Yeah, that's the new communications manager. The last guy ritually disemboweled himself.

albus's great swordsman class kinda just stopped unlocking new mastery slot after level 40 ish? i mean mine is pretty strong already, but with a game that has level cap of 60 (with the paid dlc anyhow) that just seem kinda abrupt. so it's just flat stat progression and optimizing masteries after this? other characters still have slots to unlock. sion's black mage for example i think i saw slots that unlock at level 50's

 

[HoboForEternity]

I also appreciate the worldbuilding as i go deeper and deeper into the game. The storytelling isn't perfect but just how the drip feeding of lore is done really naturally. Like the fact that ESP users will eventually get sick and needs constant drugs to even function, was mentioned by Giselle flashback in one sentence then mentioned again by leton for his important plot point.

If this was pillars of eternity Giselle would explain in 15 paragraph textbook style about ESP users. This is just one example of it. The exposition is paced very well with a game this long. It has faults, many little faults that never mount into a bigger overall problems, but still noticeable nevertheless.

I think one of the problem with the story is how many times you defeat the gang bosses and they kept appearing again like team rocket. Granted these are usually are done in side missions but it’s just jarring when you get email from police that reward you for arresting a leader, then have him appear in the next story missions.

Expect it to be fixed in a patch...eventually.

More like Mediocre Swordsman. They really do him dirty, starting from the wind-resistant, non-bleedable, high damage robots...

 

[Grunker]

It’s fitting that Albus, being the cuck he is, also gets cucked by the character system

 

[Sykar]

Albus can be an amazing tank though. Fast forward to defensive showcase and watch him taking 3 damage against Blut Destron.


Solo violent case:

 

[Sykar]

The new character is ridiculous:


Rogue class guide:

 

[Jermu]

Rogue is good, esp ninja has the problem of enemies blocking and in that video Ash got lucky few times with clowns not blocking while not in hide

I should maybe play more different games

 

[Modron]

What demo did you play?

 

[Jermu]

skald

 

[HoboForEternity]

I just got leton. He's very good. I replaced kylie immediately. Not because she's bad. I am just too lazy to properly engange with the robot system to make her optimal. Leton is immediately more useful and has lowet barrier of engagement

 

[Jermu]

you dont need to mess with drones to make kylie strong. she is probably the most busted character with giselle (just because of her ability to summon beasts) well at least late game

martial artist leton is quite simple to play, superstar takes some time to get used to

 

[HoboForEternity]

am i gimping myself by making giselle a sniper instead of hunter? are beasts really worth it? at this point i really honestly doesn't feel like engaging tertiary mechanics. i found a red sniper that have 750+ attack power and giselle has been an insane damager.

 

[Jermu]

Most meta players seems to favor sniper you can still summon plenty of good beasts as a sniper but you can still finish the game easily without beasts taming it is quite annoying (can be cheesed though with immortality potion). if you go heavily on hunter masteries you are practically cheerleader for your beast with occasional traps since your dmg / blockshread is very bad.

and yeah there are some beasts that are better than most of playable characters mainly earth / spirit sp based ones

edit yup if I had to choose 1 beast which I would use whole playthrough glacier tima would probably be my choice as well. can solo most of content

Yes and no. You can live without beast. However, even non-legendary beasts are as powerful as human characters. So, you can benefit from some taming.

I would advise you to tame a glacier tima. It is powerful, simple to build, and can be used by a sniper.

 

[Rafidur]

IMHO hunter is more fun. Traps are unique (though you need some gear for them to be viable), legendary beasts are cool, and Heixing already does "sniper stuff" fine (and you can stick the flare on hunter anyway if required).

 

[Visperas]

I just want them to release a new game instead. Even with just the same asset and shit. Just a new campaign with existing system.

I would gladly spend money on it.

Yes! A thousand time yes! I played an almost 200 hour run and loved the shit out of it, but now I just want another campaign with new characters to start over. Stop with the DLC, give us a new campaign!!!

 

[HoboForEternity]

okay i caught ice and lighting timas. which one should i use? lighting for those troublesome mechs or ice to be super tank?

 

[Jermu]

lightning tima is kinda meh but should work well for chain killing vs targets that have low block.

ice can be tank that freezes everything with single hit with just using 2 ability masteries (if u are using ice scratching basic attack, non ice basic attack needs some more masteries to work). the best thing about glacier tima is his ability to block pretty much everything with frost mane.

I would just use ice tima for pretty much everything rather than lightning tima but I have played with legendary lightning tima and its still quite good

 

[Rafidur]

Lightning tima is a pretty cool chain killer, if you use the accessory that lets them run their SP move without ending overcharge. He has both his normal 6 bounce chain, his SP 8 bounce chain, and a 0 AP movement ability. Even if some people block or lightning impulse, hopefully the bounce kills SOMETHING and you move on. There's also the bush mastery to regain AP on killing from a bush, but it's very situational.

I also tried a defensive lightning tima, stacking effective 250% ranged dodge in bush+smokescreen with the -15 AT on dodge set, but he got obliterated by snipers anyway somehow.

now i caught a draki. there are like 1000 variants, which evolution path should i follow this draki baby?

 

[Jermu]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2020436206

draki king should be the best (try to get hidden wildness + scale armor)

you need draki queen / storm draki knight for later taming if u want 2 extra draki variants

 

[HoboForEternity]

I finished the base game. I knew it'd end in cliffhanger but kinda disappointed there is almost a zero resolution to the plot or even any answer.

story

1. What happened 10 years ago.
2. What is abandoned children project. There are some hints regarding this, it seems the destruction of 'alley' and the whole shebang is related. Part of the abandoned children project is causing chaos in wind wall district by manipulating the gangs and indirectly taking advantage of albus and his team to bolster election for the incumbent mayor and gain support for troubleshooter system. How this connect to alley i don't know. But judging by the story it also connect to ESP research institute to get free humant test subject like leton. Destroy the town, have bunch of kids orphaned, scour for ESP users then invite them to lab.
3. Spoonist. It is heavily implied ramijist is the founder and the first spoon, but spoonage is also one of lily's project in the ending credit slide. What their aim and why carter take over it is unknown.
4. What is vendetta's aim in wind wall district
I think that's all the major ones.

Still an amazing game, i will dive into the DLCs asap
