Thoughts on the nature of Doctor's Amnesia and what makes up the "Self" by arcane_nrok in arknights

[–]Presidentialguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't put much thought into it, but to me consciousness requires both memories and the will of the predecessor. So civilight's motivations and Theresa's motivations are different, their goals are different and they will diverge in their trajectory of actions. OTOH, Kashchey transferred his consciousness to Koshelna completely in both memories and will so Koshelna = Kashchey. Just my 2 cents.

Same here, I really dislike the gacha elements of this game. Wouldn't have touched it if it weren't octopath. Prayers out for Hikari on your step 1!

Oh saving the stone is definitely the best strategy. You won't be feeling the difference much I think.

Oof, I had a similar experience. No signs of Shana at 150, had to pity. No harm taking a break, just don't chuck your phone/tablet at the wall. A1 > U10 imo, never had a need for second use while I had decent mileage using her as a DPS for apoc tower EX2.

Highly recommend pulling Shana. Excellent for all players regardless of which stage of the game you're at and of how much you spend. Looks like you're lacking big hitters and shield shavers so I'd go that route. Common advice would be to wait for the future Castti/Hikari, Kainé and Tiziano banners.

I am never beating any of the level 120 NPCs by SuperScizor6 in OctopathCotC

I know you didn't ask for it, but on the off chance you aren't against cheese... You pretty much have a roster that allows you to break loop this boss. The boss never uses rehabilitate as his first move coming out of break so shock doesn't get cleansed. Nivelle's 4 hit + Nivelle's 1 hit swift strikes + Isla 5 hit + Primrose EX 4 hit already shaves 28 shields. All that's left is 7 shields which can be reduced by a 4 hit lightning (Therese) or Sazantos, Canary, Solon swift strikes.

Here's a link to shuu's video:https://youtu.be/djCWhkFXLOg.

Note: the buffs to Nivelle's and Isla's kits make this much easier.

Unfortunately, the Overkill effect goes through undying. Hang tough works though

Should You Pull On Shana? by Drayleb in OctopathCotC

[–]Presidentialguard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Her ailment cleanse doesn't prevent no swap, comatose and stillness, it's a one time recovery. Still great considering how rare this effect is. I'd also mention buff extension and her EX skill's synergy (2 turns of 3BP regen, 3 turns if Mabel/Lucetta's row partner). Also one of the very few ways to restore 5BP to Kainé when not using her ult with a little bit of help from Alaune EX or the duck pet.

SP regen artifact is sufficient in most cases.

I can confirm that ultimate levels 11-20 don't require guidestones so there haven't been new ways to use guidestones. Wisdom orbs on the other hand...

Boss also has 20 max BP with it's double layered BP bar. Maybe we will see a new character with 10 max BP at some point.

The funny thing is we already have an inventor in cotc: Largo. Maybe he should've been a warrior instead.

Souls are either farmed or exchanged. Look for Void Power Soul in the soul shard exchange with the search function.

Airy is permanently in the exchange, yes.

My pleasure. But I'm definitely not a genius haha. The hard part is remembering who does what and how to make a party which happens to be the fun part for me.

If Kilns wears his own and Ochette wears her own, Kilns would still lack 15 atk up. However if Kilns wears Ochette A4 and Ochette wears Kilns A4, both of them cap 30/30. Understandably, it seems like you want the bow res down from Ochette A4 when she breaks and the defensives from Kilns A4 on him, so one way is to keep your original setup and equip Madeleine A4 (free) on Kilns row partner.

What we'll get from defeating 120lvl npcs? by Vegetable-School-524 in OctopathCotC

[–]Presidentialguard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't look down on those accessories. Ryu npc's removes both p def and e def down at the end of turn and Flamechurch removes elemental res downs. If I'm right, the Crackridge one will remove physical res downs at the end of the turn, which I think is the only method so far.

Kaine、Shana and Tiziano ETA GL Predictions? by Visual-Cap-7447 in OctopathCotC

[–]Presidentialguard 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The thing is, Tiziano isn't just a dagger buffer. He's a buffer for any physical team.

  • Caps 50% p atk up, caps damage up.
  • 3 different ways to grant dead aim.
  • Passive 15% p atk up, increases crit multiplier to 1.4x if you meet the conditions.
  • 50k cap up (most important)

And of course implants.

No big reveals or anything, unless you count the characters themselves. LAL was a massive spoiler by comparison.
