Dullahan Shield x 5!  Oh goodness!  The whole party has everything one could ever need for combat.

Besides that, Asellus has all the Gun Skills, and all the components to DSC.  It's wonderful to see how much pain she could put her enemies through.  She's gonna be bristling with weapons when she goes to fight Orlouge!

I never knew you could find Gargantu in Riki's Quest.  I sucked so hard at catching the mouse today that I ended up that deep in the caves.  And there was a pre-scene fight and everything!

Gonna check this with Fuse when I start him up in a bit.  While I slap a gun on Asellus to make bad jokes.

Anyhow, I also got Riki to over 700 HP as a Black Dragon.  Seriously!  This is the most powerful he's ever become for me.  Still not as hardy as my humans who are mostly in the 900s for HP (Gen, Emilia, and Fuse even all got to 999) or in the 80os for the less used ones.  The lowest of the main party members (who get little use) are in the LATE 700s, but that might have changed with this latest run around.

Forgot there was a Tricky Tray yesterday!  And I won a Google Nest Mini.  Sure, we've got countertops to put in later this month/early next month (the measurement won't happen till the 25th).  I'll install it after that.

Anyhow, that has delayed gaming a tad, but I did manage to fill up the night with T260G's entire Quest.  Which took a bit longer only due to the final boss.  I freaking hate RB3!  Its damage is so high compared to other final bosses, is unblockable by my shields that have a chance to block pretty much all else, and hits all allies!  If it didn't, I'd be cruising, but literally the action stops so Gen, Mei-ling, Leonard, and Engineer Car can heal everyone!  Which takes two or three turns mattering how much shit he throws out in the meanwhile!

Also, it seems he has a set number of phases he must go through (like Spriggan, but at least Spriggan doesn't murder me).  No matter what BR I'm at, I still have to get hit with Carnage like 3 times!  It's a pain in the butt, royally!

Did I mention I also hate the sheer number of forced encounters in the final dungeon?  It's worse than Mosperiburg's trials for Riki!

Okay, when you've already got a super soldier that you've been nudging in Fuse's free time...what's there to do?  Simple!  Let her learn some Magic!  Meaning...I taught Asellus both Mystic and Light Magic (the former off a Purple Eye so I didn't even buy anything, the latter I brought what I could and made her learn the mastery spells).  Amused by the first spell I learned being Mirrorshade, when I'd yet to learn a single non-Mastery Mystic Spell!

Meaning, I've essentially powered up a lot more of her stats since Magic raises other things that she'd never really worked on.  Oh, the slaughterings will be hilarious!  It's also something else to do in Fuse's free time, getting her Intelligence and JP up (okay, her Int is at 50 with a Phantasm equipped so she does proc Death sometimes, and her JP is nearly at 100).

Gonna cast Phantasm Shot all the way to the bosses for lulz!

So, I decided to lose to Rouge so I can see if I can get him Mind Magic.  Seems to be working as I carried it on to Fuse's (earlier, only Blue carried the Mind Magic I'd brought and Mastered).  That's good...even if I don't spend time using it to buff and would rather have a heal I could use on other party members.  Just want some sort of completeness.

Anyhow, nothing much else.  Do have to go through Tanzer to put a party together if I play with Rouge as the winner in Fuse's (wish it was like Emilia where you have to get another Rune to activate Tanzer or something).  Ah, well, just need to grab Red and Asellus.  I'll prolly use Mei-ling as my gunner (and extra healer) since I'd have to finish all the Rune Quests if I want to grab Emilia.  Most likely, with this experiment done, I'll just do Blue from now on with Fuse...though knowing my stubbornness I'll more or less do who wins the duel.  I will try to win if I return to this file, but no promises seeing as even though I grabbed Time Magic, Rouge still cast Overdrive.

Yeah...the Black Ray is a pain as always.  And then I forgot the elevator so I had to blow an attempt trying to figure out how to compensate.  Honestly, I prolly could have finished Red by 8 if I hadn't died a million times to the explosion!

But I am saved right before the boss rush at the end, so there's that.  Should get this done, and at least start Fuse, by the end of the night.

The faster I do things, the more likely I'll be able to get it done by the 24th when the next game on the list comes out!

In a bit over two hours today, I got the following done...

Emilia's Story
Emilia's Case File
Lute's Story

Why do Lute again so soon?  Simple!  I decided we should do the Case Files in order after realizing Emilia was up top.  And I only started with her to get the two Angel Brooch from her and the Case File that I'd need to field the full team.  Ya know, because I'd rather not die a painful death to someone being Charmed in Yorkland Swamp.  We just removed all the dangerous Status Effects from play!

Another advantage is that I don't have to do Riki till last...heck yeah!

Anyhow, I also found out something wonderful.  That is, how Emilia can change her outfit immediately in a NG+.  Not just to the four you can normally change into, but to her Wedding Dress as well!  If I cared to teach her DSC, this would be awesome, but I'm satisfied with her being my gunner.

Day off tomorrow heck yeah!

Took me two days and several in and outs to get past the BR with Genbu.  Does the swamp and Bio Lab just stop growing eventually to let the other areas catch up?  I'd have thought that only happened at Max BR!  Seeing as I face non-Max BR enemies in final dungeons after grinding till I've fought enough Dullahans!

I only say this because Fuck Genbus!  Block everything, come with stupid Gunbirds that Reaction Shot 3 attacks away, as well as Treants I can't use Tumble on.  I'll take a Basilisk any day...

We did take a break in the Bio Lab to advance the rank.  And fight Earth Dragon for kicks.  I mean, I have more Dragon Shields than I'll ever need, but it's there.  They're good enough...not gonna be screaming about farming Durahan Shields!

Doing the last bits of T260G's storyline.  And interestingly enough, if you get the Omega Body, Leonard will have it with him when you visit in Shrike in a NG+.  So I've basically been Omega the entire game for giggles.

Well...technically I'm trying to absorb some heavy-duty stuff for T260G that I can't get in the base form.  I mean, not that I need much besides Multi-Slash and Shock Soldier.  But since I'm likely to either be in Base or Omega, might as well.  Though it's being rather stubborn so I have a feeling that I won't be able to until a higher BR.  Meaning...the run through when I'm playing on Max BR.

Also...gave her the Spriggan Suit.  I had Max HP in Type 1, and 95o (but with more balanced stats) with Omega Model.  Glorious!

So, figuring I have an overpowered freakshow team, I decide to go murder the Magma Slimes with Riki's first team in hopes of absorbing them.  Aaaaaaaaaaaand it goes south real quick when Riki gets hit with 2 attacks on multiple rounds.  We need to survive 6.  He has 8 LP as a Black Dragon.  This should work but I'm getting really shitty luck.

This is also after skipping Round 1 with Mei-ling and Emilia teaming up to Total Shot the bastards!  Unfortunately, it skips their reload time after everyone else murders a group so we don't get another of these.

I basically stopped in anger after fifteen minutes and went back to using the second team for the fight.  Fuck this!  I'll bet they'd just give me the crappy Fire Barrier I absorbed from Suzaku in the past...
