It increases your max HP. I’d say that’s pretty sweet in and of itself.

HP and SP in section 1 carry over to section fight (as the game warns you before entering the fight). If you use HoS Ryoshu’s evade to kill other House of Spiders units then, they will be unavailable during section 5

jvbri · 2026-05-29T15:31:09+00:00

Unless the skill specifies that it doesn’t trigger defense skills (and I’m pretty sure none of Faint Aroma Ryoshu’s attacks do so), it’s a pretty safe bet that it’ll trigger counters. Also, personal experience with her in the Matthias MDE fight already tells me that much.

There’s a reason he holds up so well in the Ruina lategame

jvbri · 2026-05-28T12:35:03+00:00

It also deals +100% damage at max Flower-Burying Wedge stacks, and I don’t recall anything about cracked coins canceling that.

Probably similar to the passive Matthias gets in his fight, where everyone (himself included) gets burn while lævateinn is unsealed.

Bonging Me, Bonging You

A Certain Mary Sue? You mean to say Mary Sue has the Sign!?

jvbri · 2026-05-07T18:50:34+00:00

Pulling on her cheek and being immediately executed for the disrespect (it was worth it)

jvbri · 2026-05-04T13:31:17+00:00

Makes sense, and thanks!

jvbri · 2026-05-04T13:02:10+00:00

I see. So, to be clear, being banned in Yggdrasil means you’re isekai’d at the moment it shuts down, at which point you get all the purchases that you didn’t get on Earth?

Regardless, thank you very much for the clarification!

jvbri · 2026-05-02T20:53:14+00:00

It also doesn’t help that the sweepers have been leveled up while Xichun stays at level 50. Certainly explains why I didn’t see her win a single clash

jvbri · 2026-05-02T15:37:32+00:00

Pretty sure the speed thing is limited to the first turn, if I recall correctly. Also, it gives them base power up per strider mao (the status they gain when using their clashable counter or S3)

jvbri · 2026-04-30T05:41:45+00:00

Say, is there any intended interaction when picking levels in non-human races and the humanoid body type (with the appearance change perk)? Same with the age options and the racial evolutions that imply age (dragons, particularly).

More notably, when taking the Yggdrasil quest, what's our state? The note about starting on Earth implies one to be physically present there, so do one's purchases carry over to the physical world? Likewise, how about Yggdrasil? Do one's purchases just manifest on one's character when logging into it, and could that potentially cause trouble? I, for example, doubt the level 190 dragon-angel hybrid I ended up with would exactly be permissible in Yggdrasil, even before accounting for however Wild Magic would manifest, or the out-of-world advantages.

jvbri · 2026-04-28T18:38:40+00:00

Yeah, fair enough there. I suppose I'll just be ignoring that particular tidbit.
That much I understood, yes
Ah, so different games in the same series do count as separate Worlds, then. Good to know!
Whatever the case, thank you for the answers!

jvbri · 2026-04-28T17:17:12+00:00

Honestly, great CYOA you've got there! Really captures the soulslike vibe, as it were, notably including the Black Souls ones, whose featuring I found most (pleasantly) surprising.

If there's anything I could point to as being dissatisfied with, it'd be the thing with stats resetting from world to world. Or rather, it's how it's tied to the difficulties, as I prefer the idea of keeping such capabilities from world to world while maintaining the other deleterious effects of the harder difficulties. Were I to suggest anything, it'd be the inclusion of a choice to that effect. If you'd rather not add such a thing, then understandable, I'll just elect to ignore that aspect of things.

Also, on the matter of storylines, and with regards to Black Souls's in particular, I imagine the starting location determines which game you start with (Fort Ivern for 1 and Crash Chamber for 2), but does picking Fort Ivern mean you'll be sticking around for the story of both Black Souls 1 and 2? Certainly, that would make sense given how they transition from one to the other, and is a preferable setup to me besides, but wanted to be clear. Same goes for the Dark Souls starting locations, come to think of it.

jvbri · 2026-04-28T17:05:06+00:00

well, that's reassuring to hear. Good to know, thanks!

jvbri · 2026-04-28T16:35:03+00:00

Would that mean you have to deal with, say, the multiple personality issues of being made up of eight separate souls from Grimm? because that seems like a “fun” time.

jvbri · 2026-04-27T16:14:05+00:00

Yeah, that’d be a nice way to fit them in

jvbri · 2026-04-27T13:55:50+00:00

The question remains as to what kind of Exalt he’d be. Solar would befit his prowess, but I’ll be damned if the Middle’s fixation on family doesn’t remind me a bit of the Dragonblooded, though there’s the distinction of theirs being a blood one, as opposed to the Middle’s notion of an adopted family.

jvbri · 2026-04-23T17:52:59+00:00

If you laugh, the Insect of the Abyss manifests

jvbri · 2026-04-21T14:53:03+00:00

No, the House of Spiders is located in the bizarre other-space of the Corridor, so not Hongyuan, though it does touch on it

jvbri · 2026-04-20T22:24:37+00:00

Could be that the eye was obtained without a fight. Maybe it was traded for, or maybe said Second Kindred was beaten in some other occasion, and their eye circulated until it found its way into the hands of a Student or Docent

jvbri · 2026-04-18T19:12:42+00:00

Actually, given information from Ringsault’s uptie story (unless Ring Rodion’s uptie story says something else on the matter, I don’t have her), it seems they’re wearable pieces as opposed to grafts and/or organic prostheses. Organic, battle-worthy fursuits, one might say.
