And very happy in Circadian Dice, i managed to destroy that Moonstone Nexus scenario too !

The battle before the last boss had me on the edge, i was wasting red on my last "Feel no pain" charge to heal my guy that life was going down too fast and lost the ability, i was worried about the boss battle.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I mean that thing looked insane and i had only 11 health left and my dices were not going to help at all, so this was going to be the only turn as either i won or i wouldn't have enough health left after their attacks.

So i rolled again , wow that's not much better, let's see the last roll...
The double axe , a triple cursed sword a single axe and 1 red gem ? hmm, let's see my abilities,  oh yeah ... oh yeah luck is on my side

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I use the single axe on the boss, the damage spread ( 1 ) is enough to kill the weakest enemy and do simple damage on another, but the more important is 2 enemies are considered damaged (as the dead one isn't counted anymore) even if it's a ridiculous one point of damage.
Why it's important , it's for that bloodlust ability, investing a red gem give a damage multiplier to all attack dice based on the amount of damaged enemies.
So i invest the 2 red gem i had, + the one i had rolled and it's such a great thing because i end with the double axe and the triple cursed sword doing 7 times their damage.

So long and thanks for all the fish !

After the little surprise in the end, that made me worried as i was in no state to continue but fortunately was just a cutscene for the next scenario coming, Victory !

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It enabled hard mode, the new final scenario and a "campaign mode".
But whatever , i won, victory was mine

[SeriousConcentrate]

So I'm fucking around in Nioh and just fighting Honda Tadakatsu over and over because he's an extremely easy (comparatively speaking) boss and worth a good amount of Amrita. Without even trying, I managed to beat him without taking a single hit - and for what it's worth, I'm using a high-stance axe (slow swing speed) and my weight is nearly 80% (second slowest movement speed, slowest dodging speed). He's only the second boss I've managed to do this on, the first being the first time you fight Onryoki.

Nioh 1.

I managed to get blue stars (all 5-star wins) across the top row in Circadian Dice. Even with her fast xp and money gain from her power, the necromancer is tough to win as.

I managed to get blue stars (all 5-star wins) across the top row in Circadian Dice. Even with her fast xp and money gain from her power, the necromancer is tough to win as.

I haven't done her third row (or hard mode) yet, but I found she's pretty solid if you play to her strengths-- take some combination of trapper's mantle, soothing collar, and tome of wisdom. Because she gets a lot of xp and gold, she's less susceptible to RNG-screw since you can buy your way out of lousy dice and some debuffs, and into more valuable ones. And as a trap-necro, particularly with the trapper's mantle, you can capture bosses fairly easily. ...Unlike Barbarian, I find her Ring of Fellowship to be fairly weak.

...In other news, you know that stupidly OP "boss" at the end of Moonstone Nexus?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You get to fight it in Chaos Realm. And, yes, it still destroys 3 die faces each time it hits you. And since mine hit for like 6 damage, has shield, and barrier, good luck not taking at least one or two hits. I managed to beat it with a Necro, but died to fear in the immediate next stage... I'd recommend against taking anything that doesn't have a constant passive effect for Chaos Realm-- things like Ring of Fellowship or Onk's Fist are weak, since you're liable to cycle die faces and pets a lot. Though if you manage to keep pets standing, they can end up stupidly powerful. 50% chance to do 30 piercing damage a turn? Yes, please.

Spoiler: "Update: Time Bender at the Moonstone Nexus." (click to show/hide)

So it was a pretty easy time, up to the boss, and, as you'd expect, his mutations are brutal. Petrify and Shield are the biggies, since my damage is mostly 1atk.

16hp+2shield, and my strongest hit is 3atk. This is not going to be a good fight. Thankfully, I have 6 charges of Icicle left, so I only have to deal 10 damage. Survival's not much of a problem-- my dice are stacked (particularly the first two). Die 1: 1life/Reroll. Die 2: 1red1white/Reroll, 2life/Reroll, 1atk1shield/Reroll, 3atk. Die 3: 3atk/Reroll, 1wild1shield/Reroll, 2TempCoin/Reroll, and 1xJunk. Die 4: 1atk/Reroll, 1coin/Reroll, 4xJunk.

So, every turn, I'm guaranteed 4 life, probably 2-3 shield, and probably 1-2coin with 2TempCoin... but I'm also rocking 15 charges of Finesse. With my gem generation and chance to keep a gem, I can cast that thing until I run out of charges... hopefully being able roll 10 of those 3atk hits before run out. That's... what, 30 rolls, plus 4 per turn?

I keep at it with that strategy until I'm down to ~half of my charges of finesse... and he's still at 12 life. Not. Good. I'm considering my options and decide to go all-in on rerolling the shop for piercing/magic attacks. Success! For 12 gold, I can get a 2xMagicPiercing attack. That means with two hits of it, I can drop him low enough to be finished off with Icicle. Got the gold in one turn, burning a few more finesse in the process.

Over the next two turns, I manage to tag him twice, killing him... but 2/3rds of my faces are now petrified, and there's 4 adds left that've been mutating for 2-3 turns. Oh wait-- I got a skill from beating the Tethervore... Time Lock. (Or whatever that skill that allows you to lock a face is called.)

...Yep. I'm going to lock that 3atk face and just go to town on them, killing all four that same turn.

And for all this trouble? 4*. Short 15 points. Damn it.

Timetwister Orb, Fatecrafter's Tools (got extra charges mid-run), Tethermage's Helm (sucks, don't take it... attacks via reroll violate it), Tome of Wisdom

...And interestingly, Timebender's 10* HM unlock is pretty good on everybody except a Timebender.

[Robsoie]

That chaos bane guy sounds fun ... or not

Still in Circadian Dice i managed to finally unlock the last non-hard mode item, that required defeating with 3 different classes that damned Moonstone Nexus.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My 2nd attempt was with the Cleric class and i must have been very lucky but it was the one i had the less problem with as i won on my first try (i guess the Weaken ability i got in a level up really helped a very in combination with all his shields) , but the 3rd attempt was with the elementalist, a class that has some good damage output and enemy blocking (due to fireball and icicle from the start) and helped me a lot in other scenario.

But man it was so much harder than i thought as i got destroyed many , many time in the fight before the boss (the one in which there's 2 midboss with high health and high damage that are resistant to stun) , until i got a bit lucky with an attempt with the shop , the boss fight again was won with incredible luck but i guess with the numerous bad luck rolls i got in previous defeats it was only justice

What trinkets are you using for cleric and elementalist? I can't seem to get anywhere on them.

Spoiler: "5* Moonstone Nexus, HM: GET!" (click to show/hide)

This series of battles is actually worse than it looks, because you have to do three bosses in a row; I just forgot to screenshot the second.

Sad thing: I looked at that Tethervore and actually went "Oh, thank goodness. It's an easy one."

The third boss is technically a penalty for screwing up the second boss, but good luck not triggering the spawn: You need to be able to do like four 15-20dam (less with piercing) hits without rerolling. (Turns are okay, I think. If you can survive.)

[Robsoie]

I'm so not ready to get into hard mode , already the first scenario with its surprise 2nd boss when i thought i was doing ok

For the elementalist in my clearing of that last scenario i had
-witch's knife
-windrider bow
-bottomless pouch
-heart pendant

the idea is  :
The witch knife usefulness is all around good as cursed enemy that die will give you more, the windrider is a must have for the damage to other enemies when you kill a monster exactly with a piercing (and icicle being 1 piercing is fantastic), the bottomless pouch is also a must in order to be able to afford fast better dices from the shop to replace crap or weak ones you're going to be stuck with for a few battles, heart pendant because it seriously increase the healing from the healing dice (and getting a very healing dice from the shop + heart pendant is a must).

for the cleric i don't remember which items i had, but i don't think i went very different from the elementalist .

On the cleric, I try to add more attack any way possible. The 2 relics that help with capturing are usually useful for that, but it depends on the enemies. The elementalist comes with a built-in "need to kill this enemy now" button, so that helps. Probably the extra charges relic, and some stuff to gain more money/xp?

There's a "Space Thunder" event going on, which means, yes, there's battles in space. Given that I jumped in blind with no idea of what I'm getting into, I placed 4th on the winning team.

War Thunder. Apparently just the April's Fools event. Still, pretty fun and not a bad concept at all.

How do you get the Ninja to be good? There's just not enough damage to handle any enemy with shields, and not a good way to earn money fast enough to gain more attack.

I haven't figured out any absurd combos with him that can carry you through HM easily, but as far as normal mode is concerned, Onk's Fist or Windrider's Bow and Fatecrafter's Tools will give you a strong first die, plus Heart Pendant, Timetwister's Orb or Time Vessel, Tome of Wisdom, depending on what you like to do. (I'm a fan of Tome of Wisdom for extra tool uses, and Time Vessel if you're not doing to .)

The Fist will guarantee a 2dam hit, you can punch through at least one layer of shields... and stun/lifedrain never hurts, or the Bow, which will give more damage for less sustain.
Fatecrafter's Tools are a mainstay of mine, for obvious reasons... I only skip it for 1-2 relic stages.
Orb and Vessel are exclusive of each other; take the former if you intend to stack reroll dice, the latter for anything else (particularly Blitz faces).
Tome of Wisdom will give extra stuns, shuriken plinks, and uses of Tools.

Also, related: the ninja's knife unlock looks amazing for the time mage (+1 reroll, plus a skill that does 1 damage and stun for each reroll). Except it requires red gems that the time mage does not have a good way to get. Anger.

The Ninja specific seems to be about chained dice as he starts with a few of them and when you land at 3 chained dices at once in a very rare push of your luck it is helpfull in surviving some though situation.

But it looks like no item (well maybe hard mode items have but i'm nowhere near to get any) seems to randomly add a chain to a normal dice in inventory or shop
And unless i have been unlucky while playing Ninja, it looks like shops do not seem to have much increase of chained dice when using that class.

Well. I got to the Tethervore three times in a row (excluding first round restarts) with Time Vessel, Dagger Stash, Fatecrafter's Tools, and Witch's Knife.

And I almost definitely would've beaten it on the second try if I didn't fail TWO 90% traps.

Edit: Next try--

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Incidentally, if you haven't bashed your head against Annihilate before... it permanently destroys a die face. You can't buy new pieces to recover. Which means, play Chaos Realm long enough and you'll end up with entirely trashed dice. I don't think I ever actually used the interesting part of Witch's Knife... I think Summoning Scythe(+Soothing Collar) might have potential. Some pets can hit for a lot, and turning trap->piercing is pretty cool. Combo it with Time Vessel and capture a Tether Glitch or two and you've got a lot of extra gold/health/damage/Dagger Flurry potential to play with. But that's already three slots...
