Crikey that bitch is broken. Which makes sense, but hot damn. Time to always use her when I'm farming for stuff. Thanks a ton, man.
Adam Perry
>-All damage dealt by Rex will be considered as hitting the weakness of the enemies. What exactly does this mean when paired with Adenine's Battle Wisdom?
Nolan Robinson
What's the exact number again on adenine?
Jackson Sanchez
This is Homura, Rex's true and canon love. Say something nice to her!
Leo Sullivan
>In chapter 8, you can call Awakened Homura with either Homura or Hikari, and this choice is reflected in the cutscenes. In term of combat abilities, there is no difference. You can call Homura a Homura. Nice.
Hunter Foster
I love Mythra!
Jaxson Garcia
One thing I forgot translating which makes a lot of sense during my playtest for the second faq For Rex and Homura, their damage will ignore the elemental resistance provided by the elemental orb.
Easton Morgan
Not necessary. Not important.
Camden Howard
mmm so this is a dlc spoiler. Good. I love you Homura/Pyra
Noah James
Why is she so smug?
Connor Hernandez
I think she is important but not in Rex arc. In the Addam arc for sure...and maybe dunno... Zeke arc? ahah
Jonathan Williams
She's awakened.
Isaiah Reyes
>like 30 cores into trying to get Zenobia >always out of boosters >never get enough of the items to give me truth boosters >still feel the need to complain despite having done 0 core grinding before this I wonder if I can take the Ardun down at level 62. >Adenine/Dagas/MegaPyra team Would be fun but I don't know if she's broken enough to kill the superbosses in one special like Herald and Poppi can. Neat. I never really notice a difference in damage when I put orbs on enemies but I know the game is accounting for it anyway.
Brandon Ross
How do I stop getting stanched so I can kill the UM confiscator jimmy?

Pyra can I love you?

Jayden Gray
Fuck, does this mean your whole team can be dodge memes?
Noah Taylor
Pyra!
Jeremiah Ramirez
Put a water orb on him.
Parker James
Alright, I've added the new information about the special mode in the second faq. At least, it good that my tests were pretty spot on most of the time.
I sure wish the game was less obtuse about counter spike.
Christopher Anderson
Seal stench Boost luk Wear red threads or whatever Just kill him? He's trash
Daniel Moore
Are there items you can only get through salvaging with premium cylinders? Because there's items in the exchange list that I've never picked up.
Aaron King
Pyra!
Brody Bennett
So apparently, the guide also confirms luck affects blade resonance (duh), but no information about loot. So it seems only treasure sensor type of skills affect loot.
Correcting that in the first faq.
Alexander Bell
How did this >the green girl is Pneuma meme even start anyways?
Landon Perez
Her name is literally written on her chest
Ryan Morris
This is a meme? What the fuck does it even mean?
Aiden Morris
Because unlike you, people played the game.
Brody Young
and also Klaus explains you this

Cameron Howard
Why does Adenine always frown? She never looks happy...
So Adenine has group buffs. Is that the same reason why people like Finch/Ibuki/MadokaBirb too? I don't use her since she has such a weak-ass hammer. Perhaps I just need to slot in more Core Chips?
Speaking of Core Chips, do Core Chip effects stack? I kinda assumed they did so I've been using lower ranked ones and moving my way to the highest one thinking that skipping to the highest ranking core chip wouldn't give me as high a max damage value.
Robert Morales
>you can call Awakened Homura with either Homura or Hikari, It doesn't matter how you call her, she is still Homura
Nathan Brooks
Does Merc Mission time run while you play Tiger Tiger?
Jason Peterson
took me fucking forever but I fucking did it, i died to him more times than i can count. shit was legit frustrating
Ethan Robinson
Finch sees use because people are kinda weird about having two of the same weapon on morag.
Jacob Sanchez
>Why does Adenine always frown? She never looks happy... So that when she is happy, it's really extra-special. We've been over this.
Nathan Rodriguez
Why did you fight him in the first place?
Wyatt Richardson
beloved Homura
Henry Mitchell
...
Owen Sanchez
But that's it: She's always happy! Even when I initially summoned her she was smiling.
I'm talking more the discrepancy between her art and her model.
Nolan Cruz
/xgg/ is a cuck general.
Gabriel Thomas

Y-Yes! I'll pour my heart and soul toward it!
Dylan Cook
Homura how is it? Being the true original powah winner?
Mason Lee
cause I wanted to and it was the first unique i came across where it actually was challenging to me and I did not just one shot it the first time around
the stretch thing was fucking me up the most as i had not really needed to learn how to fight it. That and I needed to set up orbs and doing team attack better
Jayden Foster
...
Nathaniel Campbell
I have two of the same weapon on Rex (Sheild Hammer with Electra + Godfrey)
Hudson Hughes
Kouji Ogata doesn't like smiles. Or something like that, none of the girls he draws ever look happy. I don't know if what he had in mind while designing Adenine was "easily excitable nerd who dances like an idiot when she finds ancient tablets."
You may also notice that she has just a hint of breasts in her art, but her model is 200% flat, nothing there basically.
Ethan Reed
Yes. I did a bunch of Ursula shit while grinding. >Tank Rex >hammers ever >>>Godfrey but why
Luke Lewis

Lincoln Gray
>playing videogames but why
Benjamin Gutierrez
New stuff I found: >Ideas increase damage of their own elements >In the resonance part, they confirm ideas only affect the elements of the blade, not the rarity. >Classes aggro bonus increases arts aggro by a much bigger margin than Auto attack aggro. >Aggroable mobs will not aggro if your leader character has its level 8+ higher than the mob, except unique monster > 0 Affinity state has the following effect: driver is in break state, special gauge is reset to 0, set period of time is required to reestablish the bond between them and the blade, damage dealt is halved, damage received is increaseed by 50%, cannot guard.
>Affinity UP conditions: Driver and Blade linked. Successful QTE (affect everyone), guard or evade an enemy attack, activation of driver arts or specials, hitting enemy weakness with a driver arts, driver combo or blade combo finish (affect everyone)
>Affinity DOWN conditions: Take critical damage, enemy evaded or guarded your attacks, enemy using arts that are effective against your blade element, driver KOed, link between the driver and blade has been severed, enemy manages to finish a driver combo or a blade combo (affects everyone)
>Affinity MAX effects: increase the "level" of the drive rarts (a lvl5 will bypass into lvl6), specials also get a lvl1 (not in the sense of I, II, III, IV, but regarding their affinity chart), unleashing lvl4 special
But man, this thing is merciless in term of spoilers. It is kind of weird that it gives you information for basic stuff, yet flat out spoil stuff from chap 8 and all.
Justin Reyes
How easy to Cloud Kin Ken compared to the other Squids? Does he do anything different from them?
Andrew Rogers
HP boost, that's all.
Brandon Green
Nothing different. He's just bigger, badder and stronger too.
Dominic Myers
>Saw Zenobia's shadow for the first time >receive cat Hopes deleted.exe >Ideas increase damage of their own elements Holy shit. I guess justice boosters have a use after you pull KOSMOS after all. Pump that bitch UP. >In the resonance part, they confirm ideas only affect the elements of the blade, not the rarity I figured this was the case. >> 0 Affinity state has the following effect: driver is in break state, special gauge is reset to 0, set period of time is required to reestablish the bond between them and the blade, damage dealt is halved, damage received is increaseed by 50%, cannot guard. That's pretty fucking terrible. I didn't know it was that bad. You should never need bonus HP on Rex badly enough to run Godfrey on him.
Benjamin Taylor
Are the new quests worth coming back to the game for? Also NG+ fucking when?
Samuel Diaz
So this informant isn't exactly true, or did I misunderstand it?
Liam Murphy
What the hell did Pyra do to get this much special treatment?
Andrew Brown
That implies higher ideas = higher chance of awakening rare(r) Blades. According to the guide that isn't the case.
James Miller
So why is it in the game then
Evan Foster
...
Logan Williams
Could be a mistranslation. To be fair the guide has just as much of a chance of being wrong as well. Hard to say since we can't crack the game open and see how these things work ourselves.
Cooper Davis
Regarding Levels: If a mob is lvl7 or higher, the experience gained is increased by more than 50% (capped to +100% if it is lvl10 or higher than the character)
If a mob is lvl7 or lower, the experience gained is halved, capped to a meager 13% if you have 20+ more levels than them.
When a mob is higher leveled than your characters, their damage is increased starting from lvl4+ (5%). Starting from lvl10+, it is doubled. At lvl15+, it is tripled. It is then capped at 20+ for a 400% damage dealt
On the flipside, damage is reduced starting from lvl4++, and it is gradually reduced, capped to 66% damaged received if lvl20+.
Enemy gains reaction resistance starting from lvl10+, capped at lvl14+ for a +100% reaction resistance
Meanwhile, your party gains accuracy bonus the very moment you get at least lvl1+. With 3 lvl, you hgave +22% accuracy. At lvl11+, your accuracy is more than doubled.
It didn't mention rarity, but "strength", so it is possible it affects the stats of the generic blade.
She is the poster girl and the heroine I guess.
Dominic Jenkins
Water to wine.
Brayden Roberts
>Meanwhile, your party gains accuracy bonus the very moment you get at least lvl1+. With 3 lvl, you hgave +22% accuracy. At lvl11+, your accuracy is more than doubled. >Only accuracy boosts, no penalties Thank fuck. That was annoying as shit in XC1.
Anthony Young
Its okay I found a usage for Hikari.
Joshua Ramirez
Yeah, no wonder why Kurodil isn't a miss festival, except for break attempts. Probably the least cancerous choice compared to previous games.
Aiden Fisher
>share the same body >Have to choose one Monogamy is overrated.
Lucas Scott
The translation is bad. We're assuming rare = stronger than common blade, but that's not the case.
Andrew Cooper
What did they mean by this?
Jason James
I have Level 2 and Level 3 salvage mastery generics for Morag, that enough? Any rare/quest blades that are guarenteed to have it and what level can they get up to?
Connor Scott
go away with your Zeke slut
Levi Jenkins
The more the merrier for salvaging mastery but that's a decent enough start to speed up your shekel salvage. Boreas and Praxis have salvaging mastery and both can get to level 3 for it. Praxis not being an RNG blade really helps for that, and none of her salvage nodes are blocked by quests or completely terrible time consuming shit.
Parker Foster
Holy fuck, that's something I wanted in the fucking game. Blade arts % and DURATIONS:
>Critical Up: 75% chance of activation if the driver hits an enemy but it wasn't a critical hit. Effect lasts 20sec (concentration)
>Accuracy Up: 75% chance of activation if a driver arts or auto attack missed. Effect lasts 20sec (Eagle Eye)
>Art Boost: 50% of activation when an art is done recharging. Effect lasts 25 sec (or until a art has been casted) (Power charge)
>Recharge boost: 50% chance of activation when an art has been casted. Lasts 30sec (art haste)
>Damage reduction: 50% chance of activation when the driver takes any damage. Lasts 30sec (Damage Armor)
>Reaction nullify: 75% chance of activation when the drivers is afflicted by a reaction. Lasts 30sec (Ether Anchor)
>Debuff nullify: 50% chance of clearing debuff when the driver is afflicted by a debuff. Lasts 20 seconds (Refresh)
>Back Attack UP: 75% chance of activation, periodic activation. lasts 20secs (Blind Area / Blind Spot)
>Draw Aggro: 75% chance of activation when another driver is targeted by an enemy. Lasts 20sec (someone is being targeted!)
So yeah, if someone really want to go all crazy with critical art card for tora, it works.
Parker Jackson
Anyone know where i can get auto balancer OTHER than 99+ bosses?
Dominic Miller
This shit should be in-game.
Thomas Roberts
Good shit. I wish this stuff was in the game somewhere. Or that there was an English version of the book I could buy.
Ryan Rodriguez
That would require these companies to be competent and conscientious which they're clearly not.
Gabriel Anderson
>Ideas increase damage of their own elements Does that mean I can screw Tora over permanently if I do poppi affinity charts before I get all the shop deeds for idea point gains??
Alexander Perez
post Turters
Isaiah Parker
...
John Anderson
Did they confirm treasure sensor and gold chips have to be on the active blade?
Julian Mitchell
Higher ideas gave me higher crown counts with more affinity nodes. It's really noticeable when you were pulling 3 crowns on a 10(15) ideas nia then start opening blades when I got mroag and it was a ll trash
Andrew Smith
So I've checked Tiger Tiger loot distribution, and it is no wonder light core and master mod are a PITA.
As we suspected, those are exclusive to the big chest. The catch is that there are 8 kind of "parts pool" for the big chest, and only one of them has the master mod or light core, each of them have a 9% drop rate.
That means you have 9% drop after a 12% chance of getting that loot pool, assuming all loot pool have the same chance of appearance. If we assume such numbers, that means the chance of getting a master mod or the light core is a meager 1.125%.
Unfortunately, nothing.
Jaxon Gray
>1.125%
Asher Bailey
>1.125% drop rate for a mini-game for a single item for a single character in a single-player game
Two bombs wasn't enough
Andrew Lee
Preasue underustandu. Reward not feel as good without hardship
Mason Turner
>They're bitching about a 1.125 HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Is this your first video game?
James Ross
Please, don't remind me Monster Hunter and its BS desire sensor when it comes to gems.
Mason Morgan
Maybe I'm just noticing now, but when I have scimitar girl engaged I can't select any of those blades for merc missions... is this new or a bug or something?
Nolan Ramirez
I remember you were called a cheater if you have even one max charm.
Andrew Lewis
It is a new bug from 1.2.0
Caleb Parker
>mfw they made those alt-art leader legendaries from the birthday poll in shadowverse >mfw 0.03% chance to get it
Known bug made from a lack of testing or any brain cells in their empty radiation boiled skulls.
Luke Powell
HAH YOU THINK HITTING ONE 1.125 IS BAD? TRY HAVING TO HIT IT TEN TIMES AND THEN HAVING TO DO IT OVER AND OVER NOT TO MENTION THAT YOU HAVE TO PLAY IN A SPECIFIC WAY TO EVEN GET THAT 1.125
Jose Robinson
It wouldn't be so bad if it was a combat drop rate but it's a for completing a dumb mini-game that is the exclusive way to get certain items.
Oliver Robinson
To be fair, it's more like just not suck. Not having to care about ether and chests is nice
