It looks like the chance to trigger doesn't go up with level, only the heal amount. I still think it's quite good for stage but maybe heal over time would be more useful in endless.

So what were the new weapons that were added?

[Anonymous No.]

>>32619879
There's also X-Potato (VS Runetracer) that turns into Rap Dog with Idol Song and super passive items, Kiara's stream showed super idol costume (45% special cooldown and gives you 2 uses) and super SC time (100% coins and heal on coin pickup). We don't know Stage 2's 10 minute or 20 minute bosses yet, or any unlocks related to stage 2 in general.

I would have liked to see some items rebalanced in terms of cost (in levels) but uber sheep is twice as good as it was so at least it's not as pathetic as it was before. Gorilla is -20% crit instead of -50% crit which makes it a really easy pick on any character without crit mechanics, and at least potentially viable on characters with crit mechanics, instead of entirely unusable on any character with crit procs. Sake didn't need a buff.

Gold farming will be different. Piggy bank is a solid [phone] gold in stage mode depending on how early you get super chatto, plus Halu for coins for kills. I don't think Kiara ever picked halu but even if halu is 5 levels it's probably worth it. It might get to the point where glasses are no longer optimal over going for more kills.

The bug where skipping the box animation earns you fewer coins will also be fixed. But the growth upgrade (2% primary weapon and special damage per in-game level) seems like it'll be really overpowered for some characters.

I couldnt watch Kiara's stream, she is just so bad at the game. Struggling even on Stage 1. Bruteforcing through the choreographed waves.

[Anonymous No.]

Fubuki: Dodge/Speed focused character whose attack scales with bonus speed. Awakening makes her tail swipe hit in a 270º radius, and can proc swords from her special.
Mio: Close-range sustain type who can spam her special. Costume and Piiman are core on her. Awakening grants her cards a chance to debuff, making her safer up close.
Okayu: Basically crit Fauna. Critting a target makes them vulnerable to instant kills by walking into them. Awakened weapon throws 6 projectiles that slow enemies.
Korone: Tanky with haste. Haste buff is very easy to upkeep but her special can refill them if you fuck up, tankiness comes from max HP and damage reduction. Awakening makes her weapon never stop firing.
Suisei: CRITS. Additional procs on crits and axe weapons (her basic, regular axe and the axe collabs) grant sustain. Awakened weapon has 100% crit rate and 3x crit damage.
Miko: Defensive with debuffs and heals. Awakened weapon and special have additional damage support for other weapons. Synergy with Elite items (Bucket and Cooking for sure, MiComet unconfirmed, there may be new Elite weapons we haven't seen yet).
Roboco: Attack/Crit focused and scales with levels, enemies drop additional XP. Incredible special that grants huge bonuses to attack, haste and crit. Awakened weapon fires a massive energy blast forward. Seems one of the strongest characters in the batch.
Azki: All-rounder. Has a better version of Sana's pulse which seems to be her core ability, a defensive version of Kiara's Dancer with a sprinkle of Kronii's haste for not getting hit. Awakened weapon procs small notes parallel to the main one.
Sora: Boss killer. Marks targets making her pet take their aggro and doing extra damage to them. Awakened weapon shotguns a lingering projectile that explodes when it fades.

I mean, the biggest memes she has are 700yen water and becoming the floor, both of which she explained on EOP friendly Holotalk. You could also go for something with her constant talk of switching from World Line Alpha where she would have graduated last fall to World Line Beta where she stuck around, or the frog who used to be her manager, or all of her hilariously edgy concert names. Hell, you could even pull from her discography and MVs, with her becoming a cat since she has a whole song about it with a fancy animated MV, her lightsaber from the Error MV, her becoming Aqua for the Fake.Fake.Fake MV, her song titled Strongest x Weakest Girl where she has a big fucking hammer, something based off her old unit with Mizushina Aoi and Suzuna Subaru named Shotgun Rose with their first Live being called the First Bullet, or her concert series called Last V Standing.

I'm obviously a bit more knowledgeable then the average fan since she's my oshi, but there's plenty of things to work with that wouldn't have taken more then watching a couple of her MVs for inspiration.

Kiara also has no idea what she's doing with upgrades and doesn't really buy them, though to be fair it's not really obvious to a complete beginner that upgrades are way more important than character unlocks. That being said Kiara is probably the skill level being targeted by the first stage: you can get through it with brute force and not much skill so long as you pick up the very basic idea of killing enemies instead of running away the whole time.

New gold farm build will be glasses, super chat, halu, piggy bank, though that's assuming Kiara didn't miss anything huge for farming. For the last two slots milk will probably be ranked higher than before since it also helps fix the nerfed pickup range. Assuming you can get ahead of them with enough upgrades then the new map is also +20%. I assume Mumei will still be the lazy gold farming pick even with her bugs being fixed; her weapon still gives the best coverage and friend still picks up the most experience.

From what I can gather he does most of his own testing then just hands it to friends to sanity test, which is typical for one-man projects. It's how the bug about skipping animations slipped past him because he was the only one who was really paying attention enough to notice, but he didn't.

I'm not certain whether it actually makes them harder to kill, that'll need testing, but even if they get more health 5% really isn't much. You're realistically adding over 2k coins from Halu; call it ~5k kills per stage after getting it -> 1k coins, +100% from upgrades and super chatto.

She didn't play older characters but we at least know Kiara has been reworked a bit. There were changes to items though, nerfs and buffs. Biggest change for tryhards is that super chat time was dropped to 10% per level but some other new items should make gold farming better anyway.

For other items: Uber sheep is twice as good as before, nurse horns are flat healing instead of a percentage. Horns are still the best item for sustain/casuals but no longer scale infinitely for endless mode, and shit players should still grab body pillow which got buffed to decrease damage taken too. Gorilla paws is now only -20% crit so it's a much better item for characters without crit. Still a bad choice for most characters but it's no longer a run killer if you accidentally pick it with half the cast. Mask got a buff but I forget the exact numbers, Sake got a buff too based on eating.

Kiara didn't have everything unlocked though but I have to assume energy drink has been changed since it was the worst item. The changes mostly seem to be there to make the game easier for low skill players - buffing the crutches like pillow to get players through stage mode - and a few nerfs/reworks where some items were clearly just too strong.

You use it to nuke shit offscreen. She can wipe out all of the waves that you're supposed to avoid which no other character can do.

[Anonymous No.]

>>32641227
Mumei's special is the worst, and looks like it'll still be the worst in 0.4, but it kills everything off-screen without erasing stuff (though it's possible that's a bug that'll be fixed in 0.4) so there are some specific times in each run when you can use it to get more guaranteed kills. It's not that great, but it has some uses.

The real reason Mumei's special is the worst is because it has a slow startup time and then blocks your vision. As a panic button style special killing everything is good, but if you're actually panicking it'll get you killed.

>>32640863
Most weapons aren't great but Mumei, Fauna (homing), and Calli (huge aoe) have good personal weapons.

>Fauna's is probably the worst of those three.
I don't really agree, but it's hard to pull apart the weapon from the passives. If Fauna had Mumei's insane (and bugged) scaling passives then her weapon would be just as good. Personal weapons also seem like they're going to be more relevant with the Growth unlock, which I'm not sure I like as a mechanic but will definitely give fauna's weapon more of a kick to keep it relevant.

She's arguably the best character for stage mode, and mediocre if not bad in endless, and that is perfectly fine.

Walk so they're off screen. She can guarantee all the experience for the first shieldbeat wave, for instance, by just walking to the left or right a bit until they're off screen.

In the grand scheme of things it's not huge but it is a decent chunk of early experience.

>>32641803
Honestly don't think endless has that much appeal, especially in the current version where everything is bugged and unbalanced as hell. Ina also relies on a bug to survive forever. You get the right builds and then you just sit there. It's fun to do once or twice but the novelty wears off.

That experience is only needed if you want to tryhard farming. If you are trying to clear endless, those weaves become meaningless the more bonus you buy from the store.

The auto aim and the attack increment passives are more important for Mumei.

[Anonymous No.]

>>32642187
As in a fuckup so bad that you'd rather restart the run. The game isn't hard, you shouldn't be challenged too much even if you do something stupid like picking gorilla first with Bae, but if I accidentally picked it and disabled most of the mechanics of my character. -50% crit was enough that most characters would not make it back to positive crit chances outside of endless, and in endless you'd much rather take +attack than +crit to get yourself out of crit debt. Without crit most characters lose either a major component of their passives or some of their mechanics.

The game is meant to be easy enough for vtubers to play it and especially early on, with no gacha ranks or shop upgrades to fix her movement. You start out only a bit faster than the enemies so if one of them gets inside the minimum range it takes a lot of running to manage to kill them with only one weapon. The typical beginner will also start by upgrading her scythe instead of picking new weapons which - in the objectively worst design decision - also makes the dead zone larger.

Good/experienced players worked around it by ignoring her scythe completely, which was its own problem.

I had Saplings walking into single patches taking 40 some odd damage and I made sure it was one space so i could see it easier. Kiara had ticks of 7-9 as I was watching over and over. Now there is some room for variation and im playing Cali but god damn that was a big difference in damage and even with all the buffs I had stackedd 5X damage difference indicates it got a notable nerf and doesnt wipe on its own anymore.

She's shit at the game, but lets be real, most of the other EN members aren't that much better skill wise.
I got what I wanted out of the stream. She did managed to unlock all the new characters and got all of them to atleast almost the end of stage 1. So she show cased enough of all the new characters. She also showed off a couple of new items and collabs.
I doubt any of the other EN girls would of shown as much as she did. So chicken did fine, over all. My only complaint is that we didn't get to see much of stage 2.

super items sound nice because currently there's nothing in the game that encourages me to vary my build. i can pick a build at the start of a stage and go straight to it with no variance ever. so hopefully there will be more stuff like that to encourage me to adapt my build on the fly mid stage.

[Anonymous No.]

>>32670731
That's pretty much standard for the genre. In fact, Holocure is pretty good in that sense, since you can at least switch around some of the passive items depending on the character you play (for example: you would never take Gorilla Paw on Bae, but you might on Mumei). In Vampire Survivor your character choice doesn't effect shit other than which 1 passive item you take to evolve the starting weapon.

Speed's a very good stat and her special is fantastic. In contrast, Okayu's weapon isn't very good, the slow makes charmed targets harder to reach, not to mention how uncommon charms are (20% on a crit, target needs to be within her area, needs to survive AND can't be a boss), plus feast is just overkill.

Mumei is probably the one character without crit mechanics/bonus crit where you wouldn't want to take gorilla's paw, at least before this next update. Her attack scales so high (even ignoring the bugs in 0.3) that she gets more damage output from sake than paw.

>>32693071
It really already does get more emphasis. Nothing is really balanced around endless and several of the ways to survive past 30 minutes rely on bugs. Wouldn't surprise me if he made the yagoos scale more aggressively so you can't just outscale them with health pickups anymore.

This is somewhat tangential, but i really dislike this tendency amongst people who got into games after the year 2004 to call all interesting interactions in a game 'bugs'.

One of the worst feelings there is in a gameplay experience is feeling like the game and or developer is trying to 'fight you' in your endeavor to master it. By this we don't mean in a direct sense like it presenting you with challenges you need to figure out, but in a more meta sense, where there is nothing *too* figure out; where every interesting possibility seems to be preemptively closed off, or, where you think you have figured something out, and suddenly it is snatched out of your hands after the fact.

Contrapositively, one of the best feelings in the world when it comes to playing a game is that feeling of figuring out some clever tech and doing something cool with it, taking your play to a higher level. Did you know that in the original Street Fighter II, combo attacks were not a planned feature by the developers? It was a quirk of mechanics discovered by arcade players after release. Something so basically foundational to the popular concept of fighting games, and it arose by complete accident, being consciously elaborated on as a feature in later installments. That is felicity right there.

In later days, what one so often sees is that the moment someone figures out some advantageous tech, a dev team comes in to 'patch' it (because all games are 'always online' nowadays, too). As almost like a knee-jerk, autonomous reflex even, without any conscious thought as to what ultimate purpose is being served thereby, which is often unclear. The ethic that is *implied* by the behavior seems to be either, that nothing not preconcepted by the devteam is allowed, or, that nothing that can give a player an advantage in playing the game is allowed, or some combination thereof. I can hardly think of a term to describe this bent, it is like some kind of spiritual sickness, or unconscious socio-politcal tendency. Like a demented gardener who takes a weedwhacker to any plants that grow up above a certain line; nothing outstanding allowed.

Over time, this process leaves one with a property that feels lifeless, empty, and sterile; learned helplessness, with no special effort to figure out tech because any time you do it'll all get changed anyways; a bubble-wrapped meandering through beige mediocrity; where no particular actions are particular impactful, and you are closer to a stage-actor moving along the carefully choreographed lines of a set-piece, than a player making the world of the game yours.

I know I'm replying to a copypasta, but it literally is a bug and a simple coding error. Haste was applied improperly to Friend's attack so that 100% haste isn't attacking twice as often as it is for every other character, but attacking with no cooldown.

Words like bug or exploit are simply a short way of saying 'unexpected behavior i dont like'.
There may be good reasons for not liking it even. What im trying to push back on here is the uncritical blindspot over the notion that there could even be a debate over such a thing in the first place. To push back against the notion that either, 1. anything unplanned is automatically bad, or more importantly, 2. that anything being more advantageous than other things is automatically bad.

The one argument you always see every time a subject like this comes up anywhere is something like, 'one choice being especially stronger than others makes a game trivial by rendering all other possibilities superfluous', which, on a theoretical level, can certainly be true. This is not an argument against that notion. It is a notation of that fact that, so many think of nothing *except* this notion; their minds are closed off to the idea that there exists anything else in possibility space *beyond* this concern. That a situation where *all* choices are trivial and functionally interchangeable in utility is not only possible, but is in fact the *most* common failure state of popular games in practice, far more than the former case.

There are sociological reasons for this tendency of course; when true equality is achieved by leveling everything to the ground, it may suck, but it also means that there is nothing for anyone to feel *spiteful* over against anyone else, either. The human animal is all too willing to accept things sucking if everything sucks for everyone else, too. Any time a shitter has a bad time while other people are having a good time - or indeed, even the *perception* of other people having a different (and therefore better) time - they will become extremely voiciferous over it - irrespective of whether it is justified or not. And since most developers are humans, they are sensitive to these dynamics too. The squeaky wheels get the oil, and the cycle proceeds thusly in one instance to another over time. The optimization process working towards optimizing for social stability, rather than optimizing for depth of gameplay. Many such cases.

This started off as an EN-centric game anon. That was obviously the main reason this whole project exists. If he stays true to that focus he will add them before all of JP.

Maybe? But I think it's a better idea to let them stew for a while so they can build up memes and references and develop their on-air personality to make for better references/influence their playstyles.
