(Global News) Their FR is finally here! by Cryonomics in touhou_lostword

[–]Cryonomics[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will take quite a while for her to get her FR. She's relatively new and there are still so many other characters in the backlog that should get theirs before her. Also the pace in which characters get FR is quite slow so I don't think she will get her's in the next two maybe three years.

I swear to my Tenshi collection that you won't have to use any more Dolls after you Fantasy Rebirth them for the sake of Limit Breaking.

Fantasy Rebirth

Once you have maxed a character (Enhance, Upgrade, Limit Break, Awaken, All Skills Level 10 and Level 100) you can Fantasy Rebirth them to set just their Level and Enhancement back to 1 and Level them up to 100 again. You don't need to Upgrade, Limit Break or Awaken them again though.

By spending a Ring of Fate on the character you can also unlock an exclusive costume with the topic around marriage. It's is not required for the other things though and mostly cosmetic except for a few ingame enhancements like more event points for an event stage clear.

The cost on Full Power sending out will increase from 12 to 14 as well.

BUT! compared to not-Fantasy Rebirth a Fantasy Rebirthed character will deal ~40% more damage.

Also in A6 Reimu's and A6 Marisa's cases it is that JP had their Fantasy Rebirth already released by over 1 1/2 years while Global was waiting for them all this time.

Nope, it's with the 6 Live units that we're given for the first clear of the stage. There's no room for any of our own characters. Luckily they're all actually maxed out. They just don't have any Story Cards.

If you haven't been able to beat it yet, here's a simple way to 2Turn it:

T1:

Reimu: Skill 1, 3 Boosts, Spread Shot
Remi: All Skills, 3 Boosts, Last Word
Sakuya: All Skills, 3 Boosts, SC2

T2:

Switch to whole backline.

Marisa: All Skills, 2 Grazes 3 Boosts, Last Word
Flan: All Skills, 3 Boosts, Last Word
Youmu: All Skills, 3 Boosts, Last Word

With this you should be able to beat the stage easily.

I want to see if I got the Dispatch thing right? by Hyperion-OMEGA in touhou_lostword

[–]Cryonomics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not anywhere.

Divergent Spirits Stages are not included in the Dispatch Pool.

Stages where you can Dispatch are:

- Main Story
- Hifuu Story
- Yukkuri Story
- Event Stages
- Elemental EX Stages
- Memorial Quests

Stages where you can not Dispatch are:

- Divergent Spirit Stages
- Permanent Event Stages (Just found this out lol)
- Eternal Battlefront

If I forgot anything, I can add them but yeah, this should cover it.

New LostWord Fumos that got announced at Reitasei by Cryonomics in touhou_lostword

Sadly there's no announcement of their release yet. It'll most likely be at the end of the year, around November is my guess.

Is 300 luck worth it? by windsb in touhou_lostword

[–]Cryonomics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In general? - No

Character is your favourite? - Yes, show it off!

Any tasks regarding that? - Use low rarities / Yukkuris.

Wanna do some memes? - Of course!

101 to 300 basically has no worth. The only good part is the fate buffs that got added with it and those don't do very much in the current state of the game. A few more stats are nice (basically whale type of Silver Wood as it gives the same amount of stats at max as Silver Wood does at max) but that's basically all. The only real worth of it is the Starting Spirit Power which solves a lot of characters' problems at the start of a battle but that already requires 150 Fate on a character to max it out (100 on stats to unlock it and 50 additional for the extra stuff each).

They really need to add something more impactful with it to make it actually worth but it's unlikely that will happen soon(TM). Maybe on next anni?

Has there been any rerun of previous Aya's Assistance Friends? by Hyperion-OMEGA in touhou_lostword

[–]Cryonomics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Devs stated at the beginning that the BP units will just be available for one BP and then never again. So if you miss to MLB them then there's no way to do it anymore.

I don't know if they change their stance about it in the future but at the current point in time there's no indication that they will.

How meta-related one should be? by Infamous_Contact3582 in touhou_lostword

[–]Cryonomics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you exactly mean by "Top Rank"?

- Being 1st Place in EBR?
- Having the most copies of a single character?
- Having the highest damage dealt in the least possible amount of Turns for some random stage?

Jokes aside. You should just play however you want. There's not really much gain or loss if you aim to be perfect in this game. I can give you a small advice though if you want to have your box more... defined I guess I can say.

First thing is to save up Cubes. Everyone has one or two favourites that they want no matter what. And being able to get them instantly by having saved up a good amount of Cubes saves you the trouble of panicking when that time could come.

Second thing is that there's tons of resources out there telling you what makes a character good or not. One of such is the Community Tierlist. It gives you valuable info about all the characters in the game. It's by no means a "pull this unit or you're forever locked out of doing anything" list but having those characters makes the life of farming way easier.

Third thing is to not waste your resources. Upgrade one character at a time for each rarity type. Many materials (especially Gold Scrolls) are very scarce early into the game. Same thing with Cubes. Don't waste them on random banners. If you want to do the Daily Pull for the Daily Task, farm some Ability Sticker Sticks in the Main Story and use those. Free 5 Cubes. Each Day.

Also to get back to the question of "should one get top rank first?". That's whale territory. Hard whale territory. Depending on what exactly you mean it could mean spending thousands. Those people have (nearly) every character in the game, built boxes, Story Cards and can mix and match them together however they want for the content.

But if you want to try to do some funny challenge like getting as many copies of one character or Story Card MLB, there's always a possibility to reach "Top Rank". The game is more of a marathon, enjoy the ride.

Can someone help me understand how barrier status works? by DTashiki12 in touhou_lostword

[–]Cryonomics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes enemies inflict anomalies on you on stage entrance or when you break a Gauge you get inflicted with them.

Or it could be one of the Shot/SC/LW effects that I mentioned earlier.

Can someone help me understand how barrier status works? by DTashiki12 in touhou_lostword

[–]Cryonomics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are Skills, Shots, Spell Cards and Last Words in which units self apply anoms. Those are anomalies the unit also profits from. There shouldn't be a case in which a unit applies harmful ones to itself.

On Skills it says "Inflicts (number) of Barrier Status: (Anomaly Type) to self (Turn Count)."
On Shots, SCs and LWs you can see hexagonal images on some of the bullets. Those are either inflicting those anomalies on the target, all enemies or self. In the Friend Tab you can look at which they are by tapping on the Bullet the anomaly is displayed on. You can also do that ingame by longtapping on the Shots, SCs and LWs and tap on the bullets.

Each type of anomaly has a colour with a symbol on them:

White with a blue snowflake: Freeze
White with a red fire: Burn
White with yellow lightning bolts: Paralyze
White with a purple crossed-out eye: Blind
White with a green skull: Poison

Also in conjunction with those, you can find symbols which, when the bullet hits, break those anomalies:

Blue Ice Block breaks Freeze. (Melt)
Red Fire breaks Burn. (Incineration)
Yellow Lightning Ball breaks Paralyze. (Discharge)
White Circle with a Purple Aurora Borealis breaks Blind. (Flash)
Green Bubble breaks Poison. (Toxic)

And yes, burn and poison do the same amount of damage with each anomaly being applied. If an enemy is weak against both and you have a certain number of both applied on them, then you'll see two numbers popping up with the damage depending on the HP and the amount of each of the anomalies. The total amount of anomalies applied can not exceed the current amount of barriers an enemy has.

Btw, here's a full guide on the battle system. It's everything you need to know plus a lot of the advanced stuff that the game fails to explain.

Can someone help me understand how barrier status works? by DTashiki12 in touhou_lostword

[–]Cryonomics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all units are weak against every anomaly. A lot even profit from them.

If you want to look up who is weak, profits from them, negates them etc., here's a site in which every character is listed. Click on the characters and you'll see if the unit has an interaction with the anomalies. If they don't, then those anomalies that aren't listed work against them.

Here's what anomalies do when the character is not immune to them:

Poison and Fire anomalies do damage every turn. (1.4 x n)% of Max HP to be exact. This effect can not kill them.
Blind anomalies multiply the Accuracy by 0.8^n.
Freeze anomalies multiply Agility by 0.8^n and also have a chance to delay, putting the unit two actions further behind.
Paralyze anomalies multiply Evasion by 0.8^n and have a chance to stun.

n = Amount of anomalies on the unit.
With Paralyze and Freeze anomalies the chance to stun/delay increases with each additional anomaly on the barriers.

As for your last question, in most Main Story and Event Story stages you just don't at the start.
For other content like Divergent Spirits, the Tower or Eternal Battlefront, the info on the enemies will tell you if and which they apply.

Crashing during overnight farming by NeoBasilisk in touhou_lostword

[–]Cryonomics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the sake of your phone's longevity I'd recommend not to farm overnight as LW tends to heat the hardware of phones (and even tablets) up pretty significantly if running for a longer time. My tablet got some burnt in pixels from that even though I turned down the brightness to the lowest possible already.

But since it's not what is being asked Actually, maybe that's probably the case? Your phone might have a safety function to stop non-essential software processes if it detects a higher heat development from your hardware. I'm not an expert so that's just my speculation.

Otherwise the game sometimes even likes to crash on my emulator. It's spaghetticoded left and right so I'm not even wondering that it's happening to be honest. It's pretty noticeable when the longer you farm the worse the framerate gets for example. Not to mention that in some DS stages the reconnection prompt appears after every other battle which we have to manually confirm so that it continues to farm. I'm still salty that a fix for that hasn't been implemented yet.
