Can You Beat Miitopia Without Buying New Gear?

Hello Luiginoids, this is LuigiXRules, doing another challenge video! I’m sorry this one took so long to come out; for some reason, my motivation for this challenge was just on and off for the last year or so. But it’s finally here, and I hope you enjoy it!
I have a lot of history with Miitopia. I’ve played the 3DS version several times, and am currently trying to 100% the Switch version. However, every time I play it, I end up playing it the same way, so today, we’re going to change that. In this video, we are going to see if you can beat Miitopia with one of its core mechanics stripped away: buying new weapons/armor (together referred to as “gear”). Is the challenge possible? Watch the video to find out.
Until next time! It’ll probably be something familiar!

Small fun fact for the laid-back personality: For the Slack Off and Get Serious abilities. The slack off uses less mp and get serious uses more mp to deal more damage which.. Make sence.

[@JJSSBU]

I'm not sure the get serious ability uses more MP. I had a laid-back playthrough and my Jumping Cut or however is called still costed 5 MP.

[@marx67]

Actually, get serious uses the same amount of mp and deals more damage!

[@ethnictendo]

The Slack Off ability also deals less damage, which does make sense. But my Mii is laid-back, and slacks off a *lot.* It gets annoying fast.

[@eeveestars3668]

Also when Laid back miis Avenge other miis they don't get really angry or start crying so of you have a laid back cat or tank that is hyper most regular enemies can say goodbye to there lives

Fun Fact : The cat was the only class in 3DS Miitopia that could reach 15k damage in one turn! This is due to Sharpen Claws + Praise + Show Off + Feline Frenzy against 8 Apple Jellies! This could probably be achieved without the praise.

[@JJSSBU]

Fun fact: Tank is the class that has the lowest stat at level 50, with 0 speed

I think you really undersold the princess's support potential, if her passive dodge triggers on a full party attack her AND the person "helping" her dodge avoid it. Also the dance skill (at least on the DS version) if it hits, always succeeds on subsequent rounds, so it's really strong as the players mii since you can infinitely stunlock whole groups of enemies.

[@negative_skies]

my main mii was a princess for a bit and the dance skill bit is true! if they started dancing the round before they *will* dance again (i'm on switch)

[@remyrhys1060]

you have such a huge brain, ive played miitopia 5 times and still had no idea about all the effects of different personalities

[@insertnamehere1398]

I knew them all from first playing the switch port. I guess you could say I’m a bit of a super fan

[@eeveestars3668]

Its great seeing people try miitopia challenges saying that Miitopia is also one of my favorite games I would also try doing miitopia challenges if I had the ability to record them (although I am doing a cat only run right now which is "fun") your living my dream man

[@JJSSBU]

I remember I played the demo 6 times to figure out the best early role (as no surprise, Chef was the winner)

[@eeveestars3668]

Since cat isn't able in greenhorn I actually only use chef's for it you see there's a problem that you won't find in the demo spicy dish makes the mii's fight each other and I mean fight because of this chef was actually a pain in my but

[@shadowsansvii8715]

I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I felt like saying this. I managed to beat this game without weapons, armor, the horse or grub boosts. I felt like that’s more of a challenge then just no gear. But not having gear does make the game harder. I think buying gear or using amiibo costumes is fine as long as you only use it for appearance. As long as you don’t effect the stats, you can still buy them.

[@JJSSBU]

Buy wasting resources just for appereancies is bad, when money can be spent on MP Candys or HP Bananas

[@shadowsansvii8715]

@@JJSSBU I said you can still buy them. And there is nothing wrong with it. Plus, bananas and mp candies are not super useful. And you get so many of them throughout the game.

[@Robo-pump]

He had 360 sprinkles during the dragon. I only had 140.

[@Chaotic_evil_duck]

​@@Robo-pumphe was probably grinding for food as food stats are the only way for him to increase his stats and therefore he freed more faces

[@sophiafifi7]

Fun fact about the lasers( 33:08 ) : If you run out of shield sprinkles, you can avoid it by putting your mii in the safe spot, only 1 mii will take damage so the safe spot is really useful in these bosses.

It’s worth noting that the Darkest Lord’s coin minions are limited. He can only summon 6 of them, and after they’re all gone, he can’t summon any more of them. I’m surprised that they decided to do this because I’m pretty sure he never summons any extra coins in the second phase.
