#

well

#

yes

#

but i have to make it from scratch

#

the only item selection menus in the game are uh

ashen pulsar
hollow trail
#

souvenirs for ken

#

vegetables

#

phys cards

#

mag cards

#

heal cards

#

passive cards

#

urls

#

presents

#

no menu for materials

#

i can make my own, but it wouldnt have icons

#

and also no way of checking prior if you have the item

#

just a list of all of them and "uh fuck you you don't have it" if you pick it

iron pilot
#

F

#

Wouldn't the antique menu work?

#

Thinking of it

#

It's may fucking 29

#

When is wave 2 dropping

inland crystal
#

may 32nd

hollow trail
#

no icons, but its a start

iron pilot
#

Tf is dead moon husk anyways

hollow trail
#

ikr

iron pilot
#

Nyx material?

#

How tf did the kirijo group get it if it's from the moon

inland crystal
native garden
iron pilot
#

That doesn't explain getting shit from the moon

hollow trail
#

DMH makes even less sense

#

"dead moon's husk" means it's the husk of a moon that died

#

so, not even our moon

#

and a husk is the entire, hollow thing

#

which would be huge

iron pilot
#

It's Nyx's shit

#

Probably

#

But being serious, I think it's related to Nyx in some way

#

Probably the same type of material the avatar's sword comes from

#

Funnier idea, it's a random hollow meteor

#

Technically that would be considered as a moon

#

Lmfaooo

inland crystal
#

its the astroid that killed the dinosaurs

hollow trail

#

The fox god of crafting

hard vault
hollow trail
hard vault
#

Honestly i vibe with this more than i do skill cards weirdly enough

hollow trail
#

because skill cards invalidate fusion

#

and base models are literally just grind

hard vault
#

Skill cards just seem a bit too free in this game because of instant duplication

hollow trail
#

MQ negates grinding by capping your xp

#

so you'd literally just be grinding empty fights and savescumming

#

this fixes that

#

get at least one and you're good

iron pilot
#

So nothing that to add?

hollow trail
#

wdym hmm

iron pilot
#

Nothing else*

#

Oof

hollow trail
#

idk 😭 like half of MQ is just shit i added while waiting for wave 2 bro

#

they're basically polishing it for me

iron pilot
#

Happy birthday in a few hours on your end

#

Probably the only thing left is asking what to do with weapons and equips

hollow trail
#

yeah i still didn't do Fire Amp lavateinn

#

and i still don't know if i want to dark

iron pilot
#

Passive availability between girls and boys (and Aigis) is a genuine problem though, if you ask me

#

Koro doesn't apply though he's too goated lmao

hollow trail
#

I'm not too bothered by it but i get your point

dreamy orchid
#

Aigis is the only one who actually struggles with it tbh

#

Not being able to stack strike boosters when her final skill is a strike move is funny

iron pilot
#

Nah no shift boosts on girls is a problem

dreamy orchid
#

Its a bit of a shame but not really the end of the world considering most major bosses won't really allow you to use shifts by the time you'd have access to the equips

iron pilot
#

It's an important skill in terms of monad bosses at the end

dreamy orchid
#

Those aren't really too relevant either considering MQ doesn't edit them

#

You could also just shift to someone else tbh

celest kindle
#

I thought Meovv was gonna touch on the Monad Bosses

iron pilot
#

Nah

dreamy orchid
#

I feel like Yukari wouldn't benefit at all from it whereas Mitsuru's usefulness is mostly in utility and not raw damage especially for theurgia

hollow trail
#

if i felt it necessary

#

(it kinda isnt)

#

everything else done to the game already makes them harder

#

otherwise i'd have to code like 30 or 40 new ais

iron pilot
#

HP edits to some harabah mfs probably needed

#

Those guys are too weak

#

That one dice mf is a decent example

hollow trail
#

harabah is easy because the game stalls and you overlevel doing rescues though

#

i dont mind looking at a list of gatekeeper mfs and increasing stats a bit

#

but THAT level of change does need a ton of testing

#

cant just have faith in the system

#

need to play all of them in legit save

#

they are the xp source

iron pilot
#

Yeah that's true

hollow trail
#

and i do think gatekeepers in general were made harder by virtue of the rest of the changes

#

this being my fav example

#

it was a fun fight imo

iron pilot
#

Gambling with 17% crit rate Siegfried when they reach Harabah fr

hollow trail
#

17 is fair though compared to uh

#

whatever the fuck vanilla game does

dreamy orchid
#

you'd get higher than 17% lol

hollow trail
#

if you do i think it's earned

#

only reason i didnt nerf rebellion/revolution/critboost/critamp is because i don't want to make junpei objectively shit

#

you can make the rates high

#

but with setup

#

not free

dreamy orchid
#

1% Scarlet Havoc -> 2% with Apt Pupil -> 9% with Auto-Rebellion -> 24% with Crit Rate Amp -> 39% with Revolution

So you can def make it consistent but phys mfs will need to run Koromaru if they want to nuke with Theurgia. Normal phys skills will be relatively consistent either way though due to them not having completely dogshit crit rates even if they were nerfed

iron pilot
#

Iirc in Vanilla it can go up to 55% no rebellion/revolution

hollow trail
#

a WHOLE double

dreamy orchid
#

I mean, hey, 1% can matter

hollow trail
#

yea

dreamy orchid
#

definitely worth a skill slot (it isn't)

hollow trail
#

it is for non trg skills

iron pilot
#

If the luck is dogshit enough, apt pupil wouldn't even add anything

dreamy orchid
#

well its worth it for normal skills but if you're making a scarlet havoc bot then just ignore it

native garden
# hollow trail

So skill card duping got replaced with base material duping???

hollow trail
#

yes

native garden
#

Ohh ok. I am surprised you were able to do that without the game softlocking itself

hollow trail
#

it wasn't too hard

#

just a little puzzle

#

there's only 2 issues with it and they're both pretty small

#
  • it will always show you every material that exists in the game as an option so it technically spoils you, but that's not exactly a bad thing (you can know ahead of time that better materials will exist)
  • it doesn't have icons in the selection menu but that's cosmetic
#

and ig it doesn't tell you how many of a material you have

#

but when you dupe something as rare as materials i think you already have the intent/choice made of what you wanted

hollow trail
#

i dont think i missed anything

iron pilot
#

Wdym by that "fixed a bug that allows skipping Elizabeth phases"

#

That's a bit misleading I think, you can still skip phase 2 with proper aligning

I think it's better to say "removed the ability to skip Elizabeth's 3rd phase"

hollow trail
native garden
#

Rest in Peace SP healing items and Bead Chain EX

hollow trail
#

will not be missed!!!

iron pilot
#

Gonna bet wave 2 is not dropping tom

iron pilot
#

Well we did prove it's more than possible to beat up the bosses without using your cookie

hollow trail
#

Really wanting that popreg opcode....

#

Reload tiredness......

#

pls....

iron pilot
#

Issue of skill.

hollow trail
#

It wouldn't be that bad

#

I'd buff social stats lol

#

probably

iron pilot
#

Nah I think you can get away without even doing that

native garden
#

I’m not a fan of the probably part

iron pilot
#

Social stats wise we don't even need shit like the academics boost from the helmet request anymore

#

It's very lenient

hollow trail
#

main reason I want tiredness is to nerf arcana burst and to drag you out of Tartarus, which also means making gear becomes more common

#

as for what tiredness would do, I think I'd make it disable Theurgia gauge gain when tired (idk if I can do it tho?), and also making party members leave on return

native garden
ashen pulsar
#

make it delete all saves except slot no. 1

native garden
iron pilot
#

Protag solo using Mithras in that one specific yabasshah fight

ashen pulsar
#

what

hollow trail
#

through flow anyway

ashen pulsar
#

i believe in you king

iron pilot
#

Lmao Wave 2 dropped

celest kindle
#

In Japan

iron pilot
#

Funniest birthday gift ever

celest kindle
#

Are you Japanese Doors

iron pilot
#

No, but it means it should drop for us tomorrow

iron pilot
#

By the way can I set those MQ testing vids public when it drops

celest kindle
#

If Meovv lets you, you should make a playlist

iron pilot
#

Technically I can only post two

#

Since they reflect the actual state of the mod

celest kindle
#

I mean you could change the titles to include the versions you were using

#

Or just clarifying it's pre-release footage

hollow trail
iron pilot
#

It'll just be the 1/31 ones

hollow trail
#

trolled

#

(this is just test)

ashen pulsar
#

chastity cage

hollow trail
#

aw rip negative numbers arent allowed

ashen pulsar
#

doomed

hollow trail
#

i wanted to make something that would give a crazy boost but fuck over your endurance

#

or something

#

stuff like that

iron pilot
#

PQ type beat

ashen pulsar
#

+auto sukukaja
-auto tarunda

hollow trail
#

omg lol

#

WHERES THE MAGIC MASTERY ID

#

this is so funny omg

ashen pulsar
#

why is that even a preset they have

hollow trail
#

its not

#

it's manual stat assignment + a passive

ashen pulsar
#

ah

hollow trail
#

I dont want to bruteforce every ID come on man

ashen pulsar
#

dew it

hollow trail
#

i think its op

iron pilot
#

Nah that's shit, get the 5 hp one

#

Also are the skill ids different from the ones in the wiki

hollow trail
#

yes thats why this is so annoying

#

xd

hollow trail
#

its fucking BMD

#

LOL

#

bad news gang

#

@dreamy orchid this is relevant to you

dreamy orchid
#

wait whats happened

hollow trail
#

thats all the accessory passives in the game

#

none other exist

dreamy orchid
#

ah yeah

hollow trail
#

there's an ID/text for reducing stats, but the table doesn't actually allow it

dreamy orchid
#

i was testing out some of them so i had a vague idea but a full list is good

hollow trail
#

so cant do that either

dreamy orchid
#

this is why sh2 is better

hollow trail
#

yup

#

i wonder if putting "ignore enemy resistances" on an accessory makes it apply to everything

dreamy orchid
#

lmfao

#

might as well try

hollow trail
#

it does not.

#

it makes the weapon pierce it tho

#

ass

ashen pulsar
#

Isn't that already implemented

hollow trail
#

wdym

#

no

#

"ignore enemy resistances" is a weapon buff

#

not an accessory buff

#

which is what i was testing

ashen pulsar
#

ah

hollow trail
#

putting it in an accessory just applies it to all weapons

ashen pulsar
#

op?

hollow trail
#

idk seems kinda ass to me

#

mc has every element

ashen pulsar
#

true .

hollow trail
#

on akihiko sure

#

maybe

ashen pulsar
#

what does damage up as opposed to boost do

hollow trail
#

idk values

#

i believe they stac

#

tho?

#

unless it only applies to weapon too

#

doubt

ashen pulsar
#

test it king

hollow trail
#

troll šŸ‘

ashen pulsar
#

anubpotent orb

hollow trail
#

i can confirm it is uh

#

not THAT good

#

guys i think strega won

#

@iron pilot what was the argument for Fire Amp Laevateinn again? And which Strike Amp gear did you want on Aigis?

#

ig i'm able to do it now to all equipment

#

as long as the effect exists

ashen pulsar
#

he wanted to be able to run both amps so junpei isn't forced into one or the other

hollow trail
#

oh its impossible otherwise?

dreamy orchid
#

yeah

#

he only gets boost weapon for both his things

#

so he can only get amps from accessory

hollow trail
#

it feels like a downgrade though

#

balance wise i mean

#

there's a sidegrade choice being removed

ashen pulsar
#

his argument was that since you still didn't stack boost+amp it already is a sidegrade

hollow trail
#

fair but it's still a flat increase in junpei's power

#

regardless of pick

dreamy orchid
#

is that necessarily a bad thing?

hollow trail
#

Slash Amp + Fire Boost seems infinitely more balanced considering the power of blaze of life

dreamy orchid
#

I think Magic Junpei being more immediately viable is funny

hollow trail
#

funny yes sure

#

im just not sold on it?

dreamy orchid
#

I don't really think just fire boost alone would be worth more than slash boost + slash amp together

#

the higher average damage would just be much better along with boost + amp hack n blast probably being more worth it even with the nerfs. right now i feel like you'd really just wanna go all in on one or the other

hollow trail
#

I feel like that's good because of SL requirements

#

Missed Surt, can still go Slash

#

idk

#

it's weird to give Junpei, an already op party member, a damage booster

#

in a challenge mode mod

dreamy orchid
#

But you nerfed him in several ways already lol

ashen pulsar
#

well it might also be worth considering that the protagonist will basically always have all boosts too so closing the gap isn't as much of an issue especially if it's equipment only that isn't always viable

hollow trail
#

Hm

#

Feels weird closing the gap on just him tbh KEKW

#

But I'm down to try

ashen pulsar
#

And if you miss surt you still have amp accessory, just not boost weapon

hollow trail
#

let me peek antique store

ashen pulsar
hollow trail
#

im limited by the existing effects

#

i can try tho

#

i'd love for kurosawa weapons to not be ass either

#

well

#

they're decent in MQ for priestess

#

gives me the edge needed to win

#

(comfortably)

#

last minute tweaks before dlc XD

#

ngl if it had released on may 1st it would've been ass

native garden
hollow trail
#

ultimate aki gloves +Auto Heat-Riser

#

thats some shit

ashen pulsar
#

it's op

#

trust.

hollow trail
#

what if i gave sabazios ice boost

#

this is jok

dreamy orchid
#

seems self-evident but they'd still suck naotroll

#

they have high freeze tho so really ice boost is a nerf

hollow trail
#

yh

ashen pulsar
#

fureeze

hollow trail
#

a lot of these weapons seem cool but ultimately purposeless

#

they just do what another teammate can do as base, but worse

dreamy orchid
#

its kind of impossible to make them good while the attack stats are halved

#

unless you just give them funny op passives

#

but there's only so many of them

hollow trail
#

i've definitely decided i'm not doubling them though because it doesn't really make sense for weapons (that cost nothing to use) deal matching damage to other skills

dreamy orchid
#

give ken shift boost spear or some shit it'd be funny

dreamy orchid
#

and the phys ones always have less crit than phys skills

hollow trail
#

what setup hmm

#

and again

#

it's free

dreamy orchid
#

yes but they're actively worse anyways

#

i don't get why they should be useless in general, but like again there is no real good solution to this until blueprint editing is possible

ashen pulsar
hollow trail
#

aha

#

that

#

yeah

#

good point

dreamy orchid
#

give every enemy hidden resistance to all out attack naotroll

dreamy orchid
#

biggest bandaid oat

hollow trail
#

remind me again what was the point of magic ability on mitsuru

#

i know there's a stack somewhere

#

but boost+amp?

dreamy orchid
#

ice boost + ice amp + ability

hollow trail
#

she can have all 3?

ashen pulsar
#

she has boost innate

dreamy orchid
#

ice boost innate, ice amp accessory, magic ability weapon

hollow trail
#

ahhhh

#

ok yeah thats good

dreamy orchid
#

you get ice amp accessory before getting the ice amp weapon and the weapon removes her ability to do slash shit if you got rid of neuro slash so imo that thing is pretty dogshit

hollow trail
#

arms master for aigis ultimate is so funny bro

dreamy orchid
#

arms master in p3n

#

phys skills cap at like 20% cost for the good ones in this game

#

only god's hand gets to 25% lol

hollow trail
#

xd

dreamy orchid
#

but yeah idk

#

if you were gonna change weapons

hollow trail
#

what if i gave Metatronius Pierce Amp

dreamy orchid
#

i think aigis should have a strike boost option

hollow trail
#

wasnt bdjk asking for that

dreamy orchid
#

nah thats redundant

hollow trail
#

oh right

#

strike

ashen pulsar
#

strike amp

hollow trail
#

not pierce

#

yeah

ashen pulsar
#

/boost

#

just so she can use both

dreamy orchid
#

no better idea

ashen pulsar
#

since there's currently no way for her to get both strike boost+amp

dreamy orchid
#

make the stupid rocket punch weapon that liz gives you strike boost

#

and make it strike affinity

ashen pulsar
#

op

#

+strike damage up / +strike boost naotroll

hollow trail
#

oh fuck yeah i need to do the thing where weapon affinity is based on the weapon's model

hollow trail
#

2 effects on same gear

dreamy orchid
#

spiked bat op

hollow trail
#

who had that one

dreamy orchid
#

there is a +strike damage up one?

hollow trail
#

junshit?

dreamy orchid
#

Junpeak has it yeah

ashen pulsar
#

did you test what damage up actually did tho

dreamy orchid
#

make Mitsuru Longinus pierce

#

for epic p2 reference

hollow trail
#

where's longinus

#

omg this game has too many weapons mf

dreamy orchid
#

you get it in harabah

dreamy orchid
ashen pulsar
dreamy orchid
#

add a magic ability accessory (literally only useful for Ken and no other character)

ashen pulsar
#

haxman...

dreamy orchid
#

OH TRUE

#

magic ability haxman sounds hilarious actually

#

would mean no strike boost too fire

hollow trail
#

aigis grenade launchers were strike in fes no?

ashen pulsar
#

no

hollow trail
#

MC:

  • Steel Pipe - Strike

Junpei:

  • Spiked Bat - Strike

Mitsuru:

  • Longinus - Pierce

Koromaru:

  • Bone - Strike

Ken:

  • Scrub Brush - Strike
#

i cant think of any other weapons lmao

ashen pulsar
#

toy bow could be strike if you really wanted it to

hollow trail
#

oh yeah

#

forgot toy bow

dreamy orchid
#

Shinjiro Axe as slash naotroll

hollow trail
#

is there anything for mc that could pierce

hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

spiked bat is slash in fes

#

checkmate atheist

hollow trail
#

yes but spiked bat is one weapon

#

axe is a whole type

ashen pulsar
#

they never changed archetype besides elementals

dreamy orchid
#

you could change specifically sees axe

#

most of shinji's weapons are hammers tbh

hollow trail
#

nah i'm not changing the default wep

#

anyway anything for mc that can be pierce?

dreamy orchid
#

lemme check

ashen pulsar
#

maybe sabers

#

then again most of his weapons are so short anyway

dreamy orchid
#

Magic Bow
It doesn't actually use magic

#

absolutely scammed

hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

i don't think you can do almighty weapons

hollow trail
#

you can

dreamy orchid
#

i tried to make one and it makes the atk stat disappear

hollow trail
#

oh

#

aight

dreamy orchid
#

try it in game

#

maybe i did it wrong lol

hollow trail
#

nah i trust you

#

which id did you use

#

(it's 7)

dreamy orchid
#

i think i tested 7 along with 9 and 10

#

cus i was just trying to play about with it and see what i could do

#

there are some akihiko fists you could argue could be like slash too

#

like bladed fists

#

but imo who care

hollow trail
#

i'll change the obvious ones as novelty

dreamy orchid
#

could also argue that Gae Bolg should be wind but like it wouldn't have a purpose as that given that weapons do zero damage now

ashen pulsar
#

aoa naotroll

dreamy orchid
#

wait lmao

#

only two of Shinji's weapons are actually axes

hollow trail
#

oh

#

i can change that then

dreamy orchid
#

well its effect is +light boost

#

so it'd be a bit weird for it to give you wind attacks while boosting light skills

hollow trail
#

real

hollow trail
#

evade strats OP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#

honestly

dreamy orchid
#

is that sabazios new effect lol

ashen pulsar
#

ICE BOOSTA

hollow trail
#

evil glov

#

there's unironically not much else you can give him

dreamy orchid
#

the auto-heat riser thing kind of sucks but i don't really like removing it tbh. it does technically help with buff amp and also it feels like some nice continuity between him and Shinjiro, with him literally getting his trait

hollow trail
#

the weak-seeking AIs love targetting him first, so evade strat is actually a pretty good niche

dreamy orchid
#

you could also just give evil gloves give him +all stats like it did in the original to make it good lol

hollow trail
#

i think this weapon with suku and ali dance will disable most enemies onemore strats

ashen pulsar
#

sukugaja

dreamy orchid
#

haxuman 1000000% evasion

hollow trail
#

no like

#

that but actually real

ashen pulsar
#

:maireFlushed":

dreamy orchid
#

do we know how much magic evasion (high) is

hollow trail
#

we don't, but he's already good without it

ashen pulsar
#

isnt it 10/20/30

hollow trail
#

30 it is

ashen pulsar
#

kiss

dreamy orchid
#

how does it work in p3n tho

ashen pulsar
#

30% chance toget laid

iron pilot
#

You mean to not get laid right

ashen pulsar
#

true.,...

iron pilot
#

Anyways surt swordi fire amp is a way to

Make magic Junpei appealing at a first glance
Make him a weaker version of Akihiko Phys/Mag duality as an option

#

Also if you want Magic Ability equip I'd probably do it on Chihiro's equipment and make it protag only somehow

#

Thinking of it

#

Wouldn't an invig bow work on Yukari

ashen pulsar
#

that should be easy to implement

#

the protag only thing

#

but why would you run invigorate

#

lmfao she doesn't use sp

iron pilot
#

To trap casuals into thinking low SP bad

#

Lmaoooo

ashen pulsar
#

oh noooo im gonna run out of sp

#

ahhhh

iron pilot
#

But it certainly is an appealing option for some, mainly in explorations

#

Just invig 2

ashen pulsar
#

to stack with accessory?

#

bcuz they aren't seperate effects like p4g

dreamy orchid
#

girls get invig 3 on boots already

ashen pulsar
#

slayyyy

dreamy orchid
#

and you have accessories

#

invig bow is dumb

#

high iq is ken magic ability spear 😈

#

i wish there were more funny options

ashen pulsar
#

check damage up!!

iron pilot
#

Invig boots is Harabah that's late

#

I was thinking Yabasshah tier

#

If it's really a problem invig 1 isn't that bad actually

#

Rocket punch strike boost gloves is good for Aigis tho

hollow trail
#

I did

Omnipotent Orb
+99 En / Invig 3 / Regen 3
(I don't expect it to be used)

Many Liz weapons are Strike now

Longinus is Pierce

Rocket Punch is Strike and has Strike Boost

Laevateinn has Fire Amp

Evil Gloves is +7 Ag +7 Lu +Magic Evade High

#

Shinji axes are slash

#

and i think that's mostly it

iron pilot
#

Wdym liz weapon

ashen pulsar
#

the bat

hollow trail
#

Bone, Steel Pipe, Bat

iron pilot
#

Oh thos

hollow trail
#

they are strike

#

toy bow

iron pilot
#

I thought you meant the funny book and cards

hollow trail
#

everyone gets a strike wep now actually now that i think about it

#

except mitsuru

#

she gets piercing

ashen pulsar
#

penetration midsuru? 🄓

iron pilot
#

What did she mean by that

#

Also inb4 people complain about no early game apt pupil Junpei

ashen pulsar
#

whjat

hollow trail
#

Wdym

iron pilot
#

Average bainz viewer think Junpei's mid early-midgame because he doesn't have apt pupil

hollow trail
#

wow a whole 1%

ashen pulsar
#

i don't think it's catering to youtube onlies lol

iron pilot
#

Yeah but point is, they'll get skill issue'd

ashen pulsar
#

what

#

bro you're talking about like the kind of people who don't even know boosts stack

#

that kind of brainpower

iron pilot
#

Clearly your authority is based on the number of subs you have

ashen pulsar
#

submissives

iron pilot
#

Anyways these changes are good

#

(make the orb not null all)

#

NG+ mfs can abuse

dreamy orchid
#

rip omnipotent orb

hollow trail
#

also not just ng+

#

can beat liz and cheese nyx

iron pilot
#

What did you change it to

hollow trail
#

it's okay but really mid compared to just about everything else

#

and to me that's fine

iron pilot
#

En 99???

#

Lmao

hollow trail
#

yes

#

it caps

iron pilot
#

Probably good on Yukari

#

Lmaoooo

hollow trail
#

Oh yeah could give it to her

#

or ken

#

but invig 3

iron pilot
#

Make it protag only

#

For meme

hollow trail
#

nah

ashen pulsar
hollow trail
#

I'm doing Omnipotent on Ken and Firm Stance on MC when i play i think

ashen pulsar
#

why firm stance

hollow trail
#

because halving damage is very good on nyx

iron pilot
#

Bricked up

ashen pulsar
#

but ari dansu is on shoe

hollow trail
#

100% safe vs gamble

#

I'll put ali dance on aki

ashen pulsar
#

you removed the evade cap tho

hollow trail
#

yeah, doesn't mean it'll naturally fall to 0

dreamy orchid
#

yeah but statistically ali dance would always be better with evasion cap gone

#

especially if you have endures available as a safety net

ashen pulsar
#

and doesn't take up an accessory or skill slot

dreamy orchid
#

i feel like you'd want a persona with firm stance for tanking option but ali dance on shoes

iron pilot
#

That's what I do!!!

ashen pulsar
#

:bdjk:

iron pilot
#

Only when doing a Liz restriction run though

dreamy orchid
#

firm stance pretty horrible compared to ali dance if there is no evasion cap though

#

it also makes sukukaja worthless for protag which is a nerf to haxman and peakomaru

ashen pulsar
#

errrm... hit rate up...?

hollow trail
#

worthless? it's stacking, what

ashen pulsar
#

onion chan meant that sukukaja is worthless with firm stance because evasion doesn't matter

hollow trail
#

ah that

#

no shit

#

that's why my aki doesn't have suku

ashen pulsar
#

DONT KILL THE MESSENGER

hollow trail
ashen pulsar
#

hahahaha

#

love that guy

dreamy orchid
hollow trail
#

but i get you

dreamy orchid
#

firm stance just seems kind of silly unless you are using it to intentionally get downed on some bdjk strat

hollow trail
#

my plan is to fuck around and experiment with all passives anyway

dreamy orchid
#

do a bare essentials run

ashen pulsar
#

perusona essentials

dreamy orchid
#

unoptimised persona builds, no ali dance, firm stance or endures

hollow trail
#

if you play like that uninstall mq

dreamy orchid
#

well it'd be fun to test the waters to see whats possible

hollow trail
#

well I know quite a bit is

ashen pulsar
#

play with 0 boosters

hollow trail
#

evasion cap 0% is really funny man

hollow trail
#

has anyone actually managed to make the hitrate 0%

dreamy orchid
#

vanilla-accurate phys build (no boosters, just apt pupil and arms master)

hollow trail
#

that's problematic if yes

ashen pulsar
#

0% idt is possible because of the calculation

#

unless 1 ag vs 99 ag does it

dreamy orchid
#

even if it were possible, it wouldn't happen against an enemy with 99ag like nyx

hollow trail
#

What i want to see is an enemy with 100% evade

#

(there are none)

ashen pulsar
#

make fat hands 100% evade

dreamy orchid
#

give nyx ali dance

hollow trail
#

when I was testing the hands were unironically like 5% hitrate

ashen pulsar
#

fat hands with ali dance, auto sukukaja, auto masukunda

dreamy orchid
#

do the fat fucks have ali dance too

native garden
#

Give Nyx Hassou Tobi

hollow trail
#

no

#

they just have 99 ag

dreamy orchid
hollow trail
#

(vanilla)

ashen pulsar
#

really?

#

it's hardly noticeable

hollow trail
#

hands have 99 ag and 99 lu in p3r yes

dreamy orchid
#

well keep in mind bestie

#

evasion cap + party has auto-masukukaja and auto-masukunda

ashen pulsar
#

auto sukunda op?

hollow trail
#

I was literally unable to defeat thebel hands without giving Junpei sukukaja

ashen pulsar
#

huh?

hollow trail
#

(in mq)

ashen pulsar
#

ah

hollow trail
#

ye cuz vanilla would just cap rate to 50

dreamy orchid
#

maybe p4 has no evasion cap considering how often the gold hands dodge there

#

lmaooo

ashen pulsar
#

zrego says it doesn't but he's not exactly reliable

hollow trail
#

doesn't p5r also have a pathetically low cap

i see videos of people nohitting lavenza with 100% evade rate

ashen pulsar
#

pretyty sure p5r is capped to 50

iron pilot
#

Same

hollow trail
#

really? wow

#

just luck then

ashen pulsar
#

i think they just reloaded ( nanjoguin_mad ) saves

iron pilot

I wanna see someone run evade build on a full party

literally just 4 misses every time

Can I beat Persona 3 Reload Master Quest without taking damage?

iron pilot

Optimized theurgia run nowadays do need 4 dodges sometimes

lovers moment

iron pilot
#

You can't Armageddon Nyx even if you somehow managed to beat Lovers ND

hollow trail
#

oh yeah lovers is gonna trol

#

did someone play emperor and empress

#

i feel like that one's a bit funny

dreamy orchid
#

can you beat persona 3 reload master quest with only ken amada

iron pilot
#

I don't have a save there soz

hollow trail

too late for regrets now!!! it's may 31st!!!

lmaooo

iron pilot
#

Just dodge?

hollow trail
#

no null elec accessories?

#

is that after

dreamy orchid
#

nah you could do it but it'd take ages

iron pilot
#

There is but it's Thor locked and a material in Harabah

dreamy orchid
#

you'd also need to cast wind break every 3 turns

ashen pulsar
#

0 damage

hollow trail
#

just spam dia and trg

iron pilot
#

You could also just use theurgia to attack

dreamy orchid
#

and yukari's damage then is awful cus she has no boost stacking and no garudyne yet

celest kindle
#

Doesn't Yukari get Sakukaja

#

Just use that

dreamy orchid
#

theurgia rate is nerfed during bosses naotroll

celest kindle
#

Think fellas

hollow trail
#

sakukaja

celest kindle
#

Yes

dreamy orchid
#

or well, her one is for healing

celest kindle
#

Peakari Takeba wins every time

ashen pulsar
#

samukaja for dodging only magic when

hollow trail
#

F tier

iron pilot
#

Makakaja

hollow trail
#

yukari is literally only buffed by virtue of items being banned now lol

ashen pulsar
#

actually

dreamy orchid
#

Yukari is only in E- tier and not F because party wide concentrate will be more useful now

iron pilot
#

That and Magic being very reliable now

ashen pulsar
#

she's superbuffed by having useable modded skins

#

ken doesn't have good ones.

dreamy orchid
hollow trail

ok gooner

What did bro mean by that

ashen pulsar

meow meow you can't deny

jmedia7 is the king

Yeah you can win with phys only party

hollow trail

phys is very nerfed but it is still viable

hollow trail
ashen pulsar
#

omg funnt dog

dreamy orchid
#

can you beat persona 3 reload with an absolutely abysmal dogshit team comp

#

what is the team comp that has the least possible synergy with each other

ashen pulsar
#

yukari, midsuru, x

dreamy orchid
#

nah cus yukari synergises with mitsuru even if mitsuru is kind of yucky

hollow trail
#

can you beat persona 3 reload with naoto

iron pilot
#

Phys Junpei, Akihiko without strike boosts Aigis but with only Primal Force

ashen pulsar
dreamy orchid
#

no because naoto is so dogshit that she ain't even in the game

meow meow, is haxman butter than naoto?

it is working

Skill issue

update didnt even kill music mods

incredible

iron pilot

Let's goooooo

How about the dupes or the edits

hollow trail
#

the wot

iron pilot
#

Material dupes

#

And the uh

#

Item edits

#

Wouldn't those be affected most likely

hollow trail
#

they arent

#

actually the outfits are broken

#

i think the extended outfit framework replaces them

native garden
#

RIP costume framework

hollow trail
#

other way around

#

mod is killing dlc

native garden
#

Oh…

#

it’s their loss for buying the costume DLC

iron pilot

balmy thistle

Well the costume dlcs suck anyways (except Yaso and Phan Thieves fits)

native garden
hollow trail

not for now

#

I want to see if obscuring info delays meta hunting a bit

let people have theories about what's good

part of the fun

iron pilot

Speaking of which, you still have that fork of the fusion calc right

#

I dunno where it us

dreamy orchid
#

ah fair

hollow trail
#

i do yeah

#

Idk if it's 100% accurate but it's an html file

#

i can post rq

#

i think I didn't update it for the very last few changes

iron pilot
#

Technically all the knowledge I have of the bases are just

#

The dynes are p3 numbers

#

Junpei theurgia uses Electric Onslaught base

#

Severe single hit Phys are all 600

ashen pulsar
#

500

iron pilot
#

Are they?

native garden
#

And someone already beaten the final boss in master quest || https://youtu.be/i833DixKR4c?si=BOyQI7iku8HS23Ba|| that was fast

I quite like this mod, it made the fight much more engaging to solo. Among other things, it made Nyx hit harder, hit more, have more variety on what she does. Very much an improvement compared to the Vanilla version.

Now incorporating the multiple tweaks added that affects the gameplay quite a bit. Things such as disabling of healing items for ...

painfrost I don’t. I’m still waiting for Star Citizen to come out

iron pilot

Bro you literally could have just played MQ here

native garden
#

I was busy working on my personal BGM modpack csd2depressed

#

I’m thinking of replacing the final boss theme with the one from Like a Dragon 7

iron pilot

It's must be OG Music if it took that long

inland crystal
#

somehow makoto dodged twice in a row during awakening fight, gonna do damageless mq now!!!

celest kindle
#

Just noticed sumn

#

This is release MQ

#

Yukari's arrows are doing strike damage

iron pilot
#

That's intended, yes

#

The argument being they shoot suction cup arrows instead of actual arrows

celest kindle
#

oh it's toy bow exclusive?

#

ok ok i understand

iron pilot
#

No

#

Some other weapons got this treatment

#

Junpei's bat, as an another example

#

You can bonk people with the steel pipe now

hollow trail
#

anyway read toy bow description

celest kindle
#

i'm just continuing from my save

hollow trail
#

ah

celest kindle
#

i don't think there's been any skill changes for my party so far so i oughta be safe right?

hollow trail
#

if you had the final pre-release you're good

#

well

#

skill card dupes was removed

#

but that's the only thing that affects you in your current progress

iron pilot
#

Jack Frost with Agi

celest kindle
#

I haven't used card dupes rn so like

hollow trail
#

jagi

celest kindle
#

Speaking of i just died

#

Enemies focusing on knocking you down before anything else is tuff

#

esp when i got dark weakness

hollow trail
#

uhhhhh

iron pilot
#

Just don't have dark weakness

#

Ez

celest kindle
#

true!

hollow trail
#

no one in tartarus does that

#

well

#

not because of mq

celest kindle
#

I mean, it seems like the enemies that have laterns in them always go for protag first

#

then they go to somebody else

iron pilot
#

The regular enemies are mostly untouched except the 1/31 exclusives

hollow trail
#

thats probably a lantern thing

celest kindle
#

Damn

iron pilot
#

Yeah those guys are pretty tough at those levels with Mudo

#

Lmao

celest kindle
#

Sometimes they also just hit me twice with eiha

#

though that's rarer

celest kindle
#

and that's in separate playthroughs

#

Idk maybe i have high lu

iron pilot
#

Technically never hit me

#

At that point I'm running a Rakshasa already

celest kindle
#

i kinda fucked up by fusing away my one garu persona for Omoikane

#

oh well at least i have sharp student and one other skill

iron pilot
#

Sounds like you have outdated mfs

#

You should have access to level 12 mfs at the very lesst

celest kindle
#

I just haven't fused that much

#

I'm tryna get all skills for the ones i have right now

#

So i can forget abt them when i fuse them away later

errant pumice
celest kindle
atomic swallowBOT
celest kindle
#

can't even win when i'm having a w

#

This also tends to happen whenever i run into a group of only Phantom Mages

#

Yk what imma just go to the lower floors for a bit before going there

native garden
celest kindle
#

That's about

#

The toy bow specifically

celest kindle
#

But then i accidentally gave a Muscle Drink to Junpei instead of Knocked Down MC and the Phantom Mage went for me again

#

Sucks my one Kouha Persona has Dark Weakness

left spear
#

when i read that changelog i thought it was smth to do with the magic elem weapons, didnt remember if they were in reload or not

#

but this is actually so cool

celest kindle
#

They are but i think Meovv didn't do anything to them

celest kindle
#

I have come to the conclusion that I'm stupid

#

I forgot Guard exists

iron pilot
#

oh yeah have this for reference lol

iron pilot
#

Oh yeah I tried doing that thingy you tried involving lining up Mitsuru/Junpei/Akihiko and yeah

#

It still works

#

Mitsuru's damage output is by far the worst among the mages but it gets the job done decently

iron pilot
#

this is no debilitate

#

with debilitate on death, so pretty decent

inland crystal
#

i dont think the 0xp if 4+ levels over shadows is working

#

still getting exp from level 2/3 shadows at levell 9

hollow trail
#

Personas get full xp regardless

#

it's working for me so make sure you double check

#

check "xp until next" and see if it goes down after a low level fight

inland crystal
#

i was expecting it to show up as 0 on the results screen lol

hollow trail
#

yeah persona xp has no scalers, so there's no way to mod it

hollow trail
#

the xp you see in results is the base that's split among everyone else

#

and then it's divided

#

then the shares are multiplied based on level

#

so 1000 xp

#

everyone gets 250 cuz /4

#

then that 250 is multiplied based on lv

#

so 250*0=0

inland crystal
#

gotcha

iron pilot
#

Kenneth.mp4

rapid epoch
#

guess i gotta replay now

#

whos the ideal master quest party comp

iron pilot
#

Good question

#

The answer is depends on who tf you fighting

rapid epoch
#

well that wont really matter until i unlock midsuru anyways so

#

im gonna have only 3 party members for a while + makoto

iron pilot
#

Akihiko won't be good until he got that Auto-Tarukaja

#

More or less

#

Then it just dogpiles from there

#

Single target boost and stuff should prove handy

#

His theurgia still sucks ass and can't crit though so Junpei is arguably preferable, still

#

That should change post oct 4

rapid epoch
#

will this work on a fresh ng+ cause i was planning on doing ng+ for my replay

#

or should i just do a new save

iron pilot
#

Yes although you keeping compendium makes early to mid game not feel that different apart from Akihiko not sucking ass

#

But if you pick Merciless ng+ then it's basically the same as a new save

rapid epoch
#

since i suck i played p3r on safety lets see what happens when i jump to merciless

iron pilot
#

Smells like a case study

#

Yeah uh, just ask here if you get stuck

#

Technically no one has ever done a full MQ run so atm we dunno if it's "beatable" in a single run lol

rapid epoch
#

i suck at persona games may not do merciless after all

celest kindle
#

Idk i think getting into it is not that hard

iron pilot
#

It could be a learning experience

celest kindle
#

If you can remember the base mechanics

#

I forgot Guarding and MQ reminded me

hollow trail
#

merciless mq is definitely very stressful if you struggle with the normal vanilla game

dreamy orchid
#

if you know what buffs and debuffs are and how to hit weaknesses/crits you should be alright

hollow trail
#

NG+ would break it in half though

dreamy orchid
#

you'll get your ass kicked a bit but you gotta learn

hollow trail
#

I'm doing NG+ but Merciless (so everything is reset)

iron pilot
#

I'm a good persona player

#

I'm a good persona player

dreamy orchid
#

I am a surgeon

rapid epoch
#

i think i will start on hard

hollow trail
#

I'd start on Merciless regardless, because you can lower but you can't increase

#

Normal is probably very fair

rapid epoch
#

i'll try it

#

wait does merciless reset social stats

celest kindle
#

I wonder how MQ Normal feels like

rapid epoch
#

i do not want to grind those again

celest kindle
#

Yeah it does

iron pilot
#

I think hard mode is like merciless before the enemy buff and player nerf

rapid epoch
#

hard it is

celest kindle
#

Merciless strips away everything except outfits

rapid epoch
#

idc about everything else i just dont want my social stats gone

iron pilot
#

Be big brain and do merciless but you hack in max social stats

#

Lmfao

celest kindle
#

Lmao

#

I've been trying to get the social stats back on my Merciless run

#

I'm on 5/29 iirc

#

I'm almost at Rank 3 on everything

iron pilot
#

I think if I can replicate my schedule last playthrough

#

I can get a good run in

#

I finished Aigis at 1/22

rapid epoch
#

i got mitsuru to rank 8

dreamy orchid
#

if you hack in max social stats tho then there's no reason not to just go to the arcade and work towards a max stat persona every night

celest kindle
#

Tbh i followed a guide for a little to get stats and some sls but then i missed a couple parts so i just went "fuck it, we ball" and then started to raise them on my own

#

Used the PC and a couple of the stores

rapid epoch
#

im just gonna do hard lol

celest kindle
#

Also Arcade

#

Tbh i don't get why there's some places that only rlly get you 1 sl point

hollow trail
#

oh i mean if you're doing NG+ with carryover MQ is gonna do literally nothing until like... Nyx

lol

#

you'll oneshot everything

rapid epoch
#

I HATE SOCIAL STATS

native garden
iron pilot
#

Because Merciless wipes everything except costumes

#

It's written in the mod desc that you either start fresh at the start though

#

Some things that can break a lot of things is registered dlc personas

rapid epoch
#

so im guessing i can do tactics

#

and itll be good

native garden
#

Oh tactics is great…if you want every fight to be decided on a coin flip

dreamy orchid
#

get good at the game

rapid epoch
iron pilot
#

Nah you're better off not doing tactics

#

Technically it's not designed to be with tactics first, although the option's there

dreamy orchid
#

p3r's tactics are pretty limited even with meovv's overhaul simply due to the lack of more complicated options, but they can get the job done

#

not being allowed to guard is the main issue but you can always cheat by enabling direct commands for a second just to do that

iron pilot
#

I found the worst composition for Nyx

dreamy orchid
#

it involves koromaru i presume

iron pilot
#

And Ken

#

Basically have Ken but don't have any hard hitters in the party

#

It's...usable

#

Beatable, even

#

Just that you can't one shot phases at all

#

Ken doesn't exactly enable quick kills, his job is ensuring the guys that do don't die

#

So his advantage here isn't as pronounced

#

So basically

#

Phys junpei

#

Ken

#

Koro
