Was messing around with killing a boss without even drawing a weapon and caught this little nugget completely by accident.
Jose Morales
Would you take her to Elysium?

What if one of the future patches is More multi blade Heart to Hearts Newt and Zen have a blade power lifting competition with themselves, Wulfric, and Poppi Agate being terrified of Wulfric due to his almost Bug like appearance Sheba and Dagas both trying to out smug the other Vale attempting to learn the mysteries of Kassandra's mask and talking about how it could improve her own dark power Perun, Godfrey and Percival talk about their ideas of Justice Pyra and Gorg try to see who is better at cooking sweets with Boreas as the judge. Dagas trying to recruit Aeagon as his new personal guard for his new kindgom but he refuses saying he belongs to Mor Ardain, and Dagas keeps trying until he discovered Aeagon's strange fondness for bugs

Don't let the door hit you on the ass.
Oliver Hughes
English Zeke is way better though.
Jordan Watson
I'm not sure how you could handle Rex "yell" in chap3.
Caleb Hall
Which one though? all of his "yells" were weird.
Michael Evans
>Sever’s weapon is based on Knuckles
I have no idea why they didn’t just use Malos’s three hit combo for this.
Adam Nguyen
>killing the original Ardon makes the alternate universe Ardon die as well fucking hell I knew I should have farmed for food
Evan Smith
Wait so TWO of the Torna blades are based on knuckles? Why?
Lucas Robinson
So if I put the lowest level chips on everything, sell all my chips, release all my blades and the start NG+ is the game still not a steamroll if I delevel to 1?
I want to play it again, I just want to have fun doing it.
Juan Rodriguez
Well, the entire scene where Rex went avenger mode
Jose Gomez
I don’t know, and punching people with a sword looks awkward. Why they didn’t at least use Katanas is beyond me.
Luis Evans
What are your Blades trust levels at? Even at A,you'll still be doing more then normal at the start. Staying level 1 for boss fights will certainly make things harder though, but it's possible. Someone has already killed Ophion at level 1.
Kevin Roberts
I guess cause they realize making Knuckles the healing weapon was silly.
Jeremiah Smith
They're not all at A or anything, but the main ones definitely are.
Why do they keep fucking NG+ up?
Jordan Martinez
...
Carter Murphy
Well, not much they can do for standard mode. The game wasn't even hard to start with and I think for most people, they would have been a little bit mad if NG+ pumped up everythings level.
Thomas Williams
Is there any reason to go back to levels 1-4 of Tiger Tiger once you have 5?
Juan Lee
Guess I'll sit on my NG file and hope challenge mode is good. I honestly wouldn't have minded replaying the game from scratch, but I'd have liked to have the chance to get the new blades.
Nathan Thomas
If you haven't gotten a high enough score for those two nodes of Poppi's yeah, other that that there's no reason.
Nathan Miller
Stage 2 for ether farming. Certain stages have exclusive chips, notably the raw stats parts (strength, dext etc).
Alexander Bailey
...
Aaron Powell
Scan never
Hunter Roberts
Poppi is NOT for sexual.
Austin Sanders
>You can walk through the Steam cloud as Tora, skipping turning the Valve to stop it.

Eli Phillips
Fighting canon with non canon ? You sure are smart
Ryan Garcia
IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKR SEVER A GOOD ATACKER BLADE FOR REX ? OR AT LEAST OP IN SOME WAY. REEEEEE
Brandon Robinson
you keep saying it isn’t canon, but have nothing to prove that other than its association with NG+.
Andrew Nelson
Whatever happened to that lil guy?
Logan Carter
Which is more than enough if you understand what NG+ is trying to do.
Cooper Martin
Delete this.
Ian Howard
What were the requirements for Cressidus's affinity chart? They all just unlocked instantly for me.
Benjamin Mitchell
Having meat in your inventory
Dylan Price
no
Asher Long
Zeke has him in his pocket for the entire game.
Elijah Brown
He’s right here
Jaxson Brown
He also requires eating various meat for his affinity chart. Other Blades like Obrona as well, her's are fish. You wouldn't think a moth/bat thing would like Fish, but whatever.
Luis Lopez
Oh yeah, how do we unlock the new driver affinity chart stuff? Mine are already complete and I'm not seeing anything new.
Angel Flores
Don't judge, user. Maybe she just likes fithh.
Kevin Hughes
Press Y.
Nathan Thompson
Try reading the UI, dumbshit.
Angel Jenkins
What would she like then?
Joshua Fisher
Bats like insects and fruit. Moths would drink nectar, so I would think desserts.
Daniel Roberts
>is trying to do Releasing some plot constraints from the gameplay, yes. However, you’re assuming that because the gameplay elements of NG+ are non-canon, then the reward screen for the completion of NG+ must also be non-canon.
I mean, every boss victory for the first half of the normal story is also non-canon because you lose in the cutscenes, as are every skip travel and probably the existence of every non-story rare blade.
Tl;dr there’s a huge gap between canon and gameplay throughout the whole game and your opinion on the background screen is pure speculation based on your own logic, which I guess also goes for those saying it is canon. You have no objective authority on this issue.
Joshua Ramirez
>just started Ursula's quest >get 1 stamp per mission
Oof. Please tell me this increases.
Elijah Jackson
...
Nolan Wood
SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT AUX CORES AND ACCESSORIES I NEED TO USE TO MAKE MY SHIT BROKEN AS FUCK I'M TIRED OF GETTING ONESHOTTED AND RAPED BY EVERYTHING
Nice mental gymnastics you just pulled. Miss me with ur gay shit and stay delusional. The changes are not only gameplay related, but you would know that if you actually played Ng+. I guess you're too busy trying to validate your headcanon when in reality it's just your low quality head canon.
Brody Gomez
It increases. You eventually get two and then three stamps per mission. It takes a very long time. Just get her Affinity to level 4 and end it there.
Nolan Brown
If you're getting one-shotted and raped by everything your level is probably too low. Aux cores and accessories won't really help with that. You have to be a bit more detailed, are you having trouble healing? Keeping aggro on your tank? What's causing you to get your shit kicked in so hard?
Easton Campbell
Disregard aux and accessories, acquire higher levels through grinding.
That's good then. I'll do my best to see it through, especially since I don't particularly give a shit about the merc missions this time around.
Anthony Hill
For what it's worth, her missions are the shortest repeatable missions. They're useful for grinding out affinity charts for other blades.
Logan Ortiz
Dilaton chips would help you I guess, but getting them would require you to beat the worst boss in the game.
Cameron Sullivan
AOE attacks that kill my healer and then while I'm slowly walking over to pick them up my tank dies and then repeat ad nauseam until I'm out of party gauge I saw that video of the jap killing the highest level boss at level 1, I know it isn't my fucking level
Jonathan Ortiz
Which boss?
Sebastian Green
>I saw that video of the jap killing the highest level boss at level 1, I know it isn't my fucking level
Don't watch that min-max bullshit and expect it to apply to normal play, that build is specifically designed to do exactly what you're seeing and it takes way more time investment than anything else. It's only possible because he was level 99 and then leveled down to 1 in NG+. If your healer is dying like that either raise their level or work on their Blade affinity. What Blades do you have on Nia?
Then it's a matter of your HP. Are you using accessories that increase it? Are you using pouch items so that your healers art recharge is able to keep up with incoming damage? What Blades is your healer using? Who IS your healer? Nia?
Andrew Wood
>Kurodil Gotta cancel into Ultra Annihilation flare.
Michael Roberts
I'm aware? I don't think that user is complaining about not being able to beat Kurodil specifically, he's just citing the video of that Jap beating it at level 1 as evidence that his level doesn't matter, which isn't accurate at all.
Austin Sanchez
Catgirl in Elysium!
Robert Gutierrez
>my reading comprehension It's Saturday morning and I'm hung over sorry.
But still, the principle remains: if an AOE is enough to cripple your party, you should probably cancel into it.
Liam Edwards
So do I need Akhos, Patroka, and Mikhail to view Obrona, Perdido, and Cressidus' heart to hearts? What about Sever?
Easton Roberts
>can't keep vandham in ng+ missed opportunity desu
Aiden Nguyen
Yes and you need Patroka to view Mik's and you need Ahkos to view Patroka's.
Hunter Sanders
Is this the first canon positive polygamy ship? It's really progressive!
Andrew Walker
Just saw the new update on the Switch news. So do you have to roll for the Torna blades or did they add some side quests?
Isaiah Wilson
>those tits How to ruin the prettiest chest in the game, jfc
Owen Davis
Roll for all but 1. Mik doesn't really have a quest, you find him after the ship explodes at the base of the World Tree.
Ian Cook
Damn. Well at least they made blade grinding a lot quicker since you don't have to manually skip the cutscenes now.
Leo Anderson
I thought you have to beat NG+ first.
Sebastian Brooks
Nope, the second you get to that part of chapter 9, right before the final Jin fight. I used him against Amalthus. Nice payback.
William Lee
It's ok, it's Tora sexualizing her
Oliver Moore
Those nipples are ugly af. I hope it doesn't sell a single copy.
Jaxson Phillips
Oh, nice. I'm glad I can get him a little sooner than I thought I could.
Robert Morris
>NG+ has a totally different plot on account of the main characters all being way too powerful
I would have enjoyed that a lot.
Owen Hughes
That would have taken way too much work.
Robert Reed
Not even a different plot, just don't remove him from the party after Chapter 3. He doesn't who up in cutscenes either.
That'd bring an issue with who keeps Roc but I'm sure they'd be able to work something out.
Austin Gray
Does Akhos and Patroka have Lvl4 Specials? Couldn't find any video of them?
Nicholas Perry
Welp, guess I'm late to the party. Can any of the new flesh/blade eater blades be used as drivers?
Noah Brooks
Wasn't it always polygamy?
Owen Clark
There is actually a plot explanation for Vandham not having any more blades. Vandham explains to the party that he never found a need to resonate with any other blade.
Austin Bennett
yes
Luis Butler
Nice...
Bentley Anderson
>Rex you've caused a time paradox! REX! REXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!
Oliver Adams
Huh, didn't know there were enemies in the Cloud Sea at Argentum.
Michael Fisher
Interestingly, you can get Blades from characters you don't have yet to appear in Garfont. I had Percival on Morag and in my NG+ playthrough I still haven't gotten her yet.
Nathaniel Perry
Makes sense. You can also see the H2H markers for characters and blades you don't have yet
Ryder Baker
Sever is a fucking batshit crazy lizardman, I love it
Ryder Lewis
Guys, I think I'm in love with Perdido
Connor Jackson
Does trust transfers on NG+? I have several blades on 7~8k.
