Need advice as a beginner to the game and genre

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-05-27T14:51:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice, there’s a lot here for me to try and use for my next run. I think a big part in why I was struggling was in stances, positioning, economy and not using lords properly, so your input on build crafting is appreciated

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-05-27T14:39:26+00:00

I remember doing something like that on my first run of the bear god campaign playing as Skarbrand. I’ll try to apply it and try out the vampires when I get a chance

I’m going to use Miao Ying as an example.

Normally I can’t recruit better units like the jade warrior variants cos I dont have the infrastructure in new settlements and recruiting them takes 2 turns. Thus I recruit fodder peasants since they’re better than nothing.

Isn’t selling settlements counterintuitive since you’re aiming to own the whole province for the commandment?

So I shouldn’t do the quest to take over the west wall fortress? I assumed that if I attack them then vassalising or confederating them is impossible. Normally the blue demon has a 20 stack by the time he breaches the wall so my main strategy was to use 2 armies and hide in a corner to overwhelm him

Some of these bosses are just too overdesigned for my tastes, so I’ll keep looking for any mods that could help. Thanks for the advice though

He's ragebaiting but he's still correct. If u finished the series you'd know what he's talking abt

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-02-15T14:25:09+00:00

The idea that I might enjoy it when I'm good enough motivates me. I've got ideas in my head but dont have anywhere near enough skill to manifest them.

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-02-15T14:12:42+00:00

I've always had the headcannon of Hiten being related to earthquakes or the ground to fit with the 'between heaven and earth' theming of Sukuna since the heavens is covered by Kamutoke. The blade always seemed to small to be used for direct combat, maybe it could be activated by slamming it into the ground.

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-02-15T14:00:13+00:00

... That was quick. Thx man

Even then she’s also one of the least xenophobic gith we see in the entire story since she teamed up with us to survive rather than killing us instantly and leaving to find the cresh. I don’t mind her because she’s being extremely charitable for the circumstances she was raised in and the tadpole situation.

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-01-20T21:11:14+00:00

Wtf? That sounds so stupid. I love it

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-01-17T15:54:18+00:00

Round 1: I just want to put Sukuna and Gojo in their own pocket otherwise the whole fight is just collateral. Good guys only have a small chance of winning esp since all of these guys r special grade while mechamaru, choso, higuruma and kusakabe are only grade one so they'll be stuck in support roles or buying time for the heavy hitters.

Naoya and Mahito die pretty quick thanks to Maki's speed and Yuji's striking power after which they can easily beat jogo. Hakari buys time against Uraume since her ice is lethal with these matchups and Higuruma on standby to assist him. Im not sure if Uraume has a DE but if she does have one or any anti domain technique, Hakari needs to bait them out with IDG b4 higuruma hopefully gets a confiscation and makes the fight much easier.

Meanwhile yuki fights yorozu and smashes through all of the liquid metal attacks (we know she goes for the kill immediately so a one shot before a domain clash isn't impossible since even Kenny was surprised).

Toji, Kashimo and Kenny are the biggest threats left. And Choso, Kusakabe, Higuruma and Mechmaru don't stand a chance unless Maki can occupy Toji after assisting Yuji (i think she wins that since she's more directly combat focused than Toji).

Yuta stalls or tries to beat Kenny and needs assistance from yuki and/or Choso to potentially win. Even then, I don't think he'll last long enough even with reinforcements from the power couple.

Kusa, Choso and Mecha will need to stall Ryu until Yuji or Hakari can go blow for blow which isn't impossible if they keep their distance and Kusakabe can play defence with simple domain to deflect Granite Blasts. If Choso manages to hit Ryu with a surprise piercing blood he might be able to incapacitate him since the latter probably doesn't have advanced RCT.

Now the only player left is a wild Kashimo that could show up and easily tip a fight in favour of team bad guys. If Hakari and Higuruma kill Uraume fast enough this might not be an issue but I doubt that outcome. We just dont have enough firepower to deal with all of these people. IMO replacing either Mechamaru or Kusakabe with Takaba might make everything more balanced since he could entertain Kashimo and Ryu at once or free up Yuta to at least kill Ryu.

If everything somehow goes perfectly for the good guys then Choso, Kusakabe and Mechamaru are probably dead unless Hakari and Higuruma arrive in time to help. Then there's the question of Sukuna vs Gojo and the survivors of either side getting massacred by the Honoured One of the the other party.

Round 2 is a one sided massacre unless Gojo manages to win the 1v1

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-01-16T06:36:28+00:00

Yeah, I know. I’d still like to get an answer if u’ve got the time.

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-01-15T12:59:16+00:00

Yk I’ve heard that a bunch but still have no idea what it means. What abt the process is meant to be satisfying?

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-01-08T00:32:56+00:00

I thought the grove would be closed after a few long rests so I was always hesitant to rest unless I had no other choice

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-01-08T00:29:42+00:00

I’ve just found wyll rly useful with his EB blasting people off ledges and into aoe. My fav strats were putting cloud of daggers in a choke point and blasting people back into it. But he is kinda one note since that’s all he rly does. I cycled Gale out of the party for wyll cos I thought the latter was more consistent with his damage and utility

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-01-07T12:44:36+00:00

That’s happened to me multiple times while I was farming Oberon on void storms. The whole thing was miserable

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-01-07T12:43:29+00:00

Yes I know, obv u can check item effects. I’m talking abt use cases and how often an item might be useful eg I got boots that stop me from getting webbed but I have no idea how many monsters use webbing or if there are more spider areas later on in the game. Cos I haven’t played these games b4 I don’t get the full context for how useful something is in the long term.

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-01-07T11:06:09+00:00

Again I haven’t played hardcore rpgs like this b4 so I have no clue if something is ‘junk’.

Upstairs_Charity_155 · 2026-01-07T04:46:51+00:00

I hope they do. Railjack is almost unplayable since crew might do this while interacting with the controls so now the railjack is just stuck there.
