#

i like that this fight proves they know sukukaja affects multitarget skills

iron pilot
#

Honestly same

iron pilot
#

Although I poisoned the tower

#

Lol

iron pilot
#

Nah I won without theurgia after this

dreamy orchid
#

bruh i was watching that vid and it looked like a sloooooogggg but maybe you should've just had poison boosters fr

dreamy orchid
#

the boss did not deal close to that damage when i fought it lol

hollow trail
#

then it clicked in

#

ah

#

theurgyless

dreamy orchid
#

still think you could've optimised it more by just like

iron pilot
#

Super tarunda!!!

dreamy orchid
#

attacking the sword with strike then passing to mitsuru to distress again

#

but ig you didn't wanna risk the damage

hollow trail
#

my honest reaction

#

Deicidal Poison (Samael)465
Decreases all foes' Accuracy/Evasion for 3 turns. High chance of Poison.

iron pilot
#

Formed*

#

I just used a raw Samael lmao

dreamy orchid
#

cool that ailments are actually able to be used in these fights though, just wish i had a reason to engage with that

hollow trail
#

what if justice was high ailment chance instead of high crit chance and it was also freaky instead

#

aigis theurgies are pretty ailment oriented i think it would fit

dreamy orchid
#

i'm not rly the type of person to say "you control the buttons you press" because the temptation to press the big red nuke button is wayyyy too high

iron pilot
#

Skill issue

dreamy orchid
hollow trail
#

yuki ass response

errant pumice
#

I just follow this, though I don't think it's 100% accurate since I got sinful shelled many times without knowing what rule I broke

hollow trail
#

be fr now

#

ailment would fit

dreamy orchid
#

i have my own ideas for justice but i do think making it light would be a baseline improvement

iron pilot
#

Our justice is the 10 plagues

dreamy orchid
#

make it more unique in general lol

hollow trail
#

i was gonna keep it pierce but with way lower crit

#

and ailment

#

light works ig

dreamy orchid
#

ehhh

dreamy orchid
#

she has two pierce theurgias

hollow trail
#

she's the pierce robot it's her nature

dreamy orchid
#

and p3 protag doesn't get a light one

#

dreamfest is also dark now so it'd mean she covers light and dark with it

hollow trail
#

dreamfest can be made fully support btw

#

since there's no total and anim supports it

dreamy orchid
#

i think it being fully ailment is more hype

iron pilot
#

Light phys

hollow trail
#

im just not sure if full ailment would be good

dreamy orchid
#

give it debuff too or something

hollow trail
#

might make it outright useless in comparison

dreamy orchid
#

fuckinmg

hollow trail
#

its still only good for joker atm

dreamy orchid
#

new moon dreamfest that is aoe debilitate instead of charm lmao

hollow trail
#

ehhh

dreamy orchid
#

charm + knockdown (jack bros reference) + dekaja (raktapaksha reference)

hollow trail
#

80% charm does have freaky potential to synergize with cyclone arrow tho

#

yo

#

wait

dreamy orchid
#

i think all of them being high damage nukes is cringe

hollow trail
#

waitwait

dreamy orchid
#

more utility shit is cooler

hollow trail
#

let me cook

errant pumice
#

New MQ Update:

Moon dreamfest has been moved to mitsuru and it's just Marin Karin

hollow trail
#

LET ME COOK

#

get this

#

dark element

#

medium damage

#

charm

#

shift to shift boost yukari

#

cyclone arrow

dreamy orchid
#

dreamfest is "severe" damage in base game

hollow trail
#

ik

iron pilot
#

Let me cook actually

Incubus just pierces shadows with his cock

dreamy orchid
#

its later than king and i with a worse affect so kinda needs to be stronger ig

hollow trail
#

i'm nerfing the dmg if it's more utility shit

#

could debilitate too

#

idk man

#

just ailment is kinda mid in bosses

#

if it could pierce bosses ailment resists

dreamy orchid
#

just ailment doesn't rly work in a game where it takes like 3-5 turns to charge it

#

i think ailment + support effect could be cool

iron pilot
#

Ailments suck in game where majority nulls at the end

hollow trail
#

wait i need to test this actually, what if i made the boss resists for ailments "Block" instead of "BlockNEUTRAL"

would theurgy pierce it

#

that could be nice

dreamy orchid
#

hahahahah

iron pilot
dreamy orchid
#

make justice light with instakill chance that pierces resistances

#

and see if that lets it bypass lmao

hollow trail
#

you know what

#

i'm gonna do just that

#

let me make justice 100% instakill chance and make erebus base null light

#

errr

#

charm might be a better idea

#

do akihiko and ken null ailments

#

ik aki can be dizzied

dreamy orchid
#

not dizzy

#

but idk about normal ones

hollow trail
#

let me make dreamfest freaky then

#

one sec

#

ok

#

aki and ken have "block" on charm

#

and freakyfest is 100% charm

#

time to test

iron pilot
#

Why are you seducing a child

hollow trail
#

freakyhiko

#

ken goes first?

errant pumice
#

What mods are you using? lol

hollow trail
#

i dont remember that

dreamy orchid
iron pilot
#

? He always did

dreamy orchid
#

i don't member if its scripted in base game

iron pilot
#

Or do you mean start of the fight

hollow trail
#

aw boo it doesn't pierce through affinities

#

yeah start of fight

dreamy orchid
#

its over

iron pilot
#

Hmmm that is odd

dreamy orchid
#

wait does ken really go after aki

#

before i mean

#

bleh

hollow trail
#

yes

dreamy orchid
#

that's like anti-synergy

hollow trail
#

I SAID THIS SO MANY TIMES

#

koro/junpei is the only one that works

dreamy orchid
#

logically ken should go second because of vile assault

hollow trail
#

and shock

iron pilot
#

Ken goes first

#

He almost killed me that was funny

dreamy orchid
#

that's so cringe bruh

hollow trail
#

im gonna try BLOCKWeak now

#

but i have doubts

dreamy orchid
#

if ken were second it'd be way better fr

hollow trail
iron pilot
#

Both of them are stupid they tried to hit phys on Aigis twice

#

With Arahabaki on

dreamy orchid
#

its just funny that there's like actual anti-synergy

iron pilot
#

Ken's first in FES too

dreamy orchid
#

dumb af

errant pumice
#

Both of them are stupid, they don’t even have the right party stats/moves! smh

dreamy orchid
#

akifreako should knock down for amada sweep

dreamy orchid
#

especially junpei having maragidyne

hollow trail
#

lol

#

i can fix it

#

i just need to swap their actual position

#

in the formation table

#

bit annoying but it works

errant pumice
#

Doesn’t Junpei have a higher magic stat than his strength stat in the battle?

iron pilot
#

He doesn't want to bust out Vorpal Blade yet

hollow trail
#

LOL IT FOCUSED ON AKI'S DICK FOR KEN'S DIALOGUE

dreamy orchid
#

lol???

hollow trail
#

oh ok nvm i can't swap them

#

it hardcodes ken first

#

unless i like

#

literally swapped the blueprints

dreamy orchid
#

can you keep it changed just for aki cock cam

hollow trail
#

yuki ass comment

iron pilot
#

I didn't say it.

hollow trail
#

ok yeah theurgies cannot pierce ailment resistance no matter what

errant pumice
#

I’m kidding

iron pilot
#

Cooking bullcock

#

Oh yeah Junpei was staring at Akihiko's speedo once

hollow trail
#

one thing i need to test

#

is to mod a battle formation to see if it crashes if i go past 5

#

i have a really fucking funny idea with a boss that just summons more and more and more shadows if you don't check it

iron pilot
#

Sounds like an fes answer boss

hollow trail
#

in any case i will at least be able to make full moon bosses spawn downable minions

#

which is good for getting shift boost to proc in those

dreamy orchid
#

its funny that in base episode aigis, metis' theurgia charge condition and trait are just not applicable for the final boss

#

almost incentivised not to bring her if her base kit weren't so cracked

hollow trail
#

i dont mind too much

dreamy orchid
#

if akihiko had a better theurgia i'd unironically run him instead

iron pilot
#

Being an Akasha Arts spammer by default is slready goated

hollow trail
#

why does ken's feel so shit

#

when the power is actually not that bad

dreamy orchid
#

his theurgia?

hollow trail
#

yes

iron pilot
#

His base stats suck

dreamy orchid
#

generally lower offensive stats than some other characters along with less access to boosts

iron pilot
#

Also only Amp by default

dreamy orchid
#

ken can only get light boost + amp

#

and running light boost means no pierce boost

#

so generally you wouldn't bother

hollow trail
#

except for jonkling the jorker

dreamy orchid
#

akihiko's has lower base but he has higher combined offensive stats, more boosters innate and buff amp

iron pilot
#

Jonkle'd all over the place

dreamy orchid
#

so he hits quite a bit harder

iron pilot
dreamy orchid
#

unironically ken theurgia feels worse than myriad arrows most of the time

#

its free though and has high dizzy chance so good to spam it off cooldown before his op one is unlocked

hollow trail
#

i hate divine retribution

#

so much

#

cyclone arrow too but not as much

dreamy orchid
#

give it down bonus pussy

#

cruel attack but awesomer

hollow trail
#

does down bonus work on magic

also it would mog yukari because down is more common than charm

dreamy orchid
#

down bonus is 1.5x tho

#

charm bonus is 2x

#

and yes it works on everything

iron pilot
#

Regular down bonus is 1.2x

#

Hmmmmm

dreamy orchid
#

could also just lower its base to compensate for the down bonus buff

hollow trail
#

mayb

iron pilot
#

You can't jonkle the jonker in that case

hollow trail
#

would be shit on undownables

iron pilot
#

Midsuru sweep???

dreamy orchid
#

i think they should ideally all have a gimmick though and only down bonus and instakill would fit ken, and down bonus is far more practical of the two

hollow trail
#

the earrape with aoe skills

dreamy orchid
#

now the real question

#

is wtf do you do with hound of hades lmao

hollow trail
#

ok so

#

wait

#

let me list them

#

Cyclone Arrow: Heartbreaker bonus
Hack n Blast: Phys
Lightning Spike: ???
Blizzard Edge: Freeze
Divine Retribution: Down Bonus
Hound of Hades: ???
Orgia Mode: Is orgia mode
Bleeding Fury: Phys

Tranquility: Is already support
Blaze of Life: Self Diarahan (Boring, but it's all that fits)
Electric Onslaught: ???
Blade of Execution: Debilitate + Crit Chance
Divine Intervention: Is already support
Power Howling: Is already support
Maximum Firepower: Phys
Blitz Charge: Phys

#

Then the mc ones ig

dreamy orchid
#

feel like phys ones should be differentiated a bit too

iron pilot
#

Lightning Spike's ok as is tbh it's AoE Cyclone Arrow

#

With tarukaja

dreamy orchid
#

could give junpei's one lower base than magic ones but like higher crit chance to fit with his characteristic

hollow trail
#

gamblebait

dreamy orchid
#

also can incentivise blaze of life over it a bit more for pure damage

dreamy orchid
iron pilot
#

It's buff amp boy

dreamy orchid
#

i feel like some kind of debuff thing could fit the akifreako ones just because that was his shtick

iron pilot
#

That's the perk

hollow trail
#

Masukunda lets gooo

dreamy orchid
#

mahatarunda on lightning spike so that he still technically has tarunda in the kit?

iron pilot
#

Idk distress + shock?

hollow trail
#

that's a grief

iron pilot
#

Super tarunda combo

hollow trail
#

if you get shock

#

Tarunda + Distress would be funny as fuck

#

but the shock chance tho

dreamy orchid
#

if only you could make elemental shit crit

iron pilot
#

Everyone has triumvirate passives it's fine

dreamy orchid
#

imagine electric onslaught with crit chance

#

would be heat

iron pilot
#

Null shock/freeze/dizzy

dreamy orchid
#

lmfao turn it into strike but keep the shock

hollow trail
#

You said strike would be shit though

#

i suggested this b4

dreamy orchid
#

it'd be better than elec but it kinda further disincentivises using the elec one

iron pilot
#

They're saying make it phys elec I think

dreamy orchid
#

nah phys elec would be meaningless here cus no crit and it already scales on both stats

hollow trail
#

physelec cant crit so it wouldn't matter

#

yeah

#

same scale

dreamy orchid
#

i think strike with shock could work but it feels like a lazy solution

#

something more gimmicky could be more fun but mitsuru already stole debilitate

#

ig i'm not opposed to making it strike so long as piercing resistance is removed from theurgia

hollow trail
#

it's bad if lightning strike can also shock

dreamy orchid
#

so there's reason to use the other one

hollow trail
#

straight downgrade

dreamy orchid
#

make lightning spike do mahatarunda

hollow trail
#

but if it fits journey, sure

dreamy orchid
#

i think it'd work in both

#

especially cus magic characters all learn breaks

#

including akipeako now

hollow trail
#

what about ken and dog

#

can't break there

#

maybe they could pierce still

dreamy orchid
#

give their ones funny gimmicks to compensate

errant pumice
#

dog cause fear, dog is scary

dreamy orchid
#

or like, just let them pierce ig

#

dog having pierce could be fine i think

hollow trail
#

pierce as a gimmick itself is quite lazy

iron pilot
#

Give fear 100% crit again

hollow trail
#

lol?

dreamy orchid
#

well pierce + something else maybe

#

koromaru theurgia ghastly wail effect 🔥

hollow trail
#

ghastly wail

#

LOL

#

my thoughts exactly

#

it's bad tho

dreamy orchid
#

i still think down bonus on ken would be heat

#

idk what to do for koromaru tho

#

maybe full moon bonus? but doesn't apply for episode aigis and is kinda lame either way

hollow trail
#

power howling objectively too good

dreamy orchid
#

literally wtf fits koromaru bro

iron pilot
#

He dodges

#

A lot

hollow trail
#

masukunda is boring bro

dreamy orchid
#

he already has auto-sukundeez anyways

#

also like

#

can't even give it ailments or something creative like knockdown cus every fucking boss nulls ailments from dark skills

errant pumice
#

I wonder if it's possible to do a fire/ice/wind/elec break all stacked up in a therugy move

hollow trail
#

lol auto masukunda makes koro objectively the worst joker party member

#

it is and the mod is getting that

dreamy orchid
#

no he cures it turn one

hollow trail
#

not as theurgy though

dreamy orchid
#

his first turn is always dekaja + hiito raisah

iron pilot
#

Don't worry bro he can do Revolution

#

Trust

dreamy orchid
#

i think koro's theurgia being dark element straight up makes it inherently bad

hollow trail
#

lol?

dreamy orchid
#

can't give it gimmicks cus bosses need to null dark ailments due to mudo

hollow trail
#

ah

#

instakill feared is bad too because every single boss needs to null fear

#

it's not approachable

dreamy orchid
#

could also just give it 100% instakill so it one shots things in randoms

#

like be fr, nobody using it over power howling against bosses anyways

hollow trail
#

it already instakills by itself

#

it's randoms

#

low hp

#

also it's single target isn't it

iron pilot
#

Yeah

dreamy orchid
#

unless you made it slash with some gimmick or something 😈

hollow trail
#

fuck it 400 base

errant pumice
hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

honestly?

#

making it massive is probably the only solution

dreamy orchid
#

cus he has power howling innate bro

hollow trail
#

not in ep aigis

dreamy orchid
#

nobody using this over that

#

yea but in ep aigis his theurgia is still ass

#

weakest in the party

iron pilot
#

Koro will beat Junpeak

dreamy orchid
#

besides maybe ken but ken charges like twice as fast

iron pilot
#

Zamn

hollow trail
#

Massive might be the ticket ig

#

acceptable damage with potential to be #1 with incense

dreamy orchid
#

just make koro massive in place of having a gimmick

#

and let others have more interesting stuff

#

uh, what about metisu

#

orgia i think is fine but the 2nd one kinda boring af

hollow trail
#

i mean i liked it but yeah

dreamy orchid
#

no the anim is cool

#

but the effect is literally worse hack n blast

#

same stats but worse crit

hollow trail
#

is it really, i always sister boosted it so it did 10k damage

dreamy orchid
#

well metis is just cracked either way

#

but yeah its 250 base with 10% crit i think

#

whereas hack n blast is the same but with 20% crit

hollow trail
#

just 10%, felt like way more

iron pilot
#

I never felt it Crit myself

dreamy orchid
#

oh its 15%

iron pilot
#

Then again i only popped it three times rn

#

Oh it's just Aigis but strike

#

Lol

#

(foreshadowing)

dreamy orchid
#

but yeah idk, i think phys theurgias need differentiated a little

hollow trail
#

how other than just fucking with critrate

#

you can't multihit a theurgy

#

lol imagine

dreamy orchid
#

junpei lower base but crit focused, shinji maybe higher base but low crit, aigis idk let her pierce resistances cus missiles and shit

hollow trail
#

missiles and shit aren't supposed to work on shadows!!!

dreamy orchid
#

erm akshually this is deboonked

#

weaponry is enhanced by perusona abilities

hollow trail
#

ok I'll make the Pierce skills Pierce 😎

dreamy orchid
#

this is canonical reason for why weapons have effects too

iron pilot
#

Do you guys just have the urge to make Aigis flip before entering doors or going down stairs

hollow trail
#

yes

#

i did it with mc too

dreamy orchid
#

also make aigis orgia mode strike tbh

#

her having both a strike and pierce theurgia would be cool

#

anim looks strike anyways

iron pilot
#

Metis foreshadowing

hollow trail
#

it would but no one would realistically spec it because it's fucking orgy mode

dreamy orchid
#

yeah but akasha arts is fucking heat bro

iron pilot
#

Synergy with strike boost gun

dreamy orchid
#

fuck primal force, we gamble here

hollow trail
#

primal slash

iron pilot
#

Who tf uses Primal mid

hollow trail
#

akasha slashes

dreamy orchid
#

akasha with just amp is better on average than primal with boost and amp

#

in mq akasha sweeps

iron pilot
#

Sukukaja

#

Use it

dreamy orchid
#

akipeako

#

but yeah idk maximum firepower piercing could be neat

#

could let charging blitz do that as well since metis would now be the only member whose theurgias are both the same element

#

assuming akihiko's 2nd one becomes strike

hollow trail
#

Slashing Blitz

dreamy orchid
#

it ends with that sick drop kick though

hollow trail
#

I'm trolling

dreamy orchid
#

herculean slash

hollow trail
#

yes

#

herculean shot

dreamy orchid
#

Herculeandyne

hollow trail
#

maha heracledhainn

iron pilot
#

I can't believe they replaced rock dad with a woman in this game

#

Unbelievable

hollow trail
#

who

iron pilot
#

Oh right it's not Ouyamatsumi in P3

dreamy orchid
#

so like

#

are any ideas being settled on rn

iron pilot
#

Dakini gives Herculean Strike first instead of Ubelluris (he gone)

hollow trail
#

more or less it's just that I'd like having support effects tied in

#

if they can't, more power

#

if they can, less power

dreamy orchid
#

i think matarunda on lightning spike is a pretty free one at the very least

#

especially cus he's getting sukunda/tarukaja now instead

hollow trail
#

i also want protag theurgies to not exceed Heavy in power, to incentivize Best Friends strats

dreamy orchid
#

could also rework best friends into aoe hiito raisah

hollow trail
#

the charge is cracked though

iron pilot
#

Me with the concentrate Arahabaki/Bloody Charge Abaddon

dreamy orchid
#

as opposed to charge + concentrate to one (fuuka does this to all)

#

by the time you realistically get decarabia though you have revelation

#

aoe heat riser at least matches fuuka's thing and is on demand

#

whereas best friends is like 3x worse than an effect fuuka can do

hollow trail
#

I've used best friends in the answer to pull off an instakill with metis and it felt pretty nice

dreamy orchid
#

especially if you're adding donum gladi/donum magici

hollow trail
#

but yea

iron pilot
#

I had auto charge

#

So I uh

dreamy orchid
#

metis already has charge tho 😭

hollow trail
#

she didn't

iron pilot
#

I quick kill Mitsuru/Yukari

hollow trail
#

at that time

#

or if she did it was like

#

turn order

dreamy orchid
#

hmm

hollow trail
#

she was right after so i just did best friends

#

and finished faster

#

optimal routing

dreamy orchid
#

objectively the best people to receive best friends are ken, akihiko and endgame mitsuru

hollow trail
#

and yourself

dreamy orchid
#

nah its not worth on protag cus her theurgias are insane

#

and she has easy access to charge/concentrate

hollow trail
#

why charge them if you can just use those insane ones then

dreamy orchid
#

there are scenarios where party members could be better

#

but i also agree that best friends usage is very limited

#

which is why i'm in favour of reworking it personally

warm dew
#

Akihiko is probably single most useful person to use best friends on isnt he?

iron pilot
#

Arguably 0 use cases honestly

dreamy orchid
hollow trail
#

concentrate blaze of life + charged brave blade

iron pilot
#

Especially in the answer, you get concentrate and charge herbs for free

dreamy orchid
#

okay but if you have the equips needed for blaze of life, his brave blade will be kinda mid

iron pilot
#

You can run Fire Amp sword and Slash Amp equip

#

Remember

#

It's fine

dreamy orchid
#

meanwhile ken getting light boost, light amp and pierce amp from his equips 🔥

#

or metis with like fucking wind boost boots and other silly shit

#

all of metis' equips felt so random lol

#

like wdym my armour gives me slash boost are you insane

hollow trail
#

junpei with like +20 Luck from equips alone at one point was really funny

warm dew
#

tbf all the answer armors are weird

dreamy orchid
#

i had +13 str on ken from equips

warm dew
#

feels like theyre randomly generated as you open the chest

hollow trail
#

Same

#

that's a good thing imo

dreamy orchid
#

ken is so cracked

#

actual haxman

hollow trail
#

gambling is fun

dreamy orchid
#

one shots all encounters before aigis even gets a turn

warm dew
#

true

#

gambling is funNY

dreamy orchid
#

i need to get dragon boots and pierce amp accessory for ken

#

no +13str will hurt but the auto-tarukabellion is worth

iron pilot
#

Technically they're presets but there's just 69420 of them

dreamy orchid
#

yeah its like fake rng equips, which is clever

iron pilot
#

I need firm stance legs and another enduring soul shoe

#

And I'm gonna beat up the jonkler after incense

errant pumice
#

Firm stance/enduring soul is my favorite combo

hollow trail
#

what if onslaught is Strike Tarunda + Distress

and Lightning Strike is AoE medium with 80% shock

dreamy orchid
#

i like that it adds back the more roguelike feel at least, even if it'd fit tartarus better than abyss of time lol

iron pilot
warm dew
#

what even is the strategy for Jonker

dreamy orchid
iron pilot
#

You kill him

warm dew
#

i havent gotten that far into the answer yet

dreamy orchid
#

rename it to just Onslaught because you removed the elec from it lmao

hollow trail
errant pumice
hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

also i think 80% shock on an aoe kinda op tbh considering shock deletes turns

#

it'd trivialise a lot of early tartarus bosses

warm dew
#

?

hollow trail
#

no

#

way more than liz rules

iron pilot
#

No

hollow trail
#

like triple the rules

errant pumice
#

Worse

warm dew
#

im not fighting his ass then

#

fuck that

iron pilot
#

Also different rules per phase

dreamy orchid
#

quadruple the rules of liz with no actual telegraphs for said rules

hollow trail
#

they literally disabled core mechanics like crits

#

pure anti fun

dreamy orchid
#

@errant pumice how did you tank his hits with party though fr

warm dew
#

and I already thought Liz was a dogshit fight

#

what a joke

iron pilot
#

He's not even hard

dreamy orchid
#

doesn't the megidolaon do like 800-1000 even with 99 en

iron pilot
#

You just revive them I guess

dreamy orchid
#

wait is firm stance the solution

hollow trail
#

joker is the only fight in p3r where i unironically accept the use of the word "slog"

dreamy orchid
#

istg

iron pilot
#

Uh no, I don't think firm stance is for members

errant pumice
#

Incenses/revive spam

iron pilot
#

Only Aigis

#

Except divine pillar you can give that to one person

dreamy orchid
#

divine pillar ken op

#

oh wait ken can't even use his second theurgia lmao

iron pilot
#

Yeah you can't

dreamy orchid
#

or did you just babysit them

errant pumice
dreamy orchid
#

peak

#

what party you bring btw

#

aki/mitsuru/junpei seems to be the go to

errant pumice
#

Aigis/Metis/Mitsuru/Ken

#

Literally the opposite team, lol

iron pilot
#

Ken is mid

#

He's not part of the superteam anymore dude

dreamy orchid
#

amada is hype though

#

you don't see the vision

iron pilot
#

Yeah I'm not blind

dreamy orchid
#

gambler with like 2-3 turn theurgia charge for doing nothing

#

for quick kill he's not part of the squad but like the quick kill is literally p3f armageddonless levels of obtuse

iron pilot
#

Nah...

#

FES armageddonless is leagues above

dreamy orchid
#

true but i think its just as stupid

#

technically less rng but like enough to where its straight up not worth going for

iron pilot
#

I'll just setup now

#

I just need dead moon husks

dreamy orchid
#

i think fighting the boss at all seems like more work than its worth so maybe going for quick kill isn't as insane as i think

iron pilot
#

Yeah quick kill is also optimal for prep

#

Less personas

dreamy orchid
#

it seems like there's so much to keep track of

iron pilot
#

You only need to build two of them from what I can tell

#

I pick Telos/Baal Zebul

#

Or Goemon if you use DLC

warm dew
iron pilot
#

....no

#

But monad appears more often

warm dew
#

thats true

iron pilot
#

So no resets

#

You need to monad either way for the HP/SP grind

warm dew
#

i at least find monads in the answer more fun than base game

#

slightly

#

does going into the lvl 3 door improve your odds of dmh at all or should I stick with the lvl 1 door to save on time

iron pilot
#

Honestly idk what level 1 doors give

#

Does it guarantee material?

warm dew
#

I'm pretty sure they're guaranteed mats, but I also haven't gone into many lvl 1s

iron pilot
#

I always go 3 and never died yet

warm dew
#

usually same

#

I can go check in a few min, just need to boot it up

warm dew
iron pilot
#

Then yeah that's fine if you got all the needed equips

deft halo
#

What's even the point of using poison in mq? It deals what, 5% of hp per turn? The only reason to inflict is if the enemy is immune to everything else, and even then you should probably spend a turn doing something better. At least for player it blocks shifts and theurgies

hollow trail
#

there's a hard limit on summons

#

can only have 5 units in a battle

#

but at least summonables is figured out now

celest kindle
#

kinda old convo by now but here's everyone's levels so far

hollow trail
#

sheesh

inland crystal
#

i did ""speedruns"" of 3p/4g/5r and the way i got through it was just by having people to talk with in vc

#

but if i was trying to get an actual good run i think i'd wanna die

potent fog
#

yeah thats definitely more understandable, just taking it not too seriously might be fun especially with other people to talk to, but actually trying for WR or just a competitive time in general sounds like actual torture lmao

#

especially with how many factors are completely outside of your control in something like a JRPG even if you do plan around mitigating the randomness

#

routing must be fuckin nuts too, like how tf do you even figure out the shortest possible route to clear the game without leaving yourself open to dying and having to redo tons of progress?

celest kindle
#

I mean it might just be a pain for the 100% category of a WR but 100% Speedrun on a big JRPG sounds like tall order

inland crystal
#

none of the persona games even have 100% categories

hollow trail
#

reload could tbh

#

actually all of them can

#

just put in full compendium and quest list

native garden
#

Can’t wait for that 35 hour world record of P3R:MQ 100% Merciless Speedrun

iron pilot
#

Yo @hollow trail does the shuffle time tweak on MQ would work on The answer

#

I just want the guaranteed shuffle time per fight

hollow trail
#

im not sure because answer also has btlcalc of its own

iron pilot
#

Aw.

#

Looks like I'm doing the grind raw

#

This is gonna suck

hollow trail
#

you could just try billcosbyTRUE

iron pilot
#

True.

bronze seal
#

the only thing in it is metis stuff and some "MajorArcanaGetLimitAstrea", so i think it would still be using MustAppearMajorEncount from the normal btlcalc. maybe.

iron pilot
#

Sounds promising

hollow trail
#

the formula isn't the best but it shows the problem kinda lol

#

( ( ( sqrtPow*2ifAoE ) * 10 ) * avgHits ) + (crit*2)

#

(castor and dlc are excluded)

celest kindle
#

What problem?

#

The skill power progression being weird?

hollow trail
#

the problem of very early skills overshadowing later, much worse skills

#

keeping things fully vertical is also bad, but a straight up downward trend is worst

#

this formula isnt perfect because you'd never do aoe against a single target

#

it's less damage

#

@dreamy orchid do you have a take on this

celest kindle
#

I think the point could be illustrated better if you separated stuff for Single Target and Multi Target

#

But yeah i think i can def see it

#

Looking at only the single targets they look all over the place

hollow trail
#

they should not be separated because they are all learned on the same xp curve

#

in technical terms, aoe phys is "best", unless there is only one target

#

so it gets a multiplier to the score

#

x2.0 might be too high but idk

celest kindle
#

Yea it's just a little confusing for viewing because of some skills going way up the going back down in the sheet

hollow trail
#

thats the point

#

they're ordered by the rank atlus gave them

#

if it's wrong, it's because they're learned wrong

celest kindle
#

Oh

#

Oh wow it looks even more fucked up when you consider that

hollow trail
#

it lines up with fatal end, neuro slash and tempest slash being garbage

#

i could just do a full swap on the skills, or i could adjust powers so it's linear

celest kindle
#

Zan-Ei somehow being learnt before Fatal End ???????

hollow trail
#

i'm removing vacuum slash from the game either way

#

swapping it with power slash (fes)

#

and changing power slash to cleave

#
50>30 pwr
5>10% crit
=7% hp
=1 foe
92>90% acc
Name>Cleave

Vacuum Slash
85>88 pwr
5% crit
14>10% hp
all foe>1 foe
90>92% acc
Name>Power Slash

Zan-ei
100 pwr
1.75 bonus
10% hp
1 foe
88>80% acc

Getsu-ei
180>100 pwr
1.75 bonus
13>10% hp
1 foe
90>80% acc```
#

i dont want to straight up do fes values

#

thats why im doing these calcs

celest kindle
#

Yea that's a good way to figure the numbers out

#

So no AOE Slash Skill till Neuro Slash

hollow trail
#

you read the list wrong

#

you get blade of fucking fury earlier

#

thats how busted it is

#

mq already makes it a bit better because matador and goemon won't learn it

#

matador has andalucia

celest kindle
hollow trail
#

look at the average level...

#

the levels dont even match the rank

#

its that wack

celest kindle
#

Oh my god

dreamy orchid
celest kindle
#

What were they cooking 😭

dreamy orchid
#

getsu-ei mogging the entire list before brave blade is funny

hollow trail
# dreamy orchid for what specifically
  • formula used
  • the ranking results of the phys skills
  • whether they should be swapped based on score, or score should be adjusted with the learns kept intact
#

i'm leaning on adjusting score, because swapping all learns is way worse

#

some personas just learn worse/better stuff. it's the nature of things

#

fes does it too

#

stats also pad that out

#

base power isnt everything

dreamy orchid
#

well you can always just grab the skill then fuse something with better stats

#

if anything you're incentivised to do this since generally good damaging skills and boosters are on different things

dreamy orchid
#

might make some skills seems artificially better/worse than they actually are tho

#

also you could technically account for potential crit also giving 1-more meaning you get to attack again

#

but that sounds like a lot of work

hollow trail
#

well that's why I'm askin if you agree with the rank, cuz i kinda do

#

except maybe heavens blad

#

all the mid seems obviously mid

#

no outliers

dreamy orchid
#

heaven's blade being worse than brave blade is a adachi_true

hollow trail
#

heavens mid real

dreamy orchid
#

in fes it was better but in reload its definitely worse

hollow trail
#

you will always crit!! so less power for more crit is redundant!!

#

heavens mid

dreamy orchid
#

well its also like

#

20% crit vs 25%

hollow trail
#

30

#

but yea

dreamy orchid
#

if brave blade were like 10 or even 15 it'd be more competitive ig

hollow trail
#

40 vs 60 with apt

#

but at 40% odds the bonus power will win out in long fights i feel

dreamy orchid
#

with additives accounted for both are close to guaranteed and i think the damage on brave blade and also it being actually inheritable makes it the obvious choice

hollow trail
#

yeah

#

I think the scoring formula is fine then

dreamy orchid
#

if heaven's blade were made inheritable i think it'd be a decent pick tho

hollow trail
#

not good not bad

dreamy orchid
#

rn its too much effort for like a sidegrade

hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

uriel has it too

#

but he's aeon so you need to manual level

hollow trail
#

uriel can suck a dick

#

level 57 vorpal blade havin ass

dreamy orchid
#

nerf driver to be the same multiplier as boost so you can add it to normal personas without it making them like twice as good

hollow trail
#

not anymore actually shit

#

i should've accounted for mq uniques too

#

but this is good for baseline rebalance anyway

#

Anyway I think lowering the score so it's linear is more realistic than swapping out the learns of every persona

dreamy orchid
# hollow trail

on the scoring though, i think its pretty fine besides the aoe thing being somewhat misleading for certain skills. like yeah its technically twice as good to hit two enemies, but also neuro-slash being around equivalent to zan-ei feels a bit wrong

hollow trail
#

i get that

#

aoe mult was 2.5 but it inflated shit too hard

dreamy orchid
#

it makes more sense than not giving aoe a boost tho

hollow trail
#

1.5x maybe?

dreamy orchid
#

cus like, arrow rain being aoe is huge for example

#

i think it might wank bad skills a bit but those are outliers either way

#

so i think its fine

hollow trail
#

yeah i gotta calc strike and pierce before i say shit

dreamy orchid
#

but like maragidyne will have a higher score than getsu-ei here for example lol

hollow trail
#

this formula was calcing phys only but i get u

dreamy orchid
#

oh actually no getsu would still be better cus crit

#

but yea

dreamy orchid
# hollow trail

deathbound and blade of fury being roughly equivalent is also funny but remains true in gameplay

#

blade of fury actually has better average damage assuming you have sukukaja up

hollow trail
#

i think magic doesn't need its learns adjusted too much, but, its power definitely could use raising, or the weak mults, or even adding magic drivers only

dreamy orchid
#

nah i disagree

#

because like, the gap between las and dynes is massive

#

and magic doesn't even have exclusive access to boosts to offset this difference now

#

it'd lead to the pre-madyne period feeling really bad for magic users

#

and ma-dyne is like endgame level in base game

#

at least on party

#

for protag its less bad but still way later than heavy aoe phys

hollow trail
#

i keep forgetting the fucking party exists

dreamy orchid
#

unless you made ma-dynes a lot earlier or like straight up added a new tier of magic lmao

hollow trail
#

barion...

dreamy orchid
#

or made magic ability something you get before amps but that might be too radical of a change

hollow trail
#

I don't mind scaling everything up

dreamy orchid
#

and also encourages full passive stacking a bit too much especially since its not a skill card so you'd always be inheriting it

hollow trail
#

full passive stacking is fire 🔥

#

if skillcards didn't exist i mean

dreamy orchid
#

if there were less boosters and more support passives i'd agree

#

i wish we had reason to run like regen 3 and shit anymore but like more damage is always better

hollow trail
#

useful passives......

dreamy orchid
#

oh yeah unrelated but like

#

regen 3 was added to junpei as a bootleg spring of life right

hollow trail
#

yea

dreamy orchid
#

so logically, he should have it innate in episode aigis

hollow trail
#

...yea

dreamy orchid
#

or just give him chidori spring of life skill ig

hollow trail
#

Level 30 diarahan

#

🔥

dreamy orchid
#

which in base game is just diarahan clone

#

could give it a more unique affect and let it only target self

dreamy orchid
hollow trail
#

lol

#

maybe

#

but yeaaa

#

im likely just gonna adjust scores to be linear

#

I can go from vorpal downward, nerfing anything that overpowers the previous skill
or from power slash, buffing anything that underpowers the previous skill

#

i did say i wanted to nerf less with 2.0

#

so

dreamy orchid
#

vacuum slash btfo'd

dreamy orchid
#

now arrow rain is the new king (it already was)

#

fact: fes vorpal blade is always weaker than p3r vorpal blade with boosters

iron pilot
#

Well it is 500 base 2x

#

Vs a higher base with almost 2x boost

dreamy orchid
#

nah its higher boost

#

multi-target exists

#

also shift boosters too if you want to wank further

#

and actually good crit rate with stronger crits

#

i don't really get removing vacuum slash tho

#

its worse than both swift strike and arrow rain but is gotten at the same time

hollow trail
west swift
dreamy orchid
#

yea that was what i was joking about

#

but like

#

its the worst of the three early game aoe skills

#

by far

hollow trail
dreamy orchid
#

do what i did and manually edit shuffle time rewards to push all the op skills to a more reasonable level and remove the weird shit of them considering myriad arrows and herculean strike equivalent

hollow trail
#

oh my god

#

tedium

#

i should though

dreamy orchid
#

it'd take quite a bit but like its kinda necessary

#

shuffle time getting you skills much earlier than fusion is hilarious

#

arrow rain in arqa 1 lmao

hollow trail
#

if scores align with sword rank it's not as necessary

#

arrow rain and holy arrow would be btfo

#

true

dreamy orchid
#

holy arrow should be like sword 3 at least

#

arrow rain like sword 6 or 7

hollow trail
#

let me calc strike and pierce first before i adjust scores

#

phys is phys

dreamy orchid
#

physing out

#

pierce will probs have the best scores besides for single target where its dramatically worse

hollow trail
#

im also inclined to just

#

embrace the modern balance of things

#

and pull a sh2

#

make bosses summon minions that can only be damaged by magic

#

which enable shift boost strats with phys

#

not a blanket fix for everything though

#

but it would increase variety in party comp

iron pilot
#

Good luck editing individual bosses

hollow trail
#

you mean like ive already done

#

im gonna make full moon mfs summon gatekeepers get fucked!!!!!!

celest kindle

Hermit summons drivers

#

That guy's chariot

hollow trail

dreamy orchid
#

there was a fight in le answer with 3 rampage drives and i was soyjacking

#

they nerfed him hard tho

#

he doesn't null or repel phys anymore

iron pilot
#

Is that the jonkler door

#

Haven't done it yet

#

Too busy grinding

dreamy orchid
#

i can't be bothered doing any of the jonker stuff unless i wanna commit to actually fighting him

#

but like, so much incense grinding bro

iron pilot
#

#

Well at the very least, you only need to build 2 personas in theory

#

dreamy orchid
#

or do you do the skill for charge

iron pilot
#

It doesn't build theurgia

#

Yeah

#

So you need the skill

dreamy orchid
#

i wouldn't do quick kill cus it relies too much on rng

#

im also not building magic cus i don't like using dlc

iron pilot
#

You'd use magic either way

dreamy orchid
#

if i don't rng into mastery i'll just use shadow hound without crits lmao

dreamy orchid
iron pilot
#

Just get the Futsunushi

#

Nah fr magic is stronger since phys can't crit

dreamy orchid
#

yea but the affinities are annoying

#

ig if i used my charge on shadow hound tho i'd need to use magic

#

without mastery tho 😔

iron pilot
#

Skill issue?

hollow trail
#

now the fuck do i do with this info

dreamy orchid
#

akasha arts being #1 was expected

hollow trail
#

yeah i was betting on akashit

#

should i add magic and not account for crit

#

to show how shit magic is

#

the sword ranks are so fucking random

dreamy orchid
iron pilot
#

See the idea is

#

You put growth 3 on Mada

#

Get Null Wind and Strike Amp

#

Fuse to Thor

dreamy orchid
#

they consider slash/strike/pierce aoe equivalents no matter the damage difference just because they are aoe

iron pilot
#

Then fuse to Melchizedek

dreamy orchid
#

and they also consider aoe magic to be on the same level

#

vacuum slash, swift strike, arrow rain and maragi are all sword 4

hollow trail
#

cock

dreamy orchid
#

despite arrow rain shit stomping the swift strike and vacuum slash shit stomping magic

dreamy orchid
#

actively going for strike is too much effort when pierce has the theurgia synergy and is much easier to build due to bishamonten

#

but akasha arts is good

#

i got it from cards before ??? tho lol

#

along with strike amp

iron pilot
#

Mada's when you get 9s at the time

#

Pro tip, growths stack

#

So uh, put 2 and 3

#

Besides I was doing no theurgia

dreamy orchid
#

wait so like

#

growth 2 + 3 is 150% xp on the persona

#

???

iron pilot
#

Yeah.

dreamy orchid
#

cracked

hollow trail
#

it stacks? what

#

ppl said no

iron pilot
#

From what I can tell, I put 2 and 3 on an Oberon

#

And that guy got to 99 first compared to just people with growth 3

hollow trail
#

hax

iron pilot
#

I could just check again I guess

dreamy orchid
#

put growth 3 and 2 on a party member so they gain xp faster

#

biblically accurate koromaru

hollow trail
#

lol

#

rating puts morning star as #1

#

i need to add a mult for boosters

#

that is really funny

#

gotta add multipliers for boosts

this is so sad

#

very funny

celest kindle
#

I assume the balance guy who was figuring out the numbers had a seizure near the end

west swift
#

what balance guy?

hollow trail
#

this is why we need hashino

dreamy orchid
#

hackshino come back, we need more of this

hollow trail
#

still better than reload

dreamy orchid
#

reload has medium (heavy) and severe (heavy) while p4 has heavy (light) and heavy (medium)

celest kindle
# west swift what balance guy?

See you don't hear of him because he's been hospitalized for 3 years after the seizure he had during the development of P3R

hollow trail
#

i still dont understand all these tbh

dreamy orchid
hollow trail
#

the ones marked ???? cdiakechi

dreamy orchid
#

srry my eyesight is bad lol

#

i didn't see them lol

hollow trail
#

i wanted to nerf ali dance tbh

dreamy orchid
#

what is the stat for knockdown rate when attacking downed character

#

if its like 1.2 then that's the bonus damage dealt to downed enemies

hollow trail
#

50

dreamy orchid
#

oh then i've no idea

hollow trail
#

down bonus is 1.25

#

its already here

dreamy orchid
#

+dmg to downed bonus is for like cruel attack

hollow trail
#

and assault is 1.5

#

yes

#

i renamed it myself

dreamy orchid
#

badhitratiobonus is ailment boost

hollow trail
#

its not

dreamy orchid
#

oh wait

#

its stagnant air

hollow trail
#

ailment boost is further down

dreamy orchid
#

and foul breath

hollow trail
#

ahh

dreamy orchid
#

dodge and evade mult are just for those skills

#

dodge might effect angelic grace/premonition too

hollow trail
#

yea ali dance is just not here

dreamy orchid
#

rip

hollow trail
#

what if crit boost was damage only

#

😈

#

no rate

#

alternatively rate only, but that feels stupid

#

because the passive exists

#

ik he cant get it

#

still

dreamy orchid
#

honestly could work, would make the damage boost being insane less bullshit too

#

rate only is dumb yeah

#

if it were rate only then haxman would sweep for damage

hollow trail
#

i nerfed Amp to 10 to match junpei's

iron pilot
#

If rate only, give 30%

dreamy orchid
#

yeah nerfing additives is good idea

hollow trail
#

i may be doing trolling, however

dreamy orchid
hollow trail
#

I swapped the values of Weakness Boost/Amp with Critical Boost/Amp

dreamy orchid
#

doesn't that just wank the protag harder

hollow trail
#

the protag isn't using the characteristic

#

he's critting.

dreamy orchid
#

why not just change like, actual crit/weak damage

hollow trail
#

i did

#

crit is 1.25x now

dreamy orchid
#

and weakness 1.5?

#

or are both 1.25 now

hollow trail
#

you cant change that in calc but i'll try adjusting in diff settings

#

i do want to wank magic

#

to compensate

dreamy orchid
#

if you make the modifier for it in difficulty settings 1.2 it'll make it 1.5

hollow trail
#

are mults added or stacked before calc

dreamy orchid
#

wdym specifically

#

all boosts are applied before damage calculation

hollow trail
#

like

dreamy orchid
#

includes crit/weak

iron pilot
#

I just know buffs and debuffs are last on the damage calc

hollow trail
#

weakness is 1.25x, if diff is 2.0x will it do "(Damage x 1.25) x 2" or will it do "Damage x (1.25 + 2)"

dreamy orchid
#

it'd do 1.25 x 2

#

it changes the weakness multiplier

iron pilot
#

Former I think, just look at the formulas guide on steam I guess

dreamy orchid
#

this is why merciless crits are 2.01x

hollow trail
#

does that make merciless significantly easier
