Man Xiao does not mess around... Also I’m ashamed of how long it took me to under the “unique” mechanic, it’s the number of individual unique cards played. I thought it was the number of “wish” played

Star of the City continues to be a slog. It kinda sucks how enemies can play the single alpha strike damage cards because they don't care about attrition while they're mediocre on the player side. Also is unlock-III supposed to revert to unlock-I after I use it? I'm not sure if I'm going crazy but it seems like a really bad card if that's the case.

MetaMeme posted:No, but you might be drawing another unlock that you haven't played. Weird. Ran into another bug in Chesed revelation where my character had a health bar but didn't appear on the map. Basically soft locked because the boss couldn't hurt him but I also couldn't do anything. Popped up at the very end and forced me to redo the entire thing. I hope the end game is less of a marathon than the revelations, I think 2 acts is plenty.

WarpedLichen posted:Weird. I ran into that same bug when I didn't use the pages for the various forms immediately. They should really require you use them. As for the marathons... that keeps happening. Another very useful feature for this game would be the ability to save and quite partway through an act.

I'm on the Binah realization and what's the correct way to handle the Judgement Bird phase gimmick now that I can't use fairy cheese. During the abnormality battle I was stumped so bad trying to do it properly and now I'm still stumped.

But I got killed by the insta-kill if you have 3 or more sin on your librarians card, am I missing something?? Admittedly I was only working with 3 librarians since it's been months since I did big bird and forgot you could redirect the attack.

Oh... yeah there's your problem right there. Five people can focus it down in short order. Three... three has to play the game—luckily in the realization version you can pass the sin along to the birds on either side of the boss, so if you win your clashes and don't let them hit you it won't be able to do too much to you.

So here's what you do with Judgement Bird. BLEED. SO MUCH BLEED. You can literally just ignore all the mechanics and burn it down with Bleed (and if you have Binah in this fight, which I think you should though I'm not sure, Fairy too) it'll basically just run out of HP before you need to meaningfully interact with any of the mechanics.

GilliamYaeger posted:So here's what you do with Judgement Bird. The Realization version is immune to Bleed/Burn/Fairy. For dealing with old Judgey you want to make it so that the birds have 3 Sin each by turn 2 of the fight. That will buy you enough time to kill him. However it is extremely fragile, a single lost clash and the librarian in question is toast. You can still definitely win though, even if you lose someone important like Nikolai. Just go in expecting to lose someone, and then get really excited when you don't.

GilliamYaeger posted:Considering that I killed Judgement Bird in the Realisation using DoTs, I know for a fact that it is not immune. You're thinking of Apocalypse Bird, which still isn't completely immune since I killed it with DoTs too. Twilight clears all its status effects only while it is in the Judgment Bird Egg phase. Once you kill that, it dies to status like most anything else.

Out of curiosity I checked someone's youtube playthrough of the Realization, and nope the Long Bird phase has a passive called 'Tattered Bandages' that makes it immune to Burn, Bleed and Fairy. Maybe it was changed at some point? I do also know that the normal version isn't and so can be killed hilariously easy with Fairy, but they fixed that for the Realization version.

You can just unga the realization version though. Justitia talks mad poo poo for someone with 100 stagger resist and normal resistance to pierce, he doesn't even spam counter dice like JB does in their fight.

I was stuck on Judgement Bird too until someone in this thread informed me of the forbidden technique known as "just beat the piss out of him"Theantero posted:So, the artbook says they kept the identity of the Black Silence vague in the game proper on purpose, but also confirms that yes, it was actually Angelica who was the Black Silence. Out of all the weapons, only Durandal belongs to Roland. Also explains his lackluster performance: guy isn't even a real Color Which also means he wasn't actually lying about being a Grade 1 Fixer, though he was absolutely bullshitting about how much fighting he did. He's strong enough to 1v1 Argalia and Distortion Argalia anyway so he's definitely no slouch Yinlock fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Sep 6, 2021 |

GilliamYaeger posted:Oh, that must have been how I won. I basically just used the same pierce-bleed deck for both the Long Bird and Realisation fights and didn't think too hard about it. "I have a lot of Power" is, in fact, a very good strat in this game. That's what I did, no debuffs or abnormality combos or whatever, just win clashes and you're golden. Thanks, Kim/Yujin/Nikolai/Iori/etc!

By the end he's had a chance to fight against and learn from a pile of other Grade 1s and three Colors.

I've decided that my new hill to die on is that the City is not particularly worse than real life, it's just less subtle. At a systemic level anyway

The R Corp exclusives are easy to forget too. Also, you probably have enough Brace Ups from getting the Hana pages, but almost every deck wants brace up so its worth checking.

What Star of the City/Impurity key pages do you have, and do you think you have set ups for them? You don't need these but they'll make your life easier. The final run of fights is honestly not that hard, the bosses in Star of the City are almost universally harder and you can frankly ignore most of their gimmicks. Xiao with: -Chi Wen Jin Ni -The Crying Children Chun Miris Malkuth's fight needs you to inflict a lot of burn, which these excel at. Any page with Puffy Brume Yesod's fight inflicts a lot of smoke The Purple Tear: -Venomous Fangs Laceration Snake's Prey -Dong-Hwan,  THE GRADE 1 FIXER Hod's the same as Malkuth, just with bleed 3x Serpentine Barrier, Bi An and Ominous power -You can cheese Hokma's fight with Lean, Bloody Wings. None of the other fights benefit particularly from setups beyond "good ones", so your life will be easier if you have Olivier, Index Proxies, Nikolai, Kalo and so on.

Yeah, I'm at the same place and I'm hoping I don't run out of steam halfway through a set due to the page-lock mechanic. I didn't expect to have to outfit four floors. I love (endgame spoiler) how the first fight is Philip, Again, even before any of the other characters we've literally only seen once. Everyone in the Blue Reverberation Ensemble has such far-out designs. I think the RECURSIVE SHARK might be my favorite

Yeah I was mostly afraid of running out of cards to outfit 4 floors but I'm at the last of the 4 and it seems pretty ok so far because each floor has a gimmick you need to learn. Each fight has taken my multiple tries to figure out said gimmick however, much like the abnormality fights. Cut it real close against both the first two bosses.

That's also why the fights aren't that difficult(though most of them will stonewall you super hard unless you have a team built specifically around whatever dumb gimmick they're packing) I found them kinda boring to be honest. Mostly because we barely know anything about a lot of them so rather than a fated battle it's more like some random assholes won't get off your lawn. Also final enemy aside their keypages are outstandingly boring and they don't give you any real combat pages to play with e: didn't read you were still in the middle of it, edited to avoid spoilers on that specifically

I went over why I wasn't a big fan of them before already, but I will say Rekindled Strike/Blazing Strike clone is pretty fun (if similar to rapid gashes). I guess they didn't bother since there was only 2 fights after, but... Still. It feels like it'd serve PM better to stick to a genre for a couple of games so they could get the hang of some of these game design issues they have. Just stuff like "don't have the climatic fight the entire game has been leading to require an entirely different skillset and approach than the entire rest of the game."
