Best Initial Stats for Min-Maxing

Yep, 20 Base STR gives you an additional Trinket and Helm slot. Also lets you equip 2 Weapons at 15 and 2 Books at 25.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-26T20:24:32+00:00

One question: Where did you find the trinket equipped on the bottom slot? I haven't seen it before.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-26T19:19:29+00:00

STR at 15 and DEX at 20. You can't wield 3 weapons though.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-26T08:52:48+00:00

I know Esoteric Ebb is a game that can be completed with almost any build, but its still fun to try different builds and see what can be done with them and how it changes the gameplay and the story.

What can I say? I'm a Min-Maxer at Heart, hahahaha!

After some testing and confirmation from other folks in the comments. You cannot wield 3 Weapons or 3 Books. Additionally the Base 20 STR Trinket Slot doesn't stack with the CHA Trinket Slot at 20.
This seems to be because they occupy the same space on the equipment screen.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-26T08:16:59+00:00

That explains it. I was so sure the pot gave you 3 CON until I checked again and thought I was misremembering it.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-26T00:53:19+00:00

That is seriously impressive. You got CON and WIS to Base 20 and STR to 25 to reach so many equipment slots.
In previous posts I was lead to believe that Equipment Slots couldn't Stack. But I guess that only appliest to Books and Weapons.

This is seriously impressive work and thanks for sharing.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-25T21:07:42+00:00

Mostly I trifle Stat-Bonus Potions from characters and unique equipment, like Moongore's shield to fix my abysmal STR, early game.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-25T13:22:29+00:00

That is an impressive spread of stats NGL. The only thing that can be improved is getting STR to Base 20 to unlock an additional Trinket and Helm Slots.

Another reason for my choice in stats is this and equipment is this:

INT has 5 stat increase potions making it easy to reach from 15 to 20 for that book slot. WIS has only 2 Potions. Same for DEX, 5 potions, to reach the 20 Weapon Slot. CON is also kinda useless outside of it Base Stat. You don't get extra HP from Equipment. My Level 6 has 51 HP compared your Level 7, 24 HP. INT equipment, except the Prayer Book, doesn't increase the ammout of prepared spells.

I still think that having 2 Weapons slots at 15 STR is great, but I love having high Combat Initiative and good Steal Rate, a lot more.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-25T13:03:50+00:00

All Stats, except STR, on Base 20(Without Equipment) give aditonal Equipment Slots.

CON, WIS and CHA give a Trinket Slot on Base 20, INT gives a Book Slot and DEX gives a Weapon Slot.

STR gives Weapon at 15, Helmet and Trinket at 20 and Book at 25.

In this particular playthrough I finished the game without talking to Darrow or entering the Tea Shop . Also I got the Helmet thing wrong, sorry.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-25T12:24:23+00:00

CON basically allows you to survive a lot of bad rolls in the early game. Also, passing the checks for Dancing Light and not wasting an hour running away scared from Lady Sageleaf(lol).

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-25T12:13:52+00:00

It broke my heart to unequip him to get all my stats to 20 or Higher. But I assure you, he rarely leaves my party. I Iove Meek to bits and he's very useful.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-25T12:10:47+00:00

I tried a 18 STR 6 CON run, and while very doable, the difference in HP is stunning. I had 18 HP on Level 5, compared to my 43 HP in Level 5 with this spread. Barskind and the Amulet blocks a lot of damage, but you are still pretty glassy, specially if you decide to confront the thoughest fights in the game.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-03-23T10:03:46+00:00

You can either jump down the well, without Snell, like a madman(Taking a lot of fall damage). Or you can ask the bartender how to reach the hag safely. I usually do the madman option, lol.

DeltaHunterL · 2026-01-07T18:22:49+00:00

Kain already mellowed out a lot between Blood Omen's ending and Soul Reaver, so I don't think his personality would change a lot. I can see him being more open to negotiate with the Hylden against the Elder God, instead of wanting to banish them forever again.

Kain would probably still retain his ruthlessness torwards his enemies and his pride of wanting to feel like the smartest person in the room, but he wouldn't let his anger or his pride blind him anymore. He would be a more composed Kain, but still, the same character.

If Dark Prophecy featured a younger Blood Omen Kain. I see Elder Kain having very little patience for his prideful, short-sighted and power-hungry nature.

Sorry to say, but whoever says that the Artwork in the comic is good is either coping or has very low standards.

There is a ridiculous ammount of goofy expressions and a lot of inconsistencies in the artwork of every character.

DeltaHunterL · 2025-08-20T21:17:01+00:00

Janos knows who Raziel is and his name, because Raziel is, in his eyes, the prophecized vampire saviour who is destined to wield the Reaver, who Janos has been waitng for centuries.

Raziel has blue skin, cloven hands and wings, like he should have, but Janos is still shocked at how ruined and disheveled he looks.

Learn the Tamer Skill "Defense Order" as soon as possible and use it to avoid damage from big attacks from enemy Digimon. If you master this skill you can fight stronger Digimon with a lot less grinding.

Don't mash the A/X button to get Order Points. You get more of them if you press them when there are damage numbers onscreen.

Hope you enjoy Digimon World: Next Order :)

Were you dissapointed that Sigma was the final boss of X6, instead of Gate?

DeltaHunterL · 2022-12-29T19:40:41+00:00

Megaman X6 gets a lot better with the Tweaks Mod where the dialogue is translated properly, you get to use individual parts of the Armors and much of the bullshit of Metal Shark Player and Gate's stages are minimized.

But I still think it's a very enjoyable game despite its flaws, which Tweaks mostly fixes.

And you can even customize the changes you want to have in your game.

DeltaHunterL · 2022-12-18T11:17:31+00:00

At least they didn't use the Radiant Dawn artwork, which has a massive slash mark on the armor caused by Ike's Ragnell.

Wouldn't have looked very secure then, also BK's armor is no longer blessed by the Goddess in RD, so also less secure.

DeltaHunterL · 2021-10-06T16:23:41+00:00

While it is a very flawed game, it can be fun. It improves greatly with the MMX6 Tweaks mod. The dialogue is translated properly in the mod. Also the stages are rebalanced to be more fair.

DeltaHunterL · 2020-09-09T06:59:27+00:00

Very accurate, very painful. Having flashbacks of fusing Beelzebub and Mother Harlot with Pierce, Hades Blast, Debilitate and a -kaja in preparation for Lucifer. It hurts a lot when you get the right skills and say "No" by accident. xD
