thats some top tier sort of suck bro its only an urban myth 😭😭😭

[@Amirrorofmirrors]

⁠@@Water_Connoisseurthe crazy part is that it doesn’t even take that much playtime to completely disprove their claim. Like, you learn that Roland is more than just a confused protagonist really early on. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t take that long to learn that the “sweet helpless girl” is a little bit more than that either. And literally the first fucking cutscene involving a patron librarian shows a side of both angela and malkuth that was not mentioned in the review. This guy literally just skipped through every line of dialogue and then complained about the story being bad.

[@ThatCheeseGuy1]

this is absolutely cooking, reminds me of ymfah and that's awesome; keep it up!

I mean i pretty much copied from him but made it into ruina instead. Don't know why no one was doing it actually

[@Awerfast]

59:41 the gimmick of this fight is simple, first you need to kill the clones, then kill Pluto. He usually don't take any damage from normal attacks (except burn and 13th attack thing and some other indirect dmg). For some reason when using Blockma strat Pluto takes the dmg so you can pretty much solo this fight if you redirect all the contracts to the meatshields

[@plasmur]

so yeah, basically another case of kill all mobs to kill boss

[@olixx1213]

In phase 2 the way you're supposed to kill him is surviving until the mass, and winning the mass with everyone to nuke his stagger bar But lol no one does that

[@Copyblade5]

So you can actually beat Queen of Hatred as soon as you unlock her, but you need to do the Rusted Chains general reception! (Burn one Urban Plague book that doesn't have a story invite attached.) Step 1: Get three Jikan Key pages Step 2: Slot Bleed and Slash support passives Step 3: Stack some Bleed and card draw in your deck Step 4: Beat her face in. QoH is noticeably weak to Bleed because she's nothing but offensive dice. It's a bit like playing rocket tag with her, but I've only needed a try or two for this to work.

I would've mentioned bleed against QoH and used full stop for true cheese but hey. For ensemble, soloing is absolutely not necessary as you only need 20 keypages to equip everything. Also Malkuth solo is the easiest there as you only need Yujin with fervid, happy memories and double haulers. Argalia can also die to basically anything with the right passives lol. Nikolai can also cheese aspiration with disposal. For Remorse you can sort of just kill her and ignore the arms. Good god I was ranting. Anyways good guide!

On my current playthrough fights that i had been dreading i finished on my first or second try. Save for a few (screw you apocalypse bird).

1:11:00 there's a way easier way of doing aspiration Step 1 : Get the abno page learn and slap it on a nugget with any defensive power up(can be anyone if you use nikolai) Step 2 : Use learn against aspiration, the counter dices will clash and she'll get staggered due to her constantly losing the clashes

@@plasmur counters usually can't clash with counters due to counters usually needing to be one sided to be actually used However due to the dices being copied when the card is used, the clash is already happening , so they are used (Also learn is really bugged with counter dices, if you copy fiery dragon slash with learn , learn will also copy the counter die , which is gonna hit the target after the other 3 dices, even thought the opponent has no more dices)

Extra tips for Red Mist Batle: Index Proxies are very good and effective this fight because of easy power stacking. Binah can use Degraded Pillar to cheese On rush and GSV. Her First Die has the effect "This dice can't be rerolled", so even if you fail the clash, the dice is destroyed. Also, her Mass attack gives 3 Protection to all alies, so it's useful against surviving GSH

[@BigFellaDj]

19:40 insignificant nitpick but you can actually do any reception to get back the distortion/lob corp book, from Rats and onward

[@Niiue]

1:08:43 Short version: You simply killed the summons too fast. Long version: *Roland exits stealth at the end of the third scene, no matter what.* What happened here is that you killed the summons too fast and so you didn't have anyone to target while Roland was waiting for the end of the third scene to exit stealth. It's listed in his passives, but it's something to look out for. Quick tip if anyone is using the Red Mist to fight Roland: Delay killing one of the summons so that you still have someone to feed 40 damage from.

[@R-team-field-commander]

Tbh regarding the comment in the thumbnail...... meh, first tume I had difficulty in LoR going in blind was QoH (I still question myself why the hell I chose to spend hours to beat her as soon as unlocked instead of getting stronger pages and clear her in few attempts) and after that I found stuff difficult only when I reached Star of the city. Also while LoR has it's nasty fights, especially from star of the city and forward, it's almost relaxing compared to LC in my opinion, love both games but oh boi does LC get stressful in later days, especially when powerful abnos want completly different things like QoH and Mosb, or when you discover for the first time that some abnos "disguise" themselves as lower a lower grade one.

Not sure how well this will be received, if anything, if you want to play as braindead and stagnant as humanly possible, charge, burn, and so much floor gimmicks suck in comparison to running basically 2 builds until end end game. The "Bullets don't work" build and smoke bleed combo build. I feel confident enough to state such revolting claims because I did the same as this man: Read reviews, chuckle, and reset my game. Guns are amazingly fast at clearing non-boss fight or not so gimmicky realization/abnorm fights. Run all of the Full Stop passives and have fun, later add more passives as you progress the game. Bleed and smoke is ridiculously broken, easy to stack up smoke and bleed to make the enemy die via attacking you. Though its not that strong if you have to deal with more enemies. So I like to use it against bosses. Ofc when it comes to the Blue Man Group you can't quite run any braindead build :( (I hate you Pluto, Hokmaballs) But overall an easy way to carry your early game and not have to bother deck building. Again, if you want to be braindead and one a trick pony type of (boring) player, this is the path for you!

i feel this game peaks in frustration and losing people in like unlock of tiphereth -> pre red mist by far cuz the overpowered strategies at that point are kind of hard to stumble across unless you really know what you're doing. abno battles should also have a disclaimer when you unlock them that they can and should be done later if you feel like its unfair. queen of hatred, red hood and cheseds floor realization are all really irritating when u unlock them imo and could def do with being made a tad bit easier.

[@NolanB.]

i like the challenge and the end of the game really does not fuck around but those 3 felt like weird spikes in otherwise tame areas of the game

[@KatBeanGod]

second post at the start. omfg. "The characters are very by-the-numbers and cookie-cutter. Tell me you've never heard a robot who wants to feel something and a protagenist who is sucked into a place unknown, has no idea what's going on, and is trying to get a grip on everything new" kid has CLEARLY never gotten past early-game. Also commenting on the game's "Easiness". Kid has CLEARLY never done a SINGLE floor realization, or even got to UN. I love insulting the worldbuilding of city and giving no explanation whatsoever, my favorite thing! The issue with the Tracks cutting out is believable, since, well, the floor battle intensity system is never explained and not very well-polished (should've probly faded out and in imo), but otherwise HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THAT REVIEW?!?? thanks for letting me rant guys rest of the video is great

[@AllD.GuilhermeUniversal]

this video is kinda good but its not much specifique with some things, i tried following the methods but some pages just are missing and all that bullshit, but until i got on urban nightmare this video helped a lot.

[@plasmur]

can you be a bit more specific with your issues? i had to cut out a lot of stuff for the sake of making this video as short as possible as concise as possible

[@AllD.GuilhermeUniversal]

@@plasmur Actually i just dint notice some parts where you are making the builds because it was much fast, but actually i already solve this issue, my great issue now is in red mist, because even with me doing the same thing you did, somehow it is not working, probably i am missing something.

[@CNNat11]

Question, how did you get so much stagger damage on greta? Im following your strat to a T and im doing next to no damage

[@plasmur]

first off, i'm assuming you use the same setup as mine (decks, passives, and abno cards)? second, i'm sure Greta cannot be staggered, she just takes like 100 damage instead. third, if you do use the same setup as mine, the only problem that you'll face is Break and Egg, and Trial Snack which has massive number on the second dice. you can deal with it using smoke blow, smoke prick or any card that has the friend buff activated and has a second dice as well. fourth, how long was the baits alive for? just keep them alive as long as you can, at least until she uses her insta kill move on the baits. after that it's just a matter of doing the fight as usual and cancelling her grab with xiao's mass attack, the first one use the more expensive mass attack, then the second one use the cheap one. just to be a bit efficient on the light that's all i can say for now from the limited information you gave me

[@CNNat11]

@@plasmur i just changed my build to a rapid gashes build and won easily lol. Its a lot more light efficient and draws better than what the video showed. However, i still want to thank you for the advice you have given me.

You get stagger with gebura if you don't do damage while with E.G.O about 20~30 stagger damage I think, that's why you almost lost you run against Roland lol

Was hoping for a guide on cheesing some hard bosses and get greeted by a spoiler on the title screen. Thanks

not a spoiler if you don't know the context

I haven't watched fully since I am following along and don't want spoilers, but does the video cover all of the realizations? I tried Hod Realization early and felt like I was having an aneurysm.

[@plasmur]

yeah the vid is basically how to beat the entire game with true ending

I would want a more in-depth part on the Binah realization (I'm still stuck there since last year)

are some of the encouters you have from mods? i dont think ive seen some of them before like bamboo kim

[@plasmur]

look up general invitations, it's not mods it's just very poorly explained in the base game, i know exactly what you're thinking because it took me 3 playthroughs before i realize that's a feature in the game

The answer to the title is literally two words: Red Mist (Also Myongest)

[@plasmur]

that's why i speedrunned all the way to SoTC just to get her

[@amanwithnoname4657]

1:08:46 You get staggered here bc of Red Mist's penalty, if you don't do I think a minimum of 40 damage every scene, you take stagger damage.
