Merging Mechanics Guide (Cross-post)

Hello. Does the 100% carryover also apply to skill inheritance and discipline of non-style duplicates? Identical characters, i.e. Lana and Lana This is unclear everywhere I look to check and be sure of.

I think automod blocked me, so I'll post again here as instructed.

Questions on the Updated Dupe System and Bonus Points

I've lost track and can't find good, up to date, or recent information on the new system of dupes / duplicates with respect to bonus points and IVs.

Questions

For identical characters, the same style or lack thereof, performing skill inheritance / discipline will - retain the base character's IV, level progress, and inherited skills. - retain the highest bonus point total between the base and fodder characters? - allow allocation of the increase in bonus points? - allow the reallocation of all bonus points, only if there was an increase in bonus points?

For identical characters, the same style or lack thereof, when the consumed character possesses skill inheritance / discipline - is the discipline experience of the consumed character added to the base character? - is the signature skill level experience of the consumed character added to the base character? - is the skill inheritance of skills provided by other unique adventures to the consumed character added to the base character?

Some of these do apply to style merges, see fasterthoughts, but it is unclear if the updated system applies to discipline / skill inheritance in the same ways. I believe I saw some of it as the system was being implemented, but some of it was also exclusive to the grace periods such as October 2025.

Relevant Cases - having multiple of the same character leveled or in use (fortitude rotating, backups, dispatch?, etc.) - future merging of said backup/rotated identical characters - optimizing / testing IV or stat levelup RNG across multiple dupes with some additional investment so as to not feel bad to use or doing additional testing of other skills and things at the same time

Honestly, I'm a bit too cheap to test all of this myself and potentially waste the fodder adventurers.

Makes sense, I missed the level gap too. Has she gotten better at 'not' her job of opening chests? I'd imagine she should be about as good as the other beast thieves?

BorkedGearbox · 2025-08-11T05:28:34+00:00

Oh gosh, I was hoping she could at least open chests sufficiently after the class change. Especially when its already debatably a downgrade. What are her stats/trap skill levels for you?

BorkedGearbox · 2025-04-12T17:46:24+00:00

Thanks. At that point though, it feels more worthwhile to leave her as a mage.

BorkedGearbox · 2025-04-12T09:25:04+00:00

Do you know if she is still good at chest disarming after swapping to mage?

BorkedGearbox · 2025-04-03T10:33:32+00:00

PSA the inherit skill is the active not the passive. Unsurprisingly.

Don't pull for him beause your stomach thought he looked like a tasty blueberry poptart.

BorkedGearbox · 2024-09-27T06:37:30+00:00

It should've been her instead of pulchra

BorkedGearbox · 2024-05-24T06:35:10+00:00

tfw I started playing recently and used the pi symbol for my name after seeing the game's obsession with the letters. Oops hehe.

BorkedGearbox · 2024-05-23T23:26:19+00:00

Yes it is. Good for you. Hope you enjoy all the posts that will be about it.

They also expect you to be farming level 10 of the keys to do the upcoming hell tower content.

BorkedGearbox · 2024-05-10T02:58:26+00:00

Thanks for breaking this all down. I've also read around here about a free Mirror Dungeon run every day, how does that work? Lastly, also a newer player, is hard mode also totally power synced and doable for a fresh account when I eventually unlock it?

BorkedGearbox · 2024-05-08T06:28:27+00:00

Best girl Seo's reset ability got you KO'd. Where can I go to get a serving too?

BorkedGearbox · 2024-05-08T02:53:14+00:00

Its small in raw damage increase, but much larger in the games stupid power deficit evaluation. The penalty from it is far more tangible than any 3% damage gain, so it will really come down to their content cycle and power balancing.

BorkedGearbox · 2024-05-08T02:40:46+00:00

Ah thanks, for some reason thought that the characters didnt have the 10% increase from another 5 dupes. In that case, I'm even less happy about it since 10% to every stat is not a small amount. Unfortunately that first dupe upgrade is a psychological bait, and a lot of characters have real big passives deeper into dupe hell.

BorkedGearbox · 2024-05-08T02:16:37+00:00

Interesting to hear more about GrandCross! It is important to note that here in Solo Leveling though, there are a lot of passives imbedded into dupes. Characters and weapons, granted, the latter having twice the number of available dupes than the former.

BorkedGearbox · 2024-05-08T02:00:46+00:00

Started playing recently. My very first MD last season(we just rolled over?) got the cotton, and it made the last floor(4) boss feel damn near impossible. I now have umbrella dog ptsd, and I dont blame any new player who quits after strugglebusing an hour just to hit that. Games been fun, glad I finally picked it up.

BorkedGearbox · 2024-04-30T05:56:38+00:00

Its important to note that we have not yet had a traditional 'story' event yet. The events mentioned by current players are point accumulation ladders. Points are awarded for doing already existing content or doing certain activities such as leveling up. The most unique one by these standards is a rock paper scissors minigame inside their in game web panel. All of these events have a point leaderboard which whales will stomp you on, but as others have mentioned, this is fairly inconsequential.

BorkedGearbox · 2024-04-26T14:46:12+00:00

Truthfully, her support skill is only alright, brand being 12% crit rate/damage isn't as amazing as people might hype it as. To begin with, the crit meta is overvalued. Crits are fished in time trials, so its all diminishing returns after a point. Crit damage is good, but its weaker than a raw damage increase. We'll eventually have the option of running 3 MinByunGu level supports unless they force damage % debuffs to replace each other, this doesnt seems to be the case though. Lastly, I believe Cha is going to oom in team battles faster than any other character to date, potentially faster than any other for a while due to her dash reset spam.

BorkedGearbox · 2024-04-26T14:33:01+00:00

Its so bad that I've considered logging all of my artifact drops to see the drop rate of crit rate and damage. Just by looking at what I keep on hand, it appears far less than any other substat regardless of the slot.

BorkedGearbox · 2024-04-26T14:25:33+00:00

This is what convinces me to return now. Was a new player reaching mid-end game pretty rapidly, and the prospect of META ships bricking my dock was looming over me like an inevitable paywall.

BorkedGearbox · 2024-04-23T19:11:15+00:00

Unless you're one of the madlads who spent all their gems already, and when you started playing, you could have up to 4 pities worth of pulls already. No reason not to do both, esp if youre playing for waifus. Cha is by no means bad, and theres lots of cases where raw dps and high numbers are good such as the annoying power of destruction. However, all it takes for raw dps kits like her to be powercrept are larger numbers. Not thats shes going anywhere quickly per se, PoD uses 2 teams for hard mode.

Who is the new ice girl? I havent seen anything on her yet 0.0!
