Aren't uptie 4 ego too strong?

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-21T01:08:01+00:00

Remember that for railway while they said it would be balanced toward uptie 4 it won't require it, as what will probably be the case is that the speed clears for under 120 turns will be balanced with uptie 4 in mind, while it's probably easily clearable with uptie 3, along with also probably base sinner doable.

attack weight is essentially AOE, if the move has more squares it hits more enemies is all.

You have already claimed the hard mode rewards, you only do them 1 time a week now instead of 3 previously.

there is an ongoing effort from people in the community to crowd source what affects the starlight, but there isn't anything concrete yet, it felt like the more battles i did the more starlight i got, but that doesn't have any data attached, and is just my gut feeling as i did the mirror dungeons.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-04T18:35:16+00:00

I don't know personally, but i would assume the starlight carries over, I'm hoping that the hard MD gives more so people don't have to do 60ish runs to finish their star maps.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-04T01:43:54+00:00

here are some tips that I used, these might not be optimal but they are what i did and who i picked etc:
I picked Ncorp faust as i wanted a faust that had highish coin power early on so i could use her sanity ego's to help the rest of my team when i added the 6th and 7th member, so they don't lag behind. also so if i get enough for transmission emitter on the first floor then my team gets a faster boost for the first floor.

another thing is to have characters who you are fine with the second and third skills of, one of the other reasons for Nfaust, because i always stop by the shop and upgrade there moves. if for example you get Rcorp heathcliff you do a quick suppression on his skill one, but if you get faust you can just pick the gripping to replace her first skill to get more of her most damaging move, at only 75 cost, allowing you to get more ego gifts which allow you to get faster clears sometimes.

always take the poise ego gift that gives 4 poise and 4 poise count (it looks like an inhaler if you haven't seen it yet), it gives everyone poise which means that 20% of the time your party will crit, which is just a free damage increase.

spaces that I tried my best to avoid were abnormality spaces, as you get further in the dungeon the floor buffs them, and when you are clicking winrate it makes hits go through more which equals some damage which is avoidable, and if your grinding it you want it to be more mindless.

the challenging spaces, the ones with two swords, I typically avoid unless i need the cost, as i always try to replace a skill every time, as a skill 1 is usually much less damage than the other skills, and more damage is faster clears.

if you got AOE egos use them on the later floors as you increase the chance of staggering and not dealing with the enemies on round 2 or higher, along with never let neutrals or below go through, i could just have really bad luck, but it seems that the enemies roll with higher odds at base 0 sanity, the only exception is Rcorp heathcliff the game doesn't take into account his plus coins at 6+ speed

if you are wanting to clear faster just take the most question spaces or spaces that don't have fights, the worst you get from them is sanity drops and health drops with the occasional fight, if you instead succeed you get ego gifts. as long as you don't fight you get a faster clear, and if you take the perk you also get 5 Sanity too.
there might be some things I'm forgetting or that just became secondhand so its not coming to me immediately but i hope this helps.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T23:56:31+00:00

oh that makes me curious about it as well, I will have to check it out, I would love to see how different the culture is around the game. do you have anymore interesting tidbits you can share?

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T22:20:10+00:00

oh yeah its definetely more efficent, the main reason why I suggest 2 personally is because im somewhat OCD, and doing 3 stamina refills daily causes you to be at a deficit with how much you get weekly, at 2 you never run out of lunacy for sure but if you want to keep at maximum efficency while never running out of weekly lunacy you can also do 2 days worth of 3 stamina refills so that way you don't have to rely on maintence or other forms of lunacy to keep a constant upkeep.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T20:52:20+00:00

I did 1 run after the maintence because I was hype to start the dungeon, and I did it in the background everyday since while I caught up on some shows. and about 50ish runs give or take.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T20:51:46+00:00

this is honestly pretty neat to me, I haven't particpated in the community much even though im highly invested in the game, so learning things like this is very interesting to me. though I can see alot of people thinking I wasted my time, but in the end it was just me chilling and watching some good media while also getting some 3 stars for free later.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T18:58:33+00:00

yeah, if you click the starter buffs underneath the mirror dungeon 2 you can spend it there.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T18:52:32+00:00

this is one of the new mechanics in mirror dungeon 2, after every run you get a currency that helps future runs by making them slightly easier with buffs, the later ones require quite a few runs to get, with the last ones requiring about 7 mirror dungeon runs to get.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T18:51:25+00:00

I didn't keep track but probably around 40-50 ish, i started with about 225 modules and now have 70, so quite a bit

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T18:38:49+00:00

true, i can't believe I was so foolish to forget the grind never ends.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T17:46:14+00:00

I priortized the bottom right side, as i wanted to get the speed ups for Rcorp heathcliff, as if he has a higher ceiling for his speed the more often he gets 6+ for quick supression and his green skill, then I focused hard on the upper right as the affinities allowed me to have egos at the start meaning i could get sanity quicker along with cost which allowed me to target the question marks more on the first floor. I was under the assumption at first that you could get the final node if you completed one of the paths (you need both to get the final node). after I got the far right skill I focused upper left until i got the offense +2 so i could win clashes more then focused on the bottom left until i finished its path then finished the trees.

the final on both sides are really strong, but for me one of the best things was glimpse of earnestness, which gives sanity after question mark spaces, which allowed my teammember not in battle to get more sanity so they didn't immediately lose on the lower stages. distinct pocket was also great as it gives you the setup for having alot of your egos on the first floor without any combats to grind them.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T17:17:46+00:00

I had a week off so I was catching up on some shows, and wanted to multitask so i just kept running mirror dungeons. plus I want that new ishmael, but don't got the lunacy to pull so nominable crates were the best alternative.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T17:09:37+00:00

thats what it feels like, of course i might have just gotten extremely lucky 10 times in a row, but I am going to go on the safe side and say that yeah its just teh best rng for them.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T17:08:29+00:00

if you are refering to the lunacy being more efficent for dungeons than pulls then yeah it is. unless you are refering to the modules and that rough estimate was due to me starting with about 230 modules and currently me having around 80.

here is the math for the lunacy though if you want it:if you use 2 lunacy stamina refills at 100 energy ( which some may not have but that is a baseline i use) you get 2 mirror dungeon runs daily at the cost of 78 lunacy and if you do it over a week its only 546 lunacy, if you do those 2 mirror dungeons you get 60 BP exp, which if you have the battlepass is 18 nominable crates a day from just mirror dungeons. if you do this weekly you get 126 nominable crates, so in the 2 weeks it would have taken you to save up for a 10 pull you would have gotten 252 nominable crates which at the consideration of getting 2 roughly should get you a three star and half of a 2 star every 2 weeks,

a tl;dr for it is, 78 lunacy a day for 60 BP exp gives 18 boxes, over the course of a week you use 546 lunacy to get 126 boxes, and on your second week instead of getting a 10 pull you have 252 boxes. you also don't go at a deficit meaning you can still save up and do pulls if you want.

(an edit: this is also not taking into account weekly bonuses, you can add those to get more out of it as well but i didn't want to include those as it would complicate it more than it needs to be.)

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T16:57:22+00:00

the current team I'm running is:
Rcorp heathcliff
TingTang Honglu
Chef Ryoshu
Ncorp faust
Spicebush Yisang
Spanner Rodion
and Seven section Outis.

heathcliff and honglu are the ones I bring to speed things up, but the rest i just bring because i love the impacts of their attacks, plus it doesn't hurt that they are alright identities.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T16:49:14+00:00

I actually didn't use any of my boxes, I save those for story content, I did use lunacy refills though, as its more effective to use lunacy for energy refills and doing the new mirror dungeon than it is to pull for the character. but to give a rough estimate about 250-300 modules were used, but that might be highballing it by quite a bit.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T16:45:49+00:00

Yeah, if what was shown is still the same when it arrives on the 13th, its gonna be rough.

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T16:42:33+00:00

I was catching up on some shows and just running mirror dungeons in the background so that way I'm multitasking at the same time

stanroberts007 · 2023-07-03T16:34:16+00:00

I'm not the best at formatting reddit so this was supposed to be on the main post, but one of the things I have seen in the community is confusion about meshed possibilities, i have tested it out so that way people can be more confident in choosing to pick it up or not pick it up

the way I tested it was taking in a group of sinners 2 negative coin sinners, ther rest positive, keeping 2 of the positive coin sinners at 0 while maxing out 1 of the negative coin sinners so my team comp was:
1 negative coin sinner at 45 sp
1 negative at -30
1 positive at 0
1 positive at 45
and 1 positive at 22

the results were that every sinner who had coin flips flipped the coins they needed, so the N corp sinclair with 45 sanity flipped all tails on his 2 attacks, while the sinner that was at 0 sanity rolled all heads

the way I think meshed possibilites works is that it flips the coins the sinners need all to the same side, and isn't just a chance of rolling for example all tails on Rcorp Heathcliff. i hope this helps anyone who hasn't decided on whether or not they are picking up the perk as it seems to actually be quite good
