okay. sometimes when I play I find sonic characters. for some reason whenever I play with them all of my items become unequipped whenever I pipe somewhere (including bosses which is really annoying) is the problem with NPC skins because it works fine when I play wiht people without them.

okay well partisans look worse at first glance but I was wondering are they truly worse? I want to know before I decide between bluefull and skyly

Me and my friends are trying to beat this and we tried a couple of times and we were close i think but still not enough. So i'm was wondering if you guys know any good advise on what to do. I"m going to tell you what we do and what char are we.

Leimrey: Humar: I just use excaliber or TJS

Emelious: Fomar: He makes the monster weaker and use what techs whats best for the monster.

leon: Ramar He use Heaven Punisher special or excaliber.

Anyone who joins

We do use twin before the start of the quest, and thats help alot. I just want to beat it and get the weapon, soo if you got any good idea please tell me! Thanks!

Has anyone picked up this game yet? I haven't had the chance to play it so I wanna know if there's anything different with the gameplay.

I;ve been looking for the new NPC skins and I can't find them. anybody else found them who can give me the link?

Well, i always had some questions regarding PB damage because i found that many things affect phonton blast damage and even more thanks to Cranberry. (GM at schthack server)
Let's start with the obvious so that new players understand what comes next, a phonton blast that attacks is the same as launching a powerfull grants attack, it's a light based attack but it's alot more powerfull.
Being so it works best on enemys that have a low ELT (light resisntance) otherwise the damage can be alot lower then the expected.
Things that we know that affect the damage are the IQ and syncro also, this is one more reason to have your mag maxed.

But i got some suprises when i lauched the phonton blast pilla, depending on my equips or even shifta the damage would be different.
There could be only 1 reason for that, the ATP stat, so if the attack of my char affected the pb, could other stats affect it also? that i don't know, but a member decided to make some tests using several Phonton Blasts and stats to see what more could influence the phonton blasts.

All testing was done against an offline Dolmolm. I chose this enemy because it's sort of like getting beat up by a Demolition Squid. The Photon Blast was Estlla each time

--Analasys--
The results here shocked me. I had always assumed only Synchro and IQ affected MAG's and their PB's, I could not have been more wrong. I discovered that EVP affects Photon Blast damage for Pilla! When I first started testing, I was taking my shield off and on to control damage I was taking, and making no note as to whether or not it was on. When the numbers weren't matching up consistently, I realized this as I was re-doing my testing. Let's go over each test now and I'll explain the results. Anything that says (tested twice) means I ran the same test conditions more than once to check for damage variance. I never found any damage variance in any of the tests, it was always consistant.

In test 1 I have no weapon on and no shield on. You can see my MST, ATP, DFP, and EVP stats. My Luck stat was 50 during the entire test. I did 1195 damage. In Test 2 I put on a Raygun+3 I found to test ATP. The shield is still off. As you can see the damage did not change. This shows that both ATP and ATA have no bearing on Photon Blast Estlla. In Test 3 I equipped my Windmill. Despite the lable this test was done before the raygun one, and at first I thought it was because of the ATP and I was almost ready to come here and tell you that ATP raises damage. But it's not the ATA at all. It's the 50 EVP bonus my Windmill gives me. That 50 EVP was worth 47 points of damage.

Test 4 brings the raygun back to test DFP. I lowered my DFP and the damage is the same. This proves DFP is not a factor. Test 5 equips both the Windmill and my Blue Ring. Just look at the difference. 163 extra damage from the 180 points extra of EVP. From my calculations approximately 93% of the EVP from my Windmill and Blue Ring went into direct added damage to the blast.

Test 6 has us raising the Synchro to 120. The Blue Ring and Windmill are both on. As you can see the Syncro affects the damage. Compare the results to Test 5.

Test 7 is the same except I took the Blue Ring off. YOu can see again that without the Blue Rings EVP the damage went down.

Test 8 is the IQ test. I forget if I have my shield on or not, but it doesn't matter. Compare it to either test 3 or 5. It's less than both of them. Both IQ and Synchro affect damage.

Test 9 tested MST. Note that my MST is a bit lower. Compare this to test 5. The MST affects the damage, not by a huge ammount but it does play a factor.

Not tested are whether luck or resistances play a roll. Only one enemy and only 1 Photon Blast have been tested, but the discoveres are pretty significant. No one every thought that EVP had an offensive purpose, but in fact it does. What does this mean for the other Photon Blasts? Are Pilla, Golla, and Farlla also affected by EVP? Or do other stats play a role with those blasts? What about Leilla and Mylla & Youlla? Does EVP or other personal stats affect those? If they are, that could change the very way people do PB combos. Could the FOnewearl with her highest MST and 2nd highest EVP be the Photon Blast queen and her using Mylla & Youlla will result in better bonuses than others using it? I just don't know now. I had no idea there was so much about Photon Blasts that I didn't know. We always assumed that only Synchro and/or IQ affected them, but that has just been disproved, at least as far as Estlla goes.

Testing to continue soon on the other Photon Blasts to see if they too are affected by MST, EVP, or other personal stats.

Cranberry Wrote:On the testing yesterday where I "tested twice" I got the same damage each time.

Cranberry's base EVP is permanently maxed with materials. So I could only test modified EVP with her. Now it's time to test base EVP. Enter Yasha the HUneewearl. The testing here is simple. We take one set of stats, test it. Equip 2 God/Legs, test it. Then repeat this process.




Testing character:
Yasha HUnewearl 129
Equipment:
DF Field
Nidra 50/100/50/0
120 Synchro
200 IQ

Stats 1:
ATP: 824(824)
DFP: 587(335)
MST: 603(603)
ATA: 153(153)
EVP: 610(483)
LCK: 10(10)

Stats2:
ATP: 824(824)
DFP: 587(335)
MST: 603(603)
ATA: 153(153)
EVP: 710(583)
LCK: 10(10)

No weapon or shield is equipped. The only difference between Stats 1 and 2 is that 2 God/Legs are put on to increase the EVP by 100.


Test 1: Stats 1
Estlla damage:
925

Test 2: Stats 2
Estlla damage:
1037

Test 3: Stats 1
Estlla damage
925

Test 4: Stats 2
Estlla damage
1037


This proves pretty convincingly that EVP is affecting damage. These were all done within the timeframe of about 20 minutes (Yasha fills her PB guage a lot faster than Cranberry does) and I did the tests in the order shown. Without EVP, with EVP, without EVP, with EVP. The damage values are consistant as you can see. Again this was all done on Dolmolm. As I expected with her lower EVP and MST than Cranberry her damage was lower.

anybody going to see this? it sounds really funny to me

I have a few questions about enemy parts. one is whether you can get enemy parts on normal because I know I got a gras assassin's arms on normal but is the chance greater on later difficulties? and there are a couple of quests I'm looking for.
the best for delsabers
the best for dark gunners
the best for so dimenians (episode 2)
the best for del lilies
the best for nar lilies(there's a japanese one called maximum b or something with like forty but I don't know how to access it again
the best for del rappies
the best for dark belras
the best for chaos bringers
the best for chaos sorcerors
and last but not least the best for sinow blues. maximum attack 3 seemed to have a lot but I'm wondering fi there was a better one.

if anybody else has any they're looking for they're welcome to mention them because it seems like this one thread could answer a whole lot of questions in the future for newbies.

Just thought it'd be good to make a thread for cosplays and the showing thereof

Post your cosplays here, pics etc. most welcome ^_^
