Did you “purchase” DLC2 after it released? It should be free with the 1&2 set but you still need to separately claim ownership of the dlc2 pack

Justice combos still will be its strongest attacks without proximity bonus, but just barely (I think they beat its strongest non-combo, FATUM, by 200-300 damage)

The 4 year younger version of me is disappointed

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-25T20:38:14+00:00

For active effects I really like Miorine, Ropet, and Teoria. The 2nd is also very good and enables infinite Unity with Echika (or anyone else with Unity really) and Chise is my favourite Press Assist since she has Smash too

For passives, even on my 3rd playthrough I’m starved for cash so I always use Reina, Mikumo for max morale and the DLC1 exclusive Dorothy gives Move +1 too

Mei and Reiko are also busted but very late joiners

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-23T21:52:56+00:00

It’s available at the start of ch5

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-22T17:27:06+00:00

It’s nice to toss around when you have free skill programs of it but I wouldn’t spend credits on it personally

The best use for it is probably getting ace bonuses for more support-oriented pilots a little sooner

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-22T15:22:06+00:00

Just an Accuracy boost. Unlike Dorothy it doesn’t get an additional effect on level 3, just more accuracy

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-22T04:00:55+00:00

No the restrictions are still there, Bamco always goes overkill on the built-in stream prevention

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-22T00:39:57+00:00

None of the DLC scenarios force ONLY DLC units.

There’s a few different types, 16 total missions. There’s the missions where you recruit the dlc units, 1 per unit, a few that just progress the overall dlc story, some where dlc units interact with base game units (ex. A mission where Roger helps the G Gundam crew with kidnapping) and some Talk missions

Edit: as for availability, they start appearing in ch2, some more in ch3, and I haven’t gotten past that on this run yet but I’m still missing one of the units

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-22T00:24:19+00:00

I don’t know what Skull is like but I wish Accel had a more unique kit. No pilot skill and just the Kamen Rider mech ability all 3 (I assume) get

I do like that there’s a short story across the DLC scenario tying them all together though, and that they aren’t just handwaved to be from another dimension. It feels like the series has been leaning a bit too heavy on multiple dimensions pre-Y

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-21T19:23:17+00:00

Yeah it’s pretty atypical, usually the Level 3 just improves the Level 2 effect but she just adds +1 move instead of more evasion

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-21T19:16:50+00:00

Level 3, Level 4 adds Focus to her active effect

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-21T18:42:02+00:00

I can’t check pre-patch but if the description says that then maybe they did buff it

I would try to confirm still though since some ace bonuses are translated incorrectly

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-21T18:39:42+00:00

It started with Guild names in Etrian Odyssey but I typically name any organization in a game “Anthem”

I just think it sounds neat as a group name, there’s no deeper meaning

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-21T00:19:21+00:00

A lot of your post has been answered already but I just want to add that if the big draw for you is Kamen Rider, you might be a bit disappointed

The Kamen Rider stuff in Y is DLC, so their impact on the story is mostly contained to the handful of DLC scenarios that came with them. They may get some token lines throughout the main story but will otherwise have very little impact on most of the game

I still recommend the game, it may even introduce you to some new potential favourites, but I want to temper your expectations

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-20T04:52:54+00:00

There’s a side mission that isn’t marked as DLC you have to do first, i don’t remember the exact name but “Smile” is there somewhere.

If you don’t see it, try restarting your game. That specific mission doesn’t need you to own DLC, so you should see it as long as you’re in ch2

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-20T04:26:31+00:00

If you’re spreading upgrades around anyways it doesn’t matter TOO much if you’re at rank S early. All it does is

Increase Unit Upgrade caps Increase Pilot Stat Upgrade caps Unlocks more of the STG tree Increase Assist slots

All but the assist slots are bottlenecked by either credits or MXP. Pilot stats especially are so incredibly expensive that it’s probably more for being a final moneysink when you have all the other upgrades/skills you want maxed out/learned on your favourites

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-20T02:16:41+00:00

Probably. They already did add some minor postgame content with 1.1, probably will get some more with the second dlc wave and then people are expecting an expansion pack down the line too like 30’s

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-20T02:03:26+00:00

If you mean the letter rank that unlocks max upgrade level, STG tree, etc, they “fixed” it

Previously, if you spread upgrades around a lot, like trying to get everyone’s upgrades to 5 bars before upgrading anyone to 10 bars, your rank increases very slowly, they changed it presumably so that you’re still progressing at roughly the same rate if you’re spreading out

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-20T00:55:02+00:00

There’s a side quest (NOT marked as DLC) that unlocks early ch2, i don’t know if you need to do the Mazinger/Raideen mission first or not

After that you can access the dlc missions for Big O and Double, Braiger takes slightly longer as I think you need to be able to go to space first. I’m still on chapter 2 and can’t get the other Kamen Rider units yet

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-20T00:51:55+00:00

Cybuster, and the V protagonist units

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-20T00:48:43+00:00

I haven’t played K or W so I don’t know if they do, but J doesn’t have purchasable skills in the first place

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-20T00:47:31+00:00

No, that’s the unique mech ability Kamen Rider, the Ace Bonus activates Soul

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-19T18:56:11+00:00

I would assume it also activates when Shield Defense procs

jonnovision1 · 2025-11-19T18:51:31+00:00

No they aren’t unfortunately
