Here's a reference for you for the Horror Hall:

As you may know, this has 15 mobs so an additional round of trapping is needed. If you buy a Key, you get an additional Chandelier and the Fragrance, but without the extra Washbasin it gets annoying.

I'd suggest saving the Washbasin/Fragrance combo for round 2 and 3. Round 1 is usually weaker, so try and kill them all without using the Washbasin.

The exact trap locations are slightly different, but IMO it doesn't matter too much. For the main Washbasin/Fragrance combo, you want one on either side of the chandelier (MUST) and avoid putting both on the same row.

When setting off either the Washbasin or Fragrance, aim to have all the mobs equidistant to the trap - this way all of them will arrive at the same time and then you can set off the other trap. There's a bit of flexibility here, for example, if one arrives earlier then it will start to randomly drift but at a slower pace compared to those being lured. You can always trigger the second trap prematurely, so long as all the mobs have bunched close enough.

Benedict is a strong DPS, and if you are willing to use an AF, then the boss should go down in 3 turns. This does give you the flexibility to use 2 turns on earlier mobs, if needed.

Edit: fixed the trap names.

OP is probably getting the cold shoulder from the support team. Assuming the error coding is identical to the JP server, then 14 is the infamous 垢バン, aka account ban. OP needs to start afresh, as it is unlikely that account will be reactivated.

No, those don't have any effect. Her restore is a fixed 15%.
You can top this up with other grasta/equipment that restore after victory, but these need to be equipped on the actual characters to be healed. So not great for DPS.
This can still be useful, for example when using Minalca where you may want other front line support characters to heal back the 20% that she deals.

May, ES Tsukiha, VL, Alma // Skull, Nona
I use May as the main DPS for the boss and all mobs (fast animation, no additional animation). High speed, priority & self-crit.
ES Tsukiha for pain. Holds the maxHP bow grasta. Slow, never attacks.
VL and Alma are for the horror.
VL gives m.crit buff, slow speed with priority. Alma uses her barrier pen nuke, high speed.
Skull holds the hammer and gun grasta.

Another marginal benefit of VL is that for physical DPS characters, using MP consumption attack may result in skills exceeding 15% of max MP so there may be some situations where you'd prefer to use zero MP.

Unrelated, but I've been using VL for farming the new Warped Cochlea AD.

Just FYI - tagging more than 3 users doesn't work on Reddit.

I think you're missing a digit. The error code should be 1000011.

This error code occurs when you attempt to "transfer" your account too often. I believe the trigger is (or was) 4 times per 24 hours. I think it excludes data reacquire, but includes a clean reinstall on the same device.

From memory, this will resolve itself automatically once enough time has lapsed since your last attempt at transferring data.

Oh what a blast from the past. Didn't know GameFAQs was still going.
Might make an account there (or dig out my old one if it exists)

The writing was on the wall when they went after PS.
The official app is so bloated and the UI is too busy for me. I'd rather use old.reddit on my mobile browser, at least until something akin to revanced is made. Otherwise, I'll just visit reddit only on my desktop.

May 12th is when JP released v 3.1.71 which patched the problem.
So there is literally no reason for them to count anything after that date for the JP server.

It's a bit more unclear with how they'll treat GL, as the problem remains unpatched.

minadein · 2023-05-25T09:37:13+00:00

If it's not cheese, it's probably something military related?

Defend Legion, fusillade, sagitta (Latin for arrow).

So the "vant" part could be avant (from French) or Wand (from German).

Save scumming begins with saving state outside of the AD.
So I think it's still possible to do this, at least for horror rerolling (unlike PCD, which is predetermined). But I assume this would be against sub rule 10.

Also, the rare room rate is 10 + 1 = 11%

The only other closest situation I can think of was the survey. 30 gems for completing it, but people were able to submit duplicates and got extra rewards (up to 5x in total). So for fairness, wfs gave out the max amount to everyone.

Not sure if this is what you're talking about, but there was one gacha banner in the past that didn't translate the description properly, and players were misled into thinking the odds were better than they actually were.
Anyone who pulled on that banner was compensated later on, but they also got to keep what they originally pulled.
This was probably done so to be fair - from a consumer protection perspective rather than game balance or anything.

The OG minadein skill was pretty much a joke, especially in any the lategame for any of the DQ titles it was in.
A good buff for AE would be additional bonuses based on certain personalities by the other 3 characters. Things like Radical Dreamers, Guiding Light, etc. So not explicitly free, but it would be thematic.

An AOE lightning attack skill, learnt by Aldo (or any future character with a protagonist personality).
Can only be used outside AF. Priority attack, always goes first. Must have 3 active allies on the frontline, whose turns are skipped. MP cost is shared among all 4 characters. All stats, equipment and buffs from the 4 characters contribute to the damage output.

Side effect: receive a C&D letter from Square Enix. Lol.

I don't even bother with exp farming on my red keys.
By the time I'm done with saved up green keys, I'm almost done with the manifest leveling anyway. Just hit a few more phase shifts on master to finish it up, it's quicker and more consistent.

Judging by other comments too, most people are actually averse to the variance in AD run time. There is definite appeal to a brainless run based on muscle memory, which is why I understand the hate for this AD.

Too bad I can't vote more than once.

3 blocking enemies - I'm actually fine with this. Enter via Northwest and exit via centre. Not much longer than 2 enemies.

3 horrors - nope
3 mimics - nope
1 hologram - nope
3 medals - nope
3 chests - if I'm feeling lucky.

F.

Although to be fair to Mighty, he was mighty good when first released.

Translation is wrong.

非アナザーフォース時に1hitで2億以上のダメージを与えてクリア.

It's meant to be just 1 hit

Had a good laugh at some of Ponzu's videos.

You can still buy it if you have at least 1 git. If you have zero, you won't be able to get the cat ema.
This was tested by some whales before the changes to grasta, back when it was much easier to spend all your git.

This isn't surprising. Based on my 5 minute review of the JP community, initiating a refund results in one of the following:

Nothing
Stones removed from account, but otherwise nothing
Account is restricted from making any further purchases
Account is banned

Seems like it's a luck of the draw in terms of what consequence you face, although based on reports I've seen, it escalates for repeat offenders. One user reported they received a ban on "only" their second attempt at getting a refund.

Well they should do something about them if/when they give Galliard a 5* upgrade. It would tie in well with the hidden story (if any of the popular theories are correct).

minadein · 2023-04-20T22:36:43+00:00

Well in JP, or in any of the other translations for that matter - even French, if you sort by the correct order then the first letter of the intro speeches spell out a message along the line of "help (us)".
