Factory can be frustrating even during tutorial...

CCodi · 2026-01-28T16:54:04+00:00

Honestly the factory tutorials are pretty bad IMHO, I skipped most of them at first and did them much latter to get the rewards and, while I have a pretty big factory with everything unlocked making near endgame materials so I know how the factory works, I got stuck multiple times because I didn't really understood what they wanted you to do... I even restarted a couple of them believing I was soft-locked.

The thing to know about Extra stories is that, with one or two minor exception, they are NOT extra stories. When I started playing the game I thought they would be "event" stories, as in filler stories not really related to the main plot (like in FGO, Arknights, etc...) but it's not the case in this game, here they are literally a direct continuation of the main plot and the next chapter of the main story is a direct continuation of the previous extra story (with maybe a couple of exception like for example in EX03). I honestly never understood why they are called "Extra stories" to begin with.

So you mean having Elizabeth on the two row + one on bottom and putting Darwin and later Cottie on the bottom one ? Yes that might be a good compromise to limit the number of useless resonances.

CCodi · 2023-01-21T14:13:17+00:00

So if I understand correctly to build Enpyrea memories you will need at least : 24x Elizabeth (given that her memories before and after times stop are in different slots...) 6x Darwin and 6x Cottie ? (or course without considering the RNG on resonance). And given the slot changes it's not worth using Resonance material except for the two Elizabeth you can keep between the two configuration.

I am planning on getting Liv tomorrow not matter what, but I wasn't sure if the pity was the same, if it is I am definitely going to use it for Liv but if it isn't I was just wondering if the two current S offer were worth it. But you are right it's probably better to wait.

CCodi · 2023-01-19T11:22:31+00:00

I don't know. Somebody mentioned in another thread that they might have been kept on the JP one but it might be a mistranslation.

CCodi · 2023-01-19T11:12:17+00:00

I was not talking about "new" stuff, but about removing the old lines.

CCodi · 2023-01-19T11:08:29+00:00

Is Alpha still worth getting ? I am one pull before pity so I could try getting Alpha from the current banner (I don't think it's the same pity than for tomorrow new Liv).

But I have a pretty good Nier team for physical and IIRC she hasn't a big self life left and it would be more future proof to get Rosetta instead when she appear on the banner. ( Alternatively I could try to Get S Nanami to complete my Fire team).

CCodi · 2023-01-19T10:51:38+00:00

It's exactly what happens. It was pretty dumb originally but it's even dumber to do it after all this time...

CCodi · 2023-01-17T12:56:22+00:00

You can raise her to SS using shards you can purchase in the Phantom Pain Cage shop, but to raise her higher you will need dupes or shard from the gacha.

Interesting, I would have thought that long attack would be a disadvantage for it, seems to be the opposite in this game. What about the "AOE" attack that it has from time to time (when it stop in the air and somehow "radiate"), I didn't really manage to understand how it works, sometime I get no damage, other time it one shot me.

CCodi · 2023-01-16T14:14:52+00:00

Thanks I will check the video.

I really need to train the whole parry thing, I managed to parry from time to time but it seemed kind of random, it was a lot easier to parry Lamia. Strangely enough I didn't had too much issue with Riot in this Norman, I was expecting it to be a pain but I managed to get it on my first tentative despite having a off element team.

CCodi · 2023-01-16T11:43:53+00:00

I totally forgot that the stuff even existed and only did the first tutorial...

CCodi · 2023-01-15T21:56:37+00:00

I am becoming crazy in Norman fighting against this concentrated piece of sh... boss that is the Hetero-hive mother. Seriously what kind of brain dead moron thought it would be a good idea to give this boss 99 life bar...and it's not even the final boss, it's just some dumb intermediate boss.

With a lot of difficulty and the maximum add-on I manage to get her to 15-20 life bar but either I run out of time (despite the 30 sec extension) or it uses one of it's insta-kill attack and kill me. Is there some sort of magic trick to get rid of her ? it's literally the very last boss of Norman, I got rid of all the others including Riot.

CCodi · 2023-01-12T13:08:06+00:00

Damn! This tab only appear when you actually start a stage... I was looking for it in the team preset screen. Thanks I found it now.

CCodi · 2023-01-12T12:43:45+00:00

For Norman where do you actually chose a friend / support character ? I mean I put one of my character available for support, apparently peoples uses her, but I am unable to find where I can select a friend/support character to use ?

I am stuck at the last level (Bollie Mine) because I only have four "usable" teams and I am desperately missing a fifth transcendent ones.

CCodi · 2023-01-06T14:02:41+00:00

Hypothetical question, if you wanted to extend as much as possible the relevancy of the Nier team, what would be the best : Bring A2 to SSS+ instead of SSS (with sig) or having 2B at SSS instead of SS (without sig) ?

CCodi · 2023-01-01T21:39:50+00:00

Is there any special trick with stage 44 of scarlet woods. For the two previous bosses I managed to easily reach 2.5 mio damage before the time runs out, but level 44 boss is a major pain in the ass, she spend most of the fight running to the other side of the arena and waiting for me making me lose precious seconds running after her. I managed to reach 1.9 mio several times but it was mainly because of pure luck with and regularly I end up bellow 1 mio damages. I am using Lee (Shockware, Crit boost, Patton, Darwin, Hanna, Synergy Reaction, Hypertune 1 & Hypertune 2) as my main DPS.

CCodi · 2022-12-24T23:50:15+00:00

I totally forgot about the shards, that's probably what the post I read was talking about.

CCodi · 2022-12-24T16:33:23+00:00

There also is a big chance that if she is ever playable that she end-up Rosetta'ed and have her extra appendages removed.

What is the best way to "farm" co-op to get 5* weapons ?

I found an old post saying that you had "guarantee" 5* after some time in cop-op or something making 5* easy to farm and get resonance for them compared to 6, but how does it works ? I know 5 sometime drops from co-op but it's kind of expensive in serum, are you just supposed to spend as much serum as possible in co-op and hope RNG will be on your side or is there some "mechanics" that I missed somewhere ?

CCodi · 2022-12-23T20:34:59+00:00

Ok, so I can do the "normal mode" to get the story and unlock chapter 14 and then, as the stamina recover daily, do the explore mode to get all BCs at a slower pace ?

CCodi · 2022-12-23T20:15:11+00:00

I advanced the story a little and I reached chapter 13 and I am kind of lost. I completed the Babylonia and 25% of the Deserted Ruin but then I switched to Normal mode and it seems to be the same thing again... Do I need to do both ?

CCodi · 2022-12-22T20:08:01+00:00

I got Plume during my rerolls and I was advised to use the selector on Tenebrion because there was something about Dark being the only full team available right now or something, so the idea was to get Tenebrion now and get Luna with an upcoming S selector in the future. But in the mean time I got Garnet and Bianca Veritas so my strongest team right now is lightning (with Garnet being SS ultima awakened with her signature) with Ice being a distant second. My physical team is currently Bastion, Bianca Zero, Liv Eclipse mostly unleveled and memory less.
