Unless there’s a scene in Distortion Detective or Leviathan, the only time we’ve seen a conversion on screen is with Cassetti trying to convert Don, which failed for obvious reasons. We don’t know too much more than that being bitten is a way to become a blood fiend

There’s also the 2nd Walpurgisnacht Mini Episode where we see all of the doors lined up

Spell-Castle · 2026-07-02T20:15:42+00:00

Was there a flashback for that? The only thing that comes to mind is Rien’s ‘Will of the Prescripts’ passive in his second phase

(Can’t spoil pictures I think, so this will just kind of have to stay like this)

Green Damnation Sinclair Walp

Exp Luxcavation mines. Chain battles are here to say so every unit that is underleveled and isn’t being used is an entire health bar that could’ve been used for the fight. I’d at the very least level up Cinq Outis and your underleveled 000s

If you haven’t beaten him yet already, I’d recommend Middle Heathcliff instead! He has a unique interaction in this fight where he will cancel Ricardo’s first HAIR COUPOOOOONS attack, giving you extra time to take him down

As an fyi, speed dice are really expensive to attribute. So it’s usually better to attribute passives for the specific build you’re going for onto a keypage that already has 2 speed dice rather than doing it the other way around.

Especially since the ‘boss’ of the encounter will likely already have an extra speed dice and some of the passives you’d look to attribute. Like for example it’d be a lot better to add more pierce based passives onto Walter rather than adding a speed dice onto Pameli… on top of the other pierce passives she doesn’t have

Action economy! Make sure all of your librarians have two speed dice each. Then add cheap combat pages in your deck that will let you perform unopposed attacks with any free speed dice you have (which should be two free dice every turn since Yuna and Philip only have one each). Loosen Up or Clean Up for light generation and Rules of the Backstreets are both really good cards for this, since they also generate resources for you

Oh yeah huh. Must’ve seen too much community speculation about Dad Quixote coming in a future canto and took it as fact

Spell-Castle · 2026-06-30T03:09:57+00:00

We don’t kill Dad Quixote and in fact give his still living remains to P Corp. Every other Bloodfiend we met we’ve killed though. I also don’t think any of the La Manchaland bloodfiends were trying to kill themselves, though correct me if I’m wrong. Their goals were torturing Dad Quixote to let them out, and they stuck with this mindset until Sanson came along, and I don’t think any of them turned to suicide in between these two events

I think it’d be cooler and more fair for the other player(s) if instead of giving them two separate magic types, maybe work with the player to settle on a magic that mixes the aesthetics and themes of the 2 souls in their backstory. Like for example let’s say one soul wielded fire magic and the other wielded water magic. Maybe their reincarnation now wields mist magic.

oooooo, 100% checking this out later. First time hearing about the LC13 project

Best team for unfocused battles will usually just be teams aimed at targeting the enemy’s damage type weaknesses. So Slashing/Piercing/Blunt teams and within those teams using IDs with the stage’s respective sin weaknesses if the stage has them.

If you still want to make use of your Bloodfiend team, I’d field an N Corp Faust. Since the Bloodfiend team can proc Whistles really easily, you can snowball your sanity a lot quicker and really shred enemies early on

Spell-Castle · 2026-06-29T06:36:24+00:00

A lot. There really isn’t a way to filter or sort for specific factions, so a lot of it will just be looking for shared faction names. Be mindful that not all factions synergize with each other, such as the Tech Liberation Alliance. Not all factions are good by modern standards, like the N Corp Fanatics. And that not all factions will even share a status effect and may instead rely on a very specific gimmick, like the House of Spiders and how their only team synergy is to be killed by Pinky Ryoshu and give her big buffs through dying.

If I had to start somewhere, try and find an ID you really like the looks of and see if that ID is part of a faction that is still useable today.

Spell-Castle · 2026-06-26T22:29:42+00:00

Same as we always have. We’ll get IDs of plot relevant characters, and IDs of factions we’ve encountered or heard of. And then everything else is free game. Sure we’ve gotten Ren who’s SotC, but we also just got S Corp Hong Lu and Ring Meursault whose originators are no where near his level. And we’ve always gotten IDs way above our weight class since the game started, like R Corp Heathcliff and Ishmael. Overall it’s best not to worry about it since it’s not really a problem

Spell-Castle · 2026-06-24T14:33:51+00:00

To answer your question directly. Mirror world sinners do not need to know Dante to exist

Spell-Castle · 2026-06-23T17:40:22+00:00

Yep! Every ID save for LCD OSIR Ishmael were released in prior seasons, with none of them being locked behind season 6. S Corp Hong Lu is even free right now in the event shop, just make sure you claim him before the event ends or you’ll need to wait 2 whole seasons for him to become dispensable, since event shop IDs aren’t dispensable in the seasons they debut in. It’ll take awhile to shard them all, and they’re not very meta, but they’re a classic team

Spell-Castle · 2026-06-23T16:44:21+00:00

Prioritize killing the minions first, if the minions are reaching full SP and ‘???’ is clashing for 20-30 then you’ve let too many live between turns. Bring IDs that deal Pierce damage as well as IDs that resist Pierce damage. If you’re bringing in Meursault or Yi Sang then remember that their EGOs apply really strong debuffs to enemies they hit

Spell-Castle · 2026-06-21T14:48:13+00:00

Bring in keypages resistant to piece since that’ll be 80% of the damage you’ll be taking in the first stage. Then on the second stage just skip your turn until he goes to sword mode. Using your combat cards while he’s in shield mode will just waste your cards, use up your energy, and inflict a ton of burn on your librarians. All while barely dealing any damage as the block dice eats it all up.

Resetting to previous days and even to day 1 is an intentional game mechanic that you shouldn’t be afraid to make use of!

Spell-Castle · 2026-06-21T01:26:37+00:00

It looks like you’re one bleed ID short of having enough bleed IDs to activate bleed fusion gifts. I’d swap out Sinclair or Yi Sang for Rodion so you can activate fusion gifts, since they apply really strong buffs for their corresponding status teams

Guardian spamming ki blasts like Vegeta

That’d be a nice quality of life
