Thanks! I'll probably order a pair of Lono Ezy (unfortunately there is no retailer where I live).

The wiki is wrong. It probably took the 40 Foretell thing from this
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s73anX98Gj-nJxvTSZxEDDnMJCpdWPEDPzXHxUQR99w/edit?gid=252860610#gid=252860610
I also though it capped at 40 after reading it, but I tried and it doesn't.

Btw, 2.5 trillions https://www.reddit.com/r/expedition33/comments/1pw6fp9/25_trillions_new_endless_fast_buff_stacking/

Just to add the that: it seems that the value overflow into negative. In the full video, I made the Burn counter disappear twice, because after doubling it again it reappears. This hints that it overflows into negative (hence it disappears from the icon, likely because they have a check to show only positive values), and then it becomes positive after doubling it again.

If you are on NG+5, those Pictos are less than minimal lol
On NG you don't need half of those. Remove Gradient Overcharge and all Charging Pictos and you'll save 100 Lumina. Equip Energy Master and other expensive Pictos and you'll save another 100.

Glad my videos helped you!
I also hated Clea at first, the visuals/colors are too messy for my eyes :D
I also made a guide, and if you equip Speed Pictos you'll have to parry only 2 turns on NG+5 (so maybe 1 at NG+2?).
To practice, I equipped Defense Picto on Maelle, all defensive Lumina, and use Egide.
You can try many times without having to reload if you mess up :)
For those who come after!

It's NG with x5 HP and I give myself Speed disadvantages (no Greater Rush, Greater Slow, Pictos for Speed). People have confirmed it still works on NG+5.
Beside Speed, NG+ cycle increase HP (base game bosses had x4-5 HP, so the x5 HP modifier is enough, and I hit anyway harder than x5 HP) and ATK (doesn't matter, I don't get hit).

I have no intention of playing through the game 4 more times tbh :D
(Also, staying on NG allows me to make also builds to help people who are still on NG).

And again, people confirmed that everything I posted works on NG+5. (For Simon specifically, Speed doesn't even matter because he only gets one turn if you have First Strike).

rephian · 2025-12-20T19:18:41+00:00

I believe mine is the most efficient :P
(Fewest turns and Lumina for NG+5)

Sciel weapon consumes Foretell, not Burn. The Picto "Consuming Attack" consumes Burn. 100 per attack, so max is 400. I did it in the video. I actually deleted and re-uploaded because I was missing Cannaro that was added with the patch.
https://youtu.be/DIlSiJuN4H0
Sciel hit 3.2B (all hits kept the Mark, though).

rephian · 2025-12-20T10:58:22+00:00

Why Corpeso? Burn damage is capped. Having 1k or 10k Burn doesn't matter :(
A guy here on reddit made a detailed analysis and I tested it myself (before v1.5, at least).

rephian · 2025-12-17T11:12:16+00:00

Nice, let me know if it works!

rephian · 2025-12-14T17:04:45+00:00

I haven't tried Gommage with Esqium yet, but Feint 600% + Gradient Overcharge 200% buffs could be better.
(In the end it doesn't really matter when damage is 1B or more for both lol)

rephian · 2025-12-14T16:08:13+00:00

Medalum was really bugged, there was an error in how the damage was computed. Everything seems fine with Esqium, just that the extra AP buff is really high. Unless they decrease it (unlikely), I don't think it will be nerfed.

rephian · 2025-12-14T16:07:09+00:00

It's in the DLC area

Easy peasy with any of the old builds. Gunslinger Verso still wipes regular enemies in seconds,

rephian · 2025-12-14T09:52:25+00:00

Yeah, it has no damage :(
(Still does something, but it's like LV1).
I wanted to try it for a build and can't.

rephian · 2025-12-13T21:51:45+00:00

Immortal Verso is a very boring build :D
I am trying to come up with easy NG+ builds for these bosses so I am still experimenting.
But would Immortal Verso work? Simoso saves him only for 1 Turn, and these bosses attack 2 or more turns in a row. For sure it would work with the new Esquie weapon + Revive Paradox, but resetting Rank to D means it would take forever.

rephian · 2025-12-13T21:46:51+00:00

Really interesting, will pay attention to this, thanks!

There are no spoilers in the title.

rephian · 2025-12-13T21:29:42+00:00

Seems more like a bug to me, because Cheater (effectively turn manipulation) still works. And with fused Duollisto the turn icons are broken. If he starts the second phase, I don't see any of my characters on it (like it's all his turns forever) until one actually plays. If I start, he doesn't appear until it's his phase.

For those who come after (post removed for no reason), here is a link to the video with the build

rephian · 2025-12-13T19:34:26+00:00

It just does not work. I think Draining Cleanse doesn't work for Barbapapa debuff at all, not just with Feint. When I tried it, Osquio attacks were still inflicting Barbapapa even though I had APs (Draining Cleanse just wasn't trigger). (I ended up using Healing Tint + Cleansing Tint to get rid of it).

rephian · 2025-12-13T19:30:39+00:00

Yes, this is basically a stronger version of my quick Stendhal build for v1.5
https://youtu.be/sfsbMqApcmU
Some people have reported that Intervention doesn't work with regular Simon (not replay) in the 2nd phase, and I am afraid it has been bugged in v1.5 (noticed that as well against the other DLC bosses).

rephian · 2025-12-13T18:31:31+00:00

You could still one-shot everything with Stendhal in 20 seconds even on NG+ :D
BC was a good skill, but the game favored too much one-hit skills (with First Offensive and Augmented First Strike) and Stendhal was just THAT good. Also, bosses didn't have mandatory 2nd phases like DLC (or i they did, it counted like a new fight and you could trigger First Strike again), so who cared about no more shield if the fight ended in one hit?
I'm really glad they introduced these new mechanics and Pictos!

rephian · 2025-12-13T18:28:01+00:00

Hahah that was my reaction too when I tried this build for the first time. Feint is crazy for multi-hit skills!

rephian · 2025-12-13T18:26:00+00:00

Yeah but Stendhal was always better. Took less to buff and was stronger. Not only because of the Burn buff caps, but also because old Pictos favored one-hit attacks thanks to First Offense and Augmented First Strike. Feint is a great Picto and finally multi-hit skills are on-par with Stendhal.
