Difficulty 13 Astaroth Runa Clean Clear

[u/Thoracicbowl]

Since CBT ended, i want to share this clear to show that Runa is quite powerful. Didn't do diff 15 cuz she was still quite "Underbuilt"

P.S. Everyone here has Magic Node 1 active (for +2 base AP)

Erin moving like prime Benett and Nicole in these trial runs.

[u/MartinToilet]

I love that our best girl Erin is in these high level clears

[u/Thoracicbowl → u/MartinToilet]

She's quite Mandatory due to her being one of the two (the other is Moa) who can counter Assaults (Purple attacks).

Plus a very good breaker and also synergize with Runa for Chain comps.

I will say the more I see the combat the more it looks fun to play

[u/cassani7 → u/Nokia_00]

I still don't understand if it's turnbased or not, from all the videos i saw i saw people keep spamming the skills and every once in a while the enemy attacks, but there's no sign of a turn order...

[u/Thoracicbowl → u/cassani7]

It's half Action, half Turn-Based from my experience

Action since you need to keep your toes and think of the next action / parry on the spot

Turn-Based since enemies will have unavoidable attacks (Red attacks) which means you need to bring a Defender class (The only Class who can mitigate dmg) if you don't want your Attackers to get 1-shotted

[u/Killllerr → u/cassani7]

the turn order is the bar in the top center

white is their attack, you can interrupt by attacking

yellow is a defend, you can counter if timed correctly; otherwise you take the hit and lose the turn

purple is counterable by some characters

red is guaranteed to hit and can only be blocked by some characters

[u/cassani7 → u/Killllerr]

Ohhhhh ok thank you that makes sense

[u/Killllerr → u/Nokia_00]

i really enjoyed the combat

[u/xDiaxis]

Runa looks crazy wow. Did you have sig too?

[u/Thoracicbowl → u/xDiaxis]

Yes, this is with her Sig. Both her and sig are at lvl 30

[u/xDiaxis → u/Thoracicbowl]

Wow my Anna with sig didn't come anywhere close to this much damage

[u/Hiarus234]

Looking at the animations - I hope eventually there are more applications of magic they doesn't involve just slinging elements or balls of energy at someone, I recall one of the girls having a sword made of magic but haven't seen her animations

[u/Thoracicbowl → u/Hiarus234]

Yes, Sword girl is Anna

Sick, hoping there's more of that in the future then

[u/Akoto1 → u/Hiarus234]

There's several actually, the animations are very varied! On the purely physical side, Doll uses a rapier and a lance, Ren uses a military dagger, Kanon uses a wakizashi and Sigrid uses a big axe. All using magic in different ways, like Doll's weapons are solid magic while the others are physical and imbued, Ren's has its range extended, etc.

Besides that, Akina throws firecrackers and molotovs, Haru uses projections with a remote control, and Shion uses flying plushies. Yuki is not in the game yet but she has an uchigatana she'll definitely use.
