes. And to charge my theurgia to start without buffing again much later into the fight (I know I'll get Dekaja'd at Hermit).

I didn't have elec, actually. Even still, theurgia one shots with setup so lol

Yeah Hermit was basically the bit where I fucked up. That AoE elec is too strong imo (one shots full HP Mitsuru with Rakukaja)

The Morning Star is fine, that's also why I think the repel strat's fine. It needs intimate knowledge of the AI to work

I think I spammed too much items, Aigis and Koro had almost full SP at the end. I suspect that's fine, honestly.

That's mostly on setup, I had the mirrors so I'll use it. Maybe not everyone would so that's fine imo.

Nah, King and I needed Mastery for that to work that hard. It'll do about as much damage as Akihiko would with Electric Onslaught without it. Besides, I didn't do armageddon unlike the intended way. Then again, Trickster finally useful???

That's fine, it was after an entire set of the death phase AI. Givinf a players a breather is alright after all of those 15 turns.

hollow trail
# iron pilot Charging because I have shift boost shoes on him, he's mostly support in the fig...

The ideas I think I will implement then are:

Reduce Jin's HP to 12000
Make Fuuka give you a Cookie before Takaya and Nyx if you don't have one
Reduce Nyx (Fool)'s HP to 750
Increase Debilitating Sutra price to 7x gem
Remove Scarlet Havoc from Punish
Add Diarahan to the Punish (Grim Transcendence + Marakukaja + Heat Riser + Diarahan + Severe 1 More Chain + Night Queen)
Make the punish happen always instead of only once
Lower boss Theurgia charge rates to 1.3x (The rates you'd have if you had taken fortune reading)

iron pilot
#

Hm?

#

Oh right bosses have a different value

hollow trail
#

yeah apparently it's 2x

iron pilot
#

Lmao

hollow trail
#

i thought it was less

iron pilot
#

It's funny if it's vanilla

#

You just need one of them

hollow trail
#

wdym

iron pilot
#

One theurgia

#

You

#

Scarlet Havoc

#

In Vanilla

#

Or King and I if you have Mastery

hollow trail
#

but king/scarlet is fine for nyx if it has 20k hp no?

i'm thinking of doing diarahan on punish for armageddon so you're forced to use it to end the fight and cant just do it twice

iron pilot
#

Oh you mean like

#

How Liz works

hollow trail
#

no, because liz heals at half hp

#

nyx would not

ashen pulsar
#

liz does both

iron pilot
#

Nah OG Liz but after the first heal

hollow trail
#

i know

#

i am saying nyx would not heal on half

#

but would on armageddon

#

not spamming it

#

but as a response only

iron pilot
#

I wouldn't mind it

#

That's true, anyone would Armageddon twice if they know there's no punish

hollow trail
#

i need to make sure the command actually works the way i think it does

#

otherwise nyx would spam diarahan every turn

#

need to test

iron pilot
#

I think you can cannibalize Liz' AI

hollow trail
#

well

#

liz checks for the skill being used

#

but does it do just that

#

or does it set a flag

#

where if the flag is true it will always diarahan + megi

#

big difference

iron pilot
#

I'm not sure, all I know is she innately punishes Armageddon use if used prematurely

hollow trail
#

actually

#

im gonna troll

#

im gonna make it do the old punish

#

then do the "laughs audaciously"

#

then diarahan

#

all in one go

iron pilot
#

Oh that's funny

#

Dew it

iron pilot
#

So uh, want me to test?

#

I can solo to try

hollow trail
#

wouldn't you be wasting like

#

an hour

#

to get to death phase

#

i can make the other phases have like 100 hp

iron pilot
#

Nah solo is 30 mins or somethin'

hollow trail
#

to speed it

#

ah

#

sure

#

let me apply the other changes

#

(not sure how i feel about solo being easier)

iron pilot
#

Plus it's like, a good showing of how solo works with the new changes

#

ngl I'm probably the only one going to do it

#

Unless a challenge runner dude would

#

That and my personas are basically perfect after a lot of time trying that out

hollow trail
#

Reduce Jin's HP to 12000 โœ…

Make Fuuka give you a Cookie before Takaya and Nyx if you don't have one โŽ (too much effort, will implement later)

Reduce Nyx (Fool)'s HP to 750 โœ…

Increase Debilitating Sutra price to 7x gem โœ…

Remove Scarlet Havoc from Punish โœ…

Add Diarahan to the Punish (Grim Transcendence + Marakukaja + Heat Riser + Diarahan + Severe 1 More Chain + Night Queen) โœ…

Make the punish happen always instead of only once โœ… โ“(needs to be tested)

Lower boss Theurgia charge rates to 1.3x (The rates you'd have if you had taken fortune reading) โŽ (i can do it really quick though if you can wait a few minutes)

iron pilot
#

Take your time

#

I'll only be able to start in a hour

hollow trail
#

gotcha

#

might even try cookie code then

#

idk if i can

#

need to check if it's decompilable

iron pilot
#

Well I can't check that one

#

Since I have cookie already

#

Oh wait

#

I picked Champagne on my perfect save

ashen pulsar
#

DRINKING!!

iron pilot
#

Wait wouldn't that mean, like

#

If I picked Fuuka at christmas, I'm actively nerfing myself

#

Because I won't get cookie in that case

#

But if I have champagne or any other item, I would

#

Effectively having two of the same item

hollow trail
#

oh no

#

i'd check for champagne too

#

basically i'd check for you having any xmas consumable, and if not, fuuka would call you and give you either "a cookie" or "another cookie", depending on who you went with lol

iron pilot
#

When would she give the cookie, when you enter?

hollow trail
#

after picking "i'm ready", yeah

iron pilot
#

Me when writing another Fuuker Yamagishit romance flavor text

hollow trail
iron pilot
#

Wait that seems complex

#

Like, you need to have something that'll tell you if you picked her on christmas or not

ashen pulsar
#

Fuuka's Lesbian Cookie

hollow trail
#

yeah its flagged

iron pilot
#

Interesting

hollow trail
#

unless they un-flag it after the date

#

doubt

#

but its possible

#

i'll uh

#

not add it for now

#

since its technically not needed to win

#

but if it proves needed as softlock prevention then yeah

iron pilot
#

Armageddon Takaya

#

Ez gg

hollow trail
#

can only do it after the theurgia but yeah

hollow trail
ashen pulsar
#

I HATE HETEROSEXUALS

hollow trail
#

oh

#

ok

ashen pulsar
#

no wait

iron pilot
#

Alright.

ashen pulsar
#

fuck you bdjk

hollow trail
iron pilot
#

Thank you too, mate.

ashen pulsar
#

what does fuuka's non lesbian cookie do

hollow trail
#

it's a soma

#

so in mq it's uh

#

100% hp, 25% sp

#

battle-usable

#

only battle usable hpsp item in mq

#

(the other xmas gifts are too)

#

in the vanilla game it's a bead chain

#

soma is mitsuru's item

#

yuko has amrita soda

#

and yukari has precious egg

#

chihiro has +50 SP keychain

#

no

#

my bad

#

yuko is samarecarm

iron pilot
#

The keychain's extremely mid

hollow trail
#

sadly

iron pilot
#

Although honestly, out of everyone's gifts, it's probably the one that lasts the most

hollow trail
#

she plays long game

iron pilot
#

If it had a good effect and it's very fitting for the protag's playstyle, that'd be goated af

#

Something like boosting theurgia charge somehow maybe

hollow trail
#

magic mastery.

iron pilot
#

Lmfao

#

That'd be hilarious

hollow trail
#

want to make magic good???

#

date chihiro

iron pilot
#

"how tf did she even craft this"

hollow trail
#

change the keychain to "BL manga"

#

buffing magic with bl power

iron pilot
#

Buff Amp Boy will get it.

hollow trail
#

oh shit you could give it to buff amp boy

iron pilot
#

Unless you could make it like Nanako's gifts

#

Only equippable on protag

#

For obvious reasons

hollow trail
#

dont think i can

#

weapons have a tag but i think only weapons can have such a tag

#

wait

#

no

iron pilot
#

Isn't there a flag for armor to be character specific?

hollow trail
#

armors can

#

yeah

iron pilot
#

Not applicable for equips?

hollow trail
#

idk

iron pilot
#

Wouldn't hurt

#

Although mastery seems excessive maybe?

#

On the other hand though.....

ashen pulsar
#

magic needs it.

iron pilot
#

That seems like a very interesting gift compared to the others

"Here, have something that's usable in the hardest battle of your life"

hollow trail
#

as much as i like chihiro

#

i dont wanna make her too op

iron pilot
#

"it'll give you something to cheer you up"

#

"here have this to nuke"

#

"it's a Jack Frost keychain, reminds me of you"

hollow trail
#

"yuki-kun, don't ask how i got this"

armageddon fusion spell card item

ashen pulsar
#

ice driver equip

iron pilot
#

Goemon keychain

hollow trail
ashen pulsar
#

nyx pirate

hollow trail
#

nyx is pirating omg

iron pilot
#

One Piece

ashen pulsar
#

the one piece

hollow trail
#

the one piece (elec driver gloves)

ashen pulsar
#

real

iron pilot
#

Anyways I think it'd be interesting as a gift

Because it's technically not that good unless the player spec into it

#

But at that point you'll have the ingredients to do so

#

And it's only applicable to maybe two blocks and the final bosses

hollow trail
#

i would if it didn't essentially force you into a romance

#

even if it is the one i'd end up picking anyway troll

iron pilot
#

Shrimply don't mention in the patch notes what the item is changed into

ashen pulsar
#

i should do a chihiro cosplay...

iron pilot
hollow trail
#

does it not cover everything

#

or am i reading it wrong

#

oh

ashen pulsar
#

kill lightoru gojo?

hollow trail
#

i am

iron pilot
#

Maybe the other bits doesn't work

hollow trail
#

nah nah

#

i was misreading

#

it's not per character

#

it's per boost, with the characters in each enum

iron pilot
#

Oh.

hollow trail
#

yeah checks out

#

17 boosts

#

10 characters

#

yup

iron pilot
#

Yeah that guy's thorough

#

That's for sure

#

A bit hard to talk to (likes to explain everything in detail, for better or for worse)

#

But is very good at doing it

hollow trail
#

wait

#

charge ACTUALLY does count for buffboy's tgr

#

i was JOKING

#

you can charge and just not use it

iron pilot
#

Yeah it did

hollow trail
ashen pulsar
#

yukari x haxman op combo?

iron pilot
#

That's what I was doing too

#

Being in charge hastens the theurgia bar

hollow trail
iron pilot
#

His kit is very good with shift amp

dreamy orchid
#

jokes on you guys, its impossible to make magic mastery an equip

hollow trail
#

fuuka gains tgr if someone gets up?

dreamy orchid
#

i know because I've tried naotroll

hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

purrhaps

iron pilot
ashen pulsar
#

DESTROYED

hollow trail
#

but fuuka specifically has 100

#

and 0 everywhere else

#

oh no nvm

iron pilot
#

Well I guess her charge condition is supporting

hollow trail
#

she gets tgr on crits too

#

like if you crit she gets tgr

#

am i reading this right

iron pilot
#

And part of that is her protection proccing

#

Honestly? Idk

#

I could ask the guy

hollow trail
#

wait

#

the fortune stacks with bosses

#

so it works on liz

#

is it only liz it works on

dreamy orchid
#

yea

hollow trail
#

no it stacks on gatekeepers too

#

gatekeepers are bosses

iron pilot
#

Technically yeah but Liz is basically the only one where you can do that because soul fortune

#

Is only applicable to her practically

#

Everyone else is in a day where you can't do it

#

Oh yeah wanna know something fucking stupid?

hollow trail
#

ok

ashen pulsar
#

you?

iron pilot
#

You can't use Sylphid Aura on full moons

hollow trail
#

lol

ashen pulsar
#

what is that again

iron pilot
#

I tried

dreamy orchid
#

fuuka's auto-maraku/masuku thing

hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

its useless

ashen pulsar
#

never used any of fuuka's skills outside of empress/emperor

hollow trail
#

its not useless i needed it for one (1) fight

dreamy orchid
#

im pretty sure i unlocked the actual auto-ma's before she got it tho lol

hollow trail
#

you did not

iron pilot
#

I used them for the fraudihiko vids

hollow trail
#

thats not possible

iron pilot
#

Yeah idk if that's possible

dreamy orchid
#

oh nevermind she gets it very early

hollow trail
#

anyway it would be really good if analysis was free

dreamy orchid
#

damn i guess i just didn't realise it exsits

iron pilot
#

You only get auto mas at 30s

hollow trail
#

cuz i aint wasting SP on that shit

iron pilot
#

Spell Master on Fuuker optimal

dreamy orchid
#

oracle gives you heat riser guaranteed anyways tho so like its not very practical even without autos

iron pilot
#

Wait nah

#

Don't do that

#

Scanning gives theurgia boost

ashen pulsar
#

bussy

hollow trail
#

set to 0

iron pilot
#

Oh good point

hollow trail
#

but nah

#

im not changing scan cost

dreamy orchid
#

spell master fuuka

iron pilot
#

spell master Fuuka
Magic Ability Mitsuru

Which way

hollow trail
#

im looking at this theurgia table and honestly i cant think of anything i'd realisically want to change other than setting the boss table to 1.3x of the normal table

dreamy orchid
#

i mean

#

fuuka doesn't exactly run out of sp doors

iron pilot
#

She would in the Nyx fight

dreamy orchid
#

so i don't think spell master on her is anything other than a meme strat

iron pilot
#

Her SP bank doesn't get bigger in this one

dreamy orchid
iron pilot
#

I don't think that can be assumed to some players

dreamy orchid
#

most players probably don't even scan at all

#

tbh

hollow trail
#

oh

#

hold a fucking second

#

boss table isn't flat 2x

#

yukari charges LESS on bosses

iron pilot
#

What did they mean by that?

ashen pulsar
hollow trail
#

250 normal
350 fortune
200 boss

#

on yukari heal

ashen pulsar
#

incredible

dreamy orchid
#

i know recovering from down is doubled

iron pilot
#

Maybe intended because "they heal a lot on bosses"

ashen pulsar
#

healing during the boss throwing?

iron pilot
#

Lmao

dreamy orchid
#

tbf 20% charge for casting one (1) healing skill is still really good lmao

hollow trail
#

this isnt x2 at ALL

ashen pulsar
#

onion chan lied??/

#

or was it bdjk

#

kill bdjk

dreamy orchid
#

i assumed it was 2x but i only really took a glance at it

#

recovering from down was multiplied so i assumed the rest was too lol

hollow trail
#

yeah i cant just copypaste this

#

it would break balance

dreamy orchid
#

yea buff amp guy gets the same boost from buffs on bosses as he does in normal fights

iron pilot
#

Tf

ashen pulsar
#

haxman w?

#

always at full power?

dreamy orchid
#

oh i see whats happening

#

their boosts from using any skills at all is more than doubled

#

so the charge feels about twice as fast regardless of if you fill conditions or not

hollow trail
#

items L???

iron pilot
#

Yeah technically I'm nerfing my theurgia charge rate

#

On the other hand, Nyx is a fight where you get down'd a lot

#

So if you take calculated risks, you charge faster

hollow trail
#

wouldn't it be funny if the table accepted negative ints

ashen pulsar
#

buff anti amp

hollow trail
#

downed? lose all TGR

dreamy orchid
#

Aki gets +10% for phys/magic/crits/weak on bosses wheras he only gets +3% for these normally

hollow trail
#

please this would be so funny

dreamy orchid
#

wouldn't that just make it impossible to charge theurgia against bosses who anub

hollow trail
#

i said funny not good

dreamy orchid
#

would also make it impossible for aigis and yukari to do anything against hermit naotroll

#

actually yes this would be funny af

hollow trail
#

anyway

#

i have decided

#

i will not touch theurgia rates

#

(for now)

ashen pulsar
#

๐Ÿฑ

iron pilot
#

Lining up a killshot on hermit is easy (I didn't do it because it's intended and not because of skill issue I swear)

dreamy orchid
#

wait tf

#

why does yukari get a lower boost from using magic against a boss than akihiko does?

hollow trail
#

haxman

iron pilot
#

Good question

dreamy orchid
#

aki isn't even a magic character lmao

iron pilot
#

Haxman

hollow trail
#

buff amp makes theurgia rate 1.3x by default

ashen pulsar
#

real

dreamy orchid
#

Yukari is cucked in bosses holy shit

dreamy orchid
ashen pulsar
#

yukari in the chair who's she watching

dreamy orchid
#

he gets like 2.5x lmao

hollow trail
#

yukari is cucked in general i picked mitsuru

ashen pulsar
#

no...

dreamy orchid
iron pilot
#

They synergize on reaper kills

dreamy orchid
#

Haxman is the strongest character in the game (when not counting theurgia) !!!!

hollow trail
#

mq haxman is good...

iron pilot
#

His theurgia is undeniably good now in MQ

ashen pulsar
#

Haxman is the strongest character in the game (when not counting theurgia) !!!!

dreamy orchid
#

In Master Quest he's quite sizably stronger than junpei (when not factoring crit rates or theurgia)

iron pilot
#

And is a decent shift into character

#

Arguably more than Junpei (he does the shifting to him)

hollow trail
iron pilot
#

Actually I wanted to test, like

How strong would they be at level 99 hitting the reaper on crit

#

I think Junpei will win

dreamy orchid
iron pilot
#

In vanilla

ashen pulsar
dreamy orchid
#

with unmodified stats? Junpei should win

#

In MQ Junpei would probably win even more

#

Because God's Hand nerfed into being Brave Blade clone

ashen pulsar
#

mid's hand

iron pilot
#

Single target boost might decide it

#

On the other hand, shift boost + amp on Junpei's possible

dreamy orchid
#

no it wouldn't

#

God's Hand nerf is a bigger multiplier than single-target boost is

#

so Aki would be worse

#

Aki only outdamaged because cus his phys skill was better

ashen pulsar
#

๐Ÿค“ ummmmm actually BUFF AMP!!!

dreamy orchid
#

1.69x evasion op

hollow trail
#
  • Jin2's HP lowered to 12000
  • Reduced Nyx (Fool) HP to 750
  • Increased Debilitating Sutra price to 7+7
  • Removed Scarlet Havoc from Nyx Punish condition
  • Made Punish condition more punishing (Diarahan trollage)
ashen pulsar
dreamy orchid
#

diarahan op

iron pilot
#

I think I can test this in 30 mins

ashen pulsar
#

do it now

dreamy orchid
#

bring HAXMAN

#

he can evade ice against Jin and buff amp all over Nyx

ashen pulsar
#

wait

iron pilot
#

Nah I'm soloing

hollow trail
#

are you gonna test the punish

iron pilot
#

Yeah

hollow trail
#

let me know if it glitches and it starts diarahanning every turn

#

LOL

iron pilot
#

It's simple, I don't theurgia in the first 13 phases anyways

#

Sure

#

Saki Mitama will be the goat

hollow trail
#

maybe don't burn time listening to nyx yap

dreamy orchid
#

actually does armageddon then gets one tapped by agi like a boss

iron pilot
#

Hey man, I love the voice acting on that one

hollow trail
#

i know

iron pilot
#

Thank you Akira Ishida

dreamy orchid
#

protag now getting a dialogue option to address her as ryoji is funny

#

i didn't know that was there before watching the doors vid lol

ashen pulsar
#

with uncapped evasion buff amp evade ice haxman has 0.366x hitrate from ice

dreamy orchid
#

yea

#

master quest please uncap evasion so haxman with ali dance becomes invincible

ashen pulsar
#

already did

iron pilot
#

It's uncapped already wdym

dreamy orchid
#

oh is it?

iron pilot
#

Yeah

dreamy orchid
#

get shoes of light for haxman

iron pilot
#

100% evasion haxman real

dreamy orchid
#

he will literally not get hit

#

can you test ali hax doors

iron pilot
#

I could I guess but I'm soloing

ashen pulsar
#

if uncapped evasion rate ali dance stacks with sukukaja haxman would only get hit 30.5% of the time

dreamy orchid
#

well it won't make a difference if akihiko can never get hit

ashen pulsar
dreamy orchid
#

he's just free damage and debilitates

#

and masukukaja's !!

ashen pulsar
#

haxman wins by doing nothing

iron pilot
#

(has high counter so repels phys)

dreamy orchid
#

use all your incenses to get him 99 ag/lu

iron pilot
#

Technically my perfect save has everyone with that

ashen pulsar
#

lu boosts high counter (trust)

hollow trail
#

the fuck does lu even do

ashen pulsar
#

your mother

hollow trail
#

ok

iron pilot
#

Crit rate, ailment rate and shit

hollow trail
#

how does it fucking scale tho

#

i thought crit was just base rate and boosters

ashen pulsar
#

bdjk post the fuckass formula

iron pilot
#

Divide the attacker's Lu with the defender (after adding 50 or something to both)

Multiply by 2 if apt pupil's in there, multiply by 0.5 if sharp student's in there

Multiply with base crit rate

Then the additives, add those

#

Voila

hollow trail
#

setting trismegistus Lu to 1

iron pilot
#

Lmfao

ashen pulsar
#

haxman 200 lu

hollow trail
ashen pulsar
#

buff driver

dreamy orchid
#

give haxman 1.3x higher stats

hollow trail
#

yes that was the joke

#

99*1.3 is 129

iron pilot
#

Due to how the formula works, I have 100% crit rate against anything except death phase nyx or Liz with my Heaven's Blade build

ashen pulsar
#

wow

#

you're so smart...

iron pilot
#

Because anything else doesn't have 99 Lu

hollow trail
#

oh yeah i made nyx all 99

#

LOL

ashen pulsar
#

what does it have normally

hollow trail
#

way less

iron pilot
#

55 or someshit

hollow trail
#

thats all i remember

iron pilot
#

The fortune phase is hilarious

#

has driver in there
Lower hp than the other phases

dreamy orchid
#

does fortune use the wheel

iron pilot
#

Nope

ashen pulsar
hollow trail
#

no

dreamy orchid
#

L

hollow trail
#

wheel crashes game

#

i tried

dreamy orchid
#

that would've been funny

iron pilot
#

That would have been so cool

#

One of the movie's Ws

hollow trail
#

i tried to make it as close to movie as possible

#

but uh

#

yeah

#

game hates me

iron pilot
#

Fuck you fatlus

dreamy orchid
#

make it as close to the movies as possible (force the player to solo)

hollow trail
#

i do wanna solo it by restricting myself in each phase to the matching arcana persona

#

like in movie

iron pilot
#

siegfried to strength

#

Ngl bad move chief

hollow trail
#

i'll just scarlet havoc it

ashen pulsar
#

scarletto havoc

hollow trail
#

it counts!!!!!

iron pilot
#

Nah scarlet havoc's name is Gurenge Slash in Jp iirc

dreamy orchid
#

does protag use the max arcana personas

ashen pulsar
#

oh yeah the movie fucks up the arcana thing too

iron pilot
#

Well she uses Mother Harlot instead of Alilat

hollow trail
#

Maha-Scharlette Havhokk

ashen pulsar
#

it's all except empress or something

iron pilot
#

He*

ashen pulsar
#

femc canon??

hollow trail
iron pilot
#

To be fair, Mother Harlot is badass compared to dumbass pillar

hollow trail
#

some are off screen

#

and also mother harlot yeah

ashen pulsar
#

but alilat has boobs!

hollow trail
#

so does harlot

dreamy orchid
#

pillar is goated if you're a megaten youtuber wanting to beat elizabeth

#

divine pillar meta !!

iron pilot
#

The song I'm using in that fight is the song playing when protag hits death phase

ashen pulsar
#

use krow battle theme

iron pilot
#

Probably one of the best songs P3 has imo

#

It's very fitting, the only L is he's using Thanatos in the movie

dreamy orchid
#

the mixing was a lil quiet in your gameplay

#

nah bro thanatos is goated

#

he has new moon thanatos with phys skill up vorpal blade trust

hollow trail
#

simply skill card it until its good

iron pilot
#

He can't even get Mastery normally

#

Idk how I pulled that off

ashen pulsar
#

bdjk cheated

dreamy orchid
#

didn't you literally get it

#

i won't lie doors i think he can and the guide thing is just wrong

iron pilot
#

Yeah but every logical explanation says I shouldn't have

ashen pulsar
#

sussy

iron pilot
#

Unless my game glitched

ashen pulsar
#

cosmic ray

iron pilot
#

Nah I think he's trustworthy

dreamy orchid
#

get magic mastery arsene unmodded

iron pilot
#

Bro's scared of saying misinfo

ashen pulsar
#

yet posts the graph

#

curious

dreamy orchid
#

wait is the person behind this stuff a buff amp glazer

iron pilot
#

True!

hollow trail
#

oh the fucking game updated

iron pilot
#

bruh

ashen pulsar
#

yeah

iron pilot
#

do I have to download

hollow trail
#

i wouldnt yet

iron pilot
#

tf did they update for, actually

hollow trail
#

it fucks with all files i think

ashen pulsar
#

it removed like 7gb

hollow trail
#

game is only 15 gb now

#

yeah

iron pilot
#

huh???

#

how

hollow trail
#

inb4 mods just dont load anymore

iron pilot
#

alrighty

ashen pulsar
#

surely

hollow trail
#

zipping game to make sure its backed up

iron pilot
#

ok let's rock

iron pilot
#

oh I have Jin/Takaya to get through too

#

I'll record those too

hollow trail
#

yeah hopefully jin is less fucking boring now

iron pilot
#

I'll do everything with a party except Nyx

hollow trail
#

bro is moviemaxxing

#

oh god the upload time

iron pilot
#

Everything is still beatable solo but you're required to have a healer bot this time (very good)

neat reef
#

That's nuts

iron pilot
hollow trail
#

haha

#

i mean it do be scripted

iron pilot
#

2.1K damage fr

#

I armageddon'd him for the meme

#

although King and I would have killed

hollow trail
iron pilot
#

thanks mate

errant pumice
#

Howโ€™s the fatigue system going?

hollow trail
#

impossible to add until decompiler supports popreg opcode decompilation

#

(i need access to scripts that run on loading a new room)

iron pilot
#

holy shit lmfaooo\

#

I love that

#

I killed with Armageddon again

#

I didn't debuff and buff tbf

hollow trail
#

dude literally looks like the LTG meme

#

you should accept salvation NOW

iron pilot
#

well time to solo

hollow trail
#

GL

iron pilot
#

honestly I wanted Junpei to do the kill again

#

using Blaze of Life

hollow trail
#

that was peak

iron pilot
#

The AI works 100%

#

AI works perfectly, let's see if I can win

#

I burned my soma for this one mate

hollow trail
iron pilot
#

Yeah

hollow trail
#

awesome

iron pilot
#

I'm in the process of killing her now

hollow trail
#

gl

iron pilot
#

I forgot to give Arahabaki Enduring Soul so lmfao I could have legitimately died with 1 HP

hollow trail
#

loll

iron pilot
#

40 mins

#

because I let her heal

#

lmfao

#

oh yeah she just continues on the next turn of her pattern, so I think it works perfectly

#

hmmmmm I should have brought a Lucifer with Diarahan for the best results

#

that's the only piece of optimization left for this one imo

hollow trail
#

idk why

#

but i had punish reset to magician

#

(bug)

iron pilot
#

interesting

#

I think that's good though, like

#

I wasted my Theurgia bar, right?

#

I have less breathing room if she doesn't reset

#

I didn't have Diarahan so I was using Cadenza lol

hollow trail
#

Morning Star

miss

"Whoa, I'm safe"

Nyx is laughing audaciously

"fuck"

iron pilot
#

diarahan

#

bruh.

hollow trail
#

ultra trolled

iron pilot
#

this can be a teaser of sorts

#

lmfao

#

well since I didn't edit it

#

it's 1080p

hollow trail
#

tru

iron pilot
#

anyways I'll post again, expect that in 8 hours

hollow trail
iron pilot
#

well it's under an hour I think

#

lmfao

dreamy orchid
iron pilot
#

my perfect save didn't have karns

#

so that was tetrakarn items

hollow trail
#

complete ken L

#

replaced by tanaka's cones

iron pilot
#

bro gives 10 of them each or somethin'

#

0%

hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

Does Nyx diarahan if you use karns btw?

hollow trail
#

no

dreamy orchid
#

or is the diarahan punish only for armageddon

hollow trail
#

wtf

#

why would they

#

armageddon only

dreamy orchid
#

i was asking yuki idk!

#

what does it do to respond to karns/divine intervention

hollow trail
#

nothing, it's intended

dreamy orchid
#

ah okay

hollow trail
#

and no it's not as cheesable as you think

#

in solo it's more of an issue but i have decided i dont care

dreamy orchid
#

i was just curious cus i thought you gave it karn punish

hollow trail
#

no i gave it a karn plan B

#

not a strict punishment

dreamy orchid
#

ah okay

hollow trail
#

it'll still get its shit bashed in with reflects sometimes

#

especially in phases where it has no choice but to

dreamy orchid
#

yea i remember bdjk beating hanged man instantly with sweep reflect

hollow trail
#

yup

#

no way around it

#

and i dont mind

dreamy orchid
#

Ken absolutely goated

hollow trail
#

setup was relatively intricate

iron pilot
#

It's 20K HP, it'll be fineeeeee

hollow trail
#

i mean technically its 10k

dreamy orchid
#

Ken is indisputably #1 in master quest

#

we are so back amadabros

hollow trail
#

just for you

#

im setting ken theurgy rate to 0

ashen pulsar
dreamy orchid
#

Couldn't handle Amada

#

He was too good

#

they'll kill him

#

but we all know deep down that he's the GOAT

iron pilot
#

He's fine, not the goat

dreamy orchid
#

Nah he's the GOAT

#

you are biased

iron pilot
#

11%

iron pilot
#

25%

hollow trail
#

lolllll

iron pilot
#

84%

iron pilot
hollow trail
#

nice

hollow trail
#

so

#

concerning issue

#

highest level shadows are lv 75

ashen pulsar
#

wouldn't changing them be a nonissue now that level scaling doesn't make them absurdly strong?

hollow trail
#

i'd have to individually track them all down

ashen pulsar
#

fair

hollow trail
#

on the flipside

#

at level 92 and i was taking my sweet time killin some of them

iron pilot
#

wdym

#

we can just beat up the reaper to get to the levels I was at in the vid

#

it's possible

dreamy orchid
hollow trail
iron pilot
#

here's big brain idea

#

metatron solo

#

use clock

ashen pulsar
#

cock

hollow trail
#

if you can do reaper at like lv65 and it isn't a 10 hour slog, its ok

iron pilot
#

that or flat out beat the guy, it's decently a challenge but I think they can handle it

hollow trail
#

it might have too much hp

#

i gave it 18k or whatever but that was with the expectation you'd be at a higher level

#

soft cap kinda ruined that

iron pilot
#

16K I think

hollow trail
#

i should probably lower it to 9000 again

iron pilot
#

hmmm

#

nahhhhh

#

we outputting 4K damage on it with setup, so

hollow trail
#

ok you go do it at lv65 without antiques gear then

iron pilot
#

wait, why?

ashen pulsar
#

becuase

hollow trail
#

xp gets fucky near adamah

#

i think

#

im not sure what level you'll be at by the time you reach jin

#

but it wont be 90

#

lol

ashen pulsar
#

hsa anybody looked into exp calc btw?

#

because i looked at the table briefly and the reper was like 204 exp

#

lo

hollow trail
#

yeah

iron pilot
#

I think it was late 70s to early 80s based on the shadows and bosses available

ashen pulsar
#

my guess is it's probably exponented off level but idk for sure

hollow trail
#

the highest level shadow is lv75

#

you can go higher with gatekeepers but only on one party

#

that is a potential soft lock

iron pilot
#

wot

#

it's 79

hollow trail
#

which one

iron pilot
#

tenjin musha, the red shadows after floor 247

hollow trail
#

can you reliably spawn mushas tho lmao

iron pilot
#

gamble

hollow trail
#

"gamble" as funny as it is is not very good design

ashen pulsar
#

isnt there a fortune specificaly for that

iron pilot
#

yeah gamble fortune

#

I love that thing, made grinding for rubies easy

hollow trail
#

Ok but what if you decide to do the whole tower on 1/31

#

what now

#

no gamble no reds

ashen pulsar
#

eat shit lol

hollow trail
#

not a valid answer

ashen pulsar
#

i mean if you don't go until 1/31

#

that is literally on you

hollow trail
#

i can't allow a player to enter a a literally unwinnable scenario

iron pilot
#

tbf I think someone's gonna be metagaming a lot if they decide to do that kind of thing

hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

the game gives you the option to rewind 7 days if you die to a main story boss doesn;t it

ashen pulsar
#

^

hollow trail
#

no

iron pilot
#

they'll beat up the reaper fr

hollow trail
#

it does not

dreamy orchid
#

L

hollow trail
#

reload removed that

dreamy orchid
#

p5 did that

hollow trail
#

because of rollback

dreamy orchid
#

can you rollback an infinite amount of times

hollow trail
#

no

#

and by the time you enter 1/31 there's not enough rollback slots to fix something like that

ashen pulsar
#

why isn't there

#

just back up to 1/29

iron pilot
#

yeah there's 3 days of leeway for rewind

hollow trail
#

i don't think designing the xp curve around "guess that we intended to make you use this specific fortune" is good

ashen pulsar
#

so change the level of the enemies?

hollow trail
#

I'm not touching the 300+ shadows in the game

ashen pulsar
#

just touch like the last block lol

hollow trail
#

I'd rather not before knowing the true viability of killing the reaper in a legit mq run

#

i just might have to play the fucking game

ashen pulsar
#

proud of u king

hollow trail
#

I'm at the point where i can't think of any more changes anyway so it would be the time to do a full test run

iron pilot
#

I did do it at 82 and everyone else is 70s in those vids

hollow trail
#

only thing I'd maybe do is add dlc rework to it, but remove the unique skills (nyx uses them)

iron pilot
#

I think it's reasonable for at least the protag to hit that benchmark

hollow trail
#

mc can definitely hit 70s yes lol

#

through gatekeepers

iron pilot
#

Ken strats will get them by trust

hollow trail
#

i tried ken strats and evil smile/tentafaroo ruins the run

#

breaks all the makarakarns

iron pilot
#

did you lower his SP

hollow trail
#

oh right gotta pre-lower it

#

i can do that + fortune read

iron pilot
#

yeah

hollow trail
#

how fast does it charge in peak condition

iron pilot
#

basically it charges every 2 or 3 turns

hollow trail
#

gg

#

what lv is Abaddon

#

for unshaken will acc

#

or can i do smth else

ashen pulsar
#

wot

iron pilot
#

76

#

but there's armor for that

#

oh wait no antique

#

but that thing's from harabah so idk

hollow trail
#

oh true

ashen pulsar
#

can't you just buy it for 500k anyway

hollow trail
#

that's resist no?

ashen pulsar
#

null all ailments

iron pilot
#

nah they mean amritite necklace

ashen pulsar
#

so better than unshaken

hollow trail
#

2000000ยฅ

iron pilot
#

I was talking about fallen noble's armor

#

oh nah you can only buy one in a playthrough

hollow trail
#

then it's useless

iron pilot
#

not on protag it ain't

hollow trail
#

i need aoe fear/confuse null

iron pilot
#

there's an insta heal thing you get from Liz

#

and there's a null fear boot

#

that you get in arqa or somethin'

#

Aigis exists so no need for one member

hollow trail
#

can also unshaken mc

#

or is that high lv

iron pilot
#

yeah so that's 4 members

#

nope

#

you just need to be level 71

#

because sun card

hollow trail
#

oh true

iron pilot
#

you need max devil and lovers card to get it though iirc

hollow trail
#

xp curve is separate so growth 3 does still give max XP regardless of level

#

you can grind personas even if mc gets 0

iron pilot
#

yeah arahabaki got to 90 in my run lmfao

hollow trail
#

low levelling keepers is a lot more tolerable so i guess the expected floor is anywhere between 72 and 75

iron pilot
#

oh yeah

#

you know how you can skip mfs

#

you don't need to, like, take those into account right

hollow trail
#

i wouldn't really design around a glitch to skip mfs

iron pilot
#

lmfao

#

anyways I'm guessing you're doing the absolute bare minimum and no antique to see if it's possible

hollow trail
#

pretty much, I need to see if it's even possible at all to reach Jin with really mid conditions

#

it's technically a level spike from 75 to 90

#

with nothing in between but the reaper

iron pilot
#

assuming no reaper, yeah

#

well uhhhh

#

there's floors before them that has enemies that are at 70s

#

if anything else, you can edit those guys

#

they're unique to those floors pretty sure

hollow trail
#

if they're unique that's better

#

I need to check if there's anything at all that I should change and then commit to a full playthrough to test

iron pilot
#

yeah they're old Monad fodders

dreamy orchid
#

question

hollow trail
#

cuz every time i make a change it affects whole game

iron pilot
#

I love those guys

hollow trail
#

like the no items rule

dreamy orchid
#

what if somebody just doesn't fight the reaper before nyx

#

are they screwed

hollow trail
#

probably? it's 99

ashen pulsar
hollow trail
#

nyx is supposed to be the peak

dreamy orchid
#

i should replay all of p3n to do low level master quest
